<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>AAP Rajasthan Charts Course for 2026 Urban Local Body Elections</h2>
<p>Jaipur, Rajasthan — The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Rajasthan today rolled out its manifesto for the upcoming 2026 urban local body elections. The party is making a significant push, primarily promising a corruption-free administration and a pollution-free urban environment across the state.</p>
<p>The manifesto lays out a clear vision for municipal corporations, councils, and local bodies. It emphasizes delivering clean air, safe drinking water, and an encroachment-free civic system to residents.</p>
<h2>Local Governance Under Scrutiny, AAP Promises Change</h2>
<p>Dheeraj Tokas, AAP Rajasthan In-charge, highlighted the direct impact of local body elections on people's daily lives. He pointed out that local governments, not just in Rajasthan but across the country, often fail to provide essential services due to widespread corruption.</p>
<p>Basic amenities like education, urban planning, health, sanitation, roads, public transport, and drinking water are directly linked to the functioning of these bodies. Tokas stated that AAP's manifesto prioritizes an effective and accountable local system.</p>
<p>Ghanendra Bhardwaj, the party's Co-in-charge, weighed in on the current state of urban planning. He noted that despite adopting concepts from developed nations, India's local bodies have largely fallen short.</p>
<p>Cities grapple with poor, short-sighted planning, often leading to disruptive demolition drives for road widening. Encroachment and blatant disregard for building regulations are rampant. This unchecked growth, Bhardwaj added, is turning cities into concrete jungles and pollution-choked gas chambers. AAP aims to tackle these issues head-on.</p>
<h2>Education, Transparency, and Cleanliness at the Forefront</h2>
<p>Devendra Shastri, AAP Rajasthan's Election In-charge, detailed the manifesto's core priorities: education, corruption-free administration, and sanitation. The party believes that the generation educated in today's schools will shape tomorrow's cities and society in Rajasthan.</p>
<p>For education under municipal bodies, the manifesto promises enhanced infrastructure, modern teaching methods, digital facilities, and a strong focus on skill development and career guidance. The goal is to establish a primary education system that fosters mentally capable, aware, and scientifically minded children.</p>
<p>Shastri also addressed the pervasive issue of corruption, which he identified as a major reason for the low efficiency of local bodies. He echoed AAP Convenor Arvind Kejriwal's belief that removing corruption automatically leads to better public services. If entrusted with the administration of any corporation, council, or municipality, AAP pledges to establish an ideal of corruption-free local governance.</p>
<h2>Holistic Urban Development Plans</h2>
<p>The manifesto outlines several other key initiatives. AAP plans to implement its popular 'Mohalla Clinic' scheme in any city where it gains administrative control. In sanitation, the party commits to using modern machinery and technology, alongside prioritizing the safety of sanitation workers.</p>
<p>For roads, footpaths, and public transport, the focus is on improving traffic flow, minimizing congestion, and making public transportation more convenient and accessible.</p>
<p>Addressing urban pollution, AAP's plan includes daily waste disposal and measures to reduce vehicular emissions. A phased approach to undergrounding open electrical wires is also part of the agenda, aiming for safer and cleaner urban landscapes.</p>
<p>The process for construction permits is set to become simpler, more effective, and transparent. All rules and guidelines, the manifesto states, will be designed keeping public convenience, city needs, and future planned development in mind.</p>
<h2>AAP Positions Itself as a Third Alternative</h2>
<p>Devendra Shastri emphasized that AAP Rajasthan is presenting itself as an alternative political platform against what he described as a</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer Agricultural Supervisors Issue Ultimatum Over 11-Point Charter</h2>
<p>Agricultural supervisors across Ajmer district have stepped up their demands, submitting an 11-point memorandum to the District Collector. The move, part of a statewide call by the Agriculture Supervisor Joint Coordination Committee Rajasthan, comes with a stark warning: meet their demands or face a phased agitation.</p>
<p>At the heart of their grievances is the stalled promotion process. The committee highlighted the urgent need to expedite the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) for senior agricultural supervisors to the Assistant Agricultural Officer post. This delay, they claim, is costing personnel a significant financial loss, estimated at around ₹15,000 per month.</p>
<h2>Key Demands: Financial Relief and Operational Support</h2>
<p>Beyond the DPC, the supervisors have laid out a comprehensive list of issues. They are pushing for the resolution of long-standing salary discrepancies, the creation of new posts to ease workload, and better support for their day-to-day operations.</p>
<p>Specifically, the demands include a ₹1,000 internet recharge allowance to cover online work expenses, a multi-dimensional allowance of ₹3,750, and adequate funds and facilities for Kisan Seva Kendras (Farmer Service Centers) which are crucial for grassroots agricultural support.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Agriculture forms a substantial part of India's GDP, employing a large percentage of its population, making the role of agricultural supervisors crucial for ground-level implementation of policies and farmer support.</div>
<h2>Threat of Agitation Escalates</h2>
<p>The committee has made it clear that if their demands are not addressed promptly, they are prepared to escalate their protest. This includes a warning of phased agitation, a boycott of non-agricultural duties, and a complete halt to all online work, which could significantly impact agricultural services in the region.</p>
<p>The memorandum, addressed to the Chief Minister, signals a growing frustration among the agricultural workforce. The ball is now in the administration's court to respond to these pressing concerns and avert potential disruptions in agricultural services.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Congress Confronts Pushkar Administration Over Alleged Voter List Irregularities</h2>
<p>Pushkar witnessed a strong protest today as the Congress party launched a scathing attack on the local administration and the state government. Led by PCC Vice President Naseem Akhtar, Congress workers expressed their deep dissatisfaction over alleged discrepancies in the voter lists, submitting a memorandum to SDM and Election Officer Guru Prasad Tanwar.</p>
<p>Before handing over the memorandum, party members staged a sit-in demonstration, raising slogans against the perceived irregularities. The protest highlighted growing concerns about the fairness of the electoral process in the region.</p>
<h2>Serious Allegations Leveled Against Administration</h2>
<p>PCC Vice President Naseem Akhtar did not mince words, accusing the administration of working as "agents of the BJP" and deliberately attempting to manipulate the election process. He pointed to a specific instance in Ward 16, questioning how an astonishing 50 names were suddenly added to the voter list at a single address.</p>
<p>Akhtar demanded an immediate investigation into these additions and the prompt removal of any fraudulent names. He further alleged that legitimate voters associated with the Congress party are being systematically removed from the lists, while "fake" names linked to the BJP are being added at the ruling party's behest.</p>
<h2>Candidates and Former Councillors Share Grievances</h2>
<p>The protest also brought forward individual cases illustrating the alleged anomalies. Former Councillor Sushila Sen from Ward 7 shared her dismay, stating that despite being a resident of the ward for generations and having served two terms as a councillor, her entire family's names have been inexplicably removed from the voter list. She attributed this to political animosity.</p>
<p>Shweta Parashar, a Congress contender from Ward 9, revealed her name has also been removed from the voter list. This comes at a critical time, as she is scheduled to file her nomination papers on Monday, raising questions about her eligibility.</p>
<h2>Warning of Escalation to State Authorities</h2>
<p>Naseem Akhtar issued a stern warning, stating that if these issues are not addressed and the voter lists are not rectified promptly, the Congress will escalate the matter. They plan to lodge a formal complaint with the District Collector and, through the state leadership, take the grievances to the State Election Commission.</p>
<p>A significant number of Congress functionaries and workers joined the protest. Among those present were former Minister of State for Education Naseem Akhtar Insaf, senior Congress leader Haji Insaf Ali, former Municipal Chairman Damodar Sharma, Congress leader Babulal Dagdi, City Congress President Pramod Parashar, Bejnath Parashar, Jagdish Kurdia, Omprakash Tigaya, Chandmal Uday, Tikam Sharma, Sharad Vaishnav, Prem Prakash Bakolia, Gopal Tilonia, Mausam Sharma, Sanjay Dagdi, Bhagchand Dagdi, Prithviraj Uday, Amarchand Sen, Mahesh Nayak, Jaikumar Valmiki, and Rohan Khan.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer Gears Up for Intense Civic Election Battle</h2>
<p>AJMER: The electoral fervor is palpable in Ajmer as preparations for the upcoming civic body elections hit their peak. Across the city's 80 wards, local issues and resident grievances are now taking center stage. A ground report from Ward No. 7, specifically Kirti Nagar on Fai Sagar Road in Boraj, reveals a clear message from the electorate: this time, voters are prioritizing performance over party lines.</p>
<p>Voters, both men and women, are openly stating that their choice for पार्षद (councillor) will be a candidate committed to working for the community. Party affiliation, whether Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party, or an independent, will take a backseat to a candidate's proven ability to deliver.</p>
<h2>Ward 7 Voices Its Troubles</h2>
<p>Our team conducted a grassroots survey in Kirti Nagar, Fai Sagar Road, Boraj, to understand the local sentiment. Residents there didn't hold back, detailing a host of problems affecting their daily lives.</p>
<p>It's worth noting a significant change for this area. What is now Ward No. 7 was previously Ward No. 9, falling under the Boraj Hathi Kheda Gram Panchayat. With its recent designation as a Municipal Corporation Ward No. 7, residents are hoping for improved urban services and attention.</p>

Did You Know?</strong> Local body elections in India are crucial for grassroots democracy, directly impacting the daily lives of citizens by electing representatives responsible for local infrastructure and services.</div>
<h2>Voters Demand Accountability</h2>
<p>The message from the ground is unambiguous: Ajmer's informed voters are determined to choose wisely. They are not merely casting ballots for a party symbol but for an individual who can address their pressing concerns and bring tangible development to their ward.</p>
<p>This shift in voter sentiment underscores a growing demand for accountability and effective governance at the local level. Candidates vying for seats in Ajmer's civic body will need to present concrete plans to win the trust of residents.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer Police Nab Relative in ₹50,700 Online Fraud Case</h2>
<p>Ajmer police have arrested a man for allegedly siphoning off ₹50,700 from his maternal uncle's bank account through unauthorized online transfers. The accused, identified as Sagar Mali, reportedly exploited a trusted family relationship to commit the financial fraud.</p>
<p>The arrest was made by Ganj Police Station officials after a thorough investigation involving bank records and location tracking of the suspect.</p>
<h2>How the Fraud Unfolded</h2>
<p>Assistant Sub-Inspector Ranveer Singh of Ganj Police Station reported that the victim, Omprakash Mittal, initiated the case through a court directive. According to Mittal's complaint, his relative, Sagar Mali, visited his home between May 26 and 27.</p>
<p>During this visit, Mali allegedly observed Mittal's mobile phone password without his knowledge. Subsequently, he used this password to transfer a total of ₹50,700 in various installments from Mittal's bank account to an online scanner linked to one Raj Keshwani.</p>
<h2>Investigation Leads to Arrest</h2>
<p>Upon discovering the unauthorized transactions, Omprakash Mittal promptly sought police assistance. The Ganj Police registered a case and launched an investigation, meticulously examining bank transaction details, online transfer records, and the accused's location data.</p>
<p>Based on the findings, Sagar Mali, also known as Pushpakar, son of Subhash Mali, a resident of Chak Raghunath, Naini Bazaar, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, was apprehended in Ajmer.</p>
<h2>Accused's Background and Prior Record</h2>
<p>Police sources indicate that Mali is an orphan who reportedly lives alternately with his sister or maternal aunts and uncles. He was attending a child's birthday celebration at Omprakash Mittal's residence when he seized the opportunity to learn the mobile password and execute the fraud.</p>
<p>Authorities have successfully contacted the bank to put a hold on some of the transferred funds. Mali is expected to be presented before the court for further legal proceedings.</p>
<p>It has also come to light that Sagar Mali has a prior theft case registered against him at the Naini police station in Uttar Pradesh. The Ajmer police are currently interrogating the accused to uncover more details related to the case.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer's Ward 26 Residents Fed Up with Two Decades of Neglect</h2>
<p>Ajmer, Rajasthan – Residents of Ward Number 26 in Sansi Basti, Ajmer, are voicing strong discontent over a persistent lack of basic amenities. For nearly two decades, the area has reportedly struggled with a severe absence of essential services, leading to growing frustration among locals.</p>
<p>The primary grievances include unpaved roads and missing drainage systems in several parts of the ward. Furthermore, residents highlight an insufficient number of electricity poles, which significantly impacts daily life and safety in the locality.</p>
<h2>Local Outcry: No Roads, No Drains, No Adequate Power</h2>
<p>This prolonged neglect has sparked considerable anger towards local representatives and political parties. Residents claim that while leaders and candidates actively seek votes during elections, their concerns are largely ignored once the polls conclude.</p>
<p>This time, however, the community is taking a firm stand. They have collectively decided to present a clear demand to political parties ahead of the upcoming elections.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Local self-governance bodies like municipal corporations and panchayats are primarily responsible for providing basic civic amenities such as roads, sanitation, and electricity supply in urban and rural areas across India.</div>
<h2>Demand for Local Candidate, Threat of Election Boycott</h2>
<p>The core demand from Ward 26 residents is straightforward: a local party worker from their own ward should be given a ticket to contest the elections. They believe a local representative would inherently understand the area's specific problems and needs far better than an outsider.</p>
<p>The message to political parties is unambiguous. Residents warn that if their demand is overlooked, they will be compelled to boycott the elections. This means they would refrain from voting for any major political party.</p>
<p>Locals have made it clear that their sole focus this time is on development and ensuring the provision of fundamental facilities within their ward. Their patience has worn thin after years of unfulfilled promises.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Congress Accuses Assembly Speaker Devnani of Code Violation in Ajmer</h2>
<p>Ajmer is buzzing with political activity as the District Congress Committee has formally lodged a complaint against Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani. The party alleges a clear violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) ahead of the 2026 municipal corporation elections.</p>
<p>The complaint, submitted to the Election Officer, claims that despite the MCC being in effect, Speaker Devnani is actively engaging in promotional activities for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Congress leaders argue this is inappropriate given his constitutional position.</p>
<h2>Specific Allegations Highlighted</h2>
<p>Dr. Rajkumar Jaipal, the District Congress President, spearheads the accusation. He stated that Devnani's involvement in party campaigning undermines the neutrality expected from a person holding such a high office.</p>
<p>The memorandum specifically references an event on August 25. During this program, Devnani reportedly addressed BJP mandal presidents, where party slogans were also chanted. Congress views this as a direct breach of protocol and impartiality.</p>
<p>The party has stressed that such actions go against the dignity and fairness associated with the Speaker's post. They are pushing for an immediate halt to Devnani's campaigning activities.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the Congress committee has urged the Election Officer to forward a detailed report on the matter to the Election Commission. They are seeking prompt intervention and action from the electoral body.</p>
<h2>FAQs on the Model Code of Conduct</h2>
<h3>What is the Model Code of Conduct (MCC)?</h3>
<p>The Model Code of Conduct is a set of guidelines issued by the Election Commission of India for political parties and candidates to ensure free and fair elections. It comes into effect from the date of announcement of the election schedule and remains operative until the completion of the electoral process.</p>
<h3>What are common violations of the MCC?</h3>
<p>Common violations include using government machinery for campaigning, making inflammatory speeches, bribing voters, misusing religious places, and engaging in activities that create communal disharmony. Holding public office while actively campaigning for a party during the MCC period can also be seen as a violation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Pension Payouts Stalled: Vishwakarma Scheme Beneficiaries Left Waiting</h2>
<p>Beneficiaries of the Vishwakarma Pension Yojana, a scheme initiated in 2001 and later integrated with the Atal Pension Yojana and National Pension Yojana, are caught in a frustrating loop of delays. Many account holders, particularly those who have crossed the age of 60, report significant difficulties in accessing their accumulated funds, despite fulfilling the eligibility criteria.</p>
<p>For the past two years, numerous applicants have been making repeated visits to the labor department, seeking answers regarding their pending payments. The common response received by these individuals is that work will only proceed once the government deploys additional staff, leaving beneficiaries in a state of uncertainty.</p>
<h2>Complaints Mount, No Resolution in Sight</h2>
<p>The struggle isn't limited to physical visits. Many affected individuals have also lodged multiple complaints through Portal 181, a public grievance redressal mechanism. However, these digital pleas have reportedly yielded no concrete solutions, adding to the growing frustration among the beneficiaries.</p>
<p>The situation intensified when the labor department reportedly had payment forms filled out for disbursal of funds slated to begin from July 2025. Despite these administrative steps, beneficiaries claim that no actual action has been taken to process these payments, leaving them in limbo and questioning the efficacy of the system.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> India's pension system has evolved significantly over the years, aiming to provide social security to both organized and unorganized sector workers, with schemes like the National Pension System (NPS) and Atal Pension Yojana (APY) being prominent examples.</div>
<p>The ongoing delays highlight a critical issue for those who depend on these pension funds for their post-retirement livelihood. The plight of these beneficiaries underscores the urgent need for a streamlined and responsive mechanism to ensure timely disbursal of their rightful dues.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Retired Teacher Duped in Telegram Investment Scheme</h2>
<p>Ajmer: A former teacher, Digvijay Singh Rathore, residing in Mayo Link Road, has become the latest victim of a sophisticated cyber fraud racket operating through the messaging platform Telegram.</p>
<p>Rathore, while browsing Telegram, encountered an advertisement promising lucrative returns on investments. Lured by the prospect of significant profits, he clicked on the advertisement, which led to a conversation on WhatsApp with the fraudsters.</p>
<p>The cybercriminals presented various investment plans, painting a picture of substantial gains. Trusting their assurances, Rathore proceeded to invest a total of Rs 10,000 through QR codes provided by the scammers. This initial investment was made in installments: two payments of Rs 1,000 each and four payments of Rs 2,000.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Online investment scams often use social media platforms like Telegram and WhatsApp to lure victims with promises of unrealistic returns.</div>
<p>When Rathore attempted to withdraw his money, the fraudsters informed him that an additional deposit of Rs 23,518 was required to process the withdrawal. Unsuspectingly, he transferred this amount as well. However, his funds remained inaccessible.</p>
<p>The scammers then escalated their demands, claiming the previous deposit was made to the wrong account and that a fresh deposit of Rs 23,520 was necessary to get his entire money back. This continuous cycle of demands for more money, without any returns, finally made Rathore realize he had been defrauded.</p>
<p>He has since lodged a formal complaint with the cybercrime police station. Authorities have registered a case and have begun a thorough investigation into the matter.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer Transporter Falls Victim to ₹2 Lakh Online Freight Fraud</h2>
<p>An Ajmer-based transport entrepreneur has reportedly lost a significant sum of money in a sophisticated online fraud. Narayan Jat, a transport businessman residing in Bawdi village within the Saran police station area, has filed a complaint after being duped of approximately ₹2 lakh under the guise of goods transportation services.</p>
<p>The incident has prompted the Cyber Police Station to launch a thorough investigation, following a complaint lodged by the victim on the national Cyber Helpline 1930.</p>
<h2>How the Deception Unfolded</h2>
<p>According to the details provided, Narayan Jat initially received a message in one of his WhatsApp groups concerning the transport of goods to Karnataka. Subsequently, an individual identifying himself as Manoj contacted Jat, claiming a requirement for two vehicles to ferry goods to the southern state.</p>
<p>Following their conversation, Jat proceeded to load the merchandise from Manakpur and dispatched both vehicles towards Karnataka, believing he had secured a legitimate business deal.</p>
<h3>The Advance Payment Trap</h3>
<p>The alleged scammer then requested an advance payment. Narayan Jat transferred ₹50,000 into Manoj's account. Shortly after, another demand for funds was made, to which Jat complied, depositing an additional ₹1,50,000. This brought the total amount transferred to a hefty ₹2 lakh.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Cybercrime complaints in India have seen a significant rise, with online financial fraud being one of the most common types reported to national helplines.</div>
<p>The next day, the situation took a turn when a person named Lokesh contacted Narayan, informing him that no advance payment had been received. When Jat attempted to reach Manoj, he was assured that the payment would be made to Lokesh by noon.</p>
<p>However, after this assurance, repeated attempts to contact Manoj proved futile. His mobile phone was switched off, and he became completely unreachable, raising immediate suspicions for the transport businessman.</p>
<h2>Police Investigation Underway</h2>
<p>Realizing he had likely fallen victim to an online scam, Narayan Jat promptly reported the incident to Cyber Helpline 1930. The Cyber Police Station has since registered the complaint and commenced its investigation to trace the fraudsters and recover the lost funds.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Teacher Suspended Over Alleged Forged Transfer Bid in Ajmer</h2>
<p>Ajmer is currently abuzz with news of a teacher's suspension following allegations of presenting forged transfer and teaching arrangement orders to secure a preferred posting. The education department has suspended teacher Suman Devi, while Ganj police have initiated an investigation, registering a case under charges of fraud and using counterfeit documents.</p>
<p>The incident came to light after Vinay Kumar Jain, the principal of Government Senior Secondary School, Ajaysar, filed a complaint. According to ASI Bhawani Singh Rathore of Ganj Police Station, the principal reported that on August 19, Suman Devi presented an order dated August 18.</p>
<h2>Departmental Verification Uncovers Deception</h2>
<p>This order, purportedly issued by the Bikaner Directorate of Elementary Education, stated her transfer to a school in Bhadra Block, Hanumangarh, under a 'teaching arrangement'. However, a subsequent departmental verification revealed that no such order had ever been issued by the directorate.</p>
<p>Following this discovery, the District Education Officer moved swiftly, suspending the teacher on August 21. Her headquarters have since been fixed at the Binay BEO office. Ganj police officially registered a case on August 23, and are now actively scrutinizing the presented documents as part of their ongoing investigation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Uproar in Ajmer's Ward 30 as Residents Confront Outgoing Councilor</h2>
<p>Ajmer is buzzing with political activity, especially in Ward Number 30, where the atmosphere has become charged ahead of the upcoming municipal corporation elections. Today, hundreds of residents from the Harijan Basti in Chandravardai's B-Block took to the streets, voicing their anger against outgoing Councilor Waseem Khan.</p>
<p>The protest saw locals raising slogans and opening a direct front against Khan, accusing him of widespread neglect during his tenure. The Valmiki community spearheaded the demonstration, highlighting a severe lack of essential services.</p>
<h2>Residents Detail Grievances Over Basic Facilities</h2>
<p>The core of the residents' frustration stems from what they describe as a complete failure in development promises. People living in the area claim that the entire term of the outgoing councilor was marked by hollow assurances.</p>
<p>"Our area suffers from a severe lack of basic amenities," a local resident explained. "Drains are broken, roads are riddled with potholes, there's a constant shortage of drinking water, and sanitation services are virtually non-existent. We've complained to Councilor Waseem Khan multiple times, but nothing has ever been done."</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Municipal Corporations in India are responsible for local civic administration and infrastructure development, including roads, water supply, and sanitation, within urban areas.</div>
<h2>Serious Allegations Leveled Against Councilor</h2>
<p>Community members didn't hold back, leveling several serious accusations against Waseem Khan. They allege that the councilor's focus remained limited to specific lanes, while the Harijan Basti was consistently overlooked and ignored.</p>
<p>An elderly woman from the locality shared her disillusionment, stating, "They come asking for votes during elections, and then for five years, they don't even show their face."</p>
<h2>Basic Amenities Emerge as Key Election Issue</h2>
<p>With the municipal elections on the horizon, the issue of basic amenities has now become the primary battleground in Ward 30. This very issue is fast becoming the biggest challenge for outgoing Councilor Waseem Khan.</p>
<p>The residents of Harijan Basti have issued a clear warning: this time, they will cast their votes only for a candidate who remains accessible and committed to solving their problems.</p>
<p>As of now, there has been no official response from outgoing Councilor Waseem Khan regarding these strong accusations and protests.</p>
<p>It remains to be seen who the people of Ward 30 will choose as their new representative in the upcoming elections. For more detailed news coverage, visit https://en.mttvindia.com.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Dotasra Sparks Debate: 'Bluetooth Era for Respect, Don't Bend Your Spine'</h2>
<p>Ajmer witnessed a lively address from Dotasra, who, in his distinctive style, challenged conventional societal norms, particularly the tradition of touching feet. He spoke passionately about self-respect and the evolving dynamics of social interaction among today's youth.</p>
<p>“It’s the age of Bluetooth,” Dotasra remarked, drawing a contemporary parallel. “If you want to show respect to someone, just say 'pranam' or 'dhok' from a distance, but don’t unnecessarily bend your spine before anyone.” His comments quickly resonated, sparking conversations around deference and dignity.</p>
<h2>Redefining Greatness: Character Over Status</h2>
<p>Dotasra went on to redefine what truly constitutes greatness within society. He firmly stated that genuine stature comes from being hardworking, possessing strong character, and upholding honesty. According to him, positions of power or accumulated wealth do not inherently make someone great.</p>
<p>This perspective underscores a shift towards valuing intrinsic qualities over superficial indicators of success. He emphasized that true influence is earned through integrity and effort, not merely by status.</p>
<h2>A Call to Action: Mentoring the Next Generation</h2>
<p>Beyond individual self-respect, Dotasra issued a powerful call to action for accomplished and capable individuals. He urged them not to confine their achievements to personal success alone. Instead, he appealed for them to take on the vital responsibility of guiding the upcoming generation.</p>
<p>This includes supporting their education, providing coaching, and helping them navigate the right path. He highlighted the critical role these mentors play in shaping future leaders and innovators.</p>
<h2>Paving the Way for Real Social Change</h2>
<p>Dotasra articulated a vision for profound social transformation. He believes that true societal change can only become a reality when every successful individual commits to helping at least one young person. This collective effort, he suggested, is the bedrock for building a more empowered and progressive community.</p>
<p>His message in Ajmer underlines the importance of both individual dignity and collective responsibility in fostering a better future. Follow MTTV India News to stay ahead with breaking news.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Dotasra's Stern Warning: No Caste on Justice's Chair, Honesty Trumps 'Creamy' Postings</h2>
<p>Ajmer witnessed a powerful address from Govind Singh Dotasra during a recent talent felicitation ceremony. The senior leader delivered a clear, unvarnished message to administrative officials and those serving in the judicial system, stressing the paramount importance of impartiality.</p>
<h3>Prioritizing Right Over Caste or Creed</h3>
<p>Dotasra minced no words, stating unequivocally that officials occupying the 'chair of justice' must not consider an individual's caste or religion. Instead, their sole focus should be on discerning whether the matter at hand is right or wrong.</p>
<p>He further elaborated on this principle, asserting that true administrative dharma lies in standing with the correct party, even if it means going against someone from one's own community. This call for unwavering fairness resonated strongly with the audience.</p>
<h3>The Enduring Strength of Integrity</h3>
<p>Appealing to officials to operate with honesty and without succumbing to external pressures, Dotasra drew a sharp contrast between temporary comfort and lasting satisfaction. He acknowledged that "malaidaar postings," or lucrative assignments, might offer fleeting pleasure.</p>
<p>However, he emphasized that the profound self-satisfaction and inherent strength derived from honest work are unparalleled and cannot be found in any position, regardless of its perks.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> The Indian judiciary is designed to be independent, with its foundational principles enshrined in the Constitution to ensure impartial and fair justice delivery across the nation.</div>
<h3>A Call to Social Organizations</h3>
<p>Beyond his message to officials, Dotasra also extended an appeal to social organizations. He urged them to concentrate their efforts on eradicating societal evils rather than attempting to influence the justice system.</p>
<p>His remarks underscore a broader push for integrity and ethical conduct within India's administrative and judicial frameworks.</p>
<h3>The Path Forward</h3>
<p>Dotasra's powerful statements serve as a timely reminder of the core tenets of justice and good governance. His emphasis on impartiality and the inherent strength of honesty provides a blueprint for officials striving to uphold their duties.</p>

<p>Pushkar, the revered pilgrimage town, is currently immersed in devotion as the famous Shri Rama Vaikunthnath Naya Rangji Temple observes its grand Centenary Festival. This five-day celebration marks a hundred years since the temple's establishment, kicking off with powerful Vedic chants and majestic processions of the deities. The temple premises are buzzing with devotees, and continuous religious rituals have filled the atmosphere of Pushkar with profound spirituality.</p>
<p>Saty Narayan Ramawat, the temple manager, shared details about the elaborate preparations. A massive yagyashala, three attractive stages, and an air-conditioned pandal have been set up in the sports ground for the ceremonies. Forty priests from the Ramanuj sect in Chennai are conducting the rituals following Dravidian traditions, while local Rajasthani pandits guide the patrons in offering oblations into the nine-kund Mahayagya. A separate Havana kund has also been arranged specifically for the temple trust.</p>
<h2>A Journey Through Devotion and Tradition</h2>
<p>The festivities began with Adhivas and Tirumanjan Abhishek. On Saturday evening, Lord Vishvaksen's procession, carried on a golden Mangalgiri, reached the garden behind the temple for the Mridaharan ritual. This was followed by Ankuraaropan, Ankura Hom, and Som Kumbh Sthapana.</p>
<p>Sunday morning saw the Bal Bhog ceremony, leading into a magnificent procession of Lord Vaikunthnath with Sridevi and Bhudevi. Accompanied by traditional music and fanfare, the procession wound through major routes before arriving at Pradhan Varah Ghat. Here, after prayers at the Pushkar Sarovar, the deities received a milk anointing (Dugdh Abhishek) and Tirumanjan Abhishek. The yagya mandap then hosted Tulsi-Pushpa Archana, Shricharan Puja, Kumbh Aradhana, Aarti, and Havana, alongside captivating cultural dance performances.</p>
<h2>Anticipated Highlights and Grand Finale</h2>
<p>One of the most anticipated events of the festival is the Kalyanotsav, scheduled for August 24.

<p>From the Mahakumbh stage, senior Congress leaders adopted an aggressive stance. They didn't just focus on the dairy dispute but also tackled pressing issues like education, health, inflation, and farmer exploitation, putting the BJP government squarely in the crosshairs.</p>
<p>Dotasra, thundering from the podium, declared, “This so-called 'double engine' government has, in reality, become a 'double destruction' government. On one hand, they are kicking Rajasthan's milk unions and livestock keepers in the stomach, auctioning off our 'Saras' to Gujarati traders. On the other, they have ruined the state's education and health systems.”</p>
<p>He reminded the crowd of the previous Congress government's initiatives, saying, “Remember our time, when we ensured free treatment for every poor person through the world-class 'Chiranjeevi Health Insurance Scheme,' and provided better education to children of the poor by opening Mahatma Gandhi English Medium Schools. Today, hospitals lack medicines, schools lack teachers, and the poor are left to wander aimlessly.”</p>
<h2>Ramchandra Chaudhary Hailed as 'Hero of White Revolution'</h2>
<p>The success of this historic Mahakumbh largely centered around Ajmer Dairy President Shri Ramchandra Chaudhary. PCC Chief Dotasra showered him with praise in front of the thousands-strong crowd.</p>
<p>“Ramchandra Chaudhary is not just an individual; he is a living institution of cooperation,” Dotasra proclaimed. He went on to declare, “Today, I don't limit him to just one post. He is truly a 'leader of farmers,' a 'leader of livestock keepers,' a 'leader of dairy,' and a 'leader of cooperatives.' For his fearless fight for the rights of milk producers in Rajasthan, Ramchandra ji is our 'greatest hero of the White Revolution.'”</p>
<h2>Call for Jantar Mantar March Receives Overwhelming Support</h2>
<p>The rally reached its peak when the 'Hero of the White Revolution,' Ramchandra Chaudhary, took the microphone. Directly addressing the thousands present, he issued a powerful call: “If we have to march on foot to Delhi's Jantar Mantar to save our 'Saras' and secure our rights, are you all ready to join me?”</p>
<p>At this single call, the entire Kachhawa Garden erupted in slogans. Thousands of farmers, women, and youth rose from their seats, raising both hands in the air to show their resounding support. This unprecedented enthusiasm and support from the crowd left Dotasra and all other Congress leaders on stage elated.</p>
<h2>Clear Ultimatum Issued by Protesters</h2>
<p>The Mahakumbh issued a clear ultimatum: If the alleged conspiracy to grant Amul (Sardar Patel Multi State Federation) a backdoor entry into Rajasthan is not immediately halted, and outstanding payments under the Dudh Utpadak Sambal Yojana are not released, this surging crowd will march from Ajmer to Delhi's Jantar Mantar, and if necessary, even knock on the doors of the Supreme Court.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>ABRSM Draws a Line: Keep Politics Out of Schools</h2>
<p>Jaipur witnessed a strong declaration from the All India National Educational Federation (ABRSM) today, asserting that 'temples of education' will not be allowed to transform into political wrestling grounds. The federation has taken a firm stand against external interference and the political exploitation of teachers within government schools.</p>
<p>The ABRSM's stern statement comes in the wake of a recent incident. Reports indicate that CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka, accompanied by some outsiders, attempted an inspection at a government school. This move was met with resistance from local villagers, reportedly escalating into an argument involving alleged verbal abuse and physical altercations.</p>
<h2>Incident Under Scrutiny: ABRSM Condemns Violence, Questions Motives</h2>
<p>While the federation made it clear that violence or physical assault cannot be condoned under any circumstances, it also raised a critical question: why are political disputes being brought into government school premises? The ABRSM highlighted that established channels within the education department and administration are available for individuals or organizations with concerns about a school's management, facilities, or academic standards.</p>
<p>Entering school premises without following due process to instigate political conflicts is simply unacceptable, the federation stated.</p>

<p>Ajmer police have arrested a man for allegedly stealing approximately 750 grams of gold and ₹15 lakh in cash from a jeweler's shop in the Naya Bazaar area, falling under the Kotwali police station limits. The accused, identified as Dilip Chaurasia, a resident of Adarsh Nagar, was a long-time employee at the very shop he is now suspected of robbing.</p>

<h2>The Roots of the Case</h2>
<p>According to police official Shambhu Singh, Waris Khan was first booked in a road accident case back in 2005. His consistent absence during court hearings subsequently led to a permanent warrant being issued against him.</p>

<h2>Next Steps and Campaign Impact</h2>
<p>Following his arrest, police are now completing the necessary legal procedures to present Waris Khan before the court. This apprehension is being hailed as a major breakthrough for the special campaign aimed at bringing absconding warrantees to justice.</p>
<p>The operation underscores the police's commitment to ensuring that those who attempt to evade legal proceedings are eventually brought to account. Stay tuned to MTTV India News for the latest developments.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Congress Alleges Code Violation Ahead of Civic Polls</h2>
<p>Ajmer is currently buzzing with political activity as the city gears up for the upcoming municipal corporation elections. In a significant development, the Ajmer City District Congress Committee has formally approached the District Election Officer, demanding the immediate cancellation of a proposed event, the 'Matrishakti Monsoon Fest', scheduled for August 23.</p>
<p>The Congress alleges that the event, organized by Ajmer South MLA Anita Bhadel, violates the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) that is now in force. This move highlights the heightened scrutiny political parties are placing on each other's activities during the election period.</p>
<h2>Objections Raised Over Promotional Material</h2>
<p>Leading the charge, Ajmer City District Congress Committee General Secretary Vivek Parashar, along with the legal cell, submitted a memorandum to the District Collector. They pointed out that promotional materials for the 'Matrishakti Monsoon Fest' prominently feature MLA Bhadel's photograph and the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) election symbol. This, they argue, constitutes a clear breach of election guidelines designed to ensure a level playing field.</p>
<p>State General Secretary Ashish Rajoria also joined Parashar in submitting the grievance. The Congress leaders firmly stated that such promotion is unacceptable once the election code is active.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> The Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is a set of guidelines issued by the Election Commission of India for political parties and candidates to ensure free and fair elections. It comes into effect from the date the election schedule is announced and remains in force until the election process is completed.</div>
<h2>Demands for Immediate Action</h2>
<p>The memorandum wasn't just about lodging a complaint; it laid out specific demands. The Congress urged authorities to immediately stop the 'Matrishakti Monsoon Fest' from taking place. They also called for the removal of all banners and posters related to the event across the city.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the Congress committee demanded that government employees be strictly prohibited from participating in or assisting with the event. Their overarching goal, as stated in the memorandum, is to ensure fair and impartial elections in Ajmer.</p>
<p>The District Election Officer is now expected to review the complaint and take appropriate action to uphold the integrity of the electoral process. This situation sets a precedent for how closely political conduct will be monitored in the run-up to the municipal polls.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer: Family Alleges Police Inaction Despite FIR, Demands Justice</h2>
<p>Ajmer, Rajasthan – A disturbing case has emerged from Khiriya village in the Sarwar police station area, where a local resident, Mahendra, has approached the Inspector General of Police, Ajmer Range, seeking urgent intervention. Mahendra alleges that despite filing an FIR (No. 165/2026) at Sarwar police station, no action has been taken against the accused, who continue to roam freely and threaten his family.</p>
<p>Mahendra's plea to the top brass highlights serious concerns about the local police's handling of the case. He's called for an impartial investigation, preferably by a senior officer, and the swift arrest of those involved.</p>
<h2>Accused Roaming Free, Family Under Constant Threat</h2>
<p>According to the memorandum submitted to the IG, Mahendra had filed a case under sections 115(2), 333, 352, 351(2), and 189(2) of the BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) at Sarwar police station. However, he claims the accused have not been apprehended and are openly intimidating him and his family.</p>
<p>The family reportedly lives in a constant state of fear, receiving alleged death threats and warnings to leave the village. Mahendra further accuses the culprits of boasting about their connections within the police, using this to threaten that no action will ever be taken against them.</p>
<h2>Serious Allegations: Attempted Murder and Surveillance</h2>
<p>The situation took a grave turn when Mahendra revealed a shocking incident during which the accused allegedly attempted to run over his son, Ankush, with a Bolero vehicle, seemingly with intent to kill. He claims that his son's medical examination was not conducted following this incident. Furthermore, the Bolero vehicle, despite being brought to the police station, was allegedly not properly seized and was released after just three days.</p>
<p>Adding to the family's distress, Mahendra has accused the culprits of installing cameras aimed directly at his home. He states these cameras record private moments of his family, including women, while they sleep, cook, and go about their daily lives. This has led to serious concerns for their privacy and safety, with Mahendra demanding the immediate removal of these surveillance devices.</p>
<h2>Demands for Impartial Probe and Protection</h2>
<p>Mahendra's appeal to the Inspector General of Police is clear: he wants an unbiased investigation by a senior officer, strict legal action, and the immediate arrest of the accused. Crucially, he has also requested that his family's safety be ensured, holding the accused responsible for any untoward incident that might occur in the future.</p>
<h2>FAQ</h2>
<h3>Q1: What are the main allegations made by Mahendra against the Sarwar police?</h3>
<p>Mahendra alleges that despite filing an FIR (No. 165/2026), Sarwar police have not arrested the accused, who are threatening his family. He also claims his son was subjected to an attempted murder, evidence was mishandled, and surveillance cameras have been installed at his home.</p>
<h3>Q2: What is Mahendra demanding from the police authorities?</h3>
<p>Mahendra is demanding an impartial investigation by a senior officer, strict legal action and swift arrest of the accused, ensuring his family's safety, and the immediate removal of surveillance cameras from his property.</p>

<media:keywords>Saras Dairy, Amul, Rajasthan Cooperatives, Farmer Livelihood</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>'Saras Bhogao-Saras Bachao': A Call to Protect Rajasthan's Dairy Cooperatives</h2>
<p>Ajmer, Rajasthan – A significant gathering, dubbed the 'Saras Sahakar Mahakumbh,' is set to take place on Sunday, August 23rd, at Kachhawa Garden, near Thbiji Farm, in Ajmer. The event, starting at 11 AM, is organized with the central theme 'Chase Amul Away, Save Saras.' The primary objective is to voice strong opposition to the expansion of Amul in Rajasthan and to bolster the state's own Saras Dairy and cooperative system.</p>
<p>The Mahakumbh is expected to see participation from Saras Dairy chairmen of 15 district unions across the state, alongside prominent leaders including former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and other senior figures from the cooperative sector.</p>
<h2>Strategic Planning Against Amul's Entry</h2>
<p>Ajmer Saras Dairy Chairman, Ramchandra Chaudhary, highlighted that the Mahakumbh will serve as a crucial platform to strategize the potential impact of Amul's expansion on Saras Dairy and the livelihoods of millions of dairy farmers. An estimated 25,000 men and women from across Rajasthan are anticipated to attend the event.</p>
<h2>Serious Allegations Leveled Against Amul</h2>
<p>In the lead-up to the Mahakumbh, Chaudhary and Saras supporters have released a detailed list of accusations against Amul. These allegations include claims of misleading consumers and compromising product quality. It is alleged that Amul uses vegetable fat instead of natural fats and employs preservatives in its products, contrasting with Saras's adherence to purity standards. Furthermore, Amul is accused of selling products past their expiry date and employing a dual pricing policy, charging higher prices in other states compared to its home state of Gujarat.</p>
<h3>Key Issues on the Mahakumbh Agenda:</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Saras's Three-Tier Cooperative Structure:</strong> Chaudhary emphasized that Saras operates on a three-tier cooperative model – village-level milk committees, district milk unions, and a state-level organization – envisioned by Dr. Verghese Kurien. He questioned who truly benefits from Amul's operational model, which lacks such a structure.</li>
<li><strong>Cooperative Bylaws vs. Imposed Laws:</strong> Allegations were made that Saras institutions function under established bylaws, while Amul follows different policies. This disparity is expected to be a significant point of discussion.</li>
<li><strong>Protecting Thousands of Crores in Saras Infrastructure:</strong> Chaudhary stressed that Rajasthan has invested billions of rupees in building Saras's infrastructure over the years. He warned that Amul's expansion without a proper policy framework could jeopardize this established system.</li>
<li><strong>Threat to Small Dairy Farmers' Livelihoods:</strong> The entry of Amul is feared to directly impact the livelihoods of small farmers and cattle rearers in the state. Concerns were raised about increased competition due to the lack of clear pricing and procurement mechanisms for local milk producers.</li>
<li><strong>Plea to the Chief Minister:</strong> Ramchandra Chaudhary urged the Chief Minister to deny Amul permission for expansion in Rajasthan. He stated that if the government proceeds with such a decision, protests would escalate to Jantar Mantar, and legal recourse up to the Supreme Court would be considered.</li>
<li><strong>Crisis for 13,000 Committees:</strong> Chaudhary claimed that Amul's entry could lead to the closure of approximately 13,000 milk committees in Rajasthan, affecting the livelihoods of lakhs of people.</li>
<li><strong>Demand for Pending Payments:</strong> The Mahakumbh will also press the state government for the prompt release of pending payments, estimated between ₹300 to ₹400 crore, for the Mid-Day Meal scheme, which have been outstanding for about 1.5 years. Additionally, a demand will be made for the swift disbursement of dues for the Chief Minister's Milk Producer Sambal Yojana, pending for nearly three months.</li>
</ul>
<p>Chaudhary concluded by stating that Saras is more than just a dairy brand; it is a cooperative system deeply intertwined with the livelihoods of cattle rearers and millions of families in Rajasthan's villages. He asserted that any major decision concerning the state's dairy sector must prioritize the interests of local farmers, milk committees, and Saras.</p>
<p>The 'Saras Sahakar Mahakumbh' aims to be a forum for organizers to discuss strategies for safeguarding the state's cooperative dairy system and to exert pressure on the government to address their demands.</p>

<media:keywords>‘Deepika, Padukone, leaked, the, story, Spirit’:Producer, claims, actress, demanded, 10, profit, share, leaked, the, story, after, refusal, was, later, removed, from, the, film</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[A fresh claim has surfaced about Deepika Padukone's exit from Prabhas' upcoming film Spirit. Pranay Reddy Vanga, the brother of the film's producer and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, claimed in an interview with NTV that Deepika was dropped from the project. According to him, the actress had asked for a substantial fee along with a 10% share of the film's profits. When the makers did not agree to these terms and began considering other options, he alleged that details about the film's story and her character were leaked. ‘Demanded 10% profit share, then leaked the story’ Pranay Reddy Vanga claimed that his brother, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, had been in talks with Deepika for nearly a year and a half about casting her in the film. However, he alleged that the actress demanded a higher fee along with a 10% share of the film's profits. According to Pranay, the demand did not fit within the makers' budget. He further claimed that when the team began considering another actress for the role, details of the film's plot were leaked. Pranay said that Sandeep was deeply upset over the alleged leak. ‘What kind of feminism is this? leaking the story?’ In the interview, Pranay Reddy Vanga appeared to take a swipe at Deepika without naming her directly. He said that when filmmakers narrate a story to an actor, it is based on complete trust and an unspoken understanding between both sides. Pranay questioned how leaking the story of a film, which the makers had worked on for years, could be justified in the name of feminism. He also referred to the alleged belittling of a young actor. Following Deepika's exit from Spirit, Triptii Dimri was cast opposite Prabhas. Meanwhile, Deepika has maintained a different stance on the controversy. In a 2025 interview with CNBC-TV18, she said that she prefers to fight her battles quietly, but added that, for some reason, things eventually come out. Clash with Salman Khan's film on Eid 2027 Amid the ongoing controversy, the makers of Spirit have also announced the film's release date. The action film, starring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri, is set to hit theatres on March 5, 2027, coinciding with Eid. The release is expected to result in a major box-office clash. Salman Khan and Nayanthara's upcoming film, currently referred to as SVC 63, is also scheduled for an Eid release. Directed by Vamshi Paidipally and produced by Dil Raju, the film is reportedly being developed under the tentative title Monster.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>‘Rise, above, Hindu-Muslim, mindset’:Kangana, Ranaut, hits, out, Sharmila, Tagore, over, her, Vande, Mataram, remarks</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Kangana Ranaut has reacted after veteran actress Sharmila Tagore's comments on Vande Mataram. Sharmila Tagore had said that some parts of Vande Mataram might not align with the faith of monotheistic people. She stated that the song mentions multiple deities. Kangana said - I am surprised that your thinking is so narrow Kangana shared the video of Sharmila Tagore's interview on her Instagram Stories. She wrote, "I am happy that Sharmila ji spoke about her objection to Vande Mataram. But as an artist, I am surprised how her thinking about art and poetry can be so narrow and artificial." Kangana further wrote, "Words in any poem or song are metaphors. The poet or artist uses all kinds of imagination to create the desired effect and draws seemingly impossible parallels. Vivekananda famously said that I need young people who are made of iron, whose bones are of steel, and whose veins run with electricity." She said, "Vivekananda was not predicting the weather. He was merely calling for the awakening of power. Please come out of the Hindu-Muslim mindset." Finally, Kangana wrote, "Even if we believe in one God, doctors also call strength 'shakti'. Let's embrace each other like our own. I love you very much and I don't mind that strong hug you always give." Sharmila said - Difficult for those who believe in one God Sharmila Tagore explained her point to IANS, saying, "My opinion is that many religious people believe in one God, not many gods. Vande Mataram has a stanza that mentions many deities." She further added, "For those who believe in one religion, it is difficult to say 'Vande Kali, Vande Durga'. Therefore, if we take all religious people of India along, its first two stanzas are very good." Sharmila Tagore has not yet reacted to Kangana Ranaut's comments. Kangana Ranaut in discussion due to her statements Called GenZ 'Gutter-dwellers' - Kangana had said about the students who arrived at the 'Cockroach Janata Party' protest at Jantar Mantar, 'I have never seen so much ugliness in one place in my life. These reels of Gen Z protests are nauseating. The way they talk and the kind of language they use. I have never seen everything so jarring and so vulgar together in every single frame in my life. I call them Generation Gutter. Some of them have nothing to offer the system. They are not good at studies.' After the controversy over the statement escalated, Kangana said that she had not called the youth of the entire country 'gutter-dwellers'. Her statement was about a specific group present at the protest at Jantar Mantar. Said to Baba Ramdev - Don't dream of my youth - Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has criticized Kangana. In a conversation with TV9 Bharatvarsh, Baba Ramdev reacted to Kangana's comments about Gen Z, saying, "What is her qualification? How was her childhood? How was her youth? What were her past deeds? I don't want to talk about such people. Calling any young person of this country, Gen Z, 'gutter-patter' (nonsense/rubbish talk), is a sign of a deranged mind. It's wrong. Her party members should take cognizance of this." Kangana retaliated against Baba Ramdev through an Instagram story, writing, Baba ji, don't day-dream about my youth or bedroom. Only someone based on rumors and gossip can think like that. At least I have never been reprimanded by the Supreme Court for false or fake medical claims. So don't lecture me on character. Whatever your character is, mine is far better than that. No fraud has been found here. Wrote to women - they call sexual relations their freedom Kangana wrote in the post that a new generation of Indian women influenced by Western thought has emerged, which she calls the 'gutter generation'. She alleged that some of them have nothing to give to society. At the same time, she questioned their thinking and mindset, saying that they are not even capable of becoming good homemakers. Despite this, they flaunt their freedom. They call drugs, alcohol, and countless sexual relationships their freedom. Shamelessly live off their parents' earnings They shamelessly live off their parents' earnings. They constantly talk about living an independent life, while in reality, they are not self-reliant at all. Let me remind you of a small thing, in an independent life, one has to earn. If you try to be independent without taking responsibility, then you are just a person with a distorted mindset, 'gutter trash'. It should be noted that Kangana is a BJP MP. She often remains in discussion due to her statements. Along with her political career, Kangana is also working in films. Soon, she will be seen in Tanu Weds Manu 3 and Sita The Incarnation.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Govinda is once again in the spotlight as the 62-year-old actor prepares for another comeback. Alongside his professional plans, rumours about trouble in his marriage to Sunita Ahuja have also kept him in the news. Govinda is back in the headlines due to a public feud with his wife, Sunita Ahuja. The controversy sparked after Sunita publicly accused the actor of dating his much younger co-star, Komal Rani Swarnkar, and even called him a "sugar daddy". Hitting back, Govinda warned Sunita to "stay within limits," accusing her of using abusive language and trying to sabotage his comeback. So, as Govinda finds himself back in the spotlight, let’s revisit his journey and the career that made him a superstar. Govinda's mother was a singer and actress Born on 21 December 1963, Govinda grew up in a family connected to films. His father, Arun Kumar Ahuja, was an actor and filmmaker, while his mother, Nirmala Devi, was a singer and actress. Govinda entered Bollywood with Ilzaam and Love 86 in 1986. Both films were successful, and within a few years, he became one of the biggest stars of the 1980s and 1990s. But Govinda was not just known for acting. His comic timing, energetic dance moves, and unique style became his biggest strengths. At one point, his popularity was so high that he reportedly had several releases in a single year. When Govinda was competing with the Khans There was a time when Govinda was considered powerful enough to compete with the biggest stars of Bollywood, including the three Khans. 1992's "Shola Aur Shabnam" and 1993's "Aankhen" established Govinda as a comic hero, with “ Aankhen ” becoming the biggest hit of 1993. "Shola Aur Shabnam" is considered the first comeback of Govinda's career. After this, Govinda worked with the film's director David Dhawan in more than 10 blockbuster films, including "Raja Babu," "Coolie No. 1," "Hero No. 1," "Dulhe Raja," "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan," and "Haseena Maan Jaayegi." Govinda worked with David Dhawan in 17 films His partnership with director David Dhawan became a huge success. They worked together in 17 films, most of which were hits. At one point, Govinda was even considered strong competition for Bollywood’s biggest stars, including the three Khans. But behind the superstar was a very different personal story. Govinda met Sunita when he was still struggling. Their constant arguments slowly turned into love. Govinda and Sunita’s secret love story Govinda met Sunita Ahuja when he was still struggling in Mumbai. They initially fought frequently, but their arguments gradually turned into love. Sunita was only 18 when the couple secretly married on 11 March 1987. Govinda reportedly kept the marriage private because he feared that getting married could affect his career. Their daughter Tina was born a year later, after which Govinda revealed the marriage to the public. The Neelam connection that almost changed his marriage Govinda’s name was most famously linked with actress Neelam Kothari. In an old interview, he admitted that he had even considered ending his engagement with Sunita and marrying Neelam. However, Sunita eventually convinced him to stay in the relationship. Govinda was also linked to several other actresses during his peak years, although these remained largely rumours. Years later, Sunita said that she had never caught Govinda cheating on her red-handed, even while acknowledging that rumours about his alleged affairs had affected their marriage. From David Dhawan’s favourite hero to a career setback Govinda and David Dhawan once formed one of Bollywood’s most successful actor-director partnerships. However, their relationship eventually turned bitter. According to Govinda, disagreements over a scene during Ek Aur Ek Gyarah contributed to their fallout. Later, when Govinda wanted to revive the friendship, he claimed that David suggested he should take up smaller roles. The comment reportedly hurt him deeply. The two eventually reconciled at Ramesh Taurani’s Diwali party in 2024. When films stopped working, Govinda entered politics Govinda's film career was sidelined after his relationship with David Dhawan soured. When films like "Albela," "Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya," "Ankhiyon Se Goli Mare," and "Wah Tera Kya Kehna" began to flop, Govinda entered politics. In 2004, Govinda won the Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat for the Congress party, becoming a Member of Parliament. Govinda acted in several films like 'Sandwich' and 'Sukh' during his parliamentary term from 2004 to 2009, but they were not successful. However, his political career did not last long. After leaving politics, Govinda tried to rebuild his position in Bollywood. Suniel Shetty gave Govinda a much-needed opportunity During one of his difficult phases, Govinda reportedly approached Suniel Shetty for work. Shetty was producing Bhagam Bhag and was supposed to play the character of Babla himself. When Govinda asked him for a role, Suniel reportedly gave him his part. The film, directed by Priyadarshan, brought Govinda and Akshay Kumar together and helped put him back in the spotlight. Then came Salman Khan and ‘Partner’ Govinda’s biggest second chance came with Partner in 2007. The combination worked brilliantly. Partner became one of the biggest successes of the year and is often regarded as Govinda’s second major comeback. The success, however, did not lead to a permanent revival. Films such as Kill Dil, Happy Ending, Aa Gaya Hero and Rangeela Raja failed to recreate his earlier magic. Govinda's 7-year-long feud with nephew Krushna Tensions also surfaced between the family and Govinda’s nephew Krushna Abhishek and his wife Kashmera Shah. Public disagreements and comments kept the families apart for years, leading to a strained relationship. However, after decades of bitterness, the families eventually chose to put their differences aside. Govinda and Krushna’s relationship gradually improved, while Sunita and Kashmera also moved towards reconciliation. The accident that shocked fans In October 2024, Govinda accidentally shot himself in the leg with his licensed revolver at his Mumbai home. He was reportedly cleaning the weapon while preparing to leave for a flight when it went off. He was taken to hospital and the bullet was removed. Govinda later described the incident as an accident. Govinda claims unreleased films cost him ₹100 crore Govinda has claimed that several of his films have been completed but remain unreleased. He has also alleged that people in the industry have worked against him and prevented his films from getting proper releases. According to the actor, around ₹100 crore is stuck in these projects. He believes some of the films. Salman likely to support his old friend Govinda Now, Salman Khan appears to be extending his support to his old friend once again. Govinda is reportedly preparing for another comeback, with several projects being discussed. His name has also been linked to Battle of Galwan and a possible Partner 2, although these projects have not received official confirmation. After decades of superhits, controversies, relationships, politics and career setbacks, Govinda is now hoping that his next chapter will bring back the magic that once made him one of Bollywood’s most loved stars. Notably, Govinda is going to be seen with actress Komal Rani Swarnkar in his upcoming “Roopa.” Who is Komal Rani Swarnkar? Komal Rani Swarnkar is a newcomer and aspiring Marathi actress whose name has recently been linked with Govinda. The speculation became bigger when Sunita Ahuja appeared to refer to a woman named Komal while discussing rumours about her husband. Sunita has made strong comments about the alleged relationship, but there has been no confirmation that Govinda and Komal are romantically involved. Govinda has also objected to some of Sunita’s public remarks.
Komal set to make her Bollywood debut with Govinda Govinda is set to make his Bollywood comeback after seven years and is reportedly launching Komal through a film produced by him. There are also reports that Komal will appear in Govinda's second film, Duniyadari. In July, during a press conference for the upcoming film Roopa, Govinda introduced Komal to the media and praised her. He said that after watching the film, audiences would recognise her as a talented actress. So, will Govinda be able to recreate the magic of 90s once again?]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer Dargah Area Sees Anti-Encroachment Drive</h2>
<p>Ajmer witnessed a significant anti-encroachment drive this Wednesday as the Municipal Corporation finally stirred into action around the famed Dargah Sharif. After a series of persistent complaints from the Dargah Committee, the corporation's anti-encroachment team launched a special operation, clearing illegal structures that had long plagued the area.</p>
<p>The corporation's team, backed by a substantial contingent, moved in during the early hours of Wednesday. They targeted main roads, narrow alleys, and pedestrian pathways surrounding the Dargah, removing illegal stalls, cabins, and goods spread by shopkeepers that obstructed public access. The sudden action certainly created a stir and a sense of panic among those who had encroached upon public land.</p>
<h2>Municipal Corporation's Working Style Under Scrutiny</h2>
<p>While the action itself has brought some relief, the entire episode has cast a shadow on the Municipal Corporation's operational efficiency, raising several critical questions.</p>
<h3>Why the Wait for Complaints?</h3>
<p>Perhaps the most pressing question is whether the civic body needs constant prodding from the Dargah Committee or other entities to fulfill its basic responsibilities. Many locals wonder why the corporation isn't more proactive in monitoring and addressing such issues without waiting for formal complaints.</p>
<h3>A Permanent Fix or Just a Facade?</h3>
<p>The Dargah area attracts thousands of pilgrims daily from across India and abroad. Encroachments frequently lead to severe inconvenience for devotees and contribute to traffic jams. This raises concerns: Is this drive a genuine step towards a permanent solution, or is it merely a temporary measure, a superficial exercise to clear the books?</p>
<h3>Will the Illegal Market Return?</h3>
<p>Local residents often voice their skepticism, noting that such cleared areas tend to revert to their encroached state within a few hours or days. The big question now is whether the Municipal Corporation will ensure these pathways remain encroachment-free this time, or if the illegal market will simply resurface.</p>
<p>All eyes are on the Municipal Corporation to see if they maintain regular monitoring in the area to keep things in order, or if they'll simply lapse back into slumber, waiting for the next major complaint.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer Villagers Appeal to Collector Over Grazing Land Encroachment</h2>
<p>Residents of Kadampura village in Ajmer district have formally approached the District Collector, urging immediate intervention against illegal encroachment on their community's vital grazing land. The villagers, from Tilana Gram Panchayat in Nasirabad Tehsil, highlight a severe public interest issue affecting their community and livestock.</p>
<p>A petition, presented by concerned villagers, details how government-designated grazing land, recorded for public use in revenue records (Account No. New-125, Old-128, Khasra Nos. 179/845, 90/838, 91/829), has been illegally occupied. This land, crucial for the community's cattle, is now reportedly under cultivation.</p>
<h2>Allegations of Illegal Occupation and Threats</h2>
<p>The petition specifically names four individuals from Kadampura village: Shaitan Jat s/o Omkar Jat, Basram Jat s/o Deva Jat, Deva Jat s/o Sukka Jat, and Omkar Jat s/o Sukka Jat. These individuals are accused of not only encroaching upon the land and sowing crops but also actively preventing local cattle owners from accessing it for grazing.</p>
<p>Villagers report frequent altercations and threats. Shaitan Jat, in particular, has allegedly issued open threats of murder if anyone attempts to bring their animals to the land, reportedly boasting about a past murder conviction. This has instilled widespread fear among the residents.</p>
<h2>Community Faces Severe Livestock Crisis</h2>
<p>The intimidation has led to villagers being unable to utilize the land, leaving their livestock without adequate grazing areas. This situation has created a significant challenge for local cattle owners, directly impacting their livelihoods and the well-being of their animals.</p>
<p>The core purpose of the public land, intended for communal benefit, is severely undermined by these alleged illegal activities. Villagers like Gopak, Gaya, Amrav, Badilal, Bhavarlal, Pramraj, Bal, Surendra, Prahlad, and Hanuman are among those consistently raising these concerns.</p>
<p>The community is now appealing to the District Collector to ensure the land is freed from encroachment and appropriate legal action is taken against those responsible.</p>

<p>What steps do you think the administration should prioritize to resolve such land disputes and protect community resources? Stay tuned to MTTV India News for the latest developments.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer: Water Meter Stolen from Dhoala Bhata Home, Caught on CCTV</h2>
<p>Ajmer is grappling with a noticeable rise in theft incidents across the city. The latest case comes from the Dhoala Bhata area, falling under the Alwar Gate police station jurisdiction, where a water meter was brazenly stolen from outside a house late at night.</p>
<p>The incident, captured clearly on CCTV, shows a young individual making off with the meter. Authorities are now reviewing the footage as residents express growing concern over the escalating crime rate.</p>
<h2>Late Night Heist in Rajendra Colony</h2>
<p>The theft occurred around 2:17 AM at the residence of Bharat Solanki, located in Rajendra Colony, Dhoala Bhata (specifically, the lane behind the Old St. Joseph School). Footage reveals a young boy approaching the house stealthily, taking advantage of the deserted street in the dead of night.</p>
<p>In a matter of minutes, the individual managed to unfasten the water meter from outside Solanki's home before quickly fleeing the scene. The precision and speed of the act suggest a degree of familiarity with such operations.</p>
<h2>Residents Demand Increased Night Patrolling</h2>
<p>The theft came to light the following morning when Solanki's family discovered the missing meter and observed water gushing out. The incident has left local residents shaken and frustrated.</p>
<p>Many in the area report a significant increase in the presence of anti-social elements during nighttime hours. They believe these petty thefts, often targeting items that can be sold for a few quick rupees, are linked to drug use or minor addictions.</p>
<p>Community members have collectively urged the Alwar Gate Police Station to step up night patrolling in the Dhoala Bhata area. They are calling for swift and decisive action against the unknown thief to curb the growing wave of such crimes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Youth Congress Kicks Off 'Panchayat Task Force' in Ajmer</h2>
<p><strong>Ajmer, Rajasthan – August 20, 2026:</strong> The Indian Youth Congress has officially launched its ambitious 'Panchayat Task Force' (PTF) campaign in Ajmer city. This initiative is designed to significantly boost youth participation in upcoming local body and Panchayati Raj elections across the region.</p>
<p>The primary goal of the PTF is clear: identify young individuals under the age of 39 who show an interest in contesting elections. Once identified, these potential candidates will receive crucial training and organizational support before their names are forwarded to the Pradesh Congress leadership.</p>
<h2>Press Briefing Unveils Campaign Details</h2>
<p>A press conference to mark the launch was held today at Vrindavan Restaurant in Ajmer, starting at 1 PM. Mohit Malhotra, District President of Ajmer City Youth Congress, shared that the event focused on increasing youth involvement in the Ajmer Municipal Corporation elections.</p>
<p>The briefing saw the presence of several key figures, including Priyanka Sanap, National Co-Incharge and National Secretary of Youth Congress for PTF, and National Convener Arbab Khan. Rishi Tank, Ajmer City Incharge, also attended, alongside Dr. Rajkumar Jaipal, President of Ajmer City District Congress. Candidates for Ajmer North and South, Mahendra Singh Ralawata and Draupadi Koli, respectively, were present, as were Ajmer Youth Congress President Mohit Malhotra and NSUI District President Abhishek Samson.</p>
<h2>Grassroots Identification and Support</h2>
<p>Priyanka Sanap emphasized the campaign's grassroots approach. She stated that the Youth Congress will actively identify strong young individuals, including former Youth Congress members, who are under 39 and have a solid connection to the ground. Reports on these potential candidates will be compiled and sent to the top leadership to ensure their active participation.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Local body elections in India, including municipal and panchayat polls, are crucial for grassroots democracy, allowing citizens to directly elect representatives who address local issues and development needs.</div>
<p>Dr. Rajkumar Jaipal added that the Congress party intends to primarily back eligible Youth Congress candidates in the 80 wards of the Ajmer Municipal Corporation, ensuring their participation in the ticket distribution process.</p>
<p>Today, National Secretary Priyanka Sanap is scheduled to visit various wards within the Ajmer Municipal Corporation area. She will engage directly with the public at the grassroots level, aiming to identify and propose names of potential young candidates to the organization's top brass.</p>
<p>All office bearers and youth workers from the Ajmer City District Youth Congress were present at the press conference, demonstrating strong organizational backing for the new initiative.</p>
<p>It's important to remember that while the PTF identifies potential candidates, a recommendation from the task force does not guarantee a ticket. The final selection of candidates will strictly adhere to the party's established procedures.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Pushkar Congress Raises Concerns Over Voter List Integrity, Seeks Relief for Ramdevra Pilgrims</h2>
<p>The Block Congress Committee Pushkar, along with the Nagar Congress Committee Pushkar and several allied organizations, recently submitted a memorandum to the Sub-Divisional Officer and Election Officer. The delegation was led by PCC Vice President Naseem Akhtar Insaf, highlighting key concerns for the region.</p>
<p>During their meeting with the officials, the Congress leaders presented two distinct sets of demands. These focused on ensuring transparency in the upcoming municipal elections and providing relief to pilgrims visiting the popular Ramdevra Mela.</p>
<h3>Demands for Transparent Voter Rolls</h3>
<p>One of the primary issues raised in the memorandum pertained to the integrity of the voter list for the Nagar Parishad elections. The Congress committee reported receiving complaints about alleged pressure on Booth Level Officers (BLOs) to add fake, ineligible, or non-resident individuals to the voter rolls.</p>
<p>Leaders expressed apprehension that such practices could compromise the purity of the voter list and negatively impact the entire electoral process. They urged the authorities to conduct impartial physical verifications of all new voter applications, strictly based on residence and eligibility, before any names are added.</p>
<h3>Seeking Relief for Ramdevra Devotees</h3>
<p>In a separate memorandum, the delegation appealed for an exemption from passenger tax (yatri kar) and parking fees for pilgrims attending the Ramdevra Mela. This exemption was specifically requested for the month of Bhadrapad.</p>
<p>The committee underscored that most devotees traveling to the Ramdevra Mela belong to economically disadvantaged and middle-class backgrounds. Waiving these charges would offer significant financial relief to the pilgrims, making their spiritual journey more accessible.</p>
<h3>Key Leaders Present</h3>
<p>A host of prominent local leaders and members were present during the submission of the memoranda. This included Block Congress Committee President Sanjay Joshi, Pushkar Nagar Congress Committee President Pramod Parashar, former Municipal Chairman Damodar Sharma, senior leader Haji Insaf Ali, Damodar Mukhia, Babulal Dagdi, Baidyanath Parashar, Tikam Sharma, Sharad Vaishnav, Rajendra Parashar, Gopal Tilania, Narayan Dayma, Bhagchand Dagdi, Sanjay Dagdi, Alok Bhardwaj, Madhusudan Parashar, Ravindra Nagora, Jitendra Gehlot, Jagdish Kumawat, Suresh Parashar, Girish Parashar, Vinod Parashar, Benigopal Mantri, Prithviraj Uday, Omprakash Tigaya, Premprakash Bakolia, Dilip Uday, Amarchand Sen, Mahesh Nayak, Jaykumar Valmiki, Samar Teji, Majeet Commando, Ravishankar Dholpuria, Vijay Mukherjee, Arbaz Khan, Bhagchand Adali, Surendra Rathodiya, and Hukum Singh.</p>
<p>The local administration is expected to review the submitted memorandums and address the concerns raised. Follow MTTV India News to stay ahead with breaking news and local developments.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav has said that he has faced losses of around ₹200-250 crore over the past 13 years, amid his ongoing cheque bounce and loan-related disputes. Speaking to news agency ANI, the 55-year-old actor said he takes responsibility for his financial obligations and is committed to repaying those who are owed money, even if it means personally delivering the payment to them. His remarks come after the Central Bank of India issued an auction notice for his ancestral property over the alleged non-repayment of a ₹16 crore loan. Says he earned less and missed over 50 foreign tours Rajpal Yadav said he faced the biggest financial setback between 2013 and 2016. According to him, he missed out on at least 50 opportunities to travel abroad, while his earnings also dropped significantly during this period. Explaining the difference in his fees, Rajpal said that he was sometimes paid only ₹10 when he believed his work deserved ₹100. However, he added that, as a student of the arts, he values perfection in his craft more than money. ‘I will make sure everyone gets their money’ Speaking about his financial situation and debts, Rajpal Yadav said he has either repaid or will soon repay everyone from whom he has borrowed money. He said that even if he owes money to 200 people, he will ensure that each person receives what they are owed. Rajpal added that neither ₹5 crore nor ₹250 crore can define or buy him. He said his financial troubles do not represent his entire career, adding that even today, around 500 people ask him for selfies at airports. Bank to auction property worth ₹3.10 crore Action has been initiated against Rajpal Yadav over the alleged non-repayment of a loan taken from the Central Bank of India. Rajpal had reportedly taken a loan of ₹16.61 crore from the bank's Mumbai branch in the names of his wife, Radha Yadav, and his mother, Godavari. Central Bank of India has pasted an attachment notice on his ancestral house in Shahjahanpur regarding the outstanding loan of ₹16.61 crore. Rajpal, who has been to jail in a check bounce case
Rajpal Yadav's check bounce case started in 2010 when he took a loan of ₹5 crore from Murli Projects Private Limited to make his film 'Ata Pata Lapata'. This film, released in 2012, flopped. After this, the check bounce case has been ongoing in court since 2013. Delhi High Court had ordered him to surrender In July, the Delhi High Court ordered Rajpal Yadav to surrender, questioning his apparent lack of intent to repay the loan. Earlier, in February 2026, he had surrendered at Tihar Jail and spent 12 days there. He is currently preparing for Haiwaan with Akshay Kumar and SVC 63 with Salman Khan. Rajpal Yadav's career Became a popular name in comedy Rajpal Yadav became widely known for his comic roles in films such as Hungama (2003), Garam Masala (2005), Chup Chup Ke and Phir Hera Pheri (2006), and Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007). He has worked in around eight to ten films with director Priyadarshan. He has also received the Best Versatile Actor Award. Rajpal was honoured with the Yash Bharti Award, Uttar Pradesh's highest civilian honour, for his work in the 2003 film Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon. The recognition acknowledged both his comic and serious performances. Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan were among the prominent personalities who had received the award before him. Rajpal was also nominated for Best Comic Actor awards at platforms including Filmfare and IIFA, but did not win. ‘My first dream in Mumbai was simply to survive’ After completing his studies at the National School of Drama, Rajpal moved to Mumbai. He received little support in the beginning and once said that his first dream in the city was simply to survive. After a period of struggle, he gradually began getting acting opportunities. During his early years, Rajpal reportedly accommodated and fed around 20-22 struggling actors at his home. Nawazuddin Siddiqui once described Rajpal's home as being like a langar, where struggling actors could find free food and accommodation. School friends gave him nicknames because of his height Rajpal Yadav is around 5 feet 1 inch tall. During his school days, his friends reportedly called him Chhotu and Batla because of his height. At the age of 20, he got a job at the Ordnance Clothing Factory in his village. Got married at the age of 20 Rajpal has spoken about getting married at around the age of 20 due to family pressure. At the time, he was living in his village and had just begun working. First wife died 15 minutes after their daughter's birth Rajpal's first wife, Karuna, died 15 minutes after giving birth to their daughter, Jyoti, a year after their marriage. In an interview, Rajpal recalled that he had expected to meet his wife the following day but instead had to carry her body on his shoulders. He became a single father at a young age, while his mother and sister-in-law helped take care of Jyoti. Rajpal later met his second wife, Radha, in Canada while shooting for Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta's Hero: Love Story of a Spy. The two met through a common friend and got married on June 10, 2003. Launched his own political party in 2016 In 2016, Rajpal launched a political party called the Sarv Sambhav Party (SSP) in Vrindavan. He served as its General Secretary and star campaigner but did not contest elections himself. The party's motto was, “Politics of dialogue, not dispute.” Rajpal pledged to work honestly while placing his hand on religious texts including the Gita, Quran, Bible, Guru Granth Sahib and Ramayana, along with the Constitution. For the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the party announced plans to contest around 390-400 of the state's 403 seats. Its headquarters were in Lucknow. Rajpal's brothers, Shripal Singh Yadav and Rajesh Singh Yadav, also contested elections on the party's ticket, but the party did not achieve any significant success. Says he survived three life-threatening incidents Rajpal has said in an interview that he survived three situations that could have cost him his life. He once went into deep water while bathing in the Ganges and lost consciousness. On another occasion, he narrowly escaped being run over by a bullock cart. He has also spoken about surviving a dangerous encounter involving wild dogs]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actor Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja’s manager, Shashi Sinha, has questioned her decision to withdraw the divorce petition. In an interview with NDTV, Sinha said that if Sunita intended to withdraw the case, there was no need to take the matter to court in the first place. He said family issues should ideally be resolved through discussion at home and expressed disappointment that the dispute had become a public spectacle. ‘If the case had to be withdrawn, why was it filed?’ Shashi Sinha said, “There was no need to go to court. Family matters can be resolved by sitting together and talking. If the petition was going to be withdrawn today, why was it filed in the first place? I am very sad that we all became a spectacle for no reason.” Manager says the family's image was affected Sinha said the differences between Govinda and Sunita had remained in the media spotlight for around one and a half to two years. According to him, this affected Govinda and the family’s image. He added that disagreements are common between married couples, but once a personal dispute reaches the court and the media, it becomes a public matter. He felt the situation could have been handled privately. Sunita withdraws divorce petition against Govinda Sunita withdrew her divorce petition against Govinda on Wednesday. She was seen arriving at Mumbai’s Family Court with their son, Yashvardhan Ahuja. Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar, Govinda’s manager Shashi Ranjan said that things were now fine and that the couple was expected to return to normal. A video recorded outside the court showed paparazzi asking Sunita and Yashvardhan what had happened inside. Yashvardhan replied, “Nothing happened. Let it go,” before escorting his mother towards their car. Before leaving, Sunita appeared irritated and said, “We had gone to celebrate a birthday,” before getting into the car. Sunita had filed for divorce in December 2024 Sunita had filed a divorce petition against Govinda at the Bandra Family Court in December 2024. The matter came into the public domain in August 2025, when reports claimed that she had sought divorce under Sections 13(1)(i), 13(1)(ia) and 13(1)(ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The petition reportedly included allegations of cruelty, infidelity and desertion against Govinda. Read the full news here.. Sunita recently objected to Govinda's appearance with co-star The divorce controversy resurfaced amid Sunita’s comments about Govinda being seen with his co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar from his upcoming comeback film Rupa. Sunita had criticised the actor for being seen with a woman she described as being around their daughter’s age. She also said Govinda should be ashamed of the situation. She also took a dig at Komal’s clothing, saying that if the actress’s alleged “sugar daddy” was so wealthy, she should at least dress decently. Sunita added that people should maintain their own standards and compared the situation with the way she lives her life. Govinda tells Sunita to ‘stay within limits’ Govinda reacted strongly to his wife’s remarks and warned her to “stay within limits”. He also defended Komal and accused Sunita of trying to damage his reputation and affect his comeback. Govinda said that when Sunita was working on projects such as Laughter Chefs and Lock Upp 2, she had involved him in them. However, he claimed that after he started working on a film, she began making statements that could harm his image and career. Govinda defends his co-star While defending Komal Rani Swarnkar, Govinda said people from less privileged backgrounds should not be humiliated or shamed after entering the film industry. He said those who have achieved wealth, fame and respect should not use their position to put down people who are still struggling. Govinda also objected to Sunita's language, saying- I don't do the work that is offered outside, and you are interfering in what I am doing. And when you were doing your work, be it a cooking show (Laughter Chef) or Lock Upp, you had Tina (daughter) call me for it, you took my services. Well, that's your right, but the moment I started a film, you are leaving no stone unturned to make me fall out of people's hearts, get defamed, or something happens that my business doesn't work out. Meanwhile, Govinda said, defending co-actress Rani Swarnakar, If people from a poor family have come into films, do not defame or shame them in such a way that they run away. You have capability, strength, respect, wealth, fame, everything has been given by God. This does not mean that you humiliate those who do not have these things. This does not suit you. Govinda also criticised Sunita for allegedly using abusive language He said that such language, particularly when it involves abuses referring to mothers and sisters, could set a bad example. He added that he did not expect such behaviour from her and urged her to consider how it would look if others followed the same example. Read the full news here Sunita had spoken about Govinda's alleged affairs In an interview with MissMalini, Sunita had also spoken about rumours surrounding Govinda’s alleged affairs. She said that while people can make mistakes when they are young, hearing such things at the age of 63 was difficult for her. Speaking about the name Komal, she said she disliked it because of the person associated with it. ‘Govinda had many affairs in his youth’ Sunita also spoke about Govinda’s alleged affairs during her appearance on Lock Upp 2. She said that she had tolerated his alleged affairs when they were younger because she believed that love meant being able to tolerate certain things. However, she added that she would not accept the same things now. Govinda and Sunita married in 1987 Govinda and Sunita Ahuja got married in a private ceremony in 1987. At the time, Govinda was already an established Bollywood star. The couple kept their marriage private for nearly two years because they reportedly believed that making it public could affect Govinda’s career. They eventually revealed their marriage after the birth of their daughter, Tina Ahuja. The couple later welcomed their son, Yashvardhan Ahuja. Their children and careers Govinda and Sunita’s daughter, Tina Ahuja, made her acting debut with the 2015 film Second Hand Husband. Their son, Yashvardhan Ahuja, is expected to make his Bollywood debut soon. The latest development comes after months of public statements and speculation surrounding Govinda and Sunita’s marriage, with Sunita’s decision to withdraw the divorce petition now suggesting that the couple may be trying to resolve their differences. Also read this news related to Govinda... ‘Roaming with a girl the age of his daughter’: Wife Sunita Ahuja lashed out at Govinda, says, 'He should be ashamed, he has become a sugar daddy' Responding to the question of Govinda being seen with actress Komal Rani, wife Sunita Ahuja said that Govinda's intellect has been corrupted. Actually, on Monday, when a paparazzi asked Sunita Ahuja, "Govinda sir was also seen with Komal ma'am, has the film promotion started?" Read the full news here]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bollywood actress and politician Kangana Ranaut has sparked a fresh debate by linking a horrific double murder in Bengaluru to the pitfalls of modern dating culture. Sharing an image of a blue plastic drum on social media, she warned her followers about the dangers of losing empathy in relationships. Kangana warns against "Body Count" culture Reacting to the crime, Kangana expressed concern over rising violence in relationships. "Every other day we read about women throwing men off cliffs or men packing women into blue drums," she wrote. She stated that while adopting Western lifestyles is easy, modern dating trends like "benching," "ghosting," and tracking "body counts" are desensitising society. According to Kangana, reducing human connections to mere physical bodies strips away their sanctity. "Once you normalise this, your relationships are reduced to bodies. Then, don't cry when you are turned into a corpse (dead body) yourself," she warned. She concluded her post sarcastically, telling her critics that a "blue drum" might be waiting around the corner for them. The Bengaluru Double Murder Case Kangana’s remarks came in response to a shocking crime in Bengaluru's Chikkabanavara area. The Crime: A 26-year-old woman named Harini, along with her lover Vinay, allegedly murdered her 35-year-old husband, Abhinandan, to secure property worth crores and continue their illicit affair. The Innocent Victim: The couple's four-year-old son, Yaduveer, who witnessed his father's murder, was also strangled to death to eliminate any eyewitnesses. After the murders, Harini called the police, claiming she found her husband and son dead in bed. Investigators noticed contradictions in her statements. Under intense questioning, Harini confessed to the double murder. She has been arrested, while the police are actively searching for her absconding lover, Vinay. Kangana's recent controversies: Gen Z remark to spat with Ramdev This is not the first time Kangana's outspoken remarks have brought her in the spotlight. Recently, she faced severe backlash for calling Gen Z "Generation Gutter." Commenting on student protests at Jantar Mantar, she described their behaviour as "nauseating" and claimed they had nothing to offer the system. Following widespread outrage, she clarified that she was only referring to a specific group of protesters, not the entire youth of the country. Spat with Ramdev This comment drew sharp criticism from yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who questioned her credentials and character. In a television interview, Ramdev asked, "What is her qualification? How was her childhood and youth? Calling the nation's youth 'gutter' shows a disturbed mind." Kangana quickly retaliated on Instagram, telling Ramdev to stop "daydreaming" about her jawani (youth) or bedroom. She wrote, "At least I have never been reprimanded by the Supreme Court for making false or fake medical claims. Do not teach me lessons on character." She asserted that her character was far better than his, concluding that she has never been caught committing fraud. Kangana Ranaut’s recent controversial remarks ‘Generation Gutter’ remark: Kangana criticised students and protesters at a Jantar Mantar demonstration, calling them “Generation Gutter” and objecting to their language, behaviour and the way some of them conducted themselves. Kangana's ‘Lomdi’ remark on Naseeruddin Shah Targeting the film industry, Kangana said that those who shed tears over the Jantar Mantar issue should also raise their voice for children in Jharkhand. Referring to Naseeruddin Shah's video, Kangana said that he had made such statements and threats in the video, which she considers highly objectionable. She said that the Prime Minister is the elected leader of the country and his position should be respected under the dignity of democracy. Kangana said, Such dirty, such vulgar things and threats: 'Get out of the country', 'We will burn you', 'We will kill you', what is this, does anyone think, are these civilised things?  Kangana questioned the love for Pakistan Kangana said, 'And whenever you see, be it their films, their talks, their interviews, when will this love story of Pakistan end? Whenever you see, they are dying in love with Pakistan. I want to know that so many years have passed since the partition, then why is this love story not ending?' She further said, ';When there are so many, be it the Pahalgam attack or the Operation Sindoor we carried out, the country is going somewhere else, the armies are going somewhere else, the citizens have some other struggles regarding neighboring countries, when will this Bollywood love story with Pakistan end?' What did Kangana say about Naseeruddin Shah? Kangana Ranaut wrote on her Instagram story on Tuesday- Kangana has been called the ‘Queen of Controversy’ A look at her old remarks and controversy-]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Randeep Hooda, one of Bollywood’s most respected actors known for his intense performances, turns 50 today. While he has made a name for himself with serious and challenging roles on screen, the actor also has a strong humanitarian side. Whenever a natural disaster has struck, or people have needed help, Randeep has often stepped away from the glamour of Bollywood and worked on the ground to help those affected. Waded through floodwaters to help Assam victims Randeep recently showed this side of himself during the severe floods in Assam. As floodwaters submerged several areas, he did not limit his support to messages on social media. He travelled to Sivasagar district in Assam, where he waded through floodwaters to distribute relief supplies to those affected. He also visited families staying at a relief camp set up at a railway station, served food and helped manage the langar, or community kitchen. Has been involved in relief work for years Randeep’s involvement in relief work is not limited to his recent visit to Assam. He has been involved in humanitarian efforts during several crises over the years. In 2018, when Kerala was hit by devastating floods that affected millions, Randeep travelled to the flood-affected areas. Working with the organisation Khalsa Aid, he helped prepare and distribute food at relief camps. Pictures of the actor cooking in large vessels and serving food to flood victims also went viral at the time. Arranged water tankers during Nashik drought In 2019, Randeep stepped in to help people affected by a severe drought in Maharashtra’s Nashik district. The situation in Vele village was particularly difficult, with wells drying up and villagers struggling to get drinking water. Randeep visited the village himself, assessed the situation, and arranged around 25 to 30 water tankers every day for the affected villagers. Helped Punjab flood victims in 2025 Randeep also extended his support during the 2025 Punjab floods. He visited affected areas and distributed relief material to people struggling with the impact of the floods. Randeep’s social work extends beyond disaster relief. He has also been actively involved in environmental and wildlife conservation. He has regularly joined environmental activist Afroz Shah in beach and river clean-up drives in Mumbai. On several weekends, while many Bollywood celebrities were attending parties, Randeep was seen at Versova Beach early in the morning, picking up plastic and other waste. UN appointed him a brand ambassador Randeep’s work for the environment has also earned him international recognition. The United Nations appointed him as a brand ambassador for the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS). The actor has often spoken about his love for animals and nature, saying that this connection goes back to his childhood. He has adopted several horses and has also supported campaigns for tiger conservation. Social service runs in his family Randeep’s interest in humanitarian work was also influenced by his family. His father is a doctor, while his mother, Asha Hooda, is a social worker. Randeep has said that watching his mother help people during his childhood made him more sensitive towards those in need. Financial struggles pushed him towards odd jobs Randeep moved to Melbourne, Australia, after completing school for higher education. He earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing and later completed a master’s degree in business management and human resources. However, his time in Australia was far from easy. He took up several odd jobs to cover his living and education expenses. In an interview with Mid-Day, Randeep revealed that his financial struggles became so severe that he even considered becoming a gigolo, or male sex worker. While living in Australia, he worked as a dishwasher, waiter, car washer and taxi driver, often working late into the night. Randeep said that he once approached an agent about becoming a gigolo. However, when the agent asked him to provide a service to a couple, he refused. Airline job and theatre led to his first film After completing his studies in Australia, Randeep returned to India and took up a marketing job with an airline company in Mumbai. Alongside his job, he continued acting in theatre and working as a model. During one of his theatre rehearsals in Mumbai, filmmaker Mira Nair noticed him. Impressed by his personality and acting, she called him for an audition for her upcoming film Monsoon Wedding. Randeep got the role of NRI relative Rahul Chadha, marking his Bollywood debut in 2001. Signed a ₹35,000 contract and waited four years for work After Monsoon Wedding, Randeep expected more film offers. However, his career soon faced an unexpected setback. Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma watched one of Randeep’s plays and was impressed by his performance. He signed the actor for his gangster film on an exclusive contract worth ₹35,000 a month. The contract meant Randeep could not work with another production house until Ram Gopal Varma’s film was completed. However, delays in the script and production kept the film on hold for four years. Lost film opportunities because of the contract Because of the contract, Randeep missed out on several film opportunities. Eventually, Ram Gopal Varma’s D was released in 2005, but the film failed at the box office. The four-year wait had a major impact on Randeep’s career. He later appeared in films such as Darna Zaroori Hai and Ru-Ba-Ru, but neither could give his career the push he needed. A major turning point came in 2010 with Milan Luthria’s Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai. Randeep played the honest police officer ACP Wilson in the film. Despite sharing the screen with established stars such as Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi, Randeep made a strong impression on both critics and audiences with his performance. The film helped the industry take notice of his acting abilities, and he began receiving more substantial roles. He went on to appear in films such as Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster, Jannat 2 and Jism 2. Went to extreme lengths for Highway Randeep is known for his dedication to his characters and has often gone to great lengths to prepare for roles. In Imtiaz Ali’s 2014 film Highway, he played Mahabir Bhati, a rugged and intimidating kidnapper. For the role, Randeep wanted his character to look tired, rough and sunburnt. Instead of relying entirely on make-up, he reportedly spent hours in the sun to achieve a naturally weathered look. He also revealed that on days when he looked too fresh for the role, he would drink vodka to make himself appear more tired and worn out. Met ‘Bikini Killer’ Charles Sobhraj in Nepal jail For the 2015 film Main Aur Charles, Randeep played Charles Sobhraj, the notorious criminal also known as the ‘Bikini Killer’. To understand Sobhraj’s mannerisms, body language and way of speaking, Randeep wanted to meet him in person. He asked the film’s director, P. Raman, to arrange a meeting. At the time, Sobhraj was imprisoned at Kathmandu’s Central Jail in Nepal. After several legal procedures, Randeep was allowed to meet him. In an interview with E-Times, Randeep recalled that Sobhraj initially did not recognise him. He introduced himself and explained that he was playing him in a film. Sobhraj asked how Randeep had prepared for the role, and the actor said he had studied his old videos available online. Sobhraj later signed a film poster for Randeep during their meeting. Kept his hair and beard for three years for Battle of Saragarhi One of the most difficult phases of Randeep’s career was connected to his dream project Battle of Saragarhi. He was set to play Havildar Ishar Singh in the film. To show his respect for Sikh history and the character, Randeep took a vow at the Golden Temple in Amritsar that he would not cut his hair or beard until the film was completed and released. The film began shooting under director Rajkumar Santoshi, and some portions were filmed. Randeep did not sign another film for three years and continued growing his hair for the role. However, production and budget problems eventually brought the project to a halt. Battle of Saragarhi was eventually shelved During the delay, Akshay Kumar’s film Kesari, which was also based on the Battle of Saragarhi, was announced and later released. Eventually, Randeep’s Battle of Saragarhi was shelved permanently. For him, three years of preparation, waiting and emotional investment came to an end. When he finally had to cut his hair, Randeep visited a gurdwara. According to Sikh tradition, he apologised for being unable to fulfil his vow before cutting his hair. Called his breakup with Sushmita Sen a turning point Randeep’s personal life has also seen its share of highs and lows. He met actress and former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen while working on the 2006 film Karma Aur Holi. The two grew close during the shoot and dated for around three years. After their breakup, Randeep went through a difficult period and felt lonely. However, he later said in interviews that the end of the relationship became one of the biggest turning points in his life. According to Randeep, the breakup made him more focused on his work and acting career. He decided to put his energy into films and become more serious about his profession. Linked with other actresses Apart from Sushmita Sen, Randeep’s name has also been linked with actress Neetu Chandra. During the making of Murder 3, there were also reports of a link-up between Randeep and Aditi Rao Hydari. However, Randeep has never openly spoken in detail about these reports. Randeep Hooda’s journey has been far from easy. From working odd jobs in Australia and spending four years waiting for a film to be completed to taking on physically and emotionally demanding roles, he has faced several setbacks along the way. At 50, Randeep continues to balance his work in cinema with his commitment to humanitarian, environmental and wildlife causes.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>‘Kachha, Badam’, fame, Anjali, Arora, play, Sita:Why, she, facing, backlash, and, what, are, her, old, controversies</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Social media personality Anjali Arora is set to portray Sita in Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha. Her casting has sparked a debate on social media, with some users questioning the decision to cast her in the role. Several posts have criticised the choice, while some reactions have gone as far as calling it a “Black Day in Indian Cinema”. However, these are social media reactions and do not represent a universal response to her casting. Why is Anjali facing backlash? The criticism appears to be linked to Anjali’s image as a social media influencer and her past controversies. Sita is a highly revered character, and casting decisions involving the role often attract strong public reactions. Some viewers believe that an actor’s previous public image should be taken into account when choosing someone for such a character. At the same time, Anjali’s supporters have defended the casting and argued that an actor should be judged on their performance rather than their social media image or past controversies. She became famous with ‘kachha badam’ Anjali Arora became widely known in 2022 after a dance video featuring the Bengali viral song Kacha Badam became popular on social media. The video gave her a major boost in popularity and turned her into a familiar face among Instagram users. However, the sudden fame also brought heavy trolling and online scrutiny. Her social media presence, videos, and personal life became frequent subjects of online discussion. Appeared on ‘Lock Upp’ In the same year, Anjali participated in Kangana Ranaut’s reality show Lock Upp. The show gave her a much larger platform and introduced her to viewers beyond social media. Several moments from her time on the show became topics of discussion online. Her personal life, relationships, and statements made during the programme were widely discussed, adding to her growing popularity as well as the controversies surrounding her. Fake MMS controversy One of the biggest controversies involving Anjali came in 2022, when a morphed and allegedly fake intimate video was circulated online and falsely linked to her. The video spread rapidly across social media, leading to widespread discussion and trolling. Anjali denied that the woman in the video was her and spoke about the incident's emotional impact. The episode also raised concerns about how fabricated content can quickly spread online and affect a person's reputation. Took legal action over the video Following the circulation of the alleged fake video, Anjali took legal action against several media platforms and YouTube channels. She alleged that the circulation and publication of the fabricated content had damaged her reputation. The controversy also highlighted a larger issue faced by social media personalities, where manipulated videos and unverified claims can reach millions of people before their authenticity is properly checked. Social media fame brought both support and criticism Anjali’s journey shows how quickly social media can turn an unknown face into a celebrity. Her viral videos helped her build a large following, but the same visibility also exposed her to intense online criticism. From dance videos to reality television and controversies involving fake content, she has remained a topic of discussion among social media users. Her transition from influencer to actor has now brought another major debate. Sita role becomes her latest controversy Her casting as Sita in Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha has become the latest controversy in Anjali’s career. Some social media users have questioned whether her previous public image is suitable for the role, while others have urged people to wait for the performance before judging her. The debate also raises a familiar question in the entertainment industry: Should an actor’s past controversies influence how audiences view them in a new role? For now, Anjali’s performance as Sita will determine whether the initial criticism changes once the project reaches audiences.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Director Indra Kumar and producer Ashok Thakeria have been named in an FIR over an alleged ₹1.50 crore fraud linked to the distribution and copyright rights of the 2007 comedy film Dhamaal. The case was registered on August 17 following a complaint by Vikas Baldevraj Sahni, owner of Mumbai-based film distribution company Grand Master. Police are investigating the allegations. Distributor alleges rights were sold According to the complaint, Grand Master entered into an agreement with Maruti International, associated with Thakeria, on October 15, 2019. The deal allegedly covered the worldwide distribution rights, digital rights and copyrights of Dhamaal for ₹1.50 crore. Sahni has alleged that he was assured that no third party had already acquired the film’s rights. Shemaroo had reportedly acquired rights earlier The complaint claims that Grand Master later discovered that Shemaroo Entertainment had already acquired the film’s lifetime OTT and digital rights in 2015, four years before the agreement with Grand Master. According to the allegations, Maruti International later entered into a supplemental agreement with Shemaroo in October 2020, under which the producer retained rights for a single satellite channel. Grand master claims financial losses The distributor has alleged that the disputed rights deal caused significant financial losses to the company. According to the complaint, Grand Master had also obtained a copyright certificate in 2023 and submitted documents to the police to support its claim over the film’s rights. The alleged dispute also affected the company’s planned commercial dealings with other digital platforms. police begin investigation The FIR was registered under Sections 318(4) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The allegations have not been established in court, and the police investigation is currently underway. The case will determine whether the claims regarding the sale and ownership of Dhamaal’s rights are supported by evidence. ‘Dhamaal’ released in 2007 Directed by Indra Kumar, Dhamaal was released in 2007 and starred Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi and Riteish Deshmukh in key roles. The comedy became popular with audiences and later grew into a successful film franchise. The current legal dispute, however, relates specifically to the alleged rights transaction involving the original film.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut hit back at yoga guru Baba Ramdev over his remarks on her ‘Generation Gutter’ comment. Kangana reacted to Baba Ramdev’s statement that her remark about Gen Z reflected a corrupted mind. In an Instagram Story, she wrote, “Baba ji, don't day-dream about my youth or bedroom.” She further said that such thoughts could only come from rumours and gossip. Kangana also referred to Ramdev’s past controversies, writing, “At least I have never been reprimanded by the Supreme Court for false or fake medical claims.” She added, “So don't lecture me on character. Whatever your character is, mine is far better than that. No fraud has been found here.” Actually, recently Baba Ramdev had criticized Kangana Ranaut's 'Generation Gutter' statement regarding Gen Z. In a conversation with TV9 Bharatvarsh, Baba Ramdev, reacting to Kangana's comments on Gen Z, had said, What is her qualification? How was her childhood? How was her youth? What were her past deeds like? I don't want to talk about such people. Calling the youth of any country, Gen Z, 'gutter-patter', this is a sign of a spoiled mind. It's wrong. Her party members should take notice of this." When asked whether Kangana had been an admirer of his yoga, Baba Ramdev said that her appreciation of him or yoga would not make him ignore what he considers her wrongdoings. He questioned whether he should overlook her statements simply because she praises him. Said youth has no caste Ramdev also said that youth cannot be defined by caste or community. He said young people come from different social backgrounds, including Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Dalits, tribal communities and SC-ST groups. According to him, today’s youth is a powerful force and its importance cannot be denied. What Kangana had said Kangana had recently shared an Instagram Story discussing the behaviour of young Hindu women. She said some women want to adopt the lifestyle of independent and career-oriented women but do not want to earn that freedom themselves. She said truly independent women make their own choices, express their views openly, choose careers beyond traditional paths and take responsibility for their decisions. She added that such women do not make these choices at the cost of their parents or families. Referring to what she described as a new generation of Western-minded Indian women, Kangana called them ‘Generation Gutter’, a remark that later drew criticism from Baba Ramdev.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Pushkar Activists Demand Transparency on Brahm Lok Corridor Plans</h2>
<p>Pushkar witnessed a strong demand for transparency today as the Corridor Struggle leader, Madhusudan Max Parashar, along with a significant group of residents, submitted a memorandum to Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) and Municipal Administrator, Mr. Guru Prasad Tanwar. The memorandum, addressed to the Chief Minister, calls for the immediate public release of the Detailed Project Report (DPR) and the layout plan for the proposed Brahm Lok Corridor.</p>
<p>Parashar voiced serious concerns, stating that the people of Pushkar have been kept in the dark regarding the Brahm Lok Corridor project. He highlighted that despite the DPR being reportedly ready, its layout plan has not yet been made public.</p>
<h3>Allegations of Deception and Withholding Information</h3>
<p>According to Parashar, there's a pattern of misleading the public, with statements and even DPRs allegedly being altered. He questioned why the complete draft of the corridor project remains undisclosed, wondering what information is being deliberately withheld from the public eye.</p>
<p>The leader emphasized their ongoing struggle, which has spanned over two and a half years. Their primary objective, he stated, is to protect the town from potential demolition and disruption caused by the project.</p>
<h3>Call for Pre-Election Disclosure</h3>
<p>The memorandum specifically demands that the layout plan be made public before the upcoming elections. This, they believe, will clarify the entire situation for the residents, ensuring they are fully aware of the project's implications.</p>
<p>Among those present during the submission were senior community members and youth, including Vinod Parashar, Pramod Parashar (Dadabhai), Hemant Gurjar, Mahesh Nayak, Arbaz Khan Leelsawari, Dinesh Gurjar, Samar Teji, Kishan Gharu, Govind Gharu, Shubham Gharu, Rahul Kumar, Arun Kumar, Raj Valmiki, Bobby, Pankaj, and Ramesh. Several NSUI workers and young Gen Z members also joined the group, showing broad community support for the cause.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Court Order Leads to Property Reclamation in Ajmer's Nawab ka Beda</h2>
<p>Ajmer witnessed a significant court-mandated operation today as a property in the city's Nawab ka Beda locality was successfully reclaimed by its rightful owner. The action followed a decisive court ruling, which sided with the property owner against a tenant allegedly involved in illegal activities on the premises.</p>
<p>A team comprising a court Nazir and police personnel was deployed to the site to oversee the peaceful execution of the eviction. The presence of the official contingent, particularly the Nazir, reportedly caused a stir in the area, leading to a brief period of commotion among local residents.</p>
<h2>Peaceful Handover Despite Initial Commotion</h2>
<p>Despite the initial flurry of activity, authorities managed the situation calmly and professionally. Efforts were made to reason with the occupant, ensuring a smooth transition. Employees were seen carefully removing the belongings from the house, clearing the way for the owner to regain possession.</p>
<p>The property was eventually handed over to the owner, marking the culmination of a legal battle. The court's judgment was a direct response to a series of complaints regarding the tenant's conduct.</p>
<h2>History of Alleged Immoral Activities</h2>
<p>Sources indicate that the tenant occupying the house had been repeatedly accused of conducting immoral activities within the property. This was not an isolated incident, as police had reportedly conducted several raids on the premises in the past, taking action against the tenant for various alleged wrongdoings.</p>
<p>The persistent nature of these issues ultimately led the property owner to seek legal recourse. The court, after reviewing the evidence and the history of incidents, ruled definitively in favor of the owner, paving the way for today's eviction and reclamation.</p>

<p>The campaign isn't just about identifying gifted individuals. The RMSK Council is focused on bringing forward talented youth, students, and citizens who possess the capability to showcase their skills on a larger stage, but often miss out due to a lack of proper opportunities or platforms.</p>
<h3>After Jaipur's Success, Programs Expand to Other Regions</h3>

These events are providing participants with excellent opportunities to display their unique abilities.</p>
<p>The organization firmly believes that everyone possesses some special skill or talent. All it takes is the right recognition and the perfect stage to bring it to light.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Rajasthan is a treasure trove of cultural heritage, renowned globally for its diverse folk arts, music, and dance forms, which have been nurtured by local talents for centuries.</div>
<h3>A Call for Public Participation</h3>
<p>The RMSK Council has issued a heartfelt appeal to students, youth, parents, and general citizens across the state. They encourage everyone to participate enthusiastically in this drive and seize the chance to showcase their talents and abilities to the world.</p>
<p>The council emphasized that this initiative isn't confined to any single class or region. It's a comprehensive effort aimed at recognizing and encouraging talent throughout every part of Rajasthan.</p>
<p>“Your talent is your identity—don’t hide it, showcase it to the world,” the RMSK Council stated, encapsulating the spirit of the campaign.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, the RMSK Council plans to organize similar programs in even more areas of the state. The goal is clear: to discover as many talents as possible and provide them with the right opportunities and encouragement.</p>

<p>Ajmer witnessed a distressing scene this morning as an Anganwadi centre remained locked, leaving young children and their parents stranded outside. The reason? The landlord refused to open the premises, citing five months of unpaid rent for the building.</p>
<p>Anganwadi workers arrived to commence the day's activities, only to find the gates shut. This immediate closure caused significant inconvenience, especially for the many parents who had brought their young ones for care and early learning. Faced with the locked centre, families had no choice but to return home with their children.</p>
<h2>Crucial Services Halted Amidst Soaring Temperatures</h2>
<p>The incident is particularly concerning given the prevailing severe heat. Asking small children to wait outdoors in such weather conditions is simply not feasible. Beyond basic care, Anganwadi centres play a pivotal role in community health.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Anganwadi centres, part of India's Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, provide supplementary nutrition, non-formal pre-school education, nutrition and health education, immunization, health check-up, and referral services for children under six and pregnant women.</div>
<p>The closure directly impacts crucial services like vaccination drives for infants and pregnant women, along with other essential nutritional support programs. The disruption could have serious implications for the health and well-being of the most vulnerable members of the community.</p>
<h2>Wider Concerns for Anganwadi Network</h2>
<p>Anganwadi employees are now raising serious alarms. They fear that if the government continues to delay rent payments, many more Anganwadi centres across the region could face similar closures. Such a scenario would cripple a vital network designed to support early childhood development and maternal health.</p>
<p>The situation in Ajmer highlights a critical administrative lapse that directly affects grassroots welfare initiatives. Swift action is needed to resolve the rent dispute and ensure these essential services resume without further delay.</p>

The actress recently posted engagement-themed photos on social media, where she was seen flaunting a diamond ring. Ayesha Khan shared the pictures on social media and wrote, "A dream."

