REVEALED: Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma’s new look in Sultan! See their Valentine’s Day pose!

The shooting of Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma’s first film together, Sultan, is on in full swing. After the first look, the makers Yash Raj Films (YRF) have released a new look of Salman and Anushka in the movie on Valentine’s Day, February 14. The two stars who play wrestlers in Sultan are seen in track suits in the new photo, like true sportsmen. Salman has done away with his moustache in this poster, while Anushka looks simple with her hair tied in a braid. We like that she is carrying a flower in one hand.
In the new photo from Sultan, Salman and Anushka are posing together in a typical akhada or wrestling den, with the following words in Hindi painted on the wall behind them, “Uunch neech ki uljhan mein pad kar, manushya insaaniyat kho baithta hai“. It means something like this: In the battle for supremacy, human beings are forgetting how to be humane

Disappointed but won’t give up on connecting India: Mark Zuckerberg

This restricts one of Internet.org’s initiatives, Free Basics, as well as programmes by other organizations that provide free access to data,” the 31-year-old billionaire posted on Tuesday.

North Korea rocket launch a direct violation’ of UN resolutions

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg today blasted North Korea’s launch of a long-range rocket as a blatant breach of five UN resolutions and demanded Pyongyang comply with international law. In a statement, Stoltenberg said he strongly condemned the launch, which entailed the use of ballistic missile technology and came after a widely-condemned nuclear test on January 6. “This launch is in direct violation of five United Nations Security Council Resolutions,” he said. Those resolutions “repeatedly call for North Korea to suspend all activities related to its ballistic missile programme, to re-establish its pre-existing commitments to a moratorium on missile launching and not to conduct any further nuclear test or any launch using ballistic missile technology,” he said. “NATO continues to call on the North Korean authorities to comply with their obligations under international law, not to threaten with or conduct any launches using ballistic missile technology and to refrain from any further provocative actions.” North Korea earlier announced that it had placed a satellite into orbit under its right to the “peaceful and independent” use of space.
