By Bharath Rajeswaran (Reuters) -India’s benchmark indexes fell marginally at the start of the week, dragged by information technology and auto stocks, in thin volume trade ahead of the end of 2024. The Nifty 50 shed 0.16% to 23,775.1 points as of 9:56 a.m. IST, while the BSE Sensex was down 0.14% to 78,585.56. Seven of the 13 major sectors fell. The broader, more domestically focussed smallcaps and midcaps were little changed. “Persistent concerns such as sustained foreign institutional investor outflows, diminishing expectations of U.S. rate cuts in 2025 and a lack of major domestic triggers amid the year-end are weighing on market sentiment,” said Mandar Bhojane, research analyst at Choice Broking. India’s benchmark indexes rose about 1% last week after dropping about 5% in the prior week, their worst fall in 30 months, as the Federal Reserve’s projection of fewer rate cuts in 2025 lowered the appeal of emerging market assets. Asian shares edged lower on Monday as high Treasury yields challenged lofty Wall Street equity valuations while underpinning the U.S. dollar near multi-month peaks. Information technology companies, which earn a significant share of their revenue from the U.S., shed 0.7% on the day, amid sustained foreign outflows due to elevated Treasury yields. Auto shares lost 0.5% ahead of the monthly sales data due later in the week. Among individual stocks, JSW Energy climbed 6.6% after the power producer announced a definitive agreement to acquire renewable power company O2 Power Midco Holdings. Vodafone Idea rose 2.6% after telecom department dispensed with the requirement of submitting bank guarantees for spectrum acquired through auctions. Electric two-wheeler maker Ola Electric Mobility lost 3% following the resignations of two senior executives. Choice Broking’s Bhojane expects the market to remain subdued in the near term as investors await triggers such as monthly auto sales data and the December quarter earnings.

's new rom-com landed on our screens over the festive period – and viewers have given their verdict on the series. Based on Beth O'Leary's popular romance novel of the same name, the six-parter follows exes Addie (Emma Appleton) and Dylan (Laurie Davidson) who are forced to travel in a campervan from Bristol to Spain together to attend the wedding of a mutual friend. Taking to social media, viewers heaped praise on the series, which also stars Isabella Laughland (Harry Potter) as Addie's sister Deb, David Jonsson (Rye Lane) as Dylan's friend Marcus, Angus Imrie (Fleabag) as Rodney, and Hannah (Bridgerton) as Grace. One person penned: " " while another added: "Second chance and close proximity trope delivered. Enjoyed Addie and Dylan." A third fan binge-watched all six episodes in one sitting, writing: "I usually hate the miscommunication trope, but #theroadtrip did it SO WELL! I just binged the whole show in one go," while another encouraged others to tune in: "Go watch #TheRoadTrip for a good end of year/start of a new one." For those yet to tune into the series, here's the official synopsis: "When Addie sets off from Bristol on an epic road trip to a wedding in Spain with her sister Deb, she's barely out of the city when her knackered VW campervan is rear-ended by a speeding Porsche containing her ex, Dylan, and his obnoxious best friend Marcus. but – headed to the same wedding and with best man Dylan's ride totalled – Addie agrees to put their differences aside and travel together." It continues: "A thousand miles is a long time to be stuck in a campervan with so much buried history though, especially when you're on your way back to the exact place you first fell in love. The mystery of Addie and Dylan's breakup looms large. What really did happen? Why have they had no contact? Who, if anyone, was to blame? It’s going to be a bumpy ride..."

Speaking about the change in location, author Beth told Paramount+ that while she misses the original setting, the European backdrop adds a layer to the story. "I'm going to give you a totally honest answer to this – I slightly miss the UK setting for the road trip itself!" she said. " versus the iconic ones we usually see on screen. Like, the M3 is so comically dull. But I have to say the team have done an amazing job of keeping that vibe with a different and more visually exciting setting. And actually, I love the symmetry of their journey taking them back to the exact villa where it all began. I think that’s so smart, and really adds a layer to the story."EMMITSBURG, Md.

