Why Did NCB Turn Off The Comments Section Of Alia Bhatt's Video?
Soon after NCB dropped the video of Alia Bhatt spreading awareness against the use of drugs, several social media users attacked the actress and her husband, Ranbir Kapoor. They accused the two Bolloywood stars of consuming drugs and trolled Alia for now being a part of an anti-drug campaign video. '🤣 She and her friends and her khandan is also druggie, criminals," one of the users wrote. 'Haan chor ko hi chowkidari pe laga diya 🤣," added another. Following the backlash, NCB disabled the comments section of the video.
Alia Bhatt's Upcoming Projects
Alia Bhatt, who was last seen in Jigra, will soon be seen in YRF's Spy Universe film, Alpha. Besides this, she also has Brahmastra 2 in her pipeline.
Alia will also be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love And War alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. Previously, in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Alia also talked about the film and her reunion with Ranbir when she said, 'I, as an audience, am more excited to see him [Bhansali] and Ranbir collaborate, again, after so many years. I am like, 'wow, what's that going to be like?" Talking about reuniting with Vicky Kaushal, Alia continued by saying, 'Vicky and I coming together again; Ranbir and Vicky created magic with Sanju. So, it is a lot of combinations."
Love and War is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026.

Last Updated: Neena Gupta shut down a troll who mocked her for wearing shorts at the airport, saying critics are jealous. The actor shared her candid response in an Instagram video. Neena Gupta is once again proving that age is just a number and confidence is everything. The veteran actor recently clapped back at a troll who tried to body-shame her for wearing shorts at the airport. Known for her candid nature and unfiltered approach to life, Neena did not hold back while addressing the negativity. The 65-year-old star had shared a casual Instagram video from the airport, giving fans a glimpse into her travel routine. Dressed in a chic black outfit with shorts, Neena was seen sitting in the waiting lounge and chatting directly with her followers. She revealed her clever hack for surviving long hours at the airport—packing homemade snacks in a tiffin box. Her favorite go-to is roti rolls stuffed with potatoes, chillies, paneer, onions, and other spices, a simple yet wholesome treat. Captioning the video 'Shorts wali desi girl," Neena showed off her mix of comfort and style. Troll Targets Neena Gupta's Outfit While many praised her for her effortless charm, one social media user chose to body-shame her. The comment read: 'Very good …only request don't show your legs, they are not well toned. We have never seen dadi mummy showing their legs this way. Ageing gracefully is excellent." Another follower immediately defended Neena, calling out the woman for being a body-shamer: 'What a demeaning comment from another WOMAN. Congratulations for being such a body shamer and being part of the problem." Neena's Perfect Clapback Never one to mince words, Neena responded directly to the troll in the comments section. 'Don't worry. These people who talk like this are basically jealous that they don't have such good body, so ignore," she wrote, shutting down the negativity with her signature wit. Her response quickly earned appreciation from fans, who lauded her unapologetic confidence and refusal to bow down to outdated notions of how women should dress—especially as they age. On the Work Front Neena Gupta was most recently seen in Anurag Basu's Metro… In Dino, a romantic drama with an ensemble cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and Anupam Kher. The film performed well at the box office, adding another success to her illustrious career. First Published: August 21, 2025, 03:59 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Beloved American judge Frank Caprio, widely known for his compassionate approach to justice, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 88 after a prolonged battle with pancreatic cancer. The news of his death was confirmed on his official Instagram page, which stated that he died 'peacefully" and would be 'remembered not only as a respected judge, but as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Judge Frank Caprio (@therealfrankcaprio) Caprio rose to international recognition through the television series Caught in Providence, which showcased his kind-hearted interactions with defendants in Providence's Municipal Court. Often dealing with minor violations such as overdue parking tickets and traffic offences, Caprio's empathetic approach to justice earned him admiration worldwide. His courtroom moments, frequently captured in viral videos, often ended with warm words, waived fines, or small acts of compassion that made a lasting impression on millions. The show Caught in Providence was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 2021, further cementing his reputation as 'America's Nicest Judge." Caprio served as a municipal judge in Providence, Rhode Island, from 1985 until his retirement in 2023.

Caprio was first admitted to the bar in 1965 after studying law, and over the course of his long career, he became known not only for his rulings but also for the compassion that guided them. He chronicled some of his most memorable courtroom experiences in his book Compassion in the Court: Life-Changing Stories from America's Nicest Judge. Reflecting on his diagnosis in an earlier interview with CNA, Caprio shared, 'My first reaction was disbelief. But then I thought: I have lived a life full of blessings. I'm not going to let this define my later years." He is survived by his wife Joyce, five children, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. view comments Location : Washington D.C., United States of America (USA) First Published: August 21, 2025, 03:23 IST News viral Judge Frank Caprio Dies At 88, Shared Heartfelt Message Hours Before Passing | Watch Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Son Ye Jin Shocked By No Other Choice Director Park Chan Wook's Blunt Reaction: ‘How Could He...'
Last Updated: Son Ye Jin revealed Park Chan Wook's unexpectedly blunt reaction to her dance practice on No Other Choice, leaving the actress stunned despite months of preparation. Son Ye Jin is no stranger to challenging roles, but even she wasn't prepared for director Park Chan Wook's famously high standards. The Crash Landing on You star, who headlines his upcoming film No Other Choice, recently revealed that the celebrated filmmaker left her stunned with a surprisingly blunt comment during a scene that required her to dance. Speaking at a production briefing in Yongsan, Seoul, on August 19, Son Ye Jin admitted that despite three months of intense practice, her performance didn't impress the Oldboy director. 'The director told me, 'I thought you'd be better since you said you practised so much,'" she recalled. 'Inside, I was like, 'How could he say that to me?' I had practised for nearly three months." Park Chan Wook's Brutal Honesty According to Son Ye Jin, Park Chan Wook didn't hold back his reaction, further remarking that her months of effort didn't seem to show in the final result. The actress admitted that the comment took her by surprise, highlighting just how demanding the acclaimed director can be with his cast, regardless of their experience or stature. The dance sequence in question was ultimately cut from the production, but the moment underscored the intense environment on set and Park's determination to bring out nothing short of perfection from his actors. 'It doesn't really show," the director reportedly told her, leaving the actress both shocked and amused in retrospect. A Big-Screen Return for Son Ye Jin No Other Choice marks Son Ye Jin's much-awaited return to cinema following her marriage to fellow actor Hyun Bin and the birth of their son in 2022. The film also stars Park Hee Soon, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Sung Min, Yeom Hye Ran, and Cha Seung Won, with the entire ensemble joining Park and Son at the press event. While the actress laughed off the memory during the briefing, the incident is a reminder of Park Chan Wook's uncompromising standards—something that has earned him international acclaim. Known for masterpieces like Oldboy and The Handmaiden, Park continues to challenge his actors, pushing them beyond their limits to achieve the vision he imagines. No Other Choice is set to have its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 2025, and anticipation is already sky-high. For Son Ye Jin, the project is more than just a comeback—it's another test of resilience under one of Korea's most exacting filmmakers.
