Housing sales fell 6 per cent to 1.03 lakh units in the July-September quarter across nine major cities, mainly due to subdued demand and lower fresh supply of homes, according to PropEquity.

BJP targets Cong over Revanth Reddy's 'Gandhi Parivar' remark
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 26 (IANS) BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Congress after Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy described the political contest in the country as a fight between the Sangh Parivar and the Gandhi Parivar during an event in Keralas Nilambur. Bhandari shared a video of the event on X in which Reddy stated that a political fight exists between the Sangh Parivar and the Gandhi Parivar. Reddy also expressed his readiness to sacrifice his life for the Gandhi Parivar. Reacting to the remarks, Bhandari alleged that the Congresss primary political objective was to bring the Gandhi family back to power. In his post on X, the BJP national spokesperson wrote: Congress has now openly admitted that, for them, the fight is to get the 'Gandhi family' in power. The truth is out in the open. This has nothing to do with Vote Chori, the Election Commission, the Constitution, or democracy. The Congress partys real objective is to bring the Gandhi-Vadra family back to power. For Congress, Parivarwad first, & Parivarwad only. Bhandari went on to invoke several historical and political issues while criticising what he described as the record of the Gandhi-Vadra familys rule. He cited the Emergency, the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Indias response to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. He also raised issues concerning Indias opportunity to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, the countrys economic position and poverty levels. The BJP national spokesperson concluded his post by contrasting the two parties stated priorities, writing: For the BJP: Nation First. For Congress: Family First! Bhandaris remarks came in response to Reddys comments in Nilambur, where the Telangana chief minister referred to the political confrontation as a contest between the Sangh Parivar and the Gandhi Parivar. The BJP spokesperson used Reddys remarks to accuse the Congress of putting family politics ahead of issues such as the Election Commission, the Constitution and democracy. The exchange highlights the political disagreement between the BJP and Congress over the role of the Gandhi family and the broader question of Parivarwad in Indian politics. While Reddy spoke of the political fight between the two parivars, Bhandari interpreted the remarks as evidence of what he described as the Congresss focus on bringing the Gandhi-Vadra family back to power.

Maha CM's wife Amruta, daughter Divija join Juhu beach clean-up drive day after Ganesh Visarjan
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' daughter Divija Fadnavis and his wife, Amruta Fadnavis, on Saturday participated in the Divyaj Foundation's annual 'Sea Shore Shine 2026' beach clean-up drive at Juhu Beach, a day after Ganesh Visarjan. Speaking to reporters, Divija Fadnavis said it was important for young people to participate in social initiatives such as beach clean-up drives as they help foster a sense of responsibility towards the nation. I think it's very important for the youth and younger generation to be involved in social initiatives like beach clean-ups, because it gives us a sense of responsibility towards our nation and builds confidence in ourselves to ensure that we keep our beaches and our nation clean, she said. BMC Commissioner Ashwini Bhide also joined the clean-up drive at Juhu Beach to promote environmental awareness and cleanliness. The campaign was organised under the leadership of Divyaj Foundation founder Amruta Fadnavis. Actor Ajay Devgn also participated in the initiative and said he wanted to support the campaign because of its creative approach. Because this is a creative initiative. I wanted to thank the whole team, so I want to be a part of it, and I am a part of it, Devgn said. Speaking to IANS, BJP MLA Ram Kadam said Amruta Fadnavis, through the Divyaj Foundation, had been working for the cleanliness of the beach for the past six years and personally participated in the clean-up efforts. Several NGOs and spiritual organisations are also associated with this initiative. This is a great work. The immersion has been completed, but we ourselves should keep our city clean, Kadam said. Ganesh Visarjan was observed on Friday, September 25, coinciding with Anant Chaturdashi. The occasion marks the conclusion of Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, when devotees bid farewell to Lord Ganesha after bringing idols home or installing them in public pandals. The immersion of idols, accompanied by devotional songs, prayers and offerings, marks the departure of the deity, with devotees seeking Lord Ganesha's blessings before bidding him farewell until the following year. Environmental concerns surrounding idol immersion have also highlighted the need for post-immersion clean-up drives. The use of non-biodegradable materials, paints and other substances in idols can affect water quality, aquatic ecosystems and marine life. Such initiatives aim to remove waste from beaches and promote greater public awareness about keeping marine and river ecosystems clean.
