Race 3 actors Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez face Netizens’ ire for ‘forcing’ child to hug even after he said no

Bollywood actors Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez have come under sever flak on social media for ‘forcing a child’ to hug Fernandez during the promotion of their upcoming film Race 3 on a TV show. Fernandez had posted a clip of the show on her Instagram handle that shows her and Khan coaxing a young boy, a contestant, to give her a hug. On being asked if he was willing to, he said “nahi (no), explaining “mann nahi kar raha (I don’t feel like it.)”

Albeit in a playful way, the actors then go up to the stage and ensure that the boy hugs the actress, when his body language (after he clearly said no earlier) shows no inclination towards the embrace. However, the act seems to have irked netizens who now say the actors, as responsible and well-known personalities, should have known better than “violating a child’s consent”. “Regardless of whether the child was joking or not (I personally don’t think he was, look at body language, Salman turned it into a joke), when asked if he wanted a hug he said “nahi”. The word no came out of his mouth and that gives nobody the right to go and hug him anyway. As far as “sabhi bachho ke saath hota hai” is concerned, well that doesn’t make it okay. It only means that adults don’t understand that the concept of consent also applies to children,” read the comment of Anushka C, one Instagram user.

She was just one among many who took to slamming the actors for going against the child’s wish to not give her a hug. Fernandez’s caption under the video read: Kids usually love me, this boy was an exception.. at least I got my hug in the end.”

This summer, when the sun’s scorching down on us in all its fury, trust actor Kareena Kapoor Khan lend that much-needed relief: With a polka dot dress to get us ready for summer.

Kareena’s knee-length dress is just what we want to be wearing right now — and all year long, for that matter. That all-over polka print is just so cheerful! It doesn’t hurt that Kareena capped it off with a pop of red on her lip. Her messy top knot is gorgeous too.

If you’re ready to fill your wardrobe with airy dresses, like Kareena’s, we did a little online shopping and found out you can score the exact dress for $409 (Rs 27,605).

Ranbir Kapoor reveals the backstory behind his poster with Paresh Rawal : Sanju trailer

While we're still trying to get over the after-effects of watching Ranbir Kapoor's jaw-dropping actg in the Sanju trailer, here's an interesting back story that the actor shared about his poster with Paresh Rawal from the film. Before the release of the film's trailer, the makers of the Sanjay Dutt biopic had unveiled the character posters from the film one by one. In one of the posters, Ranbir and Paresh Rawal can be seen portraying the beautiful father-son bond shared between Sanjay Dutt and Sunil Dutt.

At the trailer launch event of the film, Ranbir Kapoor revealed the real story behind the said poster and shared its backstory. The actor said that it's from a phase of his (Sanjay Dutt's) life when he had become a slave of drugs. It was outside the premiere of Rocky when he hugged his father and begged him to save him from dying. Sunil then decided to leave everything and focus on his son. He took Sanjay to the US where he stayed in a rehab for two years.

The actor said, "Jaise aapne trailer mein bhi dekha ke Sanju sir  ek drug phase se guzre. He was so deep in to drugs that he completely lost himself. He completely lost perspective of life. Actually Rocky ke premiere ke bahar jab film chal rahi thi, he went to his father and said, 'I'm gone. If you don't sve me right now, I won't be able to survive'. And that's when Sunil (Dutt) sahaab realised that his son has gone so deep into drugs that he decided that he'll live his life to make his son okay and he took him to America, to a rehab. So that was a very important moment in Sanju sir's life. That was a changing moment. He would have either died or he would have survived and I think he was brave enough to want to fight the drugs."

Janhvi Kapoor makes her debut on Vogue India cover; discusses upcoming films, Sridevi and paparazzi culture

Although Janhvi Kapoor is yet to make her Bollywood debut, she is already getting into the groove of celebrity life.

Dressed in Louis Vuitton, she recently posed for Vogue India's June 2018 issue, making her magazine cover debut. Apart from that, in an interview with Karan Johar, she opens up on getting into films, life after the sudden demise of her mother, screen legend Sridevi and being paparazzi's current favourite.

Karan Johar is the producer of Jahnvi's debut film Dhadak and also her mentor. Jahnvi reveals that Sridevi never comfortable with the idea of her getting into films. "She thought I was naïve, that I wasn’t thick-skinned enough. She wanted us to live a more relaxed life," Jahnvi adds. Although Sridevi was an iconic actress, she felt that Khushi (Janhvi's younger sister) would be better at handling the problems that come with being in the film industry.

After the sudden passing of Sridevi earlier this year, there has been intense media scrutiny on Jahnvi and the Kapoor family in general. She says that although it's a loss that none of them will get over completely, it has still brought them closer as a family.

Although Jahnvi is followed around everywhere by the paps, she thinks she has not done anything to earn the attention that she has been getting. She admits that she isn't very good with reacting to the photographers and is caught off-guard most of the time.


Before she passed away suddenly, Sridevi saw the first 25 minutes of Janhvi's debut film. However, according to Jahnvi, her feedback was very "technical" and she gave her some tips to do the second half of the film differently. Jahnvi says that although Sridevi is not wit her anymore, she still wants to make her parents proud by excelling at acting and that is her only motivation.

