The Indian music industry and music lovers are in a state of shock and grief after the sudden d*mise of the Indian singer Krishnakumar Kunnath who was more popular as KK. In fact, it won’t be wrong to say that people close to him as well as his ardent fans are finding it difficult to come on terms with the fact that he has departed from the world.
KK has sung songs in various languages including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Assamese, Odia, Marathi, etc. and has won many awards for the superb work that he has done in his lifetime.
KK took his last breath in Kolkata on May 31 after performing in a live concert at Nazrul Mancha where he complained about the improper air-conditioning facilities. While people from the Indian music and movie industry are paying tributes to the singer who departed from the world at the age of 53 yrs, there is one person who is getting slammed left and right for his derogatory remarks on KK.
We are talking about a famous Bengali singer Rupankar Bagchi who posted a video in which he talked about KK. He says that there is a lot of excitement as the one and only KK has come to perform at Nazrul Mancha. Bagchi adds that he has seen some videos and there is no doubt that KK is a wonderful singer but at the same time, he also realizes that many Bengali singers are better than KK and though they are as popular in Bengal as KK is yet these regional artists can’t even dream of making as much money as KK has made.
Rupankar Bagchi goes on to ask the Bengali music lovers who KK is and why they are not as excited for them as they are for KK. He takes names of Bengali singers and says that these singers are far better than KK and then he asks fans as to how long they will remain obsessed with Bombay.
Fans of KK didn’t like the video posted by Rupankar Bagchi but after KK’s de*th, this anger grew manifold and soon Twitter was flooded with tweets slamming the Bengali singer:

Like all legendary singers of the 90s, KK also got his break with @arrahman
I simply wonder what the Indian music industry would've been like, without this man. He has gifted us so many talents.
Travel well, KK.
Hope the cretin Rupankar Bagchi gor his answer "Who is KK?"

The former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag had a great cricketing career and he was certainly one of the most destructive batsmen we have ever seen playing cricket. The cricketer who played for Delhi and Haryana in the domestic circuits made his debut in the year 1999 and slowly he became an integral part of the team in all the formats. However, there was a time when the Sultan of Multan even thought of taking retirement from the ODI after he was dropped from the team by the then skipper MS Dhoni.
In a recent interview, Viru paaji stated that he made a comeback in the test team after getting dropped for a year in 2008 and played well but in ODIs, he was not able to perform well in the first four matches so MS Dhoni dropped him from the team. He added that it was then he thought of taking retirement from ODIs and keep on playing the purest form of the game only but the legendary former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar stopped him by saying that this was just a bad phase, he should wait, return home, think properly and then take a decision. Sehwag went on to say that it was good for him that he didn’t take retirement as he played for the country in all the three formats for next 7-8 years and was also a part of the Indian squad which won the 2011 World Cup.
If we talk about that tri-series, in the first four matches, Viru paaji scored 6, 33, 11 and 14. He was once again included in the squad after two matches but he failed to make an impact as he scored only 14 in that match. Sehwag was again dropped from the playing XI and India went on to win Commonwealth Bank tri-series by defeating Australia in the best of the three finals.
When Virender Sehwag was asked about the failure of Virat Kohli and whether he should take a break from cricket, Viru stated that there are two types of players – firstly, Virat is one of those who love challenges and they enjoy in such situations, he lends his ear to all the criticism, scores runs on the field and proves his critics wrong. He added that the second type are the players who are like him, they don’t care about who is criticizing them or what is being said about them because they know what they need to do, go, play and score runs.
Do you agree with Virender Sehwag’s perception about Virat Kohli? Do let us know.
Dinesh Karthik, the Indian cricketer who performed pretty well in the recently concluded IPL 2022 has made a stunning comeback to the Indian team as he has been selected in the Indian squad which will play 5-match T20I series in South Africa.
