<p>Celebrity weddings are no less than festivals in India. From couture outfits and tightly guarded ceremonies, there is a lot of excitement and curiosity surrounding every detail.

"With weddings like the celebration of Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya’s, planning becomes extremely important. A lot happens quietly behind the scenes. We spend time understanding the family, the flow of events, and the kind of moments that matter most to them," he told WION.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"There is also an added layer of privacy and discipline when you are working on high-profile weddings.

<h2>Non-disclosure agreements at weddings</h2><p>Privacy is one of the major concerns at celebrity weddings. "Every team member signs a proper NDA and contract before being part of such weddings. Beyond the legal side, we focus a lot on building a sense of responsibility within the team," he revealed. "Over time, we also become mindful of clear boundaries around what can be shared, when it can be shared, and what needs to remain private. When you are working with public figures, respecting that privacy becomes a natural part of the work."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/javed-akhtar-attends-grand-evening-of-57th-shankar-shad-mushaira-hails-young-poets-1775730077746"><strong>Javed Akhtar attends 57th Shankar Shad Mushaira, hails young poets</strong></a></p><h2>Patel on the evolution of wedding storytelling</h2><p>According to him, Luxury wedding photography in India has evolved significantly over the years. Patel feels "the biggest shift we’ve seen is towards authenticity with aesthetics. A few years ago, weddings were more about heavily posed, staged visuals. Today, couples still want something beautiful and editorial, but they also want it to feel real." Another big shift is "personalisation." Patel shares that "Every wedding is becoming very unique to the couple, from themes to storytelling styles. Technology is also playing a big role now." He believes "there’s a strong return to roots. People are embracing Indian traditions. So compared to earlier, I would say weddings today are less about showing off and more about expressing who you really are."</p><p><br>When asked about the experience while shooting the wedding of Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya's wedding, he said, "It was a very warm and memorable experience for our team. Sometimes weddings can feel very structured because of the scale or the number of events, but this celebration had a very natural energy."</p><p>He further added that " the family and friends were fully present in the moment, which makes a big difference for photographers because the emotions become very real and spontaneous."</p><h2>What lies ahead</h2><p>As India’s luxury wedding industry continues to grow, Patel feels "we’re entering a very exciting phase for the industry with more focus on premium, experience-driven celebrations and destination weddings becoming bigger every year. And photography is naturally evolving along with that. Going forward, I feel there will be three very strong shifts."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/world-health-day-7-bollywood-s-icons-who-believe-in-minimal-wellness-to-stay-fit-1775556619814"><strong>World Health Day: Bollywood’s icons who believe in minimal wellness to stay fit</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"The first is deep personalisation. Couples don’t want generic wedding albums anymore. They want something that feels like them," he further added. And next is "technology."</p><p>Patel believes that the "use of drones, AI-assisted workflows" will increase. "But interestingly, even with all this tech, the demand for real, human emotion is only increasing."</p><p><br>"And the third is global exposure. Indian weddings are no longer just Indian events. They are becoming global experiences. More destination weddings, more international collaborations, and more global attention."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"So photographers will have to think and work at an international level while still staying rooted in our culture. At the end of it, I feel the future is not about bigger cameras or bigger productions, it’s about being more sensitive, more aware, and more honest in how we capture people. Because trends will keep changing, but emotions won’t."<br>&nbsp;</p>

The feeling of nostalgia certainly holds great importance for us in terms of emotions. The house of one’s parents is always an indication of that beautiful time of life when we were happy and carefree

