Jaipur (PTI): From
quoting iconic Bolly-
wood songs and dia-
logues to sharing
memes, the Rajasthan
Police is using popular
culture as a tool to raise
awareness among
youngsters about on-
line luring and fake so-
cial media profiles dur-
ing the ongoing Valen-
tine’s week. The crea-
tive messages, with a
twist of humour, are
being shared by the
state police force on its
official Facebook ac-
count and Twitter han-
dle to grab the attention
of youngsters who
might easily fall prey to
scamsters and gang-
sters on social media.
A tweet shared on
‘Chocolate Day’ (Febru-
ary 9) was the iconic
poster from the block-
buster film ‘3 Idiots’.
Captioned “jahapan-
ah tussi great ho, choco-
late kubool karo,” a
famed dialogue from
the film, it alerted peo-
ple to stay away from
“digital chocolate” and
adopt cyber safety to en-
sure “all is well” -- a
catchphrase of one of
the lead protagonists as
well as a hit song from
the 2009 movie.
Warning people
against sharing their
OTPs with anyone, a
post on ‘Rose Day’ (Feb-
ruary 7) had the image
of a WhatsApp inbox
with two people chat-
ting about how one of
them lost all savings
due to an online scam.
A caption at the bot-
tom of the image read,
“roz roz tum jo sanam
aisa karoge, paise lut
jayenge to aahen
bharoge” — a parody of
a song from the “Saajan
Chale Sasural”.

got my first medal in 2010
games and that was when I
received the most precious
gift of my life. I got the first
weapon of my life from Modi
sir. Modi sir said to me “Go
ahead and achieve your
dreams! The government is
with you!” I was super moti-
vated by the words he said to
me. I developed interest in the
sport in 2006 and was deter-
mined to pursue my passion
against all odds. I completed
my NCC and then I received
my own rifle from Modi sir. I
worked very hard, got sup-
port from NCC, and then I
won the first medal. There
was a lot of happiness around
me. My family was celebrat-
ing and I got a call from my
father saying “Modiji will be
calling you!” Obviously, I
found that very hard to belief
and dismissed it more as
prank from some one than
anything serious. And when I
actually got a call from Modi
sir, I still was in disbelief and
I hung up. The phone rang
again and now I was con-
vinced that it was none other
than sir himself. That was a
huge moment for me. I recog-
nised his voice and the way
he congratulated me, praised
my efforts and blessed me, I
was filled with gratitude and
happiness. Sir motivated me
a lot and asked me to meet
him after the competition. I
reached Gujarat after the
competition and I got a call
from CM office telling me that
Modi sir will be visiting my
house. When he came, he saw
all my medals, my rifle and
encouraged me to keep going.
He asked me about my plans
for the future. I said that this
was just the beginning and
that I wanted to go really far
in shooting. I also expressed
my desire to promote shoot-
ing as a sport in Gujarat. He
assured me that his support
and the support of the gov-
ernment shall stay with me,
and that I must simply con-
tinue to work harder.
I was invited to Khel Maha-
kumbh that was organised in
Gujarat in 2010. It was the
first Khel Mahakumbh ever
organised. I got the opportu-
nity to be the baton bearer in
the relay and carried the
torch. What I can say is that
Modi sir is like my father. I
went on to win a medal in
2012 and then in 2013 I won a
silver medal in World Cup in
Spain. This time again I re-
ceived a call from sir. Well,
this time I had full faith that
Modi sir will be calling me
and I was invited to the CM
office once again. I received
the second rifle of my life
from sir that day. Of course
he gifted me cash on both oc-
casions but those rifles are
very close to my heart!
More importantly
, after my
second visit, sir brought
about major changes to the
Shaktidoot Yojana. Earlier
players would get support of
upto 2 lakhs which was in-
deed very less. Modi sir in-
creased this amount to 25
lakhs which would help play-
ers in their training and in-
cluded cash rewards.
I recollect that I went to
CM’s office with my mother
and father. I did not feel at all
that I was meeting someone
so big and powerful. When I
entered the room, he was
standing and welcomed me
with such warmth that I al-
most felt as if I was meeting
a relative. He hugged me and
asked me how I was feeling. I
felt really happy and was not
scared of meeting him there-
after. I then showed my rifle
to Modi sir. He look a careful
look at it, read what all was
written on it and then signed
it. I was delighted to have got
his autograph and have pre-
served it carefully. I have ac-
tually covered it with a paper
so that it does not get erased.
I also had a long and detailed
conversation with sir about
my experiences at the game,
about the arrangements, the
environment and discussed
the areas of opportunity in
Indian sport. He wanted to
bring about reforms in Guja-
rat so that more players ben-
efited and could represent
the country. I suggested in-
crease in financial help, in
infrastructure and that there
should be more shooting
ranges. Sir is a great listener
and I have observed the tre-
mendous transformation
that has taken place in the
country, in not just the facili-
ties but the way sports are
perceived by youngsters!
Modi sir made me the
Swachh Bharat brand ambas-
sador in 2013-14. This time
round I got to meet sir in
Delhi. The best part about
meeting him is that he always
addresses you by your name.
In spite of being the PM and
meeting hundreds of people
every day, he still remembers
people by their first name.
The turning point in my life
came after my meeting with
Modi sir in 2010. I feel fortu-
nate that sir visited my house
and he knows exactly how I
have come up in life through
my passion for shooting. All
my struggles, challenges and
difficulties - Modi sir has
been a witness and because
of his unrelenting support,
not just me, many other
sports persons have been able
to successfully navigate their
challenges in sports. It is a
great motivating factor for
any athlete to have that as-
surance that the government
is there to support him or her.
Today sports in India has
reached the level of Khelo In-
dia. Sports scenario in our
country has seen massive ad-
vancement. Today we have a
lot many stadiums, and they
now match up to the world
class levels in facilities,
equipment and training.
It was my dream to bring
shooting to the forefront as a
sport and I feel I have been
successful in doing that,
thanks to Modi sir’s support.
Today I have my own shoot-
ing academy where I train
youngsters for the country.
Whatever cash awards I have
won so far, I have invested in
my academy. There was a
time when I did not have a
rifle and today, because of
sir’s support, I have my own
academy!

