Preity Zinta has spoken about the challenges of making films in the current environment, saying that changing audience habits and the speed at which people react to content have made filmmaking tougher. The actress shared her thoughts while discussing her latest project Vibe in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama. Talking about the changing theatrical landscape, Preity said, People are not going that much to theatres. So, its tougher to make films. The stakes are higher. And when you are making a film like this, which is very different, its not a formula. But not just this film; in general, I have seen that everybody is trying to make a film on a smaller budget and longer hours because now its not just a theatre, people are watching films online. People are on Instagram. They are doing everything. Preity also pointed to the way audiences respond to films even before they are released. According to her, social media has changed the process of forming opinions about a film, with reactions sometimes coming from the first visuals or scenes. She said, Everyone is so quick to judge. Earlier, people would go to a theatre, tell their cousins and friends to either watch or dont watch a film. But today, the first shot of your film comes out and people are already writing good, bad, ugly, giving spoilers before the film is out. That way, films have become very tough and difficult. No film is made in two days. You spend months making it. You work really hard. Her comments come at a time when filmmakers are working across theatrical and digital platforms, while social media has become an important part of how films are discussed and promoted. Vibe, written and directed by Kunal Kemmu, features Preity alongside Kemmu and Sparsh Shrivastava. For Preity, the changing viewing habits and immediate reactions on social media are among the factors that have added to the challenges involved in making and releasing films today.

Real Kashmir Football Club: How a 2019 news story became an International Emmy nominee
Highlights: Real Kashmir Football Club has been nominated for Drama Series at the 2026 International Emmy Awards The SonyLIV drama is inspired by the true story of Jammu and Kashmirs first professional football club The series follows two men who set out to build a football team and create opportunities for young people in the Valley A football club born from a real story in Kashmir has now made its way to the International Emmys. SonyLIVs Real Kashmir Football Club has been nominated in the Drama Series category at the 2026 International Emmy Awards. The series is competing against the UKs A Thousand Blows , Frances Carme and Argentinas Menem . Directed by Mahesh Mathai and Rajesh Mapuskar, the eight-part Hindi series premiered on SonyLIV on December 9, 2025. It stars Manav Kaul and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in the lead roles. But behind the Emmy-nominated drama is a real football story that began years before the series reached streaming audiences. How did Real Kashmir Football Club begin? The real-life story traces back to the aftermath of the devastating floods that hit Kashmir in 2014. Businessman Sandeep Chattoo and journalist Shamim Meraj came together after seeing the impact of the floods on communities in the Valley. They began by distributing footballs to local children, an effort that eventually helped lead to the formation of Real Kashmir FC in 2016. The club went on to make history by becoming the first professional football club from Jammu and Kashmir to play in India's top-tier I-League. That journey became the foundation for the SonyLIV series. See on Instagram What is Real Kashmir Football Club about? The series follows two men who decide to build a professional football team in Kashmir. Manav Kaul plays Shishir, while Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub plays Sohail. Together, their characters attempt to recruit players, find funding and keep the club alive despite the challenges around them. Football, however, is only one part of the story. The series also focuses on the young players who see the sport as an opportunity to build a different future. The team brings together 20 players, each dealing with their own circumstances, while the founders try to turn an ambitious idea into a functioning professional club. SonyLIV describes the series as the story of two dreamers and twenty underdogs who attempt to build one of India's unlikely professional football clubs. Why is the International Emmy nomination significant? The nomination gives a wider international audience a chance to discover a story rooted in Kashmir and Indian football. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub said the project was an important story for the team to tell and dedicated the recognition to the people of Kashmir. He also expressed hope that the nomination would help the series reach a wider audience. For showrunner and co-director Mahesh Mathai, the recognition marks the culmination of a long journey from discovering the story to bringing it to screen. Mathai said the team was honoured that the series had received global recognition through the Emmy nomination. The 54th International Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place in New York on November 23, 2026. For Real Kashmir Football Club , the nomination has taken a story that began with a football club in the Valley onto an international stage.

The actor clarified that his visit with his co-star was part of a promotional activity and pointed out that he has done similar outings with actresses in the past. Speaking to ANI about the reaction to the videos, Govinda said, Log toh aise react kar rahe haiMain Roopa film ke liye prarthana kar raha tha. Main isse pehle Karisma (Kapoor) ke saath gaya tha, voh good luck raha tha mera, films hit hue thi. Raveena ke saath bhi gaya tha, film hit hue thi. Iss time main Rani ke saath gaya hu. Praarthana ki hai (People are reacting in this way I was praying for my film Roopa. Earlier, I had gone with Karisma Kapoor, which turned out to be good luck for me and the films were hits. I also went with Raveena, and that film was a hit. This time, I went with Rani. I have offered my prayers). The actor also questioned the attention surrounding the visit and maintained that there was no reason for the outing to become a subject of controversy. Pata nahi kya logo ko kasht hai? Shuru ho raha hai toh uspe itna charcha kaise hai. Hum famous ho rahe hai toh aapko kya taqleef hai (I dont know what people have a problem with. It is just beginning, so why is there so much discussion around it? If we are becoming famous, what problem do you have with that?), he said. Meanwhile, actress-dancer Rakhi Sawant also reacted to the viral video and urged Govinda to reconsider the optics of his public appearance with Komal Rani. Sharing several videos on Instagram, Rakhi appealed to the actor to take Sunita Ahuja along with him instead. Ye bahot galat baat hai Govinda ji. Apni biwi ko le ke jana chahiye, jiske sath aap 40 saal gujare (This is very wrong, Govinda ji. You should have taken your wife, with whom you have spent 40 years), Rakhi said.

