<h2>Ishaan Khatter</h2><p>Khatter shared an image from the protest that read as, “Loyalty to the government is not patriotism. Loyalty to the constitution is.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Ishaan Khatter's story

<p>Not just Bollywood, but several actors from south India, too have expressed concern over the violence that took place on Monday in what should have been a peaceful march. Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas took to Instagram and shared, "When the future generation of a nation speaks up, and their voices are met with repressive force, it is the future itself that is being stamped down. It is faith in democracy that is being drained away.<br><br>What did these students do wrong? Did they destroy property? Did they resort to violence? What exactly did they do to deserve this treatment?<br><br>To every person protesting for a just cause, peacefully, in any part of our country, I extend my wholehearted solidarity. The right to dissent is not a threat to democracy; in fact it is one of its foundations."</p>

<p>Parvathy Thiruvothu shared videos of police crackdown on students protesting, questioning the government's lack of apathy for dialogue.&nbsp;</p>

A growing number of celebrities from the film fraternity have been expressing support and solidarity to the CJP-led protest against the NEET paper leak controversy. From Shabana Azmi to Huma Qureshi to Diljit to Ishaan Khatter- many have spoken in support of students on social media. 

As the protest at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar over the NEET exam paper leak rages on, many prominent film celebrities have spoken out in support of the movement led by Cockroach Janta Party and condemned the hard police crackdown on demonstrators in the capital on Monday, July 20. A day after violent confrontation on the streets of Delhi, several actors and singers have backed the students and called for dialogue. Here are some of the celebrities who have extended support to the CJP-led protest and condemned police violence. Diljit Dosanjh Punjabi actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh, who had earlier distanced himself from the protest, on Tuesday criticised the police action against students. "Whatever happened is sad. Students should not be treated like this," the singer posted on Instagram on Tuesday morning. Calling the "voice of the people" the "voice of God", Dosanjh urged authorities to "listen to the students' grievances". Pointing out that he was called "anti-national" for speaking out during the farmers' protest, the singer said he had to suffer a lot and "will again be called anti-national".

They are the heartbeat of our democracy and the true architects of our nation's future. Let us listen, support, and empower them. The energy, courage, and dreams of our young people will shape the India we aspire to build," the couple posted on X.

<p>Speaking at the trailer launch, Huma shared, “A lot of people asked me why I did this show — and I’m sure the same question was on your mind when the script reached you: now you tell two actors to play Batman and Joker, so who will say ‘I don’t want to play Batman’ and which actor wouldn’t want to play Joker? It was a brilliant pitch, and I said yes. I’m such a huge fan of Delhi Crime — season one and season two — and when I got the call to join this universe it felt like a kid getting their favourite toy to play with. This time I play, honestly, the darkest — and most disturbing — character of my career, and I mean that in the best way possible: the ‘best worst’ role I’ve ever done.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/delhi-crime-season-3-trailer-out-shefali-shah-s-dcp-vartika-chaturvedi-to-face-huma-qureshi-s-ruthless-character-1762252559255"><strong>Delhi Crime Season 3 trailer: Shefali Shah's Vartika to face Huma Qureshi</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Adding that she was both intimidated and thrilled to join such an acclaimed ensemble, Huma said she knew she had to bring her A-game to a world audiences have loved for years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>More about Delhi Crime season 3</h2><p>Madam Sir is back to solve yet another criminal case.

<p>The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has recently summoned several prominent Bollywood figures, including comedian Kapil Sharma and actors Huma Qureshi and Hina Khan, for questioning in connection with a money laundering probe linked to the Mahadev betting app case. The news was reported by news agency PTI. This development follows the earlier summons issued to Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, who has requested a two-week extension before appearing for questioning.</p>

<p>The ED has requested these actors to appear at its regional office in Raipur on different dates. The purpose of these summons is to record their statements under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and gain insights into the mode and flow of payments allegedly received by them from the app's promoters.</p>

<p>It is important to note that these actors are not necessarily accused in the case but are believed to have been associated with the Mahadev app in various capacities. Some of them reportedly endorsed the app, while others were involved in entertaining guests at a wedding of one of the app's promoters held abroad.</p>

<p>PTI sources indicate that Kapoor's summons may be just the beginning, as approximately 14-15 other celebrities and actors are also reportedly under the ED's scrutiny in connection with this case. These individuals are expected to be summoned for questioning in the near future.</p>

<p>The Mahadev betting app case revolves around allegations of money laundering and illegal betting operations. The company behind the app, promoted by Sourabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal, was reportedly operating from Dubai. It is alleged that the app was used to enrol new users, create IDs, and launder money through a network of benami bank accounts.</p>

<p>The ED's investigation has revealed that the Mahadev Online Book App operated from a central head office in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and franchised "Panel/Branches" to associates on a 70-30 profit-sharing ratio. Large-scale hawala operations were allegedly employed to transfer the proceeds of betting to offshore accounts. Moreover, significant cash expenditures were incurred in India for advertising betting websites to attract new users and franchise seekers.</p>

