In a heartfelt tribute to mark the 100th birth anniversary of the legendary playback singer Mohammed Rafi, Whistling Woods International and its Chairman Subhash Ghai announced the launch of the Mohd Rafi Music Scholarship at the inaugural ceremony of Cadence Music Festival 2025 on Monday. The evening witnessed an emotional and celebratory atmosphere as industry veterans and dignitaries came together to honour the icon. The scholarship was announced in the presence of Shahid Mohd. Rafi, son of the legendary singer. Subhash Ghai, who was deeply moved during the event, shared a personal memory saying, "In this world, there were very few like Mohd. Rafi Saahab. Thank you to the students of Whistling Woods International for organising 'Cadence.' Thank you to Sonu ji, Mohd. Shahid ji, and Ashish ji for gracing the stage. I was roughly eight when someone asked me, 'Can you sing?' and I hummed Rafi Saahab's song. Rafi Saahab's voice had a soul, and through this scholarship, we aim to inspire the next generation of singers." Sonu Nigam paid a glowing tribute, saying, "Rafi Saahab is an institution. There wouldn't be any singer today who hasn't learned from him. Just yesterday I was having a brief discussion with my father about how Rafi Saahab has shaped an entire generation. The way he modulated his voice, there's no match. There are very few singers who had a divine voice—one of them was Lata ji and the other was Rafi Saahab." Shahid Mohd. Rafi, emotionally moved, concluded the evening by saying, "Thank you Subhash ji for this honour. Abba Huzoor was a disciplined person, he never attended any parties, he was dedicated only and only to music. And I hope through this scholarship we will inspire the future singer." The Mohd Rafi Music Scholarship will be awarded to a student from the Whistling Woods School of Music, with the aim of nurturing exceptional musical talent and keeping Rafi Saahab’s timeless legacy alive.

I might be able to be mature a bit later and say that it is what it is. Right now, it just breaks my heart to say good bye. Mukta Dhond and her team of writers have etched an exemplary story and many exemplary characters. My favourite thing is that Amruta Bhavani Chitnis continues to use her maiden name even after marriage. Virat Singh Ahuja has emerged as the greenest of flags. Bhavani Chitnis is a businesswoman.

06 May,2025 08:26 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentBringing Punjabi pride and royalty to Hollywood's biggest fashion event, the Met Gala 2025, singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh won hearts as he walked the iconic stairs of the Metropolitan Museum wearing a turban (a symbol of Sikh identity), a kurta and a the mat (a log tunic and draped bottoms). Diljit's team denied Maharaja's personal jewellery for MET To pay tribute to Sir Bhupinder Singh, the early 20th-century Maharaja of Patiala, the Diljit team revealed that they wanted to bring the homage closer by actually wearing the Maharaja's personal jewellery, but they were denied, as reported by The New York Times. In 1928, the prince commissioned Cartier to make him a 1,000-carat diamond necklace--the largest necklace the French jeweller had ever made. The necklace is reportedly worth Rs 21 crore. In an interview with The New York Times, Ms. Devnani said that they tried to borrow that iconic Cartier necklace--a 1,000-carat diamond necklace made for the Maharaja of Patiala--for the Met Gala night to complete Diljit's look. However, they were denied as it sits sealed in a museum, so she commissioned the Indian jeweller Golecha to create jewellery inspired by the prince's collection, including a turban brooch. Despite the absence of the iconic Cartier necklace, the singer elevated his traditional look with a jewel-studded turban and a layered diamond necklace by Golecha's Jewels. The Punjabi singer pays homage to his tradition as he graces the MET carpet with a traditional turned royal attire; a turban (a symbol of Sikh identity), a kurta, and a tehmat (a long tunic and draped bottoms) along with a long cape. His cape drew piqued interest and attention among people. Diljit also carried a lion-headed, jewel-studded kirpan (sword). One fan accurately describes his whole look, “Giving MAHARAJA, not costume. Just culture. UNTOUCHABLE.” He carries the 'Indian' with him as he steals spotlight with his entrance. View this post on Instagram A post shared by VOGUE India (@vogueindia) Hours after marking his iconic presence at Met Gala, Diljit took to Instagram and proudly flaunted his Punjabi culture, writing, "Main Hoon Punjab #metgala Inspired by The Theme of Black Dandyism, I Bring My Turban, My Culture & My Mother Tongue " pNjaabii " to The MET GALA Thank You So Much Dear @prabalgurung @theannawintour @cartier @golecha_jewels @abhilashatd."