Itne bade Lalbaugcha ke Ganpati mein aap wo Rupa, Komal ko lekar gaye (Oh Chichi brother, what has happened to you? At such a big Lalbaugcha Ganpati, you went with that Rupa, Komal ) She further questioned the identity of his co-star and asked him to spend time with Sunita. Kaun hai wo? Aap apni biwi ko lekar ghumo na, Sunita ji ko (Who is she? You should go around with your wife, Sunita ji), Rakhi added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kishan Panday (@kisan_pandey123456) Appealing for reconciliation, Rakhi said, Wo bhi khamosh ho gayi hai. Subh ka bhula shaam ko ghar aa jaye to usko bhula nahi kehte. Aap sab kuch bhul jao yar (She has also become silent. If someone who loses their way in the morning returns home by evening, they are not considered lost. Forget everything, please). The latest discussion comes amid increased public attention around Govinda and Sunita Ahuja. Before this, Sunita had made a comment to paparazzi comparing the loyalty of animals with humans.

Mulani, Deshpande Help India A Thump Australia A By 162 Runs
Opener Sai Sudharsan: Left-arm spinner Shams Mulani took three wickets in the second innings to return a match-haul of seven for 124 as India A recorded a thumping 162-run win over Australia A about half an hour after lunch on the concluding day of the first four-day fixture at the CAP-Siechem Stadium here on Friday.

Gauahar Khan has reacted to a recent moment involving Aasif Khan on Bigg Boss 19, questioning the actors comments about moustaches and masculinity. The Bigg Boss 7 winner said she found Aasifs remarks and his behaviour on the show disappointing, while also acknowledging his work as an actor.

Explaining why the moustache was significant to him, Aasif said, Hum naa Rajasthan se aate hain, yeh mooch humari pehchaan hai, aur muchmundo ko mardon mein consider nahi karte hum. Isliye daadi aisi hai. Aasifs statement prompted a reaction from Gauahar, who questioned linking a mans identity or masculinity to his appearance.

Gauahar Khan calls out Aasifs small thinking Taking to Instagram, Gauahar shared a note addressing the incident. She wrote, Yaar I have a question , Asif ka career toh acting mein bohat accha chal raha hai naa , he shouldn't have come on the show to showcase such small thinking and really silly behaviour , when that girl was dissing uditi, in the most low manner , he was enjoying like they r all his thoughts . Felt bad seeing that . Such a good actor par Har cheez Mein aisi soch choti lagti hai . Gauahar further referred to Aasifs comment about moustaches and masculinity, writing, Mard ki nishaani mooch hoti hai hhahahah islam mein toh musalman mard ke liye sunnah is no moonch, has he forgotten that ???? Mard ki nishaani uski unchi soch aur behaviour hoti hai ! Wish he knew that ! The exchange comes as tensions continue to play out inside the Bigg Boss 19 house.

Expressing his happiness over the response to the show, the actor wrote, Sugam Mishra reporting Thank you for giving soooo much love to Waiting Hai From the entire team Dhanyawaad. The series marks another recent outing for Divyenndu following his appearance in Mirzapur The Movie, allowing the actor to be seen in a distinctly different role as Sugam Mishra. In an earlier interaction, Divyenndu had opened up about what attracted him to the character of Sugam. The actor highlighted the characters honesty and innocence, while also pointing out how his belief in doing the right thing puts him in difficult situations. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Divyenndu (@divyenndu) I think what really drew me to Sugam was how pure-hearted he is and how genuine his intentions are. In todays day and age, when we all have so much going on, you seldom come across someone like Sugam, who is so pure at heart, almost to the extent of being naive, and yet believes that he can change things. He gets himself into a lot of trouble along the way, but that is what makes his journey interesting. It shows that when an honest individual dares to stand up against something unjust, there will always be challenges, whether it is bureaucracy or hierarchy, but you can still find a way through them. That core of Sugam, of going against all odds, is what really attracted me to him, he said. Waiting Hai is produced by Ajay Rai, Sana Warsi, Deepak Simhal and Jyoti Deshpande under the banners of JAR Pictures and Jio Studios. Directed by Sameer Vidwans, the series also stars Bhuvan Arora, Kumud Mishra, Harshita Gaur and Sunita Rajwar. It premiered on Amazon MX Player on September 16, 2026.

