Filmfare Awards 2020: Lyricist Manoj Muntashir announces he won’t attend any award functions

Last night 65th Filmfare Awards took place in Assam. Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy won mostly all the major awards including the Best Lyrics award for the song Apna Time Aayega.

Well, this made lyricist Manoj Muntashir quite upset and he took to Instagram to announce that now he won’t be attending any award functions. In a note, he wrote, “Dear Awards… Even if I try all my life.. I won’t be able to write a better song than #TeriMitti, a better line than.. ‘Tu Kahti Thee Tera Chaand Hoon Main Aur Chaand Hamesha Rahta hai’. You failed to honor the words which made millions of Indians cry and care for their motherland. It would be a great disrespect to my art if I still continue caring for you. So here I bid you a final good bye. I officially announce – I won’t attend any award show till I breathe my last. Alvida.”


Gully Boy winning multiple awards at Filmfare Awards 2020 has not gone down well with many people on social media. A lot of people feel that Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt didn’t deserve the awards, and Shahid Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan should have won an award for their respective performance in Kabir Singh and Super 30.

We wonder if this time Filmfare lost its credibility.

UK minimum wage rises push hiring costs up by 31 per cent: What does it mean for young workers?

  • Employing an 18 to 20-year-old is expected to cost businesses 31 per cent more between 2024 and 2027.
  • The additional annual cost is estimated at £4,859, compared with £4,462 for workers aged 21 and above.
  • The Low Pay Commission has recommended slower increases for younger workers amid concerns about youth employment.

Hiring young workers in the UK is becoming more expensive for businesses, with the annual cost of employing an 18 to 20-year-old projected to increase by 31 per cent between 2024 and 2027. New analysis by the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) estimates that employers will spend an additional £4,859 a year on a full-time worker in this age group.

The increase is nearly three times the rate of inflation over the same period, estimated at around 10 per cent. The figures include changes to minimum wage rates and employer taxes, adding to concerns about recruitment costs at a time when youth unemployment and the availability of entry-level jobs remain under scrutiny.
