Air India pilot dies of cardiac arrest in Delhi hotel
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 12 (IANS) An Air India pilot died due to cardiac arrest while he was on a layover rest at a hotel in the national capital, a Tata Group airline statement said on Saturday. Air India said it was deeply saddened by the passing of a cockpit crew member in Delhi on Friday night. He was on a layover rest at a hotel in Delhi, where he was found unconscious last evening. He was rushed to the hospital immediately, where he was declared dead, the airline statement said. The officials said the pilot, who was earlier with Air India Express, was undergoing conversion training for operating wide-body Boeing 787 aircraft. Air India said it is in close touch with the pilot's family and is extending all support at this time of grief. The Mumbai-based pilot was found unconscious at the hotel on Friday evening and was immediately taken to a hospital, where he was declared dead. He had earlier worked with Air India Express and moved to Air India a couple of months ago. He was scheduled to operate a flight early on Saturday morning. On Friday evening, the pilots brother contacted the hotel manager after he failed to respond to his calls. The manager went to the room, which was locked from the inside, and opened it using the hotels master key. The pilot was found unconscious and unresponsive inside. According to Delhi Police, a PCR call was received at the Vasant Kunj North police station on Friday regarding the ill health of a guest at a hotel in the area. Police reached the hotel and found the pilot unconscious and unresponsive. He was shifted to a hospital, where he was declared brought dead. Air India Express operates a narrow-body fleet consisting of Boeing 737 aircraft (including the 737 MAX) alongside Airbus A320 family jets, and does not operate the wide-body Boeing 787 for its own core low-cost operations. The Boeing 737 is a narrow-body, single-aisle jet for short routes, while the Boeing 787 is a wide-body, twin-aisle jet built for long-haul international flights. Boeing requires a completely separate type rating and training programme for each distinct aircraft family, meaning pilots cannot simply transition without full retraining on simulators and systems. Pilots must adjust to a much larger flight deck, different handling characteristics, higher vantage points during taxiing, and different landing flare techniques.

Armaan Malik reacts to netizens saying that he & Amaal are ungrateful to Salman Khan
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 12 (IANS) Singer and composer Armaan Malik reacted to netizens saying that he and his brother, Amaal Malik are ungrateful to Salman Khan after Amaal recently called out Salman Khan Films team for not giving him credit in a post celebrating 11 years of the track'Main Hoon Hero Tera'from'Hero'. Amaal, who has composed the track, had shared a comment on the celebratory post, pointing out that he was not given his due credit. Later on, the post was edited with due credit to Amaal. A netizen slammed Amaal and his brother Amraan Malik, calling them 'ungrateful'. The X user wrote, Whah a shameful behavior from the two brothers.. the support they got should have gone to more grateful and worthy people. Armaan responded to this by asking the netizens to come up with an original song and later see them not being given their due credit. The singer and composer shared on the micro-blogging site, Id be curious to hear how that feels :) Dont talk about gratitude. Ive always been grateful for my beginnings, but I also know how hard it has been to reach where Ive reached. If we dont fight for our right, no one will. On Friday, Salman Khan Films shared the 11th anniversary post for 'Hero' that featured the track 'Main Hoon Hero Tera'. However, they left out the composer and lyricist of the song. Lashing out, Amaal commented, Whoever is handling the page or the social media of @skfilmsofficial, I love the audacity you have shown by leaving out the composer, & the lyricist of the song lol! It doesnt look nice that a song that is created with the pain, blood, sweat and tears of a music composer & his lyric writer, is celebrated without the creators being respected or even mentioned. Learn to do the basics otherwise delete this page. Dont delete my comment, let Salman sir see it as well, so that he knows you guys screwed up, he went on to add.

The singer had purchased the 3,082 sq ft commercial unit in November 2023 for Rs 14.30 crores. The latest transaction gives him a difference of Rs 3.70 crores over the purchase price, before accounting for applicable transaction-related costs.

Two car parking spaces were included as part of the deal. Based on the recorded carpet area and consideration value, the transaction works out to approximately Rs 58,404 per sq ft.

