Pictures of Anushka Sharma and her daughter Vamika are trending on social media. Some users feel that Vamika looks just like Anushka.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are very active on Instagram, but they have so far kept their children's (Vamika and Akay) faces out of the public eye. They want their children to live a normal life, so they prefer to live in London away from the media spotlight.

Currently, a photo is going viral on social media, in which it is claimed that Virat and Anushka are seen with their daughter Vamika. However, this photo is AI generated and not real.

How to know if this photo is fake? 1. Image quality: The photo has clear signs of artificiality (AI generated), such as unnatural body postures.

2. Vamika's leg: In the photo, one leg of the child is seen passing below Virat's shoulder and the other leg is passing over his neck, which is unlikely.

3. Fingers: Virat's hand on Anushka's waist has 5 fingers, which looks unnatural.

4. AI Watermark: A watermark of "META AI" is visible below the photo, which clearly indicates that this image is created by AI.

Conclusion:
This photo is not real and has been created by AI tools. Virat and Anushka have so far stopped their children's faces from being shown in public, so such viral images should not be trusted.

If they ever share photos of their children, they will be seen only on their official social media accounts.

"Arjun Rampal discusses playing a Hollywood gangster-like character in 'Rana Naidu 2' – 'Don't want to be typecast'"

Arjun Rampal has highlighted the following points in an interview about 'Rana Naidu 2':

1. Roles as a solo hero
Currently, there is a trend of multi-starrer films, but he is interested in solo projects like biopics (like 'Daddy'). Today, there is more emphasis on reality and complex characters than the style of 90s films.

2. Rauf's role in 'Rana Naidu 2'
The character was given a gray shade and unpredictable behavior like Martin Scorsese's gangster characters (like in 'Goodfellas'). To make Season 2 more entertaining than Season 1, the swearing and violence were reduced, so that it could be watched with the family. He was surprised by the challenge of shooting in a single costume and the positive response from the audience.

3. Typecasting and variety of roles Despite grey roles like 'Dhaakad', 'Crack', he is also doing positive roles (like '3 Monkeys', 'Blind Game'). Considers the "element of surprise" as his weapon, where each character is unique and unexpected. 4. Collaboration with Rana Daggubati and Venkatesh
Appreciated his friendship with Rana and his acting ability in complex characters. Venkatesh's comic timing and dialogue delivery were particularly noteworthy. Described the experience of working with directors Karan Anshuman, Suparna Verma, Abhay as "great".

5. Future projects
'Battle of Bhima Koregaon' (Director: Ramesh Thete) is currently stalled, but he wants to see it as a solo comeback. There are many offers from the South industry, but no one has signed yet.

6. Approach to script selection
The content of the film and the audience's interest are the main criteria. "Even if I am not in the film, do I want to watch it?" — This is the question that makes the decision.

7. OTT and creative freedom
He likes the freedom to play characters in web series in a more unpredictable and qualified way.

Conclusion: Arjun Rampal emphasizes on character-based projects and focuses on diversity, staying away from typecasting. From grey shade roles like 'Rana Naidu 2' to positive projects in the future, he considers surprising the audience as the key.

Aditya Narayan questioned Diljit Singh's controversial statement regarding the film "Sardarji 3": "How long will we show generosity?" He said that the issue of not prioritizing national interest is serious.

Aditya Narayan has expressed his views on India-Pakistan relations and patriotism by discussing Diljit Dosanjh and 'Sardarji 3'. He has emphasized on the limits of patriotism and tolerance, the main points of which are as follows:

Main excerpts:
1. Patriotism first:

2. Limits of tolerance:
He said, "How long should we tolerate? What is wrong is wrong." India-Pakistan relations have never been good, but now is "the time to stand up for the country."

3. Opinion on Diljit's decision:
Aditya made it clear that if he were in Diljit's place, he would have "put the country first". Despite the efforts of the film industry to improve relations (sports, music, films), "the applause is from both hands" - that is, efforts are also needed from Pakistan.

4. Indian sensibilities:
The people's minds are "fresh from the atrocities" and in such a situation "love is needed", but at the same time a clear message is given that "tolerance also has its limits."

Conclusion:
Aditya Narayan has expressed the Indian response, prioritizing national unity and sensitivity. His opinion is based on patriotism and a sense of collective responsibility, in which a touch of strict but balanced nationalism is visible.

Clarification: Aditya has emphasized his personal principles ("country first") rather than directly criticizing Diljit's decision.

According to media reports, the dispute between Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal has been resolved.

Some users feel that this could all be a marketing strategy, and the film's teaser could be released during the IPL 2025 final.

2. Speculations on Pankaj Tripathi's role
A photo of Pankaj Tripathi has gone viral, where he is rocking a Baburao-like look (thick glasses, white dhoti, gold chain, etc.). Some fans believe that if Paresh Rawal does not return, Pankaj Tripathi can take over the role and breathe new life into it.

Johnny Lever's reaction to the "Hera Pheri 3" controversy: "The film is incomplete without Paresh Rawal, the audience will not enjoy it!"

Comedian Johnny Lever has given his reaction to the incident of Paresh Rawal quitting the film 'Hera Pheri 3'. Johnny has said that Paresh Rawal should do this film, because without him the film will not be fun.

Johnny Lever's argument: - "'Hera Pheri' is incomplete without Paresh Rawal."
- Fans want to see the trio of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal together.
- If Paresh is not in the film, people will miss him and will not get the full enjoyment of the film.
- All the actors and the team should talk to each other and resolve their differences.

Background to the legal dispute:
1. Akshay Kumar's notice: After Paresh left the film, Akshay sent a legal notice, in response to which Paresh's lawyers said:
- Paresh was not given the script, contract or draft of the film.
- The producer of the original film, Firoz Nadiadwala, also sent a notice to Paresh, due to which he left the project.
- Paresh returned the 11 lakh rupees with interest and cancelled the term sheet (initial agreement).

2. Akshay's team's claim:
- Paresh's action caused damage to the film's shooting, team and expenses.

3. Paresh's lawyers' response:
- First the money was given, then the notice was sent, when the story or name of the film was not even decided.
- Therefore, the claim of "damage" is not valid.


Conclusion: Like Johnny Lever, fans want Paresh, Akshay and Sunil to work together again, but this possibility is unclear until the legal tussle is resolved. This dispute between the film's team and Paresh raises a question mark over the future of 'Hera Pheri 3'.

