On one hand, we have celebrities like Ranveer Singh and Aparshakti Khurana who are usually seen wearing off-beat, zany outfits and then we have John Abraham, whose outfits are quite basic and casual, making it easy even for us to cop. For him, fashion is comfort and it's his holy grail, as he is usually seen donning a basic T-shirt with joggers and he doesn't forgo of his chappals. Now that the Bollywood industry has resumed functioning albeit slowly, keeping the pandemic norms in mind, recently, John's new look caught our eye, simply because of his head-to-toe black outfit and secondly, his sneakers. © Viral Bhayani Before we get into the details of his shoes, let's talk about his ensemble first. © Viral Bhayani Most men dig the black T-shirt and joggers combination as it's a safe bet and doesn't require much work. Here, we see, John, wearing a basic number, paired with track pants by Ecko Unltd. For the uninitiated, John is the co-owner of the brand and hence, you would see him wearing versatile styles from the same brand, often. © Asics In his recent appearance, he seemed to have switched up his style choices a bit and we couldn't help but notice his shoes, which were the main highlight of his outfit- the Gel Contend 4B Running Shoes by Asics. Even though this pair is pretty basic, it offers exceptional cushioning and has a great fit with its rubber outsole. The heel is comfortable and helps with foot encounters during the running sesh. © Asics These are truly affordable as they retail at Rs 3,499 but are currently available on the official website for as low as Rs 1,749. Yes, that affordable! We are so used to seeing celebrities wearing outrageous sneakers that are sometimes worth more than the price of an iPhone. These sneakers, on the other hand, are a great choice and a good bargain as well. © Viral Bhayani To sum the look, John wore a black cap and a black mask. Since he is a trying to ace a monochromatic look here, this one is a pretty cool choice for the airport. In all, it's a stylish way to head out and even though the sneakers may not always be John's first preference, we still wouldn't mind dissecting more such pairs from his wardrobe.

In a world of social media trends and temporary hype, the attention span of human beings is probably at its lowest. Take Coronavirus lockdown, for instance. The first time the government imposed lockdown regulations, every single person was on their toes. But, as months passed, people got bored. We all want to forget the year 2020 like a bad dream, but it isn't a figment of our imagination. The loss of our loved ones is real. The depression of our friends during this crisis time is real. The suffering of countless families who're struggling to put food on the table is real. While some of us have returned to our old routine, many, amid the lack of opportunities, are still scraping for bits and pieces. 17-year-old Bimla Munda was flying high on ambition when she bagged a silver medal at the 34th National Games in 2011. Three years later, she improved her performance with two gold medals at the Akshay Kumar International Karate Championship. In 2015, the Ranchi-born athlete notched up a gold medal at the All India Karate Open Championship. Last year, she ran away with another gold at the Federation Cup organised by All India Karate-Do Federation. मेडल और सर्टिफिकेट को निहारती ये रांची की रहनेवाली विमला मुंडा हैं।सैकड़ों मेडल विमला ने अपने नाम किए हैं और नेशनल गोल्ड मेडलिस्ट भी हैं लेकिन दुर्भाग्य है कि यह प्रतिभा की धनी खिलाड़ी आर्थिक स्थिति खराब होने के कारण हडि़या बेच कर परिवार का ख्याल रख रही हैं।@HemantSorenJMM pic.twitter.com/ejqBkdpaY9 — Sohan singh (@sohansingh05) October 18, 2020 Young Bimla was on a roll and, for her, the world was for the taking. At that time, neither Bimla nor anyone close to her could have possibly predicted what the future had in store for her. Fast-forward to 2020, Bimla, who once carried the baton for Jharkhand in karate championships, is currently selling rice beer in a bid to put food on the table for her family. A commerce graduate, Bimla stays with her 84-year-old maternal grandfathers at Patragonda village in Ranchi's Kanke block. Her parents live in Sagrampur village in the same block. Her 45-year-old father used to work as a daily labourer to provide for six other members of the family, but, owing to his poor health, he hasn't been able to take up any labourer's jobs of late. "I have been living with my grandfather since childhood. My grandfather retired before 2000 when Jharkhand was not separated from Bihar. He gets pension around Rs 6,000 a month but most of his pension amount goes into his medicine," she was quoted as saying by the HT. In a bid to support her family, the Jharkhand karate champion had also started coaching classes to train budding karatekas in February this year. But, the global pandemic, which led to lockdown regulations, handed a critical blow to Bimla as her coaching classes, her only source of income, got shut in March. View the full article

