Aapke podcast pe itne bade-bade log aate hain, itne bade sant aate hain, aur fir bhi aapki soch itni ghatiya hai? (You promote Sanatan Dharma and host so many influential people, still your thinking is so shoddy)."Praak later softened his stance in an interview with Hindustan Times.

Sometimes, he would be busy and travelling, and sometimes I would be."Allahbadia landed in legal trouble after making comments about parents and sex on comedian Samay Raina's show.The Youtuber discussed the controversy with actor Emraan Hashmi in his podcast a few months ago.

After Urvashi, Jeo Baby SLAMS National Film Awards: 'Standards Have Fallen...'
Last Updated: Filmmaker Jeo Baby questions the credibility of the National Film Awards, criticises The Kerala Story, and says politically driven films are being rewarded. The recently announced National Film Awards have sparked significant backlash, especially from members of the South Indian film industry. At the heart of the controversy are questions about credibility, merit, and alleged political bias. Many have expressed dismay over Shah Rukh Khan winning Best Actor for Jawan instead of acclaimed performances by Mammootty in Kaathal – The Core and Prithviraj Sukumaran in Aadujeevitham. The recognition given to The Kerala Story—a film widely criticized for peddling propaganda—has only intensified the criticism. Filmmaker Jeo Baby, known for socially resonant films like The Great Indian Kitchen and Kaathal – The Core, did not hold back in a recent interview with Hindustan Times. He questioned the integrity and value of the awards in today's climate. 'For the past 10 years or so, we've seen a pattern. Movies that seem to align with the agenda of ruling parties are winning awards at the national level. These awards seem to have no significance now, as they are encouraging plots and scripts that only the people in power believe in," Jeo said. 'Why have these awards when the movies cannot be treated on merit? What's the value of these awards?" he added. When asked whether he felt let down that Kaathal – The Core, which sensitively explored a homosexual relationship, was overlooked, Jeo clarified that it wasn't about personal disappointment, 'Personally, I've no such disappointment. But the awards given to The Kerala Story, a movie that misrepresented facts, is hugely disappointing. Not only was the movie full of lies, it was also shoddily made. The script, direction and acting were below par. Such misrepresentation of facts is quite scary." He also lamented the overall decline in the standards of national recognition, 'Previously, movies that won national awards were held in high esteem—even internationally. But the standards seem to have fallen. Awards to undeserving movies are an embarrassment. Our image internationally will be dented if this continues. It's not fair to the domestic viewers either." Jeo concluded by revealing that filmmakers often participate in the process not for recognition of their storytelling, but to ensure their technical crew has a shot at national honors,'Sometimes we send our entries only because we feel the technical crew should not miss out on winning a possible award."

