Does Kareena Kapoor Fast During Ramadan? Bebo's Viral Video On Instagram Sparks Debate

A two-year-old video of Kareena Kapoor has resurfaced on Instagram and is once again drawing widespread attention. In the clip, a reporter asks the actor whether she observes fasts during Ramadan. Kareena responds candidly, saying she does not fast and jokingly adds that she is “eating 24/7”. While the video itself is not new, its renewed circulation has triggered a lively debate online, with social media users divided over the question and the reactions to her answer. Viral Clip Resurfaces The video, originally recorded at a media interaction, shows Kareena Kapoor responding in her usual light-hearted manner when asked about fasting during Ramadan. Her straightforward reply-“I don’t fast at all”-has become the focal point of the renewed discussion. As the clip gained traction on Instagram, thousands of users weighed in through comments and reposts. Many defended the actor, arguing that the question itself was unnecessary. Some pointed out that Kareena was raised in a Hindu household and questioned why such a query was directed at her in the first place. Others said that personal faith and religious practices should remain private matters and not form part of routine celebrity questioning. Debate Over ‘Double Standards’ The viral post has also prompted a broader discussion about perceived double standards. Several users asked whether similar questions would be posed to her husband, Saif Ali Khan, about observing Hindu fasts such as Ekadashi. This line of argument has amplified the debate beyond the original clip. At the same time, some commenters expressed the view that celebrities, like anyone else, are not obliged to publicly discuss their religious practices. The conversation has therefore shifted from Kareena’s response to the wider issue of whether such questions are appropriate at all.

Most IPL Player of the Match Awards In History: Top 5 Match-Winners Ranked

IPL Records: Since its launch in 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has become a spectacle synonymous with high drama, elite skill, and unforgettable individual brilliance. Season after season, the tournament has produced performances that have redefined the standards of T20 cricket and captivated audiences across the globe. Fans witnessed breathtaking centuries under pressure, last-over finishes that shifted momentum in a matter of seconds, and bowling spells that turned certain defeat into improbable victory. IPL's unique mix of international stars and domestic talent has created a fiercely competitive environment where every match carries the potential for something extraordinary. With that said, let's take a look at the top 5 players to have won the most Player of the Match awards so far in the tournament. IPL Records: Most Player Of The Match Awards 5) David Warner & MS Dhoni David Warner and MS Dhoni have been two very successful captains in the IPL. The former is the only skipper to have led a title-winning campaign through the Eliminator route, while the latter has won the tournament on five occasions. The two have also had some remarkable outings with the bat, winning matches on their own accord, and have won 18 Player of the Match awards. 4) Virat Kohli A step ahead of David Warner and MS Dhoni is RCB legend Virat Kohli, who after 18 years, won his maiden IPL title with the franchise.  While he tops run-scoring charts, he ranked fourth on the list of players having won most Player of the Match awards in the league with 19 wins. 3) Rohit Sharma Up next is another Indian cricket legend, Rohit Sharma, who has won the most IPL titles as an individual, one with the now defunct Deccan Chargers, and five with the Mumbai Indians (MI). He is a destructive opening batsman, having won 21 Player of the Match awards in the league thus far, still remaining very active like Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. 2) Chris Gayle At the number two spot is West Indian cricket legend Chris Gayle, who would send shivers down bowlers' spines in his prime.  Having established some serious run-scoring records in the IPL, Gayle has also won 22 Player of the Match awards, having represented RCB, KKR, and PBKS during his career. 1) AB de Villiers The player with the most Player of the Match awards, defining his individual excellence in cricket, is South African legend AB de Villiers with 25 awards to his name. He started his career with the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), but truly shined with RCB. While he never won the trophy, de Villiers lit up the tournament with his remarkable power-hitting, and impeccable fielding.

