<p>Aujla, who originally wrote "Tauba Tauba" at the age of 27, shared his excitement on Instagram, acknowledging the significance of the moment. "I wrote it at 27; she sang it at 91 better than me," he remarked on his Instagram Stories. He also posted a clip of Bhosle&rsquo;s performance, calling her "the living Goddess of music."</p>
<p>Reflecting on his journey, Aujla shared the story behind the song&rsquo;s creation, noting its humble beginnings. "A song written by a kid who grew up in a small village, with no music background and no knowledge of musical instruments. A melody made by someone who doesn't play any instrument," he wrote, expressing his deep appreciation for Bhosle&rsquo;s rendition.</p>
<p>While "Tauba Tauba" had already cemented its place as a fan favorite earlier this year with its inclusion in the film Bad Newz, featuring Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri, Bhosle&rsquo;s performance elevated its legacy. The song, known for its intricate hookstep choreographed by Bosco Martis, had also become a viral sensation with fans attempting to replicate its moves on social media throughout 2024.</p>
<p>"This moment is truly iconic and one I will never forget," Aujla added. "I am blessed and thankful. It has inspired me to continue creating melodies and memories for all of you."</p>
<p>Asha Bhosle, with a career spanning more than eight decades, has left an indelible mark on the music world with timeless classics such as "Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko," "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja," and "Dil Cheez Kya Hai." Her ability to connect with music across generations remains unparalleled, as showcased by her recent embrace of contemporary hits like Aujla&rsquo;s.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Aujla continues his successful "It Was All A Dream" tour, performing in Jaipur on Sunday. His next concert is set to take place in Ahmedabad on December 31, as he wraps up an eventful year.</p>

Diljit Dosanjh honored former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh by dedicating his concert to him, reflecting on Singh’s dignified silence, political legacy, and the valuable lessons of focus and grace.

<p>&ldquo;Today&rsquo;s Concert is dedicated to Dr Manmohan Singh Ji. DIL-LUMINATI TOUR Year 24,&rdquo; Dosanjh captioned the post.</p>
<p>In the video, the 40-year-old singer reflected on Singh&rsquo;s dignified approach to life and politics. He highlighted that Singh, despite facing criticism, never retaliated in kind.</p>
<p>"He lived a very simple life. If I look at the journey of his life, it was so simple. Even if someone talked ill about him, he never reverted in the same manner. In politics, it's the toughest thing to avoid," Dosanjh remarked.</p>
<p>He also compared the behavior of politicians in India to that of children, emphasizing that Singh&rsquo;s ability to stay calm was something everyone could learn from.</p>
<p>"Have you ever seen those Lok Sabha sessions? Our politicians fight as if they are nursery kids... But something that we should learn from Dr Manmohan Singh ji is that he never responded back in the same manner," he added.</p>
<p>Singh, who was credited with steering India through significant economic reforms, passed away at the age of 92. Dosanjh also quoted a line often said by Singh, emphasizing the power of silence.</p>
<p>"He would often say 'Hazaaron jawabon se meri khamoshi acchi, na jaane kitne sawalon ki aabroo dhak leti hai' ('My silence is better than a thousand answers, it has saved the grace of many questions') and it is something the youth needs to learn from him, even I do. We should focus on our goals even if people speak worst about us and try to distract us," Dosanjh shared.</p>
<p>He concluded by bowing his head in respect to the man who dedicated his life to serving his country.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Today, I bow my head in front of a man who loved his country and spent his life serving it,&rdquo; Dosanjh said.</p>
<p>The singer is set to perform next in Ludhiana on December 31 as part of his &ldquo;Dil-Luminati India Tour.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor yesterday issued a warning to his fans regarding an online scam involving someone pretending to be his manager. <br><br>He shared a post on Instagram to alert his followers about a fraudulent account reaching out to individuals, claiming to offer exclusive opportunities to connect with him.</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/676d08bb0830e_1735198907.jpg" width="720" height="423">&nbsp;<br><br>The scammer, using Arjun's name, was attempting to deceive fans into revealing personal details or clicking on harmful links.</p>
<p>In his Instagram post, Arjun clarified, "It has come to my attention that a random account is pretending to be my manager and offering fake opportunities to connect with me. Please be aware that these messages are not legitimate, and I have no connection to them. I would never ask anyone to share personal information or click on links like that. Stay vigilant and report any such accounts immediately. Wishing you all a safe and Merry Christmas!"</p>
<p>In a separate post, Arjun Kapoor extended his best wishes to the team behind Baby John, the upcoming film starring Varun Dhawan.

