Smriti Irani says she ‘watched' Ravi Shastri hit 6 sixes on TV, netizens fact-check it
Actor-politician Smriti Irani claimed to have witnessed veteran cricketer Ravi Shastri hit six sixes in an over during the 1985 Ranji Trophy match on a neighbour's TV. But in a now-viral video, Shastri said that it was never telecast anywhere. In an interview with Hindi news channel Aaj Tak, Smriti told the journalist that she was among the loudest cheerers who celebrated Shastri's 6 sixes '40 years ago'. Pointing towards an old house across the street, she said, 'The family who lived in that house owned a television. When Ravi Shastri hit 6 sixes, I was among those celebrating the loudest outside their window.' 'Arre deekho Shastri ne 6 chakke mare,' she said. However, netizens were quick to point out the factual error, saying that the match wasn't broadcast anywhere. 'Smriti Irani has been caught lying in her interview. That match wasn't telecast on TV,' a social media user pointed out. 'Jab TV par broadcast hua hi tha match tab kya sapne me dekh kar gali me chilla rahi thi?' asked another user. A user quipped: 'Memory bhi WhatsApp forward jaisi ho gayi hai.. sab fake, lekin confident!' 'Smriti Irani's memory is like Indian TV serials, full of drama, plot twists, and absolutely no connection to reality,' slammed another user. 'Maybe she isn't aware, in those days BCCI used to pay durdarshan to telecast international matches. She is saying she has watched ranji on tv which channel it was by the way,' asked a user. Moreover, videos of the veteran cricketer noting that there was no TV coverage, unlike Garry Sobers' feat, began circulating online. 'I will give her benefit of doubt considering her 4 hours Yale degree. She might be confused with Shastri's Man of the Series win in Champions Trophy 1985. That was televised live and shown on DD News repeatedly,' a netizen said. After a long political career, Smriti Irani is marking her return to TV as Tulsi Virani in Ekta Kapoor's Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2. This rebooted version of the hit show, which ran successfully from 2000 to 2008 and amassed a cult following, will air on Star Plus and Jio Hotstar from July 29.

After Kolhapuri Row, Netizens Say Prada's Latest Heels Are Juttis In Disguise
Prada recentluy unveiled its latest leather pumps. Indians online believe that the heels strike a very close resemblance to Rajasthani leather juttis. After sparking outrage earlier this year with Kolhapuri-inspired sandals, Prada is once again under fire. This time, for its new Antiqued Leather Pumps, which many say mimic traditional Indian juttis. Netizens were quick to point out the striking similarity between the so-called 'original and unconventional' design and handcrafted ethnic footwear long worn across India. Despite minor tweaks like the addition of stilettos, the shoes' pointed-toe shape, visible stitching, and leather finish, netizens believe that the pumps appear to be heavily influenced by the classic jutti. What's stirred even more criticism is the lack of any reference to the style's cultural roots. This isn't Prada 's first run-in with accusations of cultural appropriation. The Italian luxury brand found itself at the centre of a cultural appropriation debate after unveiling T-strap leather sandals as part of its Spring/Summer 2026 collection at Milan Fashion Week. Social media users were quick to point out the uncanny resemblance to India's traditional Kolhapuri chappals, despite Prada labelling them as 'toe-ring sandals." The lack of credit to Indian craftsmanship drew sharp criticism online. Kolhapuri chappals, handmade by skilled artisans from Maharashtra's Kolhapur region, have a rich legacy that dates back to the 12th century. In 2019, they received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, an official recognition that protects their heritage and ensures rightful acknowledgement for the communities preserving these age-old techniques. That incident eventually led the brand to send a delegation to Kolhapur to engage with local artisans and better understand the heritage they had seemingly overlooked. Given this recent repeat episode, many are questioning whether luxury labels like Prada are truly learning from past missteps or simply rebranding traditional designs for global markets without meaningful attribution. As conversations around cultural appropriation grow louder, the call for greater accountability, respect for origin, and fair recognition of indigenous artisanship is more urgent than ever. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 15:16 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga Regrets Cutting 7 Minutes From Animal: ‘It Was A Good Cut But...'
Last Updated: Sandeep Reddy Vanga regrets cutting 7 minutes from Animal before release. Says he wanted to add them back on Netflix but couldn't. 'It was a good cut, but I regret it.' While Animal roared at the box office and became one of 2023's most talked-about films, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga admits the final cut left him with lingering regret. In a candid chat with Arjun Reddy star Vijay Deverakonda and Kingdom director Gowtam Tinnanuri, Vanga opened up about the internal and external pressures he faced just days before the film's theatrical release. 'What happened was, the first cut of Animal was 3 hours and 45 minutes, and the next cut — my satisfactory cut — was 3 hours and 30 minutes. I came under pressure seven days before release, I edited out like seven minutes," Vanga revealed. Despite its final runtime of over three hours, Animal was a critical and commercial juggernaut. The Ranbir Kapoor-led action drama, known for its stylized violence, turbulent father-son relationship, and raw emotional intensity, earned over ₹550 crore at the Indian box office. Yet for Vanga, the cost of shaving off those seven minutes still stings. 'It was a good cut," he admitted, 'but I regret it." The director said that repeatedly watching the film during its theatrical run made him keenly aware of what was missing. He had hoped to use the Netflix release as an opportunity to restore those lost moments. 'I wanted to add seven more minutes to the Netflix version. Even if I didn't finish it in 3.45, I finished it in 3.30. I regret that a lot," he added. However, when Animal finally premiered on Netflix, fans noticed that it mirrored the theatrical release exactly — with no added footage. Despite the omission, Animal became a career-defining moment for many involved. Ranbir Kapoor received widespread acclaim for his intense performance, Bobby Deol saw a resurgence as a menacing antagonist, and Triptii Dimri garnered attention for her nuanced role. The excitement around the film has now shifted to its upcoming sequel, Animal Park, which is currently in development and slated for release in 2027. With fans eagerly awaiting what Vanga calls a darker and more twisted continuation, one can only hope the director gets to share his full vision this time — no trims, no compromises.
