‘I will break your hand': Meena Kumari's stepson once threatened her over..., made shocking claims about ‘Chhoti Ammi'
Tajdar and his wife shared a deep emotional bond with Meena Kumari. He always referred to her as Chhoti Ammi. Reflecting on their relationship, he said, 'When she used to stay with us, we never knew that she consumed alcohol. We only came to know of it once she moved out.' When Meena Kumari's Stepson Threatened Her
Tajdar recalled a particularly intense confrontation where, driven by concern and frustration, he delivered a harsh warning because of her drinking. He said, 'I told her that I'll break her arm if she drinks again. But to that, she retorted, asking me to go ahead and do it.'
He further added, 'We regularly had these fights, but they were purely out of our love for each other.'
Tajdar's revelation exposes how people in Meena's life failed to help and save her. 'There were people who got Meena Kumari cheap liquor, and that used to upset me very much. Chhoti Ammi was very innocent,' he shared, with a mix of anger and helplessness.

Natania Lalwani: Breaking Borders, One Global Hit At A Time
Last Updated: Blending Punjabi soul with global pop, Natania Lalwani is reshaping the soundscape of mainstream music—one cross-cultural hit at a time. From Mumbai to Los Angeles, from Punjabi beats to Hollywood soundtracks, Natania Lalwani is crafting a musical universe where culture meets pop magic with Rihanna, Disney, and even the Smurfs along for the ride. For Natania Lalwani, music isn't just about melodies, it's about emotion, connection, and fearlessly crossing borders. With songwriting credits for global heavyweights like Nick Jonas, Rihanna, Cardi B, and now a coveted spot on the Freaky Friday reboot soundtrack, the Indian-born, LA-based pop singer-songwriter is making waves that resonate far beyond genre or geography. 'I've always believed that music breaks all borders," Natania shares. 'No matter the market or style, at the heart of it, we're all trying to create something that moves people." Whether she's writing a vulnerable breakup ballad or crafting a joy-filled tune for The Smurfs, Natania's north star is authenticity and it shows. Repping Brown on the Global Stage With a powerful voice both on and off the mic, Natania is part of a larger movement redefining South Asian representation in global entertainment. 'There's a growing respect and curiosity for South Asian voices," she says, beaming with pride. 'We're not just showing up, we're leading." She cites names like Diljit Dosanjh and Karan Aujla as evidence of this shift, and her own career is a prime example: from viral desi-pop fusions to writing platinum-certified tracks for artists like Armaan Malik, Natania's discography reflects a bold, borderless sound. A Disney Dream, Reimagined Her latest milestone? Freaky Friday, Disney's reboot of the iconic film. 'It was a full circle moment," she says. 'My A&R sent in the song, and Disney loved it." A creative call with director Nisha Ganatra sealed the deal. The track itself, born from a serendipitous studio session with Jason Evigan, carries layers of heartbreak and hope. 'I was going through a breakup and just poured it all into the song," she laughs. 'It somehow matched the film's energy perfectly. It was fate!" Smurfs, Soundtracks, and Surreal Moments Then came The Smurfs. Her track 'Higher Love" brings a vibrant Punjabi-pop flavor to the animated film's international soundtrack. 'I grew up in Mumbai watching movies like this—it felt so far away," she reflects. 'To now be part of something global and still so personal, that's everything." The blue carpet premiere only added to the magic. 'Hearing my song, meeting Rihanna, it was electric!" Bridging Cultures, Finding Her Frequency Throughout it all, Natania's mission has remained clear: fuse her Indian heritage with the universal language of pop. 'It's like finding my own unique frequency," she says. 'It's heart-expanding. It makes me feel fully, authentically me." And fans have noticed, her work doesn't just blend cultures, it celebrates them. The Rahman Dream and What's Next When asked about a dream collaboration, her answer is instant: A.R. Rahman. 'It would be something timeless but fresh. Something that lives forever," she says. And while she stays tight-lipped about specifics, she teases more music on the horizon, with the Freaky Friday soundtrack dropping August 8. As for the buzz around her recent studio time with Rahman? She calls it 'a pinch-me moment." No surprise, most of her journey seems like one, the kind artists dream of but few actually live. But for Natania Lalwani, this is just the beginning.

AB de Villiers, Wayne Parnell Celebrate SA's WCL Win With Aura Farming Dance
Last Updated: AB de Villiers and Wayne Parnell celebrated South Africa's Legends World Championship win with a viral aura farming dance. Former South Africa cricketers AB de Villiers and Wayne Parnell were seen celebrating their team's World Championship of Legends triumph with the trending aura farming dance, a video of which has gone viral on social media. Notably, it was the first time in his long cricketing career that de Villiers won a trophy. After the win against Pakistan, the Protea cricketers gathered to lift the trophy, but it was Parnell who took the spotlight with a celebration that has gone viral. The former pacer stood in front of the champions' hoarding and performed the trending aura farming dance, which has been viral on social media recently. Watch the video here: With the rest of the team lined up behind him, Parnell led the dance, while his teammates did the rowing motions. The South Africa Champions dominated the final against Pakistan to win their first World Championship of Legends title. De Villiers was the standout performer with the bat, scoring 120 off 60 deliveries as South Africa chased down a target of 196 with 19 deliveries to spare. The term aura farming has become popular online, used to describe moments when someone performs with effortless confidence or style. De Villiers' tournament performance fit the description well. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board on Sunday, August 3, announced a blanket ban on its cricketers' participation in future editions of the World Championship of Legends, accusing the tournament organisers of being 'biased" and lacking sporting integrity. The decision follows a sequence of events in which the Indian team forfeited both their group-stage clash and semifinal against Pakistan, citing the nation's stand against bilateral sporting ties with the neighbouring country after the gruesome Pahalagam terror attack. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