At the same time, some social media users have compared the mystery man seen in the pictures to singer Karan Aujla. In the comments section, celebrities including Rakhi Sawant, Archana Gautam and Rashmi Desai congratulated Ayesha. Rashmi wrote, “I pray all your dreams come true,” while Archana also congratulated the actress. Has Ayesha Khan really got engaged? It is not yet clear whether Ayesha Khan has actually got engaged. The pictures could also be part of a jewellery brand promotion. Ayesha tagged a jewellery brand in her post and wrote, “Find your perfect diamond engagement ring here.” Bigg Boss wild card contestant who accused Munawar Faruqui of cheating Ayesha Khan gained wider recognition after entering Bigg Boss 17 as a wild card contestant. During her time on the show, she accused Munawar Faruqui of cheating on her. Ayesha claimed that Munawar had been in a relationship with her, but she later discovered that he was also involved with another woman. She also alleged that he had cheated on his ex-wife and claimed that he had been in relationships with several women at the same time. Her entry into the show led to considerable drama. Gained nationwide recognition with Dhurandhar’s ‘Shararat’ Ayesha appeared alongside Krystle D’Souza in the song Shararat from Dhurandhar. The song became a massive hit and helped Ayesha gain recognition across the country. It has reportedly received 810 million views on YouTube. Trolled after revealing she was on her period during song shoot In an interview with Pinkvilla, Ayesha spoke about the difficulties she faced while shooting Shararat. She said the shoot lasted two days and was extremely hectic. She also revealed that she was on her period during the shoot, which made it difficult for her to give her best performance as she was feeling bloated. Ayesha added that she wished she had been able to perform with her full energy. She said there was a lot of work to complete in just two days, leaving very little time to rest. She also said that the team was exhausted and their bodies were aching after extensive dancing. Following these comments, Ayesha faced trolling on social media. Ayesha spoke openly about dealing with online trolling Speaking at the Mojo Story summit, Ayesha said she regularly faces comments about her clothes and appearance on social media. She revealed that she receives sexual comments about her body on Instagram almost every day. Ayesha said that people often have a problem with whatever she wears, whether it is a normal top or a skirt. She added that she sometimes has to think twice before posting pictures because of how people may react. She also said that such comments can affect her emotionally. According to Ayesha, it is a sad situation when someone has to think about what to wear or whether to post a picture simply because others may view it in a sexual way. Detained during Cockroach Janta Party protest Ayesha Khan was also part of a Cockroach Janta Party protest, during which she was detained. A video of the incident later surfaced on social media, after which Ayesha received widespread praise.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Isha Koppikar recently released a video calling herself an 'andhbhakt' (blind devotee). After Isha's video surfaced, BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut agreed with her statement and supported her. Isha Koppikar, who joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2019, released a video from her official Instagram account saying, 'Namaste, I am Isha Koppikar, an andhbhakt. If loving one's country, loving India, and wishing for its progress is devotion, then yes, I am an andhbhakt. But my devotion is not for any political party; it is for my country.' She said that she can question the government and disagree with its policies. Despite this, she can love her country wholeheartedly. Isha further said, This country is my home, where I have earned my livelihood and continue to do so, and where I have continuously received opportunities. Therefore, I am not ashamed to be proud of my country. Wherever you are, learn to love that place, respect it, and contribute to it. Be proud of the home you have chosen. Finally, Isha said, 'There are two kinds of children. One who counts what their parents did and did not give. And the other who, with whatever they receive, make their own and their parents' lives better. The only difference is in the mindset. Why don't we also change our thinking? Instead of constantly thinking about what the country has given us, let's think about what we have done for the country.' Kangana Ranaut showed support Kangana re-shared this video of Isha Koppikar and wrote in praise, "Wow! It has been explained very well for me. In high school, I raised my voice against the teacher who used to hit children on the head with a stick. Raised my voice against the 26/11 terrorist attack. Raised my voice against the brutality committed against Nirbhaya. Never blamed my parents for any limitations that came my way, but rather achieved the same standard of living for myself that they had created for me." Kangana further wrote, "I find myself identifying with almost everyone I meet. I love my country, I love my people, and I live my life with the same simplicity." Kangana in controversy for calling students 'gutter-level', Baba Ramdev criticizes her Kangana had said about the students who arrived at the 'Cockroach Janata Party' protest at Jantar Mantar, 'I have never seen so much ugliness in one place in my life. These reels of Gen Z protests are nauseating. The way they talk and the kind of language they use... I have never seen everything so jarring and so vulgar in every single frame at once in my life. I call them Generation Gutter. Some of them have nothing to give to the system. They are not good at studies.' Baba Ramdev said- What is her qualification? Now, Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev has criticized Kangana. In a conversation with TV9 Bharatvarsh, Baba Ramdev reacted to Kangana's comment about Gen Z, saying, "What is her qualification? How was her childhood? How was her youth? What were her past deeds? I don't want to talk about such people. To call any youth of this country, Gen Z, 'gutter-patter' (nonsense), is a sign of a deranged mind. It's wrong. Her party members should take cognizance of this." When asked if she has been an admirer of his yoga, Baba Ramdev said, "If she praises me, praises yoga, should I then cover up her sins here?" Baba Ramdev also said that youth has no caste. Youth includes everyone. It includes children of Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Dalits, tribals-forest dwellers, SC-ST, children of everyone. Today, youth is a very big power in itself, no one can deny it. Kangana had clarified her 'gutter-level' statement After the controversy over the statement escalated, Kangana said that she had not called the youth of the entire country 'gutter-dwellers'. Her statement was about a particular 'breed' present at the protest at Jantar Mantar. Only about 10,000 people had gathered at the protest at Jantar Mantar, whereas the youth population in the country is 30 to 35 crore. In such a situation, it is not right to associate the entire Gen Z with that protest. People of all ages were roaming around Jantar Mantar. More than half the crowd was of Shabana Azmi's age. So, on what basis is this being called a protest by the Gen Z of the entire country? Read this news related to Kangana Ranaut also..

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha recently stated that the BJP's IT cell is behind the online trolling of his daughter, Sonakshi Sinha. In an interview with ABP News, he was asked about Sonakshi's outspokenness on social and political issues. To this, Sinha said that Sonakshi is an intelligent girl and she knows when and on what issue to express her views. During the interview, Shatrughan Sinha was asked that Sonakshi was accused of openly expressing her opinion on the CJP's Jantar Mantar protest, but she appeared silent in the recent case related to students in Jharkhand. To this, Shatrughan Sinha said that just a few days ago, Sonakshi had given very strong, very vocal, and very strong support in favor of the children of Jharkhand. Also reacted to Sonakshi entering politics When asked about Sonakshi entering politics in the future, Shatrughan Sinha said that he couldn't say, but he further added that Sonakshi is the most worthy daughter of a worthy father. Shatrughan Sinha also claimed that the social media trolling against Sonakshi is done by paid trolls. He alleged that some people associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party and its IT cell target opponents through such trolls. He said that many times such trolls themselves don't know what to write. According to him, they are given ready content or a draft and they post it on social media. Citing old social media trends, Shatrughan Sinha claimed that even before, tweets from many film stars and people associated with sports looked similar. He said that many times their words, punctuation, and even dot-commas were identical. He said that Sonakshi does not take these trolls too seriously. According to Shatrughan, Sonakshi has also said that she doesn't even look at trolling. It is to be noted that Sonakshi had made several posts at Jantar Mantar in support of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). The actress had also expressed support for the student protests in Jharkhand. Students in Ranchi were demanding an independent investigation into alleged irregularities in JPSC and JSSC examinations and reforms in the recruitment process. Then Sonakshi wrote on her Instagram story, It is sad to see the students of our country troubled like this. When will this stop?

<content:encoded><![CDATA[To her television audiences, she is still Tulsi Virani, the iconic face of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. To the nation, she is one of the BJP's influential leaders. From ruling prime-time television to shaping national politics, Smriti Irani’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Now, she has been given another major role as the BJP’s newly appointed National General Secretary. Soon after the news broke, her fans and political observers alike are asking a question: "How will TV's most beloved bahu balance her iconic legacy as Tulsi with her growing political duties? While some are saying that she will quit the show and new actors are going to come in the show and story plot may get changed. While speculation grows, Smriti Irani and her team have remained silent on whether she plans to quit TV or find a way to manage both roles. Interestingly, Irani had already made a dramatic return to acting after nearly two decades away from television. She reprised her iconic role as Tulsi Virani in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, which began airing in July 2025. The comeback brought back one of the most recognisable faces of Indian television to the screen. Smriti began her career with modelling Born on 23 March 1976, Smriti Irani started her career in the entertainment industry. Before becoming a television star, she worked as a model and appeared in beauty pageants. She also featured in music videos and took up acting roles as she tried to establish herself in television. Her breakthrough came in 2000 when she was cast as Tulsi Virani in Ekta Kapoor’s Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The show became a television phenomenon, and Tulsi became one of the most popular characters on Indian television. Tulsi made Smriti a household name The popularity of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi was extraordinary. The show remained at the top of television ratings for years, with reports noting that it maintained double-digit TRPs for seven consecutive years. It also won several awards, while Irani received major recognition for playing Tulsi. For viewers, Smriti Irani and Tulsi became almost inseparable. Her character represented the strong, emotional, and traditional Indian daughter-in-law, while the show’s family conflicts became a regular part of television conversations. Irani eventually stepped away from acting as her political career took centre stage. Highest-paid actress of her time She emerged as one of the highest-paid TV actresses, a household name whose saree-clad grace and quiet strength resonated across generations. Fans still recall how entire neighbourhoods paused for the 9 pm slot. She resumed acting even after her miscarriage Though success came, it was not easy. Her famous role of ‘Bahu’ boosted her from a struggling actor to celebrity, but the journey involved grueling shoots. She once revealed being asked to resume filming just a day after a miscarriage, highlighting the industry’s demands. Yet these experiences forged her grit. Her personal struggles, shared candidly in interviews, reveal a woman who refused victimhood. Smriti drew strength from chaos. “I have never given validation from another human being that much importance,” she said, emphasising self-belief. Lost Amethi in 2014 elections Irani joined the Bharatiya Janata Party and gradually rose through its ranks. She became actively involved in the party organisation and later served as a Rajya Sabha MP. Her biggest political breakthrough came in the 2014 Lok Sabha election, when she contested against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Amethi. Although she lost that election, she remained a prominent BJP leader. Five years later, she returned to Amethi and defeated Gandhi in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, a victory that established her as one of the BJP’s most prominent leaders. She subsequently served as a Union minister, handling important portfolios including Women and Child Development and Textiles. ‘Entering politics early in her career was 'detrimental’ In Soha Ali Khan's show All About Her, Smriti revealed the challenges and sacrifices she faced. She candidly stated that entering politics early in her career was "detrimental," requiring significantly more effort than she initially anticipated. She dispelled the notion that actors turn to politics as a last resort, emphasising that her entry was a deliberate early choice. Then Tulsi returned after nearly 20 years After losing the Amethi Lok Sabha election again in 2024 and spending years away from acting, Irani surprised fans by returning as Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 in 2025. Her return became one of the biggest nostalgia moments on Indian television. The new series brought back several familiar faces and continued the Virani family story while introducing new characters and conflicts. Irani’s return also proved that the Tulsi character still had a strong emotional connection with audiences. Will politics now affect her TV comeback? At present, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is still in production and continues to feature Irani as Tulsi. However, her expanded political responsibilities have already triggered speculation within the television industry about whether she can continue with the same schedule. Reports suggest that the show’s production is continuing for now, but her new role has raised questions about how long she can balance both commitments. For fans, the biggest question is still: Will Tulsi continue to rule the Virani family, while Smriti Irani takes on an even bigger role in the BJP?]]> </content:encoded>

<p>The full scope and specifics of the case are expected to become clear only after the Income Tax Department concludes its complete investigation.</p>

<p>The core objective of the PM e-Bus Seva is to facilitate the operation of electric buses in cities through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. This strategy is designed to curb pollution levels and lessen the country's dependence on fossil fuels, fostering an environmentally friendlier public transportation system.</p>
<h2>Rajasthan's Green Transit Expansion</h2>
<p>Across Rajasthan, the e-bus service is being implemented in several key cities. Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Udaipur, Kota, Alwar, and Bhilwara are already part of this green transit expansion, with Ajmer now joining the list.</p>
<p>For Ajmer specifically, the plan is ambitious: a total of 100 e-buses are slated for operation. In this initial phase, the city has received five 9-meter long, air-conditioned electric buses. Each bus boasts a comfortable 26-seater capacity, ready to serve the local populace.</p>
<h2>Advanced Features for Enhanced Passenger Experience</h2>
<p>These new e-buses are equipped with a suite of modern features designed for passenger comfort and safety. Automatic gates streamline the boarding and alighting process, and for the first time, a wheelchair lift has been installed. This crucial addition ensures that differently-abled individuals and senior citizens can travel with ease and dignity.</p>
<p>Passenger safety remains a top priority. Every bus is fitted with CCTV cameras for continuous surveillance, along with a fire safety system and emergency buttons to address any unforeseen incidents promptly.</p>
<h2>Infrastructure and Operations</h2>
<p>To support this new fleet, a dedicated charging station and bus depot have been established at Nosar Ghati. This facility, developed at a cost of Rs. 15.00 crore, is vital for the smooth and efficient operation of the electric buses.</p>
<p>Fares for the e-bus service will be determined based on the distance traveled (kilometres). The responsibility for the operation and maintenance of these e-buses has been entrusted to CESL Mobility, a specialized firm.</p>
<h2>Initial Routes for Ajmer's First Five E-Buses</h2>
<p>The first five e-buses will operate on the following routes, enhancing connectivity across Ajmer and its surrounding areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ajmer Bus Stand to Pushkar Bus Stand via Hokra</li>
<li>Gandhi Bhawan to Tantoti via Nasirabad</li>
<li>Makadwali Chauraha to Srinagar via Badhlaya</li>
<li>Varun Sagar to Dorai via Subhash Nagar</li>
<li>Ajmer Nosar Ghati to Kishangarh via MDS University Tiraha</li>
</ul>
<p>This launch marks a significant step for Ajmer in adopting modern, eco-friendly public transport solutions. Stay tuned to MTTV India News for the latest developments on this project.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Two snakes were spotted on the lawn of Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic bungalow, Mannat, in Mumbai on 17 August. A rescue team was called in immediately as a precaution. One of the snakes was safely rescued, while the second could not be found and is believed to be somewhere inside the property. According to a Hindustan Times report, a snake rescuer was alerted at around 8 pm on Monday after two snakes were spotted at Mannat. A search operation was then launched across the bungalow premises, during which one snake was found and safely captured. The rescued snake was around 8 feet long and was identified as a Dhaman, or Indian rat snake. The species is non-venomous. The snake was reportedly found hiding beneath a staircase on the property. Second snake still missing after search The rescue operation could not locate the second snake. According to reports, it escaped when people began moving around the premises. The search continued until late evening, but the snake could not be found. Staff relieved after learning the snake was non-venomous Mannat’s security guards and staff were reportedly relieved after learning that the rescued snake was non-venomous. The bungalow is officially known as Mannat Lands End and is located in the Bandstand area of Bandra, Mumbai. The sea-facing property has become one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, with fans regularly gathering outside hoping to see Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh is currently not staying at Mannat Shah Rukh Khan and his family are currently staying in a luxury apartment in Bandra as renovation work continues at Mannat. According to reports, the family is living at Pooja Casa, a four-storey luxury apartment in Pali Hill, Bandra, at a reported monthly rent of ₹24 lakh. They are expected to stay there for around two years. The apartment was built by film producer Vashu Bhagnani. Ownership of the property is reportedly with his son Jackky Bhagnani and daughter Deepshikha Deshmukh. Shah Rukh bought Mannat before he could afford its full price Shah Rukh Khan first saw the bungalow in 1997, while shooting for Yes Boss. The sea-facing property immediately caught his attention, but buying it was a major financial challenge. In 2001, when he got the opportunity to purchase the house, Shah Rukh decided to go ahead despite not having enough money to pay the full price. According to an account by his close associate Shabina Khan in The SRK Story, Shah Rukh had around ₹2 crore when he bought the property, while the bungalow reportedly cost around ₹30 crore. He took a loan to cover the remaining amount. Gauri designed the interiors of Mannat After buying the bungalow, Shah Rukh faced another challenge — its interiors. He approached an interior designer, but the designer’s fee was reportedly too high. Shah Rukh then asked his wife, Gauri Khan, to take charge of the interiors. Gauri accepted the challenge and designed the home herself. Over the years, Mannat has become one of the most famous celebrity homes in India and is now reportedly worth more than ₹200 crore. Shah Rukh will next be seen in ‘King’ Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his next film, King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the action thriller is scheduled to release in theatres on 24 December 2026. The film also stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, Raghav Juyal and Rani Mukerji in important roles.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The wedding bells are reportedly set to ring for Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran and music composer Anirudh Ravichander. As per reports, they are set to tie the knot in Greece in the month of November. This is not the first time that there have been rumours about their wedding. It has to be noted that there has been no official confirmation from either of them about these rumours. Kavya, Anirudh may marry in November As per a report by notable film commentator Christopher Kanagaraj, the two are set to have a destination wedding in Greece, with the date reported to be 10 November. Once again, there have been no exact details of the reported wedding between the rumoured couple. Anirudh's uncle teases his wedding with Kavya Earlier this year, Anirudh's uncle and veteran actor Y Gee Mahendra had appeared to confirm the much-talked-about wedding. "I would like to take this moment to congratulate him. He is getting into a very big wedding. Based on what I’ve been told, it’s a sure thing. They are getting married," he said, while speaking in an interview with KPTV. He had also praised Kavya, saying that she was not an 'ordinary girl'. That girl is not just another ordinary girl. She has the capacity to handle such a big team," he said. Mahendra had also made a request to the two. "Both of them should get together and indulge in musical business," he said. Anirudh had refuted marriage rumours in 2025 This is not the first time that wedding rumours on the two have surfaced. In 2025, a post on social media platform Reddit did the rounds that claimed the two to have been dating for a year and would marry. Anirudh had then taken to X to quash those rumours, with a simple tweet. Marriage ah? lol... Chill out guys. Please stop spreading rumours," he wrote on the micro-blogging platform. Who are Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran? Anirudh is a hit music composer who has had extensive work in the South Indian film industry, namely Tamil and Telugu cinema. He composed the viral song 'Why this Kolaveri Di' in 2012 and was the music composer for Jawan, his Bollywood debut. Being the owner of the Sunrisers group, Kavya is a regular presence in franchise cricket tournaments of which her team is part. She owns the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, the Sunrisers Eastern Cape team in South Africa's SA20 and the Sunrisers Leeds team in England's The Hundred.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Did, Sohail, Khan, take, weight-loss, drug:Actor, reveals, the, real, reason, behind, it, had, shared, about, childhood, sexual, abuse, and, separation</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Everyone seemed concerned and was asking the same question after seeing Sohail Khan in The Alliance: What has happened to Sohail Khan? His noticeably slimmer appearance became a talking point online, with people speculating about his health and even wondering whether he had taken weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic or fat burners. Now, after coming out of the reality show, Sohail has addressed the speculation. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Sohail dismissed all these claims. He stated that due to an upset stomach and deteriorating health during the show, he controlled his diet, which resulted in a weight loss of about 12 kg. He explained that his physical transformation was linked to his experience on the show, where he also faced health problems and struggled to adjust to life inside the house. Sohail says he was initially claustrophobic Speaking about his experience, Sohail revealed that he felt “a bit claustrophobic” during the first few days of the show. He also developed a stomach infection during the first week. Despite being unwell, he continued his journey for around five weeks. He said the love and concern shown by the other contestants helped him stay on the show. The health setback also made him more careful about his food and fitness. What is claustrophobia? Claustrophobia is an intense fear or feeling of anxiety in enclosed or confined spaces. People experiencing it may feel trapped, uncomfortable, breathless, or panicked in places such as lifts, small rooms, or crowded spaces. It is different from simply disliking a small space. In the very first week of entering the house, his stomach problems increased, which caused a lot of trouble. Despite his ill health, the other contestants of the show took great care of him and supported him. This is why he was able to stay on the show for five weeks. Sohail takes responsibility for his separation from Seema The reality show also saw Sohail speaking openly about his separation from his ex-wife Seema Sajdeh. He reportedly took responsibility for the breakdown of their marriage and said that his own behaviour played a role. Sohail and Seema married in 1998 and filed for divorce in May 2022, after 24 years of marriage. They have two sons, Nirvaan and Yohan, and continue to co-parent them. Sohail has previously spoken about maintaining a cordial relationship with Seema for the sake of their children. He has said that both sons live with him and Seema visits them regularly. Seema Sajdeh joins the show as a wildcard Sohail's ex-wife Seema Sajdeh has also entered Alliance as a wildcard contestant. Since her arrival, viewers have seen the former couple share a warm and respectful bond. Sohail and Seema's sons have remained their priority Despite their separation, Sohail and Seema have continued to focus on their two sons. Nirvaan was born in 2000, while Yohan was born in 2011. Their relationship has changed from marriage to co-parenting, but both have repeatedly maintained that their children remain the most important part of their family. Salman Khan’s entry instantly lifted Sohail’s mood Salman Khan's appearance on the show was particularly special for Sohail. The actor has shared a close bond with his elder brother since childhood, and seeing Salman gave him an immediate boost of energy. Salman specifically defended Sohail after Sohail took full responsibility for the breakdown of his marriage with Seema Sajdeh. Salman said that his “dear and noble brother” had taken all the blame upon himself, but he knew how hard Sohail had tried to save the marriage. Salman said Sohail kept trying for the sake of his family and that the situation had deeply affected him. Salman's presence also became emotional for Sohail because of the affection and understanding they share as brothers. During his appearance, Salman spoke about Sohail's weight loss and revealed that he had already lost around 12 kg. Sohail denies Ozempic and fat burners Sohail has now directly rejected speculation that medication or supplements were responsible for his transformation. He said he was not taking Ozempic or fat-burning supplements, and instead credited the love and affection he received from people around him. Amisha Patel’s brother slams trolls to stop mocking Sohail Sohail's drastic transformation also attracted online trolling. Actor Ashmit Patel came to his defence and criticised people for making fun of his looks and age. He questioned whether those trolling Sohail did not have ageing parents at home and urged people to show greater respect. Faced sexual abuse in childhood, kept the trauma to himself for years Sohail had also revealed that he was sexually abused during his childhood, but kept the experience to himself for several years. He opened up about it during the reality show Alliance. Sohail's team recently secured the top spot on the leaderboard. During a conversation with fellow contestants Arslan Goni, Ruhi Dosani and Ali Goni, he spoke about his childhood trauma while discussing the impact of ragging and abuse. Recalling the incident, Sohail said, "When I was a child, someone sexually abused me, and I carried that pain in silence for years." He revealed that he only spoke about it after growing up, when he finally told his father. According to Sohail, his father asked why he had stayed silent for so long.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Somy, Ali, supports, Govinda, amid, Sunita’s, sugar, daddy, remark:Says, He, working, hard, earn, living, defends, actor, working, with, younger, co-star</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Govinda has been in the news following comments made by his wife, Sunita Ahuja, about his recent appearances with his younger co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar. Sunita had questioned why Govinda was spending time with a girl who was around the age of his daughter and also made remarks about her appearance and alleged relationship with the actor. Now, Govinda’s former co-star Somy Ali has come out in his support. Sharing old pictures with the actor, Somy said that age should not become a reason to question an actor’s professional choices. Somy Ali says talent has no age Somy described Govinda as one of the most talented and humble actors she worked with during her time in the Hindi film industry. She said she has great respect for both Govinda and Sunita. She added that an actor working with a younger actress should not be seen as age discrimination. According to Somy, “Talent has no age,” and an actor’s ability should not be judged by their age or the age of their co-star.
 Somy also said that when an artist gets an opportunity to work at a time when finding work can be difficult, that opportunity should be respected rather than mocked. “Just because someone is old, their age should not be used as a weapon against them, especially when they are trying to earn a living and continue doing the work they love,” she said. Govinda tells Sunita to ‘stay within limits’ The controversy began after Sunita made remarks about Govinda being seen with Komal Rani Swarnkar, his co-star in his upcoming comeback film Roopa. Sunita had said that Govinda was “roaming around with a girl the age of his daughter” and suggested that he should be ashamed of it. She also referred to the younger actress in connection with the term “sugar daddy” and criticised her dressing style. Govinda later responded to these comments and asked Sunita to stay within limits. Defending his co-star, he said that younger actors and actresses have worked with established stars for years and that such collaborations can also help actors appear youthful. He also criticised the way Sunita had spoken about people from less privileged backgrounds. Govinda said that having fame, wealth and respect does not give anyone the right to humiliate people who have less. Govinda objects to Sunita’s language Govinda also expressed disappointment over the language Sunita had allegedly been using while speaking about him and others. He said that Sunita had started using abusive language involving family members and questioned what would happen if others began following the same example. He said such comments could make people ashamed and that he did not expect this from her. Why was Sunita upset with Komal? Govinda was recently spotted with Komal at the airport. Sunita had earlier spoken about the rumours surrounding Govinda and said that hearing such things about her husband at the age of 63 was not appropriate. In an interview with Miss Malini, she also said that she disliked the name Komal and made it clear that she was unhappy about the situation. Govinda, meanwhile, has defended Komal and praised her acting abilities. At a press conference for Roopa in July, he introduced her to the media and said that audiences would appreciate her performance after watching the film. Govinda is making a comeback after seven years Govinda is reportedly making his Bollywood comeback after a seven-year break with Roopa. Komal is also being introduced through the project, which is being backed by Govinda’s production house. There are also reports that she could appear with him in another film, Duniyadari. Govinda has also responded to questions about his relationship with Sunita. Speaking to ANI, he said that Sunita may make strong comments about him, but he still respects her and believes that both of them have played an important role in each other’s lives. He also questioned whether making allegations is necessary to create distance between two people, saying that people often consider it an easy way out. Govinda and Sunita married in 1987 Govinda and Sunita Ahuja got married in a private ceremony in 1987. At the time, Govinda was already a successful Bollywood actor. The couple kept their marriage private for nearly two years because of Govinda’s career. They later made their relationship public after the birth of their daughter, Tina Ahuja. They also have a son, Yashvardhan Ahuja. Govinda was spotted with a co-actress
Govinda was recently spotted for the second time at the airport with actress Komal Rani Swarnakar. It is worth noting that Sunita had said some time ago that she hates the name Komal. In an interview with Miss Malini, Sunita spoke about Govinda's affair rumours, saying that mistakes happen in youth, but hearing all this at the age of 63 is not right. Sunita had said, 'This name is a bit problematic. I hate the name Komal. There's one Komal, X Y Z, whoever it is. I hate her.' Speaking to ANI about Sunita's allegations of an affair, Govinda said, She abuses me very lovingly, and I even eat from her hands. I believe that if the people who are where they are, and whatever role God has given them, were not there, we couldn't have succeeded.  Govinda said - It's not necessary to make allegations to create distance Govinda hinted that Sunita gained stardom after speaking openly about him. He said, There are many things that are not expressed. Is it necessary to make allegations to create distance? But people believe it's an easy way out. Govinda and Sunita got married in 1987 Govinda and Sunita Ahuja got married in a private ceremony in 1987. At that time, Govinda had already become a Bollywood star. For Govinda's career, both kept their marriage a secret for about two years. They made their marriage public after the birth of their daughter Tina Ahuja. After this, their son Yashvardhan Ahuja was born.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress Hayden Panettiere, best known for Heroes, Nashville, and the Scream franchise, died on 16 August 2026 at the age of 36, according to her representative. The cause of death has not been disclosed. Just months before her death, Panettiere spoke openly about some of the most difficult periods of her life in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, published on 19 May 2026.  The book explored her childhood fame, trauma, postpartum depression, addiction, abusive relationships, grief, and recovery. A traumatic experience after daughter Kaya’s birth Panettiere welcomed her daughter, Kaya, with former fiancé and Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko in December 2014. In her memoir, she described the birth as extremely difficult. She recalled undergoing an emergency C-section after serious complications and later struggling emotionally after becoming a mother. She wrote that she did not experience the immediate rush of love she had expected after seeing her newborn. Instead, she found bonding with Kaya difficult and felt overwhelmed by the situation. Panettiere later received professional treatment and was diagnosed with postpartum depression. She also spoke about how little she knew about the condition at the time and wished more people had told her that such feelings could happen after childbirth. Alcohol became a way of coping According to PEOPLE and ABC News, the actress also opened up about her struggle with alcohol addiction. She explained that drinking initially felt like a way to deal with her emotional pain, but eventually made her problems worse. Her dependence became particularly severe while she was working on Nashville. At the time, her character Juliette Barnes was also dealing with addiction and postpartum depression. Panettiere wrote that the storyline felt like a distorted reflection of her own life. She sought treatment and spoke about recovery Panettiere entered treatment when Kaya was just four months old and continued working towards recovery. Her memoir also described her struggles with prescription medication and the impact addiction had on her personal life and motherhood. In the months before her death, Panettiere continued speaking publicly about her experiences. During her memoir tour, she said she hoped sharing her story would help others facing similar struggles and offer them some comfort.]]> </content:encoded>

<h2>Security Questions Arise Amidst Public Disturbance</h2>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer GRP Police Nab Chain Snatchers After CCTV Breakthrough</h2>
<p>Ajmer's Government Railway Police (GRP) have made a significant breakthrough against a gang notorious for targeting women amidst the bustling railway station crowds. Police recently arrested two women, who were absconding in a chain snatching case, from Madhya Pradesh's Guna jail after securing a production warrant.</p>
<p>The arrested individuals have been identified as Sapna, wife of Deva Bhaat, and Varsha alias Kamlesh Bhaat. This operation follows an earlier arrest in the same case, where another woman named Arkita was taken into custody.</p>
<h2>The Incident That Sparked the Hunt</h2>
<p>GRP Station House Officer Indu shared details, explaining that the case stems from a report filed on May 14, 2026, by a victim named Shyam Lal. He informed the GRP station that his sister, Radha, was boarding a train from Ajmer bound for Chennai when her gold chain was snatched from her neck amid a heavy crowd on the platform. Despite immediate efforts, the perpetrator vanished without a trace.</p>
<h2>CCTV Footage Proves Crucial</h2>
<p>Following the complaint, Ajmer GRP police launched an extensive investigation. They meticulously scanned CCTV footage from across the station premises, which proved instrumental in identifying the suspicious women involved. The probe revealed that three female accused were part of the snatching operation.</p>
<p>With one accused already in custody, the GRP moved swiftly to bring the remaining two to justice. They were transported to Ajmer from Guna, Madhya Pradesh, on a production warrant.</p>
<h2>Custody Remand and Ongoing Investigation</h2>
<p>On Monday, the GRP police presented both accused before the court, which subsequently granted their police custody remand. Investigators are now interrogating Sapna and Varsha to uncover details about other potential chain snatching incidents and to map out the full extent of their gang's network.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Indian dialogue writer and lyricist Javed Akhtar has criticised Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari over his recent statement about Hindus living in Pakistan. Zardari had said that Pakistan ‘tolerates’ its Hindu population. Calling the remark insensitive, Akhtar also responded to people who criticised him for speaking out. Zardari says ‘we tolerate Hindus’ Zardari made the remarks on 14 August while comparing the situation of Hindus in Pakistan and India. He said that Indians have a different perspective and believe in the idea of ‘Akhand Bharat’ (Undivided India), but claimed that there were several aspects of history that they had forgotten. He further said, “We are Muslims and they are not. But we are Muslims with such a mindset who tolerate the 3-4 percent Hindu population in Pakistan.” He added that Hindus in Pakistan were free and could live as they wished. Javed Akhtar takes a dig at Zardari Reacting to the statement on social media, Akhtar criticised Zardari and referred to his past as the husband of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Akhtar wrote that Zardari, who came into the spotlight after marrying Bhutto, had spoken about ‘tolerating’ the 3-4 percent Hindu population in Pakistan. He then took a subtle dig at Zardari by referring to the number 10. Why did Javed Akhtar mention ‘10 percent’? Akhtar’s reference to 10 percent was a dig at Zardari’s old nickname, ‘Mr Ten Percent’. The nickname became associated with allegations that Zardari demanded a 10 percent commission in government projects and business deals during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Zardari denied the allegations. The nickname gained further attention after the government led by Benazir Bhutto was dismissed by then-President Ghulam Ishaq Khan in 1990. Akhtar hits back at a Pakistani troll While several people praised Akhtar for his response, some social media users criticised him and questioned whether he had ever spoken up for minorities in India. One Pakistani user accused Akhtar of ignoring the problems faced by non-Hindus in India and criticised him personally.  Akhtar responded sharply, saying that the user's first question showed how little they knew about him, while the final part of the comment showed ‘what your class is’. Akhtar has criticised Pakistan before This is not the first time Akhtar has made strong remarks about Pakistan. ‘I will choose hell over Pakistan’: On 17 May 2025, at the launch of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut's book Narkatla Swarg in Mumbai, Akhtar made a strong statement about Pakistan. He said that if he had to choose between Pakistan and hell, he would choose hell. ‘Partition of India was wrong’: In 2023, while attending the Faiz Festival in Lahore, Akhtar said that the Partition of India was a historical mistake. He noted that Pakistan had been part of undivided India before 1947 and said people on both sides shared deep cultural roots. His remarks were applauded by some members of the Pakistani audience but also sparked controversy in the media in both countries. ‘Secularism is almost dead in Pakistan’: Akhtar has also criticised the state of secularism in Pakistan. During a discussion on India-Pakistan relations, he said that secularism had become largely symbolic and that religious fundamentalism had gained influence. He cited the condition of minorities as one reason for his concerns.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Shaktimaan actor Mukesh Khanna has called for the removal of India’s national anthem, Jana Gana Mana, and said that Vande Mataram should take its place. However, while making the statement, he made several errors about India’s national song and national anthem. In a recent statement to IANS, Khanna said, “I said three years ago that Vande Mataram should be made the national song.” However, Vande Mataram is already India’s national song. He also referred to Jana Gana Mana as “Jana Mana Gana” and made claims about its history. Khanna further said that Jana Gana Mana was written by Rabindranath Tagore in honour of Queen Elizabeth and questioned the words “Punjab Sindh”. He said that Vande Mataram, sung by Lata Mangeshkar, was the song that truly represented India. Khanna says Vande Mataram should replace Jana Gana Mana Khanna went on to say, “As soon as possible, remove this Jana Gana Mana and bring Vande Mataram.” He also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had started a movement around Vande Mataram and claimed that it had become mandatory for every school to sing it first. He said that all seven stanzas should be sung instead of only three or four. Khanna also revealed that he is working on his own song, which he plans to release within six months. Government issues guidelines on national anthem and national song The central government has issued new guidelines to all states, Union Territories and central ministries regarding Jana Gana Mana and Vande Mataram. The Ministry has clarified that existing rules already specify which programmes require the national anthem and national song to be sung or played. According to the guidelines, when both are part of the same programme, Vande Mataram will be played first, followed by Jana Gana Mana. States that have their own state song will also have to follow the prescribed sequence. A letter containing the guidelines was sent to all states and ministries on 9 July, with details becoming public on Friday. The government has also asked that both songs be performed using their original words, correct pronunciation and the prescribed rules. Official copies have been uploaded on the Ministry’s website. Earlier order issued on 28 January The government had issued similar instructions to all states on 28 January. Under the earlier guidelines, the national song was to be played at the beginning of the day in schools. Students are required to stand while Vande Mataram is being played or sung. The guidelines state that all six stanzas should be sung, with the complete version lasting around 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Earlier, schools generally sang only the first two stanzas. Cinema halls, however, have been kept outside these rules. This means audiences are not required to stand or sing Vande Mataram before a film begins. If the song is played as part of a newsreel or documentary, viewers are also not required to stand. Bankim Chandra wrote Vande Mataram in 1875 Vande Mataram, India’s national song, was written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee on 7 November 1875, on the occasion of Akshaya Navami. It was later published in 1882 in his magazine Bangadarshan as part of his novel Anandamath. In 1896, Rabindranath Tagore sang Vande Mataram at the Indian National Congress session. It was the first time the song was publicly performed at a national-level gathering. The performance moved many people in the audience. The phrase Vande Mataram is derived from Sanskrit and means “O Mother, I bow to thee”. During India’s freedom struggle, the song became a powerful slogan for those fighting against British colonial rule.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken action against Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Tiger Shroff regarding the advertisement for Vimal Elaichi. All three have been issued show cause notices. The FDA alleges that through the 'Vimal Elaichi' advertisement, indirect promotion of 'Vimal Pan Masala', which is banned in the state, is being carried out. Following this case, old statements by artists regarding the promotion of products harmful to health have come back into discussion. Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn have previously stated that if a product is harmful to health, the government should ban its manufacturing and sale altogether. Shah Rukh had said - Don't stop my earnings
In an old interview given to CNN-IBN, Shah Rukh Khan was asked that the Health Minister has appealed to celebrities not to advertise products like soft drinks, because children start drinking them after seeing them. On this, Shah Rukh had said that if cigarettes or soft drinks are bad, then the government should stop their sale and production in the country itself. Government gets revenue, then why stop my earnings
Shah Rukh Khan had argued in his response that the government doesn't ban such products because they are a source of revenue for the government. Shah Rukh had said that when the government is not stopping production for its revenue, then his earnings should also not be stopped. He said that he is an actor and earning by working is his profession. If something is really wrong, then its production itself should be stopped. Ajay Devgn said- I only promote cardamom
In the year 2022 also, when the controversy over such advertisements increased, actor Ajay Devgn had put forth his side. Ajay had said that he only advertises 'cardamom' and denied allegations of surrogate advertising. He had said that using any product depends on a person's personal choice. Ajay also agreed with Shah Rukh Khan's statement and said that if any product is harmful, then first its production should be banned.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA['Bigg Boss 13' fame Himanshi Khurana has made a big revelation years later about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Asim Riaz. In Paras Chhabra's podcast, Himanshi claimed that at one point, she was very close to converting to Islam under Asim's pressure. She revealed that during the relationship, objections were raised regarding her worship and religious beliefs. According to Himanshi, the mental pressure increased so much that one night she felt it might be the last day of her life. She had also expressed a desire to undertake the Char Dham Yatra before changing her religion. Breakup with Asim Riaz over religion Himanshi and Asim met during Bigg Boss 13 and later began a relationship that lasted around four years. In December 2023, the couple announced their separation, saying that their different religious beliefs had become a reason for their decision. Himanshi has now spoken in greater detail about the emotional conflict she experienced during that period. She said her former partner had explained the positive aspects of his religion to her, but accepting it was not something she was comfortable with. She clarified that he had never mistreated her and that the conflict was about her own beliefs and identity. She felt she was betraying her faith Himanshi revealed that the situation made her question her own faith. She said she felt that changing or giving up her religious practices would mean betraying her God. She eventually turned towards spirituality and pilgrimages while trying to find clarity. She spoke about visiting religious places, including the Kinnaur Kailash Yatra, and said the experience helped her understand what she wanted. Bitter feud with Shehnaaz Gill Before Bigg Boss 13, Himanshi and Shehnaaz Gill already had a strained relationship. The dispute reportedly began after Shehnaaz criticised Himanshi's song ‘I Like It’. Himanshi later alleged that Shehnaaz had body-shamed her and made comments involving her family. Their rivalry became one of the most discussed personal clashes of Bigg Boss 13 when Himanshi entered the show as a wild-card contestant. Controversy moved inside Bigg Boss Their rivalry became more intense after Himanshi entered into the Bigg Boss house. The two frequently discussed their past differences, while their respective supporters also became involved in the dispute. Himanshi later claimed that the controversy had affected her personal life and accused the show of presenting her in a negative light. These claims became another talking point among fans of the two contestants. Asim's tweet sparked another controversy In 2021, Himanshi was again dragged into the Shehnaaz controversy after Asim posted a cryptic tweet about people moving on quickly after losing loved ones. Many social media users interpreted it as a reference to Shehnaaz, who had been seen at a wedding following Sidharth Shukla's death. Shehnaaz's fans criticised Asim, while Himanshi defended him and questioned the reaction to the post. Asim later clarified his tweet. Farmers' protest brought another clash Himanshi also made headlines for her outspoken support for the farmers' protests in 2020. She criticised Kangana Ranaut over her comments about the farmers and accused her of presenting the issue from the wrong angle. The exchange became another social media controversy involving Himanshi. Called Bigg Boss 13 ‘cursed’ In 2025, Himanshi attracted attention after describing Bigg Boss 13 as “cursed” while reflecting on the difficult experiences associated with several contestants. Her comments came after the death of former contestant Shefali Jariwala and amid discussions about the deaths, breakups and personal struggles faced by people associated with the season.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Police Bust Ancient Treasure Theft Ring Near Nasirabad</h2>
<p>The Sadar police in Nasirabad have made a significant breakthrough, arresting seven individuals in connection with the theft of ancient treasure unearthed during soil excavation in a private field near Bithoor's border about two months ago. Authorities have recovered a substantial haul, including approximately 700 grams of gold, 310 grams of silver, around 2.5 kilograms of copper rods and wires, two ancient conch shells, and ₹17,44,500 in cash—the proceeds from selling some of the stolen items. The total value of the recovered material is estimated to be around ₹1.25 crore.</p>
<p>According to Sadar Police Station Officer Radheshyam Chaudhary, police received information that gold, silver, copper, other valuable metals, and old conch shells were found during digging in a Bithoor field two months prior. It was alleged that the excavators took these items and later sold a portion of them.</p>
<h2>Intensive Investigation Leads to Arrests</h2>
<p>Acting on this crucial tip, a special team was swiftly formed under the guidance of Inspector General Dr. Ravi, Superintendent of Police Harshvardhan Agrawala, Additional Superintendent of Police Rajesh Kumar Meel, and Circle Officer Laxmanram. The police team, along with the Nasirabad Tehsil's revenue department, inspected the site. Clear marks of JCB excavation were found, prompting the police to intensify their investigation using technical analysis, intelligence networks, and informants.</p>
<p>The rigorous investigation led to the arrest of seven individuals: Firoz Khan and Qadar Mehrat from Bithoor, and Shankar Singh, Harlal Rawat, Jaisingh, Mahavir Singh, and Narayan Singh Rawat from Dholadanta-Bubania. Police recovered the gold and silver items, copper materials, and ancient conch shells based on the accused's confessions and from their possession. The cash obtained from selling some of the stolen treasure was also seized.</p>
<h2>Recovered Items Valued at ₹1.25 Crore</h2>
<p>Among the recovered gold are various small and large plates, lumps, and pieces of jewelry. Additionally, 310 grams of silver foil, about 2.5 kilograms of copper rods and wires, and two ancient conch shells were found. The police also managed to recover the ₹17,44,500 that the accused received after selling some of the stolen artifacts.</p>
<h2>Overcoming Challenges in a Two-Month-Old Case</h2>
<p>Police Officer Radheshyam highlighted the challenges faced by the team. The incident was two months old, and the site was located in remote fields with no CCTV coverage. Furthermore, crops had been sown in the field after the incident, making it difficult to gather direct evidence. Despite these hurdles, the police team activated their intelligence network, technical investigation, and informant system to gather information on suspects, ultimately cracking the case and making these arrests.</p>
<p>Sadar police confirmed that investigations are still ongoing to determine the exact nature and origin of the recovered ancient artifacts and treasure. All seven accused are currently in police remand for further interrogation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Tanker Overturns in Ajmer, Hazardous Road Design Under Scrutiny</h2>
<p><strong>Ajmer:</strong> A water tanker overturned early Sunday morning in Ajmer's Deep Darshan Colony, specifically on Gali No. 17 of Somalpur Road, within the Ramganj Police Station area. The incident, which saw the large vehicle flip onto its side, is being attributed by local residents to a dangerously elevated section of the road combined with a sharp curve.</p>
<p>Reports from the scene suggest the tanker was navigating the turn when it suddenly lost balance, causing it to tip over backwards. The sudden shift caught the driver off guard, leading to the dramatic scene.</p>
<h2>Locals Point to Faulty Road Construction</h2>
<p>Following the accident, a crowd of onlookers quickly gathered. Fortunately, the incident occurred during the early hours when road traffic was minimal. This timing proved crucial, as it prevented any major mishaps or casualties.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Poor road design, including abrupt changes in elevation and sharp, unbanked curves, is a significant contributing factor to road accidents across India, often leading to loss of vehicle control.</div>
<p>Local residents have voiced strong accusations against the Gram Panchayat, alleging that the road in question was constructed approximately one and a half feet higher than the surrounding ground level. This significant elevation, particularly around the bend, reportedly creates considerable difficulty for vehicles, escalating the risk of accidents.</p>
<p>The community is now urging the Panchayat to take immediate action, demanding that the road's level and curve be properly rectified to ensure the safety of commuters and prevent future incidents.</p>

<p>The executive committee also addressed the scheduling of upcoming community events. A previously announced general assembly by the President for August 20, 2026, was officially cancelled and refuted by the committee.</p>
<p>Instead, a new proposal was unanimously passed to hold a grand general assembly starting on August 30, 2026. This significant event will take place at the Baba Ramdev Temple, Mahasabha office, in Pushkar. The agenda for this assembly is comprehensive, including the presentation of the audit report from the previous executive committee and extensive discussions aimed at the social upliftment, development, and resolution of various community issues.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently opened up about his relationship with girlfriend Shubhrajyoti Shetty and his views on marriage. In an interview with Janice Sequeira, he was asked whether he would consider getting married for the third time. When asked if he personally wanted to remarry, Anurag said his priority was not marriage but maintaining the relationship he already has. He said he is happy with Shubhrajyoti and wants to stay with her, adding that he is willing to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work. Says his priorities have changed with age Anurag also explained that his outlook on life has changed with age and experience. He said that at this stage of his life, his biggest concern is staying healthy and spending more time with the people he loves. He added that he wants to remain healthy enough to outlive the people close to him, as losing them is one of the things he thinks about deeply. anurag says he does not want to lose the relationship Anurag further said that he is content with what he and Shubhrajyoti have built together and does not want to risk losing their relationship. He said that as long as they have what they have now, he is happy and does not need anything more. Age gap made Anurag more conscious The couple also spoke about how their age difference has affected their relationship. Anurag admitted that there have been moments when they both became conscious of the age gap. However, Shubhrajyoti quickly corrected him, saying that Anurag has been more conscious about it. Agreeing with her, Anurag said his feelings about the age difference have changed as he has grown older. He explained that he had been conscious of it earlier as well and had even tried to avoid thinking about it. He added that Shubhrajyoti does not appear to have aged much, which made him more aware of the difference as he grew older while she continued to look much the same. Shubhra said that Anurag always encouraged her to live independently and understand herself. She said that Anurag did not want their relationship to become her identity. According to Shubhra, He can be confident about life because he has endured everything. He knows what love is not, and therefore he can understand that this is love. But I couldn't do that because I was in my 20s, and at that age, you are understanding yourself. He said, "That's why he insisted that I go out, and if I had to find my own way back to him, I should do so."

<media:keywords>Sunita, says, Govinda, ‘dating, girl, his, daughter’s, age’:Actor, hits, back, and, says, She, leaving, stone, unturned, defame, stay, your, limits</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Govinda has reacted strongly to his wife Sunita Ahuja's recent remarks about him. Sunita had alleged that Govinda was dating his co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar, claiming that the actress was around their daughter's age and that he should be ashamed. She had also referred to Govinda as the actress's “sugar daddy”. Responding to her comments, Govinda warned Sunita to “stay within her limits” and defended his co-star. He accused Sunita of making repeated statements that could damage his reputation and said she was leaving no stone unturned to defame him. Govinda recently told Sunita, “The work that is available outside, I don't do it, and whatever I am doing, you are interfering in it. When you were doing your work, whether it was a cooking show (Laughter Chefs) or Lock Upp, you called me there through Tina (our daughter) and took my services. That is your right. But the moment I started a film, you started leaving no stone unturned to make people turn against me, defame me or create a situation where my business does not work.” Govinda defends co-star Komal Rani Swarnakar Defending his co-star Komal Rani Swarnakar, Govinda said that people from less privileged backgrounds who enter the film industry should not be humiliated or made to feel ashamed. He said, “If people from poor families have entered the film industry, don't defame or shame them to such an extent that they are forced to leave. You have ability, strength, respect, wealth and fame — everything given to you by the Almighty. That doesn't mean you should humiliate someone who doesn't have these things. This does not suit you.” Govinda tells Sunita to ‘stay within limits’ Sunita has repeatedly alleged that Govinda is dating a woman around their daughter's age and has referred to him as a “sugar daddy”. Responding to her comments about his age, Govinda said that established actors often work with younger actresses and that such collaborations can also make them appear more youthful. He said, “Regarding this age narrative you've started, let me tell you that every big superstar in the country has worked with younger, new actresses, and they have gone on to get big films. By working with younger actors, they also appeared youthful. You don't want me to look youthful. You are trying to sabotage a big business over a small expectation.” Govinda further alleged that people were aware of the “gang” behind Sunita and claimed that its identity would eventually come out. He added, “I think you will need help somewhere down the line. Please, by making such statements and running this podcast, stay within limits. That is my request to you.” Govinda objects to Sunita’s use of abusive language After making the statement, Govinda appeared to leave but returned a few seconds later to make another point. He criticised Sunita for allegedly using abusive language involving mothers and sisters. He said, “I would also like to say, Sunita ji, you have started using a lot of mother-sister abuses. Pray to God that if people get inspired by you, where will you look in the mirror? If people start using such abuses against you, we will all be ashamed. This is not right. You have made the names of mothers and sisters very cheap. We don't expect this from you.” Why did Govinda react to Sunita’s remarks? Govinda's reaction came after he was recently spotted with Komal Rani Swarnakar, his co-star in his upcoming comeback film Roopa. Commenting on the pictures, Sunita reportedly said that Govinda was “roaming around with a girl the age of his daughter” and suggested that he should be ashamed of it. She had also referred to the actress as Govinda's “sugar daddy” connection. Your sugar daddy is so rich, then wear proper clothes - Sunita
Sunita Ahuja also commented on the dressing sense of actress Komal, who was seen with Govinda. She said that if the other person's sugar daddy is so rich, then at least they should wear proper clothes. A person should have their own standard. Sunita gave her own example and said that people should see how she lives with style. She called the entire incident very bad and a cheap mentality. Govinda was spotted with co-actress
Govinda was recently spotted at the airport for the second time with actress Komal Rani Swarnakar. It is worth noting that Sunita had said some time ago that she hates the name Komal. Govinda was spotted together with actress Komal Rani Swarnakar at the airport on August 7. Sunita, in an interview given to Miss Malini, had said while talking about Govinda's affair rumors that mistakes happen in youth, but hearing all this at the age of 63 is not right. Due to his career, Govinda kept his marriage to Sunita hidden from the world for almost two years. Sunita had said, 'This name is a bit messed up. I hate the name Komal. There's a Komal, X Y Z, whoever it is. I hate her.' Komal to Make Bollywood Debut with Govinda
Govinda is making a Bollywood comeback after 7 years and is also launching Komal with this film from his production house. Not only this, there are also reports of Komal being in Govinda's second film, Duniyadaari. In July, Govinda introduced Komal to the media at a press conference related to his upcoming film Rupa and praised her, saying that after watching the film, the audience would consider her a good actress. Govinda recently responded to Sunita's allegations in which she spoke about his affairs. Speaking to ANI about the affair allegations made by Sunita, Govinda said, She abuses me with great love, and I even eat from her hands. I believe that if the people who are where they are, and the role God has given them, were not there, we could not have succeeded.  Govinda said - It's not necessary to make allegations to create distance Govinda hinted that Sunita gained stardom after speaking openly about him. He said, Many things are not expressed. Is it necessary to make accusations to create distance? But people believe this is an easy way out. He questioned whether it's necessary to badmouth one's own people for success. This is a bit easy. Sunita praises and then criticizes. I see more love in this. Sunita had said - Govinda had many affairs Sunita Ahuja recently became a contestant on the show 'Lock Upp 2'. During the show, she talked about Govinda's alleged affairs. She had said, "In love, you should be able to tolerate everything. Chichi (Govinda) had many affairs in his youth. I ignored it then, but I won't now." Govinda and Sunita got married in 1987 Govinda and Sunita Ahuja got married in a private ceremony in 1987. At that time, Govinda had already become a Bollywood star. Both kept their marriage a secret for about two years for Govinda's career. They made their marriage public after the birth of their daughter Tina Ahuja. After this, their son Yashvardhan Ahuja was born.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Mithun Chakraborty has expressed his displeasure over not being invited to the Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF). He spoke to the media about the matter after a related meeting in Kolkata on Thursday, 13 August. Referring to his long association with Bengali and Indian cinema, the actor questioned why he was not invited to the festival. He also said that he is travelling to Moscow, where he has been invited to attend a film festival. ‘An invitation came from Moscow, but not even an invite in Bengal’ According to ANI, Mithun said, “I was not invited to the film festival. I am now going to Moscow; maybe they will invite me there. They are inviting me to the Moscow Film Festival, but here in Bengal, I was not invited. Perhaps they don't invite me because they consider me a small artist. They invite prominent people from outside who have absolutely no connection with Bengal.” Several people associated with the Bengali film industry were present at the meeting. They included Prosenjit Chatterjee, Rudranil Ghosh, Arindam Sil, Shantilal Mukherjee, Kanchan Mallick, Srijit Mukherji, and Shankar Chakraborty. The Kolkata Film Festival will be held from September 3 to 6. Mithun Chakraborty also met Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday. Admitted to hospital a few days ago, underwent surgery Veteran actor and BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty recently underwent surgery. Following the procedure, West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari also visited him at a private hospital in Kolkata. According to sources cited by news agency PTI, the metal plate that had previously been implanted in Mithun Chakraborty's body was removed. The plate had been inserted following an old accident. The Chief Minister wrote on social media, Famous film actor and member of BJP's central committee, Mithun Chakraborty, is admitted to a private hospital in Kolkata due to health issues. Today I went to the hospital to meet him. I spoke with him and inquired about his health. I pray to God for his speedy recovery. Was also admitted to the hospital in 2024 Earlier in February 2024, Mithun Chakraborty was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Kolkata after complaining of a brain stroke and chest pain. At that time too, Suvendu Adhikari had visited Mithun Chakraborty at the hospital and inquired about his health. Mithun Chakraborty is among the prominent BJP leaders in West Bengal. He campaigned for the party in the 2026 assembly elections, in which the BJP defeated the Trinamool Congress to form the government in the state. A look at Mithun Chakraborty's film career

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Did you know one of Bollywood’s longest films was a 4-hour-15-minute war epic with nearly 40 actors? 2003 war film ‘LOC: Kargil,’ directed by JP Dutta, brought together some of the biggest names in Hindi cinema to tell the story of the Kargil War. As we celebrate India’s Independence Day on 15 August, let’s know about this film and the untold stories behind it. A 4-hour-15-minute tribute to the Kargil War Veteran filmmaker, writer and producer JP Dutta made only 10 feature films in his career, many of which centred on the country and its armed forces. While Border went on to become a landmark war film, JP Dutta later attempted something even more ambitious with LOC: Kargil. Based on the story of Indian soldiers at Kargil and their war efforts against Pakistan (Operation Vijay), the movie attempted to give each character a good background story. The film, which runs for 4 hours and 15 minutes, showed the events of the Kargil War. Notably, JP Dutta is also known for establishing the trend of large-scale war films in Bollywood. However, making LOC: Kargil was not a cakewalk. After films such as Yateem, Batwara and Hathyar failed at the box office, several people were reluctant to associate themselves with this ambitious project. As many as 19 actors reportedly turned down the film, with some considering its subject weak, while others had scheduling issues. Why did Salman Khan reject the film? According to IMDB, Salman Khan was reportedly the first actor JP Dutta approached for LOC: Kargil. However, he wanted Salman to work on the film without charging a fee. Salman reportedly questioned why he should do the film for free when the makers would not distribute it to distributors for free. He ultimately chose not to be part of the project. One of Bollywood’s biggest star casts The film also held the distinction of being the most expensive Hindi film until December 2003. Despite its scale, patriotic theme and enormous star cast, the film did not perform well at the box office. Real weapons were used in the movie According to the IMDB, real ammunition and weapons were used in this movie. Real Bofors FH-77B artillery were shown but the firing sequences were stock footage. According to Hindustan Times, Sanjay Kapoor, who played Major Deepak Rampal, shared that while shooting in Ladakh alongside real soldiers, Kapoor and co-star Saif Ali Khan experienced military life firsthand, even using live ammunition. The true story behind the engagement ring The emotional movie scene where Captain Anuj Nayyar (played by Saif Ali Khan) hands his engagement ring to Colonel Bawa (Kiran Kumar) is entirely true. Before heading into battle, the real-life Captain Nayyar entrusted his ring to his commander. He explained that he did not want the enemy to capture it and promised to reclaim it once he returned. Sadly, he sacrificed his life, making the ring a lasting symbol of his bravery. Shot under gruelling conditions in Leh and Ladakh LOC: Kargil was shot in the challenging terrains of Leh and Ladakh, with the cast and crew working under harsh weather and difficult conditions. The film’s massive scale and realistic locations added to its impact. Actors worked closely with actual Indian Army personnel during production. Sanjay Kapoor shared further that facing the harsh, high-altitude terrain made he realised the immense sacrifices soldiers make daily. Filled with deep gratitude, the actor recalled that the film's cast was far more eager to click pictures with the real-life war heroes than vice versa. Truly memorable experience - Abhishek Bachchan Abhishek Bachchan, who played Vikram Batra in the film, had earlier shared a post on the 20th anniversary of the film's release, "Making the film with so many friends was truly memorable. But even more, I was proud to be able to tell the story of the real heroes of the Indian Armed Forces. Thank you, J.P. Dutta, for choosing me and making me a part of this film." I am grateful for the friends I made in this journey – Ajay Devgan Ajay Devgn, who played Lieutenant Manoj Kumar Pandey in the film, had shared some photos from the set. Along with them, he wrote, “ The scars that remind us of the wars we fought. Grateful for the journey, the memories, and the friends we made along the way.”]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji has been awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) by La Trobe University in Australia. The actress became emotional while accepting the honour on stage at a ceremony held on August 14 during the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2026 at Federation Square in Melbourne. The university recognised Rani for her three-decade-long career and her contribution to films that have highlighted important social issues. With this, she has become the second Indian artist after Shah Rukh Khan to receive the honour from La Trobe University. Shah Rukh was the first indian artist to receive it La Trobe University had earlier conferred an honorary doctorate on Shah Rukh Khan in 2019 for his contribution to cinema and social work. The university also announced a PhD scholarship in his name. University Chancellor John Brumby AO praised Rani’s work, saying her contribution goes beyond entertainment. According to the university, her films have encouraged conversations around social justice, equality and inclusion. Her continued efforts to highlight issues concerning women, children and underprivileged communities were also recognised. ‘I chose roles that challenged me’ While accepting the honour, Rani described the moment as one of the most humbling and emotional experiences of her life. She recalled that as a child, she wanted to make her parents and her country proud, and cinema became the medium through which she pursued that dream. Rani also said that she had taken risks with her choice of roles right from the beginning of her career. Rather than simply choosing films based on commercial success, she said she was drawn to stories that touched her personally and had the potential to make an impact on audiences. Also honoured for her acting at IFFM 2026 Rani received another special recognition at IFFM 2026 for her acting and international contribution to cinema. Festival Director Mitu Bhowmick Lange said the recognition celebrates Rani’s artistic journey and the ability of cinema to connect India and Australia. The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne is being held from August 13 to 23 and features Indian films and stories from across the country. Three decades of memorable performances Rani Mukerji began her acting career in the 1990s and went on to become one of Bollywood’s most recognised actresses. She has been part of films including ‘Ghulam’, ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Saathiya’, ‘Hum Tum’, ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ and ‘Yuva’. Over the years, she also took on roles that addressed social issues. Films such as ‘Black’, the ‘Mardaani’ franchise, ‘No One Killed Jessica’, ‘Hichki’ and ‘Mrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway’ explored themes including gender justice, women’s rights, disability inclusion and social change. Through these performances, Rani has built a career that combines mainstream cinema with stories that raise important social questions.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A copyright dispute has arisen over actor Sanjay Dutt's nightclub Ballr in Pune. Copyrighted songs were being played in the club without permission. Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) India complained to the Bombay High Court that copyrighted music was being used in the club without a license. The court granted interim relief to PPL, restraining Ballr from publicly playing sound recordings from its collection without the necessary license. A PPL representative visited Ballr on 24 June. During this visit, they found several copyrighted songs from PPL's collection being played in the club. Ballr is owned by actor Sanjay Dutt and Heramb Shelke. These songs include 'Badtameez Dil', 'Mauja Hi Mauja', 'Dard-E-Disco', 'O Saki Saki', and 'Dus Bahane'. Justin Bieber and Dua Lipa's songs also on the list The list of songs being played in the club also included international songs. These included Justin Bieber's 'What Do You Mean' and Dua Lipa's 'Levitating'. PPL claims that the copyright for all these sound recordings belongs to the same organisation. In its 7 August order, the Bombay High Court restrained the nightclub owners from playing or using PPL's collection of sound recordings without the necessary non-exclusive public performance license. License was taken earlier, not renewed after expiry During the hearing, the court was informed that Ballr had previously obtained a copyright license from PPL India to use music from its collection. PPL India handles the licensing of copyrighted sound recordings. However, this license had expired and was not renewed. Taking this into consideration, the court granted interim relief to PPL and directed Ballr not to use copyrighted recordings without the necessary permission. PPL states that commercial establishments playing copyrighted music for entertainment must obtain the necessary license. The organization is also monitoring places where its recordings might be used without permission. PPL's Lawyer Says - Unauthorised Use Can Have Legal Consequences After the order, PPL's lawyer Hiten Vasan said that the organisation will continue to identify cases where copyrighted music is being used without necessary approval. Vasan said, The interim order of the Bombay High Court sends a clear message that continued unauthorised use of copyrighted music can have serious legal consequences. This is an Interim Order, Not a Final Decision The court's order is an interim step in this matter. It is not a final decision on all issues related to the dispute. Currently, Ballr has been restrained from using recordings from PPL's collection without obtaining the necessary licenses. Following PPL's complaint, attention has once again been drawn to the issue of music licensing in commercial venues. Commercial venues must obtain the necessary approval before playing copyrighted songs for their guests.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Actress, furious, after, watching, ‘Toxic’, trailer:Rishika, Singh, Targets, Yash, over, bold, scenes, says, ‘Will, throw, you, out, Karnataka’</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Kannada actress Rishika Singh has criticised the portrayal of women and the bold scenes featured in the trailer of Yash’s upcoming film ‘Toxic’. She said the women shown in the trailer were not portrayed respectfully and warned the actor that he could face opposition in Karnataka if such representation continues. In a video shared on social media, Rishika expressed her disappointment with the scenes shown in the trailer. Addressing Yash directly, she questioned why he chose to be part of a film that, according to her, featured scenes in which women were not given due respect. Rishika also pointed out that Yash is a husband and a father, and said he should consider how women are represented on screen. She clarified that she wants Kannada cinema to grow and reach international audiences. She welcomed the making of a big Kannada film like ‘Toxic’ and was also happy to see a Bollywood actress being part of it. However, she said she was disappointed with the way women were portrayed in the trailer. She also questioned whether the film gives more importance to male ego while failing to give its female characters equal importance. Questions the portrayal of five actresses, including Kiara Advani Rishika also questioned how the five female actors in ‘Toxic’ have been portrayed in the trailer. She asked whether even one of the women was presented in a positive, dignified or commendable manner. According to her, the female characters deserved better representation in the film’s promotional material. Questioned Kiara’s portrayal in the film Rishika specifically raised questions about Kiara Advani, who plays Nadia in ‘Toxic’. Referring to a dialogue in the trailer where a woman is asked her “rate”, she questioned why such a line was included in the film. She also asked why Kiara was brought from Bollywood only to be portrayed in this manner. Asked Yash’s fans to consider the same situation Rishika also urged Yash’s fans to think about how they would feel if similar comments were made about their wives while working in another film industry. She said her criticism was not directed at director Geetu Mohandas, who has her own creative vision and may not view certain aspects of “our” culture in the same way. However, Rishika questioned why Yash, being from Karnataka, agreed to such a portrayal. She said men should maintain their dignity and treat women with respect. Said Karnataka will not tolerate disrespect towards women Towards the end of her video, Rishika made a strong statement about the issue. She said that people who do not respect women could be asked to leave Karnataka. She stated, “If women are not respected, we will evacuate you from Karnataka.” Kiara said female characters have distinct identities Kiara Advani, who plays Nadia in ‘Toxic’, has previously responded to claims that the film sidelines its female characters. In an interview with Femina, Kiara said that every woman in the film has a different role and personality. She added that each female character brings her own energy and identity to the story, and said audiences would enjoy seeing such diverse women within the same cinematic world. Who is Rishika Singh? Rishika Singh is the daughter of veteran Kannada filmmaker Rajendra Singh Babu. She has appeared in films including ‘Kalla Malla Sulla’, ‘Benki Birugali’, ‘Kanthirava’ and ‘Thuntaru’. Rishika has also participated in the first season of the reality show ‘Bigg Boss Kannada’.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actor Sunny Deol recently arrived in Kolkata to promote his upcoming film ‘Batwara 1947’. He interacted with fans at a promotional event attended by the film’s cast and director Rajkumar Santoshi. During the event, a fan requested Sunny to recreate a dialogue from the popular animated series ‘Oggy and the Cockroaches’. Sunny responded by delivering the dialogue in his signature style. In the Hindi-dubbed version of the show, the character Jack’s voice is known for its resemblance to Sunny’s distinctive dialogue delivery. A video of the moment is now going viral on social media. Said, “I haven’t watched the show,” then delivered the dialogue At the promotional event in Kolkata, a fan asked Sunny Deol to recreate a dialogue from the cartoon series ‘Oggy and the Cockroaches’. The fan told him about a Hindi-dubbed line from the show that resembles his signature voice and style: “Hey, I am dad, the dad of the world.” Sunny smiled and admitted that he had never watched the show, but said he would give it a try. He then delivered the dialogue in his characteristic loud and energetic style, drawing loud cheers and applause from the audience. Connection of ‘Oggy and the Cockroaches’ with Indian dubbing ‘Oggy and the Cockroaches’ is a popular animated series created in France by Jean-Yves Raimbaud. The show ran for multiple seasons between 1998 and 2019 and was first introduced to Indian audiences on Nickelodeon in 2009. When the series later aired on Cartoon Network in India in 2012, its characters were given voices inspired by the distinctive styles of popular Bollywood actors. The voice of Jack, the green cat, was designed to resemble Sunny Deol’s iconic dialogue delivery. The unique dubbing became especially popular among children and young viewers in India. '‘Bantwara 1947’ released in theatres Sunny Deol’s film ‘Bantwara 1947’ has now arrived in theatres. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film features Sunny as a Muslim man who travels to Pakistan during the Partition of India. After reaching Pakistan, his character meets a Hindu woman, played by Shabana Azmi. The story follows his efforts to protect her and his family amid the turmoil of Partition. Produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, the film also stars Preity Zinta, Karan Deol, Ali Fazal, Abhimanyu Singh and Kanishka Kapoor in important roles.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The name of Bollywood's legendary Bachchan family has been associated with the identity and legacy of Hindi cinema for decades. Now, in a case related to this name and its reputation, the Delhi High Court has raised very important questions. While hearing a case regarding false news spread about Aaradhya Bachchan's health, the court asked whether the name and reputation of a famous family can be considered a legacy. If so, can this legacy be passed on to future generations with legal protection? During the hearing of the case related to Aaradhya Bachchan, the Delhi High Court raised important questions regarding the family's name and its reputation. The court asked whether the reputation associated with the name of a famous family can receive legal protection like a legacy for future generations. If it can, for how many generations will this protection continue? Justice Anoop Jairam Bhambhani said that the identity of a trademark is formed by its product or service. But the identity of a person or family's name is formed by their achievements, work, and reputation in society. In such a situation, the question is whether this reputation can also be carried forward like a family's legacy. The court raised three big questions- Can a family's reputation pass on to future generations?
The court will see if the reputation of a family name is considered like a trademark; can this reputation continue for future generations? If yes, what will be its legal limit? Is fake news also a violation of Intellectual Property Rights?
The court will also see if extremely objectionable and false news spread about a celebrity or their family can be considered a violation of Intellectual Property Rights. Can defamation also be linked to Intellectual Property?
The court will try to understand if defamation that harms a person's reputation can be brought under Intellectual Property Rights. The court clarified that these questions are not final and further issues may also be discussed in the case. What is Aaradhya Bachchan’s case? The issue of the Bachchan family's legacy Advocate Praveen Anand, appearing for Aaradhya, said that the matter is not just about Aaradhya's reputation, but the reputation of the entire Bachchan family. He told the court that videos were made using pictures of the Bachchan family and the name 'Bachchan', in which false claims like Aaradhya's death or cancer were made. This damaged the family's reputation. This is why a big question now stands before the court: can the name and reputation of a famous family be considered a legacy, and can that legacy be given legal protection? Next hearing on 15 September The Delhi High Court will hear the next hearing of this case on 15 September. During this, further discussion will be held on questions related to family reputation, fake news, defamation and personality rights. The decision in this case may not only be important for the Bachchan family, but also for other celebrity families. This can help determine how the law protects a family's name, identity, image and reputation from being misused online.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has clarified her controversial remarks about Gen Z youth. In a video shared on her Instagram Story, Kangana said that not all young people from across the country had participated in the protest at Jantar Mantar. She claimed that of the nearly 10,000 people gathered there, around half were young people, while the rest were older attendees, including those in the age group of Shabana Azmi. Kangana said she never intended to call the entire generation “gutter-chhaap” and alleged that a false narrative portraying her as anti-youth was being spread. 2,000 youth at Jantar Mantar, Shabana Azmi’s name mentioned Kangana said India’s Gen Z population is estimated at around 30 to 35 crore, while only about 10,000 people attended the Jantar Mantar protest. She pointed out that people of different age groups were present and claimed that more than half the crowd was around Shabana Azmi’s age. Kangana challenged anyone to show a statement in which she had targeted the entire young generation. She also said that she considers herself young, adding that she is not a “50-year-old youth” like Rahul Gandhi. Controversy erupted after calling them 'Generation Gutter'
Earlier, Kangana had strongly criticized the protesting youth. She had said that watching the protest videos made her feel like vomiting and questioned the language of the people present there. Kangana had called such protesters 'Generation Gutter'. She had stated that these youths have nothing to offer to the system and are not good in studies either. After this statement, she was heavily criticised on social media and in political circles. ‘If you call yourself a cockroach, the gutter will be your home’ Following the backlash over her remarks, Kangana Ranaut explained her statement in an interaction with ANI. She said the protesters had referred to themselves as “cockroaches” and argued that a cockroach’s home is a gutter. Kangana said that if someone chooses to call themselves a cockroach, they would consequently remain in the gutter. She added that she does not consider herself a cockroach or someone who belongs in a gutter. Kangana also clarified that her remarks were not directed at the youth of the entire country. She said she was referring specifically to the people who were present at that particular protest. Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj participated in the protest
Regarding the background of the case, a protest took place on July 20 at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. During this, 75-year-old veteran actress Shabana Azmi and actor Prakash Raj had arrived to support the protesters. Both artists were seen riding in a truck with the protesters marching towards the Parliament. It was during this protest that Kangana made controversial remarks regarding the crowd and language. Read this news too… Kangana's clarification on calling Naseeruddin Shah a 'Lomdi': Says 'He is always obsessed with Pakistan; when will this love story end?’ Kangana Ranaut clarified calling senior actor Naseeruddin Shah a 'fox'. She said that this attitude of the film industry is not new. According to Kangana, many people shed 'crocodile tears' during the protest at Jantar Mantar, but now the same people are silent on the alleged abuse of children in Jharkhand.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Shammi Kapoor was remembered by an entire generation for his 'Yahoo' echo, carefree style, and as a hero who danced freely. But many stories from his life are even more interesting than his stardom. At one time, his 'Yahoo' identity became so famous that people started thinking he was the owner of company Yahoo. There was confusion in the family too. Randhir Kapoor had asked him - "Uncle, you opened a company and didn't even tell us?" On Shammi Kapoor's 15th death anniversary, Raza Murad and Arun Bakshi shared their memories associated with him. The star for whose film people would stand in line for hours To understand Shammi Kapoor's stardom, Raza Murad's story is enough. The actor with whom he later shared the screen, he once had to stand in line for hours for advance booking to watch his films. Raza Murad says that Shammi Kapoor was among his favorite stars. There was tremendous craze among audiences for films like 'Junglee', 'Jawan', 'Bluff Master', 'Rajkumar' and 'Sachai'. It was difficult to get tickets in current booking. Therefore, one had to stand in line for hours for advance booking. Didn't imitate, created his own style Shammi Kapoor's specialty was not just his popularity. He didn't create his style by imitating another actor. He had his own body language, energy and confidence. This was the reason that even in a crowd, he immediately stood out. Journey from fan to co-star Times changed and the same Raza Murad was standing with Shammi Kapoor on the set of the film 'Prem Rog', for whose films he used to stand in line. For Raza, this was like a dream come true. But Shammi Kapoor never made him feel small. Despite being a junior artist, he treated him with ease and equality. Raza Murad says- He used to keep pranking and joking on the set. Many times he would suddenly fall silent after saying half a thing to someone. The other person would keep wondering what the matter was. Then after some time Shammi Kapoor would laugh and tell that he was joking. He even remembered the camera angle The child within him had not grown up with age. He remained conscious even in front of the camera. He was aware of which angle the camera was viewing him from and how his face would appear in the frame. He loved good food and also loved feeding his friends. Hosting feasts for friends at home was part of his nature. Despite stardom, this style of living life to the fullest remained until his final days. A Special Relationship with Kashmir The relationship between Shammi Kapoor and Kashmir holds a special place in the memories of Hindi cinema. Films like 'Junglee', 'Kashmir Ki Kali' and 'Janwar' brought the beauty of Kashmir to audiences across the country. The valleys seen in songs like 'Ye Chand Sa Roshan Chehra', 'Kashmir Ki Kali Hoon Main' and 'Mere Yaar Shabba Khair' and Shammi Kapoor's carefree style captured the hearts of viewers. Contribution to Kashmir's Tourism as Well Raza Murad believes that Shammi Kapoor's films had a major contribution in popularizing Kashmir's tourism. He used to say that there should be a road, garden or neighborhood named after Shammi Kapoor there. He wished that if Kashmir Airport had also been named after Shammi Kapoor, it would have been a wonderful tribute to his contribution. For Raza, Shammi Kapoor's entire personality was encapsulated in one thing - either be the best or be different. Shammi Kapoor was certainly the most different. Meeting Geeta Bali and Four Months of Love A beautiful chapter of Shammi Kapoor's personal life was connected to actress Geeta Bali. The two met in the film environment. They came close during the shooting of 'Rangeeli Raatein'. Shammi Kapoor proposed marriage to Geeta Bali, but she didn't say yes immediately. Both of them discussed this for about four months. Then one night Geeta Bali said that if they had to get married, it had to be now. Reached the temple at midnight, priest said - God has gone to sleep Both reached Banganga temple with the help of their friend Johnny Walker and producer Hari Walia. It was quite late at night. The priest told them that God has gone to sleep, come around four in the morning. Both returned and reached the temple again in the morning. After that the marriage took place. Filled the parting with lipstick The simplicity of this wedding was like Shammi-Geeta's relationship. Geeta Bali didn't have vermillion. She took out lipstick from her purse and asked Shammi Kapoor to fill her parting with that only. This marriage that took place in 1955 resulted in two children. About ten years later, Geeta Bali's untimely death broke this relationship forever. Shammi was shattered after Geeta's passing After Geeta Bali's death in 1965, a difficult period began in Shammi Kapoor's life. Neela Devi had told in an interview to Vicky Lalwani that he could not come out of this shock for a long time. For about six months, he stayed at Raj Kapoor's house. Krishna Kapoor helped in taking care of his children. Turned to alcohol and cigarettes in pain According to Neela Devi, during this period Shammi Kapoor took refuge in alcohol and cigarettes. At one time, he used to smoke about 100 cigarettes a day and consumed a lot of alcohol. The memory of Geeta Bali never left his life. 21 days away from alcohol in memory of Geeta Neela Devi revealed that every year from January 1 to January 21, Shammi Kapoor would not touch alcohol. January 21 was Geeta Bali's death anniversary. This 21-day abstinence was his way of remembering Geeta. Gradually, he reduced alcohol and later almost gave it up. Midnight Phone Call and Four Hours of Conversation After Geeta Bali's demise, Neela Devi came into Shammi Kapoor's life. This relationship also began in Shammi Kapoor's style. One night, Shammi Kapoor called Neela Devi. First, her sister picked up the phone and recognizing the voice, hung up. Shammi Kapoor said he needed to talk to Neela right away. After that, both of them talked for about four-five hours. The Story of an Entire Life Told in One Night Shammi Kapoor narrated the story of his life to Neela Devi - childhood, family, relationships, Geeta Bali, children, and life after Geeta's demise. He shared the good and bad aspects of his life without hiding anything. Then he clearly said that he wanted to marry her and would come the next day to take her to Banganga. Neela Devi said that the marriage would only happen in the presence of family. Shammi Kapoor agreed to this. Krishna Kapoor already liked Neela Devi and had advised Shammi Kapoor to marry her. Sudden Marriage on 27 January 1969 On 27 January 1969, Shammi Kapoor and Neela Devi got married. The preparations were so sudden that Neela Devi's clothes were arranged later. Initially, Krishna Kapoor thought Shammi was joking. But when he made it clear that he was really going to get married, the family got ready. A New Relationship in the Kapoor Family Just a few days after the wedding, Ritu Nanda's grand wedding was scheduled. Therefore, Shammi and Neela's wedding also remained a topic of discussion in the Kapoor family. Entering the Kapoor family was not easy for Neela Devi. People who until yesterday knew her as a friend or through other relationships, were now calling her Bhabhiji, Mamiji, and Chachiji. But most important was the acceptance by Shammi Kapoor's children. Geeta's ring increased the bond On the third day of the marriage, Shammi Kapoor gave Geeta Bali's ring to Neela Devi. It had 'S' written on it with diamonds. Neela Devi accepted it considering it as Geeta Bali's blessing. This incident also increased Kanchan's affection for Neela Devi. People had said the relationship wouldn't last even two months Initially, many people didn't have faith in Shammi Kapoor and Neela Devi's marriage. There was talk among journalists and people around that this relationship wouldn't last even two months. But Shammi Kapoor and Neela Devi proved this notion wrong. Their companionship lasted more than four decades. Fun-loving on screen, short-tempered in real life Neela Devi says that Shammi Kapoor, who always appeared cheerful on screen, was also shy in real life. His temper was quick, though it didn't last long. Sometimes his anger would increase after drinking alcohol. The next day when he couldn't remember the entire incident, he would ask Neela Devi what had happened the previous night. After hearing everything, he would feel remorse about his behavior and apologize. 'Yahoo' - Such a Connection That People Thought He Was the Owner The word 'Yahoo' became so deeply associated with Shammi Kapoor's name that at one point, people genuinely started believing he was the owner of the 'Yahoo' company. Shammi Kapoor had mentioned in an interview that even his nephew Randhir Kapoor asked him why he never told anyone that 'Yahoo' was his company. Shammi had jokingly replied that if 'Yahoo' were his company, he wouldn't be sitting in India but would be in America. Even Randhir Kapoor Got Confused This anecdote shows how strong Shammi Kapoor's 'Yahoo' identity had become. The 'Yahoo' song from his film 'Junglee' and his jumping and dancing style became so popular that people began to consider this word as his identity. When Yahoo was launched in India, the company's co-founder Jerry Yang came to India. Shammi Kapoor was also invited to the event. As soon as he arrived, the famous 'Yahoo' song was played. In Dance, No Steps - Just Following the Music Watching Shammi Kapoor dance, it seemed he wasn't doing choreography, but rather living the music. His dance was largely extemporaneous. Instead of repeating fixed steps exactly, he would let his body move naturally with the music. In that era, a hero dancing so openly was not common. Shammi Kapoor changed this mindset. Made dance a part of acting For him, dance was not just a part between songs. It was a part of acting. His specialty was also that he didn't follow any other actor. This was the reason that watching his dance, audiences would immediately recognize that this was Shammi Kapoor's style. Apologized to junior on the set of 'Batwara' Arun Bakshi narrated an incident from the shooting of the film 'Batwara', which shows Shammi Kapoor's humility. During the shooting, director JP Dutta was filming a long scene between Shammi Kapoor and Arun Bakshi. Shammi Kapoor was continuously having retakes. The new actor felt the mistake was his Arun Bakshi was a new actor at that time. He was afraid that Shammi Kapoor was facing trouble because of him. After every retake, he would go away and rehearse his lines. Finally, the shot was okayed. After this, Shammi Kapoor himself came to him and said- "Arun, sorry yaar." Arun Could Not Forget the Apology of Such a Big Star A big star apologizing to a new artist became a memorable moment for Arun Bakshi. This anecdote shows that no matter how big the stardom, for Shammi Kapoor, respecting the fellow artist was more important than that. The Gathering Continued from Set to Airplane During the shooting of 'Batwara', Shammi Kapoor enjoyed playing badminton with Dharmendra and other artists. Even after the shooting ended, his fun didn't stop on the return flight. In that era, alcohol was permitted on flights. The artists were sitting with their respective brands. A Musical Gathering Started on the Flight Vinod Khanna started singing and Shammi Kapoor also joined in. Arun Bakshi also sang along. In no time, a gathering started on the plane. Some foreign passengers also began enjoying this atmosphere. This anecdote shows that for Shammi Kapoor, life was a celebration even after shooting. From Film Star to Early Internet Enthusiasts One aspect of Shammi Kapoor's life sets him apart from other stars of his era - his passion for technology. When the internet was new in India and most people were not even familiar with computers, Shammi Kapoor was learning computers. Life Changed by Macintosh He bought a Macintosh computer in the early days. He didn't just want to use technology, but tried to understand it. According to Neela Devi, the computer brought a big change in his life. During this period, he also quit smoking. On one hand, he was a popular film star of the old generation, on the other hand, he was among the early adopters of the new digital world. Illness weakened the body, not the spirit In 2003, Shammi Kapoor's lung condition became critical. According to Neela Devi, he remained on a ventilator at Breach Candy Hospital for about a month. During treatment, the effects of steroids and antibiotics also affected his kidneys and dialysis began. Didn't stop traveling despite dialysis Raza Murad revealed that despite problems with both kidneys, the smile never disappeared from Shammi Kapoor's face. His attitude was - if treatment has to be done, then it has to be done, and if life has to be lived, then it has to be lived. Despite dialysis, he did not stop traveling the world. With Neela Devi, he made trips to Switzerland, London, and even New York. Life was important besides the hospital Later, when dialysis became three times a week, weakness increased and travel became difficult. But apart from hospital days, eating out remained a part of his life on other days. For many years, after getting ready in the morning, he would take Neela Devi to eat at some good hotel or restaurant. Driving was a feeling of freedom Shammi Kapoor had a tremendous passion for driving. One day he told Neela Devi that he was just going to have coffee and would return soon. But he didn't return for quite a while. When called, it was found that he had driven himself and reached Khandala. 'If I can't drive, what's the point of living' For him, driving was not just a hobby, but a feeling of freedom. When due to illness he was no longer in a condition to drive himself, he said to Neela Devi - "When I can't drive, what's the point of living?" Neela Devi consoled him. This statement brings forth that aspect of his life in which independence and staying active were essential for him. Wheelchair came, but life didn't stop Even after being confined to a wheelchair, he didn't imprison himself at home. He would meet people, go out and try to visit other patients in the hospital. The illness was stopping his body, but not his will to live life. Spiritual transformation amid illness Shammi Kapoor was not very serious about gurus and spirituality initially. Neela Devi's mother had given him a picture of Mahavatar Babaji and asked him to chant 'Om Namah Shivaya'. He did it as a mark of respect. About two years later, he met Guruji. According to Neela Devi, after this meeting, a spiritual transformation came into his life. Shammi used to play harmonium in bhajans The family went on pilgrimages with Guruji to places like Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Dwarka and Somnath. During bhajan-kirtan, Shammi Kapoor would sing while playing the harmonium. Guruji did not order him to stay away from films or alcohol. According to Neela Devi, he only showed love and the spiritual path. This is what impressed Shammi Kapoor the most. Did not hesitate to transition from hero to character actor As Shammi Kapoor aged and started getting character roles, some people said that such a big star shouldn't do such roles. Shammi Kapoor consulted Neela Devi. Her response was- "You are an actor, an actor can play any character." Shammi Kapoor liked this advice. Acting was bigger than stardom He continued to accept character roles. He believed that just sitting at home drinking alcohol and eating couldn't be his life. If work is available, one should work. This was the reason why despite age and illness, he didn't separate himself from work. Didn't Stop Singing Even While Going to the Hospital According to Neela Devi, once during Christmas, Shammi Kapoor's health suddenly deteriorated in Pune. He was admitted to the hospital and the next day was brought to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital by ambulance. Even while reaching the hospital and heading towards the ICU, he started singing. Illness Reached the Body, Not the Artist This was the same Shammi Kapoor who made audiences laugh, dance, and filled them with his energy throughout his life. Illness certainly weakened his body, but couldn't destroy the artist within him. This was the greatest lesson of his life - no matter how difficult the circumstances, one should never stop living life. Last wish fulfilled in Kashmir Kashmir was close to Shammi Kapoor's heart. His wish was that after his death, his ashes should be immersed in Dal Lake. This wish of his was fulfilled. The artist who spread his unique charm in the valleys of Kashmir through 'Junglee' and made the beauty of the valley a part of the imagination of audiences across the country through 'Kashmir Ki Kali', his final farewell was also connected to that same lake of Kashmir.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Kiara Advani is once again being talked about, this time for her bold look and intimate scenes in Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups. Some are praising her confidence, while others are questioning her choices after marriage and motherhood.
But the noise around Kiara today hides a very different story.
 There was a time when she was not getting calls from filmmakers. She had to keep asking her manager, “Any calls?” Even after M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story gave her recognition, rejection did not stop.
Today, she is a leading Bollywood actress, a wife and a mother. But getting here was not an overnight success story.
This is the story of the Kiara behind the glamour, the rejections and the headlines. She was born Alia, not Kiara Kiara Advani was born Alia Advani in Mumbai on 31 July, 1992. Her father, Jagdeep Advani, is a businessman, while her mother, Genevieve Jaffrey, was a teacher. Kiara's family also has connections with the Hindi film industry. Her maternal grandfather's family includes veteran actor Saeed Jaffrey, while legendary actor Ashok Kumar was also part of her extended family. However, Kiara did not grow up as an actress's daughter waiting for a film launch. She studied at The Cathedral  John Connon School and later graduated in Mass Communication from Jai Hind College. Before becoming an actress, she taught children in pre-school Before entering Bollywood, she worked at her mother's preschool, Early Birds Playschool. She has spoken about how much she enjoyed spending time with children. Years later, motherhood would become another major turning point in her life. But even before becoming a teacher, Kiara had already faced the camera. She appeared in an advertisement as a baby She appeared in a baby-product advertisement with her mother when she was around eight months old. Of course, she had no idea then that she would eventually become one of Bollywood's most recognisable faces. As a child, she loved acting out film scenes in front of the mirror and participating in school programmes. Slowly, the dream of becoming an actress became stronger. Salman Khan suggested the name Kiara There is an interesting story behind Kiara's name. Her birth name was Alia Advani. But when she was preparing to enter Bollywood, Alia Bhatt had already become a popular actress. Kiara has said that Salman Khan advised her to change her name. She eventually chose the name Kiara, inspired by Priyanka Chopra's character in Anjaana Anjaani. And that name would soon become known across the country. Salman Khan knew her family, but the connection did not make her career easy Kiara's mother, Genevieve, and Salman have reportedly been childhood friends. Because of this connection, people have often assumed that Kiara had an easy entry into Bollywood. But Kiara has repeatedly said that her connections did not get her films on a platter. She still had to audition. Debuted with Fugly, but the film failed badly Kiara made her Bollywood debut in 2014 with Fugly, directed by Kabir Sadanand. But it failed at the box office. For Kiara, the real struggle started after the film's release. Instead of getting a series of offers, she found herself waiting for the next opportunity. She kept asking her manager: “Any calls?” After Fugly, Kiara went through a difficult period. She would regularly ask her manager if there had been any calls from filmmakers. But there were days when there was simply nothing. For a newcomer who had entered the industry with dreams of becoming an actress, the silence was difficult. She began questioning herself. Had she made the wrong career choice? Would she ever get another film? But she did not give up. Even after ‘Dhoni’, rejection did not stop After nearly two years of struggle, Kiara auditioned for M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story. The 2016 film became a huge success. For the first time, Kiara was getting noticed by a much larger audience. But surprisingly, the success did not immediately end her struggle. She continued auditioning for films. There were projects where she reached the final round, cleared screen tests, and even went through look tests. But the roles went to somebody else. As Kiara later explained, audiences see the films that are released but rarely see the auditions and rejections that happen behind them. She was even told she wasn't a star by fashion designers. Kiara has recalled that some designers refused to lend her clothes because she was not yet a star. She had to depend on smaller designers for some appearances. Today, Kiara is known for her fashion choices. She regularly works with major designers and luxury brands. But things were completely different when she was a newcomer. ‘Lust Stories’ changed the way people looked at her Kiara's next major turning point came in 2018 with Netflix's Lust Stories. Her segment, directed by Karan Johar, was very different from the roles she had played earlier. The performance attracted attention and showed another side of Kiara. For the first time, people began discussing her not just as a glamorous actress but as a performer. But the biggest change was still waiting. Then came ‘Kabir Singh’ and gave huge fame to Kiara In 2019, Kiara appeared opposite Shahid Kapoor in Kabir Singh. The film became a massive box-office success. And Kiara's life changed almost overnight. Interestingly, the popularity of Kabir Singh was so huge that many people started assuming it was Kiara's debut film. But by then, she had already spent five years struggling in Bollywood. Kiara followed Kabir Singh with several successful and widely discussed films. Criticised for her bikini look in ‘War 2’; Ram Gopal Varma's vulgar comment faced backlash Kiara Advani’s bikini look in War 2 sparked mixed reactions on social media. While many fans praised her glamorous appearance and confidence, some users criticised the actress for wearing a bikini, questioning the choice of outfit. The look also became a talking point after filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma shared Kiara’s picture and made controversial remarks about it. His comments drew backlash online, with several people calling them inappropriate and disrespectful. Her performance as Dimple Cheema in Shershaah received particular appreciation. It was also during the making of Shershaah that her relationship with Sidharth Malhotra became a major talking point. Sidharth proposed with a ‘Shershaah’ dialogue Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra, who married in 2023, once shared details of their romantic proposal on Koffee With Karan 8. Sidharth proposed to Kiara during their first family holiday in Rome. Kiara had a feeling the proposal might happen and had even asked him to seek her parents’ permission first. Sidharth planned a candlelight dinner, followed by a romantic walk, violin music, and a surprise proposal on one knee. His nephew secretly recorded the moment. But when Kiara became speechless, Sidharth broke the silence by reciting his Shershaah dialogue, “Dilli ka seedha saada launda hoon,” making her burst into laughter. The two eventually got married. Their wedding pictures became a social-media sensation. But marriage did not mean Kiara stepped away from her career. She continued working in major projects. And Sidharth has continued to support her through the ups and downs of being a public figure. Motherhood changed Kiara's priorities In a recent conversation, Kiara spoke openly about how motherhood changed her. She said she became a completely different person after becoming a mother. Earlier, she had been very focused on everyone else. But after her daughter was born, she realised that she also needed to build a relationship with herself. For Kiara, motherhood has not ended her career. Instead, it has given her a new perspective on it. ‘Toxic’ is her next big test Now Kiara is preparing for another major chapter with Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups. Its trailer has already generated huge curiosity. Some viewers are impressed by the film's scale and Kiara's transformation, while others have questioned its bold content. The debate has only increased attention around the film. And Kiara appears determined not to let the noise define her. Through all of this, her husband Sidharth Malhotra has stood by her like a strong pillar. Kiara has spoken about how Sidharth advised her not to let social-media negativity affect her. Today, the questions around her may have changed, but one thing has remained the same: she keeps moving forward.
The girl who once waited for a filmmaker's call is now choosing which stories she wants to tell.
And perhaps that is the most interesting part of Kiara Advani's journey. The spotlight may change, the roles may change, and life may change, but she has not stopped choosing herself.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Singer Sonu Nigam has explained why he chose not to comment on the NEET paper leak controversy and protests over alleged irregularities in examinations in Delhi. In an interview with Bombay Times, Sonu said he was asked about the issue at an event held to pay tribute to his guru, Pankaj Udhas. He felt that discussing politics or another issue at an event dedicated to his guru would have been insensitive. Sonu also said that he had promised his father that he would never comment on an issue unless he had complete information about it. Recently, a video of the singer went viral on social media in which he was seen declining to answer media questions about the NEET examination. Went to pay tribute, felt discussing politics would be disrespectful Sonu Nigam said that over his more than three decades in Mumbai, he has learned an important rule about press conferences: when the media is invited for a particular event, the discussion should remain focused on that event. He said he had attended the gathering to pay tribute to his guru, Pankaj Udhas, and felt that bringing politics into such an occasion would have been disrespectful. He also appealed to the media to maintain the dignity of such events. Promised his father not to comment without complete information Sonu said he does not use social media on his phone and that his life mainly revolves around music and spirituality. He added that he had promised his father that he would not speak publicly about an issue unless he had complete information about it. He recalled taking a stand on major issues in the past, including the loudspeaker controversy over Azaan and royalty rights for singers, and said his efforts had contributed to changes in the system. Says others should come forward for change Talking about his earlier activism, Sonu said that it is now time for others to step forward and raise their voices on new issues. He urged people to think about what positive changes they can bring to society through their commitment. Sonu also took a dig at social media activism, saying people should become “real warriors” instead of limiting themselves to posts and comments online. Sang during neck surgery Sonu Nigam recently shared a video on social media showing him singing for the medical staff while undergoing surgery at a hospital. Sharing the video, Sonu Nigam wrote- Gave a sudden small performance for the dear Dr. Nilesh Satbhai and his entire team during my surgery. Sang even in pain because the joy of music is unique! Sonu Nigam had revealed - his nerves were pinched The reason for Sonu Nigam's surgery is not yet known. However, in June, he had shared information about his health on social media. Sonu had revealed that he was suffering from a painful nerve-related illness and was undergoing treatment for it. In June, Sonu had mentioned that his nerves were pinched and he had undergone MRI and CT scans. Sonu had said that he had undergone several MRI and CT scans. He had been taking medicines for several days. He also showed a patch near his neck.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[At a promotional event for ‘Vishwanath and Sons’ in Hyderabad on August 11, director Venky Atluri surprised actor Suriya with a sudden gesture of respect. While Suriya was speaking on stage, Venky pointed upwards and said, “Sir, there’s something up there.” As Suriya looked up, Venky bent down and touched his feet, leaving the actor visibly surprised and smiling. During the event, Suriya also praised Venky for his energy and direction. People remembered the iconic scene from ‘Sooryavansham’ Venky’s gesture reminded social media users of an iconic scene from the film ‘Sooryavansham’. In the film, Soundarya played Bhanu Pratap’s daughter-in-law, who is also a collector. Due to differences within the family, Bhanu Pratap remains upset with her. Instead of directly touching his feet, her character deliberately drops a paperweight near him. She then bends down to pick it up and uses the moment to touch his feet and seek his blessings. Similarly, Venky asked Suriya to look up before using the moment to touch his feet, which led fans to draw a comparison with the film’s scene. ‘Vishwanath  Sons’ features a strong cast Suriya’s upcoming film ‘Vishwanath  Sons’ also stars Mamitha Baiju, Radhika Sarathkumar and Raveena Tandon. The film is described as an emotional family drama. In the film, Suriya is playing the role of a 40-year-old international pistol shooter named Sanjay Vishwanath. He will be seen opposite Mamitha Baiju. The story will depict a love story with an age gap between the two. The film is directed by Venky Atluri. Its music is composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister, Shweta Singh Kirti, has revealed that after his death, she experienced what she described as her brother’s presence, including his breath and scent. In a recent conversation with YouTube channel Supertalks by The Movingship, Shweta said she felt Sushant’s presence in dreams and during meditation. She recalled one such experience around the time his ashes were kept for immersion in Patna. Shweta said she was lying in a room when she felt that Sushant had come to meet her. Recalling the experience, she said, “That night, he came to talk to me. He was wearing something made of jute and was dressed in a kurta-like outfit. He hugged me and spoke to me for hours. I had so many questions for him. I asked, ‘Brother, why did this happen?’ I asked him about many things, and he explained everything to me.” She added that the experience helped her find a sense of closure. “Somehow, all the knots and complexities inside me began to untangle. Finally, he hugged and kissed me, and I could feel his scent, his breath—everything,” she said. Shweta revealed that she was in California when she received the news of Sushant's death. She said that her body went numb upon hearing the news, and later she started crying loudly. She mentioned that due to Covid-19, she could not come to India and could not even say her final goodbye to her brother. ‘Dhoni did not contact the family’: Shweta  Sushant Singh Rajput played the character of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the biopic film 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story'. The film played a crucial role in Sushant's career. Meanwhile, Shweta said in the podcast that Dhoni did not contact the family after Sushant's death. She stated that Kangana Ranaut and some other celebrities had contacted the family. Sushant died on 14 June, 2020 Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his flat in Bandra on 14 June, 2020. Initially, Mumbai Police called it a case of suicide. However, after questions arose on social media and an FIR was filed by Sushant's family in Patna, claims and allegations of both murder and abetment to suicide came to light. After the order of the Supreme Court and the recommendation of the Bihar government, the official investigation of this case was handed over to the CBI in August 2020. In its closure report to the court, the CBI had stated that no evidence of abetment to suicide or any kind of criminal conspiracy or murder in Sushant's death was found. ...........

