EXCLUSIVE: Shazahn Padamsee to wear Manish Malhotra outfit for her wedding

Shazahn Padamsee and Ashish Kanakia are set to tie the knot on June 5. While the ceremony will be an intimate affair, fans are eagerly speculating about the bride-to-be’s outfit—will it be a Sabyasachi, Falguni Shane Peacock, or Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla creation? Known for her style, the Housefull 2 actress is expected to make a high-glam statement, thoughtfully incorporating elements from her mother’s treasured pieces, rich with emotional and family significance.

For the wedding, there’s strong buzz that Rocket Singh actress Shazahn Padamsee will be wearing a custom creation by Manish Malhotra—a designer she has long admired. Like many brides, she’s always dreamed of being a Manish Malhotra bride. The designer is also behind her sangeet look, which is expected to reflect an urban-glam vibe with subtle, aesthetic detailing.

Apart from her outfits, we also know that she will be styling herself for the wedding, with inputs from her few friends. Ahead of her wedding day, Shazahn has already been closely involved in curating each look, ensuring that her choices and details reflect her taste and create an extension of her personality.

Shazahn Padamsee, daughter of Sharon Prabhakar and the late Alyque Padamsee, got engaged to Ashish Kanakia in November last year. While her engagement glimpses were nothing short of dreamy, her upcoming wedding promises to be just as magical—straight out of a fairytale.

Gabit signs Ranbir Kapoor as its brand ambassador

Bollywood’s most private superstar just made a rare public move, and it’s not on the silver screen. It’s in the debut ad campaign for GABIT’s Smart Ring — a next-gen wearable designed to help you track, act on, and improve your health, effortlessly. Built for people who want to sleep better, move more, recover faster, and take charge of their well-being, without adding another screen to their life, the GABIT Smart Ring is fast becoming the easiest way to start living healthier.

The ad film launching this week across Instagram, YouTube, OTT platforms, and more brings humour, style, and a dose of real-life relatability to a category that’s often clinical or complicated. Ranbir Kapoor, known for keeping his personal life under wraps, opens up in this campaign in a way that is refreshingly authentic.

Ranbir was a natural choice for this collaboration. He lives the lifestyle Gabit stands for — balanced, intentional, and focused on the fundamentals: fitness, nutrition, sleep, and stress. What also stands out is that Ranbir doesn’t endorse everything. He partners only with missions he truly connects with, making this collaboration not just credible but meaningful. He has even been using the Gabit Smart Ring for the last 6 months.

On why he joined GABIT, Ranbir says: “What I liked about GABIT is how effortless it makes staying healthy. No noise, no distractions. Just one smart ring that does it all – and looks good doing it.”

We believe health should be simple, sustainable, and personalised – something you actually enjoy doing. We hope to inspire millions to take that first step towards better health — with the GABIT Smart Ring.”

Arpana Shahi, Founder of Gabit, added: “Health in India has always been reactive. Something we think about only when something goes wrong. With Ranbir on board, we’re changing that story. When someone like him champions rest, recovery, and everyday health, it normalizes a new kind of wellness culture – one that’s proactive, preventive, and here to stay.”

Launched in 2024, GABIT is a longevity-focused venture backed by $9.5 million in seed funding from Norwest Venture Partners, along with angel investors including Amit Agarwal, Deepinder Goyal, and Kunal Shah. What sets GABIT apart is its full-stack ecosystem designed to empower people to live healthier and longer.

Bombay HC quashes non-bailable warrant against Arjun Rampal in tax evasion case, calls lower court order “mechanical and cryptic”

The Bombay High Court has set aside a non-bailable warrant issued against actor Arjun Rampal by a magistrate’s court in a 2019 tax-related case. The high court termed the earlier order as “mechanical,” “cryptic,” and “contrary to law,” stating it was passed without proper application of mind.

A vacation bench of Justice Advait Sethna gave the ruling on May 16 after Rampal challenged the April 9 order that directed the issuance of a non-bailable warrant. The case stems from a 2019 complaint filed by the Income Tax department under Section 276C(2) of the Income Tax Act, which pertains to the wilful failure to pay tax.

According to Rampal’s petition, his lawyer had submitted an application seeking an exemption from personal appearance before the magistrate. Despite this, the magistrate rejected the request and issued the warrant. The High Court observed that the offence involved is a bailable one, with a maximum punishment of three years, and therefore did not justify such a harsh order.

Justice Sethna remarked, “It is a cryptic order which lacks application of mind.” The court further pointed out that the magistrate failed to record any reasons before issuing the warrant and ignored the fact that Rampal’s lawyer was present in court on his behalf.

The High Court also highlighted that issuing a non-bailable warrant in such a case could unfairly harm the actor’s reputation and legal standing. It noted that the lower court’s actions overlooked key legal considerations and were not in line with established procedures.

