Sara's blue-bow moment turns heads
Sara Ali Khan, once hailed as Bollywood's promising new face after delivering early hits like Simmba and Love Aaj Kal, has recently faced a string of underwhelming films, particularly on OTT platforms. However, the young actress continues to make headlines—this time not for her films, but for her fashion statement.
At a recent event, Sara wowed fashion watchers in a light blue strapless mini-dress that balanced elegance with a playful twist. The dress featured a clean and structured front that flaunted her toned figure, paired with sparkling heels and subtle earrings. Her neatly pulled-back hair accentuated the neckline, giving her look a breezy, contemporary finish. The real show-stealer, however, was the oversized bow at the back—an unexpected, dramatic element that added flair to the otherwise minimalist outfit. The look was red-carpet ready, capturing both style and simplicity in one silhouette.
On the work front, Sara is gearing up for Metro… In Dino, a slice-of-life comedy-drama helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Basu. The ensemble cast is packed with seasoned actors like Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Ali Fazal—making it a challenging space for Sara to stand out. Yet, the film could offer her the perfect opportunity to redefine her trajectory and prove her mettle amidst veterans.

Sara Ali Khan is making waves with her summer-perfect looks while promoting her upcoming film, Metro…In Dino. Recently, she turned heads in a bold, black co-ord set from Brawny Mellow, featuring a one-shoulder blazer with a unique scarf-style neck wrap and straight-cut trousers. Sara Ali Khan is on a serious style streak, and we're here for all of it. As she gears up for the promotions of Metro…In Dino, the actress is giving us back-to-back summer-perfect looks with just the right mix of glam, comfort, and that signature Sara charm. Her latest outfit? A bold, black co-ord set that screams power and polish. Sara rocked a coal black one-shoulder blazer set from Brawny Mellow that turned heads instantly. The top came with an asymmetrical neckline, a fitted bodice, and a cool scarf-style neck wrap that gave it a unique twist. We loved the angular cut lines and the front button detail - structured but still super wearable. Plus, there was a belt at the back to cinch in the waist and bring that boss-lady vibe full circle. She paired the top with straight-cut trousers in the same shade, featuring slanted pockets and pleated detailing that added a touch of edge. The relaxed fit showed us one thing clearly, Sara's all about comfort without compromising on style. And honestly, we love that energy. To balance out the all-black ensemble, she slipped into shimmery silver heels that brought a playful contrast to her look. For accessories, she kept things chic and sharp - think silver studs, statement rings, and a cool pair of ear cuffs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [video] Health Benefits Undo Minimal, but definitely impactful. Her glam game was equally on point. With a fresh dewy base, a pop of blush, and soft highlighter to catch the light just right, Sara kept things glowy. Smokey, smudged eyes gave her look that little bit of drama, and nude lips sealed the deal. She pulled her hair back into a sleek low ponytail, keeping the focus on her outfit and those cheekbones. If there's one thing Sara loves, it's a good co-ord set. Earlier during the same promo tour, she slipped into a blue one-shoulder top with matching pants, serving another round of effortless style. A few gold bracelets, the same sleek ponytail, and a soft glam makeup look completed that one too and yes, we're still thinking about it. From romantic dresses to structured power dressing, Sara's clearly having a fashion moment. And if her current streak is anything to go by, we're more than ready to raid her closet.

