Out of curiosity can I ask WHY some sectors of Bollywood tumblr don’t like Katrina Kaif? She seems cool so I’m just wondering

This needs to be answered in some detail and I shall do so. You’ve woken the dragon.

I’m assuming you are new to Bollywood; in which case: here’s the rundown- Katrina Kaif is an Indo-British actress, one of Bollywood’s most easily recognisable faces, highest paid actresses and one with a higher success ratio than many contemporaries. She is hailed as one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful Bollywood actress of the still active crop.Why do people hate her? To answer that, I’ll divide the people who are against Katrina into some broad categories:

1. “She is beautiful but that’s it”

There are many who feel Katrina represents the Eurocentric standards of beauty with her fair complexion and British accent (I quote from one of her own films “Silky hair, milky skin- she’s like a walking-talking vanilla ice cream”). In most of her films, it is her aesthetic than her acting abilities that is celebrated because- there can be no other way to put this- she is absolutely, ridiculously beautiful. Fitoor, where Katrina played Estella Havisham was like a two hour photoshoot of Kat, a sort of tribute to her beauty where the cameraman seemed to be enamored by her (reportedly, although it is a rumour, Rekha, the original choice for Miss Havisham, walked out because she felt Katrina was looking too beautiful, overshadowing her…..sounds ridiculous but the fact that such a rumour should spread shows the public image of Katrina’s presentation in films, as the art rather than the artist). Shobaa De called her “as beautiful as an English rose…and just as dull”.

Why is this bothering? Well, there are thousands of amazing, dark skinned aspiring Indian actresses who are still shamed for their complexion and denied major movie roles. Where Katrina is held as the ideal of beauty, people like Radhika Apte and Huma Qureshi are treated looks-wise with some disdain. It’s an Ashara Dayne- Elia Martell case.What is ironical is that in no way is this Katrina’s fault. What people twist into her flaw is really a revelation of our sick mentality where till this day we worship peachy complexions and turn our noses down on anything less than porcelain-pale. Also, pretty much all our so-called “desi” stars have endorsed fairness creams, often through advertisements that target dark people as pitiful creatures. So, as Abhay Deol rightly called them out, it’s not the biracial Katrina herself per se, but the societal standards that have brought about this sad state of affairs.

2. “She piggybanks on others”

Ah, a classic. Since her debutante days, Katrina did largely minor roles in male-dominated films (mostly Salman or Akshay) the mindset is that she has attained her success because of them. To an extent I agree that Salman did serve as her godfather for her earlier career but??? to reduce her to Salman’s charity project is unfair, unjust and demeaning. And Katrina cannot win, no matter what she does. She was great in Namastey London? Well, she was just playing herself. (How criminal that an Indo-Brit should play an Indo-Brit. Tsk. The times.) She was great in New York? Well, Kabir Khan is her sugar daddy, we been knew. She was great in Raajneeti/ZNMD? But it was a multi-starrer! Tiger Zinda Hai? Ah, she finally scored a hit with a meaty role but….it was SALMAN BHAI who helped her!

While almost every actress or actor has had a godfather of some sort, Katrina faces the brunt of it because she has scored so many hits, nay, blockbusters. Instead of appreciating how she holds her own beside them, everything she does is a direct result of their godly manna. Her success is parried down to the Khans, long after she has become her own woman. Cruelly, when she does embark on brave projects with strong roles, the audience roll their eyes and ignore it- refer to when I went to watch Phantom (counter-terrorism drama, one of Kat’s best) at the theatre and one guy, I swear, remarked “it’d be more fun if she took off her clothes”. Also refer to Fitoor where one person, who was clearly unaware of either Great Expectations or the character of Estella, said that Katrina is acting stone-cold towards the hero cause she can’t act at all.

