<p>Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagendran on Monday has expressed regret over a comment he made involving actress Trisha Krishnan recently. Nagendran’s statement came after Trisha called him out in a strongly worded statement earlier in the day. Nagendran had dragged Trisha’s name while taking a jab at actor-turned-politician Vijay during an event recently.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>‘Statement made by mistake’</h2><p>In a statement issued to the press, Nagendran said,, “This was a statement made by mistake. Our All India women's wing chief Vanathi Srinivasan and Annamalai has spoken to me about this matter. If anyone has been hurt by my statement, I express my heartfelt regrets.”&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The apology comes a day after Nagendran triggered a political row by suggesting that Vijay should “come out of Trisha’s house” to gain experience and succeed in politics.</p><p>The Tamil Nadu BJP chief had a reaction to Vijay’s claim that his party would emerge as a key challenger in the upcoming Assembly elections.</p><h2>What did Nainar Nagendran say?</h2><p>At a recent event, Nagendran had mocked Vijay’s political ambitions, saying the actor was someone “who cannot even climb onto a rooftop is dreaming of climbing to heaven”.</p><p>“Poor man, he is completely inexperienced. First, he needs to come out of his house. Come out of Trisha’s house first, then something can happen,” he had said, laughing.</p><h2>Trisha calls out Nagendran</h2><p>Through her legal advisor, actress Trisha condemned the remarks and asserted her political neutrality. In a statement issued on Monday morning, Trisha’s legal advisor said, “My client never expected that such a distasteful and inappropriate remark would be made by a person holding a high stature in the State's political space.”&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The statement also said the actress wished to be defined only by her work and that her name should not be dragged into matters unrelated to her.</p>

<p> </p><p>Not just Trisha, there were others too who called out Nagendran for the inappropriate remarks and accused the BJP of making personal attacks. Leaders of the ruling DMK alleged that such comments reflected a lack of respect for women, while the Congress also questioned why the actor’s name was being brought into political discourse.</p><p>While Nagendran had initially refused to withdraw his remarks, stating he stood by his words, on Monday, he expressed regret over the comments. </p>

Days after he made a jibe at actors Trisha Krishnan and Vijay, Tamil Nadu BJP Chief Nainar Nagendran has expressed regret. The politician's apology came hours after Trisha called him out in a statement earlier on Monday. 

Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagendran on Monday has expressed regret over a comment he made involving actress Trisha Krishnan recently. Nagendran’s statement came after Trisha called him out in a strongly worded statement earlier in the day. Nagendran had dragged Trisha’s name while taking a jab at actor-turned-politician Vijay during an event recently. ‘Statement made by mistake’ In a statement issued to the press, Nagendran said,, “This was a statement made by mistake. Our All India women's wing chief Vanathi Srinivasan and Annamalai has spoken to me about this matter. If anyone has been hurt by my statement, I express my heartfelt regrets.” The apology comes a day after Nagendran triggered a political row by suggesting that Vijay should “come out of Trisha’s house” to gain experience and succeed in politics. The Tamil Nadu BJP chief had a reaction to Vijay’s claim that his party would emerge as a key challenger in the upcoming Assembly elections. What did Nainar Nagendran say? At a recent event, Nagendran had mocked Vijay’s political ambitions, saying the actor was someone “who cannot even climb onto a rooftop is dreaming of climbing to heaven”. “Poor man, he is completely inexperienced. First, he needs to come out of his house. Come out of Trisha’s house first, then something can happen,” he had said, laughing. Trisha calls out Nagendran Through her legal advisor, actress Trisha condemned the remarks and asserted her political neutrality. In a statement issued on Monday morning, Trisha’s legal advisor said, “My client never expected that such a distasteful and inappropriate remark would be made by a person holding a high stature in the State's political space.” The statement also said the actress wished to be defined only by her work and that her name should not be dragged into matters unrelated to her.

Over the years, he has repeatedly reshaped himself for roles, often embracing uncomfortable in-between phases that come with moving from one character to the next.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Currently, the actor is navigating another such phase as he shifts gears between two demanding biographical roles.

