Kangana Ranaut claims Akshay Kumar and other stars secretly called her to praise Thalaivi trailer

By Murtuza Iqbal

Kangana Ranaut feels that the Bollywood film industry tries to sideline her and doesn’t support her films. She says that B-Town celebs never praise the trailer of her movies, the way they praise the trailer of movies featuring other actresses.


Recently, she took to Twitter and claimed that Akshay Kumar and many other stars secretly called and messaged her to praise the trailer of Thalaivi, but because of the movie mafia terror, they didn’t openly praise it.

Kangana tweeted, “Bollywood is so hostile that even to praise me can get people in trouble,I have got many secret calls and messages even from big stars like @akshaykumar they praised @Thalaivithefilm trailer to sky but unlike Alia and Deepika films they can’t openly praise it. Movie mafia terror.”

She further wrote, “Wish an industry of art can be objective when it comes to art, and not indulge in power play and politics when it comes to cinema, my political views and spirituality should not make me a target of bullying, harassment and isolation but if they do, then obviously I will win...”

Thalaivi, which is a biopic on Jayalalithaa, is slated to release on 23rd April 2021. It’s a trilingual film and will release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

There are lockdown-like restrictions announced in the many states of India because of which many filmmakers have decided to postpone the release of their movies. However, the makers of Thalaivi have not yet announced anything about postponing their film.

Communal tables are back – and Gen Z is leading the way

Highlights:

  • Communal dining tables are becoming popular again, especially among Gen Z.
  • Surveys show younger diners enjoy meeting strangers, while many older diners prefer privacy.
  • Shared tables help tackle loneliness and encourage real-life conversation in a digital age.
  • Restaurants are adapting with supper clubs, shared platters and “come alone” nights.
  • The trend reflects a wider shift toward connection, experience and affordable social dining.

Walk into a place to eat and there is just one huge table. Everyone there is a stranger, talking, laughing, passing bowls around like they already know each other. For some older diners, the setup feels odd. It can come across as too open, almost like someone stepping into your personal space. But younger diners see it differently. For Gen Z, that setup is the fun part, the chance that the person next to you might turn into a friend, or at least a good conversation.

A 2025 Resy survey shows a clear generational split: 90% of Gen Z enjoy communal tables, compared with 60% of Baby Boomers. Beyond numbers, the social benefits are real; making friends, striking up conversations, even finding a date. For a generation often described as “the loneliest,” dining together offers a rare sense of connection.
