    Bollywood films are extremely popular in the country and hold a major power of influence at the same time. They're known to influence the audience not just in terms of trends but also mannerisms the people see in the films. 

    Naturally, films also have a huge potential for advertising in them that brands take advantage of. But brand placements that do not make any sense do come across as weird and hilarious at the same time.
    Here are a few films that went overboard with brand advertisements
    1. Mountain Dew In Mission Istaanbul © IMDB
    A product that the actors in the film constantly drank throughout the film and we wondered whether they were all addicted to Mountain Dew.

    2. Saffolla In Ki and Ka © IMDB
    When Arjun Kapoor cooks in the kitchen, he uses the brand to cook the food in the house. Some believe that this was a smart product placement.

    3. Mountain Dew In Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara © IMDB
    Hrithik Roshan has had a long-standing association with Mountain Dew. Even in the film ZNMD, he promoted the brand by using its tagline and drinking it whenever he could. A cheeky reference to the brand is seen when he says, âDarr Ke Aage Jeet Haiâ to his friends before they all go for sky diving. 

    4. Maruti In Mere Dad Ki Maruti © IMDB
    For a film with a title that has a huge potential, brand collaboration seemed like the most obvious step. But this was one of the most blatant brand collaborations seen.

    5. Bournvita In Koi Mil Gaya And Krrish © IMDB
    For the film Koi Mil Gaya and its sequel, there was a brand collaboration with the kid's energy milk booster Bournvita. The collaboration was so blatant that it was hilarious when Hrithik drank Bournvita milk.

    6. Tide In Chup Chup Ke © IMDB
    Chup Chup Ke too has done a collaboration with Tide detergent powder in a scene in which it blended so well, it looked like seamless product placement in a film for once. But we have to agree that it did come across as a tad bit hilarious.

    7. Bikaji Bhujia In Veere Di Wedding © IMDB
    In the film, everyone seems to be munching on bhujia almost all the time. In fact, this is the most bhujia we've seen being consumed in a film. From Sonam Kapoor and Neena Gupta's character to the guests, everyone is obsessed with bhujia. While Veere Di Wedding also had other brand collaborations, this one particularly stood out.

    The ones standing guard at our borders, protecting our skies and waters from the enemiesâ evil intents deserve more than the social media uproars and RIPs which follow every time our brave soldiers are killed in action at the line of duty.
    Over the years, there have been thousands and thousands of Indian soldiers who have fought hard and fought fearlessly at the face of death, to protect their motherland even at the cost of their own life. They thwarted every attempt of the enemy to harm our people, and became the face of courage and hope when the enemies wanted to crush our spirit using fear and hate.
    © Dharma Productions
    Their lives, their battles as well as their scars and supreme sacrifices deserve more than a frontpage newspaper coverage. These selfless Indian soldiersâ deeds need to be remembered, their daredevilry immortalised and their lives be made a part of pop-culture for the young and old to take pride in and draw inspiration from.

    The upcoming release of Shershaah, a biopic based on Kargil war hero Captain Vikram Batra, starring Sidharth Malhotra as the late Army Captain is one such attempt. Captain Batraâs valor and resilience gave the Indian Army the greatest upper hand in winning the Kargil War in 1999 by enabling the capture of the crucial peak Pt 4875.

    We believe that just like Captain Vikram Batra these 4 Indian soldiers also deserve their own biopics for their show of courage and sacrifice.
    1. Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan © Wikipedia
    There is no way for anyone who has witnessed the 26/11 Mumbai attacks to forget this name. Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan was an NSG commando who was the team commander of 51 Special Action Group (51 SAG) responsible for rescue operation of hostages who were held at Mumbaiâs Taj Mahal Palace Hotel by Pakistani terrorists.

    On the fateful day, Major Unnikrishnan displayed extreme selflessness when he brought his wounded colleague to safety and chased after the enemy. He launched himself into a face-off with the terrorists and was shot from the back while he was engaged in a firefight. Even at the face of death, Major Unnikrishnan kept fighting and uttered his last order to the commandos, "Do not come up, I will handle them." 
    2. Major General Ian Cardozo © Rediff
    One of the unforgettable names associated with the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, Major General Ian Cardozoâs name goes down in history for his show of immense courage in the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war. Then an army Major with the 5 Gorkha Rifles, he was asked to replace the second-in-command of his battalion who had been killed in action.

