Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 16 (IANS) Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh, who performed in Indore, recited poet Rahat Indori's famous couplet amid restrictions on 4 songs at his concert in the city. The singer-actor appeared visibly angered owing to the restrictions on his set list, and he made no bones while expressing his displeasure. He said on the stage, Ye nahin gaana, wo nahin gaana, ye nahin kar sakte, wo nahin kar sakte (Don't sing this, don't sing that, you can't do this, you can't do that). He later recited the poem, as he said, Humare mooh se jo nikle wahi sadaqat hai, humare munh mein tumhari zubaan thodi hai. Agar khilaf hain toh hone do, jaan thodi hai, Ye sab dhuan hai, koi aasman thodi hai. Main jaanta hoon ki dushman bhi kam nahin lekin humari tarah hatheli pe jaan thodi hai. Sabhi ka khoon hai shamil yahan ki mitti mein, kisi ke baap ka Hindustan thodi hai (What comes out of our mouths is the truth, We don't have your tongue in our mouths. If they are against us, let them be, it's not life, it's all smoke, it's not the sky. I know the enemy is no less, but they don't have their life on the palm of their hand like we do. Everyone's blood is mixed in this soil, This isn't anyone's father's India). The Child protection authorities flagged songs including Patiala Peg, 5 Taara, Case and Jatt Uthe Fire Karda, citing concerns over their possible impact on children. The organisers were directed not to play the songs during the live performance. This is not the first time, the singer-actor recited poet Rahat Indori's famous sher. Prior to this, Diljit recited the poem on December 8, 2024, at the C21 Estate ground in Indore during his Dil-Luminati India Tour. He dedicated the performance to late poet Dr. Rahat Indori in response to local protests against his concert.

Peak repo rate pegged lower at 6%, Dec hike on
Mumbai: The rate-hike cycle is now expected to be shallower than previously anticipated, provided relatively softer crude oil prices and an easing of geopolitical tensions in West Asia persist into 2027, say economists.Most economists expect the terminal, or peak, repo rate at 6%, reversing earlier projections of 6.25%. While some still see the possibility of the policy rate rising to 6.25%, they consider it a low-probability outcome that would depend entirely on incoming data.Also Read: Food inflation to stay elevated; ICICI Bank sees 25 bps RBI rate hike in DecemberA rate hike in December, however, is widely expected, particularly after October retail inflation accelerated to 6.09%, breaching the Reserve Bank of India's 6% upper tolerance limit for the first time in two years.135864578The RBI is legally required to maintain the headline inflation between 2% and 6%.The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is scheduled to announce its rate decision on December 4. The committee raised the policy rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% at its last meeting in October, citing inflationary risks due to global uncertainties and deficient rains.Also Read: India's consumption story remains strong, but rural demand faces inflation risks: ReportConsidering recent developments, we believe that the balance of probabilities has decisively shifted towards a 25-bps rate hike in December. We do not consider a further rate hike in February advisable, given the proximity to the union budget, State Bank of India chief economic adviser Soumya Kanti Ghosh wrote in a report last week.The December 25-bps hike to be followed by a more data-dependent policy approach. This also leaves room for a downward revision in terminal-rate expectations, the report said.Indranil Pan, chief economist at Yes Bank said, A hike in April remains a possibility, but the probability of the same may have weakened due to cooling global crude prices and steadying rupee.Brent prices fell sharply in early November as markets responded to expectations that the US would avoid another major military offensive after Democrats took control of both houses in the US.The recent correction in crude oil prices has tempered expectations of a relatively aggressive hiking cycle, with markets scaling back bets on multiple rate increases in the coming MPC meetings.Domestic inflationary risks also remain, due to the potential impact of El Nino, which could push up food prices. Inflation has mostly peaked and while upcoming CPI prints may soften, they will continue to stay elevated, paving the way for measured hikes by the MPC. We expect the hiking cycle to be rather shallow, Barclays chief economist Aastha Gudwani said.