New Delhi (PTI): Un-
ionHomeMinisterAmit
Shah’s visit to Srinagar
on June 26 in 2019 was to
give the final touch to
the government’s re-
solve for carrying out
the abrogation of Arti-
cle 370 in JK, Lt Gen
(retired) KJS Dhillon
has claimed in his yet-
to-be-released book.
‘Kitne Ghazi Aaye
Kitne Ghazi Gaye’, au-
thored by Dhillon, will
be released on February
14 as a mark of respect
to the 40 Central Re-
serve Police Force per-
sonnel who were killed
in a suicide car bomb
attack in 2019 near Leth-
pora in South Kashmir.
Shah’s visit on June
26, 2019, was already
touted to be a precursor
for a dramatic an-
nouncement and “I got
a call at 2 am in the
morning, informing me
of a meeting with the
home minister at 7 am”,
Dhillon said in his book.
Without divulging
much about his meeting
with the home minister,
the retired Lt General,
who was the head of the
army’s strategic Srina-
gar-based XV Corps,
wrote that “a lot of sen-
sitive issues and key
points were on the table
for discussion apart
from delectable food
that include ‘aloo para-
tha and famous Guja-
rati dish ‘dhokla’ dur-
ing our tete-e-tete”.
The discussions in-
cluded understanding
the reaction of Paki-
stan to the “path break-
ing declaration” that
was now certain to be
followed, he said.
“I must point out, and
with absolute objectivi-
ty and great profession-
al input, that the home
minister was in abso-
lute control and fully
conversant with the
agenda and... he had ob-
viously done extensive
research and home-
work,” the retired Lt
General said.
At the conclusion of
the meeting, “I was
asked about my frank
and personal view,
(and) my immediate re-
sponse was ‘agar iti-
haas likhna hai, toh
kisi ko itihas banana
padega’ (we can write
history only if we make
history)”, Dhillon said
in the book.
“We ate paranthas, dhokla, then 370 went off”

ering at Indira Gandhi
Indoor Stadium, PM

Maharishi Dayanand
Saraswati Ji on his
200th Jayanti. He was a
beacon of knowledge
and spirituality. Today
in the 21st century,

gulfed in many contro-
versies, engulfed in vio-
lence and instability,
then the path shown by
Maharishi Dayanand
Saraswati ji instills
hope in crores of peo-
ple.” the PM said the
country is calling for
“pride in our heritage.”
He said Maharishi
Dayanand revived the
understanding of Vedas
in the society

anand Saraswati was
born, the country had
lost its confidence and
weakened due to centu-
ries of bondage. Day-

like social discrimina-
tion and untouchability

shi Dayanand ji also
emerged as a logical and
effective voice against
the stereotypes that had
flourished in society re-
garding women. He
fought against discrimi-
nation against women
and launched a cam-
paign for women’s edu-
cation. Efforts were
made to make our his-

rupt. At that very time,

lose polls. They couldn’t
face BJP alone.” “Con-
gress must feel
ashamed, they aligned
with CPI(M) who killed
so many of their mem-
bers. They have also

pawn,” he added.