Kapil Sharma, Hina Khan, Huma Qureshi summoned by ED in betting app case

<p>With the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir Maharaja's Palace, overlooking the world-famous Dal Lake, it was a picture-perfect venue for ace designer Varun Bahl to showcase his Indian ethnic collection in Srinagar. Actress Huma Qureshi and her actor brother Saqib Saleem were the showstoppers at the event.</p>

<p>Srinagar, listed among the most creative cities in the world, has long been an inspiration for designers worldwide due to its rich Kashmiri craft and designs. This time, the valley was chosen as the backdrop for showcasing the collection. Varun Bahl titled the show "A Love Letter to Kashmir," and over 100 women from FICCI FLO - Hyderabad were specially flown in to attend the event in the Kashmir Valley.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The decision to choose Kashmir as a destination came naturally to me, as I am from the Kashmir Valley and was drawn back to my roots by a strong force. My family hails from Kashmir, and my father grew up here. My love for Kashmir stems from my childhood spent amidst its beautiful nature, on Dal Lake, and exploring every part of this heavenly valley. To honor my father's love for Kashmir, I am thrilled to have this opportunity to pay tribute to him through my designs," said Varun Bahl.</p>

<p>The show served as a testament to Varun's love for exotic flowers, poetry, and the romantic aura that the Kashmir Valley exudes. Varun referred to his designs as an ode to the valley, inspired by romantic love songs and the surrounding natural beauty.</p>

<p>Actress Huma Qureshi looked stunning in a Champagne Gold Bridal Lehenga, embellished with sequins, bugle beads, and dabka work, complemented by a veil. Her brother, Saqib Saleem, donned a classic black sherwani set embroidered with intricate black cutdana, paired with a solid black kurta and embellished trousers.</p>

<p>The show was specially curated for the businesswomen of FICCI FLO - Hyderabad, one of the oldest chapters representing over 1000 women from Telangana. FICCI FLO has been a longstanding source of inspiration in the realm of women's empowerment and socio-economic advancement for decades. These women were not only captivated by the beauty of the Kashmir Valley but also deeply impressed by Varun Bahl's designs.</p>

Varun Bahl's 'A Love Letter to Kashmir' show dazzles Srinagar, Huma Qureshi & Saqib Saleem in attendance

<p>Huma Qureshi comes from a family of foodies. Her father started his first restaurant Saleem's in 1977 and now there are various branches of Saleem's across Delhi. Though the brand is known for its meat, vegetarians too have a reason to visit Saleem's now. Inspired by Huma's upcoming film where she plays the role of popular chef, Tarla Dalal, Huma's father has introduced a new dish, Batata Musallam at Saleem's.<br />
<br />
Tarla was known for reimagining popular nonveg dishes as veg dishes because she was a vegetarian and she didn’t want other vegetarians to feel like they are missing out on anything. For example, she introduced Batata Musallam inspired by Murgh Musallam where the gravy was the same, however, she replaced Murgh with Batata (Potato).<br />

<p>And taking inspiration from this is none-other-than Huma Qureshi's father who has newly introduced Batata Musallam on the menu inspired by the late&nbsp;Tarla Dalal. The creation is a tribute to Tarla’s diverse culinary tapestry!<br />
<br />
So when Huma was in Delhi recently to promote her upcoming film,<em> Tarla</em>, she landed up at her father's restaurant with her co-star Sharib Hashmi to try her dad's version of Batata Musallam.<br />
<br />
Huma Qureshi said, "The journey of Tarla Dalal and Saleem's started back in the 70s. Today, 50 years later, looking at these two worlds come together makes my heart swell with pride. After watching the trailer, my dad decided to take inspiration from Tarla Ji and introduce her popular dish Batata Musallam at Saleem's. The power of food and how it brings communities together is one of the most beautiful things about India".<br />
<br />
<em>Tarla</em> is a slice-of-life film on India’s most iconic home chef&nbsp;Tarla Dalal, the first Indian woman to have her cookbook, her cookery show and the only Indian to have received Padma Shri for her work in the field of cooking. The film starring Huma Qureshi as Tarla will premiere on ZEE5 on July 7.</p>

<p>The trailer of Huma QureshI's upcoming biopic film <em>Tarla </em>was released. In the movie, she is essaying the role of popular chef and cookbook author Tarla Dalal. Taking to Instagram on Friday, the actress shared the trailer of the movie and wrote, ''It's here !!! Life mein kuch karne ki khaas recipe aap bhi.''</p>

<p>The movie will stream on ZEE5 from 7th July.</p>

<p>Directed by Piyush Gupta, the film is a biopic based on the life and career of the popular chef Tarla Dalal. Apart from Huma, the film also stars Sharib Hashmi in a pivotal role as Tarla’s husband and her support system.</p>

