Exclusive: 'Avengers: Endgame' Box Office Prediction Says Film To Hit A Half Century On Day 1
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
There's no need to bet on the fact that 'Avengers: Endgame' is surely one of the most anticipated films of the year 2019. Just two days are left for the release and the fans can't keep calm. If you have booked your tickets well in advance, then you're probably bubbling with anticipation over how the movie will turn out. There's a rush among fans to see the movie on the very first day and if you are a hardcore Marvel fan and you have not been able to book the ticket, we can totally understand your pain. It's common knowledge that the barometer of any film's success rate is the box office opening. The more the movie mints, the more it attracts the audience to watch it on the big screen. Interestingly, 'Avengers: Endgame' will wrap the storylines that have been shown in the last 21 films. It's the ultimate finale and that's why the craze. Since the box office is one of the biggest parameters of the success rate of a film, we got in touch with Trade and Film Expert, Girish Johar, to know the Day 1 prediction for Endgame. © Twitter/girishjohar "The craze for 'Avengers: Endgame' is unprecedented. It's not only in India but we can see it globally. In China, the midnight screenings broke the record of 'Fast and Furious' by three times and that's not really a small thing. It has crushed the previous records and the same is expected in India. Advance bookings have gone berserk and fans have gone crazy. I, honestly, expect mayhem at the box office. They have already cloaked in a million tickets in advance which is great. It will shatter the old box office records and new ones will be set with 'Avengers: Endgame'," Girish said. "The screenings are yet to be locked by today. I envisage around Rs 50 crores plus on Day 1 including all the languages. The screens are being increased by each passing day. The audience is hungry and wants to see it. Even after ticket pricing being high, fans are still thronging so it shows the craze the people have for the franchise," added Girish. Are you excited to watch 'Avengers: Endgame' this weekend? Tell us in the comments below. -
Sadhvi Pragya Says Cow Urine Cured Her Breast Cancer & Her Comment Sparks A Laugh Riot On Twitter
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Here's some Tuesday humour for those people who're going to cast their vote within the next month. BJP candidate for Lok Sabha polls from Bhopal, Sadhvi Pragya said a mix of cow urine and some herbs derived out of cow products helped cure her breast cancer. The very candidate who made insulting remarks against 26/11 martyr Hemant Karkare and who boasted about helping demolish the Babri Majid in 1992, even though she was 4-years-old then, came forward saying cow urine cured her breast cancer. © Twitter Let's not forget Sadhvi Pragya, the prime accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case is out on bail over health issues currently. While talking to a popular news channel, she said it saddens her to see the state of cows in the city. "Godhan amrit hai" she stated in an interview. She then went on to list certain health benefits by consuming cow urine and the herbs derived from cow products. The biggest health benefit she said was that cow urine absolutely took care of her breast cancer, which truly implies she's absolutely healthy now. She also said rubbing a cow from the back towards the neck, helps control blood pressure. © India Today Obviously Twitter didn't take her statements lightly again, and they practically became a laugh riot in no time!

Sushma Swaraj Says 'Main Hoon Na' To Indian In UAE Threatening To Take His Life If Not Helped
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Sushma Swaraj has saved quite a few lives in her tenure as the Union External Affairs Minister, and literally so. Over time, she has turned into a sort of quasi-godmother for Indians residing abroad, who swiftly steps up to help those in need. Swaraj has been actively helping Indians living abroad, who reach out to her in moments of distress through social media platforms such as Twitter. © Twitter Earlier today, she pulled a 'Main Hoon Na' move when an Indian national in Saudi Arabia reached out to her and she assured to help him out by saying “hum hain na”. An Indian named Ali had been trying to leave Saudi and get back to India for the past one year. He had been in touch with the Indian Embassy in Riyadh for the same purpose, however, nothing came out of his efforts even after 12 months of struggle, and as a last resort he reached out to Swaraj for help. 'Khud kusi' ki baat nahin sochte. Hum hain na. Hamari Embassy aapki poori madad karegi. @IndianEmbRiyadh - Pls send me a report on this. https://t.co/ajU8EXyhAK — Chowkidar Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) April 18, 2019 In his plea, he stated that he has tried tooth and nail to get back to India, but the Indian Embassy has shown no seriousness in considering his request. Now, the man said that if help is not sent, he might have to take his own life, as he can see no other way. To this Swaraj promptly replied saying, “Khud kusi ki baat nahin sochte. Hum hain na. Hamari Embassy aapki poori madad karegi. @IndianEmbRiyadh - Pls send me a report on this,” and asked the authorities to look into the matter. © Twitter This isn't all. We have witnessed Sushma Swaraj come to the rescue of many others in the past as well. Last year she also responded to a tweet stating that she personally handled her Twitter account, and it wasn't “her ghost” doing it for her. She has a great sense of humour and an even greater sense of responsibility and accountability for her duty as well as her position. -
'Dhoni Needs No Backup', Harbhajan Singh Says As Dinesh Karthik Is Selected For 2019 World Cup
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
On Monday, a couple of hours before the final list of India's top 15 cricketers who will be representing the nation in the greatest contest of the cricketing world, was declared, former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh shared his thoughts on the decision to select one of two players in particular. In an interview with India Today, Bhajji spoke about the lack of need of a secondary or backup wicket-keeper to the current man behind the stumps, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Showing his utmost faith in the former skipper, he believes that the Indian squad are more than good enough to be successful at the 2019 ICC World Cup with just a single wicket-keeping maestro, thereby also announced his apprehensions about both Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant being selected. “It's not that Dhoni does not have niggles. Playing cricket with him I know he has some back issues but with his experience, he knows how to play with all that,” Singh told India Today. © Reuters Not to let his devotion toward Dhoni get the better of him, Harbhajan also spoke of how KL Rahul is well qualified and experienced to fill in Mahi's shoes if the 37-year-old suffered a serious injury. “I don't think you need any backup for Dhoni unless he suffers from any major injury during the World Cup. In case of any minor niggle, you do have KL Rahul in the squad who can keep.” Singh also showed some love for the Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer, Navdeep Saini, who's fresh bowling style and raw pace has not only impressed cricketers like Sourav Ganguly and himself during 2019 season of the Indian Premier League but also in the domestic circuit. “You need a fourth specialist seamer in England too and Navdeep Saini would be my pick. Not just because he has bowled well in IPL which in itself is credible in Bangalore's batting friendly wickets but also because he has won Ranji matches in the past, so he comes with domestic experience,” he said. -
Jack Ma Says Working Overtime Is A 'Blessing' & We Just Hope Our Boss Isn't Listening
