Palash Sen: Bharat ka dushman matlab mera dushman
Palash Sen visited Turkey in 2019 and travelled to Azerbaijan in 2023
Following Turkey and Azerbaijan's support for Pakistan after Operation Sindoor, there is a growing sentiment in the country to boycott these nations altogether – be it for travel, film shoots, weddings, or the import of their products. Celebs like Atul Kasbekar, Rupali Ganguly, and Vishal Mishra have also taken to social media to urge their followers not to visit these countries.
Palash Sen
, frontman of the band Euphoria, who shot a short film in Turkey in 2019 and travelled to Azerbaijan in 2023 for a corporate gig, tells us he doesn't see himself visiting either country again unless they change their stance.
'Turkey is a beautiful country but saare jahan se achha Hindustan hamara'
Talking about his visit to Turkey in 2019, Palash says, 'I went to Turkey in 2019 and shot a film there. There's no two ways about the fact that it is a beautiful country. I was only in Istanbul and Cappadocia though, but even then, their internal issues were pretty obvious in 2019. While most people (in the team) were Indian, some Turkish people were also involved – the heroine was Turkish. We had a good time but there was an underlying tension in the air – a lot of strife within Turkey. And they didn't have a very good attitude towards people from anywhere else. The Turkish have a little attitude. I felt a certain kind of animosity, an
anti-India stance
in Turkey. So when I hear about them helping Pakistan with drones, whatever their political understanding is, Bharat ka dushman matlab mera dushman . We all should take this stand that we should not be supporting Turkey and I don't think I see myself going back to Turkey ever. There is no point unless they make amends. I am not saying that everybody is like that – but that's true for every country. Establishment hi hota hai jiske apne views hote hain . If you are anti-India, you are anti-me and why will I support you? It is a beautiful country but saare jahan se achha Hindustan hamara . Aise koi cheez wahan nahi hai jo yahan nahi hai. Haan gaye thay wahan shoot karne – so thanks, but no thanks, Turkey.'

Talking about his Azerbaijan trip, Palash adds that he went there for a corporate gig. 'It is popular for corporate gigs and destination weddings. Wahan pe there is not much population and our travellers keep looking for newer places to go to. Travel and stay is cheaper, but I have no attachment. However, unlike Turkey, people in Azerbaijan are sweet and very welcoming. This is my honest opinion. But what I want to say is that India has everything, we don't need to go anywhere. I fully support the (domestic) tourism industry of India. I would never want to go to these countries unless they make their stance clear against the wrong elements in the world.'
He adds, 'These problems are establishment-based, not people-based. Can we differentiate? That is the bigger question. I have been to Pakistan in 2008 or 2009 and people were supportive, (they were) so welcoming in Karachi but then 2008 is different from 2025. The people of Pakistan also say that the problem is with the government, they have their own issues. But I don't think people anywhere have hatred towards people. That is my stand on the two countries.'

Kishan slams Rahul for remark on EC
Hyderabad: Union Minister and State BJP chief G Kishan Reddy stated that the BJP will remain unstoppable as long as Rahul Gandhi leads the Congress party. While addressing a workshop of the party's social media wing on Saturday, he criticized the Congress MP for resorting to mudslinging that tarnishes the image of constitutional institutions and authorities, both in India and abroad. He noted this behavior as an attempt to cover up his ineffective leadership, especially given the series of setbacks and electoral defeats Congress has faced over the past decade. He pointed out that the Congress party is riddled with corruption and dynastic politics and has been unsuccessful in winning the trust of the people, leading them to reject the party's propaganda against the BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the Central government. Referring to an article written by Rahul Gandhi, Kishan Reddy labeled it as another example of Rahul Gandhi's ineffective leadership, wherein he accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of compromising its constitutional responsibilities. Kishan Reddy posed a question: 'If the ECI is fixing the elections, then how could Congress win 90 seats in Telangana and a similar number in Parliament?' The Union Minister criticised the abusive political rhetoric of Congress and Rahul Gandhi, mentioning that they have not spared even Operation Sindoor. He pointed out that politics and national security are different issues, but both Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has made statements aimed at gaining political advantage against Operation Sindoor, which he termed a new low.

'I can't play as an Impact Player': Virat Kohli's powerful statement sparks speculation - was he taking a dig at someone?
Virat Kohli with the IPL trophy. (AP Photo) NEW DELHI: Even as Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally lifted their maiden Indian Premier League title in 2025, ending a nearly two-decade-long wait, it was Virat Kohli 's post-match words that sparked conversations far beyond the boundary ropes. Following RCB's six-run win over Punjab Kings in a gripping final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, an emotional Kohli stole the spotlight — not just for the tears, the turf kiss, or his long-awaited hands on the trophy — but for a quote that now has fans wondering: Was Virat Kohli targeting someone? Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! While speaking with former Australia opener Matthew Hayden on the field, Kohli was asked about the relentless passion and drive that continues to define his game. His reply, now going viral, was both heartfelt and pointed: Who's that IPL player? 'Well, I have an opportunity to play this game for not many years, so there is an end date to our career as you know. And by the time that I hang up my boots I want to sit at home and say I gave it everything I had. So I look for ways to improve. I can't play as an impact player. I want to field, I want to field 20 overs and make an impact in the field. That's the kind of player I am, I have been.' Poll Do you believe Virat Kohli's comments were directed at other players? Yes, definitely No, just his personal philosophy The comment struck a chord, not just with fans but also within cricketing circles, as Kohli made it clear: playing only as a batter doesn't align with his ethos. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo In the era of the 'Impact Player' rule — where several veteran stars and young talents are fielded purely for their batting or bowling — Kohli's declaration felt both personal and philosophical.

Or simply a reflection of his enduring intensity and commitment? 'I'm so very grateful for this victory. So thankful to God for giving it in my lap finally tonight,' Kohli concluded, adding another emotional layer to a night that saw RCB, and their captain-in-spirit, finally crowned champions. Either way, Virat Kohli has once again reminded everyone why he remains more than just a name on the team sheet.
