Khushbu Sundar Shares Photo With Aarti Ravi And Kids Amid Feud With Ravi Mohan

Actor-politician Khushbu Sundar has made her stand pretty clear in the ongoing fallout between actor Ravi Mohan, his estranged wife Aarti Ravi and singer-healer Keneeshaa Francis.

On Saturday, Khushbu shared a picture on Instagram and called Aarti and her children “my family”. Along with red heart emojis and the hashtag #myfamily, the photo featured Khushbu posing with her daughters Avantika and Anandita, Aarti, producer Sujatha Vijayakumar, and Aarti's sons Aarav and Ayaan. Everyone in the frame was smiling, and the post quickly grabbed attention online.

The post comes days after Khushbu's name got dragged into the messy public back-and-forth surrounding Ravi, Aarti, and Keneeshaa. While Khushbu did not directly mention the controversy in her caption, many online saw the post as her way of openly supporting Aarti.

Ravi and Aarti got married in 2009. In 2024, Ravi announced that they were separating. Soon after, rumours about Ravi dating Keneeshaa started doing the rounds. The speculation grew stronger in 2025 when Ravi and Keneeshaa attended a wedding together in matching outfits.

Things turned ugly earlier this month after a comment from Keneeshaa's Instagram account allegedly targeted Aarti. Keneeshaa later claimed that her account had been hacked and said she was facing bullying online. She also denied being the reason behind Ravi and Aarti's split.

A day later, Keneeshaa shared another emotional note saying she was quitting music, leaving Chennai, and distancing herself from Ravi.

Around the same time, Aarti posted a message saying that she would speak up whenever needed to protect her children and her dignity. Khushbu reacted strongly in the comments section and wrote, “Never mess with a mother. And you are a lioness with her cubs. More power to you my baby.”

Soon after, Ravi held an emotional press meet in Chennai where he made fresh allegations, indirectly mentioned Khushbu, and also said he would stay away from acting until his divorce with Aarti is finalised.

Watch: Arjun Tendulkar Scalps 1st Wicket Of IPL 2026, Muted Celebrates Follows

Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, made his debut for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2026 on Saturday, and also took his first wicket of the tournament. Tendulkar bowled an inch-perfect yorker in his third over to dismiss Punjab Kings (PBKS) opener Prabhsimran Singh, trapping him LBW. The left-arm pacer, however, did not celebrate it much, with LSG in a losing position. Tendulkar had a golden opportunity to dismiss Prabhsimran in his very first over, but LSG skipper Rishabh Pant squandered a simple catch.

When Tendulkar got Prabhsimran's wicket on the final ball of the 15th over, PBKS were already in the driving seat and on their way to victory, chasing a target of 197.

Tendulkar was not animated in his celebration, instead just exchanging high-fives with some of his teammates.

The 26-year-old was one of LSG's better bowlers despite their defeat, finishing with figures of 1/36 in four overs.

He had a big opportunity to pick up Prabhsimran's wicket in his first over, as the PBKS star gloved a short delivery. However, Rishabh Pant uncharacteristically dropped a catch.

Tendulkar also got a chance to bat towards the end, making 5 runs in as many balls.

Tendulkar had been traded to LSG ahead of the IPL 2026 auction. It was the first time that he had joined a franchise other than Mumbai Indians (MI), where his father Sachin had played for six seasons.

Punjab Kings ultimately clinched victory over LSG to keep their IPL 2026 playoffs hopes alive. PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer slammed a stunning unbeaten 101 to guide his side to victory with two overs to go.

PBKS ended their six-game losing streak and necessarily so, moving up to 15 points with their seventh win of the IPL 2026 season. Their qualification to the playoffs depends on how Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) fare on the final day of the league stage.

Chand Mera Dil 1st Review: Ananya Panday's Film Is Not A 'Typical Love Story'

Ananya Panday and Lakshya's romantic drama Chand Mera Dil is finally ready to hit the big screens tomorrow, and the first review is already building excitement. 

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh watched the film and has given it a promising 3.5-star rating, calling it an "impactful" watch that offers much more than a typical love story.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday evening, Taran shared his thoughts on the film and hinted that audiences should brace themselves for a few surprises.

He wrote, "Expect the unexpected, because this isn't your regular love story... Winsome performances, several terrific emotional moments, and soulful music are its strengths... The second half could've been sharper."

According to him, while Chand Mera Dil may initially appear to be a conventional romance, it soon takes an unexpected turn.

He added, "#ChandMeraDil may come across as a typical love story since the makers haven't revealed much in the promotional material... And while the film does appear to follow a familiar path in the first 30 minutes, it shifts gears soon after and takes you completely by surprise."

Taran also had high praise for director Vivek Soni.

"Director Vivek Soni packs warmth, tenderness, and relatable moments into the narrative, but it's the emotional quotient that elevates the film further... In fact, he ensures the tension builds gradually, never making it feel rushed. A particular sequence set at a plush restaurant in the second half takes the conflict to an altogether new level... The director's storytelling prowess comes to the fore brilliantly in this standout sequence," he continued.

However, he did point out one area where it falls short.

He wrote, "The only stumbling block is the second half, which feels stretched at places and could've been tighter... In fact, the conflict loses some steam before the finale regains momentum."

The lead pair, however, seems to have left a strong impression on him, particularly Lakshya, who appears to have stepped far away from his Kill image.

"#ChandMeraDil rests on the able shoulders of its lead pair... Lakshya catches you completely off guard - he is fantastic... You walk in carrying the image of the action hero from Kill, but walk out impressed by an actor who excels in emotional moments... He handles the emotional beats exceptionally well."

Taran also praised Ananya Panday's growth as an actor, suggesting this performance may surprise viewers.

"Ananya Panday continues to grow with every film... After Kesari Chapter 2, this is yet another performance that will take people by surprise... She delivers a restrained and mature act."

He concluded by appreciating the supporting cast, music, and writing.

"Paresh Pahuja makes an impact despite limited screen time. The soundtrack is a highlight and blends seamlessly with the narrative... The title track stands out the most... The dialogues are well-written and, at places, make you reflect on real-life emotions and relationships."
