Ruckus during anti-encroachment drive in Indore, six detained after protest

Digital Desk | Indore, Sep 9 (IANS) A ruckus broke out during an anti-encroachment drive in Indore's South Toda area on Wednesday after some residents opposed the demolition of alleged illegal structures, prompting police to detain six persons. The situation turned tense when a group of youths allegedly pushed Dishesh Agrawal, Additional DCP, while police personnel were attempting to control the crowd. The officer reportedly lost his balance and fell, following which police detained the accused youth along with several others. The incident took place when a large team of the Indore Municipal Corporation reached South Toda, under the Raoji Bazar police station limits, to remove encroachments along a drain and other locations. The civic body deployed more than 100 personnel, three Poclain machines, and six JCBs for the operation. More than 80 police personnel and officers were deployed to maintain law and order and prevent any untoward incident. According to police, some people opposed the demolition drive and gathered at the site. Police attempted to push them back and clear the area to allow the municipal team to continue its action. During the commotion, youths allegedly shoved Agrawal from behind. Police personnel then apprehended him, while several other people were also detained. Six people were detained during the demolition drive. Further action will be taken against them as per the law, Agrawal told IANS. ACP Vijay Singh Chaudhary said the encroachments had been affecting traffic movement and causing inconvenience in the area. The Municipal Corporation carried out the anti-encroachment drive in South Toda. Several encroachments had been made along the drain and at other locations, causing major disruption to traffic and movement. Some people opposed the action, but the police brought the situation under control and detained those creating trouble, Chaudhary told IANS. The Municipal Corporation said around 50 sheds and illegal portions of six houses were removed during the drive. However, the situation was later brought under control soon after the incident, and the demolition operation continued under police security.

Duleep Trophy: Kishan, Mohan assert East Zone's dominance as lead swells to 584 runs

Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Skipper Ishan Kishan and Shikhar Mohan hit fluent half-centuries to consolidate East Zone's absolute command over South Zone, as they extended their lead to a massive 584 runs on day four of the Duleep Trophy final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. Kishan, who brought his match tally to a staggering 350 runs, compiled an explosive 80 off 98 balls, laced with nine fours and three sixes, before missing out on a second century in the match. His departure, alongside Mohans steady 52 off 85 balls, ensured East Zone closed the day in complete control and virtually sealed the title after consecutive wins in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons. Earlier in the morning session, South Zone added 94 runs to their overnight total before being bowled out, leaving East Zone with a colossal 372-run first-innings lead. South Zone skipper Tilak Varma kick-started the day with consecutive boundaries off Mohammed Shami. At the other end, CV Milind provided sturdy resistance, driving Mukesh Kumar through the covers as runs flowed freely against the new ball. However, the introduction of spin broke the resistance, ending the 78-run stand when Milind was dismissed by Mohan for 43, triggering a quick tail-end slide. Tripurana Vijay was run out while attempting a tight single, and Mohammad Siraj was trapped lbw by Mukesh Kumar. In a heartbreaking climax to the South Zones first innings, Varma mistimed a return catch to Md Kounain Quraishi and fell on 99, thus missing out on a well-deserved ninth first-class century by a single run. Despite holding a 372-run advantage, East Zone opted not to enforce the follow-on. The decision initially brought little joy to spectators as young prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was stumped off Vijay for eight, while Abhimanyu Easwaran edged off Siraj to first slip. Unfazed by the early loss of both openers, Kishan and Mohan steadied the innings with a 126-run stand off 170 balls for the third wicket. Post-tea, Kishan went on an aggressive rampage, brought up his fifty, and then punished Vijay by taking 20 runs off an over with two boundaries and two sixes. Kishan eventually fell to Shreyas Gopal while attempting another big hit, but his innings pushed the lead past 500. Mohan was later trapped lbw by Shaikh Rasheed, and Sudip Gharami was run out. Kumar Kushagra (34 not out) and Quraishi (26 not out) safely negotiated the final overs with an unbroken 52-run stand. Brief scores: East Zone 708 & 212/5 in 51 overs (Ishan Kishan 80, Shikhar Mohan 52; MD Nidheesh 1-14, Mohammed Siraj 1-17) lead South Zone 336 (Tilak Varma 99; Mukesh Kumar 3-62) by 584 runs

Riteish Deshmukh recalls being helped by a paparazzo outside Mumbai restaurant: People always say that youre paying paps. I was the one who got paid by them

