Caste census: Congress gives Chalo Delhi call on Nov 1 for separate OBC column
Digital Desk | Nagpur, Sep 19 (IANS) Intensifying the demand for a separate column for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the upcoming nationwide caste-based census, Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar on Saturday announced a large-scale agitational campaign culminating in a Chalo Delhi march on November 1. The strategy was finalised during a key Vidarbha-level meeting of OBC leaders, office-bearers, and prominent activists held in Nagpur to address long-standing grievances facing the community. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Wadettiwar, a Congress Legislature Party leader in the Maharashtra Assembly, said a separate column for OBCs in the caste census is indispensable. He said, Our demand is explicit: there must be a caste-wise census with a dedicated column for OBCs. The governments current decisions regarding the census process have sparked widespread discontent within the OBC community. If the true population of OBCs is not accurately documented, issues surrounding their political representation and reservation benefits will become increasingly severe. Following a preliminary meeting of nearly 65 OBC organisations from across the country held in Delhi on September 13, a phased nationwide agitation roadmap has been unveiled. Wadettiwar said that on October 2 (Gandhi Jayanti and Lal Bahadur Shastri Jayanti), taluka-level Satyagraha (peaceful protests) will be organised; on October 25, district-level protest marches across the state; and on November 1, the Chalo Delhi rally to push the central government to action. The exact framework of the Delhi demonstration will be finalised in consultation with allied organisations across the country. Beyond the census, Wadettiwar raised concerns regarding student welfare and state support for marginalised communities. He accused the Maharashtra state government of stalling tactics in allocating funds to autonomous institutes like Mahajyoti and BARTI. He urged the administration to release funding proportional to the population and ensure timely disbursement of pre-matric and post-matric scholarships. Addressing the sensitive ongoing debate over Maratha reservation in Maharashtra, Wadettiwar reaffirmed that the OBC community opposes any dilution of its existing quota. The government should not slice away rights from one community to satisfy another. If the government wants to grant reservation to any group, it should do so independently. Do not allocate any portion of the OBC quota to others. If our constitutional rights are encroached upon, we will not sit quietly, he cautioned.

When they are called in to eventually meet the producer, he is busy signing documents. Without looking up, he keeps asking questions about the marks Siddhu's scored in school. Siddhu, whose marks are not too healthy, begins to wonder why the producer is asking him for his marks while they are here to ask him for a chance to make a film. Eventually, Siddhu's dad interrupts the conversation and tells the Chancellor, Sir, forget the marks. My son will definitely make a great movie. Please give him a chance. That is when the Chancellor realises Siddhu's come to ask for a chance.

They give a series of hilarious responses to the producer, driving him to the point of reconsidering his decision to give the debutant an opportunity. Eventually, Siddhu goes to meet the producer in person and pleads with him not to take away his opportunity for the goof ups of his friends. The producer, who says the story is good, asks for a title that should be ayangaram (fear inducing). The announcement video ends with Siddhu's response who reveals the title of the film as 'Dayangaram'.

Asiad 2026: Quimcy Dsouza denied final spot, to play for Teqball bronze
India's Quimcy Dsouza could not put it past Indonesian Sumaya despite giving her all in a gruelling three-game Teqball women's singles semifinal but remained in contention for a bronze medal at the Asian Games here on Saturday. Dsouza let slip the early advantage to go down 12-7, 9-12, 7-12 in the match. The Mumbai player, who had previously competed in state-level football and 1,500m running, was introduced to Teqball after watching Brazilian football great Ronaldinho showcase his skills on Instagram. She took to the sport and has since carved out a place for herself on the Asian stage. The Bangalore-based techie looked firmly in control after taking the opening game 12-7, using the curved table to good effect and unleashing a series of sharp diagonal smashes with her feet. Teqball, with its curved table and football-inspired skills, bears some resemblance to sepak takraw. Both sports prohibit the use of hands and arms, requiring players to control and strike the ball with their

