Celina Jaitly has marked two years since her brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, was detained in the United Arab Emirates with an emotional note on social media. Reflecting on the difficult period, Celina revealed that she has had no contact with her brother since his detention on September 6, 2024. She said she has done everything possible as a sister and continues to place her faith in God and the Government of India. Sharing a post on Instagram on September 6, 2026, Celina wrote, 6 September 2026 marks. Two years today since Maj Vikrant was taken. 6th September 2024 to 6th September 2026. These two years have changed both my brothers life & mine in ways only known to us. I have had no contact with my brother since. I have done everything I can as a sister, & I continue to stand by him, wherever he is, however he is, with faith & hope in God & the Government of India. Celina also spoke about her brothers military background. She described Vikrant as a fourth-generation infantry soldier who was commissioned into the Corps of Signals after training at the Military College of Telecommunication Engineering. He later joined the elite Special Forces and served with 3 Para Special Forces. He also served on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and received the Chief of the Army Staff Commendation for Gallantry. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Celina Jaitly (@celinajaitlyofficial) In her emotional message, Celina said her feelings for her brother have not changed despite the circumstances. A sister who has lost everything awaits her brother. Besides my sons, he is all I have. And truly, I am all he has of blood. No matter what you said, or under what circumstances you said it, bhai, my love for you remains unchanged. I am your sister, & I will always stand by you, she wrote. She also remembered their late parents and added, Maa & Pa, wherever you are, please know that I am steadfast in my support of our Dumpy. Celina concluded her message with a note of hope, writing, Bhai, wherever you are, however you are, your sister stands by you. With faith. With hope. Always. We will always be Mummys password. Chinky Dumpy. Prakramo Vijeyte. The post comes months after the Delhi High Courts proceedings concerning Celinas efforts to seek assistance for her brother. In November 2025, the court directed the Centre to take steps toward ensuring effective legal representation for Vikrant and asked authorities to attempt to facilitate communication between the siblings. However, in March 2026, the Delhi High Court rejected Celinas plea seeking consular access, legal assistance and communication with her brother after it was informed that Vikrant did not wish to communicate with her and wanted to handle legal matters after consulting his wife, Charul Jaitly. Following the development, Celina maintained that her primary concern had always been her brothers safety and well-being. She also suggested that his decision not to communicate with her could have been an effort to protect her from further emotional distress.

Duleep Trophy: Ishan Kishans Epic 270, Kumar Kushagras 101 Propels East Zone To 708
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Skipper Ishan Kishan smashed a monumental 270 while Kumar Kushagra hit a fine century to put East Zone in complete command of the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone by posting a colossal 708 at the end of the second innings of the match, played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Monday. Kishans 334-ball knock, laced with 30 fours and seven sixes, registered the eighth-highest individual score in a Duleep Trophy match. Kushagra, on the other hand, hit 101 off 132 balls, studded with eight fours and five sixes, ensuring that a total in excess of 700 was registered at Chepauk for only the third time in first-class cricket history before East Zone were finally bowled out by stumps. Resuming from their overnight score of 385/4, East Zone continued to pile on the runs right from the outset. Desperately seeking wickets, South Zone took the new ball after delaying it for just one over, but neither Mohammad Siraj nor MD Nidheesh could find an early breakthrough. Kishan got going immediately, collecting successive boundaries off Siraj before giving the same treatment to Nidheesh. Kushagra soon joined the party from the other end as, on either side of the drinks break, South Zone introduced spinners Tripurana Vijay and Shreyas Gopal into the attack, but it didnt change the trajectory of East Zones innings. Kushagra moved into the nineties with a couple of boundaries off Gopal before eventually bringing up his sixth first-class century. South Zone finally got the much-needed breakthrough closer to the lunch break when Kushagra found the fielder at fine leg off Vijay. For Kishan, however, it remained business as usual as he continued to manipulate the field with ease. Taking full toll of a tiring opposition, the aggressive left-hander slammed three boundaries in a single over from Gopal. South Zone attempted to break his momentum by deploying part-timers Devdutt Padikkal and Shaikh Rasheed, but to no avail as Kishan reached his double century off 270 balls. After crossing the milestone, Kishan accelerated rapidly and hit boundaries with immaculate ease to move past 250, with South Zone eagerly anticipating a declaration. Even after guiding his side past the 600-run mark, the captain showed no intention of declaring. Although fatigue briefly caught up with Kishan and forced him to retire temporarily, the runs kept flowing for East Zone. With the total edging closer to 700, Mohammed Shami departed for a quickfire 28, which brought Kishan back to the crease in pursuit of a rare triple century. However, wickets falling at the other end forced his hand, and he was eventually caught near the long-on boundary, falling just 30 runs short of the 300-mark. By the time the East Zone innings ended at 708, they had firmly taken charge of winning the summit clash against a tiring South Zone. Although fatigue briefly caught up with Kishan and forced him to retire temporarily, the runs kept flowing for East Zone. With the total edging closer to 700, Mohammed Shami departed for a quickfire 28, which brought Kishan back to the crease in pursuit of a rare triple century.