This, coupled with the Barbie doll image, has led to Katrina being projected as a sweet but altogether passive person. She doesn’t do “fiery roles” of empowering acts. She serves Sansa instead of Daenerys. And we all know how that goes. Fun fact: Katrina now is nothing less than the Diana Prince of Bollywood, an action queen through and through and her recent project TZH had her snatch wigs, purses and weaves away from Salman Bhai’s altar. BBC London mentioned her to be the best part of the film, as did most critics. Her role in MBKD had been cited as one of the most interesting female roles of 2011. Meanwhile Bollywood Tumblr “sHe cAN onLY dANCe”.

3.“she is a diva with attitude”

Apparently people have had some bad experiences with Kat who is known to be very private and guarded. Recently a woman in Vancouver insulted her and told her to improve her attitude. There are also several anonymous users on Quora who posted that she is rude at the airport. I have not personally met her but I was lucky enough to interact with some fans who did and they all assured me she was graceful and kind. I do not know if she is rude at airports or in the gym or whatnot; what I do know is that almost all her co-stars said that she is a sheer delight to work with. What I do know is that she provided food and water to paps who were waiting outside her house in the hot sun. What I do know is that I visited a publishing house because I was lucky enough to win some merch signed by her and one of the journalists there, a friend of mine, said that Katrina is one of the most polite stars she’d ever met, dignified, cheerful, guarded yet friendly. In an industry where female stars are thrown into a veritable fighting pit since their debut, she is close to almost all the leading actresses and has an excellent rapport with them. She gets along famously well with every co-star, not easy when you have worked with such a wide variety of them. Just see her Instagram, it’s mostly Kat hyping everybody else.

4. “RANPIKA BROKE UP CAUSE OF HER!” “SALMAN BHAI, LITERAL HUMAN ANGEL WAS DEVASTATED BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T STAY WITH HIM!” “SHE DOESN’T DESERVE SALMAN!” “SHE DOESN’T DESERVE ANYBODY!”

Scum of the Earth. Please do ignore if the anti arguments fall along this line. They are usually the type of stans who lick the star’s shoes clean with their own drooble if needed, act as if they have been privy witness to every detail of their fave’s life, do not understand toxic relationships, calling them ‘cute bantering’, and like to slut shame women for a pastime, while ignoring abusers and criminals at the same time.

5. “She’s undeserving of the success she enjoys, cause she is a pathetic actress”

A very interesting segment of antis had risen during the time Katrina won the prestigious Smita Patil award for her contribution to cinema. Their self-righteous claim was that there were a thousand other deserving actresses who should have won. They fail to see that Katrina’s hard work and investment has paid off, and thus they reduce her to her male colleagues, her beauty, her sex appeal. These antis are of the overall same degree and type as those who still believe Kristen Stewart is a bad actress. Y'know, the ones who sigh in faux-piety and go “he/she’s cancelled” about 50 times a day. These are the ones without perspective, who do not see the point of growth and influence. By that logic, anybody with diligence who lacks a natural-born ability should be a useless liability in society. They should be undeserving appendages, rather than people who deserve credit for their efforts. I quote from one of my Twitter posts I made a while back:

“Katrina didn’t get daunted by obstacles.This babe dared to step into an industry speaking a completely foreign tongue, as Chinese would be to us, & made it on her own. She accepted the challenge & owned it. ….(She) has worked her skin off to achieve the superstardom she enjoys today. The results are that she was the only female star to be mentioned in the National Award winning film Filmistaan, and she enjoys monumental popularity among the younger demographic.“

There is a reason Marilyn Monroe, Suchitra Sen are remembered despite them not being the best ability wise. A star is not just born out of talent. A star is also born out of the ability to captivate the minds of the audience, by charm, by persona or elsewise. This is no small feat but Kat can do that. I do not mean to compare her to these iconic women, but am making an analogy. She has screen presence. She is a star. Like it or not, she shines very, very bright. Is it her fault that she is successful? Beautiful? Hardworking? That directors come to her with scripts? What is she supposed to do, reject them? Well boohoo, I have news for you.