Telangana State FDC chairman and leading producer Dil Raju on Wednesday said a delegation of film personalities would call on state Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy today to foster "healthy relations" between the government and the industry.

Crucial meeting between Telangana govt, Telugu film reps to ease 'soured' ties amid high stakes

<p>Telangana State FDC chairman and leading producer Dil Raju on Wednesday said a delegation of film personalities would call on state Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy today to foster "healthy relations" between the government and the industry.</p>

<p>A crucial meeting between the Telangana government and Telugu film industry representatives is expected to be held on Thursday to thaw the speculated strained ties between the ruling dispensation and Tinseltown following the arrest of top actor Allu Arjun.</p>
<p>The 42-year-old star was arrested recently in connection with the stampede at a theatre here screening his latest movie "Pushpa: The Rule" which resulted in the death of a woman on December 4.</p>
<p>Telangana State Film Development Corporation (FDC) chairman and leading producer Dil Raju on Wednesday said a delegation of film personalities would call on state Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy today to foster "healthy relations" between the government and the industry.</p>
<p>The meeting assumes significance amid Cinematography minister Komatireddi Venkat Reddy's statement that the state government, in future, may consider ticket price hikes only for certain categories such as films made on history, freedom struggle or anti-drugs or message-oriented.</p>
<p>The state government's stand came in the wake of the death of a 35-year-old woman at Sandhya Theatre here due to suffocation where the 'Pushpa 2' movie was screened on December 4.</p>
<p>The minister&rsquo;s statement, if really implemented, will have a huge impact on the high budget films such as Ram Charan&rsquo;s "Game Changer", Nandamuri Balakrishna's "Daaku Maharaj" and Venkatesh&rsquo;s "Sankranthiki Vasthunnam" which are slated for release during Sankranti next year.</p>
<p>Directed by popular Director S Shankar, Game Changer was produced by Dil Raju. The film is reportedly made with a budget of nearly Rs 400 crore.</p>
<p>Though the Telangana State Film Chamber of Commerce welcomed the government's decision that it will not allow benefit shows of movies in the state and also enhanced ticket prices will be done on a case-to-case basis, the move may not go down well with the production houses as they usually look to reap the benefits during the early day of the film release.</p>
<p>The meeting is being organised on behalf of the FDC, Dil Raju had said, adding, that he would act as a bridge between the government and the film fraternity.</p>
<p>Some ruling Congress leaders have found fault with Allu Arjun's comments last week, describing the stampede incident as purely accidental and denying the allegations made by CM Revanth Reddy on the "roadshow" before the film screening.</p>
<p>Hours after Reddy slammed the actor for holding a roadshow and waving to the crowds at the theatre, without referring to anyone, the 'Pushpa' star refuted the allegations, saying it was not a procession or a roadshow.</p>
<p>Allu Arjun was arrested by the city police in connection with the death of the woman on December 13.</p>
<p>The Telangana High Court granted him a four-week interim bail on the same day and he was released from a prison here on December 14 morning.</p>

