‘Disgusted, outraged’: Kim Kardashian condemns Balenciaga’s controversial campaign with children

American reality television star Kim Kardashian is “re-evaluating” her relationship with Balenciaga after the luxury fashion brand was widely criticized for a campaign featuring children posing with teddy bears in what appeared to be bondage gear. “As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images,” she said  on Twitter . “The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period.” Last week, photos surfaced of a Balenciaga campaign that showed children holding teddy bears in leather gear resembling that used in BDSM, an abbreviation for bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, and sadomasochism. One photo showed a child holding a bear that was dressed in wrist and ankle restraints with a lock and chain around its neck. Fashion house Balenciaga has been heavily criticised over a photoshoot showing child models posing with fetish-themed teddy bears. The shoot went vi

Netizens slam Bollywood for remaking Nazia Hassan’s ‘Baat Ban Jaye’ with Malaika Arora

Bollywood is often criticised for remixing old classic songs now and ruining the original essence of cult songs. Now, Pakistan’s pop icon Nazia Hassan’s iconic track Aap Jaisa Koi has been revamped for Ayushmann Khurrana’s upcoming film, An Action Hero . The new version, sung by Zahrah S Khan and Altamash Faridi, was released on YouTube on Saturday. It also marks the comeback of the  Chaiyya Chaiyya  diva Malaika Arora. Hassan’s vocals were initially picturised on Zeenat Aman, and late actors Feroz Khan and Vinod Khanna in the 1980 Bollywood film  Qurbani .  Aap Jaisa Koi  was a touchstone track in the disco movement back in the day. However, the heavily auto-tuned newer remixed version has not only been termed as “unnecessary” but also “criminal” by social media users. Netizens took to Twitter to rant about how the Indian industry should stop “ruining classics” and focus on creating new music instead and how the originals remain “unmatched.”  @tanishkbagchi and Bhushan Kumar

In response to those who still have questions, and those who passed judgment. Here's what happened. pic.twitter.com/0rjwkHtHkd — Osman Khalid Butt (@aClockworkObi) November 27, 2022 ‘My only reservation, which I made clear before agreeing was that I could not attend, let alone perform at the ceremony if Feroze was present there (which has nothing to do with his acting prowess, and everything to do with the

‘Shaheer isn’t negative’: Syed Jibran reacts to backlash on his infidel character in ‘Daraar’

Actor Syed Jibran has cleared the air regarding his character in Geo Entertainment’s drama serial Daraar, in his recent interview with BBC. Jibran addressed his character by saying, “I feel like Shaheer is not a negative character. It is, in fact, very good that our stories have evolved in such a way that the traditional hero-heroine and villain situations are less common.” He added, “A character does not have to spread either good or bad. My character in  Daraar  is going with a similar story. He’s a great guy in the beginning but he is also troublesome later.” He further explained why he doesn’t think Shaheer is a problematic character. “’Most of the time, when a man has any illicit relations with other women, he is not sincere with his wife and doesn’t pay attention to her. However, we have shown that Shaheer is a perfect husband and an ideal son-in-law. He’s a great brother but he is also very calculated with his acts. He can also be so cruel that his public image echoes perfec

Varun Dhawan opens up about crushing on Sania Mirza, reveals special moment with her

Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan recently made a revelation about his former feelings for Tennis star Sania Mirza. The Judwaa 2 star stated that he had a huge crush Sania when he was a crew member on an ad film that featured Mirza. Varun recalled, “I was working for Mad Productions, Mukul Anand’s team and I was working on an ad that featured Sania Mirza. We had to get 300 shoes. I went to Linking Road and rented 300 shoes. I had this huge crush on Sania Mirza at the time. She asked me for an apple. And I got this apple.” He re-enacted the trembling he felt as he gave her mother the apple for Sania, and added, “I was giving her like I said Aunty… apple. Her mother thought I was crack or something. So she asked who told you to bring this apple?’ Luckily Sania came and said I want the apple. I got like ₹5000 for it, to get the shoes, and also maybe the apple.” As of today, Varun is married to Natsaha Dalal, whereas Sania Mirza is hitched to Pakistani veteran cricketer Shoaib Malik.

‘Stop policing’: Sajal Aly, Adnan Siddiqui’s ‘war of words’ gets intense

Actors Adnan Siddiqui and Sajal Ali indulged in a war of words with each other after Adnan expressed his issue with Shehzad Roy’s ‘remixed’ version of the National Anthem. On Thursday, the renowned musician Shehzad Roy performed a ‘remixed’ version of the National Anthem at the 21st Lux Style Awards. The anthem, which Roy produced to mark the 75th anniversary of Pakistan’s creation, features the lyrics as the original, but some of the more modern instruments used to create the melody were replaced with traditional ones. For Siddiqui, the performance was underwhelming to the point that he found the new version disrespectful. “It (National Anthem) is always played in the original rendition at matches, tournaments, and other state functions. At a famous award show, artists, however, fiddle with the National symbol and possibly get away with it too. Personally, I find ‘remix’ of the Tarana disrespectful.” Star-actor Sajal Ali disagreed with Adnan’s stance and shared her opinion on In

Joy for Joyland: SHC dismisses plea seeking ban on film

The Sindh High Court has dismissed a plea requesting ban on the movie Joyland, Naeem Sahoutara reports for Dawn . The petitioner requested a ban on the movie, stating that the movie depicts a relationship between a married man and a transgender woman, and that the plot is against the Constitution and Islamic principles. The bench was headed by Chief Justice Ahmed Ali M Shaikh. “In our view, where a cinematic work has passed through the censors, who have examined its content and cleared it for release with an appropriate certification, an individual cannot be allowed to trump that decision through a court proceeding based on his conception of morality. Indeed, it is not the function of the Court under Article 199 to make a moral judgment so as to curtail the freedom of speech and expression of a filmmaker, as safeguarded under Article 19 of the Constitution,” stated the detailed order passed by a division bench. “On the contrary, the default position of the Court under Article 1