‘There's a thairaav in Metro…in the words and performances.'
Q. How did you end up in the Basu da romantic universe?He messaged; we have been in touch for some time, not for this. I am a bit shy in trying to tell the person I want to work with. But he is perceptive, so I guess he kept me in mind.Q. It's been nearly two decades since Life in aMetro. Its songs and scenes continue to pop up on social media every now and then. What do you most recall about it?advertisementIt was very cool. At the time the only kind of films like it were Crash and Babel, which were very serious. In the Indian context, with the love stories intertwining and the musical approach, this was refreshing. Recently, my wife [Richa Chadha] and I were watching songs from the first Metro and it felt like some things are just perfectly etched in time. Time just goes still. You see Nafisa Ali, Dharmendra and Irrfan; you can't get your eyes off Nafisa ma'am. Now the songs we do and the way we showcase the narrative overall, it is a little more paced. You can see in Metro there's thairaav (gravitas). Perhaps it's in this one, too, in the words and performances.Q. Romance too has evolved from then [2007] to now? Does the film capture that change?advertisementYes. Anurag Basu is a perceptive filmmaker; you see the pace of a metro in his film. Earlier people from other cities used to lose themselves in Mumbai. I remember sitting and dreaming on Marine Drive that I would do this and do that. There were no reels to get distracted by. Now there are other outlets for venting. But the core issues are similar and the emotions are the same. Everybody is going through some form of trauma, that has come from somewhere–generational, daddy issues, triggers in relationship, extramarital affairs, situationship These are new labels. There are the nine rasas in the different permutations and combinations.Q. Tell us about your track with Fatima Sana a more elevated track emotionally. The fun banter is there, but it's limited as opposed to Sara [Ali Khan] and Adi's [Aditya Roy Kapur]. There's a bit of gloom. It hits you like a train, then it is all downhill. It's a lot of ups and downs. It's the real life, coming to Mumbai to realise your dreams, paying rent while you are in love That's the brutal truth, he has shown how you fight through that. Ek zidd hai (there is a stubbornness).advertisementQ. And the stories are intertwining?But very subtly. I think Basu da is playing on something else that none of the actors know about. Pankaj [Tripathi] ji told me the other day that there was a car that comes and I stop and it almost hits me. Now he is sitting in the car.Q. Basu is one of the last of the Mohicans in how he sees and treats romances. What was it like working with him?He leaves you hungry for more. I really hope my paths cross with him in a more expanded is a certified genius, who works differently and has everything calculated, but he leaves room for actors to bring in their game. There's a lot of unsaid stuff that went on between us which I will cherish. He will give you a clue to see it, then it is you making a choice. It's beautiful to have a director championing you.Q. You donned the producer's hat last year with Girls Will Be Girls, which won a lot of critical acclaim and accolades to go with it. What's brewing with your production banner, Pushing Buttons?It's so nice to be able to make cinema that we wanted to watch. Richa and I want to do that again and again. Some of the studios have been good with us. The Amazon Prime release for the film helped in a big way. The idea is good films be made, we desperately need are in pre-production for two films and one show for which we await the greenlight. Richa is acting in one, I am doing one. That's because of the director's choices rather than us being You have also done Lahore 1947 with Sunny Deol and Shabana (Khan) sir was very instrumental in convincing me to step in. Raj ji [Kumar Santoshi, director] was gung-ho about narrating me this track, which has its own thing going on. The powers that be will decide when it comes out. I have two to three days of patchwork shoot to India Today Magazine

Na Gori Se, Na Kali Se... Salman Khan Opens Up About Marriage Plans On Kapil Sharmas Show
New Delhi: The much-awaited Season 3 of The Great Indian Kapil Show premiered on Netflix on June 21, with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan making an appearance as the show's first celebrity guest. Host Kapil Sharma kicked off the conversation by highlighting a humorous coincidence, both Shah Rukh Khan's wife and Aamir Khan's girlfriend are named Gauri (Gauri Khan and Gauri Spratt, respectively). Turning to Salman, he joked, 'Aapki life mein koi gori–Gauri nahi hai?' (Is there no fair–Gauri in your life?). To this, Salman replied with his signature humour, "Na gori se, na kaali se... dilwali se." (Neither fair nor dark… only someone with a beautiful heart.) Later, Archana Puran Singh brought up the age-old question fans never stop asking: "Salman, aapko kitni baar log pooch chuke hain: 'Bhaiya, aap kab shaadi karoge?'" (Salman, how many times have people asked: 'When will you get married?') Salman quipped, "Haan, poochte toh rehte hain. Par main humesha kehta hoon, meri shaadi karne se aapko kya fayda hai?" (Yes, they keep asking. But I always say—what difference does it make to you if I get married?) He continued with his hilarious take "Kya aapko maza aa raha hai? Main aapke liye suhagraat mana raha hoon? Aapko itni khushi ho rahi hai ki main barbaad ho jaun?" (Are you enjoying this? Am I celebrating my wedding night for you? You're this happy hoping I get ruined?) On a more serious note, Salman reflected on modern relationships, saying, 'The patience, the fights, the sacrifices that a husband and wife make for each other, that tolerance factor is missing now. These days, someone puts a leg over you while sleeping and it leads to a divorce.' He added, "Choti si misunderstandings par divorce ho jata hai" (Small misunderstandings lead to a divorce) He further remarked on the financial strain of divorce, joking, 'Aur phir divorce toh ho hi jaata hai, aadhe paise leke chali jaati hai." (And then divorce happens, and she walks away with half your money.) Also Read | 'Uske Bawajood Kaam Kar Rahe...'

Looking ahead, the next episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show will feature filmmaker Anurag Basu and the cast of upcoming film 'Metro… In Dino'.
