Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk's estranged daughter, wows crowd at LA drag show
Elon Musk's transgender daughter Vivian Wilson made headlines on Friday night with her striking drag performance at The Bellwether, a concert hall in downtown Los Angeles. Vivian, who has publicly distanced herself from the Tesla CEO, appeared in a black skin-tight bodysuit and delivered a dramatic stage act that received a standing ovation. The performance also marked one of Vivian's most public appearances since she legally cut ties with her father in 2022 and adopted her mother's surname.
Vivian, who identifies as transgender, took to the stage during SAVE HER! — an Environmental Drag Show. She performed a lip-synced operatic piece, twisting and bending her body in a tightly choreographed routine that had the audience cheering loudly. Audience members erupted in applause as she ended her performance.

The drag night also featured artists such as Vera!, Nini Coco, Jacob Ostler, Vivllainous, Skirt Cocaine, Noxxia Datura and Trudy Tective. However, it was Vivian who dominated the spotlight with her powerful debut.

Missing Gujarati filmmaker Mahesh Jirawala confirmed dead in Ahmedabad plane crash; family claims body after DNA match
The tragic death of Gujarati filmmaker Mahesh Kalawadia, popularly known as Mahesh Jirawala , has been officially confirmed following the devastating Ahmedabad plane crash. Initially feared missing after the incident, his identity was verified through a DNA test, bringing a heartbreaking end to the family's search. According to Divya Bhaskar, a burnt Activa scooter registered to Jirawala was discovered at the crash site near Shahibaug, leading authorities to suspect his involvement. His mobile phone was also last traced to the crash location before it was found switched off, further strengthening the suspicion. Family in denial at first, accepts body after forensic confirmation While early clues pointed to Jirawala being among the victims, his family initially refused to accept the body, struggling with shock and disbelief.

Adnan Sami HITS Back At Pakistan Trolls: ‘You Didn't Celebrate Me, India Did'
Last Updated: Adnan Sami calls backlash over Indian citizenship 'ex-lover syndrome,' saying critics haven't moved on. Says his issue was with Pakistan's govt, not people. Renowned singer-composer Adnan Sami may have embraced Indian citizenship nearly a decade ago, but his decision continues to attract a barrage of online criticism, especially from across the border. Despite having moved to India in 2001 and being granted Indian citizenship in 2016, the UK-born artist—who once held Pakistani and Canadian citizenship—says he's still being reminded of where he 'originally came from." In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, the Tera Chehra hitmaker opened up about the lingering hate he receives on social media, especially from Pakistan. Comparing it to an emotionally unresolved breakup, Adnan said, 'It's like an ex-lover. When an ex-lover sees you moving on and getting involved with somebody else, they'll always come up with reasons to hate you. But the reason why they actually do that is because they still haven't gotten over you. It's love, and love manifests in many absurd ways." He described the backlash as a 'classic case of sour grapes," explaining that the resentment stems from a place of jealousy rather than rationality, 'It is ridiculous for anyone from anywhere to presume that they know what the reasons were behind it. There were solid reasons." While migration across borders is a common phenomenon globally, Sami believes the criticism aimed at him is unique to the India-Pakistan rivalry, 'At the end of the day, you can argue and say, 'People are migrating all over the world all the time. Why don't they have issues with them?' First of all, because of the geopolitical nature between India and Pakistan, there is a rivalry between the two for whatever reason. But more than that, it is the ex-lover syndrome." Addressing the frequently blurred lines between the people and the political leadership of Pakistan, Adnan drew a distinction, 'That's just the tip of the iceberg. However, let me make it very clear, my audience and people over there have always been very loving. And they still are, and I love them very much even today. I'm very grateful to them for all the love that they've given me." He reiterated that his long-standing frustration was with the Pakistani government, not its citizens, 'My issues have always been with the Pakistani government." Despite being a globally known artist with a catalogue of hits to his name, Adnan revealed that the Pakistani government never recognised his contributions, 'They never acknowledged my work or honoured me in any way. That's just the tip of the iceberg." For Adnan, the greatest reward has always been emotional rather than institutional, 'For an artiste, the biggest nourishment is love. So, from whichever corner of the world they get that love, they will be very grateful for it. My music is for everybody. I have not put any boundaries on my music. You want to listen to it? Most welcome. You don't want to? Thanks for trying." First Published: June 20, 2025, 22:06 IST

Adnan Sami calls hate over renouncing Pakistani citizenship and embracing Indian identity ‘ex-lover syndrome': ‘When a former partner sees you moving on…'
Although it's been almost a decade since he officially became an Indian citizen, renowned singer-composer Adnan Sami is still frequently reminded that he was born a Pakistani. From subtle taunts to direct personal attacks on social media, he continues to face criticism in various forms. Yet, Adnan has never missed an opportunity to express how proud he is to be an Indian, with his reaction to the Pahalgam terror attack serving as a strong example. In a recent interview, he opened up about the hatred he receives for renouncing his Pakistani citizenship and embracing Indian identity. He likened the criticism to a situation where a person, who is jealous of a former partner moving on and finding happiness, begins to badmouth them. He also dubbed it a form of love 'that manifests in an absurd way'. He shared during a chat with Bollywood Bubble, 'It's like an ex-lover. When an ex-lover sees you moving on and getting involved with somebody else, they'll always come up with reasons to hate you. But the reason why they actually do that is because they still haven't gotten over you. It's love, and love manifests in many absurd ways.'

Nonetheless, he noted that they are unaware of the circumstances that led him to make the decision. For the unversed, Adnan Sami was born in England and previously held both Pakistani and Canadian citizenship. He moved to India in 2001 and was granted citizenship in 2016. 'It is ridiculous for anyone from anywhere to presume that they know what the reasons were behind it. There were solid reasons.

Adnan Sami also pointed out that despite being a well-known artiste with numerous hits, the Pakistani government never acknowledged his work or honoured him in any way, thus turning a blind eye to his contributions. 'That's just the tip of the iceberg. However, let me make it very clear, my audience and people over there have always been very loving. And they still are, and I love them very much even today. I'm very grateful to them for all the love that they've given me.' He further maintained that his issues have always been with the Pakistani government, not the people, and particularly with how he was treated by those in power. 'For an artiste, the biggest nourishment is love. So, from whichever corner of the world they get that love, they will be very grateful for it. My music is for everybody. I have not put any boundaries on my music. You want to listen to it? Most welcome. You don't want to? Thanks for trying.'
