When Ranveer Singh opened up about his secret engagement with Deepika Padukone

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 12 (IANS) Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are one of the most adored couples in Bollywood. But did you know the lovebirds were secretly engaged for more than 3 years before finally taking the plunge? As these two appeared on 'Koffee With Karan' season 8 back in 2023, Ranveer revealed that he had proposed to Deepika in 2015, and it was then that they got engaged. He further went on to explain why he decided to get engaged to his ladylove early in their relationship. Isse pehle ke koi aur aa jaaye, maine kahaa, main chappal rakh deta hoon.(Before someone else came along, I thought I should make a move). Giving a hilarious twist to Ranveer's explanation, Deepika called his decision an Advance booking. During the appearance, Deepika also recalled the initial days of the relationship. The 'Jawan' actress said, I wanted to be single for a while because I had come from difficult relationships. I was going through a phase where I said, 'I just don't want to be attached, don't want to be committed'. And I had fun! And then he came along, so I didn't commit, until he proposed to me. There was no 'commitment as such. Even if we were technically allowed to see other people, we would just keep coming back to each other. Over the years, Ranveer and Deepika have shared the screen in a number of blockbusters such as 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela' (2013), 'Bajiroa Mastani' (2015), 'Padmaavat' (2018), and '83' (2021). These two kept their admirers guessing about their relationship status and finally tied the knot in an intimate yet lavish ceremony at Lake Como, Italy, in November 2018, in the presence of close family and friends. Ranveer and Deepika welcomed their first child together, daughter Dua, on September 8, 2024. The couple embraced parenthood for the second time as they welcomed their second daughter on 19 September 2026.

When Sushmita Sen's mother made her take part in Miss Universe: You are not my daughter

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 12 (IANS) Actress Sushmita Sen created history by becoming the first Indian woman to bag the Miss Universe title. But did you know the 'Biwi No 1.' actress had almost withdrawn her name from the pageant after learning that Aishwarya Rai was also participating the same year? Back when she appeared on late actor Farooq Sheikh's popular show 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai', Sushmita revealed that while she was submitting her form for Miss India, she learned that Aishwarya would also be participating. She was further informed that 25 girls had already taken back their names from the competition due to Aishwarya. Admittedly a little intimidated, Sushmita, too, decided to withdraw her application; however, her mother convinced her to compete. Sharing the incident during the show, Sushmita had said, Aish knows about this. I told Aish about this later that I withdrew my participation form. I was like, 'She's so beautiful, and the world knows it. I don't want to go with her.' She further added that when she came back, her mother scolded her for giving up without even trying. Oh my god! What a shouting I got from my mother that day. I came back home to, 'You are not my daughter. I cannot believe that you are that afraid to try. Then she said 'it's ok fine let her win. If you think that she's the world's most beautiful, then lose from her. What's the point of losing from someone else? Go give it your best shot', Sushmita added. However, despite all the initial skepticism, Sushmita and Aishwarya were crowned Miss Universe and Miss World respectively that year, making the country extremely proud. Sushmita made her Bollywood debut in 1996 with 'Dastak' and delivered some memorable dramas in the form of 'Biwi No. 1 (1999)', 'Sirf Tum (1999)', 'Aankhen (2002)', 'Main Hoon Na (2004)', and ' Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya? (2005)', 'Aarya (20202024)' and 'Taali (2023)'.

Only farmers not responsible for Delhi pollution, reiterate farmer leaders amidst rising car sales

