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. Dubey removed two in two, dismissing Kumar Kushagra on the next ball before Aryan took the baton.

Bengaluru or Delhi-NCR for savings? Techie breaks down what a Rs 1 lakh salary really means
A techies Instagram comparison has sparked discussion about whether Bengalurus higher salaries necessarily translate into greater savings. Sumit argued that professionals relocating from Delhi, Noida or elsewhere should account for rent, food, commuting and trips home before comparing packages. He estimated that these expenses could consume around Rs 10 lakh a year, potentially narrowing the benefit of a higher salary.

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.

Nidhi Dutta and Binoy Gandhi celebrate daughter Sitaras first birthday in London and Disneyland
Filmmaker Nidhi Dutta and Binoy Gandhi recently celebrated their daughter Sitaras first birthday with a family getaway that took them from London to Disneyland. The couple marked the milestone with an intimate celebration at their home in London before continuing the birthday festivities with a visit to Disneyland. The first birthday was celebrated in the presence of close family members, with the couple choosing to keep the occasion centred around family and creating memories with their daughter. Following the gathering in London, Nidhi, Binoy and Sitara travelled to Disneyland for a special birthday experience. A particularly meaningful part of the trip was Sitaras stay in Disneylands iconic Cinderella Suite. The location has a personal connection to Nidhi, who had previously stayed in the same suite during her babymoon while she was pregnant with Sitara. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nidhi Dutta (@nidhiduttaofficial) Returning to the suite a year later, this time with her daughter, added a sense of continuity to the celebrations. What began as a stay during Nidhis pregnancy became a family memory as she and Binoy marked Sitaras first year in the same setting. The Disneyland visit also gave the family an opportunity to celebrate the occasion away from their regular routine, with the birthday getaway combining the milestone with the couples family time. For Nidhi and Binoy, Sitaras first birthday marked an important moment in their journey as parents. From a private celebration at their London home to the Disneyland experience, the couple chose to commemorate the occasion through a series of family-focused celebrations. The birthday festivities brought together the personal significance of Sitara turning one and Nidhis earlier memories of her pregnancy, with the return to the Cinderella Suite making the Disneyland visit particularly special for the family. The celebrations also offered the couple an opportunity to document their daughters first birthday through experiences and time spent together.

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 Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor are bringing back some serious Dhadak nostalgia! The actors, who made their Bollywood debut together with the 2018 romantic drama, recently recreated a rather familiar moment from the film, but with their own playful twist.

From reception glamour and cocktail nights to the celebrations that continue after the vows, the campaign explores the many occasions that make up the modern wedding experience. 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. He cited a potential $20 monthly base subscription in our conversation, though pricing and availability can vary by market. Theres also a potential future marketplace where teachers could sell their own high-quality questions, with DABIDA taking a commission. DABIDAs thesis will be proven when schools and families can see that students learn more, teachers save time without surrendering judgment, and the company refines the curriculum by analyzing common learning stumbling points. Many people currently say that AI makes children less smart. DABIDA is on a quest to leverage AI to take teaching to the next level.

The journey of Orry aka Orhan Awatramani on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 may have hit an unexpected roadblock. The internet media personality, who has been participating in the stunt-based reality show and taking on a series of challenges, has seemingly hinted at an emotional exit following an injury sustained during a task. Orry recently shared a video on his Instagram Stories in which he appeared to be helped by others after getting injured during a challenge. Alongside the video, he posted an emotional message reflecting on his stint on the show and his attempt to complete the task. Sharing the update, Orry wrote, I gave it my all guys and I am sorry I dont have more in me to give. Really wanted to do this for us all and for me. I never wanted to give up and I never aborted. I really did try but sometimes you have to accept defeat. His message suggested that he had pushed himself during the challenge but was unable to continue. Orry also appeared to indicate that his health would take precedence over his participation in the show. He added, Health always comes before everything. Wishing everyone the best. The post has since led to speculation about whether the injury could mark the end of Orrys stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. While his choice of words, particularly his reference to accepting defeat and not having more to give, has left fans wondering if he has been forced to step away, Orry has not explicitly confirmed his exit from the show. Orrys participation in Khatron Ke Khiladi has also been closely followed by viewers, with the internet personality taking on physical challenges as part of his stint on the reality show. His latest update has therefore added an emotional turn to his journey. The stunt-based format requires contestants to take on physically demanding tasks involving heights, speed, animals and other challenges under the supervision of host Rohit Shetty. Injuries are an inherent risk of such tasks, and contestants can sometimes be required to withdraw depending on their condition. For now, Orrys Instagram post remains the only indication that his journey may have been affected by the injury. Whether the message signals a temporary setback or his departure from Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 is yet to be officially clarified. Until there is a confirmation from Orry or the makers of the show, his status in the competition remains unclear.

