Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat Titans were the only invincible side heading into their last night’s league game but this tag was snatched away by Kane Williamson’s SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. After notching up a hat-trick of wins in their first three encounters, the IPL debutants saw their winning run halted by a spirited SRH side that handed them a eight-wicket defeat in a lop-sided contest. View this post on Instagram Batting first, Gujarat Titans finished with a decent but below par-score of 162 for seven, thanks to a slow but crucial fifty from their captain, who finished on unbeaten 50 off 42 balls. The Gujarat Titans bowlers knew to defend a moderate total like this they would have to bowl out of their skin. But sadly, none of them came to the party and they eventually lost the match quite convincingly, opening their account in the defeats section. It was a game of small margins and it was natural that tempers ran high. There was a moment when Mohammed Shami dropped a catch off Hardik’s bowling and the GT captain shouted at his fast-bowling spearhead in quite an aggressive manner. Dear Hardik, you are a terrible captain. Stop taking it out on your teammates, particularly someone as senior as Shami. #IPL #IPL2022 #GTvsSRH pic.twitter.com/9yoLpslco7 — Bodhisattva #DalitLivesMatter (@insenroy) April 11, 2022 The 28-year-old yelling at one of the senior most players in his squad evoked mixed reactions on the internet, with some criticising Pandya’s deplorable behaviour, while others supporting his actions. It’s crazy that we ask a captain to deal with senior and junior separayely. It’s a game and anyone can ask a team member to go extra mile. — Bijay (@mangaraj5) April 12, 2022It’s crazy that we ask a captain to deal with senior and junior separayely. It’s a game and anyone can ask a team member to go extra mile. — Bijay (@mangaraj5) April 12, 2022If he is too senior let him retire. Fielding sets the game. So.. — Devprasad E (@EDevSun) April 12, 2022He too shouted on miller the same way when he got run out when it was only his mistake A terrible captain — Sudhanshu kumar (@Sudhans96457458) April 12, 2022The Hardik supporters argued that anyone who makes a fielding mistake, irrespective of their status in the team, must be held accountable for their lapses and the GT skipper was doing just that. Not at all an example of good leadership.. look at @kanewilliamson1 @KaneWilliamson2 whose team mate dropped 3 catches and he was just smiling and that's enough to boost teammates confidence.@MdShami11 he's a senior player and deserves respect for what he has done last night. — #unter R@j@t (@Rajat_Duggal) April 12, 2022Hardik should have discipline first any sports what ever may be the situation you should be clam and composed being a captain abusing a senior wouldn't win you games i appreciate MS and Kane for their leadership just clam cool that's the reason now they are so successful — RaFï (@ShaikRa59929408) April 11, 2022Captaincy seems to have gone into his head . Shami is their strike bowler and let him not mess with him — DrA JaganMohanReddy (@Jaganmo05121164) April 12, 2022There were many people who bashed Hardik’s behaviour and urged him to learn from players like MS Dhoni and Kane Williamson who always maintain a cool and calm demeanour, no matter what and that’s why people love and admire them so much. This was not the first time Hardik has lashed out at one of his senior players. In their match against Punjab Kings, the Baroda all-rounder was seen fuming at South Africa’s David Miller after his own mistake got him runout in the final over. View this post on Instagram Leading an IPL franchise for the first time, Hardik has done a great job so far but shouting at his own players has made him a devil in the eyes of many fans. If he wants to be a successful leader he must learn how to channelise his anger. View the full article

After dating each other for several years, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are now all set to take their relationship to the next level. As per the ongoing buzz, the much-in-love couple is going to exchange wedding vows this week, between 14 and 17 April. While the lovebirds are yet to make an official announcement, several reports suggest that they will get married in the presence of their families and close friends at the Sanju star's residence in Mumbai. View this post on Instagram While several popular celebrities, who are close to Ranbir and Alia, are expected to be a part of their big day, KRK has trolled Sidharth Malhotra for not getting an invitation to the wedding of his Student of The Year co-star. Taking to social media, KRK took a dig at Sidharth for fighting with him once for Alia and stated that she hasn't invited him for her marriage. Well, that's what KRK has claimed as there's still no confirmation about the wedding guestlist. View this post on Instagram KRK tweeted, "Once #SidhartMalhotra did fight with me for #AliaBhatt. Now Alia didn’t invite him for her marriage. Aukaat Pata Chal Gayee Naa Beta. Dhobi Ka Kutta Ghar Ka Naa Ghaat Ka". Take a look at his tweet below: Once #SidhartMalhotra did fight with me for #AliaBhatt. Now Alia didn’t invite him for her marriage. Aukaat Pata Chal Gayee Naa Beta. Dhobi Ka Kutta Ghar Ka Naa Ghaat Ka. — KRK (@kamaalrkhan) April 11, 2022 We wonder how