Dua Lipa's engagement ring from Callum Turner is worth a fortune, and she's ‘obsessed'
Popstar Dua Lipa and British actor Callum Turner are officially engaged, a year after confirming their romance. Though the exact timeline of their engagement wasn't revealed, the couple had sparked rumours for months after fans spotted the big diamond on the singer's finger in late 2024. But now, during an interview with Vogue published on June 12, 2025, Dua confirmed the news, saying, 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting.' What's just as intriguing is her old European-cut diamond, which she has been obsessed with since day one. During the interview, the Levitating singer revealed that Callum had the ring custom-made for her.

Dua and Callum first sparked dating rumours after the singer made an after-party appearance alongside the actor for Apple TV+ series Masters of the Air. While speaking to the magazine, the Houdini crooner revealed that their paths first crossed at a London restaurant, where they were introduced by the café's co-founders. A year later, fate brought them together again at another restaurant. At the time, she was having dinner with her friend, Mustafa the Poe,t when Callum suddenly walked in. She recalled, 'Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe.' She also realised something strangely common between them, they were both reading the same book: Trust by Hernan Diaz. Dua described it as one of their many 'sliding doors moments.'
Announcing her engagement, she said, 'It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling.'
Fans knew wedding bells were coming when Dua first flaunted her diamond on Instagram during Christmas Eve 2024. But since the couple didn't acknowledge it, the buzz died down quickly. Now, the singer revealed, 'I'm obsessed with it,' she said. 'It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Callum reportedly teamed up with Dua's sister Rina and her close friends to design it.

According to PEOPLE, who spoke to New York-based luxury wedding ring designer Suisse Saltzman, Dua's ring is set on a wide gold cigar band. The designer revealed that the centre diamond is either round brilliant or old European cut, giving it an elegant touch. Calling it possibly bezel-set, quite different from the usual delicate solitaire designs, Saltzman said the diamond is 'set low, nearly flush with the wide gold band.' Saltzman estimated the cost somewhere between $65,000 and $125,000, depending on the size and quality of the diamond. However, another diamond expert, Laura Taylor, believes it's closer to 3-4 carats, which could push the price to around $200,000 to $270,000.
Dua and Callum aren't rushing into wedding planning just yet. The two are focused on enjoying their engagement and getting to know each other better. Their professional commitments are also keeping them from taking the next step. Dua is busy with her music tour, and Callum is tied up with filming projects. Speaking of which, the singer said, 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period,' she explained. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?''

Desi Boyz take over Oxford as Bollywood beats light up historic halls in viral dance video
Oxford University witnessed an unexpected cultural crossover as alumnus Druv Punjabi and his crew filmed a lively Bollywood dance video to Desi Boyz across its iconic campus. From Lady Margaret Hall to stone pathways, the reel blends Indian energy with British legacy, going viral on Instagram and winning hearts for its joyful celebration of desi identity in elite spaces. (Screenshots: Instagram/ druvphk) It's not every day that the ancient, ivy-covered walls of Oxford University groove to a Bollywood beat. But on June 21, 2025, that's exactly what happened — virtually, at least — when alumnus Druv Punjabi and his crew unleashed a vibrant, high-energy dance video shot across some of Oxford's most iconic spots. The song of choice? None other than the foot-tapping anthem Desi Boyz. Posted on Instagram via @druvphk, the video features a group of young men in modern outfits executing flawless Bollywood choreography in locations like Lady Margaret Hall, gardens, stone corridors, and open courtyards — the kind of places more accustomed to academic robes than dance rehearsals. In a perfect clash of cultures, the video showcases what happens when the traditions of one of the world's oldest universities meet the charisma and colour of Indian cinema. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Druv Punjabi (@druvphk) The video caption itself set the tone: 'Check out this incredible Bollywood dance video filmed at Lady Margaret Hall and other iconic Oxford spots – created by alumnus Druv Punjabi and crew 🕺'. Since its posting, it has racked up over 30,000 views and hundreds of heartwarming reactions celebrating the cultural fusion. Netizens have been quick to cheer on the crew. One user wrote, 'God bless you Desi Boys — lovely to see Indian culture coming through at the University of Oxford ❤️'. Another gushed, 'Oxford gets a taste of Bollywood 🔥', while a third joked, 'Aah Bollywood making it to Oxford halls, seriously vocal for local working guys 😂'. The enthusiasm only amplified with comments like 'The halls of Oxford University echoing with Bollywood mashups 🙌❤️'. What makes the video special isn't just the choreography or the catchy track — it's the powerful symbolism behind the spectacle. Oxford, often seen as a bastion of Western academia, becomes a stage for South Asian pride and joyful cultural expression. In an era where cultural expression is often boxed into binaries of tradition and modernity, this video bursts through the frame with a colourful 'why not both?' The seamless blend of Oxford's regal surroundings with Bollywood's unmistakable energy creates a spectacle that's as moving as it is the 30,000 views and countless shares are impressive, what Druv Punjabi and his crew have pulled off is much more than a trending reel. It's a message: that identity is something to be danced with, celebrated, and fearlessly shared — even against the stone pillars of a 900-year-old institution.
