<h3>FTII students paste ‘gayab’ poster on R Madhavan's office</h3><p>R Madhavan found himself in controversy after a picture went viral of an FTII student questioning his silence on the NEET protest. Mocking his choice to stay silent on the matter that involves the future of the students, a poster was posted on the actor's office door with a nameplate reading "R. Madhavan, Chairman, FTII." The white paper featured the infamous ‘Gayab’ meme on it. Along with this, they wrote, “NEET for sale.”&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read</strong>: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/bigg-boss-17-and-dhurandhar-fame-ayesha-khan-detained-by-police-during-protest-in-mumbai-1784725435793">Dhurandhar fame Ayesha Khan detained by police during protest in Mumbai</a></p>

The European Union on Wednesday gave the conditional green light for Paramount Skydance's $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. After there were concerns about the deal's impact on film distribution in Europe, Brussels said Paramount must terminate its stake in United International Pictures -- a joint venture with Universal -- in the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes 27 EU states. European regulators said in a statement that for a period of 10 years, Paramount should also not directly or indirectly "enter into any agreement or understanding with Universal to jointly co-distribute films in the EEA".

"These commitments fully address the competition concerns identified by the (European) Commission by ensuring that the films of the merged entity will not be distributed jointly with those of Universal or Disney," the EU said. "Under the supervision of the commission, an independent trustee will monitor their implementation," it added.

<p>Taking to Instagram stories, Dulquer wrote, “What’s happening at Jantar Mantar is a reminder to pause, listen, and choose understanding. Education has always been about hope, opportunity, and the promise of a better future. Seeing young people face uncertainty is gut-wrenching. What breaks my heart even more is knowing some students feel they have no way forward, whilst others even choosing to end everything. And parents carrying that pain and debts trying to keep their hopes alive.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

As videos from the protest site continue to go viral, students remain at the protest site with a single demand: the resignation of the Education Minister. Several celebrities have taken part in the protests, including veteran star Shabana Azmi, Dhurandhar actress Ayesha Khan, and others.

The film industry continues to speak in favour of the protestors over the NEET paper leak as they demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. For over two weeks, a peaceful protest was underway at Jantar Mantar when environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk sat on a hunger strike. But things took a different turn on March 20, when protestors started marching towards Parliament. The situation escalated when police stopped them and allegedly beat young students with sticks and plastic rods. As videos from the protest site continue to go viral, students remain at the protest site with a single demand: the resignation of the Education Minister. Several celebrities have taken part in the protests, including veteran star Shabana Azmi, Dhurandhar actress Ayesha Khan, and others. Those who have not joined in person have also spoken out, some in support of the education system, while others have shared their political views on the sidelines of the protest. ‘Deeply distressed’: Dulquer Salmaan, Aditi Rao Hydari and Imraan Khan - celebrities rally behind students Since July 20, celebrities across the film industry have expressed anger over the Delhi Police’s action against student protestors and have urged dialogue.

The condition can lead to chronic inflammation, scarring and adhesions, which change the normal structure of the pelvis, says Dr Chandrashekar. This can have an impact on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the movement and fertilisation of eggs. It can also make the uterus less favourable for embryo implantation. In severe cases, endometriosis may progress to a condition known as a "frozen pelvis," where the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, bladder and other pelvic organs get tightly fused together due to widespread adhesions. This can make natural conception difficult and also make surgery more complex. However, she stresses that not every woman with endometriosis will face infertility. Many are able to conceive naturally, especially when the condition is identified and treated early. If pregnancy does not happen naturally, fertility treatments such as IVF may be considered depending on the woman's age and the severity of the disease. Also Read: Obsessed with true crime dramas? Here's what psychologists say about you Symptoms that should never be ignored According to Dr. Chandrashekar, women should consult a gynaecologist if they experience: Severe menstrual cramps that interfere with daily activities Chronic pelvic pain Pain during or after sexual intercourse Painful bowel movements or urination during menstruation Excessively heavy menstrual bleeding Persistent lower back pain linked to periods Difficulty conceiving after trying for several months Dr. Disha also advises, "Painful periods that keep interrupting your day, you shouldn't have to just handle it quietly. If the pain is intense, getting worse, or paired with heavy bleeding, bowel or bladder discomfort, or trouble conceiving, talk to a gynaecologist. Getting checked early can support faster diagnosis, more effective treatment, and an improved quality of life." Can lifestyle changes help? Dr. Chandrashekar suggests regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, getting adequate sleep and managing stress, which may help reduce inflammation and improve overall well-being. Some women may benefit from a balanced diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, omega-3 fatty acids and foods high in antioxidants while limiting highly processed foods and excessive alcohol. She also notes that pelvic floor physiotherapy, yoga and relaxation techniques may help reduce chronic pelvic pain in some patients. However, these measures should support medical treatment rather than replace professional care.

<p>On July 20, Azmi showed her support by joining the march with other students and speaking to the media. She is heard saying, "All of us who are here have come for a peaceful protest, to exercise the right granted to us by our country's Constitution. Mahatma Gandhi taught us how to conduct a peaceful protest, and we have come here on that very foundation. We have absolutely no intention of causing any kind of violence, and we stand here firmly in that hope."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Recently, Preity Zinta showed her support for the CJP-led student protest and urged activist Sonam Wangchuk to end his fast.

As a result, several students and activists came forward, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and a complete overhaul of the examination system following major paper leaks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This led Sonam Wangchuk, a celebrated Indian engineer, innovator, education reformer, and environmentalist from Ladakh, to sit on a hunger strike, which he began on June 28 and continued for over three weeks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, on July 18 (Saturday), Sonam was forcibly taken to a hospital from Jantar Mantar, the protest site. Continuing the protest, the CJP organised a massive march that drew thousands of students and activists from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament. The initially peaceful protest soon turned violent as police allegedly lathi-charged demonstrators and used tear gas to disperse the crowd.<br>&nbsp;</p>
