Shawn Mendes postpones his world tour until further notice -
For the debutant Gujarat Titans, it was almost a perfect start to the season. The Hardik Pandya-led side started their journey in the IPL on a bang, defeating fellow newcomers Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by five wickets in their opening encounter of IPL 2022. Fast bowler Mohammed Shami was the wrecker in chief for the Ahmedabad-based outfit as he started the new season with a dream delivery, which brought opposition skipper KL Rahul’s stay in the middle to an end ever before it started. © Twitter/IPL After getting the prized scalp of the LSG captain, the Indian speedster then rattled the timbers of his opening partner Quinton de Kock and Manish Pandey in his next two overs, pushing Lucknow on the backfoot. Shami’s opening spell became a huge talking point on the internet as people from all over the world lavished praise on the veteran pacer for his incredible performance, which set up the whole match for his new franchise. © Instagram/Mohammed Shami However, there was one appreciation tweet that ended up hogging the same amount of attention, if not more, as Shami’s outstanding bowling spell. This tweet came from the official handle of a famous Porn actress Kendra Lust. Absolutely wonderful performance by @mdshami11 #LSGvsGT #IPL2022 — Kendra Lust™ (@KendraLust) March 28, 2022 “Absolutely wonderful performance by @mdshami11 #LSGvsGT #IPL2022,” Lust wrote on Twitter. The adult actress’ tweet sparked a joke fest on the micro-blogging site as Indian cricket fans used their creativity and entertained one another. Most of them were actually interested in knowing whether she actually followed cricket. no wonder his line and length is perfect — Sakul kc (@SakulKc) March 29, 2022@MdShami11 pic.twitter.com/NKTMnBf2YT — Kaushik (@CricKaushik_) March 29, 2022 pic.twitter.com/EK8eDwNHfk — Samraat Maharjan (@MaharjanSamraat) March 29, 2022 pic.twitter.com/rvkLKCsIiK — Simran Randhawa (@Randhawa36_) March 29, 2022 This was not the first time her tweet about an Indian celebrity had grabbed eyeballs. Last year, she had posted a photo-shopped picture of herself with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and sent her best wishes to the actor on his birthday. Talking about his performance, Shami was simply unplayable in his opening spell as he made the most of the perfect bowling conditions at the Wankhede Stadium and troubled the batters by bowling consistent “Test match” line and lengths. Shami, who played for Punjab Kings last year, couldn’t have asked for a better start to the new season. He was adjudged the Player of the Match for his opening burst, and rightly so. Reflecting on his performance at the post match presentation, Shami said: “I was warmed up well. It was important to get a good start in the first match, I looked to bowl a Test match line and length here. When the ball comes out of your hand like that. I have worked very hard on this seam position.” “People say it is god-gifted, but that's not the case. I try to come round the wicket to a leftie and make that angle because that's the most uncomfortable thing for them. I just look to do that,” he added. The Gujarat Titans fans would hope that Shami carries on his rich vein of form and continues to produce similar performances in the upcoming games. View the full article

In 2016, Kareena Kapoor Khan starred alongside Arjun Kapoor in R Balki’s Ki & Ka. Besides its unique plot, the film made headlines for featuring multiple kissing scenes between its two lead characters played by Kareena & Arjun. Before the release, the two stars were often asked about their multiple kissing scenes and about Kareena’s alleged no-kissing policy post her marriage with Saif Ali Khan. © Eros International Reacting to the question of breaking her no-kissing policy at the trailer launch of Ki & Ka, Kareena replied, “I read that there was this policy. I don't know where it came from.” At the same event, Kareena called Arjun “a good kisser”. And when she was asked about her husband Saif’s reaction to the trailer which included their kissing scenes as well, Kareena replied, “He was very happy after watching the promo of Ki & Ka. He found it very different and exciting. He actually messaged Arjun about how much he liked the promo” And later at another event, the actress went on to reveal the reason why she kissed Arjun so many times in the film. © Eros International She said, “Let me say that I am quite sure that after this movie everyone will want a cook or maid, somebody to pay their bills. To do everything just the way Arjun Kapoor does. Not because he is very good at his job but because he is a very sexy looking hunk yaar. No wonder you get so many kisses from me in this movie.” At this statement, Arjun joked, “Chaliye headline toh mil gayi ab hum jaa sakte hain. Ab hamaara kaam ho gaya, we can leave now. (Media has got the headline, now our work here is done. We can leave.)” © Eros International Take a look at the video below: Upon its release, Ki & Ka received positive reviews and turned out to be a box office success earning over Rs 50 crore.

Stevie Wonder condemns Ukrainian violence: ?We must stand up to hate?

