There is no denying the fact that for ultimate listening experience while watching movie or listening to songs, a person needs to have headphones. The market of headphones is pretty big in India as nowadays people avoid visiting cinema halls and like to watch movies at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. Apple is one of the biggest brands of the mobile industry and its products are of the highest quality; however, Twitterati never leaves a chance of trolling it especially every year when it launches a new model of iPhone.
Recently Apple has launched wireless headphones which they have named as Airpods Max. These headphones come with various features such as adaptive EQ, spatial audio, transparency mode, active noise cancellation, etc. But what makes them stand apart from other headphones is their price; these headphones are priced pretty high as in USA, a person has to pay $549 for them and if we talk about India, you have to pay Rs. 59,900 for these headphones.
Twitterati is not able to understand the reason behind such high price of the headphones, especially when there are many brands available in the market which provide good quality of headphones and listening experience. Soon netizens come up with really hilarious memes and jokes and some even ask whether they will be able to hear the God whereas several others made fun of the Airpods Max case as they feel that the case looks quite similar to bra.
Here are some of the selected reactions:

Indian cricketer Parthiv Patel (42) took retirement from all form of the games a couple of days ago and the social media was flooded with messages praising him and wishing him all the best for the future. Parthiv who played for Gujarat in the domestic cricket made his test debut in August 2002 and at that time, he was just 17 years and 153 days old which made him the youngest wicketkeeper in the test cricket. His international career was full of ups and downs and he didn’t play much for India but still he is quite popular among the cricket fans.
In the early 2000s, MTV Bakra used to be a very popular show in which pranks were played on public as well as celebs. Even Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid was also made bakra on the show and Parthiv Patel was also not able to save himself from being made a bakra.
In 2003, Parthiv Patel was travelling in a taxi when his driver felt pain in his chest and informed Parthiv that he won’t be able to drive any further. The driver asked him to drive in his place and take him to hospital for getting treated. Parthiv sat behind the steering wheel but soon he was stopped by two actors dressed as policemen who alleged that Parthiv was driving despite being a minor.
However, the former cricketer was 18 years of age at that time and also had a driving license which he showed to the policemen but the officers were adamant and kept on insisting that Parthiv’s license was invalid and he was 17 years old. Parthiv even offered to pay the fine but policemen were not in the mood to listen. Though the former cricketer was let-off by the officers, he was made to apologize many times despite the fact that he had done nothing wrong.
Sunil Gavaskar is undoubtedly one of the greatest cricketers of all times and his opinion certainly matters in the cricket fraternity. Recently, the Little Master chose to talk about the controversy that has erupted after placards were shown to the England Skipper Eoin Morgan from the dressing room in a T20I match which was played between England and South Africa.
During that match, the England analyst Nathan Leamon was seen showing placards on which series of numbers and letters were written so that Eoin Morgan could get help in taking decision on the field. Eoin Morgan was of the opinion that it was as per the spirit of the game and the England team management stated that the signals were just a source of live information which the skipper might like to use or ignore as per his wish.
While the England skipper as well as the management has no problem with the involvement of placards during a match, the former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is completely against it and he goes on to ask whether there will be a code in order to help in the DRS.
Gavaskar also asks whether the match referee has got it approved from the ICC or it has been sanctioned by the cricket committee of the ICC. According to Sunil Gavaskar, this has happened for the first time; however, it was heard that this tactic was used in the Pakistan Super League as the concerned person who started it here was an analyst over there as well.
While speaking on a show, Sunil Gavaskar further says that he is completely against it and what makes it more worrisome is that whether there will be a code for helping in the DRS. He also adds that as a skipper, he won’t support such thing. As per him, if he was the captain, he would have sent the 12th man with a bottle of water on the ground to send the message or message can also be passed by the coach to the fielder who is fielding on the boundary.
What is your take in this regard? Do you support this idea?
Sunny Leone is one of the hottest actresses of Bollywood and even imagining that she has a 20 years old son is pretty hard but the admit card of a student from Bihar portrays Sunny Leone as his mother. If that was not enough, the father of that boy is Emraan Hashmi, the serial kisser of Bollywood.
Let us tell you about this matter in detail. The officials of Bhim Rao Ambedkar Bihar University got very confused after they saw the screenshot of the admit card of Kundan Kumar as Emraan Hashmi has been named as his father while Sunny Leone’s name is written as his mother.
Kundan Kumar is BA 2nd year student of Dhanraj Mahto Degree College that is affiliated to the varsity and is in Meenapur block of the city. Though the spelling of Emraan Hashmi is spelled incorrect as Emran Hashmi but it is certainly clear whom it is referring to. The address of the student’s residence is written as Chaturbhuj Sthan which is the red light area of the city.
The university officials tried to contact the student with the help of his Aadhaar card number and mobile number given in the details but the efforts went in vain. The University registrar Ram Krishna Thakur says that an inquiry has been ordered in this matter and there are quite good chances that Kundan Kumar is behind this joke. However, he also says that what action should be taken further will be decided on the basis of the report that will be submitted after inquiry.