that the BJP govern-
ment has provided
health insurance and
drinking water was sup-
plied to all the houses.
He added, “Trans-
ported gas cylinders,

ing toilets, and did the

ernment under the
leadership of the Modi
government, he further
added.
He stated, “In the last
five years, we have
brought peace to the re-
gion. Next year, we will

Caste is my
biggest political
rival, says
Kamal Haasan
Chennai (PTI): Actor-
turned-politician Ka-
mal Haasan on Sunday
termed caste as his ‘big-
gest’ political rival.
Haasan was talking
after inaugurating
“Neelam Books,” an ini-
tiative by Tamil cinema

part of his Neelam cul-
tural centre.
“My biggest rival, my
political rival is caste, I
am saying this since I
was 21 Years old and I
still say it, my opinion
has never changed.”
“God is the greatest
creation by man after
wheel. We can’t accept
our own creation if it
attacks our own self.”
Haasan said.

JK people want love, but BJP
giving bulldozers: Rahul Gandhi
Resentment in SP over Maurya’s
remark on Ramcharitmanas
New Delhi (Agencies):
Former Congress presi-
dent Rahul Gandhi on
Sunday targeted the
anti-encroachment
drive in Jammu and
Kashmir (JK) and said
that people there want
love and not bulldozers.
He launched a scathing
attack against the rul-
ing BJP at Centre.
In a tweet in Hindi
the senior Congress
leader said, “People of
JK want employment,
trade and love but what
are they getting? BJP’s
bulldozer. The land
which the people there
worked upon with hard
work for many decades,
is being snatched from
them. Peace and Kash-
miriyat will be protect-
ed by uniting, not by
dividing people.”
The authorities have
claimed that out of the
total of Kahcharai land
illegally occupied,
1,70,918 Kanals have
been restored after evic-
tion of illegal occu-
pants till Sunday
.
Government assur-
ance that farmers and
poor people would not
be impacted by the anti-
encroachment drive
has still not been con-
firmed by some official
order. Small farmers
and poor people are ap-
prehensive that such
orders might come after
they have been uproot-
ed from their dwellings.
Lucknow (Agencies):
The controversy
sparked off by senior
Samajwadi Party lead-
er Swami Prasad Mau-
rya on the allegedly ob-
jectionable verses from
Ramcharitmanas, has
now started boomer-
anging on the Samajwa-
di Party itself.
Upper caste legisla-
tors in SP have started
raising objections to
Maurya’s statement
and have even threat-
ened to quit the party if
action is not taken
against Swami Prasad
Maurya.
Rakesh Pratap Singh,
MLA from Amethi,
said, “Whether I re-
main in politics or not,
whether I remain a leg-
islator or not and
whether I get a ticket or
not, I will not remain
quiet when my religion
is questioned.”

Hindenburg Research.
At a press conference,
Kharge said, “Shouldn’t
there be an inquiry into
the Adani scam?
Shouldn’t the matter be
referred to the JPC?
Should not there be a
discussion on the mon-
ey that public sector
banks invested in Ada-
ni’s businesses? Public
money is involved in it.
Why does the govern-
ment have a problem
taking Adani’s name?”
Kharge alleged that
PM Modi acted as an
‘agent’ for the Adani
group of companies.
The Congress nation-
al president added,
“Modi-ji acted as Ada-
ni’s agent and got him
tenders in Sri Lanka
and Bangladesh. Every-
bodyknowsaboutthis.”
Questioning the reg-
ulatory bodies of the
country, Kharge said,
“The RBI, SEBI, ED,
Corporate Affairs Min-
istry, Income Tax, and
the CBI seem paralysed.
Can they not see the
corruption here? Is
Adani invisible to
them? With our institu-
tions in inertia, it is our
duty to question the
government. The peo-
ple sent us to the Parlia-
ment as their represent-
atives and it is our re-
sponsibility to safe-
guard the public.”
“We tried to raise sev-
eral issues in the Parlia-
ment. However, the
Prime Minister evaded
all questions and just
gave an election speech,
boasting about him-
self,” Kharge added.
Meanwhile, taking a
serious note of the Op-
position uproar on Fri-
day over the demand for
JPC probe into the Ada-
ni businesses in the
wake of the report by
US firm Hindenburg Re-
search, Vice President
and Rajya Sabha Chair-
man Jagdeep Dhankhar
lost his cool and warned
the protesting MPs that
“every transgression
from both sides would
not go without his deep
reflection”.
The outburst came
amid a heated exchange
of words between Un-
ion Minister Piyush
Goyal and Kharge, who
is also the Leader of the
Opposition in the Upper
House, after the Con-
gress alleged that PM
Modi has ‘links’ with
industrialist Adani.

