It was direct a response to what Nafisa had just spoken about with remarkable conviction. Even as she continues her battle with Stage 4 peritoneal and ovarian cancer, she refused to let the conversation be defined by illness alone. Instead, she spoke about purpose, responsibility, and the courage to leave the world better than we found it. Nasser, visibly moved, embraced her as the interview concluded. ‘World definitely deserves to be a better place’ In an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, Nafisa said, “I always believe that a human being is put on this earth for a purpose. And it’s important that every human being does good for this planet, because it’s only one little planet in the cosmos, in the universe. And cancer is something that tears families apart. It tears your financial balance apart. It …

Published by Webster

Following his removal as Deputy Leader of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the Rajya Sabha, Raghav Chadha on Friday said that he has been “silenced, not defeated”.  Taking to X, Chadha shared a video message for his party with a short line saying, “Silenced, not defeated. My message to the aam aadmi.” In the video message, he questioned the decision to restrict his voice in Parliament, asking whether raising issues concerning the public had become a crime.

He expressed concern over being denied opportunities to raise matters affecting citizens. “Whenever I get a chance, I speak about issues related to the people. Why should anyone stop me?” he asked. Focus on public issues Raghav Chadha stated that he has consistently raised concerns such as challenges faced by delivery workers, high food prices at airports, food adulteration, toll charges, middle-class tax burdens and telecom recharge practices.

‘Men only feel pain when actresses are paid more’: How Preity Zinta and Sonakshi Sinha silenced Kapil Sharma at Screen Awards | Bollywood News

4 min readHyderabadMar 29, 2026 06:00 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 22nd Screen Awards, when Kapil Sharma and Karan Johar found themselves completely outmanoeuvred on stage by Preity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty, Farah Khan, and Sonakshi Sinha in a banter session that the audience has not forgotten since. The evening’s first crack appeared when Karan Johar, ever the picture of composed sophistication, took one look at the broom being handed to him on stage and announced he would rather be anywhere else. “I don’t like this broom,” he said, making his position on manual labour abundantly clear. Kapil Sharma, sensing an opportunity, turned to the audience with a grin. Was this not, he asked Karan, the very same thing used to clean houses first thing in the morning? Or did people of Karan’s standing prefer a fancier arrangement? The audience laughed. …

How Pawan Kalyan silenced every political critic and why Ustaad Bhagat Singh is his most loaded release yet | Telugu News

How Pawan Kalyan silenced every political critic and why Ustaad Bhagat Singh is his most loaded release yet | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

In 2019, Pawan Kalyan contested two assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh and lost both. His party, Janasena, fielded candidates in 137 seats and won one. That lone winning MLA defected shortly after. By the time the dust settled, he had no representation, no seat, and a political career that looked finished before it had properly started. This Thursday, he releases a film. That sentence would have read very differently five years ago, when it seemed like he was heading toward the same quiet exit his brother Chiranjeevi had made after his own political experiment ended in a merger and a cabinet posting that nobody remembers. Pawan Kalyan went back to the ground, rebuilt, and in 2024, won 23 out of 23 seats his party contested. He is currently the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Ustaad Bhagat Singh, directed by Harish Shankar and releasing on March 19, arrives against that backdrop. But the man walking into theatres this week carries a decade of political history with him, and that changes how the film plays out. …

Amber Heard confronts intense public scrutiny and media trial in powerful doc Silenced | Review

Amber Heard confronts intense public scrutiny and media trial in powerful doc Silenced | Review

Published by Parlour News

Silenced documentary review Director: Selina Miles Star rating: ★★★ Actor Amber Heard makes a poignant appearance in the new documentary Silenced, which premiered at the World Cinema Documentary Competition section at Sundance. But the actor wants to amplify that this is not her story to tell, because she did not really have a choice. “This is not about me. I have lost my ability to speak. I am not here to tell my story. I don’t want to tell my story. In fact, I don’t want to use my voice anymore. That’s the problem,” she says, speaking directly to the camera. The documentary is pivoted by the work of Australian lawyer Jennifer Robinson in the Amber Heard case. The premise Silenced charts her story, but from the perspective of international human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson, who worked along with her during the 2018 lawsuit filed by Heard’s ex-husband Johnny Depp, against British newspaper The Sun. It is Robinson’s point of view that comes first, and she is among the multiple women whose stories are traced …

Tamasha turns 10: Imtiaz Ali silenced his critics with an audacious opening that retells the ‘same story’ all over again | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

“Why always the same story?” The question trailed Imtiaz Ali like a shadow as he began working on his sixth film. His fifth with his creative backbone, editor Aarti Bajaj; his third with AR Rahman, whose music always gave his ideas its bloodstream; and his second with Ranbir Kapoor, the muse who mirrored his emotional voltage better than anyone else. The film was Tamasha, which inevitably, became the very thing he was accused of repeating. A man divided between instinct and intellect; a boyish soul who finds himself only by losing himself first, a character who discovers his voice at the precise point where love fractures and then, unexpectedly, reconstitutes. It was as simple as it was imperfect, as rich as it was messy. It was as Ali as a film could be: never neat, always contradictory, perpetually searching. A film that, by retelling the familiar arc for the umpteenth time, turned the criticism back on the world and asked, in complete defiance: “Why must the same story always feel like a crime?” Because, after …

Shubman Gill’s critics silenced after opener’s match-winning innings ‘worth its weight in gold’: ‘Never makes sense…’

Published by Parlour News

Shubman Gill’s role in the Indian T20I team has raised eyebrows and given birth to plenty of doubters, who aren’t convinced by the batter’s ability to score at a rate expected of a modern T20 batter. Despite his successes in the IPL, the question remains whether Gill’s batting is strong enough to include him for the sake of him being a potential future captain. Shubman Gill in action during India’s 4th T20I victory.(AFP) Despite some question marks and doubts about his innings of 46 at the Carrara Oval on Thursday, which looked slightly laboured at the time as it came off 39 deliveries. However, it became clear as the match wore on and batting looked difficult on the Gold Coast surface that Gill’s innings was a crucial and potentially even match-winning one at the top of the order. As a result of his contribution, which helped push India to a 48-run win, Gill earned plaudits from pundits for showing how even a relatively classical style can earn rewards in the shortest format.
