He believes in being selective about the projects he takes up and wants to ensure that his eventual entry into the film music space is with the right project. Speaking about the possibility of creating original music for films, Anuv shared, There have been a few offers from Bollywood, and I would really like to wait for the right project to come my way. Im quite selective. He further mentioned, Its not out of any disrespect to anybody, but I feel that if I do something, I want to do it right and give it my best. The singer also credited his independent music journey for giving him the creative and financial freedom to make these choices. He went on, Ive been very fortunate that all the music Ive released independently has helped me build a strong foundation for myself, both financially and in terms of my audience. That has also given me the luxury of being a little more selective and not necessarily getting into things that may seem like very good opportunities but dont truly align with what I feel. He also spoke about the artists he has grown up listening to and continues to admire. Naming Arijit Singh, Atif Aslam, Sonu Nigam, Shaan and the legendary Lata Mangeshkar, he described Arijit Singh as a benchmark for his generation. Someone like Arijit Singh, who has been such a benchmark for our generation and someone we all look up to.

I also have immense admiration for Sonu Nigam sir, Shaan sir and Lata Mangeshkar maam, he shared. He also revealed a special collaboration that remains on his wishlist working with Shreya Ghoshal.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Actress Juhi Chawla penned an adorable birthday wish for Tabu on social media, asking her how she is managing to get better at everything with time. Juhi dropped a warm picture hugging Tabu and wrote on the micro-blogging app, Happpyy Birthday Tabu ..!! Some people age, some people evolve and then theres you, quietly getting better at everything and refusing to tell us how.. Lots and lots of love ..!! (sic) For those who do not know, Juhi and Tabu have shared screen space in the 2001 laughter ride, 'Aamdani Atthani Kharcha Rupaiyaa'. Along with these two in key roles, the ensemble cast of the project also includes Govinda, Chandrachur Singh, Johnny Lever, Isha Koppikar, Vinay Anand and Ketki Dave. Made under the direction of K.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) core committee, headed by party president and Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Sunetra Pawar, on Wednesday decided that the party's ministers and legislators will meet Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis after Diwali, with a plea to ensure speedy completion of the ongoing CID probe into the death of Ajit Pawar in a plane crash on January 28 in Baramati. The aim is also not to give an opportunity to the Opposition, especially NCP(SP) Legislator, Rohit Pawar, who has been taking up the issue repeatedly and accusing the Fadnavis government of delay in completing the probe. The core committee will also make a fresh plea for a CBI probe into the case. The core committee also took a decision to fight the NCP vs NCP(SP) case in the Supreme Court by fielding veteran legal counsels. Incidentally, the core committee refrained from discussing the ongoing tussle between the senior and youth leaders over the NCP's functioning and implementation of a strategy to consolidate its position in the state and increase the party's pan-India presence. The core committee meeting was attended by NCP Working President Praful Patel, Maharashtra unit chief Sunil Tatkare, ministers Chhagan Bhujbal and Hasan Mushrif, former ministers Dilip Walse Patil and Dhananjay Munde, party MP Parth Pawar and youth leader Jay Pawar. NCP sources privy to today's core committee's decision said it was taken days after Ajit Pawar's son Jay Pawar on October 28 visited the CID headquarters in Pune to review the investigation's progress. He requested an update on the timeline, pending technical clearance reports, and stressed the need for transparency and swift completion. The CID has been actively reviewing operational elements and conducting initial enquiries alongside family