Aishwarya Rai Stuns in Red at 'Paris Fashion Week'
Paris Fashion Week wouldn't be complete without the incomparable Aishwarya Rai Bachchan gracing the runway. The veteran actress and long-time L'Oreal brand ambassador once again stole the show, showcasing her timeless elegance and poise. Aishwarya dazzled in a custom red Mossi outfit, exuding confidence and sophistication as she sashayed down the catwalk. Her signature pose – a flying kiss – left the audience enchanted, while her gracious Namaste at the end of the ramp walk earned applause. As part of the L'Oreal Paris show "Walk Your Worth," Aishwarya presented a stunning creation from the Women Ready-to-wear Spring-Summer 2025 collection at the iconic Palais Garnier opera house. L'Oreal Paris shared glimpses of Aishwarya's ramp walk on Instagram and wrote, "Step into a world of regal beauty with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Her look was a mesmerizing blend of tradition and modernity, embodying worth and elegance at every step." Fans could not contain their excitement seeing Aishwarya rocking the ramp. They wrote sweet messages for Aishwarya in the post's comments section. One person wrote, "The best Face of Loreal," another person wrote, "This lady wins everything with just her presence. Bringing Panche and Elan to Paris. You're worth it Ma'am," yet another person wrote, "OMG she's 50+, Hard to believe." Aishwarya's Paris Fashion Week appearance was a statement-making moment, both on and off the runway. Sporting her wedding ring, she subtly quashed divorce rumors surrounding her marriage to Abhishek Bachchan, reaffirming their enduring bond. Aishwarya was also termed humble by netizens as she sweetly held an excited fan’s hands as he brought her a gift. The actor was seen getting ready for her ramp walk as the person approached her and was overcome with emotion.   The Paris Fashion Week outing was a family affair for Aishwarya as her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, tagged along to Paris, enjoying the glamour and excitement of the fashion capital. Aaradhya was seen accompanying her mother as she prepped for the big night. Aishwarya's runway appearance was complemented by Alia Bhatt's debut at Paris Fashion Week, marking a significant milestone in the younger actress's career. The L'Oreal show also featured Jane Fonda, Eva Longoria, Kendall Jenner, and Cara Delevigne among others. On the work front, Aishwarya continues to soar, having recently received the Best Actress award at the South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA) for her remarkable performance in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan 2. In her acceptance speech, Aishwarya said, "Thank you so very much, SIMA, for honoring me with this award. It means the world to me because Ponniyin Selvan was a movie so close to my heart. Directed by my mentor Mani Ratnam, this award recognizes not just my work as Nandini but the efforts of the entire team." Source: TIE

BAN win against New Zealand in 1st Test
Bangladesh registered a landmark 150-run victory against New Zealand to go up 1-0 in two-match series, thanks to left-arm spinner Taijul Islam who spun the New Zealand batters in a gem of performance at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today (December 2, 2023).   Taijul ended with a match-figure of 10-184, his second 10-wicket haul in a Test match to emulate Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz as New Zealand found them wanting in a relentless spin attack.   Unlike the victory against Australia and England, which came in a rage turner in Mirpur, the win was scripted in a better pitch which offered something for pacers, spinners and batters.   But Bangladesh, which has been at its lowest ebb following a disastrous World Cup performance and came into the game without as many five first choice players, showed a performance of ages to take the match in their favour.   Taijul followed his 4-109 with 6-75 in the second innings to wrap up New Zealand innings for 181 in the first session of day five, while chasing a target of 332.   Bangladesh went into the fifth and final day of the game, needing just three wickets to complete the inevitable. But resuming at 113-7 and requiring 219 runs, Mitchell's presence gave New Zealand a slim hope for an unlikely victory given the fact that Sylhet pitch normally behaves well in the morning session.   Mitchell struck Taijul a boundary through mid-off in the third ball of the day before punching the same bowler for a single through cover to raise his ninth 50 off 99 balls. Tension rose as he batted with ease as a testament that pitch had no demons.   He looked confident against spinners and repeatedly swept them to keep the scoreboard moving.   Skipper Tim Southee played an attacking 34 off 24 with one four and two sixes before Taijul dismissed him to complete his 12th five-for. Taijul then fittingly wrapped up New Zealand innings when Ish Sodhi who made a laborious 22 off 91, popped a simple catch to Zakir Hasan at silly mid-off.   Opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy made 86 as Bangladesh were bowled out 310 in its first innings but New Zealand earned a 7-run lead, compiling 317, courtesy to a brilliant 104 of Kane Williamson.   Najmul Hossain Shanto then became first Bangladesh cricketer to hit a century on debut as captain to lead Bangladesh to 338 in second innings, setting a dauting 332-run target for the visitors on an increasingly deteriorating pitch.   His century paved the way for Bangladesh's only second and first victory at home against New Zealand.   The second and final Test begins on December 6 at Mirpur.   Source: BSS
