Ayurvedic herb garden inaugurated at Mahatma Gandhi
A garden of traditional Ayurvedic herbs has been inaugurated at Phoenix Settlement in Durban, South Africa, a historic site established by Mahatma Gandhi in 1904 during his early years as a lawyer in the country. The inauguration took place on Sunday (11) and coincided with the India-South Africa Traditional Medicines Symposium and Exhibition. The event was jointly organised by the Consulate General of India in Durban and the Commission for Religious and Linguistic Rights, with support from Indias Ministry of Ayush. Work on the herbal garden began around 2 October, marking Gandhis birth anniversary, before culminating in its inauguration nine days later. The settlement continues to support community development projects under the Phoenix Settlement Trust, which is headed by Gandhis granddaughter, Ela Gandhi. A garden inspired by Gandhis ideas The new garden brings traditional medicinal herbs to a site associated with Gandhis ideas on health, sustainability and community living. Consul General of India in Durban, Neetin Subash Yeola, highlighted the continuing relevance of Gandhis approach to environmental protection and sustainable development. Gandhiji's ideas of sustainable growth and environmental protection are of immense significance today as the world prepares for Climate Action, Yeola said. The initiative also reflects the historical relationship between the settlement and self-sufficient living. During Gandhis time there, he and his followers grew their own fruits, vegetables and herbs. The addition of an Ayurvedic herb garden builds on that tradition while introducing a space dedicated to traditional medicinal plants and their place in community well-being. Community welcomes a new healing garden Asha Ramgobin, Ela Gandhis daughter and a board member of the Phoenix Settlement Trust, said the local community had welcomed the development. She said there was considerable excitement among people using the settlements facilities about the addition of a garden focused on healing. In the spirit of Gandhiji's ideas on health and well-being, the Gandhi Development Trust and the Phoenix Settlement Trust, in partnership with the Consul General of India in Durban, opened this Ayurvedic and traditional medicinal herb garden, Ramgobin said. The project brings together the Gandhi Development Trust, the Phoenix Settlement Trust and the Indian consulate, highlighting cooperation between community organisations and Indian representatives in South Africa. Preserving the legacy of Phoenix settlement Founded in 1904, Phoenix Settlement was an important part of Gandhis life and the development of his philosophy. It was here that he developed ideas associated with Satyagraha, or the power of truth; Sarvodaya, meaning service to all; and Ahimsa, the principle of non-violence. The settlements history of growing food and herbs reflected an emphasis on self-reliance and living in closer connection with the environment. The new garden adds another dimension to the sites community work, bringing traditional Ayurvedic plants into a setting shaped by Gandhis legacy. Its inauguration also formed part of wider India-South Africa engagement on traditional medicine, connecting cultural heritage, community development and discussions about health and well-being.

Salman Khan is set to return to the couch of Koffee With Karan for its ninth season, hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar. The upcoming season is expected to be the final instalment of the celebrity chat show, and Salmans appearance promises to bring back memories of some of his earlier conversations with the host. In the newly released promo, Karan revisits one of the actors most talked-about moments from his first appearance on the show. Salman made his debut on Koffee With Karan in Season 4 and later appeared on the shows 100th episode in Season 5 alongside his brothers, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan. His upcoming appearance will mark his third time on the show. Ahead of the first episodes premiere on Wednesday, Karan shared a promo offering a glimpse into his conversation with Salman. In one of the exchanges, the filmmaker brings up the actors famous confession from his debut appearance, when Salman claimed that he was a virgin and had saved himself for his future. Revisiting the moment, Karan asks Salman, Are you still a virgin?, prompting the actor to respond, Control yaar, brother. His response leaves Karan laughing and brings the conversation back to the exchange that had caught viewers attention during Salmans earlier appearance. The promo also features a conversation about Karans announcement that this would be the shows final season. Salman questions whether the filmmaker is misleading guests by inviting them onto the show while saying that he will not return. Karan replies, I promise you, I am not coming back. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Karan Johar (@karanjohar) Salman then responds with, Tussi na jao, referencing the memorable dialogue from Karans 1998 directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The film starred Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, with Salman making a special appearance. In another part of the conversation, Karan observes that Salman appears more composed than before. The actor responds, All the advice that I've given, there has come a time for me to follow my own advice. Karan also brings up Salmans remarks about online trolling and the growing presence of paparazzi, subjects the actor addressed on Bigg Boss 20 last month. The promo ends with another light-hearted exchange about the shows coveted hamper. When Karan reminds Salman that he will have to compete for it, the actor clarifies that he would be willing to fight to get pampered, but not for the hamper. The exchange offers a glimpse of the banter viewers can expect from Salman and Karan as the show returns for its ninth season.

