Exclusive | Lock Upp 2 winner Shreya Kalra calls out selective hypocrisy of inmates: ‘Sab ekdum jhund mein aa jaate the’

Shreya Kalra emerged as the winner of Lock Upp Season 1 on Netflix. She survived the captive reality show for six weeks and ultimately triumphed over Shivangi Joshi in the finale. In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times after winning the show, Shreya talked in detail about her time inside the house where she felt cornered by the inmates, and even wanted to leave the show at one point. Shreya Kalra shared her experience of surviving the show for six weeks. ‘It was mentally very exhausting’ Shreya was slammed by the rest of the contestants for revealing Akanksha Chamola‘s secret about being bisexual. Then, she had a huge fight with Akanksha Choudhary over touching her face, which escalated in a rather bitter manner. Shreya shares how those were some of the most difficult days inside the show. She says, “It was mentally very exhausting. I had to shout multiple times that I had done nothing wrong, and when I did make a mistake, I apologised to people. I am not some goddess, I accept my …

Vir Das questions Indian artistes’ ‘hypocrisy’ in not supporting students ‘and then trying to sell them tickets later’

Comedian and actor Vir Das has joined a growing number of Indian celebrities throwing their weight behind the ongoing student protests in Delhi. A large number of Indian youths are protesting against the alleged irregularities in the Indian education system, including paper leaks, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. On Tuesday, Vir Das took to X to question Indian artistes’ silence on the matter. Vir Das shared his two cents on the CJP protests. Vir Das questions artistes’ silence on student protests On Tuesday morning, Vir took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “If you’re an Indian live artist. I hope you understand the sheer hypocrisy of not speaking up for young people, and then trying to sell them tickets later. The sheer luxury of being a silent viewer to what an Indian crowd cares about, and then expecting an Indian crowd to be loud and vocal and care about you. Apna apna dekh lo, lekin mere liye pahunch jaana. Doesn’t work. The concert economy in India is built on young people gathering …

‘The hypocrisy is breathtaking’: Trump’s Obama-era Iran warnings return as he chooses war amid negotiations

‘The hypocrisy is breathtaking’: Trump’s Obama-era Iran warnings return as he chooses war amid negotiations

When news of Israeli-American joint attacks on Iran began circulating on Saturday, many users of X did not race to the latest headlines. They raced to the archives. Within hours, decade-old posts by Donald Trump — in which he repeatedly warned that then-President Barack Obama would “manufacture” a war with Iran to boost his re-election prospects — resurfaced en masse.

Iran’s foreign affairs minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi also pulled out an old Trump ‘tweet’ that said Obama would start a war to divert from his domestic political performance. Araghchi wrote: “(Israel PM Benjamin) Netanyahu and Trump’s war on Iran is wholly unprovoked, illegal, and illegitimate.” Another of Trump’s posts attracting renewed attention is …

‘Who will marry me?’: Akshara Singh calls out hypocrisy over Pawan Singh fallout, says he ‘roams with 10 girls and no one questions him’ | Regional News

4 min readNew DelhiFeb 25, 2026 08:40 PM IST Bhojpuri actor Akshara Singh, who was previously in a turbulent relationship with superstar Pawan Singh, has often opened up about the impact that phase had on her life and career.

Ebb movie review: Jeo Baby, Divya Prabha’s film deals a blow to male hypocrisy and performative wokeness, but doesn’t stop there | Movie-review News

Ebb movie review: Jeo Baby, Divya Prabha’s film deals a blow to male hypocrisy and performative wokeness, but doesn’t stop there | Movie-review News

Jeo Baby’s Ebb movie review: There aren’t many filmmakers in Malayalam cinema, or perhaps in India itself, who expose male hypocrisy the way Jeo Baby does: brutally, uninhibitedly, and astutely. His latest feature film, Ebb, which premiered at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), is yet another example of this. However, this time he has opted for a far more raw portrayal and has ensured an exploration of its psychological dimensions as well, along with the social conditioning that contributes to it. At the same time, the movie also anatomises the concepts of monogamy and non-monogamy, their practical implications, and, to an extent, performative wokeness, too. Known for his artworks and ‘nonconformist’ mindset and lifestyle, Adarsh (Jeo) lives in an apartment with his partner, Maria (Divya Prabha). Despite being head-over-heels in love with each other, they are in an open relationship and have other partners as well. Although she was initially not okay with Adarsh’s non-monogamous lifestyle, it is revealed that Maria eventually came to terms with it — thanks to Adarsh himself, …

PM `biggest dramabaaz`, indulging in hypocrisy: Congress

The Congress on Monday termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi the “biggest dramabaaz” and said his statement accusing the opposition of indulging in drama in Parliament is “nothing but hypocrisy”. Congress leaders, party president Mallikarjun Kharge and general secretary Jairam Ramesh, were responding to Modi saying in his comments before the start of the Winter session that Parliament is not a place for drama but delivery. Instead of addressing the real issue of people, Prime Minister Modi has once again made his `dramebazi delivery”, Kharge said in a statement on X. He said the reality is that the government has been continuously trampling on parliamentary decorum and system for the past 11 years, and the long list of such instances is well-known. “The BJP should now end this drama of distraction and engage in debate in Parliament on the real issues facing the people,” Kharge said in his post. He added that the truth is that common people are struggling with unemployment, inflation, economic inequality, and the looting of the country`s precious resources, while “those in …

PM Modi, during his first visit to Gujarat after the success of Operation Sindoor lashed out at Pakistan.

This proves that these terrorist activities are not just a proxy war — this is a deliberate war strategy on their part. If they are engaging in war, …

Last Updated:May 23, 2025, 23:35 IST Calling out Pakistan’s double standards, India says a nation that shelters terrorists and kills civilians cannot preach about protecting human rights at the global stage.
