Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Tiger Shroff land in legal trouble

February 25, 2025 by Areej Afzal

A complaint has been filed against Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn.
Their endorsement of a cardamom brand has sparked controversy.
The complaint was lodged in Kota’s CDRC.

A legal complaint has been filed against Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Tiger Shroff for endorsing a popular elaichi (cardamom) brand that has sparked controversy.

According to Indian media reports, the complaint was lodged in Kota’s Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission by Inder Mohan Singh Hani, who alleges that the advertisement misleads consumers, particularly the youth. The actors’ association with the pan masala brand and its tagline “Bolo Zubaan Kesari” has drawn legal scrutiny.

The complainant argues that the advertisement falsely claims the product contains saffron without any supporting proof. “As role models, these actors are misleading young people by endorsing a product that provides false information,” Hani stated. Additionally, he highlighted that the statutory warning on the packaging is written in extremely small text, making it nearly impossible to read.

Hani is demanding an immediate ban on the advertisement and a fine on both the actors and the company. Following the complaint, the commission has issued notices to Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, Tiger Shroff, and the manufacturer, summoning them to court.

Earlier, Akshay Kumar also featured in the campaign but later stepped away after facing backlash. So far, no official response has been issued by the actors or the brand.

February 25, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Bollywood singer Udit Narayan has landed in a new controversy.
His first wife has filed a maintenance case against him.
Jha has alleged that Narayan has taken over her property.

Bollywood playback singer Udit Narayan has landed in new controversy as his first wife, Ranjana Jha, has filed a maintenance case against him, accusing him of violating her rights.

According to Indian media reports, Jha has alleged that Narayan has taken over her property and failed to provide the agreed maintenance. However, during a recent hearing at the Supaul Family Court, the singer dismissed the claims, stating that Jha was trying to extort money from him.

Reports suggest that Narayan has already given Jha a house worth INR 1 crore, a piece of land, and jewelry worth INR 25 lacs. Additionally, he had been providing her with INR 1,50,000 per month, which was later increased to INR 25,000 in 2021.

Jha, however, insists that as she grows older and her health deteriorates, she only wants to be with her husband. “I only wish to be with my husband for the rest of my life,” she told the media after the hearing. She also claimed that when she visits Mumbai, she faces threats and intimidation, making her feel unsafe.

Udit Narayan married Ranjana Jha in 1984 but distanced himself from her as his career soared. He later acknowledged their marriage and agreed to provide for her.

Kim Kardashian sued for mistakenly using another man’s photo instead of death row inmate

February 25, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Kim Kardashian is facing a lawsuit.
She mistakenly used a New York man’s photo instead of a death row inmate.
The mix-up involved two individuals named Ivan Cantu.

Kim Kardashian is facing a lawsuit after mistakenly using a New York man’s photo instead of a death row inmate’s in a social media post. The mix-up involved two individuals named Ivan Cantu, leading to unintended consequences for the wrongly identified man.

Before the Texas inmate’s execution, Kardashian, an advocate for criminal justice reform, shared an Instagram post condemning the death penalty. However, instead of using the prisoner’s photo, she accidentally posted an image of Ivan Cantu, a project manager from Westchester. With millions of followers, the post quickly gained attention.

Cantu, the project manager, has now sued Kardashian in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming he has suffered “hatred, contempt, and/or ridicule” as a result. He also alleged the incident caused him “anxiety and emotional distress.” His lawyer, Greg Sobo, criticized Kardashian’s actions, saying, “For too long, we have seen social media cause devastating injuries to innocent victims.”

Though Kardashian’s team removed the post “almost immediately” after realizing the mistake, Cantu’s lawyer argued that the damage was already done. “Mr. Cantu’s privacy was destroyed at a most critical and sensitive time,” Sobo stated, adding that they attempted to contact Kardashian’s team before filing the lawsuit.

Marvel and DC’s editor-in-chiefs confirmed the partnership.

DC and Marvel, the two biggest comic book universes, are set to make history with an exciting new collaboration.

Naumaan Ijaz comes forward in defence of Pakistani team

February 24, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Naumaan Ijaz stepped in to defend the Pakistani team.
Naumaan urged people to look at the bigger picture.
His statement sparked mixed reactions on social media.

In yet another intense clash between Pakistan and India, Pakistan suffered a disappointing defeat, triggering a wave of reactions from fans. While many expressed frustration, others stepped in to defend the team, including renowned Pakistani actor Naumaan Ijaz.

The high-stakes ICC match in Dubai had built immense anticipation, with a charged crowd and several celebrities cheering for Pakistan. However, as the final ball was bowled and Pakistan’s loss was confirmed, the mood shifted drastically.

Fans flooded social media with memes and harsh criticism, targeting specific players and questioning the team’s strategy. Amid the backlash, Naumaan Ijaz took a different approach, urging people to look at the bigger picture.