Apoorva compares her NYU-NYFW double life to Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana
Creator Apoorva has drawn a pop-culture comparison to one of Disneys most recognisable fictional double lives. The creator recently shared a get-ready-with-me (GRWM) video while preparing for her first-ever New York Fashion Week appearance, comparing her current routine in New York to Miley Cyrus iconic character Hannah Montana. In Hannah Montana, Cyrus played Miley Stewart, a teenager who secretly balanced her everyday life with her career as pop star Hannah Montana. Apoorvas real-life routine does not involve a secret celebrity identity, but she pointed out the contrast between her academic life and her growing presence in New Yorks fashion and entertainment scene. Apoorva has moved to New York to pursue her MBA at NYU while continuing her work as a creator and entrepreneur. In her video, she highlighted how her days can shift from attending classes to getting ready for fashion events. The creator also drew attention to one major difference between her life and Hannah Montanas. While the fictional character had a large pink revolving closet to switch between her two identities, Apoorva said she has been dealing with a far less glamorous wardrobe arrangement. The only minor difference between me and Hannah Montana is that she had this big, beautiful, pink, revolving closet and I have this. This is my closet. I have been living out of a suitcase for the last 31 days, she shared. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Apoorva (@the.rebel.kid) The suitcase, however, came in handy for her first New York Fashion Week appearance. Apoorva attended the show for Nazranaa, a New Jersey-based South Asian bridal boutique, wearing a shimmery ensemble featuring an embellished corset-style top and flowing skirt. She completed the look with a bindi, adding an Indian touch to her Fashion Week appearance. Her GRWM video offered a glimpse into the contrast between her student routine and her work as a creator. While her schedule currently includes MBA classes at NYU, she is also navigating appearances and opportunities within New Yorks fashion scene. By using the Hannah Montana reference, Apoorva framed the contrast in her current routine through a familiar pop-culture lens academic commitments on one side and Fashion Week appearances on the other. Unlike the fictional characters revolving closet, however, her version of the double life currently comes with a suitcase.

Darshan Raval announces The Everafter EP; reveals 4-song track list and cryptic cover art
Darshan Raval is set to return with a new musical project. The singer-songwriter has announced his upcoming EP The Everafter, revealing its cover art and four-track lineup on September 24.

The visual features several objects and words that have already prompted fans to look for possible connections between the four songs. Among the elements featured in the artwork is an envelope carrying the words Sirf Tum, placed alongside a ring next to Darshan. A door, a dog, scattered letters and words including Love, Life, You and Magic also form part of the visual. The singer has so far kept the significance of these elements under wraps, leaving the meaning of the clues open to interpretation. The artwork also appears to connect The Everafter with Darshans recently announced Love Letters Tour. A blue letter box and multiple letters feature prominently in the visual, echoing the letter-based imagery associated with the upcoming live chapter of his musical journey. For now, Darshan has chosen not to disclose how the four songs fit into the larger narrative of the EP. The track titles, however, provide the first concrete details about the project, while the cover art establishes a visual world built around recurring themes of love, life and magic. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Darshan Raval (@darshanravaldz) With The Everafter, Darshan is introducing listeners to another chapter of his music while leaving the details of the project to unfold gradually.

Hanuman Ansh producer Anupriya Nagar quit her Zurich job at 21 and put 3,942 into the film
Highlights: Anupriya Nagar left her Zurich job at 21 She invested about 3,942 in Hanuman Ansh The film is inspired by Neem Karoli Babas life and teachings She read the 120-page script in one sitting Nagar also shared her views on Ramayana and Adipurush At 21, Anupriya Nagar had secured what she described as her dream job in Zurich after studying economics in the UK. But instead of building a career in Switzerland, she returned to India and eventually entered the film industry. Her decision led her to Hanuman Ansh , a film inspired by the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba. Nagar joined the project as a co-producer and invested approximately 3,942 in the film. The movie had a budget of slightly more than 118,257, according to Nagar. Her interest in Neem Karoli Baba began while she was researching the founders of technology companies for a final-year university project. She came across the story of Steve Jobs visit to Kainchi Dham and began exploring the spiritual teachers life. Nagar said she wanted younger audiences to know Neem Karoli Baba through his own journey rather than simply through the famous people associated with him. I wanted to know Maharaj Ji through his own story, she said. See on Instagram From economics to filmmaking Filmmaking was not originally part of Nagars career plans. She had studied economics in the UK and had already secured a job in Zurich. She had also worked several part-time jobs and saved money because she wanted to become financially independent. A trip back to India during the visa process, however, changed her plans. Nagar met producer Ragini Sona, who introduced her to Hanuman Ansh . Curious about the story, Nagar asked to read the screenplay. She finished the 120-page script in one sitting . By the time she became involved, the film had already been shot and was entering post-production. The project needed funding, and Nagar asked whether she could contribute. She eventually joined the production team. Her family was initially surprised by the decision. When I told my family, initially my father thought, Has the girl lost her way? Nagar recalled, referring to her economics degree, Zurich job and decision to return to India. Nagar said she invested one-third of the films budget. Under the arrangement she described, she would receive one-fourth of the profits after the distributors share, expenses and taxes. Her views on Ramayana Nagar also discussed Nitesh Tiwaris upcoming Ramayana , starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. She said portraying revered figures requires more than changing dietary habits. According to Nagar, the process also involves character, humility and being conscious of ones conduct. She also spoke about Adipurush , saying she was unable to connect with the film because she felt its visual effects and portrayal of Ravana were overly glamourized. Nagar said she is nevertheless looking forward to Ramayana , praising the detailing in its trailer while expressing reservations about promoting the movie primarily around its reported budget. For Nagar, the journey from an economics classroom to a film set began with an interest in Neem Karoli Baba. What started as an idea for short videos or a comic book eventually became a feature film investment and her entry into Bollywood.