Sidharth would react to it. For the unversed, Sidharth and Alia worked together in hits like Student of The Year and Kapoor & Sons. Back then, reports suggested that they were dating each other. They later parted ways for unknown reasons and have maintained a distance from each other since then. Post Kapoor & Sons, they have not even worked together till now. However, Alia and Sidharth never talked about their alleged love affair in public. Coming back to the wedding, Ranbir and Alia will likely host a grand reception towards the end of April for their industry friends and they have already sent invitations to many big Bollywood celebs including Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, and Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone. Well, only time will tell if they have invited Sidharth or not. View the full article

Male models on your Instagram feed seem to be blessed with full, leonine hair but to you—a man who’s trying to keep up with his thinning hair—the world of style feels somewhat inhospitable. The size of your paycheck and the size of your ***** are also keeping some of you up at night. But are you sure that’s what your girl is thinking about? Just to clear your doubts, we asked five women what they feel about some of the most common insecurities men have. 1. “Muscles, baby. A good portion of us doesn’t give a shit about that.”“I respected my ex’s passion for his muscles but hated the fact that everything else—our relationship, work, emotions, home—could never become his priority. I like maintaining a balance between healthy and fried food but I shied away from eating it in front of him. I felt alienated. I didn’t fall for him because of his muscles. It was his willingness to commit that got me hooked. I ended up marrying a guy with a personality that complemented my entire life not just my body.” __ECOMPRODUCT__3237__ 2. “I never noticed his ***** size until my boyfriend asked me about it.”“By the age of 28, I had dated a few guys and one thing that was common in everyone was their concern about the ***** size. I tried to tell them that as long as I am emotionally involved with you, I will always have fun in bed. It doesn’t have much to do with the size. I enjoyed the closeness. They still felt insecure so I clearly failed at convincing them but I hope I am conveying it clearly enough that it’s not the size of your *****, it’s the level of intimacy and technique that makes a difference. If a girl feels free to do and say anything to you when you’re in bed, you’re golden” __ECOMPRODUCT__2228__ 3. “I still don’t understand the whole alpha male situation.”“I like guys who tell me about their feelings, their problems. It makes me feel involved. Being a part of my boy’s life, that’s all I want. I don’t care who pays the bills. Sure, I want to feel safe when I’m with my man but overprotectiveness, stubbornness and insecurity are the enemies of a long term relationship.” __ECOMPRODUCT__1026__ 4. “When I fell for him, I didn’t think about his skin tone even for a split second.”“My husband often jokes about the fact that I must have wanted to end up with a fair guy. But sometimes I worry he might be seriously thinking about it. Might sound cheesy but I just felt like he was my home when I met him the first time. I saw a future with him. I could picture myself having kids with this man. I never, ever thought about his colour. I can see that he feels insecure but it’s not what girls are noticing, trust me.” __ECOMPRODUCT__2306__ 5. “My husband is shorter than me and it bothers him. Not me.”“I’m a tall woman and I have been blessed enough to not experience any uninvited comments because of that. My, now husband, then boss and boyfriend, was so uncomfortable that he was shorter than me. It's not like he wanted me to stop wearing heels or anything but I could see it bothered him. Right before our wedding, he gave me the last chance to break up and all I could say was that I love him more than that. I didn’t care how people saw us. I saw him as mine. The first thing I noticed about him was his leadership skills. He cared for his team. It was never the height.” __ECOMPRODUCT__3238__ The BottomlineThe issues that are keeping you up at night might not be the ones most girls are noticing. So chillax! Are there any other common insecurities not mentioned in the list? Tell me in the comments below. Explore More View the full article

Back in 2018, the #MeToo movement had gained momentum in India, to name and shame sexual offenders. In a shocking turn of events, various known celebrities including Alok Nath, Sajid Khan, Nana Patekar, and Vikas Bahl, among others were accused of sexual harassment by women. However, the movement soon fizzled out and most of the accused big names in Bollywood were not proven guilty. While some of the alleged offenders chose to stay away from the industry, others dived back into work sooner than expected. Several directors, who were accused in the #MeTooIndia but weren't proven guilty, too decided to move on and signed big stars for their projects. Let's take a look at the list of Bollywood actresses who are currently working with directors, once accused of sexual harassment: 1. Shraddha Kapoor (Luv Ranjan's next) View this post on Instagram Shraddha is playing the lead role in director Luv Ranjan's untitled film, starring Ranbir Kapoor as the main lead. For the unversed, an actress in 2018 had claimed that Ranjan harassed her after she was called for an audition for Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011). However, the director denied all allegations and issued an apology in case his actions hurt anyone. The Ranbir-Shraddha film is among the most-awaited films and is slated to hit the theatres next year, on March 8, 2023. 