Surya, Bhuvi, Shami And Other Top Stars In Action As SMAT 2026 Sets To Get Underway (Preview)
The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Several top Indian stars will be in action in the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which gets underway from Saturday with 38 teams in action across the Elite and Plate divisions in India's domestic premier T20 tournament. Eyes will turn to the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, among others, as the players set out for their goals in their separate points of their careers. Indian Premier League (IPL) team owners and the national selectors will have their eyes on the tournament as the IPL retention deadline ahead of the December auction is November 17. Only two rounds of matches will have taken place by then, which will make the players leave strong impressions in their opening games of the season. India will also pick their squads for the Sri Lanka T20I series, which begins on December 22, as players will have a chance to earn recalls in the Indian team. SKY has been named Mumbai's captain for the season, and he will look to have strong outings as he is eyeing a return to the Indian team after being left out despite having led the side to the 2026 T20 title. He was also out of form in the IPL 2026, and although there is no threat to his place in the Mumbai Indians, SKY will want to have runs on his back as soon as possible. Then there will be Bhuvneshwar, who had an underwhelming return to international cricket after nearly four years. However, he picked only one wicket across the four innings he played in New Zealand. A good SMAT would be important for him to be in the squad for the Sri Lanka series. Shami will also be in the spotlight after retiring from Test cricket recently. He still has an India return in his heart and might want to play the ODI World Cup 2027. The speedster would be looking to find a way back through. Eyes will also remain on 15-year-old Sooryavanshi, who is on the other side of his career in comparison to the above-mentioned greats. The teenage sensation has been a revelation in the IPL and for India, and has been named captain of Bihar for the first two games in the SMAT, as he will later join the India A squad for the Mens Rising Stars Asia Cup, a 50-over tournament that gets underway from November 19. Sanju Samson, Varun Chakravarthy, Rajat Patidar, Prithvi Shaw, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur and Yash Dayal are among other notable names set to play in the competition, which will last 23 days, with the final on December 6. While Elite and Plate competitions begin on Saturday, the Plate final will be held on November 24 and the Elite one on December 6. When and where to watch SMAT 2026? The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2026 will be available on the JioHotstar app and website for live streaming, while select matches will also be telecast on Star Sports.