OTTAWA — The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has ordered Canada to address a backlog of requests under Jordan's Principle which is meant to ensure First Nations children don't wait to receive assistance because of jurisdictional battles. The First Nations Child and Family Caring Society raised concerns that Ottawa was taking too long to process requests for financing through Jordan's Principle, leaving children without access to services. The principle stipulates that when a First Nations child needs health, social or educational services they are to receive them from the government first approached, with questions about final jurisdiction worked out afterward. It's named after Jordan River Anderson of Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba. Born in 1999 with multiple disabilities, Anderson died at five years old without ever leaving the hospital, because federal and provincial governments couldn’t decide who should pay for his at-home care. Caring Society executive director Cindy Blackstock told the tribunal the ever-growing Jordan's Principle backlog was of Canada's own making and that some kids are waiting months to receive the care they need. Urgent Jordan’s Principle requests are supposed to be processed within 24 hours. But urgent requests are taking up to one month to be reviewed, according to Independent First Nations, an advocacy body representing a dozen First Nations in Ontario and Quebec. Blackstock’s January affidavit said nearly half of requests made by individuals from those First Nations in 2023-24 are still in review, along with 10 per cent of the files submitted in 2022-23. The delays extend to the reimbursement of service providers, the Caring Society argued, with the Indigenous Services department missing its own promise to make those payments within 15 days. In 2022-23, the department processed only 50.7 per cent of payments within 15 business days, compared to 82.9 per cent in 2021-22. The tribunal wrote in a decision Thursday that Canada admitted to the backlog, but the estimated size of it differs between parties. "There is a backlog of cases and some of them may very well be urgent and this will be established when Canada reviews the email requests in the backlog," the decision says. The tribunal ordered Canada to return to it with a detailed plan, timelines and targets to address the backlog before Dec. 10. Jennifer Kozelj, spokesperson for Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu, said in a statement that the department remains focused on ensuring First Nations children can access the services they need, and that they are reviewing the tribunal's decision. "Since 2016, we have invested nearly $8.1 billion to meet the needs of First Nations children through Jordan's Principle, working collaboratively to develop processes and operations to meet the growing volume of requests," she wrote. "Additionally, more than 7.8 million products, services and supports were approved under Jordan’s Principle since 2016." In the decision Thursday, the tribunal also highlighted the need for a "credible and independent national and effective" complaints mechanism for Jordan's Principle. "The Tribunal agrees it would be best to have broad consultations with First Nations for the creation of a permanent independent Indigenous-led complaints mechanism," the decision says. Still, the tribunal wrote that interim complaints mechanisms can be implemented before that formal structure is created. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 22, 2024.

In 2016, Ghazal Alagh and her husband, Varun Alagh, established MamaEarth, a personal beauty care brand focused on environment-friendly beauty and personal hygiene products, specially designed for mothers and newborns. Published: November 23, 2024 11:08 PM IST By In 2016, Ghazal Alagh and her husband, Varun, launched MamaEarth, and over the years turned their initial Rs 25 lakh investment into a major beauty care brand valued at Rs 15,000 crore. However, eight years later, Ghazal’s MamaEarth now lies in shambles as 50% of the company’s market cap was wiped out within a span of two months. Here’s what happened and why MamaEarth is no longer a unicorn. A startup earns the prestigious ‘unicorn’ tag when the company crosses the prestigious $1 billion valuation threshold, and MamaEarth has now lost that recognition after its parent company, Honasa Consumer Limited, lost 50 percent of its market cap in the last two months. The company was valued at around Rs 15,000 crore in September, with its stock trading at a healthy Rs 541 per share. But things went awry as its stock eroded gradually, crashing to Rs. 227 in November, wiping out Rs 7,500 crore of the company’s market cap. Currently, MamaEarth is valued at