Many of us can relate to the phenomenon of stepping into our parents’ houses and immediately feeling at ease. Our shoulders relax, the voices in our heads fade away, and an unspoken feeling of coziness takes hold. It doesn’t matter that the furniture is out-of-date or that the decorations don’t measure up to Pinterest standards or that the layout isn’t anything fancy — there’s something about their house that just feels warm in a way our meticulously designed homes rarely can. Why? Surprisingly, the reason has very little to do with interior decorating. Slowly-Built Homes The house you grew up in didn’t come together in just a few days; it was crafted through many years, with bits and pieces accumulating one at a time. The scratch on the dining room table, the curtains which were never replaced, the chair that was patched up instead of being discarded – all of these little things have stories to tell. They make the place feel full of history and warmth in ways that no sales floor ever could. On the other hand, most of us construct our own living spaces in a rush. We move into a new flat, buy furniture from the same catalogue, and get everything “in order” as fast as we possibly can. That could be pretty good, but there is something usually intangible that it misses. The feeling of nostalgia certainly holds great importance for us in terms of emotions. The house of one’s parents is always an indication of that beautiful time of life when we were happy and carefree. Our personal houses, on the contrary, are usually connected to stresses related to the EMI, working schedules, and never-ending to-do lists. However, regardless of the beauty of our home, our minds manage to turn it into something different due to the presence of all kinds of thoughts and worries. Imperfections Are Part of Life Parents' houses are almost never perfect – but it is what makes them special. The not always matching colors of pillows, unappealing walls that are waiting for repainting, and, generally, the coziness of living in such an imperfect place are the essence of such spaces. These days, we live under the illusion that our home should also be perfect. However, it seems that social media and various ideas for decoration take all the joy and comfort out of it. “The design of homes has changed quite a bit through time.

It is because there is no personal element involved anymore,” Raghunandan Saraf, Founder of Saraf Furniture, shared. The Comforts of Routine There is one thing more that should be pointed out regarding the process of life in an established family. Routines have always been a part of families, which have a specific time for meals, for sleeping, and for everything else throughout their day. Eventually, it becomes the defining quality of a family’s home. A young family, by contrast, is the embodiment of unpredictability – no fixed routines, very late hours, and a constantly changing outlook on things. Even a tasteful family house fails to hide its instability. It’s the People that Make a Home Above all else, a home is created by the people who reside within its walls. The home of the parents has many moments of connection, whether over a cup of tea, around the table, or even when there is silence just being together. In fact, even the silence in a place like this will be warm, simply because it is shared. There are times when living alone makes our own space more emotionally empty, although still beautiful. Creating Your Own Comfort The good thing about comfort is that it doesn't depend on the cost and design of the house, it depends on your intention to create a place of peace. It requires some time, some patience and a completely different approach. Allow yourself and your space to develop, establish your own rituals to make your life more balanced. Put some personal stuff in your living space instead of beautiful things. Focus on your feelings and not on the image of your rooms. Most importantly, really live there. What makes the house of your parents so comfortable? It simply has a lot of history behind it. You probably won't be able to create that at once – but you can do it in your own way in the course of time. Not the most beautiful home. But definitely the most comfortable for you.

Why your parents' home always feels more comfortable than your own

<p>Udaipur is the land of lakes and mountains. No better way to enjoy Udaipur than to spectate it from a height. Sunset and Co offers the best views of the city and you can enjoy some of the best food in the city here. With a menu curated by chef Akash Rajput himself, Sunset and Co caters to the best evenings in the city. Fusion food lies waiting for travellers who visit the city and look for stunning views and food to enjoy. Located at the rooftop of Hotel Raj Kuber in Udaipur, the restaurant offers views like no other.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hotel Raj Kuber has turned itself into a major dining hub in town. The Polo Chamber is another leading bar designed like a polo chamber for horse lovers. With leather interiors and paintings related to horses, saddles for decor as you enter, you feel teleported to Britain in the 1950’s. The bar vibe adds to the modern elegance of late night evening parties and occasional DJ events curated by the owners carefully.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just the corner away from The Polo Chamber is the Old Rose Cafe, offering expansive views of the city again. The owner Bhanu Pratap Singh Rathore compares Udaipur to Paris and highlights the need to have lakeside restaurants like those in Avenue Des Champs Élysées in Paris. A visionary indeed.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While Udaipur does not seem like the first place which comes to mind when one thinks of food, it has certainly made its way up the culinary map of India and gained a reputation for serving great taste citywide.