2. Kriti Sanon (Vikas Bahl's Ganapath) View this post on Instagram Kriti Sanon, whose latest release Bachchhan Paandey turned out to be a failure at the box office, is a part of Vikas Bahl's Ganapath. Interestingly, Bahl was accused of sexual assault in October 2018, in the wake of the #MeTooIndia movement. The complainant had alleged that the Queen director had sexually assaulted her in 2015, and Anurag Kashyap had ignored her complaint back then. However, later in 2019, he was given a clean chit in the matter. Talking about his next release, Ganapath: Part 1, the film stars Tiger Shroff opposite Kriti. It marks their reunion on the big screen after a gap of 8 years post their debut film Heropanti (2014). The movie is scheduled to release later this year, on December 23. 3. Huma Qureshi (Subhash Kapoor's Maharani 2) View this post on Instagram In 2014, Subhash Kapoor was accused of sexually abusing actress Geetika Tyagi, and the claims resurfaced in 2018 as part of a wave of MeToo allegations against famous men in Bollywood. Back then, Aamir Khan, who was supposed to do Mogul with Kapoor, backed out of the project since the filmmaker was facing allegations of sexual misconduct. However, later in 2019, he reversed his decision and made a comeback in the biopic of late music mogul Gulshan Kumar stating that he was troubled as his action might have cost the filmmaker his right to work. As soon as the movement fizzled out, Subhash moved on and directed Madam Chief Minister with Richa Chaddha and Maharani starring Huma Qureshi. After the success of Maharani, Huma has again teamed up with the director for its sequel, which is expected to premiere soon. 4. Taapsee Pannu (Rajkumar Hirani's next) View this post on Instagram All hell broke loose for PK helmer Rajkumar Hirani when he was accused of sexual misconduct by a woman who worked with him on Sanju (2017). However, during the difficult time, celebs like Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt showed their support for him. He too denied the allegations and his lawyer Anand Desai termed them "false, mischievous, scandalous, motivated and defamatory". Since then, he hasn't announced his next project, however, various reports suggest that he's teaming up with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for a film. While an official announcement is still awaited, Taapsee Pannu is rumoured to be playing the leading lady in it. The upcoming film marks Hirani's first project post the whole controversy. Also, it is going to be Taapsee's first film with both Hirani and SRK. View the full article

The Bollywood industry, with all its money, fame, and glamour, is a very competitive place to be. This means that there is a lot riding on and as a result, there may be fragile egos and flared tempers at any given time. Unfortunately, some Bollywood stars have come to the receiving end of it and have gone through the humiliation of being slapped in public. 1. Salman Khan © Instagram/Salman Khan Salman is known to take no nonsense from anyone, however, in 2009, a daughter of a Delhi businessman barged into the Tiger 3 actor's private party and slapped him in front of everyone. It was also reported that the girl also abused Sushmita Sen and Sohail Khan at the same party. However, Salman kept a cool head and the girl was escorted out by his bodyguards. 2. Ranbir Kapoor © Instagram/Ranbir Kapoor Unfortunately, this incident too involved Salman, however, according to reports, Ranbir was at the receiving end of this one. Ranbir, who is all set to get married to Alia Bhatt at the moment, was reportedly in a renowned pub in Mumbai along with Salman. As per reports, the incident occurred before Ranbir's Bollywood debut, with the actor getting into a war of words with Salman, after which the Pathan actor ended up slapping him. It was later reported that Salman's father Salim Khan called a truce with Ranbir's late father Rishi Kapoor. 3. Sunny Deol © Prime Video Imagine going up against the Dhai-Kilo Ka Haath of Sunny Paaji! Well, according to reports, Soha Ali Khan and Sunny Deol had been shooting for a sequence of Ghayal Once Again, which was a sequel to the 1990 blockbuster Ghayal. It was reported that there was a slapping scene in the film with Soha and Sunny. According to reports, Soha ended up getting too involved in the character and ended up slapping Sunny, leaving the actor shocked. 4. Shah Rukh Khan © Twitter One of the most infamous Bollywood clashes included Shah Rukh Khan slapping Farah Khan's husband Shirish Kunder. It was reported that Shirish pushed SRK to the edge before King Khan took the step of pulling his hair and slapping him. According to reports, things were so bad that Sanjay Dutt had to intervene to pull a stop. 5. Amrita Rao © Instagram/Amrita Rao On the sets of Pyaare Mohan (2006) Esha Deol and Amrita Rao got into an altercation with the former slapping the latter. Later, while speaking to TOI, Esha said, "Yes, I slapped Amrita. One day after pack-up, she abused me in front of my director, Indra Kumar, and my cameraman and I thought that was totally out of line. To protect my self-respect and dignity, in the heat of the moment, I slapped her. I have no regrets because she totally deserved it for her behaviour towards me at that point in time." 6. Gauhar Khan © Instagram/Gauhar Khan The Big Boss star is a big social media presence, however, it was while shooting for a show that she had to undergo a horrible encounter. According to reports, Gauhar was once slapped in an interview by one of her fans. It was reported that the man was disgusted that Gauhar had been wearing a short dress and went past the security to assault the actress. View the full article