DK who is celebrating his 37th birthday today (June 1) made his international debut in the year 2004 and he has played 26 test matches, 94 ODIs and 32 T20Is for the country. He was not able to cement his place in the Indian squad because of the fact that India already had MS Dhoni as a wicketkeeper and as he was the skipper of the team, it was quite obvious that Dhoni was always a part of the team. Dinesh Karthik kept on getting calls for the national duty even under Dhoni’s captaincy but at that time, he used to play as a specialist batsman or used to keep wickets only if Dhoni was not playing the match.
However in 2018, Dinesh Karthik surprised everyone when he played an explosive innings in the finals of the Nidahas Trophy against Bangladesh and clinched victory from the hands of Bangladesh by scoring 29 runs in just 8 balls. He made a big impact on minds of the Indian cricket lovers with this innings and many started comparing him with MS Dhoni.
In a media interaction after the Nidahas Trophy, DK talked about his comparison with Mahi and said that he is a student of the university from where Dhoni has topped. DK says that while his journey has started and it has provided him with hope, Dhoni’s journey has been totally different.
Talking about his selection in the team, he said that it was a great boost for him that he was even considered by the selectors. DK states that he dreams to play in the purest form of the game and despite Wriddhiman Saha doing well, he is happy to be back in the fold of things.
DK was called back in the Indian squad in the year 2017 but he was not selected after the 2019 World Cup semi-final which India lost to New Zealand. Now after three years, Dinesh Karthik has made a comeback in team India and he is one of those very few cricketers who are proving that age is just a number.
Mumbai Indians, the team which has won the IPL title five times and is considered to be the most successful team of the tournament had a disastrous season this year as it ended the league at the bottom of the points table. MI won only 4 out of 14 matches that it played in the IPL 2022 and the team which was one of the favorites to win the tournament at the start of the season didn’t even qualify for the play-offs.
Recently in an interview, the skipper of MI Rohit Sharma opened up on the failure of his team in the lately concluded league. He said that even though this season was unexpected for them, they would still focus on the positives and lessons that they got in the IPL 2022. He was quite happy with the fact that the unity in the team is intact and everyone supported each other in the group. Hitman, as his fans love to call him, states that now all depends on how they prepare for the next season and they will surely come back stronger in the next tournament. He also added that though they had a poor season, they wanted to end it on a high note by winning their last match and they succeeded in it.
Rohit Sharma further said that having unity in the squad is really a good sign and no one in MI gave up. He goes on to say that he is proud because all of them stayed just like a family, giving their best during the training sessions and working for fulfilling one goal.
Rohit Sharma who is also the skipper of the Indian national team praises the young cricketers of MI such as Tilak Varma and Dewald Brevis who have played some impressive knocks in the tournament. He is of the opinion that some of these youngsters will be big names of the cricket world in the near future.
Though the Indian squad will leave soon for South Africa where it will be playing 5-match T20I series, Rohit Sharma won’t be leading the team as he is being rested by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) because he has been in bio-bubble for quite long time now. In his absence, KL Rahul will lead the team and everyone is hoping that Rohit Sharma gets his form back before the high-profile tour of England.
We wish Rohit Sharma & Mumbai Indians luck for the IPL 2023!
Each one of us experiences the pain of losing our loved ones, it may be from our family, friends or from our workplace, teachers, etc. but have you ever given a thought as to what happens to their soul after their heart stops working. It won’t be wrong to say that people from medical fraternity experience this unfortunate incident very closely as many patients lose their lives in front of them. So it is quite obvious that they are the people who are likely to face the supernatural events the most.
There are some fortunate people who remain alive to tell or talk about the supernatural activity experienced by them because they manage to get away with it somehow but there are times when people have so close encounters that it is highly difficult for them to escape.
Here we present a creepy short film entitled “The Tag” and its interesting end is something you just can’t miss. The film features Shahid Kapoor’s sister Sanah Kapur who is making her debut in this field with it and we must admit that her performance throughout the video is quite appealing.
