The famous Hollywood star of Israeli origin, Gal Gadot, will team-up again with her Wonder Women director Patty Jenkins to play the upcoming biopic Cleopatra for Paramount Pictures.

The actor has previously worked with Jenkins on both Wonder Women films, she will portray the life and journey of Cleopatra the last ruler of Egypt’s Ptolemaic Kingdom.

Gadot, who is looking forward to the release of her much-anticipated superhero movie Wonder Woman 1984 directed by Jenkins, said Cleopatra was a story she wanted to tell for a very long time.

“I love embarking on new journeys,I love the excitement of new projects, the thrill of bringing new stories to life.Cleopatra is a story I wanted to tell for a very long time. Can’t be more grateful about this A team!! @PattyJenks @ParamountPics #AtlasEntertainment #LaetaKalogridis,”the actor wrote on Twitter.

However, this announcement of Gadot playing Cleopatra has met with mixed reaction and backlash across social media. Disputes over Cleopatra’s heritage and ancestry have surfaced and parallels are being drawn with Gadot’s heritage and ethnicity. 

Being Israeli with Greek origins, there are those who argue that Gadot is unfit to be playing the role of the Egyptian queen.

Adding to this mess, the casting choice also caused a political debate and dispute as a group of people are angered that an Israeli actress is going to play and Eyptian queen.

Images of the famed queen have been depicted throughout history countless times, however her story is most famously known through dramatic works such as William Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra and the 1963 film Cleopatra starring Elizabeth Taylor.

India’s famous jewelry brand Tanishq released a new advertisement for its promotion during festive season, but people started trolling Tanishq on Twitter as soon as the video surfaced. The reason was the advertisement showing the interfaith marriage of a Hindu girl to a Muslim boy.

The anger of the users was so much that #BoycottTanishq started trending on Twitter. However, after the controversy, Tanishq had removed the video from their YouTube channel.


In the advertisement Tanishq shows a Hindu woman who married into a Muslim family. The Muslim family performs all the rituals according to Hindu culture. In the end, the pregnant woman asks her mother-in-law, “Mother, this ritual does not even happen in your house, is it?” So, her mother-in-law responds, “But the ritual of keeping the daughter happy is in every house, isn’t it?”

The Tanishq has removed their video due to public outrage and trolls on social media. In Twitter, the audience has been describing this as promoting ‘love jihad’ and ‘fake secularism’.

However, company issued a statement saying that- ”the idea behind its integrated campaign was to inspire people, local communities and families from different regions to come together and celebrate during this challenging time. But instead of giving the public a chance to be happy, this advertisement deviated from the original intention. The AD film, contrary to its objective, increased people’s resentment which led to severe reactions”.

Singer-rapper Kanye West unveiled his first presidential campaign video on Monday. The video primarily focused on religion and family.

West had announced her presidential bid in July this year much to the shock of everyone. It is noteworthy that Kanye shares a friendly bond with president and Republic presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Kanye is seen against a black-and-white American flag in the video. The montage also has families praying and helping each other.

“What is America’s destiny? What is best for our nation, our people? What is just, true justice? We have to think about all these things, together as a people,” Kanye says.

“To contemplate our future, to live up to our dream, we must have vision. We as a people will revive our nation’s commitment to faith, to what our Constitution calls ‘the free exercise of religion’, including, of course, prayer. Through prayer, faith can be restored. We as a people are called to a greater purpose than ourselves. We are not only a beacon to the world, but we should be servants to each other, to encourage each other, to help each other, to lift up each other-our fellow Americans, that we may all prosper together.”

“We have to act on faith, with the sure knowledge that we are pursuing the right goals and doing the right things.”

“We will build a stronger country, by building stronger families. Families are the building blocks of society, of a nation. By turning to faith, we will be the kind of nation, the kind of people God intends us to be.”

“I’m Kanye West and I approve this message,” he culminates.

Sidharth, on the other hand, was rooting for Rahul Vaidya and Nishant Singh Malkhani. He said that they both have the capabilites to be in the game.

According to newspaper Dawn of pakistan, ”Pakistan has made little progress in implementing FATF’s technical suggestions to end terror funding and money laundering. Based on this, he has been retained in the enhanced follow up in the APG. This is the first follow up report of Pakistan’s assessment by APG”.


The report said that ”out of 40 recommendations made by the FATF, Pakistan has made progress on only two. In view of the sluggish attitude of the Pak government in fulfilling the recommendations, it has been retained in the enhanced follow up list. However, the report also said that Pakistan has made progress in some cases”.

The FATF review meeting is to be held from October 21 to 23. In this meeting, it will be decided whether to put Pakistan in the blacklist or not.