Nifty, Sensex dip for 7th week amid high crude prices, bond yields
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) The Indian equity benchmarks posted notable losses for the seventh consecutive week, as crude prices stayed elevated and US bond yields surged. Nifty declined 0.88 per cent during the week and added 0.34 per cent on the last trading day to reach 23,140. At close, Sensex was up 315 points, or 0.43 per cent, at 73,895. It lost 0.54 per cent during the week. Markets came under heavy selling pressure midweek as benchmarks slid over 1.6 per cent on Thursday before a modest rebound on Friday driven by value buying. Brent crude stayed above the $105-per-barrel mark for most of the week, while WTI crude also remained elevated above $90 per barrel amid continued geopolitical uncertainty and concerns over global oil supplies. However, oil prices moderated toward the end of the week, and eased global risk sentiment, concerns of pressure on the import bill, inflation expectations, the rupee and corporate input costs. Analysts said that the global bond market continued to add pressure, with the US 10-year Treasury yield moving above 5.10 per cent during the week. Elevated yields continue to tighten global financial conditions and can reduce the relative attractiveness of emerging market assets, they added. Foreign institutional selling has intensified significantly compared with previous weeks and has become a major headwind for domestic equities. Meanwhile, Iran has submitted a new seven-day proposal to the United States to end the ongoing conflict and reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz if Washington lifts its naval blockade, waives oil sanctions and agrees to a broader ceasefire. The 23,000 zone remains the immediate support area for Nifty, while the 23,200 region remains the immediate resistance zone, said analysts. Market participants are also keen on the trajectory of rupee, with persistent oil-related demand for dollars and continued FII outflows potentially keeping the currency under pressure, although RBI intervention has helped contain excessive volatility.

U2 return to Dublin school where band was formed 50 years ago
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) Irish rock band U2 marked a special homecoming as they returned to the school in Dublin where they were formed 50 years ago and shared the stage with the young musicians. Taking to Instagram, U2, whose setlist included hits such as I Will Follow, Vertigo and With Or Without You, Silencio, shared a few glimpses from the schoolyard concert at Mount Temple Comprehensive School. The band wrote in the caption: What a privilege it was to return to Mount Temple where our journey first began, 50 years later, and share the stage with the extraordinary young musicians of Music Generation. U2 comprises Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style has evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic quality built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's chiming, effects-based guitar sounds. Bono's lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical themes. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several elaborate tours over their career. The band was formed when the members were teenaged pupils of Mount Temple Comprehensive School and had limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed with Island Records and released their debut album, Boy. Works such as their first UK number-one album, War, and singles Sunday Bloody Sunday and Pride (In the Name of Love) helped establish U2's reputation as a politically and socially conscious group. Their fourth album, The Unforgettable Fire, was their first collaboration with producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, whose influence resulted in a more abstract, ambient sound for the band. By the mid-1980s, U2 had become renowned globally for their live act, highlighted by their performance at Live Aid in 1985. Their fifth album, The Joshua Tree made them international stars and was their greatest critical and commercial success.