Stevie Wonder urges the world population to ?stop this right now? because ?this is not just a Ukrainian war? -
We’ve all made at least one (or more) boss moves in our life. For some, it could have been coming up with the best and most savage comeback, for another it could be to get the girl and how. But for this gentleman in South Kivu, it meant getting not one, but three women, without even having to lift a finger. © Twitter Emerged as what can only be called the ‘real OG’, a man from the Democratic Republic of Congo recently married three women - all of them triplets, after they proposed to him simultaneously. Clearly, the guy had done something exceptionally great and noble in his past life, to have luck like this. Luwizo is now married to the triplets, all of whom he claims to have proposed to him for marriage simultaneously. The three sisters didn’t just imprint on the same man, they decided to share their husband going forward, considering they had shared everything since the time they were little. © Twitter Polygamy as a concept has reinvented itself with this wedding, it seems, as the four of them walked towards their happily ever after. Luwizo revealed that he had first fallen in love with Natalie before meeting her two other sisters. And when they came along, it was probably too good a deal to pass along. After all, who would say no to this? © Twitter He revealed, “Unexpectedly, I met three girls with one face, I was very much surprised that I almost fainted. As much as I was dreaming, I asked, amongst all of you, who is Nathalie? They said, consequently, you never met with one girl. For the first time, you met Nadege, the second time, you met Natasha, and the third time, you met with the social media girl, Nathalie.” He went on to share his feeling as he said, “I immediately fell into a trance and I became confused as I had already agreed to marry Nathalie but the most surprising to me, is that I found out that I can’t marry one of the girls and leave the two of them behind.” The wedding took place in Kalehe, which is a territory located in South Kivu near Rwanda, and since marrying more than one person is legal in Congo, the decision didn’t invite any legal trouble. However, it did stir up a cause of concern for Luwizo’s parents. He exchanged his vows with three women in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family and even though his parents didn’t understand him, he said, “I was obliged to marry all of them because they are triplets. It wasn't an easy decision because until now, my parents don't understand what I'm doing." © Twitter He also shared, “You have to lose something in order to gain another. In addition, one has their preferences and their own way of doing things. So I'm happy to marry the triplets no matter what others think. My parents despised my decision that's why they didn't attend my wedding. But all I can say is love has no limits." At the time of the proposal when all three sisters - Natalie, Nadege and Natasha all popped the big question to him, he said he almost fainted out of sheer surprise calling it no less than a ‘dream’. Yeah well, no shit Luwizo. © Twitter As they are all married now, one sister even shared, “Today we are very happy, as you can see, because our dreams came true without being separated by husbands, but God heard our prayers.” View the full article

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is not going to leave anyone out! The talented actress makes sure that she is on a brink of saying something controversial everywhere she goes. It's a fact that Kangana has worked tirelessly in an industry where she was considered an outsider and has clearly made a name for herself on the basis of her talent and also sheer will. © Instagram However, her constant clashes with almost everyone in the industry is becoming more popular than her actual work. Well, the actress, who is making her appearance in Ekta Kapoor's latest game show called Lock Up, said something controversial yet again. After taking on a lot of Bollywood stars, this time the actress sort of aimed a dig at Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar. © Instagram/Akshay Kumar Not just that, Kangana made sure that it came in the presence of someone who was once deeply connected with Akshay. The person is Raveena Tandon, who was reportedly in a relationship with Akshay long before he got married to his wife Twinkle Khanna. © BCCL Raveena, who was last seen in the Netflix series Aranyak, was making an appearance on Lock Up when Kangana took digs at both Akshay and Katrina Kaif for featuring in the Sooryavanshi song Tip Tip Barsa Pani. As you know, the song was the remake of the title track that was used in the 1994 film Mohra that features Akshay and Raveena. Speaking about the song and comparing it with the Akshay-Katrina remix, Kangana said to Raveena, “Aapke Tip Tip Barsa Paani ka koi kitna bhi remix kar le, aapke saamne paani kum chai hai.” To this, Raveen also had a spicy reply. “Baaton ke zariye thappad marne ka joh style hai woh sirf Kangana hi kar sakti hai.” said Raveena. Wow! A team-up of Kangana and Raveena aimed at Akshay and Katrina! Kangana recently went on to criticize Bollywood star Alia Bhatt in connection with her new film Gangubai Kathiawadi. The actress spoke on how filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali had the casting 'wrong' for the film. Taking a dig at Alia, Kangana wrote in her Instagram story, “This Friday 200cr will be burnt to ashes at the box office ... for a papa (movie mafia daddy) ki pari (who likes to keep a British passport) because papa wants to prove that romcom bimbo can act... biggest drawback of the film is wrong casting...yeh nahi sudhrenge (these people won't change) no wonder screens are going to South and Hollywood films ... Bollywood is destined for doom jab tak movie mafia has power...” View the full article

You know how when Money Heist was released, all we could think of (apart from just how brilliant the show was) was who would be best suited to play the roles of those Spanish characters if it were to be remade here? Some guessed Hrithik Roshan, others wondered if Aamir Khan would do justice to the role of the Professor. And while speculations kept being made, there was no sign of anyone donning the role anytime soon. Somebody help me get over this girl@itsmetejasswi you were fabulous in the episode #TejasswiPrakash #TejaTroops #Naagin6 #Pratha pic.twitter.com/5OiwFjlf8V — Swostika (@tejatroops0) February 13, 2022 That was up until the sixth season of Naagin released and fans noticed a striking similarity between Manjit Joura’s role in the show and compared it to the iconic ‘Professor’ from Money Heist.