You think breaking up over a text is bad? Well, ghosting is worse. It is the worst form of rejection when someone abruptly stops responding to your texts. No clarification. No explanation. They simply vanish. Was it something you said? Did she find someone else? Is she friends with your ex? There are many reasons why someone may have ghosted on you and there’s no point in taking it personally. In fact, you must have ghosted on some of your matches too. Instead of beating yourself up about it, you need to know why they ghosted in the first place. It could be them, but it could also be something you said or the way you behaved. Here are some of the most common turn-offs for women that make them ghost on men. Read on and don’t forget to make notes: 1. Casual Sexism Or MisogynySexism is bad and misogyny is worse. Whether you’re giving her unsolicited opinions on her style, her makeup or her career, you need to stop. Avoid saying things like ‘I like women with no makeup’ or ‘ you look better in a dress than in jeans’. __ECOMPRODUCT__2306__ We all grew up with patriarchy embedded in our society so there’s some deep-rooted sexism in each one of us. But instead of projecting it on others, try to be more understanding and avoid commenting on anyone’s personal choices. 2. Being Too NeedyIf you’re really into someone, it’s easy to get anxious waiting for them to text back. But you have to fight the urge of sending her back to back ‘hey’ texts. This can make you seem too needy and turn her off. Think about it, if someone was texting you back to back, wouldn’t you feel annoyed? __ECOMPRODUCT__3236__ 3. Being Too PushyIf she says that she prefers meeting at a restaurant instead of coming over, listen to her. There’s no point pushing her to meet you because that will only push her away. Respecting her boundaries is the only way of making her feel safe. More so, can you really blame her for being too cautious? __ECOMPRODUCT__3164__ 4. Excessive SextingDid she start the sexting? Did she reciprocate your sexts? If the answer to both these questions is no, you need to stop. You may be in the mood to sext, but she’s not. If you continue to be pushy about it, she is likely to get uncomfortable and ghost. No means no and silence also means no, be it on a dating app or in real life. 5. You Met & There Was No ChemistryIt’s not your fault and it’s not hers. Sometimes, you simply don’t hit it off. Instead of chasing her, move on and match with someone new. Who knows, you may find someone who is actually compatible with you and you end up talking for hours with her. __ECOMPRODUCT__1583__ Happy Dating! Now, that you know about the most common reasons for ghosting, you probably have a much better understanding of modern women. Keep it simple and real and you’re sure to find a match in no time.

Going to a stadium to watch your favourite team or your favourite player taking on their fierce rival is a treat that most sports fanatics want to enjoy. The stadium organisers also leave no stone unturned in making this experience a memorable one by providing the fans with the best facilities, that too without burning a deep hole into their pocket. But in the end, sports is a multibillion-dollar business and it’s another medium through which the rich people get even richer. For that, they try everything. View this post on Instagram From introducing limited edition memorabilia to launching special edition kits, they do everything to make people splash their cash (or cards or whatever). They know that people have strong attachments with their favourite sports teams and they wouldn’t think twice before spending money on things that make them happy internally. It doesn’t even matter if that product is overpriced. The Atlanta Braves are selling a 'World Champions Burger' that has all the fixings! For $151, you also get a replica World Series ring with your order. OR For $25,000, it comes with a limited-edition World Series ring. (: @FOX5Atlanta) pic.twitter.com/lbNTYf5uQy — TSN (@TSN_Sports) April 5, 2022 Tapping into this very realm of the human psyche, the Atlanta Braves, a professional baseball team in the US, has launched special ‘World Champions Burgers’ priced at Rs 25 lakh ($33,000). Yes, you read that right! To take a bite of this burger the fans have to shell out Rs 25 lakh which is way more than what majority of Indians earn in the whole year. Don’t worry people, there is a ‘cheaper’ version of this burger which is comparatively way more affordable. So, ready for the price? This burger will cost fans Rs 11,457 ($151). View this post on Instagram Now, you must be wondering what's so special about these burgers that they cost so much. Well, as