SEBI restrains Omaxe, promoter-linked entities from markets for violation of MPS norms
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has found real estate developer Omaxe Ltd and certain promoterlinked entities liable for routing company and group funds to acquire Omaxe shares in 2013 offer-for-sale (OFS), a move which allegedly faked compliance with minimum public shareholding norms. In an order, the market regulator said Omaxe indirectly provided financial assistance for the purchase of its own shares and allegedly restrained the company from accessing the securities market for three months. Promoter Rohtas Goel, his brothers Sunil Goel and Jai Bhagwan Goel, and promoterlinked firms Dream Home Developers and Guild Builders were restrained for one year. SEBI said the noticees are prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise dealing in securities (including units of mutual funds), directly or indirectly, or associated with the securities market in any manner during the period of debarment. SEBI imposed penalties of Rs 27 lakh on Omaxe, Rs 37 lakh each on Rohtas, Sunil and Jai Bhagwan Goel, and Rs 27 lakh each on Dream Home Developers and Guild Builders. The regulator said funds totalling Rs 46.5 crore originating from Omaxe and group entities were routed through DVM Realtors, Garv Buildtech and Jeet Builders to several entities. These funds were used to subscribe to shares in two offerforsale tranches on June 3 and October 29, 2013. The resultant misrepresentation of the shareholding pattern misled investors and the market at large regarding the true ownership structure and the companys compliance status, the order said. Noticees are allowed to close out or square off any open position in any exchange traded derivative contracts, as on the date of the order, within 3 months from the date of order or at the expiry of such contracts, whichever is earlier.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) Actors Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi recently opened up about their initial apprehensions about stepping into the shoes of real-life personalities renowned public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and his wife Jyoti Nikam m in their upcoming film Prahaar. Appearing on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 alongside former Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, the actors spoke about the challenges of portraying people who are alive and whose lives and personalities are known to the public. During the conversation, host and Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan highlighted the difficulty involved in portraying real-life personalities on screen. Rajkummar revealed that he was initially nervous when director Avinash Arun approached him for the role of Ujjwal Nikam, particularly because of the difference in their age, physicality and voice. Sharing how he overcame his apprehensions, Rajkummar said, Sir, pehli baar jab mujhe Avinash Arun joh humare director hain film ke unhone jab bola ki yeh film ban rahi hain aur Maddock ke sath ban rahi hain toh main darr gaya ki kaise Ujjawalji ka role nibhauga kyuki age ka difference hain, physicality ka difference hain, and awaz ka difference hain. Par main aise manta hoon ki jiss cheez se darr lagta hain toh usko zaroor karna chahiye toh heen aap khud ko push karte ho nahi toh aap humesha comfort mein heen rahenge as an artist. (Sir, when I was first told by Avinash Arun, who is the director of our film, that this film was being made with Maddock, I got scared about how I would play Ujjawalji's role because there is an age difference, a difference in physicality, and a difference in voice. But I believe that whenever you are afraid of something, you should definitely do it, because that is how you push yourself; otherwise, as an artist, you will always remain in your comfort zone) Rajkummar said he spent hours of hours watching Nikam's videos to understand his mannerisms and voice. He also underwent a physical transformation for the role, gaining weight to resemble the public prosecutor. Toh maine Arun ko kaha ki karte hain film, par main Ujjawalji ko nahi mil paya because voh kaafi busy rehte hain par maine YouTube pe inke videos dekhe, toh maine hours of hours inke video dekhe aur Ujjawalji ke voice ko pakadna bohot mushkil tha aur fir maine vajjan badaya physicality keliye, Rajkummar added. (So I told Arun, let's do the film. But I couldn't meet Ujjawalji because he is quite busy. However, I watched his videos on YouTube, and I watched hours and hours of his videos. Capturing Ujjawalji's voice was very difficult, and then I gained weight for the physicality) Wamiqa Gabbi, meanwhile, revealed that she too initially hesitated to take up the role of Jyoti Nikam. Sir, inki tarah main bhi darr gayi thi aur maine toh pehle film keliye mana kar diya tha because ek toh I had to play a 50-year-old and meri toh abhi tak shadi bhi nahi hui aur vaha toh baache hain 22-23 saal ke, Wamiqa said. (Sir, just like him, I was also scared, and I had actually refused the film initially because one, I had to play a 50-year-old, and I am not even married yet, whereas she has children who are 2223 years old) She, however, decided to take up the challenge after reminding herself that stepping outside one's comfort zone is necessary as an actor. Fir vahi baat ki jiss cheez se darr lage voh karna chahiye aur maine bhi socha ki main bhi dekhlu ki main kitne paani mein hoon. Par Jyoti Ma'am itni pyaari hain ki later I realised ki main kitne strong insaan ka role play kar rahi hoon, she added. (Then I thought about the same thing, that you should do the things that scare you, and I also thought, let me see what I am capable of. But Jyoti Ma'am is such a lovely person that later I realised what a strong person I was portraying) Talking about Prahaar, the movie is a biographical courtroom drama based on the life and career of public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, who has been associated with msny high-profile criminal cases. The film is directed by Avinash Arun Dhaware and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films. Alongside Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, the film features Jaideep Ahlawat and Sikandar Kher in pivotal roles. The film explores Nikam's professional journey and his involvement in major criminal trials, including the prosecution connected with the 1993 Mumbai bombings and the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on October 16, 2026.
