Sayani Gupta's directorial debut Aasmani has added another honour to its list, with veteran actress Revathy winning Best Actor (International Short) for her performance in the film at the International Film Festival of South Asia (IFFSA) in Toronto.

For Sayani, who wrote and directed the film, the recognition for her lead actress is a quiet validation of the choices she made behind the camera. Casting a performer of Revathy's stature in her very first outing as a director was a bold call, and the Toronto win suggests it paid off in a performance that international audiences and juries have responded to. It also rounds out a picture of a film being celebrated across categories, from Best Director and Best Child Actor to Best Short Film and now a Best Actor honour in Toronto.

Shraddha Dubey reveals escape route, admits Amir's role in Shiva Sharma murder case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) Model Shraddha Dubey, the prime accused in the murder of Shiva Sharma, has revealed details of her escape route and admitted that her boyfriend, Amir, had helped her evade the police, according to officials. During hours of interrogation, Dubey disclosed several details but remained silent on certain aspects of the case. She was subsequently sent to jail. Investigators suspect that she kept her driver, Danish, with her to prevent him from revealing her secrets. She used him as a shield and a means of facilitating her escape. In her statement to the police, Dubey admitted to travelling to Kanpur and Agra. On October 18, she reportedly visited a hotel in Kanpur to book a room. However, when the hotel staff asked her to produce identification, she left without completing the booking. Dubey feared that if her photograph went viral following the murder case, the hotel staff might recognise her and inform the police. She subsequently booked a car and left for Nagpur without staying at the hotel. She managed to evade the police for 11 days. Although she was fond of staying in large, luxurious hotels, she reportedly chose smaller hotels and lounges where identification documents were not required to avoid disclosing her identity. Dubey also travelled to Rae Bareli but could not reach her home. Fearing that she might flee abroad, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) issued a lookout circular. During interrogation, Dubey reportedly admitted that Amir had been accompanying her since Lucknow and had helped her enter Nepal through Bahraich. Following her statement, the police are likely to add Amir's name to the First Information Report (FIR). Preparations are also underway to announce a reward for information leading to his arrest. According to the DCP (Central), investigators are identifying people who allegedly helped Dubey and the other accused evade the police. Strict action will be taken against those found assisting them. Investigators have also learnt that Dubey remained in contact with several people at the locations she visited. Police suspect that someone was continuously guiding her and helping her avoid arrest. The DCP personally interrogated Dubey for hours. During questioning, she reportedly refrained from naming anyone and repeatedly complained of difficulty in breathing and speaking.

US Senators press Meta over No Kings lackout
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 23 (IANS) Five Democratic US senators have asked Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg to disclose whether the company communicated with the Trump administration about No Kings protests, following the temporary shutdown of the coalitions Instagram account during nationwide demonstrations. The senators sought answers by October 29 about the removal, the delay in restoring administrators access and safeguards against similar disruptions before election day. The letter, released on Thursday, was signed by Chris Van Hollen, Ron Wyden, Jeff Merkley, Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy. The account disruption occurred on October 17. Was the decision to remove the No Kings Coalition account made by a human or by an automated process? they asked. The lawmakers also requested records of any discussions with the administration about No Kings or other pro-democracy protests. Their letter raises questions about political influence but does not establish that the administration directed the shutdown. They challenged Metas changing explanations and asked how it would protect accounts distributing election and civic information. Meta has described the suspension as an automated enforcement error and apologised. Its communications executive Andy Stone initially attributed the action to unusually frequent posting, sharing or commenting. In a subsequent explanation, Stone said engineers had traced the trigger primarily to activity involving the reading of profiles, posts and hashtags. According to his statement, reproduced in an accessible archive of his account, a Claude tool generated bursts of requests that resembled automated bot traffic. Stone said an automated review restored the account about an hour later, but resolving administrators access took additional time. The coalitions own account of the incident distinguishes between the restoration of its publicly visible page and its organisers ability to use it. It said the account disappeared around 1:30 p.m. Eastern time during its national early-voting mobilisation. Although the page subsequently became visible, administrators remained unable to log in and publish updates for hours. On October 19, the coalition sent Zuckerberg a separate open letter seeking public answers. Its published updates show that the dispute over the shutdown preceded Thursdays congressional intervention. Metas Oversight Board also criticised the handling of the account. In an October 20 statement, its co-chairs said the companys safeguards should have caught the enforcement error and questioned why the problem had not been resolved more quickly. They urged Meta to make its election-related enforcement more transparent and consistent. The board said both excessive removal of political speech and inadequate enforcement could damage electoral integrity. It also called for automated systems to account for language, nuance and political context. The No Kings Coalition describes its events as nonpartisan efforts to increase voter participation. Its October 17 mobilisation focused on early voting, and its published organising principles call for lawful, nonviolent action and de-escalation of confrontations.

