Veteran actor Suresh Oberoi lauds Operation Sindoor, says no

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 19 (ANI): Veteran actor Suresh Oberoi has lauded Operation Sindoor, India's recent military strike against terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
The operation, carried out on May 7, was in response to the April 22 terror attack in the Pahalgam region.
While speaking to ANI, Oberoi praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and expressed his anger towards Pakistan, referring to it as an 'enemy nation.'
'You are calling the country (Pakistan) our neighbor, but I would call it our enemy nation... Should we call it a terrorist nation? Hats off to Modi ji for doing what he had promised. The women who have lost their husbands in the (Pahalgam) attack should be given a lot of respect for the sacrifice they have made for this nation... This is not a ceasefire, but just a pause,' said the actor.
The actor also shared that he does not want any Pakistani artists or sports matches to be allowed in the country. He said, 'I don't want any singer, actor, or any Pakistani to be here, even for a cricket match. We should be ashamed of calling them.'
Meanwhile, the film 'Abir Gulaal,' which stars Indian actress Vaani Kapoor and Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, was not released in India as planned on May 9, 2025. It was said to be a comeback project after a hiatus of nearly nine years. Khan, a Pakistani national, was previously banned from working in India following the 2016 Uri attack. His last Bollywood appearance was in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016).
Following Operation Sindoor, the Indian Armed Forces also effectively responded to subsequent Pakistani aggression and pounded its airbases. Operation Sindoor killed over 100 terrorists. (ANI)

Aerial yoga is the best form of workout and relaxation: Netri Trivedi

Netri Trivedi joins us for a shoot For Netri Trivedi , yoga 'helped me to overcome a tough phase of my life last year.' On International Day of Yoga, the actress, who recently completed shooting for Chaniya Toli, joined us for a shoot. She says, 'I would exercise in the gym before, but found it aggressive as a workout. Yoga is a more balanced and relaxing workout which helps me maintain my fitness and ensures good mental health.' Excerpts: ' Aerial Savasana is my favourite' I have been doing yoga for a while and I find aerial yoga fascinating. Two years ago, I started doing aerial yoga and it has been the best form of workout and relaxation. It also made me realise that there are so many asanas within aerial yoga. I enjoy doing asanas like aerial Surya Namaskar, but aerial Savasana is my favourite. Aerial yoga's antigravity nature helps you gain balance and posture while maintaining fitness. When you start getting older, your knees aren't able to carry your weight. But through aerial yoga, you learn how to hold yourself and allow your body to carry it. 'Today, I owe my mental and physical stability to yoga' Last year was difficult, with a lot of ups and downs in my life. But I didn't miss doing yoga for a single day, and it helped me overcome the struggles and anxiety. It would make me feel productive and release endorphins. There were many instances when I felt anxious, but doing some stretches would uplift my mood, sometimes even through tears. I owe a lot of my mental and physical stability to yoga today. 'Yoga is a 360-degree workout' Netri says, 'Today, life is unpredictable, and with the kind of lifestyle and diet we have, we see health scares even at a young age. Everyone should work out in whatever capacity they can. If one gives priority to their fitness for just one year, they will realise how everything changes for them.' She adds, 'Yoga, an Indian practice, is a 360-degree workout. We see people in the west and across the world practising yoga, so why can't we do that too? It relaxes your soul and benefits your mental health.' Netri adds, "Even if we take a break from doing yoga every day, it doesn't adversely affect your body with sudden weight gain, like it happens with gym workouts. It is very helpful for artistes, who have to take breaks often due to shoot schedules. In March this year, I was unwell for a month while I was shooting for two projects. It made me realise that health is everything for us today. I had stopped doing yoga due to my hectic shoot schedules, but I am back to it now. "