less than $1 billion, thus losing the coveted ‘unicorn’ tag. Mamaearth’s parent company has lost 50 percent of its market cap in the last two months. In September 2024, Honasa Consumer’s stock was trading at Rs. 541 a share, and the company was worth around Rs. 15,000 crore. But in November, just two months later, its stock has crashed to just Rs. 227 a share with a market cap of Rs. 7,300 crore. This represents an erosion of Rs. 7,500 crore of its market cap in two months. Simultaneously, Mamaearth is now worth less than $1 billion, and has lost its unicorn tag. Interestingly, the biggest slump in MamaEarth’s shares came shortly after the firm declared its quarterly results last week, reporting a revenue of Rs. 417 crore in the September quarter, a 17% drop from its earnings of Rs. 498 crore in the previous quarter, and 10% lower than the revenue reported in the same quarter last year. MamaEarth’s business had shown signs of stress even before the quarterly results were announced, with distributors flagging concerns over excessive, unsold and expired inventory from the company. Ghazal Alagh’s startup was one of the first to venture into the personal beauty sector, but its rapid success gave rise to rival companies, which started to compete with MamaEarth for market share, eventually taking a big chunk. Additionally, the rise of quick commerce platforms have made Mamaearth’s rival brands to reach consumers with easy, thus further reducing the company market share. Who is Ghazal Alagh Born and raised in a middle-class household in Gurugram, Haryana, Ghazal Alagh completed her early education in her home state and later earned a Bachelors degree in computer application from Punjab University. Following her graduation, Ghazal joined the New York Academy of Art where she completed her Summer Intensive Course in Design and Applied Arts and her Intensive Course in Figurative Art in Modern Art in 2013. In 2016, Ghazal Alagh and her husband, Varun Alagh, established MamaEarth, a personal beauty care brand focused on environment-friendly beauty and personal hygiene products, specially designed for mothers and newborns. With an initial investment of Rs 25 lakh, the couple soon turned MamaEarth into one of top brands in the space, along the way becoming the first Asian brand to earn the MadeSafe label, making it a trustworthy brand for moms and infants. The company soon grew into a unicorn, and as late as September 2024, had a valuation of Rs 15,000 crore. For breaking news and live news updates, like us on or follow us on and .

( MENAFN - Gulf Times) Public and private sector institutions and centres in Qatar, concerned with the artistic and cultural aspects, rely on organising training workshops, classes, lectures, and Seminars as a fundamental part of their programmes and projects. These efforts aim to develop the talents and capabilities of their affiliates, prepare future artists, and enhance their knowledge of the techniques and aesthetics of visual and plastic arts. The Ministry of Culture, during the“Fereej Art and Design” festival held last month as part of the cultural season activities, showcased an outstanding model of utilising art workshops and training through the pavilions of its affiliated centres. Additionally, the“Doha Photography Festival” held last month featured a series of workshops and lectures led by an elite group of photographers and creatives from Qatar, the Gulf, and around the world. These sessions covered topics such as nature photography, the use of artificial intelligence, underwater photography, wildlife photography, and capturing emotions in sports events. Qatar Museums has organised numerous art workshops and interactive cultural activities over the years at the Museum of Islamic Art, the National Museum of Qatar, the Arab Museum of Modern Art, 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, Qatar Museums Gallery - Al Riwaq, and the Fire Station - Artists in Residence. These activities, supervised by professional artists, aim to enhance the knowledge of talented individuals and amateurs in various arts and techniques. In the context of the 2024 Qatar International Art Festival, organised by Katara last month with the participation of 350 artists from 70 countries, a significant portion of the programme was dedicated to art workshops and cultural seminars to foster co-operation and exchange of experiences among creatives from Qatar and around the world. Many artists and supervisors of art workshops and training, in special statements to the Qatar News Agency (QNA), emphasised the importance of these workshops in refining the skills of talented individuals and elevating them to a professional level, as well as discovering the potential of promising future artists. Award-winning