Get to know... Aastha Gill

Currently, I am: Working on new music. There's more to my music than party tracks. High point in life: When Badshah told me he believed I could be a big pop star. I didn't have the guts to dream that big. Low point in life: After my song DJ Wale Babu, I felt lost and clueless. It took me about three years to figure out what my next release should be. On my playlist: Die With A Smile, by Bruno Mars; Love Ya, by Diljit Dosanjh; Bachke Bachke, by Karan Aujla; and my own release, Paapi. One thing I would never buy: Flowers for myself. I'd rather have someone gift them to me. Today I'm craving: Home-cooked food. Last thing I ordered online: Marvis toothpaste. I saw a Victoria's Secret model use it, and it is really good. App I check before going to bed: Call of Duty. I play a bit before I sleep. Advice I'd give my 18-year-old self: Enjoy whatever you're doing. There's plenty of time later to worry about stress and responsibilities, so chill and live in the moment. My favourite subject in school: Art. My art teacher believed I'd become a painter. My secret skill: Cooking! I love to do it when I am alone at home. A superpower I wish I had: Being invisible when I choose. My favourite Sunday memory: Spending time with the babies of my best friends. My plans for next Sunday: Chilling with family, cuddling my puppy Bella, and lying in bed doing nothing. My most star-struck moment: Seeing Shah Rukh Khan for the first time at an Ambani wedding. When he walked into the room, I was speechless. I couldn't take my eyes off him. My favourite bad habit: Not saying a word until I brush my teeth. I communicate in sign language until I'm ready to talk. If I could travel back or forward in time, I'd…: Skip the opportunity. I've learnt from the past and I'm excited about the future. The best thing about fame: It's not for everyone. But if you know how to handle it, you'll rock it. The worst thing about fame: It really is not for everybody. If you don't know how to handle it, it can slip right through your fingers. From HT Brunch, June 21, 2025 Follow us on

Who is Huma Abedin? Indian-origin ex-aide to Hillary Clinton; now married to George Soros's son Alex Soros

Indian-origin author and longtime aide Huma Abedin has married Alex Soros, the son of billionaire philanthropist George Soros. The event dubbed as the 'wedding of liberal royalty' by The New York Times , was held at the couple's home in New York and drew a star-studded, high-profile guest list that included political heavyweights and celebrities. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Among those present were Hillary and Bill Clinton, Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and international guests like Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama. Other attendees included Vogue editor Anna Wintour, socialite Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and longtime Clinton ally Susie Tompkins Buell, adding to the glitz and influence at the celebration. Who is Alex Soros? Alex Soros, 39, is the chairman of the Open Society Foundations, the global philanthropic organization founded by his father, billionaire investor George Soros. Raised in New York, Alex graduated from New York University in 2009 and earned a PhD in history from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2018. In June 2023, he was named the heir to his father's fortune and took over leadership of OSF and Soros Fund Management. Who is Huma Abedin? Huma Abedin, 48, is a longtime political aide and trusted confidante of Hillary Clinton. Often called Clinton's 'second daughter,' she worked closely with her in various roles — from the White House to the US Senate and the State Department. Born in Michigan to an Indian father and Pakistani mother, Abedin was raised in Saudi Arabia. She often credits her multicultural background for shaping her identity and perspective. She started her political journey at 19, interning in the First Lady's office in 1996, and steadily rose through the ranks to become one of Clinton's most trusted aides. Over the years, she held several prominent positions: senior advisor to Senator Clinton, traveling chief of staff during the 2008 presidential campaign, deputy chief of staff at the US State Department, and ultimately vice chair of Hillary for America in 2016. Her final role with Clinton was as chief of staff. Though known for keeping a low profile, Abedin's personal life has drawn attention. She married former Congressman Anthony Weiner in 2010, but their relationship unraveled after multiple sexting scandals, The People reported. The couple separated in 2016 and divorced in 2017. They share a son, Jordan Zain Weiner, born in 2011. She briefly dated actor Bradley Cooper before meeting Alex Soros at a mutual friend's birthday party in 2023. The two got engaged in May 2024 and recently married in a high-profile wedding attended by political heavyweights and celebrities alike.