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Kangana Ranaut clarified regarding calling senior actor Naseeruddin Shah a 'Lomdi'. She said that this attitude of the film industry is not new. According to Kangana, many people shed 'crocodile tears' during the protest at Jantar Mantar, but now the same people are silent on the alleged atrocities against children in Jharkhand. Sharing her own experience, Kangana said, "When Parliament was attacked, people climbed onto my MP friends' cars and broke their windows. A crowd of about 2,500 people also gathered outside my house, and we needed so much police that we couldn't sleep at night. Back then, these people cried fake tears. But now, when children in Jharkhand are suffering, why are they silent? Are those children not part of the younger generation?" She added that it is wrong to believe that only people who speak against the country or the Prime Minister represent the youth. Kangana stated that she herself is a young, working woman building her career, so it is unfair to call her “anti-youth.” Targeting the film industry, Kangana said that those who shed tears over the Jantar Mantar issue should also raise their voice for children in Jharkhand. Referring to Naseeruddin Shah's video, Kangana said that he had made such statements and threats in the video, which she considers highly objectionable. She said that the Prime Minister is the elected leader of the country and his position should be respected under the dignity of democracy. Kangana said, Such dirty, such vulgar things and threats: 'Get out of the country', 'We will burn you', 'We will kill you', what is this, does anyone think, are these civilized things? Kangana questioned the love for Pakistan Kangana said, 'And whenever you see, be it their films, their talks, their interviews, when will this love story of Pakistan end? Whenever you see, they are dying in love with Pakistan. I want to know that so many years have passed since the partition, then why is this love story not ending?' She further said, ';When there are so many, be it the Pahalgam attack or the Operation Sindoor we carried out, the country is going somewhere else, the armies are going somewhere else, the citizens have some other struggles regarding neighboring countries, when will this Bollywood love story with Pakistan end?' What did Kangana say about Naseeruddin Shah? In fact, reacting to Piyush Mishra's statement on Naseeruddin Shah, Kangana Ranaut wrote on her Instagram story on Tuesday, The truth is that everyone is someone's dog. The truth is, everyone is loyal to someone. But I take pride in guarding and fighting for the nation that feeds me. Naseer Sahab earns his livelihood here, yet champions the cause of a neighboring country. Honestly, in today's world, being compared to a dog is actually a compliment, given how rare true loyalty and affection have become. It is far better to be a loyal dog than a cunning fox like Naseeruddin. What was Naseeruddin Shah's statement? Actually, talking about the initial silence of celebrities on the protest of the Cockroach Janata Party in Delhi, Naseeruddin Shah had said to The Wire, 'Celebrities will speak when their conscience tells them to do so. There is a saying that a dog with a bone in its mouth cannot bark. As soon as the bone falls from its mouth or its teeth break, then it will bark.' ...........

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Playback singer Kumar Sanu has revealed his experiences with the underworld in the 90s. In an interview given to Lallantop, Kumar Sanu told that music directors Nadeem and Anu Malik had taken him to sing at a birthday party in Dubai, where underworld don Dawood Ibrahim was also present. Later when pictures were published in newspapers, he understood the seriousness of the matter. Apart from this, he had also sung at gangster Abu Salem's show. Despite police warnings and threats of arrest, he went to sing citing his compulsion. Sang a song in front of Dawood in Dubai
Kumar Sanu revealed that music director Nadeem had taken him to Dubai. He was only told that he had to sing at someone's birthday party. Dawood Ibrahim was sitting in front with his family there. Anu Malik was also present at that event. Sanu said that Dawood had requested his favorite songs to be sung on stage. At that time, he had no idea whose show he had come to. When his photo was published in newspapers after returning to India, he got scared about what he had done. After that meeting, he never met Dawood again. Police warning about Abu Salem's show, still went to sing
Sharing an incident related to gangster Abu Salem, Sanu said that some people had demanded money from him. Sanu refused to give money and said that if there was any work or show, he could sing. After that, he went to Dubai to sing at one of Abu Salem's shows. Before going, a call came from the police station advising him not to go there. Police officers had said that if he went, he would be arrested. To this, Sanu said that he is a singer and singing is his compulsion, so the police should provide him security. Even without getting security, he went, performed and returned safely. Sanu spoke about underworld funding in Bollywood
Regarding the connection between Bollywood and the underworld in the 90s, Kumar Sanu said that during that era, most of the film funding came from the underworld. Whoever invested the money ruled the industry. Sanu said that he never tried to delve too deep into these matters and always kept himself away from such issues. He only focused on his work, which is why he remained safe and no one's attention fell on him. Sanu has sung 20 thousand songs Kumar Sanu started his career with the Bangladeshi film 'Teen Kanya'. However, the credit for bringing Sanu to Hindi films goes to Jagjit Singh. He offered Kumar Sanu to sing a song in the film 'Aandhiyan'. Jagjit Singh introduced him to Kalyanji Anand and it was at his suggestion that he changed his name from Kedarnath Bhattacharya to Kumar Sanu. Sanu has sung around 20 thousand songs. He has sung many excellent songs like 'Dil Ka Aalam...' (film 'Aashiqui', 1990), 'Dil Ka Rishta..' (film 'Dil Ka Rishta', 2003), 'Raja Ko Rani Se...' (film 'Akele Hum Akele Tum', 1995), 'Pardesi Pardesi...' (film 'Raja Hindustani', 1996). Sanu has sung songs in about 75 films for music director duo Nadeem-Shravan. Apart from this, he has sung songs in 60 films for Anu Malik, 30 films for Jatin-Lalit and 25 films for Rajesh Roshan.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Mallika Sherawat is once again making the headlines with her boldest claim yet. On The Traitors 2, the ‘Murder’ actress said Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise has a crush on her and even messages her on social media. Some of the contestants were having discussions about crushes and love. One of the fellow contestants, Aditya Kulshrestha, asked Mallika whether she had ever had a crush on someone. She replied that, instead, "everyone" had a crush on her and then named Tom Cruise. Mallika claimed that Tom Cruise personally messaged her and said that if she had her phone with her, she could have shown the videos he allegedly sent her. She also referred to times when they had partied together. However, these remain Mallika's claims. There has been no independent confirmation from Tom Cruise about the alleged messages or their relationship. Mallika is known for stealing the spotlight, and now she is in the discussion regarding this new claim. But long before she spoke about Tom Cruise on a reality show, Mallika had already built a reputation for making headlines with her bold choices, outspoken views, and unconventional career. ‘Murder’ made her a sensation Mallika gained recognition from Murder in 2004, which changed her career. Starring opposite Emraan Hashmi, Mallika played Simran, a married woman involved in an extramarital relationship. The film became a major success, and Mallika's bold performance became the biggest talking point. She was widely discussed for her bold looks and scenes. But fame also brought criticism. Her choice of bold roles made her a frequent target of judgement and trolling. Mallika later said that she was often treated differently because of the films she chose to do. ‘I was shamed for my bold looks’: Mallika Mallika has spoken several times about how society judged actresses for their on-screen choices. In an interview with The Indian Express, she said that people often assumed actresses were "easy" simply because they had romanced men on screen. She also said that she was shamed because of the bold films she had done and that people felt they could take liberties with her because of her screen image. Mallika argued that women in the film industry should be judged for their work rather than the characters they play. She also supported the #MeToo movement and said that more women needed to occupy important positions in the film industry. Mallika has spoken about how being an actress with a bold image affected her personal life as well. She claimed that people even questioned whether she could be a suitable wife because of the characters she played on screen. She even worked with Jackie Chan in ‘The Myth’ Mallika's ambitions were not limited to Bollywood. In 2005, she appeared alongside Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan in the international film The Myth. She played an Indian woman named Samantha and shared screen space with Chan. Her appearance in the film attracted attention in India because it allowed Mallika to work in an international production at a time when very few Indian actresses were getting such opportunities. For an actress who had been criticised heavily for her Bollywood image, the international project was another important milestone. ‘Producer wanted to fry an egg on my belly’: Mallika Mallika has also shared some uncomfortable experiences from her time in the industry. During an appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, she recalled that a producer once suggested frying an egg on her belly to show how "hot" she was. The anecdote became another example of the kind of objectification she said actresses faced in the industry. Mallika has consistently maintained that women should not be judged or treated differently simply because of the roles they play. Her equation with Emraan Hashmi also made headlines Mallika and Emraan Hashmi's pairing in Murder became one of the most talked-about screen pairings of the early 2000s. However, their relationship was not always smooth. The two reportedly had a fallout after the film and did not remain in regular contact for years. Their equation became a talking point again when they met after nearly two decades. Mallika later said that they had moved past their differences. The reunion also showed how much time had passed since Murder made both actors major talking points in Bollywood. Over the years, Mallika worked in Hindi films as well as international projects. She appeared in films including Pyaar Ke Side Effects, Welcome, Hisss and Politics of Love. She also continued to make appearances at international events and remained one of the Indian actresses most willing to speak openly about sexuality, gender and women's choices. Now, Mallika is back with ‘The Traitors 2’ Mallika is currently appearing as a contestant on The Traitors 2, hosted by Karan Johar. The reality show brings together celebrities from films, television, music, social media, and other fields. The contestants are divided into secret groups of Faithfuls and Traitors, with strategy and deception forming the core of the game.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ranbir Kapoor's statement has come out regarding the criticism of the VFX shown in the teaser and trailer of the film 'Ramayana', which is being made under the direction of Nitesh Tiwari. In an interview given to 'Collider', the film's lead actor Ranbir Kapoor, director Nitesh Tiwari, and co-producer Namit Malhotra have responded to the trolls. In a recent interview with ‘Collider,’ the team behind the upcoming epic ‘Ramayana’ addressed the widespread criticism surrounding the film's visual effects. Lead actor Ranbir Kapoor, director Nitesh Tiwari, and co-producer Namit Malhotra spoke out to defend their project against the online backlash that followed the release of the teaser and trailer. Addressing the negative feedback on the graphics, Ranbir suggested that viewers are prematurely judging the VFX by watching the trailer on mobile screens and low-bandwidth internet connections. The makers also clarified that the visual effects are still being finalized, urging audiences to reserve their judgment and experience the film's true scale in IMAX 3D. 'People start understanding AI by watching trailers on the phone'
Ranbir Kapoor said that people who don't have knowledge of computer graphics think that everything has been made solely with AI. In reality, countless hours and years of hard work go into preparing any scene. Ranbir stated that from the very beginning of the project, Nitesh Tiwari and Namit Malhotra sit in visual effects meetings, even working to get the sky's color right. He believes that impressing today's audience with computer graphics has become a very difficult task. Millions of dollars spent for the big screen experience
Namit Malhotra, co-producer and visual effects expert of the film, said that people are not experiencing the visuals on the right screen and in the right environment. When the same visual is seen in 3D in IMAX, people's opinion changes. According to Namit, makers are spending millions of dollars to provide the best big-screen experience, but people start finding flaws by watching it on mobile phones with poor internet connection. A small mistake is being exaggerated
Director Nitesh Tiwari stated that his team is still finalizing the visual effects work. It took two and a half to three years to complete some special sequences of the film. Nitesh said that when a person watches a work with the sole intention of finding flaws, the years of effort of the entire team are overlooked, and even a small oversight is presented as a very big deal. Nami Malhotra's company DNEG has won 8 Oscars
Amidst criticism, Nami Malhotra's visual effects company DNEG has maintained a strong track record. This company is a British visual effects company operating under Nami's parent company 'Prime Focus'. DNEG has so far received a total of 8 Oscar awards in the Best Visual Effects category. This includes major Hollywood films like Christopher Nolan's 'Inception', 'Interstellar', 'Tenet', as well as 'Blade Runner 2049' and 'Dune'. The film is made on a budget of ₹4,000 crore  The film 'Ramayana', being directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is one of the most expensive films in Indian cinema. Its total budget is said to be around ₹4,000 crore. The film is being produced jointly by Namit Malhotra and South star Yash. Apart from Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, many other big actors will be seen in important roles in the film. Since the teaser release, there has been a buzz among the audience about the film.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Court Orders Investigation into Lakhs-Worth Theft in Ajmer</h2>
<p><strong>Ajmer:</strong> Ramganj police have finally registered a First Information Report (FIR) and initiated an investigation into a significant theft case in Ajay Nagar. This action comes after a court order, following allegations of inaction by the local police.</p>
<p>The incident involves the alleged theft of computers, cash, and other valuable items from two rented shops. Manoj Kumar Tilokani, the complainant, has accused Girdharilal, his wife Kavita, son Lokesh, daughter Yogita, and several others of carrying out the theft.</p>
<h2>Details Emerge from the Complaint</h2>
<p>According to the complaint, Manoj Kumar and his brother Kishore Kumar have been tenants in the Ajay Nagar shops for approximately 32 years. They operate D.K. Enterprises, a business specializing in internet and computer services, from these premises.</p>
<p>The theft reportedly occurred during the night of June 9-10. The accused allegedly broke the locks of the shops and made off with computers, CPUs, wooden counters, aluminum doors, ₹5-6 thousand in cash, and other goods. The stolen items were loaded onto a trolley and taken away.</p>
<h2>CCTV Footage and Estimated Loss</h2>
<p>Upon reaching their shops the next morning, the brothers discovered the broken locks. Reviewing CCTV footage, they observed four to five individuals actively involved in the theft. The victims estimate their total loss from the incident to be around five lakh rupees.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> In India, if police fail to register an FIR, a person can approach the Superintendent of Police (SP) or even directly file a complaint with a Judicial Magistrate, who can then order the police to register an FIR and investigate the matter.</div>
<h2>Victim's Fight for Justice</h2>
<p>Despite providing a formal complaint and the crucial CCTV footage to the Ramganj police, the victims claim no action was taken initially. This alleged lack of response compelled the aggrieved brothers to appeal to higher authorities. When that too proved futile, they were left with no option but to seek recourse from the judiciary.</p>
<h2>Court Intervenes, Police Register FIR</h2>
<p>The court, recognizing the gravity of the matter as a criminal offense, directed the police to investigate the case under Section 175(3) of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). Following this judicial directive, the Ramganj police officially registered the case on August 11 and have now commenced their investigation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>RAS Officer Bharatraj Gurjar Back in Ajmer, Past Controversy Resurfaces</h2>
<p>Ajmer is buzzing with news of a significant administrative change. RAS officer Bharatraj Gurjar, who found himself in the spotlight nearly two years ago due following a public spat with local MLA Anita Bhadel, has now been reassigned to Ajmer once more. He steps into the role of Deputy Commissioner at the Ajmer Municipal Corporation as part of a large-scale state government reshuffle.</p>
<p>This major administrative overhaul, impacting 183 RAS officers across the state, comes just ahead of the upcoming local body elections. Ajmer, in particular, has seen several key administrative positions change hands.</p>
<h2>The Past Dispute: A Quick Recap</h2>
<p>Bharatraj Gurjar first made headlines about two years back when he was serving as the Deputy Commissioner at the Ajmer Development Authority (ADA). A controversy erupted involving MLA Anita Bhadel. Back then, in November, the MLA had leveled serious allegations against Gurjar during a public hearing, specifically regarding his actions in sealing a gas godown.</p>
<p>Following the complaint and the ensuing public discussion, Gurjar's zone was changed, and he was eventually transferred out of Ajmer. His re-posting to the city now brings that old incident back into the public discourse.</p>
<h2>Other Key Administrative Changes in Ajmer</h2>
<p>The reshuffle hasn't just brought Gurjar back to Ajmer; it has also introduced several other new faces and shifted responsibilities within the city's administration. Narendra Kumar Meena, who served as Ajmer's ADM City, has been transferred to Malpura. In his place, Praveen Kumar Gugarwal has been appointed as the new ADM City.</p>
<p>The vacant Deputy Commissioner position at the Ajmer Development Authority has now been filled by Ashok Kumar. Additionally, Divya Soni has been assigned as Assistant Collector in Ajmer. Other significant appointments include Dharmendra Verma as Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) in Sawar, Sunil Meena as SDO in Bhinay, Mohan Chaudhary as SDO in Pisangan, and Archana Bugalia as SDO in Arai.</p>

<media:keywords>Farmers, Ajmer, Protest, Tractor Rally</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Farmers' Tractor March Towards Ajmer Blocked by Police</h2>
<p>A significant tractor rally by farmers, numbering 96 tractors, attempting to enter Ajmer city was intercepted and stopped by police near Lohagal. The farmers, who have been protesting for the past 20 days at Singla Dam in Rupangarh, were en route to submit a memorandum to the Ajmer Collector.</p>
<p>The rally faced a robust police presence at Lohagal, falling under the Shastri Nagar police station jurisdiction. Authorities had set up barricades, deploying around 100 police personnel to prevent the farmers from proceeding further into the city. JCB machines and dumpers were also positioned at the site to reinforce the blockade.</p>
<h2>Former MLA Joins Standoff as Talks Begin</h2>
<p>Upon receiving news of the rally, former Pushkar MLA Naseem Akhtar Insaf promptly arrived at the scene. Meanwhile, Rupangarh Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Ramkumar Tada initiated discussions with the protesting farmers, attempting to find a resolution to their long-standing demands.</p>
<p>The core of the farmers' protest revolves around the cancellation of a land award concerning agricultural land within the Singla Dam's catchment area. Farmers assert that approximately 2500 bighas of their land were awarded to the Irrigation Department back in 1993-94 during the dam's construction, without their prior knowledge or consent.</p>
<h2>Decades-Old Land Dispute Resurfaces</h2>
<p>Farmers only became aware of this land award recently, during the ongoing process of bringing water to the dam. This revelation triggered their formal dharna, which commenced on July 25. The issue escalated after previous assurances failed to yield concrete results.</p>
<p>On August 2, Water Resources Minister Suresh Singh Rawat had reportedly met with the farmers, promising to present their demand for the award's cancellation before the cabinet. However, the farmers are now insistent on a written and concrete solution, unwilling to settle for verbal assurances alone.</p>
<p>As of now, discussions between the police, local administration, and the farmers are ongoing. The situation remains tense but under control, with authorities focused on de-escalating the standoff peacefully.</p>

Rhea interviewed Salman Khan Rhea also recalled interviewing Salman Khan for the first time while working as an MTV VJ. She said the other members of the team were hesitant to interview him because they were scared of the actor, so she was given the opportunity instead.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[It was a star-studded Bollywood gathering where cricket took center stage, but this time, the conversation went far beyond boundaries and wickets. Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi is set to captain a team on the pitch, where every run scored will directly translate into a meal for the needy. RCL Season-4 promises a beautiful blend of sports, entertainment, and social responsibility, a tournament where victory is measured not just by the trophy, but by the lives touched and hunger alleviated. The official announcement for the Restaurant Cricket League (RCL) Season-4 was made in Mumbai, amidst a glittering turnout of entertainment industry stars. While actors typically grab headlines for their films, shoots, or new projects, this initiative tells a different, more heartwarming story. Rakesh Bedi, who recently made waves with his performance in the film Dhurandhar, will step out from behind the camera to lead the 'RCL Superstars-11' as their captain. However, this league is not just about celebrities, bats, and boundaries. RCL Season-4 is associated with the 'Hunger-Free India' campaign. The tournament, which will be held in New Delhi this October, carries the key message: '10 Runs = 100 Meals'. This means that every 10 runs scored on the field will not only update the scoreboard but will also help provide food to 100 needy people. This time, every run scored by a batsman will help put food on someone's plate. Arvind Kumar, the founder of RCL and the 'Hunger-Free India' campaign, stated that this initiative was started to use cricket's popularity for social welfare. He mentioned that while millions of people struggle to get enough food, a large amount of edible food is wasted. Therefore, food should reach the plates of the needy instead of going into the dustbin. From farmers to the deaf women's cricket team on the field Teams from different sections and regions of society will participate in RCL Season-4. These include teams of transgender people, the Indian Women's Deaf Cricket Team, farmers, influential personalities, chefs, Delhi Police, and Delhi Public School Indirapuram. A team of friends led by Chef Ratna Tamang from Nepal will also be part of the competition. Former Indian cricketer Atul Wasan is also associated with this initiative. He said that the biggest feature of RCL is its social objective. In cricket, runs, records, and averages are usually discussed, but here every run can become a means of food for the needy. Farmer and influential personality Jugaadu Kamlesh informed that farmers from Indian villages will also take to the cricket field this time. He stated that farmers feed the nation, and now those very farmers will play as part of this campaign against hunger. Many people from the film industry, including actors Raza Murad, Sunil Pal, Bindu Dara Singh, Shahbaz Khan, and Arun Bakshi, were present at the event. The objective of RCL Season-4 is not just to win the competition. According to the organizers, this time the runs scored on the field will also convey a message against hunger, food waste, and for social responsibility. The real victory in this competition will be when, through cricket, food reaches the plates of as many needy people as possible.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has targeted senior actor Naseeruddin Shah. In a social media post, Kangana called Naseeruddin Shah a 'fox' and wrote that he eats from this country but fights for the neighboring country. This controversy started over the silence of Bollywood artists regarding student protests in the country. Naseeruddin Shah had compared artists who remain silent to dogs with bones in their mouths. After this, actor Piyush Mishra raised the issue of lathicharge on students in Jharkhand and questioned Naseeruddin, asking why he is silent now. Kangana has expressed her views in support of Piyush Mishra's statement. Shared Piyush Mishra's post and wrote - Loyalty is rare
Kangana Ranaut shared a report of Piyush Mishra's statement on her Instagram story. Kangana wrote that the truth is that everyone is someone's dog, but she is proud that she guards and fights for the country whose bread she eats. Kangana further wrote that being called a dog is a compliment in today's times, because loyalty is rarely seen now. She would prefer to be a dog rather than becoming a fox like Naseeruddin Shah. Controversy started with Naseeruddin Shah's 'dog with bone' remark
This controversy began with an old statement by Naseeruddin Shah. When Naseeruddin was asked about big actors not speaking up on student protests happening across the country. In response, Naseeruddin had said that when the soul of artists awakens, then they will speak. Referring to a saying, he had said that a dog with a bone in its mouth cannot bark. As soon as the bone falls from the mouth or the teeth break, they will start barking. Piyush Mishra reached Jharkhand protest In Jharkhand's capital Ranchi, students' protest against examination fraud and paper leaks continues. On the 16th day of the demonstration, actor and singer Piyush Mishra arrived at the dharna site at Jaypal Singh Munda Stadium. He sat among the candidates and supported them. While talking to the media, Piyush Mishra said that he came here after watching the students' interviews and seeing the pain in their eyes. During this, he also sang the famous song 'Aarambh Hai Prachand' from his film 'Gulaal', which brought enthusiasm throughout the premises. In a conversation with the media, Piyush Mishra explained the reason for coming to Ranchi. He said that he has no other motive for coming here. He had seen interviews of protesting students on social media. Seeing the pain, suffering and tears in the students' eyes, he could not hold himself back. As soon as he got two days free, he came straight to Ranchi. He has also mentioned providing financial assistance for the protest.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Shreya Kalra is currently in the spotlight after winning Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2. She lifted the trophy after a 35-day journey on the show and also took home a cash prize of ₹1 crore. Her journey was filled with arguments, tasks, friendships and controversies, but she managed to emerge as the winner. Shreya says no to ‘Bigg Boss’ After her victory, fans started wondering if Shreya would next enter Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 20. However, the influencer has made it clear that she is not planning to join another reality show as a contestant right now. Speaking on her Instagram channel, Clock It With Shreya, she said her Lock Upp experience was mentally exhausting, and she needs a break from such shows. Open to hosting or mentoring Although Shreya has ruled out entering Bigg Boss as a contestant, she has not closed the door completely. She said she would be excited to host, mentor, or even become a gang leader on a reality show. For now, however, she wants to stay away from another high-pressure contestant-based show. Her journey started with dance and social media Shreya’s journey in entertainment began before reality television. She started creating digital content and became known for dance, fashion, lifestyle, and entertainment videos. Her online presence helped her build a following and eventually opened doors to television and reality shows. She later expanded her work to YouTube and podcasting. TikTok helped her gain attention Shreya began creating content on TikTok around 2018, posting dance, lip-sync, and fashion videos. When TikTok was banned in India in 2020, she shifted her focus to platforms such as Instagram and YouTube. This helped her continue building her digital audience and establish herself as a content creator. ‘Roadies Revolution’ gave her a reality TV break Shreya made her reality television debut with MTV Roadies Revolution in 2020. She won the first-ever live audition of the show and secured a place in the Roadies journey. She later entered the show as a wildcard contestant and was part of Nikhil Chinapa’s gang. Although her Roadies journey did not take her to the finale, the show gave her wider recognition. A viral dance video made her a bigger internet name Shreya also made headlines in 2021 after a dance video filmed at a zebra crossing in Indore went viral. She was later booked by the police over the video. The incident brought her considerable attention online and became another important moment in her journey as a social media personality. She expanded beyond reels Over the years, Shreya did not limit herself to short videos. She moved into podcasts, hosting, and other entertainment projects. She also started Don’t Spill Too Much, a YouTube podcast where she speaks with personalities from the entertainment and digital space. The podcast became another part of her identity as a creator. Shreya hosted ‘Playground’ Shreya also took on hosting duties for Playground, a gaming reality show. She presented Seasons 3 and 4 of the show alongside other presenters. The fourth season featured personalities including Elvish Yadav, Munawar Faruqui, Mythpat and Uorfi Javed in mentor and judge roles. This experience gave Shreya the chance to move from contestant to host. Is Shreya dating Rishab Jaiswal? Shreya's personal life has also attracted attention online. She has frequently collaborated with content creator Rishabh Jaiswal, and their on-screen chemistry has sparked dating speculation among fans over the years. Recently, older videos featuring the two resurfaced after Shreya's comments inside Lock Upp 2 renewed public interest in her personal life. However, neither Shreya nor Rishabh has publicly confirmed being in a relationship. ‘Lock Upp 2’ changed her reality show journey Shreya entered Lock Upp 2 as an influencer and reality-show personality but soon became one of the most discussed contestants. Her strong opinions and frequent arguments made her a major part of the show’s drama. She also performed well in several tasks, which helped her stay in the competition. She became the winner after a tough journey Shreya eventually won Lock Upp Season 2, taking home the ₹1 crore prize. Her victory marked a major change in her reality-TV journey, from a former Roadies contestant and digital creator to the winner of a major streaming reality show.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Community Vigilance Takes Center Stage in Ajmer's Vijay Raje Scindia Nagar</h2>
<p>AJMER: Residents of Vijay Raje Scindia Nagar Colony, situated off Makarwali Road in Ajmer, have taken proactive measures to safeguard their community. Faced with a persistent rise in unethical activities, the colony members have organized themselves into nightly patrols, becoming a shining example of community vigilance not just in Ajmer city but across the district.</p>
<p>The colony, home to a modest two to three dozen houses, sees its residents uniting every night to patrol the entire area. This collective effort stems from a growing concern over outsiders frequently entering the colony late at night. These individuals often park their vehicles and engage in public consumption of alcohol, alongside other illicit activities.</p>
<h2>Persistent Challenges Despite Police Presence and Warning Signs</h2>
<p>The movement of people involved in various unethical activities has become a daily occurrence in Vijay Raje Scindia Nagar Colony. This constant influx has compelled residents to protect their families and properties through their own initiative. Even with the Krishnaganj police conducting their own night patrols in the area, the problem persists.</p>
<p>In a further attempt to deter miscreants, residents have prominently displayed warning boards throughout the colony. However, these measures have yet to significantly curb the unwelcome presence of criminal elements. The residents' efforts highlight a critical need for more decisive action from law enforcement.</p>
<h2>A Call for Stronger Police Intervention</h2>
<p>The ongoing situation points to a concerning lack of fear among criminal elements towards the police in this particular area. Despite the combined efforts of the community and existing police patrols, the issue remains unresolved. Residents are now urging the local police force to implement more stringent measures to tackle these persistent problems effectively.</p>
<p>This self-driven initiative by the Vijay Raje Scindia Nagar residents underscores a broader demand for enhanced security and a stronger police presence to ensure the safety and peace of mind for the community.</p>

<media:keywords>He, has, lost, his, mind:Govinda’s, wife, Sunita, lashes, out, after, seen, with, actress, Komal, says, ‘What, low, standard’</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Govinda was spotted with actress Komal Rani recently, prompting a paparazzi to ask his wife, Sunita Ahuja, if the duo had kicked off promotions for a new film. Sunita’s reaction, however, was surprisingly blunt. Invoking a well-known proverb, she replied, "When destruction is near, one's intellect works against itself." She went on to suggest that Govinda had lost his mind, adding, "His intellect has been corrupted, which is why he does all this. What can I even say now?" Meanwhile, when she was asked that Govinda is being called 'Cheater No. 1' on social media, Sunita said that this question should be asked to Govinda's fans. When I speak, everyone trolls me. I want Govinda's fans and the media to answer this. Don't ask me. I have no interest in it, and his fans will tell you. She further added that when I speak the truth, everyone abuses me, so now those who are watching should tell whether Govinda is right or I am, and I don't want to talk about this. Let everyone go to hell. Sunita also said that if he had to do something, he should have done it with standard, what kind of cheap standard is this. The standard he had before, this is not a standard at all. This is not Govinda's standard. Govinda spotted with co-actress Govinda was recently spotted at the airport with actress Komal Rani Swarnakar. Let us tell you that Sunita had said some time ago that she hates the name Komal. In an interview given to Miss Malini, Sunita had talked about Govinda's affair rumours and said that mistakes happen in youth, but hearing all this at the age of 63 is not right. Sunita had said, 'This name is a bit messed up. I hate the name Komal. There's a Komal, X Y Z, whoever it is. I hate her.' Komal to make Bollywood debut with Govinda Govinda is making his Bollywood comeback after seven years and is also launching Komal in the film, which is being produced by him. There are also reports that Komal may appear in Govinda's second film, Duniyadari. In July, Govinda introduced Komal to the media at a press conference for his upcoming film Rupa. He praised her performance and said that after watching the film, audiences would consider her a good actress. Govinda recently responded to allegations made by his wife, Sunita Ahuja, about his alleged affairs. Speaking to ANI about Sunita's remarks, Govinda said: She abuses me very lovingly, and I even eat from her hands. I believe that wherever people are and whatever role God has given them, if they weren't there, we couldn't have succeeded. Govinda said: ‘Is it necessary to make allegations to create distance?’ Govinda also appeared to suggest that Sunita's candid comments about him had helped her gain attention. He said: There are many things that are not expressed. Is it necessary to make allegations to create distance? But people believe this is an easy way out. He further questioned whether people need to criticize their own family members to achieve success. Govinda said that Sunita sometimes praises him and sometimes criticizes him, adding that he sees more love in her words. Sunita had said: ‘Govinda had many affairs’ Sunita Ahuja recently appeared as a contestant on Lock Upp 2, where she spoke about Govinda's alleged affairs. She said, "In love, you should be able to tolerate everything. Chi Chi (Govinda) had many affairs in his youth. Back then, I ignored it, but I won't now." Govinda and Sunita got married in 1987 Govinda and Sunita Ahuja got married in a private ceremony in 1987. By then, Govinda had already established himself as a Bollywood star. The couple kept their marriage a secret for nearly two years, reportedly to avoid affecting Govinda's career. They later made their marriage public after the birth of their daughter, Tina Ahuja. They also have a son, Yashvardhan Ahuja.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Municipal Dumper Targeted in Ajmer Theft</h2>
<p>Ajmer witnessed a brazen act of theft as an unknown group of miscreants targeted a municipal corporation dumper, making off with two batteries and approximately 5,000 rupees in cash. The incident reportedly took place on Monday night, right in front of the city's prominent Daulat Bagh.</p>
<p>The theft came to light on Tuesday morning when the dumper driver, Gopal Sen, arrived at the spot. He found the vehicle's windows shattered and the valuable items missing. Sen promptly reported the crime to the authorities.</p>

<p>Gopal Sen, who has been working as a dumper driver for the Ajmer Municipal Corporation for about three years, explained his routine. His job involves collecting city waste and transporting it to designated disposal sites. On Monday night, he parked the dumper as usual near Daulat Bagh before heading home.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[In the 1990s, Mumbai was terrified of the underworld. Even rich businessmen and famous movie stars were scared of getting threatening phone calls from gangsters. During this time, a Bollywood actor was also getting these scary calls. This went on for about one and a half years. The actor ignored the calls and tried to stay quiet. But one day, the gangster went too far. He threatened to shoot the actor's father. This was the breaking point. The actor had ignored the threats to his own life, but he could not tolerate a threat to his father. He lost his patience. He shouted back at the gangster, used strong words, and spoke to him in his own tough language. He responded to the gangster in his own language, abused him and said - I have more money than you and more connections too. So never think that I will get scared. This actor was Bollywood's 'Anna', meaning Suniel Shetty, and the gangster was Hemant Pujari. Today, on Suniel Shetty's 65th birthday, let's learn about some such unheard stories of his life Gave training to police at the age of 15 Suniel Shetty told in an interview to Lallantop that when he was 13-14 years old, he was so influenced by Bruce Lee's films that he decided to learn martial arts. Suniel had mentioned that during that period he also played cricket, but to make himself stronger and more agile, he started training in martial arts. The result of continuous hard work and dedication was that at just 15 years of age, his sensei (teacher) entrusted him with the responsibility of training other students. After this, soldiers of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) also started coming to him for training. Not only this, he also used to train Maharashtra Police personnel in fitness and running. Suniel had mentioned that he used to run 20 to 30 kilometers with the soldiers and conduct rigorous exercises in sand and water. Pasted posters of his first film on the streets himself Suniel Shetty's first film 'Arju' was shelved after being approximately 90-95 percent complete. After that, his second film also started and stopped. After two consecutive projects getting stalled, he finally got the opportunity to debut in Bollywood with 'Balwaan'. During the film 'Balwaan', there wasn't a big promotion budget. Therefore, he himself used to paste the film's posters on Mumbai's streets along with his restaurant employees. In an interview given to Lallantop, Suniel had revealed that Balwaan was successful at the box office. The audience liked the film, but some film critics heavily criticized his acting. A famous critic even called him a 'wooden doorknob' in his review. Not only that, he also wrote that instead of working in films, Suniel Shetty should go back to his restaurant and sell idli-vada. Suniel Dutt had expressed displeasure regarding election campaigning Last year on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Suniel Shetty revealed that once Sanjay Dutt agreed to campaign for elections at a friend's request. However, the funny thing was that the leader he was going to campaign for was from the opposition party and was contesting against his father Suniel Dutt. To this, Sanjay Dutt had clarified with a smile, 'I forgot.' Suniel Shetty further revealed that later he was sent to campaign in place of Sanjay. When Suniel Dutt came to know about this, he called Suniel Shetty home and said, 'Son, I understand your friendship, but you should have thought about me too.' To this, Suniel Shetty had said that at that time only one thought came to his mind - 'Your son didn't think, what should I think!' Worked in the film 'Border' at mother-in-law's insistence 'Border' is counted among Suniel Shetty's most famous films. However, Suniel had initially flatly refused to work in this film. In an interview given to Lallantop, Suniel Shetty revealed that at that time JP Dutta had a different image in the film industry. People used to say that he was very rude during shooting and did not hesitate to scold or get angry with the artists. After hearing all this, Suniel had made up his mind that he would not work with such a director. He felt that if someone insulted him or abused him on set, it would become difficult for him to work. Therefore, he refused to do the film. Meanwhile, his mother-in-law explained to him that before trusting anyone's words, he should listen to the film's story himself. On his mother-in-law's advice, Suniel met JP Dutta. He listened to the film's story and finally said yes to the film Border. Ajay Devgn often teases him and Akshay Kumar about this habit. Suniel had told in an interview to Lallantop, "Ajay Devgn often says there are only two milkmen in the film industryone is Akshay Kumar and the other is Suniel Shetty. Early in the morning it seems as if these two are the ones who go out to supply milk." Challenged the gangster himself on underworld threat In the 90s, Suniel Shetty received threats from the underworld. Suniel Shetty had revealed that at that time, because his surname was 'Shetty', the underworld thought that by intimidating him, they could also extort weekly payments from other Shetty businessmen. Gangster Hemant Pujari and his men continuously called his home, office, and manager to issue threats. This continued for about one and a half years. One day, Hemant Pujari called and threatened that he would shoot Suniel Shetty's father who went for morning walks. Hearing this, Suniel Shetty lost his temper. He responded to the gangster in his own language. Suniel told him, "I have more information about you than you have about yourself. Where your sisters live, where your brothers are, where your relatives are... I know everything. I have more money than you and more connections too. So never think that I will be scared. What will you achieve by shooting a 70-80 year old elderly person?" Suniel Shetty had revealed that he had security, so the entire conversation was recorded. When the Mumbai Police heard the recording, they explained to Suniel that arguing with such gangsters could be dangerous. The police said that these people are sometimes under the influence of drugs or anger and can attack anyone on just one order. However, Suniel Shetty said that he had been silent for one and a half years, but when the matter reached his father, he could not remain quiet. Had a junior artist dressed up like the Chief Minister During the TV show 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai', actress Mahima Chaudhry had revealed that Suniel Shetty plays a lot of pranks on set. When Mahima Chaudhry arrived in Hyderabad for the first time for an outdoor shoot of the film 'Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar', Suniel Shetty had played a funny prank on her. Mahima had mentioned that Suniel had gotten a junior artist prepared to look exactly like the Chief Minister. Special clothes were ordered for him. There was a convoy of several white Ambassador cars. Police vehicles, commandos, walkie-talkies, and complete VIP arrangements were there. Mahima had no idea about anything. Then Suniel told her that she had to meet the Chief Minister for an important meeting. He also asked Mahima what points regarding the industry should be discussed in the meeting. Mahima started preparing for the meeting with complete seriousness and arrived ready to meet the Chief Minister. After this, some junior artists started raising slogans of "Jai Chandrababu Naidu". Following which everyone started shouting. Then Suniel touched the feet of the supposed Chief Minister, after which Mahima also bowed down and greeted. Later, this turned out to be a prank. Mahima Chaudhary said - Suniel Shetty had put a snake in the car Meanwhile, Mahima had said in the same show that on the very first day of shooting, Suniel had put a snake in her car. However, in the show, Sunil's statement was that he had not put a snake in the car. The snake had somehow entered inside the car's bonnet. Suniel had explained that he himself is afraid of snakes and if he had seen the snake, he would have run far away from there. Later, on Kapil Sharma's show, Suniel had revealed that Mahima still believes to this day that he was the one who put the snake in the car.
A body part was taken from Suniel Shetty's photo The year 1998. In Uttar Pradesh, the notorious gangster Shri Prakash Shukla had become a major challenge for the police. The police and the newly formed UP STF were engaged in searching for him, but the biggest problem was - they couldn't even find his correct photograph. IPS Rajesh Pandey had revealed that Shri Prakash had also gotten wind of the fact that the police were searching for his photo. He started keeping an eye on the photographers in his area. Whichever photographer he suspected of having given his picture to the police, he would threaten them. One photographer was even dragged out of his shop and shot dead on the street. After this, such fear spread in the area that people became afraid of even keeping Shri Prakash's photo with them. On the other hand, there was also pressure on the STF. People would raise questions that when the police didn't even have his photograph, how would they catch him? Meanwhile, the STF learned from informers that Shriprakash occasionally visits his sister and brother-in-law's house in Lucknow. The team reached there, but the family refused to provide any information about him. Then they had a conversation with his young nieces who were present in the house. The girls told them that their uncle had come to their birthday party and they had photographs from that day. They took out some pictures kept in a book and showed them to the police. Finally, the STF got the real photograph of Shriprakash Shukla. But now there was another problem. If his real picture came out from that family's house, Shriprakash could find out where the photo came from and he could harm the family. STF officers thought of finding a way so that the source of the picture would never come to light. In the Hazratganj area of Lucknow, postcards and pictures of film stars were available at that time. There, IPS Rajesh Pandey's eyes fell on a picture in which actor Suniel Shetty was standing almost in the same way as Shriprakash Shukla was standing in a group photo. Then a very unique jugaad (workaround) was done. The body part was taken from Suniel Shetty's picture and Shriprakash Shukla's face was fitted on it. The picture was prepared in such a way that at first glance, it would appear to the viewer as Shriprakash Shukla's own photo. In this way, Shriprakash Shukla's picture was made public. The interesting thing was that later when someone called Shriprakash and told him that his photo was printed in the newspaper, after seeing the picture he said that he had never worn such a denim shirt in his life and he was astonished.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Yash’s much-awaited film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has finally released its trailer, but instead of only receiving praise, the film has also faced criticism online. The trailer, released on 8 August, gives a bigger look at Yash’s character, the action, the dark world of the film, and his equation with Kiara Advani. The film is directed by Geetu Mohandas and also stars Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth Yash’s exposing scene becomes a talking point One of the scenes that caught netizens’ attention shows Yash in a revealing look. The scene quickly became a topic of discussion on social media, with some users questioning the choice and presentation. The criticism comes after the film’s earlier promotions had already created controversy over intimate and bold scenes. Users compare Yash with Ranbir’s ‘Animal’ Some social media users also compared Yash’s look and overall screen presence in Toxic with Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. A section of viewers called the film an “Animal copy” and said that Yash appears to be following the same dark, violent and intense image that Ranbir had in the 2023 film. However, these are social media reactions and do not establish that Toxic is actually inspired by or copied from Animal. Why is ‘Toxic’ facing criticism? The latest criticism is not completely new. Toxic has been facing mixed reactions since its earlier promotional material. In January, the teaser drew criticism over intimate visuals, with some viewers calling them inappropriate. A complaint was also filed over the content shown in the teaser. Kiara’s intimate scenes also face trolling Kiara Advani has faced a separate wave of trolling because of her intimate scenes with Yash. The criticism became stronger after the release of the song Tabaahi, which showed the two actors in romantic and intimate moments. Some users questioned Kiara for doing such scenes despite being married to Sidharth Malhotra and becoming a mother. Sidharth stands by Kiara Amid the trolling, Sidharth Malhotra has remained supportive of his wife. Kiara has previously spoken about how Sidharth helps her deal with online criticism. She recalled his advice to not take such comments seriously and to let people say what they want. The trolling has also raised questions about double standards The criticism against Kiara has also led to a debate about double standards.  Yash is also married and a father, but much of the criticism over the intimate scenes has been directed at Kiara.  British actor Benedict Garrett, who is part of Toxic, openly questioned this difference in treatment. He pointed out that both Yash and Kiara are actors doing their jobs. Huma Qureshi also defended Kiara Huma Qureshi, another actor from Toxic, also spoke against the trolling. She called the criticism “sick” and “disgusting” and defended both Yash and Kiara. She also suggested that the film itself would eventually answer the criticism once audiences watch it. Not everyone disliked the trailer Despite the criticism, the trailer has also received positive reactions. Some viewers praised its visuals, action sequences and darker world.  Online discussions show that opinions remain divided, with some calling the trailer interesting while others feel the earlier promotional material focused too much on intimate content. Yash calls ‘Toxic’ an Indian film At the trailer launch, Yash also spoke about the film’s identity. He said he does not want Toxic to be seen only as a Kannada, Tamil or Telugu film, but as an Indian film. The statement reflects the makers’ aim to take the film to audiences across the country. Film releases on August 26 Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is scheduled to release worldwide on August 26, 2026. Until then, the debate around Yash’s look, the film’s bold scenes and the trolling of Kiara is likely to remain a major part of the film’s pre-release buzz.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Govinda has responded to his wife Sunita Ahuja's remarks about his alleged affairs. Sunita has previously spoken publicly about his alleged relationships with several women. In response, Govinda suggested that speaking negatively about someone publicly is not necessary for achieving success or recognition. In an interview with ANI, Govinda was asked about Sunita's claims regarding his alleged affairs. The actor said, “She abuses me with great love, and I also eat from her hands. I believe that the people who are where they are, and whatever role God has given them, have contributed to our success. If they were not there, we would not have been successful.” Govinda said - It is not necessary to make allegations to create distance Govinda hinted that Sunita got stardom after speaking openly about him. He said, "There are many things that are not expressed. Is it necessary to make accusations to create distance? But people believe it's an easy way out." He questioned, "Is it necessary to badmouth your own people for success? This is a bit easier. Sunita praises, then criticizes. I see more love in this." Sunita had said - Govinda had many affairs Sunita Ahuja recently became a contestant on 'Lock Upp 2'. During the show, she talked about Govinda's alleged affairs. She had said, "In love, you should be able to tolerate everything. Chi Chi (Govinda) had many affairs in his youth. I ignored them then, but I won't now." Govinda spotted with actress Komal, Sunita had said - I hate name Komal Sunita Ahuja has accused Govinda of extra-marital affairs and cheating on several occasions. Amidst affair rumors, Govinda has been spotted at the airport with actress Komal Rani Swarnkar, whose name his wife Sunita has also mentioned. Sunita had recently said that she hates the name Komal. Sunita had accused him of cheating and said, "I hate the name Komal." Just a while ago, Sunita, in an interview given to Miss Malini, spoke about Govinda's affair rumors, saying that mistakes happen in youth, but hearing all this at the age of 63 is not right. When the interviewer revealed that her name was Komal, Sunita reacted strongly. She said, “This name is a bit problematic. I hate the name Komal. There's one Komal, X Y Z, whoever it is. I hate her.” Komal set to make her Bollywood debut with Govinda Govinda is set to make his Bollywood comeback after seven years and is reportedly launching Komal through a film produced by him. There are also reports that Komal will appear in Govinda's second film, Duniyadari. In July, during a press conference for the upcoming film Roopa, Govinda introduced Komal to the media and praised her. He said that after watching the film, audiences would recognise her as a talented actress. Sunita says aspiring actresses need ‘sugar daddies’ In the same interview, Sunita spoke about young women trying to enter the film industry. She alleged that some aspiring actresses need a “sugar daddy” to support their expenses and claimed that some try to trap or blackmail people to get ahead. Sunita also said that Govinda, who is 63, would not engage in such behaviour, pointing out that he has a wife and children. She added that while people may make mistakes in their youth, they should not repeat them at this stage of life. Govinda and Sunita married in 1987 Govinda and Sunita Ahuja got married in a private ceremony in 1987, when Govinda was already an established Bollywood star. The couple kept their marriage private for around two years, reportedly to avoid affecting his career. They later made their marriage public after the birth of their daughter, Tina Ahuja. The couple also have a son, Yashvardhan Ahuja.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Pushkar, Pasture Land, PIL, Rajasthan High Court</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>High Court Seeks Government Response on Pushkar Pasture Land Diversion</h2>
<p>Jaipur/Ajmer: The Rajasthan High Court's Jaipur bench is now hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the commercial use and diversion of significant pasture land in the Pushkar region. The petition aims to safeguard the rights of mute animals, farmers, and villagers across Rajasthan. Following the filing, the High Court has issued notices, asking the government for its response on the matter.</p>
<p>The PIL details a controversial order issued by the Ajmer District Collector on June 3, 2025. This order reportedly transferred approximately 166.7551 hectares of pasture land to the Ajmer Development Authority (ADA). This land, located in the Pushkar and Budha Pushkar areas, including Kanas, Goyla, and Nedajaliya, is officially recorded as 'charagah' (pasture) in revenue records.</p>
<h2>Concerns Over Commercial Exploitation and Livelihoods</h2>
<p>According to the petitioners, a final layout plan for a farm house scheme has already been issued for this land, paving the way for its sale to private individuals. This move, they argue, creates a severe crisis for local villagers, livestock owners, and the mute animals who depend on these grazing lands for survival.</p>
<p>The PIL was filed by former Pradhan Ashok Singh Rawat and regional leader Mahendra Singh Rawat. Advocates Vivek Parashar and Javed Khan are representing the petitioners in court. They contend that diverting public and communal land, specifically pasture land, for commercial activities goes against the fundamental interests of the rural populace and their livestock.</p>
<p>The petition also alleges that the commercial exploitation of this land includes provisions for generating revenue for the government. The legal challenge underscores the importance of preserving such community resources for their intended purpose, highlighting the broader implications for ecological balance and rural livelihoods.</p>
<h3>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</h3>
<p><strong>Q1: What is the core issue of the PIL filed in the Rajasthan High Court?</strong><br>A1: The PIL challenges the commercial diversion and use of approximately 166.7551 hectares of designated pasture land in the Pushkar and Budha Pushkar areas, which was transferred to the Ajmer Development Authority (ADA) via a controversial order.</p>
<p><strong>Q2: Who filed the PIL and what are their primary concerns?</strong><br>A2: The PIL was filed by former Pradhan Ashok Singh Rawat and regional leader Mahendra Singh Rawat. Their primary concerns revolve around protecting the rights of mute animals, farmers, and villagers, who face a crisis due to the loss of essential grazing land for commercial farm house schemes.</p>

Speaking about the silence of celebrities on the protests of the Cockroach Janta Party, Naseeruddin Shah told The Wire, "Celebrities will speak when their conscience tells them to do so.

On the 16th day of the protest, actor and singer Piyush Mishra reached the protest site, Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium. He sat among the candidates and supported them.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Mini Mathur is currently in the spotlight after winning the reality show The Alliance, taking home the winner's trophy and a cash prize of ₹50 lakh. While her recent victory has brought her back into the limelight, Mini has been a familiar face in the entertainment industry for years. She is also known for her close friendship with Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif, a bond that has continued for nearly two decades. Katrina Kaif is known for keeping her personal life away from the spotlight, but there are a few people from the film industry who have remained close to her for years. One of them is television host and actor Mini Mathur. Their friendship has continued for years and has also connected Katrina closely with Mini's husband, filmmaker Kabir Khan. The three share a bond that goes beyond professional relationships. How did Katrina and Mini become friends? Mini Mathur became close to Katrina through her association with Kabir Khan. Kabir and Katrina worked together on films such as New York, Ek Tha Tiger and Phantom. Over the years, their professional association turned into a strong personal bond, with Kabir himself describing Katrina as more than a friend and saying she is like family to him. Mini is more than just Kabir Khan's wife Although Mini is married to Kabir Khan, her friendship with Katrina has its own identity. The two are often seen sharing pictures and birthday wishes on social media. Katrina has also openly expressed her affection for Mini, showing that their bond is not limited to their husbands' professional connection. Katrina's birthday wish for Mini Their friendship has often appeared on social media. On Mini's birthday in 2023, Katrina shared a throwback picture of the two along with their friend Karishma Kohli. She wished Mini warmly and described her as a source of joy and sunshine. Mini later shared Katrina's post and responded with a playful message, showing the comfortable equation they share. Their friendship goes back many years The bond between Katrina and Mini is not a recent one. In 2023, reports highlighted that the two had been friends for around 15 years. Mini also shared a birthday post for Katrina in 2023, recalling their long friendship and describing it as easy-going, fun and full of love. Their friendship has remained strong despite their busy careers and changing phases of life. Mini and Kabir attended Katrina's wedding Mini Mathur and Kabir Khan were among the small group of close friends who attended Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal's wedding in Rajasthan in 2021. Their presence was another indication of how close the couple had become to Katrina. Mini was also seen at events connected with the wedding celebrations. Kabir calls Katrina 'family' Kabir Khan has himself spoken about his relationship with Katrina. In an interview with Humans of Bombay, he said that Katrina is much more than a friend and that she is like family. He also pointed out that his bond with Katrina goes back to the time of New York and has grown through the years spent together, beyond their three films. Katrina and Mini also share a travel bond The friendship is not limited to film events and social media posts. Katrina has shared vacation pictures with Mini and their mutual friend Karishma Kohli. In 2024, Katrina used a picture from their Maldives holiday in a birthday post for Mini, once again showing their close friendship away from the cameras. Mini is part of Katrina's close circle Katrina's friendship with Mini also reflects how the actress has built a close circle outside the usual Bollywood party scene. Reports and social media posts have shown Katrina spending time with Mini, Kabir and their mutual friends. The group has remained connected through personal celebrations, holidays and important moments. Other Bollywood friendships]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Preity Zinta has dismissed claims that she ignored Aamir Khan during the promotions of Batwara 1947. Reacting to the post, Preity called it “clickbait content” and clarified that she had not even seen Aamir at the time. A paparazzi account had shared a video from the film's promotional event. In the clip, Preity can be seen stepping out of her vanity van and asking the photographers, “One minute, guys, where do I need to go?” After the photographers gave her directions, Preity walked towards the other side. Aamir was standing near his vanity van at the time, but Preity did not appear to notice him. The video led to speculation that Preity had deliberately ignored Aamir. Sharing the clip, the paparazzi page wrote in the caption, “Oh no, did Preity Zinta ignore Aamir Khan?” Preity later rejected the claim and clarified that the video did not show the complete context. After the video surfaced, social media users began speculating about a possible rift or awkwardness between the two actors. Preity later responded to the post and criticised the way the video had been presented. She called it “clickbait content” and clarified that she had not seen Aamir because she was in a hurry to shoot some scenes before catching a flight for the promotion of Partition 1947. Preity further clarified that she did not appreciate the attempt to create negativity around the incident. She said that if the intention was to promote negativity, people should not expect her to stop and pose for pictures. She also made it clear that she has “a lot of love and respect” for Aamir and felt that the post was unnecessary. Preity Zinta will soon be seen in the upcoming film Bantwara 1947. The film also stars Sunny Deol, Karan Deol, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal and Abhimanyu Singh. It is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan under Aamir Khan Productions, along with Aparna Purohit. The film is based on the backdrop of the partition of India. The film's story revolves around a family grappling with violence, displacement, and family conflict. 'Bantwara 1947' will be released on August 14, 2026]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[If the planned release strategy goes ahead, Ramayanam will be released on a scale far larger than several recent Indian blockbusters. Pushpa 2: The Rule reportedly reached around 12,000-13,000 screens worldwide, while RRR was released across approximately 10,000-11,000 screens. The proposed international rollout of Ramayanam is also being compared with major Hollywood releases. Avatar: The Way of Water was reportedly released across around 52,000 screens globally. If the makers achieve their target, Ramayanam could surpass that figure. Film to release in 50 languages using AI technology The makers are also planning to take Ramayanam to audiences across the world in around 50 languages. DNEG's AI technology, Brahma AI, developed by Namit Malhotra, is being used for the process. A glimpse of the technology was shown in the English lip-sync trailer. The technology allows the original voices of the actors to be retained while their lip movements are synchronised with the translated dialogues. Overseas release planned two days before India Ramayanam is scheduled to release in India on November 8. The film will reportedly arrive in international markets on November 6, giving overseas audiences an early chance to watch the much-awaited film.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Harshvardhan Rane and Sanjeeda Shaikh have sparked dating rumours with their vacation pictures having the same backgrounds. The eagle-eyed fans spotted the backgrounds on social media and began questioning: Are Harshvardhan Rane and Sanjeeda Shaikh actually dating? The similarities were enough for social media to start discussing their relationship once again. Importantly, neither Harshvardhan nor Sanjeeda has confirmed that they were travelling together or that they are dating. The current speculation is based on the matching vacation pictures and their history of being linked to each other. Their relationship rumours began during ‘Taish’ Harshvardhan and Sanjeeda worked together in Bejoy Nambiar's 2020 film Taish, which was released both as a film and a series. Reports about their alleged relationship started circulating during the making of the project. At that time, Sanjeeda was already separated from her husband Aamir Ali, which added further interest to the speculation. The two, however, have never publicly confirmed that their professional association turned into a romantic relationship. Sanjeeda had earlier addressed the dating rumours Sanjeeda spoke about the speculation surrounding her and Harshvardhan in 2021. Rather than directly confirming or denying the relationship, she said that people tend to talk whenever two actors work together. She explained that such rumours do not bother her as long as people also pay attention to her work as an actor. They had sparked the dating speculation earlier, too They were later spotted holidaying around the same time, including a much-discussed trip to Gujarat's Gir Forest in 2023. Now, their latest Pune getaway pictures have once again made fans curious about their equation. Neither actor posted a picture with the other. However, fans noticed that they appeared to be travelling in the same safari jeep. Sanjeeda also shared pictures from the trip with her daughter, Ayra. Her post showed her enjoying the forest experience with her child, while Harshvardhan shared his own pictures from the same trip. The similarities between their posts immediately triggered speculation that they had gone on the holiday together. Harshvardhan also refused to let the rumours bother him In 2023, Harshvardhan was directly asked about his alleged relationship with Sanjeeda after their Gir Forest vacation pictures went viral. He said the rumours did not bother him. According to the actor, journalists had a job to do and could write about him, while he had his own job as an actor. Sanjeeda divorced Aamir in 2021, couple has a daughter through surrogacy Sanjeeda's personal life has received considerable attention over the years, particularly after her marriage to actor Aamir Ali ended. The couple married in 2012 and later welcomed daughter Ayra through surrogacy. Their separation became public in 2020, and they were divorced in 2021. Sanjeeda was given custody of their daughter. This is why the 2023 Gir Forest vacation attracted additional attention. Sanjeeda was seen enjoying the trip with Ayra, while Harshvardhan was also apparently present during the same safari. Aamir has spoken publicly about the difficult period following their separation and his relationship with his daughter. In 2022, he said he had been deeply affected by the changes following the end of his marriage. Harshvardhan Rane's earlier relationship with Kim Sharma Before his name became associated with Sanjeeda, Harshvardhan was in a publicly acknowledged relationship with actress Kim Sharma. Notably, Kim has worked in some of the movies, including Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan-starring “Mohabattein.’ The two were linked in 2018, and Harshvardhan later confirmed that they were indeed in a relationship. Their romance, however, did not last. The couple parted ways in 2019. Harshvardhan later spoke about their relationship and breakup, while Kim subsequently dated tennis player Leander Paes. Because Harshvardhan had previously been open about his relationship with Kim, fans have often compared his earlier romance with the current speculation surrounding Sanjeeda. Who is Sanjeeda Shaikh? Sanjeeda began her career in television and became a familiar face through shows such as Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka, Qayamath, Ishq Ka Rang Safed and Kya Dil Mein Hai. She later moved increasingly towards films and digital projects. Her film credits include Taish, Kaali Khuhi, Fighter and other projects. She has also appeared in music videos, including the romantic song ‘Toh Aa Gaye Hum’, featuring Jubin Nautiyal. Her performance in Fighter alongside Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone brought her to a much wider Hindi-film audience. Who is Harshvardhan Rane? Harshvardhan Rane made his Hindi-film debut with Sanam Teri Kasam in 2016. Although the film did not become a major theatrical hit at the time, it developed a strong following over the years and turned Harshvardhan into a popular name among romantic-film audiences. He subsequently appeared in films such as Paltan, Haseen Dillruba, Taish, Tara vs Bilal, Dange and Savi. His performance in Sanam Teri Kasam continues to be particularly popular among fans, while his later projects have allowed him to explore action, thriller and dramatic roles. Social media reacts: ‘They have been together for years’ vs ‘Let them live’ The latest posts have triggered a wide range of reactions online. Some users are convinced that the repeated holiday sightings and matching pictures indicate that there is more to their relationship than friendship. A section of fans has also said that the two look good together and questioned why they do not simply confirm their relationship. Others have urged people not to jump to conclusions based on social-media photographs. Some users have also brought up Harshvardhan's past relationship with Kim Sharma and Sanjeeda's marriage to Aamir Ali while discussing the latest rumours. The broader reaction, however, shows that the pair continues to attract curiosity whenever they are seen together. For now, the pictures may have sparked just fresh speculation, but they do not confirm a relationship.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress Mrunal Thakur and Indian cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal are currently making headlines amid dating rumours. The speculation began after the two were reportedly spotted near a café in Mumbai’s Bandra, with a video of the sighting going viral on social media. The reports have also drawn attention to their age difference, with Yashasvi being around 10 years younger than Mrunal. However, neither of them has officially confirmed a relationship. Mrunal has now seemingly addressed the rumours herself. Reacting to the speculation, the actress urged people to “relax” and refrain from spreading claims on social media without any confirmation. Dating rumours started with a viral video Discussions about Mrunal Thakur and Yashasvi Jaiswal's rumored relationship began at the end of July. A video quickly went viral on social media, showing Mrunal leaving a cafe in Mumbai's Bandra West area. Following this, various claims began to be made, linking the video to Yashasvi Jaiswal. Some social media users even started calling it proof of their dating. However, no such date was confirmed in the information available at that time. Questions raised about the video Based on the viral clip, it was claimed on social media that Mrunal and Yashasvi arrived at the same place and later left separately. This fueled the rumours further. However, some social media discussions also claimed that the viral clip was created by combining different videos. Therefore, considering the video as concrete proof of their relationship was not correct. Now Mrunal herself has responded Amidst these ongoing rumours, Mrunal Thakur has now reacted on social media. She clearly expressed her displeasure over the viral claims and wrote- 'Bro relax' meaning, 'brother, relax a bit.' The style of her reaction indicates that she is not taking such speculations seriously. She also gave a message to social media users to avoid drawing conclusions about someone's personal life without confirmation. She told Gen Z - Make videos on important issues In her response, Mrunal also addressed Gen Z, meaning young social media users. She hinted that social media should not be used only to spread rumours about celebrities' personal lives. Young people should make videos on important and necessary issues. In this way, Mrunal tried to shift the conversation towards other serious issues instead of fueling dating speculations. Yashasvi is 10 years younger Mrunal Thakur was born in 1992, while Yashasvi Jaiswal was born in 2001. According to this, there is an age difference of about 9-10 years between the two. This age difference also became a major reason for the discussion on social media regarding their alleged dating. However, more important than the age difference is the fact that neither of them has made any official announcement regarding their relationship. Yashasvi, India's young cricket star Yashasvi Jaiswal is among the emerging players in Indian cricket. He made his international cricket debut in 2023 and subsequently made a special mark with his batting in Test cricket. He has been a part of Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. Even before the news of his alleged relationship with Mrunal, Yashasvi has been in the news for his cricket career. Mrunal's career also constantly in discussion On the other hand, Mrunal Thakur has made her mark in Bollywood as well as South Indian films. After working in films like 'Love Sonia', 'Super 30', 'Batla House', 'Jersey' and 'Sita Ramam', she made her identity with different types of characters. In 2026, she appeared in films like 'Do Deewane Shehar Mein' and 'Dakaait: A Love Story'. Currently, rumours have been put to rest After Mrunal's reaction, it is clear that the ongoing speculations about their relationship, based on the viral video, have not received official confirmation. Mrunal, in her reaction, also dismissed these rumours light-heartedly instead of fueling them. Therefore, for now, the news of dating between Mrunal Thakur and Yashasvi Jaiswal should only be seen as social media speculation.]]> </content:encoded>

<p>Out of 655 clerks appointed in Alwar district through that process, a staggering 302 are currently under a cloud. These employees have been given a 15-day window to provide satisfactory explanations regarding their appointments. Failure to do so could lead to immediate dismissal orders.</p>
<h2>Alwar Collector Issued Strict Directives</h2>
<p>The state government has issued strict directives to both the Alwar Collector and the District Council CEO to ensure swift and thorough action. This move highlights a firm stance against corruption in public service recruitment, signaling a zero-tolerance approach to such fraudulent practices.</p>
<p>The investigation has revealed a range of alleged malpractices that marred the 2013 recruitment. Several key issues have come to light, pointing to a systemic failure in the appointment process.</p>
<ul>
<li>**Fake Certificates:** Many employees are accused of securing their positions using fraudulent computer and experience certificates.</li>
<li>**Double Experience Benefit:** A total of 144 clerks are suspected of having unfairly benefited twice from their experience during the selection process.</li>
<li>**Lack of Computer Qualification:** Thirty-seven employees reportedly do not possess the mandatory computer qualifications required for the clerk position.</li>
<li>**Below Cut-off Appointments:** Disturbingly, five individuals were allegedly appointed despite scoring below the official cut-off marks for the examination.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Over 200 Officials Under Scrutiny, FIRs Recommended</h2>
<p>The probe isn't limited to the appointed clerks alone. More than 200 officers and employees who were part of the 2013 recruitment process are also under the scanner. Their roles in facilitating or overlooking these irregularities are being thoroughly investigated, suggesting a broader nexus of involvement.</p>
<p>Further, recommendations have been made to file First Information Reports (FIRs) against 18 specific employees. This suggests a potential criminal dimension to the alleged fraud, moving beyond administrative action to legal proceedings.</p>
<p>This widespread investigation underscores the government's commitment to ensuring fairness and transparency in public employment. The outcome of the 15-day review period for the 302 clerks will be closely watched as the administration seeks to rectify past wrongs.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Major Concerns Emerge Over Rajasthan's Free Medicine Scheme</h2>
<p>A disturbing report has surfaced from Rajasthan, casting a shadow over the state's ambitious Chief Minister's Free Medicine Scheme. Investigations reveal that numerous critical medications, including heart drugs and life-saving injections, have repeatedly failed quality tests, raising serious questions about patient safety.</p>
<p>On average, an alarming eighteen drug samples are found to be substandard every single month. This consistent failure rate points to significant negligence in the quality control process for medicines supplied under the scheme.</p>
<h2>Crucial Medications Found Substandard</h2>
<p>Among the failed samples are essential drugs vital for patient care. Nifedipine tablets, a common medication for heart conditions, did not meet quality standards. Even more concerning is the finding that Betamethasone, a life-saving injection, was also deemed substandard.</p>
<p>These failures are primarily attributed to the drugs not meeting dissolution standards during testing. This means the active ingredients may not be released into the body as intended, rendering the medication ineffective or even harmful.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> The Chief Minister's Free Medicine Scheme in Rajasthan was launched to provide essential medicines free of cost to patients visiting government health facilities, aiming to reduce the financial burden on the poor.</div>
<h2>Widespread Failures Across Drug Categories</h2>
<p>The problem isn't confined to just heart medications and injections. Several other crucial drug categories have also been impacted. Antibiotics like Cefixime-Ofloxacin and Cefixime with Lactic Acid Bacillus, along with Metronidazole, have failed quality checks.</p>
<p>Pain relievers, including Tapentadol for severe pain, and allergy medication Levocetirizine, also featured on the list of failed products. Even Formaldehyde Solution, a common disinfectant, was found to be substandard after quality assessment.</p>
<p>These findings underscore a significant lapse in ensuring the efficacy and safety of drugs distributed to the public through a vital health initiative. The repeated failures demand immediate and stringent action to safeguard the health of countless patients relying on the scheme.</p>

<p>He further affirmed the party's resolve to contest the municipal corporation elections with full vigor. The objective, he noted, is to establish a Congress board in the corporation, driven by the hard work of its workers and the unwavering support of the public.</p>
<p>Congress spokesperson Shailesh Gupta highlighted the tremendous enthusiasm among party workers for the campaign. He confirmed that similar door-to-door outreach efforts would be extended to other wards across the city in the coming days.</p>
<h3>Key Leaders and Workers Join the Outreach</h3>
<p>The extensive public contact campaign saw the participation of numerous Congress office bearers, workers, and local citizens. Among those present were Dairy President Ramchandra Chaudhary, Dharmendra Rathore, Mahendra Singh Ralawata, Draupadi Koli, Bhupendra Rathore, Fakhre Moin, Mahendra Chaudhary, Naurat Gurjar, Hemant Jodha, Ishwar Tahliyani, Shailesh Gupta, Chandu Paliwal, Vishal Singh Chauhan, Mukesh Panwar, Shailendra Agrawal, Amit Garg, Priyanka Chaudhary, Surendra Gurjar, Kamal Bairwa, Mukesh Dhenwal, Manish Sain, Hariprasad Diwakar, Laxman Bhaya, Kuldeep Prajapati, Kartam Meena, Ghanshyam Pancholi, Sarvesh Parik, Pankaj Jodhawat, Arjun Jodhawat, Ashok Doraya, Radheshyam Pawar, Rahim Khan, Sumit Mittal, Devendra Chaudhary, Vasudev Chandwani, Chandresh Suniya, Manish Sen, Vikas Chauhan, Chhotu Singh Rawat, Suresh Rathore, Mahendra Jodha, Umesh Sharma, Nukul Khandelwal, and Sumit Mittal, alongside many others.</p>

He had been undergoing treatment in the hospital for the past one month. Played the role of Ashwatthama in Mahabharat Pradeep Rawat started his acting career with B.R. Chopra's TV show Mahabharat. He was seen in the role of Ashwatthama. Pradeep then worked in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, and Bhojpuri films. In Hindi cinema, he appeared in films like Lagaan, Sarfarosh, Ghajini, and Grand Masti. He entered South Indian cinema with the Telugu film Sye and went on to play many memorable villain roles. His double role in the Tamil film Ghajini (2005) was highly appreciated. Later, he also reprised the same role in the Hindi remake Ghajini. Additionally, he also acted in the Kannada film Parody, the Malayalam film China Town, the Bengali film Hero 420, and the Bhojpuri film Crack Fighter. Aamir Khan was scolded by his sister
The role of Deva in the film Lagaan was first offered to actor Mukesh Rishi, but due to his busy schedule with several South Indian films, he did not do it.

He called Pradeep's home landline around midnight, at 12 AM. At that time, Pradeep was not home. His sister picked up the phone. Hearing 'This is Aamir Khan speaking,' she thought it was a prank call. She scolded him, saying, 'Why are you being mischievous?'

Aamir called Pradeep to his office the next day, had him sign the film's contract, and gave him a check for the signing amount. This is how he got work in the film Lagaan. Salman did not get Ghajini because of Pradeep Rawat On March 27, 2025, during the press meet for the film Sikandar in Mumbai, Salman was asked if he had indeed been offered Ghajini before Aamir. To this, the actor had said, 'I have also heard that. I heard this from Pradeep. We call him Ghajini. He is my friend. We have done 4-5 films together. He once said, Murugadoss (director of Ghajini) is very disciplined, so sincere, how will Salman work with him, Salman gets very angry.' Salman further said, 'Meaning, he has done 5 films with me, and after that, he says this. After that, I haven't met the poor guy. If I meet him, I will ask him when I ever got angry with him.' Pradeep Rawat had 2 marriages Talking about Pradeep Rawat's personal life, he got married twice. According to an NBT report, his first marriage did not last long and they divorced in about five and a half months. Pradeep Rawat had stated that his first wife had made false accusations against him and his family, although the matter was later resolved.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Saif Ali Khan's sister Saba Pataudi recently revealed that Saif would often take money from her purse and later give the same amount back as a gift on Raksha Bandhan. She shared this on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi's YouTube show. Saif Ali Khan, Soha Ali Khan, and Saba Pataudi spent a large part of their childhood in the Pataudi family palace. However, Soha mentioned that they were never made to feel like they lived a royal life at home. Their father, former cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, taught the children the importance of managing expenses. Soha said that their father emphasized saving electricity at home and would leave yellow Post-it notes reminding them to turn off lights. She also shared that during childhood, they were often not allowed to visit friends' houses because their father believed that petrol should not be wasted unnecessarily. Used to get 100 rupees pocket money During the conversation, Saba Pataudi mentioned pocket money and said that she and Soha used to get 100 rupees. At that time, Saif Ali Khan was studying in England. During this, Soha laughingly said that Saif used to steal money. On this, Saba said in a humorous manner that when she went to England, she used to get 5 pounds, which Saif would often borrow. She also said that many times Saif would take money from her purse and later return the same amount as a gift on Raksha Bandhan. Sisters did not attend Saif's first wedding In the same interview, Soha and Saba revealed that they did not attend their brother Saif Ali Khan's first wedding. Saba Pataudi said that when Saif and Amrita got married, both she and Soha were in school. Soha also mentioned that the wedding happened in a great hurry, so both sisters could not be part of it. Call came from the Principal's office Saba further explained that due to the sudden media reports about the marriage, the school administration had to intervene. According to Saba, she received a call from the principal's office. She was told not to discuss this matter with anyone until it was confirmed. Saba recalled that she was instructed not to tell anyone anything, because this news had appeared in the media and they did not know the truth of it.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[What happens when Spider-Man meets Haryanvi beats? You might be surprised reading about it, but it's for real. Marvel’s latest Spider-Man: Brand New Day promotional video has given a desi twist to the superhero world by featuring Banjaare’s Haryanvi song ‘Barsaat’. Hollywood and Bollywood have crossed paths many times, but every time a familiar Indian song suddenly appears in a Hollywood film or promotional campaign, it surprises the audience. How did the song get featured in the Spider-Man: Brand New Day promotional video? Ahead of the film’s release, Sony Pictures Entertainment India unveiled a special promo featuring ‘Barsaat’, an emotional track by indie Haryanvi duo Banjaare.  The song was selected for a special promotional campaign for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The makers felt that Banjaare’s ‘Barsaat’ matched Peter Parker’s emotional journey after MJ forgets him in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Its themes of heartbreak, loneliness and separation fit the character’s pain, making it a suitable choice for the India-focused promo. This unexpected combination has caught the attention online, showing how Indian songs and music travel globally. Who is Banjaare? Banjaare is a Haryanvi music duo made up of cousins Sumit and Anuj from Sandwa village in Haryana’s Bhiwani district. The two developed an interest in singing from a young age and decided to pursue music seriously during the COVID-19 lockdown. The duo started their own YouTube channel and initially struggled to find success. They released five songs, but none of them gained much attention. Their sixth song, ‘Bairan’, gave them huge fame. Hollywood embraces India’s diverse musical sounds But this is not the first time a Hollywood project has turned to Indian music. Over the years, Hindi, Punjabi and other Indian-language songs have appeared in Hollywood films, trailers and promotional material. From ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ to ‘Barsaat’: India’s music travels worldwide From Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ in Inside Man to Raj Kapoor’s ‘Mera Joota Hai Japani’ in Deadpool, several iconic Indian songs have made unexpected appearances in Hollywood films and campaigns. Graphic-1
Hollywood’s desi music moments ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ used in Inside Man One of the most memorable examples came in Spike Lee’s 2006 crime thriller Inside Man, starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster. The film opens with ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’, the A.R. Rahman-composed song from the 1998 Shah Rukh Khan and Manisha Koirala-starrer Dil Se. The song was used during the opening credits, while a remix featuring Panjabi MC also appeared during the end credits. ‘Mera Joota Hai Japani’ in Deadpool The film featured Raj Kapoor’s iconic ‘Mera Joota Hai Japani’ from Shree 420. The song can be heard while Deadpool interacts with his Indian-origin taxi driver, Dopinder, played by Karan Soni. It was also used at the beginning and end of the film. According to a report at the time, director Tim Miller had first heard the song in a pub in New Zealand and liked it so much that he eventually decided to use it in Deadpool. The cast and crew reportedly liked it as well. ‘Jaan Pehchan Ho’ in Ghost World Another interesting example came even earlier with the 2001 film Ghost World, starring Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson. The film uses Mohammed Rafi’s ‘Jaan Pehchan Ho’, originally from the 1965 Hindi film Gumnaam.  The song’s energetic, slightly surreal quality fitted the film’s unconventional tone, making it more than just a random musical reference. ‘Chamma Chamma’ in Moulin Rouge! Indian music also found its way into Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 musical Moulin Rouge!. It was another example of how Indian rhythms and musical arrangements could fit naturally into a Western production built around spectacle and performance. ‘Mundian Tu Bach Ke’ in The Dictator Punjabi music has also made a strong mark internationally. Panjabi MC’s ‘Mundian Tu Bach Ke’ became a global hit and was later used in the promotional campaign for Sacha Baron Cohen’s 2012 comedy The Dictator. The track’s high-energy sound made it a natural choice for the film’s irreverent marketing. ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ in You Don’t Mess with the Zohan The song’s tune was used in Adam Sandler’s 2008 comedy You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. Its instantly recognisable disco sound fitted the film’s exaggerated comedy and action sequences. The inclusion was particularly nostalgic for Indian audiences who grew up listening to the original. Indian music in The Accidental Husband The 2008 romantic comedy The Accidental Husband, starring Uma Thurman, Colin Firth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, went even further by incorporating several Indian songs. The film featured ‘Chalka Chalka Re’ from Saathiya, ‘Mujhe Rang De’ from Thakshak and ‘Swasame Swasame’ from the Tamil film Thenali. Indian music was woven into scenes involving an Indian family, celebrations and weddings. ‘Urvasi Urvasi’ in Lion Dev Patel’s Lion also featured Indian music. A version of ‘Urvasi Urvasi’, originally from the Tamil film Kadhalan, appears in the 2016 film. The film’s connection with India made the inclusion feel especially relevant, while also introducing a popular Indian track to audiences unfamiliar with its original context. The journey from ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ and ‘Mera Joota Hai Japani’ to a Haryanvi song being used for a Spider-Man promotional campaign shows how dramatically the global reach of Indian music has expanded.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A prayer meet for actor Pradeep Rawat, known for films like Ghajini and Lagaan, was held in Mumbai on Friday evening. Several members of the film industry attended the gathering, including actors Akhilendra Mishra and Mukesh Rishi and comedian Sunil Pal. They paid their respects to the late actor and offered condolences to his family. Son Vikramaditya gets emotional Pradeep Rawat passed away on Tuesday at the age of 74. His last rites were held in Goregaon, Mumbai, on Wednesday. Several celebrities, including Aamir Khan and Raza Murad, attended his funeral. At the prayer meet, Pradeep Rawat's son Vikramaditya became emotional while remembering his father. He thanked everyone for their support and said he could not express his feelings in words. He added that seeing the love and support from people on social media and at the prayer meet made him feel that his father would be happy wherever he was. He also thanked everyone for sharing the family's grief and said their support had brought him great comfort. See funeral pictures- Pradeep Rawat's son Vikramaditya looked emotional during the funeral. According to a report by Hindustan Times, Pradeep Rawat's manager Siddharth Tiwari had stated that the actor was suffering from cancer. The disease had recurred. He had been undergoing treatment in the hospital for the past one month. Played Ashwatthama in Mahabharata Pradeep Rawat began his acting career with B.R. Chopra's television show Mahabharata, where he played the role of Ashwatthama. He later worked across several film industries, including Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali and Bhojpuri cinema. In Hindi films, he appeared in Lagaan, Sarfarosh, Ghajini and Grand Masti, among others. He also entered South Indian cinema with the Telugu film Sye and became known for playing memorable villainous roles. Played a double role in Ghajini Pradeep Rawat's double role in the Tamil film Ghajini (2005) was widely appreciated. He later played the same role in the Hindi remake of Ghajini. Apart from this, he also worked in the Kannada film Parody, Malayalam film China Town, Bengali film Hero 420 and Bhojpuri film Crack Fighter. Aamir Khan's call was mistaken for a prank The role of Deva in Lagaan was initially offered to Mukesh Rishi. However, he could not take it up because of his busy schedule with several South Indian films. The role was eventually given to Pradeep Rawat. Aamir Khan was impressed by Pradeep's performance in Sarfarosh. He called Pradeep's home late at night, around midnight. However, Pradeep was not at home and his sister answered the phone. When Aamir introduced himself, she thought someone was playing a prank and scolded him, saying, "Why are you being mischievous?" Aamir's call was confirmed Later, Aamir made Pradeep's family speak to writer Umashankar Pathak, whom they knew personally. This convinced them that the call was genuinely from Aamir Khan. The next day, Aamir invited Pradeep to his office, where he signed the contract for Lagaan and received the signing amount by cheque. This is how Pradeep became part of the film. Pradeep Rawat revealed why Salman Khan did not do Ghajini During a press meet for Sikandar in Mumbai on March 27, 2025, Salman Khan was asked whether he had been offered Ghajini before Aamir Khan. Salman said he had heard the same story from Pradeep Rawat, whom he affectionately called "Ghajini". He said they were friends and had worked together in four to five films. Salman recalled that Pradeep had told him Ghajini director A.R. Murugadoss was very disciplined and sincere, and joked that Salman might not be able to work with him because he gets angry easily. Salman further said, 'Meaning, he has done 5 films with me, and after that, he says this. After that, I haven't met him since then. If I meet him, I will ask him when I got angry with him.' Pradeep Rawat had two marriages Talking about Pradeep Rawat's personal life, he was married twice. According to an NBT report, his first marriage lasted only around five and a half months before the couple divorced. Pradeep had said that his first wife made false allegations against him and his family, although the matter was later resolved. Later, he met Kalyani Rawat, who is associated with the South Indian film industry. The two dated for some time before getting married in 2006. They have a son, Vikramaditya Rawat, from this marriage.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Government Pushes Biogas Blending as Ethanol Protests Mount</h2>
<p>New Delhi is seeing a flurry of activity on the alternative fuels front. While protests against ethanol blending in petrol continue across the nation, the government has given its nod to the 'Gobardhan' scheme. This new initiative focuses on blending biogas into CNG and PNG, aiming for a 5% mix.</p>
<p>The ambitious Gobardhan scheme, approved by the Union Cabinet under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, carries a budget of ₹23,731 crore. This plan is set to unfold over the next ten years, with the goal of integrating biogas into the country's gas supply.</p>
<h2>Gobardhan Scheme: A Deeper Dive</h2>
<p>Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared details after the cabinet meeting. The scheme is designed to convert agricultural waste, cow dung, organic waste, and other biomass resources into clean fuel and organic manure. Urban gas distribution companies are expected to start procuring biogas under this framework.</p>
<p>The blending targets are set to gradually increase. Starting with three percent in the financial year 2026-27, it will rise to four percent in 2027-28, and then reach five percent from 2028-29 onwards. Minister Vaishnaw highlighted that the Gobardhan scheme's core objective is to boost domestic compressed biogas (CBG) production more than tenfold, significantly strengthening India's energy security.</p>
<h2>Congress Raises Concerns Over Ethanol Blending</h2>
<p>Meanwhile, the debate around ethanol blending in petrol, specifically the E-20 rollout, is heating up. The Congress party has accused the Centre of implementing E-20 in a hurry, allegedly ignoring its potential impact on water resources and food security.</p>
<p>Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh pointed out that while many countries produce ethanol from agricultural residues and other waste biomass, India largely depends on sugarcane, rice, and maize. He noted that sugarcane and paddy alone consume approximately 70% of the country's total irrigation water, raising questions about sustainability.</p>
<h2>Aviation Fuel Clarification: No Ethanol Blending Planned</h2>
<p>Separately, the government has addressed allegations about blending ethanol into Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF). Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu took to social media on Thursday to clarify that there is no proposal or plan to mix ethanol with jet fuel.</p>
<p>This clarification came in response to claims made by AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, who had alleged that the government was preparing to blend ethanol into aviation fuel. Minister Naidu's post firmly stated that reports of ethanol blending in ATF are entirely false.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Major Shift in Rajasthan Local Body Elections: Councillors to Pick City Heads</h2>
<p>A significant change is brewing in Rajasthan's upcoming local body elections. Urban Development and Housing (UDH) State Minister Jhabar Singh Kharra has indicated that Mayors, Chairmen, and Municipal Presidents will no longer be directly elected by the public. Instead, elected councillors will now hold the power to choose these key positions.</p>
<p>This announcement from Minister Kharra, made during a BJP organizational meeting in Sikar, has stirred political circles across the state. It comes even before the Election Commission's official notification for the civic and panchayat polls.</p>
<h3>Why the Change? Preventing Board Conflicts</h3>
<p>Minister Kharra explained that the previous system of direct elections for chairpersons often led to friction. He noted instances where chairpersons and councillors belonged to different political ideologies.</p>
<p>This ideological divide, according to Kharra, resulted in prolonged tussles within the boards, ultimately impacting development work for a full five-year term. The new approach aims to ensure smoother operations and foster a unified vision for urban development.</p>
<p>“For the efficient functioning and development of any urban body, it’s crucial that the board and its head share a common vision and ideology,” the UDH Minister stated. He believes differing political viewpoints hinder decision-making and stall public welfare projects.</p>
<h3>OBC Report and Cabinet Decision Delaying Elections</h3>
<p>Addressing the ongoing delay in local body and Panchayati Raj elections, Minister Kharra pointed fingers at the previous Congress government. He mentioned that in 2021-22, the Supreme Court had directed the completion of a 'triple test' for OBC reservation, but no concrete steps were taken.</p>
<p>Following the formation of the BJP government, an OBC commission was constituted. This commission, with administrative support, began collecting necessary data. Processes like SIR (Social Impact Assessment Report) and census work caused some further delays.</p>
<p>The good news is that the OBC commission submitted its report to Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma on August 5th. This crucial report is now slated for discussion during the state cabinet meeting on August 7th. Only after this meeting will the future course of action for the elections be decided.</p>
<h3>BJP's Clear Message: Loyalty First for Tickets</h3>
<p>During the Sikar meeting, BJP State General Secretary Shravan Singh Bagdi and Divisional In-charge for Local Body Elections Shankar Singh Rajpurohit delivered a firm message to party workers. They emphasized that tickets for the upcoming local body elections would only be granted to dedicated party members.</p>
<p>They reiterated that within the BJP, the organization holds greater importance than any individual post, with workers being the party's ultimate strength. From the national president down to the 'Panna Pramukh' (booth-level in-charge), everyone is considered a worker.</p>
<h3>'Lotus Flower' as the Sole Candidate</h3>
<p>BJP leaders urged officials and workers present at the organizational meeting to set aside individual aspirations. They called for campaigning with the 'Lotus Flower' (BJP's election symbol) as the sole candidate. This strategy is part of the party's broader effort to ensure unity and collective effort, with feedback also collected from various office bearers.</p>

<media:keywords>Rajasthan, Anganwadi, Free Internet, Government Scheme</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rajasthan Anganwadi Workers Get Two Years of Free Internet and Calls</h2>
<p>In a significant move aimed at empowering its frontline healthcare and childcare workers, the Rajasthan government has announced a major relief package for Anganwadi workers across the state. A total of 43,537 Anganwadi workers are set to benefit from this initiative, receiving free data, voice calls, and SMS services for a period of two years.</p>
<p>This substantial provision is designed to ease the burden on workers who often use personal resources for official duties. It ensures they can carry out their departmental tasks seamlessly without worrying about mobile recharge expenses.</p>
<h3>Boosting Digital Operations and Connectivity</h3>
<p>The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Directorate has taken this step as part of the ongoing Poshan Abhiyan (Nutrition Campaign). For this crucial service, Vodafone Idea (VI) has been selected as the official service provider.</p>
<p>The move is expected to significantly accelerate various online operations, especially those related to the Poshan Tracker app. This digital tool is vital for monitoring nutritional outcomes and child development, making consistent internet access indispensable for Anganwadi workers.</p>
<p>Officials believe that by providing dedicated connectivity, the government is not only supporting its workforce but also enhancing the efficiency and reach of its critical welfare programs. It removes a significant financial barrier, allowing workers to focus entirely on their community service.</p>
<h3>A Welcome Relief for Dedicated Workers</h3>
<p>Anganwadi workers play a pivotal role in rural and semi-urban areas, delivering essential services ranging from early childhood education to supplementary nutrition and health referrals. Their work often requires constant communication and data entry, making reliable internet access a necessity rather than a luxury.</p>
<p>This two-year free service package is being hailed as a much-needed boost, eliminating the need for private mobile recharges for official communications. It underscores the state government's commitment to modernizing its welfare schemes and supporting the dedicated individuals who implement them on the ground.</p>
<h3>?️ Share Your Opinion!</h3>
<p>What are your thoughts on this initiative by the Rajasthan government to provide free internet to Anganwadi workers? Do you think similar steps should be adopted in other states?</p>

