Sir Elton John pays tribute to late designer Bob Mackie: His costumes were works of art
Digital Desk | Los Angeles, Sep 15 (IANS) Music legend Sir Elton John has paid an ode to the costume designer Bob Mackie after his demise. The singer-songwriter called him one of the most legendary designers ever in Hollywood. The late fashion icon passed away on Monday at the age of 87 from pneumonia, after wearing items like the crystal-covered Dodgers uniform for his gigs at the stadium in 1975. Elton John took to his Instagram, and penned a long note for the late legend. He wrote, Im so sad to hear of @bobmackies passing. Every time I put something on that Bob made, I felt very, very special. His costumes were works of art, and he will go down as one of the most legendary designers ever in Hollywood. He further mentioned, Bob had extraordinary vision and the workmanship was unreal. I dont think I ever wore a Bob Mackie outfit and had anything fall off, not a sequin or a rhinestone or anything. His clothes were made so beautifully. He loved glamour like I love glamour, but more than anything, we shared the same sense of humour and had so much fun together. In a sea of ego, he seemed to have none. One of the most courteous, incredible people I ever had the pleasure of working with, he added. Mackie is best known for his collaborations with Cher, while he dressed everyone from Tina Turner, Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross to Liza Minnelli and Miley Cyrus. He also designed costumes for television, film and Broadway, earning multiple Emmy Awards and an Academy Award nomination. Often called the designer to the stars, his work transformed celebrity fashion into spectacle and helped define the visual language of entertainment for decades.

In UP, barcodes to unravel history and significance of religious and historical hotspots
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 15 (IANS) For the thousands of tourists visiting various religious and historical tourism sites in Uttar Pradesh, they will no longer be needed to rely on the guides or locals for getting a peek into the history, archaeological significance, and beliefs associated with these tourist places. The state government has introduced a system of barcodes and plaques at various religious sites, where a simple scan by your smartphone will provide the pilgrims with 360 degree understanding of the whole religious spot, along with its historical context as well as significance. A total of 575 projects have been approved for the financial year and installation of plaques and barcodes has been completed at 14 sites. Uttar Pradesh Tourism and Culture Minister Jaiveer Singh said that this system is being implemented to provide authentic and concise information to devotees and tourists about sites of religious, ancient, and historical importance. He noted that the plaques display essential information covering the site's archaeological and historical significance as well as associated religious beliefs. The state government's initiative aims not merely to identify these religious sites but to develop them into new hubs of information and tourism. A visitor to an ancient temple, ashram, or religious site can simply scan the installed barcode to easily learn about the history, significance, and beliefs linked to that location. This will also help connect the younger generation with local religious and cultural heritage. Key sites where the installation of plaques and barcodes has been completed include Nardanand Rishi Ashram (Mainpuri), Samaur Babadham (Firozabad), Vankhandeshwar Temple (Ukhrand), Chyavan Rishi Ashram (Mainpuri), and Radhakrishnan Temple (Firozabad). Few others are Kalyani Mata Temple, Prayagraj; Shri Durvasa Ashram, Prayagraj; Shulkanteshwar Mahadev Temple, Prayagraj; and Shri Dashashwamedh Temple, Prayagraj. Additionally, the installation of information plaques and barcodes has been completed at Paglanand Ashram, Prayagraj; Kamanhiya Baba Temple, Ayodhya; Prachin Shivala Temple, Ayodhya; Prachin Jwaladevi Temple, Suchitaganj-Sohawal (Ayodhya); and Gehnag Baba Temple, Ayodhya. Many believe that this initiative has potential to provide new identity to smaller and relatively lesser-known sitesplaces that possess local historical and religious significance but often lack widespread public awareness. This system also marks a step towards linking Uttar Pradesh's religious and cultural heritage with digital information. As further projects are completed, more religious and historical sites across the state will be integrated into this facility.
Indias gold imports plunge 57.7 pc even as overall imports surge 14.7 pc
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Indias gold imports dipped 57.7 per cent year on year to $2.3 billion in August even as overall merchandise imports rose 14.1 per cent to $70.67 billion, the government data showed on Tuesday. Merchandise gold exports surged 26.1 per cent to $43.81 billion in August, narrowing Indias trade deficit. India's trade deficit dropped to $26.9 billion in August, down from $31.98 billion in July as merchandise exports rose 26.1 per cent on an annual basis. The fall in deficit could provide some relief to the rupee, which has been relatively showing a weaker performance this year. Strong demand from the United States, the European Union and emerging markets supported the export surge, Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said. The export surge was broad-based, with engineering goods, petroleum products, chemicals and textiles among the sectors supporting growth. The sharp fall in gold imports followed elevated global prices and repeated appeals by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to curb gold purchases to help contain the import bill. Inbound gold shipments stood at $2.3 billion in August, down from $4.16 billion in July and on an YoY basis imports were down 57.7 per cent. Uptick in merchandise imports were supported by domestic economic activity and demand for inputs used in manufacturing, along with higher energy prices adding to the import bill. Prime Minister Narendra Modi described Indias trade performance a herculean feat despite oil shocks, supply-chain disruptions and global uncertainty. Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to curb foreign travel, gold purchases and weddings to conserve foreign exchange necessary due to import dependence during India's rapid growth phase. As the economy grows faster, the need for both energy and technology inputs grow. Hence, the country needs foreign exchange to pay for precision machines, materials, CPUs, GPUs and advanced software.

