The couple dated in early 2000s and worked together in Kyun Ho Gaya Na. Vivek faced the entire country's ire when he shared a meme about Aishwarya and her previous relationships. The meme was divided in three panels which showed pictures of Aishwarya with him, another with Salman and a third with her husband Abhishek and daughter Aaradhya. The captions for each of the three images read, 'opinion poll', 'exit poll' and 'result', respectively. The meme was originally shared by someone else on Twitter, but Vivek picked it up, writing, 'Haha! Creative! No politics here just life!' Several celebrities bashed Vivek for his tweet. Anupam Kher, Sonam Kapoor, Urmila Matongkar called it 'disgusting and classless.' The tweet was also condemned by the National Commission of Women as 'misogynistic'. 'I would want to meet the Women's Commission... I have been working on women empowerment since the past 10 years, and I don't just talk about it on social media... I am very careful as far as respect for women is concerned. I personally feel that there's no disrespect (in what happened). I would meet the Women's Commission and if they explain to me what is wrong in it, I would apologise,' Vivek had told the media. Happy birthday Akshay Kumar: No one does family time better than him and here are 10 pics to prove it While Vivek earlier did not see anything wrong with the tweet, he later apologised for it. 'Sometimes what appears to be funny and harmless at first glance to one, may not be so to others. I have spent the last 10 years empowering more than 2000 underprivileged girls, I can't even think of being disrespectful to any woman ever,' he wrote as an apology, adding, 'Even if one woman is offended by my reply to the meme, it calls for remedial action. Apologies, tweet deleted.' Vivek was last seen in Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The film was a biography on the country's prime minister in which Vivek played the lead. Abhishek was last seen in Anurag Kashyap's Manmarziyaan and will soon be seen in the second season of Amazon Prime Video's Breathe with Amit Sadh. function getAndroidVersion(ua) {ua = (ua || navigator.userAgent).toLowerCase(); var match = ua.match(/android\\s([0-9\\.]*)/);return match ? match[1] : false;}; var versions='4.2.2'; var versionArray=versions.split(',');var currentAndroidVersion=getAndroidVersion();if(versionArray.indexOf(currentAndroidVersion)!=-1){var blocks = document.getElementsByTagName('blockquote'); for(var i = 0; i < blocks.length; i++){blocks[i].innerHTML = '';}}DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Australia retain Ashes after beating England in 4th test

ustralia star batter Steve Smith was player of the match - and the major difference between the two teams - with scores of 211 and 82.England resumed Day 5 on 18-2, went to lunch on 87-4 and tea on 166-6.Jack Leach, who scored a 51-ball 12, was promoted to No. 10 and batted for an hour with England fans hoping for a repeat of his third test heroics, or even bad light.Australia held on to the Ashes in England for the first time in 18 years. It thrashed England by 251 runs in the opening test at Edgbaston, the second test at Lord's was drawn before England won at Headingley by one wicket to level the series 1-1."Bitterly disappointed," England captain Joe Root said, "to come so close to taking it to The Oval is quite hard to take."Pacer Pat Cummins finished with 4-43 off 24 overs. He bowled Jason Roy (31) in the 18th over of the day, knocking over his off stump, and then claimed the key wicket of Ben Stokes, hero at Headingley with Leach. The England all-rounder got an inside edge and was well caught behind the wicket by Paine. Stokes, who had scored just one, did not wait for a decision from the umpire and walked as Australia appealed.That left England in deep trouble on 74-4.Joe Denly brought up his half-century after lunch with a crisp off drive off Cummins. It was his sixth boundary and took him to 53 off 112 balls. He fell without adding further to his score when he was caught out by the bounce from a delivery from Nathan Lyon (2-51) and offered a catch to Marnus Labuschagne at short leg.Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler came together and steadily took the score to 138-5 after 53 overs as Paine turned to part-time bowlers Labuschagne and Travis Head in the hope of breaking their concentration.But it was Starc (1-46) that made the next breakthrough when he won an lbw verdict against Bairstow for 25. That left England 138-6, with Australia needing just four more wickets to retain the Ashes.Australia thought it had removed Overton with the first ball after tea as Labuschagne grasped a catch fielding close to the bat but the ball had hit the body.Buttler misjudged the line off Hazlewood (2-31) and was bowled leaving the ball. His removal for 34 left England 172-7 and needing a rearguard from the tail.Jofra Archer did not last long, scoring only one before being trapped lbw by Lyon with a ball that kept low.Overton formed a stubborn ninth-wicket partnership with Leach, taking the score to 195-8 off 85 overs, with 20 remaining in the day.Australia was unhappy with what they perceived as time-wasting tactics from the England pair but Leach's resistance came to an end after Paine turned to Labuschagne's leg-spin.Leach offered a simple catch to Matthew Wade close in.The game ended when Hazlewood trapped Overton lbw, ending his stubborn innings of 105 balls for 21. The England man called for a review but the decision stood. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Bahamas struggles to rescue victims of Hurricane Dorian