Bandra Police arrest man from Delhi for AI-edited bollywood photos
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) The accused arrested in the case of Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinhas morphed pictures has claimed that the actress used her influence to bypass the legal procedure. A Mumbai Magistrate Court observed that the arrest made in relation to the case of Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinhas obscene videos and photos didnt follow the official protocol. The court declared the arrest of Aryan Deepak Jain, the accused, as illegal and ordered his release. Aryan was arrested from Delhi on Saturday and produced before a magistrate court in Mumbai on a complaint filed by the actress. The accuseds lawyers claimed that the accused was not given the requisite notice before his arrest, nor was he told the reason for his arrest. He also said that the accused was taken out of Delhi's border by a flight in a very confidential manner. The counsel for the accused further argued that he was not produced before the local magistrate court in Delhi, which is required by law, and the authorities acted in haste pointing out the actress influential background. The actress is politically well-connected as her father, actor Shatrughan Sinha is a Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha from Asansol constituency as a member of All India Trinamool Congress. The magistrate observed that it appears that the police brought the accused directly from Delhi to this court, while the legal procedure to produce him before the nearest magistrate court there was not followed earlier, the investigating agency has not given any satisfactory reason on record to understand why the mandatory legal procedure was not followed. The actress morphed pictures and videos went viral on social media a while ago, for which one of the accused was arrested. Sonakshi alleged that a man from Delhi had shared her morphed pictures on social media. Aryan was arrested from Jagatpuri police station in Delhi's Shahdara. However, he was not produced before the nearest magistrate court in Delhi before being brought to Mumbai. The accused claimed that he has not committed any crime and prima facie the sections imposed on the facts of this case are also not applicable. It is not clear from the record that the investigating officer has complied with these mandatory rules satisfactorily, the court said. Arresting and detaining a person merely on the ground of the need to investigate further cannot be justified, especially when the legal rules relating to arrest have not been followed.

Jackie Shroff says Gardish climax was written during lunch time, by 4:00 pm cameras started rolling
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) Veteran actor Jackie Shroff, who is gearing up for his upcoming film 'Kaali Kheti', recollected his fondest memories of working on the film Gardish. The actor spoke with IANS along with Sharad Kelkar and director Haris Imtiyaz Khan in the Andheri West area of Mumbai during the promotions of the film. In the climax of Gardish, the actors character confesses to his crime of murder of a local goon, as he breaks down in front of his father (played by Amrish Puri) saying he never wanted to be a criminal. Jackie Shroff told IANS, Amrish ji, I love him a lot. I always loved working with him. Hulchul was the last one I did with him. Amrish ji gave most of the offers. The story of Gardish was simple, a father, who is constable wanted to see his son become a police officer, and salute him. Gardish is a crime drama directed by Priyadarshan. It also starred Dimple Kapadia, Shammi Kapoor and Farida Jalal. It was a remake of the Malayalam film Kireedam, and follows Shiva Sathe (played by Jackie Shroff), a young man aspiring to become a police inspector like his father, Purushottam (played by Amrish Puri).