Celina Jaitly has shared an emotional message for her sons Winston, Viraaj and Arthur as they begin a new school year. The actor, who is currently involved in divorce proceedings with her estranged husband Peter Haag, spoke about the difficulty of being away from her children during an important moment in their lives. In her note, Celina recalled the school-year traditions she once shared with her sons, including wrapping their books, working on school projects and preparing homemade treats. She also expressed her pain over not being able to accompany them on their first day of school and said she fears she may miss their school days for the remainder of 2026. Celina wrote, I once covered your schoolbooks. Today, I cover you in prayers. All the best for your first day of school, my darling Winston, Viraaj and Arthur. Mummy remembers the school projects, the books we wrapped and the ladybug Schultten I made for you in Dubai, or the week before school opened, when I lovingly spent time baking Schnecke and Laadi Pavs for school in Austria. Such simple moments. Such extraordinary happiness. Celina also addressed the impact of the ongoing situation on her children. She said she wants them to continue sharing everyday experiences with both their parents, regardless of the circumstances between the adults.

My heart breaks at this painful situation, she wrote. Whatever happens between adults, my deepest wish is that you can freely share these everyday moments with both your parents. I wish I could hear every little detail when you come home, she added. The actor further assured her sons that they should never feel compelled to choose between their parents. My boys, you never have to choose. You can love both Mummy and Daddy. Mummy will always support that. You never need to feel guilty about loving either of us, she wrote. Celina ended the message by telling her sons that she would remain available whenever they were able to reach out. Whenever you can reach out, Mama is here. My love has no conditions, and no distance can change it. You carry your schoolbags today, my loves. Mummy carries you in every heartbeat, she signed off. Celinas message comes amid her ongoing divorce proceedings with Peter Haag. Haag reportedly filed for divorce in an Austrian court last year. Following a complaint by Celina, the Mumbai Police registered an FIR against him under multiple provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in connection with allegations including physical violence, cruelty, criminal intimidation and sustained harassment. Authorities are reportedly examining statements, evidence and documents related to the matter. Celina married Peter in 2010 after stepping away from mainstream Bollywood. They welcomed twin boys in 2012 and another set of twins in 2017. Their son Shamsher, Arthurs twin brother, died shortly after birth due to a heart condition.

Led by Pilot, Punjab Congress leadership protests in Chandigarh against Finance Minister Cheema
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 15 (IANS) Led by the newly appointed All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary and in charge for Punjab, Sachin Pilot, the partys entire top leadership, sinking their differences after a long time, along with thousands of workers, marched on Tuesday towards the residence of Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Cheema, demanding his resignation for alleged abetment of the suicide of a Dalit, Gulzar Singh. However, the protestors were prevented from reaching Cheemas residence by a heavy contingent of police. Besides, the police also used water cannons to block the protestors from marching ahead. Several party workers, including senior leader Kuljit Nagra, were injured due to the heavy force of the water cannons. Speaking on the occasion, Pilot said the Congress had nothing personal against the Finance Minister. But he asked, doesnt the law demand registration of a first information report (FIR) followed by a detailed probe when a person has mentioned the ministers name in his dying declaration, he asked. Pilot said Gulzar Singhs suicide was reflective of what was happening in Punjab, much against the claims made by the Aam Aadmi Party. He said the situation is such that a poor Dalit had to pay with his life just because he raised a question about the free availability of drugs to which his son had fallen victim. He reminded the AAP that it had announced the appointment of a Dalit Deputy Chief Minister. What to speak of a Dalit Deputy CM, the Dalits like Gulzar Singh are forced to commit suicide under the AAP regime, he remarked. Reminding AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal of the claims he made before the elections that drugs would be finished within three months of forming the government, the Congress leader said that after about five years of AAP rule, now the chitta (synthetic drug) was so easily available that there was home delivery (of drugs). Expressing his gratitude to the party workers for mobilising in such huge numbers at short notice, Pilot assured each one of them that the Congress will always stand by them. He said he, as the representative of the party high command, will be at the forefront of every fight and struggle to get justice. He said he will not leave any stone unturned to restore the dignity and honour of each and every Congress worker. Senior Punjab leaders, comprising state President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa and former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, while speaking on the occasion, lashed out at the AAP government, saying it had proved to be the worst ever in the state. They said Bhagwant Mann had proved to be the most disastrous Chief Minister the state had.

Sohum Shahs Tumbbad gets themed Ganesh pandals across cities in India, watch videos
Sohum Shahs Tumbbad, when it was released, created a massive cult following. More than just a film, it became a phenomenon whose fanbase only grew stronger with time, with the 2024 re-release, emerging as one of the highest-grossing Indian re-releases. The films storyline, setting, and performances captured hearts, and the craze seems not to have slowed down. As the anticipation for Tumbbad 2 continues to rise, the craze for Tumbbad seems to have taken over the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities as well. Several cities across India witnessed Tumbbad-themed Ganesh pandals, with videos of different pandals making rounds online. From Hastar crawling out of the walls and eerie red walls to a goddess statue holding a pot-like object at the entrance and behind Ganesh idols, along with eerie hallways and pandals inspired by the world of Tumbbad, the celebrations showcased just how massive the craze for the film continues to be.