    Towards the end of the war, Cardozo made the mistake of stepping on a landmine and injured his leg badly. Given the state of his injury, it required immediate medical attention, but with no doctor or sedative in sight, Major General Cardozo cut off his injured leg using his own khurki.
    He was later operated on by a captured Pakistani army soldier and eventually got a wooden leg. Yet, this setback couldnât deter his spirit as he went on to attain such a high state of fitness, even able-bodied soldiers conceded defeat before him. He went on to serve in the Army for another 22 years after the 1971 war.
    3. Subedar Joginder Singh © Wikipedia
    A Param Veer Chakra awardee (posthumously) Subedar Joginder Singh was an army officer from the 1st Battalion of the Sikh Regiment who had joined the British Indian Army in 1963. 

    Subedar Singh is remembered for his gallantry and leadership during the 1962 Indo-China War where he was commanding a platoon in the North-East Frontier Tracts. 
    During the war, as the Chinese troops advanced towards Tawang, they were intercepted by Sudedar Singhâs platoon of 20 men at the Bum La Pass. Though heavily outnumbered, he led his troop against the Chineseâs attack in three waves, each comprising 200 men. While they managed to defend the post for the first two times, due to lack of men and ammunition, Subedar Singh and his remaining men were forced to fight with bayonets until they were finally overpowered and taken captive.
    Despite a gunshot wound on his thigh, Subedar Singh managed to kill many Chinese soldiers with his bayonet before getting captured. Even under captivity he refused treatment and later succumbed to his injuries.
    4. Captain Anuj Nayyar © Twitter Vikas Manhas
    Army officer Captain Anuj Nayyar was part of the 17 Jat who was posthumously awarded the Maha Vir Chakra for his bravado during Operation Vijay in the 1999 Kargil War. During the Kargil War Captain Nayyar's first major operation was to secure a strategic peak within the Pimple Complex located in the Mushkoh Valley.

    Being a strategic location, securing the peak was a top priority. However, given its extreme slopes and height, an aerial intervention was required. But given the sensitivity of the operation, C Coy, 17 Jat, of which Nayyar was the second-in-command, decided to secure the peak without waiting for any aerial support.
    During the initial phase the C Coy company commander was injured, and command fell upon Captain Nayyar. Having identified the location of 3-4 enemy bunkers, Captain Nayyar went with the lead section and destroyed three bunkers and killed 9 Pakistani soldiers. However, while clearing the fourth bunker an enemy RPG directly hit Captain Nayyar and he was killed. The securing of the Pimple Complex helped recapture Tiger Hill which eventually forced the Pakistani troops to retreat back across the Line of Control.
    These bravehearts definitely deserve their own biopics, donât you agree? Which other Indian soldier deserves a biopic according to you?

    The Indian Army wants its personnel to refrain from social media apps for any kind of official or personal communication.
    On Wednesday, citing security reasons, the Indian Army asked its personnel to delete their accounts from 89 social media apps by July 15 or face action. The range of apps that are restricted now for them include social media accounts, e-commerce and dating sites among other commonly used apps. 
    Some of these apps are Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, songs.pk, WeChat, Hike, Likee, Shareit, True Caller, PUBG, Tinder, according to a news report.
    This substantial move has come amid a two-front cyberwar with China and Pakistan as the Indian Army takes into account an "exponential increase" in the number of cases being targeted by their intelligence agencies. 
    Amid the weeks of tensions between India and China following the worst border skirmish in more than five decades, New Delhi is being watchful on all fronts possible. The "all-weather" friends have been trying to trouble India at the LOC and LAC.
    Even last year, the Indian Army stated in its advisory that the popular social media platform Facebook has turned out to be a crucial source of collecting intelligence, which is why officers holding critical posts in the army must consider deactivating their accounts.
    Here we have listed out in detail the number of banned apps for the Indian Army personnel under 17 different categories. Take a look:

    Pornography has been a part of our lives for a really long time now. Before the rise of the internet, porn was created and made available to masses via magazines or VHS cassettes or DVDs.
    But with the growing popularity and easier access to the online world, accessing porn sites is just a click away. The pace at which technology is growing has also made it more immersive than ever, especially with the dawn of Virtual Reality.

