He began his career with the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Benaam and has gone on to appear in more than 250 films across Hindi and other Indian languages. Over the years, he has featured in films including Mr. India, Tridev, Ghayal, Khiladi, Ghulam, Gupt: The Hidden Truth, Phir Hera Pheri, Baghban, Fanaa, Krrish and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Known for his muscular physique and fitness, Sharat has frequently been cast in action-oriented and negative roles. In an earlier interaction with Rediff, he recalled how his physical appearance influenced the kind of roles he received. He said, I came to Bombay. I started going to various offices, trying to find work. Slowly and surely, I got small roles in films. Because I was a muscular person, I used to get work as an action character. I used to do a lot of fights. I used to get beaten up by the heroes. In Kaala Patthar, I was in the introduction sequence for three heroes (Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor and Shatrughan Sinha). Every hero would come, beat me up, establish himself as the hero and carry on with the film. I was a punching bag of the film, and that was the story of my life for the first 35 years of my career.

Warder smuggled mobile phone into Bengaluru jail used by Prajwal Revanna; 9 arrested in three cases
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) Bengaluru police have cracked three cases involving the illegal supply and use of prohibited mobile phones inside Parappana Agrahara Central Prison, arresting nine people, including two prison warders, and uncovering an alleged network through which a mobile phone was smuggled into the jail by a warder and a SIM card was brought in through an undertrial prisoner. The investigation also led police to a prohibited mobile phone, SIM card, charger and notebook recovered from the cell occupied by undertrial prisoner Prathap Rai and convicted former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna during a surprise inspection on August 11. Police said the mobile phone was allegedly smuggled into the prison through a warder, while the SIM card was brought inside through an undertrial prisoner and was allegedly used by Rai and Prajwal Revanna. Police said five people who had allegedly purchased the mobile phone and SIM card and facilitated their transportation into the prison were arrested at different stages of the investigation. Technical data and interrogation of the accused helped investigators establish the alleged route through which the prohibited devices entered the prison. Rai and Revanna were produced before a court on September 8 and taken into police custody for three days for interrogation in connection with the case. On September 10, following the court's order, both were sent back to prison. The investigation into the first case began after prison authorities recovered four mobile phones, two SIM cards and a charger on January 13. Police traced the mobile numbers linked to the two Airtel SIM cards and obtained technical information through the CEIR portal to identify the devices in which they had been used. The investigation led police to Srinivas Naik, a warder at the Central Prison, who was taken into custody on August 28. During interrogation, he allegedly confessed to purchasing two of the phones under the fictitious name 'Rahul'. Police said Naik also confessed to purchasing around 12 mobile phones in a similar manner, keeping them in his possession and illegally supplying them inside the prison. In the second case, a mobile phone and SIM card recovered from inside the prison on August 20 were traced through technical details and the phone's sale records. Police found that the device was initially sold to an agency in Andhra Pradesh before tracing it to Bharat alias Bhuvan, who had purchased it. Further questioning allegedly revealed the involvement of Bharat alias KTM Bharat, who is currently in judicial custody at the Central Prison, and Vijay Kumar, a chief warder. Vijay Kumar was taken into custody on August 28 and allegedly confessed to his involvement. Police said technical data also indicated the involvement of other prison staff. In the third case, police said the investigation revealed that the seized mobile phone had been brought into the prison through a warder, while the SIM card was allegedly brought through an undertrial prisoner. Naveen Kumar, Manjunath, Prakash, Siddiq and Mohammed Tauseef were arrested at different stages and subsequently remanded to judicial custody after interrogation. Police said further investigation is underway to identify other inmates and prison staff involved in the illegal procurement, smuggling, supply and use of prohibited mobile phones inside the Central Prison. The three cases were detected by a team of Parappana Agrahara Police Station under the guidance of M. Narayan, IPS, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Electronic City Division, and the leadership of Satish K.M., Assistant Commissioner of Police, Electronic City Sub-Division.

