Kareena asks Vivek Agnihotri not to boycott Laal Singh Chaddha, and Vivek Agnihotri responds

Vivek Agnihotri, the director of The Kashmir Files, appears to have poked fun at Kareena Kapoor and Laal Singh Chaddha after the actress asked fans not to boycott the movie out of respect for the 250 or so people who worked on it. Vivek responded to Kareena’s statement in a similar manner on Twitter.

Kareena along with Aamir Khan play the title characters in Laal Singh Chadha. The movie is an official Hindi remake of the Tom Hanks-starring Forrest Gump from 1994. Prior to its release, the hashtag “Boycott Laal Singh Chaddha” became popular on Twitter, which brought attention to Laal Singh Chaddha. Many demanded a boycott of the movie because they believed Aamir had offended religious sensibilities in his previous film, PK.

Laal Singh Chaddha is such a beautiful movie that people shouldn’t boycott it, Kareena had recently said. And I want Aamir Khan and I to appear together on screen. We’ve waited so long—three years, to be exact. So, please refrain from boycotting this movie because doing so is equivalent to boycotting quality cinema. And 250 people worked on the movie for two and a half years, putting in a tonne of effort. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, she made the demand.

Vivek Agnihotri pointed out on Twitter that after some people boycotted his movie, The Kashmir Files, few people in the film industry supported it “When good content small films are sabotaged, boycotted by the dons of Bollywood, when multiplexes remove their shows, when critics band together against small films, when these things happen… Nobody considers the 250 underprivileged individuals who toiled long hours on that movie.”

He also added, “Why do the kings of Bollywood continue to boycott, ban, and ruin the careers of so many outside actors, directors, and writers? When the average Indian learns about the haughtiness, fascism, and anti-Hindu sentiment of the Bollywood dons, they will drown them in hot coffee.”

Additionally, he responded to a tweet about theatre attendance for Laal Singh Chaddha performances. Vivek replied to one of these tweets by asking, “Who has single-handedly led Bollywood to such mess and humiliation? Fun fact: In Bollywood, his/it/their/kingdom them’s is still expanding while obliterating everyone else. Let’s smell the coffee. Anyone interested in producing an objective, critical, and academic podcast on this topic?

With a 340 crore global gross, Vivek’s The Kashmir Files is still the highest-grossing movie of the year. The killings of Hindus in Jammu and Kashmir served as its focal point. Laal Singh Chaddha had an initial gross of 11.70 crore and currently has a five-day total of between 45 and 46 crore.

When asked about watching The Kashmir Files after it had been released, Aamir Khan responded that every Indian should. During a Hindi-language event, he had stated, “I will definitely watch the film. It is a heartbreaking chapter in our history. It’s really tragic what happened to the Kashmiri Pandits. Every Indian should watch the movie made about this topic and think back on what it’s like to experience such trauma.

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

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.
