INSiDE THE WORLD OF SHAWN MENDES
After three No 1 albums and four major tours, the Vine star pop prince rapidly climbed the music royalty ranks. But time out from performance has given him pause to reflect on the peculiar loss that follows success and, last year, much of it came back to him – time with family, old friends, the simple acts of living. What’s more, it brought a pensive new record that reframes his young career and – lest we forget – lockdown’s most “liked” locks

Vijay Varma And The Perks And Perils Of The Bombay Hustle
In early 2018, when Vijay Varma walked into the Santacruz office of Excel Entertainment, he didn’t know what to expect. He had a meeting with Zoya Akhtar who’d liked his Gully Boy audition for the part of Moeen, a worn-out petty criminal from Dharavi, and protagonist Murad’s close friend. A few minutes after he walked in, Akhtar pulled out a camera and asked him to perform the same scene he’d enacted during the audition – the one in which Moeen is behind bars and Murad comes to visit him. While holding back tears, he tells Murad he’ll take the fall for the carjacking and that Murad shouldn’t get involved with the cops. If Murad doesn’t get this chance to follow his dreams, he could easily turn into another Moeen.

But given the rising tide of corona conspiracy theories – with some of the most outlandish directed at the Microsoft billionaire himself – the battle for people’s minds is becoming just as important as developing a vaccine. Here’s how the anti-vax lobby is quietly gaining a foothold in the Middle East – and the risks it poses