    The decision to watch porn boils down to a personâs personal choice. 

    However, is it harmful to your health and wellness? According to a 2014 research by the Max Planck Institute in Berlin, the part of the brain which is responsible for triggering pleasure, that is, the striatum, is smaller in those who are regular porn-viewers. This essentially means that they need graphic material to get aroused.
    It is important to mention, however, that the researchers could not come up with a conclusion on whether the smaller striatum of the test subjects led them to watch more porn or was caused because they watched so much of it. They âassumedâ that the latter is true.
    © iStock
    These 7 alarming signs suggest that you might be getting addicted to pornography:If the amount of time you have been spending on watching porn continues to increase on a regular basis.
    If you feel that you HAVE TO watch porn at least once a day or else something feels missing or your day feels incomplete. 
    If the guilt of watching porn takes over your brain and you continue to do it despite feeling low.
    © iStock
    If you spend long periods of time surfing through the internet even at the cost of missing out on other responsibilities or urgent work.

    If you donât feel aroused by real *** and prefer masturbation over it while watching porn.
    © iStock
    If you expect or start asking your partner to âdress like a pornstarâ or behave like one while in bed, during ***.

    You canât get over the urge to flip out your phone and watch porn even if you know that it is disputing your relationship both sexually and emotionally.
    © iStock
    You have to understand that what you watch online isnât real. The people you see âenactingâ sexual pleasure are professional performers who are simply doing their job. The viewers often mistake that as reality and start expecting similar things in their lives and when it feels nothing like what they see online, sometimes they choose to lose themselves in the virtual world. 

    Just keep a check on yourself and if you relate to any of the above mentioned points, act on it for the sake of your happiness and that of the people around you.

    From calling a rescue operator a “pedo guy” on Twitter, to smoking weed during one of the most-watched podcasts, and naming his child a seemingly random combination of characters, Elon Musk surely knows how to stay in the news. However, if there is one celebrity billionaire who is actually, at the face of it, seemingly working for the betterment of human lives, it is Elon Musk.
    © Reuters
    We have come to recognise him as that eccentric billionaire who has successfully privatised space travel and is making us rethink cars and personal automobiles, thanks to Tesla. Some of us, who have followed the man know him since his days at X.com or what came to be known as PayPal. What most of us don't know, is how he came to be the billionaire that he is.
    © Reuters
    Well, technically, we know how he earned his billions; what most of us don't know, is how exactly he earned his first billion dollars, the milestone that is the hardest to crack into. The thing is, once you have your first billion, it becomes relatively easy to expand your fortune - most billionaires have said so in a number of interviews. What one really needs to be careful about, is how they invest their money, and that they do not squander it away on pointless things. So how did Elon Musk manage to do it? Making the first billion for him was indeed difficult, as compared to the rest of his $54 Billion.
    © Reuters
    1. Starting Out With Odd Jobs © Reddit/r/muskclan
    Musk got his first paycheck for $500 when at the age of 10, he developed a computer game. When as a teen, he moved to Canada from South Africa, is where he really started working. 
    Before enrolling in college education, he worked as a lumberjack and would cut trees for a lumber company. During this time, he would also work a number of odd and hazardous jobs that would be paying high, like cleaning out the rooms where the logs were disinfected and cleaned, just because no one was willing to do it. Imagine a guy with degrees in Economics and Physics doing such odd jobs, today.
    2. Establishing His First Company © Reddit/r/muskclan
    Borrowing some money from his dad, Elon and his brother Kimbal, during the Dot Com boom, started a company called Zip2, a company that provided real-time maps to media outlets. This was one of the first rudimentary GPS systems that was easily accessible for the common public. 
    This company was bought by Compaq for about $310 Million, of which, musk got about $22 Million. The brothers went on to open up X.com the world's first digital payment and online bank that allowed international transactions. X.com bought a software security company called Confinity, the real founders of PayPal. Soon, the venture was renamed as PayPal.
    3. Selling PayPal © Reddit/r/muskclan
    Contrary to popular belief, Elon Musk did not become a billionaire when e-Bay bought PayPal. All Musk earned from that venture was $180 Million. E-Bay made that acquisition for $1.5 Billion, but because there were a lot of investors, and partners in X.com, Elon got just over 10-12 per cent of the deal.
    4. Establishing SpaceX © Reuters
    With the proceeds he got from the sale of PayPal, Musk started his 3rd company, SpaceX or Space Exploration Technologies. Within 6 years, it was regularly getting contracts from NASA to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. During this time, NASA also outsourced the development of some major projects to SpaceX. This is the business venture that vastly contributed to Musk's personal wealth.
    5. Establishing Tesla Incorporated © Reuters
    Musk was always interested in the physics of energy, and had even gotten into Stanford University's doctoral program before he started his first company. After establishing SpaceX, Musk founded Tesla. Although we know Tesla today as one of the most valuable automobile companies in the world, automotive is just one of the many aspects of the company. 
    There was a time when a majority of the company's cash flow came from providing plans and components for solar power plants and high volume electricity storages that were sustainable in nature. It was Tesla's energy division, which was earlier called SolarCity before it was acquired by him, that really earned Musk his first Billion. 
    © Reuters
    Tesla won a number of government contracts, especially outside the USA regarding his energy storage solutions. We're talking about massive storage systems, ones that could power entire cities for days without end.
    From here on out, Musk went completely bonkers - he founded The Boring Company, which shares, invested more into his Hyperloop project, and invested in his AI company.

