As per Page Six, the legal dispute stems from a 2022 lawsuit filed by Pitt, in which he alleged that Jolie sold her share of Miraval to Tenute del Mondo, the wine division of the Stoli Group, without his consent, despite what he claimed was a prior agreement. Jolie denied the existence of such an agreement and countersued, accusing Pitt of "waging a vindictive war against" her. The former couple finalised their divorce in December 2024 after more than eight years of legal proceedings. They share six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.

<p>Gerald Duchaussoy, Head of Cannes Classics states, “Amma Aryan is definitely one of the best films we have received this year. I was blown away by the intensity which spread throughout the film, the camera movements, the black and white imagery and the political atmosphere. I felt I was watching a 16mm-feature from South America from the 60s or the 70s but set in India in the 80s. That immediately felt right for us at Cannes Classics, a discovery you really want audiences to see. A trip in itself, Amma Aryan needs to be restored and seen in proper condition. Cannes will be a good start for the future.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/tara-sutaria-cannes-debut-toxic-star-to-walk-the-red-carpet-at-the-79th-cannes-film-festival-1777786366760">Toxic star Tara Sutaria to make her debut at the 79th Cannes Film Festival</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The restoration of ‘Amma Ariyan’ &nbsp;began in 2023, though it had long been a priority for Film Heritage Foundation.

No original camera negative survived. The prints, accessed in 2024, showed significant deterioration, including scratches, broken splices and emulsion damage.

<p>Following the success of Dacoit, which has emerged as one of the top five highest-grossing Telugu films of 2026 so far, actor Adivi Sesh is entering an exciting new phase in his career, one that marks a shift in tone and storytelling.

<p>While attending the event, Mandava surely had a great time with the A-listers gathered from across the world. She even managed to click a bathroom selfie. Sharing the picture that featured Blackpink member Jisoo, she wrote,'' Felt cute, might delete later #metgala.''</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mandava left India in 2023 to study at New York University and build a life that she had dreamed of. While studying for her plan, destiny has new roads for her. And one day, when she was travelling on a subway, a modelling agent and the rest is history. Born and raised in Hyderabad, she's an architect and moved to North America to pursue a master’s degree.</p>

<h2>Why did she choose this outfit for the Met Gala?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mandava, an architect from Hyderabad, gained recognition after opening the Chanel show in December 2025 as the first Indian model to do so. She had also walked that Chanel runway in jeans and a beige top, so this Met Gala look appears to be a nod to the moment that changed her career forever. Her look was a couture version of what Mandava wore the day she caught modelling agent Bishop's attention on a subway in New York.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>How is the internet reacting to Bhavitha Mandava's casual look?</h2><p>The casual look that Chanel made Mandava wear has triggered netizens, who are surely unimpressed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Calling out the brand's choice for her debut event, one user wrote,''why did they send bhavitha to the met in jeans?? this feels like a microaggression.''</p>

Jeans at the Met? Meet Hyderabad’s Bhavitha Mandava, the Chanel model who attended the coveted event in casual wear. Since she stepped out in the look, netizens haven’t stopped talking about Mandava, with many criticizing the luxury house for dressing her this way.

When you think of the Met Gala, the first thing that comes to mind is the over-the-top dress looks that push fashion so far. But at the 2026 Met Gala, the world saw a model walking the coveted carpet in a simple pair of jeans and a shirt. Yes, her look grabbed attention immediately. And who was the one who chose jeans and a shirt for an event like this? It was Indian model Bhavitha Mandava. Who is Bhavitha Mandava? The 26-year-old attended fashion’s biggest night alongside A-list celebrities. For the theme "Costume Art" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, some guests turned themselves into living statues, while others wore outfits that reflected history. Bhavitha, however, chose to represent everyday fashion. Her rise in the fashion world came earlier this year, when she made history as the first Indian model to open a Chanel show after she was discovered at a New York City subway station. For the Met Gala, the luxury brand sent the model to the event, for which she wore a sheer beige top paired with high-waisted blue jeans. To add a touch of drama, she accessorised with a diamond ring and earrings, along with black-and-white pumps. She kept her hair loose and her makeup minimal.

<p>Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, the daughter of Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, is the latest Kapoor to make her debut in films. Riddhima will be seen making her acting debut in a film called Daadi Ki Shaadi, which features her mother in the lead. Riddhima, at 45, is the oldest debutant in the Kapoor family. The Delhi-based jewellery designer made his OTT debut in 2024 on the reality show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. Riddhima has admitted that her acting debut is special in more ways than one, as she also gets to share screen space with her teenage daughter, Samara.</p><h2>Riddhima on making her acting debut at 45</h2><p>In an interview with the Indian Express, Riddhima opened up about facing the camera on a film set for the first time last year at the age of 45. She also spoke about her daughter Samara’s brief appearance in the film.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“It truly feels surreal and deeply emotional. There’s a sense of everything coming full circle. I know my father is always with me, blessing me in anything and everything that I choose to do. That thought gives me a lot of strength and comfort… Honestly, the biggest challenge was stepping into an entirely new world at this stage of life. There’s a certain vulnerability in starting fresh, but also a lot of excitement at the same time,” Riddhima said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Riddhima is married to Delhi-based businessman Bharat Sahni.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Riddhima revealed that while shooting for the wedding comedy, she left her daughter alone at their New Delhi home for the first time since Rishi’s cancer treatment in New York in 2019.</p>

<p> </p><p>The film features the three generations of Kapoor women- Neetu, Riddhima and Samara- in a song called Senti. While Samara is comfortable around the paparazzi, Riddhima isn’t sure yet if their acting stint in Daadi Ki Shaadi would translate in a full-time acting career in the near future.</p><p> </p><p>Talking about her daughter, she said, “It’s a small but very sweet appearance in the song. As a mother, it’s such a proud and emotional moment to see your child on screen.”</p><p> </p><p>Riddhima recalled that it was Karan Johar who made her face the camera for the first time in his popular reality show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives in 2024. Riddhima admitted that being in front of the camera for the show made her comfortable and gave her a sense of ease and familiarity, which definitely made the transition to film smoother.</p><h2>About Daadi Ki Shaadi</h2><p>Directed by Ashish R. Mohan, the comedy drama also stars Kapil Sharma, Sadia Khateeb, R. Sarathkumar, and Tejaswini Kolhapuri in key roles.</p><p> </p><p>The trailer showed Kapil’s family worrying about his marriage, soon finding a seemingly perfect match in Sadia Khateeb, intelligent, beautiful, and well-suited to a joint family. However, things take an unexpected turn when Sadia’s grandmother, played by Neetu Kapoor, decides to get married herself. This creates a major hurdle, as Sadia’s family is given an ultimatum: stop the grandmother’s wedding or risk losing the alliance with Kapil. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on May 8.</p>