Sensex, Nifty snap 3-day rally as banking and realty stocks drag markets lower
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Benchmark equity indices ended a three-day winning run on Friday as selling pressure in banking, financial, realty, and metal stocks overshadowed recent gains. Investors remained cautious amid renewed concerns about price pressures impacting various sectors. The Sensex dropped 318.56 points, or 0.39 per cent, to close at 81,592.45. Meanwhile, the Nifty lost 155.05 points, or 0.61 per cent, to settle at 25,144.30. Among the Nifty constituents, Shriram Finance, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV), and Grasim Industries emerged as the top laggards for the session. Broader market indices also faced declines, with the Nifty MidCap 100 and Nifty SmallCap 100 falling 0.24 per cent and 0.26 per cent, respectively. Sectorally, Nifty Realty, Nifty Auto, and Nifty Cement posted the largest declines, while Nifty Media was the most resilient, recording the least loss among major indices. Experts said that the rate hike fear set to test market rally, as rising inflation concerns and the possibility of further monetary tightening weighed on investor sentiment. Domestic inflation breaching the RB's upper tolerance limit has reinforced expectations of a prolonged restrictive interest-rate environment, analysts stated. Going forward, the trajectory of crude prices, currency stability and foreign investor flows will be critical in determining whether this correction remains a near-term consolidation or develops into a deeper earnings-led adjustment, it added. Meanwhile, experts said that for the rupee, that inflation print is double-edged: it signals cost pressure, but a December hike would also widen Indias already sizeable rate advantage over the US and support the currencys carry appeal. Strong foreign inflows, over INR 7,800 crore on Thursday, remain a genuine cushion. The near-term swing factor is oil: if Brent climbs back, the rupees recovery stalls; if it resumes falling, 94 holds, market experts stated. We believe this phase calls for greater selectivity rather than a broad-based defensive approach. Banking, capital goods and consumption-oriented stocks will need to demonstrate earnings resilience to attract fresh buying, experts added.
BB 20: Pavitra Punia calls Scout - Loves brother-sister equation cheap' after former shaves head
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Actress Pavitra Punia has reacted strongly to the equation between Bigg Boss contestants Scout and Love, questioning their portrayal of their relationship as that of a brother and sister. Pavitra's comments came after Scout shaved his head following Love allegedly giving him the silent treatment inside the Bigg Boss house. Reacting to the developments, Pavitra shared a video in which she spoke about sibling relationships and expressed her displeasure over what she described as the contestants' cheap content. I don't know how many of you know the relationship of brother and sister, but if I do something, my brother will definitely make me bald, Pavitra said. Although I don't make videos on Bigg Boss, but it was necessary for my videos to come today because whatever is happening, that's bullshit. Bullshit. Drawing from her own relationship with her brother, Pavitra said sibling relationships often involve fights, teasing and physical pranks. We have heard of such relationships from childhood to adulthood. In which siblings beat each other, punch each other. My brother used to personally shoot arrows at me, hit me on my feet, and throw crackers at me. Recalling a Diwali incident, she said, Now on Diwali, my brother burst a cracker on my feet. My feet are burnt. He has burnt his fingers too. What is this? This is actually the brother and sister relationship, she said, adding that siblings can also be blunt with each other. If my brother says something to me or doesn't talk to me, I tell him to leave. I mean this is how we talk to our brothers and sisters. Pavitra then turned her attention to Scout and Love and questioned their equation inside the reality show. But in Bigg Boss, oh my god, this boy called Scout and that girl called Love Gill. These people have started a cheap chapter inside. My brother actually watches Bigg Boss. She said she herself had never watched her season of the show and questioned what she described as the unusual equation between the contestants. I don't watch Bigg Boss, I haven't seen my season till date. But what is this? This is not the relationship between brother and sister. Pavitra also spoke about her upbringing, saying: And I belong to a very orthodox family. Let me tell you, I am a girl from UP. And we have seen the relationship of brother and sister. And I travel the whole world where I have not seen the relationship of brother and sister. She went on to question relationships in which people allegedly use the brother-sister label to explain their closeness. Maybe those who behave in this way about the relationship of brother and sister. They do something else but cover it up by saying that this is my brother, this is my sister. Pavitra recalled hearing similar explanations during childhood, saying, When we were small, we used to hear it from someone's mouth in the school, in the neighborhood. That someone likes someone, someone has an affair with someone. But he comes home and says that he is my sister, he is my brother. We are not kids anymore. Referring specifically to Scout and Love, she said: If you are in Bigg Boss, and I am talking about Scout and Love. If all these things are happening in Bigg Boss. This is happening because you are giving very cheap content. Cheap. It's the height of cheapness. It seems so stupid and ridiculous. That you have actually raised a question on the relationship of brother and sister. That you have made that relationship so dirty. She also urged the makers of Bigg Boss to intervene. Please go out and make this relationship work. And I really request Bigg Boss also that please don't allow it. Our Bigg Boss team is super smart. I know those people personally. And I am sure somewhere they are also in shock. What is this? What are they doing? She again called the situation highly bullshit before comparing the equation with her own understanding of sibling relationships. Because it's highly bullshit. Brother and sister relationships are not like this. My brother will never be bald for me. My brother will make me bald instead. And you people will agree that a brother and sister relationship is like this. It is like this. What is this boy doing? I don't understand. Pavitra also referred to Kashvi, who has exited the show, saying: And I feel good for that girl who got out of this mess. I personally don't know her. And I am sorry that I am even taking her name. Addressing Scout directly, she said, What are you doing bro? Stop doing that bullshit in the house. Don't do that. There is a lot going on in Bigg Boss. There is a lot going on. But you are making a mess. And we are people who have brothers and sisters. We are not proud of you bro. Like super cheap. Cheap. Do not call this relationship a brother and sister relationship. This is pure. It is pure love. It is not a brother and sister relationship. It is pure love. Bullshit.

