Bigg Boss 19 fame Farhana Bhatt has once again found herself at the centre of controversy after reacting to criticism over her earlier remarks about Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran. Her comments had sparked a heated debate online, with many social media users questioning her views.

During the recent Israel-Hamas War developments and tensions involving Israel, United States, and Iran, people across India shared their reactions to reports about Ali Khamenei. Farhana was among those who publicly expressed sadness over the news, calling him a strong personality. However, her statement quickly triggered backlash and heavy trolling online.

Now, the reality TV personality has responded again and made it clear that the criticism does not affect her.

Farhana Bhatt Responds To Trolling

In a conversation with Instant Bollywood, Farhana Bhatt addressed the controversy and said people have the right to express their opinions.

She said, “hamare paas abhivyakti ki swatantrata hai aur bolne ki azadi hai. iska haq hai. Jahan log alag-alag apni bhavnayein vyakt karte hain jaisi unhe chahiye. mujhe koi dikkat nahi hai.”

During the interaction, Farhana also said she has always stood by India. She mentioned that she has worked closely with the Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir as a peace activist.

She added, “main apne desh ke saath hamesha khadi hoon. ek peace activist ke taur par jammu kashmir mein maine sabse zyada army ke saath kaam kiya hai aur mujhe is baat se koi fark nahi padta ki log kya keh rahe hain.”

Farhana also spoke about criticism over how she celebrates festivals. According to her, such choices are personal and should not be judged by others.

She said, “Main holi kaise manaun yeh mera mann hai, mera tyohar hai. mujhe koi nahi bata sakta ki mujhe kaise tyohar manana hai.”

About The Controversy

The controversy started when Farhana reacted emotionally to the reported death of Ali Khamenei. Her earlier statement quickly went viral and sparked mixed reactions on social media.

She had said, “Woh ek aisi shakhsiyat the jinko kabhi bhulaya nahi ja sakta. woh hamesha hamare dilon mein zinda rahenge. allah unki shahadat qabool kare. Jitne bhi kashmiri log hain woh buri tarah se toot chuke hain. sabka dil dehal chuka hai. main sehri ke baad soyi nahi hoon. woh maseeha the.”

Her remarks were widely criticised online. Among those who reacted strongly was Rocky Jaiswal, husband of television actor Hina Khan. He questioned what he called “selective outrage” from people mourning a foreign leader while not showing the same emotion for Indian heroes.

In a strongly worded note, he wrote: “You backstab those who protect you and mourn foreigners who always stood against your country. Loyalty is everything”.

Meanwhile, Farhana recently shared photos from her Holi celebration at an elder care centre. In the pictures, she was seen applying gulal and distributing sweets to senior citizens.

Despite the ongoing criticism, Farhana Bhatt has maintained that she stands by her words and is not personally affected by the trolling.

MP Viral Video: In a video that has now gone viral, a Headmistress of Government Primary School from Chitrakoot in Madhya Pradesh could be seen forcing young children to provide a massage, including a belan massage.

MP Viral Video-Turn Of Events

The Principal could be seen in different dresses, suggesting the video was a compilation of massages performed by different children on different days. This clearly means that this was not a one-off event.

The principal could be seen in casual outfits and a lady who is probably the school’s cleaning or catering staff could also be seen in the video. As the video ends, there is a call for an immediate action on the headmistress.

Social Media Reactions

A user wrote, “I can’t believe what’s happening. Common sense and empathy are no longer part of the mindset. During my visits over the last 30 years, I’ve seen very concerning changes.” Another user commented, “How long will poor general category suffer this oppression. If the class teacher was from reserved category she would never treat school children in this manner.”

A social media user commented, “You go to any government school and you will see majority teacher are from general category and they are NOT at all interested in teaching the student especially in the tribal regions.” A user said, “Suspend this school teacher immediately and Education department should ask her to return all the salary which has given to her till now with interest.”

Another user commented, “Aise logo ko at the time suspend kar dena chahiye… Teaching Oath nahin hoti but training mein  padhate hain ki bachcho ko puri Devotion ke sath padhana hoga.” A social media user commented, “Ever thought abt the possibility of those MP, MLA’s children start asking for similar favors from other underprivileged students?”

Noida International Airport: Key Security Hurdle Cleared, DGCA License In A Week! Would Delhi’s IGIA Finally Get Decongested?

