    Starting his career as a stand-up comedian in Assam’s legendary Bhaya Mama group, Adil Hussain rose to fame after he learnt theatre from the National School Of Drama. He has left his footprints in both Bollywood as well as regional cinema, and quite well known among foreign actors too. Adil was recently seen in Voot Select's Love In The Times Of Corona that had three parts.
    Adil’s Tea and A Rose is about two middle-aged individuals who have lost their respective partners and it was their unexpected meeting with each other that changed their lives as they found solace in each other.

    The message in the movie was loud and clear that age doesn’t matter when you are in love. In India, we feel that we still have a hitch as we can’t imagine our parents falling in love after a certain age. On this, Adil told, “Well, I feel that heart is the youngest of the biological cells. I am not talking about the physical heart but the heart that falls in love. It’s not the heart that pumps blood. It’s like Dil toh bachcha hai! I think if children find it embarrassing, it’s the cultural conditioning that we have. It’s understandable but at the same time, children should be okay with it because if they are right to fall in love, why can’t their parents if they have separated or have lost their partners. It would be a crime if we stop them from falling in love once again. Isn’t it a beautiful thing to have company at an older age?” 
    When asked about the relevance of short movies, “I am extremely proud of VOOT for doing this and it takes a lot of courage to show short movies as it’s not in fashion. I want VOOT to keep continuing this as there are many young filmmakers who want to talk about things are unique and issue that matter and engaging at the same time. I hope people watch these short movies and be vocal about it.”

    Adil has done a good job in displaying his emotions through his character in Tea And A Rose.

    After reading up extensively about red flags to avoid in a partner, we all have become a pro at detecting a person who’s wrong for us. 
    Of course, it’s a whole another thing that we completely overlook these warning signs and still date them, only to end up with a broken heart. Happens.

    However, it seems like we are clueless about what good things we should look for in a partner to make sure they are right for us (and our mental health). 

    We often don’t notice these because we are too busy looking for the red flags. The next time you are dating someone you really like, maybe notice the green flags aka the good things they bring in your life to confirm that they are a keeper?   
    © Dharma Productions
    We are not saying ignore the red flags. But once you know they aren’t toxic or supremely annoying, maybe keep an eye out for these 5 green flags that guarantee you've got a good one from the lot:

    1. They Support You & Stand With You © iStock
    You know you are with the right person when anything that’s important to you is supported and fully backed by them. 

    Be it a silly business idea or adopting veganism, you should be able to discuss it with them without hesitation because you know they would support your decision.   
    2. They Challenge You In A Healthy Way © iStock
    Your relationship should allow you to grow into a better person emotionally and otherwise. 

    If they push you to do better in your career and academics, challenge you to evolve as a person and add to your life in a positive way, they are a keeper.  
    3. When They Are Willing To Let Things Go  © iStock
    Everyone has flaws and you are bound to have fights when you are dating. The important thing is how your partner handles an argument. 

    If they are willing to forgive and forget and make efforts to be better at things that bother you, that is a major green flag. 
    4. They Genuinely Care About You © iStock
    Not just asking if you ate or not, when your partner shows they care through little things like sending you a loving message when you need it, coming to see you with your favourite food when you are sad and making sure you are healthy and happy, you can be sure you can count on them.

    5. They Put You & Your Needs First © iStock
    There’s nothing better than a partner who’s receptive to your needs and isn’t trying to do things their way all the time. 

    A person adjusting their schedule according to your needs is a tell-tale sign that they are invested in you and a perfect catch.

    Kartik Aaryan has been on a roll as we have been only learning about announcements of his upcoming movies in the recent past. Now, his name has been associated with the Hindi remake of Allu Arjun starrer Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. On Thursday, screenwriter Hussain Dalal revealed Kartik will be playing the lead role in the remake.
    In a conversation with The Times of India, Dalal said, “An actor’s own qualities and personality traits always lend themselves to the screenplay. For instance, Kartik Aaryan as an actor and as a person is different from Allu sir. That has to be factored in while writing the screenplay.”
    View this post on Instagram
    He added, “Allu Arjun has a certain swag and Kartik has his own kind of screen presence and style that we have to play with. An adaptation works best when you are clear about who you are adapting the story for, what you plan to say with it, and how. 
    It might be titled Shehzada and might be directed by Rohit Dhawan.
    Kartik Aaryan also has Ram Madhvani’s Dhamaka, Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and Hansal Mehta’s Captain India in his kitty.

    Talking about Captain India, Kartik said, “Captain India is inspiring and thrilling in equal measure and it gives me great pride and honour to be a part of such a historic chapter of our country. I have immense respect for Hansal Sir’s body of work and this was the perfect opportunity to collaborate with him.”

    Kartik has been enjoying all the limelight and the support that he got from the people when he was dropped from two major movies.

    As a writer, one of the most frustrating things that I experience in my trade is when, sometimes, my content gets plagiarized and used by people as their own. 
    You see, nothing is more important than giving credit where it’s due, because not doing that doesn’t just mean you’re taking away something that doesn’t belong to you, but also that you’re twisting the origin story, and that can open a whole different can of worms.
    Like in the case of this particular Tweet, that claims how Mughals brought Biryani to India, while ‘Chicken Tikka Masala’, the famous dish all of us Indians and the world like to gorge on, was actually a British colonial dish. 
    Have questions already? You're not alone. Read on...

