Farah Khan has opened up about her early experiences working with Akshaye Khanna, recalling a time when the actors behaviour made him challenging to choreograph. The filmmaker and choreographer also acknowledged the change she noticed in Akshaye after Dil Chahta Hai and praised his dancing abilities. During a conversation on choreographers Bosco and Caesars podcast Dance Masti, Farah spoke about her experience of working with Akshaye in the earlier phase of his career. Recalling those days, she said, At one time, Akshaye Khanna used to be very difficult to work with. Farah went on to mention some of the projects where they worked together, including Doli Saja Ke Rakhna and Laawaris. She said, I have done Doli Saja Ke Rakhna with him, then a couple of other movies, Laawaris and something else. He, I think, himself has confessed in interviews that he was very difficult. He was very irritable and wouldn't want to stand. The choreographer admitted that the experience eventually led her to decide against working on Akshayes songs. I said if it is Akshaye Khannas song, I dont want to choreograph it, she recalled. However, Farah also pointed out that she noticed a transformation in the actor after Dil Chahta Hai. According to her, Akshaye became more comfortable with dance and performance over time. After Dil Chahta Hai, he had a transformation, I think. In Tees Maar Khan, he was too good. He is actually a very good dancer. But I was very clear that I don't want to work with artists who are irritating, she said. Meanwhile, Akshaye has continued to remain selective about his public appearances. He was recently spotted in Mumbai having lunch with filmmaker and friend Rajat Rawail. His appearance came around the time of the Drishyam 3 trailer launch. Akshaye had reportedly exited the third instalment following a disagreement with the makers over his look and fees, with Jaideep Ahlawat subsequently taking over the role. Akshaye was also seen in Aditya Dhars Dhurandhar, which released in December 2025 and featured Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan and Arjun Rampal. The actor is now set to appear as Shukracharya in Mahakali. The makers have released a nearly three-minute glimpse titled Shukracharyas War Cry, giving audiences a look at his portrayal of the powerful guru of the Asuras.

Celina Jaitly remembers late son Shamsher on his birthday: Im heartbroken
Celina Jaitly remembered her late son Shamsher on his birthday on Thursday with an emotional post on social media. The actor shared a video she had recorded during a visit to Austria earlier this year, explaining that she was unsure when she would be able to return and wanted to preserve the moment as a memory. In her Instagram post, Celina spoke about her wish as a mother and shared that she hopes to be reunited with her son even after her lifetime. She wrote, My wish is that when my life reaches its natural end, I be cremated in my homeland, India, & my ashes be laid to rest with my son, Shamsher, in Austria. A mother's wish to be close to the child she could not hold for long enough. Addressing Shamsher, Celina explained why she had recorded the video during her Austria visit. She wrote, I did not get to see your brothers during that visit. Mummy is heartbroken, my son, but Mummy is strong. I keep going & keep living for your brothers, carrying all four of you in my heart, adding, Today, you were born alongside Arthu. You left us so soon afterwards, but you have never left me. She also reflected on the bond between Shamsher and his brothers, writing, I have seen the longing for you in Arthu's eyes & heard it in his words. I believe you watch over him. And somehow, through everything, I feel you watching over me too. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Celina Jaitly (@celinajaitlyofficial) Celina further spoke about the personal and legal difficulties she has faced while trying to navigate her family life. She wrote, I left my country, my parents, my work & everything familiar to build a life with my family. Today, I sometimes feel as though I must explain in words & documents what has lived in every breath of me since becoming a mother. How does a mother put a lifetime of love in front of a court?\ The actor also apologised to Shamsher for having to express her feelings through a recording rather than speaking directly to his brothers. She concluded her message by saying, I am sorry, my darling, that I have to say this through a recording. I wish I could speak to your brothers directly & remind them myself: Mummy is always here. My love has never moved away from you. None of you has to do anything to earn it. It is yours, forever. Happy birthday, my darling Shamsher & my darling Arthu. I will always be the mother of both the babies I brought into this world that day. Watch over Winston, Viraaj & Arthu, my son, while Mummy keeps finding the strength to move forward. Until we meet again, my darling Shamsher. Until we meet again. Forever your Mummy, she concluded. Celina is married to Austrian entrepreneur and hotelier Peter Haag. The couple welcomed twin boys in March 2012. In 2017, they welcomed another set of twin boys, but Shamsher died shortly after birth due to a heart defect. Celina has also been involved in legal proceedings concerning her family. In November 2025, she filed a case under the Domestic Violence Act against her husband in a Mumbai court, alleging emotional, physical, sexual and verbal abuse. She reportedly sought damages of Rs 50 crores, monthly maintenance of Rs 10 lakh and custody of their children. Her brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Jaitly, was detained in the UAE in September 2024 in connection with an alleged national security matter. Celina later approached the Delhi High Court, which in November 2025 directed the Ministry of External Affairs to extend legal assistance to him.

