‘I’ll break your legs’: How Anita Kanwal shielded her teenage daughter from casting couch | Television News

Veteran television actress Anita Kanwal has opened up about the painful experiences her daughter, actress Pooja Kanwal, faced while trying to make a career in the entertainment industry. In a recent conversation, Anita revealed that she fought harder for her daughter’s dreams than she ever did for her own career, turned down work at the peak of her success to accompany her on shoots, and protected her from inappropriate advances that left the young actress deeply shaken. Pooja Kanwal, daughter of Anita Kanwal, made her film debut with Rajshri Productions’ Uuf Kya Jaadoo Mohabbat Hai in 2004 and later appeared in films including Jawani Zindabad and Blue Oranges. However, despite an encouraging start, she was unable to achieve the success she had hoped for in the industry. Pooja eventually moved away from acting and is now involved in hosting and anchoring events. ‘I struggled more for Pooja than I ever did for myself’ Speaking on Siddharth Kannan’s podcast, Anita said she was determined to help her daughter fulfil that dream of becoming an actor. “I …

‘I was framed while others were shielded’: Lionel Messi GOAT Tour India organizer Satadru Dutta on Kolkata fiasco | Football News

3 min readUpdated: May 11, 2026 09:21 PM IST Satadru Dutta, the organizer of the Lionel Messi India GOAT Tour, said that political interference, security failures and administrative lapses had led to the fiasco at the Salt Lake Stadium during the event last year. Dutta, who was jailed after the event went haywire where thousands of supporters invaded the pitch after Messi left the stadium after just over 20 minutes, said that he was made the scapegoat. “Everything from our side was meticulously planned. We had 16-20 meetings with police and security officials. But when I entered the ground with Messi, I saw hundreds of unauthorised people crowding inside (the ground) with or without accreditation cards,” Dutta told PTI. “The pressure began over issuing additional accreditation cards. We refused because the number of people to be given access to the ground and other issues had already been finalised with the police. But unauthorised people continued to enter (the ground),” Dutta said. The fans had waited patiently when Messi, with his two mates from US club …

M.V. Govindan says no one will be shielded in Sabarimala gold theft case

M.V. Govindan says no one will be shielded in Sabarimala gold theft case

Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] State secretary M.V. Govindan on Sunday said that no one would be protected in the ongoing investigation into the alleged gold theft at the Sabarimala temple. Not a single grain of gold should go missing from the temple, he added. Reacting to the bail granted to Tantri Kandararu Rajeevaru in the case, Mr. Govindan said the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe was still under way and that conclusions on charges could be drawn only after its completion. “Our position is clear. Whoever is involved will be arrested. No one will be shielded,“ he said. ‘Politicising issue’ He alleged that Congress leaders were also linked to the case and criticised what he termed selective outrage. Referring to earlier allegations surrounding a missing ritual pot, he claimed there had been little discussion when accusations were raised against Congress leader K.C. Venugopal. “News becomes news only when it is against the CPI(M) and the government. It is not the same when it concerns the BJP or the Congress,” he said. Mr. Govindan …

‘People saying Gautam Gambhir, Gautam Gambhir’: Sitanshu Kotak says coach took blame, shielded Eden Gardens curator | Cricket News

‘People saying Gautam Gambhir, Gautam Gambhir’: Sitanshu Kotak says coach took blame, shielded Eden Gardens curator | Cricket News

What happened in Kolkata could have remained in Kolkata, but Team India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak on Thursday opted for a striking revision of events from the Eden Gardens Test ahead of the second match against South Africa in Guwahati. Responding to a question on the weakening defences of his team’s batters on turning tracks, the 53-year-old first recounted last weekend’s horrors to slip in the team’s collective change in stance. Defending the nature of the pitch that handed them a stunning 30-run defeat in the series opener, head coach Gautam Gambhir had lamented India’s poor batting exhibition rather than pointing fingers at the pitch and its preparation last Sunday. But Kotak went into an “honest” recall of events on day three in Kolkata, jumping to Gambhir’s defence and shifting the base of the blame game elsewhere. “At the press conference after the last match, Gautam (Gambhir) took all the blame on himself. He did that because he felt the blame should not fall on the curator,” Kotak told reporters at the Barsapara Stadium on …

Recently, in the latest episode of The Kardashians, during the season 6 finale, Kylie and Kendall Jenner had an intriguing conversation with their sister Kardashian, also reflecting back on older times and the emotions they shared with him.  Talking about a reunion Kendall and Kylie had with the former NBA player earlier this season, the conversation even saw a bit of criticism about how Khloé Kardashian handled her divorce.  The discussion began with Kendall Jenner stating that Khloé Kardashian hid a lot of information away from them, “in a good way, not in a bad way, because we were so young.” She then went on to add that it was understandable as the whole scenario was R-rated, because of which she doesn’t “expect anything else. But it’s interesting because Kylie and I actually don’t know a lot of it.” Agreeing with her words, Kylie then mentioned that she felt …
