Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor starred in Animal, directed by Arjun Reddy fame Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film featured Rashmika Mandanna as the lead actress, along with Anil Kapoor, Tripti Dimri, Bobby Deol, and Shakti Kapoor in significant roles. Released on December 1 last year, Animal emerged as a blockbuster, creating a box office storm. However, it also attracted criticism, particularly for its violent content and alleged portrayal of women in a negative light. For the first time, Ranbir Kapoor has addressed these criticisms, and his comments have now gone viral online.



"It’s My Responsibility"



Speaking at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Ranbir Kapoor opened up about the criticism surrounding Animal. He stated that he completely agrees with the opinions expressed by critics. Ranbir emphasized that it’s their responsibility to bring films that resonate with the audience while also encouraging innovation in cinema. He remarked that for actors, taking on diverse roles is crucial for a successful career. Fans of the film have welcomed his comments, interpreting them as a strong counter to the film’s critics.

Did He Say the Right Thing?



While some appreciated Ranbir's stance, others were not entirely pleased. A section of netizens felt that agreeing with critics could be seen as supporting their negative opinions. They argued that Ranbir could have directly defended the film and emphasized that cinema should be viewed as an art form. Some fans even expressed disappointment that he didn’t use the opportunity to praise director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for delivering such a massive hit. Instead, they felt his remarks came across as non-committal.







An Eight-Day Film Extravaganza



The International Film Festival of India (IFFI) is currently being held in Panaji, Goa. The festival, which began on November 20, will continue until November 28. During his speech, Ranbir Kapoor announced a special initiative to celebrate Bollywood legends.

Ranbir Kapoor: I Agree with the Criticism on ‘Animal’

Among the actresses in Tollywood who have established a strong fan base, Nivetha Thomas stands out. Despite having acted in only a few films, she has attained a level of popularity that rivals that of leading heroines in Telugu cinema. Nivetha has primarily chosen roles that emphasize acting over bold characterizations, gaining significant recognition within the Tollywood audience. At the teaser launch event for her upcoming film '35,' Nivetha Thomas encountered an unexpected question, and her response is now going viral on social media.



What Happened?



Nivetha Thomas stars in the upcoming film '35,' which is set to be released soon. During the recent teaser launch event, a journalist questioned her about body shaming. The reporter asked, "The weight gain of artists like Anushka or yourself has gone viral on social media. There’s still a prevailing notion on social media that a heroine must be 'size zero'. What is your response to this?” Nivetha answered with a smile and a pointed reply, "I need to tell you this. Perhaps this 'viral' concept only affects you because I am not aware of it. My simple answer to your question is... '35' does not represent the weight of anyone here—no cast member, no technician." She also subtly warned to keep questions relevant to the film. The video of this exchange is currently going viral online.

Nivetha Thomas: A Reporter's Question on Weight Gain Met With a Strong Counter by Nivetha Thomas!


Samantha Ruth Prabhu is among the leading actresses in Tollywood. Even though she stays away from films due to health issues, she remains active on social media, regularly treating her fans with glamorous posts. Recently, a post about her using a nebulizer sparked controversy. Doctors criticized her post, leading to a flood of negative comments. One doctor's statement that Samantha should be jailed became particularly controversial, escalating the dispute as Samantha also responded with a strong counter. Let’s explore the reasons behind this controversy in this narrative.



Samantha’s Health Tip!



The renowned actress Samantha is currently undergoing treatment for myositis and regularly updates about her medical treatments on social media. Recently, she posted about nebulization. She recommended certain medications to be used in nebulization for viral infections, suggesting, "Mix hydrogen peroxide with distilled water for nebulization. It works wonderfully. Try this instead of unnecessary tablets." Samantha also tagged her friend, Dr. Basu Chillar, who suggested this treatment. This post quickly went viral on the internet.







Samantha Should Be Jailed: Doctor



Following Samantha's viral post, many doctors expressed their disapproval. They took to social media to criticize her health tips seriously. Dr. Abi Philips, known as 'TheLiverDoc,' was particularly vocal. He warned on his X account that following Samantha's advice could be fatal, labeling her as ignorant about health and science and accusing her of misleading the public. He demanded that she be jailed or fined for her actions. This post, too, quickly went viral on social media.




https://twitter.com/theliverdr/status/1808804909783159003




Samantha’s Strong Counter



In response to the doctor's warning that she should be jailed, actress Samantha gave a strong counter on Instagram with a lengthy post. "I am not naive enough to give advice without fully understanding a treatment. The treatment was recommended by a doctor with an MD degree who has served the DRDO for 5 years. It's unfortunate that a grown man attacked my post and intentions with such harsh words. It would have been better if he had discussed this with the doctor who treated me. I am not upset that he criticized me for needing to be jailed; perhaps it's easier to accuse me because I am a celebrity. However, I did not give that health tip as a celebrity but as a common person," wrote Samantha.

Samantha: Doctor Wants Samantha in Jail... Samantha Responds.!


Raj Tarun is a popular young actor in Tollywood. He initially rose to fame with his debut film 'Uyyala Jampala' and gained a considerable fan base with movies like 'Cinema Choopista Mava' and 'Kumari 21F'. However, his career later suffered due to a series of poor script choices, resulting in several flops. Recently, Raj Tarun's girlfriend leveled serious accusations against him, alleging deceit and officially filing a police complaint. In response, Raj Tarun issued a strong rebuttal, making this issue a hot topic in Tollywood.



Affair with Actress



A young woman named Lavanya filed a complaint against actor Raj Tarun at the Narsingi Police Station in Hyderabad, accusing him of infidelity. She claimed that since starting their relationship in 2012, Raj Tarun had grown close to another actress during the filming of 'Thiragabadara Saami'. According to Lavanya, their relationship persisted beyond that period, and Raj Tarun verbally abused her when she confronted him. She also mentioned that she was wrongfully detained for 43 days in a drug case that did not involve her. The Narsingi police have confirmed receipt of her complaint and are investigating. Rumors are circulating that the actress Raj Tarun allegedly became involved with Malvika Malhotra, who was the lead actress in 'Thiragabadara Saami'.

It's not true: Raj Tarun



Actor Raj Tarun addressed the accusations made by his ex-girlfriend Lavanya in an interview with a media channel. He explained, "I met her while I was involved in making short films. She was kind and offered me help when I first moved to Hyderabad. We were indeed in a relationship from 2014 to 2017, but after that, we ended our relationship. I had issues with her circle of friends and her drug use. She threatened to take her story to the media if I broke up with her, so I continued to support her to protect my reputation. Now, she is blaming me for her involvement in a drug case," he emphatically clarified.

She was with another guy in my own house'



Raj Tarun leveled serious allegations against his ex-girlfriend Lavanya, claiming that during their relationship, she was involved with another man. "She maintained a relationship with another guy who she sued him for assaulting her daily. After I moved out, she lived with him in my house for some time. She even blackmailed her own father. We were never married, and it's widely known in the industry that I have no plans to marry. She is aware of this as well. Despite living in Hyderabad while she lives in Mumbai, she accuses me of cohabiting with an actress from Mumbai. How is that possible? She's fabricating these stories because she fears I will evict her from the house," Raj Tarun stated.


I was in the same house with her for 3 years says Raj Tarun in response to affair allegations.
