Parineeti Chopra steers clear of any controversy. The bubbly and vivacious actor is usually guarded in her interviews, so it is nothing less than a treat when she gets candid. And that is just what Parineeti did on Neha Dhupia's podcast, #NoFilterNeha, where she opened up like never before. Here are some revelations made by the Ishaqzaade actor on the show. 1. Parineeti's father always carried a hockey stick with him In Parineeti's own words, the boys in her hometown, Ambala, are the "dil khol, dil phenk type". They know no inhibtions and sometimes, their approach "borders on eve-teasing". The actor said that to her father, that was absolutely unacceptable.

"More than Rs 2 lakh crore black money has reached banks and now people depositing such money are being made to answer questions on their origin." The move, he said, has checked generation of ne

Apple is gearing up to launch the iPhone 8 with a 3D sensor in the front that would enable users to unlock the phone via facial recognition. Now a new rumour suggests that the same 3D sensor can be used for a number of multiple functions, including the ability to automatically silence notifications when you are looking at it. iOS developer Guilherme Rambo has discovered a new code hidden inside the HomePod firmware, which seems to suggest that the iPhone will automatically mute notifications when you are looking at the display. The developer claims he found references to 'TLAttentionAwarnessObserver' in the HomePod compiled source code. As 9to5Mac notes, not every feature will be included in the iPhone 8, but at least, Apple is working on a feature which will allow users to mute notifications when they are looking at the phone.
