Anupam Kher makes big statement on Operation Sindoor hero Colonel Sofia Qureshi, says, ‘Presented her…'
After the Pahalgam attack shook the nation, the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor, targeting and destroying several terrorist bases across the border. Amid the operation, one face stood out—not from the battlefield, but the briefing room. Colonel Sophia Qureshi, a high-ranking officer in the Indian Army's Corps of Signals, led media briefings, keeping the nation informed and composed during the tense period. Who is Colonel Sophia Qureshi? Sophia isn't just another officer in uniform. She made history as the first Indian woman to lead a military contingent at an international exercise. With clarity, calmness, and courage, she became the Army's voice after the Pahalgam attack. Her presence wasn't just a performance—it was reassurance. Anupam Kher meets Sophia Qureshi Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who is currently promoting his new film Tanvi the Great, recently met Colonel Sophia and shared their interaction on Instagram. In the photo, he's seen gifting her his book. His caption read, 'OPERATION SINDOOR: I was extremely HAPPY and deeply HONOURED to meet Col. #sofiyaqureshi recently and present her my fourth #SelfHelp book #DifferentButNoLess! She epitomises the grace, valour, dignity and bravery of #IndianArmy. Thank you Col. Qureshi for your warmth and appreciation! Jai Hind! #Proud' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anupam Kher (@anupampkher) The post has since gone viral, with fans calling the moment 'real patriotism'. What's 'Tanvi the Great' and how is it connected? Kher's film, Tanvi the Great, which tells the story of a young girl fighting against all odds to chase her dreams, has just been granted tax-free status in Delhi, following its earlier declaration as tax-free in Madhya Pradesh. Sharing the update, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta wrote on social platform X, ' I am pleased to share that the Delhi Government has declared the film 'Tanvi the Great' tax-free in the state. With an impactful narrative of inclusion, the film is an inspiring story of a young, 'special' girl-Tanvi, who is determined to achieve her dreams against all odds. Tanvi's story is emotional and inspirational. We are committed to promoting films that strengthen the spirit of Rashtra Seva, ignites patriotism, and awakens the conscience of the nation. Best wishes to the entire team of the film. @AnupamPKher' I am pleased to share that the Delhi Government has declared the film 'Tanvi the Great' tax-free in the state.

Sometimes it's in uniform, other times in the cinema. But both spark something real: pride, purpose, and power.

South park it there, you can't get free-er
Say what you will about the US, but there's something that is awesome about its idea of freedom: Trey Parker and Matt Stone's animated sitcom South Park 's merciless roast of the American president would be unthinkable in uncle-aunty countries. Even as Trump is seething at depictions of him in bed with Satan and an AI-generated sequence of him getting butt naked in a desert, no one has been tossed into a dungeon. At worst, South Park's parent company Paramount, which signed a $1.5 bn 5-year deal with the creators of the subversive show, will cut its losses after this expensive joke in the form of its new season opener, 'Sermon on the Mount'.The latest episode didn't just poke the presidential bear - it dressed him as a toddler, and sent him on a parade of absurdity so brutal it made stand-up satire look like polite gossip. And, yet, no censorship, no exile, no mysterious disappearance of Parker and Stone. Just outrage, applause, and thoughts about how fat the silver lining still is even in India-emulating Trumpland. You've got to admire a country where mockery isn't just tolerated, it's monetised. It's a celebration of critique and creative combustion. South Park is America's sweaty, profane love letter to liberty - proof that in a truly democratic society, even the most powerful person is fair game for fart jokes and genital takedowns.

IND vs ENG: Ben Stokes trolled hilariously after India reject England's offer for draw; memes break internet
England skipper Ben Stokes (Photo by) The final day of the fourth Test between India and England at Old Trafford delivered an unexpected twist, and the internet loved every bit of it. With India cruising at 386/4, leading by 75 runs, England skipper Ben Stokes casually walked up to Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar and offered a handshake to draw the match. But instead of wrapping things up, the Indian duo politely declined, and social media erupted. At that point, Jadeja was on 89 not out and Sundar on 80 not out, both eyeing well-deserved centuries after dragging India from 0/2 to safety with a 150-run unbeaten partnership. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Their refusal to end the game early caught Stokes visibly off-guard. He shook his head, muttered a few words, and walked away, bemused and slightly miffed. Fans online instantly picked up on the awkwardness. Memes featuring Stokes's confused expression. Stokes responded by bringing Harry Brook on to bowl, and Jadeja, in poetic fashion, lofted him for six to complete his hundred, his third in Tests. It was cricketing theatre, wrapped in grace, grit, and a bit of petty spice. Sundar also completed his maiden Test ton before the match was eventually drawn. Post-match, Shubman Gill backed the decision: 'It was up to the boys, but we felt they batted brilliantly. Both of them were in their 90s, and we believed they deserved to get to their centuries.' For a team that's drawn just two of 40 Tests under the Stokes-McCullum regime, this was unfamiliar territory and perhaps why emotions boiled over. But for fans, it was vintage Test cricket : dramatic, tense, and unexpectedly hilarious. All eyes now turn to the series decider at The Oval.
