Gesture of Peace?: Kangana Ranaut Slammed For Using Pakistani Song In Latest Reel
The video was captioned, 'Zinda rehne keliye sirf ek cheez zaruri hai aur woh hai zindagi. Hope we don't just live but also remain alive and lively as well.' In the clip, she is seen plucking mangoes and mimicking peacocks.
What drew criticism was her use of the song "Ranjheya Ve" by Pakistani music duo Zain and Zohaib. Several social media users pointed out that she chose a Pakistani song despite ongoing tensions between the two nations.
Earlier this month, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting imposed a ban on Pakistani content and artists working in India.
In multiple past posts, the actress-turned-politician has expressed strong support for the Indian Army and praised their valor, especially amidst escalating tensions.
Following Operation Sindoor, Kangana wrote: 'May God protect those who protect us. Wishing our forces safety and success. #OperationSindoor.' She further reassured citizens, saying they could feel safe under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speaking to ANI, she stated, 'Our security forces protect us, may God protect them. PM Modi named this operation as Operation Sindoor. Pradhan Mantri ji ke saath hum sab ka manobal hai,' (We all stand firmly with the Prime Minister). 'While our mothers and daughters watched, their husbands were gunned down... those deaths are being avenged.'
On the professional front, Kangana is set to make her Hollywood debut in the upcoming supernatural horror drama Blessed Be the Evil.

Operation Sindoor: India's actions were measured, non-escalatory, govt tells Parliament
Operation Sindoor was launched in response to a 'barbaric' attack by 'Pakistan-sponsored terrorists', and the action focussed on dismantling terror infrastructure and neutralising terrorists likely to be sent across to India, the government said on Thursday. In a written response to a query in the Rajya Sabha, Minster of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh also said India's actions were 'focussed, measured and non-escalatory'. The Ministry of External Affairs was asked whether it is a fact that Operation Sindoor was 'announced under international pressure', and the 'factual position' in this regard. Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Lal Suman also asked about the impact of 'sudden announcement of ceasefire in Operation Sindoor' on the morale of the Indian forces which were 'achieving significant success', but suddenly 'declaring ceasefire was against their morale and the sentiments of the people of the country'. Union minister Singh said Operation Sindoor was launched to respond to a 'barbaric cross-border terror attack by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. It focussed on dismantling terrorist infrastructure and neutralising terrorists likely to be sent across to India'. Pakistan, however, attempted targeting Indian civilian areas, in addition to some military facilities, he said. 'These provocations and escalatory actions by Pakistan were met with a strong and decisive response from the Indian armed forces, inflicting significant damage on the Pakistani military. Subsequently, on 10 May, 2025, the Director General of Military Operations of Pakistan approached his Indian counterpart to request for cessation of firing and military activities, which was agreed to later that day,' the MoS said. Under Operation Sindoor, India had decimated nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on May 7 in pre-dawn precision strikes. It was carried out to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam terror strike. In a separate query, the MEA was also asked whether the ministry had taken efforts to 'alienate' Pakistan on world forum. As part of the UN Security Council's routine annual process, the Chairs and Vice- Chairs of its subsidiary bodies and committees are selected from amongst its permanent and elected non-permanent members. In addition to Russia and France, Pakistan has been selected as one of the Vice-Chairs of the UN Counter Terrorism Committee for 2025, Singh said. It may be noted that India was the Chair of the UN Counter Terrorism Committee in 2022. Similarly, India was also the Chair of the same committee during its 2011-12 term, the MoS added. 'The Government of India has been sensitising all concerned interlocutors on the menace of cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan. Due to India's persistent efforts, the global community has a greater understanding of India's concerns on cross-border terrorism,' he said. India's efforts over the years have led to listing of several Pakistan-based terrorists and terrorist entities under the UNSC 1267 Sanctions Committee and the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) 'grey listing of Pakistan', the minister said. The UNSC press statement in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack also 'strongly condemned' the terror attack and acknowledged the need to hold the perpetrators, organisers, sponsors and financiers of the attack accountable, he said. Several world leaders have recognised and supported India's actions to combat terrorism following the Pahalgam attack. Most recently, the US has designated The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, he said.

Kargil Vijay Diwas: Army plans two-day celebrations starting Friday
Drass (Kargil), Jul 24 (PTI) The nation will pay homage to the brave officers and soldiers who laid down their lives while pushing back Pakistani intruders during the Kargil War in 1999. On the occasion of 26th Kargil Vijay Diwas, three Union ministers including the minister of state for defence are scheduled to visit the Kargil War Memorial here on Friday and lay floral wreath as a tribute to the valiant soldiers as they fought a mix of Pakistani army and terrorists. The Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed every year on July 26. The Indian Army has planned a series of events on Friday and Saturday to commemorate the bravery and valour of officers and soldiers who took part in the two-month-long battle with Pakistanis. After flag hoisting and interaction with the next of kin of the martyrs, there will be cultural performances including Yak dance. Artists from various parts of the country will perform a national integration dance. There will be a rendition of patriotic songs before felicitation of the next of kin of the martyrs. Then there will be Beating Retreat and a rendition of the national anthem to mark the closure of the formal celebrations. The Kargil War Memorial has attracted a large number of tourists over the past two decades. The busts of eight national heroes — Major Rajesh Adhikari, Major P Acharya, Major Vivek Gupta, Captain Vikram Batra, Captain Anuj Nayyar, Captain Keishing Clifford Nongrum, Captain Neikezhoue Kenguruse and Lieutenant Manoj Pandey — line up the sides of 'Vijaypath' which leads to the memorial where the national tricolour flies high. Captain Batra and Lieutenant Pandey were awarded Param Vir Chakra while the other six martyrs were awarded Mahavir Chakra. The other 'heroes" of the 1999 war — the Bofors guns and QF 25-Pounder guns — are also prominently displayed at the memorial, in recognition of the stellar role they played in targeting the enemy positions.
