Suchitra Krishnamoorthi faces backlash for claiming Air India crash survivor was ‘LYING'; Deletes post and issues apology
Actor and singer
Suchitra Krishnamoorthi
stirred quite the controversy this week after she claimed that Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the tragic
Air India
plane crash in Ahmedabad was 'lying' about his ordeal.
Amidst mounting criticism of her harsh tweet questioning the authenticity and the mental stability of the lone survivor, she deleted the post and has now issued a public apology.
In a new post on her handle, she wrote, 'Took out my last tweet on the Air India crash survivor. Seems to be false news circulated for God knows what reason. My apologies.'
The apology comes just days after Krishnamoorthi, in a now-deleted post on her X (Twitter) handle, accused Ramesh of fabricating his story about surviving the crash.
She went on to say that the man "Deserve (sic) not only some serious punishment but some mental asylum time if this is true."
However, she soon faced public backlash with netizens calling out her allegations as baseless social media rumours. Defending the sole survivor of the crash, netizens pointed out that Vishwas's identity and survival had been officially verified by the Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad.
Despite the apology, many took to the comments section to raise concern over the spread of misinformation and the duty of public figures to weigh their words on social media, particularly in the wake of national tragedies.

According to the latest reports, Vishwas was discharged from the hospital just days ago, a week after surviving the June 12 crash that claimed the lives of at least 260 people. His brother Ajay, who was also on the flight, tragically did not survive. Upon his discharge, he was seen performing his brother's last rite rituals earlier this week.

Sitaare Zameen Par Twitter Review: Is Aamir Khan's sports comedy-drama Hit or Flop? Read these 9 tweets to know
Sitaare Zameen Par starring Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh in the lead is now running in cinemas. The sports comedy-drama has been among the highly anticipated Bollywood films for a long time, and since its release, social media has been flooded with reactions from fans. Take a look at these 9 tweets from X users to decide whether the film is a Hit or a Flop. A fan took to the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter and shared how the film is beyond the rating system. "#SitaareZameenParReview This film is more than just about "stars" 1 2 34 5 stars can't measure it. You can't judge the heart and effort of those special kids and #AamirKhan It's emotional, powerful & truly special. #SitaareZameenPar is a must-watch! Must watch. That's it," read the tweet. An admirer who watched the film along with their mother shared the emotional experience through a heart-touching note. "#SitaareZameenPar touches you, makes you question the way you think. It makes you laugh out loud, makes your eyes well up & gives you hope. It's incredibly reassuring that a superstar like #AamirKhan would put his time, money & face to make something that's this bold & risky," read a part of the review. The fan also wrote how it's the ray of sunshine that everyone badly needs. Sharing the emotional reaction of their mother after watching the film, the X user wrote, "Mom was so moved, she wanted to record this then & there." Take a look at more reactions below: Overall, the film has got a thumbs up from the initial audience on social media as a large section of the netizens seem to have liked it. Meanwhile, Sitaare Zameen Par recorded an advance booking of 46,000 tickets in national multiplexes, which is underwhelming. The film will rely on positive word of mouth to record a healthy lifetime number. The growth in collections on Saturday and Sunday will shape the fate of the movie. Sitaare Zameen Par marks the return of Aamir Khan at the box office 3 years after his Laal Singh Chaddha which also featured Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead.

Diana Penty opens up on ‘Chhaava' success, says 'I'm a huge critic of my own work'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actor Diana Penty , who portrayed Mughal princess Zinat-un-Nissa Begum in the blockbuster 'Chhaava', says she welcomes both praise and criticism. The historical action drama, which stars Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, grossed over Rs 600 crore at the Indian box office, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. Despite its commercial success, 'Chhaava' also attracted backlash for its portrayal of certain historical events. "I'm a huge critic of my own work' Speaking about the mixed reactions, Diana told PTI, 'It's important to have both sides so that actors or makers can do better next time. I'm a huge critic of my own work.' 02:37 Detective Sherdil Trailer: Diljit Dosanjh, Diana Penty, Boman Irani, Chunky Panday and Banita Sandhu Starrer Detective Sherdil Official Trailer Diana Penty revealed that her role required minimal dialogue, which was a new challenge for her. 'There was so much power in the silences, and that's not easy to do,' she said. The actor focused on expressing emotions through subtle gestures and internalized feelings—something she hadn't done before. While some praised her nuanced portrayal, others were less convinced. Still, she found the experience enriching: 'I looked at the positive side of it.'

On the other hand, Diana Penty also played a pivotal role in 'Azaad' which earned a decent 3 star rating from ETimes with our official review reading, "'Azaad' struggles to maintain consistent tension. The film underutilizes the potential of depicting the British officers' brutality, which could have heightened audience investment in Govind's climactic horse-riding challenge. Director Abhishek Kapoor's restrained approach results in a film that feels partially realized, missing its full potential. While 'Azaad' has moments of grandeur, it is overshadowed by an overall lack of emotional and narrative payoff. It is a grand spectacle with noble intentions but leaves a muted impression."