Qatari photographer Arif al-Omari highlighted the role of art workshops in enhancing the skills of photographers and enabling them to transition from hobbyists to professionals. He said that the workshops and courses supervised by professional photographers represent a form of giving back to the community and the institutions that nurtured their talents and contributed to refining their experiences. Al-Omari, who has trained over 2,000 people in Qatar, the Gulf, and the UK, noted that workshops have become an integral part of these art institutions. He pointed out that the Qatar Photographic Society, formerly, was keen on organising workshops to help photographers renew their skills and stay updated with the latest in photography and camera technology. He emphasised that the Qatar Photography Center, under the Ministry of Culture, is committed to offering diverse courses and workshops to its members, focusing on a range of topics from photography basics and camera handling to various stages of specialization in photography arts. The centre also provides certificates and prepares participants to transition from hobbies to the professional market. Al-Omari also noted that social media has created new opportunities for photographers, with food photography becoming a prominent field. This requires photographers to have a precise understanding of lighting aesthetics, composition, and food culture to market and visually express food effectively. Iraqi visual artist Ismail Azzam emphasised the importance of training workshops for talented young artists in Qatar, noting that their results are evident in their distinguished artistic productions and participation in individual and group exhibitions both domestically and internationally. Azzam pointed out that visual art is fundamentally an individual creative endeavour that depends on the artist's effort to develop their tools and artistic skills. Public and private sector institutions, represented by the Ministry of Culture, museums, or private galleries, play a crucial role in providing support, spaces, materials, tools, and specialised trainers to encourage talented community members to engage in these courses and workshops. While talent is necessary, it needs to be honed with knowledge, education, serious practice, and continuous training. He praised Qatar Museums' experience in organising training workshops over several years at the Museum of Islamic Art, the National Museum of Qatar, in various arts under the supervision of specialists in drawing, sculpture, photography, decoration, Islamic arts, and Arabic calligraphy, benefiting talented Qataris, Arabs, and foreigners. Azzam noted that the workshops he has offered with Qatar Museums over seven years, including an ongoing workshop at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, focus on portrait drawing. These workshops provide trainees with basic information and skills, allowing them to choose their style, school, and approach to their ideas and visions. He emphasised the need for workshop participants and beneficiaries to have a minimum knowledge of the history of the art they practice and to believe in the role of art in societal development, culture, positive psychological impacts, and instilling high ethical values. Azzam, who has more than 25 years of experience teaching drawing through numerous workshops using various techniques, including traditional tools like pencils, charcoal, acrylics, and oils, as well as modern digital drawing techniques, highlighted the effectiveness of art and training workshops and lectures organised by cultural institutions in Qatar and most Arab countries. These workshops help refine the abilities of talented individuals in different artistic fields such as visual arts, ceramics, sculpture, design, printing, Arabic calligraphy, decoration, music, and theatre. These workshops continue to play an essential role alongside specialised academic art institutes in discovering and nurturing talents through continuous training.

Greaves, who finished 115 not out, had a previous highest score in tests of 33 and only one century in 43 first-class matches before compiling a composed hundred from 181 balls, batting at No. 6. He completed the first century of West Indies' innings after Mikyle Louis was out for 97 and Alick Athanaze for 90 on the first day. Bangladesh was 40-2 at stumps, trailing by 410 runs when bad light stopped play with seven overs left in the day. Shahadat Hossain was 10 not out and Mominul Haque on 7. The tourists lost Mahmadul Hasan Joy (5) and Zakir Hasan (15) in 20 overs before the close. West Indies resumed Saturday at 250-5 after being sent in when Bangladesh won the toss. They were 261-7, the match closely balanced, when Greaves was joined by