Amid NCP merger talks, HM Shah to meet senior leaders of BJP, NCP, Shiv Sena during 2-day Pune visit
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Amid the ongoing talks about the merger or reunion of the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Pune district on November 15 and 16. On November 15, HM Shah will lay the foundation stone for an industrial unit to be run on a cooperative basis in Talegaon Dabhade and later visit the Bharat Forge facility at Mundve. He will stay in Pune on Sunday night, and is expected to meet the senior leaders and office-bearers of the BJP, NCP and Shiv Sena. On November 15, he is also likely to flag off the Pune Marathon. HM Shah will unveil the statue of former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP president Ajit Pawar on November 16 on the premises of Pune Zilla Parishad. The function will be attended by NCP legislators, ministers, MPs and other functionaries as they have been alerted about the programme over the phone. The two-day official programme has been confirmed by the state publicity department. NCP sources also confirmed that HM Shah will unveil Ajit Pawar's statue, adding that the formal request was made by Deputy CM and NCP chief Sunetra Pawar. In addition, sources said the party functionaries will also interact with HM Shah about the Mahayuti alliance and NDA issues. The Home Minister's visit comes days after Dy CM Sunetra Pawar and her son and party MP Parth Pawar met the former in New Delhi, reportedly over their request to return the finance department to NCP and also about the possible merger or reunion of NCP factions. Thereafter, a group of NCP leaders comprising Praful Patel, Maharashtra unit chief Sunil Tatkare, former Assembly Speaker Dilip Walse Patil, ministers Chhagan Bhujbal and Hasan Mushrif and former minister Dhananjay Munde met HM Shah and reportedly discussed the functioning of the party and the growing rift between the veterans and youth leaders. HM Shah's visit is also important when putting an end to the days of intense political speculation in Maharashtra. Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) working president and Baramati MP Supriya Sule on Thursday categorically ruled out any ongoing merger talks between the two NCP factions, declaring that the chapter closed for her the day her brother, late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, passed away. Addressing the media, Sule dismissed swirling rumours of a reunion between the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) and the ruling NCP faction headed by Deputy CM Sunetra Pawar. No proposal regarding a merger has been received by us, Sule stated unequivocally. In an emotional remark, she added, My brother is gone, and on that very day, the subject of the merger ended for me. I have not received any proposal, so I have no information about what merger is being discussed. No one has spoken to me about this. Sule's statement comes as the rumour mill in Maharashtras political circles has gone into overdrive over the past week following a series of high-profile developments and cryptic statements. NCP Maharashtra president Sunil Tatkare recently stated that merger talks were actively underway while Ajit Pawar was alive and would have materialised in February had it not been for his untimely demise in a plane crash. During Sharad Pawars recent hospitalisation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi telephoned to inquire about his health, followed two days later by a visit from senior NCP leader Praful Patel. Subsequently, MP Parth Pawar visited Sharad Pawars Mumbai residence, 'Silver Oak', on two consecutive days, fueling talk of backchannel negotiations. Chief Minister Fadnavis said, Only Sharad Pawar and Sunetra Pawar can clarify whether the two Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) factions will merge, noting that the BJP has not been informed of any such move. Addressing rumours about a potential merger between the two rival NCP factions, CM Fadnavis maintained that any such decision would heavily involve the ruling coalition. If they decide to merge, they will come and tell us, because the merger cannot happen without us. Neither of them has told us anything yet, he said. When pressed by reporters on the likelihood of reunification, Deputy CM Sunetra Pawar on Wednesday in Pune avoided a direct denial, remarking, As time comes, you will all come to know about everything, a statement that further stoked political conjecture.