Guru Randhawa marked his birthday with a humanitarian gesture, announcing a personal contribution of Rs.5 lakhs towards the ongoing Nepal flood relief efforts. The singer and actor has chosen to use the occasion to draw attention to the situation faced by flood-affected families, with his contribution being directed towards rescue operations, medical supplies and emergency food distribution. According to the information shared, Randhawa is supporting the relief work through the Hemkunt Foundation, which will use the contribution towards on-ground assistance for those affected by the floods. The initiative comes as the singer marks another year, with the birthday gesture placing the focus on humanitarian aid rather than celebrations. The Nepal contribution follows Randhawas recent support for flood-affected communities in Assam. Earlier this month, he committed Rs.12 lakhs towards rehabilitation efforts in the state. His contribution involved a partnership with the Hello Life Foundation to provide essential supplies, while he also collaborated with the Sikh Aid Foundation on the construction of 35 permanent flood-resistant houses and 100 bicycles for displaced families. Randhawas latest initiative adds to his recent involvement in relief efforts across different regions. By extending his support to Nepal, he has also become the first Punjabi artist, according to the information shared, to contribute financially towards the ongoing Nepal flood relief operations.

Katrina Kaif expands Kay Beauty into skincare with Hydra Glaze Essence and Hydra Base Water Crme
Katrina Kaif is expanding her beauty business with the launch of Kay Beautys first-ever skincare range. Co-founded by Katrina Kaif and Nykaa, the brand has introduced two skincare essentials Hydra Glaze Essence and Hydra Base Water Crme as it moves beyond makeup and into everyday skincare. The launch marks a new chapter for Kay Beauty, which was founded in 2019 around the philosophy of Makeup That Kares. The brands latest offering extends that approach to skincare, with a focus on hydration, skin-barrier support and formulas designed with sensitive skin in mind. Katrinas own experiences with sensitive skin have played a role in shaping the new range. Years of working in front of the camera, spending long hours on film sets and frequent travel have influenced her approach to skincare. According to the brand, supporting the skin barrier, replenishing moisture and calming redness and irritation became key considerations in developing the products. Commenting on the launch, Katrina Kaif, Co-Founder, Kay Beauty says, My relationship with skincare has evolved through so many different phases of my life. Having sensitive skin, combined with years of working in front of the camera, long days on film sets and constant travel, has made me very aware of what my skin needs and how differently it can respond from one day to the next. Those experiences shaped so much of the thinking behind Kay Beauty skincare. Working closely with our formulation experts, we wanted to create an effective range that really focuses on the fundamentals Ive come to value most: strengthening and supporting the skin barrier, deep cellular hydration and keeping the skin feeling soothed, calm and protected. It was equally important that the formulas felt lightweight and effortless to use, and created a beautiful, well-prepped base for makeup to sit smoothly. The range brings together Kare and performance in a way that feels like a natural extension to the Kay Beauty universe. The Hydra Glaze Essence is designed to provide deep hydration, deliver an instant glow and help refine skin texture. The Hydra Base Water Crme, meanwhile, is a lightweight moisturiser intended to hydrate the skin while helping strengthen and calm the skin barrier. The products were developed over three years with leading formulators in Korea and Italy. The formulations have been clinically tested on Indian women with sensitive skin and were developed to combine efficacy with a gentle application. Biochemist and cosmetic futurist Nausheen Qureshi also worked closely with the teams during the development process. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kay Beauty By Katrina (@kaybykatrina) According to Kay Beauty, all formulas are fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin, with the range supported by multiple clinically evaluated efficacy claims. Adwaita Nayar, Co-founder and Executive Director of Nykaa, and CEO - House of Nykaa, adds, Since its inception, Kay Beauty has been built around the belief that performance and care should go hand in hand. As consumers increasingly embrace a skin-first approach to beauty, skincare felt like a natural evolution for the brand. With this launch, we wanted to bring the same performance-led approach to formulations that are thoughtful, effective and uncomplicated, while staying true to our #MakeupThatKares philosophy. This range is an important step in expanding Kay Beauty into a more holistic beauty brand, rooted in how consumers are evolving their everyday routines. With the launch, Katrina Kaif and Kay Beauty are positioning skincare as a natural extension of the brands existing makeup philosophy, while bringing the actors personal relationship with sensitive skin into the product development narrative.

