Rajasthan Education Minister Declares Akbar Will No Longer Be Taught As ‘Great’ in Schools

Dilawar said, “In many textbooks, it was stated that Savarkar was not a patriot. While Akbar is considered a great man, Shivaji is referred to as ‘Pahadi Chuha’, and Maharana Pratap’s role is overshadowed by the role of Akbar. Such statements are not acceptable and will be reviewed”

Stree 2 Third Weekend Box Office Collections: Bahubali 2’s all time record goes down after 7 long years

The Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao-led Stree 2 is continuing with its record-breaking run at the box office in India. The Amar Kaushik-directed horror comedy collected Rs 46.50 crore in its third weekend, going past the longstanding record of the SS Rajamouli-directed Bahubali 2, which earned Rs 42.00 crore in 2017. The 18-day total collection of Stree 2 stands at an earth-shattering total of Rs 479.50 crore and the film is all set to enter the Rs 500 crore club in the next 5 days.

The Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao film collected Rs 9.00 crore on the third Friday, before jumping to Rs 16.50 crore and Rs 21.00 crore respectively on Saturday and Sunday. The film is on a historic run at the box office and will be the first non-action film to enter the Rs 500 crore club in India. In-fact, Stree 2 has yielded the biggest return on investment among all the blockbusters in the modern era and the trend till date indicates that the film is not stopping anytime soon.

The lifetime collections of Animal, Bahubali 2, Pathaan, and Gadar 2 will be history by the end of fourth weekend and the film will then commence its journey towards Jawan (Rs 555 crore) to emerge an all-time grosser in the Hindi language. The hold in collections in the fourth and fifth week will give an idea about the possibility of the film to hit the magical number and at the moment, an all-time record seems to be in its reach.

The business will be boosted in week 5 by National Cinema Day, which will act a stepping stone for the film to reach the landmark number. The Dinesh Vijan and Jio Studios production is an all-time blockbuster, and has sealed its position to emerge the #1 film of the year, as nothing in the coming 3 months could come close to this number.

Stree 2 Weekly Box Office Collection

Week One: Rs 292 crore

Week Two: Rs 141 crore

3rd Friday: Rs 9.00 crore

3rd Saturday: Rs 16.50 crore

3rd Sunday: Rs 21.00 crore (Estimate)

Total: Rs 479.50 crore

Ananya Panday roots for bestie Navya Nanda as she starts her IIMA journey; Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Vicky Kaushal are all hearts

Ananya Panday is friends with several B-town folks. But, among all, she shares a close and warm bond with youngsters like Sara Ali Khan, Shanaya Kapoor, and Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter, Navya Naveli Nanda. Hence, when the latter announced her happiness on getting admitted to IIM, Ahmedabad, the Dream Girl 2 actress jumped to the comments section to express how proud she is of her bestie. 

Taking to her Instagram account, Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Nikhil Nanda’s daughter, Navya Naveli Nanda, dropped multiple images from her new home, the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. The carousel of images opens with her flaunting her million-dollar smile, standing next to the institute’s name.

Expressing her delight, she penned, “Dreams do come true! Home for the next 2 years… with the best people & faculty! BPGP MBA Class of 2026.”

Take a look:

Soon after, Ananya Panday commented a crown and tractor emoji on her post. For those thinking, AP used the emoticon of the vehicle because Navya has been invested in her dad’s company which specializes in agricultural, construction, and railway equipment and machinery. Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter followed suit and dropped multiple red heart emojis along with Shanaya Kapoor. Karisma Kapoor penned, “Congrats Navya” while Sonali Bendre wished “All the best darling”. Navya’s mom is proud of her daughter’s feat. 

Hence, she opined, “You make me so proud baby.” Celebs like Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Mihir Ahuja, Pashmina Roshan, Veer Pahariya, Sharmin Segal, and others liked her post. Navya’s brother Agastya Nanda also gave it a thumbs up.

Take a look:

Those who follow the 26-year-old IIM student would know that she is determined to make the world a better place for women with her social welfare organisation. Apart from helping her father’s business, she also hosts a podcast, What The Hell Navya, where she speaks to her grandmother, Jaya Bachchan, mom Shweta, and brother Agastya.

While she doesn’t intend to join the Indian film industry as an actor anytime soon, her brother Agastya made his debut with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies. He is all set to share the screen with Varun Dhawan in Sriram Raghavan’s Ikkis.
