<p>John Krasinski returns as CIA analyst Jack Ryan in the spy thriller film Tom Clancy's <i>Jack Ryan: Ghost War.</i> The movie serves as a continuation of his hit Amazon Prime Video series, which officially premiered worldwide on May 20.

<p>Hindi film actor Saif Ali Khan was in Kolkata on Tuesday evening to honour and celebrate the enduring legacy of his father, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, fondly known as Tiger Pataudi. The actor attended the Tiger Pataudi Memorial Lecture 2026, where he reflected on his father’s life, his passion for cricket, and cherished memories associated with him. Saif was joined by legendary English cricketer Sir Ian Botham at the event.</p><h2>‘Cricket was a great equaliser’</h2><p>Addressing the audience, Saif said that while the world remembers Tiger Pataudi as “a dashing and courageous batsman, one of the world’s best fielders, and one of India’s greatest captains who changed the way we played cricket,” he remembers his father as “a man of few words.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"I knew him respectfully as Abba, a man of very few words who somehow said everything that mattered. Growing up, cricket was everywhere in our home. Everyone played - drivers, staff, family, cousins, gardeners. Cricket was always a great equaliser and taught us to respect people from an early age," Saif said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><h2>‘My father instilled self-belief in Indian players’</h2><p>The Kartavya actor also recalled how his father refused to let his eye injury become a limitation, continuing to chase perfection with unwavering determination. "I never heard him describe the loss as an adversity. To him, it was simply a fact. Something to adjust to. Something to work harder around. And perhaps that is what defined him most. Not brilliance alone - but composure. He believed leadership was not about commanding attention, but about earning trust by being open and above all fair," he shared.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"He believed in belief - instilling self belief in Indian players who had never before been told they could dominate world cricket. At a time when Indian teams were expected merely to participate, he insisted they compete to win. And that massive change of mindset, I think, was one of his great contributions," Saif added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The actor also confessed that Tiger Pataudi rarely spoke about his cricket milestones at home. "At home, he rarely spoke about achievements. He rarely spoke about anything. My mother would be exasperated at dinners and get togethers with people less informed than him would be giving their opinion. He would say no one asked me, but he wouldn’t speak, because no one asked him. It was a very different brand of confidence," he said.</p><h2>‘Tiger Pataudi was my hero’</h2><p>"As I grow little older, I realise remembering the past and honouring past heroes becomes more and more important. Tiger Pataudi was my hero and I can go on and on about him all night," Saif added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The actor said the lecture was not just about remembering Tiger Pataudi as a cricketer, but about celebrating the values he stood for: leadership, courage, resilience, and excellence. He added that true legacy is not measured by trophies, but by the influence one leaves behind and the inspiration passed on to future generations.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He concluded the speech by saying, "If my father were here this evening, he would probably be slightly embarrassed by all this attention and then quietly pleased that the conversation remained about cricket, ideas, and the future. So on behalf of our family, thank you - for remembering him not as a figure from the past, but as a continuing presence in the spirit of the game. Thank you for keeping Tiger alive where he belonged most - among lovers of sport. And thank you all for being here tonight."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 2026 Tiger Pataudi Memorial Lecture took place in Kolkata on Wednesday. Saif Ali Khan and cricket legend Ian Botham revisited fond memories of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, spoke all things cricket and even took a picture with a portrait of Saif’s great-great-great grandfather, Dwarkanath Tagore. &nbsp;</p>

