GT Batter Sai Sudharsan Recovers From Rib Injury, Begins IPL 2026 Preparations Alongside Captain Gill

Miraj International Cricket Stadium: Gujarat Titans batter B Sai Sudharsan, who faced a lengthy spell on the sidelines after sustaining a right rib fracture during Tamil Nadu's Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Madhya Pradesh in Ahmedabad last December, has started his preparations for the IPL 2026 alongside skipper Shubman Gill. GT have begun their IPL 2026 preparations in full swing with a pre-season camp led by head coach Ashish Nehra and assistant coach Parthiv Patel at Miraj International Cricket Stadium in Nathdwara. Sudharsan, who has played six Tests and three ODIs for India, has fractured the anterior cortex of the seventh right rib while diving to complete a run in the match. The southpaw then checked in at the BCCIs Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, where he underwent rehab. The left-hander has formed a successful opening partnership for Gujarat Titans alongside captain Gill, making his availability crucial to the franchise's plans, especially considering he was the leading run-getter in IPL 2025. Titans had retained as many as 20 players, including Gill and Sudharsan, who played pivotal roles in guiding the team to the IPL Playoffs last season. Apart from Gill and Sudharsan, Mohammed Siraj, Washington Sundar, Prasidh Krishna, Sai Kishore, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Ishant Sharma, Jayant Yadav, Manav Suthar, Kumar Kushagra, Anuj Rawat, Gurnoor Brar, Arshad Khan and Nishant Sindhu will once again don the Titans jersey.

Mark Zuckerberg testifies in social media addiction trial that Meta just wants Instagram to be 'useful'

Mark Zuckerberg took the stand Wednesday in a high-profile jury trial over social media addiction. In an appearance that was described by NBC News as combative, the Facebook founder reportedly said that Meta's goal was to make Instagram useful not increase the time users are spending in the app. On the stand, Zuckerberg was questioned about a company document that said improving engagement was among company goals, according to CNBC . But Zuckerberg claimed that the company had made the conscious decision to move away from those goals, focusing instead on utility, according to The Associated Press . If something is valuable, people will use it more because its useful to them, he said. The trial stems from a lawsuit brought by a California woman identified as KGM in court documents. The now 20-year-old alleges that she was harmed as a child by addictive features in Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and TikTok. TikTok and Snap opted to settle before the case went to trial. Zuckerberg was also asked about previous public statements, including his remarks on Joe Rogan's podcast last year that he can't be fired by Meta's board because he controls a majority of the voting power. According to The New York Times , Zuckerberg accused the plaintiffs' lawyer of mischaracterizing his past comments more than a dozen times. Zuckerberg's appearance in court also apparently prompted the judge to warn people in the courtroom not to record the proceedings using AI glasses. As CNBC notes, members of Zuckerberg's entourage were spotted wearing Meta's smart glasses as the CEO was escorted into the courthouse. It's unclear if anyone was actually using the glasses in court, but legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff reported that the judge was particularly concerned about the possibility of jurors being recorded or subjected to facial recognition. (Meta's smart glasses do not currently have native facial recognition abilities, but recent reports suggest the company is considering adding such features.) The Los Angeles trial has been closely watched not just because it marked a rare in-court appearance for Zuckerberg. It's among the first of several cases where Meta will face allegations that its platforms have harmed children. In this case and in a separate proceeding in New Mexico, Meta's lawyers have cast doubt on the idea that social media should be considered a real addiction. Instagram chief Adam Mosseri previously testified in the same Los Angeles trial that Instagram isn't clinically addictive.

I stayed longer than I should have, holding on to hope and trying to protect what mattered most to me. In doing so, I made decisions I regret. My delay and silence contributed to a situation where an innocent person was unfairly judged and subjected to criticism she did not deserve. I take full responsibility for that, and I carry that weight with sincerity and remorse. With the grace of Allah and the guidance of my parents, I have now married Nyla. This step was taken thoughtfully and with clear intention, to build a life rooted in peace, stability, and mutual respect. Nyla has brought calm, dignity, and strength into my life, and I stand by this decision with complete conviction. Above everything else, my commitment remains to my children. Fatherhood is not defined only by provision, but by presence, love, and guidance. Despite giving my utmost, I am still unable to see them. My only wish is to be actively and meaningfully involved in their lives, for their well-being and their future.