I stayed back an extra day to try out the local restaurants.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another interesting facet of Udaipur’s food scene is the rise in tasting menus in the city. Syah is leading the tasting menu culinary scene and the restaurant uses active fresh ingredients found locally.

Though it’s located around 30 minutes away from the city center, the experience of dining here makes the travel worth it.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another spot I truly loved in Udaipur is Nyoto.

<p>Summer has arrived in India, and so has the higher risk of skin damage. With the rising temperature, it becomes inevitable to go out without sunscreen.

Are you using sunscreen right? Experts weigh in on common concerns

<p>Bengal takes its food and politics seriously. Ahead of the Assembly elections in West Bengal, Trinamool Congress, the ruling party of the state, took a jibe at Union Home Minister Amit Shah, which had a culinary twist. Shah has announced he will be in the state to campaign for the BJP for the next 15 days. Soon after, TMC took its official X page and welcomed the minister with a tongue-in-cheek response. The TMC posted a message on X that quickly grabbed attention for its mix of wit and sarcasm.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The post on X read as, “.@AmitShah has announced his decision to spend 15 days in Bengal. Good. Bengal welcomes tourists with open arms. Stay for as long as you like. And do not miss out on some of our finest delicacies. We highly recommend: Muri Ghonto, Pabda Macher Jhal, Ilish Bhapa, Chingri Malai Curry, Bhetki Paturi, Kosha Mangsho"</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>What may seem like harmless banter on the surface, the post highlights a deep political clash between the BJP and TMC. The post also highlights Bengal’s cultural heritage, which TMC claims will get tarnished if the BJP comes to power. BJP is known to endorse vegetarian food, especially during festivals, and the Bengali population primarily are fish eaters. In this election campaign, TMC leaders have accused the BJP of encouraging policies that could restrict non-vegetarian food practices, an allegation that has added heat to the campaign.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Politics aside, the dishes named by TMC are truly delicious items made for generations across Bengali households<strong>. Here is a breakdown of the listed items.</strong></p><h2>Muri Ghonto</h2><p>Traditional dish comprising Gobindobhog rice cooked with fried fish head (usually Rohu or Katla) and spices such as cumin, turmeric, and garam masala. Often described as a thick, fragrant fish-rice mash, it is a delicacy from Bengal and best served with a plate of steamed rice.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Pabda Macher Jhal</h2><p>Pabda fish is also known as Pabo Catfish or Butter fish and is the star ingredient of this dish. It’s a simple curry that includes fried Pabda fish in a light gravy of turmeric, red chilli powder and nigella seeds. Add in a few slices of potatoes and a bit of ginger paste, and later garnish with coriander leaves, and voila! you have a fish curry that is rich in nutrients, high on taste and light on the stomach.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Ilish Bhapa</h2><p>Bengal’s devoured fish, Hilsa, remains a household favourite for generations. Bhapa Ilish is basically steaming Hilsa, but in a thick paste of mustard, turmeric and yoghurt. Add salt and slit green chillies, marinate the fish pieces with the thick paste and then steam in a tiffin box.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Ilish Bhapa

<p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Chingri Malai Curry</h2><p>Chingri or Prawn is another favourite among Bengalis. The dish is another classic in the Bengal culinary menu card. Prawns are cooked in coconut milk, with a dash of garam masala over them. Subtle flavour of the coconut infused with Prawn’s distinct taste makes this dish one of a kind. Best eaten with steamed rice.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Bhetki Paturi</h2><p>The classic Bengali delicacy features boneless Barramundi (Bhetki) fish fillets marinated in a pungent mustard-coconut paste, wrapped in banana leaves, and slow-cooked or steamed until tender. It is known for its delicate, smoky flavour, typically served with steamed rice, and is a popular festive dish.</p><h2>Kosha Mangsho</h2><p>No celebration in Bengal is complete without a serving of Kosha Mangsho. Slow-cooked mutton curry is known for its deep, dark brown colour, thick gravy, and tender, melt-in-the-mouth texture. It is a "dry-fried" dish (bhuna/kosha) featuring marinated mutton cooked on low heat with caramelised onions and aromatic spices. Tastes best with Luchi (The Bengali version of Puris).</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

The political temperature in West Bengal has shifted from the streets to the dinner plate it seems. As Union Home Minister Amit Shah kicks off a 15-day campaign for the 2026 Assembly Elections, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has greeted him not with a protest, but with a 'Must-Eat' menu.

