Dwayne Johnson, family had tested Covid positive; have recovered
Hollywood action superstar Dwayne Johnson has revealed that he along with his wife and their two
children tested positive for Covid-19 a few weeks ago, and have recovered now. Johnson took to Instagram on Thursday and posted a long video, giving health updates and urging people to take necessary safety precautions amid the ongoing pandemic, reports variety.com. “I wanted to give you guys a little helpful update on things that have been going on on my end for the past two-and-a-half to three weeks now. So the update is this: my wife Lauren as well as my two baby girls and myself, we have all tested positive for Covid-19,” he said in the video. “I can tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family, and for me, personally, as well. And I’ve gone through some doozies in the past. “Testing positive for Covid-19 is much different than overcoming nasty injuries, or being evicted or even being broke, which I have been more than a few times,” he said, adding that he is now relieved because he has recovered from the disease.

Kangana ‘self proclaimed queen’ of Bollywood: Farah Khan Ali
Jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali, has shared that actress Kangana Ranaut has blocked her on Twitter.
“The self proclaimed Queen of Bollywood just blocked me! I must have said something to p**s her off,” wrote Farah on her verified Twitter account.

A few days ago, Kangana alleged that Mumbai Police has encouraged crime and bullying against her on social media. Farah had taken to Twitter and asked Kangana not to disrespect Mumbai Police. “Dear Kangana, you May be a very big star with a huge following but that doesn’t give you the right to talk badly to the @CPMumbaiPolice@MumbaiPolice who are Govt officials of the state of Maharashtra and responsible for the lives of millions of people,” Farah had tweeted. Farah’s sister Sussanne Khan is the former wife of Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan. Kangana’s feud with Hrithik is well known. Although Sussanne and Hrithik are now officially divorced, she and her family have always maintained cordial ties with Hrithik and his family. (IANS)
Trolls demand Saif Ali Khan’s removal from Prabhas-starrer Adipurush
On Thursday, a few hours after it was announced that Saif Ali Khan has been confirmed as antago
nist opposite Telugu superstar Prabhas in the Om Raut directorial Adipurush, a section of netizens demanded Saif should be removed from the film. Interestingly, there seems to be no unity of reason why netizens feel Saif should not be cast in the film! While some feel the actor should be removed because it is a historical drama and he doesn’t have much knowledge on Indian history, another section of netizens allege that he threatened Sushant Singh Rajput to leave his daughter Sara Ali Khan at a time when the two of them were allegedly in a relationship. Yet another set of users allege he is a product of nepotism. Still others feel Rana Daggubati would have been a better choice. As Twitter was flooded with posts demanding Saif Ali Khan’s removal from Adipurush, the actor’s name kept trending throughout the day. “Hmlog wo kisi v actors/ actresses ka film nhi dekhenge jo Sushant Singh ke Support nhi kar rhe hai. #SaifAliKhan (We will not watch any actor’s film who does not support Sushant),” tweeted a user. “Saif Ali Khan threatened, Sushant to leave his daughter Sara Ali Khan. #SaifAliKhan,” alleged another user. Talking about the ongoing nepotism debate, a user wrote: “Please don’t take it lightly. You know what audience has done to #sadak2 @PrabhasRaju? Please remove #SaifAliKhan from this movie.” “Dear Prabhas sir if u allow any Khans n Bhatt’s n their Sugarbabies — sorry to say you public this time very serious – we have to boycott the film , we love you – Pls don’t spoil ur image with these. #SaifAliKhan,” urged another user.