"Hera Pheri 3 controversy: Akshay Kumar's lawyer warns - deadline for Paresh Rawal to respond in 7 days"

Paresh Rawal's sudden exit from Hera Pheri 3 has created a stir in the industry. Akshay Kumar's production house 'Cap of Good Films' has sent a legal notice of Rs 25 crore to Rawal, seeking compensation for the losses incurred due to his withdrawal from the film.

Key points of the situation:
1. Production's claim:
Paresh Rawal had publicly confirmed his association with the film in January 2024. A contract was signed for the trailer shoot and 3.5 minutes of shooting had also been completed. The production house had already paid Rs 11 lakh as advati.

2. Legal consequences:
Pooja Tikka (the production's lawyer) states that serious legal action can be taken in case of breach of contract. This has affected the interests of the film franchise, the audience and other artists.

3. Current Status:
Rawal has not yet responded to the notice, but he has been given a 7-day deadline. Both the shooting schedule and the budget have been affected.

Background: The Hera Pheri series is a successful comedy franchise in Hindi cinema. This third film stars Akshay Kumar, Sunny Deol and Pauluti Dutta in lead roles. The absence of Rawal's character may affect the story and marketing of the film.

The case highlights the legal complexities of contracts between artists and production houses in the film industry. Negotiations are currently underway between the two parties, but if a settlement is not reached, the possibility of a court case may increase.

Akshay Kumar's film team has leveled serious allegations against actor Paresh Rawal. The team's representative has revealed that Rawal has deliberately caused losses by not completing the work even after charging a fee of Rs 11 lakh for the project.

"Hera Pheri 3" controversy: ₹25 crore legal suit against Paresh Rawal
The controversy has heated up over the third part of Bollywood's popular franchise "Hera Pheri". Famous actor Paresh Rawal was supposed to star in the role of the film's villain "Babu Bhaiya", but he has suddenly left the project. As a result, the film's producer Akshay Kumar's production company "Cap of Good Films" has sent a legal notice to Rawal claiming damages of ₹25 crore.

Main allegations:
1. Breach of contract: Rawal signed the term sheet (informal agreement) on March 27, 2025 and took an advance fee of ₹11 lakh. 2. Participation in shooting: He shot the teaser of the film on April 3, 2025 and also participated in creative discussions with Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty. 3. Sudden exit from the project: Rawal quits the film citing "creative issues", while the producers claim that this is an excuse.

Reasons for the ₹25 crore claim:
The expenditure on the film's teaser, promotion and shooting has gone to waste. Rawal's sudden retirement has disrupted the film's schedule. The film's image and reputation have been damaged.

Paresh Rawal's side:
Rawal had announced on Twitter (X) that he is no longer associated with the film. He did not give a clear reason, but sources say that he was unhappy with the script or the creative direction.

What next?
The producers will fight for a compensation of ₹25 crore in court. It is uncertain who will play Babu Bhaiya in the film.

Will the "Hera Pheri 3" team reunite or will a new cast be cast? Stay tuned to find out!

The legal dispute between Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal in the Hera Pheri 3 case has been a hot topic of discussion in Bollywood. Here is a summary of the main issues:
1. Paresh Rawal's decision to leave the project
After the news of Paresh Rawal opting out of the film, Akshay Kumar's production company Cap of Good Films has sent him a legal notice claiming damages of ₹25 crore. It is alleged that Rawal suddenly left work during the shooting, which had a negative impact on the schedule and budget of the film.
2. Akshay's legal suit
Akshay is associated as the lead actor and producer of the film. He has bought the legal rights of the Hera Pheri franchise from Feroz Nadiadwala. The suit states that Rawal has violated professional ethics. If he didn't want to do the film, he should have said no before the shooting started.
3. Paresh Rawal's response
Rawal has not yet responded directly, but reports suggest he was offered 3 times the normal fee (₹56 crore). Some sources see the lawsuit as a warning against "unprofessional behavior" in Bollywood, which demands a strict contract system like Hollywood.
4. Impact on the film
The case could stall the film's production and affect the release date. Fans of the franchise are upset about the fight, as the Hera Pheri series is a popular comedy franchise in Bollywood.
Conclusion:
The case will spark a debate on actor-producer contracts and professionalism in the industry. If Akshay takes legal action, it could set a precedent in Bollywood.
Update: Paresh Rawal has now publicly stated that he had to leave the film due to "script changes" and "other differences". However, these claims have been denied by Cape of Good Films.
So, this matter is still hot and depends on further developments.

After the Pahalgam terror attack, the anger of the Indian people towards Pakistani artists has increased. Questions have been raised about the Indian release of Fawad Khan's upcoming film Abir Gulal. People are demanding a boycott of the film on social media. Critics say

The opposition to Fawad Khan's film 'Abir Gulal' is increasing after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The film is scheduled to release on May 9, but after the attack, Indian viewers are demanding a boycott of the film on social media. People claim that it is not right to promote films of Pakistani artists in India, especially when Pakistani terrorists are spreading violence in India.

Fawad Khan's film 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' also created controversy after the Uri attack in 2016 and an effective ban was imposed on Pakistani artists in India. Now, groups like MNS (Maharashtra Navnirman Sena) have also protested against 'Abir Gulal' and have warned to stop the film from being released in Maharashtra. However, some Bollywood celebrities, such as Sushmita Sen, Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, have supported Fawad Khan.

Thus, political and social controversies have arisen even before the film's release, and the sentiments of a section of the Indian audience have become negative towards the film. It remains to be seen whether this social and political pressure will have any impact on the film's release.

Controversy after Urvashi's claim that 'I have a temple': Team clarifies after being trolled, 'The actress said that there is a temple in her name, not that it is her temple'

Full analysis on Urvashi Rautela's temple controversy:
Background: Actress Urvashi Rautela had said in an interview to Divya Bhaskar that "she has a temple near Badrinath in Uttarakhand" and "she is worshipped in the temple". This statement sparked a strong reaction on social media and religious circles, after which her team gave a clarification.

Urvashi's team's side: 1. Name misunderstanding: The team said that Urvashi had said "My name temple" (Urvashi Namdhari temple), not "My temple" (dedicated to her). 2. Delhi University example: The team said that she was honoured as "Damdami Mai" in the university, which has media coverage. 3. Legal warning: The team warned of legal action against those spreading misleading news and requested a fact-check.

