<p>Amid the ongoing divorce proceedings of Vijay with his wife Sangeeta Sornalingam, rumours linking the <i>Jana Nayagan</i> actor with Trisha Krishnan has resurfaced on social media. Recently, filmmaker Vikram Bhatt reacted to the speculations, urged people not to interfere in the duo's personal lives.</p><h2>Vikram Bhatt reacts</h2><p>Taking to social media, Bhatt shared a note addressing the rumours around the two actors. "There has been a great deal of noise about the personal lives of Vijay and Trisha Krishnan. I do not know whether the rumours online are true or not. But if they are, then I feel compelled to say a few things," he said. "My recent incarceration has made me understand the value of freedom. What it is to crave a cup of tea that is not going to come. What it is to hunt for a tube of toothpaste. What it is to wait for seven in the evening, when the bail applications come in."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/vijay-s-jana-nayagan-pushed-further-censor-board-postpones-the-film-s-review-screening-1773058020509"><strong>Vijay’s Jana Nayagan pushed further?

It came together to find happiness and its going away to find happiness."</p><h2>Bhatt admires Vijay and Trisha</h2><p>Speaking about the rumoured couple, Bhatt shared, "I find something admirable in Vijay and Trisha. There is dignity in not pretending that something does not exist. There is dignity in not hiding love as though it were something sinful." He further added, "We all know the other kind of life that people live. Men who run anonymous profiles on dating sites. Men who delete their messages before they get home. Men who spend afternoons with women they will never respect enough to acknowledge publicly. And yet it is often these very people who sit in judgment over others."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/trisha-krishnan-fires-back-at-actor-director-parthiban-for-kept-at-home-remark-crude-words-without-1773031586729"><strong>Trisha Krishnan fires back at actor-director Parthiban for 'kept at home' remark</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Vikram Bhatt has recently reacted to the rumours around Vijay, and Trisha Krishnan on his social media. The filmmaker shared a long note defending the duo amid the ongoing divorce rumours of the Jana Nayagan actor.

Amid the ongoing divorce proceedings of Vijay with his wife Sangeeta Sornalingam, rumours linking the Jana Nayagan actor with Trisha Krishnan has resurfaced on social media. Recently, filmmaker Vikram Bhatt reacted to the speculations, urged people not to interfere in the duo's personal lives. Vikram Bhatt reacts Taking to social media, Bhatt shared a note addressing the rumours around the two actors. "There has been a great deal of noise about the personal lives of Vijay and Trisha Krishnan. I do not know whether the rumours online are true or not. But if they are, then I feel compelled to say a few things," he said. "My recent incarceration has made me understand the value of freedom. What it is to crave a cup of tea that is not going to come. What it is to hunt for a tube of toothpaste. What it is to wait for seven in the evening, when the bail applications come in." Also Read: Vijay’s Jana Nayagan pushed further?

I have been somebody’s fool, and I have been fooled. In other words, I have been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt. The human heart is fallible. It goes where it finds happiness. It came together to find happiness and its going away to find happiness." Bhatt admires Vijay and Trisha Speaking about the rumoured couple, Bhatt shared, "I find something admirable in Vijay and Trisha. There is dignity in not pretending that something does not exist. There is dignity in not hiding love as though it were something sinful." He further added, "We all know the other kind of life that people live. Men who run anonymous profiles on dating sites. Men who delete their messages before they get home. Men who spend afternoons with women they will never respect enough to acknowledge publicly.

I thought to myself: if we created a space that was only for women, would they respond? Because a lot of women still feel that exercise and sport is mostly for men. If it's only for women, then they'll know it's for them. And they responded - really well. Every city we went to, there was more excitement, bigger crowds. Women started saying: can we do this? Can we do that? All the suggestions came from them. We are the first event to have a breastfeeding zone. The first to start sari wearing runs, sari wearing cycling, yoga and walking, things like that. Creating all these different communities within the community, so that no woman feels this event is not for her. The event is for them. And the cause is them - they are running for themselves, not for somebody or something outside.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/alpha-alia-bhatt-sharvari-starrer-gets-new-date-yrf-confirms-theatrical-release-1773043088839"><strong>Alpha: Alia Bhatt starrer gets new date, YRF confirms theatrical release</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Q: Aspect Sport is your official partner this year.

Exclusive | 'Fitness is not about six-pack abs': Milind Soman shares his advice for staying healthy as you age

<p>The Regency-era show <i>Bridgerton</i> recently ended with season 4, and fans are already waiting for the upcoming season to see whose story would be next. The latest season featuring Luke Thompson, playing the role of Benedict Bridgerton, and Yerin Ha, playing Sophie Baek, has become the talk of the town for their bond and chemistry both off-screen and on-screen. With promotions of the show throughout, fans got a glimpse of their friendly relationship. But how did the ISTG meme of Luke Thompson go viral? Let's delve in to know</p><h2>Viral ISTG meme of Luke Thompson</h2><p>In the clip, Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha are seen sitting down for a compliment battle with Teen Vogue. Luke is asked to read a sweet fan compliment to his co-star. The fan had written, "She is so ethereal. ISTG, I will fight Benedict for her. She is already the most perfect Sophie. I love her sm." "ISTG" and—instead of glossing over it or saying the full phrase—he pronounces it phonetically, as if it were a word: "Istg". The clip shows Yerin Ha absolutely losing it with the pronunciation.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/slow-burn-courtship-and-scandal-decoding-bridgerton-s-stages-of-love-with-every-season-1772279193039"><strong>Slow burn, courtship and scandal!: Decoding Bridgerton's stages of love with every season</strong></a></p>

<p>The same topic was raised in another interview in which he said the same word again. When Yerin asked what it means, Luke says it confidently 'INSTAGRAM'. Yerin loses it after listening it and laughs it off. Following this, she gently says to him it means 'I swear to God'. Both of these moments accidentally have become so hilarious, leading as a meme template.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/bridgerton-season-4-part-2-review-benedict-and-sophie-s-love-story-that-takes-its-time-to-bloom-1772120286987"><strong>Bridgerton Season 4, Part 2 review: Benedict and Sophie's love story that takes its time to bloom</strong></a></p>

Sukbhir’s song Ishq Tera Tadpave may have been released in 1999, but the song remains timeless more than two decades later. It is a song for the ages. No celebration in India is complete without Sukhbir’s iconic song. While the song is in Punjabi, it has found love all across the world. The latest fan of the track seems to be Latin pop star Ricky Martin. On Sunday, India won the T20 World Cup after defeating New Zealand in a historic match in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. The energy at the packed stadium was electrifying from the beginning. Ricky Martin put up a spectacular performance as he headlined the closing ceremony alongside popular Indian performers Falguni Pathak and Sukhbir Singh. And while Ricky’s performance was loved by one and all, it is the BTS footage of the singer that caught the attention of the internet.
