Moreover, the formre BCCI secretary has praised Ranbir on this occasion and said that he is a fan of the Brahmastra actor and watches all his films.
Sourav Ganguly said in praise of Ranbir Kapoor, ‘I am not praising Kapoor because he is present here. He is a very good actor, acting is in his blood. I have seen all his films, even the last film Brahmastra. I will also watch his next film Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar. I want to wish him all the best for the times to come.’
Sourav Ganguly praised the Kapoor family. He said that Ranbir comes from a famous and talented family. His father, mother, himself and now his wife are all brilliant actors. Acting is in the genes of this family. Acting is not a sport that stops after a while.

Sourav said, there are many such films whose name is remembered only because of Ranbir. “I don’t judge any film by its box office numbers. It doesn’t matter how much the film is earning or how many days it is running in theatres. I am sure the audience will love the acting of Ranbir and Shraddha in their upcoming film too,” said the former Indian skipper.
Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor starrer film Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar is releasing on March 8. The film is directed by Luv Ranjan.

Pakistani actor Ushna Shah trolled for dressing up like Indian bride, actor hits back
She even lashed out at a blogger who brought an uninvited photographer to the wedding despite stating that the event was meant for close friends and family.

Pakistani actor Ushna Shah recently tied the knot with golfer Hamza Amin in a private ceremony, but she was trolled for her wedding outfit.
The photos and videos of the newlyweds are doing rounds on social media. Ushna opted for a beautiful red bridal lehenga, while Amin chose to wear an ivory sherwani. However, the Teri Meri Love Story actor became the target of trolls for dressing up like an Indian bride. Not only this, but she was also trolling for dancing at her wedding festivities.
People took to Twitter and said that the couple is fooling people by promoting Indian culture in the name of Pakistani culture. One of the users tweeted, We shouldn’t tolerate it as it spoils our [Pakistani] own culture, traditional values and religious values as well.

Hitting back at trolls, Ushna Shah wrote, Mrs Amin (referencing her husband’s name), to those who have a problem with my dress: you weren’t invited, nor did you pay for my shade of red. My jewellery, my jora (wedding outfit): purely Pakistani. My heart, however, half-Austrian (hinting at her husband). Allah humein khush rakhey aameen (May God keep us happy).

She even lashed out at a blogger who brought an uninvited photographer to the wedding despite stating that the event was meant for close friends and family. She questioned the privacy of the bride as the photographer brought a drone that kept hovering loudly next to her head while she was signing.
Shah said she feels disgusted and violated. AB Lakhany, of Moovyshoovy, was invited out of obligation as she has known him for years and he happened to be at the office where the invitations were being designed His invite said strictly no plus one, she added.
Shah went on to say that the blogger was then sent a memo along with other guests to not record personal moments, especially the nikah. Not only did he bring a plus one, but he also brought a photographer without permission [and] lied to her family that she had allowed this. That photographer then sent exclusive unapproved photos to various [media] portals, she continued.
She further wrote, Beigaani shaadi mein jo inunived photographers ghuss gaye, unko salaam (my greetings to the uninvited photographers who came for our wedding).