10 lakh bank employees to be on strike when your salary hits your account

Bank services will be hit this week as over ten lakh officers and employees of state-run banks plan to go on strike on May 30 and May 31. The officers and employees are upset that their wages have been revised just two per cent.

Last ditch efforts to defer the strike failed as the meeting between United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) representatives and the Labour Department, Finance Ministry and Indian Banks Association officials could not break the deadlock.

"The UFBU leaders conveyed their grievance that there is an inordinate delay, an offer of 2 per cent was not in good taste and the practice of wage negotiation for officers up to Scale VII which has been the practice has to continue," said All India Bank Officers Confederation General Secretary D Franco.

The Chief Labour Commissioner (CLC) supported the issues and asked the Indian Banks Association (IBA) to respond positively.

IBA representative said they will consider the revised offer but requested the UFBU to quantify the demand. UFBU stated that the charter of demands is clear.

On the demand about revising wages of officers, the IBA said that six banks have given a restricted mandate. IBA also brought up the fact about the losses that banks have incurred lately.

UFBU leaders quoted figures to prove how operating profits has doubled, staff expenses reduced and business more than doubled.

CLC said that officers and employees have to be paid for hard work and not based on profit.

IBA was not ready to come out with a new offer but assured to continue the negotiations.

On the officers' scale, the IBA was willing to discuss with banks but could not give any assurance.

Madhuri Dixit's Bucket List stands strong at box office. Is Marathi cinema on revival mode?

In the list of new movie releases last Friday, a special mention goes to Madhuri Dixit’s debut Marathi film Bucket List, which has earned Rs 3.66 crore in three days and is playing on 409 screens. But the question is why does this film need a special mention?

The journey of a Marathi film is not as easy as that of a Hindi one, which still casts its long shadow across the Indian film industry. In addition, limited marketing budgets and lackluster promotions are some of the reasons that act as stumbling blocks for Marathi movies. Hence, a strong run of a film from this segment requires a special mention.

But this segment has also enjoyed its share of attention from audiences thanks to strong content, new-age writers and filmmakers, and unusual subjects. And factors like state government’s grants and subsidies to the Marathi films have led to renaissance of sorts in Marathi cinema in the last decade-and-a-half.

The proof of this is the massive earnings of films like Sairat, which is the all-time highest grossing Marathi film. The film, which was made at a budget of Rs 4 crore, entered the coveted Rs 100 crore club by minting approximately Rs 110 crore which is a feat not many Marathi films have achieved.

Then came Nana Patekar’s Aapla Manus, which clocked in Rs 20 crore in the first 50 days of its release this year. In 2014, Riteish Deshmukh-starrer Lai Bhaari minted more than Rs 40 crore with a budget of Rs 7 crore.

The success story of this segment doesn’t end with strong collections of one or two films — the Marathi film industry as a whole is witnessing a change. According to an EY report, the Marathi film segment releases about 100-120 films on an average every year, which was as low as 20 films a year about a decade ago.

The segment has found recognition as content-driven cinema have earned critical acclaim in the international festival circuit. In 2017, films such as Lapachhapi, a horror film, and Kaccha Limbu, a movie from the drama genre, were well received at the box office and also found acclaim at film festivals.

Air India air hostess accuses senior airline official of sexual harassment, probe ordered

An Air India air hostess has accused a senior airline official of sexually harassing her for last six years and alleged that the airline management has not acted on her complaint made last September. She took to social media seeking “help” on Tuesday to get the airline to act. Following this, aviation minister Suresh Prabhu tweeted that he has asked AI chairman “to immediately address this issue. If necessary, will appoint another committee.”

In a complaint sent to Prabhu on May 25, the “proud single mother” air hostess claims “a senior executive over last six years has sexually harassed, tortured and discriminated against me…. this senior executive (whose name will be revealed when I meet you) is a predator and has sexually… abused me… and has tried to compel women in his office (including me) to come and drink with him at various bars and many of us have been forced to do so…. He has insulted and denied me positions and privileges after I rejected his advances… he has made my life a misery and work and continues to do so.

Sadly the AI women’s cell did nothing… During the mockery of inquiry… the lady chairperson of the committee had to temerity to respond ‘you know how he talks. He has even flirted with me like this so many times’.

In any other company, this offending officer would either have been suspended or transferred out. Yet in AI, through his old boys’ club, (he) has continued to serve in the same office,” she says in her letter to Prabhu, marked also to Prime Minister Modi, while seeking a meeting with the minister.

Malaika Arora trolled for sharing swimwear pics, here’s how the actress reacted

Bollywood’s glamorous diva Malaika Arora posted a collage of throwback photographs of herself taking a dip in the sea recently. She captioned it: "Summer loving. Take me back." She received some unpleasant feedback from a few followers who trolled her for wearing a bikini while swimming.

Malaika Arora, who has been a target of several trolls, says she doesn't pay attention to them."I don't pay attention to trolls and that is the best way to deal with them," Malaika said in a statement to IANS.