Jaipur (FIB): Raj HC

The hearing will be

First India Bureau
Jaipur: Justice Sand-
eep Mehta of Ra-
jasthan High Court will
be the Chief Justice of
Gauhati High Court.
The Central Govern-
ment approved the rec-
ommendation of the
Supreme Court Colle-
gium in this regard.
Justice Mehta was
born on January 11,
1961 in Jodhpur. He
graduated in science
from Jodhpur Univer-
sity and later obtained
law degree. Mehta reg-
istered as an advocate
in 1988 and started prac-
ticing law in Jodhpur,
the main bench of Ra-
jasthan High Court.
Justice Mehta, who is
considered an expert in
criminal matters, has
practiced in different
high courts including
Rajasthan high court
and in Supreme Court.
He was Vice President
of Bar Council of Ra-
jasthan till the year
2004-05 and was elected
as President in 2010.
With about 25 years
of experience as a law-
yer, Mehta was appoint-
ed as a Judge in the
High Court on 30 May
2011. Justice Sandeep
Mehta is also known for
his efforts in legal ser-
vice in Rajasthan. On
the other hand, it was a
surprising coincidence
that the appointment of
Assam’s Guv and CJ of
Gauhati HC on the same
day and both are from
Rajasthan.

Kota: In a bizzare and
unprecedented move,
senior Congress leader
andUDHMinisterShan-
tiDhariwalpointedguns
at one of Rajasthan’s
premier industrial cata-
lyst - RIICO - on Sunday
even as RIICO is a lead-
ing industrial organiza-
tion of Rajasthan and is
doing a good job under
the leadership of its
Chairman IAS Kuldeep
Ranka (who happens to
bePrincipalSecretaryto
CM also).
Addressingaprogram
of entrepreneurs in
Kota, the UDH Minister
said,“RIICOisaverybig
disease. This corpora-
tion is made by officers
and run by officers. If a
minister is weak, the of-
ficers influence the min-
ister easily and make a
board or corporation.
RIICO is being accused
of obstructing develop-
ment works and disturb-
ing planning.”
Now everyone is won-
dering why a straight
forward and always
‘supportive’ Dhariwal
hadtomakesuchastate-
ment on a corporation
which has actually been
the harbinger of indus-
trial development in Ra-
jasthan and why is he
‘miffed’ with officers?
However, highly
placed sources have re-
vealed the inside story
and said that the matter
is related to coaching
institutes in Kota which
has an impressive lobby
of coaching institutes.
Word is that many insti-
tutes have been built on
non-institutional lands
and a large part of such
land is in the area of
RIICO. UDH wants to
change the land use of
the entire land and pre-
paring for changes in
the master plan. As a
result, RIICO’s land is
also coming under this
part for which Kota MD
of RIICO wrote a strong
protest letter to UDH re-
sulting in a ‘fierce con-
frontation’ between RII-
CO and UDH.
Dhariwal is the min-
ister of UDH depart-
ment and Kota’s coach-
ing lobby is pressuriz-
ing him. So the question
is what should Dhari-
wal do, because he al-
ways have to fight elec-
tions from Kota. Nota-
bly, such ‘compulsions’
keep appearing in de-
mocracy before the lo-
cal politicians.

