Top 7 best-dressed celebrities at Manish Malhotra's Diwali bash
Manish Malhotra's annual Diwali party in Mumbai brought together Bollywood's biggest stars for an evening of festive fashion, glamour and celebrations. Held at the designer's Bandra residence on November 5, the gathering saw celebrity couples arrive together, family appearances attract attention and several guests share glimpses of the evening on social media. From Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan's much-talked-about joint appearance to Ananya Panday's recreation of an iconic Bollywood look, the party offered plenty of fashion inspiration. Kareena Kapoor Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Akshay Kumar and Suhana Khan were also among the celebrities who caught attention. Here are seven celebrity looks that stood out at Manish Malhotra's Diwali bash. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan's joint appearance became one of the biggest talking points of the evening. The couple arrived hand in hand, posing for photographers outside the venue. Their affectionate exchange, with Abhishek holding Aishwarya's hand as they looked at each other, caught the attention of fans and paparazzi. Aishwarya chose a striking crimson-red saree featuring an elaborate golden embroidered border and a heavily embellished pallu. She completed the traditional look with a statement polki necklace, matching bangles and bold red lipstick. Abhishek complemented her in a black embroidered bandhgala. Inside the party, Aishwarya was also photographed taking a selfie with Manish Malhotra and celebrity stylist Sufi Motiwala. Sufi shared the picture on his Instagram Stories, while Manish reposted several photographs from the celebrations. The couple's rare joint appearance after a period away from the paparazzi spotlight became one of the most discussed moments of the night. Ananya Panday See on Instagram Ananya Panday brought Bollywood nostalgia to the party by recreating Rani Mukerji's iconic look from the song Shava Shava in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham . Her custom ivory-pink lehenga, designed by Manish Malhotra, was covered in shimmering sequins. She paired it with a delicate sparkling waist chain and an understated dupatta, recreating the festive feel of Rani's memorable on-screen outfit. Stylist Priyanka Kapadia worked with Manish Malhotra on the recreation. The designer had also created costumes for the original film, making the tribute particularly special.

The nostalgic connection to one of Bollywood's most recognisable fashion moments attracted considerable attention, with fans drawing comparisons between her outfit and Rani's original appearance. Kareena Kapoor Khan Kareena Kapoor Khan brought plenty of sparkle to the celebrations in a shimmering sequinned saree. The actor chose a silver-champagne look with an embellished halter-neck blouse, allowing the outfit to remain the centre of attention. She kept her styling relatively minimal, skipping heavy jewellery and opting for soft, understated make-up. Her look was a reminder that a statement saree does not always need elaborate accessories. Kareena arrived with husband Saif Ali Khan, who complemented her outfit in a classic dark kurta and white trousers. The couple posed together for photographs at the venue. Inside the party, designer Rakshit Singh shared a selfie featuring Kareena, in which she was seen striking a playful pout for the camera. The picture offered a glimpse of her cheerful mood during the celebrations.

Her Manish Malhotra ensemble featured a fitted, square-neck blouse and a matching mermaid-style skirt, both covered in intricate golden sequin work arranged in striking animal-inspired patterns. A sheer black dupatta draped around her arms completed the outfit. She paired the statement ensemble with a beauty look featuring bronzed skin, a hint of blush, nude lips and subtle smoky eyes. Her centre-parted, straight hair and restrained styling allowed the elaborate lehenga to stand out. Janhvi also shared glimpses of her appearance on Instagram. The combination of animal-inspired patterns, sequins and a dramatic fishtail silhouette made her one of the evening's most eye-catching guests. Vicky Kaushal Vicky Kaushal brought a rich festive look to the party in a red velvet kurta featuring intricate thread work, which he paired with black trousers. The velvet fabric and detailed embroidery gave his traditional outfit a slightly more formal appearance, setting it apart from the lighter ivory and pastel shades seen elsewhere at the celebration. Vicky was among the male celebrities photographed at the event. Pictures from the evening also showed him alongside filmmaker Karan Johar. His understated styling and rich red outfit made a strong impression without relying on excessive embellishment. Akshay Kumar Akshay Kumar also attended the designer's annual Diwali bash.

He was joined by his wife, author Te Suhana Khan See on Instagram Suhana Khan was also among the celebrities attending the Diwali celebration in a Manish Malhotra creation.

