Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 8 (IANS) Actress Raavee Gupta called her 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' co-star Smriti Irani a 'thorough professional'. While speaking exclusively to IANS, Raavee added that Smriti never lets her grand political stature come on the set. She was asked, You have worked with Smriti Irani. Given her political journey and professional stature, does that influence her working style on the sets? Calling Smriti extremely 'friendly and warm', Raavee added, She never brings her political image or stature onto the set. She is a very simple and straightforward person. I have never seen her carry herself with any airs. When asked about Smriti's reaction to the show coming to an end, Ravee added that she got extremely emotional. Her character has become iconic, and she is Tulsi. I have seen several reels from the last day of the shoot, and I think everyone was teary-eyed, including her. The show has been such a significant part of her career and her life. It was certainly a very profound moment, Raavee explained. She was also asked about the emotional transition between hearing that the show would go off air and actually bidding farewell to everyone. Were you mentally prepared for the journey to end? To this, Raavee revealed that they were told that it would be a finite show, so they knew it would eventually come to an end. When we entered the final few days of shooting, we were aware that we would soon wrap up. However, the day we shot the Diwali sequence was particularly emotional. The atmosphere on the set was different. Everyone was relatively quiet. Of course, there was happiness, but there was also a strong sense that something was coming to an end. Everyone was a little sad, she revealed.

Vardhaan Puri remembers enjoying Diwali sweets, bursting crackers with grandfather Amrish Puri
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 8 (IANS) Actor Vardhaan Puri remembered enjoying Diwali sweets and bursting crackers with grandfather Amrish Puri as a kid. Looking back on his fondest Diwali memories as a child, he said, My fondest childhood memories are those with my grandparents at home. I used to be obsessed with Kaju Katli. So, Kaju Katli, Moti Choor ke Laddu, Besan Laddu, Kheer, Rasmalai. I used to really enjoy sweets. I still do, but now due to my fitness goals, I try to be very disciplined. I also remember us bursting a lot of crackers and not being very mindful of our environment. I guess that was just a phase of my life, so I have stopped bursting crackers as thats the last thing the world needs at this point. Vardhaan added that the one tradition he has followed since childhood is getting new clothes for Diwali. I like to wear them when I am in the pujas and when the family comes over. That always makes me feel good. He added that they also buy silver and gold every Diwali, either in the form of jewellery or vessels as it is considered lucky. I also like going shopping with my mom and sending out personalized gifts to people whom we hold very close to our hearts, the actor added. For Vardhaan, Diwali is not just a Hindu festival, but a festival for every Indian. I see that on Diwali, people of different faiths, different religions, different castes come together and have a great time together irrespective of their differences. He added that he likes to reset his mind and heart on Diwali. If I have any grudges or any kind of ill feelings towards anyone, I like to make a call to them or reach out to them in some way and create a happy, peaceful relationship between us. Basically, I like to let bygones be bygones and work on any relationship that might not be at the point where I would like it to be. That is something I want to stop limiting this behavior to this beautiful festival, and I want to practice it on an everyday basis.

