'Maine churaya nahi...': RJ Mahvash breaks silence on trolls linking her to Yuzvendra Chahal's divorce
Addressing Trolls and Rumors Head-On
Public Appearances Fueling Dating Buzz
Maintaining Silence Amid Public Intrusion
RJ and actor Mahvash has once again found herself in the middle of public scrutiny due to her rumored relationship with cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal . The speculation intensified after Chahal's divorce from Dhanashree Verma earlier this year, with Mahvash being linked to the breakup. The controversy reignited following a recent video she posted online discussing what constitutes cheating in a relationship—prompting backlash and fresh trolling from social media users.In her Instagram video, Mahvash addressed various forms of infidelity, stating that engaging in certain behaviors while in a relationship amounts to cheating. In a detailed caption accompanying the post, she emphasized that people who betray their partners often repeat the pattern. According to her, those individuals tend to carry their actions into future relationships as well, failing to understand the value of genuine love. She urged her followers to leave such partners behind, describing them as emotionally unhealthy.Mahvash further shared her own experience of forgiving a former partner multiple times. She admitted that doing so only led to more emotional pain. She stressed that no one should tolerate repeated disrespect and that it's better to move on than to stay with someone incapable of change. Her message to those affected by betrayal was direct: recognize the red flags early, and don't allow yourself to be emotionally worn down.A particular comment under Mahvash's post accused her of 'stealing someone's husband,' clearly alluding to her rumored link with Chahal. In response, she wrote that she hadn't stolen anyone's husband, so she wouldn't know—but affirmed that doing so would indeed be cheating. 'Maine churaya nahi islye I wouldn't know but yes kisika pati churana CHEATING."Mahvash's comments appeared to indirectly respond to online chatter suggesting she was responsible for Chahal and Dhanashree's split. The remark 'kisika pati churana cheating hota hai' (stealing someone's husband is cheating) was interpreted by some as a counter to Dhanashree's previous cryptic posts.Despite neither party confirming the relationship, Mahvash and Chahal have been spotted together on multiple occasions. They were seen attending the Champions Trophy final in Dubai and were also spotted during IPL events. At one point, Mahvash was seen on the Punjab Kings team bus with other WAGs, further adding to the speculation. These instances occurred both before and after Chahal's divorce was finalized, leading many to link the timeline of their association with the breakdown of his marriage.Adding to the buzz, fellow cricketer Rishabh Pant jokingly commented on Chahal's 'engagement' during a YouTube video, prompting even more curiosity from fans.While Mahvash has been vocal in defending herself against allegations and speaking on broader issues like self-worth and infidelity, she and Chahal have consistently refrained from confirming or denying their relationship. The lack of clarity has only allowed speculation to flourish.Meanwhile, Mahvash recently appeared in the web series Pyaar Paisa Profit, which also stars Pratik Yadav, Ashish Raghav, Shivangi Khedkar, and Neil Bhoopalam, and is available for streaming on MX Player.

Shahid Kapoor enjoys a cricket day out at Lord's in London, wife Mira Rajput cheers for him. See pics
Actor Shahid Kapoor took to social media to share some pictures of an exciting cricket day at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London, where he was joined by his wife Mira Rajput in the stands cheering for him. The images of Shahid Kapoor playing cricket reminded his fans of his film, Jersey. Shahid's cricket adventure at Lord's Cricket Ground Late on Wednesday, Shahid took to Instagram to share a delightful photo dump from his fun-filled day at London's iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. In the images, Shahid is seen wearing cricket shoes and donning a white jersey, complete with proper cricketing gear, as he took to the pitch at Lord's Cricket Ground for a friendly match. The actor's enthusiasm was palpable as he showcased his cricketing skills. Several photos of him in action soon made their way onto social media, giving fans a glimpse into his day out. Mira was also with Shahid, cheering for him from the stands. One of the pictures features Shahid beaming with pride alongside his wife Mira Rajput, who's stylishly dressed in white. Sharing some images, Shahid wrote as a caption, 'What a day!' Some pictures on the official Instagram page of Lord's Cricket Ground, writing, 'An absolute privilege to have @shahidkapoor playing at the Home of Cricket today!' Fans react The images of Shahid playing cricket reminded his fans of his film, Jersey. The sports drama, a remake of the Telugu film of the same name, narrated the story of a former cricketer who returns to the game in his mid-30s to fulfil his son's wish. The film was released in 2022, but failed to make an impact at the box office. 'Looks like the last slide is from movie jersey,' one wrote, with another sharing, 'Jersey movie in real life.' "Mid night mini mid attack by Shahid to his fans,' one comment read. Another social media shared, 'Oh my god, you totally boosted my midweek mood Mr. Handsome Kapoor.' 'Shahid is the best fit for virat's biopic,' one wrote. Shahid's upcoming project At the moment, Shahid is busy shooting for his upcoming movie, Arjun Ustara. Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film also stars Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, and Randeep Hooda in key roles, with Vikrant Massey in a special appearance. The film is slated for a December release this year. Meanwhile, some days back, filmmaker Amit Rai shared that his historical drama on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, starring Shahid Kapoor, has been shelved.

