Kriti Kharbanda highlights PTSD and unity after Pahalgam attack
Actress Kriti Kharbanda has expressed deep grief over the tragic Pahalgam terror attack, shedding light on the mental trauma endured by the victims' families. Sharing her heartfelt thoughts through an Instagram story, Kriti urged immediate support for those affected.
'There are some thoughts that have been weighing on my heart, and I feel compelled to share them,' Kriti began, addressing the emotional aftermath that often goes unnoticed after such horrifying incidents.
Highlighting the seriousness of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), the Shaadi Mein ZaroorAana star made a strong appeal to the government, mental health professionals, and NGOs to take proactive steps. 'Please don't wait for these families to reach out. Reach out to them. The ones who are gone, are gone. But the ones still here need us. They may never recover, but they can be helped to cope. Every second we wait, the trauma seeps deeper,' she wrote.
Kriti also strongly condemned any association of terrorism with religion, emphasizing that such heinous acts stem from twisted mindsets and not from any faith. 'Terrorism has no religion. It is not the act of a faith, but of individuals with a cowardly mindset,' she stated.
She stressed that the attack was intended not just to create fear, but to sow division among people. 'We must not let it. There are no good or bad religions. We never attribute kindness to religion, so why blame religion for violence? Doing so is unfair and dangerous,' Kriti pointed out.
Concluding her powerful message, the Guest iin London actress reminded everyone of the need for unity and healing. 'We are not expected to move past this. But we can learn to move with it... Together,' she wrote, calling for compassion, resilience, and solidarity in the face of tragedy.

Reports confirm she suffered a cardiac arrest and was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Andheri, Mumbai, where she was tragically declared dead on arrival. The hospital receptionist stated, 'Shefali had expired before she was brought in. Her husband and a few others accompanied the body.' I want to be known as the Kaanta Laga girl till… Just ten months ago, Shefali reflected on her iconic tag during a candid interview on Paras Chhabra's podcast. She said, 'There can be only one Kaanta Laga girl in the whole world, and that is me … I want to be known as the Kaanta Laga girl till the day I die.' She remained fiercely proud of how a single remix could shape her legacy—'It wasn't about the clothes—it was the attitude … That's what threw people off, not what I was wearing.' Originating from the 1971 movie Samadhi, the remix of Kaanta Laga in 2002 became the vanguard of India's remix wave. Shefali recounted how the song ignited both fascination and debate—'Kaanta Laga was one of the first big songs of the remix wave. It started a new era in music.' Paras Chhabra humorously recalled getting scolded at home over the cassette featuring her bold photo—a sign of just how provocative the vibe had become. From pop-video fame to Bollywood and reality TV Post-Kaanta Laga, Shefali transitioned to Bollywood, appearing in 2004's Mujhse Shaadi Karogi alongside Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Priyanka Chopra—reprising her electrifying presence in a reprise of the hit song.

A sudden passing The news of her passing has hit hard. Bigg Boss friends Rashami Desai and Himanshi Khurana shared poignant grief. Rashami wrote, 'I am still trying to process the news … You will be deeply missed, gone too soon.' Himanshi commented, 'Bigg Boss, that place is cursed, I think.' Shefali is survived by her husband, actor Parag Tyagi. She leaves behind not just a career, but an attitude and an iconic moment that defined pop culture for a generation. While the cause of death is still under investigation and awaiting official statements, her unique spirit—fierce, fearless, unforgettable—will continue to resonate in the music, screens, and hearts she once lit up.

Jordon Hudson torches Bill Belichick's ex Linda Holliday after discovering letter she now calls ‘delusional'
Jordon Hudson hits back at Linda Holliday's private letter in fiery online feud over Bill Belichick (Getty Images) Things are heating up off the football field for former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, but this time, the drama isn't about playbooks—it's about a fiery love triangle making waves on social media. His current girlfriend, 24-year-old pageant contestant Jordon Hudson, has allegedly taken direct aim at his longtime ex-partner Linda Holliday in a now-viral Instagram exchange. Instagram war explodes as Jordon Hudson exposes Linda Holliday's 'delusional' letter to Bill Belichick According to the Daily Mail, Hudson was engaged in a heated back-and-forth with someone she believed to be close to Holliday. The argument ignited when the woman allegedly branded Hudson a 'gold digger' and accused her of taking advantage of the 73-year-old NFL legend. Hudson, however, did not hold back in her response and delivered a blistering message that included references to a letter Holliday wrote to Belichick nearly a decade ago. 'Hey babes! Since you are tight with Ms Holliday, would you please ask her what she would like me to do with this letter I found from 2015?' Hudson reportedly wrote in a message shared via screenshot. She added, 'Due to its pathetic and embarrassing content, I imagine she wants it back. She should make the point to burn it so she continue [sic] to live in delusional denial.' The letter in question was supposedly found by Hudson at Belichick's $2.2 million Hingham home in an old invoice file. In it, Holliday had allegedly poured out her frustrations over being excluded from aspects of Belichick's life and his ongoing loyalty to ex-wife Debbie Clarke. Holliday had written, 'I'm the one that loves and adores you... tries to ALWAYS remind you how grateful I am of your love,' expressing feelings of being sidelined in favor of Clarke, despite her love and commitment to the coach. Belichick and Holliday were together for 16 years before parting ways in 2023. Shortly after, Belichick's romance with Hudson became public. The couple reportedly first met on a flight in 2021 and have since been spotted attending high-profile events, including the NFL Honors. But Hudson's entry into Belichick's world has been far from seamless. Page Six reports that she has been 'iced out' by Nantucket's elite social scene—where Holliday remains a central figure. Her growing influence in Belichick's post-Patriots chapter has raised eyebrows too, especially after she was seen on the field at UNC, where Belichick has taken a new role. Some reports suggest she's even being looped into work emails and possibly pitching involvement in media projects like Hard Knocks. Despite the noise, Belichick has publicly defended Hudson, stating she leads his 'professional opportunities' outside UNC. Whether this storm settles or intensifies remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: this isn't your typical offseason drama.
