Kajol attends 80th North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja in red and orange silk saree; see pics
Kajol attended the unveiling of the Maa Durga protima at the 80th edition of the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja celebrations in Mumbai on October 15, 2026. Known for her regular participation in Durga Puja festivities, the actor marked the occasion in a traditional silk saree featuring shades of red, orange and gold. The annual celebration, which is among Mumbai's oldest and most prominent Durga Puja events, marked a milestone this year with its 80th edition. The pandal and Maa Durga protima drew inspiration from Kerala's Guruvayur Temple, bringing a distinct architectural theme to the festivities. Kajol attended the event alongside several members of her family and other industry personalities. Those present included her sister, Tanishaa Mukerji, cousin Ayan Mukerji and television actress Rupali Ganguly, along with other relatives and guests. The unveiling brought together members of the film and television fraternity as devotees gathered to mark the occasion. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) Kajol's traditional silk saree look For the festive event, Kajol opted for a silk saree that combined warm shades of orange and gold. The gold-toned sections added contrast to the outfit, while the fluid drape maintained a traditional silhouette suited to the religious celebration. She paired the saree with a bright red blouse featuring a deep neckline. The blouse also had subtle striped detailing on the sleeves, complementing the saree without adding excessive embellishment to the overall look. The actor completed her outfit with statement gold-toned earrings that matched the warm colour palette. Keeping the styling centred on traditional elements, Kajol's ensemble reflected the festive spirit of the occasion. A look at the 80-year-old Durga Puja celebration The North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja is widely recognised as one of Mumbai's oldest, largest and most prominent community Durga Puja celebrations. It is also popularly known as 'Mukherjee Bari Pujo' because of its longstanding association with the Mukherjee-Samrat family, which has connections to the Hindi film industry. The celebration was established in 1948 by Padma Shri Sashadhar Mukerji and his wife, Smt. Satirani Mukerji, along with 25 other founding members. Over the decades, the puja has become a gathering point for devotees, families and members of the entertainment industry during the Durga Puja season. With the 80th edition, the celebration continued its longstanding tradition of bringing together religious observance, community participation and familiar faces from the entertainment industry. Kajol's presence at the unveiling added to the family's association with the annual festivities, which remain an important part of Mumbai's Durga Puja celebrations.

Protests don't hurt businesses, govt restrictions do: CJP's Abhijit Dipke
Businesses do not suffer because of peaceful protests but when the government shuts down an entire city, suspends internet and restricts citizens' movement, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijit Dipke said on Friday. In a post on X, Dipke defended the party's commitment to peace and non-violence ahead of its proposed 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march at Central Park in Connaught Place. The CJP had organised protests in Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bengaluru and Nagpur, and all of them were peaceful, he said. Dipke said he was personally assaulted in Jaipur but chose not to retaliate, since responding to violence with violence went against the movement's principles. We would rather exercise the rights guaranteed to us by the Constitution, drafted under the leadership of Dr B R Ambedkar, than resort to physical force, he said. Rejecting attempts to portray CJP members as anarchists, Dipke said demanding answers from the government, protesting against injustice and questioning publi