<p><br><br><br><br>"A casual, fun dip in the waves was interrupted by an underwater current that toppled both of us. The next thing we knew, we were struggling to stay afloat," he wrote in an Instagram post.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite their swimming experience, the couple found themselves struggling against the strong current. After nearly 10 minutes of trying to stay above water, they called for help. A family consisting of an IPS officer and his IRS wife swiftly came to their rescue and pulled them to safety.</p>
<p>Allahbadia explained that although he had encountered underwater currents before, this was the first time he had faced such a challenge with someone else. "It's easy to swim out of one alone. It's very hard to pull someone out with you," he shared.</p>
<p>The 31-year-old further recounted the harrowing experience, saying, "There was a point where I swallowed a lot of water and started fading away. That's when I decided to shout for help. Deep gratitude to the family...who saved us both. This experience left us feeling both blank as well as grateful. We felt the protection of God throughout the incident."</p>
<p>Reflecting on the ordeal, Allahbadia described it as a profound moment that changed his outlook on life. He acknowledged the near-death experience, calling it a brush with the "life-death barrier," and ended his post with gratitude, adding, "We lived for a reason."</p>

Andrew Garfield has firmly dismissed rumors of appearing in Marvel's upcoming Spider-Man 4, acknowledging that fans may not trust his statements after his surprise cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. 

Andrew Garfield denies rumors of appearing in Spider-Man 4

<p>Garfield first portrayed Spider-Man in the 2012 film The Amazing Spider-Man and reprised the role in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014.</p>

<p>Andrew Garfield has firmly denied rumors suggesting that he will appear in Marvel Studios' highly anticipated Spider-Man 4. <br><br>The British actor acknowledged that fans may not take his word for it, given that he had previously denied rumors about appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home&mdash;only to surprise audiences with an extended cameo alongside Tobey Maguire.</p>
<p>In an interview with GQ UK, Garfield, 41, explained, "I&rsquo;m gonna disappoint you. Yeah, no. But I know no one&rsquo;s gonna trust anything I say from now on."</p>
<p>However, Garfield also left the door open to future franchise opportunities, stating that he would not completely rule out the possibility of joining a major project if it felt aligned with his personal values. <br><br>He humorously added, "Maybe I&rsquo;m gonna have like five kids at some point, and I&rsquo;m gonna need to start saving up for the school tuition or something."</p>
<p>Garfield first portrayed Spider-Man in the 2012 film The Amazing Spider-Man and reprised the role in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014. He made a triumphant return as the web-slinger in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which also saw Tobey Maguire back in his iconic role as Spider-Man from the original 2000s trilogy.</p>
<p>Spider-Man 4 will bring Tom Holland back as the titular superhero, with Zendaya reprising her role as MJ. Production is set to begin in the summer of 2025, with the movie hitting U.S. theaters on July 24, 2026.</p>

<p>He has been winning over people, Modi is heard telling Dosanjh in a lighter vein, referring to the first name of the famous Punjabi artiste.</p>
<p>Dosanjh expressed his admiration for Modi's sentiments towards his mother and the Ganga river.</p>
<p>Dosanjh was recently criticised by some rightwing groups over a host of issues.</p>
<p>Following his meeting with Modi, Dosanjh said in post on X, "A fantastic start to 2025. A very memorable meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We talked about a lot of things including music of course!"</p>

The film industry anticipates a strong 2025 with major releases like Salman Khan’s “Sikandar” and sequels such as “War 2” and “Housefull 5,” aiming to boost box office collections after a weaker 2024.

2025 Bollywood Movie Lineup: Major Releases, Sequels, and Box Office Expectations

<p>Trade expert Girish Wankhede said Salman Khan&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sikandar&rdquo; might set the tone for an eventful year, which will also see Aamir Khan&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sitaare Zameen Par&rdquo; arriving in theatres by mid-2025.</p>

