This is what they were asked, "What advice would you give to young women watching on how to deal with the pressures they face today?"## Harnaaz said, "Well, I think the biggest pressure the youth of today is facing is to believe in themselves. To know that you are unique and that's what makes you beautiful, stop comparing yourselves with others, and let's talk about more important things that's happening worldwide. I think this is what you need to understand. Come out, speak for yourself, because you are the leader of your life. You are the voice of your own [life]. I believe in myself and that's why I'm standing here today".## Harnaaz is only the 3rd Indian to win the Miss Universe title. Earlier, Sushmita Sen won the title in 1994, and 6 years later, Lara Dutta had crowned the title in 2000 and was the last Indian to do so. Harnaaz was crowned Miss Universe India 2021 in October.

The Punjabi Film 'Chal Mera Putt 2' Cast Five Pakistani Actors 2 Years After Ban

Chandigarh, August 26, 2021: Punjabi movie "Chal Mera Putt 2" is gearing up for the theatrical release on August 27. Even before the release, the movie is in news for the casting of Pakistani actors. As known to everyone, the All Indian Cine Workers Association announced a total ban on Pakistani artists from working in India after the deadly terror attack in Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir in February 2019 that claimed the lives of 40 jawans of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). ## Obliging the ban, the Indian film fraternity has also shown solidarity by not working with Pakistani actors and singers in Indian films for two years now. However, things seem to have changed now as Chal Mera Putt 2 will see five Pakistani actors including Zafri Khan, Iftikhar Thakur, Nasir Chinyoti, Rubi Anam, and Akram Udas) as part of the cast. ## Since the Pakistani actors are not allowed in India for shooting, the makers of the film went to the UK and shot the film. Justifying the casting, producer Munish Sahani said that Pakistani actors were cast to give the movie an international reach as Punjabi actors don't have a wide reach outside India. ## "There is no particular reason to cast Pakistani actors. We have shot the film in the United Kingdom and the project required them. If I want to give international exposure to the film, I have to consider territories where the reach of Indian actors is limited". ## He further stated, "Punjabi films don't have the reach which Hindi films have. All Punjabi films don't work when they are released abroad. We just wanted to creatively justify the film and that's the reason we took Pakistani actors". ## Directed by Janjot Singh, the movie is a direct sequel to the 2019 film Chal Mera Putt. The movie stars Amrinder Gill, Simi Chahal, and Garry Sandhu in lead roles. The movie was released worldwide on 13 March 2020, however, due to the covid-19 outbreak, it was affected in several territories. It is now, re-releasing on August 27 worldwide. ## Stay tuned...

Developers Of FAU-G Rubbish Late Sushant Singh Rajput's Involvement In The Game

Recently, the Government of India banned 118 chinses apps including the popular mobile game, PubG. Soon after the game was banned, Bollywood superstar, Akshay Kumar announced a new game FAU-G - Fearless And United Guards in association with the developers of the game nCORE Games. ## Right after the announcement of the game FAU-G, a section of the internet started speculating that the game was originally conceptualized by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. However, the developers of the game took to their Twitter handle to clear all such speculations by saying that such rumors were absolutely false and baseless and the game was developed by an Indian entrepreneur Mr. Vishal Gondal, Mr. Dayanadhi MG, and others who’ve been in the gaming industry for 20 years now. ## The developers also clarify that the poster of the game hasn't been plagiarized and said that they have officially bought the license to use the image from Shutter Stock.
