In an interview with PTI, Mr Joy said that although 76-year-old Sheikh Hasina would return to Bangladesh, it has not yet been decided whether she will be back as a "retired or active" politician.

Met Gala 2025: BLACKPINK's Jennie, Rose And Lisa Shine In Style

The 2025 Met Gala was all about fashion, and who better to bring the heat than the K-pop icons themselves? Our favourite idols turned heads and dropped jaws at fashion's biggest night in New York City on May 5.  Among the showstoppers were three queens from BLACKPINK – Jennie, Lisa, and Rose – making their first-ever group appearance at the gala (well, almost full group... more on that later).