India, UK push to operationalise FTA by April, says Commerce Secy

India and the UK are making a genuine effort to see if the bilateral free trade agreement can be operationalised in April this year, Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said on Monday. India and the UK, on July 24, 2025, signed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) under which 99 per cent of Indian exports will enter the British market at zero duty, while tariffs on British products such as cars and whisky will be reduced in India. The pact needs approval from the UK parliament before it is implemented. In India, the Union Cabinet approves such agreements. After it gets approved by the British parliament, it will be implemented on a mutually agreed date. I think both sides are working to operationalize it as fast as possible. As some stories have come in the news that it may get operationalized in April, we are making an effort towards that. But I don't know whether that is the date or it will happen beyond that. But we are trying. Our genuine effort on both sides

Carysil, known for it's Kitchen Appliances, Saves the Day for Chunky Panday on Valentine's Day

This Valentines Day, Carysil shifts the spotlight from grand gestures to the kind of love that appears in everyday moments: unplanned, imperfect, but deeply sincere. Through its latest Valentines Day campaign film featuring Chunky Panday and Bhavana Pandey, the brand brings alive the idea that intention matters more than perfection. Carysils Valentines Day campaign film celebrates imperfect but intentional love, highlighting intuitive, tech-enabled kitchen appliances built with German engineering www.instagram.com/reel/DUf9WPugR2P/?igsh=MWhnMnBlZWtvZWVmdA== At the heart of the campaign lies a moment of improvisation. Forgotten plans transform into heartfelt action, and the kitchen becomes a space of possibility rather than pressure. As the narrative unfolds, Chunky steps into the kitchen as a confident decision-maker, redefining traditional roles and expectations. The result is a warm, lived-in story that feels intimate and relatable rather than staged. The film reflects Carysils larger belief that modern kitchen appliances should feel instinctive and welcoming. When technology is designed with empathy, it does not demand expertise; it simply responds. This ease enables genuine connection to unfold naturally, allowing the kitchen to become a space defined by comfort. Carysil kitchen appliances are tech-enabled spaces where anyone can take control with confidence, says Rhea Parekh, VP, International Marketing - Carysil . With this campaign, we wanted to move away from outdated notions of who belongs in the kitchen. Mastery doesnt come from tradition or instruction. It comes from intuitive design. Our German-engineered appliances are built to feel effortless. When technology removes friction, confidence follows naturally. By placing men confidently at the centre of everyday kitchen moments - not as helpers, but as decision-makers - were reframing the kitchen as a space defined by skill enabled by technology, not by gender. By featuring Chunky and Bhavana Pandeys decades-long relationship, the campaign brings authenticity to the narrative, adding emotional credibility to its message. Their chemistry feels less like performance and more like a genuine partnership, supported quietly by appliances designed to blend seamlessly into everyday life. The campaign film has been rolled out across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, reinforcing Carysils core belief that easy, tech-enabled kitchens are made for everyone. More than a seasonal message, the campaign positions the kitchen as a space where intention, comfort, and confidence coexist - long after Valentines Day has passed. www.carysil.com .