<p>The trailer introduces a young Tarla as someone who is ambitious and wants to do ‘something’ in her life but is unable to find her calling. With time she realises her love for cooking and goes from being an amateur cook to a professional one. Eventually, she opens her home cooking classes and then goes on to run her own television shows. The trailer also gives a glimpse of Tarla's life beyond food as it features her supportive husband and kids.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A moving tale about an ambitious but novice chef, who goes on to become a culinary expert and a television celebrity, <em>Tarla</em> is an out-and-out feel-good story. The film captures her many accomplishments as she was the first woman to have a cooking show, a cookbook, and is the only Indian to have won a Padma Shri for her contributions to the culinary arts. The film pays tribute to this extraordinary lady and celebrates her undying passion for finding her purpose, her unyielding love for food and her unfading enthusiasm for ‘kuch karna hai’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking about the movie and her role, Huma said, “Tarla is a moving and a feel-good film with a dash of emotions, a sprinkle of inspiration and a garnish of flavourful entertainment. Tarla Dalal’s ambitious nature and her relentless pursuit of purpose will surely inspire the audience who want to do something remarkable and pathbreaking in life. I have grown up watching her cookery show with my mother and recreating many dishes from her cookbook, so it is an honour for me to bring her inspiring journey to life. I have tried to embody her enthusiasm and her spirit with utmost sincerity, and I hope that I have succeeded in recreating her magical onscreen persona in <em>Tarla</em> the film”.</p>

<p>Co-written by Piyush Gupta and Gautam Ved, the movie also stars Bharati Achrekar, Amarjeet Singh, Rajeev Pandey, Purnendu Bhattacharya, and Veenah Naair.</p>

Tarla trailer: Huma Qureshi-starrer movie looks promising

<p>If you loved quintessential Bollywood masala films, you will love Vasan Bala's films. Bala's previous outing at the movie was a refreshing 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota' in the year 2018 which was also the most underrated film of the year. With heaps of references to the 80s VHS era, Bala had created an interesting parallel universe that was relatable yet unknown and fascinating. His latest, 'Monica, O' My Darling' is similar in that sense. It does have a lot of references to 1970s Bollywood thrillers but also is very contemporary in its treatment of the plot. You really don't know what you are getting into when you start watching the film but ultimately end up being engrossed in the whodunnit which is full of puns, pop cultural references and credible performances from its lead cast.<br />
<br />
The film opens with a murder in a factory which the company quickly labels as a machine error. The story soon shifts six months later when star Unicorp Limited Jayant Arkhedkar (Rajkumar Rao) is awarded a director's post in the company. He is a talented engineer raised in a small town who has risen up the ranks of the company due to his work and become a blue-eyed boy of the owner. It also helps that he is in a relationship with the owner's daughter( Akansha Ranjan Kapoor). Life seems perfect for him until Monica(Huma Qureshi) the secretary of the owner claims she is pregnant with Jayant's child. The two have been having a torrid affair on the side.<br />
<br />
Blackmail, revelations of illicit romances, and a murder later, Jayant finds himself in a sticky wicket. He has much to lose and it doesn't help that ACP Naidu (Radhika Apte) is suspicious of his every move.<br />
<br />
Written by Yogesh Chandekar, the screenplay is taught and full of twists and keeps you hooked. It helps that quirk is high and you find yourself smiling at the multiple references that Bala gives to pop culture and even Sriram Raghavan. The narrative is interspersed with quintessential 70s-style Bollywood music which just enhances the storytelling.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
There is a lot happening in the story and even though you know who the killer is, you end up enjoying the slow revelation. It's the sort of film, which never loses grip of the audience's attention but also doesn't rush through things- making each moment enjoyable. You devour into the plot well.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film's cast is equally good. Be it Rao who plays the ordinary man in an extraordinary situation or Huma Quereshi as the temptress Monica or Radhika Apte in a quirky role as ACP Naidu(she gets the best lines), the film's actors are in terrific form. Even actors Sukant Goel, Sikandar Kher, Akanksha Ranjan Kapoor, and Zayn Marie Khan stand out in their limited screen time. There is also actor Bagavathi Perumal who plays a crucial role in the plot and is a delight to watch.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
No Hindi whodunnit can be a success without credible music. Achint Thakkar elevates the plot with his credible music that gives a hat tip to RD Burman's genre of music.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'Monica, O My Darling' ticks most boxes of a good noir. You seldom find yourself enjoying and laughing watching a whodunnit even as it keeps you on the edge with its twists and turns.&nbsp;Bala's ode to Hindi films is a well-crafted film that does not disappoint.&nbsp;'Monica, O My Darling' is streaming on Netflix.&nbsp;</p>

You seldom find yourself enjoying and laughing watching a whodunnit even as it keeps you on the edge with its twists and turns. Bala's ode to Hindi films is a well-crafted film that does not disappoint. 'Monica, O My Darling' is streaming on Netflix.

Qureshi also spoke about the cover in&nbsp;the caption and shared what it means to her. Here's an excerpt from the mag:</p>

<p>"This Bazaar India cover is so powerful for me, and so strong, because it is not just about being sexy and beautiful, but also because it has not been portrayed through the male gaze.