Noida International Airport: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation is likely to provide the required aerodrome license to the Jewar International Airport in Jewar.

The mandatory security clearance has been provided to the Jewar Airport from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), according to Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) chief executive officer RK Singh.

The BCAS team examined a series of security components at the Jewar Airport, including but not limited to passenger screening protocols, anti-sabotage procedures, access control systems and surveillance infrastructure to name a few.

However, Singh didn’t specified the exact date from which the International Airport would commence its operations.

Christoph Schnellmann, the chief executive of Noida International Airport, remarked the BCAS clearance is a significant breakthrough in the regulatory journey of the Noida Airport. Schnellmann noted that the BCAS approval allows the Noida Airport to finalize route planning and operational timelines.

Noida International Airport- DGCA Final Inspection Pending

NIAL, which is the government agency overseeing the Jewar Airport project, stated that the next step for the initiation of operations would be a final inspection by the DGCA.

NIAL nodal officer Shailendra Bhatia remarked infrastructure of the airport under the first phase is now all set to effectively handle approximately 12 million passengers every year. Bhatia added that the air traffic control tower, terminal building and runway are now fully ready.

Will Operations Commence From April 2026?

Once the DGCA license is granted, airlines would be allowed to introduce scheduled flights from the Noida International Airport. It is widely expected that the Jewar Airport would commence operations from the month of April 2026.

The Jewar Airport is likely to decongest the heavily-burdened Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) where the infrastructure capacity has been steadily outpaced by robust aviation demand. Furthermore, the Noida Airport would signal a vital milestone in the expansion of air connectivity across the Delhi National Capital Region.

Nepal Election Results 2026: Could The Rookie Defeat Stalwarts Oli And Thapa To Conquer The Himalayan Republic’s Top Seat?

Nepal Election Results 2026

Nepal Election Results 2026: The Nepal general elections are likely to deliver a significant political shift from the traditional politics of leaders such as KP Sharma Oli and Gagan Thapa. The victory baton is all set to get passed to Balendra “Balen” Shah, a former civil engineer and rapper who become the Mayor of Kathmandu.

Balen’s party has long focused on promises of transparency, economic reforms, accountability and bridge-building measures between voters who want change and the traditional political establishment of the Himalayan Republic.

Nepal Election Results 2026-Early Voting Trends

According to early voting trends, Gen-Z backed Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) of Balendra is all set to win. The Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) and the Nepali Congress are presently lagging behind RSP.

The Nepal Election 2026 is the first nationwide vote ever since Gen Z-led protests rock the Himalayan Republic in September 2025 that forced the resignation of KP Sharma Oli’s government after several weeks of political unrest.        

Local media was informed by Acting Chief Election Commissioner Ram Prasad Bhandari that the counting of votes that happened under the country’s proportional representation system may take an additional 2-3 days.

How Would Nepal Election Results Impact India?

For India, the emergence of Balendra as the potential Prime Minister of Nepal represents both a significant strategic uncertainty and a wonderful opportunity for renewed engagement.

​ For the past several months, tensions have multiplied between the once brothers and allies for life. The Kalapani-Lipulekh border that is a strategically important tri-junction area in proximity to the China-India-Nepal border is claimed by both countries. The primary reason for the dispute is the conflicting interpretations of the Sugauli Treaty of 1816. According to the eastern tributary interpretation, India controls the region while Nepal argues that the western tributary forms the boundary, placing Kalapani within its territory.

Shah’s political ascent has been partly fuelled by his willingness to challenge what he terms India’s “big brother” attitude toward Nepal, a narrative that resonates strongly with younger voters weary of perceived Indian interference.

King, the upcoming action thriller starring Shah Rukh Khan, is already creating strong buzz among fans. The film has been shooting at several locations, and a major schedule has now been completed at Ellora Studios in Mira-Bhayandar.

According to reports, Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter Suhana Khan recently wrapped an eight-night shoot for a grand sequence set during Vijayadashmi celebrations. The makers reportedly created a huge set and used hundreds of background performers to recreate the festive atmosphere.

The film is special for fans because it marks the first big-screen collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan. Their scenes together are already one of the most talked-about aspects of the project.

Shah Rukh Khan And Suhana Khan Shoot Grand Vijayadashmi Sequence For King

As per a report by Mid-Day, the team filmed a major sequence of King at Ellora Studios in Mira-Bhayandar. The scene captures the scale and excitement of Vijayadashmi celebrations.

