It was not a good day at the office for the Australian Cricket team as they lost to India by 36 runs at The Oval in London in match 14 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. A marvellously paced century from Shikhar Dhawan, a well-made 82 from skipper Virat Kohli and cameos from Hardik Pandya and MS Dhoni led to a superlative batting performance that was enough for Team India to grab a second consecutive victory at the World Cup. © Twitter-cricketworldcup It was, however, the Indian skipper's outstanding sportsmanship that grabbed headlines after the game. During the first innings, when Kohli was batting in the middle, he noticed a large section of fans showing dissent towards Australian batsman Steve Smith and took matters into his own hands as he can be seen gesturing to the crowd to applaud Smith instead of booing him. The gesture was appreciated by not only Smith and the rest of the Australian team, but also from fans of cricket across the world. With India fans giving Steve Smith a tough time fielding in the deep, @imVkohli suggested they applaud the Australian instead. Absolute class ð #SpiritOfCricket #ViratKohli pic.twitter.com/mmkLoedxjr — ICC (@ICC) June 9, 2019 After last year's ball-tampering scandal, Smith and fellow australian David Warner have established themselves as the villains of international cricket. Having served a 12-month ban handed to them by Cricket Australia, they still cannot seem to break that image of themselves as they return to International Cricket. Speaking at a press conference after the game , the Indian Skipper mentioned that despite the fact that him and Smith have had altercations on the field in the past, he does not appreciate seeing something like that on the cricketing field. “If I was in a position where something had happened with me, and I'd apologised and accepted it, and came back and still I would get booed, I wouldn't like it either.”#ViratKohli on why he asked the fans to stop booing Steve Smith. #CWC19 | #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/CIMicjoSA0 — Cricket World Cup (@cricketworldcup) June 9, 2019 Kohli said “even in the IPL I saw him (get booed by fans), it's not good to see someone down like that.” Urging fans to forget about Smith's mistake in the past he then went on to say that “just because there's a lot of Indian fans in the crowd, I don't want to see them set a bad example.” India are well on their way to make a mark in this year's World Cup as they look to extend their run of consecutive victories against New Zealand on 13th June at Trent Bridge. As the Indian Team continues to raise the bar in terms of top order batting, death bowling and fielding; the Indian captain is showing how they are raising the standard for sportsmanship as well. All things said and done, it was an incredible gesture which will not be forgotten by Smith or Australian cricket fans anytime soon. -
Shot On A Smartphone, Jameela Jamil's Body Positive Cover Sets New Industry Standards
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
If your life revolves around Instagram, you must have already seen the first look of Harper Bazaar's May cover featuring the gorgeous, British actress Jameela Jamil. View this post on Instagram Our May cover âï¸ @jameelajamilofficial walks the talk: An unapologetic advocate for body positivity, with a following of nearly two million, she shoots her first-ever cover in India—and the images are not filtered or digitally altered.

What makes this magazine cover different from any other? Well there are two reasons. First, the cover stands for body positivity, and as you all know Jameela has always been an unapologetic advocate for body positivity who insisted her photographs are sans any sort of digital retouching or airbrushing. It has to be as authentic as it gets, just like her. View this post on Instagram “I think women, particularly, have been discouraged from showing self-pride, whereas it is respected in men. We're shamed about feeling anything other than grateful for any opportunity we earn. And it's time to take back the power. One of the reasons I don't smile in my photos is because I feel like I'm told to smile all the time by men. Otherwise I'm not likable.

The OnePlus 7 launch will take place in three cities simultaneously i.e New York, London and Bangalore on 14th May at 8:15 PM IST. Going by the photos from the shoot, it is safe to say that OnePlus 7 Pro's camera will be a total gamechanger.

