<p>What’s striking is how perfectly the bag replicates an auto-rickshaw. Crafted with Louis Vuitton’s signature Monogram canvas, it features handles, a windshield, and even the miniature three tiers of an actual rickshaw, though it’s unclear if the tiers are movable.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2>Internet is in shock!<br>&nbsp;</h2><p>Louis Vuitton's reimagination of India’s iconic auto-rickshaw has sent shockwaves across the internet, with netizens wondering about the cost of this quirky fashion accessory. Some even question whether this bag will cost more than an autorickshaw.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>One user wrote,''They are trying to hit the Indian / Asian market lol.''</p>

<p>Third user wrote, ''Did they call this a Tuk Tuk or Rickshaw, I am so curious 😂.''<br>&nbsp;</p><p>This is not the first time that the fashion house has made quirky and unique bags. Earlier, we have seen LV's bags in the shape of planes, dolphins and lobsters.</p>

The quirky handbag, now going viral, is seemingly inspired by the India's auto-rickshaw, the three-wheeler found on the streets of every Indian city and used by the public for daily travel. 

Just weeks after Prada’s Kolhapuri sandal took the fashion world by surprise, another unexpected accessory is here, this time it is from luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton. The latest buzz on the internet is all about a handbag, which we can also call an auto-rickshaw bag. The bag is not only raising eyebrows but also makes many wonder where these luxury fashion houses are getting their ideas from. Louis Vuitton’s Auto-Rickshaw Bag The quirky handbag, now going viral, is seemingly inspired by the India's auto-rickshaw, the three-wheeler found on the streets of every Indian city and used by the public for daily travel. The bag is part of Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The bag caught the internet's attention after it was shared on a popular Instagram handle, Diet Paratha. Sharing a montage video of the bag, they wrote, ‘’Did this bag just colonise me? Jokingggggg… NRIs are gonna go crazy for this one tho. Really wish they had showcased this on the runway last night. I spotted it on top of a shelf during the re-see this morning.”

<p>Singer Katy Perry broke down in tears during her final show on the Australian leg of her Lifetimes tour. The tour is in support of Perry's sixth studio album 143. It was her first performance since her breakup with fiancé Orlando Bloom. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom first met in 2016. After taking a break in 2017, they rekindled their romance, and in 2019, he proposed to her. In 2020, the couple welcomed their first child. The couple's breakup was confirmed by<i> People</i> just days after Bloom attended the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice by himself.</p>

<h2>Breakup after Blue Origin backlash</h2><p>It was reported that a rift formed between the two after Katy Perry’s recent Blue Origin space trip became the subject of widespread ridicule online. Several videos from Katy Perry's performance made their way online, and the singer can be heard saying, “Thank you for always being there for me, Australia.” “It means the world,” she adds.</p><h2>Plans to co-parent</h2><p>Orlando Bloom took to Instagram during the performance and posted a few inspirational quotes: "Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most." He also shared, "The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to a report by<i> People</i>, the couple wants to maintain a friendly relationship for the sake of their child and focus on co-parenting with kindness and respect.</p><h2>A near-mishap on stage</h2><p>During an earlier performance in Australia, Katy Perry nearly fell from mid-air during her performance as she was preparing to be lifted over the audience inside a metallic sphere by holding onto some cables, and Perry appeared to lose her footing. She quickly recovered by gripping the cables.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking before the show with<i> People</i>, Perry said, "There's costume changes, there's acts, there's dancers, there's musicians. I'll fly around the room. There's no bad seat in the house. I'm going to get close to everyone at some point."</p>