Isha Koppikar revisits her Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi character as film clocks 18 years
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 7 (IANS) Actress Isha Koppikar is celebrating 18 years of her film Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi in which she starred opposite Sonu Sood. The film clocked 18 years on Saturday, and was helmed by Sooraj Barjatya. It is a romantic tale of commitment and faith in love was highly appreciated by the viewers. Talking about the same, the actress said, In 2007, near to my birthday I got a call from Sooraj Barjatya sirs office for a movie narration. Who wouldnt be excited to work with a film maker like him? I went for a meeting and in a go I liked Chandni. It wouldnt be wrong to say that I literally fell in love with her. I related to the love she had for her family. Someone who could stand against the world and prioritise her family over everything else. Our set was Kaushik sirs canvas, he crafted every scene with so much detailing and emotional depth. Each character had an emotional touch that connected with the audience. I used to be very excited to be on set and be Chandni. The outfits, the hairdo, the makeup; it was all fun. So a very few people know about this, when I used to read the script everyday and especially my emotional scenes I used to end up crying in my vanity just thinking about how Chandni would be feeling!! I have cried so much, on as well as off screen. This film holds a special place in my heart, and ofcourse the treasure title of being a Sooraj Barjatya Films Heroine. I am glad I did this movie, it got me closer to my personal emotions, she added.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) Mohammed Shamis childhood coach Badruddin Siddiqui said he and the senior pacers family had repeatedly asked him to hold off on quitting Test cricket, but the veteran fast bowler made up his mind after concluding that his chances of a recall had ended with the non-selection for Tests against New Zealand. Shami brought the curtain down on his Test career on Friday night, exactly 13 years after he made his debut in the longer format against the West Indies at the Eden Gardens. Shami, who could extract seam and swing with the new and old balls, ends his Test career with 229 wickets from 64 matches at an average of 27.71, including six five-wicket hauls. He is Indias 12th-highest wicket-taker in the format and sixth on the list among fast bowlers. See, it was going on for a very long time. But I had stopped him from doing it and told him to wait a little longer. He was getting disturbed a lot for the past one year. I mean, when you were not getting a chance to play and perform, then every player would get disturbed. So, it was going on for a long time. But now, when he thought that after the New Zealand series, there is no hope left for a recall, he decided to make this announcement, Siddiqui told IANS on Saturday. He also revealed that Bhuvneshwar Kumars return to the national side had briefly given them reason to feel hopeful for a recall for Shami, but it never happened. It has been going on for a long time. His elder brother, his family, and everyone told him to wait a little longer and not be in a hurry. But he had been getting this feeling to move on for the past few days. It seemed to me that when Bhuvaneshwar Kumar was given a recall to the T20I team, it was possible that Shami would also get a chance in the New Zealand series, one-day or Test series. But it did not happen, and what can I say now? Siddiqui said Shami rarely let his frustration show, even as the wait wore him down. I always used to stop him in the past from doing this. Now it seems like he totally made up his mind to retire from Tests. He was very pareshaan (worried) in the last few days due to this. He didnt open up much in front of me and used to be normal. I would tell him, Mehnat karna hamara kaam hai, baaki sab upar walle pe chodho, and fit raho kyonki khelne ka mauka aa sakta hai (Doing hard work is all we can do, leave the rest to God and keep yourself fit if a chance to play comes), he said. He would do that, and whenever he came to me, he used to practice with the kids. He used to call me and tell me that he is coming and the kids, whether batters or bowlers, would go to him and play and practice with them from morning to evening, he added. Shami hadnt played for India in any format since the victorious Champions Trophy final against New Zealand in Dubai in March 2025. His return to international cricket had come only a couple of months earlier, in a T20I series against England in January, after a lengthy layoff following an operation on the Achilles tendon in his knee and subsequent knee problems post the 2023 ODI World Cup at home. Siddiqui could not understand how a bowler who was consistently delivering for his state could be considered unfit to play Tests. When a child like Shami is performing, you said that he is unfit. He played Ranji Trophy and bowled 20 overs - how can he be unfit? After that injury, he was performing. It is not that he is bowling too many overs and not getting wickets. He was picking 4-5 wickets and making his team win. The Bengal team has surged in performances, and the new bowlers who are playing with him have started performing well as they are playing alongside such an experienced bowler. But we, the coaches of India, or