R Madhavan about the importance of respect in a relationship
At the recent trailer launch event, Fatima stated that an equal love is one where people respect each other and value one another's opinions. She believes that in a secure relationship, such views would not be dismissed outright.

"Mere saath hua tha ki ek baar jab galti se maine kisi speech mein ek ladki ko PYT, Pretty Young Thing bol diya and I didn't mean to objectify and it was something that was meant as a compliment jab hum school mein thayy. Par woh maine baad mein realise ki yeh ek objectification ho gaya hai. Toh woh joh barabari hai woh koi samajh nahi paaya hai," he shared.

'The worst-dressed couple!!': Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce blasted for having no fashion sense after cringe NYC date-night look
Taylor Swift's recent date-night ensemble with Travis Kelce in New York City has sparked considerable online criticism (Image via Twitter, PEOPLE) Taylor Swift 's latest date-night look with NFL star Travis Kelce has unexpectedly shifted the spotlight from her relationship to her wardrobe — and fans aren't holding back. While the couple's New York City appearance on June 20 should've been a romantic public moment, Swift's fashion choice instead triggered a wave of harsh online criticism. Taylor Swift's date-night outfit for Travis Kelce draws fan backlash and calls for a new stylist Wearing a powder-blue corset-style top from Reformation paired with a Miu Miu embroidered mini skirt and cream heels, Taylor Swift clearly intended to channel a polished and playful summer vibe. The look was completed with her signature red lipstick, a side-swept French braid, and a white shoulder bag — all subtle nods to her 1989 era. — people (@people) But the internet was unimpressed. Across social media, fans and fashion commentators alike voiced strong disapproval. One critic @jamielopez3040 said, 'Taylor really has no fashion sense,' while another @beachbabs added, 'Time to drop the schoolgirl act and ditch the bangs.' One user @this_brown_egg went further: 'That skirt looks ridiculous. It's made for a child.' And the critique didn't stop with Swift — even Kelce was roped in with the jab, 'The worst-dressed couple!! They both need to hire a stylist immediately!!' Fans slam Taylor Swift for her fashion choice (Image via Instagram) From nostalgic fashion to questionable choices: Is Taylor Swift's style slipping? This isn't the first time Swift's fashion has raised eyebrows recently. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nigeria Solar Panels: See How Much It Will Cost To Install Them (See Prices) Solar Panel | Search Ads Undo A prior outing with Selena Gomez also drew backlash after she wore a black Gucci mini dress and chunky platform heels — described by fans as having a mismatched '1990s prom vibe.' One fan summed it up bluntly: 'Taylor's dress is so ill-fitting on her body type... Taylor has zero style.' The recurring criticism has led many to question whether the pop superstar's signature mix of vintage flair and modern fashion has lost its edge. While Swift is known for leaning into nostalgic callbacks, some argue she's becoming more of a 'style follower' than a trendsetter. 'Tay Tay needs a new stylist,' another fan urged. Yet, despite the backlash, fashion insiders note that her corset top — Reformation's Seren — is a current best-seller, indicating Swift's eye for trendy, sustainable pieces hasn't disappeared completely. The disconnect, they argue, lies in the overall execution, not the individual pieces.

South Asian-origin Brit named as man arrested at Disneyland Paris for mock wedding to 9-year-old
(Photo credit: Metropolitan Police) LONDON: A South Asian-origin British national called Jacky Jhaj has been named by UK media as the man arrested in Disneyland Paris last weekend for organising a mock wedding to a 9-year-old Ukrainian girl. Jaskarn, or Jacky Jhaj (39), was arrested last Saturday at the theme park when a 55-year-old actor who had been paid €12,000 to play the role of the father of the bride contacted police when he realised the bride was a child and she turned up looking 'scared and confused'. Jhaj is a convicted paedophile in Britain. He was jailed in 2016 for sexual activity with two 15-year-old girls and placed on the UK sex offenders register. Around 100 children and 200 adults had been paid to take part in the fake ceremony at the Sleeping Beauty castle. The mock wedding was to feature violinists, a cake, and chairs were laid out. TOI understands the plan was to create a video for social media. Jhaj had hired Disneyland Paris for several hours before it opened for the stunt, costing £110,000, allegedly using fake Latvian ID. He was going to play the role of groom to the child bride who could not walk in her bridal dress and heels and had to be carried. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like กำลังเทรดสกุลเงิน THB หรือ USD อยู่หรือเปล่า? IC Markets สมัคร Undo The 41-year-old Ukrainian mother of the girl, a 24-year-old Latvian woman who was to play the bride's sister, and the 55-year-old Latvian man acting as the groom were also arrested and have since been released. Jhaj appeared in front of a judge in Meaux, north-east Paris, on June 23 and was charged with fraud, breach of trust, money laundering, and identity theft. He remains in custody. He is a serial prankster behind scores of similar weird stunts. He hired hundreds of teenagers and children, some as young as six, to act as his fawning fans at a fake red carpet film premiere in Leicester Square in 2023 at which he pretended to be a film star, and last year he organised a fake funeral at London Oratory with a horse-drawn carriage and empty coffin, hiring extras as mourners. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: 'A 39-year-old man is wanted by the Met Police for breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a breach of a Sex Offenders' Register notification requirement. We are aware the man has been arrested in France for other matters and officers are in contact with the French authorities.'
