Recently, Badshah faced backlash after a tweet regarding global pop icon Dua Lipa went awry. It started when Badshah simply tweeted “Dua Lipa” accompanied by a red heart emoji. Fans quickly speculated whether a collaboration was in the works.

However, Badshah’s unexpected reply—“I’d rather make babies with her bro. (sic)”—set off a storm of criticism.

What followed was a deluge of outrage from social media users who deemed his comment disrespectful and objectifying towards women. Many accused him of misogyny, arguing that such remarks diminish a woman’s value to her physical appearance or reproductive role.

Here are some reactions:

– “Why is Badshah’s disgusting misogynistic comment about Dua Lipa getting so much attention? Isn’t most of his ‘catchy’ music just about objectifying women?” — Prapthi (@prapthi_m)

– “Badshah’s entire career seems to revolve around misogyny. I’m not surprised.” — Pracool (@thehighmonk)

– “I like Dua Lipa too, but I don’t share Badshah’s views.” — Atish (@atishj7)

– “Why does Badshah think Dua Lipa would risk everything to have his babies?” — Ayushi (@sojaoayushiii)

– “Badshah, trying to spin ‘I want to make babies with Dua Lipa’ into ‘the most beautiful compliment’ is a pathetic display of entitlement and ignorance. You didn’t highlight her talent or artistry—you reduced a global icon to just a womb for your creepy desires.” — Garima (@XcuseeMePlease)

In an attempt to clarify, Badshah tweeted again, stating, “I believe that wishing for a woman you admire to mother your children is one of the most beautiful compliments. My thoughts are now being interpreted differently.” He implied that his intentions were meant as admiration.

However, this explanation did little to quell the backlash. Critics maintained that instead of accepting responsibility, Badshah shifted the narrative to others’ perceptions, and that dismissing the criticism only deepened the divide.

Mumbai: Actress Rhea Chakraborty has opened up about her early career and financial independence. She also spoke about spending her earnings on changing her appearance.

During a conversation with comedian Tanmay Bhat on his YouTube channel, Rhea recalled her days as an MTV VJ. She said she was earning around Rs.3 lakh as a VJ when she was just 17 or 18 years old.

Rhea said she felt very rich at that age. She revealed that she spent her last salary on “fixing” her face.

The actress made the revelation while comparing an old photograph with her recent appearance. Her statement left the other members of the panel amused.

Rhea also spoke about the pressure to look good in the entertainment industry. She said there was a time when only good-looking people were allowed to speak.

When Tanmay Bhat jokingly asked if he should also get his face “fixed”, Rhea said everyone should consider a facelift. She added that technology has advanced significantly.

Rhea began her career as a VJ before entering the film industry. She made her acting debut with the Telugu film Tuneega Tuneega in 2012. She later made her Bollywood debut with Mere Dad Ki Maruti in 2013.

Her personal life came under intense media attention after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020. Rhea faced allegations and was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau during a drugs-related investigation.

In March 2025, the Central Bureau of Investigation closed the case. The agency concluded that Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide and ruled out foul play.

Apart from acting, Rhea has also entered the business world. She runs her brand Chapter 2 with her brother Showik Chakraborty.

Rhea will next be seen in the second season of The Traitors.