in the administration, are not able to understand. Look, we have good bowlers, but they are inexperienced. Whether it is the New Zealand series or the upcoming World Cup in South Africa, even in India, there was a situation where our bowlers were conceding 350-400 runs in ODIs and were even giving away 250 runs in T20Is. It is not that the bowlers are bad. But you have to learn. Even though you are doing well when you come to play internationally after doing well domestically, you have to learn a lot. For that, you need an experienced bowler from the other end - whether it is Bumrah or Shami. There is no other way to do that. Even the coaches who are there, they cant even tell you the things that a person is doing practically. A senior pacer can make the young bowlers understand more. All of this is beyond my understanding not making a senior bowler play. Look at Australia they are showing trust in their senior fast bowlers, and we are not doing it here, he elaborated. He believed Shami had two more years of Test cricket in him and could have played a key role in shaping Indias next crop of fast bowlers on future tough tours abroad. Woh apne kaam se kaam rakhta hai (He minds his own business). He doesnt say or do anything. Now that his red-ball cricket is over, he can focus on white-ball, and thats no issue. There is still a lot of time. According to me, he could have played Test cricket for two years if he had played from now. I wanted him to be taken care of. For example, there are tours of England, South Africa, and Australia; they will need bowlers like Shami and Bumrah. With them, they would have provided a lot of learning to the new bowlers. If this had happened, you would have got a new bowling pool for the next two years. Like we had that gap in between, that didnt happen. But I dont know what will happen as everyone has a different working approach, he added. Referring to recent comments by Ajinkya Rahane, Siddiqui felt Shamis former India teammates were equally disappointed by the way things ended for him. No player in the world, no fast bowler, no coach, no batsman can say that the attributes Shami has, it is there in any other bowler. Today I was listening to an interview with Ajinkya Rahane, who said that we are fortunate that he is a member of our team. Otherwise, if we had been in the opposing team, then we would have been worried, as the most difficult to face in a game was Shami. So, everyone have supporting players like him. All these players are also worried, and sabko takleef hai (everyone is troubled). Its not that I am troubling their teammates. Everyone wanted Shami to return. But what can you do now? God has thought of something else. But along with God, the people below are also involved in it. I dont know what they have been feeling. I cant understand what they are feeling bad about. Woh bechara toh kuch bolta bhi nahi hai (That poor thing doesnt even say anything), he added. Former India all-rounder and Bengal head coach Laxmi Ratan Shukla, who was the state captain when Shami broke into the Ranji Trophy side and got his debut in November 2010, went a step further and held chief selector Ajit Agarkar responsible for the unpleasant end of the pacers Test career. Shami wasnt embroiled in any controversy while playing Tests for India. He hasnt said anything unkind to anyone. So what could be better than this? In the video I posted on Instagram today, I said the same thing: we all wanted him to retire after playing Test cricket. But God didnt approve of that. More than God, the one below didnt approve of it mainly Ajit Agarkar. A stubborn, foolish, and arrogant person - he did not give Suryakumar Yadav a series after winning the T20 World Cup as captain; the man who removed Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from Tests- that man was just worthless. Ajit Agarkars name is always there in history like this - when he used to play, he used to concede a lot of runs. But he played for a long time because he was in the team, but hes shown his game even now, he told IANS. Shamis Test journey began with a bang, as he returned match figures of 9/118 on debut against the West Indies in Kolkata, which remain his best figures. While he was a reverse-swing exponent at home, four of Shamis six five-wicket hauls came in Australia and South Africa. Away from home, he took 145 wickets in 41 Tests at an average of 30.33. On Indian pitches, he was even more destructive, with 76 wickets at an average of 22.1. He played his last Test in the 2023 World Test Championship final, which India lost to Australia at The Oval. Shami will be next seen in action in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, when Bengal begin their campaign against Karnataka in an Elite Group A fixture at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on November 14. Siddiqui signed off by being confident that Shamis best white-ball days were not behind him. Now you will see that he will play white-ball games in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and then the Vijay Hazare Trophy. If he gets another chance to play in other white-ball tournaments, he will also play in them. The way he is bowling right now, it is happening in the same way he started his India career. It doesnt feel like he has been there for so long and is 36. It feels as if hes still bowling as a 26- to 30-year-old and hes absolutely fit, he said.
