After making her Bollywood debut with Imtiaz Ali directed Rockstar opposite Ranbir Kapoor in 2011, Nargis Fakhri featured in several hit films including Main Tera Hero, Housefull 3, and Madras Cafe. Last seen in Sanjay Dutt-starrer Torbaaz in 2020, the actress had to take a break from films in India due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While she's currently away from screens and is looking forward to returning to films soon, Nargis is back in the news as she recently opened up about facing body shaming. View this post on Instagram The actress, who is currently rumored to be dating US-based Kashmiri businessman Tony Beig, talked about celebrities dealing with their body image in an interview with HT. She recalled being a victim of body shaming throughout her career. Initially, when she came to India, she was trolled for being too skinny and then for putting on weight. Sharing her thoughts about it, she said, "I definitely faced body shaming for a short time. I do believe there is a certain look or appearance people expect from you. So there is pressure to maintain that". View this post on Instagram Nargis added, "It's funny because I realised you are never good enough, and everyone has an opinion. When I first came to India, I was too skinny, so everyone was like ‘you need to put on weight’ I then maintained it, I have a naturally skinny state. Later I gained about 50 pounds, so they posted I was pregnant, which I thought was not funny, but also very funny. I think first my feelings got hurt, but I realised it’s my job to take care of myself. I lost 40 pounds, worked out, and got that body back". For the unversed, after Azhar in 2016, she took a three-year break from films and made a comeback with Amavas in 2019. However, in 2017, several pictures of her being spotted at an airport, looking bigger and trying to hide her face went viral and people claimed that she was 'pregnant'. Taking to social media back then, the actress then clarified that she had just put on some weight and was not pregnant. BREAKING NEWS! pic.twitter.com/xQesGX75Yi — Nargis (@NargisFakhri) August 26, 2017 On the career front, the actress is currently busy shooting her Telugu film titled Hari Hara Veera Mallu. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, the period action-adventure drama depicts the life of legendary outlaw Veera Mallu and features superstar Pawan Kalyan in the titular role. Reportedly, Arjun Rampal and Nidhhi Agerwal are also playing pivotal roles in it. She is yet to officially announce her next Bollywood outing. View the full article

'When I'm Back In India', Eminem Once Called Himself 'A Part Of Mahatma Gandhi'
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
American rapper Eminem or Marshall Mathers III is known as the father of rap! His own life story has so much drama that there is already a lot based on it. Talking about his personal life, his overall success in an industry where the odds were always stacked against him, Eminem is truly one person who does what he wants by saying what he wants. We mean this in terms of the lyrics used in most of his rap songs. The multiple Grammy award-winning artist is known to say the most explicit of things in the songs that he writes and performs. But did you know, one of his songs actually had references to India and even Mahatma Gandhi? © Reuters © Reuters Yep! You heard it right! Eminem sang a superhit song that had connections with the freedom fighter in it, with the rapper actually stating that he had a part of Gandhi in him. The song was actually the Venom song that is used in Tom Hardy's superhero movie of the same name. © Sony Pictures In the title track of the movie, the lyrics go like this, “Threw the car into reverse at the Indy, end up crashing…Into ya, the back of it — just mangled steel My Mustang and your Jeep Wrangler grill…With the front smashed, much as my rear fender, assassin… Slim be a combination of an actual kamikaze and Gandhi. Translation, I will probably kill us both… When I end up back in India… You ain’t gonna be able to tell what the f**k’s happening to you…When you’re bit with the…”. Now, for whoever knows of Eminem, Slim is a short form for his stage name Slim Shady. In the song, he can clearly be seen stating that he is a 'combination of Kamikaze and (Mahatma) Gandhi'. Kamikaze is actually a World War II reference to a Japanese aircraft loaded with explosives and making a deliberate suicidal crash on an enemy target. I mean, while rap songs are often abstract and may not have a concrete meaning or intention behind them, a rapper like Eminem using India's reference in his song is clearly something very interesting. Maybe, it could be a sign that the rapper actually ends up coming to India and performing here, which would settle really well with the fans here. Oh yeah! We'd actually love for the Slim Shady to light up a concert here! Source: Koimoi View the full article -