We cannot wait for the launch to happen, and those of who you can't make it to the event, you can live stream it here. -
A BTS Video From The Sets Of 'Avengers: Endgame' Shows The Reality Of The Epic Final Battle
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Spoilers. Kinda. Everything 'Avengers: Endgame' related has been a secret for the longest time, just because of how important of a movie it is. From manipulating the trailers to not even giving the actors entire scripts, the Russo Brothers did everything in their power to keep everything under wraps. But, there will always be rebels. This time, it was Chris Pratt. It's pretty understandable why no one would be allowed to film anything while on the set of the biggest Marvel movie ever, but obviously, the actors know how to sneak around and do something 'illegal'. Remember the whole 'Infinity War' is the biggest crossover ever? Well, it ain't got nothing on 'Endgame' because 'Infinity War' had all the actors, but the actors and their characters never shared any screen time together. Now, in 'Endgame', for people who've seen it, watched literally everyone come together and fight the giant purple grape. So, when they shot the final battle, it was probably the only time every MCU character was together and it's such a rare moment, of course. To remember that once-in-a-lifetime moment, Chris Pratt recorded a secret video of everyone on the set. View this post on Instagram I remember being blown away in this moment on the @avengers set. Nobody was allowed to film anything on their phones. I said screw it. No rule was going to stop me from seizing this once in a lifetime opportunity to capture this collection of stars, a groupthat likely will never be in the same room again. We are so blessed. A post shared by chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) on Apr 29, 2019 at 12:57am PDT Thank you, Chris, but sorry, you're still my least favourite Chris. Chris Evans being a cutie in the video will obviously take the top spot. He wrote in the caption, “I remember being blown away in this moment on the Avengers set. Nobody was allowed to film anything on their phones. I said screw it. No rule was going to stop me from seizing this once in a lifetime opportunity to capture this collection of stars, a group that likely will never be in the same room again.

Whenever we think about star kids, we think about the privileges and luxuries they get in life. "Oh, they have everything sorted for them, they have it so easy," is something we often hear people say. But, in all honesty, being born to a famous parent does not mean that the star kids are some mythical characters, who live in a parallel dimension or universe. They pretty much live a normal life, eat regular food and take the public transport, just like everyone else. Sounds impossible? Well, then maybe it's just Karan Deol, Sunny Deol's son who is living a regular life. View this post on Instagram #sunnydeol son #karandeol snapped at andheri- ghatkoapar metro ride.

We are all aware of how hard the Indian Cricket Team is gearing up right now for the upcoming World Cup 2019 that begins in May, however, there are two other people who are also working on their batting skills. We're talking about Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan. © Instagram Katrina and Salman are currently filming their upcoming project, 'Bharat' and whenever the two get time, they start playing cricket with the crew. Honestly, watching the two playing on the film's sets can make anyone think that they are working on a sports biopic, but that's just their way of chilling after pack up. Earlier, Salman had posted the video of him playing cricket, with the caption "Bharat khelega..." View this post on Instagram Bharat Khelega... #onlocationstories @bharat_thefilm A post shared by Salman Khan (@beingsalmankhan) on Jan 13, 2019 at 7:50am PST Today, Katrina posted a video of her playing cricket and let's admit it, she's pretty good at the sport. In fact, Katrina is so confident of her batting skills that she even asked her 'Zero' co-star Anushka Sharma to put in a small word for her to the team's captain, Virat Kohli. She wrote, "Pack up ke baad at Bharat sets, as the world cup nears. Anushka Sharma, perhaps you could put in a small word for me with the captain of the team. Some room for improvement in my swing, but overall not a bad all-rounder."

No, you won't find him in the video because he's not physically present in the video. It's his song 'Apna Time Aayega' from 'Gully Boy' that is playing in the video. While Anushka Sharma hasn't replied to the video yet, looks like Preity Zinta already wants to take Katrina in her IPL team. She wrote, "Wow, we should hire you" and Katrina replied saying, "Do it, come on let me play." © Instagram 'Bharat' is said to be based on a Korean movie called 'An Ode To My Father' and is expected to release in June 2019.

Twitter Reacts To SRK's 'Zero' & Sets The Scale On Neutral, Says Not Worth The Hype
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
One of the most anticipated movies of the year, 'Zero', starring Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan, and two of B-town's most popular actresses Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, hit the big screens across the country this morning. And much like all things trending across the globe, the initial reactions and reviews for the movie have started pouring in on Twitter. The initial reactions seem like a mixed bag with some moviegoers even calling it a disappointment. Yet, people have good things to say about SRK's performance as Bauua Singh and Anushka's portrayal of a scientist with cerebral palsy. However, as many enthusiasts expected post the release of the song Heer Badnaam yesterday, Katrina seems to have delivered one of the best performances of her career yet. Tabloids so far have gone as low as a 1-star rating for the movie, such as The Quint and The Indian Express, while others likes NDTV, Times Now and Mumbai Mirror have given the movie two stars. So far the average movie rating boils down to a 3 out of 5 for 'Zero'. But let's see what the rest of the day, and the weekend ahead holds for SRK, Anushka and Katrina.