After nearly 17 years in the industry, Sikandar Kher says his relationship with acting has become more complicated with time. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor opened up about how his approach to the craft has evolved, describing his equation with acting through the analogy of a marriage. Looking back at his journey from his assistant director days to becoming an actor, Sikandar said he did not initially have a relationship with acting. I was just going on set and doing whatever I was doing, he said. Describing his current equation with the craft, he added, My relationship with acting is extremely complicated. It's not a situationship. It's a relationship. I am married. I am a married man with acting. Let's just say that. There are always fights. Sikandar went on to explain that despite the occasional frustrations, he remains deeply attached to the profession. I have a friendship with acting, to make it sound as beautiful as it can. Because I am not only madly in love with her. I would do anything for her. But I also get very upset with her from time to time, where she can also get upset with me, he said, referring to acting as she. The actor also spoke about deliberately pushing himself beyond his comfort zone. According to him, stepping into unfamiliar territory can bring nervousness and self-doubt, but ultimately teaches him more about himself. For Sikandar, the people he works with are equally important to the process. The whole thing should be joy. The making of something should be joy. It should be fun, at least for an actor, he said, adding that he continues to believe there is always something new to learn. When asked about his non-negotiables while choosing a project, Sikandar initially pointed to the script, but stressed that he is willing to make significant physical transformations for a role. I will become bald for my character. So there is nothing non-negotiable, to be very honest, he said. However, the actor drew a clear line when it comes to his ethical boundaries. Recalling a scene from a show that he felt was unnecessary, he said he had refused to perform it, particularly because he did not believe the scene was important to the character or story. There are some things that might be non-negotiable, that might be ethically something that I do not agree with. That will be non-negotiable, Sikandar said. For him, the fundamental principle remains simple: Just respect for one another is important. Sikandar Kher is set for a busy second half of 2026, with several projects lined up across different stages of production. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor revealed that while he is currently shooting for multiple projects, he is also gearing up for the release of Prahaar and working on dubbing assignments. When asked how things were going, Sikandar responded with his characteristic humour. It's going good. You tell me, you kept me on hold for so long, he said. Asked if he had been shooting for something secret, the actor replied, Many secret things I am shooting for, many. While he remained tight-lipped about those projects, Sikandar shared, Dahaad (Season 2) is going on. Prahaar is releasing. There are some things that are going to start. Some dubbing is going on. So yeah, by the grace of God, I am busy. View this post on Instagram A post shared by SK (@sikandarkher) With several projects in the pipeline, the actor was asked if audiences could expect more of him in the second half of 2026. You will get tired of seeing me. There are going to be so many releases, he said.

Kritika Kamra revisits Gianni Versaces 90s rebellion in Archival runway look
Following her recent appearance in an archival Dior gown at her wedding reception, Kritika Kamra has once again looked to fashion history for inspiration. At a recent event in Mumbai, the actor wore an archival Gianni Versace runway piece from the designers Fall/Winter 1992 collection, famously known as the Miss S&M or Bondage collection. The outfit was also a fitting choice for the theme of the event she attended. The collection remains among Versaces most provocative and unconventional works, with the designer drawing on themes of rebellion, sexuality and subversion and translating them into high fashion. Kritika gave the vintage piece a contemporary touch, carrying the look with confidence while staying true to its original character. With her background in fashion and continued interest in the craft, the actor has often shown an appreciation for the thought and history behind the clothes she chooses, rather than simply following current trends. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kritika Kamra (@kkamra) Her latest Versace appearance marks her second archival fashion moment in recent weeks, following her Dior gown. Through these choices, Kritika continues to explore archival fashion as more than a nod to nostalgia, using significant pieces from fashion history to connect past styles with the present. Her approach also highlights the growing interest in archival fashion, where iconic designs from earlier eras are being revisited and styled for contemporary occasions.