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Admit it, working overtime is never fun. Actually, it might be a little fun if it happens only once in a while, and we are adequately compensated for it too. But then, many would say it's too much of wishful thinking because obviously, such a thing does not really exist. As it gets more and more difficult for new-age employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance, owing to the ever-rising demands on their professional front, even a stray comment in encouragement of working overtime can be a pretty huge buzzkill. (c) Reuters Something similar happened very recently when China's richest man and one of the world's largest e-commerce companies Alibaba's founder Jack Ma spoke up in defence of the laborious overtime work culture in Chinese tech companies. What's even saddening is his belief that working overtime is nothing less than a “huge blessing” for young workers. All of this transpired during a speech that Jack Ma delivered to Alibaba employees encouraging the “996” work schedule, which basically refers to the 9 am to 9 pm daily work timings, for six days a week. (c) Reuters Insane, right? We agree! But if you are wondering where this logic stems from for the e-commerce magnate, read this, “I personally think that being able to work 996 is a huge blessing. Many companies and many people don't have the opportunity to work 996, if you don't work 996 when you are young, when can you ever work 996?” How about “never”, Mr Jack? Never at the cost of our physical and mental well-being at least. (c) Reuters But in his defence, Jack Ma thought the following excuse might be a valid justification. “In this world, everyone wants success, wants a nice life, wants to be respected. Let me ask everyone, if you don't put out more time and energy than others, how can you achieve the success you want?” We are all for working hard, and going that extra mile to get the job done to perfection, but what Jack Ma seems to have ignored in this entire monologue is that, there is a difference between working to achieve our dreams, and slogging to get to the nearest grave sooner. (c) Reuters Working overtime is by no means to be encouraged, especially at a time when millions around the world are struggling to maintain their mental well being, due to constant pressure and stress at work. Aspiring for a nice life might mean surviving through some sleepless nights along the way, but that surely doesn't mean giving up the peace and very life in order to live it. So, thank you for the suggestion Mr Jack, but we think we'll pass. -
Will Smith Posts Pics Of Doing Puja In Haridwar & Says It Was A Part Of His Spiritual Awakening
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
We all know Will Smith loves India and he proved that to us when he actually did come here to partake in the Leadership summit and also because he has a brief cameo in Karan Johar's 'Student of the year'. The 'Men In Black' actor is one of the finest in Hollywood and has an array of films under his belt that have done fairly well. © Instagram One of the main reasons he's liked so much by his fans is because he's one of the most grounded stars you'll ever come across. We saw that when he was in India, doing very Indian things. Like riding an auto in Mumbai, or chilling desi style or even doing a puja in Haridwar, because he can! The actor made a quick trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh and performed the rudrabhishek in Haridwar and participated in the Ganga Arti in Rishikesh. He also had a local Pandit read his horoscope. Smith said this experience was a great spiritual awakening for him. Why are we refreshing memories here? Because Smith recently shared his India sojourns on his Instagram account and it's quite endearing to read actually. He wrote: 'My Grandmother used to say, “God Teaches through Experience”. Traveling to India & Experiencing the colors, people and natural beauty has awakened a new understanding of myself, my Art & the Truths of the world'. Isn't that the sweetest caption? Here are the pictures he shared along with it: My Grandmother used to say, “God Teaches through Experience”. Traveling to India & Experiencing the colors, people and natural beauty has awakened a new understanding of myself, my Art & the Truths of the world. A post shared by Will Smith (@willsmith) on Apr 6, 2019 at 1:51pm PDT Well, we really hope he comes back again and does local touristy things. I won't be shocked if I find him driving a tractor in Haryana sometime soon. For now, we're really looking forward to Aladdin in May 2019, where he'd be playing Genie. -
Jayawardene Jokes About Bumrah's Swollen Eye, Says He Got Into A Brawl During A Night-Out
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
The twelfth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is not fairing out well for the world's number 1 ranked ODI bowler according to the International Cricket Council (ICC) as far as avoiding injuries is concerned. While the pacer injured his left shoulder after a scary dive on the last delivery of Mumbai Indian's (MI) season-opener against Delhi Capitals.(DC), the cricketing fans of the Indian held their breath when they saw him enter the field to bowl against Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) with a swollen right eye on Wednesday. Nobody had any idea what sort of trouble did the 25-year-old had gotten into the get such a bad bruise on his face. So, when the match finished, people went crazy on social media demanding some sort of clarification on the horrific injury. What happened to Bumrah's eye? — Romsha ð®ð³ (@kohlischarms) April 3, 2019 Who punched Bumrah on his right eye? ð pic.twitter.com/s4935FMrU1 — Ojas. (@Ojasism) April 3, 2019 Why aren't people talking about Jasprit Bumrah's black eye?#IPL #MIvCSK — Maulik Sheth (@MaulikSheth03) April 3, 2019 When the question was put in front of MI head coach Mahela Jayawarden, he decided to have some fun with the frowning commentator who was interviewing the Sri Lankan legend. Upon being asked if he was the reason behind Bumrah's black eye, he quickly replied with a huge smirk on his face: “I think the story is he is going for a night-out you know and get into a brawl or something like that.” He then quickly clarified that he was only pulling the interviewer's leg: “Just joking. He missed a straight catch from Jimmy the other day. He was quite lucky actually. He had a pretty big swelling yesterday evening and managed to get it down. He's one of the good ones in the team.” Despite the injuries, Bumrah indeed has been extremely lucky for none of them have been grave enough to put India's finest out of action. With the 2019 ICC World Cup less than a month and a half away, he ought to stay out of trouble as his role in building an Indian side worth the trophy will be massive. As far as the game against CSK is concerned, it felt as if the huge lump on his face was bothering MI's top bowler as he went through the night without a single wicket while giving away 27 runs in four overs. Mumbai managed to add to the winning column nonetheless, thanks to Hardik Pandya's heroic performance on both ends of the pitch. -
Donald Trump has said a lot of questionable things in the past. Like, seriously hilarious things. It's no surprise that he's referred to by those closest to him as an 'idiot', 'moron' among other things. But now the social media is trolling the President left and right for saying what we believe is one of the most hilarious things we've heard in quite some time now. While attending the National Republican Congressional Committee's spring fundraising dinner in Washington DC, he said, “If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations your house just went down 75% in value.” © Pexels He then continued to make a weird waving gesture with his arm in the air and said, “And they say the noise causes cancer, you tell me that one, OK.” Here, watch the hilarious video here - ICYMI: Trump at the NRCC dinner last night: "If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value.