iPhone Duo Launch Begins as First Orders Reach Customers
It's already Friday, October 23 in Australia and New Zealand, which means customers who pre-ordered an iPhone Duo are beginning to receive their devices. We are seeing first impressions and early photos from actual customers on the MacRumors forums, Instagram, Reddit, and other social networks. If your iPhone Duo has been delivered, let us know what you think of it in the comments below. MacRumors reader Boardiesboi is always one of the first to get a new iPhone and share images. Priced starting at $1,999, the iPhone Duo is Apple's first foldable device, featuring a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display. Apple says retail stores in select countries will have a limited number of iPhone Duos for walk-in purchases on launch day, and it expects stock to sell out fast due to extraordinary demand. There is no Apple Store in New Zealand, so store stock in Australia will give us an idea of what in-store availability might look like worldwide. Apple Stores in the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Italy (select stores), Mexico, Macao (launch day only), Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Trkiye, and the UK will have some iPhone Duos for walk-in customers. The iPhone Duo will not be available for walk-in purchase in France, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates, so customers in those locations will need a reservation for Apple Store pickup. Apple's website advises customers to check back on Saturday, October 24 for pickup reservations. Shipping estimates for online orders slipped to January 25 shortly after pre-orders started and have stayed there since. Purchasing on launch day or getting lucky with a pickup reservation at a later date is the best chance of getting an iPhone Duo this year. It's possible some carriers and big-box stores could also have stock available on launch day. After Australia and New Zealand, sales and deliveries of the iPhone Duo will begin in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and finally, North America. Some Apple Stores worldwide are opening early at 8:00 a.m. local time.

Apple to iPhone Duo buyers: We promise your favorite apps will look great (eventually)
Macworld The early reviews of the iPhone Duo posted on Wednesday, and one common complaint is how some third-party apps look on the device. The iPhone Duo has new dimensions , and that often results in a suboptimal user experience. One reviewer went so far as to call them horrible. In these situations, apps are not yet optimized for the iPhone Duo. Apps that are made for iPhone Duo can provide quite rewarding experiences, as Apple points out in an article it released to the media on Thursday. From watching popular shows and content on the expansive inner display to multitasking across windows or playing console-quality games, developers around the world are reimagining what their apps can do, said Apple VP Susan Prescott in the press release. Netflix on the iPhone Duo. Apple Video apps are taking advantage of the bigger folding display by providing modes that work when the Duo is propped open in an L shape; the top display shows the video while the bottom can display video controls and other items, as shown on the Netflix app. The Paramount+ app does a similar thing, but the bottom display can show info on the show being watched. Sports fans can have a great time watching the game in apps made for iPhone Duo. The screen can be split so that live game coverage is streamed on one half, while the other provides a vast array of statistics, scores, and other data, as with the MLB app, which will be available on day one, in time for the World Series. Apple Productivity apps such as Bear , Fantastical , Notewise , Salesforce , Slack , Things , and Zoom take advantage of the larger inner display, and Microsoft Word and Outlook take advantage of the Duos Split View. Creative apps such as Detail , Instagram Edits , and VLLO provide an enhanced UI for video editing. Apple says apps that have been optimized will have a clear Made for iPhone Duo badge in the App Store. Of course, games provide a better experience on the Duos big screen. Game such as Asphalt Legends , Retrocade , Sneaky Sasquatch , Ungodly , Zenless Zone Zero have been optimized for the new phone. The large inner display and the sustained performance of A20 Pro let us put more of the track and every detail of our cars in front of users, so races look and feel incredible wherever they play, said Ral Orrego del Ro, of Gameloft, creator of Asphalt Legends. While Apples press release lists several more apps optimized for iPhone Duo, there are still many more that are not. Its not a new situation; when Apple introduced the iPad, iPhone 5, and iPhone X, several developers had their apps ready for the device launch, but a vast majority were not. Developers need some time to catch up, so if your favorite app looks odd on your iPhone Duo, be sure to check the App Store for updates. There could be one waiting for your Duo. Macworld will be posting an in-depth review of the iPhone Duo soon. In the meantime, check out our guide to everything you need to know about the iPhone Duo .

