    Producer Boney Kapoor is extremely upset over the upcoming clash between his much-awaited sports-drama Maidaan starring Ajay Devgn, and director SS Rajamouli’s historical drama, Roudram Ranam Rudhiram (RRR).

    In a recent interview, Kapoor lashed out at Rajamouli alleging lack of camaraderie among Indian filmmakers. 

    Here’s What He Said 
    “The clash between RRR and Maidaan is very unfortunate and at the same time, it is unethical,” Boney Kapoor told Forbes. 
    The Background 
    For the unversed, Maidaan was earlier scheduled to hit the theatres in August this year. 
    However, the completion of the production got delayed due to the nationwide lockdown owing to the COVID-19 global health scare. 
    This forced the filmmakers to move the release date to October 15, coinciding with Dussehra holiday.

    Boney Kapoor refused to let Rajamouli off the hook accusing him of “strong-arm tactics and bullying.” He claimed that the slated box office clash of these films will further add to woes of the film industry, which has already been ravaged by the Covid-19 induced disruption. 

    RRR Cast & Crew 
    Other than Jr NTR and Ram Charan, the ensemble cast of RRR also includes Alia Bhatt, Samuthirakani, Olivia Morris, Alison Doody and Ray Stevenson. 
    If not for the pandemic, RRR would have released in January this year. The film has been in the production since 2018. 
    Which one are you excited to watch on the silver screen?

    Yesterday, we all laughed together at people campaigning to get Twitter banned ON Twitter because, sure, that makes perfect sense. 
    Yes, using a platform to get that same platform banned in your country just because they want to give people freedom of speech is a totally rational thing to happen recently.
    But since there has been so much controversy surrounding Twitter, especially after the company didn't fully comply with the Indian government's order to block multiple accounts, the government has also weighed in on the Twitter debate.

    Ravi Shankar Prasad, currently serving as the Union Electronics and Information Technology Minister, discussed the matter in the Parliament today and talked about the consequences of spreading fake news and inciting violence using social media.

    After sharing the advantages of social media in India, how it has empowered the common man, he also mentioned that the misuse of it will lead to tough action.
    We respect social media a lot, it has empowered common people. Social media has a big role in Digital India programme. However, if social media is misused to spread fake news, violence then action will be taken: Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in Rajya Sabha pic.twitter.com/M2NTIrh1ia
    — ANI (@ANI) February 11, 2021
    Specifically talking about  Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn in the Rajya Sabha, the Union Minister said "you have millions of followers in India, you are free to do business and make money, but you will have to follow the Indian constitution". 
    While what actions would be taken is unclear, both left and right-leaning people have already come up with lists of people spreading 'fake news' on Twitter and want them banned. A lot of people are still continuing with the Ban Twitter hashtag from yesterday. 
    @ndtv ? @thewire_in ? @TheQuint ? @scroll_in ? @zoo_bear ? Etc there are many examples.
    — Indira ka Pappa (@Lehr_you_chacha) February 11, 2021 Isn't Twitter doing exactly that?
    Everyone is on radar, you have been given Freedom of Speech but people are using Freedom of Spoech to abuse Freedom of Speech. That's not right, Twitter has to follow Law of Land.
    — Indira ka Pappa (@Lehr_you_chacha) February 11, 2021 Hmm.
    Kangana tweets are routinely deleted by twitter and even her sister was blocked.

    Koo, India’s alternative to Twitter that is offered in multiple regional languages has been accused of exposing users’ personal data. The apparent problem was discovered by French security researcher Robert Baptiste who revealed his findings on Twitter. According to Baptiste, he spent 30 minutes on Koo at the request of his followers and found the app was exposing sensitive information of its users. Details such as names, gender, email addresses and more were revealed to be left vulnerable by the application. 
    You asked so I did it. I spent 30 min on this new Koo app. The app is leaking of the personal data of his users: email, dob, name, marital status, gender, ... https://t.co/87Et18MrOg pic.twitter.com/qzrXeFBW0L
    — Elliot Alderson (@fs0c131y) February 10, 2021Baptiste shared screenshots on Twitter which shows that it was fairly easy for him to get personal information of Koo users. He said the app leaks personal data of its users with other information such as DOB, marital status and email details. Koo’s domain is also not registered in India but instead in the US with the registrant based in China. 
    © KooApp
    Koo currently is being touted as the alternative to Twitter as the app offers features almost identical to Twitter. Koo’s unique selling point is having support for regional languages which gives it an advantage over Twitter. However, in our usage, the app is not as intuitive to use as basic sections such as ‘Trending’ take a very long time to load. Koo describes itself as an app "built for Indians to share their views in their mother tongue and have meaningful discussions. Discussions are around interesting topics. It empowers people to express their thoughts in Indian languages with a strong-knit local Indian community.”

    If the title made you click on the story, you already are aware of what we are talking about here. Yes, you guessed it right. KANGANA...once again! 
    Actor Nakuul Mehta recently shared a video of iconic actress Meryl Streep, giving a politically charged speech at the 2017 Golden Globe awards. 
    © Reuters
    He joked that the woman in the video wasn't Meryl, but Kangana Ranaut in disguise. (LOL!) 

