The food delivery app Zomato has been in the news since last week after a Bengaluru-based beauty blogger raised objections over a delivery person behaving rudely with her. She even alleged that he punched her in the nose which left her bleeding. People started to sympathize with her but perceptions changed when the other side came to the fore on social media.
In an interview with The News Minute, the delivery person named Kamaraj, who has been suspended by the company after the complaint, refuted the claims and revealed that it was her who hit him with the slippers. In order to save himself, he pushed her and it was her ring that left her hurt.
“She suddenly threw slippers at me and started hitting me. For my safety, when she was hitting me, I tried to use my hand to shield her blows. When she was trying to push my hand away, she accidentally hit herself with her finger ring on the nose, which led to the bleeding. Anybody who sees her face will understand that this wouldn't be created by a punch. And I don’t wear any rings,” said Kamraj.
View this post on InstagramNo one from Bollywood had commented on the incident until Parineeti Chopra took to social media and urged the delivery service to look into the matter and find out the truth.
She wrote, "Zomato India - PLEASE find and publicly report the truth. If the gentleman is innocent (and I believe he is), PLEASE help us penalize the woman in question. This is inhuman, shameful, and heartbreaking. Please let me know how I can help. #ZomatoDeliveryGuy @zomatoin."

After her tweet started to get traction, some people appreciated her move and some started to bash her for being judgemental as she chose to call the lady culprit without waiting for the truth.
Thanks so much for raising voice for humanity, Equality.
This country is becoming hell for even innocent men. Selfish and gold diggers lookup for every opportunity to get fame, publicity, attention, money, property and defame men.#Thanksgiving

For starters you could help by shutting up and not giving your judgemental view that the gentleman is innocent only by listening to a couple of interviews! Can you help zomato in this way ?

Manish Malhotra is a leading designer who has been dressing some of the biggest stars in Bollywood for a very long time now.
His costumes in movies have served as an inspiration for a lot of Indians who look to emulate the outfits.
Goes without saying that Manish is also a major fashion aficionado who strives to bring his creativity into his personal outfits and looks as well.
Just like other b-towners who have time and again wore some zany ensembles, Manish too has been at the forefront when it comes to bold fashion statements.

Having said that, he clearly has a grasp on what works for him.
His monstrous sneakers or tech running shoes are a testament to the fact that he knows how to deck up for a particular occasion.
We have been following his style moves quite closely and this time, yet again, he wore a pair with dope aesthetics. Take a look.
What He Wore: © Viral Bhayani
Manish kept his outfit quite simple. We like how he has opted for a monochromatic look. He teamed a black short kurta with black pants.
The outfit looks dapper and even though it's basic, the shoes here, no doubt, added that much-needed panache to his overall look.
The Brands: © Louis Vuitton
Another thing that's certain about Manish is the fact that he is into extravagant things.
This time, he wore Louis Vuitton's Beaubourg Platform Derby with heels. These are actually from the women's section but combine masculine and feminine influences.
This is one of the standout looks from the Fall-Winter 2019 collection.
© Louis Vuitton
The pair has thick laces with white eyelets and stitching. The chunky but lightweight outsole is made to add extra height.
The Price: © Viral Bhayani
These sneakers are a statement piece for several reasons and since they are designed by a high-end luxury brand, the cost of the shoes is bound to be sky-high.
For those of you who are as curious as we are, these cost roughly $1060, which converts to Rs 77,124 approximately. Add your regular customs and import duties and these would be worth almost Rs 80,000.
Why It Works: © Twitter/Meninheels
© Viral Bhayani
For the unversed, decades ago, heels had actually found their place in the wardrobes of male soldiers, royals and aristocrats. The origin can be traced back to 15th Century Persia when soldiers wore such heels to secure their feet in stirrups.
Well, Manish continues to score brownie points for taking bold fashion risks and knocking it out of the park, every time!

