Sehban Azim on World Nature Conservation Day, says ‘A greener, kinder world is still within reach'
Sehban Azim
shared a powerful message urging people to re-evaluate their relationship with the planet.
Known for his sensitive portrayals in shows like Dill Mill Gayye, Bepannaah, and Spy Bahu, Sehban used the opportunity to speak from the heart about environmental degradation and hope for change.
Highlighting the day's importance, he said, 'The day also emphasizes the need to conserve vital elements of nature such as flora, fauna, air, water, soil, and energy resources to maintain ecological balance.'
He went on to paint a stark picture of the current state of the planet, saying, 'The Earth is not ours, we don't own it, but because we consider ourselves the most intelligent species, it should be considered ours to protect.
Forests are being burnt for profits, oceans are choking on plastic, species are vanishing in silence, and bombs are falling louder than the cries of a dying planet.'
Expressing concern over the choices made in the name of development, he added, 'Major corporations are tearing down ancient forests for short-term gain. Cities are drowning in smoke, children grow up under sirens instead of birdsong, and we're drifting closer to a dystopian future.'
But his message wasn't without hope. 'Even now, in the depths of greed and war, seeds of hope remain. If we choose peace over power, planet over profit, and regeneration over destruction—a greener, kinder world is still within reach.'
Quoting Ozzy Osbourne, he concluded, 'I'm a dreamer, who dreams of better days.' Sehban emphasized that by uniting for this global cause, we can spark real change and work toward a sustainable, thriving Earth for future generations.

Doctor Doom linked to Iron Man? Wild MCU theory comes after Fantastic Four cameo
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is vast and full of surprises. Now, with the multiverse concept, possibilities are even more endless. Thus, many fans ended up wondering if Doctor Doom, who will be the main villain in the current MCU phase, is actually linked to Iron Man in some way. Robert Downey Jr, who played Iron Man, now plays Doctor Doom in the MCU(X/@StripMarvel) It would not be a stretch of imagination, given that Robert Downey Jr, who was unforgettable in the role of Tony Stark, has now stepped onboard the project to play villain Victor Von Doom. How does Doctor Doom appear in Fantastic Four? Doctor Doom has long been a major villain in Fantastic Four comics, and the first movie even went with him as the main antagonist. However, Disney has decided to go in a different direction, firmly establishing Galactus as the villain in this movie. However, we do see Doctor Doom at the end, visiting Franklin Richards – now a toddler. When his mother, Sue Richards, aka Invisible Woman, returns after getting a book, she sees the villain hunched over, even as the child reaches a hand out to touch his face. Also Read | From Fantastic Four to Superman: Top superhero films breaking records in 2025 Doom holds the mask in his hand, which is partly obscured. However, his appearance is spot on as per the comics. MCU has gone with a similar shade of green for the cloak, and the silver mask appears to be on point too. However, some fans feel that the mask might be like Iron Man's – because Tony too wore a metal mask. This is highly unlikely given that Doom and Iron Man's masks are widely different, the former being characterized by its rounded forehead, larger eyeholes, and bridged nose. How Doctor Doom could be linked to Iron Man There is a prevailing theory, reportedly, that Doctor Doom could be an evil version of Tony Stark from MCU's Earth-616. However, this would need them to deviate from the rather sacrosanct origins of Doom – which includes his birth in Latveria. That said, MCU has already broken a major rule of Doom's. He almost never removes his mask! Why he does so for Franklin remains a question, but it has raised the possibility that MCU could be going with another version of Doom-- maybe one who reveals his face more often, because they have Robert Downey in the role, and it would make more sense to show a star's face in order for a film to be a crowd puller. In the comics, Doom, ever fixated on perfection, refuses to remove his mask so the embellishments on his face are not seen. The theories about Doom and Iron Man being linked have been doing the rounds on Reddit for some time, with one person even comparing the font on the actor's chair during shoot, and saying it was the same as the font used during Iron Man's filming! Far-fetched theories aside, in the comics, there is actually one time when Doctor Doom becomes Iron Man. This is Infamous Iron Man, but one X user has debunked this possibility as well, noting that the events in that comic takes place after the 2015 Secret Wars comic. You can check out the detailed thread below! Meanwhile, one fan posited "Doctor Doom is using Tony Stark's image to manipulate everyone. He knows the heroes will trust him if he looks like Iron Man. At the end of Doomsday, his face will revert back to reality and the real Doom's face will be revealed. Robert Downey Jr. will return as an Iron Man variant in Secret Wars to help fight Doctor Doom who stole his identity and tricked everyone". The fan echoed the Reddit post in one theory, that the color of Avengers: Secret War title was changed to Iron Man's palette to tease his return. While this seems unlikely, we will definitely know better about Doom's connection with Iron Man once more of Doctor Doom's outfit is revealed, perhaps as part of Marvel's marketing drive ahead of the Doomsday movie's release on December 18, 2026.