Kanika Dhillons Gandhari is gaining attention beyond India, with the Taapsee Pannu-led action thriller trending strongly on Netflix across several international markets. As of September 5, the film was trending at No. 1 in eight countries and featured in the Top 10 in 49 additional countries. The international response comes alongside growing audience interest in the film, which combines action, emotion and a mothers determination to protect her child. Taapsee Pannu plays Bani, a mother who is pushed to her limits after her child is taken away from her. Written and produced by Kanika Dhillon and directed by Devashish Makhija, Gandhari is rooted in an Indian emotional and cultural setting while exploring themes that have resonated with viewers across different markets. The film is currently at No. 1 in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Sri Lanka and Mauritius. It has also entered the Top 10 charts in 49 other countries. Reacting to the films international performance, Taapsee took to Instagram to share her excitement. She said, I had sleepless nights pondering over the fact our film is just out there for the audiences to watch in so many countries, all at once. But, I am really excited to share that we are trending at no.1 in 8 countries and trending in the top 10 in 49 countries. When we made this film, we thought that this is a very rooted story and only Indian audience would be able to relate with Bani's world and culture but this is phenomenal. A big thank you to everyone. The film draws inspiration from the essence of Gandhari from the Mahabharata and presents the idea of a mothers love through a contemporary action-driven story. At its centre is Banis journey as she takes on seemingly impossible odds to bring her child back. Taapsees performance has also been a key part of the films reception. Her portrayal combines physical intensity with the emotional side of a mother fighting for her child, giving the character a strong action-oriented identity while keeping her motivations grounded in the story. With Gandhari appearing prominently on Netflix charts across multiple countries, the film has expanded its reach beyond its Indian setting and connected with audiences in several international markets.

Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde administered the oath of office in the presence of senior judicial officers, government representatives and top administrative officials. Following the oath-taking ceremony, Justice Agrawal signed the warrant of appointment issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan, formally completing the process of assuming charge as the new Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, Deputy Chief Ministers Diya Kumari and Premchand Bairwa, several state ministers and all judges of the Rajasthan High Court attended the ceremony. Rajasthan Chief Secretary V. Srinivas was also present. The ceremony also saw the presence of outgoing Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma, whose tenure had been the subject of controversy in recent months. The appointment of Justice Agrawal comes at a significant time for the Rajasthan High Court, following developments surrounding the office of the Acting Chief Justice. With his formal assumption of office, Justice Agrawal will now oversee the judicial and administrative functioning of the Rajasthan High Court. As Chief Justice, he will have a key role in the allocation of judicial responsibilities, administrative supervision and ensuring the smooth functioning of the court. The swearing-in ceremony brought together the state's top political, judicial and administrative leadership, underlining the importance of the change at the helm of the High Court.

The formal ceremony at Raj Bhavan marked the beginning of Justice Agrawal's tenure as the 44th Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court. His appointment assumes added significance as the court moves forward following the recent controversy involving its previous acting leadership. Supreme Court Justice Sandeep Mehta had recently written to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant seeking Justice Sharma's transfer out of Rajasthan and appointment of a regular Chief Justice from another High Court. Justice Mehta had raised allegations concerning Justice Sharma's exercise of administrative powers and the listing of cases. The controversy also triggered protests by lawyers at both the Jaipur and Jodhpur benches of the Rajasthan High Court, with lawyers demanding that Justice Sharma be divested of his charge as Acting Chief Justice. Justice Sharma, who is set to retire later this month, has denied the allegations against him.

