Mithun Chakraborty's witty Tsunami threat to Bilawal Bhutto; Actor's ‘140 crore' quip sparks reactions - 'Kya dialogue mara dada'
Actor-turned-political leader
Mithun Chakraborty
on Tuesday (August 12) responded sharply — and humorously — to remarks made by former Pakistan foreign minister
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari
regarding India's handling of the
Indus Waters Treaty
.
In a video shared by ANI, speaking to reporters in Kolkata, Mithun didn't just counter the claim — he made it memorable. 'Agar aisi baatein karte rahenge aur humari khopdi sanak gayi toh phir ek ke baad ek BrahMos challenge,' he warned, suggesting that repeated provocations could trigger a strong response. Then came his trademark wit: 'We have also thought of building a dam where 140 crore people will p**. After that, we will open the dam, and a tsunami will occur.

Bilawal's claim and Mithun's sarcastic twist
Bilawal had alleged that diverting the Indus River's water away from Pakistan amounted to an attack on its history, culture, and civilisation, with Sindh being hit hardest. Mithun, known for his no-nonsense attitude and tongue-in-cheek remarks, stressed that his comments were not directed at the people of Pakistan, but solely at Bilawal himself.
Netizens react - kya dialogue mara dada
Several Twitter users have commented to Mithun's remarks. One comment read, "BrahMos is fine, but a 140 crore p** dam? " Another one wrote, "Language bhai sahab" A third comment read, "kya dialogue mara dada."
Back to the big screen with a unique role
While his political comments made headlines, Mithun is also making waves in cinema. He was last seen in 'Shreeman v/s Shreemati' (2025), a family comedy-drama where he plays a judge infamous for never granting divorces. Directed by Pathikrit Basu and starring Anjana Basu and Anjan Dutt alongside Mithun, the film blends light-hearted humour with an emotional core. The movie received decent reviews with a 3 star rating from ETimes.
The actor was also seen in 'Riwaj'.

Larger conspiracy underway to manipulate voter lists, alleges Congress
The Congress on Saturday alleged that a larger conspiracy was underway to manipulate voter lists and suppress democratic participation and unveiled the route map of the party's upcoming Voter Rights Yatra, set to begin on August 17. Congress leader Pawan Khera. (ANI) 'Those who conspire will not back down, they will try to steal votes.. The way the game of adding and deleting fake votes was being played, BJP people have been caught red-handed. Now even ordinary citizens are providing evidence of vote theft…Today, the right to vote is being taken away from Dalits, the deprived, the oppressed, the exploited, and minorities; tomorrow, their participation will be taken away. A conspiracy was being hatched to attack the poor sections of this country, against which the people of the country have raised their voices,' Congress' media and publicity department chairman Pawan Khera said at a press conference in Delhi. According to the Congress, the Yatra will start from Sasaram in Bihar and cover 1,300 km across the state in 16 days. It will conclude in Patna with a public rally attended by leaders of the INDIA bloc. Taking aim at the Election Commission, Khera alleged that the institution was functioning as 'just a compartment of this double engine' and vowed continued resistance. 'We are fighting against this and will continue to do so in the future…The 'Voter Rights Yatra' will be a historic journey. This journey will prove to be a milestone in the fight for the existence of all of us,' he added.

Officers Qureshi, Singh & Deosthalee on KBC hot seat—a Bollywood-like spectacle
A lot has already been said about the officers appearing on KBC . 'In any serious nation with a professional military, this would be unthinkable,' said Kerala Congress in an X post. Eyebrows have been raised regarding the fact that they appear in full uniform. Operation Sindoor needs to be relived, and two months later, a curated version is being transmitted through a quiz show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Naval Officer Prerna Deosthalee entered the hallowed halls of Kaun Banega Crorepati to a sped-up version of Vande Bharatram . They struck poses—an appropriate blend of solemnity and showmanship. Throughout the episode, they were accompanied by a soundtrack that appeared to be giving instructions to the viewer, telling them how to feel. The episode itself was ultimately a meticulously choreographed ode to Operation Sindoor and the armed forces. No words were minced—phrases like 'enemy', 'new India', and 'terrorist' were distributed in ample supply—and so was the drama. The viewer was witness to a spectacle in which the serious and the unserious blurred together, one indecipherable from the other. It wasn't dissimilar from our television channels during the operation—when news was entertainment and part of a performance. Bachchan played the role of an awestruck citizen, asking the trio questions about how the mission was pulled off. He reiterated the importance of their positions as female officers. 'Beauty was turned into fear. Tourism in Pahalgam was at its peak,' said Colonel Qureshi. '[Operation Sindoor] wasn't retaliation, but an answer. This is new India. Terrorism will not be tolerated.' She also listed the terrorist attacks committed by Pakistan: 2001, 2008, 2016, and 2019. The episode was punctuated by footage from the strikes, provided by ANI. It was explicitly mentioned by Commander Singh that India is a 'peace-loving nation' and only the LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammad strongholds of Bahawalpur and Muridke were hit. But the spectacle of the episode was such that it became difficult to differentiate between stock footage of mushroom-like clouds and explosions, and the clips that served as critical proof of the operation. Also read: Hrithik Roshan & Jr NTR in Janaab-e-Aali is exactly what a dance-off should not be Promoting patriotism There were distinct echoes of Bollywood in the episode. KBC and other reality shows have almost always served as platforms for actors to promote their films prior to release. It is dizzying to think that now it is the armed forces, delivering messages to the 'enemy' and sharing details of strikes, making exactly the same use of Amitabh Bachchan's hot seat. At one point in the episode, Commander Deosthalee, who is the first Indian woman to command a naval warship, compared the three of them to a trishul (trident): such was their synergy. There was also a seamless pivot from answering a question about Julius Petri, the inventor of the petridish—Singh was quick to answer because her father was a science teacher—to the Kashmiri Muslims who helped the tourists down the valley following the terror attack. A video of the officers' testimonies was shown, as well as of those who witnessed the Poonch shelling. 'The firing was one from 1 to 6. Our Indian Army gave an answer. If 10 rounds of firing were coming our way, we were sending 20,' said one witness. 'We are so proud of our Army.' While Qureshi, Singh, and Deosthalee were all playing to support various charity organisations adjacent to the armed forces, the quiz itself was a supporting character—an appendage to the glory of Operation Sindoor. Bachchan also asked them about their trajectories. Qureshi comes from an Army family where she was lulled to sleep not by 'lullabies but by songs of bravery'. Throughout the episode, there was an unspoken aspiration being presented: to join the armed forces. Toward the end, Bachchan asked members of the trio's family to share their experiences. 'I came home from school, and while I was surprised to see my mother on TV, I trusted her,' said Singh's daughter. Mother and daughter shared a hairstyle, and there was a sweet mix of emotion and pride on Singh's face. It was one of the few natural, unpracticed moments in an otherwise carefully choreographed episode. Views are personal. (Edited by Prasanna Bachchhav)