Celina Jaitly remembers late son Shamsher on his birthday: Im heartbroken
Celina Jaitly remembered her late son Shamsher on his birthday on Thursday with an emotional post on social media. The actor shared a video she had recorded during a visit to Austria earlier this year, explaining that she was unsure when she would be able to return and wanted to preserve the moment as a memory. In her Instagram post, Celina spoke about her wish as a mother and shared that she hopes to be reunited with her son even after her lifetime. She wrote, My wish is that when my life reaches its natural end, I be cremated in my homeland, India, & my ashes be laid to rest with my son, Shamsher, in Austria. A mother's wish to be close to the child she could not hold for long enough. Addressing Shamsher, Celina explained why she had recorded the video during her Austria visit. She wrote, I did not get to see your brothers during that visit. Mummy is heartbroken, my son, but Mummy is strong. I keep going & keep living for your brothers, carrying all four of you in my heart, adding, Today, you were born alongside Arthu. You left us so soon afterwards, but you have never left me. She also reflected on the bond between Shamsher and his brothers, writing, I have seen the longing for you in Arthu's eyes & heard it in his words. I believe you watch over him. And somehow, through everything, I feel you watching over me too. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Celina Jaitly (@celinajaitlyofficial) Celina further spoke about the personal and legal difficulties she has faced while trying to navigate her family life. She wrote, I left my country, my parents, my work & everything familiar to build a life with my family. Today, I sometimes feel as though I must explain in words & documents what has lived in every breath of me since becoming a mother. How does a mother put a lifetime of love in front of a court?\ The actor also apologised to Shamsher for having to express her feelings through a recording rather than speaking directly to his brothers. She concluded her message by saying, I am sorry, my darling, that I have to say this through a recording. I wish I could speak to your brothers directly & remind them myself: Mummy is always here. My love has never moved away from you. None of you has to do anything to earn it. It is yours, forever. Happy birthday, my darling Shamsher & my darling Arthu. I will always be the mother of both the babies I brought into this world that day. Watch over Winston, Viraaj & Arthu, my son, while Mummy keeps finding the strength to move forward. Until we meet again, my darling Shamsher. Until we meet again. Forever your Mummy, she concluded. Celina is married to Austrian entrepreneur and hotelier Peter Haag. The couple welcomed twin boys in March 2012. In 2017, they welcomed another set of twin boys, but Shamsher died shortly after birth due to a heart defect. Celina has also been involved in legal proceedings concerning her family. In November 2025, she filed a case under the Domestic Violence Act against her husband in a Mumbai court, alleging emotional, physical, sexual and verbal abuse. She reportedly sought damages of Rs 50 crores, monthly maintenance of Rs 10 lakh and custody of their children. Her brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Jaitly, was detained in the UAE in September 2024 in connection with an alleged national security matter. Celina later approached the Delhi High Court, which in November 2025 directed the Ministry of External Affairs to extend legal assistance to him.

Shobhaa De calls Mirzapur: The Movie Monotonous; says, Maybe, Its meant for men
Shobhaa De has shared her reaction to Mirzapur: The Movie, admitting that the film did not work for her despite the popularity of the franchise. Shobhaa revealed that she had never watched the Amazon Prime Video series Mirzapur before deciding to watch its big-screen spin-off, directed by Gurmeet Singh. After watching the film, she said she was left questioning the decision to make it. In an Instagram Reel shared on Thursday, Shobhaa said, All I can say is Mirzapur: The Movie maybe should not have been made at all. She explained that she went into the theatre with expectations because of the franchises popularity and the buildup around the film. I went here with a lot of expectations, given the whole hype and the whole buildup to the brand Mirzapur. I came away feeling, What the hell is going on?, she said. While Shobhaa was critical of several aspects of the film, she praised its ensemble cast. She particularly highlighted Ravi Kishans performance as Babban Babua Yadav, calling it brilliant, while describing Ali Fazals portrayal of Guddu as unbelievably good. However, she was less impressed with Pankaj Tripathis performance as Kaleen Bhaiya. Mr. Tripathi playing Mr. Tripathi has become a bit too monotonous, Shobhaa said, adding, The same old expressions, the same old delivery. She also commented on the intimate scene between Pankaj Tripathi and Rasika Dugal, who plays Beena Tripathi. Shobhaa said she was surprised to see Tripathi, whom she referred to as Mr. Goodie-Goodie, doing a full-on sex scene. She described Dugals character as Lady Macbeth and vamp-ish. Among her other concerns were the films violence and storyline. Shobhaa described it as Otherwise violence of every conceivable kind for no reason and complained about a story that goes nowhere. The columnist also admitted that she fell asleep during the film for something like 15 minutes. According to her, two women sitting behind her were also snoring. Summing up her reaction, she said, Maybe, its meant for men. It wasnt meant for me. In her caption, Shobhaa revealed that she spent Rs 900 on the ticket and another Rs 260 on bhelpuri. She said she spent close to four hours wondering why I was watching a movie which had multiple set pieces randomly strung together. Mirzapur premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2018 and has completed three seasons. Mirzapur: The Movie released in cinemas on September 4, with several original cast members returning, including Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Rasika Dugal, Shweta Tripathi, Divyenndu, Harshita Gaur, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Rajesh Tailang.