Using the time at hand productively, many celebrities have taken to the fitness path and shed those extra pounds during this time period. The latest to join the league is Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa.  Of late, Randhawa has been flaunting his all-new, perfectly toned body on his social media account. His latest few photos have him shirtless and showing off his well-cut physique. Well, those pictures are sure enough to inspire the lazy bums in us!

We sang songs that we usually sing for our shows and earned as well."

    The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) in a written request has asked the Union Minister for Electronics, Information Technology and Communication, Ravi Shankar Prasad, to prevent Huawei and ZTE from participating in 5G rollout in India. The letter cites concerns for national security and other crimes the two companies have been accused of, such as spying, conspiracy, money laundering, bank and wire fraud. 
    © Reuters
    "We are sure that our above request will be considered by you and necessary decision will be taken to protect not only the security of the country but also the privacy of the people of India through data and as such both Huawei and ZTE Corporation will not be allowed to participate in 5G network rollout in India," CAIT said in the letter to Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
    The United Kingdom has already started working on proposals to prevent the installation of new Huawei equipment in the next six months and phase out any of the already existing hardware. Huawei and other Chinese companies have already been banned from doing business with U.S. companies and U.S. intelligence officials cited Huaweiâs close ties with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and its military. ZTE, along with Huawei, has been classified as a âthreat to national securityâ by the Federal Communications Commission.
    India has been on the offensive this past week and has already banned 59 apps in the country that were found storing data outside of the country. Apps like TikTok, WeChat, CamScanner and others were banned by the Indian Government last week. 
    © Reuters
    US has been accusing Huawei, saying their equipment could be used by China for spying on individuals, corporation and government agencies. The company has also been accused of facilitating intellectual property theft and cyber espionage that has been integrated into their equipment. If true, Huaweiâs equipment could give China an advantage for cyber-warfare thanks to all the data and sensitive information the company could be collecting. 

    Do you agree with CAITâs request for banning Huaweiâs 5G equipment in India? Let us know in the comments what you think about CAITâs request.

    R Madhavan is a guy nobody can hate, really. The kind of films he has done, the kind of roles he plays and just the overall stand up guy he is, people canât help but shower him with all their love. 
    The Jamshedpur-born however managed to create a name for himself in the fitness industry as well when he went through an unbelievable body transformation for his role as Adi Tomar in Saala Khadoos (2016).

