The time of 'mard ko dard nahin hota' is gone: Abhay
Hindustan Times Patna
|November 19, 2025
Actor Abhay Verma rose to fame playing the soft-spoken Bittu in Munjya (2023) and has two romcoms up next including Laikey Laikaa.
But this gentle, romantic persona is far from the kind of manhood he grew up seeing around. “Growing up in Haryana, manliness meant having physical power over others, but I learnt over time, it’s about understanding and not intimidating people,” Abhay tells us on International Men's Day today.

It finds its footing eventually, but only after wading through a swamp of predictability. So how does it fare overall?

Being on guard against perpetrators of terror
The car blast near the Red Fort on November 10 — later identified as a terror incident by the government — has shocked the nation. Often, such incidents spark immediate speculation and deepen divides, with all sorts of narratives not based on facts fanned by various parties. Against such a backdrop, the media must be commended for providing exhaustive yet objective and fact-based coverage of the incident this time. This is the ideal way we can build public opinion against terror and induce our society to lend its weight to our security agencies fighting the uneven war that is terrorism.