His transformation into a man of violence threatens his father's dreams and his own future. The film was praised for its performances, screenplay, dialogues and gritty portrayal of Mumbai's underworld. The actor further mentioned, The scene in question was during lunch time, and we started rolling at 4:00 pm. The director told me, Just say the line in the end. Say the line, pause at the end. Under his direction. I did what I said. I said the dialogue. I said I don't want to be a bad person. And I cried a little at the end. When told his throat almost choked while delivering his lines, he said, Sometimes I get choked. When I go into emotions, there is a phrase, Choke to death. I get that actual feeling sometimes. I couldn't breathe. It happens. It's such a simple direction.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) Actress Tamannaah Bhatia, who was recently seen in The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest, has expressed her gratitude to the people for Chhath Pooja. The actress, who performed the Chhath Pooja in the song Chhatti Maiya from the film, shared that she is extremely happy to celebrate the festival. On Sunday, she spoke with the media on the sidelines of the celebrations in the city, and said, I am very happy to celebrate Chhath Pooja with so many people in my own city, Mumbai. I have received a lot of love. The importance of this Mahaprabha will always be with me. I have received a lot of love. The importance of this Mahaprabha will always be with me. Chhath Pooja is an ancient Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of Surya, the Sun God, and Chhathi Maiya, believed to be the protector of children and giver of prosperity. It is a the 4-day festival, and is celebrated predominantly in Bihar, Jharkhand, eastern Uttar Pradesh and parts of Nepal. She further mentioned, I have received a lot of love. And I consider myself very fortunate that I got a chance to perform Chhatti Maiya's song in Chhath Pooja. Deepakji Arnab has made this film. He made this film with a lot of faith and showed that song. And today when we are getting so much love, we can't do anything other than returning that love. But I am very happy that when I went to Patna and did Ganga Aarti there during promotion, I wanted to go to Patna and see Chhath Pooja once. And I felt that I am not able to go but here I was invited, she added. Chhath Pooja is observed with immense devotion, discipline and elaborate rituals. Devotees, particularly women, observe rigorous fasts, often abstaining from food and water for extended periods. The celebrations begin with Nahay Khay, followed by Kharna, when devotees break their day-long fast after sunset. The most significant rituals involve offering Arghya to the setting sun on the third day and the rising sun the following morning, usually at riverbanks, ponds and other water bodies. Devotees prepare traditional offerings such as thekua, fruits and sugarcane. Unlike many Hindu festivals, Chhath Pooja involves worshipping both the setting and rising sun, symbolising gratitude, renewal, life and the continuity of nature.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) Actor Aryan Vaid has reacted to the video of actor Sharad Kapoor being in a not so good place. The two actors have worked together in Chahat Ek Nasha. The actor took to his Instagram recently, and shared a video, in which he defended Bollywood saying Bollywood is not different from any industry, and that industries or the world doesnt stop for any cog in its wheel. He said in the video, Bollywood, what kind of a place is Bollywood? I have seen videos of Sharad Kapoor and I felt very bad. I did a film with Sharad many years ago, it was titled Chahat Ek Nasha, and whenever I saw these videos when I read many comments many people are saying that Bollywood doesn't take care of its actors. I mean, what is Bollywood? Bollywood is like any other industry. He further mentioned, Bollywood can't force you to work, I am not saying I don't know what happened with him but with many actors when bad time comes, I am sorry to say it comes because they haven't thought about their bad times in their good times and that can lead to two things, one is frustration that you are not getting work so because of that, a lot of actors can take to drinking. Their frustration or whatever the kind of frustration they are feeling. He also advised people to be careful with their finances, and think about safety funds which could rescue them in difficult times. He shared, The second thing is that with the financial burden your bills don't stop coming. This industry once made Amitabh Bachchan sit at home. This industry has made many people sit at home. This is not only for Bollywood I think this is applicable to every single industry. In your good time please think about your bad time. God forbid that such a bad time comes to anyone but it doesn't tell. So, guys just spend your money wisely and yes, those who are roaming around in India with iPhone 18 and those who are buying on EMIs. Guys, be careful because the dopamine hit of iPhone 18 will leave you in two months but a bad CIBIL score will follow you for 10-12 years, he added. Earlier, the netizens expressed their concerns over the actor as he appeared in a bad shape. One user wrote, Shocked to see him like this.... God Bless you sir. Another user said, There is no shame or hesitation to ask for work. More power to you. However, Sharad Kapoor clarified that he is doing fine as he continues to recover from his injury in Barcelona. He also shared that he sent away his dogs to an animal welfare facility for a brief duration till the time he shifts his home.