National Award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee has been quite vocal about the flaws of the industry . He has been speaking about the unethical ways of Bollywood and he himself has been at the receiving end of the system that’s obsessed with stars and their glamorous shenanigans. He has proved his mettle through his hard work and he has fought back all the negativity that came his way. He is one of the finest actors we have seen in the industry. He is never bogged down by the idea of playing the smallest of the characters in a film because he believes in making an impact and not the length of the role. In the industry where the idea of being a star has been given importance, Manoj proved that talent can take you far. View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@bajpayee.manoj) In a recent interview with Times Of India, he spoke about how Bollywood is obsessed with the star system and cited the example of exhibitors and distributors prioritizing stars over the content of a film. Here are the three valid points that Manoj shared and they surely serve the purpose of being an eye-opener. 1. He spoke about how the system of Bollywood has damaged the quality of the content that should have been promoted because of its obsession with the starry status. He said, “As far as the star system is concerned, it has done more damage than good to the quality and content. Now the young stars are focusing again on the content.” View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@bajpayee.manoj) 2. He said how even exhibitors and distributors didn’t support the content. It’s no secret that movies with Salman Khan were given extra screens and movies that rode with content were completely ignored. Manoj said that his films too got a ‘step-motherly’ treatment. “When the exhibitors and distributors start concentrating on stars what happens is the quality films and small films start getting step-motherly treatment. My films have faced this,” added the actor. View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@bajpayee.manoj)3. He also hopes that the star system shouldn’t get in the way of the upcoming talent that we are getting to see in the current times. He said, “Whether it is cinema viewing or OTT or TV, people will find their stars. They find their favourites and they become their star. How big those stars will be? Will they be big like the ones we have since COVID-19 came in? I don’t know. I just hope that the star system doesn’t become an obstruction to the new upcoming talents.” We agree with all the points that Manoj has mentioned and things are changing for the better in the pandemic times when we are heavily relying on OTT platforms for our entertainment. With the advent of OTT, we have seen talented actors like Jitendra Kumar, Abhishek Banerjee, and many others ruling the space based on their skill set and not their starry status. On an ending note, we would also like to add that let’s end this obsession with stars and their starry ways and stand up for talent and good content. View the full article

For someone who was discarded by Chelsea early in his career, Mohamed Salah has enjoyed nothing short of record-breaking individual success ever since his arrival at the Anfield in 2017. In the last three years, Salah has established himself as one of the most consistent and threatening forwards who remains key to Liverpool's dominance in club competitions. The Egyptian, for quite obvious reasons, is revered by the Reds and their fans for his contribution to the club's success. But, more recently, his heartfelt gesture for a stranger on the streets of Liverpool earned him plaudits. Mo Salah reportedly saw a group of lads abusing a homeless man so went over, stopped the abuse and told them it could be them one day. He then withdrew £100 from the cash machine and handed it over to the homeless man. What a guy pic.twitter.com/rjPDtPVxVi — Footy Accumulators (@FootyAccums) October 7, 2020 In a CCTV footage, recorded on 28 September, the Liverpool forward was seen pulling up to a petrol station where an individual came to his attention. A homeless man, named David Craig, was being harassed by a group of youngsters who were busy hurling abuses at the poor individual. Coming to Craig's rescue, Salah asked the youth to stop and warned them that they could be in a similar position one day. After aiding the poor man, the 29-year-old went over a cash machine nearby and withdrew £100 before handing it over to Craig. "Mo was every bit as wonderful as he is for Liverpool on the pitch. He is a real-life hero in my eyes and I want to thank him," Craig, who also confirmed the amount of money received by him from Salah, told The Sun. @MoSalah thank you for coming back to check on my boys after Louis KO’d himself trying to get a wave! He loves you so much and the pain went away instantly when you came to give them a hug. A nose reset worth well worth it he said. You are a top man and a true gent! #EgyptianKing pic.twitter.com/wrmHc4vxB9 — Joe Cooper (@joecooper93) August 10, 2019 This isn't the first time when Salah earned praise for his humane gesture. Last year, the two-time EPL Golden Boot winner won over fans after going over to the residence of a young fan to check up on his well-being. The young boy, named Louis, had knocked himself out after chasing Salah's car at Liverpool street. His picture with the youngster had also gone viral on social media. View the full article