Issues of controversy: 1. Contradiction in interview: Urvashi told Divya Bhaskar, "I have a temple", while in another interview (with Siddharth Kanan) she expressed her desire to "have a temple in the South too". 2. Anger of Badrinath priests: Bhuvan Nautiyal (former priest) said that "Maa Urvashi Temple" is associated with Shiva and it is inappropriate to associate anyone with it. Amit Sati (Brahma Kapal Tirtha Purohit Samaj) demanded an apology for considering this statement as an insult to Hindu sentiments.

Facts: Location of temple: "Maa Urvashi Temple" is located in Bamni village of Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, which is 1 km. away from Badrinath. Religious significance: This temple hosts religious events during Navratri and is believed to be associated with Lord Shiva.

Conclusion: Urvashi's statement may have been misinterpreted or exaggerated by the media. The reaction of religious leaders shows that public figures should be careful on issues related to religious sensitivities. Despite the team's clarification, the need for direct and clear wording is underlined to avoid controversy.
✍️ Tip: This incident highlights the impact of rumors on social media and the adverse effect of criticism without context.

'Tiger Zinda Hai Aur Maai Rehga': Akshay Kumar slams those who trolled Salman Khan for 'Sikander', actor busy promoting 'Kesari 2'

Akshay Kumar has shown his friendship and respect for each other in the industry by supporting Salman Khan against trolls. Akshay made it clear that Salman is a "tiger" who will never lose his popularity, and dismissed the criticisms regarding the box office performance of "Sikander". Fans praised Akshay's behavior on social media and encouraged the two actors to work together again (after films like "Mujse Shaadi Karogi" and "Jaan-e-Mann").

Despite this, the film was being compared to Salman's career standard. Akshay's stand is an example of cooperation and empathy in Bollywood, where relationships are more important than discussing success or failure.

'Raj Thackeray cannot commit hooliganism in the name of language': 'Bigg Boss 18' contestant Gunaratna challenged the MNS leader; said - we will not tolerate beatings anymore

Gunaratna Sadavarta slams MNS leader Raj Thackeray for linguistic pressure and violence
Popular Bigg Boss 18 contestant and advocate Gunaratna Sadavarta has strongly criticized Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Raj Thackeray and his workers for the incidents of coercion and violence against the Marathi language. Gunaratna said, "Language is the pride of culture, but Raj Thackeray's way of intimidating and harassing people over it is illegal and unacceptable."

Gunaratna's main allegations: 1. Linguistic pressure in banks and companies: He condemned the incidents of MNS workers slapping, humiliating and forcing apologies from bank employees, female workers of mobile companies and security guards for not speaking Marathi. Gunaratne said, "This is not a liquor factory where hooliganism runs rampant. Language should be taught with love, not fear."

2. Misuse of RBI rules: Raj Thackeray had threatened banks to make Marathi mandatory, while the RBI rules only give the option of three languages ​​(English, Hindi and local language). Gunaratne called this "linguistic fascism" and said, "Maharashtra is a multilingual state, everyone here has the right to speak their own language."

3. Demand for legal action: MNS has filed a complaint with the police against the workers and has demanded strict action against Raj Thackeray's "hooliganism."

Background: MNS's Marathi demand and controversy Raj Thackeray and the MNS have been running a "Marathi Mandatory" issue-based movement in Maharashtra for a long time. He has threatened banks, educational institutions and offices that if they do not use Marathi, there will be violent protests. As per RBI rules, banks are required to give the option of the local language, but the MNS wants to make it mandatory as "Marathi or nothing".

Gunaratna Sadavarta: From Bigg Boss to Social Justice Gunaratna grabbed the attention of the people with her straightforward and humorous image in Bigg Boss 18. After leaving the show, she has been raising her voice against social injustice, linguistic oppression and hooliganism.

Conclusion: Language or violence? This clash is not just a question of Marathi rights, but of linguistic tolerance and democratic values. Such frank communication by Gunaratna has challenged the politics of MNS, and now the issue may escalate into a legal or political battle.

TV director recreates scene in real life!: Drunk Siddhant Das rams car into people, one dead and 6 injured; mob thrashes him like in 'Rakshit Kand'

The incident of TV director Siddhant Das (Victor) driving a car in a drunken state in Kolkata, which crushed 7 people, is truly shocking and sad. This incident is similar to the 'Rakshit Kand' in Vadodara, where a drunk driver crushed 8 people on March 13, 2025, and Hemaliben Patel died.

Key details of the Kolkata incident: 1. Accused: Bengali TV director Siddhant Das (alias Victor) and the channel's executive producer Shriya Basu. Both drove the car in a drunken state after midnight.
2. Scene of the incident: On Diamond Harbour Road near Thakurpur Bazaar in Kolkata.
3. Victims: - Deceased: Aminur Rahman (CPIM leader and sweeper). - Injured: 6 people (2 in CMRI Hospital, 4 in Kasturi Nursing Home).
4. Mob anger: People beat the accused on the spot, but the police rescued them and arrested them.

Strict laws on drunk driving are needed: Such incidents consistently show how deadly drunk driving is. It is necessary to tighten the DUI (Driving Under Influence) laws in India and strictly enforce them.

Responsibility of society: - Friends and family should intervene to stop drug abusers. - Improvement in urban management is necessary to ensure the safety of people in public places.

Such incidents take the lives of innocent people and cause lifelong pain to the victim's families. Let's hope that the judicial process is speedy and transparent.

Note: The similarity between the Vadodara incident and the Kolkata incident is worrying, which highlights the growing dangers of drunk driving and reckless driving in society.

Flop story dimmed Salman's stardom: This is a sign that films will no longer run on star power alone; Lack of innovation hit the audience the most

Salman Khan's latest film 'Sikander' (2025) has proven to be a significant failure at the box office. The film, released on the festival of Eid (March 30), received a negative response from the audience and critics, due to which it was removed from many theaters on the third day of its release.

Main reasons: 1. Repetitive plot: The story of 'Sikander' is based on the formula of a lone hero's revenge, which Salman has already shown in films like 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' (2023), 'Radhe' (2021), and 'Antim' (2021). The audience was disappointed by the lack of innovation, while films with similar themes ('The Diplomat', 'L2: Empuran') were preferred more.