Meghna Gulzar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Gulzar attended the song launch of Daayra at a five-star hotel in Mumbai. The event started very late but Kareena took the cake with her answers. Kareena Kapoor Khan began by saying, I am actually nervous for the first time because sharing the stage with Gulzar saab is a very, very, very big moment for any actor. Since childhood, I have seen his films. My mother-in-law, Sharmila ji (Sharmila Tagore), had the opportunity to work in so many films with him. The circle is complete because her daughter-in-law got to work with his daughter! Woh career hi kya hai agar uss career mein ek Gulzar saab ka gaana na ho! For me, its a full circle. I am just really happy that I got to work, sit next to you and under your blessings and wings, I got this opportunity to work with Meghna! A touched Gulzar replied, Bahut, bahut shukriya, beta, and all my blessings to all of you. Kareena is said to be the queen of expressions and she was asked about it. She said, Meghna is a taskmaster! She knows how to keep everyone in control. Her personality is such that she is loving and kind and yet she has that command on the set. I have worked with many directors in 26 years of my career. I have had great relationships with them. But with Meghna, it was like I had to always be in check. Even when I would be coming to shoot, I was like, No, no, we have to reach half an hour before! I dont want Meghna to get upset about anything (laughs). So, after 26 years, to have that makes me feel like a newcomer. It keeps us going as actors. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) She raised laughs as she said, My character Ajooni is very restrained. As you guys know, I am very expressive. Trailer launch pe maine sau expressions diye. Mujhe film mein mauka nahin mila; isliye maine trailer launch pe kar diya! She joked, In many shots, the camera was always on my face. But my legs were always shaking as I would wonder woh Bebo wala expression kab aayega! And shed be like No! Then, on an emotional note, Kareena Kapoor Khan added, I cant wait for September 18, the day Daayra releases. I want the audience to give me a birthday present as my birthday is on September 21. Hence, I am sure it's going to be amazing (smiles).

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) Actress Mona Vasu is set to join Zee TVs popular show Jagadhatri as ACP Geeta. Mona Vasu, who plays ACP Geeta in Jagadhatri, said, I am extremely excited to be a part of Jagadhatri. It is a very different show and, unlike the usual saas-bahu drama, it has a strong mix of action, suspense and intriguing twists. I am playing the role of ACP Geeta, which is also very different from the characters I have portrayed before. She is a strong, confident woman and a police officer, making it a very powerful role. She added, I have always enjoyed playing powerful characters, and ACP Geeta is definitely one that I am thoroughly enjoying. What makes this entry even more exciting is the point at which Geeta enters the story. She is going to bring about several changes and will play a very important role in Jagadhatris life. At this point, when Jagadhatri has been arrested for Rudras murder, Geetas entry will add another layer to the ongoing mystery and bring several new twists to the story.