    I’m 25-years-old and it’s been nearly that many years since I’ve been eating this “British colonial dish”, believing it actually originated in India, because well, you know. 
    However, a quick search on Google might have just proved that I, along with a few hundred thousand Indians who thought the same, were absolutely wrong.
    Legend has it (and by that I mean several articles on Google) that the famous and mouth-watering dish dates its origin back to the 1970s when a Bangladeshi chef from Glasgow named Ali Ahmed Aslam of the Shish Mahal restaurant accidentally ended up making this masterpiece for a customer who had a stomach ulcer.

    He added a touch of tomato soup and a variety of spices to the dry chicken, serving it with a hot and spicy gravy and voila! A dish was born that would, eventually, have hundreds of people fighting over its copyright in the comment section of a Twitter thread. 

    As people stand divided on Chicken Tikka Masala being called a 'British colonial dish', here are some of the most entertaining tweets made by people who can’t stop debating on the matter and are clearly not going down without a fight. 
    Many are holding on to the technicality that since India was no longer colonized in the 70s, it doesn’t make it a British dish, while others are hitting back with some cutting edge sass!

    It was the Mughals who gifted the recipe of chicken tikka masala to the Brits. That recipe was handwritten by Aurangzeb himself, who was also the inventor of the wonderful dish. #ThankYouMughals

    British colonial and not British dish.

    This is kind of true. British didn't really invent the dish but a British chef mixed the chicken tikka and the masala gravy when he was short for time and a officer demanded a curry. It caught on from there. Its not their invention but mixed two Indian dishes to make a new one.

    When you have the right people supporting you, the number of supporters you have doesn’t really matter. Well, this was true for Indian Archer Atanu Das, who defeated two-time Olympic champion, Oh Jin Hyek of South Korea, to proceed further into the elimination rounds.

    Given the pandemic and everything, Japan’s Olympic stadiums are virtually without any audience. During their match, Oh Jin Hyek had quite a few people supporting him. Mainly the South Korean support staff and a few other athletes.

    Atanu Das, on the other hand, had just his wife, Deepika Kumari supporting him. Deepika made headlines when she stormed her way into the quarterfinals, after a number of exhilarating elimination matches. Unfortunately, earlier today, she was knocked out of the running in the Women’s Individual Quarterfinal.

    Upon defeating Hyek in his recent elimination match, Atanu credited the win to his wife, Deepika, for cheering him on, all by herself from the stands. She was the only supporter, he had. He was quoted, saying, “I was hearing her all the time. She was pushing me: ‘believe in yourself’, ‘you can do it’, ‘just stay calm and handle the situation.’ I am privileged to have my wife in this competition. She is a great support and motivation for me, so I really did my best in the match today.”

    The two first met at the Tata Academy in Jamshedpur, in 2008, where they were batchmates. However, due to differences in languages and different training routines, they did not cross each other’s path.

    During the 2016 Rio Olympics & the 2017 World Championships in Mexico City, they started getting closer to each other. It was after India’s disastrous showing at the World Championships in 2017 that they grew even closer, when they supported each other through some rough times, and eventually fell in love. 

    They had decided to tie the knot after the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. However, because the Olympics were postponed indefinitely, they decided to go ahead with their wedding in June.

    On the professional front, Atanu is having a blast at the Tokyo Olympics and has upset a number of favourites. Deepika, on the other hand, regained her position as the World No.1 in the Women’s Recurve division, just before the Tokyo Olympics.

    Lovlina Borgohain, making her Olympic debut, has assured India of their second medal at the Tokyo Olympics, after defeating Chinese Taipei’s Nien-Chin Chen 4-1 in the quarterfinals of the women’s welterweight category (64-69kg). 

    The 23-year-old boxer from Assam is just one step away from creating history. One more win and she would become the most successful Indian boxer in Olympic history. 
    While that would be some achievement, Lovlina wants to go all the way and clinch India’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in boxing.

    “There is only one medal and that is gold, that is what we compete for. I am not thinking about anything right now. Don't want to stop here, want to win gold,” said Lovlina, during a virtual press conference and made her intentions clear about the ultimate target. 

    Like most Indian athletes competing at Tokyo 2020, Lovlina comes from a very humble background. 
    She hails from Baro Mukhia, a remote village in Assam’s Golaghat district, which still lacks basic facilities like drinking water, roads and hospitals, as reported by The New Indian Express. 
    Boxer Lovlina Borgohain has just won her quarter-final welterweight bout and India's guaranteed another medal. Now it's a question of the colour!

    After being neglected for years, the villagers have now pinned their hopes on Lovlina, hoping that an Olympic medal would force the authorities to build the basic infrastructure in their village and make their life easy. 

    Apart from the country's hopes, Lovlina has so much riding on her young shoulders but she has not let this affect her game and completely dominated her bout against a former world champion, who had defeated her four times before Friday’s bout.

