Hindustan Times30-05-2025

Janhvi recently liked an Instagram Reel that drew a comparison between her mother, Sridevi, and Madhuri Dixit. The reel in question split the screen, juxtaposing two performances – one by Madhuri Dixit and the other by Sridevi.
On one side, Madhuri Dixit's iconic dance sequence Dhak Dhak Karne Laga from the film Beta plays, with overlaid text reading, 'Madhuri in Beta - Did vulgar step song and did nothing in the movie and won Filmfare Best Actress award'.
On the other side, Sridevi is shown in Khuda Gawah, which was also released in 1992, where she is seen giving an emotional speech. It came with text which read, 'Did double role with landmark acting that carried whole movie on her shoulder still Filmfare ignored her for Best Actress'.
Notably, both films were released around the same time in 1992 – Beta starring Madhuri Dixit hit theatres on April 3, while Sridevi's film was released on May 8.

A screenshot of Janhvi's like on the reel has emerged on social media, especially on Reddit, sparking a debate among fans. One wrote, 'This is not the first time Sridevi was ignored ! She has given many powerful award winning performances'.
The comments section is divided, with some users defending Madhuri's performances, while others feel Sridevi was under-appreciated.
'Not only this, Sridevi didn't get award for her Splendid performance in Laadla, Gumrah, Judaai, English Vinglish.. And unfortunately in 1986 and 1987 filmfare function was not happened, sri lost award for Mr. India and Nagina,' read one comment. One fan shared, 'Are we really surprised? This is Bollywood — it values dance, appearances, and glamour. No one cares about acting skills or talent'.
One social media dismissed the debate as pointless, writing, 'All you guys need to get a life... I mean Madhuri vulgar in dhak dhak.... She was absolutely fantastic and show stellar in this song'.
Meanwhile, others passionately argued over the merits of each actor's performances, with some labelling Madhuri's iconic song Dhak Dhak as sexy and fantastic.
'Madhuri Dixit without any doubt over Sridevi in khuda gawah for this year.... Madhuri was absolutely terrific in Beta,' one comment read. Another fan shared, 'Sorry but khuda guwah was not that good movie'.
'There is nothing vulgar about Dhak Dhak. It's so sexy,' shared one.
'Even she will come up with the algorithm story now," one social media user wrote on Reddit, referring to the controversy involving Virat Kohli and Tamannaah Bhatia, who claimed their Instagram accounts 'accidentally liked" a reel featuring Avneet Kaur and Deepika Padukone, respectively.
Janhvi recently went to the 78th Cannes Film Festival for the world premiere and screening of her upcoming film Homebound. She will also be seen in Param Sundari opposite Sidharth Malhotra.

MAGA singer's Canada gigs cancelled: Backlash over Sean Feucht's anti-diversity views; organisers cite safety risks

Sean Feuch (Picture: Instagram) US singer Sean Feucht's permit to hold a concert at the York Redoubt National Historic Site in Halifax was cancelled this week by Parks Canada. Officials cited safety concerns following public backlash against his anti-2SLGBTQ+, anti-women's rights, and anti-diversity remarks on social media. Feucht, a religious performer with links to the MAGA movement, was scheduled to perform on Wednesday. His permits for other events in Charlottetown (P.E.I.), Moncton (New Brunswick), and some parts of Quebec were also revoked soon after. LGBTQ+ groups welcomed the decision. Cameron Cassidy, head of Pride P.E.I., said, 'The City of Charlottetown absolutely did the right thing by revoking that permit. It shows respect for the queer community.' But not everyone agreed. James Turk, director at Toronto Metropolitan University's Centre for Free Expression, said cancelling a permit over a person's views is dangerous. 'The foundation of democracy is public discourse, including ideas we disagree with,' he said. 'Censorship only amplifies such voices.' Feucht later performed at a private venue in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, hosted by pastors Christine and Neil Barr. They said they faced hundreds of hate messages and some protests but went ahead with the show. In response to criticism, Feucht posted: 'If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, no one would've cared. But my Christian beliefs are seen as a threat.' Opponents said his views go against Parks Canada's values of inclusion and safety. Turk countered that while physical safety must be ensured, 'a subjective feeling of being unsafe' isn't legal grounds to silence someone.
