Others pointed out the wider global context. "It's not only India. Mexico, Africa, Asia – most of the non-White, non-Western world get the same treatment. Very sad this is still happening in 2025," one person wrote. Another said, "So sad that people have such terrible things to say to people just living their life."

Meet Dharmendra's daughters Ajeita Deol, Vijeta Deol, never worked in films, one is a teahcer, other works as..., their husbands are...
Bollywood's most iconic actor, who ensured that all retro lovers had his name on their lips, is Dharmendra. The 1960s, considered the golden era of Bollywood, introduced cinema lovers to a fresh, handsome, and super-talented actor — Dharmendra. He made his debut with the film Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere. The film was a huge hit and marked the beginning of Dharmendra's long acting journey. While the actor was climbing the ladder of success in his professional life, his personal life saw various ups and downs. The Sholay star has been married twice and is a father to two sons and four daughters. While everyone knows about Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, whom Dharmendra shares with his first wife Prakash Kaur, let's tell you more about his four daughters. Dharmendra's Daughters Dharmendra married Prakash Kaur in 1954 when he was just 19 years old. Together, they had four children: Sunny, Bobby, Ajeita, and Vijeta. While everyone knows about Dharmendra and Hema Malini's daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol, not many people are aware of Ajeta and Vijeta. Who is Ajeita Deol Ajeita Deol is a psychology teacher at a school in the United States. She is married to Indian-American dentist Kiran Chaudhary, and the couple has two daughters, Nikita and Priyanka Chaudhary. Though Ajeta's brothers Sunny and Bobby Deol are well-known actors, she chose to stay away from the limelight. Who is Vijeta Deol? Dharmendra named his production company, Vijeta Production Private Limited, after her. According to media reports, Vijeta is married to Vivek Gill, and the couple lives in Delhi. She is also the director of Rajkamal Holdings and Trading Private Limited. Like her sister Ajeta, Vijeta has also chosen to stay away from the showbiz industry. Meanwhile, after Dharmendra remarried and tied the knot with Hema Malini, the couple was blessed with two daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol. While Esha is an actress who has appeared in several movies, Ahana also chose the same field.

She debuted as a Kingfisher Calendar model, became a cricket host, and got a surprise on-field proposal on live TV: Who is Karishma Kotak?
During the World Championship of Legends 2025 final, WCL owner Harshit Tomar unexpectedly proposed to British model and cricket anchor Karishma Kotak live on air, overshadowing South Africa's victory. The proposal instantly went viral. (Image: Instagram/ karishmakotak26) While the South Africa Champions celebrated their resounding victory over Pakistan Champions in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 final at Edgbaston, one moment off the pitch stole the thunder from even AB de Villiers' spectacular 120-run knock — a live on-air proposal that no one saw coming. British model, TV presenter, and cricket anchor Karishma Kotak found herself in the spotlight for reasons beyond her crisp commentary and vibrant hosting style. WCL owner Harshit Tomar, during a post-match interaction, cheekily turned a professional moment into a personal surprise by proposing to Kotak on camera — a gesture that instantly went viral and sent fans into a frenzy. In the now-circulating clip, Karishma is seen asking Tomar how he plans to celebrate the WCL victory. In a bold and unexpected reply, Tomar says he'd like to marry the anchor, leaving Karishma visibly stunned and speechless. The internet has since been buzzing, dissecting the age difference, speculating about their equation, and joking about the spontaneity of the proposal. A user on social media even commented, 'Relax guys. She is 18 years older than him, probably it is just a compliment to a 43-year-old single aunt with some back story between them. Aunty may be stalking the young lad off the field.' Despite the mixed reactions, the moment has undeniably brought Karishma Kotak back into the limelight. — BollyTellyBuzz (@BollyTellyBuzz) Born in London, Karishma is no stranger to fame. She began her modelling career at the age of 16 and steadily carved a niche for herself in both the fashion and entertainment industries. Her big break came when she was featured in the 2006 Kingfisher Calendar, a stepping stone that launched many successful careers in the modelling world. Over the years, she's worked with premium brands including Dove, Tanishq, Pond's, Titan, and Wella Hair Colour, among others. Apart from her modelling prowess, Karishma gained nationwide recognition after appearing on Bigg Boss Season 6 and later as a host on Extraaa Innings during IPL 6. In 2016, she ventured into regional cinema with the Punjabi film Kaptaan. In an earlier conversation with ETimes, Kotak reflected on her unconventional entry into sports presenting. 'Mandira [Bedi] truly paved the way, and I have immense respect for what she brought to the space,' she shared. 'I never planned to be a sports presenter, it just sort of found me! But I think when passion meets preparation, the universe aligns.' This 'alignment of the universe' perhaps extended beyond the cricket field at Edgbaston, as fans now speculate about the equation between her and Tomar, whose estimated net worth reportedly crosses ₹15 crore. While she hasn't responded publicly to the proposal beyond her initial stunned reaction, Karishma Kotak continues to win fans not only for her glamorous presence but also for the grace and spontaneity she showed during an unexpected moment in a high-pressure setting.
