Meanwhile Islamic Centre of India has announced that it will live stream the recitation of Holy Quran during the month of Ramzan.

The Islamic Centre of India will do a Facebook live stream every day during Ramzan from 8 pm to 10 pm on its page facebook.com/islamiccentreofindia, which can be accessed by anyone across the globe during lockdown.

Clerics and religious leaders have already urged and issued various appeals to people to pray inside their houses and follow lockdown guidelines during Ramzan.

The Facebook Live of Recitation of verses from the Holy Quran will start from April 25, said Chief of All India Islamic Centre, Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali.

“As the lockdown is in progress and social distancing norms are also being practised, the All India Islamic Centre will be live streaming the recitation of Holy Quran. Every day two paras (chapters) will be recited from 8pm to 10pm.”

“People should perform wazu and listen to it with their family members, after this they should perform 20 ratkaats of Namaaz-e-Tarweeh. I know it is important for Muslims to pray to Allah during the month of Ramzan, but keeping in mind the prevailing conditions, this is the best way to pray to Allah and keep everyone safe,” he said.

“There should be no Roza Iftaar parties at all, instead that money should be utilised for food and ration for the poor people. Also people should avoid sending loads of Iftaari to the mosques, they should only send Iftaari for four or five people who are in the mosque. People should pray especially to end this pandemic,” added Maulana Mahali.

A similar appeal was also issued by Shia cleric Maulana Saif Abbas asking people to abide by the lockdown guidelines during these tough times.

“The coronavirus pandemic has affected more than 200 countries till now. The holy month of Ramzan is coming but one should abide by the lockdown norms. It will be better for us to abide by what is suggested by doctors and authorities. We should follow all the lockdown norms as it is in favour of us and our families.”

This week, the couple were in India together, where Jonas celebrated his first Holi, an ancient Hindu festival that celebrates the arrival of spring after winter and the victory of good over evil. It’s a festival of love and colors, which, you can see from his Instagram photos, Jonas enjoyed quite a bit.

My first Holi! ,” he wrote ” So much fun celebrating with such incredible people here in my second home in India. #holi”

Traditionally, on the day of Holi, Indian people play in the colors with their friends and family and get completely covered in the vibrant hues.

Jonas and Chopra also took the opportunity at the festival to have a couples’ photo shoot.
She makes me smile a lot,” Jonas wrote as the caption of this photo of the couple wearing white with accents of bright colors.

This is not Jonas’s first visit to India. He and Chopra got married in India at the end of 2018. They had their Western, Christian ceremony at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, with Jonas’s father, Pastor Paul Jonas officiating. The next day, they had a traditional Hindu ceremony.

One of the most special things that our relationship has given us is a merging of families who love and respect each other’s faiths and culture. And so planning our wedding with an amalgamation of both was so amazing,” Jonas said on Instagram at the time of the couple’s wedding.

Arjun also reacted to one of her candid clicks a few days ago, which she shared with just a coffee mug emoji in caption. Katrina had written for Arjun soon after, “@arjunkapoor this is the body language when one drinks coffee.” Arjun had replied to her, “The emoji has nothing to do with the picture Katrina… is that a clue for Karan to join u for Koffee on Takht ???” He added, “Btw just joking @katrinakaif don’t be firing me later… loving the vibe though…”

In pictures and videos that have surfaced online from the event held in Mumbai on Thursday evening, the Bharat stars are seen comfortably posing with each other and leading the way for one another the way only good friends can. The actors are also caught looking into each others’ eyes. The actors also hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative of banning single-use plastic in the country and urged fans to support the mission. At an IIFA press conference in Mumbai, the actors voiced their concerns and drew attention to the pressing environmental problems.

Salman, who was dressed in a black shirt and blue trousers, added, “and don’t be plastic.” In June, Salman had also posted a subtle yet impactful message on single-use plastic. The actor posted a video where he can be seen offering water to a monkey, whom he calls his Bajrangi Bhaijaan, in a plastic bottle. However, the monkey refuses. The actor then offers water in a glass and Bajrangi Bhaijaan quickly accepts it. While the video was shared on a lighter note, hidden in it is was the message to stop using plastic bottles.Katrina, who had her own little solution and opinion about the issue in hand, was all praise for PM Modi’s initiative calling it “incredible” and urged everyone to support the campaign.

“We don’t see it happening in front of us. It’s easy for us to just forget about the importance of what’s happening. But I think the easiest to do and a small change that we can all do in our lives that will make a big difference is about single-use plastic. I think PM Narendra Modi Ji’s initiative is incredible and that’s something we all should support. Don’t drink out of plastic bottles, try to carry some other container to hold your water,” said Katrina, who rocked a blue dress for the event.

IIFA announced its nominations in August and the ceremony will be held later this month. Sriram Raghavan’s National Award-winning thriller Andhadhun lead the field with 13 nods, which also include best actor male and female for Ayushmann Khurrana and Tabu. Other films which also got best picture and direction nods include Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat and Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi with 10 nominations each, followed by Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju with seven nods and another National Award winner, Amit Sharma’s Badhaai Ho! with six.