The second of five T20I matches between India and England at the Narendra Modi Stadium proved that if there is a team in the world that has the capabilities of bouncing back from a devastating defeat, it is the Virat Kohli-led squad.
And when the team has debutants playing like the way a 22-year-old Ishan Kishan did, the job becomes even easier.
View this post on InstagramComing to bat at the top of the order with KL Rahul, Kishan quickly saw his partner lose his wicket and walk about to the dressing room. However, instead of getting under pressure, the south-paw started playing like the way he usually does for Mumbai Indians - with utmost aggression.
Kishan to Pant after hitting a six! #INDvENG #SaddaPunjab #PunjabKings pic.twitter.com/hAXhrBwk6P
— Punjab Kings (@PunjabKingsIPL) March 14, 2021
With five fours and four beautiful sixes all over the Motera Stadium, the Patna-born batted like there was no tomorrow, which also ended up becoming the bane of his innings later in the day but more on that, later.
In a casual interview with teammate Yuzvendra Chahal, Kishan opened up about his debut half-ton and how his captain encouraged him to allow himself a proper celebration after the feat:
View this post on Instagram
Unshaken and without a crumble of doubt in his mind, the big-hitter scored his first half-century in style when he struck a maximum to reach the 50-run mark but wasn’t too sure of his score.
So it took him some time to realise that he had scored a 50 and that it was time for him to acknowledge the fans who were cheering for him. With humble and shy nature, the debut-man raised his bat coyly before going back to the pitch.
View this post on InstagramThis is when Kohli approached him, and said “top innings” as he congratulated him in person. Kohli also motivated him to enjoy this achievement properly.
“Oye! Charo taraf ghoomke bat dikha. Sabko bat dikha! Pehla match hai tera, bohot achhe (Hey! Show your bat in all directions. Show it to everyone! It is your first match, very good),” Kohli told Kishan.

That is when the young batsman got over his shyness and truly appreciated the moment.
If there had to be a criticism of Kishan’s innings it would be the kind of shot he was trying to go for when he ended up throwing his wicket. Despite failing to connect a reverse sweep against Adil Rashid just a couple of balls before, Kishan tried to go for it once again.

Missing again, the ball struck him on his thigh and right in front of the off stump. Despite taking a review against umpire Anil Chaudhary’s LBW, Kishan failed to stick to the crease and had to walk back as Kohli held the ship and guided the team to victory.

The Indian cricket team made a strong comeback in the second match of the five-match T20I series against the touring England side with a seven-wicket win and 13 balls to spare while chasing a 164-run mark.
While the two middle-order bowling all-rounders in Shardul Thakur and Washington Sundar got themselves two wickets each, the major highlights of the match came from the bats of debutant Ishan Kishan and skipper Virat Kohli himself.
View this post on Instagram
And we’ll get to Kishan’s exceptional debut performance in a bit but before that, it’s time to check out what happened to the former Indian cricketer and legend, Virender Sehwag who had criticised the previously off-form batsman in Kohli.
After Kohli’s unbeaten 73-run innings led the squad to tie the series at 1-1, Sehwag tweeted a simple ‘Gajab (amazing)’ meme to celebrate India’s victory but said nothing about the skipper’s innings or return to form.
All one can say when we win convincingly like this.#INDvENG pic.twitter.com/JLdLlQYNHP
— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) March 14, 2021
“All one can say when we win convincingly like this,” he tweeted.
Fans from all over the country immediately hopped on his Twitter thread to give him an earful about not standing alongside Team India captain during his down-time:
I like u as a cricketer,I admire you for having an amazing cricket brain bt when it comes to trolling Indian Team I hate you the most. Support and back the captain in their downfalls not in their sucess.@virendersehwag ur support means a lot so pls go ahead and do tht evertime
— ImAshok (@ImpspkAshok) March 14, 2021Jab jeete to bhai support kar rahe hai, jab harenge to captain ko bura bhala kahenge or rohit ko nahi khilayenge to match bhi nahi dekhenge. @virendersehwag ye hypocrisy band kardo sir...mcccc
— abd - salman (@abde000017) March 14, 2021Now you don't talk about missing Rohit, sad that you comment on losing matches and don't support in such a time
— Uday reddy (@ImUKreddy) March 14, 2021I think today also you switched off your television because @ImRo45 had not played. Today no one will say anything because today 🇮🇳 won the match. Whenever team losses its because of captain and whenever team wins its because of players.
— Dave_09 (@Wanderer8221) March 14, 2021“If Rohit Sharma is present, then he should be kept in the team. The public comes to see players like Rohit. I am his fan myself. If he does not play, my TV will be turned off,” Sehwag had said during the Cricbuzz Live show after the debacle in the first of two T20I matches that Rohit Sharma was rested for.
“It was said that Rohit Sharma will take a break in a couple of matches, but does this rule apply for Virat Kohli as well. As a captain, I don’t think he comes and says that I will take a break for the next two or three matches. I don’t remember a time captain Kohli has taken a break by himself. If the skipper is not taking a break, so how does he give others the break? That should depend on the player,” Sehwag had added following Kohli’s duck in the first match.
Ishan Kishan’s Dream Debut View this post on Instagram
After the early loss of KL Rahul, it was Kishan who brought the same level of intensity that fans are used to seeing from him during the Indian Premier League and it was ‘open season’ for the 22-year old from that point on.
From Jofra Archer to Adil Rashid, Kishan was merciless in his early pursuit to give the Men in Blue a quick advantage when he smashed a thoroughly entertaining 56 off 32 deliveries. His stint in the middle made him only the second Indian batsman to score a half-century on T20I debut (after Ajinkya Rahane).
View this post on Instagram
By the time he lost his wicket on an LBW (albeit trying a needless reverse sweep) to Rashid, the damage was already done, and the striking duo of Rishabh Pant and Kohli was almost enough to drive home the victory until Shreyas Iyer joined his skipper in the middle to finish the job.