Sylvester Stallone: Rhinestone is my favorite film Ive ever done besides Rocky
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone has called the musical Rhinestone one of his favourite films after Rocky, reminiscing about the fun he had with his late co-star Dolly Parton as he urged streaming platforms to bring the 1984 comedy back. Sylvester took to Instagram, where he shared a string of clips and pictures from the film, which also stars Richard Farnsworth and Ron Leibman. Believe it or not, Rhinestone is my favorite film Ive ever done - besides Rocky, of course! Because its the one where Dolly and I just had a ball. And now I cant find it streaming anywhere, Stallone wrote as the caption. He added: This special movie needs to see the light of day! In honor of Dolly Parton Day, lets get this on streaming. Swipe through to see some of my favorite scenes. Rhinestone is based on the 1975 hit song Rhinestone Cowboy written by Larry Weiss. Although a critical and financial failure, the film spawned two top 10 country hits for Parton on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The film follows a country singer Jake Farris, who tries to get out of her contract with her obnoxious manager, Freddie, bets that she can turn the next person she sees into a Nashville-style crooner. Unfortunately, the next person she sees is cocky New York City cabbie Nick, who can't sing a note. Undaunted, she brings her new protg to her tiny Tennessee hometown to train him in all things country, while her ex-boyfriend tries to win her back. Stallone on September 25 spoke about his experience working with late country music icon Dolly Parton, calling her one of a kind and praising her as the greatest in a heartfelt social media tribute. Talking about Parton, she passed away on August 25 at the age of 80. Her nephew, Bryan Seaver, who was also her head of security, revealed the news in an Instagram video. The video was shared on the late singers page.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) Actress Soha Ali Khan gave fans a glimpse into a heartwarming Ganesh Chaturthi celebration at home with daughter Inaaya Naumi Kemmu.

In the video shared on her social media account, Soha, Inaaya and Kunal Kemmu are seen coming together to make and celebrate an eco-friendly Ganpati Bappa. The video captures Inaaya getting hands-on with the festivities as she makes a small Ganpati idol using clay. Kunal is also seen helping with the idol-making process. In another part of the video, Soha sits alongside Inaaya as the little one participates in the immersion ritual. The family is seen choosing an eco-friendly way to bid farewell to Bappa.

Once the clay idol dissolves, the water is then used to nourish the plants. The video shows Inaaya participating in the ritual with her mother and doing Pooja. Soha shared the video and wrote: From our hands to our home, and from our home back to the earth. A little Ganpati, a lot of love.

4 from Mumbai killed on e-way as SUV hit parked truck
Uttarakhand Premier League: Uttarakhand Premier League (UPL) Chairperson Sunil Joshi on Friday said the franchise league is rapidly evolving into a vital feeder system for the state's aspiring talent, as it opens up pathways for players to feature in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Womens Premier League (WPL), and the national teams. UPL is a platform for players. It gives them a pathway to move towards the India level and potentially the IPL. There are several state-level competitions, including Ranji Trophy and Under-19 cricket, but UPL gives opportunities to players who may not have been selected for those teams. They get a chance to play for one of the teams and showcase their talent, Joshi said in a statement by the tournament on Friday. Our aim is to give these young players as many opportunities as possible so that they can improve themselves, make Uttarakhand proud and eventually reach the India level. We want their talent to be recognised and for them to go on to represent India, he added. Citing the rise of players like Mumbai Indians pacer Akash Madhwal, along with women's cricketers Raghvi Bisht, Prema Rawat, Nandini Kashyap and Neelam Bhardwaj, Joshi pointed out that the tournament provides a crucial bridge between grassroots cricket and high-performance environments. We have seen players like Raghvi Bisht, Prema Rawat, Neelam Bhardwaj and several other young cricketers coming through the system. There are also players from UPL who have gone on to play in the IPL. We have seen the example of Akash Madhwal as well, and many other youngsters are moving forward, he said. Highlighting the scale of player engagement in the current edition, Joshi noted that having seven franchises has led to more playing opportunities across the state. That is exactly what we want from UPL. There are seven teams and around 77 players getting an opportunity through those teams. If you compare that with the limited number of places available in a Ranji team, UPL gives a much larger pool of players the opportunity to showcase their talent. Joshi also praised the states talent identification process, which actively scouts prospects from remote and mountainous regions before integrating them into the district and state framework. The system works from the village level to the district level and then from the district to the state. Children who play cricket in villages are identified and brought into the district system. Even if the facilities at that level are limited, the children continue to work hard and develop their skills. After that, they get the opportunity to come to bigger grounds and showcase their talent. Ultimately, their hard work is what takes them forward. Prema Rawat is one such example of a player who has come through a challenging background and reached