In pics: 5 Celebrities engagements and proposals that set relationship goals

<p>The whole nation was full of pride when 21-year-old Indian girl Harnaaz Sandhu brought back the crown of Miss Universe after a long gap of two decades. Now, Sandhu who returned to India has been heavily trolled over her fat gain.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Harnaaz, who has constantly made public appearances ever since her return to her homeland, has now revealed that she's dealing with celiac disease after facing heavy trolling. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
As quoted by PTI, she said, "nobody knows about my celiac disease. That I can't eat wheat flour and many other things."<br />
<br />
“Many people do not know I am allergic to gluten. I’m one of those individuals who was first bullied that ‘she’s too skinny and now they bully me by saying ‘she’s fat’. Nobody knows about my celiac disease. That I can’t eat wheat flour and many other things.''<br />
<br />
Explaining how geographical change affects all of us, she said,&nbsp;“When you go to a village, you see changes in your body. And I went to New York for the very first time, it’s is a whole other world altogether.”<br />
<br />
<strong>What is Celiac Disease?</strong><br />
<br />
It's an autoimmune disease that is triggered by foods containing gluten, it is&nbsp;a protein that is found in grains, like wheat, and barley among others. So, people who suffer from this disease, are suggested to avoid gluten food, as it affects their small intestine and the reaction can damage the small intestine's lining and affects the absorption of some nutrients.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>What are the effects?</strong><br />
<br />
The intestinal damage often causes diarrhoea, fatigue, weight loss, and bloating, and if precautions are not taken, it may lead to serious complications.<br />
<br />
<strong>Any specific treatment for Celiac disease?</strong><br />
<br />
Curruntly, there is no particular treatment for the disease other than following a strict gluten-free diet, which demands a big diet change and precaution for sure, as most of the food contains gluten.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>What one can eat suffering from Celiac disease?</strong><br />
<br />
So major foods are prohibited, but that doesn’t mean that there's nothing to eat. There are pretty many gluten-free foods are available that you incorporate into your diet.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Many foods like dairy products, fruit and vegetables, meat and fish are free from gluten which you can add to your diet and&nbsp;rice, corn, potato, soybean or maize are recommended.</p>

<p>Roman Polanski cast a shadow over France's Cesar Awards on Friday even as he won best directing for his film 'An Officer and a Spy', with several women in the audience walking out in protest at honouring a man facing rape accusations.</p>

<p>The French-Polish director`s dozen nominations had divided opinion in France, a country where the #MeToo movement that inspired women globally to out powerful men for sexual misconduct has struggled to gain traction.</p>

<p>Polanski, 86, whose film also picked up awards for best adaptation and best costume designer, stayed away from the event, saying he feared he would be lynched.</p>

<br />
Controversy had swirled around the inclusion in the awards programme of Polanski, who fled the United States for France in the late 1970s after admitting raping a 13-year-old girl, and faces more recent allegations of sexual assault.</p>

<p>Polanski denies the latest accusations against him.<br />
<br />
During the ceremony, the biggest night on the French cinema calendar, Polanski served as both lightning rod and punch line, with the ceremony`s host quipping about paedophilia.<br />
<br />
"It is the last (event) of one era and the first of another," actress Sandrine Kiberlain said.<br />
<br />
Among those who left the venue early was leading actress Adele Haenel, who last year revealed she had been sexually abused as a child by another director.</p>

<p>Haenel told the New York Times before the ceremony that France had "missed the boat" on #MeToo and criticised the Cesar Awards for recognising Polanski.</p>

<p><br />
"Distinguishing Polanski is spitting in the face of all victims. It means raping women isn`t that bad," she said.</p>

<p>Protesters outside clashed with police shortly before the biggest names in French film arrived at the Pleynel concert hall, but none made it onto the red carpet. Nearby, other protesters peacefully waved placards reading "Shame on an industry that protects rapists."<br />
<br />
Wrong message in #Metoo era "An Officer and a Spy" chronicles the persecution of French Jewish army officer Alfred Dreyfus in the 1890s. It lost out on best film to "Les Miserables".<br />
<br />
Polanski himself survived the Holocaust, while his mother died in a Nazi concentration camp. He shot to fame in the United States with his 1968 Hollywood film "Rosemary`s Baby."<br />
<br />
Polanski`s cast and production team boycotted the Cesars on Friday after Culture Minister Franck Riester said the success of a director accused of sexual violence would send the wrong signal in the #MeToo era.<br />
<br />
French photographer Valentine Monnier last year accused Polanski of raping her in 1975 when she was an 18-year-old model and actress. Polanski has denied the charge.<br />
<br />
It is the second time in five months that recognition of Polanski, who was expelled last year from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - which bestows the Oscars - has prompted disquiet.<br />
<br />
Organisers of the Venice Film Festival drew criticism for including Polanski`s work in the programme. It went on to take the festival`s Silver Lion Grand Jury in September.<br />
<br />
The French awards come in the same week that Harvey Weinstein, once one of Hollywood’s most influential producers, was convicted of sexual assault and rape by a New York court.<br />
<br />
Several male actors tiptoed carefully around the subject of Polanski on Friday night.<br />
<br />
"I hope that we will always be able to continue playing the game of seduction with each other in cinema and in real life. There, I made it, I offended no one," said actor and director Mathieu Kassovitz.<br />
<br />
Critics of the #MeToo movement in France say it is puritanical and fuelled by a hated of men.<br />
<br />
Ahead of the Cesars, former French film star Brigitte Bardot rallied support for Polanski.<br />

