    Regardless of whatever the critics have to say, the fact remains that the Indian cricket team has been very, very good with Ravi Shastri as the head coach. From T20Is to the longest format of the game, the former skipper has seen his squad achieve some exceptional feats under his tutelage. Case in point, the iconic Indian tour of Australia and arguably the best Test series win in the history of the game.
    As Ravi Shastri turns 59, here are 5 times his candid nature made Team India fans fall in love with him:
    1. Goti Muh Mein Tha
    Come on. You know we had to start off with this. We know you were already thinking about this moment. During India’s tour of Australia back in December 2018, the Men in Blue were frustrated with the lower-order resistance shown by the hosts during the first match at Adelaide and according to Shastri, the fear of an unexpected defeat at the hands of “batsman” Josh Hazlewood had begun to creep up in their minds, although, in the end, Ravichandran Ashwin was able to take his wicket.
    However, the way Shastri admitted being coiled in nervousness during the final moments of the match became immortalised when he said, “Sach bole to Goti muh mein tha (To be honest, we almost had balls in our mouth),” during the post-match presentation.
    2. Tracer BulletNo matter how great of a head coach Ravi Shastri already is and regardless of how many more achievements he will go on to earn at this position, what people can’t argue with is the fact that he will always remain an even better commentator. His trademark “Like a tracer bullet,” compliment must feel like every batsman’s dream and not everyone can mimic what the Mumbai-born started. 
    3. Bhaad Mein Gaya Pitch
    In an era when the pitch report has become an extremely important point of discussion when it comes to the success or failure of a squad *looking at you, Michael Vaughan* Ravi Shastri said ‘screw this’ and was absolutely thrilled when his boys dominated the South Africans 3-0 despite having favourable turf for the touring side.
    “Our motto was to take pitches out of the equation. ‘Bhaad me gaya pitch’ (to hell with the pitches). Whether it’s Johannesburg or Melbourne or Mumbai, we want to take the pitch out of the equation. With the batting line-up we have, if they post big totals and then we have bowlers who can take 20 wickets – we can keep taking those world championship points we’re after. Rahane was never going to go anywhere, he had to rediscover his touch which he’s done,” Ravi Shastri told Star Sports after the match.
    4. Have A Drink On My Name.@RaviShastriOfc reacts to his memes doing the rounds #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/pNvZxKgUmM
    — ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) March 7, 2021 Following India’s dominating series win against the touring England cricket team in a four-Test clash, the former Indian skipper got in front of the camera for an online interview and addressed the numerous social media posts that revolve around him and his fondness for alcoholic beverages.
    "It's banter all the way. They do it to have fun. It's at my expense, but it's okay," Ravi Shastri said in the post-match press conference the day after his Men in Blue thrashed Joe Root and CO. in just two and a half days to win the series at the newly inaugurated Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. "Have a drink on my name. When you post those kinds of things, so many people have a laugh," the India coach said. "Enjoy, it doesn't affect me.”
    5. The Audi 100
    Winning the Audi 100 continues to be one of the greatest prized possessions in Ravi Shastri's trophy room and the legendary all-rounder says that he still gets goosebumps thinking about the moment he earned this award, especially against some tough competition in Pakistan’s Javed Miandad.
    He won it in 1985 after beating Pakistan and had said that Miandad "had no chance of getting the Audi," but the Pakistan captain "had to needle" him so that he "would get distracted." The car is still with him and is in pristine condition.

    Priyanka Chopra is one of the most versatile actors Bollywood has ever had. So much so, that it may seem like she has never tasted failure. However, that’s not true. 

    She has achieved so much over the years, from becoming Miss Universe, to starring as a lead in American TV series and much more. However, amid all the stardom she has now, we tend to forget that she has seen failure too.

    In an interview with Vogue Australia, Priyanka Chopra recently spoke about her failures and battles. She said, “No one only wins. I’ve lost many battles. I’ve done many, many movies that no one has watched. It’s what you do after failures that defines you. To me, life is a ladder. It’s never a destination.”
    She also spoke about the power of working hard and she also expressed how this will pave the way for many generations to come after her, how it will make things a little easier.

    She said, “We as Asians have always been taught that you’ve got to run faster than everyone to get where you’re going…I wanted to be seen as a mainstream leading lady, and not be boxed into the stereotype I saw a lot of, that required 10 years of work…and finally, I feel like I’ve been able to get to a place where I am doing that.” 
    She added, “So, I think the responsibility is to constantly push the goalposts, not just for yourself, but for everyone who comes after you. For the next generation of South Asian talent, I want it not to take 10 years for them to get the roles that they want.”

    The new digital rules for social media websites, media outlets and OTT services have gone into effect while being met with some resistance from the top companies involved. However, when it comes to Google, the company generally complies with local laws and engages with the Government constructively. In fact, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has responded to the new rules set forth by the Indian Government in a conference call with select reporters.