<p>The jury in the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs will continue deliberating after reaching a partial verdict but remaining deadlocked on the top charge faced by the hip-hop mogul. Combs is facing multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation with intent to engage in prostitution. The 12 jurors announced they had reached an agreement on four of the five counts, but could not come to a decision on the racketeering charge, which carries a potential life sentence. Deliberations are set to resume on Wednesday morning. Sean "Diddy" Combs has pleaded not guilty to all five charges.</p><h2>Testimonies heard over two months</h2><p>Over the past two months, jurors have heard testimony from 34 witnesses, including ex-girlfriends, former employees, male escorts, and federal agents. The panel explained they could not agree on the racketeering charge because two jurors on both sides held strong, unchanging opinions.</p><h2>Judge considers next steps after partial verdict</h2><p>Judge Arun Subramanian heard arguments from both prosecutors and Combs' defence team on how to move forward, before encouraging the jurors to keep trying for a unanimous verdict. The verdicts reached on the other four counts have not yet been disclosed.</p><h2>Prosecutors urge Allen charge</h2><p>Prosecutors urged the judge to issue an Allen charge, a legal instruction that urges a deadlocked jury to try to reach a consensus. Allen charges can be controversial, as critics argue they place unfair pressure on jurors to change their votes or give in to peer pressure.</p><h2>New lawsuit emerges against Combs</h2><p>As a verdict draws closer, Combs has also been hit with another lawsuit. Edmond Laurent, a former model and actor who appeared in music videos for Britney Spears and Lil’ Kim, is suing Combs and several others for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, sexual battery, civil conspiracy, and aiding and abetting.<br>&nbsp;</p>

The jury in the trial of Sean Diddy Combs will continue deliberating after reaching a partial verdict but remaining deadlocked on the most serious charge faced by the hip-hop mogul.

Deliberations are set to resume on Wednesday morning. Sean "Diddy" Combs has pleaded not guilty to all five charges. Testimonies heard over two months Over the past two months, jurors have heard testimony from 34 witnesses, including ex-girlfriends, former employees, male escorts, and federal agents. The panel explained they could not agree on the racketeering charge because two jurors on both sides held strong, unchanging opinions. Judge considers next steps after partial verdict Judge Arun Subramanian heard arguments from both prosecutors and Combs' defence team on how to move forward, before encouraging the jurors to keep trying for a unanimous verdict. The verdicts reached on the other four counts have not yet been disclosed. Prosecutors urge Allen charge Prosecutors urged the judge to issue an Allen charge, a legal instruction that urges a deadlocked jury to try to reach a consensus. Allen charges can be controversial, as critics argue they place unfair pressure on jurors to change their votes or give in to peer pressure. New lawsuit emerges against Combs As a verdict draws closer, Combs has also been hit with another lawsuit. Edmond Laurent, a former model and actor who appeared in music videos for Britney Spears and Lil’ Kim, is suing Combs and several others for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, sexual battery, civil conspiracy, and aiding and abetting.

<p>The jury in the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs will continue deliberating after reaching a partial verdict but remaining deadlocked on the top charge faced by the hip-hop mogul.</p>

Swaggart's death from a heart attack at a hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was announced on the official Facebook page of his Jimmy Swaggart Ministries. "Brother Swaggart has finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of His Savior, Jesus Christ," it said.

US televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, who developed a worldwide following for his fiery Christian sermons before being felled in a prostitution scandal, died on Tuesday at the age of 90. Swaggart's death from a heart attack at a hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was announced on the official Facebook page of his Jimmy Swaggart Ministries. "Brother Swaggart has finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of His Savior, Jesus Christ," it said. "For over seven decades, Brother Swaggart poured out his life preaching the gospel, singing songs of the faith, and pointing millions to the saving power of Jesus Christ," it added. Swaggart, whose first cousins were rock and roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis and country singer Mickey Gilley, rose to prominence in the 1980s at the head of his Louisiana-based Pentecostal church the Assemblies of God. His televised sermons featuring fire and brimstone rhetoric and gospel music were watched by millions around the world and raised hundreds of millions of dollars in donations annually. At his height, Swaggart joined the ranks of other leading Christian televangelists such as Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Jim Bakker, who was also disgraced in a sex scandal. Swaggart's downfall came in 1987 after he was photographed at a motel in New Orleans with a prostitute. He made a tearful televised confession the next year. "I have sinned against you, my Lord," Swaggart said, without providing details. "I beg you forgive me." Swaggart was defrocked by the elders of his church, and while he continued to preach over the next decades his following and his influence had diminished.

