<p>Priyanka Chopra Jonas wasn't impressed by Met Gala 2023 menu, which included chilled spring pea soup with baby vegetables, lemon crème fraîche, and truffle snow, followed by Ōra King salmon with asparagus, pickled strawberries, radish and&nbsp;vegetable nage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Candidly speaking about her Met Gala experience at Good Morning America on Thursday, she said, "There was no bread for dinner. I was so hungry after," before adding, "Maybe I have unrealistic expectations, but one roll of bread would be sufficient."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Seeing how PeeCee was left starving by the star-studded event's lacklustre meal, Nick, being the best husband that he is, ordered Pizza for his ladylove by the time they reached the hotel. "My husband ordered pizza by the time we got to the hotel, so we were fine," Priyanka said on the TV show.</p>

<p>"There goes my invite for next year," the Bollywood-turned-Hollywood actress quipped. "If you don't see me at the Met, you know why."</p>

<p>Some Twitter users also shared photos of dinner plates served at the Met Gala, with one calling it an "appetite suppressant". Considering the hefty entry fee for the event, many felt that the choice of food was quite basic.</p>

<p>Another social media user wrote. "Sweet raptor Jesus, this is the menu for the Met Gala tonight. Celebrities are starving themselves to death and paying through the nose for the privilege. What is this crime against food?"</p>

Priyanka Chopra left starving at Met Gala, Nick Jonas ordered pizza

<p>Looking like an angel straight from heaven, Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt made her grand Met Gala debut on Monday in a Prabal Gurung creation. As she was posing for the paps at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, something odd happened on the red carpet. A few Hollywood paps mistook her for another Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. A video of the same is currently going viral on social media.</p>

<p>Alia maintained her calm and composure and didn't bother to correct the paps. She kept smiling and posing graciously as paps shouted, "Look here, Aishwarya."</p>

<p>Check out the viral clip below!</p>

<p>Netizens had hilarious reactions to the viral Met Gala moment. Alia's fans from India compared the incident to Indian paps mispronouncing American celebrities' names during the NMACC event in Mumbai. A comment read, "I love the way Alia kept her calm and kept smiling. Hahaha. Didn't know this happens in America too."</p>

<p>Another user penned, "They are taking revenge for Jhandeya and Tommy" And, one wrote, "American paps taking their '<em>yeh shakira hai kya (is this Shakira)</em>' revenge"</p>

<p>For those unaware, paps at Mumbai's NMACC event mispronounced American celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Tom Holland and Zendaya's names and a video compilation of the same went viral online in March.</p>

<p>Alia arrived at the venue with fashion designer Prabal Gurung, wearing an&nbsp;ivory silk tulle and satin face organza exaggerated basque waist ball gown with 100,000 hand-beaded pearls from the 44-year-old Nepalese–American's collection.</p>

<p>Sharing his experience of collaborating with Alia, the designer wrote in an Instagram post, "It was my dearest friend Karan Johar’s 40th birthday in Mumbai, where I first met Alia. ⁠I had heard rave reviews about her through him and my brother Pravesh, who was assisting Karan in her debut film. I was immediately taken by her when I met her. A petite ingénue whose simmering fire within her was palpable to all of us. One film after another, she has surpassed anyone’s expectations and thrilled us with her creative genius. She’s a powerhouse performer. To me, she is one of the finest actors we have right now globally, but above all, she’s a friend, a good friend, and a loyal one; that’s what makes her extremely special.⁠"</p>

<p>Prabal&nbsp;added, "We’ve talked about a Met moment for a long time. I have invited her before, but she’s always been wise enough to say let’s wait. This time however, she felt it was the right moment, so she said yes and off we went to our wildest imaginations along with Anaita to create a homage to Karl that celebrated her heritage (100,000 pearls hand embroidered in Mumbai), my love for Karl (he is my master, and yes he did give me my CVFF award) and all made in New York. "</p>

<p>At the end of the post, he revealed that the extravagant gown was inspired by&nbsp;Claudia Schiffer's 1992 Chanel bridal look. ⁠</p>

Looking like an angel straight from heaven, Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt made her grand Met Gala debut on Monday in a Prabal Gurung creation. As she was posing for the paps at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, something odd happened on the red carpet. A few Hollywood paps mistook her for another Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. A video of the same is currently going viral on social media. Alia maintained her calm and composure and didn't bother to correct the paps. She kept smiling and posing graciously as paps shouted, "Look here, Aishwarya." Check out the viral clip below! Recently when #AishwaryaRai's video calling out #Aliabhatt's privilege went viral Alia fans were mocking Aishwarya for her acting skills, BO pull, etc ! Now we have nepo 🥔 being called Aishwarya on an international platform like #MetGala2023 🤣 #KatrinaKaif #DeepikaPadukone pic.twitter.com/wkB9h1cp8h — 𝙿𝚘𝙼 𝟸.𝟶 🌶️🌶️ (@Instajustice14) May 2, 2023 View this post on Instagram A post shared by beyoutyland (@beyoutyland) Netizens had hilarious reactions to the viral Met Gala moment. Alia's fans from India compared the incident to Indian paps mispronouncing American celebrities' names during the NMACC event in Mumbai. A comment read, "I love the way Alia kept her calm and kept smiling. Hahaha. Didn't know this happens in America too." Another user penned, "They are taking revenge for Jhandeya and Tommy" And, one wrote, "American paps taking their 'yeh shakira hai kya (is this Shakira)' revenge" For those unaware, paps at Mumbai's NMACC event mispronounced American celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Tom Holland and Zendaya's names and a video compilation of the same went viral online in March.