<title>Nasirabad Hospital in Crisis: Critical Doctor Shortage Leaves Thousands Underserved</title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Nasirabad's Sub-District Hospital Struggles Amidst Acute Doctor Shortage</h2>
<p>NASIRABAD: The sub-district hospital in Nasirabad is increasingly proving ineffective for serious patients, grappling with a severe scarcity of medical specialists. This critical situation has developed over several years, as numerous doctors have been transferred or retired, leaving a growing patient population with diminishing access to medical expertise.</p>
<p>The hospital currently serves approximately 1500 patients daily, many of whom express frustration over extended waiting times, often stretching for several hours. This prolonged wait frequently compels distressed patients to abandon their visit and seek treatment at private facilities, incurring significant financial strain.</p>
<h2>Empty Posts, Critical Gaps</h2>
<p>Further investigation reveals a startling reality: key positions remain vacant despite the hospital's strategic location near a national highway, which sees frequent accident cases. The absence of both senior and junior surgeons means accident victims must routinely be referred to Ajmer, a critical delay in emergency care.</p>
<p>The specialist deficit doesn't stop there. The sub-district level hospital is also without orthopedic specialists, gynecologists, radiologists, pathologists, and several medical officers. These glaring gaps severely limit the scope of services available to the local community.</p>
<h2>Unused Equipment and Deputed Staff</h2>
<p>Adding to the concern, a dermatologist, despite the general shortage, has been deputed to Jaipur. This leaves local skin patients with no option but to turn to private clinics, further burdening their finances.</p>
<p>Perhaps most strikingly, the hospital possesses all necessary equipment for sonography services. Yet, for years, the machine has remained covered, completely unused due to the lack of a sonography specialist. Patients are left with no choice but to pay out of pocket for these essential diagnostic services at private centers.</p>
<h2>Efforts Met with Inaction</h2>
<p>Local MLA Ramswaroop Lamba and Hospital In-charge Dr. Vinayak Gaud have consistently advocated for filling these vacant specialist positions. However, their efforts appear to be falling on deaf ears, with health department officials and ministers seemingly adopting a 'mute spectator' stance.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Congress Shifts Gears: 'Envelope System' Out for Local Poll Tickets</h2>
<p>The Congress party is making a significant change to its strategy for distributing tickets in the upcoming local body and Panchayat elections. In a move aimed at fostering greater transparency and grassroots engagement, the long-standing tradition of sending empty symbols in 'closed envelopes' is reportedly coming to an end.</p>
<p>This marks a notable departure from previous practices. The party is now focusing on a more dynamic and responsive approach to candidate selection.</p>
<h2>New Formula: Feedback, Local Issues, and Active Organization</h2>
<p>Under the new formula, ticket allocation will no longer be an opaque process. Instead, decisions will be heavily influenced by direct feedback from the ground, the active involvement of the party's organizational structure, and a deep understanding of local issues pertinent to the constituencies.</p>
<p>This shift emphasizes a more democratic and data-driven method, aiming to select candidates who truly resonate with the local populace and understand their specific needs and challenges.</p>
<h2>Extensive Groundwork Underway</h2>
<p>To facilitate this new, feedback-centric approach, the Congress party has already initiated extensive groundwork across various levels. Committees have been actively formed and engaged throughout the state.</p>
<ul>
<li>Approximately 14,000 Gram Panchayat committees have been established. Each of these committees has successfully conducted at least one meeting to gather initial insights and feedback.</li>
<li>For the upcoming local body (Nikay) elections, over 10,000 Ward Committees have been constituted across the state. These committees have recently held their local-level meetings, indicating a robust effort to collect perspectives from urban areas.</li>
<li>Further strengthening the feedback mechanism, meetings of nearly 250 City Congress Committees have also been concluded, providing a comprehensive overview from municipal areas.</li>
</ul>
<p>These widespread consultations underscore the party's commitment to its revamped ticket distribution model, aiming for a more inclusive and effective selection process for the crucial local elections.</p>
<p>Stay tuned to MTTV India News for the latest developments on this political shift.</p>
<h2>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</h2>
<h3>What is the 'envelope system' that Congress is ending?</h3>
<p>The 'envelope system' refers to a traditional method where blank party symbols were sent in closed envelopes, often implying a top-down or less transparent process for ticket distribution without extensive local consultation.</p>
<h3>How will Congress now decide on candidates for local elections?</h3>
<p>Congress will now decide candidates based on direct feedback, the active involvement of its organizational units, and a thorough assessment of local issues, moving towards a more grassroots-oriented and transparent selection process.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Pushkar Gears Up for Grand Five-Day Chaturdashi Pilgrimage; Top Leaders Expected</h2>
<p>Pushkar is all set to host the five-day Chaturdashi Pushkar Aranya Teerth Pradakshina, starting this Saturday, August 8. Organized under the banner of Shri Vedmata Gayatri Trust's Pushkar branch, the event promises a grand inauguration with several state ministers, Members of Parliament, and other public representatives in attendance.</p>
<p>According to Omprakash Agarwal, Chief Manager of Gayatri Trust and Jaunpur In-charge, the pilgrimage will officially kick off at 8 AM on August 8. The ceremony will begin with the traditional worship of Lord Brahma's chariot at Gayatri Shaktipeeth.</p>
<p>A host of distinguished guests are expected to grace the inaugural event. This includes Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devanani, Water Resources Minister Suresh Rawat, Union Minister of State and Ajmer MP Bhagirath Chaudhary, and Rajasthan Heritage Authority Chairman Omkar Singh Lakhawat, among others.</p>
<p>Before the main five-day journey, devotees will spend Friday visiting significant pilgrimage sites. This includes Varah Ghat and Varah Temple, followed by a circumambulation of the sacred Brahma Pushkar Lake.</p>
<h3>The Extensive Pilgrimage Route and Activities</h3>
<p>The core of the event involves a comprehensive pilgrimage covering vast distances. Devotees will undertake a 24 Kosi foot journey (padayatra) and an 84 Kosi chariot journey (rathyatra). These routes will take them through Brahma Pushkar, Madhya Pushkar, Budha Pushkar, and numerous ancient pilgrimage spots.</p>
<p>The journey also includes visits to the revered penance grounds of ancient sages and old temples dedicated to various deities. At each stop along the route, a series of religious and social programs are planned. These include ‘tarpan’ (offerings to ancestors), ‘jalabhishek’ (water oblation), ‘deepyagya’ (lamp sacrifice), and traditional ‘yagya’ (fire rituals).</p>
<p>Beyond the religious aspects, the pilgrimage also emphasizes community service. Programs for cleaning water sources, extensive tree plantation drives, and the establishment of new gardens and groves are on the agenda at various halts.</p>
<h3>Dedicated to Mata Bhagwati Devi's Centenary and Social Initiatives</h3>
<p>Ghanshyam Paliwal, the Yatra Convener, highlighted that this year's Pradakshina holds special significance. It is dedicated to the birth centenary year of Mata Bhagwati Devi. To mark this occasion, Gayatri Pragya Mandals will be established in 24 villages.</p>
<p>Alongside the pilgrimage, a series of social welfare initiatives will be undertaken. These include more tree plantation drives, 'yagya' ceremonies, public awareness campaigns, and programs focused on environmental protection. Pilgrims will also receive crucial messages on water conservation, cleanliness, nature preservation, and the development of pilgrimage sites.</p>
<p>Paliwal noted the long-standing tradition of this event, which has been held for the past 13 years. Over this period, it has connected thousands of devotees with Pushkar's rich religious, cultural, and historical heritage.</p>
<p>The five-day journey will culminate on August 12 at Brahma Ghat. The closing ceremony will feature an 'abhishek' (ritual bathing) of the Pushkar Sarovar, special prayers, and a grand 'Maha Aarti'.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Contractual Staff at JLN Medical College Stage Major Protest Over Unpaid Dues</h2>
<p>Ajmer witnessed a significant demonstration on Friday as computer operators and other contractual employees, working through the Pannadhay agency at Jawaharlal Nehru (JLN) Medical College and Hospital, took to the streets.</p>
<p>Their anger boiled over due to various grievances, primarily the non-payment of their salaries for the past two months, plunging them into severe financial distress.</p>
<h3>Living on the Brink: ₹8,000 Salary Delays Cause Hardship</h3>
<p>Employees highlighted the immense difficulty in sustaining their families and meeting daily expenses when even a modest monthly salary of ₹8,000 is consistently delayed. Many expressed frustration, stating that securing their timely wages often requires them to submit memorandums and issue strike warnings almost every month, only to receive temporary assurances from the administration.</p>
<h3>Allegations of PF, ESI Irregularities and Job Threats</h3>
<p>Protesting workers also raised serious accusations concerning their Provident Fund (PF) contributions, claiming these haven't been deposited for the last eight months. Furthermore, they pointed out ongoing discrepancies in their Employees' State Insurance (ESI) accounts.</p>
<p>Adding to their woes, staff members alleged that demanding their rightful salaries has led to threats of job termination and the implementation of new contracts.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Contractual employment in India is governed by the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, which aims to protect the rights of contract workers, including timely wage payment and social security benefits.</div>
<h3>Demands for Immediate Action and Permanent Solutions</h3>
<p>The agitated employees have collectively called upon the administration to immediately release their outstanding salaries, provide a transparent account of their PF and ESI contributions, and implement a permanent solution to these recurring issues.</p>
<p>They have issued a stark warning: if swift action is not taken, their agitation will intensify, potentially escalating the scale of their protest.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah has taken fans back to their school days with a nostalgic post about Awarapan 2. The pacer recently shared the poster of the recreated song ‘Tera Mera Rishta Continues’ on his Instagram Story and expressed his love for the music from the original 2007 film. Sharing the poster, Bumrah wrote that listening to such songs during his school days made him feel “so cool” and added, “Pure nostalgia.” His post quickly caught attention, especially among fans who grew up listening to the original Awarapan soundtrack. The 2007 film may not have been a major box-office success at the time, but its music and emotional storyline helped it develop a strong fan following over the years. ‘Tera Mera Rishta’ gets a new version ‘Tera Mera Rishta’ was one of the most popular songs from Awarapan. Composed by Mithoon, the original track became closely associated with Emraan Hashmi’s character Shivam Pandit and the emotional world of the film. The song has now been recreated as ‘Tera Mera Rishta Continues (Film Ballad)’ for Awarapan 2. The new version features vocals by Saaj Bhatt and Subodhh Sharma and aims to bring back the emotional feel of the original while giving it a fresh sound. The recreated track is part of the new film’s soundtrack, which has already generated discussion among fans of the first film. Emraan Hashmi returns as Shivam Pandit Awarapan 2 brings back Emraan Hashmi as Shivam Pandit, the character that became one of the memorable roles of his career. The sequel is directed by Nitin Kakkar and stars Disha Patani alongside Emraan. The cast also includes Shabana Azmi, Suvinder Vicky, Puran Gabbi, Aniruddh Rawal, Vijayant Kohli and Atul Kumar. The story once again revolves around love, pain, action and revenge. The trailer gives a glimpse of Shivam’s emotional journey as he faces new challenges and dangers. Disha Patani plays Zara, while Puran Gabbi, Aniruddh Rawal and other actors play important roles in the story. Trailer gets mixed reactions While Bumrah’s nostalgic post has increased interest in the film’s music, the trailer has received mixed reactions from social media users. Some fans are excited to see Emraan Hashmi return as Shivam Pandit and are happy to see the franchise bring back its popular music. Others, however, felt that the trailer relies too heavily on nostalgia. Some viewers also questioned whether the sequel was necessary, especially because the original Awarapan has gained cult status over the years. Despite the mixed reactions, the return of the iconic songs has certainly created curiosity around the sequel. The makers have already released tracks including ‘Yeh Awarapan’, ‘Ve Junoon’ and the new version of ‘Tera Mera Rishta’. When will Awarapan 2 release? Produced by Vishesh Films and presented by Mukesh Bhatt and Vishesh Films, Awarapan 2 is written by Bilal Siddiqui and directed by Nitin Kakkar. The film's music features composers including Mithoon, Jeet Gannguli, Amaal Malik, Ankit Sachdev and Wasif Ahmad, with lyrics by Sayeed Qadri, Rashmi Virag, Akhil Sachdeva and Sachin Singh Chandel. Awarapan 2 is scheduled to release in cinemas worldwide on 14 August, 2026. For fans who have carried the memories of Awarapan and its music since 2007, Bumrah’s post is another reminder of how strongly the film’s songs continue to connect with a generation. Whether the sequel can recreate the same emotional impact remains to be seen.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Soha Ali Khan and Saba Ali Khan recently revealed that they did not attend their brother Saif Ali Khan's first wedding. Both were in school at the time, and the wedding happened in such a hurry that they were not even informed. Their school principal informed them about Saif's wedding after seeing media reports. Additionally, Saba Ali Khan has revealed why she is still single today, after her marriage to a man from Kolkata broke off at the age of 19. Soha and Saba were in school at the time of the wedding Soha and Saba appeared on the latest episode of Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi's show 'Double Date'. During the conversation, Saba Ali Khan revealed that when Saif and Amrita got married, both she and Soha were in school. Soha also mentioned that the wedding happened very quickly, which is why both sisters could not be a part of it. Phone call came from the principal's office Saba further stated that due to the sudden media reports about the marriage, the school administration had to intervene. According to Saba, she received a call from the Principal's office. She was told not to discuss it with anyone until it was confirmed. Saba recalled that she was instructed not to tell anyone anything, as the news had already appeared in the media and they did not know its truth. Saba Ali Khan revealed why she didn't get married Saba Ali Khan has revealed the reasons for not getting married. Saba said that she started receiving many marriage proposals from the age of 18-19, but she didn't marry anyone. During the conversation, Saba said that she never had a boyfriend. At the age of 19, she was almost going to marry a person from Kolkata, to whom she was introduced. However, at that time she was not ready for marriage, so the matter could not proceed. Saba was looking for someone like her father Saba said that as she grew older, she was ready for the idea of marriage, but then she couldn't find anyone who completely matched her. Referring to her late father and former Indian cricket captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, she said that he was an extraordinary person. Saba said that she wanted to marry someone like her father, but she couldn't find anyone like that. Saba has also said that people often ask her if she is really Soha and Saif's sister. Why did Saif and Amrita marry in a hurry? In 1990, Saif Ali Khan was making his debut with filmmaker Rahul Rawail's film 'Bekhudi'. Before launching Saif, Rahul Rawail invited many big actors to do a photoshoot with Saif. Among them was Amrita Singh, who was considered a star at the time. Everyone knew Saif as the son of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore. The first time, Amrita ignored Saif, but then, when Saif put his hand on her shoulder for the photoshoot, Amrita looked at him angrily. Amrita was 12 years older than Saif. One day, after their first meeting, Saif called Amrita's house. Saif asked if Amrita would go out for dinner with him. Amrita refused, saying that she doesn't go out for dinner. When Saif asked about lunch, she again refused. However, Amrita did say that if he wanted, he could come to her house and have dinner together. Saif reached Amrita's house that very day. They both started talking, and during their conversation, a good connection formed between them. They both kissed each other, and with this, Saif also expressed his love for Amrita. Amrita also accepted his proposal. After this, Saif stayed at Amrita's house for two days. This incident was narrated by Saif and Amrita themselves on Simi Garewal's chat show. Two days later, when the producers of his debut film 'Bekhudi' started calling continuously, Saif had to reluctantly leave for the shoot. Saif didn't have money, so he borrowed 100 rupees from Amrita to reach the set. Amrita told him that he could use her car, but Saif refused and left with 100 rupees. Due to repeatedly arriving late on set, Saif was removed from the film 'Bekhudi'. Married into a Nawab family after converting religion, Amrita had to leave the industry In 1991, Saif Ali Khan and Amrita decided one day to get married and got married just 2 days later. To marry into the Nawab family, Amrita changed her religion. Immediately after marriage, Amrita Singh distanced herself from the industry, even though she had offers for many big films and was at the peak of her career. Four years after marriage, Amrita gave birth to her daughter Sara Ali Khan, and then she had a son, Ibrahim Ali Khan. Just a few years after having children, Saif and Amrita started having disputes, and both divorced in 2004.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[She entered India as a controversial reality show contestant and went on to become a Bollywood actor, television host, mother, and entrepreneur. More than a decade later, Sunny Leone is still reinventing herself, but the story behind that transformation is far more complicated than her on-screen image suggests. Before Bollywood knew her as Sunny Leone, she was Karenjit Kaur Vohra, a girl who once dreamed of becoming a nurse. Let's get into the flashback story of her and how Karenjit became Sunny Leone. She was a tomboy in childhood, loved playing street hockey in Canada Born as Karenjit Kaur Vohra on 13th May, 1981, in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, Sunny grew up in a Punjabi Sikh family. As a child, she was a complete tomboy. She loved playing street hockey, taking part in sports, and wasn't really the glamorous girl you might imagine her to be today. Who was Sunny Leone before fame? When her family moved to Southern California, adjusting to a new school and a new life wasn't easy for her. Sunny had no traditional Bollywood background and did not grow up planning to become an actress. A friend suggested that she should try modelling, which eventually introduced her to the adult entertainment industry. She first appeared in magazines and was named Penthouse Pet of the Month in March 2001. ‘My mother broke down in tears after knowing about my profession’ One of the most emotional parts of Sunny Leone’s story is her relationship with her mother. Sunny has spoken openly about how her decision to work in the adult entertainment industry affected her family. Her mother had struggled with alcoholism even before Sunny entered that industry, but Sunny has said that her career choice became a major trigger for her mother. Sunny has also recalled the painful moment when her parents finally discovered what she was doing. Sunny only revealed her adult career to her parents after winning a $100,000 (₹84 lakh) Penthouse award. She had shared that her father cried and her mother was deeply affected, triggering her mother's alcoholism. Her devastated mother broke down in tears, asking, "You were naked?" while her father told her that since she made the choice, she now had to "own it." Though the decision completely isolated her from her relatives, Sunny stood firm, refusing to regret her path to financial independence. How did she become Sunny from Karenjit? Sunny Leone adopted the stage name “Sunny Leone” when she entered the entertainment industry. She had stated that the name “Sunny” was the nickname of her brother Sandeep. While “Leone” was chosen as her professional surname. When her mother came to know about this, she wasn't happy at all. Why did she choose that career? Sunny has never presented her entry into the adult entertainment business as something that simply happened to her. She has said that she saw it as a business opportunity and was careful about the contracts she signed. In a 2023 interview, she said she had no “horror stories” from that period and viewed the work professionally. Turning point came from Bigg Boss in 2011 Sunny entered Bigg Boss 5 as a wildcard contestant. She was already well known internationally, but her appearance on Indian television introduced her to a completely different audience. Her first Bollywood break was Jism 2 Sunny made her Hindi film debut with Pooja Bhatt’s Jism 2, released in 2012. The film attracted enormous attention because of Sunny’s past. Her casting itself became a talking point, and she faced both criticism and curiosity from the public. But she did not stop there. She appeared in many films then. She also became a familiar face in popular dance numbers. From ‘Baby Doll’ to ‘Laila Main Laila’ If acting introduced Sunny to Bollywood, songs made her a major pop-culture name. People continued to judge her by her past Sunny’s biggest battle after entering Bollywood was not simply getting work. It was getting people to see her as more than her past. She has repeatedly spoken about being judged before people even met her. One of the most talked-about moments came during a television interview in which she was asked extremely personal and uncomfortable questions about her past. Instead of losing her temper, Sunny remained calm and answered the questions. She later said that she had learnt to deal with people judging her and understood that she could not control what everyone thought about her. Even years later, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt recently reflected on the problem Sunny faced when she entered Bollywood. He said preconceived ideas about her past worked against Jism 2, because audiences found it difficult to accept her in a traditional role. That is also why Kennedy became important for her. In Anurag Kashyap’s crime thriller, Sunny took on a more serious acting role. The film premiered at Cannes, allowing her to be seen in a very different light. It was eventually released on ZEE5 in 2026. Her love life: From heartbreak to Daniel Weber Sunny's personal life has also had its share of ups and downs. Before meeting her husband, she dated comedian Russell Peters. She later became engaged to Matt Erikson, a marketing executive at Playboy Enterprises, but the relationship ended in 2008. Then came Daniel Weber. Daniel has supported her career and has also worked with her professionally. Sunny has said that Daniel was there for her during some of the most difficult periods of her life, including the deaths of her parents. Interestingly, Sunny has recalled that she was not particularly impressed when she first met Daniel. She even arrived late to their first date. Daniel, however, sent 24 roses to her hotel room and managed to change her mind. Motherhood changed her life Sunny has spoken honestly about the emotional struggle behind the decision. She has said that the journey was difficult and that at one point she felt like a failure when their attempts were not working. Lost 4 girls and 2 boys while going through the IVF process In 2025, she also opened up about why she chose surrogacy, explaining that she did not want to experience pregnancy herself. Sunny Leone and Daniel Weber created six embryos through IVF, four girls and two boys, but the four female embryos did not survive. After repeated setbacks with surrogacy, the couple also applied to adopt and welcomed their daughter Nisha in 2017. A year later, their twin sons Noah and Asher were born through surrogacy, completing their family. Hosted Splitsvilla's many seasons and other shows Sunny did not limit herself to films. After Bigg Boss, she became one of the most recognisable faces of Indian reality television. She has appeared on or been associated with several TV and reality programmes, including Bigg Boss, MTV Splitsvilla, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Comedy Nights with Kapil, Comedy Nights Bachao, The Kapil Sharma Show and other television projects. Sunny joined the dating reality show as a host from Season 7 and has remained associated with it for years. In 2026, she completed around a decade with the franchise and returned for Splitsvilla X6, co-hosting with Karan Kundrra. It is one of the clearest examples of how successfully she moved from being a contestant on a controversial reality show to becoming the face of another popular reality franchise. She also became an entrepreneur and launched a cruelty-free beauty brand Sunny has built businesses alongside Daniel Weber. In 2018, she launched Star Struck by Sunny Leone, a cruelty-free beauty brand. She has also been involved in fashion, fragrances, and other lifestyle ventures. She and Daniel also established Suncity Media and Entertainment, expanding into production. Her journey wasn't easy, and it certainly wasn't normal. But she kept reinventing herself, and that's what turned her from Karenjit Kaur Vohra into the woman the world knows today as “Sunny Leone.”]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh and his wife Jyoti Singh's relationship is currently in the news. Their divorce case is ongoing in court. Jyoti wants to save her married life, but Pawan Singh wants to separate from her. Meanwhile, Jyoti Singh has expressed her desire to become a mother. Recently, Jyoti Singh visited an IVF center. There she said that "I am also a woman and I also wish to have a child. I also want to become a mother." She further added that if something like this happens in the future, she will come to this center. Saying this, Jyoti Singh started laughing. What did Jyoti say about becoming a mother through IVF? When Jyoti was asked if she would also have a child through IVF, she said, "Absolutely, why not?" She said that "if I am raising awareness among people, then if I feel like it in the future, I will definitely become a mother through IVF." It is clear from Jyoti's words that she wants to become a mother, but due to the current circumstances, she is unable to do so. Marriage marred by allegations, divorce case still ongoing Pawan Singh married Jyoti Singh in 2018 after the death of his first wife. However, their relationship soon turned bitter. Jyoti accused the Bhojpuri star of domestic violence and alleged that he had forced her to undergo an abortion. Pawan Singh has consistently denied all the allegations. Divorce case has been in court since 2022 Jyoti Singh, Pawan's second wife, filed for divorce in April 2022, following which Pawan also approached the Ara Family Court seeking dissolution of the marriage. The legal battle has continued since then. During a court hearing on March 25, both were asked to appear for a reconciliation attempt. While Pawan Singh attended the hearing, Jyoti did not appear. Pawan says he wants to move on Speaking before the court, Pawan Singh said he was ready to accept whatever decision the court made and was also open to a one-time settlement to end the dispute. He claimed the prolonged legal battle had affected both his personal life and career and said he wanted to move on by obtaining a divorce. Pawan further alleged that he had faced mental and physical harassment during the marriage and claimed the relationship had created problems within his family as well. According to him, there was no possibility of reconciliation, and ending the marriage was the only way forward. First wife committed suicide in 2015 Pawan Singh's personal life has remained in the spotlight over the years. His first wife, Neelam Singh, died by suicide in 2015. Following her death, reports linked the Bhojpuri star with actress Akshara Singh. However, surprising fans, Pawan married Jyoti Singh, the daughter of Rambabu Singh from Uttar Pradesh's Ballia district, on March 7, 2018, in a grand wedding ceremony. The marriage, however, did not last long and eventually ended in a bitter legal dispute. Pawan Singh became part of a reality show Pawan Singh is currently appearing in the reality show Bhojpuri Bawaal, which premiered on JioHotstar on August 2. The show gives viewers a glimpse into the professional and personal lives of popular Bhojpuri stars, featuring behind-the-scenes moments, candid conversations and interactions among the contestants.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actor Sourabh Raaj, who played Lord Krishna in the popular TV show Mahabharat, has strongly criticised the current state of reality shows. He said that the extent to which makers are going to boost TRPs is shameful. His remarks come at a time when reality shows such as Lock Upp 2, Alliance, and Bhojpuri Bawaal are making headlines on OTT platforms. Sharing a note on his official Instagram account, Sourabh Raaj wrote that he was initially advised to stay silent because reality shows were not related to his profession. However, he said he felt it was important to speak up as a human being. According to him, reality shows have now reached a point where they should face their own reality. He added that the race for TRPs has turned entertainment into a display of mental harassment, cruelty and disturbing content, calling it "a disgusting reflection of a sick mindset." Questions celebrity hosts, raises concerns over content Sourabh Raaj further said that it is surprising to see well-known celebrity hosts quietly watching such content without objecting to it. He called the situation sad and worrying, adding that he hopes the industry will realise its responsibility before things go too far. He also questioned the kind of values such shows are promoting and the message they are sending to society. Was his remark aimed at Lock Upp 2? Although Sourabh Raaj did not mention any reality show by name, his statement has sparked speculation online. At present, shows like Lock Upp 2 on Netflix, Alliance on Prime Video, and Bhojpuri Bawaal on JioHotstar are among the most talked-about reality shows on OTT platforms. Following his post, many social media users wondered whether his criticism was directed at one of these shows. While Alliance Strategy is a clean reality show, Netflix's Lock Upp 2 remained controversial due to abuses and fights. Sexuality was mocked in the show and abusive language was also used. Additionally, the reality show Bhojpuri Bawaal, streaming on Jio Hotstar from August 2, is also in the news, in which Bhojpuri actresses were seen mocking Bollywood actresses. Actor Sourabh Raaj who was a part of 2 reality shows Interestingly, Sourabh Raaj has also participated in reality television. He was a contestant on Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 and Nach Baliye, making his recent criticism of the genre particularly noteworthy. The actor is best known for playing Lord Krishna in Mahabharat, a role that earned him widespread recognition. Over the years, he has also appeared in popular mythological shows such as Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev and Mahakali: Anth Hi Aarambh Hai. Apart from mythological dramas, Sourabh Raaj has worked in TV serials including Kasamh Se, Parichay, Meet Mila De Rabba, and Patiala Babes.]]> </content:encoded>

The role of Deva in the film Lagaan was initially offered to actor Mukesh Rishi, but due to his busy schedule with several South Indian films, he did not take on the film. After this, the role went to Pradeep Rawat. Aamir Khan was quite impressed after seeing Pradeep Rawat's work in the film Sarfarosh. He called Pradeep's home landline around midnight, at 12 AM. At that time, Pradeep was not home. His sister picked up the phone. Hearing 'This is Aamir Khan speaking,' she thought it was a prank call. She scolded him, saying, 'Why are you being mischievous?' Later, Aamir made him talk to writer Umashankar Pathak, whom the family recognised. Then everyone believed that the call was indeed from Aamir Khan. Aamir called Pradeep to his office the next day, had him sign the film's contract, and gave him a check for the signing amount. This is how he got work in the film Lagaan. Salman did not get Ghajini because of Pradeep Rawat During the press meet for the film Sikandar in Mumbai on 27 March, 2025, Salman was asked if he was indeed offered Ghajini before Aamir. To this, the actor said, 'I've heard that too. I heard this from Pradeep. We call him Ghajini. He's my friend. We've done 4-5 films together. He once said, 'Murugadoss (Ghajini's director) is very disciplined, so sincere, how will Salman work with him? Salman gets very angry.'' Salman further added, 'I mean, he has done 5 films with me, and after that, he says this. Then, I haven't met the poor guy. When I meet him, I'll ask him when I ever got angry with him.' Sonu Sood pays tribute to Pradeep Rawat Actor Sonu Sood shared a black-and-white picture of Pradeep Rawat on his Instagram story and wrote, 'Pradeep Rawat Bhai, you will always be missed. You will always be remembered.' Pradeep Rawat had two marriages

Pradeep Rawat had stated that his first wife had made false accusations against him and his family, although the matter was later resolved. After this, he met Kalyani Rawat, who is associated with the South film industry. The two dated each other for some time and got married in 2006. They have a son from this marriage, named Vikramaditya Rawat.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[India’s food safety regulator, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), has taken action against several major alcohol companies for using artificial flavours and displaying misleading details on the bottle adhesive labels. Govt bans sale of beverages of 3 MP-based companies Three of the companies whose FSSAI banned beverage sale are from Madhya Pradesh. What is the main issue? FSSAI found that some alcohol manufacturers were adding artificial rum flavour to rum and whisky flavour to whisky. Normally, whisky and rum get their natural taste and smell through proper aging, fermentation, and base ingredients (like malt or molasses). Instead, some companies used plain neutral alcohol (cheap, unaged spirit) and added artificial flavours to make it taste like standard whisky or rum. Are all flavours banned? No. FSSAI clarified that adding flavours like coffee or vanilla is allowed if there is a valid reason. However, adding whisky flavour to whisky or rum flavour to rum is prohibited. FSSAI compared this practice to adding tea flavour to tea or coffee flavour to coffee—it serves no genuine purpose and misleads consumers about the quality of the drink. Strict rules for product names The apex food regulator of India declared that drinks made using added identical flavours are sub-standard. Companies cannot call these drinks simply Whisky or Rum. They must name them clearly on the front of the bottle as "Whisky-Flavoured Spirit" or "Rum-Flavoured Spirit". The regulator also caught companies making false claims about how long their liquor was aged: For instance, ‘Old Monk XXX RUM’ claimed to be ‘7 years old blended’. Investigation showed that less than 5% was aged rum, while over 95% was unaged neutral alcohol. FSSAI rules state that if a drink is a blend, the age shown on the label must be based on the youngest spirit in the blend. What happens next? Notices Issued: FSSAI issued enforcement notices and stop-sale orders to multiple factories. Well-known brands affected include McDowell’s No. 1, Royal Challenge, Antiquity Blue, Bagpiper, and Old Monk variants. Conditional Relief: Some manufacturers appealed and received temporary permission to sell existing stock, provided they add clear labels on the front stating the true nature of the product. Bottom Line: FSSAI is cracking down on artificial shortcuts to ensure consumers get genuine products that are accurately as per information mentioned in the labels.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Today, Kiara Advani is among Bollywood’s most successful actresses, with major films, big production houses and a huge fan following to her name. But her journey to the top was far from easy, despite her having a special connection with Salman Khan in the industry. Her debut film failed, and she struggled to find work for months. Even after the success of MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, she continued to audition and faced several rejections. Her breakthrough came with Kabir Singh, which was so impactful that many people still mistakenly consider it her debut film. Before making a mark in cinema, Kiara also struggled to gain recognition in the fashion industry. In today's success story, know some special things related to Kiara Advani's personal life and career. Dad Was a Businessman, Mom a Teacher; But She Dreamed of Becoming an Actress Born in Mumbai on July 31, 1992, Kiara Advani's real name is Alia Advani. Her father, Jagdeep Advani, is a businessman, while her mother, Genevieve Jaffrey, is a teacher. Genevieve is the daughter of actor Saeed Jaffrey's brother, Hameed Jaffrey, and his first wife, Valerie. Hameed Jaffrey later married Bharti Ganguly, the daughter of veteran actor Ashok Kumar. Although Kiara's family was not directly involved in the film industry, she was familiar with Bollywood from an early age. Kiara has recalled that as a child, she would recreate film scenes in front of the mirror and take part in school cultural programmes. It was during those years that she began dreaming of becoming an actress. She studied at The Cathedral  John Connon School and later graduated in Mass Communication from Jai Hind College. She scored 92% in her Class 10 board examinations. Before entering films, She taught children Before entering the film industry, Kiara taught young children at her mother's preschool. In an interview with Film Companion, she said she enjoyed spending time with children. After doing this for some time, she began auditioning for films. The story behind changing her name from Alia to Kiara Kiara's real name was Alia. However, when she was preparing to enter Bollywood, Alia Bhatt was already an established actress. Salman Khan therefore advised her to change her name. Kiara later revealed on Comedy Nights with Kapil that she chose the name "Kiara" after being inspired by Priyanka Chopra's character in Anjaana Anjaani. Special connection with Salman Khan didn't work It is often believed that Kiara got an easy entry into Bollywood because of her connection with Salman Khan's family. However, she has said that this was not the case. The two families have known each other for years, a connection that both Salman and Kiara have acknowledged. In an appearance on Raj Shamani's podcast, Kiara said she never got a film simply because of her connections and had to audition for every role. In fact, Kiara's mother, Genevieve Jaffrey, and Salman Khan have been childhood friends. Their families have shared a close relationship for years. Kiara's aunt, Shaheen Jaffrey, was also once reportedly close to Salman Khan and was rumoured to have been his girlfriend. This is how Salman has known Kiara since childhood. Her first film released, but her dream seemed to fall apart Kiara made her Bollywood debut in 2014 with Kabir Sadanand's Fugly, which also starred Mohit Marwah, Vijay Raaz and Jimmy Sheirgill. There were high expectations from the film before its release, but it turned out to be a major box-office failure. The biggest impact of Fugly's failure was on Kiara's career. While many newcomers begin receiving more offers after their debut, Kiara's phone stopped ringing. No Work for Months, She Began Doubting Herself After Fugly flopped, Kiara entered one of the most difficult phases of her career. She revealed in an interview with Film Companion that she went for months without getting another film. She would ask her manager every day whether there had been any calls. She kept hoping that a director or producer might reach out, but the answer was often "no." Gradually, she began doubting herself. Had she chosen the wrong career? Would her first film also be her last? Would anyone give her another chance? These questions constantly troubled her. Yet, she continued auditioning. One audition changed her life After struggling for nearly two years, Kiara got an opportunity to audition for Neeraj Pandey's M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story. She was considered for the role of Sakshi Dhoni and had to go through several rounds of auditions and look tests. Even until the final stage, Kiara was unsure whether she would get the role. When she was finally selected, she felt that her life was about to change. M.S. Dhoni was a blockbuster, but her struggle didn't end Released on September 30, 2016, M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story became one of the biggest hits of the year. Sushant Singh Rajput played Mahendra Singh Dhoni, while Kiara played his wife, Sakshi Dhoni. After the film's success, many assumed that Kiara's struggle was finally over. But that was not the case. Kiara revealed that even after the film became a hit, she continued to audition for roles and was often rejected despite clearing screen tests. She said, "People only see your released films, but no one sees how many auditions and rejections are behind them." She Auditioned for Many Films, But Did Not Get Every Role During this phase, Kiara auditioned for several major production houses. Many times, she reached the final round, underwent look tests and even participated in costume trials, only to see the role go to another actress. Every rejection made her wonder where she had fallen short. However, she had made up her mind that she would not allow rejection to define her career. Big Fashion Designers Once Told Her, "You Are Not a Star Yet" Today, Kiara is a prominent face for major fashion brands, but things were very different when she was starting out. In Lilly Singh's podcast, she revealed that several well-known designers refused to lend her outfits because she was not yet a big star. As a result, she often had to wear clothes from smaller designers at events. She admitted that the experience hurt, but she refused to let it become a weakness. According to her, "If your work is good, one day those same people will want to work with you." Today, Kiara works with some of the country's biggest fashion designers and luxury brands. Received criticism and questions were raised about her acting After her initial films, some critics believed that Kiara had a good screen presence, but her acting needed improvement. She was also trolled many times on social media. Instead of running away from criticism, she reviewed her work after every film and made improvements. She attended acting workshops and worked specifically on dialogue delivery and emotional scenes. This hard work was clearly visible in her later films. 'Lust Stories' changed people's perception In 2018, Netflix's anthology film 'Lust Stories' was released. Kiara's role in the story directed by Karan Johar was small but challenging. As soon as the film was released, her acting was widely discussed. For the first time, critics considered her not just a beautiful face, but also a good actress. According to many film critics, this film changed the industry's perception of Kiara. Then came 'Kabir Singh' and life changed overnight Released in 2019 with Shahid Kapoor, 'Kabir Singh' became the biggest turning point in Kiara's career. The film grossed over 370 crore rupees at the box office and was among the biggest Hindi films of the year. Preeti's calm and sensitive character gave her household recognition. After this, she was flooded with films and producers-directors themselves started offering her roles. One hit film after another made her the Box Office Queen After 'Kabir Singh', Kiara never looked back. She proved her acting prowess by playing different types of characters in 'Good Newwz', 'Shershaah', 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' and 'Satyaprem Ki Katha'. Especially her portrayal of Dimple Cheema in 'Shershaah' was highly praised by both audiences and critics. It was from here that she established herself not just as a star, but as a powerful actress. Even after marriage, her career did not stop, but became stronger On February 7, 2023, Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra got married at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer. Their wedding pictures went viral on social media and it was one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the year. Even after their marriage, they continued to work in big banner films. Her performance in 'Satyaprem Ki Katha' was highly praised. Many critics considered it one of the most mature performances of her career. Preparing for the biggest comeback after becoming a mother In 2025, Kiara and Sidharth welcomed their first child. After this, Kiara took a break from work for some time. Now she is ready to return to the big screen. Her much-anticipated upcoming film is 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups', in which she will be seen alongside superstar Yash. Trade analysts believe that this could be one of the biggest pan-India releases of her career. Trolled for 'Tabaahi' song from 'Toxic' However, Kiara is being trolled on social media for the intimate scenes between Yash and Kiara Advani in the film's song 'Tabaahi'. Many users questioned her doing bold scenes after marriage and becoming a mother. While many called it a double standard against female artists, as Yash is also married and a father of two children. Kiara said - People will connect with work done honestly Amidst the trolling, Kiara Advani did not directly react to the controversy, but defended the film and her character. She said, "I think people connect with work done honestly. My character in 'Toxic' has been one of the most creative and satisfying experiences of my career. When the audience watches the entire film, they will better understand the context of this character and story." In support of Kiara, her co-star Huma Qureshi also came forward. Calling the trolling 'sick' and 'disgusting', she said it is wrong to target an actress just because she is playing a part of her profession. Huma said that artists should be judged based on their work, not their personal lives. British actor Benedict Garrett, who is working in the film, also defended Kiara. He said that actors are just playing their characters and it is not fair to judge them based on their personal lives. Even before this, the film's teaser and promotional content had also faced criticism on social media. Some people had raised questions about the portrayal of female characters, while the makers say that the full context of the film will only be understood after its release.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[If you have been scrolling through Instagram Reels lately, there might be chances are you may have come across Ravi Kishan. From his interviews and quirky expressions to his dance moves and now-famous one-liners, the actor, also a BJP MP, is everywhere on social media. His clips are being turned into memes, remixes and reaction videos. Users are finding new ways to use his expressions and dialogues in memes. Interestingly, Ravi Kishan himself seems surprised by his sudden internet popularity. During a recent press conference for his film Maa Behen, the actor was asked about repeatedly going viral online. But what exactly is making Ravi Kishan such a favourite among meme pages and social media users? Why are memes being made on Ravi Kishan? One major reason is the actor’s distinctive way of speaking. His dramatic expressions, energetic body language, Bhojpuri influence and spontaneous one-liners often make his interviews highly memeable. ‘Home from work’ and ‘Jaldi the late’: Ravi Kishan’s viral slips Ravi Kishan has had several moments that have turned into instant meme material. One of the latest came when he was speaking about the work-from-home initiative and accidentally said “home from work” instead of “work from home”. The slip quickly went viral, with social media users creating memes and jokes around the phrase. His appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast became one of the biggest examples of this. When asked whether he would choose money or fame, Ravi replied, “Pehchaan, money follows, my brother.” The line quickly spread across Instagram, with users turning it into memes and reels. The internet also picked up on another clip in which Ravi Kishan appeared to say “home from work”, which soon became a meme template. His dance videos have also found a new audience online, with social media users jokingly comparing him with everyone from Tom Cruise to Justin Bieber. For many users, it is not necessarily what Ravi says but the way he says it that makes his clips go viral. What are users saying about Ravi Kishan? Social media reactions to Ravi Kishan’s viral clips have largely been humorous. Meme pages have been using his expressions and dialogues to describe relatable situations, while many users have praised the actor’s unapologetic personality. Some have even started calling him the “GOAT”, while others have jokingly compared his dance moves with international stars. One user reacted to his “money follows” comment by writing, “Believe me, he is not Elon Musk,” while another used his viral “home from work” moment as a meme. While much of the attention is playful, the renewed interest has also introduced younger social media audiences to Ravi Kishan’s decades-long career. Ravi Kishan responded to these memes While speaking to IANS, Ravi responded, “I don’t know why I go viral every single time. People look at me as if I came from another space. Even my party superiors ask me what I do to go viral. I don't know, but I just have to show up and go viral." Famous footballers Juventus posted a reel with ‘Kishan’ trend Ravi Kishan has become a popular meme face on the internet, and his viral moments have now reached international football clubs too. Juventus recently shared a compilation featuring some of the actor’s most popular clips, while another club also used the same style of humour in its social media content. Borussia Dortmund also joined the trend From being mocked in the 1990s to becoming a meme favourite Ravi Kishan’s journey in the entertainment industry has been far from easy. He began his acting career in the early 1990s and appeared in Hindi films including Pitambar, Aatank, Army and Zakhmi Dil. However, despite working in Bollywood, he struggled to get the recognition he believed he deserved. In a recent conversation on the reality show Alliance, where he is participating as a contestant, Ravi spoke about the years he spent waiting for his breakthrough. He recalled watching actors who had once been around him become stars while he continued to struggle. He stated- ‘My breakthrough came after nearly 34 years in the industry’: Ravi Ravi said he kept reminding himself that everyone has their own time. He went on to establish himself as one of the biggest stars of Bhojpuri cinema, with films such as Saiyan Hamar and Pandit Ji Batai Na Biyah Kab Hoi helping him become a major name in the regional industry. He later reinvented himself with roles in Hindi films and OTT projects. His performance in Mukkabaaz and Laapataa Ladies was particularly appreciated, earning him several awards and bringing him renewed attention among mainstream audiences. 'Ate 160 Paan while playing role of police officer': Ravi Kishan The film features actor Ravi Kishan in a significant role as a police officer. In a podcast interview, Ravi Kishan discussed his character of Police Officer Shyam Manohar in the film.He shared candid insights about his journey in the film industry and the challenges he faced while establishing himself as an actor. About this, the actor said, 'I had eaten 160 paan, once when we went to Bihar, we saw an officer like this.' The paan eating idea was mine - Ravi Kishan What is Ravi Kishan doing now? Ravi Kishan recently appeared as a contestant on the reality show Alliance, where he was seen discussing his career, struggles, and experiences in the film industry. At the same time, he continues to remain active in films and Hindi entertainment. His performance in Laapataa Ladies marked another successful phase in his career, while his growing popularity on social media has introduced him to a completely new generation of viewers. Whether it is his interviews, dance moves, expressions or one-liners, the internet seems to have found a new favourite meme star—and Ravi Kishan appears to be enjoying every bit of it.]]> </content:encoded>

<h2>Details Emerge as Victim Returns Home</h2>
<p>According to reports, Manju Sharma had left for Ahmedabad on July 30. On the morning of August 1, her neighbours alerted her by phone, informing her that the main door of her house was found open.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Chaos Near Ajmer Railway Station After Daylight Stabbing</h2>
<p>Ajmer witnessed a shocking incident on Wednesday afternoon when a man was brutally stabbed in broad daylight near the city's bustling railway station. The attack, which unfolded around 3 PM, has sent ripples of fear and concern through the community.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Brazen Robbery Rocks Ajmer Jewelry Store, ₹3.5 Lakh Stolen</h2>
<p>Ajmer woke up to unsettling news this morning as a jewelry shop on Chaurasiawas Road fell victim to a brazen robbery. Thieves made off with an estimated ₹3.5 lakh in gold and silver ornaments, along with cash, leaving local traders both alarmed and angry.</p>
<p>The target was Maa Durga Jewelers, located directly opposite the CR Building. The incident unfolded late last night, with burglars forcing open the shop's locks to gain entry.</p>
<h2>Owner Discovers Ransacked Shop, Police Investigate</h2>
<p>Shop owner Arvind Soni received a call around 4:15 AM informing him of the break-in. Rushing to the scene with his father and brother, they found both outer padlocks broken and discarded in a drain, while the central lock was also severely damaged. Inside, merchandise lay scattered, a clear sign of the ransacking.</p>
<p>What makes this case particularly striking is that the entire episode was captured on video. A resident of the CR Building, whose identity remains undisclosed, recorded the five-minute footage on their mobile phone and shared it with the shop owner. The video distinctly shows two individuals involved in the act.</p>
<p>One suspect stood guard on a motorbike outside, keeping watch, while the other entered the shop. The individual inside quickly filled a bag with over 1.5 kg of silver jewelry and cash from the till before both fled the scene.</p>
<p>Upon receiving the report, police swiftly arrived at the crime scene. Officers meticulously inspected the area, gathering evidence. They are now actively using the video footage and other technical evidence to identify and apprehend the culprits responsible for this audacious theft.</p>
<p>This latest incident adds to a troubling trend of rising thefts in Ajmer, raising serious questions about the city's overall security infrastructure and the brazenness of criminals operating with apparent impunity. The incident has undoubtedly cast a shadow over the business community, demanding a robust response from authorities to restore confidence and ensure safety.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rajasthan's New Investment Hotspots: Jaipur and Ajmer Steal the Limelight from Metros</h2>
<p>The traditional dominance of Delhi and Mumbai as prime real estate investment destinations appears to be shifting. Investors are now increasingly looking towards vibrant Tier-2 cities, with Rajasthan's Jaipur and Ajmer emerging as frontrunners in this evolving landscape.</p>
<p>A recent CRISIL report highlights Jaipur's significant rise, identifying it as a leading Tier-2 real estate hotspot. The city's robust growth trajectory and developing infrastructure have made it an attractive proposition for both residential and commercial ventures.</p>
<h2>Jaipur's Ascent as a Tier-2 Real Estate Powerhouse</h2>
<p>Jaipur, often called the Pink City, has been experiencing rapid urbanization and economic development. This growth is fueled by improved connectivity, a burgeoning IT sector, and a strong tourism industry, all contributing to a healthy demand for real estate.</p>
<p>Developers and individual investors alike are recognizing the long-term potential in Jaipur, moving away from the saturated and often high-priced markets of the major metropolitan areas. This strategic shift promises better returns and sustainable growth.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Jaipur is one of India's first planned cities, designed with a grid plan based on ancient Hindu architectural principles, making it a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its distinctive urban planning.</div>
<h2>Ajmer on the Radar: Jaipur Developers Eyeing Big Deals</h2>
<p>While Jaipur continues its upward trajectory, neighboring Ajmer is also catching the eye of discerning investors. The city, known for its spiritual significance and historical heritage, is now being seen as a promising extension of Jaipur's real estate boom.</p>
<p>Reports indicate that developers from Jaipur are actively engaging in large land deals within Ajmer. This influx of investment is set to significantly strengthen Ajmer's real estate market, offering substantial returns for early movers.</p>
<p>The strategic proximity to Jaipur, coupled with its own unique appeal, positions Ajmer as a lucrative market. This development is expected to create new opportunities in both residential and commercial segments.</p>
<h2>Festive Season to Boost Ajmer's Market</h2>
<p>Looking ahead, the real estate market in Ajmer is anticipated to witness a surge, especially during the upcoming festive seasons of Navratri and Diwali. These periods traditionally see increased buyer sentiment and investment activity across India.</p>
<p>With new projects and enhanced developer interest, Ajmer is poised for a dynamic period of growth. This makes it an opportune time for investors seeking promising returns outside the traditional metro hubs.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Congress Sounds Poll Bugle in Ajmer, Launches 'Aapke Dwar' Outreach</h2>
<p>Ajmer, August 5: The Ajmer City District Congress Committee is gearing up for the upcoming Municipal Corporation elections, declaring an all-out battle against what it terms the BJP's 36 years of 'terror, arrogance, and failure' in the city.</p>
<p>A high-level meeting, chaired by City District Congress Committee President Dr. Rajkumar Jaipal at the city district Congress office, laid out the party's strategy for the civic polls. A key decision was to launch the 'Congress Aapke Dwar' (Congress at Your Doorstep) mega-campaign, aimed at rescuing the city from the BJP's alleged prolonged misgovernance.</p>
<h2>Spiritual Start for a Political Campaign</h2>
<p>The ambitious electoral campaign is set to begin with a formal puja at the Shri Ganesh Ji Temple (Aggarwal Wale Ganesh Ji Mandir). Following this, party leaders and workers will visit the Balaji Temple and Maa Mahalakshmi Temple to seek blessings before moving forward with their public outreach efforts.</p>
<p>This extensive campaign aims to reach every street, every home, and connect with every individual across all wards of Ajmer. Congress workers and office-bearers will go door-to-door, engaging in direct dialogue with the public and bringing critical local issues to the forefront, from street-level concerns to broader public forums.</p>
<h2>Congress Alleges 36 Years of 'Misrule' and 'Arrogance'</h2>
<p>Dr. Rajkumar Jaipal, President of the City District Congress Committee, minced no words, stating that the BJP board has been entrenched in the Ajmer Municipal Corporation for the past 36 years. He alleged that the party's leaders and officials are now consumed by the 'blind arrogance of power'.</p>
<p>Jaipal further claimed that the BJP's 36-year tenure has left Ajmer in a state of disarray, pushing the entire city into a 'pit' and completely ruining it. The Congress plans to expose the BJP's alleged shortcomings and demand answers from the public.</p>
<h2>Demands for Accountability and Development</h2>
<p>The Congress party intends to press the BJP on several critical questions. They will ask why the public has not received an account for crores of rupees over the last 36 years. Furthermore, the party will seek an explanation for the destruction of numerous construction projects worth crores of rupees and the subsequent waste of government funds, questioning why no action has been taken against the responsible corrupt officials and leaders.</p>
<p>The Congress will forcefully raise these public concerns against the BJP's alleged dictatorial and corrupt approach. The party is making a strong appeal to the 'enlightened and suffering' public of Ajmer to give Congress an opportunity just once in 36 years. Their promise is to accelerate the city's stalled development and restore Ajmer to its former glory.</p>
<p>Significant enthusiasm was observed among Congress members regarding this 'historic campaign' set to commence with the Ganesh Puja. The meeting saw the presence of numerous Congress office-bearers and workers and many others.</p>
<p>The meeting was conducted by Fakhre Moin, Vice President of the City District Congress Committee, who urged all Congress members to attend the Ganesh Puja in large numbers for the launch of this mega-campaign. Stay tuned to MTTV India News for the latest developments on the Ajmer civic elections.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rewar Ends Hunger Strike Following High-Level Intervention</h2>
<p>Jaipur witnessed a significant development today as student leader Shubham Rewar, who had been on a hunger strike for 15 days at SMS Hospital, finally ended his fast. Rewar's protest was centered around two key demands: the reinstatement of student union elections at Rajasthan University and the establishment of a Rajasthani Language Department.</p>
<p>The conclusion of his protest came this evening after a delegation of senior political figures visited him. PCC President Govind Singh Dotasra, Leader of Opposition Tikaram Juli, MLA Mukesh Bhakar, and other prominent leaders arrived at the hospital, engaging in discussions with Rewar. They offered him juice, bringing his prolonged fast to an end.</p>
<h2>Leaders Express Concern Over Student's Health</h2>
<p>During their meeting, the leaders voiced serious concerns over Shubham Rewar's deteriorating health. They emphasized that his well-being is crucial for continuing the fight for student interests, suggesting that other democratic avenues exist for pursuing such causes. Accepting their appeal, Rewar agreed to break his fast.</p>
<p>However, Rewar made it clear that his struggle for the reinstatement of student union elections and the fulfillment of his other demands would continue. He reiterated his commitment to student welfare, indicating that while the hunger strike was over, the broader movement would persist.</p>
<h2>Government Yields to Student Pressure</h2>
<p>This 15-day hunger strike and the accompanying agitation evidently put considerable pressure on the state government. Initially, the government had shown resistance regarding the establishment of a Rajasthani Language Department. However, faced with the sustained power of student activism, it ultimately conceded.</p>
<p>The administration has now approved the establishment of a 'Rajasthani Language Department' at the university. Furthermore, there's an assurance from the administration that a committee will soon be formed to make a positive decision regarding the reinstatement of student union elections. This marks a significant victory for the student movement.</p>

<media:keywords>Kangana, Ranaut, slams, Udhayanidhi, Stalin:Says, Obscene, and, vulgar, remarks, will, not, tolerated, reacts, Trisha, controversy</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has supported the police action taken against Tamil Nadu leader Udhayanidhi Stalin. Udhayanidhi was accused of making indecent remarks about Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and actress Trisha Krishnan during a rally. Following this, the Chennai Police took him into custody. Kangana wrote on her Instagram story that obscene and vulgar jokes cannot be tolerated in any civilised society. She has called Udhayanidhi's arrest a good precedent. Even if bail was granted, action was necessary
Kangana Ranaut reacted to this entire controversy on her Instagram story. She wrote that using foul language and making vulgar double-meaning jokes on public platforms is not acceptable in any civilised society. Stalin was sent to jail for this crime. Even though he was released on bail, this is a very good precedent. Before Kangana, BJP leader Khushbu Sundar had also condemned Udhayanidhi's statement and demanded an unconditional apology from him to Trisha. Chinmayi said - Stop dragging women into politics 
Singer Chinmayi Sripada questioned the mindset of politicians by sharing a post on social media platform X. She wrote that it would be much better if men involved in politics stopped dragging women who have nothing to do with them into their schemes. Chinmayi further said that initially, she could not understand what Udhayanidhi meant. Later, when someone explained its meaning, she realised that it was abusive language targeting women. She said that better behavior was expected from young leaders, but they disappointed. Khushbu Sundar said - This is cheap politics 
Actress and BJP leader Khushbu Sundar also reacted sharply to Udhayanidhi Stalin's statement. She called the remark extremely cheap and shameful. Khushbu said that women's dignity cannot be toyed with in the name of political differences. Normalising such language on public platforms is wrong. She demanded that Udhayanidhi Stalin should publicly and unconditionally apologise to actress Trisha. Udhayanidhi had commented on the crowd's slogan 
This entire controversy began during a DMK protest organised in Thanjavur. While Udhayanidhi was giving a speech, targeting Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay over the Cauvery water dispute, some people from the crowd started chanting 'Trisha-Trisha'. It is alleged that Udhayanidhi commented on this, saying, "Whether water reaches anywhere else or not, it must reach there." Later, he clarified that his reference was to the Cauvery water. When the police detained him in Chennai as the controversy escalated, he called it the government's 'act of revenge'. 
 Udhayanidhi defends his remarks Speaking to the media after being taken into police custody, Udhayanidhi Stalin defended his statement, saying, "You have heard my speech. Did I say anything wrong? Did I name anyone other than the Chief Minister?" He maintained that he had not referred to anyone else by name. However, critics and opposition leaders alleged that his remarks were an indirect reference to the social media speculation linking actress Trisha Krishnan with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, which led to the controversy.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[TV actress and Roadies 8 winner Aanchal Khurana has made several allegations against actress Shehnaaz Gill. In an interview with Tele Masala, Aanchal claimed that Shehnaaz's real personality is very different from the image she presents on social media. According to Aanchal, Shehnaaz only pretends to be "cute" and innocent in public, while in reality she is "cunning" and "ill-mannered." She also alleged that the positive public image of Shehnaaz and her brother is created through carefully edited videos on social media. Aanchal claims Shehnaaz's image is carefully edited In the interview, 35-year-old Aanchal Khurana claimed that Shehnaaz Gill's social media image is created through carefully edited videos. She alleged that the videos are edited in a way that makes Shehnaaz appear cute and funny to the audience. Aanchal also said that she lived in Punjab for eight months and claimed that people there do not speak positively about Shehnaaz's background. She further alleged that shows like Bigg Boss 13 and Mujhse Shaadi Karoge presented Shehnaaz in a positive light, but according to her, the reality is different. Aanchal calls Shehbaz 'ill-mannered' Aanchal Khurana also criticised Shehnaaz Gill's brother, Shehbaz Badesha, calling him "ill-mannered." She claimed that she had once jokingly called him "Fuddu" (fool), after which he became angry and created a scene. According to Aanchal, Shehbaz responded by saying, "What is the status of Roadies? Who watches it, and who are you?" Aanchal added that she is not worried about any reaction from Shehbaz following her interview. Reality shows brought them into the spotlight Shehnaaz Gill rose to fame after participating in Bigg Boss 13, which opened doors for her in both Bollywood and Punjabi films. Her brother, Shehbaz Badesha, also gained recognition after appearing on Bigg Boss. Meanwhile, Aanchal Khurana, who was born on August 6, 1990, in Delhi, won Roadies Season 8. She later became a familiar face on television with Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke and has also appeared in shows such as CID, Aahat, Savdhaan India, and Arjun.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A girl whose mischief drove her mother to snap in anger, “I hope you have a daughter just like you one day.” Her father wanted to name her Mercedes; her mother firmly refused. Her friendships are legendary. At 15 she teased Karan Johar so relentlessly that he walked out of a party. A friend helped her land her first film—and on the very first day of shooting she fell on set. Falling became her signature. Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar were convinced that any film on which she took a tumble would become a hit. During *Kuch Kuch Hota Hai* she fell off a bicycle so hard she lost her memory; her friends seized the chance for payback and convinced her she was only a background dancer, not the heroine. Mischief, boldness, quick wit and powerful acting—few actresses embody all four like Kajol. For three decades this bubbly Bollywood star has won hearts with her laughter, her style and her films. On her 52nd birthday, here are a few stories that capture the essence of who she is. Today, on her 52nd birthday, let's learn about some interesting anecdotes from her life that capture the essence of her personality- Anecdote- 1 Father wanted to name her Mercedes, ran away from boarding school at age 11, was caught on the way Kajol was born on August 5, 1974, into a prosperous Bengali family in Mumbai. Her mother Tanuja was a well-known actress and her father Shomu Mukherjee was a filmmaker. Her father was fond of Mercedes cars. He found out that the daughter of the person who made these cars was actually named Mercedes. Later, he made the Mercedes car named after his daughter. Shomu wanted his daughter's name to also be Mercedes. He insisted, but Tanuja clearly said - I will not let this happen. They named their daughter Kajal, but in the Bengali family, it gradually became Kajol. Kajol was so mischievous in childhood that her mother would often beat her. Sometimes she would hit her with a badminton racket and sometimes with whatever came to hand. Kajol was young when her parents got divorced. Her mother Tanuja was busy in films, so Kajol lived with her grandmother Shobhana Samarth for many years. Shobhana was also a famous actress of her time. After some time, she was admitted to St. Joseph's Boarding School in Panchgani. One day at boarding school, she found out that her grandmother's mother was very ill. Kajol insisted that she would go to meet her. Her mother refused, saying to come directly during Christmas holidays. Kajol made a plan to escape from boarding school with one of her friends. They avoided people's eyes and went out through the gate and reached their local guardian's house. She said - Uncle, mother has called me home, please put me on the bus. Uncle couldn't understand anything and put her on the bus. Kajol was waiting for the bus to leave when the school nun caught her. After scolding, Kajol was sent back to boarding school again. See selected pictures from Kajol's childhood- Story-2 Made fun of Karan Johar at age 15, left the party Kajol was just 15 years old when she went to a film party with her mother, actress Tanuja. Many other celebrities from the film industry had also come to the disco-themed party. Kajol was having fun when filmmaker Yash Johar arrived at the party with his 17-year-old son Karan Johar. This was the first meeting between Karan and Kajol. As soon as the parents introduced them, Kajol looked at teenage Karan, who was wearing a three-piece suit and tie, from top to bottom and burst out laughing. Seeing Karan being made fun of, he became sad, then Kajol's mother said again - why don't you both children go and dance together. When both went to the dance floor, Karan started dancing hesitantly, but Kajol couldn't control her laughter and kept laughing for about half an hour. Karan was heartbroken and left the party. But with time, their friendship grew such that when Karan made Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge at the age of 21, he cast Kajol. Later she appeared with Karan in films like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kal Ho Naa Ho (cameo), My Name Is Khan. Story - 3 Had a crush on Akshay Kumar, troubled friend Karan to see him Kajol had a crush on Akshay Kumar before entering films. Akshay Kumar had entered films in 1987 and was delivering many hit films. At that time, Kajol was just 16-17 years old. Once Kajol went to the premiere of the film Henna with her mother. By then, she had become friends with Karan Johar. As soon as Kajol found out at the premiere that Akshay Kumar was also there, she held Karan's hand and kept searching for Akshay throughout the premiere. This story was narrated by Karan Johar on Kapil Sharma's show. Story- 4 Went to get friend's photoshoot done, got first film, agreed for holiday timepass Three generations of Kajol's family have worked in films. In this context, Tanuja wanted her to also enter films, but Kajol was against it. She felt that becoming a heroine would require a lot of hard work. Tanuja even started making a film for her against her wishes, but for some reason it got shelved. A close friend of Kajol's wanted to become a heroine. One day she went to Gautam Rajadhyaksha to get a portfolio made. She took Kajol along for company. Her friend's photoshoot was underway when shortly after, Tanuja also arrived there. At Tanuja's insistence, the makeup artist did Kajol's makeup as well and her pictures were also clicked. Her photoshoot was done by Gautam Rajadhyaksha, who was working on the screenplay of the film Bekhudi at that time. He liked Kajol's face so much that he took her pictures to the director of the film Bekhudi, Rahul Rawail. He also liked Kajol and went straight to Tanuja's house for her. As soon as Kajol learned about the film offer, she got angry and refused, but later agreed to overcome the boredom of school holidays. She gave a screen test at Saif Ali Khan's house. Initially Saif was the hero of the film, although later he was removed and Kamal Sadanah was cast. Kajol had told on The Anupam Kher Show that her first day on the film set was not easy. That day there was a muhurat shot, in which many big film personalities of the 90s were present. As soon as Kajol climbed on stage, she started feeling strange in her stomach. During the muhurat shot, she fell in the first take itself. She felt embarrassed, but the director laughingly said that falling on the first day is auspicious. Story - 5 Shah Rukh said at first meeting - You never stop talking Kajol started her career with the film Bekhudi and later got the opportunity to work with newcomer Shah Rukh in the film Baazigar. The film's shooting took place on January 1st in the new year. Everyone had celebrated New Year's Eve the day before and everyone was tired. When Kajol saw Shah Rukh for the first time, he was sitting in a corner wearing big dark sunglasses and not talking to anyone. Then Kajol said to Shah Rukh's makeup artist in Marathi - What kind of hero is this, he looks grumpy. He doesn't talk, where did you bring him from, how strange he is. On the other side, tired from the party the previous day, Shah Rukh was trying to block Kajol's voice by putting his hand on his ear. He said to a boy standing nearby, This heroine talks so much, someone make her quiet. Kajol kept criticizing Shah Rukh for quite a while and then after some time went up to him and said- Hi, my name is Kajol. Shah Rukh's first words were- Can't you ever be quiet? Kajol then said- No, I can't be quiet, that will never happen. This friendship that started with bitterness continued and today their friendship is an example. Apart from Baazigar, both gave many blockbuster films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, My Name Is Khan. Story- 6 Kept laughing during Shilpa's death scene in Baazigar, director reprimanded her One day on the set of Baazigar, Shilpa Shetty's death scene was to be filmed. According to the scene, Kajol had to cry profusely after her sister Shilpa's death. But as soon as the scene was prepared, Kajol started laughing loudly upon seeing the nail polish on Shilpa's feet. She kept saying repeatedly, "Who applies so much nail polish while dying?" Kajol's continuous laughter started affecting the shooting. Director Abbas-Mustan came to her and said this is a very serious shot, if you laugh like this you won't be able to stay in character. But Kajol just wouldn't stop. The director got irritated by her laughter and shouted - If your real sister had died, would you have laughed like this then too? Hearing this, Kajol became completely silent. Shortly after, she delivered that shot, which upon watching, no one could guess that she had been laughing just moments before. Story- 7 Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, My Name Is Khan, fell on every set, know the stories of falling- Lost memory after falling on the set of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Kajol was shooting for the film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai with Shah Rukh Khan. According to the scene, she had to clap while riding a bicycle with Shah Rukh. As soon as action was called, Kajol's bicycle lost balance and she fell straight down face-first. After some time when she regained consciousness, her memory was gone. At that time, best friends Shah Rukh and Karan were busy trying to convince her that she was not the heroine but a background dancer in the film. Even after losing her memory, Kajol remembered her boyfriend Ajay Devgn at that time. She was repeatedly saying please someone call Ajay. On her insistence, Ajay Devgn was called. Ajay had a long conversation with her on the call and explained everything to her properly. After some time, she remembered everything. Shah Rukh dropped Kajol on the set of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge In a scene from the film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Shah Rukh Khan had to lift Kajol in his arms and drop her. Farah Khan wanted the expressions to look natural, so she didn't tell Kajol about this. Shah Rukh lifted Kajol and suddenly dropped her without warning, causing Kajol to actually fall. The expressions shown in the scene were natural, after which she gave Shah Rukh a piece of her mind. The second half of the same film was shot in Ooty. According to one scene, Kajol had to run in the rain, but while running she fell hard. The crew members immediately wrapped her in a blanket because it was very cold. The team noticed that Kajol was sobbing inside the blanket. Everyone was whispering that Kajol had fallen very hard, how would the shooting continue now. However, Kajol was actually laughing at her fall inside the blanket. Fell while shooting Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham Kajol also fell on the set during the shooting of the song Suraj Hua Maddham from the film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. This song was shot in Egypt. Kajol had to dance on large rocks while draping her saree, but she fell in one shot due to losing her balance. Kajol was pregnant during the shooting of the film, however, she had a miscarriage after the release. She stayed in the hospital for several days and took a break from work due to the trauma. Story- 8 When she didn't fall on the set of My Name Is Khan, Shah Rukh and Karan got worried Whichever film Kajol fell in with Karan Johar and Shah Rukh, it became a hit. When she was shooting for My Name Is Khan, she didn't fall for many days. Seeing this, Shah Rukh and Karan became worried. They would wait every day for Kajol to fall. However, by the time the shooting was completed, Kajol did fall and as a result, the film also became a hit. Story- 9 Thought Ajay Devgn's call was a prank, hung up the phone angrily Kajol started her career with Ajay Devgn in the 1995 film Hulchul. When Kajol first saw Ajay Devgn, she found him extremely arrogant. Actually, on the first day, Ajay was sitting quietly in a corner on the set. As soon as Kajol arrived on set, she asked who the hero was. The answer came - the one sitting in the corner is the hero. To this, Kajol said, couldn't they find any other hero? For a few days, both shot together but friendship didn't happen. One day, Kajol received a call on her telephone. The person on the other end said - Hello, I am Ajay Devgn speaking. Kajol rudely responded to the call saying - And I am Sridevi. The person said again - I am really Ajay Devgn speaking. Kajol said again - Yes, so I am also Sridevi. As soon as she said this, Kajol cut the call. After some time, Ajay called Kajol's mother Tanuja's number and said - Aunty, I am Ajay Devgn speaking. I called Kajol, but she is not believing that I am Ajay. She keeps hanging up the phone. I had called to invite all of you to my sister's wedding. A few days later, while working together, Kajol and Ajay became friends. In a scene from the film Hulchul, Kajol had to slap Ajay and Ajay had to catch and stop her hand. As soon as Ajay held Kajol's hand during the shoot, Kajol realized that this was the person with whom she had to spend her life. In 1994, during the shooting of the film Gundaraj, both came close and after 3 years of dating, they got married on 24th February 1999. See pictures of Ajay-Kajol's wedding- This wedding took place at Ajay Devgn's house. Both didn't want media presence at the wedding, so they spread false information about the wrong location of the wedding. Before the wedding, Kajol had put a condition that they would go on a honeymoon for 2 months and do a world tour. But when they reached Greece on the 40th day via Australia and LA, Ajay's health deteriorated so much that they had to return. The couple has two children from this marriage - Nysa and Yug. Story - 10 Mani Ratnam called to offer Dil Se, she scolded and hung up the call Kajol always wanted to work with Mani Ratnam. Shah Rukh Khan often used to prank call Kajol. Kajol was shooting for the film Dushman when one day on set, she received a call from Mani Ratnam on her number. The call said - Hello, I am Mani Ratnam speaking. Kajol thought Shah Rukh was having fun with her. Kajol replied- And I'm saying I'm Tom Cruise. Shah Rukh, I know it's you, I won't be fooled this time. Mani Ratnam said again- No, I am Mani Ratnam speaking. Kajol said again- No, I know you're Shah Rukh. I'm shooting, can't talk right now, bye. Kajol cut the call. After this, Mani Ratnam directly called Shah Rukh and told him everything, because Shah Rukh had already been cast in Dil Se. Shah Rukh immediately called Kajol and scolded her saying- Fool, that was actually Mani Ratnam. Notably, later Kajol clarified by talking on call. She was offered the film, but due to being busy with the shooting of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, she rejected the film. She had already given dates to Karan. Karan knew that Kajol always wanted to do a Mani Ratnam film. When he came to know about the offer, he told Kajol that if she wanted, she could do Dil Se first and he would extend the dates for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. But being firm on her commitment, Kajol rejected the film.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Jaipur: Reshu Gupta Vows to End VIP Movement Culture After Being Scalded</h2>
<p>Jaipur's Reshu Gupta, who suffered severe burns from hot water while her momos stall was cleared for a Chief Minister's convoy, has now announced a public movement against VIP motorcades. She released a video stating she has moved past her pain but wants to ensure no one else endures such suffering. Gupta is calling for public support to join her cause.</p>
<p>Her video, widely shared across social media, sees an initial wave of support from various individuals. Many have shared her message on their personal social media accounts, amplifying her call for change.</p>
<h2>Demanding Justice for Negligence and an End to VIP Culture</h2>
<p>In her video, Reshu highlighted the incident that occurred exactly 45 days ago. She recounted how a police officer's negligence led to boiling water spilling on her, leaving half her body severely scalded. Since then, she has been seeking justice, demanding strict punishment for the officer responsible to prevent similar incidents in the future.</p>
<p>Gupta also voiced strong opposition to the entire VIP movement system, advocating for its complete cessation. She pointed out the widespread disruption caused by these movements, citing instances where children miss exams, ambulances face delays leading to fatalities, and common citizens suffer accidents, much like her own.</p>
<p>She shared a recent example where police allegedly used batons to disperse people taking shelter from the rain at a bus stop, simply because a VIP movement was imminent. This, she argued, underscores the daily inconvenience and disrespect faced by the public.</p>
<h2>Promises vs. Reality: Leaders' Words Fall Short</h2>
<p>Reshu stated that while her personal suffering has faded, her wait for justice and the abolition of the VIP movement culture continues. She noted that both the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister have, on several occasions, spoken about reducing convoys and VIP movements. The Chief Minister himself had pledged to stop at red lights and travel without an extensive motorcade.</p>
<p>However, Gupta believes these remain mere words, with no real implementation on the ground. The reality, she asserts, is starkly different from the promises made by leaders.</p>
<h2>A Call to Action, Details Pending</h2>
<p>She has urged the public to join her movement, pledging to fight until the VIP movement system is completely dismantled. While her resolve is clear, Reshu has yet to disclose the specific date, time, or location for the commencement of her protest.</p>
<p>Gupta emotionally shared that she cannot bear to see others suffer as she did. A young woman without a father, she was working to support her family, and the VIP movement incident snatched away her livelihood and well-being.</p>
<h2>The Incident That Sparked a Movement</h2>
<p>The original incident occurred approximately 45 days ago on Mahal Road in Jaipur's Jagatpura area. Reshu Gupta, who operated a momos stall there, was gravely injured when hot water spilled on her during the road clearing for the CM's convoy. The case garnered significant media attention, prompting several Congress leaders to visit Reshu.</p>
<p>Following the incident, the police department line-attached one officer and announced that they would cover Reshu's medical expenses. The Municipal Corporation also declared an allotment of a dairy booth to her, offering some relief amidst her ordeal.</p>
<h3>FAQs</h3>
<p><b>Q1: What is Reshu Gupta protesting against?</b><br>A1: Reshu Gupta is protesting against the VIP movement culture and demands justice for the police officer whose negligence led to her severe burns.</p>
<p><b>Q2: What happened to Reshu Gupta?</b><br>A2: Reshu Gupta was severely burned by hot water from her momos stall while the road was being cleared for the Chief Minister's convoy in Jaipur approximately 45 days ago.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Student Protests Escalate in Jaipur: Shubham Rewar Refuses Treatment and Water</h2>
<p>Jaipur is witnessing a significant escalation in student protests as Shubham Rewar, a prominent student leader from Rajasthan University, has intensified his hunger strike. Currently admitted to SMS Hospital, Rewar announced on Tuesday, the 13th day of his indefinite fast, that he would no longer accept any medical treatment. He has also decided to give up water, declaring his protest will continue until the state government makes a positive decision on his demands.</p>
<p>Rewar has clearly stated that if any untoward incident occurs during his protest, the government will be solely responsible. This move has significantly heightened concerns about his health and the overall situation.</p>
<h2>Broader Student Unrest Across Rajasthan</h2>
<p>The demand for student union elections has fueled widespread agitation across the state. At Rajasthan University, a group of students has been staging a sit-in for the past 20 days. Separately, NSUI student leaders recently climbed a water tank in protest, only descending after assurances of talks with the government. However, those discussions are yet to materialize.</p>
<p>Rewar's own fast centers on two critical issues: the reinstatement of student union elections and the establishment of a Rajasthani Language Department. He asserts that his struggle is not for personal gain but for the welfare of the state's students and the respect of the Rajasthani language.</p>
<h2>Key Demands and Government Accountability</h2>
<p>Rewar has made his two primary demands unequivocally clear:</p>
<ul>
<li>Establishment of a Rajasthani Language Department.</li>
<li>Reinstatement of student union elections.</li>
</ul>
<p>By refusing medical treatment at SMS Hospital, he has dramatically amplified his protest. He stated he would not accept any medical intervention, reiterating that the state government would bear full responsibility if his health deteriorates or any unfortunate event transpires during his fast.</p>
<p>Rewar has criticized the government for allegedly not taking student demands seriously.

During a light-hearted conversation with rapper Bali, Salman jokingly took a dig at singer-rapper Badshah, leaving everyone on the show laughing. Salman takes a dig at Badshah During the episode, rapper Bali performed one of his songs for Salman Khan. Reacting to the performance, Salman said Bali's voice sounded very different while rapping compared to his normal speaking voice. Bali replied that Badshah had taught him voice modulation and had also advised him to make commercial songs. Salman then jokingly remarked, "Did Badshah himself understand what he explained?" When Bali defended Badshah, Salman laughed and added, "But he should also understand what he's explaining." The light-hearted exchange left everyone on the show laughing. Salman speaks about Sohail and Seema's relationship The makers have also released a new promo from the show, in which Salman Khan asks Sohail whether he still listens to his ex-wife, Seema Sajdeh. He then says, "I don't know if I should say this, but my great brother took all the blame on himself. As his brother, I know how much he tried. I know what we have seen. All this time, he kept taking everything upon himself." Seema Sajdeh had entered Alliance as a wild card contestant earlier this season. When she joined the show, host Kunal Khemu asked Sohail how he felt seeing her again. Sohail responded that he had spent 25 years of his life with Seema and described her as a beautiful and kind-hearted woman. He also said that if there was ever any fault in their relationship, he believed it was his own. Salman got emotional remembering his jail days Meanwhile, Salman Khan also talked about his jail experience. He told Sohail and other inmates, "Years ago, when I went to jail, there were bars in front. There was one bathroom for 50-60 people at once. It was an Indian-style commode, where there were lizards. It was filled with dirt up to the top all the time." In the show, Salman questioned Sohail about his weight loss. When other contestants revealed that Sohail had lost 12 kg, Salman shared that he too had lost 16 kg. About the show Alliance-]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin has come under fire over an alleged inappropriate remark that sparked a political and social controversy. The row escalated after the remark was linked to actress Trisha Krishnan, prompting strong reactions from singer Chinmayi Sripada and actress Khushbu Sundar, who condemned it as disrespectful towards women. As the controversy intensified, Chennai Police detained Udhayanidhi Stalin on Tuesday. Responding to the criticism, Udhayanidhi clarified that he had not named anyone other than the Chief Minister and denied making any personal reference to others. Chinmayi says women should not be dragged into politics Singer Chinmayi Sripada criticised the remark in a post on X, saying politicians should stop dragging women, who have nothing to do with political disputes, into their agendas. She added that she initially did not understand what Udhayanidhi Stalin meant. However, after someone explained the remark to her, she realised it was an abusive comment directed at women. Chinmayi said she had expected better conduct from young political leaders but was disappointed. Khushbu Sundar calls it 'cheap politics' Actress and BJP leader Khushbu Sundar also strongly criticised Udhayanidhi Stalin's remark, calling it "cheap politics." She said women's dignity should never become a tool in political battles and that such language has no place in public discourse. Khushbu also demanded that Udhayanidhi Stalin issue an unconditional public apology to actress Trisha Krishnan. Remark during rally triggered the controversy The controversy began during a DMK protest in Thanjavur over the Cauvery water dispute. While Udhayanidhi Stalin was addressing the gathering and criticising Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, some people in the crowd started chanting "Trisha, Trisha." It is alleged that Udhayanidhi responded by saying, "Whether the water reaches anywhere else or not, it must reach there," a remark that many interpreted as an inappropriate reference to actress Trisha Krishnan, triggering widespread backlash. Later, he clarified that his gesture was towards the Cauvery water. When the controversy escalated and the police detained him in Chennai, he called it the government's 'act of revenge'. Udhayanidhi defends himself Speaking to the media after being taken into police custody, Udhayanidhi Stalin defended his remarks. He said, "You have heard my speech. Did I say anything wrong? Did I name anyone other than the Chief Minister?" He maintained that he had not referred to any individual by name. However, opposition leaders and critics argued that the remark was an indirect reference to the social media rumours linking actress Trisha Krishnan with Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, which is why it sparked widespread controversy.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>FSSAI Cracks Down on '100%' Claims, Halts Sale of Popular Products</h2>
<p>India's food regulator, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), has stepped in, halting the sale of several products making '100%' claims. This move targets items that allegedly mislead consumers about their purity and natural composition.</p>
<p>The ban specifically affects a range of products including certain honey variants, apple cider vinegar, virgin coconut oil, sesame oil, cow ghee, coconut water, and coconut milk. These items were marketed with phrases like '100% Natural' or '100% Pure', which have now come under scrutiny.</p>
<h2>Why the Ban? Misleading Advertisements Under the Scanner</h2>
<p>According to the FSSAI, the issue lies with these '100%' claims. Phrases such as '100% Natural', '100% Pure', '100% Purity Guaranteed', '100% Organic', and '100% Tender Coconut Water' are deemed to be in violation of existing regulations.</p>
<p>These advertisements and claims contravene the 'Food Safety and Standards (Advertising and Claims) Regulations, 2018'. The regulatory body emphasizes that such absolute declarations can be deceptive, impacting consumer trust and fair market practices.</p>
<p>The FSSAI's action underscores its commitment to ensuring that food products sold in the market adhere to strict safety and quality standards, with truthful representation to consumers.</p>

<media:keywords>Highway Rules, Land Conversion, Construction Ban, Revenue Department</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>New Directives Restrict Highway Development</h2>
<p>In a significant move, the Revenue Department has issued a comprehensive directive, putting an immediate halt on all forms of construction activities within a 40-meter radius on both sides of highways. This order also includes a stop on land conversion in such areas, effective until further notice.</p>
<p>The department has instructed all District Collectors to enforce these new regulations without delay. The aim appears to be to ensure regulated development and maintain safety along the nation's vital road networks.</p>
<h3>Specific Restrictions Detailed</h3>
<p>Under the new rules, land conversion for residential use is now restricted up to 40 meters from the highway's midpoint. For commercial purposes, this restriction extends even further, prohibiting land use changes within 75 meters from the highway's central point.</p>
<p>Residential constructions will only be permitted beyond the 40-meter mark. This creates a clear buffer zone, potentially enhancing road safety and reducing congestion.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the directive explicitly states that no dhabas, shops, restaurants, or hotels will be allowed to operate within 75 meters from the highway's midpoint. This also means that existing agricultural land cannot be converted for these commercial uses within this specified zone.</p>
<h3>Implications for Future Development</h3>
<p>These new regulations are expected to have a substantial impact on roadside development and planning. Property owners and developers along highways will need to strictly adhere to these guidelines for any future projects or land use changes.</p>
<p>The move underscores the government's intent to streamline development activities along major transport arteries, focusing on long-term planning and safety.</p>
<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<p></p>
<h3>What is the primary new restriction along highways?</h3>
<p></p>
<p>The primary restriction is a ban on any construction within 40 meters on either side of a highway, coupled with a halt on land conversion in these areas.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>Are commercial establishments like dhabas and hotels allowed near highways?</h3>
<p></p>
<p>No, the new directive prohibits the operation of dhabas, shops, restaurants, and hotels within 75 meters from the highway's midpoint, and existing agricultural land cannot be converted for these uses in that zone.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div class="separator"></div><br><b><br></b><p></p><p><b>Jaipur</b>. Insolation Energy Ltd., known in the market as <a href="http://insolationenergy.in/">INA Solar</a>, has kicked off a countrywide drive to get more Indians running their homes and businesses on the sun. The campaign, called 'Azaadi Mahotsav 2026 – Bijli Bill Se Azaadi Ka Jashn', is pitched squarely at households, businesses and industries looking to cut their power bills.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">The company, one of India's bigger solar panel makers, says the effort is about spreading awareness on clean energy and spelling out the money that switching to solar can save. The larger goal, according to INA Solar, is to nudge consumers toward renewable power as a lasting route to energy independence.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">Chairman Manish Gupta and Managing Director Vikas Jain framed the launch in the context of the country's wider energy shift. "India is moving rapidly towards energy self-reliance, and solar energy is playing a pivotal role in this transformation," they said. "Through 'Azaadi Mahotsav 2026', we aim to encourage more homes, businesses and industries to adopt clean energy solutions that reduce electricity costs while contributing to a greener and more sustainable future."</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">The two also pointed to the company's scale. INA Solar currently runs an annual solar module manufacturing capacity of 5.5 GW, and it's building on that. A new facility is coming up in Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh, which will add 4.5 GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity along with 18,000 metric tonnes a year of aluminium frame production. The company says the expansion sits neatly with the government's Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat push, and strengthens the domestic solar supply chain in the process.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">On the product side, INA Solar makes TOPCon solar modules in the 500 Wp to 635 Wp range. These serve a broad set of buyers, from rooftop residential users to commercial and industrial projects, solar parks and solar pumps. According to the company, the modules are built for high efficiency, reliable long-term output and strong performance across different kinds of installations.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">The campaign itself won't stay confined to advertising. INA Solar plans a mix of digital outreach and on-ground activities under the Azaadi Mahotsav 2026 banner, aimed at walking consumers through both the financial and environmental case for going solar. The idea is to reach people where they already are, online and in their neighbourhoods, and turn general interest in clean energy into actual installations.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">For a sector that has leaned heavily on subsidies and policy signals, moves like this reflect a shift toward direct consumer persuasion. Whether the messaging translates into wider adoption will depend on how households and small businesses weigh the upfront cost against the promise of lower bills down the line.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<h2>Child Burial Rumor Sparks Panic in Ajmer Locality</h2>
<p>A wave of alarm swept through Ajmer city's Adarsh Nagar police station area on Tuesday. Residents were gripped by panic following reports that a child had been buried in the ground, drawing immediate attention from both local authorities and a large crowd of villagers.</p>
<p>Upon receiving the distressing information, Adarsh Nagar police quickly arrived at the scene. Their presence was met by numerous local residents, all anxious to understand the unfolding situation.</p>
<h2>Suspicious Finds Deepen Community's Fears</h2>
<p>The initial inspection of the site heightened concerns. Investigators and locals discovered a sack, a cloth resembling a shroud, and two packets of salt. These items, often associated with burials, only served to fuel the community's apprehension, making the possibility of a child's burial seem more plausible.</p>
<p>Former Sarpanch Ghanshyam Jangid informed reporters that villagers had specifically received news about a child being buried at the location. Due to the late hour and poor visibility, a thorough inspection by the police at night proved inconclusive, leaving the situation unclear.</p>
<h2>Excavation Reveals an Unexpected Discovery</h2>
<p>With daylight, police, alongside a significant gathering of villagers, decided to proceed with an excavation of the suspicious spot. The digging commenced under careful watch, as everyone braced for what they expected to find.</p>
<p>However, the truth that emerged from the earth was far from what anyone anticipated. Instead of the body of a child, the excavation uncovered a small, white pet Pomeranian dog. This unexpected discovery immediately brought clarity to the situation, putting an end to the widespread rumor and the panic it had caused.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Pomeranians, originating from the Spitz family of dogs, are known for their small size, fluffy double coat, and lively, intelligent personalities, making them popular companion animals worldwide.</div>
<h2>Past Burial Explains the Confusion</h2>
<p>Former Sarpanch Jangid further clarified the incident, explaining that a deceased pet dog had been buried at the very same spot approximately three years prior. He noted that the presence of the sack, salt, and shroud-like cloth—elements that had initially caused such alarm—were likely remnants from that earlier burial.</p>
<p>The revelation brought a collective sigh of relief from both the villagers and the police. The community could finally rest easy, knowing the fears of a child's tragic burial were unfounded.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[After the box office success of Welcome to the Jungle, actor Akshay Kumar and director Ahmed Khan may reunite for another film. According to sources close to the film industry, the duo has begun preliminary discussions about a new project. No final decision has been made on the story or genre yet, but discussions are underway on several subjects. If things move forward as planned, an official announcement could be made once the script and dates are finalised. Schedule and script are the biggest challenges The biggest challenges for Akshay and Ahmed at this stage are finding the right story and working out a shooting schedule. Akshay is currently busy with the shooting and release preparations of several films, while Ahmed is also working on finalising his other projects. With both having packed schedules, they are first working out their availability and a possible production timeline before making any formal announcement. There have also been discussions that Ahmed Khan could next work with Tiger Shroff and Shanaya Kapoor on a zombie comedy. At the same time, there has been speculation about the next instalment of the Welcome franchise. The duo has worked together on action films People familiar with the industry believe Ahmed's directorial style and Akshay's screen presence work well together, particularly in action-oriented projects. The two have collaborated before and are familiar with each other's working styles. If their new project takes shape, there is a possibility that it could feature large-scale action sequences. Trade experts believe audience preferences have changed significantly in recent years. Rather than films focused solely on action or comedy, audiences are increasingly responding to entertainers that combine action, comedy, drama and other commercial elements. Against this backdrop, there is speculation that Akshay and Ahmed's potential collaboration could also be developed as a large-scale commercial entertainer. Producer yet to be finalised Discussions are also reportedly underway regarding the producer of the potential project. According to sources, there is considerable discussion within the industry about which production house could back the Akshay-Ahmed collaboration. Both have worked with several major production houses over the years, and the new project could potentially be made under a big banner. However, no producer has been officially confirmed or announced so far. Several genres being considered The success of Welcome to the Jungle has further strengthened the confidence of producers and directors in the Akshay-Ahmed combination. The two are now exploring the possibility of collaborating again on a new project. At the initial stage, several genres are reportedly being considered, including action comedy, romantic action drama and a film centred entirely on action. According to reports, Akshay also has a story that has been discussed with Ahmed at a preliminary level. However, no project has been officially announced yet. In recent years, reunions between successful actor-director combinations have become increasingly common in Hindi cinema. Akshay and Ahmed could be the latest duo to explore another collaboration if their ongoing discussions eventually lead to a formal project.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Priyanka Chopra shared a video on her official Instagram account. In the video, she is seen teaching Durga Saptashati mantras to her daughter Malti Marie while holding her in her lap. Malti is also chanting the mantras with Priyanka. Along with the video, Priyanka wrote that she has two personalities - 'Mama' and 'Mamacita'. In the first part of the video, she was seen spending time with Malti; in the second, she was seen dancing in a dress. Notably, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas got married in 2018 at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Their daughter Malti Marie was born in 2022 via surrogacy. Both often share glimpses of special moments spent with their daughter on social media. Malti was seen by the pool with her grandmother In July, Priyanka shared a picture of Malti strolling by the pool with her grandmother, Madhu Chopra. In the caption of the photo, she wrote, 'Reunited...' Additionally, Priyanka also shared a video on her Instagram story, in which Malti was seen watching the song 'Tune Maari Entriyaan' from the film 'Gunday' on TV. Along with the post, Priyanka wrote, 'Who would have thought?' and tagged Nick Jonas. Malti was born at 27 weeks In an interview with Jay Shetty in February, Priyanka Chopra revealed that the time of her daughter Malti's birth was personally very difficult and traumatic for her. At the same time, she received a message that the news of the baby's birth was about to break in the media. Priyanka revealed that they wanted to share the news themselves at the right time, but due to the leak, they had to make a public announcement in a hurry. She said that at that time they were not ready because the situation regarding the baby's health was not clear. She revealed that her daughter was born at 27 weeks and remained in the NICU, or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, for more than 100 days. During that difficult time, for mental support, she played mantras like the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra in a low voice near the baby. Priyanka said that the baby's condition was critical at birth. The actress said, ‘She looked purple (in colour).’]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Kishore, Kumar, never, wanted, actor:Ruled, millions, hearts, for, four, decades, buried, his, car, his, untold, stories</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Kishore Kumar ranks among the most versatile artists in Hindi cinema. He acted, composed music, directed, and produced films, yet it was his extraordinary voice that defined him. Over four decades, he carved out a unique place for himself alongside legends such as Mohammed Rafi, Mukesh, and Manna Dey. As gifted a singer as he was, his personal life remained equally enigmatic. Some called him eccentric, others a genius, while many admired his deep sensitivity. His personality held many layers that only those closest to him truly understood. Born on August 4, 1929 in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, on Kishore Kumar's 97th birth anniversary, read some interesting stories of his life, which tell how different this artist who made people laugh on screen was in real life. A childhood injury and the most talked about story related to his voice Kishore Kumar's voice is counted among the most unique voices in the world. A family anecdote related to the roughness, flexibility, and naturalness of his notes is well-known. Elder brother Ashok Kumar had mentioned in several interviews that in childhood, Kishore had suffered a deep injury to his foot. The pain was so intense that he cried for hours. The family believed that crying for such a long time changed the texture of his voice, and that later became his identity. The college canteen debt that gave birth to 'Paanch Rupaiya Barah Aana' During his days at Christian College in Indore, Kishore Kumar was well known for his mischief. He would often enjoy poha and jalebi at the college canteen on credit. Over time, the unpaid bill grew to five rupees and twelve annas. Whenever the canteen owner asked for payment, Kishore would try to distract him by breaking into song. Years later, the track “Paanch Rupaiya Barah Aana” from the film *Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi* became a huge hit. Many believe the song was inspired by that very canteen debt. When Kishore Kumar arrived in Mumbai, his only dream was to become a singer, not an actor. He had come to the city hoping to follow in the footsteps of his idol, K.L. Saigal. However, because his elder brother Ashok Kumar was already a major star, acting offers soon began to come his way. In the early years, he accepted several films to please his family and producers. Although his comic timing later turned him into a successful actor, he always maintained that singing remained his first love. ### ‘Anand’ was first offered to Kishore Kumar — but a misunderstanding changed the course of Hindi cinema Released in 1971, Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s *Anand* is regarded as one of the finest films in Indian cinema. Rajesh Khanna was not the original choice for the title role. In his memoir *Actually… I Met Them*, lyricist and writer Gulzar reveals that Hrishikesh Mukherjee had initially wanted Kishore Kumar for the part. Amit Kumar has also confirmed in interviews that his father was the first person offered the film. The most widely discussed version of the story involves a misunderstanding. After a payment dispute with a Bengali organiser, Kishore Kumar had instructed his gatekeeper not to allow that man entry if he ever returned. By pure coincidence, when Hrishikesh Mukherjee arrived to narrate the story, the gatekeeper mistook him for the same person and turned him away. Hurt by the rejection, Mukherjee dropped the idea of working with Kishore. The role of Anand eventually went to Rajesh Khanna and became one of the most memorable performances of his career. There is, however, another version of events. According to Gulzar’s book, a few days before shooting was to begin, Kishore Kumar turned up with a freshly shaved head and jokingly sang to Mukherjee, “Now what will you do, Rishi?” After this incident, the search for a new actor began. Even today, differing accounts continue to circulate about the real reason Kishore Kumar missed out on the film. Did not give up joking even in Mumbai, made his own rate card As much as there was passion for music, the sense of humor was equally remarkable. According to film journalists and memoirs, in the early days, Kishore Kumar would jokingly tell his rate card to friends in gatherings. He would say - if you want to hear Ashok Kumar's song, it's 25 paise, someone else's 50 paise, and if you want to hear K.L. Sehgal's song, you'll have to pay one rupee. K.L. Sehgal was his greatest idol and he considered him his guru. Therefore, when HMV proposed to record an album of Sehgal's songs, he refused saying that people should not say that he sang better than his guru. Never learned classical music, yet became the most unique voice of Indian cinema Kishore Kumar never received formal training in classical music. Despite this, he developed such a command over notes that even today it remains a subject of study for music experts. Sachin Dev Burman recognized his natural talent and advised him to maintain his original style. Later, almost every major music composer including R.D. Burman, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Kalyanji-Anandji and Bappi Lahiri made full use of his natural singing talent. Kishore Kumar, who won four National and eight Filmfare Awards, is considered a singer who changed the definition of singing even without formal training. Sachin Dev Burman recognized the voice, then began the journey of the golden era Kishore Kumar, who arrived in Mumbai with the dream of becoming a singer, had to wait long to establish his identity in the initial period. At that time, the film industry was dominated by Mohammed Rafi, Talat Mahmood and Mukesh. Meanwhile, S.D. Burman recognized his natural singing talent. According to R.D. Burman and film historians, S.D. Burman used to advise him not to imitate anyone and to sing in an original style. This became his greatest strength. Later, many films including Munimji, Paying Guest, Nau Do Gyarah, Guide, Aradhana made him the most popular playback singer of Hindi cinema. Formed the most successful pair with Lata Mangeshkar, such was the respect that he even reduced his fees The pair of Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar gave hundreds of memorable songs to Hindi film music. There was deep professional respect between the two. According to an anecdote prevalent among film journalists and the music world, before recording, Kishore Kumar would often ask producers how much remuneration Lata Mangeshkar was being paid. If her fee was higher, he would jokingly say, "Please pay me one rupee less than Lata ji." When he found out he was getting more fees than Rafi, he told the producer - first increase his payment Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar were often considered rivals, but in private life there was deep respect between them. According to memoirs of several writers including film journalist Raju Bharatan, during the recording of a duet song, Kishore Kumar came to know that he was being paid more than Rafi Sahab. He told the producer that a great singer like Rafi should not get less fees than him. It is said that later the producer increased Rafi's remuneration. When Lata didn't show up for 'Half Ticket', he sang both male and female voices himself The song 'Aake Seedhi Lagi Dil Pe' from the 1962 film Half Ticket is considered one of the most unique experiments in Indian film music. Initially, this song was to be recorded in the voices of Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar, but Lata was not available at the time of recording. In this situation, Kishore Kumar sang both the male and female parts himself. Even today, it is not easy to differentiate between the two voices. Music critics consider this a rare example of his vocal range and acting ability. It is counted among the most unique presentations of his career. The first meeting with R.D. Burman was no less than a film scene The duo of Rahul Dev Burman (Pancham Da) and Kishore Kumar gave countless superhit songs to Hindi film music. Their first meeting was also interesting. R.D. Burman had recounted that when they first met, he saw Kishore Kumar sitting dressed like a saint. Kishore Kumar first joked around, then mimicked different people, and finally introduced himself with a laugh. Pancham Da used to say that from the very first meeting, he realized that Kishore Kumar was a person from a different world altogether. This very relationship later transformed into one of the most successful composer-singer duos in Hindi film music. Not without practice, but prepared in his own way Kishore Kumar used to say that he didn't do classical riyaz (practice), but he didn't sing without preparation either. Before recording, he would sit alone for hours understanding the tune, words, and mood. According to many music composers, he spent the most time grasping the emotion of the song. Until he felt that the song had been internally absorbed, he wouldn't start recording. He used to talk to trees, so people started calling him eccentric One of the most famous things about Kishore Kumar was that he used to talk to the trees at his bungalow. For years, this story was presented as a symbol of his 'eccentricity'. However, interviews with his son Amit Kumar and close associates present a different picture. Amit Kumar has said in several conversations that his father was very close to nature. He enjoyed spending time among trees. He recognized every tree and sometimes talked to them in a humorous manner. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the film industry and continuous work, this was his way of finding peace. Later, many film historians also wrote that this habit was exaggerated and presented as his eccentricity. To avoid interviews, he had skulls and red lights installed in the drawing room Kishore Kumar maintained distance from the media. According to memoirs of several senior film journalists, fake skulls, bones and red colored lights used to be installed in his house's drawing room. It is said that this was done so that a first-time visitor would feel a bit uncomfortable. After this, Kishore Kumar would start the conversation in his own style. According to some journalists, before interviews he would put forth humorous conditions - 'Don't ask for food from my house, don't ask for money as loan and don't ask for my horror film collection.' This was the reason why his interviews became a different experience from other artists. Buried the car in the garden and mourned for several days The most talked-about story related to Kishore Kumar is about his first car. According to film journalist Raju Bharatan and several biographies, when his first car completely broke down, he refused to sell it as scrap. He had the car buried in the premises of his bungalow and mourned for it for several days. Kishore Kumar was afraid of singing on stage, Sunil Dutt removed his fear by playing the 'Ek Chatur Naar' trick Kishore Kumar was as excellent a singer as he was afraid of singing on live stage. Sunil Dutt kept persuading him for about a year to perform in a program organized for Indian soldiers. Finally Kishore agreed, but said - you will stand in front of the mic, I will sing from behind, just like the song 'Ek Chatur Naar' from the film Padosan. As soon as Kishore Kumar closed his eyes and started singing, Sunil Dutt quietly left the stage. When Kishore opened his eyes hearing the echo of applause, he was alone on stage. After this, he sang many songs with full confidence and his stage fear ended forever. He lived in Mumbai, but his heart always resided in Khandwa Despite becoming the voice of millions of people, Kishore Kumar could not completely blend into the glitz and glamour of Mumbai. He mentioned his ancestral city Khandwa in many interviews. He often used to say that one day he would leave everything and return to Khandwa. The streets there, childhood memories and simple life always drew him towards itself. This wish of his could not be fulfilled. He passed away in Mumbai on 13 October, 1987, but according to his last wish, his mortal remains were taken to Khandwa, where the last rites were performed. This is why even today Khandwa is considered not just his birthplace, but his greatest emotional identity.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Major Crackdown on Unhygienic Sweet Production in Ajmer</h2>
<p>Ajmer's Food Safety Department has kicked off the festive season with a significant operation, raiding an unlicensed Sohan Papdi manufacturing unit. The crackdown on Monday, August 3, 2026, saw officials seize roughly 2000 kilograms of the popular sweet from M/s Muskan Sohan Papdi, located on Somalpur Beawar Road.</p>
<p>The raid followed directives from the Commissioner of Food Safety and Drug Control, Rajasthan, Jaipur, and Ajmer's Chief Medical and Health Officer, Dr. Jyotsna Ranga. What officers found on site was alarming: Sohan Papdi being made in extremely unhygienic and dirty conditions, with flies buzzing everywhere.</p>
<h2>Substandard Ingredients and Licensing Irregularities Unearthed</h2>
<p>During the inspection, officials observed the use of excessive food colors in the Sohan Papdi. Even more concerning, groundnuts dyed green were being used and passed off as pistachio cuttings. These deceptive ingredients were promptly destroyed on the spot.</p>
<p>Shahbaz, son of Yasin, identified as the food business operator, informed authorities that the Sohan Papdi was being prepared using a mix of refined palmolein oil and vanaspati. He presented a wholesale category license, but regulations clearly state that a manufacturing unit requires a specific food permit.</p>
<h2>2000 Kg of Sohan Papdi Seized, Further Action Pending</h2>
<p>Food safety officers collected two samples of the Sohan Papdi under the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 and Rules &amp; Regulations 2011. The remaining approximately 2000 kilograms of Sohan Papdi were immediately sealed at the site. Further action will be initiated under the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 once the lab test reports for the samples are received.</p>
<p>Shahbaz has been instructed to halt all manufacturing operations until further orders. The raiding team included Food Safety Officers Anand Kumar, Deepak Kumar, Kasari Nandan Sharma, and Rajendra Sharma, with Rajkumar Indoria assisting in the operation. Stay tuned to MTTV India News for the latest developments on this case.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

He then praised the show before teasing Riteish Deshmukh, saying, "I think Riteish Deshmukh's job is in danger."

Salman hints at Sohail's divorce during the show A new promo from The Alliance also shows Salman Khan speaking about Sohail Khan's divorce from Seema Sajdeh. While talking to his brother, Salman asks whether he still listens to Seema. He then says, "I don't know whether I should say this or not, but my great brother took all the blame on himself. As his brother, I know how much he tried. I know what we have seen. All this time, he kept taking everything upon himself." Sohail had earlier praised Seema on the show Seema Sajdeh had entered The Alliance as a wild card contestant earlier this season. During her entry, host Kunal Kemmu asked Sohail how he felt seeing his ex-wife on the show. Sohail responded warmly, saying they had spent 25 years together.

Recalling those days, he told Sohail Khan and the other contestants, "Years ago, when I went to jail, there were iron bars in front of us. Around 50 to 60 people had to share a single bathroom. There was an Indian-style toilet with lizards inside, and it was always overflowing with dirt."

