This remarks irked Muslims living in the country and the rest of the world. Also, the party faces strong criticism from the leaders of opposition parties and many Bollywood celebs.

There is no bravery in deriding and insulting the faith of minorities in India when you are the majority and have your government ruling. So please let’s stop making crass, abusive bigots into heroes. They are simply hate mongers.
Many Islamic Countries including Qatar, Kuwait and Iran slammed India over the remark and summoned Indian envoys in their respective countries. The controversial remark also sparked a Twitter trend in the Arab world calling for a boycott of Indian products.

Bollywood actor Ananya Panday made her debut in Bollywood with Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year 2 with Tiger Shroff and has managed to mark her place in the film industry.
In a recent chat, the actress revealed that she has faced ‘sexism’ in the early days of her career.
During her recent appearance on The Ranveer Show, the Pati Patni Aur Woh diva said: “As soon as I started working, people started saying things like ‘you should fix this and fix that, like get a boob job or change something about your face. And, it is said very casually and not in direct words that you sometimes even don’t pick it up. They would say, ‘just fill up a little more. Put on some weight.’”
Ananya said that she felt hurt about it and would think, “Is that what people care about? Is that what I am reduced to? Is there nothing about me paramount to my waist size or chest size?” She said that the worst thing a person can do is judge them for their body.
Panday mentioned that she wasn’t promised work in the industry nor was spoken about any opportunities. The actress also said that she always wanted to be an actress but she never knew how she would accomplish that. “I never thought it was going to be easy,” Panday said.
Meanwhile, on the work front, the Khaali Peeli actress will be seen next in Puri Jagannadh’s action film Liger alongside Vijay Deverakonda, which will release in the theatres on 25 August 2022.
Earlier this year during Gehraiyaan’s promotions, Deepika Padukone explained how Ananya does not like sharing food and further elaborated on how they (Gehraiyaan’s leadcast) tried to invite themselves for a dinner at Ananya’s house but Panday was not keen on having them over.
When interviewer Cyrus Broacha asked Ananya why she did not want to have them over, she said, “Because my dad (Chunky Panday) is always roaming around in a towel. If you all still want to come, come.”
Director Shakun Batra and Deepika also revealed how Ananya never shares food.
Shakun and Cocktail diva recalled an incident when she didn’t share her keema pao with others but gave a few peas from the dish to Shakun.
While talking about the incident, Deepika told Cyrus Broacha on his show Cyrus Says on YouTube, “She doesn’t share her food.” Shakun further revealed how Ananya only shared some matar (peas) from the keema pao she was eating. Deepika then says, “At least you got that.”
Deepika added, “We invited ourselves to Ananya’s house because she said that she is having keema pao for dinner. We said thanks for inviting us and she was like ‘Yes if you guys wanna come, please come but there isn’t enough pao for you all.’” She further said, “We then waited 40 minutes for our food that we ordered but she kept eating hers and didn’t share.” Ananya then points at Shakun and says, “I gave him 2-3 matar (peas).”
Director Shakun Batra joined the conversation right after and pointed out how bizarre the reason was. “I can already imagine so many memes being made on that.”, he said.
The Queen Elizabeth on Thursday made an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony alongside active members of the royal family, where she greeted thousands of people who gathered in London to witness the start of Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The 96-year-old Elizabeth made two appearances on the Buckingham Palace balcony, looking elegant in a light blue attire.
In the crowds outside the palace on Thursday, it was a party. But people wondered aloud what happens to the monarchy after Elizabeth.
The queen was joined on the palace balcony by members of the royal family, though not Prince Andrew, Prince Harry or Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex.
Prince Andrew had tested positive for the coronavirus. Whereas the Queen announced that only senior working members of the royal family will be included in the balcony appearance hence Harry and Meghan who stepped back from royal duties in January 2020 weren’t a part of it.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have since moved to Montecito, California.
Angela Levin, during her conversation with Sky News, said that the Queen has made some tough decisions.
Sky News host Kay Burley spoke to Ms Levin on the show.
Ms Burley asked: “Will we see [Meghan and Harry] on the balcony?”.
Ms Levin replied, “No, the Queen has been firm about that”.
“The way she has done it is if you are not a working royal, you can’t be on it.
“That’s a way of stopping Prince Andrew from going out [on the balcony]”.
She continued: “I think there would be quite a feeling of anger amongst us all [if Andrew were to appear]”.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived secretly in a private jet ahead of the event. The couple’s visit will mark the first time that the members of the royal family will meet their daughter Lilibet who turns 1 on June 4. It was previously reported that Harry and Meghan will be staying at Frogmore Cottage during their UK visit for the celebration.
Ahead of the big celebrations to mark the monarch’s 70 years on the throne, a new portrait of the Queen was recently released by Buckingham Palace along with a personal message from the monarch that said, “I continue to be inspired by the goodwill shown to me, and hope that the coming days will provide an opportunity to reflect on all that has been achieved during the last 70 years, as we look to the future with confidence and enthusiasm.”
It was reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be joining the Queen on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Trooping the Colour ceremony since they are no longer serving royals. The couple will reportedly watch the ceremony from Duke of Wellington’s former office, overlooking Horse Guards Parade.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stole the spotlight with their amazing first appearance at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee on Thursday.
😂You just know the kids think Harry and Meghan are the coolest Uncle & Aunty. I had one of those too as a kid!

