Have you heard? Sonam Kapoor tweets, then deletes

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja

Sonam K Ahuja is the latest celebrity to raise her voice amid the Hijab row. Kapoor took to Instagram to share a picture of a man in a turban, and a woman in a hijab. The post aimed at questioning why a woman sporting a hijab couldn't be seen as her rightful choice when a man in a turban doesn't invite criticism for his choice. Kapoor, however, subsequently deleted the post after receiving immense backlash. Earlier, Kamal Haasan had also tweeted on the matter.

Tandon's daughter, Raveena Tandon, took to Instagram to share the news. She posted a few throwback pictures with her late father and wrote: "You will always walk with me. I will always be you. I'm never letting go. Love you papa."

A little bit of everything

With a bunch of successive releases, including Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, Looop Lapeta and Ranjish Hi Sahi, Tahir Raj Bhasin has earned the acclaim of fans and critics alike. "As an actor, one can only try to deliver the best possible performance and constantly improve one's acting skills. I'm going through a purple patch in my career, and I can only work harder to bolster my reputation as a performer."

Finally, Ranbir

Guns and poses!

Right from the onset of her career, Sanya Malhotra has worked towards showcasing her versatility with roles far distanced from one another. Her next, Love Hostel, sees her push the bar even further.