Saif Ali Khan teaches fun Nawab hack of opening a champagne bottle with a meat cleaver
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 7 (IANS) Ever since joining Instagram on October 11 this year, actor Saif Ali Khan has been on top of his social media game. On Saturday, the 'Hum Tum' actor dropped another cool video of himself where he was seen opening a champagne bottle with the help of a meat cleaver, as he was unable to find an opener. In the clip, Saif first puts his glasses on top of his head and then swiftly opens the bottle in one smooth motion. The 'Omkara' actor then hands over the champagne bottle to one of his helpers. Nawabi hacks #23, when you can't find an opener, you try the meat cleaver!! Please do not try this at home...(sic), Saif captioned the post. Reacting to the fun post, Kareena Kapoor's BFF and actress Amrita Arora commented, Saifu, followed by several laughing-with-tears emojis. Meanwhile, in a hilarious moment from Saif and Kareena's recent appearance on 'Koffee With Karan', host and filmmaker Karan Johar asked the Bollywood couple to call someone famous. However, Saif expressed his wish to call his wine dealer. When Bebo pointed out that the wine dealer was not a celebrity, Saif quipped, Well, he is a celebrity to me. During the episode, Saif also shared an emotional detail about how the attack at his residence last year affected his younger son Jeh. He revealed that following the attack, Jeh gave him his plastic sword and told him to use it if a similar situation happened again. Jeh gave me his plastic sword and said, Next time that thief comes, use this. For a couple of months after that, he kind of kept the plastic sword with me... So, the whole thing happened in front of him, the fight and all and he thinks I am a great protector. He thinks I am Iron Man, Saif recalled.

Paperwork Completed For Hardik-Arshdeep Swap Ahead Of IPL 2027, Formal Nod Awaited
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: The paperwork has been completed for seam-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya to join Punjab Kings (PBKS) ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2027. With Pandya going to PBKS in a trade deal, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh will head to five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI). The deal, though, still needs formal approval before it is formally announced. Yes, the initial paperwork for this trade has been completed. Now it has to get formal approval of the BCCI and IPL governing council, and then it can be announced along with the final amount, said an IPL source to IANS on Saturday. IANS previously reported on November 3 that Shreyas Iyer-led PBKS had surged ahead of other teams like Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to acquire Pandyas services ahead of the November 17 retentions deadline. Wicketkeeper-batter Vishnu Vinod was initially a part of the exchange, but IANS understands that he has been left out of it. No, he is not a part of this trade deal, added another source. The trade also ends Hardiks second spell at MI, which began when the franchise acquired him from Gujarat Titans (GT) in an all-cash deal ahead of IPL 2024 and handed him the captaincy in place of Rohit Sharma, who had guided the side to five titles. His homecoming was expected to give MI a long-term leader, but things did not go as per the expected plan. Though MI reached the playoffs in IPL 2025, they finished at the bottom of the points table in IPL 2024 and ended at the ninth spot in IPL 2026. In 39 games where Hardik was MIs captain, they won 15 games and lost 24 matches. Meanwhile, Arshdeep has been with PBKS since IPL 2019, and his exploits with them paved his way into the Indian team. As of now, Arshdeep is playing in the ODI series in New Zealand and is also Indias highest wicket-taker in T20Is. Both Pandya and Arshdeep were members of the Mens T20 World Cup-winning Indian team in 2024 and 2026. Pandyas fitness, though, is a big concern. He has not played competitive cricket since IPL 2026 due to a series of injuries, the most recent being a shin problem that kept him out of India As one-day series against Australia A in Puducherry in October. That recovery from the shin injury also ruled out Pandya from being a part of Barodas squad for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. IANS also understands that PBKS had looked to trade out Australias seam-bowling all-rounder Marcus Stoinis in exchange for Lucknow Super Giants left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan, but theres been a change of heart from the franchise, and if all goes well, he is likely to be retained for the 2027 IPL season. It is also understood that Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are in talks over initiating a major trade involving more than two players. Though the names of the players in question have been doing the rounds, a formal announcement will be made once it gets the IPL governing council's nod. IANS also understands that PBKS had looked to trade out Australias seam-bowling all-rounder Marcus Stoinis in exchange for Lucknow Super Giants left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan, but theres been a change of heart from the franchise, and if all goes well, he is likely to be retained for the 2027 IPL season.