Actor Saqib Saleem and actress Snehil Mishra have extended their support to Bigg Boss 20 contestant Asif Khan following his heated confrontation with fellow housemate Qazi Touqeer over a remark about a heart attack. The altercation began when Qazi jokingly said, Mujhe dil ka daura aa raha hai during a conversation with Mahhi Vij after she called him boring during a nominations task. Asif, who had previously spoken about a health scare, appeared to take the remark personally, leading to an argument that escalated into a physical confrontation. Asif headbutted Qazi during the clash. Amid the backlash surrounding the incident, Saqib Saleem and Snehil Mishra took to social media to express their support for Asif. Saqib Saleem shares a supportive note for Asif Khan Saqib Saleem shared a note on social media, addressing Asif directly and expressing pride in his journey. The actor acknowledged the physical and mental challenges Asif had faced, encouraging him to remain confident despite the controversy. His note read, Asif mere bhai . We know your truth . Keep your head high . You have gone through so much in life physically n mentally to be where you are . Proud of you Snehil Mishra calls for empathy amid the controversy Actress Snehil Mishra also voiced her support for Asif through an Instagram Story. Highlighting the importance of sensitivity when discussing someone's health, she said humour should not come at the expense of another person's struggles. Her note read, You can make people laugh without making someone's health struggles the joke. Entertainment should never come at the cost of empathy.Stay strong Aasif, we're rooting for you! For the unversed, Asif appeared to connect the comment with his own past health scare. In 2025, he was hospitalised after experiencing chest pain. While the incident was widely reported as a heart attack at the time, Asif later clarified that he had experienced gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can cause symptoms resembling a heart attack, and said he was fine. The disagreement intensified as both contestants exchanged remarks, with Asif telling Qazi that he, too, could suffer a heart attack. The argument eventually turned physical when Asif headbutted Qazi. Also Read:Bigg Boss 20: Gauahar Khan, Aman Gandhi back Qazi Touqeer after Asif Khan headbutts him over heart attack comment
Despite my cooperation, Bikaner House removed all 70 photographs without explanation: Raihan Vadra
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) Artist and photographer Raihan Vadra, son of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, has said that despite his cooperation with Bikaner House, all 70 photographs from his exhibition were ordered to be removed without explanation. The controversy erupted after Raihan alleged that the Bikaner House administration ordered the removal of more than 70 photographs from his solo exhibition, 'No Idea Is Final', shortly before it was scheduled to open. Speaking exclusively to IANS, Raihan Vadra said, I think what happened was wrong. I fully cooperated with Bikaner House. I read its policy on political content and selected my photographs accordingly. We did not put up political slogans, and there were not many photographs of political leaders, he said. He added that initially he was asked to remove some photographs. I told them we would cooperate. I said they could remove four or five photographs if necessary, provided they gave us a reason, he said. However, we were not given any explanation. Instead, they asked us to remove all 70 photographs. I believe this was wrong, Raihan told IANS. He further said that public institutions like Bikaner House have a responsibility to uphold and protect freedom of expression of artists, gallery owners and others. He added that he was told that the photographs were against their policy. The photographs are also on my Instagram page. If you look at them, most feature ordinary people. They are at protests, but they are ordinary people. I also suggested that they should make their policies clearer and clarify who would decide what constitutes political content, he said. Most art is political, and if you dont agree then you should not implement such policies. I wasnt given a specific reason, he added. When asked whether he supported the protestors, he said, Yes, I attended the protest as both a participant and an artist. I support it both as an artist and as an individual. The exhibition, 'No Idea Is Final', was previewed on Wednesday and was scheduled to open on Thursday, running until Sunday. In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Raihan said the Bikaner House management had asked him to remove most of the artworks from the exhibition. The Bikaner House Management forced me to remove the bulk of the artworks displayed in my show 'No Idea Is Final,' which opened this evening at 7 p.m. The photos were of the youth protests in Delhi. Apparently, the content is 'objectionable'. They also directed me to remove two photos of the Tiranga. I refused. I will not take down a picture of the Indian flag, Vadra said.