Mumbai to get first underground art gallery, cafe at Kala Ghoda soon
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) India legend Sachin Tendulkar advised young cricketers to strike the right balance between technology and natural instincts in cricket as he suggested that technology should complement a cricketers preparation but should not hamper them in their instinctive decision-making on the field. Tendulkar was present at the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) Season 4 Player Auction on Sunday in Mumbai and is also a member of the ISPL Core Committee. Speaking on the sidelines of the auction, the Master Blaster gave important suggestions to the young cricketers. Technology should be an enabler, not a distraction. Use it while practising, but when you step onto the field to compete, trust your natural instincts and allow your subconscious mind to take over, Tendulkar said on the sidelines of the auction. In cricket, a batter has very little time to process information when a bowler is running in. You can have your game plans in place, but once you are out in the middle, it is important to keep a clear mind and back yourself to react instinctively. Technology can help you to a certain extent, but ultimately, you have to trust yourself. That is when you perform at your best, Tendulkar added. Apart from him, Cabinet Minister Ashish Shelar, Minal Amol Kale, Suraj Samat, and Head Selectors Jatin Paranjape and Pravin Amre, alongside Tiigers of Kolkata franchise co-owners Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, were also present at the event. The 2011 World Cup winner also highlighted the importance of grassroots cricket, which gives chances to players to make their name further. He also spoke about ISPLs role in identifying and nurturing emerging talent from across the country. Talent is like flowing water. You may be able to stop it temporarily, but you cannot block it forever. Irrespective of whether a player comes from the biggest city or the smallest town, talent will always find its way. With ISPL, we are making every effort to ensure that the selection process is transparent and fair, where performances are rewarded, he said. Citing the example of Vivek Shelar, who earned a place in the Maharashtra squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, following his impressive performances in ISPL Season 3, Tendulkar said, This is fantastic news for ISPL and a sign that we are moving in the right direction. I believe this is just the beginning, and we will continue to produce more players who make us proud. The Master Blaster shared another message for the young cricketers and urged them not to allow growing expectations and responsibilities to take away the enjoyment of playing. The most important lesson is to keep things simple and never forget why you first picked up a cricket bat or ball. As you progress, ambitions, expectations and responsibilities grow, and somewhere along the way, the pressure can take away the joy of playing the game. I realised this during an injury break when I was playing practice matches at smaller venues in England. It struck me that, amidst all the training, discipline and responsibilities, I had almost forgotten to enjoy the game. My advice to all the players here would be to keep things simple, express yourselves on the field and never let the child in you who fell in love with cricket get lost along the way, he added.

9Head coach Goud credits months of hard work after U-19 Asia Cup triumph
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) India U-19 head coach Yere Goud credited months of hard work and the team's ability to handle pressure situations after the side clinched a record-extending ninth Men's U-19 Asia Cup title with a thrilling one-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in the final. Reflecting on the team's triumph, Goud said the players had put in consistent effort over the past four to five months and had shown their potential in earlier assignments against Sri Lanka and Australia as well. I mean for four-five months we have been working hard and we had also played earlier against Sri Lanka and Australia, and there too the boys had done very well; we knew before entering this tournament that we would do well, and the boys did very well, whenever a pressure situation arose, they handled their pressure there and gave their performance, Gould told IANS. India edged the dramatic last-ball final to chase down a big target of 338 and win the match by one wicket against Pakistan at Al Amerat on Saturday. Mohit Ulva hit the winning four off the final ball. Captain Lakshya Raichandani scored an unbeaten 80 off 101 balls while Aaryavir Sehwag scored an aggressive 58 off 61 balls with nine fours. This pair had added 95 runs for the first wicket. Manal Chauhan's vital counter-attacking 47 (32 balls, three fours and three sixes) and a 57-run stand with Ulva steadied India's ship. While Ulva finished unbeaten on 49, Venkata was not out on 11 as they brought India closer to the target. India experienced a difficult passage in the chase, losing wickets in clusters first Raichandani and then Anvay Dravid (run out for 19) in the 37th over. But Ulva and the tail succeeded in getting across the line, thanks to steady heads at the bottom of the order, in the last over. Previously, batting first Pakistan scored 337/9. Usman Khan made 107 off 111 balls, followed by Abdul Qadir with 80 runs off 54 balls, while captain Farhan Yousaf added 63. Kavya Patel took four wickets for India to be the most successful bowler and Venkata claimed three. Sehwag, who accumulated 361 runs in five matches was awarded the Player of the Tournament accolade. He managed to hit one century and three half-centuries during the tournament. It was the ninth time that India had won the tournament which extended its record in the competition.