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, November 13 (IANS) Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, who is all set to host Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker, has decoded modern relationships, talked about situationships, benching and breadcrumbing. Hosted by Shilpa Shetty, the show will bring together couples who find themselves stuck in their relationships, at different crossroads whether struggling with commitment or being in long-term partnerships that have failed to move to the next step. Speaking about the show, host Shilpa said in a statement: Relationships today come with a whole new vocabulary, from situationships and breadcrumbing to benching, and somewhere along the way, clarity got lost. Whether its a new or a long-term relationship stuck for years, there comes a point when someone has to ask the real questions. What excites me about Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker is its fresh take on the reality format, and as Indias first relationship show where parents deliver the reality check. Its relatable for couples, and just as much for the parents watching, who are just as curious about what is going on. Its a show that gets people to say what they actually mean, and Im so excited to be hosting it. Inside one house, the participants will be made to answer the questions they have been dodging, with parents stepping in to give a much-needed reality check, until the moment of clarity arrives and the truth comes out. The show was announced with a quirky, catchy promo that sees Shilpa take audiences through the love stories of then and now. Moving from the strict, disapproving parents of yesteryear to todays dating landscape, where terms like situationship and ghosting have left families bewildered, she highlights how much the language of love, and the confusion around it, has changed. The film builds to the shows signature moment, the whistle of the pressure cooker, as Shilpa announces that its time for clarity ki seeti. Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker will speak to a generation fluent in every relationship term there is, and to parents watching from the sidelines, wanting to know where it is all headed. Its defining sound is the whistle of the cooker, the Clarity Ki Seeti, which blows when the truth comes out under pressure. Bringing Indias first relationship show into reality, Alok Jain, Head - Hindi & English Entertainment (Streaming, TV & Studios), JioStar, said: Young India is at the heart of what we do, and we are always looking for ideas that reflect their lives and the conversations they are having. Relationships are among the most talked-about subjects for this generation, but rarely get an honest conversation, least of all with parents. Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker brings both sides to the table with humour, heart and a clear point of view. We believe its an idea young audiences will see themselves in, talk about and share, and we are excited to bring it to them. Pyaar Ka Pressure Cooker will air on Colors.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief, Raj Thackeray, on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing it of attempting to manufacture regional and linguistic conflict in Mumbai ahead of Chhath Puja to reap political dividends in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. In a strongly-worded statement, Thackeray urged the Marathi populace and his party cadrethe Maharashtra Sainiksto exercise strategic restraint and refrain from falling into what he described as a rap laid by the BJP. Thackerays remarks come amid heightened political tension in Mumbai following controversies over Bhojpuri songs being played over public announcement systems at several railway stations, including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Wadala. While MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) workers objected to the broadcasts, Thackeray alleged the episode was part of a broader, orchestrated campaign on social media to frame the festival as a cultural invasion and provoke a backlash. The BJP remains frustrated because the conflict they so desire has failed to materialise, Thackeray stated, claiming the partys traditional divide and rule playbook was losing traction. He accused the BJP of routinely polarising communities along religious lines ahead of Lok Sabha polls, stoking caste tensions before state elections, and manufacturing regional frictionsuch as the kabutarkhana (pigeon-feeding) disputeduring civic polls. Drawing parallels to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharajs guerrilla warfare tactics, the MNS chief advised his supporters not to react impulsively on a battlefield of their choosing. Do not take our restraint as a sign of cowardice, Thackeray warned, adding that his party would choose the time and manner of its response. He also addressed North Indian and Gujarati residents in Mumbai directly, cautioning them against being used as political pawns while reiterating that Maharashtra belongs to the Marathas. Beyond the Chhath Puja row, Thackeray broadened his offensive against the Centre and state leadership, alleging crony capitalism and environmental degradation. He accused the government of selling off Maharashtra piece by piece to a favoured industrialist, alleging that forest lands and parts of the Sahyadri mountain range were being handed over while society remained unvigilant. Thackeray also questioned the impartiality of the Election Commission and claimed that youth-led Gen Z unrest signaled the beginning of the BJPs political decline at both the Centre and state levels. Concluding his message, he challenged the BJP to move past divisive politics and urged Marathi citizens to remain alert and united.

