Elon Musk is known to be very frank, honest and sometimes witty and thereâs no denying that he likes to take a few digs at rivals and competitors as well. And now, he has tweeted a dig at WhatsApp. Tesla CEO thinks that the popular messaging app WhatsApp is not great at security and prone to hacks. Musk tweeted a meme highlighting a new emoji that indicates the messaging app comes with a âfree phone hack.â New emoji! Last one comes with free phone hack. pic.twitter.com/T3jjwZycog â Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 6, 2020 Facebook's security advisory had also explained the issue and said, "A vulnerability in WhatsApp Desktop when paired with WhatsApp for iPhone allows cross-site scripting and local file reading. Exploiting the vulnerability requires the victim to click a link preview from a specially crafted text message.â © Reuters The âfree phone hack" is probably a dig at WhatsAppâs recent lapses in security. WhatsApp was in the news recently. Earlier this week, reports claimed that a WhatsApp bug would let hackers read files on a victimâs computer. Investigators believe that Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezosâ iPhone was hacked and compromised after he received a video on WhatsApp that fetched personal data. In a similar fashion, 1,400 journalists and human rights activists' phones were also broken into by Pegasus software from Israel-based NSO Group last year. View the full article -
Tasked with the responsibility of leading a fairly inexperienced side early in his career, Mahendra Singh Dhoni didn't just repay the faith of the selectors and the team management, but allowed India to etch its name in the history books with the maiden ICC World T20 title in its inaugural edition in 2007. His capabilities in limited-overs cricket had already turned heads when he played blistering innings of 148 and 183 within a year of his debut, but the World T20 triumph in South Africa was indeed the platform that gave everyone a glimpse of the noticeable leadership skills of a long-haired and fearless Dhoni. And, since then, there has been no turning back for MSD. © Reuters Bringing a thick skin and relative indifference to the results, two key things that had earlier set the norm for an Indian captain to keep his job, Dhoni thrived in his natural progression as India's leader on the field. His partnership with Gary Kirsten in 2011 saw the Indian team ending the country's wait for 28 years to get their hands on the coveted ICC World Cup trophy. It was undoubtedly an achievement that no other Indian captain, barring, of course, Kapil Dev, has achieved. But, Dhoni wasn't done just yet. Two years later, Dhoni helped India clinch yet another ICC trophy, this time the Champions Trophy which was held in England and Wales. In the process, Dhoni became the only captain to have won all three major ICC trophies - a feat that is yet to be matched by his counterparts. © Reuters But, just like how all good things must come to an end, Dhoni, too, has reached the twilight of his career. Ever since, India's ouster from the 2019 World Cup, speculations have been rife that 'Captain Cool' might call time on his illustrious career. He missed key series for India last year and the selectors have made it pretty clear that the Jharkhand cricketer is no longer in their scheme of things for the future as they continue to groom and nurture young Rishabh Pant as his potential successor. While fans are still getting used to the absence of Dhoni on the cricket field as Virat Kohli continues to marshall his troops, the 38-year-old was handed a critical blow after being overlooked for the central contracts by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) - a move that has pretty much summed up the fate of the former Indian captain. Skipper Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah receive BCCI's grade A+ central contract for 2019-20. MS Dhoni has been left out of the annual contract list. pic.twitter.com/VFBjIuVYac — ICC (@ICC) January 16, 2020 On 16th January, the Indian cricket board announced the list of central contracts for its players for 2019-20. While the likes of Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah saw their Grade A+ contract (Rs 7 cr) being renewed, Dhoni's name was missing from Grade A (Rs 5 cr), B (Rs 3 cr) and C (Rs 1 cr) list of central contracts for the players. The BCCI announces the Annual Player Contracts for Team India (Senior Men) for the period from October 2019 to September 2020. Saini, Mayank, Shreyas, Washington and Deepak Chahar get annual player contracts. More details here - https://t.co/84iIn1vs9B #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/S6ZPq7FBt1 — BCCI (@BCCI) January 16, 2020 For someone who was part of BCCI's Grade A list of central contracts last year, Dhoni, who has made himself unavailable since the World Cup in England & Wales, was left out of the 27-member list for the period from October 2019 to September 2020. Apart from Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, Khaleel Ahmed and Ambati Rayudu were also left of BCCI's list of central contracts for players. But, it was Dhoni's notable omission that took social media by storm.

