Marking Friday the 13th, a day traditionally associated with superstition and bad luck, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala have announced the title of their upcoming horror film, Hero Ki Horrorine. Directed by Sajid Khan, the film is a Jai Ho Media Ventures production, presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd. and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas in 2027. Along with the title announcement, the makers have also released the first-look poster, offering a glimpse into the film's horror-driven world. The poster features a frightening female figure with long hair, dressed in a blood-red sari. Her disfigured face, white eyes, sharp teeth and claw-like fingers add to the eerie appearance. Set against a dark, smoky backdrop, the visual introduces what appears to be the central horror figure of the film. While the title plays on the idea of a heroine, the first look hints at a rather unsettling character at the heart of the story. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Balaji Motion Pictures (@balajimotionpictures) The announcement comes after a year of theatrical and television projects for Ektaa R Kapoor. Bhooth Bangla emerged as a box-office success, while The Vvaan also found an audience. On television, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 and Naagin 7 have added to Balaji's fiction slate. The production house has also been expanding its digital presence through its association with YouTube for exclusive premium shows. With Hero Ki Horrorine, Kapoor returns to the horror genre, which she has explored through projects combining supernatural elements with mainstream entertainment. Producer Amar Butala, known for backing films such as Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kesari and the critically acclaimed Mission Majnu, has joined hands with Kapoor for this theatrical project. With Sajid Khan at the helm, the film brings together the makers' experience in commercial cinema with the horror genre. The title announcement on Friday the 13th sets the tone for the film, which promises to introduce audiences to an unusual take on the idea of a heroine. Hero Ki Horrorine is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala under Jai Ho Media Ventures and presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd.

4th ODI: Henry Six-for, Youngs Century Helps New Zealand Thrash India By 244 Runs (Ld)
New Zealand: Matt Henry ripped through Indias top order with a triple-wicket maiden in the first over and finished with career-best figures of 6-27 as New Zealand thrashed the visitors by 244 runs in the fourth ODI at the Bay Oval on Friday. Chasing 334, India were bowled out for 89 in 26.4 overs, slumping to their second-heaviest defeat in ODIs. The result cuts Indias lead to 2-1 and sets the stage for a series decider at the same venue on Sunday. It proved to be a Friday the 13th to forget for the Indian batters, with only Ishan Kishan, Axar Patel and Naman Dhir reaching double figures. Earlier, Will Young cashed in on two early let-offs to hammer a 108-ball 125, while Tim Seifert struck a blazing 58 off 48 deliveries, as New Zealand posted 333 in their 50 overs. Asked to bat by skipper Shreyas Iyer, New Zealand went well past the venues average first-innings total, despite losing four wickets in the last ten overs. Youngs 125, his fifth ODI ton and first against India, was laced with 14 fours and four sixes, while Seiferts 58 was studded with six boundaries and three sixes. For India, Axar Patel, Gurnoor Brar and Auqib Nabi took two wickets each, while Arshdeep Singh and Naman Dhir had one apiece. Kuldeep Yadav, playing his first game on the tour, went wicketless by conceding 73 in eight overs. Young got New Zealand going with a boundary pristinely timed off the final ball of Arshdeeps opening over. Seifert then took charge by driving Auqib Nabi for four and dispatching the free-hit that followed a no-ball for a pulled six. The same over brought Indias first fielding lapses of the day. Rohit Sharma grassed a straightforward chance at slip off Young, and Ishan Kishan failed to hold another outside edge on the very next ball, leaving Nabi stunned. Seifert showed little mercy thereafter - lofting Gurnoor Brar for six over long-on in the pacers first over, while exchanging words with him soon after, and took 15 runs off a Nabi over before bringing up his maiden ODI half-century off 42 balls in the 10th over. He became the first New Zealand batter to reach fifty inside the opening 10 overs of an ODI against India. New Zealand were 72/0 at the end of the powerplay, but Brar had the last laugh in the 12th over when Seifert top-edged a short ball and Kishan ran to his left and dived to take a fine catch. Brars send-off was so animated that Virat Kohli had to pull him away from the batter, and umpire Chris Brown later had a word with the tall pacer. The 85-run opening stand was followed by a mini-wobble. Axar Patel had Nick Kelly stumped for four, and Nabi removed Dean Foxcroft (8) with a well-directed bouncer and fine leg caught the top-edge. Young, who reached his fifty in the 20th over, found an aggressive partner in Finn Allen. The pair added 90 runs for the fourth wicket, plundering 19 runs off Kuldeep in the 26th over that included a free-hit six. Axar broke the stand when Rohit dived to his right at short cover to send Allen back for 41. Young marched forward to bring up his century off 88 balls in the 32nd over. It was his first ODI hundred since making 107 against Pakistan at the 2025 Champions Trophy. He later survived a blow to the helmet grille while attempting a reverse-sweep, and India also lost a review against him. His innings ended when substitute fielder Kumar Kushagra held on to a catch at the second attempt when Young attempted to slog-sweep against part-time off-spinner Naman Dhir. Dhir then ran in from deep backward square leg to take a sharp catch and give Brar the wicket of Michael Bracewell (15) and leave New Zealand at 258/6. Mitchell Santner, dropped by Rohit off Dhir previously, struck the off-spinner for two sixes before Arshdeep had him caught behind for 24. Kristian Clarke (22) and Kyle Jamieson, who remained unbeaten on 19, kept the scoreboard moving until Nabi trapped Clarke lbw. The innings ended with run-outs off the last two balls, Nabi hitting the stumps directly to remove Matt Henry and Kohli combining with Kishan to run out Matthew Fisher. Indias reply, though, was over almost before they had scored a run. Rohit Sharma edged the first ball of the chase to Finn Allen after being squared up at first slip, and Virat Kohli, playing for the inward movement too late, had his stumps rattled four balls later. Stand-in captain Shreyas Iyer, the 29th man to captain India in ODIs, lasted just one delivery - trapped lbw by a sharp in-seamer after New Zealand successfully overturned an on-field not-out call. It was only the second time that Rohit and Kohli bagged ducks in the same ODI. Kyle Jamieson then had Ruturaj Gaikwad caught at second slip for five, leaving