    Bollywood King Shahrukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, has stepped into the spotlight as a creator and director, bringing an exciting new project to Netflix with his debut series.

    Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, Bella Bajaria, shared at a grand event in Los Angeles that the series has already generated buzz in the entrainment industry.

    “We should collectively uplift the standards of Indian cinema, as that is the need of the hour. Those with resources often end up taking the easiest roads. We need more people behind the cameras.

  • Kangana Ranaut had to explain to Twitter that she did not eat beef

    Kangana Ranaut had to explain to Twitter that she did not eat beef

    Among the gossip spreading on social media, bigoted actress Kangana Ranaut, used X (formerly Twitter) to reject rumors about her eating beef. The controversial star stressed that she follows a healthy lifestyle based on yoga and Ayurveda.

    In a tweet she posted recently, Ranaut said, “I don’t eat beef or any other red meat. It’s shameful that there are completely false rumors about me. I’ve been supporting and talking about the yogic and Ayurvedic lifestyle for many years now. These kinds of tricks won’t make people think badly of me. The people who know me know that I’m a proud Hindu, and nothing can change their opinion.”

    An old tweet from 2019 started circulating again where Ranaut talked about her becoming a vegetarian and following a yogic lifestyle. It said, “There is nothing wrong with eating beef or eating any other meat. It’s not about religion! It’s not a hidden fact that Kangana turned vegetarian eight years ago and chose to be a yogi. She still doesn’t believe in just one religion. On the contrary, her brother eats meat” (Ranaut’s old tweet). However, Ranaut strongly denied the ideas in the old tweet. She emphasized that her beliefs match Hinduism’s principles.

    Ranaut, who recently joined politics as a candidate for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi Lok Sabha seat, organized a roadshow in the city as part of her campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024. During this event, she sought support from the people of Mandi and assured them of her dedication to representing their interests.
    Looking back on her journey in the film industry, Ranaut talked about the difficulties she faced as an outsider, especially because of her regional background and language skills. Despite these challenges, she spoke proudly of her roots in Mandi and her strong determination to succeed despite adversity.

    With her recent movie Tejas and her upcoming directorial project Emergency, based on the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Ranaut continues to make an impact both in the entertainment world and in politics.

    Kangana Ranaut criticizes celebs for performing at Ambani party

    Billionaire Indian family Ambanis have thrown a huge party worth more than a thousand crores INR, to celebrate Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding ceremonies. Many important people from various fields around the world attended. Famous Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Salman Khan, and Deepika Padukone performed at the event.

    Kangana Ranaut, who is known as the queen of controversy, indirectly criticized those who performed at the Ambani bash. She shared a screenshot of an article on the late singer, Lata Mangeshkar, on her Instagram stories.The headline read, “Even if you give me five million dollars I won’t come:When Lata Mangeshkar refused to sing at wedding.”

    Kangana compared herself to the late legendary singer, saying, “I have been through worse financial setbacks, but Lata ji and I are only two people who have massive hit songs (fashion ka jalwa, ghani baawli ho gayi, London thumkda, Sadi galli, Vijay bhawa etc.) to our credit.”
    She talked about facing financial struggles but never dancing at various weddings. Kangana mentioned the importance of solid willpower and dignity in a person’s character.

    She added, “But no matter how many temptations I got I never danced in the weddings, many super hit item songs were also offered to me, soon I avoided award shows also. It takes strong character and dignity to say no to fame and money, in the world of short cuts young generation needs to understand only wealth one can acquire is the wealth of integrity (thumbs up emoji).”

    ’10 saal me aik film hit’: Kangana Ranaut slams Shah Rukh Khan, shares hateful tweets

    Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut took a dig at Shah Rukh Khan and his filmography after a netizen wrote back to Kangana saying, “Kangana Ji’s film Dhakad earned 55 lakh rupees on the first day and lifetime collection 2.58 crores. While Pathaan film earned more than 100 crores on the first day.”

    Responding to the comment, the Manikarnika star said, “Yes, Dhakad was a historic flop, when did I deny this? This is SRK ji’s first successful film in ten years, we also take inspiration from him, I hope we will also get a similar chance that India gave him. After all this India is great, it is generous, Jai Shri Ram.”

    She also tweeted a series of hate tweets regarding Pathaan’s success and its slightly decent portrayal of Pakistani agencies.

    After noticing the same, former Pakistani actress Noor Bukhari took to Instagram and called out Indian actress Kangana Ranaut following her ‘hateful comments’ about Pakistan as the Bollywood actress took a jibe at Shahrukh Khan’s film ‘Pathaan’ for depicting “enemy nation Pakistan in a good light”. 

    This is what Noor wrote while giving Kangana’s face a silent but tight slap:

    It all started when Kangana, whose twitter account was just restored, praised the film Pathaan for doing exceptionally good business throughout the world cinemas. Later, Kangana realized her mistake and the ‘undisputed queen of feuds’ could not restrain her impulse and abruptly took a U-turn. In a thread of tweets, she lambasted the Pathaan for showing the enemy country Pakistan and ISI in a good light. Her scathing tweets hurt the sentiments of Pakistani people.