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Panchayat began streaming on Amazon Prime in 2020, when half of the world was locked inside their homes due to COVID-19. While the show's simplistic village tone won over the audience, among all the elements, the character that struck the right chord was Binod; Ashok Pathak was the man who played the role. With his line, "Dekh raha hai Binod," and his curious expressions, Ashok's character became a viral meme moment.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Five years and four seasons later, the show remains one of the fan-favourite series. In this article, we will talk about Ashok’s journey and his story of struggle, from selling cotton to walking the red carpet.</p><h2><br>Born and background</h2><p>Born on January 3, 1985, in Darveshpur, a small village in Bihar’s Siwan district, Ashok’s childhood was full of hardship. His father reportedly worked as a fireman in coal furnaces, and his uncle used to sell cotton. From a young age, Ashok used to sell cotton himself, earning no more than Rs 100 a day. Later, he moved with his family to Hisar, a town in Haryana, to build a better future.</p><h2>How Binod from Panchayat became an actor?</h2><p>After finishing school, Ashok joined a local college, where he discovered his passion for theatre and acting. He started participating in numerous cultural festivals and plays.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>“My father (Ram Naresh Pathak) was a daily wager, who lived in a village. I was poor in studies. On sifarish, I got admission in CRM Jat College for graduation but that changed my life. In the youth festival, I won the best actor award and we went on to win at the national level as well. I got awarded by (actor) Ashutosh Rana sir. My photo was everywhere (in the newspapers) which was a big deal and phir pariwar ne kaha... ‘Kar bhai jo bhi karna hai’,” he told Hindustan Times.</p>

<p>Journey in B-Town<br><br>After arriving in the city of dreams, Ashok did not stop. He gave hundreds of auditions and landed parts in several notable films such as Bittoo Boss, 102 Not Out, and the series Sacred Games. But the turning point of his life came when he played the role of Binod in Panchayat - the character that finally brought Ashok widespread and much-deserved recognition.</p><h2>Cannes Red Carpet Walk</h2><p>Ashok was part of Radhika Apte’s Sister Midnight, which was screened under the Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival 2024. The film received a 10-minute standing ovation. For the man who once sold cotton to walking the red carpet at Cannes is a dream that many only imagine.</p>

This Panchayat actor sold cotton for Rs 100 a day, read his inspiring journey

Panchayat began streaming on Amazon Prime in 2020, when half of the world was locked inside their homes due to COVID-19. While the show's simplistic village tone won over the audience, among all the elements, the character that struck the right chord was Binod; Ashok Pathak was the man who played the role. With his line, "Dekh raha hai Binod," and his curious expressions, Ashok's character became a viral meme moment. Five years and four seasons later, the show remains one of the fan-favourite series. In this article, we will talk about Ashok’s journey and his story of struggle, from selling cotton to walking the red carpet. Born and background Born on January 3, 1985, in Darveshpur, a small village in Bihar’s Siwan district, Ashok’s childhood was full of hardship. His father reportedly worked as a fireman in coal furnaces, and his uncle used to sell cotton. From a young age, Ashok used to sell cotton himself, earning no more than Rs 100 a day. Later, he moved with his family to Hisar, a town in Haryana, to build a better future. How Binod from Panchayat became an actor? After finishing school, Ashok joined a local college, where he discovered his passion for theatre and acting. He started participating in numerous cultural festivals and plays. “My father (Ram Naresh Pathak) was a daily wager, who lived in a village. I was poor in studies. On sifarish, I got admission in CRM Jat College for graduation but that changed my life. In the youth festival, I won the best actor award and we went on to win at the national level as well. I got awarded by (actor) Ashutosh Rana sir. My photo was everywhere (in the newspapers) which was a big deal and phir pariwar ne kaha... ‘Kar bhai jo bhi karna hai’,” he told Hindustan Times.