One user even wrote, “Professor Money Heist chor kar Naagin Season-6 me kya karne aa gaya (What is the Professor doing here, leaving Money Heist)”. Meanwhile, people can’t stop raving about Tejasswi Prakash’s natural acting and talking about how a revenge-driven drama transformed into a show that started to give out superhero feels with its new plot.

It was their first meeting in a public place and the way Palak reacted was very childish". View this post on Instagram The source added, "Palak too was a tad bit embarrassed seeing herself as the video went viral. And after their viral spotting Palak and Ibrahim haven't contacted each other. Well, it will be too soon to say it's over as they were just friends but definitely had a liking for each other.

Well, she declined to pose for the paps, stating that she had not worn a mask. Here's the clip: View this post on Instagram Seems like she doesn’t want to talk about her meeting with Ibrahim.

You know how most of the time, Bollywood takes inspiration from real-life incidents and makes big blockbuster movies out of it? Now imagine the opposite happening, except inspiration gets drawn not from the feel-good and motivational movies but from the twisted old Bollywood movies that left people wondering what just happened. Wife swapping racket operating on social media busted in Kerala. Till now 7 arrested Many professionals, including doctors & lawyers, were part of social media groups & they operated through fake identities. Some groups had 5000 members Some women were forced by their husbands — Anshul Saxena (@AskAnshul) January 10, 2022 We are talking about the hit movie Ajnabee starring Akshay Kumar and Bobby Deol that got famous for two things - Bipasha Basu’s horrific dance on the piano and the concept of ‘wife swapping’ that gets introduced by Akshay Kumar in a gesture that went on to become iconic. © DNA India Turns out, something similar has transpired in real life as a wife-swapping racket has genuinely been uncovered through the help of social media where police found almost 5000 couples involved in this racket. © iStock The arrest took place on Sunday in the Karukachal town of Kerala’s Kottayam district where the police arrested a man and took six others into custody for allegedly being part of a racket that included couples swapping partners for illegal sexual activities. Turns out, the racket was being operated through mediums like Facebook and Telegram. The entire matter came to the fore after a wife had lodged a complaint with the police against her husband, accusing him of presenting her to his inline friends for such activities. The police started digging into the matter and found a network operating out of Kottayam that dealt with wife-swapping. The statistics, as well as the details of this racket, have been downright horrifying. © iStock The 5000 people who were active on this network included several professionals, such as lawyers and doctors, who had joined using fake names and identities. The activities would include wife swapping, cuckolding, threesomes and unnatural ***, according to TOI. Some Bollywood movies leave a bad example. Old movie of Akshay and Bobby was on this theme — Nirmal W (@nirmalw) January 10, 2022Kuchh jyada hi progressive log hain waha! — Mr. X (@frnd899) January 10, 2022Good to hear of swift action by police. Only quick & stringent punishment to those caught will ensure safety of women from such hideous men. Society needs to be vigilant and report abuse of women. Seems to crop up across India.https://t.co/UACk1vACY9https://t.co/VpkCworHfx — Sunil Ramakrishnan (@schunell) January 10, 2022A police officer who opened up on the case shared, “Many wives who are forced into this against their wishes are showing suicidal tendencies and so we need to investigate with extreme care. Almost 90% of the women are not comfortable with it, they are brainwashed into this." It is a shame that people would go to these lengths to force their own spouses into such a filthy business. Police are currently still investigating the matter. Source: Times of India View the full article