<p>&nbsp;Actor Robert Conrad who marked his identity with the widely popular 1960s television series 'The Wild Wild West'&nbsp;and 'Hawaiian Eye'&nbsp;passed away on Saturday. He was 84.<br />
<br />
The actor died of heart failure in Malibu, California, family spokesperson Jeff Ballard said, as cited by news agency.<br />
<br />
"He lived a wonderfully long life and while the family is saddened by his passing, he will live forever in their hearts," Ballard said.<br />
<br />
The handsome actor rose to prominence overnight after the show 'Hawaiian Eye'&nbsp;debuted in 1959. He essayed the role of Tom Lopaka, a daring private investigator. Anthony Eisley played his partner Tracy Steele. After five seasons with the show, Conrad went on to embrace the television craze of the time, period Westerns, but with a decidedly different twist.<br />
<br />
After gracing the show with his performance for a continuous five seasons, he went to act for the hugely popular 'The Wild, Wild West'&nbsp;which was debuted in 1965.<br />
<br />
The late actor played a James Bond-like agent James T West, who used innovative knacks and gadgets to battle, bizarre villains.&nbsp;Conrad is survived by eight children and 18 grandchildren.</p>

'Panga' title track showcases strength of efforts in an athlete's life

<p>Two men featured in a 2019 documentary alleging sexual abuse by Michael Jackson were given the go-ahead on Friday to pursue claims against two of the late singer's companies.<br />
<br />
A California appeals court ruled that Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who appeared in '<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/trailer-of-michael-jacksons-controversial-documentary-leaving-neverland-is-out-198495">Leaving Neverland'</a>,&nbsp;could pursue their claims because of a change in California law.<br />
<br />
Robson and Safechuck say they were befriended by Jackson and were abused by him from the ages of 7 and 10 in the early 1990s.<br />
<br />

<br />
A lower court had dismissed lawsuits brought by the two, now adult, men because California's statute of limitations had required that claims of childhood sexual assault be filed before an accuser's 26th birthday.

"We are pleased that the Court&nbsp;has&nbsp;recognized the strong protections California&nbsp;has put into&nbsp;place for sexual abuse victims&nbsp;under&nbsp;the state's new law extending the statute of limitations," Vince Finaldi, the lawyer for the two men, said in a statement after the ruling by the Second Appellate District in the California Court of Appeals.<br />

Two men featured in a 2019 documentary alleging sexual abuse by Michael Jackson were given the go-ahead on Friday to pursue claims against two of the late singer's companies.

Two men featured in a 2019 documentary alleging sexual abuse by Michael Jackson were given the go-ahead on Friday to pursue claims against two of the late singer's companies. A California appeals court ruled that Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who appeared in 'Leaving Neverland', could pursue their claims because of a change in California law. Robson and Safechuck say they were befriended by Jackson and were abused by him from the ages of 7 and 10 in the early 1990s. Jackson died in 2009, but the singer's family has denied the claims and described 'Leaving Neverland' as a public lynching. Jackson was acquitted at a 2005 trial in California on charges of molesting a different, 13-year-old, boy. A lower court had dismissed lawsuits brought by the two, now adult, men because California's statute of limitations had required that claims of childhood sexual assault be filed before an accuser's 26th birthday. The revised law, which came into effect on Jan. 1, extends the period until an accuser's 40th birthday. "We are pleased that the Court has recognized the strong protections California has put into place for sexual abuse victims under the state's new law extending the statute of limitations," Vince Finaldi, the lawyer for the two men, said in a statement after the ruling by the Second Appellate District in the California Court of Appeals.

<p>After the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur constituted a panel to decide whether legendary poet Faiz Ahmed's&nbsp;poem 'Hum Dekhenge'&nbsp;is offensive to Hindu sentiments, senior lyricist Javed Akhtar on Thursday termed the incident absurd and funny.<br />
<br />
Speaking to ANI about Faiz and the recent controversy, the writer told ANI, "Calling Faiz Ahmed Faiz 'anti-Hindu'&nbsp;is so absurd and funny that it's difficult to seriously talk about it.<br />
<br />
"The writer further said that Faiz wrote the poem 'Hum Dekhenge'&nbsp;against the then Pakistan government run by the former President of the country Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq."<br />
<br />
He lived half his life outside Pakistan, he was called anti-Pakistan there. 'Hum Dekhenge'&nbsp;he wrote against Zia ul Haq's government which was a communal regressive and fundamentalist government," Akhtar told ANI.<br />
<br />
Further rejecting the claim of the poem being 'anti-Hindu', Akhtar explained a phrase from the poem and said, "He has mentioned a phrase - 'Goonjega an-al-Haq ka naara'&nbsp;which means 'Aham Brahma', which means that the creator and creation is one, it is not an Islamic thought".<br />
<br />
Earlier on Thursday, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur has set up a committee to look into the issue. The move came after some faculty member complaint that the students who took out a peaceful march on the campus on December 17 against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and in solidarity with Jamia Millia Islamia students, sung it as a mark of protest, which hurt the sentiments of other communities.<br />

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and came to India on or before December 31, 2014.&nbsp;</p>