    The story was essentially about a former boxer who gave up on his career falling prey to politics in his field and eventually going on to coach another athlete and live his dreams through her success. 
    Obviously, the man had to look the part, which meant some serious lifestyle changes including following a strict eating cycle and a regulated workout routine. 
    Hereâs How R Madhavanâs Body Transformation Took Place:
    Changes In Diet Or Eating Cycle:
    In one of the press conferences at the time of the filmâs launch, Madhavan, who is a pure vegetarian, said that he didnât make any changes in his diet. He also said that he didnât take any extra supplements during his transformation. 
    All he did was make sure that heâd not eat anything after 6 PM and go to bed by 10 every single night. He has also mentioned having at least a five-and-a-half hour long break between meals to give his body an opportunity to digest the food properly.
    © Universal Motion Pictures
    Having said that, he did make very minor changes to his eating habits like not overindulging in foods like dahi chawal (curd rice) and puri bhaji. 

    Training: © Universal Motion Pictures
    Madhavan credits his transformation to Alexander Cortes, a personal body trainer. He also went to the United States of America for the training not because he felt the quality of training was better there but because he wanted to put himself in a mental state of being prepared for the long journey, something that he felt he would not have been able to do while at home.

    Madhavan also took up boxing to kickstart his workout. Boxing in itself is one of the most effective yet underrated exercises and can be more demanding than it looks. âI realized that if you have to do boxing for even 40 seconds, how much preparation â strength, stamina and energy â you need,â Madhavan said himself in an interview with The Indian Express.
    © Universal Motion Pictures
    Not in a hurry to see hollow and mere âcosmeticâ results, Madhavan wanted to do it the right way. He focused on having a stronger core and the aesthetics came as a bonus for him.

    By the end of his transformation, not only did he look bigger, his muscle mass became so much that he was giving the bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger a run for his money in terms of size.
    © Universal Motion Pictures
    "Let me just say that Arnold Schwarzenegger had 20-inch biceps when he did his first film, and when I did Saala Khadoos, being a vegetarian I managed 18 and half inches,â said Madhavan.

    While people normally talk about how plant-based supplements can take care of a vegetarianâs intake of protein and other macronutrients which are required to make such a body transformation, the fact that Madhavan refrained from taking those and still being able to look this massive, is incredible in itself.

    As everything is falling apart due to the pandemic, Bigg Boss fans must have assumed that there wonât be a season 14 this year. But thatâs not true! 

    The show is most likely to air by the end of October this time and we are already excited. 
    Last season, it was reported that Salman Khan was charging a whopping amount of Rs.13 crores per week to host the show. Also, due to the extension, he was getting an extra 2 crore per episode which made him take home around Rs. 200 crores for the entire season. 
    We wonder how much will Sallu Bhai charge this season as he will be shooting amid a pandemic. 
    So, hereâs all we know about Bigg Boss 14 and what all changes can we expect from the show - 
    The Host Of The Show  © Viacom 18
    Salman Khan will be returning to host Bigg Boss 14 as well. But, he will be charging an even bigger remuneration this year. According to reports he will charge around Rs 16 crores this year per week. 

    After all, who can be a better host than Sallu Bhai for Bigg Boss? No one! 
    Safety Norms Amid Pandemic  © Viacom 18
    Now, there has been chatter whether or not it will be safe to keep so many contestants in the house together. But, it is being said that all the contestants will undergo a COVID-19 test before entering the house. 

    Not only this, all the contestants will also have to follow the social distancing norms in the BB house. 
    Contestants  © Viacom 18
    According to a report by Mid-Day, the makers of the show have already shortlisted 30 contestants for the show through the online audition process. This time there will be around thirteen celebrities and three commoners.

    Expected Celebrities In The House © Viacom 18
    We might get to see Karan Kundra, TV star Alisha Panwar, Paras Chhabraâs ex-girlfriend Akanksha Puri, MTV Roadies 8 winner Anchal Khurana, MTV Spiltsvillaâs contestant Aarushi Dutta, Naagin 4 actress Jasmin Bhasin and Mansi Srivastava. 

    However, Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain star Shubhangi Atre was also approached for the show but she denied it due to her prior commitments for the existing shows that she is doing. 
    House Theme © Viacom 18
    It is also said that this yearâs theme for the house is âjungleâ. And weâll only get to see it once the show is aired on national television. 

    The show will take place in the film city and Salman Khan will commute from his Bandra house to shoot for the weekend episodes. 
    We are already excited about the upcoming season, are you? Let us know in the comments section below.

