Tamannaah Bhatia finally breaks silence over dating Virat Kohli and Abdul Razzaq, reveals stunning truth, says...
Setting the record straight regarding the rumors of her dating cricketer Virat Kohli, Tamannaah Bhatia said, 'I feel so bad because I literally met him for only one day.' She further added, 'I have never met Virat after the shoot. Na maine unse baat ki, na unse mili hoon.'
The story about Tamannaah's dating rumors with Virat goes back to 2010, when a picture of the duo from a commercial shoot went viral, sparking relentless speculation about the two being together.
Adding to the buzz, another wild internet rumor suggested that she had secretly tied the knot with former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq, sparked by a photo of them browsing jewelry together.
'Mazaak mazaak mein Abdul Razzaq! The internet is a fun place,' she chuckled. 'Yaa, according to the internet, I was briefly married to Abdul Razzaq.'
Turning towards the camera, she folded her hands and said, 'I'm sorry sir, aapke do-teen bachhe hain… I don't know what your life is!' Calling it 'so embarrassing,'
Tamannaah clarified that the viral photo was simply from the inauguration of a jewelry store they both happened to attend by coincidence.
Talking about disadvantages of fame, Tamannaah admitted, 'It's very awkward. Jab koi bhi taalluq nahi hota hai aur log bana dete hain. But there is nothing you can do. Waqt lagta hai, you come to accept that aap iske baare mein kuch kar nahi sakte. Jisko jaisa sochna hai, wo waisa hi sochega. Aap sabko baith ke control nahi kar sakte.'

Madras High Court directs TN govt to provide protection for Vijay Devarakonda's 'Kingdom' amid protests
CHENNAI: Madras High Court on Thursday directed the state government to provide security for theatres screening Vijay Devarakonda movie 'Kingdom'. This move comes after the Telugu movie faced protests from faced protests in Madurai and Trichy from Naam Thamizhar Katchi (NTK) cadres for its alleged portrayal of Sri Lankan Tamils in a poor light. Justice D Bharatha Chakravarthy issued the directive stating that the movie makers have the right to express their views and none can disrupt screening of a movie, which is duly certified by the Censor Board, nor threaten the theatre owners against screening. The court further added that those who have different views can express them through protests but should obtain permission from the Police and hold the stir only at the designated venues. It would be open for them to protest and propagate their own view against the movie's content. 'That liberty is always available to express any contrary view in a democracy, and therefore, the right of the respondent is not curtailed.' 'In a democracy, the creators of a movie have every right to express their views and in this case, it is a fiction, therefore, anything expressed in any movie may be abhorrent and unpalatable to a particular section of the society. Even then, when the censor board cleared the movie for being exhibited in theatre, no third party can prevent its exhibition or threaten the theatre owners,' said Justice D Bharatha Chakravarthy on Thursday while disposing of a petition filed by SSI Productions, the producers of 'Kingdom', seeking protection to the theatres. The judge recollected the orders passed by a division bench of Madras High Court in the Perumal Murugan case stating it is better to put the book down or refrain from watching the movie. Justice Chakravarthy recorded the undertaking given by the government advocate on behalf of the police that they will give due protection to the theatres. He further stated the Police can take appropriate action, if the screening of the movie is disrupted or any theatre owners are threatened against exhibiting the movie by any person.