India's biggest festival for the four legged took place a few weeks back in the capital, on the 28th and 29th of December 2019, and people made their way to the NSIC grounds in Okhla, to witness a life changing experience for their pets. Pet Fed is India's biggest carnival for pets, which usually takes place in an open area where people can spend adequate time with their four-legged. This time we saw a lot of people in Delhi bring in their cats and dogs and have themselves quite an adventure. Now Pet Fed is ready for round two, which will take place in Mumbai on January 11th and 12th, 2020. © Pet Fed Apart from all the amazing activities that were planned for two whole days, and adoption camps that were set up at the venue, we also got a chance to interact with actor/model, Dino Morea, the ambassador for the event and also one of the main investors for Pet Fed. Dino, an animal lover himself, is a proud father of two fur-babies - a labrador named Maximus and an Indie named Ganpat and he himself promotes the idea behind 'adopt don't shop', which mainly talks about not buying breed dogs when you can adopt desi dogs around you. © Pet Fed Here's what we spoke to Dino about: MensXP: What are the causes you're closely attached to and have actively worked with? Dino Morea: I've worked with a variety of causes ranging from betterment of stray animals & spreading more knowledge regarding adoption of pets through my association with Pet Fed to starting up "DM Fitness" which provides health and fitness solutions to young kids from the streets who want to come and work out on the streets itself. Apart from this, I've worked independently with various NGOs who provide education to underprivileged kids. MensXP: Do you have any pets? What's the most basic need a pet may have? DM: Yes, I'm a father to two pets at the moment. A Labrador named 'Maximus' and an Indie named 'Ganpat'. I've always had indies around me at any point of time. The most basic need of a pet is love and care, just like us humans. © Indtagram MensXP: How can a festival like Pet Fed encourage more people to adopt dogs or cats? DM: Just talking about it is not enough, you have to experience it for yourself. So I suggest visiting the next Pet Fed carnival - either Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore. Through this, people get sensitized to knowing how loving pets are, how good they are and how they make us into better human beings. As long as adoption is concerned, festivals like Pet Fed are important as it encourages more pathways for knowledge towards indie breeds, how hearty they are & how they aren't any less than any other dog or cat breeds. MensXP: What do you feel about 'adopt don't shop'? DM: "Adopt Don't Shop" delves & tackles two important issues: 1) It discourages breeding which is an unhealthy business in itself, especially when it's done in the wrong way possible. You stop that by adopting strays. When you need a pet, you don't really need 'em to show off, you need them as a companion. Second good thing about this cause is that when you adopt, especially a stray animal, you end up with a furry companion and you also give a deserving home, love and care to an animal in need. © Pet Fed MensXP: Do you think a festival like Pet Fed should take place in every part of the country and that too frequently? DM: Yes! Every city in India needs to have a Pet Fed happening, because we have carnivals for human beings & for every liking in every small part of this country, so why not have a carnival for pets? Besides knowledge and awareness, it's also a lot of fun. Kids, people and pet lovers alike, would love to come and experience something like this. It's the most wonderful experience and according to me, every city should have it at least twice a year. After reading this I am sure either you're convinced to adopt a pet or you're going for the next Pet Fed event happening near you. Whatever it is, make sure you register for the event and give your pooches the time and effort they truly deserve. View the full article

6 Movies Where Some Of The Best Bollywood Actors Gave Really Bad Performances
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
We all make mistakes and we all learn, at least we try to. Our favourite Bollywood stars are no different. While this movie making factory dishes out movies like crazy with so many new faces to experiment with, some movies only work for the beloved super stars acting in them. After all, loyalty has a price. However, some movies saw some of the biggest stars losing their senses and pelting out such bad performances that it legit hurt their fans. Here are six movies where some of the best actors gave really bad performances: 1. Love Story 2050 Our 'desi' girl is a global icon today with volumes of great works that speak for her. When she is not slaying on the red carpet or working on a good project, she is spotted in some virtual PDA with her beloved husband Nick Jonas. However, long before PeeCee became a Hollywood star, Love Story 2050 saw her dishing out a bad performance and as per rumours, it was reportedly because of her not-so-good relationship with her ex-flame Harman Baweja. 2. Khushi Bebo is one gorgeous actor who can look fiery and dish out immensely fiery performances in equal measure. However, it is a known fact that in her initial days of Bollywood, she signed some of the random projects but Khushi kind of tops the list, because what was that performance, you queen? 