Amitabh Bachchan injured on sets of ‘Project K’

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has been injured on the sets of his film Project K while shooting in Hyderabad.

In his recent blog post, the actor wrote that his rib cartilage broke and he suffered a “muscle tear to the right rib cage”.

While he is at his Jalsa home recovering from the injury, experts revealed how a torn rib cartilage can be painful even when a person is breathing or coughing.

In the blog, the actor wrote that while the strapping has been done, he has to rest due to severe pain. “Strapping has been done and rest been advocated, yes painful, on movement and breathing, will take some weeks they say before some normalisation will occur. Some medication is on also for pain. So, all work that was to be done has been suspended and cancelled, dropped or postponed for the moment until healing occurs,” he wrote.

TikTok sets daily screen time limit for under-18s

 

TikTok is setting a 60-minute daily screen time limit for users who are aged under 18.

If young people hit the new limit, they will have to enter a passcode to continue to use the service that day.

But they will be able to opt out of the new measure, which TikTok says will be rolled out “in the coming weeks”.

The video app, which is owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, said it is introducing the feature to help people “stay in control” of their use.

TikTok said the new limit comes after it brought in a prompt last year to encourage teens to manage their screen time. It said this helped “increase the use of our screen time tools by 234%”.

Users of the platform have to be at least 13, and, as part of this new feature, anyone under the age of 18 will receive a weekly notification with a “recap of their screen time”.

I will not contest elections, Damitha reiterates!

 

Actress Damitha Abeyratne said that she will never contest any election even though she supports the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB).

She said that she would never give up despite the slanders thrown at by the JVP.

“I did not help any political party during the Aragalaya. Now the JVP says that we have rectified our previous mistakes. I have never voted for the Rajapaksas. I will not give up simply because the JVP has made accusations. I have the right to make my own decisions,” she said.