Then he makes a windmill noise. ð³ pic.twitter.com/2q1GIj0we9 — Amee Vanderpool (@girlsreallyrule) April 3, 2019 Just to be clear, windmills do not cause cancer. We repeat, windmills do not cause cancer. Yes, there are other health problems that are blamed on wind turbines, but cancer certainly isn't one of them. In addition to the social media, even GOP Senator Chuck Grassley called his comments completely “Idiotic“.

In an industry which should thrive on gender fluidity because of equal opportunities, there is still gender disparity that's visible from every archaic lens. Recently, after the success of her film 'Luka Chuppi', Kriti Sanon, the lead actress, spoke about how the entire credit for the film went to the lead male actor Kartik Aaryan and it seemed absolutely unfair. According to her Kartik was lauded for bringing the audience to the theatre to watch the film and she said this is always the case where the male actor steals the show mostly, when the female has an equal part to play for the success of the film. © Pintrest "This business of overlooking the leading lady has been going on for a while and it's so unfair. I am glad this conversation is finally happening." she told a leading entertainment publication in an interview. "It's logical to talk about only the male protagonist when the leading lady doesn't have a lot to do, but when they are both carrying a film on their shoulders, the credit should be equally shared. Everybody deserves a mention," she added. © AA Films The actress had fair points to address because they've been visible since the genesis of the industry. For the success of every movie, the male actor is always brought forward for his commendable work, while the actress is criticised for what she was wearing or how she carried herself out in the movie, completely objectifying her, istead of paying heed to her acting prowess. It's time we change the dialogue of how we perceive our films and make them more gender equal when we talk about them, especially if the actor and actress both have an equal role in the movie. Kriti also spoke about gender pay disparity in Bollywood and said it needs to be equal to set a good example to the country. “Actors are also paid more than their female counterparts in Bollywood. Remuneration should be in sync with two things — your role in the film and your capacity to pull in the audience. There have been instances in the past when actresses have been paid more than their hero,” She opened about disparities in gender pay in Bollywood with a popular entertainment publication. © AA Films I think Kriti is certainly moving talks towards a more progressive standpoint. Equal pay has been a fight in our country since long and if an industry like Bollywood demonstrates it within their own realm, it will set a good example for other industries to make equal pay more sustainable and possible. While we're grateful to Kriti for bringing up such pertinent points and addressing them, we hope more actresses come forward and talk about things that really matter. Kriti is currently working alongside Arjun Kapoor on Ashutosh Gowarikar's 'Panipat', which is about the third battle of Panipat.

'Avengers: Endgame' Director Says Rajinikanth & Salman Would Make The Perfect Iron Man & Hulk
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
After the most anticipated wait in cinematic history, 'Avengers: Endgame' is finally around the corner and we can't wait to book our tickets already! Recently John Russo, one of the directors of 'Avengers: Endgame' was in the country, Mumbai to be precise, for the launch of the Marvel anthem composed by A.R Rahman and he revealed some interesting trivia he knows and keeps on Bollywood. © TOI Bollywood has a cult following across the world now. With its stark flamboyancy, colours that can give you a headache and songs that can probably mesmerise you, it's no surprise that Hollywood looks towards the East to draw some parallel inspiration every once a while. Well, Russo does the same. In an interview with a popular publication, Russo revealed how he loved watching Bollywood cinema when he found the time and that his favourite movies were 'Dabangg' and 'Robot'. This was definitely something we didn't expect. The Marvel Cinematic Universe director watching 'Dabangg'? Really? But he revealed that he loved the way the action sequences were shot and that he was a Salman admirer (like we don't have enough around already!) © Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd When Russo was asked where he caught these films, he said over the years he'd been watching a lot of fun stuff in the edit rooms, but these movies were mostly seen when he was on an aeroplane, off to his travels. “For the last seven years, I have been able to watch a lot of stuff other than these movies in the edit room. But when I get into airplanes and I have to travel a lot, I like to catch up on movies, especially global cinema,” he said. “I remember reading about 'Dabangg' so when I got into the plane, it was on there and I watched it and I loved it. I loved the camera work and the tone. It's very entertaining. It reminded me of some of the work we did in Community,” © Twitter He also mentioned how Rajinikanth's 'Robot' influenced 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron' and that's the kind of revelation every Bollywood filmmaker needs to hear! Well, post this revelation from his end, he was asked the most pertinent question ever. Since he'd seen both Rajinikanth and Salman in action, he was asked what characters they would play best from the Avengers and to that he took no time to say Rajinikanth would perfectly fit the bill as Iron Man and Sallu would play the Hulk for sure! I mean wow, he'd probably envisioned the two as Stark and the Hulk when he saw their movies, in all probability. While I agree Rajini would kill it as Tony, Sallu's a little too damaged to fit into any superhero profile, even if it's the Hulk! But Russo knows best I guess. © Twitter While Russo met all his fans in India, he had come alone and not with the 'Endgame' ensemble. However, Chris Hemsworth who plays Thor, Paul Rudd who plays Ant-Man and Josh Brolin who plays Thanos sent rather endearing messages to all their fans in the country and expressed their wish to be here with the director. © Walt Disneys Atudio Motion pictures 'Avengers: Endgame' is out on the 26th of April 2019 and it will be the end of a decade-long journey the Avengers have had and hence, it's the most anticipated film of the year. We're gearing up for the big release already, are you? -
Former ISRO Engineer Says India's Mission Shakti Is A Complete Waste & Has No Strategic Advantage
