Manushi Chhillar Shuts Down Troll Who Mocked Miss World Aspirants Crown Tattoo
New Delhi: In the world of pageantry, symbols often carry deep personal meaning and pride. But when one aspirant recently shared hers online, it unexpectedly became the centre of a social media storm. A social media user sparked controversy after publicly mocking a Miss World aspirant who shared her dream of competing in the Miss World pageant, and as an inspirational reminder, got a tattoo of the Miss World crown on her arm. The user posted a clip of the aspirant and wrote, 'I had to re-watch the video 3-4 times to grasp that THIS girl is aspiring to become a Miss World... Well, then I can become the sun or the moon too", a rather distasteful comment, that quickly gained attention for its dismissive tone and personal nature. However, the negativity didn't go unanswered. Miss World Manushi Chhillar, one of the most respected names in pageantry circles, came to the aspirant's defence, with her trademark graceful yet powerful response. Replying to the troll's post, she penned, 'and that would be better than spending your time belittling someone else'. Manushi's reply was a subtle yet stinging reminder about kindness, confidence, and lifting others rather than tearing them down.

Her response clearly sent a clear message about self-belief and the importance of empowering one another — a core value that the Miss World platform itself represents. Kudos to Manushi, for this much-needed show of support.

Manushi Chhillar reveals what went into making ‘Naamumkin' from ‘Maalik'
Rajkummar Rao will be seen romancing former Miss World Manushi Chillar for the first time in the highly-anticipated drama, 'Maalik'. While movie buffs have already been treated with the primary track from the drama 'Naamumkin', now Manushi has dropped a BTS video on her Instagram handle, revealing what all went behind making the romantic song. The clip opened with the team checking out the location, after which Rajkummar and Manushi filmed a couple of shots for the melodious track. We could also see the choreographers showing the steps to these two before they performed it on screen. As the video moved forward, the 'Stree' actor got the final touches to his makeup and hair, with Manushi also reapplying her lipstick. The director was also seen explaining something to Rajkummar and Manushi in between the shots. The leads had some fun behind the screen, like Rajkummar dancing funnily just before the shot and Manushi winking at the camera white getting her makeup fixed. 'Naamumkin' successfully captures the softer side of a ruthless gangster (Rajkummar) as he falls in love. Composer duo Sachin-Jigar has provided the tunes for the track, whereas the lyrics have been penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Varun Jain and Shreya Ghoshal have lent their powerful voices to 'Naamumkin'. Helmed by Pulkit, 'Maalik' will also have Prosenjit Chatterjee, Medha Shankr, Huma Qureshi, Anshumaan Pushkar, and Swanand Kirkire in pivotal roles, along with others. Backed by Kumar Taurani under the banner of Tips Films, along with Jay Shewakramani of Northern Lights Films, 'Maalik' is slated for a theatrical release on 11th July this year. Last week, Rajkummar and Tips Films took to Instagram, where they shared a poster featuring Manushi as a simpleton standing alongside the National Award-winning actor. Manushi is seen dressed in a soft pink traditional outfit smiling brightly at Rajkummar as the two are gazing into each other's eyes. The actioner, which was earlier scheduled to hit theatres on June 20, will now be released on July 11. In the film, which is currently in post-production, the actor will be seen playing a ruthless gangster. Manushi was last seen on screen in 2024 film 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. Rajkummar's latest release is 'Bhool Chuk Maaf'. The film, which is directed by Karan Sharma, also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Dhanashree Verma, Sanjay Mishra, and Raghubir Yadav. The film is about Ranjan, a starry-eyed romantic from Banaras who finally lands a government job and is ready to marry his childhood sweetheart, Titli. In all the rush towards his happily-ever-after, Ranjan forgets a sacred vow and fate refuses to let it slide. Indo-Asian News Service

‘Vetri Maaran can challenge cuts to film at suitable forum': Madras High Court
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Tuesday said filmmaker Vetri Maaran can approach an appropriate forum if he is aggrieved over the cuts as required by the revision committee of the censor board for certifying his film Manushi. Disposing of the petition filed by the filmmaker against the decision of the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) for denying certification to screen the movie produced by him, Justice N Anand Venkatesh said, 'If the petitioner is aggrieved, he can challenge the decision of the revision committee in the manner known to law.' The counsel for the censor board on Tuesday submitted that the revision committee had reviewed the movie and intimated the petitioners about the required cuts to be made in the movie; and if they do so, certification would be given. Objecting to the cuts, the counsel for the petitioner sought the court to issue appropriate orders. However, the judge added that the legality of the objections raised by the revision committee while denying certification cannot be gone into by the court in this writ petition. Vetri Maaran had filed a petition seeking a direction to the Regional Officer of the CBFC to constitute an expert team to reexamine his movie and issue clearance for its release.

Madras HC closes Vetri Maaran's plea after CBFC provides detailed note on edits in Andrea Jeremiah-starrer 'Manushi'
The Madras High Court has formally concluded a petition filed by Kollywood filmmaker Vetri Maaran concerning the certification of his latest production, Manushi. The court disposed of his plea following fresh submissions from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) during a recent hearing on June 17. About Madras HC's recent order According to Live Law, Justice N. Anand Venkatesh took note of the CBFC's updated response, in which the board, through central government counsel A. Kumaraguru, clarified that specific edits had been proposed for the film. As a result, the court declared the current plea closed. Vetri Maaran had previously approached the court, contending that the CBFC had summarily denied certification to 'Manushi' without offering clear reasons for its decision. Ilaiyaraaja composes for Vetri Maaran's film with Soori & Vijay Sethupathi Vetri Maaran's plea In an earlier hearing on June 4, the High Court directed the CBFC to ensure greater transparency by pinpointing the exact scenes, dialogues, or sequences it found objectionable, rather than issuing a broad rejection. Responding to the court's direction, the board conducted a fresh review and presented a list of proposed cuts.

Madras High Court disposes Vetri Maaran's case after CBFC highlights portions for editing in Tamil movie Manushi
The Madras High Court, on Tuesday (June 17, 2025), disposed of a writ petition filed by film director Vetri Maaran after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) reported that it had reviewed the Tamil movie Manushi, produced by him, as per court orders and listed out the portions that require editing before the grant of censor certificate. Justice N. Anand Venkatesh recorded the submission made by the central government senior panel counsel A. Kumaraguru and closed the writ petition which had been filed against blanket rejection of the censor certificate. Passing interim orders, the judge had on June 4 directed CBFC to list out the objectionable portions. Though the counsel for Mr. Maaran contended that his client had reservations over the CBFC's insistence on editing some of the scenes and dialogues, the judge said, those issues could not be gone into in the present writ petition and that it would be open to the writ petitioner to challenge them in the manner known to law. Mr. Maaran had produced the Andrea Jeremiah-starrer Manushi under his banner titled 'Grassroot Film Company'. Directed by Aramm-fame Gopi Nainar, the film's trailer, released last year, tells the story revolving around the custodial torture faced by a woman suspected to be a terrorist. The CBFC's examining committee as well as screening committee (an appellate body) had refused to recommend issuance of censor certificate for the movie in September 2024 on grounds that it was against the integrity of the State; it had scenes that were contemptuous; it defames government policies; portrays stereotypes leading to a north/south divide; and that it had many scenes that were against the interests of the country. However, after Mr. Maaran approached the court early this month, the judge directed CBFC to specify the visuals, scenes, dialogues and so on that required editing instead of passing a blanket order denying censor certificate for the entire movie.