the name suggests these are no ordinary burgers. These burgers were launched to commemorate the world series title that Atlanta Braves won last year. Those going for the ultra-expensive burger would get a limited edition world championship ring and those opting for the ‘cheaper’ option would get only a replica of the World Series ring. In case you were wondering what all ingredients would be used to prepare these burgers. A sports business analyst named Darren Rovell listed out all the ingredients that will go into preparing the cheapest of the two available options. Burger that Braves are selling for $151: A Wagyu beef patty with cage-free pan-fried eggs, gold-leaf-wrapped foie gras, grilled cold water lobster tail, heirloom tomato, Tillamook cheddar cheese and truffle aioli on a toasted, buttered bun served with Parmesan waffle fries. pic.twitter.com/wlcUF6oe2O — Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) April 6, 2022 “Wagyu beef patty with cage-free pan-fried eggs, gold-leaf-wrapped foie gras, grilled cold water lobster tail, heirloom tomato, Tillamook cheddar cheese and truffle aioli on a toasted, buttered bun served with Parmesan waffle fries,” he wrote on Twitter. Naturally, the fans came up with hilarious replies when they learned about the pricing of the two burgers. A fan wrote that given the price he would go for “hot dog” instead. Here’s how they reacted: I am going to have a hot dog instead https://t.co/5qcWKE5cmi — Steven Kosidowski (@steven_koz) April 8, 2022If I'm eating a $151 burger and a foul ball is heading my way I'm getting a concussion because I'm not dropping it. https://t.co/z3wDr4J84X — Steve in Crowtown (@StevenCrowtown) April 8, 2022For that price it should come with the defibrillator that you're gonna need after you eat it.. https://t.co/MSnUPyEePQ — Ross Peterson (@SpursyKnight) April 7, 2022We wonder how the Indians would have reacted if these were launched here.

Do you remember the craze there was (and for many people still is), when Game Of Thrones was released? The American fantasy show filled with blood, drama, ***, thrill and mystical phenomena was an instant hit among the audience and for good reason. At least until the finale was released... But looks like we have another show in our midst that is just as magnificent and captivating as Game Of Thrones, and with a better and more fitting finale too! The Last Kingdom. Better than Game of Thrones. That's the tweet. pic.twitter.com/WmsCgUBZir — Arun (@ArunS) April 6, 2022 Netflix’s The Last Kingdom is being hailed as the next big thing after the HBO show, Game Of Thrones. The historical drama is a British show that is based on Bernard Cornwell's The Saxon Stories novels. It follows the life of Uhtred whose family is killed and he’s been raised as a Dane since then. While the show has enjoyed a cult hit status, it never really went as viral as Game Of Thrones. However, it seems like that is about to change as fans claim that the show might be one up over the GOT franchise. | Netflix drama, The Last Kingdom, has been hailed ‘one of the best series in history’ after its epic series finale – and it has even been compared to the likes of Game of Thrones. Watch below: pic.twitter.com/8oyLsJQC1Q — LADbible (@ladbible) April 8, 2022 As of now, the Netflix show became the most streamed show in the last week with about 1.423 billion minutes watched across its entire 46 episodes.

Yuzvendra Chahal shocked the cricketing world when he alleged that a Mumbai Indians player hung him from the 15th floor in a drunken state back in 2013. Chahal had made his debut with Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and during his stint with the five-time IPL champions, he had faced a tough time as a youngster. While Chahal did not name the player who hung him from the balcony of a building's 15th floor, the leg-spinner's comments from an old Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) podcast, in which he had claimed that Mumbai Indians stars Andrew Symonds and James Franklin, tied his hands and legs and taped his mouth and left him in a hotel room, have now surfaced. Royals’ comeback stories ke saath, aapke agle 7 minutes hum #SambhaalLenge #RoyalsFamily | #HallaBol | @goeltmt pic.twitter.com/RjsLuMcZhV — Rajasthan Royals (@rajasthanroyals) April 7, 2022 Chahal was reminiscing about the team's Champions League T20 victory back in 2011. The 31-year-old said he spent the night with his hands and legs tied and mouth taped and only when the cleaning staff came the next morning, he was set free. “It was in 2011 after winning champions League in a Chennai hotel. He (Andrew Symonds) had drunk a lot of “fruit juice” (laughs). I was with him, only. James Franklin and he tied my hands and legs, and said ‘now you have to open’. They were in so much masti they have taped my mouth and forgot all about me. Party got over and in the morning, when a cleaner came, he saw me and freed me. They asked from when have I been here like this and I told them, ‘from the night itself’, Chahal had said on the RCB podcast. 