‘Still shaking': Canada journalist alleges assault by Khalistanis, shares ordeal
Investigative journalist Mocha Bezirgan says he was 'surrounded and threatened' by a group of Khalistan supporters and briefly had his phone snatched while filming their weekend rally in downtown Vancouver. 'It just happened two hours ago and I'm still shaking,' Bezirgan told news agency ANI in a phone interview. 'They acted like thugs - crowding in on me, grabbing my phone, trying to stop me recording.' Bezirgan, who has gained a following for documenting Khalistani demonstrations across Canada, the United States, Britain and New Zealand, said an agitator who has previously harassed him online led Sunday's confrontation. 'All of a sudden I had two or three people up in my face. I started a backup recording on my phone; that's when one of them yanked it out of my hand,' he said. Vancouver police officers nearby intervened, ordering the man to back off. Bezirgan later filed a statement; no arrests were immediately announced. The journalist added that the same individual continued shadowing him for several blocks, including onto a SkyTrain platform. 'I had nowhere to go. It was clear intimidation,' he said, calling for the man - a British national, according to Bezirgan - to be deported. Sunday's altercation comes amid a string of attacks on reporters covering the separatist movement. In October 2024, Canadian MP Chandra Arya warned Parliament of 'growing violence faced by journalists who report on Khalistani extremism,' citing assaults on broadcasters Rishi Nagar, Sameer Kaushal and others, and noting that Bezirgan himself had received death threats

Sonali Bendre admits she wasn't ‘fond' of Salman Khan, says his caring side emerged during her cancer battle: ‘He made two trips to New York…'
Actress Sonali Bendre was diagnosed with stage four metastatic cancer in 2018. She has been candid about her recovery journey, including undergoing treatment in New York and Mumbai. Recently, Sonali revealed that her Hum Saath Saath Hain co-star Salman Khan was a major source of support after the diagnosis — from visiting her in New York to regularly checking in through her husband. She also recalled that during their shoot for the 1999 Sooraj Barjatya film, she wasn't particularly fond of Salman. In an interview with ANI, Sonali recalled their early days and said, 'There are two sides to Salman. You can either love him or you will hate him. And at that point of time, I was not fond of him. When I was doing Hum Saath Saath Hain, I have had my close-ups that we are doing when he's standing behind the camera and making faces at me. But that was Salman. He's a prankster. He's like a child.' But, Salman Khan's caring side emerged years later. 'The same person who's making faces behind the camera is the same person who has made two trips maybe to New York where I'm there to see if I'm okay in my illness. He would call up and check with my husband, and say, 'Are you sure you've got the right doctors? I think you should get in touch with these doctors also,'' Sonali added. ALSO READ | 'Neelam got irritated with me after I fell on her, Salman Khan started ragging her', Mahesh Thakur recalls Hum Saath-Saath Hain shoot Sonali Bendre also spoke about living in 'denial' after her cancer diagnosis. 'I was in denial. I would actually get up in the night and feel like it's a dream. But then you wake up and realise it's not a dream, nothing has changed, it's the reality,' she shared. The actress continued, 'The thing about cancer is the treatment is so harsh, especially when you go through your regular chemotherapy and radiation and all of that. Those are so harsh. Your body is just killed from inside. And just to heal from it and get back to doing the work that I do. Our job is very physical. Not just mental, but very, very physical also. So there is no, 'I'm not up to it,' but the set is standing. The dates are there. You have to go to work. You can't say somebody else take over for me today. So I needed to really heal and then get back to it, which I have done now.' On the work front, Sonali Bendre was last seen in the second season of the ZEE5 series The Broken News.
