 Janhvi Kapoor who has been busy promoting her upcoming film Mr and Mrs Mahi has been in the news for a while now because she is absolutely acing the method dressing trend. In a recent interview, Janhvi made an interesting revelation about her personal life.

The actress admitted to checking her boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya’s phone. She did go on to call herself a red flag but also admitted that she cannot help it. During the same interview, when someone in the audience asked Janhvi, “Should boyfriends be allowed to check their girlfriends’ phone?” The actress replied, “No! Don’t you trust us?”


Janhvi Kapoor recently confirmed dating Shikhar Pahariya. The duo, who had broken up earlier but reconciled around Diwali 2022. The Bawaal actress is not shy to show her love for Shikhar and is often spotted donning her famous Shiku necklace.


On the work front, Janhvi’s film Mr and Mrs Mahi will be released in cinemas on May 31. The film also stars Rajkummar Rao. Other than that, she also has a lineup of highly anticipated films like Ulajh, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and Devara: Part 1.

The Oscar-winning star wore an elegant black and white off-shoulder dress with green lining. Looking at the colour-blocking of the dress, people on the internet instantly pointed out that she is making a political fashion statement. She paired the dress with a chain of pearls that she wore below the neckline, around her chest.

Although speculation about whether the back of her dress was white or a light shade of pink still continues, many couldn't ignore how her dress' colours when seen against the red carpet's backdrop match the colours of the Palestinian flag. This indicated the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador's solidarity with that of the sovereign state which is currently under war due to conflict between Israel and the militant group Hamas.

The Turkish president said at the event that recent floods in some provinces of Afghanistan have brought about a humanitarian disaster.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said: "Following the floods, more than 400 of our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan lost their lives, and a major humanitarian disaster has occurred in the north of the country. We invite world countries to help the flood victims in Afghanistan. Turkey continues to send humanitarian aid to Afghanistan after the floods."

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) also emphasized the need for continued humanitarian aid to the people of Afghanistan.

Edem Wosornu, director of OCHA's Operations and Advocacy Division, said: "The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is fragile, 23 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance this year, this is 5 times the number in 2019. The majority of people in need are women and girls, children in Afghanistan (there are) 1.4 million girls who are directly affected by the ban on female schooling after grade six, this is a huge concern to say the least.”

"As I previously emphasized, 23 million people in Afghanistan rely on humanitarian aid; this is five times more than in 2019. The second point is sustainable solutions, including livelihood and agricultural support, and finally, we must hear their voices [the people of Afghanistan], they want us to listen to them," said Wosornu.

Shah Wali, a resident of Karkar town in Pul-e-Khumri, said that in addition to the loss of lives, significant financial losses have been inflicted on the people due to the deadly floods; however, no government or private organization has yet helped the affected people in this area.

"No one from the government or any officials came to help us or to ask about our condition, to see how the flood came and what it destroyed," Shah Wali told TOLOnews.

Some domestic charitable organizations, various departments of the Islamic Emirate, civil organizations in Turkey, and some businessmen inside and outside the country have also provided humanitarian aid to the recent flood victims. Countries such as Turkey, Iran, Qatar, Russia, Japan, and Uzbekistan have also provided initial aid to the flood victims.

Recently, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Interior delivered over two million afghani to the flood victims in Baghlan.

Based on statistics from the Ministry of Disaster Management, devastating and deadly floods have hit the provinces of Baghlan, Faryab, Ghor, Sar-e-Pul, Badakhshan, Takhar, Samangan, Herat, Badghis, Laghman, Bamyan, Farah, Nuristan, and Kapisa in the past two weeks.

Nicki Minaj was released from custody Saturday hours after she was apparently arrested by police in the Netherlands on suspicion of exporting soft drugs, authorities said.

The rapper was fined and allowed to “continue her journey,” police said in a translated post on X just before 4 p.m. ET.

Minaj, 41, was traveling to Manchester, England, from Amsterdam for a concert on her “Pink Friday 2 World Tour” when she was apparently arrested. Minaj, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, was scheduled to perform at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester on Saturday night but it was postponed, Live Nation UK said in an update.

“Despite Nicki’s best efforts to explore every possible avenue to make tonight’s show happen, the events of today have made it impossible,” the company said. “We are deeply disappointed by the inconvenience this has caused.”

Tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled concert, the company said.

Police have not identified the name of the person arrested, but when asked if it was Minaj, a spokesperson said officers had “arrested a 41-year-old American woman at Schiphol Airport because of possession of soft drugs.”

In a social media post early Sunday local time, Minaj said she arrived at her hotel in Manchester a little more than an hour ago. "After sitting in a jail cell for 5-6 hours, my plane still didn’t take off for another 20 mins once I boarded" the 50 minute flight from Amsterdam, she wrote.

"Please please please accept my deepest & most sincere apologies," Minaj wrote. "They sure did know exactly how to hurt me today but this too, shall pass."

The rapper said she hopes to be able to share the rescheduled date for Saturday's show on Sunday, and that she and her team are considering one option in June and another in July.

She confirmed she'd still be performing the second show in Manchester on Thursday, and that she will still go on in Birmingham on Sunday.

"I’ll find a way to not only make up the date with the performance but I’m going to create an added bonus for everyone that had a tkt for this show. Promise," Minaj said.

Earlier on Saturday, Minaj had shared numerous posts on social media detailing the incident.

In one video she shared on X, the rapper is seen being told that her luggage needs to be searched.

“I’m so sorry to say that,” a man at the airport tells her.

“But isn’t that what you planned on doing from the get-go? Why didn’t you guys search it before it went on the plane,” she responds.

The man says they did a “random quick check” but need to open the luggage.

In subsequent posts, Minaj said she believed people were trying to “stop this tour” and were lying to her.

“They took my luggage & when I asked where it is they said it’s on the plane. It couldn’t have been, I just pulled up,” she said. “I never gave them my bags. They’re refusing to let me see my own bags.”

In another post, she wrote: “They’re being paid big money to try to sabotage my tour b/c soooooo many ppl are mad that it’s this successful & they can’t eat off me. They got caught stealing money from my travel/jets. Got fired. Got mad. Etc.”

“This is how they plant things in your luggage,” another read.

Minaj said in the Sunday social media post she has video evidence of the encounter and she’ll “have the lawyers & GOD take it from here tho.”