Besides, and this is what is most hilarious, Katrina is actually one of the most unproblematic stars of Bollywood, especially amusing when you look at the sheer number of the haters. She went to this talk show and there was this bitchy Never-Have-I-Ever segment of strip and tell where you’d have to roast your colleagues and Katrina chose to start taking off accessories and shoes instead of dragging her co-stars! Problematic! Toxic! Awful!

”……A very important thing that most overlook is that Katrina has on notable occasions spoken up for body positivity & freedom of identity. Her role in Bombay Talkies had her encourage a gender fluid person to accept himself & speak up on transsexuality…..(she ) has always remained supportive of her female colleagues, promoting their films on her own social media, praising them at every opportunity. Feminism. Done right.“

In summary, if you’re looking to criticise, you’ll find flaws in everybody, each and every Bollywood star. Mostly Katrina Kaif but also many others. She has her haters, they are vicious. But, on a better note, it doesn’t affect her. I raise you this superior bit of tea I found from this one cinephile’s Twitter thread:

I may have gotten too passionate and written too much. Forgive me. But also, you have my answer.

Troy could have never expected how wild, and in turn, how hot this whole situation would get. He still was very much oblivious to the curse that had started it all, although in hindsight it probably should be considered much more of a blessing. In all honesty, Troy had never felt happier or more fulfilled than he did these days, and all it had taken was to shed his inhibitions. Admittedly, the jock had never been the brightest bulb in the first place, but the toxic image of masculinity that stereotypes had embedded in his thinking had absolutely kept him from experiencing some things that he now was fully embracing. Who knew what could've happened if he'd always known just how damn good it felt to get your ass eaten and fucked? How there was nothing better in the world than taking your bro's dick, or that of his father? There was little more left on Troy's mind than the urge to get his muscle ass used, and honestly, the way that his favorite father-and-son duo knew how to do it left him fully satisfied and constantly needy for more.

"Thanks, Daddy", the himbo replied with a proud grin, moaning happily as Sameer's lips found his own and he kissed the older man with a hungry passion. A daddy kink certainly was another thing that Troy never would have expected to have, but now that he had dared to explore it, he simply couldn't get enough anymore, Sameer proving just as addictive as his son. Groaning happily as he switched back and forth between making out with the two of them, Troy's eyes were glowing with ecstatic eagerness, like a kid in a candy store. "Mhhhfckyh!", he groaned, his moan muffled by Abhay's lips while he felt Sameer play with his nipples.

He pouted playfully for a moment as he was nudged off the sofa, soon grinning eagerly as Troy knew he was about to be reunited with two contenders for his favorite parts about Abhay and Sameer. The jock licked his lips in lust as both dicks got exposed, both of them looking delicious. Troy loved the similarities between father and son just as much as the little differences, and he definitely couldn't choose a favorite between their cocks either. Reaching out and grasping each one with one hand, he stroked them both slowly at once, leaning in to wrap his lips around one, then the other, then the first one again, eagerly alternating between them as he sloppily began sucking, trying to take them each deeper every time and get them nice and wet, glistening with his saliva and their precum.

@scnsuality continued from here

Abhay had never thought the curse would work so well even after the 'expiration' came and pass. Perhaps Troy was always like this and just needed help to shed those inhibitions. Abhay loved having Troy around, but the plus was Sameer didn't mind anymore either. While father and son had shared a fuck once before, it had never been as regular as this. Sameer had invited Troy all the time to the point Abhay had come home to find his father using Troy's muscle ass. Instead of getting upset, Abhay usually joined in the other end.

"Good boy," replied Sameer, who refused to use the 'bro' that the two used. He preferred to be called Daddy, even with his son there. "You better use those words while you can after all," he added before caressing the other's jaw and leaning in for a kiss. Sameer's plump lips pressed against Troy's before the tongue slipped through. Abhay meanwhile leaned in on the other side and began kissing and biting on Troy's strong neck. The two loved leaving marks all over Troy so that everyone could see he was taken.