<p>As the curtain closes on a relatively underwhelming 2024, trade experts and film exhibitors are pinning hopes on Salman Khan&rsquo;s highly anticipated film &ldquo;Sikandar,&rdquo; and a plethora of franchise offerings like &ldquo;War 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;Raid 2&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Housefull 5&rdquo;, which they believe will reignite audience interest at the box office.</p>
<p>The film landscape for 2025 is loaded with diverse content but expectations are high from Salman&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sikandar&rdquo;, which is set to release on the occasion of Eid in March.</p>
<p>Among the films heading into theatres are Kangana Ranaut's political drama &ldquo;Emergency&rdquo;, Akshay Kumar&rsquo;s war film &ldquo;Sky Force&rdquo;, Shahid Kapoor&rsquo;s action-packed thriller &ldquo;Deva&rdquo; and Vicky Kaushal-starrer historical drama &ldquo;Chhaava,&rdquo; which chronicles the life of Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.</p>
<p>The second half of 2025 has a remarkable lineup of films like the sequel to popular titles such as &ldquo;Jolly LLB 3&rdquo;, &ldquo;Raid 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;Housefull 5&rdquo;, &ldquo;War 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;Baaghi 4&rdquo;, &ldquo;De De Pyaar De&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Son of Sardaar 2&rdquo;.</p>
<p>In addition to this, there are other releases such as Varun Dhawan&rsquo;s romantic-comedy movie with father David Dhawan, Shahid Kapoor&rsquo;s actioner which is helmed by Vishal Bhardwaj, a horror-thriller featuring Kajol, &ldquo;Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling!&rdquo; starring Jaya Bachchan, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Wamiqa Gabbi and Swanand Kirkire, &ldquo;Alpha&rdquo;, Yash Raj Films' next Spy Universe movie starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, and Aamir&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sitaare Zameen Par&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Distributor-exhibitor Akshay Rathi, who owns theatres in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh, said movies such as &ldquo;Sikandar&rdquo;, &ldquo;Sky Force&rdquo;, &ldquo;Chhaava&rdquo;, &ldquo;Raid 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;De De Pyaar De 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;Housefull 5&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Alpha&rdquo; have the potential to break box office records.</p>
<p>"If you compare the releases with 2024, which has been held together by two films &ndash; &lsquo;Pushpa 2&rsquo; and &lsquo;Stree 2&rsquo;, there were other movies like &lsquo;Singham Again&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3&rsquo; that did well.</p>
<p>"We need one blockbuster a month to sustain the exhibition infrastructure. We cannot rely on three to four blockbusters. We need that to happen with a lot more consistency. A higher number of films have the potential to become mega-blockbusters in 2025,&rdquo; Rathi told PTI.</p>
<p>In 2024 &ldquo;Stree 2&rdquo; was the biggest and only hit of the year earning over Rs 500 crores, besides a handful of other releases such as &ldquo;Shaitaan&rdquo;, &ldquo;Article 370&rdquo;, &ldquo;Laapataa Ladies&rdquo;, &ldquo;Munjya&rdquo;, &ldquo;Singham Again&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3&rdquo; did decent business.</p>
<p>According to Nitin Datar, President of the Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association of India, and Amit Sharma, MD of Miraj Entertainment Limited, the 2025 lineup looks promising.</p>
<p>"It's tough to guess now which film will do well because publicity has not started. However, 2025 looks good and I&rsquo;m looking forward to the release of &lsquo;Sikandar&rsquo;, &lsquo;Housefull 5&rsquo;, &lsquo;Jolly LLB 3&rsquo;, &lsquo;Emergency&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Chhaava&rsquo;. The rest of the films will be slow starters but may pick up,&rdquo; Datar told PTI.</p>
<p>"In terms of box office collection 2024 was the worst year, things look brighter compared to last year as there are films like &lsquo;War 2&rsquo;, &lsquo;Jolly LLB 3&rsquo;, &lsquo;Housefull 5&rsquo;, &lsquo;Son of Sardaar 2&rsquo;, &lsquo;Raid 2&rsquo;, &lsquo;Jaat&rsquo;, &lsquo;Sky Force&rsquo;, &lsquo;Sikandar&rsquo;. Overall Hindi films in 2025 should do a 15 to 20 percent better collection than in 2024,&rdquo; Sharma told PTI.</p>
<p>Taran Adarsh said there's an &ldquo;overdose&rdquo; of franchise films. He acknowledged the risk of audience fatigue but is hopeful that each film will attain commercial success.</p>
<p>"It&rsquo;s going to be a strong 2025, there&rsquo;s a good line-up of movies. There&rsquo;s going to be an overdose of franchises and sequels. Let&rsquo;s place our bets on every film that comes in,&rdquo; Adarsh told PTI.</p>
<p>Trade expert Girish Wankhede said Salman Khan&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sikandar&rdquo; might set the tone for an eventful year, which will also see Aamir Khan&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sitaare Zameen Par&rdquo; arriving in theatres by mid-2025.</p>
<p>"In addition to these star-studded releases, the upcoming year will witness a plethora of sequels and prequels, both from the South Indian film industry and Bollywood. Each film is expected to feature stellar casts and possess immense potential to captivate audiences,&rdquo; Wankhede told PTI.</p>
<p>Adarsh underscored the importance of quality content and urged the Hindi film industry to move away from remakes of South Indian films.</p>
<p>"In the coming days, we will see more quality projects and that&rsquo;s because we&rsquo;ve learnt an important lesson that we need to concentrate on content, and need to stop making remakes because they are not working.</p>
<p>"With everything being available on digital medium, people have seen it and people are not interested in seeing the new version, we&rsquo;ve seen this in the case of &lsquo;Baby John&rsquo; or &lsquo;Sarfira&rsquo;. We need to implement the lessons learnt.&rdquo;</p>

