This Ironic Tweet From Vivek Agnihotri Is Beyond Our Grasp
Vivek Agnihotriis probably best known for directing the highly erotic thrillerHate Story. The film got in trouble with the Censor Board due to its explicit scenes as well as the use of abusive words. After a lot of cuts, the film finally released and did average business at the box-office. But it was commercially successful enough to start a full-fledged franchise which treats its women nothing less than sex-objects.The director has also indulged in twitter warfare with a number of people and trolls over various topics. But its one of his tweets from yesterday which has left us scratching our heads. The recent rape incidents have again put India in a bad light and celebrities, leaders and prominent personalities are speaking out against the crimes and taking part in protests.Here's his tweet:It’s good to see film heroines holding placards to make a point on#Kathuatragedy.I wish they also hold a placard against the sexual exploitation of women in Bollywood.I wish they also refuse to do roles that portray heroines only as sex objects and dumb bimbos.Can they?— Vivek Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri)April 15, 2018Now, we know the director has the right to free speech but it seems he forgot that he directed Hate Story which objectified women and treated them as nothing but sex-objects and bimbos. The film was made just to sell the sex and it did help in starting a franchise which has done nothing except objectifying its women and maybe having some of the most cringe-worthy dialogues in Bollywood.What he is stating in his tweet won't be possible until and unless the producers, directors, and writers come up with ideas that don't treat women as eye candies or bimbos. The onus is on the ones making all the decisions. Also, till the time these kinds of films are being made, we can't really expect that there will be a decrease in these kinds of roles.

Not Tiger Shroff, But Disha Patani Chose To Spend Her Sunday With This Mystery Man
While one can certainly attribute the unprecedented success ofBaaghi 2to Tiger Shroff’s rippling muscles and sky-high kicks, truth be told,Tiger ShroffandDisha Patanichemistry is also a big factor behind the huge success of the filmAlthough both of them were liked by the audience form their very first films individually, their popularity touched new heights when they were rumored to be in dating each other. While the fans of this adorable couple can’t stop gushing each time the duo is spotted being all adorable together, is there somebody else that is making Disha a rebel in love?The Baaghi 2 actress was seen spending her Sunday having lunch and shopping, but not with Tiger Shroff as you would think. Disha, instead, was seen with this mystery man with whom she chose to spend her Sunday. While we don’t know who the person is, but Disha was seen flashing a big smile with him and even posing happily for the camera. We also could not help notice that Disha’ s mystery man looks really dashing.Interestingly, this is also the same guy who was seen enjoying a workout session with the Disha a few days back. Clearly, Disha enjoys spending a lot of her time with this hottie.However, although both look really super adorable together, we still hope that this was just a friend she was hanging out with and Tiger and Disha are still together.Though both Tiger and Disha have never really confirmed having a relationship with each other, but their on-screen chemistry, as well as off-screen camaraderie, is a living testament that the two share a very special bond.Their recent box office outing together, Baaghi 2 has been one of thehighest grosser at the box office in 2018 so farand has already raked in a collection of 150 crores and is still having a very strong run at the theatre.

Knowing the actress turned director, Manto will surely have the hallmark of brilliance that has become synonymous withNandita Das.Not GlorifyingWhile talking about the film on different occasions the director has maintained that Manto as a film is not an attempt to put the legendary author on a pedestal. The story is simply being told because Manto’s journey as a person is a story that deserves to be told. In the current socio-political landscape, it might resonate with the on-going debate onfreedom of speech and expression and especially creative freedomThe CastFor her film, Nandita has chosen a cast that could not have been more brilliant. Apart from the maestro Nawazuddin himself, the film also starsTahir Raj Bhasinwho wowed us with his baddie actor in Mardaani will be seen playing the 40s Bollywood superstar and Manto’s close confidante Shyam Chaddha whileRasika Duggalwho is known for her work in short films and web series would be essaying the role of Manto’s wife Safiah.Rishi Kapoorwill also have a cameo in the filmFirst Biopic on a Writer In BollywoodEven with Bollywood’s obsession withbiopics, it is weird how there isn’t a single biopic made on authors and poets.

He said in an interview that by entering into the physical world of Manto, he can penetrate his mind.