India at 9/4, matching their score at the same stage against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells in the 1983 World Cup. On that day, Kapil Dev rescued India by hitting an unbeaten 175, but here in Mount Maunganui, there was no heroic knock to rescue the visitors. Axar Patel could have fallen next ball, but Nick Kelly put down a simple chance at backward point. Axar and Kishan dug in to add 44 runs off 70 balls for the fifth wicket, before Matthew Fisher had the former at slip by Allen for 21. Henry returned for a second spell and castled Kishan on his first ball for a gritty 27. Fisher then produced a fierce bouncer, clocked at over 143kph, to have Auqib Nabi caught behind for five. Henry completed his five-wicket haul, his fourth in ODIs and second against India, when he castled Kuldeep Yadav for one. Naman Dhir offered brief entertainment, smashing Fisher for two sixes, including a thunderous pull, before holing out to extra cover for 21. Fittingly, Henry wrapped up the match by castling Gurnoor Brar for two with a full delivery that sneaked under the bat. Fisher finished with 3-31, while Jamieson conceded just 12 runs in his six overs for a scalp. But Henry, who featured in ODIs after a years absence, ensured India got a proper teaser for the Test series starting on November 19 with a deadly show at Bay Oval. Brief Scores: New Zealand 333 in 50 overs (Will Young 125, Tim Seifert 58; Axar Patel 2-39, Auqib Nabi 2-59) beat India 89 all out in 26.4 overs (Ishan Kishan 27, Naman Dhir 21; Matt Henry 6-27, Matthew Fisher 3-31) by 244 runs Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Trade deficit widens to 1-year high
Indias merchandise trade deficit widened to a one-year high of $39.88 billion in October, exceeding economists expectations as imports rose faster than exports, according to government data released on Friday.The deficit increased from $30.21 billion in September and was higher than the $33 billion recorded in October 2025. Economists had forecast the October deficit at $32.25 billion, according to a Reuters poll. Merchandise exports rose to $49.47 billion from $44.40 billion in September, while imports increased to $89.35 billion from $74.61 billion.India recorded its highest-ever monthly goods exports in October 2026, Trade Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said while releasing the trade figures.Exports rose 11.4% month-on-month, while imports jumped 19.7%. The sharp increase in inbound shipments more than offset the growth in exports, resulting in a wider trade gap.Energy costs add to import pressuresIndia, the worlds third-largest oil consumer, imports nearly 85% of its crude oil requirements. Disruptions in global energy markets linked to the conflict in West Asia have raised concerns over the countrys import bill.Higher crude prices, longer shipping routes, elevated freight charges and war-risk insurance premiums have increased costs for Indias import-dependent economy. They have also raised input costs for businesses that rely on imported energy and raw materials, potentially squeezing exporters margins.Brent crude futures have since fallen to around $92 a barrel, offering some relief to Asias third-largest economy amid hopes that the conflict will de-escalate after the Democrats won the US midterm elections.The Reserve Bank of India has previously warned that a sustained increase in energy and transportation costs could put pressure on the current account, raise input costs for domestic businesses and create second-round inflationary pressures.In September, merchandise exports grew 23.05% year-on-year to $44.40 billion, while imports increased 8.01% to $74.61 billion. The monthly trade deficit had widened from $26.86 billion in August but remained below the $33 billion recorded in September 2025.RBI flags external-sector risksIn its October policy review, the RBI projected merchandise export growth of 11.6% and import growth of 11.7% for FY27. It estimated the current account deficit at 1.2% of GDP.The central bank said strong services exports, remittance inflows and the implementation of recent trade agreements could support Indias external position. However, elevated energy prices, uncertainty over trade policies and slower global trade remain key downside risks.The RBI also projected real GDP growth of 7.1% and inflation of 5.2% for FY27. It raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% in October and shifted its monetary policy stance from neutral to calibrated tightening.The duration and extent of the rate hike cycle would be contingent on the actual growth-inflation developments and outlook, the central bank said.New trade deals to support diversificationIndia is seeking to strengthen its export prospects through new trade agreements and improved access to overseas markets.Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on November 13 that trade negotiations between India and the US were progressing, with only a few issues remaining unresolved.New Delhi has implemented trade agreements with the UK and New Zealand this year. The India-UK trade agreement came into force on July 15, while negotiations for the India-EU free trade agreement have concluded. The EU agreement is expected to be implemented early next year.The deals form part of Indias broader effort to diversify export markets and deepen its integration with global supply chains.The US remains Indias largest export destination, while China is its biggest source of imports.

Shreya Ghoshal calls Tadoba tiger sighting life-changing, says she related to tigress as a mother
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Stalwart singer Shreya Ghoshal recently experienced a close encounter with a Bengal tiger during her visit to Maharashtra's Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve.

Our guide Sandeep with his experienced eyes found him sleeping absolutely camouflaged in the tall grasses, so we waited patiently for him to emerge. Thanking her husband for the click, Shreya said, Thanks to @shiladitya for capturing the moment through his lens. His gaze every time would give me the chills. Farooq our driver was amazing, Archie was perfectly managing our familys sheer excitement of being so close to this beautiful yet fearsome animal. We also saw the beautiful Chhoti Madhu with her three cubs from so up close. I could so relate to her as a mom, she wanted to nap but still alert. No mobile phones are allowed in the park once inside the gates, and for the right reasons. I could really experience all of it with full force and felt so humbled in the beautiful jungle, surrounded by such amazing flora and fauna. The morning was cool and the wind carried the fragrance of moist earth and all the worries of life disappeared. I was also amazed at the knowledge the locals of Tadoba have of not just the animals, but also the various birds, bugs, trees, bushes. They live in harmony with nature and deeply respect their jungles. I cant even begin to share how amazing this trip was. Life changing experience at @mytadoba I will be back!