    His savage jibe for the Queen actress comes after Kangana compared herself to Meryl and set off a flurry of online outrage. 
    Well, sharing the video, which has been going viral on Twitter, Nakuul wrote, "This is NOT Meryl Streep. This is Kangana Ranaut playing Meryl so wonderfully. #RawTalent."

    In her 2017 speech, the three-time Oscar-winner speaks about the changing political landscape. 
    The speech was made weeks after Donald Trump's election as president of the United States. The Devil Wears Prada actor spoke about Hollywood being made up of outsiders and immigrants. 
    Here’s how people on Twitter reacted to the video shared by Nakuul: 
    Hahahahahaha. I spotted a bit of Gal Gadot in that performance. Big giveaway.
    — Mukul Chadda (@mukulchadda) February 10, 2021
    Kangana is like Meryl Streep.
    Varun Dhawan is like Leonardo DeCaprio.

    Here’s how it all started. 
    Kangana, in a tweet earlier this week, had said that she has the 'raw talent' of Meryl Streep and challenged anyone to prove that she was a less skilled actor than her. 
    © Phanton-Films
    Later, she suggested that Meryl, who holds the record for the most number of Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, could never pull off a film like Queen. 

    "Pls prove my claims wrong or illogical, will accept my statements as gloating disorder, if you can’t then you too have to accept, in this world of mediocre hyenas who will do anything to look through genuine talent Modesty is not good not at the cost of HONESTY. Snatch your due," she'd written.

    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) February 9, 2021
    Seemingly in response, actor Richa Chadha shared a checklist for narcissistic personality disorder, and 'signs of a sociopath', without naming anyone. 
    Actor Ishaan Khatter shared a quote by Meryl, which she made in a 2006 address at Princeton University. The quote reads, "My achievement, if you can call it that, is that I've basically pretended to be extraordinary people my entire life, and now I'm being mistaken for one." 
    I am open for debate if anyone can show me more range and brilliance of craft than me by any other actress on this planet I promise to give up my arrogance, until then I can surely afford the luxury of pride #Thalaivi #Dhaakad pic.twitter.com/0RXB1FcM43
    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) February 9, 2021
    Kangana also compared herself to Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, said that she is a better stunt performer than Tom Cruise, and later, drew parallels between herself and Marlon Brando. 
    Well, what are your thoughts on Kangana’s claims? Agree with Nakuul Mehta here? Tell us what you think in the space below.

    — shemu (@shemu_1) February 11, 2021 Tere Naam was released in the year 2003, and the hairstyle that Salman Khan donned in the film got extremely famous and many people copied the same hairstyle in the year 2003.
    Every hairstylist had produced many Sallu Bhai looks from Tere Naam that year. The film was also a blockbuster and did well at the box-office.
    Earlier, an old video of Akhtar got famous and surfaced on social media where he was heard speaking about 'Ghazwa-e-Hind.'
    He said in an interview, “It is written in our scriptures that Ghazwa e Hind will take place. The river in Attock will be colored red twice with blood. Forces from Afghanistan will reach Attock. After that forces will rise from Shamal Mashriq, different contingents will arrive from Uzbekistan, etc. This refers to Khorasan, a historical region which extended till Lahore.”

    India has already topped the list of countries for the suspension of Internet services in 2021, some 40 days into the year. The centre suspended internet access at Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri borders of Delhi along with adjoining areas which propelled India to the top of the list. The Centre or state governments have already suspended internet around 10 times in 2021, making India lead the global tally in the suspension of Internet services. Internet, SMS and other services were suspended for more than 24 hours in at least two instances just this past month.

    Just last month, a recent report said India had restricted internet services more than any other country in the world in 2020. India’s total internet downtime added up to 8,927 hours and resulted in $2.8 billion in losses last year and the story remains somewhat similar in 2021 as well. In fact, India leads the global tally over the past decade. In 2019 and 2020 alone, Internet services remained suspended for more than 13,000 hours with as many as 164 instances of shutdowns.

    High-speed internet was suspended in Jammu and Kashmir for a total of 552 days, the longest instance by an elected government. However, internet services were finally restored last week. In a report by Top10VPN, India’s suspension of the internet in Jammu and Kashmir was called “the longest Internet shutdown in a democracy, the restrictions have negatively impacted the distribution of medicine, businesses and schools.”

    It is worth pointing out that the Indian law does have a provision for suspending the internet. According to the Department of Telecommunications’(DoT) ‘Temporary Suspension of Telecom Services (Public Emergency or Public Safety) Rules, 2017,’ telecom services as well as internet services can be temporarily suspended in an area. The internet can be suspended by an order issued by the Union Home Secretary or the State Home Secretary in an event of public emergency or in the interest of public safety.