"My turn," said Abhay before he grabbed that jaw himself and turned Troy around so the two bros could make out. Sameer merely chuckled before adding his own marks on the other side. Hand reached for those nipples, as the two made Troy wear only underwear and slippers around their home so they could use him whenever. Abhay's hands squeezed the big thighs before finally pulling away.

"Now your turn," they both said at once as they nudged him to slide off the sofa. There used to be a coffee table there, but it was moved in favor of more space for Troy to serve the two of them. The duo shifted closer together so that when they took their own underwear off, their hard uncut cocks bounced in the air. Sameer had a longer cock, but Abhay was the thicker one of the two, though the difference was only by an inch or so. "Get us nice and wet," ordered Abhay

Bollywood Anti-Racism Backlash For Promoting Skin Lightening

New Post has been published on https://thekolsocial.com/bollywood-anti-racism-backlash-for-promoting-skin-lightening/

Bollywood Anti-Racism Backlash For Promoting Skin Lightening

[vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” content_text_aligment=”” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Bollywood Anti-Racism Backlash For Promoting Skin Lightening

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”26px”][vc_column_text]

Critics call out Bollywood anti-racism protests for a film industry helps feed India’s obsession with fair skin.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”26px”][vc_column_text]

Several Bollywood stars have been labelled “hypocrites” after speaking out against racism to lend support to global protests while promoting products in India designed to make people’s skin lighter. A series of A-list Bollywood actresses, including Priyanka Chopra, shared posts on social media to protest against the death of George Floyd who died in police custody after a white officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. “End this race war here in the U.S., and around the world. Wherever you live, whatever your circumstances, NO ONE deserves to die, especially at the hands of another because of their skin color,” Chopra, 37, posted on Instagram. ⁣⁣⁣People were quick to call her out on social media for previously promoting an “intense fairness moisturiser”.

They also pointed at her role in 2008 Hindi film “Fashion” in which she is ashamed of having sex with a black man. “Thanks for speaking out for black lives. But, maybe also stop supporting a skin bleaching cream which promotes anti-blackness,” one user replied to Chopra’s Instagram post.

Chopra, a former Miss World who became a star in both Bollywood and Hollywood, has said in past interviews that she regretted endorsing such a product as a young actress and that she is proud of her dark skin. She was not immediately available to comment.

Actresses Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani also faced criticism for their anti-racism social media posts while having featured in ads for skin fairness products. India’s multi billion-dollar skin lightening industry has a host of products appearing to offer dark-skinned Indians a lighter, fairer and better version of themselves, often endorsed by the Bollywood’s top actors.

After years of criticism and campaigns against such products, many brands moved to calling them “skin brightening”, “whitening” or “lightening” creams and face washes. “Most brands no longer want to be associated directly with being termed as ‘fairness creams’,” said actor Abhay Deol, a vocal critic of fairness products and Bollywood’s support.

Critics say the film industry helps feed India’s obsession with fair skin and bias against darker faces, with many pointing out it fails to represent the diversity of Indians. For example, actors from southern states where most people are darker-skinned are rarely in mainstream Bollywood films. Last year, the film “Bala” featured the story of a woman who suffered discrimination because of her complexion and actress Bhumi Pednekar had her skin darkened to play the role.

Social media users also questioned why Bollywood continued to write lyrics and dialogues that equated fairness with beauty. Kangana Ranaut, a noted actress, spoke out against her Bollywood colleagues for promoting fairness products. “These people, especially Indian celebrities, the successful ones … have been endorsing all kinds of fairness products and today shamelessly they stand and say black lives matter – I mean how dare they?” she told the BBC in an interview last week.

Indian-American comedian Hasan Minhaj took on Bollywood for the endorsements as well on his news-comedy programme “Patriot Act” on Netflix.

