1. Kubra Khan’s Birthday Bash Goes Viral Across Borders
On June 22, 2026, Kubra Khan celebrated her birthday in London in the company of Bollywood’s Sara Ali Khan and legendary veteran actress Sharmila Tagore. A viral clip shows the trio sharing a table, laughing and singing along — and the internet has lost its collective mind.
