Antony Varghese recounts scary flight experience after wrapping 'I'm Game' second schedule
Antony Varghese recently recollected a harrowing flight experience after concluding the second production schedule of his upcoming film, I'm Game, in Hyderabad. The actor's journey back to Kochi turned into an unexpected ordeal. "Still in awe of what happened yesterday," Antony wrote on Instagram. "After wrapping up the shoot for I'm Game, I boarded Indigo 6E 6707 from Hyderabad to Kochi. What seemed like a routine flight turned into something straight out of a movie." When the Indigo flight approached Kochi, the weather took a dramatic turn. Antony detailed the suspenseful moments: "As we approached Kochi, the weather turned wild. The first landing attempt was aborted just a few feet above the runway. The second try was even more intense, we were right there, almost touching down, when the pilot made a split-second decision to pull up and not land. Without even brushing the runway, she lifted the aircraft back into the skies. Goosebumps." Antony lauded the professionalism of the crew during the crisis. "With incredible calm and clarity, she diverted the flight to Coimbatore for refueling. You could feel the tension in the cabin, people were panicked, shaken. But the way the crew, all women, handled the situation was nothing short of inspiring." After the diversion and refueling in Coimbatore, the flight successfully took off again and landed safely in Kochi. Antony described the collective relief in the cabin: "After refueling, we took off again and finally landed safely in Kochi. As soon as the wheels touched down, the cabin erupted into applause." Antony concluded his account with a heartfelt tribute to the flight crew. "To the phenomenal women in the cockpit and the cabin, your quick decisions, precision, and professionalism turned a terrifying situation into a moment of deep respect and gratitude. Thank you for showing us what true grace under pressure looks like." Nahas Hidhayath, known for RDX, directs I'm Game, a film billed as a mass entertainer with a significant sports element. The film is a collaborative effort, with Sajeer Baba, Bilal Moidu, and Ismail Aboobacker scripting it, and Aadarsh Sukumaran and Shahabas Rasheed penning the dialogues.

This 90s star was forced to beg for a living, her life was ruined after marriage, now she is..., her name is...
The personal life of some actors who shine in films is not as great as it appears on screen. There have been many such celebrities whose real life was like hell. Many actors are stars in the industry, but in their personal lives, either they are suffering from something, or they have suffered for their entire lives. This actress, who is considered a known face from the 90s, lost all his shine, especially after getting married. Telugu Actress Vasuki Here we are talking about actress Vasuki aka Pakeeza, who once made a name for herself in Telugu cinema, is currently facing financial difficulties. Vasuki, who won the hearts of the audience by acting in many successful films in the 1990s, is now living in poverty. Pakeeza's real name is Vasukii. She hails from Karaikudi in Sivagangai district of Tamil Nadu and has made a name for herself in the Telugu film industry by acting in many popular films. She became famous for her role as Pakeeza in Mohan Babu's film 'Assembly Rowdy'. After that, she worked in many hit films like 'Rowdy Gari Pellam', 'Mama Garu', 'Rowdy Inspector', 'Chittemma Mogudu', 'Brahma', 'Pedarayudu', 'Rowdy MLA', 'Amma Resign', 'Seetharatnam Gari Abbayya' and 'Annamayya'. Vasuki And Her Troubled Personal Life While she was busy in the film industry, she joined the AIADMK party on the call of the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. Since then, she has been away from films. She worked as the official spokesperson of AIADMK and fell in love with a man named Rajkumar and married him. However, she faced harassment as her in-laws did not want her to get married. Furthermore, Vasuki expressed her grief that her husband was addicted to alcohol and wasted all her wealth and gold. Vasuki's Endless Hurdles Later, the situation worsened when her husband committed suicide. She went to her mother, who had already lost her father. She said that she had spent all her money on her mother's treatment as she was suffering from cancer. Vasuki said that as long as Jayalalithaa was alive, she did not face any problems, but after her death, the situation has completely changed. He said that now it has become difficult to live and sometimes she is even ready to beg. Since no one in Tamil Nadu is paying attention to this, Vasuki hopes to meet Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan to express their support. If the government provides pension facility, she will get some financial appreciation. She also said that if needed, she will also campaign for them again.
