Kartik Aaryan compares Ariana Grande to Aishwarya, video goes viral

As his film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ releases on Friday (today), Kartik Aaryan, who replaced Akshay Kumar in the sequel of the 2007 psychological horror comedy, compared the ‘Guru’ actress Aishawarya Rai Bachchan to American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande.
Kartik was speaking with YouTuber and comic artiste Tanmay Bhat during the promotions of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ where he was shown a picture of Aishwarya Rai with her hair tied up in a high ponytail.
Looking at the picture Tanmay said, “Oh right, she does look like Ariana Grande,” to which, Kartik replied, “Rather, Ariana looks like Aishwarya Rai.”
The video since then has gone viral with a lot people sharing the clip across the platform. People took to the comments section of the video and supported Kartik’s line of thought. One social media user wrote, “Totally yes!! And though I like Ariana, she can’t be compared to Goddess Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.”
Another user shared the clip of the interview and said, “I love how Kartik Aryan said Aishwarya Rai is not looking like Ariana rather Ariana looking like Aishwarya.”
Meanwhile, Aishwarya is currently at the French Riviera town along with her husband, actor Abhishek Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya. Aishwarya, who is a regular attendee at the Cannes Film Festival for years now, marked her presence at the 75th Cannes Film Festival’s red carpet recently where she was seen dressed in a black-floral gown.

David Attenborough to explore marine secrets, threats in World Oceans Day documentary

Mumbai, June 6: Biologist, natural historian and writer David Attenborough is taking a deep dive into our oceans. He is set to take the audience in the realm of the marine world with his upcoming documentary film ‘Ocean by David Attenborough’ on National Geographic.
The film is set to release on the occasion of World Oceans Day.
The powerful documentary talks about the importance of the world’s oceans and the story of how we can, and must, restore the glory of Earth’s vast, interconnected waters.
The film draws upon extensive marine science and was supported by a team of scientific advisors, including National Geographic Pristine Seas Founder, Enric Sala.
The film features footage of bottom trawling, the act of dragging weighted fishing nets along the ocean floor, and its devastating effects on the ocean. Only by revealing this footage to the world and exposing what’s happening beneath the surface can people begin to understand the devastating impact it is having and the urgent risk it poses to our ocean.
Talking about the film, Attenborough said, “My lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Over the last hundred years, scientists and explorers have revealed remarkable new species, epic migrations, and dazzling, complex ecosystems beyond anything I could have imagined as a young man. In this film, we share those wonderful discoveries, uncover why our ocean is in such poor health, and, perhaps most importantly, show how it can bounce back to life.”
Tom McDonald, National Geographic’s executive vice president of Global Factual and Unscripted Content, said, “I’m thrilled that audiences worldwide will be able to engage with Sir David’s signature storytelling and the inspirational message of this film through the power of National Geographic’s global platforms. There is no one better to deliver this landmark film than Sir David, and I’m delighted that he’s working with National Geographic for the very first time on a subject that is timely and close to his heart.”
The documentary focuses on the human actions leading to the oceans’ collapse and the effects of destructive fishing techniques, such as dredging and bottom trawling, on entire marine ecosystems, coastal communities, and the global climate.
Alok Jain, President – Entertainment, JioStar added: “At National Geographic India, we believe that storytelling has the power to ignite change. OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH is a landmark film that reminds us how interconnected we are with our oceans, even here in India, where over 11,000 kilometers of coastline support vibrant marine life and millions of livelihoods. Through David Attenborough’s unmatched narration and breathtaking visuals, we hope to inspire Indians to see our oceans not just as distant waters but as living systems that need our urgent protection.This is not just a global story – it is our story too.”
The film is directed by Toby Nowlan, Keith Scholey and Colin Butfield and produced by Nowlan for Silverback Films. The film is a Silverback Films and Open Planet Studios co-production.
‘Ocean by David Attenborough’ is set to release on June 8 on National Geographic and JioHotstar.