Riteish Deshmukh recently recalled an unexpected moment of kindness involving a paparazzo outside a Mumbai restaurant. The actor shared that he had no cash with him when he wanted to buy something worth Rs 100 from a child, and a paparazzo stepped in to help. Riteish explained that he was walking out of the restaurant when he noticed a child selling something for Rs 100. Since he usually relies on digital payments, he did not have cash on him. We were walking out, and there was a child who was selling something for Rs 100. You have become so cashless today I wasnt carrying money. Now, I dont carry money because everything is digital, he said. He initially asked his chauffeur, Sau rupaye chhutta hai kya? (Do you have a change of Rs 100?), but was told there was no cash available. Riteish then asked the child whether he accepted Google Pay, assuming he might have a QR code. However, the child replied, GPay nahin hai mere paas (I dont have GPay). At that point, a paparazzo offered to pay the amount on Riteishs behalf. The actor recalled, And it was so nice of one paparazzo, whose name I didnt know, but now, I know, his name is Sushil Mohite, if Im not wrong, but if Im wrong, then Im very sorry. He said, Main deta hoon (I will give). With the situation becoming chaotic due to traffic and photographers around him, Riteish tried to get Sushils GPay details so he could return the money. However, the paparazzo declined, saying, Nahin, rehne do (No, let it go). Riteish later clicked his picture before leaving. Once inside the car, Riteish decided to use Instagram to find him. So then I just posted on my story saying, I owe him. I need to pay him back. And finally, in fact I got his number, he said. After getting in touch with Sushil, Riteish thanked him and insisted on returning the money. Reflecting on the incident, he said the gesture mattered more than the amount. It was the kindness that the pap showed where he wanted to pay for me. Its always chaotic, getting in and out on the road, and the paps are doing their job. We always think that they are probably wanting our pictures and they are in need. But we dont realise that there are moments when they step up to help you, he said. Genelia also recalled their experiences with paparazzi support, saying, And weve always had that. Always, she said. Riteish summed up the moment with a laugh: People always say that youre paying paps. I was the one who got paid by them.

J&K HC bins discharge order, says secessionist slogans alongside separatist leader attract UAPA

Srinagar, Sep 9: The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh has set aside the discharge of an accused in a UAPA case stating that secessionist sloganeering in a mob in the presence of the head of a banned separatist organisation prima facie falls under the definition of unlawful activity. A division bench headed by acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Kumar set aside the discharge of Mohammad Yousuf Lone in a 2013 UAPA case by the Additional District and Sessions Judge (Designated Special Court under NIA Act) Kupwara. The sloganeering for secession, raised by an accused leading a mob in the company of the head of a proscribed separatist organisation, coupled with incitement of the public and violence against security forces, is capable, on a prima facie appreciation, of falling squarely within this definition, the bench observed in its order. According to the case, a mob headed by Mohammad Yousuf Lone and Late Syed Ali Shah Geelani, chairman of the banned Hurriyat Conference, came out of Jamia Masjid in Kupwara on November 8, 2013, raised anti-national slogans against the Government of India, and pelted stones at police and security forces. The separatist leaders also allegedly instigated the general public against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Union of India, according to the chargesheet. The trial court has recorded, in a single sentence in paragraph 6 of the order impugned, that the facts 'do not fulfil the ingredients of Sections 2(o) of ULA(P) Act' without setting out the reasoning by which the specific statements or conduct attributed to the respondent in the chargesheet were tested against the statutory definition. This amounts to a bare conclusion rather than a reasoned finding, the high court said. It said the material with chargesheet -- including the recorded slogans, the leadership role attributed to the respondent, and the resultant violence -- discloses a strong suspicion sufficient to put the respondent on trial, leaving the question of whether the charges are ultimately proved to be examined at trial and not foreclosed at the threshold. It is trite that an order of discharge must reflect application of judicial mind to the material on record, and that the findings at the charge stage, though summary, cannot be conclusory. However, it is abundantly clear from perusal of the order impugned that the same does not indicate that the specific contents of the chargesheet, the statements of the witnesses to the procession, the site plan, and the material, alleged to link the respondent to the incitement and the resultant violence, were tested against the ingredients of Section 13 read with Section 2(o) of the UAPA before the conclusion of non-applicability was recorded. On this ground, the order impugned is unsustainable and calls for interference, it added. The court said it is neither making any definitive finding on the guilt or innocence of the respondent, nor expressing any opinion on the ultimate merits of the case. However, when specific material is brought on record that, on the face of it, discloses the commission of an offence and the complicity of the respondent, the trial court cannot act as a mute spectator and shut the doors of trial without assigning valid legal reasons, it added. Allowing the criminal appeal filed by the state, the high court directed that the chargesheet be restored and the trial court proceed with the framing of charge against the respondent afresh after considering the material placed on record by the appellant.

Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra turn retro in new AI photo; fans compare them to Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon

Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra have joined the latest social media trend that uses artificial intelligence to reimagine celebrities in different eras. Kiara recently shared an AI-generated picture featuring herself and her husband as an 80s Bollywood couple, giving fans a glimpse of how the two might have looked during the decade known for its distinctive fashion and cinematic style. The actress shared the picture on Instagram on Wednesday. The retro-themed image features Sidharth in a classic double-denim outfit paired with dark aviator sunglasses. Kiara, meanwhile, can be seen wearing a vibrant pink dress with puffed sleeves, along with oversized hoop earrings and bangles. The styling gives the couple a distinctly vintage Bollywood appearance. Adding to the mood of the post, Kiara used the romantic track Samjho Na from Sidharth's upcoming film, The Vvaan. The combination of the AI-generated visuals, retro styling and the song quickly grabbed attention from social media users. Fans were quick to react to the couple's transformation. One comment read, What a model of a couple. Another fan wrote, Them in their retro era. A third social media user compared the pair with one of Bollywood's popular on-screen pairings, writing, They look like Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon. Kiara and Sidharth have remained one of Bollywood's much-followed celebrity couples since their relationship became a topic of public interest. The two reportedly grew close while working together on Shershaah in 2021. Although they largely kept their relationship away from the spotlight, their chemistry during the film's promotions led to widespread dating rumours. After years of speculation, the couple got married in an intimate ceremony in Jaisalmer in February 2023. They later celebrated their wedding with family and friends in Delhi and Mumbai. Since then, they have mostly maintained a private approach to their personal lives while occasionally sharing moments with their fans. In 2025, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Saraayah. On the work front, Kiara was last seen in Geetu Mohandas' Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups, which also starred Yash, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Nayanthara and Rukmini Vasanth. Meanwhile, Sidharth is gearing up for the release of The Vvaan. Directed by Arunabh Kumar and Deepak Kumar Mishra, the fantasy thriller also features Tamannaah Bhatia, Shweta Tiwari, Sunil Grover and Maniesh Paul. Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with TVF and 11.11 Production, the film is scheduled to release on September 25.

