EXCLUSIVE: Tia Bajpai and Arian Romals FANAA gets 18+ restriction on YouTube: We wanted to make the scariest music video, and we did

Tia Bajpai and Arian Romals FANAA has drawn attention for combining music with elements of horror. Presented as a horror music video, the project was designed to create an unsettling viewing experience. However, its intense content has also led to an 18+ age restriction on YouTube. The makers opened up about the response to the video and the challenges caused by the age restriction. They shared, We have had lots of issues with YouTube and everywhere else with the 18+ tag being put on it. We were also told that its too scary to watch for viewers. We wanted to make the scariest music video, and we did. Now we are seeing the downside of it. Since the video is not being shown to users, the only way people can watch it is if they are logged in, over 18 and specifically searching for the song. Its kind of cool, but also bad in the same way. While the YouTube restriction has affected the video's visibility, FANAA has continued to reach viewers on Instagram. The full video has reportedly crossed almost 10 million views on the platform, giving the project a different response across social media platforms. The 18+ classification has also become part of the conversation around the music video. According to the makers, such restrictions are uncommon for music videos. FANAA was created with a focus on horror and suspense, and its classification has further highlighted the intensity of its visual content. Tia Bajpai, who has previously explored the horror genre, takes on a central role in the video. Her performance forms the core of the narrative, which unfolds with the structure and atmosphere of a horror short film rather than a conventional music video. Speaking about the shoot, Tia Bajpai said, Shooting FANAA was a completely different experience for me because we were trying to create something that feels like more than just a music video. The atmosphere, the visuals and the emotions of the character required me to completely immerse myself in that world. There were moments on set that were genuinely intense, but that is also what made the experience exciting and memorable. I think audiences will connect with FANAA because beneath the horror and suspense, there is a strong emotional layer to the story. It keeps you curious, makes you feel something and hopefully stays with you even after the video ends. Arian Romals music complements the visual narrative, bringing together haunting melodies, suspense and darker imagery. The makers have also included warnings asking viewers not to watch the video alone and to keep the lights on. With the full video nearing 10 million views on Instagram, FANAA continues to attract attention despite the restrictions on YouTube. The project combines music, horror and narrative storytelling to present the song in a format that differs from a conventional music video.

EXCLUSIVE: Chahatt Khanna recalls being held by aunties in malls after her Bade Achhe Lagte Hain character turned villain; says, It became difficult for me to step out, reveals why shed consider doing The Traitors over Alliance!

Actress Chahatt Khanna, who was recently seen in Hungama OTTs Hasratein 4, has revealed that she was approached for the reality show Alliance, but she turned down the offer because of the shows long filming schedule and no-phone requirement. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, the actress also opened up about possibly participating in The Traitors and taking her business to Shark Tank India. Chahatt Khanna reveals why she turned down Alliance Chahatt revealed that she was approached for Alliance, but the commitment required for the show did not work for her. According to the actress, she was expected to spend several weeks away from her phone, which would have been difficult because she also runs a company. Yes, I was approached for Alliance. And they had come in touch with me. I think they wanted 40, 45, 62 days, without phone and all. I was like, I won't be able to do it. Because, I am running a company also, she said. Chahatt added that she could consider participating in a shorter-format reality show. So, I will be able to do it for a few days, maybe for a show like The Traitors. But if you ask me to leave my phone for 60 days, what will happen to my company? So, I couldn't do it. The lines didn't work out. Chahatt Khanna says she could consider The Traitors While Chahatt has not watched the recent season of The Traitors India in full, she said she has seen some episodes and heard stories about the show from contestant Sahil. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen the first. I haven't seen this. I have seen some episodes. I have seen Sahil (Salathia). He is very funny, she said. The actress explained that her busy schedule leaves her with little time for television and reality shows. I don't get time to watch TV. Hardly, I get time. Chahatt said she is selective about how she spends her free time. If I will watch it anytime, I like to watch cinema. If I want to spend my time. If I want to spend my precious time, I like to watch what I like. Not just because it is new. I don't follow trends. She added, I want to invest my time where it is meaningful for me. So, I am very, very confused when it comes to investing time. You ask me money, I will give. You ask me time, I can't. Chahatt Khanna open to taking her business to Shark Tank India Chahatt also revealed that she has considered taking her business to Shark Tank India. While she has not committed to a timeline, the actress said it could happen this year or next year. Sometimes, I watch some episodes of Shark Tank, she said when asked if she would consider taking her business to the show. Asked about her plans, Chahatt said, Yes, we can. Maybe this year or next year we can plan to do that. The actress, however, reiterated that her limited free time makes it difficult to keep up with reality television. She said that when she gets time, she would rather rest, scroll through her phone or watch something she finds meaningful. Chahatt Khanna recalls the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain backlash Chahatt also revisited one of her most recognised television roles, Ayesha from Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. The character initially won over viewers before being portrayed negatively, after which the actress began facing strong reactions from audiences in public spaces. Before she turned a bitch, everyone liked her. Then when she turned into a bitch, people used to stop her in the mall and ask her why she is after her sister's life and all, Chahatt recalled. She further revealed that some viewers would physically stop her to question the characters actions. Aunties used to hold me tight and scold me, What do you want? Why are you after your sister's life? It was difficult for me to come out. Chahatt also spoke about what she learned while working on the show, crediting her co-stars Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar. The spontaneity I learnt from Ram as an actor, you know, he is a very spontaneous actor. I learnt method acting from Sakshi. So, I think I learnt a very good mix from both sides. Meanwhile, Chahatt is currently seen in Hasratein 4. The actress said she initially turned down the project but changed her mind after reading the character. There was no casting process as such because it's been a while I'm in the industry so I got a call and then I initially refused for this because I was not really sure about the project but then when I read the character, it was very relevant, she said. Chahatt added that she ultimately agreed to the show because of the character. For this, I said yes because of the character.