    "It's obviously early days and our local teams are very engaged... we always respect local laws in every country we operate in and we work constructively. We have clear transparency reports, when we comply with government requests, we highlight that in our transparency reports," Pichai said. 

    “As a company, we are very clear about the values of a free and open internet and the benefits it brings and we advocate for it, and we engage constructively with regulators around the world, and we participate in these processes, I think it's a part of how we learn…" he added. 
    He also added that the company respected the legislative process and would push back if required. "It's a balance we have struck around the world," he said. Pichai also highlighted that technology is evolving at a faster pace and is touching society in deeper ways. 
    “So, we fully expect governments rightfully to both scrutinise and adopt regulatory frameworks. Be it Europe with copyright directive or India with information regulation etc, we see it as a natural part of societies figuring out how to govern and adapt themselves in this technology-intensive world," he said.

    The new rules and guidelines for social media platforms came into effect on Wednesday and they directly impact platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Google. The new rules will require platforms to appoint a chief compliance officer, a nodal officer for contact, and a resident grievance officer. The new guidelines will also require platforms to follow due diligence which has not been the case so far. 

    Platforms will also be required to set up a complaint redressal system with an officer that is based in the country. In addition, affected platforms will have to publish a monthly compliance report discussing details of complaints received and the necessary action taken. The companies will also have to be on their feet to remove content proactively.

    Just weeks ago, Kartik Aaryan was in news for parting ways with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and it was revealed he has been dropped from the upcoming sequel of Dostana. 

    Multiple sources stated that it was because of his 'unprofessional attitude' that the production house decided to end the chapter, and Karan vowed never to work with Kartik.
    In a recent and yet shocking development, Kartik will no more be a part of Shah Rukh Khan’s production Red Chilies Entertainment’s venture that is tentatively titled, Freddie. 
    The film was supposed to mark the first collaboration of Kartik and Katrina Kaif.
    View this post on Instagram
    According to the Komal Nahata-led entertainment website Film Information, "The main reason for Kartik being dropped from producer Shah Rukh Khan's film is the same as Dharma Productions' Dostana 2. This time too, Aaryan wanted the script changed- after having approved of it while signing the film. Luckily for Red Chillies, the film had not gone on the sets and hence there isn't a lot of investment gone into the film, which would've otherwise gone down the drain. In the case of Dostana 2, Kartik had already shot for around 20 days." 

    However, according to Bollywood Hungama, it’s Kartik who opted to walk out of the movie. A source cited the same reason but also added that the script was earlier narrated to him as a one-liner plot. 
    The source said, “Apparently, creative differences developed between Kartik and the director Ajay Bahl due to which the actor decided on leaving the project. Kartik was not happy with the developed script as it was different from what was narrated to him as a one-liner plot.” 
    The source further added, “Kartik Aaryan had signed on with Red Chillies over two years ago. Recently Kartik shot for Dhamaka during the pandemic which was a thriller. Post shooting for Dhamaka, Kartik informed Red Chillies that he felt that doing another thriller so quickly would not be apt for his career. He requested to opt out and his request was considered. The parting was amicable between Kartik and Red Chillies.”
    Kartik has also refunded the Rs. 2 crore signing amount to Red Chillies for the project.
    After the news became public, people on social media lost their cool and they feel that he is being targeted. 
    People are bashing the Bollywood gang for defaming him and want to hear his side of the story too as they are not convinced with the one-sided narrative.

    If you are a Friends fan, you know that 27th May is a special day. The sole reason for this is, Friends Reunion is happening today in India. 

    We remember the show as one of the funniest shows of its time and is a megahit even today for its warm, unique, and relatable characters. 
    The show is truly timeless and that's one of the reasons, why we still continue to watch it in the background and don't mind the repetition.

    As per Variety's report, each star of Friends cast would have been paid at least $2.5 million for the special episode. If you convert it to Indian currency, this sums to Rs 18.2 Crore. Yes, let that sink in!

    Friends is now a big deal on HBO Max. It is said that the company splurged more than $425 million in 2019 to get exclusive rights for the show. 
    The show earlier streamed on Netflix but now since HBO got the rights, one can watch it on the channel. On Netflix though, Friends is one of the most-watched shows.

    Today is the day that every Friends fan has waited for years. 

    After the show ended in 2004 after its very successful 10-year run, all we have thought about is when will we see those six friends back on the orange sofa again sipping coffee.

    The reunion episode, which is an unscripted special, offers much more than that. 

    According to the first reviews, it will take you down memory lane and finally give you, what they call ‘closure’.
    We have all spent our childhood and teenage years watching Friends and even today it’s one of the top trending picks on Netflix in India.

    Friends: The Reunion features the six main leads Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, and David Schwimmer reliving and reminiscing about the show, getting teary-eyed and even recreating some moments.