Happy Birthday Kim Soo-Hyun: Netizens Demand Justice For Kim Sae-Ron As 'Queen Of Tears' Actor's Fan Union Donates 100M Won

It is Kim Soo-hyun's birthday today, but many fans are also remembering late actress Kim Sae-ron, whose death sent shockwaves through the K-drama industry. She was found dead at her home on February 16, on the same date as Kim Soo-hyun's birthday. Following her death, reports resurfaced alleging that Soo-hyun and Sae-ron had been in a relationship in 2015, when she was still a minor. Kim Sae-ron's family made several allegations against Soo-hyun, claiming he drove her to suicide. However, none of these claims were proven. On the occasion of Soo-hyun's birthday, his fan union reportedly donated 100 million won to the Heart Foundation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kim Soo Hyun (@soohyun_k216) According to The Chosun, a representative from Kim Soo-hyun's fan union stated, Global fans united to commemorate Kim Soo-hyuns birthday in a more meaningful way. We hope this donation becomes a source of hope for many patients undergoing treatment for heart diseases. Kim Soo-hyun turns 38 today. While many fans are celebrating the actors birthday, others continue to demand justice for Kim Sae-ron. One user tweeted, Rest in Peace, Kim Sae Ron I pray for you to get Justice. Another wrote, Today marks one year in heaven for Kim Sae Ron may she finally receive the justice she deserves. Some even called the birthday celebrations disrespectful in light of the controversy.

After her passing in 2025, her family and the Garosero Research Institute, a YouTube channel, alleged that she and Soo-hyun had been in a relationship when she was just 15 years old. Several photos and videos were circulated online to support these claims. View this post on Instagram A post shared by (@ron_sae) Kim Soo-hyun later denied the allegations that he dated Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor during a press conference. He also initiated legal action against Garosero, accusing the channel of defamation and leaking private information. As the controversy intensified, several brands began distancing themselves from the actor. Prada ended its collaboration with him, and Disney+ reportedly paused the production of Knock-Off. Since then, Kim Soo-hyun has largely stayed away from social media and public appearances, with reports suggesting he is living a low-profile life at his family home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul.

Shabana Azmi Shares Throwback Video Of Balancing Glass On Head, Says She Did It Before Bobby Deol's Jamal Kudu Went Viral

Veteran actress Shabana Azmi took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, and in the process, sparked a fun comparison with one of last years most viral film moments. Azmi recently shared a throwback video from 2018 and revealed that she had performed the now-famous glass-balancing dance years before it became a trend. On Monday (February 16), Azmi shared the clip on Instagram which shows her at a wedding function, elegantly dressed in a pastel saree paired with traditional jewellery. In the clip, she is seen effortlessly balancing a glass on her head while dancing with ease and confidence, smiling warmly and engaging with guests around her. Along with the video, the caption read, A staple dance that #Parna Patkar started and I have followed - long before Bobby Deol did his dance that went viral. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shabana Azmi (@azmishabana18) Reacting to her video, a fan wrote in the comments section, I knew it that women in India have been balancing water pots and dancing since a long time and definitely a glass is nothing for them and here you go maam showing we had fun long before men went viral for having fun. Love you. Another commented, Treaty watch. You are absolutely superb, read another comment. Azmi's video grabbed attention, especially because many fans immediately linked it to Bobby Deols much-talked-about entry sequence in Animal. In the film, Bobbys character makes a dramatic appearance while dancing to the song Jamal Kudu, balancing a glass on his head in a high-energy sequence. The intense styling and his powerful screen presence turned the moment into an instant hit on social media when Animal released. Clips of the Jamal Kudu sequence were shared online, inspiring countless reels, memes and fan recreations. The song itself saw a surge in popularity, becoming closely associated with Bobbys striking on-screen moment.

