Deepika Padukone, expecting her first child with husband Ranveer Singh, has a fun and relatable way to beat boredom. Known for sharing glimpses of her daily life on social media, Deepika recently posted a humorous reel on Instagram Stories that every sibling can relate to. In the video, a little girl dances towards a room with the caption, “When you are bored and then remember you have a sibling to irritate.” Deepika tagged her sister Anisha Padukone in the reel, showcasing some classic elder sister behaviour.

Earlier, Anisha Padukone shared photos from her holiday in Prague, captioning them, “Life in Technicolor.” Deepika commented, “Oho! Aha,” with grinning and kissing emojis. Ranveer Singh and Huma Qureshi also left heart emojis on Anisha’s post. In February 2024, Deepika and Ranveer announced they were expecting their first child, hinting at a due date in September 2024. Professionally, Deepika was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD and will appear in Singham Again and the Hindi remake of The Intern.

Air India had on Thursday evening cancelled a scheduled flight from New Delhi to Tel Aviv citing operational reasons. 

The Middle East has seen heightened tensions since war broke out between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas. The ongoing conflict has seen over 35,000 people die with its political fallout reaching several countries in the region including, Iran, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Jordan. 

The tensions were exacerbated when a bomb detonated in Iran’s capital Tehran, killing the political chief of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh. Iran has blamed Israel for Haniyeh’s assassination with the country’s religious head, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei even calling for a “direct” attack on Israel. 

This escalation has prompted many countries to tread with caution in the region. 

The US president made the criticism in his first comments on the apparent Israeli assassination.