Sivakarthikeyan's 'Seyon' unit wraps up second schedule of shooting
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 11 (IANS) The makers of director Sivakumar Murugesan's eagerly awaited Tamil film, 'Seyon', featuring actor Sivakarthikeyan in the lead, on Friday announced that the unit of the film had now wrapped up its second schedule of shooting. Raaj Kamal Films Interational, the production house of actor Kamal Haasan which is producing the film, took to its social media timelines to put out a video clip announcing the completion of the film's second schedule. It wrote, # (The second stage of courage's victorious journey has now been completed #Seyon) #VetrivelVeeravel #Varendi #KamalHaasan #Sivakarthikeyan. It may be recalled that Sivakarthikeyan had taken a short break in Ooty ahead of the gruelling second schedule in Madurai. The actor had a few days ago posted pictures of himself seated alone on a jeep and enjoying the serenity offered by the mist-surrounded mountains in Ooty. Posting the pictures on Instagram, he had said, A pause. A breeze. A little peace. For the unaware, the makers of the film had on June 10 this year announced that the unit had wrapped up the first schedule of shooting. Raaj Kamal Films International, the production house producing the film, had taken to its social media timelines to announce the completion of the first schedule. It wrote, From passion to progress #Seyon First Schedule Wrapped. # #VetrivelVeeravel #Varendi. The film officially went on floors in Madurai with a grand pooja ceremony that was graced by several celebrities including actor Kamal Haasan on May 18 this year. Produced by Kamal Haasan's RaajKamal Films International and Turmeric Media, the film features actress Baghyashrii Borse as the female lead. Interestingly, this will be Baghyashrii Borse's first direct Tamil film. A day before the official launch of the film, director Sivakumar Murugesan had taken to his X timeline to share a video clip showing him and the core crew of the film meeting Kamal Haasan at his office and signing the agreement. The director, sharing the video clip, had said, Tomorrow, #SEYON Begins Its Journey. Sivakumar Murugesan, in the video clip, was heard saying, I have longed and wondered if whether I could get an autograph of Kamal sir. But today, Kamal sir has given me an autographed 80-page agreement. The film has triggered huge interest in fans and film buffs ever since the makers released a glimpse video from the film called The Celebration earlier this year. The Celebration video showcases an incident that happens on the second day of the Maasi Kalari festival that is held at the Karumaathur Virumaandi Temple. The incident in question is shown taking place two hours after a major scuffle at the festival. A group of people gather at the local police station, even as the constable explains the situation to the inspector. He informs that a major fight had broken out at the festival even as the inspector begins inspecting those who have gathered at the station. He finds a group of young men with half tonsured heads and asks them what happened. The constable explains that the young men with half tonsured heads behaved in an indecent manner by flashing laser lights at dancers at the festival and making reels out of it. Therefore, somebody bashed them up and tonsured half their heads, he explains. The inspector then asks another man from another group as to why he was beaten. He says he was asked what play they were to stage at the festival and he had informed them that he was to stage the devotional Valli Thirumanam (Valli's wedding to Lord Murugan) and therefore, he too was bashed up. The reply makes those locked up in prison wonder if the person who bashed up the theatre artiste was an atheist. But then another man clarifies, He is not an atheist. In fact, he is the one who gets possessed by the divine spirit of Virumaandi. The cops realise that everybody from the neighbouring villages are there save one and that is the people of Karumathur, who are carrying out the procession. The others try to stop the procession but according to custom, the procession must not be stopped. The procession proceeds and the inspector happens to see Sivakarthikeyan in a possessed state and prays to him... The celebration video gives the impression that the story will be set in Madurai. The makers also disclosed that the film would release in October this year. The film, which will feature Sakarthikeyan in a power-packed and dynamic new role, will be a grand rural commercial entertainer. The film marks a significant reunion between Sivakarthikeyan and Raaj Kamal Films International. Their collaboration for this film comes on the heels of the blockbuster success of their earlier film 'Amaran', which garnered both critical acclaim and commercial triumph. Produced by Kamal Haasan and R. Mahendran, the film brings together powerful storytelling and a co+mpelling cinematic vision. Adding to the excitement, this project will mark the first-ever collaboration between RaajKamal Films International, Sivakarthikeyan, and acclaimed composer Santhosh Narayanan. The film has cinematography by Vivek Vijayakumar and editing by San Lokesh. Art direction for the film is by R K Nagu while Keerthy Sampath and Joshua Maxwell are its costume designers.
Besharam actress Pallavi Sharda to star in French-Indian romance 'Stay': Films are a weird world
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) Pallavi Sharda, who was seen starring opposite Ranbir Kapoor in the 2013 film Besharam, will be seen starring in a French-Indian romance 'Stay'. The actress spoke about the deeply immersive process of making films, describing cinema as a weird world that draws actors into vortexes of creation even when the cameras are not rolling. On Instagram, Pallavi shared the announcement made by a publication. It also mentioned that the actress will feature as a recently divorced woman named Sailee living in India who has been groomed to take over her father's successful company. During a trip to Paris, she falls for Leo, a delivery driver who dreams of becoming an actor. Their relationship is tested by family pressure, class differences, and the economic and cultural realities separating their lives in France and India. Turning to the caption section, the actress wrote about her latest project with filmmaker Rohena Gera. You make film. And then you sell the film. That is how you do it. But at the core of any film is an idea, a feeling, a vibration. We just work as doulas to make it come alive. I pinched myself every time I got to zoom with Rohena in the lead up to this film and delve deeply into our feelings and the mythologies that surrounded us as women operating across lands and cultures - in exploring the strangeness of constant cultural oscillation, she wrote. Films are a weird world. They suck you in to vortexes of creation, the aliveness of which exists just as much when the cameras are not rolling. She said every film takes actors deep into themselves, making the pauses between projects equally important for processing and integrating the experience. The actress added: The pauses between sets sometimes brings emptiness, yearning, but also synthesis the experience of each film portal for an actor takes you so deep inside parts of yourself that you need the pauses in between to integrate. Im still integrating this one. Besharam was directed by Abhinav Kashyap. The film also features Ranbir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor and Javed Jaffrey also feature in the film. The film follows Babli is a small-time thief who steals cars in order to support a noble cause. His life takes an interesting turn when he falls in love with Tara and decides to mend his ways.