Rahul Gandhi to visit Indore today for 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event
Digital Desk | Indore, Sep 19 (IANS) Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, will visit Indore on Saturday to interact with students as part of his 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' initiative, which seeks to raise issues concerning education, recruitment and unemployment. Confirming his visit, earlier this week, Rahul Gandhi posted on social media platform X: I'm coming to Indore on September 19 -- to meet students, to hear you, to talk to you. If you or your loved ones are tormented by the education system and want these conditions to change, you know -- 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' is your collective voice, an opportunity to start the change. He urged students to register through the link shared in his social media post and participate in the event. We will discuss in detail every aspect of education and your struggles in Indore, Rahul Gandhi said in the post. The 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' campaign has been used by Rahul Gandhi to engage with students and highlight issues such as question paper leaks, expensive education, alleged irregularities in government recruitment and unemployment. Four editions of the programme have so far been held in Kota, Dehradun, Prayagraj and Pune. The Pune edition, held on August 22, was organised for female students. The Indore programme has also drawn attention after the Congress was denied permission to use the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as the venue.

As Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to arrive in Indore, politics in the state has intensified. Earlier, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has criticised Rahul Gandhi ahead of his Indore visit and described the proposed programme as Jhooth Ki Goonj.
Government wont allow lifetime teacher postings in urban areas: Nasir Aslam
Srinagar, Sep 18: Advisor to Chief Minister Nasir Aslam Wani on Thursday said that rural schools were facing an acute dearth of teachers despite having encouraging enrolment, while the government was focused on strengthening the availability of teaching staff in these educational institutions. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of Green Valley Model United Nations (GVMUN)-2026, Nasir Aslam Wani said the government was looking to strengthen teacher availability, particularly in schools where there was a shortage of teachers. There are very few teachers in the rural schools. We want to increase the strength of teachers so that children can get proper education, he said. He said the government would not allow teachers to remain posted permanently in either urban or rural areas, saying that postings would be made through a rotation system. Everyone will have to go to rural areas and in the city as well. It is not that everyone who is posted in city school will remain posted there for a lifetime and those who are posted in the village schools will continue there permanently. By rotation, they will go to all places, Wani said. About filling vacant positions of teachers in the School Education Department, he said the posts would be filled through Samagra Shiksha and the recruitment process. We are working on it. The posts will be filled, he added. Earlier, in his address as chief guest at GVMUN, Wani talked about the changing relationship between teachers and students and recalled a time when teachers commanded greater authority and respect. He said there was a huge difference between the education system of his time and that of today, when students were more willing to question teachers, parents and others in society. In todays world, there is very little room for questioning. Teachers word was the last word when we were students. But today, students are different. They question everything and everybody, he said. He said educators and society must be prepared to provide answers to their questions. During our times, if teachers would beat us, we would never dare to complain about it at our homes, knowing that our parents would trust our teachers more than us (children). But these days the situation is altogether different, he added. Referring to the confidence displayed by students participating in the GVMUN event, Wani said the present generation had greater exposure and confidence compared to students of his time. He said education should not remain confined to books and academics, stressing the need to provide students opportunities in sports, extracurricular activities and skill development. We should not only educate them, but also make them unemployed. We should have children who are skilled for the job market, so that when they graduate from school, they can easily get employment, he said. Wani called for encouraging students to acquire skills early in their education so that they are equipped for employment after graduation. He also called for greater awareness among students about social challenges, particularly drug abuse, and said children needed to be mentally prepared to deal with the pressures of contemporary life. We should prepare them for the problems of today. We should prepare their minds for the materialistic world we live in, he said. Wani said the government would work towards increasing investment in children and creating more opportunities for them. On concerns raised by the school sector regarding regulations, Wani said steps were Being Taken To Ease The Process Of Doing Business For Schools. School registration would now be valid for five years and several No Objection Certificates would be covered through self-certification, he said.

Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh visit temple ahead of second baby
The couple visited Mumbai's Siddhivinayak Temple on Friday, dressed in matching purple, as they prepare to welcome their second child. It's the same temple, the same kind of visit, they made in September 2024, weeks before their daughter Dua was born right down to Ranveer's parents, Jagjit Singh Bhavnani and Anju Bhavnani, joining them both times. What they wore Deepika had worn a green saree on that earlier visit. This time she chose a heavily embroidered salwar kameez, while Ranveer wore a purple kurta with white pyjamas. A crowd had gathered by the time they arrived, and security was tight, but both actors stopped to smile and wave rather than rush past. Filmfare captured the moment and posted it on X, and within hours fans were pulling up side-by-side clips from 2024 and 2026, pointing out how closely the two visits mirrored each other. #Watch | Bollywood couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone visited Mumbais iconic Lalbaugcha Raja, offering prayers and seeking the blessings of Lord Ganesha during the festive celebrations. #RanveerSingh #DeepikaPadukone #LalbaugchaRaja #GanpatiBappa #GaneshChaturthi pic.twitter.com/T7bmju93KF The Daily Jagran (@TheDailyJagran) September 18, 2026 Ranveer's solo visit to Lalbaugcha Raja Ranveer had already made one temple stop this week.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on Friday said that it has initiated three separate adjudication cases against Nestl India over alleged regulatory non-compliance involving its infant nutrition products, including NAN Excella Pro Stage 1 and Lactogen Pro 1. According to a notice shared by the food regulator on Instagram, FSSAI examined the products and promotional material listed on e-commerce platforms and flagged certain claims associated with the infant nutrition products. In the case of NAN Excella Pro Stage 1, the regulator raised concerns over claims related to 5 HMOS and Whey Protein. For Lactogen Pro 1, FSSAI flagged a claim describing whey protein as being easy to digest. The food regulator said it had sought clarifications from Nestl India regarding the claims. Following its examination, FSSAI said the products were found to be in contravention of Regulation 4(2) of the Food Safety and Standards (Foods for Infant Nutrition) Regulations, 2020. The regulation places restrictions on promotional claims and material intended to increase the saleability of infant foods. FSSAI also referred to Section 3 of the Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992, which prohibits the advertisement and promotion of such products. Separately, FSSAI said a sample of a Follow-up Formula manufactured by Nestl India was found to be sub-standard for its biotin content during laboratory analysis. The sample was subsequently sent to a Referral Laboratory for re-analysis. The second analysis also found the product to be non-conforming with the prescribed biotin requirement under the Foods for Infant Nutrition Regulations, 2020. FSSAI said three separate adjudication cases have been filed against Nestl India in connection with the regulatory issues involving the products. The regulator's notice does not indicate that any final penalty has been imposed on Nestl India. The cases concern the alleged promotional violations and the laboratory finding related to the biotin content. Responding to the development, Nestle India spokesperson said that the company products are fully compliant with all the applicable regulations. The said products (i.e., NAN EXCELLA PRO & LACTOGEN PRO) and their labels were approved by the expert committee of FSSAI. In response to the notice, we have again submitted our detailed response to the authorities regarding statements appearing on the label, which are factual in nature, and supported by scientific literature, it added. We confirm to adherence of all regulations including all norms and label declarations as per applicable laws. We will continue to work closely and support FSSAI in its efforts towards consumer awareness, the spokesperson stated.
Maha govt will stand with farmers in drought-hit areas: Dy CM Shinde
Digital Desk | Satara, Sep 18 (IANS) Visiting his native village Dare in Satara district for the Ganeshotsav festival, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday reviewed Maharashtras rainfall situation and reassured farmers facing severe crop damage due to dry spells. He said the government will not abandon the farming community and will provide full support in drought-like regions. His response follows senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawars demand that the state government declare a drought and distribute immediate relief aid. DCM Shinde acknowledged that dry spells have scorched standing crops in parts of Vidarbha and Marathwada. Crop loss assessments (panchnamas) are currently underway to distribute aid based on actual losses. He held a video conference with Osmanabad (Dharashiv) Guardian Minister Pratap Sarnaik, MP Omraje Nimbalkar, and the District Collector to review the crisis. District guardian ministers are actively touring affected areas, and he confirmed he will personally inspect drought-hit zones shortly to engage directly with farmers. Dismissing opposition criticism, DCM Shinde stated the Mahayuti government prefers letting its work speak rather than engaging in political verbal duels. Marking World Bamboo Day at his farm in Dare, where he has successfully experimented with cultivating imported crops like blueberries, along with camphor and asafoetida (hing), Shinde highlighted bamboo's versatile uses in producing ethanol, modern infrastructure, and everyday commercial goods. He urged large-scale bamboo cultivation alongside environmental conservation efforts during the festive season. DCM Shinde also took a sharp jab at his political rivals over their constant criticism of his visits to his hometown, Delhi, or London. Whenever I visit my home village, political rivals suffer from stomach aches. I will now have to look for a medicinal plant or prescribe Jamalgota (a traditional laxative) to cure their indigestion. I am a man of action and will answer criticism through my work, not words, he quipped. Earlier, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, in a detailed letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, highlighted the state's severe agrarian crisis due to erratic monsoon rains and demanded immediate intervention across nine key points. Pawars letter comes shortly after the Chief Minister expressed his resolve to make Marathwada drought-free on the occasion of Marathwada Liberation Day. Pointing out the stark ground reality, Pawar, who uploaded the letter on Friday on X, emphasised that deficient rainfall has severely impacted crops across Marathwada and other parts of the state, leaving farmers in deep distress. In his letter, Pawar raised urgent concerns regarding standing crops, drinking water shortages, and fodder scarcity for livestock. Due to the failure of rains across most parts of the state this year, the farming community is facing a massive crisis. Standing crops such as soybean, cotton, pearl millet (bajra), maize, pigeon pea (tur), green gram (moong), and black gram (udid) have withered, compounded by increased pest infestations. Consequently, the situation regarding agriculture, drinking water, and fodder supply is set to worsen, Pawar noted.
Bigg Boss 20 has begun, but the drama inside the house is already picking up pace. With groups taking shape and rivalries emerging among the contestants, Mahhi Vij and MC Mary Kom have now found themselves at the centre of an increasingly heated equation. A recently released promo hints at another confrontation between the two, this time over a task involving the house ration. The tension between Mahhi and Mary Kom began amid Mahhi's ongoing feud with Yung DSA. During the captaincy task, Mahhi chose not to support Yung despite their previously cordial equation. She explained her decision by pointing out that Yung had already served as the house captain and that other contestants should also get a fair opportunity to compete for the position. While Yung was disappointed by Mahhi's decision, the situation escalated after Mary Kom allegedly presented a different version of Mahhi's conversation to the other housemates. Mary also claimed that Mahhi had abused Yung, which further added to the tension between the contestants. Mahhi Vij struggles to name Mary Kom in ration task The latest promo takes the rivalry a step further. In the upcoming episode, Bigg Boss calls Mahhi Vij, Uditi Singh and Aashif Khan into the 2X room and gives them an opportunity to win 75 per cent of the house ration. However, the contestants are given a condition. To secure the ration, they must reduce or remove the 'Jeevandan' lifeline of one contestant. As the trio discusses the decision, Mahhi appears to struggle while taking Mary Kom's name. She is seen asking Uditi for the boxer's name while deciding whose lifeline should be affected. The moment appears to set the stage for another confrontation. Later in the promo, Love Gill is seen approaching Mary Kom and talking to her about the decision made during the task. His conversation with Mary seemingly provokes her, eventually leading to a verbal altercation between Mary and Mahhi. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) The exchange adds another layer to the growing rivalry between the two contestants, who have already found themselves on opposite sides of multiple disagreements inside the house. Viewers take sides in Mahhi-Mary Kom clash Since the beginning of Bigg Boss 20, some viewers have also discussed Mary Kom's personality and her comments inside the house. In an earlier episode, while speaking to fellow contestants, Mary referred to herself as a legend and suggested that nobody could be better than her. The latest promo has once again triggered a discussion around her attitude among viewers. Several users in the comments section appeared to support Mahhi and praised her for standing up for herself during the confrontation. At the same time, some viewers criticised Mary Kom over what they perceived as an overly assertive attitude and a tendency to look down on other contestants. The reactions remain divided, but the promo suggests that the Mahhi Vij and Mary Kom rivalry is far from over. With the house dynamics changing rapidly, their equation could become one of the talking points of the ongoing season.