Twenty years after its launch in India, Bigg Boss continues to draw audiences, with its latest season achieving a new viewership milestone. Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20 has crossed 100 crore hours of watch time on JioHotstar in under 60 days, making it the fastest season in the franchise's history to reach the mark. The season, which premiered in September, had earlier recorded the biggest opening day ever for a reality show on JioHotstar. The latest milestone further reflects the show's continued reach and audience engagement, two decades after it first introduced the reality television format to Indian viewers.

More than 350 crore votes have been cast this season, marking a 71% increase compared to the previous season. The number of fans participating in voting has also grown by 48%. Additionally, viewers have created over three times as many memes as last season, while participation in Jeeto, the show's interactive play-along game, has more than doubled. The show's reach extends beyond India as well. Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20 has consistently featured among JioHotstar's top five titles in the UK, Canada and Singapore since its premiere. In the UAE, the show currently ranks No. 1 on STARZPLAY and has remained among the platform's top 10 titles since its streaming debut.

Rupee logs biggest single-day gain since Oct 12, closes 56 paise higher at 93.91/ dollar
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 6 (IANS) The Indian rupee posted its strongest daily advance since October 12, ending 56 paise higher at 93.91 against the US dollar on Friday, compared with its previous close of 94.47. The domestic currency also touched a six-month high during the trading session, extending its weekly gains to around 1.2 per cent and emerging as one of the best-performing currencies in Asia. Market participants attributed the rally largely to sustained foreign portfolio inflows into Indian equities and softer crude oil prices, factors that improved demand for the rupee and reduced pressure on India's import bill. Dealers said foreign banks were actively selling dollars on behalf of foreign portfolio investors, providing further support to the domestic currency. At the same time, the Reserve Bank of India was seen purchasing dollars near the 93.88 level, helping curb excessive appreciation in the rupee. The rupee strengthened to an intraday high of 94.04 during the session, returning to levels last seen around October 12. On that date, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra had said markets were overly pessimistic about the Indian currency and expressed confidence in the country's medium- and long-term balance of payments position. On Friday, the rupee appreciated about 0.6 per cent against the US dollar, outperforming all its regional peers and ranking as Asia's best-performing currency for the day. Despite the recent rebound, the rupee remains weaker on a longer-term basis. The currency has depreciated 4.3 per cent so far in calendar year 2026 and is down 5.6 per cent over the past one year. However, it has gained nearly 1 per cent in the current financial year, as per its regulatory filing. Experts said that the Indian Rupee outpaced all of Asian peers, scoring its biggest single-day surge since October 12 to hit a six-month peak. Fueled by heavy foreign inflows and sliding crude prices, market sentiment went into overdrive amid a parabolic rally in domestic equities sparked by the buzz around the Anti-AI trade and ease of geopolitical uncertainties, analysts stated. In the near term, spot USDINR is expected to head south with support pegged at 93.50 and resistance ticking up to 94.30, market watchers noted.

Collector's choice | Art Mumbai 2026
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 6 (IANS) Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday directed officials to accelerate the Marathwada Water Grid Project, a key initiative aimed at permanently resolving the water scarcity in the Marathwada region and making it drought-free. He instructed that the Preliminary Project Report be uploaded immediately and processed rapidly for submission to the Union Ministry of Finance's Department of Economic Affairs. The directives were issued during a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his official residence, 'Varsha', in Mumbai, alongside a senior delegation from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The meeting reviewed the layout of the Marathwada Water Grid Project as well as various infrastructure initiatives being undertaken through collaboration between Maharashtra and Japan. JICA is expected to provide financial assistance of approximately Rs 20,000 crore for this ambitious project. Given the uneven distribution of water in Marathwada, the primary objective of the Water Grid Project is to transfer water from surplus dams to drought-prone reservoirs via closed pipelines. A two-way flow system will be developed for this purpose, he said. According to the CM, the first phase of the project covers four districts: Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Beed, Latur, and Dharashiv. It will interconnect key reservoirs including Jayakwadi, Majalgaon, Manjara, Ujani, Lower Terna, and Lower Manar. The phase involves laying nearly 3,095 kilometres of primary and secondary pipelines and establishing 15 water treatment plants, directly benefiting nearly 10 million citizens. The estimated cost of the Water Grid Project across all eight districts is approximately Rs 25,056 crore. JICA has responded favourably regarding loan assistance of about Rs 20,000 crore for the first phase. Since Latur and Dharashiv fall under earthquake-prone zones, Japan's advanced earthquake-resistant technology will be utilised in construction. This includes the use of ductile iron pipes, modern pumping systems, and a SCADA network. Additionally, the project will ensure a sustainable water supply to industries in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar's AURIC City, Shendra-Bidkin, and Waluj industrial areas, he stated. In addition to water infrastructure, joint initiatives are underway between Japanese companies and the Indian Institute of Creative Technologies (IICT) to position Maharashtra globally in the Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC) sector. As part of this collaboration, the 'Manga Caravan' event will be hosted in Mumbai this February, an initiative welcomed by CM Fadnavis. The appointment of a Project Management Consultant and the preparation of the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Marathwada Water Grid Project will be completed swiftly in cooperation with JICA. Plans have been drawn up to ensure on-ground project execution is completed by 2029. Fadnavis assured that the State Government will further strengthen its partnership with Japan across infrastructure, water supply, transportation, environment, and modern technology, promising all necessary support for these ventures.