this level, he said, while acknowledging the administrative efforts of former secretary Mahim Verma and PC Verma in building Uttarakhand's cricket ecosystem. Joshi signed off by expressing confidence that the league will continue to produce future stars for Indian cricket. Most of the boys playing are around 19 or 20 years old, and they simply need opportunities to play at this level. UPL is providing them with that chance. There are one or two quality players in every team, which is why the matches are so competitive, and we are seeing close contests. After that, they get the opportunity to come to bigger grounds and showcase their talent. Ultimately, their hard work is what takes them forward. Prema Rawat is one such example of a player who has come through a challenging background and reached this level, he said, while acknowledging the administrative efforts of former secretary Mahim Verma and PC Verma in building Uttarakhand's cricket ecosystem. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories I have closely followed the tournament. I have seen a lot of talent among the people and young players here. They needed a stage to showcase that talent, and UPL is providing them with that platform. Article Source: IANS

Tech can't replace on-field decision-making; need to blend with old-school methods: Zaheer Khan
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 25 (IANS) Asserting that modern cricket technology cannot substitute human presence of mind during high-pressure match situations, newly-appointed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Zaheer Khan said his coaching philosophy revolves around empowering players and balancing data with old-school, on-field adaptability. On Monday, five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions CSK announced Zaheer as their new head coach after Stephen Fleming left the role in July. Being at CSK will also mark Zaheers first stint as head coach of a cricket team. A good listener, realistic, and very empowering (as a coach). I think it's about understanding the pressures and the new dynamics of T20. The game is evolving with every year passing by, and it's about staying ahead of the curve. So, when I look back, what CSK has achieved over the years is predominantly staying ahead of the curve, understanding and adapting to different situations, Zaheer said in a video posted on the franchises YouTube account on Friday. Before coming to CSK, Zaheer served as the mentor of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025 and was with the Mumbai Indians from 2018 to 2022 as director of cricket and later became global head of development. That's something which was standing out right throughout the years. So, it's about building on that. It's about evolving with the changing times and creating that faith within the whole group to take things forward, added Zaheer, the 2011 ODI World Cup winner. Cautioning young players against relying excessively on analytics, Zaheer stated that real-time situational awareness remains the single most critical factor once a cricketer steps onto the field. I think when you talk about youngsters, when you're looking at cricket, it's about what you do on the field. It's about how quickly you understand and adapt. One thing which I've been very vocal about in modern-day cricket is the technology playing a big role, and it's taking away a whole lot from on-ground thinking. The adaptability, the situational awareness - all those kinds of aspects that you talk about and for youngsters, it's very important to keep up with that. So, for me, it's about encouraging conversations and learning through those conversations. It's something which is, in a way, very old-school thinking. But I think if you're able to balance what's happening currently with the decision-making on the field, it'll work as a good blend to achieve something special, he added. Elaborating further on the limitations of technology, Zaheer pointed out that no software can replicate common sense or guide a player through dynamic game shifts. It's very important that you use the technology, data, and analyse things. But when it comes to actually going out there on the field and doing it, you've got to have that presence of mind. You've got to be able to layer it with various aspects, be it the pressures that play on, be it the situation, and sometimes the common sense that you have to use. It's something that goes differently with every game. Every game is not going to be comparable to the previous one with regard to a particular situation. So, I think that's something tech will not be able to take you there. You don't yet have a tech who is moving with you as the game is moving along. So, in the field, it's you who is in charge, and it's you who is going to take that decision. So, you've got to be ready with that kind of approach and attitude, he asserted. Laying out his immediate roadmap for CSK in IPL 2025, Zaheer stressed that former captain MS Dhoni's guidance will remain pivotal while working alongside a young captain in Ruturaj Gaikwad and a settled squad. Well, I think, like I mentioned, conversations and understanding. It's a settled franchise. It's been years; a lot of processes are already in place. So, MS guidance, I think, is going to be very crucial. You look at the team management's vision. That is something which is going to be equally important in how you're setting the whole vision with regard to going forward from here. It's a new setup. So, there's going to be some learning. So, you talk about all those. The young captain, how he's going to shoulder the responsibility. How he's going to empower himself and the experience in the squad. How you can make them the leaders in their own way as a think tank to take things forward for this franchise, he concluded.