Gaurav Dhingra has worked in several significant films in different capacities like Mangal Pandey (2005), Delhi-6 (2009), Angry Indian Goddesses (2015), Stolen (2025), etc. Now, he has founded Jungle Book Studios and is distributing Angh. Set in Nagaland in the 1960s, the Konyak-language film will have a world premiere at the 51st annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) at 9:00 pm EDT (September 16 at 6:30 am IST). In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Gaurav Dhingra spoke to us from Toronto about Angh and a lot more. Tell us about Angh and how you got associated with the film I was asked to join as the producer of the film, but I realized that there was a great producer already on the film, Nancy Nisa Beso. So, I took the responsibility of selling the film. My job at TIFF is to market and sell the film. Angh is so deeply rooted in Nagaland and so authentic that it explores a world that remains largely unknown even to Indians. Even I didnt know much about it, and Ive learned a great deal over the last one-and-a-half years. Im sure a large section of people in India is still not very familiar with this part of our country. Its a fascinating story about what happened in Nagaland in the past. Today, Nagaland is one of the most baptized regions in the world. This transformation took place over a period of 150-200 years, as Christian missionaries, particularly from America, began coming to the region. Nagaland had its own deeply rooted tribal traditions, but Christianity also came with aspects of modernity hospitals, educational institutions, a more urban way of life and new forms of community living. This inevitably clashed with the traditional value systems that existed earlier. The film is set within this conflict between the two worlds. At its heart, however, it is a father-son story. Like any father and son, they have differences of opinion! The father happens to be the head of a head-hunting tribe. So, despite being rooted in a very specific culture, the story has a universal appeal. I believe it has the potential to travel far. Will Angh also have a release overseas in the non-traditional markets? The whole idea behind our studio, Jungle Book, is to back Indian stories for the world. All the films that we are releasing are global stories films that can work beyond one market. For instance, I was associated with Angry Indian Goddesses. Not many people know this, but it was released theatrically in 77 countries and was later acquired by Netflix. Stolen was acquired by Prime Video for a global release. We had many offers for it, but we didnt sell it to anyone who wanted to release it only in India. We wanted a global deal. So, our vision has always been global. However, the international journey of any film is unpredictable. As you move forward, you keep adding momentum and opening new doors. Right now, Angh is in the competition section at TIFF. There are just 11 other films in the competition. The winner automatically qualifies for the Oscars. In other words, Angh has around 9% chance of qualifying for the Oscars! Thats also how we look at international releases one thing leads to another. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jungle Book Studio (@junglebookstudio) And what about its release in India? We have a different plan for the India release. It may coincide with the films Oscar journey, should that happen. If something else develops along the way, well build on that instead. So yes, we do have plans for an India release, but we want to release it at a time when the buzz is at its peak and we can create strong awareness around the film. Having said that, we dont want to simply put the film in theatres in the conventional way. We want to create on-ground events around it. Think of the film like a rock band touring India thats the kind of journey we are envisioning. At times, such films sink without a trace. Many viewers are not aware that the movies released in cinemas. What will you do to avoid such a scenario? Yes, that happens because the entire system is star-driven. Marketing is largely centred in Mumbai and then spreads across the country. But the kind of films we back usually dont have famous names attached to them. So, we need to adopt the opposite strategy and focus on localized marketing. Today, whether youre selling a car, a house, a bottle of sauce or even shoelaces, almost everything is being sold through the same three mediums the internet, television and newspapers. These spaces are so cluttered that you need to spend heavily just to create visibility. That is why we also need to look at offline marketing. For Angh, we want to build that kind of on-ground journey and take the film directly to its audience. Do you have apprehension that your film will get shows? Its common to hear several independent filmmakers complaining about stepmotherly treatment from the producers But if your film doesnt have awareness, you cant blame them. The exhibitors are not meant to do charity. PVR doesnt own most of the theatres. The theatre is owned by somebody; they took it on lease for a certain number of years and branded it as PVR. Now they need to pay rent, whether or not the film sells. They also need to pay salaries, electricity, taxes, etc. and bear operating costs. So, obviously, theyll prefer to screen films that sell the maximum tickets. These are the films that get maximum visibility on internet, television and newspapers. If you can assure them that by locally marketing the film, youll create awareness and ensure the audience turns up, theyll be more than happy to screen the film. Offline marketing today is very crucial, and it doesnt even cost much as well. But its not given due importance and thats why many of our films are not working. It may also be that some of the films have bad content. But there are times when awareness doesnt even reach the target audience. The solution is not to pump in more money on online advertising as people are fed up of the clutter. In our case, well have an online as well as offline marketing plan. And once the theatrical run is over, will a film like Angh manage to comfortably get a release on OTT? Again, its the same logic. They also want viewers. They want a return of investment and hence, they are answerable to shareholders and not to you or me. If you dont just give the film but also an assured audience, OTT platforms aapke peeche bhaagega. Lekin abhi aap unke peeche bhaag rahe ho!