Kemar Roach, batting at nine. The pair put on 140 for the eighth wicket to fully turn the match in West Indies' favor. Roach made a painstaking 47 from 144 balls, following the example of Greaves whose innings of 206 deliveries included 128 dot balls. “Me and Justin are from the same country and he understands my batting ability so he just backed me in the situation and obviously it paid off,” Roach said. “We're good mates, we have very good conversations at the cricket and outside cricket so that's what helped us in the middle.” The 30-year-old Greaves, playing his first test for 10 months, hit only four fours, including the boundary that brought up his century. Otherwise, he took 52 runs from singles, 38 from twos and nine from threes in an excellent example of running between wickets. His batting form had been hinted at by the fact he scored four centuries in domestic one-day matches in West Indies. “It was a fantastic effort,” Roach said. “He's one who wants to learn ... I've had big hopes for him from the time he started.” Roach also restrained his attacking instinct, hitting two boundaries and scoring at a strike rate of 32.6 as he played a vital support role to Greaves. When Roach came to the crease, Greaves was only 18 after resuming Saturday at 11 not out. The pair came together in the 87th over after Alzarri Joseph (4) was brilliantly caught in the gully by Zakir Hasan from the bowling of Hasan Mahmud. They built their partnership diligently, ticking off milestones. Greaves reached his half century from 88 balls and by lunch the West Indies had recovered to 336-7, scoring at a steady three runs per over. Brief rain breaks failed to disturb the batters' concentration. Roach finally was out in the 134th over when the total was 401-8. Mahmud delivered a ball outside off stump which beat Roach's shot as it curled back to hit middle. Greaves was 98 when Roach was out but kept his concentration and avoided the fate of Louis and Athanaze who both fell just short of maiden centuries. He reached his personal milestone four balls later, raising his bat to acknowledge the applause of the crowd. ___ AP cricket:It's that time of year again: Holiday feasts are looming, and so are those dreaded leftovers. Of course, initially, everyone loves leftovers — but even if you employ , after warming up the same old stuffing for the 4th or 5th time, hate may not be a strong enough word to describe how you feel. But before you start cleaning out your fridge indiscriminately, hold on to that unassuming ham bone and use it for your next comforting homemade dish as winter approaches. Some scraps are worth keeping. Please turn that near-trash into treasure by using it as a secret ingredient for rich, hearty soups that warm the soul. When it comes to flavor, ham bones pack a wallop, easily transforming a simple broth into something amazing. What do you have in mind? Is a classic clam chowder, smoky bean stew, or creamy potato soup on the menu? Regardless of your decision, the addition of a ham bone will really make the dish stand out and create some lovely flavors. So before you throw them out, here's how you can use leftover ham bones to create winter meals that feel like a warm hug on a cold day. Ham bones make soups better If you've ever wondered why soups like split pea or navy bean have such a deep, smoky flavor, the answer is often a ham bone. It adds layers of richness and saltiness as it simmers, infusing the broth with the essence of the meat. Ham bones are particularly great for soups that benefit from a savory undertone, such as lentil soup. It's even a great way to . Two of my absolute favorite recipes that use leftover ham bones are corn chowder and cabbage soup. The smokiness from the ham is a match made in heaven with the sweetness that comes out in either dish. The key to unlocking that flavor is giving the bone time to work its magic. Add it to your soup pot along with aromatics like onions, garlic, and celery, and let it simmer low and slow. As the bone breaks down, it releases collagen and gelatin, which not only enhance the flavor, but gives the soup a luxurious, velvety texture. And don't forget: The bits of ham still clinging to the bone will fall off into the soup, adding extra meatiness to every bite. Ham stock 101 If you're not ready to make soup right away, why not use your ham bone for a versatile ham stock? Making stock is simple, and it's a great way to stretch your leftovers even further. Just toss the bone into a large pot with water, a few carrots, celery stalks, and a couple of bay leaves. Simmer for a few hours, strain, and voilà — you have a flavorful base for countless winter dishes. Don't be skeptical of this bone broth because you usually hear about beef or ; this one is a winner for sure.

