Karisma Kapoor recently represented India at the prestigious Harvard Business School in Boston, Massachusetts. During her appearance, she delivered a talk on “The Soft Power of Bollywood.” The session was also attended virtually by her sister, Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Sharing photos from her time in Boston, the actress expressed her gratitude and excitement, captioning the post with, “It was an absolute pleasure and honor to be a speaker at the India Conference at Harvard. Shout out to @kareenakapoorkhan for joining us for an impromptu but insightful chat. Thank you to @sunnysandhu24 and team #HarvardIndiaConference for being so wonderful. This was truly special.”

Karisma Kapoor gave a shoutout to her sister, Kareena, for joining her in an insightful and impromptu session at Harvard Business School.

Renowned for her roles in iconic films such as Dil To Pagal Hai, Coolie No. 1, Judwaa, and Raja Hindustani, Karisma Kapoor continues to captivate audiences with her stellar performances.

Fans can look forward to seeing Karisma in Homi Adajania’s upcoming film, Murder Mubarak, scheduled for release on March 15. 

Shahid Kapoor admitted to being hesitant about Ishaan Khatter working as an Assistant Director on the film Udta Punjab. He expressed concerns about having his brother involved in such an intense project.

Recently on Neha Dhupia’s talk show, Shahid said, “I didn’t want him to be on Udta Punjab. I was playing a cocaine addict. I don’t even know what it is like to have a drink so this was the most challenging film that I was doing and I don’t know if I’ll get the character right. And I don’t want the baggage of having my brother because when your younger brother is an AD, you know your one eye is there. Theek hai kya, khaana kha raha hai? You don’t want to show him that you’re there.”

When she inquired about the possibility of biases due to Ishaan being the brother of the film’s leading man, Shahid stated that there were no biases on the film sets. He emphasised that he wouldn’t want his elder brother or father to make him feel like he needed special treatment to be included in the team. Shahid expressed that it would be the worst thing for anyone because then the entire team would view you as being favoured due to your relationship. He stressed the importance of being included and treated equally within the team.

Sharing an anecdote from the sets of Udta Punjab, Shahid revealed that Ishaan was diagnosed with typhoid, “He wanted to drink water from a handpump. I told him, ‘Ishaan, we are big city kids, I don’t think our systems are used to having handpump water.’ He said, ‘Arre bhai, kuch nahi hota,’ He went and had the handpump water and two days later, he fell so ill.”

Udta Punjab was released in 2016. The film was directed by Abhishek Chaubey. Shahid Kapoor played the role of a drug-addict rockstar. The film also starred Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh.

An active member of the US Air Force has died after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington over the weekend in protest of the war in Gaza, the Pentagon said Monday.

Emergency responders on Sunday had rushed to the scene just before 1:00 pm (1800 GMT) in response to a “call for person on fire outside the Israeli Embassy,” according to a message on X, formerly Twitter, by the capital city’s fire department.

They arrived to find that officers from the Secret Service — the US law enforcement agency tasked with protecting embassies in Washington — had already extinguished the fire.

The man had filmed himself shouting “Free Palestine” as he lit himself on fire, according to footage shared on social media.

He was initially transported to hospital with “critical life-threatening injuries,” the fire department said.

An Air Force spokeswoman told AFP Monday morning that the unnamed “individual involved in yesterday’s incident succumbed to his injuries and passed away last night.”

“We will provide additional details 24 hours after next-of-kin notifications are complete.”

A spokesperson for the Israeli embassy said no staff were injured in the incident, and that the man was “unknown” to them.

In the video shared on social media, the man is seen wearing military fatigues and declaring he will “not be complicit in genocide” before dousing himself in liquid.

He then lights himself on fire while yelling “Free Palestine!” until he falls to the ground.

The video was reportedly first shared in a live stream on the social platform Twitch.

The shocking act came as protests are increasing across the United States against Israel’s actions in Gaza, where it is waging a retaliatory war for an attack on October 7 by Hamas militants.

With the death count in Gaza nearing 30,000, according to the Hamas-run health ministry there, international pressure has been increasing on the United States to rein in its ally Israel and call for a ceasefire.