DHARIWAL IN HAATH SE HAATH JODO DRIVE
You have long expe-
rience and Sundar
Singh Bhandari took
into politics by hold-
ing your finger. What
you have to say about
your status now?
I consider myself a
worker. I come from an
organisation, RSS,
which has taught us to
work for the nation.
Sangh handed me over
to Bhandari ji and poli-
tics after the emergen-
cy. I have has never
hankered after any po-
sition and it is only in
the BJP that a simple
worker can rise to top
posts. They have given
me responsibility and
I will try to fulfill it.
PM Narendra Modi
and senior people of
my party consider me
worthy of doing that
work. With god and
party leaders’ bless-
ings, I will definitely
try to live up to their
expectations.
You have maintain
honesty and integrity
in such a long career.
How this happened?
These are teachings of
Sangh. I had many
shortcomings in life but
I worked with great
Sangh pracharaks and
learned a lot. I learned
how to live and work in
minimum resources. I
learned that lack of re-
sources is a challenge
and a person can learn
from it. The pracharaks
leave their families to
work for the nation. If
they do so much, we can
also do some work for
the nation.
You steered Mewar
politics – whether
Sangh or the BJP
.
Now, who will head
Mewar politics?
There such a piety in
the land of Mewar that
whosoever is given the
responsibility, with the
blessings of the
Eklingji, the person
works for the pride of
Mewar. In our party,
there are so many
workers and anyone
would fulfill the re-
sponsibility.
CAA and some oth-
er volatile issues are
there in Assam. But
Marwari and Ra-
jasthanis have great
influence there?
I have been visiting
Marwaris and even in-
terior villages there
earlier also. I will fulfill
the responsibility of
maintaining and in-
creasing the pride of
Rajasthanis there and
of the land of Assam on
priority
.
What will you con-
vey to 1st time MLAs
as you have been a
pathshala for them?
The message is that we
are indebted to the
voters who send us to
the Assembly. We have
to pay back the debt
while living our politi-
cal career for the sake
of our area, pride of
the Vidhan Sabha and
of the democracy. Rest
of the help God pro-
vides.
Governor is a consti-
tutional post. It is said
that politics comes to
an end after becoming
Governor
. How do you
perceive it?
I will certainly play my
role as per the constitu-
tional stature of the
Governor post. I will
not make my own indi-
vidual line by leaving
the line of constitution-
al duty
.

Narendra Modi on Sun-

double engine govern-
mentbeeninplaceinthe
last five years, the devel-
opment here would have
beenfasterinRajasthan.
“Congress does the
work of stalling, dis-
tracting, hanging
things, due to which the
works of development
are stalled. Neither
these people work them-
selves nor let others do
it. The law and order
situation is getting
worse everyday. From
the kind of news that is
coming out from Ra-
jasthan, it seems that if
the culture and pride of
Rajasthan is to be saved
then BJP government
will have to be brought
in the state,” he said.
Indicating BJP’s vic-
tory on the basis of the
crowd present in the
event, Modi said that
this is a trailer, the film
is yet to be released.
“Some people have

that there is a federal system
in the country and this is

responded to the allegations
of the Congress in which the
BJP was being accused of
doing politics on the Eastern
Rajasthan Canal Project

on the proposal sent by the
state governments according
to the criteria regarding the
national project,” he told re-
porters. Poonia said that the

for 2023-24, saying
Congress govern-
ments’ “plans and an-
nouncements re-
mained just on pa-
per”. He said Gehlot’s
Budget speech gaffe,
saying what happened
was being discussed
all around.
“Anybody can make
a mistake, but this
shows the Congress
has neither vision nor
gravitas (wajan) and
its plans and an-
nouncements re-
mained just on paper,”
Modi said.
Responding to PM’s
jibe, Gehlot accused
Modi of misleading
the public on the
state budget.
Gehlot said that be-
cause the PM tried to
mislead the public in
his speech, that’s why
it is necessary to keep
the truth in front of
the public.

Dausa (FIB): The new
Delhi-Mumbai Express-
way passes through
backward areas to give
priority to the develop-
ment of socially, eco-
nomically and educa-
tionally backward dis-
tricts, Union Road and
Transport Minister Ni-
tin Gadkari said here
on Sunday
.
The minister was ad-
dressing the inaugura-
tion ceremony of the
first phase of the high-
way in Dausa.
He also said the gov-
ernment is making eve-
ry effort to take the road
infrastructure of the
country to a level at par
with America by the
end of 2024. “We will try
to make India’s high-
ways at par with Amer-
ica’s,” Gadkari said.
“Prime Minister Nar-
endra Modi has talked
about making India
self-reliant and espe-
cially the infrastruc-
ture of international
standards, which he has
repeatedly put in front
of us as a goal. We be-
lieve that before the end
of 2024, under the guid-
ance of the prime min-
ister, we will try our
best to make India’s
road infrastructure at
par with America,” the
Union minister said.
“It was the dream of
Prime Minister Modi
that development of so-
cially
, economically and
educationally back-
ward districts are given
priority,” he added.
Gadkari said he has
identified around 500
blocks that are socially,
economically, and edu-
cationally backward,
and so, this highway is
passing through back-
ward areas and becom-
ing a growth engine for
these areas.
An electric cable will
be laid between Jaipur
and Delhi, and e-trucks
and e-buses will be able
to ply on this highway,
he said.