Mumbai: Bollywood actor-couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt with their daughter Raha Kapoor pose for pictures upon their arrival for the Kapoor family's Christmas lunch, in Mumbai. (PTI Photo)( Being a celebrity and trying to lead a normal life is indeed tough. Celebs are not only loved by many, but their lives-- be it professional or personal-- are also often under scrutiny by the public. And why not? They play a huge role in shaping the society we live in by influencing people world over. In today’s interconnected world, celebrities often serve as a mirror to societal norms, trends, and challenges, particularly in their personal lives and family dynamics. Be it Hollywood stars, Bollywood icons, sportspersons, billionaires, or the British royalty-- their lives give a glimpse of modern relationships and how they are evolving and changing with time. By examining the lives of celebrities, we can notice patterns and lessons that might resonate with ordinary people who are navigating similar relationship landscapes: 1. Blended families are becoming the new normal While the show 'Modern Family' might be seem a bit far-fetched for Indian viewers, one can't deny the presence and rise of blended families in contemporary India and how they are becoming the new normal. Take for instance, celebrated lyricist-writer Javed Akhtar and his wife Shabana being in good terms with his first wife Honey Irani, his two children Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar, and their extended families. In fact, recently Farhan Akhtar had even posted a family picture from his daughter Shakya’s convocation. In the picture one can notice ex-spouses, current partners, step-parents, children all coming together as a big fat and happy family.

A common thread that hold them together is of course Salim Khan, but also their mutual love, respect and acceptance of each other in the family. Talking of the younger generation, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan's family dynamic also exemplifies this. After getting a divorce from his first wife Amrita Singh, Saif is now married to actress Kareena Kapoor with whom he has two adorable kids-- Taimur and Jeh. However, his co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife Amrita highlights the complexities of maintaining harmony in blended families. Despite their differences and challenges, Saif and Amrita seem to prioritise their children Sara and Ibrahim's well-being first. With Sara and Ibrahim often visting Saif and Kareena and celebrating special occasions together as a family, this is a reflection of their amicable relationship with each other in the blended family. Mumbai, Aug 19 (IANS) Actress Sara Ali Khan on Monday shared heartwarming pictures with her brothers and family on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. In the West too, the concept of blended families are often in many celebrity relationships . For instance, actor Will Smith and his ex-wife Sheree Zampino, along with his current wife Jada Pinkett Smith, have managed a successful co-parenting relationship for years now. Their openness about their struggles and triumphs has inspired many to reimagine family structures that go beyond the traditional norms. In the British royal family too, one can notice this happen in Prince Charles's (now King Charles III) marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles. Despite getting a divorce from Princess Diana in the early 1990s, Prince Charles continued to be actively play his role as a father to his sons-- Prince William and Prince Harry--from his previous marriage with Princess Diana. This shows how blended families are becoming more accepted in even the most traditional family set-ups. 2. Redefining marriage and commitment Over the years, many Indian celebrities have not only embraced live-in relationships but have also, in a way, normalised it in our society. In a candid interview with Karan Johar for Koffee With Karan, Twinkle Khanna once shared how her relationship with her husband Akshay Kumar started of as a fling. And a few months later when Akshay proposed marriage to her and met her mother Dimple Kapadia for the first time, the latter had suggested them to try living together for a year before taking their relationship to the next level. And so, Akshay and Twinkle gave it a try and in 2001, the couple got married in a grand celebration. In 2018, Bollywood actor Neha Dhupia’s marriage to Angad Bedi broke stereotypes with their candid discussion about pre-marital pregnancy. By openly addressing societal taboos, they became symbols of changing attitudes toward relationships and family planning. Actors Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were also in a live-in relationship for roughly five years, after which they finally tied the knot on April 14, 2022. In November the same year, the couple welcomed their daughter Raha and embraced parenthood. While these instances are a bit rare when it comes to our traditional Indian society, there are some exceptions. Some celebrities' personal lives are a reflection of this, and how marriages and commitment are now being redefined in contemporary times. Are Live-In Relationships Right For You? BK Shivani Explains Commenting on a Reddit thread titled 'How have celebrity relationships influenced your thoughts on relationships?', a user named r/Fauxmoi had shared, "I think the biggest thing for me is the reinforcement of the concept of right person wrong time. You see that a lot in some celeb relationships where they will get back together after a long time (Ben and JLo, Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford, Liz and Dick etc.). After seeing how the more "boring" couples have long lasting relationships compared to the PDA filled couples, I'm starting to think that the boring love is the one that lasts the longest and is probably the healthiest." 