To make the sequence look authentic, the makers built a large set that recreated a festive procession. The set included drums, colours, decorations and a huge crowd to reflect the energy of the festival.

An insider told the publication, “The team recreated the scale and energy of a Vijayadashami procession with drums, colours and the frenzy that is seen on the immersion day.”

The sequence was filmed across eight nights because it involved a large number of performers and complex scenes. The source further revealed, “Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana shot with a huge crowd, consisting of hundreds of background performers, across eight nights. Suhana also performed several stunts.”

The Vijayadashmi scene is expected to be one of the most visually striking moments in the film. It reportedly combines festival visuals with action elements.

More About SRK’s King

Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is being developed as a large-scale action thriller. The film is produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment along with Siddharth Anand’s Marflix Pictures. Reports suggest the film has a budget of around Rs 350 crore, making it one of the most expensive Indian films.

In the film, Shah Rukh Khan plays a dark and ruthless professional assassin. The character has been described as “menacing” and “ice-cold,” showing a darker side of the actor on screen.

Another major highlight of the film is Suhana Khan’s big-screen debut. In King, she plays the protege of Shah Rukh Khan’s character. The story follows a mentor-disciple relationship where the “King” trains her to survive in a dangerous, crime-filled world.

The film also features Abhishek Bachchan in a rare negative role. He plays the main antagonist who faces off against Shah Rukh Khan in an intense showdown. Apart from the lead trio, the film reportedly has a large ensemble cast including Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Jackie Shroff and Arshad Warsi in important roles.

The story of King is said to unfold across two timelines, showing different stages of the characters’ lives. A younger version of Shah Rukh Khan’s character will reportedly face an antagonist played by Raghav Juyal, while the older timeline focuses on his clash with Abhishek Bachchan’s character.

The film is also being shot internationally. Apart from Mumbai, several scenes are being filmed in Warsaw, Poland. One major action sequence featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in Europe reportedly cost around Rs 50 crore to shoot.

The music of King is composed by Sachin–Jigar, marking their first collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan. The background score is being created by Anirudh Ravichander, who earlier worked with the superstar on Jawan.

King is scheduled to release in theatres worldwide on December 24, 2026, and is already among the most awaited Bollywood films.

Thalapathy Vijay is once again trending online after he was seen attending a wedding reception with Trisha Krishnan. The appearance has sparked a huge debate on social media. The controversy comes at a time when the actor is reportedly going through divorce proceedings with his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam.

The viral video shows Vijay and Trisha arriving together at the wedding reception of producer Kalpathi Suresh and Meenakshi’s son. Vijay, who recently entered politics, wore a traditional outfit and carried a bouquet. Trisha looked elegant in a cream saree with a golden border. The two also posed for photographs with the newlyweds.

However, the moment quickly went viral and triggered strong reactions online. Many users questioned whether the public appearance was appropriate, considering the serious allegations surrounding Vijay’s personal life.

Fans React Strongly To Thalapathy Vijay And Trisha’s Public Appearance

Soon after the video surfaced online, many fans shared their reactions on social media platform X. While some defended the actor, several others expressed disappointment. One user wrote, “His wife left him. His kids left him. Now even his own fans are leaving him. What a shame!! He lost all his reputation just for a 40-year-old woman.”

Another user even said they were no longer a fan. The comment read, “Thank you Vijay anna for 25 years of happiness in via Cinema. Today I step down as your fanboy. I know this isn’t an easy decision, but I truly believe it’s for the betterment of society.”

Some users also praised Vijay’s wife, Sangeetha, for staying dignified during the controversy. One person wrote, “Sangeetha has shown utmost dignity in dealing with her entire personal life discourse by seeking privacy, a mutual agreement and by not naming the actress in context, but LOOK at this man’s audacity to behave absolutely with no remorse or shame by triggering and rage baiting.”

Filmmaker Says Stars Should Avoid ‘Setting Wrong Example’

Noted producer and critic G Dhananjheyan shared his thoughts on social media. Although he did not mention Thalapathy Vijay or Trisha Krishnan directly, many believe his comments were about the ongoing controversy. In his post, he referred to a famous dialogue from Spider-Man and highlighted the responsibility that comes with fame.

