Ranvir Shorey Calls Out Swara Bhasker’s Jauhar Comment While Rashmika Mandanna Says Her Hip Injury Turned Into Quality Time With Vijay Deverakonda

It all started when Swara Bhasker, fresh from a press interview, remarked that the climactic “Jauhar” scene in Deepika Padukone’s 2018 epic Padmaavat could be read as a cruel message to survivors of sexual violence. She wondered whether the film, in her view, subtly suggested that women who don’t choose death are somehow cowardly.

Ranvir Shorey, never one to stay quiet, jumped onto X (formerly Twitter) and asked, “What does Jauhar have to do with rape survivors?” He called the comparison “shameless,” insisting the two historical contexts are worlds apart. In his short, pepper‑filled reply, he accused Bhasker of trying to paint one community in a bad light while white‑washing another.

Bhasker later clarified that her words had been mistranslated, insisting she never intended to equate the ancient practice of Jauhar with modern‑day sexual assault. Still, the back‑and‑forth kept the comment section buzzing for days, reminding us how quickly a single line can snowball into a full‑blown controversy.

On a completely different note, actress Rashmika Mandanna gave fans a glimpse into her recent mishap. While shooting the high‑octane thriller Mysaa, she suffered a hip injury that forced her to pause filming. Doctors gave her the green light to return within a week, but Rashmika chose to get back on set the very next day because her upcoming film Ranabaali – the one she’s doing with husband Vijay Deverakonda – was gearing up for a release.

In a candid chat with the Hindustan Times, she admitted that the forced break turned out to be a blessing in disguise. “I got more time with Vijay,” she laughed, adding that the downtime let them rehearse scenes together and simply enjoy each other’s company, something the busy shooting schedule rarely allows.

While Bollywood’s drama unfolded, the music world had its own buzz. Lollapalooza India 2027 finally announced its line‑up, with Grammy‑winner Olivia Dean and nu‑metal veterans Limp Bizkit headlining the Mumbai edition at Mahalaxmi Racecourse on Jan 23‑24. The festival promises a wild mix of sounds, from 5 Seconds of Summer to Indian Ocean.

So whether it’s a heated debate over historical representation or a serendipitous injury that gives a couple extra moments together, the entertainment world never seems to run out of stories that keep us talking.
