Meet actress who started career as VJ, her fame and freedom were snatched due to…, got defamed because..., has now become owner..., she is..
In a tale that blurs the lines between fame and infamy, one actress's life took a dramatic turn that mirrored a dark cinematic plot. Once celebrated for her roles on screen, she soon found herself at the center of a real-life storm, where love turned against her, the public labeled her guilty, and the legal system did not spare her. The spotlight shifted from glamour to scandal, and the headlines echoed betrayal, heartbreak, and justice. Bollywood Actress…. Here we are talking about Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty , who started her career as a video jockey and later became rising star in film industry. However, everything changed in 2020 when the news of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death surfaced. Rhea, who was in relationship with Sushant, faced a barrage of allegations without any concrete evidence. As a result, she and her brother, Shovik , were imprisoned. Not only did Rhea's acting career come to a standstill, but her brother's professional life was also deeply affected. Rhea's Revelation And Comeback After many months of silence and social challenges, Rhea chose to fight back instead of giving up. Together with her brother Shovik, she launched a clothing brand called Chapter 2 Drip , which has now reached a valuation of approximately Rs 40 crore. In an interview with CNBC TV18, Rhea shared that this brand was born out of her determination, courage, and desire for a fresh start. She also stated that after Sushant's case, she was no longer receiving any acting offers. Her brother, Shovik, who had scored 96th percentile in CAT exam, also had his MBA studies interrupted due to the arrest. Finding a job proved challenging because she and her brother faced constant defamation and media trials. On May 24, Rhea and Shovik opened the first physical store for their brand in Mumbai. On the day of launch, a traditional puja was conducted at the store, and photos were shared on Instagram. The store features collections for both men and women, with prices ranging from ₹ 1,190 to ₹ 4,190. More about Rhea Chakraborty In the meantime, Rhea marked her return to entertainment industry last year as the leader of a gang on MTV Roadies Season 20. She came back to the competition this year but ended up losing the trophy to social media influencer Elvish Yadav.

Soundly Thrashed, Yet Pakistanis Convince Themselves Of Victory
Last Updated: Operation Sindoor was a resounding success for India, resulting in considerable damage to Pakistan's air defence system and air bases. Yet, Pakistan claims that it won Deceiving others is bad, but deceiving oneself is worse. Having acquired consummate skills in lying to the world about anything, Pakistan's immersion into mendacity is complete. It can no longer distinguish between fact and fiction—and between defeat and triumph. It got smacked in the four-day skirmish with India last month; there is a mountain of evidence (including videos by Pakistani social media) to prove that Operation Sindoor was a resounding success, resulting in considerable damage to Pakistan's air defence system and air bases. And Pakistan's reaction? It claimed that it won! Never was a lie as blatant. Six days after the cessation of hostilities, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in a statement, 'This is a victory of the Armed Forces of Pakistan as well as the self-reliant, proud, and dignified Pakistani nation. The entire nation is standing by the armed forces like a wall made of lead." The Army chief, Gen Syed Asim Munir, was made Field Marshal. It is not just the Pakistani government and military that claimed to have emerged victorious in a skirmish in which they were soundly thrashed; people believed in the lie. A Gallup Pakistan survey conducted between May 11 and 15 showed that 96 per cent of more than 500 respondents believed Pakistan had won the conflict," Al Jazeera reported. 'Initial data and survey trends shared exclusively with Al Jazeera showed 82 per cent rated the military's performance as 'very good,' with fewer than 1 per cent expressing disapproval. Most significantly, 92 per cent said their opinion of the military improved as a result of the conflict." Pakistanis, however, don't need a Copperfield to create a new reality; they themselves do it—and fall in love with it. Conspicuously, the Pakistani people did not fall prey to the propaganda by Rawalpindi and Islamabad; they chose to ignore the zillion social media videos they themselves had made and circulated showing attacks on their air bases and other places. Rejecting the sanctity of sensory perception, commonsense, and reason, and refusing to accept the unmistakable weaknesses of their military, they found refuge in the Islamist fantasy of the invincibility of the ghazi, the jihadist soldier. It needs to be mentioned here that the Western mainstream media