Javed Akhtar reveals how he wanted to assist Guru Dutt after graduation: 'I was highly impressed'; R. Balki, Hansal Mehta and Sudhir Mishra too pay their homage
Javed Akhtar, an experienced poet, lyricist, and screenwriter, has disclosed that Guru Dutt had a significant impact on him. In fact, he even aided the late actor-director in his pursuit of his dream of becoming a director. Akhtar revealed that his dream of working with Dutt was still unfulfilled during a special session held in Mumbai on Wednesday night to honor the Hindi film icon as part of his centennial celebrations. Here's a closer look. What did Javed Akhtar say? At an event in Mumbai honoring Guru Dutt's centenary on Wednesday, August 6, the veteran screenwriter and lyricist, Javed Akhtar revealed that his long-held dream of working with the legendary filmmaker never came to fruition. Filmmakers Sudhir Mishra , Hansal Mehta, and R. Balki, as well as film critic and author Bhawanaa Sommaya, attended the session, all of whom shared Akhtar's admiration for Dutt. Javed Akhtar revealed that after graduating, he had a clear plan to join the film industry and assist Guru Dutt for two years before becoming a director himself. However, this dream was tragically cut short. 'After my graduation I'll go to the film industry and join Mr. Guru Dutt for a couple of years, and then I'll become a director. When you're 18 years old, things are simpler and easier, so that is what I had decided. It is so unfortunate that I came to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1964, on October 4, and he passed away on October 10, so I could never ever see him," Akhtar continued. 'I had really thought that when I go (to Mumbai), somehow I'll manage (to work with Guru Dutt) because (poet-lyricist) Sahir (Ludhianvi) sahab was a good friend of Guru Dutt, and he had written songs for Pyaasa. I thought this connection will work. I had thought I'd assist him for a while, but it didn't work.' Akhtar, who co-wrote classic movies like 'Sholay,' 'Deewar,' 'Zanjeer,' and 'Don' with Salim Khan , expressed his admiration for Dutt's ability to convey complex narratives through visuals. "I was highly impressed by Guru Dutt in my college days;when I was 17 or 18 years old, I used to refuse to see films of certain superstars because I believed they were bad actors. It means I had some choice. Guru Dutt had a deep impression on me as a teenager,' he stated. "We had great directors like Mehboob (Khan) and Bimal Roy, but Guru Dutt was the first person who spoke through visuals. There were other directors who could give good performances, shoot at the right locations, create the right ambience in the film, and make well-written films, but talking through visuals is something that was taught to us by Guru Dutt,' Akhtar said. Sudhir Mishra talks about the late Guru Dutt The event ended with a special screening of Pyaasa, which was attended by members of Dutt's family, including actor Akshay Oberoi, filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, late actor Johnny Walker's son Nasir, and his granddaughters Gouri and Karuna Dutt. Mishra recalled that as a teenager, he and his grandmother had seen Dutt's film 'Saheb Bibi Aur Ghulam' at least six times. 'Guru Dutt is an experience; he could see him again and again. At the age of 22 he would mean something else, and today he would mean something else. I keep revisiting him. There's nothing in my life that I've done that is not influenced by him, and I haven't measured up to him, but I'm trying to,' Mishra remarked. "Every film that I've done, every shot that I've taken, every scene I've written, and song that I've tried to picture, I can't imagine it without Guru Dutt. He has taught us how to make films, how to see a scene, and how to take a blueprint, which is a script, and rewrite it in a film.' Hansal Mehta talks about the late Guru Dutt Mehta disclosed that he made a music video during his FTII years in Pune in the early 1990s, which he described as a "plagiarized" song sequence from Dutt's classic movie 'Kaagaz Ke Phool'. He openly referred to his work as a "vulgar replication" and stated that he hopes to honor the late director by creating a film about "heartbreak and love" in the future. He stated, "I grew up knowing about him through my closest friend, who was his nephew. I used to hear stories about his uncle. I discovered his (Dutt's) films much later; 'Pyaasa' is the first film I saw, and it left a lasting impression on me. More than the number of films I've made, I've had more heartbreaks and love.' "Guru Dutt has taught me that pitying oneself can be beautiful. I began to think of self-sympathy as a virtue and that I should celebrate it and that heartbreak is cinematic. I wish I could make a film that talks about heartbreak and love to pay tribute to the person who influenced me,' Mehta said. talks about Guru Dutt at the event Balki claimed that his 2022 film, 'Chup: Revenge of the Artist,' which portrayed the suffering of an artist who receives "wrong criticism," was based on Dutt. 'We live in an era where resilience is celebrated more than sensitivity, and sensitivity with a little bit of luck can become luck, and if not supported by luck, goes down. As the most sensitive artist, we love to celebrate a person who has fallen and come up. Guru Dutt, to me, is an epitome of sensitivity,' he continued. "He inspires me to remember sensitivity; it is important to feel vulnerable and not be understood by many people—you just go on. Today, the pressure is more on artists. The more I watch his films, I look at the vulnerability of the filmmaker; I never look at the craft." More about the late Guru Dutt Some of Dutt's most famous films, including 'Pyaasa' (1957), 'Aar Paar' (1954), 'Chaudhvin Ka Chand' (1960), 'Mr & Mrs 55' (1955), 'Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam' (1962), and 'Baaz' (1953), will be shown throughout India from August 8 to 14 as part of the retrospective in honor of his centennial. The National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), the National Film Archive of India (NFAI), and Ultra Media and Entertainment Group, the owners of the film rights, have all taken part in the restoration of these titles.