Mithila Palkar "Dared" To Take The Jennifer Lopez Superbowl Challenge. Here's How She Did

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/mithila-palkar-dared-to-take-the-jennifer-lopez-superbowl-challenge-heres-how-she-did/

Mithila Palkar "Dared" To Take The Jennifer Lopez Superbowl Challenge. Here's How She Did

Mithila Palkar in a still from her video (courtesy mipalkarofficial)

Highlights

Mithila shared a video of her dancing

“Dared to do the JLo Superbowl Challenge,” she wrote

“It felt so rejuvenating,” she added

New Delhi:

Mithila Palkar just reminded us of Jennifer Lopez’s power-packed performance at the Superbowl half-time this year! Since JLo and Shakira’s dance party on the Superbowl stage in February this year, the JLo Superbowl half-time challenge has become a favourite one on TikTok and other platflorms. Several weeks later, but Mithila Palkar did contribute to the JLo Superbowl Challenge with a video of her own. She shared it on Instagram and wrote: “Dared to do the JLo Superbowl Challenge.” It requires you to dance to perform your favourite piece of choreography from Jennifer Lopez’s performance at the Superbowl and Mithila picked the most viral segment from it – when JLo grooved to a remixed version of Lento by Nfasis and J balvin.

Mithila, who is also exploring several options to keep herself busy during quarantine, added in her post that she learnt the steps only last evening: “Growing up, I always learnt dance by watching videos on YouTube. I watched them a few million times until I could fairly emulate the steps (and until Swarali came into my life to actually teach me!). Last evening, after many years, I spent my time learning this choreography on YouTube. It felt so rejuvenating!”

So, how did she do?

Here’s how Jennifer Lopez had set the Superbowl stage on fire:

Mithila Palkar is best known for her role as Kavya in the web series Little Things, which now streams on Netflix. Mithila made her Bollywood debut in Nikhil Advani directed Katti Batti, co-starring Kangana Ranaut. She starred opposite Dulquer Salmaan in Karwaan, which was her first Bollywood film in a lead role. Mithila also headlined Netflix film Chopsticks, co-starring Abhay Deol. Mithila has another Netflix film Tribhanga in the line-up.

Abhai Singh of Marwar - Wikipedia

Maharaja Abhai Singh Rathore (7 November 1702 – 18 June 1749) was the Raja of Marwar (Jodhpur) Kingdom (r. 24 June 1724 – 18 June 1749).[1][2]

Coronation

The Six Sons of Maharaja Ajit Singh of Jodhpur on a Visit

Abhai Singh was crowned on the death of this father Maharaja Ajit Singh who himself was killed by a conspiracy of Abhai Singh and Bakht Singh. He was nonetheless as fearless as his father.

Khejarli Massacre

In 1726, Maharaja Abhai Singh of Marwar granted the estate of Khejarli to Thakur Surat Singh, who he became the first 'Thakur of Khejarli'.

In 1730, under his order, a minister Giridhar Bhandari, led a royal party to the Khejarli village with the intention of felling some Khejri trees that were sacred to the villagers. The trees were to be burned to produce lime for the construction of a new palace.

A local woman called Amrita Devi Bishnoi protested against the tree-felling because such acts were prohibited by the Bishnoi's religion. The feudal party said that they would only cease if she paid them a bribe, which she refused to do because she saw that as ignominious and an insult to her faith. She said that she would rather give away her life to save the trees. She and her three daughters (Asu, Ratni and Bhagu) were then killed by the party.[3]

News of the deaths spread and summons to a meeting were sent to 84 Bishnoi villages. The meeting determined that one Bishnoi volunteer would sacrifice their life for every tree that was cut down. Older people began hugging the trees that were intended to be cut and many were killed.[3]