Operation Toofan enters second phase, takes fight to grassroots: Chennithala
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 18 (IANS) The Kerala government is taking its anti-drug campaign Operation Toofan to the ward level, while setting up a specialised investigation team to go after high-value narcotics networks with inter-state and international links, Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala announced on Friday. Home Minister Chennithala said an Anti-Narcotics Investigation Team has begun functioning. The team, headed by Toofan nodal officer and North IG Putt Vimaladitya, will have three units based in Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, and Kozhikode. Each unit will comprise 10 police personnel, including a DySP, two Circle Inspectors, two Sub-Inspectors, and other officers. The specialised teams will focus on high-value drug trafficking cases and networks with links outside Kerala and abroad. The government said the move was aimed at making investigations more scientific, focused and coordinated, particularly in cases involving major suppliers and sources. At the other end of the campaign, the government will establish Toofan Jana Jagratha Samitis at ward level in association with the Local Self-Government Department. The committees will involve elected representatives, Kudumbashree members, ASHA workers, Haritha Karma Sena, youth organisations and other community groups. Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan will inaugurate the state-level launch of the ward-level initiative at Vengara in Malappuram on September 28. Industries Minister P.K. Kunhalikutty will preside. The second phase will also shift greater emphasis towards reducing demand and rehabilitation, besides continuing the crackdown on supply. Under Toofan Care, around 35 major hospitals have expressed willingness to join the programme, while a rehabilitation protocol will be implemented with the Indian Medical Association. A Toofan app is also being developed to enable people caught in drug abuse to seek help and speak openly about their problems. Amrita University's IT division is providing technical support. Chennithala said Operation Toofan had brought down drug supplies to Kerala by 20 to 30 per cent, according to the government's assessment. The operation, he said, had now moved beyond distributors and was reaching the sources of supply. Those who provided financial assistance to the accused for purchasing drugs will also face action, Chennithala said, indicating that the investigation would extend beyond the immediate drug suppliers to the financial network supporting the trade.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 18 (IANS) Actress Soni Razdan recently shared a candid and amusing video featuring her daughter Alia Bhatt, in which the actress opened up about a quirky habit of her father, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. Sharing the video on Instagram, the veteran actress wrote, When my daughter (@aliaabhatt) gets real about her dad, you listen because when it comes to dads, we all have a familiar story to tell. BYOB Bring Your Own Baap!. In the video, Alia was asked about one quirk about her father that annoyed her. She humorously revealed that having a smooth and free-flowing conversation with him could sometimes be difficult because he often forgot whom he was talking to. The Highway actress said, Its very difficult to have a smooth, easy, free-flowing conversation when he forgets who he's talking to and then calls me Shaheen and then sometimes Soni and then some other people that I've never heard of and then does the same thing with everyone else. However, Alia revealed that the habit she once found irritating had gradually rubbed off on her as well. She added, But lo and behold, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree, and now I do the exact same thing. So what's annoying is I've picked up on this quirk, and I've become this quirk. Further, when Alia was asked when she had last told her father that she loved him, she decided not to rely on her memory and instead called him right away. As it happened, Mahesh Bhatt was at the same premises, inside a preview theatre. Alia reached out to him on the spot and said, I love you daddy. That was the last time. Meanwhile, Alia has also been supporting her mother Soni Razdan, who is currently promoting her latest project Om Ka Hari. Directed by Harish Vyas and produced under the banner of First Ray Films, the film features Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav in the lead roles of Om and Hari.

