FROM salad dressings to bread dips and roasted veg, olive oil has long been celebrated as a kitchen staple with powerful health benefits.

A cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil was hailed as an elixir of youth and health in ancient Greece.

The golden liquid may raise cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease[/caption]

And swathes of new research suggest it lives up to the hype, slashing the risk of disease and early death.

But scientists now believe oleic acid, a common fat found in olive oil, helps fat cells grow and multiply, potentially driving weight gain faster than other oils.

US researchers behind the study urged home cooks to “moderate” their olive oil intake, “especially high-risk individuals.”

“If someone is at risk for heart disease, high levels of oleic acid may not be a good idea,” they wrote.

This comes amid growing concern from experts who warn that guzzling too much of the golden liquid may raise cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease.

In the new study, published in Cell Reports, scientists fed mice diets enriched with specific fats found in olive oil, coconut oil, lard, peanut oil, milk, and soybeans.

They found oleic acid activated a protein called AKT2 while suppressing another, LXR, triggering the formation of new fat cells.

“You can think of the fat cells as an army,” said study co-author Dr Michael Rudolph, assistant professor of biochemistry and physiology at the University of Oklahoma.

“When you give oleic acid, it initially increases the number of ‘fat cell soldiers’ in the army, which creates a larger capacity to store excess nutrients.

“This means that over time, obesity can occur, which can then lead to cardiovascular disease or diabetes if not controlled.”

The researchers admit most people don’t eat fats in isolation, they’re mixed into salads and burgers.

But diets high in oleic acid, especially from ultra-processed foods, could be bad news for your heart.

“I think the take-home message is moderation and to consume fats from a variety of different sources,” he said.

“Relatively balanced levels of oleic acid seem to be beneficial, but higher and prolonged levels may be detrimental. If someone is at risk for heart disease, high levels of oleic acid may not be a good idea.”

For years, olive oil has been the go-to fat for dietitians and chefs alike.

Just last year another, US study emerged suggesting more than half a tablespoon of olive oil a day can cut Alzheimer’s risk by 28 per cent.

Meanwhile, an NHS trial found that oleic acid could help treat incurable brain tumours.

Celebs and influencers also can’t get enough of it.

Dua Lipa drizzles it on ice cream, and Kourtney Kardashian swears by it as a hair treatment.

Top chef Jamie Oliver is known for generously pouring olive oil over his dishes.

And silicon Valley biohacker Bryan Johnson drinks spoonfuls of olive oil each morning and sells his own brand as part of a pricey anti-ageing plan.

‘Olive oil isn’t something to demonise’

Despite the new findings, Robert Hobson, nutritionist at Healthspan and author of Unprocess Your Family Life, said olive oil is still the “best” choice for everyday cooking, because of its “health benefits”.

“It helps lower cholesterol, because it increase good cholesterol, but lower bad cholesterol,” he told Sun Health.

Cholesterol is a substance found in fats that’s needed to build healthy cells, but can increase the risk of heart disease if levels are too high.

“You’ve also got things like pleocanthal, which is that peppery taste in olive oil, and that helps to reduce inflammation as well. “

But people should use it “sparingly” because it is a fat, he said.

“Too much of any oil leads to weight gain,” he explained.

“A tablespoon has about 150 calories, but you only need a teaspoon to cook with.”

“It’s easy to drizzle loads in without realising and that’s where the problem is.”

He added: “People in the Mediterranean have been using olive oil for hundreds of years.

“It’s part of one of the healthiest diets in the world, olive oil isn’t something to demonise.”

JAKE PAUL says he is in talks to fight TWO of the cruiserweight world champions – having ranked the title holders.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer – who only debuted as a professional in 2020 – has set his sights on challenging for 200lb gold after just 12 fights.

IBF champ Jai Opetaia has no interest in Jake Paul[/caption]

Current WBA and WBO unified champ Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez returns on Paul’s June 28 undercard and WBC boss Badou Jack is also on his radar.

Australia’s pound-for-pound star and IBF holder Jai Opetaia is considered the best of the bunch – and Paul is in agreement.

He said: “Zurdo and Jai are probably tied for No1 and I would say Badou is No2.