4th ODI: Young, Seifert power NZ to 333 against India
Digital Desk | Mount Maunganui, Nov 13 (IANS) Will Young cashed in on two early let-offs to hammer a 108-ball 125, while Tim Seifert struck a blazing 58 off 48 deliveries, as New Zealand posted 333 in their 50 overs against India in the fourth ODI at the Bay Oval on Friday. Asked to bat by skipper Shreyas Iyer, New Zealand went well past the venues average first-innings total, despite losing four wickets in the last ten overs. India now need to complete a stiff target if they are to secure an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-game series. Youngs 125, his fifth ODI ton and first against India, was laced with 14 fours and four sixes, while Seiferts 58 was studded with six boundaries and three sixes. For India, Axar Patel, Gurnoor Brar and Auqib Nabi took two wickets each, while Arshdeep Singh and Naman Dhir had one apiece. Kuldeep Yadav, playing his first game on the tour, went wicketless by conceding 73 in eight overs. Young got New Zealand going with a boundary pristinely timed off the final ball of Arshdeeps opening over. Seifert then took charge by driving Auqib Nabi for four and dispatching the free-hit that followed a no-ball for a pulled six. The same over brought Indias first fielding lapses of the day. Rohit Sharma grassed a straightforward chance at slip off Young, and Ishan Kishan failed to hold another outside edge on the very next ball, leaving Nabi stunned. Seifert showed little mercy thereafter, lofting Gurnoor Brar for six over long-on in the pacers first over, while exchanging words with him soon after, and took 15 runs off a Nabi's over before bringing up his maiden ODI half-century off 42 balls in the 10th over. He became the first New Zealand batter to reach fifty inside the opening 10 overs of an ODI against India. New Zealand were 72/0 at the end of the powerplay, but Brar had the last laugh in the 12th over when Seifert top-edged a short ball and Kishan ran to his left and dived to take a fine catch. Brars send-off was so animated that Virat Kohli had to pull him away from the batter, and umpire Chris Brown later had a word with the tall pacer. The 85-run opening stand was followed by a mini-wobble. Axar Patel had Nick Kelly stumped for four, and Nabi removed Dean Foxcroft (8) with a well-directed bouncer and fine leg caught the top-edge. Young, who reached his fifty in the 20th over, found an aggressive partner in Finn Allen. The pair added 90 runs for the fourth wicket, plundering 19 runs off Kuldeep in the 26th over that included a free-hit six. Axar broke the stand when Rohit dived to his right at short cover to send Allen back for 41. Young marched forward to bring up his century off 88 balls in the 32nd over. It was his first ODI hundred since making 107 against Pakistan at the 2025 Champions Trophy. He later survived a blow to the helmet grille while attempting a reverse-sweep, and India also lost a review against him. His innings ended when substitute fielder Kumar Kushagra held on to a catch at the second attempt when Young attempted to slog-sweep against part-time off-spinner Naman Dhir. Dhir then ran in from deep backward square leg to take a sharp catch and give Brar the wicket of Michael Bracewell (15) and leave New Zealand at 258/6. Mitchell Santner, dropped by Rohit off Dhir previously, struck the off-spinner for two sixes before Arshdeep had him caught behind for 24. Kristian Clarke (22) and Kyle Jamieson, who remained unbeaten on 19, kept the scoreboard moving until Nabi trapped Clarke lbw. The innings ended with run-outs off the last two balls, with Nabi hitting the stumps directly to remove Matt Henry and Kohli combining with Kishan to run out Matthew Fisher. On a pitch which is still good for batting, onus will be on Indias batters to complete the chase. Brief Scores: New Zealand 333 in 50 overs (Will Young 125, Tim Seifert 58; Axar Patel 2-39, Auqib Nabi 2-59) against India

G7 repeats US falsehoods about Cuba: Cuban Foreign Minister
Digital Desk | Havana, Nov 13 (IANS) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said on Thursday that a recent Group of Seven (G7) statement ignored the harm caused by the US embargo against Cuba, while endorsing fabricated pretexts for punishing the Caribbean country. In a post on the social media platform X, Rodriguez said the G7 foreign ministers' statement, released Wednesday after two days of talks in Paris, omits the reality of the cruel impact of the blockade, the economic war and the energy blockade imposed by the US government against Cuba. Rodriguez described US policy toward Cuba as genocidal and a flagrant, massive and systematic violation of the human rights of Cubans and the sovereignty of third countries, Xinhua News Agency reported. He recalled that on October 28, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for an end to the US embargo on Cuba, which Washington has maintained for more than six decades. Rodriguez said the international community had once again condemned the embargo at the General Assembly, while the G7 had chosen to repeat false arguments fabricated by Washington to justify the embargo. The G7 members -- Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States -- expressed concern over Cuba's profound economic crisis and humanitarian needs and called for improvements in the delivery of humanitarian aid. The statement's section on Cuba made no mention of the U.S. embargo, economic sanctions or the Trump administration's threats of military intervention. It also did not address Washington's January 29 executive order, which set out a process for imposing additional tariffs on goods from countries that supply oil to Cuba. Last week, Cuba denounced the United States over its intensified sanctions against the island, including what it described as an energy blockade, at the 30th Ibero-American Summit in Madrid, Spain. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on social media that Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez addressed the summit, held from November 4 to 5, denouncing the expanded US sanctions, which also target individuals and companies seeking to do business with Cuba. According to Diaz-Canel, Rodriguez reaffirmed Cuba's commitment to Ibero-American cooperation based on equality, sovereignty and mutual respect, and in line with the national priorities of countries in the region. In his address, Rodriguez stressed the importance of advancing joint projects, sharing knowledge and pursuing common solutions to promote sustainable development. Over the past 10 months, Rodriguez said, Cubans have endured an unprecedented tightening of the U.S. trade embargo, an energy blockade tantamount to a naval blockade, and secondary sanctions targeting individuals and organizations seeking to trade with the island. The United States has pushed its obsessive war of economic strangulation against Cuba to inhumane levels of collective punishment, the foreign minister said. He called for action, in line with the founding principles of the Ibero-American Community, to counter arbitrary sanctions and the abuse of power. Rodriguez also reiterated Cuba's commitment to strengthening Ibero-American cooperation during Honduras' tenure as the bloc's pro tempore secretariat.

Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker, and Michael Stuhlbarg appear in supporting roles. He captioned: Its been a decade since our movie ARRIVAL was released.

