Yami Gautam opens up about
her incurable skin condition
Actor Yami Gautam on Monday revealed she has been
dealing with keratosis pilaris, a type of incurable skin
condition, for "many years". The Bhoot Police actor
decided to open up about the condition to let go of her
"fears and insecurities", she wrote in a note on
Instagram.
Sharing pictures from her latest photo shoot,
Yami wrote that the condition causes dry and
rough patches with tiny bumps on the skin.
The 32-year-old actor said when the photos were
about to go for post-production work to "conceal"
her skin condition, she chose to do away with
the procedure. "I thought, 'Hey Yami, why
don't you embrace this fact and accept it
enough to be okay with it. Just let it be'
(Yes, I do talk out loud to myself). For
those who haven't heard about this, it's a
skin condition wherein you get tiny
bumps on the skin.
"I promise they aren't as bad as your
mind and your neighbor aunty makes it out
to be. I developed this skin condition during
my teenage years, and there is still no cure
for it," she wrote.
Gautam said she no longer felt the
need to hide her condition and
found liberation in sharing it
with her followers on social
media.
"I've dealt with it for
many years now and
today finally, I decided to
let go of all my fears and
insecurities and found the
courage to love and accept my
'flaws' wholeheartedly. I also found the courage to
share my truth with you. Phew!
"I didn't feel like airbrushing my folliculitis or smoothing that 'undereye'
or 'shaping up' that waist a tiny bit more! And yet, I feel beautiful,"
she concluded her post.
On the work front, the actor will next be seen in the social comedy
Dasvi, thriller A Thursday and investigative drama Lost.

Dhallywood popular actress Jaya Ahsan's love
for animals is unconditional and this time the
actress has got the return of that love in
recognition of the unconditional love and
support of animals, on the occasion of World
Animal Day. People for Animal Welfare (PAW)
Foundation arranged 'Pranobik Bondhu' Award
2021 held on Monday, October 4.
PAW is an organisation, which intends to host
the award programme every year henceforth,
honoured 10 people from all walks of life
working with animals. According to the
foundation, this is the first time such an event
was organised in Bangladesh. The winners list
was announced at the programme and Jaya
Ahsan was at the top of that list.

Many bizarre romantic trysts
have happened in comics, and
one that's hardly ever
mentioned is the time 'X-Men'
antagonist 'Magneto' decided to
hook up with founding
'Avenger' the 'Wasp'. While the
pairing has mostly been
forgotten, the story it comes
from isn't obscure. It takes
place in the third and fourth
issues of one of Marvel's first
major crossover events, 'Marvel
Superheroes Secret Wars'
(1985), by Jim Shooter, Mike
Zeck, and Bob Layton.
The classic saga features
many Marvel heroes and
villains being abducted and
forced to fight each other by
an ancient otherworldly being
called the Beyonder. It was
basically a commercial for
Chandra Debnath, public health expert Dr
Be-Nazir Ahmed, and forest official Mollah
Rezaul Karim were also in the list.
However, due to the Covid-19 situation and
limited time, PAW Foundation will hold the
prize-giving ceremony in November.
"There are so many people out there who
work effortlessly for animal welfare. However,
they always remain unnoticed, It is our little
effort in appreciation of those people who are
selflessly involved and contribute to the animal
welfare movement," PAW Foundation said.
Meanwhile, Jaya is overwhelmed by PAW's
initiative. In her words, 'I am being rewarded,
joy is not for that at all. Rather the joy is, for
this extraordinary initiative. It will inspire
animal-lovers. I believe that it will play a big
role in creating living people. I myself have
never worked for animals to get anything.
What I have done, from my own joy and
inner tension. Thank you to all concerned.

'Magneto' hooked
up with the most
random 'Avenger'
Mattel's upcoming Marvel
toyline, but it had a major
impact on Marvel and its
fictional universe. One early
surprise in the plot is that
'Magneto', when abducted, is
placed among the heroes, not
the villains. When everyone is
surprised by this, he defends
himself and says that unlike
the other criminals, his
motives are righteous, making
him (in his mind) a good guy.
While others try to make use
of Magneto as an ally-ofconvenience,
the 'Wasp' (the
leader of the 'Avengers')
objects, seeming furious at
him for his crimes.
After some shenanigans and
battles between the heroes
and villains, the 'Avenger' and
'Magneto' have a proper fight,
ending with 'Magneto'
trapping the shrunken-down
'Wasp' in a big ball of metal.
He takes her to a fortress on
the Beyonder's Battle world as
his prisoner. However, once
he releases her, his demeanor
changes and he immediately
Keep up the good work.'
World Animal Day, celebrated on October 4,
is an international day of action for animal
rights and welfare and also known as the feast
day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of
animals and ecology.