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Kangana Ranaut, who has been making controversial remarks amid the ongoing debate over student protests, has now taken an indirect dig at an actress without naming her. Comparing the actress’s appearance and manner of speaking to that of a “pickpocket”, Kangana also took jabs at her choice of clothes, language and husband. Kangana recently reshared a social media post that read, “I won’t name her, but a fat jihadi was jumping around making videos on the NEET protest. But during the Jharkhand protest, her mouth is shut.” Kangana liked the post and wrote alongside it that several “fake news stories” were also being circulated about her. She called the post completely false and added that she did not want to embarrass anyone, but claimed that she had noticed an actress who now “dresses and talks like a pickpocket.” She criticised the actress for wearing shorts and a backward cap and for allegedly supporting what she described as the “gutter-level behaviour” of protesters. Kangana further wrote that she believes a person’s choice of clothes can influence their thoughts and personality. Addressing the actress, she said that if her male partner was making her “feel like a pickpocket”, she was sorry to hear it. Kangana also claimed that the actress used to dress more neatly and speak more gracefully in the past. She added that while the actress was entitled to her own opinions, she should pay more attention to her personal style, offering to help if needed. After sharing the post, Kangana also released a video in which she claimed that some actresses remain neutral on issues concerning religion and politics but, after entering relationships with Islamists and marrying them, allegedly become “leftist extremists.” Kangana said there was nothing wrong with changing one’s political or religious views, as the Constitution gives people that freedom. However, she questioned why she is mocked for identifying as a “Sanghi” after once describing herself as a moderate Hindu. She also asked why others should object to her changing her views. Kangana concluded by saying that she was modern and liberal years ago but is now becoming a more staunch Hindu, questioning why anyone should have a problem with that. Did Kangana write the post for Sonakshi? Notably, Sonakshi Sinha is among those selected actresses who openly supported the protest and expressed her frank opinion. Sonakshi received immense praise for speaking about the protest. She made several videos on the protest, in most of which she was wearing shorts and a cap. Kangana Ranaut is in controversy due to her statements BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut is continuously giving controversial statements on student protests. Some time ago, she called Gen-Z girls 'gutter generation' and also said that women of this generation call having sexual relations with multiple men 'freedom'. They cannot even become housewives. She also said that young girls are being sexualized quickly. Kangana's controversial statement was heavily criticised. Eminent personalities like singer Vishal Dadlani and Sonu Sood protested against it. Meanwhile, Kangana's old movie scenes and bold photos went viral. Along with these, it was said that Kangana herself had once garnered headlines for her personal life, affairs, and attire, but is now condemning the same things in the new generation. To this, Kangana wrote, "You want to use clips of characters from my films, for which I am paid crores of rupees. You want to use pictures and videos from my high-profile shows and business events, where I am surrounded by my team, event planners, and security personnel. Further, he wrote, "Do you want to use all of this to convince a young and easily impressionable girl that she too can behave similarly on the street, at school events, or in cheap clubs? Are both things the same? Don't mislead the youth. This is not the same thing. Today you are misleading other people's children; tomorrow it could be your own children's turn."]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[TV actress Aditi Sharma, known for Apolina – Sapnon Ki Udaan, has filed a complaint against her husband and in-laws. In her complaint lodged at Goregaon Police Station, the actress has accused her husband of assault, domestic violence and repeatedly questioning her character. She has also named her husband, Abhinav Vidyanand Kaushik, mother-in-law, Urmila Kaushik, and sister-in-law, Kirti Kaushik, in the complaint. According to the complaint filed at the Goregaon Police Station in Mumbai, Aditi met Abhinav in June 2021 during an online acting class. The two became friends and eventually entered into a relationship. After dating for three years, they got married on 12 November, 2024, with the consent of their families. The couple had also been living together in a flat in Goregaon since September 2024, before their marriage. Aditi alleged that Abhinav’s behaviour changed soon after their wedding. According to her complaint, he would frequently argue with her over her clothes and other trivial matters. She also claimed that she covered the household expenses herself, but her husband repeatedly asked her for money. The actress alleged that on 1 January, 2025, the couple had an argument over coffee, during which Abhinav allegedly abused her and questioned her character. She further claimed that he repeatedly accused her of having affairs with other men and would check her mobile phone. The frequent arguments eventually led the couple to start sleeping separately. Aditi also alleged that after the marriage, her mother-in-law took possession of her jewellery, including a gold chain, several gold and diamond rings, a mangalsutra and bangles. According to the actress, despite repeatedly asking for the jewellery to be returned, her mother-in-law did not give it back. Police investigation ongoing, no arrests made After the actress's complaint, Goregaon police have started an investigation. Currently, questioning of close associates is underway. No arrests have been made in this case so far. Husband had accused her of having an affair with a co-star Before Aditi filed a complaint, her husband Abhineet had accused her of having an affair with co-star Samarth. In 2025, Abhineet Kaushik also said in a conversation with India Forum, "All of Aditi's close ones knew about us. I used to live like her manager, but now I actually handle all her work. She had been after me for marriage for one and a half years. I used to tell her that I was not ready for it. Initially, I was excited for the marriage, but with time, things had changed. After one and a half years, she started putting pressure, and we got married in November 2024." Further, Abhijeet said, she had put a condition that for the sake of her career, we have to keep this marriage a secret. I accepted everything for my partner. We got married at home in front of her and my siblings, parents, and Pandit ji with all the rituals. I have 1000 photos of this wedding. At that time, she was starting the shooting of the Apolina show. Karishma, the producer of that show, had come to know about this. Allegation - Aditi caught red-handed with actor In the conversation, Abhineet's legal advisor Rakesh Shetty has stated that Abhineet caught Aditi red-handed with Samarth Gupta (Apolina co-star) at home. Once Abhinith went to Pune, Aditi called Samarth home. When mutual friends in the building informed him about this, Abhinith returned. After this, the police were called. When Aditi's parents were called later, Aditi said that their marriage was not valid. It was a mock trial.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The upcoming film ‘Ramayana’ made under ₹4000 crore budget with special effects is receiving mixed responses from viewers after it's trailer release. Some are praising the film while others are criticising it. Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. Other than the film cast, another thing which is being widely discussed is the VFX used in the film. It used a full-scale digital VFX, grand CGI handled by the Oscar-winning studio DNEG (Double Negative). But do you know how the iconic TV show ‘Ramayan’ by Ramanand Sagar created special effects in the era where there was no VFX and advanced technology? You will be surprised to know it. The film’s VFX is being created by DNEG , the global studio known for Hollywood blockbusters such as Interstellar, Inception and Dune. Producer Namit Malhotra has brought together international-level technology and expertise to give the film a world-class visual experience. In an interview with NDTV, actress Indira Krishnan, who plays Kaushalya, Lord Ram’s mother, spoke about the scale of the project. She revealed that as many as 86 cameras were used during filming and praised the VFX team for handling the film’s complex scenes. Ramanand Sagar showcased whole Ramayan without VFX in 80s Trailers and promotional shots for the multi-part, high-budget film showcase seamless visual effects. Yet nearly four decades earlier, Ramanand Sagar’s 1987 television serial Ramayan achieved a similar cultural miracle on Doordarshan using pure ingenuity, practical “jugaad.” POP, incense stick smoke, and cotton clouds used to create effects The ‘jugaad’ which 80s Ramayan included wires, cotton clouds, incense smoke, plaster-of-Paris (POP) props, mirrors, and an early electronic effects machine, all on a total budget of around ₹7 crore for 78 episodes. Each episode reportedly costed ₹9 lakh. Here is how that landmark show was shot, and what the actors who lived through it still recall about creating magic the hard way. Wooden sets were built in Gujarat's Umargaon, cast lived nearly two years there ‘Ramayan’ set was built in Umargaon (also spelled Umbergaon), Gujarat. A quiet coastal town with sea, rivers, hills, greenery, and open spaces served as natural backdrops for Ayodhya, forests, Kishkindha, and other settings. The whole cast spent nearly two years (around 550 days of shooting). How special effects were created without advanced CGI in TV Show ‘Ramayan’?
There were no computers for visual effects, limited chroma (green/blue screen had only recently become available), linear editing machines, and low-band U-matic video. Effects were created in-camera, with optical tricks, mechanical devices, and physical props: Kumbhkaran's death scene and use of chroma technology Sunil Lahri, who played the role of Lakshman in Ramayan, shared the details with fans in a video in 2020. He explained, "In the scene where Lord Ram battles Kumbhkaran, when Ram shoots arrows, each part of Kumbhkaran’s body like his arms, torso, and neck falls apart. These effects were created using chroma technology." Ramayan actors shared about the scenes and effects 
The iconic TV show actors have spoken about the physical hardship, simplicity, and dedication: Dipika Chikhlia, who played Sita recalled that everything was created from available resources. Sunil Lahri, who played Lakshman described war scenes as fighting largely against chroma because enemy actors were often not present. The enduring power of Ramanand Sagar’s version lies less in technical polish and more in the visible human effort, practical inventiveness, and the actors’ complete immersion. It remains a benchmark of what resourcefulness and devotion can achieve when technology is limited. Let's see how the new ‘Ramayana’ would impact the audiences.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>RERA Unleashes Tough Action on Ansal Properties Over Unpaid Penalty</h2>
<p><strong>Ajmer:</strong> The Rajasthan Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RAJ-RERA) has signaled its toughest stance yet against prominent developers who flout regulatory orders. In a significant move, RERA has come down hard on M/s Ansal Properties &amp; Infrastructure Private Limited for neglecting a four-year-old court order and failing to deposit a hefty penalty related to their Ajmer project.</p>
<p>The bench of Member Sudhir Kumar Sharma took serious note of the promoter's gross negligence. They've not only issued a Recovery Certificate (RC) for the ₹10 lakh penalty but have also ordered the public shaming of the company's promoters. Their names and photographs will be published on the RERA website as defaulters under Section 34(c) of the Act, a clear warning to potential customers.</p>
<h2>The Legal Tangle: A Lapsed Project and Ignored Notices</h2>
<p>This entire legal battle stems from a suo-motu proceeding initiated by the Authority concerning the Sushant City Ajmer Phase-III project (Registration Number RAJ/P/2017/282). Back on June 22, 2022, the RERA Court had imposed a substantial penalty of ₹10,00,000 (Ten Lakh Rupees) on the promoter company for violating RERA Act Section 61.</p>
<p>The builder was given 45 days to deposit this amount and submit a compliance report. Fast forward four years, and not a single rupee has been paid. The court issued repeated legal notices via speed post in February, May, and July of this year. Despite confirmation of notice receipt on July 6, 2026, no lawyer or representative from the promoter's side appeared for the execution hearing on July 28, 2026.</p>
<h2>Project Status and Deliberate Defiance</h2>
<p>A check by RERA's Law Research Team on the project's portal revealed that its registration officially expired on December 13, 2020, and it has since been categorized as 'Lapsed'. The last quarterly report from 2020 showed only 65% completion, with no Annual Progress Reports (APR) ever submitted by the promoter. The RERA Court concluded that the promoter was deliberately flouting court orders and attempting to evade the law.</p>
<h2>Dual Action: Recovery and Public Exposure</h2>
<p>Member Sudhir Kumar Sharma, in resolving the execution proceedings, has wielded a twin legal hammer. A Recovery Certificate has been immediately issued under Section 40(1) to reclaim the ₹10 lakh penalty from Ansal Properties &amp; Infrastructure. The RERA Registry has been instructed to forward the matter to the Ajmer District Collector, enabling the recovery of government dues by attaching and auctioning the builder's properties, much like land revenue collection.</p>
<p>To safeguard the public and future buyers from such rogue builders, Section 34(c) of the RERA Act has been invoked. The Registry has received strict directives to publicly publish the details of this defaulting project, along with the names and photographs of its promoters, on RERA's official web portal. This firm decision from RERA makes it abundantly clear: developers who boast about their credibility in real estate but then ignore regulatory orders will face not only severe financial consequences but also a complete demolition of their public reputation.</p>
<h3>Frequently Asked Questions</h3>
<p><strong>Q1: What does a 'Recovery Certificate' from RERA mean for a builder?</strong><br>A Recovery Certificate allows the District Collector to initiate proceedings for the recovery of dues, treating them like arrears of land revenue. This can involve attaching and auctioning the builder's properties to collect the penalty amount.</p>
<p><strong>Q2: How does RERA's public display of defaulters help homebuyers?</strong><br>By publishing the names and photos of defaulting promoters on its website, RERA provides a crucial warning to potential homebuyers, allowing them to make informed decisions and avoid investing in projects by builders with a track record of non-compliance.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer Man Assaulted, Robbed in 'Double Your Money' Scam Gone Wrong</h2>
<p>Ajmer witnessed a shocking incident recently where a social media lure of doubling money turned violent, leading to an assault and the theft of a substantial amount of cash. The incident unfolded in the Alwar Gate police station area, leaving a victim beaten and robbed.</p>
<p>The victim, Gaurav Jain, had reportedly gone to the Nareli area on Saturday with ₹1 lakh in company cash, acting on the advice of his friend, Imran. Ironically, Imran himself had been a previous victim of the same fraud gang. The duo's intention was to catch the fraudsters red-handed by feigning interest in their scheme, but their plan backfired dramatically.</p>
<h2>The Trapped Plan: From Sting to Street Crime</h2>
<p>Upon reaching the designated spot, the situation escalated quickly. According to Jain, the accused immediately began pushing and shoving. Imran was reportedly taken on a bike and assaulted, while Gaurav was forced into a car, where he was brutally beaten. The assailants also vandalized his vehicle and, in a harrowing move, threw chilli powder into his eyes before fleeing with the ₹1 lakh.</p>
<h2>Brave Citizen's Intervention Leads to Arrest</h2>
<p>The dramatic escape of the culprits was cut short thanks to the courage of a local resident. Surendra Singh Rawat, from Badliya, witnessed the incident and bravely gave chase. His pursuit led him to the Nehru Nagar area, where he managed to apprehend one of the accused. Roughly ₹70,000 to ₹72,000 was recovered from the individual.</p>
<h2>Police Investigation Underway</h2>
<p>The Alwar Gate police have taken the arrested accused into custody and initiated an investigation into the matter. Narendra Singh Jakhar, the Alwar Gate Station House Officer, clarified that while a case of assault has been registered based on the victim's complaint, the police are still working to confirm whether the incident officially qualifies as 'loot' (robbery) or 'thagi' (fraud). The full sequence of events is currently under thorough examination.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Bold Daytime Heist Rocks Ajmer General Store</h2>
<p>Ajmer witnessed a brazen daytime robbery on Friday morning, leaving a general store owner short by ₹52,000. Two bike-borne individuals pulled off the heist near the Central Jail intersection on Jaipur Road, using a simple request for a cold drink as their cover. The entire incident was caught on the store's surveillance cameras.</p>
<p>The daring theft unfolded around 9:45 AM. The duo arrived at the general store, appearing like any other customers. They asked shopkeeper Devandas for a cold drink, setting their plan in motion.</p>
<h3>The Deceptive Tactic Unfolds</h3>
<p>As Devandas turned to fetch the beverage from inside the shop, one of the culprits seized the opportunity. He swiftly opened the cash register, grabbing the ₹52,000 stored within. Without even taking the cold drink, both men quickly mounted their bike and sped away from the scene.</p>
<p>Their escape route reportedly took them from Jaipur Road towards Agra Gate and Gandhi Bhawan. Beyond the store's internal CCTV, reports suggest their flight was also captured by cameras linked to the Abhay Command Centre, potentially providing crucial leads for investigators.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> India has significantly expanded its urban surveillance infrastructure, with many cities now equipped with extensive CCTV networks to deter crime and assist law enforcement in investigations.</div>
<h3>Captured on Camera, Police Hunt Underway</h3>
<p>Devandas, the bewildered shopkeeper, grew suspicious of the duo's hurried departure. A quick check of his cash register confirmed his fears – the money was gone. He promptly filed a complaint at the Civil Lines Police Station.</p>
<p>Police are now meticulously reviewing the CCTV footage from the store and the Abhay Command Centre. They aim to identify the culprits and map out their escape trajectory. Authorities maintain confidence, asserting that arrests will be made soon, and the case will be cracked.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress Shubhangi Atre, best known for playing Angoori Bhabhi in the TV show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, has opened up about some disturbing experiences from her life. In an interview with digital platform Hotterfly, she revealed that during the early days of her career, she was ragged on the sets of the TV show Kasturi, where some members of the production team allegedly misbehaved with her. Shubhangi also recalled a frightening incident from her school days in Indore. She said a stalker would regularly follow her on a motorcycle and even wrote his name alongside hers on walls and roads across the neighbourhood, leaving her and her family deeply disturbed. Spent 2-3 days in the vanity van, people used to shout while eating
Shubhangi Atre revealed in an interview that her career started with Ektaa Kapoor's show 'Kasturi'. She considers it a turning point in her career. During the shooting of this show, her schedule was very busy. Many times she had to stay in her vanity van for two to three consecutive days. Shubhangi said that during that time, some production people on the set behaved very rudely. When she was eating, they would shout loudly, saying that the shot was ready and how could she be eating. Initially remained silent, then responded to the production team
Talking about the atmosphere on set, Shubhangi said that at that time, such behavior with women was common. She came from a simple background, so initially she silently endured all this. However, later, instead of remaining silent, she started responding to wrong things. According to Shubhangi, one can take a firm stand to maintain one's dignity without resorting to abuse. She said that today, the situation has changed significantly, and women immediately raise their voices for their rights. Stalker harassed Shubhangi during 10th class in Indore
Shubhangi recounted the second most terrifying incident of her life, which happened during her school days in Indore. When she was studying in 10th-11th class, a person on a bike used to follow her. That person used to write Shubhangi's name and his own name on the wall in front of her house, on colony roads, buildings, and college walls. Whenever the house door opened, the same name was visible written on the walls in front. Her entire family was scared by this incident. Troubled by the stalker's actions, Shubhangi's sister had spoken to that person. The sister had told him that writing names on walls would achieve nothing. If you want to talk, first become something and achieve something in life. Shubhangi Atre's Acting Career Shubhangi Atre started her acting career with Ekta Kapoor's popular serial 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay', but she gained real recognition by playing the lead role in the TV show 'Kasturi' which came out in 2007. After this, she made a place in the hearts of the audience with her different roles in many popular TV shows like 'Do Hanson Ka Jodaa', 'Chidiya Ghar' and 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani'. However, the biggest turning point of her career proved to be the superhit comedy show 'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain'. In this, by playing the character of 'Angoori Bhabhi' and saying her dialogue “Sahi Pakde Hain”, Shubhangi became famous in every household across the country.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress Bhumi Pednekar has condemned the abusive language used against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a student protest led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). Sharing a video on Instagram, Bhumi said that using such language against the person holding the country's highest constitutional office is unacceptable and does not reflect Indian values. The controversy began after a video from the CJP-led protest over the alleged NEET paper leak went viral on social media, showing protesters raising offensive slogans against the Prime Minister. The video sparked strong reactions from several public figures, including Bhumi Pednekar, actor Mukesh Khanna, and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut. 'This is not our culture, the youth should show restraint' In her video message, Bhumi Pednekar said that while everyone has the right to question issues related to education and the system, the language used to express those concerns should remain respectful. She said, "The kind of language being used by the youth of our country in videos circulating on social media is deeply disturbing. We are talking about the person holding the highest office in the country. Do we speak to our elders at home in this manner?" Bhumi urged Gen Z to uphold India's culture of respect and civil dialogue, saying disagreements should be expressed with dignity rather than abusive language. Mukesh Khanna called the protestors 'cockroaches' Actor Mukesh Khanna also posted a video on Instagram on this issue, launching a sharp attack on the protesters. He called those supporting the protest 'cockroaches' and spoke of throwing them out of the country. Mukesh Khanna alleged that this protest is not by real students, but students are being used under an agenda to destabilise the government. Warning the students, he said that involvement in such activities could cause problems in getting jobs and visas in the future, so they should stay away from it in time. Controversy started with NEET paper leak The whole matter started after the incident of the NEET-UG 2026 exam paper leak. In protest against this, students and political organizations had started demonstrations.  However, after the alleged use of objectionable language against security personnel and political figures during the protest, this matter has become a topic of discussion across the country.  While on one hand students are demanding a fair investigation, on the other hand, Bollywood celebrities have raised questions about the methods of protest.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A new promo of Prime Video's upcoming episode of The Alliance features Salman Khan making a surprise entry into the house. Dressed in a denim shirt, charcoal trousers, and a cowboy hat, Salman received a warm welcome from the contestants, who were visibly excited by his arrival. Sohail Khan appeared to be the most surprised. His expression quickly changed from shock to happiness as he walked up to hug his brother. Returning the embrace, Salman smiled and greeted him, saying, "What's up, brother?" Salman Enters the Show to Support Sohail According to the promo, Salman Khan entered The Alliance house at a time when Sohail Khan was feeling low following the eviction of his ex-wife, Seema Sajdeh, and while recovering from a groin injury. In a recent episode, Sohail nominated himself for elimination, saying he was unable to give his best in the tasks because of his injury. He added that other contestants continued to compete despite their injuries, and he felt he was not living up to expectations. The episode featuring Salman's special appearance is scheduled to premiere on Sunday. Sohail Had Praised Seema on the Show Earlier in the season, when Seema Sajdeh entered The Alliance, Sohail spoke warmly about her during a conversation with host Kunal Khemu. When asked how he felt seeing Seema on the show, Sohail said they had shared 25 years together. He described her as a kind-hearted and beautiful person and admitted that if there had been any mistakes in their relationship, they were likely on his part. Contestants Cheered for Sohail and Seema The warm interaction between Sohail Khan and Seema Sajdeh on the show impressed the other contestants, who applauded the former couple and encouraged them during the conversation. Sohail and Seema's Love Story Sohail Khan and Seema Sajdeh first met at Chunky Panday's engagement party, where Sohail says he fell in love with her at first sight. The two soon began dating, but their relationship faced opposition from Seema's family because they belonged to different religions. Despite the resistance, the couple decided to be together. On March 15, 1998—the day Sohail's directorial debut Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya was released—they eloped and got married. They first tied the knot in an Arya Samaj ceremony and later had a Nikah. The couple welcomed their first son, Nirvan, in 2000 and their second son, Yohan, in 2011. After nearly 24 years of marriage, they separated in 2022. About The Alliance Hosted by Kunal Kemmu, The Alliance is a reality game show where relationships, friendships, and alliances keep changing as contestants compete in different challenges. The show is streaming on Prime Video and features a mix of actors, television personalities, and digital creators, including Sohail Khan, Mini Mathur, Kushal Tandon, Niti Taylor, and Payal Gaming.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has appealed to Hrithik Roshan to speak out against people who continue to troll her using his name. She urged him not to add fuel to the controversy and said public figures should avoid encouraging such narratives. The remark came after the phrase "The World Owes An Apology To Hrithik Roshan" began trending on social media. The trend gained momentum after Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) spokesperson Saurav Das, during a conversation with journalist Barkha Dutt, said, "My friends were messaging me asking why she is after you now? One of them even said that I look somewhat like a young Hrithik Roshan." Amidst this trend, many social media users trolled Kangana Ranaut. Reacting to a post, Hrithik Roshan had said, My friend, taking sides with 'A' just because you no longer like 'B' is a small part of a larger systemic problem that harms our society. I will wait until the context behind it is correct and it is driven by facts. That would be right, but then again, who cares now, right? Kangana Ranaut targets Hrithik Roshan After Hrithik's reaction, Kangana Ranaut wrote on her Instagram story, 'Dear Hrithik, I am happy that you have found your perfect partner. Your pairing with Saba Azad looks great and you both are in a serious relationship.' Kangana further said that it does not suit you to tease or make fun of a woman in this way. Instead, you should condemn those who are harassing and bullying me using your name. At the end of her post, Kangana wrote, 'Please stop behaving like you're adding fuel to the fire and don't embarrass your partner like this either. I hope you will act wisely and stop making such inappropriate comments.' It is noteworthy that the dispute between Kangana and Hrithik has been a topic of discussion for many years. Kangana had called Hrithik her 'silly ex' in an interview given to Pinkvilla. On the other hand, Hrithik publicly denied any relationship and sent a legal notice to the actress. The actor claimed that a fake email ID was created in his name to communicate with Kangana, while Kangana stated that Hrithik himself had provided her with that email ID.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan is once again making headlines for his personal life. Recently, a video of Aryan with a mystery girl went viral on social media, which speculated his new relationship. Aryan was recently spotted with a girl named Vinnie Takair, with the two seen leaving a casino together in London. Their appearance quickly sparked dating rumours online, although neither Aryan nor Vinnie has confirmed that they are in a relationship. Now, after seeing this video, fans are speculating that Aryan is dating Vinnie. The latest buzz has also revived interest in Aryan’s much-discussed dating history. But while his personal life continues to attract attention, the 28-year-old has largely stayed away from the spotlight and focused on building a career behind the camera. Who is Vinnie Takair? Vinnie Takair is a Danish singer-songwriter with connections to Copenhagen and Mumbai. She has reportedly performed in Mumbai and is known for songs including Shining Lights, Maybe I Love You and Tro Mig. Her recent appearance with Aryan in London has suddenly put her in the spotlight in India. The two reportedly follow each other on Instagram and have mutual friends. However, there is no confirmation that they are dating, so the current speculation remains just that, it’s speculation. Aryan was earlier linked to Brazilian model Larissa Bonesi Vinnie is not the first woman to be linked to Aryan. In 2024, he was frequently rumoured to be dating Brazilian model and actress Larissa Bonesi after photographs and social media interactions involving the two attracted attention. However, neither Aryan nor Larissa publicly confirmed a romantic relationship. The reports remained largely based on social media activity and sightings, and Aryan has generally kept his personal life private. There have also been occasional online rumours linking Aryan to other women, but most have lacked confirmation. Given his extremely private nature, it is difficult to separate genuine relationships from speculation surrounding the star kid. Why did Aryan choose direction over acting? Unlike his father Shah Rukh Khan and sister Suhana Khan, Aryan never dreamt of becoming an actor. Shah Rukh has spoken about this several times, explaining that his son was more interested in the creative process of filmmaking. In an earlier interview, SRK said Aryan wanted to make films rather than act. He recalled encouraging him to learn different aspects of filmmaking, including camera work, and even sent him to cinematographer Ravi Varman to understand the craft. Aryan eventually studied Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California and pursued writing and direction. His directorial debut: The Ba***ds of Bollywood He served as its creator, writer and director, marking his first major step into the industry. The series premiered in September 2025. Interestingly, Shah Rukh later revealed that Aryan was initially unsure about directing the show himself and had even considered bringing in another director. SRK encouraged him to follow his instinct and direct it himself. The toughest phase of Aryan’s life Before making his professional debut, Aryan went through one of the most difficult periods of his life when he was arrested in connection with the 2021 Mumbai cruise ship drugs case. He was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau in October 2021 and spent 26 days in Arthur Road Jail before being released on bail. The case attracted enormous media attention because of his identity as Shah Rukh Khan’s son. The Bombay High Court granted him bail subject to several conditions, including regular attendance before the NCB. The subsequent investigation ultimately did not result in charges being filed against Aryan in the final chargesheet. The experience became an intensely private chapter for the Khan family. Aryan later appeared to address the period indirectly through his work, with The Ba**ds of Bollywood* even containing references to the intense media scrutiny surrounding him. What is Aryan Khan doing next? After the success of his debut series, Aryan is reportedly considering several offers. In March 2026, reports said he had received around 20 offers from Indian and international studios and production houses, including an approach from HBO's US team for a possible creative role. However, he had not committed to that proposal at the time. Although no official announcement has been made about his next directorial project on Raj Comics. As Aryan is determined to build an identity of his own as a filmmaker and creative entrepreneur, his fans are eagerly waiting for his next project.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bollywood actor Salman Khan has reportedly agreed to a fee of ₹70 crore for SVC63, which is being directed by Vamshi Paidipally. According to the Free Press Journal, Salman typically charges ₹120 crore or more for a film. His reported fee for SVC63 is therefore around 60% of his usual remuneration. The report, citing a source, states that Salman’s longtime friend Rafi Kazi is serving as a mediator for the project and will also be credited as one of the film’s producers. The source claims that Salman agreed to lower his upfront fee because of his friendship with Kazi. However, it remains unclear whether Salman will also receive a share of the film’s profits as part of the deal. Reports of Salman opting for profit-sharing arrangements in his films have surfaced over the years. Notably, Salman is currently shooting for the film 'SVC63'. This action film, directed by Vamshi Paidipally, is being produced by Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations. Nayanthara will share the screen with Salman for the first time in the film. The film will be released on Eid 2027. Salman has reportedly held a stake in several films since 2010 According to the report, Salman Khan has reportedly had a financial stake in most of his films since Dabangg (2010). The film was produced by his brother Arbaaz Khan, while his sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri produced Bodyguard (2011). His home production banner, SKF, went on to be associated with several of his subsequent films. Even when working with outside producers, Salman has often reportedly retained a share in the film’s intellectual property rights (IPR) or its OTT and satellite rights. According to the report, the combined value of the OTT and satellite rights for his films since 2010 has been estimated at around ₹120 crore to ₹140 crore. The report further claims that YRF offered Salman more favourable terms than other actors for films such as Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Tiger 3 (2023). Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly an exception to this arrangement. Also worked for friends without fees According to reports, Salman Khan has done cameos and special roles for his friends on several occasions without charging any fee. This includes Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh's film Raja Shivaji. Ajay Devgn had previously stated that he had given Salman a check for his presence in the 'Po Po' song from Son of Sardaar (2012), but Salman returned the check saying, You are friends. I don't take money from friends.]]> </content:encoded>

<p>Ajmer, Rajasthan – A local resident has lodged a formal complaint with the Clock Tower police station, alleging misbehavior, attempted assault, threats, and the use of casteist slurs by employees of the State Bank of India (SBI) Kesarganj branch.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The alleged delay in the certification process of the film Sahiya has led its producer-director Sanjay Sharma to question the functioning of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Sharma claims that the film was submitted under the priority category, but the certification process was not completed within the stipulated timeframe. He says the delay is affecting the film’s release plans and causing financial losses to the producers. Notably, Sahiya was shot in Jharkhand’s Netarhat region and stars Neeraj Kabi, Shantanu Maheshwari and Rinku Rajguru in the lead roles. The film’s music features vocals by Sona Mohapatra, Javed Ali, Richa Sharma, Krishna Beura and Swanand Kirkire. The songs have been penned by Sameer Anjaan and Swanand Kirkire. Sanjay Sharma said that according to the rules, upon applying in the immediate category, the film's screening should have happened within a few days, but his film was screened after about a month and a half. He said that during the screening, it was stated that due to the film having a Naxalite background, it would be sent to the review committee. However, Sanjay Sharma says that 'Sahiya' is not a film based on Naxalism, but a family and human love story woven against the backdrop of the jungle. The film does not support or promote any kind of violent ideology or Naxalism. He also claimed that despite more than 10 days having passed since the screening, he has not yet been informed whether the film has been formally sent to the Review Committee or not. Additionally, no final decision has been received regarding the film's certification. Sanjay Sharma said that if the board has any objection to a film, it should be strictly examined according to the rules. However, this process should also be timely, so that producers and directors do not have to face unnecessary delays. He said that such delays not only cause financial loss but also affect the film's release strategy and promotional campaign. Sanjay Sharma said that he has made this film with complete hard work and dedication. Before this, he had made two short films, but 'Sahia' is his first major feature film. He said that when a new producer-director makes a film investing everything they have, and then there are months of delay in the certification process, it is extremely disappointing. Sanjay Sharma expressed confidence that the film would soon receive certification and viewers would be able to watch it. He claimed that 'Sahia' could prove to be one of the most beautiful love stories of this year, as its story presents human relationships amidst forests, rivers, and nature in a very sensitive manner. Meanwhile, to know CBFC's side in this matter, Dainik Bhaskar contacted the concerned official. A mail was received from their side, which reads- Meanwhile, another controversy regarding the film emerged. Filmmaker Avinash Das objected to the film's poster on social media. He claimed that this poster was released incorrectly, without permission, and is controversial. He stated that he alone directed 'Sahiya', but his name was misspelled on the poster and his legal credit was understated. Meanwhile, Avinash Das has issued a public statement claiming that he alone directed the film and is also its co-producer. He alleged that the posters and promotional materials released on social media and trade platforms are incorrect, misleading, and being circulated without his permission. According to Avinash Das, the poster states 'A Film by Sanjay Sharma' and 'Directed by Sanjay Sharma and Abnav Das', whereas the correct credit should be 'A Film by Avinash Das' and 'Directed by Avinash Das'. He also stated that the spelling of his name is incorrect. Avinash Das has filed a formal complaint in this matter with IFTDA, IMPPA, and CBFC.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>High-Voltage Student Drama in Jaipur Concludes</h2>
<p>Jaipur witnessed the dramatic conclusion of a high-stakes student protest late Friday night. The nearly 40-hour standoff saw NSUI student leaders occupying a water tank, demanding the reinstatement of student union elections. The situation was finally defused after an agreement was reached between the administration and the protesting students, leading to their safe descent.</p>
<p>The administration has reportedly assured the student delegation of meetings with both the Deputy Chief Minister and the Chief Minister. Crucially, it was also confirmed that no legal cases would be filed against the student leaders involved in the protest, a key demand from the protestors.</p>
<h2>Leaders Mediate, Students Issue Ultimatum</h2>
<p>The resolution came after prominent political figures, including Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully and MLA Rafiq Khan, arrived at the protest site. They engaged in discussions with the students, conveying the terms of the agreement with the government and urging them to call off the agitation.</p>
<p>Student leader Vijaypal Kudi confirmed their decision to descend, citing the agreement on their demands and an appeal from their leader, Tikaram Jully. However, Kudi issued a stern warning: if an appropriate decision is not made within seven days, the students are prepared to resume their protest.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Student union elections have a long history in India, often serving as a crucial platform for young leaders to emerge and voice student concerns, sometimes even shaping the broader political landscape.</div>
<h2>Upcoming High-Level Meetings</h2>
<p>A 10-member student delegation is now set to meet with the Deputy Chief Minister and the Higher Education Minister. During this meeting, they will present their detailed demands for the restoration of student union elections and other student-related issues.</p>
<p>A separate meeting has also been scheduled for Saturday with Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma. This gathering will see the student delegation discussing the reinstatement of student union elections alongside various other concerns.</p>
<h2>Political Discourse Heats Up Over Election History</h2>
<p>Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully highlighted that NSUI workers had been protesting for days, culminating in the water tank demonstration. He stated that the government has assured serious consideration of the students' demands. Jully emphasized the importance of listening to the youth's voice in a democracy, especially when they are vocal about their demands.</p>
<p>Jully also raised the issue of an alleged lathi-charge on students in Delhi, calling for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action against the Home Minister. He further accused the state government of misleading students, refuting claims that the Congress government had stopped student union elections. He clarified that elections were initiated during the Congress tenure and only postponed in the final year due to assembly elections, not permanently halted. Jully challenged the BJP government to restore the elections if they truly believe Congress had stopped them, thereby taking the credit.</p>
<h2>Earlier Clashes and Anticipation</h2>
<p>Earlier in the day, the protest saw attempts by NSUI to block Tonk Road, which led to police intervention and the detention of several protestors. With the late-night agreement now in place, all eyes are on the upcoming meetings with the Deputy Chief Minister and Chief Minister, where a clear path forward for student union elections is eagerly anticipated.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rajasthan Police Strikes Big: Three Wanted Drug Traffickers Nabbed in Multi-State Operations</h2>
<p>Jaipur: In a significant blow to the illicit drug trade, Rajasthan Police's Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) has successfully carried out a major crackdown against drug peddlers. The ANTF launched coordinated operations across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat, leading to the apprehension of three wanted criminals, each carrying a reward of ₹25,000, totaling ₹75,000.</p>
<p>These swift actions were conducted under the direct supervision of ANTF ADG Dinesh MN and IG Vikas Kumar.</p>
<p>ANTF IG Vikas Kumar confirmed the success, stating that three major operations were executed across three different states, resulting in these key arrests. The targeted individuals were high-value targets in the narcotics network.</p>
<h3>Operation 'M Catbua': The Chemical Supplier</h3>
<p>The first major action, dubbed 'Operation M Catbua,' led to the capture of Rahul Singh, who had a ₹25,000 bounty declared by the Bhilwara SP. Singh was apprehended in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan, after being on the run for a month.</p>
<p>His involvement dates back to June 16, when police raided an MD drug factory in Bhilwara's Bijolia area, seizing approximately 36.550 kg of MD drugs. Rahul's role in the syndicate was crucial: he was responsible for supplying the chemicals needed to manufacture MD drugs. He leveraged his past experience working at an agricultural medicine shop, disguising chemical purchases under agricultural bills to supply his co-conspirators.</p>
<p>Police had previously raided the MD factory hidden in the Bhilwara forests, but Rahul had managed to evade capture until now.</p>
<h3>Operation 'Saumyakul': The Inter-State Transporter</h3>
<p>Next up was 'Operation Saumyakul,' which saw the successful arrest of Sohal Khan alias Sahil Khan from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Sohal, also carrying a ₹25,000 reward from the Phalodi SP, had been absconding for two years.</p>
<p>Sohal, who only completed schooling up to the eighth grade, initially ran a buffalo dairy and engaged in farming. However, seeing a relative make big money in smuggling, he too succumbed to the lure of quick wealth. His legitimate businesses weren't fulfilling his desire for a more comfortable life. He then joined his relative, becoming a key figure in transporting narcotics from Madhya Pradesh to Rajasthan.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> MDMA, commonly known as Ecstasy or Molly, is a synthetic drug that alters mood and perception. It's often associated with stimulant and hallucinogenic effects, making its illicit production and trafficking a serious concern for law enforcement globally.</div>
<p>In 2024, one of Sohal's agents was caught in Phalodi district while trafficking smack. During police interrogation, the agent revealed Sohal as his supplier, leading to Sohal's disappearance and the subsequent reward declaration.</p>
<h3>Operation 'Gunshanthar': The Hawala Network Operator</h3>
<p>The third significant arrest came through 'Operation Gunshanthar,' with the capture of Thakar Ramanlal from Patan, Gujarat. Ramanlal, who had a ₹25,000 bounty from the Dausa SP, had been on the run for a year.</p>
<p>Ramanlal played a vital role in handling the financial transactions of the drug trade. He was responsible for safely moving illicit funds generated from drug trafficking from one location to another through hawala networks, ensuring the money reached the intended recipients. To avoid arrest, Ramanlal had abandoned his residence in Sanchore and sought refuge at his home in Gujarat, where he was finally apprehended.</p>
<p>These operations underscore the relentless efforts of the Rajasthan Police and ANTF in dismantling drug trafficking networks that span across multiple states. For more detailed news coverage, visit https://en.mttvindia.com.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Udaipur, Rain Ritual, Mewar Tradition, Pot Smashing</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Udaipur Witnesses Age-Old Tradition for Monsoon Rains</h2>
<p>Udaipur recently saw the continuation of a truly unique tradition in Mewar, aimed at ushering in good monsoon rains. Women from the Bhoiwada Rajmali society gathered, observing their customary rituals, starting from Gangaur Ghat. They made their way through the city's main markets, smashing water-filled earthen pots along their journey. Throughout the procession, traditional folk songs filled the air, all sung with the fervent hope for rain.</p>
<h2>A Centuries-Old Plea to Indra Dev</h2>
<p>According to historian Chandrashekhar Sharma, this centuries-old folk tradition in Mewar is a way to appease Indra Dev, the deity of rain. It's also seen as a symbolic expression of society's frustration when rains are delayed, and a heartfelt plea for better rainfall from nature. Women have upheld these ancient folk beliefs for generations, performing special rituals as part of the custom.</p>
<p>They believe this practice helps to please Indra Dev and secure abundant rainfall. However, Sharma clarifies that there is no classical or religious scripture validating this tradition. Instead, it is rooted entirely in folk faith and cultural practice, passed down through generations.</p>
<h2>The Ritual Unfolds Through City Markets</h2>
<p>Local resident Saroj shared details of the ritual. The women first gathered at Gangaur Ghat, where they performed puja and offered 'ghughri' (a traditional sweet). Following these religious observances, they filled their earthen pots with water from the lake, forming a procession. Singing traditional songs, they began their journey towards the city.</p>
<p>Their route first took them to Jagdish Chowk, where the first pot was symbolically broken in front of the Jagdish Temple. The group then moved through inner city markets, including Ghantaghar, Bada Bazaar, and Mochiwada. As they went, they continued to sing folk songs like 'Badal Garjo Re, Pani Barso Re' (Oh clouds, thunder! Oh rain, fall!) and smashed pots outside shops.</p>
<h2>Symbolic Anger and Community Belief</h2>
<p>Local residents explain that this tradition has deep roots in the Mewar region. The belief is that when there is a prolonged dry spell, this ritual is performed not necessarily to appease Indra Dev, but rather as a symbolic act to provoke him. It's thought that the shopkeepers' irritation and complaints, caused by the pot-smashing, reach Indra Dev, prompting good rainfall.</p>
<p>Indeed, some traders played along, showing symbolic annoyance in line with the tradition, considering it part of the ritual. A large crowd gathered in the markets throughout the event, eager to witness this unique and culturally rich practice.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Salman Khan shared two pictures on social media late Friday night with his closest friend Sanjay Dutt, in which both are hugging. Along with the pictures, Salman wrote in the caption, 'Baba Forever... Baba and Baba, Baba is Baba. Sanju Baba is everyone's Baba and now also his children's Baba. My elder brother Sanjay Dutt. May Allah, God, and Jesus always keep this man happy. I love you Baba.' Fans are loving this bond between Salman and Sanjay. Many people reacted to it. Sanjay Dutt's wife Maanayata Dutt commented on the post, 'Brothers for life.' Meanwhile, Sanjay Dutt's elder daughter Trishala Dutt commented with heart emojis. Salman's BMW keys were thrown into the sea Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan's friendship is considered an example in Bollywood. However, there was a time when Sanjay Dutt was upset with Salman. Salman himself revealed this incident on Rajat Sharma's show. Salman had said that Sanjay Dutt made a guest appearance in Sohail Khan's film 'Maine Dil Tujhko Diya' out of friendship. After the shooting was over, Sanjay Dutt reached Salman's house, where a party was going on. During that time, Salman had received a new BMW M5. He took Sanjay Dutt outside and said, 'Baba, this is the country's first BMW M5 and I want you to have it.' As soon as he heard this, Sanjay Dutt thanked Salman, but the very next moment, he picked up the car keys and threw them directly into the sea. The key went into the sea, and since there was only one key for the car, it remained parked outside the house for several days. Salman had said that it took a full four days to find and retrieve that key. On the work front, Salman will soon be seen in the film 'Matrubhoomi: May Rest in Peace'. This film has been directed by Apoorva Lakhia.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Hailey, Bieber, opens, about, constant, Selena, comparisons:How, the, Justin-Selena-Hailey, story, began, and, why, still, makes, headlines</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Even years after Justin Bieber married Hailey Bieber, the names Justin, Hailey, and Selena Gomez continue to trend together. Every public appearance, social media post, or interview often brings back discussions about their past relationships. Recently, Hailey Bieber spoke about the pressure of constantly being compared to Justin Bieber's former girlfriend, Selena Gomez. She admitted that dealing with public scrutiny has not been easy and that she has had to become mentally stronger over the years. Here's a look at how this much-discussed story began and why it remains one of Hollywood's biggest relationship conversations. How Justin and Selena's love story began Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez first sparked dating rumours in 2010. At first, they denied being in a relationship, but in 2011 they made their red carpet debut together at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. Soon, they became one of Hollywood's most loved young couples. Fans even gave them the nickname "Jelena." They were often seen together at award shows, vacations, and concerts, making headlines around the world. Their on-and-off relationship lasted for years Justin and Selena's relationship was never smooth. Between 2012 and 2018, they broke up and reunited several times. Reports suggested that busy schedules, trust issues, and the pressure of living under constant public attention affected their relationship. Every breakup and reunion became international news. Their final split reportedly happened in early 2018. Soon after, both decided to move on with their lives. How Hailey became part of the story Hailey Bieber, then known as Hailey Baldwin, had known Justin for years. The two first met as teenagers through their families and remained friends for a long time. They were briefly linked in 2015 and 2016 but later went their separate ways. After Justin's final breakup with Selena in 2018, he reconnected with Hailey. Within a few months, the couple got engaged in July 2018 and married in a courthouse ceremony later that year. They celebrated their wedding with family and friends in 2019. Constant comparisons with Selena Even after their marriage, Hailey continued to face comparisons with Selena Gomez. Fans frequently analysed their social media posts, outfits, interviews, and public appearances. Online rumours often claimed there was tension between the two women, although neither repeatedly encouraged such speculation. Over the years, Hailey has said that being constantly compared to Justin's former relationship has affected her mental well-being. She has explained that living under public scrutiny can be emotionally exhausting. Hailey says she has become mentally stronger In a recent interview, Hailey spoke about the emotional pressure of constantly being judged and compared. She said that over time she has learned to become mentally stronger and focus on protecting her peace instead of reacting to every rumour. Hailey also stressed the importance of setting boundaries and not allowing social media discussions to affect her personal life. Selena also called for kindness Selena Gomez has also spoken several times about online hate and cyberbullying. In the past, she appealed to fans to be kind and avoid spreading negativity on social media. She has repeatedly said that no one deserves online harassment. In 2022, Selena and Hailey even posed together for a photograph at a public event, which many believed was a sign that there was no personal feud between them despite years of fan speculation. Justin's silence on the comparisons Justin Bieber has rarely commented on the comparisons between his wife and former girlfriend. Instead, he has often shared posts expressing love and support for Hailey. He has also spoken openly about the challenges he faced during his younger years and how marriage helped him grow personally. Why the story still trends The Justin-Selena-Hailey relationship continues to attract attention because all three remain among Hollywood's biggest celebrities. Justin's global music career, Selena's success as a singer, actress, and entrepreneur, and Hailey's popularity as a model ensure that even small developments quickly become viral topics. Although years have passed since Justin and Selena ended their relationship, fans continue to revisit old moments, keeping the discussion alive. The story involving Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Hailey Bieber has evolved from a celebrity love triangle into a conversation about public scrutiny, social media pressure, and mental health. While fans continue to compare the three, both Hailey and Selena have spoken about choosing kindness and protecting their mental well-being. As the spotlight remains on them, their journey also highlights the challenges of living personal lives under constant public attention.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Ajmer Dargah, Vidya Devi, Student Protests, Spiritual Visit</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Assam's Vidya Devi Visits Ajmer Dargah, Urges Respect for PM Amid Student Protests</h2>
<p>Assam's prominent figure, Pandit Vidya Devi, recently paid a devotional visit to the revered shrine of Sufi Saint Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti, affectionately known as Khwaja Garib Nawaz, in Ajmer. Her visit saw her offering a sacred 'chadar' and an array of fresh flowers, presenting her deep reverence at the world-renowned dargah.</p>
<p>During her time at the shrine, she immersed herself in the spiritual ambiance, enjoying soulful Sufi Qawwalis. She also participated in the community service by distributing 'langar' (a communal meal) among the general public and fellow devotees present there.</p>
<p>Syed Ahmed Ali Niazi, a khadim of the dargah, facilitated Vidya Devi and her companions during their 'ziarat' (pilgrimage). Following the spiritual journey, Syed Asif Ali Chishti performed the traditional 'dastar bandi' (turban tying) ceremony for all members of her delegation, presenting them with sacred 'prasad'.</p>
<h3>A Call for Respect Amidst Dissent</h3>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[After the trailer of Nitesh Tiwari's much-awaited film Ramayana was released, actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut shared a throwback picture from her school days on Instagram Stories. In the photo, a young Kangana is seen dressed as Goddess Sita during a school play. Sharing the image, Kangana took a sarcastic swipe by writing, "My blessings to all liberals." Her post comes at a time when actress Sai Pallavi's portrayal of Sita in Ramayana has been generating widespread discussion on social media. However, Kangana did not mention Sai Pallavi or the film directly in her post. Kangana dresses as Sita in school play Kangana Ranaut shared throwback photos from a school play on her Instagram Stories. In one picture, she is seen dressed as Goddess Sita in a red saree. A girl portraying Lord Ram stands beside her, while another child dressed as Lord Hanuman is seated near her feet. Kangana also tagged and mentioned the names of her friends who took part in the play. 'My blessings to all liberals' Kangana later shared a close-up picture from the same play, where she is seen with her hair down and her right hand raised in a blessing gesture. Along with the photo, she wrote, "My blessings to all liberals," followed by a laughing emoji. The post has sparked discussion online, with many social media users linking it to the recently released Ramayana trailer and the buzz around Sai Pallavi's portrayal of Sita, although Kangana did not mention the actress or the film directly. Sai Pallavi's Sita look sparks debate Following the release of the Ramayana trailer, South actress Sai Pallavi's portrayal of Goddess Sita has become a major talking point on social media. While many users have praised her graceful appearance and Hindi dialogue delivery, others have expressed mixed reactions and questioned aspects of her look and pronunciation. Amid the ongoing online debate, Kangana Ranaut's throwback post from her school days, in which she is seen dressed as Sita, has drawn attention and added to the discussion on social media. Kangana embroiled in controversy for calling Gen-Z 'Gutter Generation' Actually, recently Kangana wrote in an Instagram story, "The most shocking thing is the behavior of young Hindu women. They want to imitate the lives of independent and career-oriented women, but they don't want to earn that freedom. Women who are truly independent make rebellious decisions, hold outspoken opinions, choose careers outside of tradition, and take responsibility for all their decisions themselves, because they live life on their own terms. They don't do all this at the expense of their parents or family. This is the new generation of so-called Western-minded Indian women, whom I call 'Generation Gutter'." Meanwhile, regarding Kangana's 'Generation Gutter' statement, Sonu Sood said that if Kangana has said such a thing, it is very shameful. During a conversation with the media, Sonu Sood said that he has not heard Kangana's full statement, but such rhetoric should be avoided. Sonu said, 'It is these youngsters who make artists and help you reach this position. As long as they stand with you, you will keep moving forward.']]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Major Scare at Ajmer's JLN Hospital Emergency</h2>
<p>A significant accident was narrowly avoided at Ajmer's Jawaharlal Nehru (JLN) Hospital on Friday when a section of the false ceiling and plaster suddenly gave way in the emergency ward. The incident, which occurred above the casualty gate, caused a brief moment of panic.</p>
<p>Reports indicate that a female security guard, identified as Suman from Paharganj, sustained minor head injuries. She was reportedly guiding patients' relatives out of the emergency area when the structure collapsed directly onto her.</p>
<h2>Security Guard Injured, Larger Tragedy Averted</h2>
<p>Hospital staff quickly responded to the scene, attending to the injured guard and providing immediate first aid. Her condition is now reported as stable.</p>
<p>A major catastrophe was averted thanks to sheer luck; no patients or other visitors were passing through the area at the exact moment of the collapse. Had the timing been different, the outcome could have been far more severe.</p>
<h2>Maintenance Concerns Surface Amidst Recent Repairs</h2>
<p>Dr. Arvind Khare, the hospital superintendent, addressed the incident, stating that the affected section had recently undergone repair work by the Public Works Department (PWD). He highlighted that the hospital administration has repeatedly informed the department about the deteriorating condition of various parts of the hospital building.</p>
<p>Following this latest collapse, the PWD has once again been instructed to carry out necessary repairs. Sources reveal that the hospital administration has allocated over 4 crore rupees for building maintenance in the past year alone. Such recurring incidents, despite significant funding, raise serious questions about the effectiveness of the maintenance work and overall safety standards.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress Bhumi Pednekar has come under social media scrutiny after sharing videos and photos from her recent visit to a Shiva temple during the holy month of Sawan. The actress visited the temple to offer prayers and perform jal abhishek by pouring water on the Shivling. However, Bhumi's temple visit sparked criticism online after several users noticed that she was wearing black sunglasses while performing the ritual. After she shared the visuals on Instagram, many people took to the comments section, questioning why she did not remove her sunglasses during the Puja and calling it disrespectful. Bhumi shares temple visit on Instagram Bhumi Pednekar shared photos and a video from her Shiva temple visit on Instagram on Thursday. In the post, she is seen wearing a black top, blue denim jeans, and black sunglasses while offering water on the Shivling. Sharing the post, Bhumi wrote, "With the beginning of Sawan, I ask not for an easy life, but for the strength to live it with respect. Har Har Mahadev." 'At least she could have taken off her glasses while worshipping'
While many people praised Bhumi's devotion in this video, most users objected to her performing 'jalabhishek' (offering water) while wearing glasses. One user wrote, "Could she have worshipped after taking off her sunglasses??" Another user commented, "At least she could have taken off her glasses." Meanwhile, another user wrote, "Never seen anyone worshipping with glasses on." One user advised, "At least don't look at God with glasses, show some respect." Bhumi to Star in The Pride of Bharat On the work front, Bhumi Pednekar will next be seen in the two-part historical film The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. She will portray Rani Belawadi Mallamma, the courageous queen of Belawadi. Directed by Sandeep Singh, the film stars Rishab Shetty in the lead role, with Arjun Rampal and Vivek Oberoi playing key characters. Before this, Bhumi was seen in the web series Daldal.]]> </content:encoded>

Nitesh Tiwari is India's next big gift to the world of Indian cinema after Satyajit Ray and Shekhar Kapur. This film can win many awards for production design and cinematography (DOP). Its period world, created with the help of VFX and AI, is fantastic. Thanks also to the great musician Hans Zimmer for collaborating with Indian cinema. 
Advising Ranbir Kapoor, he wrote, Ranbir is now on par with Ranveer, two unparalleled stalwarts of the next generation. Yash, welcome to global cinema. RK, I have always liked you as an actor, but now your social responsibility begins to carry forward India's heritage, culture, values, and traditions. So no more films like 'Animal', no matter how big the offer. Please do not pollute your speech anymore. India has no shortage of stories to showcase your acting talent. At the end of the post, he wrote, I only hope that Indian audiences will accept Sai Pallavi as Sita. Also, I want Goswami Tulsidas ji's chaupais to be heard somewhere in the film amidst the tunes of mridangam and manjire. This is the sound of this epic that resides in the soul of every Indian. I would like to watch Nitesh Tiwari's grand film 'Ramayana' at least 5 times in honor of the hard work put into making it.

Singh said, “They have an MP who abused farmers during the farmers’ protest. She also made extremely objectionable remarks about the youth during their protest. Sir, I cannot repeat those words inside this House.” He further alleged, “The character of our daughters was questioned.” Singh then appealed to BJP national president JP Nadda, saying, “I request JP Nadda ji to counsel your MP.” He went on to remark, “She has only received one slap so far. There were just five finger marks. If you continue speaking like this, the youth of this country will grab your government and throw it into the gutter.” What did Kangana say? Recently Kangana wrote in an Instagram story, "The most shocking thing is the behaviour of young Hindu women. They want to imitate the lives of independent and career-oriented women, but they don't want to earn that freedom. Truly independent women make rebellious decisions, express bold opinions, choose careers outside traditions, and take responsibility for all their decisions themselves, because they live life on their own terms.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Mumtaz, one of the most popular actresses of the 1970s and 1980s, turns 79 on July 31. At the height of her career, her popularity was immense, with outfits she wore on screen often becoming fashion trends. Her beauty and charm also attracted marriage proposals from personalities like Yash Chopra and Shammi Kapoor. However, Mumtaz, who was deeply committed to her career, turned them all down. Ironically, there was a time when actors such as Shashi Kapoor and Jeetendra were reluctant to work with her because of her appearances in B-grade films. On her birthday, here's a look at some lesser-known stories from Mumtaz's life and career. Story-1 Watched Films Sitting on Lata Mangeshkar's Lap, Would Say, "Auntie, Call Me Next Time Too" Mumtaz was born on July 31, 1947, to Abdul Samad Akhsari, a dry-fruit vendor from Hyderabad. Her family had Iranian roots, and her father came from a lineage of imams. Her parents separated when she was just a year old, leaving her mother to raise Mumtaz and her elder sister, Malika, on her own. Her mother worked as a junior artist in films and eventually settled in Bombay. Mumtaz often accompanied her mother to film sets, where she would spend her time playing and watching films. Her frequent presence on sets eventually led to her first acting opportunity. At just five years old, she made her debut as a child artist in Sanskar. She later appeared as a child artist in films including Yasmin (1955), Sone Ki Chidiya (1958), Lajwanti (1958) and Talaq (1958). After getting work in films, the family's financial situation improved, and Mumtaz came to live with her mother in a building in Walkeshwar. Right above them was Lata Mangeshkar's house, where films were shown on 16MM. Being from the same industry, Lata showered a lot of affection on little Mumtaz. Whenever she started a film at home, she would call Mumtaz over. Lata would make her sit on her lap and watch the film, and she would soon fall asleep. But every time she left, she would say, "Aunty, whenever you watch a film, call me too." Many times, Lata Mangeshkar's brothers would drop her home while she was asleep. Story-2 Received news of mother's death on set, asked director - Can I leave? Spending the whole day on film sets, she soon started taking on family responsibilities. At the age of 12, she got a character role in 'Zameen Ke Tare' (1960). After seeing her performance in this film, famous director V. Shantaram gave her a good role in the film 'Stree'. One day, Mumtaz arrived on the set of the film 'Stree'. Mumtaz was giving a dance shot when news came from home - 'Mother is no more.' 13-year-old Mumtaz stood silently and after a while asked director V. Shantaram - 'What should I do, Anna?' V. Shantaram was flustered and said - 'You must go.' Mumtaz immediately left for Hyderabad. She attended the funeral and returned to the set the very next day. On this, Mumtaz had said in an interview given to Radio Nasha, 'In those days, even if someone died and the producer's set was ready, you had to go. You couldn't bankrupt the producer, because another producer's set was to be put up after them.' Anecdote - 3 Mehmood offered her a film after seeing her beauty, Shashi Kapoor rejected her calling her a B-grade actress At the age of 14, Mumtaz worked in the film 'Gehra Daag'. In the film, she played the role of hero Rajendra Kumar's sister. Around the same time, she got her first lead role with wrestler Dara Singh in the 1963 film 'Faulad'. Seeing Dara Singh's stature, no actress was ready to work with him, so Mumtaz was given this role. The pair was a hit, and then Mumtaz got a total of 16 films one after another with Dara Singh. Apart from these films, Mumtaz also worked in many B-grade films, although she did not gain much recognition. Mumtaz's elder sister Malika also entered films and did many films with comedian-actor Mehmood. One day, when Mehmood went to meet Malika for work, his eyes fell on Mumtaz. He kept staring at the extremely beautiful Mumtaz. When Mehmood was cast in the film 'Pyaar Kiye Jaa' alongside Shashi Kapoor and Kishore Kumar, he cast Mumtaz opposite him. However, her role in the film was small. One day, during a film shoot, Mehmood told Shashi Kapoor to cast Mumtaz in his upcoming films. Shashi Kapoor replied curtly, "No, I will never make that actress my heroine, who has done B-grade films with Dara Singh." Who knew that this actress from B-grade films would soon become a top and highest-paid actress. Story - 4 Mumtaz became Dilip Kumar's heroine at Mehmood's insistence After working together in the film 'Pyar Kiye Ja', Mehmood started casting Mumtaz in opposite roles in all his films. He had sensed that Mumtaz had the talent and passion to become a top actress. He also advised other heroes to work with Mumtaz. When Mehmood came to know that Dilip Kumar was doing the film 'Ram Aur Shyam', in which he had a double role, he directly went to recommend Mumtaz. At that time, Dilip Kumar was shooting at RK Studio. Mehmood went to him and said, "There's a new girl, very talented, please work with her." Dilip Kumar replied, "I am busy right now, bring the girl's photo during the lunch break." Mehmood, in a hurry, went to a studio and brought back the entire reel of Mumtaz's song. During the lunch break, when he showed Dilip Kumar Mumtaz's reel, he said, "Buddy Mehmood, the girl looks very good, she's beautiful, she dances too, she's a very lovely girl. I will do it. It's a double role, one is Waheeda, the other will be Mumtaz." The film 'Ram Aur Shyam' was a hit and Mumtaz gained recognition nationwide. Story- 5 Jeetendra refused to work together, Director said - If there is an objection, I will change the hero, not the heroine. Before the film Ram Aur Shyam was released, Mumtaz got work in the film Bandhan (1967). Jeetendra and director V. Shantaram's daughter Rajshree were in the lead roles, and Mumtaz had a side role. Just before the film's shooting began, Rajshree's marriage was fixed, and she left the film. In this scenario, V. Shantaram gave Mumtaz the lead role in the film. As soon as Jeetendra received this news, he immediately called the director and objected. He said, 'Why did you make her the heroine? Find another heroine.' The reply was, 'Mumtaz will be the heroine; if you have a problem, then you leave the film.' It was V. Shantaram who had made Jeetendra a hero, so Jeetendra was forced to do the film. Similarly, Shashi Kapoor was cast in the 1969 film Do Raaste. Later, when Mumtaz was cast, Shashi Kapoor left the film. Rajesh Khanna was later signed for this film. The film's song 'Bindiya Chamkegi, Choodi Khankegi' was a big hit. Story-6 Gave up Mercedes for Amitabh Amitabh Bachchan was new to the industry when he got work with Mumtaz in the film "Bandhe Haath". Mumtaz was quite popular by then. Her success can be gauged from the fact that while Amitabh Bachchan used to come in an ordinary car, Mumtaz would arrive on set in a Mercedes. Amitabh really liked her car. One day he told his co-workers, "I like this car, watch, one day I will also drive a Mercedes." Somehow, this remark reached Mumtaz's ears. That day, when she finished shooting and left, she took Amitabh's car and left her own on the set. When Amitabh came out, he couldn't find his car. When he asked around, the guard told him that Mumtaz had left her car for him so he could drive it. Amitabh took her car home, and in this way, Mumtaz fulfilled Amitabh's wish. Story - 7 When Shammi Kapoor proposed her, Raj Kapoor removed her from Mera Naam Joker Giving hit films, Mumtaz became a big actress. Around the same time in 1968, she was cast with Shammi Kapoor in the film Brahmachari. Working together, they started liking each other. After its release, the film became a superhit and its songs 'Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche', 'Chakke Mein Chakka', 'Chakke Pe Gaadi' became very popular. Some time after the film's release, Shammi Kapoor and Mumtaz got into a relationship. After some time, Shammi Kapoor proposed marriage to her. Mumtaz also wanted to get married, but Raj Kapoor put a condition that if she wanted to marry, Mumtaz would have to stop working in films; the daughters-in-law of our house do not work. Mumtaz was at the peak of her career at that time and did not want to quit work due to family responsibilities. Shammi Kapoor also promised to provide financial help to her family, but Mumtaz sacrificed love for her career. At the time when Mumtaz and Shammi Kapoor's marriage was being discussed, Raj Kapoor cast her in the role of a foreign woman in the film Mera Naam Joker. As soon as he found out that Shammi wanted to marry her, Raj Kapoor removed Mumtaz from the film. Raj Kapoor had told Mumtaz - I cannot take you. I will not give such an open role to family members. Later, Russian actress Ksenia was cast in place of Mumtaz. Story - 8 Refused to play Dev Anand's sister in the film Mumtaz worked with Dev Anand in the 1971 film Tere Mere Sapne. A few years later, she was offered the film Hare Rama Hare Krishna, but was told that she had to play Dev Sahab's sister. Mumtaz immediately refused. She said, "I will never play the role of a sister to such a romantic hero." Hearing this, Dev Anand laughed heartily and said, "You will work in the film, but as my heroine." Later, Zeenat Aman was given the role of the sister, and Mumtaz played the lead role opposite Dev Anand. This film was a huge hit. Anecdote - 9 Rajesh Khanna used to get upset when Mumtaz worked with other heroes Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz had a very deep friendship. Whenever Mumtaz signed a film with another actor, Rajesh Khanna would get upset about it. To this, Mumtaz would tell him - You also sign films with other actresses, I don't get upset. With this habit of hers, she used to pacify Rajesh Khanna. 
Story-10 Married at 24 and left films, in-laws stopped her from working Mumtaz was at the peak of her career when her family arranged her marriage with Mayur Madhvani, a wealthy businessman from Uganda. In conservative Muslim families, it was customary to marry early. When her family pressured her, Mumtaz couldn't say no. She returned the signing amounts for most of her films and completed the shooting of the unfinished ones. In 1974, she married Mayur and settled in Uganda. Even before the marriage, her husband's brother clearly stated that Mumtaz would have to quit working in films. After marriage, she had 3-4 miscarriages. She has two daughters, named Natasha and Tanya. Her elder daughter Natasha is married to actor Fardeen Khan. Fardeen's father Feroz Khan and Mumtaz are close friends. Story - 11 Before his death, Shammi Kapoor expressed a wish to meet Mumtaz; when they met, she broke down in tears In 2010, Mumtaz was in India when she received a call from Shammi Kapoor's wife, Neela Devi. Neela told her that Shammi Kapoor wished for her to come to his birthday party. Mumtaz replied, 'I will definitely come.' As soon as she arrived at the party, she saw Shammi Kapoor drinking alcohol. Everyone associated with the film industry knew that Shammi Kapoor's health had been deteriorating for several months. Mumtaz came closer and said- 'If you are not well, why are you drinking alcohol?' Shammi Kapoor replied- 'I am not going to live for long.' That day, Mumtaz learned that Shammi Kapoor had only a few months left. She became emotional and said- 'You can drink. Enjoy yourself.' After some time, Mumtaz left from there. As she left, she just said- 'Take care of yourself.']]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Main dil mein aata hoon, samajh mein nahi. Salman Khan’s most famous dialogue from the film ‘Kick’ perhaps also describes him the best. A superstar who has survived controversies, setbacks and criticism, yet continues to maintain an extraordinary fan following. Whether it is standing up for students or extending help to Assam flood victims recently, Salman continues to make headlines both on and off screen. You may love him, hate him, criticise him or celebrate him, but after more than three decades, one thing is sure: Salman Khan cannot be ignored. Salman Khan remains one of Bollywood’s most enduring and magnetic stars. Fans call him Bhaijaan. His career spans decades of blockbusters, television dominance, and a larger-than-life persona, even as personal and legal challenges have marked his path. Let's get into the flashback story of Salman in our weekly segment “Flashback Friday.”
Salman's childhood was spent in Indore Salman was born in Indore and spent school holidays in the city in the 1980s, cycling and riding motorcycles on Indore roads, where he first developed his love for driving. He enjoyed plucking raw mangoes and jamuns. He studied at Scindia School in Gwalior and St. Stanislaus High School in Mumbai. Salman's aunt threw him into the well in childhood
A memorable anecdote from the book Being Salman (shared by a close relative) was when young Salman used to fear swimming. One day his “badi ammi” (aunt) tied a rope around him and pushed him into the neighbourhood well; that’s how he learned to swim. Was a big fan of actress Rekha, used to follow her by cycle Salman was fond of Rekha since childhood. Rekha once recalled on Bigg Boss Season 8 that when she went for morning walks, a 6–8-year-old Salman would cycle behind her. He went home and told his family he would marry “that girl” when he grew up. On the show, Salman smiled and joked that this might be the reason why he never married; Rekha quipped that she never married for the same reason. The two later worked together in Biwi Ho To Aisi, which was Salman's debut film. They shared a special performance in the song “Rafta Rafta” from Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se (2018). His entry in films was not that of a typical star kid Director J.K. Bihari of his first film Biwi Ho To Aisi recalled spotting a slim, fair young man carrying a photo file while crossing the road near his office on 15th Road in Khar. The filmmaker felt instantly that this was the boy he needed for a small role (Rekha’s brother-in-law / Farooq Sheikh’s younger brother). He cast Salman after looking at his photos, no audition. Salman was stunned. Got rejected for thin body At the time, Salman had been rejected by many offices for his thin body. He was told he lacked “hero” qualities. He never mentioned that he was Salim Khan’s son and approached work like any struggling newcomer. When Bihari later learned of the family connection, his respect grew. Salim Khan simply told Bihari to make a good film with the new boy and did not interfere.
Used to secretly go to the gym He was skinny as a boy but developed an interest in bodybuilding in Indore after watching family members exercise. In Mumbai, he trained at the gym in Sea Rock Hotel by the sea. There he befriended Mohanish Behl. He often went to the gym secretly; if someone spotted him, he would pay them ₹100 not to tell the family. He typically works out 5–6 days a week for 45 minutes to an hour. Maine Pyar Kiya made him an overnight star Biwi Ho To Aisi was noticed for Salman’s small part. Then came Rajshri’s Maine Pyar Kiya, which made him an overnight star. During the casting process for this film, he kept going to Rajshri for six months. Before being cast, he kept recommending other actors for the role Even while being rejected himself, he would recommend friends for trials. When Sooraj Barjatya’s team came to Bihari’s set intending to turn him down, Salman’s humility impressed them, and they finalised him. Bihari tore up Salman’s three-film contract so he could take Rajshri's offer. Earned ₹25,000 for the 1st film, dreamt of earning ₹10 lakh His first fee for Biwi Ho To Aisi was about ₹25,000; Maine Pyar Kiya started around ₹31,000 and rose to ₹75,000. Before films, he earned ₹75 as a background dancer at a Taj Hotel show, then ₹750 for a Campa Cola advertisement, later around ₹1,500. He once shared that he dreamt of earning ₹10 lakh, which he achieved with his second film.
Salman became one of Hindi cinema’s biggest stars After a few films, Salman became one of the eminent stars of Bollywood with hits including Tere Naam, Wanted, Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg 2 and the Dabangg franchise. He hosted Bigg Boss for multiple seasons and Dus Ka Dum. His only notable failure in a stretch of successes was Veer. Notably, Salman has interest in script writing; he wrote scripts for films 'Baaghi',' Veer' and ‘Chandramukhi.’ He is among the industry’s highest-paid actors, reportedly over ₹100 crore per film plus profit shares. His reportedly estimated net worth is around ₹2,900 crore. Salman Khan once wanted to buy Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat Salman Khan once revealed that he had considered buying the sea-facing bungalow that is now known as Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic home, Mannat. However, his father, screenwriter Salim Khan, reportedly asked him what he would do with such a huge house. Salman later recalled that he realised he had no real need for such a massive property and dropped the idea. The bungalow eventually became synonymous with Shah Rukh Khan and is now one of Mumbai’s most celebrity landmarks. His marriage has always remained the talking point Salman's marriage has always been the talking point, wherever he has gone. His personal life has often made as many headlines as his films. Over the years, he has been linked with several high-profile actresses, but despite the speculation and public interest, he has remained one of Bollywood's most eligible bachelors. He once shared on the sets of Bigg Boss that he was in 5 serious relationships, which his fans assumed were with- His controversies and challenges One of the longest-running cases involving him was the blackbuck poaching case of 1998, which dates back to the shooting of Hum Saath-Saath Hain in Rajasthan. He was accused of hunting two blackbucks in Kankani village. Jailed for 5 years in 2018 Salman was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison in 2018, though he has maintained his innocence. The case has continued to remain part of public discourse, including recently when the Delhi High Court ordered the removal of a teaser that referenced the case. Other major controversies- Despite these controversies, Salman has repeatedly bounced back professionally, delivering major blockbusters and maintaining one of the industry's most loyal fan bases. Salman Khan’s humanitarian efforts beyond cinema Actor Salman Khan has launched a multi-level relief operation through his charitable foundation, Being Human, to provide essential supplies in flood-hit areas in Assam. Also, recently he supported students during the CJP protest in Delhi. Three decades, countless blockbusters, controversies and comebacks later, Salman Khan continues to rule millions of hearts.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actor Sonu Sood has criticised Kangana Ranaut's recent remarks about young people participating in student protests. Kangana had referred to the protesting Gen-Z students as the "Gutter Generation." Reacting to her statement, Sonu said that making such comments is "very shameful." Speaking to the media, Sonu said that it is the youth who make actors into stars and help them achieve success. He urged celebrities to choose their words carefully and added that the public should always be respected because "the public is another form of God." 'Think Before You Speak' During the interaction, Sonu said he had not heard Kangana's full statement but believed such remarks should be avoided. He said, "These are the youth who make artists and help them reach where they are today. As long as they stand with you, you will continue to move forward." He added that without the support of the people, sustaining success becomes difficult. Referring to the saying "Tole-mole ke bol" (weigh your words before speaking), Sonu said people should think carefully before making public statements, as the public deserves respect and should never be taken for granted. Kangana called protesting youth 'gutter generation' The controversy began after BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut shared a series of posts on her Instagram Stories targeting young people participating in the CJP protests. Referring to the protesters as the "Gutter Generation," she alleged that many of them glorify alcohol, drugs, and casual relationships while depending on their parents for financial support. Kangana also said that true freedom is earned through hard work and responsibility, and that demanding freedom without taking responsibility is not the right approach. Kangana had written on media, The most shocking thing is the behavior of young Hindu women. They want to imitate the lives of independent and career-oriented women, but they don't want to earn that freedom. Women who are truly independent make rebellious decisions, express frank opinions, choose careers outside of tradition, and take responsibility for all their decisions themselves, because they live life on their own terms. They don't do all this at the expense of their parents or family. This is the new generation of so-called Western-minded Indian women, whom I call 'Generation Gutter'. She further wrote, Some of them have nothing to give to society. They are not good at studies, and their thinking is so ugly and their mentality so corrupt that they cannot even become good homemakers. Yet, they openly display their so-called freedom to do drugs, drink alcohol, or have physical relationships with many people. They shamelessly depend on their parents' earnings and keep demanding to live an independent life without actually being self-reliant. A humble reminder: an independent life has to be earned. If you try to live an independent life without taking responsibility, then you are just a distorted personality - 'gutter trash'. Additionally, Kangana wrote in another Instagram story, Protesters are being beaten and abused on the streets by common people because of their dirty and insulting reels. They should understand that when you speak, you also have to listen. If you damage public property, the same public will also harm you. If you have a problem with the country and its leadership and have publicly used a lot of foul language, then now listen to those who love this country and brought this government to power with the strength of their votes. Because they also have the right to speak. Now there's nothing to cry about.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Amidst the ongoing war of words with BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut, CJP spokesperson Saurav Das said that one of his friends told him that he looks like young Hrithik Roshan. In a conversation with journalist Barkha Dutt on 'The Mojo Story', Saurav said that he has no personal animosity towards Kangana. Saurav said that he had also appealed to Kangana through his Instagram story to remain calm and sit down for a conversation. According to him, differences should be resolved through dialogue because the culture of discussion and debate in the country is continuously weakening. Saurav further stated that his friends also raised questions about this. He shared, 'My friends were also messaging me asking why she is after you now? One of them said that I somewhat resemble young Hrithik Roshan.' However, Saurav expressed surprise at this. When Saurav was asked if he would like to meet Kangana for coffee, he said he had no objection to it. According to him, he holds no personal animosity towards anyone, not even BJP MPs. Kangana flared up at Saurav Das's statement Notably, earlier, actress and MP Kangana Ranaut, who had been continuously criticising student protests, flared up at the statement made by Saurav Das, spokesperson for the 'Cockroach Janta Party'.  Regarding Kangana's anti-protest statements, Saurav had said that even her own party doesn't take her seriously, so others shouldn't either. Kangana flared up at Saurav's statement and, in response, called him unemployed and useless. Read the full news here Ever since the resignation of former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Kangana Ranaut has been continuously giving statements on social media against the 'Cockroach Janta Party' and student protests. On Tuesday, Kangana wrote on social media, Protesters are being beaten and abused on the streets by common people because of their dirty and insulting reels. They should understand that when you speak, you also have to listen. If you damage public property, the same public will also harm you. If you have a problem with the country and its leadership and have publicly hurled many dirty abuses, then now listen to those who love this country and brought this government to power with the strength of their votes. Because they also have the right to speak. There is nothing to cry about now. Additionally, Kangana had written in another Instagram story, The most surprising thing is the behaviour of young Hindu women. They want to imitate the lives of independent and career-oriented women, but they don't want to earn that freedom. Truly independent women make rebellious decisions, express frank opinions, choose careers outside of traditions, and take responsibility for all their decisions themselves, because they live life on their own terms.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>High-Stakes Bribe Bust Shakes Jaipur Collectorate</h2>
<p>Jaipur's Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) launched a major trap operation on Wednesday, arresting Mukesh Chaudhary, personal assistant (PA) to RAS officer Narendra Kumar Verma, who works at the ADM East office. Chaudhary was caught red-handed accepting a bribe of ₹1 lakh. This swift action has sent shockwaves through the Jaipur Collectorate and other government departments.</p>
<p>The incident unfolded around 2 PM on Wednesday, right within the ADM East office located in the Jaipur Collectorate. The ACB had laid the trap following a complaint regarding pending bills.</p>
<h2>The Logistics Scam Unravels</h2>
<p>According to information obtained, the complainant had provided logistical support using 80 to 100 vehicles. These vehicles were crucial for transporting question papers and OMR sheets to examination centers and bringing them back to the ADM office during recent Forester and Second Grade recruitment exams.</p>
<p>The bills for this extensive logistic support amounted to approximately ₹16 to ₹17 lakh, which had been pending for clearance. It is alleged that Mukesh Chaudhary demanded a bribe to facilitate the approval of these substantial bills.</p>
<h2>From Demand to Arrest: The ACB's Operation</h2>
<p>Initially, Chaudhary reportedly demanded ₹1.50 lakh from the complainant to clear the bills. After some negotiation, the bribe amount was settled at ₹1 lakh. The complainant then approached the ACB, which verified the complaint before planning the trap.</p>
<p>Additional SP ACB Sunil Sihag revealed that the accused was demanding a commission of about 10 percent to pass the bills. Early investigations also suggest that Chaudhary allegedly claimed the bribe money was needed to purchase a laptop.</p>
<h2>Broader Investigation Underway</h2>
<p>The ACB is now intensely scrutinizing technical evidence and other documents. Investigators are working to determine whether Mukesh Chaudhary acted alone in this bribery case or if other officers or employees are also involved.</p>
<p>Currently, the ACB is interrogating the accused, and a detailed investigation into the matter is ongoing. Authorities anticipate further significant revelations in the coming days as the probe continues.</p>

<p>Pushkar, a renowned pilgrimage town, has reported a distressing incident where an elderly woman visiting for darshan and a holy dip lost gold ornaments valued at approximately ₹7 lakh. The theft reportedly took place on Wednesday afternoon as she was boarding a bus headed for Ajmer.</p>
<p>The incident occurred near the Marwar Bus Stand, close to the State Hospital and a police outpost, adding to concerns about security in the busy area. Bholuram, the victim's son, has filed a written complaint with the Pushkar Police, urging immediate action.</p>
<h2>How the Incident Unfolded</h2>
<p>According to the complaint, Kali Devi, a resident of Shokaliya village in the Sarwar region, arrived in Pushkar on July 29 with other women from her village. After completing her rituals at the revered Pushkar Sarovar, she proceeded to board the Ajmer-bound bus between 1:30 PM and 2:00 PM on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Her son, Bholuram, detailed how a suspicious woman was allegedly seen trailing his mother, seemingly observing her movements and jewellery. Once on the bus, this individual reportedly sat unusually close to Kali Devi.</p>
<p>The alleged thief then purportedly feigned a fall, embracing Kali Devi in the process. The elderly woman, unaware of the sinister act unfolding, did not suspect anything amiss at the time. The suspect quickly disembarked from the bus a short distance later.</p>
<h2>Discovery and Police Investigation</h2>
<p>It was only when the bus conductor requested fare that Kali Devi checked her belongings. To her shock, five gold ornaments, weighing around four tolas and collectively estimated at ₹7 lakh, were missing.</p>
<p>She immediately informed her son, Bholuram, about the theft. The family suspects the thief exploited the crowded bus and the rush of boarding passengers to cut or snatch the jewellery, though the actual circumstances will only be clear after the police investigation.</p>
<p>Pushkar Police have launched an investigation based on Bholuram's complaint. Authorities are now meticulously reviewing CCTV footage from the Marwar Bus Stand, State Hospital, and surrounding areas to identify the suspect and piece together the exact sequence of events.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The Human Body's Tiny Secret: A Bone Smaller Than a Rice Grain</h2>
<p>The human body is an intricate marvel of nature, a complex structure supported by a robust skeletal system. We commonly know that an adult human typically has 206 bones, providing shape and strength to our frame. But tucked away within this vast network is an astonishing fact: one of these bones is so minuscule, it's smaller than a single grain of rice.</p>
<p>This tiny, yet incredibly vital, bone is hidden deep within one of our most crucial sensory organs: the ear. Despite its diminutive size, its function is monumental. Should it become damaged or cease to operate correctly, a person's ability to hear could be severely compromised.</p>
<h2>Meet the Stapes: The Body's Smallest Bone</h2>
<p>So, which bone holds the title for the smallest in the human body? It's called the Stapes, often referred to as the "stirrup bone" due to its resemblance to a horse's stirrup. This little wonder measures a mere 2 to 3 millimeters in length, making it truly smaller than a tiny grain of rice.</p>
<p>Yet, the Stapes plays an absolutely critical role in the complex process of human hearing. Its small stature belies its immense importance in our daily lives.</p>
<h2>Where This Miniature Bone Resides</h2>
<p>The Stapes isn't just floating around; it's precisely located within the middle ear. Here, it works in concert with two other small bones: the Malleus (hammer) and the Incus (anvil). Together, these three are known as the auditory ossicles, forming a chain that is essential for sound transmission.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> The three auditory ossicles (Malleus, Incus, and Stapes) are not only the smallest bones in the body but also the only ones that don't grow in size after birth.</div>
<h2>How the Stapes Helps You Hear</h2>
<p>The process of hearing is a remarkable chain of events. When sound waves reach our ear, they first strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. These vibrations are then transferred sequentially through the Malleus, Incus, and finally to the Stapes.</p>
<p>The Stapes then transmits these vibrations to the oval window, a membrane in the inner ear. Inside the inner ear, specialized fluids and cells convert these mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. These signals travel via the auditory nerve to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.</p>
<p>It's clear that if the Stapes fails to perform its duty correctly, sound cannot be properly relayed to the brain, leading to significant hearing difficulties. While the Stapes is indeed tiny and delicate, it is generally well-protected within the ear and doesn't easily break during normal activities.</p>
<p>However, certain situations can affect this crucial bone. These include severe head injuries, deep ear trauma, rare medical conditions, or specific ear diseases.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Annu Kapoor's journey from Bhopal to Mumbai was marked by immense struggle. Financial hardships forced him to drop out of school, and he took up several jobs to support his family, including selling tea, running a chaat stall, selling lottery tickets and driving an auto-rickshaw. His dream of becoming an IAS officer was cut short by poverty, but acting eventually gave him a new identity. He arrived in Mumbai with just ₹419.25 in his pocket and was initially rejected because of his looks. But his talent proved that success is not defined by appearance. His remarkable performances eventually earned him a National Award, establishing him as one of India's most respected actors. In today's success story, let's learn about Annu Kapoor's career and personal life Poverty snatched away the dream of becoming an IAS officer Born on 20 February, 1956, in an ordinary family in Bhopal, Annu Kapoor's childhood was spent amidst financial difficulties. His father, Madanlal Kapoor, ran a Parsi theatre, while his mother, Kamal Shabnam, was a classical singer and teacher. There was an artistic atmosphere at home, but the financial situation was so weak that even arranging two meals a day became difficult. Annu Kapoor was good in studies and his dream was to become an IAS officer, but the family's condition forced him to give up this dream. Did every odd job to run the family When the responsibility of supporting his family fell on him, Annu Kapoor never considered any job beneath him. In an interview, he recalled, “I sold tea and ran a fried-food stall to make a living. Struggles were not new to me; I had faced hardships since childhood.” He also ran a chaat stall, sold lottery tickets and drove an auto-rickshaw. His priority was simply to make ends meet and support his family. Yet, despite the financial struggles, his dream of becoming an actor never faded. Theatre became the turning point Coming from a family with a strong connection to theatre, Annu Kapoor was drawn to acting from an early age. His father performed on stage, inspiring him to pursue theatre. He eventually joined the National School of Drama (NSD), where his acting journey began to take shape. But even at NSD, he faced rejection. During an audition conducted by renowned theatre director Barry John, Annu Kapoor reportedly scored the highest marks but was denied the role because he did not have the “right face” for the character. Recalling the incident, he said, “I had scored the highest marks, but I was told that I didn't have the face for the character. That day, I was deeply disturbed.” The rejection became a turning point. He decided to prove that an actor's talent mattered more than appearance—and built his identity through his performances. The role of a 70-year-old man gave him identity During his NSD days, Annu Kapoor played the role of a 70-year-old man in the play 'Ek Ruka Hua Faisla' (A Halted Decision). He was about 25 years old at the time, but his acting was so impressive that the audience could not guess his real age. Coincidentally, director Shyam Benegal also came to watch the play. Shyam Benegal was impressed by Annu Kapoor's performance and chose him for the film 'Mandi' (1983). This is where the struggling theatre artist's film journey began. After learning the nuances of acting at NSD, Annu Kapoor faced the question - what next? Theatre was giving him recognition, but not a livelihood. So, he moved to Mumbai, where millions of people come with dreams and thousands of dreams are shattered. Arrived in Mumbai with only ₹419 and 25 paise in his pocket The decision to come to Mumbai was not easy. There were only 419 rupees and 25 paise in his pocket. There was no confirmed place to stay and no guarantee of getting work in films. In an interview given to the Times of India, Annu Kapoor had said that he only had ₹419.25 when he came to Mumbai. He was confident that if he acted honestly, he would surely gain recognition one day. Repeatedly rejected because of his face As soon as he reached Mumbai, he realized that not just acting, but also one's face mattered here. In that era, artists who were tall, fair, and looked like traditional heroes were given preference in Hindi films. Annu Kapoor did not fit these standards. Rejections were continuous, but he had decided that if he couldn't become a hero, he would become an actor whom people could never forget. Shyam Benegal changed his fate During NSD, director Shyam Benegal was already impressed by his acting in a play. He gave Annu Kapoor a chance in the 1983 film 'Mandi'. The role was small, but big directors in the industry noticed him. After that, he never looked back. Slowly, he played different characters in films like 'Utsav', 'Chameli Ki Shaadi', 'Mr. India', 'Tezaab', 'Ram Lakhan'. Even if his presence on screen was only for a few minutes, the audience could not ignore him. His real name is Anil Kapoor Annu Kapoor's real name is Anil Kapoor. In many interviews, he has narrated the story of becoming Annu from Anil. After entering films, he changed his name from Anil to Annu. According to Annu, Anil Kapoor and I entered films almost at the same time. To avoid confusion, one of us had to change our name, so I changed mine. Created a distinct identity in every role Annu Kapoor did not limit himself to one type of role. He played all kinds of characters: comic, serious, villainous, and emotional. His specialty was that he didn't just act out his characters, he lived them. It is often said in the film industry that "no role is small." Annu Kapoor proved this true with his career. TV made him a household name He was getting work in films, but his real popularity came from TV. In 1993, he started hosting the music-based show 'Antakshari'. His style was unique. Excellent Hindi-Urdu, quick wit, poetry, shayari, and musical knowledge set him apart from other anchors. Gradually, people started watching Annu Kapoor more than the show. On Sunday evenings, families would sit in front of the TV during 'Antakshari'. From children to elders, everyone became a fan of his anchoring. Even today, Annu Kapoor's name is counted among the popular hosts of Indian television. But before this show, Annu Kapoor remained unemployed for four and a half months. His pockets were empty, and to save one meal, he would sleep late in the morning. In a special conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, he mentioned that period. Saw a time for four and a half months when there wasn't a single rupee in his pocket Annu Kapoor says - Many ups and downs came in my life, but I can never forget the four and a half month period that started on May 4, 1992. That was the most difficult time of my life. I lived in a small room, the rent of which was only one thousand rupees. The situation was such that there wasn't a single rupee in my pocket. There was no check, no shooting, and no work. The whole day passed empty. At night, I used to go to my friends' houses to play cards to lighten my mood. In the morning, I deliberately woke up late, because waking up late meant I could directly have lunch, saving one meal. That period shook me to the core. Driver said - It would be a sin if I left you in bad times During that difficult period, I can never forget the support my driver, Keshav Dutt, gave me. I had told him to find another job. I could get him a position with a senior officer at HLL. There, he would get a salary of 2000 rupees instead of 750 rupees. Listening to me, he said, "Sir, I am a Brahmin. It's fine if I leave you in good times, but if I leave you in bad times, I will incur sin. Even if you can't pay my salary right now, I am still with you." Such loyal people are found only by the fortunate. Watched the first episode of 'Antakshari' and life changed About four and a half months later, a person gave me an advance of 5000 rupees for a video film being made in Delhi. This brought some relief. But the real turning point came on September 3, 1993. That day, as usual, I was playing cards at a friend's house. Around eight o'clock at night, my friend's wife said, "Hey Annu ji, you're on TV." I turned around and saw that the first episode of 'Antakshari' was playing on Zee TV, which I had shot about a month and a half earlier. I put down the playing cards and watched the entire show. After the show ended, my friend told me, "It's a Pandit's word, from today onwards, you will never have to look back in life." His words proved true. 'Antakshari' changed my life and after that, I never had to struggle like that again. Preferred to be called an actor, not a star When many artists were in the race to become heroes, Annu Kapoor's perspective was different. He had said in an interview, "I didn't come to become a star, I wanted to be an actor. Stardom is for some time, acting lasts forever." This very thought was reflected throughout his career. He never waited for big banners or big roles. Whatever character he got, he played it with complete honesty. 'Vicky Donor' changed the picture of his career After working in films and television for nearly three decades, Annu Kapoor's career had a major turning point in 2012. He played the character of Dr. Baldev Chaddha in director Shoojit Sircar's film 'Vicky Donor'. The film had a unique subject and Annu Kapoor's acting was considered one of its biggest strengths. His comic timing, Punjabi accent, and the character's energy won the hearts of both audiences and critics. For this role, he received the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor. This honor became a recognition of his nearly three decades of struggle and hard work. Kept changing himself in every era Annu Kapoor chose new characters instead of repeating himself. In films like '7 Khoon Maaf', 'Aitraaz', 'Jolly LLB 2', 'Dream Girl', he proved that his acting matured with age. He also worked on web platforms, radio, and television. In the radio show 'Suhana Safar with Annu Kapoor', his knowledge of Hindi cinema and music impressed the listeners. Along with acting, his understanding of language, literature, and music also became his distinct identity. An incident that changed his thinking Annu Kapoor often says that struggle makes a person strong. He said that poverty taught him not to consider any work small. In an interview, he had said, "I never considered any work small in life. The work done honestly is what takes a person forward." He gained fame, but remained grounded Even after achieving success, Annu Kapoor did not forget his days of struggle. He says that at one point it was difficult to run the household, but he did not let circumstances become a weakness. He believes that an artist's greatest asset is their talent, not their face or stardom. Turned rejection into strength Annu Kapoor's story is a lesson for those who give up after one or two failures. He was often denied work simply because he didn't look like a traditional film hero. But he turned his perceived weakness into strength. Today, his name is counted among those artists in Bollywood who can make any character memorable.]]> </content:encoded>

Emotional confrontations and unexpected betrayals became a regular feature, keeping viewers hooked until the finale.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Oscar-winning Irish singer, songwriter, and actor Glen Hansard died in a motorcycle accident in Dublin on July 29. He was 56. The sudden news has left fans and the music industry in shock.  Hansard was widely known for starring in the 2007 musical film Once and for co-writing and performing the Oscar-winning song Falling Slowly, which brought him global recognition. Died in a Motorcycle Accident According to Irish media reports, Hansard was involved in a fatal motorcycle crash in Dublin.  His representatives later confirmed the news of his death. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time as tributes continue to pour in from around the world.  Hansard had been active in the music industry for more than three decades and was regarded as one of Ireland's most respected musicians. Irish Prime Minister Pays Tribute Following Hansard's death, Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Micheál Martin paid tribute to the late musician. In his condolence message, Martin praised Hansard's contribution to Irish music and culture, saying his songs touched millions of people across the world.  He added that Hansard's work would continue to inspire generations of musicians and music lovers. Won an Oscar for Falling Slowly Hansard rose to international fame with the film Once, in which he starred alongside Czech musician Markéta Irglová.

The film later inspired a successful Broadway musical, further cementing Hansard's place in the world of music and cinema. A Career Beyond Once Before becoming an Oscar winner, Hansard was the lead vocalist of the Irish rock band The Frames.  He later formed the folk duo The Swell Season with Markéta Irglová and also built a successful solo career. Apart from his music, he was known for supporting charitable causes, especially initiatives that helped homeless people in Ireland. Leaves Behind His Family Hansard is survived by his wife, Finnish poet Maire Saaritsa, and their young son. The couple kept their personal life away from the public eye. As news of his passing spread, fans, fellow musicians, and public figures remembered Glen Hansard not only for his award-winning music but also for his kindness, humility, and lasting contribution to Irish culture.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Jaipur, Cow Shelter, Fraud, Rajasthan</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jaipur is currently abuzz with news of a significant financial scandal unearthed within its cow shelters. A staggering ₹57.36 crore fraud has come to light, prompting the state government to take immediate and stringent action.</p>
<p>The scam, which reportedly impacted 38 cow shelters, involved a shocking allegation: the manipulation of records to show 1.31 lakh deceased cattle as still alive. This elaborate scheme was allegedly designed to illicitly claim fodder grants, siphoning off substantial public funds meant for animal welfare.</p>
<h2>Government Mandates Digital Overhaul</h2>
<p>Responding swiftly to the revelations, Gopalan Minister Joraram Kumawat has issued a series of directives aimed at preventing any future malpractices. His instructions underscore a firm commitment to transparency and accountability within the state's cow shelter system.</p>
<p>A primary directive mandates 100% digital tagging for all cattle across these shelters. This ambitious initiative is set to be completed by September 30. Each bovine will be equipped with a special chip and a distinct colored tag, creating an undeniable digital identity.</p>
<p>To support this, a brand-new software system is currently under development. This platform will bring all cow shelter records online, establishing a centralized and transparent database. The move aims to make it virtually impossible for fraudulent claims or data manipulation to occur.</p>
<h2>Streamlining Operations and Accountability</h2>
<p>Beyond the digital transformation, Minister Kumawat also emphasized the need to accelerate the grant distribution process for legitimate cow shelters. Additionally, instructions have been given to simplify the rules for land allotment, aiming to create a more efficient and supportive environment for genuine welfare organizations.</p>
<p>The government's firm stance signals a clear message: a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, especially when it impacts animal welfare initiatives. This crackdown is expected to bring much-needed reforms and transparency to a crucial sector.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Major Fake Aadhaar Racket Unearthed in Rajasthan</h2>
<p>A significant fraudulent operation involving Aadhaar cards has come to light in Rajasthan. Investigators have unearthed a sophisticated racket using stolen software to generate fake Aadhaar cards and manipulate existing ones, raising serious concerns about the integrity of digital identity.</p>
<p>This widespread scam reportedly involves altering personal details on Aadhaar cards for a price. The revelations point towards a well-organized network exploiting vulnerabilities in the system.</p>
<h2>The Price of Deception: Age Manipulation for ₹2,000</h2>
<p>One alarming aspect of this scam involves illegally altering ages on Aadhaar cards. For a payment of around ₹2,000, individuals could reportedly have their age increased by as much as 11 years.</p>
<p>Such age manipulation could have far-reaching implications, potentially allowing individuals to bypass age restrictions for various government schemes, employment opportunities, or even legal processes.</p>
<h2>Beyond Aadhaar: The Fake Death Certificate Game</h2>
<p>The scope of this deception extends even further. The investigation also revealed the creation of fake death certificates, primarily to facilitate fraudulent claims for loan waivers.</p>
<p>This particular scheme targets financial institutions and government programs designed to offer relief, undermining their purpose and causing significant monetary losses.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to residents of India, serving as proof of identity and address for various services.</div>
<h2>Questions on Document Security and Verification</h2>
<p>These revelations cast a long shadow over the integrity of vital identification documents and the systems designed to verify them. The fact that stolen software could be used to manipulate such crucial data highlights a critical security lapse.</p>
<p>Authorities are now facing tough questions about how such a large-scale fraud could operate undetected and what measures will be implemented to prevent similar incidents in the future, ensuring the security of personal data and public trust.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actor Raj Anadkat is gearing up for the release of his new family drama, Papa Kehte Hain. In an exclusive conversation with Bhaskar English, Raj spoke about what drew him to the project, his character Pawan Pareek, the emotional heart of the story, and moving beyond the iconic role of Tappu from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Raj joined Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah in 2017, replacing Bhavya Gandhi. What was it about Papa Kehte Hain that made you say yes to the project? Honestly, the title itself got me excited. I kept wondering, Papa Kehte Hain... what do they say, and why do they say it? When I heard the narration, I instantly connected with the concept. I really loved the story, and that's what made me say yes to the show. Tell us about your character, Pawan Pareek. Pawan is a 24 or 25-year-old young man. At this age, most people are busy chasing their dreams, but Pawan's life takes a different turn. He has five siblings, and after their parents pass away, the responsibility of the entire family falls on his shoulders. The best thing about Pawan is that he isn't perfect. He makes mistakes, gets confused and faces challenges, but he learns from every experience. Through this character, I realised that you don't have to be perfect for your family; you just need to stand by them. He also has dreams of his own, so the show beautifully balances personal ambitions with family responsibilities. Along with emotional moments, the show has plenty of comedy and heart-warming family scenes that everyone can relate to. Is there any particular scene from the show that you'll always remember? Yes, there is one scene where Pawan's sister, Jharna, gets upset, and he tries everything to make her smile again. That sequence is very special to me. We are making many beautiful memories while shooting, but so far, that has been my favourite scene. How different is Pawan from the real Raj Anadkat? I wouldn't say we are very different because there are many similarities between us. Just like Pawan reaches a stage where he wants to fulfil his dream while handling responsibilities, I also have dreams that I want to achieve. I'm a family person and very close to my family, so I could relate to many emotions of the character. People still know you as Tappu from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Do you ever feel it's difficult to move on from such an iconic character? Whatever I have done in the past is history. What I'm doing now will create a new history. I know Tappu has a special place in people's hearts, but I believe that once they watch Papa Kehte Hain, they will remember Pawan too. As an actor, it's my job to move from one character to another, and that's how I see my journey. Why should audiences watch Papa Kehte Hain? It's a complete family entertainer. The show has comedy, emotions, and relationships that every family can connect with. At its core, it's about love, responsibility, and standing by your family through every phase of life. I think audiences of all ages will enjoy watching it.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[As devastating floods continue to wreak havoc across Assam, Bollywood stars have stepped forward to support the affected people. Actor Salman Khan has launched a multi-level relief operation through his charitable foundation, Being Human, to provide essential supplies in flood-hit areas. Meanwhile, actress Alia Bhatt has appealed to people across the country through social media to come forward and help those impacted by the disaster. Continuous monsoon rains have left millions of people affected across the state. Salman launches relief work with local fan club According to a Mid-Day report, Salman Khan's charitable foundation Being Human has partnered with its local fan club to carry out relief work at the grassroots level in Assam. As part of the first phase of the campaign, volunteers are distributing cooked food packets and other essential supplies in flood-affected areas. The relief material includes drinking water, medicines, sanitary pads, and mosquito repellent cream. Over the coming weeks, the initiative will also provide dry rations, temporary shelter materials, and support the rebuilding of schools and hospitals damaged by the floods. 'This tragedy returns every year': Alia Bhatt expresses grief Alia Bhatt also expressed concern over the flood situation in Assam through an emotional post on her Instagram account. She wrote, "Many parts of the country are currently affected by floods, with Assam facing the worst of it. More than 60 people have lost their lives, and millions have been displaced." She added that countless families have lost their homes, farmland, livestock, and loved ones. Calling it a recurring crisis, Alia wrote that the tragedy strikes every year, yet adequate preparedness remains a challenge. She also said she would soon share details of grassroots organisations working on the ground so that people can contribute to the relief efforts. Assam Flood Death Toll Crosses 75 Assam has been battling a severe flood crisis since mid-July, triggered by heavy monsoon rains and rising water levels in the upper catchment areas. According to the latest data from the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), more than 75 people have lost their lives in the floods so far. Several districts, including Sivasagar, Charaideo, Jorhat, Golaghat, and Nagaon, remain among the worst affected. More than 3 lakh people have been impacted by the floods, while thousands of hectares of agricultural land have been submerged, causing widespread damage to crops and livelihoods.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Singer-composer Vishal Dadlani has come out in support of the ongoing Gen-Z protests on social media after BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut criticised the students. Kangana had recently described the protesters' language and the reels they shared on social media as "nauseating." Reacting to her remarks, Vishal said that before judging the students' language, people should look at how they were treated during the protests. He alleged that students were lathi-charged, tear gas shells were fired at them, and stones were pelted. 'You beat children on the streets, so you'll get abuses' Vishal Dadlani shared a strongly worded post on Instagram, writing, "Bad language!? You beat the children on the streets. Threw stones at them and then blamed them too. Fired bullets at them, used tear gas shells, and pellet guns. Your hired goons are still intimidating and beating them. You have earned these abuses yourself, my friend." He ended the post with a laughing emoji, taking a swipe at those criticising the students' language. Vishal questions paid campaigns and influencers Vishal Dadlani also questioned the alleged campaigns targeting the protesting youth. In his post, he claimed that paid stories and social media influencers were being used to shape public opinion against the young protesters. According to him, attempting to justify such actions through sponsored campaigns was "even more pathetic." Before Vishal, several other public figures had also criticized the police's handling of the student protests. Kangana called the new generation of women 'Gutter Trash' Earlier, BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut sparked controversy by referring to the new generation of Indian women as "gutter trash." She alleged that many young women, in the name of imitating independent and career-oriented women, glorify drug use, alcohol consumption, and having relationships with multiple men as symbols of freedom. In a post shared on her official Instagram Stories, Kangana wrote, "The most shameful thing is the behaviour of those young Hindu women who want to imitate the lives of independent and career-oriented women but do not want to take on the responsibilities that come with that freedom." She further said that truly independent women make unconventional choices, express their opinions freely, pursue careers beyond traditional expectations, and accept full responsibility for their decisions. According to Kangana, such women bear the consequences of their actions themselves rather than placing the burden on their parents or families. Kangana calls the new generation of women 'Gutter Generation' Kangana further wrote that a new generation of Indian women, influenced by what she described as Western ideals, has emerged, calling them the "Gutter Generation." According to her, many of them have little to contribute to society and lack both academic excellence and the mindset to shoulder responsibilities. She also alleged that such women glorify drug use, alcohol consumption, and having relationships with multiple partners in the name of freedom. Kangana claimed they continue to depend on their parents financially while projecting themselves as independent. She added that true independence must be earned by accepting responsibility, and without it, such claims of freedom are meaningless. Kangana on gen Z protests: 'what kind of upbringing is this?' On Monday, Kangana Ranaut also courted controversy over the ongoing student protests by questioning the upbringing of the younger generation. Sharing her views on social media, she wrote, "In my entire life, I have never seen so much ugliness together. These reels of Gen Z protests are disgusting. The way these people speak and the language they use, I have never seen before. Every frame is so strange and disturbing that it's sickening to watch. Who is giving birth to them and who is raising them?" Her remarks drew criticism online, with several users and public figures, including singer-composer Vishal Dadlani, responding to her comments in support of the protesting students. Also made several statements against student protests Kangana Ranaut had strongly opposed the student protests through social media. She said that it is wrong to pressure the government to remove or keep someone in a position. She said that Parliament is the right place for debating public issues, not protests. Kangana had said that all these people are creating a ruckus and causing mischief at Jantar Mantar. The way the protest is going is not right. Actually, the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has been protesting for several days at Jantar Mantar in Delhi in support of the students' demands. After the protest ended, Kangana criticized the language of the protesters. Controversy began after the protest at Jantar Mantar
Students protested at Jantar Mantar on July 20 against alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG exam under the banner of Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). During the march towards Parliament, clashes occurred between police and protesters. After the police used force, several videos went viral on social media. Kangana had targeted the language used in these videos, after which social media users and Bollywood celebrities protested Kangana's statement and raised their voices in support of the students.]]> </content:encoded>

I had convinced myself that staying silent was the safest path for me. Further, Isha wrote, 'Silence is never accepted, it was just an attempt to save its existence. Today I am choosing courage, not fear. Maybe I am not ready to tell the whole story yet, but now I am ready to stop pretending that everything was fine.'