Duleep Trophy final: Kishan's hundred leads East's run glut on day-1
Skipper Ishan Kishan struck a flowing unbeaten 111, leading East Zone to a commanding 385 for four against a sloppy South Zone on the opening day of the Duleep Trophy final here on Sunday. Kishan (14x4, 1x6) and Kumar Kushagra (63) were batting at stumps, and the fifth wicket pair has so far added 144 runs in just 26.4 overs. The other contributors were teen phenom Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (44, 37b), Abhimanyu Easwaran (72), and Shikhar Mohan (85). Kishan, who completed 4000 first-class runs, merged aggression and composure to a nicety in his 135-ball knock, and raised 94 runs for the fourth wicket with Mohan. It came at an important juncture too when East were in trouble, the only time in the first innings so far, at 147 for three. South could have had their rivals in a far deeper predicament but Kishan and Mohan averted the disaster on a pitch that remained true the whole day. Kishans was a complete innings, sending the ball to all parts of the field through powerful pulls and imperious drives through the covers. The left-hander reached his fifty in 71 balls and then the next 50 came off 51 balls, completing his 10th first-class hundred. Kishan reached the landmark with a driven four off Shreyas Gopal, who was playing in his 100th first-class match. At the other end, Mohan has a solid presence, showing a lot more maturity than his tender 21 years. The feature of his innings was the judgment he showed to leave the ball outside off-stump. There was not even one single play and miss in his innings. But his fifty was not all about defence as Mohan carted off-spinner Tripurana Vijay for a six and two fours in one over to showcase his range. Just as he was nearing a well-deserved hundred, Mohan chopped left-arm pacer CV Milind, who replaced an injured Vidwath Kaverappa, on to his stumps. In fact, it was the Easts first innings story in a nutshell, batters getting dismissed before the innings reached the full bloom. Easwaran, who is often dubbed as an obdurate batter, looked in complete control, and at times even outpaced Sooryavanshi. They milked 100 runs for the opening wicket in just 14.overs and East seldom let that momentum slip. Sooryavanshi would curse himself for playing a rather reckless pull off Milind for substitute Tanay Thayagarajan to offer a simple catch in the deep. It, perhaps, was the first time South bowlers tested the young left-hander with a short-pitched ball and it yielded instant results. The whole sequence will teach the Bihar youngster to show more patience in the middle, particularly when nearly 10,000 spectators thronged the MA Chidambaram Stadium to watch the latest wonder kid in cricket. Kushagra too played with determination as South withered under a barrage of runs. Nothing more revealed the plight of South than the sight of lead pacer Mohammad Siraj going through three colourless spells. The India quick's outing on the day read 5-0-41-0, 5-1-24-0 and 4-0-31-0 for an overall reading of 14-1-96-0. Siraj was clobbered around by Sooryavanshi (6, 4, 4), Easwaran (4, 4), Kushagra (6, 4) as the Hyderabad man struggled to make an impact. He can partly blame a flat pitch for his ineffectiveness, but there was no real attempt from his side to alter the course of the happenings.