2. Director's Failure: This film by AR Murugadoss ('Ghajini', 'Spyder') could not sustain his track record.

3. Casting and Age Gap: The 31-year age gap between Salman (59 years) and Rashmika Mandanna (28 years) seemed unnatural to the audience. The same problem was also in 'Kisi Ka Bhai...' (25 years age gap with Pooja Hegde) and 'Radhe' (27 years age gap with Disha Patani).

4. Weak earnings: The film with a budget of 200 crores earned only 105 crores in 3 days, while films like 'Tiger 3' (2023) did a business of 466 crores.

5. Critics' reaction: The film received only 2 stars out of 5, and Salman's "lack of inspiring acting" became the focus of criticism.

Salman's last film records: | Film | Budget (crores) | Earnings (crores) | |||| | Sikander (2025) | 200 | 105 (3 days)| | Kissi Ka Bhai... | 125 | 182 | | Tiger 3 (2023) | 300 | 466 | | Radhe (2021) | 90 | 18.33 | | Aktiya (2021) | 40 | 59.11 |

Conclusion: Salman Khan's star power can no longer work without just a script and innovation. The pairing of young heroines in films and the same stories seem to bore the audience. If they do not diversify their film choices, the future of their films may become uncertain.

The film's story is based on the struggle of a young man, who fights for the rights of the common man against corruption and injustice.

2. KRK's controversial comments: KRK wrote on Twitter, "Muslim fans, if you watch 'Sikander' on Eid, then give Salman Eid Mubarak!" and called the clock a "Zionist" technique. Earlier, KRK had made such comments on Salman during the film 'Radhe', for which a defamation case was filed.

'We will live as long as we have written...': Salman Khan breaks silence on Lawrence gang threats, says - Walking with security is a problem

The animosity between Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi dates back to the 1998 blackbuck (kaliyar) poaching case. When Salman hunted a blackbuck during the shooting of the film 'Hum Saath Saath Hai' in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, the Bishnoi community, which is known for protecting animals and the environment, was very upset. The protest lasted for a long time as Salman never apologized to the community.

Threats and security measures:
1. First threat in 2018: During his appearance in the Jodhpur court, Lawrence Bishnoi publicly threatened to kill Salman, which spread fear in the industry.
2. Shooting incident in 2024: On 14 April 2024, two bikers opened fire at Salman's Mumbai-based home Galaxy Apartment. The involvement of Lawrence gang in this incident came to light, and Salman's security was increased to Y+ category.
3. Reaction to Baba Siddiqui's murder: Salman's security was tightened again after the murder of Salman's close friend and NCP leader Baba Siddiqui by Lawrence gang. This incident made the threat more serious.

Salman's response: - Breaking the silence: During the promotion of the film 'Sikandar' in March 2025, Salman opened up to the media about the threats. He said, "We will live as long as we have written in life. We have faith in God". - Security implications: Salman said that it is difficult to move around with a heavy security team, and his daily routine is limited to house-shooting.

Lawrence Bishnoi's strategy: - Operation from jail: Lawrence, who lives in Sabarmati Jail, operates the gang through mobile apps (such as Telegram). He has a network of over 700 shooters active, capable of carrying out attacks in cities like Mumbai. - Media propaganda: Lawrence has admitted that the reason behind threatening Salman was media attention and a desire to gain dominance in the community.

Future concerns and projects: - Film 'Sikander' and security: Salman completed the shooting of the film amidst heavy security, which will release on 30 March 2025. - Reunion with Sanjay Dutt: Salman announced that he will work with Sanjay Dutt in a big action film, the details of which will be announced soon by the team.

Conclusion: Lawrence Bishnoi's threats have been affecting Salman's career and personal life for a long time. While Salman is more alert and secure today, Lawrence's active network from prison is becoming a matter of concern.

Natasha Stankovic recently told The Times of India in an interview that she is ready to love again and wants to embrace new experiences and opportunities in life. "When the time is right, the connection with the right person will happen naturally," she said. She values ​​trust and right thinking in relationships.

After marrying Hardik Pandya in 2020 and divorcing him in 2024, Natasha is focusing on her career. She plans to make a comeback in Bollywood after a gap of 5 years. She admits that the journey is not easy, but it is possible with hard work.

Ekta Kapoor took a dig at Anurag Kashyap: Said – Is calling Indian content bad ego or anger?, The producer also expressed his displeasure towards the audience

Background: Filmmaker Ekta Kapoor has commented on the quality of Indian content and its success or failure. She has been scathing about directors Anurag Kashyap and Hansal Mehta, and has blamed the audience for the failure of films like 'Superboy of Malegaon' and 'The Buckingham Murder'. Ekta's main idea is that creators should fight the system and invest in their own resources, as corporate studios only care about numbers (financial gains).

Key points: 1. Blaming debate: Ekta believes that Indian creators make excuses for not being able to compete with international content, when the real problem may lie in the taste of the audience or the responsibility of the creators. Her argument: If good films (like Hansal Mehta's films) fail in theatres, the blame lies with the audience, who do not support them.

2. Role of Platform: Anurag Kashyap questions Netflix's content selection process: British series like "Adolescence" were rejected in India. Hence, it seems that OTT platforms have unequal standards for Indian content.

3. Art vs. Business: For Ekta, filmmaking is art, while corporate studios only aim for profit. She calls on creators to invest independently and fight the system.

Contradiction and debate: Audience interest vs. creator's freedom: Ekta holds viewers accountable, but the success of series like "Adolescence" on OTT suggests that viewers value quality content. Hence, the question arises: Do audience expectations differ for theatres and OTT platforms? Platform policies: Platforms like Netflix offer little opportunity to Indian content, which prevents creators from competing with international standards. Self-investment potential: The idea of ​​unity encourages independent investment, but this is financially risky for small creators.

Conclusion: This discussion highlights the tension between creativity, commercial pressures and platform policies in the Indian entertainment industry. While unity motivates creators to take bold steps, Anurag and Hansal highlight systematic obstacles (such as biased policies of OTT platforms). A potential solution to the problem lies in dialogue and collaboration between creators, platforms and viewers, which balances quality and commercial success.

6-month affair, 18-month marriage, Rs. 4.75 crore settlement: Chahal-Dhanashree's 6-month cooling period reduced, divorce finally announced today, now the cricketer will be able to play IPL in peace

Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma divorce: Court waives 6-month cooling-off period and gives verdict

Mumbai, March 20, 2024: The divorce case between Indian cricket team leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma is taking its final shape today. On the directions of the Bombay High Court, the Mumbai Family Court on Wednesday granted the couple permission to divorce. The court gave the verdict quickly by waiving the 6-month cooling-off period (peaceful period), stating that the two had been living separately for 2.5 years and had agreed to a settlement of Rs 4.75 crore.

