From street food to nightlife, Chinese rapper Jackson Wang soaks in all things India
Mumbai, Popular singer-rapper Jackson Wang, who is on his second trip to India, says he is in the country to "observe, absorb and be inspired" by everyday lives, whether it is sampling Mumbai's street food or playing cricket on the beach with locals. Wang is in Mumbai to promote his upcoming album "Magic Man 2". He previously visited the country for a performance at Lollapalooza India in 2023. During his week-long trip, the singer said he has picked up words like 'Namaste', and 'Shukriya'. He hopes to spend the rest of his time "without a direction and destination." " I can just go out and experience it myself, and not someone trying to show me around the town. So, whatever the locals are doing, I want to just follow, observe, absorb, learn and also be inspired," Wang told PTI. The 31-year-old singer is a part of the popular K-pop group "Got7", and is credited for hits such as "Blow" and "100 Ways". Wang's new album "Magic Man 2" is a follow-up to his popular 2022 album of the same name. The singer's video of eating spicy street food like vada pav and meeting Hrithik Roshan has already gone viral on social media. His meeting with Roshan also sparked rumours of a possible collaboration on "Krrish 4". But Wang said these reports are fake. "When we're together, especially Hrithik and I, we don't talk about work. So work-related stuff is never brought up in our conversation", he said, adding that "Krrish 4" is a big movie but he is not there. Asked what all he has experienced during his short trip. Wang said, "I forgot the name, but I liked the yoghurt and the crispy ball with beans in it . I've also had a sandwich on the street with mayonnaise and cheese, and the potato ball inside the bun , I like that too. I am allergic to chilis, but I am okay with spices. I had a great time." Wang, who previously collaborated with Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh on the track "Buck", considers the actor-singer a close friend. 'We're friends , we are in shoots, and I'm a big fan of his. He shows me a lot of love, and I appreciate him as a senior, as a legendary icon. We never know when it will happen . It probably will happen," he said. With nearly a decade in music industry, Wang said he has learnt the importance of taking time off. "When I was recharging, I started writing my personal diaries, which turned into music. The The way the entire 'Magic Man 2' looks is what I felt internally, it's not based on one thing, it's everything in general. Every single song is about what and how I feel about reality, society, and humanity."

Aamir Khan Supports 'Boycott Turkey' Calls For Backing Pakistan: 'Bahut Galat Kiya'
Last Updated: Aamir Khan addressed backlash over meetings with Turkish leaders, criticising Turkey for supporting Pakistan during Op Sindoor despite India's aid during the 2023 earthquake. Turkey and Azerbaijan strained ties with India and faced boycott calls for backing Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. This was around the same time that Bollywood actor Aamir Khan's photos from his past meetings with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and First Lady Emine Erdogan emerged, leading to massive backlash. Aamir finally addressed the pictures and slammed Turkey for siding with Pakistan even after India was one of the first ones to help the country during the 2023 earthquake. Aamir Khan, who seldom makes a political comment, spoke about Turkey's alleged backing to Pakistan by supplying combat drones during Operation Sindoor. Speaking to Rajat Sharma on Aap Ki Adalat, the actor said, 'Turkey has done the wrong thing (Turkey ne bahut galat kiya), and every Indian is hurt. During the 2023 earthquake in Turkey, the Indian government was the first to send humanitarian aid. At that time, neither I nor our government knew what Turkey would do later." Khan clarified that his meetings with the Turkish leaders in 2017 and 2020 were held in good faith, at a time when there were no signs of the geopolitical shifts that would later unfold. 'When I met President Erdogan, I did not know that his country would support actions against India seven years later," he said. When asked about a viral photo of him meeting Turkish First Lady Emine Erdogan, Aamir said, 'As a public figure representing India abroad, it is customary to accept diplomatic courtesies. When invited for tea, I couldn't refuse. But let me reiterate — what Turkey has done now is completely wrong, and it has deeply hurt us. I was angry too." Aamir Khan also spoke about India's rising boycott calls for Turkey. 