<media:keywords>Ajmer, Petrol Scam, Engine Seizure, Police Complaint</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Trouble at the Pump: Ajmer Man Claims Water in Fuel, Bike Engine Seizes</h2>
<p>Ajmer is abuzz with a peculiar complaint from a local resident who alleges that water-laced petrol caused his Royal Enfield motorcycle's engine to seize. Dilip Singh Rawat, a resident of Boraj on Foy Sagar Road, has formally lodged a complaint against the operators of Kirti Indian Oil Petrol Pump, located near Mittal Hospital on Pushkar Road, demanding swift action.</p>
<h2>The Incident: A Ride Cut Short</h2>
<p>Rawat recounts filling up his Royal Enfield Bullet with ₹340 worth of petrol at the Kirti pump on the evening of July 27. Shortly after, his motorcycle unexpectedly sputtered and came to a halt, refusing to restart. A subsequent inspection by a mechanic revealed a distressing diagnosis: the fuel tank contained water and other impurities.</p>
<p>The mechanic confirmed that these contaminants were the likely cause of the engine seizing. The estimated cost for repairs to restore the Bullet to working order stands at a hefty ₹35,000.</p>
<h2>Confrontation and Alleged Misconduct</h2>
<p>Armed with a sample of the suspected contaminated fuel, Rawat reportedly approached the petrol pump staff. However, his allegations were met with outright denial. He further claims that the employees resorted to abusive language, behaved rudely, and even threatened him for raising the complaint.</p>
<h2>Petrol Pump Responds, Police Investigate</h2>
<p>In response to the serious allegations, the manager of Kirti Petrol Pump stated that a fair investigation would be conducted if the fuel in question was indeed dispensed from their facility. The manager also highlighted that the pump serves a large number of customers daily and has not received any similar complaints thus far.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Hari Bhau Upadhyay Nagar Police Station has taken cognizance of Rawat's written complaint. Authorities have initiated an investigation into the matter to ascertain the facts and determine the appropriate course of action.</p>
<h2>FAQ</h2>
<h3>Q1: What should I do if I suspect contaminated fuel from a petrol pump?</h3>
<p>If you suspect contaminated fuel, collect a sample immediately, note the date and time, and report the incident to the petrol pump management. If unsatisfied, file a formal complaint with consumer protection authorities or the local police, providing all relevant evidence.</p>
<h3>Q2: Can water in petrol really damage a motorcycle engine?</h3>
<p>Yes, even small amounts of water in petrol can significantly damage a motorcycle engine. Water does not burn, can corrode fuel system components, and can lead to engine misfires, stalling, and in severe cases, cause the engine to seize due to lack of lubrication or damage to internal parts.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer Faces Significant Property Rate Increase Amidst Public Outcry</h2>
<p>Ajmer is abuzz with concern following a decision to significantly increase the District Level Committee (DLC) rates for properties and land. The move, which could see hikes ranging from 25% to 50%, has drawn sharp criticism from the Ajmer City District Congress Committee.</p>
<h2>Fifth Hike in a Year Sparks Opposition</h2>
<p>Vijay Jain, former President and member of the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee, has formally lodged a protest with the District Collector of Ajmer. He highlighted that this marks the fifth substantial increase in DLC rates within the past year, with a significant 50% hike already implemented by April 2026.</p>
<p>The latest decision, made during a recent district-level meeting, is deemed an unjustifiable burden on the common populace. Jain argues that acquiring property in Ajmer is becoming increasingly challenging, bordering on impossible, for ordinary citizens due to these escalating costs.</p>
<h2>Concerns Over Representation and Economic Impact</h2>
<p>A significant point of contention raised by Jain is the reported absence of elected representatives from Ajmer city during this crucial meeting. He views this as a dereliction of duty, suggesting that local leaders are failing to protect the interests of their constituents.</p>
<p>The Congress leader emphasized that the new rates will directly impact the average person, especially in a climate already marked by rising inflation and unemployment. While the government speaks of a "dream of owning a home," these price hikes, he contends, make that dream unattainable.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the increased DLC rates are expected to negatively affect business and investment within the region. Jain pointed out that in several areas of the city, the current DLC rates already exceed market value, making further increases particularly unreasonable.</p>
<h2>Call for Reconsideration and Broader Consultation</h2>
<p>The Congress has formally requested the District Collector to reconsider the proposed 25% to 50% increase in DLC rates, slated to take effect from August 1, 2026. They are advocating for another district-level meeting.</p>
<p>This proposed meeting would include not only elected officials but also representatives from political parties, trade bodies, and social organizations. The aim is to halt the implementation of the proposed higher rates immediately, thereby preventing an undue financial strain on citizens and ensuring decisions align with public sentiment.</p>
<p>Copies of the memorandum have also been forwarded to the Chief Minister and Revenue Minister of Rajasthan, the Divisional Commissioner of Ajmer, and the Inspector General of Registration and Stamps.</p>
<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<h3>What are DLC rates and why are they increasing?</h3>
<p>DLC rates, or District Level Committee rates, are the minimum rates at which property transactions are registered. They are periodically revised by government authorities based on various market factors and are used to calculate stamp duty and registration fees. The recent increases are attributed to market dynamics, though critics argue they are excessive and poorly timed.</p>
<h3>What are the potential consequences of the DLC rate hike in Ajmer?</h3>
<p>The hike in DLC rates could make property acquisition significantly more expensive for individuals, potentially dampening the real estate market and discouraging investment. It may also increase the cost of living indirectly as property ownership costs rise.</p>

<p>This crucial route, once completed, is expected to significantly broaden and streamline the path to Pushkar, offering considerable relief from traffic congestion for both local residents and the thousands of pilgrims who frequent the area.</p>
<h2>Broader Development Vision for Ajmer North</h2>
<p>Devnani also touched upon the wider developmental agenda for Ajmer North. He mentioned that approvals for road construction from Varun Sagar to Lucky Chauraha, Kharekri, and Ajaysar are already in place, with the Ajmer Development Authority overseeing these works.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, plans are underway to widen the main road from Telephone Exchange to Chamunda Tirahe to tackle long-standing traffic issues. The Speaker noted that a substantial ₹200 crore is being allocated for road construction and an additional ₹70 crore for robust drainage systems across the North region.</p>
<h2>Multi-Sectoral Growth and Future Outlook</h2>
<p>The development push extends beyond roads. Devnani detailed plans for a permanent solution to waterlogging, involving a ₹22.60 crore project to connect Anasagar's drains, alongside special proposals for drainage construction worth ₹150 crore.</p>
<p>In education, a girls' Sainik School is being established in Hathi Khera at a cost of ₹20 crore. Furthermore, ₹32 crore has been earmarked for the desilting of Varun Sagar and other water bodies. Healthcare facilities are also seeing a major boost, with ₹240 crore allocated for the rapid development of JLN Hospital.</p>
<p>Devnani reiterated the government's commitment, stating that hundreds of crores are being invested across education, tourism, medicine, IT, employment, spirituality, and foundational infrastructure. He expressed confidence that the pace of development, already significant, would accelerate even further in the coming years.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer's 'Wonders' Fade from Glory, End Up in Police Parking</h2>
<p>Once a vibrant hub drawing crowds to its miniature global marvels, Ajmer's Seven Wonders Park, situated along the picturesque Anasagar Lake, now stands as a stark reminder of ambitious projects gone awry. The replicas that once captivated visitors, offering perfect photo opportunities, have met an unexpected fate.</p>
<p>Developed under the Smart City project with a hefty budget of ₹11.65 crore, the park quickly became a prime attraction. Families and tourists flocked to see the scaled-down versions of the world's seven wonders, making it a proud symbol of the city's modern appeal.</p>
<h2>The Demolition and Lingering Debris</h2>
<p>However, the park's journey took a sharp turn when it faced legal challenges. Constructed on a wetland in contravention of regulations, the Seven Wonders Park was ultimately demolished following a court order. Today, the debris from the dismantled replicas still lies scattered within the park premises, a testament to its abrupt end.</p>
<p>The story doesn't quite end there for some of these 'wonders'. Replicas of the Statue of Liberty and Christ the Redeemer, once grand attractions, have been moved from the park. They now reside in the parking area of the Haribhau Upadhyay Nagar Police Station building on Pushkar Road.</p>
<h2>A Tale of Two Eras</h2>
<p>Visitors to the police station might spot the Christ the Redeemer replica draped in a green tarpaulin, while the Statue of Liberty is wrapped in black plastic, gathering dust. These images paint a vivid picture of two distinct eras: one where the park buzzed with lights, tourists, and families, and another where these very replicas lie neglected, awaiting an uncertain future.</p>
<p>Their current state speaks volumes about incomplete urban plans and shifting priorities within the city's administration.</p>
<h2>Suggestions for a Second Life</h2>
<p>Instead of leaving these iconic replicas stored and covered for extended periods, there's a growing sentiment for their reuse. The administration could consider relocating the Christ the Redeemer replica to a church compound or installing the Statue of Liberty in a prominent city park or public space, giving them a new lease on life.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[YouTuber and Bigg Boss 17 contestant Anurag Dobhal, popularly known as UK07 Rider, has once again landed in controversy after making serious allegations against his wife, Ritika Chauhan. In a recent YouTube video, Anurag claimed that Ritika cheated on him during her pregnancy. He also shared screenshots, audio clips, and videos, claiming they support his allegations. Besides this, he alleged that he was prevented from meeting his son and was asked to pay ₹37 lakh. Ritika has not responded publicly to these latest claims, and the allegations have not been independently verified. Claims affair with a family friend In the same video, Anurag alleged that Ritika was involved with a man named Abhishek, whom he described as a close family friend. According to Anurag, he stayed silent for months despite knowing about the matter but eventually decided to speak out. He claimed the issue has now become a legal and emotional battle, especially because he is unable to meet his son. Family dispute came into public view earlier This is not the first time Anurag has made headlines over his personal life. Earlier this year, he shared an emotional video accusing his parents and other family members of mentally harassing him because of his inter-caste marriage with Ritika. He alleged that he faced constant pressure from his family, which affected his mental health. His family, however, denied several of the allegations, and the matter soon became a topic of debate on social media. Livestream crash shocked fans Soon after speaking about his family issues, Anurag was involved in a shocking road accident while livestreaming on Instagram. During the live session on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, he appeared emotionally disturbed and referred to it as his "last drive." Moments later, his SUV crashed into a divider. He survived the accident but suffered multiple injuries and was admitted to the hospital. The incident left his fans deeply worried and sparked conversations around mental health and the pressure faced by social media influencers. Called hospital stay the toughest phase of his life After recovering from the accident, Anurag spoke about the difficult period he went through. He said he remained bedridden for nearly a month and depended on others even for basic daily activities. Describing it as the most painful phase of his life, he also claimed that fresh police complaints were filed against him after the accident and alleged that several accusations made against him were false. Marital issues continued in public Over the past few months, Anurag and Ritika's relationship has remained under public scrutiny. Earlier, reports suggested that Ritika had accused Anurag of domestic violence. She also appealed to people not to believe everything circulating on social media. Since then, both have shared their side of the story through social media posts, videos and interviews, keeping the dispute in the public eye. Personal life overshadows his career Anurag Dobhal has built a massive fan following through his biking and travel content, but in recent months, his personal life has dominated headlines more than his work. From family disputes and mental health struggles to the livestream crash and now fresh allegations against his wife, the YouTuber has repeatedly found himself at the centre of controversy. While many of his supporters have expressed solidarity with him, others have urged people to wait for both sides before concluding, as the latest allegations remain unverified.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Major Crackdown on RGHS Irregularities</h2>
<p>Jaipur: The Drug Controller Department in Rajasthan has permanently revoked the licenses of 31 medical stores. This decisive action comes after serious irregularities were uncovered within the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS). Authorities are also actively pursuing recovery of excess payments, temporary suspension of Transaction Management System (TMS) access, de-panelment, and other lawful proceedings.</p>
<p>Principal Secretary for Medical and Health, Gayatri Rathore, confirmed that investigations revealed a disturbing pattern. Several medical stores were found colluding with doctors and beneficiaries, submitting fraudulent claims. This included instances where fake doctor signatures were used, and claims were made for non-payable items instead of actual medicines. Such actions are being treated as grave financial irregularities, leading to strict measures against the involved stores.</p>
<h2>Statewide Impact of Cancellations</h2>
<p>The cancelled licenses span across multiple districts. Jaipur saw the highest number with 11 stores, followed by Bharatpur with 9. Nagaur and Dholpur each had 2 licenses revoked. One medical store each in Hanumangarh, Bhilwara, Sikar, Jodhpur, and Alwar districts also faced permanent license cancellation.</p>
<h2>AI Deployed to Combat Fraud</h2>
<p>Rathore also highlighted a significant step forward in monitoring. Daily drug claims under RGHS are now undergoing intense scrutiny at various levels. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) based analysis system is being utilized to identify potential irregularities. This technology automatically flags cases involving artificial price inflation, abnormal MRPs, incorrect pricing, unverified claims, wrong product mapping, and other misleading information, ensuring timely action.</p>
<h2>Discount Violations and Inflated Claims</h2>
<p>Recent probes have also brought to light severe price irregularities in many drug claims. Medications such as Exemptia 40 mg, Denberi injection, Terifrac (Teriparatide), and Trulicity 1.5 mg were claimed at excessively high rates compared to their market prices. Furthermore, many medical stores failed to provide the mandatory minimum discount as per RGHS rules. While a minimum 40 percent discount was expected, some cases showed as little as 12 percent or even less. Investigations also revealed claims for amounts two to five times the actual purchase price of several medicines.</p>
<h2>Further Actions and Future Plans</h2>
<p>Harjilal Atal, Chief Executive Officer of the Rajasthan State Health Assurance Agency, stated that in light of these irregularities, the TMS access for 10 medical stores has been temporarily suspended. Additionally, show-cause notices have been issued to 13 other medical stores, instructing them to provide explanations as per regulations. The state government is also developing a new action plan to effectively control profiteering and financial irregularities in future drug claims, which is expected to be implemented soon.</p>
<h2>FAQ</h2>
<h3>Q1: What is the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS)?</h3>
<p>A1: The Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS) is a healthcare initiative by the Rajasthan state government designed to provide medical facilities and financial assistance for treatments to its employees, pensioners, and their dependents.</p>
<h3>Q2: How can beneficiaries report suspected irregularities in RGHS claims?</h3>
<p>A2: Beneficiaries who suspect irregularities in RGHS claims, such as incorrect billing or fraudulent practices by medical stores, should contact the Rajasthan State Health Assurance Agency or the Medical and Health Department through their official channels for investigation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rajasthan Gears Up for Local Polls: ULB and Panchayat Elections Scheduled, MCC from August 17</h2>
<p>Jaipur's long wait for clarity on local elections is finally over. The Rajasthan High Court has given its nod to the state government's comprehensive plan for both Urban Local Body (ULB) and Panchayat elections, bringing much-anticipated political activity back to the forefront.</p>
<p>The entire electoral process, covering both sets of polls, is set to wrap up by November 15, according to the schedule presented to the High Court.</p>
<h2>Two Phases for Urban Local Body Elections</h2>
<p>The initial phase will see the Urban Local Body elections take place. These polls are slated for two distinct phases, with the entire process expected to conclude by September 20.</p>
<p>Following the completion of the ULB elections, attention will then shift to the Panchayat elections, which are planned to unfold across four phases.</p>
<h2>Model Code of Conduct Expected from August 17</h2>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rajasthan Minister Kirodi Meena Pushes for REET-2021 Paper Leak Investigation</h2>
<p>Jaipur is buzzing with fresh political developments as Rajasthan Agriculture Minister Kirodi Meena has penned a significant letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The core of his communication is a fervent demand for decisive action regarding the infamous REET-2021 paper leak case.</p>
<p>Meena isn't just asking for a general inquiry; he's zeroing in on specific individuals. His letter explicitly calls for questioning several prominent figures from the previous state government.</p>
<h2>Key Figures Named in Meena's Letter</h2>
<p>The Agriculture Minister has specifically urged that former Education Minister and current State Congress President, Govind Singh Dotasra, be interrogated. This move could potentially intensify the political heat surrounding the long-standing scandal.</p>
<p>Beyond Dotasra, Meena has also suggested that former Minister Subhash Garg and a few other MLAs face questioning. This broadens the scope of the potential investigation significantly.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> The REET-2021 examination was initially cancelled in February 2022 following widespread allegations of paper leaks, affecting lakhs of aspiring teachers in Rajasthan.</div>
<p>Furthermore, Meena's letter extends its reach to academic and governance circles. He has demanded that the heads of the Rajiv Gandhi Study Circle and the Gandhian Institute of Social Science and Governance also be questioned. His aim is to ensure effective and punitive action against those found responsible.</p>
<h2>Broader Probe into Congress-Era Paper Leaks</h2>
<p>The demand isn't limited to just the REET-2021 case. Kirodi Meena is pushing for a comprehensive investigation into all competitive examination paper leaks that occurred during the tenure of the previous Congress government in Rajasthan.</p>
<p>This initiative by Minister Meena underscores the continued public and political concern over the integrity of recruitment processes in the state. The letter to the Union Home Minister signals a potential escalation in efforts to unearth the full extent of the paper leak controversies.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bhojpuri actresses Amrapali Dubey and Rani Chatterjee have stirred controversy after making remarks about cosmetic procedures during the reality show Bhojpuri Bawaal. In an uncut video accessed by Dainik Bhaskar, the actresses are seen chatting in the makeup room along with another co-star. During the conversation, the topic shifted to Botox and plastic surgery, prompting the actresses to take a dig at the beauty standards followed in Hindi cinema. Rani Chatterjee and Amrapali Dubey claimed that actresses in the Bhojpuri film industry are "100% natural." They joked that if they wanted to work in Bollywood, they would have to undergo Botox, lip fillers, and even "brain surgery." Their comments have since gone viral on social media, drawing mixed reactions from viewers. 'Everything we have is natural; we'd have to get Botox there' In the viral video, the actresses are seen getting their makeup and pedicure done on the set when the conversation turns to cosmetic procedures. One of the actresses jokingly asks Rani Chatterjee which Botox treatment she had undergone. Surprised by the question, Rani replies, "Do Bhojpuri actresses even get Botox?" Amrapali Dubey then joins the conversation with a smile, saying that everything about them is natural. Rani adds, "Everything we have is real. I think if we worked in Bollywood, we'd have to get all of this done. Over there, people even undergo surgeries to change their faces." Their remarks were made in a light-hearted conversation but have since gone viral on social media.
 Take a dig at lip fillers and fake accents As the conversation continued, another actress joked about lip fillers, saying some actresses get cosmetic procedures to make their lips look "like a duck's." The remark left everyone laughing. Amrapali Dubey then playfully mimicked the way some Bollywood celebrities speak in interviews. Changing her accent and making exaggerated expressions, she said, "Hi guys, how are you guys doing?" Her imitation sent everyone on the set into laughter, and the clip has since gone viral on social media. Joke about Pawan Singh's reaction The conversation later shifted to Bhojpuri Power Star Pawan Singh. The actresses joked that if they ever got cosmetic procedures like some Bollywood celebrities, Pawan Singh would be shocked to see them. One of the actresses laughed and said, "If we got something like that done, Pawan ji would look at us and ask, 'What have you done to your face?'" Reacting to this, Rani Chatterjee jokingly suggested, "Let's video call Pawan ji right now and ask him." The comment left everyone in the makeup room laughing, adding to the light-hearted banter that has now gone viral on social media. 'Bhojpuri Bawaal' to premiere on August 2 The viral clip is from the sets of 'Bhojpuri Bawaal', which is being promoted as the Bhojpuri industry's first reality show. The show promises to bring together some of the biggest names from Bhojpuri cinema along with well-known political personalities from Bihar. It aims to give viewers a glimpse into the stars' real lives through candid conversations, revealing stories from both their personal and professional journeys. Pawan Singh, Nirahua and Tej Pratap Yadav among participants The show will feature several popular Bhojpuri personalities, including Pawan Singh, Dinesh Lal Yadav (Nirahua), Amrapali Dubey, and Kajal Raghwani. Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, will also be part of the lineup. Manisha Rani and Krushna Abhishek will host the show, which is scheduled to premiere on August 2 on JioHotstar.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sunil Anand, actor, director and the only son of legendary Bollywood star Dev Anand, passed away in London on July 26 after suffering a heart attack. He was 70 years old. According to family sources, Sunil breathed his last at the same hospital where his father, Dev Anand, passed away in 2011. The news of his demise was confirmed by his niece, Gina Narang, through an official statement. The family has requested privacy as they grieve the loss of a loved one. Family requests privacy after confirming Sunil Anand's death Sunil Anand's niece, Gina (Jeena) Narang, confirmed the actor's demise through an official statement issued on behalf of the family. The note read, "It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of Sunil Anand. We are deeply grateful for the love, prayers and support we have received during this difficult time. We kindly request everyone to respect our privacy as we mourn this irreparable loss together." The family has not yet announced the details of Sunil Anand's final rites or funeral arrangements. Made his acting debut with Anand Aur Anand Sunil Anand began his acting career in 1984 with Anand Aur Anand, a film directed by his father, Dev Anand. The movie marked his Bollywood debut and introduced him as the next generation of the Anand family. He later appeared in films such as Car Thief and Main Tere Liye. Despite his efforts, Sunil could not replicate the immense success and popularity enjoyed by his father. Over time, he stepped away from acting and chose to focus on work behind the scenes, staying away from the limelight while remaining associated with filmmaking. Carried forward the legacy of Navketan Films After stepping away from acting, Sunil Anand took charge of Navketan Films, the iconic production house founded by his father, Dev Anand. He oversaw the banner's operations for several years and played a key role in preserving the legacy of one of Hindi cinema's most celebrated production houses. Working largely behind the scenes, Sunil focused on managing the company's affairs and ensuring that Dev Anand's contribution to Indian cinema continued to be remembered. Although he stayed away from the spotlight, he remained committed to carrying forward the vision and legacy of the Anand family. Leaves behind his mother and sister Sunil Anand is survived by his 94-year-old mother, veteran actress Kalpana Kartik, and his sister, Devika. The two currently reside in Ooty, Tamil Nadu. Sunil was the only son of legendary actor Dev Anand and Kalpana Kartik, one of Hindi cinema's most admired screen couples. His death marks the end of the direct male lineage of the iconic Anand family in Bollywood.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Kerala High Court on Monday issued an interim order granting protection to the woman at the centre of the widely discussed “viral girl” case linked to an interfaith marriage. The court directed that she cannot be handed over to any person without its permission. The court also ruled that she cannot be taken outside its jurisdiction against her wishes. The police protection already being provided to the woman will continue for the time being. Court expresses surprise over NCST order During the hearing, the court examined the English translation of an order issued by the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST). The order had directed the police to hand over the woman to the Madhya Pradesh Police in accordance with law and produce documents related to the revised date of birth before the High Court. Justice Thomas questioned how the commission could issue such an order when the High Court was already hearing the matter. The court also raised questions about the NCST’s authority to issue such directions while the case was pending before it. Officer reprimanded for writing directly to High Court registrar The court expressed strong displeasure over the SHO of Ernakulam Central Police Station directly writing to the High Court Registrar. Justice Thomas observed that information concerning such matters should have been placed before the court through the government lawyer. The court questioned how a police officer could bypass the government counsel and Advocate General and write directly to the Registrar. The court directed the government side to brief the concerned officer about the proper procedure. Date-of-birth dispute already pending before MP High Court The petitioner’s counsel told the court that the woman was above 18 years of age at the time of her marriage and that this fact had already been verified by a court in Madhya Pradesh. It was also submitted that her original birth certificate was subsequently cancelled without her knowledge. A petition concerning the dispute over her date of birth is already pending before the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The petitioner also claimed that no order issued by the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes had been formally provided to her. High Court directs police protection to continue The High Court observed that, prima facie, there appeared to be merit in the petitioner’s submissions. It therefore directed that police protection for the woman should continue until the next hearing. The court directed the state government and concerned police officials, including the Kochi City Police Commissioner, to ensure that the woman is not taken outside their jurisdiction without a court order or against her wishes. The court further said that if she feels threatened, she can directly contact the police or the woman protection officer appointed for her. Immediate and adequate protection must be provided upon receiving such a request. Next hearing scheduled for next week The High Court has scheduled the next hearing for next week and directed all concerned parties to produce the relevant records. Until then, the interim order providing police protection and prohibiting the woman from being handed over to anyone without the court’s permission will remain in force.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Reports of trouble in singer and rapper Badshah's second marriage have intensified after his wife, Isha Rikhi, shared an emotional social media post. In the post, Isha claimed she had stayed silent for a long time because she was afraid of Badshah's influence and power, but said she could no longer continue living a pretence. Her message also appeared to hint at an impending divorce. Sharing the note on her official social media account, Isha wrote, "Some battles leave wounds that cannot be seen. I remained silent for a very long time because I was scared. I believed my husband had so much influence, power, and resources that I stood no chance against him. I kept telling myself that staying silent was the safest choice." Further, Esha wrote, 'Silence is never accepted; it was just an attempt to save one's existence. Today I am choosing courage, not fear. Maybe I am not ready to tell the whole story yet, but now I am ready to stop pretending that everything was okay.' Posted wedding pictures with Badshah, wrote - 'The storm is a lesson' Just a few days before this cryptic post, Isha had shared some pictures and videos with Badshah and written, "Some storms bring lessons and every prayer brings hope." On Isha's post, close friend Jasmin Bhasin commented, advising her to stay strong. Notably, after Isha Rikhi's post came to light, many close friends and acquaintances are sharing posts in her support. A close friend wrote, "I am a witness to the phase you have gone through and are still going through. I and others close to you know that you have faced every difficulty with honesty, truth, and complete self-respect. Stay strong, Isha Rikhi. We are with you, and with the truth." Meanwhile, one wrote, "Stay strong, don't be afraid." A close one wrote, "You are very strong and beautiful." Marriage confirmed via social media Singer and rapper Badshah secretly married Isha in March 2026. Only close relatives of the couple attended the intimate wedding. Badshah kept the marriage a secret; however, Isha Rikhi confirmed it by posting a romantic picture on social media. Meanwhile, Isha, while answering a fan's question, had called Badshah 'Pati Dev' (husband). Earlier, Isha's mother had congratulated both on social media by posting pictures of her and Badshah's wedding. 
Who is Isha Rikhi? Badshah married Isha after a divorce Badshah married Jasmine Masih in 2012. In 2017, Badshah became a father to a daughter, but they divorced just 3 years later.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut has criticised what she described as the mindset of some women from the younger generation. In a post shared on her Instagram Stories, Ranaut referred to them as "gutter chhaap" and alleged that they equate freedom with drug use, alcohol consumption and having sexual relationships with multiple men. She further wrote, ‘Most appalling is the behaviour of young Hindu women, who want to imitate the lives of independent career women without earning that freedom. Women who are truly independent make rebellious choices, have bold opinions, make unconventional career moves, and take accountability for their actions. They have to bear the cost; they are on their own. They don't do this at the cost of their parents or families. Here is a new generation of so-called Westernised Indian women. I call them "Generation Gutter". Some of them have nothing to offer to the system. They are not good at studies, but they are so ugly and corrupt that they can't be homemakers either. Yet they proudly flaunt their freedom to have drugs, drinks, or endless body counts, shamelessly live off their parents' earnings, and constantly fight to live independent lives without actually being independent. Gentle reminder: An independent life needs to be earned. If you try to live independently without accountability, you are just a distorted entity. Gutter chhaap.’ Kangana further wrote, 'Today, a new generation of Indian women influenced by so-called Western thought has emerged. I call them the 'Gutter Generation'. Some of them have nothing to offer society. They are not good at studies, but they possess such ugly thoughts and corrupt mindsets that they cannot even become good housewives.' 'Despite this, they flaunt their so-called freedom, calling drugs, alcohol, and countless sexual relationships their freedom. They shamelessly live off their parents' earnings and constantly talk about living an independent life, while in reality, they are not self-reliant at all. Let me remind you, freedom has to be earned. If you try to be independent without taking responsibility, you are just a person with a distorted mindset, a ‘gutter chap’.'' Had commented on student protests - What kind of upbringing is happening? BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut also gave a controversial opinion on student protests on Monday, raising questions about the upbringing of the new generation. She wrote on social media, 'In my entire life, I have never seen so much ugliness together. These reels of Gen Z protests make me sick. The way these people speak and the language they are using, I have never seen before. Every frame is so strange and disturbing that it makes me sick to watch. Who is giving birth to them and who is raising them?' Also made several statements against student protests Kangana Ranaut strongly opposed the student protest through social media. She said that it is wrong to pressure the government to remove or keep someone in a position. She stated that Parliament is the right place to debate public issues, not to stage protests. Kangana had said that these people are creating a ruckus and causing mischief at Jantar Mantar. The way the protest is going is not right. In fact, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has been protesting for several days at Jantar Mantar in Delhi in support of students' demands. After the protest ended, Kangana criticized the language of the protesters.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Katrina, Kaif, replaces, Deepika, Padukone, Spirit:Actress, once, took, over, Aishwaryas, role, ‘Jagga, Jasoos’, later, missed, out, ‘Chennai, Express’</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[According to media reports, Katrina Kaif has replaced Deepika Padukone in director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit. While the makers have not made an official announcement, the reports have sparked fresh discussions among fans. Katrina herself has also not commented on the speculation. This isn't the first time Katrina has reportedly stepped into a role after another actress exited a project. At the same time, she has also lost films to other stars over the years. Here's a look at some of the biggest casting changes and controversies from her career. When Katrina replaced Priyanka Chopra in Bharat One of the biggest casting changes in recent years happened in 2018 when Priyanka Chopra exited Salman Khan's Bharat shortly before filming began. Katrina Kaif was brought on board as her replacement. The film went on to become a commercial success, and Katrina's performance received positive reviews. She also replaced Aishwarya Rai in Jagga Jasoos Katrina was reportedly cast in Jagga Jasoos after Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was initially considered for the project during its early stages of development. Although the film took years to complete, Katrina eventually played the female lead opposite Ranbir Kapoor. When Katrina Was replaced in Half Girlfriend Casting changes have not always worked in Katrina's favour. She was initially linked to Mohit Suri's Half Girlfriend, but the role eventually went to Shraddha Kapoor. The makers never officially revealed why the casting changed. She lost Ram-Leela to Deepika Padukone Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela is another film where Katrina's name was reportedly discussed before Deepika Padukone was finalised. The film became one of Deepika's biggest career milestones and marked the beginning of her successful collaboration with Bhansali. Katrina missed out on Chennai Express Before Deepika Padukone was cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Chennai Express, Katrina Kaif's name was also linked to the film in media reports. Eventually, Deepika landed the role, and the film became one of the biggest blockbusters of 2013. Her break-up with Ranbir Kapoor dominated headlines Apart from films, Katrina has often made headlines for her personal life. Her relationship and eventual break-up with Ranbir Kapoor remained one of Bollywood's most talked-about stories. Despite the split, the two completed Jagga Jasoos together, even as reports suggested tensions during the film's delayed production. Rumours around marriage and career break Katrina surprised fans by marrying actor Vicky Kaushal in December 2021 in an intimate ceremony in Rajasthan. After marriage, rumours frequently surfaced about her taking a break from films or reducing her workload. However, Katrina continued to work, appearing in projects such as Tiger 3 and remaining active through her beauty brand, Kay Beauty.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[According to media reports, Katrina Kaif has replaced Deepika Padukone in director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit. While the makers have not made an official announcement, the reports have sparked fresh discussions among fans. Katrina herself has also not commented on the speculation. This isn't the first time Katrina has reportedly stepped into a role after another actress exited a project. At the same time, she has also lost films to other stars over the years. Here's a look at some of the biggest casting changes and controversies from her career. When Katrina replaced Priyanka Chopra in Bharat One of the biggest casting changes in recent years happened in 2018 when Priyanka Chopra exited Salman Khan's Bharat shortly before filming began. Katrina Kaif was brought on board as her replacement. The film went on to become a commercial success, and Katrina's performance received positive reviews. She also replaced Aishwarya Rai in Jagga Jasoos Katrina was reportedly cast in Jagga Jasoos after Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was initially considered for the project during its early stages of development. Although the film took years to complete, Katrina eventually played the female lead opposite Ranbir Kapoor. When Katrina Was replaced in Half Girlfriend Casting changes have not always worked in Katrina's favour. She was initially linked to Mohit Suri's Half Girlfriend, but the role eventually went to Shraddha Kapoor. The makers never officially revealed why the casting changed. She lost Ram-Leela to Deepika Padukone Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela is another film where Katrina's name was reportedly discussed before Deepika Padukone was finalised. The film became one of Deepika's biggest career milestones and marked the beginning of her successful collaboration with Bhansali. Katrina missed out on Chennai Express Before Deepika Padukone was cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Chennai Express, Katrina Kaif's name was also linked to the film in media reports. Eventually, Deepika landed the role, and the film became one of the biggest blockbusters of 2013. Her break-up with Ranbir Kapoor dominated headlines Apart from films, Katrina has often made headlines for her personal life. Her relationship and eventual break-up with Ranbir Kapoor remained one of Bollywood's most talked-about stories. Despite the split, the two completed Jagga Jasoos together, even as reports suggested tensions during the film's delayed production. Rumours around marriage and career break Katrina surprised fans by marrying actor Vicky Kaushal in December 2021 in an intimate ceremony in Rajasthan. After marriage, rumours frequently surfaced about her taking a break from films or reducing her workload. However, Katrina continued to work, appearing in projects such as Tiger 3 and remaining active through her beauty brand, Kay Beauty. No official confirmation yet While reports about Katrina replacing Deepika in Spirit continue to circulate, the production house has not made any official announcement. Until the makers or the actors confirm the news, the casting remains speculative. If confirmed, Spirit would mark Katrina Kaif's first on-screen collaboration with Prabhas and another major addition to her filmography. has replaced Deepika Padukone in ‘Spirit’; however, there is no official confirmation from the actress herself]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Following the release of the teaser for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, actor Ranbir Kapoor faced criticism on social media from some users who questioned his casting as Lord Ram. Addressing the controversy for the first time during an interaction at San Diego Comic-Con, Ranbir shared his perspective on the role and the online trolling. The actor said that Lord Ram cannot be defined by a single appearance or image. According to Ranbir, what truly matters is the actor's sincerity and understanding of Lord Ram's values. He added that anyone who approaches the role with pure intentions and deep respect for the character's ideals is worthy of portraying him on screen. Ranbir made the remarks while appearing at the event in his on-screen royal attire as Lord Ram, as the team unveiled fresh glimpses from the highly anticipated film. Ranbir: 'My first thought was whether I was worthy' Speaking during the film's promotion at San Diego Comic-Con, Ranbir Kapoor revealed that he initially had doubts about taking on the role of Lord Ram. Recalling his first reaction to the offer, the actor said, "The first question that came to my mind was, 'Am I worthy of this responsibility?'" Ranbir added that portraying Lord Ram was far more than playing a fictional character. "I wasn't just taking on a role—I was bringing one of India's most revered figures to the screen," he said. As he prepared for the film, he came to realise the immense responsibility that came with the part and said he approached it with complete sincerity, respect and dedication. 'Everyone has their own image of Lord Ram' Responding to criticism over his casting, Ranbir Kapoor said there is no single, universally accepted image of Lord Ram. He explained that every person who reads or watches the Ramayana forms a unique picture of the revered figure in their mind. "Some people may feel I'm the right choice, while others may disagree, and that's completely natural," Ranbir said. He added that what ultimately matters is not an actor's appearance but the sincerity, faith and respect they bring to the role. According to him, an artist who truly understands and believes in Lord Ram's ideals is best equipped to portray the character authentically. Yash backs Ranbir's casting as Lord Ram Kannada superstar Yash, who plays Ravana in Ramayana, came out in support of Ranbir Kapoor and praised his commitment to the role. Speaking during the film's promotion, Yash said portraying Lord Ram on screen is an enormous responsibility and one of the most challenging roles an actor can take on. He added that Ranbir had devoted himself completely to the character, putting in relentless effort throughout the preparation process. According to Yash, audiences will witness a powerful performance that reflects Lord Ram's values of sacrifice, compassion and unwavering commitment, brought to life through Ranbir's sincere portrayal. Ramayana among India's most expensive films Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is being mounted on an unprecedented scale and is reportedly one of the most expensive films ever made in Indian cinema. According to reports, the two-part epic has an estimated budget of around ₹4,000 crore. The film is jointly produced by Namit Malhotra and Kannada superstar Yash. The star-studded cast includes Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Yash as Ravana, along with several other prominent actors in key roles. Ever since the teaser was unveiled, Ramayana has generated massive excitement among audiences, with its scale, visual effects and ensemble cast becoming major talking points.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Nearly 10 years after Kahaani 2, the acclaimed thriller franchise is set to return with a third instalment. According to media reports, Yami Gautam has been roped in to headline Kahaani 3, while filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh is returning to direct the project. The film is currently in the pre-production stage, with the makers finalising the script and shooting schedule. New story, same world of suspense Unlike its predecessors, Kahaani 3 will not continue Vidya Balan's character or storyline. Instead, the film is expected to introduce a completely new narrative while retaining the franchise's signature atmosphere of mystery, suspense and unexpected twists. The makers reportedly aim to preserve the essence of the Kahaani universe while offering audiences a fresh experience. Yami to play a layered, female-led role According to reports, Yami Gautam's character will be at the heart of the story and will feature multiple layers, emotional depth and unexpected turns. The screenplay is said to revolve around her journey, blending psychological drama with mystery. The team is currently working on the final draft of the script and preparing a production timeline before the film goes on floors. Another major project after Article 370 Following her National Award win and the success of Article 370, Kahaani 3 is expected to be another significant milestone in Yami Gautam's career. She is reportedly set to lead yet another female-driven thriller, further strengthening her presence in the genre. Although the makers have not officially announced the project, reports of Yami collaborating with Sujoy Ghosh have already generated considerable buzz. Sujoy Ghosh returns to the franchise Sujoy Ghosh, who directed Kahaani (2012) and Kahaani 2 (2016), is expected to once again bring his trademark style of suspense storytelling to the franchise. According to reports, he and his team are focused on ensuring that the third instalment feels fresh while preserving the gripping narrative and mystery that made the earlier films so successful. Both Kahaani and Kahaani 2, starring Vidya Balan, earned critical acclaim for their strong female protagonists, tightly woven narratives and shocking climaxes. The first film, in particular, became one of Hindi cinema's most celebrated thrillers for its innovative storytelling and memorable twists. Expectations are now high for Kahaani 3 to deliver a similarly engaging cinematic experience.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Delhi High Court has ordered the removal of the teaser for the upcoming film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy from social media platforms. The court said that if the producer fails to take down the teaser links within 24 hours, platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube will be directed to remove the content. The order came after actor Salman Khan approached the court seeking protection of his personality rights and his right to a fair trial. Khan argued that the teaser falsely links him to the underworld, damaging his reputation and prejudicing ongoing legal proceedings. Court criticises producer's conduct During the hearing, Justice Jyoti Singh strongly criticised the conduct of the film's producer, Amit Jani. Observing that the producer appeared to be disregarding the law, the court said his actions suggested that he believed he was above legal accountability. The judge stressed that no individual is above the law and noted that even an ordinary citizen cannot be subjected to such treatment. The court further observed that a person's reputation takes years to build but can be damaged in an instant, and restoring it is often extremely difficult. Salman's legal team: Teaser deliberately references the actor Representing Salman Khan, his legal team argued that the teaser, released on May 29, deliberately creates the impression that the film is based on the actor and the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. They told the court that the character shown in the teaser bears a close resemblance to Salman Khan and is also seen wearing his signature bracelet, making the reference unmistakable. The actor's lawyers further submitted that a legal notice had earlier been served on producer Amit Jani, asking him to refrain from using Salman's identity. However, they alleged that Jani publicly tore up the notice during an interview instead of responding through legal channels. They also noted that the producer later claimed he had been receiving threats online following the controversy. Producer says teaser does not identify Salman Khan Responding to the allegations, counsel for producer Amit Jani argued that the film does not mention Salman Khan by name at any point. The lawyer also told the court that the teaser does not use artificial intelligence or deepfake technology to depict the actor. According to the producer's side, the clip is only a teaser, and creating a film inspired by events that are already in the public domain does not infringe upon an individual's personality rights. The court, however, was not convinced. It observed that releasing such material while related legal proceedings are still pending could interfere with the administration of justice and raise serious legal concerns. 1998 blackbuck case at the centre of the dispute The controversy stems from the 1998 blackbuck poaching case registered against Salman Khan during the shooting of Hum Saath-Saath Hain in Rajasthan. Salman Khan's legal team informed the court that the actor has already been acquitted in three of the four cases arising from the incident. They added that an appeal against his conviction in the remaining case is still pending before the Rajasthan High Court and the Supreme Court. The lawyers argued that portraying the matter in the film while judicial proceedings are ongoing could prejudice the case, influence public opinion, and undermine Salman Khan's right to a fair trial. They also contended that the film has the potential to inflame sentiments within a community, further complicating the pending legal proceedings.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[India legend Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma bought a new house in Versova, Mumbai, worth ₹18.29 crore. The couple currently live in London with their kids Vamika and Akaay. According to The Telegraph's report, Virat and Anushka currently live in the Notting Hill district of London. However, the address isn't confirmed by the couple yet. Notably, in January they had also bought a property in Alibaug. Virat, Anushka buy new house in Mumbai worth ₹18.29 crore As Hindustan Times quoted Zapkey in the report, the apartment is located on a higher floor of the Godrej Skyshore project in Versova's Andheri West area. The property includes an exclusive area of 316 sq ft along with three dedicated parking spaces. The transaction was registered on 21 July, 2026, with a stamp duty payment of ₹1.09 crore and registration charges of ₹30,000. Based on the sale value and carpet area, the apartment was purchased at an estimated rate of ₹69,159 per sq ft, highlighting the continued demand for premium homes in Mumbai's western suburbs. Couple bought second house in Alibaug in January In January 2026, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma expanded their real estate portfolio by purchasing over five acres of land in Zirad village near Awas Beach in Alibaug for around ₹37.86 crore. According to property documents accessed by CRE Matrix, the deal involved two adjoining land parcels covering nearly 21,010 square metres and was officially registered on January 13, 2026. The celebrity couple has continued to invest in Alibaug after previously buying an eight-acre plot in 2022 for nearly ₹19 crore. They have since built a luxurious villa on the property, equipped with premium amenities, including a temperature-controlled swimming pool, a bespoke kitchen, four bathrooms, a jacuzzi, a spacious garden, covered parking, and staff quarters. Virat Kohli's real estate business investments One of Virat Kohli's most notable real estate investments is a luxury sea-facing apartment in Mumbai's upscale Worli locality. The four-bedroom residence, spread across 7,171 square feet on the 35th floor, was reportedly purchased in 2016 for ₹34 crore. However, media reports later claimed that the cricketer cancelled the booking. Kohli also owns a lavish 10,000 sq ft house in Gurugram's prestigious DLF Phase 1, which is reportedly worth around ₹80 crore and features a private swimming pool, a modern gym, and several premium amenities. Over the years, Kohli and Anushka Sharma have built an impressive portfolio of luxury residential properties across Mumbai and other cities, making them among the leading celebrity investors in India's premium real estate market. Their high-value property purchases have consistently attracted attention, with experts believing such investments boost buyer confidence and highlight the growing appeal of branded luxury housing projects.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Ajmer: Shastri Nagar Residents Call for Enhanced Police Presence Amid Rising Crime</h2>
<p>AJMER: Residents of Shastri Nagar Extension in Ajmer are gripped by fear and concern as the area witnesses a troubling increase in thefts and other criminal activities. Faced with persistent insecurity, community members have formally appealed to the police administration to bolster security measures.</p>
<p>On Monday, office bearers from the Shastri Nagar Vistar Vikas Sanstha submitted a memorandum to the Superintendent of Police, urging the immediate reinstatement of regular police patrols throughout the colony.</p>
<h2>Vulnerable Demographics Spark Concerns</h2>
<p>The memorandum highlights that Shastri Nagar, an ADA-approved colony approximately 45 years old, comprises around 500 houses. A significant portion of its population consists of retired individuals and elderly residents living alone, as many younger family members are away for work.</p>
<p>This demographic, the institution points out, makes the area particularly vulnerable. Anti-social elements appear to be exploiting the absence of younger residents and the isolation of seniors, leading to a surge in burglaries and other criminal acts.</p>
<h2>Lapse in Patrolling Fuels Insecurity</h2>
<p>According to the Sanstha, the colony previously benefited from consistent day and night police patrolling. However, this vital security arrangement has reportedly ceased almost entirely over the past year. This discontinuation has created a palpable sense of fear and insecurity among the residents.</p>
<p>The community has collectively urged the Superintendent of Police to promptly re-establish regular patrols and strengthen the overall security framework in the area. Their plea aims to curb the rising crime rate and restore a sense of safety and confidence among the people.</p>
<h2>FAQ</h2>
<h3>Q1: What specific actions are Shastri Nagar residents demanding from the police?</h3>
<p>Residents are primarily demanding the immediate resumption of regular day and night police patrolling in Shastri Nagar Extension and a general strengthening of security arrangements to curb criminal activities.</p>
<h3>Q2: Why is Shastri Nagar Extension considered particularly vulnerable to crime?</h3>
<p>The colony is home to a large number of retired individuals and elderly residents living alone, as many working family members reside elsewhere. This demographic, coupled with a reported lapse in police patrolling over the past year, makes the area an attractive target for anti-social elements.</p>

<media:keywords>Anupam, Kher, slams, abusive, slogans, student, protest:Actor, says, People, every, age, used, indecent, words, against, the, Prime, Minister, was, disturbing</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Following the end of the student protests, veteran actor Anupam Kher criticised the language used during the demonstrations and voiced his support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He condemned what he described as a decline in public discourse, saying people across all age groups had crossed the boundaries of respectful language. Kher shared a video on his official Instagram account along with a lengthy note. In the caption, he wrote: "The greatest strength of democracy is our voice, but its greatest beauty is our language. Disagreement is necessary. Asking questions is necessary. Holding governments accountable is also necessary. But if we lose the dignity of our language, the power of our words will also diminish. This video is not for or against any individual. It is in support of a culture where ideas may clash, but words should not be degraded. We can have differences of opinion while maintaining civility, because a civilised society is defined not only by its ideas but also by the way they are expressed. Jai Hind. Vande Mataram." In the video, he said, 'The movement is over, many things became clear. It was also proven that if a student honestly puts forth their point, then democracy listens to them.' He further said, 'One incident in this entire movement has deeply saddened all of us. The way derogatory and indecent language was used for India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi in front of cameras and on stages; seeing that, the mind was distressed. This is not a question of one individual, but of the culture that we want to leave behind for the coming generation.' Further, the actor said, ‘We can disagree with any leader, criticise their policies, question them; this is the soul of democracy. But when arguments end, and abuses begin, there is no debate left, only noise remains. Narendra Modi has been in public life for the last 30 years; the people of the country have repeatedly given him their trust. We don’t need to agree with every one of his decisions, but it is our collective responsibility to respect the dignity of the office of any elected minister.' Further, Anupam Kher says, 'The sorrow is not that he was opposed. The sorrow is that the language of opposition became so petty. This was not limited to just the youth. People from every section became a part of this deteriorating language. When elders themselves forget decorum, how can we expect it from the coming generation? By all means, ask questions to democracy, but don't let words become so poor that they reveal our character before our point, because a country's identity is formed by its people and their language.' Many celebs supported the student protest Many big artists, including Salman Khan, Preity Zinta, Dia Mirza, openly supported the student protest, while many celebrities, including Prakash Raj, Shabana Azmi, Ayesha Khan, Imran Khan, Munawar Faruqui, also became part of the protest.

<media:keywords>Kidney health, CKD symptoms, Organ care, Health awareness</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The human body's natural filtration system, your kidneys play a crucial role in removing waste products from the blood and maintaining fluid balance. Every day, these vital organs tirelessly filter approximately 200 liters of blood, extracting toxins, waste, and excess fluids that are later expelled as urine. Beyond filtration, kidneys are essential for regulating electrolytes, managing blood pressure, and activating Vitamin D, which is critical for strong bones.</p>
<p>However, kidneys can be affected by various conditions, including Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), kidney stones, infections, and high blood pressure. If left unchecked, these issues can escalate, potentially leading to kidney failure, necessitating dialysis or even a transplant. Such conditions can be life-threatening. Recognizing kidney problems early can significantly mitigate these severe outcomes. Let's look at the key warning signs associated with kidney disease.</p>
<h2>The Silent Threat: Kidney Disease</h2>
<p>Kidney disease is often referred to as a "silent killer." Experts highlight that Chronic Kidney Disease can silently damage the kidneys without clear warning signs. Initial symptoms are often mild, meaning many individuals remain unaware of their condition until it reaches an advanced stage, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant. Research indicates a rapidly growing global burden of kidney disease, driven by increasing cases of diabetes, high blood pressure, and lifestyle-related illnesses. This makes early detection paramount, with experts advocating for regular screening tests.</p>
<p>Here are some critical warning signs of kidney disease:</p>
<h3>Frequent Nighttime Urination</h3>
<p>NHS.uk identifies frequent urination as one of the early indicators of kidney disease. Experts suggest that repeatedly waking up to urinate at night could be a symptom of this condition. When the kidney's filters are compromised, the urge to urinate increases, particularly noticeable during nighttime hours.</p>
<h3>Swelling in Feet or Legs</h3>
<p>The Cleveland Clinic points out that swelling around the hands, ankles, or face can be a sign of kidney failure. Experts explain that when kidneys don't function correctly, they fail to filter out excess sodium and water, leading to fluid accumulation in the body. This often results in swelling, particularly in the feet or legs. If your lower legs feel unusually tight, especially where shoes or socks are worn, it might signal kidney issues.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Your kidneys filter about 200 liters of blood every single day, working tirelessly to keep your body clean and balanced.</div>
<h3>Blood in Urine</h3>
<p>Experts warn that the presence of blood in urine is a serious indicator of kidney damage. Hematuria, or blood in urine, signifies damage to the urinary tract and could point to kidney stones, infection, or severe kidney disease. If your urine appears pink, red, or brown, or if you notice blood clots, immediate medical consultation is advised. The National Kidney Foundation states that blood in urine is one of the most alarming warning signs of kidney disease.</p>
<h3>Foamy Urine</h3>
<p>Foamy urine, medically known as proteinuria, occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to properly filter proteins. Consequently, proteins like albumin leak into the urine, causing excessive foam. This is a clear sign that the kidneys are not functioning optimally.</p>
<h3>Shortness of Breath</h3>
<p>Kidney disease can lead to fluid accumulation in the lungs, causing shortness of breath, according to experts. While more common in advanced stages of kidney disease, some individuals may experience it earlier. The Mayo Clinic explains that if the body cannot filter waste and excess fluids, they can build up in the lungs, making breathing difficult. If you experience shortness of breath, especially when resting or lying down, seeking prompt medical attention is advisable.</p>
<h3>Persistent Fatigue and Weakness</h3>
<p>Fatigue is a common symptom across many health issues. Experts note that when kidneys are not functioning effectively, an excessive buildup of waste products and toxins in the body can lead to a lack of energy and persistent tiredness. If you constantly feel fatigued even after adequate rest, it could be a sign that your kidneys are not filtering waste properly.</p>

<p>When questioned about the alleged paper leak case in Punjab, Deepke confirmed that the organization is actively working on the issue. He stated that CJP would soon voice its stand on the matter, with planning currently in full swing. The CJP might also extend its campaign to other states in the future, addressing examination irregularities and paper leak cases across India.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Student movements have historically played a significant role in shaping India's political and social landscape, often leading to major policy changes and legislative reforms.</div>
<h3>Removing Student Cases: A Top Priority</h3>
<p>Deepke emphasized that his immediate priority revolves around the cases registered against students during the recent movement. Conversations are ongoing, with efforts focused on ensuring no student faces punitive action. Legal initiatives are being pursued to quash the cases filed against all students who were part of the protest.</p>
<h3>Protest Concludes, Issues Remain Firm</h3>
<p>It's worth noting that CJP announced the conclusion of its 36-day protest on Saturday. The demonstration aimed at demanding reforms in the examination system, stringent action against paper leak incidents, the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, and broader issues concerning student welfare. With the protest now over, the organization appears to be gearing up to advance its strategy on both legal and organizational fronts. The meeting with Kapil Sibal is widely seen as a crucial step in this direction.</p>
<h3>Eyes on the Coming Days</h3>
<p>Abhijit Deepke's statements make it clear that CJP is currently assessing the post-protest situation. The organization is expected to make detailed announcements soon regarding the registered student cases, paper leak issues, and its future strategy. All eyes will be on CJP's next action plan and any potential dialogues with the government in the days to come.</p>

<media:keywords>Amaal, Mallik, warns, Tanishk, Bagchi:Singer, says, Stay, within, your, limits, Ill, back, you, cross, the, line</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Singer-composer Amaal Mallik has once again targeted music composer Tanishk Bagchi, reiterating the allegations he made earlier and issuing a fresh warning. Although Amaal deleted his earlier posts from X, he clarified that he continues to stand by every word he said. In a new post, Amaal wrote: "I'm deleting these tweets only to clear the clutter from my timeline. This is a conscious decision. I've already said what I wanted to say and made my point. Before anyone runs headlines claiming that I've deleted my tweets, let me make it clear—I stand by everything I've said over the past few days. I'm not taking back a single statement; I'm simply removing the posts." Amaal added that he had kept his frustration to himself for nearly a decade but finally felt compelled to speak out. “For almost 10 years, I buried my anger. But after all these years, I had to speak up because no one in this industry stands for what's right or calls out what's wrong. Someone had to say it. I stayed silent about his unethical actions for far too long.” Taking a dig at Tanishk Bagchi without naming him, he wrote, Amaal Mallik continued his remarks by saying that he had exposed the truth about someone he described as a "very bad person." He wrote that karma catches up with everyone, including those who had supported or ignored what he called years of unethical and inhumane behaviour. In his post, Amaal added: "Today, I've revealed the truth about someone I believe has caused a lot of harm. Karma keeps a record of everyone's actions, including those who stood by him despite knowing what he was doing. Justice may take time, but it always arrives." He ended the message with a stern warning directed at Tanishk Bagchi, writing: “One last thing—know your limits when it comes to me. Consider this a lifetime warning. If you try to target or trouble anyone again, remember that I'll be there to stand up against you.” Amaal Earlier Made Several Serious Allegations Against Tanishk Earlier this week, Amaal Mallik accused Tanishk Bagchi of copying other composers' work, taking undue credit, and engaging in unethical behaviour. Among his claims, Amaal alleged that Tanishk had promised to marry a woman who worked in the AR department at Tips Music Company but later ended the relationship and married someone else. In a post on X, Amaal wrote: "Did you settle the MeToo case? You promised marriage to a girl from the AR department at Tips Music Company, exploited her trust, and then left her. Today you're married to someone else. I feel sorry for the woman who chose someone like you. That girl is in deep shock and depression, and the truth will come out soon." Amaal also alleged that Tanishk had tried to intimidate him by invoking the name of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. It is important to note that these are allegations made by Amaal Mallik. Tanishk Bagchi has denied the accusations and has publicly stated that the claims are false. Amaal accuses Tanishk of issuing threats Amaal also alleged that Tanishk Bagchi had tried to intimidate him by invoking the name of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. In another post on X, he wrote: "Stop trying to threaten me indirectly by taking Devendra Fadnavis ji's name. That won't work on me. I know I'm not in the wrong, so I have nothing to fear. If you want a dirty fight, come out in the open. The place where you couldn't even become a peon, we are the principal, trustee and music teacher. Now let's meet in court. If you really want to take this further, come. Tanishk Bagchi, should I show you my real side?" Tanishk had earlier raised a royalty dispute The controversy comes shortly after Tanishk Bagchi claimed on social media that he had not received ₹8 lakh in royalties for the title track of the film Saiyaara. Following his statement, Yash Raj Films (YRF) responded, saying that all payments had been made as per the terms of the contract. Soon after the studio's clarification, Tanishk deleted his post. 
 After Tanishk's post, Amaal Mallik wrote on social media that he has been fighting against the flaws of the music industry since 2015 and now people have woken up 10 years late. Since then, Amaal Mallik continuously shared many posts against Tanishk. In one post, Amaal called Tanishk 'Mr. Remix' and someone who ruins original songs. Amaal heavily criticized Tanishk, accusing him of running fake campaigns. Currently, Tanishk Bagchi has not yet issued any statement regarding this controversy. Who is Tanishk Bagchi? Amaal Mallik has been controversial Amaal Mallik is a popular singer and composer in Bollywood. He started his career by composing for films like Salman Khan's 'Jai Ho' and Sonam Kapoor's 'Khoobsurat'. Amaal Mallik's Popular Songs A few months ago, Amaal Mallik announced that he was breaking ties with his brother Armaan and family, which brought him into the limelight. After this, he participated in the reality show Bigg Boss 18.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>‘Kushal, very, good, person’:Gauahar, Khan, told, husband, Zaid, about, her, before, show, ‘Alliance’, had, relationship, with, Bigg, Boss, contestant</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Gauahar Khan has unexpectedly found herself back in the headlines, not because she's on screen, but this time about her husband, Zaid Darbar, who is sharing screen with her ex-boyfriend, Kushal Tandon, on Prime Video's reality show Alliance. The trio's past relationship has become one of the biggest talking points of the show, especially after Kushal made a remark referencing Gauahar, triggering backlash on social media. Amid the controversy, Zaid revealed that before entering the show, Gauahar had told him only one thing about Kushal: that he was "a very good person,” He said he trusted his wife completely. Kushal’s remark ‘Tujhe saari meri cheezein pasand aati hai’ After Kushal Tandon's controversial remark on Alliance, "Tujhe saari meri cheezein pasand aati hai," which many viewers interpreted as an indirect reference to his former relationship with Gauahar Khan, social media criticised both Kushal and Zaid Darbar, who laughed off the comment. Gauahar came out strongly in support of her husband, praising him for handling the situation with maturity. She called Zaid's performance on the show "killer" with "0 insecurities" and shared a message saying, "The more secure you are, the less you take offense." She also wrote further, "Not everything needs a knee-jerk reaction. Only the wise know to do better. Proud of you, Zaid Darbar." How did Gauahar Khan and Zaid Darbar fall in love? Gauahar Khan met choreographer and content creator Zaid Darbar in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown. They reportedly interacted first through social media before they started talking regularly. Despite an age gap of around 12 years, the two quickly grew close and made their relationship public. Parents of two sons, Zehaan and Farwaan They welcomed their first son, Zehaan, in May 2023 and became parents for the second time in 2025, welcoming Farwaan. Gauahar often shares glimpses of their family life on social media and has described motherhood as the most fulfilling phase of her life. Gauahar Khan and Kushal Tandon's love story began on Bigg Boss Long before marrying Zaid, Gauahar was in a relationship with actor Kushal Tandon. She met him on Bigg Boss 7 in 2013, where the two fell in love during the reality show. Their chemistry became one of the season's highlights. That same season also changed Gauahar's career. She emerged as the winner of Bigg Boss 7, defeating Tanishaa Mukerji in the finale. The victory made her one of television's most popular reality stars. After the show, Gauahar and Kushal continued dating publicly, frequently appearing together at events and television shows. Fans expected that they would get married, but eventually they broke up. Why did they break up? However, the relationship ended in 2014 after about a year together. While neither of them revealed every detail behind the split, both hinted that differences in compatibility and personal priorities led to the breakup. Reports at the time suggested disagreements over marriage and lifestyle choices had strained the relationship. Kushal had also said in interviews that relationships require equal effort from both partners. Gauahar, meanwhile, chose not to discuss the breakup in detail and moved on with her life and career. Despite ending on a difficult note, both have maintained respectful public distance over the years. Their first on-screen reunion through Alliance has therefore attracted significant attention. From reality star to actress and mother After Bigg Boss, Gauahar continued working across films, web series and television. She appeared in projects such as Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, Ishaqzaade, Fever, 14 Phere and web series including Tandav. She also participated in reality shows like Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi and hosted several television programs. Today, she balances acting with family life and frequently speaks about motherhood, parenting and work-life balance while remaining active on social media. Gauahar Khan's major controversies Gauahar's career has also seen several controversies: Why Zaid Darbar and Kushal Tandon are making headlines? The unusual dynamic between Zaid and Kushal has become one of Alliance's biggest talking points. On the show, Kushal openly acknowledged their shared history by saying he was once in love with the woman Zaid is now married to. Zaid responded maturely, saying that only people with life experience could understand such situations and that they were cordial because enough time had passed. Zaid Darbar is a choreographer, content creator, and social media influencer. He rose to fame through his dance videos and digital content before expanding into music videos and acting. He is also the son of veteran music composer Ismail Darbar. His brother Awez Darbar is also a content creator and has participated in Bigg Boss recent season.]]> </content:encoded>

Shortly after this, a screenshot of Shah Rukh Khan's post went viral on social media. The post read, "Dear students, you have shown where true strength lies in books, in pens, and in your voice. Your protest is not just against an exam, but for a better, transparent, and fair system. Every student deserves to have their hard work evaluated based on their effort, and not because of any paper leak or scam. This fight is both right and necessary. The future of the country is in the hands of its youth." Upon fact-checking, it was revealed that Shah Rukh Khan had not shared any such post from any of his official social media accounts.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actor and dancer Raghav Juyal is currently promoting his upcoming film Bhai Tera Star Hai. During a promotional event in Jaipur, he got into a heated exchange with a reporter after being questioned about the ongoing student protest. As Raghav was leaving the venue, a reporter from a local news channel asked, "You promoted your film among students, but you haven't spoken about the student protest." In response, Raghav placed his hand on the reporter's shoulder and said, "The courage you have to ask me this question—show the same courage to those who should actually be answering it." Raghav, annoyed, started to leave, just then the reporter again said that he had come among students. To this, Raghav retorted, I have posted it on Instagram; you can read that, and show so much courage where it needs to be shown. Show courage there, then this situation wouldn't arise.  Ever since Raghav Juyal's video surfaced, there have been demands on social media to boycott him. Now Raghav himself re-shared a video from his official social media account, in which demands for his boycott were being made. Along with this, the actor wrote - What I had to say, I have said. What was Raghav's post on the protest? Raghav Juyal is among those celebrities who first shared posts related to the student protest. Raghav first shared a picture of Bhagat Singh and in the second post, shared dialogues related to the movement. Raghav's posts shared amidst the protest- Is in discussion for being associated with Shehnaaz Gill Many celebrities, including Shehnaaz Gill and Aryan Khan, attended Raghav Juyal's birthday party. During this, Raghav appeared very protective of Shehnaaz. After his birthday party, he protected Shehnaaz from the crowd and helped her into the car, even lifting her into his lap. In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Raghav clarified that protecting any woman is not a publicity stunt for him, but his basic instinct. He said that whenever a woman is with him, he will 'protect her until his last breath'.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bollywood superstar Salman Khan shared a cryptic post on social media late at night. It has received over 1.3 million likes in just a few hours. Salman shared two shirtless pictures on Instagram. The shirtless pictures are from the gym, in which Salman is standing near gym equipment with a towel on his head. Along with these pictures, Salman Khan has written, "Salman Khan got scared, hmmmm, he who got scared, consider him dead." In the news for supporting student protests Salman Khan is currently in the news for supporting the student protests ongoing at Jantar Mantar. Two days ago, Salman shared a post supporting the students and expressed disappointment over the protest turning violent. He wrote- This was a very peaceful movement. It is very sad to see that it had to take a violent turn. My deepest condolences to the students injured in this movement and their families. Paper leaks are a very serious issue. It is heartening to see that the students of our country have come together to demand a better education system, and their parents have also supported them. Further, Salman Khan writes, I wholeheartedly appreciate this step taken by the students. The dedication, honesty, and hard work they have shown in studying to build their future is commendable. This young generation will build an educated and strong India and bring glory to the nation. Salman further wrote, This movement and this protest have been carried out in absolutely the right direction, and the students have advanced it in a completely peaceful manner. Their courage, bravery, and dedication towards education are inspiring. This issue is between the students and the education system. It should not be given a political color. The full credit for this should go only to the students of our country. I am fully confident that the government will also support them and take positive steps to further strengthen our education system. This will be a win-win situation for everyone. I hope and pray for a positive decision. May God bless all those who wish to acquire education. Wish that education becomes the next trend - Salman Khan At the end of his lengthy post, Salman wrote, 'My wish is that education becomes the next trend and fashion. Every year, people's enthusiasm for studies should increase. So much so that people from outside come to India to study and India becomes the education hub.' Ever since Salman Khan's post came out, many big Bollywood celebrities also started supporting the protest. These include Varun Dhawan, Preity Zinta, Kareena Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan. Shortly after Salman's post, Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a reel on the issue and spoke about discussing it. Later wrote - Sonam please eat something, fast broken in a few hours
After Prime Minister Narendra Modi's post came out, Salman Khan appealed to Sonam Wangchuk to end her fast in a new post. Coincidentally, he ended his fast a few hours later. Salman Khan had written, "Students are our top priority, whether in terms of education or their safety. Therefore, they do not need to worry about anything, nor should their parents worry about them. The Honorable Prime Minister has also tweeted on this matter, and I am fully confident that strict action will be taken against all those responsible for the paper leak. Therefore, my appeal to the students is to return home and be with their parents." Further, Salman wrote, 'Sonam, this matter is over now, brother. Don't take it any further. If needed in the future, show the same spirit again, although I don't think it's likely. For now, eat something. If you want, I can even send food for you from my home.']]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hollywood actor John Cusack has become the latest international celebrity to express support for the ongoing CJP-led student protest over alleged NEET-UG irregularities. The actor shared an essay by author Arundhati Roy on X, criticising the reported use of force against protesting students during the 'Chalo Sansad' march in Delhi. Along with the post, Cusack wrote, "Beautiful news from my favourite fellow cockroach," drawing attention to the movement. This is not the first time Cusack has spoken about issues in India. In 2019, he also voiced support for students protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and criticised the police action at Jamia Millia Islamia University. He also extended support for the farmers' protest. Who is John Cusack? John Cusack is an American actor, producer and screenwriter known for choosing unconventional roles over mainstream Hollywood films. Born on June 28, 1966, in Evanston, Illinois, he began acting at a young age through Chicago's Piven Theatre Workshop and made his film debut in Class (1983). Over the years, he earned critical acclaim with films such as Say Anything..., Grosse Pointe Blank, Con Air, High Fidelity, Being John Malkovich, and 2012. Apart from acting, Cusack is also known for his outspoken political and social views. He received the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012. Over the years, several Hollywood celebrities have commented on major protests like the farmers' protest and public movements in India. Rihanna's tweet during the farmers' protest In February 2021, global pop star Rihanna brought worldwide attention to the farmers' protest after sharing a news article on X (then Twitter). She wrote, "Why aren't we talking about this?!", along with the hashtag #FarmersProtest. Her tweet quickly went viral and sparked a global conversation about the protests. Greta Thunberg joined the conversation Climate activist Greta Thunberg also expressed solidarity with the farmers by posting messages in support of the protest. Her tweets generated widespread debate in India and abroad. Lilly Singh extended support Canadian YouTuber and television host Lilly Singh, who has Indian roots, also backed the farmers' protest on social media. She urged people not to stay silent and encouraged conversations around the issue. Susan Sarandon had expressed solidarity with Indian farmers
 Other international voices Apart from Rihanna, Greta Thunberg and Lilly Singh, several other international personalities, including climate activist Jamie Margolin, environmental activist Elizabeth Wathuti, and British MP Claudia Webbe, also expressed solidarity with the farmers' movement in 2021. Former adult-film actor and Lebanese model Mia Khalifa criticised the internet shutdown near protest sites, while social media personality Amanda Cerny urged people to pay attention to the demonstrations. John Cusack's latest post marks another instance of an international celebrity commenting on a major public movement in India. While such interventions often generate widespread discussion, they have also sparked debates over the role of global public figures in India's domestic issues.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[After Salman Khan, it is being claimed on social media that Shah Rukh Khan has also supported the student protest ongoing at Jantar Mantar regarding the NEET controversy. A screenshot in Shah Rukh's name is rapidly going viral on the internet, which contains a message in support of the students. In this post, apart from paper leaks, a voice has been raised for a transparent system. However, upon investigation, this screenshot turned out to be completely fake. Shah Rukh Khan has not shared any such post on his official social media accounts nor has he given any reaction on this issue so far. What is being claimed in the viral screenshot?
The viral screenshot on social media, attributed to Shah Rukh Khan, stated that students have shown that real power lies in books, pens, and voices. The fake post read, "This fight is not just against an exam, but for a fair and transparent system. Every student wants an account of their hard work, not paper leaks or scams. I am emotionally and morally with all of you." After this message surfaced, many people felt that Shah Rukh Khan had also expressed his views on this issue. Truth Revealed, Fans Expressed Disappointment
When Shah Rukh Khan's official Instagram and X (Twitter) accounts were checked, no such statement or post was found there. It then became clear that the screenshot going viral on the internet was completely fake and edited. Shah Rukh's fans also criticised users sharing fake screenshots on social media and expressed their displeasure for spreading misinformation. Many Bollywood celebrities, including Salman Khan, have come out in support.
Students, led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), are continuously protesting at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, demanding reforms in education and against the NEET paper leak. This movement has received support from many prominent Bollywood celebrities. Artists like Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Imran Khan, Shabana Azmi, and Rajkummar Rao have condemned the lathi-charge on students and justified their demands. Meanwhile, people were also waiting for Shah Rukh Khan's statement, which someone took advantage of to make this fake post go viral. Shah Rukh Khan busy shooting for 'King' film
Shah Rukh Khan is currently busy shooting for his upcoming action film 'King'. In this film, being directed by Siddharth Anand, Shah Rukh will be seen with his daughter Suhana Khan. Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Raghav Juyal, and Rani Mukerji are also in lead roles in the film. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 24, 2026.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress Dia Mirza has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's response to the NEET paper leak controversy, saying his recent video message failed to address the concerns of those affected. Sharing a note on social media, Dia described the statement as disappointing and questioned the lack of empathy for students and their families. She asked why there was no mention of the students who have been on a hunger strike for weeks, the young protesters demanding reforms, or the families who lost their children. Her reaction came after PM Modi released a video message announcing plans for stricter anti-paper leak laws and fast-track courts to deal with such cases. Dia Mirza says PM's message 'Did nothing to heal broken hearts' Actor Dia Mirza criticised the government's response by sharing an emotional note on her Instagram Stories. She questioned the absence of any message for the families who lost their children and the students who have been protesting for weeks alongside Sonam Wangchuk. In her post, Dia wrote, "Not a single word for the parents who lost their children. Nothing about the students fighting for their rights, Sonam ji, or those who have been on a hunger strike for weeks. Sir, how can this be so difficult?" She also questioned the timing and content of the Prime Minister's address, writing, “It took 47 days for you to speak. And after all this time, nothing was said that could bring comfort to the millions of broken hearts.” PM Modi announces anti-paper leak law Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed students through a video message released shortly after midnight on Thursday, announcing that the Centre will introduce a law providing for strict punishment in cases of examination paper leaks. He said the proposed legislation would be placed before the Union Cabinet for approval, after which it would be introduced in Parliament next week. The government, he added, would try to ensure its early passage. In the 2-minute-56-second video shared on his official X account, Modi said paper leaks are a serious issue that affects the future of millions of students and causes distress to their families. He also highlighted the government's recent actions, saying several accused in paper leak cases had been arrested and sent to jail. Modi added that to ensure students did not lose an academic year, examinations for around 2.2 million candidates were conducted within a short period, with the results declared on July 19. Students continue protest at Jantar Mantar Meanwhile, student organisations led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) have been protesting at Delhi's Jantar Mantar for nearly a month. The protesters are demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET paper leak and irregularities in other competitive examinations. The protesters are also calling for comprehensive reforms to India's examination and education systems to prevent similar incidents in the future.]]> </content:encoded>

Among those attending the first-day-first-show was actor Trisha Krishnan, who is frequently linked to Vijay. While Trisha chose not to respond to questions about the film or their rumoured relationship, her mother, Uma Krishnan, shared an emotional reaction, saying she would miss watching Vijay on the big screen. Speaking to ANI outside the theatre, Uma Krishnan said, "I feel very emotional. We will miss seeing him in films." Her remark comes as Vijay prepares to step away from acting to focus on his political career. Trisha, who arrived to watch the film, got stuck in the crowd Trisha Krishnan went to watch Jana Nayagan with her friends. While leaving after watching the film, Trisha was surrounded by a crowd, after which the actress was seen struggling to reach her car.

A little while after watching the film, Trisha shared a photo with friends, with the caption, 'We made it out alive'. And on the film, it was written, 'One last time, one last dance, the madness of Jana Nayagan.'

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The trailer of Ranbir Kapoor's much-awaited film Ramayana: Part 1 has been postponed. It was originally scheduled to release today, July 24, but was delayed at the last moment, leaving fans disappointed. Meanwhile, Dipika Chikhlia, who played Sita in Ramanand Sagar's iconic TV series Ramayan, has questioned the film's portrayal of certain facts. She believes the new adaptation will not match the legacy of the original television series. Dipika Chikhlia raises questions over incorrect portrayal of facts Dipika Chikhlia, who played Goddess Sita in Ramanand Sagar's TV show Ramayana, questioned the portrayal of Sita (played by Sai Pallavi) with curly hair in the film Ramayana. In an interview given to Variety India, Dipika said about Sai Pallavi, "In Tulsidas's Ramayana, Sita is described as a woman with almond-shaped eyes, a certain stature, long hair, and fair complexion. This is what Ramanand Sagar was also looking for, and he found that form in me." Further, she said, "My identity is still as Sita. Many times people forget my name, but they remember that I played the role of Sita. This is my identity. I think the impact of our Ramayan will be very profound on the film 'Ramayan'. During the pandemic, when our Ramayan was re-telecast on Doordarshan, the new generation also watched it. In such a situation, it is very difficult to erase that image. Nowhere in Ramayan is it mentioned that Sita Ji had curly hair." Annu Kapoor has also raised questions about Sai Pallavi's casting Senior actor Annu Kapoor recently questioned the casting of South actress Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita in the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer film Ramayana. In a recent interview with Zoom, Annu Kapoor stated that biopics should not be made in India. Further, Annu Kapoor commented on Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film Ramayana, saying, 'What will they make? Whatever they make, they will technologically make Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana very glitzy and full of unnecessary showmanship. But after that, think about who you have given the role of Sita to. Sita is a mother; Hindus of this country consider Shri Ram Chandra to be an incarnation of Narayana, and who have they cast in the role of Mata Sita? Now you think about it.' Ramayana's trailer postponed The producer of the film Ramayana, Namit Malhotra, has issued a statement on the official social media account announcing the postponement of the trailer. He stated that the trailer has been postponed after partnering with Sony Pictures Entertainment, as they are now trying to bring it to a world level. At the end of the statement, Namit Malhotra also mentioned the student protest. He wrote, "I express my heartfelt gratitude to all the fans and supporters who believe in Ramayana, because of whom this has been possible. The youth of our country is our future. Let us all work together to protect our future and contribute our best to make it better. Jai Hind." Ramayana: Part-1 will be released on 8 November Notably, the epic saga film Ramayana is one of the most awaited films in Indian cinema. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi plays Mata Sita in this film. The film is scheduled to be released on 8 November. Ramayana's distribution rights to fetch the highest price According to a Variety India report, the film's producers are demanding ₹450 crore for the distribution of the Hindi version of the film Ramayana. Whereas, until now, the most expensive distribution rights were sold for Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film King for ₹250 crore. Even if this film deals for up to ₹300 crore instead of ₹450 crore, it will become the biggest distribution deal in the history of Bollywood.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress Narayani Shastri, who has appeared in many superhit TV shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kusum, and Koi Apna Sa, has recently given a big statement related to the TV industry and actors' drug use.  She herself has admitted that she has indulged in all kinds of intoxicants. Not only this, the actress has also claimed that a drug budget was made for TV industry parties, and sometimes even shoots had to be canceled. Actress Narayani Shastri recently spoke about Sushant Singh Rajput's death on Siddharth Kannan's podcast. The actress said that drugs were the reason for the actor's death. She said, 'Why he committed suicide is beyond my understanding. But I think drugs are the reason. Earlier, our industry used to have a party budget for how much alcohol would be budgeted. Now there is a budget for drugs.' The actress further said, 'Whether you like it or not, I myself was shocked to see that there is a budget for drugs. That's why I stopped partying many years ago. Now those parties are not like 'let's dance to a song', now parties are completely different.' The actress has claimed that drugs are not openly used in big parties of the TV industry, but they are openly used in small parties. She said, 'Everyone knows that everyone does drugs. I personally don't know who does drugs, but I have been to places where I have seen people taking drugs.' Further, the actress has said, 'I am not trying to become Sati Savitri, I have done all kinds of intoxicants in my life. But I did it as an experiment to see what happens by doing this. Otherwise, if you get into drugs, you can't do anything in life.' Narayani further said, 'Cocaine is addictive. I think cocaine is eating up the industry. It's eating up the world because everyone does drugs. I know very few people who don't do drugs. I didn't do all this, but when I went to such places, I used to be shocked to see people there.' Actors are not able to stand, shooting gets cancelled - Narayani When the actress was further asked if actors take drugs on set or in their vanity vans, she said, I dont want to name anyone, but this happens a lot. Our shoots have been cancelled because actors are not in a condition to shoot. Expensive actors are sitting on set, but the shoot isn't happening because people are not even able to stand. This hasn't happened in my last two shows, but it happened a lot in previous shows. In her controversial statement, Narayani Shastri clarified that she is not a drug addict; she only used all intoxicants to try them. The actress explained that she drank alcohol for the first time so that she would know what it tastes like if someone secretly gave her alcohol. Who is Actress Narayani Shastri?]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Many heroes came to cinema, many became superstars, but there was also an actor who lived patriotism on screen through films like Upkar, Purab Aur Paschim, Roti Kapda Aur Makaan. His name was Manoj Kumar. Patriotism was the reason people started forgetting his real name and began calling him by just one name, 'Bharat Kumar'. The passion, zeal, and pain seen in his films were not just acting. He himself heard the screams that arose from the India-Pakistan partition at the age of 10 and saw many lives lost. He saw his sick mother groaning in pain and his younger brother dying. There was no roof over their heads, no certainty about the future, and hope also began to fade, but who knew that the child who fled from Pakistan would become such an example of patriotism that everyone would recognise him more by the name Bharat Kumar than his real name. Today is the birth anniversary of Manoj Kumar alias Bharat Kumar. He passed away in April 2025, but if he were alive today, he would have been 88 years old. On the occasion of his birth anniversary, know the story of how he emerged from the pain of partition to become the hero of the country- Story- 1 Brother died in riots, doctors who didn't treat him were beaten with sticks, body was thrown into Yamuna.  July 24, 1937 Harikrishna Giri Goswami, who later became known as Manoj Kumar, was born into a Punjabi Hindu family in Abbottabad, British India. The area where he was born became part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, after the partition. Manoj Kumar was just 10 years old when the partition began after India gained independence from the British. Riots broke out, and to save their lives, Manoj Kumar's family came to live in the Hudson Line Refugee Camp in Delhi. His younger brother, Kukku, was just 2 months old. He had been unwell since birth, and his mother was also sick. Amidst the riots, doctors were also struggling to save their own lives, and it was then that his brother died due to lack of proper treatment. Recalling that childhood pain, Manoj Kumar said on Sansad TV's show 'Guftagoo' - "That weeping childhood, separated from Lahore, separated from Abbottabad. It was a very weeping childhood; even today, when I think about it, though I might control my eyes, my heart cries. The crying of the heart is very terrible." I am the eldest, my younger sister is Lalita. When the partition happened, mother gave birth to a younger brother. His name was Kukku, he was sick, mother was also sick. We were in a refugee camp. Mother was admitted to Tis Hazari Hospital in Delhi. When the siren sounded, the doctors and nurses would go underground. My mother was suffering, my brother was suffering. Mother was screaming to call the doctor. They were all underground. Mother screamed, my brother Kukku was gone. I was angry. I took a stick and went underground. I hit the doctors, and I hit the nurses too. Father came, he took control. The next day, that 2-month-old child was immersed in the Yamuna River, and as he went down, it felt as if I was drowning. Then, at night, father made me swear, with his hand on my head, that I would never indulge in riots or violence in life. Finally, Manoj Kumar said in a tearful voice, "He whose childhood has died, consider that man himself dead." Even after his brother's death, Manoj Kumar stayed in the refugee camp for 2 months, and after the situation improved, the family settled in Delhi. His father worked in a steel factory, but he was also a poet. When Manoj Kumar's father was in 5th grade, Allama Iqbal, after hearing his poem, gave him the title of 'Khizr'. When his work (kalam) was published, he received the Simran Award from the Maharashtra Urdu Academy. Anecdote - 2 Seeing Dilip Kumar die in films, he considered him an angel, thinking - 'I too will become an angel'. Manoj Kumar's education took place in Delhi. He was young when his maternal uncle often took him to watch films. By then, Dilip Kumar had become a star, whose films were often shown in cinemas. Manoj Kumar first watched Dilip Kumar's 1947 film 'Jugnu', in which his character dies. Until then, Manoj Kumar did not know what cinema was. Some time later, he watched Dilip Kumar's film 'Shaheed' (1948). In that too, Dilip Kumar was shown dying. When Manoj Kumar returned home after watching the film, he didn't sleep for a long time. He had only one thought in his mind: if that person had died a year ago (in the film Jugnu), how could he die again (in the film Shaheed)? When his mother saw him awake, she asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?" Manoj Kumar said in an innocent voice, "Biji (as he called his mother), how many times does a man die?" His mother replied, "Once." Manoj Kumar then said, "And what about someone who dies 2-3 times?" His mother said, "He must be an angel." That day, Manoj Kumar decided that when he grew up, he too would become an angel. Anecdote - 3 Arrived in Bombay after receiving a letter from his cousin, got work carrying luggage on set As he grew older, Manoj Kumar solidified his dream of becoming a hero. He completed his studies at Hindu College, Delhi. Manoj Kumar's cousin, Lekhraj Bhakri, was also associated with Hindi cinema. One day, when Manoj Kumar met Lekhraj, he looked at Manoj and immediately said, "You look like a hero." Manoj stood up upon hearing this and promptly said, "Then make me one." When Lekhraj started directing films, he remembered what Manoj had said. In 1956, he wrote a letter to Manoj's family asking them to send him to Bombay. After his parents' consent, Manoj reached Bombay and started living with his uncle and aunt. Lekhraj initially gave him the job of a set assistant, where he used to carry equipment related to shooting. After some time, due to his hard work, he started getting work as an assistant director.
 Story - 4 In his first film, 19-year-old Manoj Kumar was made a 90-year-old beggar, even his girlfriend couldn't recognise him. 
 Manoj Kumar's cousin, Lekhraj, directed the 1957 film Fashion, starring Mala Sinha and Pradeep Kumar in lead roles. Manoj assisted him in this film. He was just 19 years old at the time. Before the shooting began, Manoj himself was made to stand in front of the camera for light testing. When no actor was found for a small role in this film, Lekhraj asked Manoj to do it. Manoj thought it would be a good role, but later found out that 19-year-old Manoj Kumar had been offered the role of a 90-year-old beggar. He accepted it too and became a beggar with the full getup. By this time, Manoj Kumar liked Shashi, who studied with him in college in Delhi. Both wanted to marry each other. There was no telephone at home, so they would only talk when Manoj went to Delhi on vacation. When Manoj got work in the film Fashion, he couldn't inform his family and girlfriend Shashi. The film was released and Shashi went to watch it with her friends. She watched the entire film, but Manoj Kumar's getup as a beggar was such that she couldn't recognise him.
 The role in the film 'Fashion' was small, but Manoj Kumar managed to leave a deep impression with a few minutes of acting. Later, he started getting small roles in films like Sahara, Chand, and Honeymoon.
Story - 5 Name changed inspired by Dilip Kumar's film Manoj Kumar's real name was Harikrishna Giri Goswami, however, when he started getting work in films, he changed his name. In his childhood, he had seen Dilip Kumar's film 'Shabnam', in which his character's name was Manoj Kumar. For films, he adopted the name Manoj Kumar. He was credited with this name in every film.
 After doing small roles, Manoj Kumar was given the lead role in the film Kaanch Ki Gudiya (1960) due to his talent. He went on to do more films like Reshmi Rumal, Chand, Banarasi Thug, Grihasti, Apne Hue Paraye, Woh Kaun Thi, but he gained real recognition with the 1962 film Hariyali Aur Rasta. Further, Shaadi (1962), Grihasti (1963), Phoolon Ki Sej (1964) included him among the top actors, after which Manoj Kumar became a star with the blockbuster film Woh Kaun Thi (1964). The songs of this film, 'Lag Ja Gale' and 'Naina Barse Rimjhim', are still very famous today. After becoming a star, Manoj Kumar got to work with Dilip Kumar in the 1968 film Aadmi. Anecdote - 6 Film made at the behest of Lal Bahadur Shastri Manoj Kumar worked in the 1965 film Shaheed, which was based on Bhagat Singh. The film was a big hit and its songs 'Ae Watan, Ae Watan Humko Teri Kasam', 'Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna' and 'O Mera Rang De Basanti Chola' were much loved. This film was so much liked by the then Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri that he advised Manoj Kumar to make a film on the slogan 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan'. Following the advice, Manoj Kumar started making the film Upkar (1967) and also decided to direct it. One day, Manoj Kumar bought a ticket for the Rajdhani train to go from Mumbai to Delhi and boarded the train. Sitting in the train, he wrote half the film, and the other half on his way back. When Manoj Kumar announced that he was going to step into direction with the film Upkar, Raj Kapoor advised him in sharp words, either act or direct, because not everyone is Raj Kapoor, who can do everything at once. Upkar, released in 1967, was the biggest film of that year. The film's song 'Mere Desh Ki Dharti Sona Ugle..' is still considered one of the best patriotic songs. Manoj Kumar's character in the film was named Bharat. Seeing the popularity of the film's song, the media started calling Manoj Kumar 'Bharat', and then he came to be known as 'Bharat Kumar'. After the film became a hit, Raj Kapoor expressed regret over his earlier statement and told Manoj Kumar, “I used to think that I was my only competition, but now you have come to compete with me.” Although the film was made at the behest of Lal Bahadur Shastri, unfortunately, he could not see it. In 1966, Shastri ji embarked on a trip to Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He would have watched the film Upkar after returning, but he died in Tashkent on January 11, 1966, the day after signing the peace treaty for the Indo-Pakistan War. The film was released on August 11, 1967, one year after his death. Manoj Kumar regretted for the rest of his life not being able to show the film to Lal Bahadur Shastri. Story - 7 Opposed the Emergency, films were banned Manoj Kumar had good relations with the then Prime Minister Sonia Gandhi, but when the Emergency was declared, Manoj Kumar strongly opposed it. Films of many stars who protested were banned, including Manoj Kumar's films. His film 'Dus Numbri' was banned by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, and the film 'Shor' was shown on Doordarshan 2 weeks before its theatrical release. When the film was released in theaters, it flopped. Anecdote - 8 Refused to make a film on the Emergency, told Amrita Pritam - "Have you been bought?" A few days later, Manoj Kumar received a call from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, asking if he would direct a documentary being made on the Emergency. Manoj flatly refused. When he learned that the documentary was being written by the famous writer Amrita Pritam, he immediately called Amrita Pritam and asked if she had sold out. Hearing Manoj's words, Amrita Pritam also became sad. He further told Amrita that she should tear up the script of this documentary.
 Anecdote - 9 Dilip Kumar faced an obstacle during the shooting of Kranti, so the shooting was stopped. After Upkar, Manoj Kumar made several superhit films like Purab Aur Paschim, Shor, Roti Kapda Aur Makaan. When Manoj Kumar made Kranti (1981), he cast Dilip Kumar in it. The same Dilip Kumar, who was his inspiration for entering films. This was a time when Dilip Kumar had not done any film for 4 years, yet he agreed. It was a mega-budget film.
 For a scene in the film, Dilip Kumar was to be presented in the royal court wearing iron chains. There were repeated takes, but Dilip Kumar couldn't give the right shot in the heavy chains. At one point, Dilip Sahab got frustrated and told director Manoj Kumar, "You have made me wear these chain-like jewels; their weight is coming on my body. First, get them lightened. The era when we used to act with 15 kg weight is gone." Hearing this, Manoj Kumar immediately stopped the shooting. He had rubber chains made and painted them in such a way that they looked real. Dilip Sahab then shot with those light chains. Anecdote 10 The film Kranti, after which clothes started selling It became the biggest hit of that year and also India's highest-grossing film after Sholay. It ran for more than 25 weeks in 26 centers across the country. The film also celebrated its silver jubilee in Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh) and Junagadh (Gujarat), where no film usually lasted.
 This film ran in cinemas for about one and a half years and was housefull for 96 days. The craze for the film was such that T-shirts, shirts, jackets, and even undergarments with the film's poster started selling in Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana.  Despite his sister's death, Pran arrived on Manoj Kumar's set the next day. In the 1966 film 'Do Badan', Manoj Kumar worked with Pran for the first time, and they became friends. Pran, the famous villain of films, always got negative roles. To change his image, Manoj Kumar gave him a positive role in his film 'Aah'. This film flopped, and people disliked Pran. But Manoj Kumar did not give up then either. At the same time, Manoj was working on the film 'Upkar'. He decided to give him the positive role of Malang Baba in this film. In this regard, they met. Manoj Kumar - Will you play the role of Malang Baba in my film? Pran replied - Pandit ji, bring the script, let me read it. He used to call Manoj Kumar 'Pandit ji'. After reading the script, he said, "Pandit, both the film's script and the character of Malang are very beautiful, but think about it once, because my image is that of a fierce, drunkard, gambler, and rapist. Will the audience be able to accept me in the role of a holy man?" Manoj Kumar, firm in his resolve, gave him that role and started shooting. Pran Sahab was extremely punctual. One day when he arrived on set, Manoj Kumar felt that he was ill. He went closer and asked - "Are you feeling alright?" The reply was - "Yes, I am perfectly fine." That day, both of them shot action scenes. When the pack-up happened, Manoj again noticed that Pran Sahab didn't look quite right. He immediately went to the makeup room and said - "You are hiding something. You don't look well to me today. If there's something, please tell me." In response, Pran Sahab said - "No, nothing, actually, my elder sister suddenly passed away last evening. Because of that, I couldn't sleep all night." Hearing this, Manoj Kumar was stunned that even after losing his beloved elder sister, he reached the set. Manoj then said- If there was something like that, why didn't you call and tell me, I would have canceled today's shoot. The reply was- I absolutely did not want your film's schedule to be disrupted because of me. Anyway, you have gathered so many artists together with great difficulty. The film should not suffer any kind of loss because of me. After this, their friendship deepened with every film. When Manoj Kumar heard the news of Pran Sahab's demise on July 12, 2013, he went into shock. He locked himself in a room and stopped talking. For many days, Manoj Kumar neither met anyone nor spoke anything. Anecdote- 12 Filed a defamation case of 100 crores against Shah Rukh Khan In a scene from the 2007 film Om Shanti Om, Shah Rukh Khan mimicked Manoj Kumar. While mimicking Manoj Kumar, he also did his signature pose, in which he would bring his hands in front of his face. Seeing himself being made fun of in the film, Manoj Kumar became so angry that he filed a defamation suit of 100 crore rupees against Shah Rukh Khan and Eros. Seeing the matter escalate, Shah Rukh Khan apologized to Manoj Kumar via email. Manoj Kumar forgave Shah Rukh, and the court also ordered the filmmakers to remove that scene from the film. Even when the film was released in Japan after India, that scene was not removed. Angered by this, Manoj had said, "I will never forgive Shah Rukh, he has insulted me and the court's order." However, with time, this matter has ended. Let it be known that this matter was settled out of court.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Shabana Azmi, who has long been known for taking a stand for social causes, is in the headlines for supporting the ongoing student protest in Delhi. She was seen joining students at Jantar Mantar, ending their hunger strike, and later addressing the gathering from a truck. Even after suffering an asthma attack during the protest, Shabana returned to stand with the students, reinforcing her decades-long commitment to social activism. But long before she became one of India's most respected actors and activists, Shabana's own life was marked by emotional struggles, rejection, and resilience. Let's get into the flashback story of Shabana in our weekly segment “Flashback Friday.” Born into a family of artists Shabana Azmi was born on 18 September 1950 in Hyderabad to renowned Urdu poet Kaifi Azmi and theatre actor Shaukat Azmi. Growing up in a household deeply rooted in literature, theatre, and progressive thought, she was exposed to art from an early age. Despite growing up in an artistic environment, Shabana's childhood was far from easy. At age 9, her family lived in a commune called the "Red Flag Hall" in Mumbai. Eight families shared a single bathroom and toilet. Tried ending her life twice over insecurities in childhood According to Shaukat Azmi's autobiography Kaifi  I: A Memoir, Shabana struggled deeply with feelings of neglect as a child and even attempted ending her life twice. At the age of nine, she believed her mother loved her younger brother Baba more. Hurt by an incident involving her brother, she consumed copper sulphate from her school laboratory. Fortunately, one of her classmates informed her mother in time. The other time, after being scolded by her mother for rude behaviour and told to leave the house, Shabana ran to Grant Road railway station and attempted to jump in front of a train. A school watchman intervened and saved her. Sold coffee outside petrol station for being independent Shabana developed a strong sense of independence early in life. She rarely asked her parents for extra money. Instead, she would save a few rupees from her daily bus fare whenever she wanted to buy snacks. After completing Senior Cambridge in first division, she spent three months working at a petrol station selling coffee before joining college. She earned ₹30 a day and quietly handed all her savings to her mother. Enrolled in FTII Pune, learnt acting; debuted with filmmaker Shyam Benegal's film Acting was not simply handed to her because of her family background. She trained seriously at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune, where filmmaker Shyam Benegal became one of her biggest mentors. After graduating from FTII, Shabana was introduced to filmmaker Shyam Benegal, who cast her in Ankur in 1974. The film transformed her career overnight and established her as one of the strongest faces of India's parallel cinema movement. Over the next five decades, she delivered memorable performances in films such as- Only Bollywood actress to have 5 National Awards Few actors in Indian cinema have matched Shabana Azmi's consistency. She hold a record of achieving the National Film Award for Best Actress five times, making her one of the most renowned actresses in Indian cinema. Her performances have also earned her several Filmfare Awards and numerous international honours, cementing her reputation as one of India's finest performers. Was in love with filmmaker Shekhar Kapur before Javed Akhtar Before marrying Javed Akhtar, Shabana was reportedly in a long-term relationship with filmmaker Shekhar Kapur. Although the relationship eventually ended, the two remained on cordial terms and continued to work professionally. Had childhood crush on actor Shashi Kapoor In a 2004 interview, Shabana Azmi admitted that she had a crush on Shashi Kapoor. She recalled that Shashi and his wife Jennifer were close family friends, while Prithviraj Kapoor lived next door to her parents. Every Sunday, when Shashi visited her father, she would buy a photograph just to collect his autograph. When she was cast opposite him in Fakira (1976), she felt nervous because he was already a huge star. Shabana added that Shashi and Jennifer made her feel beautiful and confident. Fell in love with Javed Akhtar's wit and intellect Javed Akhtar first became close to Shabana's family through her father, Kaifi Azmi, whom he frequently visited for guidance on poetry. Over time, Shabana was drawn to Javed's wit, intellect, and personality. Their relationship, however, was complicated because Javed was already married to screenwriter Honey Irani, with whom he had two children including Zoya Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar. Both Shabana and Javed reportedly tried to distance themselves several times because of the circumstances. Eventually, Javed divorced Honey Irani, and he married Shabana Azmi on 9 December 1984. Why Shabana never had children? Shabana has spoken openly about not having biological children and has never treated the subject with regret or secrecy. In an earlier interview, she admitted that accepting infertility was emotionally difficult because society often makes women feel incomplete if they cannot become mothers. She said that a woman's identity should come from her work rather than patriarchal expectations of motherhood. During an appearance on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Shabana also revealed why she never chose to adopt a child. She explained that her close relationship with Farhan and Zoya Akhtar naturally fulfilled that emotional space in her life. Rather than raising young children, she enjoyed interacting with them as they grew older, sharing ideas, conversations, and watching them develop into creative individuals. More than just an actor, have stand for social causes Across five decades, Shabana Azmi has built a legacy that extends far beyond cinema. Whether through her award-winning performances or her consistent involvement in social causes, she has remained one of the country's most respected public figures. Shabana has always stood at the forefront of social causes. From campaigning for women's rights, communal harmony, slum rehabilitation and HIV AIDS awareness to speaking up for freedom of expression, she has never hesitated to raise her voice. Even today, as she continues to stand with people she believes deserve support, Shabana Azmi remains as fearless off-screen as she has always been on it.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Jodhpur Rail Services Face Major Disruption as Waterlogging Hits Western Railway Section</h2>
<p>Jodhpur, India – Commuters connected to the Jodhpur Division are facing significant travel disruptions as heavy waterlogging on the Western Railway's Gholvad-Umargam Road section has impacted six key train services. Authorities have partially cancelled or diverted trains to ensure passenger safety.</p>
<p>Jodhpur Divisional Railway Manager Anurag Tripathi confirmed the situation, stating that water levels at Bridge No. 203, located between Gholvad and Umargam Road stations, have reached a critical mark. This necessitated immediate action to alter train operations along the affected route.</p>
<h2>Partial Cancellations Affecting Key Routes</h2>
<p>Several popular services have been partially cancelled, impacting travel plans for many. The 14707 Hanumangarh-Dadar Ranakpur Express, which departed from Hanumangarh on July 22nd, operated only up to Navsari. Consequently, this train is partially cancelled between Navsari and Dadar.</p>
<p>In its return journey, the 14708 Dadar-Hanumangarh Ranakpur Express will commence its service from Navsari on July 23rd, rather than Dadar. This means the service stands partially cancelled between Dadar and Navsari.</p>
<p>Similarly, the 12479 Jodhpur-Bandra Terminus Suryanagari Superfast Express, which left Jodhpur on July 22nd, was terminated at Nadiad. The service remains partially cancelled between Nadiad and Bandra Terminus.</p>
<p>For passengers planning to take the 12480 Bandra Terminus-Jodhpur Suryanagari Superfast Express on July 23rd, it will now depart from Nadiad instead of Bandra Terminus. This leg of the journey between Bandra Terminus and Nadiad is also partially cancelled.</p>
<h2>Routes Diverted for Other Services</h2>
<p>Beyond cancellations, two significant train services have been rerouted to navigate the waterlogged section.</p>
<ul>
<li>The 20693 Jodhpur-Bengaluru Express, scheduled to depart from Jodhpur on July 23rd, will now run via a diverted route through Surat, Udhna, Paldhi, and Jalgaon.</li>
<li>The 22475 Hisar-Coimbatore Express, which commenced its journey from Hisar on July 22nd, is currently operating via Surat, Jalgaon, Igatpuri, Panvel, and Roha.</li>
</ul>
<p>Railway authorities urge all passengers to check the latest status of their trains before commencing their journey to avoid inconvenience.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Bahrod-Alwar Road Grinds to Halt: PWD Under Fire Over Botched Bridge Repair</h2>
<p>Commuters on the critical Bahrod-Alwar road are once again caught in severe traffic snarls, raising serious questions about the Public Works Department (PWD)'s handling of bridge repairs over the Sahabi River. The ongoing work, coupled with a glaring lack of alternative arrangements and administrative oversight, has left thousands grappling with immense inconvenience.</p>
<p>The situation escalated late Wednesday night when a truck laden with poles became deeply embedded in the river's mud, bringing traffic to a complete standstill. This incident triggered massive queues of heavy vehicles stretching for miles in both directions, severely impacting bus services and stranding passengers for hours, unable to reach their destinations.</p>
<h2>Commuters Face Daily Nightmare</h2>
<p>The Bahrod-Alwar route serves as a crucial artery for the region, seeing thousands of vehicles traverse it daily. While the repair work on the Sahabi River bridge is necessary, the PWD's failure to implement adequate traffic management has turned daily commutes into a nightmare. Wednesday's truck incident, which saw the vehicle overturn while attempting to navigate the riverbed, quickly led to a complete blockade.</p>
<p>The ripple effect was immediate, with a long line of trucks, buses, and other heavy vehicles forming rapidly. Public transport, including state-run and private buses, bore the brunt of the disruption. Many buses found themselves stuck mid-route, forcing passengers to endure agonizing waits. Students heading to schools and colleges, office-goers, and other travelers were significantly delayed, with some resorting to walking long distances or seeking out alternative, often circuitous, routes.</p>
<h2>Public Outcry Over Repeated Lapses</h2>
<p>This isn't the first time commuters have faced such a predicament. Manoj Kumar, a regular traveler, pointed out that the road was closed for bridge repairs just two months ago, causing similar widespread problems. "Even now, with repair work restarted, there's no solid traffic plan or effective alternative route in place," Kumar lamented. Locals accuse the department of merely going through the motions, completely disregarding public convenience.</p>
<p>The traffic remained paralyzed for several hours after the truck got stuck. Residents argue that a timely intervention by police and administration to manage traffic could have prevented such a massive bottleneck. Frustration is palpable among those stuck in the jam, with many expressing anger towards both the administration and the PWD.</p>
<p>Vehicle operator Shyam Sundar Singh highlighted the Bahrod-Alwar road's vital role for industrial and commercial activities. "A large number of goods vehicles use this route daily. Constant jams are not only disrupting trade but also causing significant time and financial losses for drivers," Singh stated, underscoring the economic impact of the persistent issues.</p>
<h3>Frequently Asked Questions</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>What caused the recent traffic jam on Bahrod-Alwar road?</strong></p>
<p>A truck carrying poles got stuck in the mud while crossing the Sahabi River on Wednesday night, completely blocking the road during ongoing bridge repair work.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Why are commuters facing such severe issues?</strong></p>
<p>The Public Works Department (PWD) is being criticized for a lack of proper traffic management plans and alternative route arrangements during the bridge repair, leading to widespread inconvenience and delays.</p>

