    In a recent interview, Deepika had expressed excitement when asked about motherhood, stating that she and Ranveer were eagerly waiting for the day they could start expanding their family.

    Earlier, Bollywood star Ranveer Singh surprised fans by removing his wedding photos with Deepika Padukone from Instagram, months before the couple prepare to welcome their first baby. Their love story, though not like a fairytale, has won many hearts as a modern romance. They got married in 2018 in Italy, which fans remember fondly. But recent changes have worried their fans.

Now, Ranveer’s actions are making people think about why he deleted the photos and what it means for them on social media.

    While the reason behind Ranveer’s Instagram activity remains uncertain, the couple, fondly known as “DeepVeer”, fan base expressed concern over the sudden changes on social media.

    Which wish of Javed Sheikh’s was promptly granted by Shah Rukh Khan?

    We knew Shah Rukh is the badshah of Bollywood but did you know, even Lollywood actors love him?

    Veteran actor Javed Sheikh recently shared that on the set of the movie ‘Om Shanti Om,’ he made a request to Shah Rukh Khan, which was promptly fulfilled.

    Discussing his collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, Javed Sheikh said, “Shah Rukh Khan was my ‘smoking buddy’ during the filming.”
    He explained that during the shoot of ‘Om Shanti Om,’ there were two rules on the set – no photography and no smoking. Special arrangements were made for Shah Rukh Khan, with a table and an ashtray for cigarettes.
    Recalling his interaction with the Bollywood king on set, Javed Sheikh said, “When I met Shah Rukh Khan during the film shoot, he hugged me and offered assistance, saying, ‘If you need anything on the set, let me know.’ I expressed my preference for smoking and explained that I have to go out for it. Upon my request, Shah Rukh Khan immediately arranged for a table and placed an ashtray.”

    ‘Om Shanti Om’ was released in 2007, featuring actress Deepika Padukone alongside Shah Rukh Khan.

  • Anti-Pakistan Indian film ‘Fighter’ flops

    Anti-Pakistan Indian film ‘Fighter’ flops

    Karma is a queen!

    Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan and actress Deepika Padukone’s anti-Pakistan film ‘Fighter’ has flopped.

    According to Indian media reports, ‘Fighter’, which was released on January 25, did excellent business in the initial days, but gradually the film’s rule at the box office weakened.

    The reports further state that the film has practically flopped on the fifth day of its release, with business dropping by 70-80 per cent after entering the 200 crore club on the fourth day.
    Indian film analysts say that despite having anti-Pakistan content, the film failed to attract a large number of viewers.

    Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone play squadron leaders of the Indian Air Force, while Anil Kapoor depicts their commanding officer.

    We’d feel bad for them, but hey, this is payback for propaganda.

  • Why did Hrithik Roshan’s film get banned in UAE and Gulf countries?

    Why did Hrithik Roshan’s film get banned in UAE and Gulf countries?

    Earlier this week, the Bollywood propaganda action movie ‘Fighter,’ featuring Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan, became a hot topic as it got banned in several Gulf countries.
    Initially, reports suggested that the ban affected many Gulf nations except the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, recent reports from trade analysts indicate that the movie is now facing a “suspension” in the UAE, as major theater chains have stopped bookings. The film’s distributor in the UAE had recently confirmed that the film will get released. The exact reason for the ban is not disclosed, but reports suggest it’s due to “some objectionable content in the film.”
    There were earlier speculations that ‘Fighter’ was supposed to be released in the UAE with a PG 15 rating before the ban.

    Trade analyst Girish Johar confirmed the same. He stated on X, “In a setback, Fighter officially banned across Middle East regions for theatrical release. Only UAE will release the film with a PG15 classification!” Recent reports now claim that UAE has also banned the film, with confirmation from the film’s UAE distributor, as per Times of India.

    The movie’s story, which revolves around India’s response to the attack in Pulwama, India-occupied Kashmir.
    Many in Pakistan disapproved of how the Pulwama attack was depicted in the film, claiming it “exploited a sensitive matter” and promoted an “anti-Pakistan” stance. It’s believed that this criticism, combined with the film’s controversial subject, influenced the decisions of the Gulf censor boards.
    Responding to these concerns, Siddharth Anand, the film’s director, urged the public to watch the entire film for context before forming an opinion based on the trailer. He emphasized that ‘Fighter’ aims to raise questions about terrorism, not to incite hostility against any nation. The main cast echoed the sentiment.

    Even though ‘Fighter’ won’t be shown in some places, it will still be screened in theaters in India. The movie stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, along with Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi, and Sanjeeda Shaikh in the cast. Viacom18 Studios and Marflix Pictures worked together to produce the film.

  • Deepika finally responds to criticism of Koffee with Karan interview

    Deepika continues to live her best life while living rent free in the minds of haters.

    A few weeks back, Deepika and Ranveer raised eyebrows with their ‘Koffee With Karan’ interview where the two revealed they casually dated for a couple of months before getting engaged. The ‘Om Shanti Om’ actress recalled ending an abusive relationship not ready for a serious commitment. The two actors, therefore, kept seeing other people while dating each other. After the two got engaged, they decided to remain a monogamous couple.

    Deepika became the target of sexist jokes, and claims that she cheated on Ranveer during their relationship. Now, during an interview with Vogue India, the actress has declared she is past the point of letting trolls dictate her opinions.