On this, she said: "This is an old picture from my trip to the Maldives last year. People seemed to have a point of view on my attire in the pictures. To all those people, I just have one question: What as per you, is the appropriate attire to wear while swimming or diving in the ocean?

"To my knowledge, it is swimsuits that one uses the world over when considering water focused outdoor activities. If people think we should be wearing something else, please enlighten me."

Recently, Malaika Arora traveled to Los Angeles as there is always something new to discover in the city. "I have been to LA many times before but it never ceases to mesmerize me. There's always something new to discover here," Malaika said in a statement to IANS.

"The views, the lifestyle and the sheer vibe that the city exudes is something one needs to experience to believe and that's what makes it a spectacular place to unwind. It's an ultimate destination to enjoy, shop, eat and repeat. There's so much to love about LA that one trip is just not enough," she added.

Kaala Trailer, With Rajinikanth As 'King Of Dharavi,' Goes Instantly Viral

Rajinikanth returns and returns as the much-revered mob boss Kaala Karikaala in the trailer of Kaala, which was awaited with eager anticipation. Dhanush, whose Wanderbar Films produces the movie, shared the one-and-a-half-minute-long trailer on YouTube and wrote: "It's finally time, the king arrives in style! Presenting to you, our Superstar Rajinikanth's, much anticipated Kaala trailer." Ahead of the release, the makers of the film described Rajinikanth's character as the "King of Dharavi" and the trailer will indeed tell you why. The trailer begins with a top shot of Dharavi, which is believed to be the biggest slum in Asia, followed by a quick introduction to Nana Patekar, who plays a politician and the antagonist.

Rajinikanth makes a blockbuster entry next and in just a few glimpses, the trailer explains Kaala Karikaalan's rapport with the slum dwellers - they simply love him. Kaala is the perfect combination of a fun-loving mob boss and a crazy gangster, who doesn't hesitate to settle a score in the typically rowdy manner that mob-leaders are associated with. Mid-way through the trailer, Nana Patekar described Kaala as "Raavan" but it is Nana Patekar's character, who appears to instigate communal violence in Dharavi, which is followed by an inspirational and motivational speech by Kaala to re-unite his folks and wage war against injustice.

Army Chief Promises Exemplary Action Against Major Leetul Gogoi If He's Guilty

Days after an army officer was detained by the police in Srinagar after a row in a hotel involving a Kashmiri woman, Army Chief Bipin Rawat said today that "strictest action would be taken" if anyone in the army did any wrong.

The officer who was detained is Major Leetul Gogoi, backed by the army amid a major row last year when he tied a Kashmiri man to his jeep as a "human shield" during by-polls. The army has ordered a court of inquiry.

"If anyone in the Indian Army, at any rank, does any wrong and it comes to our notice, then strictest action will be taken. If Major Gogoi has done something wrong then I can say that he will be given due punishment and the punishment will be such that it will set an example," said the Army Chief, who was on a visit to Srinagar to review the ground situation and open goodwill schools run by the army.

After his detention on Wednesday, Major Gogoi was handed over to his army unit. A senior police officer was asked to investigate what happened.

According to some reports, a room was booked online for him at a hotel near Dal Lake and he had checked into the hotel on Wednesday morning.

After some time, a woman came with a man, apparently to meet the officer, but weren't allowed to go to the room. When Major Gogoi allegedly got into a row with the hotel staff, the police was called in and all three were taken to a police station.

A report by news agency Press Trust of India said the army officer, along with his driver and a woman had approached the front desk to check in but was told that he could not go to his room with the woman because she was a local resident. The officer told the police he had come for a "source meeting".

Google Home now leads Amazon Echo In race of smart speakers

Smart speaker is the new ruler of the consumer technology segment, says a new report from Canalys. As per the report, Smart speakers are the fastest growing technology segment with shipments hitting 9 million units in Q1 2018, up 210 per cent over Q1 2017.

Google and Amazon are seen as the two leading names in this segment with Google taking the top spot from Amazon for the first time. The company shipped 3.2 million of its Google Home and Home Mini speakers over Amazon's 2.5 million shipments of its Amazon Echo speakers in the Q1.

Google has hit a shipment of 36.2 per cent over Amazon's 27.7 per cent in the first quarter. This is in stark contrast with the last year's figures where Amazon held 79.6 per cent of shipments over Google's 19.3 per cent.

The reason why Google managed to have higher shipments than Amazon is that of the company entering into new markets like India where it has joined hands with domestic service providers like Jio and ACT to reach its users.

Canalys Analyst Ben Stanton says that Googles biggest advantage is in the channel. Operators and retailers tend to prioritize Googles speakers over those from Amazon, as Amazon is in the tricky position of being a direct competitor. But Amazon is fighting back hard, and the sheer quantity of Alexa Skills and smart home integrations will be tough for any competitor to match.

The third and fourth posts on the global list are taken by Chinese companies- Alibaba and Xiaomi.

Alibaba takes the third spot with 11.8 per cent Tmall Genie shipment and Xiaomi on fourth with 600,000 shipments of Xiao AI speaker. Hattie He, Canalys Research Analyst, credited Alibaba's superior channel reach and powerful marketing capabilities for its higher shipments than Xiaomi.