3. The rise of equality in partnerships Over the years, egalitarianism or equality in relationships has gained a lot of attention, and many celebrities' relationships are an example of this. For instance: Bollywood’s Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are celebrated not just for their love story but also for their mutual love, respect, and support for each other’s careers. Ranveer’s open admiration for Deepika’s achievements challenges traditional gender roles in Indian society. While in the US, former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have often emphasised on the importance of partnership and equality in their marriage. Their shared responsibilities and mutual encouragement is a great example of a balanced relationship in modern times. Why Traditional Marriages Are Being Replaced By New Love Models 4. Cutting off toxic family ties In the UK, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have not only redefined royal relationships but also taught people a lesson or two about prioritising one's mental health above all. In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan shocked the world by announcing that they have stepped down from their duties as senior members of the royal family to focus on their family and mental well-being. While many criticised the couple for running away from their duties or subsequently badmouthing their families, this also highlights the importance of prioritising one's personal happiness and shared goals over societal expectations. 5. Parenting and work-life balance Since celebs' lives are constantly under public scrutiny, raising their children in a normal environment is yet another challenge which is unique to celebrity families but it is also kind-of reflective of broader societal pressures. For example, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan have navigated parenting their three children while maintaining their public personas and separate work-lives. Their openness about balancing work and family life resonates with many working parents. Many Indian celebs are also protecting their children's privacy by not letting paparazzi click their pictures or hiding them on social media. For instance, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli refrain from posting about their children online; they have also not allowed the press to post their kids' pictures. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas too don't share their daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas' pictures without blurring her face, in order to protect her privacy. While another user named plantbay1428 wrote in the same Reddit thread, "It makes me think about my future relationship with my children, if I do have them. I’m going to keep my posting about them to a minimum. Not going to block out their faces or freak out if they’re in a group photo or anything like that, but I won’t post if they do or say something silly. They have a right to decide what information about them is out there, even if I have privacy settings." The British royals Prince William and Kate Middleton too have modernised royal parenting style by being hands-on parents to their three children. Their efforts to provide a sense of normalcy shows the universal desire to prioritise children’s well-being over societal expectations-- which many Indian couples would relate to. 6. Being friends and co-parenting after divorce Modern relationships increasingly challenge conventional definitions of marriage and commitment. In the U.S., actress Jennifer Garner and actor Ben Affleck’s amicable co-parenting dynamic shows the power of prioritising one's family over personal differences. Their ability to adapt to new circumstances while maintaining a strong bond with their children reflects modern relational priorities. While Hollywood has many examples of celebrities divorcing and co-parenting their kids, thus prioritising family stability post-divorce, this is now being practiced by many Indian celebs too. For instance, ace cricketer Hardik Pandya and his ex-wife Natasa Stankovic seem to be amicable with each other for the sake of their son Agastya. There's a talk in the city that I'm going back (to Serbia). How would I go back? I have a child. The child goes to school here. The child needs to be here. He belongs here. The family is here at the end of the day. We (Hardik and I) are still family. We have a child, and the child will always make us family at the end of the day. I haven't done that anyway because Agastya needs to stay with both parents. Natasa Satankovic said in an earlier interview with TOI. Some other Indian celebs who are also co-parenting their children post-divorce are Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Suzanne Khan, Sohail Khan and Seema Sajdeh, among others. In the West, the world's richest man Elon Musk is also said to be co-parenting his children with Neuralink Director Shivon Zillis. Musk and Zillis have three children together, including twins born in 2021 and a third child born in 2024. Apart from them, Musk also has children with his former wife Justine Musk, and former partner Grimmes. Similarly, in the UK, singer Adele’s candidness about her divorce and subsequent growth has resonated with many. Her willingness to discuss the emotional challenges of ending a marriage while also co-parenting with her ex-husband shows how modern relationships value authenticity over perfection. And so, the lives and family dynamics of celebrities across the world might seem fascinating to many, but they are also a reflection of modern relationships. While their fame amplifies their challenges and triumphs, the underlying themes of adaptability, communication, and mutual respect are universally relatable. By observing how they navigate their relationship challenges of love, parenting, and societal expectations, one can learn how to build stronger and more fulfilling bonds in our own lives.