Aditya Tare Backs Arsenal To Win Back-to-back Premier League Titles
Former Mumbai Indians: Former Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper Aditya Tare has backed English club Arsenal to defend their Premier League title, while he also believes that the Gunners will have a dominant phase in the competition in the coming years. Arsenal ended their 22-year-long wait for the Premier League title last season when Mikel Arteta guided the Gunners to the coveted trophy in a stellar European season, where they also made it to the final of the Champions League but ended up being second best to the reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners are currently second in the English top flight currently after a shock defeat in Brighton, as rivals Manchester City hold the top spot. However, with the season still in its early days, the Gunners would be looking to take the top spot back from City. Former IPL winner with MI, Tare, has been a long-time Arsenal fan and has backed the Gunners to win the Premier League title yet again, while he also revealed his banter with former India and Mumbai cricketer Abhishek Nayar. We've always had a lot of banter in the Mumbai cricket dressing room, with plenty of Manchester United supporters around, and Abhishek has been a Man City fan since the very beginning. It was tough being on the back foot all the time without winning the trophy and seeing City dominate. But after last season's title win, Arsenal and their fans have the bragging rights. On a serious note, Manchester City is a terrific club and has always put pressure on anyone challenging for the title. I believe it's going to be a tough title race this season as well. It's a great start for both clubs, but I think Arsenal will win back-to-back. That's my feeling, Tare told JioStar. Tare posed with the Premier League trophy, which is on a tour to Mumbai and said that it was a dream come true to see the Gunners win the previous season. It's a dream come true, to be honest. Growing up, I've supported Arsenal since I was a kid. I watched Arsenal win the Premier League in 2003-04 as Invincibles without losing a single game. Since then, it has been a very long wait for the next title win, and after so many years of waiting and coming so close, there was a huge sense of relief when we finally won the title last season. To now stand next to the Premier League trophy that Arsenal won after 22 years and see it in person, knowing what it means to the club and its fans, is really special. Seeing the trophy up close is a surreal feeling, especially as an Arsenal fan. I'm happy and proud of this team, Tare said. Taking the note out of Mumbai Indians' dominant days, he also believed that the Gunners will have a dominant period in the years to come. We spent 22 years without watching Arsenal lift the Premier League trophy, and our patience was tested for that long. The reward finally came with Arsenal winning the trophy last season. Once you win a trophy, I think it becomes a habit that will give you those back-to-back championships. Having been part of Mumbai Indians in the IPL in the past, winning back-to-back titles is a privilege not many get to experience. And I believe this Arsenal team, especially with Mikel Arteta as the manager, has got all the ingredients to dominate in the Premier League in the coming years. We spent 22 years without watching Arsenal lift the Premier League trophy, and our patience was tested for that long. The reward finally came with Arsenal winning the trophy last season. Once you win a trophy, I think it becomes a habit that will give you those back-to-back championships. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Zulfiqar Memon, the managing partner of MZM Legal, was contacted for his input on the matter. He refused to comment at this stage. On October 13, BJP leader and former MP Kirit Somaiya approached the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and immigration authorities, urging them to issue a Look Out Circular (LOC) against actor Imran Khan. Talking about Imran, he first appeared as a child artist in the films Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak in 1998 and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar in 1992. He made his adult acting debut in 2008 with the romantic comedy Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, which was a success. After the failure of his next two films, he then starred in a number of commercially successful romantic comedies such as I Hate Luv Storys, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu and the action comedy thriller Delhi Belly.

It also stars Mithila Palkar, Mona Singh, Sharib Hashmi and Srushti Tawade. The film marked Imran's comeback roughly ten years after he last starred in Katti Batti in 2015.

Ranveer Brar says being a chef, hes used to working in pressure cooker environment
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 16 (IANS) Celebrity Chef Ranveer Brar, who is receiving a lot of good response to his quiz show Yess Chef, is quite comfortable with pressure, as he has been dealing with it since a long time. The celebrity chef and actor spoke with IANS in the Andheri West area of Mumbai during the promotions of his show, and said that being in a professional kitchen has made him immune to pressure as chefs have to work in a fast paced environment with chaos chasing them. He told IANS, Yes, as chefs, we get used to it. Our environment is a pressure cooker environment. That's why people in The Traitors also said, You don't care, so many people are crying, how can you be so calm?. In the kitchen, around 600 cooks are working, some are running here, some are running there. If we also start running with them, then there will be no work. So, some dealing with pressure, I get because of being a chef. And some, after a point in time, you realize that you are not in control, that's how much you feel. When you leave the control, then the pressure goes. Talking about how much he has learnt to deal with pressure from his Ustaad, he said, My Ustad ji basically said that fundamentally, food is like making fire, you just help. So, if you make yourself bigger in relation to fire and food, then you unnecessarily put pressure on yourself. So, the biggest pressure is the pressure of expectations. When we make ourselves bigger in our mind, if we keep ourselves small in our mind, then there is no pressure, he shared. Earlier, Ranveer had shared advice to ensure food safety in homes, and said that the best way to get quality products on kitchen platforms or dining tables is to shop from local markets. He earlier told IANS, I believe that first of all, do your own shopping from local markets. That is very important if we talk about freshness. All of us have stopped going to the vegetable market. The 10-minute apps have changed the culture of shopping from vegetable markets. When you see fresh vegetables on the whole cart, you understand the value of fresh food. Even if you get a small packet of cabbage, you don't enjoy it, he added.