3-0-9-2 A match-winning performance for us in the 2011 CLT20 final Happy birthday, @yuzi_chahal #OneFamily pic.twitter.com/CSbvCoB5TE — Mumbai Indians (@mipaltan) July 23, 2020 Reacting to these allegations, Durham Cricket Club has said that they will privately speak to their coach Franklin, who was part of the Mumbai Indians squad in 2011. According to an ESPNCricinfo report, Durham Cricket Club will privately speak to all the parties involved in the incident mentioned by Chahal. "We are aware of recent news reports surrounding an incident in 2011 which name a member of our staff," Durham said in a statement sent to ESPNcricinfo. "As with any matters involving employees, the club will speak privately with all parties involved to determine the facts." If true, this sort of behaviour in professional sport is a worrying sign especially if you are a youngster who has just walked into a dressing room filled with big players from all over the world. Also, it remains to be seen how Mumbai Indians react to the whole issue. They have kept mum on the whole issue since Chahal made these allegations. View the full article

Around 200 bouncers have been called for the wedding by the agency. 2. Pre-Wedding Festivities To Be Held At RK Studios © Instagram/Alia Bhatt Unlike the Vicky-Katrina event that was organized in the luxuries of Rajasthan, the main functions of the wedding will happen at the RK Studios and Ranbir Kapoor's Vastu residence in Bandra. There have already been videos and pictures of RK Studios being lit up for the event. View this post on Instagram All the pre-wedding festivities like Mehendi, Sangeet, and Cocktail will be organized at RK Studios. 3. There Will Be Drones © Istock Alia's brother Rahul Bhatt, while speaking to reporters said that they will be using drones as part of countermeasures. Roving Patrol Officers will also be attending each guest at the event. We knew Vicky and Katrina's wedding too had some crazy procedures but this one surely takes the cake as well. 4. English-Speaking, Non-Smoking Security Guards © Istock Ah, this is interesting. According to Rahul, there will also be a strict profile check for the security guards patrolling the event. "They wanted that the personality of the guards should be good and that everyone looks impressive. They must be diplomatic, speak English, be polite and non-smokers," said Rahul. Fancy! 5. Only 28 Guests © BCCL One of the most important elements of the wedding is its guests. Well, while it was earlier reported that there will be around 40-45 people attending the ceremony, according to Rahul, the list is a lot less than the original number. Rahul said that the guest list will consist of only members of the Kapoor and Bhatt families, with there also being reports of Brahmastra keymen Karan Johar and Ayan Mukerjee getting the invite.

Delhi Capitals defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 44 runs in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday (April 10). While it was former KKR player Kuldeep Yadav who was the star of the show for Delhi, picking up four wickets in the match, a decision made by the team raised quite a lot of eyebrows. Delhi Capitals, after being sent in to bat, were off to a flying start thanks to their openers David Warner and Prithvi Shaw but after the fall of the first wicket, their skipper Rishabh Pant walked out to bat. to #RP17's first DC victory match as Captain #OnThisDay in 2021 for a thrilling #KKRvDC victory today Goodnight, fam #YehHaiNayiDilli | #IPL2022 | @RishabhPant17#TATAIPL | #IPL | #DelhiCapitals pic.twitter.com/z7eimJ3V87 — Delhi Capitals (@DelhiCapitals) April 10, 2022 Once Pant was dismissed, Delhi shuffled their batting order and sent Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur ahead of Sarfaraz Khan, who played an impressive knock against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the previous game. Sarfaraz was seen sitting in the dugout but mysteriously he was not sent in to bat by the Delhi management. The result of the match went in favour of Delhi and hence, not a big issue was made out of this tactical error. View this post on Instagram However, fans took a dig at Delhi Capitals and lashed out at the team management led by Ricky Ponting, their head coach, for ill-treating a young batter. @RishabhPant17 @RickyPonting @DelhiCapitals What you people did to Sarfaraz Khan is crime — The Common Man (சராசரி மனிதன்) (@tamizhmanidhan) April 10, 2022Kindly tell us what is the role of Sarfaraz Khan in @DelhiCapitals. Still confused — Cheema_22 (@GurinderCheema1) April 10, 2022Talk about giving confidence to a player like Sarfaraz when players like Axar and Shardul are coming ahead of him to bat. What's the point of playing him? — Aditya (@Adityakrsaha) April 10, 2022So what are the likes of Agarkar and Amre there for if they can't have a word in for Sarfaraz? This is ridiculous. — Saurabh Malhotra (@MalhotraSaurabh) April 10, 2022What's the point of playing Sarfaraz if he's going to be batting at number 8? Surely he's a better bat than Lalit, Axar & Thakur. This is just becoming a little ridiculous to understand now.. — Gurkirat Singh Gill (@gurkiratsgill) April 10, 2022Sarfaraz had played at a better pace than his captain in the previous and unless he suffered an injury while sitting in the dugout, which is unlikely because he took the field when Delhi was fielding, it is baffling to see a batter not getting a chance to bat. While the Delhi management has done wonders with Kuldeep by giving him the confidence and game time, they are ruining a potential match-winner in Sarfaraz who can take on the spinners in the middle overs and a decent bet against fast bowlers as well.