ntire neighbourhoods were reduced to unrecognisable fields of rubble, houses were crushed into splinters and boats were tossed into heaps like toys, video from a helicopter flyover showed. About 60 per cent of Grand Bahama was under water, the satellite company Iceye said Monday. That includes the airport. All around, massive waves curled toward the island, delivering new blows."It's not just the power and ferocity of the storm, it's also the length of time it spent over Abaco and Grand Bahama," said Marvin Dames, the minister of national security for the Bahamas. "That's a disastrous outcome."Seven people have died in Abaco, Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said at an evening news conference, although the toll was expected to climb. Children were among those killed, Dames had said earlier.Hurricane Dorian first made landfall in the Bahamas as a category 5 storm on Sunday, but then it lingered, pummelling Grand Bahama and Abaco Islands, blocking even a basic accounting of the number of victims and the destruction.Cindy Russell, a resident of Marsh Harbour whose home was destroyed, said she had no words to describe what Dorian left in its wake. Hurricane Dorian is now a Category 2 storm and is slowly moving northwest. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Gloomy Onam for this tribal family

Luckily, the animal didn't chase us," her voice trembled when she recalled the incident. Only Sobhana, 37, and two-year-old Sidharth were present at the house when a lone tusker attacked their house in the Muthippara tribal settlement on the night of July 18. The settlement falls in the Palode Forest Range under the limits of Peringammala panchayat. Her daughter Preethi and husband Deepu were at a relative's place at that time. Sobhana and her family now live in a small shed near the rugged foundation of their house. "The animal is frequently sighted in the surrounding forests. Lone tuskers are more violent than those in the herds. We may be attacked anytime," Sobhana says. Her eyes full of fear. Officers of the forest and tribal welfare departments who visited them the next day of the attack promised help to build a new house. But nothing has materialised so far. The family has not even received the immediate assistance which they are entitled to. Now they spend the daytime in the shed and move to a relative's house in the nights. "We feel bad to take shelter at another house everyday. So we plan to cover the sides of the shed and stay here in the night as well. It's risky, but there is no other way," says Preethi. The only helping hand for the family was extended by the Palode Police who visited their house and gifted some kitchen wares. A tribal family at Peringammala will spend this Onam in a makeshift shanty amidst the dense woods of the Palode Forest Range. Their hut was destroyed by a wild elephant in July. The family is yet to receive any help from the government DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Concern or gimmick? All about Mamata Banerjee's surprise home visits

