Stirring a controversy

Have you heard? Shweta Tiwari under fire for her statement at a promotional event

Shweta Tiwari

In a viral clip from the event in Bhopal, which was attended by co-stars Rohit Bose Roy, Digangana Suryavanshi, Kanwaljit Singh and Sourabh Raaj Jain, Tiwari quips, “Mere bra ka size Bhagwan le rahe hai.” Shweta Tiwari was, in jest, referring to Jain, who played Lord Krishna in Mahabharat, and features as a lingerie salesperson in the digital show Showstopper. A section of netizens were not amused by Tiwari’s joke and slammed her for talking about God while referring to her inner-wear. Madhya Pradesh home minister Narottam Mishra has reportedly directed the police to investigate the remark and submit a report. “I have heard it and I strongly condemn it. I have directed the Bhopal police commissioner to probe it. After that, we will see what action can be taken,” Mishra said.


Happily ever after


Mouni Roy


On Thursday, Mouni Roy tied the knot with beau Suraj Nambiar in a traditional south Indian ceremony. The destination wedding at a Goa hotel began with the haldi and mehendi on Republic Day. The actor’s colleagues,  including Mandira Bedi, Arjun Bijlani, Aashka Goradia and Aamna Sharif were present. “I found him at last... hand-in-hand, blessed by family and friends , we are married. Need your love and blessings,” Roy wrote while sharing snapshots from the festivities on Instagram. Nambiar is a Dubai-based entrepreneur. He posted, “I married my best friend and the love of my life. Feel like the luckiest man alive.”

A case of copyright infringement

Upen Patel, Natasha Fernandez and Shiv Darshan

Filmmaker Suneel Darshan has complained against Google CEO Sundar Pichai. He claims that his 2017 romantic drama, Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deewana Tha, starring Upen Patel, Shiv Darshan and Natasha Fernandez, has landed on YouTube illegally. Due to the millions of views on  Google’s online video sharing platform, he is not making money from it. Darshan alleges that as Google refused to take the movie off, he filed a case at the MIDC police station.

Name matters

Madhuri Dixit-Nene

The makers of Madhuri Dixit-Nene’s web series, Finding Anamika, have done a rethink about the title. It is now called The Fame Game. On Thursday, the show’s poster was unveiled along with the announcement that it drops on Netflix on February 25. Karan Johar’s production sees Dixit play a superstar in the drama, which marks her digital debut. Helmed by Bejoy Nambiar and Karishma Kohli, The Fame Game also features Sanjay Kapoor, Manav Kaul, Lakshvir Saran, Suhasini Muley and Muskkaan Jaferi. 

Denial mode

Nagarjuna

Nagarjuna is furious about the news doing the rounds that son Naga Chaitanya “accepted” Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s decision to go for a divorce and “was worried about the family’s reputation.” The veteran Telugu actor called the remarks attributed to him “fake”. He posted, “My statements about Samantha and Naga Chaitanya in the social/electronic media are nonsense”. Ever since the couple split last year, there has been buzz about what went wrong between them.

Straddling different genres

Arjun Kapoor

Arjun Kapoor will be seen flexing his muscles in Ek Villain Returns and showcasing his acting mettle in Kuttey and The Ladykiller. “For the longest time, I wanted to explore diverse genres,” he says. Kapoor feels that what bolstered the confidence of storytellers was his performance in Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (2021) “as he went out of his comfort zone.” 

Heartbreak for Huma?

 Huma Qureshi

Though she did not divulge details, Huma Qureshi appears to be going through an emotional upheaval. The actor shared posts that revealed her state of mind in a series of Instagram Stories. Qureshi wrote, “Stuck in a never-ending world of lies.” She later added, “Or cheats if you want to call them.” She ended her emotional outpouring by stating that she is “just tired from all this.” A section of netizens wondered what had gone wrong and sent her love and strength. Qureshi is rumoured to be in a relationship with Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019) director Mudassar Aziz, but the two have not spoken about their relationship.