Talking about the short film, it starts at a hospital where a surgeon performs a critical surgery but is not able to save the patient. In the meantime, a guy is seen crying profusely and a girl (character played by Sanah) apologizes to him. Later the same doctor goes to a lift and Sanah also joins him after few moments. The lift stops suddenly and the doctor sees someone coming in the direction of the lift after which he makes every possible attempt to close the lift as soon as possible. This act of the doctor makes Sanah curious and she asks him the reason behind it. What he tells her and the subsequent conversation between the doctor and Sanah is something that will send the chills down your spine.
Don’t miss the end!

Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans has won the IPL 2022 after defeating Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals in the finals which was played on May 29 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. While GT won the tournament in its debut season, it was the second time that RR made it to the finals of the IPL after winning the tournament in its inaugural edition of 2008 under the leadership of legendary former Aussie cricketer, Shane Warne who departed from the world in March this year due to heart attack.
Sanju Samson became the second RR skipper to take his team into the finals and though Rajasthan Royals lost the finals yet the cricketer was praised a lot for his batting as well as captaincy. Apart from Sanju Samson, his wife Charulatha also made headlines just before the finals when she took a dig at the official broadcaster of the IPL 2022 for not showing RR in the race for the trophy in an animated video.
Charulatha can give quite tough competition to actresses when it comes to beautiful looks plus she is a well-educated girl who is working as an entrepreneur. She hails from Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram and after completing her schooling from Arya Central School, she joined Mar Ivanios College for graduation and this was where she met Sanju Samson.
While Charulatha pursued graduation in chemistry, Sanju Samson graduated in arts from the same college. Their love story started when Sanju Samson sent her friend request on the social networking site Facebook and Charulatha accepted it. Soon they started talking and also began to meet whenever they got the chance.
After dating for 5 years, they decided to get married and it was on 22nd December 2018 that the couple got hitched. Their wedding was not a big affair as only 30 people from both the sides attended the ceremony which took place in a resort in Kovalam.
A reception was given after the wedding at Girideepam Convention Centre in Nalanchira which was attended by some prominent figures including Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and former Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid who has also played for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.
As Sanju Samson is a Christian by religion and Charulatha is a Nair Hindu, their marriage has been registered under the Special Marriage Act.
The Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt has proved her talent many times with her performances in movies and her last release “Gangubai Kathiawadi” can easily be called a milestone of her career because she was appreciated a lot for her acting in the flick across the globe. The movie was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and it was pretty much inspired from the life story of Ganga Jagjivandas Kathiawadi better known as Gangubai Kothewali. Ajay Devgn also did a cameo in the film which was based on the story of a girl who got forced into pr*stitution but she went on to become a political figure and worked for the welfare of the pr*stitutes and their kids.
Alia Bhatt earned accolades for her role in “Gangubai Kathiawadi” but recently someone circulated the video clip of a 1983 released movie “Mandi” in which Alia’s mother Soni Razdan played the role of a pr*stitute and netizens are amused after seeing the uncanny similarity between the mother and the daughter.
“Mandi” was directed by Shyam Benegal and it was based on an Urdu story Aanandi which was written by Ghulam Abbas. The film starred many big names of the movie industry of those times such as Shabana Azmi, Naseeruddin Shah, Annu Kapoor, Satish Kaushik, Pankaj Kapur, Amrish Puri, Smita Patil, Neena Gupta, Om Puri and others.
Here is the tweet in which a user shared the video clip of “Mandi” with the caption, “In the late 70s @Soni_Razdan acted in #Mandi as s*x worker, now @aliaa08 in #GangubaiKathiawadi , both have tremendous resemblance, both are best actresses. Soni then looks ditto Alia of now”.
Soon, Twitterati started reacting on this matter and some people even called Alia a Xerox copy of Soni Razdan. There were also few who told Soni that she is looking exactly like her daughter Alia. Check out some of the selected reactions:
As the tweet went viral, Alia Bhatt’s mother and senior actress Soni Razdan also came across this video clip and she responded with, “Oh gosh a blast from the past all right!”