'I Am Made For This Stage - How Late Bloomer Nazma Khan Manifested Her Way To The Top
Inter Zonal T20 Trophy: Nazma Khans cricketing career has been one of slow, stubborn blooming. She spent six years warming the bench in Delhis age-group sides, drifted through two other states in search of regular game time, and only truly announced herself in the Delhi set-up in her late 20s. At 30, she was still waiting for a Womens Premier League (WPL) call after not finding any takers in the last two auctions. On October 28, as the WPL 2027 mini-auction played out in Kochi, Nazma was with Delhi for the Senior Womens T20 Trophy league stage when her name came, but found no interest from five franchises, even as she got a net bowling request from Gujarat Giants (GG). Actually, I saw a little bit of the starting half. After that, we had a team meeting, so I couldn't see after that. I saw it when my name came on the screen for the first time. Then after that, someone didnt raise the paddle up and I was a little disappointed. So I went back to my room. After that, I didn't see the auction. I was disappointed and I went to my room. I started talking to one of my sirs. I told him, 'Sir, I am feeling very disappointed.' So then sir was motivating me. He said, 'Koi ni Nazma. Part of life hai. Part of journey hai (No worries Nazma, it's a part of life and journey).' Ups and downs will keep happening. You have to keep going. I said yes sir. Then all of a sudden, I got a text from GG about net bowling. I was a little surprised along with the feeling of disappointment. Then I told my sir that I got a message for net bowling. Sir said, 'Haan kar do (You say yes to them).' I replied to them that I am available for net bowling, recalled Nazma to IANS, in a select virtual interaction. But in the accelerated round, Delhi Capitals signed her for Rs 10 lakh, and Nazma was overwhelmed. Then all of a sudden, the bell started ringing in my room. The room started knocking loudly. When I went there, my mates told me that my name came up. For a while, I couldn't believe that my name came up. I was surprised - it is such a feeling that at that time, I can say that I was feeling-less. I didn't know how to express this feeling. But then I started crying. I was very happy about this. Then I told my sir that finally, my name came up, she added. Jemimah Rodrigues, India batter and Delhi Capitals skipper, opened her Instagram to welcome her new team-mate, but found a message Nazma had sent nearly a year ago. I know you won't even see this message but one day i'll going to share the same platform with you and will be doing batting with you and will going to make our team win and i'll make you open your instagram to show you this message, it read. Jemimah posted a screenshot on her story: Opened Instagram just now to text Nazma and stumbled upon a message from her a year ago. One year later, the manifestation is real. Welcome to the family. DC reshared it with the caption, Reminder that manifestation works. Keep trying. Never stop believing. It will all work out in the end. Nazma had sent that message after watching Jemimah's unbeaten 127 help eventual champions India chase down 339 against Australia in the 2025 ODI World Cup semi-final. That match was so inspiring for me. Actually, I watched the whole match sitting there. The way Jemi managed the team and played a responsible inning in such a pressure situation. Australia is the best team till now and I felt the most connection when she was not able to perform in all the league matches and out of runs and little bit out of confidence. But when I saw that match, I felt that I have to do the same for my team (like how Jemimah did). Like I bat in the middle order and lower order and I feel that a player who gets the game in favour of her team and finishes the game well. So I had a feeling that I have to do something like this because I could connect with my role for that particular time period. When India won that match, I posted a story immediately on social media. I don't usually stay active on social media and then I posted a story about Jemi. Then I messaged that I also want to play on this stage. I also want to play among these players. I also want to win matches for my team and I know that I am made for this stage. So, I messaged (her) with this intention that no matter what, I will also play on this stage. One day, I will play among these players and I will also win matches for my team by playing the finishers role, she explained. The pair have since chatted and met as opponents during the Delhi-Mumbai clash in Pune. If the wait was long, the bloom has been emphatic. Nazma was the leading wicket-taker as Delhi won last seasons Senior Women's One Day Trophy, taking 24 scalps at 15.62, and topped the Inter Zonal T20 Trophy charts with 12 wickets for North Zone. With the bat, she made 106 runs at a strike rate of 120.5 in the last Senior Women's T20 Trophy and 267, including an unbeaten 126, in the 2024/25 one-day season. In August this year, Nazmas 12 wickets earned her the Purple Cap as North Delhi Strikers won the women's Delhi Premier League (DPL). Nazmas sporting roots go back to a father who played kabaddi and cricket in college. Growing up in Delhi, Nazma cycled, played football, trained with boxers and was the only girl in her block who played with the boys. After a summer camp at the National Stadium, she began as a medium-pacer at the RPCA Academy before switching to left-arm spin. Cricket scholarships carried her through her graduation and a master's degree at Gargi College. Nazma also starred in the all-India university final win over Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) in Mysuru. When neighbours asked if she earned anything, her parents simply said she played - their only condition was that she never break their trust. The road from there was anything but smooth. A move to Nagaland, as a pure batter at her father's insistence, brought her U23 and senior debut and a knock of 121 that was then the state's highest score, before a guest player registration dispute cost her a season. After a year with Uttarakhand, Nazma returned to Delhi, only to be kept out by an accident and selection calls. But watching Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah go about their business from the dugout taught her how games unfold, and Nazma gradually forced her way into the playing eleven. The inaugural women's DPL in 2024 was the turning point for Nazma. Playing in broadcast matches for the first time, with WPL scouts keeping a close watch, Nazma won the head coach's trust and places in both Delhi white-ball sides. Along the way, she has leaned on a chain of coaches, none more than Mayank Raghav, a former Ranji Trophy batter who hit 228 on debut for Manipur in 2018/19. His six-hitting clips on Instagram prompted her to send him a direct message. My cricket journey started with RPCA Academy. There, Surjeet sir and Ajay sir were present and from the start, they have always supported me a lot. Then, when I started playing my board matches, I met Dishant Yagnik sir. He was the mentor in my cricket journey. He helped me improve a lot in terms of my skills, which helped me in my batting. Then, for the past 3 years, I have been following him. I get irritated because I keep asking him the same thing repetitively. So, he has supported me a lot. Then, when my journey in DPL began, one day, I saw a video of Mayank Raghav sir of six-hitting on Instagram. Then, after DPL, I understood that, 'Nazma, thoda chakke maarna seekhna hoga (I will have to learn about how to hit sixes).' Actually, I was only able to work on video calls with Dishant Yagnik sir. So, I wanted an individual person to work with me in Delhi. When I saw his video on Instagram of six-hitting, I texted him. I texted him in my first season. I told him that I also want to learn six-hitting from him and how effortlessly you do it. When I sent him some of my videos, he told me that I was doing well. He gave me a time to meet him, wherein I met him and then, we started our sessions, she said. Raghav, who was visibly emotional on Instagram after her WPL selection, has been a huge blessing for Nazma. The most important thing is that Mayank sir is a person who gives me so much time. He puts so much effort into me. Mentally, he gives me an everyday perspective on things. Like, how a game is played. I have learnt from him how cricket actually is. I have never seen such a passionate person in my life who feels about cricket in that way. When I listen to him, see him in person, learn from him how he bats effortlessly I see it all. For the past 2-3 years, he has been working with me and I feel that if he wasn't my in-person mentor, I don't know if I would have been able to reach here. He knows me inside