Punjab Cabinet takes exception to appointment of High Court Chief Justice without state opinion
Chandigarh, Sep 6 (IANS) The Punjab Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on Sunday condemned the BJP-led Central Government for bypassing the states constitutional rights and established procedure. Taking exception to the appointment of Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra as Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court without awaiting the views of the state government, the Cabinet resolved that the appointment and administration of oath should be put on hold until Punjabs views are obtained and duly considered. The Chief Ministers Office stated, The rights of Punjab have been violated by the Union government for a long time. In recent times, the interference from the Centre has increased to an unprecedented extent wherein the rights of Punjab as enshrined under the Constitution of India and several rules and regulations have been denied on multiple occasions. It stated, The Union unanimously altered the rules of the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) by removing the traditional convention that guaranteed the Member (Power) was selected from Punjab, thereby diluting the states representation over its own river waters and dams. Further, the Union has proposed centralisation of Panjab University, which was strongly opposed by Punjab, but the Union has continued its interference to overpower the stronghold and authority of the people of Punjab by misusing its authority. The Punjab Cabinet pointed out, The BJP-led Central government has also denied over Rs 9,000 crore of RDF dues to the government of Punjab, thereby inflicting great pain and suffering on the farmers who are the beneficiaries of the infrastructure sought to be created through RDF funds. Similarly, the Union through the Prime Minister announced a relief package of Rs 1,600 crore after the devastating floods in 2025; however, not a single rupee of this package has been disbursed to Punjab till date. Pointing to the most recent notification of September 5, the Punjab Cabinet noted, The Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India, the President of India passed an order appointing Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra as the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. This appointment has been made without obtaining the consent of the state government, thereby bypassing all Constitutional norms and set procedures. The Cabinet stated, The Memorandum of Procedure for appointment and transfer of Chief Justices and Judges of High Court, in its Para 6, clearly indicates that after receipt of the recommendation of the Chief Justice of India, the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs would obtain the views of the state government. After receipt of the views of the state government, the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs will submit proposals to the Prime Minister, who will then advise the President as to the selection. The Chief Minister's Office noted, As posted on July 25 by the Press Information Bureau, Government of India, in a reply to a Question appearing in Lok Sabha, the Union Minister for Law, Justice and Company Affairs informed the House that appointment of Judges in the higher judiciary is a continuous, integrated and collaborative process between the Executive and Judiciary. It requires consultation and approval from various constitutional authorities, both at the State and Central level. In the instant case, the Collegium of the Supreme Court of India, vide minutes dated August 6 have recommended the appointment of Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra, Acting Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, as the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. On August 12, Punjab received the letter from Arjun Ram Meghwal, Minister of State for Law and Justice, for the consent of Punjab in terms of Para 6 of the Memorandum showing the procedure for appointment and transfer of Chief Justices and Judges of the High Court, it added. The Cabinet pointed out, However, in complete disregard to the Memorandum of Procedures and established Constitutional norms, the Union has hurriedly notified the appointment of the Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court without awaiting response of the state government. It added, It is pertinent to note that no clear time limit is prescribed for the state and the Governor to send its recommendation in the case of appointment of the Chief Justice. Whereas, in the year 2024, when a judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court, Justice Gurmeet Singh Sandhawalia, was recommended by the Collegium of the Supreme Court of India for his appointment as Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court, the same proposal was not notified by the Ministry of Law and Justice for more than two months and understandably on not receiving the recommendation from the Madhya Pradesh government. Later on, the Collegium and the Ministry of Law and Justice changed his appointment to the Himachal Pradesh High Court. As such, the feeling of perceived discrimination gets solidified in the sense that when a case of a Judge of Punjab is to be considered, it is dealt differently as that in a case of another Judge from another High Court getting appointed in Punjab, it stated. The Cabinet affirmed, Such actions on the part of Central Government, especially on the issue of crucial appointments in judiciary, has compelled the state Cabinet to deliberate and express its concerns over the persistent issues affecting the states constitutional rights and equitable treatment within the Indian federal framework. In order to ensure transparency, procedural propriety and the maintenance of judicial uprightness, it is therefore imperative that the aforesaid appointment and administration of oath be put on hold until the views of Punjab, as contemplated under Paragraph 6 of the memorandum, are obtained and duly considered by the competent authority. Thereafter, the matter may be proceeded with in accordance with the procedure prescribed under the said memorandum.

Duleep Trophy: Ishan Bhaiya Was Giving Me A Lot Of Advice While Batting, Says Shikhar Mohan
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Young Jharkhand batter Shikhar Mohan credited senior partner and captain Ishan Kishan's constant guidance behind him making a fluent 85 on Duleep Trophy debut, as he played a vital role in putting East Zone in command on opening day of the 2026/27 Duleep Trophy final against a star-studded South Zone. Drafted into the playing eleven as a replacement for Jharkhand teammate Virat Singh, Mohan and Kishan added 94 runs for the third wicket to rebuild the innings.

Ishan bhaiya was giving me a lot of advice while batting. He was telling me what shot is on and what is not. Thanks to that, we had a great partnership, Mohan told reporters at the end of days play. Mohan earned his place in the East Zone side following an outstanding debut Ranji Trophy season, in which he scored 613 runs at an average of 55.72. Though a specialist opener, he adapted seamlessly to the number three position. My journey has been very good so far. My first season in Ranji Trophy went very well, so coming into this match, I just wanted to carry that forward. I was looking to maintain that form from the Ranji Trophy. I didnt face any problem. The openers are Abhimanyu bhai and Vaibhav bhai, so obviously there is no space as an opener. My mindset was that wherever I get a chance, I should do well for the team, he added. South Zone pacers attempted to test Mohan with a short-ball tactic in the post-lunch session, but the youngster displayed remarkable restraint before inside-edging off a bouncer from Chama Milind. I didnt face any problem. The openers are Abhimanyu bhai and Vaibhav bhai, so obviously there is no space as an opener. My mindset was that wherever I get a chance, I should do well for the team, he added.

