The Australians now lead the Ashes 2-0 and a win in the Perth Test will put the seal on the series.

Amidst Deepika facing a series of threats over her upcoming film Padmavati, a letter, initiated by veteran actress Shabana Azmi and signed by several other female actors, has reportedly been sent to PM Narendra Modi urging him to take an immediate action. However, there have been reports doing the rounds that actress Kangana Ranaut refused to sign the letter when Azmi approached her. In a recently released statement, Ranaut addressed the controversy surrounding the “Deepika Bachao campaign”. The actress said that she is with Deepika Padukone and the Bajirao Mastani star has all her support but she did not sign the petition as it is “lead by someone who character assassinated me when I was bullied” and added that she is an individual perfectly capable of supporting who she likes without anyone's support and that Deepika has her support over the Padmavati row.
