Entertainment From AP Dhillon to BTS’ Kim Seokjin, here are the best-dressed musicians turning heads at global fashion weeks Image Credits (From Left To Right): Kim Seokjin, (@Xfashion)// X Badshan (@dreamnhustlemedia)//Instagram, Bang Chan// Stefano Rellandini, Getty Images September is the holy grail of the fashion calendar. From Burberry’s music festival-inspired mayhem to Diesel’s immersive egg hunt, shows across New York, London, and Milan have set the stage for high-concept runway experiences. Across the circuit, the front rows are dominated by some of the biggest names in global music. From K-pop to Punjabi hip-hop, these artists are not only topping international charts but also making waves at fashion shows. Here are the best-dressed musicians turning heads at fashion weeks around the world. Badshah: Alexander Wang Becoming the first Indian rapper to attend NYFW, Badshah donned an all-denim look for Alexander Wang’s Spring-Summer 2026 collection at 58 Bowery, New York. Diamond-studded brooches, made by skilled Indian artisans, were strewn across his baggy fit, blending homegrown craftsmanship and global style in one ensemble. This was the rapper’s second time attending a fashion show, after making his fashion week debut with Amiri earlier this year. AP Dhillon: Burberry Serving “Brown Munde” realness, Punjabi singer and rapper AP Dhillon’s Burberry drip was one for the books. Layered in classic trench coats, tailored jackets, and suede boots, all proudly flaunting the Burberry logo, he commanded attention with every detail. All eyes were already on the runway as Creative Director Daniel Lee debuted his S/S ’26 collection — a gritty nod to British music festival culture, merging Glastonbury energy with Burberry’s craftsmanship and a splash of 1970s rock influence. Dhillon’s tasseled scarf was giving peak 2000s Shah Rukh Khan energy. It was a refreshing switch-up for the rapper, known for his baggy, stage-ready fits. Sporting a custom-made deep brown Burberry suit under Lee’s vision, he didn’t forget the essentials: his signature swagger. Chocolate brown is definitely his look. And of course, what is Burberry without its stripes? Seated front row alongside global icons like Jonathan Bailey and Elton John, AP Dhillon was every bit the moment. Enhyphen: Prada All seven members of the K-pop group Enhyphen graced the front row as global brand ambassadors, turning heads with their presence. Blending 1970s rock-band edge with signature Korean suave, their fits were tailored to reflect each member’s unique identity and personality. Leather, cowboy boots, soft rosettes, and fur-trimmed coats exuded a sense of rustic charm that united them stylistically. The collection, designed by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, an iconic duo, delivered as always, showcasing a sharp mix of utility, fresh color combinations, and innately chic accessories. Kim Seokjin: Gucci The heartthrob from BTS, Jin, made a striking appearance at Gucci’s short film premiere “The Tiger,” turning heads in a heavenly, billowy button-down shirt from the house’s “La Famiglia” collection. He paired the look with sleek black trousers, a subtle chain, and a purse, all emblazoned with the iconic Gucci logos.  Fresh off his military comeback, his look cemented him not just as a brand ambassador but also as the underrated fashion icon that he is. This marked his third appearance for the brand, wherein he shared the front row with Serena Williams and Alia Bhatt. Jin’s presence alone was enough to send the BTS ARMY into an absolute frenzy. As he stepped onto the red carpet, the Palazzo Mezzanotte echoed with cheers, proving once again why he’s earned the nickname “Worldwide Handsome.” Joshua (Seventeen) and Momo (Twice): Onitsuka Tiger K-pop icons Joshua (Seventeen) and Momo (TWICE) made a power-packed appearance at Onitsuka Tiger’s S/S ’26 presentation, titled ‘Urban Fantasy.’ Both dressed in sharply tailored looks, they brought their signature flair to the front row. Joshua stuck to classics with a fitted jacket from Onitsuka, saving the drama for his standout shoes. Momo, as always, served face, topping off his look with a tasseled tie. Bang Chan: Fendi Stray Kids member Bang Chan caused a stir on the streets of Milan as fans gathered for a glimpse of the idol ahead of Fendi’s S/S ’26 show. As a brand ambassador, he made a bold statement in an all-black ensemble, pairing a sheer, laced-through shirt with a structured leather trench coat and tailored pants. The look was a striking contrast of tough and soft, embodying the K-pop idol’s innate versatility that extends not just sonically, but also stylistically. S.Coups: Boss Choi Seungcheol (Seventeen), known as S.Coups,  made a headline-worthy runway debut, closing the BOSS S/S ’26 Womenswear show, “Paradox.” His