Akshay Mhatre recollects his most memorable Diwali celebration away from his family
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 6 (IANS) Actor Akshay Mhatre, who essays the role of Girdhar in the television show Humari Radha, has spoken up on his Diwali celebrations. The actor took a trip down memory lane, sharing his family's festive traditions and why his first Diwali celebration with wife Shrenu remains particularly special. Talking about the same, he said, Diwali has always been a special occasion for my family, and we celebrate it in the traditional Maharashtrian way. One of my favourite rituals is Abhyanga Snan, where we wake up early, apply utna and begin the day with a traditional bath. This is followed by Faral, when the entire family comes together to enjoy the festive delicacies prepared by my mother, and relatives also visit us to celebrate. He also spoke about his most memorable Diwali celebrations in Jaipur, which was incidentally the first time he was celebrating Diwali away from his family. One Diwali that I will always cherish is the first one I celebrated with Shrenu in Jaipur, when we were both away from our families for a shoot. This was also the first time I was celebrating Diwali away from my family. Interestingly, this was even before we started dating, which makes that memory all the more special for us. In a way, it felt like my family was there with me. It is moments like these that make festivals truly memorable, he added. Talking about Humari Radha, Girdhar (played by Akshay Mhatre) grows increasingly fond of Shanaya (played by Vaidehi Nair), while his wife Radha (played by Simaran Kaur), who was once heartbroken by his betrayal, has now decided to fight back. Humari Radha airs every day on Anmol TV.

The festive season has brought Bollywood celebrities together for celebrations, with several stars making appearances in their traditional best. On Thursday evening, fashion designer Manish Malhotra hosted his annual Diwali party, which saw several familiar faces from the film industry in attendance. Among those who caught everyone's attention were Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, who made a joint appearance after a while. The couple posed for the paparazzi outside the venue and were seen sharing affectionate moments. While Abhishek opted for a black kurta set, Aishwarya wore a vibrant red traditional outfit featuring golden detailing. The two complemented each other as they stood together for photographs, with their interactions drawing attention. In a video from the event, Aishwarya and Abhishek were seen subtly interacting while posing for the cameras. Aishwarya looked at her husband affectionately before resting her head on his chest. Abhishek, meanwhile, was seen holding her hand, with their fingers intertwined throughout the photographs. Their appearance offered a glimpse of their equation as they enjoyed the evening together. The joint appearance comes amid years of speculation surrounding their marriage. The couple's relatively few public appearances together have often led to rumours about a possible separation. However, Abhishek had previously dismissed the divorce rumours, calling them malicious and incorrect. Although the two have been spotted at airports together on a few occasions in recent months, their latest appearance gave photographers an opportunity to capture them posing together. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) Interestingly, their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan was not seen accompanying them at the celebration. She has often been spotted alongside Aishwarya during the actress's public appearances. A look back at Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's love story Aishwarya and Abhishek's relationship dates back to their professional collaborations. The two first met during a photoshoot for Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke in 1999 and later worked together in Kuch Naa Kaho. Their friendship eventually developed into a romantic relationship while they were working on Umrao Jaan and Dhoom 2. Abhishek has previously revealed that their relationship became serious during the making of Umrao Jaan. The couple also shared screen space in Mani Ratnam's Guru in 2007. During the film's promotional schedule in New York, Abhishek proposed to Aishwarya on a hotel balcony. They tied the knot on April 20, 2007, in a private ceremony in Mumbai. The couple welcomed their daughter, Aaradhya, on November 16, 2011.
