Priyanka Chopra Jonas reveals that little Malti has got her ‘wrapped around her finger’; says, “I was so close to losing her that she can get away with anything”

Last Mother’s Day, Priyanka Chopra Jonas had opened up about her motherhood journey and posted about her and Nick Jonas’ daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas on social media. She had taken up to the platform to talk about her struggle with the complicated delivery of Malti, after the couple opted for surrogacy. As Mother’s Day 2023 is approaching, the actress opened up about how she can’t get herself to discipline her daughter because of the difficult journey they have had to bring her into the world.

Readers would recall that Priyanka Chopra Jonas had shared a post about the complications surrounding her daughter’s delivery. In an interview with Elle Magazine, the actress revealed that the journey has been so emotional that Malti now has her mother wrapped around her finger because she cannot bring herself to discipline her. She said, “She’s got me wrapped around her finger. I don’t even know how I’ll ever discipline her because I just don’t have it in me. I was so close to losing her so many times that she can get away with anything and I just want to see her happy. I want her to be the happiest. She’s a super smiley, happy baby, and that’s all my goal is—to see her joyous. Every time she smiles, it lights up my world, and that’s all I want to do.”

Further she went on to talk about Mother’s Day adding, “I’ve not been a mom long enough to be able to take the celebration, but I love to celebrate the moms in my life on Mother’s Day.”

For the unversed, last year on Mother’s Day, the Citadel actress had posted about how her little angel was in the NICU for 100 days. She had expressed gratitude towards the hospital staff and the entire team of doctors who helped the Jonas family to get their little baby home.

K-pop has become an international phenomenon in recent years, influencing pop culture and the music business outside of South Korea. The industry’s effect is felt today not only in the music industry but is also affecting how people perceive luxury. More fashion and jewellery companies are using Korean celebrities to head their commercials, a practise that was more common a decade ago with Hollywood superstars, which is great for diversity. Just in 2023, brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Fendi announced the addition of new worldwide ambassadors from the hottest Korean music groups. Having said that, the South Korean girl group NewJeans’ stratospheric rise was highlighted on Wednesday when Dior appointed Haerin as its new brand ambassador.

“This is an opportunity to celebrate the privileged ties binding more than ever the NewJeans singer and Dior.

Complaint filed against Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his Sprite ad for ‘hurting’ Bengali sentiments

A police complaint has been filed against the CEO of Coca-Cola India and actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui for allegedly hurting the sentiments of the Bengali community. The actor recently featured in an ad for the soft drink Sprite which was originally shot in Hindi. No objection was raised on the Hindi version. However, an advocate has filed a complaint raising issues over the Bengali dubbed version.

As reported by Live Mint, an advocate of the Calcutta High Court, Dibyayan Banerji, who is also the petitioner, said, “The main advertisement by Coca-Cola for its product Sprite was in Hindi. And we have no problems with that. We only have a problem with Bengali dubbing of the ad which is running on various TV channels and websites. Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is laughing at one of the jokes, which says, ‘shoja anguley ghee na uthley, Bangali khali petey ghumiye porey’. In English, it means that if Bengalis don’t get anything easily, they sleep hungry. And this, we think, hurts the sentiments of the Bengali community.”

Banerji further said, “There is nothing offensive in the Hindi advertisement. But it attracts section 66A of the IT Act and also section 153 A of the Indian Penal Code. We also want this type of shallow act and gimmicks to not be promoted in the future.”

The dubbed version of the ad allegedly has a joke which means “If they can’t take the ghee out with a straight finger, Bengali sleep hungry.”

Reportedly, the Bengali version has been taken down by the company and said in a note that it “regrets the recent ad campaign for the cold drink and that the company respects Bengali language.”

On the work front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has two releases – Sudhir Mishra’s Afwaah and Jogira Sa Ra Ra. Afwaah stars him alongside Bhumi Pednekar and is slated for a theatrical release on May 5. It also features actors Sumit Kaul, Sharib Hashmi, Sumeet Vyas, TJ Bhanu and Rockey Raina in important roles. He also has Kushan Nandy’s Jogira Sa Ra Ra and Noorani Chehra alongside Nupur Sanon.

K-pop group Brave Girls sign with Warner Music Korea; unlikely to use the same group name

Four artists from a well-established K-Pop group, Brave Girls (Min Young, You Joung, Eun Ji, Yu Na) reunite and sign with Warner Music Korea. Debuted in 2011, Brave Girls has been one of the most active female groups in the K-Pop scene with hit tracks like ‘Deepened’, ‘HIGH HEELS’, and ‘YOO-HOO’. In 2017, their biggest single ‘Rollin’’ became a viral sensation, charting number 1 in multiple charts in Korea, becoming one of the biggest summer hits in the history of K-Pop. Along with ‘Rollin’, their other singles ‘We Ride’ and ‘Chi Mat Ba Ram’ also charted in Korea.

Warner Music Korea says “The four artists have decided to stay together to continue their journey as a group. We are very excited to support the next phase of their career.” Regarding the official name of the group, the label says “We are having open discussions”

Being called “Summer Queens” and “Icons of Hope”, the group also appeared in various commercials, brands, and TV shows including a K-Pop competition show, ‘Queendom 2’ from Mnet.

In February 2023, the four artists terminated their contract with their previous label, Brave Entertainment, creating speculation on a potential disbanding of the group, until the new signing with Warner Music Korea today.

Min Young, You Joung, Eun Ji, and Yu Na’s new label Warner Music Korea has been having a strong imprint in Korea over the years, successfully breaking international artists like Dua Lipa, Christopher, Anne-Marie, and more.

Diljit Dosanjh fires back at trolls alleging he disrespected the Indian flag at Coachella 2023: ‘If you don’t know Punjabi then Google it’

The 2023 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival became a huge platform for South Asian artists to take over the stage and enthral music-goers. Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh’s enthralling performances on two weekends took over the internet by storm. However, the singer had to fire back at trolls who were spreading edited video of his to allege that he disrespected the Indian flag.

A video of Diljit Dosanjh surfaced online in which he was speaking about a woman waving the Indian flag in the crowd. At the concert, the singer said, “Eh mere Punjabi bhain bhraawan layi, mere desh da jhanda laike khadi aa kudi, eh mere desh layi, negativity ton bacho, music saareyan da saanjha (This is for my Punjabi brothers and sisters, this girl is holding my country’s flag. Stay away from negativity. Music is for everyone).”

The video was seemingly edited online and presented online in a way that looked like he disrespected the Indian flag. “So @diljitdosanjh objects when someone waves Indian tricolour during one of his concert in US. Which passport he’s carrying? Republic of KhaIistan? Shame one those Indians who listen to such 2rs artists,” read a comment with the video.

Diljit fired back at the fake news spreading and wrote on Twitter, “DON’T SPREAD FAKE NEWS and NEGATIVITY. Mai Kiha Eh Mere Desh Da Jhanda Hai. Eh Mere Desh Lai.. Means MERI Eh Performance Mere desh Lai. Je Punjabi Nhi Aundi Tan Google Kar leya Karo Yaar… Kion ke Coachella Ek Big Musical Festival Aa Othey Har desh to log aunde ne.. that’s why Music Sab Da Sanjha Hai. SAHI GAL NU PUTHI KIVE GHUMAUNA KOI TUADEY WARGEYA TON SIKHEY ENU V GOOGLE KAR LEYO (I said this is my country’s flag, this is for my country… which means this performance is for my country. If you don’t know Punjabi then Google it. Because Coachella is a big music festival, people from all over the world come there that’s why music is for everyone. Someone should learn how to twist a good thing from you… Google this too).”