West Bengal Para Teachers Demand Higher Monthly Honorarium, Seek Dignified Pay

Kolkata: A platform of para teachers in West Bengal has urged Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to enhance their monthly honorarium at the primary and upper primary levels, citing rising living costs and financial hardship. In a letter handed over to the minister during his visit to Kolkata on February 14, Bhagirath Ghosh, convener of Parshwa Shikshak Oikyamanch, called for the introduction of a proper pay structure to enable para teachers to live with dignity in society. Ghosh said para teachers currently receive Rs 10,000 per month at the primary level and Rs 13,000 at the upper primary level under a 60:40 funding pattern between the Centre and the state. 'Mandatory To Appear In First Board Exam For Class 10 Students': CBSE On 2 Board Exams Policy This amount is very low compared to the present cost of living, he said, demanding that the honorarium be hiked to a decent limit. He said the teachers were appointed under the District Project Office of the School Education Department, Government of West Bengal, under the Samagra Shiksha Mission for elementary education through a government order dated November 16, 2010. They are engaged in government-aided and government-sponsored schools on contractual terms up to the age of 60 and are professionally qualified with B.Ed or D.El.Ed degrees, he added. The forum also demanded that the central allocation meant for para teachers be transferred directly to their bank accounts and that the honorarium system be ended. India-UK Deepen Ties In Education; British Council Announces Opening Of 8 University Campuses Alleging indifference on the part of the state government towards their financial distress, Ghosh said para teachers form the backbone of the primary education system. Meanwhile, BJP Teacher Cell joint convenor and leader of another para teachers' body, WBPTTA, Pintu Parui, said they had apprised Pradhan of their grievances during a programme in the city on Saturday and that the minister assured them he would look into the matter. Parui claimed Pradhan said it would be easier for the Centre to address the issues of para teachers if a BJP government comes to power in the state this year, accusing the ruling Trinamool Congress of non-cooperation.

O'Romeo, Tu Yaa Main Box Office Collection Day 4 Prediction: Will Both Movies Pass The Monday Test?

Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri starrer O'Romeo, and Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav starrer Tu Yaa Main clash at the box office. Both movies were released on February 13, and the former won the clash by collecting a much larger amount during the weekend. O'Romeo Box Office Collection Day 4 Prediction O'Romeo, during its first weekend, collected Rs. 30.15 crore. After a strictly decent opening, the film showed a jump on Saturday, but on Sunday, mostly due to the India vs Pakistan match, the movie showed a drop. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Free Press Journal (@freepressjournal) Now, all eyes are on Monday's collection. The film is reportedly made on a budget of Rs. 120-150 crore. So, it surely needs to collect a good amount on its fourth day, and later continue to be steady at the box office during weekdays. O'Romeo Box Office Collection Day 3: Ind Vs Pak Match Affects Shahid-Triptii Starrer; Movie Drops, Collects 9 Crore As per early estimates, we can expect O'Romeo to collect around Rs. 4-5 crore on its fourth day, which is surely not a great number. But, if there are better footfalls in the evening and night shows, the collection can be more than Rs. 5 crore. Tu Yaa Main Box Office Collection Day 4 Prediction Tu Yaa Main took a very low opening at the box office. But on Saturday, it showed an exceptional jump. However, just like O'Romeo, on Sunday, maybe due to the India vs Pakistan match, the Bejoy Nambiar directorial dropped. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Free Press Journal (@freepressjournal) In three days, it collected Rs. 2.85 crore. Now, as per early estimates, on its fourth day, the movie might collect around Rs. 30-40 lakh. However, if the footfalls are better in the evening and night shows, the collection can be more than Rs. 40 lakh. Tu Yaa Main Box Office Collection Day 3: After A Fantastic Jump On Saturday, Movie Drops On Sunday; Collects 75 Lakh According to the report, Tu Yaa Main is made on a budget of Rs. 20 crore. So, it looks difficult for the film to even surpass its budget at the box office.

Hardik Pandyas Nod To Maha Shivratri, Wears Luxurious Rudra Themed Watch During India Vs Pakistan Match

