Karnataka's Minister for Kannada and Culture, Shivaraj Tangadagi, has supported the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) in threatening a ban on Kamal Haasan's upcoming film Thug Life. The controversy stems from Kamal Haasan's remark claiming "Kannada was born out of Tamil", sparking massive backlash across Karnataka. The KFCC has given the actor 2 days to apologise, failing which the movie will not be allowed to release in the state. Kamal Haasan has so far refused to apologise saying he will not offer apology if his remark that Kannada language is born from Tamil is not wrong.#kamalhaasan #thuglifebanned #kannadalanguage #kfccoaction #karnatakaminister #kannadavstamil #languagecontroversy #kamalcontroversy #thuglifemovie #kamalhaasannews #toibharat

Gaurav Gupta Asks Pakistani Guest To Recite Hanuman Chalisa; Aamir Khan Says He Met GF Gauri ‘By Mistake'
Last Updated: Comedian Gaurav Gupta asks a Pakistani fan to recite Hanuman Chalisa during his US tour. In other news, Aamir Khan opens up about his romance with Gauri Spratt. In the midst of heightened political tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack and India's subsequent Operation Sindoor, stand-up comedian Gaurav Gupta brought a moment of unexpected levity during his ongoing US-Canada tour. During one of his shows, Gaurav Gupta found himself interacting with a Pakistani fan in the audience- and what followed was a sharp, witty exchange that's now going viral. Turning to the fan, Gaurav jokingly commanded, 'Chalo Hanuman Chalisa padho ab. Padho, padho!" In a conversation with Raj Shamani, Aamir Khan admitted that following his divorce from Kiran Rao in 2021, he wasn't looking to fall in love again. 'Before I met Gauri, I felt like I had aged… Who will I find at this age?" Aamir reflected. 'Therapy really helped me understand that I needed to love myself first. I had to heal and work on my own emotional health." That healing paved the way for something unexpected. 'Gauri and I met by mistake. We connected, became friends… and love happened," he said. For More: Aamir Khan Reveals How He Unexpectedly Fell For Gauri Spratt: 'Didn't Think I'd Love Again' Gauahar recently launched her own YouTube podcast 'MaaNoranjan,' in which she opens up about motherhood, pregnancy and more. In the first episode, Gauahar opened up about suffering a miscarriage in the past, before the birth of her son Zehaan. In the podcast, Gauahar was seen tearing up and getting emotional as she talked about the difficult phase in her life. She shared that she suffered the miscarriage after nearly nine weeks of pregnancy, and that it was 'extremely difficult' for her.

The South superstar has refused to apologise, leading several pro-Kannada groups to protest against the actor in Karnataka by burning his effigy and posters. Amid this, Kannada actor-politician Shiva Rajkumar, who has been supporting Haasan's statements, has denied applauding Haasan's remarks. Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan was last seen in the romantic comedy film 'Loveyapa', co-starring Khushi Kapoor, and it marked his theatrical debut. The film failed to perform well at the box office. Now, in a recent conversation with Raj Shamani, Aamir said, 'I think uss film ko bohot negative backlash aaya. It was heavily trolled, nepotism mein bohot chali gayi ki yeh nepo kids hai (I think the film received a lot of negative backlash. It was heavily trolled and got dragged into the nepotism debate, labelled as a 'nepo kid' film). But Junaid and I are not like that. Until now, I've not interfered in his career, nor do I want to. In fact, I discouraged him from formally learning acting." First Published:

Salman Khan once recalled how his uncle adopted a Nepalese domestic worker who was fired from job: 'He's one of our brothers now'
Salman Khan shared a touching story about Tesu, a Nepalese boy. Tesu once worked as a domestic help. After a dispute, Tesu was left without a home. The Khan family sheltered him. Later, Salman's uncle adopted Tesu. Tesu now lives in Indore with his family. Salman considers Tesu as his own brother. Salman was last seen in Sikandar. Salman Khan is known not just for his blockbuster films but also for his deep-rooted family values and compassion. While many are familiar with his close relationship with his adopted sister Arpita Khan, the superstar recently opened up about another touching family story—how a Nepalese domestic worker became an adopted brother, highlighting a lesser-known but heartfelt chapter from his life. A Heartwarming Family Story Few Know During a lighthearted conversation sparked by Jamie Lever's skit on what happens when a domestic worker quits, Salman shared a personal anecdote from his childhood. He recalled how a Nepalese boy named Tesu, who worked for a family on the fourth floor of their building, was suddenly let go after a dispute with the owner's child. With nowhere to go and far from home, Tesu found shelter with the Khans. However, Salman mentioned that their gesture drew complaints from other residents in the building. From Struggle to Stability: Tesu's Journey The superstar further shared that his uncle from Indore happened to be visiting Mumbai at the time and took notice of Tesu's situation. Concerned for the boy, he decided to take him back to Indore and eventually adopted him. Over the years, Tesu built a new life—he got married, had three children, and is now the owner of a property in Indore. Salman affectionately added that Tesu is considered one of their own, a true brother whose life changed for the better. Salman's Upcoming Projects and Recent Work He was last seen in the action thriller Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss. The film starred Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi in prominent roles. Despite the strong cast, Sikandar received mixed to negative reviews, with many critics pointing to its weak storyline. The film also underperformed at the box office.