<p>In a landmark moment for India’s live entertainment industry and the global electronic dance music ecosystem, Sunburn, Asia’s largest electronic dance music platform, today announced its foray into Europe with the launch of Sunburn Europe Croatia Sail Week 2026, in partnership with The Playmaker Group.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Set against the stunning backdrop of the Adriatic Sea this July, the debut edition will unfold as a week-long, multi-destination festival residency, coinciding with Croatia’s globally renowned Yacht Week, marking a significant shift in how dance music experiences are curated and consumed.<br><br>Registration for Sunburn Europe Croatia Sail Week 2026 are open.&nbsp;<br><br>Following its recently announced expansion into Abu Dhabi, this move positions 2026 as a pivotal year in Sunburn’s international growth, accelerating its evolution from a dominant regional festival into a globally relevant, culturally exportable brand. Over nearly two decades, Sunburn has shaped electronic music culture across Asia, building one of the region’s most recognisable platforms and fan communities.<br><br>Sunburn’s Europe debut taps into the fast-growing global phenomenon of jet-set tourism, a growing movement of culturally attuned, experience-led travellers who are increasingly choosing destinations based on curated entertainment, social energy and immersive storytelling rather than just location. As electronic music continues to expand globally, festivals are evolving into destination-driven formats where travel and culture are as integral as the line-up. Croatia, with its established reputation as a hub for music tourism and its ecosystem of beach clubs, historic venues and island circuits, offers a natural stage for this evolution. In bringing together premium travel, curated community and high-energy programming, Sunburn positions itself at the intersection of music tourism and lifestyle, aligning with some of the world’s most progressive festival formats while introducing a distinctly Indian-born perspective to the global stage.<br><br>Speaking on the announcement, Karan Singh, CEO, Sunburn, said, “Sunburn was built on the passion of its community and for nearly two decades now, that has been at the heart of everything we’ve created, but the way they experience music today has fundamentally evolved. They’re no longer just showing up for a festival, they’re travelling for it, seeking deeper, more immersive experiences that bring together music, culture and connection. With Sunburn Europe Croatia Sail Week 2026, we’re responding to that shift by creating a format where the journey itself becomes the festival: across destinations, on the water and through shared moments that go far beyond a single stage. As we take our first step into Europe, it’s also an opportunity to take a homegrown brand to the global stage in a way that feels both authentic and future-facing.”<br><br>The festival not only charts a path through Croatia’s most iconic coastal destinations, but also places the country’s natural beauty and cultural landmarks at the centre of the experience, reinforcing its position as a premier Mediterranean hub for high-value, experience-led tourism.</p>

