Female actors don't only have cat fights: Priyanka Chopra

New Delhi, Dec 2: Bollywood diva Priyanka Chopra, who was recently in the capital to promote a campaign called 'Girl Rising', said female actors don't only have cat fights but come together for causes they believe in.

'The Girl Rising: ENGAGE INDIA' program will work to raise awareness and change attitudes and behaviors relating to the education of girls through local language releases of the powerful feature film titled 'Girl Rising'.

"I think the kind of women got involved in this film and the international actors, who have been part of this, really gave 'Girl Rising' film a voice. And, I am very proud to be a part of ' Girl Rising' and bringing this film to India," the 32-year old actress said.

"In India, nine actresses will be telling the stories of these nine girls. Freida Pinto will be part of it, I am a part of it, and the beauty of it was, it just took one phone call from me. I called my colleagues and all of them said yes. They didn't even hesitate once that it's for another girl. Thus, proving a point that female actors don't only have cat fights; we come together for causes we believe in," Chopra added.

The United States Agency for International Development has announced USD 3 million as fund to support the program worldwide.

Kangana Ranaut attacks ‘Tejasvi Surya’, accuses him of hooliganism mistaking him for Tejashwi Yadav

News Network

May 5,2024

New Delhi, May 5: Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut intended to target an opposition leader but mistakenly ended up attacking her BJP colleague instead.

A similarity in names - Tejashwi and Tejasvi - was behind Ms Ranaut's fumble. "There's a party of spoilt princes... whether it's Rahul Gandhi who wants to grow potatoes on the Moon, or Tejasvi Surya who does hooliganism and eats fish," she had said.

RJD leader and former Bihar deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav was supposed to be the original target of her diatribe as one of his videos where he was seen eating fish became a major flashpoint between the BJP and the opposition recently.

Tejasvi Surya, incorrectly referred to by Ms Ranaut during an election rally yesterday, is BJP's Lok Sabha candidate from Bengaluru South constituency in Karnataka.

Meanwhile, Mr Yadav has responded to a clip of Kangana Ranaut's statement. "Ye mohtarma kaun hai?" (Who is this lady?), he posted on X.

Kangana Ranaut has been verbally bashing the Congress party since the BJP fielded her as their Lok Sabha candidate from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi. Congress leaders Vikramaditya Singh - her opponent in Mandi - and Rahul Gandhi have been the main targets on her dartboard.

While addressing a public rally in the Sundernagar area of Mandi Parliamentary Constituency yesterday, Ms Ranaut took a jibe at Mr Singh and Mr Gandhi over dynasty politics and said that both of them have a magic stick for development and talk only about non-practical things.

The Congress hit back saying the 37-year-old actor should first check the facts about her party leaders and speak about dynastic politics. National Media Coordinator for the Congress, Amrit Kaur, also questioned her qualifications on which she got a BJP ticket from Mandi.

The Mandi Lok Sabha constituency will go to polls on June 1, in the seventh phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