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya made a striking style statement during the high-voltage India vs Pakistan clash at the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, sporting an ultra-luxurious and spiritually inspired timepiece. Known for his luxurious collection of premium watches, Pandya chose a rare Jacob & Co creation as a tribute to the holy festival of Maha Shivratri. The cricketer was seen wearing the extremely limited Epic X Rudra Edition by Jacob & Co., a watch dedicated to Lord Shiva (Rudra), as reported by Insanely Luxurious Indians . With only 25 pieces available worldwide, the timepiece features intricate engravings of the deity along with Indian spiritual motifs. The 44mm watch comes with a skeletonised movement and incorporates symbolic elements such as the Om motif and Rudraksha-inspired artistic detailing. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Insanely Luxurious Indians (@insanelyluxuriousindians) From chanting on the field to wearing Rudra on his wrist, Pandyas gesture reflected his faith during the crucial fixture. While Pandya could not contribute with the bat, he made an early impact with the ball by dismissing Pakistans opener, Sahibzada Farhan, in the very first over, giving India a strong start. He went on to bowl an impressive spell and sealed Pakistans innings by taking the wicket of Usman Tariq in the final over. India registered a convincing 61-run victory in the match, with Ishan Kishan being named Player of the Match for his explosive knock of 77 runs off 40 balls. Pandyas performance, combined with his meaningful Maha Shivratri tribute, became a major talking point among fans on social media.

From Pilots to Impact: Pre-AI Summit Pushes Scalable AI for Indian Agriculture

MicroSave Consulting (MSC) convened a high-level pre-summit event in New Delhi focused on practical pathways to scale climate-resilient agriculture using artificial intelligence (AI) anchored in Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). The discussion brought together policymakers, development partners, technology leaders, and practitioners to move from fragmented pilots to sustained public delivery at scale. Srivalli Krishnan, Deputy Director, Agricultural Development, Gates Foundation; Kunjbihari Daga, Partner, Centre for Responsible Technologies, MSC and Gauri Bandekar, Advisor, Royal Norwegian Embassy Mitul Thapliyal, Managing Partner, MicroSave Consulting , framed climate impacts as a seasonal reality for farmers and noted that farmers often recognise changing conditions without using the vocabulary of climate change, creating a translation gap that can limit uptake of climate-focused solutions. Hemendra Mathur, Venture Partner, Bharat Innovation Fund and Co-founder, ThinkAg , emphasised that Indian agriculture is data-rich and highly complex, and that AI will deliver scale only if systems can connect across registries with compliant data sharing and privacy safeguards. C. V. Madhukar, Chief Executive Officer, Co-Develop , cautioned that not every pilot merits scale, and that responsible adoption requires clear scale criteria, federated-first data governance that avoids both silos and risky centralisation, and trust safeguards across both technology and institutions. Discussions on private-sector innovation highlighted that AI services must be built around farmer realities to be adopted and sustained. Neeraj Huddar, Product Manager and GTM Lead, Digital Public Infrastructure, Google India , emphasised that scalable AI needs shared digital rails with clear protocols, secure access, verifiable credentials, audit logs, and feedback and grievance pathways, with data quality and provenance as the most sensitive requirements. Nidhi Bhasin, Chief Executive Officer, Digital Green Trust , shared lessons from scaling voice-first farmer advisory, noting that adoption at scale depends on trust, localisation, and continuous feedback loops, especially for women farmers who face access barriers but sustain strong engagement once onboarded through trusted channels. The conversation also focused on what it takes for states to move from digitisation to AI readiness. Kirti Pandey, Country Engagement Partner, Centre for Open Societal Systems (COSS) , noted that AI readiness requires advisory and market information to be published in consistent, machine-readable formats aligned to shared protocols, so services can be integrated on common rails rather than rebuilt state by state. Jagadish Babu, Chief Operating Officer, EkStep Foundation , emphasised that institutions are the trust anchors in public systems, and that APIs are institutional commitments, requiring AI layers to fit government workflows and accountability. Navin Bhushan, Partner, MicroSave Consulting , reflected on implementation lessons from Bihar Krishi, including the importance of unifying farmer-facing services, strengthening system reliability as schemes evolve, and building institutional ownership and review mechanisms that sustain delivery beyond a single pilot cycle. In the closing session on India and the Global South, Srivalli Krishnan, Deputy Director, Agricultural Development (Asia), the Gates Foundation , emphasised AIs potential to reduce information asymmetry for small and marginal farmers by enabling voice-based access, timelier advisories, and lower-cost service delivery. She also noted that reuse and replication depend on clear value for the next adopting state or institution and on breaking data silos across departments to enable integrated services. Other participants included Siddharth Chaturvedi , Senior Program Officer, Agricultural Development (Asia), the Gates Foundation; Jatin Singh , Founder and Managing Director, Skymet Weather Services Pvt. Ltd.; Poorna Pushkala Chandrasekaran , Chief Executive Officer, Samunnati Foundation; Gauri Bandekar , Advisor, Royal Norwegian Embassy, New Delhi; Vikash Kumar Sinha , Associate Partner, Climate Change and Sustainability, MicroSave Consulting; Kunbihari Daga , Partner, Centre for Responsible Technologies, MicroSave Consulting; and Rahul Agrawal , Partner, Agriculture and Food Systems, MicroSave Consulting.

