    Shah Rukh Khan is not someone who needs a hundred stories being churned out only to call him a messiah. SRK has always kept himself connected to his roots while helping people in need and always done so silently without any PR machinery promoting such incidents. From helping the victims of the Chennai floods to sending PPE kits to the hospital staff in times of pandemic, he has never shied away from helping people. This is why the superstar is revered so much.

    Director Hansal Mehta has reaffirmed Shah Rukh's knack for doing charity silently. He recently posted a long note elaborating why he loves SRK and respects him as a superstar. He also narrated an incident wherein the Khan reached out to him for helping a child. 
    Hansal Mehta wrote, “Why @iamsrk is a superstar forever and why I love him. I've interacted with SRK thrice- once on Twitter and on another occasion briefly at a party. The third time is why for me he will always be a true star. I was seeking help for a child who was suffering from a tumour and needed urgent financial support for life-saving surgery.”

    He recalled that he had tweeted about it at midnight and then slept as he had to go for an early morning shoot in Haryana. “I was on a shoot and I had 3 missed calls from a number I did not recognize. I had a very polite area from the number asking me to call back. The message was from SRK. I called his not knowing why he wanted to speak to me. It was about the child. He said whatever they need will be taken care of. In less than a few hours the hospital was contacted funds were transferred. Somebody got a new life. Quietly, gently, without fuss, a life was saved. This happened once again a few months later. Another life was saved. Quietly and without any fuss or publicity.” 
    He also added, “A man idolized by millions and with whom I have almost zero personal or professional connect has a permanent place in my little heart because of his big heart and his humanity. A star is loved for his films, his persona, his charisma but for me, a superstar is somebody who possesses that rare compassion and unlikely humility when helping somebody in need. When I thanked him all he said was something like I have a lot and this is the least I can do. Shahrukh Khan, you are my star. Forever. Happy birthday, SRK.” 
    Hansal was one of the very first people in the industry who came out in support of SRK when Aryan Khan was arrested in connection with the possession of drugs after a cruise raid. He had written, “It is painful for a parent having to deal with a child getting into trouble. It gets compounded when people begin to arrive at judgements before the law takes its course. It is disrespectful and unfair to the parent and to the parent-child relationship. With you @iamsrk.”

    It's truly heartwarming to read about such incidents and to see that SRK has a true supporter in Hansal Mehta.

    As the Indian cricket team stands on its last leg with very little to no hopes of making it to the next round of the T20 World Cup 2021, Pakistani legend Shoaib Akhtar has added fuel to the fire about the possibility of a division within the Men in Blue with regards to Virat Kohli and his leadership.
    Akhtar’s remarks came after India lost their second consecutive match of the ongoing tournament, this time to Kane Williamson’s New Zealand squad. Here’s what the Pakistani legend said about what he saw in the Indian camp while talking about it on his YouTube channel:

    “Why I can see that there are two camps within the team? One is with the Kohli and one against Kohli. It's crystal clear. The team is looking divided. I don't know why this is happening. Maybe it's because of his last T20 World Cup as a skipper. Maybe he made wrong decisions, which is true. But he's a great cricketer, and we have to respect him,” Akhtar said.
    "Yes, criticism is important because they played bad cricket against New Zealand and had the wrong attitude. Yesterday, after they lost the toss, everyone's heads were down. They had no idea whatsoever. India, you only lost the toss by that time, not the whole match. They were just present there, and had no gameplan whatsoever." Akhtar added.

    The ‘Rawalpindi Express’ went on to request everyone to continue to show respect for Kohli as a cricketer, even if the man made some bad decisions as a captain in the first two matches of their 2021 World Cup campaign.
    It has been a horrific month for Virat Kohli, who ended his stint as the captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise in the Indian Premier League on a disappointing note, followed by becoming the only Indian captain to lose to Pakistan in a World Cup match, and is now on the verge of losing his ODI captaincy as well if the Men in Blue failed to make it to the semi-finals of the ongoing tournament, which is highly unlikely.
    India are set to compete against Afghanistan at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.

    What are the ingredients for a quintessential Diwali break? We’d say extravagant get-togethers, game nights, delectable festive spreads and mithai or some shopping, perhaps. 
    But after the last two-ish years spent indoors, does ‘quintessential’ even make the cut? Not at all! We all could use an extra serving of oomph and grandeur. 
    Diwali 2021 is falling on a 4-day-weekend, which translates to “festive getaway”. We did some legwork and stumbled upon Expo 2020 Dubai, and boy, does it look good!
    Here are some reasons why experiencing the Expo 2020 Dubai is a wonderful way to celebrate Diwali this year:
    1) The Enormous & Impressive ‘India Pavilion’Expo 2020 Dubai has designated country pavilions - a first in the history of world Expos.
    We’re particularly pumped up to explore the 4-floored India Pavilion which promises to enchant everyone with a brilliant mix of Ayurveda, yoga, space programs, and lots more. 
    Dubai Tourism
    There is also a 360-degree digital recreation of India’s past, present and it’s future. Sounds mighty impressive, right?

