As Munjya Turns 1, Abhay Verma Expresses Gratitude To Fans
Abhay thanked his fans and said their love was the greatest thing for him.
Abhay Verma shot to fame with the horror-comedy Munjya. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the movie also starred Sharvari in the lead role. The film proved to be a box office success with its chaotic combination of horror, humour, and a folklore-inspired monster, earning over Rs 130 crore. As Munjya completes one year on Saturday, June 7, Abhay Verma shared a special post to highlight how his life changed after the movie.
Abhay dropped a clip compilation on Instagram with his voiceover in the background. Expressing his gratitude for the film's success, he said, 'Ek saal ho gaya zindagi badle hue, Ek saal ho gaya aapko apnaye hue aur woh zindagi diye hue jiske layak mein humesha banne ki koshish karta raha hoon. (It's been a year since life changed, a year since you accepted me and gave me the life I had always wanted to be worthy of)."
The actor thanked his fans and said Munjya's success still feels like a dream. The video features unseen clips of Abhay and the team promoting the horror-comedy, working on dubbing sessions and meeting fans. There were also snippets of the awards Abhay bagged for his role.
In the caption, he wrote, '1 saal se ye realise ho raha hai aapke pyaar se badkar kuch nahi hai (In the past year, I have realised that there's nothing greater than your love)."

(Listen everyone, celebrate Munjya's birthday by eating gulab jamun!)." The caption was a reference to Munjya's love for sweets.

Cancer Survivor Defies 'Astronomical' Odds, Wins Three Lotteries in Nine Months
A Canadian man who has previously battled cancer, has defied the odds by winning three lotteries in the space of nine months, taking the total prize money to Rs 15.6 crore ($2.5 million). David Serkin, hailing from the Lethbridge area in Alberta, Canada, won $1 million on the May 3 LOTTO 6/49 Classic draw, according to the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC). "The local won $500,000 on the August 20 LOTTO MAX draw and $1 million on the November 16 LOTTO 6/49 draw. Now, the Lethbridge man has won again, another $1 million prize on the May 3 LOTTO 6/49 Classic draw," WCLC said in a press release. As per WCLC, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800, but Mr Serkin managed to overcome it, having been a longtime player of the LOTTO 6/49 since its launch in 1982. He said he relished the routine of buying and checking his tickets for a winner. He purchased the newest winning ticket from Shell Lethbridge at 2440 Fairway Plaza Road S in Lethbridge. "You check your ticket and if you win, you're happy. If you don't, you can always try again," Mr Serkin told WCLC, adding: "I bought this ticket while I was buying gas. I saw the Gold Ball draw was getting close (to the final ball selection) and thought, 'What do I have to lose?'" Quizzed about his massive winnings, Mr Serkin modestly replied: "I know the odds are astronomical. I don't think it'll happen again, but I still like buying tickets." "I'm a cancer survivor and I'm retired, so I am just grateful for all of it," he added. As per a report in Today, Mr Serkin's luck dates back over a decade. He previously won $250,000 in another draw more than 10 years prior to his recent hattrick of wins. Lottery over dinner Earlier this month, a couple in the US state of New Jersey won Rs 12.86 crore in the lottery after buying a Rs 257 scratch-off ticket while on their way to dinner. The couple would not have won the lottery if it weren't for the insistence of one of the partners. While one wanted to buy tickets in another town, the second insisted on purchasing from a store that they did not typically visit. "Like they ever listen to me! So, I go in and get a $10 ticket and a couple of the $3 Win for Lifes," the player recalled. "It was just so random. This really changes our lives. We're always stressed about bills. This makes life a lot easier," the winner said.

Justin Bieber's pics spark ‘drug addiction' debate, fans call him ‘train wreck,' ask, ‘Why is no one helping him?'
Justin Bieber's latest Instagram post featuring a series of bathroom selfies has sparked a serious debate online around 'drug addictions' as concerned fans call him a 'train wreck,' and wonder why no one is helping him. Justin has made two Instagram posts in the last 5 hours. The first one featured multiple pictures of himself, while the other had just two pictures – one with a blurred Hailey Bieber in the background, and the other a very close-up of Justin's face. 'U could point at my flaws, or u could recognise ur own lil b***h,' he wrote in a caption. Worried fans said they cannot recognise him anymore, 'Who is this person?' adding that 'it's like watching a train wreck and not being able to stop it.' 'Why is no one helping this man,' asked a fan. However, several netizens claimed that the posts expose the 'face of drug addiction,' and said that the 'Baby' hitmaker is 'slowly turning into the Britney Spears of our generation.' 'He's seriously struggling. It's looking like Liam Payne and Britney [Spears] someone needs to help him before it's too late,' added another social media user. 'The drugs are one why does everything look so dirty?' asked a user. Another suggested a rehab for the singer: 'Justin, baby, I think it's time for rehab.' This is not the first time the 'Stay' singer has been suspected of using drugs. He reportedly exhibited 'strange' behaviour at his wife Hailey Bieber's Rhode skin event, sparking speculations of drug use. However, in February, Justin's representative had slammed the 'harmful' rumours of drug use. Not much later, the Grammy winner was seen unapologetically flaunting marijuana. In a more recent Instagram post, Justin also publicly showed off his drug use as he shared a photo of himself smiling in an armchair while a massive bong sat in his lap. In a surprising confession, he admitted to copying Hailey Bieber's patented Rhode phone case — originally designed to hold her lip gloss — and repurposing it to carry marijuana instead. Even the people close to Justin Bieber have expressed their worry for his mental health amid rumours of financial turmoil. They told the Hollywood Reporter that they feared he was falling apart mentally. 'Seeing him disintegrate like this … it's watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose,' a former team member told the outlet. 'He's lost,' he said, adding that 'there's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out.'