Rahul, Batman And The Battle For Gen Z Space; Is India Ready For Superhero Politics?
Rahul Gandhis Batman rebrand has moved from meme culture to political theatre. The joke began during an Instagram interaction, when he said nobody had seen him and Batman in the same room. Congress turned the line into posters and edited videos. Then came the spectacle: during an Opposition march in Delhi, young protesters handed Batman masks to Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge inside a bus. The protest targeted Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the electoral-roll revision debate. The image travelled fast. The politics behind it was serious. The branding was not. Supporters saw humour and youth connect. Critics saw a gimmick. Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary compared the scene with Gotham and questioned superhero politics in Delhi. The larger test is Gen Z. Young voters understand irony, memes and pop culture. They recognise forced relatability. A Batman mask can attract attention. It cannot replace organisation, credibility, policy or sustained political work.
Aksharaa Haasan: Grateful to be born to my parents!
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 13 (IANS) Actress Aksharaa Haasan, who is the younger daughter of actor and politician Kamal Haasan and his wife Sarika, has now shared some rare pictures of her parents holding her as a child and expressed gratitude for having been born to them. Taking to her Instagram page to share the rare black and white pictures in which she is seen in the arms of her parents, Aksharaa Haasan wrote, Over the years these pictures are one of the best gifts I could have ever received. She went on to say, Thank you to Shyam Tekwani uncle for taking these precious pictures. Grateful to be born to my parents. @actor_sarika @ikamalhaasan So proud of my legacy. Made me! Strength is a feeling and not just genes. On the work front, Akshara Haasan was last seen in the film Simulacra. The actress had said that her role in the film had demanded a different level of maturity from her. She had also said that the role had allowed her to explore a different side of her as an actor. For the unaware, Akshara Haasan had played a character called Nivi in the film. Talking about her role, Akshara Haasan had said, Nivi is a very different character that Ive played. This time I feel it required a different maturity level as a person and therefore a character. With how layered the story is, I discovered a side of me as an actor and got to explore emotions and complexities of emotions colliding. It challenged me as an actor. I truly enjoyed performing the character Nivi. The film was set in an imminent near-future where human lives are governed by neural brain chips. Simulacra explored a world where tech giants allowed people to tailor, rewrite, or completely erase their personal memories. The plot followed two pedestrians, Nayan (played by Satyajeet Dubey) and Nivi (played by Akshara Haasan), who cross paths in a society increasingly reliant on trans-humanism.

Yoodlee Films has announced Party Animals, an upcoming Hindi comedy that brings friendship, questionable decisions and a night of escalating chaos to the big screen. Starring Viraj Ghelani and Arjun Tanwar, the film is set against the backdrop of a New Years Eve party in Mumbai, where a seemingly ordinary night out takes a series of unexpected turns. The film is scheduled to release in cinemas on November 20, 2026. Set in Mumbai, Party Animals follows Mann Patel (Viraj Ghelani) and Armaan Khanna (Arjun Tanwar), childhood best friends whose lives have taken different paths. Their reunion sets off a chain of events involving romantic complications, petty disagreements that escalate into full-blown raadas and attempts to resolve problems that only create more trouble. With cops, goons, a party bus and even a drunk horse thrown into the mix, the film promises a comedy built around a night that spirals out of control. The makers draw inspiration from Hollywood comedies such as The Hangover, Superbad and 21 Jump Street, bringing the spirit of friendship-driven humour and increasingly chaotic situations to an Indian setting. The film explores themes of FOMO, growing up and the poor decisions that can accompany the freedom of adulthood, with its ensemble of characters navigating the consequences of their choices. Speaking about the project, Viraj Ghelani said, Party Animals is a one of a kind movie. Its a full-on masti film, and Im really excited for audiences to experience it. Its packed with friendship, madness and situations that just keep getting crazier. Theres so much energy and relatability in this world, and I cant wait for everyone to watch it on the big screen. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Yoodlee Films (@yoodleefilms) Siddharth Anand Kumar, who is producing the film alongside Vikram Mehra, added, With Party Animals, we wanted to have some fun with the idea of what a film is supposed to be and how it is supposed to talk about itself. The film is unapologetically chaotic, irreverent and very much in on the joke. Were not going to pretend that every decision these characters make is a good one. In fact, the worse their decisions get, the more fun things become. Sometimes, you just have to let the madness do its thing. Directed by Ravi Chhabriya, Party Animals is produced by Vikram Mehra and Siddharth Anand Kumar under the Yoodlee Films banner. The film is written by Ali Haji, Khush Mullick and Veer Panchal. The ensemble cast also includes Pragati Nagpal, Naqiyah Haji, Alam Khan, Saqib Ayub, Kamlesh Sawant, Anil Charanjeett, Aaron Koul, Vijay Patkar and Manoj Joshi. Party Animals will arrive in cinemas on November 20, 2026. Also Read: Viraj Ghelani to tie the knot with longtime girlfriend Palak Khimavat in Mumbai on December 12

