Indian tourist attacked by tiger while taking a selfie with the feline in Thailand
The tiger later became aggressive and suddenly attacked the tourist, who could be heard screaming. SIDHARTH SHUKLA/X via ST/ANN PHUKET: An Indian tourist was attacked by a tiger at an animal attraction park in Thailand while he was attempting to take a selfie with the big cat, sparking a debate about the ethics of wildlife tourism. A 25-second video of the attack posted by Sidharth Shukla on X on May 29 has gone viral, with over 3.7 million views. 'Apparently an Indian man attacked by a tiger in Thailand. This is one of those places where they keep tigers like pets and people can take selfies, feed them etc etc,' Sidharth said. It is not known when the incident at Phuket's Tiger Kingdom took place. In the video, the unidentified male tourist is first seen walking with the chained tiger, with a trainer following closely. He stops and kneels next to the animal, while the trainer is seen using a stick to instruct the tiger to sit. The tiger becomes aggressive and suddenly attacks the tourist, who can be heard screaming. The screaming goes on for ten seconds before the footage ends abruptly. Amid concern for the man's wellbeing, Sidharth said the tourist survived with 'minor injuries'. A few commentators noted that the lower back is one of the sensitive parts of a feline's body. 'Cats generally do not like being petted on the lower (back) body especially near (the) butt. This man was petting the tiger continuously near above mentioned body area which must have frustrated the tiger. Final straw was when the man cupped it for a photo,' said kdmangale on X. Some also expressed concerns over what they saw as the exploitation of wild animals for tourism. An X user with the handle Buka Coin said places that keep wild animals for tourists to feed or take pictures with often put both the creatures and humans at risk. Buka Coin expressed hopes that this incident will spark 'better awareness and safer, more humane wildlife tourism'. Sanjay Madrasi Pandey claimed the wild animals at such attractions are often heavily drugged to appear docile, but it would not inhibit their true nature. 'As the sedation fades, a tiger can turn violent, posing a grave threat. Responsible travel demands caution and respect for the untamed power of wildlife.' - The Straits Times/ANN

Param Sundari first look: Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in another ‘north meets south' Bollywood flick. Watch
Maddock Films have just released the first look for their upcoming romantic film Param Sundari, featuring stars Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles. Tushar Jalota will be helming the project, and from an initial glance, the film looks like a 'two lovers from different backgrounds' story, a thread both actors have pulled in their prior films. Param (Sidharth) and Sundari (Janhvi) belong to opposite sides of our country, with the former likely playing a 'loud and heart-on-his-sleeve' kind of guy from the North and the latter emulating a sophisticated, sober and intelligent girl from the South. The video introduces them as such, with the grand shots of the two dancing and singing amid nature, wearing matching outfits for every different shot. A montage of shots then comes together, showcasing the obvious troubles they are going to face in the story, such as Param being chased by people presumably from Sundari's family or Param walking away from a house that seems to be decorated for a wedding while someone who is Sundari turns her back to him. ALSO READ: Janhvi Kapoor couldn't care less about being called 'plastic', predicts that she'll be trolled for her looks at Cannes The first look seems to give a sneak peek into a story that is going to be through and through Bollywood, with fans likening it to 'Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol-like' dance sequences and the 'Ranbir Kapoor walking away from a wedding' sequences. Director Tushar Jalota is being joined by Sachin-Jigar for the music of the film, while Amitabh Bhattacharya has penned the lyrics. While Sidharth is coming off a lacklustre performance in Yodha (2024), Janhvi just experienced a career-defining moment just a few days ago when Homebound, a film she was starring in alongside Ishaan Khatter, received a 9-minute-long ovation at the Cannes International Film Festival. As Sidharth looks for a win on the professional front, he has his hands full on the personal side, as he and wife Kiara Advani are expecting their first child soon. The Bollywood couple announced the pregnancy earlier this year.