3. RGV Ki Aag You are not supposed to touch master pieces like Sholay because that is like playing with fire. And looks like, this is exactly what RGV wanted to do when he made this dud and managed to make BIG B look so intensely bored in this movie, that it probably made it to his regret list soon enough. 4. Aap Mujhe Acche Lagne Lage There is a reason why Hrithik Roshan is known as a Greek God. Those looks, that ripped body and a talent house of wonderful acting, I have no idea what went into him prepping up for this movie where nothing at all looked good to us. Why, Hrithik? 5. Besharam Ranbir Kapoor's work speaks for him. With tremendous acting done by this genius of an actor in films like Rockstar and Barfi, this movie has no explanation of how it landed in his kitty and why! 6. Dil Ne Jisse Apna Kaha Salman Khan's screen presence is strong enough to get the cash registers ringing but we have no logical explanation for what went into him doing this movie with Preity Zinta and Bhumika Chawla. Three good looking people, one badly written script. So glad that bhai is back to doing Dabangg and entertain us in a way which only he can do. View the full article -

There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends. Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go, For the children, they mark, and the children, they know The place where the sidewalk ends. ---- Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

Vicky Kaushal is the actor who is giving our classic Bollywood heroes a run for their money. The man who started out with a dream in his heart and treaded on an unknown path has come a long way from his 'Masaan' days. His recent performance as DJ Sandz and a path-breaking record with 'Uri' has made him the favourite man of the moment and he is well aware of it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vicky Kaushal (@vickykaushal09) on Mar 20, 2019 at 1:47am PDT Vicky is celebrating his 31st birthday today and is ringing it amongst his family and friends. View this post on Instagram The smile on my face is because of the people you see in the reflection behind. Thank You guys. Also, feeling so damn blessed reading all your wonderful wishes. Thank You so much for this beautiful shower of love and blessings. Lots of love and a big hug to each one of you. And that btw, on the table, was my birthday cake! ðâ¤ï¸ð A post shared by Vicky Kaushal (@vickykaushal09) on May 16, 2019 at 2:12am PDT We stumbled upon some unseen, raw footage of his theatre days, which are notable performances in their own league. One of the videos shows Vicky in a theatrical production where he's seen essaying a comic character. Another short clip shows a talented Vicky playing the role of a rough police officer misbehaving with a woman. This has a carefree Vicky drinking with his friends and contemplating a plan to commit suicide. Interestingly, he was also a part of Vasan Bala's short movie 'Geek Out' . For any Vicky Kaushal fan, this is a gold mine right here.

I am super pumped up for the upcoming week. My dream smartphone, OnePlus 7 Pro is hitting the markets on May 14 with a grand global launch across New York, London and Bangalore at 8.15 PM IST. You know what this means for tech watchers like me, right? All we are doing right now is spending hours on Twitter speculating how this product will turn out to be. While this is a huge news in itself, there is something even bigger - a chance to experience the flagship device first-hand before everyone else. How you ask? OnePlus will host a one-of-a-kind 'OnePlus Experience Pop-Up' on May 17 (three days post launch), starting at 7PM at Amphitheatre, Select City Walk, New Delhi. The Experience Pop-Up will be an experiential zone where the OnePlus community will come together to get their hands on the latest flagship from the brand - the OnePlus 7 Pro. There will also be limited stock pop-up stores on May 15 across seven major cities in India - Bangalore, New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai and Ahmedabad, where attendees will be the first to get their hands on the device. There's more! Early birds at these pop-ups will also stand a chance to receive exclusive goodies including OnePlus Type-C Bullets, Netflix and Amazon Vouchers, along with OnePlus back cases, OnePlus tote bags and OnePlus 'Never Settle' t-shirts. There will also be exclusive workshops and exciting events for the community, over the course of the month including gaming leagues, content creation and photography workshops. Ready to Go Beyond Speed? Invites for the #OnePlus7Series Launch Event are now LIVE ð¨ Get yours here - https://t.co/qh8beU9AOI pic.twitter.com/JYtn7F8rUU — OnePlus India (@OnePlus_IN) April 25, 2019 So what is that we are expecting out of the brand this time? We speculate that the OnePlus 7 is likely to do away with the dewdrop notch which was introduced in the OnePlus 6T. Instead of the notch, the OnePlus 7 Pro may include a pop-up camera selfie camera instead and also have QHD+ 90Hz AMOLED display. While there are too many speculations and rumours floating across the internet, we can find it all on May 14 when the flagship product launches. More than 8,000 attendees are expected to attend this worldwide launch. But for those who cannot, live stream the launch here.

