Vijay Deverakonda Drops a Hint: Is Rashmika the One?
Vijay Deverakonda has set the rumor mill spinning with his latest revelation—he’s no longer single! Fans are abuzz with one burning question: is Rashmika Mandanna the woman in his life?
For years, whispers of a relationship between the two South Indian stars have made headlines, though both have consistently dismissed the claims. However, during a recent promotional event in Mumbai, Vijay dropped a major hint. When asked about his relationship status, he cheekily replied, “I’m 35. Does anyone stay single at this age?”
He didn’t stop there. Vijay shared his thoughts on relationships, saying, “I don’t believe in dating. For me, a strong friendship is the foundation of everything. Once that bond grows, I think about the future.” Yet, he kept the identity of his partner a mystery.
Fans, however, are convinced the clues point to Rashmika. She has frequently called Vijay her closest friend and trusted advisor, and their undeniable chemistry on and off the screen only adds fuel to the speculation.
While Vijay’s admission has left everyone guessing, Rashmika has yet to comment. Could this finally confirm the long-rumored love story? Only time will tell.

Later, her grandfather Shamsul Haque Gazi took over as her guardian. On November 23 last year, her grandfather passed away while undergoing treatment in the ICU of a hospital in the capital.
It has been a year since Pori Moni's grandfather passed away on Saturday (November 23). Pori Moni is in Barishal on the first death anniversary of her grandfather. She has organized a prayer-mahfil.
Meanwhile, Pori Moni has shared two lines from a popular song by singer Haider Hossain on social media. On Saturday (November 23), Pori Moni wrote on her Facebook page, "When you respond to the call of destiny, only silence remains. The one who lost can understand the pain of separation!"
In the comments section of the post, one of Pori's followers wrote, "The words are true..."
Another person agreed with the heroine and wrote, "The one who lost can understand."
On the other hand, actress Pori Moni's first husband Ismail Hossain Jamaddar was killed in a road accident in Shibchar, Madaripur on the Dhaka-Bhanga highway.

The two, known for their close friendship, were spotted enjoying each other's company, with Hania even sharing glimpses of the event on her social media.

The clip shows the rapper greeting her, exchanging pleasantries, and then hyping up the crowd by asking them to “make some noise for Hania!” Fans immediately began wondering if there was more to their relationship than friendship.
This isn’t the first time the duo has sparked such rumors. Earlier this year, they were seen together at Diljit Dosanjh’s concert in London, where their playful chemistry also drew attention.
Despite the buzz, both Badshah and Hania have dismissed the idea of a romance. Badshah addressed the rumors, saying, “Hania is a great friend, and we always enjoy spending time together. That’s all there is to it.” Similarly, Hania praised Badshah as “a wonderful person” and reiterated that their relationship is purely platonic.
Even with their repeated denials, fans remain intrigued, speculating about what might truly be going on between the two.

Truth Behind Dipti's 'Child of a Freedom Fighter Family' Identity
When the country was in turmoil over the quota reform movement, Justice Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and BNP leader Golam Maula Rony were speaking on a television talk show in the country. The host of the program was Dipti Chowdhury.
In the 49-minute talk show, she showed quite an intelligent discussion and patience from the beginning. After that, she was praised on social media across the country.
Dipti went viral in a hurry. Her face was also included in the graffiti of the anti-discrimination student movement painted on the city wall. However, Dipti could not enjoy the discussion and praise with her heart. She also had to endure the sarcasm. At the end of the talk show, Dipti, angry with Justice Manik, shouted that she was the child of a freedom fighter family.
She has been facing body shaming for so long. She has also been facing sarcasm about her age.
This time, many netizens on social media are asking about the truth behind her 'child of a freedom fighter family' identity. Many are challenging Dipti's claim from various Facebook accounts and pages.
Not only that, many rumors are being spread about Dipti. Dipti Chowdhury is also being bullied through trolling on social media.
In such a context, a photo card with the name and logo of a media outlet in the country has been spread on Facebook containing Dipti's statement. The photo card reveals, "My grandmother's cousin's husband was a freedom fighter."
However, the alleged photo card has been posted on the media outlet's page as there is no truth to the post.
Meanwhile, on Friday (November 22), online activist Nijhum Majumdar wrote on her verified Facebook page, targeting Dipti Chowdhury, "Dipti Chowdhury, you called yourself a child of a freedom fighter family. Who was a freedom fighter in your family? In which sector? What is the name? What is your relationship with him? Simple matter. Why are you delaying in giving this simple answer?"
The fact that the viral photo card of Dipti was purposefully spread was revealed in an investigative report by the fact-checking department of the national daily 'Ajker Patrika'.
In that fact-check report, through various information and data, the issue of Dipti Chowdhury's family and her family's involvement with the Liberation War was revealed. The report said that Dipti's grandfather's house is in Ashtagram, Kishoreganj. Her father's name is Shibli Chowdhury. Dipti Chowdhury's grandfather's name is Nurul Islam Chowdhury, he was the chairman of Adampur Union Parishad of Ashtagram, Kishoreganj. During the Liberation War, Nurul Islam Chowdhury was one of the organizers of the Liberation War.
Since Nurul Islam Chowdhury's sister did not have any children, Dipti Chowdhury's father Shibli Chowdhury grew up with her. Later, they moved to Nasirnagar in Brahmanbaria with Shibli Chowdhury and started living there.
It is known that according to the information received, Shibli Chowdhury's two uncles (Nurul Islam Chowdhury's cousin) Qutub Uddin Chowdhury and Gias Uddin Chowdhury are government-certified freedom fighters. Among them, Qutub Uddin Chowdhury was an assistant teacher at Adampur Dewan Ali High School and is currently retired. Gias Uddin Chowdhury is deceased.
The names of Qutub Uddin Chowdhury and Gias Uddin Chowdhury can be found in the list of freedom fighters on the official website of Ashtagram Upazila.