out and explains everything to me. But he never makes me feel that I am not the best. He always tells me that I am just about to do it and you will do it. When my auction was going on, I was talking to Mayank sir and told him that my name didn't appear. But even then, he was motivating me. I always share everything about me - even the smallest of details - and my day-to-day life with him. If I am worried about anything, whether it is cricket or off-cricket, I talk to him and feel very relaxed. I felt that I should have a mentor like him. He is a very positive person. I have started being a little positive with him. Before that, I didn't understand so much about myself. But when I started understanding about myself, he started explaining the importance of this platform to me. He told me that these days will be very valuable and you don't know when these days will come and go. So, live every day along with playing. When we were talking that day (after the WPL selection happened), it was a very emotional moment because I know that he has been a very good player in his life. He played Ranji Trophy and made 200 runs in his debut match. Sir has told me all the stories of his journey. It is very inspiring for me that I told him that I will play and fulfill your dream of playing for India. I told him that I just don't want to play. I want to stay there consistently and dominate. So, it was a very emotional moment for sir as well, elaborated Nazma. Nazma draws inspiration from Ellyse Perry's all-round commitment and keeps no pre-match rituals. At home, whenever she brings a trophy or medal back, her mother gives her a peck, then to the silverware, and places it beside the Quran Sharif. Relatives who once frowned at her wearing shorts now congratulate her, and many want their daughters to follow her path. Seeing her parents build their lives from scratch has left her with an immense sense of responsibility towards them. Nazma hopes to become an idol rather than follow one, and at 30 insists contribution, not age, is what counts in cricket. After quickly thanking well-wishers so that her silence wasn't mistaken for ego, Nazma handed her Instagram handling duties to her manager. Doing well for Delhi is Nazmas immediate priority, with the Super League stage of the Senior Womens T20 Trophy starting in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Bigger stages and brighter lights await Nazma in the months ahead. For now, she and those who have stood by her all these years can savour seeing the hard work and dedication finally pay off. Nazmas climb to the top was 12 years in the making, but it feels like this late bloomers story has only just begun. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Permanent peace requires dialogue with strong security response: Arjun Singh Raju
Ramban, Nov 12:Ramban MLA Arjun Singh Raju has strongly condemned the attack on CRPF personnel in Kashmir, expressing concern over the continued cycle of violence in Jammu and Kashmir and calling for a comprehensive approach to restore lasting peace in the region. Expressing solidarity with the injured personnel, Raju prayed for their speedy recovery and described the attack as a cowardly act aimed at disturbing peace and stability in the Valley. Three CRPF personnel were injured in the incident and are undergoing treatment. He alleged that Pakistan-sponsored terrorists and their over-ground workers continued to remain active in Kashmir and were attempting to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere in the region. He called for a strong response against those involved in terrorist activities. At the same time, Raju emphasised that the recurring incidents of violence and bloodshed must come to an end, observing that merely condemning such attacks through statements would not resolve the situation. The bloodshed has to stop somewhere. For the last 25 to 30 years, people have been witnessing the killing of security personnel and civilians. We cannot allow this cycle of violence to continue indefinitely, he said. The MLA urged the central government to conduct regular and comprehensive security reviews and strengthen coordination between security agencies and the elected government in Jammu and Kashmir. He observed that managing the security situation entirely from Delhi was difficult and stressed that the involvement of the elected government and local representatives was essential for effective coordination and a better understanding of ground realities. Advocating dialogue alongside a firm security response, Raju said that lasting peace could not be achieved through military action alone and that diplomatic efforts were equally necessary to address long-standing issues between India and Pakistan. Referring to the 1971 war, the Shimla Agreement, the Kargil conflict and the subsequent Agra Summit, he said that dialogue had remained an important means of resolving disputes even after military confrontations. Bullets may be necessary to deal with terrorism, but permanent peace requires dialogue. If we want lasting peace, we have to sit at the negotiating table and initiate a meaningful dialogue process, he said. Referring to the Pahalgam terror attack and the subsequent military response, Raju questioned whether military action alone could bring a permanent end to terrorism and recurring violence. He maintained that the issue should not be viewed through a political perspective, stressing that protecting innocent lives and ensuring lasting peace in Jammu and Kashmir should remain the priority. Calling for a two-pronged strategy, Raju urged the Centre to take firm action against terrorism while simultaneously exploring diplomatic avenues to address contentious issues with Pakistan. We do not want innocent people to continue losing their lives on our soil. There must be a decisive effort to stop this bloodshed. A strong security response and meaningful dialogue must go hand in hand if we want permanent peace, he said.

AAPs second list for Punjab polls decoded: Big reshuffle with focus on lost seats
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 13 (IANS) The Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday released its second list of 31 candidates for the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, taking its total declared nominees to 71. The list signals a major internal reset as the ruling party sharpens its strategy ahead of the polls. Of the 31 seats, 21 are constituencies that AAP had lost in the 2022 Assembly elections. Party leaders appear determined to reclaim ground in these areas by fielding a mix of new faces, local influencers and proven organisational workers. The emphasis on previously lost seats underlines AAPs intent to expand its footprint beyond the strongholds it retained in the last election. In a significant reshuffle, eight sitting MLAs have been denied tickets. The most prominent among them is Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian, who has been replaced in Lambi by his nephew Randhir Singh Dhira. Other sitting legislators dropped include former ministers Laljit Singh Bhullar and Anmol Gagan Mann, along with several other MLAs. Only two sitting MLAs from the constituencies covered in this list Saravjit Kaur Manuke (Jagraon) and Amandeep Singh Goldy Musafir (Balluana) have been renominated. The party has also fielded two sitting Members of Parliament. Sangrur MP Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer will contest from Barnala, a seat he had earlier represented as an MLA. Hoshiarpur MP Dr Raj Kumar Chabbewal has been nominated from Phagwara. Their entry into the Assembly contest reflects AAPs strategy of bringing experienced parliamentary faces into the state political battle. The standout announcement is the nomination of renowned wrestler Jaskanwar Singh Gill, popularly known as Jassa Patti, from the Patti constituency. Widely referred to as the Virat Kohli of wrestling for his dominance in traditional dangals and titles such as Rustam-e-Hind, Jassa Patti replaces sitting MLA and former minister Laljit Singh Bhullar, who is currently in jail and had announced he would not contest. The move is seen as an attempt to leverage the wrestlers strong local popularity and rural connect in Tarn Taran district. The list also features several women candidates, including Sonia Mann from Raja Sansi, Vaninder Kaur Loomba from Shutrana and others. Candidates have been distributed across Majha, Doaba and Malwa regions. With 46 seats still to be announced, the second list indicates that AAP is prioritising performance, local appeal and organisational feedback over automatic renomination of incumbents. The coming weeks will reveal how the party balances continuity with change as it prepares for a high-stakes electoral battle in Punjab.
