Twinkle Khanna, known for her sharp wit and insightful commentary, is back at it, this time aiming at the pervasive issue of fake news. In her column for The Times of India, Twinkle tackles a particularly absurd rumor: her alleged performance for fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

Through a blend of humor and reason, Khanna exposes an old allegation. By acknowledging her own lack of dancing prowess, she subtly highlights the absurdity of the claim. She wrote, “I have even seen my name on a mainstream television channel ticker saying I had performed a medley of songs for Dawood.”

The former actress further added, “Considering that even my children think my dancing skills are akin to watching a WWF match between a lone wrestler and gravity, the news channels should have known that Dawood would have chosen more skilled performers. But such is the world of fake news.”

The actress-turned-author’s column goes beyond personal experience, addressing the broader societal impact of fake news. She cites manipulated news stories and the spread of misinformation - particularly on social media platforms like WhatsApp and YouTube - as major concerns. She recounts an interaction with a taxi driver in Chennai who attributed actor Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide to false theories circulating online.

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...