From Allu Arjun's involvement in a tragic stampede to Poonam Pandey's death hoax, 2024 was filled with celebrity controversies. Discover the most talked-about scandals, including clashes, legal issues, and public backlash, making headlines across industries.

<p>Some made deliberate attempts to grab attention, while others became a talk of the town at what could have been a highlight of their career.</p>

<p>From Poonam Pandey, Kangana Ranaut to Allu Arjun, actors and celebrities across industries made headlines for the wrong reasons this year.</p>
<p>Some made deliberate attempts to grab attention, while others became a talk of the town at what could have been a highlight of their career.</p>
<p>Here is a list of 10 most talked about controversies in 2024 in showbiz:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>1) Allu Arjun and the Sandhya Theatre stampede case</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/6773771af280e_1735620378.jpg" width="636" height="357"></strong></p>
<p>Telugu film star Allu Arjun was arrested in connection with the death of a 35-year-old woman during a promotional event of "Pushpa 2: The Rule" at Hyderabad's Sandhya Theatre earlier this month.</p>
<p>While the woman died, her eight-year-old son was seriously injured as fans thronged the theatre to catch a glimpse of the actor, who is currently out on interim bail. The movie, however, has emerged as the biggest hit of the year by earning over Rs 1,700 crore at the box office.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>2) Darshan and Renukaswamy murder case</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/6773778f84d9a_1735620495.jpg" width="638" height="358"></p>
<p>Kannada star Darshan Thoogudeepa was arrested in June for allegedly killing Renukaswamy, his fan, for sending obscene messages to the actor's associate Pavithra Gowda. Darshan, Gowda and seven others were recently granted bail by the Karnataka High Court.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>3) Nayanthara-Dhanush clash</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/6773782084dd2_1735620640.jpg" width="639" height="359"></p>
<p>In an open letter, Nayanthara last month called out Dhanush, who produced her 2015 Tamil movie "Naanum Rowdy Dhaan", for refusing permission to use footage from their film in her Netflix documentary "Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale".</p>
<p>She criticised Dhanush for sending a legal notice demanding Rs 10 crore in damages after the trailer of the film was released online. <br><br>Nayanthara's letter received support from actors, including Shruti Haasan, Parvathy, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Nazriya Nazim, all of whom have worked with Dhanush.<br><br></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>4) Allegations of black marketing of tickets to Coldplay, Diljit Dosanjh shows</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/67737873830c7_1735620723.jpg" width="638" height="358"><br><br>The Enforcement Directorate in October said it detected alleged irregularities after it conducted raids in a money laundering case to probe "black marketing" of tickets for the music concerts by British rock band Coldplay and Punjabi singing star Diljit Dosanjh.</p>
<p>Dosanjh also made headlines for calling out different state governments for directing him to avoid singing songs related to alcohol, drugs and violence at his concerts as part of his ongoing "Dil-Luminati India Tour 2024".</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>5) Kapil Sharma's alleged racist comments against Atlee</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/677378d18db83_1735620817.jpg" width="636" height="357"><br><br>Earlier this month, stand-up comic and host Kapil Sharma was in a soup for allegedly poking fun at Atlee's skin colour during the "Jawan" director's appearance on Netflix's "The Great Indian Kapil Show".</p>