The 15-year-old did not disappoint a bit and marched his way to a stroke-filled 44 from 37 balls after treading with caution at the start. He had a fascinating battle with fellow international and senior Mohammed Siraj, who beat him with hard lengths but was then taken to the cleaners by the rising sensation. Sooryavanshi lined the Test speedster for three fours and a six in the 12 balls he faced from him in an enthralling show for the fans. Sooryavanshi's stay was ended by Chama V Milind on a short ball, while Easwaran also impressed well during his 72 as East were in ascendancy after the first session, having scored 133/2 in the 27 overs before lunch. South deployed spin from both ends in the second session, but Mohan negated the challenge and kept the scoreboard ticking. Milind came and got Mohan short of his century with a short-ball ploy; however, Kishan carried on and was joined by Kushagra later. The two batters went all cylinders behind the South's tiring attack in the final session as they put up an unbeaten stand of 144 from 160 balls and did not lose a single wicket in the final session. After being 246/4 at tea, it was this session which East Zone stole completely apart from a strong first session. East made runs at 5.56 an over as they collected 139 runs from 25 overs to end the day on a high note. The South bowlers struggled, and Siraj's return was not impressive either. The speedster failed to touch 135kph for the majority of his 14 overs as he stayed in the mid-120s and was hit for 96 runs at 6.90 an over and failed to pick a single wicket.

Tanushree Dutta drops a cryptic post on those who afflicted her: I will watch the fall & demise
Mumbai, Sep 6 (IANS) Actress Tanushree Dutta has shared a cryptic post, seemingly directed at those she believes have caused her pain and hardship. In the post, the Aashiq Banaya Aapne actress spoke about karma, her personal and professional life, and claimed that those who wronged her would eventually face the consequences of their actions. Taking to Instagram, Tanushree wrote about her hopes of rebuilding her life while issuing a stern warning to those she accused of plotting and working against her. She expressed confidence that her karmic wheels were turning and said she would witness the downfall of those who had allegedly caused her suffering. Sharing her image, the Dhol actress wrote, To those who afflicted me and removed me from my organic path in life. My vocational and personal life will be resurrected again in the most wonderful way and I will watch the fall & demise of all those who afflicted me for no fault of mine. The karmic wheels are turning and the next millenia belongs to me!

Their lives will crumble right before their own eyes, she added. Tanushree Dutta has previously been vocal about her experiences in the film industry and has spoken publicly about issues she faced during her career. Last month, the actress had also penned a note in which she claimed that her career was being sabotaged by what she described as enemy camp handlers.

An excerpt from her post read, So there are also people that want to work with me but the enemy camp handlers don't let anything come to me. They lie, manipulate and lead things astray at the enquiry level itself. Or misguide genuine brands, events and projects to sabotage me further. In 2025, Tanushree Dutta came into the spotlight as one of the prominent voices of Bollywoods 2018 #MeToo movement.

Parmish Verma says he has zero space for negativity after announcing divorce from wife Geet Grewal
Mumbai, Sep 6 (IANS) Punjabi singer-actor Parmish Verma has shared a message about staying away from negativity in life, days after announcing his separation from wife Geet Grewal. Taking to Instagram, the Gaal Ni Kadni singer shared glimpses from his fathers birthday celebration and expressed his admiration for him. Parmish also emphasized the importance of keeping negativity at bay.

I understand the psychology of it, and I accept the burden without resentment. When I was drowning, nobody came to save me. I dealt with my own consequences, carried my own pain, and learned to stand again. That, too, is being a man. The singer added, So is having the discipline to respect my ex-wife, respect the woman in my life today, and never confuse bitterness with masculinity. What isn't manhood is weakness disguised as virtue, becoming a weasel in a mob, feeding an agenda for attention and money, and calling cowardice morality. I know what I am. I would rather be hated for standing upright than applauded for crawling with the crowd. I'm proud of the man I became.

To facilitate the evacuation and movement of people in flood-hit areas, a total of 1,158 boats are currently being operated across the state. In view of the possibility of further flooding, 27 State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) teams and seven National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams have been deployed in different districts to undertake rapid relief and rescue operations. According to Water Resources Department data recorded between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. on Sunday, the Ganga remained above the danger mark at several major locations in Bihar.