Indias trade deficit narrows as goods exports jump 26 per cent in August
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) India's merchandise trade deficit narrowed to $26.86 billion in August from $27.20 billion in the same month last year as the growth of exports outpaced imports for the first time, Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said on Monday. Sequentially too, the trade deficit in August was lower than the corresponding figure of close to $32 billion in July this year. Merchandise exports during August recorded a robust 26.12 per cent growth to $43.18 billion, while imports grew 14.1 per cent to $72.67 billion. Export growth was driven by engineering goods, petroleum products, chemicals and textiles, with the major demand coming from the US, EU, and BRICS economies, Agrawal said. Gold imports plummeted to $2.3 billion in August this year, which was less than half of the corresponding figure of $5.4 billion in August 2025, the figures showed. Indias current account deficit (CAD) stood at $4.2 billion in the April-June quarter (Q1) of the current financial year, holding steady at 0.5 per cent of GDP despite the rising prices of oil, LPG, and fertilisers in the global market due to the West Asia crisis, according to data released by the RBI earlier this month. The CAD in the same quarter of the previous financial year was estimated at 0.4 per cent of GDP. India has also become the fourth largest holder of foreign exchange reserves in the world after the record surge in dollar inflows triggered by the Reserve Bank of Indias (RBIs) foreign currency non-resident (bank) or FCNR(B) deposits scheme, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. With the $44.9 billion increase in its forex kitty to a record $785.7 billion during the week ended September 4, India has dislodged Russia from the fourth spot and is now ranked only behind China, Japan, and Switzerland, the data showed. The record increase in the foreign exchange reserves has taken place despite a decline in the gold reserves component by $2.59 billion to $113.81 billion during the week as gold prices fell. An increase in the foreign exchange reserves reflects strong fundamentals of the economy and gives the RBI more headroom to stabilise the rupee when it turns volatile. A strong forex kitty enables the RBI to intervene in the spot and forward currency markets by releasing more dollars to prevent the rupee from going into a free fall.

Anupama Parameswaran: Today is really all we have!
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 15 (IANS) Underlining the fact that life was short and that every moment counted, actress Anupama Parameswaran on Tuesday said that if there was one thing she had now come to understand, it was that Today is really all we have. Taking to her Instagram page to post a reel, the actress wrote, Not just a reel, An archive of memories. She further went on to add, Life is full of surprises, and with them come lessons. Some beautiful, some difficult, all leaving something behind. But if theres one thing Ive come to understand, its that life is short.Every moment counts. Every memory matters. And today is really all we have. It may be recalled that Anupama had put out a cryptic post in July this year that came under the spotlight. In it, Anupama had said that peace had found her and that she no longer needed to take any more permissions or be in fear. Taking to her Instagram page to pen the rather cryptic post that gave the impression that she was finally free from something that had been imprisoning her, the actress wrote, Sometimes, you have to let go of the dead ends to finally find your peace. And today, peace found me. She had further said, From today, I choose my voice.I choose my life. No more permissions. No more fear. Just me, finding my way back to myself and falling in love with the life I almost forgot was mine. And theres something Ive wanted to say for a very long timeSomething I wasnt allowed to say for far too long. I love you all. She wrote, Thank you for standing by me, believing in me, and filling my life with so much love. If I havent said it enough before, please know that I have always felt it. Every message, every prayer, every ounce of kindness reached me when I needed it the most. Thank you, Universe, for leading me back to myself. Anupama concluded the post saying, Heres to healing. Heres to freedom. Heres to choosing myself. And heres to a life that is finally, completely, unapologetically my own. On the work front, Anupama next has director Sampath Nandi's explosive action drama 'Bhogi' coming up for release. The makers of the film, which features actor Sharwanand in the lead, had in April this year released the look of Anupama Parameswaran as Kandula Sulochana Rani in the film. The poster released showed Anupama as a village belle, walking barefoot on a dusty rural path. Sources had disclosed to IANS that Sulochana will be a spirited person who is deeply rooted in nature.

