Salman Objected To Malaika's Outfit In Munni Badnaam Hui, Reveals Director

As Dabangg gears up to mark its 15th anniversary, director Abhinav Kashyap has opened up about some behind-the-scenes stories from the blockbuster. One of the highlights of the film was the chartbuster item number Munni Badnaam Hui, featuring Malaika Arora. However, the director revealed that convincing Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan to let Malaika be a part of the track wasn't easy. What's Happening Speaking to SCREEN , Abhinav Kashyap said that both Salman and Arbaaz initially had reservations about Malaika doing the number. According to him, Arbaaz wasn't comfortable with his then-wife being labelled an "item girl," while Salman raised objections over Malaika's outfits in the song. "Arbaaz and Salman, no matter whatever they say, are actually very conservative Muslims. Malaika also had her own differences with Salman over her outfits. They want their women covered up. So, they didn't want her to do the item song," the director shared. Abhi...

"My Last World Cup": Veteran India Star Banks On IPL For 'ODI Comeback'

Indian cricket team fast bowler Umesh Yadav has been a regular part of the Test sides, but his ODI appearances have been extremely sporadic recently. The pacer was included in the T20I squad for the 2022 series against Australia but played only one game. However, with Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 around the corner, Umesh is determined to make a comeback in white-ball cricket with another stellar season with Kolkata Knight Riders as India will be hosting the ODI World Cup later in 2013. 

“The ODI World Cup is played after every four years, and this can be my last opportunity to be a part of it. So, I need to do well in IPL and make a comeback in ODI format," Umesh told Aaj Tak in an interview. 

“As I said the World Cup comes after every four years and I'm not sure if I'll be around then. Hence, I want to make this season count and not wait for another four years,” he added. 

Umesh was one of the top performers for KKR in 2022 with 16 wickets from 12 matches. 

The freshly-appointed interim captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, Nitish Rana said that the leadership role is 'not new' to him as he has already been made battle-ready by his five years of affiliation with the IPL franchise and involvement as part of the leadership group. 

Kolkata Knight Riders will start its IPL 2023 campaign against Punjab Kings on April 1 at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. 

"For me this is not new. I have been playing a leadership role in this franchise for a few years. It's just that the tag is of a captain this time. And if I take extra pressure over a tag, then my game can potentially get ruined. There is no real fear. Yes, when you do something new for the first time, there is some added pressure. But I have played almost 100 games, and one thing I know is that I thrive under pressure and I am embracing this new role," Rana told reporters in Kolkata in his first media interaction as captain.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...

US In Touch With China Over 'Spy Balloon', Says Pentagon Official

The United States has communicated with Beijing on the alleged Chinese surveillance balloon shot down on February 4, after Pentagon overtures were rebuffed for days, a defence official said Sunday. "There have been contacts made with the PRC on the high altitude balloon," Assistant Secretary of Defense Melissa Dalton told reporters, referring to the People's Republic of China. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asked to speak with Chinese counterparts shortly after an Air Force fighter shot down the Chinese balloon off the US east coast after it had traversed the entire country for days. But he got no response, even though the incident prompted Secretary of State Antony Blinken to cancel a long-planned diplomatic mission to Beijing. China said Thursday it refused the offer of a call with the US defence chief because of Washington's "irresponsible" decision to shoot down the balloon. "This irresponsible and seriously mistaken approach by the US did n...