runway cameo had him don an elevated ensemble featuring a head-to-toe BOSS look. The cherry on top was the dark brown leather trench coat with buttoned detailing, gleaming under the flash of the spotlight. Adding to that, in what can be termed a multiverse-of-madness moment, Indian actor Ishaan Khatter was spotted front row alongside British football icon David Beckham. Hyunjin: Versace The Versace “prince” Hwang Hyunjin received a royal welcome as fans and press swarmed him ahead of the Versace S/S26 showcase. The Stray Kids member, who earned the regal title from Donatella Versace herself, is also the Korean brand ambassador, alongside Ningning of Aespa. Posing in a statement black leather bomber jacket and signature Versace glasses, he gave a modern spin to the vintage Hollywood heartthrob archetype. Known for combining streetwear and luxury in a gender-fluid manner, the rapper, singer, and dancer is fashion’s favorite muse. He was seen in attendance alongside English model Romeo Beckham and Chinese actor Ding Yuxi. Read More

Entertainment The song is a reminder that in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, there’s still room for connection and love eaJ. Photo: courtesy of the artist. In his new single “Put it on Me,” eaJ isn’t trying too hard to get your attention. Instead, the song subtly evokes intimacy and reassurance, keeping you hooked from the very beginning. From the opening lines, “I don’t mess with trouble, but for you, I might be down for it,” the sincerity is palpable. It’s a reflection on how love isn’t about making grand gestures, but about having the humble determination to be there for someone, no matter what. “The sound of the track was inspired by a lot of different artists: Mk.gee/Jon Bellion/Dijon/etc,” eaJ tells Rolling Stone India, elaborating that he wanted it to feel like a warm, lingering late-night talk. The production mixes alternative pop, R&B, and indie sensibilities with synth and percussive snaps spaced out in a way that lets his vocals breathe. There’s something special about this song. Maybe it’s the way eaJ’s voice wraps around the lyrics, and makes it sound like a promise. As he sings, “Don’t your head hurt? Why keep it all on the inside? We can share the weight if you hold up your side. So tell me now,” he offers a gentle reminder about the value of human connection in a world where it’s easy to feel alone. “Put it on Me” reflects eaJ’s personal journey. Growing up in Buenos Aires, Korea, Canada, and California, the singer, songwriter, and former member of the popular Korean pop rock band Day6 often felt like he didn’t quite fit in anywhere. “It was really hard for me to make friends,” he admits in a press statement. Through music, he finally found his place, real friends, and a sense of belonging. The inspiration behind “Put it on Me” came from a moment when a fan, who had followed him for years, finally got to meet him at a festival in their hometown. “That moment brought me back to life, reaffirming I still had worth on this planet to some people,” he shares. The song’s music video has a classic black-and-white look, with eaJ and his band performing against the backdrop of an ocean. The monochromatic visuals go well with the song’s minimalist aesthetic, cutting out distractions to focus squarely on the music and emotional graph. It’s as if the black-and-white palette peels away the layers and gets to the heart of what’s real. With ‘Put it on Me,” eaJ is almost extending an open hand, offering hope and support. “The message is simple. I feel like there are a lot of people who find it hard to unload the weight they carry to the people around them. Maybe it’s time to give yourself the help you deserve and give your surroundings the perspective they deserve.” Read More

Alongside the release, Singh also dropped the video for “Mafia.” Featuring Nargis Fakhri, the video’s cinematic style sets the tone for the album’s scale and variety. “51 Glorious Days is not just an album, it’s my life’s biggest celebration,” Singh said in a statement. “51 tracks, 51 moods, 51 ways to say that Yo Yo Honey Singh is here to stay. I wanted to give my fans something that has never been done before, something they’ll remember forever. Every beat, every lyric, every collab on this album is fire. I’ve poured my heart, my hustle, and my madness into it. This is history in the making, and I promise, it’s only the beginning. Har Har Mahadev.” The release adds a new chapter to Singh’s comeback story. By presenting such a large collection of music in one go, he underlines both his productivity and his ongoing influence in Indian pop and hip-hop. Singh has previously drawn criticism for lyrics seen as misogynistic and vulgar, and has candidly shared his long struggle with drug addiction and mental health challenges.