  • ‘Real name is Aslam, he converted, incites people for violence’: Kangana Ranaut targets Mahesh Bhatt

    ‘Real name is Aslam, he converted, incites people for violence’: Kangana Ranaut targets Mahesh Bhatt

    Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut is known for her unfiltered statements. From calling out ‘movie mafia’ to slamming filmmaker Karan Johar, she has always bluntly raised her points. Now she has accused director Mahesh Bhatt of casually inciting people for violence.

    Kangana Ranaut targets Mahesh Bhatt; says he converted his religion to marry Soni Razdan

    The Queen actor took to her verified Instagram handle and shared a series of video stories, which featured Mahesh Bhatt. In the videos, Bhatt can be addressing a crowd. Ranaut also alleged that his ‘real name’ was not Mahesh, but ‘Aslam’. In the following story, which had another part of the same video, she wrote, “I am told his (Mahesh Bhatt) real name is Aslam… he converted to marry his second wife (Soni Razdan)… it is a beautiful name, why hide it?”

    Kangana added, “He must use his real name, not represent a certain religion, when he has converted…”

    Commenting on another one where Bhatt is seen speaking about Islam as a peaceful religion and quoting a verse from the Holy Quran, she added, “I am told his real name is Aslam. He converted to marry his second wife (Soni Razdan) It is a beautiful name, why hide it?”

    She further wrote, “He must use his real name, not represent a certain religion when he has converted.” 


    This was not the first time when the 35-year-old actor has targeted the veteran director. In 2020, she had accused the filmmaker of assaulting her when she turned down his daughter Pooja Bhatt’s film. On the other hand, before the release of Mahesh’s daughter Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi, Ranaut had taken an indirect dig at father-daughter duo. While slamming them on her Instagram stories, she said that the film’s blunder was “wrong casting,” referring to Alia as “daddy’s angel” and Mahesh as “movie mafia.”

    Earlier this year the Woh Lamhe siren strongly criticised a video of a little girl who recreated a scene of Alia Bhatt’s upcoming biopic film, Gangubai Kathiawadi. An Instagram influencer, Kiara Khanna who is also known as ‘chhoti Alia Bhatt’, re-enacted a dialogue of Alia from her upcoming film which went viral across social media.

    'Obscene': Kangana Ranaut lashes out at child for imitating Alia Bhatt’s 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' scene

    She shared two screenshots on Instagram stories and tagged Minister of Women and Child Development, Smriti Irani.

    She penned, “Should this child imitate a sex worker with a beedi in her mouth and crude and obscene dialogues? Look at her body language, is it ok to sexualize her at this age? There are hundreds of other children who are being used similarly.”

    The film is based on the life of a real sex worker based in Mumbai who is mentioned in the book ‘Mafia Queens of Mumbai’ by S. Hussain Zaidi. It is being released under the banner of Bhansali Productions with the collaboration of Pen India Limited. Ajay Devgn and Vijay Raaz will also be seen in interesting roles.

    She also slammed Deepika Padukone and Ananya‘s film, Gehraiyaan.

    She wrote, “I am also a millennial but I identify and understand this kind of romance … in the name of millennial/new age/urban movies don’t sell trash pls … bad movies are bad movies no amount of skin show or p*rnography can _ save it … it’s a basic fact koi gehraiyaan wali baat nahi hai (there is no depth in it).”

    ‘Cultural shock’: Kangana Ranaut reveals Mumbai men split bills on dates, Delhi men pay for both

    Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut recently appeared on the YouTube Channel, Curly Tales’ show ‘Sunday Brunch’, where the Gangster diva revealed her observation about men from different Indian states.

    Ranaut shared that when she was new in Mumbai as a model, she was slightly shocked to see how men in Mumbai ask to split the bills on dates which was a culture shock for her as she is from Manali. Earlier she also did theater and modelling in Delhi and no man ever asked her to pay the bills on dates.

    Kangana mentioned that in the initial days of her career, she used to live with 5-6 other girls as a paying guest when she had a limited amount of money. When she was asked how her food choices used to be in those days, the actress said that for her Delhi was a very different experience. She said that friends of friends or their boyfriends used to often take them out on rides and pay for their food too. She added that though they used eat very little, they often visited fancy places. Kangana added that when she started earning, she too used to pay at times, but there was no stress about paying. The actress said that in Mumbai, things were different.

    She said, “But when I came to Mumbai, even if you go on a date, you have to Dutch. So this was very new to me, it was a bit of a culture shock. Even in Chandigarh I never paid on a date. But in Mumbai everybody is so practical that even if you are on a date you have to pay equal. If you have water then you pay for it. I think it’s fine. I don’t think it’s not cool, it’s cool.”

    ‘My Muslim friends eat pork and drink’: Kangana Ranaut slams Muslims, defends Nupur Sharma

    Indian actor and BJP supporter Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram story to defend politician Nupur Sharma’s controversial remark on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

    The Woh Lamhe star wrote, “Many of my Muslim friends drink, smoke, have premarital sex, don’t wear a burka, use swear words, eat pork and because of work situations at times don’t even follow all guidelines… it’s fine beauty of India’s freedom nahi toh not just Nupur but everyone will become criminals.”