Court procedure and cooling period waiver Yuzvendra Chahal had filed a petition in the family court stating that he had paid half of the settlement amount (Rs 2.375 crore) to Dhanashree. On this basis, the High Court decided to waive the cooling period. According to Indian law, after filing a divorce petition, the couple is given a chance to live together for 6 months so that they can reconsider their decision. Justice Madhav Jamdar told the court, "Both parties have been living separately for the last two and a half years and have reached a settlement. Hence, it is appropriate to waive this period."

Journey from marriage to divorce Yuzvendra and Dhanashree got married on December 22, 2020. During the Covid-19 lockdown, Chahal approached Dhanashree, who is a choreographer, to learn dance. During this time, the two fell in love and got married quickly. In 2023, Dhanashree removed the nickname "Chahal" from her Instagram and Yuzvendra shared a story announcing a "new life", after which the divorce rumors intensified.

Advertisement on social media and popular shows Dhanashree had made her love story public on the TV dance show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa11. She said, "During the lockdown, Yuzvendra called me to teach dance. I was impressed by his emotion and hard work and our love story began." However, changes on social media in 2023 raised eyebrows in the relationship.

Kailash Kher gets relief from Bombay High Court: A petition was filed against the song 'Babam Bama...', which was accused of hurting religious sentiments.

The Bombay High Court has dismissed the charges of hurting religious sentiments against singer Kailash Kher. The main points of reasoning in this decision are as follows:

1. Lack of intention and malice: The court observed that Kher had only sung the song "Bam Bam", composed in praise of Lord Shiva. There was no intention to hurt religious sentiments intentionally or maliciously in his act. This intention is essential to prove the charge under Section 295A of the IPC.

2. Validity of censor certificate: The video was cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification, which shows that the content meets the standards of society. The court gave its decision considering this aspect.

3. Artistic expression and tolerance: The judges said that even if an artwork is unpleasant to some, it is natural. Dissent and diversity should be given a place in society instead of intolerance. Citing the views of writer A.G. Noorani, the court suggested that an overreaction to conservatism is harmful to society.

4. Vagueness of the complaint: The complainant's allegations focused on scenes like "slimming" and "kissing" in the video, but the court held that these scenes were consistent with the spiritual context of the song and obscenity could not be proven.

5. Principle of a free society: The court emphasised that freedom of individual expression and tolerance are important in a democracy. Turning every dissent into a crime hinders social progress.

Judgment: The case against Kailash Kher was dismissed due to lack of judicial evidence and intent. The decision strikes a balance between artistic freedom and religious sensitivities in India.

'Dekh Reh Ho Binod' fame actor is not getting work: Durgesh Kumar said – I am not getting the credit I deserve, I have to run after the casting director

Title: "12 Years Later, Struggle: An Actor's Story in Durgesh Kumar's Voice"
"Dekh Reh Ho Binod" — Durgesh Kumar, who went viral with this dialogue, is still waiting for an audition from a big production house. Despite projects like popular web series 'Panchayat' and 'Lapta Ladies', he has not got full recognition in the film industry. In an interview given to Times of India, he says, "Even after 12 years of journey, my struggle continues. It has been more than a year since I left a big production house, there has been no audition call. I have been able to work only with small producers, who recognize my talent."

Journey from theatre to films Before entering films, Durgesh Kumar was active in the world of theatre. A graduate of the National School of Drama (NSD), this actor has acted in more than 35 plays. "Theatre taught me to connect with people's emotions. But after coming to films, I felt like I had to run after casting directors," he says.

Success and awards, but lack of 'credit' After getting a breakthrough in 2014 with Imtiaz Ali's 'Highway', Durgesh appeared in blockbuster films like 'Sultan', 'Sanju', 'Dhadak', and 'Bhakshak'. Starting with a supporting role in 'Panchayat', he was in the lead role in Season 3. However, he says, "I didn't get big offers. My projects win awards, but critics don't mention my name. Even after 25 years, I am fighting for credit."

Memes and fans: But industry ignores His dialogue "Dekh reh ho Binod" in the role of Bhudev Bhai in 'Panchayat' went viral in memes and reels. "I am happy with the love of the people, but it is difficult to get out of the label of 'character actor' in the industry," laments Durgesh.

The way forward: Small projects and optimism "I am happy to work with small producers. They believe in my abilities," he says. His performance in films like 'Lapta Ladies' has been appreciated, but he believes that "faces and connections are more important in Bollywood."

Summary: Struggle and stagnation Ignored by big production houses despite 12 years of experience. A career based on NSD and theatre hire. Lack of recognition from critics and industry insiders. Popularity gained through audience and meme culture.
"I believe in my work. One day the industry will understand," — these words of Durgesh Kumar show his fighting spirit and devotion to art.

But, as soon as the line "Bam Bam Bhole Shambhu..." comes, the song goes into high-energy mode and gets people dancing.

Marketing Strategy: The track of just 1 minute and 50 seconds makes fans "crave to see more", which creates hype before the release of Sikander.

Conclusion: "Bum Bum Bhole" has taken the Holi celebrations to blockbuster levels with Salman Khan's screen presence, Rashmika's grace and musical fusion. Although the opening lyrics are a bit lacking, Salman's magic and Rashmika's charm make the song the top Holi anthem of 2024.

Javed Akhtar came in support of cricketer Mohammed Shami: The cricketer was trolled for not fasting during Ramzan, the writer said – don't pay attention to what these fanatic fools say

Dubai Champions Trophy controversy: Trolling on Mohammed Shami and Javed Akhtar's strong response
A photo of Indian bowler Mohammed Shami drinking an energy drink went viral during the ongoing Champions Trophy semi-final match (India vs Australia) in Dubai. This photo created a debate and controversy on social media, as Shami was trolled for not fasting (Roja) during the holy month of Ramadan. However, writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar gave a strong response to these trollers' criticisms and stood in support of the Indian team.

Trolling on Shami: Why and how? Background: After a photo of Shami drinking an energy drink during a match played in the scorching heat (40°C+) of Dubai came out, some people questioned his religious beliefs. Ramadan rules: As per Islamic tradition, fasting is obligatory for healthy individuals during Ramadan, but exemptions are given to those like travellers, patients and athletes. Cricketers like Shami are allowed to take water and nutrition during matches. Troller criticism: Shami was targeted with allegations that "fasting should not be broken during Ramadan". However, critics ignored the subtleties of religious rules and only created a debate.

