ContributeAre there times in a marriage when ‘no’ doesn’t really mean ‘no’? Is the controversy over Bharat Mata exposing India’s ugly side? And what is going on with this Kangana Ranaut-Hrithik Roshan scandal? This week film critic and author Mayank Shekhar joins us as we weigh in on the topics that made news. From Shaktimaan and animal cruelty to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Delhi’s posh set cheering for Amit Shah, we ask questions and get some answers on this edition of Hafta.