    “When I feel really strongly or passionately about something, I don’t think twice about expressing myself. I’ve grown to become this person where I’m not afraid of speaking my truth or owning up to mistakes. I’m not afraid of saying sorry,” Deepika responded, as according to Mashable India.

    While social media users had Deepika’s back to protect her from the naysayers, the industry did as well. Host of ‘Koffee With Karan’, Karan Johar, did a livestream where he addressed the criticism over Deepika’s comment, and shut down her critics.

    “Do what you need to do because no one’s looking,” responded the celebrated director according to The Hindustan Times. “Trolling gets you nowhere. You are landing nowhere.”

  • So, Deepika-Ranveer casually dated before marriage. Why is social so pissed off?

    So, Deepika-Ranveer casually dated before marriage. Why is social so pissed off?

    Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh appeared on the Koffee With Karan show and unleashed a social media storm. Their one hour long talk featured some incredibly wholesome revelations while the two were cozying together on the couch.

    Ranveer recalled that he was blown away when he saw the actress walk into a room. Karan broke the formality of the interview to confess how their strong love and commitment made him feel lonely because he wanted the same.

    A viral clip showed Deepika talking about the begining of their relationship, confessing that the two were casually dating. Deepika and Ranveer met at Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s house, while prepping for the shoot of ‘Ram-Leela’. The ‘Piku’ actress confessed she had just gotten out of an abusive relationship that traumatised her, and she didn’t want to commit to another one. So the two actors casually dated, since Deepika was not ready for something serious after her failed relationships.

    But social media went off on a tirade, labelling Deepika a ‘slut’, ‘toxic woman who uses men’, and also saying that the two are trying to romanticise ‘open relationships’, therefore relationship standards have fallen.

    I’ll take my sweet time to explain to the nay-sayers why they’ll continue to look like losers while Deepika is laughing away with the love of her life.

    Open relationship or casually dating? Let us break down the difference

    Open relationships are when two partners who are committed to each other, choose to continue being in separate relationships with other people while remaining together. It requires both partners, who are in most cases married couples, to equally consent to the relationship and keep each other in the loop about the partners in their life. Deepika and Ranveer were not in a confirmed relationship at the time, so they could not have been doing this.

    Casual dating on the other hand is what gen-z calls today ‘situationship’. It’s when two people do not confirm they’re in a relationship and continue to see each other casually, while also seeing other partners. Since there was no commitment label on them, they are not cheating on each other.

    Got the difference? Now let’s unravel the misogyny behind this whole backlash to the ‘casual dating’ revalation.

    ‘Casual Dating’ say gussa hai, or the fact that a woman exercised free will to choose how she wants to live?

    A lot of the backlash surrounding this topic is pitting Deepika with her ex, Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, and saying he would have been trolled for doing such a thing. Several users on X complained how Alia was trolled intensely for revealing Ranbir tells her not to wear lipstick, compared to the silence of feminists when Deepika admits she was casually dating.

    There is a huge difference between the two, dear reader. The backlash to Ranbir and Alia was justified by all means because it was a grown man, married to a woman ten years his junior, who was dating her while she was in her early twenties and ordering her not to wear lipstick. Had this been Alia’s personal choice, it was acceptable but the fact that she chooses not to wear it because her husband doesn’t like it, is absolutely wrong and can never be defended.

    While here are Deepika and Ranveer, two professionals who are financially independent and clearly stressed that this was a joint decision they had made, not enforced by Deepika. Several times in the interview, Ranveer says he is well aware of Deepika’s mental health state, and he did want to ensure he could help in every way he can to make his wife feel better. Therefore, them choosing to casually date would have helped Deepika heal from an abusive relationship, but most importantly this clip proved how Ranveer was ready to do everything to prove he was the right man for Deepika, and she knew that.

    But why did social media find this clip particularly triggering? Is it because of just the label ‘casually dating’ or because we can’t handle a woman taking things at her own pace? In particular, this has more to do with our culture of romanticising the ‘sati savitri’ trope of a woman who never cheats, never loves anyone but one man for the rest of her life, and most importantly, never dictates her own needs to a man. Here is Ranveer, an accomplished actor whose recent film ‘Rocky and Rani’ made millions around the world, admitting that his biggest dream was to ‘marry Deepika Padukone’ and is getting trolled for wanting his wife to take the lead in a relationship, which she was denied in her previous one.

    This is not just about casually dating. Men are foaming at the mouth about ‘cancel culture’ and ‘double standards’ because a woman spoke about taking autonomy in a relationship. Relationship standards, family system yada yada didn’t budge an inch when Alia was openly body shamed (while pregnant!) by her husband Ranbir, who was ten years older than her while she was 22 when they were dating. But only when two equal partners open up about respecting each other’s space and trauma to let them heal before they choose to committ.

    If praising Deepika and Ranveer means having lost ‘family morals’ then please let it die. Let it all go to waste. Because with how Ranveer kept consoling Deepika indirectly by rubbing her shoulder while she talked about her anxiety attacks in 2014 is getting him being trolled as a ‘run-mureed’ then okay. We’ll keep hoping more women find men like Ranveer who love them too much to listen to ‘family morals’ cynics.
