Kangana Ranaut hails government's OTT ban to protect culture and youth
Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has voiced strong support for the Centre's recent crackdown on OTT platforms accused of streaming sexually explicit content. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) has directed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block public access to 25 such platforms, including Ullu, ALTT, Desiflix, and others like Big Shots App, Boomex, Kangan App, and Mojflix. Kangana, known for her outspoken views, lauded the move as necessary to safeguard Indian cultural values and the well-being of future generations. 'In order to preserve the overall culture of our country and the future path of our youngsters, and so that our society does not collapse completely, this step was much awaited and is now much appreciated,' she said. 'The action taken against these apps, especially the illegal ones, is highly appreciated.' The blocked platforms were reportedly in violation of multiple Indian laws, including Section 67 and 67A of the Information Technology Act, 2000; Section 294 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023; and Section 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986. The government has also requested the Department of Telecommunications to ensure swift compliance by the ISPs in disabling these platforms. This decision follows a petition filed in the Supreme Court earlier this year seeking a ban on sexually explicit content on OTT and social media platforms. While the Supreme Court stated that it was not within its domain to act, it emphasized the need for executive intervention—prompting the present move. Ranaut's endorsement adds weight to the cultural debate surrounding digital content regulation in India.

Zareen Khan gives a befitting REPLY to ageist troll telling her to get married: 'Kya shaadi karne ke baad…'
Actress Zareen Khan recently gave a savage and witty reply to an ageist troll who left a rude comment on one of her Instagram posts. The troll wrote, 'Shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho' (Get married, you're getting old). But Zareen wasn't having it. Instead of ignoring the comment, she chose to respond in a smart and sharp video on Instagram, where she openly mocked the logic behind it. Her response was bold, hilarious, and thought-provoking—all at once. Zareen's savage reply In the video, Zareen said she had come across a comment that stood out more than the rest. She shared, 'Lately maine comments read kiye apne posts pe. Aur ek comment hai jo bohot zyada stand out kiya- 'Shaadi kar lo buddhi ho rahi ho.' Toh kya shaadi karne ke baad main fir se jawan ho jaungi? What does this even mean? (laughs).' Society's obsession with marriage Zareen didn't stop there. She went on to highlight how marriage is often treated as the answer to everything in life, especially in Indian society. She said, 'I don't know if this mindset exists only in our country or if it's a universal problem, but somehow marriage seems to be the ultimate solution for everything.' She questioned why people rush to suggest marriage as a fix for every personal or social issue. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologists: 1 Teaspoon of This Before Bed Melts Belly Fat Like Crazy Hollywood News | USA Click Here Undo And why, especially for women, being unmarried is seen as a problem that must be 'solved'. When people aren't doing much… Zareen then spoke about how families often use marriage as a solution when someone isn't doing anything productive in life. She explained, 'If someone is not working of doing anything productive in life, the family's go-to solution is: 'Get them married.' I mean, how is that a solution? A person who can't even take responsibility for their own life — you want to add another person to that mess? Then they'll end up ruining not only their own life but the other person's too. So I don't think this would work.' She says independent girls get judged too Zareen also called out how society fears independent women. She said, 'And if a boy or girl is becoming too independent, or 'out of control' as they say in our society, the parents' biggest fear is: 'She's slipping out of our hands.' And again, the fix is: 'Get her married'.' Marriage is not magic Taking a dig at the way marriage is treated like a miracle cure, Zareen asked the question, 'Is marriage some kind of magic? Like once you're married, everything will just fall into place? Because from what I see these days, most marriages don't even last beyond 2–3 months. So no, I definitely don't think marriage is the solution to every problem.' Her career began with 'Veer' Zareen Khan made her debut in 2010 with Salman Khan 's period drama 'Veer'. Before entering Bollywood, she was working as a makeup artist. Her career started on a high note, but things got tough when people began comparing her to Katrina Kaif . Even though the comparisons affected her career, she continued working in the industry. Her last appearance was in the 2021 film 'Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele'.