    We're only six months into the year, but 2020 has already been quite an eventful year. From a possible World War 3 to a full-blown pandemic, we've seen it all. While we're still struggling to get out of a pandemic, it looks like there's already a new disease coming out of China.
    According to a new report, a city in Northern China sounded an alert after a suspected case of bubonic plague was reported. A level 3 warning of plague prevention and control came out of Bayannur, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The suspected case was reported by a hospital in Bayannur.
    © Reuters
    The warning period will apparently continue until the end of 2020. The local health authority has confirmed the case and said there's a risk of a human plague epidemic spreading in the city. This, by the way, wasn't the first suspected case of this newly reported plague.

    Earlier this month, two other adults were found to be affected. They both are brothers and they're being tested at two separate hospitals. The brother reportedly ate marmot meat. Marmot, for those of you who don't know, is a type of rodent.
    A total of 146 people, who they've been in contact with, have been isolated and are being treated at local hospitals. Bubonic plague is a bacterial disease that is spread by flies living on wild rodents such as marmots. It can kill an adult in less than 24 hours if not treated in time.
    Last year, a couple died in the western Mongolian province of Bayan-Ulgii after eating raw marmot meat. The researchers are now concerned about further mutation so that they can transfer from person to person. That's probably the worst thing that can happen while we're already battling a full-blown pandemic.
    People are obviously not happy about this whole situation that we're in. Here are some Twitter responses to this news about the new disease.
    No! I beg for mercy. I canât cope with any more such news... https://t.co/3CtrIrAVII

    In a rather disturbing development, an animal rights activist and her team were allegedly assaulted by a group of locals in Delhiâs Rani Bagh area, for trying to sterilise the local stray dogs.

    33-year-old Ayesha Christina Benn, who is the founder of NGO âNeighbourhood Woofâ, posted a video on the internet narrating the incident of the attack, which went viral on social media.

    âThere were some unfriendly dogs and we were about to catch the last one when a father-son duo came and started questioning one of my team members very rudely. He just told them that they can speak to me instead,â she said.
    The duo then allegedly started yelling at the team and even abused them, questioning their work and saying, âwe can even steal their children like thisâ.
    The issue then escalated when the locals allegedly blocked her car and vandalised the windows and windshields to pull the team out of the vehicle. âWe ran for our lives, else they would have either killed us or at least thrashed us brutally,â Christina said.
    -Ayesha Christina with 3 more was beaten by mob in Rani Bagh, while they were rescuing dogs.
    -They somehow reached to Adarsh Nagar Police station with their broken car to save their lives.

    A bleeding Christina, who appeared to have suffered multiple cuts on her face, did a Facebook Live from the Azadpur Police Station, where she claimed that her complaint was not being registered by the senior police officials. However, on Saturday, she lodged her complaint at the Rani Bagh police station.
    People on Twitter reacted to her viral video in droves and are now demanding the accused be identified and brought to justice.
    This is so disturbing.

    From being portrayed as perennial macho men with a penchant for saving damsels to showing their vulnerable side and being open to emotions, Bollywood's portrayal of male characters has sure come a long way.  
    Back in the early 80s, men were shown as larger-than-life characters with the focus mostly on this burning rage that they carried within them all the time. The concepts of 'ladke rote nahi hai' and 'mard ko dard nahi hota' were pretty much a constant back in the day for Indian cinema but now, things have changed drastically as male characters are challenging stereotypes.
    Here are 7 brilliant male characters that we have seen in Bollywood movies, who opened the dialogue around the notion that men are not just about being 'strong', 'tough', 'angry' and 'manly':  
    1. Shahid Kapoor As Aditya Kashyap - Jab We Met  © T-Series
    Aditya Kashyap in Jab We Met is a very beautifully written character and anyone who has seen the movie can attest to that. 

    Here we have a man who wants to create a safe environment for a woman, a complete stranger, who's travelling with him. He is humble, poised, and someone who thinks about others before himself. He makes sure that Geet is comfortable in the journey with him, showing the audience that men can be trusted and are not just mere stalkers, whose goal is to simply chase down the woman, irrespective of her wishes.
    "Haan, main tujhe bahut pasand karta hoon par woh mera problem hai. Tujhe tension lene ki koi zaroorat nahin. (Yes, I love you but thatâs my problem. You don't have to worry about it)," this dialogue by him just goes on to show the depths of his personality. 
      