<p>The experience begins with yacht boarding in Split and Trogir, unfolding into a sunset opening at the historic Kamerlengo Fortress, where electronic music meets centuries-old stone walls. From there, the rhythm shifts to the sunlit shores of Bol, where beachside sessions at Zlatni Rat transition seamlessly into high-energy, open-air nightlife. At Stari Grad, the format reaches one of its most defining expressions with a signature raft party, a floating arena formed in open water, where yachts converge and the sea itself becomes the dancefloor, dissolving the boundaries between stage and crowd in an immersive, communal setting.<br><br>Guy Bottomley, Managing Director, The Bucketlust, said, “The on-water experience will be delivered in partnership with The Bucketlust, a leading operator of curated yacht-based travel experiences, bringing proven expertise in delivering premium, ‘floating festival’ sailing events across Europe.”<br><br>Hvar anchors the journey with its unmistakable duality, equal parts indulgence and intensity. From iconic beachside gatherings to sunset dining, curated wine experiences and late-night sessions, the island unfolds as a seamless continuum of sound, culture and social energy. In Vis, the experience turns more elemental. Guests move through the luminous stillness of the Blue Cave before transitioning into one of the festival’s most striking moments, a night at Fort George, where a historic fortress is transformed into a high-energy electronic venue overlooking the Adriatic. The closing stretch softens into a slower, more reflective rhythm, with secluded beaches, hidden coves and open horizons giving way to a final sunset set as the fleet returns.<br><br>Throughout, music remains constant but never static, a curated blend of house, techno and commercial EDM delivered by an international roster of artists, flowing seamlessly from sunrise into after-hours. Without a singular fixed stage, the environment itself becomes part of the performance, with shifting coastlines, open water and historic structures shaping an experience that is as much about movement and place as it is about sound.<br><br>As Sunburn approaches its 20th anniversary, its international foray signals a broader shift - one where Indian live entertainment platforms are no longer just participating in global culture, but actively shaping it.<br><br>Tickets for the Sunburn Europe Croatia Sail Week 2026 will be available soon on BookMyShow.&nbsp;</p>

Follows recently announced expansion into UAE with Sunburn Festival Abu Dhabi 2026, cementing this year as Sunburn’s most aggressive global growth phase  

In a landmark moment for India’s live entertainment industry and the global electronic dance music ecosystem, Sunburn, Asia’s largest electronic dance music platform, today announced its foray into Europe with the launch of Sunburn Europe Croatia Sail Week 2026, in partnership with The Playmaker Group. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Adriatic Sea this July, the debut edition will unfold as a week-long, multi-destination festival residency, coinciding with Croatia’s globally renowned Yacht Week, marking a significant shift in how dance music experiences are curated and consumed. Registration for Sunburn Europe Croatia Sail Week 2026 are open. Following its recently announced expansion into Abu Dhabi, this move positions 2026 as a pivotal year in Sunburn’s international growth, accelerating its evolution from a dominant regional festival into a globally relevant, culturally exportable brand. Over nearly two decades, Sunburn has shaped electronic music culture across Asia, building one of the region’s most recognisable platforms and fan communities. Sunburn’s Europe debut taps into the fast-growing global phenomenon of jet-set tourism, a growing movement of culturally attuned, experience-led travellers who are increasingly choosing destinations based on curated entertainment, social energy and immersive storytelling rather than just location. As electronic music continues to expand globally, festivals are evolving into destination-driven formats where travel and culture are as integral as the line-up. Croatia, with its established reputation as a hub for music tourism and its ecosystem of beach clubs, historic venues and island circuits, offers a natural stage for this evolution. In bringing together premium travel, curated community and high-energy programming, Sunburn positions itself at the intersection of music tourism and lifestyle, aligning with some of the world’s most progressive festival formats while introducing a distinctly Indian-born perspective to the global stage. Speaking on the announcement, Karan Singh, CEO, Sunburn, said, “Sunburn was built on the passion of its community and for nearly two decades now, that has been at the heart of everything we’ve created, but the way they experience music today has fundamentally evolved. They’re no longer just showing up for a festival, they’re travelling for it, seeking deeper, more immersive experiences that bring together music, culture and connection. With Sunburn Europe Croatia Sail Week 2026, we’re responding to that shift by creating a format where the journey itself becomes the festival: across destinations, on the water and through shared moments that go far beyond a single stage. As we take our first step into Europe, it’s also an opportunity to take a homegrown brand to the global stage in a way that feels both authentic and future-facing.” The festival not only charts a path through Croatia’s most iconic coastal destinations, but also places the country’s natural beauty and cultural landmarks at the centre of the experience, reinforcing its position as a premier Mediterranean hub for high-value, experience-led tourism.