'Harmony in Diversity: Promoting Cultural Exchange Through Music'
Music serves as a universal language that transcends borders, fostering cultural exchange by connecting people through shared rhythms, melodies, and emotions. It acts as a bridge, allowing individuals from diverse backgrounds to explore and appreciate each other's traditions, values, and histories. Festivals, concerts, and collaborative performances bring artists and audiences together, creating spaces for dialogue and mutual understanding. For instance, genres like jazz, reggae, or classical music have evolved through cross-cultural influences, blending distinct styles to create something new and unifying. By sharing music, communities celebrate their unique identities while embracing the richness of global diversity, promoting empathy and harmony in an increasingly interconnected world. The initiative "Harmony in Diversity: Promoting Cultural Exchange Through Music" has earned global acclaim for its innovative approach to uniting diverse musical traditions, particularly between India and Norway. Praised by outlets like The Guardian and BBC Culture as a "powerful symbol of cross-cultural dialogue," it has been lauded by UNESCO and the Norwegian Culture Centre for fostering artistic collaboration and mutual respect. Audiences on X have celebrated the emotional resonance of performances blending Indian ragas with Norwegian orchestral elements, calling them 'a celebration of humanity's shared spirit.' Musicians and cultural leaders alike commend the initiative, led by figures like Shahroz Ali Khan, for creating a groundbreaking platform that transcends borders and sets a model for global cultural unity through upcoming concerts in Delhi and Norway Elizaveta Agrafenina: The Norwegian Soprano Building Bridges Between Cultures Through Music In a vibrant celebration of musical diplomacy, the distinguished Norwegian soprano is emerging as a beacon of cultural harmony, seamlessly uniting East and West through her artistry. Her voice, often praised as 'enchanting, resonant, and profoundly moving,' captivates global audiences, weaving together centuries-old traditions with a timeless grace that transcends borders. Born in Yaroslavl, Russia, and nurtured in Norway, her musical journey began with early choral and solo performances, followed by a youthful exploration of rock and metal before embracing her true passion for classical music. Her refined skills, honed at prestigious institutions like the Sibelius Academy in Finland, the University of Agder in Norway, and the Conservatory of Amsterdam under esteemed mentors such as Sasja Hunnego, Pierre Mak, and Jan-Paul Grijpink, have solidified her reputation as a luminous talent fostering cross-cultural unity. Since her operatic debut in 2010 as Belinda in Dido and Aeneas, the soprano has portrayed iconic roles such as Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro, Despina in Così fan tutte, Fenena in Nabucco, and the dual role of Sandmännchen/Taumann in Hansel und Gretel. Her performances with the Young Artist Program at Bergen National Opera, alongside the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Edvard Grieg Vocal Ensemble, have established her as a leading voice of her generation. Beyond opera, the soprano shines in chamber music and Lied, interpreting works by composers like Grieg, Shostakovich, Schoenberg, and Weinberg. Her performances have graced prestigious venues such as Muziekgebouw (Netherlands), Grieghallen (Norway), and the Helsinki Music Centre, under conductors like Masaaki Suzuki, Frédéric Chaslin, Ed Spanjaard, and Matthew Rowe. A New Cultural Chapter: India Meets Norway Through Music In a recent milestone for cross-cultural collaboration, Mr. Shahroz Ali Khan, in partnership with the Norwegian Culture Centre and cultural advisors Jon Vikan and Olga Vikan, organized a visit to the soprano's performance in Norway. The delegation, including Indian celebrities and media personalities, was warmly welcomed, and the performance left a profound impact. This event marks a significant moment, as it reflects growing Indian interest in Norwegian classical music and European musical traditions. 'It's heartening to see Indian culture embracing and enjoying European classical music so naturally,' said Shahroz Ali Khan. 'This is a strong symbol of cultural exchange and just the beginning.' Mr. Khan announced an upcoming collaborative concert featuring Indian and Norwegian artists, set to take place in Delhi later this year, with a reciprocal performance in Norway the following month. These events aim to harmonize diverse musical traditions, fostering deeper artistic partnerships between the two nations. 'This initiative is not just about music—it's about unity, mutual respect, and building cultural bridges,' he added. Through her artistry, the soprano continues to inspire, weaving a global tapestry of collaboration, creativity, and shared human experience. A Melodic Ambassador of Cultural Harmony: Elizaveta Agrafenina Elizaveta Agrafenina, the Norwegian soprano, is a shining example of music's power to transcend borders and unite cultures. With her enchanting voice and captivating stage presence, she has been building bridges between East and West, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of diverse musical traditions. Elizaveta's commitment to fostering cultural harmony is truly inspiring. She is a role model for aspiring musicians and a testament to the power of music to bring people together. Her performances are a reminder that, despite our differences, we can come together and appreciate the beauty of our shared human experience. Elizaveta Agrafenina is a luminous talent, shining bright in the world of opera. Her music is a gift to audiences worldwide, and her dedication to cultural exchange is a beacon of hope for a more harmonious world. We look forward to seeing her continue to inspire and unite people through her extraordinary talent.
