Dia Mirza reveals Anil Kapoor was ‘responsible for convincing’ her to do films: He said ‘you’d be beautiful on screen’

Published by Parlour News

This year Dia Mirza Rekhi marks 25 years into films, and she does it with one of the busiest phases of her career. She recently had the release of Ikka with actors Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna, a cameo opposite actor Anil Kapoor in Alia Bhatt and Sharvari-starrer Alpha and now even a web series Operation Safed Sagar in the offing, which releases next month. While she gushes on the mention of the surge of work coming her way, it takes her back to the beginning of when it all began for her and reveals how it was Anil Kapoor who was actually responsible for her cinematic journey. Dia Mirza and Anil Kapoor (Photos: Instagram) “Anil Kapoor was responsible for convincing me to become a part of films,” the 44-year-old reveals, adding, “He met me right after my Asia Pacific pageant. He and Anupam Kher were very keen that I do the film that they were working on, and they were the ones who helped me get my first film. So, in a way, for …

Giorgia Meloni has revisited her 2023 trip to India in a new book. The Italian Prime Minister shared a light-hearted anecdote about the warm reception she received in New Delhi, where her posters lined the streets during her arrival and departure. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni revisits 2023 India trip, shares joke about her popularity in Delhi (AP) The account appears in the book ‘Giorgia’s Vision’, written from her conversations with journalist Alessandro Sallusti, in which she describes how the visuals left such a strong impression that her deputy, Antonio Tajani, who accompanied her, joked about her popularity translating into votes, according to the excerpts cited in a PTI news agency report. “When I arrived, there was a poster with my face and the word ‘Welcome’ every few feet along the road. When I left, the posters showed the same image, but now read ‘Thank you for visiting’. “My colleague Antonio Tajani, who was with me, joked: ‘With all these posters, if you ran for the New Delhi constituency, you’d get a million votes’,” says …

3 min readApr 7, 2026 12:04 PM IST With two losses in as many matches so far in IPL 2026, Ajinkya Rahane-led Kolkata Knight Riders have not had the best of starts to the season. With the threat of rain looming large in Kolkata prior to the team’s match against Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens on Monday evening, Rahane opted to bat first after winning the toss. With clouds hanging over the stadium and rain looking inevitable, captains often choose to field first so that the target is known at the end of the match. However, Rahane chose to bat first. Kolkata Knight Riders lost two wickets for 25 runs in 3.4 overs — both scalps being picked by Punjab pacer Xavier Bartlett in the second over before heavy rains arrived. Rahane’s decision could have backfired had the match restarted after the rain break. While the match was eventually called off with rain ensuring no further play, Rahane’s decision to bat first in such conditions drew criticism from the likes of former India captain and …

3 min readMar 14, 2026 01:49 PM IST Abhishek Sharma’s 2026 T20 World Cup campaign had a bit of everything. He came into the tournament on the back of some red-hot form and then but a stomach infection that landed him in the hospital early in the tournament wreaked havoc on his performances in the next few games. Abhishek ended up not scoring a single run in the group stage and got scores of 15, 55, 10 and nine in the Super Eights and semifinal. However, Abhishek then played a crucial role in India’s win in the final by scoring 52 in 21 balls as part of a 98-run opening stand with Sanju Samson that came in just 7.1 overs. Former Australia wicketkeeper-batter Brad Haddin has said that Abhishek is the kind of player you want in the big moments. “I’m a huge fan of Abhishek, and there was a lot of talk about his position throughout the tournament,” Haddin, who was an integral part of Australia’s 2015 World Cup-winning squad, said on the Willow …

4 min readUpdated: Feb 24, 2026 12:58 PM IST Former Australia captain Michael Clarke believes India remain the best T20 side in the world, even though their loss to South Africa has shifted the dynamic of the ongoing T20 World Cup. Despite India’s defeat to South Africa, Clarke made it clear that India remains the benchmark in the shortest format of the game. “For South Africa to beat the favorites in their own backyard—wow!, that’s a huge game for them and a huge victory. Now pressure is on this Indian team, which is going to be great to see. To me, they’re still the best team; they’re the best T20 team in the world playing in conditions they know so well. So I’m still backing them to make the final, but things change now after losing that game to South Africa,” Clarke said on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast. Clarke also mapped out India’s path ahead, saying: “You definitely expect them to beat Zimbabwe—and again, no disrespect to Zimbabwe, they deserve to be in the Super …

Jennifer Lopez is in her unhinged, unbothered era. The pop star gave it back to trolls who are always criticizing her outfit choices. She was performing at the Up All Night Live in Las Vegas residency, when the 56-year-old singer-actor stopped her performance to address criticisms like, “Why is she always dressed that way? Why don’t she dress her age? Why is she always naked?” “And I say, ‘If you had this body, you’d be naked too,’” said Lopez, to a huge round of cheers from the live audience, as she went back to performing her bangers. Even at the Up All Night Live concert, Lopez donned several costumes that can be conventionally considered rather risqué. She was wearing a glittery green body suit with a fringed bottom when she admitted she laughs off the potshots aimed at her wardrobe.

‘Rishabh Pant seemed extremely disturbed, not the captain you’d want…’: Aakash Chopra on LSG skipper’s IPL 2025 season | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Nothing has quite clicked for Rishabh Pant in his maiden IPL season with the Lucknow Super Giants. With the weight of a record Rs 27 crore signing hanging over his head, Pant has struggled to juggle captaincy and his own performances with the bat in the IPL 2025 season. Pant’s lacklustre season has seen him aggregate only 128 runs with a solitary fifty. The southpaw’s strike rate stands at a staggering low at 99.22 in 10 innings. Pant’s scoring rate is the slowest of all the batters who have crossed 100 runs thus far. With wavering results, Pant has not been the best of leaders on the field either, according to former India opener Aakash Chopra who has criticised the LSG skipper’s animated gestures. With LSG remaining in Playoffs contention with three games to go, Chopra reminded that Pant will undoubtedly be under scrutiny for remainder of the league-stage, starting with Monday’s home fixture against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