Zoya Hussain says her co-actors had more baggage, responsibility while working on Hunkkaar The Roar
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 16 (IANS) Actress Zoya Hussain, who is receiving a lot of positive response to her recently released streaming series Hunkkaar The Roar, has shared that despite the shows heavy content, it was far easier for her to walk in and out of her character. The actress spoke with IANS along with Fatima Sana Shaikh and Raghubir Yadav at a 5-star property during the promotions in the city. She told IANS, For me, on this particular project, it was not difficult to switch on and off. It was far easier for me, at least, than it was for my co-actors because I didn't have the same amount of responsibility, or baggage, or whatever. They had a lot more to do than I did. So, on this particular project, it was not so difficult. Otherwise, it just depends on the intensity of the role, the intensity of your day. Sometimes, your character is very heavy. But if your day is light, it's fine. So, it's really subjective, she added. Earlier, the actress spoke up on the state of affairs when it comes to women safety. When asked if where the society has gone wrong, given that even 2026, the safety of women cant be ensured, she said, So many places we've gone wrong. This is the state of women across the world. In our country definitely, but in every country in the world. She earlier said, Theres no place in the world where you can be like, This is a great place for women. It's in all sectors, across professions, across countries, and across classes. It's ridiculous. In the past 50, 60, 70, 100 years, things have changed in terms of the agency that women have, the opportunities that women are getting are better. But it's not an ideal situation anywhere.

Naomi Ackie praises Clayface director James Watkins for balancing horror, emotion and action
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 16 (IANS) Actress Naomi Ackie has heaped praise on James Watkins for striking the right balance between horror, action, emotion and storytelling in Clayface, saying the filmmakers collaborative approach and leadership helped create an open, enthusiastic and fun atmosphere on set. Ackie said: I think the tone and finding it is really what James is so amazing - for you want to be on the same alignment. You want to be able to find each others rhythms and language when communicating on a set. And that goes for the people who are working on a set, crew, cast, everyone. But also, when it comes to the rhythm of the scenes. Where is there levity? Where is there darkness? Where is there a somberness? How much can we pack into each scene, so the audience is getting as much information about these characters and feels as invested as we are about these characters as possible? Your understanding of the tone strengthens as time goes on. She went on to share that as the shoot goes on, you dont have to think about it as much. It comes from Jamess direction. It comes from him being a really good leader. And the great thing about James is hes really open to collaboration. Hes open to suggestions. Hes also open for a laugh, which really helps. There are so many moments where you just need to think, Okay, were just making a movie. She concluded: And having someone whos really chill to do that with you is paramount, because so much of this job is about feeling comfortable around people, especially the person that you listen to the most, which is the director. It was really an open set, really enthusiastic and fun. Tom Rhys Harries plays Matt Hagen, a man from the wrong side of the tracks who has worked hard for and earned his burgeoning acting career, which is ripped from him by an act of cruelty.

Welcome competition in satellite communications, including Starlink: Reliance
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 16 (IANS) Reliance Industries Ltd (REL) on Friday said that Indias rules apply equally to domestic and foreign companies in the field of satellite communications, amid Elon Musks criticism of the regulatory hurdles facing Starlink in the country. In a statement, the company said, we welcome competition in satellite communications, including Starlink. Every player, Jio included, must serve the people of India and abide by the laws and policies of the land, said REL in its statement. In light of recent remarks about Reliance and the Indian market, we wish to place the facts on record. Like every Indian enterprise, Reliance has grown in an India that welcomes investment and innovation, homegrown or international, that improve the lives of the people, the company added. It further stated that openness rests on the rule of law. As the Government of India has stated, it applies the same process to every applicant, Indian or foreign. Jio's own satellite services await clearances. At Reliance, we have never feared competition. We see it as the truest test of who serves the customer best. Jio itself entered India's crowded telecom market in 2016 as the newest player, with not a single customer, the company noted. In just 10 years, Jio has earned the trust of over 530 million customers and given Indians some of the best digital infrastructure and most affordable data in the world. Starlink has secured a licence to provide satellite communication services in India, but the company still requires security-related clearances and other approvals before it can commercially launch its service. Last week, Musk took a swipe at billionaire Mukesh Ambani over Starlink's entry into India, calling him Dear Prime Minister Ambani, and accusing him of seeking to maintain a monopoly and questioning whether he would allow the satellite internet service to compete in the country. In a post on X, Musk addressed Ambani as the eal boss of India and apologised for not recognising his influence. Dear Prime Minister Ambani, Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India, Musk posted. Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete? he added.