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
In his much-hyped and anticipated address to the nation a couple of days back, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India is now a space-power, as DRDO successfully destroyed a low earth orbit satellite in space using a missile. While the government claims that the ASAT test has provided 'credible deterrence' against the threats to the country's space-based assets, a former ISRO Satellite Communication Engineer thinks that this won't be effective at all. First of all, in case you don't know what the announcement was all about then here's PM Modi's address to the nation - Now, let's see what N Kalyan Raman, former ISRO Satellite Communication Engineer, who has worked with ISRO for over two decades thinks. According to him, India won't be able to knock out the satellites that are in the higher orbit with its missile. “Most of the countries' satellites are in the higher orbit, and even with this India won't be able to knock out those satellites,” he said. Kalyan noted that Mission Shakti doesn't quite add up in a war-like situation. In fact, he says there are a lot of other ways through which one can keep an eye on the enemies. He said, “In a war like situation, if a country wants to spy on its enemies there are various ways to do it-- for example, Google Earth. All you need is good resolution photos. Why do we even need this?” © ISRO Raman firmly believes that India's anti-satellite test was more a demonstration of its ballistic missile defence system, rather than its ability to challenge its adversaries in space. On the same lines, even Vipin Narang, an associate professor of political science at MIT, told the WIRED that India needs to balance things out if it's interested in getting into the anti-satellite deterrence game. He added that China can knock out all of India's satellites, but India can't really do the same. -
SC Refuses To Stall Release Of Film 'Ram Ki Janmbhoomi' & Says People Need To Be More Tolerant
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
After the historical verdict that changed dialogue for all religious sentiment in the country, it's only inevitable that everything is depicted visually to tell us what really happened. The Ayodhya verdict came out in September 2010 and since its fair and riveting result, it made a big impact on the country, and a movie by the name of 'Ram Ki Janmbhoomi' will be releasing on the 29th of March, 2019. © Cine Craft Productions Sanoj Mishra's 'Ram Ki Janmbhoomi' will be dealing with the controversial issue of Ram Mandir and Halala. Although it is in full-swing to release this Friday, there was a plea that sought to stall the release of the film, before a bench headed by Justice S A Bobde. This is because the petitioner claimed the release of the movie will impair the ongoing mediation proceedings in the land dispute case. But the Supreme Court refused the plea altogether for stalling the film, saying there is no vital connection between the mediation proceedings and the release of the movie. “There is no connection between the mediation proceeding and the release of the movie,” said the bench as they listed the plea for hearing after two weeks. © Cine Craft Productions The Delhi High court also stated that people will have to be more tolerant, if freedom of speech and expression given under the constitution has to survive in this country. The high court made this observation when a plea was filed by Yakub Habeebuddin Tucy, who happens to be a self-proclaimed descendant of Bahadur Shah Zafar. He'd made the plea to stop the release of the film in question. On March 8th, the court ordered a formal mediation into the Ayodhya case, as a way to solve the 60-year-old Ramjanambhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute. The case is not about property anymore but about how people feel about it and how they should heal from this age-old turmoil. © Twitter But we're glad the court sees positive sentiments where the dispute is concerned. For them to uphold freedom of speech and expression in the highest conduct is a great start to end the dispute through visual entertainment and we can't wait to watch the film post its release. -
Singer Armaan Malik Talks About Battling Depression, Says He Was Inspired By Bieber's Recent Post
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
While depression isn't an easy condition to deal with, we have a lot of people coming forward and talking about it openly. This not only helps others who are going through it, to accept it and deal with it, but also normalises the whole philosophy behind depression, which in most cases is seen as a regressive state to go through, in society. © Twitter The most progressive stance though has been taken by celebrities like Deepika Padukone, Honey Singh and even Justin Bieber, who have openly talked about going through depression and experiencing every nuance of it and crossing the gripping hurdle one day at a time. Very recently, singer Armaan Malik revealed his battle with depression as well and said he was heavily inspired by singer Justin Beiber's posts on depression, on social media to face his own internal issues and come and talk about them, openly. Armaan also talked about efforts he was making towards rectifying his mental health and how he will never give up on it. © Twitter In a recent Tweet he said: “I've always been honest about my feelings in general so yes I'VE NOT BEEN OK for a while now & I know my fans have been worried about me. I resonated a lot with Justin's recent post where he said he's battling a lot of internal issues” I've always been honest about my feelings in general so yes I'VE NOT BEEN OK for a while now & I know my fans have been worried about me. I resonated a lot with Justin's recent post where he said he's battling a lot of internal issues — ARMAAN MALIK (@ArmaanMalik22) 26 March 2019 He also tweeted: “I have been too and it's not easy coz even if you have people you love around you, you need to sort out stuff YOURSELF!! But just wanna tell all of you, I have been super patient, I've tried my best to be positive & that's what has gotten me through a lot of my low phases.” I have been too and it's not easy coz even if you have people you love around you, you need to sort out stuff YOURSELF!! But just wanna tell all of you, I have been super patient, I've tried my best to be positive & that's what has gotten me through a lot of my low phases. — ARMAAN MALIK (@ArmaanMalik22) 26 March 2019 He then added a glimpse of positivity for 2019, saying: “So don't need to worry. It's gonna be a KICKASS 2019 and EVER YEAR"! So don't need to worry. It's gonna be a KICKASS 2019 and EVER YEARâï¸ — ARMAAN MALIK (@ArmaanMalik22) 26 March 2019 Lastly, the 'Bol Do Na Zara' singer Tweeted: “Just realised that it's not only me, it's you and everybody else around us and we all go through some intense stuff on a daily basis which we don't talk about. Let's all be strong together" Just realised that it's not only me, it's you and everybody else around us and we all go through some intense stuff on a daily basis which we don't talk about. Let's all be strong together ðð¼ — ARMAAN MALIK (@ArmaanMalik22) 26 March 2019 Which was a very helpful Tweet, might I add, considering a lot of people today are undergoing mental health issues and aren't very sure how to bring them up, without falling under the trap of it being a social taboo. Armaan's fans also came forward in his support for speaking up on such a crucial matter. We're very glad Armaan came forward to openly admit and talk about depression and we wish and pray everything works out well for him! -
