    Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s son Aryan Khan has been detained by NCB in regards to the connection with possession of drugs at a cruise party. It has been highlighted that the star kid wasn’t carrying any drugs but his custody was still extended and he was denied bail. The gossip columns have been continuously blogging about Aryan’s arrest. Aryan and seven others arrested in the case have been sent to 14-days of judicial custody.

    Taapsee Pannu, who has always been vocal about many issues in the country, hasn’t shied away from sharing her opinions on this case too. She feels there are both perks and disadvantages of being a public personality. She spoke this level of stardom does come with harsh scrutiny. 
    In an interview with Times Of India, she said, “That’s a part and parcel of being a public figure. And, that’s a baggage every public figure’s family also carries, whether they like it or not. You have the positives of enjoying a star status and this is the kind of negative that also comes with it. If it’s a family of a big star, you also enjoy the perks of that, right? So, there’s a negative side also that you end up facing.”

    She went on to add, “I think with that kind of stardom level, you’re aware of the scrutiny that’s going to happen. It’s not like ki kahan se aagaya pata nahi chala (I don't know where they came from). I’m sure they know the kind of repercussions of things that are going to happen. As far as they are ready to go through the legal process, which is the law of the land, you have to go through it.” 
    Aryan was sent to the Arthur Road prison in Mumbai on Friday after a local court refused him bail in a drug seizure case. Five other men arrested in the case were also sent to the same jail and the two women accused, including Munmun Dhamecha, were taken to Byculla women's prison.

    People have been defending Aryan on docile media platforms as they think it’s nothing but the witch-hunting technique of NCB. 
    Over the past week, SRK and Gauri have found support from their industry colleagues like Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Pooja Bhatt, and Hrithik Roshan.

    As Mumbai Indians won their match against SunRisers Hyderabad with a massive 42-run margin, their IPL 2021 campaign came to an early end after they failed to make it to the playoffs only for the fifth time in 14 seasons.
    However, if there was a silver lining for the five-time IPL champions, it was the confirmation of wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan’s return to form and faith in himself to be the run-getter that the fans have gotten used to over the past couple of years.
    View this post on Instagram
    Once again opening the batting order for Rohit Sharma’s squad on Friday, Kishan scored 11 4s and four 6s on his way to an 84-run innings in just 32 deliveries. With the lack of nervousness and no chip on his shoulders, Kishan looked a lot more comfortable at the top-order spot and swinging for the fences like there was no tomorrow.
    With a second consecutively solid performance coming off of Kishan’s bat on the pitches of the United Arab Emirates, this is a good sign for the young southpaw and his chances of showing up in the Playing XI for the Men in Blue in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2021 at the same venue.

    After receiving his ‘Player of the Match’ prize on Friday, Kishan gave some insight into Team India’s dressing room talks and the kind of conversations he has been having with skipper Virat Kohli and some of the other senior members of the side.
    “I had a good chat with Virat bhai, Jasprit bhai also helped me. Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya also supported me. Everyone supported me and said this is a learning stage for me and make sure that I should learn from my mistakes here and not repeat it during the T20 World Cup,” said Ishan after the match against SunRisers Hyderabad.

    “Virat bhai told me ‘You are selected as an opener, you just have to be prepared for that. But at the bigger level, you need to be prepared for everything,” he added.
    However, the cricketer’s fans warned the young lad about not depending too much on what Kohli has promised him with regards to his World Cup chances as an opening batter:
    If he's picked as an opener, he'll on the bench the entire tournament.
    — Saurav || सौरभ (@farzi_expert) October 8, 2021Backup opener.
    — Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) October 8, 2021He doesn't told like that, you will be opener because having kl and rohit, don't you see kl knock yesterday, he can do both class and everything in it, we need to sit Rohit but India doesn't do that, may be virat also because of his low sr but not able to do he's the Captain
    — shelby (@vasanth02299143) October 9, 2021*must be backup opener
    — (@JeelPat48520624) October 8, 2021But I thought he is backup of pantbecause we seriously need backup of pant,he is not in a good form. I hope virat just said this to only motivate him.
    — taniya (@Tsr200308) October 8, 2021Virat bhai khud kab aisi batting krenge