Jagadhatri has also recently completed 300 episodes, which is a wonderful milestone, and I am sure the audience will enjoy this new chapter of the show. With ACP Geetas entry and the twists that follow, there is a lot in store for viewers. I hope I am able to make a special place in the hearts of the audience as ACP Geeta and that they enjoy watching this new journey unfold. She will be seen bringing a new dimension to the ongoing murder mystery and Jagadhatris battle to prove her innocence. The show has recently completed 300 episodes and has taken a dramatic turn with Jagadhatri (Sonakshi Batra) being arrested for the alleged murder of Rudra (Ayushh Shrivastava), unaware that Rudra is actually alive and plotting against her. Meanwhile, Shivaay (Farman Haider) has stepped away from Jagadhatri as she had wanted, leaving her to face the crisis on her own. At this crucial point in the story, Mona Vasu enters as ACP Geeta, a strong and confident police officer whose arrival is expected to bring several twists to the ongoing track.

Aur mujhe aise lagta hai ki jo Marathi music ki power hai na, woh poore desh mein, videsh mein le jaane ke liye Ajay-Atul sir ka bahut bada haath hai. (I think I have been one of those lucky artists who have been fortunate enough to get some really amazing songs.

Star Cast: Manoj Bajpayee, Divya Dutta, Boman Irani Director: Ben Rekhi Last Man In Tower Movie Review Synopsis: LAST MAN IN TOWER is the story of a man and his principles. The year is 2010. Yogesh Mishra (Manoj Bajpayee) lives alone in a 2BHK flat in Vishram Society in Vakola, Mumbai. The building, built in 1961, is dilapidated, and renovation work has stalled because some members, struggling to make ends meet, cannot contribute to the expenses. At this juncture, builder Dharmen Shah (Boman Irani) of Determination Group enters their lives. He realizes that Vishram Society enjoys a prime location, being in close proximity to the airport, BKC and Dharavi, the latter of which is expected to emerge as a major financial centre in the future. Hence, he plans to demolish Vishram Society and build a residential complex called Shanghai in its place. In return, he offers the residents 2.5 times the market value of their flats. In other words, the residents are promised Rs. 25,000 per sq ft for their homes. Most of them are overjoyed by the seemingly too-good-to-be-true offer. Yogesh, however, refuses to accept it due to a past experience and also because the flat holds cherished memories of his late wife. A few elderly residents initially stand by him as well. His refusal soon creates friction among the residents and turns the once-harmonious society into a divided house. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Last Man In Tower Movie Story Review: LAST MAN IN TOWER is based on the book of the same name by Aravind Adiga. The story is very relevant in today's times. Sooni Taraporevala's screenplay is simple and captivating. But it loses steam in the third act. Juhi Chaturvedi's dialogues are realistic and also a bit dramatic as required. Ben Rekhi's direction is decent. The characters are presented in a very realistic and relatable manner. Moreover, with the redevelopment boom at an all-time high in urban areas, one can easily connect with the goings-on. Many of us have witnessed similar conflicts around us a section of residents, especially the younger ones, are more than willing to give up their flats in return for a handsome sum, a bigger residence and modern amenities in a plush new building. On the other hand, the older residents are often reluctant to give up their homes, thereby leading to friction. In LAST MAN IN TOWER, this conflict turns the best of friends into sworn enemies, with a few residents going to insane lengths to get their way. Some scenes that work well in this regard are the ones where the secretary, Kothari (Harish Khanna), forges Yogesh's signature and when thieves break into Yogesh's flat. On the flipside, the film gets a bit abstract after a point. The scene where Yogesh suddenly starts talking to birds seems out of place and forced. Interestingly, a few scenes shown in the trailer are missing from the final film; their inclusion could have possibly enhanced the impact. The climax is shocking and is likely to leave viewers divided. Lastly, the buzz around the film is minimal, which could prove detrimental to its box-office prospects. Last Man In Tower Movie Review Performances: Manoj Bajpayee delivers a very heartfelt and heroic performance of a man who doesnt flinch even when the world is against him. The character is not without flaws and even that is subtly presented by the talented actor. Boman Irani gets his act right as a greedy builder who can go to any lengths. However, his illness angle is barely utilized; the film would have worked without focusing on it as well. Divya Dutta (Sangeeta Puri) has a crucial character and as always, she comes out with flying colours. Playing Sangeeta is a challenge as shes complicated, but Divya makes her act effortless. Among the other residents, Chandan Roy Sanyal (Ramesh Ajwani) leaves the maximum mark followed by Uday Chandra (Mr Pinto), Madhuri Bhatia (Mrs Pinto), Harish Khanna and Swaroopa Ghosh (Mrs Rego; single mother). Sukant Goel (Gaurav Mishra; Yogesh's son) leaves a huge mark. Sarika Singh (Sonal Mishra; Yogesh's daughter-in-law) and Srikant Yadav (Shanmugham; Dharmen's aide) are fair. Last Man