Facebook Says Its Employees Had Access To Millions Of Passwords & Now We Have Some Serious Trust Issues
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Just when I thought Facebook was done screwing up its user's privacy, a new report just popped up saying that Facebook's employees had access to hundreds of millions of user passwords. Good job, Facebook! Yesterday, when an independent security journalist named Brian Krebs reported about this mistake, Facebook issued a press release to confirm the same and said it discovered the mishap during a “routine security review in January.” Here's the best part - The press release was titled “Keeping Passwords Secure”. LOL! © Reuters Krebs' report noted that anywhere between 200 to 600 million people are affected due to this mistake, which shouldn't have happened in the first place. In fact, it looks like some passwords were found in archives dating back to 2012. The social media site estimates that hundreds of millions of Facebook Lite users, tens of millions of other Facebook users, and tens of thousands of Instagram users. Looks like the issue has been fixed and it will notify everyone affected. © Pexels According to Facebook, there's no evidence that plain text passwords were exposed outside of the company, neither were they abused internally. So, it says even the affected users don't necessarily need to change their passwords, but I'd still change it if I were you. I am sure you know that this isn't the first security breach that Facebook and its users are dealing with. All we've been hearing about is Facebook and it's privacy issues. It all started with the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and it's just been a string of bad security issues. People even started dumping Facebook, which I once wondered was the right thing to do. But now, I have some serious trust issues and I wonder if it's time to dump the platform for real. -
Rishi Kapoor Says Pak Should Join Hands With India To 'Root Out Terrorism' & We Totally Agree
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Rishi Kapoor, the 66-year-old opinionated actor , who is currently in New York undergoing treatment for an unknown disease shared his two bits on the Indo-Pak situation, and we completely agree with him. After Kangana's remark about how Bollywood celebrities should be more participatory in political matters, a wave of actors came forth to share their two bits about India's current situation with Pakistan. We aren't sure if it's because of the statement Kangana made or celebrities really have a dominant opinion but in a way it's good the industry is meting out their opinions because it heavily impacts their fan base. © Twitter Kapoor came forth on Twitter and said Pakistan should join hands with India to 'root out terrorism' and we completely agree with him, as that seems as the most probable and sane solution at hand, right now, sans the violence. He said : "Agree with @arunjaitley If Pakistan truly wants to root out terrorism as they say so,they should join hands with India to do so. We and you have nothing against our respective civilians. If Imran cannot, Pakistan Army or ISI should do it. Think!" Agree with @arunjaitley If Pakistan truly wants to root out terrorism as they say so,they should join hands with India to do so. We and you have nothing against our respective civilians. If Imran cannot, Pakistan Army or ISI should do it. Think! — Rishi Kapoor (@chintskap) 10 March 2019 Kapoor's opinion on Twitter came forth after Arun Jaitley, the finance minister, spoke to a news channel and shared his opinion about how Pakistan has been in dismissal about the Indian air-strikes and the state isn't cooperating to curb terrorism. And we completely agree with him and with Rishi Kapoor. © Twitter Post the Pulwama attack, where over 40 CRPF jawans lost their lives, India and Pakistan have been trying to validate peace through acts of violence and the best possible way to curb the dire situation is if the two countries have a dialogue and reach a pivotal point of eventuality, where steps are taken to remove terrorism from the root. While that may take time to occur, a good way to start the process is by joining hands and coming up with apt tactical solutions that will benefit both the countries. © Twitter While most politicians and other celebrities want the idea of peace to prevail between the two states, following through with the imminent ideology may take time and we really hope it happens before it's too late. While Rishi Kapoor, amongst many others, shares his opinion on the matter, we hope for nothing more than normalcy between India and Pakistan, soon. -

Talking About Indo-Pak Tensions, John Abraham Says 'War Must Be Against Terror & Not Religion'