When the Nirav Modi scam made headline, the entire nation was shocked and surprised. The man behind a big diamond empire eloped the country right before the scam hit the papers and the government couldn't get him back to the homeland to punish him. However, people who flock from India have a way of finding a life beyond the border here. After Vijay Mallya was traced in UK, Nirav Modi was spotted chilling in London near his 8 million pounds apartment (roughly 72 Crore) by a reporter from Telegraph and his video has gone viral on social media. Exclusive: Telegraph journalists tracked down Nirav Modi, the billionaire diamond tycoon who is a suspect for the biggest banking fraud in India's historyhttps://t.co/PpsjGeFEsy pic.twitter.com/v3dN5NotzQ — The Telegraph (@Telegraph) March 8, 2019 The reporter persisted with a few question to Modi about the money he owed and how long he intended to stay in England. Nirav Modi's standard reply to every question was 'no comment'. He smiled and politely faded away in the crown as if he's a star being hounded for pictures. The report also claimed that Modi was wearing a jacket made from Ostrich hide which roughly costs around 9 lakh rupees, so clearly he's not as distraught as one might imagine him to be! Also, as per the report, he has resumed his business under a new name and is living a decent life.Nirav Modi was accused of committing one of the biggest frauds in the history of India and he owes PNB a sum of over 13,600 crores already. His uncle, Mehul Choksi who was also accused in the same case is already residing in Antigua and Barbada.

If you're the kind of person who loves to pose and show off your #IWokeUpLikeThis face to the rest of the world, or the kind of person who just loves pouting #ForTheGram, you definitely need to hear this. Tyra Banks is all set to open Modelland, a 21,000-square-foot ticketed theme park at the Santa Monica shopping mall in 2019. The theme park comes straight out of her 2010 novel, 'Modelland' about her experiences in the modelling industry. Now she wants to share those experiences and make them accessible to everyone in a more tangible way. "Now with Modelland, I'm taking it 10 steps forward, giving people the opportunity to engage with the elusive world by opening it up to everyone, Men, women, families, all generations can come and enter this modelworld for a day, have a fun shopping experience, and an eventful meal. This will be the first of many.” Banks said in an interview with WWD. According to the WWD interview, this park is going to have: interactive entertainment around the modelling experience, curated retail which means a lot to shop, user-generated content that can be shared like new ways to pose, a place where visitors can “be the dream version of themselves” and clothing designed by Hollywood costume designers that you can wear. Sounds like a dream right?

With the upcoming 2019 ICC World Cup, here is a look at what the members of the 2011 World Cup winning Indian cricket team are up to these days. Virender Sehwag © Reuters Although Sehwag did not have the perfect World Cup final as he was dismissed on the second delivery for a duck against Sri Lanka, he did have a great run during the 2011 World Cup tournament itself, which began with a massive 175-run innings against Bangladesh in the first match. After officially retiring from all formats of the game in 2015, Viru provides his expertise on various pre and post match analytical shows. Sehwag is a proud owner of Sehwag International School that has been producing some of the most talented players from the younger lot. He can also be seen on social media every now and then, roasting others and sometimes, even himself. Sachin Tendulkar © Reuters In his final days as one of the Men in Blue, the 2011 World Cup can probably be considered as the endgame for the master blaster. Having an above average run, Tendulkar was more or less consistent during the Group matches and also the Knockout rounds. Scoring 120 against England in the second match and 53 against Australia in the quarter finals, Tendulkar made it clear to the world that he's still got it. After lifting the cup during the victory round with the Wankhede Stadium chanting his name, Tendulkar retired from ODIs in 2012 after a disappointing series against England. What is remarkable about Tendulkar's post-retirement life is how much he has done to promote sports other than cricket. Owner of the Indian Super League franchise Kerala Blasters and Premier Badminton League franchise Bengaluru Blasters, Tendulkar is also the UNICEF ambassador for Hygiene and Sanitation and also launched a sports management company called STD in 2016. Gautam Gambhir © Reuters Probably the most consistent batsman throughout the 2011 World Cup, Gautam Gambhir played a crucial role in India successfully chasing Sri Lanka's respectable score of 274 in the final. Although Gambhir got bowled off Thisara Perera's delivery with 50 odd runs still left to be made, his heroic innings helped MS Dhoni reach the target a lot more easily. After winning the 2011 World Cup, Gambhir struggled to find his form and went off the radar for quite some time. He began to play domestic cricket and was even called to play a Test series against New Zealand in 2016. However, Gambhir announced his retirement ahead of his final match for team Delhi in the 2018 Ranji Trophy season, in which he also scored a century on 6th December 2018. Virat Kohli © Reuters Scoring a decent 35 in the final against Sri Lanka, Kohli was just 22 years old when India lifted the Cup. Although he became a familiar face for the Indian audience, not a lot was expected out of the future captain as players like Sehwag and Tendulkar were there. Kohli himself