Senior actor Adnan Siddiqui is making headlines for all the wrong reasons after his recent appearance on the show Hansana Maanin Hai, where he made some questionable comments about women. Social media users have been quick to criticise him, questioning not only his remarks but also his understanding of appropriate behaviour.

During the show, host Tabish Hashmi asked Adnan what he notices first when meeting a woman. After a brief pause, Adnan responded, “When I meet a girl for the first time, I notice her feet.” This statement immediately caught attention, leaving many viewers uncomfortable with the comment.

Tabish, playing along, agreed, saying he too notices a woman’s feet when meeting her. He humorously added that he checks her feet to ensure, “the place where I have to lie for the rest of my life should be clean.” While this comment was made in jest, it didn’t sit well with many viewers who found the conversation inappropriate.

Adnan went on to explain his reasoning, stating, “I feel that people who keep their hands and feet clean have a good personality; they like cleanliness.” This was followed by a remark from the host, who said such people also tend to keep their hearts and homes clean. Adnan added, “They should keep their hearts clean; they should clean their houses themselves.”

However, things took a more uncomfortable turn when the host pressed further, asking if a woman who has clean feet but short hair would be acceptable. Adnan’s response was blunt: “The girl should just be alive; she should be alive.”

The comments sparked an outpouring of criticism on social media, with many questioning the actor’s attitude towards women.

One user remarked, “Adnan Siddiqui is a father of a daughter. He should think before saying such things.” Others criticised the actor’s choice of words, with one user stating, “Uncle, you’re getting older—please stop asking such questions.”

Many pointed out that such remarks reflected poorly on his character. “It’s not about hands and feet,” one commenter said. “It’s about what defines a person’s character.”

While some took issue with the comments, others directed their anger at the show itself, accusing it of encouraging inappropriate behaviour.

As the backlash continues, it remains to be seen how Adnan Siddiqui will respond to the criticism.

Fans are excited for the upcoming historical courtroom drama Kesari Chapter 2 after the recently released teaser gave a sneak peek into the high-stakes battle for justice that will unfold on screen.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and produced by Dharma Productions, the film stars Akshay Kumar as C. Sankaran Nair, the courageous lawyer who took on the British Empire after the brutal Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919.

In the teaser, we see Kumar’s character confronting the mighty forces of British colonial power. His resolve to uncover the truth about the massacre is palpable, and the emotional weight of his mission is enhanced by the intense atmosphere created by the trailer’s visuals and soundtrack. The teaser also gives us a glimpse of R. Madhavan as the British defence lawyer, with Ananya Panday portraying a fellow lawyer involved in the legal proceedings.

As Akshay Kumar faces off against the British defence, the teaser showcases several striking moments, including the stark contrast between the colonisers’ indifference and the unyielding spirit of Nair’s fight for justice. One powerful image shows Kumar, as Nair, vowing to bring the truth to light in a fierce courtroom clash.

The film, which will be released on 18 April 2025—just days after the anniversary of the massacre—promises to be a riveting portrayal of one man’s fight against the Empire. The teaser hints at the film’s dark, serious tone, showcasing moments from the horrific massacre, as well as the emotional and moral struggle of those who fought for truth and accountability.

The trailer, which was shared widely across social media platforms, already has fans buzzing about the film’s potential to capture the raw emotion and historical significance of this event.

Producer Karan Johar shared his excitement for the project, stating, “We’ve carefully recreated history in a way that does justice to the events of Jallianwala Bagh. This film is our tribute to the victims, and to the fight for justice that many fought for during that time.”

With its impactful teaser and a powerful cast led by Akshay Kumar, Kesari Chapter 2 is set to be one of the most anticipated films of the year. Fans and history enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting the film’s release.

DC Studios just dropped a jaw-dropping new look at James Gunn’s Superman, and let’s just say—this is not your usual Man of Steel. Shared during Warner Bros.’ presentation at CinemaCon and now released online, the sneak peek has fans buzzing for all the right (and unexpected) reasons.

The extended footage features David Corenswet as a very badly injured Superman, unable to walk or fly, pleading with his loyal dog Krypto to drag him home. Yes, you read that right—Krypto is literally pulling a flopping, broken Superman through the snow. It’s part hilarious, part brutal, and fully James Gunn.

Though the scene starts off morbidly funny, it quickly shifts into classic superhero weirdness in the best way possible. Krypto drags Clark to the Fortress of Solitude, which looks more magical and inventive than ever. Inside, a group of medical robots in superhero capes leap into action, including one wild moment where they focus concentrated sunlight to heal him.

Fans got a clear listen to Robot 4—voiced by none other than Alan Tudyk. A longtime James Gunn collaborator and expert in bringing robots to life, Tudyk’s voicework is already earning praise online. Meanwhile, speculation is swirling about the voice behind Robot 12, with fans throwing out their best guesses.

The trailer also gives longer glimpses of other key characters: Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner.

What makes this sneak peek stand out is Gunn’s signature blend of heart, humor, and chaos—something that’s clearly setting this Superman apart from previous versions. And fans are here for it.

Superman, the first official film in DC’s rebooted universe, soars into theaters on July 11. With Peter Safran and James Gunn producing—and Gunn writing and directing—it’s shaping up to be a bold, emotional, and surprisingly fun reintroduction to the world’s most iconic hero.

Model-turned-actor Nameer Khan recently engaged in a conversation with Maliha Rehman on Gloss ETC’s One-on-One, which began as a lighthearted discussion but quickly gained viral attention. When Maliha asked him about the increasing number of his female fans, Nameer chuckled, “A lot, a lot. I enjoy it. Even the demographics of my Instagram have shifted.” He mentioned that while his audience was 80% male during his fashion career, it has transformed to 80 percent female since he transitioned to television. “What else can I expect from the 80 percent,” he humorously asked when questioned about receiving love letters or direct messages.

However, it wasn’t just his playful demeanor that drew attention. The timing of the interview coincided with both the success and controversy surrounding his character in Qarz-e-Jaan, in which he portrays a deeply flawed man shaped by patriarchy, estranged from his father, and guilty of horrific actions, including sexual assault.

The contrast between Nameer’s character on-screen and his true self off-screen is intriguing for viewers. While his role represents toxic masculinity domineering, aggressive, and disturbingly possessiveness, Nameer himself appears soft-spoken, articulate, and self-aware in reality.

Fans have taken note of this disparity.

One Reddit user commented, “He is an exceptional performer certainly destined to be a versatile actor. Good-looking, humble, and well-articulated, I enjoyed his recent interview.” Others remarked that he is “well-spoken, unlike his character,” and began to advocate for him to take on leading roles.

Nonetheless, the admiration has also prompted a more serious discussion: are we, once again, idealizing a problematic male character simply because he is portrayed by an attractive actor?

Qarz-e-Jaan does not try to soften its message- it exposes the hypocrisy of a society that allows men to exploit women outside their homes while fiercely guarding their “own.” Yet, when fans become enamored with Nameer’s appearance and charm, some fear that the character’s brutality may be overlooked amidst the admiration.

Nameer Khan may have just made his mark on television, but he’s already triggering the kind of discussions most actors spend years chasing. And whether audiences are tuning in for his talent or his face, they’re definitely watching.
