I hope this woman keeps talking because the longer she does the more likely people are to find her racist social media posts. It's absurd she hasn't been fired
"Nobody Wants This" star Tovah Feldshuh says "tensions are not rising" among the cast despite disagreement with Adam Brody over Israel and Palestine. “Tensions are NOT RISING. Profound differences of opinion are. Please do not conflate the two—And none of it will be brought to the set. I deeply enjoy filming NWT and hope we are chosen to go on for a fourth season.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/nob…

Dorothy is the second Indian film this year (after Main Vaapas Aaunga), that soars and stings despite some rough edges. More importantly, both are films that dare to think thoughts, that aren't mainstream, and then say them with almost a childlike innocence. Both earn their tears

Adam Brody is voting for Abdul El Sayed. This will break the brain of that racist, who plays his mother on Nobody Wants This.

This is what actor Dia Mirza had said in her public appeal against fire crackers which was posted on the @mybmc website & later deleted after the BJP raised objection to it.
Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde said the list of celebrities chosen for civic campaigns must be cleared by her in future and that she would raise the issue with the administration. “Those who oppose Hindutva, we will oppose them. Henceforth, @mybmc should not make any public statement without my approval. Mumbai BJP president Ameet Satam’s social media post against it reflects the stand of all civic corporators,” Tawde said adding that Dia Mirza may post anything from her personal handle but when it comes to the BMC social media handle nothing should pass without our nod.

Blatantly communal, because her surname is Mirza. All the others - actors Madhuri Dixit and Nishigandha Wad, as well as cricketer Ajinkya Rahane - continue to remain on the BMC portal. 1930s Germany would be proud of it. deccanherald.com/india/dia-m…

The best way to celebrate @iamsrk is to be kind, be good, work hard, make your life better, help people, make everyone feel special, spoil everyone, spread your arms out and give the best hugs you possibly can. Believe in joy, good things and miracles! Happy SRK Day ♥️

Since Shah Rukh Khan isn't giving interviews, spoke to media professionals who have interacted with him closely about the same! Thank you for the inputs, @anupamachopra @MandviSharma @MoharBasu

Bollywood has given us many stars, but there is only one King Khan. Six decades on, Shah Rukh Khan continues to win hearts and write his own story. Some stars shine. Some define an era. @iamsrk does both. @anupamachopra @BShrayana @MoharBasu

BJP the ruling party in the BMC has forced the civic administration to take down a video featuring actor Dia Mirza, uploaded by @mybmc on it’s social media page as part of its Diwali campaign urging citizens to avoid firecrackers and noise pollution. The BMC’s campaign also features actors Madhuri Dixit and Nishigandha Wad, and cricketer Ajinkya Rahane. Their videos, however, continue to remain on the civic body’s social media page. BJP Mumbai president Ameet Satam objected to Mirza’s video in a post on X, tagging @mybmc and writing: “We don’t need lessons on how to celebrate #Diwali from @deespeak. Our traditions are deeply rooted in our culture.”

While we debate on whether films influence & incite violence, or not, here’s a column I did last year on films & series that expose us to the horrors of teenage angst & fury. W/O celebrating but with empathy. Special reco Hur Jin-ho’s #ANormalFamily newindianexpress.com/amp/sto…