He also experimented with his hair to make the age and journey feel authentic. At the moment, he’s in a transition phase, losing the weight he gained for Nikam while simultaneously doing look tests for his next biopic on Sourav Ganguly. This phase is completely intentional and part of moving from one character to another.”</p><p> </p><p><strong>Also see: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/rajkummar-rao-and-patralekhaa-reveal-daughter-s-name-share-first-photo-1768719513219"><strong>Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa reveal daughter's name; share first photo</strong></a></p><p> </p><p>The source added, “This isn’t new for him. Rajkummar has always pushed himself for his roles. Be it when he shaved his head for Bose or dropped around 7 kgs for his character in Trapped, or for Srikant,h where he refused to come out of the character on set even when cameras weren’t rolling. His focus is always on fully embodying the character he’s playing.”</p><h2>‘I’m not a believer in prosthetic’</h2><p> </p><p>On Monday, Rao took to Instagram to update fans about his upcoming films and addressed speculations about his look. </p><p> </p><p>Rao shared images of Nikam and Ganguly and revealed how he has undergone physical transformation for the two biopics he is part of. Along with the images, he shared a long note and wrote, "My being is through my Art. Just finished shooting for my next Biopic #NIKAM and yes, it has demanded me to change physically which I love doing. I’m not a believer in prosthetic as long as I can achieve the look through my hardwork which I’ve achieved in Nikam be it gaining weight or looking old (to play a certain age)or to make my hair thin which my hair stylist was very much against but everyone told me to not go half bald for BOSE also and to gain that much weight or to Not stop eating and lose so much weight for TRAPPED or to not behave like a visually impaired person even when cameras weren’t rolling during SRIKANTH. For Nikam I had to gain around 9-10 kgs and I was eating 2 pizzas and lot of sweets and my fav Aloo Parathas, Biryani and to not use anything glam to look like the part. Hopefully, when you will see the film which will be releasing soon you will be able to see all that hardwork in the film.</p><p>And now it’s the transition phase and time to lose these extra kgs and get ready to slip into Ganguly mode. Our very own Dada. Will always work the hardest to engage you, entertain you through my work. Much Love." </p>

Actor Rajkummar Rao’s recent appearance during an event sparked concerns among fans about his health. Rao appeared visibly more bulky with a different hairline, which led to speculations about the actor’s well-being. Turns out, the actor has changed his appearance for a film role. Rajkummar Rao undergoes a physical transformation for new film Rajkummar Rao has consistently viewed physical transformation as an integral part of his craft, particularly in biopics. Over the years, he has repeatedly reshaped himself for roles, often embracing uncomfortable in-between phases that come with moving from one character to the next. Currently, the actor is navigating another such phase as he shifts gears between two demanding biographical roles. While the visible changes have sparked conversation, those familiar with his process see it as a continuation of a long-standing pattern rather than something out of the ordinary.

