Big B’s has an epic response on getting back his blue tick on Twitter

[ad_1]
Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has a savage response to the verified tick mark of a few Twitter accounts getting restored for free.
The micro-blogging website has restored the blue tick verification for accounts with more than one million followers on the platform, but Amitabh, who has a whopping 48.4 million followers, paid for the subscription.
Now, he has asked the platform in a hilarious way about why he had to make payments despite having such a huge following on the website.

Amitabh tweeted: “Are maare gae Gulfam, biraj me maare gae Gulfam. Ae Twitter mausi, chahchi, beheni, tai, bua… jhauaan bhar ke ta naam hain tumhaar.”
He added: “Paise bharwa liye hamara neel kamal khaatir. Ab kahat ho jekar 1 m follower unkar neel kamal free ma. Humar to 48.4 m hain, ab? Khel khatam, paisa hajam?”
It was just last week, when the micro-blogging website took away the blue marks from several verified accounts.
Big B gave it his own spin and asked about not getting the tick mar despite payment. A day later, when it was restored, he thanked Twitter and even wrote a song for Elon Musk, with a sprinkle of humour.

‘Samantha was our only choice for this epic’, says ‘Shaakuntalam’ director

[ad_1]
Mumbai: Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who swayed the nation with her moves in ‘Oo Antava’, was the only choice for ‘Shaakuntalam’, the director of the film revealed.
Director Gunasekhar kept Samantha in mind while penning the script of the historical drama.
Elaborating on the same, Gunasekhar said: “When I wanted to make the eternal love story of Shakuntala and Dushyant in an interesting backdrop of a beautiful whimsical forest much like a forest princess in a Disney kind of film, I wanted someone who could be relatable to the millennial audiences, and felt Samantha would be apt for this film and approached her.”

The filmmaker also believes that Samantha fitted the role perfectly and that no one could have essayed it better than her.
“The film traces the emotional journey of a woman who falls in love and the challenges fate throws at her. She’s a character of inner strength who depicts her emotions with dignity and grace in all that she does. Her truth is her strength, all these emotions can only be portrayed by a wonderful performer like Samantha and she was our only choice to be able to create this epic”, he added.
‘Shaakuntalam’ is set to release on April 14 in cinemas.

UP Minister calls Swami Prasad Maurya ‘Ravan’ over remark on Hindu epic

[ad_1]
Budaun: Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Minister Gulab Devi on Thursday compared Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya, who demanded a ban on a portion of Shri Ramcharitmanas, to ‘Ravan’.
The minister made the remark in a press conference here during her visit to the centres for the UP Board Examination.
“Even Ravan did not believe in Ramcharitmanas,” she said.
“But Ravan had Ram in his heart. He went to heaven but what was his condition before that? Ramcharitmanas is a scripture full of qualities of humanity. It is a question of our faith,” the minister said.
“There is an emptiness in the hearts of those who do not believe this. They are criticising Manas to make their politics shine,” she said.
Maurya, a Legislative Council member, had in a statement last month demanded a ban on a couplet from Shri Ramcharitmanas, terming it derogatory towards Dalits and women.
On the Kanpur Dehat incident where a woman and her daughter immolated themselves during an anti-encroachment drive, the minister said, “it was heart-wrenching.”
“There should be no politics on this. One should sympathise with the survivors of the victim’s family. The government should compensate them. Action is being taken against the culprits,” she said.

On the UP board exams, she said anyone found involved in cheating will be booked under the National Security Act.