SBI Waives ATM Charges During Three-Day Nationwide Bank Strike
Mumbai, September 25: State Bank of India (SBI) has announced that customers will not be charged for ATM transactions from September 28 to 30, in view of the proposed three-day nationwide bank strike. The move is aimed at ensuring uninterrupted access to banking services during the strike period. SBI said its banking services would remain available to customers despite the planned industrial action. According to the bank, ATM charges will be waived for transactions made at any bank's ATM during the three-day strike. SBI has also announced that all its branches will remain open on Sunday, September 27, to help customers manage their banking requirements ahead of the strike. Digital payment services, including UPI, IMPS, RTGS and NEFT, are also expected to continue operating normally throughout the strike period. The government has directed public sector banks to remain operational on Sunday, September 27, as part of measures to minimise disruption to banking services. The Reserve Bank of India has approved the operation of bank branches, offices, ATM-link branches and currency chests on the day. The Finance Ministry said all public sector banks and Regional Rural Banks would function normally on Sunday. The proposed strike has been called by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) for September 28-30. With September 26 and 27 falling on the preceding weekend holidays, the industrial action could otherwise have resulted in banking services being affected for five consecutive days. The government and bank managements have appealed to the unions to defer the strike and have announced measures to ensure that essential banking services remain available to the public. The Finance Ministry said the steps were being taken to protect the interests and convenience of bank customers and minimise the impact on economic activity.

Arjun Das says his #Love character is stubborn about chemistry
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 25 (IANS) Actor Arjun Das, who predominantly works in Tamil cinema, has said that his character of Matthew in the upcoming series #Love is stubborn about chemistry. The series follows Meet Tara and Matthew, two single, rival dating-app founders, played by Aishwarya Lekshmi and Arjun Das, who've built entire businesses helping others find their happily-ever-afters while their own love lives stay unsolved and mildly ironic. Talking about his part, Arjun Das added, What drew me to Matthew was how stubborn he is about chemistry. He's a hopeless romantic hiding behind a chill guy exterior, and he's convinced compatibility is just a fancy word people use when they're scared to take a real chance. It was such a fun character to sink into, especially opposite Aishwarya, who brought so much wit and warmth to Tara. He further mentioned, Working with her made a strong case for compatibility, too! This story is unlike anything I've done before, and having Balaji's instincts as a director alongside Soundarya's vision for the show, and Netflix backing it, really shaped that. They knew exactly when to let a scene breathe and when to bring in the lighter moments. The series is a fresh take on connection in a digital world, tackling friendship, family, ambition, and the eternal chaos of figuring yourself out. Aishwarya Lekshmi said, Tara felt closest to the women I know and admire in real life. Playing her was such a joy, she is emotionally layered, ambitious and hardworking; she struggles, she falls, and yet she keeps building, all while trying to make sense of her own love life. She has built her entire career on the belief that love can be figured out, and then life throws her the one variable she simply cannot control. That hit a little too close to home. Working beside Arjun came so easily, and the chemistry flowed naturally between us from day one. And getting to do all this under Balajis direction, with Soundaryas vision guiding it, made the whole experience feel like it was in the safest hands possible. Im so excited for audiences worldwide to see this story, it's yours, its mine, its today's #Love story, she added. The series is produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth and directed by Balaji Mohan. It is written by Nirmal Williams, with Sharada Subramanian and Shweta Chakravarty as co-writers, and produced by May6 Entertainment Factory. The series is set to drop on October 2 on Netflix.