Awareness of smart speakers and their uses is growing steadily among Chinese consumers. But competition is building quickly for Alibaba, as IPO-hopeful Xiaomi takes to the smart speaker segment with much vigor in 2018.(Source)

Karnataka CM Kumaraswamy to face floor test today; BJP fields nominee for speaker's post

Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy will face a floor test on Friday, which he is widely expected to sail through, barring any unforeseeable events, ending the 10-day political uncertainty in the state.

BJP's BS Yeddyurappa, who was sworn in as the chief minister + on May 17, had stepped down two days later in the face of imminent defeat without going through the motions + of a floor test.

Unfazed by Yeddyurappa's unceremonious exit, the BJP today fielded its senior leader S Suresh Kumar, a fifth term MLA, for the post of the speaker + whose election will precede the trust vote.

Ramesh Kumar of Congress too filed his nomination for the post as the candidate of the ruling coalition.

"Based on the strength of numbers and various other factors, our party leaders have confidence that I will win. With that confidence I have filed my nomination," the BJP candidate said, indicating that the saffron party was keen on giving the JD(S)-Congress alliance a run for its money.

When asked about his chances of winning, the BJP nominee said, "I have filed my nomination. There is election tomorrow at 12:15 pm. After the election you will get to know."

Congress Legislature Party leader and former chief minister Siddaramaiah exuded confidence about the coalition candidate's victory.

"I got to know that the BJP has also filed nomination. I hope they will withdraw. If election happens, Ramesh Kumar's victory is certain," he said.

The 224-member assembly has an effective strength of 221, as election for Jayanagar seat was countermanded + following the death of the BJP candidate, and deferred in RR Nagar + over allegations of electoral malpractices.

After taking oath, Kumaraswamy had voiced confidence about winning the floor test, but said he had an apprehension that the BJP would try to repeat "Operation Kamala" to bring down his government.

The term "Operation Kamala" or "Operation Lotus" was coined in 2008, when the BJP state chief B S Yeddyurappa took over as the chief minister. The party was short of three MLAs for a simple majority.

As part of "Operation Kamala", named after the BJP's election symbol lotus, some Congress and JD(S) MLAs were persuaded to join the saffron party, relinquish their membership of the assembly, and recontest elections. Their resignations brought down the numbers required for a victory during the trust vote, which Yeddyurappa won.

Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone to Marry on November 19 in Mumbai

After Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja's big fat Punjabi wedding, looks like another popular couple is ready to tie the knot soon.

Ever since the beginning of 2018, rumours of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone tying the knot have been sending fans into a tizzy. We've been hearing news of guests lists, fancy wedding venues abroad, and shortlisted wedding dates.

If a report in SpotBoyE is to be believed, Ranveer and Deepika have zeroed in on November 19, for the wedding date. And just like Sonam, the wedding will most probably be in Mumbai too.

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's wedding rumours have been going on since quite some time but if a latest report in SpotBoye is to be believed then the couple has finally zeroed in on a date and it's November 19, which is just a few months away.

The report further suggests that like Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja's wedding, theirs too will take place in Mumbai. It's being said that Ranveer and Deepika were considering July to make their relationship official but they had to push it to November because of their respective work commitments.

Recently there were rumours of Deepika keeping her calendar free for the wedding by not signing any new films, which was later denied by a source close to the actress. But, it turns out that DP has indeed been shopping for her trousseau. Rumours have it that her parents had flown down to zero in on the wedding date and to help her with the wedding shopping.

While both Ranveer and Deepika have talked about their belief in the institution of marriage in the past, there hasn't been any official announcement made about the wedding date as of yet.

Talking about her equation with Ranveer, Deepika had earlier told Filmfare, "When we're with each other, we don't need anything or anyone else. We're comfortable in each other's presence. Sometimes it's intelligent conversation, sometimes just silence, sometimes there's a childlike innocence. We keep each other grounded. We are good in that sense."

The two brightest actors of Bollywood are believed to have had begun dating during the shooting of their film Goliyon Ke Rasleela Ram Leela in 2013.

Ajay Devgn introduces wife Kajol's wax statue in the most hilarious way

Ajay Devgn and Kajol have been married for almost two decades now. This iconic jodi of b-town has not just given many Bollywood blockbusters together but continue to make us believe that opposites attract. After all, Ajay Devgn is known as the man with a few words while his wifey dear is known to be an outspoken person who never tries to hide away her feelings.

So, keeping up with the humour and jokes around every married couple, Devgn introduced us to his wife's wax statue in the most hilarious way.

On Thursday, Kajol unveiled her wax statue at Madame Tussauds in Singapore. While hubby dear was busy with shooting back home, the actress was happily accompanied by her daughter Nysa for the red carpet affair. DDLJ actress shared a picture of herself with Nysa, right before the event and captioned it, "My little girl with me on a red carpet for the first time.

Twinning in black, the mother-daughter duo looked delighted with Kajol's wax statue being unveiled. But you just can't  Ajay Devgn's take on the proud moment for the family. He took to Twitter to share a fun boomerang with Nysa standing between her mother and statue and captioned it, " Meet the silent Kajol" Lol!