Sitaare Zameen Par to release on YouTube on August 1, six weeks after theatrical release: Is Aamir Khan saving cinema, or replacing it?
A couple of weeks before the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, when members of the media met Aamir Khan, a camera crew perennially chased him even when he went about doing regular chores inside his Mumbai office. We also spotted that crew at the launch of PVR INOX's Aamir Khan Film Festival and his 60th birthday celebration. We were told it's to record footage for the content on Aamir Khan Talkies, a new subsidiary YouTube channel of Aamir Khan Productions. Across the next few weeks, there were exclusive throwback interviews and discussions with Ashutosh Gowariker (on Lagaan) and Vir Das and Abhinay Deo (on Delhi Belly). There was also the much-concealed Aamir audition for Ravi Kishan's role in Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies. Aamir covered all major YouTube channel while promoting Sitaare Zameen Par. Given his firm stand on signing any streaming rights deal for the film, we had to ask him then: 'Will it come out on YouTube?' Aamir firmly said no, and claimed that it'd come on a digital platform or satellite television only a year after the theatrical release. Cut to two months later: Aamir on Tuesday announced Sitaare Zameen Par would indeed skip streaming to premiere on Aamir Khan Talkies on a pay-per-view model. 'Watch a superhit film for just Rs 100,' screamed the hoarding in his background, as he even apologized to the media for lying to them about the film not premiering on YouTube after its theatrical run. 'I've grown up on cinema. Cinema has given me everything. So I had to lie in order to protect the cinema then,' Aamir confessed. But by introducing this 'disruptive' pay-per-view model on YouTube, is Aamir really saving cinema or replacing it? He claims he's been perturbed by the fact that Hindi cinema is reaching only a minor fraction of the humongous Indian population, and has been looking for a solution for the past 15 years. YouTube, in comparison, enjoys a massive reach making the cinema accessible to all corners of the country. He cited how the platform is used by 55 crore Indians at least once a day while only 2-3% of the population goes to theatres. But another section of the entertainment industry feels Aamir is not taking the easy way out, but just moving with the times. 'If you can democratize content, while making it conveniently accessible, then what's the harm?,' says a budding YouTuber, adding, 'Aamir is just asking you to look at cinema differently. Going to a theatre is for the elite now. His films would still go to the theatres first. But those who're not fond of going to the cinemas or can't afford it, he's servicing to them too, through YouTube.' If digital is bound to replace the moviegoing experience, then why is there so much hullabaloo around cinemas disappearing post pandemic thanks to the growing appetite and access to streaming? Aamir himself has championed cinemas by not subscribing to the streaming model, which entails a film dropping on the platform eight weeks after its theatrical release. Aamir argued that while he's not against the OTT industry, the eight-week window didn't suit him as it makes the audience less inclined to step out for a theatre visit. But industry insiders claim Aamir circumventing the eight-week-window diktat of streaming via YouTube also has to do with the economics of the arrangement. 'Actually, why Aamir sahab is going for YouTube is after Laapataa Ladies didn't work in theatres and most of the money it made on streaming went to Netflix,' says PS Ramanathan, who looks into the distribution and marketing of Rajshri Films. That's another production house which has been building its YouTube presence with the help of nostalgic interviews with character actors. It's also made shows for TV and streaming. However, its mainstay still remains cinema. 'In a pay-per-view model, you pay Rs 100 for every viewing (a film on Aamir Khan Talkies can be stored for a month, but has to be watched within 48 hours once you begin watching). So it's like appointment viewing or dedicated viewing as opposed to a subscription fees to a streaming platform, which includes a bouquet of other content from around the globe. The Rs 100 then goes directly into the pocket of Aamir Khan Productions. But ultimately, it depends on the film — would someone pay even Rs 100 to watch a film at home?,' adds Ramanathan. He quotes the most recent instances of Mohit Suri's romantic drama Saiyaara, which like Sitaare Zameen Par, is a mid-budget, middle-of-the-road film. After action epics took over, romance was relegated to streaming post pandemic. But what Sitaare Zameen Par, a light-hearted coming-of-age film achieved, Saiyaara took that to another level at the box office. Unlike in the case of the former, one can clearly see from the poster of Saiyaara that it'd drop on Netflix India eight weeks after its theatrical run. But the shows are still running full, with the film having collected over Rs 266 crore at the domestic box office already. The Netflix logo on the poster of Laapataa Ladies is what both Aamir and PVR INOX Managing Director Ajay Bijli suspected as the reason why the film didn't achieve a theatrical business like Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 12th Fail did the previous year. Like Aamir did for Sitaare Zameen Par, Chopra didn't sell the digital rights of 12th Fail to any platform till weeks after its theatrical release. Yet the collection kept rising in theatres even when the film dropped on Hotstar. 