New Delhi, June 18 (Ians) Former wrestler and Bjp leader Babita Phogat has refuted the claims of Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik and her grappler husband Satyawart Kadian of helping them in getting permission from the police for the protest against accused outgoing Wrestling Federation of India (Wfi) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and called them the puppets of the Congress party.
In a video posted on Sakshi Malik twitter handle, the Olympic medallist and her husband on Saturday insisted that the wrestlers’ protest was not politically motivated, adding that Babita and another Bjp leader Teerath Rana had helped them in getting permission at Jantar Mantar.
“Let me make it clear that our protest is not politically-motivated. We came (to Jantar Mantar) in January, and permission was taken by two Bjp leaders seeking police permission,” Kadian said and asked Sakshi to show the letter, seeking permission for protest, in the video.
“This (protest) is not Congress supported.

New Delhi, April 29 (Ians) A new slugfest is developing on the sidelines of the ongoing clash between the top Indian wrestlers and Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, President of the Wrestling Federation of India (Wfi).
This battle pits two sisters – Asian and Commonwealth Games medallist Vinesh Phogat, who is spearheading the wrestlers’ protest against the alleged sexual harassment of wrestlers by the Wfi president, and Babita Phogat, her sister and fellow Cwg medallist.
Both sisters fired salvos at each other, advising each other via tweets.
Babita, who was, on demand by the protesting wrestlers, made part of the Mc Mary Kom-led Oversight Committee that inquired into the Wfi affairs, fired the first salvo tweeting against the protesting wrestlers for allowing representatives of political parties to join their protest.

New Delhi, April 29 (Ians) Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday visited the wrestlers protesting against Wrestling Federation of India (Wfi) chief & Bjp MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh at the Jantar Mantar here.
The top Indian wrestlers have been protesting since Sunday, demanding the removal and criminal action against Brij Bhushan over alleged sexual exploitation and harassment as president of the Wfi.
Priyanka Gandhi accused the Centre of “protecting” the outgoing Wfi chief.
Speaking to reporters, the Congress leader said, “when these girls win medals, everyone tweets, say they are our country’s pride but now when they are sitting on the road and seeking to be heard, saying they have been wronged, no one is ready to listen to them. If FIRs have been filed, their copy should be shared with them.”

B-town celebrities including Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Alia Bhatt and politicians like Cm Yogi Adityanath, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, and cricketers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma among others have lost their verified blue ticks from their Twitter accounts.
Earlier in March, Twitter posted from their official handle, “On April 1st, we will begin winding down our legacy verified program and removing legacy verified checkmarks. To keep your blue checkmark on Twitter, individuals can sign up for Twitter Blue.
Twitter first introduced the blue check mark system in 2009 to help users identify that celebrities, politicians, companies and brands, news organizations and other accounts “of public interest” were genuine and not impostors or parody accounts. The company didn’t previously charge for verification.

Actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood has explained why he refused to take a plunge into politics despite getting offers from political parties. Sood said, “if you can listen to allegations you can survive. If you are filled with emotions, I don’t think, you can survive (in politics).”
Sonu Sood was replying to questions from Rajat Sharma in India TV’s show ‘Aap Ki Adalat’, slated to be telecast tonight at 10 pm on the channel.
When Rajat Sharma pointed out, “Even Amitabh Bachchan entered politics, but after a few years, he quit, saying politics is a ‘cesspool'”, Sonu Sood replied, “The little experience that I have gained till now, shows, people do raise fingers at you. If you enter politics, you must keep your back strong. People can pat your back, and can also stab you in the back. If you can listen to people’s allegations, you can survive,...

Actress Aahana Kumra, who had played Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi in "The Accidental Prime Minister", says if she gets a role like that again, she would like to take up more films that explore a political theme.
"The Accidental Prime Minister", which released earlier this year, was based on former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's tenure.
On the biggest takeaway from the film, she said: "I think the greatest takeaway was to completely look like a different person, like a complete transformation; which I hadn't imagined.
Asked if she would like to be part of more political films, Aahana told a publication: "Yes, if they offer?me a role like that, why not! Now is a great time for strong competent female actors to play these parts."
"And I think that make-up, hair, and costume can really do that for you. You feel like a different person. What is...

In the current election season if there was an endorsement required from a giant of a politician about the outreach of Ott as a medium of entertainment on ever expanding spree, one could not have got a better endorsement for it than from Smriti Irani! She has emerged as a giant killer uprooting Rahul Gandhi from Amethi and celebrated the victory by using a famous quote from Game Of Thrones-The North Remembers.
Indeed, it is an apt metaphor to use as her victory has been a meticulous effort that has been possible owing a meticulous planning by the team ala the pack of wolves who have the capacity, capability and the power to bring down mightiest of the beasts in the jungles when they hunt in packs.

For her role as Priyanka Gandhi in The Accidental Prime Minister, Aahana sported short hair and a simplistic look -- diametrically different from what the audience had seen so far of her in a show like "Yudh" or a film like Lipstick Under My Burkha. She feels the role will help the film industry look at her differently.
"People often look at you (me) as a girl next door, and not sometimes as a character. And I think what is interesting is that because there was a different look, and a different hairdo, I think now they will be open to giving me a different get-up altogether."
"I don't know why do they (filmmakers) get scared to make women look different. We don't even live in a country where everyone looks the same," Aahana told.
She finds it unfortunate how all the actresses today look the same.
"There's no difference from one to the other.