After being dominated by the New Zealand openers on the second day of the Kanpur Test, the Indian bowlers scripted a great comeback on the following day, bowling them out from 296 runs in the first innings. However, not everything went India’s way on Day 3. Having stitched a 151-run stand for the opening wicket, the visitors were well and truly in the driver’s seat. Both their openers Tom Latham and Will Young made the batting look so easy and made the Indian bowlers toil hard for the wickets. .@ashwinravi99 gets the much needed breakthrough as Will Young is caught behind for 89. Live - https://t.co/WRsJCUhS2d #INDvNZ @Paytm pic.twitter.com/SId466G6B8 — BCCI (@BCCI) November 27, 2021 India got some respite when Ravichandran Ashwin got Young caught behind the stumps for the first breakthrough. Despite losing his opening partner, Latham kept scoring runs and inched towards his yet another Test hundred. The hosts knew the southpaw’s wicket would be crucial if they were to mount a comeback yet they gave him a lifeline by deciding against the Decision Review System (DRS) in the 73rd over of the New Zealand innings. What’s astonishing is that India had not one but two reviews left at the time but still, they didn’t go upstairs. Special: @ashwinravi99 takes centre stage to interview Mr. Fifer @akshar2026 & Super sub @KonaBharat. You don't want to miss this rendezvous with the #TeamIndia trio after Day 3 of the Kanpur Test. - By @28anand Full interview #INDvNZ @Paytm https://t.co/KAycXfmiJG pic.twitter.com/jZcAmU41Nf — BCCI (@BCCI) November 27, 2021 Ashwin bowled a loopy full-length delivery that turned just enough to beat Latham’s forward defence and crashed on his back leg while brushing the front pad along the way. The veteran off-spinner made a huge LBW appeal but it was turned down by the umpire. Given the position India were in, everyone expected them to challenge the on-field decision because at first glance it seemed a really close call but Ajinkya Rahane’s decision left everyone surprised. Latham out LBW at 66, given not out, review not taken by India. Are the matches going to get decided on the basis of a team’s judgment to take (or not to) DRS? pic.twitter.com/WzDoWrTQri — Bhupesh Juneja (@BhupeshJuneja1) November 27, 2021 The replay showed that the ball had pitched in the line, the impact was in front, and the ball would have gone on to hit the middle and off stump. Indian batting great Sunil Gavaskar felt that India “missed the trick” by not going for the DRS, adding that at most it would have been the umpire’s call and they would have retained the review. “India missed a trick. They should have gone for the review. Even if it was umpire's call, they would have retained the review,” Gavaskar said, who was on-air at the time. Rahane, who has been facing a lot of flak owing to his poor form, was heavily criticised by the Indian fans on social media, with people questioning his place in the Test team. So far NZ batters survived 3 times because of poor umpiring and poor DRS taking abilities of Rahane. Ashwin and Jadeja missed thier wickets thrice.#INDvNZ pic.twitter.com/JrQWSn5GIm — Priyesh Yadav (@Priyesh_py29) November 27, 2021Extrovert- Virat Kohli who takes DRS and Disrespects umpire decision Introvert- Ajinkya Rahane who respects umpire and doesn't take DRS pic.twitter.com/haHjGNDV95 — Star (@star_crusaderr) November 27, 2021What happened to Rahane's DRS taking ability In Aus he was excellent with DRS — ARYAN (@TheAryanBansal) November 27, 2021After saying Pant has to do better with the DRS, Ashwin be thinking Rahane has to learn from Kohli too!

The difference between Tinder and Indian matchmaking websites, apart from one platform being honest and the other just shallow, is that on Tinder, people still make room for coming across someone who might or might not be the kind of a person they’d be willing to date. Whereas on matrimonial websites, you HAVE to qualify some bizarre requirements that go up from wanting you to be ‘fair’ to ‘earning less’ than the man. © iStock And while height, weight, complexion were still requirements we’d heard of, the newest requirement that has been grabbing eyeballs is that of a man looking for a bride who falls into a particular bra size, waist size, and even a designated feet size. No, we are not making this up. Pun intended. © Reddit A screenshot shared by a Reddit user shows a man who has written up the requirements for a prospective partner that wants her attire to be “80% casual and 20% formal”, but with the exception of being willing to wear ‘costumes in bed’. via GIPHY And since the ad also specifies the bra size and other measurements of the woman, we wonder if he was putting out an ad for a partner or an actress for a role to play in his home movies. Not just this, the man went on and on describing his ‘dream woman’ and even the kind of ‘pro-life and liberal’ views she is supposed to have, along with no kids. Clearly for the guy, finding a life partner was just like placing an order at a restaurant that would custom-make his future wife for him and internet users were dying to break it to the guy, with some hilarious comments to the screenshot. © Reddit © Reddit © Reddit One user wrote, “This guy wants character customization, not a partner. Good god,” while another one compared his ad to, “This is like ordering a perfectly cooked steak.” Another user highlighted the plight of men as he pointed out the sentiment that many men feel when women ask for 6 ft tall guys. © Reddit © Reddit However, there were also a few Reddit users who believed it to be no more than a prank or a sarcastic dig at matrimonial ads, keeping in mind just how unbelievable and bizarre it was in the first place. Meanwhile, if this is not a joke, we wonder what’s next to make it to the list of requirements? A designated bowel movement chart? View the full article

