NY bar turns away turban-wearing Sikh youth
New York: A Sikh youth has claimed that a bar in New York’s Long Island didn’t let him enter because he was wearing a turban.
Gurvinder Grewal, a recent graduate from the Stony Brook University, went out to meet his friends late night on May 11 at the Harbor Grill in Port Jefferson. But the 23-year-old was “embarrassed” when a manager told him that he would not be allowed in with a head covering.
“I felt shocked, embarrassed and hurt,” Grewal told The New York Post daily on Wednesday.
“I never encountered a situation where I was refused a service or entry into an establishment for wearing a turban.
“I explained to the manager that it was a turban and I wore it to practice my religion. However, he kept telling me that it was the owner’s policy,” Grewal told the daily.
“I explained that I just wanted to hang out with some friends for the night and even went to the back of the line to try and explain my situation again a second time, which still did not work.”
The fine-dining spot with waterfront views enforces a dress code after 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The rules restrict all headwear. The manager told Grewal it was a new policy.
“(He was) wearing what would be more widely perceived as the slang term ‘dew rag’ or a ‘stocking cap’ and not a traditional turban,” the restaurant wrote in a Facebook post after residents expressed outrage.
“We do not allow hats or headwear in order to more capably identify people inside the establishment.”
The restaurant said that Harbor Grill “embraces people of all races and religions,” and does not discriminate against anyone for their creed or colour.
“We sincerely apologize for any distress that this incident may have caused. Please know that our weekend dress code policy is in place for the safety of all of our patrons.”
Grewal told The New York Post that Port Jefferson Mayor Margot Garant apologised to him for the incident and advised him on actions to take on the issue.
Is Mahesh Babu ‘Reddy Gari Abbayi?’
With Maharshi not satisfying the core masala seekers from Telugu films, it looks like fans already started expecting big from the upcoming film of Superstar Mahesh. It’s none other than the one that will be directed Anil Ravipudi once our hero returns from his United Kingdom tour.
Rumours are now coming that actually, Anil is considering some crazy titles for this movie. Earlier there was a talk that this script is nothing but the ‘Ramarao Garu’ story the director has narrated to Balayya Babu earlier. But now, the talk is that this film will have a faction element and the title will be like ‘Reddy Gari Abbayi’.
Like we revealed it earlier, the film will have the Rayalaseema touch as we have seen in Aagadu but it will be dealt with a huge dose of comedy. And then this title is more of a confirmation that indeed they are working on a film that is based on seema region.
However, sources close to the film confirmed that this is just a working title and the real title will be revealed later on.

Modi’s 1st press conference, Amit Shah Takes Questions, Rahul Trolls
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is perhaps the only Prime Minister in the history of India who did not attend press conference till date. But, he changed it with his first-ever press meet and interaction with journalists in Delhi where he appeared with BJP Party President Amit Shah. This Press Conference of Modi also made to the top trends on Twitter.
The Prime Minister, however, went off tangent when he began talking like one of his election speeches which soon got the media persons disinterested and frustrated. In his beginning lines at the press conference, Modi said: ‘Our democracy is a vibrant one, full of goodness. I have come to you to thank you for giving me ashirvad (blessings) and letting me work for the country for the last five years.’
However, when a reporter asked Modi a question, he responded saying he will not take any questions because the press conference is being addressed by Amit Shah and in BJP’s system, discipline has to be followed. This irked the journalists further and when another reporter asked a question to the Prime Minister, Amit Shah said ‘I will answer your questions. It is not necessary for the Prime Minister to answer every question of yours.’
However, he soon attracted trolls and criticism from the journalists who said Modi’s first press conference was probably confused as Modi’s Mann Ki Baat. Meanwhile, Congress President Rahul Gandhi tweeted: ‘Congratulations Modi Ji. Excellent Press Conference! Showing up is half the battle. Next time Mr Shah may even allow you to answer a couple of questions. Well done!’
Several trolls began criticising Modi for re-directing al the questions to Amit Shah. Journalists said ‘only Amit Shah answering questions at press conference. PM redirects questions to the party president, sitting quietly next to Shah on stage.’ Meanwhile, trolls had a field day as many said Modi didn’t have scripted answers like his interview with News Nation and that’s why he remained silent while some said it was Modi’s ‘guess appearance’ at his own press conference.
In Pics: Deepika Spices Up
Flaunting the best of their figures seems to be the motto of our star heroines who are strolling the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival and top siren Deepika Padukone has just taken the French Riveria by a storm.
Supposedly wearing four looks on Day 2 of Cannes, actually Deepika took even foreign photojournalists and celebrity photographers by a storm. Especially she has slipped into this lace dress where romanticism is flowing down every thread of it, the dusky Indian starlet dazzled like an angel from heaven.
Needless to say, her lacy look articulated her stunning curves every bit of it, its tough to handle the oodles of sex appeal she is actually oozing. Surely the lacy affair has made many folks jealous of Ranveer Singh, the hero who married her couple of months ago at a private ceremony.
‘I have never met Taapsee in my life,’ says producer
2018 unconventional love drama Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga received many positive reviews and has been critically acclaimed. Starring Sonam Kapoor, the film had her father Anil Kapoor in her father role, on the screen too.
However, when rumours have spread that actress Taapsee Pannu has been first roped in for the role instead of Sonam Kapoor, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra has come forward to clear the truth. He said only Sonam was approached first and did not even think of any other actress. He also went on to say that he never met Taapsee in his life.
He gave a strong reply to all the media reports about the news on Taapsee Pannu being offered a role in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga. ”I am the producer of the film and I have never met Taapsee in my life. Sonam was the first person cast in the film even before Anil Kapoor. This clarification is a matter principle. Articles like this undermine the movie-making process and are making a mockery out of a film that means a lot to us and the whole LGBTQI community,” he quoted.
The film was highly lauded for its unique concept as the story is all about same-sex marriage. Sonam Kapoor falls in love with another girl and she has to hide this truth out of fear. Later, on her father’s decision, she goes on to marry a writer, Rajkummar Rao, who is in love with her. As a husband, Rajkummar helps her come out to her family and society, making the whole story stand out.
Allu Arjun Gives Mega Hand To His Brother
At a time when a movie needs right buzz, definitely, some elders in the family should help. But when it comes to helping his little brother Allu Sirish, it looks like the Stylish Star has taken it in a lighter vein.
On April 15th, Allu Arjun has shared about the trailer of Sirish’s today releasing ABCD, but there is not a single word from him to create a buzz about the movie later on. Neither on Twitter nor on Instagram, the pages the actor himself operates, there is no single word about the film. Only his Team AA managed to share the release trailer of ABCD a couple of days ago on the actor’s Facebook page.
The point here is not about finding a mistake in Allu Arjun, but actually, ABCD is lacking the needed buzz despite some serious efforts by the producers. That is probably due to Allu Sirish’s lack of stardom and maybe his brother should help him get there. Any help from Bunny would get noticed by all media folks and other influencers on social media, and that way Sirish would have got better footfalls on opening day.
Meanwhile, there are those who say that even Sirish should work on his projects quite well that they will get a buzz with the trailer himself like how films like Pellichoopulu and Arjun Reddy got.