“But all formidable opponents and we’re in conversations with Zurdo and also Badou as as potential fights for next year.”

Ramirez, 33, faces Cuban Yuniel Dorticos, 39, the night Paul returns against former middleweight world champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

And promoter Oscar de la Hoya has talked up a shock bout between Ramirez and Paul in the future.

Meanwhile Jack, 41, opened the door to defending his green and gold belt against the former Disney Channel actor, sparking behind-the-scenes conversations.

But Opetaia, 29, has refused to even entertain a fight with Paul as he looks to cement himself as a legitimate great with his eyes on the heavyweight division.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

And Paul was probed on why the Aussie phenomenon was not joined by Ramirez and Jack on his list of potential title fights.

But he said: “It might line up but at the end of the day, there’s 100 people that want to fight me.

“I got Canelo, Gervonta (Davis), Anthony Joshua, Badou, Zurdo, Tommy Fury, KSI, the list keeps on going. 

“So it’s just about what makes sense and we’ll see when the negotiations come but  I would for sure entertain a fight with him.”

Paul drops back down to the 14st 4lb cruiserweight limit of 200lbs after bulking up TWO STONE to fight at heavyweight against Mike Tyson.

But he admitted to getting “too fat” at 227lb (16st 2lb) for his points win over Tyson – who controversially returned at aged 58.

“It was just too much and my body wasn’t made for it,” he said.

“And even when I got into the ring I just felt too fat. So cruiserweight is definitely the perfect weight for me.”

Paul was close to agreeing a blockbuster May 3 bout in Las Vegas against Canelo Alvarez, 34, until the Mexican walked away from the deal.

So Paul turned his attention to an exhibition bout against WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis – despite their FIVE STONE difference.

But Davis is now set to rematch Lamont Roach in August after their controversial New York draw in March.

Paul, 28, finally called upon ex-middleweight world champ Chavez Jr, 39, back down at his natural and more comfortable weight.

He said ahead of the June 28 DAZN PPV: “I wanted the hardest and the biggest fights, which was first Canelo then Gervonta fell through.

“And then at any given point in time we’re negotiating or talking with five to six fighters to see who’s down and ready to fight and making a date happen.

“And after Canelo and Gervonta, we were talking to multiple people and Chavez was the one to step up, that made sense for me to stay active and get a fight in June.

“So really it’s just the long line and I just need more time but I’m gonna get to all of these names when the stars aligned.”

IT will soon be even easier for Brits to hop down under as Australia gears up to launch its 24-hour airport.

West Sydney International is expected to rival London’s Heathrow with UK flights, and it’s just 30 miles west of the city.

Western Sydney Airport

WSI will be ready to handle 10 million passengers, with plans to expand to 82 million[/caption]

The £2.7billion build has been officially unveiled, with transport and architecture experts praising the design.

The airport will be able to handle 10million passengers, although said there is space to expand further in the future up to 82million.

This includes both domestic and international flights, which will operate 24 hours a day.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Catherine King were at the launch event.

The terminal’s design offers nods to the country’s iconic landmarks like the Blue Mountains, which have been recreated in a ceiling feature.

Sandstone sourced from a quarry on the Central Coast has also been incorporated into the build.

Noting the airport’s design, WSI CEO Simon Hickey said: “Visitors will be welcomed by the stories of Dharug country that will connect the world with more than 60,000 years of Aboriginal culture while also highlighting the vibrant communities of Western Sydney.”

“Global architecture leaders Zaha Hadid Architects, based in London, and one of our nation’s top firms COX Architecture were selected to develop the initial design concepts of WSI following a competition in 2019 that attracted more than 40 international and domestic proposals,” he added.

“Fast forward six years and WSI is on the precipice of launching a seamless and stress-free airport experience unlike any other in Australia, giving our global city a 24-hour international gateway that will continue to create significant economic opportunities for all of Greater Sydney.”

Domestic and international gates will all be under one roof, making connections straightforward and more efficient.

The terminal has more than 6,000 solar panels fixed to its roof, helping to reduce its carbon footprint.

It will also collect and recycle rainfall to be used in airport bathrooms, irrigation, and cooling towers.