Sidharth Malhotra opens up on fathers demise, says becoming a parent changed his priorities
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Actor Sidharth Malhotra opened up about the loss of his father and the emotional experience of balancing grief with the joys of parenthood. He expressed how the experience changed his priorities in life. Sidharth, who recently appeared with wife and actress Kiara Advani on Koffee With Karan, spoke about his late fathers prolonged illness and how caring for him in his final years shaped his understanding of parenthood. We were kind of prepared. I think we went through a process with him. His ailment and condition in particular was getting little worse year by year, Sidharth said. The actor said his experiences with his young daughter Saraayah often remind him of the time he spent caring for his father. Now when I look back and I go and do all these interesting things with Saraya in our building, in our home, it reminds me that I used to take my dad in a very similar way swimming in our building because it was hydrotherapies what he needed for his condition, he said. Sidharth revealed that during the last few years of his father's life, their relationship had evolved in a way that made him feel like he was parenting his own parent. The last four or five years it was almost like you know my dad was like my first child. Like you had started parenting him, he said. The actor revealed that his father had been diagnosed with early Parkinson's and recalled how active and physically fit he had been throughout his life. He was diagnosed with early Parkinson's and he's been a very fit guy all through his life. I was in the merchant navy so I get a lot of my outdoor activity from my father and that's what I used to love taking him to the pool, Sidharth said. He used to love interacting with me, we used to do counts and workouts together even at that age, he said. Sidharth said becoming a father himself has made those memories feel even more relatable. Now it's surreal when I do the same thing with Saraya. It almost feels like okay I have done this before and we just lost him this year, he said. While speaking about his mother, Sidharth acknowledged the difficult period she has gone through after spending more than five decades with his father. It was obviously my mother who's been with him for 50 plus years who has had it much worse but she's a very strong woman, he said..I think she was there like a rock. The only blessing is that all of us were together, the actor added. Sidharth also spoke about how losing a parent while raising a young child has changed his perspective on life. But they say you lose a parent and you gain a God and the gain of God has resulted in this blessing, he said. I always say it's the good energies of our parents in the universe. The actor said the experience had also made him more conscious of the fleeting period when multiple generations of a family can be together. I recently went through it and I feel like it also reminds you that there's a very short part of your life where you have you know your kids and your parents in the same room, he said. It changes the priorities in my life. Of course I am very ambitious but what I value more has changed. I keep telling her (Kiara) as well like we have to value this phase of life where our kids are, he said. For the uninitiated, Sidharth lost his father this year in February. Sidharth and Kiara, who married in February 2023 after falling in love while working together on Shershaah, welcomed their daughter Saraayah in July 2025. The couple announced in October that they are expecting their second child, sharing a picture featuring their daughter's hand and a tiny baby sock. They captioned the announcement: Blessed once again with the greatest gift of all. Our hearts are so full of love and gratitude.

Govandi clash: Seven held after rival groups fight over unpaid food bill

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Actor Nitish Bharadwaj, best known for playing Lord Krishna in the television series Mahabharat, has expressed his angst and disappointment over the portrayal of Hindu mythology in the upcoming film Ramayan. He has alleged that the narrative in the movie undermines Hindu gods and presents Ravan in a manner that purifies his villainy. Taking to his social media account, Nitish Bharadwaj shared a series of slides criticising the film's approach to the character of Ravan and the concept of the avatar of Lord Ram. He questioned the portrayal of Ravan as a liberal, communist or socialist leader and argued that such a treatment makes the need for Lord Vishnu to take human form as Ram redundant. In the first slide, titled RAVAN THE LUSTFUL MOLESTER, Bharadwaj wrote, Ravan was a known molester of even celestial Apsaras like Rambha and Vedavati, leave alone being courteous to a female Daasi. Rambha, whom he molested, was like his daughter-in-law. Her husband Nala-Kubera had cursed Ravan that if he ever again forced himself on a woman, his head would be blown into pieces. It was not his goodness but this curse, which is why he could not force Sita Mata to marry him. We cannot ignore his lust for women. Hence, this film propagates a wrong narrative of Ravan as a Liberator. In another slide titled CONCEPT OF AVATAAR, he wrote, By showing Ravan as a liberal, communist/socialist leader, the film makes the basic need of Mahavishnu taking Avataar as Lord Ram redundant. Viewers think. A film is not only about great visuals & performances, but a wrong narrative also must be rejected, especially when the Hindu Gods are undermined & the villainy is wrongly purified. This would have been Blasphemy, if it was done with any other religion. The third slide, titled SAVING GRACE, highlighted what Nitish Bharadwaj felt worked in the film, mentioning Sheeba Chaddha's portrayal of Manthara and the film's production design. Nitish Bharadwaj's comments come in the context of his long association with mythological characters on Indian television. His portrayal of Lord Krishna in BR Chopra's Mahabharat remains one of his most recognised performances which made him a household name. He later essayed mythological roles including Lord Vishnu and Lord Ram. The actor has also worked in films including Njan Gandharvan, Mohenjo Daro and Kedarnath, apart from his Marathi directorial venture Pitruroon.

