Director Imtiaz Ali has recently revealed whether Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor’s breakup affected romantic-comedy Jab We Met’s filming. In an interview with a leading media website, Imtiaz confirmed that their personal situations had no impact on the shooting schedules.

Kareena and Shahid called it quits in 2006, when they were shooting for the iconic movie Jab We Met. “(They broke up at the) end of the film… most of the film was shot. There were two days after their so-called break-up that we had to shoot,” Imtiaz Ali revealed in the interview.

He also noted that the actors were “absolutely professional.” They did not let their personal lives affect their professional endeavours.

Cracking down on controversial messaging in the election season, the Karnataka Police has summoned BJP chief JP Nadda and IT cell head Amit Malviya over a post on X put by the party’s state unit. 

A first information report (FIR) had been registered at the High Grounds Police station in Bengaluru in connection with the post and the two leaders were named in it. The investigating officer has issued the summons to them and they have been given a week to appear.

The controversial post contained a video showing the Congress favouring Muslims for reservation at the cost of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and the Other Backward Classes, an allegation that has been made by several top BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in the past few days.

The Karnataka chief electoral officer had asked the Karnataka BJP to take down the post and, when that failed, the Election Commission sent a notice to X on Tuesday to remove it. 

Karnataka Police has summoned BJP National President JP Nadda and party member Amit Malviya to appear at Bengaluru’s High Grounds police station within a week regarding a tweet shared by BJP Karnataka. The tweet in question is said to have targeted the SC/ST community. Earlier, the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) had urged the Election Commission to take action against JP Nadda and other BJP leaders for allegedly violating the model code of conduct.
