Priyanka Chopra opens up about social media trolling!

Actress Priyanka Chopra meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Berlin became a topic of hot talk and sparked a big discussion all across the country. The actress was trolled for exposing her legs and sitting cross-legged in front of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Just after she posted the picture of the two, Twitterati was fast to pass their mean and judgmental remarks on her.

Now, in an interview with famous Television channel, the actress has put her side and well, she doesn't really care about the trolls. Priyanka told, "I don't know why you guys give trolling so much importance but for me trolling is not news, it never has been. Trolling is just someone's opinion and who cares about that?"

Previously, Priyanka's mom Madhu Chopra also explained what all happened. She told, "All I taught her if you have done no wrong, you have nothing to fear. She was going for Baywatch promotion, suddenly she bumped into Mr Modi, she cannot go for a dress change and come back to say hello? The meeting was not pre-planned, it was impromptu."

After all the uproar around the picture, Priyanka gave all the trollers a comeback with posting another picture with her mom and wrote, 'legs for days'. Indeed a subtle way of giving it back to all haters. 

Tamil Nadu CM J. Jayalalithaa’s demise has left a huge void in Indian politics, Indian Prime Minister!

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday condoled the death of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, telling that her death had left a huge void in Indian politics. 

"Deeply saddened at the passing away of Selvi Jayalalithaa. Her demise has left a huge void in Indian politics," Modi posted. 

Defining Jayalalithaa as a mass leader, Modi in another tweet posted, "Jayalalithaaji's connect with citizens, concern for welfare of the poor, the women and marginalized will always be a source of inspiration." 

"My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Tamil Nadu in this hour of grief," he told. 

"May the Almighty grant them the strength to bear this irreparable loss with courage and fortitude," the Prime Minister told, adding, "I will always cherish the innumerable occasions when I had the opportunity to interact with Jayalalithaaji. May her soul rest in peace." 

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa died at Apollo hospital here on Monday night, a day after she suffered a cardiac arrest. She was 68.

I did not ask PM to apologise, clarifies Anurag Kashyap on tweet hullabaloo!

Filmmaker & Director Anurag Kashyap on Tuesday clarified his purpose behind his tweet questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Pakistan last year and told he did not "ask the PM to apologise".

Hitting out at the media for playing with his statement for "headlines", Kashyap took to his Facebook page for a lengthy post and told "it is unfortunate that I have to explain my intention behind my tweet, because others and my industry colleagues have to suffer for me having an opinion".

"I am tired of the film industry being soft targets. We are damned if we do, damned if we don't! When we don't involve ourselves, they ask, 'Why is Bollywood quiet now?' When we involve ourselves, we become the scapegoats to distract you from the real news," Anurag posted. 

"Either way they use us to sensationalise news. Still, I'd rather put my opinions out there on my own platform, then give the media a bite (byte). NO, Anurag Kashyap did not 'ask the PM to apologise' (which most of the headlines would want you to believe, no one has their mind anyways)," he further added. 

The filmmaker tells he just asked the "fairness in judgement of a situation".

"The PM visited Pakistan for talks at the same time that a filmmaker was working with a Pakistani actor. Neither was aware of future events or mood. Yet only one pays the price," he added. 

Kashyap has spoken up after his October 16 tweet -- ""Narendra Modi Sir, you haven't yet said sorry for your trip to meet the Pakistani PM. It was December 25. Same time KJo was shooting 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'? Why?" -- caused a stir.

It came amid Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association of India's decision to not release movies with Pakistani actors, in single screens across Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat. It's a move that is likely to hit hard Karan Johar's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil", which features Pakistani actor Fawad Khan.

Kashyap on Tuesday told he understands that "the government did not cry 'ban' or demand that Pakistani artists be sent back, just as I'm aware that the PM himself doesn't censor my films".

"But we elected them and so it is their responsibility to protect us from bullies - media or political parties. And when the governing party's designated members don't respond in hours of crisis because they are second guessing the mood of the PM, then I would rather talk straight to the PM himself. There was also sarcasm in the tweet that followed; ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai' was for those mindless trollers who constantly ask for proof of your patriotism. Apparently that's all it takes. It was a jibe at them. Patriotic slogans don't absolve you from it all. I hope this explains." He ended.
