Sanjay Leela Bhansali's niece, Heeramandi actor Sharmin Segal is expecting her first child with businessman husband Aman Mehta: report
Sharmin Segal, who was all over the news last year for the portrayal of Alamzeb in uncle Sanjay Leela Bhansali's debut web series, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, is reportedly pregnant with her first child.
Sharmin, who was quite active on Instagram until June last year, has not posted anything after June 27. Her last post was from her holiday to a unknown location. The news of her pregnancy was shared by journalist Vickey Lalwani on social media.
Sharmin, who marked her Bollywood debut with the 2019 film Malaal, later appeared in the 2022 film Atithi Bhooto Bhava, followed by Heeramandi. While, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's series garnered attention for its larger-than-life sets and customised costumes depicting the lifestyle of courtesans, it equally attracted criticism for Sharmin's performance, with some even targeting and trolling the actress. The series also starred actors Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Fardeen Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Richa Chadha, among others.
Sharmin had addressed the trolling but chose to look at the silver lining. 'I had given my all to Alamzeb's character. We tend to fixate on the negatives but there are so many positives that have also come along, which we don't talk about. It's perhaps not interesting enough to talk about positives and we tend to look over them to some degree,' she had said.
Sharmin Segal married the executive director of Torrent Pharmaceuticals in 2023 amid the filming of Heeramandi. The couple is now expecting their first child. The actress and her family are yet to confirm the news.
The actress settled in Ahmedabad after marrying Aman. However, it is reported that Sharmin is currently in Mumbai for her delivery. Before, getting into acting, Sharmin was assisting his uncle Sanjay in several of his films.

"You don't need fancy gyms; it can start right at home...": Rakul Preet Singh, Jackky Bhagnani celebrate Yoga Day, urge youth to embrace wellness
New Delhi [India], June 21 (ANI): On the occasion of International Yoga Day, Bollywood couple- actress Rakul Preet Singh and filmmaker Jackky Bhagnani marked their presence in the capital, voicing strong support for the Fit India Movement and highlighting yoga as an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. Rakul Preet Singh, speaking at the event, described fitness as more than a routine. 'Fitness is a way of life for both of us. It's not a shortcut, nor is it a solution just to stay slim. It's a way of life, and it's our passion. Wellness, fitness, yoga, it feels great to be connected with Fit India,' she said. She further expressed gratitude for being recognised as a Fit India Couple along with Jackky Bhagnani. 'It is an honour to be part of this journey and to receive the Fit India Couple recognition. We hope to inspire more people to embrace fitness and yoga in their daily lives. You don't need fancy gyms; it can start right at home,' Rakul told ANI. Jackky Bhagnani also echoed similar sentiments, praising the government's proactive approach to health and wellness. Reflecting on his journey, he said, 'I was once 150 kg and lost 75 kg. I wish I had this kind of motivation earlier. Under the leadership of Modi ji and with Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya taking active steps, like organising 'Sunday on Cycle', it feels amazing to be a part of this change.' Speaking to ANI, Jackky further added, 'The vision of PM Modi and Union Minister Mandaviya is truly inspiring. It's crucial for the youth of this country to prioritise health. We're proud to support such impactful initiatives.' Every year, the 11th International Day of Yoga (IDY) is celebrated on June 21. This year marks the 11th International Day of Yoga with the theme 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health', which echoes a vital truth that personal wellness and planetary health are inseparably linked. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday took part in the 11th International Day of Yoga celebrations, where he hailed yoga as a gift 'beyond age' that transcends all boundaries and unites humanity in 'health and harmony.' The event took place against the scenic backdrop of the Visakhapatnam coastline, with Indian Navy ships stationed near the shore, adding to the grandeur of the celebrations. Over three lakh individuals joined him for a mass yoga session in the coastal city, reinforcing this year's message that 'yoga belongs to everyone' and brings the world together. While addressing the gathering, PM Modi said, 'Yoga is for everyone beyond boundaries, beyond backgrounds, beyond age or physical ability. It is a universal gift that unites humanity in health, harmony, and consciousness. Friends, I am truly delighted that we are gathered here in Visakhapatnam, a city that beautifully blends nature with progress.' According to a United Nations statement, yoga strengthens the body, calms the mind, and fosters a heightened sense of awareness and responsibility in daily life. This mindfulness allows one to choose healthier and more sustainable lifestyles. In 2014, the United Nations declared June 21 as the International Day of Yoga by resolution 69/131. The draft resolution establishing the International Day of Yoga was proposed by India and endorsed by a record 175 member states. PM Modi first introduced the proposal in his address during the opening of the 69th session of the General Assembly. (ANI)

