    Actor-turned-politician Mithun threatens to ‘chop up’ Muslims

    Actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has incited violence against Muslims in India, threatening to “chop them up” and burying them in the ground.

    As per the details, a viral video of his address at a political rally in West Bengal showed him responding to a statement made by opposition member Humayun Kabir ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

    “A leader says there are 70 per cent Muslims and 30 per cent Hindus [and] that he will ‘cut’ and throw them in the Bhagirathi [River]… I thought the chief minister [Mamata Banerjee] would say something. She didn’t… so now I am saying, we will chop them [up] and bury them in the ground,” the BJP leader can be heard as saying while addressing a ceremony to kick-off BJP’s membership drive in West Bengal.

    “I am not the chief minister… but I am saying this,” he said, adding that his party would do anything to win the “throne” of Bengal. “It will belong to the BJP after the 2026 assembly election.”

    “I am saying it again and again… we will do anything… anything. I am saying this with Home Minister Amit Shah Ji sitting here — we will do anything,” Chakraborty asserted.

    “I say we will cut you up and throw you, not in the Bhagirathi because that is our mother, but we will throw you in the ground,” he threatened in response to Humayun Kabir’s pre-election comment.

    “You are 30 per cent [of the people here] but we are 70 per cent… if you think you can demolish mosques and Muslims will sit back and relax… [you are wrong]. I will leave politics if I don’t drown you people in the Bhagirathi within two hours, I will leave politics. I will not let you guys stay in Shaktipur,” Kabir had said.

    Notably, the opposition member was reprimanded by the Indian Election Commission over his remarks.

    Mithun Chakraborty, however, relentlessly accused the Bengal state government of not allowing the Hindu community to cast votes.

    The 74-year-old actor has also served as a member of the Upper House of the parliament, the Rajya Sabha, for which he was nominated by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He resigned from Banarjee’s All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) in 2016 and later joined the BJP.

    ‘Maine usay phone kia’: Farhan Saeed opens up about Bollywood debut opposite Urvashi Rautela

    Currently riding high on the success of his blockbuster drama, Mere Humsafar opposite Hania Aamir, singer-actor Farhan Saeed has opened up about his Bollywood debut, which never saw the light of the day.

    The Suno Chanda star revealed that he was earlier offered a Bollywood film because of his hit songs.

     “I was offered a Bollywood film with Mithun Chakraborty’s son, which also starred Urvashi Rautela. But Urvashi and I backed out of it together because we realized it was not something that we wanted to do.” He shared that upon returning to Pakistan after making music for Bollywood, he was offered Udaari which became a huge hit.

    He made that decision over the phone with the Pagalpanti diva.

    Now, years down the line, Saeed has been enjoying acting and is looking forward to his Lollywood debut, Tich Button soon.

    Farhan has sung Bollywood songs like “Thori Dair Aur Teher Jaa”.

    Recently he also broke his silence on the public speculation about his personal life and equation with partner Urwa Hocane.

    While getting candid about it, he stated that the constant speculation and interference in his personal life is a part of his job as when fans shower him with so much love it is understandable that they are emotionally invested and want to know more.

    “Ideally, I think to comment on the things which are shared but that’s idealism. When you are famous and in the public eye, there is always a price to pay. Criticism and praise come hand in hand. Just answer want you to want to and ignore other things.”

    The Suno Chanda star added further that he just answers what he wishes to and ignores everything else as every job comes with its advantages and disadvantages.

    Earlier last year it was reported that Farhan and Urwa have parted ways amicably, however recently some news portals informed that maybe the couple has reconciled. However the Udaari pair has never made a public statement about their split or alleged patch-up.