'Boys Call Me Fat, But At Night They...': Canadian Model's Bold Claim Goes Viral
Last Updated: Model Olivia Messina says boys who call her fat often message her flirtatiously at night. Her revelation has sparked debate over hidden attraction behind online trolling In this digital age, negative behaviours like trolling and body-shaming are rampant, especially against plus-size women. But is every troll driven purely by malice? Ontario-based plus-size model Olivia Messina has reignited conversation online by revealing that many of her body-shaming critics are also the same boys who message her flirtatiously at night. Provocative And Thought-Provoking Insights In a recent Instagram video, 24-year-old Olivia dissected this paradox. Wearing a bra top and leggings while eating a sandwich, she asked: 'Isn't it odd how the women you label as unattractive keep appearing on your feed?" She then turned the lens on her critics, noting that the most vicious comments often originated from straight men whose profile pictures featured their wives and children. Olivia believes: 'If my body repulses you, why do you continually watch it?" She suspects their shame drives their mockery. From Roast To Flirt Olivia illustrated her theory with personal experience: stating how when she responds nonchalantly to hateful remarks with, 'Thanks" and 'welcome", the tone abruptly shifts and the critic often becomes flirtatious. She suggests that confused exposure, possibly driven by algorithmic suggestions, leads many to her posts and triggers a defensive or shame-based reaction. Olivia also teased further content, stating she'll be uploading a 'What I Eat in a Week" video to her YouTube soon, offering a personal lens into her life beyond the screen. A Wave Of Support Thousands have rallied behind her. One follower commented: 'I find you very attractive! I'm glad you're in my feed; clearly the algorithm is doing its job!" Another applauded her representation of real body types, while others affirmed her message about confidence and visibility. A Broader Conversation This isn't Olivia's first brave stance: in October 2023, she asserted that 'people go crazy when they see confident fat women." Today, her platform, boasting over 429,000 Instagram followers, continues to inspire, provoke, and challenge societal norms. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Honey Singh In Legal Trouble For Millionaire Lyrics, Karan Aujla For MF Gabru: "Won't Tolerate...," Says Women's Panel
New Delhi: Singers Karan Aujla and Honey Singh have landed in legal trouble over the use of derogatory and objectionable language towards women in their songs. The Punjab State Women's Commission has taken suo motu cognisance of the matter and issued notices to both artists and has summoned them to appear on August 11, 2025. Karan Aujla's recently released track MF Gabhru has sparked controversy for allegedly using vulgar language referring to women. The Commission has directed the Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) to appoint a senior officer to investigate the case and has asked Aujla to appear before the Commission on the scheduled date. The official music video for MF Gabhru, composed, written, and sung by Karan Aujla, with music by Ikky, was released on August 1, 2025. The video has already garnered over 30 lakh views on YouTube. Meanwhile, Honey Singh is also facing the heat over his song Millionaire, from his 2024 comeback album Glory. The Women's Commission has also issued a suo motu notice against the singer-rapper. A letter has been sent to the Punjab DGP, requesting an investigation by a senior officer, and Honey Singh has also been directed to appear before the Commission on August 11 at 11:30 AM. For context, Millionaire was released in August last year as part of the 18-track album Glory, which also featured songs like Payal, Jatt Mehkma, Bonita and High On Me. The album was presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series. Speaking about the development, Commission Chairperson Raj Lali Gill said, "Those who use this language cannot be tolerated. That's why I have summoned both of them. These songs will be banned. Singers are the voice of society. She said that on one hand, they say that they love their mother very much. On the other hand, they are using abusive language about mothers in these songs." She added, "Will not tolerate abuses about mother in songs." Reports suggest that both Karan Aujla and Honey Singh are currently abroad, but have still been asked to be present for the hearing. Honey Singh's Past Controversies This is not the first time that Honey Singh has found himself in legal trouble over his lyrics. Back in December 2024, he faced legal action for his song Makhna. The Punjab Women's Commission had then demanded action against the rapper and the makers of the song for allegedly objectionable "lyrics against women." The Commission had also insisted on a ban on the track, citing its "degrading influence on society." At the time, Punjab Women Commission Chairperson Manisha Gulati criticised the lyrics of the song, quoting, " Main hoon womaniser" and " Silicon wali ladkiyon ko main pakadta nahi" as examples of lewd content. She had written to the Punjab DGP, recommending legal action against Singh and T-Series head Bhushan Kumar. In an earlier instance in 2013, Honey Singh was booked by the Punjab Police for his controversial song Main Hoon Balatk**i under Section 294 of the IPC. However, the rapper later denied singing the track, claiming mistaken identity. He submitted an affidavit in the Punjab High Court stating that he was not associated with the song. Another song that has repeatedly stirred controversy is Ch**t Vol. 1, which is believed to have been performed by Honey Singh and Badshah early in their careers. The track is notorious for its explicit lyrics. While Honey Singh has denied involvement in multiple interviews and in his recent Netflix documentary Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous, a clip from a concert resurfaced recently that has reignited debate over his participation. In the viral concert video, audience members can be heard requesting him to perform Vol. 1. Responding, the rapper said, " Woh tere hhar Pe aake sunaunga main, saparivar samet. Aaoon? Ab dekh chup ho gaya. Arey baat dabi hai toh dabi rehne de chhore." (I'll come to your house and sing that song in front of your entire family. Should I come? See, now he is quiet. Let the secrets remain covered.) In the Netflix documentary, Singh had maintained, "It is not my song."