As Centre seeks clarity on PM SHRI implementation, Kerala govt goes in huddle
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 11 (IANS) The controversial PM SHRI scheme is back on the table in Kerala, with the Centre writing to the state government for the second time, seeking clarity on its implementation. General Education Minister N. Shamsuddeen confirmed that the Centres fresh letter has been received by the Chief Secretary. He said urgent consultations would be held before the government takes a decision. The Chief Minister will discuss the issue at the government level and within the front and convey the stand. I cannot take a stand on my own, Shamsuddeen said. The minister said the government would consider whether to completely reject PM SHRI or go ahead with it subject to conditions. Its future, he said, would be decided after discussions led by Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. The issue has already figured in discussions within the Congress leadership in recent days. While a section of leaders wanted the government to drop the scheme, CM Satheesan is understood to have pointed out that completely walking away from it may not be easy. The scheme had first triggered a major political storm when the previous Pinarayi Vijayan government was in office. The state eventually signed an MoU with the Centre in 2025. The decision was criticised for being taken without adequate consultation within the LDF. The CPI, the second largest constituent of the Left front, mounted strong opposition, forcing the government to subsequently put implementation on hold and constitute a Cabinet sub-committee to examine the issue. The present government now finds itself in a difficult position. The UDF had opposed the scheme before and after the elections. Satheesan, then Leader of the Opposition, had been particularly vocal against the previous government's move. Shamsuddeen, however, pointed to the financial dimension. Kerala, he said, had around Rs 2,000 crore due from the Centre. Samagra Shiksha Kerala funds were the backbone of the Education Department and had been withheld. We have told the Union Minister that Keralas funds should not be withheld in the name of PM SHRI, he said. The Centre has maintained that Kerala signed the PM SHRI MoU in October 2025. The state subsequently sought to keep implementation in abeyance. With the fresh communication from Delhi, the issue has now moved back to the Centre of the political debate, leaving the Satheesan government to balance its earlier opposition to the scheme against Keralas substantial financial claims from the Centre.

Northern Virginia community holds candlelight vigil for Nepal flood victims
Digital Desk | Washington, Sep 11 (IANS) Candles flickered in the evening light as scores of people gathered in northern Virginia to mourn those killed in the Nepal floods and stand with families still waiting for news of their missing loved ones. The interfaith vigil at South Riding Town Green brought together friends, neighbours, elected officials, law enforcement officers and religious leaders. Some participants carried photographs of the missing. Others closed their eyes in prayer or stood silently holding candles. Indian American Congressman Suhas Subramanyam said many of the missing were from Virginia. Some lived in Loudoun County, where the vigil was held. He knew several of them personally. I've known them since I, before I was anything, much less a member of Congress, Subramanyam told IANS. It's very, very disheartening to see something like this happen, he said. The gathering gave families and friends a place to share their grief. It also allowed the wider community to show that those waiting for answers were not alone. They don't have closure. They don't know what's going on. They're not getting regular updates all the time, Subramanyam said. The congressman said his office was in regular contact with US officials. I've personally talked to the State Department multiple times, he said. Our team is talking to them virtually every day. He said the US Department of Defence had sent a military aircraft carrying equipment for the rescue operation. Even the Department of Defense has sent a military plane there full of equipment for the search and rescue, Subramanyam said. Officials were also working to coordinate DNA samples from relatives to help identify bodies that had been recovered, he said. The Loudoun County sheriff attended the vigil and addressed the gathering. He said the community had come together as one family during a painful time. This is one big family though, the sheriff said. And you can tell by the people that turned out their commitment to this, their commitment to prayer, their commitment to doing everything that they can to see this through. He said local authorities would support affected families and help wherever possible. Our role here is just to support the families here, to support this event, to support the people that may need help, may need assistance along the way, he said. Sridhar Nagradi, a Loudoun County resident associated with the sheriffs office, said seven people from the county were missing. He said families and community representatives were joining a telephone call each night to exchange information and offer help. We have a nine o'clock call every night and anybody need help, we are here, Nagradi said. The vigil moved between prayers, personal memories and moments of silence. Representatives of different faiths offered words of comfort. Participants were asked to raise their candles as the community remembered every life touched by the disaster. Our hearts are heavy for all those who lost their lives in the devastating Nepal floods, and for the US citizens and residents who remain missing, organisers said. The vigil ended with another moment of silence. Candles remained raised across the town green as organisers repeated the gatherings message: One community. Many faiths. One prayer. One hope.