Delhi Police busts pan-India matrimonial cyber fraud call centre in Agra; mastermind arrested
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) The Central District Cyber Police have busted an organised pan-India matrimonial cyber fraud racket being operated from a call centre in Agra under the facade of a branded matrimonial portal, shaadipartner.com, and arrested its mastermind, a practising advocate. According to the police, the syndicate targeted men seeking matrimonial alliances and used fake profiles, photographs of women sourced from the internet and staged conversations to create an impression of genuine matchmaking services. The racket operated on the principle of 'cheat small, cheat many', with the accused deliberately limiting the amount extracted from an individual victim to a maximum of Rs 15,000. The investigation began following a complaint lodged on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) by a man who alleged that he had been induced, deceived and defrauded on the false promise of being provided a matrimonial alliance through shaadipartner.com. Following the complaint, FIR No. 78/2025 was registered at Cyber Police Station, Central District, under Sections 318(4), 317(5), 61(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). According to the investigation, the syndicate had been operating the racket for around one year and systematically targeting matrimonial seekers across different parts of the country. To lure prospective victims, the fraudsters initially shared photographs of attractive women through WhatsApp. To establish trust and create the appearance of an authentic matchmaking process, they allegedly arranged telephonic conversations between the complainants and women posing as prospective brides. Once a victim developed an emotional connection or expressed genuine interest, the accused allegedly induced him to make payments at different stages. The victim was charged under various pretexts, including registration charges, profile access fees, profile activation charges and contact-unlocking fees. In the case under investigation, the complainant was allegedly defrauded of Rs 15,000. Subsequent technical investigation and analysis of the financial trail established that the entire amount allegedly defrauded from the complainant was credited directly into a current account with the Central Bank of India. The account, bearing the number 0512****190, was registered in the name of the commercial entity M/s Shaadi Partner Com. According to banking records and KYC details, Jaya Shakya alias Shashi was the sole proprietor and authorised signatory of the beneficiary account. Further analysis through the NCRP database revealed that the same bank account was linked to six complaints registered from different parts of the country. Police said the findings indicated an active and coordinated racket that primarily targeted male matrimonial seekers across India using a similar modus operandi. Acting on the information gathered during the investigation, a police team raided an illegal and fully functional tele-calling call centre operating from Property No. 25, Ramaji Dham Apartment, Sikandra, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, on September 4. Jaya Shakya, 44, who served as the operational manager and front face of the establishment, was arrested at the spot. Eight female tele-callers were also apprehended during the operation. During sustained custodial interrogation of Jaya Shakya after she was brought to Delhi, investigators uncovered the identity of the person behind the operation. Police said the call centre was financed, owned and masterminded by Amit Kumar, 29, an advocate and BA LLB graduate. According to investigators, Kumar used his knowledge of legal procedures and documentation to create a multi-layered structure aimed at shielding himself from direct scrutiny. Investigators said the banking channels and procurement of SIM cards were also structured in the name of the proprietorship firm. This ensured that any initial investigation into the financial transactions or communication channels would lead to Jaya Shakya rather than Kumar. Police alleged that Kumar presented himself as the firms 'Legal Advisor', thereby attempting to establish plausible deniability and avoid direct police scrutiny. Following the raid on September 4, Kumar switched off his mobile phones and went underground after learning that the Agra call centre had been raided by Delhi Police. The investigation team subsequently deployed technical surveillance to track his movements and zeroed in on his location in Agra. On September 8, police intercepted Kumar in the Kala Kunj area of Agra while he was travelling in a black Hyundai Creta bearing an 'Advocate' sticker on its windshields. According to the police, Kumar displayed his credentials issued by the Uttar Pradesh State Bar Council and claimed that he was merely acting as a legal counsel. However, investigators said that digital evidence gathered during the probe contradicted his claim. Police subsequently arrested Kumar on September 8. According to police, female tele-callers were recruited through vacancies advertised on recruitment platforms such as WorkIndia and Apna App, as well as through newspaper advertisements. The recruits were allegedly made to believe that they were joining a genuine matrimonial service. To establish the credibility of the operation, the accused used documents such as an MSME Udyam certificate, Uttar Pradesh Labour Department registration, a franchise agreement and Kumars Bar Council credentials. Police said these documents were shown to young employees during recruitment to convince them that the organisation was a legitimate and legally compliant matrimonial service. Investigators alleged that, over time, some of the female employees realised that they were participating in a fraudulent operation. However, the prospect of earning additional money allegedly kept them involved. According to the police, Jaya Shakya and Amit Kumar paid the tele-callers a 10 per cent incentive on every amount they successfully extracted from a victim. This was in addition to their monthly salaries of around Rs 6,000 to Rs 7,000. To make the operation appear genuine, the accused created dummy client profiles on the matrimonial website and sent screenshots to victims. These screenshots were intended to convince them that they were receiving genuine matchmaking services. When a victim requested to speak with the woman whose photograph had been shown to him, another female employee from the call centre allegedly posed as the prospective bride during conference calls. The victim was then allowed to speak with the woman for several days, creating the impression that a genuine relationship was developing. After the victim had developed an emotional connection, the alliance was rejected on various false grounds. These included claims of Manglik Dosh, family disapproval or an assertion that the woman had become engaged elsewhere. If a victim insisted on receiving more options, the tele-callers provided details of other families whose profiles were already available on the portal. By using photographs downloaded from the internet, staging conversations with women posing as prospective brides and arranging calls with people pretending to be family members, the syndicate allegedly created a convincing illusion of genuine matchmaking. Each female tele-caller had a monthly target of bringing in at least Rs 15,000 in fraudulent collections. Failure to meet the target could reportedly result in salary deductions, while repeated failure led to termination. The accused also adopted measures to prevent victims from filing police complaints. According to investigators, whenever tele-callers sensed that a suspicious or angry victim was preparing to report the matter, they would refund the money to the victim to quietly settle the issue. Police further alleged that when a victim nevertheless filed a complaint through the NCRP, the complainants action could lead to the freezing of the proprietorship firm's bank account. At that stage, Amit Kumar stepped in and used his legal credentials to handle the situation. The alleged mastermind, Amit Kumar, a resident of Sikandra, Agra, is 29 years old and is a practising advocate. Police have described him as the alleged real owner and mastermind of the fake matrimonial matchmaking call centre. Jaya Shakya, a resident of West Arjun Nagar, Agra, is 44 years old. Police have identified her as the alleged operational manager and on-paper sole proprietor of the fraudulent entity. She supervised day-to-day tele-calling operations and managed the female staff. Other accused identified by the police include Jyoti Kumari, 27, a resident of Mohalla Bichpuri Road, Agra; Karishma Sharma, 24, a resident of Shastri Puram, Agra; Rashmi, 24, a resident of Shahganj, Agra; Anshu Kumari, 32, a resident of Radhe Garden, Agra, and originally from Bhagalpur, Bihar; Meghna Parashar, 23, a resident of Agra; Padma, 26, a resident of Bodla, Agra; and Aashika, 21, a resident of Agra.