 Ajay Devgn and Kajol's elder child Nysa is currently studying in Singapore. In an interview to Hindustan Times, the actress had earlier spoken about how it was a tough decision for her to send her away for higher studies. She said, "It was very, very tough for me, but not as tough as it was probably for Ajay because I have myself studied in a boarding school away from home. It's really difficult for any parent to be separated from your children, but at the end of the day, it's for their own good."

On the work front, Kajol is gearing for the release of Pradeep Sarkar's film Eela, which is co-produced by Ajay Devgn.

Sunanda Pushkar death case transferred to designated court

A Delhi court on Thursday transferred the Sunanda Pushkar death case to the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM), Samar Vishal, and fixed the next date of hearing as May 28.
Earlier on May 14, the Delhi Police filed a charge sheet in the court and named Sunanda's husband and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor as accused, under sections 306 (Abetment of suicide) and 498A (Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Tharoor, however, had dismissed the chargesheet filed by Delhi Police as "preposterous".
"I have taken note of the filing of this preposterous charge sheet and intend to contest it vigorously. No one who knew Sunanda believes she would ever have committed suicide, let alone abetment on my part. If this is conclusion arrived at after 4+ years of investigation, (contd.)," the Congress leader tweeted.

"it does not speak well of the methods or motivations of the Delhi Police. In oct 17, the Law Officer made a statement in the Delhi High Court that they have not found anything against anyone and now in 6 months they say that I have abetted a suicide. unbelievable!," the tweet read.

Sunanda was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a suite of a five-star hotel in Delhi on the night of January 17, 2014. On February 23, Tharoor said he was looking for a conclusion in his wife's death case.
Incidentally, on that day, Tharoor's statement came hours after the Supreme Court issued a notice to the Delhi Police on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy's appeal challenging the Delhi High Court order dismissing his plea for a Special Investigation Team (SIT)-led probe into the case.

Sonia Gandhi-Mayawati hug steals the limelight at HD Kumaraswamy's swearing-in ceremony

As opposition leaders came together in a show of strength during the swearing-in ceremony of Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy yesterday, one moment stood out — that of BSP supremo Mayawati and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi hugging each other affectionately.
A photograph of the hug has done the rounds on social media, and on Twitter it received mixed responses. Some hailed it as an iconic image, others were not convinced.
Analysing the chemistry between the two leaders, a Twitter user said that both the leaders look "comfortable" in each other's company.

 I have not seen behan Kumari Mayawati so comfortable with any LEADER till date just look at her body language how much comfortable she is with Sonia ji holding her hand two powerful ladies salute

 The Sonia Mayawati picture of bohimen the picture of the day.Must have sent shivers down the spine of the BJP.If it can sustain and continue opposition on a strong wicket.Will give the BJP a run for its money.

Sonia-Mayawati head -bumping shows a new era of appeasement politics of dalit vote after muslim appeasement which almost all opposition are doing. Now Sonia wants a little edge over others...

In February this year, BSP’s Mayawati and JD(S) Kumaraswamy had decided to contest the assembly elections in Karnataka together, sending strong signals for the possibility of the formation of a third front.

Earlier this week, on Monday, Mayawati held a meeting with the JD(S) leader and discussed the role regional parties could play to stop the BJP from returning to power in the Lok Sabha polls next year.

This was the first time since 1996 that BSP opted for a pre-poll alliance and chose to play second fiddle to the JD(S) in Karnataka, apparently in an apparent bid to strengthen the third front to fight the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, which political experts view as Mayawati’s agenda to revive her dwindling fortunes in her home state, where her party was decimated in last year's assembly elections.
The swearing-in ceremony was organised as a show of opposition unity after Congress extended support to JD(S) to keep BJP, which emerged as the single-largest party, out of power in Karnataka.

Pakistani actress Mahira Khan's debut Cannes journey was an eventful one :Cannes 2018

After making beautiful appearances at the red carpet of Cannes Film Festival, Bollywood divas- Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kangana Ranaut, Sonam Kapoor have returned to the Bay, after spelling their magic at the French Riviera. Along with these stunning beauties, Pakistani actress Mahira Khan also made a mark at the prestigious festival.

Mahira Khan made her Cannes debut this year and chose vibrant colours to represent her brand. The actress walked the red carpet for cosmetics giant L'Oreal Paris. To end her Cannes trip, the Raees actress wore a pastel saree with a ruffled border, black sleeveless blouse with diamonds cut on it. Hair tied in a fish-tail braid, she looked ethereal.

She captioned the picture as, "I don’t know how kids these days post so many pictures so quickly.. this is killin’ me! (in a good way, in a good way..)

Earlier, she had worn a black off-shoulder dress after the ensemble she was due to wear got stuck at the customs and didn't turn up in time. "I'm nervous," she wrote before making her red carpet debut, but her confident demeanour was a head-turner at the gala, where she and Sonam walked one after another. Mahira dedicated her representation at Cannes as an "ode to the people I have loved so much.... and have inspired me since I was a little girl. Starting from my Ama to Minaal and Rooha... down to all my girls back home in Pakistan".