MahaYuti committed to resolving Maratha issues, says BJP's Pravin Darekar
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 12 (IANS) BJP legislator Pravin Darekar, a close aide of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Saturday highlighted the MahaYuti government's efforts towards addressing Maratha community concerns and appealed to quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil to ensure that the planned agitation in Mumbai remains peaceful and does not disrupt Ganeshotsav celebrations. He told the reporters that the administration has consistently extended full cooperation and engaged in multiple rounds of dialogue through delegations of ministers and senior leaders. Out of 14 demands raised, 12 have already been fulfilled. The remaining one or two demands are entangled in legal frameworks, and the government is making sincere efforts to resolve them, Darekar stated. The government has given everything requested for the community's welfare and remains fully prepared for further discussions to understand what additional steps are needed, he added. Highlighting the MahaYuti government's track record, Darekar claimed that no previous administration has done as much for the Maratha community as the current government under Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar. Addressing criticisms regarding government delegation visits, Darekar remarked that resolving the community's core issues takes priority over which specific leader visits the protest site. He pointed out that ministers such as Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, Uday Samant, and BJP legislator Prasad Lad had previously met with Jarange Patil to address concerns. While acknowledging the constitutional right to protest in Mumbai, Darekar urged the activist to consider the upcoming festive period. Noting that Mumbai celebrates Ganeshotsav on a massive scale, he requested that the demonstrations do not disrupt public life or traditional festivities. The Maratha community has historically demonstrated strength through peaceful and disciplined silent marches, Darekar said, adding, We urge the organizers to ensure that the protest remains peaceful and does not cause public disorder or distress during the festival. Reiterating the administration's stance, Darekar affirmed that the government remains ready to dispatch representatives and engage in constructive dialogue at any stage. Earlier, Jarange Patil announced a march to Mumbai to launch an indefinite hunger strike at Azad Maidan from September 19. Addressing a gathering at Antarwali Sarati, Jarange Patil declared the detailed route for the march and urged the police administration and Chief Minister and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis not to block their path. Jarange Patil stated that the march represents the pride and existence of the Maratha community. He appealed to supporters along the route to step out and offer their blessings, even if they are unable to travel all the way to Mumbai. He also called upon community members to halt work and join the movement on the specified dates. We want to conduct a peaceful, democratic hunger strike to claim our rights. If the police block us anywhere along the highway, we will not push barricades or clash with authorities. We will simply sit down peacefully on the road wherever we are stopped, he stated.

Kailash Kher on what makes a great love song truly impactful: It should come from your soul
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 12 (IANS) Renowned composer and singer Kailash Kher, who recently released the romantic number Tham Jaa, revealed what, according to him, makes a great love song truly impactful. While speaking exclusively to IANS, Kher said that when something comes from your soul and touches the listeners, they end up forgetting how many times they have heard the track on repeat. He was asked, What, according to you, is the identity of a great love song? You have been in the music industry for so many years. Is it beautiful lyrics, the voice of a melodious singer, or is it a healing quality that stays with the listener? Reacting to this, Kher explained, Whenever something is genuinely good, as I said, if something comes from your soul, then every word, every sound, every melody, and every emotion within it touches you. When that happens, you even end up forgetting how many times you have listened to it on repeat. You just keep playing and become immersed in it. He added that that is what we call being mesmerized. Kher was further asked, Through emotions and social realities, artists often speak about sensitive subjects. Do you think that while addressing sensitive issues, understanding the context is as important as protecting creative freedom? Kher told IANS that artists, by nature, are sensitive, and if someone who calls themselves an artist is not sensitive, they are a slanderer. The stage exists to win people's hearts. Talking nonsense, making meaningless statements, or simply trying to entertain people without sensitivity can be a sign of being a slanderer. But even satire or slander can be considered a form of art. Everyone has their own thoughts. But our thoughts are directed towards purity, he explained. If you genuinely have a good feeling, that feeling is meaningful only when your heart can feel sadness for someone else's pain, when you can make someone else happy while laughing, when your work can make someone else laugh and bring happiness to them. That is the identity of an artist, he added.