Posting on Instagram, he questioned, “11 players ko zaleel karne se pehle koi yeh bataye ke baaqi idaron aur 26 crore ki awaam ne Pakistan ki izzat barhane ke liye kya kaam kiya hai?” (Before humiliating the 11 [team] players, can anyone tell what the other institutions and a population of 260 million have done to elevate Pakistan’s honour?).

His statement sparked mixed reactions. Some agreed, with one user commenting, “You’re speaking the truth! We can’t place the burden of everything solely on cricketers.”

Others, however, felt accountability was necessary. One critic argued, “We contribute taxes so they can enjoy a lavish lifestyle. Numerous deserving players never make the cut due to the ‘parchee’ system, while those who do often leave us disappointed.”

The debate continues, reflecting how deeply cricket is tied to Pakistan’s national identity.

The Rawalpindi central police officer confirmed that a special control room had been established to oversee security, utilizing Safe City cameras and CCTV surveillance to monitor both the stadium and surrounding areas.

Additionally, snipers have been strategically placed on rooftops along the route and around the venue, while Police, Dolphin Force, and Elite Force units are actively patrolling. Spectators can only enter after passing through walk-through gates and undergoing full-body searches.

She recalled how Shah Rukh Khan supported her son Abhay Chopra’s directorial debut, Ittefaq, when she lacked the financial resources to produce it, refusing even to charge interest on the investment.

Chopra recounted how she initially reached out to Shah Rukh, requesting a meeting. Instead, SRK insisted on coming to see her out of respect. However, after three weeks without a visit, she decided to take the initiative.

Detailing their conversation, she shared, “Maine kaha, ‘Dekh, paise mere paas nahi hai,’ toh he said, ‘Woh main laga dunga.’ Maine kaha, ‘Baki mere bacche puri tarah se dil laga ke picture banaenge’” (I said, ‘I don’t have money,’ to which he replied, ‘I’ll put in the money.’ I told him that my son would make the movie with his heart).

SRK’s trust in Abhay was unwavering. “Unhone kahani bhi shayad padi nahi. His principle was, ‘I never back the horse; I back the jockey,’” she revealed. Even after the film’s completion, he refused to take interest, saying, “Nahi, ye haraam hai mere liye. Main nahi lunga” (No, this is forbidden for me. I won’t take it).

Ittefaq (2017) starred Sidharth Malhotra, Akshaye Khanna, and Sonakshi Sinha, earning ₹51.47 crore worldwide. Meanwhile, SRK is set to appear in King, directed by Siddharth Anand, promising an entertaining experience for fans.

However, he remains optimistic, stating, “Baaki Junaid jo hai voh seekhega. This is a field where you have to face success and failure. Junaid is young and intelligent. He has got a lot of energy and positivity. He’ll find his way.”

Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael Lohan, was arrested over the weekend on allegations of domestic violence against his estranged wife, Kate Major. The 64-year-old was taken into custody in Texas on Saturday, with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office confirming that he physically assaulted Major.

The incident allegedly occurred on Friday, February 21, when Major, 42, spotted Lohan in the parking lot of a medical facility. Concerned that he was following her, she reported it to authorities. She later told officers that Lohan had “flipped her out of a chair at their residence a few days earlier.” Deputies noted visible bruising on Major’s body. Lohan was arrested and charged with “continuous violence against the family” and is currently being held on a $30,000 bond.

Lohan and Major, who married in 2014, have been estranged since 2018 when Major filed for divorce, calling their marriage “irretrievably broken.” Their tumultuous relationship has seen multiple legal troubles, including Major’s past arrest for “drunkenly attacking” Lohan and allegedly throwing a glass candle at him.

Honey Singh takes jab at Badshah, Raftaar for their remarks againt him

February 23, 2025 by Areej Afzal

Honey Singh aimed at fellow rappers Badshah and Raftaar.
He hit back at Raftaar for his past remarks against him.
Last year, he broke his silence on his feud with Badshah.

Honey Singh set the stage on fire as he began his Millionaire India Tour in Mumbai on Saturday night. Videos and pictures of his electrifying performance quickly surfaced on social media, with fans cheering him on. However, what stole the spotlight was his pointed remarks about fellow rappers Badshah and Raftaar.

Addressing the audience, Honey said, “Kayi log kehte hain ki wo mere bhai hain. Kayi log kehte hain ki mera comeback nahi ho raha. Aur phir kehte hain wo mere gaane likhte the. Aur phir kehte hain ki wo meri takdeer likh denge.” He then challenged his critics, saying, “Pichle saal meri taqdeer ne kaiyon ke guroor hain tode.”

Last year, he broke his silence on his feud with Badshah, revealing, “For 10 years, one man kept abusing me, making songs about me, mocking my illness, and I never responded. It was only this year, in 2024, that I started speaking up, and that too because of my fans.”

Meanwhile, Badshah expressed his wish to bury the hatchet, saying, “There was a phase in my life when I held a grudge against one person, and now I want to call it quits – and that’s Honey Singh.”

Honey’s tour spans 10 major cities, concluding in Kolkata on April 5.
