Family News to Fashion Moments

From Sabyasachi’s classic elegance to Masaba Gupta’s contemporary Indian aesthetic, Deepika and Ranveer’s family portraits reflect two distinct expressions of Indian fashion. For Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, special family milestones have also turned into memorable fashion moments. From choosing Sabyasachi for their first daughter Dua’s introduction to opting for Masaba Gupta’s creations for their younger daughter Devi’s debut, the couple have brought together personal celebrations and Indian designer wear in a distinctive way. The latest family photograph, introducing little Devi Padukone Singh to the world, attracted attention not just for the heartwarming occasion but also for the family’s coordinated outfits. Deepika, Ranveer and their daughters, Dua and Devi, were dressed in ensembles from House of Masaba, giving the intimate family moment a festive fashion touch. Known for her contemporary interpretation of traditional Indian silhouettes, Masaba Gupta has carved a distinct identity in the fashion industry through her bold prints, vibrant colours and unconventional design sensibility. Her designs often combine familiar Indian motifs with modern cuts and unexpected colour combinations, offering an alternative to more conventional occasion wear. The family’s decision to wear her label placed the designer at the centre of another widely noticed celebrity fashion moment. Interestingly, the choice marked a departure from the couple’s earlier family announcement. When Deepika and Ranveer introduced Dua to the public last year, they opted for creations by celebrated couturier Sabyasachi Mukherjee, whose designs are known for their traditional craftsmanship, intricate detailing and timeless appeal. The contrast between the two occasions highlights different expressions of Indian fashion. While Sabyasachi’s signature aesthetic brought classic elegance to Dua’s introduction, Masaba’s contemporary design language added a fresh dimension to the family’s latest appearance. The choice of designer also shaped the visual mood of each announcement, showing how clothing can complement an occasion without taking attention away from the family itself. Coordinated dressing has become a familiar feature of celebrity family photographs, particularly when a personal occasion is shared with the public. When done well, it creates a visual connection between the people in the frame without requiring identical outfits. Colour, prints, silhouettes and accessories can bring the look together while allowing each person’s ensemble to retain its own character. In this instance, the family’s choice of a single label gave the photograph a cohesive look. Deepika and Ranveer have long been associated with some of India’s leading fashion designers, frequently making headlines for their sartorial choices at weddings, film events and public appearances. Their preference for Indian labels during significant personal occasions also reflects the visibility that homegrown designers enjoy when celebrities wear their creations beyond the runway. What makes these two appearances particularly interesting is how fashion has become part of the visual narrative surrounding the couple’s family milestones. Rather than elaborate public events, it is the simplicity of the photographs, complemented by carefully chosen designer ensembles, that has made both announcements stand out. The clothing adds another layer to the images, giving fashion followers a point of interest alongside the personal news. From Sabyasachi’s classic grandeur to Masaba Gupta’s modern Indian aesthetic, the two family portraits offer a glimpse of how different designers have become part of Deepika and Ranveer’s most cherished personal moments. They also show how a celebrity’s choice of clothing can introduce different interpretations of Indian design to a wide audience, even in a photograph centred on an intimate family occasion

India working on logistics of Tahawwur Rana's extradition

Tahawwur Rana

Washington: India is working on the logistics of Tahawwur Rana's surrender and extradition from the US, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has said, as President Donald Trump announced that his administration has given the go-ahead to extradite the 26/11 terror attack accused “to face justice".

“This is an issue on which the US authorities have taken very clear decisions. I think you've seen the President announce it himself from the White House podium" the decision of the US to extradite Rana, Misri said at a press conference here on Thursday.


During a joint press conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the White House, US President Donald Trump announced that his administration has approved the extradition of "very evil" Tahawwur Rana, wanted by Indian law enforcement agencies for his role in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, "to face justice in India”.


In response to a question by PTI on the timeframe by when Rana will be extradited to India, Misri said: "We are working on the logistics of his surrender and extradition to India. There are a few final steps to be completed. The two sides are in touch on this particular issue.”


The India-US joint statement issued during the Prime Minister's visit to the US notes that Modi and Trump reaffirmed that the global scourge of terrorism must be fought and terrorist safe havens eliminated from every corner of the world.

“They committed to strengthen cooperation against terrorist threats from groups, including Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Jaish-e Mohammad, and Lashkar-e-Tayyiba in order to prevent heinous acts like the attacks in Mumbai on 26/11 and the Abbey Gate bombing in Afghanistan on August 26, 2021," the joint statement said.


“Recognising a shared desire to bring to justice those who would harm our citizens, the US announced that the extradition to India of Tahawwur Rana has been approved," it said.


The leaders further called on Pakistan to expeditiously bring to justice the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai, and Pathankot attacks and ensure that its territory is not used to carry out cross-border terrorist attacks.

"The leaders also pledged to work together to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems and to deny access to such weapons by terrorists and non-state actors,” the joint statement added.

Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, is currently lodged at a metropolitan detention centre in Los Angeles. He is known to be associated with Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley, one of the main conspirators of the 26/11 attacks.

Speaking at the joint press meet, Trump said "Today I am pleased to announce that my administration has approved the extradition of one of the plotters and very evil people of the world, and having to do with the horrific Mumbai terrorist attack, to face justice in India. So, he is going back to India to face justice."


The extradition of Rana was cleared by the US Supreme Court in January as it rejected his review petition in the case.


India last month said it was working with American authorities for the early extradition of Rana.


"The US Supreme Court on January 21 declined to hear a petition from the accused. We are now working with the US side on procedural issues for early extradition to India of the accused in the Mumbai terror attack," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had said.


In November 2012, Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving gunman among the Pakistani group, was hanged to death in Yerawada Jail in Pune.