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Just when Kangana Ranaut criticised Bollywood for not coming forth and speaking on critical political issues, the quintessential Bollywood hunk stepped up and gave his two cents on the state of affairs of the country. While at the trailer launch of his film 'Romeo Akbar Walter', John Abraham, speaking about the current tensions between India and Pakistan post the Pulwama terror attacks said: "There has to be a war against terror, not against a country, religion, religions or between religions. I am very clear in my outlook. I (will) probably get picked on, but I am not going to sit on the fence and say 'this audience will like it, that won't." © Twitter He also added, unlike other actors, that he's never going to shy away from voicing his opinion. "There has to be a war on terror. It has to be over and done with. That doesn't mean you have to fight with another country. That doesn't mean you have to stereotype people." He was asked if actors are obliged to make political comments, to which he said: “Yes, if they are politically aware. Kangana is very politically aware and she has got a voice. I think you must take a stand if you are politically aware. But you shouldn't be stupidly talented. You can't be an idiot, who knows nothing about which country lies where. If you don't know what's happening from Bihar to Syria, then you should shut up and smile and show your mug that you have done so much work on. Don't talk.” © Pinterest While the actor believes other actors should not talk or comment about politics to simply 'trend', he encourages more people to come forward and talk about the grave situation at hand. We believe John has a point to make, because the country idolises the Bollywood fraternity to an extent and if they come forth and share positive opinions, which do not propagate war and violence, then it definitely reflects well for the rest of society. We all have an opinion but voicing something that's beneficial for the nation and its people should definitely be put forth out and loud. © Indiatimes While talking to the press, John also spoke about his new espionage thriller 'Romeo Akbar Walter', directed by Robbie Grewal. The film also features Mouni Roy, Jackie Shroff and Sikander Kher. Since the film does talk about Indo-Pakistan relations, everyone in the film is aware of the current situation and has an opinion on it, said the 46-year-old actor. “We are stereotyping people, that's probably the most dangerous sign. It shouldn't happen. But that's the way the world is functioning today.” He added. The film is scheduled to release on April 5th. © Twitter Watch the trailer here While more famous personalities are coming forward to express their opinion on the situation at hand, we only hope the tensions die down slowly and peace is accepted by both the parties, shortly. -
Injury-Struck Neymar Says The Door's Always Open For A Possible Move To Real Madrid
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
The world's most expensive player somehow managed to make headlines even when he is not playing on the field. The man himself, Neymar Jr, is currently healing from a foot injury which ruled him out even from the round of 16 clashes against Manchester United. Playing his second season with the French champions, Paris Saint-Germain, the left-winger has scored 20 goals and set up another 11 in just 23 appearances for his team this season. Making his way from Barcelona to PSG in 2017, the Brazilian might head back to La Liga in the coming years, but this time to the Los Blancos and not the Catalans. © Reuters The latest rumours have linked the 27-year-old with a return to Barcelona, however, his father Neymar Sr has ruled out his son's interest in the Catalan club and feels that Neymar is happy in PSG. Whereas in a recent interview in his home country, the Brazilian forward opened up on his potential move to Real Madrid. Despite admitting that he is happy at the French capital, the Sau Paulo lad didn't rule out a move to the current UEFA Champions league holder. "If I want to play for Madrid? They are one of the biggest clubs in the world," he told in an interview at Globo TV. “Any player linked with Real Madrid would feel attracted to player there.” © Reuters Clearing his statement the forward added: "For the love of God, I am not speaking about playing for Madrid, calm down. I feel happy in Paris, I am very well here... but, in the future, nobody knows.” "It is obvious that Real Madrid are a great team, one of the best in the world, I have great respect for them but, today, I see myself in Paris," he said. For the time being, the PSG star is working really hard to recover from his injury and join his side soon. © Reuters As far as PSG is concerned, they hold a firm grip over Manchester United in their Champions League 'Round of 16' tie, thanks to Di Maria and Kylian Mbappe who put up a sparkling performance at the Old Trafford. Coming back to Neymar, it's highly uncertain that the Brazilian would think of a change this soon. He probably will stick to the French champions for the time being and would look for a change in the coming years. Till then, we hope we get to see our beloved Neymar Jr., back on the field again. -
In the wake of the troubled times, both India and Pakistan are facing, a lot of Bollywood celebrities are coming forward and talking about their experiences with war and turmoil and sharing a thought or two on the prevailing situation. Shekhar Kapoor too came forth to talk about his experience during the partition between India and Pakistan when he was a child and how his mother struggled to keep him and his sister safe, during the imminent violence that took place in August 1947. © Twitter Although the tensions haven't died down at large between India and Pakistan, these memories and untold stories by people who've experienced the wrath between the two countries, come in handy momentarily. And that's because we believe with these stories a longing hope is built to sustain peace and harmony. © Twitter Shekhar Kapoor took to Twitter to narrate an incident with his mother and sister during partition and this is what he had to say: "I was born in Lahore. My mother escaped massacre by hiding me n my sister under her body in a train to india. Playing dead. Most people were killed. One million people died in Partition. 10 million refugees. On both sides. India n Pakistan were created of the blood of one people.” I was born in Lahore. My mother escaped massacre by hiding me n my sister under her body in a train to india. Playing dead.

He said “#WingCdrAbhinanadan You have become a beacon of courage patriotism and dignity. And also a beacon of hope. We look forward to welcome you home soon, Sir,” #WingCdrAbhinanadan You have become a beacon of courage patriotism and dignity. And also a beacon of hope. We look forward to welcome you home soon, Sir ð — Shekhar Kapur (@shekharkapur) 28 February 2019 A few days ago, he'd tweeted again, asking people in India to not think of war against Pakistan, hinting at practising peace instead. He said “It's really important not to fan the flames of war rhetoric. It's not a game. U r not facing bullets or bombs. U r not the family praying and hoping fervently that your husbands brothers or fathers are safe. Nor living in border areas in fear. It's easy to be armchair soldiers.” It's really important not to fan the flames of war rhetoric. It's not a game. U r not facing bullets or bombs.

With Pakistan seemingly moving towards a non-violent approach and Abhinandan Varthaman's homecoming, here's hoping peace and calm prevails soon enough.