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>During a recent conversation with WION, Sindwani opened up about her experience at the music’s biggest night, last-minute couture chaos, and why she refuses to be boxed in by labels.</p><h2>The Grammy was surreal</h2><p>When asked about her experience attending music’s biggest night, Sindwani said, "I didn’t personally interact with anyone because security was extremely tight. But I saw everyone and some of them were literally right in front of me."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At a pre-Grammy party, Sakshi rubbed shoulders with the likes of Sabrina Carpenter who was also present at the event. At the red carpet, she recalls spotting Chappell Roan just a few steps away from her. "I might not have met them, but I definitely experienced the energy. I saw all the stars, some up close at the red carpet, some at pre-Grammy parties, and of course during the ceremony," she added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/diamonds-drama-and-bare-breasts-grammys-2026-red-carpet-fashion-moments-1769999352234"><strong>Diamonds, drama and bare breasts: Grammys 2026 best red-carpet moments</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But what was the most grounding moment? "Being recognised by South Asian followers" in Los Angeles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"That was surreal. I met so many viewers from the US who recognised me. I went back and checked my analytics, and realised I have a substantial American audience. That moment reminded me how far our community has come," Sindwani said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Grammy performances gave Sakshi goosebumps</h2><p>Grammy is known for its outstanding performances, but what Sindwani enjoyed the most that night was when Olivia Dean took the stage. “She’s one of my favourite emerging artists and watching her win the Best New Artist Grammy was special."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“Justin Bieber’s stripped-down performance also impressed her. His vocals were exceptional. It was so simple - almost shockingly simple - but brilliant,” Sindwani added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/india-at-grammy-awards-2026-anoushka-shankar-shakti-and-charu-suri-leading-nomination-line-up-1769776369465"><strong>India at Grammy Awards 2026: Anoushka Shankar, Shakti and Charu Suri leading nomination line-up</strong></a></p><h2>The couture that almost didn’t happen</h2><p>Her red-carpet look appeared seamless, but the backstory is not that simple. Sindwani found out about her Grammy attendance just five days before flying to Los Angeles. She was on another brand trip, struggling with a swollen voice box, and navigating a long weekend when most designers' teams were off work.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"I couldn’t even speak. I had no voice. And suddenly I had to prepare for the Grammys in three days," she shared.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This was the moment when Manish Malhotra came to her rescue. Her gown, a sculpted corset-style halter top paired with a swirl skirt in a never-before-seen fabric, was completed in just two and a half working days. The garment was flown directly from Mumbai to LA without trial fitting. "I had only seen the sketch and the fabric. I had no idea how it would look at me. It was ready at 6 pm, and the flight took off at 1 am. That’s how close it was," the content creator recalled. "Everyone took it personally. It felt like one of their own was going to the Grammys. That love made it happen.”</p><h2>Sindwani on Indian designers</h2><p>For Sindwani, Indian representation was non-negotiable: "I always knew I wanted to take Indian designers with me. That’s the representation I stand for." She briefed her designers with precision, a red Valentino-inspired homage for one event and curve-accentuating silhouettes for the main ceremony. "I don’t overthink style. It’s instinctual. I know what I want to express.”</p><h2>Red carpet favourites</h2><p>Apart from her own look, Sakshi, who doesn’t identify with the “influencer” tag, was particularly impressed by Olivia Dean’s elegance, Chappell Roan’s bold styling, and Sabrina Carpenter’s glamour. But her top pick? “My favourite has to be Bad Bunny in Schiaparelli. That was such a moment.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/risky-revealing-and-okay-ish-grammys-2026-fashion-looks-1770017570660"><strong>Risky, revealing and okay-ish: Grammys 2026 fashion looks</strong></a></p><h2>Redefining beauty and self-acceptance</h2><p>As someone who has consistently challenged conventional beauty standards, Sindwani defines beauty as "Individuality. If I see someone owning who they are, not trying to fit into a norm, that’s beautiful to me."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking about fashion, she explains, “It is the biggest form of self-expression. It changes my mood, my body language, and my character. At the Grammys, I felt like an old Hollywood movie star. Last night at dinner, I felt like a cool goth pop girl. I transform through what I wear.”</p><h2>Building a community</h2><p>Sakshi began her journey on Instagram in 2019, but it was during the COVID-19 lockdown that her content exploded. “I posted a video every single day for over two years. No excuses.” She calls COVID a “blessing in disguise” for her career, allowing her the time and discipline to build a loyal community. “I’m extremely disciplined. Not because I have something to prove, I don’t feel that way, but because I genuinely love what I do.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Whether she’s redefining beauty standards or using fashion as a language of self-expression, Sakshi Sindwani continues to build a space where individuality shines.</p>

Sakshi Sindwani became the first Indian digital creator to attend the Grammy Awards. In a conversation with WION, she shared her experience about the prestigious event and how she challenges conventional beauty standards. 

For Sakshi Sindwani, stepping onto the red carpet at the Grammy Awards 2026 was not just a memorable night but a culturally defining moment for India as she became the first Indian digital creator to attend the prestigious event. Her attendance at music's biggest night can be seen by many as an achievement, while she describes it as a shift where global platforms now recognise Indian creators. Grabbing attention at the Grammys red carpet, in a custom ensemble from Manish Malhotra’s INAYA couture line, Sindwani ensured to bring Indian fashion under the global spotlight. In collaboration with Johnnie Walker, her week at the Grammys featured cocktail evenings, a Sabrina Carpenter-themed celebration, and the Universal Music Group post-Grammy party.

Period drama Train Dreams took home the Spirit Awards win for best feature Sunday, as both it and "The Secret Agent" gathered momentum ahead of the Academy Awards. The Secret Agent notched best international film as its team hopes to win in the same category at the Oscars next month. The annual Film Independent Spirit Awards ceremony only celebrates movies made for less than $30 million. "Train Dreams," director Clint Bentley's adaptation of the Denis Johnson novella, follows a railroad worker and the transformation of the American northwest across the 20th century. The film won three of its four categories, also grabbing wins for best director and best cinematography. The movie's lead, Joel Edgerton, however, did not take home best actor, which went to Rose Byrne for "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You." "Train Dreams" producer Teddy Schwarzman told AFP the film "is a singular journey, but it hopefully helps bring people together to understand all that life entails: love, friendship, loss, grief, healing and hope." "Train Dreams" will compete for best picture at the Oscars, among other honors. - Big win for Brazil - After "The Secret Agent" nabbed best international film, director Kleber Mendonca Filho hailed the win as one that hopefully "gives more visibility to Brazilian cinema." The film follows a former academic pursued by hitmen amid the political turmoil of Brazil under military rule. It prevailed Sunday over contenders including rave-themed road trip movie "Sirat," which will compete alongside "The Secret Agent" for best international feature film at the Oscars, capping Hollywood's awards season. "The Secret Agent" will also be up for best picture, best actor and best casting. Brazil's "I'm Still Here" won best international feature at the Oscars last year. Other Spirit winners on Sunday included "Lurker," for best first screenplay and best first feature film. "Sorry, Honey" nabbed best screenplay and "The Perfect Neighbor" scored best documentary. The Academy Awards will be presented on March 15.