Though nothing has been heard from the side of Sunny Leone, the actor Emraan Hashmi has made his stand clear. He took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and hilariously stated that the 20 yrs old boy from Bihar is not his son which is pretty obvious and known to all.
There is no denying that fact that it is a joke and it will be interesting to see what the student will have to say in this regard when he will be inquired.
The versatile and talented actor Sonu Sood has worked in Hindi, Punjabi and many southern language movies and was already pretty famous even before the COVID-19 pandemic but today he is not just famous but also loved and worshipped by many poor Indian labourers and their families. Sonu Sood played a very important role in sending the migrant workers back to their homes from the cities such as Mumbai where they got stuck during the coronavirus lockdown.
These efforts have been recognized all over the world and in the list of 50 Asian Celebrities of the World released by Eastern Eye, UK based newspaper, Sonu Sood has secured the top place beating some very tough global competition.
Sonu Sood is very grateful for the honour and he states that as the coronavirus pandemic started spreading, he felt from within that it is his duty to help the people of his country in these tough times. He further adds that this is what he came to Mumbai for and whatever he did was his responsibility as an Indian. The actor goes on to say that the love he has got from the people is their wishes for him and he promises that he won’t stop until his last breath.
The second spot in the list went to a YouTuber, comedian and TV celeb from Canada, Lilly Singh for entertaining the audiences when it was needed the most. The third spot has been secured by the pop superstar Charli XCX for his music album “How I Am Feeling Now” which was created during the lockdown only. The actor Dev Patel got the fourth spot for his performances in the movies “The Personal History of David Copperfield” and “The Green Knight”.

As per the recent reports, Sonu Sood has mortgaged his eight properties in Juhu, Mumbai, with a bank for raising a loan of Rs. 10 crores which he will spend on philanthropic activities.
Sonu Sood certainly deserves all the love and respect of the world! This man is on a spree to win hearts!
The coronavirus pandemic came with many problems in our lives as businesses were closed down, people were forced to remain inside their houses, many people lost their jobs and so on but the hardest hit were the poor labourers who didn’t have any savings to survive and were staying in a different city for work reasons. These labourers had no option other than returning to their homes but that was also difficult as all the medium of transportation were halted due to the pandemic. At that time, the labourers started their journey on foot and soon many heart-wrenching videos and photos went viral on social media networks in which labourers were seen carrying their luggage and children while walking on the road.
Bollywood actor Sonu Sood who was already providing food to many needy people during the lockdown was not able to bear it and he decided to help these labourers. He arranged transportation for a number of labourers and also talked to the governments of the concerned states so that the labourers did not face any problem in reaching their home.
Recently, Sonu Sood did something which an ordinary person would never do. He needed money for his philanthropic activities so he mortgaged his eight properties for Rs. 10 crore. These properties which are jointly owned by Sonu Sood and his wife Sonali Sood include two shops that are at the ground floor and six flats which are in Shiv Sagar CGHS, Juhu, Mumbai. The building is near the Iskcon Temple at the AB Nayar Road, Mumbai.
As per the reports, Sonu Sood has used these properties for taking loan against property from Standard Chartered Bank. This loan will attract an interest of 12-15 percent and he has also paid the registration fee of Rs. 5 lakh for this purpose. As per the experts, such loans are usually for the duration of 10-15 years and though Sonu will keep on getting the rent from these properties, he will need to pay the interest to the bank along with the principal.
Sonu Sood helped not just the labourers but many students, frontline health workers and policemen as well and for his efforts, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) awarded him with the SDG Special Humanitarian Action Award.
The veteran Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore recently turned 76 and not just the B-Town celebs but many of her fans too wished her on this important day. However, the beautiful actress is worried about something which she revealed during an interview with an entertainment portal.
Sharmila Tagore is the grandmother of cute Taimur Ali Khan, son of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, and there is no denying the fact that Taimur is an Internet sensation at such a young age as the media loves to know each and every detail about him.
On being asked about the importance and coverage given to Taimur by the media, Sharmila says that it worries her. She says that every person of the family gets family attention but the problem is that the media may take you at the top in one moment and then they will drop you suddenly. She further adds that though Taimur doesn’t understand it at the moment as he is very young, it will affect him in a bad way when he will be older because of which she is a little worried.
Sharmila Tagore also tells that her granddaughter Sara Ali Khan says that they are living in the age of media so nothing can be done about it and more importantly, they won’t be considered alive without media in this era.
When she was asked about the reason behind veteran actresses not working much in movies, she says that there is nothing peculiar about it as even Madhuri Dixit is not seen on the screen much and it happens with every actress after they cross a certain age. However, she adds that things are different for Amitabh Bachchan as directors like Shoojit Sircar not only calls him sir but also writes roles for him.
Do you agree with Sharmila Tagore over Taimur getting unnecessary media attention?
