It's large but not loud. As per celebrity jewellery expert Priyanshu Goel, who analysed the ring on his Instagram story, "The centre is a lozenge portrait-cut diamond of around 2 ct, and around it sit eight custom portrait-cut diamonds shaped like petals. It looks effortless on her hand, but the engineering behind it is extremely complex. Only a few workshops in the world cut and assemble portrait diamonds at this level."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/david-beckham-wishes-samantha-ruth-prabhu-as-she-marries-filmmaker-raj-nidimoru-1764664153347"><strong>David Beckham wishes Samantha Ruth Prabhu as she marries filmmaker Raj Nidimoru</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Reportedly, portrait-cut diamonds have a regal lineage.

India's Citadel: Honey Bunny earns nomination in Critics Choice Award 2025; check the full list here

<p>Is there something called an overdose of spyverse? If there is, I am one of the first victims of it. Too many spyverses are in play in pop culture and quite honestly none offer anything new. In Prime Video's latest series<em> Citadel: Honey Bunny&nbsp;</em>– an Indian prequel to Russo Brothers' Citadel featuring Priyanka Chopra – the action sequences are in plenty and almost relentless yet seem repetitive. Raj &amp; DK have spoiled us with <em>The Family Man</em>, a sharp series where wit and action were quick on their heels. In <em>Citadel: Honey Bunny</em> – the lead pair Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan give their all to the action sequences and perform some awe-inspiring stunts, yet the series lacks the thrills. Mostly.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Set in 1992 and 2000, with a non-linear narrative,<em> Citadel: Honey Bunny</em> begins with Samantha fighting goons double her size. She and her daughter Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar) are on the run from men who have a connection with Honey's&nbsp;(Samantha) past. In the 1990s, Honey, an aspiring actress, had befriended stuntman Bunny on a film set. She is soon inducted into a surveillance agency by 'agent' Bunny. The agency is run by 'Baba' (Kay Kay Menon) and Bunny seems to be the leader of the motley pack of agents, leading a covert operation where a device needs to be stolen from a scientist at a convention in Belgrade.</p>

<p>Honey is initially inducted to act as a Honeytrap, but a quick recap of her past tells us that she is built for bigger things and can be an equally good agent, much like the boys. Even as Baba is weary of including a woman in the team, Honey and Bunny, along with Chakko and Ludo ( the other two agents), set out on a difficult task to acquire the disk, which the rival agency, too, is in need of.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Things changed in the covert operation in Belgrade in 1992, and in 2000, both Honey and Bunny had to pay for their mistakes. Honey, in her family man-esque avatar, will do anything to protect her daughter Nadia, who has been trained for ultimate escape from a young age.</p>

<p>Written and directed by Raj, DK, and Sita Menon, the series is a prelude to the Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden series. The good news is that the Indian version is sharper than the one made by the Russo Brothers. The bad news is that it still isn't a very consistent thriller series. It has its moments, which mostly involve the leading lady Samantha Ruth Prabhu in her feisty avatar, but overall the series appears too repetitive, running low on suspense and thrills.&nbsp;<br />

<p>Varun Dhawan, in his digital debut, tries to do away with his loverboy image to play the tough action hero who is a tough nut to crack. But Dhawan never really shines as Bunny partly because makers concentrate on making Honey the fearless heroine, desperate to keep her daughter away from her past. Samantha's role is way more flexed out than Varun's.&nbsp;The actor plays Bunny, whose character gets very little layers.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Raj &amp; DK's films and series have always had an underlying sly humour running throughout the narrative. The two also manage to give hat tips to Bollywood through their characters. Honey Boney lacks even in these departments where the writing mostly focuses on action and invests less in emotions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The series does have its special moments. The young Kashvi is crackling in her role as the young Nadia – aware of her mother's dangerous past and always eager to be her sidekick. Scenes involving Samantha and Kashvi are warm. Samantha's schemes with a scientist (Thalaivasaai Vijay) with whom she forges a friendship to acquire the disk also perform well.</p>

<p>I do wish Varun and Samantha's chemistry was tapped more – the two feed off each other well even though they share limited screen space.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<em>Citadel: Honey Bunny </em>isn't Raj &amp; DK's best work but it isn't the worst either. It gloriously presents Samantha and the actress delivers&nbsp;her part well. The thriller is inconsistent with its storytelling but still better than the terribly boring original series.</p>

<p><em>Citadel: Honey Bunny </em>is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.</p>

Citadel: Honey Bunny Review - Varun Dhawan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu pack a punch or two in a middling series

