Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra was present during the promotional event of her upcoming film Jabariya Jodi co-starring Siddharth Malhotra. The talented actress talked at length about the dowry system India and pakadwa vivah in Bihar.
Chopra who never fears to speak about women rights said that dowry is illegal and immoral but people follow it. It makes her angry that people have renamed it ‘gift’ so that it sounds good but dowry simply means putting a price on the girl.
Taking a jibe at the modern society she asked that though people call themselves forward, they ask for money and luxurious things to look superior. How is that even modern, if a groom’s family still depends upon the bride’s family to look better than others, they can’t afford the luxuries themselves?
Talking about her film, she said that Jabariya Jodi is based on pakadwa vivah, which is also wrong. According to this tradition, if a boy’s family ask too much dowry, they are abducted and forced to marry on gunpoint.
She said that although pakadwa vivah is an anti-dowry practice, it is wrong. People can’t just kidnap someone and force them to get married. However, if there is no demand for dowry, there will be no pakdwa vivah.
Concludingly, she requested people to stop putting a price on a girl’s life.
While dowry is banned in India since 1961, it is still practiced in most part of the country. However, now it is called a gift, instead of dowry but that doesn’t change the truth that a bride’s father spends his lifetime earning to give her gifts so that she can hold her head high at her in-laws’ house.

Home Minster Amit Shah took a big decision on Monday in the upper house of the parliament. The government has finally scrapped the Article 370 from the Indian constitution and divided Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories. Article 470 came into being in the 1950s and gave special rights to the people of J&K. It was just a ‘temporary provision’ which has been finally discarded.
J&K has been divided into two UTs, Jammu and Kashmir with a legislature, and Ladakh without one.

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is having some great releases ahead and the latest one is “Mission Mangal” which is going to hit theatres on August 15. There is no denying the fact that whenever movies of two big stars clash on the box-office, they both incur some losses and it is the best for both of them to avert the clash.
When the release date of Akshay Kumar starrer “Sooryavanshi” was changed in order to stop it from getting clashed with Salman Khan starrer “Inshallah”, the Khiladi Kumar was slammed heavily for backing down as the release date of “Sooryavanshi” was announced before “Inshallah”.
Now Akshay’s movie will be released on March 27, 2020 and when he was asked to comment on it, he says that he is happy to avert the clash. He further adds that nearly 210 movies get released every year and there are only 52 weeks so some movies will definitely clash.
Directed by Rohit Shetty, “Sooryavanshi” also stars beautiful actress Katrina Kaif other than Akshay Kumar. It is also being said that Akshay has done some action stunts in the flick and he is going to play the character of a cop whose name is Veer Sooryavanshi.
On the other hand, “Inshallah” is being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and is slated to release on Eid 2020. The movie stars Alia Bhatt in the female lead and just after the announcement of Inshallah’s cast was made, people slammed Salman and makers for the huge age gap between the “Kick” star and Alia Bhatt.
In his next project “Mission Mangal”, Akshay will be seen with Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Sharman Joshi and others.
Which movie are you waiting for? Let us know.

Indian pacer Navdeep Saini has justified his selection by playing an important role in the win of the team against West Indies in the T20I opener which was played in Florida. However, he has also invited trouble for himself because of his aggressive actions that he made after taking the wicket of a West Indies batsman.
Navdeep Saini has been declared guilty of Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel by ICC. This article deals with the gestures which are made after taking a wicket and can provoke an aggressive reaction from the batsman. Saini has been given an official warning and has been handed a demerit point.
It all happened when on August 3, both the teams clashed in the first T20I at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill. It was the debut match of Navdeep Saini and he was brought into attack by the skipper in the fourth over.
He got his first wicket on the third ball of his over when Nicholas Pooran edged and was caught by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. Saini celebrated the moment with a fist pump which was noticed by the umpire.
Saini has accepted the sanction which was proposed by match referee Jeff Crowe.
Navdeep Saini went on to take 3 wickets in the match and was awarded with the Man of the Match. India has won the first 2 matches out of 3 and the third one will be played in Guyana on August 6.
Hopefully the young cricketer will not repeat the mistake.
