<p>Can you imagine a world where someone does not know about Shah Rukh Khan? That was the exact reaction that Indian comedian Vir Das had when Whitney Cummings told him that she didn’t know about him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On a podcast session called Good For You with Whitney Cummings, Vir Das told her that Shah Rukh Khan is the “biggest star in the world” and added that while Brad Pitt could walk down a street in Los Angeles but Shah Rukh Khan stepping out in Mumbai would lead to a “stampede”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>That led Whitney Cummings to search for Shah Rukh Khan on Google. As she continued with her search, Vir said, “That’s the biggest star in the world, pretty much. Like in terms of everything.

<p>It took more than a wave of a wand, but Pakistani university students transformed their 150-year-old campus into Hogwarts this week as they kicked off a festival celebrating the fictional young wizard Harry Potter.</p>

<p>With its vast halls and soaring archways, Government College University in the eastern megacity of Lahore has long reminded students of the magical school created by British author J.K. Rowling, several students told AFP.</p>

<p>Alec Baldwin said he does not feel guilty for the death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust," as he explained that he started <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-alec-baldwin-denies-pulling-trigger-in-rust-shooting-433408">cocking the gun</a> that killed the cinematographer but did not pull the trigger.</p>

<p>"I feel that someone is responsible for what happened and I can't say who that is. But I know it's not me," the US actor told ABC in his first major interview since the on-set tragedy in New Mexico in October.</p>

<p>"I mean, I honest to God, if I felt that I was responsible, I might have killed myself," he said in the interview broadcast Thursday.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/alec-baldwin-to-give-his-account-of-fatal-rust-shooting-in-a-tv-interview-433635" hreflang="en">Alec Baldwin to give his account of fatal 'Rust' shooting in a TV interview&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>Baldwin was rehearsing a scene on the low-budget Western when the Colt .45 he was brandishing discharged a live round that struck Hutchins and director Joel Souza, who survived.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The former "30 Rock" star said the criminal investigation should focus on discovering who had brought live rounds onto the set of "Rust."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I don't have anything to hide," he said.</p>

<p>Describing the incident in detail, Baldwin said he had been told the gun was "cold" -- industry lingo for a firearm containing no live ammunition -- and had been instructed by Hutchins to point the gun in her direction as she prepared to film the scene.</p>

<p>"I let go of the hammer. Bang. The gun goes off," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Everyone is horrified. They're shocked. It's loud. They don't have their earplugs in... the gun was supposed to be empty. I was told I was handed an empty gun."</p>

<p>Baldwin said he initially thought Hutchins may have fainted or had a heart attack, and was only told she had been killed with a live round hours later following a lengthy police interview.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He dismissed suggestions that live rounds may have been introduced on set as an act of sabotage, saying it was "overwhelmingly likely that it was an accident."</p>

<p>Baldwin, along with other people working on "Rust," is facing two civil lawsuits, while prosecutors have refused to rule out criminal charges.</p>

<p>He said he would be "stunned" if Hutchins' husband did not also file a lawsuit against producers, including himself.</p>

<p>The tragedy has sent shockwaves through Hollywood, and led to calls for guns to be permanently banned from sets.</p>

<p>Baldwin said he had been called a "murderer" since the incident, but disputed claims from some critics that it was an actor's responsibility to check weapons.</p>

<p>But, he said, the tragedy had changed things for him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I can't imagine I'd ever do a movie that had a gun in it again," said Baldwin.</p>

Alec Baldwin says does not feel guilt over 'Rust' shooting death

<p>“Home — what does it mean to you?” That’s the question that hovers over “Flee,” Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s piercing animated documentary about a high school friend of his who emigrated from Afghanistan to Denmark as a teenager.</p>

<p>For reasons that become clear in the course of the film, the friend — now a grown man with a solid relationship and a flourishing academic career — is given a pseudonym. He’s called Amin, and the animation adds a further layer of protection. But the voice that tells the story belongs to him, and the story itself is filtered through painful memories that he has kept to himself for a long time.</p>

<p>At the start of the movie, Amin lies on his back with his eyes closed as Rasmussen prepares to film, a setup that suggests a cartoon version of psychoanalysis. And while the narrative moves mostly in a straight line, it also doubles back and encounters obstacles, proceeding into the past by means of association, indirection and the overcoming of repressed knowledge. That creates not only suspense, as we wonder what will happen to Amin and his family, but also a powerful feeling of intimacy. “Flee” may be about a pressing global issue — the plight of refugees displaced by war and other emergencies since at least the 1980s — but it’s also about a specific person’s life.</p>

