Last month, Ranveer Allahbadia stirred up a lot of trouble after making inappropriate jokes during a YouTube episode of India’s Got Latent. Many people criticized him on social media for saying things that were offensive and disrespectful to women. A few days later, he apologized with a video message.

On Friday, Ranveer and his co-host Apoorva Mukhija met with the National Commission for Women (NCW) to discuss their actions. They spent hours being questioned and ended up submitting written apologies.

Ranveer promised the NCW that he would be mindful of his words in the future. He said, “This is the first and last time I will make such a mistake. From now on, I’ll choose my words carefully and show respect toward women.” Vijaya Rahatkar, the chairperson of the panel, also stressed that the NCW does not accept the use of inappropriate language, saying, “Such remarks are simply not acceptable.”

The controversy started during a member-only episode of India’s Got Latent, where Ranveer asked a contestant a shocking question: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”

Earlier, he shared a video apology on social media where he admitted, “I shouldn’t have said what I did on India’s Got Latent. I’m really sorry. My comment was not just inappropriate—it wasn’t even funny. Comedy isn’t my strong suit. I’m here to apologize for the way I used my platform. I had a lapse in judgment, and it was not cool.”

Actor Abhishek Bachchan, who acted in the serious movie “I Want To Talk,” will soon appear in a fun film called “Be Happy.” His famous father, Amitabh Bachchan, is really proud of his son’s talent.

Fans have also been noticing Abhishek’s work. One person mentioned that he skillfully switched from a serious role to a comedic one. Amitabh agreed, saying Abhishek changes effortlessly. Another fan praised his look and class after winning a Stylish Award, and Amitabh replied, “You are the best, Bhaiyu.”

In response to a fan discussing the negativity about nepotism surrounding Abhishek, Amitabh stated, “I feel the same, and I say that not just because I’m his father.”

Abhishek’s last film was “I Want To Talk,” which came out on November 22 last year, and “Be Happy” will be available on Amazon Prime Video next week.

Actress Neetu Chandra is speaking out against rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh because of his new song, “Maniac.” She believes it shows women as sex objects and thinks it should be banned. To make her point, she has filed a public interest litigation (PIL) in the Patna High Court.

Neetu’s PIL also mentions the other artists who worked with Honey Singh on the song, including lyricist Leo Grewal and Bhojpuri singers Ragini Vishwakarma and Arjun Ajanabi. The court is expected to hear the case later this month.

In her PIL, Neetu says, “Women should never be treated as objects because disrespecting them can lead to serious problems.”

Neetu, who has appeared in movies like “Garam Masala” and “Traffic Signal,” wants Honey Singh to change the lyrics of his song. She argues that it shows women in a very inappropriate way and that it normalizes vulgarity in Bhojpuri language, which goes against the idea of women’s empowerment.

In an interview with India TV, Neetu expressed her concerns. She said, “Vulgar songs are making it hard for girls and women in Bihar to feel safe when they go to school or college. They often have to walk with their heads down. Because of these songs, many women don’t even want to watch TV at home. Some singers get famous by making such songs, but it makes it difficult for our society to grow.”

She added, “If the government can stop alcohol to protect women from drunk husbands, then why not stop these vulgar songs for girls and women? I want a complete ban on these songs in Bihar.”

Honey Singh’s song “Maniac,” featuring Esha Gupta, was released on February 22 and has already gained over 7 crore views on YouTube.

Parineeti and Raghav got married on September 24, 2023, in a beautiful ceremony at Leela Palace Hotel in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Their wedding was attended by many celebrities and important politicians.

Before the Partition of India in 1947, Lahore and Calcutta were the hotspots for movies in India, followed by Bombay. After 1947, Bombay became Bollywood’s main city and saw a huge boom in films. Calcutta kept making Bengali movies, but Lahore’s film industry slowed down. Recently, there have been efforts to bring back Lahore’s film scene, and the Pakistani film industry has been growing. With bigger markets and a larger audience around the world, films are making more money, making stars richer too. Some Pakistani film stars are now wealthier than their Bollywood counterparts!

Pakistan’s Richest Actor

According to various reports, Humayun Saeed is the richest actor in Pakistan today, with a net worth of about $50 million (PKR 1380 crore or INR 435 crore). This makes him richer than famous Pakistani stars like Fawad Khan ($5 million), Mahira Khan ($7 million), Maya Ali ($15 million), and Shaan Shahid ($20 million).

Saeed vs. Bollywood Stars

Humayun Saeed is often called the ‘Shah Rukh Khan of Pakistan’ because like Shah Rukh, he is the wealthiest actor in his country. Even though his $50 million is much less than Shah Rukh Khan’s $770 million, he surpasses many Bollywood stars. For example, actors like Ranbir Kapoor ($40 million), Prabhas ($35 million), and even Rajinikanth ($48 million) are not as rich as Humayun Saeed!

How Humayun Saeed Earned His Wealth

So, how did Humayun Saeed become so successful? He earns a lot from his acting roles, but that’s not his only source of income. He is also a film producer and started his own company called Six Sigma Plus Productions. Plus, he’s one of the few Pakistani actors to make it in the West. His role as Hasnat Khan in Netflix’s The Crown has helped him gain more recognition and earn even more money than his peers!

Liam Payne’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, opened up about how hard it can be to get out of bed after losing her partner. Liam, who was a member of One Direction, sadly passed away in October last year at just 31 years old when he fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina.

In a recent interview on the ITV talk show, Lorraine, Kate spoke about Liam’s openness regarding mental health. She is now involved in the March4March mental health campaign to help those who need support, especially since Liam can no longer do it himself.

Kate shared, “Liam guided me to this campaign. I’m on my own healing journey, and some days getting out of bed feels really tough. But I have my dog, Nala, who needs me, so I try to take her for a walk, even if it’s just for five or twenty minutes. It helps clear my mind instead of staying in bed scrolling through social media.”

Kate became emotional as she talked about how she’s still learning to accept that Liam is gone. “It’s hard for me to talk about him in the past tense. It hurts. I have tough days, but I am lucky to have a great support system around me,” she said.

She described Liam as “one of a kind,” saying he could make anyone smile. “He had a special sense of humor that made everything better. His warm presence is something I’ll always hold onto.”

Kate also hopes to help others feel less alone in their grief and healing process. She was drawn to the number four in the campaign, which means a lot to her and Liam. “It’s our angel number that symbolizes support and guidance,” she explained.

Just before Liam’s tragic death, Kate had been in Argentina with him but returned to America beforehand. At the Brit Awards, Liam was remembered fondly, with his family wanting privacy during this tough time.

Recently, a court in Argentina dismissed charges against some people related to Liam’s death. Kate had been with Liam since 2022 and mentioned that he once wrote her a note about wanting to propose. She joined his family and friends for his private funeral.

Liam often spoke about his mental health struggles and his fight with alcoholism during his time with One Direction. He had previously discussed hitting “rock bottom” and shared his journey towards sobriety. In 2023, he revealed he was almost six months sober after staying in a rehab facility for nearly 100 days.

Aditi Tatkare thanked Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and other leaders for attending the screening. She expressed that the movie honors Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s struggles for Swarajya (self-rule).

Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar praised “Chhaava,” calling it “really good” and encouraging more films about history. He wants young people to learn about their heritage through movies.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also shared his thoughts, saying, “This movie shows the bravery and intelligence of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. His struggle and sacrifice for our freedom are now visible to the public. Congratulations to everyone involved!”