The first T20I against New Zealand will mark the new era in Indian cricket after the departure of former head coach Ravi Shastri and ex-captain Virat Kohli. While the former has parted ways with the Indian team after his glittering tenure came to an end, the latter has been given the much-needed break after relinquishing captaincy in the shortest format. The Kohli-Shastri partnership took Indian cricket to new heights in the last four years, especially in the game’s most challenging format -- Test cricket. Under their guidance, India became a force to reckon with across the globe, beating teams both home and away. © Reuters In the past, legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev has openly criticised the Indian players on a number of issues. He called out Kohli and Shastri when they tried to interfere with the selection matters. He also chided the players for choosing IPL money over playing for their country. So while evaluating their tenure, many would have expected him to be strict but he was anything but that. Contrary to the common perception, the former India skipper, like most fans, also believes that the Kohli-Shastri duo did an incredible job, which included winning back-to-back Test series on Australian soil. © Reuters The former skipper, under whose leadership India became the world champion for the first time in 1983, added that despite dominating around the world they could not lift any major ICC trophy and it would be their biggest regret, if any. “I think both have done a super job. I understand that they could not win India a major trophy but if we look at the last five years, since Kohli took over, there has been nothing lack. The big thing lacking is an ICC trophy. Apart from that, India have won in Australia, England… wherever they have travelled, they have beaten the other team,” Kapil Dev said in an interview with Uncut. © Reuters Talking about India’s recent performance in the just-concluded T20 World Cup, Kapil Dev said that had the Men In Blue reached the knockout stage, he wouldn’t have complained about it. But the fact that, despite being among the pre-tournament favourites, India couldn’t even qualify for the semis was hard to digest. “Reaching the World Cup knockouts is also a huge deal. I think after the 2007 World Cup in West Indies, this T20 World Cup is where it felt that India were disappointing. Had they reached the top 4 and then lost, it is understandable. But if you don't reach the top 4, there will be criticism. © Reuters “If you look at it from a trophy point of view, that's a different thing altogether. But if you look at their cricket, the brand they have played in the last five years, I would give them 90 percent marks out of 100, and deduct 10 percent marks for not winning an ICC Trophy,” he added. Like the legend said, one bad tournament doesn’t mean that the team is poor. Rather than going all out on criticism, the fans must not forget these were the same players who gave us countless moments to cherish in the last few years. © Reuters No doubt, India couldn’t match the expectations in this year’s T20 World Cup but one bad competition cant tarnish Kohli and Shastri’s legacy and we all must be proud of what they achieved during their combined tenure.

Sneha Dubey is a name that has recently been doing the rounds on the internet, and for all the right reasons. Well, to give you a background, we all know how there is so much friction between geographical neighbors and arch-rivals India and Pakistan due to a whole lot of issues. There are barely any instances when the two nations don't clash with each other at international events, and this time around, it was the same. As things happened, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, like always did not have very nice things to say about India. However, India too, had a befitting reply at hand, and this time through, its First Secretary at UN, Sneha Dubey. © Reuters Khan, had in a pre-recorded address, described Islamophobia as a 'pernicious phenomenon' and had said that 'the worst and most pervasive form' of Islamophobia 'now rules India'. Well, that is certainly not a very nice thing to say, but wait, there's more. He also said that the Indian government is currently propagating its 'Hindutva ideology' while unleashing 'a reign of fear and violence' against Indian Muslims. Not long after that, India obviously didn't keep quiet with first secretary Sneha Dubey tearing into the Pakistan PM. © BCCL She said, “This is the country that is an arsonist disguising itself as a firefighter. Pakistan nurtures terrorists in their backyard in the hope that they will only harm their neighbours. Our region and the entire world, has suffered because of their policies. On the other hand, they are trying to cover up sectarian violence in their country as an act of terrorism." India’s First Secretary at the UN, Sneha Dubey, articulates India’s reply to Pak PM Imran’s ‘stuck record’ speech. PM @NarendraModi speaks at the #UNGA this evening India time. pic.twitter.com/5vH1wQi5cJ — Shiv Aroor (@ShivAroor) September 25, 2021 It was followed by a statement issued by India, which said, "Sneha Dubey has rightly exposed Pakistan. Pakistan's ties with terrorism are not new to anyone. As a nation they support them. Osama bin Laden was shielded by the country and given home. They treat him like a martyr. India supports Sneha Dubey." What shall we call her now? India's Wonder Woman! We sure can, because that reply was damn awesome! For those of you who don't know, Sneha is a 2012 batch IFS officer who cleared UPSC exam in the first attempt, and since then has been working her way up the ladder. Soon after her speech at the United Nations Assembly, people took to Twitter to share their admiration for her. Here is what they said: She spoke strongly and beautifully. Though same statements are made before as well, seems like pakistan is yet to learn from it. — Anirban Chatterjee (@Anirban3009) September 25, 2021There you go!! Keep it up, every one knows the true face of Pakistan and we have to keep the pressure up at globally along with focusing on our development story.. — Ankit (@_a_n_k_i_t) September 25, 2021Isn't she brilliant. I am impressed. So happy to see young guns do so well. — Krushna (@govindagopala) September 25, 2021look at Sneha's facial expressions.. as she wants to slap Imran Khan ki mere samne jyada bak bak na kiya karo — Pranshu Pandey (@pdia0) September 25, 2021Kudos to Sneha Dubey! Should have added: India reserves the right to pre-emptively strike against terrorist camps in Pakistan to safeguard its citizens. India also reserves the right to take back any illegally occupied territory by any means at the time of its choosing. — Vish (@vishy_g) September 25, 2021Well done Sneha Dubey, that was brutal — Prashant Sankeshwar (@prashant_1978) September 25, 2021 Looks like Sneha does have a huge fan base now. And she deserves every bit of recognition for it as well. Kudos to her! View the full article

