Hello @kritisanon,
1. Don't play the woman card. You were not criticized for your gender, but for your choice of clothes in an ad. You are bringing gender into this to make it a women's issue and seek wider support from women and male feminists. It's not a gender issue. Even Ranveer Singh was criticized on Twitter for a nude photoshoot. He didn't play the gender card.
2. Personal choice stops where public commercialization begins. What you wear off-camera is entirely your prerogative. You've been in this business for years. Until now, nobody bothered you about your choice of clothes. You know why? Because nobody actually cares what you wear. The outrage here comes from a commercial choice: sexualizing a deeply sacred festival celebrated by millions. Context dictates appropriateness. If a male actor appeared bare-chested while portraying the brother in that exact scene, the public pushback would be identical. The issue is sacredness and context, not gender.
3. Claiming "clothes don't define culture" directly contradicts human history. Attire is a foundational visual language of every global tradition, you cannot wear a Kimono and call it Indian ethnic wear, nor can you strip a festival of its sacred aesthetic without altering its significance. If attire truly has zero bearing on cultural respect, then tomorrow is Eid. Can you wear that exact same outfit you wore in that ad and wish Eid Mubarak? You said clothes don't define the respect you have for culture in your heart. So do it and we'll take our criticism back.
Respecting a tradition means honoring its context, not commodifying it under the guise of fashion.
Udupi Swaad Restaurant's license was suspended by the FDA so they went to the Bombay High Court for relief.
Judges: You were using banned analogue paneer.
Restaurant: But they suspended our license without issuing any improvement notice.
Judges: You didn't mention on the menu that you were not using real paneer. You are making people eat something rotten by making them believe it is paneer, and you are saying that an improvement notice should have been given to you?
Restaurant: Sorry. We will not use analogue paneer again.
Judges: You need to suffer for some time. You are making people suffer by using analogue paneer without declaring it. Now, you just suffer for some time.
Restaurant: Please, we have suffered a loss of revenue and reputation.
Judge: So what? Wait for the FDA to file a reply. Next hearing on September 7.
Relief denied.

Her name is Nikita Singhania.
She is currently working as an AI and Machine Learning Specialist at Accenture.
Her husband Atul Subhash died on December 9 2024. He left a 24 page note and an 81 minute video. He named her. He named her mother. He named her brother. He documented 9 cases, 120 court hearings, 4 years of his life destroyed.
She was arrested. She got bail.
She went back to work.
Today she sits in an Accenture office running AI models while Atul’s parents in Bihar have not seen their grandson in years.
While Atul’s brother Bikas goes to court alone every single time.
While Atul’s ashes wait for justice.
Accenture knows who she is. They have not acted.
India forgot. Accenture forgot.
That is how this system works.
We have not forgotten.
Shocking Nashik Corporate Jihad Case More Revelations
TCS BPO Nashik had 300 employees
Only 40 were Muslim
These 40 had a separate WhatsApp group where they openly planned how to target the next Hindu girl.
One hindu girl was trapped by 3 boys together.
They took hindu girl to water park for a “picnic”, clicked her photos in wet clothes, forced physical relations, then blackmailed her for continuous sexual exploitation + religious conversion.
This is not an isolated incident, It looks like a dangerous mindset and belief system at work.
Top IT companies must immediately audit if they are following POSH Act guidelines and providing a safe workplace for hindu women
Government should order urgent audits of such companies 🙏🏻
The #Dhurandhar2 isn’t just smashing box office records , but it is actually NUCLEAR BOMBING the very FOUNDATION of what we thought INDIAN CINEMA is .. And it would be an ABSOLUTE UNFORGIVABLE STUPIDITY to get BLINDED by just those THUNDEROUS COLLECTIONS alone , and MISS the real DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE @AdityaDharFilms has created and moved the goal post from INDIAN CINEMA IS to INDIAN CINEMA WAS .
More than the shocking TWISTS in the story , what was even more SHOCKING were the unthinkable TWISTS in the very STRUCTURE of CINEMA being followed ever since the MOVIE CAMERA was invented
My creations , inspired from the likes of GODFATHER whether it is SHIVA , SATYA, COMPANY or SARKAR , were 4 RAW, UNFLINCHING MIRRORS to the BRUTAL REALISM of CRIME ORGANISATIONS and INTRINSIC POWER PLAYS at high places etc and @AdityaDharFilms studied them and others works like a SCIENTIST, extracted their HEARTS, multiplied their DNA by a 100 , and then injected HIGH OCTANE ROCKET FUEL called PATRIOTISM and mixed it with a huge dose of ACIDIC GEOPOLITICS and further added dollops of TERRORISM and ESPIONAGE in addition to INTELLIGENCE WARFARE all poured into a BEAUTIFUL jar to make a TOXIC CONCOCTION of BETRAYAL AND LOYALTY laced with HEART WRENCHING HUMAN VALUES ..And it is the LAVA of that VOLCANIC MIXTURE is what is making THE TECTONIC PLATES of the FILM INDUSTRY TREMBLE in it’s PANTS
My 4 films are SCHOOL BOY’S ESSAYS compared to @AdithyaDharFilms SCIENCE THESIS OF the NEW AGE of FUTURE CINEMA
Any filmmaker including me , if he still clings to scripts written before March 19th 2026 without asking himself the brutal question “Is this better or even anywhere near to the new benchmark set by Dhurandhar 2 ? will be a SUPREME IDIOT WALKING STRAIGHT INTO OBLIVION
#Dhurandhar2 is not just a GAME CHANGER .. it just BURNED THE ENTIRE FUCKING RULEBOOK on which we were making films
So here’s my RAW ADVISE to every director out there (MOST OF ALL MYSELF)
Throw the old drafts of your scripts, whatever has been written before March 19 th 2026 into the #dhurandhar fire and
let’s all RUN BACK to the drawing board right now. SEE YOU THERE ! 💪🔥💐

On behalf of INDIAN CINEMA’S FUTURE , Thank you @AdityaDharFilms , for showing us what CINEMA could be , and SHOULD BE 🙏🙏🙏
Odisha is no stranger to India’s tourism circuit.
From the timeless Konark & Jagannath Temples, to the sands of Puri Beach and the vastness of Chilika Lake.
But it seems that if you venture deeper into the state you discover landscapes that are every bit as spectacular.
Duduma Falls in Koraput district where the Machkund River plunges dramatically off a rocky cliff is one such marvel.
It’s a reminder that India’s beauty is inexhaustible. Just when you think you’ve seen it all… another wonder appears.