<h2>Jaipur Police Unravel Uber Driver Murder Case in Record Time</h2>
<p>Jaipur, the capital city, witnessed a swift police action as authorities in the Harmada police station area cracked the case of an Uber driver's murder within 24 hours. The victim, identified as Lakhpat Singh from Dholpur, was found dead near Chetan Dungri in a secluded forest area. Two individuals who booked a ride with him are now in police custody, accused of murder and carjacking.</p>
<p>Investigators quickly identified the deceased and, through technical analysis, tracked down and arrested the two suspects. Preliminary questioning revealed their motive: to steal the car to settle debts and raise funds for opening a cafe. A notable aspect of the investigation was the police's innovative use of Artificial Intelligence to identify the victim.</p>
<h2>AI Tool Crucial in Identifying Victim</h2>
<p>Jaipur (West) DCP Prashant Kiran shared details of the investigation, stating that on July 22, a young man's body was discovered in a desolate jungle near Chetan Dungri in the Harmada area. No identification was found at the scene, and the body, being a day old, made identification challenging.</p>
<p>Police utilized an AI tool to generate a clearer photograph of the deceased, which was then circulated on social media. This led to the identification of the victim as Lakhpat Singh, a resident of Kilolpura village in Dholpur, who resided in Kishanbagh, Vidhyadhar Nagar, Jaipur, and worked as an Uber cab driver.</p>
<h2>Suspects Apprehended, Confess to Crime</h2>
<p>Leveraging details from Uber's ride booking data, police detained Sudhanshu Jangid, a resident of Murlipura (Jaipur), and Sonu Bairwa, originally from Bandikui and currently residing in Murlipura (Jaipur). Both suspects have confessed to committing the murder and carjacking.</p>
<p>Police are now working to recover the weapons and other items used in the crime. Both accused have been taken into remand for further interrogation.</p>
<h2>The Horrific Details of the Attack</h2>
<p>Officials revealed that Sudhanshu Jangid had completed his first year of graduation, while Sonu Bairwa had studied up to the tenth standard. The duo booked Lakhpat Singh's car from near VKI Sector 14 and directed him towards Rajawas Toll. Under the pretext of picking up a friend for alcohol, they had the driver stop in a secluded area.</p>
<p>There, one of the accused strangled Lakhpat Singh from behind with a rope, while the other attacked him with a sharp weapon (gupti), killing him instantly. They then dumped his body in the jungle before fleeing with the car.</p>
<h2>Pre-Planned Plot for Debt and Cafe Dream</h2>
<p>During interrogation, the accused admitted to meticulously planning the carjacking for several days, motivated by their desire to clear debts and accumulate capital for a cafe. Police found multiple videos on their mobile phones, suggesting they had researched methods to carry out the murder.</p>
<p>The rope used in the crime was reportedly ordered via an online app, and the sharp weapon was purchased from Vidhyadhar Nagar. They had also acquired chili powder and other items to execute their plan. After the crime, they headed towards Dausa and had already sent photos of the stolen car to potential buyers.</p>

<p>Ajmer police have successfully apprehended an individual from Gujarat in connection with the bomb threats that rattled the city's key government establishments on July 19. What initially appeared to be a serious security concern has now been unraveled as a bizarre plot driven by personal enmity.</p>
<p>The accused, identified as Faldu Hardik Patel, was picked up from Prabhas Patan in Gujarat's Gir Somnath district. Interestingly, investigators have clarified that Patel is not associated with any terrorist organization or organized crime syndicate. Instead, his motive was to settle a score with an acquaintance, Haroon Gohil, by framing him in the bomb scare.</p>
<h2>The Threat and Initial Response</h2>
<p>On July 19, an email warning of explosives targeting Ajmer's new Court Building, Collectorate Office, and Circuit House sent local authorities into a frenzy. The email explicitly named Haroon Gohil as the sender, triggering immediate alerts.</p>
<p>Ajmer Superintendent of Police Harshvardhan Agrawal confirmed that security agencies swiftly launched extensive searches across all threatened locations. Thankfully, no suspicious items were found, averting any potential danger.</p>
<h2>Unraveling the Conspiracy</h2>
<p>Following a complaint lodged by the Session Court's first clerk at the Civil Line police station, an in-depth investigation commenced. Utilizing technical surveillance, police zeroed in on Faldu Hardik Patel, a resident of Umiya Kripa Bhawan in Beneshwar Samiti, Prabhas Patan.</p>
<p>During preliminary questioning, Patel admitted to sending the threatening emails. SP Agrawal stated that Patel's primary goal was to entangle Haroon Gohil in a legal mess, stemming from a deep-seated animosity between the two.</p>
<h2>The Roots of the Vendetta</h2>
<p>The investigation revealed that Faldu Hardik Patel owned a hotel in Somnath, which he had rented out to Haroon Gohil. A few months ago, Gohil vacated Patel's hotel and moved to another property. This move apparently fueled a bitter grudge in Patel, culminating in his elaborate plan for revenge.</p>
<p>To execute his scheme, Patel reportedly used Google to search for Ajmer, identifying three prominent government buildings. He then obtained their email addresses and sent the bomb threat emails, meticulously using Haroon Gohil's name to implicate him.</p>
<h2>Current Status of Investigation</h2>
<p>Police have successfully recovered the incriminating email from the accused. Patel has been arrested and brought to the Ajmer Civil Line police station, where he is currently undergoing questioning under remand to ascertain if he sent similar threats elsewhere.</p>
<p>SP Agrawal also clarified that Haroon Gohil has absolutely no connection to the threats or Ajmer. He emphasized that Patel has no prior criminal record and is reportedly undergoing treatment for mental health issues. While Ajmer has received bomb threats to government offices and the Dargah in the past, Patel is not linked to any of those incidents. So far, no other accomplices have been identified in the current case.</p>
<h2>FAQ</h2>
<h2>What was the motive behind the Ajmer bomb threat?</h2>
<p>The motive behind the bomb threat was a personal vendetta by the accused, Faldu Hardik Patel, against an acquaintance named Haroon Gohil, whom he wanted to frame due to a past dispute over a hotel rental.</p>
<h2>Has Haroon Gohil been linked to any terrorist organization?</h2>
<p>No, police have confirmed that Haroon Gohil has no involvement in the bomb threat or any connection to terrorist organizations. He was merely a victim of the accused's attempt to frame him.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actor Rajkummar Rao has come under controversy regarding the political promotional song 'Modi Hai Toh Mumkin Hai' released in 2025. Rajkummar had written a social media post in support of students protesting against the NEET paper leak in Delhi. Following this, users started reminding him of the old song and began trolling him. Responding to a user's comment, Rajkummar wrote that he couldn't even imagine their pressure. However, he later deleted this comment. Now, screenshots of this comment are going viral on social media. Trolled for speaking late, then responded
Rajkummar Rao posted late in support of the protest against the NEET paper leak. After this post, people started trolling him for speaking late and for working in the political song 'Modi Hai Toh Mumkin Hai'. One user commented, "I had a lot of respect for you, but it all ended because of a propaganda song. I never missed any of your films, never thought you would sell out so easily." To this, Rajkummar Rao replied, "Brother, I can never sell my soul. A song does not define who I am, what I support, or what my ideology in life is. You cannot know about the pressure. I always stand with what is right and things that connect humanity. As long as my conscience is clear and I am working hard, nothing else matters." Controversy escalated after he deleted the comment
Rajkummar later deleted this reply from Instagram, but by then its screenshots had spread across social media. Many users called it 'The biggest confession of the year'. Meanwhile, some people called the actor opportunistic. One user wrote on X, "Pressure is not an excuse to hide your lack of backbone." Another user commented, "This is not courage, but opportunism. These people only say such things when the atmosphere seems to change." Controversy sparked by a post supporting students
Rajkummar Rao had spoken out on Instagram in favor of the students protesting at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. The students are demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and educational reforms in the NEET paper leak case.  The 41-year-old actor had written, When the youth feel uncomfortable, it's a message for society that their voices should be heard. Every voice should be treated with respect, fairness, and dignity. Peace should be our greatest strength. Violence, from any side, only deepens wounds. This is a time for dialogue and empathy. The song was released in 2025, produced by T-Series
The song around which this controversy is ongoing is titled 'Modi Hai Toh Mumkin Hai'. This song, produced by T-Series, was released in the year 2025. This 2-minute 55-second long song has been sung by Meet Bros. Besides Rajkummar Rao, artists like Varun Dhawan, Vikrant Massey, and Arshad Warsi also appeared in the song. This song is still available on YouTube.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Many eminent Bollywood celebrities are continuously supporting the students protesting at Jantar Mantar. On the other hand, there are some stars who are giving statements against the students, while some are hesitant to even talk about this issue. Recently, singer Sonu Nigam, who arrived at an event, was questioned about the protest, to which he got angry. Meanwhile, Rupali Ganguly has raised questions about the protest turning violent. Sonu Nigam attended an event on Tuesday. At this time, a reporter asked about the ongoing protest in the country - "The situation going on in the country, the student protest is going on." Meanwhile, Sonu Nigam got annoyed, laughing, and immediately cut off the question, saying - "What have I come here for?" Further, he silenced them, saying - "Enough, enough." When the reporter still didn't calm down, the singer said- 'It's done now, it's done.' After the video went viral, Sonu Nigam has come under fire from trolls. Many fans have commented on the video saying that they are canceling their concert tickets. Rupali Ganguly said- Those who attack the police cannot be called students Anupama actress Rupali Ganguly has questioned the protest. She wrote, 'Those who take the law into their own hands, damage public property and attack the police, cannot be called students. Such acts only weaken any legitimate movement.' Rupali, associated with BJP, called the students' demands legitimate, but also said that the protest should not be violent. She wrote, 'Unfortunately, when a peaceful protest turns violent, the students' real concerns are left behind. If anti-national or politically motivated elements use student movements for their agenda, then the biggest loss is for those students who are demanding justice.' 'India stands with its students. India stands with its citizens. This fight should be for transparency, accountability and better reforms, not for violence and vandalism.' Shashi Tharoor took a dig at Big B's silence again Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has taken a dig at Amitabh Bachchan by sharing a 14-year-old post related to a protest. In the re-shared post, Amitabh Bachchan had protested against the use of tear gas in connection with the Delhi gangrape protest, whereas he has remained silent despite violence in the current protest. Vivek Oberoi also dodged a question related to the protest A while ago, when Vivek Oberoi was asked about Sonam Wangchuk and his fast, the actor, instead of giving his opinion on the matter, said, 'I am an actor, not a leader, I don't pay much attention to political things.' After Vivek's statement came out, many people are heavily criticizing him.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Kriti, remained, unemployed, for, months, even, after, hit:Lost, big, films, star, kids, the, role, that, was, criticised, won, her, National, Award</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[After my first ramp show, I sat in an auto and cried the whole way... Even after my first photoshoot, I went home and cried. Even after a hit film, I didn't get work for 15 months. Many times it happened that the film I auditioned for eventually went to a star kid. For many months, no auditions came. I used to call my mother ten times a day and cry. Today, Kriti Sanon is counted among Bollywood's successful actresses. She has a National Award, several superhit films, and her own production house to her name. But the path to reaching this position has been paved with rejections, loneliness, taunts, and a battle of self-confidence. This is the story of a girl who never dreamt of acting, but once she chose the path, she never looked back. In today's success story, some special facts related to Kriti Sanon's career and personal life. Delhi's Engineering Student, Who Traveled to Bollywood on the Strength of Her Dreams Kriti Sanon was born on July 27, 1990, in New Delhi. Her father, Rahul Sanon, is a Chartered Accountant, while her mother, Geeta Sanon, has been an Associate Professor at Delhi University. Her younger sister, Nupur Sanon, is also active in the world of acting and singing. Kriti completed her early education at Delhi Public School (DPS), R.K. Puram. After this, she obtained a B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from JP Institute of Information Technology, Noida. 'I was good in studies, never thought of coming into films' Kriti Sanon had revealed in an interview with Bollywood Bubble that during her childhood, her entire focus was on studies. She was good at studies, but also very shy. She says, "I was even afraid to go on stage. I liked dancing, but I never participated in acting, theatre, or drama. I never even thought about coming into films." After school, she started studying engineering. Life was moving on a predetermined path. No one had any idea that this very girl would go on to become a big Bollywood star. A piece of advice during B.Tech changed her life One day during engineering, someone said to Kriti, "You have good height, why don't you try modeling?" Her first reaction was - "No... I can't do this." But then she thought that there's no harm in trying. If nothing happened, at least her confidence would increase. This decision became a major turning point in her life. Sister took pictures... and destiny opened a new door Kriti did not have a professional portfolio. Her younger sister Nupur took some pictures at home. Today, Kriti herself laughs looking at those pictures. She says, "Even today, when I see those pictures, I laugh at how strange they were." She sent those same pictures to a Fresh Face Contest running on a website. The prize was a free portfolio shoot with famous photographer Dabboo Ratnani. Kriti only knew that a photoshoot with Dabboo Ratnani was expensive. She knew nothing about the world of fashion and modeling. Luck was on her side... she won the contest. This is where she got her first modeling contract and the path to films opened up. First photoshoot... and she cried inconsolably after going home It's not easy for a new person to stand in front of the camera. It wasn't for Kriti either. She didn't know how to look at the camera, where to place her hands, or how to give expressions. During the shoot, the photographer smiled and just said, "This is your first photoshoot, isn't it?" The comment was normal, but Kriti felt that perhaps she was doing a bad job. The shoot ended... she went straight home and cried. Even today, Kriti believes that if she feels she hasn't given 100 percent, it bothers her for a long time. Scolded in front of everyone at the first ramp show... kept crying while sitting in an auto If the photoshoot was difficult, the first ramp show proved even tougher. Due to nervousness, she made a mistake in the choreography on the ramp. When the show ended, the choreographer scolded her in front of about 50 models. Kriti didn't say anything. She quietly walked out... sat in an auto... and cried the entire way. Even after reaching home, her tears didn't stop for a long time. Her mother explained to her, "I don't think this world is made for you. If you want to survive here, you will have to become very strong. If you break down hearing people's words, you won't be able to move forward." Perhaps that was the day Kriti decided that crying stops now... learning begins. Never learned to give up Kriti believes that this habit has always been within her. If she falls, she gets up again and tries. She says, "I don't give up easily. Perhaps that's why every time I fell, I gave myself another chance. Slowly, my confidence grew." This determination would later turn her from a model into an actress and then a National Award-winning artist. Started living alone in Mumbai, also prepared for GMAT... Family said - first fulfill your dream After the scolding from her first ramp show and initial failures, Kriti Sanon did not give up. Modeling was progressing, but the path to films was still blurry. Meanwhile, she decided to come to Mumbai. It wasn't easy, as she had never been away from home. 'I had never stayed in a hostel' Kriti shares, "I had always lived with my family. There were all amenities at home. I had learned to drive a car by college, but I never had to live alone." The first five-six months after coming to Mumbai were easy, as her father was also posted in Mumbai at that time. But after that... Dad went back, and for the first time, Kriti was completely alone. Rented house... house help... food... she managed all responsibilities herself Life had changed. Taking a rented house, managing expenses, getting food cooked, arranging for house help... every small and big responsibility was on her shoulders. Along with this, she was auditioning for films. During this time, she was also preparing for GMAT. Her family had also prepared a Plan B for her. If acting didn't work out, she could pursue further studies and build another career. But Kriti now had only one dream in her mind. Knew nothing about the film industry Upon reaching Mumbai, the most unfamiliar world troubled her. Kriti says, "I didn't understand where to start. Whom to meet, which production house to go to, which film to do and which not to. I knew nothing." She was not from a film family. For her, Bollywood was just the glamour on screen. The world behind the screen was completely new. 'I was only a fan of Shah Rukh, Madhuri and Hrithik' Kriti says that she loved films. She was a big fan of Madhuri Dixit, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan. But she believes that being a fan and understanding the industry are different things. She also didn't know how to build a career, whom to meet, and who would give the right advice. Agency Became the Biggest Strength Kriti believes that in her early days, her modeling agency supported her a lot. They explained to her when to audition, when to wait for a role, and when to decline a film. For a new artist, the right advice is a great strength. Kriti had found this support. Mother Said - 'Don't Stop Your Dreams' Behind Kriti's success, her parents' trust has been the biggest strength. She says that her mother wanted to do many things in her life. Learning to sing... learning to swim... and many other dreams... but she didn't get that much freedom. Perhaps this was the reason she always told her daughter, "Whatever you want to do, do it now. Never stop dreaming. Otherwise, later there will only be regret." This thought settled in Kriti's heart. If it weren't for Dad's trust, she probably would never have been able to make this decision. Kriti believes that if she didn't have her family's support, she probably would never have gathered the courage to enter films. She says, "If Dad's trust wasn't with me at that time, I probably would never have been able to make such a big decision." Not every struggling artist gets such a family. Kriti believes this was her greatest strength. Friend said - if you go into films, you won't get married On the path of dreams, it wasn't just struggle that came... people's mindsets also came forward. Kriti recounts that one of her friends told her, "If you go into modeling or films, you will have difficulty getting married later." Hearing this, she was surprised. She felt that people of her own generation still held such old-fashioned views. But she didn't pay attention to anyone's words. For her, at that time, marriage was not...her dream was more important. One thing changed her life Kriti says, "I always felt that if I didn't even try, I would spend my whole life thinking that maybe I could have done it." This thought kept pushing her forward after every difficulty. She couldn't see the destination...but she had faith that if she kept walking, she would surely find the way. Star kids took the films, didn't get a single audition for months When Kriti Sanon came to Mumbai, she thought that she would work hard and gradually find her way. But she soon realized that in Bollywood, talent alone is not enough, especially when you don't have a film background. Every day began with hope... and many days ended with disappointment. Kriti says that she auditioned for many films. The film was looking for a new face. She was called... she prepared... she auditioned... hope was kindled... but in the end, the role went to a star kid or an established artist. Kriti says, "At that time, the question that came to my mind was, if they weren't going to cast me, then why did they conduct the audition?" Every time hope was shattered, but the next morning, preparations for a new audition would begin again. Months would pass, no auditions would come More difficult than rejection was... waiting. Many months would pass when no audition would come. The phone wouldn't ring. No calls... no meetings... no hope... This is the toughest phase for a new artist. Kriti says that at that time it felt as if life had stopped, because no one in the industry even knew her. 'I used to call my mother 10 times a day' Loneliness gradually turned into mental pressure. The worry about the future... the fear of not getting work... and the pain of being away from family amidst all this, her biggest strength was her mother. Kriti gets emotional remembering that period. She says, "I used to call my mother ten times a day. Many times I would just cry. I didn't understand what would happen next." Every time her mother would tell her the same thing - "Have patience... keep working hard... the right time will surely come." This belief kept her from breaking down. Being an outsider was the biggest challenge Kriti believes that not being from a film family is a struggle in itself. She says, "Today, when a star kid's first film comes out, people already know them. There's discussion in the media. But when a completely new boy or girl comes, people don't even know when their film was released." This was why she had to prove herself again and again for every film, every audition, and every role. 'Models can't act' The struggle wasn't just about getting roles. People had already formed opinions about her. Many believed that models are only good-looking, they cannot act. Kriti was often considered just a 'beautiful face'. She felt that people were only looking at her appearance, not her hard work. People didn't even trust 'Bareilly Ki Barfi' When she received the offer for Ashwini Iyer Tiwari's film 'Bareilly Ki Barfi', many people still raised questions. People said that Kriti would not be able to play the role of a simple girl from a small town. But Kriti did not pay attention to anyone. She understood the character, learned its language, and adopted its mannerisms. When the film was released, that very character became a major turning point in her career. As 'Bitti Mishra', Kriti proved that she is not just an actress who plays glamorous roles. In 'Panipat', it was said - she doesn't look like a Marathi girl Even after 'Bareilly Ki Barfi', the questions didn't end. During the film 'Panipat', people said - "Kriti doesn't look like a Marathi girl." Initially, Kriti herself had this fear. She wondered how she would look in this role. But as soon as she put on the costume, did her makeup, and started getting into character, all the fear disappeared. She realized that an artist's true identity is their acting, not just their face. Kriti's Biggest Lesson Constant rejections, criticism, and waiting taught her one thing - others' opinions cannot define your identity. She turned every 'no' into preparation for the next 'yes'. This mindset eventually led her to the biggest film of her career. People stopped her from doing 'Mimi', but the same film earned her a National Award After 'Bareilly Ki Barfi', Kriti Sanon had proved that she was not just an actress who played glamorous roles. Yet, she felt that the industry was not fully accepting her as an artist. She was waiting for roles that would truly test her acting skills. This wait ended with the film 'Mimi'. 'Don't play a mother's role so soon' When Kriti received the script for 'Mimi', many people advised her that playing the role of a mother at such a young age would not be the right decision. People believed that it would affect her glamorous image and could impact her career. But Kriti did what she had always done. She listened to the story, not the people. Kriti says, "For me, the story was the most important thing. I found the journey of that character very beautiful. If the story touches the heart, then other things don't matter. I never considered that decision a risk." Gained weight for the role, completely transformed herself 'Mimi' was not just a film. It was the biggest challenge of Kriti's career. To portray the character of a surrogate mother authentically on screen, she gained weight, changed her look, and spent months understanding the character's emotions. When the film was released, critics along with the audience highly praised her performance. The actress who was once called just a 'beautiful face' was now being lauded for her acting. National Award Changed Her Identity Kriti Sanon received the National Film Award (Best Actress) for 'Mimi'. This was not just an award. It was an answer to all the rejections, waiting, taunts, and struggles she had endured for years. The same girl who was once told that models cannot act... won the country's highest acting honor. Even today, she believes - rejections were necessary Today, when Kriti remembers her struggling days, she has no complaints against anyone. She believes that if she hadn't faced so many failures in the beginning, she probably wouldn't have become such a strong artist. In her words, "If I hadn't received so many rejections in the beginning, I probably wouldn't be the Kriti Sanon of today. Every rejection taught me something new and forced me to become better." Broke a new stereotype with every character A small-town girl in 'Bareilly Ki Barfi'... a historical character in 'Panipat'... a surrogate mother in 'Mimi'... a robot in 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya'... and an actress turned producer in 'Do Patti'... Kriti took a new risk every time. Perhaps this is why today she is not just considered a star, but a reliable actress. Read last week's success story...

<media:keywords>When, Sonam, Wangchuk, visited, KBC:Won, ₹50, lakh, and, donated, his, school, Amitabh, asked, Idiots, was, inspired, him</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sonam Wangchuk, who is currently hospitalised while continuing his indefinite hunger strike in support of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) movement, has once again made headlines. While he is widely known for his commendable work in education, did you know that he once won ₹50 lakh on Kaun Banega Crorepati and donated the entire prize money to his school? The episode became even more memorable when Amitabh Bachchan asked him whether Aamir Khan's iconic 3 Idiots character was based on him. Wangchuk's honest answer surprised everyone.
Sonam Wangchuk appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati in the ninth season. The engineer, education reformer and founder of the Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL) used the platform to highlight his work in education and sustainable development. Won ₹50 lakh prize money and donated it Wangchuk won ₹50 lakh and announced that the entire prize money would go towards strengthening his educational mission and developing the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, Ladakh (HIAL). He also spoke about his internationally recognised Ice Stupa Project, an artificial glacier that stores winter water for use during spring and summer, helping farmers in the region. When Amitabh asked Sonam if 3 Idiots was inspired by him; his answer may surprise you One of the biggest talking points from the episode was Amitabh Bachchan's question about Aamir Khan's character Phunsukh Wangdu in 3 Idiots. For years, many people had believed that the character was based on Sonam Wangchuk. Responding to Amitabh, Wangchuk gave a balanced answer that surprised many viewers. He said: Wangchuk on Bollywood films and what really matters He went on to explain why he never wanted people to judge his work through the lens of a Bollywood film. According to Wangchuk, whether the film was inspired by him or not was not the important issue. What mattered was the real work being done in education and innovation. He also remarked that he did not want people to accept an idea simply because it appeared in a popular film. If 3 Idiots had indeed drawn inspiration from his work, he was not especially proud of that fact; and if it had not, he had no regrets either. His focus, he said, had always been on creating real change rather than becoming associated with a fictional character. Real life contributions matter: Wangchuk The discussion around 3 Idiots has been done many time over the years. In recent interviews, Wangchuk has again clarified that he does not consider the film to be his biography. He has said that while certain ideas may have been inspired by his work, he prefers to be known for his real-life contributions rather than comparisons with a movie character. ‘Students should become job creators instead of job seekers’ Wangchuk's vision for education is different, which impressed everyone. He explained that students should become job creators instead of merely job seekers and emphasised the importance of practical learning over rote memorisation. During the episode, he also described how his school in Ladakh runs largely on solar energy and encourages students to manage many aspects of campus life themselves. 
 ‘3 Idiots’ was not based on Sonam Wangchuk': Aamir Khan
After Sonam Wangchuk came into spotlight after the CJP protest, everybody was linking him to ‘3 Idiots’. When Aamir Khan was asked about Sonam and the film during an interaction at the London Indian Film Festival, he expressed concern over Wangchuk's health and urged him to end his fast. Responding to a question from the audience, Aamir said, “I am concerned about Sonam Wangchuk's health. I hope he ends his fast soon. The film 3 Idiots was not based on Sonam Wangchuk. I didn't even know him when the film was being made.” Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike at Delhi's Jantar Mantar for the over 20 days, protesting against the NEET paper leak and alleged examination irregularities. According to his supporters, he has lost 8.9 kg since beginning the fast.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rahul Gandhi Attacks Modi Government on Education, Demands Pradhan's Resignation</h2>
<p>New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has sharply criticized the Modi government over the state of the education system, calling for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Addressing the media on Wednesday, Gandhi asserted that the education system has been handed over to corporations, expressing his full support for ongoing student protests.</p>
<p>"For the past few days, students across the country have been protesting, demanding reforms in the education system. The Congress party stands in complete solidarity with them," Gandhi stated. He pointed to alleged malpractices, claiming that jobs are being offered or exams manipulated for 'favoured' individuals for sums as high as 40 lakh rupees.</p>
<h2>Students' Plight and Systemic Failures</h2>
<p>Gandhi emphasized his agreement with the students' sentiments. "Every student feels and acts on what has happened, and we agree with them 100%. What occurred a few days ago must have consequences. It's not their fault," he remarked.</p>
<p>Dismissing concerns about his own treatment, Gandhi redirected focus to the students' predicament. "How I am treated means nothing to me. I don't care. Even if I am treated five times worse, it makes no difference. The real focus should be on what happened to the students, on the education system, paper leaks, and the price those children have had to pay. So, do whatever you want with me — five times, ten times — I don't care. In fact, I like it because I learn from it," he said, adding, "I don't care about the government's allegations; they have no effect on me."</p>
<p>Gandhi declared that India's education system, once among the world's best, is now "rigged" and requires urgent transformation. He outlined several key issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>The education system is in dire need of reform.</li>
<li>It impacts approximately 7.5 crore families across the nation.</li>
<li>There have been 152 paper leaks in the last 10 years, averaging more than one per month.</li>
<li>No individual has been punished in any of these cases to date.</li>
<li>The entire system has become unaffordable for many.</li>
<li>Students have suffered immense injustice.</li>
<li>The government collects taxes and then allocates a budget for education.</li>
<li>An estimated 1.32 lakh crore rupees are privately spent by families of students taking the NEET exam annually, nearly equivalent to the entire education budget of 1.40 lakh crore rupees, highlighting the scale of the alleged 'game'.</li>
</ul>
<p>"Dharmendra Pradhan is an incompetent Education Minister; he should resign. This is the students' demand, and we support it," Gandhi asserted. He also condemned the alleged use of pellet guns against students, demanding action against those responsible and an apology from the government to the student community.</p>
<h3>FAQ</h3>
<p><strong>Q1: Why is Rahul Gandhi demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation?</strong><br>A1: Rahul Gandhi is demanding Pradhan's resignation due to widespread student protests, allegations of paper leaks, and concerns that the education system has become 'rigged' and unaffordable, benefiting corporations over students.</p>
<p><strong>Q2: What specific issues did Rahul Gandhi highlight regarding the education system?</strong><br>A2: Gandhi highlighted 152 paper leaks in the last 10 years with no convictions, the system becoming unaffordable for 7.5 crore families, and the significant private expenditure by students' families on exams like NEET, which nearly matches the national education budget. He also mentioned alleged corruption in job placements and exam results.</p>

<media:keywords>Dairy, Climate Change, Milk Production, Haryana</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rising Temperatures Impact India's Dairy Sector</h2>
<p>New Delhi is witnessing a concerning trend as increasing temperatures and humidity begin to take a toll on India's vital dairy sector. A comprehensive 16-year study conducted by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) – National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) reveals a significant drop in milk production in Haryana, one of the nation's largest milk-producing states, directly linked to climate change.</p>
<p>The research points out that buffaloes and crossbred cattle are particularly susceptible to heat stress. In contrast, indigenous breeds like Sahiwal and Haryana cattle demonstrate much greater resilience to changing weather patterns.</p>
<h2>NDRI Study Unpacks the Data</h2>
<p>Published in 'Scientific Reports', the study meticulously analyzed animal and weather data from 19 districts across Haryana between 2004 and 2019, covering over 1,100 villages annually. Researchers correlated milk production records with various climatic indicators, including temperature, humidity, rainfall, Temperature-Humidity Index (THI), and Potential Evapotranspiration (PET).</p>
<p>PET, which measures the atmospheric demand for moisture, combines the effects of temperature, humidity, and solar radiation, offering a more holistic view of environmental stress.</p>
<h2>Heat and Humidity Take Their Toll</h2>
<p>The findings clearly show that temperatures exceeding 38 degrees Celsius and humidity levels above 70 percent during July and August led to a substantial decrease in daily milk yield and overall production. Buffaloes bore the brunt of this impact, followed closely by crossbred cattle.</p>
<p>Indigenous breeds, however, maintained relatively stable productivity even under similar weather conditions, highlighting their adaptability.</p>
<h3>PET: A Key Indicator for Livestock Health</h3>
<p>The study also underscored Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) as a critical, yet often underutilized, indicator for livestock research. Higher PET values during the summer and monsoon months consistently correlated with reduced milk production in dairy animals. This suggests PET provides a more comprehensive measure of heat stress compared to temperature alone.</p>
<p>Researchers explain that buffaloes are especially vulnerable due to their dark skin, which absorbs more solar radiation, and fewer sweat glands, making it difficult for them to dissipate heat effectively. Crossbred cattle also experienced significant productivity declines during heatwaves.</p>
<p>Indigenous breeds, on the other hand, possess natural adaptations like loose skin, efficient sweating mechanisms, and lower metabolic heat production – the process where the body generates heat while converting food into energy – which bolster their resilience to heat stress.</p>
<p>Mohan Singh Ahluwalia, a dairy and livestock expert, former Commissioner of the Haryana government, and ex-Central Member of the Animal Welfare Board of India,that the study's conclusions align with regional conditions observed across India over a long period.</p>
<h2>FAQ</h2>
<h3>Q1: Which animals are most affected by heat stress in India's dairy sector?</h3>
<p>Buffaloes and crossbred cattle are found to be most sensitive to heat stress, experiencing significant drops in milk production during high temperatures and humidity.</p>
<h3>Q2: What makes indigenous Indian cattle breeds more resilient to climate change?</h3>
<p>Indigenous breeds like Sahiwal and Haryana possess natural adaptations such as loose skin, effective sweating, and lower metabolic heat production, which help them cope better with heat stress and maintain productivity.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Bikaner Police Deepens Probe into Cross-Border Arms Smuggling</h2>
<p>Bikaner Police have achieved another significant breakthrough in the sensational case involving arms dropped by a Pakistani drone near the India-Pakistan international border, specifically in the Khajuwala police station area. Authorities have arrested three more individuals, successfully connecting crucial dots in the cross-border arms trafficking network. The investigation is now focused on dismantling the entire syndicate and apprehending its remaining collaborators.</p>
<p>The initial incident, which prompted a high-stakes police operation, occurred on February 26. A large consignment of weapons was dropped into Indian territory by a drone from Pakistan's side, close to the international border in the Khajuwala region.</p>
<h2>The Drone Drop and Initial Recovery</h2>
<p>Upon receiving intelligence, police and security agencies launched an extensive search operation. This led to the recovery of a 'Made in China' pistol and 326 live cartridges. Recognizing the extreme gravity of the incident from a national security perspective, police immediately initiated a specialized investigation. A dedicated team, working under the guidance of Range IG Omprakash Meghwal and Superintendent of Police Mridul Kacchawa, has been relentlessly analyzing technical data, intelligence inputs, and collaborating with other agencies.</p>
<h2>Unraveling the Network's Layers</h2>
<p>IPS Anushka Kalia, Sadar Circle Officer (CO), confirmed that the investigation first led to the arrest of the main accused, Sonu alias Sukhwinder. Based on his interrogation and the intelligence gathered, police began peeling back the layers of the entire network, leading them to the three additional suspects.</p>
<p>Police rounded up and arrested Karan Singh Bodla (27) from Fazilka, Punjab. Gurkeerat Singh (33), a resident of Abohar from Mohali, and Avtar Singh (28), a resident of Gharsana, Rajasthan, were also apprehended. All three have been produced before the court for further investigation after initial questioning.</p>
<h2>Active Members of a Cross-Border Syndicate</h2>
<p>Kalia explained that the investigation revealed Karan Singh and Gurkeerat Singh were essentially 'foot soldiers' for the organized cross-border smuggling syndicate operated by Sonu alias Sukhwinder. Their primary role involved safely retrieving, hiding, and then transporting the weapons dropped by Pakistani drones to other members of the network. Avtar Singh was found to be providing local support to this illicit operation.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Drones offer smugglers a significant advantage by allowing them to bypass traditional border security measures and deliver payloads covertly, often under the cover of darkness.</div>
<p>Authorities suspect this gang has been in contact with cross-border smugglers for a considerable period, actively participating in the trafficking of weapons and other prohibited materials via drones.</p>
<h2>Accused with Criminal Records</h2>
<p>CO Kalia highlighted that all three arrested individuals possess prior criminal records. Karan Bodla faces multiple cases under the NDPS Act in Fazilka and Firozpur districts of Punjab. Gurkeerat Singh has a history of involvement in drone dropping incidents and was already on the radar of security agencies. Avtar Singh has cases registered against him under the NDPS Act in Jaitsar and the Electricity Act at Mukalawa police station. Their criminal pasts, according to police, confirm their deep involvement in organized crime and smuggling activities.</p>
<h2>Police Continue Search for Network's Core</h2>
<p>Police are now conducting intensive interrogations of the arrested individuals. The primary objective of the investigation is to identify the operators sending drones from Pakistan, the recipients of the consignments in India, the ultimate buyers of these weapons, and those providing financial support to the network. To achieve this, technical evidence, mobile data, call detail records, and other electronic evidence are being meticulously analyzed.</p>
<p>Police officials have stated that the smuggling of weapons via drones from across the border poses a grave challenge to national security. They assure that strict legal action will be taken against every individual involved in such cases. Bikaner Police, in close coordination with central security agencies, continues its relentless efforts to expose and dismantle the entire network.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Jodhpur Open Jail Hosts Unique Wedding Ceremony</h2>
<p>Jodhpur's Mandore Open Jail Camp buzzed with an unusual festive spirit on Wednesday. The sounds of dhol and thali resonated through the open prison as two inmates, Moolaram and Seema, exchanged vows. This marks the first time such a wedding has taken place within the facility, receiving special permission from the Rajasthan High Court.</p>
<p>Moolaram, serving a life sentence for murder, and Seema, also convicted for murder, officially became husband and wife. The High Court's division bench, comprising Justices Pushpendra Singh Bhati and Praveer Bhatnagar, granted the necessary approval for this unique union. A limited gathering of 21 individuals was permitted to attend the ceremony.</p>
<h2>A Path Towards Rehabilitation</h2>
<p>This marriage sets a precedent, aiming to serve as an example for the rehabilitation of inmates who, after serving their sentences for crimes committed under specific circumstances, aspire to return to mainstream society. Prison staff were present during the matrimonial proceedings, ensuring smooth conduct.</p>
<p>The wedding rituals unfolded within Moolaram's living quarters, transformed by a small marquee for the occasion. The groom, Moolaram, performed the traditional 'toran maar' ceremony amidst the rhythmic beats of drums and cymbals. Seema's adoptive father, Radhakishan, along with his wife and other family members, welcomed Moolaram and his relatives.</p>
<p>Pandits solemnized the marriage with Vedic chants, bringing Moolaram and Seema together. Radhakishan, who also facilitated Seema's recent parole, expressed his hope that their marriage would send a positive message. He shared that he had adopted Seema.</p>
<h2>The Couple's Journey</h2>
<p>Moolaram has been serving a life sentence since January 16, 2017, for the murder of a neighbour stemming from a land dispute.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Kota Doctors Undertake Complex Procedure to Save Toddler</h2>
<p>In a remarkable medical intervention, doctors at MBS Hospital's Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Department in Kota successfully removed an open safety pin lodged dangerously between the throat and brain of a two-and-a-half-year-old child. The intricate procedure, performed on Tuesday, utilized an endoscope, offering a new lease on life for the young patient.</p>
<p>The safety pin, found to be open, had caused internal injury and a collection of blood, complicating its extraction. The medical team worked diligently, first anesthetizing the child, then carefully navigating the delicate area to remove the foreign object.</p>
<h2>Emergency Admission and Challenging Extraction</h2>
<p>Dr. Shemendra Kumar Meena, from the ENT Department at MBS Hospital, shared details of the case. The child was brought to the emergency room on July 21st in the afternoon. His parents reported that the pin had gone into his nose. Further examination revealed the pin had moved beyond the nose, lodging itself in the adenoid area, situated between the throat and the head.</p>
<p>Initial attempts to remove the pin via endoscopy in the emergency operation theatre were challenging. Dr. Meena explained that the open pin had caused internal injury and blood accumulation, obscuring visibility during the endoscopic procedure. Suction was used to clear the blood, allowing the doctors to locate the pin. Given its open state, extreme caution was exercised to prevent further injury during extraction. The child is now reportedly stable, eating, and drinking normally. Unit Incharge Dr. Rajkumar Jain, Dr. Mukesh Somwanshi, and Dr. Shilpa were also part of the medical team.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Foreign body aspiration, especially in young children, is a serious medical emergency, and sharp objects like open safety pins pose a significant risk of internal injury and infection.</div>
<h2>Family Recounts Frightening Incident</h2>
<p>The child's father, a resident of Nainwa, recounted the terrifying incident. On the evening of July 20th, his son was playing at home when he got hold of his mother's safety pin and inserted it into his nose. By the time they realized what had happened, the pin had gone deep inside. They first rushed him to Bundi District Hospital, but the pin could not be removed there. Subsequently, they brought him to MBS Hospital in Kota, where the doctors performed the successful operation.</p>
<h2>Doctor's Crucial Advice for Parents</h2>
<p>Following the successful procedure, Dr. Meena issued an important advisory for parents. He urged them to keep small, pointed objects like safety pins, peas, peanuts, beads, wheat grains, rubber pieces, or chickpeas out of children's reach. Children often tend to insert such items into their mouths, ears, or noses, leading to potentially dangerous and life-threatening situations.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Pilot Visits Dausa, Offers Condolences</h2>
<p>Dausa witnessed a significant political visit this Wednesday as former Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot arrived in the district. Pilot's first stop was Meena Simla village, where he paid his respects to the late former Sarpanch, Sampatram Meena, at his residence. He met with the bereaved family, offering his condolences and support during their time of grief. A large number of Congress workers and local residents were present to greet him.</p>
<h2>Centre Under Fire Over Recent Incidents</h2>
<p>Following his visit to the grieving family, Sachin Pilot addressed the media, launching a scathing attack on the central government regarding recent national events. He asserted that the government's approach goes against democratic values, jeopardizing the future of millions of young people. Pilot accused the government of pursuing politics driven by arrogance and suppression, which he described as unfortunate for the nation's democracy.</p>
<h3>Rahul Gandhi, MPs Detained During Protest</h3>
<p>Pilot highlighted the detention of Rahul Gandhi and other opposition MPs from both houses of Parliament just a day prior. He explained that these leaders were participating in a peaceful protest near the Prime Minister's residence at Lok Kalyan Marg. The demonstration aimed to raise critical issues concerning the education system and demand the resignation of the Union Education Minister. Pilot emphasized that these leaders were not anti-social elements or terrorists but were exercising their democratic right to voice concerns.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Dausa, where Sachin Pilot was visiting, holds historical significance as it was once the first capital of the ancient Dhundhar kingdom in Rajasthan.</div>
<p>He called for the immediate withdrawal of cases filed against students. Pilot pointed out that many students were hospitalized with injuries, some suffering broken limbs and others in serious condition. He alleged that police used brutal lathi-charges and tear gas on the students, which he deemed entirely unjustified. Pilot made it clear that the Congress and the opposition would not back down from their demands until the Union Education Minister resigns.</p>
<h2>Government Accused of Suppressing Youth Voices</h2>
<p>The Congress leader also spoke about the recurring paper leaks and irregularities in recruitment exams, stating these incidents have eroded youth confidence in the system. He criticized the government for attempting to suppress the voices of young people instead of addressing their problems. Pilot further alleged that opposition leaders were dragged by the police, an act he described as against democratic traditions and unprecedented.</p>
<h3>PM's Silence Questioned</h3>
<p>Sachin Pilot did not spare Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning his silence on such significant developments. He reminded that the Prime Minister belongs to the entire nation, not just one political party. Pilot urged the PM to take a clear stance on youth concerns and issues related to the education system, stressing the importance of maintaining youth faith in democratic processes. He warned that a loss of trust among young people in the system would pose a severe crisis for the country.</p>
<p>Pilot concluded by accusing the government of diverting attention from real issues like employment, education, and transparent recruitment processes by promoting religious and communal topics. Throughout his visit, Bala Ji Police Station in-charge Sachin Sharma and a police contingent ensured security, alongside numerous senior Congress leaders, office bearers, and a large number of party workers.</p>

<description><![CDATA[ Jaipur&#039;s lifeline, Bisalpur Dam, sees renewed monsoon activity. While hopeful, officials warn of potential water cuts next year if rainfall falls short. ]]></description>

<media:keywords>Jaipur water, Bisalpur Dam, Monsoon, Water supply</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Monsoon Gains Pace, Eyes on Bisalpur Dam</h2>
<p>After a somewhat sluggish start, the monsoon has picked up pace across Rajasthan. Several districts reported good rainfall on Monday and Tuesday, bringing a much-needed respite. Crucially, the catchment area of the Bisalpur Dam, often called Jaipur's lifeline, is also experiencing rainfall. This development has both the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) and the Water Resources Department cautiously optimistic about a rise in the dam's water level.</p>
<p>However, amidst this renewed hope, a significant concern looms. Jaipur City's Chief Engineer for PHED, Ajay Singh Rathore, recently highlighted that the Bisalpur Dam currently holds sufficient water only until July of next year. He warned that if the monsoon doesn't deliver adequate rainfall, leading to insufficient water inflow into the dam, the city might face water supply cuts in the future.</p>
<h2>Rising Demand Meets Uncertain Supply</h2>
<p>Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Chief Engineer Rathore elaborated on the city's growing water demands. "Jaipur, the capital city, alone accounts for 6 lakh water connections, all directly supplied by the Bisalpur Dam," he stated. The number of connections is steadily increasing, with projections suggesting it could reach around 6.5 lakh by December. Currently, Jaipur city draws 630 MLD (Million Liters per Day) of water from the Bisalpur Dam.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> The Bisalpur Dam, built on the Banas River, is not only a crucial source of drinking water for Jaipur but also provides irrigation water to parts of Rajasthan.</div>
<p>Rathore acknowledged the monsoon's initial weak phase but emphasized that about a month and a half of the monsoon season still remains. "We are hopeful for a good monsoon, and if the Bisalpur Dam's catchment area receives substantial rainfall, the dam's water level will surely increase," he added. If the dam reaches a level of 313 or 314 RL (Reduced Level) due to good rains, Jaipur city could potentially receive water supply until July 2028. Conversely, a weaker monsoon could force the department to consider water supply cuts as early as November to January of this year.</p>
<h2>Bridging Gaps with Tanker Services</h2>
<p>Addressing immediate needs, Chief Engineer Ajay Singh Rathore confirmed that water is being supplied via tankers to the outer areas of Jaipur where household water connections are yet to be established. He also mentioned that in areas where water tanks are ready, the department is preparing to commence piped water supply soon.</p>

<p>Alwar Central Jail is once again in the headlines after a significant discovery of prohibited items within its premises. The incident came to light during a routine inspection, causing a stir among jail authorities.</p>
<p>Jail personnel spotted a suspicious white bag hanging from an electric wire near the prison wall. Upon investigation, it was found to contain a variety of items banned inside the correctional facility.</p>
<h2>Discovery During Routine Patrol</h2>
<p>Kotwali Station House Officer Dinesh Meena confirmed that a complaint was filed by Chief Warden Amarchand Sharma. Sharma reported that while on patrol around 2:30 PM, he noticed a white bag dangling from the electric wires running close to the jail wall.</p>
<p>He immediately alerted the jail administration. Following this, the jail superintendent and other wardens arrived at the scene. They used a ladder to retrieve the bag for further examination.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> Mobile phones are consistently among the most frequently confiscated prohibited items in Indian prisons, often smuggled through various ingenious and clandestine methods, posing a significant security challenge.</div>
<h2>What Was Inside the Bag?</h2>
<p>The contents of the bag raised immediate suspicion. Upon opening it, authorities uncovered a cache of forbidden goods:</p>
<ul>
<li>14 pouches of tobacco</li>
<li>14 bundles of beedis</li>
<li>5 data cables</li>
<li>5 mobile phones</li>
</ul>
<p>The presence of such items is a clear violation of prison regulations, prompting immediate action from the jail administration.</p>
<h2>Police Launch Investigation</h2>
<p>Following the recovery, the seized prohibited items were meticulously sealed in a cloth bag. The jail administration then lodged a formal complaint at the Kotwali police station.</p>
<p>SHO Dinesh Meena stated that the police have registered a case based on the complaint regarding the discovery of restricted items. ASI Ramniwas has been assigned to investigate the matter, and inquiries are currently underway to trace the origin of these items and identify those responsible for attempting to smuggle them into the jail.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Daylight Robbery in Ajmer Government Quarter: Assistant Professor's Laptop Stolen, FIR Registered After 19-Day Delay</h2>
<p>Ajmer is grappling with news of a brazen daylight theft that saw an Assistant Professor's laptop snatched from his government residence. The incident, which occurred in the city's Lohakhan Officer Colony, has raised concerns, particularly given the significant delay in police registering the First Information Report (FIR).</p>
<h2>The Incident Unfolds</h2>
<p>Dr. Saroj Kumar, an Assistant Professor at a government college in Ajmer and a native of Bihar, was allocated a government quarter (TC-3) in the Lohakhan Officer Colony. He reported leaving for college around 10:30 AM on July 1st.</p>
<p>Upon returning home at approximately 4:00 PM the same day, Dr. Kumar discovered his main door lock broken. A quick check inside revealed that only his laptop was missing. Tools like a pair of pliers, a screwdriver, and a sack, presumably left behind by the culprits, were found at the scene.</p>
<h2>Significant Loss: Years of Research Vanish</h2>
<p>The stolen laptop wasn't just a piece of hardware; it held immense personal and professional value. Dr. Kumar stated that it contained crucial personal documents for both him and his wife, scanned copies of identity proofs, academic certificates, and, most importantly, years of his research work and vital thesis papers.</p>
<p>He expressed profound distress over the loss, highlighting that the disappearance of his research data represents a substantial setback to his academic career.</p>
<h2>Allegations of Police Delay</h2>
<p>Dr. Kumar recounts filing a written complaint at the Civil Lines police station on July 2nd, the day after the theft. However, he alleges that the police initially held off on registering an FIR, citing ongoing investigation.</p>
<p>He made multiple attempts to follow up with the authorities, who reportedly tried to examine CCTV footage but without success. Frustrated by the lack of progress, Dr. Kumar formally requested an FIR be lodged on July 20th. He claims that only after persistent efforts was the case finally registered on July 21st.</p>
<h2>Investigation Underway</h2>
<p>Following the official registration of the FIR, a police team visited Dr. Kumar's residence to inspect the crime scene. The investigation is now fully underway, with authorities actively searching for the individuals responsible for the theft.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's much-awaited action thriller King is entering its final phase of production. According to industry sources, the film's last international shooting schedule is set to begin in the United States in August. The team is currently finalising multiple locations for what is expected to be the film's biggest schedule. If everything goes as planned, the US shoot will wrap up the film's principal photography. Once filming is complete, director Siddharth Anand and his team will shift their focus to post-production, including editing, visual effects, and sound design. An extensive schedule in Georgia was completed earlier this year, and only the climactic action sequences remain to be filmed. Major portions already shot in Georgia Sources close to the production reveal that a significant part of King was filmed in Georgia during April and May. The cast and crew spent several weeks there shooting key action and dramatic scenes, making it one of the film's most important schedules. Before heading to Georgia, the makers also filmed an elaborate action block at Mumbai's Mehboob Studio. Work on the project has reportedly been underway since January last year, and the upcoming US schedule is expected to bring the principal shoot to a close. Large-scale action shot at Yash Raj Studios The team also completed a six-day action schedule at Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai. The high-octane sequences were filmed overnight, with shoots continuing until around 4:30 am. Shah Rukh Khan filmed for four days during this schedule, while the stunt team and supporting actors completed the remaining portions. Advanced green-screen technology was extensively used to create visually ambitious action scenes, which will later be enhanced through VFX. The film also marks a major collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter Suhana Khan, who plays a lead role alongside him. Post-production to be the next big focus Once the final overseas schedule is completed, the makers will begin the film's extensive post-production process. The next few months will be dedicated to editing, visual effects, digital intermediate (DI), sound design, Dolby mixing, and the background score. According to sources, King is being designed as a large-scale action entertainer with international production values. The team plans to spend considerable time refining the visual and technical aspects to ensure the film delivers a cinematic experience on par with global action films.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Film 'Adipurush's dialogue writer and lyricist Manoj Muntashir has come under fire on social media after one of his statements. Regarding the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar against the NEET paper leak in Delhi and the lathi-charge on students, Manoj Muntashir called the protestors 'anti-national' in an interview. He said that he is saying this with full responsibility and that he will never go to Jantar Mantar. However, in the same interview, he had also supported the youth by questioning the failure of the government and administration in the NEET paper leak case. What Manoj Muntashir said about the Jantar Mantar protest?
In a conversation with 'Times Now Navbharat', 50-year-old lyricist Manoj Muntashir clarified that he would never go to Jantar Mantar. He said, "I will not go there because the people representing it right now are not such that I would feel good standing with them." He further said that he is listening to the speeches and watching the people coming there. People who say things like 'Bharat Tere Tukde Honge' and 'Kashmir is not a part of India' are coming there. Manoj said that he is calling them ‘anti-national’ with great responsibility. Government and system slammed over NEET paper leak
During the interview, while opposing the Jantar Mantar protestors, Manoj Muntashir questioned the central government and the administrative system on the NEET paper leak issue. He said that the youth of the country deserve a better system than this. No one in the world can say that the NEET paper leak is a good thing. This is absolutely wrong. If even one child loses their life because of this entire system, then it is the failure and accountability of the entire system. Users trolled on social media
As soon as the video of Manoj Muntashir's statement surfaced on social media platform X (Twitter), users started trolling him. One user wrote, "What is the definition of a traitor, Manoj Muntashir?  Changing ideology for a career is not right. If thousands of youth in the country are traitors, then no one can save this country." Another user commented that they pray to God that future generations are not treated the way you are treating this generation. Journey from Amethi to Bollywood and controversies
Manoj Muntashir, born in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, has been working as a lyricist in Bollywood for a long time. He has written several popular songs like 'Teri Galiyan', 'Teri Mitti', and 'Desh Mere'. However, after the film 'Adipurush' released in 2023, he became embroiled in a major controversy. He faced widespread opposition across the country regarding the language of dialogues related to Lord Ram, Sita, and Hanuman in the film. Following strong protests, the makers had to change the film's dialogues. Even after this, Manoj Muntashir continues to be in the news for his political and social statements.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Amitabh, Bachchan, didnt, undergo, surgery:Actor, clarifies, over, ICU, claims, perfectly, fine, the, post, was, misunderstood, was, about, Messi</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[On Tuesday, Amitabh Bachchan shared a post writing, 'In the hospital, after a surgery and in the ICU, under the care of experienced doctors and medical staff, then discharge from the hospital and return home.' Ever since the post came out, it was speculated that Big B had been discharged from the hospital after surgery. Now, he himself has clarified in a new blog that he was neither in the ICU nor did he undergo any surgery. His post was misunderstood. Clarifying in a new blog, Amitabh Bachchan wrote: I am perfectly fine. My post was misunderstood. I was just giving an example. My point was that after a major surgery or staying in the ICU, the most difficult time begins when you return home and face your weak or damaged condition. "Just like that, when a champion loses, the hardest battle for them is with the emotions raging within. I was referring to Argentina's loss and Lionel Messi's mental state at that time, a champion who faced defeat. But people assumed I was talking about myself." Further, he wrote, "People misunderstood it. Every champion has to accept that with time, a new champion will emerge. It's not easy for a champion to believe that someone else has taken their place. But this is the rule of life, and it will always happen." Finally, Big B writes, Suppose, God forbid, you have to go to the hospital for the treatment of some illness or problem. When you go to the hospital, your body is in its normal state. Then, after surgery or treatment, the illness gets cured, but living with a changed body afterwards and managing yourself again is the most difficult phase. It is possible that after treatment, your body may not be the same as before. Its way of functioning might change. Accepting this change is not easy. But our body is amazing. It adapts itself to circumstances, learns to work again. Perhaps not like before, but it still moves forward. The mindset of a defeated champion is also somewhat similar. Which post caused the misunderstanding Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his social media account late Tuesday night, The game is over, but the work continues. A little later, he had written in the blog, 'In the hospital, after a surgery and in the ICU, under the care of experienced doctors and medical staff, then discharge from the hospital and return home. This period of returning home is the most difficult. Physically, mentally, and in terms of everyday life too. You might have been a respected champion, and one day defeat stands before you. This is the most difficult phase of life.' News of hospitalisation in May too On May 19, journalist Vicky Lalwani claimed on his YouTube channel that Amitabh Bachchan was admitted to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai. He had said that he was admitted on May 16. However, when Dainik Bhaskar contacted a close family source to confirm the news, it was revealed that Amitabh was taken to Nanavati Hospital on May 16 for a routine check-up. He undergoes routine check-ups every month. He returned home immediately after this. Vlog and post amidst news of hospitalisation Amitabh Bachchan had made a meaningless post with some strange words from his official X account on May 20. He wrote at 12:03 AM - Pilori Barumba. Big B's 75% liver damaged 83-year-old Big B is alive with only 25% of his liver; 75% of his liver is damaged. After the accident on the set of the film Coolie, doctors had clinically declared him dead. It was difficult to survive even for 3-4 hours, Amitabh endured that pain for 4 days On July 26, 1982, Amitabh Bachchan was shooting an action sequence for the film Coolie. As per the shot's demand, Puneet Issar had to punch Amitabh, and he was supposed to fall onto a table. This was a job for a body double, but Amitabh shot it himself for perfection. The punch landed hard, causing a corner of the table to hit Amitabh's abdomen. There was no blood, but Big B was in a terrible state due to the pain. When he went to the hospital, doctors couldn't understand the exact cause. Big B spent two days relying on painkillers, but when the pain didn't stop, he was then admitted to St. Philomena's Hospital in Bengaluru. Doctors had also given up hope Amitabh Bachchan had an X-ray, but the exact cause still couldn't be determined. Many tests were done, but when the injury itself wasn't found, how could treatment be given? On the third day, when the pain became unbearable, doctors re-examined him with an X-ray. It was observed that gas was visible below the diaphragm in the X-ray, which was a sign of leakage. In fact, due to the injury, Amitabh's intestines had ruptured, and an infection had spread due to lack of timely treatment. On the fourth day, renowned surgeon H. S. Bhatia examined Amitabh's case and immediately suggested an operation. Before the operation, Amitabh developed a 102-degree fever and his heartbeat rose to 180 instead of 72. During the operation, it was found that the intestines had ruptured from the inside. In such a condition, it was difficult to survive even for 3-4 hours, but he had been struggling for four days. On the fourth day, Big B went into a coma. Two operations were performed, and he was kept in the hospital for two months.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Naseeruddin, Shah, gets, emotional, after, seeing, brutality, students:Says, When, the, ignorant, rule, wants, the, nation, become, ignorant</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bollywood's senior actor Naseeruddin Shah has become emotional after witnessing the assault and brutality against children amidst the protests. He strongly condemned the government and supported the students. The actor says that if those running the country are ignorant, then they would want the entire country to remain ignorant. Naseeruddin Shah has posted a video from his official social media account, in which he said- Greetings. I, Naseeruddin Shah, want to submit two things to all of you. Firstly, if an ignorant person leads this country, then his heart will desire that the entire country becomes ignorant, foolish, unsuccessful, and ruthless like him. Despite completing two different acting courses at the National School of Drama and the Pune Film Institute, what I have learned most about acting is from those children, those students whom I have tried to teach. Further, Naseeruddin Shah said, "My complete sympathy is with them. I give them thousands of blessings with every breath and salute them on every Teacher's Day. At this moment, my heart is also full, and I am boiling with anger seeing how our children are being treated with cruelty by those goons, who remind me of America's ICE agents, with their faces masked and sticks in their hands." Finally, Naseeruddin Shah said, "Sometimes think about your children too, and also think that you too will surely meet your end one day. To all these children, I want to say, don't lose hope. Many people's sympathy is with you, many people are with you. Keep fighting. I have always had hope from the youth generation of our country, and now that hope has become even more evident. You all keep fighting your battle, we are all with you. And to the government of this country, I just want to say this much, everything will be remembered." Claim of Participating in Protest Some time ago, a video of Naseeruddin Shah went viral, with claims that the actor had become part of the Cockroach Janata Party's protest and had reached Jantar Mantar. However, a fact check revealed that the video of Naseeruddin Shah and his son was old. Shabana Azmi reached the protest, suffered an asthma attack On July 20, senior actress Shabana Azmi, Prakash Raj, and other prominent figures participated in the Cockroach Janata Party protest. During this, Shabana Azmi's health deteriorated. Now, in an interview, she has revealed that she suffered an asthma attack due to tear gas shells being fired. She had difficulty breathing, but her pump was with her. She was taken to a nearby building and given initial treatment. After some time, when her condition improved, she rejoined the protest. Shabana's response to other artists not participating
When asked about the absence of Bollywood celebrities, Shabana said that people only talk about the absence of film stars. No one questions the non-participation of big businessmen or industrialists. Such questions divert attention from the main issue and create unnecessary controversy. Diljit Dosanjh said - what happened with the students was wrong Diljit Dosanjh wrote on Instagram Story, What happened today was very wrong. Students should not have been treated like this. I appeal to the authorities to listen to the students' demands. The voice of the people is the voice of God. I have been called 'anti-national' many times before. Perhaps I will be called the same now. After the farmers' protest, I faced a lot of opposition and legal troubles, which I cannot openly talk about. God is watching everything else. May God bless everyone.  Kangana called the movement an attempt to create pressure
On Monday, Kangana Ranaut had said that Parliament is the right place to discuss issues in detail, not the streets. She said that the public has elected a government and the decision to run the government should be theirs. Kangana said that all these people are creating a ruckus and causing mischief at Jantar Mantar. The way the movement is going is not right. The government cannot be forced through protests to decide who to keep in office and who to remove. Hema Malini said - don't mislead students
BJP MP Hema Malini also opposed this protest in a conversation with news agency ANI. She said that nothing will be achieved from such movements. The Modi government is continuously working for the development of the country's youth and education system. Hema Malini said that this matter should be resolved through dialogue and the students involved should not be misled. However, she refused to comment on the demand for the Education Minister's resignation. These big celebrities also supported the movement
Apart from Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj, Kunal Kamra and Swara Bhaskar have also joined this movement ongoing at Jantar Mantar at the grassroots level. Meanwhile, Soni Razdan, Zeenat Aman, Abhay Deol, Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Omi Vaidya, and Sonakshi Sinha have supported this campaign through social media. Lyricist Javed Akhtar has also written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding to initiate talks on this matter. Besides them, Vishal Dadlani, Dia Mirza, and filmmaker Onir have also expressed solidarity with the protestors.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Shilpa Shinde has once again found herself at the centre of controversy in Lock Upp 2. Soon after her heated arguments with Govinda's wife, Sunita Ahuja, after which Sunita exited the show due to health reasons, Shilpa is now facing backlash over her feud with actress Shivangi Joshi. Her comments and behaviour towards Shivangi have drawn criticism from viewers, fellow celebrities, and Shivangi's family, with many calling them insensitive and "cruel." However, this isn't the first time Shilpa has dominated headlines. From her controversial exit from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain and allegations of being threatened with a fake MMS to several public feuds, the actress has often remained in the spotlight for reasons beyond her work. Here's a look at the biggest controversies that have defined Shilpa Shinde's career Clash with Shivangi Joshi divided viewers The latest controversy began after Shilpa made personal remarks about Shivangi Joshi inside the Lock Upp 2 house. She alleged that Shivangi had been romantically involved with the male leads of several shows she had worked on. The comments quickly sparked backlash, with many viewers accusing Shilpa of making unnecessary personal attacks. Shivangi's sister Sheetal Joshi also criticised Shilpa's behaviour publicly, saying it was unfair to target her sister, especially when she was unwell inside the house. Many fans praised Shivangi for remaining calm despite the situation. Television celebrities also came out in support of Shivangi The controversy soon extended beyond the reality show. Actress Jannat Zubair publicly supported Shivangi, saying that attacking a woman's character should never become entertainment. Vinny Arora, wife of actor Dheeraj Dhoopar, also praised Shivangi and expressed sympathy for what she was going through inside the house. The debate has left viewers divided. While some believe Shilpa is simply playing the game the way reality shows demand, others feel there is a difference between strategy and making personal allegations. Shilpa's emotional revelation about her career Amid the controversies inside the house, Shilpa also shared one of the darkest phases of her life. She revealed that after quitting Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, she allegedly faced harassment and was threatened with a fake MMS. According to Shilpa, a journalist claimed to possess an MMS from her changing room and threatened to release it. She said the incident left her deeply disturbed at a time when she was already dealing with professional challenges following her exit from the popular sitcom. Controversies are not new for Shilpa This is not the first time Shilpa has found herself in the middle of a public controversy. Over the years, she has frequently made headlines for disagreements with television producers, fellow actors, and reality show contestants. Her exit from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain in 2016 led to a long legal and professional dispute with the show's producers, during which she accused the makers of mental harassment. The controversy dominated television news for months and remains one of the biggest turning points in her career. Why Lock Upp 2 is attracting viewers Lock Upp 2 has become one of the most discussed reality shows because of its frequent arguments, emotional confrontations, shocking revelations, and unpredictable tasks. Contestants often speak openly about their personal lives, making almost every episode trend online. Whether it is Shilpa Shinde's clashes with Shivangi Joshi, Harshad Chopda facing criticism for his behaviour, or emotional confessions from contestants, the show has managed to generate daily conversations on social media.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Filmmaker Sandeep Singh is mounting his ambitious historical epic, The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, on a grand scale. Starring Rishab Shetty in the lead role, the film has now brought in an international action team to create large-scale battle sequences and high-octane action scenes. Hollywood action expert to design battle sequences To recreate the film's historic battles, the makers have signed Mark Henson, an internationally acclaimed action designer known for his work on Game of Thrones, Vikings, The Witcher, and the Oscar-winning film Gravity. He will oversee the film's action choreography, with a focus on delivering realistic and visually striking combat scenes. Two more Hollywood stunt specialists join the team The production has also added two experienced Hollywood stunt professionals to its action unit. Vlad Rimburg, whose credits include The Fate of the Furious, Bloodshot, and Lucifer, has joined the project alongside Craig Macrae, known for Troy: Fall of a City. According to the makers, the trio will create some of the biggest and most ambitious war sequences ever seen in an Indian historical film. Vivek Oberoi to play Aurangzeb Made on an estimated budget of ₹500 crore, The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj will be released in two parts. Besides Rishab Shetty, the film also stars Arjun Rampal, Vivek Oberoi, and Shefali Shah in key roles. Shefali Shah will portray Rajmata Jijabai, the mother of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, while Vivek Oberoi will essay the role of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Arjun Rampal is set to play the film's primary antagonist. The makers say every character has been designed with historical authenticity while being presented on a cinematic scale. Filming to take place across Maharashtra's historic forts A major portion of the film will be shot at historic forts and locations across Maharashtra, many of which are closely associated with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and the rise of the Maratha Empire. The team aims to recreate the forts, battlefields, and historical setting as authentically as possible. The film is expected to hit theatres on January 21, 2027, and will be released in Hindi, English, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Marathi, targeting both Indian and international audiences. Over 60 films and shows have portrayed Shivaji Maharaj Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the 17th-century founder of the Maratha Empire, has inspired filmmakers for decades. More than 60 films and television projects based on his life have been produced over the years, beginning with the silent film Sinhagad in 1923. With The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the makers aim to present his legacy on a scale never seen before.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress Kunickaa Sadanand reacted strongly after someone claimed that a child had died during the ongoing CJP protest in Delhi. While speaking to ANI in New Delhi, a person told the actress, "A child has also died, ma'am." Kunickaa immediately dismissed the claim, saying, "No, no... there has been no death. I have spoken to the police. No such incident has happened. Please don't spread false information." Kunickaa argued with a policeman Notably, Kunickaa Sadanand expressed support for the movement by reaching the ongoing student protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. Meanwhile, the actress also criticized the police lathi-charge on students during the Parliament March at Jantar Mantar on Sunday. The actress released a video on Instagram and said, 'The pictures we saw today are enough to shake anyone to their core. Abhijit Deepke was detained, students were lathi-charged, tear gas was fired, and yes, it is absolutely natural to be angry, but I want to say one thing with folded hands. Please do not let your anger turn into any violence.' He further said, 'This is the moment where the true test of a public movement takes place. Do not abuse the police, do not pick up stones, do not indulge in any kind of vandalism, because the moment a protest starts looking violent, the real issue goes into the background. And the issue for which you have come so far, have been sitting for so many days, gets suppressed.' Kunickaa questioned the government In a conversation with PTI, Kunickaa said, It's been more than a month. How long has it been since the NEET paper leaked? The government should take some cognizance. You are starting your monsoon session. We should have known something, so that we would be assured that you are going to discuss this, but today when the discussion started, you cancelled the Parliament session itself. Does a person have to give their life in a democracy before you listen, or will you not listen even after that, because we have seen that too.' Clash between protesters and police The Cockroach Janta Party marched from Jantar Mantar to Parliament on Monday. During the protest, which lasted from 8 AM to 5 PM, there were several clashes between protesters and police. In the protest that started at 8 AM, protesters broke barricades and marched towards Parliament at 10 AM. The agitators reached near Parliament via Jantar Mantar, Sansad Marg, Janpath Chauraha, War Memorial, Kartavya Path, and Vijay Chowk. attempted to enter Parliament, after which Parliament's security was increased, and the main gate was closed. Police fired tear gas shells. Late in the evening, pictures of stone-pelting also emerged. In this, more than 50 policemen and an equal number of protesters were injured.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Many eminent Bollywood celebrities including Sonu Sood, Anurag Kashyap, Aayush Sharma, Huma Qureshi, and Bhumi Pednekar have criticised the police lathi-charge on students during the Parliament march of 'Cockroach Janta Party' (CJP) at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Bollywood actor and Salman Khan's brother-in-law, Aayush Sharma, reacting to the protest march from Jantar Mantar to Parliament, said that the true identity of a healthy democracy is not just the vote, but the voice of every citizen. According to him, whether it's students or any citizen of the country, when they express their views, they should be heard, not suppressed. Aayush Sharma said that the government has finally listened to the voice of the students, which is a positive sign for the democratic system. However, he also expressed sorrow that many students had to face tear gas and lathi-charge during the protest. He said that it is concerning that the youth had to go through such circumstances to convey their demands to the government. Actor Sonu Sood wrote on social media, 'Our students need embracing hands, not lathis.' Anurag questioned the police action Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap wrote on Instagram Story, To wear a uniform, one has to bargain with their soul, their humanity, everything. Didn't know that. Is there any policeman in this country who can stand up and say, 'I will not obey this order, because it is wrong?' Huma Qureshi called the lathi-charge tragic Huma Qureshi wrote on her Instagram, Today's pictures will remain in my mind for a long time. I was very saddened to see such brutality and the use of batons on peaceful protestors. This could certainly have been handled with more patience, listening to people, and dialogue. ```html She further wrote, We, the people of India, have elected this government, and today we all need to ask questions and expect accountability. We are a very large and diverse country. It is not necessary that we agree on every issue, but we can certainly agree that every citizen's voice should be heard with respect before force is used. Huma concluded by saying that she respects every student and citizen who has decided to stand up for their beliefs peacefully. Jai Hind." Actress Bhumi Pednekar wrote in an Instagram post, 'Violence is not the solution.' ``` Bhumi Pednekar said - Violence is not the solution Bhumi said that it is the country's duty towards its youth to ensure that movements do not turn violent and do not deviate from their purpose. She also said that democracies are built through dialogue. Bhumi also demanded reforms in the education system and raised issues like paper leaks, exam failures, lack of equal opportunities, shortage of teachers, and pressure on students, which need attention. 
 YouTuber Elvish Yadav also opposed violence, writing on his X account, I am neither a supporter of BJP nor Congress, but what is happening with the students is completely wrong. The students who came forward with their legitimate problems should not have faced violence. Their concerns should be heard and appropriate action should be taken. Clash between protesters and police The Cockroach Janta Party marched from Jantar Mantar to Parliament on Monday. During the protest, which lasted from 8 AM to 5 PM, there were several clashes between protesters and police.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bollywood has been divided into two factions over the ongoing CJP movement in Delhi regarding irregularities in the NEET exam and education reforms. On one hand, senior artists like Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj have taken to the streets demanding the resignation of the Union Education Minister, while on the other hand, BJP MPs Kangana Ranaut and Hema Malini have called this protest wrong. On Monday, there was a huge uproar in Delhi regarding the Parliament march during the Monsoon Session, after which many film stars also expressed their views on this movement through social media. Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj reached Jantar Mantar
Senior actress Shabana Azmi reached Delhi on Monday to join CJP's protest march. The 75-year-old actress was seen traveling in a truck with protesters and crossing barricades. Sharing pictures on social media, she wrote that the government has finally agreed to talk. This is a peaceful protest for education reforms at Jantar Mantar. During the protest, Shabana Azmi was seen struggling for breath, but she remained firm on her demand for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and an investigation into the irregularities in the examination. Shabana's response on the absence of other artists
When news agency PTI asked about the absence of Bollywood celebrities, she said that people only talk about the absence of film stars. No one questions the non-participation of big businessmen or industrialists. Such questions divert attention from the main issue and create unnecessary controversy. Kangana called the movement an attempt to create pressure
On the other hand, BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut has strongly criticized this movement. Speaking to the media outside the Parliament House, Kangana said that Parliament is the right place to discuss issues in detail, not the streets. She said that the public has elected a government and the decision to run the government should be theirs. Kangana said that all these people are creating a ruckus and causing mischief at Jantar Mantar. The way the movement is going on is not right. Through protests, the government cannot be forced to decide who to keep in office and who to remove. Hema Malini said - don't mislead students
BJP MP Hema Malini also opposed this protest in a conversation with news agency ANI. She said that nothing will be achieved from such movements. The Modi government is continuously working for the development of the country's youth and education system. Hema Malini said that this matter should be resolved through dialogue and the students involved should not be misled. However, she refused to comment on the demand for the Education Minister's resignation. These big celebrities also supported the movement
Apart from Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj, Kunal Kamra and Swara Bhaskar have also joined this movement ongoing at Jantar Mantar at the grassroots level. Meanwhile, Soni Razdan, Zeenat Aman, Abhay Deol, Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Omi Vaidya, and Sonakshi Sinha have supported this campaign through social media. Lyricist Javed Akhtar has also written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding to initiate talks on this matter. Besides them, Vishal Dadlani, Dia Mirza, and filmmaker Onir have also expressed solidarity with the protestors.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Model and actor Poonam Pandey has spent more than a decade in the spotlight, often for reasons beyond her acting career. From bold publicity stunts and legal troubles to reality shows and controversial public statements, she has repeatedly made headlines. Most recently, Poonam once again grabbed attention after she reached Jantar Mantar to support students protesting over education-related issues. While some social media users praised her for standing with the students, others questioned whether her presence diverted attention from the protest itself. However, this is far from the first time Poonam has found herself at the centre of controversy. Here's a look at some of the incidents that have kept her in the news over the years. The 2011 World Cup promise made her a household name Poonam first became a national talking point during the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. Before the tournament ended, she publicly announced that she would strip if India won the World Cup. The statement dominated entertainment news channels, newspapers and television debates for days. Although India lifted the trophy under MS Dhoni's captaincy, the promise was never fulfilled. Even today, the episode is remembered as one of the biggest publicity stunts in Indian entertainment and helped establish Poonam's image as a celebrity who was never afraid of controversy. Marriage followed by assault allegations Just days after their wedding in September 2020, Poonam filed a police complaint against her husband, Sam Bombay, while they were in Goa. She accused him of assault, molestation, and criminal intimidation. Following the complaint, Goa Police arrested Sam Bombay. The case received widespread media coverage because it came less than two weeks after the couple's wedding. Although the two later reconciled briefly and appeared together again, their relationship continued to remain under public scrutiny before eventually ending. Legal trouble in Goa after wedding In September 2020, shortly after marrying filmmaker Sam Bombay, Poonam landed in legal trouble in Goa. An FIR was registered against the couple after they allegedly shot an objectionable video inside the Chapoli Dam premises, which is government property. Goa Police detained both Poonam and Sam Bombay before they were later granted bail. The incident sparked political debate in the state, with questions being raised about permissions for the shoot. The controversy remained in the headlines for several days. Participation in Lock Upp created headlines In 2022, Poonam participated in Kangana Ranaut's reality show Lock Upp. Throughout the season, she frequently grabbed attention for her bold statements and emotional revelations. One particular moment that went viral was when she promised fans that she would share a special video if they voted to save her from elimination. The statement generated massive discussion online, with some viewers calling it clever gameplay while others criticised it as another publicity stunt. The fake death announcement shocked the country Perhaps the biggest controversy of Poonam Pandey's career came in February 2024. On February 2, 2024, a post shared on her official Instagram account claimed that she had died due to cervical cancer. The news spread rapidly, with celebrities, media organisations and fans posting condolence messages. Less than 24 hours later, Poonam uploaded a video confirming that she was alive. She explained that the campaign had been planned to spread awareness about cervical cancer and encourage women to undergo regular screening. The campaign, however, triggered widespread criticism. Several celebrities, doctors, and public health experts questioned the decision to spread false news in the name of awareness. Many social media users also accused her of causing unnecessary panic. Her agency later apologised for the campaign, while reports said legal complaints and a defamation suit were also filed over the incident. Bold social media content often sparked debate Long before influencer culture became mainstream, Poonam had built a strong presence on social media through bold photos and videos. Over the years, several of her posts attracted criticism, while some were reportedly removed from platforms for allegedly violating community guidelines. Supporters defended her right to express herself freely, whereas critics often accused her of deliberately creating controversy to remain in the spotlight. baby bump prank that grabbed attention On March 3, Poonam Pandey surprised her followers by sharing a photo on Instagram in which she appeared to be flaunting a baby bump. The post quickly went viral, leaving many fans and social media users wondering if she was expecting her first child. Nearly a month later, on April 1, Poonam revealed that the pregnancy announcement was an April Fools' Day prank. While some users found the prank amusing, many criticised her for making light of pregnancy and misleading her followers, turning it into yet another controversy.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[American singer and actor Nick Jonas has shared an unseen photo from the day he proposed to Priyanka Chopra, marking eight years since their engagement. Posting the picture on social media, Nick celebrated the milestone by recalling the moment Priyanka accepted his proposal. The actress also reacted to the post with a heartfelt message. Nick posts throwback proposal picture Nick shared the throwback photo on his official Instagram account. The image shows him holding Priyanka's hand, with her engagement ring clearly visible as she hides her face behind her other hand. Sharing the picture, Nick wrote, "8 years ago she said yes." Priyanka later reposted it on her Instagram Stories and replied, "So grateful you asked," expressing her love and gratitude for the special moment. Nick recently wished Priyanka on her 44th birthday Just days before sharing their engagement throwback, Nick Jonas celebrated Priyanka Chopra's 44th birthday with a romantic post on social media. He shared a video from their vacation in Spain, showing Priyanka enjoying a yacht ride, smiling at the camera, and blowing him a flying kiss. She was seen wearing sunglasses and a bandana. Nick captioned the post in Spanish, "¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Mi Amor!", which translates to "Happy Birthday, my love." He paired the video with a flamenco guitar track, adding a personal touch to the birthday tribute. Nick recalls sending Priyanka his first DM Priyanka Chopra recently appeared on the Jonas Brothers' podcast, where she and Nick Jonas looked back on how their love story began. During the conversation, Nick revealed that it was his brother, Kevin Jonas, who first encouraged him to watch Priyanka's TV series Quantico. Inspired by Kevin's suggestion, Nick sent Priyanka a direct message on social media. He also shared a screenshot of that first message during the podcast. It read, "I've heard from a few people that we should meet. I agree. Are you going to be in Los Angeles anytime soon?" The message marked the beginning of their relationship, which eventually led to their marriage in 2018. Priyanka suggested they continue the conversation privately Priyanka Chopra responded to Nick Jonas' message almost immediately. Instead of continuing the conversation on Instagram, she suggested they switch to texting, writing, "I've heard a lot about you from Graham. Let's text instead—it'll be more private. My team also has access to this account." During the podcast, Nick's brothers, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas, read out the exchange, leaving both Nick and Priyanka smiling and laughing as they looked back on the message that started their relationship. Nick and Priyanka tied the knot in Udaipur in 2018 After connecting through social media in 2016, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas stayed in touch and gradually grew closer. They met in person for the first time at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in 2017. Later that year, their appearance together at the Met Gala fuelled speculation about their relationship. In 2018, Nick proposed to Priyanka during a trip to Crete, Greece. The couple got married in December 2018 in a grand celebration at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Udaipur, with both Hindu and Christian wedding ceremonies. In 2022, they welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, via surrogacy. Priyanka to return to Indian cinema with Varanasi On the work front, Priyanka Chopra is set to return to Indian cinema with Varanasi, marking her comeback to Bollywood after several years. The film stars Mahesh Babu as Rudra, Prithviraj Sukumaran as Kumbh, while Priyanka plays Mandakini. On her birthday, the makers unveiled a new still from the film, featuring Priyanka in an intense look dressed in a black corset. Varanasi is slated for a theatrical release in April 2027.]]> </content:encoded>

In a conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, Atul Gangwar shared many unheard stories about Nida Fazli's personal life, his family settled in Pakistan, the pain associated with his father, his friendship with Jagjit Singh, and many other aspects of his life. When did you first meet Nida Fazli? The first meeting was in 1998. We were making a show called 'Adabi Cocktail', and Nida Sahab was its writer. During that time, he introduced us to Talat Aziz Sahab, Mukri Sahab (Mohammed Umar Mukri), and many other prominent artists. That's where our relationship began, which continued for years. When did you finally feel that a documentary should be made on Nida Fazli's life? While working with him, I realised that he was not just a great poet, but also a great human being. Through him, I met Johnny Walker, Tun Tun, Hasan Kamal, Javed Siddiqui, Rakesh Bedi, and many other legends. He gave me a perspective on life. That's when I felt that his story should reach future generations. A large part of Nida Fazli's family had moved to Pakistan. Did he talk to you about this pain? Personally, he talked very little about this, but whatever he had to say, he would express it in his poetry. After his father's demise, when he couldn't attend his funeral, he wrote the famous nazm 'Tumhari Qabr Par Main Fatiha Padhne Nahin Aaya' (I did not come to read Fatiha at your grave). His entire pain is visible in it. How did Nida Fazli remember his mother and father? For his mother, he wrote - 'A mother like sour chutney on a fragrant gram flour bread.' Even today, if you read his poem for his father, your eyes well up, but in conversation, he never dwelled in the past. His entire focus was on the present and the future. Is there any incident associated with Nida Fazli that is still remembered today? Once I went to his house, and his hand was injured. I asked, "What happened?" Laughing, he said, "I was tired at the mushaira. On stage, I leaned back, thinking there was a tent behind me. It turned out there was nothing behind me, and I fell straight down." The biggest thing was that he could laugh heartily at himself. Any special anecdote related to Nida Fazli and Jagjit Singh that you still remember today? Once I needed a recommendation letter for a child. Nida Sahab called me to the airport. Jagjit Singh and K.S. Chithra were also present there. I had a blank piece of paper. Nida Sahab immediately wrote the recommendation by hand right there and had Jagjit Singh sign it. His quick wit and understanding were amazing. I remember one incident very well. I had a professor at Delhi University. Some documents of his niece needed to be signed. It was a kind of appreciation for her, stating that the child sings very well. So I spoke to Nida Sahab. He said, "I am coming to Delhi, so you come and meet me at the airport." When I reached there, I saw that Jagjit Singh ji, Chitra ji, and Nida Sahab were already there. I told him, "Sir, I need that letter from you." He said, "Bring it." I brought a paper from a nearby counter. When I reached him, he then told Jagjit Singh ji, "Come on, sign this." The paper was blank. Chitra ji was standing behind. Jagjit Singh ji looked back and Chitra ji was watching, wondering if he was signing a blank paper. Signing a blank paper is a big deal. Nida Sahab understood. He quickly wrote an appreciation letter by hand and then got Jagjit Singh ji's signature on it. How was the friendship between Nida Fazli and Jagjit Singh? Their relationship was not just professional, but very personal too. Jagjit Singh's most famous album 'Insight' featured ghazals written by Nida Sahab. They often sat together. The harmonium would come out, and new ghazals would be composed right there. Did Nida Fazli and Jagjit Singh ever have amusing banter? Once, an acquaintance of ours wanted to organise a Jagjit Singh show. I told Nida Sahab that if he spoke, perhaps the fee would be reduced. He said, laughing, "Don't take my name. If you take my name, he won't give you a discount; instead, he'll invite me to recite for free at some mushaira." Later, what happened was that Jagjit Singh kept his full fee, but arranged for the entire show's sponsorship. Meaning, there was no burden on the organizers. This was their friendship. What was the biggest challenge in making the documentary? The biggest challenge was compiling years of memories and footage. The second challenge was that the film industry doesn't remember writers as much as it remembers actors or directors. But those who truly knew Nida Sahab helped us in every possible way. Did any artist also help in this journey? Yes. Singer Shaan gave the interview without any hesitation. His father, Manas Mukherjee, was a very good friend of Nida Sahab. He spoke openly about the relationship between his father and Nida Sahab. This enriched the documentary. There was a lot of controversy over one of Nida Fazli's couplets in Pakistan. Yes. He had recited- 'The mosque is very far from home, let's do this, let's make a crying child laugh.' People asked if a child is greater than Allah? Nida Sahab replied, "Humans build mosques, but Allah himself creates the child. Now, who is greater, you decide." This was his philosophy. How much did Gwalior in his childhood influence his poetry? Very deeply. He started writing poetry after listening to Meera's bhajans. His entire body of work reflects the Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb (syncretic culture) and Indian culture. That's why many people also call him the Kabir of the modern era. Has the hope for more films on such subjects increased after receiving the National Award? Absolutely. Until now, most documentaries have been made on big stars. But if a film made on a poet receives national honor, it will inspire other filmmakers to do serious work on literature and writers as well. Finally, what was the biggest lesson learned from Nida Fazli's life? That life should always be lived with a positive mindset. He struggled a lot, but never gave up. Whenever I read his poetry or relive his memories, I feel that no matter how many difficulties there are, one should never abandon hope and hard work.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar was among the celebrities spotted at Lord's Cricket Ground in London on Sunday for the third Test between India and England. His new look, featuring a white beard paired with black hair and a white-and-beige outfit, quickly caught fans' attention. Actor Saif Ali Khan was also at the stadium with his son, Taimur Ali Khan. Several photos and videos from the match went viral, showing the trio enjoying the game and chatting in the stands. One video that surfaced after the match captured a light-hearted moment. While walking out of the stadium, Akshay briefly lost his balance and almost fell, but quickly regained his footing. Seeing the moment, Saif and Taimur burst into laughter. Akshay took it sportingly, laughed along with them, and the three continued on their way. Akshay and Saif reunite on screen after 18 years On the work front, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan are set to reunite for the upcoming film Haivaan, which is scheduled to hit theatres on September 11, 2026. The film marks their first collaboration in nearly 18 years, after they last shared screen space in Tashan (2008). Over the years, the duo has also worked together in films such as Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Yeh Dillagi, and Aarzoo. Haivaan also features Saiyami Kher in a key role. Arjun Kapoor and Saahiba Bali spark dating buzz Meanwhile, Arjun Kapoor and actress Saahiba Bali were spotted together at Lord's Cricket Ground in London on Sunday while watching the India-England match. Their appearance together quickly sparked dating rumours after photos from the stadium went viral on social media. Saahiba later responded to the speculation by sharing a picture with Arjun on her Instagram Stories. Without directly addressing the rumours, she captioned the post, "Don't Believe Everything – Part 2," urging fans not to believe everything circulating online. Saahiba shares cryptic post amid dating rumours Saahiba Bali later shared a picture from Lord's Cricket Ground on her Instagram Stories, posing with Arjun Kapoor. Instead of directly responding to the dating speculation, she captioned the post, "Don't Believe Everything – Part 2," seemingly dismissing the rumours without explicitly addressing them. England beat India to seal the series England defeated India by 27 runs in the third ODI to clinch the three-match series 2-1. Batting first at Lord's, England posted 387/3 in 50 overs. Chasing the target, India finished on 360/10 despite Rohit Sharma's impressive 138-run knock, falling short of the target.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[How many marks were obtained in the report card? This perhaps isn't remembered with time, but the school bell, recess, mischief done with friends, teachers' scolding, and classroom stories stay with us for life. Prime Video's new series 'Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya' also uses these memories to question today's education system. In a special conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, Kay Kay Menon, Naveen Kasturia, Archana Puran Singh, Sameer Saxena, and Himank Gaur refreshed their school day memories. During the conversation, sometimes everyone was seen laughing heartily, and sometimes serious discussions about good teachers and the education system also came to light. 'Recess was awaited, the biggest tension was the unit test'
When all the artists were asked what their first memory of school was, the answer was almost like every person who has lived school life. Naveen Kasturia said with a smile that the first thing he remembers is recess. The whole day was spent waiting for it because that was the time to have fun freely with friends. At that age, the biggest tension was the unit test. It felt like if the test somehow finished, life would become easy for a few days. Meanwhile, Kay Kay. Menon said that he liked History the most during his school days. Even today, he enjoys reading history and knowing things related to it just as much. Someone dreamed of being an air hostess, while someone else wanted to be a train driver
When it came to childhood dreams, everyone had a different answer. Archana Puran Singh laughingly shared that in her childhood, she wanted to be an air hostess. The reason was also interesting. She thought that air hostesses get the opportunity to travel the world and have lots of chocolates. Later, she started wanting to become a teacher. Kay Kay Menon said that in his childhood, he wanted to be a train driver. He was always amazed by locomotives and large vehicles, wondering how they were driven. Naveen Kasturia said that until class six, his dream was to become an actor. Later, he started preparing for IIT, but the allure of films never faded. Some teachers had a stick, others would tell Dracula stories
As soon as school teachers were mentioned, the entire star cast started narrating their own anecdotes. Sameer Saxena shared that in his school, a teacher, as soon as he entered the class, would make the noisy children stand in a line and slap them one by one. Today, remembering that incident brings laughter.
Kay Kay. Menon said that in their time, there were different methods of punishment. Someone would throw chalk, someone a duster, and someone would make them stand by holding their ears. Archana Puran Singh remembered her English teacher, who would start telling Dracula stories in the middle of lessons. The entire class used to wait to hear his stories. Meanwhile, Sameer Saxena said that instead of making them play, his PT teacher used to narrate stories of horror films. Cheating was also openly discussed
During the conversation, stories of board exams and cheating also came to light. Naveen Kasturia laughingly admitted that he somehow passed the 12th Physics exam. Meanwhile, Kay Kay Menon narrated an interesting anecdote that once a student sitting behind him copied the entire answer by looking at his answer sheet, and in the end, both were caught.
However, Archana Puran Singh said that in her school, even thinking about cheating was considered wrong. 'Only when the best people become teachers, will the country change'
Amidst fun and memories, the conversation also touched upon serious issues of the education system. Naveen Kasturia said that if the country is to progress, the job of a teacher should be the most respected. Only with good salaries and respect will the most capable people enter this profession.
Kay Kay Menon further elaborated on this, saying that India has a tradition of gurus, but gradually we have reduced giving that respect to teachers. He believes that both the respect and economic status of teachers in society should be better. Archana Puran Singh said that children should not only be prepared to get good marks, but equal emphasis should also be placed on making them good human beings. 'People will not just laugh, they will also remember their childhood'
The star cast believes that 'Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya' is not just a light-hearted comedy. Through it, many important questions have also been raised about the education system, teachers, children, and parent-child relationships.
Himank Gaur said that everyone will definitely see some character from their school in the show. Meanwhile, Sameer Saxena believes that although the situations shown in it may seem funny, the truths of life are hidden behind them.
Concluding the conversation, Kay Kay Menon said that good stories not only entertain but also leave questions in the minds of the audience. This is also the endeavor of 'Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya'.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[It was the 1960s. A lean young boy dreamed of moving to Mumbai to become an actor. One day, he received a letter from a friend's girlfriend that read, "Come to Mumbai. My father is a character actor in films—he'll help you." With that hope, he left for the city of dreams. But the girl he had counted on was herself living a modest life. He stayed with a relative for a few days before having to leave. With barely any money, he spent nights sleeping on the floor of a zari factory hall alongside 30 to 40 other workers. At times, he even travelled on Mumbai's local trains without a ticket. Years later, that same young man would become one of Indian cinema's finest actors. With unforgettable performances in films like Sparsh, Masoom, Sarfarosh, A Wednesday! and Ishqiya, he earned the admiration of audiences and critics alike. Yes, we're talking about Naseeruddin Shah. On his 76th birthday, here's a look at some of the lesser-known stories from his remarkable journey. Left home at the age of 16 and went to Mumbai Naseeruddin Shah writes in his autobiography, And Then One Day, that after passing his Class 10 exams, he felt the hardest phase of his life was over. While his father wanted him to become a doctor, an officer, or join the Army, Naseeruddin had only one dream—to become an actor, which meant moving to Mumbai. After enrolling in college, he spent more time in cinemas than classrooms, even using his tuition money to watch films. Around that time, a friend's girlfriend in Mumbai wrote back to his letter, saying, "Come to Mumbai. My father is a character actor and he'll help you." Inspired by those words, Naseeruddin bought a train ticket with his tuition money and left for Mumbai with just ₹500 in his pocket. After reaching Mumbai, Naseeruddin Shah realised the family he had relied on was struggling financially themselves. He stayed with a relative for a few days before moving into a large hall at a zari embroidery factory, where 30 to 40 people slept on the floor every night. To survive, he looked for work as a waiter and even applied for a bellboy's job at the Taj Hotel, but was rejected. Eventually, a broker got him work as an extra in the film Aman for ₹7.50. Though he appeared only in a funeral procession scene, standing before the camera felt like his dream had finally begun. Dilip Kumar advised him to stay away from films Naseeruddin Shah had left for Mumbai without telling his family, leaving them worried for months. One day, while sitting outside the Pampoosh restaurant, he was startled when a gleaming grey limousine stopped in front of him. A woman stepped out, asked, "Is your name Naseer?", and invited him into the car. He soon realised she was Saeeda Khan, the youngest sister of legendary actor Dilip Kumar. Shah then discovered how he had been traced. His father, who served as the administrator of the Sufi shrine in Ajmer, had sought help from Dilip Kumar's sister Sakina, who frequently visited the shrine. Through family connections, they managed to locate him in Mumbai. The car took him to Dilip Kumar's bungalow, where he met Sakina. Seeing her, Shah broke down in tears and apologised for leaving home without informing anyone. After an emotional conversation, he finally agreed to return home. They were given a place to stay in the bungalow's basement. The room was simple, but there were complete arrangements for food, drink, and bathing. One day, he even met Dilip Kumar himself. Shah wanted to ask him for work, but before he could gather the courage, Dilip Kumar explained to him that boys from good families should not enter the film industry. A few days later, Dilip Kumar's family sent Shah to Meerut. In an interview given to Lallantop, Naseeruddin Shah had revealed that when Dilip Kumar told him, 'Boys from good families should not come into films,' at that moment he wanted to ask Dilip Kumar, 'If that's the case, then why did you yourself come into this industry? You too were from a good and respectable family.' However, he didn't dare to say so. Secretly married a 34-year-old Pakistani woman Naseeruddin Shah's first wife was Parveen Murad, also known as Manara Sikri, whom he met at Aligarh Muslim University. A final-year MBBS student and Pakistani citizen, Parveen was around 14–15 years older than him. As her student visa was nearing expiry during a period of strained India-Pakistan relations, returning to Pakistan could have made it difficult for her to come back. Marriage offered a way for her to remain in India. The couple secretly married on November 1, 1969, in a simple ceremony attended only by Parveen's mother and the wife of one of her professors. None of Naseeruddin's family members were present. However, the news soon spread across the university and eventually reached his family in Meerut and Sardhana. His father was deeply upset, calling him naive and foolish in a letter, while his mother emotionally asked, "If you had told us, would we have refused?" Instead of being happy at the birth of his daughter, he was disappointed. It was the year 1969. Naseeruddin Shah had just enrolled in the National School of Drama (NSD). Then one morning, he received a telegram in the hostel, 'Parveen has gone into labor.' Without delay, he boarded the first bus from Delhi to Aligarh. He reached the hospital around noon, where Parveen's mother was standing outside. She smiled and said, 'A daughter was born at six in the morning.' Naseeruddin Shah has admitted in his autobiography that he was not happy at that moment. He had hoped for a son. He had imagined a son in his mind, whom he would teach to play cricket, teach to shoot, and make him like himself. Upon hearing the news of a daughter, he was deeply disappointed. He feared that his friends would make fun of him. Meanwhile, shortly after the birth of their daughter, the relationship between Naseeruddin Shah and Parveen Murad fractured. Circumstances led them to decide to separate. After the separation, Parveen took their daughter Heeba and moved first to London and then to Iran. Later, when Heeba Shah was about 12 years old, she returned to her father. Had spoken her heart out in front of her father's grave When Naseeruddin Shah received the news that his father had passed away and would be buried in Sardhana, Meerut today, he didn't even have money to go to Delhi at that time. He borrowed 500 rupees from Ratna Pathak and reached the airport, but all flights were full. He was advised that showing the telegram about his father's demise might get him an emergency seat, but due to the rude behavior of the staff at the counter, he did not ask anyone for help and returned. Thus, he could not attend his father's last farewell. Later, when Naseeruddin Shah reached Sardhana, he sat by his father's grave and spoke all the things from his heart that he could never say to him while he was alive. He told him that he had done a new film, in which he played the role of a Hindu priest. Now he is going to play the role of a rebel from 1857. He also said that he had fallen in love with Ratna and now his earnings were also better than before. Naseeruddin Shah felt as if his father was listening to every word he said. Mother had asked - Will Ratna change her religion? Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak's wedding took place on April 1, 1982, at Ratna's mother's house as a simple registered marriage. The two met in 1975 during the rehearsal of a play called 'Sambhog Se Sanyas Tak'. When Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak decided to get married, Naseeruddin one day bravely told his mother that he now wanted to marry Ratna. His mother listened to him completely. Then, in a very calm voice, she asked only one question, 'Will you ask Ratna to convert to Islam?' To which Naseeruddin replied without any hesitation, 'No... I will never ask her to do that.' He made it clear that if the marriage were to happen, Ratna would enter this relationship with her own identity and religion. He would not put any kind of pressure on her. After this, his mother herself reached Ratna's house. She asked Ratna's mother, the famous actress Dina Pathak, for her daughter's hand. Friend Jaspal stabbed him from behind Naseeruddin Shah had revealed in his autobiography that in 1977, during the shooting of the film 'Bhumika', his friend Rajendra Jaspal attacked him with a knife. It is said that Jaspal attacked Shah out of jealousy over his success and the achievements he was getting in his career. At that time, Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri were eating at a restaurant. Jaspal arrived there and, a little later, stabbed Naseeruddin Shah in the back with a knife. Om Puri immediately showed bravery and stopped Jaspal from attacking again. After this, chaos ensued in the restaurant and the police arrested Jaspal. Shah was admitted to the hospital. After spending about two days in jail, Jaspal was granted bail. Later, one day Jaspal suddenly arrived at Shah's house, but he neither apologized nor expressed regret for the attack. Later, both reached court, where Shah did not pursue the case against him. After this, the court closed the case. 
 Called Shah Rukh Khan a boring actor and Anupam Kher a joker Naseeruddin Shah is one of those few Bollywood artists who are known for their outspoken and bold statements. He has criticized many actors from time to time. He called Shah Rukh Khan a boring actor and Rajesh Khanna a limited and inferior actor. Meanwhile, Shah had also called Anupam Kher a joker, to which Anupam Kher had retorted. Actually, Shah had said about Kher in an interview, People like Anupam Kher have been quite vocal. I don't think he needs to be taken seriously. He is a joker. Many of his contemporaries at NSD and FTII can confirm his sycophantic nature. It is in his nature. He cannot separate himself from it. In response to this, Anupam Kher had said, I do not take you or your words seriously at all. Although I never spoke ill of you nor called you names, I would definitely like to say now that despite achieving so much success, you have spent your entire life in frustration. If you can criticize people like Dilip Kumar Sahab, Amitabh Bachchan Sahab, Rajesh Khanna Sahab, Shah Rukh Khan, and Virat Kohli, then I am quite sure that I am also in excellent company. None of them took your words seriously, because we all know that it's not you, but the effect of the substances you have been consuming for years. Perhaps that's why you don't understand the difference between right and wrong. Meanwhile, Anupam Kher was recently trolled over a statement related to donations for the Ayodhya Ram Temple. During this time, both old videos of Naseeruddin Shah's statement and Anupam Kher's reaction in response went viral again. After this, Anupam Kher revealed that a few months ago, both of them had buried their differences and hugged each other.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[to impress because viewers feel the actors don't suit their characters. Over the years, several Bollywood films have sparked debates over their casting choices.  While the filmmakers had their own creative vision, many viewers took to social media, Reddit, and review platforms to say that different actors might have been a better fit. Here are some Bollywood films that audiences have often criticised for their casting choices. Ramayana – Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram Even before its release, Ramayana sparked debates over Ranbir Kapoor's casting as Lord Ram. While many fans have praised his transformation and the film's grand scale, a section of social media users has questioned whether he is the right choice for the iconic role. Online critics have pointed to his previous on-screen image and expressed doubts about his ability to embody the qualities traditionally associated with Lord Ram. At the same time, many others have urged audiences to reserve judgment until the film's release, arguing that it is too early to evaluate his performance based only on promotional material. Adipurush – Saif Ali Khan as Ravana When Adipurush was released in 2023, Saif Ali Khan's portrayal of Ravana became one of the film's most debated aspects. Many viewers felt his look, dialogue delivery, and styling did not match their expectations of the mythological character. While some appreciated the makers' attempt at a modern interpretation, a large section of the audience said the casting failed to connect with them. Brahmāstra – Ranbir Kapoor as Shiva Despite becoming a box-office success, Brahmāstra received mixed reactions for Ranbir Kapoor's performance. Some viewers felt he looked too mature to play a carefree young man, while others believed the character lacked emotional depth. Many social media users argued that another actor might have brought more freshness to the role. Thugs of Hindostan – Aamir Khan as Firangi The film featured an impressive cast, including Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. However, many viewers felt Aamir Khan's quirky character did not suit the film's serious tone. Online discussions often suggested that the role felt forced and didn't blend well with the story. Panipat – Arjun Kapoor as Sadashivrao Bhau Historical dramas often come with high expectations, and Panipat was no exception. After its release, many viewers said Arjun Kapoor lacked the screen presence and intensity needed for the role. While some praised his effort, audience discussions frequently questioned whether another actor would have been a better choice. Zero – Shah Rukh Khan as Bauua Singh Shah Rukh Khan was praised for taking on an unconventional role, but the film itself divided audiences. Some viewers felt the character failed to create an emotional connection despite the actor's performance. Many online reviews argued that the casting and screenplay together prevented the film from reaching its full potential. Prithviraj (now Samrat Prithviraj) – Akshay Kumar as Prithviraj Chauhan The historical drama faced criticism soon after its release. Many viewers felt Akshay Kumar looked too contemporary for the role of the legendary king. Discussions on social media often centred around his appearance, dialogue delivery, and whether a younger actor might have been more convincing. In the end, there is no universal definition of perfect casting. These films simply show that when audience expectations and a filmmaker's vision don't align, casting choices often become one of the biggest talking points long after a movie leaves theatres.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Explaining the idea behind Pritam and Pedro, Rajkumar Hirani said technology has become an inseparable part of daily life, but many elderly people still struggle to keep up with the digital world. From booking train tickets to banking, almost everything has moved online. After reading several reports about cybercrime, he realised that while criminals have adopted new methods, law enforcement has also had to evolve. This inspired him to create the story of an honest police officer who is suddenly transferred to the cyber cell and must learn an entirely new way of solving crimes. The addition of Pritam, a young ethical hacker, brought a fresh dynamic to the story, with the contrasting personalities of the two characters driving the narrative. The emotional core of the series Hirani believes the true heart of the series lies in its closing song, which talks about apologising, forgiving, and making life's journey a little easier. While developing the story, he wanted it to be more than just a cybercrime investigation or a tale of friendship. According to him, the idea of forgiveness eventually became the emotional foundation of the series, giving it a much deeper meaning. Virender Sehwag finished his scene in one take Sharing a behind-the-scenes memory, Hirani revealed that former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag completed his guest appearance in a single take. Impressed by his performance, Hirani jokingly asked him to do another take, saying it felt as though school had ended too early. He also recalled that when Sehwag was first approached for the cameo, he immediately agreed and even suggested a convenient date for the shoot, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Why ordinary people make extraordinary stories Hirani said he has always believed that audiences connect most with ordinary characters. However, he added that their lives must be filled with meaningful conflict. According to him, even a simple character can become memorable if faced with extraordinary challenges. Without conflict, a story loses both its emotional depth and entertainment value. How OTT has changed storytelling Talking about the difference between films and OTT, Hirani said the basic principles of storytelling remain the same, but web series offer greater creative freedom. With no strict runtime, filmmakers can explore characters in greater depth and tell more layered stories. At the same time, he admitted that holding viewers' attention has become more difficult because audiences have endless viewing options and can easily switch to another show. Finding original stories is now a bigger challenge Hirani admitted that finding fresh ideas has become increasingly difficult. Every year, countless films and web series are released across the world, and audiences now have access to international content through dubbing and subtitles. In such a competitive environment, he believes originality is harder to achieve than ever before. For him, the biggest challenge is creating stories that keep viewers invested until the very end. Audience appreciation matters the most For Hirani, the biggest reward is not box office numbers but the audience's response. He shared that after the release of Pritam and Pedro, he received an overwhelming number of messages from viewers. Many told him they had planned to watch only one episode but ended up binge-watching all six in a single night. He said such appreciation is the greatest satisfaction any filmmaker can receive. Why Veer Hirani got the role Hirani revealed that he had decided long ago not to direct his son Veer's debut project. Instead, he limited his role to writing the story and producing the series, while Avinash Arun took charge as director. Initially, another actor had been cast as Pritam, but scheduling conflicts created an opening. Veer then expressed his interest in the role and went through a proper audition process. He first showed Avinash his stage performance in Letters of Suresh before auditioning nearly 15 scenes over several days. Only after watching his auditions did Avinash decide that Veer was the perfect fit for the character. About the series Set in Goa, Pritam and Pedro follows Pedro (Arshad Warsi), an old-school police officer who is unexpectedly transferred to the cybercrime unit. There, he teams up with Pritam (Veer Hirani), a brilliant ethical hacker. Together, the unlikely duo investigates kidnapping cases, cyber fraud, and other complex crimes. The six-episode series also stars Vikrant Massey in a quirky negative role, while Boman Irani and Mona Singh play pivotal characters.]]> </content:encoded>