    India Pavilion also presents some brag-worthy retail therapy - there’ll be several outlets offering authentic handicrafts, artefacts, souvenirs, accessories, fashion, home décor, snacks, street food, and more. 
    2) Bluewaters Street Festival  Located across Dubai Marina, the Bluewaters island is celebrating the festive season with a “Bluewaters Street Festival”. For starters, this street festival celebrates the opening of Ain Dubai and Madame Tussauds Dubai. How exciting is that! 
    Dubai Tourism
    Additionally, one can experience music concerts by popular singers – right from Leone Murphy to Chad Sycamore. But you know what we’re most excited about? It’s the Diwali Celebration at the Bluewaters Street Festival! 

    While there’ll be dedicated live Diwali performances from 4th to 6th number at the street festival, you must look out for the stunning fireworks display on 4 November, starting at 8.30pm.
    3)  Witness The Al Wasl Plaza DomeThe Al Wasl Plaza dome is the world’s largest 360-degree projection screen to feature a one-of-a-kind spectacle celebrating Diwali accompanied by special performances. 
    If you’re unable to picture the enormity of this, here’s some trivia - 800 specialists and 13.6 km of steel were used to make the dome’s trellis. Moreover, two hundred and fifty-two projectors work in unison to reflect images on the dome screen. 
    While the Expo 2020 Dubai started on 1st October’21 and will go on till 31st March 2022, there are several other destinations you must explore in Dubai during your Diwali break! ‘Global Village’ being our no. 1 suggestion. 
    Dubai Tourism
    Out here, you can witness breathtaking dance shows (The Scatty Chapati, The Absolute Bollywood Show, etc), treat your palate to the Indian chaat bazaar, slurp on the tandoori karak chai, and watch the renowned Global Village fireworks as they light up the sky of the park every Thursday and Friday of the season. The Global Village will be open to visitors from 26th October’21 to 10th April’22. 

    Lastly, we’d highly recommend ending a surreal Diwali getaway with some retail therapy. We’re hinting at mind-blowing Diwali discounts on jewellery - up to 75% off on diamonds, up to 50% discount on making charge on select gold jewellery collection and/or zero making charge on select gold jewellery collection. 
    So, if you’re planning to buy some bling for the woman in your life, there’s no better time than now! 
    Dubai has left no stone unturned in keeping the festive fervour sky-high, right?
    With Diwali just around the corner, we’re seriously considering spending the festival the Emirati way, what about you?

    It is Diwali season once again and fans are already bracing themselves for a few of the Indian cricketers to hop on Twitter and Instagram and ask their followers to not burst firecrackers.
    The message would be sweet and short and if the fans are lucky, they will even get to see the cricketers’ family members also smiling in the video while asking people to “save the environment” from air and noise pollution.

    Don’t get me wrong, thinking about the sustainability of the environment has to be one of the biggest issues that we, as a species must talk about and pay attention to and celebrities with a large fan following can act as huge influencers in changing the perception of masses. The problem occurs when the celebrities who ask us to refrain from bursting crackers can be seen doing the same.
    Take the leader of our bowling attack, Jasprit Bumrah, for instance. Back in 2017, the pacer had written a tweet with a picture of his family in which he added a hashtag that said “#saynotocrackers”. 
    Diwali celebration at home! Wishing everyone a very Happy and a prosperous Diwali!#saynotocrackers pic.twitter.com/koCbYkLJ4I
    — Jasprit Bumrah (@Jaspritbumrah93) October 19, 2017
    However, when the yorker-specialist got married a few years later, he proudly shared the pictures of his wedding as his wife and he walked down an aisle surrounded by people with sparklers in their hands and a cloud of smoke in the background.

    Even our skipper Virat Kohli, who ensures to share a video almost every single year about how it is a horrible thing to burst crackers on the festival, was found rather amused when he was shown the video of people celebrating his birthday with firecrackers in Dubai.

    Back in October, Kohli had also declared that he will be sharing his tips on how to celebrate Diwali but only in collaboration with Pinterest. However, upon being brutally trolled by critics about this move, the cricketer decided to act against it and removed the links to his Pinterest account from all the other social media platforms.
    Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing a series of my personal tips for celebrating a meaningful Diwali with loved ones and family. Stay tuned by following my Pinterest profile 'viratkohli' - link in bio @Pinterest#diwali2021 #AD pic.twitter.com/KKFxyK3UTG

    Still, this isn’t the biggest hypocritical stance the Indian cricketers have taken against bursting crackers. Every single year, the biggest names of the game from all over the country and the world become a part of the month and a half-long festival known as the Indian Premier League.
    From Anaars or “fountain” crackers being used to celebrate boundaries to bright rockets being used to on the occasion of the IPL finals, Indian cricketers find themselves around air pollution every single year and still not even a single cricketer has protested it.

    Practising what one preaches has to be one of the biggest prerequisites before asking someone else to do so. Yes, air pollution is a big concern, especially for India and with the kind of following that cricketers enjoy in our country, they have a social responsibility towards guiding the people in the right direction. However, not just on one single day every year, but constantly. And if it feels like too much of a task, they shouldn’t do it at all.