has expressed a lack of emotions after the win because he didn't feel like he earned it. A lot has changed in eight years. Not only has the 22-year-old outspoken boy evolved into a wise and calm (relatively) captain, he has also spearheaded the team to great heights, winning a Test series in Australia, for instance, which none of his predecessors were able to achieve. With the 2019 World Cup approaching, Kohli looks focused and will surely have strong emotions towards whatever the Indian Cricket Team has in store for themselves in the future. MS Dhoni © Reuters A captain, a wicketkeeper and a batsman, Mahendra Singh Dhoni aced in every category during the 2011 World Cup. A massive but more importantly, clutch innings put out by the middle-order hitter was a great testament of exactly how much we will miss Mahi when he finally decides to retire (hopefully after another World Cup). Named the Man of the Match in the final, Dhoni won the Cup for Team India in wonderful fashion with a six. Eight years later, despite many stints of bad form, Dhoni continues to be the 'finisher of games' for the Indian side. After winning the ODI series in Australia while acting as the backbone of the squad, Dhoni has proved his critics wrong once again and is making a great case for another hand at the upcoming World Cup. Yuvraj Singh © Reuters Other than getting out on the first ball against Pakistan in the semi final, Yuvraj Singh was steady as a rock for the Men in Blue for the entire tournament. His back-to-back 50s against England and Ireland in the initial rounds and a masterful 113 against the Windies in the 42nd Match were some of the best innings played during that year's World Cup. Soon after winning the World Cup, Singh was diagnosed with a rare cancer which spread into his lungs but after months of therapy and diet-control, Yuvi was able to make a comeback to cricket. Although, he has not yet announced his retirement, his absence from the roster is a clear indication of the inevitable. His Yuvraj Singh Foundation and cancer organisation, YouWeCan is focused on helping diagnosed patients get treatment and create awareness against the stigma attached to cancer. Suresh Raina © Reuters To be completely honest, Suresh Raina did not contribute a lot towards India's rise throughout the tournament and thanks to Dhoni's game-winning innings, did not get to bat in the final too. His best innings came in the semi final during which the batsman scored 36 runs. After being an integral part of Team India for years to come after the 2011 victory, Raina hit a slump in 2016 and has been on and off the team ever since. Having played his last ODI and T20I match for the national team back in July'18 against England, Raina is trying to make a comeback but it may be too late for the senior middle-order batsman to return. Zaheer Khan © Reuters In a time when Indian bowling was considered to be subpar, it was Zaheer Khan who led the attack when his side was fielding. Albeit, Khan proved to be expensive in the final three overs against the Lankans in the final, his consistency and deliverance throughout the tournament can not be questioned. Case in point, Khan's three-wicket attack against England in what was considered to be the toughest match throughout the tournament for India. After retiring from international and domestic cricket in 2015, 'Zak' has entered the fitness industry with his brainchild venture ProSport Fitness. Khan now has two fitness centres in Mumbai and is looking to expand to other cities as well. He also has a couple of restaurants and a sports lounge in Pune. S Sreesanth © Reuters 27 years old at the time, S Sreesanth was fierce with the ball. However, the World Cup proved to be a disappointment for the pacer who gave up 52 runs in just 8 overs in the final match against Sri Lanka. Sreesanth was a surprise pick for the playing 11 after Ashish Nehra was out due to an injury. His journey after winning the Cup was full of unfortunate milestones as two years later, the Kerala-born was caught in the infamous spot-fixing scandal during the 2013 IPL scandal and was sentenced a lifetime ban from playing cricket. Recently, Sreesanth became the 2018 season's runners-up of the reality show, Bigg Boss. Sreesanth has appealed to the judiciary, time and again to lift the ban on his cricketing career but it hasn't led to anything fruitful. Harbhajan Singh © Reuters Cricket is not all about aggressive bowling and trying to take wickets, it is also about preventing to concede runs and work towards forcing the opponent to put up the smallest total that they can. During the 2011 World Cup, Bhajji, who not only was the second highest wicket taker for the Indian side, he also had one of the best economy rate amongst the Men in Blue. Not having officially retired from the international scenario, Singh has no plans of playing international or first class cricket anymore. Having said that, he continues to play for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Munaf Patel © Reuters Munaf Patel's impressive performance in the ODI series in Sri Lanka in 2010 got him a spot in the 2011 World Cup squad as Parveen Kumar and Ashish Nehra were out due to injury. While a lot of people belief Patel's role in the victory wasn't very eventful, the more technically sound fans call him the unsung hero. The then-bowling coach, Eric Simmons commends Patel's high degree of skills which covered up the lack of pace. Unfortunately for Patel, once the World Cup was over, his days with the Indian national team were numbered. Playing his last ODI against England in September 2011, Patel was last seen on the field, playing in the 2017 IPL for the Gujarat Lions. He has also expressed the desire to begin a career as a coach.

