Amit Sadh Slams Celebs Who Post Vacation Pics During COVID-19 Pandemic, Calls Them Insensitive

The coronavirus pandemic is not over yet, in fact it is getting more harmful and destructive as the second wave is spreading faster than the first one and the virus has become more lethal this time because of the new variants that it has developed. The situation in many states is quite worrisome and night curfew, lockdown and some other restrictions have been imposed by the state governments to stop the spread of the virus. However, all these steps haven’t provided expected results and in some states such as New Delhi, Maharashtra, etc., a complete lockdown seems to be inevitable.

Representational Image

Nevertheless even in such critical times, there have been some celebs who are enjoying their vacations in Maldives and other places and posting photos and videos in order to keep their fans updated. The actor Amit Sadh appears to be pretty unhappy with these celebs as he has taken a jibe at those celebrities and also called them insensitive.

In his recent social media post, Amit Sadh reveals that he is going offline because he feels that his gym posts and other silly posts are of no help to people as the Mumbai city, state of Maharashtra and the entire country are going through a tough phase.

Amit Sadh further writes that he is not targeting anyone but he is of the opinion that the best way to be sensitive in such scenario is to pray and just hope that things get back to normal soon. He also adds that privileged people should help those who earn less and the daily wage earners as in such a situation, poor people suffer the most. He also states that he will keep on doing what is necessary such as following all the safety precautions. He also tells his fans that he will only stop posting on social media handles and they can still contact him by messaging him whenever they want.

Here is his complete post:

During an interview, Amit Sadh says that the profiles of some celebs are very much different from the reality. He also adds that they should act a little sensitive and stop rubbing their privileges on the faces of those who are suffering at the moment.

He cites the example of Hollywood actor Brad Pitt and asks whether he has told the world that on which exotic island he is spending time. Amit says that there is so much sorrow all around and then he expresses his sense of surprise as to how a person can act as if nothing has happened just because he has not been affected at all. He concludes by saying that he has been wishing to say this for some time now as everything seems to be fake and there is no space for simplicity.

The actor has talked about quite sensible things! Do you agree with him?

KL Rahul Praises Sanju Samson, Says “Bowling Against Him Is Difficult, Heart Rate Was High”

The whole India has been gripped by the IPL fever and yesterday’s match between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings (earlier Kings XI Punjab) has further increased the excitement and guaranteed that the Indian cricket lovers will have a gala time till May 30.

Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings played their first match of the IPL 2021 yesterday at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. RR won the toss and decided to bowl first, however the batsmen of PBKS played superbly and posted a huge total of 221 runs at the loss of 6 wickets. The skipper of PBKS, KL Rahul was the highest scorer for his team as he made 91 runs in 50 balls (7 fours & 5 sixes) and the West Indian cricketer Chris Gayle scored 40 runs in 28 deliveries (4 fours & 2 sixes) but the highlight of PBKS batting was Deepak Hooda’s innings who completed his half-century in 20 balls, Hooda got out at 64 runs which he scored in 28 balls (4 fours & 6 sixes).

In response, RR had a bad start as their openers Ben Stokes got out for a duck while Manan Vohra was able to score 12 runs but it was the newly appointed skipper of RR, Sanju Samson who made everyone’s heartbeat faster with his destructive batting. Sanju Samson has become the first batsman to score a century on his captaincy debut as he scored 119 runs in 63 balls (12 fours & 7 sixes).

PBKS won the match by 4 runs as RR managed 217 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. There was a time when everyone felt that Sanju Samson would take his team home as the winner but it was beautiful bowling by Arshdeep Singh in the final over of the innings that made it impossible for RR to win the match. On the 5th ball of the 20th over, RR needed 5 runs to win but Sanju Samson refused a single to Chris Morris as he wanted to keep the strike and hit a six on the last ball of the match. Sanju played a good shot on the final ball but it went straight into the hands of Deepak Hooda and PBKS won the match.

KL Rahul opened up on yesterday’s match and he was full of praises for Sanju Samson. Rahul said that his heart rate was also high like others but he didn’t stop believing and he knew that the fall of couple of wickets would bring them back in the game. He added that till the 10-11 overs, his team bowled well and even though they dropped couple of easy catches, still they did pretty well as a bowling unit. KL Rahul added that it is really difficult to bowl against Sanju and they were not thinking of the last year’s match which had a thrilling finish as well.

Talking about Dinesh Hooda’s batting, Rahul said that his innings was just amazing and this is the type of batting that they want to see as a team. As per him, his team has a power line-up and they will love to bat without any fear and rip apart the opposition bowlers. RR will play its next match against Delhi Capitals on April 15 while PBKS will be playing their next match against Chennai Super Kings on April 16.

Top Health Insurance Companies In India

It is underlined that health insurance is an essential measure to manage the funds for health care facilities for an individual and family at the time of medical emergency. There are several plans available today in the market offering coverages for different age groups, requirements and even disease-specific plans securing people from various medical-related expenses. However, what becomes crucial is to sign up for the best plan according to your needs and requirements.