The ongoing drama in the Bigg Boss 20 house has intensified, with Mahhi Vij and Aamrapali Dubey clashing over kitchen duties. What started as a disagreement over kitchen duties soon turned into a personal exchange, with both contestants making sharp remarks about each other. The kitchen has often emerged as one of the most conflict-prone areas inside the Bigg Boss house, and the latest episode appears to be no different. As the eighth day began, conversations among the housemates about Uditi losing one of her lives in the elimination process were followed by discussions about relationships and tensions within the house. Aamrapali Dubey questions Mahhi Vij Before their confrontation, Aamrapali spoke to Love about her differences with Mahhi. She accused Mahhi of relying on her seniority instead of directly addressing issues. I have realised how Mahi doesn't have guts to clarify things. She can only use her seniority card to get the work done, but she is scared of getting called out. Apni bezzati karwane se darr ti hai. If things don't go as her wish, then she ends up gossiping and badmouthing about others. She doesn't have the guts only, Aamrapali said. Meanwhile, Mahhi was seen discussing Aamrapali and Love's friendship with Yung DSA. She questioned how close the two were and also spoke about the women being friends with Aasif. Yung, however, interrupted her and clarified that his friendships with them were not new. They have been my friends since day one and our bond is still same. Maybe you are seeing it now that is why you feel its new, but that isn't true, he told Mahhi. Mahhi and Aamrapali clash in the kitchen The disagreement between the two contestants escalated when Mahhi and Aamrapali came face-to-face in the kitchen. Aamrapali expressed her frustration about people entering the kitchen and allegedly disturbing those who were preparing food. Mahhi attempted to clarify her side, but the conversation quickly became heated. Aamrapali then told her to stay away from the kitchen while they were cooking. Mahhi walked away from the argument, saying, You don't exist to me. Aamrapali responded with a comment about Mahhi's cooking, saying, When she cooks, 16 people barely get food to eat. The argument continued even after Mahhi left the kitchen and went to the lawn, where some of her friends approached her to find out what had happened. Speaking about Aamrapali, Mahhi said, Iske muh lagungi, amma ki tarah baith gayi, kabhi idhar, kabhi udhar. Mahhi Vij breaks down after the argument Mahhi later became emotional while discussing the confrontation. She admitted that she does not know how to cook and said that she has a cook at home who handles the work for her. I don't know how to cook food, I have a cook at home who does all this for us. I'll cry for her? My foot, 2 min mein khatam kar dungi inko, Mahhi said. Aamrapali continued to express her frustration over Mahhi's presence in the kitchen and said, Ask her not to come in the kitchen to spread her negativity on our food. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) The latest confrontation has added another layer to the growing tensions inside the Bigg Boss 20 house. With both Mahhi and Aamrapali standing their ground, it remains to be seen how the other contestants respond to their growing feud and whether the disagreement spills over into the rest of the house.

She came home after six months and found something unexpected blooming in her fathers garden
A social media user shared a heartfelt reflection after returning home following almost six months away. Despite limited rains, her fathers garden was blooming, with a Raat Rani planted in a corner of their new home. She described how its tiny, fragrant flowers fill the quiet night with gentle whiffs, offering a brief escape from lifes vagaries. The moment, she said, allowed her mind to pause and make lasting memories.
Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently celebrated her traditional baby shower ceremony, known as Seemantham, with her husband and director Raj Nidimoru. The intimate ceremony comes as the couple prepare to welcome their first child in December 2026. The actor also opened up about her experience of participating in the ceremony and understanding the meaning behind the rituals. For the occasion, Samantha opted for a dark yellow and gold ethnic ensemble, which she paired with traditional jewellery and fresh flowers in her hair. Raj was also present as the couple participated in the sacred rituals together. The intimate gathering was held outdoors, with the space decorated with marigold flowers and traditional oil lamps. Among those present were close friends and members of Samanthas creative circle, including designer Shilpa Reddy and stylist Neeraja Kona. Samantha Ruth Prabhu explains the significance of the ceremony Sharing pictures from the celebration, Samantha spoke at length about her relationship with Indian traditions and how the ceremony gave her a deeper understanding of their significance. I have always had a deep respect for our traditions. I may not understand the meaning behind every ritual, but I have always believed that there is something deeper at work in the sound of a mantra, the energy created through chanting, and the careful way the ancient practices have been passed down through generations, she wrote. She further explained that the priest conducting the ceremony was a Srividya Upaasaka, who took her through the meaning behind each ritual. As the priest, a Srividya Upaasaka, began explaining each step, I slowly understood how thoughtful and meaningful the ceremony was. Every mantra had a purpose. Every offering had a meaning. Every step had its place, Samantha added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samantha (@samantharuthprabhuoffl) According to the actor, the ceremony included Kalaa Aavarana, also referred to as Sri Kalpam, a specialised ritual associated with the Srividya tradition. She explained that the ritual honours the 94 kalas of Devi through the seven chakras of the mother-to-be, with sacred water and mantras used as part of the ceremony. Samantha also highlighted the way the ritual places the mother at the centre of the ceremony, describing her as Devi and as the creator through whom new life is taking form. Samantha describes the Sri Chakra Yantram ritual The actor went on to explain another important part of the ceremony involving the Sri Chakra Yantram. Following the abhishekam, the mother-to-be is seated at its sacred centre, known as the bindu. At its centre is the bindu, a single point symbolising the source of creation and the blessings of Lalita Tripurasundari, Samantha explained. She also spoke about the recitation of the Devi Khadgamaala, during which the names of deities and divine energies associated with the nine enclosures of the Sri Chakra are chanted. The recitation symbolically moves from the outer layers towards the centre, guiding the mind inward and invoking protection and blessings, she wrote. Samantha described the experience as deeply personal, adding that she initially knew little about the ceremony but left feeling a stronger connection to the traditions and rituals. There was something incredibly powerful about sitting there, experiencing all of this while understanding what was being invoked for me and for the baby. I went in knowing almost nothing about the ceremony. I came away feeling deeply blessed and protected, she said. The actor concluded her post by expressing gratitude to Shilpa Reddy for giving her the opportunity to experience the ceremony, as well as to everyone involved in creating the sacred space. Grateful for the wisdom in the ancient traditions that surround us. Grateful for the mother I am becoming, and for the little life entrusted to me.

Not sure whether to update to iOS 27? These new iPhone features will convince you
Macworld Even if youre not getting a new iPhone 18 Pro this week, you can still make your old phone feel new again. iOS 27 is here, and the update brings a slew of new features, including the long-awaited Siri chatbot, along with a slew of AI tools across the system and first-party apps. Those averse to artificial intelligence will still appreciate the other unrelated features, design changes, and performance improvements across the board. Hesitant about updating your iPhone? Below are the top additions youre missing out on. Siris awakening Siri AI is the signature feature of iOS 27, baking advanced smarts into the operating system. You get a dedicated app to initiate and store conversations with the chatbot, with support for extensions like ChatGPT. Unlike third-party AI chatbots, however, Siri AIs responses arent limited to world knowledge and web results only. Thanks to Apples deep implementation, Siri AI can access data stored on your iPhone and respond accordingly. So, it can dig through and reference old emails, iMessages, photos, calendar events, notes, and much more. It can also analyze whats currently visible on your screen and take action inside apps. Its truly an all-encompassing AI assistant that other providers cant natively replicate on iOS. Other Siri AI perks include assistance with composing text; the chatbot can proofread, rewrite, adjust the tone, and even write from scratch in any text box if you prompt it to do so. Apps like Apple Mail and Messages also offer smart replies that adapt to your typing style and the ongoing conversation. Its worth noting that youll need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, and accessing Siri AI may require getting past a potentially lengthy waitlist in the Settings app. But itll be worth it. Siri AI is a dramatc improvement over the version we know now. Foundry AI changes the image iOS 27s AI introductions extend beyond the revamped Siri. The built-in Photos app now offers a trio of AI-powered editing tools two of which are completely new. The existing Clean Up feature now offers an advanced mode that consumes more time and energy, allowing you to conceal more complex objects. Meanwhile, the Extend perk is essentially the opposite of cropping, letting you generate relevant content outside the original photos frame. You also get the Reframe option, which tweaks the angle of the shot using AI. Ive stress tested all three of them, and they generally work reliably. Like most AI features, however, they may hallucinate and generate unpredictable results from time to time. Do note that using any of these tools will add an AI label to the photos metadataregardless of how subtle your edits areand platforms like Instagram will add an AI disclaimer accordingly. Like Siri AI, youll need at least an iPhone 15 Pro to take advantage of these new Photo features. iOS 27 includes several new photo editing tools that use AI to augment your images. Foundry Taming the wild