Born in Ranchi in May 2005, Mohan honed his skills at the Ranchi Cricket Academy and went on to represent Jharkhand at the Under-16, Under-19 and Under-23 levels before making his senior debut at 20, in a Ranji Trophy game against Tamil Nadu in Coimbatore in October last year.

The recent clash between Bigg Boss 20 contestants Qazi Touqeer and Asif Khan over a heart attack remark has drawn reactions from former contestants and viewers. Gauahar Khan has questioned Asifs decision to get physical with Qazi, while evicted contestant Aman Gandhi said the controversy was taken out of proportion. The confrontation began after Qazi jokingly told Mahhi Vij that he was having a dil ka daura during a conversation following the nominations task. The remark did not sit well with Asif, who has previously spoken about his own health scare. Asif had been hospitalised in 2025 after experiencing chest pain, with initial reports describing the episode as a heart attack. He later clarified that he had suffered from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which had caused symptoms similar to a heart attack. Gauahar Khan questions Asif Khans aggression Reacting to a video from the confrontation, Gauahar Khan took issue with Asif headbutting Qazi during the argument. In an Instagram Story, she said that while contestants may get provoked during heated exchanges, physical aggression should not be justified. Gauahar said, so I havent been watching big boss in the last one week but I watch a reel. Bhai headbut karna kab se allowed hai Bigg Boss mein? Bhale he kitna hi insaan provoke kare, kuch bhi kahe. Headbutting? And why doesnt Asif get a clue? Matlab har weekend par ussey bola jaata ha ke woh kitna aggressive hai, uski language kitni matlab rude jo jaat hai. Hazaar baat bola gaya hai. She also praised Qazi for not responding to the physical aggression in the same manner. Hats off to Qazi. He didnt really react or of course woh thoda bahot prod toh karega hi kyunki ussey bhi attack kiya jaa raha hai. But headbutting someone? Not cool, she added. Aman Gandhi says Qazis remark was taken out of proportion Aman Gandhi, who was evicted from Bigg Boss 20 last week, also shared his perspective on the controversy. He defended Qazi's intent, saying he did not believe the contestant deliberately made the remark to hurt Asif. Aman said, hi, so I wanted to talk about the controversy around Qazis heart attack remark and Asif Khans reaction. as much as I know him, hes not that kind of person who will get into something like this. I am very very sure ke vo nikla muh se unke aur unko samajh bhi nahi aaya ki woh itni badi baat bani kyun. He further added, The moment he realised that Asif has a heart problem, it got triggered from there. So he apologised. For me, woh baat thodi out of proportion chali gayi. Thodi nahi, actually kaafi chali gayi. Aman also urged Asif to work on controlling his aggression, arguing that the situation could have been resolved without escalating further. Asif bhai thoda sa aggression control karo. Bahut zyada ho jaata hai. Bahut easily control ho sakti thi woh baat. Immediately apologies kar diya tha Qazi bhai ne the moment he realised, Aman added.