Entertainment In the much-awaited sequel to roguelike hit Hades, step into Melinoë’s shoes as she battles Chronos, the Titan of Time. The Greek mythos is a vast, rich, colorful palette and features an endless cast of characters with strong motivations and, on occasion, questionable actions. It isn’t surprising that it is a source of inspiration for a lot of modern media, be it films (Troy 2004, books (Percy Jackson series), comics (Lore Olympus) or video games (God of War 2005). Even the least enlightened members of the populace have at least a working knowledge of the Olympic Pantheon.     But Hades brought a long forgotten Greek God hiding in the shadows of Orphic mythology and thrust him into the spotlight —Zagreus. While his origins are as obscure as the depths of Erebus, Supergiant Games gave him a tether. Basing him off one of Aeschylus’ lost Sisyphus plays, Zagreus in Hades is the Prince of the Underworld, son of Hades and Persephone. A quick refresher for the uninitiated; Hades is the Greek God of the Dead whose domain is the Underworld. He’s the older brother of Zeus, the King of Gods who wields thunder and lightning and Poseidon, the God of the Seas.   Hades saw Zagreus fight to break out of his dark domain and reach the surface. He was going to get out or die trying — again and again and again.   And now, in a strange twist of fate, his younger sister Melinoë is the opposite — she’s trying to break into the Underworld, over and over and over again.   This is a historic first for Supergiant Games because they aren’t known to make sequels to any of their games. But again, there is much Greek mythology to explore. On May 6, 2024, the game hit Early Access, giving players a taste of what’s to come. Five hundred and seven days later, Hades II has officially launched.  Chronos, Titan of Time, has escaped from Tartarus, the deepest recesses of the Underworld with the intention of restoring his reign over the natural order. The result is a game that’s essentially a second Titanomachy. With the Hades and the rest of the Underworld denizens (including the ever-loyal Cerberus) out of commission, it falls squarely on the shoulders of young Melinoë, Princess of the Underworld to set things right once again. Will she be successful? Even with the might of the Olympians supporting her? Luckily for her (and you) she has an infinite number of chances to find out.  The sequel has a lot in common with its predecessor—they’re both roguelikes with similar controls, populated with familiar faces and both protagonists are the offspring of Hades and Persephone. At the same time, Hades II is strikingly distinct from Hades.  In the first game, all Zagreus had to contend with was the Underworld itself and the final boss was Daddy dearest, Hades himself. Zagreus was charming, impulsive, sometimes naïve, and often reckless in his way of handling things. It showed in his fighting skills as he battled his way out of his father’s domain. Zagreus’s strategy in Hades was more or less to brute-force every door open. His Infernal Arms were straight to the point (which were very sharp). He fought like he had nothing to lose, because he didn’t.   Melinoë in contrast is more reserved, serious, respectful, and incredibly hardworking. The stakes are higher this time. Knowing only life on the battlefield, she has never met her family, but holds them in very high regard. Trained under Hecate, Witch of the Crossroads, Melinoë wields Magick (an expendable energy resource to cast spells) , allowing her to use devastating Ω-moves, which turn the tide of battle in her favor. Executing these Ω-moves require careful thought, especially while running around trying to avoid getting hit by opponents, striking with her Nocturnal Arms, setting up a counterattack and simultaneously keeping track of her Magick reserves.   In addition to this, Melinoë also has access to Hexes, bestowed by the Moon Goddess, Selene. When the Magick cost has been met, she can use these Hexes. Melinoë can choose one of three Hexes each night, and can even continue to upgrade them via the skill tree —the Path of The Stars.  The Melinoë in Greek mythology is often associated with Hecate, possibly the reason for Hades II to define their relationship as student and teacher. Being associated with witchcraft, suffice to say, Melinoë is a witch-in-training herself. And every good witch needs a bubbling cauldron. In the Crossroads, which is where Melinoë and her allies reside, there is a large cauldron. This cauldron allows Melinoë to perform various Incantations to aid her in her journey.    Animal lovers can rejoice — Melinoë doesn’t need to venture into battle alone. The game features Familiars, who are animal companions that accompany Melinoë on her quest. There are a total of five that can be unlocked when the criteria are met. Each Familiar has a specific skill so Melinoë can decide who gets to tag along depending on what build the player is going for.    There’s also a dress-up element in the game. Arachne’s Silken Fineries lets Melinoë change the color of her outfit. These provide armor as well as boost certain abilities depending on what dress Melinoë decides to don for the run. One provides extra health, another generates Magick, while others affect attacks and supplies.    Hades II is a much larger canvas than Hades. Chronos has attacked two extremes—the Underworld and Mount Olympus, —and Melinoë must strike both locations. Both paths have their own unique enemies, mini-bosses, Guardians and inhabitants (Arachne can only be encountered when going down to Tartarus, while Icarus is always found en route to Mount Olympus). Not only have the locations doubled, but so has the cast.  With all the Olympians up in arms, Melinoë has quite a lot of people (including gods) who are eager to help in the form of boons. There are any number of permutations and combinations of what boon she’ll get and

