Videos of Ananya Panday performing fusion Bharatanatyam in her latest release Chand Mera Dil have been going viral on social media. However, the actor has once again found herself at the receiving end of online trolling, with several netizens and dance enthusiasts criticising her performance and dance moves. While Ananya has chosen not to respond to the backlash, her father Chunky Panday has reacted to the trolling. Meanwhile, the assistant choreographer associated with the performance was all praise for Ananya’s efforts and screen presence. During an interview with Etimes, Chunky mentioned that he feels people completely misunderstood Ananya’s dance because it was never meant to be pure Bharatanatyam, but actually a fusion performance. Calling it a kind of experimental dance, he said that it is what we see college students performing at social or cultural events. Chunky requested people to stop assuming and view the dance from another lens. He also acknowledged the fact that pure Bharatanatyam takes years of rigorous training, discipline, and precision.

‘Poor Florian Wirtz’: Bayern chief Uli Hoeness slams Liverpool’s ‘catastrophic season’, accuses Mo Salah and others of keeping the ball instead of passing | Football News

Published by Webster

Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness slammed Liverpool’s subpar season, saying that the English club wasn’t playing to the strengths of star signing Florian Wirtz. He also accused players like Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai not passing to the German player and are instead happy to just keep the ball. “They have spent 500 million euros and are playing a catastrophic season… In my opinion, that’s because you only have superstars. You only have chiefs and no workers. I always say: at Liverpool, they’ll soon have to play with five balls because the stars don’t want to give up a ball. Poor Florian Wirtz, he doesn’t get the ball at all because Salah and Szoboszlai and what they’re all called want to play with their own ball.” Wirtz hasn’t yet hit the ground running for the Reds after his record £116m move from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer. The German playmaker has yet to register a goal or assist in the Premier League for the defending champions and has been under immense scrutiny for his …

“Consequences For US Pilots Could’ve Been Catastrophic”: Yemen Chats Revealed

Published by Webster

Following denials by US President Donald Trump, the White House and several top officials that no classified information was shared in the messaging group discussing plans of an attack on the Houthis in Yemen on March 15, The Atlantic has shared the full text of the chats, including screenshots, highlighting that it had received very specific information more than two hours before the start of the bombing.  This information and particularly the exact times US aircraft were taking off for Yemen, the magazine emphasised, would have exposed American pilots and other personnel to “even greater danger” if they had fallen into the wrong hands. The Atlantic’s Editor In Chief Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently invited to the group chat on the Signal messaging app in which the bombing plans were being discussed. The chat reportedly included Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Hegseth, Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Antonio Rubio, Director Of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and others.

She represented the Five Feet Apart director and his Wayfarer Studios when reports of a rift between him and Blake Lively first emerged. Abe and Jones were part of Joneswork PR when rumors of bad blood between the It Ends With Us co-stars began circulating.

He alleged that, despite being fired from Wayfarer Studios, Jones wrongfully used her partner’s phone to connect with Lively’s publicist, Leslie Sloane.
