Saif Ali Khan and director Priyadarshan are collaborating for the first time on the upcoming action thriller Haiwaan, slated to release on September 11, 2026. With Akshay Kumar playing the co-lead alongside Saif, the director has spilled the beans on working with the latter for the first time. Speaking about collaborating with Saif Ali Khan, in a conversation with Pinkvilla, the director was asked how the actor had approached the character, especially while playing a visually challenged person. Priyadarshan said, “I found him as a very mature child because he has a lot of questions every time, and of course every actor has the right but the question; the moment it is answered, he just obeys you. After two days, I found that there was no question, so I asked him in the morning, ‘Any questions?’ He said, ‘No sir, now I know what you want to shoot.’ So that actually builds our confidence with each other, and that is the way it went on.” The filmmaker added, “Saif is too committed.

Bharat Chauhan on collaborating with Seedhe Maut and his seven-album plan: ‘Writing is the soul of a song’ | Interview

Published by Parlour News

Singer-songwriter Bharat Chauhan has never been interested in making music that tells people what they want to hear. His songs have always come from a more personal place, shaped by love, loss, memory and an enduring connection with Urdu poetry and ghazals. From Shayar and Tu Hoti Toh to Vasl, Ghar and his 2022 album Qurbat, Bharat has built a musical world that feels intimate without trying too hard to be understood. His latest album, Uns, released on July 21, 2026, takes that honesty further. The 12-track album moves through affection, longing and relationships before gradually descending into grief, ending with Meri Maaye, a deeply personal conversation with his mother. Sonically, it also marks a shift for Bharat. Bharat Chauhan talks about new album Uns, working with rapper duo Seedhe Maut and why he chooses authenticity over audience expectations, Unlike his earlier, largely acoustic work, Uns is fuller, heavier and more band-driven.The album is also the second chapter of a larger seven-album journey Bharat has imagined for himself, with each record documenting a different phase …

The story behind Wimbledon’s collaboration with a 120-year-old Delhi kulfi shop

Published by Webster

Wimbledon is known for its traditions. From the all-white dress code to the famous strawberries and cream, the tournament has carefully preserved its identity for more than a century. But this year, one of its oldest traditions received an Indian touch. The All England Lawn Tennis Club partnered with Delhi’s 120-year-old Kuremal Mohanlal Kulfi Wale to launch a limited-edition Strawberries and Cream Kulfi, bringing together one of Britain’s most iconic sporting traditions and one of Old Delhi’s most famous dessert brands. The collaboration is part of Wimbledon’s effort to connect with its growing Indian audience by giving one of its most famous traditions a local flavour.

In 1940, the family opened its first permanent shop, which still operates today. Over the years, the brand became famous for its stuffed fruit kulfis. Instead of simply mixing fruit pulp with milk, the shop hollows …
