,' and '
Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
' recently opened up about how she has been facing criticism over her clothing choices and visits to places of worship, particularly temples.
In an interview with
Shubhankar Mishra
, Nushrratt revealed that her connection to religion is deeply personal and meaningful to her. She explained, "For me, my faith is real. Unreal things happen, and that's what strengthens my belief. That's why I'm still connected, still strong, and I know I have to follow this path." She further emphasised that her family supports the freedom to practise faith individually, without imposing their beliefs on others.
"Wherever you find peace, whether it's in a mandir, a gurudwara or a church, you should go there," she shared.
The '
Akaash Vani

Facing criticism over appearance and beliefs
Despite her approach to faith, Nushrratt revealed she has often faced harsh judgment from some quarters, particularly when it comes to her clothing and where she chooses to go. "Whether it's about my clothes or where I go, I've faced comments. When I post my picture, people ask, 'What kind of Muslim is she? Look at her clothes,'" she said. However, Nushrratt remains unshaken by these judgments. She responds to criticism with resilience, knowing that her style and her choices are part of her self-expression.
"How do I handle it? Just like any other criticism," she said, showing that she has learned to ignore negativity and stay true to herself. For her, criticism—whether about her appearance, her faith, or her professional choices—is just a part of the territory of being in the public eye. "It doesn't change me. It won't stop me from going to a temple or
praying namaz
. I'll keep doing both. Because that's my faith," she affirmed.

Khushi Bharadwaj on playing a teen on the autism spectrum in Criminal Justice 4: It made me more aware of how overwhelming the world can feel

Khushi Bharadwaj Khushi Bharadwaj , known for her roles in Baalveer Returns, Tiku Weds Sheru, 36 Days, Gyarah Gyarah, and IC 814, is receiving positive feedback for her performance in Criminal Justice: A Family Matter . In the show, she portrays Ira, a teenager on the autism spectrum. Reflecting on the preparation that went into the role, the 17-year-old shares, 'Bringing Ira to life was quite a process. I spent around two weeks doing four-hour workshops every day to understand her world better. My acting coach, Sandeep Ghosh sir, was instrumental in helping me shape the character. I remember being really nervous during the first scene — I wasn't sure if I was getting it right. But gradually, I settled into the role. Playing Ira made me realise how overwhelming and confusing the world can sometimes feel for someone on the spectrum. It gave me a deeper sense of empathy and respect for their lived experience.' Khushi with Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in a still from Criminal Justice: A Family Matter Despite the demanding shoot, Khushi was also balancing her 10th-grade board exams. Asked how she managed academics alongside a complex role, she admits, 'It wasn't easy. I'd study during breaks on set and made sure to cover extra ground before shooting began. But I believe that when you truly care about both things — acting and studying — you find a way to make it work.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Grateful for the experience, she adds, 'I'd love to play a character like Ira again, if given the opportunity.

5 hidden locations fans hope return in GTA 6

Image via Rockstar Games The GTA series is no stranger to surprises. From cryptic messages on mountaintops to abandoned shacks deep in the woods, Rockstar Games has a reputation for filling its open worlds with hidden gems. Now, with GTA 6 on the horizon, fans are buzzing with speculation. While the second trailer confirmed the sprawling state of Leonida (a Miami-inspired landscape), many are secretly hoping Rockstar brings back some of the most iconic hidden locations from previous games, this time, reimagined for the next-gen era. Here are 5 hidden spots fans would love to see return in GTA 6 : 1. Bigfoot's Forest (GTA: San Andreas) San Andreas had many myths like UFOs, ghosts, and of course, Bigfoot. While Rockstar denied its presence in the original game, fans swore they saw something lurking in the shadows of Back o' Beyond. Rockstar later acknowledged the myth with actual Bigfoot missions in GTA V . Now, fans want a fresh version: maybe a deep swamp in Leonida with cryptid rumors, hidden trails, and supernatural hints. The Heart of Liberty City - Grand Theft Auto IV 2. The Heart of Liberty City (GTA IV) Remember the literal beating heart inside the Statue of Happiness? This bizarre Easter egg required players to break into the statue and climb a ladder to find a giant heart suspended by chains. It didn't serve a purpose, it was just…there. Eerie, confusing, and unforgettable. Imagine a modern version hidden in Vice City's landmarks, maybe the Leonida Lighthouse holds a few unsettling secrets of its own? 3. Area 69 (GTA: San Andreas) This top-secret military base was the stuff of legend. Area 69 wasn't just well-guarded, it housed UFO parts, alien autopsy rooms, and secrets behind locked doors. For GTA 6 , a new version could be hidden somewhere in Leonida's desert outskirts. Considering Rockstar's growing love for the paranormal, a high-tech, possibly still active base would be a dream return. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Topánky, ktoré si zamiluje každá žena Nakupovať teraz Undo 4. The Hidden Mine (GTA V) In the mountains north of Los Santos was an old, abandoned mine shaft. Most players passed it a hundred times and never noticed it. But if you blew open the entrance, you'd find a creepy old tunnel with a skeleton inside. GTA 6's Leonida seems to have diverse terrains, so, Rockstar could put an underwater shipwreck, or a submerged missile silo filled with lore and locked doors waiting to be explored. GTA Online: How To Find The Mount Gordo Ghost (Ghost Easter Egg) 5. Ghost of Mount Gordo (GTA V) A fan-favorite Easter egg, the ghost of Jolene Cranley-Evans appears on Mount Gordo between 11 PM and midnight in GTA V . Players found clues about her death and the killer through in-game articles and missions. Fans are hoping GTA 6 keeps this spooky tradition alive, maybe through haunted mansions, cursed motel rooms, or entire ghost towns hidden off the main map. As much as fans love the cars, chaos, and storylines, it's these hidden places that give GTA its mystique. They reward curiosity, spark theories, and add layers to the world. Because in GTA , it's not just about what's in plain sight…it's about what's lurking just around the corner.