Initial designs were created by the famous Zaha Hadid Architects in London, along with Cox Architecture in Australia, with construction using local-based Multiplex.

While the major construction is complete, flights won’t be available until late 2026.

The current Sydney Airport was founded in 1919, making it one of the world’s oldest.

Despite a number of renovations over the years, it is unable to expand much further due to its location.

WSI Airport partners Qantas are currently organising ‘Project Sunrise‘ services for the longest flight in the world.

The Qantas flight service, which will launch non-stop flights between London and Sydney, Australia, expect to be up and running by 2027.

The project was first due to be complete in 2024 but faced delays because of Covid.

Qantas has also revealed that the first route of Project Sunrise won’t be from London to Sydney.

Instead, the aircraft will be used for a three-hour flight from Sydney to Auckland in New Zealand.

Eventually, Qantas will be flying from London to Sydney on a non-stop flight that will take a huge 22 hours, spanning over 10,000 miles.

Currently, the longest flight in the world is from Singapore to New York (Newark), which takes just over 18 hours and spans 9,537 miles.

But once Qantas launches the route, it will be significantly longer.

Recently, Qantas revealed the design of its cabins, and they’re even designed to avoid jet lag.

The way they do this is through lighting, which Qantas says will “promote circadian adaption, sleep, and wake,” at different times of the flight.

The aircraft will even have its own dedicated wellbeing zone – which is a first for the airline.

THOMAS Frank has replaced Ange Postecoglu as head coach at Spurs, despite the Australian winning the club’s first silverware since 2008.

But he has now taken over from Big Ange at Tottenham[/caption]

Here we get to know the Danish tactician’s wife Nanna, who stepped up to support her husband financially during his early career and pushed him to take the Brentford job in the first place.

Who is Thomas Frank?

Thomas Frank took Brentford from the Championship and turned them into a Premier League fixture with a shoestring budget.

For context, Erling Halaand was paid around a quarter of the Bees’ entire combined salary during the 2024/25 season.

The Dane’s style of management has been admired by clubs including Manchester United, who reportedly considered him as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag in 2024.

But it has been confirmed that next season his new home will be North London.

In his early thirties, the former Brentford boss came close to quitting football altogether.

He had even spoken to his wife, Nanna Thiel Frank, about giving up on his dream of coaching and becoming a teacher instead.

Who is Nanna Thiel Frank?

Nanna is the wife of new Tottenham manager Frank.

The couple originally lived in Hvidovre, a suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark.

But they relocated to London in late 2016 when Frank joined Brentford — first as an assistant to Dean Smith, before taking over as head coach.

Career

Nanna Thiel Frank has a background in social work.

During the early years of Frank’s coaching career — when he was earning a modest salary of roughly £5,000 a year while studying and coaching up to 40 hours a week — Nanna played a crucial role in carrying the family financially.

Her career as a social worker allowed Frank to pursue his dreams in football, even during times of financial uncertainty.

How many kids do Nanna and Thomas Frank have?

Nanna and Frank have three children together — two daughters, Freja and Alba, and a son named Bertram — but further details have not been reported.

Back in 2018, Frank told Coaches Voices: “When I told my wife, Nanna, that I was unsure about Brentford, I could hear the disappointment in her voice.

“It was the chance to move to London. But, more importantly, it was an assistant manager’s job.

“She liked the idea of me not having the pressure of being a manager or head coach…

“…Nanna… thought it was perfect. The decision was 50 per cent me and my career, and 50 per cent Nanna and the children. We decided to go for it.”

CHRIS Hughes and JoJo Siwa have had top secret meetings with ITV bosses about getting their own reality show spin off after viewers fell in love with them on Celebrity Big Brother.

The unlikely pair, who stunned fans after striking up a surprise romance following their stint on CBB, are now considering their very own fly-on-the-wall series.

The singer said she is ‘shocked’ at how close the pair have become[/caption]

And telly bosses are convinced the show could go global.

A source spilled to The Sun: “It’s still in the early stages but ITV really think they’d be amazing TV with their own show.

“Fans around the world are obsessed with their relationship and there are so many TikTok accounts devoted to their love story.”

The source continued: “Chris and JoJo are keen too, and while there is no deal signed yet, the talks have been really promising.