The Prime Minister
came to Rajasthan for
the second time in 15
days, but again left the
people of Rajasthan
unheard on ERCP.
You are the Prime
Minister of the coun-
try, not of the party
and this issue is not of
Congress-BJP, but of
the thirsty people of
Rajasthan.
—Govind Singh Dotasra,
State Congress President
Inj 15 days, PM came to
Raj for the second time,
but even today no step
has been taken towards
giving ERCP national
status. ERCP is a life-

a question of prosperity
for lakhs of people.

love. In actu-
ality, pink is
also the new
black. Pink ex-
udes a feeling of
freshness and en-
thusiasm and is fre-
quently connected to child-
hood and first young love.
Pink is said to be a calming
colour. The meanings and
connotations associated
with a certain shade of pink
may differ. While light pink is
typically linked with gentle-
ness, healing, and calmness,
hot pink is frequently seen as
being strong, daring, and ter-
rifying. It is a colour that may
evoke positive emotions like
pleasure and joy as well as cre-
ativity and the arts. It is a kind,
considerate love that prioritis-
es being connected to the other.
Pink clothing exudes warmth,
friendliness, comprehension,
and compassion. It is observant
and insightful. According to
colour psychology, the colour
pink represents hope. It is a
cheery colour that inspires feel-
ings of cosiness, comfort, and
assurance that things will turn
out for the best. The most lov-
ing part of humans, including
their need for receiving and
providing love, care, and atten-
tion, is awakened by the colour
pink. Pink is a non-threatening
colour that seeks to garner at-
tention, respect, and apprecia-
tion in the world of fashion.
Pink symbolises riches, power,
glamour, and striking beauty in
its most potent forms. It is fun,
daring and familiar all at once
and it has an energising feel. It
is neither obnoxious nor chal-
lenging to wear, in contrast to
other vibrant hues. Pink has a
vast variety, which enhances
its beauty, and it will undoubt-
edly continue to be used in
fashion. It acts as a hyper-satu-
rated reminder of the excite-
ment of fashion because of its
capacity to confound expecta-
tions. As long as the fabric and
cut suit their body shape and
skin tone, everyone may wear
the colour. Pink has the prop-
erty of being strong without
deliberately intending to be
such, and it symbolises gentle-
ness and love.

Week’s sev-
enth day is
known as
Kiss Day. It’s
an extremely
popular event
that takes place on
February 13, the day
before Valentine’s
Day
. It’s a day devoted
to showing compas-
sion and love with a
kiss. It might be
shared with a loved
one, a member of the
family, or a close ac-
quaintance. On this
day, people express
their love and grati-
tude to those who are
closest to them. It
gives individuals a
chance to show
their love and
devotion to
those they
cherish, set-
ting the tone
for a more pas-
sionate and pri-
vate celebration on
Valentine’s Day. In
essence, it’s a joy-
ful and meaningful
way to honour
love and devo-
tion. A kiss,
whether it be
between lov-
ers, close
friends, or fam-
ily members, is
a potent sign of
affection and
kinship that
unites people. A
kiss may express a
variety of emotions,
such as comfort and
joy in addition to
love and desire. A
single kiss may in-
tensify the feel-
ing of intimacy
between two peo-
ple and strength-
en their bond. It
is a global form of
communication
that transcends
age, culture, and ge-
ography
. It’s a simple,
intimate gesture that
conveys a lot without
saying anything. In
addition to sharing
passionate kisses,
there are various
ways to celebrate Kiss
Day. Couples may
spend time together,
engaging in intimate
conversation or just
enjoying one other’s
presence. As a sign of
their love and affec-
tion, some couples
choose to exchange
presents like choco-
lates, flowers, or love
letters. It feels very
different the first
time you kiss your
lover. You step into a
happy, innocent world
where everything
seems to be exactly
right. Make the day
as unique and excep-
tional as you can for
the people you love by
showering them with
all of your happiness.