Sidharth Shukla's untimely demise yesterday has left all of us in shock. And if the news of Shehnaaz Gill breaking down after his death wasn't heartbreaking enough, the media has clearly made matters even worse for her. All of his family members and girlfriend Shehnaaz Gill had reached the crematorium to conduct Sidharth's last rites today. Losing a loved one is not easy and when you are a popular personality, the media makes it even harder for you to mourn the passing of a close one. The visuals of Shehnaaz heading to the Oshiwara crematorium are heartbreaking and it’s sick to see cameramen shoving their cameras right in her face and mobbing her. View this post on Instagram Grief is more often than not an extremely personal expression and media personnel pestering her with questions like how she's coping with it is utterly insensitive. Let alone grieving, electronic media is not even letting her have some solitude in such testing times. Yesterday, news channels started running the story of Sidharth’s untimely demise in ways unimaginable and today, we see cameramen making it impossible for Shehnaaz to even breathe as she gets down from her car. All because they want a quote from her to run on their channels in order to churn TRPs. Hungry Vultures. Pls leave her alone..pls... Stay Strong #ShehnaazGiII pic.twitter.com/V9IpTqSdwR — Riya Ag. (@Riyaag03) September 3, 2021 These video and photos clearly show how the media has literally mobbed Shehnaaz: View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram We wonder how low is low. Not just us, social media users are also bashing the media for being insensitive. © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter It's really heartbreaking to see this happening to someone at what could be one of the lowest phases of their life. We hope all the media personnel let Shehnaaz be with Sidharth on his last journey but unfortunately, it seems like Indian media has sold its soul to get TRPs. View the full article

India’s run-machine Virat Kohli is considered to be one of the best batsmen of the modern generation and he has earned the status by scoring runs all over the world on a consistent basis. But there was a time when the Indian skipper was going through a lean patch in his career and the runs were hard to come by. The 2014 tour of England was perhaps the darkest phase of his career as he struggled throughout the series and could only score 134 runs. © Twitter SkySports Despite going through a tough time, Kohli kept believing in his skills and bounced back like a true champion and shut all his critics by scoring four Test centuries in Australia a few months later. Kohli sat down with Dinesh Karthik ahead of the five-Test series against England and reflected on what went through his mind after 2014 disappointment. Karthik, who is a part of the commentary panel in England, revealed an interesting anecdote about Kohli from 2014. The former KKR skipper recalled how he had sent Kohli a message to console him but was after a disappointing tour but his reply left him “When you were going through what you went through in 2014, I remember I sent you a message saying ‘don’t worry Virat a lot of players have gone through, you’ll get over it and you said ‘just wait and watch in a couple of months time’,” Kartik told Kohli, reminding him about the old incident during a SkySports interview. “‘I thought jeez, what a cocky guy he is. (He) can’t put bat to ball and (is) saying wait and watch in two months’ time.’ You go to Australia and you show what it is. It’s not like you wanted to show it to me,” said Karthik, which drew huge laughter from the Indian captain. © Reuters “That’s who I am. That’s who I have always been. The background of my journey not many people know about. I have always and always relied on myself what I can do as an individual first and then I’ll take help along the way, and people who have been open to help me and help me understand who I really am have been the ones who have been the closest to me,” Kohli replied. “When my back is against the wall, there is only one way for me and that’s forward and I’ll do everything in my power to fight my way up again,” he explained. KING KOHLI: COMING SOON ON SKY SPORTS! India captain Virat Kohli speaks exclusively to @DineshKarthik in a wide-ranging interview, discussing what the England series means to him ( much more! Watch it in full during the first #ENGvIND on SS Cricket from Wednesday. pic.twitter.com/63Jb0dQrs3 — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) August 2, 2021 Kohli kept his word and made the world take note of skills when he toured Australia a few months later. He smashed four centuries and dominated the Australian fast bowlers throughout the series. It is no secret that Indian skipper loves challenges and beating England in their own backyard is one of the most difficult things to achieve in international cricket. Given his past record, we know for sure that he’ll give his all to help India win their first Test series in the UK since 2007. View the full article