<p>Wimbledon 2025 - the 138th edition of the Championship - is already underway and the All England Club has found the perfect way to describe Novak Djokovic's hunt for the record 25th title. Djokovic, who hasn't won a grand slam since winning US Open 2023, is hoping to overcome the barrier in the tournament he has won seven times. To show his determination, Wimbledon has chosen a famous dialogue from the Indian movie franchise - Pushpa - where the protagonist (played by Allu Arjun) refuses to stand down in face of adversity with the statement - "Jukhega nahi (won't bow down)."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read -</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/who-is-billionaire-heiress-world-no-3-jessica-pegula-loss-vs-cocciaretto-in-wimbledon-first-round-of-women-s-singles-1751371289051">Wimbledon 2025: Billionaire heiress and world no. 3 Pegula suffers shock defeat vs Cocciaretto in first round of women's singles</a></p><h2><strong>Wimbledon and Djokovic go Pushpa way</strong></h2><p>Taking a leaf out of the Pushpa book, Wimbledon, along with the official broadcaster of the tournament, has shared a post on its official Instagram handle with a sketch of Novak Djokovic in iconic Pushpa pose with the caption: "Rukega bhi nahi aur jhukega bhi nahi (won't stop and won't bow down either)."

<h2><strong>Djokovic in Wimbledon</strong></h2><p>Djokovic takes on French Alexandre Muller in the first round at SW19 on Tuesday (Jul 1). Djokovic is 38 now and will be 39 next year - his age is showing up as he continues to chase the elusive 25th grand slam title - probably the only feather missing from his decorated tennis career cap.</p><p>In the previous two editions of the Wimbledon, Djokovic has reached the final but fell short against eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz who is playing in the tournament as a two-time defending champion.</p><p>While Djokovic has greatness and history on his side, his current from is worrying in his quest for the record 25th grand slam title as visible in the French Open where he lost the semi-final to Jannik Sinner in straight sets. It'll be interesting to see how Djokovic fares in the tournament and whether or not he'd be able to win the elusive title.</p>

Taking a leaf out of the Pushpa book, Wimbledon, along with the official broadcaster of the tournament, has shared a post on its official Instagram handle with a sketch of Novak Djokovic in iconic Pushpa (played by Allu Arjun) pose.

Wimbledon 2025 - the 138th edition of the Championship - is already underway and the All England Club has found the perfect way to describe Novak Djokovic's hunt for the record 25th title. Djokovic, who hasn't won a grand slam since winning US Open 2023, is hoping to overcome the barrier in the tournament he has won seven times. To show his determination, Wimbledon has chosen a famous dialogue from the Indian movie franchise - Pushpa - where the protagonist (played by Allu Arjun) refuses to stand down in face of adversity with the statement - "Jukhega nahi (won't bow down)."

<p>Amazon’s <i>Heads of State</i> stars John Cena as Will Derringer, a former action movie star turned President of the United States, who must put aside his rivalry with Idris Elba’s Sam Clarke, a former commando turned Prime Minister of the UK, after they both become targets of assassins. Priyanka Chopra takes on the role of Noel Bisset, a senior MI6 agent who comes to their aid. Despite its strong cast and solid action set pieces, the film never fully embraces its absurd premise, which ultimately holds it back.</p><h2>Missed opportunities</h2><p>Directed by Ilya Naishuller, known for helming action hits like <i>Hardcore Henry</i> and<i> Nobody</i>, Heads of State never quite lives up to its potential and ends up being a one-time watch at best. For some reason, the film chooses to walk an awkward middle ground between a fun action movie and a serious action drama, a choice that does not work and pulls you out of the experience, especially in its early stages.</p><h2>Chemistry takes time</h2><p>The chemistry between John Cena and Idris Elba is initially rough. The movie tries to establish that their characters dislike and disrespect each other, but the execution falters because the actors adopt wildly different styles. Cena leans into classic action-movie banter, while Elba adopts a more dramatic, serious tone. Thankfully, this eventually improves as their natural charisma corrects course.</p><h2>Standout performances</h2><p>The screenplay by Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, and Harrison Query follows the typical twists and turns one might expect, but is elevated thanks to its three leads. John Cena seems to understand the assignment from the start, delivering a fun, light-hearted performance. Idris Elba takes a bit longer to find his groove, but eventually starts enjoying the ride. Priyanka Chopra impresses, especially in the film’s climax, holding her own alongside her co-stars.</p><h2>Verdict</h2><p>When Heads of State embraces its silly, over-the-top premise, it becomes entertaining, particularly in its second half, though many viewers may tune out before it gets there.