“ITV are eyeing up the show to air on ITV2, hopefully later this year once everything is signed on the dotted line.”

Chris, 32, first shot to fame on Love Island in 2017, where he won over the nation – and then-girlfriend Olivia Attwood – with his cheeky charm and blokey banter.

The pair even landed their own ITVBe spin-off, Chris & Olivia: Crackin’ On, before their fiery romance fizzled out.

Since going public with JoJo, 22, the couple have become social media sensations, with fans gushing over their whirlwind love story.

Expect fireworks, TikTok dances, and plenty of Essex-meets-Hollywood chaos if the deal goes ahead.

It was also show how the pair navigate a long-distance relationship.

JoJo was in floods of tears yesterday after leaving the UK following three weeks with Chris.

The US pop star returned to London in May to perform a gig and enjoyed an extended stay with Chris, who she first met in March.

A JoJo fan page shared a meme of a young girl crying in London on Instagram which the pop star reposted and added: “Honestly it was worse than this more tears hahaha.”

It was reminiscent of the first days of their romance when Chris jetted home from the States after a week-long stay, leaving JoJo in tears.

They’re confident they can weather long distance though. JoJo insisted she’ll never break up with Chris calling their relationship “earthquake proof”.

She told Capital Breakfast: “You know what’s interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. 

“And this house is earthquake proof, and it’s fireproof, and bulletproof.

“And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it’s like… You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him.”

Jordan then quizzed JoJo on whether she had found her ‘happy place’ with Chris.

The US star gushed: “Oh my god, absolutely! We’re having the best time. He’s just the best!

“I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I’m decently nice; he makes me look like I’m mean! 

“And I’m like known for being nice, that’s the thing. People say to me, ‘Oh, you’re so nice’.

“He makes me we want to be nicer, because he’s such a nice human. He’s the best egg in the batch! I could never get tired of speaking highly of him, he’s just the best.”

The pair spent time with Chris’s parents in the Cotswolds during her stay, enjoying time riding horses.

They couldn’t keep their hands off each other at times with Chris pictured kissing JoJo on the neck. 

JoJo admitted she’s “shocked” at how close they have become in such a short period of time.

Speaking to Billboard, she said: “It blows my mind that 30 days ago I would never have even imagined that I would be friends with Chris Hughes, that’s the weirdest thing, much less be one of the closest people too me now in my life who I would die for.

“I think its a combination of the shared experience but also in Big Brother, you have no phone, no outside communication, no distraction, nothing.

“You only have each other. I love connecting and I love people and when someone comes into your life and you enjoy it, you can tell.”

A CLEVER upgrade to cars across the world will let you watch video on your motor’s built-in screen.

It’s all thanks to a new update to Apple CarPlay, which is in millions of cars globally – and unsurprisingly, there’s a big catch.

Apple

Apple CarPlay is getting a major update this year[/caption]

Apple

CarPlay will be upgraded as part of the iOS 26 update for iPhones – which we’re expecting in September[/caption]

The feature will only work if you’re parked.

That’s to prevent drivers from catching up on Love Island on the M25 – a dangerous combination.

With CarPlay, your iPhone takes over your car’s screen, giving you access to your apps, music, contacts and more.

And with the iOS 26 update for iPhone later this year, you’ll be able to beam video from your mobile to your car’s display.

This works through the same AirPlay feature that lets you stream iPhone video to your telly.

So you could play a video that was saved to your Photos app.

Or you could use one of the many TV apps that support AirPlay to easily stream content to your Apple CarPlay monitor in your car.

That includes Apple TV+ and YouTube – or any other app that offers CarPlay.

“AirPlay video in the car enables people to watch their favourite videos from iPhone right on their CarPlay display when they aren’t driving,” Apple explains.

The other catch is that your carmaker will need to switch the feature on.

CarPlay is managed by Apple, but your car provider still needs to activate the new ability to watch TV.

And it won’t go live until at least September, when we’re expecting iOS 26 to roll out to millions of iPhone models as a free update.

But plenty of cars support CarPlay.

CarPlay launched back in 2014, and more than 800 models of motor across 40 brands now support it.