web Safari on iOS 27 similarly adds three new core AI functionalities for the iPhone 15 Pro and later. Notify Me is a simple web crawler that scans selected sites for described changes based on a frequency of your choosing. If youre anticipating a certain update, for example, you can stop manually refreshing the relevant webpage and Safari will alert you whenever it detects it. Secondly, Safari can now automatically categorize different tabs based on their topics. You can then save generated tab groups to revisit them later. Otherwise, you can create Safari web extensions on iOS 27 by prompting the AIsparing you from hunting for niche tools on the App Store. Shortcuts for the rest of us Similar to Safari extensions, iOS 27 lets you generate automations and workflows in the Shortcuts app using text prompts. For long, the app had required users to go through a sophisticated building process, barring tech newbies from creating complex shortcuts. Now, anyone can describe the needed tools using natural language, and the AI will pick the correct actions and sequence. Shortcuts in iOS 27 is more powerful and much easier to use. Foundry Even more Intelligence iOS 27s AI features (again for iPhone 15 Pro and later) can also be encountered in more subtle parts of the system. For example, the Calendar app can now extract event details from a casual text description. Meanwhile, the Phone app will surface useful personal data when relevant calls are made, like reservations and ticket numbers. In Image Playground, you can now generate more realistic images, an upgrade from its predecessors ghastly cartoons. Solid Glass Finally something for all phones: iOS 27 addresses a common Liquid Glass complaint introduced with last years design overhaul. With the latest OS version, you can finally kill the translucency of Liquid Glass and opt for a more opaque look across the system and apps universally. All you have to do is tweak the dedicated slider found under Settings > Appearance > Liquid Glass . Liquid Glass can be as clear or opaque as you want in iOS 27. Foundry And much more Other welcome iOS 27 additions include custom pass creation in Wallet, a quick paste keyboard shortcut when copying items, the ability to save high-resolution video frames, redesigned workout summaries, independent alarm volumes , more landscape apps, extra-large widgets, and more. The update also speeds up app launching and AirDrop, extends battery life , fixes leftover bugs, and patches security vulnerabilities. To install it on an iPhone 11 or newer model, go to Settings > General > Software Update > and hit the Install Now button. Agree to the Terms of Service after reading them thoroughly, and keep your iPhone connected to a power source until the installation concludes.

Aditya Kripalanis independent film Main Actor Nahin Hoon, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Chitrangada Satarupa, is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video India. The film, which travelled from the international festival circuit to theatres before making its digital debut, is now available to a wider audience. Written and directed by Aditya Kripalani, Main Actor Nahin Hoon premiered on Amazon Prime Video India on September 9, 2026. The film had earlier begun its theatrical journey in the UK in November 2025 before releasing in Indian cinemas on May 8, 2026. Speaking about the films release on Amazon Prime Video, director Aditya Kripalani said, It feels great because Prime has a very large subscriber base, so the film is being watched.

Book highlighting PM Modi's humane side to be released on his birthday
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS) 'Modi Katha', a book highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's humane side, depicting compassion, affection, and sensitivity, will be released at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) here on September 17 to commemorate his birthday. Authored by well-known journalist, columnist and writer Harish Chandra Burnwal, the book will be formally launched by Minister of State for Law and Justice (Independent Charge) and Parliamentary Affairs, Arjun Ram Meghwal. The event will be presided over by IGNCA President Ram Bahadur Rai, with IGNCA Member Secretary Sachchidanand Joshi, Aaj Tak Senior Anchor Saeed Ansari, and Chitra Tripathi, ABP News Senior Anchor, to be present as distinguished guests. 'Modi Katha' is Barnwal's fifth book on Prime Minister Modi, which has been published by Prabhat Prakashan. It brings to the front the humane side of the Prime Minister, presented by the author through real-life events and personal recollections spanning the past 25 years. It is a collection of 10 true stories that highlight PM Modi's compassion, affection and sensitivity. The author has woven the recollections into a narrative using simple language and an emotionally evocative storytelling style, ensuring while facts satisfy the mind, stories speak directly to the heart, according to a statement. These touch upon different emotional phases of PM Modi's life, it added. One recounts a train journey in 1990, during which the selfless and warm behaviour of a young leader towards two fellow female passengers permanently changed their negative perception of politicians. Another story revolves around Jeet Bahadur, a teenager from Nepal, whom Prime Minister Modi then nurtured as an ordinary party worker and never forgot to embrace even after assuming office. The book also carries the poignant account of teacher Geetaben and visually impaired Pinkal, whose sensitive interaction eventually contributed to special provisions being made in the Union Budget for visually impaired students. The book recounts how immediate assistance was extended to save the life of innocent Taiba from Agra, as well as how PM Narendra Modi became a companion in the joys and sorrows of countless ordinary people, such as Chandrakant, a labourer from Hubballi, in Karnataka. Through these stories, the book seeks to show that the true meaning of governance is not merely policies and files, but the ability to feel the heartbeat of the person standing at the last rung of society, the statement said. At the end of every story, the author has mentioned sources, stated to dispel doubts arising from preconceived notions. Burnwal currently runs a YouTube channel that carries political analysis. Among his publications are 'Television Ki Bhasha', 'Sach Kehta Hoon', 'Modi Sutra', 'Modi Neeti', 'Lord of Records', 'Sangh Ki Ansuni Kahaniyan', 'Operation Sindoor: 100 Sarvashreshtha Kavitayen', and 'Unsung Sangh'. He has also created a vBook in collaboration with the INGCA. Additionally, he has produced more than 150 songs and devotional compositions in recent times. He has been honoured with the prestigious Bharatendu Harishchandra Award by the Union government and the Hindi Akademi Award, besides several other recognitions in the fields of journalism and literature.
