										<content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Actor Prakash Raj unleashed a scathing attack on Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi, calling his handling of the hung assembly “disgusting, unacceptable, and unconstitutional” after Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) was denied an immediate invitation to form government despite emerging as the single largest party.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a fiery Instagram post, Raj declared: “This Governor’s behaviour is Disgusting… unacceptable and unconstitutional. We may have differences… but Vijay has got the mandate. He should be allowed to claim his right on the floor of the house.” The outburst comes amid political deadlock following the 2026 Tamil Nadu elections, where TVK secured 108 seats in the 234-member assembly—falling 10 short of the 118 majority mark after Vijay resigned from one of his dual victories (Tiruchirapalli East).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Governor Ravi reportedly asked Vijay to return with formal letters of support from 118 MLAs before scheduling a meeting, sparking accusations of overreach. Constitutional experts note Governors must invite the largest party first, with floor tests proving majority—not preemptive alliance lists. Raj joins VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan and others criticizing the move as interference favoring BJP alliances. Congress offered conditional support (demanding cabinet posts), while AIADMK negotiates, leaving Vijay needing 11 external MLAs post-Speaker adjustments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-width=&quot;550&quot; data-dnt=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;This Governor s behaviour is Disgusting .. unacceptable and unconstitutional. We may have differences … but Vijay has got the mandate . He should be allowed to claim his right on the floor of the house. &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/hashtag/justasking?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;#justasking&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/T72CVedXhJ&quot;&gt;https://t.co/T72CVedXhJ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;— Prakash Raj (@prakashraaj) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/prakashraaj/status/2052253123805421572?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;May 7, 2026&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TVK’s debut triumph stunned Dravidian majors—DMK and AIADMK—positioning Vijay as a fresh anti-corruption force. Ravi’s caution echoes past controversies (Kerala, Maharashtra Governors delaying invites), fueling “constitutional violation” charges. Prakash Raj, known for critiquing ruling dispensations across parties, positioned himself as democracy’s watchdog: “Let the house decide!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vijay met Ravi May 6 with seniors like K.A. Sengottaiyan, but returned empty-handed. TVK eyes secular coalitions excluding BJP, mirroring Bengal’s 2026 dynamics. Assembly convening looms as President’s Rule whispers grow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raj’s vocal support for Vijay—despite past film rivalries—highlights Tamil industry’s political awakening post-Nayanthara, Dhanush endorsements. Fans praised: “Prakash speaks truth to power!” As negotiations intensify, the Governor’s next move determines if TVK’s mandate translates to chief ministership or fresh polls.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The saga underscores federal tensions in India’s diverse politics, with Prakash Raj amplifying constitutional calls amid high-stakes horse-trading&lt;/p&gt;

					<description><![CDATA[On her visit to Karan Johar&apos;s &apos;Koffee With Karan&apos;, Aishwarya Rai recalled the time when she sued a magazine for penning a false report about her, Akshay Kumar, and Raveena Tandon.
]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the Bollywood diva, is among the most beautiful actresses in Indian cinema history. She was a leading lady of her era, regardless of whether we focus on her beauty or acting prowess. She still exudes the same grace, style, and aura that made her famous in the good old days, despite being 49 years old. The Hindi film industry was led by Aishwarya Rai at one point, and there’s an intriguing story about her from that era.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rajkumar Santoshi brought together a star-studded cast for his neo-noir action movie Khakee in 2004. Stars like Tusshar Kapoor, Atul Kulkarni, Prakash Raj, Tanuja, Aishwarya Rai, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, and Amitabh Bachchan are among the film’s cast members. Although the movie was a financial success, viewers fell in love with Akshay and Aishwarya primarily due to their on-screen romance. However, everything took a drastic turn when an industry-shattering article about Akshay and Aishwarya was published in the renowned celebrity magazines Star and Style.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img decoding=&quot;async&quot; class=&quot;alignnone wp-image-393782 size-full&quot; src=&quot;https://www.businessupturn.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Aishwarya-Rai-r-2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;1200&quot; height=&quot;675&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.businessupturn.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Aishwarya-Rai-r-2.jpg 1200w, https://www.businessupturn.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Aishwarya-Rai-r-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.businessupturn.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Aishwarya-Rai-r-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.businessupturn.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Aishwarya-Rai-r-2-400x225.jpg 400w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aishwarya Rai discussed the controversial event during her appearance on Karan Johar’s celebrity conversation programme Koffee With Karan. The incident occurred during the making of Khakee, and it was stated by Star and Style magazine that she was caught red-handed by Raveena with Akshay. Aishwarya disclosed the whole episode and said she sued the magazine for publishing such an untrue account of her and Akshay. Aishwarya withheld the identity of the actress whom Raveena exposed as having slept with Akshay. She recalled the same thing, saying, “Well, at the very beginning of my career, I was very furious, and I had taken, Star and Style to court, because they had carried an article when the whole world knew who it was and not me. But it was presented that I was caught with Akshay Kumar (laughs), and Raveena had come and apparently blasted me when it was absolutely untrue. Everybody knew who that was; it wasn’t me.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