Mumbai recorded 3,683 property registrations during the 11-day Diwali period in 2026, marking a 0.4 per cent year-on-year (YoY) rise over the 3,668 units registered during the same period last year, according to a Knight Frank India report.

EBITDA increased 23 per cent YOY to Rs 175 crore, while profit after tax (PAT) grew 31 per cent to Rs 73 crore. Growth was driven by continued execution across hyperscale data centre infrastructure and enterprise solutions, supported by growing momentum in the Company's Technology Products business. The Company's order backlog reached a record US$1,044 million, up 88 per cent YoY, strengthening visibility for continued growth. Sanjeev Verma, Whole-time Director & Chief Executive Officer, Black Box Limited, said, Black Box is building strong growth momentum, with record quarterly revenue and an order backlog exceeding US$1 billion. These results reinforce our confidence in scaling the business towards our immediate growth goal of US$2 billion in revenue. Our data centre business is a powerful growth engine, with significant orders from multiple hyperscalers and repeat wins expanding our role in their infrastructure investments. Our strong US presence, deep expertise and proven execution position us to capture a greater share of accelerating data centre investment, supported by a substantial opportunity pipeline. Growing Enterprise and Technology Products businesses across the United States and international markets further strengthen our growth outlook. With secured orders and proven delivery capabilities, we are ready to execute at a greater scale. Continued hiring, investment in our people and expansion of delivery capacity strengthen our ability to deliver larger projects and drive our next phase of growth, he said. Deepak Kumar Bansal, Executive Director & Global CFO, Black Box Limited, said, Our Q2 performance demonstrates the growing earnings strength of Black Box, with PAT rising 31 per cent to Rs 73 crore, ahead of revenue growth of 22 per cent. H1 EBITDA margin expanded 50 basis points to 9.2 per cent, while operating cash flow reached Rs 115 crore for the first half of FY27. We are translating growth into stronger profitability and cash generation. Our expanding data centre business and significant order pipeline provide a strong foundation to scale revenue and earnings.

We are confident of achieving our FY27 guidance of 23-27 per cent revenue growth and 38-50 per cent PAT growth, with profit growth expected to remain in high double digits for the next few years, along with stronger cash flow generation. Disciplined working capital management and prudent capital allocation remain central to converting this opportunity into sustained shareholder value, he said.

Black Box is expanding its participation in this market through established hyperscaler relationships, technical expertise and large-scale project delivery capabilities. Black Box secured over US$250 million in data centre orders in H1 FY27. A substantial pipeline of large hyperscale deals is expected to drive significant order wins and accelerate growth in the coming quarters. Black Box supports infrastructure projects associated with large-scale data centre developments with gigawatt-scale capacity.

Suniel Shetty says, Nanhey Dil is about children, giving equal opportunities to everybody
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty, who is gearing up for the theatrical release of his upcoming film Nanhey Dil, has said that at its core, the film is about children, and giving equal opportunities to everyone to ensure their comfort and well-being. The trailer of the film was unveiled recently, and it offers a glimpse into a moving story that celebrates childhood, equality and the freedom to dream. Talking about the film, Suniel Shetty said, Nanhey Dil is a film about children, about giving equal opportunities to everybody and how important it is for us to make sure everybody is comfortable. It has a beautiful message and could definitely be an eye-opener for modern-day parents. I think this generation believes in equality, and that you have to live your dream and not live the dream of your parents. I'd want my children to live their dream, not mine. I think today's parents are all about honesty, and taking care of their parents and children. So hats off to this generation. He further mentioned, I took this film on because it was a simple story to tell and I am glad that such stories are being heard and are finding global platforms. The film explores how opportunity and encouragement can transcend social and economic barriers, bringing to the forefront a message that resonates with children and parents alike. Suniel Shetty essays the role of a principal at a prestigious school who recognises the potential of Raghu, a bright young boy whose father works as a dhobi. The film was shot in 37 days, and is titled Fly High Little Hearts for international audiences, and was recently screened at the Toronto International Film Festival. Presented by Srinathji's Hospitality and Ninefold Pictures, Nanhey Dil is a Navaras Entertainment production. The film is produced by Sowmay Jain, Shriya Torne, Dhruva Karunakar and Aishwarya Yadav. Written and directed by Swarup Raj Medara, the film is set to release in cinemas on November 20, 2026.