Rampal’s counsel, advocate Swapnil Ambure, argued that both the December 2019 notice and the April 2025 warrant were arbitrary and baseless. He clarified that the full tax amount for the financial year 2016–17, which is the focus of the complaint, had been paid, albeit after some delay. “There is no tax evasion, as alleged by the department,” Ambure told the High Court.

The case will now be taken up again on June 16 for further hearing, as the court continues to review other aspects of the matter.

Salman Khan security breach: Here’s how woman fooled security and got close enough to ring the doorbell

A major security lapse at Salman Khan’s Mumbai residence has come to light after a woman managed to enter Galaxy Apartments by claiming she knew someone living there. Once inside, she went straight to the Bollywood actor’s house and rang the doorbell.

The woman has been identified as Isha Chhabra. According to a report by CNN News18, she was stopped by the building’s security near the lift area, shortly after she rang the bell at Salman’s flat. The guards handed her over to the Bandra police, and a case has been filed. She is currently being questioned, and officials are also likely to ask Galaxy Apartment residents if any of them know her.

Interestingly, this wasn’t the only breach that day. Just hours before Isha’s attempt, a man also tried to enter the actor’s home. He too was caught and taken into custody. While initial questioning suggests that Isha and the man don’t know each other, police are probing both cases for any possible link.

The incidents took place on May 20, a year after shots were fired outside Salman Khan’s residence. That attack, allegedly planned by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, had already raised serious concerns about the actor’s safety. Salman was at home during the recent breach, adding to the worry.

Following the previous year’s shooting, Salman’s security had been significantly increased. He also recorded a statement in July 2024, naming the Bishnoi gang and stating that they were trying to kill him.

With two separate trespassing attempts on the same day, questions are now being raised once again about how secure the premises really are, even with the upgraded measures in place. The Mumbai police are continuing their investigation.

Vivek Oberoi acquires 21% stake in award-winning Scottish spirits brand Rutland Square

India’s rich tea heritage will now meet Scotland’s time-honoured spirits tradition, as Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi acquires a 21% stake in Rutland Square Spirits Ltd, a premium Scottish spirits and award-winning company founded by Nishant Sharma, renowned for its oolong white tea-infused spirit. This partnership is special because it brings together two cultures and carves a distinct niche by infusing Dibrugarh’s world-famous tea leaves into its artisanal spirits. Known as the ‘Tea Capital of the World,’ Dibrugarh, along with Tinsukia and Sivasagar, collectively account for approximately 50% of India’s tea, now finding an unexpected yet seamless integration into Scotland’s premium spirits industry.

As a key milestone in this partnership, plans are underway for a net-zero luxury hotel in Edinburgh—a visionary project set to redefine sustainable hospitality in Scotland. Designed as a landmark development, this world-class retreat will seamlessly blend heritage, innovation, and a deep connection to the land, offering guests an unparalleled luxury experience amid Scotland’s breathtaking landscapes. Featuring Scotland’s first Ayurvedic wellness centre and Europe’s first hydrogen-powered facilities, it will set a new standard for luxury and sustainability.

Vivek Oberoi shared: “I am thrilled to join Rutland Square. This project is an exciting bridge between two economies and cultures. Scotland is a beautiful country with deep-rooted traditions and a strong Indian business community. I look forward to working closely with the team to bring this vision to life. This marks a new chapter in Scotland’s hospitality sector, promising a future of sustainability, heritage, and world-class experiences. Rutland Square Spirits is taking it a step further by curating a blended experience of Indian heritage. I am excited to begin the work of bringing it to life.”

Nishant Sharma, Founder and CEO and Veenu Sharma, Director of Rutland Square, said, “We are delighted to welcome Dr Vivek Oberoi to the Rutland Square family. This collaboration is a testament to the strong and growing relationship between Scotland, India, and the wider South Asian community. This partnership goes beyond an investment – we look forward to creating something special, a place that celebrates artisanal craftsmanship, cultural richness, and the warm hospitality that both Scotland and India are known for.”

This move highlights a broader trend where UK-India trade is finding a strategic sweet spot, with the food and beverage sector emerging as a key driver in strengthening bilateral ties. India is the largest market for whisky globally, with exports growing by 13.8%. As the negotiations on the UK-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) continue, it could unlock significant opportunities, reducing tariffs on UK whisky while enabling premium Indian brands, including homegrown single malts and premium spirits, to access global markets more competitively.

Rutland Square Spirits has been recognised with several awards for its unique tea-infused gin, which blends Assam’s oolong white tea with Scottish distilling traditions. The brand has won honours like the Scottish Gin Awards Gold, IWSC Bronze, and the World Gin Awards for Design, showing how its innovative flavours and thoughtful design are being appreciated around the world.

This is one of many Dr. Vivek Anand Oberoi’s investments that signals his larger commitment to sustainable luxury and cross-cultural innovation. With this investment, he further strengthens his position as a global entrepreneur, to support high-impact ventures across edtech, fintech, agritech, real estate, and sustainable luxury. As he continues to bridge industries and geographies, this latest move reflects his vision of pioneering transformative, culturally rooted enterprises with a global footprint.