Sanath Jayasuriya's Justification Letter On 2-Yr-Ban For Corruption Says Exactly How Guilty He Is
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Sanath Jayasuriya is one of the greatest names of the past generation of the cricketing world. Having played against the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting, Jayasuriya's path to greatness is studded with great achievements and immense success both as a batsman and also as the captain of the Sri Lankan cricket team. When you are that successful, your fame and image in the society becomes that much important to you and must be protected with all your heart. Having being looked up to as a role model, an inspiration to the younger generation of not the Sri Lankan fans but also those around the world, it was highly essential for someone like Jayasuriya to protect his legacy from even the smallest of stains, and this one is a biggie. After being charged with the breaching of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code on two counts in October 2018 [one, failing to provide timely evidence and document as requested by ICC, and two, delaying or obstructing ICC's investigation against corruption] the former Sri Lanka Cricket Chair of Selector has been banned from the sport and any activity related to it. BREAKING: Sanath Jayasuriya has been charged with two counts of breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Code. Full details: https://t.co/O4kTg0b1j2 pic.twitter.com/1bJsTg9WTP — ICC (@ICC) October 15, 2018 Jayasuriya accepted the sanctions, however it was the letter of justification for his actions and why he failed to provide timely assistance to the ICC in their war against corruption, that the former cricketer later uploaded on Twitter that seems to have irked many of his fans. Message to my fan... pic.twitter.com/YFeCR4opEs — Sanath Jayasuriya (@Sanath07) February 26, 2019 Ever since the beginning of the letter, it feels as if Jayasuriya is trying to hide his guilt. “It is clear that there were no Corruption charges, Betting charges or Misuse of Inside Information charges levelled against me under the Code.” However, failing to provide material evidence which is at the disposal of the suspect is deemed as obstruction of justice and is considered to be an act to hide a crime, which is why the Anti-Corruption unit banned the former skipper. Later on, in the letter, Jayasuriya says after he was slapped with the allegations of violating the Anti-Corruption Code on two counts, he had two options: 1. Deny all said charges and fight them in the Anti-Corruption Tribunal 2. Accept all charges and face the sanctions His reason behind choosing the latter is not only baseless and childish but also hints at his fear of what could have happened if the case had gone to the Tribunal. “It was understood that such a process would exhaust a lot of time, resources, efforts… and money from both the ICC ACU and myself.” Wow. Finally, in an attempt to give a small boost to his pride, he went on to say that he “voluntarily” suspended himself from his duties. While some of his fans believe that the whole corruption case against Sanath Jayasuriya is a conspiracy theory: Sanath take legal actions against @ICC if possible. Remember this dirty racist ICC baned Kusal Perera with false charges after the 2014 wt20. But at the end their lies were exposed. Don't give up. #Staystrong #StayBlessed #Cricket — Lahiru Gamage (@LahiruGamage84) February 26, 2019 The relatively wiser ones are not biting into Jayasuriya's facetious explanations: Amazed by the support people are giving you, there are more fools out there in the world..It's appalling & disgusting to be honest that you didn't cooperate with ICC didn't come out clean.. please don't use the rubbish witch Hunt story & drama.. — Sreekanth Nair (@NairShreekanth) February 26, 2019 Why not just hand over the phone - response is confusing and evades the topic?? — Babar Hashmi (@BabarHashmi1) February 26, 2019 Dude - you sold matches one way or the other.

The terror attack in Pulwama, which is being called the biggest attack on India's security forces since the Uri attack in 2016, has shaken the entire country. On 14th February 2019, JeM terrorist Adil Ahmad Dar targeted a CRPF convoy comprising over 70 vehicles and 2,547 personnel, which was moving from Jammu towards Srinagar. The attack took away the life of 44 jawans and has left the country seething with anger and grief. © Twitter Numerous celebrities and Bollywood stars have come forward to lend their support and aid to the martyrs' families, in an attempt to ease their struggle to lead a life without a member of their family, in any way they can.

CRPF Jawan Donates Blood To Save Injured Naxal, Says It's His Duty To Help A Fellow Indian
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Even on days when our brave jawans are not risking their lives to protect us, they are still saving lives with their selfless and heartwarming gestures. This incident about a CRPF jawan is from one of those days. Constable Rajkamal, from the 133 Battalion of CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force), is the nation's hero just like every other soldier who puts his life on the line to ensure our safety. But, now he's become the internet's hero as well, after a photo of him donating blood for an injured naxal was posted online. Reuters Reportedly, the Naxal was injured in Jharkhand recently, during an exchange of fire with troops of 209 Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA). Post the shootout, the man was immediately rushed to Ranchi's Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences hospital, where the doctors said that the patient needed blood. So, Constable Rajkamal readily agreed to donate his blood. Why? Because he "considered his duty to help a fellow Indian in need." Rajkamal told The Pioneer, "I did what I had to on humanitarian grounds. We have had many clashes in the past, but that doesn't mean that I will have a personal grudge against them. They are our fellow Indians after all." EPITOME OF BENEVOLENCE: CT Rajkamal of CRPF donated blood to save the life of a Naxal who suffered grievous injuries during the encounter which took place when the Naxals attacked a team of 209 CoBRA. Rajkamal said that he considered his duty to help a fellow Indian in need. pic.twitter.com/VNnIi8Qpub — ð®ð³CRPFð®ð³ (@crpfindia) February 5, 2019 We salute Constable Rajkamal and his spirit. If people start thinking the way he does, the world can become a better place to live in. Like the tweet reads, it is indeed an 'Epitome of Benevolence." People on Twitter can't stop showering praises for CT Rajkamal. Unparallel example of high human values https://t.co/x0eR4i2osI — Salil dudi (@DudiSalil) February 6, 2019 This is unheard ever and unprecedented.