    2. Vikrant Massey As Amol - Chhapaak © FoxStarHindi
    When you fall for someone, one of the first things to strike is looks and beauty. But, Amol in Chhapaak is here to show you a different side of men who believe that love is not just about falling for looks alone and that the person on the inside also matters. 

    Amol falls for Malti's courage, ethics, and how she deals with all her sorrows. That in itself is what makes her beautiful to him, even though her face was left disfigured from the acid attack.
      
    3. Shah Rukh Khan As Kabir Khan - Chak De! India  © YRF
    Kabir Khan is one of the very few male characters, who is a feminist, that we have seen on the big screen. He coaches a team of female national hockey players and does not go easy on them just because they are women, as it should be. 

    Khan sees them as hockey players, not as women, making it clear right from the start that gender does not matter to him when it comes to doing his job. 
    However, he is also someone who does not hold back from reminding the girls from time to time how strong they are as women. True feminism.
      
    4. Manav Kaul As Ashok Dube- Tumhari Sullu  © T-Series
    Ashok Dube, another well-crafted character, shows how a man, in a household, is capable of making drastic changes to his life and give the reins over to his better half, if need be.

    His wife takes on a job of being an RJ at night who hosts a live show and talks to people, especially men, who get addicted to her voice. She slowly starts earning way more than Ashok and this, somehow, affects him. But he does not let himself be consumed by the negative feelings and becomes supportive of his wife and her venture. 
    Well, this is a beautiful transition of roles that we should celebrate.
      
    5. Ayushmann Khurrana As Kartik Singh - Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan © T-Series
    A lot has already been talked about this particular project on how it challenged the stereotypes surrounding the LGBTQ community in our country. 

    Kartik is a character who is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the portrayal of gay men in Bollywood. He shows how being gay does not necessarily make one 'girly' or 'feminine', something a lot of people still think to this day, and that they are regular people who just want what other couples want- acceptance and acknowledgement. 
      
    6. Arjun Kapoor As Kabir Kamlesh Bansal - Ki And Ka © Eros Now
    When the movie released in 2016, people couldn't stop raving about Arjun's progressive character, a man who aspires to be a house husband.

    For years, we have seen movies with women taking command of the kitchen and running the house, but here we have Kabir who has no qualms in doing the household chores and letting his wife earn.
      
    7. Amitabh Bachchan As Bhashkor Banerjee - Piku © Sony Entertainment Pictures
    Our dads may sure be liberal but we cannot, in no way, indulge in a conversation about our virginity with them. And then there is Bhashkor, who is changing that notion as he doesn't shy away in accepting, publically, that his daughter Piku is sexually active and he has no issues with that. 

      
    These characters make us want to celebrate men in a very different way and we are glad that Bollywood is evolving towards a progressive direction through these brilliant characters.

    It's been days since you left us, Sushant and I still find it hard to come to terms with your loss. I still go numb thinking that I won't ever meet you or converse with you over a call phone call or through text messages. And this month, all your fans and admirers will have to bid you a final farewell with your last outing, Dil Bechara. 
    The film is the adaptation of the famous John Green novel, The Fault in Our Stars, and will be releasing on Disney+Hotstar on July 24, 2020. 
    Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to announce that trailer would be releasing tomorrow along with a new poster, saying, "TRAILER DROPS TOMORROW... New poster of #DilBechara... Stars #SushantSinghRajput... Costars #SanjanaSanghi and #SaifAliKhan in a special role... Directed by Mukesh Chhabra... Will premiere on #DisneyPlusHotstar on 24 July 2020."

    â taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) July 5, 2020
    While we watch the trailer tomorrow, there is bound to be a flurry of varied emotions that we all sense as it's Sushant's very last movie:
    1. AnticipationThe trailer would surely give us a hint of what we can expect from the movie but more than anything, there will be a sense of anticipation as to how Sushant would have added his trademark charm to the character and make it his own. 
    While the trailer would give us only a few glimpses of the actor, it will be more than exciting to him in the movie in all his glory. As we all know that Sushant used to give his 100% to all his characters, this, too, is bound to be a masterpiece from him.