					<description><![CDATA[Karnataka has booked Prakash Raj, who caused a stir by making fun of India&apos;s Moon Mission, Chandrayaan-3]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;On August 23, at about 18:04 IST, ISRO reports that the Chandrayaan-3 will touch down on the moon. India will thus become the fourth nation in the world, following the US, Russia, and China, to accomplish this accomplishment. Not only that, but India will be the only nation on Earth to set foot on the lunar south pole. The Chandrayaan-3 mission has three main goals: it will demonstrate a gentle and safe landing on the moon, it will display a rover wandering the moon, and it will carry out in-situ scientific research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raj, who has made his mark in films such as Kanchivaram, Singham and Wanted, contested as an independent candidate for Bengaluru Central Lok Sabha constituency during the 2019 general elections and lost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to police on Tuesday, actor Prakash Raj has been booked at a police station in the Bagalkot region of Karnataka for making fun of the Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) ambitious Chandrayaan-3 third lunar mission on social media. Prakash tweeted a cartoon of a man pouring tea while wearing a vest and lungi, referring to it as the “first picture coming from the Moon”—a subtle jab at Chandrayaan 3 mission’s Vikram Lander—as the spacecraft is making history by landing on the Moon’s south pole. A complaint has now been made over the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-width=&quot;550&quot; data-dnt=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Karnataka | A Police complaint has been filed against actor Prakash Raj for his tweet on Chandrayaan-3 mission. Hindu organisations&apos; leaders filed a complaint against him at Banahatti police station of Bagalkote district and demanded action.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(File photo) &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/Fvyl2FJqFU&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/Fvyl2FJqFU&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;— ANI (@ANI) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1693889285479715089?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;August 22, 2023&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Prakash Raj’s tweet&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In his tweet, the veteran actor shared the cartoon and wrote, “BREAKING NEWS:- First picture coming from the Moon by #VikramLander Wowww #justasking.” The post prompted criticism from users who found his remark derogatory with people saying that the Chandrayaan-3 mission is linked to the country’s pride.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“The problem with Hate is, once you start hating someone then eventually your hate becomes so strong that you start hating everyone. You forgot the difference between the person, ideology and national achievement. Everything looks the same! Sad to see a talented actor behaving like this!” commented comedian Appurv Gupta. Clarifying that Chandrayaan 3 is an ISRO mission, and not associated with any political party, another user wrote, “Prakash ji, this Chandryan mission is from ISRO not BJP. If it gets succeed, it’s for India not for any party. Why you want this mission to fail? BJP is just a ruling party. It will go one day. But, ISRO will remain for years and will make us proud.  In search of truth, you’re forgetting basic nationalism. India’s failure shouldn’t be a victory. Keep ISRO aside from this political hate.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prakash Raj found himself in deep trouble after posting a controversial photo mocking the Indian Moon Mission. Following the backlash, ‘Arrest Prakash Raj’ has been trending on X (formerly Twitter). Users have been demanding the arrest of the actor for taking a swipe at India’s Moon Mission.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This post led to a barrage of criticism from netizens who viewed it as a mockery of India’s scientific endeavors.&lt;/p&gt;

					<description><![CDATA[Prakash Raj faced harsh criticism for his callous comments about the Chandrayaan 3 mission, which was caustic and derogatory to ISRO and the country.