2027 Toyota Fortuner Spied: New Design, Hybrid Tech, India Launch Next Year

2027 Toyota Fortuner Spied: New Design, Hybrid Tech, India Launch Next Year

The new generation Fortuner will probably come to India next year being a crucial launch for India. The current Fortuner still sells in huge numbers while that will increase with the new generation model bringing in a huge number of changes. Being based on the new generation Hilux, the new Fortuner still retains its IMV platform but it now meets electrification in the form of hybrids. Sped for the first time in Thailand, the new Fortuner is a larger change over the earlier gen model. Powertrains and India Plans In India, expect a petrol and a diesel at launch although Toyota could surprise us by getting a hybrid Fortuner too which will sell more. The current petrol Fortuner is thirsty and sells in tiny numbers vs the diesel but a new petrol model for the all new generation can change things. In India we can see the new Fortuner with a 2.8l diesel and good old 2.7l petrol at start with mild hybrid for the diesel. No electric Fortuner would be made. India launch would be in 2027 for now as it will take some time for the new Fortuner to come. Design, Interior and Features The new gen Fortuner will become more premium now and will have a Lexus like look while also growing in size. It will have a longer wheelbase and tougher looks with different styling. It will be boxy but will have a new look based on the Hilux. The interior and feature list will be all new though and would be similar to the new Prado with a new dashboard plus richer materials. The current cabin would be replaced by an all new one with a larger screen, digital cluster while getting features like a sunroof for the first time. Features would be upgraded too.

IPL 2026 Shocker? MS Dhoni May Not Play Every Match For CSK

IPL 2026 Shocker? MS Dhoni May Not Play Every Match For CSK

MS Dhoni IPL 2026: As the build-up to IPL 2026 gathers pace, speculation surrounding MS Dhoni’s involvement refuses to fade. With the veteran set to turn 45 later this year, questions are once again being asked about how frequently fans will see him in action for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) this season. A top source from within the five-time champion franchise has reportedly now provided clarity on at least one aspect, Dhoni will be part of the squad for the upcoming campaign. However, whether he features in every league fixture remains uncertain. Dhoni's Full IPL 2026 Participation In Doubt Putting rumours to rest about his participation, a franchise insider confirmed to news agency PTI that the former India captain has committed to the season. "We can confirm this much that he is coming to Chennai and had confirmed his availability for the season," a top CSK source was quoted in a recent PTI report. That assurance will delight supporters, especially those who view every Dhoni appearance as a special occasion. Yet, the same source stopped short of guaranteeing his presence in all matches. "Whether he will play all games or not is something we can't say at the moment," the source added. Squad Depth Adds Selection Complexity CSK’s squad composition this year presents additional dynamics. The inclusion of Sanju Samson, traded in from Rajastan Royals (RR) strengthens the wicketkeeping department, while Urvil Patel and high-value recruit Kartik Sharma offer further options. With multiple keeper-batsmen available, team management has the flexibility to rotate depending on match conditions and workload management. The Impact Player rule has also reduced the need for Dhoni to bat extensively over the last two seasons, with his appearances often limited to brief finishing roles. Fitness, Workload & The Chepauk Factor Over the years, Dhoni has dealt with knee and back concerns, understandable given the physical strain of wicketkeeping and tight IPL schedules. Managing his workload could therefore be a strategic priority. One scenario appears more certain, fans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium can expect to see him in action. His presence at Chepauk continues to ignite unparalleled energy, reinforcing his lasting connection with the franchise and its supporters. While his exact match count remains undecided, Dhoni’s influence on IPL 2026 is already guaranteed.