<p>In the world of fitness, Milind Soman is an icon.At the World Pulse summit on Wednesday (Mar 18), the 60-year-old actor-supermodel was part of a health panel where he spoke about exercise, eating habits, and the choices people make despite being aware of the consequences.&nbsp;</p><p>Interestingly, he also said he does not believe in the concept of cheat meals. When asked whether he fights cravings, he explained that he is mindful enough to choose what he believes is right.</p><p>Speaking about this, Milind said the whole idea of mindfulness is to consciously know what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and where it is leading you.</p><p>''You're mindful because you want to move in a certain direction. You're not mindlessly mindful, right? You know exactly what you're thinking, exactly what you're doing. You know why you're doing it, right? So eventually it becomes an automatic thing,'' he said.</p><p>For instance, craving something like biryani isn’t always about hunger, it’s often an emotional response rather than a actual need.</p><p>He explained that poor choices often arise when there is a disconnect between the mind and the body.&nbsp;</p><p>''There are no cravings. You, your mind and your body start working together. It's only when you're disconnected, when your mind and body are disconnected, &nbsp;you take the wrong decisions.

No, it doesn't','' Soman said.&nbsp;</p><p>''You're just craving it out of some emotional need. You're not even probably hungry.I'll tell you, a lot of people at our level in society have never felt hunger.''</p><h2>Milind Soman on Intermittent fasting</h2><p>Sharing his personal routine, he revealed that he has been following intermittent fasting for over a year. He typically fasts for 16 hours and eats within an 8-hour window.</p><p>''I started this intermittent fasting. I've been doing it for more than a year now and I find it amazing, the way it's affected the way I live. My energy is increased, my focus, the way my mind works, and by eating less. I would say eating less at a certain time. So I don't eat for about 16 hours. That's the 16-hour intermittent fasting. And I eat in that eight-hour window. And I eat then whatever I want,'' he shared.<br>‘’But I know what I should eat and how much. I know it. I don't even have to think about it. For example, if there was a samosa on the table and a gulab jamun, then what do I choose? I choose the samosa because I want to minimize sugar.''</p><p>He noted that many health issues people face in their 40s and 50s stem from years of neglect and the eating habits.</p>

<h2>Milind on parents feeding children soft drinks, pizzas, burgers</h2><p>Reflecting on his upbringing, he shared that he was raised with strong discipline around food. He avoided soft drinks until the age of 23, guided by his family’s understanding of healthy habits. And this early conditioning, he said, helped shape lifelong habits.</p><p>''You know, I see parents feeding their children soft drinks, sugar drinks, pizzas, burgers. I never had a soft drink till the age of 23. I never ate outside of the house till the age of 23 because my parents thought it wasn't healthy. My father was a nuclear scientist. My mother's a biochemist. All four of my grandparents were doctors. So they knew. And they did not encourage certain things. Because what happens as a child, if you are exposed to this, it becomes a habit.''</p><p>Ending the conversation on a positive note, Milind said that India has the fastest-growing running population in the world. ''This shows that people are waking up. India doesn’t have a strong tradition of sports, or fitness, or exercise, but people are waking up.''</p>

During his appearance at WION Pulse summit, Milind Soman talked about mindful eating, cheat meals and his 16-hour long fasting routine. Scroll to read the full story.

He typically fasts for 16 hours and eats within an 8-hour window. ''I started this intermittent fasting. I've been doing it for more than a year now and I find it amazing, the way it's affected the way I live. My energy is increased, my focus, the way my mind works, and by eating less. I would say eating less at a certain time. So I don't eat for about 16 hours. That's the 16-hour intermittent fasting. And I eat in that eight-hour window. And I eat then whatever I want,'' he shared. ‘’But I know what I should eat and how much. I know it. I don't even have to think about it. For example, if there was a samosa on the table and a gulab jamun, then what do I choose? I choose the samosa because I want to minimize sugar.'' He noted that many health issues people face in their 40s and 50s stem from years of neglect and the eating habits.