Padikkal, Kushagra Set Up Victory Push For India A, Bowlers Reduce Australia A To 55/2
Captain Devdutt Padikkal: Captain Devdutt Padikkal made a fluent 59 while in-form Kumar Kushagra chipped in with an unbeaten 46, before India A bowlers reduced Australia A to 55/2 at stumps on Day Three of the first four-day match here on Thursday. At stumps, Australia A require another 308 runs to win, with captain Peter Handscomb and Nathan McSweeney (23 not out) at the crease. India A, who had earned a massive 163-run first-innings lead after bundling out Australia A for 171 on day two, chose against enforcing the follow-on. Resuming their second innings, India A had to contend with a Siechem Ground pitch that started offering uneven bounce, with balls either shooting low at ankle height or rearing up sharply from a length. Despite the difficult conditions, captain Padikkal and his deputy B. Sai Sudharsan (39) added 68 runs for the second wicket to consolidate India A's position after opener Aman Mokhade (9) fell early to Brendan Doggett. Padikkal brought up his half-century off 72 balls and used his feet well against off-spinner Todd Murphy, while dispatching Liam Scott for back-to-back boundaries. His knock eventually ended when a short ball from Scott stayed low and trapped him LBW. Scott also removed Yash Rathod (12) to finish with figures of 2 for 22. Murphy proved to be Australia A's most successful bowler, taking 4-48 by relentlessly targeting the rough and attacking the stumps. Doggett picked up 2-21, including bowling a short ball that struck Kushagra on the chin. Kushagra, however, continued aggressively after receiving medical treatment by hitting two sixes off Murphy in his 59-ball 46 before running out of partners as India A were bowled out for 199. He did not take the field for wicketkeeping duties later in the evening, with substitute N Jagadeesan donning the gloves. Chasing 363, Australia A suffered an early blow when fast bowler Tushar Deshpande trapped opener Campbell Kellaway lbw for a duck with a sharp inswinger in the second over. Sam Konstas (20) and McSweeney added 47 runs for the second wicket to steady the chase briefly. But off-spinner Tanush Kotian broke the stand around 15 minutes before stumps by trapping Konstas LBW. With the pitch cracking up and offering increasingly unpredictable bounce, spinners Kotian and Shams Mulani are expected to play a key role on the final day as India A press for victory. Sam Konstas (20) and McSweeney added 47 runs for the second wicket to steady the chase briefly. But off-spinner Tanush Kotian broke the stand around 15 minutes before stumps by trapping Konstas LBW.

Macklemore has announced the Free Palestine tour, with three shows set for Dublin (Oct. 26), Paris (Oct. 29) and London (Oct. 30). The news comes after the Grammy-winning rapper was infamously dropped as opener from Ed Sheerans U.S. tour after making Free Palestine speeches while on stage at two concerts at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Per Live Nation, the Free Palestine tour will bring Macklemore together with artists and friends for a series of performances that center Palestine and Palestinians, and help provide humanitarian aid and support to the movement.

If these last couple of weeks have shown us anything, its that something has shifted over the last three years, Macklemore wrote in a statement on Instgaram while announcing the tour. There has been a collective awakening around Palestinian liberation, the power of billionaires that try to censor that call, and what we expect from artists right now. Its 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesnt work anymore, he continued. People are asking artists to show up, educate themselves and be in community. To use the stage for more than entertainment. To push back when the call for a Free Palestine is met with attempts to silence it What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention. Reach Macklemores full statement below.