<p>Ahead of his wedding with actress Sobhita Dhulipala, actor Naga Chaitanya deleted the last post he had of his ex-wife Samantha on his Instagram. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu announced their separation in 2021 after being married for four years.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Earlier this year in August Chaitanya and Sobhita announced their engagement. Eagle-eyed fans spotted the actor had three posts related to his ex-wife on Instagram at that time. One was the post announcing their separation in October 2021. Another was a poster of Majili from December 2018, which saw them both in lead roles. Both still remain on his feed.<br />
<br />
The third post he still had up was a picture taken on a race track. “Throwback…Mrs and the girlfriend,” he had written, posting a picture of them both standing near a race car. The photo had the two with their back towards the camera.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The photo in question:&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><img alt="g" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3f98d976-8bd0-47a4-b074-5fdf4045a5ab" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202024-10-28T141816.134.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Miffed fans of Samantha asked him to delete the post out of respect after he announced his engagement to Sobhita. The picture was up on his feed till recently, but it looks like it has now been deleted before his wedding to Sobhita. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>About #ChaySam</strong><br />
<br />
Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu dated on and off for a few years before getting married in Goa in 2017. The couple was collectively known as #ChaySam by their fans. In 2021, they split owing to personal reasons.</p>

<p>Also read:<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/naga-chaitanya-posts-photo-with-sobhita-dhulipala-turns-off-comments-769040"> Naga Chaitanya posts photo with Sobhita Dhulipala; turns off comments</a><br />
<br />
In May 2023 when news surfaced that Chaitanya was dating Sobhita, he said in an interview, “Just for headlines, they’re linking my name to some third person and speculating more. This has really hurt me a lot. For no reason or fault at all of the third party, they’re being dragged into this whole issue. Whatever happened has happened, they should let go.”</p>

Ahead of his wedding with actress Sobhita Dhulipala, actor Naga Chaitanya deleted the last post he had of his ex-wife Samantha on his Instagram. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu announced their separation in 2021 after being married for four years.

Ahead of his wedding with actress Sobhita Dhulipala, actor Naga Chaitanya deleted the last post he had of his ex-wife Samantha on his Instagram. Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu announced their separation in 2021 after being married for four years. Earlier this year in August Chaitanya and Sobhita announced their engagement. Eagle-eyed fans spotted the actor had three posts related to his ex-wife on Instagram at that time. One was the post announcing their separation in October 2021. Another was a poster of Majili from December 2018, which saw them both in lead roles. Both still remain on his feed. The third post he still had up was a picture taken on a race track. “Throwback…Mrs and the girlfriend,” he had written, posting a picture of them both standing near a race car. The photo had the two with their back towards the camera. The photo in question: Miffed fans of Samantha asked him to delete the post out of respect after he announced his engagement to Sobhita. The picture was up on his feed till recently, but it looks like it has now been deleted before his wedding to Sobhita. About #ChaySam Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu dated on and off for a few years before getting married in Goa in 2017. The couple was collectively known as #ChaySam by their fans. In 2021, they split owing to personal reasons.

This has really hurt me a lot. For no reason or fault at all of the third party, they’re being dragged into this whole issue. Whatever happened has happened, they should let go.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sobhita (@sobhitad) × View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sobhita (@sobhitad) × The couple are set to get married this year although exact date has not been announced.

Naga Chaitanya removes last post related to ex Samantha ahead of his wedding with Sobhita Dhulipala

<p>Telangana Forest and Environment Minister Konda Surekha has been ordered by a local court to remove the social media posts linking Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao to the divorce of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The order came after Rao filed a Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 Billion) defamation case against Surekha in the city civil court in Hyderabad.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Earlier this month, State Minister Surekha irked many as she alleged that KTR was the "reason behind the Naga-Samantha split up" in 2021.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She claimed that KTR allegedly tapped the phones of actresses and blackmailed them, and he was behind the divorce of the actors.<br />
<br />
In her post, she claimed, "Tt is KT Rama Rao, because of whom Samantha's divorce happened... He was a minister at that time and used to tap the phones of the actresses and then find their weaknesses to blackmail them... He used to make them drug addicts and then do this... Everyone knows this, Samantha, Naga Chaitanya, his family—everybody is aware that such a thing happened."<br />
<br />
Both Samantha and Naga Chaitanya refuted her claims, slamming her in statements released by them. They termed her remarks as, "absolutely ridiculous" and also asked the minister to be "responsible and respectful of individuals' privacy."<br />
<br />
Chaitanya's father and famous Telugu actor Akkineni Nagarjuna also filed a defamation suit against Surekha, alleging that the minister's remarks damaged his family's reputation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Several actors and filmmakers from the Telugu film industry including Chiranjeevi, SS Rajamouli, Junior NTR, Mahesh Babu, and Vijay Devarkonda slammed the Congress leader for her remarks.<br />
<br />
Following a&nbsp;massive backlash, Surkeha later apologised. In the apology, she said, "I spoke about a family. It was an unexpected slip of the tongue on my part. When I saw their tweets, I felt bad. When I realised that, I felt bad that I hurt someone. So I unconditionally withdraw my statement. But in KTR's case, there is no going back. I demand his apology."</p>

‘Witches are women...’: Kangana Ranaut gets support from Samantha Ruth Prabhu for THIS