She played spot the difference on social media while sharing pictures of Khan at the MET Gala and a similar look of hers.

The diva decided to keep the makeup on the lighter side, with her hair tied in a ponytail. As soon as the post was up, netizens flooded the comment section with lovely remarks such as, "And pleaseeeee make a movie together now!!!!! We miss you!!!!", "No difference kajol, he is the King, and you are the Queen", and "His K necklace is definitely a reference to you, @kajol."

Asked to describe his look on the gala's blue carpet, the actor told reporters it was designer Sabyasachi who conceived it "as an expression of freedom and trying to be resolute and resilient against things that can oppress you". Was Shah Rukh familiar with the Met Gala and its theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', a homage to Black fashion, before he was set to make his debut? "Honestly, no. In the last 20 days, I got to understand what it (Met Gala) was and being an actor, I thought it (the theme of Black Style) was interesting... The resolve to change things without aggression or anger but have exuberance of art in it... I thought it was marvellous," he said. (with inputs from IANS)

06 May,2025 04:08 PM IST | Mumbai | ANIOn Tuesday, Neha took to her Instagram handle and shared a video from her Melbourne concert, addressing the ongoing controversy. In the clip, she can be heard saying, “Hi, you want to know what actually happened at the Melbourne show, right? Let me show you.” The video then cuts to vibrant scenes of the concert, with a cheering crowd dancing and singing along as Neha performs her chart-topping hits. Sharing this video, the singer wrote, “Thank you Melbourne!”. Through this post, Neha appeared to dismiss the allegations made by event organizers, who claimed she refused to perform due to a small crowd. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Neha Kakkar (@nehakakkar) A few days ago, Australian event organizers Pace D and Bikram Singh Randhawa pushed back against Neha Kakkar’s explanation of the Melbourne concert controversy, insisting her version of events is inaccurate. In a recent interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, they claimed that the singer declined to perform due to a relatively small crowd of around 700 attendees. The organizers explained that Neha had been scheduled for back-to-back shows with the same team—one in Sydney and one in Melbourne. While the Sydney concert drew a crowd of 1,500 to 2,000 people and went off smoothly, they allege she was unhappy with the Melbourne turnout and opted not to go on stage. The event planners were quoted saying, “The crowd was very angry at her because they had been waiting for hours. What I got to know from the organizer was that she said that there are just 700 people, so until you fill up the stadium, I won't perform.” Responding to Neha Kakkar’s allegations about the lack of a sound check and unpaid sound engineers, event organizers Pace D and Bikram Singh Randhawa dismissed the claims, stating that opening acts had already performed and all technical arrangements were in place. They also denied her claims about inadequate hospitality, including the absence of food, water, and accommodation. The organizers maintained that hotel arrangements had been made in advance, and several cars were lined up for transportation, suggesting that the necessary provisions were indeed in place. Earlier in March, singer Neha Kakkar became embroiled in controversy following a troubled concert appearance in Melbourne. She reportedly arrived nearly three hours behind schedule, which sparked disappointment and frustration among concertgoers. The crowd, upset by the delay, began booing and calling for her to leave the stage. Emotionally shaken by the reaction, Neha broke down mid-performance. In the aftermath, Neha took to social media to present her version of events. She alleged that the organizers were responsible for major logistical failures, including abandoning the venue without clearing her payment. She also claimed her team was left without basic arrangements, such as accommodation, meals, or even drinking water—issues she said severely impacted the show’s outcome.