success of Hom-
bale films, Kan-
tara. As the film is still
conqueringthehearts
of the masses, it has
alsobeenflowingin
a rumor of Urvashi
Rautela joining the
cast of Kantara 2.
Much before this ru-
mourcomestothesur-
face a source close to

come up with the
clarification stating
all these rumors
are baseless.

tioned it

balefilms loading #RS.
A source close to the
production house has
revealed that “
All the ru-
mors around Urvashi
Rautela casting in Kan-
tara 2 are totally base-
less and untrue. Recent-
ly
, Urvashi Rautela just
happened to be on the
samepremisesasRishab
Shetty
, where she re-
questedtomeettheKan-
tarafameandhepolitely
obliged. She posted the
pictureclickedwithhim
with a cryptic caption,
giving rise to these com-
pletely false rumours.”
As now we hear that
all this buzz is baseless,
we are eagerly waiting
to hear more about the
progress of the prequel
of Kantara as an-
nouncedbyRishabShet-
ty on the occasion of the
film completing 100
days, recently
.
Baseless rumours
hank you dresses, thank
you for making dates hap-
pen. As we're all in Valen-
tine's state of mind, fash-
ion does feel like a needed
and hard-to-ignore influ-
ence. Having fallen into
the spell of little black dresses long
ago, mini white dresses have mint-
ed a chic sartorial status. If no new
trends have changed your perspec-
tive for 2023, here is a dress for
your rut. Color it on and wear it
risqué as Disha Patani. Her love af-
fair with cutesy, ultra-mini, and
sexy dresses is nothing new but hot
always, we can never disagree.
The 30-year-old was styled by
Aastha Sharma over the weekend
and we're still not over this look.
A dress that can ensue tons of
compliments, the Bollywood ac-
tress's Rs. 29,200.58 (approx.)
ensemble from the brand's
AW22 collection is a
semi-sheered one.
Designed in London, the short
numberisdoubleandthickstrapped
(just adjustable). If you're someone
who appreciates a fabric as mesh as
this one, this is simply right for
you. The Malang actress's plunging
neckline dress had a frilled hem,
lace embroidered bodice, a midriff
cut-out detail placed as a cowl, and
an embellished heart.

K
ourtney Kar-
dashian has
been slammed
for her new
gummy vitamin brand,
eversinceshelaunched
it for the public. The
43-year-old Poosh
founder introduced a
line of supplements
called ‘Lemme’ last
year. Although, the
newest addition to the
vitamin range has
raised eyebrows and
offended several gy-
necologists and fans
as she claims it
boosts vaginal
health. Recently,
the mum of three
posted an Insta-
gram video of
herself sur-
rounded by cats
and eating one
of the gummies to pro-
mote her brand.
Gummies are chew-
able vitamins that
come in varied flavors,
colors, and forms. They
taste just like gummy
candies. Kourtney’s
Lemme Purr, on the
other hand, are chew-
able vitamins that
promise to improve
vaginal health. Kar-
dashian wellness web-
site “Poosh” describes
this product as a “yum-
my little treat in gum-
my form with some ef-
fective features”. Ac-
cording to the website,
it is full of Vitamin C
supplements that help
to prevent vaginal dis-
eases like urinary tract
infections (UTI) and
bacterial vaginosis.
E
ver since the trailer of
Selfiee was released,
moviegoers and fans
are eagerly waiting
for it to hit theatres. Mean-
while, the first track from
the film, ‘Main Khiladi’, has
also taken the internet by
storm. And now, the second
song from the film is also
out, titled ‘Kudiye Ne Teri
Vibe’ featuring Mrunal
Thakur in a cameo.
In the song, Mrunal sports
a new grunge glam look, and
it has sparked excitement
amongst fans. Besides this,
we had earlier reported that
Mrunal Thakur will be do-
ing an extremely important
cameo in the film. She is
playing an actress on screen,
paired opposite Akshay
Kumar’s character in
the film. In the visuals,
Mrunal can be seen
performing a high-
octane action se-
quence with Aksh-
ay Kumar.

turned 26 and
seems to be living her

Twitter trends and love

cover, this time of Until
I Found You.
The song, originally
sung by Stephen
Sanchez took over the
internet for its deep and
meaningful lyrics. Of
course, today is the per-