At the administrative meeting, she lambasted her party legislators and ministers for the neglect of the slum. 'Why should I have to do your work?' she asked minister Arup Roy, who hails from Howrah district, at the administrative review meeting that was aired live on TV channels and social media. In the evening, the Chief Minister went to a village in the neighbouring East Midnapore district and sat at a panchayat members' home to listen to the villagers. On August 21, she paid another unscheduled visit to the tribal-dominated Duttapur village along the border of West Bengal and Odisha after convening the administrative review meeting for East Midnapore district. This time, she sat on a chair at an open space, inquired from the locals about their needs and problems, distributed candies among the children and then surprised the locals all the more by entering a tea stall and pouring out tea for several persons present at the spot. On August 26, it was the turn of the residents of Baikunthapur village in East Burdwan district to be surprised. She went there straight after holding the administrative review meeting for the district. True to her style, she mixed freely with the villagers sitting at their homes, sipped tea and distributed the biscuits they offered her with the tea to those who are stood around her. So, what is the logic, politics or math behind these trips? Elections, pressure on officials and gimmicks are some of the explanations one hears, but the opinion is divided. The Trinamool Congress leaders, all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity, had various views. A Trinamool Congress minister close to Mamata Banerjee said that though a massive public outreach campaign is currently on in the state under the 'Didike Bolo' and 'Grame Chalo' campaigns, the chief minister herself wants to understand the psyche of the common people, a good number of who have moved away from the ruling party, as was evident in the Lok Sabha elections. Didike Bolo allows aggrieved persons to lodge a complaint directly with her using a tollfree phone number and an email id. Under the Gramey Chalo campaign, elected public representatives are visiting villages, spending the whole day and night, listing people's grievances and distributing the phone number and email id among the public. 'Even the phone number and email have filters. The complaints received through Didike Bolo are scrutinised by the members of a special team and only the very serious issues are taken to her. Here, she is getting to hear everything by herself,' said the TMC minister. 'She is taking the Didike Bolo campaign to a different level,' said a TMC member of the Lok Sabha on condition of anonymity. According to a TMC legislator of Hooghly district, 'She is keeping party leaders under pressure. Her sudden visits are surely aimed at keeping party leaders and administrative officers on their toes.' Political analysts consider this as an extension of the Didike Bolo programme. According to them, the idea that TMC wants to portray now is that even if other TMC leaders fail the people, there is Mamata Banerjee who can turn everything around. 'The message that TMC wants to spread now is that if things did not go well in the past, it was because the issues were not coming to her attention. In short, the TMC-appointed political strategist Prashant Kishor's present focus is on building a larger than life image of the TMC chief and to spread the message that there is no alternative to Mamata Banerjee,' said psephologist Biswanath Chakraborty, a professor of political science at Rabindra Bharati University. Kishore was roped in by TMC in June. His team has designed and is overseeing the public outreach campaign. Amal Mukhopadhyay, former principal of Presidency College, thinks that Banerjee is resorting to gimmicks because she has no explanation for her failures, especially in job creation. 'This is her desperate attempt to recover her party from the bad image that it earned for its members' highhandedness and indulgence in corruption. Its student wing earned notoriety for the college elections and the party earned widespread hatred for turning the 2018 panchayat elections into a mockery. Now, she is trying to impress people by showing how down-to-earth and accessible she is,' Mukhopadhyay said. 'I, though, doubt if it is going to do her any good unless she focuses on the core issues of development, including job creation,' Mukhopadhyay added. BJP leaders were acerbic. 'The chief minister is trying to mislead the people by giving an impression that she is one of the common people and empathise with their cause,' said BJP vice-president of the state unit, Jay Prakash Majumdar. ...

In UP, chief minister Yogi Adityanath's reputation is above the welfare of children

Although investigation has exposed the culpability of the school authorities and the headmaster - some villagers, too, have said that their children often say they get rice and salt, and a parent-cook was earlier asked to keep mum about the practice by the headmaster himself - a tangled yarn of a made-up scene of the mid-day meal validating the guilt of the journalist and the villager has been spun by the administration.It is now apparently normal to use law as a weapon to silence, threaten and punish in extreme measure - criminal conspiracy, if proven, leads to death or life imprisonment - with no account taken of the act in question. There does not have to be a crime, or even a minor offence. All it needs is a journalist doing his job, a commentator making a critical comment about any ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government in a state or at the Centre, a citizen protesting against injustice or the abuse of a system, or a teacher, artist or writer disagreeing with false beliefs being shoved down people's throats for the law, once used for grave matters, to close its trap. The mindset of New India's rulers is revealed by their questions regarding the journalist: what right had he to film when he works for a printed newspaper? Why did he make the video public instead of going to the administration? Apparently, the government wishes to define the limits of all professions in the country; it is psychologically an occupier. Children do not matter; they do not vote. 1702250 DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
