    Eijaz Khan & Pavitra Punia: Breakup Rumors Debunked”

    Television actors Pavitra Punia and Eijaz Khan fell in love while in the Bigg Boss 14 house. Although they broke up last September, rumors have been flying around about their split. Recently, Pavitra made it clear that religion was not the reason for their breakup. Eijaz’s spokesperson agreed, saying their relationship was based on love, not religion.

    Eijaz’s family comes from different faiths, and he celebrates many religious festivals. His dad is upset because people have wrongly asked if Eijaz wanted Pavitra to convert to Islam. Eijaz’s family was happy when they were dating, and now it’s hurtful to hear these false claims.

    Eijaz’s spokesperson emphasized that these rumors affect their personal lives and careers. He pointed out that Eijaz has visited temples and celebrated Hindu festivals like Diwali and Ganesh Chaturthi while in a relationship with Pavitra. Both Eijaz and Pavitra have stated that religion was never an issue, but the topic keeps coming up now that they are no longer together.

    In an interview, Pavitra explained how it was important for her that no one should change their religion for a partner. She stated, “If someone cannot stay loyal to their own religion, how can they be loyal to you?”

    Travis Kelce Surprises Taylor Swift with an Epic Birthday Bash!

    Taylor Swift had an unforgettable surprise thanks to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, star of the Kansas City Chiefs. He threw her a party that was full of fun decorations and items from her past music eras. The highlight of the night? A special “22” hat, but this time, it was for Swift herself!

    While many thought the party was for her 35th birthday and the end of her Eras Tour, it turned out to be a surprise “congratulations party” from Travis. Jo-Jo Edwards-Helaire, the wife of Travis’s teammate, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, shared the news on social media.

    The party featured loads of cool surprises for fans of Swift’s music, called Swifties. There were cleaning carts, green capes, and friendship bracelets, as guests dressed in outfits reflecting Swift’s many music eras like Lover and Reputation.

    Swift’s close friend Ashley shared on Instagram how Taylor thought it would be a quiet dinner, only to find out it was a massive surprise with friends and family, along with fun props.

    The story behind the famous “22” hat is that during her Eras Tour, Swift would wow fans by performing her song “22” and give the hats to lucky audience members. Stars like Selena Gomez’s sister and Kobe Bryant’s daughter have been lucky recipients!

    Swift once explained that “22” captures the joyful, carefree feeling of being young and learning about life. She often chose fans with special stories to give the hats to.

    At the surprise party, Kelce playfully gave Swift her own black fedora, turning the tables on her usual tradition. Ashley Avignone shared this sweet moment on Instagram, cheekily captioning it, “And the last 22 hat goes to…”.

    The guest list included Brittany Mahomes, who dazzled in a sparkly silver dress, Patrick Mahomes in a sharp suit, and Lyndsay Bell in a cute pink outfit that fit the Lover era. Ashley showed off a plush snake necklace, which was a nod to Swift’s Reputation album.

He mentioned, “It was a special moment because, for a long time, people wanted me to fail. Some critics and trolls targeted me as an easy victim.”

    Arjun explained that a lot of negative comments about him were related to his family name, his personal life, and the fact that some of his movies didn’t do well at the box office. “Many people thought I didn’t care about my work or want to improve as an actor. This idea got stronger because I faced health issues that I didn’t talk about earlier,” he said. He also mentioned feeling hurt when a review for the movie Kuttey felt like a personal attack.

    In the last few years, Arjun has struggled, as many of his films, like Sardar Ka Grandson and Kuttey, didn’t receive well. However, he made a comeback this year as a villain named Danger Lanka in Singham Again, and things are looking up for him.

  • Justin Bieber Reacts to Selena Gomez’s Engagement News!

    Justin Bieber Reacts to Selena Gomez’s Engagement News!