Entertainment Artists like Raja Kumari, lyricist Kumaar, composer Ujwal Gupta and Shilpa Rao are all praise for Aryan Khan’s debut outing as series creator For all its over-the-top yet all-too-familiar approach to telling a Bollywood story, the new Netflix series The Ba***ds of Bollywood needed an equally adrenaline-pumping soundtrack to match. The series creator and director, Aryan Khan, who had already assembled a star cast for the series, brings some of the biggest desi music stars under one massive, 13-track soundtrack. Released via T-series, it’s not very often you see everyone from Punjabi stars Diljit Dosanjh and Karan Aujla in the same album as hitmakers Anirudh Ravichander, Arijit Singh, Jubin Nautiyal, Vishal Dadlani, Shilpa Rao, B Praak, Raja Kumari, Jasmine Sandlas, and Faheem Abdullah. Composers Shashwat Sachdev and Ujwal Gupta handled most of the songs between themselves, with Khan contributing to the lyric writing as well as the creative direction. While the likes of Singh and Ravichander on the same track swiftly propelled songs like “Badli Si Hawa Hai” to prominence, the ballad “Tu Pehli Tu Aakhri” also has accrued millions of streams. Karan Aujla’s action-packed “Movie Scene” is steadily climbing up, as is Dosanjh’s contribution, the rock-aided “Tenu Ki Pata” composed by Gupta. A relatively lesser-known composer on the soundtrack, Gupta also offers up the hyped up high-pitched banger “Ghafoor” that’s been trending on social media. Rao, who also teamed up with “Sajna Tu Baimaan” for Sachdev (alongside fellow star artist B Praak), tells Rolling Stone India that it was “absolutely fun working on both tracks.” She adds, “Tried new ideas, and Shashwat and Aryan both grabbed it and pushed me further to go all out.” Shilpa Rao. Photo: Courtesy of the artist B Praak says he brought raw energy to “Sajna Tu Baimaan.” He adds, “[The song] is packed with energy and intensity, and I felt it had to capture both pain and power at the same time.” The hitmaker shouts out The Ba***ds of Bollywood creator as well. “I truly feel Aryan has created something fearless and fresh with this show; it’s layered and it’s unapologetic.” The tempo goes even higher with Raja Kumari’s songs “Revolver” and “Everybody Knows.” The rapper and singer-songwriter likens making “Revolver,” similar to working on the title track from Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan. There’s an unmistakable hip-hop quality but also a fiery, cinematic edge, with “Everybody Knows” being a fully English track that’s meant for “Lord Bobby,” as Raja refers to acting veteran Bobby Deol’s character Ajay Talvar. “Revolver,” which also marks a tick on Raja Kumari’s wish list to sing on the same track as Vishal Dadlani, is more of a “hero anthem” according to the artist. Raja Kumari. Photo: Courtesy of the artist She adds, “I got so much direction from Aryan—he’s the one that called me, sang the melody to me, and described the feeling he wanted from the song.” Raja had got a call while in Los Angeles, so the recordings were remote, but the conversations with Khan ranged from scene descriptions to telling her what he wanted to “feel as the viewer.” Raja adds with a laugh, “Every time he would sing the melody, I kept teasing him that he’s got such a great voice that we should work on his album next.” Ujwal Gupta can credit his time studying at the University of Southern California as his introduction to Khan, who was pursuing a filmmaking course at the time. Gupta, who adds a rock edge to The Ba***ds of Bollywood soundtrack, says, “Over the course of our time there, we got to understand each other’s work ethic and creative process, and we even collaborated on a few class projects. So, when the idea for this show came about, he reached out and offered me the chance to work on it. I didn’t have to think twice; I jumped at the opportunity.” Composer Ujwal Gupta. Photo: Courtesy of the artist While he’s been known for a few pop hits, Gupta got to scale new heights with “incredible artists.” He adds, “It became much larger than I could’ve ever imagined for my first big outing.” Among the earliest songs that came to life was “Tenu Ki Pata,” written about four years ago when Khan had first conceptualized the narrative of The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Gupta says he was in Chennai when work began, but the process was collaborative and Khan was decisive. “He [Khan] even lent his vocals to some of the demos, and in the case of ‘Tenu Ki Pata,’ we actually ended up using his voice in the final track, which gave it a unique touch,” the composer adds. Gupta worked on a handful of songs, but also the background score for the show, creating “character themes” with Khan as well. “It was very fulfilling for me personally since scoring a full-length film is something I hope to do in the future,” he adds. Gupta also turned vocalist on the Sachdev-composed “Ghafoor.” Throughout, Gupta justifies the rock edge because he’s primarily a guitarist. “A lot of the initial