'Are they being humiliated?': Union Minister Athawale questions suicides by SC students
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 25 (IANS) In the wake of the unnatural death of an IIT Bombay student, Union Minister of State (MoS) for Social Justice and Empowerment and RPI-A chief Ramdas Athawale on Friday flagged the growing number of student suicides at the prestigious institute, while questioning whether attempts were being made to humiliate Scheduled Caste students, forcing them to take the extreme step. The Union Minister raised the question during a visit to the IIT Powai campus, where second-year student Sahil Wakode committed suicide earlier this month, allegedly over caste-based discrimination and harassment, as claimed by his parents. At least four students have committed suicide here in the last two to three years. Out of those, three students were from the Scheduled Caste community. So, the question of whether any discrimination is taking place here was also raised by us during a meeting with the Dean. Why are Scheduled Caste students committing suicide? Is there an attempt being made to humiliate them? Athawale said while speaking to reporters. He spoke about writing to Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi regarding the incident. I am also going to write a letter to Pralhad Joshi, our Minister, and will be meeting him as well. Why is this happening in an institution like IIT? Why are students committing suicide? Extremely bright students come here, securing their ranks among lakhs of candidates, Athawale said. Further, the RPI-A chief demanded the immediate suspension of Prof Suryanarayana Doolla, who was the invigilator in the examination where Sahil was allegedly caught cheating and had subsequently confiscated his mobile phone. We have made this demand, and a full investigation should also be conducted independent of the IIT administration, he added. Also, Athawale added he had visited the deceased student's hostel room, but it was locked due to the ongoing police investigation into the case. Getting admission to an IIT is very difficult. Among at least 1.5 million students, he (Wakode) was ranked around 631st on the merit list. He was a smart boy. However, on the 18th, during his semester exam, the professor raised an objection against him, claiming he was copying, and confiscated his mobile phone. After that, he committed suicide, he said. I believe there must be a thorough investigation into Sahil Wakode's suicide. Strict action must be taken against whoever is responsible, whether professors, the Dean, or anyone else. We have demanded this, as this incident is extremely tragic and unacceptable at IIT, he stated. The Union Minister mentioned that Wakode's parents have demanded to see the full CCTV footage of the examination hall. His parents earlier claimed that only a part of it has been revealed to the media, where they are unable to identify their son and that the visuals do not establish anything conclusively.

PB Fintech tanks 34 pc, Turtlemint hits lower circuit on IRDAI's commission reform proposal
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 24 (IANS) Shares of insurance distribution platforms PB Fintech and Turtlemint witnessed heavy selling pressure on Thursday after the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) proposed sweeping changes to insurance distribution economics, raising concerns about the future earnings prospects of intermediaries. PB Fintech, the parent company of Policybazaar, plunged 34 per cent to close at Rs 1,244.50, compared to its previous close of Rs 1,886.30. The stock had gained 4.5 per cent in the previous session. Turtlemint shares also came under severe pressure and ended the day 20 per cent lower at Rs 109.04 apiece. The sharp decline followed the release of IRDAI's consultation paper titled Recalibrating Economics of Insurance Distribution, which proposes significant changes to commission structures, distribution expenses, market conduct practices and transparency norms across the insurance sector. The regulator has suggested linking commission payouts to the complexity of products and the effort required to sell them. It has also proposed lower commissions for products sold through open-architecture channels such as brokers and banks, which account for a substantial share of health, motor and life insurance sales. The proposals include capping commissions across several product categories. Mandatory insurance products, such as third-party motor insurance, could attract little or no commission. For banks and lenders selling insurance products alongside loans, commissions are proposed to be capped between 2 per cent and 5 per cent depending on the product category. The regulator has also proposed banning the compulsory bundling of insurance with credit products. Health insurance distribution could see major changes under the proposed framework. Commissions on new health insurance policies are proposed to be capped at 15-20 per cent, while commissions on renewals and policy porting would be limited to 5-10 per cent. Motor insurance commissions are proposed to be capped at 5-10 per cent for personal accident cover. In life insurance, the consultation paper recommends capping first-year commissions between 5 per cent and 20 per cent depending on the tenure of the policy. It also proposes spreading life insurance commissions over multiple years rather than concentrating payouts in the first year.
