A gang started harassing her, wanting to take a picture with her. Yen politely asked them to stop, but they didn't, so Yen and Meng left the club.

The gang of eight young men followed them outside, continuing to harass them, and then attacked Donnie Yen. Yen put all eight gang members on their way to the hospital.

After being questioned by the police, it was determined that it was a case of self-defense and no charges were brought against him.

Yen was in his early thirties. As for the attackers, they were between 18 and 25 years old.

Was Urmila the most ignored character in Ramayana?

 Yes. She is barely mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana and has not even a single dialogue. She is mentioned by name only 5 times in the entire Ramayana. 4 times in Bala Kanda and 1 time in Ayodhya kanda.

I will list every single time Urmila is mentioned in Ramayana

Janaka offers Urmila to be married to Lakshmana

Now, bull among sages, with great pleasure I give away my two girls, Sita to Rama, bless you, and Urmila to Laksmana—my daughter Sita, who is like a daughter of the gods, whose only bride-price was great strength, and Urmila, my second daughter.

• Sarga 70, Bala Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, CE

Vishwamitra and Vasistha accept Urmila’s marriage

The Houses of the Iksvakus and the Videhas are beyond conception and beyond measure, bull among men. There is none to equal them. Your majesty, this lawful union of Sita and Urmila with Rama and Laksmana is highly appropriate, the more so because of the perfection of their beauty.

• Sarga 71, Bala Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, CE

Janaka asks Lakshmana to take the hand of Urmila in the marriage

King Janaka then spoke to Rama, the increaser of Kausalya’s delight: “This daughter of mine, Sita, shall be your lawful wedded wife. Accept her, bless you. Take her hand in yours. Come, Laksmana. Bless you. Accept Urmila, whom I give you. Take her hand without delay.” After speaking in this fashion, Janaka addressed Bharata, saying, “Take Mandavi’s hand in yours, delight of the Raghus.

• Sarga 72, Bala Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, CE.

Urmila is welcomed to Ayodhya

Kausalya, Sumitra, fair-waisted Kaikeyi, and the king’s other wives busied themselves with receiving the brides. The king’s wives welcomed illustrious Sita, renowned Urmila, and the two daughters of Kusadhvaja. Clad in silken garments and greeted with blessings, they went at once to worship at the shrines of the gods.

• Sarga 76, Bala Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, CE

Sita mentions Urmila while telling Anasuya about her marriage story

So my father invited my father-in-law, aged King Dasaratha, and afterward bestowed me on the celebrated Rama. And my father, of his own accord, bestowed my younger sister, the lovely and virtuous Urmila, as wife on Laksmana.

• Sarga 110, Ayodhya Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana, CE

This is the last time Urmila is mentioned by name. She never appears or is mentioned by name after this point.

Infact Lakshmana himself never mentions Urmila in the entire Valmiki Ramayana.

Which movie character is very famous but unknown?

 This woman only appears for 18 seconds in each film. If you've ever seen a Columbia film, you've probably seen her. If you're a fan of her films, I'm sure you recognize her face well.

Of course, the original set wasn't as dramatic or beautiful as the final product. But it remains one of the finest openings in cinematic history.

There is no doubt that this woman's face will continue to be seen for generations to come, after all, this woman is the lady of Columbia.

Many actresses are thought to have starred in the original depiction of the goddess of liberty, but according to the studio, the woman is not portrayed by any particular actress.

Which character of Dhoni drives you crazy?

 His calmness.

It's so unreal. You can't expect a person to be cool for 24 hours and I am sure Dhoni had moments where he completely lost it but whenever we see him on screen his calm and cool nature just looks unnatural and this character of Dhoni drives me crazy.

Let's look at some moments.

• India Vs Sri Lanka, world cup final, 2011.

Dhoni finished it off in style and we won the world cup after 28 years. Dhoni hit that winning shot! But look at his face.

Even after winning a world cup he didn't lose his calmness. He was the captain, he hit the winning shot, he should be the one dancing and celebrating but he chose to see his players celebrate.

This is his only picture with the world cup in Indian jersey. He didn't even pose with it, just gave it to his team.

• Ind Vs Sri Lanka, Celkon Cup, 2013.

