Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh's ‘cartoon' joke for Yuzvendra Chahal sparks social media outrage
When Rohit Sharma and his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, joined Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra on the YouTube series Who's the Boss?, no one expected a throwaway quip would go this viral. Yet, during a rapid-fire round of one-word descriptions, Sajdeh's choice of the word 'cartoon' to describe India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal ended up triggering waves of criticism online. What began as light-hearted banter has now become a reminder: even friendly ribbing can cross a line in today's hyper-sensitive digital arena. Here's what we know. When, where, and why the 'cartoon' quip came about During the first episode of the show, Harbhajan and Basra listed the names of well-known Indian cricketers. The game entailed that the couple describe how they feel about the mentioned people in a single word. Rohit Sharma kicked things off, calling Kapil Dev 'Fit,' and Yuvraj Singh 'Very lazy.' He also called Shikhar Dhawan as 'Jatta' meaning friend. But when Yuzvendra Chahal was mentioned, Rohit paused to laugh, flashed a mischievous grin, but struggled to find an apt word. Ritika Sajdeh then said, 'Cartoon. Usually he is a cartoon,' prompting laughter around the set. The comment landed smoothly with Sajdeh's trademark wit, though it quickly jumped off the show's friendly confines. Fans' reaction and call for an apology Within hours, clips of Sajdeh's remark flooded social media. Fans lambasted the label as 'unnecessary' and 'demeaning'. 'Such a shameless behavior,' wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter), 'Imagine the outrage if Anushka had said that.' Another even stated this was the 'Result of the absence of wit, weak vocabulary, getting ahead of herself...,' while others echoed sentiments that mocking someone's appearance or persona, even in jest, was uncalled for. Calls for an apology mounted but neither Sajdeh nor Sharma have publicly responded. Yuzvendra Chahal has also not commented on the situation. Known for his vibrant personality and top-tier leg-spin, he was part of India's 2024 T20 World Cup-winning squad and boasts 121 ODI and 96 T20I wickets. His record as the IPL's leading wicket-taker further cements his status, as noted by ABP Live.

Vinayak Chaturthi date in May 2025: Is it on 29 or 30? Know exact date, rituals, and more
Jyeshtha Vinayak Chaturthi 2025: Vinayak Chaturthi is an auspicious day dedicated to Lord Ganesha, celebrated every month during the Shukla Paksha (bright half) of the lunar calendar. It is believed that worshipping Lord Ganesha on this day brings wisdom, patience, and removes obstacles from life. But there's an important rule: worship of the Moon is avoided on this day. Let's find out when Jyestha Vinayak Chaturthi 2025 will be celebrated, what the correct timings are, and which rituals to follow to receive Lord Ganesha's blessings. What is Vinayak Chaturthi? Vinayak Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaki Chaturthi, falls every month on the Chaturthi tithi (fourth day) of the waxing moon. This day is considered highly sacred and is fully dedicated to worshipping Lord Ganesha, the god of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. It is believed that praying to him on this day helps in gaining patience and intelligence, two vital qualities in life. However, as per traditional beliefs, worshipping Chandra Dev (Moon God) on Vinayak Chaturthi is not allowed, unlike Sankashti Chaturthi, when Moon worship is recommended. Jyeshtha Vinayak Chaturthi 2025 Date: 29 or 30 May? There is often confusion about the exact date of Jyestha Vinayak Chaturthi, especially when the tithi spans across two days. In May 2025, Vinayak Chaturthi will be observed on 30 May 2025, although the tithi begins on 29 May. So, the Jyestha Vinayak Chaturthi 2025 date is Friday, 30 May 2025. Devotees should perform the puja and observe fasting on this day for maximum spiritual benefits. Vinayak Chaturthi 2025 Tithi and Puja Timings According to the Hindu Panchang, the Chaturthi tithi starts at 11:18 AM on 29 May 2025 and ends at 9:22 PM on 30 May 2025. The best time to worship Lord Ganesha on Jyestha Vinayak Chaturthi is from 10:56 AM to 1:42 PM on 30 May 2025. Important Rituals to Follow on Jyestha Vinayak Chaturthi Clean the house and take a bath early in the morning. Place an idol or picture of Lord Ganesha in your puja room. Offer fresh Durva grass, modaks, jaggery, and flowers to the deity. Chant the Ganesh mantra and perform aarti. 