    Justin Bieber has a wife and a baby, but news about Selena Gomez getting engaged still made him feel a little weird. Fans have loved the “Jelena” couple for years, even after Justin married Hailey Baldwin. Now, Selena’s engagement might finally put that old relationship to rest.

    Recently, Selena surprised everyone by showing off her big engagement ring on Instagram after dating music producer Benny Blanco. This happy moment was shocking for both her fans and Justin and Selena’s fans who were wondering how Justin might react. Some even thought he sent an indirect message to Selena.

    According to a source, even though Justin is happily married, he felt a brief sting when he heard Selena got engaged. Their past is deep, and with both of them moving on, it was a wake-up call that they are all growing older.

    The source said, “Justin is only 30, but he has been through a lot. It’s strange to think that an important part of his life is now completely behind him.” But it added that Justin hopes Selena is happy.

    While Justin hasn’t said anything publicly about the engagement, his wife Hailey posted a heart on Selena’s announcement. People think that Justin hopes this news will finally end fans’ obsession with his relationship with Selena.

    Right after the news broke, Justin shared a sweet picture with Hailey, showing her kissing him on the cheek. He picked the song “All My Ghosts” by Lizzy McAlpine, which has some lyrics that fans think are about Selena. The lyrics mention a wedding, making people wonder if he’s sharing his feelings about Selena’s engagement.

  • Christa McAuliffe: Inspiring Generations Through Education and History”

    Christa McAuliffe: Inspiring Generations Through Education and History”

    CONCORD, N.H. — Before she became an astronaut, Christa McAuliffe was a lively teacher in New England. She loved showing her students how everyday people made a big difference in U.S. history. Nearly 40 years later, a new documentary titled “Christa: From Ordinary to Extraordinary,” made by New Hampshire PBS, looks at how she continues to inspire others, focusing less on what happened to her on the Challenger space shuttle.

    The film features her hometown of Concord, New Hampshire, where she was chosen from over 11,000 applicants to be the first teacher in space. As Governor Chris Sununu says in the documentary, “You say ‘Christa’ in New Hampshire, everyone knows exactly who you’re talking about.”

    This documentary was released just three months after a bronze statue of McAuliffe was unveiled at the Statehouse to honor her on what would have been her 76th birthday. It includes interviews from people in her community and shows joyful memories, like a Main Street parade in her honor and some of her inspiring words to Concord High School seniors in 1985. The film captures the pride locals feel for a teacher who loved learning.

    Christa was 37 when she tragically died in the Challenger explosion on January 28, 1986. The documentary briefly mentions this tragedy. “We all want to be remembered for who we were, not how we died,” says Jeanne Gerulskis, a former director of the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center.

    Teaching History Through Everyday Lives

    Christa taught social studies at Concord High School starting in 1983. She created a special course about the history of American women, which is still taught today. People in the documentary shared how she wanted students to see how regular people, especially women, make history. She loved field trips and had exciting dreams about sharing her experiences from space, saying it felt like being one of the pioneers in American history.

    Holly Merrow, a former student, believes the documentary shows Christa’s spirit of inspiration. She recalls feeling like they were going to space too while learning from her.

    Keeping Her Memory Alive

    The documentary also emphasizes how important it is for kids to learn about Christa McAuliffe. In New Hampshire, students begin learning about government when they turn 9 and often visit the Statehouse. Christa’s statue sits near the entrance, serving as a great starting point for discussions. It is the first new statue there in over a century and the first of a woman.

    At Concord High School, Kimberly Bleier teaches social studies in the same room where McAuliffe once taught. In the film, she talks about the responsibility of keeping Christa’s love for hands-on learning alive. Bleier now teaches a class called “Street Law,” which includes learning about the legal system. She remembers watching the shuttle launch on TV as a sixth-grader and how heartbreaking it was to see it explode. “I want to watch her, I want to hear her,” she says.

    Where to Watch

    The 30-minute documentary can be viewed online at the New Hampshire PBS website, or you can stream it on the PBS App.