Ugreen MagFlow Pro 3-in-1 25W review: Fast charging with a cooling fan
Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros Up to 25W Qi2 iPhone charging Charges iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods Active cooling with manual fan control Adjustable charging pads and informative display Includes 45W power adapter Cons Audible fan may disturb light sleepers Expensive compared with basic 3-in-1 chargers No additional USB-C charging port Our Verdict This is a good-looking 3-in-1 charging stand for your iPhone, Watch, and AirPods case. For each device, its as fast as they come, and an (albeit audible) cooling fan can be switched on for the speediest charging results. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed $159.99 Best Prices Today: Ugreen MagFlow Pro Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand (3-in-1, Qi2 25W) Retailer Price $129.99 View Deal $159.99 View Deal Ugreen $159.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide What is it? A premium 3-in-1 Qi2 wireless charging stand with active cooling and a built-in power display. Who is it best for? iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods owners who want a stylish desktop charger with fast wireless charging and detailed power information. Who should skip it? Light sleepers, frequent travelers and users who dont need active cooling or a charging display. Ugreens MagFlow Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand 25W looks different to most wireless charging stands on the market. Its not a classic charging tree design like the Anker Prime 3-in-1 MagGo Charging Station or Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Charging Stand , nor a squat stand, flat pod, or cube. It closely resembles a modern-day reimagining of the old-style Shure Elvis microphone, with its large silver circular iPhone-charging module ringed with air vents on the sides and a large fan at the rear. Its not shy of being a statement piece on your desk or nightstand, or frightened to show off its iPhone cooling tech. The iPhone charging module can tilt more than 90 degrees. The Watch module can lie flat or be raised for Nightstand Mode. How fast does the MagFlow Pro charge each device? iPhone: up to 25W (iPhone 16 and later); 15W (earlier iPhones) Apple Watch: 5W AirPods case: 5W Those specs mean it should fast-charge each device, although speeds will decrease when all three are used simultaneouslywith a maximum output of 32.5W. It ships with its own 45W wall charger so is well covered by that. Although the MagFlow Pro 3-in-1 doesnt include a spare USB-C port itselflook to Mophies StealthCharge 4-in-1 Charging Stand for extra ports and cablesyou could simply use the Ugreen wall charger for your MacBook, although not as speedily as the iPhone, Watch, or AirPods. If 25W charging can be sustained, an iPhone could reach 50% in around 30 minutes; 45 minutes at 15W. An Apple Watch, such as the Series 11, should charge from 0-50% in about 20 minutes. (We use the 0-50% measurement as batteries charge slower as they get fuller, so the first 50% of a charge is the best comparison when testing different units.) Simon Jary How does the MagFlow Pro stay cool? All that high-powered charging generates heat, especially for the iPhone that can reach 25W for iPhones 16 and later (15W for earlier iPhones). Most gadgets dont like hot temperatures that can damage battery life and the iPhone has built-in safeguards that throttle the incoming power if it feels that its getting too warm. That means the 25W might be slowed to 15W or less, and even turned off until the phone cools down by itself. To reduce the threat of the iPhone dialling back the power and therefore the charging speed, Ugreen employs active cooling via the built-in fan. Ugreen calls the 15dB fan ultra quiet but you can hear it humming with a rushing wind sound. True, its nothing like setting off a hair dryer but its definitely audible. When youre not in a rush to charge your iPhone, you can turn the cooling fan off with one of the easy-access side buttons (see below). This is certainly recommended if charging by your bedside at night, unless youre a white-noise enthusiast. Charging overnight doesnt require the highest speed anyway, so theres no need for the fan as the iPhone will take in power as it feels fit while you sleep or while youre working at your desk. But you can turn on the cooling blaster when youre in a real hurry for power. Simon Jary What does the MagFlows display show? Theres a trend for chargers and charging stands to include a real-time display, and the MagFlow Pros display is on the front of the arm that suspends the iPhone charger. The TFT display shows charging wattage for each device, charging surface temperature, and cooling mode. Along the side of the arm are two buttons that you use to switch off the charger and its cooling mode, plus switch from one info-screen to another. Im not sure many people other than gadget geeks and tech reviewersquite the Venn diagramare going to pay much attention to such in-depth charging data, but its handy if youre a power data control freak. The MagFlow Pros Apple Watch charging module can lay flat when not in use, and be raised to work in Nightstand Mode. Simon Jary Whats it like to use every day? The MagFlow Pro 3-in-1 Charging Stand is an attractiveelevatedchargingstandforadeskornightstand with tilting iPhone-charging pad, a non-slip AirPods case charging module at the front, and an adjustable Apple Watch charger sat at the back. It has a small footprint, with a 4.6-inch (117mm) base diameter. It weighs 19.1oz (541g). Charging stands require a decent heft to stay stable. If you want a more portable 3-in-1 travel charger, consider the Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Folding Wireless Charging Station , Kuxiu X40 Turbo 25W Wireless Charging Stand , or ESR CryoBoost Foldable 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station .