    2. HappinessThe film was in the pipelines for a long time and it was slated for a theatre release, however, it got a direct digital release owing to the Coronavirus pandemic. 
    There is bound to be a sense of complete happiness among fans as they will get to see their beloved star all hale and hearty in the movie.

    3. HeartbreakAs we all know that this will be Sushant's last piece of work, there will be a sense of abject sadness and heartbreak. It also does not help that the plot of the movie is gut-wrenching in itself.
    A fresh love storyâs got to have a fresh title! #KizieAurManny is now #DilBechara @foxstarhindi @CastingChhabra @itsSSR pic.twitter.com/xcgerrGa2m

    4. Bittersweet GoodbyeWith Dil Bechara, Sushant will leave his legacy behind for us to cherish for the rest of our lives. As all his movies would be accessible on OTT platforms, it will be a very bittersweet feeling to bid him a final goodbye.

    I am not...

    â Sushant Singh Rajput (@itsSSR) October 26, 2019
    Sushant, it's hard to even use the word 'late' in front of your name, however, truth is that you are not really gone, you will always be alive in our hearts. All now we can do is to pray for your soul and hope you are at peace.
    RIP, Sushant...

    The popular belief is that one cannot be on good terms with their step or half brothers and sisters. However, many of us will agree to have come across numerous people who completely adore their half-siblings and share a pretty close bond with them.
    However, in an industry like Bollywood where every celebrity is always under scrutiny, it comes as refreshing news when we witness Bollywood actors bonding with their half brothers or sisters and changing the popular narrative that half-siblings cannot be family in the true sense of the world.
    © Twitter HDpopcorns
    From spending time with each other to genuinely hyping up one another and standing strong by their side, many Bollywood half-siblings have shown us the way forward when it comes to being great friends with their half-brothers and sisters.

    Here are 5 Bollywood actors who share a close bond with their half-brothers and sisters and showed us that blood-ties are more than social labels:
    1. Arjun Kapoor - Janhvi & Khushi Kapoor © Star World
    Arjun, Anshula, Janhvi and Khushi really make for a great family picture every time the siblings pose together. However, this change truly came after Srideviâs passing which really helped the half-siblings connect on a personal level. 

    Since then, Janhvi has often opened up about Arjun and Anshula and how much she appreciates their presence in her life.
    2. Sara Ali Khan - Taimur Ali Khan © Facebook saraalikhanlove
    Sara and Taimurâs adorable pictures never fail to make people break into a smile. Little Tim seems very comfortable with his half-sister Sara and half-brother Ibrahim Ali Khan, who celebrate many festivals together apart from also chilling together as a family every now and then. 

    While Sara calls Taimur a âbundle of happinessâ to be around, Taimur also has a special nickname for his dear sister - âGolâ.
    3. Alia Bhatt - Pooja Bhatt © Twitter aliaasangels
    Despite a huge difference in their age, Alia and Pooja share a very close friendship and have never shied away from openly expressing their affection for each other. 

    From praising younger sister Alia to sharing childhood pictures together and standing up for one another, Alia and Pooja Bhatt definitely prove that blood is thicker than water.
    4. Shahid Kapoor - Ishaan Khatter © Twitter Pinkvilla-celebsandcinema
    Perhaps one of the most notable pairs on the list simply because of the strong bond they share with each other. On multiple occasions, Shahid has proved how much he adores and loves his half-brother Ishaan. 

    Ishaan too completely dotes on his elder brother and often hangs out with him and his family.
    5. Prateik Babbar - Juhi & Aarya Babbar © BCCL
    For the longest time, Prateik was rather shy about his personal life. However, recent years have brought a change in him and given us a glimpse of his personal ties beyond his immediate family. 

    Ever since he made peace with his father and his family, Prateik also opened his heart to his half-sister Juhi and half-brother Aarya. From celebrating festivals together, to being Prateikâs biggest cheerleaders, the siblings publicly shower younger brother Prateik with lots of love.