Alia arrived at the venue with fashion designer Prabal Gurung, wearing an ivory silk tulle and satin face organza exaggerated basque waist ball gown with 100,000 hand-beaded pearls from the 44-year-old Nepalese–American's collection. Sharing his experience of collaborating with Alia, the designer wrote in an Instagram post, "It was my dearest friend Karan Johar’s 40th birthday in Mumbai, where I first met Alia. ⁠I had heard rave reviews about her through him and my brother Pravesh, who was assisting Karan in her debut film. I was immediately taken by her when I met her. A petite ingénue whose simmering fire within her was palpable to all of us. One film after another, she has surpassed anyone’s expectations and thrilled us with her creative genius. She’s a powerhouse performer. To me, she is one of the finest actors we have right now globally, but above all, she’s a friend, a good friend, and a loyal one; that’s what makes her extremely special.⁠" Prabal added, "We’ve talked about a Met moment for a long time. I have invited her before, but she’s always been wise enough to say let’s wait. This time however, she felt it was the right moment, so she said yes and off we went to our wildest imaginations along with Anaita to create a homage to Karl that celebrated her heritage (100,000 pearls hand embroidered in Mumbai), my love for Karl (he is my master, and yes he did give me my CVFF award) and all made in New York. " At the end of the post, he revealed that the extravagant gown was inspired by Claudia Schiffer's 1992 Chanel bridal look. ⁠ WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

Hollywood paps mistake Alia Bhatt for Aishwarya Rai at Met Gala; netizens call it 'Tommy, Jhandeya' revenge

<p>Reports are rife that&nbsp;<em>The Kardashians</em> star Kylie Jenner was denied entry&nbsp;at hospitality guru Richie Akiva, Doja Cat and Diddy's Met Gala afterparty at&nbsp;NYC's lower east side nightclub The&nbsp;Box, but the truth is that she couldn't enter the venue because there was a lot of chaos at the entrance gate and&nbsp;since she "prematurely got out of her car", organisers were not prepared to escort her inside.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"They wouldn't let her in,"&nbsp;a witness told Page Six. "They shut the door down because it was over capacity."</p>

<p>However, another source told the publication that Kylie arrived at the venue after midnight to meet up with her sister Kendall Jenner and her rumoured beau Bad Bunny, who were already inside.&nbsp;But, she couldn't meet them since there were dozens of people clamouring to get to the entrance, causing a "chaotic scene".</p>

<p>"She prematurely got out of her car,"&nbsp;Page Six quoted the source as saying. "Then she decided to go home because she didn’t want to be at a crowded party. She rarely goes to clubs."</p>

<p>Janelle Monae and <em>Gossip Girl</em> star Evan Mock also had to be turned away due to capacity.&nbsp;The cops even showed up at one point and helped manage the crowds and keep the street clear.</p>

<p>The lucky ones who managed to enter the party were Gisele Bundchen, Emily Ratajkowski, Mary J. Blige, Lil Nas X, Paris Hilton, Robert Pattinson, Suki Waterhouse, FKA Twigs and Anna Wintour's daughter, Bee Carrozzini. Chris Rock allegedly had some fun on the dance floor, while Teyana Taylor gave a surprise performance.</p>

<p>Kylie Jenner is not a party person. She hardly goes to clubs with her BFFs and prefers staying home instead of gulping alcohol at bars. So, it doesn't come as a shock that she decided to leave the party instead of struggling to get through the crowd.</p>

Kylie Jenner denied entry at Met Gala afterparty? Here's the tea!

<p>Chilean-born American actor Pedro Pascal, 48, picked a red-black custom look by Valentino for fashion's biggest night out held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City every year. The custom designer ensemble was inspired by Valentino's Fall 2023 Black-tie collection.</p>

<p>Featuring a red oversized shirt, red double wool oversized coat with scarf, black wool shorts, and black silk faille tie with gold metal V, Pedro's outfit gave an edge to his Met Gala appearance. He paired it with black socks, gold rings and combat boots.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who attended the event with her husband Nick Jonas, incidentally picked the same look from the fall collection for the afterparties. The dress featured a thigh-high slit and a side-train. She completed the look with hoop earrings, classic black block heels, and an extravagant hairdo.</p>

Chilean-born American actor Pedro Pascal, 48, picked a red-black custom look by Valentino for fashion's biggest night out held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City every year.

Chilean-born American actor Pedro Pascal, 48, picked a red-black custom look by Valentino for fashion's biggest night out held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City every year. The custom designer ensemble was inspired by Valentino's Fall 2023 Black-tie collection. Featuring a red oversized shirt, red double wool oversized coat with scarf, black wool shorts, and black silk faille tie with gold metal V, Pedro's outfit gave an edge to his Met Gala appearance. He paired it with black socks, gold rings and combat boots. Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who attended the event with her husband Nick Jonas, incidentally picked the same look from the fall collection for the afterparties. The dress featured a thigh-high slit and a side-train. She completed the look with hoop earrings, classic black block heels, and an extravagant hairdo. Check out the photos below!

Met Gala Fashion Faceoff: Priyanka Chopra or Pedro Pascal, who styled Valentino's Fall 2023 look better?

