Sona Mohapatra says backlash for sexualised depiction in Peddi forcing filmmaker to apologise has given her hope

Director Buchi Babu Sana’s sports action drama Peddi has come under intense scrutiny over the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor‘s character, Achiyyamma. Many questioned the hypersexualisation of its female lead and zooming in on her body parts, even as the male lead describes her face’s beauty. Singer Sona Mohapatra has now reacted to the controversy and said how the template of mainstream commercial cinema does not give any agency to female characters and objectifies them. Sona Mohapatra demands better written roles for women in films. What Sona said Taking to her Instagram account, Sona made a video speaking about the issue. She began, “For the last few days, one thing has given me a lot of relief, surprisingly. One of our heavily promoted mainstream film has been called out for its portrayal of the heroine. The backlash has given me some hope and optimism. Seems like it has an impact on the filmmakers and they will now remove some of the sections from the film. I have not watched the latest Peddi or its mothership Pushpa, …

Published on Feb 11, 2026 12:28 am IST Russia has signalled firm support for India amid growing trade tensions involving Washington, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov cautioning against what he described as U.S. “tactics” aimed at pressuring strategic partners. Speaking on evolving global trade alignments, Lavrov suggested attempts to “force” India into limiting cooperation with Moscow would undermine sovereign decision-making and multipolar diplomacy.

ISL clubs face stadium availability issues, forcing AIFF to juggle fixtures

ISL clubs face stadium availability issues, forcing AIFF to juggle fixtures

With less than a month to go before the Indian Super League is scheduled to kick off on February 14, uncertainty surrounding home venues has left the fixture list in disarray, forcing the All India Football Federation into a complex balancing act, per a report from TOI. Although the AIFF has confirmed that all 14 clubs will participate in the truncated 2025–26 ISL season, clarity on match fixtures remains elusive. According to officials familiar with the process, draft fixtures prepared by a joint working group of AIFF and club representatives were circulated to clubs over the weekend, but concerns over venue readiness stalled final approval. Only three clubs, Mohun Bagan Super Giant, East Bengal and FC Goa, currently have confirmed access to their home stadiums for the full duration of the season. Several other venues across the country are either undergoing renovation or have been booked for political events, concerts and non-sporting activities, complicating scheduling plans. Kerala Blasters are uncertain about using the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi due to incomplete work on the pitch …

Forcing happily-married couple to face trial under POCSO Act would be irony of fate: Allahabad HC

Representative images. | Photo Credit: Getty Images/iStockphotos Quashing criminal proceedings under the POCSO Act, the Allahabad High Court has observed that forcing a happily-married couple to face trial merely to record a hostile testimony would be an “irony of fate” and an “instrument of harassment”. In the instant case, the accused man had married the alleged victim and the latter had also favoured the quashing of the FIR and denied the allegations levelled by her father while lodging the report. Justice Kshitij Shailendra allowed the plea of Ashwani Anand, observing that the court cannot remain a “silent spectator” or “mere bystander” when the ends of justice demand immediate intervention. In its order dated November 21, the court said the “pious duty” of a judge is to “wipe every tear from every eye” and that the purpose of law is not to create problems for the society, but to find solutions. “Compelling a lady in such matters to visit court premises for months and years for the purpose of getting her own husband acquitted, where he …

Suparn Varma Exclusive Interview: ‘When it comes to Emraan, it was also breaking his image and forcing him to rediscover himself’

Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam starrer HAQ has been receiving a positive response from audiences after its release. Inspired by the Shah Bano vs Ahmad Khan case, HAQ is helmed by Suparn Varma, who previously proved his mettle with Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, The Family Man Season 2, Rana Naidu, and others. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Suparn Varma shared insights on Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi’s nuanced performances, while expressing his excitement for The Family Man Season 3.  Excerpts from the interview: The Shah Bano case is such a vast subject that could easily be adapted into a web series. It must be very difficult for you and your team to compile all of it in a 2-hour 16-minute film. So, how did you decide what to keep in the movie and what to avoid? We went with the heart of Shazia Bano (a character inspired by Shah Bano). For me, it was a story of a marriage that went wrong. A domestic dispute that escalated into a national controversy. And when I …
