Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 30 (IANS) Singer Nick Jonas recently opened up about a hilarious behind-the-scenes moment involving his four-year-old daughter Malti Marie, recalling an almost awkward moment when the little one unexpectedly barged into their green room just before a show. In a podcast conversation, Nick recounted the incident involving Malti and his wife, actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas. He said the best part of the night was not the show itself, but what happened backstage when Malti decided to walk into the room where Nick, Kevin and Joe were getting ready. Recalling the incident, Nick said, The best part about the whole night was actually not the show and not trying to make anybody mad. Hold on. Its what happened during the show. Malti Marie and Priyanka were there and, you know, the protocol is to just sort of knock and then, but theres no door into the stage, its just curtains. You cant knock a curtain. He added, Malti was very excited and, obviously, shes four and a half, so she just kind of burst into the room. Luckily, we were all in our boxer briefs and stuff, tank tops, actually. She looks at us and she goes, Oh, you are in summer clothes. It was perfect. It was so funny. For the uninitiated, Priyanka and Malti have frequently been seen attending Nick's performances and supporting him from the audience. Just months ago, the mother-daughter duo were seen cheering and dancing at a Jonas Brothers concert, showing their support for Nick. Nick performs alongside his brothers Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas as part of the Jonas Brothers. Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas welcomed their first child, Malti Marie in January 2022 through surrogacy.

Dwayne Johnson mourns wrestler Benjamin Satterleys death: Hurts my heart
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 30 (IANS) Hollywood star and former wrestler Dwayne Johnson expressed grief over the death of British wrestler Benjamin Satterley, known by his WWE ring name Neville and later as PAC. Calling the loss of the 40-year-old wrestler heartbreaking, Johnson said the professional wrestling community remains a tight-knit unit despite being a global sport. In a video shared on social media, Johnson said: Man, it hurts my heart to do this. I want to descend out into the universe and to the Satterley family. My love and my condolences, my support, my light, my mana, as you are enduring the loss of your loved one, Benjamin Satterley. He went on to talk about Satterleys professional wrestling career, saying he had met him a few times and had shaken his hand. I believe he was 40, and I'm just so sorry to hear this news, he added. The Moana star said that despite the sports global reach, performers remain closely connected. As global as professional wrestling is, we're still a very tight-knit unit and a tight-knit group because we all share the same DNA, and that is our love and our passion for the squared circle and to perform for audiences around the world, and we're a little crazy, and that's okay, but when we lose one of our own, it hurts, and when they're young and so insanely talented, it really, it really hurts. And especially when a life is robbed, and you don't get that opportunity to live a full life, and I've lost a lot of friends, as we'd know. So, to my friend Tony Khan, I'm so sorry for your loss. Addressing the Satterley family directly, Johnson encouraged them to stay strong. Taking to the caption section: Hurts my heart, and sending my condolences, love, light and mana to the Satterley family. Despite pro wrestling being globally popular, its energy is still that of very unique subculture and breed of passionate performers who support each other because we all know the daily hardships and the nightly pressures of chasing squared circle dreams. Stay strong, Satterley family. And thank you for the house, Benjamin. On 27 September 2026, a passerby called 911 after finding Satterley slumped over and unresponsive in a rental car in the parking lot of a restaurant in Illinois. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics at the age of 40. The following day, a spokesperson for Des Plaines confirmed that there were no signs of foul play or trauma and Satterley's death didn't appear suspicious, with the official cause of death pending autopsy results.

Sensex, Nifty open flat tracking mixed global signals
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 30 (IANS) Domestic equity benchmarks opened flat on Wednesday tracking mixed global cues as investors remained cautious after foreign investors extended their selling streak to a fourth straight session. Nifty opened at 22,665, down about 50 points or 0.23 per cent. Sensex began trading at 72,441.15, lower by 87.92 points or 0.12 per cent. In early trade, the Nifty MidSmall IT & Telecom index was top sectoral gainer which rose more than 1 per cent. Meanwhile, Nifty PSU Bank, Nifty Chemicals, Nifty Oil & Gas, Nifty Cement and Nifty Media also jumped up to 1 per cent. In contrast, metal stocks were among the laggards with Nifty Metal falling 0.42 per cent. Healthcare and pharmaceutical indices were also marginally lower. Market experts said elevated US bond yields were contributing to foreign investor selling, while the recent correction had created attractive valuations in parts of the Indian market. From the Indian investors' perspective, this sharp correction in the market presents an opportunity. Largecaps with good growth prospects have reached attractive valuations, they said. Experts also noted that a correction in crude oil prices could trigger a market rally with largecap market leaders potentially leading such a move. Technical analysts said the market could attempt to stabilise after its recent decline, with buying emerging around key technical levels. Nifty had formed a hammer candle in the previous session, indicating buying interest at lower levels, while strength in select heavyweight stocks helped limit the decline. The near-term structure has improved towards sideways to mildly bullish following the reversal from 22,600. Immediate support is seen at 22,650-22,700, while resistance is placed at 22,950-23,000, according to the experts. On Tuesday, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) extended their selling streak to a fourth consecutive session, offloading equities worth nearly Rs 10,000 crore, according to provisional data. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) provided support, buying equities worth nearly Rs 7,000 crore. In addition, Asian markets were broadly positive in early hours despite a mildly weaker Wall Street session, while investors remained focused on upcoming US economic data and global market trends for further direction.

