Rapper and singer Emiway Bantai is all set to launch his latest song, Dubai Company. He has been sharing videos and teasers from the song, raising fans' expectations with a luxe vibe and daredevil stunts. However, a video that has surfaced on online is really taking away from his 'Aura points'. Emiway Bantai had not the best time shooting the music video for his song Dubai Company.
'He does his own stunts'
The video, which Emiway shared on his YouTube channel, shows him racing around in a large Toyota car on the streets of Sharjah. He pops out of the left rear window as the driver of the car does wheels around an open road. On a tight turn, the car wobbles a bit and Emiway goes flying out of the window. He lands on his head in a brutal mishap.
'Stunt Gone Wrong (Day to day with Emiway) Ep. 3 Full episode out now on my youtube channel,' the rapper wrote on Instagram.
The video made his fans wince. 'Oh 😮that's right he fall down while they are doing stunts behind this beautiful video a lot of hard work but he done it for us and yeah AlHamdullah he is safe now it's our turn to show our love & support,' wrote a fan.
Someone also noticed how the video showed the accident from multiple angles. 'Itna Dedication mat laao lala , ki jaan chali jaaye (Don't go so hard that you risk your life),' wrote a person. 'Mt kr lala, mt kr, mai bolra hu na tereko mt krr... (I am telling you don't do it),' said a person. 'Damn... Sar ke bal gira tha he be really doing his own stunts (He fell on his head),' noticed another. 'Damn bhai sar ke bal gira hai,' said another person.
Dubai Company will be out on Wednesday, July 23.

The banana survives in Batumi; India gets its first-ever Women's World Cup champion in Divya Deshmukh

Divya Deshmukh beat Koneru Humpy to become the FIDE Women's Chess World Cup in Georgia. Her companion through it all was a banana. NEW DELHI: In Batumi, Georgia, the final handshake left nineteen-year-old Divya Deshmukh full of raw emotions and tears — not just for the game she had just won, but for what it meant: India, for the first time ever, had a Women's World Cup chess champion — her closest companion in that moment were not her parents, coach or a fan, but a humble banana. Yes, a banana, untouched through the tension and triumph, now turned into the most unassuming witness to one of Indian chess's most glorious days. In chess, White pieces traditionally hold the advantage by virtue of the first move. But Divya had the black pieces, going into the decider of Monday's rapid tie-break against thirty-eight-year-old legendary Grandmaster (GM) Koneru Humpy, after all three previous classical and rapid games had ended in draws. The game teetered delicately, move after move, until Humpy cracked under the time pressure on move 40. Her sequence, 40.e4 followed by 41.d5, forced Divya to play and the veteran survived the first time. But it was not the last. The game stayed on a knife's edge from there, with both players trading blunders and brilliance, led more by instinct than calculation as the clock ticked menacingly. When Humpy played 69.h7, the evaluation bar dropped again but never climbed back in her favour. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo Six moves later, the two-time World Rapid champion resigned. And with it came the coronation of a champion, a new queen of 64 squares, India's 88th GM. The board as Divya Deshmukh became the first Indian to win the Women's Chess World Cup. It felt like a dream that the 15th-seed teenager, with no Grandmaster norms coming into the tournament, had just become only the fourth female in India after Humpy, D Harika, and R Vaishali to achieve the distinction. But unlike the other three, she did it in one swing, without amassing the three GM norms. The playing hall rose in applause. But there, quietly soaking up all the drama, sat the banana, an omnipresent figure in Divya's games these days. It had followed the Indian prodigy through round after round, a prop that puzzled many and amused more. Let's rewind to Sunday evening, after the draw in the second classical game of the final, Divya was eventually asked about it. 'I mean, what else am I going to do with the banana? I'm going to eat it,' she answered. 'I don't know what you're wondering about. I'm going to eat it, obviously.' Except, she never did.

'If I start eating a banana, then you should know that I'm pretty relaxed in my body.' But since there was no room for relaxation, the banana became her constant in the chaos. When asked if it was proving lucky, she laughed it off with a quick 'No!' But then again, we've all seen Rafael Nadal fuss over his water bottles and MS Dhoni with his glove rituals. Nevertheless, the banana sat just centimetres away, enjoyed the best view as Divya took down a player twice her age, earning the admiration of legends and the love of a 150-crore-strong nation. And now, while Divya may not have bitten into that, she has something far sweeter to sink her teeth into: a gold medal. Divya Deshmukh survived Batumi. So did the banana.