Nimrat Kaur seeks blessings at Hazur Sahib, offers seva at langar
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) Actress Nimrat Kaur, who was last seen in The Family Man season 3, recently paid a visit to Hazur Sahib in Nanded, Maharashtra. On Sunday, the actress took to her Instagram, and shared a series of pictures from her visit to the holy place. In the pictures, she can be seen seeking blessings, doing seva at the langar, and enjoying kada prasad. She also penned a long note in the caption, as she wrote, Satnaam wahe guru Hazur Sahib ji te haazri. A historical, religious milestone in Sikh culture. So grateful and blessed to have made it here finally. Especially today on the final day of Guru Gobind Singh jis Joti Jot Diwas, the commemoration of his departure from his mortal form. Its here that the holy book, our Guru Granth Sahib ji was commanded to be our eternal Guru and guiding light. Immortalised by Guru Sahibs words. The actress also shared that he donned a hand woven phulkari dupatta gifted by her father to her mother. Wahe guru ji ka khalsa, wahe guruji ki fateh. P.S. Honoured to be draped in this hand woven phulkari dupatta gifted by Papa to Mama nearly 50 years ago from world famous Barkha Ram Gote Wale Anardana Chowk, Patiala, she added. Hazur Sahib, officially known as Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib, is one of the five most sacred seats of religious authority in Sikhism, located on the banks of the Godavari River in Nanded, Maharashtra. Its historical significance stems from its association with the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh , who spent his final days here and passed away on October 7, 1708. Before his death, he declared the Guru Granth Sahib the eternal Guru of the Sikhs, ending the lineage of human Gurus. The present shrine was commissioned by Maharaja Ranjit Singh and constructed between 1832 and 1837 at the site of the Guru's cremation. Its magnificent architecture features white marble, intricate ornamentation and a gilded dome. The inner sanctum, known as Angitha Sahib, marks the cremation site. Hazur Sahib remains a major pilgrimage destination for Sikhs worldwide.