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's love story was not an ordinary one. The two met on the sets of a shampoo commercial, and that's how their tale started to flourish. They, eventually, became the 'It' couple of India, and no matter how much they tried to keep their relationship under wraps, their love for each other spoke volumes in their pictures. © Instagram/Anushka Sharma In 2014 though, Anushka made a statement saying, “they are not hiding anything and that they are just two normal people in a relationship”. And so, they finally made their first appearance in November 2014. The couple was then seen celebrating several occasions together. While Anushka would travel with Virat for cricket tours, Virat, on the other hand, would surprise her on the sets of her movies. © Instagram/Virat Kohli The couple got married in 2017 in a fairytale wedding. It was so surreal that the pictures and videos do rounds on the internet even now. Anushka and Virat announced that they would be parents to their first child in 2020. They now have a beautiful daughter named Vamika, who arrived in January 2021. © YouTube/Bollywood masala Recently, Virat opened up about his first-ever meeting with the actress and what clicked between them. He spoke to Dinesh Karthik before India's Test series in England in a candid video and said, “I joke around with everyone. I was joking around with her as well. She said, ‘it was the first time I saw someone around me joking about the things I have experienced as a child.’ So, that really connected.” © Instagram/Virat Kohli The skipper was nervous around her during the commercial shoot and ended up cracking a joke that did not go too well. In one of the earlier interviews, he said he looked like a fool as the gag was awkward. However, once they started connecting, they enjoyed each other's company. What a week it has been! Spoke to the superstar of world cricket about fatherhood, his love life, spirituality, social media, leadership and ofcourse Team INDIA Coming soon! #ENGvIND @imVkohli @SkyCricket pic.twitter.com/U0iNQYntzD — DK (@DineshKarthik) August 2, 2021 He said, "She is tall as well, and she was told that I am not 6 feet or plus and ‘you must not wear massive heels or anything.’ Anushka walked in and was looking taller than me. I said, ‘Didn’t you get a higher pair of heels than these?’ She was like, ‘Excuse me?’, I said, ‘I am just joking!” © Instagram/Anushka Sharma But first impressions aren't everything, and we are so glad the couple got another chance or else 'Virushka' would've never existed. Virat also spoke about how he wished his father was alive to meet Vamika. This Father's day do something memorable and make it special with your father. #HappyFathersDay #ComeOutAndPlay pic.twitter.com/amwaFOuqfB — Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) June 17, 2018 When asked the same during the candid conversation, Virat said, “He hasn’t seen me play. Now with our daughter, I have seen the happiness on my mother’s face. You sit down and think, what if he was still here.” © Instagram/Anushka Sharma Currently, the couple and their daughter are in England and often share pictures of fun times with the team and the family.

Unlike Indian award functions, certain international awards actually do have some credence. Or so we thought. Now though, it is really hard to believe that award ceremonies like the Academy Awards or the Emmys are sacrosanct. © Netflix The reason we say this, is of course, because of Indian Matchmaking’s Emmy nomination. © Netflix When the show was released, we all had fun at its expense, and just how ridiculous it made most of the participants look. Yes, there were a few strong characters, but even they were made to look ridiculous. As the fervour of the show settled down, and the memes around “Sima Taparia from Mumbai” subsided, we took a good hard look at it, and saw, just how problematic the show was. © Netflix First of all, there is the entire concept of matchmaking and the business of it, of how things go about. Keeping the obvious issues with agency and personhood aside for a moment, there were several other issues, that the show seemed to be promoting, no matter what the makers of the show, or Sima herself say. © Netflix The obsession with fair skin, the lack of diversity in terms of religion and sexual orientation - the show was presented in a way that seemed to normalise all that. And then, there is the problem of the west gaze, or particularly, the “white gaze.” This was a show that was made by the diaspora of India, for an American and a diasporic audience, that peddled Indians. Netflix India wasn’t involved in the making of the show. Had they been involved, there would have been some chance of the show not showing the stereotypical idea of South Asian marriages - that they are always arranged in nature. You have to ask yourself, who is the show meant for, and who is it targeting? © Netflix Make no mistake about this - the show and the Western people watching it, is like a group of American tourists, coming to India and visiting the Taj Mahal, the Ashrams at Rishikesh, and the crowded markets of Old Delhi, and then claiming, “This is India in a nutshell,” all the while saying just how “spiritually enriching” the experience has been for them. The larger picture is nonexistent for them. © Netflix The nomination comes as a surprise, even more, when we consider the fact that shows like Made In Heaven & Delhi Crime, were nominated last year. Even a show like Four More Shots getting a nomination in the comedy category made some sense. © Prime Video And let’s not forget, that Indian Matchmaking, at the end of everything, was a cringe-fest, that certainly did not deserve your time. If someone says it did, they surely were categorising it under “shows that are so bad, that you have to watch them to believe they exist.” View the full article