    If you have high expectations from the reunion episode, you won’t be disappointed. The critics who got early access to the episode put in their reviews and here is what they have to say.

    Spoiler, it will be the most nostalgic, fun-packed and emotional two hours for every Friends fan out there.

    Caroline Framke from Variety writes, “Friends: The Reunion” isn’t trying to be revealing, at least not about anything that thorny or unpleasant. It’s here to entertain and to remind fans why they love the show.

    According to Rolling Stone, “The long-awaited HBO Max special is an overproduced affair with too many guest stars and detours — but when it lets the iconic gang of six just talk amongst themselves, it hits the nostalgic sweet spot."

    FirstPost’s Devansh Sharma writes, “It took us through every emotion that the show or any of its episodes did — there was camaraderie, interminable joy, and understated sadness. But this time, there was another friend sitting in the corner of the room, just smiling at us. It was nostalgia. 

    Anita Singh from The Telegraph says, “17 years felt like the blink of an eye as the cast returned to the sofa for a star-studded game show. It shouldn’t have worked – but it did.”

    Friends The Reunion will stream in India exclusively on Zee5 Premium at 12.32 PM IST on 27th May 2021. Less than an hour to go! Could we be any more excited?

    Arjun Kapoor recently responded to a fan’s comment that praised him for putting his best efforts in all his films and blamed his bad luck for the failure.

    He agreed with the thoughts of his fan and said that some of his films like Mubarakan never got their due. Mubarakan was directed by Anees Bazmee and Arjun played a double role in the film.
    This year, Arjun has seen two releases - Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Sardar Ka Grandson.
    The former was released in theatres but due to Covid-19, we couldn’t see the film's box office performance. However, it was later released on OTT and garnered positive reviews.

    Sardar Ka Grandson was also released on Netflix.
    In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Arjun reacted to a comment saying that his films didn’t work due to bad luck. He said, “Thank you for that. I think it’s very sweet. He is being honest about the fact that he is supporting me regardless of a few films not working out and I think that is being a fan, eventually, and I respect that.”
    He also said, “I completely agree. I think bad luck, of course... A film like Mubarakan didn’t get its due. It was a really good film, it was entertaining, a clean family entertainer. Then, there were too many other films releasing. There have been moments like that. I have also done films that unfortunately didn’t pan out, but like he rightly said, I have always given my best effort. It’s good to know that people respect that or regard that and are by your side, cheering for you, to reconnect with the audience and get revitalized, re-engaged with them.”

    Arjun Kapoor will be next seen in a horror-comedy, Bhoot Police along with Saif Ali Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ali Fazal. Not only this, he is also part of the film Ek Villain Returns, co-starring John Abraham, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria.

    Sushil Kumar, who turned 38 on Wednesday, has been arrested and kept in police custody for six days for the murder case of fellow wrestler Sagar Rana. 
    After weeks of intensive searches, raids at Kumar’s numerous hideouts across the National Capital Region, and issuing cash rewards for any information in his name, Delhi Police’s Special Cell was finally able to get their hands on the Olympian on Saturday evening.

    Based on the reports of multiple publications, Kumar was taken to the Model Town police station shortly after his arrest and was questioned on the details of the day the crime took place. The officials have explained that he had been feeling sorry for his actions and said that he had no intention of killing Rana. 
    Kumar also cried throughout the questioning session, did not sleep the whole night, and refused to eat anything.

    On his birthday, the two-time Olympic medallist found himself in the lock-up, completely by himself with the police refusing his family any time to meet the athlete. 
    “His family members approached us as they wanted to meet him but they were denied. We passed on the birthday wishes to Mr. Kumar, however, he didn’t react. His body language shows that he is regretting his action,” a senior officer said according to The Hindu.  
    The same officer also mentioned that Sushil Kumar had also made a request for a “wrestler’s diet” while under police custody and was straightaway refused. He was only provided with the food available in the police mess and remains under “round-the-clock” monitoring. 
    Delhi: Operation Cell, Rohini District, apprehended four active members of Kala Asauda-Neeraj Bawana gang, from Kanjhawala area yesterday. All of them were found to be the associates of wrestler Sushil Kumar in the 23-year-old Sagar Rana's murder case at… pic.twitter.com/MiKOk3y8UH

    And while for now, it seems as if the protocol is being followed in Kumar’s arrest, the parents and other family members of the victim feel he may try to use his political influence to weasel out of the situation. 
    "The one who murdered my son does not deserve to be called a mentor. All the medals won by Sushil Kumar should be taken from him. We believe that police will investigate properly but Sushil will try to influence it by using his political links," Rana's mother argued according to India Today. 
    "We are hoping for justice. Where did he go when he was absconding, who gave him shelter, and most importantly the gangsters with whom he is connected to. He should be hanged so that people learn a lesson and think before killing his own pupil," said Rana’s father.