Courtney Cox takes up drumming, learns Green Days Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Actress Courtney Cox shared a video of herself learning to play Green Days popular track Boulevard of Broken Dreams on a drum set. Sharing a glimpse of her musical practice, she humorously captioned the post: Its like Im learning in reverse. Boulevard of Broken Dreams is a song by American rock band Green Day. The power ballad is the fourth track from their seventh studio album, American Idiot. The song speaks from the point of view of American Idiot's main character, Jesus of Suburbia, and is a moderate midtempo song characterized by somber and bleak lyrics. This is in contrast to the previous track on the album, Holiday, which illustrates Jesus of Suburbia's high of being in The City. MTV's Green Day Makes a Video described Holiday as a party, and Boulevard of Broken Dreams as the subsequent hangover. The song was ranked number one on Rolling Stone's Reader's Choice: Singles of the Decade list in 2009 and number 65 on the 100 Best Songs of the Decade list in the same year. The single peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Green Day's most successful song in the United States. The song was the ninth-highest-selling single of the 2000s decade with worldwide sales exceeding 5 million copies. As of 2026, Boulevard of Broken Dreams is the only song to win both the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year. It remains one of Green Day's signature songs. The actress rose to international prominence by playing Monica Geller in Friends and Gale Weathers in the horror film franchise Scream. Cox had a recurring role in the sitcom Family Ties and starred in the drama series Dirt, the sitcom Cougar Town, and the horror comedy series Shining Vale. Her film credits include the action fantasy Masters of the Universe, the comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, the animated comedy Barnyard, the fantasy comedy Bedtime Stories, and the independent drama Mothers and Daughters. She owned the production company Coquette Productions, which she founded with her then-husband David Arquette.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Veteran star and politician Jaya Bachchan was recently seen in a candid moment as she stopped to pick up a discarded bottle from the road as she headed for an event. A video captured by IANS shows Jaya dressed in a traditional cream-coloured outfit, bending down to pick up a plastic bottle lying on the roadside. Jaya appeared to carefully pick up the litter and move it away from the road. What caught the attention of netizens on social media was not just Jayas gesture but her phone visible in the video. The veteran actors phone appeared to have a wallpaper featuring her grandchildren, Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda. Jaya has often been in the news for her long and rather bittersweet relationship with paparazzi culture. She has often been seen acknowledging photographers, but has also repeatedly expressed her displeasure when she feels cameras cross personal boundaries. Her exchanges with paparazzi have often gone viral, with the actor seen questioning photographers for clicking her family members or filming them without consent. One such incident was when Jaya Bachchan was walking in with her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda when a paparazzo stumbled while trying to photograph her. Instead of checking on him, she snapped, Serves you right. I hope you double up and fall, while also questioning the photographers about which media organisations they represented. The following year, at the airport, Jaya again lost her cool after noticing a man filming her. She told him, Please dont take my picture. You dont understand English? and, as security intervened, she remarked that such people should be fired. A prominent face of Bollywoods retro era, Jaya was among the leading female stars of her generation. During the peak of her career, she delivered many acclaimed performances and established herself as one of Hindi cinemas most celebrated actresses. She married superstar Amitabh Bachchan in 1973 and stepped away from acting as she devoted herself to her family and raising their children, Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Abhishek Bachchan.

'I Am Made For This Stage - How Late Bloomer Nazma Khan Manifested Her Way To The Top
Inter Zonal T20 Trophy: Nazma Khans cricketing career has been one of slow, stubborn blooming. She spent six years warming the bench in Delhis age-group sides, drifted through two other states in search of regular game time, and only truly announced herself in the Delhi set-up in her late 20s. At 30, she was still waiting for a Womens Premier League (WPL) call after not finding any takers in the last two auctions. On October 28, as the WPL 2027 mini-auction played out in Kochi, Nazma was with Delhi for the Senior Womens T20 Trophy league stage when her name came, but found no interest from five franchises, even as she got a net bowling request from Gujarat Giants (GG). Actually, I saw a little bit of the starting half. After that, we had a team meeting, so I couldn't see after that. I saw it when my name came on the screen for the first time. Then after that, someone didnt raise the paddle up and I was a little disappointed. So I went back to my room. After that, I didn't see the auction. I was disappointed and I went to my room. I started talking to one of my sirs. I told him, 'Sir, I am feeling very disappointed.' So then sir was motivating me. He said, 'Koi ni Nazma. Part of life hai. Part of journey hai (No worries Nazma, it's a part of life and journey).' Ups and downs will keep happening. You have to keep going. I said yes sir. Then all of a sudden, I got a text