Dressed in a checkered black-and-white top and flaunting her curly pig-tails, Adira looks cute as a button as she straddles on her nanny’s arm. While we are often flooded with pictures of other Bollywood munchkins like Taimur, Misha and Inaaya, this rare opportunity of catching a glimpse of Adira was too tempting to let go. Speaking to news agency PTI, Rani had earlier mentioned that she wanted Adira to have a normal childhood. "When you have that kind of attention, we try that if she is on a beach with her friends, or she is going to a park, she should go unnoticed, without anyone around her saying, 'Oh! she is the daughter of so and so.' We are trying our level best to achieve that," Rani had said. virat-kohli-set-to-become-father-Read full artical On the work front, Rani Mukerji’s upcoming film Hichki, in which she plays an aspiring school teacher struggling with Tourette's syndrome, is scheduled to release on March 23, 2018.

Heart failure—a condition in which the heart becomes too weak to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs—rises with age The study found that women above 60 years of age were three times more prone to heart failure risk. The paper presented in at the American College of Cardiology's 67th Annual Scientific Session, noted that post-menopausal women who walk for 40 minutes or more at a time had a 21 to 25 per cent lower risk of heart failure than those taking shorter walks Women walking at an average or fast pace showed a 26 and 38 per cent lower risk of heart failure, respectively, compared with women who walked at a casual pace.

The Oscars, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel for the second consecutive year, will air live in India on Monday on Star Movies and Star Movies Select HD. Los Angeles : After the Best Picture mix-up last year, stars Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are again expected to present the top honour at the 90th Academy Awards here on Sunday. They were spotted rehearsing at the Dolby Theatre here for the ceremony, reports hollywoodreporter.com.  The duo got on the stage in 2017, timed to the 50th anniversary of "Bonnie and Clyde", but after an envelope mix-up by on-site accountants from PricewaterhouseCoopers, the award was mistakenly given to "La La Land" over "Moonlight". The Oscar envelope that Dunaway read from was the Best Actress category. "I opened the envelope and it said 'Emma Stone, La La Land'. That's why I looked at Faye, and at you. I wasn't trying to be funny," Beatty clarified on stage at the time. In Janu...

Oscars 2018: The pathbreaking visuals of War for the Planet of the Apes have to be seen to be believed

War for the Planet of the Apes is not only a great film, it is also a pinnacle in motion-capture technology and if War for the Planet of the Apes does not deserve the Oscar for VFX,  The important thing to know about Matt Reeves’s Planet of the Apes series is that when you look at the superb rendition of apes, you forget that you are looking at computer-generated imagery complemented by motion-capture acting performed by actual humans. But War for the Planet of the Apes, the third film and probably the conclusion of the trilogy, pushed the envelope even further and the apes in that movie looked so uncannily lifelike that it was almost surreal to watch the film on the big screen. Andy Serkis, the motion-capture actor extraordinaire who has been in this business since The Lord of the Rings trilogy in which he memorably played the role of Gollum, knows his craft like no other. First, a little introduction to the series for those who are unacquainted. Serkis’s ...
