Gautam Gambhir's " Ab To Retire Ho Gaya" Comment On Rohit Sharma On Kapil Sharma Show Is Viral
"In most families there is a jethani who's calling the shots. Who is such a player? Someone who orders everyone, even if they're just taking advantage of their seniority," Kapil Sharma can be seen asking the cricketers.
"Rohit bhai is like that," Rishabh Pant said.
"Maine kaha, Rohit ka naam lele, abb toh retire ho gaya (Take Rohit's name, he's retired now)," Gambhir said with a smile on his face.
Look how happily this guy is saying "ab toh retire hogya" , and you want me to believe he isn't behind it pic.twitter.com/jO5JlDZKdO

Ahead of the second Test against England in Edgbaston, India captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir brought back an old tradition that was missing during the team's tour of Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Sources informed NDTV that captain Shubman Gill hosted a team dinner with the entire squad on Sunday, ahead of the second Test against England. The intent behind the activity was to strengthen team bonding, considering the number of newcomers the team has. The decision comes as a welcome move, as no such activity was held in Australia under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
As India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the lack of 'team spirit' in the group was categorically called out, with head coach Gambhir reportedly not being happy seeing the team being divided into different groups.
With Gill as the new coach, Gambhir seems to have ensured that the trend breaks and an old custom returns.

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.
