Flop Show

Senator Faisal Javed is of the view that PM Imran Khan is not ‘bothered by flop shows’. He says the PTI government is not affected by public rallies. The senator likens the PDM alliance of 11 parties to an honest police officer taking charge in a crime-infested area and all the thieves ganging up against him.

 

Biscuit Dance

It must have come as a great shock to Mehwish Hayat when her biscuit TVC got banned. After all, she had put in so much hard work doing a dance number that was trying to sell a biscuit brand. It was not clear though that how could people dancing around be helpful in creating sales hype for a biscuit? Perhaps Mehwish could also have asked the question before signing up!

 

Brave Actor

Saif Ali Khan

The Indian film industry will never find another Saif Ali Khan, claims Kareena Kapoor. They have been married for eight years now but Kareena Kapoor is still gushing over Saif Ali Khan. She praises his on-screen brilliance and thinks he is one of the best in the industry. She calls Saif a brave actor. The couple are parents to their three-year-old son Taimur while the second child is on the way.

 

Landslide vs. Downslide

landslide

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern went into the 2020 general election with an approval rating of 55% and such was her record that it got her a landslide victory.

“This has been a really tough time for New Zealand,” she said, “We’ve had a terrorist attack, a natural disaster and a global pandemic.”

But it was admirable that despite the tough times, Jacinda was undeterred and came out on top. She cleared high hurdles and faced huge challenges. There were many lessons to learn from her, especially by women who aspire to be political leaders simply by addressing public gatherings – and doing nothing more.
