Earlier this month, Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu, who made headlines with her statements on ‘Dunki’ remuneration, and how big actors avoid female actors who overshadow them, has now explained her stance in detail. During a session at Sahitya Aaj Tak in Delhi, Taapsee said it doesn’t matter if she’s been roped in opposite a big hero, but wants to do substantial roles.

Taapsee Pannu doesn’t mind working with big heroes

Taapsee Pannu shared that her managers often tell her how people don`t come to her with films featuring big heroes assuming she won`t agree to the same. She said, When I do a film with a big hero, the pressure on making the film work is not on me. Like in Dunki, it was (Rajkumar) Hirani and SRK (Shah Rukh Khan), and I was relaxing. I want to do such films, with substantial roles, of course, but without any pressure. I want to do good roles, meaty characters, and it doesn`t matter if it`s opposite a big hero.”

Taapsee Pannu reveals low pay for ‘Dunki’

In an interview with the Indian Express, Taapsee stated, “Funnily, people think I do films like Judwaa or Dunki for money, that I get paid a lot. But no, it is the opposite. They feel, ‘There is already a big hero, why do we need anybody else for that?’ I fight these notions on a daily basis.”

She added, “75 percent of the time, it is the hero who has a big say on who the heroine is going to be. Now, obviously, the hero would want someone who is more in trend, someone who is getting more audience attention right now. Some are secure, others think, ‘Let me cast someone who will not overshadow me`.”

Taapsee Pannu is known for her powerful performances in movies such as `Pink`, `Thappad`, `Rashmi Rocket`, and `Shabaash Mithu`, among others. She was last seen in the films ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba` with Vikrant Massey and Sunny Kaushal, and `Khel Khel Mein` which features Akshay Kumar, Ammy Virk, Aditya Seal, and Pragya Jaiswal in lead roles, with Chitrangda Singh making a cameo appearance. Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film is produced by Bhushan Kumar and other prominent producers.

Winner of BTS' Jungkook lookalike competition in Chicago is an all-too-familiar face as ‘lore runs deep’

The chain reaction set off by YouTuber Anthony Po’s super-viral Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest in Manhattan on October 27, led fans to the K-pop chapter of this journey a month later.

Social media personality Andrew Alexander, who’s previously been documented as sharing “striking similarities” with BTS’ Jungkook, won the K-pop star-focussed lookalike competition in Chicago on Sunday, November 24, 2024. (Instagram )

On Sunday, November 24, the new US trend surrounding celebrity lookalike contests saw BTS’ Jungkook enthusiasts turning up for registration in droves. As the Hindustan Times (and several other outlets) previously reported, the event held at Ping Tom Memorial Park in Chicago, Illinois, handed out a $20 cash prize and a bottle of Soju to the winner. As it turned out, some older fans of the K-pop septet already knew the much-debated winner of the anticipated turnout.

A flurry of fan-shared videos and photos popped up online on Sunday (US time), capturing the three finalists in action as the trio, like other Jungkook impersonators showed up dressed in variations of black outfits. Ultimately, Andrew Alexander, a widely renowned YouTube sensation, was crowned the winner. Even if the name doesn’t ring a bell, some BTS fans will remember the content creator from a years-old YouTube video, in which his sister “turned” him into the beloved K-pop group’s maknae.

Who is Andrew Alexander, the winner of Chicago’s Jungkook lookalike competition?

According to the social media personality’s YouTube videos, Andrew is a third-year university student living in California. He clearly flew into Chicago, especially for the Jungkook contest scheduled this week.

Over four years ago, Alexander’s sister, Ashley, posted a video titled “I turned my brother into BTS Jungkook,” as she highlighted how “a lot of people say he looks like” the K-pop star. Given their “striking similarities,” as reflected not only their resemblance (though not validated by a lot of fans) but also their mannerisms, Andrew’s other sister (presumably), Amber, said at the time, “It’s so funny every video we post, there’s at least 20 new people that are like ‘I don’t know if anyone’s ever said this but, Andrew looks like Jungkook’”.

However, Andrew himself did not admit to the similarities. That didn’t stop BTS fan pages from drawing comparisons between him and the BTS singer.

In a video posted before the viral winning announcement, Andrew’s sister documented the scene at the competition venue. Ashley wrote confirmed in the caption, “He flew from LA we flew from NY.” Ironically, the ultimate Jungkook lookalike contest participant was also registered as #7, a number that holds great emotional significance in the BTS fandom, given the group’s member count.

A netizen who’d had been a longtime fan of the Alexander siblings clan – all YouTube personalities – commented on one of Andrew’s posts on November 24, “been a fan since 2018,” as they added a reference to Ashley’s YouTube channel “ur mom ashley.”

In yet another video posted by Amber Alexander, she also recorded the full-circle moment: “He flew all the way from California for this (crying emoji) after years of getting comments saying he looks like Jungkook @andrewalexander WON THE LOOKALIKE COMPETITION.”

