Zayn Malik Accuses One Direction Of Discrimination In New Track Fuschia Sea? Here's The Truth
Last Updated: Zayn Malik's new lyrics hint at racial discrimination within One Direction, sparking outrage and support. Fans react to powerful lines from his track Fuschia Sea. Zayn Malik is finally breaking his silence — not through an interview, but through his music. The former One Direction member, who left the band on March 25, 2015, has ignited powerful conversations with the release of lyrics from his upcoming song, Fuschia Sea. Posted on Instagram to his 53.4 million followers, the emotionally charged verses delve deep into the pain, identity struggles, and racial dynamics that surrounded his time in the globally beloved boy band. One striking lyric from the song has especially caught the internet's attention: 'Cause I worked hard in a white band and they still laughed at the Asian." This rare, unfiltered line from Malik directly alludes to his years in One Direction — his only known musical group — and hints at racial alienation he may have felt as the sole member of South Asian descent. The lyric has sparked an outpouring of support online, with fans calling for a long-overdue apology and reckoning. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, 'Zayn Malik deserves the BIGGEST apology from the world like RIGHT NOW," while another commented, 'YES Zayn Malik speak up. These few lines have more weight and artistry than One Direction's entire discography." Another verse deepens the introspection: 'Left a blue mark on a white flag. Then used blood for the painting. If my grandad could go back, lad, there's a fat chance of a backhand." It's a poetic yet raw reference to the generational weight of identity, legacy, and emotional trauma. Malik appears to contrast his own experiences with the expectations and sacrifices of those before him. As the lyrics continue, Malik reflects on fatherhood, his life with ex-partner Gigi Hadid, and raising their daughter, Khai. He reveals a profound sense of alienation, rapping: 'Just a young man with his own kid and a wife now, in a new land… I never felt shame like Mufasa, my brother. If it's all just a game or a class, then I shudder." These lines paint a picture of a man coming to terms with the price of fame and the isolation it brought. The emotional release has also reignited discussions about the longstanding tensions between Malik and his former bandmates—Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne—and the role that the pressures of the industry may have played in the fracture. While there have been murmurs of a One Direction reunion following Liam Payne's recent passing, no official plans have been confirmed. For now, Fuschia Sea is shaping up to be Zayn's most vulnerable and powerful project yet — a reclamation of his voice, his truth, and his identity. First Published: July 06, 2025, 14:21 IST

Chinmayi Supports Ranbir Kapoor's Casting In Ramayana Amid Backlash For Being 'Beef Eater'
Curated By : Last Updated: July 06, 2025, 08:28 IST Chinmay defends Ranbir Kapoor's casting in Ramayana. Singer Chinmayi Sripaada has come forward to defend Ranbir Kapoor amid growing online backlash over his casting as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film Ramayana. The criticism erupted after the film's first glimpse, featuring Ranbir and Yash, was released recently. Soon after, a section of social media users began targeting Ranbir by resurfacing an old interview where he mentioned consuming beef. The trolls started questioning his suitability to portray a revered mythological figure. Responding to the outrage, Chinmayi called out the selective morality of such attacks and urged people to focus on real issues rather than personal choices from the past. Chinmayi slammed the hypocrisy and wrote without naming anyone, 'A babaji who uses the name of God can be a rapist and he can keep getting parole to get votes in bhakt India – however what someone eats is a big problem." Check out her post here: A babaji who uses the name of God can be a rapist and he can keep getting parole to get votes in bhakt India – however what someone eats is a big problem. Chinmayi Sripaada (@Chinmayi) July 4, 2025 When a user questioned her stance by asking, 'How one bad thing can justify another bad thing?", Chinmayi hit back sharply. She responded, 'Nice. So someone playing a ROLE is the same 'bad' as a rapist campaigning for votes amongst you. You deserve to have Ram Rahim as your local MP and visit your house personally." A wave of backlash had earlier erupted online after a section of social media users resurfaced an old interview in which Ranbir Kapoor admitted to consuming beef. This was in response to the recent reveal of his role as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. One post on X (formerly Twitter) read, 'Beef eater will be playing the role of Bhagvan Ram now! 🤦 What's wrong with Bollywood?"—accompanied by images of Ranbir and Sai Pallavi from the film's set. Despite the online backlash, Ramayana, helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, remains one of the most highly anticipated Indian films. On July 3, India witnessed a groundbreaking rollout in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Kochi, simultaneously unveiled the first look of Ramayana: The Introduction. Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Raavan, Ramayana is planned as a two-part film. The first part is set to release in theatres on Diwali 2026, followed by the second part on Diwali 2027. As per reports, the first instalment will end with the Sita Haran episode, though this hasn't been officially confirmed yet.

Hansal Mehta questions the efficacy of formulaic film promotions: 'Is it really success or just an illusion?'
Veteran filmmaker Hansal Mehta has sparked a timely conversation about the changing nature of film and series promotions, questioning whether the current publicity playbook truly serves the art or simply feeds a superficial perception of success. Mehta took to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle to express concern over the repetitive and formulaic approach to promoting films and web series. Without singling out any particular film, actor, or campaign, the Scam 1992 director highlighted how the industry has adopted a generic promotional template—where the same set of actors make rounds on identical platforms, answer the same questions, and appear at city events with little variety or genuine engagement. 'Do these generic, template promotions for films and series actually work? Do they make people watch? Do they make the film/series any better? Or do they simply sustain an ecosystem built on illusion—PR agencies, costume designers, event planners, influencers, sponsors, red carpets, press conferences, paid 'reviews', social media fluff. It all looks like success,' Mehta wrote in his post. He further pointed out how the machinery of promotions now seems more focused on maintaining visibility and popularity, rather than letting the film's merit drive audience interest. 'It feels like popularity. But is it? Shouldn't a good trailer stir curiosity? Shouldn't compelling promo units and—most importantly—a good film or series be enough?' Mehta questioned. In a climate where promotional events are increasingly used to flood social media with visual buzz and influencer endorsements, Mehta's observations strike a chord with many in the industry who are seeking more authentic forms of outreach. 'Instead, we're stuck watching the same actors answer the same 10 questions on the same podcasts in the same studios, flying from one city to another, chasing a perception,' he added. Concluding his reflective post, Mehta wrote, 'This isn't a rant—it's a question: What's the best way to promote a story today without becoming part of a machinery that serves neither the art nor the artist?' Known for his candid views and artistic integrity, Hansal Mehta is acclaimed for films like Shahid, Aligarh, Faraaz, Chhalaang, and the critically acclaimed series Scam 1992. His recent film The Buckingham Murders also drew attention for its mature storytelling and international narrative approach. Mehta's observations have reignited a broader discussion within the film fraternity about the relevance and return-on-investment of large-scale promotions. As storytelling continues to evolve across streaming platforms and theatres, industry stakeholders may need to reconsider whether traditional promotional strategies remain effective or have become outdated spectacles with diminishing impact. In an era where audiences often form opinions based on content quality rather than media buzz, Mehta's questions are a timely reminder to prioritize storytelling over spectacle.
