Netizens upset with Salman for ignoring Simba’s ‘Islamophobic’ remarks

Drama never ceases to stop in the ‘Bigg Boss 15’ house. The current season of the reality show has surpassed all levels of fights, drama and mind games.

Last week, during the captaincy task in ‘Bigg Boss 15’, Umar and Simba were battling it out being in the opposite teams. The two got into a verbal spat and Umar started abusing Simba, this soon turned into a heated argument. Simba pushed Umar into the swimming pool and threw a basket at him while passing some problematic remarks against Umar.

The followers of the show were eagerly waiting for ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode anticipating the show host Salman Khan to give an earful to Simba for his behaviour. But to their dismay, Salman categorically ignored Simba’s actions and went on to talk about less important things for the round up. Many users took to social media to express their anger and demanded Salman’s resignation as the show host.

One user wrote, “Shame on @ColorsTV @BiggBoss for cleverly muting the part where bimba called #UmarRiaz atankwadi & salman didn’t even discussed that matter, @BeingSalmanKhan did umar provoke ur bimba even for this islamphobic comment?? AUDIENCE WITH UMAR RIAZ (sic).”

Another user tweeted, “Being a fan of @BeingSalmanKhan it pains me to see the way the makers of #BB15, hand him over a scripted pitch which holds no truth!! Shame on @ColorsTV @EndemolShineIND Siimba Nagpal ko #UmarRiaz ne uksaya nahi tha. Aur yeh poori duniya ne dekha hai. AUDIENCE WITH UMAR RIAZ.”

“I think silence of @ColorsTV #Biggboss15 against Simba speaks that they will put an excuse that this push was during execution of task so demands no action but still waiting how @BeingSalmanKhan will name & shame Simba for his inappropriate islamophobia remarks & his push,” another user wrote on the micro-blogging site.

Salman had told Simba that what he did to Umar was wrong. However, he said that he could understand that Simba’s actions were a response to Umar’s constant instigation. As a punishment, Salman announced that Simba will not be eligible to participate in the Race to Finale tasks in the upcoming week. But, Salman’s stand on the incident did not go down well with a lot of netizens.

‘Hone Laga’ adds romantic touch to ‘Antim’ soundtrack

Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma-starrer ‘Antim: The Final Truth’ is one of the most awaited films of the year, and one reason for the anticipation is its soundtrack.

The album opened with the devotional and festive track ‘Vighnaharta’ and soon took a sharp turn with the party number titled ‘Bhai Ka Birthday’. Keeping up with the concept of constantly serving different flavours, the makers of the film have now released the third song from the album titled ‘Hone Laga’.

The track, a romantic musical exhibition sheds light on the crackling chemistry between Aayush Sharma’s character of Rahuliya and Manda played by Mahima Makwana. The song adds a different dimension to the film’s universe of action, crime, and violence. The song starts with playful notes on mandolin before seamlessly transitioning into a soothing rendition, performed by Jubin Nautiyal.

The track lets the audience peek into the vulnerable side of Aayush’s character of a ferocious gangster in the film. The music for ‘Hone Laga’ is composed by Ravi Basrur, with lyrics penned by Shabbir Ahmed and choreography by Shabina Khan and Umesh Jadhav.

‘Antim: The Final Truth’ is directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, produced by Salma Khan, and presented by Salman Khan Films and it is due for release on November 26.

‘It’s a surreal moment’, says Charan on dad SPB’s Padma Vibhushan

Scores of fans of legendary singer S.P. Balasubrahmanyam across the world will feel much joy on Tuesday when his son S.P.B. Charan, who is also an actor, producer and singer himself, receives the Padma Vibhushan, one of the nation’s highest honours, at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on behalf of his late father.

Charan, who was on his way to New Delhi to take part in the prestigious event which is to be held on Tuesday, told in an interview from the Chennai airport that this was a “surreal moment” for him.

“We are grateful to the government of India for having honoured dad with this award. This actually feels surreal. We expected this to happen when dad was around. It’s a moment of mixed emotion for us,” a visibly moved Charan said and pointed out that the last time they had gone to the Rashtrapati Bhavan was to collect the Padma Bhushan award.

Six-time National Award winning sensation Balasubrahmanyam, a legend whose phenomenal achievements are unparalleled in the field of singing and music, has sung over a whopping 40,000 songs.

His mellifluous voice has earned him crores of fans, cutting across cultures, languages and countries. The genius that he was, Balasubrahmanyam won a number of awards including 25 Nandi Awards given by the state of Andhra Pradesh.

The gifted singer, fondly known as ‘SPB’, passed away in September last year after he developed complications caused by Covid-19.

Earlier this year, the government of India announced the Padma Vibhushan (Posthumous) to Balasubrahmanyam.

SPB Charan, who is an incredibly good singer himself, says that after his father’s demise, there has been a sudden spurt in the attention on him.

The young producer and singer says life must go on and therefore, he has now taken over as the host of ‘Padutha Theeyaga’, a singing reality show on ETV that was hosted by the legendary SPB for 19 years.

‘Bigg Boss 15’: Ieshaan Sehgaal wants Tejasswi to lift the trophy

Actor Ieshaan Sehgaal who was evicted from the ‘Bigg Boss 15’ house due to getting less votes, says he is not disappointed on his eviction as ‘Bigg Boss’ house has given him beautiful memories and also feeling of love that is most special for him.

“I believe in destiny and my journey in ‘Bigg Boss’ was destined to end here. So, I am taking it that way without thinking much,” he says, adding: “Moreover ‘Bigg Boss’ house has given me the love of my life. And I want to tell everyone that the kind of bond Miesha and I developed inside the house is going to be the same and I am in love with her. She is most special to me. Miesha also feels the same way and I really care for her.”

But does he feel that inside the house he was mostly connected with Miesha and that could be the possible reason for his eviction. “Well, this is the fact that most of the time I was spending time with Miesha and we were really close but I connected well with others also. I consider Tejasswi Prakash as my sister and this relationship will continue forever. I was also sharing a great bond with Karan and Jay. So, I don’t think I was lacking in making connections. But this is ‘Bigg Boss’ and anything could happen.”

Who does he think should lift the ‘Bigg Boss’ trophy: “I want Tejasswi as she is playing really well, so, yes, she deserves.”

When asked Ieshaan about the most memorable moments that will always stay with him, he replies: “The most memorable moment was when Miesha went on her knees to propose to me. Nobody ever made me feel so special.”

Ieshaan says that ‘Bigg Boss 15’ has helped in getting a lot of love and attention from the people and he is really happy about this. Moreover he is getting calls for some good projects about which he cannot reveal right now. “I am just out and talks are going on for some big web shows and music videos but cannot reveal much as it is too early,” he concludes.