Rohingya terrorists robbed & killed innocent villagers’

Rohingya Muslim militants brandishing guns and swords massacred 105 Hindu men, women and children over two days in Myanmar last year, Amnesty International has revealed.

The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), a Rohingya rebel group, terrorised, murdered and abducted Hindus in northern Rakhine state just before a disproportionate campaign of violence was carried out by Myanmar’s security forces against the Rohingya, forcing some 700,000 of them to flee to Bangladesh.

On August 25, 2017, the same day that ARSA staged coordinated attacks on 30 police outposts and border guards, killing a dozen government forces and sparking the government crackdown, ARSA captured scores of Hindus and slaughtered them outside their own villages.

Twenty Hindu men, 10 women, and 23 children, 14 of whom were under the age of eight, were killed by ASRA in the village of Ah Nauk Kha Maung Seik, according to Amnesty. The same day all the 46 Hindus in the neighbouring village of Ye Bauk Kyar disappeared.

Based on dozens of interviews with survivors, as well as forensic pathologists’ analyses of photographic evidence, Amnesty has revealed how at 8 am on August 25, 2017, the ARSA attacked the Hindu community in the village of Ah Nauk Kha Maung Seik in northern Maungdaw township. Armed men dressed in black and Rohingya villagers, who are predominantly Muslim, rounded up their Hindu neighbours, robbed, bound, and blindfolded them, before marching them to the outskirts of the village where ARSA fighters killed 53 of them, execution-style, starting with the men.

Eight Hindu women and eight Hindu children were abducted and spared after the Rohingya rebel fighters forced the women to agree to “convert” to Islam.

“The men held knives and long iron rods. They tied our hands behind our backs and blindfolded us. One of them said: ‘You and Rakhine (Buddhist) are the same, you have a different religion, you can’t live here. I gave them my gold and money,” 22-year-old survivor Bina Bala told Amnesty.

Raj Kumari, 18, said: “They slaughtered the men. We were told not to look … They had knives, spades and iron rods. … We hid ourselves in the shrubs and could see … My uncle, my father, my brother were all slaughtered.”

Formila, 20, told Amnesty the fighters returned “with blood on their swords and hands” and told the women the men had been killed. Later, as Formila and the other abducted women were being marched away, she turned back and saw ARSA fighters kill the other women and children. “I saw men holding the heads and hair of the women, then they cut their throats,” she said.

What is Indian Railways VIKALP scheme? If your train ticket is on waiting list, you should know this

The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corp (IRCTC) has from time to time introduced various facilities for train passengers in making their journey enjoyable. The Indian Railways catering service provider has taken care of passengers booking their tatkal tickets to reserved ones as well. But many of us are not even aware of a scheme launched by IRCTC namely ‘VIKALP’, which takes care of passengers who are under waiting list. Being under a waiting list is very common for those who travel frequently by trains, and there have been times when, despite booking tickets one month or weeks prior to departure, we sometimes do end up under  the waiting list category. Indian Railways VIKALP scheme is the solution.

In case your train ticket goes into the waiting list, here’s what you need to know about VIKALP scheme.

The scheme is applicable to all waiting list passengers irrespective of booking quota and concession.

Under this scheme, passengers will opt max 5 trains for VIKALP scheme.
VIKALP opted passengers who booked in waiting and remain fully Wait listed after charting will only be considered for allotment in the alternate train.
    Fully WL passengers opted for VIKALP should check PNR status after charting.
    No extra charges shall be taken from passenger or any refund shall be provided for difference of fare.
    Either all passengers of a PNR or none will be transferred to alternate train in same class. The passenger can be considered for shifting to a train leaving from any station amongst the cluster of stations defined by Railways based on the convenience of the passengers to a station serving the destination station on the same analogy.
    The VIKALP opted passengers who have been provided accommodation in the alternate train will not figure in the wait listed charts of their original train. A separate list of passengers transferred in alternate train will be pasted along with the CONFIRMED and WAITLIST charts.
    The passenger allotted alternate accommodation can travel in the alternate train on authority of original ERS/SMS.
    In rare situations, passengers who have been provided alternate accommodation might get dropped/re-allotted in alternate train due to last minute change in composition of the alternate train at the time of chart preparation. So, passengers who have been provided alternate accommodation should check PNR status also after preparation of charts of the alternate train for final status.
    Train list once selected under VIKALP scheme cannot be changed.
    VIKALP Scheme once successfully opted cannot be changed.

Body of Pak exchange student shot in Texas school shooting arrives in Karachi

Sabika Sheikh was among 10 students and staff slain Friday at Santa Fe High School. The alleged shooter is 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, who is being held on capital murder charges.

The body of a 17-year-old Pakistani exchange student killed in a mass shooting at a high school in Texas has arrived in the port city of Karachi, where her family lives. Sabika Sheikh was among 10 students and staff slain Friday at Santa Fe High School. The alleged shooter is 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, who is being held on capital murder charges.

Sabika had planned to return home in a few weeks for Eid al-Fitr, the three-day holiday marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Her body reached her hometown before dawn Wednesday and she was to be buried later in the day.