2. Fasting Many devotees observe a strict or partial fast on this day. You can have fruits, milk, and water during the fast. Fasting is believed to please Lord Ganesha and remove obstacles from life. Special Remedies According to Your Wishes For Business Success According to ABP Live, if you wish to grow your business, offer 5 pieces of turmeric to Lord Ganesha daily for 10 days starting from Vinayak Chaturthi. While doing so, chant 'Shri Ganadhipataye Namah'. This is believed to bring prosperity and success in professional life. For the Blessing of Children Those seeking children should offer 21 small jaggery balls with Durva grass to Lord Ganesha. This ritual is said to make the deity happy and bless the devotee with a child. Why Is the Moon Not Worshipped on Vinayak Chaturthi? As per mythological tales, once Lord Ganesha cursed the Moon for laughing at him. Since then, seeing or worshipping the Moon on Vinayak Chaturthi is believed to bring false accusations or bad luck. Hence, devotees avoid moon worship on this day, even though it is performed in Sankashti Chaturthi instead. Jyestha Vinayak Chaturthi 2025 will be celebrated on 30 May. The Chaturthi tithi starts from 29 May, but the main day for fasting and performing rituals is 30 May. Follow the proper timings and rituals to receive the divine blessings of Lord Ganesha. Whether you seek wisdom, patience, business success, or a child, performing the right Vinayak Chaturthi rituals with devotion can fulfil your wishes.

Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Katrina Kaif's Financial Acumen Aamir Khan's Profit-Sharing Approach When it comes to managing money in Bollywood, Katrina Kaif stands out as the most financially astute among top stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Aamir Khan. This insight comes from Bimal Parekh, a renowned chartered accountant closely associated with the industry's leading an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bimal Parekh shared his observations about the money management habits of several prominent Bollywood celebrities. He pointed out that Katrina Kaif is notably sharp and actively involved in her financial matters, unlike Ranbir Kapoor and Aamir Khan, whom he described as relatively indifferent to money. Parekh said, 'Katrina Kaif is the sharpest. She takes an interest. Aamir and Ranbir are not that bothered! Then Ritesh Sidhwani and Krishna DK (of Raj-DK director duo) are sharp as well, they understand money.'Parekh's connection with Ranbir Kapoor extends beyond managing his finances; he is also co-owner of Ranbir's football team. Reflecting on the involvement of Ranbir's late father, Rishi Kapoor, Parekh revealed that Rishi had the final say in the team's ownership and insisted that someone from the Kapoor family oversee its operations. According to Parekh, Rishi was open to collaborations but wanted family involvement to ensure proper of the most revealing parts of Parekh's discussion was about Aamir Khan's approach to remuneration. Parekh claims to have been the first to introduce the profit-sharing or backend payment model to Aamir, deviating from the common practice of upfront fees. 'No upfront fee, but profit sharing. This way, Laal Singh Chadha, the studio (Viacom 18) still made money, while Aamir made little,' Parekh explained. He further added that for Dangal, Aamir did earn well from this model. This innovative strategy was introduced when actors typically charged hefty upfront also recalled a conversation with Aamir in which the actor mentioned he intentionally kept his fees low to avoid causing losses for producers. Surprised, Parekh suggested a better alternative was to forgo fees altogether and take a share of profits on the Khan himself spoke candidly at the ABP Live summit about his payment policy, stating, 'I never received any money for Laal Singh Chadha as it didn't do well at the box office. I never get paid until the film makes any profit… I don't regret it either. If the film has not worked well, it is on me to take the responsibility for it.' He explained his preference not to charge based on shooting days, unlike some actors who bill by the number of days regardless of a film's success. Aamir emphasized, 'I can't let my producer suffer for my creatives.'
