  • Why are people hating on Aishwarya Rai’s Cannes 2024 look?

    Why are people hating on Aishwarya Rai’s Cannes 2024 look?

    The Cannes Film Festival is famous for the movies that premiere there, and for the glamorous gowns and high fashion that stars appear in on the red carpet. However, Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s latest red carpet appearance has received mixed reactions from fashion critics and fans.

    Aishwarya wore a black gown adorned with intricate golden patterns, designed by Indian designer Falguni Shane Peacock. The dress, meant to capture attention, had several unique elements that sparked different opinions.
    The gown combined a fitted black base with large gold appliqués, creating a strong contrast that overwhelmed the dress instead of making a big statement. Adding to the complexity were the large white sleeves that billowed around her shoulders, making her look less flattering.

    While puff sleeves can add a touch of Renaissance charm, in Aishwarya’s dress, they made the overall look too heavy. The gold details could have worked well without the sleeves, but instead of adding elegance, they distracted from the harmony and shape of the dress.
    Adding to the drama was the train of Aishwarya’s dress, covered in intricate gold and white details. While it was meant to make a statement, the busy design of the train took away from the elegance usually expected at Cannes. She paired the gown with large gold hoop earrings, which, although meant to match the dress, added to the overall busy look.

    Despite the mixed opinions, Aishwarya Rai’s fashion choices always capture global attention. As one of Bollywood’s most iconic stars, her red carpet appearances are always eagerly anticipated and widely discussed. Her bold choice at the 77th Cannes Film Festival may not have pleased everyone, but it certainly kept all eyes on her.

    Sherry Rehman listed among ‘100 most influential people of 2023’

    Time magazine on Thursday revealed its list of the 100 most influential people of 2023 with Minister for Climate Change Senator Sherry Rehman included in it.

    Time’s list of the most influential people is curated by its editors while individuals on the list are nominated by previous honorees, as well as the magazine’s writing staff.

    “As Pakistan’s Minister for Climate Change, she gave a voice to those who had lost everything to the floods. Through impassioned speeches and tireless engagement in negotiations, she convinced many of the delegates that the blatant injustice must come to an end. COP27 ended with a historic decision—the world community agreed for the first time to establish new loss and damage funding arrangements to support the most vulnerable countries. This is a big step towards climate justice, but we still have a long way to go. We will need more people like Sherry Rehman along the way,” writes Times about Sherry.

    “Omg thank you @peterfrankopan! Just saw this. Honoured to be on this list”, said Sherry on Twitter while reacting to receiving the honour.

  • Police arrest five people for ‘sacrificing’ woman in Indian temple

    Indian police have arrested five men accused of conducting a human sacrifice in a temple in Assam. In 2019, the headless body of a woman was found in Guwahati, leading to an investigation.

    Shanti Shaw, 64, was beheaded with a machete at the temple as an “offering” to the temple goddess, police said.

    “The five people planned the killing of the woman,” police commissioner Diganta Barah said while talking to the media on Tuesday. “A total of 12 people took part,” he added.

    He continued by saying, “During investigation, we found this was a case of human sacrifice to please Maa Kamakhya (a Hindu goddess)”. The commissioner added that the alleged ringleader, Pradeep Pathak, 52, had orchestrated the killing as part of a religious rite to mark the anniversary of his brother’s death.

    “The accused apparently believed that the sacrifice would appease the soul of the deceased,” he added.

    Between 2014 and 2021, 103 instances of human sacrifice were reported to India’s National Crime Records Bureau.

  • Man fakes own death to see how many people will attend his funeral

    Baltazar Lemos, 60, faked his death, complete with an announcement on social media and then organised a fake funeral for his family and friends to see who would show up.

    Lemos, who regularly officiates funerals, recalled being saddened after presiding over a service for someone with just two people there as opposed to those where hundreds were present.

  • Cold snap kills least 160 people in Afghanistan

    Cold snap kills least 160 people in Afghanistan

    Afghan authorities have reported on Thursday that more than 160 people have died this month from the cold, as the country goes through the most severe winter season in more than a decade.

    Villagers in the country have spoken of their inability to pay for fuel to heat their houses in well-below-freezing conditions.

    “162 people have died due to cold weather since January 10 until now,” said Shafiullah Rahimi, a spokesperson for the Minister of Disaster Management.

    Temperatures have dipped to as low as -34 degrees Celsius (-29.2 degrees Fahrenheit).

    Even in the early days of winter, medical specialists noticed a significant increase in the number of young children suffering from severe pneumonia and other respiratory ailments. The ailments are partially attributable to rising poverty, which hinders individuals from appropriately heating their houses.