For the limited-overs series, Gaikwad takes over captaincy, with Padikkal serving as his deputy. The 50-over squad boasts significant international experience, highlighted by the inclusion of Pandya, provided he passes the fitness assessment at the BCCI CoE in Bengaluru. The one-day batting unit features explosive batters Priyansh Arya, two-time IPL-winning captain and India batter Rajat Patidar, and versatile Punjab batter Naman Dhir, who has set the stage on fire in the ongoing Sher-e-Punjab T20 league.

'India's mindset changing', Riteshwar Maharaj praises 'Hanuman Ansh' amid Cong criticism

Digital Desk | Prayagraj, Sep 9 (IANS) Sadguru Riteshwar Ji Maharaj, head of Shri Anandam Dham, heaped praise on the film 'Hanuman Ansh', stating that admiration for such films inspired by life of revered spiritual guru Neem Karoli Baba was because of the change in India's cultural mindset over the recent years. He said that while funds he described as anti-national were earlier being used in Bollywood to weaken India's historical and religious heritage, the film industry is now increasingly producing content centred on the country's heroes, religion and culture. Speaking to IANS, Sahguru Riteshwar Maharaj said India's identity is rooted in Sanatan culture and argued that films and web series continue to have a strong influence on society, particularly on younger generations. India's culture is Sanatan culture. Unfortunately, anti-national money was previously being utilised in Hollywood and Bollywood. They were dismantling our culture -- destroying everything from our youth and historical memories to our religious heritage. In recent years, however, Bollywood has begun producing films centred on our heroes, our religion, and our culture. Films continue to influence people; both web series and movies have an impact, he said. Riteshwar Maharaj said the increasing participation of Sanatanis and nationalists in the entertainment sector could play an important role in strengthening cultural values among the younger generation. He also cited 'Hanuman Ansh' as an example of a film that, despite being made on a relatively small budget, has generated substantial earnings. 'Hanuman Ansh' is based on the life of a saint and Lord Hanuman. Despite being a low-budget production, it has also emerged as a source of substantial earnings, he noted. This means that India's mindset has now changed, he added. The spiritual leader further said that India was seeking to reconnect with its Sanatan roots while simultaneously embracing modern technologies and new-age fields. He said the younger generations, including Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha, want the country to combine technological advancement with the Sanatan Vedic tradition. According to him, bringing these apparently different spheres together could help India regain its position as a Vishwaguru. Riteshwar Maharaj said these developments were only early indications of a much larger transformation that could take place in the country. This came as Congress leader Rashid Alvi on Sunday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of using religion as a political tool to influence people's minds and secure votes, while also criticising the demolition of a mosque inside the Saharanpur Collectorate campus in Uttar Pradesh. About the spiritual film Hanuman Ansh, written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, Alvi alleged that films of this nature were being made as part of a broader attempt to influence people through religious sentiments and use faith for political gains. The film chronicles the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, popularly known as Maharaj Ji. Responding to the criticism, Riteshwar Maharaj said that India's political system has historically been guided by the principles of Dharma and that religious values should remain above political interests. India is the land of Sanatan culture. Politics is born from Dharma (righteousness/religion). If Dharma is the mother, then politics is the daughter. If the seat of Dharma is placed below the political throne, the country's condition would mirror that of Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Afghanistan, he said. Our country has always placed the religious throne above the political throne, with the latter operating under the former's guidance. In such a scenario, everyone lives happily, free from depression, and the nation remains united, Riteshwar Maharaj said. Talking about Alvi, he said, I do not follow his statements; I have only heard about it from you. But one's statements reflect one's mindset. Anyone who carries the spirit of India and Sanatan within them can never oppose truth, Dharma, and love, he said. India's culture should continue to progress in this manner. It is the opposition's role to engage in rhetoric and speak against the government; such things are expected in a democracy, he added. Riteshwar Maharaj also said that the government should distinguish between criticism made merely for political rhetoric and concerns that genuinely involve public interest. If allegations were being raised simply for the sake of criticism, the government should not allow such statements to distract it from its work, he said, adding, however, whenever an issue appeared to involve public interest, the government should put aside ego and be willing to acknowledge the concern with humility and take corrective action, he remarked.

On 59th birthday, Akshay Kumar shares small thought on evil and good ahead of Haiwaan release: Im giving you a side of me you havent seen before

Akshay Kumar turned 59 on September 9, 2026, and marked his birthday with a reflective note for his fans. With his next film, Haiwaan, set to release in theatres later this week, the actor shared a thought about the difference between appearances and reality while teasing audiences about his role in the upcoming psychological thriller. Taking to social media, Akshay wrote, On my birthday, a small thought What looks evil may not always be evil. And what looks good may not always be good. Maybe thats what HAIWAAN taught me.

The post comes just two days before the theatrical release of Haiwaan, which is scheduled to hit cinemas on September 11. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar) Akshay Kumar steps into an outright evil role Haiwaan marks a different turn for Akshay, who has moved across genres in his recent projects. During the release of the films teaser in August, the actor opened up about portraying a character without any shades of morality. As the title goes, I am playing Haiwaan and my character has no grey shades; he's out-and-out evil. I always wanted to play a psycho on screen, he said. Akshay also explained that the role gave him an opportunity to push himself as a performer. With my last four-five films, I have tried to switch between completely different genres: comedy, horror, action, drama. This is my first time playing evil in the truest sense. I like to constantly challenge myself and Haiwaan is that challenge for me. Directed by Priyadarshan, Haiwaan brings Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan together for a dark psychological thriller. The reunion of the two actors has added to the anticipation surrounding the film, particularly as the story takes them into a darker and more intense setting. Haiwaan is scheduled to release in theatres on September 11, 2026.

Jay Sean looks back on 23 years of Dance With You: There was no strategy, no overthinking, just pure vibes

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 9 (IANS) As his song Dance With You turned 23, British singer Jay Sean looked back on the journey of his iconic track and spoke about how he, Rishi Rich and Juggy D walked into a studio with no idea that their music would go on to resonate with South Asians across the world. Jay took to Instagram and shared a glimpse of the track, which also appeared in the 2003 film Boom, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, Jackky Shroff, Zeenat Aman, and Padma Lakshmi, to name a few. 23 years ago, the three of us walked into a studio and made a song with no idea where it might lead. There was no strategy, no overthinking, just pure vibes. We were just enjoying making the music that felt natural to us - bringing together the sounds and cultures that had shaped who we were, she wrote in the caption. Dance With You went on to become so much to so many. Even tho it marked the beginning of my career, and in so many ways, the beginning of a life I could only dream of- what means even more to me today is what it became for other people, he wrote. The singer, whose real name is Kamaljit Singh Jhooti, added: To see something we created so instinctively connect with, particularly, South Asians around the world and become part of peoples memories and help shape a sound and a space for our community in music was something none of us could have predicted. Thats the incredible power of music, he stressed. You create something from a feeling, you release it into the world, and from that moment on it no longer belongs only to you. More than two decades later, I look back at this song with nothing but gratitude. For the doors it opened, the lives it changed, the people it reached and the journey it started. He went on to heap praise on his brothers Rishi Rich and Juggy D, who worked with him on this song. To my brother @rishirich you are a visionary. @therealjuggyd so many great memories we all get to have. What a time. 23 yrs later, the journey and the music continues

'Sardar 2' is slated to hit screens worldwide on September 10. The film has triggered huge interest among fans and film buffs for various reasons. In fact, actor Karthi, while speaking at the trailer launch event of the film, had said that audiences who watched the film would not be able to ignore the point the film looked to make as it pertained to a stunning truth about their health and well being. Participating in the audio and trailer launch of the film, Karthi had said, You might have continued the practice of drinking water from plastic water bottles, but after watching this film, you won't be able to ignore the point it looks to make. That is because we're spoken about a truth that pertains to your health and that issue is bound to leave you shaken. For the unaware, director P S Mithran had, in 'Sardar', which was the prequel to 'Sardar 2', highlighted the issue of commercialisation of water. The film had gone on to emerge a huge blockbuster. Now, in the second part of the spy thriller, the director has looked to showcase issues pertaining to health and hygiene. The unit of 'Sardar 2' had wrapped up its shooting in Bangkok in June last year. Actress Malavika Mohanan, who shared a picture from the sets of the film in Bangkok on her Instagram stories, had in May last year, disclosed during a question and answer session with fans that she would be wrapping up 'Sardar 2' in June, 2025. Interestingly, the unit completed a 100 days of shooting in April last year. While announcing the sequel to Sardar, the makers had released a promo that showed Karthis character being sent as a spy to Cambodia. When asked whether the story indeed moved to Cambodia or whether it took place in China, Mithran had said, Initially, the story goes to Cambodia and then shifts to China. On the technical front, 'Sardar 2' has cinematography by George Williams and music by Sam C S. Editing for the film is by Vijay Velukutty and Art direction is by MSP Madhavan, B. Sekar. The film has been written by Rathna Kumar, Aashameera Aiyappan and Vignesh Muniyand and stunts for the film have been choreographed by Dhilip Subbarayan and Chethan D'Souza.

Duleep Trophy 2026: Shami, Mukesh Shine As East Zone Take Control Of Final Against South

MA Chidambaram Stadium: India internationals Mohammed Shami and Mukesh Kumar starred with the ball as East Zone ended Day 3 of the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in ascendancy. Both Shami and Mukesh took two wickets each as the Tilak Varma-led South were restricted to 242/6 in the first innings and ended the day trailing by 466. Devdutt Padikkal (62) and Tilak Varma (56*) scored half-centuries, but the South Zone batters would regret their dismissals, even though Tilak remains unbeaten and the sole hope for an improbable comeback. The South batters had poor shot selection, and the East bowlers found some spice with even the older ball, using reverse swing to trouble the South batters, who got starts but not as much as the East batters, especially Ishan Kishan, who scored 270. Ricky Bhui was the first one to be dismissed when he edged one behind for stand-in wicketkeeper Kumar Kushagra to palm it. East Zone vice-captain Vaibhav Sooryavanshi insisted on a review to overturn the umpire's not-out call for Bhui's caught-behind appeal, which was later given out on DRS. Narayan Jagadeesan fell victim to poor shot selection, slicing Shikhar Mohan to point as South went to lunch at 115/2. The East bowlers continued to do a good job in the second session too, and the seamers found reverse swing. They kept the lid on the batters as Shami dismissed Shaik Rasheed for his first. The Indian veteran pacer bowled short spells and was seen to be troubled by a neck issue soon after lunch. Padikkal made a strong fifty but holed Mukesh Kumar out to deep square leg. Sooryavanshi took the captain's armband for a brief period in the later part of the second session as Ishan Kishan was off the field. He brought in Shami for a brief spell, and the pacer got the highest Ranji Trophy scorer from the previous season, Smaran Ravichandran. This time Kushagra insisted for the review to Sooryavanshi after the umpire did not pick the edge. They kept the lid on the batters as Shami dismissed Shaik Rasheed for his first. The Indian veteran pacer bowled short spells and was seen to be troubled by a neck issue soon after lunch.

Matilda Baxter hits back at critics over her Barbie waist surgery results

Highlights: Matilda Baxter, reported to have close to a million Instagram followers, has responded publicly to what she describes as cruel comments about her appearance. Baxter underwent a rib-contouring procedure, marketed online as a Barbie waist surgery, in Bali earlier this year. The procedure isn't currently available in Australia, and medical professionals have raised concerns about both the health risks involved and the body standard it promotes. Matilda Baxter has had enough of reading comments about her body. The influencer, known to her large Instagram following as Tilds Search, has addressed what she describes as cruel criticism of her appearance since undergoing a rib-contouring procedure in Bali earlier this year. Reports on her exact age vary, with some outlets putting her at 21 and others at 23. What actually happened? Baxter travelled to Bali as part of a sponsored trip alongside other influencers to undergo a procedure marketed as a Barbie waist surgery, which reshapes the lower floating ribs to create a dramatically narrower waist without removing bone. When she first shared the results, she posted a video of herself in lingerie, calling the transformation insane and telling followers it wasn't edited. Since then, she has continued to post updates on her changed appearance, including a comparison between how she looked in 2023 and how she looks now, defending her decision each time criticism has followed. Why has this drawn medical concern specifically? Because the procedure carries real risks that go beyond typical cosmetic surgery. Rib contouring isn't currently available in Australia, and medical professionals have publicly raised concerns both about the physical risks of altering rib structure for cosmetic reasons and about the unrealistic body standard the trend promotes to a young, largely female audience online. Baxter wasn't the only influencer involved in the sponsored trip, and she isn't the only public figure to have undergone the procedure and later asked followers for privacy during recovery. What's confirmed Baxter's age Reported as 21-23, sources vary Instagram following Reported as close to 1 million, not independently verified Procedure Rib-contouring Barbie waist surgery, performed in Bali Availability in Australia Not currently offered Medical stance Professionals have raised health and body-standard concerns What did the criticism actually say? Some followers questioned her changed appearance directly, with comments expressing worry rather than the usual mix of praise and negativity that follows most influencer posts. Baxter has responded to the criticism by defending her decision, framing the backlash as unfair given it was her own choice to make about her own body. Why does a story like this matter beyond one influencer? Because the trend itself is bigger than any single person involved in it. Sponsored trips promoting elective procedures with real, documented medical risk are increasingly common in influencer marketing, and the gap between how these transformations are presented online and the actual health concerns raised by professionals is exactly what's fuelling the current debate. Baxter's video may have been about her own comment section, but the conversation it's reignited is a much wider one about what's actually being marketed to young audiences as an aspirational body standard.

BRICS Summit: Delhi Traffic Police urges citizens, cab services to follow advisory for affected routes

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 8 (IANS) The Delhi Traffic Police on Tuesday urged citizens and cab service providers to go through the advisory issued for routes where movement will be restricted, in view of the upcoming BRICS Summit in the national capital. Speaking to IANS, Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Dinesh Kumar Gupta said: The BRICS Summit will be held in India on September 11, 12 and 13. Delhi Traffic Police has its detailed traffic arrangements in place for this. We are conducting rehearsals under these arrangements. These rehearsals give our staff some practice, and our aim is to ensure that there are no difficulties during the movement of dignitaries during the summit, he added. Gupta said that the advisories are being shared with the public through the Delhi Police website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and print media so that the public does not face inconvenience during the movement. We have 22 diversion points in place, under which we will divert the public from designated points. We have also briefed our staff to guide people, wherever needed, regarding the diverted routes, he added. He noted that the closure of all schools and government offices on September 11, would make it easy for the police to manage traffic movement. The senior police officer also said that liaisons are being made with navigation maps and cab service providers so that they integrate the police advisories into their system so that the public are aware and do not face any difficulty while travelling. Urging citizens to go through the official advisory before travelling on the days of the Summit, Gupta said: The advisory contains details of all the routes that will be affected. Earlier on Tuesday, the National Testing Agency (NTA) advised candidates appearing for the UGC NET June 2026 re-examination in Delhi to plan their journeys well in advance, citing possible travel restrictions in the national capital on September 9 and 10 that could lead to longer road journeys and delays in reaching examination centres. In an advisory issued for candidates, the testing agency urged those appearing for the examination to check their travel routes beforehand, leave early, and keep sufficient additional time in hand to account for possible traffic restrictions, diversions or delays during their journey to the designated examination centres.

Selena Gomez just posted One day.. next to a newborn photo, and it's the third time in months she's dropped this exact hint

Highlights: Selena Gomez shared an Instagram story this week showing her holding a newborn baby, captioned simply One day.. alongside a crying-with-joy emoji. It's not an isolated post. In October, she captioned a clip of her Wizards Beyond Waverly Place character becoming a mother with Hopefully one day that'll be me, and more recently told a podcast she wants four children. Gomez has spoken publicly about medical issues that mean she can't safely carry a pregnancy herself, and has said she's open to surrogacy or adoption instead. Selena Gomez has a way of saying the same thing without repeating herself. This week it was a newborn baby photo on her Instagram story, captioned One day.. Back in October, it was a clip from her own show, captioned Hopefully one day that'll be me. Different post, same two words, same quiet ache sitting underneath both of them. What did she actually post this time? An Instagram story showing Gomez with a newborn baby, the caption reading simply One day.. alongside a smiling-through-tears emoji and a small cloud. It's brief, unexplained, and exactly the kind of post that invites speculation precisely because it doesn't spell anything out. Married to music producer Benny Blanco since September 2025, Gomez has let these small, unfussy moments do the talking rather than any formal announcement. Why does this keep happening? Because the wish is real, and she's been fairly open about it. In October, Gomez shared a scene from Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, in which her character Alex Russo discovers she's a mother, captioned with the same hope: Hopefully one day that'll be me. More recently, on husband Benny Blanco's podcast, she went further than a caption, telling him and his co-hosts she actually wants four children, tracing the idea back to a dinner-table scene in the 2005 film The Family Stone that she says she can't get out of her head, picturing herself one day surrounded by a full table of grown children the way Diane Keaton's character is in that film. What's the medical context behind all this? A serious one, which is part of why these small hints carry real weight. Gomez has said publicly that medical issues mean carrying a pregnancy herself could put her life and the baby's in jeopardy, forcing her to grieve the version of motherhood she'd once pictured. She's said she's open to surrogacy or adoption instead, and has been clear that whichever path it ends up being, the child will be hers all the same. The pattern so far October Hopefully one day that'll be me, captioned on a Wizards Beyond Waverly Place clip Recent podcast appearance Says she wants four children, inspired by The Family Stone This week Newborn photo captioned One day.. Married to Benny Blanco, since September 2025 Stated path to motherhood Open to surrogacy or adoption Does Benny Blanco feel the same way? By his own account, yes, enthusiastically. Blanco has spoken separately about looking forward to being a father, and has described Gomez, someone he calls typically shy in a room full of strangers, as someone who comes alive specifically around children. Between his comments and hers, the picture that emerges isn't one dramatic announcement waiting to happen. It's two people who've been saying the same quiet thing in different ways for the better part of a year. Quick answers Is Selena Gomez pregnant? No. There's no confirmation of a pregnancy. The recent Instagram story is a hint about future plans, not an announcement. Can Selena Gomez carry her own children? She's said publicly that medical issues make carrying a pregnancy risky for her, and that she's open to surrogacy or adoption instead. When did Selena Gomez marry Benny Blanco? The couple married in September 2025, after going public with their relationship in late 2023.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's Tactical Awareness Plots South Zone's Wickets As East Star With Ball

MA Chidambaram Stadium: East Zone vice-captain Vaibhav Sooryavanshi plotted a couple of South Zone wickets as the teenage sensation played a key role in the dismissals of Ricky Bhui and star batter Smaran Ravichandran in the Duleep Trophy final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Sooryavanshi insisted on a review to overturn the umpire's not-out call for Bhui's caught-behind appeal and then used Mohammed Shami late before tea for the scalp of Ravichandran, the highest run-scorer of the previous Ranji Trophy season. After East Zone put up a mountain of 708 on the back of captain Ishan Kishan's 270, East struck early with the ball in the first session of Day 2.

All about this effortless beauty avatar of Janhvi Kapoor: Actress keeps it understated with concealer, pink blush and nude lips

The approach that Janhvi Kapoor has opted for makeup leans towards a soft and natural aesthetic, with subtle tones and minimal layers taking centre stage. The actor recently offered a glimpse into her makeup routine, revealing the simple steps she follows to create a polished look without making it appear overly done. From the base to the final lip colour, her routine focuses on a small selection of products and understated shades. The look revolves around three key elements concealer, soft pink blush and nude-pink lips. Together, the three create a cohesive makeup palette that can work for everyday outings, casual occasions or moments when the aim is to keep the beauty look understated. Janhvi begins by using concealer as the foundation of her makeup. She applies the product across her face with her fingers, spreading it evenly instead of building multiple layers. This approach keeps the base light while helping create a more even-looking complexion. She then uses the concealer wand under her eyes, adding coverage specifically to the area that may require a little more attention. Blending the product with her fingers allows the base to retain a natural-looking finish rather than appearing heavily layered. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Janhvi Kapoor (@janhvikapoor) Once the base is in place, Janhvi moves on to blush. She chooses a liquid blush in a soft pink shade and applies it directly to her face before blending it out with her fingers. The muted pink adds a rosy flush to the cheeks without overpowering the rest of the makeup. Keeping the colour soft also allows the complexion to remain fresh and understated, while adding some definition to the overall look. For the final step, Janhvi opts for a nude-pink lip colour. The muted shade complements the pink blush while maintaining the soft colour palette used throughout the routine. The finished look demonstrates how a few well-coordinated beauty elements can create an effortlessly polished appearance. By relying on light coverage, soft pink tones and a neutral lip, Janhvi Kapoors routine offers a straightforward take on everyday makeup that feels fresh, subtle and easy to recreate.

'My Best Game Comes Under Pressure': Ishan On Record-breaking 270 In Duleep Trophy Final

Duleep Trophy Final: India batter and East Zone captain Ishan Kishan believes the pressure of big matches brings out the best in him, as he reflected on his monumental 270 in the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Kishan produced one of the finest knocks in Duleep Trophy history, smashing 270 off 334 balls with 30 fours and seven sixes to help East Zone post a mammoth 708 in their first innings. His knock is the eighth-highest individual score in the history of the competition. Speaking in a BCCI video ahead of the start of Day 3, Kishan said he thrives in situations where the stakes are high and pressure is mounting. I think when its a big match, theres a kind of pressure. And I feel that in that pressure, my best game comes, because when youre batting, youre a little nervous, but at the same time, youre aggressive too. Youre watching; if you get the ball, youll hit it. So I think its a very good mixture of calm and being aggressive. So it works a lot for me when there are such stages, where either the wickets have fallen early. Whenever Im in such situations, I enjoy it a lot, Kishan said. Kishans approach during the marathon innings was built around patience and playing according to the situation rather than chasing personal milestones. He said he constantly broke the teams target into smaller goals while batting. Rather than thinking about your own batting, you have your team goal. What will benefit the team? So when you move forward according to that, your batting becomes very good. If the total has reached 400 now, lets do 450 first. Then lets do 450 to 500. So, you know, this is a process that you go through, Kishan said. The left-hander also explained how he dealt with the challenging conditions and a softening ball at Chepauk, where the large boundaries demanded considerable effort from the batters. Its very difficult. You have to put in a lot of effort to hit shots. The boundary on one side was very big. The ball was getting soft in between. So you had to put in a lot of effort for the boundary, Kishan said. Kishan also revealed how he adjusted his technique against Mohammad Siraj, particularly when the pacer attempted to unsettle him with short deliveries. When Siraj was putting in, I was batting more bent down. It wasnt to tackle the bouncer. But it was to avoid throwing the wicket. If I go to hit it and get out somewhere, he said. Kishan initially shared a major partnership with Kumar Kushagra, who scored 101 off 132 balls, before continuing his assault against a tiring South Zone attack. Kushagras dismissal for 101 came shortly before lunch, but Kishan continued to dominate, reaching his double century off 270 balls. He then accelerated further and moved beyond 250 before briefly retiring due to fatigue. He returned to the crease after Mohammed Shamis quickfire 28 and attempted to push towards a rare triple century. However, with wickets falling at the other end, Kishan was eventually caught near the long-on boundary for 270, leaving him 30 runs short of the landmark. Reflecting on the innings, Kishan said the quality of his strokeplay gave him confidence throughout the long stay at the crease. He returned to the crease after Mohammed Shamis quickfire 28 and attempted to push towards a rare triple century. However, with wickets falling at the other end, Kishan was eventually caught near the long-on boundary for 270, leaving him 30 runs short of the landmark.

Ab main ye sab aapke saath share karna chahti hoon. 5 songs over the next three months. 5 different moods, 5 different fears and 5 different versions of me and maybe you.

'One District, One Mafia' had become UP's identity before 2017, says CM Yogi

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 8 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said the situation in the state before 2017 was marked by poor law and order, widespread criminal activities, and the dominance of mafia elements, with 'One District, One Mafia' becoming its identity. Addressing the two-day 'UP Textile Conclave-2026', the Chief Minister welcomed entrepreneurs, investors, exporters, traditional weavers, handloom operators, industry representatives, and young people associated with the textile sector. First of all, I extend a heartfelt welcome and greetings to all the distinguished entrepreneurs, investors and exporters from the textile sector across the country, as well as traditional weavers, handloom operators, all the dignitaries and young friends who see their future in this sector, he said. Highlighting Uttar Pradesh's long-standing textile traditions, the Chief Minister said the state's textile heritage had historical links with India's cultural and economic development. He said that when gifts of clothing were presented by the King of Kashi at Yudhishthira's Rajasuya Yagya, ancient texts such as the Mahabharata made references to silk and pure cotton garments. Also referring to the period of Lord Ram's exile, he said religious scriptures mention Mata Janaki receiving divine garments at a sage's ashram. The textiles produced in India, particularly those made in Uttar Pradesh, were not only in demand in India but also in markets around the world, he said. If you look at Roman culture or Greek culture, there was a huge demand there as well for these textiles made in India and Uttar Pradesh. This means that the tradition of sending these products from here to other places existed even then, the Chief Minister said. He also highlighted several major textile and manufacturing centres across the state, including Varanasi's silk sarees, Bhadohi's carpets, Lucknow's chikankari, and Kanpur's textile, leather, and industrial manufacturing ecosystem. CM Adityanath also mentioned Agra's footwear and allied manufacturing sector, Sitapur's textile manufacturing capabilities, and Meerut's sports goods industry and the potential for technical textiles. These are not merely textile clusters of Uttar Pradesh. They represent different facets of Uttar Pradesh's textile heritage and industrial capabilities. These different facets visible across different regions draw our attention to the potential of the textile sector in Uttar Pradesh, he said. Recalling the situation in Uttar Pradesh before 2017, Adityanath claimed the state's law and order situation was in disarray and alleged that mafia groups had established parallel systems of governance in several districts. Friends, what the situation in Uttar Pradesh was like before 2017 is not hidden from anyone. Law and order in the state was in disarray, he said. In every district, a parallel government run by the mafia operated. In other words, 'One District, One Mafia' had become the identity of Uttar Pradesh. Across the state, the industries of murder, extortion, illegal occupation, goon tax, and kidnapping were flourishing. Professional mafias and goons operated their own system parallel to the government, he claimed. He further alleged that the prevailing environment had affected the safety of women, traders and potential investors. At that time, neither daughters were safe, nor traders were safe. Investors would come from outside with dreams of doing business and return with a slip of paper from the mafia demanding payment, Adityanath claimed. The Chief Minister also alleged that festivals and celebrations could not be conducted peacefully because of frequent disturbances and riots. No festival or celebration could be held peacefully. In other words, disturbances would begin before the festivities. Across the state, there would be a major riot every third day, with the entire state engulfed in the flames of riots. Major riots took place in Bareilly, Kosi Kalan in Mathura, Muzaffarnagar and Saharanpur on a large scale, he said. He said prolonged curfews and the closure of educational institutions and markets had a direct impact on economic activity. Curfews would remain in place for months. Schools and colleges would be closed. If there was a curfew, the markets would remain closed, and if the markets remained closed, business would inevitably come to a standstill. People could not even leave their homes. And when such a situation exists, the economy cannot move forward. A perception had taken hold, the Chief Minister said. He said Uttar Pradesh had also acquired a negative perception because of poor infrastructure and inadequate lighting in several areas. I always mention this point: before 2017, Uttar Pradesh had come to be perceived as a place where, once the roads became bad and darkness began as soon as evening arrived, you could assume that you had entered the borders of Uttar Pradesh. This was the situation in Uttar Pradesh before 2017, he said.

Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia wound 73 people, officials say

Cairo, Sep 08: More than 70 people were wounded in a wave of Houthi attacks Tuesday on Saudi Arabia, authorities said, a major escalation in the renewed conflict between an important US ally and the Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen. The attacks come after weeks of escalating clashes between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen, which shattered a four-year truce in the country's civil war. Fighting has raged on fronts including Yemen's west coast, with government forces saying they have made territorial gains in the provinces of Hodeida, Taiz and Baydah. The Houthi have also launched attacks on Saudi oil facilities and tankers in the Red Sea. The attacks early Tuesday hit civilian and economic facilities in the Saudi cities of Abha's Jazan, Najran and Khamis Mushait said Maj Gen. Turki al-Malki, a spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, said in a statement. Al-Malki said the attacks wounded 73 people, including women and children. He didn't provide a breakdown or further details. He called the attacks a serious escalation and a flagrant violation of the kingdom's sovereignty, and a direct threat to the security and safety of its citizens and residents. Al-Malki vowed retaliation, saying that the Saudi-led coalition will take all necessary operational measures to deter the terrorist Houthi militia with utmost resolve. The Houthis did not comment on the attacks, but said a statement about a large-scale military operation deep inside Saudi Arabia would be released. Nasruddin Amer, deputy head of the Houthi media office overseeing the Saba news agency run by the rebels, took to social media to laud the attacks. The Saudi enemy has to understand that the time for committing crimes and massacres against the Yemeni people without response, deterrence, or paying a price has ended, he said. The attacks came hours after the rebels blamed Saudi Arabia for an airstrike that hit a prison in Yemen's northern province of Jawf. At least seven people, including a child, were killed and seven others were wounded in the strike in the city of Hazem, the Houthis said Yemen's civil war began in 2014 when the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and much of northern Yemen and forced the government into exile. A Saudi-led coalition, including the United Arab Emirates, intervened the following year to try to restore the government to power. Tensions rose earlier this year between US allies Saudi Arabia and the UAE as their partnership in the war in Yemen broke down, leading to the UAE pulling out of Yemen. The civil war in Yemen has killed at least 150,000 people, according to UN estimates, and at times pushed the country to the brink of famine.