    Being Neeraj Chopra is a very tricky thing in the Indian digital scenario at the moment. While there are millions of people who are literally in love with him, it has also left his life open to a ton of unwanted criticism and opinions about the way he should live it.
    While the Olympic gold medallist’s image as the great, humble guy who only focuses on throwing javelins and working to get better at his skill, has definitely made his fan base a lot larger, it has also made the fans’ eyebrows rise every single time he does a television commercial or practically anything else that isn’t around his sport.
    Desh ke liye javelin khelna ho ya life mein apno ko surakshit rakhna ho, meri taiyaari puri hai. Kya aap bhi ho #HarWaqtKeLiyeTaiyaar?

    So when the 23-year old shared the video of his second commercial advertisement with a big brand, this time in the insurance sector, fans dropped their baggage of unsolicited advice on the athlete’s shoulders about how he should “stay away” from such vices.
    I think you have to stay away from this advertisement and film industries etc. If you involved in all these things then you can't concentrate on your game.
    — sonal shinde (@sonal24121998) October 8, 2021You have only focus on your game pls don't do this type of advertisement aur films think all this disturb your game .....
    — Kavitasunny (@Kavitasunny2) October 9, 2021बेटा... तू ना ad ही करियो..
    प्रैक्टिस के नाम पर तुझे गशे पड़ जाती है
    अगली बारी वो porki गोल्ड ले जायेगा।
    — Tarot Jeevi (@tarot_xpert) October 8, 2021भाई कहां चक्कर में पड़ गया तू इन ऐड्स और बॉलीवुड के।
    — dhiraj sharma (@dheeeeeru) October 8, 2021Not too long ago, Chopra’s acting skills received a lot of attention in a commercial that he had shot with CRED. While it involved a lot more “acting work” than the one shown in the insurance advertisement, people tend to like it simply because of the humor aspect and because they got to see the typically shy and grounded Chopra be outside of his natural characteristics and be more loud and flashy.
    Although, social media critics were still so disappointed that they bombarded his Twitter handle with tons of cautionary messages about the bad impact of Bollywood, and the numerous reasons why he should never get too serious about acting and doing TV ads.
    Haha Neeraj bhai you are good. But please do not get too serious about this acting and all. You are an athlete first. An Olympic Champ. We fans want to see you achieve more titles. We want to see you cross the 90 m mark in Javelin. Baaki to aap samajhdar ho.
    — Pandunanda (@pandujee4) September 19, 2021Bhaishaab ne bolya tha ki..ek athelete ko star vali feeling ni aani chahiye sports m star feeling aana thik ni h....lagta h bhaishaab ko star vali feeling aa gyi...
    — Ritu Atrish (@TheRituAtrish) September 19, 2021Neeraj I think you should focus on javelin practice than the advertisement because these brands won't be permanent
    — Sakt Launda (@SridharRamesh3) September 19, 2021Regardless of whatever people say, one of the ways in which a well-earned Olympic gold medal adds value to the athlete’s life, especially in India, is to boost their popularity sky-high. It is only fair for the athlete to capitalize on it and get some commercials. 
    And the fun part is, most of these “keyboard warriors” will not even think twice before agreeing to do the commercials after watching the number of zeroes at the end of the cheque they would receive for just a couple of hours of their day to shoot it.

    Unless you’ve managed to pull off a Jared Leto and find yourself waking up to an unfamiliar world, you must have heard that it’s Squid Game season around town. 
    Needless to say, this is going to be a spoiler-filled zone. So continue at your own peril!
    The premise of Squid Game is simple. 456 individuals who’ve signed up their bodies to debt recovery agents are forced to battle it out through 6 sinister gauntlets based on popular Korean childhood games. The prize money of 45.6 billion Won serves as the reward for their depraved bloodlust. 
    © Netflix
    The multi-genre Korean thriller, written by Hwang Dong-hyuk, was released on September 17 and has swiftly become Netflix’s most-watched series globally. 