Celina Jaitly has shared an emotional throwback photograph featuring several of the people she has described as her most valuable treasures. The actor shared the picture on social media on September 17, reflecting on loss, family and the pain of looking back at moments that can no longer be recreated. The photograph features Celina with her late parents, her brother Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, and her twin sons Winston and Viraaj Haag. Her younger son Arthur, who was not yet born when the photograph was taken, is absent from the frame. Sharing the picture, Celina wrote, #alone : I am unsure which pain was worse.. the shock of what happened or the ache for what never will. She went on to reflect on the series of personal losses her family has experienced and how the photograph has taken on a different meaning with time. I still cannot believe the tragedies that have struck our family. In the blink of an eye, I find myself staring at a photograph surrounded by my most valuable treasures ( only Arthur is missing he wasnt born yet) Celina Jaitly reflects on family, loss and memories The actor described the photograph as a reminder of a life that once felt ordinary, but has since been marked by significant changes and loss. I find myself in a script I didnt sign up for.. A story only possible in films.. Celina also spoke about how everyday family relationships can sometimes be taken for granted, only for their importance to become clearer after loss. We take our relationships for granted. Our parents, our siblings, our children We go about our days complaining so passionately about the smallest things, never imagining that the ordinary moments we barely notice will one day become everything we long for. She added, Then life hits, and the world we knew is gone. Yet there is the photograph. Those faces. That love. And the unbearable longing to step inside it, just once more. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Celina Jaitly (@celinajaitlyofficial) A family marked by multiple losses Celina has experienced the loss of both her parents within a span of less than a year. Her father, Colonel Vikram Kumar Jaitly, a retired Indian Army officer, died on July 2, 2017, following a prolonged illness. Her mother, Dr. Meeta Jaitly, a child psychologist and literature professor, died on June 8, 2018, after battling cancer. The actor also lost her son Shamsher, one of her twin boys born in 2017. Shamsher died shortly after birth due to hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a severe congenital heart condition. His twin brother Arthur survived. Celina has previously spoken publicly about the impact of losing Shamsher and has continued to remember him through social media posts. Her recent family photograph comes at a particularly difficult period in her personal life. She is currently involved in divorce and custody proceedings with her estranged husband Peter Haag. Celina has publicly spoken about being separated from her three surviving sons, Winston, Viraaj and Arthur, who are in Austria. She has also expressed distress over missing important moments in their lives, including the beginning of the new school year. Celina Jaitlys ongoing family struggles Alongside the custody dispute, Celina has also been seeking information and communication concerning her brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, who has been detained in the UAE since September 2024. The Delhi High Court had considered her petition seeking assistance and communication with him. In March 2026, the court closed that petition after a statement attributed to Vikrant during a consular visit was placed on record saying he did not wish to communicate with his sister. Celina has continued to speak publicly about the emotional toll of the circumstances surrounding her family. In a recent post about her brother, she referred to her parents no longer being alive and described him as someone whose absence has deeply affected her. In her latest post, however, Celina's focus remained on the photograph and what it represents to her. Reflecting on questions that have remained unanswered, she wrote, I dont know whether this is karma from a past life or some incomprehensible journey of the soul. No answer brings me comfort. No explanation makes the absence easier to bear. Concluding her note, she said, I have lost my most valuable treasures and this, my heart cannot accept.