Pankaj Tripathi is one Bollywood actor who probably has no haters in the world. I mean, when you look at the kind of films and TV shows that he's done over the years and the manner in which he has acted in them, it only takes little time for someone to become his true fan. His calming yet powerful on-screen presence is seen in every different character that he plays, a reason why a lot of his films and shows end up being so relatable to viewers. © Prime Video After doing projects like Stree, Mimi, Gangs Of Wasseypur, Mirzapur, and many others, the actor's latest movie is the Rani Mukherjee, Saif Ali Khan, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Sharvari Wagh-starrer Bunty Aur Babli 2. The movie is a sequel to the superhit 2005 film Bunty Aur Babli that starred Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee. © YRF The sequel, while being similar to the first film, will focus on the story of two con artists from different generations in a battle to prove who's better. However, talking about the movie, Pankaj got reminded of the time when he was conned in Bollywood. As you know, in Bollywood, you need contacts and aids from people who might help you get roles and auditions faster. This is where Bollywood agents come in handy. They charge a certain commission on the money you get from projects but they help you in getting them through their knowledge of the industry and their links to the right people. As an actor, his or her agent sort of becomes a very close person as he or she may actually help in making your career. But what happens when you get betrayed by the same person you put your trust in? Well, that's what happened with Pankaj as he reveals how his agent conned him for some money. © Instagram/Pankaj Tripathi He mentioned that the incident happened a few years ago, after which he decided to only deal in cheques. “When I contacted the company to check on the policy, they denied having it. After this, I made sure to make only cheque payments. It was a small amount of Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000 but the incident made me aware.” said Pankaj. Now, having gone through that, Pankaj will be putting a stop to conmen everywhere. Well, at least in the upcoming Bunty Aur Babli film, where he plays a cop named Jatayu Singh. © YRF Speaking about his character, Pankaj said, “He is a super-intelligent cop, who thinks he is India’s biggest cop. He hopes to become a great cop or feels that he is in the process to become the greatest cop. He always wanted to become an actor but ended up joining the police force. He is a filmy cop but intelligent. He sets the old Bunty Babli behind the modern Bunty Babli so that they do his work. He feels that a cop should be intelligent and that's why he makes one chase behind the other. The audience will get to see different layers of his in the film." Directed by Varun V Sharma, Bunty Aur Babli 2 will be released in theatres on November 19. View the full article

Nora Fatehi is in Canada at the moment and had been sharing regular photos and videos from her trip. Nora grew up in Canada and moved to India to become a Bollywood actress. Recently, she took to Instagram to share videos from her day out with her friends. Many videos showed her dancing while she was driving a car and in one video she was driving towards her friend, and one of her friends told her that she was driving on the wrong side of the road and that this isn’t India. View this post on Instagram Another video showed Nora going to towards her friend’s car with an empty bucket and trying to throw it at her. In the video, she was heard saying,"Disrespect b***h, you know who I am? Open the window," she said, and added, "They think Bollywood changed me, I'm still a hood rat." In another video, Nora was seen throwing water while sitting inside her car at a friend who was standing outside. The friend got back at her by performing the O Saki Saki hook step on the street. View this post on Instagram Nora Fatehi was recently seen in the film Bhuj: The Pride of India and spoke about the difficulty she faced when she first moved to India. She said, "When I reached India, it was nothing like (what I had imagined). I was thinking I'll get picked up by a limousine and a butler, and they're going to take me to a suite, and I would go to my auditions in that limo. It was nothing like that. I had the biggest slap on my face. The bullying, the rejection, the traumatic experience that I went through." View the full article

LeVar Burton on potential Jeopardy! gig: 'this is what I'm supposed to do'

The brother trio of Boney Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor is quite a Bollywood phenomenon that does not get talked of enough. © BCCL While there are many sibling combos that are in the spotlight quite often, but one cannot say the same for the Kapoor brothers. Of course, it might also be due to the fact that while all of them ply their respective trades in Bollywood or the Indian film industry, the fact remains that while Boney remains a renowned producer, Anil one of the most successful actors, Sanjay remains a bit low-key as compared to the two. © BCCL © BCCL However, despite many suggesting that Sanjay, the youngest in the family lives under the shadow of older brother Anil, Sanjay feels that the dynamics of success are clearly different. Recalling a time when his producer father Surinder Kapoor once sat him down for a piece of his mind, Sanjay said, “My father used to say, ‘Don’t look at the four-five people ahead of you. Instead, think of the many people who are behind you, who probably are more deserving but did not get the right opportunity." "You should be happy that you are doing something you love for so many years and be grateful to your well-wishers, your family, and your fans because they have stood by you,” he added. Sanjay, part of Bollywood for almost 26 years, clearly hasn't had the smoothest ride in the industry and has clearly seen the struggle that has probably evaded the path of brother Anil. The 55-year-old actor, however, says that he knew what he was signing up for when he decided to take up acting. “I was mature enough to understand that it’s not going to be a smooth ride,” added Sanjay. “Everyone just sees the actor and whether he is from the industry or outside, but you don’t get to see the years of hard work before they face the camera for the first time. Bahot papad belne padhte hain and I had to go through it as well. It was my choice,” said Sanjay. However, the actor has turned things around in recent times and has been a part of quite a number of interesting content-driven projects like Lust Stories (2018) and his latest web series The Last Hour. © Netflix © Prime Video Speaking about the comparisons that are often made with his career and that of his older brother, Anil, Sanjay feels that while he and his entire family are proud of Anil's achievements, he also feels that he is successful as well. © Facebook “There is no barometer for success. Yes, Anil is very successful and as a family, we are very proud of his achievements — it is exceptional — but if I have lasted for 26 years, I feel I am successful too." "His success may be more than mine, but you can’t take away the journey that I have had. When you run a race, somebody has to come first but that doesn’t mean ki jo second aaya, woh bhaaga hi nahi,” Sanjay signed off. Do you agree with Sanjay's point of view?