#JusticeForAsifa: Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor And Other Bollywood Celebs Express Their Angst!
The case of kidnap, torture, gang-rape and murder against an 8-year-old child in Kashmir has left the entire nation shaken. Worst of all, the heinous act was done in the sacred space of a temple by the people who are apparently gatekeepers of the sacred place and a policeman, who is ironically supposed to bring ensure law and order works in the nation. The child was not just kidnapped and drugged, she was held captive for three days without food, gang-raped by several men and raped 'for one last time' by a policeman before she was brutally murdered.While the nation is yet to recover from the shock, there are many people out there who have come out in full support, for the accusers. Needless to say, this has left the masses enraged. Many people are protesting against the brutal crime. Like the common people, celebs have also voiced their shock and angst on the Kathua Rape case and are demanding Justice for Asifa.Here are what they have to say:Farhan AkhtarImagine what goes through the mind of an 8 yr old as she is drugged, held captive, gang raped over days and then murdered.If you don’t feel her terror, you are not human.If you don’t demand Asifa get justice, you belong to nothing.— Farhan Akhtar (@FarOutAkhtar)April 12, 2018Sonam KapoorAshamed appalled and disgusted by fake nationals and fake Hindus.

Love, Patriotism and Sacrifice- This Is The Real Story Of Raazi’s Sehmat Khan
A daughter, a wife, a spy –The trailer of Alia Bhatt and Vicky KaushalstarrerRaazi is outand its difficult to tear your eyes off Alia in this Meghna Gulzar directorial. The two-minute trailer is packed with theintensity that Meghna Gulzar is known forand even with the fleeting glimpses, it’s evident that it will be an incredible story that will keep you on the edges of your seat. However, you might fall off the very same chair when you realize that it is a true story, and Sehmat is not actually a figment of the imagination.Harinder Sikka was a disillusioned Indian Navy Officer who went to Pakistan to write media articles on the Army’s intelligence failure during the 1971 Indo-Pak war. It was during this time he got to know about this Kashmiri Muslim woman who married a Pakistani Army Officer and provided sensitive classified information to India during the war.Intrigued, Sikka set out to meet the woman at her house in Maler Kotla in Punjab. Sikka describes her a quiet woman who did not speak much. In fact, it took a good amount of pleading on Sikka’s part to convince her to share her story. But once she started talking, that story that unfolded was a glorious mess of valor, patriotism and human emotions. Sikka understood that it was a story that the world deserved to know but at the same time maintaining her anonymity was also of paramount importance. Thus the fictional name Sehmat Khan came into being to give this story the voice it needed, but not before the promise that Sikka would not publish the book in her lifetime, a promise Sikka kept.In his novel, Calling Sehmat, on which the Raazi is mostly based on, Sikka somewhat fictionalizes the story of Sehmat which was probably too explosive to be presented in its undiluted form. But even then it is a story of ultimate sacrifice that the world has not heard before.It was her father who chose this path for her. An established and affluent businessman of Kashmir, it is difficult to understand why her father would want something so dangerous for his daughter. But that is how Sehmat’s story is perhaps- astounding and devoid of reason.Sehmat in Pakistan became the tutor of the grandchildren of General Yahya Khan and had access to intelligence that was invaluable to the Indian Army. In fact, it was due to her timely information that India was able to save INS Viraat on which India’s naval prowess was greatly dependent on. Time and again Sehmat has passed on invaluable information to Army without caring about the consequences of getting g exposed or putting her putting marriage at stake, given she actually fell in love with the Pakistani Army Officer she married simply to get access to intelligence information.When she came back to India from Pakistan, she was pregnant with the child of his Pakistani husband who on growing up went on to join the Indian Army.Even in her apparent anonymity, Sehmat Khan’s story is one that valor, patriotism and sacrifice can derive its definition from.

Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar Has Been Engaged For Long and Somehow We Never Noticed
A lot has been said and written about the 52-year-old actor/ model Milind Soman and his 26-year-old girlfriend owing to their unusual age gap. However, proving all the naysayers wrong the couple has been strong as ever and if rumors are to be believed then the two might get hitched this year as well.Recently when Ankita posted a picture of them holding hands that people noticed the engagement rings on their finger that they realized that the couple was already engaged.Funnily enough, this is not the first time that they have posted a picture of them wearing the engagements rings but somehow it escaped everybody’s notice. Ankita first posted a picture on 3rdOctober 2016 where the two are wearing the rings, but it escaped everybody’s notice.She again about a year later posted another picture of both of them where they are clearly seen wearing their engagements rings, but yet again it failed to catch the eye of anyone.But now with the latest picture, all the doubts about the two being engaged is finally confirmed. Milind has also been to Guwahati to meet Ankita’s parents and it seems like the couple has the blessing of her family and looking at all the developments we can surely conclude that the wedding bells will soon be ringing.The couple who is unusual in every possible sense of the term have been giving us major relationship goals with their adorable pictures and thought-provoking captions and we wish them all the best even if the Ironman of India getting hitched breaks our heart a little.