Mamata Faction Submits New Choices To EC After TMC Name-Symbol Freeze For Bengal Bypoll

Alia Bhatt reveals one Mahesh Bhatt quirk that annoys her: Now I do the exact same thing
Soni Razdan is currently promoting her recently released film Om Ka Hari, but a recent social media post gave fans a glimpse into her family dynamic with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and daughter Alia Bhatt. On September 17, Soni shared a video of Alia, seemingly recorded after a screening of the film, where the actor was asked about one quirk of her father that annoys her. Alia pointed out that having a conversation with her father can sometimes become confusing because he has a habit of mixing up the names of people around him. Its very difficult to have a smooth, easy, free-flowing conversation when he forgets who he's talking to and then calls me Shaheen and then sometimes Soni and then some other people that I've never heard of and then does the same thing with everyone else, Alia said. However, Alia admitted that what once annoyed her has now become a habit she has picked up herself. She added, But lo and behold, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree, and now I do the exact same thing. So what's annoying is I've picked up on this quirk, and I've become this quirk. The conversation took another affectionate turn when Alia was asked when she had last told her father that she loved him. Instead of answering from memory, she decided to call him. Mahesh Bhatt happened to be at the same premises, at a preview theatre, and Alia called him on the spot. She then told him, I love you daddy. That was the last time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Soni Razdan (@sonirazdan) Alia Bhatt on Mahesh Bhatts theatrical side Alia has previously spoken about her fathers distinctive personality and the memories she associates with growing up around him. In an earlier anecdote, she recalled how Mahesh Bhatt would use dramatic gestures to make ordinary moments memorable. My father is very theatrical and that sometimes makes for great memories. For example, when I was in 1st standard, I had a spelling test and I was worried I was, for some reason, going to forget the spelling of the. My father made it a point to build into my memory, so he did some overbearing gesture to teach me the spelling so I dont forget it. But I remember him being this, like, grizzly bear, highly theatrical and highly entertaining, she had said. Soni Razdan is part of Om Ka Hari, which releases theatrically on September 18. Directed by Harish Vyas and backed by First Ray Films, the film stars Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav in the titular roles of Om and Hari.

Tara added, Here a few vids as like many new Mums, apologies I am being a bit doting and dont mean to be gloating! Also to perhaps help anyone getting a pup. Our kids are thrilled but our kids while they adore him and do play and help, eventually the actual potty training, waking at night, disciplining etc does fall on me. @roopaksaluja , our help and my Mum, Gaaga to our kids, him included, help too, but you know what I mean. Mammas are the ones who get the brunt of any tough ish stuff! So yes teething is causing him to nibble at our feet a lot, taken tips from our super vet and other doggie parents and we are slowly combating that, clinging to the its a phase they will grow out of narrative.

