'New wifey role': Veronika Rajek's love confession to Tom Brady sparks fury after Gisele Bündchen heartbreak
In late 2022, just weeks after NFL icon Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen confirmed their highly publicized divorce, Slovakian model Veronika Rajek made headlines with a bold declaration that turned internet whispers into a tabloid storm.
The Instagram influencer, already no stranger to controversy, stunned fans and critics alike with her open admiration for Brady following her attendance at a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game.
A public love note that lit up the internet
On December 6, 2022, Rajek posted photos and a video from the game alongside a heartfelt message: 'I saw the LEGEND, and if somebody asks me again if I love Brady, yes, I love him, and show me somebody who doesn't. Even his haters love him because they know he is the 🐐 @tombrady.
Thank you for an amazing show #GOATFOREVER.'
The internet, of course, responded in typical fashion. Fans speculated whether Rajek was making a play for the newly single quarterback, while trolls accused her of trying to step into Bündchen's shoes. One comment read, 'Tell me you're applying for that new wifey role without telling me you're applying for that new wifey role,' while others bluntly warned Brady to stay away.

Facing online hate, Veronika Rajek stood firm on body positivity
Rajek, who boasts millions of followers and a history of modeling for major brands, has long been a lightning rod for both admiration and criticism.

Thus, the moment Mukesh Khanna announced that 'Shaktimaan' is being adapted for a feature-length title, the audience couldn't contain their excitement. It's been a couple of years since the announcement, and the cinephiles are still waiting for the release. Recently, while speaking to a news agency, Mukesh Khanna confessed that the movie has encountered an obstacle. Discussing the delay with IANS, Mukesh Khanna said that the movie is ready to captivate audiences, but has hit a roadblock. When asked to describe the roadblock, the actor wasn't too clear and gave a vague reply. However, he also expressed confidence that the film will eventually be released in theaters, saying that it is an important film. The next Shaktimaan Earlier this year, Mukesh Khanna returned to the screen in his superhero avatar. It was for a patriotic song, which led to the speculation that he would reprise his role as 'Shaktimaan.' Clarifying the same in a post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, "I have come to clarify a misconception which a section of my viewers are started having that through this song and press conference I had come to declare to the world that I will be the next Shaktimaan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free Movie Tickets Search Now Undo Online Ticketing Support Search Now Undo Ticket Selling Platform Search Now Undo Totally wrong.

Secondly I have not come to prove or show that I am better than Ranveer Singh or any one who will wear the mantle of Shaktimaan. Become the next Shaktimaan," mentioned the actor.
