Radhikka Madan Reveals She Took Hockey Sticks To First Audition: 'Crime Patrol Bada Dekhti Thi'
Radhikka Madan tells Farah Khan she took hockey sticks to her first audition in Delhi due to a Crime Patrol binge. 'I thought it was a shady setup,' she joked. From television fame to carving her space in Bollywood, Radhikka Madan has had quite the journey — filled with grit, guts, and an unmistakable charm. Recently, while shooting a vlog at her home with filmmaker Farah Khan, the Sarfira actress opened up about her unforgettable first audition experience in Delhi — one that involved Facebook, fear, and a couple of hockey sticks. Radhikka recalled how a casting director reached out to her via direct message on Facebook for an audition. The location, however, raised immediate red flags. 'Badi shady si jagah pe audition ho raha tha. Toh main uss time Crime Patrol bada dekhti thi. Toh main apne do friends ke saath gayi hockey sticks leke. Delhi mein thoda pitaayi ka chalta hai," she said, laughing. She continued with a smile, 'Maine bola friends ko ki main andar jaaungi, fir tum peeche se aake… aur agle din pura newspaper ke front page pe hum hi hum." Her mock plan: she'd enter first, and her friends would follow, just in case something went wrong — imagining a dramatic front-page headline the next day. But fate had other plans. 'When I entered, I realised there was a real audition happening for a TV show. I felt awkward and was about to leave when they called my name," she shared. That 'shady" audition eventually led Radhikka to bag her debut role in Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi alongside Shakti Arora, a Colors show that ran successfully from 2014 to 2016 and earned her industry recognition. She went on to star in the international television series Cinta di Pangkuan Himalaya and participated in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8 before transitioning to Bollywood with Vishal Bhardwaj's Pataakha. Since then, Radhikka has built a versatile filmography, earning critical acclaim in movies like Angrezi Medium opposite Irrfan Khan, Shiddat, Kuttey, and Sarfira. Up next, she'll be seen in the action-thriller Subedaar, directed by Suresh Triveni and starring Anil Kapoor. The film is currently in production.

What is the viral 'Tea' app allowing women to red-flag men?
Tea, a women-only app, allows users to anonymously share feedback with each other about the men they are dating, have dated previously or even interacted with. The app has gained popularity on TikTok and seems to be particularly popular with Gen Z. Here's what we know read more The app is gaining popularity among Gen Z. A new women-only app called Tea has gone viral. The app is named for after the expression 'spilling the tea' or sharing the gossip. It allows women to anonymously share feedback about the men they are dating, have dated previously or even interacted with in the past. The app, ironically, became more popular at the same time that the Coldplay cheating saga unfolded. It is quickly becoming one of the most popular apps in different app stores. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But what do we know about Tea? How does it work? Let's take a closer look: What do we know? How does it work? The app was founded by Sean Cook, who previously worked at Salesforce and Shutterfly. Tea is gaining popularity on TikTok. It seems to be particularly popular with Gen Z and amongst West Asian communities. The app currently has over 500,000 users. It currently has a waiting list of around 900,000 to join. It has skyrocketed to the top of the ranks for free apps on the Apple store. It is also available on Android phones. The chat features a 'Group Chat' in which women can share experiences about men and dating among themselves. Women can post photos of the men they're dating and list 'green flags' and 'red flags'. They can also solicit information from other women who have dated the same man and their backgrounds. While some features are free, others are behind a paywall. After five free searches, women can shell out $15 (Rs 1,300). Or they can gain unlimited searches by inviting others to join Tea. Tea has received over 16,000 five-star ratings. The chat features a 'Group Chat' in which women can share experiences about men and dating. Image courtesy: 'Unlike anything else out there, this app is designed with women's safety, awareness, and empowerment as its top priority,' one review reads. 'It goes beyond basic dating protection and truly provides a layer of defense against liars, cheaters, scammers, and even predators.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, most of the reviews of men on the app appear to be negative. The app also has a real-time verification mechanism to prevent men from gaining access to it. 'If you get past the waiting list, you have to submit a pic of your face with an ID to prove you are a girl because no guys are allowed on the app,' one user told 'The guys that are green flags, I was trying to look them up on social media and like, oh, this is a good guy. So both ends of the spectrum are dictating my dating life right now'. It uses Artificial Intelligence to conduct background checks on its users. It also has catfish detection technology which allows users to reverse image search and uncover fake profiles. Phone number lookup helps verify if someone has a hidden marriage or concerning history with their phone number. Women can also look up public records of men and check their criminal history. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Cook has said he came up with the idea for the app after watching his mother struggle in the online dating world. Not only did she get repeatedly scammed, she also got catfished on dating platforms. Sabrina Henriquez, 28, told Washington Post she found the app on TikTok. She said other women had discussed how the app helmed them. 'They were going to go on a date with a certain individual, but once they got on the app and saw how much of a safety hazard this man is because of the allegations of abuse, it kind of saved them from putting themselves in that situation,' Henriquez said. The data shows Cook is right. Not only are women at risk of being scammed on dating apps, they could also be in physical danger. A 2019 ProPublica report, conducted with Columbia Journalism Investigations, showed that a one-third of 1,200 women had been sexually assaulted by men they met on dating apps. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'With millions of women facing online dating risks daily, I knew there had to be a better way,' Cook has said. 'Tea was built to provide women with an easy way to vet potential dates without fear instantly. Dating should be exciting, not dangerous-and we're here to revolutionise online dating safety for women.' Tea also donates 10 per cent of its profits to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. While women have praised the app on social media, men have not. It is currently available in the United States. What do critics say? Some are worried about the app possibly being misused. Others have raised issues of privacy for the men whose photos and information have been put up on the app. 'The app could easily be used to spread unverified accusations — especially with its anonymous nature — and could even be used as a revenge tool,' Jake Moore, global cybersecurity advisor at ESET, told Forbes. 'While its intentions are simple and protective, the unregulated format could unfortunately open it up to abuse,' he says. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD They predict a slew of lawsuits for the app. Experts say that the women posting on the app should do so carefully. Attorney William Barnwell told 'I could see some areas where this could cause people some big problems'. 'Truth is an absolute defence for a defamation claim; you can't just sue someone because your feelings are hurt'. 'You can be saying something that is true, but it's being used in a way to constantly harass somebody. There are laws that cover that,' Barnwell added. 'In people's outrage to want to out these bad people, it might be better to walk away.' With inputs from agencies

Why are we still listening to Himesh Reshammiya?
