Shilpa Shetty remembers her mother calling her “nikammi” and “completely useless.”

Shilpa Shetty, whose next film is titled Nikamma, recently remarked about being branded a ‘nikammi’ in a new interview. In the action comedy, which also stars Abhimanyu Dassani and Shirley Setia, the actor plays Agni, a superhero. Agni transforms Abhimanyu’s ‘nikamma’ (lazy) persona Siddharth into a responsible man in the film.

When asked if her father Surendra Shetty or mother Sunanda Shetty had ever nicknamed her ‘nikammi,’ Shilpa answered it was her mother who used the term. Sunanda lost her temper after seeing her prelims report, calling her “totally useless” and “nikammi,” Shilpa remembered.

She said to ETimes, “It happened to me when my mother saw my preliminary exam results right before my SSC exam. I had received a dismal score of 48 percent. I used to play volleyball. I was more interested in extracurricular activities, and I was chosen as a volleyball player for the Bombay zone. My mother, on the other hand, wept for the first time when she saw my results. She predicted that you’d be completely useless, worthless, and nikammi.”

Shilpa also expressed her feelings about her mother’s outburst. “She stated,” she explained “My life goal at the time was to become a volleyball coach, so I thought I had it all figured out. But, when I realised my mother was worried about my grades and the fact that I was a nikammi, I studied hard for ten days and got a good grade.” Shilpa’s mother was relieved, so everything was OK.

Nikamma, directed by Sabbir Khan, will be released in theatres on June 17. She recently appeared in the romance comedy Hungama 2 in 2021, which marked her 14-year return to the big screen. Nikamma, not Hungama 2, was supposed to be her comeback, she recently told Mashable India.

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.
