American rapper Cardi B has been in constant controversy. Recently, he had posted his half nude photo on his birthday celebration on Instagram. After this, she was heavily trolled. However, after realizing the mistake, he immediately deleted the photo and apologized. Now she seems to be caught in another controversy. This time the matter is a bit serious and people are getting angry on social media.

She has been accused of emulating people and making fun of Hinduism. The case is of a shoe advertisement. She has a shoe in her hands and is photographed posing like goddess Durga. People say she has insulted Goddess Durga of Hinduism.

In protest, Cardi deleted the photo and posted a apology video on her Instagram account. In the video, Cardi says, ‘Sorry guys. I didn’t mean to offend or disrespect anybody’s culture. I can’t change the passed but I’ll be more cautious for the future. Love you guys’

Even after deleting the photo and apologizing, the anger of the people is not diminishing. People say that making fun of and dissecting Hinduism has become a trend. The stars make fun of Hinduism whenever they want. They do not think at all before disrespecting the deities of the Hindus.

So Cardi B is apparently paying homage to Goddess Durga. And what I don't understand that they are okay with this.
Cardi B Do you know who Durga Maa is and her aesthetic and importance in Hinduism?
This is so disrespectful.

Cardi B is a powerful women. No denying in that. pic.twitter.com/VgMW3sWOik

I think that the Cardi B ad was inappropriate tbh. Using religion/culture for marketing purposes is bs, irrespective of the religion. I'm sorry but putting up a picture of yourself as a goddess for a sneaker ad is not how you pay 'homage'.

Bigg Boss 14: Nikki Tamboli couldn’t utter a word when Salman accused her of her shameful behavior towards Rahul Vaidya. Nikki became silent by the heavy accusation.

Yesterday’s Weekend Ka Var was heavy upon many members of Bigg Boss 14 house. Housemates are sometimes crazy about the task of winning it and sometimes they also act as they don’t care about anything, which is not very decent on national television. Nikki Tamboli is one of them.

This weekend host Salman speared no one. On Saturday he made a session among Kavita Kaushik, Vindu Dara Singh, Kamya Panjabi, Arti Singh, Surbhi Chandana . And after all this she entered the house with Salman’s advice. Tomorrow’s list was full off the obsessions of Bigg Boss 14, Pavitra Punia, Nikki Tamboli and Jaan Kumar Sanu.

Salman asked Nikki about the nomination task, which she did with Rahul Vaidya. Giving away all the moral respect She put the oxygen mask in her pants, so that Rahul didn’t dare to take it. Salman asked Nikki what she would have done,if there was a girl instead of Rahul and she had put her hands in to take it out. Salman called it a ‘ Cheap Trick’. When Salman asked about the position of oxygen mask Nikki couldn’t say a word. Taunting her Salman told, “Bolne me taklif ho rahi hai, karne main aapko koi taklif nahi hui?”

After all this she said,  “I did what suddenly came to my mind.” Salman answered, “You still dare to say that you were right in your doing. It is very shocking! It is up to you, how much lower you want to stoop during tasks.”

On the other hand Rahul Vaidya was praised for her control and he also was saved from eviction through public vote.

There’s no denying the on-screen chemistry between couples can either make or break a show. And in some cases, the sizzling chemistry is so good, it leaves us spell-bound, living vicariously through their beautiful relationships. Throughout the lockdown, while there were plenty of jokes cracked about couples that were driving each other up the wall, we found our happily ever after on the web. Defined by qualities of mutual understanding, great compatibility, and being fun-loving, these on-screen couples have set goals and raised the bar when it comes to relationship goals. Here are our top 5 couples that we can’t get enough of: 

1.  Sanya and Shaurya in Please Find Attached Season 1 & 2- Sanya and Shaurya are the perfect depictions of a modern couple, finding their way together amidst balancing their personal and professional lives. Our obsession with them began in season 1, when we saw the two, who are also colleagues moving in together, and slowly give in to their growing attraction towards each other. In season 2 of Please Find Attached, watching the two align their different professional goals with each other and their lives is nothing short of a dramatic experience. At the same time, through Sanya and Shaurya’s ups and downs, we see what it takes to make a relationship work today, with learnings we can incorporate in our work, and in our relationships. 

2. Tanya and Mikesh in Permanent Roommates – We fell in love with Tanya and Mikesh, as we watched their lives and decisions whether to take their relationship to the next level or not played out in front of us. From being in a long-distance relationship, and then moving in together, and mulling over getting married, their story is relatable, aspirational, and above all, entertaining.  

3. Dhruv and Kavya in Little Things- Arguably one of the most iconic couples on the web. Watching Dhruv and Kavya figure out life, love, and everything in between together is entertaining, to say the least. It’s refreshing to see how the two go out of their way to brighten up each other’s days and put aside their differences to find a middle ground, to make the ‘little things’ truly count. 

4. Sara and Sapan Kohli in Mrs. & Mr. Kohli – What’s not to love about this Punjabi couple that is smashing gender biases, one stereotype at a time. Mrs. Kohli goes to work, while Mr. Kohli stays at home, much to the amusement of those they interact with. We also love seeing their ‘Punjabiness’ in all its glory, as they bicker over Butter Chicken and Paneer while navigating the everyday shenanigans that their role reversed lives throw at them. 

5. Jeetu and Saumya in Pitchers – Right from season 1, we’ve loved watching how supportive Saumya is of Jeetu, as he follows his passions. Being the only married guy among his peers, Jeet shows us how different even making the smallest of decisions can be, and how to navigate tough times. 

If you have missed watching any of these shows, now is a good time to sit back and binge.