Sabika was her family’s oldest child and began classes at Santa Fe High School last August.

Sabika, a Karachi teenager, was studying at Santa Fe High School in Texas on a US State Department scholarship under the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) programme. She had been attending classes at the school since August last, and said that getting accepted into a US programme to study was the best thing that ever happened to her.

Sabika, the eldest of three sisters, was to return home in Pakistan in three weeks, by Eid ul-Fitr. Her host family said their time with her was "such a precious gift."

A memorial service was held for the young woman at a mosque Sunday night in Stafford. A memorial of flowers and messages for Sabika has been grown outside of the high school.

Meanwhile, her father Abdul Aziz Sheikh, has urged US President Donald Trump to take action.

Her family was notified on Friday that Sabika was one of the 10 killed at the hands of a gunman inside of Sante Fe High School. Sheikh now has a strong message for the president.

"I would like to say to the Trump administration, kindly stop this type of incident," Sheikh said.

Sheikh called on Trump to reform gun laws in the name of his daughter.

Army major involved in human shield row detained with woman at Srinagar hotel

Major Leetul Gogoi, the Rashtriya Rifles officer who shot to fame after tying a Kashmiri civilian to the front of his jeep to perceptibly prevent stone-pelting attacks, was detained by the police on Wednesday in circumstances that are still unclear.

Also detained with him was a woman and a local man. The woman was initially suspected to be a minor but the police later confirmed she was over 18 years of age. They, however, did not share details on her age.

According to the police, they were summoned to Grand Mamta Hotel, where Gogoi had booked a room in his own name (the booking had been done online). The two locals came to the hotel and asked to go up to Gogoi’s room and got into an altercation with the hotel staff when they were not allowed. The hotel staff called the police.

Gogoi has been released and has rejoined his unit, police said, adding that the two locals were still being questioned.

“A police party was deputed to the hotel, and it surfaced that a woman and a man, Sameer Ahmed of Budgam, had come to see some person in the hotel. The hotel reception didn’t allow them to meet the person. All three were brought to the police station,” said a police spokesperson.

He added that they later learnt that the woman had come to meet an army officer.

North Srinagar’s superintendent of police Sajad Ahmad Shah declined to name the army officer, but the hotel management said the booking was in the name of Leetul Gogoi, a resident of Tinsukia, Assam. “What we know is that a man and a woman had come to meet him. The hotel staff did not allow them, leading to an altercation,’’ Shah added.

“The room was booked online. A person came along with a local girl and sought (to go to) the room. Our hotel manager asked him for his identity and the identity of the girl. The girl was a local and according to our hotel policy we don’t provide rooms to local unmarried couples,’’ said the hotel owner, Manzoor Ahmad.

A person familiar with the matter said that Gogoi claimed he had booked the room to meet with a “source”, although this is highly irregular and not in keeping with army procedures. Hindustan Times couldn’t independently confirm this.

Last April, during by-elections for the Srinagar Lok Sabha seat, Major Gogoi had tied a civilian, Farooq Ahmad Dar, to a bonnet of his jeep as a human shield to deter stone-pelters from targeting his troops. The incident led to a massive human rights controversy. Army Chief General Bipin Rawat awarded Gogoi a commendation card for his “sustained efforts” on counter-insurgency operations.

All the deep cut jokes in Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 2 that you might have missed

Considering the amount of pop-culture references in Deadpool 2, it’s likely that you missed many of them - especially a split-second celebrity cameo. You’ll probably have to watch the film again (and again, and again) to note (but not necessarily understand) every joke Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with the Mouth makes in the superhero sequel. But we’ve collected a few here for your convenience, if only to reassure you that yes, that was indeed Brad Pitt that you saw for ⅓ of a second.

We saw several of them in the trailer, but the final film had more than a handful of jokes made at the expense of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, clearly the most popular (and therefore most easy to lampoon) superhero franchise out there. It’s an added bonus that both Deadpool 2 and Avengers: Infinity War share in Josh Brolin an actor who plays major roles in both films.

Deadpool doesn’t let this opportunity go to waste. He calls Cable, Brolin’s time travelling cyborg, ‘a grumpy old  with a Winter Soldier arm’ at one point in the film. But if that was too subtle for you, he goes right ahead and calls him ‘Thanos’ in one scene, a rather blunt reference to his Infinity War character.

All the deep cut jokes in Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 2 that you might have missed

His Indian cabbie, Dopinder, meanwhile gets the title ‘Brown Panther’ - a dig at Marvel’s Black Panther - and to pacify Juggernaut in the film’s finale, Deadpool tries using Black Widow’s lullaby for Hulk. ‘Sun’s getting real low, big guy,” he says. And speaking of Black Widow, did you catch his nickname for Zazie Beetz’s Domino? He calls her ‘black Black Widow’.

Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables.
Even in death, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine hasn’t been spared Deadpool’s cracks. The film basically opens with Deadpool mourning Wolverine’s death in Logan, as a figurine of the clawed mutant in his death pose twirls around before him.