members and political representatives. CID officials maintained that the investigation is progressing steadily, citing that crucial technical reports and inputs from specialised civil aviation agencies are being systematically evaluated to conclude the final probe report. As far as a CBI probe is concerned, in February 2026, following demands from Deputy CM Sunetra Pawar and other senior NCP leaders, the Maharashtra government formally submitted a recommendation to transfer the case to the CBI. The decision aimed to ensure transparency given public concern and political allegations surrounding the crash. CM Fadnavis subsequently clarified that while the recommendation for a CBI enquiry stands, the CBI's active criminal/sabotage probe will formally proceed once the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) releases its final technical findings. Technical evaluations by the AAIB generally take up to a year to determine the exact cause-of-crash factors. Meanwhile, the core committee also reviewed the present status of the NCP vs NCP(SP) case in the Supreme Court and it was unanimously decided to fight it with the help of a battery of senior lawyers. The status of the dispute between the Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in the Supreme Court revolves around interim directions regarding party symbols and names, alongside the pending challenge against the Election Commission of India's (ECI) decision. The Sharad Pawar faction filed a petition challenging the ECIs decision that recognised Ajit Pawars group as the official NCP and granted them the original 'Clock' symbol. The Supreme Court issued notice to the Ajit Pawar faction while allowing the underlying dispute to be adjudicated on its merits. The court provisionally permitted Ajit Pawar's group to use the 'Clock' symbol for elections, subject to adding a prominent disclaimer in all campaign materials and advertisements stating that the symbol's allocation remains sub-judice and subject to the courts final decision. The Supreme Court granted official recognition to the name 'Nationalist Congress Party Sharadchandra Pawar' (NCP-SP) and allotted them the 'Man Blowing Turha' symbol. The Supreme Court directed the Ajit Pawar faction to strictly refrain from using the photos, name, or videos of founder Sharad Pawar in their political campaigns or publicity materials, instructing them to stand on their own feet and create their distinct identity. The main constitutional challengeregarding whether the ECI's application of the majority test within the legislative wing was legally soundremains before a Supreme Court Bench headed by the Chief Justice of India. The interim arrangements regarding party names and symbols continue to govern both factions pending the court's final order, said party sources. Today's core committee meeting took place amid growing tension between the veterans and 'Young Turks'. It was the second meeting after the core committee met on Monday soon after senior leaders met Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday and complained about the unilateral functioning of NCP MP Parth Pawar and their neglect in decision-making. Today's core committee meeting is also important as party legislators and ministers on Tuesday expressed serious concerns over the frictions and claimed the party was weakening in the absence of unity. Earlier, in a meeting held on Tuesday, NCP leaders and MLAs voiced strong concerns, stating that the party appears weak and that grassroots members are left in the dark given the ongoing friction in the senior leadership.

Virender Sehwag calls out Shehzad Poonawalla for his Vamp remark on Priyanka Chahar

During one of the recent episodes, Sehwag was seen calling out Shehzad for the statement, asking him to take his words back. Sehwag said, Yeh nahi allow karunga mein aapko. Aap shabd waapas lijiye, yeh shabdh nahi bol sakte aap Kisi bhi ladki ke baare mein aap aisa shabd nahi bol sakte (I will not allow this. Take back your word, you can't use such words... You can't say such a word about any girl). However, Shehzad reminded everyone of his altercation with Siwet Tomar when his kurta was also torn.