and the Trump administration underpinned Pakistanis' self-deception. It took foreign journalists several days to realize that India had licked Pakistan. So, the New York Times reported on May 14, 'Where India appears to have had a clear edge is in its targeting of Pakistan's military facilities and airfields, as the latter stretch of fighting shifted from symbolic strikes and shows of force to attacks on each other's defense capabilities." Yet, Pakistan keeps celebrating its 'victory.' Most Pakistanis genuinely believe that they have won the military conflict with India. Pakistan may be a military dictatorship, but its state, deep state, and society are symbiotically intertwined. It is a weird totalitarianism. George Orwell, Rightists' favourite Leftist, is often quoted in describing and explaining totalitarianism, the ruthless exercise of power, the abuse of language, and so on. But even his genius will not be able to fully explain the monstrosity that Pakistan is. O'brien, the party commissar who tricks the protagonist Winston of 1984 into believing in him, tells him, 'We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull. You will learn by degrees, Winston. There is nothing that we could not do. Invisibility, levitation—anything. I could float off this floor like a soap bubble if I wished to. I do not wish to, because the Party does not wish it. You must get rid of those nineteenth-century ideas about the laws of nature. We make the laws of nature." Winston rightly finds all this utter nonsense; though not philosophically sophisticated, he even knows that there is a word to describe this stupid theory. O'brien helps him: 'I told you, Winston," he says, 'that metaphysics is not your strong point. The word you are trying to think of is solipsism. But you are mistaken. This is not solipsism." Then the commissar goes on to explain, 'The real power, the power we have to fight for night and day, is not power over things, but over men." He continues: 'Obedience is not enough… Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing." Orwell's narrative beautifully describes the evil of a communist state, but Pakistan is even worse. It doesn't have a party; it has an army—and it has radical Islam. Radical Islam tears human minds to pieces, bestialises hearts, and coarsens sensibilities. And it makes the adherents see what they want to see. So, they see defeat as victory.

Punjab govt working for wellbeing of underprivileged sections, says CM Mann at loan waiver event
'For the first time in the history of Punjab, this reprieve is being extended to the underprivileged and weaker sections of society,' Mann said. Addressing a gathering after handing over loan waiver certificates to the beneficiaries here, Mann said the previous governments in the state waived loans of the affluent people but didn't bother about the welfare of the poor. Amritsar, Jun 8 (PTI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday said his government is working untiringly for the wellbeing of the state's weaker and underprivileged sections. The loan waiver scheme worth Rs 67.84 crore has benefited around 4,800 families of loanees of the Punjab Scheduled Castes Land Development and Finance Corporation (PSCFC), the chief minister said. On June 3, the Punjab Cabinet gave its nod to waive loans amounting to Rs 67.84 crore taken by over 4,000 Dalit families from the PSCFC. Mann said the waiver covers all loans disbursed by the PSCFC up to March 31, 2020, offering significant relief to SC and Divyangjan (persons with disabilities) loanees. The move will benefit 4,727 loanees for an aggregate amount of Rs 67.84 crore. The scheme will cover all the loanees, including 4,685 defaulting loanees and 42 regular loanees, government sources said. Addressing the gathering, Mann said 'no due certificates' (NDCs) will be issued by the state government and the full amount of Rs 67.84 crore comprising principal, interest and penal interest calculated as of April 30, 2025, will be reimbursed to the PSCFC by the state government. The loanees who previously availed benefits under the earlier waiver schemes are also eligible for coverage under this initiative, Mann said. No recovery proceedings will be initiated against the loanees and their accounts will be considered fully settled as of the cut-off date, he added. According to the 2011 Census, Scheduled Castes constitute 31.94 per cent of Punjab's total population and many members of this community have availed loans from the PSCFC to set up self-employment ventures aimed at economic upliftment. However, Mann said some borrowers were unable to repay their loans due to circumstances beyond their control, leading to defaults. These families could not repay their loans due to circumstances such as demise of the main earning member, prolonged illness, or having no other source of income, etc. Recovering these loans from such people was unjust, so the state government has decided to waive them, the chief minister said.