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 12 (IANS) For years, farmers in Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh have found themselves at the centre of Delhi-NCR's annual pollution debate especially if one of these states were ruled by a different political party over the issue of burning crop stubble between agricultural cycles. Farmer organisations have repeatedly argued that while stubble burning contributes to seasonal pollution, it has been unfairly portrayed as the principal culprit. Now, there is a cautious sigh of relief among the farmers of the region as the onus shifts to traffic emissions, with a prominent union leader calling for family planning of cars. Welcoming the Supreme Courts intervention this week, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) General Secretary Mohini Mohan Mishra asked states to withdraw such cases against farmers and return any fines imposed on them with interest. The strong objection raised by the Supreme Court against blaming only farmers for pollution makes it clear that farmers are not the primary cause of pollution, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-affiliated farmer organisation leader said. The administration should pay attention to pollution from vehicles. There should be family planning for cars with respect to the numbers owned by a family, he emphasised. The All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), the peasant wing of the Communist Party of India (CPI), meanwhile, blamed government policies penalising the farming community. Agriculture has been painted as a polluting job, while legislations are framed to support corporates, AIKS President Rajan Kshirsagar alleged. Weve been repeatedly stressing that stubble burning is not the principal reason for pollution in Delhi and the NCR, as it is evident, he added. The Supreme Court's observation, while hearing on Delhi-NCR's pollution crisis, questioned the tendency to place the entire burden of blame on farmers, while a report has highlighted transport as the largest local pollution contributor, while stubble burning's impact declined closer to Diwali. Levels of nitrogen dioxide in the air peaked during evening rush hours and stayed high until midnight, reflecting the impact of traffic congestion, according to an analysis by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE). The apex court observed that stubble burning is only one among several contributors to deteriorating air quality and drew attention to the much larger challenge posed by vehicular emissions. Each winter, images of stubble-burning fields dominate television screens, often reinforcing the perception that farmers are chiefly responsible for the Capital's toxic air. The bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi, and Justice V. Mohana has now directed Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan governments to submit plans covering vehicular movement, emission standards and measures to curb polluting vehicles. The Supreme Court noted that during the Covid-19 lockdown, stubble burning had not entirely ceased, yet Delhi witnessed significantly clearer skies, suggesting that factors beyond farm fires play a decisive role in the pollution crisis. The apex court's remarks also echoed scientific assessments. Data suggested that stubble burning accounted for around 14 per cent of Delhi's pollution contribution on November 5, while transportation remained one of the largest local sources of emissions. The CSE has consistently argued that Delhi's air quality problem is multi-source in nature, stemming from vehicular pollution, industrial emissions, construction dust, waste burning and adverse meteorological conditions, with crop residue burning acting as an aggravating rather than exclusive factor. Earlier reports this year by the CSE said that between 1,800 and 2,000 new vehicles are added to Delhis roads daily, where, as of 2024-2025, its total registered vehicle count crossed 15.6 million, with a significant surge in private two-wheelers and cars. Additionally, the number of registered vehicles in Delhi matches the combined total of registered vehicles in the three metropolitan cities of Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai. According to the Economic Survey of Delhi 2025-26, an additional 643,000 vehicles were added in the national capital, which incidentally is the largest single-year increase in nine years. Farmer unions emphasise that the larger lesson emerging is that Delhi's pollution crisis cannot be solved through a single-point blame game; while largely acknowledging the need to reduce stubble burning, they urge for solutions to be practical, incentive-based and equitable.

When 8-year-old Alia Bhatt said 'Actress banungi'

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 12 (IANS) One of the most bankable actresses in Bollywood, Alia Bhatt has always had a clear picture of her future, and her throwback appearance on the popular chat show, 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, is proof.

Kaali Kheti director says he wrote Jackie Shroff, Sharad Kelkars parts while keeping them in mind

Sharad Kelkar's PERFECT imitation of Jackie Shroff steals the show at Kaali Kheti trailer launch; talks about dubbing for Yash in Ramayana and jokes, Teeno lokon mein sirf Kelkar raaj hoga!

Jackie Shroff, Sharad Kelkar, Neha Sargam, Spandan Sameer Javalagi, director Haris Imtiyaz Khan, cinematographer Kiran Deohans, and producer Sana Khan attended the trailer launch of Kaali Kheti at a multiplex in Mumbai. As expected, Jackie Shroff was in his element and raised laughs in his Bhidu style dialogues. But the surprise of the afternoon was Sharad Kelkar. Sharad Kelkar began by saying how he bagged the film, I was at a farm in Karjat when I was told by a friend that Haris would come and narrate a script to me. When youre on a holiday, you need to request your wife, Just give me 30 minutes. Ill hear the script and then come back. She agreed. They came and when they left, my wife told me, 3 ghante ho gaye hain tumko! I reasoned, Kahaani acchi thi; isliye sunn raha tha. Toh iski wajah se jhagda hua. Lekin uss jhagde ka phal accha hua (laughs). He then surprised one and all by perfectly mimicking Jackie Shroff. In Jackies style, he said, Bhidu, bada maza aaya tumhaare saath kaam karke, bhidu! Kaayko itna tension lene ka, bhidu? Subah aane ka, shooting karne ka, ghar jaane ka, bhidu. Bas! During the Q-and-A session with the media, a journalist remarked how Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar looked convincing as father and son. Sharad quipped, Handsome log aise hi dikhte hain! Usme koi badi baat nahin hain! Jackie Shroff praised Sharad, Yeh itna khoobsurat actor hain ki kuch bhi kar sakta hai woh! Sharad was overwhelmed and he hugged Jackie Shroff. Sharad Kelkar revealed, If you shoot with him (Jackie Shroff) for 4 days, youll start talking like him! We play farmers in the film. I naturally look a bit tanned. We were shooting in open fields. So, my boy would hold the umbrella for me. He would tell me, Kya kar le raha hai, bhidu? Idhar aa dhoop mein, dhoop kha. Vitamin D le, bhidu. Yet again, Sharads imitation of Jackie Shroff was spot-on and it brought the house down. Even Jackie Shroff was amused. Sharad then continued his story and said that he had no choice but to ditch the umbrella and stand under the harsh sun. He added, I automatically got very tanned, as a result! Towards the end of the event, a journalist praised Sharad Kelkar for voicing Yash as Ravana in Ramayana. Sharad Kelkar, in a lighter vein, stated, Teeno lokon mein sirf ek ji raaj hoga, Kelkar raaj! He continued, On a serious note, I must compliment Yash. The way he has performed in the film, nobody could have done it. He is such a brilliant actor. His thehrav and the way he has essayed the part, I think it's phenomenal. Hence, hes getting immense appreciation. In fact, it was a challenge to dub for him because he was so good in the film.