BJP chief Nitin Nabin reflects on how Chhath keeps Bihar's traditions alive across generations
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 15 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Nitin Nabin reflected on the deep-rooted cultural and emotional significance of Chhath Mahaparva, describing it as a timeless tradition that connects generations and keeps Bihar's rich heritage alive. Participating in the festival's commencement rituals at Digha Ghat in Patna, where he took a holy dip in the Ganga and offered prayers, Nabin highlighted how age-old customs, traditional folk songs and family practices passed down by grandmothers and ancestors continue to strengthen faith, preserve cultural values and reinforce a sense of collective identity. He also underlined how the festival, rooted in devotion, family unity, discipline and respect for nature, has travelled beyond Bihar to different parts of India and the world, carrying the state's cultural legacy across geographical boundaries. Nabin participated in the religious observances marking the commencement of Chhath Mahaparva, taking a holy dip in the Ganga at Digha Ghat in Patna on Friday and performing traditional prayers and rituals. During his visit to the ghat, the BJP Chief reflected on the deep-rooted cultural, spiritual and social significance of Chhath, describing it as much more than a religious festival. He said the Mahaparva represents Bihar's rich civilisational heritage, collective faith and traditions that have been carefully preserved and passed down through generations. Emphasising the emotional connection people share with the festival, the BJP Chief added that Chhath brings families and communities together while strengthening their bonds with their ancestors and cultural roots. The traditional folk songs associated with the festival, he said, serve as a reminder of the generations that have kept these customs alive. Through these songs and rituals, the memories of grandmothers and great-grandmothers continue to find expression in contemporary family life. The BJP Chief noted that the traditions handed down by previous generations are not simply religious practices but an important means of transmitting faith, values and cultural identity. The distinctive atmosphere of Chhath, where families participate collectively in preparations and worship, reflects a rare combination of devotion, discipline and togetherness. Nabin also underlined the values that make Chhath unique, including cleanliness, purity, self-discipline, family unity and respect for nature. According to the BJP Chief, the festival encourages people to maintain a sense of harmony with their surroundings and recognise the importance of natural resources in sustaining human life. Highlighting its spiritual dimension, Nabin said Chhath embodies deep reverence for Lord Bhaskar (the Sun God) and Maa Ganga. At the same time, the festival expresses gratitude towards farmers and agricultural workers whose efforts ensure food for society. This combination of religious devotion, environmental consciousness and appreciation for human labour gives the festival a wider social message. Sharing his personal association with the tradition, the BJP Chief said he had grown up witnessing Chhath celebrations and that the festival had remained an inseparable part of his family's life since childhood. He recalled how the Chhath ghats along the Ganga in the Patliputra region had been closely connected with his family and community for generations. He said his family had traditionally visited these very ghats to offer Arghya, making the riverbank an important part of their religious and cultural memories. The experience of witnessing the Ganga in its vastness during the festival, he added, further deepens the spiritual connection people share with the sacred river. The BJP President also said that Chhath has travelled far beyond Bihar, carried across the country and overseas by people from the state who have settled in different parts of the world. Wherever the Bihari community has established its presence, it has continued to preserve and celebrate this distinctive tradition. Referring to celebrations in New York and New Jersey, as well as the observances at Mumbai's Girgaon Chowpatty and along the Yamuna in Delhi, Nabin said the growing reach of Chhath reflects the strength and continuity of Bihar's cultural heritage. He noted that people from different regions have also embraced the festival, giving it a wider social presence while retaining its traditional character. He said the celebrations taking place in different cities and countries demonstrate how cultural traditions can transcend geographical boundaries. Despite living far away from their native places, people continue to remain connected to their roots through Chhath, preserving the customs and values inherited from their families. Nabin also described the four-day observance as a source of renewed spiritual energy and inner strength. He said the discipline, devotion and collective participation associated with the festival inspire people to fulfil their everyday duties and responsibilities with renewed commitment throughout the year. The festival, he added, offers a meaningful message not only to Bihar but also to the entire country and the world. Its emphasis on family relationships, social harmony, environmental respect, cleanliness and gratitude makes Chhath a distinctive tradition with universal relevance. The BJP Chief's participation in the rituals at Digha Ghat thus reflected both his personal attachment to the festival and its larger significance as an enduring symbol of Bihar's cultural identity.

