Pakistani actress Ushna Shah SHUTS DOWN trolls for criticising ‘Indian style’ wedding lehenga

Pakistani actress Ushna Shah got married to golf player Hamza Amin in a grand ceremony on February 26. However, she was brutally trolled on the internet for the bright red lehenga that she chose to wear on her wedding day. Several netizens were seen slamming the actress for wearing, what they termed as an ‘Indian style lehenga’, and claimed that she does not respect the Pakistani culture. The actress, who is busy beaming in marital bliss, has now finally decided to break her silence and shut the trolls once and for all. Sharing a picture of her mehendi-clad hand and flaunting her diamond ring in a new picture, Ushna schooled trolls by making it clear that they had no right to question her lehenga since they did not pay for it. ”To those who have a problem with my dress: You weren’t invited, nor did you pay for my shade of red. My jewellery, my jora: Purely Pakistani. My heart however, half Austrian. Allah humein khush rakhey, Ameen,” she wrote.She also took a dig at the Pakistani paparazzi and wrote, “Beigaani shaadi mein jo uninvited photographers ghuss gaye, unko salaam.” Ushna Shah is a popular name in Pakistan and she is known for working in Urdu television. She marked her debut in 2013 with ‘Mere Khwabon Ka Diya’. However, it was not until 2014 when she became a household name with her show ‘Bashar Momin’.Ushna has also played prominent roles in several other shows including ‘Alif Allah Aur Insaan’, ‘Balaa’ and others.

Home Loan Eligibility: How Will The Bank Decide It For You?

In India, home loans are a common way for individuals to finance the purchase of a residential property.The amount you can borrow for a home loan usually depends on your income, credit score, and the value of the property you want to purchase. Most lenders offer loans of up to 80% of the property value, but this can vary.Home loan interest rates in India can vary depending on the lender, the loan amount, and the loan tenure. Some lenders may also offer floating or fixed interest rates.Home loans in India typically have tenures of up to 30 years, but this can vary depending on the lender and the borrower’s age.Your bank will assess your repayment capacity while deciding the home loan eligibility.Repayment capacity is based on your monthly disposable income and other factors like spouse’s income, assets, liabilities, stability of income etc..

As per the RBI, the main concern of the bank is to make sure that you comfortably repay the loan on time and ensure end use. The higher the monthly disposable income, the higher will be the amount you will be eligible for loan.Typically a bank assumes that about 55-60 % of your monthly disposable / surplus income is available for repayment of loan.However, some banks calculate the income available for EMI payments based on an individual’s gross income and not on his disposable income. The amount of the loan depends on the tenure of the loan and the rate of interest also as these variables.

Abhinay Deo, who will make his web series directing debut with Karisma Kapoor-starrer Brown,

Singh, Sunayana Kumari and Mayukh Ghosh. Abhinay spoke about how OTT has lost its initial promise. The director told Mid-Day in an interview, “We are in a good and a bad place. It’s good because the format allows us to do so much more. But at the same time, [OTT content] has started getting into a rut. Once upon a time, it was an [avenue] where we could have made great cinema. But now, suddenly, we are [being dominated] by the need for big numbers.”He continued, “So, we need to [cast] big actors in the projects. Unfortunately, we are moving into the same template [as theatrical movies]. As OTT evolves further, hopefully, it will get to a better place.” The filmmaker is best known for the black comedy Delhi Belly (2011), starring Imran Khan, Vir Das and Kunaal Roy Kapur. He revealed that he is still asked for a sequel for the comedy, but hasn’t come up with a fitting story for it yet. Abhinay is the son of actors Ramesh and Seema Deo. His father Ramesh had acted in nearly 500 films in the Hindi and Marathi film industries. He died last year of a heart attack at 96. His brother Ajinkya Deo also acts in Hindi and Marathi films and is part of the ensemble cast of Salman Khan-starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan later this year.