PM Modi's Strong Message to the World from the SCO Summit in Bishkek
FRAGRANCE OF IDEAS Prime Minister Narendra Modi was recently on a very successful four-day visit to two Central Asian nations, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Besides attending the usual official ceremonies, bilateral meetings and other important engagements in the two countries, PM Modi also attended the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. The Summit was also attended by the Russian President, Vladimir Putin and the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, besides the other heads of government that were invited to the Summit. There is no doubt in the fact that the visit of PM Modi and the SCO Summit 2026 attracted the attention of the whole world, and all these developments were duly reported and covered by the global media. The presence of the heads of the governments of China, Russia and India in Bishkek was seen with keen interest by the international media, geopolitical watchers and the Western media and political establishments. PM Modi made a very impactful presence in Tashkent-Uzbekistan during his visit there before coming to Kyrgyzstan. The talks therein were focussed on bilateral cooperation, energy issues, and regional security. The Indian side also discussed the important issue of a possible uranium supply programme in the near future to India from Uzbekistan. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev received PM Modi at the Tashkent international airport and accorded him a befitting welcome on behalf of his government. He also conferred Uzbekistans prestigious honour 'Oliy Darajali Do'stlik' (Order of Friendship) upon PM Modi in recognition of his international stature and huge positive contribution to the global cooperation. This is Modi's 36th international award, which he has received over the last 12 years globally. PM Modi also held very productive delegation-level strategic talks with the Uzbek's side during his two-day stay in Tashkent. Modi also participated in yoga programmes in Tashkent, inter-cultural events, Ramcharitmanas recitation event, interactive programmes with scholars, Indologists, youth and the students at the university and the tree-plantation ceremonies. He also visited the former Prime Minister of India Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial and paid floral tributes to his memory. It was here in Tashkent that the former PM Shastri breathed his last during the Indo-Pak talks in 1966. On reaching Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, from Tashkent, PM Modi received an impressive ceremonial welcome. He held bilateral talks with the Kyrgyzstan delegation headed by their President, Sadyr Zhaparov, to enhance bilateral economic and commercial relationship between the two nations. He also attended the opening ceremony of the World Nomad Games in Kyrgyzstan alongside visiting global and regional leaders who had come to Bishkek in connection with the SCO Summit on 31st August and 1st September 2026. At the Summit, PM Modi made a strong plea to the world to dismantle the entire ecosystem of terror financing without double standards. He said that in the previous meeting of the SCO, he had outlined three pillars as India's visionfor the SCO, and these included 'security, connectivity and opportunity'. He said, The time has come to move these three pillars beyond vision and translate them into concrete outcomes. The first and foremost requirement for this is peace and security. Terrorism continues to pose a serious challenge to humanity as a whole. In the fight against terrorism, we cannot remain confined to an action-reaction approach. We must dismantle the entire ecosystem of terrorist financing, recruitment, radicalisation, and safe havens. We must speak with one voice and make it clear that there can be no place for double standards on this serious issue. We must send a strong message to countries that use terrorism as an instrument of policy and provide safe haven and support to terrorists that terrorism can never be a strategic asset for anyone. Our shared aspiration for a peaceful and secure Eurasia is also closely linked to peace and stability in Afghanistan. India has been contributing to the development and provision of humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan and will continue to do so. In todays interconnected world, the scope of security has become even broader. The crisis in West Asia has demonstrated that a conflict in one region does not remain confined to that region. Its impact is felt across the world, affecting energy security, maritime trade, and supply chains. The countries of the Global South bear the greatest brunt of such disruptions. Therefore, India has consistently called for all tensions and conflicts to be resolved not on the battlefield, but through dialogue and diplomacy. Drug trafficking is not merely a crime; it is a serious threat to our younger generation and regional security. The Centres being established under the SCO to address challenges such as security threats, organised crime, information security, and narcotics are a positive step. We must make these Centres an effective instrument for practical coordination and timely action. On the sidelines of the Summit, PM Modi met the Russian President Vladimir Putin and urged an immediate and peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. His quote got a lot of attention and appreciation that suggests; 'From endless war to the end of war'. He also met the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to expand trade and address West Asian diplomatic stability. The President of Iran requested Modi to use his extensive resources to bring the Iran and West Asia crisis to a halt. Pezeshkian urged Modi to leverage India's extensive relationships with various international parties to help stop the cycle of violence and support a peaceful dialogue process. He also thanked India for its support and cooperation during the recent conflict and called Modi a man of peace. In a bizarre attempt to showcase his presence at the Summit, the Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharief, who was also attending the SCO Summit, committed his office to post an edited group-photograph of the leaders of the Summit on their social media handle. He did so immediately after PM Modi's office posted the original group photograph of the Summit on social media. However, due to the huge international criticism mixed with sarcasm and embarrassment, the Pakistan PMO was compelled to change the 'edited photograph ', which brought humiliation for Pakistan globally and left behind a diplomatic distaste. Additionally, Sharief, in his address, raked up the issue of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) at the SCO summit unsuccessfully. However, the External Affairs Ministry of India, under the leadership of Dr. S.Jay Shankar, External Affairs Minister, who was also attending the Summit, issued a befitting reply from Bishkek itself and made its stand known to the world on the IWT issue. The statement said that the Hague-based International Tribunal ruling that 'Indias decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty was not legally permissible and that the 1960 pact remains fully in force' was not in any way acceptable to India. India rejected the ruling, saying the tribunal had no jurisdiction to pronounce on its sovereign decisions. India rejected the award and also the interim measures order, reiterating that it does not recognise the Court of Arbitration and has never participated in its proceedings. This so-called court was constituted by the World Bank in patent breach of the terms of the Treaty; and India categorically rejects its so-called award, just as it has firmly rejected all prior pronouncements by this illegally constituted body, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a frontal statement issued from Bishkek. The statement is a rejoinder to all the concerned who try to intervene in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation-state. India walked the talk very emphatically during the whole diplomatic process, pursuing its established policy doctrines, i.e. Terror & Talks won't go together and Water & Blood can't flow together. Indias consistent policy in this regard has stood the test, particularly when it elaborated that as long as Pakistan abets, sponsors and supports terrorism, there can be no real and normal relationship with it. This time, even The New York Times, that keeps on criticising India's policies and PM Modi's leadership, was forced to change the line. It highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's diplomatic strategy as a hedge against shifting U.S. trade policies under President Trump during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Bishkek. The New York Times reported that India is actively building new global partnerships and securing concrete economic and strategic deals to reduce its exposure to unpredictable U.S. trade pressures. The coverage in the paper noted that PM Modi has travelled extensively, visiting around 20 nations since August 2025, to hammer out independent economic ties, such as submarine technology cooperation with Germany and trade adjustments with European and Asian partners. The MOU signed with the European Union sometime back is a big example in this context. PM Modi's presence alongside Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping at the Bishkek summit was framed as part of India's multi-aligned foreign policy, balancing non-Western cooperation while navigating wider global and economic tensions. Energy security, new strategic deals, long term investments, historic engagements, forging cultural ties and opening new vistas for the establishment of peace in the highly volatile conflict regions globally are the most important takeaways of PM Modi's Central Asian tour this time. The whole world now awaits the BRICS summit that is going to take place on September 12 & 13 in New Delhi under India's BRICS 2026 chairship.

