EgyptAir said negotiations had resulted in the release of all passengers on the hijacked Egyptian plane except for five foreigners and the crew. About 60 people, including seven crew, had been onboard, Egyptian and Cypriot officials said. Cyprus broadcasting (CYBC) reported that the hijacker may have personal motives.

“The negotiations with the hijacker have resulted in the release of all the plane passengers with the exception of the crew and five foreigners,” the airline said in a statement.

The Airbus flight number MS181 had 81 passengers on board and was flying on a regular route when the hijacking took place, the Egyptians said. It was not immediately clear if one or more hijackers were involved.

Shortly after, the plane landed at the airport in the Cypriot coastal city of Larnaca, Cypriot officials said, adding that there were suspicions of a bomb on board.

Cyprus’ president says the EgyptAir hijacking incident is “not something which has to do with terrorism.”

The hijacker is said to want a letter delivered to his ex-wife. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry has said: “He is not a terrorist, he’s an idiot. Terrorists are crazy, but they are not stupid.“

Right from the day one of being aware of the marriage of Kohli and Anushka, the whole internet is buzzing with the congratulatory tweets or the couple. Almost every celebrity from sports and Bollywood did this, except her “friend” Deepika Padukone.

“Maybe not on social media, but Deepika has wished the happy couple personally and it was a warm message. She texted them both her best wishes individually post the wedding. Deepika likes to add her own personal touch to whatever she does – be it her own team or friends and social media can be a cold and impersonal way of conveying one’s feelings. Also, she has always been very supportive of Anushka in everything she has done as Anushka has been of her. They may have had issues in the past but now both have found admiration and respect for each other,” said the source close to Anushka.

Meanwhile, the source even added that the two actresses were never on good terms. A hint of it was revealed on ‘Koffee With Karan’s episode when Anushka along with Katrina Kaif kept mum when asked about the “friendship” with Deepika. The cracks in their friendship might have formed when Katrina started dating Deepika’s ex Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika may have become fond of Anushka’s former boyfriend Ranveer Singh.

It then read, “While we know that Deepika and Anushka are on good terms today, it was odd that Deepika didn’t wish Anushka on social media, as the rest of the Bollywood stars. All the talk started when Deepika started dating Anushka’s alleged ex-flame, Ranveer Singh but their relationship is much more amicable today so one would have expected her to wish Anushka on her special day. Till a year ago, Anushka was still passing sarcastic remarks on Deepika with the latter maintaining a calm façade and saying she considered Anushka as a friend but somewhere this year both patched up.”

“In 2015, Deepika tried to extend an olive brand when she planted a tight kiss of approval on Anushka’s cheek, at the censor board meeting that took place between the Bollywood stars and the politicians. The actress had loved Anushka’s production NH10. Anushka has been vocal in her support too of Deepika’s stand to fight against depression. When Shabana Azmi wanted to send the Deepika Bachao letter to the Prime Minister of India, Anushka was one of the first to sign up and take a stand. She even asked other actresses like Kangana Ranaut to join. So it seemed strange when Deepika didn’t wish her or Virat Kohli on Twitter when everyone was wishing the couple on their happy occasion,” adds the source.

On a whole, as of now, there’s no any ugly clash between them anymore.

After numerous protests and controversies, Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s magnum opus Padmaavat has finally hit the silver screen on January 25, 2018, and is doing well at the box office. Amidst controversies and threats, the audiences streamed into theatres across the country to watch the film.

The film has been getting mixed reviews from the audience. While some are impressed with Bhansali’s narration, there are a few who are showering with a lot of love and appreciation for Ranveer’s portrayal of Alauddin Khilji in the film. And there are people who are of an opinion that Padmaavat glorifies the practice of ‘Jauhar’.

Swara Bhasker’s mocking open letter to the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was bound to create a cyclone of opinions and open floodgates of debates. She slammed the makers for Jauhar scene. While many agree with what Bhasker wrote in her article, others have pointed out holes in her arguments.

She expressed how she felt like a V**ina after seeing the glorification of Jauhar. Swara further said that she enjoys Bhansali’s movies, but this time, she was disappointed to see Jauhar being celebrated. Bhaskar said, “Women have the right to live, despite being raped, sir. Women have the right to live, despite the death of their husbands, male ‘protectors’, ‘owners’, ‘controllers of their sexuality’.. whatever you understand the men to be.”

“Women have the right to live — independent of whether men are living or not. Women have the right to live. Period. Women are not only walking talking vaginas,” she added. Many celebrities from the film fraternity responded to Swara’s open letter, and now, Deepika Padukone, who played Rani Padmini in Padmaavat reacted.

In her words, Deepika said, “She probably missed the disclaimer at the beginning of the film. You probably went out to buy some popcorn and missed the initial disclaimers that come out.

“I think, secondly, the fact that it is important to view a film in totality and to see in which period it was set in. Third of all, I think for me this film is not just about the act (Jauhar) that they all committed, but it stood for so much more. For me, it’s a celebration of women and their strength, power, and dignity.”
