Operation Sindoor movie: Producer apologises after facing backlash on announcing movie on India-Pakistan war, See post
Inspired by Operation Sindoor, producer Nicky Bhagnani announced that he is making a film with the same title. However, soon he received massive backlash and has now issued an apology regarding the same. Taking to his official Instagram handle, he shared an apology.
In his post, Nicky explained that as a filmmaker, he was moved by the brave step taken by the Indian army to avenge the Pahalgam attack, where 26 people were barbarically killed by terrorists.
He wrote, 'My sincere apologies for recently announcing a film based on Operation Sindoor, inspired by the recent heroic efforts of our Indian armed forces. The intent was never to hurt or provoke anyone's sentiments. As a filmmaker, I was moved by the courage, sacrifice, and strength of our soldiers and leadership, and simply wished to bring this powerful story to light. This project was born out of deep respect and love for our nation and not for fame and monetization.'
He further added, 'However, I understand the timing and sensitivity may have caused discomfort or pain to some. For that, I deeply regret. This is not just a film, it's an emotion of the entire nation and a social image of the country globally. Thanks to our armed forces and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, who make us proud by working day and night for the country with the motto of always putting the nation first.'
Nicky concluded the post by writing, 'Our love and prayers will always be with the families of the martyrs, as well as the brave warriors who are fighting on the border day and night to give us a new morning. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!'

"Cut Off Her Internet Access": Social Media Users React To Woman Turning Her Bathroom Into Chia Spa
When you buy chia seeds, your immediate thought might be to use them in preparing healthy smoothies or overnight puddings. After all, chia seeds are packed with the goodness of protein, antioxidants, rich fiber and omega-3 fatty acids - a combination that promotes a healthy heart, supports digestion and boosts energy. But turning an entire bathroom into a chia seed garden? Well, that would probably be the last thing on your mind. Believe it or not, digital creator Jessie Jacobson did just that. Eager to take a 'green bath,' she revamped her bathroom into a chia seed spa. Jessie Jacobson shared a video on Instagram demonstrating the process of growing chia seeds. 'I decided I wanted to take a green bath. That's when it hit me - what if I could grow an entire ecosystem in my bathroom? Clearly it was just a blank canvas,' she said. First, it was the bathtub. She smeared the seeds on the surface, calling the procedure a little 'chaotic'. The time-lapse video showed how the seeds evolved into lush green sprouts. She followed the process for the sink and the flush toilet, spraying mist on the seeds three times a day (morning, noon and night) for a week. Much to Jessie's excitement, they actually started to grow. 'I'm a proud owner of the world's first fully functioning chia spa,' claimed the creator with pride. Inspired by her creation, she also made a 3D-printed Shrek headband and a set of fake nails from - you guessed it right - chia seeds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jessie Jacobson (@growithjessie) Of course, the internet had some interesting comments. 'What's the point of all of this?' asked a user. 'I really wish she didn't do the toilet seat,' said another. 'So happy it's finally finished. Looks amazing! Although I'm sure you could add a chia bath mat too,' suggested one person. A critic wished to 'cut off her internet access'. 'Just praying this is your second bathroom,' a user hoped. 'Girl, blink twice if the chia has taken over your account,' read another comment.
