Sonakshi Sinha’s look from Bhuj: The Pride of India is damn impressive

Sonakshi Sinha has been in the industry for the past 10 years. The actress has played various characters, but for the first time, we will get to see Sonakshi playing a real-life character in the film Bhuj: The Pride Of India.

Sonakshi will be seen playing the role of Sunderben Jetha Madharparya. Today, the actress took to Instagram to share her look from the film.


Sonakshi posted, “Honoured to play the HEROIC role of Sunderben Jetha Madharparya, the brave social worker who took 299 women along with her to support the Indian Army! #BhujThePrideOfIndia a crucial incident from History will unveil soon with #DisneyPlusHotstarMultiplex on @DisneyPlusHotstarVIP! @ajaydevgn @duttsanjay @ammyvirk @norafatehi @sharadkelkar @pranitha.insta @abhishekdudhai6 @bhushankumar @tseriesfilms @ginnykhanuja @vajirs @kumarmangatpathak #celebratingthevictory #WeSaluteIndianSoldiers #OurSoldiersAreTheBest #OurSoldiersOurPride.”

Well, the actress’ look is damn impressive and it surely looks like a strong character.

The movie, which also stars Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, and Nora Fatehi, was earlier slated to hit the screens on 15th August this year. But now, the makers have decided to release the movie on the OTT platform, Disney+ Hotstar.  Earlier, Parineeti Chopra was supposed to play a pivotal role in the film. However, she opted out of the movie and later Nora Fatehi replaced her.

Bhuj: The Pride of India is set against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War.  It is surely one of the most awaited films of the year.

British scholars claim Harvard's copy of Magna carta is 'genuine'

A document long believed to be a mere copy of Magna Carta has been identified as a rare original dating back to 1300, making it one of the most valuable historical manuscripts in existence, according to British academics.

The discovery was made after researchers in the UK examined digitised images of the document, which has been held in Harvard Law School’s library since 1946. At the time, the manuscript was purchased for just $27.50 – approximately £7 at the then exchange rate – and described as a damp-stained 14th-century copy. Today, that sum would be roughly $450 (£339) adjusted for inflation.

‘Do not drink’ warning after bacteria found in tap supply in Yorkshire

A temporary 'do not drink' notice was issued to residents in parts of North Yorkshire this week following the detection of coliform bacteria in the local water supply, indicating possible contamination with human or animal waste.

Yorkshire Water advised nearly 200 postcodes across High Bentham, Low Bentham, and Burton in Lonsdale not to consume tap water unless it had been boiled, after routine testing identified above-average levels of coliforms. These bacteria are found in the digestive systems of humans and animals and can include strains such as E. coli. While coliforms themselves can cause gastrointestinal illness, including diarrhoea and stomach cramps, their presence may also indicate the risk of other harmful bacteria in the water system.