2026 Maruti Brezza Set For Major Turbo Petrol Upgrade Ahead Of Festive Season Launch

Maruti Suzuki is preparing a significant mid-cycle refresh for the 2026 Brezza SUV, with the updated model expected to arrive towards the end of the year, likely around the festive period. The upcoming version is not just about cosmetic tweaks, substantial mechanical revisions are also in the pipeline. ALSO READ: Lamborghini Urus SE India Review: Still A Beast, Now Electrified New Turbo Petrol Engine Likely To Join Line-up (Image Source: Special Arrangement) The most notable development is the probable introduction of a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine, similar to the unit currently powering the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. This boosterjet engine could expand the Brezza’s appeal by offering stronger performance alongside improved efficiency. Currently, the Brezza is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol motor. If the smaller turbocharged engine is introduced, it may also benefit from a lower tax bracket due to its sub-1200cc capacity. The existing petrol engine is expected to continue, while a CNG option is also likely to remain part of the range. 6-Speed Manual Gearbox To Enhance Driving Experience The turbo petrol variant is anticipated to feature a 6-speed manual transmission, marking a step up from the current gearbox setup. This addition could improve highway cruising ability while also delivering better fuel efficiency. An automatic option remains uncertain, though a torque converter unit similar to the Fronx could be considered. Interior And Exterior Enhancements On the inside, the Brezza may adopt a larger infotainment touchscreen, similar to the one seen in newer Maruti models. Cabin revisions are also expected to enhance the overall premium feel. Externally, changes will likely be subtle, including a redesigned bumper, refreshed headlamp detailing and updated alloy wheels. More clarity on specifications and pricing is expected closer to launch.

Lamborghini Urus SE India Review: Still A Beast, Now Electrified

Lamborghini Urus SE India Review: Still A Beast, Now Electrified

The first shock you get is the silence. Not something you expect in a bright yellow Lamborghini, but the Urus SE is different. Yes, it is still a fast SUV that celebrities love, but now it is a hybrid. That means you start the car in pure electric mode, with the ability to drive up to 60km on electric power alone. Perfect for not waking up your neighbours on a Sunday morning -- and that instantly makes this a calm luxury car. The Urus was always fast, but the Urus SE, being a plug-in hybrid, now has a wider set of talents. It feels like a Lamborghini you can truly drive every day. Sure, I did try the electric mode, but soon it was a quick flick of the chunky mode switch controller and it went straight to Corsa, where the angry twin-turbo V8 came to life. On its own, the V8 develops more than 600bhp, but with the addition of an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack, the total output rises to a crazy 800bhp and 950Nm. Lamborghini Urus SE Performance As a result, the performance is wild. It goes fast without you even noticing, breaking the speed limit before you blink. With the V8 on, the sound is angry and unmistakably Lamborghini. The gearbox is fast and brutal with its shifts, while the handling is surprisingly agile for a 2.5-tonne SUV. The Urus SE feels like a supercar behind the wheel, thanks to its low-slung driving position. The ride is firm but controlled, with no fidgeting. The handling is amazing for a car of this size, and you can even raise it for extra ground clearance if you want to attempt some off-roading. Of course, I did not take this nearly Rs 5 crore SUV off-road -- and honestly, no owner probably will -- but it can do it if needed. To be fair, I was too busy enjoying the sheer speed. Lamborghini Urus SE Looks Aside from the performance, the Urus SE feels like a proper Lambo on the inside, with edgy styling and hexagons everywhere. It now gets a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen with the latest infotainment system. Thankfully, there are proper buttons too. I especially loved the fighter-jet-like start operation, complete with a red flap for extra drama. You can customise it extensively, with nearly 50 interior colour options on offer. The quality, as expected, feels special throughout. Space is surprisingly good for two passengers in the rear, despite the large central tunnel, and your friends will not complain when you take them for a drive. On the outside, the Urus SE looks slightly softer than before, but arguably better. The new front-end, slimmer headlamps and a more flowing design give it a fresh appeal. It is still unmistakably an Urus, though, and the coupe-like styling grabs attention especially in yellow. With over 100 units sold in a year, India’s wealthy buyers and celebrities clearly love Lamborghini, particularly the Urus. It sits in the garages of names like Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma and Ranveer Singh. It is easy to see why -- it combines looks, performance and practicality in a way few others can. Yes, at Rs 4.5 crore, it is expensive. But now, as a hybrid with a broader range of abilities, the Urus SE feels like the perfect super SUV for our roads. What we like: Performance, looks, practicality, handlingWhat we do not: Prices have gone up