Star kids enjoy a ton of limelight and popularity by the virtue of being born to well-known personalities. However, these star kids, for their part, do try to create their own space that is not dominated by their parents' celebrity status. One of the best ways the star kids try to create a name for themselves is by growing their social media presence where people get to see them in a very different light, which is often not shown by the paparazzi. Here are nine such Bollywood star kids who are giving their celebrity parents tough competition on social media. 1. Ananya Panday © Instagram/Ananya Panday Whether you like her as an actor or not, you cannot deny that Ananya has a strong social media presence. With 14.8 million followers, she is pretty active on Instagram and regularly posts snippets of her work and personal life, giving her followers a glimpse into her life. On the other hand, her dad Chunkey Panday has 229k followers on the platform. Just three films old, she has already established herself as a social media star. 2. Aryan & Suhana Khan © Instagram/Suhana Khan Unlike Ananya Pandey, neither of SRK’s children have made their Bollywood debuts yet, and still both of them enjoy a great amount of popularity online. With just 24 posts, Aryan has a following of 1.2 million, while Suhana boasts of 1.1 million followers on her official Instagram account. While there is no comparison between them and King Khan, who has a fan following of whopping 22.7 million, we have to admit that his children’s fandom will probably skyrocket upon their debuts. 3. Babil Khan © Instagram/Babil Khan Babil was launched into the limelight upon his father’s sudden demise. That’s when people flogged to Babil’s Instagram account where he had started posting throwback pictures and private trivia related to his father and their relationship which every Irrfan fan appreciated and wanted more of. Since then, not only Babil’s content, but also his followership has grown and now he has 83k followers on the platform. Though it’s nowhere close to Irrfan’s 749k, we have to admit it’s still a lot given that the guy is still a student of cinema and not a global star like his father..yet. 4. Jhanvi Kapoor © Instagram/Janhvi Kapoor Jhanvi is just two movies old in Bollywood, but her online community of 9.1 million followers on Instagram will tell you that she is already considered to be a future star in the making. While Sridevi had a following of 1.1 million during her lifetime, Jhanvi has grown her fandom leaps and bounds over the last two years. 5. Yashvardhan Ahuja © Instagram/Yashvardhan Ahuja Yashvardhan hasn’t even made his Bollywood debut yet and still the guy already has a strong follower base on his Instagram account. With 29.5k followers, Yashvardhan may not be anywhere close to his father Govinda’s 930k followers, but it’s still noteworthy given that we have hardly seen the guy in public and still, he has managed to carve a place for himself online. 6. Meezan & Alaviaa Jaaferi © Instagram/Meezaan Jafferi Meezan who made his debut in 2019 with Malaal may not have been able to deliver a blockbuster at the box office the first time, but he surely enjoys a lot of popularity online. However, with 109k followers on Instagram, he is still far behind his younger sister Alaviaa who is much of a social celebrity herself with 156k followers on her account. Now, although Javed Jaaferi boasts of 904.4k followers on Twitter, which is a lot more than his kids, it may not be wrong to presume that they will catch up to him soon over the next few years. 7. Aaliyah Kashyap © Instagram/Aaliyah Kashyap Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah who is said to be presently studying at Chapman University in Southern California, USA has turned out to be quite the social media celeb with 159k followers on her Instagram account. While Anurag currently boasts of 1 million followers on his official account, we can expect Aaliyah to match the number soon when she becomes a Bollywood celebrity after her graduation.

He made his Bollywood debut with Rajkumar Santoshi's Barsaat in 1995. While he did taste success, things didn’t work out the way he was planning. His stardom fizzled out when other actors started showcasing their talent and soon enough, he disappeared from mainstream cinema. Yes, we are talking about Bobby Deol. © Shree Krishna International From playing the main lead in a movie to being just a supporting actor in multi-starrer movies, he saw a downfall in his career, and his concept of stardom had taken a backseat. © Netflix But things do change and the lost stardom seems to have returned for Bobby. With the phenomenal success of Class of 83 and Aashram, he has shown that he's still got it and has the ability to attract the audience. View this post on InstagramJapnaam🙏 #AashramA post shared by (@iambobbydeol) In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, he gave three sensible statements about the changing concept of stardom that stemmed from his own experience. 1. For him, no one can learn much from a particular concept of success and that you learn from your own ups and downs. He said: “It’s been a learning experience. You learn the most from your downs when you are down and out. Success doesn’t teach you much. If you learn this, you’ll always be back with a bang. That’s what I went through in my life — I went through a lull for three years, then came out of that. I decided I have to achieve things, and that the next 25 years are hopefully more exciting than the past 25.” View this post on InstagramTrusting the magic of new beginnings... #ThrowbackThursday #Day1 on the sets of #ClassOf83! 1 day to go!!! #TBTA post shared by (@iambobbydeol) 2. Speaking about how the new concept of stardom is influenced by social media and is unlike the older days, he said: “With time, it has become so much faster, there’s so much competition, so much social media influence. The pace was slower. Stardom had a different flavour to it. In those days, if you got a glimpse of an actor, that was the most amazing moment of your day and life. That was the excitement of being a star. Now, being a star is that you’ve to speak about yourself all the time, you have to make yourself be seen. The new generation has evolved. You have to move with the times.” View this post on InstagramSharing something exciting tomorrow... Stay tuned!!A post shared by (@iambobbydeol) 3. He also spoke about how the newer definition of stardom is to do with your availability on social media. He said: “You’ve to stay connected with your fans, and the easiest way is through social media. It really helps to communicate. My kids keep saying ‘Papa, post more pictures on social media’. It’s not that easy, I am a little old-fashioned when it comes to this, I’m trying to do the best I can.” © Instagram/Bobby Deol Well, clearly, Bobby has made a grand comeback and no one could be happier than his fans. Here is hoping we get to see more of his brilliance on-screen. Do you agree with Bobby that actors have to work harder now to keep their fans sated? Let us know in the comments. View the full article