<p>Global icon Priyanka Chopra and her singer-husband&nbsp;Nick Jonas, whose love story started at&nbsp;the 2017 Met Gala red carpet as they represented designer Ralph Lauren, returned to the&nbsp;steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the first Monday of May for the grand exhibit.&nbsp;They looked madly in love with each other as they walked together and posed for pictures in coordinated black-white ensembles from Valentino.</p>

<p>The <em>Citadel </em>actress donned a black strapless gown featuring a thigh-high slit along with an extravagant tufted cape attached to a pair of white opera gloves. To accessorise, she picked shiny black platform heels and diamond-studded jewellery, including a woven chain necklace with a blue crystal pendant.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the Jonas Brothers member looked dapper in a leather blazer, white shirt, black trousers, and a black tie held with a winding clip. Photos and videos of the couple from the 2023 Met Gala have gone viral on social media. Take a look!</p>

Global icon Priyanka Chopra and her singer-husband Nick Jonas, whose love story started at the 2017 Met Gala red carpet as they represented designer Ralph Lauren, returned to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the first Monday of May for the grand exhibit. They looked madly in love with each other as they walked together and posed for pictures in coordinated black-white ensembles from Valentino. The Citadel actress donned a black strapless gown featuring a thigh-high slit along with an extravagant tufted cape attached to a pair of white opera gloves. To accessorise, she picked shiny black platform heels and diamond-studded jewellery, including a woven chain necklace with a blue crystal pendant. Meanwhile, the Jonas Brothers member looked dapper in a leather blazer, white shirt, black trousers, and a black tie held with a winding clip. Photos and videos of the couple from the 2023 Met Gala have gone viral on social media. Take a look!

Twinning and winning! Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas don black Valentino ensembles for Met Gala 2023

<p>Supermodel and Karl Lagerfeld's showstopper Naomi Campbell dedicated her 2023 Met Gala look to the saree, also spelt as sari, which is a women's garment worn in the Indian subcontinent. Campbell, who was one of the most favoured models of the iconic German-born designer, picked a rare Chanel archival gown for her 16th appearance at the annual fashion gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The night was extra special for the 52-year-old because this year's Met Gala theme was "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty".&nbsp;</p>

<p>To pay homage to her recent collaboration with the Indian subcontinent, Campbell donned a salmon pink saree-inspired gown from Chanel's spring/summer 2010 couture collection. The ensemble featured&nbsp;a metallic blouse with silver embroidered trimmings creeping up the bodice. To accentuate the look, she opted for silver arm cuffs and matching earrings. For her hairdo, she picked her signature poker-straight hair and went for a dewy makeup look with metallic pink highlights.</p>

Met Gala 2023 highlights: Naomi Campbell dons rare saree-inspired archival Chanel gown

<p>A video of an Australian man&nbsp;performing a "worm" dance at the Prince's Trust Gala&nbsp;in New York last week went viral and also caught Rita Ora's attention, who was herself performing at the charity event. On TikTok, the singer launched a manhunt for the "worm" man, who became an internet sensation overnight. Addressing her 16 million followers on social media,&nbsp;she said that she needed "to find this man".&nbsp;</p>

<p>As usual, netizens were quick to point out that the man in the viral video was none other than South Australia's honorary UK consul and&nbsp;deputy chair of Prince's Trust Australia&nbsp;Ian Smith, who is married to former Democrat&nbsp;leader Natasha Stott Despoja.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The viral video shows the 57-year-old doing crazy moves on the dance floor, hurling himself onto the floor in front of the stage and performing the rippling move. He was&nbsp;surrounded by Hollywood A-listers like Kate Beckinsale, Sienna Miller and Kate Moss who recorded the moment on their phones.</p>

<p>Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and former foreign minister Julie Bishop, who "looked slightly startled", were also present at the event.</p>

<p>English singer and songwriter Amy&nbsp;Winehouse,&nbsp;known for her deep and expressive contralto vocals,&nbsp;died aged 27 in 2011 due to alcohol poisoning, leaving many of her fans deeply saddened and traumatised. It reminded the world how addiction can be the death of the greatest talents on earth. On a day when Winehouse would have turned 40 if her life hadn't taken a tragic turn, her book <em>Amy Winehouse: In Her Words</em> will be published by HarperCollins. And, according to the latest reports, never-before-seen journals, handwritten lyrics, and family photographs will be published in the book.</p>

<p>For the first time, the world will get a glimpse of Winehouse's innermost thoughts through the 288-page book, which will be published on August 29.</p>

<p>"Much has been said about Amy Winehouse since her tragic death aged just 27. But who was the real Amy? 'Amy Winehouse: In Her Words' shines a spotlight on her incredible writing talent, her wit, her charm and lust for life," an announcement read on&nbsp;Amy's Instagram account, which is now managed by her estate.</p>

<p>"Bringing together Amy's own never-before-seen journals, handwritten lyrics and family photographs together for the first time, this intimate tribute traces her creative evolution from growing up in North London to global superstardom, and provides a rare insight into the girl who became a legend."</p>

All the celebs spotted at 2023 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner

<p>Canadian actor Saint Von Colucci, who underwent over a dozen plastic surgeries to resemble popular K-pop star Jimin, breathed his last at a South Korean hospital on Sunday morning (April 23). Unfortunately, he suffered complications from the cosmetic procedures he had a few months ago. He was just 22 years old.</p>

<p>His publicist, Eric Blake, spoke to DailyMail on Monday and shared that he spent over $220,000 on 12 plastic surgeries so that he could play the K-pop star for a US streaming network. On Saturday night, he went into surgery to get the jaw implants removed that he got last&nbsp;November.</p>

<p>Following the operation, which he apparently knew was risky, the actor developed an infection and had to be intubated. He died hours later.</p>

<p>Blake further told the publication that Von Colucci moved to South Korea from Canada in 2019 to get into the music industry. He was working as a trainee for one of the three big South Korean Entertainment companies.</p>

<p>"It's very tragic and very unfortunate," says Blake, who started working with the young actor in March 2022. "He was very insecure about his looks. He had a very square jawline and chin and he didn't like the shape of it because he thought it was too wide and wanted a V-shape, the shape many Asians have."</p>

<p>Last year, he underwent major jaw surgery and according to the publicist, he knew about the risks.</p>

<p>Blake says it was really hard for the young actor to get assignments in South Korea and he often faced discrimination because of his looks. Under pressure, he decided to completely change his face and undergo risky surgeries.</p>

Canadian actor Saint Von Colucci, who underwent over a dozen plastic surgeries to resemble popular K-pop star Jimin, breathed his last at a South Korean hospital on Sunday morning (April 23).