<media:keywords>Kota, Farmers Protest, Congress</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Kota Braces for Major Congress Protest on July 28</h2>
<p><strong>Kota:</strong> Farmers in the Hadoti region are grappling with severe shortages of fertilizer and seeds, alongside a pressing demand for canal water for irrigation. In response, the Congress party has announced a massive protest set for July 28 in Kota.</p>
<p>This decision emerged from a recent meeting of city and rural Congress workers, led by former MLA Prahlad Gunjal. The gathering saw a significant presence of party leaders and workers, including Kota in-charge Pushpendra Bhardwaj.</p>
<h2>Leaders Address Farmer Concerns</h2>
<p>Addressing the party cadres, PCC General Secretary and Kota in-charge Pushpendra Bhardwaj expressed his privilege in being the in-charge for a region with strong leaders like Prahlad Gunjal. Bhardwaj highlighted Gunjal's consistent efforts to champion the cause of farmers, youth, and the poor, ensuring their voices are heard and justice is sought on various issues.</p>
<p>"Hadoti boasts the strongest Congress presence across Rajasthan," Bhardwaj stated, reassuring workers that "in the times to come, those who deserve respect will undoubtedly receive it."</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> The Hadoti region, often referred to as the 'rice bowl' of Rajasthan, relies heavily on canal irrigation for its agricultural output, making water availability crucial for its farmers.</div>
<p>Former MLA Prahlad Gunjal painted a grim picture of the farmers' plight. He remarked that while farmers hope for the government's support when nature is uncooperative, it seems both are currently turning a blind eye. "The dreams of Hadoti's farmers are shattering," Gunjal lamented, describing how farmers anxiously watch the sky, their eyes shedding tears for their uncertain future.</p>
<p>Gunjal pointed out that millions of hectares have been sown with paddy, yet farmers are constantly pleading for water. With no electricity for irrigation and no canal water, the farmers' cries for fertilizer, water, and electricity go unheard. He questioned whether Congress workers should not fulfill their duty to protest when the public suffers under government apathy.</p>
<p>Gunjal called upon Congress workers to unite with full force to make the July 28 protest a historic event, honoring the 'Annadata' (food provider) and addressing the critical issues of fertilizer and seed shortages, and the urgent need for canal water.</p>
<h2>Inadequate Water Release and Alleged Fertilizer Scam</h2>
<p>Regarding the canal water situation, Prahlad Gunjal described the currently released water for paddy irrigation as "a drop in the ocean." He reiterated that Hadoti, particularly Kota-Baran, is the 'rice bowl' and needs adequate water. Gunjal demanded that the government immediately provide sufficient water for irrigation.</p>
<p>Gunjal also exposed what he termed an "open loot" of farmers concerning fertilizer. He claimed that a 1300 rupee bag of fertilizer is unavailable unless farmers purchase an "attachment," effectively costing them 2400 rupees. He highlighted the apparent paradox where those unable to buy a single bag without attachment can purchase as many as they want with it.</p>
<p>"Why is this monopoly running in the fertilizer business?" Gunjal questioned, promising to reveal the individuals and connections behind this alleged scam at the upcoming protest.</p>
<p>The meeting also heard addresses from former MLA Poonam Goyal, State President of Sports Cell Amin Pathan, former District President Ravindra Tyagi, Hariprasad Meena, Anoop Thakur, Kushal Pal Singh, Gayatri Meena, Asrar Ahmed, Ashok Meena, Devendra Goyanda, Mrs. Pooja Singh, Dildar Ali, Hamid Gaur, Manoj Dubey, Hemant Tiwari, Mahendra Gurjar, Shalini Gautam, Tikam Suman, and Deepak Namdev. Hemant Chaturvedi conducted the proceedings. District Vice Presidents Balwinder Singh Billu, Manju Chaudhary, Vipin Barthunia, Himanshu Sharma, Manish Sharma, Prashant Saxena, Hirdesh Saxena, and other office bearers and workers from the city and rural district Congress Committee were present.</p>

<title>NEET UG 2026 Score Scandal: Kanpur Student&amp;apos;s Marks Plummet from 609 to 167, NTA Faces Allegations</title>

<media:keywords>NEET UG, NTA, Score Controversy, Student Complaint</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>NEET UG 2026 Results Under Scrutiny After Kanpur Student Alleges Major Score Fluctuation</h2>
<p>Kanpur is abuzz with fresh allegations surrounding the NEET UG 2026 re-exam results. A local student, Arya Singh, has openly challenged the National Testing Agency's (NTA) scoring process, claiming a shocking drop in her marks shortly after the results were declared.</p>
<p>Singh's case highlights a concerning discrepancy: her OMR sheet, she says, indicated a score of 609. However, the final result, upon initial checking, displayed 540 marks, only to plummet to a mere 167 just a couple of hours later. The student has now escalated the matter, filing a complaint with both the NTA and the Ministry of Education, demanding a thorough investigation.</p>
<h2>The OMR Sheet Discrepancy</h2>
<p>Arya detailed that her OMR sheet, uploaded on the NTA website on the night of July 13, initially had incorrect question sequencing. Despite this, cross-referencing her answers suggested an estimated score of 609 marks.</p>
<p>She promptly raised an objection on the NTA's challenge portal regarding the OMR sheet's question order. Following her complaint, the NTA released a revised OMR sheet. While the question sequence was corrected, Arya claims the marks remained inaccurate.</p>
<h2>A Dramatic Drop on Result Night</h2>
<p>The real shock came on the night of July 16, when the NEET UG results were officially published. Arya first checked her score around midnight, seeing 540 marks. Yet, when she re-checked approximately two hours later, her score had dropped significantly to 167.</p>
<p>This drastic change in such a short span has led her to question the integrity of the result system. Currently, the NTA website reflects her score as 167, placing her All India Rank at 12,52,036 and Category Rank at 3,67,585.</p>
<h2>Second Attempt, Second Allegation of Irregularity</h2>
<p>This isn't Arya's first brush with alleged result issues. She states that during her first NEET attempt in 2025, she encountered a similar problem. Lacking sufficient documentation and evidence at the time, she couldn't formally register a complaint.</p>
<p>This year, however, she has meticulously gathered her OMR sheet, result printouts, and other relevant documents. These have been submitted along with her complaint to the NTA and the Education Minister. Arya has vowed to take her grievance to the offices of the President, Prime Minister, and Chief Minister if her complaint goes unaddressed.</p>
<h2>Daughter of a Retired Army Veteran</h2>
<p>Arya Singh is the daughter of Rakesh Singh, a retired army veteran who served the nation for 24 years with the Rajputana Rifles, retiring in 2025. Her father's service included a posting in Jammu and Kashmir's Nowgam area. Her mother, Priyam Singh, is a homemaker, and her younger brother, Ayush, is pursuing a BA degree. Arya completed her 12th-grade education from Sardar Patel Academy in Kanpur.</p>

<media:keywords>UGC, Fee Refund, Admission Rules, Student Rights</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>UGC Brings Clarity to Admission Fee Refunds</h2>
<p>The University Grants Commission (UGC) has rolled out crucial regulations regarding fee refunds for students who withdraw their admissions from colleges and universities. This move comes as a significant relief for many, addressing a long-standing issue where institutions often withheld substantial amounts of fees upon cancellation.</p>
<p>If you've ever faced a situation where a college or university refused to refund your fees after an admission cancellation, these new UGC directives are essential to understand. They aim to standardize the process and protect students' financial interests.</p>
<h2>Understanding the Refund Timelines and Percentages</h2>
<p>Higher education institutions are now strictly required to adhere to these prescribed fee refund rules for the academic session. The guidelines outline a clear, tiered system for refunds based on the timing of the admission cancellation relative to the last admission date.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>100% Refund:</strong> If the admission is cancelled 15 days or more before the officially declared last date for admission.</li>
<li><strong>90% Refund:</strong> If the admission is cancelled within 15 days of the last admission date.</li>
<li><strong>80% Refund:</strong> If the admission is cancelled after 15 days but within 30 days of the last admission date.</li>
<li><strong>No Refund:</strong> No refund will be provided if the admission is cancelled 30 days after the last admission date.</li>
</ul>
<p>These rules ensure that students have a clear pathway to reclaim their fees, preventing arbitrary deductions by institutions. It’s a move designed to bring transparency and fairness to the admission ecosystem.</p>
<h2>Empowering Students with Clear Guidelines</h2>
<p>This directive from the UGC is a vital step towards safeguarding student welfare. It empowers prospective students to make informed decisions without the fear of losing their entire fee if they decide to pursue a different academic path or find a better opportunity elsewhere.</p>
<p>Students are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with these regulations. Knowing your rights can make a significant difference when navigating the admission process and dealing with fee-related matters.</p>
<h3>?️ Share Your Opinion!</h3>
<p>What are your thoughts on these new UGC fee refund rules? Do you think they will effectively help students?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[More than 15 years after the release of 3 Idiots, one claim continues to resurface—that the film's iconic character, Rancho (also known as Phunsukh Wangdu), was inspired by education reformer Sonam Wangchuk. Over the years, the belief has become so widespread that many now accept it as fact. However, statements made by the filmmakers and the available evidence suggest the connection may not be as straightforward as it appears. Why do people compare Rancho with Sonam Wangchuk? The comparison largely stems from a few noticeable similarities. Both Rancho and Sonam Wangchuk are engineers who have dedicated themselves to education, run innovative schools, and are closely associated with Ladakh. The character's real name in the film—Phunsukh Wangdu—has also led many viewers to draw parallels with Wangchuk. However, the similarities end there. For most of 3 Idiots, Rancho's journey is entirely fictional. He is portrayed as a brilliant student who attends an engineering college under the identity of a wealthy man's son. The story focuses on college life, friendship, academic pressure, and his criticism of the conventional education system. It is only in the film's final act that Rancho is revealed to be running a school in Ladakh—a detail that has fuelled comparisons with Sonam Wangchuk over the years. Timeline raises questions about the claim The timeline surrounding the film also raises doubts about the widely circulated claim. Records show that the script of 3 Idiots was registered with the Screenwriters Association on August 1, 2007. Publicly available information indicates that Aamir Khan and Sonam Wangchuk first met in April 2008, several months after the screenplay had already been registered. This chronology has led many to question how the character could have been based on Sonam Wangchuk if the script had already been completed before the two ever met. What did the filmmakers say? Both writer Abhijat Joshi and director-co-writer Rajkumar Hirani have addressed the issue in multiple interviews. According to them, the inspiration for Rancho came from a real-life incident involving a student at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). They revealed that the student had enrolled at the institute using another person's identity—not to earn a degree, but simply because he wanted to learn. The unusual incident inspired the central idea behind Rancho's character, rather than the life story of Sonam Wangchuk. Filmmakers denied any direct link to Sonam Wangchuk The makers of 3 Idiots have repeatedly maintained that Rancho was not based on Sonam Wangchuk. Writer Abhijat Joshi and director Rajkumar Hirani have said they never met Wangchuk while developing the film. Aamir Khan has also consistently stated that Rancho was not inspired by Wangchuk's life. No such claim during the film's promotion When 3 Idiots was released in 2009, neither its promotional campaign nor its trailers, press conferences or interviews described Rancho as being based on Sonam Wangchuk. Had the character officially been inspired by him, such a detail would likely have featured in the film's publicity. However, no such evidence exists in the public record. How did the comparison become popular? The association appears to have gained traction after the film's release. According to media reports, discussions in 2010 highlighted similarities between Rancho and Sonam Wangchuk, particularly among people in Ladakh. Early reports presented the resemblance as a possibility rather than a confirmed fact. Over the years, however, several media outlets, social media posts and public discussions began referring to Wangchuk as the "real-life Rancho." As the comparison was repeated, it gradually became accepted by many as fact. Questions still remain Despite the widespread belief, several questions remain unanswered. Did the filmmakers have any interaction with Sonam Wangchuk before writing the script? Did they ever visit his school or draw inspiration from his work? Was there any official statement in 2009 linking Rancho to Wangchuk? Based on the information currently available, the comparison between Rancho and Sonam Wangchuk appears to have evolved over time rather than being part of the film's original narrative or promotional campaign. While the two share certain similarities, there is no conclusive public evidence to establish that the character was directly based on Wangchuk's life.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Mumbai Police have launched an investigation after an alleged threat targeting actor Aamir Khan surfaced online following his reported third marriage. Security has been stepped up outside the actor's residence in Pali Hill, Bandra West, after a purported audio clip and social media post began circulating on Saturday. Aamir, however, is currently out of the country. According to a Hindustan Times report, police officials said they have not yet verified the authenticity of either the viral audio clip or the social media post. Confirming the development, Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti said the authorities are examining both to determine whether they are genuine. The alleged threat reportedly claimed to be linked to the Lawrence gang and surfaced shortly after reports of Aamir Khan's marriage to Gauri Spratt on July 5. The viral message also referred to the marriage using the term "love jihad." According to reports, a purported letter and audio message claiming to be from the Lawrence gang were circulated on social media. Police are investigating the origin and authenticity of both as part of the ongoing probe. People like Aamir Khan are promoting love jihad in our country, we will not tolerate it. A response will be given to this very soon. This thing is against our Sanatan Dharma and the country. Those who are promoting this in the name of stardom, we will choke them. Lawrence Gang's post also mentions the Sriganganagar incident apart from Aamir Aamir Khan responds to 'Love Jihad' allegations Following his reported third marriage, Aamir Khan faced criticism on social media, with some users accusing him of promoting "love jihad." Addressing the allegations in an interview with Rediff, the actor dismissed the claims and clarified that none of his marriages involved religious conversion. "None of my three wives converted their religion. All three were civil marriages. My third wife, Gauri, is a Christian, not a Hindu," Aamir said. He further pointed to his family's interfaith marriages to underline his stance. "My daughter Ira is married to a Hindu. Both my sisters, Nikhat Khan and Farhat Khan, are married to Hindu men. My cousin Mansoor is married to a Christian," he added. Aamir had his third marriage on July 5 Actor Aamir Khan and his partner Gauri Spratt got married on July 5. Both signed the marriage papers at Aamir's house in Pali Hill (Bandra), Mumbai. It was a private marriage ceremony, attended by members of both families and a few very close friends. The marriage was registered as a court marriage under the Special Marriage Act. Pictures of Aamir's wedding Marriage sparks political and religious reactions Aamir Khan's reported third marriage drew criticism from several political and religious figures. Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane questioned whether the actor was becoming the "brand ambassador of love jihad." Another Maharashtra minister, Sanjay Shirsat, said that while the marriage was Aamir's personal decision, such developments could have a broader impact on society. Several organisations, including the Bajrang Dal, also staged protests against the actor and burned his effigies. Protesters alleged that Aamir intentionally marries women from other faiths. Meanwhile, a religious ruling (fatwa) was reportedly issued in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. Royal Chief Mufti Maulana Chaudhary Ifrahim Hussain said that, under his interpretation of Islamic law, a Muslim man should not marry a non-Muslim woman who has not embraced Islam. He described such a marriage as religiously impermissible. Who is Gauri Spratt? Aamir Khan publicly confirmed his relationship with Gauri Spratt on his 60th birthday in 2025. A salon entrepreneur and fashion professional, Gauri was previously married and has a seven-year-old child. The couple have known each other for nearly 25 years. They were friends for a long time before their relationship turned romantic. Aamir's first marriage ended in 2002 Aamir Khan married Reena Dutta in 1986 after a love relationship. The couple were together for around 16 years and have two children, Junaid Khan and Ira Khan. They ended their marriage with a divorce in 2002. Second marriage with Kiran Rao, then divorce After divorcing Reena Dutta, director Kiran Rao entered Aamir Khan's life. They got married in 2005. From this marriage, they have a son, Azad, who was born through IVF. Aamir and Kiran announced their separation in July 2021, after 16 years of marriage. Is a Third Marriage Legal in India? A third marriage is not illegal under Indian law, provided the person's previous marriages have been legally dissolved before entering into a new one. If both earlier marriages ended through a legal divorce or because a spouse passed away, a third marriage is considered valid. However, marrying again without legally ending an existing marriage amounts to bigamy, which is a criminal offence. Under Section 82 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), such a marriage is void and can attract a prison term of up to seven years. An exception exists under Muslim Personal Law, which permits a Muslim man to have up to four wives under certain conditions. However, this exemption does not apply if the marriage is registered under the Special Marriage Act, where the law recognises only one spouse at a time, irrespective of religion. In Aamir Khan's case, he legally divorced his first wife, Reena Dutta, in 2002 and his second wife, Kiran Rao, in 2021. If reports of his marriage to Gauri Spratt are accurate, it would be legally valid as both previous marriages had already been dissolved.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>CBSE Declares Class 10 Second Board Exam Results for 2026</h2>
<p>New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has just announced the results for the Class 10 second board examination 2026. Students eager to check their performance can head over to the Digilocker result portal.</p>
<p>This year marked a significant shift, as the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 introduced the option for Class 10 students to appear for two board examinations. This initiative was designed to give students a chance to better their scores and ease the pressure of a single high-stakes exam. CBSE has clarified that for regular candidates, the better score from the two examinations will be considered as the final result.</p>
<h2>Thousands Seize Opportunity to Boost Marks</h2>
<p>According to CBSE, a total of 6,64,027 students registered for the second board examination, with 6,63,777 actually appearing. A large number of these students took the second exam specifically to improve upon their initial scores.</p>
<p>The numbers speak volumes: out of 5,13,955 students who attempted to improve their marks, an impressive 3,08,095 students – nearly 59.95 percent – performed better than their main examination results. This clearly shows the positive impact of having a second chance.</p>
<h3>Compartment Category Sees Improvement Too</h3>
<p>The second board exam also saw 1,49,822 students from the compartment category take the test. A good chunk of them, 78,503 students, were successful, bringing the pass percentage for this group to 52.40 percent. This is a notable rise from the 48.68 percent recorded in the compartment category last year in 2025.</p>
<p>Bringing together the results from both the main and second board examinations, CBSE reported that the overall Class 10 pass percentage for this year stands at a strong 96.78 percent. The board believes this two-exam system has effectively reduced student stress and offered a valuable opportunity for improvement.</p>
<h3>Accessing Your Documents</h3>
<p>Students can access their results directly on the Digilocker result portal. Schools will receive students' results and digital academic documents via their registered email IDs. Regular students will get their mark sheets and passing certificates through their respective schools.</p>
<p>For CBSE-affiliated schools abroad, students can also access their digital documents via Digilocker. Private candidates will find their digital documents on Digilocker, while their mark sheets will be mailed to their registered addresses. Private students from Delhi East and Delhi West regional offices also have the option to collect their certificates from their examination centers.</p>
<h3>Beware of Unofficial Information</h3>
<p>CBSE has urged students and parents to stay clear of unverified social media posts, rumors, or any unofficial information related to the results. The board emphasized that all official announcements regarding results and post-result services, like re-evaluation, will only be issued through CBSE's authorized channels. For any assistance or information, students can reach out to CBSE's regional offices and tele-helpline.</p>
<h3>?️ Share Your Opinion!</h3>
<p>Do you think having two board exams is a better approach for students' academic and mental well-being?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Congress Calls for Ajmer Bandh Over Anasagar Lake Crisis</h2>
<p>Ajmer is set to observe a complete bandh on Friday, July 24, following a strong call by the Ajmer City District Congress Committee. The protest, spearheaded by Committee President Dr. Rajkumar Jaipal, aims to spotlight the alarming condition of Anasagar Lake and the alleged negligence of the local administration.</p>
<p>According to Congress District President Dr. Jaipal, the iconic Anasagar Lake is currently in a deplorable state, emitting a pervasive foul odor. This deteriorating situation has raised serious concerns among residents, with fears of a significant health crisis looming over the city due to what they describe as administrative apathy.</p>
<h2>Community Support for the Movement</h2>
<p>In a bid to amplify their voice, the Ajmer City District Congress Committee has appealed to a broad spectrum of local organizations for their support. Social, trade, religious, and civic bodies across the city have been urged to join this public movement and ensure the bandh's success.</p>
<p>The committee emphasizes that this is a collective effort to pressure authorities into taking immediate and effective measures to restore the lake's health and safeguard public well-being.</p>
<h2>Essential Services to Operate Normally</h2>
<p>While the bandh aims to bring the city to a standstill in protest, critical services will operate without disruption. The organizers have made it clear that essential facilities are exempt from the shutdown.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hospitals</li>
<li>Medical Stores</li>
<li>Ambulance Services</li>
<li>Other vital necessities</li>
</ul>
<p>These services will continue to function normally, ensuring that citizens' immediate health and safety needs are not compromised during the protest. The focus remains squarely on highlighting the environmental and public health concerns surrounding Anasagar Lake.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Elite Force Veteran Faces Drug Trafficking Charges</h2>
<p>In a startling development, a former commando from India's elite National Security Guard (NSG) has been apprehended on serious charges of drug smuggling. The individual, whose past service was with one of the nation's premier anti-terror units, is now accused of orchestrating a narcotics operation, reportedly utilizing his periods of leave to transport illegal consignments.</p>
<p>This case has sent ripples through security circles, highlighting a disturbing breach of trust and the potential for individuals with specialized training to engage in organized crime.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>RLP Chief Hanuman Beniwal Removes Security, Cites 'Conspiracy' Over Ill Police Deployment</h2>
<p>Nagaur MP and Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) supremo Hanuman Beniwal announced on Saturday that he has removed the police personnel assigned to his security detail. Beniwal claims that officials managing police affairs in Nagaur are consistently deploying officers suffering from serious illnesses for his protection.</p>
<p>He alleges this not only compromises his security but also represents a deliberate attempt to damage his public image. Beniwal has formally written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, urging their intervention in the matter.</p>
<h3>Beniwal's Allegations: A Deeper Look</h3>
<p>In his letter to the Chief Minister and Home Minister, Beniwal has leveled serious accusations against the Nagaur police administration. He stated this isn't just about his personal safety, but a grave issue concerning democratic values and the security of public representatives.</p>
<p>Beniwal claims that officials overseeing police operations and responsible personnel at the Reserve Police Line in Nagaur, a district currently without a Police Superintendent (SP), are intentionally assigning seriously ill police officers to his security. He suspects a larger conspiracy behind this, aiming to hold him responsible for any untoward incident or health deterioration of a police officer, thereby tarnishing his public image.</p>
<h3>Specific Incidents Highlighted</h3>
<p>Beniwal's letter details three recent and concerning incidents. On July 11, Constable Sunil Bishnoi, who was part of his security and suffered from a severe neurological condition, suddenly fell ill in Jaipur. Beniwal personally took him to Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital late at night.</p>
<p>Just days later, on July 15, Constable Balbir Gurjar's health deteriorated while returning from Jaipur. He was referred from Nagaur to AIIMS Jodhpur, where doctors suspected he was suffering from a pre-existing heart condition. Beniwal also noted that a third constable, Sitaram, assigned to his security on Saturday, was also visibly unwell.</p>
<p>"I do not wish to put any sick police personnel's health at risk," Beniwal stated, explaining his decision to immediately send the assigned personnel back to the Reserve Police Line.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> In India, the security provided to VIPs like MPs is typically determined by intelligence agencies based on threat perceptions, ranging from X to Z+ categories, involving varying numbers of police and commando personnel.</div>
<h3>Questions Over Withdrawn Security</h3>
<p>The MP has also raised sharp questions regarding a reduction in his security detail. His letter mentions that based on prior security-related intelligence inputs from the Rajasthan Police's Intelligence wing, he was previously provided with a police escort and armed commandos. However, this additional security was abruptly withdrawn without any prior notice or explanation.</p>
<p>Beniwal questioned the government: "If there were serious threat inputs concerning my security at that time, what is the current status of those inputs? Will the government provide me with official information on this, or is my security being deliberately neglected?"</p>
<h3>Allegations of Political Influence and Demand for Probe</h3>
<p>Beniwal asserts that he had informed the Director General of Police (DGP) and Additional Director General (ADG - Intelligence) of Rajasthan Police about the entire situation and the negligence in his security via phone. Despite this, no corrective measures were taken at the district level.</p>
<p>He claims that certain police officers stationed in Nagaur are operating under political influence rather than fulfilling their impartial administrative duties, thereby compromising his security. Beniwal has urged both the central and state governments to conduct an impartial investigation into the entire matter, take strict action against the responsible officers, and review his security arrangements afresh.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Major Relief for India's Solar Sector as DCR Mandate Eased</h2>
<p>Jaipur/New Delhi: In a significant move set to energize India's renewable energy landscape, the Central government has provided a crucial six-month reprieve for the solar sector. The mandate for Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) modules has been temporarily withdrawn, a decision widely welcomed by both consumers and companies.</p>
<p>This means that until December 31, 2026, net metering and open access solar projects can proceed with commissioning even if they use non-DCR modules. The move is expected to unlock thousands of rooftop and commercial solar installations that have been stuck in limbo.</p>
<h2>Prices Set to Drop as Supply Constraints Ease</h2>
<p>The DCR module shortage had caused significant price hikes in recent months. A typical 3-kilowatt domestic solar system, for instance, saw its cost increase by approximately ₹35,000 to ₹40,000. With this new relief, industry experts anticipate a cost reduction of around ₹12,000 per kilowatt.</p>
<p>This direct benefit will extend to beneficiaries of the ambitious Prime Minister Surya Ghar Yojana, making solar energy more accessible and affordable for households nationwide. Solar companies, which had struggled with supply chain issues and escalating costs, will also see immediate advantages.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> India's installed solar capacity has grown exponentially, reaching over 70 GW by early 2024, demonstrating the nation's commitment to clean energy and its vast potential.</div>
<p>Across the country, including states like Rajasthan, countless projects were stalled due to the limited availability of DCR modules. The industry has lauded the government's decision as immediate and necessary relief, though many are also calling for more permanent and practical long-term solutions to ensure sustained growth.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hundreds of employees staged a protest at a garment manufacturing company owned by Anand Ahuja, businessman and husband of Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor, in Haryana's Faridabad on Saturday. Workers stopped work and gathered outside the factory, demanding that the company restore the 20% annual bonus, which they claim has been reduced to 8%. As the protest intensified, the company called in the police. Despite efforts by officers to persuade the workers to return to work, employees refused, saying they would resume duties only after their bonus demand is met. The company, Shahi Exports, located in Sector 28, manufactures and exports women's garments and employs around 6,000 workers, including a large number of women. Protest continues for second day The demonstration began on Friday and continued into its second day, with around 200 male and female employees gathering in a park outside the factory. Several women workers also staged a sit-in near the company's main gate. The protesters allege that the company has been steadily reducing employee benefits while prioritising its own financial gains. Workers allege bonus cuts since COVID-19 Santosh, a sewing machine operator who has worked at the factory for several years, said the company began reducing employee bonuses after the COVID-19 pandemic. "Earlier, we received a 20% bonus, but it has now been reduced to 8%. At a time when inflation is rising, our bonus is continuously being cut," she said. Another employee, Suman, claimed that the reduction has resulted in an annual loss of nearly ₹30,000 for her. "The company has cut the bonus by 12 percentage points. Even last year's bonus was reduced. When we came to protest today, company representatives threatened to call our family members and file cases against us," she alleged. Employees accuse company of double standards The protesting workers alleged that while the bonuses of lower-level employees have been reduced, the salaries and benefits of senior company officials have continued to increase. According to the employees, the management had proposed reducing bonuses soon after the COVID-19 period, a move that workers had rejected at the time following protests. They claim the company has now implemented the cuts again despite their opposition. Police say situation is under control Police reached the factory after receiving information about the protest and attempted to mediate between the workers and the management. Police spokesperson Yashpal said the employees had stopped work over their demands and confirmed that officers were present at the site. "The employees have stopped working over their demands. Police reached the spot after receiving information. The situation is currently under control," he said.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actress Swara Bhasker recently joined the protest at Jantar Mantar in support of Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike and the Campaign for Justice and Peace (CJP). During the protest, she strongly criticised the Central government, accusing it of creating an atmosphere of fear. Speaking to The Lallantop, Swara claimed that many celebrities have chosen to remain silent because they fear facing the same consequences she did for speaking out. "They are not coming because they have seen what happened to me. They know that if they speak up, the same thing could happen to them. The situation in 2010-11 was different. The government may have had its flaws and may have been involved in corruption, but it has gone much further. People, activists and students have been kept in jail for years without bail, without trials, and without any valid reason," she said. Further, Swara said, 'This is a government where 84-year-old Father Stan Swamy died in jail. Who will be responsible? That era was different; whatever corruption there was, citizens had the right to make demands, without such unjust punishment. I say this government is shameless, naked in its arrogance, naked in its impudence.' Regarding the silence of celebrities, Swara has said, 'I am not some Bollywood class monitor. But I would like to say one thing. Don't trust celebrities so much. Celebrities are not essential. The cause itself is essential. All these people who are working hard, they are essential in themselves. They don't need celebrities. I haven't come here as a celebrity. I have come here as a citizen and a mother, because I feel that this protest is also important for my daughter. I don't want to be forced to shift to Dubai with a Golden Visa. My daughter should grow up in this country and get the opportunities that I got.' These celebs have joined the protest Apart from Swara Bhaskar, popular actor Prakash Raj and Roadies host Raghu have also joined the protest of Cockroach Janata Party. Apart from these, many celebs are supporting the protest through social media. Sonakshi Sinha, Zeenat Aman, Omi Vaidya, Soni Razdan, Samay Raina and many other celebs have shared posts about the protest. Aamir Khan said - I am concerned for them During the screening of the film Lagaan at the London Indian Film Festival, Aamir Khan expressed concern while talking about Sonam Wangchuk's fast. Kiran Rao supported the Cockroach Janata Party Before Aamir Khan, his ex-wife Kiran Rao supported Sonam Wangchuk. She wrote on social media, 'I stand in solidarity with Sonam Wangchuk, Abhijeet Dipke, CJP, and all citizens of this country, young and old, who are raising their voices for the rights of our students. My salute to Sonam ji, Neha, Manish, Amin, and all those who have started a hunger strike to ensure justice. We should be grateful that you woke us up from our indifference and reminded us that every voice matters.' Omi Vaidya, who played Chatur in 3 Idiots, said - I don't want them to die On the 16th day of Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike, Omi Vaidya, who played the character of Chatur Ramalingam in '3 Idiots', released a video saying, 'I don't often make such videos, so listen carefully to what I have to say. Did you know that Aamir Khan's character, Phunsukh Wangdu, in 3 Idiots was inspired by real-life Ladakhi engineer, innovator, educator, and social reformer Sonam Wangchuk? I have met him. He is a very interesting and simple person. He has done many great things in his life. So I would ask you to learn about him and see what he is doing right now. Currently, Sonam Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike for a long time. Several weeks have passed and his blood sugar has dropped significantly.' This is a very serious matter. Why is he on a hunger strike? Because he is concerned about India's education system, some issues related to Ladakh, and the environment. Whether you agree with him or not, I just want to say that I don't want this person to die. For me, he is an inspiring person and I want him to be safe and alive. Sonakshi said - It's no longer possible to remain silent Actress Sonakshi Sinha shared a video on Instagram, stating that the youth of the country are raising their voices, but a dialogue on this issue is not starting. She said that she is also a youth of the country and wishes for the country's well-being, which is why she decided to express her views publicly. She also said, "I just want to ask when will this be enough? When these people die, will you wake up then? And whose responsibility will this be? What is happening is not right. That's all I want to say." Shatrughan Sinha appealed to Narendra Modi After Sonakshi's video came out, Shatrughan Sinha praised her for speaking out openly and appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address the issue in a post. He wrote, 'In the last few days, many political leaders, political parties, well-known personalities, artists, social media influencers, and social workers from India and abroad have raised their voices in his support. Considering Sonam Wangchuk's serious health condition, there is an appeal to the government, concerned officials, our Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to intervene immediately, take appropriate action on his demands, and resolve this movement as soon as possible. Save Wangchuk!' Further, praising Sonakshi, he wrote, 'The pride of my family and my dear daughter Sonakshi Sinha has made me even prouder today by expressing her opinion on this issue openly and fearlessly.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ashwin Varde, the producer of the film 'OMG-2', has broken his silence on actor Paresh Rawal's allegations. Ashwin has called Paresh's claims completely false and baseless. Recently, Paresh Rawal had alleged in a podcast that he had written 'Oh My God 2', but was not given credit for it. Retaliating, Ashwin said that Paresh Rawal wanted to make this script under a different name and wanted to keep Akshay Kumar away from this project. Ashwin has put the entire story before everyone. 'Paresh wanted to make the film by changing its name' According to Ashwin Varde, the copyright and intellectual property (IP) rights of the film 'OMG' belong solely to Akshay Kumar. Writer Amit Rai had written the original script for 'OMG-2'. Paresh Rawal wanted to make this script under a different name to completely keep Akshay Kumar away from this project. Ashwin has directly called Paresh's attempt script theft and unethical work, because he wanted to use the format of Akshay Kumar's film without his permission. Other actors in the film industry also refused to work in it precisely because they knew it was Akshay Kumar's film and it would be wrong to make it without his permission. Attempt to keep Akshay Kumar away To prevent this theft and secure the script, Ashwin Varde's company bought its rights from Amit Rai. After this, when Ashwin told Paresh Rawal that ethically, he would first show this script to Akshay Kumar, Paresh insisted that the film should not be made under the name 'OMG'. Despite much persuasion from Akshay Kumar and Ashwin, Paresh Rawal was not ready to work in the film and he separated from the film. Despite this, upon the film's release, Paresh Rawal was given producer credit in the name of his wife and business partner, without any contribution from him, and his full fee was also paid. Ashwin clarified that he did not cheat Paresh, but rather prevented him from doing an unethical act. The film's director also got angry at Paresh OMG-2 director and writer Amit Rai has also completely rejected Paresh Rawal's claims. Amit clarified that everything from the film's story, script, concept, and character design was written by him. This entire work is registered in his name with the Screenwriters Association, and every draft bears the Association's seal. Questioning Paresh Rawal's career, he said that throughout his journey, there isn't a single film that he conceived and gave to someone to make. Amit expressed surprise, asking why Paresh Rawal is making these statements with malicious intent three years after the film's release, especially when he and his partner were clearly given producer credit at the beginning of the film. OMG-2 I wrote, wasn't even given credit Amidst the dispute with Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal has claimed that he himself wrote the script for the film Oh My God 2, but later it was changed and he was not even given credit. When Vicky Lalwani asked Paresh Rawal in an interview why he didn't do the film Oh My God 2, he said- 'I did Road to Sangam with Amit Rai (Director). I am his fan. So I asked him if he had thought of doing something else. I told him that I have an idea, let's do it together.' The idea was that a boy was caught masturbating, his video went viral, and he became a laughing stock. His father is a tourist guide in Khajuraho. But Amit also thought of showing the father as a priest of Mahakal. I sat with a sexologist friend for 5 hours each to discuss this, so that the idea wouldn't appear vulgar. Wanted to cast Salman and Ajay Further, Paresh Rawal said, Then we added a character of a biker or a vendor who would come for 4-5 scenes in between and leave after imparting knowledge. I went to Ajay Devgn for the biker's role, and also to Salman Khan. If I had gone to Akshay, it would have seemed like 'Oh My God 2' was being made. I also went to Vipul Shah, and a meeting took place. Later, I received a call from Amit saying that there was a slight problem. I asked, 'What happened?', to which he said, 'They are interested in this film.' When asked who, he said - 'Akshay wants to do the film.' Further, Paresh Rawal said, 'Amit unknowingly or foolishly wrote OMG 2 on this script. Whereas we had to do an out-of-the-box idea like Oh My God, this was not OMG 2. They took the script from Amit. I told Amit that this is not a franchise. But I cannot fight with you.' Akshay wanted Paresh Rawal to do the film Paresh Rawal revealed that Akshay came to him and asked him to do the film, but he refused. On this, Paresh Rawal said- 'If it were a sequel, I would have definitely done the film, taken a lot of money, and also taken credit for the story. Sadly, I didn't even get credit for the story. I am not a storyteller, but it wasn't even credited that the idea for the story was Paresh's.' Paresh further stated that Akshay Kumar knew he wrote the story. Karan Johar also knows, Somen Mishra, Ashwin Varde also know. Salman Khan also knew. Amit Rai directed OMG 2 After Paresh Rawal withdrew from the film, the film based on his script was directed by Amit Rai. The story credit was also given to Amit Rai. Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam played the lead roles in it. This film was released in 2023 and was a hit, which is a sequel to the 2012 film OMG. The Censor Board had made several changes to the film.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has become one of the most anticipated films of the year, with excitement reaching far beyond regular movie buzz. Even before its theatrical release, the film has broken booking records, driven up ticket prices, and inspired fans to go to extraordinary lengths just to watch it in the best possible format. One of the most talked-about stories comes from California, where a devoted fan revealed that she planned her second pregnancy around the film's release. She shared that she delayed going to the hospital so she wouldn't miss her pre-booked IMAX 70mm screening, for which she had also planned a three-hour drive. Her story quickly went viral and became a symbol of the massive anticipation surrounding Nolan's latest project. The excitement isn't limited to the US. Fans across several countries have reportedly travelled long distances, booked flights and waited in virtual queues for hours after ticketing platforms experienced heavy traffic. In some places, premium IMAX tickets are even being resold at significantly higher prices. The Odyssey outpaces Oppenheimer in India India has also witnessed an overwhelming response to the film. According to trade reports, The Odyssey has already sold around 1.5 lakh advance tickets, comfortably surpassing the booking pace of Nolan's Oscar-winning Oppenheimer, which had sold nearly 65,000 tickets during the same period before its release. Despite premium ticket prices, audiences continue to book shows rapidly, making it one of the biggest Hollywood releases of the year in the country. Why watching ‘Troy’ first may help Since The Odyssey is based on the legendary Greek epic by Homer, some viewers may find it useful to revisit the events that precede the story. The 2004 historical drama Troy, starring Brad Pitt, tells the story of the Trojan War, while The Odyssey follows the aftermath of the war, focusing on King Odysseus and his long journey back to his kingdom of Ithaca. Watching Troy isn't essential, but it can provide useful background about: Understanding these events can make Nolan's adaptation easier to follow and add more emotional depth to the story. Why are fans being asked to arrive early? Unlike an ordinary movie outing, many fans are treating The Odyssey as a special cinematic event. Experts recommend reaching the theatre at least 30 minutes before the show because: A star-studded cast The film follows Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, as he battles mythical creatures, dangerous seas, and countless obstacles while trying to reunite with his family after the Trojan War. The cast includes: The ensemble makes The Odyssey one of Christopher Nolan's biggest productions to date. Christopher Nolan's connection with India goes beyond his fan following. Parts of The Odyssey were reportedly filmed at Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, one of Rajasthan's most iconic heritage sites. The fort's towering sandstone walls and dramatic landscape were chosen to recreate portions of the ancient world depicted in Homer's epic. Nolan has also filmed in India before, his 2012 blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises featured several sequences shot in Mumbai, including the city's bustling streets and landmarks, making India a recurring visual backdrop in his filmmaking journey. A Film made for the biggest screen One of the biggest highlights of the project is that The Odyssey has been filmed entirely using IMAX cameras, making it a visually immersive experience designed specifically for large-format screens. With record-breaking bookings, sold-out shows and fans planning major life events around its release, The Odyssey has already established itself as one of the biggest cinematic events of 2026, even before its first public screening.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Oscar-winning Irish actress Brenda Fricker, best known for her acclaimed performance in My Left Foot and her memorable role as the Pigeon Lady in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, has died at the age of 81. Her agent confirmed that she passed away peacefully in Dublin after a period of ill health. Fricker made history in 1990 by becoming the first Irish woman to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She received the honour for portraying Bridget Fagan Brown, the determined mother of Christy Brown, in My Left Foot, opposite Daniel Day-Lewis, who also won an Oscar for the film. Over a career spanning six decades, Fricker appeared in more than 90 films and television productions. Apart from My Left Foot and Home Alone 2, she was known for her performances in Casualty, A Time to Kill, Angels in the Outfield, and Veronica Guerin. Behind her successful career, however, was a life marked by immense personal hardship. In her 2025 memoir, She Died Young: A Life in Fragments, Fricker revealed that she had survived sexual abuse, two rapes, a miscarriage, the loss of her womb, and years of mental health struggles. She said revisiting those painful memories while writing the book was emotionally difficult, as they were experiences she had long tried to leave behind. Tributes have poured in following her death. Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris described her as a "national treasure," while her agent Phil Belfield said, "We will never see her like again," remembering her as an extraordinary talent whose performances touched audiences across the world.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[While several Bollywood celebrities have expressed support for the Cockroach Janata Party, actress Shweta Tiwari has taken a contrasting stand. Criticising the group, she alleged that it is using education reformer Sonam Wangchuk to further its own agenda. In a post shared on her official Instagram account, Shweta wrote, “Sonam Wangchuk is fighting for a genuine and deeply important cause—education and the future of our children. His mission deserves respect, and the government should seriously consider the concerns he has raised.” Shweta further clarified that her support was solely for Sonam Wangchuk and not for the Cockroach Janata Party. In her Instagram post, she wrote, "I also want to make it clear that I am neither associated with nor support the Cockroach Janata Party. I disagree with the way they are handling this issue. In my opinion, they are using Sonam Wangchuk's movement to advance their own political agenda, and I cannot support that." She added, "My support is only for Sonam Wangchuk and the cause he is fighting for—not for any political party or organisation seeking to gain from his movement." Vivek Oberoi faces backlash over his response Actor Vivek Oberoi also found himself at the centre of the debate after being asked about Sonam Wangchuk's ongoing hunger strike. Instead of commenting on the issue, he said, "I'm an actor, not a political leader. I don't pay much attention to political matters." His response drew criticism on social media, with many accusing him of avoiding the question. At the same time, several Bollywood personalities have publicly voiced their support for Sonam Wangchuk and the Cockroach Janata Party. Aamir Khan says he is concerned Speaking during the screening of Lagaan at the London Indian Film Festival, Aamir Khan expressed concern over Sonam Wangchuk's health and ongoing fast, saying he was worried about him. Kiran Rao extends her support Before Aamir's remarks, filmmaker Kiran Rao had also backed Sonam Wangchuk and the Cockroach Janata Party. In a social media post, she wrote that she stood in solidarity with Sonam Wangchuk, Abhijeet Dipke, the Cockroach Janata Party, and everyone raising their voice for students' rights. She praised those participating in the hunger strike and thanked them for reminding people that every voice matters and that citizens should not remain indifferent to issues affecting education and justice. Omi Vaidya appeals for support Actor Omi Vaidya, best known for playing Chatur Ramalingam in 3 Idiots, also appealed to the public during the 16th day of Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike. In a video message, Omi reminded viewers that Aamir Khan's character Phunsukh Wangdu in 3 Idiots was inspired by Sonam Wangchuk, whom he described as an innovator, educator, engineer, and social reformer from Ladakh. "I've met him. He's an incredibly humble and inspiring person who has contributed so much. I urge everyone to learn about his work and understand what he's fighting for today," Omi said. He also expressed concern over Wangchuk's deteriorating health, noting that after weeks of fasting, his blood sugar levels had dropped significantly.
 Omi went on to say, "This is an extremely serious issue. He's risking his health because he's deeply concerned about India's education system, the future of Ladakh, and environmental protection. Whether you agree with his views or not, I only hope that he stays safe. He's an inspiring individual, and I don't want anything to happen to him." Sonakshi Sinha Says It's Time to Speak Up Actress Sonakshi Sinha also voiced her support by sharing a video on Instagram. She said that while young people across the country are speaking up, there has been no meaningful dialogue on the issues being raised. Calling herself one of the country's youth, Sonakshi said she felt compelled to speak because she cares about India's future. In the video, she questioned the continued silence around the matter, saying, “I just want to ask—when will enough be enough? Will people only wake up after these protesters lose their lives? And if that happens, who will take responsibility? What's happening isn't right, and I couldn't stay silent any longer.” Fatima Sana Shaikh calls for dialogue Actress Fatima Sana Shaikh also voiced her support on social media, noting that it had been 19 days since Sonam Wangchuk began his hunger strike. She said no one should have to wait so long just to have their concerns heard. Fatima added that someone like Sonam Wangchuk, who has made significant contributions to the country, should not be forced to risk his health to draw attention to important issues. She stressed that, regardless of political differences, safeguarding the future of students should remain a priority. Expressing hope for a peaceful resolution, she urged the authorities to engage in dialogue and wished for Wangchuk's good health while calling on people to support a better future for the country's youth. Comedian Samay Raina also shared Sonam Wangchuk's picture and wrote that he hopes and prays that Wangchuk remains safe and that a solution to this entire matter is found soon through dialogue. Surendra Sharma appealed to Sonam Wangchuk Poet Surendra Sharma released a video message addressed to Sonam Wangchuk. He made an emotional appeal to Wangchuk to end his fast unto death. Sharma said that the country needs leadership like Sonam Wangchuk, and therefore, one should not risk their life for the resignation of a minister. He said that the country is bigger than any single resignation, and millions of youth today consider Wangchuk their voice. Sharma said that if anything happened to him, the hopes of the youth would be shattered. Finally, he appealed to Wangchuk to end his fast in the national interest and continue the struggle. More celebrities rally behind Sonam Wangchuk Several other film personalities have also extended their support to Sonam Wangchuk's campaign. Actors Soni Razdan, Shabana Azmi, Rubina Dilaik, Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap have shared messages backing his cause on social media. Actress Swara Bhasker visited Jantar Mantar to meet Wangchuk in person and express her solidarity. Actor Prakash Raj had also earlier visited the protest site to lend his support. Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike enters day 20 Sonam Wangchuk is currently on the 20th day of his hunger strike, which he joined as part of the Cockroach Janata Party's protest demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET paper leak. As the protest continues, an increasing number of Bollywood celebrities have come forward to publicly support Wangchuk and his movement.]]> </content:encoded>

In the photo, Vicky is seen lovingly embracing Katrina as they celebrate with their family. Sharing the picture, Vicky captioned it, "Jaan ka Janamdin," a heartfelt tribute to his wife. The couple opted for a low-key celebration at home. Katrina is seen holding a slice of birthday cake with a bright smile, while the room is decorated with white and gold balloons and a "Happy Birthday" banner. Keeping it simple yet elegant, Katrina wore a blue denim dress, while Vicky chose a white shirt paired with dark trousers. Son Vihaan was born last November
Katrina and Vicky became parents to a son last November. Both had shared this information with fans by posting on social media. After this, on January 7, 2026, they revealed their son's name. They have named their son Vihaan Kaushal. This was Katrina's first birthday after becoming a mother. Vicky once proposed to Katrina in front of Salman Khan Karan Johar played cupid in Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif's love story. During an episode of Koffee with Karan, Karan asked Katrina which actor she would like to work with next. She surprised everyone by saying Vicky Kaushal's name. Later, when Karan shared this with Vicky on the show, the actor reacted dramatically by clutching his chest and pretending to faint. The moment that grabbed everyone's attention came at the 2019 Star Screen Awards, where Vicky playfully proposed to Katrina on stage in the presence of Salman Khan. Referring to the ongoing wedding season, Vicky joked, "I'm a huge fan of yours. It's wedding season, so why don't you find a Vicky Kaushal and get married?" He then turned to Katrina and asked, "Will you marry me?" Smiling, Katrina replied, "I don't have the courage." The proposal became one of the most talked-about moments of the evening, especially because it happened in the presence of Salman Khan, whose reactions quickly went viral. At the time, most people dismissed it as light-hearted banter during an awards show, but it wasn't long before Vicky and Katrina began making frequent public appearances together.

Although Katrina later deleted her post, fans had already connected the dots, making it one of the biggest clues about their relationship before they made it official. The pictures soon went viral and their relationship became official. Then reports came that the couple had their Roka ceremony at director Kabir Khan's house.

Now, she has shared an old video with her children and written that trauma has taken everything from her. Celina Jaitly shared an old video of herself having fun with her children from her official Instagram account and wrote, People call me strong, but the truth is that pain and trauma never made me strong. They broke me again and again, so many times that one day I had no choice but to learn to put myself back together. And whenever I feel like I've recovered, an old wound starts to bleed again.' Further, she wrote, 'Past moments suddenly return. The heart fills with the same pain again, as if it's about to break again. Then I stop. I move a little away from the noise. I distance myself from my pain for a few moments, not to escape, but to preserve myself.' 'I gather my scattered pieces again, take a deep breath, and once again begin the attempt to heal myself. Often, people say, "Your pain has become your strength." I just smile, because the truth is completely different from that. Trauma did not make me strong. It broke me, took a lot from me. It inflicted wounds that no one can see. And I had to mourn those versions of myself that will never fully return.' At the end of the emotional post, Celina wrote, If today people praise my strength, it is not a gift of pain. That strength is my own. Every time, after every breakdown, the decision to pick myself up again was mine. The decision to stand in front of every darkness that wanted to erase me was mine. Perhaps the strongest people are not those who never break. The strongest are those who, despite breaking repeatedly, decide to put themselves back together, manage, and live every single time. Know what Celina Jaitly's full controversy is Celina reached the grave of her late son Celina, who went to Austria in May for a divorce hearing, cried inconsolably while visiting the grave of her late son Shamsher (Haag). She shared a video on social media and wrote, 'I had no other way left but to show the world my pain as a mother, so I had to share this heartbreaking video. I was in Austria for my divorce hearing. Despite the promise made in the Austrian court, my children, who had been taken to a secret location, were not brought back home.' Now, Celina has demanded ₹50 crore as compensation. Mumbai Police has registered a case under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. Police say that Peter is not cooperating with the investigation, which is why a lookout circular has been issued against him to keep an eye on him. Currently, Celina is trying to regain custody of her children by fighting a legal battle in India. She also alleged that her husband incited their children against Hinduism and prevented her from meeting them.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rajasthan Paper Leaks: Rajendra Rathore Points to Coaching 'Guaranteed Batches'</h2>
<p>Jaipur, Rajasthan — The persistent issue of paper leaks in Rajasthan's competitive examinations has once again drawn sharp criticism, with BJP leader Rajendra Rathore placing the blame squarely on coaching institutes. He specifically called out those offering "guaranteed selection" batches, suggesting they are a major contributor to the widespread fraud.</p>
<p>Rathore, speaking to reporters, highlighted how these 'guaranteed' programs often foster a culture where illicit means might be explored to ensure student success. This, he argued, directly undermines the integrity of the examination system and the aspirations of honest candidates.</p>
<h3>NCRB Data Paints a Concerning Picture</h3>
<p>Adding weight to his accusations, Rathore cited alarming data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). He revealed that Rajasthan currently ranks third across the nation in the number of paper leak cases.</p>
<p>This statistic is a stark reminder of the depth of the problem. It not only erodes public trust in government recruitment processes but also casts a shadow over the credibility of educational institutions in the state.</p>
<h3>Call for Stronger Action</h3>
<p>The BJP leader didn't stop at just identifying the problem. He also criticized the previous Congress government's handling of the issue, suggesting their measures were insufficient to tackle the deep-rooted corruption.</p>
<p>Rathore stressed the urgent need for the current administration to implement robust legislation and stricter enforcement mechanisms. The goal, he stated, is to safeguard the future of thousands of young aspirants who dedicate years to preparing for these crucial exams.</p>
<p>The ongoing struggle against paper leaks remains a significant challenge for Rajasthan. Ensuring a level playing field and transparent examination processes is paramount for the state's youth and its future.</p>
<h3>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>What did Rajendra Rathore blame for the paper leaks?</strong><br>Rajendra Rathore blamed coaching institutes offering "guaranteed selection" batches for contributing significantly to the paper leak problem in Rajasthan.</li>
<li><strong>What was Rajasthan's ranking in paper leak cases according to NCRB data?</strong><br>According to the NCRB data cited by Rajendra Rathore, Rajasthan ranks third nationally in the number of paper leak cases.</li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rajasthan Pioneers Dual Medium Education in Mahatma Gandhi Schools</h2>
<p>In a significant move set to broaden educational access and choice, the Rajasthan government has introduced Hindi medium alongside English in 346 Mahatma Gandhi Government Schools. This initiative allows students to select their preferred language of instruction, marking a pivotal moment for the state's education sector.</p>
<p>Previously, these institutions primarily operated under an English medium curriculum. The recent decision to integrate Hindi medium reflects a commitment to catering to a wider demographic of students and parents who prefer native language instruction.</p>
<h2>Expanding Choices for Students and Parents</h2>
<p>The introduction of a dual-medium system directly addresses the diverse linguistic needs across Rajasthan. Families now have the flexibility to enroll their children in schools that offer both English and Hindi streams, ensuring education is more accessible and culturally relevant.</p>
<p>This expansion is expected to alleviate the pressure on students who may struggle with English as their primary language of instruction, enabling them to grasp concepts more effectively in their mother tongue while still having the option for English proficiency.</p>
<h2>Impact on Rajasthan's Educational Landscape</h2>
<p>Officials believe this policy will not only boost enrollment in these government schools but also foster a more inclusive learning environment. It underscores the state's progressive approach to education, balancing global language proficiency with the importance of regional languages.</p>
<p>The move is anticipated to be well-received, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas where English-medium schools might be less prevalent or less preferred by the local populace. It's a pragmatic step towards ensuring no student is left behind due to language barriers.</p>
<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<p><b>Q1: What is the primary change in Rajasthan's Mahatma Gandhi Schools?</b></p>
<p>A1: The primary change is the introduction of Hindi medium alongside the existing English medium in 346 Mahatma Gandhi Government Schools, offering students a choice of instruction.</p>
<p><b>Q2: How many schools are affected by this new policy?</b></p>
<p>A2: This new policy impacts 346 Mahatma Gandhi Government Schools across Rajasthan, where students can now opt for either Hindi or English medium for their studies.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Amidst the controversy with Akshay Kumar over Hera Pheri 3, Paresh Rawal has claimed that he himself wrote the script for the film Oh My God 2, but later it was changed and he was not given credit either. When Vicky Lalwani asked Paresh Rawal in an interview why he didn't do the film Oh My God 2, he said- 'I did Road to Sangam with Amit Rai (director). I am his fan. So I asked him if he had thought of doing something else. I told him that I have an idea, let's do it together.' 'The idea was that a boy has been caught masturbating, his video has gone viral, and he is being ridiculed. His father is a tourist guide in Khajuraho. But Amit thought of showing the father as a priest of Mahakal as well. I discussed this with a sexologist friend for 5-5 hours, so that this idea wouldn't appear vulgar.' Wanted to cast Salman and Ajay Further, Paresh Rawal said, Then we added a character like a biker or a salesman, who would appear for 4-5 scenes intermittently and impart knowledge. I went to Ajay Devgn for the biker's role, and also to Salman Khan. If I had gone to Akshay, it would have seemed like 'Oh My God 2' was being made. I also went to Vipul Shah, and we had a meeting. Later, I received a call from Amit saying that there was a slight problem. I asked, What happened?, to which he replied, They are interested in this film. When asked who, he said that Akshay wants to do the film. Further, Paresh Rawal said, 'Amit had unknowingly or foolishly written OMG 2 on this script. Whereas we had to do an out-of-the-box idea like Oh My God, this was not OMG 2. Those people took the script from Amit. I told Amit that this is not a franchise. But I cannot fight with you.' Akshay wanted Paresh Rawal to do the film Paresh Rawal has stated that Akshay came to him and asked him to do the film, but he refused. On this, Paresh Rawal said - 'If this were a sequel, I would definitely do the film, take a lot of money, and also take credit for the story. Sadly, I didn't even get credit for the story. I am not a storyteller, but the idea for the story was Paresh's, such credit was also not given.' Paresh further stated that Akshay Kumar knew that he had written the story. Karan Johar also knows, Somen Mishra, Ashwin Varde also know. Salman Khan also knew. Amit Rai directed OMG 2 After Paresh Rawal withdrew from the film, the film based on his script was directed by Amit Rai. The story credit was also given to Amit Rai. Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam played the lead roles in it. This film was released in 2023 and was a hit, which is a sequel to the 2012 film OMG. The Censor Board had made several changes to the film.]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>New Car Blaze: Doctor's Swift Action Prevents Tragedy in Ajmer</h2>
<p>AJMER: A family's joy over a new car quickly turned into a terrifying ordeal in Ajmer when their recently purchased vehicle burst into flames barely half an hour after leaving the showroom. Fortunately, the quick thinking of Dr. Kushal Goyal, a neurosurgeon at JLN Hospital, averted a major disaster.</p>
<p>Dr. Goyal, who was driving the new Maruti Alto K10, noticed smoke billowing from the bonnet. He immediately pulled the car to the side of the road and safely escorted his mother out of the vehicle.</p>
<h2>Incident Details: From Showroom to Roadside Blaze</h2>
<p>The incident unfolded on Thursday afternoon. Dr. Goyal, a resident of Anand Nagar in Vaishali Nagar, had just taken delivery of his new Maruti Alto K10, purchased for approximately ₹5.5 lakh. He was returning home with his mother and other family members when the unexpected occurred.</p>
<p>Around 3:00 PM, roughly thirty minutes after departing the showroom at 2:30 PM, smoke began to emerge from the front section of the car in Vaishali Nagar.</p>
<h2>Prompt Response Averts Bigger Accident</h2>
<p>Understanding the gravity of the situation, Dr. Goyal acted swiftly. He brought the car to a halt and ensured all occupants were safely out. Moments later, flames erupted from under the bonnet.</p>
<p>He promptly alerted the fire department. Municipal Corporation firefighters arrived on the scene without delay and managed to extinguish the blaze before it could engulf the entire vehicle, preventing a much larger accident.</p>
<p>This marks a rare incident in Ajmer where a new car has caught fire so soon after its purchase and delivery. Following the successful firefighting operation, the damaged car was transported back to the showroom with the help of a tow vehicle for further investigation into the cause of the fire.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Umaid Hospital Faces Scrutiny After Wrong Blood Transfusion Incident</h2>
<p>A grave medical error has surfaced at Umaid Hospital, Jodhpur, the largest maternal and child health institute in the division. A postpartum patient, identified as Dhapu Bhil, 24, reportedly received an incorrect blood transfusion, leading to a significant deterioration in her health.</p>
<h2>Patient's Condition Worsens, Referred to MGH</h2>
<p>Following the transfusion, Bhil's condition worsened, necessitating her transfer to Mahatma Gandhi Hospital (MGH). There, she developed kidney complications and required dialysis. Hospital authorities have stated that she is currently out of danger.</p>
<h2>Confusion Over Patient Identity Suspected</h2>
<p>According to hospital superintendent Dr. Mohan Makwana, a departmental doctor has confirmed in writing that the issue arose due to the incorrect blood transfusion. Bhil, a resident of Davra Bavdi in Jodhpur district, was admitted to Umaid Hospital after a normal delivery due to anemia and other reasons. She was placed in the labour room where another patient named Dhapu was also admitted. Crucially, both patients shared the same husband's name. This similarity is believed to be the root cause of the mix-up, leading to Bhil being administered B positive blood on the second day, after initially receiving O positive blood.</p>
<h2>Doctors Alerted to the Error</h2>
<p>The incident came to light when Bhil's health declined sharply, with her urine output ceasing, causing alarm among the gynecology department doctors. She was referred to MGH on July 13. Reports suggest that the gynecology doctor in the labour room had formally alerted the superintendent in writing about the nurses' alleged lack of attention, which may have contributed to the error.</p>
<h2>Investigation Underway, Action Promised</h2>
<p>In response to the serious lapse, Umaid Hospital administration has formed a committee comprising doctors and nursing officials to investigate the matter. This committee is expected to submit its report within three to four days. Dr. B.S. Jodha, Principal of S.N. Medical College, assured that action would be taken against those found guilty once the investigation report is finalized.</p>
<h2>Past Incidents Raise Concerns Over Patient Safety</h2>
<p>This incident is not an isolated one in Jodhpur. Previously, the district hospital witnessed a critical situation where eight postpartum mothers' health deteriorated significantly after delivery. Two of these patients had their kidneys affected and were referred to AIIMS. While all of them eventually recovered and were discharged, the current event highlights a persistent issue with adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs) despite previous warnings and directives.</p>

<media:keywords>Rajasthan, Maternal Health, High Risk Pregnancy, Hospital Inspection</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Alarming Figures Emerge from Rajasthan's Maternity Inspections</h2>
<p>Jaipur, Rajasthan – A recent, extensive inspection drive across Rajasthan has unveiled a concerning reality for maternal health in the state. Data collected from checks on approximately 4,000 hospitals and healthcare facilities indicates that a staggering one in every six pregnant women is currently categorised as high-risk.</p>
<p>This widespread 'Prasuta Nirikshan' (Maternity Inspection) initiative, recently launched by health authorities, aimed to assess the quality of care and identify potential risks faced by expectant mothers. The initial findings paint a stark picture, necessitating immediate attention and intervention.</p>
<h2>The Scope of the Inspection and Its Findings</h2>
<p>The inspection covered a vast network of medical institutions, from large district hospitals to smaller community health centres. Health officials meticulously reviewed patient records, infrastructure, and the availability of essential medical services to gauge the preparedness for handling maternity cases.</p>
<p>Identifying a pregnant woman as 'high-risk' means she faces a higher chance of complications during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period. These risks can range from pre-existing medical conditions like diabetes or hypertension to complications such as gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, or even age-related factors.</p>
<h2>Why This Matters for Maternal Health</h2>
<p>The high percentage of high-risk pregnancies directly impacts maternal and infant mortality rates. Early identification and specialised care are crucial for these mothers to ensure safe deliveries and healthy outcomes for both mother and baby.</p>
<p>Experts suggest that this revelation underscores the need for enhanced antenatal care, better screening mechanisms, and improved access to advanced medical facilities, especially in remote areas of Rajasthan. It also highlights potential gaps in existing healthcare infrastructure and personnel training.</p>
<h2>Next Steps for Health Authorities</h2>
<p>With these findings now public, the state health department is expected to intensify its efforts. This could involve implementing stricter protocols for identifying and managing high-risk pregnancies, increasing the availability of specialist doctors, and upgrading medical equipment in maternity wards.</p>
<p>The focus will likely shift towards ensuring that every high-risk mother receives continuous monitoring and appropriate medical intervention throughout her pregnancy journey. Community awareness campaigns on early registration for antenatal care are also vital.</p>
<h3>FAQ</h3>
<h4>Q1: What does 'high-risk pregnancy' mean?</h4>
<p>A high-risk pregnancy refers to a pregnancy where there are potential complications that could affect the mother, the baby, or both. These pregnancies require close monitoring and often specialised care to ensure a healthy outcome.</p>
<h4>Q2: What steps are being taken by authorities in Rajasthan following these findings?</h4>
<p>While specific immediate actions are still being formulated, the findings are expected to prompt intensified efforts in enhancing antenatal care, improving screening methods for high-risk cases, and upgrading medical facilities and personnel training across the state.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Today, Rashmika Mandanna is counted among the big actresses of the country. With films like 'Pushpa', 'Animal' and 'Chhava', she achieved the status of a pan-India star. But at the beginning of her career, she had to face continuous rejections. She gave about 20-25 auditions, in most of which she was rejected saying that her face was not like an actress. She used to cry after returning home. After training for 2-3 months for a film, that film was also shut down. However, she did not give up and became a star with her very first Kannada film 'Kirik Party'. In today's success story, let's know about Rashmika Mandanna's career and personal life. Born in Virajpet, Karnataka Rashmika Mandanna was born on April 5, 1996, in Virajpet, Kodagu (Coorg) district, Karnataka. She belongs to a Kodava family. Her childhood was spent in Coorg, famous for its beautiful hills and coffee plantations. Her father, Madan Mandanna, is a local businessman who owns a coffee estate and a function hall. Her mother, Suman Mandanna, is a homemaker and has always been a support in Rashmika's career. She also has a younger sister, Shiman Mandanna, with whom she shares a deep bond. Witnessed Financial Struggle in Childhood Rashmika's parents never had money even to buy toys for her. She had mentioned this in an interview given to Hindustan Times. According to her, there was a time when her parents had to struggle to find a house and pay rent. The situation was so bad that they couldn't even buy a toy for their daughter. Witnessing this poverty, Rashmika today values the money earned through hard work. A Major Part of Her Life Was Spent in a Hostel Rashmika did her initial schooling at Coorg Public School, Gonikoppal. It was a boarding school, so a large part of her childhood was spent in the hostel. Rashmika said, "Most of my life was spent in the hostel. At that time, my parents were busy managing their lives and financial situation. That's why I have been in a hostel since childhood. At that time, I didn't even get a chance to watch movies. In the hostel, watching TV was allowed only from 9:30 to 10 PM, and even then, only news, sports, or music could be watched." Her heart was in dance, not studies She said, "In school, whether it was Teachers' Day, Annual Day, or any cultural program, I always participated enthusiastically. Especially, I learned Bharatanatyam and loved to dance. I had absolutely no interest in studies. I was a backbencher in class. I felt that I wouldn't be able to achieve anything special through studies. At most, I would return home and help my father with his business." Bachelor's Degree in Three Subjects Rashmika Mandanna is not just a successful actress, but also well-educated. She has earned a Bachelor's degree in English Literature, Psychology, and Journalism. After completing her schooling, Rashmika pursued a pre-university course from Mysore Institute of Commerce and Arts. After this, she enrolled in M.S. Ramaiah College of Arts, Science and Commerce in Bengaluru and completed her graduation in these three subjects from there. Never Dreamed of Becoming an Actress In 2014, while studying in college, Rashmika won the 'Clean  Clear Times Fresh Face' competition. After this, she started receiving many modeling offers. Initially, she turned down acting proposals because she had never thought about becoming an actress. Rashmika says, "Whenever I used to watch film songs or hear about actors, their lives used to attract me a lot. I used to think how wonderful their lives must be. But I never even dreamt that one day I myself would become an actress." Later, a college professor encouraged her to audition. Your face doesn't look like an actress's In the early days of her career, Rashmika gave about 20 to 25 auditions. She was rejected in most places. Many casting teams told her that her face didn't look like an actress's. This broke her from within. Used to cry a lot after returning home In an interview given to Galatta Plus, Rashmika had revealed that after continuous rejections, she often used to cry after returning home. She said that at that time she could not accept failure. Every rejection made her feel that perhaps she was not meant for this industry. Got the first film, but it never materialized Rashmika said, "After that, I auditioned for a film one last time and I was selected. The film's name was 'Gaalare Gelathire'. We even trained for two-three months for it, but unfortunately, that film never started. I came back home and focused on my studies. At that time, my parents also said that two years have passed, come back home. I also thought that perhaps this is the path of my life." However, she composed herself and continued to look for new opportunities. Rejection Taught Her to Move Forward Rashmika Mandanna often says that the rejections and failures she faced in her career proved to be her biggest teachers. In the early days, she was rejected in many auditions without a clear reason. Many times, she was not even told the reason for not being selected. Initially, it was disheartening, but gradually she understood that rejection is a part of every artist's journey in the entertainment industry and should not be considered a personal failure. Rashmika believes that if she had broken down from initial setbacks, she probably would never have reached films like 'Pushpa', 'Animal' and other big movies. She considered every rejection an opportunity to improve herself. She continuously worked on her acting, screen presence, and confidence. She has said that success is not achieved in a single day, but comes from patience, continuous hard work, and self-belief. This very thought kept inspiring her to stand up again after every failure and move forward stronger. 'Kirik Party' Changed Life Rashmika said, "During this time, I got a call for 'Kirik Party'. I think that's where my real journey as an actress began. When I got this film, I couldn't believe it. I was just thinking, 'Wow... how did this happen?'" Rashmika Mandanna made her acting debut in 2016 with the Kannada film 'Kirik Party'. Her very first film proved to be a box office hit and Rashmika became the new star of Karnataka. Her natural acting and screen presence were liked by the audience. After that, she never looked back. The Kannada film 'Kirik Party' was directed by Kantara fame actor-director Rishab Shetty. Continuous success in Kannada cinema After 'Kirik Party', Rashmika worked in Kannada films 'Anjani Putra' (2017) and 'Chamak' (2017). Both films performed well and Rashmika became one of the successful actresses in the industry. Stepped into the Telugu Industry In 2018, Rashmika debuted with the Telugu film 'Chalo'. The film was successful and Telugu audiences embraced her wholeheartedly. In the same year, her pairing with Vijay Deverakonda in 'Geetha Govindam' was a superhit. The film grossed over 100 crore rupees and Rashmika became popular throughout South India. After this, she worked in films like 'Devadas', 'Dear Comrade', 'Sarileru Neekevvaru', 'Bheeshma', and 'Pushpa: The Rise'. These films made her one of the top actresses in Telugu cinema. How did Pushpa get the role? After the success of films like 'Geetha Govindam', 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' and 'Bheeshma', director Sukumar was looking for an actress who could portray the simplicity of a village girl and strong emotions on screen in the character of 'Srivalli'. Seeing Rashmika's natural acting and popularity, she was offered this role. Her pairing with Allu Arjun in 'Pushpa: The Rise', released in 2021, was well-received. The film's song 'Saami Saami' and the character of Srivalli became popular across the country. After this, Rashmika's identity was not limited to the South and she became a pan-India star. Bollywood debut with Amitabh Bachchan's film Rashmika made her Hindi film debut in 2022 with the film 'Goodbye' alongside Amitabh Bachchan. The film was critically acclaimed, though it did not achieve major box office success. After that, she was seen in 'Mission Majnu' (with Sidharth Malhotra). This film was released on OTT and her performance was appreciated. 'Animal' gave her a new identity 'Animal', released in 2023, proved to be a major turning point in Rashmika's career. In the film, she played the character of Gitanjali, Ranbir Kapoor's wife. This character was not just glamorous, but also emotionally strong. With this film, Rashmika's popularity among Hindi audiences increased manifold. She has long been called 'National Crush' on social media, but after 'Animal', this identity became even stronger across the entire Hindi belt. What is the story behind 'National Crush'? Around 2020, Rashmika started being widely referred to as the 'National Crush of India' on social media. The reasons for this were her smile, simplicity, natural demeanor in interviews, and her success in South India. Later, films like 'Pushpa' and 'Animal' further boosted this popularity across the country. However, this is not an official honor, but rather an address given by fans and social media. Along with success, she also faced trolling, and was the subject of discussion in several controversies As quickly as Rashmika Mandanna's career advanced, she faced trolling on social media just as many times. The biggest controversy occurred in 2018 after her engagement with actor Rakshit Shetty broke off. A section of social media, without concrete information, blamed her for the breakup of the relationship and targeted her for a long time. Subsequently, during an interview in 2022, while mentioning her first film 'Kirik Party', Rashmika used hand gestures (air quotes) instead of naming the production house. Regarding this, some fans from the Kannada film industry called it an insult to director Rishab Shetty and the production house. During the same period, she also faced criticism on social media for her statement about not watching 'Kantara'. On continuous trolling, Rashmika broke her silence in November 2022 by writing a long note on social media. She said, "It is heartbreaking and disheartening that I am trolled for things I never said." She also wrote that she has faced constant criticism since the beginning of her career and now she felt it was important to speak up about it. Later, in an interview, Rashmika said that people misinterpret her way of speaking, hand gestures, and even expressions. According to her, as a public figure, she understands that not everyone will like her, but if people cannot be kind to someone, they should at least not spread hatred without reason. However, despite constant trolling and controversies, Rashmika remained focused on her work. Today, she is counted among the successful actresses of Indian cinema, and audiences eagerly await her films. Rashmika's upcoming major films 1. Ranabali This is a 19th-century historical drama film, in which Rashmika will be seen in the lead role with her husband Vijay Deverakonda. This film will be released in cinemas worldwide on September 11, 2026. This pan-India film will be released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.

<p>Accompanied by the rhythmic beats of traditional drums and joyful cheers, the frog couple was paraded through the market.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Rathore's Bold Claim: Dotasra Might Join RSS</h2>
<p>In a recent political development, BJP leader Madan Rathore has made a rather intriguing statement, suggesting that former Rajasthan Education Minister Govind Singh Dotasra might eventually find himself joining the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Rathore's comments have quickly stirred conversations within the state's political circles.</p>
<p>Addressing the media, Rathore didn't shy away from making direct allegations concerning Dotasra's previous tenure. He pointed out that during Dotasra's time as the Education Minister, there were widespread reports and claims of money changing hands for teacher transfers. This practice, Rathore asserted, is a stark contrast to the current administration's approach.</p>
<h2>Allegations of Past Transfer Irregularities</h2>
<p>Rathore elaborated on his claims, highlighting what he perceives as a significant difference in governance. According to him, the previous government, under which Dotasra served, was marred by a system where financial transactions were allegedly commonplace for routine administrative processes like teacher postings and transfers. He firmly stated that such practices are not tolerated under the current leadership.</p>
<p>The BJP leader's remarks draw a clear line, aiming to project the current government as one committed to transparency and merit-based decisions, particularly in sensitive areas like education department transfers. He emphasized that the current system is designed to be free from such irregularities.</p>
<h2>Current Government's Stance on Transfers</h2>
<p>The statements from Madan Rathore come amidst ongoing political discourse in Rajasthan, where administrative efficiency and corruption-free governance remain key talking points. His comments aim to underscore the BJP's commitment to clean administration while simultaneously questioning the integrity of the previous Congress government's policies.</p>
<p>This political jibe adds another layer to the dynamic rivalry between the BJP and Congress in Rajasthan, bringing past administrative decisions under scrutiny once again. The suggestion of Dotasra, a prominent Congress figure, potentially aligning with the RSS, also adds an element of speculation to the political narrative.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actor Atul Kulkarni has announced a one-day fast in solidarity with activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is currently on an indefinite hunger strike. Actress Sonakshi Sinha and comedian Samay Raina have also extended their support to Wangchuk. Kulkarni said he will observe the fast at his home on July 16 as a symbolic gesture to stand with Wangchuk and those protesting alongside him. He said the initiative is meant to express solidarity with their cause and urge the government to respond with compassion. The actor also appealed to citizens across the country to join him by observing a one-day fast in support of Wangchuk. Activist Sonam Wangchuk has been on an indefinite hunger strike as part of the 'Cockroach Janata Party' campaign, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET paper leak. July 16 marks the 19th day of his fast, with several Bollywood personalities now voicing their support. Among them, actress Sonakshi Sinha shared a video on Instagram, saying she had never felt the need to make a public appeal before, but could no longer stay silent. She described Wangchuk as someone who has made significant contributions to the country and said he is fighting for the future of students, who she believes have been let down by the system. Sonakshi added that young people across the country have been raising their voices over the issue, yet meaningful dialogue has not begun. Calling herself one of those young citizens, she said she chose to speak out because she wants a better future for the country. In her video, Sonakshi also questioned the authorities, saying, "I just want to ask—when will enough be enough? Will you only wake up after these people lose their lives? And if that happens, who will take responsibility? What is happening is simply not right." Actress Fatima Sana Shaikh also voiced her support on social media. She pointed out that Sonam Wangchuk has now been on a hunger strike for 19 days, adding that no one should have to wait this long just to be heard. Fatima said it was unfortunate that someone who has contributed so much to the country was forced to put his health at risk to draw attention to the issue. She stressed that, regardless of political differences, safeguarding the future of students should remain a priority. Expressing hope for a peaceful resolution through dialogue, Fatima wished Wangchuk good health and urged people to stand together for a better future for the country's youth. Comedian Samay Raina also shared Sonam Wangchuk's picture and wrote that he hopes and prays that Wangchuk remains safe and that the entire matter is resolved soon through dialogue. Meanwhile, earlier, many celebrities like Soni Razdan, Shabana Azmi, Rubina Dilaik, Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, and Anurag Kashyap had also posted in support of Sonam Wangchuk. Actress Swara Bhaskar reached Jantar Mantar and expressed her support by meeting Sonam Wangchuk. Earlier, Prakash Raj had also reached Jantar Mantar.]]> </content:encoded>

Set against the colourful backdrop of Indian wedding festivities, the film blends romance, comedy and family emotions. Speaking about the trailer, director Akashaditya Lama said, "Every wedding comes with its share of drama, but in Dulhaniya Le Aaegi, the drama begins even before the wedding rituals.

<media:keywords>Sohail, Khan, wanted, name, his, son, Ram, Khan:Actor, reveals, why, was, eventually, named, Nirvan</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[Actor Sohail Khan recently revealed that he had wanted to name his elder son "Ram Khan", but things took a different turn after his birth. Sharing the story on the reality show Alliance, Sohail said it was his former wife Seema Sajdeh who eventually chose the name "Nirvan". The conversation began after wildcard contestant Ali Goni praised Sohail and Seema for raising their children well. Responding to the compliment, Sohail recalled that before their first child was born, the couple had made a light-hearted agreement, if they had a son, he would choose the name, and if they had a daughter, Seema would decide. Sohail said he had always wanted to name his son "Ram Khan", calling it a reflection of his family's secular values. However, after the delivery, when Seema regained consciousness, the first name she suggested was "Nirvan". The actor said he instantly liked the name and never felt the need to change it. He added that Nirvan has grown up to be calm and balanced, qualities that he believes perfectly match the meaning of his name. Sohail and Seema share a warm bond on the show Despite being divorced, Sohail Khan and Seema Sajdeh have been seen sharing a friendly and comfortable equation on Alliance. When Seema entered the show, Sohail welcomed her warmly and reflected on their long journey together. He said they had spent 25 years together and added that if there were any shortcomings in their relationship, he would take responsibility for them. Seema also spoke fondly about Sohail during the show. When host Kunal Khemmu asked who her closest ally in the game was, she replied that Sohail was her only partner at the moment. Sohail later admitted that seeing someone from his family on the show made him genuinely happy and emotional. 
Sohail also opened up about his divorce In an earlier episode of Alliance, Sohail Khan spoke candidly about the end of his marriage with Seema Sajdeh. During a conversation with Nikhil Chinapa, he admitted that his career was going through a difficult phase at the time and that he was not in the right frame of mind. He said his behaviour eventually cost him the person he loved the most. Sohail added that while Seema is the mother of his two sons, he now respects her even more than he loves her. He also said the show gave them an opportunity to reconnect and have honest conversations after years. A love story that lasted over two decades Sohail and Seema first met at Chunky Pandey's engagement party, where Sohail says he fell in love with her at first sight. They soon began dating, but their relationship faced opposition from Seema's family because they belonged to different religions. Despite the resistance, the couple decided to be together. On March 15, 1998—the same day Sohail's directorial debut Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya was released—they eloped and got married. They first tied the knot at an Arya Samaj temple before also having a Nikah ceremony. The couple welcomed their first son, Nirvan, in 2000 and their second son, Yohan, in 2011. After more than two decades together, they separated in 2022. About the show Alliance is a reality game show hosted by Kunal Khemu, where friendships and alliances change with every episode. Streaming on Prime Video, the show features actors and influencers, including Sohail Khan, Mini Mathur, Kushal Tandon, Niti Taylor and Payal Gaming]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Customer Alleges Misdiagnosis, Two-Month Delay at Ajmer Maruti Suzuki Service Center</h2>
<p>Ajmer is buzzing with a fresh controversy involving a prominent car service center. Maruti Suzuki's Relan Motors Service Center, located in the Parbatpura-Palra RIICO area, is currently facing serious allegations from a customer. Javed Khan claims the service center exhibited gross negligence and advised unnecessary part replacements, leading to significant financial loss.</p>
<p>Khan recounted his ordeal, stating that just four to five days before May 14, during a routine service, staff at the center suggested only an AC gas refill, assuring him there were no other issues with his vehicle. However, the AC stopped working completely within four days. Upon a re-examination, the staff then advised replacing the entire AC compressor, claiming it was completely damaged.</p>
<h2>Advance Paid, Parts Delayed for Two Months</h2>
<p>Following the advice, Javed Khan deposited an advance of ₹1,000 on May 14 to book the compressor. What followed was a frustrating wait; two months passed, and neither was the part made available nor did the company provide any updates. Khan grew suspicious and decided to seek a second opinion.</p>
<p>He took his Ciaz car to an independent mechanic. To his surprise, the diagnosis revealed only a faulty AC clutch bearing, a repair that could be done at a significantly lower cost compared to replacing the entire compressor. This discovery highlighted a stark contrast in the repair recommendations.</p>
<div style="background: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #007bff; margin: 20px 0;"><strong>? Did You Know?</strong> India's Consumer Protection Act of 2019 empowers consumers to seek redressal for unfair trade practices, defective goods, and deficient services, including filing complaints in consumer courts.</div>
<h2>'Open Loot' Accusations and Legal Action</h2>
<p>Javed Khan mentioned that he has been a loyal customer, getting his car serviced regularly at the company since 2017. This was the first time he opted for an external mechanic, which, ironically, provided a much cheaper solution. The service center had estimated approximately ₹30,000 for a full compressor replacement, a stark difference from the actual repair cost.</p>
<p>Khan has not held back, openly accusing the service center of engaging in 'open loot' against its customers. He has now declared his intention to approach the Consumer Court, seeking justice and demanding action against the alleged malpractices.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Gadkari Addresses Ethanol Business Claims Amid E-20 Fuel Policy Debate</h2>
<p>Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has finally broken his silence on the swirling allegations concerning his family's involvement in the ethanol business. These claims have gained traction amidst the ongoing national debate surrounding the E-20 fuel policy. Gadkari dismissed the social media narrative as "completely misleading," asserting that his family is not reaping significant financial benefits from the enterprise.</p>
<p>Speaking out for the first time on the matter, the minister clarified the financial landscape of the ethanol project. He revealed that the venture carries a substantial debt of approximately ₹1600 crore. Furthermore, he emphasized that his sons' stake and their contribution to the profits are "extremely limited," painting a picture far removed from the lavish gains suggested by critics.</p>
<h3>No Direct Role in Operations, Says Minister</h3>
<p>Gadkari was quick to distance himself from the day-to-day operations and commercial transactions of the business. He stated unequivocally that he has "no direct connection" with the management, buying, or selling activities associated with the ethanol venture. This separation, he implied, should put to rest any suggestions of direct influence or conflict of interest.</p>
<p>The veteran politician also suggested a political undercurrent to the entire controversy. According to Gadkari, the allegations are being deliberately fanned for "political reasons," hinting at a calculated effort to discredit him and his family. The E-20 fuel policy, which mandates a 20% blend of ethanol with petrol, has been a significant policy push aimed at reducing India's crude oil import bill and promoting sustainable energy.</p>
<p>This direct rebuttal from Gadkari comes at a crucial time, as the E-20 policy continues to be a focal point of discussion regarding its economic and environmental implications. His statements aim to clarify the record and counter the persistent accusations that have shadowed his family's business dealings.</p>
<h3>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</h3>
<p><b>Q1: What is the E-20 fuel policy?</b><br>A1: The E-20 fuel policy mandates a 20% blend of ethanol with petrol in India. It aims to reduce the country's reliance on crude oil imports and promote cleaner energy alternatives.</p>
<p><b>Q2: What were the main allegations against Nitin Gadkari regarding the ethanol business?</b><br>A2: Allegations circulating on social media suggested that Union Minister Nitin Gadkari's family was benefiting significantly from the ethanol business, creating a conflict of interest given the government's push for E-20 fuel.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>CBSE Introduces New Language Requirement for 10th Pass Certificate</h2>
<p>New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to implement a significant change regarding its Class 10th pass certificate. From the academic session 2026-27, students will need to mandatorily pass a third language to receive their Class 10th certificate.</p>
<p>This new directive means that a student's performance in a third language will directly impact their eligibility for the final pass certificate. Currently, students typically study two languages up to Class 10.</p>
<h2>Understanding the New Mandate</h2>
<p>Under the upcoming rule, students will be required to study and pass a third language from Class 6th to 8th. Crucially, if a student fails in this third language examination, they will not be issued the Class 10th pass certificate.</p>
<p>The marks obtained in this third language will be factored into the final certificate. Should a student not clear the third language, they will be given the opportunity to reappear for the examination.</p>
<h2>Aligning with National Education Policy 2020</h2>
<p>Sources indicate that this decision aligns with the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The NEP 2020 strongly emphasizes the promotion of multilingualism and the strengthening of Indian languages across the curriculum.</p>
<p>By making a third language mandatory, CBSE aims to enhance students' linguistic foundations and expose them to a broader range of languages. This policy will also extend to students studying in CBSE-affiliated schools outside India, ensuring a uniform approach.</p>
<p>The move is expected to prepare students better for a linguistically diverse world, fostering a deeper appreciation for various languages and cultures. Schools will need to adapt their curriculum and assessment strategies to integrate this new requirement effectively.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>India Sees Significant Boost in MBBS Seats for 2026-27 Academic Year</h2>
<p>In a crucial update for aspiring medical students across the nation, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has officially released the seat matrix for undergraduate MBBS courses, excluding Institutes of National Importance (INIs), for the academic year 2026-27. This announcement, coming just ahead of the NEET UG results, confirms a substantial increase in available medical education opportunities.</p>
<p>According to the notice issued by the Medical Assessment &amp; Rating Board (MARB) of the NMC on July 14, 2026, a total of 1,36,939 MBBS seats are now available. These seats are spread across 823 medical colleges throughout the country, marking a significant expansion in medical education infrastructure.</p>
<h2>Nearly 10,000 New Seats Added</h2>
<p>The latest matrix reveals an impressive addition of 9,911 new MBBS seats this year. This brings the total count to 1,36,939, with 1,27,028 seats being renewed from existing capacities. The newly increased seats are a game-changer for many candidates eyeing a career in medicine.</p>
<p>A closer look shows that 2,400 of these new seats come from 25 newly established medical colleges. This includes 400 seats distributed across seven new government medical colleges and a substantial 2,000 seats from 18 new private medical institutions, reflecting growth in both public and private sectors.</p>
<h2>State-Wise Distribution and College Landscape</h2>
<p>The breakdown between government and private institutions offers further clarity. Government medical colleges now total 441, collectively offering 63,296 seats. Of these, 61,185 are renewed, and 2,111 are newly increased.</p>
<p>Private medical colleges account for 382 institutions with a larger share of 73,643 total seats. This figure includes 65,843 renewed seats and a significant 7,800 newly increased seats, showcasing a robust expansion in the private sector.</p>

Maharashtra features 86 colleges with 13,099 seats, while Telangana has 66 colleges and 10,250 seats, highlighting key hubs for medical education.</p>
<h2>Compliance and Oversight for New Additions</h2>
<p>The MARB has laid down clear directives for private medical colleges that have received approval for new institutions or an increase in intake capacity. These colleges are mandated to furnish the necessary Electronic Bank Guarantee (E-Bank Guarantee) to the Director, MARB, within seven days from the public notice's issuance date.</p>
<p>Crucially, the Letter of Permission (LoP) will only be issued once the E-Bank Guarantee is received and verified. This step ensures financial compliance and accountability from institutions expanding their intake.</p>
<p>The NMC also clarified that the released seat matrix is not set in stone; it remains subject to revision based on decisions from the Appeal Committee or any other competent authority. Any such revisions will be promptly uploaded on the official NMC website for the benefit of counselling committees at both central and state levels.</p>
<p>Counselling committees have been strictly warned against permitting admissions exceeding the approved and notified seat numbers. Any discrepancies or deviations are to be immediately referred to MARB for clarification, reinforcing the commission's commitment to a transparent and regulated admission process.</p>

<p>Australia is set to implement a significant increase in its student visa application charges, a move that will undoubtedly resonate across the international student community, particularly among Indian nationals. Starting July 2026, the cost for a subclass 500 student visa will jump by a steep 25 per cent, moving from AUD $2,000 to $2,500.</p>
<p>This development comes as India continues to be a major source of international students for Australia. Latest figures show that Indian nationals comprised roughly 17 per cent of Australia's international student population, with over 120,000 students enrolled in the country.</p>
<h2>ELICOS Sector Gets a Partial Reprieve</h2>
<p>Amidst these changes, the Australian government has made a noteworthy distinction for students pursuing English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students, or ELICOS. While most student visa applicants will face the full 25 per cent hike, ELICOS students will see a separate, comparatively lower fee set at $2,050.</p>
<p>This means that while their fee also nudges up marginally from the previous $2,000, they are largely spared the substantial increase applied to other categories. Every other student category will be paying the full $2,500.</p>
<h2>Understanding ELICOS and the Exemption</h2>
<p>So, what exactly is ELICOS? These are short, intensive English-language courses designed for international students in Australia. They can be standalone programmes or, more commonly, serve as a bridge course before students embark on a full degree or diploma.</p>
<p>The government's rationale for the lower fee is rooted in the shorter duration of these courses. Unlike a two- or three-year degree, ELICOS programmes can run for just a few weeks or months. Officials have stated that the reduced fee “recognises the shorter length of ELICOS and Non-Award study programs.”</p>
<p>Essentially, the argument that a student paying for a few weeks of English classes shouldn't face the same visa fee as someone enrolling in a multi-year academic programme was accepted. Industry bodies had even pushed for a larger cut, citing falling enrolments, but the government ultimately opted for a modest increase while avoiding the full 25 per cent hike for this sector.</p>
<p>For Indian students considering their study options in Australia, these new fee structures will certainly be a key factor in their planning and budgeting for future academic pursuits.</p>