Soha Ali Khan shares why she keeps missing her 10k steps goal: After 2,467 obstacles, I give up
Soha Ali Khan has once again used social media to highlight the difficulties of navigating Mumbais roads and sidewalks. The actor, who is known for maintaining a regular fitness routine, recently shared a light-hearted video explaining why completing her daily target of 10,000 steps is not always as easy as it sounds. In the video shared on Thursday, Soha can be seen stepping out with the intention of finishing her daily walking goal. However, her attempt soon turns into a series of unexpected obstacles. As she makes her way along the road, she comes across animal poop on the sidewalk, a broken manhole cover, roadwork, a large crane and a man sleeping on the pavement. She also appears to point out situations where pedestrians may have to wait or carefully navigate the area to avoid accidents. After encountering several such hurdles, Soha eventually decides to abandon her walking plan and try again the following day. Sharing the clip on social media, she wrote, I really try to get in my 10k steps every day but after 2,467 obstacles, I give up. While the post was presented with humour, it also drew attention to the everyday challenges faced by pedestrians in the city. This is not the first time Soha has spoken about the condition of Mumbais roads and public spaces. Earlier in February, the Rang De Basanti actor had shared a video showing a damaged sidewalk near her neighbourhood. She pointed out the potential danger posed by the broken section, especially for pedestrians who could accidentally fall into it. Along with the video, she wrote, Just a relaxing evening stroll navigating sidewalks that collapse into death traps. Before that, Soha had also raised concerns about ongoing road construction in Mumbais Bandra area. She shared a picture showing her daughter Inaaya carefully standing on a muddy and damaged stretch of road surrounded by barricades, debris and construction material. Through her social media posts, Soha has repeatedly highlighted pedestrian safety and the difficulties caused by damaged sidewalks and ongoing roadwork in Mumbai.

Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra: Ludhiana Lions' medium pacer Krish Bhagat paid an emotional tribute to his grandfather, Bhagat Chunni Lal, after powering his team into the semifinals of the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League. Bhagat picked two wickets as the Lions defeated Amritsar Soormas by five wickets in a crucial clash at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. He later dedicated his wickets to his late grandfather Chunni Lal, who was also a former Punjab minister. Dadu passed away last night. He inspired me a lot, so I dedicated this wicket to him. He came from Pakistan and when he arrived in India, he did not even have a place to stay. His journey has inspired me a lot, and that is why I dedicated the wicket to him, he said. Krish, who made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians in 2026, began his journey in cricket at age 5. He comes from a family involved in the sports manufacturing business, as he developed an early interest in the game after seeing bats at the family factory. I was only five when I started playing cricket. Whenever I used to go to my familys sports manufacturing factory, there were bats there, and I used to get fascinated by them. I started insisting that I wanted to play cricket, so my family put me in an academy, and I kept playing, he said. The medium pacer further revealed that his family gave him complete backing to do whatever he chose and never put pressure on him to study. My family never put any pressure on me. They told me to commit 100 per cent to whatever I was doing, he said. Krish emphasised that, when he was growing up, his love was only for cricket, not for any other sport. I never really tried any other sport. There is such a big craze for cricket in India, and I enjoyed playing it with my friends. I used to go to the park and play cricket. As I started playing competitive cricket, I knew this was the sport I wanted to pursue, he added. The MI bowler then opened up on his experience of playing in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League, revealing that the state league has given him valuable experience, especially when it comes to adapting to different conditions and match situations. I am learning how to adapt to different situations and conditions. We have back-to-back matches and the pitch is being used a lot, so its behaviour keeps changing. Learning how to adapt to the conditions has been one of my biggest takeaways from this league, he said.

SEBI proposes changes to derivatives settlement, CAS framework
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 12 (IANS) The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed changes to settlement methodology for derivatives contracts, market timings and recently introduced operational aspects of the Closing Auction Session (CAS), according to consultation paper issued on Saturday. The market watchdog proposed two options for determining the settlement price of index and single-stock derivatives on expiry days. Under the first option, SEBI proposed a 'Blended VWAP' methodology under which the settlement price would be based on trades executed during the last 30 minutes of the Continuous Trading Session (CTS) and the 10-minute CAS period. The contribution of each period would be determined by its actual traded value instead of a fixed weighting, SEBI said. The regulator said the methodology would capture a broader period of actual market transactions and could provide a more representative settlement price. Incorporate actual transactions executed during both the last 30 minutes of CTS and 10 minutes of CAS for determination of the settlement price of the derivatives contracts on the expiry day, thereby reflecting a broader period of actual market transactions, it said. Under the second option, SEBI proposed retaining the existing CTS VWAP methodology as an interim arrangement. The settlement price would continue to be based only on trades executed during the final 30 minutes of CTS. The blended methodology could be considered after at least a year, subject to adequate liquidity, participation and familiarity with CAS, according to the market regulator. SEBI also proposed removing the display of the Indicative Index Value (IIV) during CAS while continuing to provide security-level Indicative Equilibrium Prices (IEPs). IEPs are indicative and evolving values and do not represent prices at which actual trades have taken place, SEBI said. The regulator added that some market participants had misinterpreted IIV, resulting in positions being taken based on the indicative value. In addition, on market timings SEBI proposed two alternatives. Under Option A, CTS for CAS stocks would continue until 3:30 pm, followed by CAS from 3:31 pm to 3:40 pm, while derivatives trading would continue until 3:45 pm. Under Option B, CTS would end at 3:15 pm with CAS running from 3:15 pm to 3:25 pm and derivatives trading continuing until 3:30 pm. Both alternatives would reduce the transition period between CTS and CAS from five minutes to up to one minute. The post-CAS derivatives trading window would also be cut to five minutes from 10 minutes. SEBI said market feedback indicated that a shorter trading window after CAS would be sufficient. Apart from that, the regulator proposed restricting the cancellation of limit orders placed beyond plus or minus 1 per cent of the reference price during CAS. Price-improving modifications would continue to be permitted within the existing plus or minus 3 per cent price band. An order placed at a price within 1 per cent of the Reference Price may be cancelled during CAS in accordance with the existing framework, it said. Moreover, SEBI suggested allowing unexecuted Iceberg orders at the end of CTS to be converted into normal limit orders with entire pending quantity disclosed in the CAS order book.