A 1 crore earning techie's life has no value in Bengaluru.
And if you're not earning that much? Your life has even less.
My sister and her friend were driving home in my car. They stopped at a red light - the logical thing anyone does. A drunk driver in a mini-truck didn't feel the need to stop. He slammed into them instead.
I know he was drunk. She knows it. The highway police knows it. The truck owner knows it.
No arrest was made.
The truck driver never showed up at the station. The owner never showed up. Nobody cared. My sister and her friend - both injured, both terrified - kept going back to the station, back to the accident site, explaining what happened over and over, just trying to get a report filed.
I was in the US. All I could do was talk to them on calls, helpless.
Here's what the police told them:
"If nobody died, an FIR doesn't make sense."
"Just claim first party insurance."
"Third party insurance doesn't pay much anyway."
And then, quietly, one officer pulled them aside and told the truth: "These truck mafia bribe us. Nothing will happen."
Nothing happened.
The truck was KA04 AE6550. The police themselves said if they'd been on a two-wheeler, both would be dead.
We had 100% insurance from Reliance. Claim rejected. Reason? "Misrepresentation of facts." These two, even while injured, kept showing up to represent the facts. Reliance still found a way to deny them.
The law says if someone hits you from behind, the person behind is at fault. It was a red light. How does a truck driver not see that?
Trust me, this isn't about money. I'll manage the repairs and the medical bills. I have savings. And I have a decent credit score; I'll take a personal loan if I have to. That's not the point.
The point is this: my sister is afraid now. Afraid that anything can happen to her at any moment and there's no one - no system, no law, no institution - that will protect her.
But how do I tell her the world is supposed to be fair? How do I tell her to trust the system? How do I explain that the drunk driver walks free, the truck owner was never questioned, and the police pocketed their bribe and closed the file?
I can't say to any official, "What if this was your daughter? Your sister?" Because their daughters travel in cars with security escorts. They will never know what it feels like to be ordinary and unprotected.
So I'm saying it to you, an ordinary reader.
You're on the road. You stop at a red light. A drunk driver in a truck rear-ends your car. Your loved one is inside, terrified.
And then you learn: there is no recourse. None.
The truck owner pays off the cops. The insurance company rejects your claim. The system shrugs.
This is Bengaluru in 2025. This is India in 2025. This is what your life is worth here.
One more thing. The friend in the car? He's one of the smartest people I know. close to top 100 rank in IIT-JEE. AI engineer and one of the biggest data companies. At 23, he is valuable to be paid more annually than the cost of five such trucks, that too, in India. He's patriotic. He pays his taxes. He stays in India even though he constantly gets offers to move to the US.
This is the confidence our system gives to someone who is clearly an asset to this country. All this unfairness - for a drunk truck driver.
@blrcitytraffic@BlrCityPolice - tell me. I've always avoided raising fingers publicly. But what else can I do?
Look at this video shared by a flier from Bhubaneswar Airport.
The space crunch so bad that passengers are sitting on the floor. Even the planned expansion won’t be enough to handle the huge surge.
The Puri Intl Airport project must be expedited to share the load.
Construction dust everywhere.
Loose soil all over the roads, turning into dust clouds and choking the air.
But the focus is on PUC checks, because that’s where the money comes from.
Road dust and construction debris can’t be monetized, so they’re conveniently ignored.
And this is what we call pollution control.
He’s Nityanand Nayak, Divisional Forest Officer at Keonjhar, Odisha. He now holds the national record for a govt official caught with the highest number of homestead plots, that’s 115.
The previous record was held by another Keonjhar official, Pravas Pradhan, who was caught with 105 plots in August 2024.
Nayak started as a Group B officer and worked his way up to become Group A in 23 years. Modest middle-class salary, but that hardship couldn’t stop him from breaking the national record. Nayak also owns a four-storey luxury building of 9,000 sqft, luxury cars, jewellery and much more in cash and deposits.
Tech bros with 30 LPA can’t afford even one plot in their lifetime without a loan, and here a modest govt official could afford 115 with an even smaller salary. Deshbhakti aur samaaj seva ka jazba ho to aadmi kya nahi kar sakta.
Date European men in your 20s, and marry financially stable Indian men when you get bored of them.
Peak feminism. Again, what is the currency of South Africa?
This is just so wrong @Tejasvi_Surya
You're a people's representative, not Kannada representative. There are people speaking in Kannada over there as evident in video but this customer is creating scene unnecessarily. Banking is a transferable job. How can someone posted there from outside learn Kannada? How many languages will people have to learn then ? A translator can be requested if someone can't speak anything but native language but on what account are u asking for action against the officer?
@airtelindia@Airtel_Presence what is wrong with you? I have the existing base plan of 299 and an international roaming pack activated with 98. Still I am not able to use Airtel services. It is showing no roaming pack in Airtel thanks app. Please look into this issue urgently.
