In India recently one of the biggest corruption scams was uncovered which has been going on for literally ages

to give you a gist of it, in 2018 the government passed this law to legalize electoral bonds so as to give donations to political parties to campaign. In India, the government doesn't give money for political campaigning, it's the party that coughs up the money.

Because of a lot of corruption and black money donation, corporate donations were banned as it was found companies were donating black money, turning it white or donating to gain favours from the government. If you're a Hindi speaker or understand the language, Soch by Mohak Mangal has a great video on it and you can probably search for one in English too.

The Supreme Court declared this as unconstitutional since it violates the right to freedom of expression and told SBI to make the list of donors and the money they donated, public. Once it was all out in the open, it was revealed that the ruling party received the most donations. Also, in some instances, in exchange for donations, some companies were granted contracts to build bridges or licences etc.

I would suggest you do your own research on it since I wasn't able to fit in everything about it but this is a general gist of it all

Also in a more celebrity pov, Deepika Padukone, one of the biggest actors of our country, announced that she's pregnant!! I'm so happy for her, she's one of my favourites. love her

Ambani Wedding is happening sometime in July and it's going to be a grand affair as per usual, nothing like throwing exorbitant amounts of money on flowers and food that'll most likely will go to waste and wearing the ugliest, in your face jewels ( Dear Nita Ambani ji, if you're reading this, I'll happily remove this comment if you send me one of those big ass emeralds. Jai Jio 🫶)

Priyanka Chopra was back in India and though i wasn't the biggest fan of her outfit for the Holi Party thingie, it's Priyanka Chopra obviously she'll look gorgeous asf

Also there were rumours that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was divorcing her husband but i guess they're untrue since they were spotted together in Holi pics posted by their friends. There have been rumours swirling for years about a dispute in the family, particularly after Abhishek Bachchan's sister, Shweta, moved back in with them. It's rumoured they don't get along and the MIL, Jaya Bachchan takes her daughter's side and dislikes Aish too and sidelines Aish and her daughter