The duo arrived in the UK on Wednesday with their children Archie and Lilibet, and joined the royal family for Trooping the Colour.
The Sussexex, who did not appear alongside the Queen on the balcony, watched the birthday parade for Queen Elizabeth from the Major General’s Office, which overlooks the Horse Guards Parade.
The couple enjoyed the moments with the various young royals at the Palace, including Zara Tindall’s kids Mia, 8, and Lena, 3, and Peter Phillips’ daughter Savannah, 11.
Meghan and Harry, who was seen chatting with the Duke of Kent and at one point shushing the boisterous royal kids himself have appeared together with the royal family in more than two years.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their last appearance in March 2020 for Commonwealth Day as official working royals.
The Duchess looked smashing as she wore an asymmetrical, wide-brimmed Stephen Jones hat with an oversized navy bow and coordinating navy dress, while donned a blue suit rather than ceremonial dress as he has in the past.
The Queen previously announced that only senior working members of the royal family will be included in the balcony appearance. Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in January 2020 and have since moved to Montecito, California.
Actor Johnny Depp has won his multimillion-dollar US lawsuit against former wife Amber Heard after a jury ruled her 2018 article in the Washington Post was defamatory.
Depp sued the Aquaman star for $50 million over the piece, titled: “I spoke up against sexual violence and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.”
The jury also found in favor of Heard, who said she was defamed by Depp’s lawyer when he called her abuse allegations a hoax. Jury members found Depp should be awarded $15 million in damages, while Heard should receive $2 million.
Transnational celebrities from South Asia have reacted to the verdict!
Bollywood diva Disha Patani extended her support by sharing a photo of Johnny’s character Jack sparrow from the franchise Pirates of the Caribbean and said, “No body can ever replace you.”
Ali Zafar retweeted a fan’s video collage of him and Depp and wrote, “Even a true empath could only understand a small percentage of what Johnny Depp must’ve gone through.” According to Zafar, no verdict or amount of money can “bring him (Depp) back 6 prime years of his life, the art he could’ve produced and smiles he could’ve brought.”
Even a true empath could only understand a small percentage of what Johnny Depp must’ve gone through. The truth remains that no verdict or amount of money can bring him back 6 prime years of his life. The art he could’ve produced. Smiles he could’ve brought. #JohnnyDepphttps://t.co/374b2dlMGN
Actresses Aiman Khan and Mariyam Nafees also shared pictorial posts.
Armeena Khan shared her thoughts on the win. She wrote in a tweet that she’s “happy for victims of DV (Domestic Violence) everywhere”. In additional tweet, she also mentioned what she disliked the most about the case and that was the “vile, misogynistic abuse (online)” directed towards Heard. “I read some truly despicable things” she wrote.
Film producer Jemima Goldsmith took to Twitter and suggested that Depp “waive off Amber Heard’s damages” saying that it was never about the money and urge “trolls to stand down and wish her well.”
I wish Johnny Depp would now give a statement waiving all Amber Heard’s damages, saying it was never about the money, urge the trolls to stand down & wish her well.