'There Was A Sense Of Responsibility': Mardaani 3 Actor Prajesh Kashyap On Pressure Of Being Compared To Tahir Raj Bhasin & Vishal Jethwa | FPJ Exclusive

Actor Prajesh Kashyap played the role of the antagonist in Mardaani 3. His performance grabbed everyone's attention in the Rani Mukerji starrer. The Free Press Journal recently interacted with Prajesh, and spoke to him about the response he has received for his performance, experience of working with Rani and more... What response are you getting for a performance in Mardani 3? I'm getting a lot of love, a lot of hate-filled love or love-filled hate. I don't know what bracket to put it in, but people are saying things like, 'We love to hate you'. It's really overwhelming. People from all over the world are writing to me, and they are being so expressive about what they thought of the character and the way they understood the character. It's absolutely amazing when your work reaches people, and they are able to interpret it and speak about it in such beautiful and articulate ways. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Prajesh Kashyap (@prajeshkashyap_) How was your experience of working with Rani Mukerji? Were you nervous while sharing screen space with her? I was, of course, very nervous, and I knew that I was getting the opportunity to work with a legend of Indian cinema. So I had to prepare myself. I had to work very hard. I had to be fully ready to do what was expected and demanded of me. And at the same time, I have faith in my ability and my confidence as an actor. It was an absolute delight to work with her. It was an experience where I had to pinch myself constantly and be like, 'this is happening', 'this is real'. She's such a joy to work with. There is so much to learn from her. It was absolutely lovely. It was, of course, a moment of being completely starstruck and in awe of her. But it was a sheer delight. It was amazing. We got along very well. We eased out very well, and a lot of that credit goes to her because she made sure that I was feeling comfortable and that we were having a good time. And at the same time, being extremely focused, dedicated and committed to our work. Rani Mukerji Poses With Vishal Jethwa & Huma Qureshi At Mardaani 3 Mumbai Screening; Rekha Holds Ahaan Panday Close A few days ago, Rekha ji saw the movie, and you shared a picture with her from the screening. How was it to meet her, and what did she say about your performance? It will be one of the most cherished experiences of my life. Rekha ji is a god. She's an icon. She's an actor, a performer and a star par excellence. She did not recognise me after the screening because my look had changed a lot. I had shaved. I was in a very different look, and I was standing very quietly in a corner. She was about to go, and she was meeting everyone very kindly and very graciously. And then she came to me, and she said, 'Rekha', and I said, 'ma'am I am Prajesh'. She was very surprised. She said, 'Oh my God'. She recognised me, and then she just said some beautiful words about my performance, which I will always keep close to my heart. She was very happy and extremely generous in her feedback. She very graciously said, let's take a picture. It's also something that I don't want to talk a lot about because I feel like it is a very personal moment. Even when I'm talking to you right now, my heart is pumping so fast. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Prajesh Kashyap (@prajeshkashyap_) Tahir Raj Bhasin in Mardaani and Vishal Jethwa in Mardaani 2 had impressed one and all. Was there any pressure of comparison while shooting for the film? I think that I would not call it pressure. But I would say there was a sense of responsibility that this is a part of a franchise that is so celebrated and loved amongst people, and has had some outstanding performances. I think both Tahir and Vishal are just absolutely incredible. So, I never really looked at it as pressure because I think that if I had thought of that pressure, I don't think I would have been able to perform. My energy and effort would have gone into the comparison, and not into giving my 200 per cent. So I was, of course, aware of it. I'm a fan of Vishal and Tahir, especially after what Vishal has done in Homebound. You were working in the content department of a brand earlier. So, how did acting happen? I have dabbled with a lot of things over the last decade. I've primarily been doing theatre for the last 10 years and professionally for the last eight years. In the meantime, I've made music, and I've done content writing. You know, because you have to keep sure that you're busy and some money is coming in, and you're occupied because acting is an uncertain job. So, this was during COVID, actually. During COVID, I had taken up a job; I was writing content, and I was enjoying it. But, I always knew in the back of my mind that I wanted to be an actor. I was waiting for the right opportunity. So, I've had many experiences. I've done a lot of different things, and that has made me the person I am. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Prajesh Kashyap (@prajeshkashyap_) That Moment Is Going To Be Close To My Heart Forever: Mardaani 3 Actress Janki Bodiwala On Winning The National Award Along With Shah Rukh Khan & Rani Mukerji | Exclusive So, how has life changed after Mardaani 3, not just on social media, but in reality? Have people started recognising you when you go out? I have been to the theatres twice. Once with my family, once with my friends, and some people recognised me, and it was absolutely lovely. Because these are people whom I have never met, and they give unconditional love and praise your work. It's almost like they accept you. You know, they make you feel like you are a part of them. So, that has happened. I was having dinner with my friends the other day at a restaurant, and there was a couple sitting next to us, and that guy was a bit confused. So, he was telling his friend 'I think this is that guy'. And then I just looked at him, and I said, 'Yes, it is me'. And then they just lost it; they were so excited. They got pictures clicked. So, it's just very special. I'm enjoying it, and I have absolutely no complaints.

