KBC 17 Independence Day special episode: KBC 17 has come under heavy criticism online after officers Sofiya Qureshi and Vyomika Singh discussed Operation Sindoor on the show. Many viewers have labeled the episode a 'PR stunt,' questioning the way the operation was presented. The topic quickly sparked widespread debate on social media, with fans debating whether it was appropriate to feature this on an entertainment platform, or if the segment was primarily aimed at generating publicity. KBC 17 slammed as Sofiya Qureshi & Vyomika talk about OP Sindoor Highlighting the operation with exceptional bravery, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi of the Indian Army, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh of the Indian Air Force, and Commander Prerna Deosthalee of the Indian Navy are set to share key moments, as revealed in KBC's Independence Day promo. Following the release of the promo, KBC 17 faced criticism from viewers who felt that a significant event was being overly exploited. One viewer commented, 'Now they are serving political interests rather than the National narrative.' Army officers in uniform going to KBC to talk about Op Sindoor with Amitabh something like this ever happened before? So what?Even victims wife will go in big boss Our patriotism is being reduced to a spectacle. One day, we hear about Himanshi Narwal, wife of a Navy officer martyred in Pahalgam being approached by Bigg Boss. Now, female defence officers are being called to KBC. 🤦🏻‍♀️ "We were expecting a whole war movie… but this was just a KBC episode 😅 Highlight? The officer's filmy twist — 'the bullets hit my pocket, struck the coins, and I survived' 😂 Now the real contest: who's serving bigger Bollywood drama, Colonel Safiya or Pocket Coins Hero? Another added, 'Our patriotism is being reduced to a spectacle. One day, we hear about Himanshi Narwal, wife of a Navy officer martyred in Pahalgam, being approached by Bigg Boss. Now, female defence officers are being called to KBC.' However, some viewers expressed support for the initiative. One noted, 'This is a commendable initiative. Every Indian should know how we have responded to our adversaries and what we are capable of doing. It instills a sense of safety among the people. India takes great pride in its armed forces.' Another added, 'Good. Finally, real heroes are taking center stage.' Good. Finally, real heroes are taking center stage. Nothing wrong in it ..... Sofiya Qureshi talks about Operation Sindoor She stated that Pakistan had been carrying out such actions for years, and it was necessary to respond, which led to the planning of Operation Sindoor. Wing Commander Vyomika Singh added that the operation was completed swiftly, explaining that between 1:05 am and 1:30 am, they ended the adversary's actions in just 25 minutes. When to watch KBC 17 Independence Day special episode?

Suspected honour killing victim from Gujarat cracks NEET

PALANPUR: An 18-year-old girl from Gujarat, who was a victim of suspected honour killing, has cracked the highly competitive National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), a police official said on Wednesday. The teen from Banaskantha district was allegedly killed by her father and two uncles on June 24 at her native village, said Danta division Assistant Superintendent of Police Suman Nala. To prepare for the all-India medical entrance exam, the victim had moved to Palanpur town, and during that time, she got into a live-in relationship with a man. 'She had given NEET a few months back, but it is still unclear if she wanted to become a doctor or a nurse. As per the results announced recently, she has cleared the test with good marks,' said Nala. Based on a complaint submitted by her live-in partner Haresh Chaudhary, the Tharad police in the district on August 6 booked the girl's father Sendhabhai Patel and uncle Shivrambhai Patel for the murder, as they were against the relationship, Nala said. After the registration of FIR, police had arrested Shivrambhai and added the name of one Naran Patel to the FIR as co-accused, said the official. 'We arrested Naran Patel on Tuesday. He is a cousin of Shivrambhai and Sendhabhai, who is still absconding,' said Nala.
