Karan Johar on 3 years of ADHM: A film closest to my heart

Karan Johar’s last directorial was 2016 release Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The movie starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Fawad Khan. Shah Rukh Khan had a cameo in the film. It was a super hit at the box office and was a Diwali release.

Today, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil completes three years of its release and Karan Johar took to Instagram to thank the team of the film. He posted, “A film closest to my heart....had the best time filming it and have indelible memories! Thank you to the entire cast and crew that made this experience so memorable. ...it’s about the liberation of a broken heart.... @aishwaryaraibachchan_arb @anushkasharma #ranbirkapoor @dharmamovies.”


The movie had received mixed to positive reviews. Moviegoers had praised Ranbir’s chemistry with both the actresses, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The latter played a super-glamorous role in the movie and though she had only 20-25 minutes of role in the film, her performance was one of the highlights in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. While it has been three years, the songs of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil are still loved by the audiences.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil had faced a lot of controversies as it starred Pakistani actors Fawad Khan and Imran Abbas. In September 2016, Pakistani terrorists had attacked Uri because of which Pakistani actors were banned from working in Indian movies. However, Karan had cleared that he had shot with the actors before the attack.

Meanwhile, Karan is now all set to start shooting for his next directorial titled Takht. The movie stars Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. The movie is slated to release in December next year.

Copy of Comment: It’s time for a clear plan on immigration

The immigration white paper has been delayed to after the May local elections. The delay is sensible, as US president Donald Trump’s tariff games make economic conditions less predictable than ever, but necessary too. UK government ministers know how they want to talk about immigration – that control matters – but are torn about what policies that leads to.

There are real dilemmas of control. Downing Street and the Home Office want overall numbers to come down, but chafe at the Treasury constraint of making the fiscal numbers still add up. Health secretary Wes Streeting wants to invest more in NHS training, but not to turn away doctors and nurses who could reduce waiting lists in the meantime. With university finances more fragile than ever, education secretary Bridget Phillipson does not want to push half a dozen local universities over the brink to deliver a statistic on immigration.

MRI injection linked to rare deadly health risk, study finds

A new study has raised concerns over the use of a common chemical injected during MRI scans, suggesting it may contribute to a potentially fatal complication in rare cases.

Researchers from the University of New Mexico have found that gadolinium – a toxic rare earth metal used in MRI contrast agents – can interact with oxalic acid found in many foods to form nanoparticles in human tissues. These particles could potentially lead to serious health problems affecting organs such as the kidneys.

Aimee Lou Wood criticises SNL’s ‘White Potus’ parody for mocking her teeth

Aimee Lou Wood, star of The White Lotus, recently found herself at the centre of controversy after a parody of her character aired on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The skit, a political spoof titled The White Potus, humorously exaggerated aspects of the show, but for Wood, it went too far. Comedian Sarah Sherman impersonated Wood's character, Chelsea, with oversized prosthetic teeth. For Aimee Lou, this portrayal hit a nerve, and she openly criticised it.

Taking to Instagram, the actress expressed her discontent, calling the parody “mean and unfunny.” She argued that while she understood SNL was known for satire, the skit could have been executed with more sophistication and less cheap humour. Wood, who has always been open about her unique appearance, especially her noticeable gap teeth, clarified that she doesn't mind caricatures or playful jabs, but felt this one crossed a line. “I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth,” she wrote, pointing out that the entire joke seemed to target her appearance rather than the content of the skit.