A few weeks ago, SS Rajamouli’s Telugu-language film RRR was released and broke several records pan-India. While many celebrities from the Hindi film industry also watched and lauded the film, one of them put up a question that has crossed every movie fan’s mind at least once. It was Salman Khan who wondered and asked why Hindi films don’t work as exceptionally in the South as their films work with the audience from the North. View this post on Instagram The question was valid since South Indian films, be it RRR, Bahubali series or KGF: Chapter 1, have been loved by fans all across the country while Hindi films don’t mint as much money in the South as it does from the rest of the states. View this post on Instagram KGF series actor Yash, who is all set to release a sequel to his film KGF: Chapter 2 this week, recently responded to Salman’s thoughts in an interview with Bollywood Life and we finally have an answer. View this post on Instagram He said, “Our films also never used to get this kind of recipient, but what is happening from that part of the world, they have started playing dubbed versions here, people became familiar with the content of what we are creating.” View this post on Instagram Yash added that South films were not given importance because of the kind of dubbing that was done but gradually people got familiar with the content, storytelling and direction over the years. “What worked today is people got familiar with our way of storytelling, our cinema, so it has not happened overnight,” he said adding, “And then we got a straight instant connection with Baahubali, SS Rajamouli sir, Prabhas they took that initiative followed by KGF.” View this post on Instagram About Salman making the honest and candid comment, Yash said, “We have watched a lot of films of Hindi stars, we all love them, but the market potential – have they lived up, penetrated it – definitely, there is a huge potential in what I feel and Salman sir is right in that aspect but it isn’t that we don’t watch, we have been watching them but the thing is maybe they should see other aspects also other than just releasing the film actors.” View this post on Instagram We couldn’t agree more. KGF: Chapter 2 hits the screens on 14th April 2022 and is estimated to break even RRR’s BO collections. View the full article

Alia Bhatt’s journey in Bollywood has been a scale that has only gone up, with fewer misses and more hits. Call it nepotism or favouritism, the actress surely landed some projects by virtue of being in the famous Bhatt clan, but with strong performances in movies like Raazi and now Gangubai Kathiawadi, you can’t really blame filmmakers on wanting to work with her. View this post on Instagram Usually known to be in the news for her work mostly, the RRR actress is currently all over social media as she is all set to marry her beau Ranbir Kapoor this week. As the much-loved couple is all ready to say ‘I do’ to each other, an old interview she once did with Vogue is doing the rounds. Usually known for shying away from personal questions, Alia was asked what is her favourite *** position, and she revealed that it was the ‘classic missionary’ as she is a very ‘simple’ person. In the same interview, she had revealed that she preferred dating older men over very young men, and sticking to her thoughts, she is marrying Ranbir who is over 10 years older than her. View this post on Instagram Alia comes across as a legit simple person who is deeply in love and probably enjoys quiet time with friends and family over partying and painting the town red. Hence, we aren’t really surprised with her choice of position. Source: Zoom View the full article

From Ravichandran Ashwin’s tactical retired out to Marcus Stonis’ batting position, the Match 20 of the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) gave the fans plenty of things to talk about. The entertainment was not limited to the field. Even the commentators were in a jovial mood during the match and we saw that during the hilarious banter inside the comm box between two renowned commentators. Indian batting great Sunil Gavaskar poked his fellow commentator from England Alan Wilkins over the issue of the world-famous Kohinoor diamond which now sits on the throne of Queen Elizabeth 2. Another instance that became a talking point on social networking sites was the voice of the TV umpire Paschim Pathak. The reason why people were confused was that Pathak sounded like legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar who has a very unique voice. Why is Sachin Tendulkar doing third umpire's job today?? #PBKSvGT #IPL2022 @sachin_rt@WasimJaffer14 pic.twitter.com/jg9vMoyEKY — TheWiseAss (@TheBitt3rTruth) April 8, 2022 Whenever the on-field umpires went upstairs for his help, the fans started wondering what was Tendulkar, who is the mentor of Mumbai Indians, performing the duties of the third umpire. Is that Sachin Tendulkar's voice during the run out referral? — KSR (@KShriniwasRao) April 10, 2022 A senior sports journalist also felt the same and he put out a tweet, which read: “Is that Sachin Tendulkar's voice