BTS' RM says he gets ‘really jealous' when he listens to great albums: ‘I just can't be objective'
BTS' RM, aka Kim Namjoon, is back with his band as they plan a reunion after their military discharge. Amid this excitement for the bad members and their fans, RM, in a recent chat, spoke about his affair with art, and admitted that he experiences the feeling of jealousy when he listens to albums from fellow musicians. He also spoke about his Instagram feed and said that it has nothing to do with politics, and looks like a curated art gallery. With burnout and setbacks that inevitably came after over a decade of life in the spotlight, RM said he once stumbled into Chicago's Art Institute during a tour stop and found himself utterly floored. 'Just the idea popped into my head: why don't I go to the museum and see some Monet or Van Gogh?' he recalled in a chat shared on Samsung Newsroom's YouTube channel. 'I was shocked to see all of those textures.' he continued, 'My mental peace is that I don't get jealous [of fine art]… I find peace because my drawing sucks and I'm not good at it at all,' prompting some chuckles from the crowd. But the rapper admitted that when he's listening to brilliant albums from fellow musicians, he gets jealous. He said, 'Like sometimes when I listen to like, great musicians' albums, I get really jealous and I just can't be objective.' He said that this was why he turned elsewhere for escape. 'I don't get jealous of art,' he said. 'I just get peace.' Also read: BTS loses brand value ranking to K-pop's rising superstars despite major military comeback in June: Check out the Top 20 Throughout the conversation, the Indigo hitmaker was warm, expressive, and extremely grounded, calling himself a young man who is still figuring things out. From posters on his wall to a digital frame TV, he shared how his love for art evolved naturally, with no pressure to 'know it all.' He added, 'There are millions of artists out there, but maybe I know 50 or 70 that I could talk about. And that's okay.' Also read: BTS is home: But why ARMY's energy just isn't the same anymore; analysing 5 factors Korean celebrities are often called out for sharing their political opinions in public, a topic still considered highly sensitive among South Koreans, especially given the country's turbulent history with neighbouring nations like North Korea and Japan. Just a few days ago, BTS member Jungkook found himself in a similar controversy. However, RM made it clear that the art he shares on his Instagram feed has nothing to do with personal partnerships or politics. 'There's no political or profitable connection to it,' he said. 'If I like it, I share it.' He recalled how millions of his fans have helped him, and the world, discover underrated artists who deserve appreciation. Despite being labelled a 'curator' by many, RM said he doesn't see himself as one. 'I didn't major in art history,' he shrugged. 'I'm just a fan.' 'Art makes me happy,' he said, wrapping up the conversation, adding he dreams of building his own space in Seoul to bridge East and West, old and new.

How Far Will Parents Go For Views? The Toddler-Lizard Video Says A Lot
Parenting is often called a 24/7 job, demanding constant attention, responsibility, and care for a child's safety, no matter the hour. In today's social media-driven world, some parents seem more focused on capturing content than protecting their children. A recent viral video has raised questions about responsible parenting after a shocking scene unfolded on Instagram. The video shows a large lizard crawling around a toddler who is lying in a baby stroller, completely unaware of the reptile's presence. The lizard had entered the pram and couldn't find a way out. What startled many viewers wasn't just the presence of the reptile, but the parents' reaction. Instead of rushing to protect the child, the parents remained unusually calm. The father is seen laughing and trying to catch the lizard—unsuccessfully—while the mother continues filming. Each failed attempt is met with more laughter from the couple, raising serious concerns about their priorities and the risks they were willing to take for views and entertainment.