<p>The first home that Amin remembers is in Kabul. As the youngest of five children — their father was a military officer — Amin watched as the Soviet-backed government in Afghanistan gave way to the US-financed mujahedeen. The conflict is depicted in live-action news footage and also in shadowy, almost abstract black-and-white images. The politics are less important than the confusion and trauma a child experiences as his world unravels. Amin’s father is arrested, and his older brother narrowly escapes being conscripted.</p>

<p>Another brother lives in Sweden, and the rest of the family relies on his help once they flee to Moscow. Russia is home for a while, but after 1989 it becomes an increasingly treacherous place, a land of poverty, corruption and brutal weather. Scandinavia seems more promising, but getting there is expensive and dangerous, and requires some agonizing choices.</p>

<p>From the start, we know that Amin made it safely to Copenhagen. His reminiscences are interwoven with scenes from his adult life.

<p>Less a sociological case study than a psychological portrait, the film is both probing and tactful. The fact that it arose out of Rasmussen’s friendship with Amin creates a feeling of trust. The director is receptive to Amin’s secrets and aware of the nuances of his personality. As much as “Flee” is a refugee’s tale of flight and eventual settling, it’s also a coming-out story, and as such a complex reflection on different forms of outsiderhood.</p>

<p>To be an immigrant in Denmark and a gay man in Afghanistan are hardly equivalent, but the nuances of both experiences yield some touching, surprising and funny moments.

‘Flee’ review: From Kabul to Copenhagen

<p>It was a night to remember for BTS fans as the K pop group performed in Los Angeles, their third concert ‘Permission to Dance’. Interestingly, all members including RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook did something quirky to make it a memorable night for their fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>What definitely stood out was that BTS member V sported the Squid Game outfit -- pink jumpsuit along with a black face mask worn by guards in the Netflix show. He performed through the night in that outfit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another member, Jin, was also seen trying on the black mask. In their last concert, Jin had channelled Squid Game’s Younghee doll. He was seen in two pigtails and while others played games like Red Light, Green Light - he acted as the doll.&nbsp;</p>

<p>BTS&nbsp;sang many of their tracks including Save Me, Butter, Love Myself, Idol, Mikrokosmos, Pied Piper, among others.</p>

<p>Alec Baldwin has said he did not pull the trigger of the gun he was holding that killed a cinematographer on the movie set of "Rust."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In his first major interview since the tragedy in October, the US actor also said he has "no idea" how a live round had gotten onto the set of the low-budget Western in New Mexico.</p>

<p>"The trigger wasn't pulled -- I didn't pull the trigger," he said in an excerpt of an interview with ABC News released on Wednesday.</p>

<p>"No, no, no. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never."</p>

<p>In the interview, set to air in full on ABC on Thursday evening, Baldwin did not elaborate on how the weapon had gone off.</p>

<p>Baldwin, also a producer on "Rust," was rehearsing a scene in which his character brandishes a Colt .45 when cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed.</p>

<p>The weapon was meant to contain dummy -- or fake -- rounds, and Baldwin was asked in the interview how a real bullet had ended up within the firearm.</p>

<p>"I have no idea. Someone put a live bullet in a gun -- a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be on the property," said Baldwin.</p>

<p>Wonder how much carbon footprint our favourite fast fashion and luxury brands have in this world? Well, it’s a lot. According to data released by a new research, the fashion industry’s global supply chains are contributing to deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. This, as their tanneries and other companies involved in the production of leather and leather goods are overconsuming the natural resources.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the report conducted by Stand.earth which is a supply chain research firm, brands like Coach, LVMH, Prada, H&amp;M, Zara, Adidas, Nike, New Balance, Teva, UGG and Fendi have multiple connections to an industry that is harming the Amazon rainforest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apparently, they are all connected with a Brazilian leather exporter called JBS which aids and abets Amazon deforestation. &nbsp;Greg Higgs, one of the researchers involved in the report said, “With a third of companies surveyed having some kind of policy in place, [you’d expect] that would have an impact on deforestation.

<p>This comes after these luxury fashion brands have recently pledged to reduce their carbon footprint and not contribute to deforestation directly or indirectly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2019 and 2020, Brazil faced criticism from world leaders for not doing more to protect the forest from raging wildfires. Deforestation in the critical ecosystem continues at an alarming rate. Research has shown that the cattle industry is the single largest driver of deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.</p>