Canadian actor Saint Von Colucci, who underwent over a dozen plastic surgeries to resemble popular K-pop star Jimin, breathed his last at a South Korean hospital on Sunday morning (April 23). Unfortunately, he suffered complications from the cosmetic procedures he had a few months ago. He was just 22 years old. His publicist, Eric Blake, spoke to DailyMail on Monday and shared that he spent over $220,000 on 12 plastic surgeries so that he could play the K-pop star for a US streaming network. On Saturday night, he went into surgery to get the jaw implants removed that he got last November. Following the operation, which he apparently knew was risky, the actor developed an infection and had to be intubated. He died hours later. Blake further told the publication that Von Colucci moved to South Korea from Canada in 2019 to get into the music industry. He was working as a trainee for one of the three big South Korean Entertainment companies.

"He was very insecure about his looks. He had a very square jawline and chin and he didn't like the shape of it because he thought it was too wide and wanted a V-shape, the shape many Asians have." Last year, he underwent major jaw surgery and according to the publicist, he knew about the risks. Blake says it was really hard for the young actor to get assignments in South Korea and he often faced discrimination because of his looks. Under pressure, he decided to completely change his face and undergo risky surgeries.

<p>Reports&nbsp;of Saint Von Colucci, a 22-year-old Canadian-Portuguese actor working in South Korea's entertainment industry, dying after facing complications from plastic surgeries went viral last week. If a fact check by Al Jazeera is to be believed, the news was fake.</p>

<p>The actor actually never existed, according to the latest reports. He was only a figment of someone's imagination. And, Artificial Intelligence was reportedly used to bring the character to life.</p>

<p>This is among the&nbsp;first known cases of AI being used to trick people and media to spread misinformation, heralding the dawn of a new era of AI-generated fake news, according to Al Jazeera. Newly found evidence shows that the story was just an elaborate hoax, the channel said in a report.</p>

<p><strong>How did it all start?</strong></p>

<p>It all started when a PR agency called HYPE Public Relations shared a press release with journalists around the globe and announced the passing away of Von Colucci. The poorly-written press release was full of red flags and unfortunately, dozens of media outlets couldn't pick on them.</p>

<p>Daily Mail Online was the first media house to report the story. It was quickly picked up by other media outlets worldwide. The publication took down its article on Wednesday without posting any&nbsp;retraction notice on its site.</p>

<p>Wionews.com had carried a report based on the Daily Mail story, and has now removed the article.</p>

<p><strong>How did it come to light?</strong></p>

<p>Al Jazeera reported that several web links in the document don't exist. And, Von Colucci's supposed Instagram account was also not operational. The hospital mentioned in the press release couldn't be found either.</p>

<p>Coming to the PR agency that started the whole drama, it seems that HYPE's website was registered only a few weeks before Von Colucci's reported death and is still incomplete. Meanwhile, nobody answered the phone numbers mentioned on the site when Al Jazeera tried to contact them, said the report.</p>

<p>Apart from the press release, there is little to no evidence that Von Colucci is a real person. He has no online footprint and nobody from his family has come forward to mourn his death. The pictures that are available online are pixelated and don't look real.</p>

AI hoax? 'Death of Canadian who got plastic surgery to look like BTS' Jimin' was fake news: Report

<p>Bollywood superstar Salman Khan says he will never speak about his past relationships publically. He also shared that&nbsp;he has been "unlucky in love" and doesn't wish to clean his dirty linen in public. When asked whether he intends to write an autobiography on his love affairs, he replied, "My love stories will go with me to the grave."</p>

<p>Speaking to Rajat Sharma on&nbsp;Aap ki Adalat about his love life, the actor revealed his marriage plans, which have been a hot topic among his fans for decades. He said, "When somebody will come, it will happen. All my previous girlfriends were good, the fault lies in me. When the first one left, it could have been her fault, when the second one and then the third one left, there could be faults with them, but with the fourth one, doubt creeps in whether the fault lies with them or me."</p>

<p>"In the fifth case, it could have been 60:40. But when more was left, it was then confirmed that it was my fault. None of them had any fault. It is only my fault. Probably a kind of fear in their mind that I may not be able to give them happiness in life. I am sure they are all happy wherever they are," Salman added.</p>

<p>Then the host quipped again, "The whole world wants to know when you will marry." To which, Salman replied, "When God Almighty wills so. Two individuals are needed for marriage. In the first case, the marriage did not happen because she said 'no'. Now, when somebody asks, I say 'no'. Now there is 'no' from both sides. When both sides say 'yes', the marriage will take place. There's still time. I am 57. I want this time to be the first and last. I just want one wife for life."</p>

<p>When asked how many kids he wants to have, he said, "As many as possible. Many. If I have one, and another after 5-6 years, I can play with them for 20-25 years. This is called dedication, consistency, and persistence."</p>

Salman Khan: 'My love stories will go with me to the grave'

<p>Bollywood's Bhaijaan Salman Khan has received not one or two but several death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang over the last few months. As a result, Mumbai Police provided&nbsp;Y+ category security to the&nbsp;<em>Tiger Zinda Hai</em> actor and he also purchased a bulletproof SUV for himself.&nbsp;Recently, in an interview, the actor revealed how his life has changed since he started getting death threats from gangsters and what he is doing to deal with it.</p>

<p>Speaking at India TV channel's show <em>Aap ki Adalat</em>, Salman said, "Security is better than insecurity. Yes, security is there. Now, it is not possible to ride a bicycle on the road and go alone anywhere. And more than that, now I have this problem that when I am in traffic, then there is so much security, vehicles creating inconvenience to other people. They also give me a look. And my poor fans. There is a serious threat that's why there is security."</p>