The Ugreen MagFlow Pro is an attractive, well-built charging stand that brings together fast Qi2 wireless charging, adjustable iPhone and Apple Watch charging pads, and a useful display showing real-time power consumption and temperature. Its standout feature is the built-in cooling fan, designed to help prevent heat from slowing iPhone charging. However, the fan is noticeably audible, which makes the MagFlow Pro better suited to a desk than a quiet bedside table. At $159.95/119.99, its a premium option, and cheaper 3-in-1 chargers will meet the needs of users who simply want to charge their Apple devices overnight. But if you value its distinctive design, cooling system and detailed charging information, the MagFlow Pro has plenty to offer.

Mohanlal reviews Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam The Conclusion; Star Studios thanks him
Mohanlal has shared his reaction to Ajay Devgn-starrer Drishyam The Conclusion, praising the film for bringing the much-loved Hindi thriller franchise to what he described as a befitting end. The Malayalam superstar, who played Georgekutty in the original Drishyam films, took to social media to share his appreciation for the third instalment of the Hindi franchise, which arrived in theatres on October 2. In a video message, Mohanlal revealed that he had watched the film and congratulated the team for their work on the concluding chapter. He said, I watched Drishyam The Conclusion. And I am truly impressed with the way they have brough t this much loved journey to a befitting end. Congratulations to Abhishek Pathak, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Ajay Devgn and the entire cast & crew on a job so well done. Star Studios, the production banner associated with the film, reshared Mohanlals video on its official social media handles and thanked the actor for his appreciation. The note read, Thank you so much for your kind appreciation, Mohanlal Sir ????#Lalettan @mohanlal. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Star Studio18 (@starstudio18) The Drishyam franchise originated in Malayalam cinema with the 2013 film directed by Jeethu Joseph and starring Mohanlal as Georgekutty. Its success led to remakes in several Indian languages, including Hindi, where Ajay Devgn took on the role of Vijay Salgaonkar. The Hindi adaptations went on to establish a strong following of their own, with audiences drawn to the franchises suspense-driven storytelling and its central family drama. However, the Hindi third instalment takes a different route from its Malayalam counterpart. While the original Malayalam franchise continued its story with a third film earlier this year, the Hindi version was conceived as a definitive conclusion. Directed by Abhishek Pathak and produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak, Drishyam The Conclusion brings Vijay Salgaonkars battle to protect his family to a close rather than following the narrative direction of the Malayalam film. The Hindi film opened in theatres over the Gandhi Jayanti festive period and benefited from the franchises established audience, positive word-of-mouth and sustained theatrical interest. Its run further reinforced the popularity of the suspense-thriller series among Hindi film audiences. Mohanlals appreciation adds a notable endorsement from the actor who first brought the character of Georgekutty to life, acknowledging the Hindi teams decision to give Vijay Salgaonkars story its own ending.

The makers of Aaj Ka Mahishasur have unveiled the films first look and devotional song, 'Jagdambe Rani,' on the occasion of Navratri. The team also visited Mumbais Mumba Devi Temple to seek blessings and present the films poster at the temple. Directed by Dhiraj Kumarr and produced by Gaurang Bhaskar, the film features Terence Lewis, Padmini Kolhapure, Chandan Roy and Ayeesha Aiman. The project marks Terences debut as a film actor, adding another chapter to his career in the entertainment industry. Terence Lewis on making his film debut Speaking about his association with the film, Terence said its subject and the questions it raises about society were among the reasons he chose the project. The film draws on the symbolism of Mahishasur to explore the evils that persist in contemporary society. Making my film debut with Aaj Ka Mahishasur is a very special experience for me. What drew me to this film is its intriguing and thought-provoking story. It goes beyond what we traditionally associate with Mahishasur and explores the harsh realities of the society we live in today, he said. He further explained that the story also examines the problems people may overlook within themselves. There are evils around us, but there are also those within us that we often choose to ignore. Being part of a story that has something meaningful to say makes this debut even more special for me, Terence added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Terence Lewis (@terence_here) Jagdambe Rani marks the Navratri launch The devotional song 'Jagdambe Rani' was released alongside the films first look. The song draws on the religious significance of Navratri, which celebrates the victory of Goddess Durga over Mahishasur and symbolises the triumph of good over evil. The track has been composed by Amol and Abhishek, with lyrics by Abhishek Talented. Dev Negi, Divya Kumar, Amol Shrivastava and Abhishek Talented have lent their voices to the song. Through Aaj Ka Mahishasur, the makers aim to connect the mythological symbolism of the festival with issues in contemporary society. The films central theme encourages viewers to reflect on the forms of wrongdoing that exist around them, as well as those they may need to confront within themselves.