Amit Shah a disgrace to the post once held by Sardar Patel: Jairam Ramesh

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh on Friday launched a direct attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah, accusing him of failing to "bring the terrorists who carried out the brutal terror attacks in Pahalgam to justice," and restoring peace in Manipur. "Amit Shah is a disgrace to the position once held by the indomitable Sardar," claimed Ramesh. "The Union Home Minister has failed singularly in bringing the terrorists who carried out the brutal terror attacks in Pahalgam to justice. These terrorists had reportedly also been involved in terror attacks at Poonch (Dec 2023) and at Gagangir and Gulmarg (Oct 2024)," his post said. "The Union Home Minister has failed miserably to restore even a semblance of peace and normalcy in Manipur. All that he has accomplished is to provide guaranteed employment to his son. Now the Union Home Minister makes the most ridiculous of statements. Millions of Indians each speak more Indian languages - in addition to English - than him. He is a disgrace to the position once held by the indomitable Sardar," said the post from Ramesh. Ramesh called the visit a "publicity-driven exercise" that fails to address the ground realities of the state. "The advertisement-loving Prime Minister is once again on a tour of matter how many fake announcements the Prime Minister makes, no matter how many ribbons he cuts for free advertising, the truth is that the double engine government in Bihar has completely failed to meet the expectations of the common people," his post read. "In Bihar, oppression against the deprived classes is at its peak, the law and order situation is extremely bad, criminals have become unbridled and the common citizens are helpless. Every day there are reports of murder, robbery and violence against youth do not have any employment in the state and they are forced to migrate from Bihar," he said. "During this visit, the Prime Minister will also express his electoral concern about the pollution of Mother Ganga .But the truth is that in the last 11 years, 'Ganga cleansing' has become just an election slogan, which is suddenly remembered before every election. Not only in Bihar, Mother Ganga has become more polluted than before in the entire country. Most of the schemes launched in the name of Ganga cleanliness campaign have proved to be a black hole of corruption-After the foundation stone laying, inauguration and heavy publicity, neither any work is visible nor any concrete National Green Tribunal (NGT) itself is exposing the terrible condition of Ganga pollution in Patna and Bihar," added Ramesh.

Prosenjit Chatterjee supports Aamir Khan's cinema-only release for ‘Sitaare Zameen Par': Aamir can take risk

Aamir Khan 's much-awaited film Sitaare Zameen Par hit theatres on June 20, and in a bold move, the superstar has chosen to release it exclusively in cinemas, skipping an OTT release entirely. This decision has sparked mixed reactions in the industry. In an interview with actor Prosenjit Chatterjee shared his thoughts on Aamir's choice. He acknowledged that while such changes are necessary in today's evolving film landscape, it takes someone with Aamir's experience and understanding of cinema to confidently take that kind of risk. Prosenjit Chatterjee on Aamir Khan's Bold Move Prosenjit Chatterjee said that Aamir Khan's decision to release 'Sitaare Zameen Par' only in theatres is a bold step. He believes that while this may not change everything right away, it's important that someone takes the first step. He also said there's no good or bad way to release a film, what matters is trying something new. "I remember long back when content would be sold to CD companies, and it paid producers handsomely. However, after a year or two, I realised that the CDs were already in the market in a few days, and the theatre business was getting affected. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo So I called up all the producers for a meeting and we jointly decided that while the rights would be sold off, we need to have a gap of a good 9-12 weeks. All producers came together, and things changed to a certain level," the Bengali actor said. Chatterjee Sees a Similar Trend from the Past Chatterjee mentioned that he had seen a similar pattern in the past when films first started premiering on television. "In three or four weeks, they would start playing Bengali and even Hindi films on television. So, we stopped that and said let's give it after eight weeks. To save the theatrical business and cinema, he (Aamir Khan) is a person who can think this way or take this kind of risk. Nothing will change, a film will come on OTT and then on satellite television. That's how it works, that's how we reach our Indian audiences. But let's see how this goes (Sitaare Zameen Par's only-cinema model), and I hope it works." Aamir Khan Returns with a Heartwarming Film Marking his comeback after three years, Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has received a warm response from both critics and audiences. Directed by RS Prasanna and also starring Genelia Deshmukh , the film is seen as a spiritual sequel to 'Taare Zameen Par', focusing on a heartfelt story involving children. SRK and Salman Show Support at the Premiere On June 19, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan joined Aamir Khan at the film's premiere. The two superstars were seen warmly interacting with the young cast members, fondly called the 'sitaare', making the evening even more special.