Diwali rush: Over 8.20 lakh passengers travel in six days; Western Railway runs 73 special trains
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Nov 7 (IANS) More than 8.20 lakh passengers travelled from stations under the Ahmedabad Division of Western Railway in the first six days of November, prompting the railway administration to deploy additional staff, set up holding areas and operate 73 special train trips to manage the festive rush during Diwali and Chhath Puja. Between November 1 and 6, the division recorded 4.55 lakh passengers travelling on unreserved tickets and 3.65 lakh on reserved tickets. Ahmedabad Railway Station accounted for more than 3.20 lakh passengers, followed by Sabarmati with 1.30 lakh and Asarwa with around 50,000. Together, the three stations handled more than five lakh passengers during the six days. To meet the additional demand, Western Railway is operating 73 special train trips from the Ahmedabad Division during November to destinations across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and other states. The services are being operated from Ahmedabad, Sabarmati, Asarwa, Bhuj and Gandhidham, connecting passengers to cities including Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Mumbai, Prayagraj, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Barauni, Rajgir, Jaipur, Haridwar and Bhagalpur. Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Ved Prakash visited Ahmedabad Railway Station late at night and remained there with railway officials to oversee arrangements for passengers travelling during the festive season. He inspected the holding areas and other facilities and interacted with passengers heading to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to enquire about their travel experience. He also extended Chhath Puja greetings and appealed to them to board trains in an orderly manner. Passengers raised slogans of 'Chhath Maiya Ki Jai' alongside the DRM and appreciated the arrangements. They said that after waiting for some time, they were allowed to board trains in an organised manner, allowing them to proceed towards their hometowns. Special holding areas have been set up at Ahmedabad and Sabarmati stations to prevent overcrowding on platforms. Seating, drinking water, lighting and fans have been provided at these locations for passengers waiting for their trains. The division has also arranged food packets, water bottles, chips and biscuits for general-class passengers. Voluntary organisations and NGOs are assisting in distributing food and drinking water. Additional cleaning staff have been deployed, while water coolers and other drinking water facilities are being monitored regularly. For security and crowd management, additional Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel, ticket-checking staff and other railway employees have been deployed. CCTV cameras are being used to monitor station premises, platforms and crowded areas. Particular attention is being paid to regulating passenger movement at entry and exit gates, foot overbridges and platforms. A dedicated war room has also been set up in the control building at the DRM's office to monitor passenger movement and train operations round the clock.

Letters, doodles, everyday moments offer rare glimpse into Rabindranath Tagore's intimate world
Divya Dutta is pleased to have starred in three diverse projects in 2026. The web show Chiraiya was her first outing this year, followed by the recent movies Last Man In Tower and Gajab Raat. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Dutta looked back at the year with fondness. I have been very fortunate to have been a part of three projects, she said. All three have made huge impact on people in general. If I talk about Chiraiya, I cant tell you how many young girls and mothers have come up to me and told me how the show and my role impacted them and how they changed something about their lives because they saw the show. It is very overwhelming for an actor to feel that. The same with Last Man In Tower. It has absolutely shaken people up to nothing else but look within once. Dutta has been acting since over 30 years. When asked how she looks back at her journey so far, she said, I am just grateful because there was a little girl who dreamt of being an actor. She had a dream of working with idols and people she has looked up to. To look back and say, I did it all and on my own, I just need to pat my back, be very grateful and hungry to do even more further. The actor said that her criteria for choosing projects has always been pretty much the same. I need to jump up when I hear something; its an instant response. Its like when you go shopping and instantly like one dress and then you ask them to show four more. But you are fond of only the first one. So, what you instantly like is never wrong. The gut is always right. Thankfully, I have carved a niche where people look up to my choices. They say that when I do something, they know its something different. So, I wish to do something that I enjoy. I want to be nervous and excited, she said. Dutta describes herself as a total Hindi movie buff. She believes this year, like almost every other year, has been a mixed bag for Hindi cinema. Its a mixed bag; it always is. There are certain highs and lows. That always will be. You have had some huge hits and some damp squibs that you were not expecting. But there are so many new filmmakers coming up with their stories. The effort and hunger to do something better is seen, she said.

