Pakistani singer Shae Gill's has been sharing anti-India posts on Instagram. Indian users expressed anger, urging authorities to block her account like other Pakistani celebrities.
Pakistani singer Shae Gill amassed a wide fan following in India, especially after the 'Pasoori' fever took over. Unlike several Pakistani artists whose Instagram profiles seem to have been blocked in India, Shae's account continues to remain accessible to Indian followers. Taking to her Instagram story, the singer shared an anti-India post, lauding Pakistan amid the growing tension.
'God bless our armed forces Pakistan Zindabad (sic)", wrote Shae Gill. Next, she dropped another post, lauding her country's media coverage of the tension, condemning India yet again. While the reaction of Indian social media users to her post couldn't be gauged since her sentiments were expressed on her Instagram story, our country's users on X expressed their furore over Gill's anti-India posts.
Ever since the tension started, Shae Gill has been dropping posts condemning India's revenge after the ghastly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives. Indian users have been blasting her on X, urging authorities to block her account in the country. A netizen dropped a list of list of Pakistani musicians and poets and wrote that he is going to voluntarily unsubscribing their channels. 'I used to admire and enjoy their work, and I still respect their talent. But for me, the nation comes first. Our Army comes first. At a time when our soldiers are protecting our borders, I find it difficult to support voices that openly praise Pakistan on social media. I've noticed that many fellow Indians still follow them, even after requests from our government to disengage. I urge you to reflect: Nation First. Always," read the X post. Another user urged the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in India to block Gill's account.
For the unversed, the Instagram accounts of several top Pakistani actors, including Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir and Sajal Aly, have been blocked in India. Other celebrities affected by the action include Ali Zafar, Ayeza Khan, Sanam Saeed, Maya Ali, and Iqra Aziz Hussain, who enjoy a wide fan following in India. Indian users attempting to access the accounts are met with a message stating: 'Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content."

Ed Sheeran on his friendship with 'most talented' Arijit Singh: I'm so grateful he shared his talent with me

Ed Sheeran has shared a heartfelt story of his recent musical collaboration with Arijit Singh, calling him 'one of the most talented humans' he's ever met. In a detailed Instagram post, the British singer spoke of how he first discovered Arijit's music through 'Tum Hi Ho' from the film 'Aashiqui 2', and was immediately spellbound. Sheeran said he reached out to Arijit years ago and expressed his desire to collaborate. He wrote, 'i first became aware of @arijitsingh music when i watched Aashiqui 2 and heard Tum Hi Ho. I was proper spellbound by his voice, the song, the scene in the movie." He continued, "I checked him out, and got in touch, and said whenever you wanna sing together i'm down. he was playing london, so i went to guest with him and sing Perfect there, it was an incredible show. I played him an early version of Sapphire in the dressing room, and he instantly had ideas for instruments and melodies.' Sheeran revealed that he and Arijit exchanged ideas over email before meeting in person in India while Sheeran was on tour with his father. 'We then were pen pals over email for a bit, until I was in India for tour. I said to him, we should finish this in person, and he said, please come to my home town so I can show you my home and culture," he wrote. Ed continued, "I was with my dad on tour, which is a rarity to get so much one on one time with him. Me and him got a flight to Kolkata, then a 5 and a half hour drive to his home town. We arrived, went on a barge down the river which was stunning, then got a scooty back to the studio where we finished the song,' wrote the 'Galway Girl' hitmaker. The experience was personal for Sheeran, who called it a 'core memory' he'll always cherish with his father. He added, 'Arijit taught me Punjabi and how to pronounce it all properly, and showed me Sitar. We then had dinner, and scooted around the village to see the sunset and moon with my dad. was a proper core memory i'll always cherish with my father, and i'm honoured to have created in this way with Arijit.' 'He's one of the most talented humans ive ever met, and i'm so grateful he shared his talent with me for this song. The full Punjabi version we recorded will be out in a couple of weeks, but until then I'll be drip-feeding fun videos from our time together. enjoy,' Sheeran added, closing his message with deep admiration for Arijit. Listen to 'Sapphire' here: The Punjabi version of their song will be released in the coming weeks. Until then, Sheeran plans to share videos from their time together.

Sydney Sweeney Gained 14 Kg For Boxer Christy Martin: ‘My B*obs Got Bigger, Bu*t Got Huge'

Last Updated: The film, directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Mirrah Foulkes, will chronicle the rise and turbulent life of Christy Martin. Sydney Sweeney is going through a complete physical transformation for her next big role. The Euphoria star, who will portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic, revealed in a new W Magazine cover story that she gained more than 14 kg (over 30 pounds) during training. 'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training," Sweeney said. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour." Her body, she said, underwent a dramatic shift. 'I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My b*obs got bigger. And my bu*t got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god," Sweeney admitted, adding that despite the changes, she felt incredibly empowered: 'But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney) The film, directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Mirrah Foulkes, will chronicle the rise and turbulent life of Christy Martin, one of the most recognised female boxers of the 1990s. Martin held the WBC women's super welterweight title and became a symbol of grit and survival after she survived a brutal attempted murder by her husband, James Martin, in 2010.

'Over the past few months, I've been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman — a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring," she wrote, adding, 'Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope." The upcoming biopic stars Ben Foster as James Martin, alongside Merritt Wever, Katy O'Brian, Ethan Embry, Jess Gabor, Chad L. Coleman, and Tony Cavalero.

Marines chopper spotted in Los Angeles? Video surfaces amid reports of fresh deployment

A video circulating on social media showed a helicopter, resembling the Marine chopper, flying over Los Angeles as citywide anti-ICE protests continued on Monday. However, neither President Donald Trump nor the White House have confirmed if the force was deployed. National Guard troops were deployed in LA over the weekend. This comes as CNN cited three sources to report that roughly 500 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests. The publication further added that the Marines will join the National Guard troops. ABC News cited an official to report a much higher number. The network reported that 700 marines have been ordered to assist in Los Angeles and they're expected to arrive over the next 24 hours. The media outlet said that the Marines are from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, who US Northern Command had said Sunday were on a 'prepared to deploy status'. President Donald Trump was meanwhile asked if he planned on sending Marines to LA. "We'll see what happens. I mean, I think we have it very well under control. I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction,' he said on Monday.
