# Lisa Haydon offended trolls who couldn't see a photo of her breastfeeding her baby. She was body-shamed, and told that things like breastfeeding needs to be done inside closed quarters of one's home and nothing of it was to be mentioned on social media. Lisa, however, received support from the film and media fraternity as in a country like India, the awareness for breastfeeding needs to be spread.

Sonu called for a press conference and shaved his head in front of all --- and demanded the money. As usual, Syed Sha Atef Ali Al Quaderi put forth some bogus reason and backed out.

# CBFC was offended by Hanuman Chalisa in the film Phillauri. The reason was that the religious shlokas are supposed to ward off evil, however, in the movie it couldn't ward off a ghost.
