Filmmaker Leena Manimekalai’s Kaali Poster Tweet is deleted by Twitter

In response to “a legal demand,” the social media site Twitter has taken down director Leena Manimekalai’s tweet about her contentious documentary “Kaali.”

The Toronto-based director released the “Kaali” poster, which showed the title character smoking and clutching an LGBTQ flag, in the aforementioned tweet from July 2 that was quoted above. The original tweet was replaced with a notification that said, “This Tweet from @LeenaManimekali has been withheld in India in compliance to a court demand.”

When the tweet was removed by the microblogging platform is unknown. Tuesday saw the filing of separate FIRs against Manimekalai over the divisive poster by the Delhi Police and the Uttar Pradesh Police. Further, following concerns from leaders of the Hindu community in Canada about the “disrespectful depiction” of Hindu gods, the Indian High Commission in Ottawa urged the Canadian authorities to remove all “provocative material” associated with the movie.

“Kaali” was on display at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto as a part of the “Under the Tent” initiative. Manimekalai, who had been attacked for the poster, had declared on Monday that she would keep speaking out without fear as long as she lived. “Nothing is lost on my end. I want to have the freedom to speak my mind without fear for as long as I have the ability to do so. If my life is the price for it, I’ll pay it “She responded to a story about the dispute in a tweet written in Tamil. In order to comprehend the significance of the poster, the filmmaker also recommended viewers to view the documentary.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.

What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”

This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”

Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.

Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.

When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”

“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