<p>Expect fireworks when the Russo Brothers and Raj &amp; DK collaborate on a thriller. The highly anticipated trailer of <em>Citadel: Honey Bunny </em>was released on Tuesday, raising curiosity a few notches higher.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The Indian series born from the world of <em>Citadel</em> is directed by Raj &amp; DK (Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK) and written by Sita R&nbsp;Menon, Raj &amp; DK. The series marks Varun Dhawan's digital debut while Samantha makes a comeback in the OTT space once again after <em>Family Man 2.&nbsp;</em><br />
<br />
The trailer of <em>Citadel: Honey Bunny </em>gives a peek into the exhilarating and riveting spy thriller set against the backdrop of the ’90s. The trailer features explosive action, high-octane stunts, and edge-of-your-seat excitement, all perfectly complemented by exceptional performances and a grand visual scale.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
When stuntman Bunny (Varun Dhawan) recruits struggling actress Honey (Samantha) for a side gig, they are hurled into a high-stakes world of action, espionage, and betrayal. Years later, as their dangerous past catches up, the estranged Honey and Bunny must reunite and fight to protect their young daughter Nadia.<br />
The series also features Kay Kay Menon, along with an exciting ensemble cast that includes Simran, Saqib Saleem, Sikandar Kher, Soham Majumdar, Shivankit Parihar, and Kashvi Majmundar.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The series is produced by D2R Films, Amazon MGM Studios, and executive produced by the Russo Brothers’ AGBO.&nbsp;Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Scott Nemes from AGBO, alongside David Weil (Hunters), executive produce Citadel: Honey Bunny and all series within the world of Citadel.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
<em>Citadel: Honey Bunny</em> is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video in India and across more than 240 countries on November 7.</p>

<p>"Bunny is unlike any role I’ve played before. As a spy, he not only leads a double life, but every aspect of his personality has two distinct sides, which was very exciting for me as an actor. Intricately woven into the storyline, his portrayal required me to draw on a blend of experiences and characters I’ve embodied over the years, as well as mentally and physically prepare for the gruelling stunts and amped-up action scenes, making it one of my most challenging performances yet. And I am deeply grateful to Prime Video, Raj &amp; DK, and AGBO for the opportunity to bring Bunny to life,” said Varun Dhawan.</p>

<p><br />
Samantha said, "The opportunity to be part of an action-packed entertainer with a gripping storyline, rich character depth, and intense hand-to-hand combats and stunts that rival international standards, along with the prospect to play an integral role in this collection of connected spy stories, is what drew me to this project. The challenges and efforts required to bring Honey to life have left a profound impact on me, both professionally and personally, making it one of the most significant roles of my career. I’m confident that the audience will thoroughly enjoy this series, not just in India but across the many countries and territories where it will stream on Prime Video."</p>

Expect fireworks when the Russo Brothers and Raj & DK collaborate on a thriller. The highly anticipated trailer of Citadel: Honey Bunny was released on Tuesday, raising curiosity a few notches higher. The Indian series born from the world of Citadel is directed by Raj & DK (Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK) and written by Sita R Menon, Raj & DK. The series marks Varun Dhawan's digital debut while Samantha makes a comeback in the OTT space once again after Family Man 2. The trailer of Citadel: Honey Bunny gives a peek into the exhilarating and riveting spy thriller set against the backdrop of the ’90s. The trailer features explosive action, high-octane stunts, and edge-of-your-seat excitement, all perfectly complemented by exceptional performances and a grand visual scale. When stuntman Bunny (Varun Dhawan) recruits struggling actress Honey (Samantha) for a side gig, they are hurled into a high-stakes world of action, espionage, and betrayal. Years later, as their dangerous past catches up, the estranged Honey and Bunny must reunite and fight to protect their young daughter Nadia.

Also read: Amit Sharma on Maidaan's box office performance, Laapata Laddies & Oscars Citadel: Honey Bunny is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video in India and across more than 240 countries on November 7. "Bunny is unlike any role I’ve played before. As a spy, he not only leads a double life, but every aspect of his personality has two distinct sides, which was very exciting for me as an actor. Intricately woven into the storyline, his portrayal required me to draw on a blend of experiences and characters I’ve embodied over the years, as well as mentally and physically prepare for the gruelling stunts and amped-up action scenes, making it one of my most challenging performances yet. And I am deeply grateful to Prime Video, Raj & DK, and AGBO for the opportunity to bring Bunny to life,” said Varun Dhawan. Samantha said, "The opportunity to be part of an action-packed entertainer with a gripping storyline, rich character depth, and intense hand-to-hand combats and stunts that rival international standards, along with the prospect to play an integral role in this collection of connected spy stories, is what drew me to this project. The challenges and efforts required to bring Honey to life have left a profound impact on me, both professionally and personally, making it one of the most significant roles of my career. I’m confident that the audience will thoroughly enjoy this series, not just in India but across the many countries and territories where it will stream on Prime Video."