The court also imposed costs of Rs 5 lakh. Chief Justice Surya Kant questioned whether civic officials were colluding with illegal occupants and described the failure to act as an absolutely mischievous breach of the court's directions. The dispute concerns 3,400 square metres of land that the Supreme Court had ordered the developer to hand over to the BMC.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Actress Pavitra Punia has spoken out against people criticising the bursting of firecrackers during Diwali. The actress questioned why the festival is singled out when celebrations involving loud noises take place on other occasions as well. She also pointed out that dogs and other animals are scared not just of firecrackers but of other loud sounds, including traffic horns and objects falling. In a video message, Pavitra described herself as an animal lover, and said that her own dogs are equally frightened by traffic noises and other sudden, loud sounds. She questioned the argument that firecrackers alone are responsible for causing distress to pets. She said, I am a pet lover. My dogs are equally scared. And my dogs are equally scared of traffic, just like a horn sounds outside, just like something falls. So the problem with pets is not that they are afraid of firecrackers. They are afraid of any dark, heavy sound. They are afraid of that. Pavitra also condemned people who deliberately trouble animals during the festive season and said action should be taken against those responsible. She added, And if there are some such examples, they are stupid, stupid, who deliberately harass dogs. They are only sitting in a way that how these people should be troubled. Catch them and beat them. Take action for them. Questioning why Diwali celebrations are often criticised over firecrackers while similar objections are not raised during other celebrations, including weddings and anniversaries, Pavitra called out the hypocrisy. She said , Do we say this on someone's wedding anniversary? Tell me our logic. When people get married, at that time, why doesn't anyone come to say, why doesn't anyone come to say, that you don't leave crackers. Don't celebrate your happiness. No one says anything when the wedding season starts at their own house. Everyone will forget the preachings. She further said that she finds it upsetting when people from the Hindu community are made to feel defensive about celebrating their festivals. Don't be biased towards your own things and against with other people. One or two days of festivals come. Celebrate them well. Be very careful. Don't hurt any animal, any bird. Just stay within the limits and celebrate festivals. No animal should be troubled because of us. Happy Diwali! she said. Apart from the firecracker debate, Pavitra also questioned the annual practice of extensive Diwali cleaning. In a lighter part of the video, she wondered why people put in so much effort to clean their homes just before the festival instead of maintaining them throughout the year. She said, The cleaning that is done on Diwali, I wanted to know the contract for cleaning on Diwali, why is it done only once in a year? I mean, it happens that we don't clean our house for the whole year, and only clean it once a day, and once a day, we make Lakshmi Mata happy. She further quipped, What is written in the Ramayana that you have to clean the house? This question is for the mothers. Pavitra added that people should make an effort to keep their homes clean throughout the year rather than turning it into an exhausting exercise just before the festival.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga has reacted to the criticism surrounding his films following the horrific chainsaw attack in Andhra Pradesh. He said that a tragedy should be met with empathy rather than attempts to find a scapegoat in cinema. Taking to social media, the Animal director said that the first response to a heinous crime should be to empathize with the victims and understand the larger problem instead of blaming films. He wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), When someone commits a heinous crime, the first response should be empathy & an attempt to understand the larger problem. Not finding a convenient scapegoat in cinema. It is becoming increasingly clear that your concern is not for the victims or their families, but that you're using a horrific tragedy as a dirty excuse to settle your personal scores. Sandeep further criticized certain members of the film industry for using the incident as an opportunity to target the work of others. This is especially directed at those failed frustrated jobless male/female actors, few directors, producers & parasites, who suddenly appoint themselves as social reformers whenever an opportunity arises to take a dig at someone else's work. A tragedy deserves empathy not opportunism. Learn the difference, he added. Vanga's comments came amid criticism of violent themes in his films following the shocking incident in Andhra Pradesh. A shocking chainsaw attack at a school in Raptadu, located in Andhra Pradeshs Anantapur district, has triggered widespread outrage. The incident took place when a 21-year-old man, identified as Hemanth, allegedly entered a classroom during a Class 10 lesson and attacked a 15-year-old girl with a chainsaw. Another student, Lakshmi, was also injured while trying to shield her classmate from the assault. According to preliminary police findings, the accused, who is reportedly related to the victim, had allegedly been stalking her and attacked her after she turned down his advances. The incident has also brought filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga under scrutiny, with several social media users criticising him and revisiting a classroom sequence from his film Animal, featuring Ranbir Kapoor. In the scene, the actor is seen entering a school classroom carrying a loaded gun. The sequence has once again become a topic of discussion following the disturbing attack. Recently, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, known for his outspoken views and bold remarks, weighed in on the debate surrounding films accused of glorifying or normalising violence. Taking to X, the filmmaker said that blaming cinema for incidents of violence was misplaced. He wrote, Blaming films for rise in violence is like blaming Ramayana for rise in kidnappings.