The world is in a state of chaos and it's not just the pandemic, but there's no stopping the violence as well in some countries. Recently, there was an attack in Gaza, where, according to reports, Israel launched airstrikes. This was one of the deadliest attacks in the history of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. More than 1000 people were wounded and some were minors as well. The attack killed almost 149 people, including 41 children. © YouTube/Sky news © YouTube/Sky news Amid all this, a video of a 10-year old girl called Nadine Abdel-Taif has gone viral. The child had tears in her eyes as she pointed out the rubble behind her and is seen explaining the brutality by Israel in Palestine. In the video, she is seen with a few other children and she says that she feels helpless because she can't do anything for her people. God, my heart. Bless her. pic.twitter.com/ZEsJ4ru2FX — Barry Malone (@malonebarry) May 15, 2021 "What am I supposed to do? Fix it? I'm only 10. I can't even deal with this anymore," she says while pointing at the rubble behind her. She breaks down even more as she says, “I just want to be a doctor or anything to help my people. But I can’t. I’m just a kid". Nadine further added "I get scared… I’d do anything for my people. But I don’t know what to do." She can also be heard questioning, “Why do we deserve this? What did we do for this?" My family said they just hate us. They just don't like us because we are Muslims," In the end, she can be heard saying "It's not fair." © Twitter/Barry Malone The repercussions of the attack have led to the children of Gaza suffering the brunt of it. While some survived the attack, many lost their lives. The number of deaths also includes newborn babies. The video posted on Twitter by Barry Malone has been shared on several social media platforms and has garnered around 11.5 million views on Twitter until now. As per further reports, Nadine is safe along with her family members. One of her teachers also commented on the video. "This is my beautiful student, Nadeen. She was explaining to the press what happened to their neighbours. Thank God, Nadeen & her family are safe & sound. She is still shocked & traumatized, though," After this, many users came forward and sent their love and prayers for her. Reports state that the destruction is huge on the Palestinian side and people are doing their bit to help out in whatever way they can. My heart breaks for her, but we all must look to the politicians on both sidedfor the answer to her questions. We do not hate Muslims. — Carole Reiss (@reiss_carole) May 16, 2021@malonebarry I can’t express how much pain I feel in my heart while watching this 10 yr old girl saying she “She’s just a kid”. She and the rest of the other kids in 🇵🇸 are living in complete fear. This is terrifying! 🇮🇱 needs to stop !!! — Ernest Henry 🇸🇱️ (@ErnestHenry9) May 16, 2021You are so right sweetheart! It isn't fair! I wish I could help but I am not in a position to help. I am appalled at what is happenning to you but I don't know what to do either.

I am so sorry! — Marilyn Riedy (@marilyn_riedy) May 16, 2021My heart has literally broke....what a senseless & selfish world we live in. — Bradley Williams (@chilli_willi19) May 15, 2021I have an 11 year old girl.