Netanyahu expected to criticize Mamdani in campaign-style U.N. speech
By Alexander Cornwell and Emily Rose TEL AVIV, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to use his UN address on Thursday to berate New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for calling him a war criminal, a feud that highlights the Israeli leader's growing isolation ahead of elections at home that he may lose. Addressing the mayor directly in a video statement this week, Netanyahu said he was going to New York to tell the truth about our heroic soldiers and to tell the truth about you. He falsely accused Mamdani of supporting Hamas militants. Mamdani campaigned for office on a promise to have Netanyahu arrested for alleged war crimes should he visit the largest US city but later said he determined he lacked the legal authority to do so. This week, Mamdani described Netanyahu as the architect of a horrific genocide against Palestinians. Netanyahu, who rejects war crimes allegations, will be making his first visit to New York since Mamdani took office in January. Israelis opposed to Netanyahu's right-wing government are planning to protest in New York. Ahead of his speech, Netanyahu's government paid to place 500 pro-Israel and anti-Iran billboards and dozens of trucks carrying messages in support of Israel across Manhattan, Netanyahu's office said in a statement. Freedom doesn't defend itself. America and Israel stand together against terror, one of the billboards states. Under it appears the subtext: Paid for by the State of Israel. NETANYAHU ADDRESS TO RESEMBLE 'CAMPAIGN SPEECH' Israel holds a general election in five weeks that opinion polls suggest could end Netanyahu's long hold on power. The campaign is unfolding amid mounting criticism of Israel's Gaza war and without a planned meeting with US President Donald Trump. He's not really speaking to the UN, he's speaking to the Israeli public, said former Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren, who expects Netanyahu's address to resemble a campaign speech. Maybe he's thinking, 'If I can attack Mamdani and attack the Iranians, somebody who was wavering between voting for me and voting for (Gadi) Eisenkot may decide to vote for me,' Oren said, referring to former military chief Eisenkot, Netanyahu's leading rival. NETANYAHU NOT EXPECTED TO MEET TRUMP Netanyahu is making an unusually short visit to the US for his UN address. He arrived in New York around 9 a.m. ET (1300 GMT) and is expected to fly back the same day after delivering his speech in the afternoon. The Israeli leader is to meet with the presidents of Argentina, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Panama and Paraguay and the vice president of Colombia, and with the prime ministers of Greece, Papua New Guinea and Slovenia, Netanyahu's office said. His office did not say if meetings were planned with US officials. Speaking on condition of anonymity, two Israeli officials earlier said Netanyahu's team was discussing potentially holding meetings with senior US officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, though nothing had been set. Netanyahu is not expected to meet Trump. The two men jointly launched a war on Iran on February 28, but they found themselves on a collision course after the US and Iran agreed to an interim ceasefire that Netanyahu opposed. Many Israelis were angered by that deal, and opinion polls showed they questioned Trump's commitment to Israeli security, even as his administration proceeds with billions of dollars in arms sales to Israel's government. A lack of any encounter with the president, a month before an Israeli election, will indicate that Trump is keeping a distance from him and will be negative for Netanyahu's campaign, said Nimrod Goren, president of Mitvim, an Israeli think tank focused on the country's foreign policy. The election is scheduled for October 27. ISRAEL CONFRONTS INTERNATIONAL CRITICISM Israel's longest-serving prime minister, Netanyahu has in the past made a visual spectacle of his UN appearances, using charts, diagrams and props to warn of Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran says is for civilian purposes. Last year several delegations walked out as Netanyahu approached the lectern while supporters in the gallery cheered. Goren said Netanyahu's speech would likely follow a familiar script: defending Israel, confronting its critics and warning about Iran while arguing that Israel's opposition to Tehran serves the interests of the wider international community. He will also likely tout what he sees as his own achievements and close ties to Trump and the US, Goren said. Israel has faced deepening diplomatic isolation since launching its war in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attacks on Israel nearly three years ago. Netanyahu is unable to travel to many countries because of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, issued against him and his former defense minister as well as the then-military commander of Hamas in 2024. Earlier this month, once-steadfast allies Britain, France and Canada announced sanctions targeting Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which drew a muted response from Washington.

Wrong Precedent: Lawyers Body Protests Supreme Courts Handling Of Noida DMs Plea
THE LAWYERS ASSOCIATION FOR CONSTITUTION (LAFC) has written to the Chief Justice of India questioning the special listing and muted live proceedings in the case of Noida District Magistrate Medha Roopam. LAFC has sent an open letter to the Chief Justice of India protesting the listing of two petitions filed over strictures passed against Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam. The letter, dated September 24, objects to the matter being placed before a particular bench outside the ordinary roster, and to the muting of the video conferencing feed during the hearing. The out-of-turn listing of the case has received special treatment and tends to set a wrong precedent, the LAFC wrote. The letter noted that Roopam also happens to be the daughter of the Chief Election Commissioner of India, namely Gyanesh Kumar. Allahabad High Court Quashing NSA Against Akriti and Indicting Civil Servants Captures Sardar Patel and Ambedkars Vision The underlying case The dispute traces back to protests by workers in Noida demanding wage revisions. A student, Akriti Chaudhary, was detained under the National Security Act in connection with the unrest. The Allahabad High Court quashed her detention and directed Roopam to pay Rs 5 lakh compensation from her own salary. Paragraphs 27 to 33 of that judgment recorded strictures against the DM, holding that she desired to set an example out of Chaudhary to deter others from exercising their right to freedom of speech and expression in public spaces in support of labourers. Roopam and the Uttar Pradesh government moved the Supreme Court against the order. The petitions, SLP (Crl.) Diary No. 56202/2026 and SLP (Crl.) No. 18010/2026, came up before a bench of Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice N K Singh. Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi appeared for the state, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta for Roopam, and Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves for Chaudhary. Muted proceedings, then a clarified order During the September 23 hearing, the bench muted the audio of the video conferencing feed, cutting off media access since reporters cannot enter the courtroom in person. The Court reserved orders on interim relief that day. Later on September 23, the Court stayed paragraphs 27 to 33 of the High Court judgment, the portion recording strictures and directing salary recovery. Notice was issued, and the matter was listed for October 7. The Court clarified that the stay did not extend to the quashing of Chaudharys NSA detention itself, which stands. On September 24, the Court revised its order to make this distinction explicit, specifying that the stay operates only on the adverse remarks against the officer and the compensation direction. The LAFCs objection While the LAFCs in its letter has not disputed the merits of the stay, it has raised complaints such as that the case did not fall before this bench under the prevailing roster for NSA matters, that it appears to have been specially assigned, and that muting the live feed in a case important for media and the public undermines the openness that video conferencing is meant to provide. The special listing before a particular bench has also not enhanced confidence in the judicial process, the letter states.