During this tri- series of India, Sri Lanka and West Indies Dhoni was ruled out due to injury. But he made an entry with a bang in the final. With only 1 wicket in hand Dhoni finished the match.

Any celebration? Nope. Just a smile and a hug with Ishant Sharma.

One important part of this match I would love to mention, if you have seen this match's video in YouTube, you can hear him say let's meet the opponents.

His respect towards the opponents is simply amazing.

• India Vs Bangladesh, T20 World Cup, 2016.

Who can forget this match and it's nail biting end. Each and every person was screaming and celebrating and then there was this guy. Ice man!

• RPS Vs KXIIP, 2016.

2016 was the worst phase of MS Dhoni's IPL career. But no one can forget that last match with Punjab where he scored 23 runs off just 5 balls in the last over. Can you believe! 23 runs. He proved his critics wrong and slapped his haters with his bat, but did he celebrate?

No.

• India Vs Pakistan, Champions Trophy, 2017.

India losing to Pakistan was one of the biggest traumas of 2017. Now I am sure many people remember this Pakistani guy shouting “Who's the father now”, players were walking into the dressing room and he kept on shouting. Finally Shami lost his cool and confronted him.

But then Angel Dhoni appears.

Stops Shami from creating a scene.

Now, Dhoni is strong enough to beat the shit out of that guy howling but he chose what gentlemen do :) ( not attacking any Pakistani, please maintain peace ).

• Celebrity Clasico, 2017.

A charity match between Bollywood stars and Cricketers. He scored two goals that night and what was his celebration?

Nothing. Scored the goals, ran to his position.

• India Vs Sri Lanka, ODI match, 2017.

Sri Lankan fans started throwing bottles when their team was losing and this is how Dhoni reacted.

“Call me when you want to finish the match” - Mahendra Singh Dhoni

His favourite celebration? Just a smile (And this is exactly why I am going crazy).

His calmness (whether he wins a match or loses a match) always remains the same and it's impossible for a normal human being to stay that calm so guys don't try this at home, there is a reason we call him captain cool.

Ghantakarna Mahavir is a character in Hindu mythology. What was his relationship with Shiva?

 Ghantakarna was a devotee of lord Shiva and hater of Lord Vishnu. He eventually realised the error of his ways and obtained grace at the hands of Lord Krishna.

Ghantakarna hated Lord Vishnu so much that he used to hang bells on his ears to prevent even hearing his name

I am the pishacha named ghantakarna, terrible to see. I eat flesh. I am deformed and terrible like another real death. I am coming from the great mountain kailasa served by ghosts (shiva's servants). I have the form of a pishacha who perform sinful deeds. I have been hating Vishnu always by hanging bells (=ghanta) on my ears (= Karna), thinking that the name of vishnu shall not enter my ears.

• 80, Bhavishya parva, Harivamsa.

He worshipped Lord Shiva asking for Moksha. Shiva refused saying that only Lord Vishnu can grant moksha to him

Entering the mountain kailasa, I met the lord having bull as his flag (shiva). Then I always worshipped and praised the great deva, shiva. Then Hara (shiva) was pleased with me and he asked me to accept a boon. Then I prayed for liberation in presence of the great lord, shiva. The lord with three eyes, shiva, told me who prayed for liberation: Vishnu is the only one who provides liberation for one and all. There is no doubt. Hence you go to badari, to the hermitage of nara and Narayana and worshipping the one who excites men, obtain liberation from govinda there. When the lord of lords, the one who holds the trident (shiva) told me thus, I realized the knowledge that, govinda, the one having garuda on his flag (Vishnu), is considered as the most superior.

• 80, Bhavishya parva, Harivamsa.

Lord Krishna had meanwhile arrived in Badari. Ghantakarna went there to meet Krishna and worshipped him

Concentrating his mind and bowing to keshava, affectionate to the devotees, the terrible pishacha, recited this mantra: i bow to the Lord Vasudeva, the one who resides in the inside of all, the one who holds the chakra. I bow to lord Vasudeva, the one who holds the mace, the one with intellect. AUM! I bow to Narayana, Vishnu, the splendorous Vishnu. O keshava! Let my mind be purified by praising you. Now let me not have a terrible, sorrowful birth like this again. O the Lord of senses! Let me become the messenger of gods by remembering you. Let my body be destroyed by the striking of your chakra and thus let me not have any connection with the worldly existence. O lord! This is my prayer.