Apple

CarPlay gets a brand new Liquid Glass look[/caption]

Apple

You’ll be able to quickly respond to messages with Tapbacks[/caption]

Apple recently revealed that it’s used more than 600 million times a day.

So there’s a good chance that the new feature will come to your car in the near future.

DRIVE ON

That wasn’t the only car upgrade from Apple.

This week, the company held its WWDC 2025 event in California, revealing all of its major software updates for the year ahead.

For a start, Apple CarPlay is getting the new Liquid Glass look that other Apple gadgets are getting later this year.

That gives the apps a glassy new aesthetic with a translucent design.

And you’ll be able to send Tapbacks to texts – they’re the quick emoji reactions that are already available in the Messages app on iPhone.

There’s support for widgets on screen, as well as Live Activities (which could show sports scores, for instance).

Apple

The new CarPlay will also let you watch telly while parked[/caption]

And Apple has also finally debuted CarPlay Ultra, which is the supercharged version of CarPlay only currently available with one car brand.

Instead of just replacing your infotainment screen, CarPlay Ultra also serves as a customisable instrument panel (showing your speed and fuel and so on), as well as allowing you to control car functions like heating.

During a sit-down interview with The Sun, Apple’s Greg ‘Joz” Joswiak said: “We’re also bringing out that next generation of CarPlay, which we just brought out for the first time about a month ago.”

Joz continued: “CarPlay is this beautiful ability to use the features of your phone.

Apple

“We wanted to have an experience with CarPlay Ultra that allows you – through that same interface that you can control your phone – to also control the aspects of your car

“Whether it’s the seat heaters or the heating system in general, or even the car radio.

“Things that are outside of normal iPhone capabilities. To control these with CarPlay Ultra.

“We’re very happy with the initial rollout of that. Some of the first vehicles started coming out last month. There’s plenty more brands working on it.”

CarPlay Ultra is currently available in new models from British motoring giant Aston Martin, but it’s expected to arrive in other vehicles in the future too.

Blackledge died by suicide, according to documents seen by People.

He had a gunshot wound to his head and investigators revealed they found a note.

A teddy bear and picture were found at the scene of his death.

He was found by a relative at his home in Newport, North Carolina.

The influencer had more than 1.1 million followers on the platform and he produced lip-syncing content and clips with his girlfriend, Emmie Gillikin.

Gillikin marked what would’ve been the couple’s 11-month anniversary in a touching TikTok post earlier this month.

“I wish you were here to be celebrating with me but I know you are up in heaven,” the caption of the video said.

“I miss you more than anything, each day gets harder and harder but knowing one day I’ll be up there with you makes things easier.

“Continue keeping me safe Josh. I see you every single evening.

“I love you Josh don’t ever forget that, can’t wait to see you up there waiting for me.”

Gillikin shared a picture of Blackledge sitting in what appears to be a buggy in a car park.

She selected Hudson Westbrook’s track, House Again, for the background music.

Blackledge’s TikTok handle remains in his ex-girlfriend’s bio.

Blackledge died on March 18, according to his obit.

Days before his death, he shared what turned out to be his final TikTok clip.

The student, who was in his junior year at high school, had a passion for cars and trucks, according to his obit.

It also revealed he was an avid passion for the outdoors.

He enjoyed fishing and boating with his pals.

Family members also paid tribute to his personality.

“He had an energetic spirit and was known for his entertaining nature, often impressing others with backflips,” they said.

“Joshua will be remembered by those who knew him for his enthusiasm and love for life.”

AMERICAN Idol winner Jamal Roberts has broken his silence on judge Carrie Underwood’s finale reaction.

Fans thought that county music icon Carrie, 42, looked “unhappy” when Jamal was crowned winner of the most recent series.

Fans said Carrie looked unimpressed when Jamal won the season[/caption]

Hitting back, Jamal has now spoken out about Carrie’s reaction to his triumphant win.

Speaking on the red carpet of a BET 45th anniversary dinner, Jamal opened up candidly.

Journalist Nate Vinson asked the Idol winner about the “very strong narrative online” around Carrie’s first season as a judge.

Nate said: “People watch the show that felt like she really wasn’t supportive of you like other judges or other people.”