In Tower movie music and other technical aspects: Govind Vasantha's music gets no scope. Govind Vasantha's background score is in sync with the film's mood. Rangarajan Ramabadran's cinematography has a cinematic appeal. Sachin Lovalekar's costumes are very realistic, while Rakesh Kumar Yadav's production design is straight out of life. Meghna Manchanda Sen and Akshara Prabhakar's editing is appropriate. Last Man In Tower Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, LAST MAN IN TOWER rests on a highly relatable premise and is elevated by sincere performances, especially by Manoj Bajpayee and Divya Dutta. However, the uneven third act, abstract treatment in portions and a divisive climax dilute its overall impact. At the box office, the film will need strong word of mouth to overcome its low buzz and make a mark.
Star Cast: Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan Director: Priyadarshan Haiwaan Movie Review Synopsis: HAIWAAN is the story of a blind man fighting a notorious man. Shyam (Saif Ali Khan) is a young, blind man who works as a maintenance manager in an upscale society of Mumbai. His family is based in Devgad; his sister Shraddha (Yamini Joshi) is about to get married and Shyam needs to raise money for it and also to pay off a loan. Shyam is very close to Judge Pradhan (Boman Irani), the ex-chief justice of India, a resident of the same society where Shyam works. Pradhan confides to Shyam about a guilt that he's carrying since a long time and it is associated with a man called Parshuram (Akshay Kumar). Pradhan is trying to find him but is unable to do so. Unknown to Pradhan, Parshuram has set his eyes on him and is waiting for the right opportunity to attack the former. What Parshuram doesn't realize is that a blind man will wreak havoc for him. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Haiwaan Movie Story Review: HAIWAAN is adapted from the Malayalam film OPPAM [2016]. Priyadarshan's story has immense potential. However, Priyadarshan, Abilash Nair and Rohan Shankar's screenplay is weak, stretched and disjointed. Rohan Shankar's dialogues are fine. Some funny one-liners are in trademark Priyadarshan style but dont have the same impact as his previous films. Priyadarshan's direction has its moments. To give credit where its due, a few scenes are interesting, especially the ones involving Shyam and Parshuram. Whenever the two face off, the interest levels automatically go up. A massy scene involving Shyam at the police station is clapworthy, though it comes too late in the day. The phone booth sequence also takes one by surprise. The work of the technical team is first-rate and helps enhance the tension in several scenes. On the flipside, the first half is disjointed and it takes a while to understand how the various characters are connected. The numerous songs further make the proceedings tedious. A few aspects are also never properly explained. Shyam is a maintenance manager employed by the society, yet he frequently takes leave to accompany Judge Pradhan to the hills and even to meet Nandini (Pahal Ashok Choudhary). It is also bewildering how Parshuram managed to amass so much wealth. Another major issue is that the film has too many subplots, and most of them are not tied up satisfactorily. The culmination of the Devgad track is abrupt, while the female characters don't get their proper due towards the end. The climax fight is meant to be nail-biting but ends up being unintentionally funny. Haiwaan Movie Review Performances: Akshay Kumar gets his act right, and the way he lets his silence do the talking is impressive. However, his dialogue delivery is a bit over-the-top. Moreover, his screen time is limited, especially in the first half. Saif Ali Khan has the maximum screen time and delivers an effective performance. His portrayal of a visually impaired man is convincing, and he also impresses in the action scenes where he takes on the baddies. Boman Irani is dependable as always. Saiyami Kher (Inspector Varsha) is decent, though her role seems too similar to JAAT [2025]. Shriya Pilgaonkar (Naina) is fair but is let down by the writing. The same goes for Sharib Hashmi (Senior Inspector Ashok Shinde), while a few of his jokes fail to land. Late Asrani (Security Guard Hussein) is adorable. Rajesh Sharma (SP Rohit Vardhan) is okay, while Pahal Ashok Choudhary is cute. Yamini Joshi, Manoj Joshi (Pandurang) and Suchitra Pillai (Catherine D'Souza; Principal) are good in small roles. Haiwaan movie music and other technical aspects: Pritam's music is forgettable. 'Rangiyara', 'Mere Hero Hai Woh' and the marriage song dont work as intended. Ronnie Raphael's background score enhances the tension. Divakar Mani's cinematography is superior and the silhouette shots especially stand out. Stunt Silva and Ravi Thyagarajan's action is realistic. Sabu Cyril's production design is superior, and Komal Shahani Mohan & V Sai Babu's costumes are convincing. Aiyappan Nair M S's editing is weak; the film should have been shorter by 30 minutes. Haiwaan Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, HAIWAAN rests on Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumars performances, a few engaging face-offs and strong technical values. However, the disjointed screenplay, excessive subplots, weak songs and an underwhelming climax limit its impact. With the hype around the film also being quite low, its box-office prospects appear dim.