These efforts failed to have the desired impact and Bhandari claimed that the Bishnois were sacrificing ageing people whom they no longer saw as useful to society. In response to this, young men, women and children began to follow the example of the old. 363 Bishnois died in the incident.[3]

The development shocked the tree-felling party. The group left for Jodhpur with their mission unfulfilled and the Maharaja Abhai Singh of Marwar subsequently ordered that no more trees should be felled.[3][4][5]

March against Sarbalund

The Padshah was distraught by the news of revolt of Sarbalund but no one in his court dared fight against Sarbalund. When an open challenge was made in court, only Maharaja Abhai Singh took the bida. On his way to Ahmedabad, Abhai first met the Jaipur prince at Pushkar. Abhai Singh took route to Sirohi whose king in fear of desolation against such a big Marwar Army, presented his daughter in marriage to Abhi Singh, Ram singh was scion born of this wedlock.[6]

Battle of Ahmedabad against Sarbaland

The Battle with Sarbuland:[1][7] Sarbuland's plans of defense are minutely detailed. At each gate he posted two thousand men and five guns manned by Europeans of whom he had a body of musketeers round his person. The cannonade had been kept up three days on both sides in which the son of Sarbuland was killed. At length Bakhth Singh led the storm when all the ots and awaits performed prodigies of valour. The Rajpurohit Akherajot warrior keshar singh of khedapa. And Jai singh jatiyawas son of rao Akhoji of Tinwari Marwar was the first to be carried to the immortal abode but though the sun stood still to see the deeds of the son of Harnath we cannot particularize the bard's catalogue of heroes transferred to Suryaloka. 3 on this day when the best blood of Rajputana was shed on the walls of Ahmadabad Both the princely brothers had their share in the play of swords and each slew more than one leader of note Amra who had so often defended Ajmer slew five chiefs of the grades of two and three thousand horse.[8]

One hundred and twenty of Abhai Singh's chieftains of note with five hundred horse were slain and seven hundred wounded. The next morning Sarbuland surrendered with all his effects. He was escorted towards Agra his wounded Moguls dying at every stage but the soul of the Fearless was sad at the loss of his kin. Abhai Singh of Marwar now ruled over the seventeen 17 thousand towns of Gujarat and the nine thousand of Marwar besides one thousand elsewhere. The princes of Idar, of Bhuj, of Parkar, of Sind and of Sirohi, the Chalukya Ran of Fatehpur, Jhunjunu, Nagor, Dungarpur, Banswara, Lunawara, Halwad, every morning bowed the head to Abhai Singh of Marwar, Thus in the enlightened half of the moon on the victorious tenth VS 1787 / AD 1731 the day on which Ramachandra captured Lanka the war against Sarbuland an Omrah lord of twelve thousand was concluded.[9]

The Champawats bore the brunt and lost Karan of Pali, Kishan Singh of Sandri, Gordhan of Jalor and Kalyan. The Kumpawats lost also several leaders of clans as Narsingh, Surtaan Singh, Padma son of Durjan. The Jodha tribe lost three leaders namely Hayatmall, Ghuman and Jogidas. The brave Mertias also lost three Bhum Singh, Kushal Singh and Gulab son of Hathi. The other chieftains the Jadons, the Sonigiras the Dhondals and Khichis had many brave men carried to Bhanuloka and even bards and purohits were amongst the slain.[10]

Battle of Gangwana

Abhai Singh wanted to take over Bikaner and this was not what his brother Bakhth Singh wanted since Bikaner was also a Rathore state, thus a collateral branch who would serve Marwar in times of peril. Bakhth schemed with Vidyadhar, a minister with Jai Singh of Amber and the result was that Amber marched against Marwar. At Battle of Gangwana it was left to Bakhth singh to save Rathore grace and he did so with only 1,000 rathores against an army of 100,000 Mughals and Rajputs. Relations were later restored.

Ram Singh succeeds

His son Maharaja Ram Singh succeeded him but was soon deposed by his uncle Bhakt Singh.