I thought to myself: if we created a space that was only for women, would they respond? Because a lot of women still feel that exercise and sport is mostly for men. If it's only for women, then they'll know it's for them. And they responded - really well. Every city we went to, there was more excitement, bigger crowds. Women started saying: can we do this? Can we do that? All the suggestions came from them. We are the first event to have a breastfeeding zone. The first to start sari wearing runs, sari wearing cycling, yoga and walking, things like that. Creating all these different communities within the community, so that no woman feels this event is not for her. The event is for them. And the cause is them - they are running for themselves, not for somebody or something outside.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/alpha-alia-bhatt-sharvari-starrer-gets-new-date-yrf-confirms-theatrical-release-1773043088839"><strong>Alpha: Alia Bhatt starrer gets new date, YRF confirms theatrical release</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Q: Aspect Sport is your official partner this year.

The concert forms part of Karan Aujla’s 10-city P-POP Culture India Tour, which has already seen strong audience turnouts in Delhi and Pune.

In an unprecedented move for the Indian live entertainment industry, global Punjabi singer-songwriter Karan Aujla has announced a special return concert for Mumbai audiences titled ‘Karan Aujla P-POP Culture India Tour - Mumbai 2.0’, scheduled for April 12, 2026. Access to the concert will be offered without any ticketing charge to all original ticket holders from the March 3, 2026 Mumbai concert, marking what is believed to be the first time a fully executed concert in India is being followed by an entirely new performance for the same audience. The initiative reflects a clear fan-first approach to live entertainment, highlighting how India’s rapidly evolving concert industry is increasingly prioritizing transparency, accountability and ownership of audience experience. The announcement follows the Holi concert held on March 3 at MMRDA Grounds, which welcomed nearly 15,000 fans. After reviewing audience feedback from the event, the artist and promoters chose to respond constructively by returning to the city with a reimagined nighttime concert experience. The upcoming concert will feature a global, state-of-the-art production environment, designed to elevate the scale, technology and overall immersion of the performance. By personally committing to return for a fresh concert experience, Karan Aujla and Team Innovation set a notable precedent within India’s live music ecosystem, demonstrating a proactive and positive approach to audience feedback and reinforcing a deeper level of artist-fan engagement.

Meghan Markle is moving forward with her lifestyle brand As ever independently, without Netflix. The Duchess of Sussex had developed her lifestyle brand in partnership with Netflix in 2025. However, the streaming giant will no longer be part of the initiative. The split was first reported by The Sun. Meghan’s lifestyle brand As ever will continue ‘independently’ according to spokespeople for the lifestyle brand as well as Netflix. A spokesperson for As ever said, "As ever is grateful for Netflix’s partnership through launch and our first year. We have experienced meaningful and rapid growth, and As ever is now ready to stand on its own. We have an exciting year ahead and can’t wait to share more." A Netflix spokesperson told PEOPL, “Meghan’s passion for elevating everyday moments in beautiful yet simple ways inspired the creation of the As ever brand, and we are glad to have played a role in bringing that vision to life." Netflix added that the streaming giant was only part of the initial phase of the brand and Meghan was always set to go independent. "As it was always intended, Meghan will continue growing the brand and take it into its next chapter independently, and we look forward to celebrating how she continues to bring joy to households around the world," the Netflix spokesperson adds. Meghan’s brand As ever launched in 2025 with its first product drop, which quickly sold out, including fruit spreads, flower sprinkles and honey which all featured in the Netflix series With Love, Meghan. The brand also sold bookmarks, wines, candles and more. Earlier, Prince Harry and Meghan announced a reported $100 deal with Netflix in 2020. Their 2022 series Harry & Meghan was one of Netflix’s most-watched documentary debuts. The couple also produced Live to Lead (2022), Heart of Invictus (2023) and Polo (2024). The association came to an end in July 2025 and it was announced that Netflix would not be renewing the deal. The move was seen as a broader shift to Netflix’ business strategy. With Love, Meghan continued to air a second season and a holiday special after the announcement. However, no future plans for the series have been unveiled.
