Saina Nehwal divorce: Olympic medallist badminton star announces separation with Parupalli Kashyap; 'life takes us...'
Saina Nehwal, Indian badminton star made an announcement of separation from her husband, Parupalli Kashyap, on Sunday (July 13). She shared the news with an emotional Instagram post which have sent shockwaves through the sporting world. Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap's relationship began on the badminton courts, where their shared passion for the sport blossomed into love. The couple dated for over a decade. They tied the knot almost seven years ago on December 14, 2018, in a private ceremony. Kashyap's transition from a fellow player to Saina's coach symbolized their deep trust and mutual respect, making their partnership a unique one in the world of sports. The dynamics between Saina and Kashyap were more than just romantic, their professional partnership inspired many. Kashyap's role as Saina's coach was particularly significant after 2016, when injuries began to take a toll on her career. He was often seen courtside, offering advice and emotional support during domestic tournaments and international qualifiers. A standout moment came in 2019 when Saina, under Kashyap's guidance, defeated an in-form PV Sindhu at the National Championships, showcasing her resilience and their effective collaboration. In her Instagram story, Saina wrote, 'Life takes us in different directions sometimes. After much thought and consideration, Kashyap Parupalli and I have decided to part ways. We're choosing peace, growth, and healing - for ourselves and each other. I'm grateful for the memories and wish nothing but the best moving forward. Thank you for understanding and respecting our privacy during this time.' Saina Nehwal's post Saina Nehwal made history as the first Indian badminton player to win an Olympic medal, securing a bronze at the 2012 London Olympics. This achievement placed her alongside weightlifter Karnam Malleshwari as one of only two Indian women to win an Olympic medal at the time. Saina's illustrious career also includes two World Championship medals (one gold and one silver), three Commonwealth Games gold medals (singles in 2010 and 2018, and mixed team in 2010), and two Asian Games bronze medals (2014 and 2018). In 2015, she became the first Indian woman to achieve the world no. 1 ranking in badminton. However, Saina's results were inconsistent in her later years, with her last professional match played in June 2023. While she has not officially announced her retirement, her focus has shifted away from competitive play. Parupalli Kashyap is one of India's finest former badminton players. With a career-high world ranking of 6, Kashyap showcased his prowess by winning the men's singles gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and a bronze in the 2010 Delhi edition. After retiring from competitive play, Kashyap transitioned into coaching.

Internet furious as CBFC cuts Superman-Lois kiss scene. Fans ask 'they allow scantily clad Bollywood item songs—why?
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is once again at the centre of controversy after cutting a 33-second kiss between Superman and Lois Lane in the Indian theatrical release of the new 'Superman' film. While the film continues to draw crowds, many fans have taken to social media to criticise the decision, accusing the board of hypocrisy and cultural double standards. The outrage erupted shortly after the film began screening in India, with many viewers noticing an abrupt cut during a key emotional moment between the characters. Initial confusion gave way to anger when it was revealed that the edit had been mandated by the censor board. 'This kiss was part of the storyline. The way it was chopped off, it felt like a glitch in the theatre (sic),' wrote one viewer on X. 'Only later did I realise it was a CBFC cut. Sad! (sic)' Fans expressed frustration over what they perceive as a double standard in the board's approach to censorship. One user remarked, "Censor board is cutting off kissing scenes while item songs objectifying women—which cause way more harm in society—are allowed without issue. If he was pinching her navel and slapping her butt instead, suddenly it'd become sanskari for the censor board (sic)." Another user mockingly congratulated the CBFC by writing, 'Oh, bravo, CBFC! Cutting a 33-second Superman-Lois kiss to 'protect' us, while letting vulgar item numbers slide—truly a masterclass in cultural logic! Guess superheroes need to stick to punching, not smooching, in this oh-so-pure cinematic utopia (sic).' Others pointed out inconsistencies with recent Bollywood releases. 'Housefull 5's double meaning and vulgar jokes were fine though (sic),' noted one fan, while another added, 'But they allow scantily clad Bollywood item songs—why? (sic)' Some expressed disappointment on a storytelling level. 'The worst part is, she said 'I love you too'. Without seeing this moment, the story feels incomplete (sic).' The backlash has sparked broader criticism of the CBFC's cultural leanings. 'Dehati sanskari censor board members shouldn't have the right to decide for me what I can or cannot watch (sic),' wrote one angry user. 'If only the government spent this much effort and money on prosecuting sexual offenders.' Another added a satirical take with a pop culture reference. 'Butt-punching scenes are allowed, kissing 'spoils the youth' of the nation (sic),' adding a GIF from the viral 'Dabidi Dibidi' song from 'Daaku Maharaj'. Internet reactions to the censored kiss scene in Superman. As public sentiment continues to mount online, the controversy has reignited debates around censorship, artistic freedom, and cultural hypocrisy in Indian cinema. Whether the CBFC will respond or reconsider its stance remains to be seen.
