The summer’s most-awaited Bollywood potboiler is set for release less than a month from now, yet the drama surrounding its lead pair is providing enough real-life action for a thriller of its own.


For those who haven’t guessed already, the film in question is ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, with superstar Salman Khan’s pairing with one-time rumoured beau, Katrina Kaif, bearing the brunt of media scrutiny once again as stories of abuse and mistreatment does the round of the rumour mills.


Kaif’s situation is already being compared to that of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s, who came out to the media several years ago, accusing Khan of physically, mentally and emotionally abusing her during their turbulent courtship that even saw the former beauty queen caught on camera with bruises on several occasion.


The current drama surrounding Khan and Kaif came into the foray once again when rumour mills were abuzz with stories that less than a month ago the hot tempered actor had even hit the “New York” starlet with a stick during the making of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’.


The story alleged that Kaif had walked out of the makeup man in a skimpy outfit and Khan took objection in a violent way.


While neither party has commented on the story, one recalls a similar story that did the rounds at the peak of their alleged romance, where Khan was accused of slapping Kaif in public during an argument.


At last week’s press conference for the Yash Raj Films’ first look of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, Khan made a public jibe at Kaif in front of the press over her nifty moves in the track ‘Maashallah’, saying: “Katrina is very hard working. She rehearses for 5-6 days for every song.


“Today whatever is Katrina, her success rate is because of her sheer hard work. However, I am very talented so I don’t have to work hard.”


This is not the first time such jibes have been dished out, directed towards Kaif.


Sources close to the 27-year-old actress say that Kaif is too much in awe of Khan to ever publicly denounce him, considering it was him who played her godfather in Bollywood to land her some plum roles at the start of her career, which kicked off with the disastrous “Boom”.


A tough price to pay one can say.

We are moved by the generosity of BTS and allies all over the world who stand in solidarity in the fight for Black lives," the outlet quoted Kailee Scales, managing director for Black Lives Matter as saying.

The widely lauded band, earlier on Wednesday, took to Twitter to show their solidarity with the people fighting against the social injustice.

"We stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together," the tweet read.

The pledge of the donation from the Korean boy band and its label comes during a time when people and celebrities from the industry have come forward to demonstrate their support for the black community.

New Delhi, Jun 22: Amidst a strain in the ties between India and Nepal, actor Manisha Koirala, a Nepali national, on Monday urged people of both the countries to be not "aggressive and disrespectful" towards each other.

Koirala, a leading Bollywood actor of her times, took to Twitter to request people to let the respective government resolve the issues and stay "civil."

"A heartfelt request please let's not be aggressive and disrespectful..we are in this situation together..our respective Gov's will resolve the issue. In the meantime we can be civil ..I remain hopeful," she tweeted.

Earlier last week, Nepal 's Upper House of Parliament endorsed a proposal to discuss the Constitution amendment bill to update the country's map that incorporates parts of Indian territory.

Nepal's House of Representatives had on June 10 endorsed a proposal seeking consideration of a constitution amendment bill for change of country's map after a lengthy discussion. Nepal has made offers to India to hold "diplomatic talks to resolve the territorial issue" between the two countries.

New Delhi has said that the updated map is "not based on historical facts and evidence" and termed the claims by Nepal as artificial enlargement.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava also said that the move is violative of the current understanding to hold talks on outstanding boundary issues.