India becomes worlds 4th largest forex holder
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 12 (IANS) India has become the fourth largest holder of foreign exchange reserves in the world after the record surge in dollar inflows triggered by the Reserve Bank of Indias (RBIs) foreign currency non-resident (bank) (FCNR(B) deposits scheme, according to data. With the $44.9 billion increase in its forex kitty to a record $785.7 billion during the week ended September 4, India has dislodged Russia from the fourth spot and is now ranked only behind China, Japan, and Switzerland, the data compiled by Bloomberg showed. The record increase in the foreign exchange reserves has taken place despite a decline in the gold reserves component by $2.59 billion to $113.81 billion during the week as gold prices fell. An increase in the foreign exchange reserves reflects strong fundamentals of the economy and gives the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) more headroom to stabilise the rupee when it turns volatile. A strong forex kitty enables the RBI to intervene in the spot and forward currency markets by releasing more dollars to prevent the rupee from going into a free fall. Meanwhile, the RBI has announced a Rs 1 lakh crore open market operation (OMO) sale of government bonds to mop up the excess liquidity in the banking system that has resulted from the strong inflow of foreign currency. The RBI will sell government securities worth Rs 1 lakh crore in three tranches Rs 50,000 crore on September 17, Rs 25,000 crore on September 21, and another Rs 25,000 crore on September 28. The auctions will be conducted through the multiple-price method using a multi-security auction. Earlier, the Reserve Bank had raised over Rs 3.53 lakh crore through an overnight Variable Rate Reverse Repo (VRRR) auction with a 1-day tenor on Monday, to absorb surplus cash from the banking system. A VRRR auction is a monetary policy tool used by a central bank to absorb excess cash from the banking system and ensure financial stability in the economy. The RBI has stepped up liquidity absorption operations as the banking system has been flooded with funds following large inflows through the special FCNR(B) deposit scheme. RBIs special dollar-rupee forex swap facility for FCNR(B) deposits, Overseas Foreign Currency Borrowings (OFCB) and External Commercial Borrowings (ECB), launched on June 8 this year, has driven an unprecedented surge in foreign exchange inflows into the country to the tune of $73 billion in less than 11 weeks of the launch. The response was strong enough for the RBI to advance the closure of the FCNR(B) window itself, from September 30 to August 31, having already achieved its objective ahead of schedule.

Sources close to the unit had told IANS that the Mumbai schedule involved a prominent Bollywood actor. The inclusion of the national-level talent was expected to enhance the film's reach while strengthening its appeal across audiences nationwide. The upcoming film has triggered huge interest among fans and film buffs for a number of reasons. Directed by Rohith KP and produced by K Niranjan Reddy and Chaitanya Reddy under Primeshow Entertainment, the film is being mounted on a grand scale with a budget of 125 crore, making it the biggest project in Sai Durgha Tejs career. The unit had shot a spectacular action sequence choreographed by National Award winning stunt choreographer Peter Hein in September last year. Sources had then claimed that Sai Durgha Tej would face off against a Bollywood superstar, who would be seen in a powerful antagonist's role. Extensive CGI work is also progressing rapidly to elevate the cinematic experience. Actress Aishwarya Lekshmi will be seen playing the female lead in this film, which will also feature a huge star cast including actors Jagapathi Babu, Srikanth, Saikumar, Ananya Nagalla and Ravi Krishna. Sources claim Sai Durgha Tej has been working for the past two years on Sambarala Yeti Gattu, preparing for this transformative and emotionally intense role. The film is to release in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. Sources claim Sambarala Yeti Gattu will be a landmark Pan-India action drama.
