  • ‘Paratha weds pancakes’ is how Vicky Kaushal describes his marriage to Katrina Kaif

    ‘Paratha weds pancakes’ is how Vicky Kaushal describes his marriage to Katrina Kaif

    Truly a man written by a woman.

    Vicky Kaushal is a treasure – a good looking and extremely talented man who knows that with a wife like Katrina Kaif, the proper thing to do is worship the ground she walks on.

    Recently speaking to News Tak for the promotion of his upcoming film ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’, the actor opened up about what his marriage to the Bollywood diva is like, describing it as “paratha weds pancakes”:

    “She loves pancakes, I love parathas,” he revealed, adding that Kaif loves parathas too. “She loves mom ke haath ke paranthe.”

    When Kaushal was asked about whether he would encourage people to have an arranged or love marriage, the ‘Raazi’ revealed that the most important thing is that the couple learn to accept differences and develop an understanding with each other.

    “Love is important, marriage could be love or arranged. Understanding and compassion are important. It is important to understand that they are a different person, you are a different person and you have to come to an understanding as a couple. She doesn’t have to agree with me fully, and I don’t have to agree with her always. If that understanding exists, it doesn’t matter if the marriage is arranged or love. It should give happiness to the family, and to them most importantly.”

    Humare tissues kidhar hain? Yaar ye bohat ziada hai.

    Kaushal also said in the interview that despite having a committed acting career, Kaif is equally involved in household chores and how budget is planned:

    “The most fun experience is when she (Katrina) holds a meeting in the house every week or every other week. She gets the entire staff together and discusses the budget of the house. She takes account of how the money is being spent, the expenses, and it’s a great thing. But when that discussion happens, I enjoy it. I’m an audience and I sit with popcorn.”

  • ‘Used to wish that my name was normal and English like Hannah’: Dua Lipa

    ‘Used to wish that my name was normal and English like Hannah’: Dua Lipa

    Dua Lipa is one of the biggest stars in the music industry today with her iconic looks as well as bops like ‘Levitating’ and the Barbie soundtrack ‘Dance the night’. The BBC reports that the Albanian-English pop star has revealed she wasn’t always so sure she would end up working in the entertainment industry because of her heritage, as well as her name.

    “From a young age, I had the dream to be a pop star but it never seemed like something that was actually possible,” the ‘New Rules’ singer shared. “I’ve been a new girl all my life.”

    “There was always the idea of being from two places at once,” the ‘Barbie’ actress continued. “I understood the duality of my heritage from an early age. People would always ask where my name is from. I was really proud of it, but when I was younger I wished my name was, say, Hannah — something ‘normal’ and English.”

    But these insecurities didn’t hold the superstar back, making her more determined to pursue a career in music, and influencing her decision to move back to London at the age of 15 to give her GCSE’s while her family moved to Kosovo, and shared a flat with the daughter of family friends:

    “I was quite determined,” recalled Dua. “I didn’t feel I had the same opportunities in music as I had in London. I was driven. My dad says I’m very hard to say no to!”

    She revealed how at the age of 17, after finishing her studies she set her mind on making it in the music industry:

    “I was really persistent. I just started writing a lot, worked with a producer. I was 17. I was offered a publishing deal but [producer] Felix told me to go to a lawyer, who said, ‘Don’t sign that deal!’ They then helped me get into the studio.”

    Dua Lipa is set to star in the upcoming Greta Gerwig film ‘Barbie’ which has Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in main roles.

  • After meeting on dating app, woman hired hitman to murder lover’s wife

    Jab pyar kiya to darna kya?

    Melody Sasser from Tennessee has been arrested by police authorities after she had tried to hire a hitman to murder the wife of a man she had met on a dating app.

    People Magazine reported that Sasser met the man on Match.com. After finding out that he had recently gotten engaged, the woman responded with “I hope you both fall off a cliff and die”, according to the alleged target’s complaint to the police.

    She also revealed that Sasser had shown up to their resident unannounced after learning about the couple’s engagement, reporting that she found her vehicle damaged, and began receiving threatening calls that couldn’t be traced.

    Authorities also found out that Sasser was tracing the whereabouts of the victim and her husband through a fitness app on their Garmin watches.

    According to court documents, Sasser plotted the murder of the wife by placing a $10,000 order on the website Online Killers Market on Jan 11, 2023, using the username “cattree”, to have the spouse of the man she met murdered.

    “It needs to seem random or accident[al]. Or plant drugs, do not want a long investigation. She recently moved in with her new husband,” the murder-for-hire request reads.

    Then again in March, she sent a follow-up message, complaining about how long it was taking to hire a hit-man:

    “I have waited for 2 months and 11 days and the job is not completed… does it need to be assigned to someone else? Will it be done? What is the delay?”

    The police were immediately alerted to the murder’s request and traced Sasser’s location, as well as informed the intended target and her husband about the failed murder plot. Sasser is currently being charged with attempted murder.

    Shahid Kapoor wants wives to fix messed up husbands, Twitter tells him to shut up

    What a delight it is to be a woman!

    Shahid Kapoor is bobbing around in hot waters since yesterday when a clip from an interview he gave to ‘Film Companion’ went viral. In the video, the superstar was asked about his definition of marriage to which the ‘Jab We Met’ actor said:

    “I finally have figured this out that this entire marriage thing is just about one thing you know. It’s that the guy was a mess and the woman came in to fix him. So the rest of this life is going to be a journey of being fixed and becoming a decent person. That pretty much is what life is about.”

    Sorry sir, but did you marry a person or a full-time therapist? We’re scratching our heads because we’re confused.

    Social media did not take well to the misogynist comments, as shown by the comment section under this post which was filled with women schooling the actor by calling him a ‘man child’.

    One user wrote: “So women are marrying projects and not partners?”

    TBH we’re thinking the same thing

    Bollywood, which once made movies like DDLJ and ‘Queen has resorted to cringey storylines which promote such misogynist content is abysmal to witness

    On Twitter, users slammed Kapoor for refusing to abandon his ‘man-child’ mentality, by pointing out that even though the actor was 36 years old (!!!) when he married his wife Mira, who was 21 (!!!!!), he doesn’t need fixing.