O'Romeo Box Office Day 3 Prediction: Shahid Kapoor's Film Eyes 30 Crore Opening Weekend, Needs Strong Weekday Hold

The box office journey of ORomeo continues to remain steady as the crime drama heads towards the close of its opening weekend. Starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles, the film had a decent start in its first two days, collecting an estimated Rs 21.15 crore in India. On Day 3 (Sunday, February 15), early estimates suggest that ORomeo has earned around Rs6.61 crore so far, as per Sacnilk. Trade expectations indicate that the film could close its third day at approximately Rs 8 crore. If evening and night shows witness stronger footfalls, the number may even touch the Rs 10 crore mark. For now, the film is expected to wrap up its first weekend at around Rs 30 crore. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Free Press Journal (@freepressjournal) Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 7580 crore, ORomeo will need to cross the Rs 100 crore mark domestically to be declared a hit. A solid weekend total is therefore crucial, but more importantly, the film will need to maintain momentum through the weekdays. The good news for the makers is that the film has a relatively open run at the box office. Apart from a few small and mid-budget releases, there are no major big-ticket films arriving in theatres until Dhurandhar 2 hits screens, giving ORomeo breathing space to grow. Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the film marks his fourth collaboration with Shahid. Set in the gritty underbelly of Mumbai and inspired by Hussain Zaidis book Mafia Queens of Mumbai, the film blends crime, drama and romance. The ensemble cast also includes Avinash Tiwary, Farida Jalal, Hussain Dalal and Disha Patani, with special appearances by Tamannaah Bhatia and Vikrant Massey. The film has received mixed responses from critics and audiences. The Free Press Journal rated it 3.5 stars, noting, While the first half is gripping and engaging, the second half turns slightly predictable and feels stretched, especially towards the climax. The runtime could have been shorter. Some scenes are quite gory, with visible bloodshed, which may not appeal to everyone. Overall, ORomeo is a well-crafted crime drama with strong performances, memorable music, and solid action. It may not be extraordinary, but it certainly isnt disappointing either. With digital and satellite rights already sold, a portion of the films investment has reportedly been recovered. The coming weekdays will now determine whether ORomeo can convert its steady start into a successful box office run.