The wedding bells are chiming louder than ever now for Bollywood's beloved couple 'DeepVeer', with little over two weeks to go for their much-awaited wedding. As the wedding date draws closer, all the major celebrity tabloids are working overtime to uncover all the major details related to the wedding. We did our own research and gathered all the juicy bits to give you a timeline of all the wedding rituals, a sneak-peek into the exclusive wedding guestlist list, apart from the details about the Bollywood reception venue and much more. Read on to savour all the details about the mega-wedding. It all started with the wedding announcement on Sunday, 21st October, when both Deepika and Ranveer announced their wedding dates on Instagram with this post: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Deepika Padukone (@deepikapadukone) on Oct 21, 2018 at 3:29am PDT As soon as the announcement was out, everybody craved to know more about the venue, the guest list, and other details. With over two weeks to go for the wedding, this is what we have been able to dig out so far: The Venue The couple is reportedly set to tie the knot at Italy's Villa del Balbianello, overlooking Lake Como. The plush villa would serve as the perfect setting for the intimate nuptial celebrations that Deepika and Ranveer have planned for. View this post on Instagram #villadelbalbianello #fondoambienteitaliano #brumottistar A post shared by Villa del Balbianello (@villadelbalbianello) on Jun 19, 2018 at 9:22am PDT The Guest List Unlike wide speculations, Ranveer and Deepika have chosen to keep their wedding guest list short and intimate. According to a mid-day report, the couple has decided to invite only four friends from the film industry for the wedding. A source close to the duo was quoted as saying, “Given her deep bond with Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan who had launched her in Bollywood, Deepika was certain that she wants them by her side on the auspicious day. The couple also considers Aditya Chopra and Sanjay Leela Bhansali their mentors”. © red chillies Entertainment So, we are guessing that only these four celebs from the industry shall be attending the wedding ceremony in Italy, apart from other close friends and family. The Schedule For The Wedding Ceremony According to reports, the celebrations will span over four days in Italy. Deepika and Ranveer are expected to be leaving for Italy on 10th November, and the rest of the schedule is as follows: 13th November- Sangeet The revelry will begin with the sangeet on 13th November, followed by two wedding ceremonies. Speaking to mid-day, a source close to the couple said that both a South Indian and a North Indian-style wedding will be held for the couple. © Twitter 14th November - Kannadiga Wedding The first wedding ceremony would be conducted according to the Kannadiga customs, as is followed by Deepika's family. 15th November - Punjabi Wedding Since Ranveer is a Sindhi-Punjabi, on 15th November the duo will get married as per the Sikh wedding customs, that is Anand Karaj. This will be followed by a post-wedding party at the property. 21st November - Family Reception Post their wedding the couple will head back to India, where they will first host a wedding reception for Deepika's friends and extended family in Bangalore on 21st November. The Leela Palace Hotel in Bangalore has been booked for the event. © Twitter 30th November & 1st December - The Grand Bollywood Reception Soon after, Deepika and Ranveer are expected to throw a Bollywood party for their industry friends on 30th November, followed by a grand wedding reception on 1st December, at the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai. Close to 3000 guests and celebrities are expected to attend this reception in Mumbai. The soon-to-be-married couple is expected to leave for a short honeymoon before Ranveer joins the promotions for his upcoming movie 'Simmba', which is set to release on 28th December. The celebrations are bound to be stellar and we can't wait for the wedding images to start pouring in.

The remarkable success of movies like 'Raazi', 'Gold' and 'Sanju', has had Bollywood riding on the wave of biopics and movies based on real life events. Films like 'Uri', 'Manikarnika' and 'Kesari' have only underlined the recent success of this trend further. © junglee pictures The latest addition to this list is director Meghna Gulzar's upcoming venture on acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, featuring superstar Deepika Padukone. After giving us a heart-warming watch in 'Raazi', Gulzar is now set to make a biopic on acid attack survivor and activist, Laxmi, who was attacked at the age of 15, and has since been working for the welfare of acid attack survivors. © wikimedia Reportedly, Deepika Padukone will not only play the lead role, but will also wear the slip into the producer's shoes for the movie. Deepika told Mumbai Mirror, "When I heard this story, I was deeply moved as it's not just one of violence but of strength and courage, hope and victory. It made such an impact on me, that personally and creatively, I needed to go beyond and so the decision to turn producer." © instagram Gulzar, who's also made films like 'Talwar,'' said "Using Laxmi's story as a lens, we are attempting to explore these aspects and the consequences of acid-related violence in our society. This is what makes this must-told story relevant. Awareness is the first step towards change." On casting the 'Padmavat' actress, she said "I was instinctively convinced that Deepika would do justice to the character and the story. Also, her physicality matched with what I'd imagined for Laxmi's character. I'm grateful and encouraged that she was so spontaneous in her decision to do the film." © wikimedia Laxmi was recently in news for her financial struggles in the recent past. Upon learning of her misfortunes, Akshay Kumar even transferred Rs 5 lakh into her account so that she can find her feet. Laxmi's story is one of the most inspiring accounts of courage and bravery. We look forward to Deepika doing justice to it on the big screen.