Celina Jaitly has shared an emotional note on social media, reflecting on her ongoing divorce battle with her estranged husband, Peter Haag. In an Instagram post, the actor looked back at the events that led her to leave Austria and return to Mumbai a year ago, while detailing her legal battle, concerns about her children and efforts to seek justice. Celina began her post by recalling her arrival in Mumbai on October 12 last year. She wrote, One year ago, on 12 October 12, I arrived in Mumbai with a ticket booked on a credit card and one suitcase containing files, my late mother's saree, and heartbreak. The most difficult decision of my life. Recounting how she learnt about the divorce proceedings, Celina said, In early September 2025, I was driven to the post office for what I believed was our 15th wedding anniversary gift. It was a divorce notice. She added that during their first court hearing, the judge gave them until November to work towards an amicable separation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Celina Vikram Jaitly (@celinajaitlyofficial) The Khel actor also recalled pleading with Haag to resolve the matter amicably, keeping their children and family circumstances in mind. She wrote, I begged my husband: 'I promise I will not tell the court about your abuse and trauma. Let us separate amicably for the children... For my brother... How will I pay for litigation?' 'Speak to my lawyers,' I was told. I was also told to work as a cleaner if I ran short of legal fees. Fifteen years of marriage and four children. Was this the same man? Celina further alleged that a subsequent legal notice sought claims over her premarital assets. She also claimed that she was told she could not leave Austria after the divorce if she wanted access to her children. According to her post, she had no access to their Austrian accounts and discovered attempts to sell her premarital assets in India. Describing the circumstances surrounding her departure, the actor alleged that she was under constant surveillance and that recordings of her interactions with her children were being used to portray her as mentally unsound and an incapable mother. She said she eventually left Austria at 1 am with help from her neighbours, spent a week in a hotel and communicated with her children through Zoom and phone calls. Celina also claimed that contact with her children was severed when she approached the court to reclaim her premarital assets. Recalling a message from one of her twins, she alleged that the child had told her their father was screaming that she had abandoned them. A year later, Celina said her fight over custody was continuing. She alleged that her children were being brainwashed, alienated and moved between Austrian jurisdictions. Concluding her note, she wrote, Yet I await justice. This is the story of a mother who continues to fight... Celina Jaitly has been involved in a divorce battle with Peter Haag, who filed for divorce in an Austrian court last year.

Keely Hodgkinson's reply to critics: a world record, World Indoor gold and a split hamstring
Highlights Keely Hodgkinson has told Sky Sports that comments questioning her work ethic eally irritate her She says she posts on Instagram purely just for fun and that athletes have a lot of time to kill away from the track Her 2026 includes an indoor 800m world record, World Indoor gold, a British outdoor record and an Athlos win Next up are the 2027 World Championships in Beijing What she said Speaking to Sky Sports, Hodgkinson, 24, addressed the online reaction to her holiday and travel photos. She said she uses social media purely just for fun and does not think too deeply about it. Believe it or not, athletes do have a lot of time to kill away from the track, she said. The comments she singles out are the ones questioning her commitment. I get a lot of comments about that, which really irritates me, she said of questions over her work ethic. I'm like, 'If only you'd known what I'd done today [in training]!' She added that the idea of an athlete training constantly is not sustainable, that she and her friends love to mess about, and that even on training camps there is plenty of downtime. She started a YouTube channel a year ago, she said, to show people what life as a professional athlete is really like. Her Instagram account has more than 700,000 followers, according to reports of the interview. The answer is in the results Her season gives a detailed reply to anyone doubting her dedication. Date Event Result February 19 Livin, France Indoor 800m world record, 1:54.87 March 22 World Indoors, Toru 800m gold, 1:55.30, the second-fastest indoor time in history June 7 Stockholm Diamond League British outdoor record, 1:54.33, second to Audrey Werro July 18 London Athletics Meet 800m win, 1:56.21 August 14 European Championships, Birmingham 800m silver, 1:55.01, behind Werro's championship record September 11 Ultimate Championship, Budapest 800m silver, 1:56.26, after missing two Diamond League meetings September 18 Athlos, London 800m win in 1:56.40, in her new speed suit The world record had a neat symmetry: it beat Jolanda eplak's mark from March 3, 2002, the day Hodgkinson was born. At the World Indoors, she also ran the fastest split of the 4x400m relay final that night, 50.10 seconds, as Britain finished fifth. Keely Hodgkinson of Team Great Britain competes in the Women's 800 Metres Semi-Final Heat 1 during Day 1 of the World Athletics Ultimate Championship at National Athletics Centre on September 11, 2026 in Budapest, Hungary. Getty Images The injury behind the season Hodgkinson missed the Diamond League meetings in Brussels and Zurich with a hamstring tear before returning in Budapest. In September she revealed that an MRI scan after her 2025 hamstring injury had found an abnormality: her hamstring is split, giving her two tendons. If one tears, she can still keep running, but it may leave her more prone to injury. The speed suit and the style Her black Nike speed suit, which debuted at Athlos, prompted debate over whether it complied with the rules, though nothing has come to light to suggest it breaches regulations, and Hodgkinson has said she is confident it does. Reports say it was developed with Nike over a year and tested at a training camp in South Africa. She said she wanted to be comfortable but also a little bit sexy. There is a catch for the Olympics. Several outlets report that because Team GB's Olympic kit partner is Adidas, she will not be able to wear the Nike suit for Britain at Los Angeles 2028, though she could wear a different speed suit. Nike launched a clothing and footwear line she designed with the brand in July. Style has long been part of her approach. I get ready for a track meet as if I'm going out, she has said, treating the track like a stage.