Javed Akhtar's support: "Shami Sahib, don't worry!" Responding to trolls on social media, Javed Akhtar wrote: > "Shami Sahib, don't worry about these reactionary fanatic fools who have a problem with you drinking water on a cricket field in the scorching heat of Dubai. They have nothing to do with this. You are a great Indian team, of which we are proud." Akhtar praised the fighting spirit of Team India and the performance of Shami, who took important wickets in the match.

Virat Kohli vs Rohit Sharma: New attack from trolls After India won the semi-final, Akhtar praised Virat Kohli and wrote: > "Virat Kohli has once again proven that he is the strongest pillar of Indian cricket." Since the post did not mention Rohit Sharma, trolls accused Akhtar of "body shaming" and "bias". One troll asked: "If Kohli is the strongest, is Rohit the 'heaviest'?" Akhtar retorted sharply: "Shut up cockroach! I have a lot of respect for Rohit Sharma and Indian cricketers in Test history."

Previous controversy over victory over Pakistan Earlier, Akhtar had tweeted after the India-Pakistan match: "Virat Kohli Zindabad! We are all very proud of you." A troll retorted: "Javed, is Babar (Pakistan captain)'s father Kohli? Say it, Jai Shri Ram!" Challenging this, Akhtar wrote: "All I will say is: You are a vile person and will die a vile person. What do you know about patriotism?"

Social Perspective: Cricket, Culture and Online Toxicity 1. Pressure on Cricketers: Players like Shami, Kohli and Rohit have to deal with not only matches but also socio-religious expectations. 2. Psychological impact of trolling: Constant criticism and personal attacks have a serious impact on the mental health of players. 3. Javed Akhtar's role: By directly responding to trolls on social media, he sets a model for public figures that resistance is more effective than "remaining silent".

Conclusion These incidents show that cricket is no longer just a game, it has become a symbol of national identity, religious sensitivities and the toxicity of social media. The strong voice of individuals like Javed Akhtar sends the message: "Fight injustice, don't be silent!" For the players of the Indian team and their supporters, our only duty is to be inspired by the performance, not distracted by the trolls.

'I said yes as soon as I heard the name 'The Diplomat': John Abraham said- I am a big fan of S Jaishankar, there are many similarities between JP Singh and me

Article: 'The Diplomat': A journey from true events to cinema How did the team of John Abraham and Shivam Nair create a film full of diplomatic incidents?

Introduction "The Diplomat" is not just a film, it is a cinematic experience of a true event. The soul of this film is the struggle of Indian diplomat Jitendra Pal Singh to save Uzma Ahmed, a girl trapped in Pakistan. We (director Shivam Nair and team) have done justice to the truth to bring this story to light, making a film in which the fragility of diplomacy and human struggle have been executed with ease.

The foundation of the true event The film begins with the story of Uzma Ahmed. This girl from Delhi connects with Pakistani Tahir through the internet and gets trapped in a journey from Malaysia to Pakistan. Trapped by Tahir, Uzma reaches the Indian embassy as a last hope, where Jitendra Pal Singh (John Abraham) starts a diplomatic fight to save her. We conducted several interviews with JP Singh to bring this story to the screen, studying his personality and working style. We decided not to add a single word from the script to connect every dialogue and scene with a touch of truth.

John Abraham: Preparing to become a diplomat When John Abraham was given the script for this film, he was excited to work on a film based on a true story. John said, "I read the script in one sitting and immediately called Shivam. It became a duty for me to work on this film."

Physical and mental transformation: John underwent a three-week workshop to capture JP Singh's gait, body language, and stance. He worked with actor Saurabh Sachdeva to polish his scenes with Saadia Khatib (Uzma). Chess-like thinking: John said, "Like a diplomat, I understood every script as a chess move. If one move failed, the next one was ready."

Shivam Nair's directorial rigor Director Shivam Nair took several steps to keep the film grounded in reality: 1. Realism of sets: The set of the Indian embassy in Pakistan was recreated based on photos and videos. Shivam said, "We have never seen Islamabad, but our team preserved every detail of it." 2. Accuracy of casting: Saadia Khatib was chosen for the character of Uzma, who showed a sensitivity that was transferred to the film. 3. Accuracy of dialogues: Writer Ritesh Shah preserved the delicacy of diplomatic language. Shivam says, "Even one extra dialogue could have reduced the seriousness of the film."

Challenges and unique moments Moustache accident: One day, John cut off half of his moustache during filming! Shivam laughs, "We solved the problem by coloring the other side. Such moments make the film memorable." First scene with Saadia: John says, "In the first scene, Shivam constantly reminded me of JP Singh. That was the most difficult scene of my career."

Film synopsis and hopes "The Diplomat" is not just a film, it is a saga of the secret struggle of Indian diplomats. The team of John Abraham and Shivam Nair has woven together true events, diplomatic tactics and human emotions to create a thrilling experience for the audience. We hope that this film, releasing on March 14, will surprise the audience and instill a sense of national pride.

Title: "Know the details behind my decision to cast Allu Arjun instead of Salman Khan": Director Atlee Kumar reveals

Main story: "My upcoming film's team and I had been dreaming of delighting the audience with a combination of South and Bollywood for a long time.

Pan-India appeal: Allu Arjun's wide popularity after Pushpa and his reach in both the South Hindi market led to his selection. Working with Rajinikanth: "I will still see Rajini sir in the film, but a change in the hero pairing was necessary," says Atlee.

Key details of the film: Budget and production: Being made by Sun Pictures on a grand budget of Rs 600 crore. Theme: This action drama based on "rebirth" will have 3 female leads. Discussions with Janhvi Kapoor are underway, but an official announcement is yet to be made. Shooting: Will start by the end of 2024. Currently, pre-production work is in full swing.

Salman Khan's answer: 'Sikander' Salman accepted the decision by citing the "dynamics of the film industry". His next film 'Sikandar', directed by renowned South director A.R. Murugadoss, will release on Eid 2025. The cast includes actors like Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sathyaraj.