For those following cricket, the success of seam and swing bowlers in England should no longer be a surprise. Everyone knows how effective the English conditions are for seamers who thrive on swing bowling. Thus, when India began their tour of England, the venomous tracks offering assistance to fast bowlers was something we all expected. The scenario in the five-match Test series was no different either, as the likes of James Anderson and his buddies ran amok to secure an early 2-0 lead for England. The third Test saw Virat Kohli and his teammates returning with more intent and the result was an emphatic 203-run win- a triumph that slowly, but surely allowed Indian fans to dream on for a historic series win. But, who knew that it will be a battle of spinners that'll eventually decide the fate of the series. The crucial fourth Test at the Ageas Bowl saw the visitors carrying their momentum from the last game as they reduced England to 246 runs in the first innings. While Jasprit Bumrah bagged three wickets, the likes of Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin claimed two scalps apiece. But, as the game progressed, England spinner Moeen Ali began working his magic on a deteriorating surface that spelled doom for the Indian batsmen. © Reuters For a man who has been seen playing the second fiddle to Adil Rashid, Moeen went on to clinch a fifer, leaving the Indian batsmen in the wake of his majestic spin bowling. If it wasn't for Cheteshwar Pujara's gritty hundred, India wouldn't have managed to amass 273 runs in the first innings, especially when Moeen was spitting fire with his off-spin bowling. While Moeen's performance in the first innings surely dented India's chances, the visitors were still happy to see the assistance offered by the Ageas Bowl's surface to spin bowling. After all, they had their premier spinner Ashwin who almost propelled them to victory with his tally of seven wickets at Edgbaston. With the match becoming essentially a second innings battle, Kohli and the Indian fans were now waiting for Ashwin to weave his magic while using the surface to his advantage. There was a lot of rough- created by the follow-through of the quicks - around the right-hander's off-stump at the pavilion end, which was efficiently used by Moeen. And now, it was time for Ashwin to reap similar benefits. © Reuters But, at a time, when his side needed him the most, Ashwin didn't look in his element in the crucial innings. While Moeen was seen hitting the rough spots consistently, Ashwin failed to utilise them and was seen bowling wayward lengths while struggling for probing lines. And, Ashwin's figures of 1-84 in the second innings say it all. Ashwin's mediocre performance might have something to do with the groin injury that the Indian offie was nursing, but the fact that he was included in the playing XI made it imperative for him to deliver on a pitch, that looked good for spinners (at least for Moeen). On one hand, where Ashwin struggled to counter the England batsmen, Moeen carried his fine form from the first innings and once again wreaked havoc on the Indian middle-order in the final stages of the game. He dismissed a well-set Kohli after his delivery- once again bowled in the rough- looped off the pitch and took the glove of the Indian skipper before going straight into the hands of Alastair Cook at forward-short leg. © Reuters He struck again to dismiss young Rishabh Pant who still lacks maturity to deal with pressure in the longest format. And, then came the killer blow - one that surely put India out of contention at the Ageas Bowl. Moeen pushed Ajinkya Rahane back into the crease and got him plumb in front of the wickets. The tail-enders couldn't last long as England romped their way to a 60-run win and, in the process, sealed the five-match series. By the time Moeen was done with his carnage, he had nine wickets in his kitty at the expense of 134 runs against Ashwin's mediocre spell of 3-124. It was arguably Moeen's performance over the more distinguished Ashwin, that eventually served as a critical roadblock in India's dream of clinching the historic series win in England. And, while the experienced Ashwin lost the key battle to a man who, not very long, was considered a part-time spinner for England, the Indian cricket team- that was soaring high on confidence since their turnaround at Trent Bridge- eventually lost the war.

