    When the lockdown was announced, the only routine that lingered on our minds was work, binge-watch content and sleep.

    Yes, everyone hates star kids now and the nepotism debate is the only discourse happening in Bollywood these days, but amidst that, the internet has realized who the most talented star kid is.
    Turns out the hilarious Jamie Lever, daughter of Johnny Lever, is the most deserving of the title. Instead of joining Bollywood and making it as an actress, her strong suit is, of course, comedy. Like father, like daughter, amirite?

    She's a stand-up comedian and her videos are hilarious because of her spot-on impressions of stars, including her dad, and she overall gives off such a positive and wholesome vibe.
    Imitating someone so perfectly isn't an easy thing to do, but just seeing this one video of her can tell us how talented she actually is.

    So accurate, it's uncanny.
    If you close your eyes, you would think that you're actually listening to Farah Khan.

    Since when did we become a country of an over-sensitive, raging and intolerant population that can’t even handle a joke? What happened to taking a few below the belt blows made in pure jest? What happened to dissecting sarcasm with our peers when our brain failed us and enjoying satires with a pinch of salt?
    Are you trying to tell me that nowadays a joke is funny only as long as you crack it or it makes your crush spill a few fake laughs? Have we become so frigid and shallow that we find it okay for people to go around making rape and life threats to another individual because they made the horrible mistake of cracking a joke? 
    And just because one person doesn’t find it funny and decides to take offence, that makes it okay for them to go around abusing and threatening the other with great harm?

    After the entire Agrima Joshua incident which highlighted how fearless people have become when it comes to publicly abusing another person and promising to harm them, now, comedian Rohan Joshi took to Instagram to share that he is going offline because someone decided to leak his personal phone number and house address, and now, he is constantly receiving abuses and life threats which have forced him to go underground in order to ensure the safety of his family and himself.

    I mean, what have we even come to? We cannot even handle a little criticism coming our way? We can’t stand dissent any more? We can’t handle two varying views any more? And above all, we have given up on our sensibilities and human morals in the name of so-called political-religious campaigns?

    I’m sorry, but if you are going to play the ‘free country’ card in the name of abuse and lawlessness, then you need to remember that this free country and free speech is just as much someone else’s as it is yours. And before you decide to go around threatening people with death and assault, you must remember you are not above the law.

    Unfortunately, comedians like Agrima Joshua and Rohan Joshi aren’t the only ones to have been subjected to public outrage and threats over their jokes. Previously, comedians like Sorabh Pant have spoken up about receiving death threats in person and over social media, because of their takes on some personality or religion or even the society at large. 

    When comedian Kunal Kamra decided to voice his opinion about the government and its version of patriotism the only way he knows how (i.e. through jokes), it almost cost him his life. 
    These are just a few incidents, but for many comics out there this has been a part of their life for much longer than they let on.

    In the light of recent events, comedian Gaurav Kapoor also questioned people’s conscience and made an emotional appeal to his viewers to be a little considerate of their words and actions towards comedians who are just trying to make people laugh, and share a new perspective about things.

    In the light of recent events, Comedian and actor Vir Das also took to Twitter to share a ‘pre-apology’ because, obviously, he knows he too would be attacked anytime now and so, to save himself and his loved ones from any sort of emotional or physical harm that may be hurled their way in the future Das decided to apologise in advance. 
    #SabkosorryOkBye I have decided to start pre-apologising for my jokes in the wake of what's happening to Indian comedians. Here's my apology video. Should anyone ever need an apology from me in the future, please refer to this video pic.twitter.com/DwoB7IqpMx

    This growing sense of hopelessness and fear that is being fed to comedians and dissenters at large, is a reminder that goons and abusers are enjoying a free hand and exploiting the law in the name of safeguarding certain ideologies and self-serving propagandas.
    © Twitter/Swara Bhaskar
    To call any of it as just 'trolling' isn’t even acceptable anymore because none of this is a passing incident in the life of a public figure/comedian. 

    This kind of harassment involving a real threat to life and safety is a glimpse into a future where threat culture not only survives, but also thrives because bystanders were too scared to speak up and call out the culprits. Culprits who have no fear of the law or being penalised but instead, find strength in the belief that they will get away with murder and rape because.
    It’s high time we identify, deter and shun culprits like Shubham Mishra, who think it is okay to do whatever they please without fearing the consequences. 
    Show these abusers their place and fight back against these faceless monsters before we normalise virtual lynchings just like the actual ones.

    When a Bollywood movie is made, there's so much that goes into it, before it hits the big screen. Besides the riveting script, detailed setup and appropriate costumes of celebrities, there's a lot of trivia that we never get to know. If you are a movie buff but have missed out on these interesting facts about some of your favourite movies, here's a list.
    1. Lagaan © Aamir Khan Productions
    Lagaan was one of the highest-grossing movies of 2001. In this movie, the village commoners agreed to play one hell of a cricket match with the Britishers, in a bid to waive off the unjust taxes. The cast naturally needed international faces and so this film recorded the highest number of British actors in it. Besides that, another trivia is that the first-ever cut of the movie was about 7.5 hours long.