Temple and Ramna Kali Temple, says

"I don't think such a huge budgeted
song for Puja has ever been made
before. I hope this song will be played
in all the Puja Mandap to celebrate
Durga Puja this year," said Joy.
"Since the song is especially
dedicated for Durga Puja, all the crew
members worked wholeheartedly. Our
effort will pay off if the audiences like
the song," he added.

H o R o s c o p e
ARIes
(March 21 - April 20) : Equipment
you've come to depend on in your daily
life might suddenly go down today.
This might throw you into a panic, but
don't fall into this trap. Phone a friend who knows
about these things or bring in a professional. At
times like this, it's best not to agonize over a
malfunction but to just get it taken care of as quickly
as possible.
TAURUs
(April 21 - May 21) : There's likely to
be some tumult in your emotional
life right now, Taurus. You may feel
a pressing need to have a heart-toheart
talk with your partner. Tension may
develop if you become increasingly insistent
about your need to do so. Anger or alienation
can be avoided if you express your feelings with
clarity and compassion.
GeMINI
(May 22 - June 21) : Excitement
mounts in your household when
some new equipment comes into
your possession. This could involve a
computer, phone, or some other device.
This could make a big different to everyone,
but make sure you don't treat it like a toy.
You'll want it to last a while!
.cANceR
(June 22 - July 23) : All dissatisfaction
will be abolished today as you
systematically confront and resolve all
the little problems that have been
bothering you. Your tolerance threshold is low to
nonexistent. Give a wide berth to friends who have
been irritating lately. Your wardrobe improves
dramatically as you discard all those clothes that
don't fit or no longer suit you.
Leo
(July 24 - Aug. 23): You're rarely
surprised or bothered by the
occasional setback. Today, however,
you should put a firm hand on any
project you undertake. This isn't the time for a
relaxed attitude, especially where money is
concerned. If you take a systematic approach, you
will have the double benefit of conserving both
energy and assets.
VIRGo
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): Expect to be torn
between two seemingly paradoxical urges
today, Virgo. Part of you wants to spend the
day wrapped in a cocoon, playing with your toys. But another
side of you is just as committed to spearheading a major
creative or social endeavor with friends who share your
revolutionary ideas. You feel exhausted from trying to build
the perfect world.
LIBRA
(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): Unusual dreams,
visions, and audio phenomena may
come to you today. You might think
you're hearing voices. Before jumping
to conclusions, rule out any logical conditions.
You're not crazy. This probably indicates a growing
psychic awareness. You should write down what
you see, hear, or learn during this time. It could be
valuable.
scoRpIo
(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): Act without hesitation
today, Scorpio, especially if you're following
unfamiliar directions or exploring new
territory. This may not seem like the best
advice, but this is a day for saying an unflinching yes to all
manner of proposals that come your way, even if some are
unclear. Scorpio excels at this type of test. Expect to be at the
head of the class by the end of the day!
sAGITTARIUs
(Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): You're obviously
struggling with something big, Sagittarius.
Recent comments about your irritability
are well founded. But don't worry. They'll
forgive you eventually. In the meantime,
do what you can to control your temper. It stems from
your current fears, which seem to be multiplying
exponentially. Blame the situation on the planets and
accept it as a lesson on the path to self-realization.
cApRIcoRN
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): You'll want to jump into
action today, Capricorn. Feel free to order
others around for a change and delegate.
An aggressive approach is exactly what's
called for, and you have the ability to deliver the goods.
Trying to do everything yourself may seem like a great
idea at first, but you're better off enlisting help so others
can feel involved and you can concentrate on doing a
better job on fewer tasks.
AQUARIUs
(Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) : Your passions have
been stirring like a caged animal for the past
several days, Aquarius. Now is the time to let
them out. Some of what you express may
elicit surprise or disapproval, but that's no reason to stay
silent. If you don't express yourself, illness may result. Your
goal should be to be true to your inner self. Ultimately,
that's the only way to be happy and healthy.
pIsces
(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : A social event today
could put you in touch with fascinating
new people in interesting fields.
Intriguing discussions could take place
throughout the evening. The only
problem is if you go there with a partner, you probably
won't see much of him or her. You might get involved
in separate conversations that last for hours. You'll
have a lot to share later!
