Vidya Balan's Funny Reel Goes Viral on Social Media
According to the reports of Onmanorama, recently Vidya Balan posted a short and funny video on her Instagram that quickly went viral.
In the video she lip-synced a well-known scene from the Malayalam comedy movie 'Punjabi House'. The scene is called the "chor" scene and is one of the favorites among Malayalam movie fans. Her impeccable timing and expressions enhanced the reel even further, and fans enjoyed how she pulled off this iconic comedy moment.
This particular scene from the film is so funny because there is a mix-up of languages. In Malayalam, "chor" is rice, but the same term is a thief in Hindi. In the original movie, the Punjabi woman is approached by comedian
Harisree Ashokan
's character for a request for rice. Due to the language difference, what was meant to be a request for rice translates to an accusation of being a thief. The misunderstanding results in a comedy of errors, which became an all-time classic scene for
Malayalam cinema

After the ban on ALTT, Ekta Kapoor lashes out in anger, 'Jise bhi iski fikr ho...'

Yesterday, the government took a big step and banned many OTT platforms serving vulgar content, one of which was ALTT. Its earlier name was ALT Balaji, whose co-founders were TV queen Ekta Kapoor and her mother, Shobha Kapoor.

What has Ekta Kapoor said? Soon after the ban on ALTT, Ekta Kapoor issued a statement expressing her anger and distancing herself from this OTT platform. She issued a statement on her Instagram account saying that she has nothing to do with ALTT anymore. She broke ties with it in 2021 itself. Ekta Kapoor's post further said, 'There are reports in the media that ALTT has been banned by the authorities; however, contrary to these reports, Ekta Kapoor and Mrs. Shobha Kapoor are not associated with ALTT in any way and they severed their ties with ALTT in June 2021 itself. Any allegation contrary to the facts stated above is strongly denied and the media is requested to present the correct facts.' While sharing a post, Ekta Kapoor wrote in the caption, 'Jise bhi iski fikr ho.' It is known that a few days ago, Ekta Kapoor had defended the content being served on ALTT in an interview. Which apps have been banned by the government? The government has mandated the shutdown of websites and applications belonging to 25 OTT platforms, such as Ullu, ALTT, and Desiflix, due to the presence of obscene, vulgar, and in certain instances, pornographic material. Among the applications flagged for breaching various regulations are ALTT, ULLU, Big Shots App, Desiflix, Boomex, Navarasa Lite, Gulab App, Kangan App, Bull App, Jalva App, ShowHit, Wow Entertainment, Look Entertainment, Hitprime, Feneo, ShowX, Sol Talkies, Adda TV, HotX VIP, Hulchul App, MoodX, NeonX VIP, Fugi, Mojflix, and Triflicks, according to officials. The ban earlier imposed on House Arrest Previously, the web series House Arrest was removed by Ullu in May following intervention from the ministry. Officials indicated that all 25 platforms were instructed, in September of the previous year, to stop disseminating obscene, vulgar, and in some cases, pornographic content, yet they persisted in doing so. They noted that five platforms, which had been blocked earlier in March 2024, resumed publishing obscene content on new website domains.