Vidyut Jammwal has spoken about the emotional impact of the reported firing incident involving Tiger Shroff in Mumbai, saying that the actor has every reason to feel stressed after going through such an experience. During a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Vidyut recalled speaking to Tiger and shared his thoughts on how the incident could affect his personal life and fitness routine. Discussing the pressure Tiger might be dealing with, Vidyut said the experience could make him hesitant about activities he previously enjoyed, including playing football and sharing fitness videos on social media. I can imagine the pressure you have. With you, the experience you have gone through will limit you from playing football; you might not be posting a lot of fitness videos thinking people might make fun of you, or not posting your kicking videos, and that could be the reason for his ageing. This is the time when he can decide if he wants to become the fittest version of himself or become better than that. He is happy, stressed for sure, he said. Vidyut also recalled telling Tiger that the incident was an unusual experience, even by the standards of people who have encountered dangerous situations in their line of work. I was telling him that there would be nobody in the world who could say, 'I have seen a shooter shoot in front of my face.' This happens in the Army, he said. Emphasising the emotional toll of the incident, Vidyut added that Tiger's stress should not be dismissed as an ordinary reaction. I told Tiger that he has to be stressed because there has been an attempt to murder him, so it cannot be a normal experience. So, he is good and trying his best to get out of this, he added. The incident took place on October 18 outside a football club near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai's Juhu area. Tiger was present at the location when shots were fired. He escaped unharmed, while his driver and an autorickshaw driver were injured. Also Read:Kitao Sakurai on casting Vidyut Jammwal in Street Fighter: Hes more Dhalsim than Dhalsim

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 7 (IANS) NCP-SP Chief Sharad Pawar was discharged on Saturday from Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital in a stable condition after receiving treatment for a chest infection and a bronchitis attack. Pratit Samdani, the doctor treating the NCP-SP Chief, confirmed that Pawar is recovering well and will continue his medication and recovery at his Silver Oak residence in Mumbai. Given his age, Pawar has been advised to follow essential precautions and rest. Sharad Pawar has been discharged in a stable condition . He will continue his treatment at home...

His health condition is stable and has shown improvement. He will be going straight to his Mumbai residence from the hospital, according to an official statement issued by Parvez K Grant, Chief Cardiologist, and Chairman and Managing Trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic. Pawar was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic on Monday after experiencing a cough and chest discomfort. He had embarked on a tour of rural areas to assess the drought situation in Maharashtra. During this tour, he was interacting with farmers in drought-affected regions to understand issues such as water scarcity, crop conditions, and agricultural challenges. However, after feeling uneasy during the tour, Pawar cut his trip short and was subsequently hospitalised for a medical check-up. Upon complaining of chest pain while coughing and breathing, he was evaluated by doctors. He received treatment under the supervision of Parvez Grant and was kept under observation as a precautionary measure. After two days of treatment, Pawar's condition improved. Grant clarified in the statement that Pawar was discharged on Wednesday, his health is stable, and he is doing fine.

Political parties may be different, but Pawar Saheb was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital two or three days ago. I was in Delhi, so I had decided to meet him today. However, the news that he has been discharged from the hospital and that his health is fine is good news. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Sharad Pawar and warmly requested the veteran politician to prioritise his health and rest. The Prime Minister told Sharad Pawar that Supriya Sule (daughter of Sharad Pawar) and we will handle the country; you take care of your health and rest. Let your blessings remain with us. The hospital stay gained political traction following a phone call from PM Modi who reached out early on Friday morning to inquire about Pawar's well-being. Pawar thanked the Prime Minister for his call, reassuring him that he was taking rest and added, With all of you around, I have no worries about the country. Thereafter, NCP Working President Praful Patel met Sharad Pawar on Thursday night that sparked the political buzz of merger between the NCP factions.