<p>He added, "I am doing whatever I have been told. There is a dialogue <em>Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan</em>&nbsp;'They have to be lucky 100 times, I have to be lucky once'. So, I got to be very careful."</p>

<p>The actor continued, "I am going everywhere with full security. I know whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what you do. I believe that (points towards god) that he is there. But, still it&nbsp;is not that I will start roaming freely, it is not like that. Now there are so many Sheras (Salman Khan's bodyguards) around me, so many guns are going around with me that I am myself scared sometimes these days."</p>

<p>A few days ago, a minor was arrested by Mumbai Police for allegedly threatening to kill Salman over a phone call. Mumbai Police said that a threat call was made to the Mumbai Police control room on April 10. The caller, who identified himself as Rockey Bhai from Jodhpur in Rajasthan, said he was a Gau Rakshak (cow vigilante). The caller threatened to "eliminate" Salman Khan on April 30.</p>

<p>"As of now, we don't think the call should be taken seriously. But we are probing why the minor behaved in such a way," an officer told media.</p>

<p>On March 26, one person identified as Dhakad Ram, a resident of Luni in Rajasthan's Jodhpur district, was arrested for sending a threat mail to Salman. He was apprehended and taken into custody. A case was registered at Bandra police station. The accused, in his mail, alleged that the superstar will meet the same fate as slain Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.</p>

<p>"A case has been registered at Bandra police station with regard to emailed threats to kill Salman Khan. In a joint operation, Mumbai Police and Luni police teams caught the accused, Dhakad Ram, a resident of Luni in Jodhpur district," Ishwar Chand Pareek, an officer at Luni police station of Jodhpur, previously told ANI.</p>

There is a dialogue Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan 'They have to be lucky 100 times, I have to be lucky once'. So, I got to be very careful." The actor continued, "I am going everywhere with full security. I know whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what you do. I believe that (points towards god) that he is there. But, still it is not that I will start roaming freely, it is not like that. Now there are so many Sheras (Salman Khan's bodyguards) around me, so many guns are going around with me that I am myself scared sometimes these days." Also read: DiCaprio and Scorsese talk 'Killers' as Rihanna hits CinemaCon A few days ago, a minor was arrested by Mumbai Police for allegedly threatening to kill Salman over a phone call. Mumbai Police said that a threat call was made to the Mumbai Police control room on April 10. The caller, who identified himself as Rockey Bhai from Jodhpur in Rajasthan, said he was a Gau Rakshak (cow vigilante). The caller threatened to "eliminate" Salman Khan on April 30. "As of now, we don't think the call should be taken seriously. But we are probing why the minor behaved in such a way," an officer told media. On March 26, one person identified as Dhakad Ram, a resident of Luni in Rajasthan's Jodhpur district, was arrested for sending a threat mail to Salman. He was apprehended and taken into custody. A case was registered at Bandra police station. The accused, in his mail, alleged that the superstar will meet the same fate as slain Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. "A case has been registered at Bandra police station with regard to emailed threats to kill Salman Khan. In a joint operation, Mumbai Police and Luni police teams caught the accused, Dhakad Ram, a resident of Luni in Jodhpur district," Ishwar Chand Pareek, an officer at Luni police station of Jodhpur, previously told ANI.

Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright is pregnant! Actress expecting first baby with husband Andrew Lococo