ideas for the show started with guitar riffs, and they naturally fit into the soundscape Aryan had envisioned,” Gupta adds. On the lyrical side of the soundtrack, prolific writer and poet Kumaar was attached to the project. “The brief was very clear from the beginning: the songs had to carry the rebellious, youthful spirit of the show while still connecting emotionally with the audience,” he says. Having written some of the earliest hits from The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Kumaar worked in romance even within a mostly expletive-filled, edgy show. The writer says, “‘Tenu Ki Pata’ was another fun one, it had this cheeky, playful vibe that instantly brought energy into the room.” The Ba***ds of Bollywood clearly has Khan’s music taste imprinted all over. Kumaar lauds Khan for having a “sharp ear for rhythm and rhyming. “He was deeply involved and very particular about the mood and tone he wanted the songs to reflect. He constantly reminded

Published on: Sept 27, 2025 10:43 pm IST Helmetless ride can hit entire family hard, says MP CM Yadav Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday appealed to people to wear helmets, underscoring that even a seemingly small act of negligence, such as not using the protective gear, can have consequences for the entire family. Helmetless ride can hit entire family hard, says MP CM Yadav Road accidents are the leading cause of unnatural deaths in India, mostly due to negligence, speeding, not wearing helmets or seat belts, a government statement said, quoting the CM. Yadav was speaking during a free helmet distribution programme, organised on Atal Path in Bhopal as part of the ongoing ‘Seva Pakhwada’, to promote road safety awareness. During the event, 2,100 helmets were distributed to youth. The CM also flagged off a two-wheeler rally. As responsible citizens, people must value their families by ensuring their own safety, the CM said. Two-wheeler riders must pledge to wear helmets always, which serve as a protective shield and can save lives, he added. Yadav said the Road Safety Awareness Week, launched during the Navratri festival, is a commendable initiative promoting awareness about saving lives. He urged the people of the state to wear helmets and follow road safety rules diligently, said the statement. A seemingly small act of negligence, such as not using a helmet, can hit an entire family, he said. The chief minister stressed that it is the responsibility of young people to take care of their own safety. “Similarly, following traffic rules, avoiding overspeeding, and ensuring safety are equally important responsibilities of young citizens,” he said. The CM said patrolling squads, check posts, digital challans, speed guns, live traffic monitoring and FASTag systems are being deployed to reduce road accidents. Under the ‘Rahveer Yojana’, any responsible citizen who takes an accident victim to the hospital will be rewarded with ₹25,000. The government has also been running special campaigns to promote safe travel and adherence to traffic rules, he said. After the CM left, a large number of people reached the venue and jostled to grab free helmets, with some even succeeding, an official said, requesting anonymity.

Published on: Sept 27, 2025 10:37 pm IST Telangana CM hands over Group 1 appointment letters; announces law to penalise neglect of parents Hyderabad, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday handed over appointment letters to newly-appointed Group 1 services officers, successful in the competitive examination conducted in the state after a gap of nearly 13 years. Telangana CM hands over Group 1 appointment letters; announces law to penalise neglect of parents Addressing the gathering here, Reddy said a law would soon be introduced to deduct 10 per cent of the salary of those who neglect their parents, though he did not provide specific details. “I congratulate the parents. Your dreams are going to come true. I suggest that all those present here should take proper care of their parents. I am going to bring in a law—if you don’t take care of your parents, I will deduct 10 per cent of your salary and deposit it in your parents’ account,” he said. Attacking the previous BRS government, Reddy alleged that the past rulers “betrayed the youth”, despite being elected on the promise of fulfilling the aspirations of the six-decades-long Telangana statehood struggle. Observing that the Group 1 services exam was last held in undivided Andhra Pradesh in 2011, he criticised the BRS government for “not conducting the recruitment despite being in power for 10 years” after Telangana’s formation in 2014. He questioned whether the BRS government had lived up to the aspirations of those who sacrificed their lives for Telangana. Reddy alleged that the BRS had appointed individuals like Registered Medical Practitioners as members of the State Public Service Commission, which selects Group 1 officers. He also alleged conspiracies by some competitive exam coaching centres, claiming that aspirants’ years-long preparation served as a source of income for such centres. Reddy urged the newly-recruited officers to note who filed cases in courts challenging the exam process and who paid hefty lawyer fees to pursue those cases. He called upon them to work towards building a bright future for Telangana. The State Public Service Commission recruited 562 officers through the Group 1 services exam conducted last year.