Shreya Ghoshal calls Tadoba tiger sighting life-changing, says she related to tigress as a mother
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Stalwart singer Shreya Ghoshal recently experienced a close encounter with a Bengal tiger during her visit to Maharashtra's Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve. The singer described the experience as life-changing and drew a parallel between herself and a tigress she spotted with her three cubs. Sharing pictures and a video from her visit on her social media account, Shreya wrote about witnessing the tiger in the wild for the first time. She said, I had the privilege of witnessing our majestic national animal for the very first time in his full glory in the wild. It was not just luck but pure magic to see the Chhota Dadiyall!! Our guide Sandeep with his experienced eyes found him sleeping absolutely camouflaged in the tall grasses, so we waited patiently for him to emerge. Thanking her husband for the click, Shreya said, Thanks to @shiladitya for capturing the moment through his lens. His gaze every time would give me the chills. Farooq our driver was amazing, Archie was perfectly managing our familys sheer excitement of being so close to this beautiful yet fearsome animal. We also saw the beautiful Chhoti Madhu with her three cubs from so up close. I could so relate to her as a mom, she wanted to nap but still alert. No mobile phones are allowed in the park once inside the gates, and for the right reasons. I could really experience all of it with full force and felt so humbled in the beautiful jungle, surrounded by such amazing flora and fauna. The morning was cool and the wind carried the fragrance of moist earth and all the worries of life disappeared. I was also amazed at the knowledge the locals of Tadoba have of not just the animals, but also the various birds, bugs, trees, bushes. They live in harmony with nature and deeply respect their jungles. I cant even begin to share how amazing this trip was. Life changing experience at @mytadoba I will be back! (sic) The singer's reference to motherhood comes from her own experience as a parent. Shreya and her husband Shiladitya Mukhopadhyaya welcomed their son Devyaan in May 2021. As of November 2026, Devyaan is five years old. Shreya has previously spoken about balancing motherhood with her demanding music career and described herself as a hands-on mother.

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.

Diwali property registrations in Mumbai hit 4-year high at 3,683
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 13 (IANS) Mumbai recorded 3,683 property registrations during the 11 days of the Diwali period this year, which is higher by 0.4 per cent year-on-year (YoY) compared to 3,668 registrations in the corresponding period last year, a report said on Friday. As per analysis by Knight Frank, revenue collections rose at a faster pace, up 13 per cent annually to Rs 384 crore. Both registrations and revenue collections recorded their highest levels for the corresponding Diwali period in the last four years, it added. The market has remained steady since October, when the city recorded 12,690 property registrations, up 9 per cent YoY. In addition, registrations rose 7 per cent annually to 1,32,040 units, between January and October in 2026, against an already elevated base. The sustained growth in registrations points to stable underlying housing demand, with homebuyer activity continuing through the festive season. Mumbai's residential market has maintained a steady pace of activity through the festive season. The marginal increase in Diwali-period registrations indicates that transaction volumes have remained broadly stable, with a 13 per cent rise in revenue collections points to a higher value of transactions being registered, said Shishir Baijal, International Partner, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India. The continued growth in registrations during the first 10 months of the year also reflects sustained homebuyer interest. This performance highlights the depth of demand in Mumbai's housing market and its ability to maintain momentum through key periods of the year, Baijal added. Mumbai recorded 3,419 property registrations during Shraddh 2026, a period traditionally considered inauspicious for property purchases, followed by 4,680 registrations during Navratri. Moreover, registrations remained active through both periods, pointing to continued homebuyer activity ahead of Diwali, the report noted.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Ahead of his November 21 concert in Ahmedabad, singing superstar Diljit Dosanjh has been asked to refrain from performing four of his songs allegedly promoting alcohol, substance abuse and violence. The District Child Protection Officer has written to the Police Commissioner seeking restrictions on the concert, stating that the songs should not be performed even with modified lyrics.

The request also applies to performing these songs with modified lyrics. Diljit is all set to perform in Indore on November 15.

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.