<p class="MsoNormal">Entrepreneurship comes almost as second nature to an artist and Indian rapper King is the latest example of the same. He is launching his first brand, Blanko, in collaboration with House of X, which is the brainchild of popular Indian YouTuber &amp; entrepreneur Raj Shamani. Speaking exclusively to WION, the two&nbsp;shared how they got started on the project, what inspired them to collaborate and some tips that can help many build D2C brands from scratch or improve their finances.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Your collaboration with Nick Jonas for <em>Maan Meri Jaan (Afterlife)</em>&nbsp;was quite unexpected for your fans.&nbsp;How did it happen, could you elaborate on that?</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">King: I was touring last year and Jay Mehta called me, he is the managing director of Warner Music Group, and he told me that Nick wants to do a track with you, a global version of "Maan Meri Jaan". So, my reaction was, "Ya, let's do it." I have been a fan of Nick since many many years. It was a dream collab for me and everybody is happy now.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>What’s next for you? Do you want to tease some upcoming projects?</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">King:&nbsp;I don't believe in teasing, I just drop the bomb when people least expect it. But, ya I am working on an album and then of course, Blanko.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/katy-perry-loses-trademark-battle-against-australian-fashion-designer-katie-taylor-587251">Katy Perry loses trademark battle against Australian fashion designer Katie Taylor</a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Coming to Blanko and your collaboration with Raj Shamani’s House of X.&nbsp;Spill the tea!</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">King:&nbsp;For the longest time, people didn't know what Blanko really is and I was just waiting for the launch to reveal everything. And at the backend, we spent a lot of time preparing for the launch, we wanted it to be perfect since it's my first brand.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Raj:&nbsp;I want to drop in and say that King is being super modest here. His fans are crazy. I will tell you a back story, there're already some fan pages on Blanko and him where people have their own theories of what Blanko&nbsp;can be. People have gone to the extent where they've researched when Blanko was registered and which company has its trademark and it's just wild. On his channel, he just said that he is doing something beyond music, nothing else, but fans have their own conspiracy theories about what's brewing.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Raj, you did a podcast with King and now you’re working on this brand, whose idea was it, and how did it all start?</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It started on the podcast, just randomly, King told me that he wants to give this larger-than-life King feel to his fans and that he wants to create something that will make his fans feel nothing less than a king. Then House of X was&nbsp;brewing in my head already, and King wanted to do something beyond music. So, Blanko and House of X, it was just a match made in heaven.&nbsp;People often ask me, why I choose King, for House of X's first collab, and this I have never said before, but I will tell you honestly, I am a fan first, brother second and partner third. And, you never know, maybe I am running one of his fan pages. So, this was an opportunity I could not miss at any cost.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/opinions-blogs/ai-may-be-a-threat-but-record-companies-are-the-real-mafia-will-ai-democratise-music-industry-587340">AI may be a threat but record companies are the real mafia. Will AI democratise music industry?</a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>And&nbsp;Raj, you recently tweeted that, in a few years from now, everyone will be a content creator either by choice or by force, could you elaborate on what you really meant by that?</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have been saying this since 2015. Everyone will be a content creator in a few years from now, either by choice or by force, and that every company will be a media company, either by choice or force. I have been saying this because I believe in this. Because I feel in future, everything will be sold on the basis of discovery, and you can't be discovered by the masses unless you create compelling content.&nbsp;You'll have to present something to the world so that they can discover you. It's going to happen with doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and even if you are an employee, you will have to create content to be able to do better in life. And, it's already happening. Everyone who makes content, they have an edge. Just look at King, he is able to achieve this much in just a short span because he has an online community that supports him. He celebrates even the tiniest win with his fans and that's why he gets so much love online. So, yes the idea of House of X came much later but I believe in this content creator thing for quite some time now.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>King, in Figuring Out,&nbsp;you said that you believe in having a passive income, could you elaborate? And, what advice do you wish to give to your fans as an entrepreneur​​​​?</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">First and foremost, a person should differentiate between his basic needs and luxury. The problem with our society is, everybody wants to look pro, everybody wants to flex, but nobody has a basic understanding of how to manage their finances. People buy luxury cars but they don't even have money for petrol, this is where most people fail. People today don't even look for their individuality first, they just look for status. So, I believe when someone's core is strong, the bigger he will grow and succeed. Once you're done paying your house rent and other monthly bills, you must focus on personal savings. And, even if you like having cars, watches or other luxury items, that's fine, buy them. But if you can get something at Rs 5, why spend Rs 10 on it? This will help you stay clear of instalments, EMIs and debt.&nbsp;I know so many people, who have the latest car and the latest iPhone, but on instalments. So what's the use of it? People today feel outdated because of the phone they use or the car they drive. That shouldn't be the case. They should focus on better things in life.&nbsp;And, invest in places, where you know you will get returns, be it in a few days, months or years. And, the best thing is to invest in ideas.

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Raj, what do you have to say to content creators, or people in general, who wish to create D2C brands?</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">House of X comes with a very simple preposition - it takes a lot to build a community, and a lot of effort, money and time goes into the process of growing that community. And, whenever as a creator you want to give back to that community, in the shape of a product, House of X will ensure that you don't have to spend much time or resources doing the same. To build a D2C brand, you've to take care of sourcing, manufacturing, warehousing, shipping, payment gateways, customer service and a lot more. So, House of X handles all of these things, so that creators can just focus on what they do best and that is creating content. And, we take care of the rest.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Starting his music journey at a very early age, King has amassed a massive following with popular tracks like "Tu Aake Dekhle" and "Maan Meri Jaan" to name a few. His ability to narrate everyday tales of human lives in the most simple yet interesting way has made him a fan favourite. Blanko, meanwhile,&nbsp;stands for "Blank Out the World", as it urges its audience to drown the hullabaloo of society, and listen to the voice that matters the most to them; their unique confident selves.&nbsp;<br />

Entrepreneurship comes almost as second nature to an artist and Indian rapper King is the latest example of the same. He is launching his first brand, Blanko, in collaboration with House of X, which is the brainchild of popular Indian YouTuber & entrepreneur Raj Shamani.

