Rakhi Sawant backs Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3, calls Hania Aamir her 'favourite' amid ongoing controversy
Taking to social media platform Instagram, Rakhi posted a short video clip featuring both Diljit and Hania from their movie. Rakhi expressed her excitement and praised Hania for stepping into Bollywood. She wrote, 'Congratulations my sweetheart Hania Aamir. I'm so happy. Finally, you are in Bollywood films. Congratulations Diljit, Sardaar Ji 3.'
In another post, Rakhi also urged people outside the country to watch the film and support Hania for her big debut. She said, 'Everyone should watch this movie. Sardaar Ji 3—Hania Aamir, she's making her debut. Everyone should appreciate her. She's my favourite. All the best. Congratulations Hania. Allah bless you.'
Take a look here: The Backlash Against Diljit
When tensions between India and Pakistan were at their peak, many Bollywood filmmakers dropped Pakistani actors whom they had cast for their films, including Fawad Khan in Abir Gulal and Mawra Hocane for Sanam Teri Kasam 2. However, when Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3 trailer came out and fans discovered that Hania was still in the film, it created a huge uproar.
Several Indian film industry bodies, including the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA), objected to her casting. They argued that involving a Pakistani actor is insensitive to national sentiments and have even demanded a ban on Diljit Dosanjh and his upcoming projects in India.

Do you know he regularly nurtures and maintains his home garden, enjoying fresh produce from nature? Last year, the Hera Pheri film star shared a video on Instagram where he was seen plucking ripe lemons from his garden. He admired the homegrown goodness with pride before carefully cutting the citrus fruits. Next, he collected them in a tray. The caption said, "Yellow lemons: the colour of sunshine, happiness, health and pure energy." Read all about it here. Previously, Suniel Shetty opened up about his diet in a conversation with Chanda Kochhar on his podcast Journey Unscripted. The actor revealed, "I quantify my food and make sure there are things I don't eat. Anything white for me is taboo, whether it's milk because I'm lactose intolerant or whether it's white rice or ice cream... I pack my dinner off by 7 in the evening." Once again, a very happy birthday to the fit and fabulous Suniel Shetty.

Viral: Indian Woman Living In South Korea Shares Struggle Of Finding Vegetarian Food
Khushi, an Indian student living in South Korea, is going viral on social media for struggling to find vegetarian food. In an Instagram video, Khushi explains to a Korean friend why she cannot eat common foods in Korea like pork and beef. While Korean cuisine is increasingly becoming popular in India, it could be difficult to find vegetarian options in the authentic food available in Korea. In the video, Khushi, speaking fluently in the Korean language, explains, "Because I am Indian, I can't eat pork and beef because of my religion. Eating chicken is fine, but since childhood, my mom never made me eat it, so I can't eat it now either. But I ate eggs, so I can eat eggs here." Khushi adds that she only eats vegetables in Korea, which many people find shocking. "People here get shocked when I tell them that I survive here by only eating vegetables. It's tough for me because not many vegetarian options are available in Korea." She continues, "I go to cafes, but I don't like coffee either, so I can't drink that either. I like bakeries here in Korea. The breads are really very tasty. But it is too sweet." Khushi wrote on the video, "Telling a Korean the struggles of being a vegetarian in Korea." In the caption, she added, "I'm dying because I want to eat bhindi." Watch the viral video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Khushi (@khushiiiii_sy16) Khushi impressed many viewers with her Korean accent and left others concerned about how she manages her diet in Korea: "Girl, how do you survive then? Like, what is even available there? What do you eat as a vegetarian?" a user questioned. Another asked, "Is it difficult to socialise for someone who comes as a vegetarian to Korea? Since eating out in BBQ restaurants is a big part of their that make vegetarians feel left out when wanting to hang out with friends or colleagues?" Khushi replied, "I just don't hang out with them when they go and eat I don't know the feeling of being left out haha." One wrote, "Vegetables are expensive, girl." Relating to the struggle of finding bhindi abroad, another user added, "Okra ( bhindi ) when it used to be available in a few hypermarkets and Asian stores, it used to be too expensive in Europe. Mostly, it used to be the sticky variety." Indians who follow a vegetarian diet may struggle to find food when living abroad. Just like Korea, can vegetarians survive in China?