M. Night Shyamalan says he is 'not giving myself a good grade' over writing progress
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan has opened up about struggling with the outline of his upcoming film, saying that research calls, video meetings and a visit to Los Angeles have pulled him away from the creative process of writing. In a candid video update shared on Instagram, the filmmaker said he had been filling his notebook with disparate ideas and was finding it difficult to shape them into a cohesive outline. In the video, Shyamalan said: It's November 3rd, 2026. It's been about two weeks, I think, since the last time we talked. I've been outlining and writing in the journal. This has been, I was gonna say, a little bit of a hot mess, to be honest, but I'm trying to understand why I'm struggling so much. I think I've filled, I'm filling this notebook and I think to some extent it's becoming rantings of disparate ideas. I've done a bunch of calls to individuals that have experience with the areas and places that I'm making this new movie about, he added. So I did a lot of research calls and Zooms, and they were very helpful, but they started to, they're starting to pull me; everything is pulling me away from it just being an expression of something in me, not giving myself a good grade at all for these two-week period. I went to LA, showed my new bosses Remain, which was a wonderful experience. The filmmaker said that everything was lovely, but I wasn't writing and we can lie to ourselves a lot about why we're not writing, but you're not writing and that's all that matters. He added: At the end of the day, all of this, this house, everything, every piece of clothing I own came from me writing and I just need to get back to that. Rather than a grade, I would give myself, you know, did not attend school. That's probably what I would give it. Taking to the caption section, he said: It's been about two weeks since my last update, and I've been struggling with the outline of my new movie after @remainmovie. I've been filling this notebook with ideas and doing research calls, but I've been feeling lost. I almost gave up on the outline altogether but this morning I committed to outlining through the end of the year, then starting the screenplay after Christmas. Shyamalan often employ supernatural plots and twist endings. He has received various accolades, including nominations for two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards and a Golden Globe.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Actress Soni Razdan has strongly criticised the bursting of firecrackers during Diwali. The veteran actress said that even bursting a single cracker amid the prevailing air pollution is unacceptable. Taking to her social media account, Alia Bhatt's mother shared a strongly worded message highlighting the impact of air pollution on children and their health. She went on to describe those who believe it is perfectly alright to burst even one cracker this Diwali as 'anti-life, anti-health and anti-national'. Sharing her views, Soni wrote, Any parent of a young child will tell you how much their children are suffering because of air pollution. How many school days they miss because of illness. So if you tell me that, in such circumstances, it is perfectly alright to burst even ONE cracker this Diwali, I can only say that it seems to me to be anti-life, anti-health and yes... anti-national. She added, Health is a choice we make for ourselves and our children. Let us make the right one. Soni's post comes amid the ongoing controversy surrounding actress Dia Mirza and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) Diwali anti-pollution awareness campaign. Dia recently found herself at the centre of a political row after a video featuring her appealing to citizens to celebrate an eco-friendly Diwali and refrain from bursting firecrackers was removed from the civic body's official social media accounts. The BMC had roped in many celebrities, including Dia Mirza, Madhuri Dixit, Nishigandha Wad and cricketer Ajinkya Rahane, to spread awareness about air and noise pollution during Diwali. The initiative came in the wake of the Bombay High Court's directions regarding restrictions on bursting firecrackers in public spaces and the need to create awareness about pollution. In her video, Dia urged Mumbaikars to be mindful of the environmental and health consequences of bursting firecrackers. The message soon attracted criticism from Mumbai BJP chief Ameet Satam, who objected to her being associated with the campaign. Taking to X, he wrote, We don't need lessons on how to celebrate #Diwali from @deespeak. Our traditions are deeply rooted in our culture. Following his objection, the BMC removed Dia's video from its social media platforms. The controversy escalated further after Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde criticised Dia, accusing her of taking an anti-Hindu and anti-government stand.