Entrepreneurship comes almost as second nature to an artist and Indian rapper King is the latest example of the same. He is launching his first brand, Blanko, in collaboration with House of X, which is the brainchild of popular Indian YouTuber & entrepreneur Raj Shamani. Speaking exclusively to WION, the two shared how they got started on the project, what inspired them to collaborate and some tips that can help many build D2C brands from scratch or improve their finances. Your collaboration with Nick Jonas for Maan Meri Jaan (Afterlife) was quite unexpected for your fans. How did it happen, could you elaborate on that? King: I was touring last year and Jay Mehta called me, he is the managing director of Warner Music Group, and he told me that Nick wants to do a track with you, a global version of "Maan Meri Jaan". So, my reaction was, "Ya, let's do it." I have been a fan of Nick since many many years. It was a dream collab for me and everybody is happy now. What’s next for you? Do you want to tease some upcoming projects? King: I don't believe in teasing, I just drop the bomb when people least expect it. But, ya I am working on an album and then of course, Blanko. Also read: Katy Perry loses trademark battle against Australian fashion designer Katie Taylor Coming to Blanko and your collaboration with Raj Shamani’s House of X. Spill the tea! King: For the longest time, people didn't know what Blanko really is and I was just waiting for the launch to reveal everything. And at the backend, we spent a lot of time preparing for the launch, we wanted it to be perfect since it's my first brand. Raj: I want to drop in and say that King is being super modest here. His fans are crazy. I will tell you a back story, there're already some fan pages on Blanko and him where people have their own theories of what Blanko can be. People have gone to the extent where they've researched when Blanko was registered and which company has its trademark and it's just wild. On his channel, he just said that he is doing something beyond music, nothing else, but fans have their own conspiracy theories about what's brewing. Raj, you did a podcast with King and now you’re working on this brand, whose idea was it, and how did it all start? It started on the podcast, just randomly, King told me that he wants to give this larger-than-life King feel to his fans and that he wants to create something that will make his fans feel nothing less than a king. Then House of X was brewing in my head already, and King wanted to do something beyond music. So, Blanko and House of X, it was just a match made in heaven. People often ask me, why I choose King, for House of X's first collab, and this I have never said before, but I will tell you honestly, I am a fan first, brother second and partner third. And, you never know, maybe I am running one of his fan pages. So, this was an opportunity I could not miss at any cost. Also read: AI may be a threat but record companies are the real mafia. Will AI democratise music industry? And Raj, you recently tweeted that, in a few years from now, everyone will be a content creator either by choice or by force, could you elaborate on what you really meant by that? I have been saying this since 2015. Everyone will be a content creator in a few years from now, either by choice or by force, and that every company will be a media company, either by choice or force. I have been saying this because I believe in this. Because I feel in future, everything will be sold on the basis of discovery, and you can't be discovered by the masses unless you create compelling content. You'll have to present something to the world so that they can discover you. It's going to happen with doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and even if you are an employee, you will have to create content to be able to do better in life. And, it's already happening. Everyone who makes content, they have an edge. Just look at King, he is able to achieve this much in just a short span because he has an online community that supports him. He celebrates even the tiniest win with his fans and that's why he gets so much love online. So, yes the idea of House of X came much later but I believe in this content creator thing for quite some time now. King, in Figuring Out, you said that you believe in having a passive income, could you elaborate? And, what advice do you wish to give to your fans as an entrepreneur? First and foremost, a person should differentiate between his basic needs and luxury. The problem with our society is, everybody wants to look pro, everybody wants to flex, but nobody has a basic understanding of how to manage their finances. People buy luxury cars but they don't even have money for petrol, this is where most people fail. People today don't even look for their individuality first, they just look for status. So, I believe when someone's core is strong, the bigger he will grow and succeed. Once you're done paying your house rent and other monthly bills, you must focus on personal savings. And, even if you like having cars, watches or other luxury items, that's fine, buy them. But if you can get something at Rs 5, why spend Rs 10 on it? This will help you stay clear of instalments, EMIs and debt. I know so many people, who have the latest car and the latest iPhone, but on instalments. So what's the use of it? People today feel outdated because of the phone they use or the car they drive. That shouldn't be the case. They should focus on better things in life. And, invest in places, where you know you will get returns, be it in a few days, months or years. And, the best thing is to invest in ideas. You never know when it will become the next big thing in the market.

<p>Almost a decade after Jiah Khan was found hanging in her Mumbai flat, a special CBI court is expected to deliver its verdict in the much-talked-about sensational case. Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi, who was allegedly in a relationship with Jiah, was booked under section 306 (abetment to suicide) and arrested by Mumbai police after a letter was seized from the apartment on June 10.</p>

<p>Jiah's mother Rabia Khan also alleged in several interviews that her daughter was murdered and that she was in an abusive relationship with Sooraj.&nbsp;Subsequently, the case was handed over to the CBI after repeated pleas by Rabia and directives of the Bombay High Court on 3 July 2014.</p>

<p>In the&nbsp;letter, Jiah narrated her ordeal and accused Sooraj of mental and physical torture. They reportedly started&nbsp;dating in September 2012.</p>

<p>"These days I see no light I wake up not wanting to wake up. There was a time I saw my life with you, a future with you. But you shattered my dreams. I feel dead inside. I've never given so much of myself to someone or cared so much. You returned my love with cheating and lies. It didn't matter how many gifts I gave you or how beautiful I looked for you. I was scared of getting pregnant but I gave myself completely the pain you have caused me every day has destroyed every bit of me, destroyed my soul. I can't eat or sleep or think or function.

Jiah Khan death case: CBI court likely to pronounce verdict today

<p>Hollywood actress Eva Green has won her London court case against White Lantern Films and SMC Speciality Finance over a million-dollar fee for an abandoned sci-fi film <em>A Patriot</em>. The 42-year-old sued the companies in October 2019.</p>

<p>Green wanted the production house to pay her the fee promised in a contract, despite the shelving&nbsp;of the movie. To retaliate, the production company filed a&nbsp;counter-claim against the actress, alleging she pulled out of the making of the film and breached her contract.</p>

<p>In a judgment given&nbsp;on Friday, Justice Michael Green ruled in&nbsp;Green's favour and said that she was entitled to the fee, dismissing the counter-claim.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reacting to the judgment, the actress said that she had been "forced to stand up to a small group of men, funded by deep financial resources, who tried to use me as a scapegoat to cover up their own mistakes".</p>

<p>She added, "I am proud that I stood up against their bully-boy tactics. A few people in the press were only too delighted to reprint these lies without proper reporting. There are few things the media enjoys more than tearing a woman to pieces. It felt like being set upon by hounds; I found myself misrepresented, quoted out of context, and my desire to make the best possible film was made to look like female hysteria. It was cruel and it was untrue."</p>

<p>Max Mallin KC, for White Lantern and SMC, said during the trial that Green showed a "categorical and unequivocal refusal to perform". However,&nbsp;Justice Michael Green said that he&nbsp;does not believe that any of the defendants’ witnesses truly considered that Green had withdrawn her services from the film and renounced the artist agreement.</p>

<p>The judge added that the allegation against Green "has the feel of being constructed after the event in order to be able to mount some sort of defence to the claim brought by Ms Green", adding it was "based on false evidence"&nbsp;from witnesses.</p>

<p>The judge added, "There is no doubt that Green did not make any conclusive decision or statement that she would not comply with her obligations under the artist agreement. Nor could anyone have reasonably understood her to have made such a decision."</p>