    Kangana Ranaut Defends Nupur Sharma's Controversial Remark On Prophet Muhammad

    BJP leader and spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s comments on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received a lot of flak from international communities. Countries like UAE, Oman, Indonesia, Iraq, the Maldives, Jordan, Libya, and Bahrain strongly condemned her comments.

    This is not the first time that Kangana came to Nupur Sharma’s defense. She previously wrote on her Instagram story, “Nupur is entitled to her opinions, this is not Afghanistan, we have a properly functioning government which is chosen with a process called democracy… just a reminder for those who keep forgetting.”

    Recently, senior Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah shared his thoughts on why the three Khans of Bollywood – Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, have remained silent on the issue. The veteran actor said to NDTV, “I cannot speak for them. I am not in the position they are in. I feel they think they would be risking too much. But then, I don’t know how they explain to their own conscience about it. But I think they are in a position where they have too much to lose.”

    He also gave an example of Aryan Khan’s arrest in an alleged drug case. What happened to Shah Rukh Khan and the dignity with which he faced it was admirable. It was nothing but a witch-hunt. He has kept his mouth shut. All he did was support Trinamool and applaud Mamata Banerjee,” he said.

    ‘Take a plane for Tiktok videos’, Kangana Ranaut thinks Qatar Airways spoof video is ‘real’

    Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut seems to have fallen for a spoof, again.

    Spoof video

    After Qatar rebuked India for the derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokespersons Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal, #BycottQatarAirways started trending on Indian Twitter.

    An Indian Twitter user ‘Vashudev’ posted a video calling for the boycott of Qatar Airways.

    Later, a spoof video with Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker replying to Vashudev’s boycott call in an interview with Al Jazeera went viral.

    “Vashudev is our biggest shareholder with a total investment of ₹634.50 rupees. We don’t know how to operate anymore. We have grounded all the flights … we are requesting Vashudev to take this call for boycott back. This is a special kind of boycott because it is b-y-c-o-t-t. Vashudev habibi, we are willing to give you one whole plane to make your TikTok videos or maybe we can give you two litres of petrol free. Please consider our offer and take the boycott back,” Qatar Airways CEO’s voiceover says in the spoof video.

    Kangana shares spoof video on Instagram

    After the spoof video went viral, Kangana Ranauat shared it on her Instagram stories, thinking the video is ‘real’.

    “This idiot of a man has no shame bullying a poor man mocking his insignificance and place in the world…Vasudev may be poor and insignificant for a rich man like you but he has the right to express his grief, pain and disappointment in whatever context it may be… remember there is a world beyond this world where we all are equal,” wrote Kangana in one of her Insta stories.

    She continued: “All so called Indians who are cheering this bully for making fun of a poor man remember this is exactly why you all are a big bojh [burden] on this over populated country.”

    Kangana later deleted her Instagram stories after journalist and fact-checker Mohammed Zubair informed her that it was a voiceover video made by an Indian.

    Kangana shares fake Shehbaz Sharif screenshot

    This is not the first time that Kangana has fallen for fake news.

    In May, Kangana shared a screenshot on her Instagram stories that featured Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s praise for her craft and performance in Dhaakad.

    However, the screenshot featured an imposter account of PM Shehbaz and not the real one.

    Sidhu Moose Wala was set to tie the knot and visit Pakistan this year

    Indian singer Sidhu Moose Wala, 28, was shot dead on Sunday by unidentified assailants in Punjab’s Mansa district, a day after the Punjab government curtailed his security cover to crack the VIP culture. 

    According to Punjab police, Canada-based Goldy Brar has claimed responsibility for the murder of Sidhu.

    The singer was touted as a youth icon as he established his name with chartbusters like Jatt Da Muqabla, Dollar, So high and Bambiha Bole.

    Now a video from a concert of his in Dubai is going viral in which he shares his plan of visiting Pakistan by the end of this year. He wanted to perform in Lahore and Islamabad. The Game singer was also in talks for the same.

    Sidhu first asked from the crowd how many had come from Pakistan to watch his show. He then said that he received many messages from the people of Pakistan to conduct a concert in their country. Listening to their demands, Sidhu then went on to make the most awaited announcement.

    He announced from the stage that a live show will first be held in Lahore and the second in Islamabad. He also promised all the fans that the live show will surely be held in this year, 2022, itself. There couldn’t have been happier news for the Pakistani fans of Sidhu Moosewala and it was very well visible in the cheers of the crowd following Sidhu’s announcement.

    His mother, Charan Kaur is inconsolable and demands justice for her son. Her last wish to see Sidhu married is left unfilled. She was preparing for Sidhu’s marriage since January 2022, and in one of her interviews, Charan Kaur had mentioned that her son would soon get married and had also revealed that it was a love marriage. The singer was engaged and was all set to get married soon.
