    No one likes being blamed for something they did not do.

    So, one can imagine how Marwa Elselehdar felt, when she was blamed for bringing one of the world's most strategic shipping routes, the Suez Canal, to a complete halt!

    By the way, Elselehdar is no ordinary woman. She is Egypt’s first female ship captain, which is why her name being dragged into a major controversy for absolutely no reason, is a big issue.

    A fake news campaign blaming Elselehdar for the blockage was being circulated, according to a BBC report. However, the truth of the matter is that the captain was nowhere near the scene of the incident, in fact, she was on duty miles away in Alexandria.

    “I was shocked. I felt that I might be targeted maybe because I’m a successful female in this field or because I’m Egyptian, but I’m not sure,” the 29-year-old captain was quoted in the BBC report.

    Elselehdar further stated that a lot of people still don’t accept the idea of women working away from their families in the seas, which could have been a major reason why they believed the fake news so easily.
    "This fake article was in English so it spread in other countries. I tried so hard to negate what was in the article because it was affecting my reputation and all the efforts I exerted to be where I am now," she said.

    At present, women only account for 2% of the world's seafarers, according to the International Maritime Organisation.

    On March 23rd a massive container ship named Ever Given found itself stuck in the Suez Canal, the world’s busiest shipping route. Such was the scale of the disaster that it was blocking at least 12% of the global trade.
    Last week, traffic resumed in the Suez Canal after the stranded container ship was finally freed by salvage crews.

    Anil Kapoor has been an unstoppable force in the industry ever since he ventured into Bollywood. 

    Even at the age of 64, Mr Kapoor seems to be ageing in reverse, thanks to his sartorial choices, that do total justice to his rather young demeanour. 
    From being a pro at the layering game to stepping out wearing zany sneakers, he is amongst the most fashionable actors of Bollywood who can ace almost every type of trend.

    His fashion game seems to be getting fiercer by the day and you would agree with us as you check out his latest look. 

    I mean, he is wearing a Hawaiian shirt with classic denims. And, how can we oversee his sneakers? He legit wore two different pairs.
    Take a look.

    There are many celebrities in Bollywood that are hypebeasts. Anil's son-in-law, Anand Ahuja too is one of them. 

    With this recent look, Mr Kapoor just proved that his sneaker game is as lit as others in the industry. 
    He is wearing Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low. The pair comes in dark brown panels with a backward Swoosh on the lateral side. The swoosh makes the pair look different, as it's embossed in different colours.

    The upper is made in premium nubuck with black and brown tones. There are red highlights on the tongue tags with embroidered heel logos. 

    The Sail midsole completes the clean design of the pair.

    This pair was launched back in 2019 and was worth Rs 9,547. The price of the pair has now surged and it retails for Rs 68,885 as per Stockx.

    We repeat, Anil is 64 years old and still manages to turn heads with his fashion game. 

    This one with a printed shirt and classic denims, shows his immaculate style sense. 
    That, with a fedora hat, sunglasses and zany sneakers, is an out-of-the-box look but Anil pulled it off with complete flair. Way to go, sir!

    “Give a man a mask and he'll become his true self,” this line and the idea behind it got engraved in my mind the very first time I saw Heath Ledger be the best version of the Joker in The Dark Knight (2008).
    There were actors before him and actors after his unfortunate demise who tried to bring life to the character of the ‘Clown Prince of Crime’ and even though Joaquin Phoenix was great, nobody can touch the kind of work Ledger did for Christopher Nolan over a decade ago.

    But what made the Australian actor become such a disturbing yet breathtaking Joker? 

    Other than some brilliant screen-writing and exceptional directing by one of the best, Ledger himself went forward and made some significant sacrifices which came to fruition and got him acknowledged by the critics and fans alike.
    Here are four sacrifices made by the Heath Ledger which established his version of the Joker as the best:
    1. Self Isolation For Six WeeksHeath Ledger, few months to the set of Batman had to isolate himself in a hotel in London with a diary & experimented his laughing, imagined voices & talked to himself for weeks so he'd properly lose his mind while getting bare hours of sleep to perfect The Joker role. pic.twitter.com/Yww4kKQxDM
    — W On Screens (@WhatsOnScreens) August 24, 2019
    Arguably the biggest known fact about how Ledger got into the character of the ‘Agent of Chaos’, was him completely cutting himself off from the rest of the world and limiting himself to a hotel room for six weeks. 

    During this time, he also created a famous ‘Joker’ diary which described what went on inside the actor’s mind. Pictures of hyenas and comic book clippings were also pasted inside the sheets.
    2. Unnatural Voice Leading To Dry Mouth
    Heath Ledger had a very deep voice and while playing the role of the Joker, he went with an unnatural voice and ended up with a dry mouth in between takes. 
    That is why he introduced licking his lips while delivering his lines to keep them moist, which became a very significant part of his character as a whole.
    Later in his 2017 biopic, I Am Heath Ledger, it was also mentioned that he did it in order to keep the prosthetics of his scar wet and stuck to his face.
    3. Threw Himself On Walls To Get Hurt For Real
    During the interrogation scene from the movie, Ledger wanted Christian Bale to actually hit him as hard as possible and but when the latter declined his offer, he began to throw himself against the walls in order to make the contact look genuine.
    “He was slamming himself around, and there were tiled walls inside of that set which were cracked and dented from him hurling himself into them. His commitment was total," Bale had said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. 
    4. Extreme Insomnia Because of Playing The Joker
    Although Ledger suffered from insomnia for years, his sleep troubles got worse while he was shooting for The Dark Knight as the Joker. 
    According to Looper, the kind of physical and mental exhaustion he went through for the role took a massive toll on his body. 
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@heathledger)
    In an interview with the New York Times while the movie was in production, Ledger opened up about how he could only sleep for a couple of hours every day before he would wake up, with his mind racing with the thoughts of the character.
    “Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he said. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.”
    Eventually, it was his sleep deprivation which led to his untimely death of the actor before the film’s release due to an accidental overdose of prescribed sleeping medication, and the artist didn’t live long enough to see his art.
