Rakul Preet opens up on success of Chhatriwali

Rakul Preet Singh, who is currently at the top of her game, recently graced a talk session where she shed light upon the impact of her recent film Chhatriwali and how audiences are now accepting films depicting social messages and acknowledging their efforts.

Rakul, who carried the film on her shoulder as a small-town condom quality tester, did an excellent job, and the crowd responded positively.


Talking about the film and the message that it delivered, she said “I think social messaging movies, audiences are accepting from a long time which is why there are so many films from Toilet to Vicky Donor to all such kinds of movies which people have already accepted it but I think what's more important is that along with social messaging our main work is entertainment. Through entertainment, if you could give a message, I think nothing is better than that”.

She added, “Chhatriwali for me is personally very, very special because honestly when i got the script, we being from cities we may not think like that I thought people really don't have that much information when facts and figures come in front of us when we look at statistics and sex education in schools is necessary but it is skipped and not taught”.

She later continued saying “When the film was released, we received several overwhelming messages. There was this lady who messaged me on social media saying ‘I wanted to tell my husband, thank you for making this film because I could tell him’. If one person’s life also changes because of a film, I think that is very amazing."

Cardi B exposes Offset’s affair with AriTheDon in leaked texts

Cardi B and Offset’s already complex relationship has just become more chaotic after private text messages allegedly leaked online. A blogger named 1goatalexis shared what they claim are private exchanges with Cardi, where she accuses her estranged husband, Offset, of having an affair with influencer AriTheDon during their marriage. The messages show Cardi expressing frustration over rumours that she and Offset were still involved, claiming that she hasn’t been with him recently and that others should stop making false claims about her.

One of the leaked messages reportedly reads, “He was f***ing Ari while we were together, but I’m the one who’s wrong for moving on?” This accusation has sparked a wave of reactions online, with some fans supporting Cardi’s right to defend herself, while others are sceptical about the authenticity of the messages and their timing. Neither Cardi B, Offset, nor AriTheDon have responded publicly to these allegations.

Ananya Panday makes history as Chanel’s first Indian brand ambassador

Bollywood actor Ananya Panday has just landed a major global milestone; she is now the first Indian to officially represent French fashion house Chanel. At 26, she has carved a niche for herself not just in Indian cinema but also as a rising style icon. This move is in fact a turning point for both her career and Chanel’s growing focus on India as a key luxury market.