Digital Desk | Nalasopara, Nov 7 (IANS) A man accused of murdering his wife following domestic disputes and suspicions about her character allegedly died by suicide by jumping in front of a local train at Grant Road railway station in Mumbai, hours after the woman's body was found at their residence in Maharashtra's Nalasopara. The two incidents, which took place within a few hours, have sent shockwaves through the area, with police investigating the circumstances surrounding the murder and the subsequent suicide. According to the Nalasopara Police, the accused, identified as Majeed Hanif Khan (50), was a resident of Alfatifa Building in Aman Nagar, Takipada, Nalasopara West.

According to preliminary information, Tabassum ran tuition classes for young children from their home. Parents regularly visited the house to drop off and pick up their children. Majeed reportedly developed suspicions about his wife's character over these visits, which frequently led to arguments between them. As per the complaint filed in the case, the family had dinner together on the night of November 6 and watched television until late. Subsequently, their daughter went to sleep in the hall, while her parents remained in their bedroom. On November 7, around 5 a.m., the daughter woke up and noticed that the main door of the house was open. When she entered the bedroom, she found her mother, Tabassum, lying unconscious on the floor with injuries to her face and neck. Her father was missing from the house.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 7 (IANS) Actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who is awaiting the release of her upcoming film Parivarik ManuRanjan, has shared her opinion on the current system and modern tools of film promotions. The actress spoke with IANS along with her co-actor Pankaj Tripathi at a 5-star property in the Goregaon east area of Mumbai during the promotions of the film in the city. She drew parallels between making and promoting film and cooking food. She said that garnishing alone cannot salvage a badly made recipe. She said that makers should focus on telling a good story, marketing and promotions can help the accentuate the content. She told IANS, I have not learnt filmmaking so, pardon me but, I feel that like how we make food, if we are not putting the right ingredients, and not giving that recipe be it khichdi or biryani the desired time and attention then it wont turn out good. You will reject it after a few bites irrespective of its presentation. The work we do, what we make is an art form. We are part of an artistic industry. So we should put artistry in our work while making a film. She further mentioned, We love our film, we must love our story, we must love our actors, we must know why we have our actors there, how we are showing them. I feel like there were so many visionaries before us who did this. And no matter whoever said that, This won't work, this will work, they would go by thor conviction. I wish that we would still make films like that. I really, really pray and wish for it because I love this field. It's a very, very beautiful field. And with marketing, if we don't put love in it, we can't fix it. First, we have to make it really well then we have to sell it. You taste it, you love it, you come back for more. A good story will eventually find its audience. Even if a good story doesn't work at the time of release, it will have a long shelf life, she added. Meanwhile, Parivarik ManuRanjan is set to drop on November 13, 2026 on November 13, 2026 on SonyLIV.

Harry Boxer's extradition to India may take months due to legal hurdles: CBI sources
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) Bringing Harry Boxer (Hari Chand Jaat) a notorious shooter of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, from the United States to India is unlikely to be an easy task, as investigating agencies may face several legal hurdles and procedural delays. Although he has been detained by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in California, his extradition could take several months due to legal complications, according to sources. According to CBI sources, Harry Boxer has been detained for immigration violations and not in connection with criminal cases registered against him in India. In the US, he will first have to undergo proceedings before an immigration court, followed by a hearing. Subsequently, India will have to formally submit an extradition dossier under the bilateral Extradition Treaty. The dossier will include forensic evidence, details of FIRs, charge sheets and voice recordings linked to cases registered against him in Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi and Mumbai. The CBI told IANS that the extradition process in the US is lengthy, with the accused having ample opportunities to challenge the proceedings in courts. In several cases, accused persons also seek political asylum, which can further delay the process. Another major challenge is that most of the cases registered against Boxer are being investigated by state police agencies. Therefore, documents related to cases from different states will have to be consolidated into a single dossier and forwarded to the Ministry of External Affairs through the CBI. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police Special Cell and the Mumbai Crime Branch have started submitting documents related to the cases against him to central agencies. Officials said that his extradition to India would not be possible until the US court gives the necessary approval. Harry Boxer, has been detained in the United States following inputs and efforts by Indian law enforcement agencies. Indian security and Intelligence agencies had been closely tracking his movements, particularly after the firing incident outside Bollywood film-maker Rohit Shetty's residence in Mumbai. Boxer, a native of Narayanpur village in Rajasthan, earned the nickname due to his earlier association with sports and his background as a boxing coach in Jaipur. He gradually moved away from his sporting and farming background and entered the criminal underworld. He has been absconding since 2022 and eventually fled India to the United States, where Indian agencies continued to track his activities.

