Pakistani actor Bushra Ansari has slammed lyricist Javed Akhtar after he criticised Pakistan following the Pahalgam terrorist attack last month. As reported by Reviewit.pk, Bushra, during her trip abroad, said that Javed should stop talking about the matter. Talking about Javed, she added that 'marne mein aapke do ghanta reh gaye hai (you have less time in your life).'

Criticising Javed, Bushra said without naming him, 'Humare writer so-called, unko toh bahana hi chahiye tha. Actually unko toh makaan kiraaye pe nahi milta tha Bombay mein. Apni existence k liye jitni chahe woh (gestures speaking) karsakte hai...Pata nahi kya kya bol rahe hai aap. Koi haya kare. Marne mein aapke do ghanta reh gaye hai, upar se aap itni fizool baatein karrahe hai (Our writer, he needs an excuse. Actually, he didn't get any house on rent in Bombay. For his existence, he can speak anything he wants...What are you saying? Have shame. You have a few years to live, and on top of that, such nonsense you are saying).'

She said that Javed should stay quiet like veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah. "Itna bhi kya koi dare, itna laalach kare. Chalo ji chup karjaaye aap. Naseeruddin Shah bhi toh hai, woh chup baithe hai na? Aur bhi toh chup baithe hai na? Jiske dil mein jo hai woh rakkha rahe. Yeh toh pata nahi kya keh rahe hai. (What is this fear, greed? Keep quiet now. Naseeruddin Shah is there, he is quiet, right? Others are also quiet, right? Whatever you have in your mind, keep to yourself. I don't know what he is saying)?"
Bushra said that she met a few Indian girls who spoke with love to her. She added that people in India aren't bad, but they are being "provoked".
Recently, Javed urged the central government to take strict action against Pakistan for their alleged connections to the Pahalgam attack. Javed was invited to inaugurate the Glorious Maharashtra Festival. While addressing the crowd, he had said, as quoted by news agency ANI, "This has happened not just once but several times. I request that the Central Government take immediate steps. A few crackers on the border will not work. Take a solid step now. Do something so that the mad Army chief there (Pakistan), no sensible person can make a speech like he does."
"He says that Hindus and Muslims are different communities. He does not even care that there are Hindus in his country, too. So, do they have no respect? What kind of man is he? They should get a befitting reply so that they remember. They will not pay heed to anything less. I don't know much about politics. But I do know that it is time for 'aar ya paar," Javed had added. 26 people were killed in a terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22.

Mohammed Siraj, son of auto driver, gets emotional about father's profession; actress reacts

Netizens react About Siraj's upcoming series As the Indian cricket team lands in England for the high-stakes five-match Test series, all eyes are on the beginning of a new era—one without legends like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in whites. Amid intense preparations for the upcoming WTC cycle , fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has turned the spotlight onto something far more personal—and a deeply emotional Instagram post, Siraj reflected on his journey from the narrow lanes of Hyderabad to the grandeur of Lord's, crediting his late father, an auto-rickshaw driver, for the values that shaped him. The cricketer reflected on his journey from being the son of an auto-rickshaw driver to representing India on the world stage. Grateful for every opportunity, he shared how his background, once mocked during his low moments, is actually his greatest strength. His father's relentless hard work taught him the value of persistence and humility. Siraj recalled long walks home after practice, the hunger that shaped him, and how criticism often reduces his story to a stereotype. He questioned why it's so hard for people to see themselves in others, stressing that everyone is striving for a better life, regardless of where they come from. His message was clear: success doesn't ask about your background; it only sees your post quickly went viral, garnering thousands of reactions from fans and public figures alike. Among them was actress Zainai Bhosle—Siraj's close friend, singer, and Asha Bhosle's granddaughter—who expressed admiration for his flooded social media with support. Many from Hyderabad said they felt represented every time he stepped onto the pitch. Others praised him for showing that success is not defined by background but by determination and India prepares to face England in iconic venues like Lord's, Edgbaston, and Old Trafford from June to August 2025, Siraj will play a key role in India's pace attack. Former bowling coach Bharat Arun recently lauded his adaptability and control, saying Siraj's ability to read conditions and use angles will be critical, especially with the Dukes ball in swinging English conditions.

Sant Kabirdas Jayanti 2025: Date, history, significance, his famous couplets—all you need to know

Sant Kabirdas Jayanti 2025: Kabir Jayanti, also known as Kabir Prakat Diwas, commemorates the birth anniversary of Sant Kabir Das, an influential 15th-century Indian mystic poet, saint, and social reformer, and was known for his proclivity for spirituality and critical thinking about religion. Kabirdas' writings, known as 'bhajans' and 'dohas', advocated for social equality, religious harmony, and spirituality and were known to have influenced the Bhakti movement in India. His work includes Bijak, Sakhi Granth, Kabir Granthavali, and Anurag Sagar; a large amount of Kabir's works were compiled by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev, and placed in the Sikh scripture, Guru Granth Sahib. While the exact details of Kabir's birth remain unclear, he is believed to have lived between 1440 and 1518 on Purnima tithi, which is a full moon day in the Hindu month of Jyeshtha, mainly coinciding with May or June, according to the modern Gregorian calendar. The date changes every year, and this year, it will mark his 648th birth anniversary on June 11, 2025, on a Wednesday, according to Drik Panchang. He was born in the city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, with some stories suggesting he was born to a Brahmin mother but raised by a Muslim weaver, a beautiful illustration of the merging of religious influences in his life. Kabir's two-line couplets, known as 'Kabir Ke Dohe', are quite famous. Here are some of them: 1. Aag Jo Lagi Samand Mein, Dhuan Na Pargat Hoye So Jane Jo Jarmua, Jaki Lagi Hoye Translation The Ocean is on Fire; The Smoke is not Visible. He Knows Who Has Been There and Been Burnt -x- 2. Aisee Vani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye Translation Speak such words, and you lose the mind's ego. Body Remains Composed, Others Find Peace -x- 3. Bada Hua To Kya Hua, Jaise Ped Khajoor Panthi Ko Chaya Nahin, Phal Laage Atidoor Translation If you are big, so what? Just like a date tree. No shade for travellers; fruit is hard to reach. -x- 4. Bura Jo Dekhan Main Chala, Bura Naa Milya Koye Jo Munn Khoja Apnaa, To Mujhse Bura Naa Koye Translation I went on the search for the bad guy, bad guy, I couldn't find. When I searched my mind, none is nastier than me. -x-
