Armaan Malik, a YouTuber living with his two wives Payal and Kritika, has become a controversial figure since entering Bigg Boss OTT 3. While some viewers criticise his polygamous lifestyle, others, like digital influencer Uorfi Javed, have expressed support. However, Rakhi Sawant, a Bigg Boss veteran herself, strongly disagrees with Uorfi’s stance.

Rakhi Criticises Uorfi’s Comments
In a recent video, Rakhi addressed Uorfi directly, stating, “Uorfi, you are my sister. But what are you saying? ‘If all three are happy, then why should the world care?'” Rakhi argues that public figures on Bigg Boss become answerable to the audience. She questions the happiness of the wives, particularly Payal, suggesting an element of coercion. 

Rakhi spoke about the traditional Indian values of wifely devotion and commitment, regardless of circumstances. She concludes by suggesting that Uorfi wouldn’t understand the situation as she lacks marital experience. Rakhi questions Uorfi’s ability to empathize with the pain Armaan’s first wife might be enduring.

Uorfi’s Defense of Malik Family
Earlier this week, Uorfi Javed shared a picture of Armaan, Payal, and Kritika on her Instagram story. She expressed that she knows them personally and considers them kind individuals. Uorfi further defended polygamy, highlighting its historical presence and continued existence in certain religions. She argues that if the three individuals are content, then outside judgment is unwarranted.

Bigg Boss OTT 3, currently streaming on JioCinema, features a diverse cast of contestants, including actors Ranvir Shorey, Sai Ketan Rao, and Sana Makbul, alongside social media personalities like Sana Sultana, Vishal Panday and others.

Actress and politician Rupali Ganguly has taken a proactive step towards animal welfare by writing a letter to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. In her letter, Rupali appeals for the replacement of horse-drawn carriages with motorized e-carriages in Kolkata, citing concerns over animal cruelty and public safety.

Rupali Ganguly Advocates for Ethical Treatment of Horses
Rupali Ganguly, a supporter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India, expressed deep concern over the welfare of horses used in the carriage industry. According to reports, nearly eight horses have tragically died in recent months due to overwork and neglect on the streets of Kolkata. Rupali highlighted the risks posed to both horses and humans while stating that injuries sustained by these animals often go unaddressed, leading to abandonment.
Investigations Highlighting Animal Welfare Issues
Investigations conducted by PETA India and the CAPE Foundation have revealed alarming conditions among carriage horses in Kolkata. Many horses were found to be anaemic, malnourished, and chronically starved, further underscoring the need for immediate action to protect these animals from further harm.
Rupali Ganguly’s Career and Advocacy
Rupali Ganguly, daughter of acclaimed director Anil Ganguly, began her career in entertainment at a young age, debuting in her father’s film Saaheb in 1985. She later gained prominence through various television roles, including her iconic portrayal of Monisha Sarabhai in the beloved sitcom Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. She is currently headlining the popular TV show, Anupamaa.

The unpredictability at the box-office and some big films failing has led to some mega projects being shelved. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Karna, which had superstar Surya in the title role alongside Janhvi Kapoor who was to play Draupadi has been shelved according to sources. The film’s entire cast was locked, including Ali Fazal, Vijay Verma and Avinash Tiwari. This was supposed to be a big pan-India project produced by Excel Entertainment. The budget of Karna was approximately Rs. 350 crore, of which Rs. 15 crore is already spent on pre-production and look tests.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Though many are told that the film is being pushed but the HODs of various departments have been told that the film is cancelled, which is very sad for many of us who were looking forward to working on this big project.”

Karna was a dream project for the Rang De Basanti director and for Excel Entertainment, the actors too were banking on this mythological project which would be heavy on special effects and world-class post-production. The film was to be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and other languages as well.

This news of a big film being shelved has sent shockwaves in the industry. The cast is now moving on to other projects after getting some hints that this film will not be made.