during the runout referral?” Soon many other fans who also felt the same flooded his post with their response. Almost everyone agreed that there was a striking similarity between Pathak and Tendulkar’s voices. A fan even joked that Pathak would be flooded with offers if he decided to work as a voice-over artist for the ‘Master Blaster’. His voice is indeed very similar to Sachin — sahil (@bak_sahil) April 10, 2022https://t.co/6dTRe4cyxK Did this few days back — TheWiseAss (@TheBitt3rTruth) April 11, 2022First one to be ever given out by a third umpire was Sachin Tendulkar..life has come full circle — Saurabh Desai (@sau_desai) April 10, 2022First one to be ever given out by a third umpire was Sachin Tendulkar..life has come full circle — Saurabh Desai (@sau_desai) April 10, 2022Yes it was too similar.. I thought god decided to take care of umpiring after Virat's dismissal — Prince Sachdeva (@SachPrince_20) April 11, 2022Pachim pathak was the 3rd umpire... He's also voice over artist of sachin tendulkar — Shivam Singh (@ShivamSingh2602) April 11, 2022This was not the first time Pathak had made headlines for reasons other than his umpiring. In 2015, he hogged attention when he turned up on the ground wearing a helmet. A couple of years back, he had made headlines for his long and luscious locks that he sported during an IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and SunRisers Hyderabad in Abu Dhabi. © IPL Pathak doesn’t have the same long hair anymore but he sure has found a way to dominate the news without even appearing on the field and that in itself is a hell of an achievement.

The Qutub Minar, a historic Indian monument situated in the national capital was actually ‘Vishnu Stambh’ claims VHP Spokesman Vinod Bansal. He alleges that the famous Mughal tower was built from the remains of 27 Hindu-Jain temples, and was made with the 'intention to offend the Hindu community'. We demand that all the 27 temples, which were demolished at the site in the past, be rebuilt and Hindus be allowed to offer prayers there, Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) Spokesman Vinod Bansal added. — ANI (@ANI) April 10, 2022 Speaking to ANI, Bansal said, “Qutab Minar was actually 'Vishnu Stambh'. Qutub Minar was built with materials obtained after demolishing 27 Hindu-Jain temples. The superimposed structure was built just to tease the Hindu community.” Vinod even offered a solution to the alleged indiscretion committed by the Mughals, as he continued, “We demand that all the 27 temples, which were demolished at the site in the past, be rebuilt and Hindus be allowed to offer prayers there.” While such tall claims were generously made by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader, as has become increasingly common in recent years, not a shred of credible evidence was shared by him, making his claims dubious at best, and embarrassing at the least. Bansal’s digital faux pas has left much of Twitter scratching their heads, as his version of history conveniently tries to ride the prevalent anti-Mughal sentiments, hoping for his 15 minutes of fame. On the micro-blogging site, this user shared their version of a future verdict, “Future Judgment: No Scientific Evidence regarding 27 Temples being there earlier. There is no Place for Sentiments in the way of Justice. Demolishing Khutub Minar is Illegal. Keeping Majority Sentiments in View, place is given for 27 Temples & build 5 Khutub Minars somewhere.” Future Judgment: No Scientific Evidence regarding 27 Temples being there earlier. There is no Place for Sentiments in the way of Justice. Demolishing Khutub Minar is Illegal. Keeping Majority Sentiments in View, place is given for 27 Temples & build 5 Khutub Minars somewhere. — Syed Rafi - నేను తెలుగు 'వాడి'ని. (@syedrafi) April 10, 2022 While another user replied to ANI’s original tweet, saying, “Koi dusra kaam dhanda nhi h kya in Bilouto k paas??....... Bol dete petrol k daam wapas 100 k niche chahiye to sense b banta” Koi dusra kaam dhanda nhi h kya in Bilouto k paas??....... Bol dete petrol k daam wapas 100 k niche chahiye to sense b banta — Admiral General Aladeen (@IndianNibba1) April 10, 2022 In an attempt to appeal to Bansal’s better judgment, this user commented, “Sir we have enough temples. Try n manage Them better n build house for poor n hospital. School n no statue n temple. Let's maintain them.” Sir we have enough temples. Try n manage Them better n build house for poor n hospital. School n no statue n temple. Lets maintain them. — pvkrishna (@parthang) April 11, 2022 Another Twitter user beseeched Vinod to live in the present, and not in the past, as they wrote, “Got stuck in the past? Think about what are you building for a next generation, our children deserve a better future… Let’s focus on building better schools and hospitals.” Got stuck in the past? Think about what are you building for a next generation, our children deserves a better future Let’s focus on building better schools and hospitals — Nation First (@virud3) April 10, 2022 Do you believe in Bansal’s claims or are you happy with what NCERT taught you?