In a judgment given on Friday, Justice Michael Green ruled in Green's favour and said that she was entitled to the fee, dismissing the counter-claim. Reacting to the judgment, the actress said that she had been "forced to stand up to a small group of men, funded by deep financial resources, who tried to use me as a scapegoat to cover up their own mistakes". She added, "I am proud that I stood up against their bully-boy tactics. A few people in the press were only too delighted to reprint these lies without proper reporting. There are few things the media enjoys more than tearing a woman to pieces. It felt like being set upon by hounds; I found myself misrepresented, quoted out of context, and my desire to make the best possible film was made to look like female hysteria. It was cruel and it was untrue." Also read: 'Truth always wins': Sooraj Pancholi celebrates after acquittal in Jiah Khan case Max Mallin KC, for White Lantern and SMC, said during the trial that Green showed a "categorical and unequivocal refusal to perform". However, Justice Michael Green said that he does not believe that any of the defendants’ witnesses truly considered that Green had withdrawn her services from the film and renounced the artist agreement. The judge added that the allegation against Green "has the feel of being constructed after the event in order to be able to mount some sort of defence to the claim brought by Ms Green", adding it was "based on false evidence" from witnesses. The judge added, "There is no doubt that Green did not make any conclusive decision or statement that she would not comply with her obligations under the artist agreement. Nor could anyone have reasonably understood her to have made such a decision."

<p>TV host and comedian James Corden delivered a powerful message in his&nbsp;farewell speech on the finale episode of CBS' <em>The Late Late Show</em>.&nbsp;He&nbsp;reminded his fans&nbsp;of "what America signifies to the rest of the world". Addressing the deep rift people in the country have over&nbsp;politics, he encouraged people to look above and beyond the differences and live in harmony.</p>

<p>"We started this show with Obama, then Trump and a global pandemic. I’ve watched America change a lot. I’ve watched divisions grow and I’ve felt a sense of negativity boil over," Corden said. "Remember what America signifies to the rest of the world. My entire life it has always been a place of optimism. ... Yes, it has flaws but show me a place that doesn’t. Show me a person that doesn’t."</p>

<p>"Just because somebody disagrees with you it doesn’t make them bad or evil. We are all more the same than we are different. There are so many people who are trying to stoke those differences and we have to try as best we can to look for the light, look for the joy. If you do, it’s out there. That’s all this show has ever been about,"&nbsp;he added.</p>

<p>Harry Styles and Will Ferrell were the last guests on <em>The Late Late Show</em>. Styles, who has guest-hosted the show twice, told Corden, "As a friend, I’m so incredibly proud of you."</p>

<p>"On a personal note, you’ve been a safe space to me always as a friend," he added. "Selfishly very excited that you’re coming home."&nbsp;</p>

<p>There were also goodbyes from the other late night hosts. Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert and David Letterman all appeared in a pre-taped segment with Corden. They joked that since Corden was ending his show, they could each call dibs on one of his segments.</p>

<p>They all chose Carpool Karaoke, referencing Corden’s most popular sketch where he drives around Los Angeles with celebrities and sing songs. Paul McCartney, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder and Chris Martin are a few of his Carpool Karaoke passengers. The segment was such a hit that it spun off into its own series for Apple. Corden only appeared in the debut episode with Will Smith in the car.</p>

<p>Corden closed out the night by playing the piano and singing a song with the crew and staff gathered around the stage.</p>

<p>"Part of me thinks I should stay here forever but deep in my heart I just know,"&nbsp;Corden sang. "No more shows to be showing, it’s time I was going, It’s time. Thanks for watching, that’s our show."</p>

<p>Last year, Corden announced that his show will run for just eight seasons. He cited a desire to return to his hometown to be closer to family and loved ones.&nbsp;</p>

James Corden addresses 'divided America' on The Late Late Show's final episode

<p>On Friday, the special CBI court acquitted Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi, who had been charged with abetting actress Jiah Khan's suicide.&nbsp;The <em>Ghajini </em>actress was found dead at her Juhu home on 3 June 2013. Sooraj was facing a charge under section 306 (abetment of suicide) of the Indian Penal Code because of a letter seized from the actress' apartment on June 10.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the&nbsp;letter, Jiah allegedly narrated her ordeal and accused Sooraj of mental and physical torture. They reportedly started&nbsp;dating in September 2012.</p>

<p>"These days I see no light I wake up not wanting to wake up. There was a time I saw my life with you, a future with you. But you shattered my dreams. I feel dead inside. I've never given so much of myself to someone or cared so much. You returned my love with cheating and lies. It didn't matter how many gifts I gave you or how beautiful I looked for you. I was scared of getting pregnant but I gave myself completely the pain you have caused me every day has destroyed every bit of me, destroyed my soul. I can't eat or sleep or think or function. I am running away from everything. The career is not even worth it anymore," read the letter purportedly written by Jiah.</p>

<p>Earlier today, Sooraj was seen entering the court to hear the verdict with her mother Zarina Wahab. The verdict came out at noon.</p>

<p>"Due to paucity of evidence, this court can't hold you (Sooraj Pancholi) guilty, hence acquitted,"&nbsp;said judge AS Sayyed of the special CBI court in Mumbai.</p>

<p>On July 1, 2013, Sooraj was granted bail after he signed a&nbsp;Rs 50,000 bond. On July 2, the court acquitted him&nbsp;and said that&nbsp;he was not accountable for the actress' suicide.

<p>Amitabh Bachchan, who is an active Twitter user, gave a funny twist to his hit '90s song "Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast"&nbsp;from <em>Mohra&nbsp;</em>and wrote, "Hey Musk bro! Thank you very, very much for reinstating the blue tick in front of my name. I feel like singing. Will you listen? So, listen. 'Tu cheez Musk Musk, tu cheez badi hai, Musk'."</p>