In addition to plans and their benefits, various other factors also play a pivotal role in choosing the right insurance company and the plans offered by them. Some of the factors that should be kept in mind to associate with the right health insurance company are mentioned below:

Cashless facility

Since medical expenses can be unmanageable at the time of emergency, the health insurance company must provide complete financial aid with its Cashless facility provision in its networked hospitals.

Network Hospitals

To facilitate the cashless facility, there is a need to admit to the network hospitals linked to the insurance company. Hence, ideally, the list of network hospitals of the insurance company should be long enough to be able to provide service for a variety of diseases including speciality and super speciality hospitals.

Market Share

The current market share of the insurance company translates the reputation of the company in the market which shows the trust of the masses in the company.

Solvency Ratio & Claim Settlement Ratio

Solvency and Claim Settlement Ratios are quite quintessential for the health insurance companies that describe the company’s status in terms of financial stability and ability to resolve medical claims raised by their customers.

MS Dhoni Fined Rs 12 Lakh For This Reason After His Team CSK Lost First Match Against DC

MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings had a very disappointing IPL 2020 and each fan of the franchise was hoping to see their team make a strong comeback in the IPL 2021. But CSK had a bad start to the IPL 2021 as they lost their first match by seven wickets against Delhi Capitals. The match which was played yesterday at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium witnessed the comeback of CSK player Suresh Raina who scored 54 runs in 36 balls (3 fours & 4 sixes) and helped his team in posting a good total of 188 runs on the board. During the end of the innings, CSK batsman Sam Curran also played a useful innings of 34 runs for which he played 15 balls (4 fours & 2 sixes) but the target of 189 runs was not enough for DC.

The openers of Delhi Capitals, Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan played beautifully as they shared an opening partnership of 138 runs and made it easy for their team to win the match. While Shaw scored 72 runs in 38 balls (9 fours & 3 sixes), Shikhar Dhawan made 85 runs in 54 deliveries (10 fours & 2 sixes). DC achieved the target in 18.4 overs and won the match by seven wickets.

If this was not terrible enough for CSK, the skipper of the team MS Dhoni who was not able to open his account while batting was fined Rs. 12 lakh for the slow over rate of his team. As it was the first offence of CSK in the IPL 2021, the skipper was fined but if it happens a couple of times more, he may also get suspended for one or two matches. The new IPL rules about the over-rate are quite strict and a team has to bowl its 20 overs in 90 minutes.

The point that needs to be noted is that now the 20th over should also get bowled within the 90 minutes while earlier the 20th over should have started on or before the 90th minute. In simple words, a team has to ensure that it bowls 14.1 overs per hour. If a team is found guilty of slow over-rate second time, the skipper is fined Rs. 24 lakh and each team member is fined Rs. 6 lakh or 25 percent of the match fees whichever is less. If the same offence takes place the third time, the skipper has to pay Rs. 30 lakh as fine and he is also banned for one match while each team member has to pay Rs. 12 lakh or 50% of the match fees (whichever is less) as fine.

Well, this was the first match only and hopefully CSK will soon give their fans something to cheer about. What do you think?

“I’ve Seen Rahul Dravid Getting Angry, He Stormed At Dhoni,” Says Sehwag On Dravid’s Angry Side

The former Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid who is also referred to as The Wall of the Indian cricket has been trending on the social media networks for the past couple of days because of an advertisement.

In this commercial, Rahul Dravid is shown having anger issues and he is stuck in traffic, shouting, screaming, abusing, breaking mirrors and shouting, “Indiranagar ka gunda hu mein” (I am the rowdy of Indiranagar).

If you haven’t watched the ad so far, here it is:

Fans were quite amused and surprised by seeing their favourite cricketer is such an aggressive avatar, in fact it was even difficult for some to believe that they are watching Rahul Dravid as he is one of the most decent, cool and calm cricketers of all the times and a thorough gentleman.

After this commercial, the former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag who has shared dressing room for years with Rahul Dravid talked about an incident in which he saw Rahul Dravid getting angry in real life. Sehwag said that it was during one of the tours to Pakistan when MS Dhoni was new in the team and Dravid once scolded Dhoni for losing his wicket by playing a bad shot.

Virender Sehwag stated that he had never seen Dravid in angry mood but when Dhoni played a bad shot and got caught, Rahul Dravid stormed at the wicketkeeper-batsman and scolded him in English by asking whether this is the way he plays and then said that Mahi should have finished the game. Viru Paaji said that he was also left surprised with the manner in which Dravid got angry and he didn’t even understand half of what Dravid said.

Virender Sehwag further added that in the next match when Dhoni was not hitting much shots, Viru asked him why he was not playing shots. Dhoni replied that he would finish the match and go back quietly as he didn’t want to get scolded again by Rahul Dravid.

The director of the commercial Ayappa KM was also happy with the feedback and stated that somewhere they have brought out the dark side of Rahul Dravid’s character which doesn’t even exist in reality.

How did you find the ad? Don’t you think that Rahul Dravid has acted brilliantly?