In an exclusive quote shared with IANS, the actor said he feels that getting an opportunity is only the beginning. Staying in the industry for years requires constant effort because every new project brings a new challenge.

Further elaborating on his approach to personal growth, Krushal said that having doubts can be a positive thing when it pushes a person to introspect and improve. Doubts are good for your growth, he said, explaining that constantly analyzing oneself and questioning whether one is doing well can help identify areas that need improvement. Krushal considers himself his own biggest critic and makes it a point to regularly assess his performances, identify his shortcomings, and work on them. Asked how he continues to evolve as an actor, Krushal said, By simply trying to be better than what I was yesterday.

Jabse dadaji guzar gaye, vaha ka Ganesh Chaturthi band ho gaya hai lekin mere saare Kapoor family ke gharon mein Ganesh Chaturthi aaj bhi hota hai. So it is a very important part of our family and hum sabhi jaate hain chahe hum kahin bhi ho, shooting chal rahi hai kuch bhi ho raha hai inn 10 dino mein hum zaroor darshan karne jaate hain.

Normally, when we talk about Lord Shiva or anyone elder to us, whether it is an elder brother, younger brother, father or mother, we always address them respectfully as aap. But Bappa is the only God whom we address as tu. We may call him Ganpati Ji and all, but we also say, Bappa, ha maza Bappa aahe! Bappa is my Bappa! So, he is a friend, he is a brother, he is God, he is everything to us.)

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) Pallavi Sharda, who was seen starring opposite Ranbir Kapoor in the 2013 film Besharam, will be seen starring in a French-Indian romance 'Stay'.

Turning to the caption section, the actress wrote about her latest project with filmmaker Rohena Gera. You make film. And then you sell the film. That is how you do it.