Kyunki, saas bahu and suffering never go out of style

Old films re-releasing in theatres seem to have inspired the television industry to bring back the one bahu who ruled them all. Tulsi Virani and her family make a comeback in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kahi Bahu Thi (part deux or redux, take your pick) on Star Plus from the 29th of July. I can't help but wonder if I am nostalgic or disappointed. Nostalgic about the return of Tulsi on her moral high horse, or disappointed with the stagnation of television programming in India, that allows a 25-year-old show to remain relevant. Interestingly, I was working with the channel that broadcast the show when it went off the air in 2008. I recall it being a big deal that Tulsi Virani would no longer be on our screens. Well, not anymore. As Kyunki makes a return after all these years, and potentially opens the door for other erstwhile soap operas to return, or be rebooted, I can't help but wonder – what is it about watching a woman suffer and make unrealistic sacrifices that appeals to people? Or, for that matter, watching a family or home turn into a hotbed for indiscretions and crime? Does the chaos and unhappiness of someone else's home make us feel better about our own? Is it trauma bonding, where we feel like we are not the only ones suffering in a bad marriage or toxic family? Maybe in some cases, it's an opportunity to acknowledge toxicity and potentially course correct one's behaviour. Ekta Kapoor's rise coincided with the establishment of the daily soap as appointment viewing on Hindi GEC. The small screen czarina seemingly found inspiration in the closeted dysfunction of Indian homes. She went on to create multiple stories of love, marriage, suffering, tragedy and crime that audiences lapped up every evening, week after week, for years together. In a country where we once enjoyed shows like Buniyaad, Saans, Kora Kagaz, or Dekh Bhai Dekh, Kapoor single-handedly changed our viewing palettes and diets. Whether it was Kyunki, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kkusum, Kasamh Se, Kayamath, Kabhii Sautan Kabhii Sahelii, Kundali, Kis Desh Mein Hain Meraa Dil, or Kkavyanjali, the K sagas shaped television programming in India for over a decade and made domestic upheavals the mainstay of our weeknight programming. What all these shows had in common, apart from an alphabet, was that they are/were drenched in the tears of the female protagonist whose life was an unending obstacle course of misunderstandings and misery. Along the way, she also sermonised like a priest about sanskaar and sindoor and cooked like bonded labour. The problem is not just that these daily soaps promoted regressive ideas like equating your spouse to your fate/destiny (Kumkum Bhagya), made marriage and motherhood the essence of a woman's life, or glorified women for tolerating infidelity, abuse and harassment to make their marriage work. The larger problem was that the pressure of producing five or more episodes a week irreversibly impacted the quality of content we were producing. Scripts were replaced with background score and sound effects, performances with VFX (remember the lightning strikes and freeze frames), and realism with melodrama. Add to this the pressure of weekly ratings, which meant that shows soon gave up on their resolve to differentiate themselves or stick to what the progressive launch promo promised. Take Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi itself. The show, which was meant to celebrate Indian joint families and the values that hold us together, had characters across generations commit indiscretions and even sexual offences. The leading man, Mihir, whose death left an entire nation in mourning, had an extramarital affair with Mandira that produced an illegitimate son. Mihir and Tulsi's eldest son Gautam married thrice and his first ex-wife eventually married his cousin. Three female characters are raped, of which one was an instance of marital rape. Tulsi killed her son Ansh in a Mother India moment, and took her mother-in-law Savita off life support, though euthanasia is illegal in India. Babies were swapped or kidnapped, spouses were bumped off, and women constantly spewed venom at each other. Ironically, for a family that lived in Shanti Niketan, they rarely seemed to have a moment's peace. This was the summary of just one show. Multiple such shows were being broadcast simultaneously, or continue to be, each one with equal or more dysfunction than the next. Thanks to a lot of criticism and perhaps audience fatigue, the situation has marginally improved over the years. Though we still have the occasional bahu turning into a house-fly, snake, supernatural being, making a trip to the moon on a scooter, hanging on a kite or being romanced by a gorilla, Hindi GEC channels have made an effort to create shows that atleast begin with the promise of progressive thought. But sadly, most of them eventually devolve into sordid sagas or have repetitive conflicts.

The boomers and millennials who grew up watching Tulsi handle her family with tears, slaps, monologues, and, on occasion, even a gun, have all grown up or become older. They have had kids, grandkids, great-grandkids and been exposed to social media, OTT content and smartphones. One can only hope that, since a quarter of a century has passed since we first met the Viranis, they have evolved and their story has saas, bahu, but not half as much saazish. Kyunki, twenty-five years later, all of us deserve better.

Meet Actress Who Got Just Rs 1000 Hike On Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Was The Most Underpaid Actor, Shaved Her Head In Lockdown...Her Name Is

3 / 7 The actress spoke at length about her journey on Siddharth Kannan's podcast on YouTube. During the conversation, she looked back at her experience of working on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. She played Payal Mehra – Mihir's ex-fiancée on the show. Jaya said, 'I was the most underpaid actor. I never got a raise. Only once I asked for a raise, and while everyone got a raise of 2 thousand rupees, I got only 1 thousand. That hit my ego, so I didn't ask for it ever again and hence didn't get a raise for a straight 7 years.' Siddharth asked if other castmates got a raise in those seven years. To which. Jaya said, 'Ohhh yes… woh log toh kahan se kahan paunch gaye." Whether she will be returning for the upcoming reboot of the show or not, is not confirmed.