Chris Evans Talks About The Last Line He Spoke As Captain America On The Sets Of 'Avengers 4'
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
While we're still lucky to get to see Chris Evans as Captain America on the big screen one more time, the actor has officially retired from playing this iconic character. It was a sad day for all of us when he tweeted an emotional tribute to Cap. Officially wrapped on Avengers 4. It was an emotional day to say the least. Playing this role over the last 8 years has been an honor. To everyone in front of the camera, behind the camera, and in the audience, thank you for the memories! Eternally grateful. — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) October 4, 2018 Now, Chris has also opened up about what his last day on set was like, so yeah, it's final, he really will be gone after 'Avengers 4'. Talking about his last day on set, he said, “That last day of filming really was a very emotional day. It was the culmination of almost 10 years of filming and 22 movies — this unbelievable tapestry — and you feel a lot more emotions than I think even I thought I'd feel, and I felt it was appropriate to share the gratitude. I know it had a ripple effect, but I am neither confirming nor denying anything.” He has played this amazing character for years but turns out, his final scene as Cap was nothing special. It was a reshoot, some minor scene that needed fixing. That's a little disappointing but it's okay; I'm sure he has so many more memories playing the character that will stay with him always. He even went on to say his last line was not that proud of a moment. He said, “It was something really stupid, it was something really dumb. Which I also probably can't give away. Well, you know, it was reshoots, so you're doing these little picks and pops, and it's just little things that they need. It might have been a line to Paul Rudd. He wasn't there, but it was a stupid line. The line wasn't memorable to me [laughs]. The day was more memorable than the line.” Well, it still sounds exciting to me! We should all try to figure out which line it was when the movie is finally out next year. Also, I'm just going to leave this here. chris evans on his first day on set and on his last shoot ð pic.twitter.com/KMEkztvcI8 — captain* (@iamgeekingout) October 13, 2018 Coming back to Chris' tweet, he promised everyone he did not, in any way, give away any spoilers. Yes people, he's not Mark Ruffalo or Tom Holland, he's a part of the small group of actors who get the entire script beforehand. Let's all begin preparing for Captain America making his last appearance in MCU now. Goodbye Cap, we'll miss you! -
Indian Wheelchair Cricket Team Sets An Example For Rohit Sharma & Co After Beating Pakistan
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
India and Pakistan share a rivalry like no other in international cricket. The two countries absolutely love cricket, and whenever they lock horns, it creates a unique aura, both inside and outside the stadium. It is cricket's most lucrative draw, aged perfectly on the back of bittersweet memories of previous encounters. Whether it's the 2011 World Cup semifinal between the two teams attracting over 988 million viewers, or the fact that the tickets for their 2015 World Cup match were sold out within 12 minutes, the Indo-Pak rivalry generates a lot of excitement amongst anxious fans as there is never a dull moment in the match. Thus, when the fixtures of the 2018 Asia Cup were revealed, there was no surprise to see India's group stage clash against Pakistan standing out amongst the rest. The fans marked the date on their respective calendars and patiently waited for the 'mother of all battles' to arrive. But, while the Asia Cup fixture garnered all the spotlight, there was an equally important clash which seems to have now set the tone for today's mega battle. © Reuters Far away from the spotlight and fanfare, India's wheelchair cricket team donning the iconic blue jersey was getting ready for a battle of their own against the arch-rivals in the 2018 Friendship Cup that is also being played in UAE. While the more popular cricket side from Pakistan - led by Sarfraz Ahmed - is expected to give Rohit Sharma's men a run for their money, their wheelchair team couldn't stand the test of the Somjeet Singh-led Indian brigade. India won the first match by 89 Runs against Pakistan at Indo-Pak T-20 #WheelchairCricket Series, Friendship Cup 2018 at EGC Ground, Ajman, UAE. India-181/7 in 20 Over Pak-92/10 in 16 Over.@ANI @PTI_News @timesofindia @htTweets @TimesNow @aajtak @CNNnews18 @ZeeNews @ndtv @BCCI pic.twitter.com/9xyx8Fw0Zs — Indian Wheelchair Cricket (@WChairCricketIN) September 18, 2018 Batting first, the Indian wheelchair cricket team posted a competitive total of 181/7 in the allotted quota of 20 overs. In reply, Pakistan needed strong partnerships but couldn't negate India's bowling attack before eventually getting bowled out for a mere 92 runs in 16 overs. The Indian team, without breaking much sweat, romped their way to an emphatic 89-run win Their victory might not have garnered the kind of spotlight Rohit's men would get, but Somjeet-led side surely set an example for the more popular cricket team of India ahead of their much-anticipated clash against Pakistan in the Asia Cup today. Team India will be facing Sarfraz Ahmed & co after a span of 15 months since their heart-breaking loss to the same opponent in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final. Defending a formidable total of 338 runs, Pakistan's pace battery ran through India's batting line-up and eventually recorded a memorable 180-run triumph in England. © Reuters Led by Rohit, India will surely be eager to avenge the Champions Trophy final loss but it's not going to be easy. The absence of Virat Kohli in the line-up is always going to be a drawback and the threat that Pakistan's pace battery poses is something the 'Men in Blue' will be wary of. But, having said that, India still has match-winners in Shikhar Dhawan, MS Dhoni and Rohit. And, when it comes to bowling, the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar add teeth to their attack. Though it's quite hard to predict whether the defending champions will come out on top or we'll see a repeat of Champions Trophy final, the Indian wheelchair cricket team's recent triumph over Pakistan has surely set an example for Rohit and his teammates, ahead of their thrilling group-stage clash in Asia Cup today. -