Hours before show time, Ashley also took to her TikTok profile (@aaashleyk), showing a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how the family ‘Jungkook-ified’ Andrew by drawing the pop star’s famously known hand tattoos and suggesting that he needed a lip ring as well. For his final look, Andrew also showed up with Jungkook’s eyebrow and ear piercings.

Fans react to the winner being crowned for the lookalike contest

While some instantly approved the decision with comments like “Andrew is actually the ONLY one who looked like jungkook, the others literally have no similarity at all,” others who probably never tracked the siblings’ years-old digital footprints were lost why this win was especially gaining momentous traction online.

“If Andrew didn’t win, I would have hosted another one to make sure he won,” someone else wrote in the comments. Others quipped along the lines of how Jungkook had returned from the military and “Kinda crazy how they let Jungkook win his own lookalike competition.”

Those familiar with Andrew’s journey, definitely agreed with how the contest “cooked” with its final decision, especially since “the lore runs deep.” Who could’ve known that this was years in the making at a time when lookalike contests weren’t a norm?

JioGlass Mixed Reality Glasses Showcased at IMC 2023, to Launch in India Soon

JioGlass — the company’s mixed reality headset that supports both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) content — was showcased at the recently concluded India Mobile Congress 2023. The smart glasses are expected to launch in India soon and were previously announced by the telecom giant at its annual general meeting (AGM) in 2020. Just like other AR glasses, JioGlass is capable of displaying content on a large ‘virtual screen’. Users can also easily switch between AR and VR modes on the device.

At this year’s IMC 2023 the company showed off its upcoming JioGlass mixed reality wearable device ahead of its debut in the country. So far, Jio has unveiled two products that are capable of displaying VR content — an affordable JioDive VR headset and the JioGlass. The latter is expected to have a more expensive price tag.

While the company is yet to announce pricing for the JioGlass, it is expected to compete with products like the AjnaXR Pro and AjnaXR SE that are priced at Rs. 1,54,999 and Rs. 84,999, respectively. JioGlass was developed by a startup called Tesseract that was acquired by the Indian tech conglomerate. The device is listed as “coming soon” on the official website and could be available in the coming months.

The upcoming JioGlass mixed reality device sports dual full-HD (1,920×1,080 pixels) displays with a 40-degree field-of-view — these displays can create a 100-inch virtual screen to watch content like movies or sports. The glasses are also certified by TÜV Rheinland to offer low blue light emissions for reduced eye strain. You can also use magnetic prescription lenses that must be fitted by an optician, according to the Tesseract website.

The JioGlass smart glasses feature a proximity sensor and a nine-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor. It runs on an unspecified processor and has a boot up time of 5 seconds and a run time of four hours in 3D mode — it packs a 4,000mAh battery.

JioGlass is equipped with a USB Type-C port that can be used to connect to a smartphone running on iOS or Android with support for DisplayPort (DP) connectivity, or to a Windows or Mac computer. The device is equipped with an integrated microphone that is used for taking voice calls on the headset.

Diljit Dosanjh's Pune concert goes dry

In a last-minute move, the state excise department, on Sunday cancelled the permit for serving liquor at Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh‘s musical concert in the Kothrud area of Pune city.
The decision comes after strong protests from the youth wing of the NCP party and senior BJP leader Chandrakant Patil, along with some local residents and organisations, against serving liquor at the event.
Excise Department SP CB Rajput, while speaking to ANI, said, “We had received an application from the owner of the venue, and he had raised an objection, seeking that serving liquor should not be allowed at the concert. Therefore, acting on the application, we have denied permission to serve liquor at the concert, and the organisers of the concert have also been informed about it.”

NCP Pune President Deepak Mankar, in a press note shared by NCP officials, said, “We oppose Diljit Dosanjh’s program being held at Kakade Farm today, November 24. Due to this program, the citizens of Kothrud will face problems like the open sale of liquor, loud noise, and traffic jams. We demanded that the organisers cancel this program immediately. We are always against those who spoil the culture of Kothrud. If the concert is not cancelled, an agitation will be launched on behalf of the Nationalist Congress Party against the event organisers.”
Senior BJP leader Chandrakant Patil also said, “I am opposed to Diljit Dosanjh’s music concert to be held at Kakade Farm in Kothrud, Pune, as a local MLA and as a citizen. I am not only opposed to the sale of liquor, but also the traffic jams and loud noise caused by this event. I have given instructions to the Police Commissioner, Excise Department, and District Collector to cancel this event.”

“Such an event is a pest in society. If this event happens in Kothrud, a big march will be taken out on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party, and I will lead this march myself,” he added.
The concert was scheduled for 7 pm on the open ground of Suryakant Kakade Farms in Kothrud on Sunday.
Opposition to the concert also included concerns over sound pollution due to the installation of a large number of loudspeakers. Many protesters demanded the cancellation of the concert entirely.
To maintain law and order, police personnel were deployed at the venue of the event amidst protests.