CM Fadnavis assures drought relief, loan waiver amid agrarian distress
Digital Desk | Washim (Maharashtra), Sep 24 (IANS) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday announced that the state government will soon issue a Government Resolution (GR) declaring a severe drought in affected regions and extend crop loan waiver benefits to all eligible farmers who were left out of earlier schemes, as the state grapples with a worsening agrarian crisis. The announcement comes during his visit to drought-affected Washim districts in the Vidarbha region on Thursday to inspect crop damage and assess water shortages. After visiting villages in the Marathwada region and Solapur district on Wednesday, the Chief Minister arrived at Masal village in the Washim district on Thursday. Large crowds of local farmers assembled to meet him, hand over memorandums outlining their grievances, and share reports of dwindling livestock fodder and water supplies. Addressing the farmers directly in Masal village, the Chief Minister reassured the public that state machinery would prioritize rural relief. Do not worry; the government stands firmly behind you. We will be issuing the Government Resolution (GR) for the drought, and those farmers who missed out on the loan waiver scheme will also be covered, he said. Beyond financial relief, the state administration is deploying emergency measures to ensure uninterrupted drinking water supply, distribute fodder for cattle, and expedite crop damage assessments (panchanamas), said the CM. Earlier, CM Fadnavis on Wednesday said that crop damage assessments (panchnamas) are being conducted solely because they are legally mandated. The government has no intention of getting farmers entangled in administrative delays. The financial aid will be extended universally, he assured, adding that the state stands firmly behind farmers by considering damage to both Kharif and Rabi seasons. Describing the condition of crops in Latur district as critical, CM Fadnavis noted that the current rainfall has dropped to 50 per cent, compared to 63 per cent during previous drought years. Urging citizens to remain resilient, he assured that the state government would fully manage drinking water supplies and livestock fodder. We will need to support one another over the next three to four months, and the state government is fully standing by you, the Chief Minister stated. He further assured that the state government would clear pending bills for water supply schemes to ensure every village receives drinking water. Acknowledging that the present conditions are even more severe than the historic 1972 drought, CM Fadnavis reaffirmed that the official drought declaration order would be released within two days, adding that funds won't be a problem.

Today, you filled Bungalow with that voice, that warmth and that soul. From meeting Myshu, to joining us for Ganga Aarti, to making Modaks for Ganesh Chaturthi, everything felt so intimate and familiar. It felt less like welcoming a guest and more like a daughter of the house coming home to her brother. It was our honor to welcome you into our temple. Thank you, Shreya, for bringing your light, your humility and your beautiful soul to Bungalow, added Vikas. The video opens with Shreya Ghoshal sharing a warm moment with Myshu as she hugs her affectionately. She is then seen joining Vikas Khanna in the festive preparations, helping with the decoration of Lord Ganesha. The singer also gets involved in making modaks for Ganesh Chaturthi, with Vikas guiding her through the process. The video captures Shreya enjoying the festive atmosphere and spending time with everyone. She also appears to relish the meal, making the celebrations feel warm and homely. Meanwhile, Shreya Ghoshal had recently taken her The Unstoppable Tour 2026 to Canada, marking the latest leg of her most extensive North American tour.

Shreya Ghoshal: Bairi Piya became such an important part of my journey as a singer
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 24 (IANS) Singer Shreya Ghoshal is all set to revisit a phrase that holds special significance in her musical journey with her upcoming song Bairi Piya, a track that helped her step into Hindi cinema in 2002. Shreya, who made her Bollywood playback debut with Bairi Piya from the iconic movie Devdas starring Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, took to Instagram to announce that she is returning to this phrase with a song of her own. Bairi Piya was the song that became such an important part of my journey as a singer, and today, years later, I am returning to this phrase with a song of my own, Shreya wrote as the caption. The singer said that this song is deeply close to her. Revealing the reason why, she wrote: This song is deeply personal, born from the artist I was, the artist I have become and a desire to explore a side of myself that feels freer and more instinctive.

