When Salman Khan hijacked Karan Johar’s tribute to Shah Rukh Khan in a viral face-off

4 min readBengaluruMar 26, 2026 09:00 PM IST Ahead of the Chetak Screen Awards 2026, set to take place on April 5 in Mumbai, we look back at some of the most memorable moments from past editions of the awards. One such highlight came at the Screen Awards 2017, when Salman Khan indulged in playful banter with Karan Johar, cheekily accusing him of consistently favouring Shah Rukh Khan in his films and shows. The Screen Awards 2017  were hosted by Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Karan Johar. As Karan Johar first took the stage at the awards ceremony, he said, “Today, we are also celebrating the spirit of friendship in the Indian film industry. And whenever I think of friendship, the first name that comes to my mind is someone you all know very well. So without any delay, I would like to introduce you to the one who, whenever he spreads his arms, some beautiful actress falls right into them… whose dimples are more famous than the Eiffel Tower… who, for me, is …

Review: Hijacked by Pralav Dhyani

Review: Hijacked by Pralav Dhyani

Hijacked, a real-life story about being taken hostage by Somali pirates, begins rather unexpectedly with the author, Pralav Dhyani’s failed education stint in Canada. After he returned to India with no degree and no plan, his father enrolled him in the merchant navy, hoping it would have a positive influence. A true brat, the young man enrols with his PlayStation, speakers and a small TV in tow. His self-centred ways continue until he is reprimanded by the captain, a major turning point in his life. Dhyani writes with disarming honesty about his early failures followed by waves of remorse and self-awareness. A military patrol ship on the high seas. (Shutterstock) 256pp, ₹262; HarperCollins Afterwards, life seemed to be falling into a reassuring pattern when, after seven months at sea, on a lazy Sunday, a dead engine makes the ship fall prey to pirates. They take it to Somalia where it is stripped of valuables. An interpreter is then sent to negotiate with the captain for the crew’s lives. The starving pirates aren’t in a great …

Why Trump hijacked the .gov domain

Why Trump hijacked the .gov domain

Hello and welcome to Regulator. Happy New York City mayoral election day to everyone who’s voting, watching from afar, or just here for the memes. And happy 35th day of the federal government shutdown, which, as of today, is tied for the longest shutdown in history. But let’s step back for a second, because there’s something these two seemingly unrelated events have in common. Back in 2018, two things were constantly in my social media diet: viral videos from WorldStarHipHop.com of people getting into physical fights, and Donald Trump and MAGA influencers instigating Twitter flame wars. Though the content originated from vastly different communities, their most viral posts shared the same qualities: they had to feature a shocking fight, and they had to make their intended audience feel a vicious, vicarious glee about how thoroughly the loser had been beaten up — to the point that no one felt any sympathy toward the loser at all. Flash forward seven years, and “WorldStar politics,” as I was calling it back then, has not only entered the …

Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence’s 2025 Cannes Film Festival premiere got hijacked by a giant bird man; read

Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence just dropped what may be the strangest and sexiest film of the year — Die, My Love — at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. But while their performances had critics buzzing, it wasn’t the movie that stole the spotlight. It was the premiere. And for some reason, it involved a giant bird.  A guest from ‘I Love Peru’ attends the ‘Die My Love’ red carpet at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 17, 2025 Now, this was not the same as when Emma Stone walked the red carpet for the premiere of her new film Eddington alongside Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal. Her own run-in involved a very real bee. The 36-year-old actress kept her cool, but the moment clearly caught everyone off guard, with her co-stars quickly stepping in as makeshift pest control. What no one expected after that mishap was a full-grown man dressed as a giant condor strutting up the carpet like he was about to snatch a Palme d’Or. Festival-goers …
