Imran Khan Backs Jharkhand Student Protests With Sarcastic Post

Imran Khan Backs Jharkhand Student Protests With Sarcastic Post

Published by Parlour News

Bollywood actor Imran Khan has voiced support for the ongoing student protests in Jharkhand. He shared a sarcastic post on social media that read, “Students protesting in Jharkhand. Let’s all ignore them, what could possibly go wrong.” The remark comes just days after he joined a student protest in Mumbai. Imran made his acting debut as a lead in 2008 with Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, directed by Abbas Tyrewala. Before that, audiences had seen him as a child actor in films starring his uncle, Aamir Khan, including Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander. In an interview with Filmfare last year, Imran reflected on his early years in the industry. He said he would tell his younger self to be less fearful and more open to adventure and experimentation. According to the actor, early success often brings advisers with strong opinions about what is right or wrong, leading young actors to believe those voices always know best. He added that true creativity flourishes in freedom rather than in trying to meet others’ expectations. …

AAP’s Sanjay Singh moves Rule 267 notice in Rajya Sabha against mandatory E20 fuel Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Wednesday (August 5, 2026) submitted a notice under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, seeking a discussion on the public outrage and consumer rights issues arising from the mandatory implementation of E20 petrol ahead of the Monsoon Session in Parliament. “The government has advanced its ethanol-blending target from 2030 to 2025 and has effectively made E20 petrol the default fuel available at a large number of retail outlets (petrol pumps) nationwide. Consequently, millions of citizens are being compelled to use a fuel for which their vehicles were neither designed nor certified, all without any meaningful alternative or informed consent,” he said. He noted that the Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari admitted in Parliament that E20 petrol results in a 2-6% reduction in fuel efficiency (mileage), depending on the vehicle type and age. “This admission is significant as it establishes that consumers are forced to purchase more fuel to cover the same …

Published by Webster

Bhumi Pednekkar has been receiving severe backlash on the internet after her recent remarks. The actress shared a post on social media calling out the foul language used by the protesters during the students’ protests across the country against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, the internet quickly pointed out that she chose to stay silent when the students were being beaten up, lathi-charged, and pelted with guns during the Sansad March on July 20. Neha Bhasin slams Bhumi Pednekkar Now singer Neha Bhasin has publicly called out Bhumi in her latest Instagram post. Neha penned a long note and wrote, “I would have really respected our dear PM more if there was calling out of police for openly, inappropriately touching women during the protests, as he is offended by the use of gaalis. He himself said these are kids. But the police is appointed to protect and abide by the law. So why is there no accountability there?” Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here. All rights …

The Reel Woman: This 18-year-old feminist version of Ramayana was more controversial than Adipurush, led to protests

The Reel Woman: This 18-year-old feminist version of Ramayana was more controversial than Adipurush, led to protests

Published by Parlour News

Every time an adaptation of Ramayana is announced, one can’t help but draw comparisons to the Indo-Japanese anime, Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama, or Ramanand Sagar’s TV show, Ramayan. Compared to the reverence these two are treated with, Om Raut’s Adipurush has unfortunately become synonymous with how the story must not be adapted. Even before its release, Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana has already generated conversations around the casting or VFX. But did you know that an American feminist adaptation of the epic was once even more controversial than Adipurush? Nina Paley’s American adaptation of Ramayana ran into controversy from Hindu groups. Know all about Sita Sings the Blues The year was 2008. American artist Nina Paley created an animated musical titled Sita Sings the Blues, inspired by her time in India. She marketed it as ‘the greatest break-up story ever told’. A light-hearted and feminist retelling of the Ramayana, the film uses vector graphics, traditional Indian shadow puppets, and flat 2D art inspired by Rajput and Pahari miniature paintings. It intersperses scenes from the artist’s …