Shopian residents demand staff, equipment at district hospital, threaten hunger strike
On Thursday morning, members of civil society and local residents gathered outside District Hospital Shopian, demanding adequate manpower, specialist doctors and essential equipment at the facility. The protesters warned that they would intensify their agitation, including by going on a hunger strike, if the authorities failed to address what they described as persistent deficiencies at the hospital. The hospital was established in 1977 as a Sub-District Hospital (SDH) and was upgraded to a District Hospital after Shopian was granted district status in 2007. Despite catering to a population of more than 2.5 lakh, residents said the hospital continues to face shortages of specialist doctors, technical staff and diagnostic facilities, forcing patients to seek treatment outside the district. We will go for a hunger strike if the hospital is not provided with all the facilities a district hospital deserves, said Mitha Gatoo, a civil society member. Gatoo said the hospital was functioning without several crucial specialists, including a urologist and cardiologist, while other categories of staff were also inadequate. He said the shortage was particularly affecting patients requiring diagnostic services. The USG facility shuts at 4 pm. Afterwards, the patients have to either visit private diagnostic centres or are referred to Srinagar, Gatoo said. He said patients from Shopian were being forced to travel outside the district even for services that, in their view, should be available at a district-level hospital. The protesters also raised questions over the utilisation of equipment already available at the hospital. While the facility lacks key diagnostic services such as an MRI, some of the available equipment remains unused because of a shortage of trained personnel, they said. An ECHO machine is gathering dust because there are no technicians available in the hospital to operate it, Gatoo said. He said the absence of specialists and technical staff was undermining the purpose of having a district hospital in the area. Magray Mansoor, another civil society member, also joined the demand for strengthening the hospital and said the authorities needed to take immediate steps to address the shortage of staff and facilities. The residents said the problem was not limited to one particular department but involved several areas of healthcare, affecting patients who depended on the government hospital for affordable treatment. Ashok Kumar Bali, a resident and former councillor, said he would also join the proposed hunger strike if the authorities failed to address their demands. Bali said the hospital served a large population and should be equipped with the doctors, paramedical staff and diagnostic facilities required of a district hospital. The protesters called on the health authorities and the administration to assess the hospital's requirements and fill vacant posts besides ensuring that existing equipment was put to use. They said people in Shopian should not have to travel to Srinagar or rely on private facilities for basic and specialised healthcare services that should be available at the district hospital. The civil society members said they would wait for the authorities to respond to their demands but warned that failure to act would leave them with no option but to intensify their agitation.

Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum, Amrit Udyan closed from today till Sep 13 for BRICS Summit
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) The Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum and Amrit Udyan will remain closed to visitors from Friday to Sunday in view of security and logistical arrangements for the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit. The Change of Guard Ceremony will also not take place at the Forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan on Saturday, said the official in a statement. The closure is part of an effort to minimise inconvenience to BRICS delegates and avoid congestion on roads by restricting public visitors to areas close to the Summit venue. The Delhi Metro has also decided to keep its museum at the Supreme Court metro station closed for three days starting Friday. While the Delhi government had earlier declared a holiday for its offices on September 11, the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions issued an official circular declaring a holiday for Central government offices on that day. Earlier, the Delhi Traffic Police informed the public about a change in dates for official work and legal cases in courts, especially those situated near the BRICS Summit venue at Bharat Mandapam. The traffic police advisory said that a National Lok Adalat that was scheduled to be held on September 12 in courts will now be organised on October 10. Since subordinate courts will observe a holiday on September 11 and 12, the advisory said that cases listed on these two dates will now be listed on September 14. The traffic police said that litigants should check the new date of their court case or Lok Adalat before leaving their homes and avoid an unnecessary journey to the high-security and traffic-regulated zone. Ahead of the international event, the Delhi Traffic Police have been conducting rehearsals for traffic movement during the Summit. As part of the traffic management drill for the events from Friday to Sunday (September 11 to 13), the Traffic Police have planned diversions at 22 points with regulated traffic movement on more than 35 roads. During the trial runs, the traffic police enforced curbs and diversions between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for a Motor Carcade Rehearsal ahead of the BRICS Business Forum and the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit. September 12 and 13, being a Saturday and Sunday, are expected to be relatively less challenging for traffic managers who are handling Summit-related arrangements. The traffic police have urged citizens and cab service providers to go through the advisory issued for routes where movement will be restricted, in view of the upcoming BRICS Summit in the national capital. Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Dinesh Kumar Gupta said that advisories are being shared with the public through the Delhi Police website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and print media so that the public does not face inconvenience during the movement. We have 22 diversion points in place, under which we will divert the traffic from designated points. We have also briefed our staff to guide people, wherever needed, regarding the diverted routes, he added.

Defending champions Alpine APL Pipers, FYERS American Gambits and Ganges Grandmasters now have 15 Match Points after eight rounds, with the first two slightly ahead with 73 Game Points, while the Grandmasters are on 72.

They now have 12 Match Points and 73 Game Points to show for their effort. The day began with the Ganges Grandmasters beating the Pipers without dropping a game.

On the Superstar mens board, two-time World Cup winner Levon Aronian turned the tables on Anish Giri by making the most of an additional knight in the endgame to win in 61 moves. I got lucky, very lucky. But I always believed that I could find the best moves despite playing very badly at the start. Maybe not losing the game was what I deserved, but winning, of course, is a huge luck, said Aronian, who was also adjudged the Player of the Match. Aronian made it a double when he defeated Nihal Sarin of FYERS American Gambits in the last match of the day, but his team lost four of the six matches and surrendered the advantage. On the icon board, Candidates 2026 winner Javokhir Sindarov defeated Ian Nepomniachtchi, Daniil Dubov outplayed Leinier Dominguez Perez, Bibisara Assaubayeva handed Polina Shuvalova her first loss of the competition, and MarcAndrea Maurizzi claimed three points after Luke Leon Mendonca ran out of time on the prodigy board.

Volodar Murzin then defeated Abhimanyu Mishra on the prodigy board in a time scramble to put the result beyond doubt.

BJP slams Congress, Karnataka govt for defying Vande Mataram legislation
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) BJP National Spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi on Thursday slammed the Congress and its government in Karnataka for going against a legislation passed by Parliament that stipulates rendering all the paragraphs in Vande Mataram as penned by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee when sung at any government programmes or official functions. Pointing out that state songs in Opposition-ruled states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu also mention bowing before the motherland, he sought to know if raising issues over the National Song does not mean surrendering before extremist and secessionist forces. Congress stands alienated from its alliance partners on the issue of singing Vande Mataram, with only the Muslim League standing in its support, alleged the BJP leader. Trivedi was referring to the Congress recently criticising even its ally National Conference over the singing of the full version of the National Song at the inauguration of the International Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir. National Conference leader and state Chief Minister Omar Abdullah reacted, saying it is now a statutory requirement and has to be followed. Trivedi also hit out at the Karnataka government for passing an order directing that only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram be sung at official events in the state. Every citizen of India knows that no state Assembly can pass a law against a legislation passed by Parliament, he stressed. This (state order) is not illegal and comical but also mirrors the inherent character of the Congress party that it wants to keep the Constitution in its pocket, he charged. He also recalled a comment from Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) National General Secretary Elyas Muhammad Thumbe that they had an understanding with the Congress during the 2018 Karnataka Assembly elections to avoid a split in minority votes. Since he made this statement in the 2023 state polls, the BJP has targeted the Congress for alleged links with the controversial outfit. Adding that the Congress party has denied this, Trivedi pointed out that SDPI, the alleged political arm of the banned Islamist organisation Popular Front of India (PFI), first spoke of contesting 100 Assembly seats, then 54 and then contested in only 16 seats and fought so valiantly that it lost all, and even had their security deposit forfeited. This, he insisted, strengthened doubts about a tacit poll understanding between the two. Trivedi pointed to Karnatakas song hailing the state as mother, as did the state song of Tamil Nadu. This dichotomy shows the opposition is not over social or religious issues, but rather goes to show total surrender before extremism and secessionism and the Muslim League, he claimed. He also took a swipe at the state leadership of the Congress in Kerala, where the party is now in power, heading an alliance. In Kerala, incumbent Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan on 7 February, 2026, according to media reports, gave a statement that he has no reservation about getting the support of JamaateIslami there and is openly running a government with the Muslim League, he added. The Congress party has taken a rigid stance on singing only the first two paragraphs of the song at all party events, citing it as a decision made in 1937 as advised by Rabindranath Tagore. This has been a subject of controversy, with the BJP terming it an act of appeasement and a violation of law.

