She revealed that she chose not to seek alimony, emphasising that she prioritised peace over a legal battle. Rajeev Paul was married to Delnaaz Irani for 14 years before they separated in 2010. Delnaaz Irani on her divorce Delnaaz looked back at her divorce in the recent episode of The Male Feminist, revealing whether societal expectations during the divorce process affected her. The actor said that back in 2010, many announcements about the divorce were made in the newspapers, but her relationship was over way before 2010. She added, “Many discussions happened between us as a couple about what’s not working. But in a relationship, people take each other for granted, and probably that happened with me. My partner kept taking me for granted, probably he did not realise that the matter was going to turn serious. There was nothing like divorce in my dictionary. From where I come, a middle-class, Parsi family, my parents …

Rahman, and Irshad Kamil for the new song has further amplified the excitement. Set against the backdrop of 1947, the film offers a fresh and deeply personal take on Partition, told through the eyes of today’s youth. Why Imtiaz Ali chose the subject of Partition Speaking about his motivation behind exploring Partition, Imtiaz Ali said, “I never wanted to make a film on Partition if I had nothing unique to say. I did not want to report an incident.” He added,  “There has been a lot of influence in society, not only due to the 1947 Partition but also large-scale migration. I feel that migration is the story of the century for the entire world. For us, the most significant event in the Indian subcontinent is Partition, which affected the maximum number of people. It has affected them deeply and in many strange ways. But in retrospect, after …

3 min readNew DelhiMar 18, 2026 01:08 PM IST YouTuber Dhruv Rathee has criticised Priyanka Chopra over her reaction to actor Javier Bardem’s “Free Palestine” statement at the Oscars, calling her response “cowardly” and “selfish.” Taking to Instagram, Dhruv shared a video analysing Priyanka’s reaction, which he described as “worth watching.” Playing a clip from the Academy Awards, he said, “Some of you might ask what was wrong with her reaction. She chose to stay quiet and remain neutral—but that is the problem. People who are in a position of neutrality are often in a position of privilege.” He argued that those unaffected by conflict can afford to remain neutral, adding, “If bombs aren’t being dropped on your home, you can say you don’t support war and still choose to stay neutral.” Drawing parallels with global geopolitics, he cited countries like New Zealand and Iceland as examples of nations that could choose neutrality due to their geographical distance from conflict zones. However, he stressed that taking a stand is ultimately “a matter of humanity,” especially …

3 min readChennaiMar 16, 2026 12:54 PM IST Rajesh Khanna was the first actor to attain superstardom in the Hindi film industry. However, as quickly as the late veteran star rose to fame, his downfall—particularly after the rise of Amitabh Bachchan in the film industry during the 1970s—was equally brutal. Recently, Akshay Kumar called Amitabh his inspiration as an actor, but when asked why not his father-in-law Rajesh Khanna, the actor gave an intriguing reply. Recently, during an interaction with India Today, Akshay was asked to name the actors who have inspired him the most. He took the names of Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar and Mehmood. When he was then asked why he didn’t mention his father-in-law Rajesh Khanna, he responded, “I have learnt a lot from my father-in-law. I learnt from him what not to do. He used to actually sit me down and tell me about all the mistakes that he had done. He was the number one superstar that India had seen.” Akshay recalled how, as a child, he used to stand …

5 min readNew DelhiMar 16, 2026 01:00 AM IST Years of marriage, shared memories, and countless “I love yous” — a single discovery and all is gone. A picture-perfect love story is suddenly reduced to a fragile bond, struggling to survive after infidelity. It’s not just one couple’s story — it’s a reality many quietly live with. Psychotherapist Lauren LaRusso shared one such case from a woman who wrote in after discovering her husband’s affair with his ex-girlfriend — a woman who is also married with children. “My husband had an affair with his ex-girlfriend… It was deeply involved – sexual and emotional with daily contact, but they had not planned to leave their families. Since I discovered the affair, he has begged me for my forgiveness, cut off contact with her and is generally doing everything possible to repair our marriage. But I can’t help but feel like I’m the second best – his backup and safe option. It feels she is/was the love of his life… How can I ever compete with that?” …

Congress chose appeasement over nation by truncating Vande Mataram, says Haryana CM Saini

Published by Parlour News

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. File | Photo Credit: ANI Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday (February 27, 2026) alleged that the Congress party truncated ‘Vande Mataram’ and compromised on the national song in 1937 under pressure from the Muslim League and allowed appeasement politics to override national sentiment. He was speaking during a debate on the motion of thanks to the Governor’s address in the ongoing budget session of the State Assembly. “It is a matter of immense pride that this year’s budget session began with the Vande Mataram,” he said, adding that those who are questioning its singing must reflect on their own historical record. He said that the completion of 150 years of ‘Vande Mataram’ is not merely a ceremonial milestone, but a 150-year saga of national awakening, sacrifice, and cultural self-respect. The Congress legislators, in the meantime, staged a brief walkout from the House in a show of protest. The Chief Minister said on August 15, 1947, at the request of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Pandit Omkar Nath Thakur …