Jamal, who is 27 years of age, then hit back: “Carrie is a country singer and she likes country music.

“I mean, I don’t think she likes every genre for real.

“She had her picks, and she had her [choice] of who she really liked, and she stuck with it.”

‘I FEEL LIKE THE BETTER PERSON WON’

He added: “We applaud her for sticking to her roots and sticking to who she liked, but I feel like the better person won.”

On Facebook, fans reacted to Jamal speaking out, with one person writing: “Glad Jamal Roberts is speaking up. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, especially on such a big platform.”

Another added: “She was acting as if she hired him to entertain her. She told him to move around more while not telling the other contestants the same thing & they stood like a stick in the mud whenever they performed.”

While a third slammed: “This is a false Controversy!! I watched the whole season and Carrie was gracious with everyone and also gave constructive criticism to everyone. Which guess what? That was her job. And she did it amazingly.”

After Jamal was announced by Ryan Seacrest as the winner, Carrie, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie all stood up and applauded him.

But some fans noticed something odd about Carrie’s body language and how she failed to stand up when Jamal crooned his song a final time after winning.

CARRIE’S COLD REACTION

Reacting to Carrie not standing up when Jamal won, one fan speculated that she might have been asked by show bosses to stand.

“Not Carrie Underwood sitting down and probably being told to stand up when Jamal won,” said one person on X.

Another added: “Carrie underwood is not happy that Jamal won America Idol.”

“Carrie hating until the very end I see. CONGRATULATIONS JAMAL,” penned a third.

Carrie took to social media soon after Jamal had won the show to congratulate him and wish him well.

“Congratulations to the newest winner of @AmericanIdol !!! I’m so proud of Jamal Roberts and all he has accomplished this season and I can’t wait to see what mountains he climbs next!

“He’s going to do great things,” she penned on X.

AMERICAN IDOL FUTURE UNCLEAR

Carrie, who won the show back in 2005, is said to have the ball in her court in regards to a possible return to the singing show as a judge for a second time next season.

“After all the bumps this season, and the beginning was bumpy, the people that matter in the decision making, the powers that be, really love Carrie,” a source exclusively told The U.S. Sun.

“They feel a certain protectiveness toward her.

“They’ve defended any setbacks and criticism she’s endured this season and would gladly have her back. 

“The ball is more in Carrie’s court.

“She’s on the fence about coming back, there were times this season I think she would’ve absolutely said ‘no’ to returning. 

“But as she’s found her place within the role it’s grown on her more but it wouldn’t surprise anyone on set if she doesn’t return.”

PRINCE William’s polo friend has died after reportedly swallowing a bee during a match – triggering a fatal heart attack, it is claimed.

Indian-born billionaire Sunjay Kapur, 53, collapsed during the match at Guards Polo Club in Windsor yesterday – hours after he’d paid tribute online to the victims of the Air India tragedy.

Sources told Indian media the bee stung Kapur in his mouth before he suffered anaphylactic shock that caused his heart to stop.

He is understood to have requested the match be halted and then fell to the ground.

Medical experts say internal stings can prove deadly, particularly if a person has an undiagnosed allergy.

Kapur’s exact cause of death is still being investigated.

Prince William

A well-known figure on the polo circuit in the UK and India, the late industrialist rubbed shoulders with the royals, including the Prince of Wales.

Kapur was the chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comstar.

In a statement, the company said: “We are deeply saddened by the sudden demise of our Chairman, Mr Sunjay Kapur.

“He was a visionary leader whose passion, insight and dedication shaped the identity and success of our company.”

He was previously married to Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor, who had previously recalled him playing polo with William.

The former couple had two children together – daughter Samaira and son Kiaan.

Educated at The Doon School, India’s answer to Eton, Kapur later studied business at the University of Buckingham, before completing a prestigious executive programme at Harvard Business School.

Under his leadership, Sona Comstar became a key supplier to the booming electric vehicle sector with operations spanning India, the US, Serbia, Mexico and China.

After his separation from Karisma, Kapur married Priya Sachdev, a former model and fashion entrepreneur.

In his tribute following the air disaster, Kapur wrote on X: “Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad.

“My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected. May they find strength in this difficult hour.”