After His Divorce, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Says A Newspaper Is Blackmailing Him With His Nude Pics
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
One of the biggest fears to live by in the man-made digital age, is fearing the leakage of classified or fragile information, from various digital mediums. A bigger fear than that is fearing the leakage of nude pictures that someone's ex may have of them, on a digital platform. Yes, we live in such a disruptive age, that it just takes a click for something like that ever happen. © Twitter Leaking someone's nudes digitally also makes for the best blackmail till date and it's a scary ordeal TBH. If you don't believe me, you can surely ask Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who actually chose to say 'no' to blackmail, only to wind up with a potential scandal in hand, after he publicly announced his divorce from his long-time wife MacKenzie. Bezos has publicly claimed that a local tabloid is blackmailing him with steamy leaked photos of him to his recent 'lover', and he definitely won't succumb to any form of blackmail, whatsoever. © Pintrest On a personal blog post, Besoz said that the 'National Enquirer' is threatening to publish his 'intimate photos' and that he has chosen to reveal the information about the threats rather than 'capitulate to extortion and blackmail'. The blog entry is titled 'No Thank you Mr. Pecker', and in it, Bezos is accusing the local tabloid of threatening him to publish intimate photos of him with Lauren Sanchez, the reporter with whom he was having an affair. I've written a post about developments with the National Enquirer and its parent company, AMI. You can find it here: https://t.co/G1ykJAPPwy — Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) 7 February 2019 Bezos believes the publication thinks the pictures were blackmail-worthy because they were perfect to tarnish the richest man's reputation amidst the Amazon stakeholders. Bezos has hired an investigator to further figure how the tabloid got hold of his intimate pictures in the first place. But the big question is, why would the National Enquirer blackmail him anyway? © Instagram According to Bezos, the parent company of the tabloid- American Media Inc. wants the Amazon chief to admit publicly that their investigation into his personal life was never "politically motivated or influenced by political forces". By now we all know the National Enquirer carried out a detailed investigation into Bezos' affair, which eventually led to his marriage ending, but we're not sure how any of it was influenced politically though. The National Enquirer claimed it had evidence that Bezos was "whisking his mistress off to exotic destinations on his $65 million private jet." "Something unusual happened to me yesterday. Actually, for me, it wasn't just unusual? - it was a first. I was made an offer I couldn't refuse. Or at least that's what the top people at the National Enquirer thought. I'm glad they thought that, because it emboldened them to put it all in writing," Bezos wrote. "Rather than capitulate to extortion and blackmail, I've decided to publish exactly what they sent me, despite the personal cost and embarrassment they threaten," Jeff Bezos states in his blog post. © Twitter The tabloid holds photos of Bezos in his briefs, naked selfies and an explicit dick picture. One of the emails sent to Bezos by AMI reads- "If your client agrees to cease and desist such defamatory behaviour, we are willing to engage in constructive conversations regarding the texts and photos which we have in our possession," To which Bezos replies, in his blog post "Well, that [the email] got my attention but not in the way they likely hoped. Any personal embarrassment AMI could cause me takes a back seat because there's a much more important matter involved here. If in my position I can't stand up to this kind of extortion, how many people can?" © Twitter As of now, Bezos has decided to run the risk of the tabloid leaking his nudes, in order to publicise the AMIs extortion practices and show the world how they really do business. I think it's a mighty brave move, Mr CEO. He adds- "Be assured, no real journalists ever propose anything like what is happening here. Nothing I might write here could tell the National Enquirer story as eloquently as their own words." -
Anushka Sharma Responds To Doppelganger Julia, Says She's Been Waiting For Her All This Time

They say there are six other people besides ourselves in this world, who can stand in as our doppelgangers on a given day. However, research has claimed that the likelihood of bumping into our doppelganger in a lifetime is only 1 in a trillion. Yet somehow, celebrities like Salman Khan seem to have gotten lucky in this case more than once! Now joining the bandwagon very recently are two other leading Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt and Anushka Sharma. Alia's lookalike Sanayaashu went viral with a video recreating a scene from Alia's upcoming movie 'Gully Boy' yesterday.

The American singer is said to share striking similarities with the 'Zero' actress, and it didn't take long for her fans to notice and go crazy over it.

It's yet another Friday, and while we are already prepping for the weekend that is rolling in with every passing minute, our plans to kickstart the weekend are already in place. With two most awaited (albeit shrouded in controversies) movies 'Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi' and 'Thackeray' hitting the theatres today, the most eventful plan would be to leave work early and hit the cinema hall. Which can always be followed up with good food and wine later, right? View this post on Instagram Zee Entertainment organises special screening of #Manikarnika -The Queen Of Jhansi for the Hon'ble President of India tomorrow at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre along with #KanganaRanaut and the team. The magnum opus gets its first honour! Releasing on 25th January. A post shared by ManikarnikaTheFilm (@manikarnikafilm) on Jan 17, 2019 at 9:15am PST But of course before you do that, you would want to be sure that your time and money would be worth the risk. We get you, and that is exactly why we decided to bring you the initial reviews for Kangana Ranaut starrer 'Manikarnika' which is based on the life and times of Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi, and her stupendous resistance and fight against the British. View this post on Instagram #Repost @missmalini • • • The teaser of Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi will be released on Gandhi Jayanti - a day when we celebrate the indomitable spirit of freedom fighters like Mahatma Gandhi. Rani Laxmi Bai has been one of the first, fiercest warrior queens, who fought for independence against the British army. So the makers felt this would be the apt day to launch the teaser of the film that captures the historic life story of Rani Lakshmi Bai. Kangana Ranaut looks gorgeous in this still from the movie. I can't wait to watch the teaser! - @swagatadam, Bollywood Junkie ð·Follow @missmalinibollywood for your filmy fixâ¨ð¹ . . . . . #kanganaranaut #Actress #Manikarnika #Bollywood #moviestars A post shared by ManikarnikaTheFilm (@manikarnikafilm) on Sep 29, 2018 at 1:18am PDT These initial Twitter reviews from real movie-goers will help you decide for yourself if this film is worth your Friday evening. However, from what we gathered so far, movie-goers are in absolute awe of Kangana's portrayal of this powerful historical figure, while some have even claimed that this film will be Kangana's crowning glory and lead her to win a National Award. Ankita Lokhande, who makes her Bollywood debut with this film, and will be seen portraying the role of Jhalkari Bai, has also caught people's attention with her performance. The audience has especially appreciated the screenplay and action sequence of the film, though some have also pointed out that the rising action of the film is slow to start in the first half of the film. With a killer story, stellar direction and performances from the likes of Suresh Oberoi, Atul Kulkarni, Danny Denzongpa and Jisshu Sengupta in key roles, this one indeed seems like a blockbuster in the making. #ManikarnikaReview One can't refrain oneself from praising the lead lady #KanganaRanaut, She is nailing her role with perfection. But one more person who's grabbing my attention is @anky1912 as JhalkariBai. ðð She's looking fab & nailing her character.â¤#Manikarnika — Durgansh Dixit (@DurganshDixit) January 25, 2019 Slow but extremely powerful, can't understand that pointð¤ Well, Film makers are not magician, better we sud avoid mini-mistake.
