The Big Bull actor further added, “Gang hua karte they college me, Shah Rukh Khan gang and Salman Khan gang. Salman Khan ko maine dekh tha light blue denim aur dark blue denim ka shirt. Toh mere bhai Jaipur gaya toh toh maine usko kahan tha ki mere liye denim ki jeans leke aana. Toh pehli denim maine Salman Khan ke wajah se pehni thi. (There would be Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan gangs in college. I once saw Salman wearing light blue denim pants with a dark blue denim shirt. So, I requested my brother, who was visiting Jaipur, to bring me denim pants. That’s how I wore my first denim because of Salman Khan.)”

Further in the same interview, the actor-producer shared that his education has been through films as there was no access to literature or Hollywood cinema. “Humne toh joh seekha hai vo filmon se he seekha hai. (Whatever I learned it’s because of movies)” Shah stated adding that he applies the philosophy of Aamir Khan in his life and that is how he was able to wait and complete Tumbbad in six long years.

Teacher Gets Scam Call About Daughter In Sex Racket, Dies Of Heart Attack

Oct 4, 2024 · 12:24 AM Blog

Scams over the telephone have led to several people suffering financial losses, but this may be the first instance in which one such attempted fraud allegedly cost a woman her life.

On Monday, Malti Verma, 58, a teacher in a government school in Agra, received a WhatsApp call from a man whose display photo was that of a police official. The man told the teacher that her college-going daughter had been caught in a sex racket.

Ms Verma’s son, Dipanshu, said the call came around noon and the man asked her to deposit Rs 1 lakh in a particular account to ensure that her daughter came back home safe and no case was filed.

The man also allegedly told Ms Verma that he was calling her to ensure that the family did not have to go through the trauma of having their daughter implicated in a sex racket-related case.

“My mother taught in a government girls junior high school in Agra’s Achnera. After she got the call from the man, she panicked and called me, and I asked her for the number from which she had received the call. When I checked the number, I found that it had a +92 prefix and I told her it was a scam. She was still very anxious and started feeling unwell,” said Dipanshu.

“I reassured her and also told her that I had spoken to my sister, who was in college and was fine. My mother’s health kept deteriorating, however, and when she came back from school, she said she was feeling some pain. We gave her something to drink but things got worse and she died,” he added.

Additional Commissioner of Police Mayank Tiwari said the family filed a complaint on Thursday.

“The family has complained that Ms Verma died of a heart attack. The cause for this, her husband has said, was that she had received a call stating that her daughter had been caught in a sex racket and the caller had demanded Rs 1 lakh from her. She got very worried because of this and died 15 minutes after she reached home. She was cremated on Tuesday and we have received the complaint today. We are investigating the number from which the call came and will take action,” Mr Tiwari said.

Apprentice Star Sebastian Stan Who Will Portray The Former President Says ‘There’s A Trump In Everyone’; Find Out Why

Oct 4, 2024 · 1:24 AM Blog

Sebastian Stan, who is set to portray Donald Trump in Ali Abbasi’s upcoming film Apprentice, has spoken a statement advocating the controversial former President. “I think that there’s a Trump in all of us to some extent,” the actor said during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

He admitted that it’s not a popular sentiment and that people would be reluctant to admit it, but he explained the reasons behind his claim.

Apprentice follows the journey of a young Trump’s rise to power in politics with the guidance of his mentor, the infamous Roy Cohn, played by Jeremy Strong. Peeling back the layers of men’s personalities was an eye-opener for the actors and creators — something they also want the audience to take away.

“It’s important for us to explore perhaps the darker elements that live within all of us,” Stan said. Bringing those elements to light and forming a relationship rather than suppressing them would illuminate one’s personality. “I think that’s where the value is because I don’t think anyone is on a moral high ground,” the actor explained.

The Pam and Tommy actor would like to teach one of Trump’s qualities: his constant need to win despite all odds. “I understood that drive to rise, to overcome at whatever cost, and to win. I understood that simply from my own very, very small, humble beginnings with the American dream,” Stan said, adding that he found that sentiment relatable.

The story might be layered, but the topic remains controversial. Many critics have revolted against the film, and several Trump supporters have alleged that the former President’s portrayal is highly exaggerated and far from reality. However, the film’s director, Abbasi, believes that it has the potential to reconnect people with their own humanity. “They think he’s either God’s son or he’s Lucifer incarnate, and I think we need to bring him back down to earth in the hope of understanding,” he added.

Apprentice will hit the theaters on October 17.