Analysis: Atlee's move: In the era of pan-India projects with a mix of South and Bollywood stars, this decision is considered smart. Salman's strategy: He wants to reestablish his identity with multi-starrer films like Sikandar. Risks and opportunities: The hefty budget of 600 crores forces the film to succeed on the opening itself. However, the pairing of Allu Arjun's style with Atlee's storytelling can work wonders.

Note: There is no official confirmation of this film from Sun Pictures or Atlee Kumar yet. All the information is based on media reports.

Will Preity Zinta file defamation case against Rahul Gandhi?: On user's question, actress said - I have no objection against anyone; Kerala Congress had leveled false allegations

Kerala Congress's allegations against Preity Zinta: Loan waiver claim and actress's response February 19, 2024

Background: Last week, the Kerala Congress had leveled serious allegations against Bollywood actress Preity Zinta. The party claimed on Twitter that Preity had handed over control of her social media accounts to the BJP and in return got a loan of Rs 18 crore waived off from the New India Cooperative Bank. This allegation came at a time when people were outraged by the bank's looting of customers' funds.

Preity Zinta's direct response: In response to the allegations, Preity clarified on Twitter:

"I have complete control over my social media accounts. There was no such deal with the BJP or any political party."

"The loan I took 10 years ago has been fully repaid. No loan has been waived. Those spreading this fake news should be ashamed."

"Social media platforms should take strict action to stop clickbait news being spread on Facebook and Twitter using my name and photo."

Kerala Congress's post and political context: On February 17, the Kerala Congress shared a screenshot on Twitter and wrote: "BJP took over Preeti's social media accounts, and in return got her loan of Rs 18 crore waived!" The post linked to the mismanagement and loan waiver case of New India Cooperative Bank. The bank had failed to refund its customers their deposits last month, sparking public anger.

Bank problems and Preity's connection: New India Cooperative Bank has been accused of giving illegal loans and taking bribes. Some media reports claimed that the bank waived off the loans of some "chosen people" including Preity Zinta under pressure from the BJP government. However, Preity termed the claim as baseless, saying, "My loans have nothing to do with politics. All these allegations are false and malicious."

Reaction to Rahul Gandhi: A user asked Preity's post, "Will you file a defamation case against Rahul Gandhi?" In response, Preity wrote, "I have no personal problem with Rahul Gandhi. It is better to resolve the issue through direct dialogue than dragging him into such allegations. It would be better if both he and I quietly stay away from such discussions."

Concern over fake news spreading on social media: Preity Zinta commented on the incident and said, "Celebrity names can be misused easily on social media. Spreading such false news confuses the general public and damages a person's reputation." She appealed to the media and users to check fake news before sharing it.

Conclusion: Preity Zinta has strongly denied these allegations and thanked the public for her clarity. This case highlights two important points:

Celebrities' image can be misused by political parties.

The need to share reliable information on social media has increased.

Preity's calm and logical response has strengthened her professional image and helped the public understand the truth.

Amitabh Bachchan opens up about his unfinished post: Said in KBC – I wanted to write about going for shooting, it remained unfinished in my sleep

Amitabh Bachchan's "farewell" post caused a stir, then clarified on KBC: "

It was typed by mistake, the intention was to go to work!"

Great actor Amitabh Bachchan created a storm of anxiety and rumors among fans with a vague post on his social media. On February 7 at 8 pm, he wrote on Twitter (X), "Now it's time to say goodbye." As this post did not mention any context, film or project, fans became worried and speculations like "Is Big B going to retire?" became widespread.

Fans' concern and outcry on social media As soon as the post was posted, fans expressed their concern in the comments. One user wrote, "Don't say this sir... We can't live without you!" While another asked, "This is the first time in a career of so many years that you are writing like this... Is everyone okay?" Some even mistook this post for a retirement announcement and started posting tributes with trending hashtags (#ThankYouBigB).

Clarification on KBC: "Written 'Vidaay' by mistake!" To calm all this commotion, Big B gave a clarification by jokingly making a clarification in the February 8 episode of **"Kaun Banega Crorepati 16"**. He explained to the studio audience, "Hey brother, in that tweet I didn't mean 'Vidaay', I meant 'Time to go to work'! It was almost 2 am when I reached home after finishing the shoot at night. I was tired, Anjali (wife) had fallen asleep, and while typing on the phone, I wrote 'Vidaay' instead of 'work'!" The audience laughed at this explanation and Big B also apologized for his mistake with a laugh.

In another post, he asked: "Should I go or should I stay?" Even after the clarification, Big B shared another post on the night of February 8, in which he wrote: "Should I go or should I stay?" By this time, fans understood that this question was in the context of the shooting of KBC. A fan jokingly commented, "Sir, you make such nonsense tweets, we will give you a heart attack!"

Fans' reaction: "Big B's typing is green again!" This mistake of Big B and the discussion on it caused a flood of memes and trending topics on social media. Users shared old photos and funny captions with the hashtags #BigBTypingGalti and #RetirementScare. Some wrote, "Even at the age of 80, Big B's typing rivals the youth... only in mistakes!"

Conclusion: Big B-Fans Relationship Between Laughter and Love The whole incident once again proved how strong the bond between Amitabh Bachchan and his fans is. The fans' anxiety and the subsequent relief, however, had a humorous element in both. Big B also took the occasion lightly and reminded the fans: "Earlier I forgot 'lines' in films, now I forget 'words' in tweets... But I never forget your love!"

Good: The rumors and worries spread by a mistake on social media were calmed down by Big B's humorous clarification. Fans also got a memorable lesson: "Always read Big B's tweets carefully!"

John Abraham says Bollywood is no longer as secular as it used to be, praises 'Chhawa' and 'Kashmir Files'

John Abraham's new film 'The Diplomat' releases and sharp comments on Bollywood: Bollywood actor John Abraham's upcoming film 'The Diplomat' will be released in theaters on March 7. In this film, John will be playing the role of a diplomat, which will focus on the patent war and political crisis between India and Pakistan. Before the release, John made a sharp comment on the current socio-political environment of Bollywood during an interview. "Bollywood is no longer secular!" – John's allegation John said, "In today's industry, people do not work with an open mind like before. Every step is taken cautiously and calculatedly. The courage to speak directly on any subject has decreased. We have lost the sense of secularism." He further said, "Today, while making films, there is always the fear of 'someone getting hurt'. This situation is a stain on creativity."

