‘Haath uthana galat hai’: Mouni Roy on Chestha-Arjun fight
Mumbai– Actress Mouni Roy, who is currently seen as the host of the dating reality show ‘Temptation Island India’, took a strong stand in the matter where Chestha slapped Arjun after catching him in a lie about meeting someone else, saying “whether it’s a boy or a girl, what is wrong is wrong”.
In the latest episode of ‘Temptation Island India’, the show is gearing up for its final bonfire before the season finale, marking the culmination of the journey for the five couples who navigated through the highs and lows of their relationships amid various temptations.
One incident that has remained a focal point of discussion since the beginning of the season is the altercation between Chestha and Arjun, where Chestha slapped Arjun after catching him in a lie about meeting someone else.
Addressing the situation, Mouni, known as the ‘Queen of Hearts’, took a strong stand in the matter during a heart-to-heart conversation with Chestha.
Expressing her thoughts, Mouni emphasised: “Galtiyaan sab se hoti hai. We all agree, but haath uthana galat hai. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, what is wrong is wrong. We understand that every action has a certain reaction, but often your reactions are bigger than the action.”
“If you had expressed your feelings instead of resorting to physical confrontation with your partner, you would have been in the right. The moment you resort to violence, you may stand wrong after that. Your actions define and say a lot about you.”
Delving deeper into the challenges on the island, Mouni reflected: “On this island, I am pretty sure that expressing your concerns about your 12-year-long relationship is very difficult. This is probably the most challenging situation any human can go through. Respect ka daaira chala jata hai to relationship nahi tikta (If the circle of respect is breached, the relationship won’t sustain). It’s a sensitive topic, and we should deal with it sensibly.”
‘Temptation Island India’ streams on JioCinema.
Sunny Deol, Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer ‘Border 2’ to go on floors in 2024
Mumbai– After the historic success of ‘Gadar 2’, Bollywood actor Sunny Deol is set to join forces with actor Ayushmann Khurrana for ‘Border 2’. The film, helmed by J.P. Dutta’s daughter, producer-writer Nidhi Dutta, is expected to start shooting in the first quarter of 2024.
Sunny Deol, who played a pivotal role in ‘Border’, will once again lead the cast with the film set to delve into the historical backdrop of the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
The remaining cast is expected to be finalised in the coming weeks.
A source revealed: “Nidhi Dutta who is also penning the script, envisions ‘Border 2’ as the biggest war film ever made in the country. Unlike its predecessors, the movie aims to showcase the collaborative efforts of the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, offering a comprehensive perspective on the 1971 war. The narrative is expected to interweave personal stories of war heroes and martyrs, adding a human touch to the grand spectacle of warfare.”
The groundwork for the film began in 2022, involving multiple trips to Delhi to obtain necessary permissions from the Defence Ministry for shooting in real locations and using authentic names, ensuring an authentic representation of historical events. J.P. Dutta was adamant about creating a story that would do justice to the legacy of ‘Border’.
The film not only pays tribute to the historical events of the 1971 war but also explores the human stories that unfolded on the battlefield.
