BTS

South Korean pop band BTS are officially members of the Guinness World Records ‘Hall of Fame’ after breaking 23 records in 2021.

Guinness World Records announced this in a statement on Friday.

“The Boys are in the book. After breaking countless records throughout 2021, they have also cemented their place in the Guinness World Records Hall of Fame,” it said.

Their list of accomplishments is truly impressive.

Among the records celebrated by Guinness are: most streamed group on Spotify (16.3 billion), most streamed track on Spotify in the first 24 hours (‘Butter’, 11.04 million), most Twitter engagements for a music group, most viewers for the premiere of a music video on YouTube (for ‘Butter’, 3.9 million, which replaced their previous record for ‘Dynamite’), most weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s digital song sales chart (‘Dynamite’, 18 weeks), most streamed track on Spotify in first 24 hours (‘Butter’), most viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours (‘Butter’, 108,200,000 times), most tickets sold for a live-streamed concert (756,000), most followed music group on Instagram, and most Nickelodeon Kids Choice awards won by a music group, according to Billboard.com.

“Despite their young age, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have left a mark in the present cultural landscape, breaking free from the limitations of their home market and of a language – Korean – that remains widely unknown to the international public,” Guinness wrote in an article announcing the news.

“In fact, through their art, the seven artistes are raising awareness around Korean culture and language (which earned them the ambitious 5th class of the Order of Cultural Merit, the Flower Crown).”

BTS also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy band that was formed in 2010 and debuted in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment. The septet – composed of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook – co-writes and co-produces much of their own output. Originally a hip-hop group, their musical style has evolved to include a wide range of genres.

Nargis Fakhri has always guarded her personal life, and has never spoken about her relationships. Many years ago, she was in the news for dating Uday Chopra, but both the actors never confirmed their relationship. Later, Nargis made it to the headlines for being in a relationship with businessman Tony Beig, but once again, the actress never spoke about it.

Now, recently, there have been reports of Nargis and Tony getting married, and a few inside pictures of their wedding made it to the social media. However, in those pictures apart from the venue and a cake, we don’t get to see anything else.

A report in TOI confirmed that the two got married last week in California and the wedding was a low-key affair. Reportedly, the couple are currently on their honeymoon in Switzerland.

While Nargis’ fans wait to see their favourite actress’ wedding pictures, let us give you a brief about who Tony Beig is. The 41-year-old businessman hails from Kashmir, but he is now settled in the US. He is the founder of Dioz Group which was launched in 2006. Many brands like Alanic, Oasis, 8Health, 8EV and 1 Energy come under Dioz Group.

Beig did his MBA from Victoria University of Technology in Melbourne, and while his company has its headquarters in Los Angeles, they have multiple offices in different parts of the world like London, Dubai, Riyadh, Sydney, Dhaka, Shanghai, and Kolkata.

Tony’s brother Johnny Beig is a film producer, and his father Shakeel Ahmad Beig is a politician. Shakeel Ahmad Beig earlier was the Deputy Inspector General of Jammu and Kashmir.

Nargis hails from the US, and reportedly, the two have been in a relationship from the past three years. While Nargis and Tony have not yet officially announced their wedding, the latter recently shared a picture with the actress on his Instagram story.

Meanwhile, the actress, who has been away from the big screens for quite sometime, is all set to make her comeback with Housefull 5.

New Delhi, Feb 21: The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to examine a plea filed by popular YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani seeking to quash or transfer to Mumbai an FIR registered against him in Guwahati following the vulgar and crass comments made about parents on the comedy show “India’s Got Latent”.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N.K. Singh issued notice on Chanchlani’s plea and tagged it with the pending plea of prime accused Ranveer Allahbadia.

The apex court took note of the fact that the Guwahati High Court on Tuesday had already granted interim relief to Chanchlani, asking him to appear before the Investigating Officer within ten days.

Ashish Chanchlani appeared on Samay Raina’s show “India’s Got Latent” along with other content creators like Ranveer Allahbadia, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija.

A controversy erupted after Allahbadia, during the show, asked a female contestant: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”

The distasteful remark immediately sparked outrage among viewers and critics alike and following the controversy, Raina took down all episodes of the show from YouTube.

A formal complaint was filed with both the Mumbai Police Commissioner and the Maharashtra Women’s Commission. The Guwahati Crime Branch registered a case under Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), 2023, the IT Act, 2000, the Cinematograph Act, 1952, and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act,1986.

In a post on X, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said: “Guwahati police has registered an FIR against certain Youtubers and social Influencers. They are Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Apoorva Mukhija, Ranveer Allahabadia, and Samay Raina and others for promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussion in a show titled ‘India’s Got Latent’.”

Allahbadia, who is known for his BeerBiceps brand, also issued an apology admitting that it was “not appropriate” and “not even funny.”

The Supreme Court granted him interim relief after he filed a petition under Article 31 seeking protection from coercive action and challenging the multiple FIRs lodged against him across various states.
