G-Dragon REACTS to allegations that BTS's J-Hope ‘copied' him
After BTS member J-Hope was accused of 'copying' BIGBANG's G-Dragon during Paris Fashion Week, the latter has finally responded in a way that has managed to garner a lot of attention online. Earlier this week, J-Hope, along with various other names in K-pop like GOT7's Jackson, Mark and BamBam , attended the Paris Fashion Week. While most were excited about the attendance, some netizens were quick to accuse the BTS rapper of 'copying' G-Dragon's style. A video of the idol taken by a fan had gone viral online after he was seen entering and exiting a popular luxury brand's headquarters. While covered in bling head to toe, most fans were delighted to see the idol's new style. The video, however, earned a lot of criticism after fans of G-Dragon called him out, saying that the new style was a direct copy of what the BIGBANG member has been doing for years. G-Dragon reacts While netizens were criticising J-Hope for his new style at Paris Fashion Week, it was G-Dragon who made the first move in the most subtle way. The BIGBANG member ended up liking a post that featured the BTS member in Paris, thus putting an end to the speculations and showing his support for the 'Killin' It Girl' singer himself. Fans react G-Dragon's activity on social media garnered a lot of attention, both positive and negative. While some cited that the idol was showing his support to put an end to unnecessary hate, others started criticising him instead. Some netizens, however, took over and defended both of the idols, calling people out for saying that the situation is being blown out of proportion. One fan commented, 'Why can't you accept they have a healthy senior and junior relationship?. And even without this, Gd likes everything; I got a few from him too, so I'm being stalked by him?'

It's confirmed! Ammy Virk not replacing Diljit Dosanjh in Border 2: Just speculation, no call yet, says Ammy's team
Several reports suggest that the makers of Border 2 are considering dropping singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh from the film following controversy over casting Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3. However, we exclusively learnt that there's no change in the casting, as half the film has been shot. While some reports also suggested that actor-singer Ammy Virk would be replacing Diljit in Border 2, we have exclusively learnt that it's not true. Diljit Dosanjh; (right) Ammy Virk(Photos: Instagram) A source from Ammy's team tells us, 'These are just speculations. We haven't got any call from anyone as of now.' Diljit is facing the heat for co-starring with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in his upcoming movie, Sardaar Ji 3. While the film won't be released in India, it is slated for release outside the domestic market, including Pakistan. Amid all this, film bodies are writing to filmmakers, actors and the government, urging them to drop him from upcoming Hindi releases, including Border 2. However, we reported that there are no plans to replace Diljit. A highly-placed source close to the production said, 'There is no plan to replace or remove Diljit from Border 2. His casting was confirmed nearly nine months ago, long before the recent unfortunate incidents. Nearly half the film has already been shot, and any replacement at this stage would be logistically unfeasible." On June 25, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees had written letters addressed to Bhushan Kumar (co-producer of Border 2) and actor Sunny Deol, asking them to disassociate from their collaboration with Diljit. However, both of them are yet to reply to the letters. When we reached out to the makers of Border 2 — Nidhi Dutta and Bhushan — our efforts weren't met with a response at the time of going to press. Meanwhile, on Friday, FWICE wrote a letter urging Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah to withdraw the permission granted for the shooting of the film Border 2 at the National Defence Academy (NDA) premises in Pune. Sources claim that the film's team may issue a statement soon.