RBI to review Rs 3 lakh income threshold for microfinance borrowers: Deputy Governor
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will review the annual household income threshold of Rs 3 lakh for microfinance borrowers, Deputy Governor Shirish Chandra Murmu said, signalling a possible reconsideration of the existing regulatory limit amid demands from the industry for a revision. Speaking at an event organised by the Microfinance Institutions Network (MFIN) here, Murmu said the central bank would assess the need for revising the threshold in light of developments in the microfinance sector. He, however, stressed the need for microfinance institutions to strengthen their household income assessment and reporting mechanisms to ensure transparency and maintain credibility, cautioning against the potential misuse of any changes in regulatory norms. Addressing another key demand of the industry to revise the 50 per cent cap on the household loan repayment-to-income ratio, also known as the fixed obligation-to-income ratio (FOIR), Murmu opposed the proposal to exclude the principal component of certain loans from the calculation. He said such exclusions would undermine the objective of the regulatory safeguard, dilute its sanctity and lead to an underestimation of household indebtedness. The 50 per cent cap is intended to protect borrowers from excessive debt obligations while ensuring that a reasonable portion of household income remains available for essential consumption and other living expenses, he said. Murmu pointed out that the existing 50 per cent threshold was already a liberal limit, considering the limited financial cushion available to low-income households and their vulnerability to economic shocks. Citing a recent study, he said the average microfinance borrower spends 18.7 per cent of monthly household income on loan repayments, while nearly two-thirds of the income is allocated towards consumption. He also referred to NABARD's periodic Rural Economic Conditions and Sentiments Surveys, which indicate that consumption and other expenses account for around three-fourths of monthly household income, leaving the remaining portion for loan repayments and savings. From a risk management perspective, the regulatory FOIR limit should be considered a prudential ceiling rather than a target that every household should utilise, Murmu said. The RBI Deputy Governor also raised concerns over the steady increase in the average ticket size of microfinance loans, noting that larger loans were witnessing significant growth while demand for smaller loans appeared to be weakening.

Air India resumes direct flights to New York, Newark after easing of airspace curbs
New Delhi, Nov 15: Air India has restored non-stop operations on all its flights connecting Delhi and Mumbai with New York, following the reopening of previously restricted airspace that had necessitated technical stops on select services.

Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) were operating with a technical stop in Rome for refuelling. With airspace restrictions eased, Air India has now resumed non-stop operations on all four India-New York routes, restoring faster and more convenient journeys for customers travelling between India and the United States. Pertinently, Air India currently operates one daily flight from Delhi to JFK, one daily flight from Mumbai to JFK, four flights per week between Delhi and Newark, and three flights per week between Mumbai and Newark Customers travelling between India and New York can enjoy Air India's newest and upgraded onboard products. Flights from Delhi to both JFK and Newark are operated with Air India's flagship Airbus A350-900 aircraft, featuring a three-class configuration with 28 Business Class suites with full-flat beds, 24 Premium Economy seats in a dedicated cabin offering enhanced comfort and extra legroom, and 264 spacious Economy Class seats.

The 'Peddi' actor recalled, When I got the call, I was in my room, and I could hear wailing from Khushis room. I think I barged into her room, hauling and crying, but what I do remember is she looked at me, and the minute she looked at me, she just stopped crying. She just sat next to me and started comforting me, and Ive never seen her cry about it since. Khushi added that she recognized that she needed to stay strong for the family during that tough time.

Kumar Sanu reveals how he perfects the phonetics of every language of India while singing
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) Legendary playback singer Kumar Sanu, who has lent his voice to Suniyo Zara, has shared how he perfects the singing in every language across India. The veteran singer spoke with IANS at his house in the Andheri West area of Mumbai during the promotions of the song. When he was told that the listeners feel that he belongs to whatever language he sings in courtesy his perfect enunciation, he said, This is also God's gift. I can't say that I don't know any language except Bengali, Hindi, and a little bit of English. That's all I know. Whether it is Nepali, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Gujarati, or Marathi, I don't know any language very well. He told IANS, If I know a little about a language, that's a different thing. I have been living in Maharashtra for so many years, so I like Marathi very much. There are a lot of singers and talents in Marathi. So, I agree with this. But I haven't worked out on this. He further mentioned, When a music director or a lyricist dictates to me, I pay attention to how they are pronouncing it. I mark his pronunciation in my shorthand. In any of my papers, there is a lot of shorthand. I have created all this. So, I mark how to pronounce it. When Im being dictated to, I used to use my shorthand. When I was singing, I used to look at the lyrics and the shorthand. So, the way he pronounced it, I try to give it 100%. So, people think he is Nepali, or he is Tamilian. You can tell from my words. I haven't worked out on the language. But I developed one thing that through the shorthand, I tried to go as close as possible to the language. I tried that. And I succeeded in that to a large extent. People accepted it, he added.
