As a school kid I landed in a struggling city called Delhi in 1998. As a professional I landed in a world class city called Delhi in 2009. You had a will of steel. No one could do what you did for our national capital Shiela ji! We miss you!🙏🙏 @Pawankhera @_SandeepDikshit pic.twitter.com/kD0WCw49Qy

Former union secretary of health K. Sujatha Rao rails against the despicable condition of India’s government hospitals.
Osmania hospital has flood waters in the ward, Bareilly hospital s roof collapses with a waterfall on patients and a Bangalore hospital has pigs roaming around the covid hospital. No wonder we are busy constructing temples. So much easier than managing govt hospitals. So shameful

Congress leader Yasmin Kidwai misses Kangana’s “hate torrent” on Republic TV Saturday.
Yesterday’s situation in Delhi wit flooding in #AnnaNagar made me miss the hate torrent by #KanganaRanawat -her tirades against @ReallySwara & @taapsee only show her innate insecurity & make these girls & their dignity shine more ♥️
Get well soon Kangana

How Kangana Ranaut makes it “all about herself”.
Kangana Ranaut is extremely brave. Not everyone can have the guts to use the tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput and make it all about herself

Filmmakers Anubhav Sinha and Hansal Mehta wonder if it’s time for the film industry to find a new home.
मेरा तो दिल कह रहा है। बहुत समय से। सुधीर भई से कहा वो भी बोले चलो। और भी कुछ दोस्तों से बात की थी यूँ ही।सब बोलते हैं चलो। चला जाय क्या बम्बई से? कही और जहां शांति हो थोड़ी। जिस तरह की बातें होनी लगी हैं, हमारे बिज़नेस में वो दर्दनाक हैं। दिल दुखता है। https://t.co/IsGrbFxlI1