How to Read Your Kundli: A Step-by-Step Guide
A kundali, or birth chart, is based on the positions of the planets and zodiac signs at the exact time of your birth. Astrologers interpret these planetary positions, along with the 12 houses, to make predictions and understand different areas of your life, such as personality, relationships, etc. But thanks to budding technology, today you can easily generate a free online kundali and gain astrological insights into different areas of your life. But the key is to know how to read Kundli. Don't worry, we have you covered. Ahead, we bring you a step-by-step guide. How To Read Kundli? Without further ado, lets unpack how to read kundli in a few simple steps. Find Your Ascendant (Lagna) Your Lagna, or Ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact time and place of your birth. It is the first house of your Kundli and is an important starting point when reading a birth chart. The Lagna is linked to your personality, appearance, behaviour, and how you approach life. Identify the 12 Houses The next step is to identify the 12 houses. This is crucial because each house represents a different area of your life, such as wealth, family, career, relationships, etc. Now that you have your Lagna, you know it is the first house. So, you must count clockwise for the remaining houses. This means that after the first house, you have the second, then the third, and so on. Make A Note of the Zodiac Sign in Each House By now, you have identified your Lagna and the 12 houses. So next, look at the zodiac signs in each house. This will give you information on that particular area of your life. For this, again, start with your Lagna and then move clockwise. The zodiac signs follow the same order. So, if Lagna is Aries, then the second house will be Taurus, and so on. Locate the Planets in Your Kundli Now, you must look at where the nine planets (Navagrahas) are placed in your Kundli. These include the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. Each planet will be shown in a particular house and zodiac sign. Note down the house and sign for each planet, as both are important when reading your online kundali. Check the Strength and Condition of the Planets Next, check whether the planets in your Kundli are considered strong or weak. This can depend on the zodiac sign and house they are placed in, as well as their relationship with other planets. A strong planet will have a stronger influence, while a weak planet may have a more limited or challenging influence. Look at Planetary Aspects (Drishti) Drishti means one planet can influence another house or planet even if it isn't placed there. In your Kundli, check which houses and planets are receiving these aspects. These influences are then considered when interpreting the overall effect of a planet in your birth chart. For example, if Jupiter is in your 1st house, its Drishti traditionally falls on your 5th, 7th, and 9th houses. Check for Important Yogas and Doshas Don't forget to check yogas or doshas. Yogas are specific combinations of planets that are believed to bring certain favourable effects, while Doshas are combinations generally associated with challenges. Their meaning depends on the planets and houses involved. Look at Your Dashas Dashas are periods in your life when different planets are believed to have a stronger influence. Check which planets Dasha you are currently in and look at where that planet is placed in your Kundli. Astrologers use this information to understand what may happen during that particular period. If you are looking for an expert intervention, you can always speak to astrologers on Astrotalk. To date, the platform has served more than 122+ million users, and they always provide accurate analysis. Put the Placements Together to Interpret Your Kundli Finally, bring everything you have looked at together. Consider your Lagna, houses, zodiac signs, planetary placements, aspects, Yogas, Doshas, and current Dasha. Instead of looking at one placement on its own, see how they work together. This gives you a clearer picture of what your Kundli says about different areas of your life. Final Note Reading a kundali may seem complicated in the beginning. However, once you understand its basic elements, such as the ascendant, houses, zodiac signs, and more, it becomes easier to interpret. But remember, it takes practice because the correct interpretation is what will fetch you the answers you need. Therefore, it is best to consult an expert who can steer you in the right direction. At Astrotalk, you can explore a network of 51,000+ verified astrologers who come with vast experience. They provide genuine and reliable information after comprehensively studying your kundali . With support in 13+ languages, you can comfortably speak to them about your predicament and get instant remedies. Infact, the first chat is absolutely free. Try it today!
