"Hypocrisy": Asaduddin Owaisi On Sharad Pawar Sharing Stage With PM

NCP chief Sharad Pawar was on Tuesday accused by AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi of hypocrisy for sharing the stage with PM Narendra Modi in Pune.

The Pawar-led party rubbished Owaisi's remarks, and questioned his "lack of political awareness".

"While in Lok Sabha, NCP & other opposition parties have been protesting over Manipur; Sharad Pawar is happily sharing the dais with @narendramodi in Pune. What's this hypocrisy? At the same time, BJP is happily getting Bills passed without discussion," Owaisi tweeted.

"@asadowaisi needs to keep his eyes and ears open before making statements showing his lack of political awareness. Sharad Pawar Saheb attended the function as a mark of respect to Lokmanya Tilak. Does Owaisi know the importance of Tilak ji & has he ever paid any respect to him?" tweeted NCP spokesperson Clyde Crasto.

"My respect for Sharad Pawar Saheb has risen manyfolds today because he kept his promise to organizers of 'Lokmanya Tilak National Award' and as a mark of respect to Lokmanya Tilak, attended the function despite having to share stage with people responsible for breaking our party," Crasto tweeted.

"You Can...": CSK Star Makes India Comeback, Recalls Dhoni's Words

Chennai Super Kings clinched the IPL 2023 title after defeating Gujarat Titans in the final match in Ahmedabad. Ravindra Jadeja turned out to be the hero as he smashed 10 off the last two balls and pulled-off a thrilling win for CSK in a rain-curtailed match. In the quest of their record-equalling fifth title, many CSK players shed their sweat and blood but the contribution of Shivam Dube definitely stood out from others. The aggressive 30-year-old batter amassed 418 runs in the 16 matches at a strike rate of 158.33. 

After the successful IPL stint, Dube continued his fiery form in Deodhar Trophy and scored an unbeaten 83 off 78 balls for West Zone to lead them to victory against North Zone. Speaking about his batting skills, Dube hailed CSK skipper Dhoni and stated that former India captain has influenced his game. 

"I cannot express all the things (that Dhoni helped me with). I have upgraded my game. I got to know how to finish the game, how to be in the situation, how to tackle the bowlers, that all things are more important and many things are there but cannot express all the things," said Dube in a video posted on BCCI website. 

"But, I definitely got some big tips. He told me to play till the end and try to finish the game. You can win many matches from your batting, so keep believing in yourself'," he added. 

The left-handed batter has now been rewarded for his IPL heroics with a Team India call-up. He has been named in India's squad for the Asian Games, which will be held in China in September. Apart from that, Dube has also earned a call-up for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland in August. 

Notably, Dube has played 13 T20Is for Team India after making his debut in 2019 against Bangladesh. He was last seen in the national team in a T20I against New Zealand in February 2020. Apart from this, he has also played one ODI match against West Indies in December 2019.

"He Worked It": Karan On How Ranveer Took Rocky From Paper To Screen

Director Karan Johar, who is at present, basking in the success of his film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, spoke to film critic Anupama Chopra and revealed how Ranveer Singh created the role of Rocky Randhawa for the film. In an extensive chat, the Student Of The Year director noted that Ranveer Singh accompanied him to Delhi for a recce for three weeks. Elaborating on the actor's "process," Karan Johar said, "Ranveer was with me right through those three weeks on a recce in Delhi. He would meet Instagrammers, speak to them, pick up lingos, he would absorb. He would also be driving around Delhi at night and just getting the flavour. I don't know what he was doing but he had a process."

Giving due credit to the Lootera star for bringing to life the character and flamboyance of Rocky Randhawa, Karan continued "He worked it. He created the Rocky Randhawa. You see is a lot on paper but it has a lot to do with him."

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Karan Johar's film in the 25th year of his career as a director, has been receiving unending love and praise by his fans and industry friends alike. Expressing his gratitude for all the love, Karan Johar told Anupama Chopra, "I feel so happy with all the pyaar. I don't know how to react to this love."

Seems like Karan Johar is not the only one feeling overwhelmed with all the love. A day back, Alia Bhatt, our very own Rani Chatterjee, shared an adorable picture of herself featuring Ranveer Singh and Karan Johar alongside a heartfelt caption. In the picture we can see the on-screen couple twinning and winning in white with a special cameo from Karan Johar.

Alia Bhatt kept the caption simple as she wrote, "Love hain toh sab hain!!! From the bottom of our hearts .. Thank you for all the love.. eternally grateful! Love, Rocky, Rani and our maker of this Kahaani."

Take a look at her post here:

About the film, NDTV's Saibal Chatterjee said, “On the screen and off it, flamboyance comes easy to Ranveer Singh. There is nobody in the Mumbai industry who could have pulled off Rocky as well as he does…Alia Bhatt strikes the right notes in the role of a girl who embraces her beliefs with confidence and confronts all the imperfections in her and in the people around her without letting any of it get the better of her. She is the real star of the show.”
