Known for speaking her heart out, Celina Jaitly has sparked a new discussion on social media over the removal of blue tick. Readers would recall that, earlier this month, verified accounts on Twitter lost their signature blue tick which has now become a paid luxury. As per Jaitly, while this is applicable for most of them on the platform, she has requested to make global icons like Amitabh Bachchan to make an exception, considering the popularity and fan following they have brought to the platform.

Celina Jaitly penned a letter to Elon Musk regarding the missing verification blue tick sign, saying, ‘Dear Mr @elonmusk with all my due respects as an admirer, I would like to bring a moment of your attention to the fact that a global icon like respected Shree @SrBachchan gets a phenomenal credibility to your platform #twitter. Incredible icons like him are the people who made Twitter what it is today…” She further went on to add, “Charting monetisation policies could have been done in a more aesthetic manner by not categorising highly accomplished World influencers under 114Euro blue ticks. Maybe your brand & marketing team could chart a new verification colour which celebrates & not charges authentic incredible achievers like Mr Amitabh Bachchan & us who were the 1st few to make Twitter what it is today. Hope you will consider this feedback.. I remain #celinajaitly”.

Her tweet came after Amitabh Bachchan took to the platform to request Elon Musk to return his blue-tick, stating that he has already made the payment to retain the signature mark. He had said, “Hey Twitter! Are you listening? Now I have paid for the subscription too… please put back that blue tick next to my name so that people know I am the real Amitabh Bachchan.. Requesting with folded hands. Do I need to bow down on your feet too?”

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