    Internet shutdown also has an adverse effect on the economy as the same report by Top10VPN revealed India lost $2.8 billion in revenue due to the Internet shutdown. The researchers used a “Cost of Shutdown Tool” from Netblocks and Internet Society to determine the cost of Internet shutdowns. The tool used the Brookings Institution Method where the cost was calculated by determining a region’s economic output as a proportion of its national GDP. If we do a basic calculation, India lost Rs 2 Crore every hour while the internet was suspended in 2020.

    2020 is going down in history for several reasons and thanks to quarantining in our respective cocoons for over a year, 2021 feels like that annoying cousin who has decided to spend all his vacation days with you, which means you will have to adjust to his whims and fancies and plan life around his existence. So while people have accommodated moving out in masks, taking small vacations with bottles of sanitiser in their hand luggage, one thing that is slowly coming alive after being dead last year is the dating lives of several millions of individuals. So like every year, the boomers and the booming crop of the internet world comes up with some fancy dating terms which explain and describe dating life in fun ways. Here are 10 new terms we are injecting in this year’s dating guide :

    1. Elsa’d – The famous ‘let it go’ song from the wonderful Disney movie Frozen has a real life meaning for the millennial dates this year. This one is just a fancy term for someone who was ghosted, so calling them a Casper is too old school. Let's just say you got Elsa’d bro!
    2. Dial Toning- Pretty much like someone being a deaf tone to your cries of love. This term implies that a pretty human shared their number, and then went MIA as soon as you dialled their number. The only thing you can possibly do now is to stare at their Whatsapp DP, that too if they saved your number as well.
    3. Kanye’d – Probably my favourite celebrity and dating term for 2021. This one literally means someone who has the narcissistic capacity of Kanye and will make you believe they are a demi-god while on a date with you.

    5. Slow Dating- If there is anything that this pandemic has taught us, it is the fact that patience is a virtue that will help us live better till the end of time. As the name suggests, this dating term is all about taking things slow at a snail's pace and actually getting to ‘know’ the person even before you’ve met them for the first time.

    6. Wokefishing- This one is for all my fellow ‘woke’ , avocado toast, almond milk drinking buds. This term implies that a person pretends or God knows, truly is, more ‘woke’ than you are. They will come across as super progressive, believing in aliens, praying to the likes of Elon Musk types and making your question your intellect.
    7. Astrolove- I don’t know the origin, but for boomers and millennials in 2021, I want to thank Sima Aunty from Mumbai for letting us know the importance of ‘stars being aligned’.  This term defines people who want to do their homework on you based on your astrological sign because the signs your personality is giving away are not enough for them. In my opinion , if you tell me “oh I am always late, sorry its just an Aries thing”, I am probably going to smile and say no Karen, you are just weird.  So please see where you want to fit this dating term on your profile.

    10. Eclipsing- You probably would have guessed it by reading the term I guess. This dating term implies that your partner’s hobbies and interests have overshadowed your own and now their personality has eclipsed over you.

    In today's episode of the popular reality TV show, Bigg Boss 14, Jasmin Bhasin will be seen going head-to-head with Rubina Dilaik. 
    Jasmin, who re-entered the show to support Aly Goni, gets into an ugly fight with Rubina again and will be seen arguing with her on Thursday's episode. 
    In the promo video, Rahul Vaidya, Aly, Jaan Kumar Sanu can be seen yelling at Paras Chhabra, "Are tu kya kar raha hai (what are you doing)?" Devoleena is then seen getting angry and saying, "Maine bola tha na uspe bharosa mat karna (I told you not to trust him)." 
    © Colors
    The contestants are then seen putting in their best efforts for the task to get their 'ticket to finale' as a voiceover tells us, "Finale ki ticket pane ke liye gharwale sari hadein karenge paar (the housemates will cross all limits to obtain the ticket to finale)." 

    Aly then tells Paras, "Chaar chaar log ek ko help karenge na? Agar mai out hua, radd nahi hua to mera naam Aly nahi. Koi nahi jaega finale mein (Four people are supporting one! If I am out of the task, I will ensure the task is cancelled. No one will get to the finale)." 
    Nikki says, "Yes," while Rubina Dilaika gets upset. When she tries to say something, Aly yells at her saying four people are helping her and it is unfair. 
    Both get angry and yell at each other to shut up. Jasmin also gets into the fight. ." 
    Watch the promo here: 

    Rubina then tells Jasmin, "Jalan apne paas rakh rakh, you are spilling your unhappiness on Aly as well. (please keep your jealousy to yourself)." 
    Jasmin retorts, "Apko Aly ki chinta karne ki zarorat nahi, apne pati ki karo (you don't need to worry about Aly, be concerned about your husband)." 
    Then, Rubina's sister says she knows what Jasmin has said outside, and Aly yells again. "Everyone formed teams and played the task. I have been alone. But if four people will help one, I am going to spoil the task. Do what you want!" 
    © Colors
    Nikki is later seen telling Rubina that Aly cannot face defeat and he has realised that he may lose in the task. 

    Bigg Boss then asks Paras to announce the name of the winner of the task, and the person who won the ticket to the finale. 
    The much-interesting promo ends before he names the winner. 
    Who do you think has won?