Manoj Bajpayee says it is very difficult to be a masterji in today's times; opens up on his character in Last Man In Tower

Manoj Bajpayee has opened up about the challenges of portraying Masterji in Last Man In Tower, revealing how the characters unwavering principles differ from the pragmatism required to navigate the world today. The actor, who plays a man deeply rooted in his values and convictions in the Ben Rekhi directorial, believes that maintaining such an uncompromising stance has become increasingly difficult in the present environment. Speaking about his character, Manoj highlighted the contrast between Masterjis approach to life and his own understanding of navigating todays competitive world. He said, Masterji is a very principled person, and I think it is very difficult to be someone like him in today's time. I cannot even imagine being as uncompromising as he is because the world I operate in is very different. Today, we live in an extremely competitive environment where we have to be intelligently principled and stubborn about what we want. Having said that, I do share certain similarities with Masterji. I have my own set of values, ethics, and truths that I refuse to compromise on. However, navigating today's world requires a certain amount of pragmatism. Masterji, on the other hand, represents a rare kind of conviction, where his principles remain non-negotiable, irrespective of the circumstances. The role required Manoj to explore a character whose strength is reflected not only through his actions but also through his silences and convictions. Masterjis emotional depth, dignity and vulnerability make him a layered figure, with the actor drawing attention to the difficulty of sustaining the kind of moral certainty that defines him. For Manoj, who has portrayed a wide range of characters throughout his career, the role also presented an opportunity to approach a personality whose values are tested by the circumstances around him. Based on Aravind Adigas acclaimed novel of the same name, Last Man In Tower explores the emotional significance of home, the fragility of community and the difficult choices that emerge when individual convictions clash with collective aspirations. Set against the backdrop of Mumbais redevelopment landscape, the film examines middle-class aspirations and the complexities of human behaviour. Directed by Ben Rekhi and produced by Rana Daggubatis Spirit Media, the film also stars Boman Irani and Divya Dutta alongside Manoj Bajpayee. Following its theatrical release, Last Man In Tower is now reaching a wider audience and is streaming exclusively on Hindi Zee5.

Taking to Instagram, she shared her video with the caption, 15 Years of Rockstar And 15 Years of Katiya Karun Rahman sir, thank you for trusting me with Katiya Karun. Irshad Kamil sahab, aapke lafzon ko awaaz dena mere liye bahut khaas raha. Imtiaz sir, thank you for making me a part of Rockstar. Aur Ranbir Kapoor aur Nargis Fakhri, thank you for bringing this song to life on screen. Iss safar ka hissa bankar hamesha grateful rahungi. Aur aap sabka shukriya, jo 15 saal baad bhi iss gaane ko utna hi pyaar dete hain. Recalling how she got the opportunity to sing Katiya Karun, Harshdeep shared that she received a call from Rahman asking her to visit his studio for a song in Rockstar. When she reached the studio and saw the lyrics, she was delighted to learn that she would be singing a Punjabi song for the film. Hi, this is Harshdeep Kaur. And today, 15 years have passed since the completion of the movie Rockstar. I still remember that day. I got a call from Rehman sir. He said, come to my Bhawai studio. There's a song that I want you to sing. When I reached the studio, when he gave me the lyrics, he had written some words on it. Katya karo, tera roo, main saari raati katya karo. I was very happy from inside that I was getting to sing a Punjabi song for Rehman sir. And that too for the movie Rockstar. So, somewhere or the other, I manifested very strongly that I wish I had a song in this movie. And when I came home, I quickly opened my music diary, in which I write all my songs, revealed Harshdeep. She went on to add, And I wrote on it, music AR Rahman, lyrics Irshad Kamil, director Imtiaz Ali, singer Harshdeep Kaur. It was around 2 or 3 in the morning when we were recording this song. He took the lyrics of this song in his hand in front of me and composed it on the spot. There was a moment when he played a very beautiful guitar riff on the piano. And I thought of a poem by Sultan Bahu. This is what I sang. Jaisi yeh gaana release hua, iska first promo aaya aur woh tinglingling se shuru hua. And it became an instant hit. And aaj bhi iska gaane par itne saare reels ban raha hai. Aap sab isko apne daily life ka ya apne important moments ka, apne travel journeys ka ek hisa banate hain. So, I am really really grateful to all of you for giving so much love to this song. I feel honoured to be a part of this epic album called Rockstar. Katiya Karun, sung by Harshdeep Kaur, is one of the popular tracks from Imtiaz Alis 2011 film Rockstar, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri. Composed by A.R. Rahman, the song also features additional vocals by Sapna Awasthi. Rockstar was released worldwide in theatres on 11 November 2011.
