We all know Maldives island as one of the best destination for holidays with tropical islands with sparkling blue water that stretches as far as the eye can see, private beach huts on white sandy beaches, and coral reefs that teem with life. Apart from this, there are few amusing facts about this Tropical Paradise in the Indian Ocean which you must know.   1. The first  Underwater Cabinet Meeting was held in Maldives  To raise awareness on climate change, Maldives held an underwater cabinet meeting in 2009. It was the first country in the world to do so.   2. Maldives Was  Established By An Exiled Indian Prince Source The first people to officially colonize the islands came from India; the real date is unknown, but it was thought to happen before 269 BC. The first actual kingdom was said to have been established by the son of the king of Kalinga in India. The king was greatly displeased with his son, so he was sent away to the Maldives—what was then known as Dheeva Maari. ...

Gal Gadot has shared a picture of herself, taken around the time she contemplated quitting acting. The picture was taken by director Zack Snyder who gave a new lease of life to Gal’s career after he cast him as Wonder Woman in a brief role in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. The actor’s fortune turned around after she was cast as Wonder Woman in the DC Extended Universe. Taking to Instagram, Gal shared the monochrome picture and wrote, “This photo was taken by Zack Snyder on the day I did the camera test for Batman vs Superman with Ben. I came to LA for 30 hours while shooting a movie in Tel Aviv. But I wanted the role of Wonder Woman so much that it was worth the trip. I’ll forever be grateful to Zack for casting me and believing that I could bring Diana to life. I had no idea what the future would hold back when this picture was taken – seeing it makes me very nostalgic. It’s also proof that everything happens for a reason. I was on the verge of giving up acting… and then this ha...

Recently, Income Tax raids were conducted at the houses of actor Taapsee Pannu and director Anurag Kashyap. While the findings of the raids have not yet been made public, officially, speculations about possible tax fraud are already floating on social media. Source:  TOI Amidst the ongoing raids and rumors, Taapsee took to Twitter to shed some insight about the whole proceedings. And like the star that she is, Taapsee signed off with a cheeky comment directed at Kangana, who has, in past, attacked Taapsee (often without provocation) by calling her a ‘sasti copy’ and a ‘b-grade actress’. Of course, Kangana, despite all her claims of leaving Twitter for Koo (and giving us hope), is not one to pass on an opportunity to direct  cheap remarks at another woman  and  pull her down . And thus, she responded to Taapsee’s tweet by calling her ‘rapists ka feminist’.  Being highly offensive in just three words is truly a special ‘skill’, that Ka...

Creating the perfect trailer is an art in itself. After all, it should be so designed that the trailer hooks the audience’s interest, but does not reveal the plot – a fact that many recent movies miss out on. However, there have been times when movies have nailed the trailer, only to lose out on the main offering, i.e., the film itself: 1. Moxie Directed by Amy Poehler,  Moxie  hinted at being a feminist comedy-drama. But it ended up being a lackluster comedy that barely packed a punch, feminist or otherwise. In 2021,  Moxie,  with its slightly tone-deaf and unidimensional approach ,  just felt like an issue of “Feminism for Dummies & Beginners.” 2. Vote! Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Oh, how or where does one even begin to talk about how vastly different emotions the trailer and movie evoked. Suffice to say, once the film released, it was clear that this was one battle where everyone lost. 3. Rangoon When the trailer released, it  added to the hy...

Be it scientific research or sports, over the past few years, Indian women have strived to make a mark around the world in various fields. And, their stellar achievemets have brought honour to our country.   On that note, here is a list of exceptional women who are better role models than any of our Bollywood ‘heroes’. 1. Faye D’Souza Amidst all the noise and drama that passes for news on Indian media, Faye D’Souza has constantly been vocal about all the things that  matter  and that need to be talked about. Over the years, she has established herself as one of the most trusted journalists in India. In fact, she gave up a successful career as an anchor on Mirror Now and started her own channel because ethics were more important to her than materialism. Her social media updates on current affairs shine as a beacon of honest, exigent facts. In 2018, she was awarded the RedInk Award for ‘Journalist of the Year’. 2. Rana Ayyub Rana Ayyub is yet another female  j...
