Actor Ajith Kumar has become the latest celebrity to receive a bomb threat at his residence. The Vidaamuyarchi star&rsquo;s ECR house in Chennai was flagged with an alert about a hidden explosive, prompting the bomb squad to launch an investigation. Authorities have not disclosed any specifics regarding the explosive device or the identity of the sender, and inquiries are still ongoing.\r\nThis incident follows a similar email threat sent to the DGP office a few days earlier, warning of a bomb at actor Arun Vijay&rsquo;s Ekkattuthangal residence. A thorough sweep by the bomb squad and police found no device, yet an intensive probe continues to trace the origin of the email. Earlier this year, highâ€‘profile figures such as Rajinikanth, Dhanush, and actorâ€‘politician Vijay also faced bomb threats, and threats were issued to the homes of Trisha and Nayanthara.&nbsp;\r\nIn October, a bomb hoax targeted eminent composer Ilaiyaraaja&rsquo;s Tâ€¯Nagar studio, and the menace has extended to critical locations including the Chief Minister&rsquo;s residence, the Opposition leader&rsquo;s house, the Governor&rsquo;s Mansion, and major railway stations. Ajith Kumar, who recently appeared in Magizh Thirumeni&rsquo;s Vidaamuyarchi and Adhik Ravichandran&rsquo;s Good Bad Ugly, is set to reunite with Adhik for AK64.&nbsp;\r\nOn the racing front, his team Ajith Kumar Racing competed in 26 races across two continents and four series, including the 24H Middle East Trophy in Dubai, 24H European Series events, Porsche Sprint Challenge Southern Europe, and GT4 European Series circuits. The investigation remains active as law enforcement works to identify the culprit behind the escalating bomb threat trend targeting celebrities and public figures.

\r\nActor Tamannaah Bhatia, currently riding the wave of success across the big screen and OTT, has been in the spotlight for her physical transformation. While some trolls accused her of using the weightâ€‘loss drug Ozempic, others praised her new look. In a recent interview with Harper&rsquo;s Bazaar India, Bhatia opened up about these rumors and discussed whether she feels pressured to conform to global beauty standards.\r\nBhatia explained that she has always had a naturally slender frame, especially in her 20s. &ldquo;I have been in front of the camera since the age of 15 and people have seen me grow up in front of the camera, so there is nothing to hide,&rdquo; she said. She added, &ldquo;Till my late 20s, I was a slender body type. That was always my body. This body in which I am right now is technically not new to me.&rdquo;\r\nThe actor confessed that managing weight during the COVIDâ€‘19 pandemic was a struggle. &ldquo;For me, Covid hit my body really hard and it became difficult to keep my body in the same weight as it was in my 20s. I struggled with it. I love food, I love to eat my rice, roti, dal,&rdquo; she recalled.

Any woman who is going through the cycle feels like her body is shifting,&rdquo; she noted. She emphasized her cultural pride, saying, &ldquo;My curves are not going anywhere because I am Sindhi. That hip and waist is not going anywhere because that is bone structure.&rdquo; She added, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think you&rsquo;ll ever see me following global beauty standards because it&rsquo;s aspirational to be Indian, people love our curves, and I think it&rsquo;s time that we should embrace that.&rdquo;\r\n