Also Read: O'Romeo to Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai: 7 movies based on real-life gangsters The WION review of the film read, "Stacked with prolific actors, the movie never bores you despite its repetitive action-driven plot, something audiences are seeing in almost every second film these days. The film is lengthy, and the first half feels slightly slow, taking time to settle and to make the audience understand how the events are unfolding. In the second half, however, the narrative is more understandable. In some action sequences, especially in the climax, the camerawork is impressive and delivers a “wow” factor. Vishal Bharadwaj’s film is a purely commercial entertainer that wins because of its performances and background score, especially when ‘’Hum To Tere Hi Liye'' is being played again and again."

How Vishal Bhardwaj revived his shelved film About O'Romeo Directed by Bhardwaj, the film also features Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, Disha Patani, Vikrant Massey, and Farida Jalal in key roles alongside Kapoor and Dimri. O'Romeo is said to be inspired by a book named Mafia Queens of Mumbai by Hussain Zaidi, and revolves around Mumbai underworld gangster Haseen Ustara (Shahid Kapoor) and his forbidden love story with Afsha (Triptii Dimri).

Charli XCX co-produced "The Moment", and also has two smaller acting roles in films that screened at Sundance, Gregg Araki's "I Want Your Sex" and "The Gallerist", by Cathy Yan.

Pop superstar Charli XCX said Saturday she was "honoured" to be at this year's Berlin Film Festival and hailed the event's tradition of scheduling politically aware films. Aidan Zamiri's mockumentary "The Moment", starring Charli XCX playing a fictionalised version of herself dealing with the fallout of her own "brat summer" phenomenon, is being shown in the festival's Panorama section after premiering at Sundance last month. At a press conference, Charli XCX was asked why she felt it was important to launch the film this way, at a time when many prominent new film releases are not coming from the festival circuit. "I think we all collectively feel so honoured to have been invited to show our film at both Sundance and here at the Berlinale," she said, adding that "both festivals really do champion a wide variety of filmmakers with really important voices". She went on to emphasise that the Berlinale "in particular is known for not shying away from political films, from films that have a real social angle". "I'm only just starting out in this industry, but I feel passionate about working within those spaces," she said. The comment came after the Berlinale was swept up in controversy when jury president Wim Wenders said Thursday in response to a question about the situation in Gaza that cinema should "stay out of politics". Two films were withdrawn from the festival in protest, and Booker Prize-winning author Arundhati Roy cancelled her appearance, calling Wenders's stance "unconscionable". - 'Cathartic' - Charli XCX co-produced "The Moment", and also has two smaller acting roles in films that screened at Sundance, Gregg Araki's "I Want Your Sex" and "The Gallerist", by Cathy Yan. "The Moment" satirises the consequences of her hit 2024 album "brat", as rapacious record company executives and a film director played by Alexander Skarsgard seek to jump on the juggernaut. Charli XCX said the film deals with "the lifespan of art, the idea of... overstaying your welcome in a cultural space". "Making this film was quite cathartic in a way, because I was also able to channel a lot of my frustration that I may have felt in the real world into these sort of heightened scenarios that I was experiencing within the film," she said. She drew liberally on her own experiences in the music industry to portray the fictional Charli's reactions. "Have I had a breakdown in the back of a Viano whilst smoking a million cigarettes? Yes." Several celebrities make cameo appearances as ironicised versions of themselves, including Kylie Jenner. Director Zamiri admitted that he "couldn't believe that Kylie was down to do this". "There's a lot of crossover in this film between, you know, the real world and fiction," he said. "Maybe the hope is that in 20 years people might look back at this and sort of not quite know what was true and what wasn't, and sort of confuse archaeologists of the future, ideally."