Getty Images What's next After a long season, Hodgkinson will balance rest and training through the winter ahead of the 2027 World Championships in Beijing. Her rivalry with Werro and the Netherlands' Femke Broeders-Bol, which she has called great for our sport, will be one of the stories to watch. Who is Keely Hodgkinson? Hodgkinson was born on March 3, 2002 in Atherton, Greater Manchester, and joined Leigh Harriers at nine. She won Olympic silver at Tokyo 2020 aged 19, breaking Kelly Holmes's British record, and Olympic gold in Paris in 2024 with a time of 1:56.72. She is a two-time European outdoor champion, was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2024 and was awarded an MBE. An injury-hit 2025 still brought her a World Championships bronze.

Aamrapali Dubey recently discussed one of the most talked-about aspects of her personal life during a conversation with Mahhi Vij on Bigg Boss 20. The actress was asked about her relationship status and her equation with Bhojpuri actor Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known as Nirahua, with whom she has shared a popular on-screen pairing for years. The conversation began when Mahhi asked Aamrapali, Boyfriend nahi hai? Aamrapali revealed that she had been single for several years. When Mahhi suggested that her weight loss could help her find a partner, Aamrapali dismissed it, saying, Motape se boyfriend nahi hai aisa nahi hai. There are many people who like motapa. Aamrapali Dubey talks about dating in Bhojpuri industry Mahhi then wondered if there were no single men in the Bhojpuri film industry. Aamrapali brought up Pawan Singh, noting that he was going through a divorce. She also admitted that she and Pawan did not share a particularly good equation. The conversation eventually moved towards Nirahua. Mahhi recalled seeing Aamrapali with the actor and his children in Bandra, leading to questions about his personal life and marriage. Speaking about Nirahua's wife, Aamrapali said, She is a housewife. Arranged marriage. Wo actor bane usse pehle hi unki shaadi ho gayi thi. Mahhi then asked whether Nirahua had married only once and whether he had ever been in a relationship before. Aamrapali's response appeared to keep the conversation light, as she said, Girlfriends toh rahi hi hongi. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) Mahhi later explained to her friends that she had deliberately approached the topic indirectly rather than asking Aamrapali about the rumours directly. Recalling the exchange, she said, Mujhe ek point pe aana tha uske saath. Maine kaha, maine toh tumhare bahut charche sune hain Nirahua ke saath, indirect way mein bola... Aamrapali and Nirahua's long-standing association Rumours about Aamrapali and Nirahua have circulated for several years, largely because of their successful professional partnership and close friendship. The actors first worked together in the 2014 Bhojpuri film Nirahua Hindustani and later appeared in several films together. Their on-screen chemistry became popular among Bhojpuri cinema audiences, while their frequent collaborations and off-screen bond also led to speculation about the nature of their relationship. However, Aamrapali has maintained over the years that she and Nirahua share a close friendship.