'Ultimately, it depends on how good the film is. If it's a bad film, nobody would watch it even for free in the convenience of their home. The movie should speak for itself. If it's a good film, people would watch it either in cinemas or on YouTube or on streaming for any cost,' says Akshaye Rathi, Director at Vidharbha Exhibitors. He feels the footprint of YouTube is far bigger than any individual OTT platform, so it's a win-win for both the audience and the producers who want to avoid the eight-week window that streaming imposes. But not every producer is as influential as Aamir or Chopra. 'If you go for YouTube, it would disturb your entire cashflow distribution,' argues Ramanathan. Streaming is the second biggest revenue vertical for most films these days, followed by theatrical. Many films, big and small, primarily rely on that revenue to break even and take risks with a theatrical run. Ultimately, it all comes down to the economics. For instance, Kamal Haasan promised to sidestep the four-week window for Tamil films with his new crime thriller Thug Life. But when the film bombed in theatres, Netflix India dropped its price, compelling the makers to release it earlier than planned to cover the losses. Aamir had to do it too with Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022. During the promotions, he put it on record that the film wouldn't release on streaming before six months since its theatrical outing. But after the movie failed in cinemas, he had to release it on Netflix India earlier than scheduled. That's where it got immense love and redemption, and so did Laapataa Ladies. Like it was with SS Rajamouli's RRR in 2022, the film got immense love across the world after it came out on OTT. By owning the complete rights of his upcoming films instead of selling them to streaming platforms, Aamir also has the bragging rights of singlehandedly taking India to the Oscars, like he once did with Lagaan back in 2002. 'One can't challenge the intent of Aamir. Even if he wants to take all the credit, he does want Indian cinema to reach both the country's masses and the audience across the globe. Like in the case of Satyamev Jayate, he already had StarPlus onboard, but he made sure the show is telecast on Doordarshan simultaneously because its reach was far wider then. Complete ownership just drives his creative instincts,' says a former employee of Aamir Khan Productions. However, another insider informs SCREEN that Aamir is even contemplating to release some of his smaller films directly on Aamir Khan Talkies, even skipping the theatrical release. While he'll save the tentpole ones like Sunny Deol's Lahore 1947 and Junaid Khan's Ek Din for the cinemas, Vir Das' Happy Patel may find a home on YouTube instead. With some streaming platforms making theatrical run a metric to set the price, cinemas retain their relevance. Also, if a Sitaare Zameen Par can drop on digital just six weeks after its theatrical release, even less than the eight-week window of streaming, would the YouTube model not be used arbitrarily for recovery? 'If that's the plan, then how are we saving cinemas then? I miss the Aamir Khan of Dhobi Ghaat (2010) days who would sneak in a role in an indie film instead of making the film all about himself. Of course, it's a partnership with YouTube so there must be other commercials involved. He has to turn every simple move into a revolution in order to sell it, which just evades me,' says an industry insider. Also Read — Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, Traitors, IPL, Kapil Sharma: How streaming is replicating television, the very beast it wanted to tame But trade experts like Rathi and Ramanathan feel Aamir will need YouTube's full support to institutionalize his distribution model, not just for marketing and positioning, but also for curbing piracy. 'My biggest concern is piracy. It's anyway so rampant, and a new film releasing on YouTube would make it even more prone. Streaming platforms have sound mechanisms in place to prevent piracy, but that's not the case with YouTube so far,' says Rathi. Ramanathan agrees and adds, 'This is a very new model. So it's hard to say if it'd work. I feel at best, it'd be a substitute to the streaming model, not a replacement.'
