‘You don't get to decide who's a doctor': Vidit Gujrathi lashes out at Liver Doc over Doctor's Day jibe
What did Vidit Gujrathi say?
'I made a simple post out of gratitude. I chose silence at first, because not every conversation deserves a response. But when it turned into mocking my family, I stepped in,' he wrote.
'If that means stepping out of my lane, so be it. You and trolls like you don't get to decide who's a doctor. You have no authority to define others lives or dismiss their work. I've said my part. Now, back to what actually matters. No time for noise,' he added.
What started it all?
The post came as a response to Philips' reply to Gujrathi, who lashed out at him for writing, 'I am sorry, but none of them are really doctors' on a picture showing Gujrathi's family.
Earlier, in response to a comment on the picture, Gujarati shared the professional specialities of his family members. 'My father is an Ayurvedic migraine specialist, my wife is an MD homoeopathy, my mom does cosmetology, and my sister is a physiotherapist.'
In another post shared earlier, Liver Doc said he didn't mean to offend Gujrathi but added, 'I was stating plain facts from a professional standpoint, and I do not mince my words. You may call that ego or whatever, to console yourself, no problem.'
'I am staying in my lane and always have. Calling out medical misinformation is what I do apart from being a full-time doctor. I suggest you stay in your lane and discuss more on chess. Sorry for the checkmate,' the Liv Doc further added.

In a recent appearance on the YouTube channel Learn From The Legends, Nihalani didn't hold back as he shared his concerns about the changing face of Indian entertainment. 'A woman gets married thrice… great!' While discussing the cultural shift in storytelling, Nihalani took a direct jab at Kapoor's long-running serials, calling them regressive and culturally confusing. 'But then, we as an audience are getting fed things like a woman getting married three times... Ektaa Kapoor, the great!' he said sarcastically. 'Here, men are not allowed to get married twice, and she gets these women married thrice! So the culture is slowly getting destroyed, shifted. ..' 'Now they are having sex even in the air' He also lamented what he perceives as the over-sexualisation of content, noting that today's mainstream shows and films often push the envelope.

Smita Jaykar Thought Priyanka Chopra Couldn't Be A Heroine: ‘She Was Dark, Looked Like Nothing'
Smita Jaykar says Priyanka Chopra was once 'skinny and dark', but stunned her with a diva-like transformation and global success. Priyanka Chopra has shattered countless stereotypes to become one of the most influential Indian actors in the world today. But her journey to stardom was anything but easy. In a recent interview, veteran actor Smita Jaykar, who worked with Priyanka in the 2004 film Kismat, recalled her first impression of the actress and how Chopra's incredible transformation left her stunned. Speaking to Filmymantra Media, Smita candidly shared, 'I did Priyanka's initial days' film with her, Kismat. She was very thin, skinny, dark. She was introduced to me and Mohan Joshi that she will be playing our daughter. When I saw her, I said, 'Oh My God'. She looked like nothing at that point of time. I thought how do these people come to become a heroine." However, Smita admitted that her perception changed completely. 'Cut to, Priyanka Chopra was wow. I thought what has this girl gone and done. She became a diva completely. So, you can't judge somebody and say, 'Yaar, yeh kisko leke aaye ho'. Kuch maaloom nahi kiski kismat kab badal jaaye. What an actress, fab!" Priyanka has always been vocal about her struggles with body image and skin colour. In an earlier interview with BBC, the Quantico star had said, 'I was called 'black cat', 'dusky'. I mean, what does 'dusky' even mean in a country where we are literally all are brown? I thought I was not pretty enough, I believed that I would have to work a lot harder, even though I thought I was probably a little bit more talented than my fellow actors who were lighter skinned." Despite the challenges, Priyanka has carved a unique path in global entertainment. She was last seen in Heads of State, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on July 2. The action-comedy features her as MI6 agent Noel Bisset, alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. Meanwhile, Smita Jaykar will next appear in Maa Lapataa and the third season of web series Romeo.

Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai Fell In Love On Bhansali's Film Set, Recalls Co-star: 'Their Affair...'
Smita Jaykar recalls Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai's affair during Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam shoot, says their chemistry elevated the film. Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai's love story remains one of the most iconic and talked-about relationships in Bollywood history. The two fell in love while shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's romantic drama Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), and according to their co-star Smita Jaykar, their real-life romance deeply impacted the film's magic. In a recent conversation with Filmymantra Media, veteran actress Smita Jaykar, who played Aishwarya's mother in the film, opened up about witnessing their bond develop on set. 'Yes, they fell in love there. Their affair flourished there. And it helped the film a lot," she said. 'Both of them had those moony-moony eyes, and romance was showing on their faces. That worked very well for the film." Recalling the warmth of the set, Smita shared how the entire cast and crew bonded like a family. 'We used to sit and play Antakshari. It was like a picnic," she reminisced. Smita also reflected on her experience working with Salman Khan and Aishwarya individually. 'Salman is quite a brat. I don't know how he is now, but at that time he was. He's a very nice person, large-hearted. I haven't seen him angry on set. People tend to exaggerate anger when it comes to celebrities," she noted. Of Aishwarya, she said, 'Very beautiful, even without makeup. Very humble, very grounded—at least at that time when I knew her." Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam is regarded as one of the most visually rich and emotionally stirring love stories in Indian cinema. With soulful music by Ismail Darbar and a moving story of love and sacrifice, the film became a huge box office success and received numerous accolades. While the film marked the beginning of Salman and Aishwarya's romance, their relationship ended in 2002. Aishwarya went on to marry actor Abhishek Bachchan, while Salman remains one of Bollywood's most eligible bachelors. First Published:
