Bhumi Pednekar has spoken out following the alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl inside a moving sleeper bus in the Delhi-NCR region. The incident has raised fresh concerns about the safety of women and minors while travelling on private buses. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has also taken cognisance of the case. Bhumi addressed the incident through her Instagram Stories on Monday. Questioning how such cases continue to occur despite repeated discussions about womens safety, she wrote, How can we see this happen again and again and again! Shame! According to a Hindustan Times report, Delhi Police arrested the driver and conductor of a sleeper bus for allegedly gang-raping the minor. Police said the teenager, a Class 11 student from Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh, was allegedly misled into boarding the bus in Greater Noida earlier this month. The accused allegedly drove her across different parts of Delhi-NCR before abandoning her near Kashmere Gate. The case has also resulted in a jurisdictional dispute between the police forces of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. UP Police have alleged that Delhi Police did not inform them about the incident despite the alleged assault taking place within the Gautam Buddh Nagar Commissionerate area. According to Delhi Police, the teenager had left her home on August 3 without informing her parents after being reprimanded by her mother over her studies. She was travelling to her cousins residence in Sector 63, Noida. Police said the girl accidentally got down at Pari Chowk after it became dark and heavy rain began. She reportedly signalled to an approaching bus for help, following which the conductor allegedly told her that the bus was headed towards Sector 63. She boarded the vehicle, where police said there were no other passengers. The conductor allegedly behaved inappropriately with her after the bus started moving. Police alleged that both the driver and conductor sexually assaulted the teenager and threatened to kill her when she resisted. Following the complaint, Delhi Police registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The girl underwent a medical examination, which confirmed the assault. Investigators used CCTV footage and other information to trace the bus to a parking area in Timarpur, north Delhi. The vehicle was seized and sent for forensic examination. The teenager was subsequently produced before the Child Welfare Committee and, following its directions, handed over to her father. On the work front, Bhumi was last seen in Daldal, where she portrayed DCP Rita Ferreira, a police officer investigating a series of murders in Mumbai while dealing with a troubled past. The series, based on Vish Dhamijas bestselling novel Bhendi Bazaar, is streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Before Daldal, Bhumi appeared in films including Mere Husband Ki Biwi, Khel Khel Mein and Bhakshak.

Indian Premier League: Indian Premier League founder Lalit Modi emphasised that the growth of state T20 leagues is a positive development for Indian cricket that can help identify talent at local levels, but cautioned that very close monitoring should be carried out by the state cricket associations to keep them free from any possible corrupt approaches. The rise of state T20 leagues has helped unleash a new generation of cricketers, with several players making the most of the opportunities and attracting the attention of state associations and IPL franchises. IPL founder Lalit Modi heaped praise on the potential of those leagues to pave the way for players but cautioned to keep a close tab on them. I think state leagues are a positive development for Indian cricket. This was bound to happen as the IPL ecosystem grew, and if properly structured, these leagues can become an excellent pathway for young and undiscovered talent to perform under pressure, get noticed and potentially graduate to the IPL and higher levels, Modi told IANS. However, with the rapid growth of these leagues comes a serious responsibility. They must be professionally executed and very closely monitored by the respective state associations, with strong independent governance. My biggest concern would always be integrity, he added. The IPL founder further stressed the need to monitor the leagues, highlighting the risk of exposure to potential corrupt approaches. Smaller leagues can become particularly vulnerable to approaches from bookmakers, match-fixing, spot-fixing, player manipulation, conflicts of interest, questionable ownership or financial interests and other corrupt practices if adequate safeguards are not established from day one. Every league should therefore have robust anti-corruption protocols, player education, strict control over access to players and dressing rooms, proper scrutiny of owners and officials, transparent contracts and payments, independent audits, and active monitoring of suspicious betting patterns, the 62-year-old further said. Modi also emphasised that there is a need to monitor the operations of state cricket associations, as they need to be clean and transparent for state leagues to remain in the same way. And this is precisely why the governance of the state association itself matters. You cannot expect a league to be clean, transparent and professionally run if the institution supervising it is facing serious questions about its own governance. UPCA is an example where, over the years, allegations and controversies concerning governance, transparency, conflicts and the influence exercised by powerful administrators have repeatedly been raised publicly. Rajiv Shukla has been a prominent figure associated with UPCA and Indian cricket administration. Rather than allowing such questions to linger, they should be independently examined and answered transparently, he said. He further highlighted that the cricket administration in the state associations must not fall into the hands of individuals. The lesson for every state association should therefore be simple: do not allow cricket administration to become a private club controlled by a handful of individuals, Modi said. He emphasised the importance of regulatory oversight, disclose conflicts of interest, scrutinise franchise ownership and funding, audit the money independently, and make administrators accountable for their decisions. While the growth of T20 cricket has been a boon for Indian cricket, Modi said that expansion without governance can very quickly become a liability. He emphasised the importance of regulatory oversight, disclose conflicts of interest, scrutinise franchise ownership and funding, audit the money independently, and make administrators accountable for their decisions. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories The IPL founder also shared an Instagram post in which he highlighted the importance of institution building. I built the IPL so it would never need me. Nearly two decades later, it keeps breaking records. That's not success. That's institution building, he wrote. Article Source: IANS
PM hails 7.8% GDP growth, urges people to avoid buying gold, foreign trips
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday applauded the country's people for the 7.8 per cent GDP growth rate, calling the feat particularly impressive, coming against the backdrop of global turmoil, geopolitical conflicts, and supply chain disruptions. In a video message on Instagram, the prime minister also slammed those spreading jhooth ki goonj (an apparent riff on Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron ki Goonj' campaign), saying the latest GDP growth rate tore through the narrative of pessimism about the Indian economy. Modi said India must maintain the growth momentum and continue working towards greater self-reliance and 'Swadeshi'. We must maintain this momentum. We must keep moving forward, and for that, becoming Atmanirbhar Bharat is essential, he said. The prime minister said if people continue to stress on Swadeshi and self-reliance, the country's youth will be presented with a developed India in the 100th year of Independence. He also asked people not to go for foreign holiday

Lionel Messi Retires From International Football: Full Stats, Records
Lionel Messi has officially retired from international football. On August 31, 2026, the Argentina captain confirmed on Instagram that he is stepping away from the national team, closing the book on a 20-year international career that redefined what one player could
Gurdeep Mehndi is slowly and steadily making his mark as a singer and composer, carving an identity of his own beyond that of his father, Daler Mehndi, and uncle, Mika Singh. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Gurdeep spoke about his latest single as a singer, Chan Mahi. He also features in the music video alongside Aditi Sharma, and its unique, cinematic visuals have been widely appreciated. What kind of reactions have you received for Chan Mahi? The ones who are close to me and are also my toughest critics have observed that it is nothing like my regular stuff. Its a very different genre. Normally, I go for commercial music or whatever is trending. But many people told me that this song is not run-of-the-mill and that they love it. Its a slow, sad, romantic number. Iske lyrics ek pukaar hain. Chan Mahi is about a person telling his or her lover that tu mat jaa. But the beat, music and overall atmosphere of the song are completely different. You can play this song in a club, in a car or even at a house party! The video is novel a woman who repeatedly encounters her beloved in familiar spaces, blurring the line between memory and reality. How did the concept get locked? This music video is quite cinematic. Normally, a regular, formulaic music video has hook steps, four cars and girls! But since the feel of this song is different, I told music director Manil Kandwal that the video should focus on a different kind of obsession with your lover. It is like, main tere saath bhi nahin reh sakta aur tere bagair bhi nahin reh sakta. Even if I try to stay away from you, my body doesnt allow me to. My eyes, my mind, my everything leads back to you the person I love. Hence, she sees her lover in every guy she bumps into. Manil did justice to this vision of mine. He said that he would get into a serious cinema mode and treat the music video as a depiction of the feelings of someone who loves another person so deeply that they become the only endpoint. Thats what we have tried to show. How do you balance singing and composing? Is it a challenge? So, last year, I worked on a song called Sajri. I sang it, composed it and also wrote the lyrics. However, I regularly do live shows and I am also trying to do many other things. Composing is a serious process, and you need to invest a lot of time in thinking and creating a composition. Id prefer to come across as a sorted singer rather than randomly put stuff out on Instagram and YouTube. I feel that my song should make sense and impress you even if you listen to it four or five years later. Thats the hallmark of an evergreen song. Even today, we get evergreen songs like Jo Bheji Thi Duaa from Shanghai (2012), sung by Arijit Singh. Hence, instead of uploading random stuff, Id rather take my time and release songs carefully. Sadly, I am not able to devote that kind of time to composing. Hence, I source talent from outside. Thats great too, as it gives opportunities to emerging and promising artists. You recently sang a song in Haunted Echoes Of The Past, Lauta Do, and it was also a surprise Id like to thank Saregama for it. Sometimes, you need someone to make people look beyond stereotypes. Ive mostly been singing high-tempo songs that are very much rooted in pop culture. That is poles apart from the lehza and romance associated with Vikram Bhatt sahabs films. So, for them to consider Gurdeep Mehndi for a song like this was difficult. They probably couldnt even imagine me singing something in this space. I had to give an audition. I was at my home studio and sang a few lines. Thats when they realized the potential. Saregama played a big part in convincing them to try me and insisting that I am not a typical Punjabi singer. In fact, it was the Haunted song that inspired me to do Chan Mahi. I felt that if I could pull off Lauta Do, then I could pull off Chan Mahi as well. Id also like to thank Prateek Walia, who is the music composer of Haunted. When he approached me to sing the song, I decided to give it a try because I had never sung anything of this sort before. Is the Bollywood film industry warming up to you? Theres an interesting scenario when it comes to Bollywood and independent music. Those who achieved great success in Bollywood have now moved away from film music and are making waves in the independent space. For instance, Salim-Sulaiman have largely moved away from Bollywood music. On the other hand, many emerging talents feel that they cant afford to do independent songs and therefore dream of singing for Bollywood. A film song automatically gives them access to a wider audience, and sometimes crores are spent on promotions as well. But ironically, many of the champions of Bollywood music have moved away from that turf. Meanwhile, those working in the independent space are dreaming, If I get to sing in a Shah Rukh Khan film, Ill get so much visibility. To answer your question, I really want people to notice me and understand that I can sing not just Punjabi songs but different genres as well. Those who are in close contact with me are experimenting with my voice. Also, during Navratri, Ill be performing in Surat. I sing Gujarati songs too. Around 80% of my clients are Gujarati or Marwari, and I can easily perform Gujarati songs for 30-40 minutes.

India achieved 7.8 % growth despite wars, instability: PM Modi
New Delhi, Sep 01: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday commended the people for the 7.8 per cent GDP growth rate, noting that the feat was accomplished despite wars, instability, and supply chain disruptions. In a video message on Instagram, the prime minister said that if people continue to stress on Swadeshi and self-reliance, the country's youth will be presented with a developed India in the 100th year of Independence. He also asked people not to go for foreign holidays, host weddings abroad, or buy gold unless necessary. I want to congratulate the people of the country for 7.8 per cent GDP growth. It has been possible due to their collective resolve and efforts. India has achieved this milestone despite conflicts, wars and instability everywhere, Modi said. The prime minister said that since the 2020 COVID Pandemic, there has been no stability anywhere, but India progressed well. He said certain people in India have been trying to spread negativity and falsehood, but the country grew all the same. We have to maintain the speed of our growth. We have to grow. And for that we must become self-reliant. The youth's dreams need our hard work to be realised. Let's not be lacking in efforts, he said. Modi said his government's policies are good, its intention clear, and that is why the country is reaching new heights of progress. India's economy grew at a faster-than-expected 7.8 per cent in the April-June quarter, showing resilience against concerns of an economic downturn over the war in West Asia. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first quarter of the 2026-27 fiscal year slowed from a barnstorming 8.6 per cent in the previous quarter, but remained well above expectations when the conflict erupted and disrupted energy markets.

Kareena Kapoor reveals why films like 'Daayra'
Highlights Kareena Kapoor says films like Daayra make her think deeply about how she raises her sons, Taimur and Jeh. The actor wants boys to grow up kinder, more emotionally open and unafraid to cry. She revealed that one scene in Daayra left her disturbed while also becoming one of her favorite scenes. Kareena Kapoor has opened up about how Daayra made her reflect on raising her two sons, Taimur and Jeh, and the kind of men she hopes they will become. Speaking at the trailer launch of the upcoming investigative drama, the actor admitted that stories dealing with disturbing realities can be frightening from a mother's perspective. But for Kareena, they also reinforce the importance of teaching boys empathy, responsibility and emotional honesty. I am a mother of two sons, and I am terrified because, as a mother, you want to do your best and you want to protect them, Kareena said. All I wish for is that they should be kinder. Men should be kinder. Boys should be kinder. Kareena wants her sons to embrace their emotions Kareena also challenged the idea that boys should hide their emotions or avoid crying. There is this thought that a girl is always very sensitive, but that is not true, she said, adding that she encourages her sons to cry when they need to. See on Instagram I always tell my sons that if they want to cry, they should. They should experience that, she said. Her comments come as Daayra explores difficult questions around justice and the systems that are supposed to deliver it. The film stars Kareena alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran , with the story following an investigation that places their characters in a complicated situation. The Daayra scene that left her choked Kareena also singled out one scene from the film that affected her deeply. In this film, some scenes would automatically choke you, she said, recalling a sequence that became one of her favorites despite leaving her disturbed. The scene addresses the deeply rooted belief that galti hamesha ek ladki ki hoti hai, or that a girl is always blamed when something goes wrong. Kareena said Meghna Gulzar's writing made the scene particularly powerful, while the challenging nature of the material also made it rewarding to perform. Daayra marks Gulzar's return to Junglee Pictures following Talvar and Raazi . The investigative drama is written by Gulzar, Sima Agarwal and Yash Keswani, with Saurabh Goswami serving as cinematographer and Charu Shree Roy as editor. The film is backed by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios.

DPL: South Delhi Superstarz Co-owner Shikhar Dhawan Congratulates Team On Title Triumph
Watching South Delhi Superstarz: Former India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan congratulated the South Delhi Superstarz after the franchise clinched the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 title at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, describing the triumph as a moment that reinforced his belief in the impact and power of sport. Dhawan, Chairman of Da One Group and Founder of the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation, co-owns the South Delhi Superstarz through Da One Sports. The former India opener was present at the Arun Jaitley Stadium for the final and joined the players in celebrating their title-winning performance. Sharing his thoughts in an Instagram post after the victory, Dhawan wrote, Watching South Delhi Superstarz become Delhi Premier League champions, right there at the final, was a moment Ill carry with me. South Delhi Superstarz sealed the title with a commanding seven-wicket victory over Central Delhi Kings in the final, successfully chasing 183 with 10 balls to spare. Ankit Dabas and Anmol Sharma played key roles in the successful chase, scoring 62 runs each. The victory marked another significant achievement for the franchise, which has now seen both its men's and women's teams enjoy title success across successive editions of the tournament. The women's team won the DPL in 2025, while the men's side followed with the 2026 crown. The franchise's women's team is also set to feature in the final of the ongoing season on Wednesday. For Dhawan, however, the significance of the title extends beyond silverware. He highlighted the opportunities that competitions such as the DPL provide to young cricketers seeking to showcase their abilities and develop their careers.

Devgn CineX is set to expand its presence in South India with the addition of 18 screens across Bengaluru and Hyderabad by the end of 2026. The cinema exhibition brand will open an 11-screen megaplex in Bengaluru and a seven-screen property in Hyderabad as part of its next phase of expansion.

Orry has given fans a glimpse into his 45-day stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi by sharing pictures of the room he stayed in during the shoot. Taking to Instagram, Orry reflected on the space that became an unexpected part of his daily life, documenting the routines, long days, exhaustion and moments that unfolded behind the scenes. Describing just how much the room became a part of his life, Orry revealed that it was his bedroom, dressing room, dining room, office, gym, coffee shop and even his breakdown room. What started as a temporary space eventually became a familiar environment where he spent almost every moment of his 45-day journey. In his note, Orry wrote, To me home is not a place you get to choose, to me home is the place you lay your head down rest. He went on to reflect on the things he now misses, including the mess, the silence, the familiar corridor and the people around him. He also shared, I even miss the person I was inside, but mostly I miss the purpose I had when I lived here. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Orhan Awatramani (@orry) Interestingly, Orry revealed that while he was living there, he spent much of his time counting down the days until he could leave. However, after the 45-day experience came to an end, he found himself missing the very routine he once wanted to escape. His room may have been temporary, but the memories and version of himself he discovered during his Khatron Ke Khiladi journey appear to have stayed with him.

Duleep Trophy: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Dazzles, Mukesh Strikes Twice As East Zone Keep Central To 45/3
The Madhya Pradesh: East Zone vice-captain Vaibhav Sooryavanshi dazzled with a stroke-filled 92, helping his side reach parity with defending champions Central Zone before Mukesh Kumar struck twice to end Day 2 on a high for East on Monday. With eyes glued on Sooryavanshi in his red-ball Test, the 15-year-old starred with a record-breaking 92 off 81 balls, turning heads with seven sixes and as many fours at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1. During his stroke-filled knock, the Bihar batter became the youngest-ever player to score a half-century in the Duleep Trophy. At 15 years and 157 days, Sooryavanshi broke the 57-year-old record of Laxman Singh, who was 16 years and 23 days old when he smashed a fifty in the red-ball tournament in 1969. He could well have become the youngest centurion in the Duleep Trophy had he not holed out to deep midwicket off Harsh Dubey. While Sooryavanshi put the bowlers to the sword, his senior opening partner Abhimanyu Easwaran was content to hold the end up, scoring 69 off 106 balls as the two put on 161 for the opening wicket. Meanwhile, Sooryavanshi's dismissal triggered a collapse of the Ishan Kishan-led East side as Dubey and seamers Aryan Pandey and Yash Thakur ripped through the line-up. Dubey removed two in two, dismissing Kumar Kushagra on the next ball before Aryan took the baton. The Madhya Pradesh seamer bowled brilliantly after lunch, taking three wickets in 15 minutes. This included the scalps of Easwaran, Virat Singh and Sudip Gharami. Yash also impressed with three wickets of his own, as East managed to score 266 in the first innings, the same total Central made on Day 1. Meanwhile, Sooryavanshi's dismissal triggered a collapse of the Ishan Kishan-led East side as Dubey and seamers Aryan Pandey and Yash Thakur ripped through the line-up.

At Least 5 Killed, Several Injured After Massive Blast At Firecracker Factory In UP

Actress Avika Gor has opened up about her experience on Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 15 days after her elimination from the stunt-based reality show. Reflecting on the experience, Avika said the show has changed the way she looks at life, fear, challenges and situations beyond her control. Taking to Instagram, the Balika Vadhu actor spoke about the difference between watching a stunt from the comfort of home and actually being in the middle of a high-pressure challenge. She admitted that she sometimes finds herself wondering whether she could have performed better had she been in the same situation. Theres something Ive realised about myself while watching Khatron Ke Khiladi after my elimination. I catch myself thinking, If I were there, I wouldnt have given up. I would have pushed harder. I would have done better. Basically, sitting comfortably on my sofa, suddenly Im an expert Khatron contestant. And then I remind myself: Im watching from the comfort of my own life. I know the outcome. I know what happens next. Im not actually in that moment, with the pressure, the fear, the adrenaline, and a stunt staring me in the face. Its very easy to become the hero of a situation from the outside, she wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Avika Gor (@avikagor) Avika also acknowledged how difficult it has been to move on from her early elimination. When something matters deeply to us, we replay it, imagine different choices, and create a version of the story that never happened. And sometimes, our imagination gives us a much better performance than reality ever got the chance to. Maybe thats why being eliminated so early has been difficult for me to completely let go of. Somewhere inside me, theres still that girl who believes, I had so much more to give. This marked Avikas second appearance on Khatron Ke Khiladi. She had previously participated in the ninth season at the age of 21. Comparing both experiences, she said the show had a different lesson for her this time. I went in thinking I was there to face fears and perform stunts, but I came out understanding myself a little differently. Coming back this time meant so much because, perhaps, a part of me wanted to meet that younger version of myself again and maybe finish something that had always felt unfinished. But this time, Khatron is teaching me something very different. Avika further reflected on accepting outcomes that cannot be changed. The first time, Khatron changed my perspective on who I was and what I wanted to become. This time, it is teaching me how to live with what I cannot control. During her elimination stunt, Avika competed against Orry. She completed the challenge in more than 13 minutes, while Orry finished in just under 10 minutes, resulting in her exit from the show. Hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty, Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 15 features celebrities including Rubina Dilaik, Rithvik Dhanjani, Farhan Bhatt and Karan Wahi, among others.

Television fiction is a daily companion, bringing into homes aspirational characters whose dreams, dilemmas and journeys often feel deeply personal. It is this unique relationship between audiences and storytelling that brings ZEE and Google together to introduce fiction-led AI Search integration, bringing Google Searchs AI Mode into the storytelling worlds of Zee TV's popular fiction show Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan among others. Launching on Independence Day, the collaboration moves beyond conventional product placement, weaving Google Searchs AI Mode organically into the journeys of key characters and making it a natural part of the storytelling experience. Across relatable moments and everyday dilemmas, audiences will experience how Google Search AI Mode can process complex queries and help people easily discover the information they need to make confident decisions. The collaboration leverages ZEE's Dilfluencer Moments, a bespoke solution that weaves brand ethos into real and authentic storytelling that travels across screens and formats, leading to community engagement. Built on the belief that audiences connect most deeply with stories, characters and moments they trust, Dilfluencer Moments lets brands become a meaningful part of the narrative itself, originating within Zee TV's trusted fiction ecosystem and extending across multiple touchpoints. In this collaboration, Google Searchs AI Mode becomes a natural part of those moments, assisting characters as they navigate challenges, explore possibilities and make informed choices in ways that feel authentic to the story. As part of the collaboration, ZEE and Google have also launched a brand film featuring Amandeep Sidhu who plays the role of Sneha from Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan. Set in a candid behind-the-scenes moment, the film begins with an ordinary conversation between Amandeep and her makeup artist, Aarti played by Rajsi Bhave. When Aarti reveals that she is leaving to pursue her long-held dream of opening her own beauty salon, Amandeep is both surprised and curious. As the conversation unfolds, Aarti shares how she navigated the many questions, uncertainties and decisions involved in starting a business, with a helpful guide by her side: Google Searchs AI Mode. Through a warm, relatable and aspirational exchange, the film demonstrates how AI Mode can understand context, simplify complex situations and help individuals with the information they need. Built around the campaign thought, Google Search ka Naya AI Mode, Samjhe, Samjhaye aur Raah Dikhaye, the initiative showcases how Google Searchs AI Mode adds a more conversational layer to the trusted Search experience. While the brand film introduces audiences to the proposition, the storytelling continues across upcoming episodes of Tumm Se Tumm Takk and Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, where viewers will see AI Mode play a meaningful role at key moments in the characters' journeys, helping them with their everyday questions and situations, explore possibilities and make informed decisions with greater clarity and confidence. Through the upcoming story arcs, audiences will witness how Google Search's new AI Mode provides intuitive, contextual assistance, becoming a reliable tool in the characters' journeys as they navigate aspirations, dilemmas and everyday decisions. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zee TV (@zeetv) The film culminates with Amandeep breaking the fourth wall and inviting viewers to experience Google Searchs AI Mode for themselves. The film also serves as a gateway to the larger story fiction integration, where audiences will continue to see Google Search AI Mode woven not only into upcoming storylines but also the further narrative across Zee TV's fiction shows. Reflecting on the collaboration, Kanika Kalra, Director, Platforms & Ecosystems, Consumer Marketing, India, said: With the introduction of AI Mode, we are redefining what Search can do for the Indian consumer. This is a fundamental shift toward advanced thinking, reasoning, and personalisation built directly into Search. With Zee as our partner, this is our attempt to bring Google Search's AI intelligence to the world of Drama. Speaking about the partnership, Sandeep Mehrotra, Chief Operating Officer, Advertisement Revenue, ZEEL, said: Advertisers today are looking for more than visibility; they are looking for meaningful ways to connect with consumers in environments they trust. This collaboration with Google Search AI Mode demonstrates how entertainment can create that connection by integrating brands naturally into stories that audiences are already emotionally invested in. Through Dilfluencer Moments, we have been building new storytelling-led solutions for marketers, and this partnership showcases how even a technology product can be woven seamlessly into a narrative to drive both relevance and engagement at scale. Speaking about the announcement film, Kartik Mahadev, Zee Entertainment Enterprises, said: The most powerful integrations are those that become part of the story world, moving naturally with its characters. That was our ambition with Google Search in AI Mode, and this first film sets the tone for whats to come. Launching around Independence Day with our Dilfluencer, Sneha from Zee TV, the story gives the idea of independence a contemporary, everyday meaning, one that can remain relevant well beyond the occasion. At ZEE, our characters and storytelling have the ability to build empathy at scale. Dilfluencer Moments harnesses that influence to go a step further in helping audiences discover new possibilities, build confidence in new behaviours, and turn cultural moments into meaningful adoption.

Concerns over fake and synthetic paneer have reportedly made their way into celebrity kitchens, with Twinkle Khanna revealing that she and her mother, actor Dimple Kapadia, have started making the popular dairy product at home. Twinkle opened up about the change in her latest Mrs Funnybones column, published on August 30, while adding her trademark humour to the ongoing food-safety conversation. According to Twinkle, reports surrounding allegedly fake paneer prompted the mother-daughter duo to reconsider their dependence on store-bought paneer. However, making it at home has also revived an old competition between the two over how much paneer they can produce from the same quantity of milk. Since this fake paneer scam hit the headlines, my mother and I have started making paneer at home. Our old argument continues. In her house, one litre of milk yields 250 grams of paneer. I get 180 grams from the same amount of milk. Now, its also about whose paneer is tastier. Next, I suspect she will start asking whose paneer is whiter, and I may start putting detergent in mine, she wrote. Twinkle then linked her joke to another food-safety incident from Bihars Nalanda district, where students reportedly fell ill after detergent was allegedly used instead of salt. The reference allowed her to continue exploring the sometimes unsettling ways in which concerns about food adulteration intersect with everyday life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Twinkle Khanna (@twinklerkhanna) Her column also touched upon the food-safety inspections being carried out across India. Taking inspiration from the strict approach associated with Maharashtra FDA commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, Twinkle imagined conducting her own tongue-in-cheek inspection at home. During her fictional Mundhe-inspired raid, she joked about finding an expired packet of Shahi Masala that had seemingly been lying around in her kitchen for an unusually long period. Twinkle wrote, Those who want to erase the Mughals from our history books should first start with lunch. Give up your koftas, kormas, kebabs... You cant have your Mughlai paneer, real or analogue, and eat it too. Through humour and personal anecdotes, Twinkle highlighted how wider food-safety concerns can quickly become part of ordinary household conversations. Her column blends the national debate over food adulteration with the familiar realities of cooking, family disagreements and kitchen habits.

Shweta Tripathi and Chaitnya Sharma head to Vienna for Chet Faker concert during European getaway
Shweta Tripathi recently took a break from her professional commitments and travelled across Europe with her husband, rapper Chaitnya Sharma, and a group of close friends. The getaway included a stop in Vienna, where the couple attended Australian singer-songwriter Chet Fakers live concert at Arena Wien as part of his A Love for Strangers tour. The Vienna concert became one of the highlights of the trip for Shweta, with the journey being planned around Chaitnyas fondness for Chet Fakers music. The actor revealed that the group had been looking for an opportunity to travel together after being unable to do so for some time due to their respective schedules. This trip was actually planned because Cheeta is a huge fan of Chet Faker. I started listening to his music because of him and our friends. The moment we found out Chet Faker was performing in Vienna, one of our friends booked six tickets, and we immediately began planning the trip. We hadn't travelled together in a long time because of our busy schedules, so it became the perfect excuse for all of us to get away, Shweta said. For Shweta, music has remained an important part of her life, and she credited Chaitnya with introducing her to several artists and sounds. She also spoke about the role music plays alongside books and other creative influences. She went on to add, Music has always been one of my greatest sources of joy. Books transport me into different worlds, and music does the same in an entirely different way. It sparks emotions that are difficult to put into words and allows you to be completely present in the moment. Cheeta has played a huge role in shaping my relationship with music. Because he's a musician himself, he's constantly introducing me to artists, albums and sounds that I may never have discovered on my own. I love how passionate he is about music, and that passion naturally rubs off on me. The couples European holiday extended beyond Vienna. They travelled to Lake Fuschl in Austria before heading to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Berlin. The itinerary also included experiences centred around cinema and art. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shweta Tripathi (@battatawada) Berlin, in particular, holds a special place for Shweta, who had previously visited the city for the Berlinale. During this visit, she also spent time with a close friend and attended an open-air Queer Film Festival screening featuring six short films. Berlin is one of my favourite cities. I had been there earlier for Berlinale, and every time I return, it feels just as exciting. Berlin always makes me want to create. Every street, every gallery and every conversation feels like it invites curiosity. One of my closest friends also lives there, so it was wonderful to spend time together. We also watched six short films at an open-air Queer Film Festival screening, and experiences like these stay with you long after the trip is over, she shared. The Masaan actor also reflected on how travelling and experiencing different cultures influence her as an artist. According to Shweta, such journeys offer opportunities to learn and return with fresh creative inspiration. Travelling reminds you how much there is still to see, learn and feel. As an artist, that's incredibly enriching. My father always told me to spend money on experiences because they shape the person you become, and every time I travel I understand that a little more. Concerts end, holidays end, but the memories, friendships and inspiration stay with you. I always return from trips like these wanting to create something new. That's the biggest gift travel gives me, she concluded. The European getaway thus brought together Shweta Tripathi and Chaitnya Sharmas shared interest in music, travel and the arts, while also giving the couple an opportunity to spend time with their friends away from their professional schedules.