I pinched myself every time I got to zoom with Rohena in the lead up to this film and delve deeply into our feelings and the mythologies that surrounded us as women operating across lands and cultures - in exploring the strangeness of constant cultural oscillation, she wrote. Films are a weird world. They suck you in to vortexes of creation, the aliveness of which exists just as much when the cameras are not rolling. She said every film takes actors deep into themselves, making the pauses between projects equally important for processing and integrating the experience. The actress added: The pauses between sets sometimes brings emptiness, yearning, but also synthesis the experience of each film portal for an actor takes you so deep inside parts of yourself that you need the pauses in between to integrate. Im still integrating this one. Besharam was directed by Abhinav Kashyap. The film also features Ranbir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor and Javed Jaffrey also feature in the film. The film follows Babli is a small-time thief who steals cars in order to support a noble cause. His life takes an interesting turn when he falls in love with Tara and decides to mend his ways.

At that time, it felt disappointing, but looking back, I realize something better was always waiting for me. In all those moments, I have truly felt Bappa's blessings guiding me. His presence reminds me to trust the process, to have patience, and to keep moving forward even when things get difficult. It is that faith that gives me strength and keeps me going.

With faith and hard work, everything eventually falls into place, he said.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) Animals rights activist and former Union Minister Maneka Gandhi urged film-makers and actors against depiction of animal cruelty in movies, saying that since people are heavily influenced by films, they consider the act as justified. The animal rights activist had earlier announced in a press conference that the second edition of 'CineKind Awards' will be presented on October 4. Launched by the Film Federation of India (FFI) and People for Animals (PFA) last year, the CineKind is a dedicated platform celebrating kindness in cinema in general, with a focus on compassion towards animals. Speaking to IANS, Maneka Gandhi said that she has involved Bollywood actors in the initiative as people tend to follow them. When asked about animal cruelty during film shoots, Gandhi said: It used to happen during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Later, the government and I worked together to enact a law, requiring that anyone engaging in such practices or breaking the law must present their film before the Animal Welfare Board of India. This began in the year 2000, and after that, the film industry reformed itself very rigorously. Following those reforms, very few filmspractically negligibleremain, that depict or inflict cruelty on animals. In fact, when you watch a film now, it has to state on screen: 'No animal was hurt during the shooting of this film.' Additionally, illegal acts such as keeping birds in cages, throwing animals from heights, and similar practices have vanished. Moving forward, things can only improve, she added. Maneka Gandhi asserted that no film can break the law now. The Censor Board has also become very vigilant...Still there are one or two films that somehow slip through where cruelty is inflicted on an animal. That is unacceptable because the question is not just what was done to a single animalthe real issue is that films completely influence and change public attitude. When people see a major filmstar keeping a bird caged, everyone starts doing it. If someone abuses an animal, viewers assume it is justified. That is why it must not be done, she stated. Further, the animal rights activist urged actors who advocate for animal rights to become vegan themselves, saying: We can only authentically stand for who and what we truly are. Meanwhile, Maneka Gandhi also urged for a ban on the consumption of restricted animals, especially in Nagaland.

