Did Brigitte Macron Just Slap Emmanuel Macron? Viral Video Sparks Debate
Did Brigitte Macron Just Slap Emmanuel Macron? Viral Video Sparks Debate | Vantage with Palki Sharma Did Brigitte Macron Just Slap Emmanuel Macron? Viral Video Sparks Debate | Vantage with Palki Sharma French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Hanoi on Sunday (May 25) evening. However, before the leader disembarked from the plane, he seemed to have been pushed sharply in the face by someone. The incident was captured just after the door of the French presidency jet was opened and Macron was seen standing beyond it. At some point, a hand appeared from the left and pushed his face away. Macron appeared startled but quickly recovered to wave through the door. The person who pushed Macron remained hidden by the body of the plane. Moments later, Macron and his wife Brigitte, 72, dressed in red stepped out of the plane and descended the steps of the air stairs to be officially welcomed by Vietnamese officials.

Mani Ratnam has reacted to it and said that while people judge the relationship between men and women with an age gap on the screen, it happens all the time in real life read more Thug Life, which marks the reunion of Kamal Haasan and filmmaker Mani Ratnam after Nayakan, has created humongous among the audience. However, the film has garnered criticism for Haasan romancing Trisha Krishnan and Abhirami, who are 28 years younger than him. Now, Mani Ratnam has reacted to it and said that while people judge the relationship between men and women with an age gap on the screen, it happens all the time in real life. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Let me put it this way, this way, in real life, there are people, slightly older, who have a relationship with a younger person, male or female. There are. It is a fact of life. It's been like that for a long time. It's not just now. When it's in cinema, we try to find fault with it or pass judgment on it, which means you are trying to cover or close your eyes to what is happening in your society and claim that it should be only this way,' Ratnam told Mid-Day. #FPExclusive: In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, Actor Kamal Haasan reflects on his his friendship with Director Mani Ratnam, as the two stalwarts reunited for their latest film Thug Life after 38 years. — Firstpost (@firstpost) May 24, 2025 'It is (about) how these two people meet. It is not Trisha Krishnan and Kamal Haasan. It is (about) their respective characters. So that is what it should be. And if you see the film, the relationship, how it formed and whether it is real or not, then you can make a judgment, not based on Trisha Krishnan and Kamal Haasan,' he added. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Thug Life also stars Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Rohit Saraf and Baburaj in prominent roles. It is bankrolled by Raaj Kamal Films International, Madras Talkies and Red Giant Movies and is set to hit the screens on 5th June.

Afridi's Rally Sparks Row, Cricketer To Political Mouthpiece? First Sports With Rupha Ramani
Afridi's Rally Sparks Row, Cricketer To Political Mouthpiece? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani |N18G Afridi's Rally Sparks Row, Cricketer To Political Mouthpiece? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G Once celebrated as one of Pakistan's greatest cricketers, Shahid Afridi now finds himself at the centre of a storm—not for what he did on the pitch, but for what he chose to do off it. Following India's successful anti-terror operation, "Operation Sindoor," Afridi led a so-called "victory rally" on the streets of Karachi. The rally, perceived by many as glorifying conflict and misinformation, triggered massive online backlash and raised serious questions about Afridi's intentions and political ambitions. Not the first time Afridi has landed in trouble over his remarks. Rupha Ramani explores whether Afridi has forgotten the spirit of the game that once made him a national hero, and is his apparent political ambition overshadowing his cricket learnings? -- Operation Sindoor | Shahid Afridi | Pahalgam Attack | Pahalgam Terror Attack | Pahalgam Tourist Attack | PM Modi | Pakistan | Operation Sindoor | Kashmir Terror Attack | Indian Army | First Sports | Rupha Ramani | Firstpost | Sports News #operationsindoor #shahidafridi #indianarmy #news #indiapakistanconflict #indiapakistanwar #indiaattackspakistan #indiapakistantensions #firstsports #rupharamani #sportsnews #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.

Was Kohli Keen On Playing The England Series? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G Was Kohli Keen On Playing The England Series? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G Virat Kohli's sudden retirement from Test cricket has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. With no farewell match and just months before a major England series, fans and experts alike are asking: Why now? Was it form, fatigue, or something deeper? Before Kohli's retirement, conflicting reports were claiming varied reasons behind his retirement. Now, speculation is rife that BCCI's reported restriction on families travelling with players could have played a part in Kohli's decision. Rupha Ramani dives into the emotional aftermath, featuring reactions from legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Novak Djokovic, and Greg Chappell, who called Kohli the 'most Australian non-Australian' cricketer ever. We explore claims from Kohli's childhood and Delhi coaches suggesting he had plans in place for the England tour, and why those might have changed. -- Virat Kohli | Virat Kohli Retirement | Cricket | Test Cricket | First Sports | Rupha Ramani | Firstpost | Sports News #viratkohli #viratkohliretirementannouncement #testcricket #firstsports #rupharamani #sportsnews #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.

Regularly mistaken for the tech billionaire in public, Hugo claims he's often stopped for selfies and comments, especially during a recent trip to Scotland. Hugo stated that he was stopped five times in one night. Despite the unwanted attention, he's using the moment to boost his music profile, though he's quick to clarify he doesn't share Musk's views — or his looks, as far as he's concerned. Watch the video to learn about Elon Musk's lookalike which has gone viral. --- Elon Musk | Hugo One | Doppelganger | Luxembourg | Firstpost America | Eric Ham | War | Geopolitics | Global Economy | Firstpost | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | Trending News #elonmusk #hugoone #lookalike #firstpostamerica #ericham #war #geopolitics #economy #firstpost #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