Composer-turned-singer-turned-actor-turned-meme, Himesh Reshammiya, in that order, is back. This time as a rockstar. Going by the excitement around his recent Cap Mania tour (the organisers had to add a second show in Delhi) and community singalongs during his recently sold-out stadium shows in Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai, literally inspired by the cap he began wearing due to hair loss, one thing is clear: there is a market for everything if you put the right spin to it. Add a giant cap hydraulically lifted up, a bright red stage, lots of confetti, laser lights, pyrotechnics and a click on the rewind button to the 2000s — Reshammiya's peak years and when a lot of the music was overproduced, catchy and therefore, accessible — it's a recipe for frenzy. Millennials and their parents are converging in droves. Not because the songs with some of the most absurd lyrics (Tera pyaar hookah bar (Khiladi 786), Tandoori nights (Karzzzz), Ice-cream khaungi (The Xpose) and some of the more respectable ones, like Aashiq banaaya aapne, Tere naam and Teri yaad saath hai (Namaste London), have travelled well and greyed. They are coming because they themselves have. And, perhaps, had no idea that they longed for these reminders of heartbreaks, of college canteen mimicry sessions, the first introduction to Deepika Padukone in Naam hai tera, in their current lives, which come with expendable income meeting this need for raw, unadulterated entertainment. The nasal twang, the cap and the floor-touching trench coats in the humid weather of Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai of the 'Jai mata di, let's rock' spouting guy we once mocked, are all acceptable now and part of a shared experience with friends and family. It is unrefined, and this, in today's terms, not pretentious territory. What if it is sloppy? People in Delhi are leaving judgment at home and gyrating to Hookah bar like it is 2005. And it's a cultural phenomenon worth noticing. Reshammiya has likely hired some smart branding and PR teams to make this so-bad-it's-stuck music marketable at a time when there is no dearth of good music. Looks like these corporate honchos have nailed the cap to the head: they have figured that in the nostalgia-fed space that is run by Insta reels, Reshammiya fits in nice and easy. His self-deprecating humour: 'Naak se gaun kya? (Should I sing in my nasal voice?),' he asked in Mumbai, was a one-of-a-kind feat. In an industry where people guard their public persona with such care, Reshammiya's self-parody is making him relevant to Gen Z. A post shared by Himesh Reshammiya (@realhimesh) How did this happen? In one year, how did we start with Diljeet Dosanjh, go to Bryan Adams, to Coldplay and Guns N Roses, and then to waving phone flashlights at Himesh Reshammiya? Barring some of his fun compositions sung by other singers, most of this music isn't innovative. What Reshammiya has been calling '50 hits in a row' in his recent interviews — and, yes, quite a few were commercially successful — were just earworms that once quarried into our brains and became guilty pleasures. There is certainly enough help from the idea of FOMO — a thriving live-music industry in a spiral mode — where newness is the currency. Add to it, the need to find an echo to something familiar, even if it is lousy. That it is somewhat cringe is half the fun. And that Reshammiya is earnest in presenting it all in the same old style, is bringing people in. Pair this with a brilliant band and live dancers and fire stunts and you have a winner. The evolution of Reshammiya is an interesting story. Born and raised in a Gujarati family, he is the son of composer Vipin Reshammiya, who gave his son the early exposure to music by taking him for recording sessions at the age of 14. Reshammiya began his career with TV show title tracks and debuted with the Salman Khan-starrer Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya (1998). In those years, he was constantly composing, building a stockpile of tunes and presenting them to producers. Which is also why he could do so much music at a given time. This was very different from other composers who created tunes according to the situation and brief for a particular film. Reshammiya's music was, at least for the initial few years, all about taking the pick. He composed for films like Dil Maange More (2004); Tere Naam (2003); Aashiq Banaya Aapne (2005); Humraaz (2002); Aitraaz (2004); Hello Brother (1999), followed by his superhit album Aapka Suroor (2006). It was, at best, mediocre. It worked. Also Read | Himesh Reshammiya is having a moment again — and honestly, it's glorious But as for the Himesh hysteria of the present and a title like 'Lord Himesh' floating around, let's be clear: This isn't any music revolution or a lesson in what is or isn't profound, as if Reshammiya missed out on his due then. Yes, his return, against good taste and all the odds, is working. But not because the music is crafty. It's because there is something sadly sweet about looping back to what we once knew, even if it was a cringe fest. Now that it is back like a spectacle, the theatre of the absurd has come with its own ways. And the audience is eager to indulge. Those singing in tune are wondering if they will be next.
