    Nora Fatehi reveals the worst red flags in a man

    In a recent interview, Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi revealed what she considers the “greatest red flag in a male.” Due to her connection to accused conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who has been charged with extortion and was detained last year, Nora has been under investigation.

    Hell no!': Nora Fatehi denies conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar gave her gifts  except during event | Exclusive - India Today

    Without using any names or denying that she was speaking from experience, Nora stated in a recent interview that the biggest red flag in a male was his tendency to “disappear.”

    The distinction between “disappearing” and “ghosting” was made by Nora. She said to Bollywood Hungama “Disappearing is a guy’s biggest warning sign. Not ghosting, where he talks to you a lot today and tomorrow, then is silent for five days, then returns and has an intense conversation with you before disappearing once more. When questioned if this occurs with her, she replies, “I don’t know,” when asked how you can tell he is chatting to more than one girl. I speak widely.”

    In the same interview, Nora was questioned about what she considered to be the “pettiest thing” a person might do following a breakup. The actor claimed she had “not done anything petty yet,” but she made hints that she had come dangerously near. “I haven’t yet committed any minor offenses. I was considering performing one (petty thing). I believe it is impolite to disclose a person’s private affairs to the public. That is pretty petty, in my opinion “said Nora.

    Nora Fatehi had attacked Jacqueline Fernandez’s allegations in December 2022 and denied getting any presents from alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Nora said that Sukesh had promised her “a beautiful house and a luxurious lifestyle” if she consented to be his girlfriend in a recent statement to Delhi’s Patiala House Court in the alleged extortion case. Sukesh responded to Nora’s statement in a recent statement to the media, saying, “Today she (Nora) talks about me promising her a house, but she already has taken a significant amount from me to buy a house for her family in Casablanca, Morocco. All these new stories are crafted by her to escape law after ED statement 9 months ago given by her.

    Nora’s first serious relationship in Bollywood was with actor Angad Bedi.

  • Twitter still can’t forget Fawad Khan’s performance in Kapoor and Sons

    Twitter still can’t forget Fawad Khan’s performance in Kapoor and Sons

    There are few performances on screen that remain etched in our minds even decades later, because of how well the actor was able to make the audience feel for the plight of his character.
    Fawad Khan has had limited roles in the entertainment industry, but with the few characters he has portrayed on screen like Maula Jatt from The Legend of Maula Jatt, Ashar from Humsafar, or even Rahul from Kapoor and Sons, his dedication and talent has always shined through.
    When this twitter user asked his followers to decide which performance by an actor is among the best, Fawad Khan was one of the few desi actors to be trending on the list. Users cited his performance in Kapoor and Sons to be one of the best one’s they’ve ever seen.

    One user explained how well this single conversation captured the dynamics of a toxic family so well
    “The way this movie captures the dynamics of a dysfunctional family, relationships, impact of past events on the present and the different ways in which people cope with loss and grief. And this scene specifically hits home with an argument escalating so quickly.”

    Another user cited this as their favorite scene because of how it demonstrated the way parents can bring up your past in any argument.
    “The way desi families can be so brutal bringing up your past at any given point and the way Kapoor & Sons displays it exactly how it is.”

    Kapoor and Sons released in 2016 to resounding reviews. The film is about a dysfunctional family where after the grandfather Amarjeet Kapoor (played by Rishi Kapoor) is admitted to hospital, his grandsons, the famous writer Rahul (played by Fawad Khan) and bartender Arjun (played by Sidharth Malhotra) decide to come back home to spend time with their parents. When the family is back home, old wounds and the appearance of a new girl threaten to rip the family apart.After Fawad Khan, the most popular male performer who was getting accolades on Twitter was Shah Rukh Khan for his performance in both “My name is Khan” and “Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Ghum”.

    Among female performances, the most popular names showing up was Deepika Padukone, for her debut film ‘Om Shanti Om’.

  • ‘I disagree’: Kareena Kapoor Khan strongly reacts to #BoycottBollywood trend

    ‘I disagree’: Kareena Kapoor Khan strongly reacts to #BoycottBollywood trend

    Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan recently responded to the Twitter trend #BoycottBollywood in which netizens are urging to boycott Bollywood movies. The Jab We Met star questioned how people will be entertained in the absence of movies during a function in Kolkata on Sunday for the Indian Chamber of Commerce-Young Leaders Forum event.

    Kareena Kapoor Khan says THIS on Boycott Bollywood trend - CineTalkers

    The “#Boycott Bollywood” campaign began last year, before a number of movies, including Laal Singh Chadha, Liger, Brahmastra, and Raksha Bandhan, were released. The tendency had an impact on some of the movies’ box office performances.

    Boycott Bollywood: Could Daily Twitter Outrage Really Kill Hindi Cinema?

    Kareena said, “I don’t agree with it at all. If that happens, how will we entertain, how will you have joy and happiness in your life, which, I think everybody needs And which cinema and films are promising, which we have always done, films have always done? Agar films nahi hogi toh entertainment kaisa hoga (If films aren’t there how will the people be entertained).”

    Before Laal Singh Chaddha was released, a group of Twitter users urged people not to see the film by trending the hashtag #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha. Many urged for boycotting movies like Liger, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, and Brahmastra, featuring Ranbir Kapoor. But Brahmastra was one of the highest-grossing movies of 2022 because of its strong box office performance. Prior to the release of Pathaan, starring Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan, the trend once more gained momentum.

    On the work front, Kareena will be seen next in Netflix’s The Devotion of Suspect X, directed by Sujoy Ghosh.

  • Govt to disclose Toshkhana gifts publicly

    Govt to disclose Toshkhana gifts publicly

    The federal government has decided to publicly disclose the details and records of gifts received and deposited in the Toshakhana over the past two decades.

    The decision was taken in a cabinet meeting after the government faced backlash for it’s reluctance to disclose the list of gifts.

    The Toshakhana was established in 1978. All public officeholders, including parliamentarians and bureaucrats, are bound to report the gifts they have received from foreign dignitaries to the Cabinet Division, whereafter they are to be deposited at the Toshakhana.

    Earlier, the incumbent government told Lahore High Court (LHC) that public disclosure of Toshakhana details could cause unnecessary media hype and could be potentially damaging to Pakistan’s foreign relations.

    Former Prime Minister (PM) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has been accused of not sharing details of the state gifts which he received during his tenure as the head of government.

    Last year, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) also disqualified the PTI chief as Member of the National Assembly (MNA) in the Toshkhana case.

  • PM Shehbaz regrets ‘inconvenience’ to Pakistanis from major power outage

    Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif has addressed Monday’s major power breakdown that left most of the country without electricity for more than 12 hours.

    In a tweet, the Premier expressed his “sincere regrets”. He wrote, “On behalf of my government, I would like to express my sincere regrets for the inconvenience our citizens suffered due to the power outage yesterday.”

    He added that an inquiry is going on to determine what led to the sudden blackout.

    A day after the power outage, Minister for Energy Khurram Dastgir said that electricity has been fully restored at grid stations across the country. However, the minister pointed out that there will be a shortage of electricity for the next two days.

    Residents complained of increased load-shedding even after the restoration, laying doubt on the government’s claims that power was fully restored.

    In a televised address on Tuesday, the minister explained said that there was a “delay in synchronisation” between Tarbela and Mangla power plants.