    “I enjoyed myself in this bout, played freely. There was no strategy, no plan. I knew her from before, the plan wasn't even needed. In today's bout, the key was that I didn't take any pressure, it would have been counterproductive. I only tried to give my 100 per cent,” said Lovlina, when asked to reflect on her strategy for the quarterfinals bout.

    That said, playing to fulfill the dreams of her 2000-odd fellow villagers, she would be extra-motivated and we might see her create history.

    Sometimes, it gets difficult to digest that we’re in the year 2021, almost 30 years from the 90s, which the internet has collectively declared as the most nostalgic and memorable time in our collective history. 
    For obvious reasons that we were all conveniently born then, most of us have the tendency to view our past through rose tinted glasses.
    There was a time back then, where TV shows could make you laugh without resorting to cheap tricks and dirty tropes. Comedy was simple, but smart too. Managing to keep an entire generation laughing, every day, without fail. 
    It was a fine line that the Indian TV industry kowtowed well for almost a decade before it eventually became formulaic and regressed. 
    However, let’s take a look at 5 TV shows from our golden childhood that had no business being as funny as they were: 
    1.  Zabaan SambhalkeAn Indian remake of the popular show Mind Your Language, Zabaan Sambhalke had Pankaj Kapoor going about his duties as a Hindi language instructor, teaching students hailing from different nationalities.  
    The comical gaffes and lost-in-translation scenes gave an entire generation of Indian audiences endless laughs. 

    2. Sarabhai vs Sarabhai An undeniable cult classic, the original run of Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai is often considered one of the finest comedy shows made for the Indian TV screens. 
    Each character had their unique idiosyncrasies that didn’t feel forced or gimmicky, instead, they found a way to seamlessly trade setups and punchlines among them. 
    From Rosesh’s neverending poems to Maya and Monisha’s constant bickering, this show had it all without making it feel out of place. 
    Unfortunately, the second run of the series didn’t enjoy much applause. 

    3. Tu Tu Main Main First aired in 1994, Tu Tu Main Main packaged the desi saas-bahu relationship with a generous serving of smart and cutting humour. 
    The fervent to-and-fro between Radha and Devkiben was something that a majority of the Indian TV viewing audience related to. It managed to keep things funny, without seeming forced. 

    4. Khichdi Khichdi brought about, what I believe, was the golden age for Indian TV. 
    The show had seemingly cracked the perfect formula to make us laugh, with Praful’s ever so optimistic and self-assured way of responding to every “Prafooool… matlab...” sent his way by Hansa. 
    The show was aptly named after the classic Indian dish. Simple, clean humour that was easily digested by the masses. 

    5.  Mr. Bean  At a point in time, Mr. Bean was one of the most frequently viewed TV shows in India. 
    Rowan Atkinson’s peculiar mannerisms as the titular character won him widespread fanfare across the globe, including India. 
    The beauty of Mr. Bean lay in the fact that language wasn’t required to understand the humour in the scenes. Our protagonist’s expressions were enough to transcend any form of linguistic boundaries. A classic. 

    These are some of the shows I grew up with, shows that never failed to get a laugh out of me. And even in 2021, these shows make me laugh harder than anything on my TV screen, presently.

    It would clearly be an understatement to say that the last month has really been a very tough one for disgraced Indian businessman Raj Kundra and his wife Shilpa Shetty.

    © Instagram
    Everywhere across the country and even outside of it, the news of Kundra's alleged hand in the recently-discovered pornography scandal has spread like wildfire.

    It is unremarkably the most talked-about news in town and well, doesn't seem to be dying down any soon. Especially, with new crazy twists and turns that are unravelling almost on a daily basis.
    Now, in a sensational accusation labelled by BJP leader Ram Kadam, Kundra has now been accused of masterminding and orchestrating a Rs 3,000 crore gambling fraud as well as of physically harassing a model and actress, reports state. 
    © BCCL
    The BJP leader, while addressing a press conference, said:

    “On April 14, 2021, a famous model-cum-actress complained of physical harassment against Raj Kundra at the Juhu Police station. But the application wasn’t moved ahead and there was pressure on the model. The government has to answer who were these people who put pressure on the actress and why no action was taken against Raj Kundra,” said Kadam.
    The lawmaker then went on to elaborate on the gambling charges, stating that the Mumbai-based Viaan Industries Limited had started an online game by the name of ‘Game of Dot’.
    The online game then resorted to committing fraud and collecting crores from various distributors across the county before cutting off all communications suddenly.
    “Kundra used his wife Shilpa Shetty to forward this game and attract distributors. When these people realized that a fraud has been committed, they were beaten up and cases were put against them,” said Kadam.
    He also added how the company, despite claiming to run a legitimate business, ended up violating all rules and regulations in its aim of cheating the public.
    “If no action is taken against the culprits, we will approach the Mumbai police commissioner and home minister. We also want to understand how has this government tolerated the injustice and fraud committed on the people of Maharashtra,” said Kadam.
    Phew! It really feels like Kundra is now entangled in his own web and things are just getting worse and worse for him and for Shilpa as well.