from GG about net bowling. I was a little surprised along with the feeling of disappointment. Then I told my sir that I got a message for net bowling. Sir said, 'Haan kar do (You say yes to them).' I replied to them that I am available for net bowling, recalled Nazma to IANS, in a select virtual interaction. But in the accelerated round, Delhi Capitals signed her for Rs 10 lakh, and Nazma was overwhelmed. Then all of a sudden, the bell started ringing in my room. The room started knocking loudly. When I went there, my mates told me that my name came up. For a while, I couldn't believe that my name came up. I was surprised - it is such a feeling that at that time, I can say that I was feeling-less. I didn't know how to express this feeling. But then I started crying. I was very happy about this. Then I told my sir that finally, my name came up, she added. Jemimah Rodrigues, India batter and Delhi Capitals skipper, opened her Instagram to welcome her new team-mate, but found a message Nazma had sent nearly a year ago. I know you won't even see this message but one day i'll going to share the same platform with you and will be doing batting with you and will going to make our team win and i'll make you open your instagram to show you this message, it read. Jemimah posted a screenshot on her story: Opened Instagram just now to text Nazma and stumbled upon a message from her a year ago. One year later, the manifestation is real. Welcome to the family. DC reshared it with the caption, Reminder that manifestation works. Keep trying. Never stop believing. It will all work out in the end. Nazma had sent that message after watching Jemimah's unbeaten 127 help eventual champions India chase down 339 against Australia in the 2025 ODI World Cup semi-final. That match was so inspiring for me. Actually, I watched the whole match sitting there. The way Jemi managed the team and played a responsible inning in such a pressure situation. Australia is the best team till now and I felt the most connection when she was not able to perform in all the league matches and out of runs and little bit out of confidence. But when I saw that match, I felt that I have to do the same for my team (like how Jemimah did). Like I bat in the middle order and lower order and I feel that a player who gets the game in favour of her team and finishes the game well. So I had a feeling that I have to do something like this because I could connect with my role for that particular time period. When India won that match, I posted a story immediately on social media. I don't usually stay active on social media and then I posted a story about Jemi. Then I messaged that I also want to play on this stage. I also want to play among these players. I also want to win matches for my team and I know that I am made for this stage. So, I messaged (her) with this intention that no matter what, I will also play on this stage. One day, I will play among these players and I will also win matches for my team by playing the finishers role, she explained. The pair have since chatted and met as opponents during the Delhi-Mumbai clash in Pune. If the wait was long, the bloom has been emphatic. Nazma was the leading wicket-taker as Delhi won last seasons Senior Women's One Day Trophy, taking 24 scalps at 15.62, and topped the Inter Zonal T20 Trophy charts with 12 wickets for North Zone. With the bat, she made 106 runs at a strike rate of 120.5 in the last Senior Women's T20 Trophy and 267, including an unbeaten 126, in the 2024/25 one-day season. In August this year, Nazmas 12 wickets earned her the Purple Cap as North Delhi Strikers won the women's Delhi Premier League (DPL). Nazmas sporting roots go back to a father who played kabaddi and cricket in college. Growing up in Delhi, Nazma cycled, played football, trained with boxers and was the only girl in her block who played with the boys. After a summer camp at the National Stadium, she began as a medium-pacer at the RPCA Academy before switching to left-arm spin. Cricket scholarships carried her through her graduation and a master's degree at Gargi College. Nazma also starred in the all-India university final win over Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) in Mysuru. When neighbours asked if she earned anything, her parents simply said she played - their only condition was that she never break their trust. The road from there was anything but smooth. A move to Nagaland, as a pure batter at her father's insistence, brought her U23 and senior debut and a knock of 121 that was then the state's highest score, before a guest player registration dispute cost her a season. After a year with Uttarakhand, Nazma returned to Delhi, only to be kept out by an accident and selection calls. But watching Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah go about their business from the dugout taught her how games unfold, and Nazma gradually forced her way into the playing eleven. The inaugural women's DPL in 2024 was the turning point for Nazma. Playing in broadcast matches for the first time, with WPL scouts keeping a close watch, Nazma won the head coach's trust and places in both Delhi white-ball sides. Along the way, she has leaned on a chain of coaches, none more than Mayank Raghav, a former Ranji Trophy batter who hit 228 on debut for Manipur in 2018/19. His six-hitting clips on Instagram prompted her to send him a direct message. My cricket journey started with RPCA Academy. There, Surjeet sir and Ajay sir were present and from the start, they have always supported me a lot. Then, when I started playing my board matches, I met Dishant Yagnik sir. He was the mentor in my cricket journey. He helped me improve a lot in terms of my skills, which helped me in my batting. Then, for the past 3 years, I have been following