World No Tobacco Day: Director Anubhav Sinha marks 5 years as a non-smoker; says youth shouldn't take to it ever
On World No Tobacco Day today, we get filmmaker Anubhav Sinha to pen down his journey as a non-smoker, celebrating five years of quitting smoking. He writes the following: Smoking, when I was growing up, generally started at boyhood, when you are struggling to become a man. Cigarette advertising back then used to be associated with 'manhood'. Then starts a struggle to quit. But you are deeply addicted to it. Also, you are still at an age where you give an adult damn. You think you are Iron Man. But no one is. What I personally learnt was that cigarette will never forgive you. Never. It will hit back sooner or later. In some form or the other. There are phases of quitting. Some last three days, some seven. Then you run into months of not smoking. Then creeps in a feeling that now I don't need it. But you are wrong. You light one, and you go back to where you were in two days. Then you quit quitting. Then three years later, you start trying again. Ninety-nine per cent of smokers I know want to quit. They are struggling. So, I always tell youngsters never to start. In my opinion it is way rarer to turn into an alcoholic than to turn into a deeply addicted smoker. I have known smokers smoking after a heart attack, after a heart procedure. It is so addictive. I got lucky. Five years back, one day I said, Enough. I had tried no less than 20 times during my thirty-plus years of smoking; one day I quit. I just quit. I tried some alternate addictions, but now I am clean. My pillow doesn't stink anymore. It is a great feeling to ask for non-smoking public spaces. Now I wonder why I smoked ever because after a point cigarettes do nothing to you. You smoke because you smoke. It is a chemical that keeps you hooked. Cross that line, and you see the futility – actually, the damage. Thankfully there was enough support around me, like my younger brother Anupam, who quit a month before me, and my son Shlok, who hates the idea of smoking. So here is a final word to youngsters on the verge of starting for whatever reason. Not starting is way easier than quitting because once you start, you will want to quit, and then it will be way tougher. And if you don't quit, it will hit you hard. Very hard. So, don't start. (Anubhav Sinha is the director of films such as Mulk, Article 15 and Thappad)

Sydney Sweeney releases soap infused with her own bathwater, fans react: ‘Thanks, I'll take 100'
Actor Sydney Sweeney has often complained about people being too obsessed with her looks and not focusing on acting skills. But she also doesn't shy away from capitalising on her appearance. She recently posted about a collaboration with personal care product company Dr Squatch, but this isn't just another brand endorsement. The company has announced a limited edition soap that has been infused with the actual bathwater used by the actor, or so they claim. This bizarre product was revealed via an Instagram post with quite an interesting caption: 'Introducing: Sydney's Bathwater Bliss Sydney Sweeney. In collaboration with Sydney Sweeney, we created a limited-edition soap infused with her ACTUAL bathwater. Why? Because you all wouldn't stop asking. And Sydney said, 'Let's do it' (what a legend).' Sydney only posted a picture of the brand new soap with the caption, 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the Dr Squatch ad… so we kept it.' ALSO READ: Sydney Sweeney calls off wedding to Jonathan Davino, attends wedding of Glen Powell's sister: 'No compromise with her magical career' Fans took to the comment section of the post, and while some expressed excitement with GIFs and remarks in capital letters, many were unsure about this collaboration. A user commented, 'Thanks, I'll take 100,' while another remarked, 'We got Syndey Sweeney Dr Squatch bathwater soap before GTA 6.' Many expressed their confusion over the collab. One person commented, 'Alright, this is getting ridiculous,' and another wrote, 'Sydney honey I love you, but I don't know about this.' Interestingly, this isn't the weirdest thing a celebrity has decided to sell, as many may remember Gwyneth Paltrow's infamous Goop candle. The Iron Man actor came up with candles which smelt like her vagina. Sweeney's Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi has previously sold candles infused with his bathwater, which was a reference to a scene in the film Saltburn. On the professional front, Euphoria's next season is all set to premiere in 2026, and Sweeney will also be seen in the film Americana, alongside Halsey, Paul Walter Hauser, Simon Rex, Zahn McClarnon and Eric Dane. The film will release on August 22.

EA Cancels ‘Black Panther' Game, Shutters Cliffhanger Games Studio, Gamers React
Source: EA/ Cliffhanger Games / Black Panther That Black Panther standalone we were all excited for is no longer happening. IGN broke the news that EA has taken away Cliffhanger Games' heart-shaped herb and has cancelled one of the games Marvel fans have been eagerly anticipating since it was first announced back in July 2023. According to the website, EA Entertainment President Laura Miele stated in an email that the recent changes, cancellations, and other moves were aimed at 'sharpening our focus and putting our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities.' The bad news for the gaming industry doesn't stop there, EA is also laying off an unspecified number of workers on both mobile and central teams. IGN reports that EA declined to comment on the specific number but believes, while not confirming that the number is less than the roughly 300 employees let go last month across Respawn and EA's Fan Care teams. 'These decisions are hard,' said Miele. 'They affect people we've worked with, learned from, and shared real moments with. We're doing everything we can to support them — including finding opportunities within EA, where we've had success helping people land in new roles.' Gamers Are Sad About Black Panther's Cancellation & Layoffs At EA As you can imagine, the gaming community isn't taking this news very well. 'You've got to be fucking kidding me. First Wonder Woman (a female led game) gets cancelled and now Black Panther (a poc led game) gets cancelled, and neither of them ever had a video game before. This really is Trvmp's America…' one post on X, formerly Twitter, read. ' more layoffs as the Black Panther game cancelled and the studio closed it keeps getting worse :(,' Kinda Funny and GamerTag Radio's Parris Lilly said. While we are not getting the Black Panther game, EA says it is still committed to bringing us that Iron Man game currently being developed by Motive, and will focus on Battlefield , The Sims , Skate , and Apex Legends . What a sad time to be a gamer and Marvel fan, just saying. The video game streets are still talking; you can see those reactions below.
