Abhishek Bachchan has responded to Bangladeshi-Swedish author Taslima Nasreen’s barb about how Amitabh Bachchan loves his son so much that he thinks he has “inherited all his talents” and is “the best”.
Replying to Nasreen on Twitter in the comments section, Abhishek said: “Absolutely correct. Ma’am. Nobody comes close to him in talent or anything else for that matter. He will always remain ‘the best’! I am an extremely proud son.”
Nasreen had earlier tweeted: “Amitabh Bachchan ji loves his son Abhishek Bachchan so much that he thinks his son inherited all his talents and his son is the best. Abhishek is good, but I do not think Abhishek is as talented as Amitji.”
Actor Suniel Shetty shared a reaction to Abhishek’s tweet and dropped a red heart emoji.

San Francisco, Oct 12 (Ians) A number of Meta-owned Facebook users, including the company’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg, have lost most of their following for unknown reasons, media reports said.
Zuckerberg’s follower count is below 10,000 after losing over 119 million followers.
Several users took microblogging platform Twitter to complain about the issue.
“Facebook created a tsunami that wiped away my almost 900,000 followers and left only 9000 something on the shore. I kind of like Facebook’s comedy,” popular author Taslima Nasreen tweeted.
“Even Mark Zuckerberg’s followers on Facebook are now 9000 something,” she wrote.
According to media reports, a technological error caused an unexpected dip in followers.
“It is a technical glitch. Nothing to worry about. Just click on the number of followers on your profile. You will see the actual number,” another user wrote.
The company has not issued any statement on the matter till now.

Rushdie, who had to go underground for nearly a decade under heavy security and still remains quite controversial — as was evident from the row over his proposed video address at a prominent Indian literary festival a few years back — remains unbowed.
Like the equally intrepid author Taslima Nasreen, he has never shied away from attacking excesses, in the name of religion, politics, and ideology, especially when done by his own co-religionists.
"Midnight’s Children" was a not a very sympathetic look at India in its first few decades, as seen through the eyes of its singular protagonist who was born at the exact moment of the country’s freedom. His next book, "Shame" (1983), did the same for Pakistan, particularly in focussing on its crucial turning point in the end 1970s.
Here, Rushdie used magic realism to fashion an account of the tussle between a civilian ruler and an army general, which...

Interview Rahman was speaking to The Quint about the upcoming film '99 Songs' which marks his debut as a producer. Tnm StaffIn a recent interview with The Quint, music composer – and now producer – Ar Rahman expressed the angst that many people have been feeling over Bollywood’s obsession with remixing hits from the ‘90s, early 2000s and Punjabi pop for films. Speaking about the change that the music industry has gone through, Rahman said, “When something is successful, they overdo it and kill it, right? So people have felt like, ‘Where are the original songs? Why are there not songs like before? Where is another Rockstar, or where is another Taal?'” The Oscar-winning music composer said that while remixes were not a “bad idea”, they have not been compensated with other things. “When it gets too repetitive and a million people do that, then it becomes overdone, it becomes...

EntertainmentBabu is a familiar face on Telugu TV channels as he frequently takes on pseudo sciences and speaks on human rights issues.Tnm StaffRationalist and human rights activist Babu Gogineni was announced as the fifth contestant in Bigg Boss 2, Telugu, as the show kicked off on Sunday. The show premiered on Star Maa and is being hosted by actor Nani, who took over after the first season, which was hosted by Jr Ntr. Speculation was rife earlier on Sunday as Babu had taken to Facebook and said, "Dear Friends and Followers. Due to a professional engagement, this account will be inactive for a few months." Earlier this week, speaking about the show in an interview, Babu called it a 'social experiment', and said, "When so many cameras are constantly surveying you and tracking your social interactions in a closed house and observing your behaviour, it is an experiment." "However, it is also more than that. Why I am showing some interest in what happens in the house is that a 'pressure cooker' environment is being created, psychologically speaking, by denying them communication, and they are made to work in teams, against teams or within teams. I think it’s worth watching," he added. He also posed questions. "Do the members in the house stop being normal? Do they become different people or do they just go crazy? In a controlled atmosphere, I think it offers an interesting insight." Babu also spoke about how he was introduced to Big Brother, the American show on which Bigg Boss is based, by his Dutch friends, who were psychologists and sociologists. "I saw the link between the original 'big brother' idea in George Orwell's book and I'm interested in knowing how the people behave when they are not given any privacy," he added. According to sources, it was the makers of Bigg Boss who approached Babu with the proposal. The activist is said to have accepted because the TRPs for a single episode were far greater than that of the daily news debates on Telugu news channels in which he is a regular panelist. This will, Babu believes, help him spread his message of humanism and rational thinking, to a greater number of people. Babu is also a regular myth-buster on Telugu TV channels, and participates in debates that debunk astrology and pseudo-sciences, besides offering his take on several human rights issues. He is a former Executive Director of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (Iheu) and was also actively involved in campaigns for the protection of Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen, and bringing Pakistani freethinker Younus Shaikh to safety in Europe. Babu also took on the Dalai Lama when Sambhavi, a minor from Andhra Pradesh, was projected and hailed as a child goddess, and a friend of the Lama in an earlier incarnation. The sets for the new season have been built in Hyderabad, unlike the first season which was shot in Lonavala. The Bigg Boss house has been constructed at the popular Annapurna Studios where the contestants will stay during the entire course of the show. Speaking at the launch of the show earlier, Nani is reported to have said, “I am excited to be a part of the show and looking forward towards this new experience. A house full of celebrities with cameras all around watching their every move. There will be varied emotions like love, friendship, drama making it more entertaining with 'Inkoncham (little more) masala'. But most importantly on this show everything is unscripted. Like I said in my promo 'yedeina jargachu' (anything can happen).” Read: India's own Carl Sagan: Meet Babu Gogineni, the science populariser from Hyderabad...

One of the most frustrating aspects of covering festival and indie films has been the limited access for a wider audience – very often review comments run along the lines of: “Tell me where I can see this!” 2015 was a year that finally saw some great shifts in this, with a number of festival films finally getting a theatrical release – some of them films that had been on the festival circuit for a couple of years, some of them hot off the 2015 festival rounds. Audiences for both festival and indie films are small, but they’re growing, and access to this year’s “best of” selection should be easier for interested viewers. 2015 was, indeed, a great year for these films – enjoy our choices for Festival and Indie Bests!

Churni Ganguly’s National Award winning film Nirbashito (The Banished) is both an unflinching and compassionate look at the idea of exile, through the story of a writer, a poet, whose work has so inflamed political sensibilities that she ends up banished from her homeland, forceably torn from her home, moments after fussing over and feeding her beloved cat, Baaghini, which is the last thing she looks at as she is dragged out the door, flown to Rajasthan, taken to Delhi, and from there out of the country, under tight security. Nowhere, it seems, is safe for this writer. Nowhere in India, at least, and perhaps nowhere in the world, as the tight security which her Swedish protectors provide for her once she arrives in Stockholm shows.
