"Memes and trolls do not define me...": Bipasha Basu claps back at trolls fat-shaming her post-childbirth
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 14 (ANI): Actress Bipasha Basu has recently hit back at online trolls who criticised her weight gain after childbirth, making it clear that their hurtful remarks and memes do not define her or her worth. The actor, who gave birth to her first child in November 2022, shared her thoughts in a strong Instagram response, addressing the body-shaming and unrealistic expectations faced by women after becoming mothers. Bipasha responded to a viral Instagram reel that focused on her post-partum appearance. The reel juxtaposed images of the actor from earlier years with more recent photos, accompanied by the song 'Night Changes,' seemingly emphasising her physical transformation. The post quickly gained attention, with several users commenting on her weight gain. In her reply, Bipasha made it clear that the memes and trolls had no impact on her sense of self. 'Thank you for your clear words... Hope the human race does not remain so shallow and so low forever... and they encourage and applaud women for the million roles they play each day,' she wrote in the comment section of the post. 'I am a super confident woman with a very evolved loving partner and family. Memes and trolls do not define me ever... nor did they make me who I am. But these are deeply disturbing reflections of the society towards women,' she emphasised. The actress added that such body-shaming behaviour could deeply affect others. 'Another woman in my place could be deeply affected and scarred with the viciousness,' she noted, shedding light on the often unspoken pressures women face, especially after childbirth. Bipasha's words were also backed by former Miss India and beauty influencer, Shweta Vijay Nair, who took to Instagram to address the unrealistic standards placed on women, particularly mothers. Bipasha's response to Nair's reel resonated with many women, especially those who feel the weight of societal expectations. 'Anyways if we have more strong voices and at least women understanding and applauding women for who they are, then women will rise higher and higher :) We are unstoppable ladies,' Bipasha added in her comments. Bipasha's husband, actor Karan Singh Grover, also posted a message of support on Instagram. 'We should be putting all the women we know and love on a pedestal and praying to them. They are the gods/goddesses we should pray to,' he said, adding, 'Nothing else could have created something as beautiful as life.' The couple's journey into parenthood began on November 12, 2022, when they welcomed their daughter, Devi Basu Singh Grover. Bipasha has since focused on her new role as a mother, dedicating her time to raising Devi. (ANI)

Case against 4 betting sites as student loses 50L, pal ends life
Hyderabad: Cyberabad police have registered a case against four online betting portals and six other individuals accused of defrauding a 27-year-old student of 50 lakh and allegedly driving another man to suicide. On Friday night, a student from Miyapur filed a complaint detailing how Instagram reels led him to a Telegram channel in December 2023, while he was pursuing a management degree in Italy. The channel, operated by a fraudster claiming to be from Jagtial, promised 'guaranteed toss-fix' predictions for cricket matches and displayed fabricated screenshots of significant winnings. After receiving two initially correct tips, the complainant and his friend, a native of Bhopal, began wagering substantial sums through various betting websites promoted by the fraudsters in 2024. "He promised fixed match outcomes, showed fake screenshots of winnings, and encouraged us to place bets through offshore betting websites. Initially, he gave two correct predictions, likely staged to gain our trust. Encouraged by this and reassured by his repeated promises, we began placing bets via money transfers. All subsequent predictions turned out to be false. I personally lost around 50 lakh, while my friend from Bhopal, who placed even larger bets on credit, lost about 60 lakh," the complainant alleged. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo According to police, the fraudsters operated multiple invitation-only Telegram groups to conceal their identities and promote illegal betting, posing a threat to public order by staying ahead of enforcement measures. "Tragically, due to the psychological pressure caused by the fraudsters' repeated false assurances, my friend ended his life on December 6, 2024. The network is a serious threat to public order, promoting illicit betting sites and using mule accounts to launder money," said the complainant, who is now back in Hyderabad. Following the complaint, Cyberabad cyber crime police registered a case under Sections 316(5) (criminal breach of trust by a public servant, banker, merchant or agent), 318(4) (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), and 61(2) (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Section 3(1)(i) of the Telangana Gaming Act, and Section 66-D of the IT Act against four betting websites and six fraudsters promoting them through social media groups. Police are currently analysing evidence provided by the complainant, including chat logs and transaction records, to zero in on the offenders.