'If you could go back in time, would you kill Hitler when he was a baby?' – an old question that is yet to be answered. Actually, it has sort of been answered because if time travel was possible, someone might have already killed Hitler and literally changed the course of history. But, since time travel and Hitler are such common topics apparently, even Deadpool decided to take his shot at answering it. I'm sure everyone can agree that 'Deadpool 2' was absolutely insane but, turns out, there was so much more that we never even got to see. Exhibit A – a scene where Deadpool kills baby Hitler. (SPOILERS AHEAD) If you've seen the movie, you know that one of the best parts of the entire thing was the end, where Deadpool travels through time killing his old selves, actually he's killing Ryan Reynolds' old roles but they're basically the same person, so it works out. There are so many possibilities with a time travelling device and Deadpool uses it wisely – first, making sure his appearance in the movie 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' is completely erased from the world and second, literally killing himself before he can do that godawful 'Green Lantern' movie. But, one thing that did not make the cut was Deadpool travelling back in time to kill baby Hitler, who grew up to be one of the most evil and tyrannical dictators the world has ever seen. According to Esquire, the reason this scene was deleted from the final version was that: “They didn't include the scene in the theatrical post-credits, because they wanted to leave the audience with a different message. 'As much as I love this joke, we end on a really high note and that's the way it should end,' Leitch told me.” Actually, it might have been a little ironic since the movie is about Deadpool saving a kid from turning evil in the future. Here's the scene, watch it before it's deleted by Fox again. (Just a heads up, if the video is taken down because of copyright issues, you can find it on Twitter or YouTube if you look hard enough. Also, if you really want to watch the scene, watch the reaction videos on it.) Turns out, they also filmed an alternate ending for this particular scene as well. Esquire reports a scene was shot in which Deadpool decides not to kill baby Hitler. He can't go through with it and ends up changing the child instead, saying, “You smell like Hitler's anus.” Now, that sounds more like Deadpool, tbh.

Sneakers have been a rage all-season long (with suits, chinos and of course, shorts). We've seen them in all-black, white, sock-like variants and even as part of 'dadcore'. Our celebrities too, more than dress shoes, now wear sneakers with almost everything, making us buy ourselves more and more pairs. Take, for example, Shahid Kapoor, who has a closet full of really dope sneakers, and wears them for dates, casual out-and-about and even on the red carpet. Point being, for a date with yours truly — Shahid decided to slip into yet another terrific pair, that has found a place in our Hall Of Fame. See for yourself! © Viral Bhayani Snapped with Mira on a lunch date in Mumbai, Shahid decided to match his sneakers with yours truly. While Mira opted for a classic lace-up, Shahid turned towards an easy pair or more formally known as, slip-ons. While on one hand, we thought white sneakers had reached their saturation point, Shahid proves us wrong by stepping out in yet another stellar pair: © Viral Bhayani Without a doubt, Shahid didn't want any distractions in the way of his crisp white slip-ons, so he decided to keep his outfit basic. As seen here, he's wearing a grey V-neck T-shirt (with his sleeves pulled-up) and a pair of dark grey shorts — in typical daddy-cool style. He's also thrown in a white baseball cap (worn backward) and a pair of oversized silver-tinted sunglasses. But overall, his sneakers are the stars of his outfit here! © Adidas India Broken down, Shahid's wearing Y-3 Tangutsu Adidas sneakers. The name might be a bit of a tongue twister, but they look dope after all. Costing $232 (approx. Rs.16,000), these kicks are completely made of canvas, with a Y-3 logo on the tongue. They're easy, lace-less (hence, easy to slip into), so we'd suggest you add these to your shopping bag immediately. © Viral Bhayani Yet again, Shahid has proven who the real sneaker-daddy is! While we're still considering our white sneakers as wardrobe basics, Shahid is turning them into the focal point of the outfit. Attaboy! If you too are planning on coping these right away, buy them here.

From being one of the strongest defending champions to not being a part of the World Cup anymore, the shocking defeat must have hit Germany harder than the Korean Soju, which the Taeguk Warriors might be drinking right now to celebrate their victory. No one (including the South Korean football fans) in their wildest dreams expected South Korea to defeat Germany by 2-0. Although this victory did not change anything for South Korea as they were already exiting the tournament, it did pave way for Mexico who is still in the league despite losing to Sweden by 3-0. © Reuters But, Germany's streak of misfortune doesn't seem to end here! What's worse than getting kicked out of the World Cup at a crucial point, by a team that was already on its way out? Rubbing salt on the wound that hasn't been healed yet. © Twitter If the football fans brutally trolling Germany weren't enough, Pornhub decided to jump into this discussion and mock them for their defeat. One of the leading adult video sharing websites, Pornhub, tweeted, “We will be removing the German category from Pornhub following their humiliating elimination.” We will be removing the German ð©ðª category from Pornhub following their humiliating elimination. #WorldCup — Pornhub ARIA (@Pornhub) 27 June 2018 Poor Germany right now! © Twitter