him. I get irritated because I keep asking him the same thing repetitively. So, he has supported me a lot. Then, when my journey in DPL began, one day, I saw a video of Mayank Raghav sir of six-hitting on Instagram. Then, after DPL, I understood that, 'Nazma, thoda chakke maarna seekhna hoga (I will have to learn about how to hit sixes).' Actually, I was only able to work on video calls with Dishant Yagnik sir. So, I wanted an individual person to work with me in Delhi. When I saw his video on Instagram of six-hitting, I texted him. I texted him in my first season. I told him that I also want to learn six-hitting from him and how effortlessly you do it. When I sent him some of my videos, he told me that I was doing well. He gave me a time to meet him, wherein I met him and then, we started our sessions, she said. Raghav, who was visibly emotional on Instagram after her WPL selection, has been a huge blessing for Nazma. The most important thing is that Mayank sir is a person who gives me so much time. He puts so much effort into me. Mentally, he gives me an everyday perspective on things. Like, how a game is played. I have learnt from him how cricket actually is. I have never seen such a passionate person in my life who feels about cricket in that way. When I listen to him, see him in person, learn from him how he bats effortlessly I see it all. For the past 2-3 years, he has been working with me and I feel that if he wasn't my in-person mentor, I don't know if I would have been able to reach here. He knows me inside out and explains everything to me. But he never makes me feel that I am not the best. He always tells me that I am just about to do it and you will do it. When my auction was going on, I was talking to Mayank sir and told him that my name didn't appear. But even then, he was motivating me. I always share everything about me - even the smallest of details - and my day-to-day life with him. If I am worried about anything, whether it is cricket or off-cricket, I talk to him and feel very relaxed. I felt that I should have a mentor like him. He is a very positive person. I have started being a little positive with him. Before that, I didn't understand so much about myself. But when I started understanding about myself, he started explaining the importance of this platform to me. He told me that these days will be very valuable and you don't know when these days will come and go. So, live every day along with playing. When we were talking that day (after the WPL selection happened), it was a very emotional moment because I know that he has been a very good player in his life. He played Ranji Trophy and made 200 runs in his debut match. Sir has told me all the stories of his journey. It is very inspiring for me that I told him that I will play and fulfill your dream of playing for India. I told him that I just don't want to play. I want to stay there consistently and dominate. So, it was a very emotional moment for sir as well, elaborated Nazma. Nazma draws inspiration from Ellyse Perry's all-round commitment and keeps no pre-match rituals. At home, whenever she brings a trophy or medal back, her mother gives her a peck, then to the silverware, and places it beside the Quran Sharif. Relatives who once frowned at her wearing shorts now congratulate her, and many want their daughters to follow her path. Seeing her parents build their lives from scratch has left her with an immense sense of responsibility towards them. Nazma hopes to become an idol rather than follow one, and at 30 insists contribution, not age, is what counts in cricket. After quickly thanking well-wishers so that her silence wasn't mistaken for ego, Nazma handed her Instagram handling duties to her manager. Doing well for Delhi is Nazmas immediate priority, with the Super League stage of the Senior Womens T20 Trophy starting in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Bigger stages and brighter lights await Nazma in the months ahead. For now, she and those who have stood by her all these years can savour seeing the hard work and dedication finally pay off. Nazmas climb to the top was 12 years in the making, but it feels like this late bloomers story has only just begun. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Veteran actor Jackie Shroff, who is gearing up for his upcoming film 'Kaali Kheti', has shared that an actor should appreciate good technicians as they do the most heavy lifting on a film set. 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. He told IANS, An actor should always be thankful to technicians. I always appreciate good technicians. If the gaffer lights up the scene properly, actor ka thobda sahi dikhta hai toh game baj jata hai (the actor looks good in a well lit scene, and it comes out beautifully). You know what I mean? Look at this film, and what these guys have done with the colours. I am really lucky to have got a film like this in so many years of my career. He further mentioned, I am happy that I got the opportunity to work with this team. We spent so much time together. We got to meet. I now have more friends. I hope he makes a 2nd film, and he better comes to us. Kaali Kheti is a horror film in a rural setting, and sees Jackie Shroff toying around with full-fledged horror for the first time. The film explores a chilling folklore-inspired narrative where a village finds itself under the shadow of an ominous force, turning the very land that sustains life into a source of fear. With its intriguing premise and atmospheric storytelling, Kaali Kheti promises to bring a fresh and unexplored dimension to the horror genre. Written and directed by Haris Imtiyaz Khan and produced by Sana Khan under the banner of BlackCanvas Studio, Kaali Kheti is set to release in cinemas on November 20, 2026.