Preity Zinta on balancing motherhood and work: I couldnt have come here if I didnt have help
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) Actress and entrepreneur Preity Zinta has opened up about balancing motherhood with her professional commitments. Speaking to IANS, the Soldier actress stated that while managing multiple responsibilities is not easy, having a strong support system has made it possible for her to pursue different things in life. Preity said women are naturally capable of multitasking and highlighted how working mothers often continue to shoulder family responsibilities even after returning from work. Women are natural multitaskers. If you look at your mom or my mom, she might not have a job but her job is to look after my dad, three children, the household, so many things. So, women are natural multitaskers. Now women have become super women because there are a lot of women who are working and then they come home and they're still taking care of the kids, she said. Preity acknowledged that juggling a career and motherhood can be challenging, but said she considers herself fortunate to have the resources and support needed to manage both. I am very lucky and fortunate and I'm very grateful to God that I have a lot more means so I can have help. I couldn't have come here if I didn't have help. The Dil Se actress also stressed that while support can ease the challenges of balancing professional and personal responsibilities, it cannot replace a mother. Of course, no one can substitute for the mother but my mom is there, we have other people. So yes, it's not easy but then if you want different things in life then you have to put everything aside and see different things at different times. So obviously it's not easy but it's not that tough also when you have the means, she added. The Veer-Zaara actor also praised women who manage work and family responsibilities without the same resources, saying their efforts deserve appreciation. There are a lot of women who don't have the means and they are doing it. So when I look at those situations I say hats off to them and I'm very grateful to God that I do have those choices, she said. Preity Zinta is based in Los Angeles, California, where she lives with her American husband, Gene Goodenough, and their twins, Jai and Gia. The actress took an extended break from films to focus on her personal life, embrace motherhood and manage her business ventures. After an eight-year hiatus, she made her return to the silver screen with the period drama Batwara 1947, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and backed by Aamir Khan Productions. Starring Sunny Deol, the film was released in theatres on August 14, 2026.
DRI seizes gold worth Rs 3 crore at Mumbai airport, four arrested
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) In continuation of its operation against smuggling of precious metals, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized gold dust worth over Rs five crore and arrested four people, including two staffers, from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai, officials said on Friday. An official statement said that 3.5 kg of gold dust worth Rs 5.5 crore has been seized by the DRI, leading to the arrest of four people, including two staffers at the airport and two transit passengers. According to officials, the accused were allegedly part of an international gold smuggling syndicate operating through the airport in Mumbai. In a similar operation last month, the DRI seized gold worth over Rs three crore from a train passenger at Nagpur in Maharashtra. Upon receiving a tip-off that gold, smuggled across the India-Bangladesh border, was being transported further by train, a DRI Nagpur team conducted an operation at Nagpur Railway Station and detained a passenger. An official statement said that the passenger was arrested with 2.165 kg of gold. The estimated value of the seized gold is reported to be Rs 3.09 crore. According to the intelligence received, the gold had been smuggled into India via the India-Bangladesh border. DRI officials subsequently learned that the gold was to be transported to its next destination by an individual travelling on the 12102 Dnyaneshwari Express. Acting on this information, DRI Nagpur officials laid a trap at Nagpur Railway Station. The passenger was searched upon his arrival at the station, during which the concealed gold was discovered. Officials seized 16 gold bars from the accused passenger. The DRI recently conducted six significant operations in different locations across the country, resulting in the seizure of two leopard pelts, 180 live Indian Star Tortoises, 12 live Tokay Geckos, around 24 kg of pangolin scales and 500 grams of tiger bones. At least 13 persons were arrested across these six operations. DRI officers intercepted a person in Jeypore, Koraput district, Odisha, and recovered one leopard pelt from his possession. The leopard pelt and the apprehended person were handed over to the State Forest Department, Koraput, for further investigation and legal action under the Act.

The Kamli hitmaker, who visited Kashmir for the first time, opened up about her excitement and said she had always dreamed of witnessing the beauty of the region.

Speaking during a joint press conference organized alongside the International Film Festival of Jammu & Kashmir (IFFJK), she stated, I cannot tell you how happy I am. It was my childhood dream to come to Kashmir. Over the years, I have travelled to so many places, but I never got the opportunity to visit Kashmir.