And Reynolds bookends the film with yet another dig at Wolverine - specifically the much derided X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Deadpool, now armed with Cable’s time travelling device, goes back into the past and murders the older version of his character while Wolverine looks on. “Just cleaning up the timeline,” he says.

But between these two moments, there’s one that more difficult to spot. When Deadpool is laying out his plan for an ambush, in which he will be joined by the X-Force, his drawn-in-crayon map notes a very specific person. Russell, the young mutant everyone seems to be after, has been given a codename: Prisoner 24601. The more literary of readers would recall that that’s the number assigned to Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. And who played Valjean on the big screen most recently? Yup, Hugh Jackman.

Here’s Really Why Aamir Said No to Sunil Dutt’s Role in ‘Sanju’

The Dangal actor goes on to talk about how moved he was with Sanjay Dutt’s character and he is sure that Ranbir Kapoor has done a great job. And just like us, he can’t wait to watch the film.

This conversation about the casting of Dutt got Aamir all nostalgic. He even reminisced some moments he had spent with Sunil Dutt. He mentioned that Dutt sahab was the one person who would always send him telegrams. So every now and then, Aamir would get a telegram from him. From Diwali and Eid wishes to birthday greetings, and sometimes even congratulatory telegrams after a movie’s success.

One particular incident that Aamir holds very close to his heart is during the time of the 1993 Mumbai riots. At that time, the film industry had taken a delegation to the then Chief Minister Sudhakarrao Naik - requesting him to bring the army, and do what must be done to stop the riots.

So, Aamir remembers, how the film industry had come together. Some 30-40 people had driven to the CM's office. But since no immediate action was taken, they decided to sit under the Mahatma Gandhi statue near Mantralaya and hold a peaceful protest. All 40 of them came and sat under the statue, promising to hold protests until the violence didn't stop. They decided to do the protest in turns. The first day five people decided to stay under the statue all night.

Aamir says, “Dutt sahab, Yash Chopra, Johnny Walker, me and the fifth person was a producer, I am forgetting his name. So five of us stayed alone at night, everyone left. At that time, we didn't have any security and all. There was absolutely nobody. Only the five of us and we spent the whole night under the statue and in the morning others came with chai. We sat there for three to four days as a non-violent protest.”

I remember that night very well because we were sitting there all night. It was amazing for me because I was surrounded by Johnny Walker, Dutt sahab, Yash Chopra. And I’m a cinema-lover. So I was asking them all these old stories and Dutt sahab was telling us about his career and Johnny sahab was telling us about his career. It was a very memorable night for me, spending it under the statue with them. Dutt sahab was a graceful, dignified, very principled, strong gentle person. He was warm and apathetic. 

This Tribute To Sridevi Moved Daughters Janhvi, Khushi And Husband Boney Kapoor

A special tribute to Sridevi by her three female fans moved the late actress' filmmaker husband Boney Kapoor and daughters Janhvi and Khushi. According to an IANS report, Janhvi, Khushi and Boney Kapoor invited Paridhi Bhati, 26, Bhavana Varma, 33, Tonu Sojatia, 29 for a meeting at their Mumbai home and of course, to get a glimpse of their special tribute - a car decorated with stills from Sridevi's films. In April, the three women drove from Pune to Goa and back in the car as a part of an all-women safari and now, they met the Kapoors over the weekend. "We were thrilled. They hosted us for nearly 40 minutes, came down to see our car and admired it very much. They insisted we stay back for lunch but we had time constraints, so we enjoyed delicious coffee with them," Tonu Sojatia told IANS.

"We consider it an honour that Boney Kapoor invited us to meet and acknowledged our efforts. He is such a humble, down-to-earth personality and even Janhvi is such a doting daughter. For us it was a touching and emotional meeting. We miss Sridevi," Tonu Sojatia added.

Tonu Sojatia told IANS that they've covered Sridevi's entire film journey from the age of 4 to her last film MOM, for which she posthumously won Best Actress National Award. "The Sridevi-theme shows various moods of Sridevi - love, anger, innocence and dance - with corresponding images from some of her most well-known films in Hindi and south Indian languages, including Lamhe, Chandni," she told IANS (SOURCE)

Congress Gets Deputy Chief Minister, Lion's Share In Karnataka Ministries

 Karnataka will have its second chief minister in a week as Janata Dal Secular chief HD Kumaraswamy will take oath today along with his deputy, Congress' G Parameshwara. There was no word on whether there would be a second deputy for Mr Kumaraswamy - a Congress plan on which the two parties did not appear to be on the same page.

At a meeting this evening, the two parties also finalised the shape of the cabinet. Of the state's 34 ministries, 22 would go to the Congress and 12, including the post of the Chief Minister, will be with the JD(S), said Mr Parameshwara, who also heads the state unit of the Congress.

The berths will be decided after floor test, which will be held tomorrow, said KK Venugopal, one of the key Congress leaders from Karnataka.

The post of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker will be evenly divided - the Speaker will be from the Congress, his deputy will be from the Janata Dal United. The Congress has named Ramesh Kumar for the job, the JD(S) is yet to name its candidate.

The crucial meeting was held after a green signal from Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, whom Mr Kumaraswamy met in Delhi on Monday.