Sonam Wangchuk claims he is under house arrest in Leh amid protests over winter polls
Digital Desk | Leh, Nov 13 (IANS) Ladakhi climate activist Sonam Wangchuk on Thursday claimed that authorities have placed him under house arrest in Leh after he and other regional representatives demanded the postponement of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) elections scheduled for December. Taking to social media platform X, Wangchuk stated that dozens of armed guards had been deployed around his residence, disputing official claims that he was merely advised to remain indoors. I AM UNDER HOUSE ARREST. Dozens of armed guards surround my house while the government version says 'I have been advised to stay at home'. All for asking uncomfortable questions like... why is the Judicial Enquiry Commission Report (of last year's killings in Leh) delayed and a phoney Council election is foisted on people with rocket speed in mid-winter, Wangchuk posted. He further alleged that the entire region of Ladakh is protesting and claimed that the reach of his X, Instagram, and YouTube accounts had been drastically suppressed. In a video message accompanying his post, Wangchuk said he and his associates had been demanding the release of the inquiry report on last year's firing in Leh, alleging the administration was trying to sidestep the issue by rushing through the council elections. Yesterday evening we were planning a dharna against this when some people calling themselves policemen came and told us we should not move out. They were wearing masks and hoodies, and they looked more like hooligans than policemen, Wangchuk alleged in the video. He added that after he told the personnel he was prepared to be arrested, they escorted him to his institute, where his residence is also located, and instructed him not to leave the premises. Dozens of policemen have been placed around to enforce my house arrest. Authorities are publicly saying that I have been advised to remain at home as a prohibitory measure. Peaceful dharnas were held yesterday, and these will continue to be held tomorrow so that our demands are accepted, he said. The administration has notified elections for eight LAHDCs, with polling scheduled for December 4. Wangchuk and local leaders have strongly opposed the winter schedule, saying extreme cold forces a large part of the population, including students, to temporarily relocate outside the region in December.
1,199 potato farmers get 52.6L relief in Prayagraj
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 13 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday participated in the Kisan Tak Bharat Agriculture Conference 2026, emphasising that agricultural development, smarter farming and farmer empowerment are essential to achieving the vision of a Viksit Bharat. Addressing agricultural scientists, entrepreneurs and farmers from across the country, PM Modi called for modernising agriculture, diversifying crops and transforming farmers into agricultural entrepreneurs. Highlighting the close connection between agriculture and India's cultural heritage, PM Modi noted that festivals such as Bihu, Pongal, Onam, Baisakhi, Sarhul and Pola reflect the country's deep-rooted agrarian traditions. He stressed that India's national development cannot be achieved without strengthening agriculture and improving farmers' incomes. The PM highlighted India's agricultural achievements over the past decade, noting that the sector recorded average annual growth of over 4 per cent for the first time in a decade since Independence. India now ranks first globally in milk, pulses, jute, rice and millet production, and second in wheat, cotton, fruits, vegetables and fish. Agricultural exports have also crossed Rs 4 lakh crore annually. Highlighting the expansion of allied agricultural sectors, PM Modi said milk production has increased by nearly 70 per cent, egg production by around 90 per cent and fish production has more than doubled. Honey production has risen from approximately 80,000 tonnes to 1.5 lakh tonnes, while horticulture output has grown from 280 million tonnes to over 350 million tonnes. Underscoring the importance of crop diversification beyond wheat, rice and sugarcane, the Prime Minister highlighted initiatives such as the PM-KUSUM Yojana, which has provided nearly 12 lakh solar pumps. He said the solar power revolution has transformed farmers from 'Annadatas' into 'Urjadatas', creating additional income opportunities alongside agricultural production. Addressing the economic impact of the ongoing war in West Asia, the Prime Minister revealed how the government protected Indian farmers and citizens from a sharp rise in international fuel prices. He said escalating tensions in the region had pushed crude oil prices from around $70 to $122 per barrel within a matter of weeks, creating pressure to increase diesel prices by at least Rs 50 per litre. However, instead of transferring the entire burden to consumers, the government limited the diesel price increase to just Rs 7 per litre while absorbing Rs 43 per litre itself. According to the Prime Minister, this support has involved an expenditure of approximately Rs 14,000 crore per month. He pointed out that several neighbouring countries had increased fuel prices by 40 to 50 per cent, whereas India took measures to shield its farmers and citizens from international market volatility. Emphasising the government's 'Lab to Land' approach, PM Modi highlighted the expansion of soil testing facilities from a few hundred in 2014 to over 8,400 laboratories, supported by more than 725 Krishi Vigyan Kendras. He also noted that free vaccination against Foot and Mouth Disease has benefited livestock belonging to more than eight crore farmers. The Prime Minister praised Namo Drone Didis for demonstrating how advanced technology can benefit rural communities through drone-based fertiliser and pesticide applications. He also highlighted opportunities in agri-engineering, artificial intelligence, sensor-based farming equipment and agricultural startups. Referring to the development of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), PM Modi said collective farming initiatives are helping small farmers access value addition, food processing and export markets. Reaffirming the government's commitment to reducing cultivation costs, he said Rs 16 lakh crore had been spent over 12 years to provide affordable fertilisers. DAP fertiliser costing around Rs 5,000 internationally is supplied to farmers at Rs 1,300, while urea costing Rs 3,000 is made available for less than Rs 300. He also highlighted measures to protect farmers from international crude oil price fluctuations, stating that the government absorbed a substantial portion of the fuel price increase rather than passing the entire burden to consumers. PM Modi called for greater collaboration among farmers, scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs to build a modern, profitable and sustainable agricultural ecosystem, reaffirming that prosperous farmers and thriving villages are fundamental to a developed India.

Chhath Puja: BJP govts in Delhi, Bihar to run 77 buses with subsidised fare
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 12 (IANS) On the occasion of Chhath Puja, the BJP-led governments in Delhi and Bihar have decided to deploy 77 buses for ferrying devotees on subsidised tickets, Delhi Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh said on Thursday. He said the initiative reflects the shared commitment of both governments to ease the festive travel rush and strengthen interstate public transport connectivity. The initial arrangement from Anand Vihar Bus Terminal includes 77 buses across five Bihar divisions: Muzaffarpur (36), Patna (13), Purnea (12), Gaya Ji (10) and Darbhanga (6), he said. To provide financial relief to passengers, subsidised festival fares are being charged across Non-AC Seater, Non-AC Sleeper, AC Seater and AC Sleeper categories, he said. Depending on the route and bus category, passengers will benefit from reductions ranging from Rs 134 to Rs 1,028, he said. For instance, the Non-AC Seater fare on the Patna-Delhi route has been reduced from Rs 1,615 to Rs 1,221, while the AC Seater fare has been brought down from Rs 1,980 to Rs 1,361, he said. Pankaj Kumar Singh said, Chhath Puja holds immense cultural and emotional significance for lakhs of people from Bihar and Poorvanchal residing in Delhi. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the Delhi government is committed to working in coordination with the Bihar Government to ensure that passengers can travel home safely and affordably. The introduction of subsidised fares and additional bus services is an important step towards making public transport more accessible during the festive season, he said in a statement. The Minister highlighted the proposed Reciprocal Transport Agreement between Delhi and Bihar, which envisages 18 interstate routes connecting Delhi with major destinations in Bihar, including Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Purnea, Araria, Kishanganj, Buxar, Nawada, Madhubani and Biharsharif. The proposed arrangement provides for bus operations in both directions, with a permit quota of 12 buses each for Delhi and Bihar on every route. Several routes will connect through major transit points in Uttar Pradesh, including Noida, Agra, Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur and Varanasi. Pankaj Kumar Singh said that passenger safety and environmental compliance have also been prioritised under the proposed agreement. Only BS-VI environment-friendly CNG buses and electric buses will be permitted. Buses will also be required to have vehicle location tracking devices and emergency buttons. The agreement further provides for mutual recognition of tickets issued in either state and stipulates that the arrangement will remain valid for 10 years subject to applicable legal provisions, he said. The Delhi Transport Minister reiterated that the initial 77-bus service is an important beginning and that its operations will be monitored to assess passenger requirements. Further routes and services will be incorporated in a phased manner to strengthen connectivity between Delhi and Bihar and provide passengers with more convenient and affordable travel options, the statement said.