AI: A Superhuman Assistant, Not a Replacement for Human Intellect
Artificial Intelligence has moved from the pages of science fiction into the ordinary rhythm of life. It writes emails, translates languages, detects diseases, designs images, analyses data and answers questions within seconds. It can imitate a journalists tone, a teachers explanation and even a poets imagination. With every new advancement, one question grows louder: is AI becoming superhuman, or is it preparing to replace human intellect altogether? The honest answer lies somewhere between excitement and anxiety. AI is undoubtedly superhuman in certain tasks. It can process enormous volumes of information, identify patterns invisible to the human eye and perform repetitive calculations without fatigue. A machine can examine thousands of medical images in a fraction of the time required by a doctor. It can analyse financial records, translate large documents and predict patterns in climate, traffic or disease. In terms of speed, scale and memory, humans cannot compete. But intelligence is not merely the ability to process information. Human intellect is also imagination, conscience, emotion, experience, intuition and the capacity to understand meaning. A machine may generate a convincing paragraph about grief, but it does not grieve. It may produce a speech on justice, but it does not suffer injustice. It may recommend a decision based on data, but it does not carry the moral burden of that decision. This distinction is important because much of the fear surrounding AI comes from treating intelligence as a single quality. It is not. Intelligence has many forms. There is mathematical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, emotional intelligence, social intelligence and moral intelligence. AI has made astonishing progress in some of these areas, especially those that depend on data and patterns. Yet it remains dependent on human beings for purpose, direction and values. The real danger, therefore, may not be that AI will suddenly become more intelligent than humanity in every sense. The greater danger is that humans may become careless, dependent and intellectually passive. If students use AI to complete every assignment, they may lose the habit of thinking. If journalists publish machine-generated material without verification, public trust will suffer. If governments use automated systems without transparency, technology may deepen inequality rather than solve it. AI does not understand truth in the way human beings do. It predicts what answer is likely to sound correct. That ability can be useful, but it can also produce confident errors. A machine can repeat bias present in the data on which it was trained. It can reproduce stereotypes, overlook local realities and present incomplete information with an appearance of certainty. This is especially serious in societies where access to reliable information is already uneven. For Jammu and Kashmir, the debate carries a particular significance. The region needs technology that can improve education, healthcare, agriculture, tourism and public administration. AI could help students in remote areas access learning resources. It could assist doctors in detecting illnesses earlier. It could support farmers with weather information and market analysis. It could help preserve Kashmiri languages, oral histories and cultural traditions that are at risk of being forgotten. At the same time, technological progress must not widen the gap between those who have access to digital tools and those who do not. Many young people still lack reliable internet, quality devices and digital literacy. If AI becomes central to education and employment without addressing these inequalities, it may create a new form of exclusion. The future cannot belong only to those who can afford the latest tools. There is also a serious question about employment. AI will certainly change the nature of work. Some routine jobs may disappear, while new professions will emerge. This has happened before with every major technological revolution. Machines transformed agriculture, manufacturing and communication, but they also created new industries. The difference now is the speed of change. Workers may not have enough time to acquire new skills unless governments, educational institutions and employers invest in continuous training. The answer is not to reject AI. History shows that societies rarely benefit from resisting useful technology altogether. The answer is to govern it wisely. Schools must teach students how to question, verify and use AI responsibly rather than simply banning it. Companies must be transparent about how automated systems make decisions. Governments must protect privacy, prevent discrimination and ensure that human oversight remains present in areas such as healthcare, policing, education and employment. Most importantly, human beings must decide what they do not want machines to replace. A teacher is not only someone who delivers information; a teacher inspires confidence and recognises a childs struggle. A doctor is not only someone who identifies symptoms; a doctor offers reassurance and understands fear. A journalist is not only someone who arranges facts; a journalist asks difficult questions and holds power accountable. These human responsibilities cannot be measured only by efficiency. AI may eventually surpass human beings in more areas of reasoning. That possibility should not be dismissed. But even a highly advanced machine will not automatically possess wisdom. Knowledge can tell us what is possible; wisdom tells us what is right. AI may help humanity reach the moon, cure diseases or build powerful systems. It will still be up to human beings to decide whether those achievements serve life or merely strengthen control. The future should not be imagined as a contest between humans and machines. It should be understood as a test of human maturity. AI can become a superhuman assistant, but only if human beings remain intellectually active and morally responsible. The machine may calculate faster, remember more and work longer. Yet the responsibility for how that power is used will remain ours. The question, then, is not whether AI will replace human intellect. It is whether humans will neglect their intellect by handing over every decision to AI. If we use technology to extend our curiosity, creativity and compassion, AI can become one of humanitys greatest tools. If we use it to avoid thinking, it may not replace human beingsbut it may make them less capable of thinking for themselves. ( The Author is a lecturer in HED and a columnist)

The appointments, detailed in an official press release from the partys central office, take effect immediately and cover organisational responsibilities across nearly all states and J&K.

Baijayant Jay Panda has been named state in-charge for Maharashtra, assisted by co-in-charges Amit Malviya, Sadanand Shet Tanavade and Kamaljeet Sahrawat. In Uttar Pradesh, Vinod Tawde will serve as state in-charge, with Jagadish Patel, Medha Kulkarni, Pradeep Verma and Anant Ojha as co-in-charges.