Earlier this month, Diljit during his Ahmedabad concert stated that he would stop making songs on “sharab” if the government declared a nationwide ban on it.
“Jitni bhi states hai humare yaha, agar woh saari apne aap ko dry state ghoshith kardeti hai, agle hi din Diljit Dosanjh apni life mein kabhi sharab pe gaana nahi gayega. Main pran karta hoon. Hosakta yeh? (If all of India’s states declare themselves as dry states, then Diljit Dosanjh won’t ever sing songs on alcohol. I promise. Can that happen?),” he asked.
“Bohut bada revenue hai yeh. Corona mein sab bandh hogaya tha, theke bandh nahi huye the. Kya baatein karrahe ho aap? Aap youth ko fuddu nahi bana sakte (It’s a huge revenue source. During COVID-19, everything shut down except alcohol shops. What are you saying? You can’t fool the youth),” he added.
Meanwhile, Diljit’s Dil-Luminati Tour will continue with performances in Kolkata (November 30), Bengaluru (December 6), Indore (December 8), Chandigarh (December 14), and Guwahati (December 29).

Hezbollah fires rocket barrages into Israel after deadly Beirut strikes

Israel’s military says around 250 rockets have been fired by Hezbollah across the border from Lebanon, marking one of the heaviest bombardments of Israel since fighting intensified in September.

Several people were injured and buildings damaged in northern and central Israel, some of them near Tel Aviv, Israel’s police said.

The attacks followed an Israeli air strike on central Beirut on Saturday, in which the Lebanese health ministry said 29 people were killed.

Also on Sunday, Israeli media widely reported that Israel and Lebanon were moving towards a ceasefire agreement to end the fighting with the Iran-backed militia, Hezbollah.

Following reports of heavy fire from Lebanon, Israel’s police said it had received reports of rocket debris falling in the Tel Aviv area.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said a direct hit on one neighbourhood had left “houses in flames and ruins”.

Rockets fell in Petah Tikva, near Tel Aviv, and in some northern areas: Haifa, Nahariya and Kfar Blum, Israeli media reported.

Hezbollah, which has previously vowed to respond to attacks on Beirut by targeting Tel Aviv, said it had launched precision missiles at two military sites in the city and nearby.

Later, the IDF said it had completed strikes on 12 Hezbollah command centres in Dahieh, a stronghold for the group in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

Lebanon’s health ministry on Sunday raised the death toll from 20 to 29 from a massive Israeli strike launched without warning on central Beirut. It said a total of 84 people had been killed in the country Saturday.

The IDF has not commented on Saturday’s attack, but Israeli media reported at the time that it was an attempt to kill Mohammed Haydar, a top Hezbollah official.

Israel’s stated goal in its war against Hezbollah is to allow the return of about 60,000 residents who have been displaced from communities in northern Israel because of the group’s attacks.

In Lebanon, more than 3,670 people have been killed and at least 15,400 injured since October 2023, according to Lebanese authorities, with more than one million forced from their homes.

Over the past fortnight, Israel has intensified its campaign against Hezbollah.

On Sunday the Israeli public broadcaster Kan, citing Israeli and US officials, reported that Israel had given the “green light” to advance a US-proposed ceasefire deal with Lebanon, but indicated some gaps remained.

Signal has been updated with support for several new features that are designed to improve the user experience for group calls on the platform. The latest version of Signal or Android, iOS, and the desktop client now support the new Call Links feature that allows users to start a group call with several users, without creating a separate group chat. Other features that are part of the update include a new “raise hand” button, emoji reactions, and a new tab for calls on the Signal app.

Signal Updated With Call Links Feature: How it Works

After updating to the latest version of Signal on Android, iOS, and Signal Desktop, users will be able to create a call link, which can be shared with any user on Signal. The feature is designed to work seamlessly, like joining a Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call from a URL.

Previously, users had to create a group chat before initiating a call, which involved added each member manually. Now, users can send the Call Link to multiple people in their contact list — Signal currently limits group calls to 50 participants. Once a call link is created, users can keep

Signal is widely regarded as one of the most secure messaging platforms, and the non-profit says that the Call Links feature includes a feature to control who can join a call. When the Require Admin Approval option is toggled, the person who created the call will need approve each participant.

Signal Adds Raise Hand Button, Emoji Reactions, and Calling Enhancements

In addition to the new Call Links feature, Signal has also added a new Raise Hand button that brings the same functionality available on apps like Microsoft Teams and Google Meet to the encrypted messenger. The app will also display a list of participants who have selected the Raise Hand button.

Another popular feature with video collaboration apps — emoji reactions — can now be used on Signal for Android, iOS, and the Signal Desktop app. The messaging app has also added a new Calls tab at the bottom of the screen, allowing users to see their call history and manage their call links. In-call UI improvements, such as new call control buttons, are also available with the latest update.
