Sonam Wangchuk’s wife Gitanjali Angmo takes a dig at Bollywood. What did Gitanjali Angmo write? Gitanjali gushed over The Odyssey and described watching the film on the big screen as a “surreal” experience. She wrote, “Watched Odyssey yesterday. Surreal to see on screen what was still a conversation when I accidentally met Christopher Nolan in New York in 2024.

Toxic actor slams trolls criticising Kiara Advani over Tabaahi song while praising Yash: ‘Seriously? He’s also married’

Points out double standard in praising Yash Benedict pointed out that Yash is married too, adding, “You see, Yash, he’s also married, he also has children. So why is only the woman getting the abuse, while the man apparently gets the applause? Listen, here’s the reality check. They are actors. Their job is to act, to portray characters, to make you believe that they are in love, even when they’re not. Their job is to tell stories that reflect the human experience.” He also wrote in his caption, “The backlash over the Tabahi music video says far more about society than it does about either actor.” Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

‘Matter of pride’: After Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘who are you’ remark, PM Modi shares post praising Nitin Nabin

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday shared a post about Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Nitin Nabin, detailing his journey from a student to becoming a legislator. He did not name anyone, but it was seen as a rebuff to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal after he made a disparaging remark about Nabin. In December 2025, PM Modi praised him for having distinguished himself as a hardworking worker when Nabin was appointed as the BJP’s working president. (File Image) “This simplicity and straightforwardness are a matter of pride for every BJP worker…” Modi said, sharing the post of Piyush Padmakar, an old associate of Nabin. Padmakar wrote the post on Sunday about Nabin’s humility and how he lived frugally as a student despite his father being a legislator in Bihar. “…Even then, Nitin was the most disciplined and sociable among the four friends. If there were fights among us, it was Nitin who would resolve them,” Padmkar wrote. ALSO READ | Parvesh Verma’s ‘remember me?’ retort to Arvind Kejriwal’s ‘who are you’ remark …
