#breaking: The Mahajan family’s first trip to NYC ended in mourning after the death of their 18-year-old son, NYT reported. The family was on a horse-drawn carriage ride around 2:45 p.m. in Central Park, when the driver got off to take a photo of the family, the father told NYT. But then, the horse bolted, speeding up before it crashed. “We were yelling, ‘Help me, help me!’” Romanch Mahajan’s father, Deepak, 44, told NYT. His wife, Priya, fell out of the carriage, so Romanch jumped down to try to help. But he didn’t get up. By around 7:15 p.m., he had died from his injuries, West Side Rag wrote. The other family members, including Romanch’s younger brother, sustained minor injuries. The incident has renewed outrage over the horse-drawn carriage industry and its treatment of horses. On June 9, a horse named Deniz collapsed and died in Central Park after eating a plant toxic to horses. “This is unacceptable. A driver is not supposed to leave the carriage to take photos — ever,” Alexander Kemp, a VP of the horse carriage industry union, said in a statement. “We support a full investigation.” The driver has been suspended and the horse involved, named Sampson, has been retired. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the death a “horrific incident.” “I look forward to working with…community leaders to deliver a just transition that protects workers while ending horse-drawn carriages in Central Park once and for all.” The Mahajan family was celebrating Romanch’s graduation from high school. He was set to begin studying at Manipal University Jaipur for college. “It took my son’s dream away,” Deepak Mahajan told NYT.

“I am really okay with the way I look…all this is transient…it changes with time,” Aishwarya Rai once said. This was the actor and Miss World’s response when 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon asked her in 2004 “if she’s happy with the way she looks.” Over 20 years later, the clip is going viral again as people dissect Rai’s Cannes appearance — and how society judges women who age in the spotlight.

Actors Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus, and Tom Holland, who plays his son Telemachus, also joined Nolan. “No one brings energy to a movie theater like you do here,” Holland told Indian fans. Mumbai is the third stop on The Odyssey’s global tour, after London and Paris.

Happy birthday to Fawad Khan 🌟 Who remembers this moment? Before he became the jacked prince in Khoobsurat (2014), the beloved son and brother in Kapoor & Sons (2016), the punk DJ in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), or the devoted husband in Humsafar (2011) and Zindagi Gulzar Hai (2012), Fawad Khan was a computer programmer, singer, rock band member, and painfully shy. Born to a Punjabi family in Lahore, he probably didn’t imagine he’d become a sensation across the border, in #Bollywood — and win over everyone from Deepika Padukone to Amitabh Bachchan. When he met the Kaun Banega Crorepati host while promoting Khoobsurat, he sang him a song from Bachchan’s Satte Pe Satta (1982), sung by Kishore Kumar and composed by R.D. Burman. Read our story on how #Hindicinema loved and lost fawadkhan at the link in bio, then click this image 🔗 What’s your favorite #FawadKhan role? 👇🏾 🎥 via Kaun Banega Crorepati {Bollywood, Indian cinema, Hindi film, Hindi cinema, Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Humsafar, Maula Jatt, Neelofar, Ms. Marvel, Aabeer Gulaal, Barzakh}