He wrote, “With great power/popularity comes great responsibility”… popular dialogue in the film ‘Spider-Man’. People with huge popularity carry great responsibility to set a good example for common people on how to lead a honest and respectful life for them to follow. When that’s ignored, everyone loses their respect for them.”

He also spoke about the importance of family values. According to him, public figures must think about the impact their actions have on their followers. The producer added, “For every person, Family comes first. When family is taken for granted and abused (mentally or emotionally), the love and respect for them gets lost. Such acts can’t be normalised or justified under any circumstances.”

Dhananjheyan further admitted that the situation had disturbed him. He wrote, “Being a strong family-oriented person, I am disturbed by a few leading actors setting the wrong example through their acts, for their millions of fans and followers”.

Thalapathy Vijay And Wife Sangeetha’s Divorce

Vijay’s personal life has been under intense attention after reports claimed that his wife Sangeetha Sornalingam filed for divorce on February 27 in the Chengalpattu family court in Chennai. According to the petition, she accused the actor of infidelity and claimed he was involved in an “adulterous relationship” with an actress.

The petition states, “In April 2021, the Petitioner (Sangeetha) discovered that the Respondent (Vijay) was involved in an adulterous relationship with an actress. This caused her deep emotional pain and mental suffering, amounting to betrayal and violation of marital trust.”

It further alleges that Thalapathy Vijay continued to associate with the actress despite the emotional distress it caused his family.

About Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar The Revenge

The film is directed by Aditya Dhar, who has also written and produced the project. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar. Apart from Ranveer Singh, the film also features actors R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in important roles.

Mamata Banerjee: Ravindra Narayana Ravi, a former Indian Police Service bureaucrat before he became the Governor of Nagaland, Meghalaya and Tamil Nadu has been appointed as the new Governor of West Bengal, replacing CV Ananda Bose.

Mamata Banerjee Expresses Shock

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed shock and anger over the sudden replacement of Bose with Ravi. Interestingly, Mamata Banerjee has never appreciated Bose during this entire tenure. She never gave the office of Governor any form of respect but is now expressing shock over his dismissal. In fact, Bose termed Mamata as Lady Macbeth and openly commented that he would socially boycott Mamata Banerjee.

It was claimed by Mamata Banerjee that she was never consulted on the appointment of Tamil Nadu Governor as the Governor of West Bengal. She went on to add that the appointment erodes the dignity of states and democratic conventions.

Under the Indian Constitution, the Indian Government is under no obligation whatsoever to consult a sitting Chief Minister or anyone else before recommending or appointing a Governor or Lieutenant Governor. The appointment is made by the President by warrant under his hand and seal under Article 155 of the Constitution of India and there is absolutely no constitutional requirement for state consultation.

Social Media Reactions

A user commented, “Why are you frightened Didi? Because the new Governor of West Bengal, RN Ravi ji, who is currently serving as the Governor of Tamil Nadu, is a retired Kerala-cadre IPS officer who has also served in CBI, IB & was deputy National Security Advisor in 2018, under NSA Doval ji?”

Another user wrote, “Those who barge in the middle of an investigative raid being done by ED & run away with evidence/s don’t have any right to talk about the Constitution of India and democratic conventions and dignity.”

Another user commented, “Look who is talking about Constitution and democracy!” A user said, “When you used brute police force to steal files from NIA and Siri officials that time you didn’t remember the Constitution.”

The Kerala Story 2 Box Office Collection Day 7: Disappointing Run! Will the Film Recover Its Cost? Check Earnings

The Kerala Story 2 Box Office Collection Day 7: The Kerala Story 2 has finished its first week in theaters, but the box office numbers are not as strong as many anticipated. The sequel came with a lot of buzz and controversy, which initially helped attract attention. However, the momentum seems to be slowing down as the days go by. During its opening weekend, the film drew in a good number of viewers, mainly due to audience curiosity. But weekday earnings fell noticeably, which often indicates that a movie might have trouble sustaining its performance over time in theaters.

Day 7 Collection Report

On Day 7, The Kerala Story 2 reportedly earned around ₹2 to ₹3 crore at the domestic box office. This brings the film’s estimated first-week total to about ₹28 to ₹32 crore. While the opening weekend made up a large part of the revenue, weekday collections dropped steadily. This trend often suggests that the film is depending on initial curiosity rather than positive reviews. Trade experts believe that unless the film sees a strong increase during the second weekend, its overall box office performance could stay average.

