    Big B calls out ‘speculations’ about his family amid divorce rumors of Abhishek-Aishwarya

    Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan’s divorce rumors are all around the internet. A lot has been said about their marriage. The Bachchan family is always in the news but recently, we have heard a lot of negative stories around them. It has been said that Aishwarya does not get along with the family and the couple has been living separately. Abhishek and Aishwarya were not spotted for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding as well. This made people believe that they are not together. Even during birthdays, the couple have not wished each other on social media.
    We also heard of rumours that said Abhishek Bachchan’s Dasvi costar Nimrat Kaur is the reason for this. However, now, Amitabh Bachchan has finally reacted to these rumours. He took to his blog on Tumblr and opened up about the speculations about his family.
    He wrote, “It takes immense courage conviction and a sincerity to be different and believe in its presence in life .. I rarely say much about family, because that is my domain and its privacy is maintained by me ..Speculations are speculations .. they are speculated untruths, without verifications .. Verifications are sought by the seekers to authenticate their business and commercials of the profession they be in .. I shall not challenge their desire to be in the profession of their choice .. and I shall appreciate their effort in serving society ..”
    He went on to indirectly slam people for using question marks and sharing unverified things as news. He shared how these questions and unverified informations can be harmful.
    He shared, “But untruths .. or selected question marked information can be a legal safeguard for them that inform .. but the seed of suspected belief is sown with this most used emblem .. the question mark .. ? write express whatever you like .. but when you follow it up with a question mark, you are not only saying that the write may be questionable .. but also quite surreptitiously wanting the reader to believe and expand on it, so that your write gets valued repeats ..”
    He spoke about being credible while writing about a particular thing and shared the disregard of how what’s written may affect the individual. He concluded saying, “I have question marked it .. SO THERE .., !!!! move on to the next .. EaCH PROFESSION CAN HAVE THESE QUALITIES .. and this is my safeguard in the write ..”

  • FIH Pro League: Harmanpreet’s double hands India 3-0 win over young Germany

    FIH Pro League: Harmanpreet’s double hands India 3-0 win over young Germany

    Bhubaneswar  (TIP)- Vice-captain Harmanpreet Singh continued his goal-scoring spree with a brace as the Indian men’s hockey team defeated an inexperienced Germany 3-0 in the first match of their two-leg tie to extend its lead in the FIH Pro League standings here on April 14. Harmanpreet converted two penalty corners in the 18th and 27th minutes, while Abhishek deflected in another Harmanpreet drag-flick in the 45th minute.

    With 12 players of Germany’s 22-member squad making their senior debut in the tie, the vast gap between the two sides was evidently visible. By virtue of this win, India consolidated their position at the top of the table with 24 points from 11 games. Germany are placed second with 17 points from nine matches.

    Both the teams will lock horns again in the second match of the tie tomorrow.

    The Indians started on a bright note and secured a penalty corner early in the first quarter but Jugraj Singh’s effort was kept out by the German defence and Nilkanata Sharma shot wide from the rebound. India enjoyed a lot of possession in the first quarter but the forward-line wasn’t clinical enough to bury the chances.

    India continued in the same vein in the second quarter and took the lead in the 18th minute. Harmanpreet’s low and accurate drag-flick crashed into the sideboard past the post defender. India earned another penalty corner soon but this time German goalkeeper Alexander Stadler denied Harmanpreet.

    But Harmanpreet doubled India’s lead three minutes from half-time. He pulled his body from right to left and wrong-footed Stadler with a drag-flick into the bottom left corner.

    The Indians kept up the pressure after the change of ends and created plenty of scoring opportunities but the young German defence stood firm. They were, however, guilty of conceding a lot of penalty corners. And from another penalty corner, pusher Abhishek, who was named the Player of the Match, deflected in Harmanpreet’s variation to hand India a comfortable 3-0 lead.
