Kapil Sharma Reveals Netflix Pressure Struggles On The Great Indian Kapil Show

Comedian Kapil Sharma is riding high on the success of Season 4 of his Netflix show  The Great Indian Kapil Show . The series, which premiered in December last year, is currently trending at number one on Netflix India's Top 10 most-watched shows list. In the latest episode, Kapil Sharma welcomed Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday - who appeared on the show to promote their film  Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri . During the light-hearted conversation, Kapil jokingly spoke about the pressure he faces from Netflix regarding the show. It all happened when members of the audience were chatting among themselves and disrupting the shoot, Kapil addressed them in his trademark style. He quipped, “ Mujra dekhne aaye ho? Dance karoon main?  (Have you come to see Mujra? Should I dance?) Work is going on.  Market mein hisaab dena hota hai Netflix ko  (I have to give an answer to Netflix). See, they are still messaging me.” Talking about Kartik Aaryan and...

Fact Check: Painting Behind Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Not Of Jesus Christ

After Congress leader Rahul Gandhi shared a selfie of him and Sonia Gandhi having voted during the sixth phase of polling for the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the photo was widely shared on social media.

The claim

Those sharing the photograph took a dig at Gandhi calling himself a 'janeudhari brahmin', (thread-wearing Brahmin), while claiming that he had a photo of Jesus Christ in his room, but none of Hindu Gods.

  • Among those sharing this is X (formerly Twitter) user 'MrSinha_'.

But...?: The photo does not show Jesus.

  • It is a painting titled 'Madonna Oriflamma' by Russian painter Nicholas Roerich, where the lady in the painting is holding a banner of peace.

How did the Quint find out the truth?: We noticed that the photo in the background showed a person holding a banner with three red dots, surrounded by a red circle.

Latest and Breaking News on NDTV
  • Using this description ('person holding red circle with three dots painting') as a search term led us to a 2017 blog post with the same image.
  • It identified the image as a 1932 painting titled 'Madonna Oriflamma' by one Nikolai Roerich.
  • It also mentioned that the geometrical art was Roerich's creation, which he called the 'Banner of peace', elaborating on the symbolism of the banner.
  • We looked up the name of the painting and found it on several websites across the internet.
  • One of the results included the painting's WikiArt page, last updated in 2013, which mentioned that the art was on display at the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York.
Latest and Breaking News on NDTV
  • The museum's Facebook page also shared the painting's photograph in 2021, discussing its meaning and symbolism.
  • Moreover, Roerich's website also carries a visual of the painting with details about its medium and dimensions, stating that it has been on loan to the museum since 1960.

Reproduced and printed versions of the painting are also easily available for purchase on the internet, as seen here, here, and here.

Conclusion: The painting seen in Rahul and Sonia Gandhi's photo is not one of Jesus Christ.

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 ...