Steve Smith breaks down during a press conference after returning to Australia SYDNEY: When disgraced Australian cricketer Steve Smith faced the cameras in Sydney on Thursday with a tearful apology for a ball-tampering scandal, he joined a small club of sports stars who have very publicly said sorry. Athletes have played the penitent for everything from cheating at their sport to cheating on a wife; from pre-meditated assault on a rival to simply losing. Here are five high-profile mea culpas: Gianluigi Buffon - 2017 Fans reacted with shock and disbelief last year when Italy failed to qualify for the football World Cup for the first time since 1958 -- a failure dubbed an "apocalypse" by the nation´s press. "I´m not sorry for myself but all of Italian football," an inconsolable team captain Gianluigi Buffon said after the Azzuri missed out on qualification for the 2018 edition in Russia. "We failed at something which also means something on a social level. There´s regret at finishing like that, not because time passes." Buffon, one of the greatest goalkeepers of the modern era, also announced his retirement from international football after Sweden went through at Italy´s expense. Lance Armstrong - 2013 Cycling star Lance Armstrong admitted in a 2013 interview with Oprah Winfrey that he took performance-enhancing drugs during his glittering career. "I made my decisions. They´re my mistake. And I´m sitting here today to acknowledge that and to say I´m sorry for that," the seven-time Tour de France winner told Winfrey. The American cyclist and cancer-survivor had all his titles taken away over the scandal, which shattered his reputation as one of the most widely-admired athletes in the world for both his sporting achievements and his philanthropic work through the Livestrong Foundation. Tiger Woods - 2010 Golf superstar Tiger Woods went on national television in 2010 to apologise to his family after a string of scandalous disclosures about his private life, including the revelation that he was a serial cheat. "I know I have severely disappointed all of you. I have made you question who I am and how I have done the things I did. I am embarrassed that I have put you in this position," Woods said. "For all that I have done, I am so sorry. I have a lot to atone for." The scandal seriously damaged the American´s carefully-cultivated image, sent his sponsors fleeing and eventually ended his marriage. Marion Jones - 2007 US sprinter Marion Jones was sentenced to six months in jail and banned for two years for using performance-enhancing drugs before the 2000 Sydney Games -- and lying to US federal investigators. "It is with a great amount of shame that I stand before you and tell you that I have betrayed your trust," a tearful Jones said after pleading guilty to the charges in October 2007. "I have let (my family) down, I have let my country down, and I have let myself down." Jones was stripped of the three gold and two bronze medals she won in Sydney, and was also ordered to repay over $100,000 in prize and bonus money. Tonya Harding - 1994 American figure skater Tonya Harding was banished from the sport over an attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan, who had her knee bashed a month before the 1994 Winter Olympics. A visibly emotional Harding apologised a few months after the attack for not honestly reporting what she discovered about the plot -- hatched by her ex-husband -- but denied she had any prior knowledge. "Many of you will be unable to forgive me for that. It will be difficult to forgive myself," she said in a 1994 press statement, and appeared to choke up several times. Harding was later convicted of trying to cover up the conspiracy, which was the subject of the acclaimed 2017 film "I, Tonya".

'I feel like I'm going crazy:' migrant health crumbles in Greece
ADMIN posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
FILE PHOTO: A Pakistani migrant threatens to hang himself from a utility pole during a demonstration inside the Moria registration centre on the Greek island of Lesbos, April 6, 2016. Photo: REUTERS/file ATHENS: A mental health emergency is unfolding in migrant camps on Greece?s islands, fueled by poor living conditions, neglect and violence, charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said on Tuesday. Medical staff have seen a sharp increase in people trying to get help after attempting suicide, harming themselves or suffering psychotic episodes, it said in a report. More than 13,000 migrants and refugees, mostly Syrians and Iraqis fleeing years of war, are living in five camps on Greek islands close to Turkey, government figures show. Four of those camps are holding two to three times as many people as they were designed for. ?Every day our teams treat patients who tell us that they would prefer to have died in their country than be trapped here,? said Jayne Grimes, manager of MSF?s mental health activities on the island of Samos. The charity said six or seven new patients had visited its clinic on the nearby island of Lesbos each week over the summer following suicide attempts, self-harm or psychotic episodes, 50 percent more than the previous three months. Violence which many experienced on the journey or in Greece was one factor aggravating mental distress, MSF said. ?I know I need to find hope, but when the night falls and I see where I am, I feel like I?m going crazy,? it quoted a Syrian man as saying. The 25-year-old said he was haunted by the images of people dying of hunger in front of him in the long-besieged town of Madaya. ?I still remember the taste of the leaves and the smell of death,? he said. On Samos, more than 3,000 people are crammed into facilities designed to hold 700, and about 400 live in the woods. In one Lesbos camp, about 1,500 people are in makeshift shelters or tents without flooring or heating, the U.N. refugee agency says. In August, MSF found nearly three-quarters of new mental health patients on Lesbos needed to be referred to a psychiatrist, up from just over a third in the nine months from October 2016 to June 2017. The report quoted a 41-year-old man, who said he had been tortured in a Syrian prison. When he visited a Lesbos hospital, he said he was told he would have to wait eight months to see a psychiatrist. ?When I heard that, I felt like dying,? he said. A 29-year-old Syrian woman, on Lesbos with her family, told the MSF researchers the uncertainty over the future was ?crushing us. It is killing us inside.? While the number of arrivals to Greece has slowed significantly since a European Union deal with Turkey to block the route in March last year, a recent sharp rise in arrivals has put pressure on government-run facilities.