Whether you like Bollywood or hate it, there’s one thing no one familiar with the industry can deny: the sensationalization. As with any type of mainstream Indian media, the masala is what drives a vast majority of Bollywood movies and the craze of biopics did not manage to escape this treatment either.
Bollywood has a long history of distorting or even making up facts to suit films’ narratives, which has been evidenced in the many biopics that have come out in the recent years.
With Parineeti Chopra-starring Saina Nehwal biopic just around the corner (with a release date of 26 March), we thought we’d have a look at three of the biggest fails we’ve seen in the past — with hope that this time it might turn out different!
1. Dangal © UTV Motion Pictures
Starting with Dangal, the 2016 Amir Khan-starring film that goes into the life of Mahavir Singh Phogat and his older daughters Geeta and Babita Phogat. The film is overall enjoyable and tackles important issues with care; however, there were still facts that the movie got wrong while trying to keep viewers at the edge of their seats.
For one, there was the depiction of the character of Geeta’s coach, PR Sondhi. In the movie, the coach had taken up somewhat of an antagonistic role, who at the very end of the movie had even locked up Geeta’s father inside a storeroom during the last match.
The real-life coach had objected to this portrayal, saying it was damaging to his reputation and that the security would’ve found out had he actually ever done that. It had been later clarified that the incident had been fictionalised. Another glaring distortion of reality to create drama were the matches itself, with the movie showing lost matches where there hadn’t been an incorrect point division in the last match at the climax of the movie.

2. Gunjan Saxena © Instagram/janhvikapoor
One of the most recent examples, the 2020-released Gunjan Saxena had been heavily criticised for borrowing from reality rather than staying true to it, coming from various ex-officers of the Indian Air Force (IAF). Besides questions over some of the “firsts” claimed in the movie, the biggest issue had been the portrayal of gender bias.
Many had pointed out that the infrastructural disadvantages shown in the film were not actually true and basic facilities for women had been well provided. It had gotten to the point that Gunjan Saxena, whose life the film had portrayed, had responded to the critics citing “creative license” taken by the filmmakers.
© Instagram/janhvikapoor
While that is certainly true, and to no fault of the real Gunjan Saxena, there must be certain things that cannot be excused in a movie when it comes to a biopic. And much can be said about how many strides the movie could’ve taken towards representing true gender bias had it not distorted basic facts.
3. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag © Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra Pictures
Yup, the wonderfully inspiring movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag had its moments of factual inaccuracies as well. Though overall it seems to remain true to real-life occurrences, it wouldn’t be a Bollywood production if the creators didn’t try to add even more drama to the story!
For one, the movie shows Milkha as breaking the 400m world record with a time of 45.8 seconds in 1960, which is entirely untrue. In actuality, it was merely his personal goal, and the record had then been set by Lou Jones at 45.2 seconds in 1956.
© Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra Pictures
The film features various other distortions, such as the Lahore race (and the consequent earning of the title “Flying Sikh”) occuring after Rome when in real life it happened well before, besides tiny inaccuracies in period depiction.
What are some other movies you know that have distorted facts and presented wrong information? Tell us in the comments below!