<p>Amid backlash, Sharma defended his comments and requested people to not spread hate on social media.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>6) "Laapataa Ladies" as India's official Oscars entry</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/677379205a9c8_1735620896.jpg" width="641" height="360"></p>
<p>The Film Federation of India was criticised in September by a section of social media users after it selected "Laapataa Ladies" over "All We Imagine As Light" to represent the country at Oscars 2025.</p>
<p>Though both films were critically acclaimed, many believe that "All We Imagine...", the first Indian film to win the Grand Prix at Cannes Film Festival, had a better shot at clinching the elusive best international film Oscar.</p>
<p>The all-male FFI jury also received brickbats for their citation about "Laapataa Ladies", which is out of the Oscars race.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>7) Delay in release of "Emergency"</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/6773798b5c747_1735621003.jpg" width="641" height="360"><br><br>This Kangana Ranaut film was delayed multiple times as it didn't receive a clearance from the CBFC for theatrical release. It was mired in controversy after many Sikh organisations accused the makers of misrepresenting the community and getting facts wrong. <br><br>The movie is now scheduled to be released on January 17.</p>
<p>Its lead star and director Ranaut made headlines after she was hit in the face by a constable during a security check at the Chandigarh airport, days after she was elected to the Lok Sabha from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh on a BJP ticket. <br><br>The actor was also pulled up by the party after she made disparaging remarks on the farmers agitation against the now repealed three farm laws.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>8) Hema Committee Report</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/67737a97f3133_1735621271.jpg" width="641" height="360"></p>
<p>In August, Malayalam cinema was rocked by the revelations of the expansive Justice Hema Committee report, which detailed instances of widespread and persistent harassment and exploitation of women in the industry.</p>
<p>All 17 members of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) executive committee, including its president and senior actor Mohanlal, submitted their resignation amid the growing allegations raised by women against its members.</p>
<p>Multiple FIRs were registered against many high-profile personalities, including actors Siddique, Jayasurya, former chairperson of Kerala State Chalachitra Academy Ranjith, and CPI (M) MLA and actor M Mukesh, in the wake of the revelations made in the report.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>9) "IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack" row</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/67737ad255cf5_1735621330.jpg" width="638" height="358"><br><br>This Netflix series kicked up a storm in September when a segment on social media claimed that the show by Anubhav Sinha concealed the real religious identities of the terrorists involved in the 1999 incident.</p>
<p>The streamer later included the real and code names of the hijackers depicted in the show after Netflix India's content head, Monika Shergill was summoned by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>10) Poonam Pandey death hoax</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/67737b3321dc6_1735621427.jpg" width="645" height="362"></p>
<p>In February, Poonam Pandey's team dropped the bombshell news of her 'death' from cervical cancer, which turned out to be fake news, more like a stunt pulled off by the actor-model in what she later said was a tool to spread awareness about the disease.</p>
<p>Social media users, some celebrities and others unanimously called out Pandey for using a serious issue for a publicity stunt. Her PR agency issued an apology amid widespread criticism.</p>