In his note, Bhatt drew a parallel between Khers portrayal of B. V. Pradhan in Saaransh and his latest role as Jatayu in Ramayana. Reflecting on the actors journey over the years, the filmmaker wrote, From B. V. Pradhan in Saaransh to Jatayu in Ramayana-what a journey. The rise and the rise and the rise of you. I am so happy for you. Bhatt also recalled meeting Kher in Sweden and how the actors demeanour during the visit left an impression on him. He spoke about noticing a change in Khers confidence and the way he interacted with people, before connecting it to a pivotal moment from their first film together. He said, I loved seeing you in Sweden. That experience seems to have entered your body somehow. You look different. I saw the way you shook hands with people-your whole hand, your whole attention given to the person in front of you. You have never looked so sure of yourself, and so free of yourself. It took me back to that old woman in the park in Saaransh. Pradhan has let go of his son Ajay's ashes, and there she is, playing with the children. The way you looked at her. That was your Buddha moment. Life had struck you, and something of that moment has stayed in your eyes, your body, your heart. I saw it again in Sweden. The filmmaker further revisited the early days of their association, recalling the conversations between a young actor and a filmmaker at his Pali Hill home. He reflected on how neither could have anticipated the journey that would follow. I keep thinking of that 28-year-old actor and that 34-year-old filmmaker talking in the compound of my home in Pali Hill. What did we give each other that day? I don't know. I could never have imagined all that would follow, he went on to share. Bhatt concluded the note by expressing his happiness at seeing Kher achieve milestones that he could never have imagined for him at the time. He also highlighted how the actors journey could inspire aspiring performers from smaller towns. You make me so, so happy. I feel the happiness of someone who once held your hand and now watches you go where I could never have taken you. And somewhere, a boy from the hinterland will see you and dare to come here with his own impossible dream. What more can I ask for, Anupam? What more can I ask for?, he signed off. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anupam Kher (@anupampkher) Sharing the letter, Kher responded with a message of his own, describing Bhatts words as an extraordinary acknowledgement of his career and their long-standing relationship. He wrote, Dear Bhatt Sahab, I am the happiest man on earth today. Your message came out of the blue yesterday, and I was completely unprepared for it. I read it with a heart full of gratitude and felt deeply humbled. It was like receiving the most beautiful certificate for 42 years of workand the warmest acknowledgement from the person who first opened the doors of cinema for me. You are so much more to me than the director of my first film, Saaransh. You are my mentor, my friend and my teacher. To receive these words from one of the finest directors, writers and authors of our country means more to me than I can express. Thank you for believing in me, for seeing my journey with such generosity, and for being such an important part of my life. I will keep striving to do work that makes you proudand perhaps earn a letter like this from you every now and then. The exchange comes as Khers association with Ramayana: Part 1 The Rise of the Legend introduces him to audiences in the role of Jatayu. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film released in theatres on November 5, 2026, with Ranbir Kapoor portraying Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. Khers voice performance as the legendary bird adds another notable credit to a career that began with Saaransh in 1984. Bhatts letter, meanwhile, revisits a creative association spanning more than four decades, celebrating not just Khers latest role but also the journey that brought him here.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 12 (IANS) The makers of 'Kaali Kheti' have unveiled the gripping trailer of the upcoming psychological rural horror film. It offers a glimpse into a mysterious world where fear lurks beneath the fields. Headlined by Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar, the film promises an unconventional horror experience rooted in rural folklore, unsettling secrets and supernatural elements. The trailer introduces viewers to an eerie village where the very land that sustains life appears to hold a terrifying secret. The trailer takes viewers into a village where the fields, instead of symbolising prosperity and livelihood, become a source of fear and mystery. Moving away from conventional horror storytelling, 'Kaali Kheti' explores an unusual narrative that places agriculture and the history surrounding the land at the centre of its psychological horror. It introduces a community caught in the grip of an unsettling force, with the kheti itself appearing to possess an eerie, almost supernatural presence that influences the lives of the villagers. Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar bring intensity to their respective characters, adding depth and intrigue to the film's haunting atmosphere. Written and directed by Haris Imtiyaz Khan and produced by Sana Khan, the film also features Neha Sargam, Virendra Saxena and Shaji Choudhary in pivotal roles. Produced under the banner of BlackCanvas Studio, Kaali Kheti will release in theatres on November 20, 2026. Jackie Shroff announced the project through a post on his Instagram handle, where he shared a picture of himself planting a sapling. The post brought together his well-known passion for environmental conservation and the film's announcement. Giving it his trademark colloquial touch, the actor wrote, Bhidu log! Mein tum logon ko kab se bolta aa raha hoon Ped lagao, ped lagao! Lekin bhidu, iss baar sirf ped nahi lagane kheti bhi karni hai! Aur yeh koi aam kheti nahi yeh hai Kaali Kheti!
