‘Wanted' actor Prakash Raj appears before Enforcement Directorate in alleged betting app case
Actor Prakash Raj on Wednesday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at its Basheerbagh office in Hyderabad after receiving a summons related to a case involving the promotion of online betting games. Prakash Raj is known for his negative roles in films, including 'Wanted' and 'Singham' and has appeared in over 300 films in his career. Watch the video here: Earlier this year, the Telangana police filed a First Information Report (FIR) against 25 celebrities and influencers, including popular figures like Rana Daggubati, Prakash Raj, Vijay Deverakonda, and Manchu Lakshmi, for allegedly promoting illegal betting and gambling apps through their social media platforms, as reported by ANI. What did the FIR say? The FIR was filed at the Miyapur Police Station in Hyderabad following a petition by 32-year-old businessman PM Phanindra Sarma. The complaint, lodged on March 19 this year, highlights a disturbing trend of celebrities and influencers promoting illegal gambling apps that violate the Public Gambling Act of 1867. Sarma claims that during a conversation with youth in his community on March 16, he discovered many individuals had been influenced to invest their money in these gambling apps, which were heavily advertised by social media personalities. According to the complaint, these celebrities are allegedly accepting large sums of money to promote various betting platforms, which encourage users to gamble their hard-earned money. Sarma himself was on the verge of investing in one of these platforms but refrained after his family warned him about the potential financial dangers. The police report lists several celebrities and influencers who are accused of promoting illegal gambling apps, including Rana Daggubati, Prakash Raj, Vijay Deverakonda, Manchu Lakshmi, Praneetha, Nidhi Agarwal, Ananya Nagella, Siri Hanumanthu, Sreemukhi, Varshini Sounderajan and many others. The petition emphasises that these apps and platforms are causing widespread financial harm, particularly among lower and middle-class families who are being lured into the false promise of easy money. The apps often rely on celebrities to build credibility, leading vulnerable individuals to invest substantial amounts of money, only to face financial ruin. The Telangana police have charged the accused under multiple sections of the TS Gaming Act and the IT Act, including Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act, which deals with cheating and identity theft. The FIR also includes sections that address the promotion of illegal betting activities, with the investigation now being handled by Officer G Ramesh Naidu. (With inputs from ANI)

Jessie James Decker admits to struggling with mom guilt
Jessie James Decker struggled with mom guilt while touring. The 37-year-old singer - who has Vivianne, 11, Eric Jr, nine, Forrest, seven, and Denver, 17 months, with her husband Eric Decker - has stepped back from touring in recent times in order to focus on her family life. Asked if she plans to tour again, Jessie said on Instagram: "One day. I've struggled with the emotions of it all lately because I love touring and singing. That's what I've done my whole life, people forget but that's how I got started in this business. But I struggled this last time leaving the babies that I knew I needed to take a beat." Jessie is determined to be present for key milestones in the lives of her children. The music star - who has been married to Eric since 2013 - said: "My kids need me. They're so little and I don't want to miss anything. I know the stage is always there for me when I'm ready again." Jessie previously revealed that she doesn't intend to have any more kids. The singer also admitted that she's still relishing the challenges of motherhood, even though she's "not sleeping very much". She told Us Weekly: "[Eric] is snipped, so if I were to get knocked up again, it's because of that two percent chance. "Denver's starting to walk, which is cool. We're obviously not sleeping very much, [but] it's amazing to be able to do it all over again. It's fun that the kids are older and getting to do this with us, watching their little baby brother grow up. Eric and I look at each other and we're like, 'How did we get here?' It's been really special for our family." Jessie also praised Eric for being a strong supportive influence in her life. The Wanted hitmaker shared: "He's so supportive. He thinks I'm pretty no matter what, even when I'm having a hard day or after I've had a baby [and] I'm not feeling like myself. I look for it in his face and he never flinches. He tells me I look pretty the way that I am."

Shocked by Uorfi Javed's lip filler removal? Here are 5 times celebrity cosmetic surgeries went horribly wrong
Uorfi Javed is back in the spotlight, not for her daring fashion this time, but for opting to reverse her lip filler treatment. The surprising change has taken fans by surprise and set social media abuzz. Her transformation has reignited discussions around the risks and realities of cosmetic enhancements. Over the years, many celebrities have experienced procedures that didn't go as expected, leading to regret and public attention. Here are 5 celebrity cosmetic surgery fails that left everyone shocked. 5 times celebrity cosmetic surgeries went horribly wrong Koena Mitra Koena Mitra, who was once a rising star in Bollywood, underwent rhinoplasty (a nose job) in 2010 in hopes of enhancing her appearance. However, the surgery didn't go as expected and led to complications, including bone swelling that drastically changed her facial features. The transformation drew immediate attention, sparking criticism from both the media and the public. Rakhi Sawant Rakhi Sawant, known for her bold and often controversial presence in the Indian entertainment world, has always been open about her personal life especially when it comes to cosmetic enhancements. She has publicly acknowledged undergoing multiple procedures over the years to improve her looks, including breast augmentation, liposuction, and a nose job (rhinoplasty). Ayesha Takia Ayesha Takia, who gained fame for her natural beauty and relatable roles in Bollywood hits like Wanted and Dor, has recently sparked considerable buzz over her drastically changed appearance. Observers, including fans and media outlets, have noted striking differences in her facial features especially her plumper lips, more defined cheeks, and unusually smooth skin. These changes have led to widespread speculation that she may have opted for cosmetic enhancements like lip fillers, cheek augmentation, and Botox. Khushi Kapoor In a conversation with The Times of India, Khushi Kapoor openly responded to the ongoing buzz about her appearance, admitting that she has undergone some cosmetic enhancements. While she acknowledged making a few changes to her looks, she was also clear that the extent has been blown out of proportion. 'Yes, I have changed my looks. But everyone thinks I have done some 10-20 things on myself. It is obviously not the case,' she explained, pointing out that the rumors surrounding her transformation have been largely exaggerated. Anushka Sharma Anushka Sharma faced widespread public attention and criticism when viewers noticed her visibly fuller lips during an appearance on Koffee With Karan. This sparked rumors that she had undergone plastic surgery, with many assuming she had made a permanent change to her appearance. However, the actress later set the record straight, revealing that the altered look was actually the result of using a temporary lip enhancement tool for her role in the 2015 film Bombay Velvet, where she played a 1960s jazz singer.