Statistical heights, market depths: Shiv Sena(UBT) in 'Saamana' on Centre's economic vision
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) The Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray on Friday hit out at the BJP-led Central government, questioning the stark contradiction between the much-touted 7.8 per cent GDP growth rate and the steep decline in the Indian stock market alongside relentless foreign capital outflows. The party, in an editorial in its mouthpiece, 'Saamana', said, This is Modi's model of development, blaming the government for the stock market crash, capital flight and inflation. The Thackeray camp said that under the Modi government's rule, GDP records a peak growth of 7.8 per cent, but neither does the stock market move up, nor do investor gains increase, nor does inflation reduce, nor does the number of poor families under the government's free foodgrain scheme diminish. As much as Modi inflates the GDP growth figure, the numbers for common people's losses in the stock market, foreign investment withdrawals, inflation, and price hikes continue to swell just as much. The current state of the nation is that the GDP grew, and the Indian market collapsed, it said. The editorial said the Indian share market continued its downward spiral, wiping out lakhs of crores in investor wealth. On Wednesday, the Sensex crashed below the 75,000 mark for the third consecutive session, causing a loss of Rs 4 lakh crore to investors. Simultaneously, the Nifty hit a three-month low, it added. While the government may attribute the crash to global factors -- such as the escalating US-Iran conflict, crude oil prices surging past $100 per barrel, and a sell-off in US government bond markets -- the editorial remarked that these are mere temporary excuses, highlighting that market weakness has persisted for weeks, the editorial said. The editorial further stated that Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) show no confidence in the ooming GDP numbers. According to National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) data, FIIs pulled out over Rs 6,000 crore in just the last ten days. In the first four days of September alone, foreign investors withdrew Rs 7,500 crore. Total foreign capital outflows for the current year have reached a staggering Rs 2.32 lakh crore, which is Rs 1.66 lakh crore higher than the outflows recorded in 2025, added the editorial. The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena pointed out that despite the claimed dynamic momentum of the economy, key ground-level indicators remain grim. Thousands of crores in contractor dues remain unpaid. Essential inflation and commodity prices continue to skyrocket. The number of poor families relying on the governments free foodgrain distribution scheme shows no signs of reducing, it commented. While blowing the trumpet of GDP growth, PM Modi claimed the Indian economy had become 'dynamic.' Where has that dynamism disappeared in the stock market? Why have foreign investors become so 'dynamic' in pulling their money out of India? asked the editorial. The Thackeray camp claimed that the country currently finds itself in a bizarre situation where the GDP rises on paper, but the Indian market collapses in reality. As the government inflates GDP statistics, the figures for ordinary investors' losses, foreign capital flight, and surging inflation continue to inflate at the same pace. This is Modi's version of development! it noted.

Sensex, Nifty open lower tracking global cues, crude oil prices
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) Domestic equity benchmarks opened sharply lower on Friday tracking weak global markets as escalating Middle East tensions pushed oil prices higher and raised concerns over inflation and interest rates. Sensex started nearly 600 points or 0.79 per cent lower at 74,309.16, while Nifty opened 207.50 points or 0.88 per cent down at 23,270.30. Among sectors, Nifty Metal fell more than 3 per cent, making it the biggest decliner in early deals, followed by Nifty Realty which lost over 2 per cent. Consumer durables, financial services, banking, auto and cement sector indices fell up to 1 per cent. However, Nifty IT was the only sectoral index in positive territory and was trading 0.10 per cent up. Headwinds for the market are getting stronger with the escalation in the Middle East conflict. Brent crude has shot up to around $108, according to the market experts. If elevated crude prices sustain or rise further, the impact on India's economic growth and corporate earnings could be significant, they said and added that rising US bond yields were another major headwind. The US 10-year Treasury yield was around 4.96 per cent, approaching the 5 per cent level that is widely viewed as a potential inflection point for global equities, according to them. Analysts said the Indian IPO market was currently attracting significant investor interest with heavy oversubscription and listing gains drawing funds away from the secondary market. On the technical front, analysts said the Nifty could find the next downside targets at 23,260-23,000, while yesterday's long lower wick suggested that a base formation could be underway, despite weak recovery attempts. The upside marker remains at 23,520. Investors should remain cautious given the challenging global and domestic environment, the experts said. Additionally, Asian markets traded lower after rising oil prices sparked a Wall Street selloff. US stocks closed lower in the last session as stronger producer inflation data and rising oil prices fuelled concerns over another Fed rate hike.