4th ODI: Iyer takes charge as India eye series seal against reshuffled New Zealand (Preview)
Digital Desk | Mount Maunganui, Nov 12 (IANS) Shreyas Iyer will begin his stint as Indias ODI captain in the absence of regular skipper Shubman Gill when the visitors take on New Zealand in the fourth match of the five-game series here at Bay Oval on Friday. India hold a 2-0 advantage after wins in Auckland and Wellington, with the third ODI in Hamilton washed out without a ball being bowled. A victory would give India the series with a match to spare, while New Zealand need to win both remaining games to draw the series. The match brings a fresh picture of leadership and selection for India as Gill and wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul have moved into Test preparations, leaving Iyer to lead a squad that includes Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Ishan Kishan has been named vice-captain and is among the wicketkeeping options, while Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir and Nitish Kumar Reddy provide the team management with different combinations to consider. The final two ODIs also offer opportunities for players such as Auqib Nabi and Yash Thakur to press their case. Indias two victories have come in rain-affected matches, making a complete 50-over contest a different test for the reshaped side. Kohlis 74 set up the opening win, while the bowlers took centre stage in Wellington, where Gurnoor Brar claimed four wickets as New Zealand were dismissed for 134. India will look to carry that bowling discipline into Bay Oval, but the batting order will need to adapt without Gill and Rahul. New Zealand, meanwhile, are dealing with changes on several fronts. Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips and Nathan Smith have left to prepare for the Test series, while Lockie Ferguson is unavailable with a calf injury. Blair Tickner is also ruled out of the fourth ODI under the mandatory stand-down period after being replaced due to concussion in the second match. Matt Henry is expected to return, and Finn Allen is part of the squad for the final two games. Uncapped fast bowler Brett Randell has earned a maiden call-up and is likely to make his international debut. For Mitchell Santners side, the challenge is to rebuild the batting around Will Young, Tim Seifert, Nick Kelly and Allen, while Jacob Duffy, Kyle Jamieson and Henry shoulder the bowling responsibility. The hosts have shown flashes of resistance but have not yet put together a complete performance against India. Bay Oval offers batters a chance to settle once the new-ball movement eases, although seamers can remain influential early on. With the series still carrying significance for New Zealands pride and Indias new-look leadership group, Fridays contest will test how quickly both teams can adjust to their altered resources. When: November 13, Friday, 7:30 AM IST Where: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Where to watch: The match will be shown live on the Sony Sports Network channels on TV, and live streaming is available on the Sony LIV app and website. Squads: New Zealand: Mitchell Santner (c), Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, Kristian Clarke, Jacob Duffy, Matt Fisher, Dean Foxcroft, Mitch Hay, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Nick Kelly, Brett Randell, Tim Seifert, Will Young India: Shreyas Iyer (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (vc, wk), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (wk), Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav

Shah Rukh Khan gets emotional about owning a house, reveals even Mannat was beyond his means
Shah Rukh Khan recently opened up about his emotional connection with owning a home and recalled how he did not have a house of his own before marrying Gauri Khan. The actor, who attended an event in Dubai for Shahrukhz Residences by Danube, spoke about how having a home has always been one of his biggest dreams. He also revealed that even his iconic Mumbai residence, Mannat, was once beyond what he could afford. The event was hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar and also saw Gauri Khan, an interior designer, in attendance. During his interaction, Shah Rukh spoke about losing his parents at a young age and how not having a permanent home influenced his desire to own a house. He shared that his love for homes is so strong that he often imagines buying properties whenever he visits a new city. Speaking about his attachment to owning a house, the actor said, Of course I love my family and my work but the only thing I love more than anything else in the world is to have a house. So my children make fun of me. Whenever we are driving through a new city and I like it, I tell them we need to buy a house here. They make fun of me saying one cannot have a house in every city. But I am fortunate. I didn't have my own home until I got married to Gauri. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) Shah Rukh further explained how a home provides comfort and emotional strength, particularly during challenging phases of life. He encouraged people to remain hopeful and work towards their dreams, even when achieving them seems difficult. Recalling the journey of purchasing his properties with Gauri, he said, There are good days, bad days, some wonderful days and some very depressing days. When you finally come knocking, you need to come back to your own home because you regenerate there, you figure things out and go back to face the harsh realities of the world. The first house that Gauri and I bought was beyond our means; the last house, Mannat, that we bought was also beyond our means. But I want to tell everyone that when you want to buy your dream house, Allah helps you; God helps you. If you pray to God for a house, you'll get the most beautiful house in your life because the Almighty will always give you the house of your dreams. Just trust in yourself and the God. The event also featured a lighter side of the superstar, as he recreated some of his popular dialogues from Raees and Om Shanti Om.

Bigg Boss 20 has been witnessing heated arguments and growing tensions among contestants. However, the latest controversy has extended beyond the show's contestants, leaving television actor Jay Bhanushali upset. Jay has expressed his disappointment after his and Mahhi Vij's seven-year-old daughter, Tara, was brought into a discussion during a captaincy task. Following the incident, the actor has announced that he will no longer allow his children to watch the reality show. The latest promo of Bigg Boss 20 showed contestants Yung DSA, Kanika Mann and others targeting Mahhi Vij in an attempt to provoke a reaction from her during the captaincy task. However, the situation took an uncomfortable turn when the conversation involved Jay and Mahhi's daughter. This did not go down well with Jay, who took to Instagram to express his displeasure. Sharing a picture of Mahhi with their children, Tara, Khushi and Rajveer, Jay penned a detailed note explaining his stand on the matter. He began by stating that the incident had changed his perspective as a father. After witnessing everything on Bigg Boss, I have made one decision as a father: I will not let my children watch Bigg Boss anymore. I had decided that I will never speak about anyones gameplay or give my opinion about any particular contestant and support Mahhi wherever I am needed, he wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jay Bhanushali (@ijaybhanushali) However, Jay went on to specifically address the remarks made by Yung DSA, Kanika Mann and Love Gill's mother, expressing concern over the involvement of a young child in the contestants' disagreements. JUST FOR A TASK Yung DSA talking about my children growing up and feeling ashamed of their mothers actions, Kanika saying she would never want to meet Mahhis children, and Love Gills mother bringing my daughter into the conversation by questioning how she would feel if someone said something similar about her daughter. Tara is a 7-year-old baby. She is not a contestant of Bigg Boss. Getting a child to put someone down is absolutely nonsense. Honestly, why are our children being dragged into something they have absolutely no connection with? Bigg Boss is a game. Disagree with Mahhi, question her gameplay and challenge her decisions, but bringing her children, motherhood and personal life into it is crossing a boundary, Jay added. Emphasising that his children's well-being would remain his priority, As a father, I dont want my children growing up with a trauma that Taras name is used in every sentence to put Mahhi down. The game may be entertainment for everyone, but for us, this is personal. My childrens peace and innocence will always come first. Thank you. Goodbye, BIGG BOSS 20, he concluded. For the uninitiated, Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij announced their separation in January 2026 after spending several years together. In their joint statement, the former couple had shared that they had decided to take separate paths while continuing to support each other. Despite their separation, Jay's latest statement makes it clear that their children's well-being remains a priority.