American Idol Season 23 winner Jamal Roberts has decided to decline a key to the city of Laurel, Mississippi, following a significant backlash and death threats. He turned down the key to the city of Laurel ahead of his scheduled performance at the Noir & Blanc concert on August 2, 2025, at the L.T. Ellis Centre in Laurel. Roberta has announced his decision to turn down the honour during a recent Facebook Live. Interacting with his followers, the singer said via Collider, “You have people sharing the post, making threats, talking about they’ll have guns at the event.

Combs, 55, faces life in prison if convicted on five federal charges that include racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation for purposes of prostitution.

The jury in the sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs ended its first day of deliberations Monday without reaching a decision on whether the rap mogul used his wealth and influence to force women into drug-fueled sexual performances with escorts. The New York jury will reconvene Tuesday at 9:00 am (1300 GMT). Jurors are tasked with weighing evidence presented over the trial's past seven weeks, ranging from lurid testimony about sex sessions to stacks of phone and financial records. Combs, 55, faces life in prison if convicted on five federal charges that include racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation for purposes of prostitution. The producer and entrepreneur, once one of the most powerful people in the music industry, denies the charges. On Friday, his lawyer vied to skewer the credibility of his accusers -- namely two women he dated for years -- saying they were out for money, while rejecting any notion that the musician led a criminal ring. But in their final argument, prosecutors tore into the defense, saying Combs's team had "contorted the facts endlessly." Prosecutor Maurene Comey told jurors that by the time Combs had committed his clearest-cut offenses, "he was so far past the line he couldn't even see it." "In his mind he was untouchable," she told the court. "The defendant never thought that the women he abused would have the courage to speak out loud what he had done to them." "That ends in this courtroom," she said. "The defendant is not a god." Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo scoffed at the picture painted by prosecutors of a violent, domineering man who fostered "a climate of fear." Combs is a "self-made, successful Black entrepreneur" who had romantic relationships that were "complicated" but consensual, Agnifilo said. Manipulation The defense has conceded that Combs at times beat his partners -- but insisted the domestic violence does not amount to the sex trafficking or racketeering he is charged with. Key to the prosecution's case were witnesses Casandra Ventura and a woman who testified under the pseudonym Jane, both of whom described abuse, threats and coercive sex in wrenching detail. In their closing arguments, the defense dissected their accounts and at times even mocked them, insisting the women were adults making choices that were best for them. Prosecutor Comey snapped back at that notion, saying the women were "manipulated" into "brazen" acts of sex trafficking. Ventura and Jane both said they experienced emotional manipulation and threats that made them feel obliged to meet Combs's sexual demands. Throughout the trial, jurors were shown voluminous phone records, including messages from both women that Agnifilo argued implied consent. But prosecutors said those messages did not paint the whole picture, and referenced testimony from a forensic psychologist who explained to jurors how victims become ensnared by abusers. Central to their case is the claim that Combs led a criminal enterprise of senior employees who "existed to serve his needs" and enforced his power with offenses including forced labor, kidnapping, bribery, witness tampering and arson. But Agnifilo underscored that none of those individuals testified against Combs, nor were they named as co-conspirators. Many witnesses were given immunity orders so they could speak without fear of incriminating themselves. To convict Combs on racketeering, jurors must find that prosecutors showed beyond reasonable doubt that he agreed with people within his organization to commit at least two of the eight crimes forming the racketeering charge. The eight men and four women must reach a unanimous decision, deciding either a guilty or not guilty verdict on each count.