In an interview with NPRs Steve Inskeep, Carlson said Trump should have been removed from office and argued that members of the Cabinet should have invoked the 25th Amendment over Trumps remarks about Iran and nuclear threats. Carlson also said Trump should have been bundled up and taken out, calling the alleged conduct a crime and adding, Theres no greater crime than that. His comments came after Trump said at the United Nations General Assembly that he faced a big decision over whether to reach a deal with Iran or annihilate the Islamic Republic.

Red Carpet, No Deals: Trump-Xi Summit Ends With Zero Breakthroughs On AI, Trade, Taiwan

Donald Trump rolled out the grandest welcome of his presidency for Xi Jinping a hundred-foot red carpet, thundering bombers, a 21-gun salute, a full state dinner. But strip away the spectacle, and the summit delivered almost nothing. The only concrete outcome was a two-month extension of the US-China trade truce, pushing the deadline past November. No breakthrough on tariffs. No agreement on AI chip access, despite Nvidia's CEO joining the American delegation at the last minute. No movement on Taiwan, the region's most dangerous flashpoint. And not a word on China's role propping up Iran's economy during America's costly war with Tehran. This video breaks down exactly why the world's most-hyped summit of the year ended with more optics than outcomes, and what that gap reveals about who actually held the leverage in that room.

LEAKED: Chinas Satellite Intel HELPS Iran Hunt U.S. Warships As Trump GLAZES Xi Jinping In DC

Irans ability to track American forces and shipping in the Middle East may have received a major boost from Chinese satellite imagery and geospatial data, according to recent U.S. intelligence assessments described by CNN. U.S. officials believe Chinese-provided imagery helped Iran improve target identification and tracking, including during a July strike on a U.S. base in Jordan that killed three American service members. The intelligence support is also believed to have helped Iran monitor U.S. escort operations and commercial shipping through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. The exact scale of Chinas involvement remains unclear. U.S. officials reportedly disagree over how much assistance Beijing is providing, while China has rejected accusations that it is exploiting the conflict to assist Iran. The Trump administration has already taken action against three Chinese satellite companies, accusing them of providing imagery that enabled Iranian military strikes against U.S. forces. The developments highlight a different kind of battlefield advantage: using satellite intelligence to know where targets are before missiles and drones are launched.

READY TO SACRIFICE: Saudi Troops Warned Amid Houthi Attacks; MBS 'Begs' Turkey, Pakistan For Help

Saudi Arabia is preparing for a potentially wider confrontation with the Iran-aligned Houthis as attacks on the kingdom intensify. Saudi Grand Mufti Sheikh Saleh bin Fawzan Al-Fawzan has called on troops stationed along the kingdoms borders to be prepared to sacrifice their lives fighting the Houthis until the group is ousted from power. The warning comes as Saudi-backed Yemeni forces face pressure on the ground, while Houthi missile and drone attacks have targeted Saudi territory. Riyadh is also turning to its regional defence partners. Saudi, Turkish and Pakistani military chiefs are preparing to meet to discuss support under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, signed in August. The pact states that an attack on one of the three parties is to be treated as an attack on all three. However, the agreement does not automatically mean Turkish or Pakistani forces will enter the Yemen battlefield. Discussions are expected to focus on military coordination and possible support for Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, footage released by Houthi military media appears to show Saudi-backed military vehicles being hit and catching fire, although the location, timing and extent of the damage have not been independently verified.

ON CAM: Kyiv In Ruins, Putins Army DESTROYS Ukraine Capital In DEADLY Strikes; Oil Plant Ablaze

Russia and Ukraine have traded a massive wave of overnight drone strikes, with attacks reaching deep behind the front lines and civilians reported killed on both sides. In Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said a Russian drone struck a 16-storey residential building in the central Pechersk district. Police said a 14-year-old boy was killed and at least seven people were injured. At the same time, Ukrainian drones struck targets across several Russian regions. Russian officials reported civilian deaths, while a drone attack damaged the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery and temporarily halted operations. Transport infrastructure was also affected, with Russian Railways reporting damage to a locomotive and passenger train carriage in the Samara region. Russia has also claimed strikes on Ukrainian military and logistics sites, including a drone assembly and storage facility, port infrastructure and a cargo ship carrying military and dual-use supplies. Those claims have not been independently verified. The latest attacks highlight how the Russia-Ukraine war is increasingly extending far beyond the front lines, with both sides using long-range drones against military, energy, logistics and infrastructure targets deep inside enemy territory.