Former West Indies: Former West Indies captain Brian Lara has become the latest ex-international skipper to join the chorus voicing support for the imprisoned former Pakistan captain Imran Khan and his treatment. Lara took to social media to voice his support for Imran, calling for proper, independent medical care and dignity every human deserves as he stood with former international captains who have raised the issue of Imran's health in prison. Imran Khan and I only crossed paths on the field a handful of times, but the respect I have for him was instant and lasting, Lara wrote in his Instagram post. I am struggling to understand how someone who was once a beacon of hope, pride and inspiration for his country, at the height of his sporting career, could now find himself in a situation where he is not being cared for and treated with the compassion and dignity he deserves. I stand with my fellow former captains in asking that he receive proper, independent medical care and the dignity every human being deserves. This isn't politics. It's basic humanity for a legend of our game, he added. Lara's statements came days after the likes of Greg Chappell, Pat Cummins, Javed Miandad, Moin Khan and Kapil Dev voiced their concerns over Imran's health and treatment. Earlier, 21 former international captains had signed a petition demanding dignified treatment and proper court-directed medical care for the jailed 1992 World Cup-winning captain. The petition was signed by 21 former international captains, including Sir Alastair Cook, Michael Atherton, Steve Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, and Nasser Hussain, and expressed grave concern over Khan's health, particularly reports regarding significant vision loss in his right eye, after he spent over three years in custody. Imran Khan is 73 years old and has now spent more than three years in custody. Whatever the legal and political arguments surrounding his case, the basic decency of ensuring a court-ordered medical process is actually completed is not, in our view, a controversial request, the letter stated. The petition was signed by 21 former international captains, including Sir Alastair Cook, Michael Atherton, Steve Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, and Nasser Hussain, and expressed grave concern over Khan's health, particularly reports regarding significant vision loss in his right eye, after he spent over three years in custody.
