‘Rohit Sharma is India team's dominating jethani, Jasprit Bumrah is the always unhappy saas', says Rishabh Pant, Gautam Gambhir's response leaves Kapil Sharma in splits
During the episode, Kapil asked Rishabh about Gautam Gambhir and whether he is strict or allows the players to have some fun. The cricketer responded, 'They make me do all the wrong stuff.' When Kapil asked what kind of wrong stuff, Rishabh made a cigarette gesture and admitted, 'If anybody asks any normal, internal thing, I just can't keep my mouth shut. I won't say it unprompted, but if someone asks, I don't hold back.' He added, 'Normally the environment is relaxed in the dressing room but it also depends on the situation of the match.'
In another segment of the show, Kapil named certain family relations and asked the cricketers to identify players in the Indian cricket team who best fit those roles. When he asked who behaves like a 'jethani' — someone who dominates others while taking advantage of their seniority — Rishabh promptly replied, 'Rohit bhai is like that.' To this, Gambhir quickly pointed out, 'He is mentioning Rohit, but he is retired now.'
Kapil then asked who plays the role of 'devrani' — the one who gossips about other players and loves stirring the pot. Rishabh responded, 'There are many. The whole town is filled with them.' He then named cricketer Suryakumar Yadav.
Rishabh was also asked who is the 'damaad' type — someone who is very demanding and full of himself. Archana Puran Singh quickly quipped, 'I think Hardik Pandya.'
When asked who resembles the 'fufa', the one who gets offended over small things, Yuzvendra Chahal named Kuldeep Yadav. He said, 'He can get upset at any point in time. He will not see the time. He will also get upset after hearing this. We will have to pacify him.'
When asked, 'Who is the jija who complains a lot?' Rishabh said, 'That is Mohammed Shami.' He also said that Jasprit Bumrah is the player who is like a 'saas' (mother-in-law), adding that he is never happy with anything.

R Madhavan Opens Up On 'RHTDM' Toxic Label: 'Name One Actor Who Hasn't Played Such Role'
Last Updated: The 2001 cult film has faced flak over the years for portraying toxic masculinity through its lead character, Maddy. R Madhavan, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Aap Jaisa Koi alongside Fatima Sana Shaikh, recently addressed criticism surrounding his iconic romantic drama Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein (RHTDM). The 2001 cult film has faced flak over the years for portraying toxic masculinity through its lead character, Maddy. In a recent interview, Madhavan acknowledged the critique but urged viewers to consider the broader cinematic context. Speaking to HTCity, Madhavan said, 'If you look back at any Hindi film or film hero, you'll find that he is completely flawed. Because that's part of the way Indian culture has been represented. There's nobody, there's no actor in the Hindi film industry whose one film or the other is not toxic masculinity. Don't take only Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein; take any film before that. Any hero who has slapped a woman on the set or in the story is toxic." The Dhurandhar actor continued, 'Name one actor who has not done that or any actor who's abused a woman. So if you look at it in retrospect, then you're going to confuse yourself completely. What are the circumstances under which that guy fell in love?" Madhavan pointed out how, in earlier times, especially in small towns and villages, the lack of digital communication meant people met during social gatherings. He explained that if a man were to see a woman on a train and want to approach her with honest intentions, today's standards might label even innocent gestures as inappropriate. 'If he keeps a letter the woman gives, it is considered creepy," he noted, suggesting that the framework for interpreting such actions needs to evolve with time. The actor concluded with a thought-provoking remark: 'So, we have to change our understanding of what masculinity is right now." First Published:

R Madhavan defends Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein from misogyny debate: ‘Every Hindi film hero has slapped a woman on the set'
R Madhavan, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Aap Jaisa Koi alongside Fatima Sana Shaikh, has addressed the long-standing criticism around toxic masculinity in Hindi films. The actor also responded to the continued discourse surrounding his cult classic Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein (RHTDM), which in recent years has been called out for promoting problematic male behaviour. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Madhavan shared his thoughts on the portrayal of flawed male characters and urged audiences to view older films within the social and cultural context in which they were made. 'Every Hindi film hero is flawed' 'If you look back at any Hindi film or film hero, you'll find that he is completely flawed,' Madhavan said. 'That's part of the way Indian culture has been represented. There's no actor in the Hindi film industry whose one film or the other is not toxic masculinity.' Using RHTDM as a reference point, he added, 'Don't take only Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein; take any film before that.

The Dhokha Round D Corner actor went on to reflect on how older films mirrored the socio-cultural norms of the time. He spoke about a time before mobile phones, especially in rural settings, where social functions were often the only way men and women could meet. He added, 'If a guy sees a woman on a train and wants to approach her with noble intentions, what is the way to do that? If he keeps a letter she gave, it's considered creepy. So, we have to change our understanding of what masculinity is right now.' R Madhavan's Charming New Avatar Goes Viral Madhavan says perception of masculinity must evolve with time Concluding his thoughts, Madhavan acknowledged that masculinity, as a concept, has evolved and must continue to be redefined. However, he suggested that critiquing older characters through today's lens without considering the societal context may lead to oversimplified conclusions. Aap Jaisa Koi, his upcoming film with Fatima Sana Shaikh, reportedly explores themes like emotional abuse, gender roles, and how masculinity manifests in relationships. The film is expected to bring a more layered and contemporary take on these complex issues.

Fulton's men look to bounce back
Bengaluru: India struggled during the European leg of the FIH Pro League last month, losing seven of their eight matches against top teams such as Argentina, Australia, Belgium, and the Netherlands. For the Indian team, this was a tough reality check, especially as they had aimed to secure a World Cup berth. They narrowly missed the wooden spoon, finishing above bottom-placed Ireland. This experience served as a wake-up call for the team. However, there is hope on the horizon. The Men in Blue are now focusing on the Asia Cup, which begins late next month in Rajgir, Bihar. The competition offers India a chance to qualify for the World Cup scheduled to take place in the Netherlands and Belgium in Aug next year. Preparations are already underway, with a training camp set to begin on Monday. Additionally, a squad of 24 players will be taken to Australia for a two-week camp that will include friendly matches. From them, 20 players (including two standbys) will be selected for the continental competition.

Gutes Hören Undo We must respect all our opponents, but we are focused on improving from our performance in the Pro League and returning to winning form," said India's head coach Craig Fulton during a virtual interaction on Tuesday. India, currently ranked No. 8 in the world, is the highest-ranked team in Asia and will enter the tournament as favourites. However, challengers like Pakistan (WR 15), Malaysia (12), and South Korea (13) could give the home team a tough competition. The Indian team must utilise the next seven weeks to address their weaknesses and bring their best performance to Rajgir. One major concern has been the performance of the backline, as they conceded 26 goals in eight matches last month. They allowed some soft goals that frustrated Fulton, who emphasises a solid defensive strategy. Also, teams frequently scored late, contributing to India's losses. India also felt the absence of their captain, Harmanpreet Singh , who missed several matches due to a finger injury. "He got hit with the ball on his finger, which opened it up. Losing your captain during critical moments is always challenging, and someone else needs to step up to fill that void. It was a tough period for us, but we are fully focused on the Asia Cup now and have learned some hard lessons," Fulton remarked.
