Recently, once again voicing out her opinion for the transgender community, Celina was seen slamming a troll that shamed the community. Celina Jaitly took to Twitter to respond to a troll that was aimed at the transgender community saying, “I'm reminded of this gender only at Traffic signals”. Giving it back to the user, Celina added, “What exactly is so funny about it sir ???? Is it NOT heartbreaking to see someone being reduced to begging just because they are transgender ??? This is exactly the reason why #TransVisibilityMatters because of people like you who find the dire reality of trans community funny!!” What exactly is so funny about it sir ????

They don't beg. They misbehave in public. And would you be ok if man did what these "special" gender people do at Traffic signals ?? under the pretext of begging? Maybe you would because of your poor upbringing,” said one of the users. However, not the one to take the comment lightly, the actress was more than happy to give it back to the troll adding, “Not worried at all about my upbringing I was brought up by 4 generations of Indian armed forces, the trans community was & still is mostly most deprived, dehumanised in our country, people like you make it difficult to fight their ostracisation & are responsible for their plight!” Not worried at all about my upbringing I was brought up by 4 generations of Indian armed forces, the trans community was & still is mostly most deprived, dehumanised in our country, people like you make it difficult to fight their ostracisation & are responsible for their plight! https://t.co/Va9UPG8VkU — Celina Jaitly (@CelinaJaitly) April 1, 2023 Also Read: Celina Jaitley denies involvement in Raj Kundra’s app, says got a proposal for JL stream (Jaldi Live) instead

Karan Johar promises to meet Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ daughter Malti in LA

For all those naysayers who have been gunning for Karan Johar as the culprit behind Priyanka Chopra’s ouster from Bollywood, here is some revisionary food for thought. Priyanka, along with her husband Nick Jonas, met Karan Johar at grand event hosted by the Ambanis. Here’s an eyewitness report of what transpired thereafter, “As soon as Priyanka spotted Karan, she rushed to hug him and then they chatted animatedly for a while. Karan teased her about the controversial podcast (in which Priyanka spoke about her expulsion from Bollywood without naming anyone) and Priyanka replied she had not mentioned anyone’s name. They promised to catch up in LA the next time he was there. Karan wants to meet Priyanka and Nick’s daughter Mati.” It is good that Priyanka Chopra has finally spoken about how she was bullied out of Bollywood. But to portray her as a victim is a laugh. Anyone who knows Priyanka even remotely—and I knew her very closely at one time—knows she is no walkover. Neither is she an abla naari who was driven out of the film industry, like Waheeda Rehman from her sasural in Neel Kamal. It doesn’t quite work out that way for Priyanka. It never has. It never will. If she was workless for the want of leading men, it was with reason that Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, etc. didn’t want to work with her. As for Karan Johar, PC and KJo (as they are fashionably known) are friends to this day. They meet socially, message one another and are aware of what is going on in one another’s life.

Apurva Agnihotri calls Bigg Boss ‘scripted’; says, “The channel knows who will react and how”

In a vlog that was shared by popular television couple Apurva Agnihotri and Shilpa Saklani, the couple opened up about their Bigg Boss journey. Along with that, they also answered certain questions that were asked to them by their viewers about the reality show being ‘scripted’. Readers would be aware that Shilpa and Apurva have been participants of the Colors reality show and were a part of the season 7 where they appeared as a couple. Confessing that they were adamant on not featuring on Bigg Boss as individual contestants, Shilpa Saklani clarified that they only gave a thought about appearing on it when they were approached to feature as a couple on Bigg Boss 7. Further explaining about the rumours of the show being scripted, Shilpa said, “Bigg Boss is not scripted but everyone is aware and knows that if I want to be the ‘THE’ person then what is needed to be done They have prerequisites – react karo, content do, fight, give your point of view, be assertive. If the personality is not like that, then what to do.” However, her husband Apurva Agnihotri disagreed with her, as he went on to continue on the subject, adding, “It is scripted. The channel knows who will react and how. And that’s why people have started predicting in recent seasons. And the makers, at the end, kind of forcefully have to turn tables and surprise all with the winner’s name.” Opening about the recent season and how fans predicted Priyanka Chahar Choudhary to be the winner, but how the channel made rapper MC Stan win the season, Apurva also spoke about these sudden twists.  Hinting at Priyanka being the face of Colors (Udaariyaan), Apurva said, “We saw it in the recent season too else everyone would have said, ‘She is the channel’s face, so she became the winner’. So, the show is scripted to a certain extent.” Also Read: Anupama actor Apurva Agnihotri and actress-wife Shilpa Saklani welcome their first child and it’s a girl!