Jackie Shroff remembers legendary filmmaker Hrishikesh Mukherjee on his 104th birth anniversary
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 30 (IANS) Bollywood star Jackie Shroff remembered legendary filmmaker Hrishikesh Mukherjee on his 104th birth anniversary on Wednesday with a heartfelt tribute. Sharing a portrait of the late filmmaker, Jackie posted a simple message on his social media account that read, Remembering Hrishikesh Mukherjee ji on his birth anniversary, accompanied by folded-hands emoticons. Jackie also chose a classic song, Itna Na Mujhse Tu Pyaar Badha, as the background score for the post. Sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Talat Mahmood, the song was composed by Salil Chowdhury with lyrics by Rajendra Krishan, and is from the 1961 film Chhaya, starring Sunil Dutt and Asha Parekh. Hrishikesh Mukherjee was born on September 30, 1922, in Calcutta, and was often referred to as Hrishi-da. The legendary filmmaker Mukherjee carved out a distinctive and fine space between mainstream commercial cinema and the more realism of parallel cinema. His films mostly revolved around family, relationships, morality, friendship, illness, ambition and the everyday struggles of the Indian middle class, making it apt for family audiences . A filmmaker, editor and screenwriter, Hrishikesh Mukherjee began his career as an editor and worked closely with Bimal Roy before making his directorial debut with Musafir in 1957. His career went on to include classics like Anari, Anuradha, Chhaya, Asli-Naqli, Aashiq, Saanjh Aur Savera, Anupama, Gaban, Do Dil, Biwi Aur Makan, Majhli Didi, Aashirwad, Satyakam, Anand, Guddi, Bawarchi, Buddha Mil Gaya, Abhimaan, Namak Haraam, Chupke Chupke, Mili, Chaitali, Alaap, Khubsoorat, Gol Maal, Jurmana, Bemisal and Namak Haraam, among several others. His final directorial film was Jhooth Bole Kauwa Kaate, released in 1998. Among his many collaborations, his association with the the Bachchan family remains particularly significant. For the uninitiated, it was Hrishikesh Mukherjee who gave Jaya Bhaduri her breakthrough with Guddi, while Amitabh Bachchan's association with the filmmaker began with Anand. The two went on to work together in films including Abhimaan, Namak Haraam, Chupke Chupke, Mili, Alaap, Jurmana and Bemisal. Amitabh has previously described Mukherjee as his godfather in the film industry and praised his ability to tell simple stories in an engaging manner. For Jaya Bachchan, the relationship went well beyond that of an actor and filmmaker. She has always fondly remembered Mukherjee as Hrishikaku and has described him as a father figure who guided her throughout her career. Hrishikesh Mukherjee passed away in Mumbai on August 27, 2006, aged 83. He had been seriously ill for many years and was undergoing dialysis after being diagnosed with chronic renal failure.

Coast Guard busts transnational syndicate, seizes Rs 3,000 crore worth of narcotics
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Sep 30 (IANS) The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) and Gujarat's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) have busted a major maritime narcotics smuggling attempt in the Arabian Sea, seizing 526 kilograms of high-grade contraband valued at over Rs 3,000 crore in international markets, officials have said. In a swift and decisive maritime interdiction striking at the heart of transnational narco-terrorism networks, Bharatiya Tatrakshak, operating in seamless tactical synergy with the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), Gujarat, successfully neutralised a major maritime narcotics smuggling attempt in the Arabian Sea, west of Lakshadweep, the Indian Coast Guard said in a statement. Executing precise sea-air surveillance based on actionable intelligence, the Indian Coast Guard assets maintained unyielding tracking before initiating hot pursuit, neutralising the target, and boarding a suspicious Iranian dhow on September 25. The high-seas operation resulted in the seizure of approximately 526 kilograms of high-grade contraband, comprising heroin and methamphetamine, valued at over Rs 3,000 crore in international markets, alongside the swift apprehension of five Pakistani nationals operating the vessel, officials said. The ICG said that the intercepted dhow, crew, and seized contraband have been escorted under armed escort to Mumbai for joint interrogation and comprehensive multi-agency legal proceedings. This operational success exemplifies Bharatiya Tatrakshak's unyielding maritime dominance, robust surveillance grid, and resolute commitment to maintaining zero tolerance against illicit activities within India's sovereign waters and extended maritime zones, the ICG said. By crippling the financial engine of hostile foreign syndicates and intercepting toxic synthetic substances before they reach mainland shores, this mission serves as a critical force multiplier to the Union Government's national vision of a Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan. Bharatiya Tatrakshak remains fully postured to defend the nation's sea borders, shield the country's youth from the scourge of drugs, and uphold absolute security across the maritime domain, it added.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 30 (IANS) Actress Isha Rikhi, who recently exited the Bigg Boss 20 house after spending three weeks on the reality show, penned an emotional note on social media. Thanking her fans and supporters for standing by her through her intense and challenging experience, Isha wrote a heartfelt gratitude note. Sharing the message, Isha reflected on her time inside the house and acknowledged that the journey brought with it a mix of emotions, including moments when she struggled to express herself. Three weeks inside the Bigg Boss house three weeks of so many emotions, experiences, challenges, laughter, tears, and memories Ill carry with me forever, she wrote. Coming back has made me realise just how much your love and support means to me. Thank you to every single person who stood by me, believed in me, cheered for me, and even to those who didnt support me. Im grateful for every opinion, every message and every person who was a part of this journey in some way. The last few weeks were not easy for me. I had my emotional breakdowns, moments where I struggled to express myself, and moments where I probably didnt come across the way I wanted to. She added, I know I may have disappointed some of you, and if I did, Im genuinely sorry. Im still processing everything, understanding myself better and taking this whole experience as a learning. But one thing I want you all to know is that I felt your love, even when I couldnt express much myself. And that means more to me than I can put into words. Thank you for standing by me, for understanding me, and for continuing to support me. Im truly, truly grateful. Isha's emotional post comes shortly after her eviction from Bigg Boss 20. Her stint on the show had attracted considerable attention, mainly because she entered the house soon after announcing her separation from rapper Badshah. For the uninitiated, Badshah and Isha announced in August that they had mutually decided to part ways after a brief marriage. In their joint statement, the two requested privacy and asked people to refrain from speculation about their relationship. During her time inside the Bigg Boss house, Isha largely avoided directly discussing Badshah but her personal life continued to become a topic of conversation among the contestants.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan obliges to paps' request, asks them to pose for a group selfie
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 30 (IANS) Global icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was seen striking a warm interaction with the paparazzi on Tuesday night. A video on social media shows the actress obliging photographers as she made her way towards her car after returning from Paris Fashion Week. In the video, Aishwarya is seen signing an autograph for a fan before stopping to acknowledge the paparazzi waiting to photograph her. Rather than simply posing for individual pictures, the actress had a sweet suggestion for the photographers. Addressing them, she said, Aao sab log ek photo lete hain (Come, lets all take a picture together) The paparazzi appeared delighted by Aishwaryas gesture as she made sure everyone could be part of the photograph. Aishwarya has just returned from Paris where she walked the runway in a dramatic velvet creation with a crystal-embellished cape. The actress, who has been married to actor Abhishek Bachchan since 2007, is part of one of Bollywoods most prominent families. Her equation with the paparazzi also makes for an interesting contrast with her mother-in-law Jaya Bachchans who is often stirring headlines for her complicated relationship with photographers. Jaya has openly spoken about her discomfort with paparazzi culture and has often objected when photographers flock around her or photograph her in private moments. Jaya has also made it clear that she is willing to pose when photographers maintain a proper distance and allow her to approach them on her own terms. Meanwhile, Aishwarya made news recently when she was spotted at the airport while heading to Paris, without her daughter Aaradhya. The little girl never fails to accomany her mother at many events and travels, but this time around she seems to have given it a miss.

Lehs high-altitude flowers reach national markets
Leh, September 29: Ladakh has taken its first major step towards commercial floriculture with the dispatch of 15,000 premium-grade Lilium stems from Leh to major flower markets in Delhi, Mumbai and Chandigarh. Lieutenant Governor Ladakh, Vinai Kumar Saxena, flagged off the first consignment at Leh Airport on Monday, marking the beginning of efforts to develop high-value floriculture as an alternative source of livelihood and entrepreneurship in the Union Territory. The flowers have been cultivated at an altitude of around 10,600 feet at the Lilium field in Choglamsar, described as the worlds highest-altitude flower field. The consignment includes red, pink, white, yellow and orange varieties. The A-grade stems, each carrying four to five buds, are considered premium cut flowers and have a shelf life of around five to seven days. Liliums can fetch around Rs 150 to Rs 200 per stem in domestic retail markets, particularly in the floral and hospitality sectors. The project has also generated local employment, with 15 women engaged in cutting, sorting and packaging of the flowers at a daily wage of Rs 900. A local qualified botanist has been assigned the task of marketing the produce in national markets. Speaking on the occasion, LG Saxena described the initiative as a significant step towards diversifying agriculture in Ladakh and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for farmers and youth. The administration is now planning to expand the model beyond Leh. Deputy Commissioners of Kargil, Drass, Sham, Changthang and Zanskar have been asked to identify at least 20 acres of land each for high-value flower cultivation. The administration aims to bring around 200 acres under floriculture by next year. The Leh flower field, comprising more than 25 lakh Lilium blooms, was developed in a short period of around two months. Its foundation was laid on June 22, plantation began on July 16, and the field was opened to the public on September 17. The first commercial consignment was dispatched from Leh on September 29, marking a new phase in Ladakhs efforts to link high-altitude agriculture with national markets.
