Swara Bhaskar
, who's currently winning hearts on Pati Patni Aur Panga with husband Fahad Ahmad, issued a statement calling out the trolls. She mentioned how husband Fahad is being called a 'chhapri' and a 'street vendor from Dongri.
'
Swara took to her social media handle and slammed trolls for negative comments against husband Fahad. She reacted to some of the hate comments and expressed her disappointment over the same.
She wrote, 'This twit who describes himself both as a proud Hindu and Ambedkarite does not seem to know that Chhapri is a casteist slang… a derogatory term used to describe a community that fixes 'Chappras' or thatched huts. Also, nothing wrong with being a street vendor from Dongri or anywhere, you casteist/classist trash-brain! #casteistAlert.'
She is currently making headlines for her participation in Pati Patni Aur Panga with husband Fahad Ahmad. Hina Khan-Rocky Jaiswal, Rubina Dilaik-Abhinav Shukla, Debina Bonnerjee-Gurmeet Choudhary, Avika Gor-Milind Chandwani, Swara Bhaskar-Fahad Ahmad, Geeta Phogat-Pawan Kumar, and Sudesh Lehri-Mamta Lehri are participating in Pati Patni Aur Panga.
In the show, Swara shared her thoughts on her wedding: 'There was something poetic about beginning our married life in the same home where I spent my childhood. That space held bedtime stories, vacations, growing pains… and now, it holds our wedding memories too. Celebrating there was a throwback to so many things; it was a reunion of every version of me — the daughter, the granddaughter, and the wife. I loved telling the story of our wedding on Pati Patni Aur Panga — it was far from perfect, but we made it our own with everything we had.

Udaipur Files movie review: Film about Kanhaiya Lal murder case is buried under fluff and questionable intent

Udaipur Files movie review Cast: Vijay Raaz, Rajneesh Duggal, Preeti Jhangiani Director: Bharat S Shrinate Rating: ★.5 Imagine making a two-hour-plus film about a tragic story that can be summed up in one line: a man is killed in the name of religion. Based on the real-life Kanhaiya Lal murder case, Udaipur Files: Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder stuffs in so much extra that it ends up feeling less about the man and more about the fluff. The film Udaipur Files attempts to explore the Kanhaiya Lal murder but is marred by incoherence and excessive subplots. Directed by Bharat S Shrinate, the story opens by charting the souring of Hindu-Muslim relations over temples and mosques. When authorities discover that a mosque was once a temple, all hell breaks loose, sparking communal unrest. Kanhaiya Lal (Vijay Raaz), a tailor, lives a content life with his wife and two sons until he is targeted by Nazim (Puneet Vashishth), himself a pawn in the hands of those intent on creating chaos. There is also a police investigation angle, with Rajneesh Duggal as cop Ishwar Singh and Preeti Jhangiani as his wife Anjana, a news anchor. If this plot description sounds all over the place, that is because it is. Written by Bharat Singh, Jayant Sinha, and Amit Jani, the film is unfocused, dabbling in religion, politics, and romance, and repeatedly starting subplots only to abandon them. There is even an inexplicable five-minute sequence in the first half that looks straight out of an AI generator. The production values are visibly low. Long embroiled in controversy, the film wears it on its sleeve. Some scenes make no sense, with abrupt jumps between unrelated tracks and nearly 80 percent of the runtime heavily dubbed. Scene-to-scene connectivity is missing. The music is forgettable, and songs appear out of nowhere. In the middle of a murder case narrative, we get two songs about Hindu pilgrimage sites, which feel more like tourism ads than organic storytelling. The pacing is erratic, the turns predictable, and the cartoonish antagonist Nazim drags Udaipur Files into territory better suited for a Crime Patrol episode. Even the usually dependable Vijay Raaz cannot rescue this bland mix of mediocre performances and a headless-chicken script. At points, the film's intentions feel troubling, with the villainisation of one religion as blatant as it gets. Overall, Udaipur Files takes a true story and drowns it in cluttered subplots and one-dimensional characters. With erratic pacing, forgettable music, and an over-the-top antagonist, it ends up feeling more like sensationalised television than a serious cinematic retelling.

World Sanskrit Day 2025: Anil Kumble And Wife Chetana Send Wishes In Video Message

World Sanskrit Day 2025: Former Indian cricket captain and legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble, along with his wife Chetana Kumble, a noted literary scholar, joined the nation in celebrating World Sanskrit Day by sharing a special video message wishing everyone on the occasion. World Sanskrit Day, observed this year on August 9, coincides with Shravan Poornima, an auspicious day in the Hindu calendar that also marks Raksha Bandhan. The day honours Sanskrit - often referred to as Devavani or the "language of the gods" - widely regarded as one of the world's oldest and most structured languages. Watch the video here: विश्वसंस्कृतदिवसनिमित्तं क्रिकेटक्रीडकः श्रीमान् अनिलकुंबलेमहोदयः तथा श्रीमती चेतनाकुंबलेभगिनी शुभाशयान् दत्तवन्तौ। #SanskritDiwas #SanskritSaptah #Sanskrit4all #SanskritWeek #SamskritaDinam #संस्कृतवाक्यानि #Sanskrit4Youth #संस्कृतम् #samskritam #संस्कृतदिनम् #संस्कृतसप्ताह — Samskrita Bharati (@samskritbharati) August 9, 2025 In their message, the couple highlighted the importance of preserving and promoting Sanskrit, calling it a timeless treasure of India's cultural heritage. While the language may not be in everyday use, it continues to thrive through Vedic recitations, rituals, classical arts, and academic research. In the video message, Chetana urged everyone to read, learn, and study the Sanskrit language. Sanskrit Day was first celebrated in 1969 through a joint effort by the Government of India and Sanskrit institutions. The event aims to encourage Sanskrit learning, showcase its intellectual depth, and inspire younger generations to connect with the language's rich legacy. Every year, Sanskrit Week is also observed nationwide, with this year's celebrations running from August 6 to 12, 2025. Traditionally, Shravan Poornima marked the beginning of the academic year in ancient India, when students commenced their study of scriptures. A Sanskrit verse beautifully sums up the language's essence: Amritam Sanskritam Mitram, Sarsam Saralam Vachah; Ekta-Moolakam Rashtram, Gyan-Vigyan-Poshakam - meaning Sanskrit is elegant, clear, and unifying, fostering knowledge and scientific growth.