Ishaan and Janhvis reunion naturally brings an added dose of nostalgia to the campaign. Their latest BTS interaction seems to playfully revisit the chemistry and equation that audiences first saw in Dhadak, while giving the moment a distinctly candid and contemporary spin. It is this easy camaraderie between the two actors that makes the BTS clip stand out from the campaigns more polished couture imagery. View this post on Instagram A post shared by KALKI Fashion (@kalkifashion) For KALKI, the campaign is another extension of its approach to blending Indian craftsmanship with contemporary fashion. Founded in Mumbai in 2007, the brand has established itself in the bridal and occasion-wear space with collections spanning lehengas, gowns, kurtis, bridal couture, wedding-guest wear, accessories and menswear.

DABIDA GeniTeacher Reads Handwritten Work to Spot Stuck Points
The fastest way to use AI for homework is also the least useful : paste in the question, get the answer and hope some of it sticks. DABIDA is building an AI tutor around a different premise. Its GeniTeacher platform wants students to keep working on paper while the software watches the path they took to get there. The philosophy is that a final answer is a thin signal . A math problem can be wrong because a student misunderstood a concept, made an arithmetic slip, chose an inefficient method or gave up halfway through. Those are very different problems, and a generic chatbot often sees none of them. I met DABIDA CEO Eun-Seung Lee in person as he demonstrated GeniTeacher. The core pitch: AI should help students reason through a problem instead of becoming a faster answer machine (I totally agree). The practical twist is that DABIDA tries to capture not only the written answer, but also the sequence of marks, corrections and intermediate work that led to it. Students can write with DABIDAs GeniPen (a CES 2024 Innovation Awards Honoree) on compatible paper, use a stylus on a tablet or upload a photo. The company says GeniTeacher combines its handwriting-recognition technology with image analysis, allowing it to account for diagrams and text. Lee told me the platform also uses a mix of outside AI models, chosen according to task and cost, rather than betting the company on one large language model, which makes total sense. The goal is to issue a sequence of Socratic hints: a light prompt first, then a more specific one if the student remains stuck. DABIDA also says it can generate reports covering accuracy, weak concepts, recurring errors and hint use, along with automated error notes that preserve the original problem, the students working and an explanation of the likely mistake. This is a more useful process than simply grading an answer. A 2024 EEG study of 36 university students found broader brain connectivity during handwriting than typing. The researchers argued that the pattern may be beneficial for learning, but the study did not directly measure whether handwriting improved classroom performance. The logic seem sound, but this is under intense research. DABIDA did not begin with GeniTeacher. Its earlier GeniClass and GeniPen products focused on remote learning, letting a teacher see a students handwriting during a live class. That pair became a CES 2024 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Smart Communities category. Lee said GeniTeacher grew from that existing handwriting-capture technology after the company began adding AI capabilities in 2024. More recently, WIPO named DABIDA one of 11 2026 Global Awards winners and described it as a handwriting-based AI tutoring system. WIPO says DABIDA has 23 patents, exclusive distribution agreements in seven countries and a Samsung Electronics partnership signed in 2026. Lee described several possible revenue streams: subscriptions, smart-pen sales, publisher relationships and licensing.
