New Delhi:

Twinkle Khanna announced her new book Welcome To Paradise earlier this week. Through back-to-back Instagram posts, she kept her fans updated about the release of Welcome To Paradise, which is Twinkle’s fourth book. The actress-turned-author revealed on Saturday that she has dedicated the new book to her grandmother. Twinkle walked down memory lane and shared a series of throwback pictures of herself with her grandmother. The series began with a monochrome click, showing young Twinkle sitting with her grandmother, who is reading her a book. In the next picture, the two were seen knitting together. The series concluded with a photo of Twinkle and her grandmother taking a bus ride. Along with the post, Twinkle Khanna wrote, “It’s such a privilege to grow up around your grandparents. They remind us of where we’ve come from while we focus on our journey forward.”

Twinkle Khanna added, “Welcome To Paradise is dedicated to my grandmother, whose impact on my life cannot be quantified. ‘Jelly Sweets’ from the collection is based on the stories she told me about her mother and her childhood in Satpati. She also taught me how to knit, crochet, and ignore annoying people by pretending to be deaf. What is the most important lesson your grandmother taught you?”

A few days back, Twinkle Khanna shared a few pictures of pages from her book with a note that read, “Welcome to Paradise, my 4th book, is a collection of stories that explore the depths of heartbreak, relationships, and deception. Some of these characters have lived inside my head for the last five years, and now they are ready to meet all of you.”

Meanwhile, Twinkle Khanna attended an event with her husband Akshay Kumar in London. ICYMI: Twinkle has recently completed her Master’s degree from the University of London. The couple also met British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the event. In a montage video, Twinkle and Akshay are seen posing with the UK Prime Minister. Along with the post, she wrote, “As much as I dislike wearing heels and dressing up, this evening was worth all the damaged toes. Sudha Murthy remains my hero, but it was pretty cool meeting her son-in-law, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Also, put the sound on and hear Andrea Bocelli. Congratulations Anu Hinduja.”

Rishi Sunak is married to Sudha Murthy and Narayana Murthy’s daughter Akshata.

When Priyanka Chopra Said She Saw ‘Demi-God’ Like Hysteria Around Vijay During Her Debut Film Thamizhan

Priyanka Chopra made her debut with the Tamil film Thamizhan (2002) opposite Tamil superstar Vijay, the newly elected Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. While Vijay has been in the headlines for his blockbuster political debut, Priyanka Chopra’s praise for him has resurfaced online. In a recent interview, Priyanka said she tasted her first brush with fame while working with Vijay on the film.

On Sunday, Vijay took oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after his party TVK emerged as the single majority party winning 108 seats this Assembly Election. 

In a 2026 interview on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Priyanka was asked about her debut film.

‘Vijay Is Extremely Popular’

“It was a movie called Thamizhan in the Tamil language in India. I learned phonetically because it was impossible to learn a new language. But I memorized my lines. My first exposure to fame came from my first co-actor. His name is Vijay, who’s extremely popular. There used to be hundreds and hundreds of people standing there to watch him while he was dancing or doing his thing. It was my first movie, and I had no idea what happens behind the scenes—we just saw what we saw in movie theaters. I remember thinking it must feel like being a demi-god,” Priyanka said on the podcast.

‘Priyanka Couldn’t Match Steps With Vijay’

In an earlier interview with Filmygyan, Priyanka’s mother, Madhu Chopra, shared details of the debutant’s perseverance and resilience in making a lasting impression.

Madhu Chopra divulged that Priyanka didn’t initially match steps with Vijay. But Priyanka didn’t give up and practiced until it was perfect. Sharing the shooting experience, Madhu Chopra said, “When she was shooting for the film, she began to like it. Despite not knowing the language, she enjoyed it. The team helped her and treated her with a lot of respect. Vijay starred in the film; he is a perfect gentleman. Raju Sundaram was the choreographer. In dance, Priyanka was okay, but she couldn’t initially match steps with Vijay.”

She added, “She would practice with the choreographer from morning to evening. Then she started enjoying it. This also helped her build her character and realize that she wanted to pursue this as a career.”

Directed by debutant Majith and produced by G. Venkateswaran, Thamizhan became a commercial success.

The story revolves around a lawyer named Surya who curbs corruption cases, fights a criminal boss, and finally makes the basics of Indian law available as a free book to common people.

Rakul Preet Singh’s Viral Gir Safari Video Sparks Debate, Officials Issue Statement

Actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Rakul Preet Singh, along with the team of Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, recently visited Gir National Park for a jungle safari ahead of their film’s release. However, the visit soon drew attention online after a video of Rakul circulated widely on social media.

The clip showed the actress walking near a safari vehicle, prompting speculation among internet users about whether wildlife regulations had been violated, as visitors are typically prohibited from stepping out of their vehicles inside protected forest zones.

Following the online debate, officials from Gir National Park issued a clarification, stating that the incident did not occur within the restricted sanctuary area.

In an official statement, park authorities said, “We have already issued a clarification regarding this video through our official Twitter handle. We clarified that the video is from outside the entry point of the Sasan Sanctuary. Every sanctuary has a designated entry point for visitors entering the protected area. The viral video was shot outside that point. Therefore, we clarified that the incident did not take place inside the restricted zone.”

They further explained the standard protocol followed inside the sanctuary and why no rules were breached in this case.

“As per the rules, once inside the sanctuary, no one is allowed to step out of their safari vehicle. In the viral visuals, she is seen outside the entry point area, after which she left and returned. Rakul Preet Singh had come with her team for a planned sanctuary visit. However, before entering the sanctuary, she experienced a medical issue. Due to this, her team took her back, and she did not enter the sanctuary premises.”

Reiterating that the actress never entered the protected zone, the officials concluded, “Our restricted zone begins only after the sanctuary entry point. No rules were violated. We have already clarified this through our official Twitter handle.”