GCL Season 4: Alpine Pipers win one, lose one to go on top
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 10 (IANS) Defending champions Alpine APL Pipers stormed back in style after losing the opening match of the day to beat PBG Alaskan Knights 11-6 to take the top spot in Season 4 of the Global Chess League (GCL) in Bengaluru on Thursday. However, Ganges Grandmasters or FYERS American Gambits can grab that top position from them at the end of the day when they face each other in the last match on Thursday. Ganges Grandmasters began the day with a convincing 12-4 win over the Pipers with black pieces, and CheQ Mumba Masters kept their chances alive with a 14-5 win over Triveni Continental Kings 14-5. With Ganges Grandmasters and Alpine APL Pipers both set to play two matches on Thursday, the opening clash between the two teams was extremely important in setting the tone for the day. Ganges Grandmasters showed why they are considered one of the strong title contenders this year by beating the Pipers without dropping a game. Stavroula Tsolakidou began the Grandmasters march by inflicting a second loss of the tournament on Koneru Humpy. On the Superstar mens board, two-time World Cup winner Levon Aronian turned the tables on Anish Giri by making the most of an additional knight in the endgame to win in 61 moves.

With Season 2 now on the horizon, Ishaans latest post has offered fans an early glimpse at the effort going into his transformation.

The traffic police also urged citizens and cab service providers to go through the advisory issued for routes where movement will be restricted, in view of the upcoming BRICS Summit in the national capital. Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Dinesh Kumar Gupta said: The BRICS Summit will be held in India on September 11, 12 and 13.

Gupta said that the advisories are being shared with the public through the Delhi Police website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and print media so that the public does not face inconvenience during the movement. We have 22 diversion points in place, under which we will divert the public from designated points. We have also briefed our staff to guide people, wherever needed, regarding the diverted routes, he added. He noted that the closure of all schools and government offices on September 11 would make it easy for the police to manage traffic movement.

SC seeks Centres response on PIL to bar minors from maintaining social media accounts independently
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to the Centre on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking directions to ensure that children below the age of 18 are not permitted to independently create and maintain accounts on social media and other digital platforms. A Bench of the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana issued the notice on the plea filed by Just Rights for Children Alliance through advocate Saksham Maheshwari. The PIL contends that children below 18 are presently permitted to independently create and maintain accounts on social media platforms despite their statutory incapacity to enter into contracts under Section 11 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. It contends that an agreement entered into by a minor is void ab initio and argues that the absence of an effective and uniform mechanism giving practical effect to this legal incapacity in the digital environment exposes children to several foreseeable risks. These risks include online grooming, sexual exploitation, trafficking, behavioural profiling, misuse of personal data, cyberbullying, exposure to age-inappropriate content and other harms affecting children's safety, dignity, development and well-being. The petitioner organisation has sought directions to the Union government to ensure that persons below 18 years of age are not permitted to enter into contracts with digital platforms, including social media, online gaming, content-sharing, live-streaming and other user-generated-content platforms. However, the plea seeks that children be allowed access to lawful, educational and age-appropriate digital content through accounts maintained and controlled by their parents or lawful guardians, subject to an appropriate regulatory framework. The petition has referred to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, and a NITI Aayog report concerning online safety for children. It has also relied upon the terms of service of platforms including Meta, Snap, YouTube and Instagram, besides referring to incidents concerning the alleged enticement of minors through social media platforms and their subsequent exploitation. The plea has cited an incident in which girls were allegedly trapped through a K-pop lure and subsequently rescued, along with a chart documenting incidents relating to the enticement of minors through social media platforms and consequent exploitation. The petition has contended that the existing digital ecosystem does not provide an adequate and uniform mechanism to protect minors from online harms and that children require enhanced safeguards given their age and vulnerability. The PIL has sought appropriate directions to create a regulatory framework that balances children's access to lawful and educational digital content with safeguards against exploitation and other online risks. The matter has been tentatively listed for further hearing on September 25.

Meanwhile, Shriya recently came in defense of her father, Sachin, who has been on the receiving end of social media.

Shriya told IANS, He has more than 60 years of experience in the film industry and people are just not aware of the range and scale of experiences he has. She added that it is only natural for someone with such vast experience to share incidents from his journey during his media interactions. In a setup where somebody is asked, of course you are going to share your experiences. I feel like the love is so much that there is no space for negativity, Shriya shared.

