Alia Bhatt finally reveals how she deals with toxicity while her husband Ranbir Kapoor continues being tagged as ‘red flag’

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are under the scanner once again. This happened after Alia said that she does things that her husband likes or doesn’t like. Netizens have called Ranbir a walking ‘red flag’ since.

Alia has now revealed how she deals with toxicity, just as he continues receiving hatred for his behaviour towards his wife. During her Q&A session on Instagram, Alia shared what she feels is the best way to grow.

The actress feels constructive criticism is important and words can only hurt you if you let them. “Cultivate a life so full of love and gratitude that toxicity wouldn’t even REACH you,” she shared as her Instagram story.

See it here:

The bashing towards Ranbir began when Alia revealed that there is something that he does not like. During a recent video, Alia wiped off her lipstick. She then added that her husband, Ranbir, does not like it when she applies make-up. Thus, she tends to wipe off any lipstick she puts on.

On hearing how one of India’s well-known female superstar matches her actions to what her husband wants her to do, the netizens were furious and almost flabbergasted. Since then, Ranbir has been bashed for being a red flag and Alia is criticized for not putting her own thoughts and views forward.

This is not the first time that Alia have faced this level of wrath. Previously, Alia revealed that Ranbir doesn’t like it when she raises her voice during an argument. “He thinks it’s not fair and is important to be kind even when you are unhappy,” Alia had expressed back then.

Ranbir and Alia were in a six-year relationship and got married in April 2022. They welcomed their daughter Raha and have worked in one movie – Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva – together.

Abhishek Bachchan jokes John Abraham was ‘born to be a mechanic’

Actors Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham have worked together in Dhoom and Dostana and have been best of friends since then. Now, in a new interview, Abhishek tried to troll his friend and revealed his true calling in life, all in good fun. He said if not for acting and movie, John would have made for a great mechanic. 

In a new Mashable India interview, when asked if he has ever been into bikes, pulling them apart and putting them back together, Abhishek invoked his friend's name instead. He said, “I have a friend called John Abraham. I think he was born to be a mechanic. Lekin woh galti se supermodel aur superactor ban gaya (he became a model, actor by mistake). John's first passion is disassembling his bikes, then assembling them. So I have learnt a lot of that from him.”

Last year, also to Mashable, Abhishek revealed that it was John who taught him how to ride a bike for Dhoom. "I didn't know how to ride a bike. I'd ridden a bike in a film right before that but they put me on a trolley and take it. My mother and my father never allowed me to ride because they were scared. During the shooting, John taught me how to ride. John used to ride with me and teach me. He was unbelievable. He used to live in Bandra, he would ride all the way back to Juhu with me. He said 'baba, just remember. You have to be very responsible.' He is Parsi so he knew how to disassemble the bike and said 'this (chassis) is what you are riding on.' He was so safe and he taught me everything and I was so confident after that."

John is known for his huge collection of bikes and superbikes. In 2019, he shared a video on Instagram in which he showed off his multiple high-end bikes. He began with the black Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R, which is priced at an approximate ₹19.5 lakh. He then moved on to introduce his “fantastic baby” Aprilia RSV4 that is in the shades of red, black and white. It is priced at around ₹20 lakh. He then showed the ‘new baby’ in his collection - the Yamaha R1 in blue. It is also in the same price range at around ₹19.5 lakh.

Moving ahead, he showed his red Ducati -V4 Panigale, which is said to cost around ₹15 lakh. This was followed by a white MV Agusta F3 800 that he calls “a beautiful piece of art”. It is priced at around ₹18 lakh. The most expensive of his huge collection was the black Yamaha VMax 1700 cc 60th anniversary special, which is worth ₹25 lakh. It stood out with an image of a road painted in yellow on the fuel tank.

Abhishek will soon be seen as a cricket coach in Ghoomer, that will be released on August 18. John's upcoming movies include action thriller Tehran and The Diplomat.

Aakhri Sach trailer: After House of Secrets, Tamannaah Bhatia investigates the Burari deaths

After House of Secrets, available on Netflix, rocked the nation, here comes another show on the Burari deaths. Aakhri Sach, featuring Tamannaah Bhatia, will re-open the topic and most likely bring a new perspective to the case. The trailer of the show has now dropped.

In this 2.13 minute clip, Tamannaah is seen in the role of a cop. She asks what is the connection of number 11. It is to be noted that 11 members of the Chundawats aka Bhatia family died on the fateful night of June 30, 2018.

Apart from Tamannaah, the show also sees Abhishek Banerjee and Shivin Narang in pivotal roles. They are the only survivors who could have a hint about the secret hidden in the family. Abhishek plays the role of the son Bhuvan (inspired from the sole survivor of the Bhatia family, Dinesh Chundawat). Meanwhile, Shivin is seen as the fiancé whose girl died.

Watch the trailer here:

A lot was connected to the number 11, apart from the number of deaths in the house. The family had attached 11 number of pipes, grills, windows and vents.

Interestingly, the real story began in 2007, when the man of the house, Bhopal Singh, died. It was exactly 11 years later that the family was found dead.

From the engagement just 14 days before the deaths to the spiritual connection, everything is tapped upon in Aakhri Sach. The banyan tree and the ritual, is also seen in the trailer itself.

House Of Secrets, which is an examination of the Burari deaths, first aired on October 8, 2021 on Netflix. Three episodes of the show are available currently. Aakhri Sach, on the other hand, will stream on Disney+Hotstar from August 25.