Sergio Ramos' Reunion With Mohamed Salah At The UEFA Awards Ceremony Sets Social Media Ablaze
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Not very long ago, Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos stirred up a massive storm that saw him being labelled as 'the dirtiest player' in modern-day football. It was the night of the UEFA Champions League final, where Madrid were busy containing Liverpool when Ramos arm-wrestled the Reds forward Mohamed Salah to the ground. Salah left the field with tears in his eyes and a dislocated shoulder. Liverpool lost the game 1-3 as the Los Blancos romped to their 13th Champions League title in May. But, the controversy continued with Ramos and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp exchanging words long after the game through social media and press conferences. On 30th August, the controversial challenge by Ramos once again thronged the social media after he met Salah at the UEFA Awards ceremony. Sitting at an arm's length, both the footballers looked awkward since it was the first time post their physical clash that they had come face-to-face. “Remember me?” ðpic.twitter.com/U4ZVhZ7PAW — B/R Football (@brfootball) August 30, 2018 However, things got super weird when Ramos was named the 2017/18 Champions League defender of the season. After collecting his award, Ramos came down from the stage and right before taking his seat, he tapped Salah on the same shoulder that got injured. While Ramos was probably looking to break the ice with his gesture, the netizens across the social media came up with their own explanation.

ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Shah Rukh Khan has yet again proved that he is not only one of the greatest actors in Bollywood and a global icon, but he is also a great human being who actively works towards the welfare of the society. Instagram On days when he is not busy making people fall for his infectious charm and hilariously witty one-liners, SRK is busy donning the hat of a philanthropist, humanitarian and founder of a non-profit organization Meer Foundation. Unless you were living under an imaginary rock all this time, you will know that the World Economic Forum even honoured him with the 24th Crystal Award at the beginning of this year. Meer Foundation provides support to acid attack survivors through medical treatment, legal aid, rehabilitation and vocational training. This time around too, in order to provide best quality treatment to the acid attack survivors, the NGO has decided to organize the following initiatives. Reuters Reportedly, SRK's foundation has planned to organize a plastic surgery camp followed by specialized eye surgery camp along with Atijeevan Foundation and New Hope Hospital. It was held in Chennai on July 13 and the surgeries are expected to take place on July 15. The initiative started by Atijeevan Foundation in partnership with SRK's NGO has already provided surgeries to over 40 survivors. “We at Meer Foundation have always been striving to provide a helping hand to the strong acid attack survivors. Through our journey over the years, we have tried to make a difference to empower the women who have faced the traumatic experience in their lives,” Venky Mysore from Red Chillies Entertainment said. Reuters He further added, “Apart from the mental trauma, the victims are also subjected to extreme physical sufferings and are often void of facilities to treat the same. Through Meer, we try to take away the financial burden of the victims, thereby providing them with facilities to live a better and happier life with every initiative, we envision growing our universe to facilitate a number of women.” Twitter In 2016, SRK even gave the survivors a special surprise by visiting them and spending time with them around Diwali. This initiative proves why Shah Rukh Khan deserves all the love and respect he gets from his fans and why he was and will always be the king of our hearts. Source: The Times Of India -