John's clear thoughts on 'Kashmir Files': When asked about the controversial film 'The Kashmir Files' (2022), John said, "For me, the effectiveness of the film is what matters. If someone calls this film propaganda, then I will only say that it touches the hearts of the audience. Kashmir Files helped people understand a painful aspect of history. Cinema is a medium of entertainment, but it also influences the society."

John praises Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhawaa': John highly praised the historical drama 'Chhawaa' starring Akshaye Khanna and Vicky Kaushal. According to him, "Films like Chhawaa attract the audience to the theatres. Vicky has given an excellent performance in this film based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Such films keep the industry alive." John also congratulated Vicky on the success of the film by messaging him.

"The success of a film is determined by its impact on the hearts of the audience!" – John's film philosophy Explaining his cinematic vision, John said, "For me, the debate on whether a film is propaganda or not is useless. If a film connects with the audience emotionally and raises questions in their minds, then it is successful. In 'The Diplomat' too, we have tried to provide entertainment with a strong message."

Popularity vs Social Responsibility: John believes that "films are a mirror of society. They need to make people laugh, cry and think. But, today, the pressure of 'trends' and 'trolls' on filmmakers has increased. This situation should change."

Conclusion: John Abraham's films and ideas have always been the center of discussion. With the release of 'The Diplomat', he is once again in the mood to touch upon socio-political issues. His comments make it clear that the debate on secularism and creative freedom in Bollywood will continue for a long time.

'Kamaal' at the box office of 'Chaava' and 'Dhaamaal' also in controversy!: On one hand, many records of earnings were broken, on the other hand Film threatened with Rs 100 crore defamation case

Chhawa: Storm at the box office, but Vicky Kaushal's film caught in the crossfire of history and controversies
Mumbai: Vicky Kaushal's film 'Chhawa' has made a huge profit at the box office from the start, but the film has been in a storm of controversies ever since the trailer was released. Questions raised about the film regarding history, culture and emotions and the legal battle with the Shirke family have surrounded this success. Let's know in detail:

1. 'Chhawa''s tremendous performance at the box office - Records broken: By earning Rs 109 crore in the second weekend, 'Chhawa' has become the first Bollywood film to earn 100 crore+ in the second weekend. Thus, it left behind films like 'Stree 2' (₹93 crore) and 'Gadar 2' (₹89 crore). - Total Collection: With a collection of over Rs 334 crore in 14 days, this has proven to be the biggest hit of Vicky Kaushal's career. - Even the cricket match was rejected: The film's shows remained housefull even on Sunday, the India-Pakistan match, which testifies to the audience's liking.

2. The controversy started with the trailer itself The trailer released on January 22 showed Vicky Kaushal dancing as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. These scenes sparked outrage in the Maratha community. Former Rajya Sabha MP Sambhaji Raj had incited and said, "Showing a hero like Sambhaji Maharaj in a dancing style is an insult to history."

3. Serious allegations of tampering with history The film shows two Maratha chieftains named Ganoji Shirke and Kanhoji Shirke betraying Sambhaji Maharaj and conniving with Aurangzeb. The Shirke family is upset over this and has threatened legal action against the film.
Shirke family's allegation: - Laxmikant Raja Shirke (13th generation descendant) says, "The honour of our ancestors has been hurt. In history, Ganoji and Kanhoji were loyal to Sambhaji Maharaj, not traitors." - Legal notice: A notice sent to film director Laxman Utekar on February 20 has demanded the removal of these scenes from the film and a compensation of Rs 100 crore.

4. Director's apology and consequences - Laxman Utekar meets Shirke family and apologizes: "Our intention is not to hurt anyone's sentiments. The film does not target the names of villages or their descendants. If anyone has been hurt, I apologize." - Family's stubborn response: Shirke family is warning of protests across Maharashtra if the film is not changed.

5. History vs imagination: Bollywood's honesty The 'Chhawa' controversy raises the question: "How much imagination should be allowed in films for history?" The filmmakers argue that "this is an artistic expression, not a documentary." While those who care about historical heritage believe that "the honor of heroes should not be compromised."

6. Conclusion: The dilemma of success and controversy While 'Chhawa' is making waves at the box office, it is also embroiled in history, culture and legal battles. The case sends a cautionary message to Bollywood about portraying historical characters in the future. However, the film's success makes it clear that "audiences love a mix of heroism and drama."
Author's note: The balance between history and art has always been a tricky one. The story of 'Chhawa' is not just a film, but a symbol of the battle between the sensibilities of society and the freedom of art.

Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif took a dip in Mahakumbh: Raveena Tandon also reached with daughter Rasha, sang Har-Har Gange...bhajan

The Mahakumbh Mela is on its 43rd day and now only 2 days are left. Today, Monday, there has been more crowd than Sunday. Today, 91 lakh people have bathed in the Sangam, while since January 13, 62.61 crore devotees have bathed in the Sangam.

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar and actress Katrina Kaif have also bathed in the Sangam. Katrina entered the Mahakumbh with her mother-in-law and took a bath after worshipping Mother Ganga. She also took blessings of Swami Chidanand Saraswati and Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati at the Parmarth Niketan Shivir. Katrina said that she is very lucky and happy to be here at this time, and this place is very beautiful. Actress Raveena Tandon and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde have also bathed in the Sangam.

Traffic jams were seen around the parking lot at the entry point in Prayagraj today. Traffic jams also occur frequently on four roads within the city. Vehicles reaching Prayagraj are being stopped in the parking lot 10 km before Sangam, and then people can reach the fair area by auto, e-rickshaw or shuttle bus. Auto drivers are charging Rs 1000 for 10 km.

On Sunday (last weekend) there was a huge crowd all day, but the crowd started decreasing at night. Auto, e-rickshaw and bike drivers also took a lot of advantage on Sunday. Boatmen were also charging arbitrary amounts. When Bhaskar's reporter talked about booking a boat from Maujgiri Ghat to Sangam, the boatman asked for Rs 20 thousand, while on normal days one thousand rupees is charged.

The police took action against the biker gang and launched a campaign at GT Jawahar crossing and seized more than 200 bikes. 50 vehicles parked on the side of the road were removed and memos of 750 vehicles were cut. Today, more than 15 thousand sanitation workers will create a record by cleaning the Mahakumbh. Earlier on February 14, more than 300 sanitation workers had created a record by cleaning the river.

Now most of the pandals of the Mahakumbh have been removed and the saints and sages have left. This is a drone photo of the Sangam taken on Sunday, which shows the grandeur and crowd of the fair.