O lord of gods! In happiness, sorrow, passion as well as eating and moving as also in waking and dream, everywhere, let my mind be happy in you. O the one who excites men! I bow to you.

• 80, Bhavishya parva, Harivamsa.

Lord Krishna was pleased by Ghantakarna’s devotion and showed him the divine Vaishnava form

O the lord of earth! Then the Lord of the universe (Krishna, Vishnu) showed him, who was not another, his own soul (form) in the pure inner mind of the pishacha. Then the terrible pishacha saw keshava (Krishna, Vishnu), Hari, in his own soul, wearing yellow, silk clothes, having eyes as beautiful as the lotus flower, having dark blue colour. The Lord Vishnu was holding the conch, chakra, garland and the mace. He was wearing a crown. He was wearing kaustubha and his chest was decorated with the auspicious mark, shrivatsa. The most desirable Lord having the colour of a dark blue cloud, was mounted on garuda. He looked like the god of wind. He was having four arms, speaking auspicious words. The lord was still, all pervading and auspicious. The eternal Lord was having neither beginning nor the end. The lord of illusion was not having any illusion (the vision was real), always yoked with truth and purity. The Lord, approachable with intellect was always without any impurity. Seeing the Lord of the universe, Vishnu, in his mind many times, the pishacha, without opening his eyes, considered himself to be the one who has achieved what is to be achieved.

• Chapter 81, Bhavishya Parva, Harivamsa

Ghantakarna was filled with devotion and worshipped Krishna again

Here is the one who holds the chakra, arrows, the bow Sharanga and the mace in his hands, who rides the chariot having a flagstaff and a quiver, the one with thousand heads, the Lord of all gods, the one who delivered the universe, the one who is the abode of the universe. Here is Vishnu, here is the conqueror (Jishnu), the Lord of the universe, the ancient lord, the best among the purushas, the soul of the world, the creator of the world, here is the eternal lord.

The lord of the universe is the one to be worshipped first - So say the wise. He is the constituent of all, He is the unborn lord, the origin of all. He is the subtle (minute) of the subtle, the most fundamental measure. (At the same time) hari, Vishnu is the gross of the gross. All this (world) is fixed in the lord. On destruction, all this world goes to the lord. All the world was born from him. That lord is standing here.

The one who has seen hari in the real form, his deleiverance is in his hands. To him, hari in the real form is appearing here. is sure that I have gathered merit in my other births before. It is Due to the outcome of that merit, I am seeing the lord here.

• 82, Bhavishya parva, Harivamsa.

The Lord Krishna purified Ghantakarna with his touch

Then lord Vishnu, hari who liberates from sins, touched the limbs all over the terrible pishacha, softly with his hand. Then his form immediately became splendorous and handsome like the form of the god of desire. His hair became curly and long. His arms became long. His eyes became beautiful. His fingers and nails became equal and his mouth became leveled and his nose became high. His eyes became beautiful as lotus flowers. He became splendorous with the colour of a lotus flower. His hair became beautiful and decorated with ornaments.

He could sing like a gandharva and he became accomplished as a siddha because Vishnu caressed him softly with his hand. Definitely, such a form was never seen even with the passage of time. Even now the sages are unable to get such a form (after performing penances). O the best among kings! (janamejaya! Vaishampayana continued) After performing many terrible and severe penances, the pishacha was able to get that form. O king! (janamejaya! Vaishampayana continued) Who will suffer among those who depend on the lord of universe? (None will suffer ever.) He will have good everywhere who meditates on Janardana, speaks about him and chants his name always. O the lord of earth! (janamejaya! Vaishampayana continued) What will he not have?

• 83, Bhavishya parva, Harivamsa.

Lord Krishna sent Ghantakarna to live in heaven, promising him liberation at the end of the Manvantara

Then the lord told him who was standing like another god of desire “You shall have un-decaying stay in heaven till the time indra is there. According to my order, you shall live in heaven till then and not anywhere else. When shakra perishes, then you shall leave heaven and have communion with me. Till the time of indra, your younger brother will also stay in heaven.”

Then ghantakarna went to heaven, as ordered by keshava.