    It’s easy to get lost in the hype and label it as just another dystopian work of fiction that global audiences seem to have latched onto, in the vein of Black Mirror and Hunger Games, however, the comparisons would be unjust.
    © Netflix
    The true success of Squid Game is in writer Hwang Dong-hyuk’s clinical diagnosis of the human condition; a critique of capitalistic societies in general. His characters are burdened by the increasingly money-minded nature of the world which has created a burgeoning chasm between the haves and the have-nots. They’re all humans left behind to contend with the grotesque underbellies of a society fixated on economic surplus as the only beacon of progress.

    © Netflix
    Whether it be Kang Sae-byok, a North Korean immigrant who needed money to reunite with her displaced family, or Cho Sang-woo, a man guilty of embezzling funds and on the run from various collectors, their debts remain the perennial albatross around their neck.

    It’s a sentiment eerily familiar to the world we currently live in as well, and intentionally so.  In fact, the writer has explained that the show is meant to reflect the cutthroat world we live in. Dong-hyuk says, “This is a story about losers, those who struggle through the challenges of everyday life and get left behind, while the "winners level up."

    Episode 1 ‘Red Light, Green Light’ opens with a ne’er-do-well Seong Gi-hun, shamelessly sponging off his elderly mother. It’s established that Gi-hun wasn’t always like this. Now divorced, he works as a despondent chauffeur, trying to salvage his relationship with his daughter, Ga-yeong. The aged matriarch is seen fending for all his needs despite her deteriorating health condition, while the seemingly irresponsible son whiles away time betting on horses. 

    © Netflix
    For those who are privileged, bad days can seem like an aberration from the norm. Inconvenient at best. But for people like Seong Gi-hun, life can seem like a relentless onslaught of miseries, piling on one after the other. 

    © Netflix
    Seong Gi-hun’s gambling addiction isn’t the cause for his pitiful situation, rather he gambles in an attempt to get back into this race we call life. His gambling is the symptom of an underlying disease; the societal pressures that someone like him must contend with just to live. 

    © Netflix
    His attempts at playing catchup with the rest of the world catch up with him eventually. Desperate and drowning in debts, Gi-hun is left with no choice but to sign off his vital organs to money lenders.   

    © Netflix
    Soon after, he finds himself enrolled in the Squid Game after several humiliating rounds of ddkaji.

    Throughout the games, Seong Gi-hun serves as the heart of the series. It is during their confinement on the island that we see his character really blossom. He goes from being a capricious gambler to becoming a sincere friend to many of his inmates. 
    © Netflix
    At many points during the show, Gi-hun is shown to fawn over childhood friend Cho Sang-woo, due to the latter’s college-level education, but it is our bumbling protagonist who licks his sugar honeycomb to safety in Episode 3 ‘The Man With The Umbrella’. 

    In episode 5 ‘A Fair World’, we find out that Gi-hun used to work at a car manufacturing company before he was laid off due to corrupt executives. This incident happened right around his daughter’s due date. He and his colleagues went on a strike to protest the injustice, barricading themselves in the factory. However, a co-worker lost his life in front of him when the authorities tried to break the strike. Traumatized by the incident, Seong Gi-hun never fully recovered from it, potentially leading to his failed businesses, insurmountable debts, and eventual divorce.
    © Netflix
    In Episode 6 ‘Gganbu’, we witness Seong Gi-hun’s desperation to survive. Perhaps it’s unfair to judge him for trying to take advantage of Il-nam’s rapidly progressing dementia in order to proceed to the next round (considering the grand reveal at the end of the series), but it was a stern reminder that ethics and morality are the first to go out of the window when an individual’s life is at stake.

    © Netflix
    Here onwards, we see the slow and suffocating demise of Seong Gi-hun’s conscience. 

    The Squid Game mirrors a society designed to keep its poor within the rigid confines of the rich. The illusion of free will is part and parcel of the experience. They dictate rules to a game that the impoverished never signed up for. It’s meant to keep them trapped in the mousetrap of daily miseries. A game they can never win, but one they can’t escape either.
    © Netflix
    By the time Seong Gi-hun won the final round, he had been utterly broken by the game. He may have won the prize money, but at what cost? He goes back to a broken home to find his deceased mother on the floor. All the money in the world couldn’t save her. The once smiling character had transformed into a despondent and mentally fractured version of himself.

    © Netflix
    Goes to show that there’s no winning the Squid Game.
