Kangana Ranaut Calls Out ‘Badtameez' Male Actors In Bollywood: ‘Heroine Ko Neecha Dikhana...'
Last Updated: Kangana Ranaut reveals most male actors in Bollywood are 'badtameez.' She discusses being sidelined, facing trouble, and her journey as an outsider in the industry. Actor and politician Kangana Ranaut has never shied away from speaking her mind about Bollywood and her journey as an outsider. In an interview with Hauterrfly, Kangana called out male actors in the industry, saying most of them are 'badtameez (impolite)', but she refused to let their behaviour affect her career. Kangana Talks About Impolite Behaviour On Sets When asked if she ever faced untoward advances from male actors, Kangana responded, 'Maine zyada heroes ke saath kaam hi nahi kiya hain! Mera main concern yahi tha ki badtameez bahut hain heroes." (I haven't worked with so many heroes. My concern was that these heroes were extremely impolite.) She clarified that her concerns were not about sexual harassment alone. Kangana explained, 'Sirf main sexual tareeke se nahi bol rahi hoon. Late aana set pe, badtameeziyan karna, heroine ko neecha dikhana, sideline karna, choti van dena… mujhe kaafi trouble bhi hua ki kitne cases ye mujh pe kiye isiliye kyuki main wahape inn cheezon se main okay nahi thi jabki most girls are okay with this, toh unko laga ki isko kyu itna ghamand hain." In essence, she highlighted how male actors' general impolite behaviour—coming late, sidelining heroines, or belittling them—caused her professional trouble, as she refused to accept it like others did. Kangana's Bollywood Journey Kangana made her acting debut with Anurag Basu's Gangster in 2006, produced by Mahesh Bhatt. She went on to appear in films like Woh Lamhe (2006) and Life In a Metro (2007) before landing the milestone project Fashion (2008) directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, for which she won her first National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her career reached new heights with Queen (2014) and Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015), earning multiple accolades and establishing her as one of Bollywood's most respected actresses. Kangana has won four National Awards in total and continues to take on diverse projects. She was last seen in Emergency, a film she directed, co-produced, and wrote, further proving her versatility in the industry. Despite facing multiple challenges as an outsider, Kangana's refusal to compromise on professionalism and self-respect has made her one of Bollywood's most outspoken and admired stars.

Saiyaara Stars Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda Go On A Movie Date To Watch War 2
Last Updated: Despite mixed critical reviews, War 2 drew audiences to theatres, largely due to its star power and YRF branding. Saiyaara turned out to be a blockbuster, turning debutant Ahaan Panday and actress Aneet Padda into overnight sensations. The film grossed an impressive Rs 500 crore worldwide, cementing both actors' rising stardom. Following the film's success, speculation about the actors' off-screen relationship has been rife. Recently, the duo was spotted together at a theatre on a movie date to watch Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's high-octane spy thriller, War 2. Fans were quick to notice Ahaan and Aneet twinning in black t-shirts and denim jeans, keeping their outing casual yet coordinated. A video circulating on social media shows paps approaching them for photographs, but Ahaan politely requested not to click pictures as they were running late. While the duo has not publicly confirmed their alleged relationship, the outing has fuelled romance rumours among fans.

The film's ensemble cast also included Varun Badola, Rajesh Kumar, Alam Khan, Sid Makkar, Shaan Grover, and others in pivotal roles. Saiyaara's strong performance even allowed it to win the box office clash against Sonakshi Sinha's Nikita Roy, further solidifying Ahaan and Aneet as rising stars to watch. War 2 Box Office Collection The movie date coincided with the release of War 2 on August 14, which brought Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani together in a high-octane action thriller directed by Ayan Mukerji.

Indian mission in UK marks Partition Horrors Remembrance Day
Agency: London, Aug 14 (PTI) The High Commission of India in London on Thursday commemorated Partition Horrors Remembrance Day with a special photography exhibition and a documentary screening reflecting upon India's Partition in August 1947. The solemn gathering of community leaders and Indian diaspora members recounted some of the painful memories of the past a day before the 79th Independence Day celebrations planned at India House on Friday. 'When we recall Partition, we must also recall that this was a tragedy for everybody, because it was a tragedy that happened to all communities," said Indian High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami, in his address to the gathering. Doraiswami said that many people were uprooted to come to India and likewise in Pakistan and that impact is still seen in the way people deal with each other even now. 'That at least should tell us, if nothing else, that the experiment that is the modern Indian nation is a valid argument," he added. 'Our continued existence as a state that is there for all Indian citizens is the best answer we can give anybody who seeks to suggest that we are different by virtue of our faith or by dealing with the absence of faith," he said. UK-based filmmaker Lalit Mohan Joshi presented an abridged version of his documentary 'Beyond Partition', which captured the voices of leading artists such as Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani and Gulzar who have explored the subject of Partition in their cinematic journey over the years. 'My film explores the trauma of Partition and how it impacted on filmmakers from the Indian subcontinent," said Joshi. The memorial event, held in the Gandhi Hall of India House, concluded with the Indian National Anthem before moving to the Nehru Hall for a tour of the photographic exhibition tracing the history of the Partition.