SC stays Allahabad HC order quashing students NSA detention
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the operation of the Allahabad High Court judgment, directing the recovery of Rs 5 lakh compensation from the salary of the Gautam Buddha Nagar District Magistrate and other officials for student activist Akriti Chaudhary's detention under the National Security Act (NSA). The apex court also stayed the High Court order, which quashed the student's detention under the NSA. A Bench of Justices Satish Chandra Sharma and NK Singh passed the interim order while hearing separate petitions filed by Gautam Buddha Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam and the Uttar Pradesh government challenging the judgment of the Allahabad High Court. The apex court granted permission to file the special leave petition (SLP) in the matter filed by Medha Roopam and issued notice to Akriti Chaudhary and other respondents. It also issued notice in the petition filed by the Uttar Pradesh government and other officials. Senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, appearing for Chaudhary, accepted notice on her behalf. The respondents were granted two weeks' time to file their replies. After hearing senior advocates Mukul Rohatgi, Colin Gonsalves and Solicitor General Tushar Mehta on the question of interim relief, the Supreme Court ordered that the operation of the impugned judgment, particularly paragraphs 27 to 33, will remain stayed until the matter is heard on merits. The Justice Sharma-led Bench posted both matters for further hearing on October 7, 2026. The Allahabad High Court, in its judgment passed on September 2, had allowed the habeas corpus petition filed by Chaudhary and held that her continued incarceration under the NSA was violative of her rights under Article 21. It directed that Chaudhary be set at liberty if she was not wanted in any other case and ordered payment of Rs 5 lakh compensation, to be recovered from the salary of the District Magistrate, Gautam Buddha Nagar, as well as other officials found responsible, ight down to the SHO of the Police Station who had prepared the initial report leading to her detention. The case arose from labour unrest in Gautam Buddha Nagar in April 2026, when workers protested over low wages, long working hours and inadequate pay. The Uttar Pradesh government had claimed that Chaudhary acted as an agent provocateur and that her activities and dissemination of information contributed to violence that erupted from April 13. However, Chaudhary had contended that the proceedings against her were an attempt to stifle her freedom of speech and expression and that there was no material warranting her detention under the stringent provisions of the NSA. The High Court observed that the alleged violence had commenced only after Chaudhary was taken into custody. It also examined WhatsApp conversations and stated that the state government had failed to identify a single message or video clip showing that she had incited violence or disclosed any conspiracy to provoke rioting, arson or destruction of property. The High Court further observed that the videos relied upon by the authorities showed people gathered peacefully and did not indicate that the crowd was armed or agitated. Any detention under the NSA is an exception. It is not a substitute to ensure that a person who may receive bail on account of merits of his case is still detained in custody under a concocted reasoning by the State, the High Court had said. It had also held that the grounds of detention were repetitive, speculative and are only opinion-based and lacked supporting material for the District Magistrate's conclusions. The High Court further observed that a notice issued under Section 130 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) appeared to have been prepared after Chaudhary's arrest, describing the procedure as ex post facto the arrest and nothing more than a sham. On the compensation issue, the High Court had criticised the conduct of the Gautam Buddha Nagar District Magistrate and observed that the officer was expected to carefully examine the material before invoking the NSA against a female student activist. It had said the conduct of the District Magistrate was worthy of derision and held that the officer had desired to set an example out of the petitioner and deter others from exercising their right to freedom of speech and expression in public spaces in support of the labourers. The High Court had further observed that the District Magistrate was guilty of violating his oath of allegiance and held that the case warranted compensation. It had also stressed that peaceful agitation is protected by the Constitution and compared the role of protests to a safety valve in a pressure cooker, helping release accumulated public grievances rather than allowing them to build up to a point where violence becomes inevitable.

Ktaka: Darshans wife Vijayalakshmi loses plea against Pradoshs approver status
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 23 (IANS) Karnataka High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition filed by Vijayalakshmi, wife of actor Darshan, challenging a trial court order allowing accused Pradosh Rao to turn approver in the Renukaswamy murder case. The High Court upheld the order passed by the 59th City Civil and Sessions Court (CCH), which had permitted Pradosh, the 14th accused in the case, to become an approver. A bench headed by Justice V. Srishananda said there was no reason to interfere with the trial courts order, noting that the defence would have the opportunity to question Pradosh during cross-examination. Senior advocate K. Diwakar appeared for Pradosh and argued that Darshans lawyers were attempting to delay the trial. He submitted that even after the approver application was filed, Darshan's lawyers repeatedly raised objections. He also argued that Pradosh had spoken over the phone as permitted under the prison manual. The judge observed that nothing was wrong with Pradosh speaking over the phone about his intention to become an approver. If I speak over the phone saying that I will become an approver, what is wrong with that? If a husband asks his wife for her opinion, what is wrong with that? If there is evidence of someone else instigating him, that is a different matter, the judge remarked. Senior advocate Hashmat Pasha, appearing for Darshan, argued that the 10th accused, Vinay, had also filed an application seeking to become an approver. Still, his plea was not considered while Pradoshs was taken up. The judge responded that it was for the 10th accused to raise that issue and that Darshans counsel could not argue on his behalf. Renukaswamy, a resident of Chitradurga, was allegedly abducted and brought to a shed in Bengalurus Patanagere in June 2024 after he allegedly sent obscene messages to Pavithra Gowda, an associate of Darshan, on Instagram. He was allegedly assaulted and killed at the shed. Police subsequently arrested 17 accused persons, including Darshan and Pavithra Gowda, in connection with the case. Pradosh, the 14th accused, faces allegations of helping destroy evidence and of financial transactions related to the crime. He had recently approached the court seeking permission to turn approver, stating that he was willing to disclose the complete truth about the case before the court. The CCH court had accepted his application and allowed him to become an approver. Vijayalakshmi subsequently approached the High Court challenging the trial courts decision through a writ petition.