Not all’s hunky dory in Bollywood. While the industry has witnessed one of the biggest hits this year in the form of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the story behind the camera is starkly different. Films are raking in the moolah at the box office, stars continue to demand big paycheques, but those working behind the camera are dealing with a significant slump in their income. A recent Top India Survey has reportedly revealed that several workers in the Hindi film industry are facing sharp financial crisis. Many of their incomes have dropped by nearly 50 to 60 per cent compared to previous years. The survey was conducted based on conversations with over 1000 people working in the entertainment industry. They reasoned that the slump has occurred due to the overall slowdown in Bollywood’s production ecosystem. According to the report, tighter production budgets, cautious spending by OTT platforms and delays in approving new projects are among the major reasons behind the situation. The impact is being felt most strongly by people who work behind the scenes. Who are impacted the most? People working as Assistant directors, makeup artists, character actors, editors, lightmen, camera operators, production assistants, spot staff and even gym trainers associated with actors are reportedly among those who have been impacted. Equipment suppliers, transport providers and camera rental companies have also been affected as production activities have slowed down. Many of these workers work as freelancers, since Bollywood is primarily not a salaried industry. Most of the work and income is project based. This means that even a small delay in a film, web series or advertisement shoot can directly affect hundreds of people connected to that project. When multiple projects get delayed or cancelled, the financial pressure becomes severe. According to the survey, several workers said projects have become less frequent, and even the available work often comes with lower pay grade than before. Who is most affected? Mid-level and junior professionals are believed to be most impacted as they are struggling to find continuous work. Industry insiders quoted in the report said the slowdown has been building gradually, with production houses becoming more careful about spending and OTT platforms taking longer to greenlight new shows and films. While the slump is across regions, the worst hit are those working in the Mumbai film industry, where the cost of living continues to rise. Since most production companies, casting offices and studios operate in areas like Andheri, Juhu and Bandra, many workers are forced to live nearby despite high rents. The report mentions that even modest apartments in these areas can cost around Rs 50,000 a month, making survival difficult for those facing irregular income. To manage expenses, the survey states, many workers are now relying on savings and borrowing from friends and relatives. Some are taking up temporary side jobs. Some have even left Mumbai and returned to their hometowns after failing to secure stable work in the city. Despite the challenges, some industry professionals remain hopeful that increased production activity in the coming months could improve the situation. The slowdown has exposed a much deeper problem: the lack of financial security and worker protection in an industry that depends heavily on freelancers. While most expect things to change, the current situation has once again highlighted the sharp contrast between Bollywood’s glamorous public image and the reality of those working behind the scenes.

<p>Indian actress Ruchi Gujjar made heads turn at Cannes Film Festival 2026 on Tuesday as she walked the red carpet in a traditional Rajasthani ensemble with a dramatic ghunghat-veil covering her face. Ruchi stated her appearance wasn’t a mere fashion statement but she used the global platform to make a strong statement against forced ghughat practices still followed in parts of rural India.</p><h2>Ruchi Gujjar’s veiled look at Cannes</h2><p>Ruchi chose a Rajasthani traditional attire in bright pink which had intricate gold-silver embroidery all over. She covered her face with the ghunghat/veil to make a strong statement. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ruchi brought attention to the thin line between voluntary cultural expression and forced social control.&nbsp;</p><p>The veil was not used as a fashion gimmick. It was designed to represent women whose identities remain invisible in society and whose voices are often unheard.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The ensemble was designed by Roopa Sharma, and fashion observers noted how the look balanced spectacle with symbolism. At Cannes, where global cinema, couture and celebrity culture often dominate attention, Ruchi look highlighted the urgent need for a conversation around dignity, choice and women’s freedom.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“My Ghughat Is Not Submission. It Is A Protest. "Speaking at Cannes, Ruchi Gujjar made her intention clear. She said, “I did not wear the ghughat as a symbol of silence. I wore it as a symbol of resistance. A woman’s dignity should come from equality, confidence, and freedom — not from hiding her face. If my presence at Cannes can start even one conversation about women trapped under social pressure, then this walk had meaning beyond fashion. My Ghughat Is Not Submission. It Is A Protest.”</p>

<p> </p><p>Coming from Rajasthan herself, Ruchi shared that the issue was deeply personal. She has grown up witnessing how customs can sometimes become social pressure for women, especially in villages and smaller towns.She said, “Culture should empower women, not erase them. Tradition should evolve with time. Respect should never demand invisibility.”</p><p> </p><h2>Cannes provides platform for strong messages</h2><p>The festival has always been a perfect platform to highlight a case. Several celebrities have used Cannes to address larger issues, from war, genocide to sustainability to gender equality and refugee rights. </p><p>Gujjar had last year appeared at Cannes wearing a special necklace featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which she described as a proud gesture of representing India globally.</p>

With her veiled look, Ruchi wanted to not create a fashion statement but highlight the oppression and lack of freedom that many women in rural India faced as they are forced to veil themselves. Gujjar wore a traditional Rajasthani attire that grabbed attention. 