British-Indian vodka brand Desi Daru heads to Roma Bar Show with Alphonso mango
Highlights: Desi Daru debuts at Roma Bar Show, 1415 September, stand F03 Follows the brand's fresh Italian launch with distributor Drinksnova Show draws 200+ exhibitors and around 17,000 visitors, including Pernod Ricard and Coca-Cola Bartender Elisa Favaron and brand manager Gregorio Soriente to guest-pour both days B Corp-certified brand recently named Taste Master at The Vodka Masters 2026 British-Indian vodka brand Desi Daru is set to make its Roma Bar Show debut at La Nuvola on 1415 September, showcasing its Original and Alphonso Mango expressions at stand F03, floor -1, zone F. The appearance follows hot on the heels of the brand's recent launch in Italy, struck in partnership with importer and distributor Drinksnova. Founder Mohit Singh described the show as the ideal launchpad for the brand's earliest weeks in the country, framing the appearance as a chance to introduce Desi Daru directly to some of Europe's most discerning bartenders. What is Roma Bar Show? Now in its sixth edition, Roma Bar Show is Italy's leading trade event dedicated to the beverage, bar and hospitality industries. Launched in 2019, it brings together bartenders, bar owners, producers, distributors and international drinks brands for two days of tastings, masterclasses and business networking. This year's edition takes place at a new venue, La Nuvola in Rome's EUR district, organised in partnership with Fiere di Parma. Organisers expect more than 200 exhibitors, including major names such as Gruppo Montenegro, Pernod Ricard, Coca-Cola and Luxardo, building on last year's turnout of roughly 17,000 visitors. The show also runs a dedicated Buyers Programme connecting exhibitors with international importers and distributors, alongside the Roma Bar Show Awards recognising excellence in Italian hospitality. See on Instagram Why it matters for Desi Daru The timing makes the show a genuine market-entry moment rather than a routine promotional stop. Having only just confirmed Italian distribution with Drinksnova, Desi Daru is using the event to put itself in front of trade buyers and bartenders it might otherwise struggle to reach so quickly. Sharing floor space with established giants such as Pernod Ricard and Coca-Cola also lends the young, independently founded brand credibility by association. Just as importantly, the appearance fits the brand's established growth pattern: steady, on-trade-led momentum built through listings and partnerships in the UK, South Asia and the Middle East, rather than one large marketing push. On the ground Desi Daru will pour both expressions throughout the event, serving Indian-inspired cocktails alongside the Drinksnova team, led by director Adriano Proia. Joining the stand for guest shifts will be Italian bartender Elisa Favaron, bar manager of Cuc in Bassano del Grappa and winner of the Reverso Martini competition at Venice Cocktail Week 2025, alongside Desi Daru brand manager Gregorio Soriente, formerly of the Savoy's American Bar and the Zetter Townhouse. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Mohit Singh and Aneet Kaur to reflect their dual heritage, the B Corp-certified brand recently saw its Original Vodka named Taste Master at The Vodka Masters 2026 the latest marker in a fast-moving year of growth.

Kishan followed up his double century with 80 in the second innings, and took his match tally to 350 runs. Jharkhands emerging talents played a pivotal role in East Zones triumphant run. Apart from Kushagra, Shikhar Mohan produced an impressive 85 on his Duleep Trophy debut and continued the strong touch he has displayed in the last domestic season. The duo, along with Kishan, ensured that Jharkhands influence remained central to East Zones title victory. Earlier in the morning, Quraishi and Roy extended their seventh-wicket partnership to 150 runs, and pushed East Zones total beyond the 700-run mark. South Zone were penalised five runs in the 73rd over due to an unacceptably slow over-rate, following a prolonged discussion between the match officials and South Zone captain Tilak Varma. Quraishi eventually brought up his maiden first-class century in the 96th over by driving pacer CV Milind towards extra cover for two runs to reach the three-figure mark. The young batter removed his helmet and raised his arms to celebrate as his teammates lauded him with a standing ovation from the balcony. Quraishi capped his milestone in the following over by striking back-to-back sixes off spinner Tripurana Vijay over mid-wicket and long-on. From the other end, Roy completed a patient half-century by steering Shaik Rasheed through point for a single in the 89th over. Roys resistance ended when he was caught at slip by Devdutt Padikkal off MD Nidheesh for 64, after pushing loosely at a length delivery outside off-stump. After Quraishi chipped a delivery from Milind safely down to mid-on off the second ball of the 100th over, skipper Kishan officially signalled the declaration from the pavilion. The umpires immediately removed the bails to conclude the final, thus confirming East Zone as the new champions.