Mamata-led TMC submits names, symbol choices to EC 'under strongest protest'
New Delhi, Sep 18: The Trinamool Congress, led by its founder and chairperson Mamata Banerjee, submitted its response to the Election Commission's interim order that temporarily removed the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) name and its flowers and grass symbol from the ballot for the October 6 bypolls in West Bengal. The party emailed its choices of new names and symbols for the upcoming elections to the poll panel at 11:36 pm on Thursday and submitted them under strongest protest, according to sources. In its interim order issued on Thursday night, the Election Commission directed the two sides in the dispute over the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) not to use the party name and its flowers and grass symbol for the upcoming West Bengal bypolls, and asked them to submit their preferred names and symbols by Friday morning. The EC said the proposed name could be similar to All India Trinamool Congress, and the symbol must be chosen from the list of free or available symbols notified for independents and registered unrecognised political parties. The bypolls to Rejinagar and Nandigram are scheduled for October 6. The poll panel said the time available was not enough to complete the proceedings under Paragraph 15 of the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968, but noted the urgency of the party name and symbol for the upcoming by-elections. The EC said the interim arrangement was made specifically to cover the upcoming bypolls and would remain in force until the dispute is finally determined under Paragraph 15 of the Symbols Order. The EC order comes against the backdrop of a rebellion that began in the TMC legislature party after the Assembly poll defeat in May and later spread to Parliament. In June, 58 rebel MLAs elected expelled leader Ritabrata Banerjee as Leader of Opposition instead of the Mamata camp's nominee, Sovandeb Chattopadhyay, and secured recognition from the Assembly Speaker, marking the party's first split in its 28-year history. Five days later, the revolt reached Parliament, with 20 Lok Sabha MPs led by senior leader Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar joining the little-known NCPI and writing to Speaker Om Birla, backing the BJP-led NDA as a separate bloc, deepening the rupture in the party's parliamentary ranks. The move is a setback for Mamata, whose hand-drawn symbol has been central to TMC's journey since its formation in 1998 after breaking away from the Congress. The flowers and grass symbol became a potent expression of the party's grassroots identity for the last 28 years.

Chess Olympiad: Indian men beat Indonesia, women defeat Finland
Samarkand(Uzbekistan), Sep 17: Defending champions in both the open and womens events, the Indian teams won their matches -- albeit with some hiccups -- to remain atop the leaderboard with four match points after the second round of the 46th Chess Olympiad here on Thursday. For the second day running, Nihal Sarin was the difference between two teams as he defeated Hafiz Arif Abdul after briefly missing out on a tactical trick. Up against a Sicilian with white pieces, Nihal went for a direct attack against the black king but for just one move his own king came under serious trouble. However, as it happened, Hafiz missed on the trick and landed his king in deep trouble with many pieces still remaining on the board. Nihal wrapped up the issues quickly thereafter. Reigning world champion D Gukesh continued to struggle as he was held to a draw by Satria Duta Cahaya who played black. Gukesh could not get his pieces rolling for once and even though the complications remained, Cahaya remained on course by matching the world champion move-for-move. The game was drawn through perpetual checks leaving India with a 2-1 score with only Praggnanandhaa fighting it out on the top board for a victory. Even though he tried hard, Praggnanandhaa was not able to find a dent in the position of Susanto Megaranto, who played very solidly with white. With some great high effort, the Indian was able to reach a rook and pawns endgame with an extra pawn, but the resulting position was just a theoretical draw. The peace was signed in 79 moves. For the top seeded United States, it was a similar result against Mongolia as they too won by a 2.5-1.5 margin while the local team Uzbekistan, winner in 2022, won with a handsome 3.5-0.5 margin against Peru. In the womens section, the Indians did better as World Cup winner Divya Deshmukh started off with a victory over Johanna Paasikangas in her maiden appearance here on the second board. Vantika Agrawal won her second game on the trot, defeating Sara-Olivia Sippola on the third board, while B Savitha Shri continued to impress defeating Helja Lehtinen.
