Court rules Jung Hae In and BLACKPINK's Jisoo starrer Snowdrop can continue be on air after civic group files case for history distortion

The Seoul Western District Court has ruled in favor of Jung Hae In and Jisoo starrer JTBC drama Snowdrop in a case brought by a civic group. Since its premiere earlier this month, Snowdrop has been caught up in allegations of problematic historical distortion, with over 300,000 citizens signing a national Blue House petition requesting that the drama be taken off-air. Amidst the ongoing controversy, a civic group called Declaration of Global Citizens in Korea also filed for an injunction against JTBC on December 22 to stop airing the drama.

The court explained its decision by stating, “Even if Snowdrop  is based on a distortion of history, the probability that

Javed Akhtar files a reply to Kangana Ranaut's petition to transfer the case

According to the reports, in her declaration to the court, the actress noted that the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court's order is incorrect since the magistrate used its power without utilizing any judicial thinking. The petition concluded by claiming that justice had been served. Now, Javed Akhtar has responded through his lawyer, claiming that Kangana has remained in court 11 times since the case was filed.

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui: CBFC reduces lovemaking scene; asks makers to add a disclaimer about the transgender community

Ayushmann Khurrana started his career in 2012 with  Vicky Donor , a story of a sperm donor. Despite the taboo subject, the film got acceptance from families. Ayushmann later tackled many bold topics in his films and those movies also never came under the niche or ‘film festival cinema’ category. This has been a major USP for the talented actor and it is something that he only enjoys among all other actors of Bollywood. His next film,  Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui , too seems to be based on a risqué idea. It has now come to light that the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) asked the makers for a few cuts. As per the cut list of  Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui , five cuts or modifications were carried out by the makers, as asked by the CBFC. Firstly, a disclaimer was added which states, “No person associated with this film intends to offend or hurt any sentiments or feelings of the transgender community. The purpose is only to educate and create awareness amongst masses about the issues

Salman Khan’s entire family likely to attend Katrina Kaif-Vicky Kaushal wedding; no clue on Salman

Will he, won’t he? Speculations on whether Salman Khan will attend his close friend and protégée Katrina Kaif (soon to be Kaushal)’s wedding in Jaipur later this week can be laid to rest. Sources close to Salman reveal that the entire Khan family is expected to attend the Katrina-Kaushal wedding in Jaipur. “Katrina is very close to Salman’s sisters.

Vicky Kaushal-Katrina Kaif Wedding: Gajraj Rao reacts to the ‘no cell phones’ diktat; says, “Yeh begaani shaadi mein abdullah deewana wali baat hai”

The speculative sections of the entertainment media had a field-day dissecting and analysing actor Gajraj Rao’s reaction to the alleged pre-condition that the invitees cannot use their cell phones at the Katrina-Vicky Kaushal wedding. To this supposed pre-condition Gajraj responded, “ Selfie nahi lene dega toh main nahi aa raha byah mein  (If you won’t let me take a selfie then I’m not coming to the wedding).” When I contacted Gajraj to know if this can be considered a confirmation of the wedding he protested, “I had written this in humour. It’s all media hype. Whether the wedding is happening or not is not clear. But this concept of not allowing mobile phones at celebrity weddings is prevalent not only in Bollywood but also in Hollywood. Nothing wrong in that. I just joked about it. And it became a topic of discussion.” Adds Gajraj “I don’t think they’ve laid down any rules about not taking photographs, etc. The room for this kind of speculation on the digital media is limitless.

Jacqueline Fernandez likely to be arrested soon; Salman Khan unlikely to help and her close friends disappear

Jacqueline Fernandez’s troubles are growing by the hour. On Sunday evening she was stopped at the Mumbai airport from leaving the country after being named as one of the beneficiaries in alleged con-man Sukesh Chandrasekar’s Rs. 200-crore money laundering case. It is unlikely that her close friend and mentor Salman Khan would be able to help her out of this deepening crisis. Informed sources say it is just a matter of time before Jacqueline is arrested. Typically, all her so-called close friends have disappeared, preferring not to comment. A co-star of hers told me on condition of anonymity, “She is a very sweet person. But too ambitious for her own good. She always wanted the good life. Only the very best for her, always.” Also Read:  Jacqueline Fernandez allowed to leave Mumbai airport after brief detention at the airport from Latest Bollywood News | Hindi Movie News | Hindi Cinema News | Indian Movies | Films - Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/32SACX2