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;On Twitter on Sunday, Prakash Raj posted a cartoon of a man pouring tea from one cup to another while dressed in a lungi and shirt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The joke is said to be about astronaut Neil Armstrong Edwin, who was shocked to find a Malayali running a tea shop on the moon. While the country is celebrating the arrival of Chandrayaan 3, Prakash Raj is under fire for a recent tweet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He tweeted, “First view just arrived from Chandrayaan.. #VikramLander #justasking.” He received strong criticism for being disrespectful of ISRO and the country after making a snide post regarding the mission. However, the actor later claimed that the tweet was a prank.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-width=&quot;550&quot; data-dnt=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;BREAKING NEWS:- &lt;br /&gt;First picture coming from the Moon by &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/hashtag/VikramLander?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;#VikramLander&lt;/a&gt; Wowww &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/hashtag/justasking?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;#justasking&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/RNy7zmSp3G&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/RNy7zmSp3G&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;— Prakash Raj (@prakashraaj) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/prakashraaj/status/1693280942012698805?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;August 20, 2023&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This tweet, however, unexpectedly backfired and prompted a heated controversy. In truth, Prakash Raj was charged with a crime at the Bagalkot police station in Karnataka for his post about the Chandrayaan-3 project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Leaders of Hindu organisations filed a complaint against the actor in Banahatti police station of Bagalkote district and have demanded action,” the police are quoted as saying to NDTV.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He then lashed back and netizens and defended his post. He wrote, “Hate sees only Hate.. i was referring to a joke of #Armstrong times .. celebrating our kerala Chaiwala .. which Chaiwala did the TROLLS see ?? .. if you dont get a joke then the joke is on you .. GROW UP(sic).”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-width=&quot;550&quot; data-dnt=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Hate sees only Hate.. i was referring to a joke of &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/hashtag/Armstrong?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;#Armstrong&lt;/a&gt; times .. celebrating our kerala Chaiwala .. which Chaiwala did the TROLLS  see ??  .. if you dont get a joke then the joke is on you  ..

&lt;p&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chandrayaan 3, the Indian Space Research Organization’s third lunar mission, is planned to land on the moon on August 23 at 18:04 IST.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ISRO website, YouTube channel, Facebook page, and television network DD National will all be live-streaming Vikram’s moon landing. India joins the United States, Russia, and China as the fourth country to achieve this feat, which fills the country with pride.&lt;/p&gt;

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Bollywood and South Actor and Politician Prakash Raj is in the headlines for the past few weeks for his unfiltered opinion on ‘ Boycott Pathaan’ and his comments on The Kashmir Files. Recently a video of Prakash Raj is surfacing on the internet where he addressed the boycott gang as barking dogs who just bark and does not bite, he didn’t stop at this he continued and called Kashmir Files a ‘ nonsense’ film.  Prakash Raj has even mocked the claim of that the film has a chance of winning Oscar Award.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kashmir Files directed by Vivek Agnihotri has been in news ever since it release in March last year. The movie is based on the lives of Kashmiri Pandits who were forced to migrate from their hometown Kashmir in 90s. The movie was also in headlines because of controversial comments made on it by other filmmakers, like one of the filmmaker Nadav Lipid called Kashmir Files vulgar propaganda at a film festival in Goa. After the negative remarks of Prakash Raj on the movie, director Vivek Agnihotri responded to the comment saying the film has been giving Prakash Raj sleepless night and called him an Urban Naxal. Vivelk Agnihotri tweeted ” A small , people’s film#TheKashmirFiles has given sleepless nights to #UrbanNaxals so that one of their Pidi is troubled even after one year, calling its viewer’s barking dogs and Mr. Andhkaar Raj, how can I get Bhaskar, she/he is all yours Forever.” Vivek Agnihotri called Prakash Raj as Andhkaar Raj as Prakash means light and Andhkaar means darkness, which is the complete opposite of light.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This what Vivek Agnihotri has to say about Prakash Raj:&lt;/p&gt;