'They are doing the right thing. We must not support a country that is siding with those who attack us. We extended friendship during their time of need, and in return, they supported Pakistan. Bahut hi galat baat hai," he said in the same interview. All you need to know about 'Boycott Turkey and Azerbaijan' movement While the rest of the world condemned the heinous terror attack in J&K's Pahalgam on April 22, 2024, Turkey not only sided with Pakistan, but Turkish Songar drones were also deployed by the Pakistan Army to target India's military bases and civilian infrastructure. This support from Turkey came after the global condemnation of the terror attack in J&K's Pahalgam, with Turkish Songar drones being used by the Pakistan Army against India's military and civilian targets. Shiv Sena UBT MP Priyanka Chaturvedi posted a video on X, urging citizens to boycott Turkey and Azerbaijan for their support of Pakistan after the Kashmir attack. She also advised against visiting these two countries, which heavily rely on tourism, and suggested travelling to nations that support India in its fight against terrorism. First Published:

MONSTA X's Minhyuk addresses fans with heartfelt message, pens emotional apology amid dating rumours: 'I deserve the criticism'
Minhyuk, a popular South Korean singer and member of the K-pop boy band MONSTA X, recently found himself at the centre of harsh fan criticism and damaging rumours about his personal life. The idol reached out to fans directly through an emotional and heartfelt message, shared via Bubble, a private communication platform. Minhyuk responds to rumours about alleged girlfriend In a long message posted on Bubble, Minhyuk addressed dating rumours that have been circulating ever since his alleged girlfriend was made public a few months ago. Some fans had claimed that being in a relationship had made Minhyuk distant towards them. The backlash grew stronger when it was alleged that his influencer girlfriend had accompanied him on the set of an official MONSTA X video shoot. Although he didn't directly address any specific incident, fans widely understood the message as his response to the recent dating rumours and the controversy surrounding them. Idol opens up after months of silence After staying quiet for months, Minhyuk finally broke his silence and spoke about the emotional toll the situation had taken on him. Insisting that the allegations were completely false, he got emotional as he spoke about how hard things had been. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He used the Bubble platform to express deep regret for disappointing fans, especially those who were looking forward to MONSTA X's 10th anniversary celebrations. He began his apology by acknowledging how upset fans must be. 'I sincerely apologize to MONBEBE who waited for our 10th anniversary,' he wrote. He admitted he had made a mistake by not speaking up earlier. 'I believe I deserve the criticism' Minhyuk stressed that he never intended to ignore the emotions and concerns of his fans, and admitted that his hesitation may have done more harm than good. 'I believe I deserve the criticism and backlash from MONBEBE for my actions,' he continued. 'I'm truly sorry for hurting you.' 'It's becoming too much to bear' Minhyuk also opened up about his emotional state over the past three weeks, revealing the pain caused by false rumours and harsh remarks. He said he received dozens of online posts each day attacking him and accusing him of things he didn't do. 'It's incredibly frustrating,' he wrote. 'What's worse is that the criticism and hateful comments have reached my family, and although I've tried to tell myself it's part of the job, it's becoming too much for me to bear.' Unsure of how to move forward The singer also shared the uncertainty he's feeling and asked fans what would be best – should he distance himself for a while or continue to stay connected? He said he was especially hurt by the thought that his past love for fans might now seem fake. 'I've thought hard about what I can do for Monbebes right now. I believed the best I could do was to communicate sincerely, show you how I'm practicing hard and working with the members to perform well, contribute ideas for our album, and focus on being the artist I want to be. But even that seems to be misunderstood now. I'm not trying to justify myself or avoid blame. If you felt I was trying to, I'm sorry. I truly don't know what actions I should take from here,' he wrote. 'Would it help if I stepped away?' He ended the message with more questions for his fans, showing how torn he feels about what to do next. 'That's why I want to know… Not just based on what I think in my head, but what Monbebes truly want. Would it help even a little if I stopped communicating for a while and stepped away, or would that just cause more misunderstanding and make things worse? Would it be better for me to stay by your side even if it leads to new misunderstandings?' Minhyuk, who made his debut with MONSTA X in 2015, resumed his activities last October after completing his mandatory military service. Amazing story! Wow! Haha, thanks! ReplyForward