    2. Kal Ho Naa Ho  © Dharma Productions
    We all know how Kal Ho Naa Ho had a tragic ending, but watching such a heart-wrenching scene wouldn't be as easy for SRK's kids and as per reports, Karan Johar made a special edit to the ending of Kal Ho Naa Ho for the sake of the kids, and the scene shows Aman flying away. Well, we totally believe it!

    3. Dil Chahta Hai  © Excel Entertainment
    A cult classic, Dil Chahta Hai went on to become a blockbuster with a story that revolves around three close friends. Director Farhan Akhtar struck a deep chord with the audiences, due to an amazing story. However, a lesser-known fact is that the original script was written in English by Farhan Akhtar, and was later painstakingly re-written in Hindi.

    4. Koi Mil Gaya  © Film Kraft
    The first instalment of Krrish, Koi Mil Gaya garnered rave reviews for its interesting storyline. In this movie, the ending shows that Jaadu leaves Rohit, with all the superpowers intact. But in reality, the movie had an alternate ending, where all the powers are taken away from Rohit. But since Rakesh Roshan wanted the audience to get good vibes only,  the climax was changed and the rest, as they say, is history.

    5. Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai © Film Kraft
    The Greek God of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan's debut in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai is unforgettable. This movie became a massive hit, to an extent that it was added to the Guinness Book Of World Records, as it received a plethora of awards and the lucky number was 92! There's also another trivia that the glasses he wore in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai were the same as he wore in Koi Mil Gaya.

    6. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara © Excel Entertainment
    Because ZNMD had most of the scenes shot in Spain, there was a tourism hike of Indian tourists travelling there by 32%, post the release of this movie. That's the power of Bollywood movies!

    7. Rockstar © Eros International
    Imitiaz Ali's very successful movie, Rockstar, also had some interesting elements. It is said that the movie was shot in reverse and the first shot was the climax of the movie because the filmmakers wanted to ensure that Ranbir's hairstyle does not get messed up while shooting.

    8. Rang De Basanti  © YouTube/Indian Cinema
    Talking about a spooky fact in Rang De Basanti, there's a scene where Sue looks at a watch and the time shown is 7:30 PM and it's the same time when legendary Bhagat Singh was sentenced to death in real life, and in the movie too.

    For all those who have loved Vidya Balan in movies like Kahaani and Tumhari Sulu, she is back to conquer our hearts with her upcoming movie which is a biopic on mathematical genius Shakuntala Devi. 
    Originally slated to release in theatres in May, Shakuntala Devi will now be releasing on July 31 on Amazon Prime. The makers have released the motion poster and announced that the trailer will be releasing tomorrow for which we are surely excited. 
    Get ready to meet the genius! Trailer out tomorrow. Meet #ShakuntalaDeviOnPrime July 31, on @PrimeVideoIN. @sanyamalhotra07 @Jisshusengupta @TheAmitSadh @anumenon1805 @sonypicsprodns @vikramix @Abundantia_Ent @ShikhaaSharma03 pic.twitter.com/7f8uUuSRAc

    Shakuntala Devi, the mathematical wizard, was known for her ability to make incredibly swift calculations. We have already told you about Shakuntala Devi and now, we will tell you what we all know about the movie:
    1. An Account Of A Woman Who Changed Her Story Because Of Her Ambition
    According to Amazon Prime, it will be a movie that will capture the fearlessness of Shakuntala Devi as she was outspoken and never shied in putting her opinions whenever needed. Vidya Balan’s portrayal will focus on this aspect of Shakuntala’s nature which will be interesting to see as the actor is too bold when it comes to sharing her opinions. In an interview with IANS, Vidya said, “I am extremely excited to play the ‘human computer’ Shakuntala Devi on the big screen. She was truly someone who embraced her individuality, had a strong feminist voice, and braved many a naysayer to reach the pinnacle of success.”

    2. Vidya Balan’s Enigmatic Charm

    Vidya Balan will add her own personal touch to the character of Shakuntala Devi to make it look relatable. We have loved Vidya for her simplicity and honesty she puts in her characters and this wouldn’t be different either.
    3. People Will Get To Learn A Few Tricks Of Mathematics
    If you are someone who loves the subject of Maths, you are in for a ride as the movie will give you some valuable knowledge about how to deal with complex numbers. 
    Experience the story of an extraordinary mind! #ShakuntalaDeviOnPrime premieres July 31, on @PrimeVideoIN @sanyamalhotra07 @TheAmitSadh @jisshusengupta @anumenon1805@sonypicsprodns @vikramix @Abundantia_Ent@ShikhaaSharma03 pic.twitter.com/kdi6os0gop

    4. Personal Life Of Shakuntala Devi
    The movie will showcase Shakuntala Devi’s life as a mother and her relationship with her daughter. It will be an emotionally charged film as the movie will show how Shakuntala Devi’s achievements impacted her relationship with her daughter so it will be a very different take to the story of a woman who we know as the Mathematical Genius.
    5. Women Power
    Not just Vidya Balan, we will get to see Sanya Malhotra from Dangal as Shankuntala's daughter Anupama Banerji. It will also be interesting to see how the men (Amit Sadh and Jisshu Sengupta) in the movie will fit into the narrative of powerful women.
