    While talking about special talents, Gadot also revealed that The Rock’s dancing skills surprised her, “He’s an amazing dancer. He has such light feet. No, I’m telling you. I was like, ‘Okay, I guess the wrestling days, He’s really good with choreography.”

It’s also a wild juxtaposition from his kind of persona as this ultra-macho kind of overly, you know, everything sort of bigger is better.

  • ‘Badtameez’: Nadia Hussain breaks silence on spat with Nabila, shares shocking details

    Actor and model Nadia Hussain appeared on Waseem Badami’s show Har Lamha Purjosh for the Masoomana Sawal segment.

    On being asked about her spat with the grooming mogul, Nabila, the Chupke Chupke diva explained the entire controversy to the host.

    She stated that the problem was that Nabila blocked me after my reply and hence the communication stopped, hence I had to take it in the public domain. “Usne mujhe neecha dikhana chaha or badtamizi ki.” (She misbehaved with me and wanted to degrade me.)

    She also confessed that Nabila has still not unblocked her.

    In May 2021, she shared a screenshot of Nabila’s message to her in which she has accused Nadia of copying the idea for her newly launched ‘Go makeup Palette,’ from Nabila’s ‘Zero makeup palette’.

    The Benaam star also accused Nabila of blocking her on WhatsApp and Instagram. The screenshot of Nabila’s text stated, “Don’t you have brain of your own?”

    “For someone of Nabila’s repute, to stoop so low and send me such an underhanded message on the launch of my GO makeup palette is just beyond me,” wrote Nadia.

    She went on to clarify that how her product is different from Nabila’s product, “My item may be similar but surely the concept is totally different, she has no copyright on such a design, many many international brands have such similar travel makeup kits and also that my product itself offers much much more in comparison to her zero makeup kit.”

    The Jalan diva also attached screen recording of her pervious conversation with Nabila to prove the authenticity of her claims.

     She continued, “Surely my GO makeup palette rocks and surely it has rocked her boat.”

    ‘That’s a true friend!’: Shaniera reacts to Jemima Khan split with ‘The Crown’

    Environmentalist activist and former cricketer Wasim Akram’s wife Shaniera Akram reacted to the news about Lady Diana’s close friend Jemima Goldsmith leaving the English Netflix show ‘The Crown’.

    She tweeted: “Now that’s a true friend!”

    Goldsmith told The Sunday Times that she pulled out after Diana’s story was not handled “as respectfully or compassionately” as she had hoped.

    “It was really important to me that the final years of my friend’s life be portrayed accurately and with compassion, as has not always happened in the past,” she added.

    “In 2019, Peter Morgan asked me to co-write on the fifth series of ‘The Crown’, particularly those episodes which concerned Princess Diana’s last years before she died,” she said. “After a great deal of thought, having never spoken publicly about any of this before, I decided to contribute.”

    “I requested that all my contributions be removed from the series and I declined a credit,” Jemima told the British Newspaper.

    On the contrary, a spokesperson for ‘The Crown’ claimed that Jemima has never been contacted as a writer on the series.

    “Jemima Khan has been a friend, fan and a vocal public supporter of ‘The Crown’ since season one. She has been part of a wide network of well-informed and varied sources who have provided extensive background information to our writers and research team, providing context for the drama that is ‘The Crown’,” he added.

    Australian Actor Elizabeth Debicki is set to play Lady Diana in the next series which is expected to premiere in November 2022.