The shows in Dublin, Paris and London were three of the most beautiful I've ever been a part of. Thank you to everyone who shared in those nights of joy, love and resistance. I left with a renewed sense of what's possible when people come together for something bigger than themselves. From the beginning, our plan was to bring this tour home to the US. But after weeks of reaching out, nine major American arenas have turned us down: Madison Square Garden, Prudential Center, Barclays Center, UBS Arena, Intuit Dome, Kia Forum, Crypto.com Arena, Chase Center and Climate Pledge Arena. Here's what happened, Macklemore said. By mid-September, we received available dates at these arenas through the end of the year. But once they found out these were my benefit shows for Palestine, those dates were suddenly off the table. The doors were closed. The conversations were all different, but the result was the same. The shows were not going to be allowed to happen in these venues. Macklemore said that in over 20 years of touring, he has never experienced anything like this. But this is not an isolated incident. For decades, activists, poets, writers, musicians and entertainers who have stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people have faced consequences for doing so. Many have paid a far greater price than I have. Looking back over the last three years, the only real regret I have is not speaking publicly when Zionists were kicking me under the table. At the time, I didn't believe that centering what was happening to me was worth taking any attention away from the genocide in Palestine. But the intimidation, manipulation and suppression I experienced are part of how those in power keep entertainers quiet. It's their main tactic to keep us in line. Shut up and dribble, or you will be punished. The Thriftshop hitmaker said that at this point, he is three years past caring about maintaining any relationships, business or personal, with anyone that isn't riding for a Free Palestine. I'd rather lose every opportunity in this industry than spend another day protecting people who value their business relationships with Israel more than they value Palestinian human life. We live in a country that prides itself on freedom of speech. Yet we've reached a point where a handful of billionaires can decide which causes are acceptable, which voices are welcome and which human lives are worth defending. Today it's Palestine. What will it be tomorrow? He added: To these owners, the words Free Palestine represent a threat. Not because they endanger anyone, but because those words challenge the systems of power they have built their fortunes on. To the artists who are afraid of what those two words might cost them, I understand that fear. I felt it myself, especially when I was still wrestling with whether to speak out. But I believe that fear begins to lose its power the moment we realize we're not standing alone. He says he dreams of a world where saying Free Palestine is not controversial. It is expected. Where artists value their freedom of speech and collective liberation more than their brand deals. Look at what just happened in Europe. Three sold-out arenas. Tens of thousands of people from different backgrounds, religions and walks of life standing together. More than 40 artists and speakers putting their names and platforms behind Palestinian liberation. For all the attempts to paint this movement as one rooted in hatred, what filled those rooms was love. The tides are turning. Just three nights ago, Abdul El-Sayed won his Senate race on a platform that included ending the genocide in Gaza and stopping US arms sales to Israel. AIPAC spent $42 million trying to defeat him. And they still couldn't win. The trouble with buying power is believing you've bought the people too. The billionaires depend on our silence and complicity. They forget that we buy their tickets. We fill their arenas. We build their empires. And we have the power to bring them down. The people have spoken. We want an end to the genocide and we want a Free Palestine. The arenas have made their decision. Now we'll make ours. If they think the threat of never playing another arena in America will make me retreat into silence Macklemore said: There will be more shows for Palestine. We'll keep working with other artists and organizers, continuing where we left off in Europe. We'll probably just take that shit outside where it belonged in the first place. Our commitment to raising funds and standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people remains the same. Macklemore concluded: There comes a point when the world changes, not because those in power give us permission, but because the people stop asking for it. We will build our own stages. They may own the arenas. But they do not own the people who fill them. And they never will. FREE PALESTINE.