Murad Khetani of Cine1 Studios has made a mark in Bollywood with successful films like Kabir Singh (2019), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), Animal (2023) and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024). He developed a strong bond with blockbuster filmmaker Atlee while working on Baby John (2024), and the association has now continued with Baththa. The recently released Tamil entertainer stars Vijay Sethupathi in the lead and marks Murad Khetani's foray into Tamil cinema. Produced under the banners of Cine1 Studios, Atlee's A for Apple Studios and Star Studio18, the film has opened a new chapter in the producer's career. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Murad Khetani spoke about Baththa, his experience of working with Vijay Sethupathi, his association with Atlee, the possibility of a Hindi version and a lot more. How has been the response to Baththa? The response has been very encouraging, and it feels great to see the film reaching out to audiences. As a producer, you always hope that the effort and conviction you put into a film connect with people, and thats what makes this journey special. For me, Baththa is also an important film because it marks my first Tamil release, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. Vijay Sethupathi looks in great form. Was he the first choice? Also, how was it working with team Baththa? Vijay Sethupathi sir is a phenomenal actor, and what I love about him is that he brings so much honesty and individuality to every character he plays. His presence adds a lot to the story. Director T Balaji and Vijay sir share a long-standing relationship, and I think that understanding played a very important role in bringing this character to life. When you have that kind of comfort and creative equation, it really reflects on screen. Honestly, we felt that no one could have done this role better than Vijay. It was a wonderful experience working with the entire team of Baththa. T Balaji had a clear vision for the film, Sai Abhyankkar brought a fresh musical energy, and Sai Prithviraj, despite being so young, brought a lovely presence to the screen. Everyone brought their own strengths to the project, and it was a great team to be associated with, especially for my first Tamil release. Tell us about the hair flip done by Vijay Sethupathi repeatedly in the film. Was it inspired by Rajinikanth? The hair flip was essentially a creative decision taken by the director and Vijay sir on the sets. It evolved organically as part of the character and the way Vijay sir chose to portray him. As producers, we believe in giving our directors and actors the creative freedom to explore such nuances and discover what works best. While Rajinikanth sir has made several such signature mannerisms iconic, the hair flip in Baththa was something that emerged naturally during the filmmaking process. View this post on Instagram A post shared by A for Apple Studios (@aforapplestudios) What made you go down South? For me, it was a very natural step, and a lot of credit goes to Atlee sir and the entire team of Baththa. Atlee sir and I share a great bond, and there is a lot of mutual trust and understanding between us. When you have that kind of relationship with someone, it becomes easier to explore new opportunities together. The entire team of Baththa was equally passionate about the film, and that gave me a lot of confidence. I have always believed that good stories go beyond language and geography. For me, it was less about entering a new industry and more about being part of a good film with the right people. Baththa gave me that opportunity, and I am really happy that my first Tamil film has been this experience. This is your second film with Atlee. How has been your bond with him? Working with Atlee sir has been a great experience. He is extremely passionate about cinema and has a very clear understanding of the kind of stories he wants to tell. What I appreciate most about him is his conviction and the energy he brings into a project. Priya Atlee is an equally wonderful producer. Over time, weve become like family, and we share a very special bond. Did you or Atlee ever think of dubbing the film in Hindi? Of course, when you make a film, you always think about how it can reach a wider audience. Hindi is definitely a market we understand well, but I also believe that every film has its own journey. With Baththa, our focus was on telling the story the way it was meant to be told. If we feel that a Hindi version can add value and help the film reach more people, we would certainly be open to exploring it.

UP: Two cars gutted in fire at Indirapuram residential building
Digital Desk | Ghaziabad, Oct 13 (IANS) Two cars were completely gutted, and another was partially damaged after a fire broke out in the stilt parking area of a multi-storey residential building in Gyankhand I, Indirapuram, in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad district on Tuesday. No casualties were reported in the incident. According to the fire department, information about the blaze at Plot No. 154 in Gyankhand I was received around 4.25 a.m. Fire engines were immediately dispatched from the Vaishali Fire Station to bring the situation under control. Given the severity of the fire, three motor fire engines and one water bowser were deployed at the site. Firefighters launched an operation to extinguish the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to other parked vehicles and the residential flats above. However, the fire brigade personnel faced difficulties reaching the spot due to decorations installed in the area for a Jagran event, along with other vehicles obstructing access. The firefighters removed the decorations and cleared the way for the fire engines before beginning the firefighting operation. Two cars were completely destroyed in the blaze. Another car parked nearby sustained partial damage. The prompt response of the fire brigade personnel helped prevent the flames from spreading further. Other vehicles parked in the stilt parking area and the flats on the upper floors of the four-storey building were also protected from the fire. The incident caused concern among residents of the building, although no injuries or casualties were reported. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. Officials are investigating the incident to establish the circumstances that led to the blaze. Separately, two men trapped inside the mangled cabin of a pickup after it crashed into a parked truck near Masuri on National Highway-9 early on Monday were rescued by fire department personnel, police said. Both had sustained injuries and were admitted to a hospital.

Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Oct 12 (IANS) The Gujarat government has sealed four warehouses in Mehsana district after surprise inspections uncovered more than 1.58 lakh bags of suspected adulterated cottonseed cake, including a stock valued at Rs 25 crore at a warehouse in Linch, the state government said on Monday. The inspections were conducted on October 11 in the Kadi area on the instructions of Animal Husbandry Minister Jitu Vaghani, following a specific complaint about possible adulteration in animal feed. Samples of the suspected material have been sent to laboratories for testing, while officials are verifying the physical stock against warehouse records. According to the preliminary investigation, approximately 63.41 lakh kg of stock at the Linch warehouse, estimated to be worth Rs 25 crore, was found to be expired and suspected to be adulterated. The findings remain subject to further verification and laboratory analysis. The inspections covered four warehouses associated with the NCDEX group. At Bhavya Warehouse in Aldesan, officials found 14,125 bags, while Shubham Logistics Warehouse in the same village had 5,090 bags. Mahashakti Warehouse, also known as Amina Warehouse, in Nagrasan had 10,796 bags, and LTC Warehouse on the Linch-Ambasan Road had approximately 1,28,622 bags. The combined stock of more than 1,58,500 bags was sealed late on Sunday night for counting and verification. Joint teams from the Mehsana District Animal Husbandry Department, the Food and Drugs Control Administration, the Kadi Mamlatdar's office and veterinary services carried out the inspections under the supervision of the Mehsana Collector. Officials collected separate samples of the suspected cottonseed cake using scientific methods and sent them to laboratories for urgent analysis. On October 12, teams are also verifying the physical stock at the warehouses against the closing balances recorded in the stock registers. The action comes after Gujarat enacted a new law to ensure the quality and safety of animal feed. The legislation has received the Governor's assent, and its implementation is expected to begin shortly, according to the government. Vaghani had warned against adulteration in animal feed and cottonseed cake while addressing the annual general meeting of the Gujarat Cotton Seeds Crushers Association. He said the government would not tolerate practices that endangered animal health or harmed livestock farmers. The priority of the government is to ensure that livestock farmers in the state receive pure, safe and quality feed for their animals, Vaghani said. He added that those violating the prescribed standards of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), or selling adulterated and unfit feed, could face legal penalties, cancellation of licences and imprisonment under the new law. Further action is expected to depend on the findings of the laboratory tests and the verification of stock records.

Childish: Maha Minister blasts Rahul Gandhi on MPSC protest remarks
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 12 (IANS) Maharashtra Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ashish Shelar on Monday launched a sharp attack on Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, describing his remarks on the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) student protests as childish and accusing the Opposition of engaging in unconstitutional street politics. Speaking to reporters at the Mumbai Press Club, Minister Shelar strongly disputed LoP Rahul Gandhis assertion that the MPSC chairpersons decision to go on leave represented a victory for protesting students and their Satyagraha. Dismissing LoP Rahul Gandhis narrative, he asserted that the government and the ruling alliance had continuously stood by the agitating aspirants. Gandhis comments are childish. We were also with the students; thus, it is also our victory, he declared, emphasising that addressing candidate grievances was a collective priority rather than a partisan achievement. The minister urged political leaders to respect established institutional procedures instead of inciting chaos or staging street demonstrations. Minister Shelar argued that as the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi should utilise legitimate avenuessuch as floor debates in Parliament or legal petitions in the Supreme Courtto raise critical issues. He emphasised that grievances must be addressed through constitutional mechanisms, including legislative debates and judicial review. Noting that legal matters are currently pending before courts, he stressed that all parties must await judicial verdicts rather than provoking public unrest. Creating widespread agitation and storming streets, he warned, poses a serious threat to national stability and governance. To reinforce his point, Shelar invoked B. R. Ambedkars historic final address to the Constituent Assembly on November 25, 1949. He recalled Ambedkars stark warning regarding the grammar of anarchyhe peril of abandoning constitutional methods for civil disobedience once democratic avenues become available. Drawing a contrast with his own party's history, Minister Shelar cited the BJP's decades in opposition. He noted that while the party spearheaded major national movements over issues like the Ram Temple, Jammu & Kashmir, and student rights, it consistently operated within institutional frameworks without storming Parliament or invading the Prime Minister's official residence. Addressing accusations of authoritarianism under Prime Minister Narendra Modis government, Minister Shelar pushed back, pointing to sustained public demonstrationsincluding widespread farmer protestsas proof of active democratic freedoms in India. He concluded by reiterating that political rivalries must be resolved through democratic dialogue, court rulings, and parliamentary debate rather than by undermining public institutions.