Budget vs Earnings

Reports indicate that The Kerala Story 2 was produced on a more limited budget than many large commercial films. Still, even with a moderate budget, the film needs steady earnings in the upcoming weeks to break even. If the movie does well in its second weekend and receives good word of mouth, it might recover its production costs. Otherwise, it could end with an average or below-average box office result.

What Could Help the Film Recover?

Several factors could still affect the film’s box office success. Positive audience reviews, strong weekend attendance, and limited competition from new releases could help increase collections. Additionally, the film’s performance in smaller cities and its OTT rights could also add to its overall revenue. For now, everyone is watching the second weekend numbers, which will show if The Kerala Story 2 can improve its box office performance.

In the intensity of the moment, Sakshi started jumping in joy assuming that Bumrah has legally caught the batsman.

Captain Cool Dhoni urged his wife to calm down and delivered a classic Mahendra Singh Dhoni reaction. The gesture immediately triggered laughter from the guests and celebrities in the enclosure.

Sanju Samson And Shivam Dube Shine

In the match, Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube – both of whom would play under the Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) – helped Team India win the match. Samson scored 89 runs off just 42 balls while Dube scored 43 from 25 balls.

England gave team India a tough fight and lost the match by just 7 runs despite India scoring a massive 253 runs. Jacob Bethell, the 22-year-old sensation from England, scored a scintillating 105 runs off 48 balls. India would now face Team New Zealand on March 8 in Ahmedabad.

Social Media Reactions

A user commented, “Dhoni’s game sense is outstanding! Sakshi ji’s excitement and then Mahi lovingly scolding her was such a cute moment. Wankhede’s atmosphere becomes memorable with moments like these. This is the real fun of cricket.”

Another user commented, “It’s these light-hearted moments in cricket that make the match even more enjoyable.”

Actor Yami Gautam has spoken out after a social media controversy over her accidentally liking an Instagram reel that appeared to mock Kriti Sanon’s recent Best Actress win. The incident caught attention online on March 5, prompting Yami to explain that it was unintentional and that she did not mean to target any fellow actor. She noted that being tagged in many posts daily can sometimes lead to accidental clicks.

Here’s What Yami Gautam Said

On X, she wrote, “It has come to my notice that I apparently LIKED a reel that is condescending toward another actor. We get tagged in multiple things every day, and this appeared during an award-function reference like any other tag. It isn’t true and was definitely not done consciously, if anything, it may have been clicked accidentally. Never in my life have I resorted to cheap PR tactics. I have always focused on my work and moved on.”

She added, “In the world of clickbait, it’s tempting for even dignified social media portals to harp on this and turn it into coffee-table gossip. But I would hope they would consider that I have earned a better reputation than that. I have no PR team, have respectfully cleared my stance on entertainment award shows long ago, and remain focused on my work.”

Netizens React To Her Statement

The post received a mix of reactions online. One fan wrote, “You don’t need to explain anything. Your work and your films speak louder than any rumour.” Another commented, “When something is definitely accidental, it usually doesn’t need an ESSAY to defend it.” A third said, “This is the level of scrutiny celebrities live with – even a tap on the screen needs an explanation.”

For those unaware, the controversy followed Kriti Sanon’s Best Actress win at the Zee Cine Awards for Tere Ishk Mein. Some fans felt Yami Gautam should have won for her performance in Haq. The reel in question showed Sanon celebrating her win alongside a past interview clip of Yami saying, “You try everything, and it still doesn’t work. So, I have stopped seeking any kind of validation. If I get that award, then I am a good actress, and otherwise, I am not. Nothing like that.”

The video ended with the question, “Is it fair?”, suggesting Yami may have been more deserving. Her accidental like quickly gained attention, especially on Reddit, where some users called her “insecure” or “shady.” Others accused her of undermining a colleague, while many defended her, saying she may have been genuinely snubbed.

Yami Gautam And Kriti Sanon’s Work Front

Talking about their professional front, Kriti Sanon was last seen in Tere Ishk Mein with Dhanush. Yami Gautam starred in the courtroom drama Haq alongside Emraan Hashmi and Sheeba Chaddha. She is now expected to make a cameo appearance in Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Part 2.