Indian actress Ruchi Gujjar made heads turn at Cannes Film Festival 2026 on Tuesday as she walked the red carpet in a traditional Rajasthani ensemble with a dramatic ghunghat-veil covering her face. Ruchi stated her appearance wasn’t a mere fashion statement but she used the global platform to make a strong statement against forced ghughat practices still followed in parts of rural India. Ruchi Gujjar’s veiled look at Cannes Ruchi chose a Rajasthani traditional attire in bright pink which had intricate gold-silver embroidery all over. She covered her face with the ghunghat/veil to make a strong statement. Ruchi brought attention to the thin line between voluntary cultural expression and forced social control. The veil was not used as a fashion gimmick. It was designed to represent women whose identities remain invisible in society and whose voices are often unheard. The ensemble was designed by Roopa Sharma, and fashion observers noted how the look balanced spectacle with symbolism. At Cannes, where global cinema, couture and celebrity culture often dominate attention, Ruchi look highlighted the urgent need for a conversation around dignity, choice and women’s freedom. “My Ghughat Is Not Submission. It Is A Protest. "Speaking at Cannes, Ruchi Gujjar made her intention clear. She said, “I did not wear the ghughat as a symbol of silence. I wore it as a symbol of resistance. A woman’s dignity should come from equality, confidence, and freedom — not from hiding her face. If my presence at Cannes can start even one conversation about women trapped under social pressure, then this walk had meaning beyond fashion. My Ghughat Is Not Submission. It Is A Protest.”

<p>Parallelly, the story also follows Allie Hayes (Mika Abdalla), Hannah's best friend, who is dealing with the emotional aftermath of a break-up from a long-term relationship and trying to redefine what she wants from love and independence.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just when she thinks she has control over her life and is fully embracing her single phase, an impulsive decision leads her into a situation that quickly becomes emotionally complicated with Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The story gradually unfolds, revealing that the growing connections and circumstances are not as simple as they first appear. Both Graham and Wells come from traumatic pasts and explore a journey of emotional paths, unexpected complications, personal struggles, and changing dynamics, which keep the plot hooked.</p><h2>Why is everyone talking about romantic drama?</h2><p>While the book originated in 2015, the hype around it only began during the lockdown phase in 2020. It gained popularity among readers, especially a particular generation, through social media and was also championed by the BookTok community on TikTok. With a blend of college romance, emotional storytelling, and interesting character dynamics, the series soon became a fan favourite.</p>

<p>With the recent adaptation, the fandom has escalated to introduce the characters from fiction to on-screen and show the chemistry they share, attracting both old-time readers and new viewers alike.</p><h2>What catches attention quickly?</h2><p>What quickly grabs attention is the gradually blooming love between Hannah and Garrett. The way they both stand up for each other in their highs and lows is remarkable. The emotions portrayed in the show make the viewers feel the need to experience a similar kind of chemistry and connection in real life, similar to what Wells and Graham have in the show.</p>

<p>Besides a typical college romance, Wells and Graham’s dynamics have created strong emotional moments, giving viewers a sense of warmth and nostalgia that keeps them invested in the eight-episode journey.</p><h2>Is the series worth watching?</h2><p>As a final verdict, Off Campus is an entertaining binge-watch that revolves around college life, complicated relationships, emotional baggage, and intense romance between students at Briar University. The eight-episode series definitely offers relatable content for the young audience, largely inspired by Elle Kennedy’s book series. The book had readers getting deeply attached to the storyline long before the screen adaptation arrived. Now, with the on-screen version, audiences can reconnect with the story all over again.</p>

Off Campus is a steamy college romance about hockey captain Garrett Graham and music student Hannah Wells. The show is based on the bestselling book series by Elle Kennedy. Ever since the drama was released on May 13, people, especially Gen Z, have not stopped talking about it.

Ever since the romantic drama Off Campus dropped on May 13, 2026, on Amazon Prime Video, the world has not stopped talking about it. The series is already backed by a loyal fanbase, gained over the years thanks to the original book series written by Elle Kennedy on which the series is based on. The internet has been obsessed with edits, fan theories, chemistry clips, and many more and has got Gen Z hooked onto it. But beyond the hype, does the series actually deliver binge-watch-worthy content? Here’s what we think. What is Off Campus about? Starting off with Ella Bright as Hannah Wells, an aspiring music student, and Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli), a charming captain of the Briar University men’s hockey team, the show is set in Briar University, where Graham finds himself under pressure after struggling academically, making him ineligible to continue playing hockey. On the other hand, Hannah is juggling her life between scholarship, unspoken feelings, and a troubled love life. Graham makes a deal with Wells for a fake dating arrangement. In the deal, Hannah agrees to tutor Garrett to help him improve his grades. In return, Garrett promises to help Hannah get noticed by her crush by trying to make him jealous.

Is Off Campus worth watching? Why this romantic drama is Gen Z’s new obsession

<p>R. Madhavan has publicly slammed a wellness and health company after it allegedly used a clip from one of his interviews in a promotional reel without his approval.

Madhavan criticises the company</h2><p>Sharing a screenshot of the advertisement on Instagram, Madhavan revealed that legal action had already been initiated against the brand. "What a shame. How do these people and organisations think they can get away with this? You cannot take a clip of somebody’s interview and make it part of your endorsement. Legal notice sent.