When you think of Indian superheroes, you either think of Shaktimaan or the new-age Krrish. Hrithik Roshan brought Krrish to life in the most amazing way and people hailed him for giving them an Indian Superhero franchise. © Filmkraft Productions Just recently, he dropped a hint that the fourth instalment of the franchise is already in the pipeline. However, people had mixed reactions to the news of the fourth movie and even advised the actor to not make it, as the second and third instalments failed to make a splash. Recently, a person came up with a rather hilarious plot of the upcoming movie and even took a jibe at Rakesh Roshan, however, Hrithik lauded his imagination. “I wrote a #Krrish4 Wattpad storyline in 5 minutes Rakesh Roshan could never," the fan tweeted. Hrithik replied, "Imagination 100. © Twitter According to his script, Naseeruddin Shah and Priyanka Chopra make a comeback in the fourth instalment of the movie. Naseeruddin is the supervillain who goes back in time using a time machine to capture some aliens and kidnap Priya and Krrish’s kid. To fight him, Krrish also develops a time machine and goes back in time with Priya - who is also given superpowers by Jaadu. Both of them come back and together fight Naseeruddin. © Filmkraft Productions Interestingly, his script didn’t have Kangana Ranaut as a character anywhere. Jokes aside, this plot might be interesting for those who are hardcore fans of the time travel concept. Earlier, in an interview with India Today, Hrithik was asked if the fourth part was in the pipeline. He said, “I already have an idea for Krrish 4, I haven't got the time to meet dad after the release of the film so once I meet him I will share my idea with him but I want to tell the audience Krrish 4 will be out there before you know it.” Excited about the fourth instalment?

In another bizarre incident, a US-based woman was in splits when she woke up after a night out to check her bank balance. She was $50 billion in debt. She had around $76 when she went for a night out and then she ended up being in a huge debt. Maddie McGivern got a call the next morning from the bank saying that she had a negative balance in her account and owes the bank around $49,999,999,697.98. © Unsplash She further added, “It also said on my account I would get $50 billion in 2099. Which would be sick but I don't know if I would be alive at that point." Now, this glitch affected many people over the weekend as many people flooded the social media in confusion to ask why they suddenly owed billions of dollars to the bank. A spokesperson from the bank said, “We had a technical glitch over the weekend impacting a limited number of accounts. The issue has been resolved and those accounts are now showing accurate balances.” View the full article

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most decorated footballers of our generation, a name synonymous with greatness and perfection. He has been rewriting history time and again with his god-like skills and the Portuguese star, often finds himself being in the news for anything and everything he does. Sometimes for wrong reasons as well! © Twitter/Cristiano_FC © Twitter/Stephen Scullion Recently, Ronaldo nonchalantly made a face as he removed two bottles of carbonated drinks of Coco-Cola during a press conference at the European Championship. As he kept aside the bottles, he said 'Drink water'. This also led to a whopping loss of $4 billion loss for the brand, as Coco-Cola is a sponsor for the current tour. Ronaldo's snub though made everyone laud the footballer and they called him a role model, while some took a jab at the brand and said it's the 'Ronaldo Effect.' © Twitter/Jake Buckley But, it takes only a few minutes for someone to go back in the past and dig some dirt on stars when they go viral for something good. The same happened with Ronaldo as well. An old ad of his starring in a Coca Cola commercial during his early days has gone viral. People on Twitter had a quick response to it and called the Juventus forward a 'hypocrite' as the old video re-emerged. So Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't like Coke huh? Well this is awkward..... Guess the pay check stopped coming pic.twitter.com/hDRGbqmDmo — JAKE BUCKLEY 🇦🇺 (@TheMasterBucks) June 15, 2021 Australian YouTuber Jake Buckley said, "So Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't like Coke huh?" © YouTube/KFC Others also spoke about Ronaldo endorsing KFC, which is in opposition to him following a healthy diet and often talking about it. In the video, he is seen enjoying a bucket of fried chicken. This video is still live on the Arabia YouTube channel. While some criticised the star, others praised him as he discouraged everyone from consuming aerated drinks, despite the ad. Take a look at the video here: Here's how people on Twitter reacted. Hey google , what's does a HYPOCRITE mean ? #Ronaldo #CocaCola pic.twitter.com/KSNCDGAci5 — Yeshwanth (@yesh2181) June 16, 2021They used to be friends 🤣 #Ronaldo #CocaCola https://t.co/WsxvjfFftm — RJ Festejo (@RJFestejo) June 15, 2021The truth they say water is life.

Any sort of 'hypocrisy' you see doesn't negate the positive action. We can celebrate the action and what it stands for separately. Because it's about how we react to it. — Joanna Tilley (@JoannaTilley) June 15, 2021 View the full article

Paras Chabbra Says He Was Offered 'Over Bold' Shows & We Wonder Which Type?
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Paras Chabbra is called the king of reality shows. He has been a part of some of India's big reality shows, including MTV Splitsvilla Season 5 and Bigg Boss 13. For the unversed, Paras also ventured into Bollywood with a musical thriller Midsummer Midnight Mumbai in 2014.

He further said he his 'own boundaries' for such scenes. Paras mentioned in a leading daily that he doesn't want to go the 'porn star' route. He said "Boundaries might not be there on any platform but I have my own boundaries. I have been offered projects recently which required me to go intimate and overbold. But I feel that rarely are they required in a show. There is mostly no connection of bold scenes with the storyline and they are there to create a buzz,” © Instagram/Paras Chabbra Paras also said in today's time, that makers show almost everything of an actor and actress. He said, 'I do not want to be a porn star, I want to be an actor'. As for Bigg Boss 13, Paras left the show during the finale and was later in a reality show, Mujhse Shaadi Karoge.
