A Celebration of a Stand-Out First Year To mark Kay Beautys milestone first year in the UK, guests attended Space NKs Oxford Circus flagship store for an afternoon celebrating vibrant Diwali beauty and individual creativity. Alongside an exclusive masterclass in creating a signature Diwali Gloss Up Look, Katrina shared insights on her beauty journey, the inspiration behind Kay Beauty and the power of self-expression. Katrina Kaif, Co-Founder, Kay Beauty, said, Kay Beauty was born from the belief that beauty should feel inclusive, intuitive and deeply personal. We've always created products with South Asian skin tones and beauty needs at the heart of everything we do, and it's been incredibly rewarding to see that resonate far beyond India. Over the past year, we've loved seeing the response to Kay Beauty at Space NK, and this visit is an opportunity to build on that momentum. It's about spending time with the South Asian community that has embraced the brand, connecting with beauty enthusiasts across the UK, and continuing conversations around representation, performance and innovation in beauty. Space NK has always been a beauty playground during my visits, a space where Ive explored, experimented, and discovered so many of my favourite products, so seeing Kay Beauty continue to sit alongside some of the world's most loved beauty brands, is incredibly special. As we look ahead, we're excited to keep building a global community around the values we've always believed in - that makeup should celebrate individuality, perform beautifully, and make everyone feel seen. The first year of Kay Beauty in the UK has been an encouraging chapter in our journey as we build an Indian beauty brand with global relevance. Seeing our products become bestsellers at Space NK and the brand reach top product status on TikTok Shop within six weeks of launch has been particularly meaningful, as it reflects the connection we are building with consumers beyond our home market. The recognition as Best New Brand at the CEW UK Consumer Choice Awards 2026 is another important milestone for us. As we enter our second year, our focus is on deepening our relationship with UK consumers, continuing to bring them products that combine performance and care, and building Kay Beauty into a brand with enduring relevance globally, added Adwaita Nayar, Co-founder and Executive Director of Nykaa & CEO, House of Nykaa.

ACB hopeful to revive APL; few Indian parties interested in acquiring franchises
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS) The Afghanistan Cricket Board is confident of reviving the Afghanistan Premier League, with the board confirming that five parties remain interested in acquiring the two remaining franchise spots in the league. The APL was first held in 2018 but halted after the inaugural edition, with the second edition being postponed following the ACB scrapping the league's sanction. The ACB is confident of reviving the league and that one party from Afghanistan and a few from India and other markets remain interested in acquiring the franchises. The ACB has zeroed in on three owners as they look to hold the league in the UAE, with options of moving the tournament to other locations in future. In the first edition, Balkh Legends, Kabul Zwanan, Kandahar Knights, Nangarhar Leopards and Paktia Panthers featured, with Balkh Legends winning it. ACB chief executive Naseeb Khan stated that the ACB is committed to staging the league. The Afghanistan Cricket Board remains fully committed to delivering the APL as planned. As everyone is aware, the league is being revived after a considerable period, and we have therefore taken a careful and strategic approach to selecting our commercial partner and franchisees, Naseeb said as quoted by Cricbuzz. ACB, together with our commercial partner, is in close communication with these parties, and we are working to finalise the remaining two franchise agreements as soon as possible. It is important to highlight that the commercial partners and franchisees are among the most important stakeholders of the league and are expected to remain involved for the long term. Therefore our priority is not simply to fill the remaining positions quickly, but to ensure that we select credible, financially capable and experienced partners who can contribute to the sustainable growth of the APL, he added. He added that the draft will take place in the last week of October, with the league set to commence on December 27. I would like to make it clear that the APL is firmly scheduled for this year with five teams. The player draft is scheduled for the last week of October, and the league will officially commence on 27 December 2026. The response from players has also been very encouraging, with around 1,500 players registered, including a number of top international players from around the world, Naseeb added. A specific committee is currently working on the screening and assessment of registered players in line with the approved criteria. A pool of Afghan coaches has also been assigned and will be presented for the draft in the coming days. The remaining coaching staff and team captains will likewise be selected based on the approved criteria and the requirements of each franchise which will be available for the draft, he said. He is also hopeful that the England players would participate in the tournament, despite England not playing a bilateral series against Afghanistan due to the Taliban government's treatment of women. A report in Cricinfo had earlier stated that the ECB will be granting the No-Objection Certificates to the players to feature in the league. ACB highly values its relationship with all our fellow cricket boards, including the England and Wales Cricket Board, and we remain committed to maintaining a positive, respectful and cooperative relationship with them, Naseeb said. Our understanding is that the continued growth of cricket depends on strong cooperation among cricket boards, particularly in facilitating player participation in different forms of cricket, including franchise leagues around the world, subject to the respective boards policies, schedules and contractual considerations, Naseeb said. ACB has always supported and facilitated the participation of our players in England, various leagues and competitions, and we look forward to the same spirit of cooperation for the APL. We are confident that this mutual understanding and support will continue to benefit the players, the respective boards and the long-term development of cricket globally, he added.

The dew factor played a massive role in the previous game, on a given day it happens you need to have that mindset to put it behind. It's important that we adapt and assess quickly to get to a commendable total. Given the dimensions we made those changes and we also needed someone who can hit the yorkers, he said. West Indies captain Shai Hope said Romario Shepherd has a niggle and is rested from Sundays game, while Quentin Sampson and Keemo Paul have been drafted into the playing eleven. I think we all know what I am going to do, so we are going to bowl first again. It's going to be challenging when you are playing all three formats.

3rd T20I: God Has Been Kind, Working Hard On Mental Aspect To Finish Games, Says Tilak Varma
Tilak Varma: India vice-captain Tilak Varma has attributed his recent success in the middle order to rigorous mental preparation and practice, as well as to the Almighty, while adding that he has been working hard on the mental aspect to finish matches for the team. While Tilaks finishing abilities werent required in Lucknow, he did slam an unbeaten 44 against the West Indies in Ranchi and smashed an unbeaten 51 in India retaining its gold medal at the Asian Games in Japan earlier this month. First of all, thank you for mentioning that about the Asian Games and World Cup. It always feels good whenever I hear about that. And right now, yes, God has been really kind to me. And right now, my form is also going really good. And definitely, if you see, the way I finished that last match (was) terrific. But at the same point, again, we are focusing on our basics. Let's see how it goes, and right now my form is good, Varma said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. Addressing the shift in his batting position from the top-order to taking up responsibility of finishing games in the middle order, the left-handed batter explained that the transformation required deliberate effort both in the nets and mentally, which is still a work in progress. Honestly, I haven't played much at No. 4. You know, as our coach said, every batsman after... The openers are only fixed. Other than that, everyone keeps rotating. But I always say, batting up the order was my strength before, but now I got used to it since the World Cup.

Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 11 (IANS) A first-year B.Tech student was found dead in the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) hostel located in the Khelagaon police station area of Jharkhand's Ranchi in a suspected suicide case, officials said on Sunday. The deceased has been identified as Aditya, a resident of Bihar's Purnia. The student's death sparked outrage among students at the institute. The students alleged a lack of timely medical assistance and negligence on the part of the management. Meanwhile, the National Human Rights Commission has also taken cognisance of the incident. According to preliminary information, the incident occurred around 10:45 p.m. on Saturday. When there was no response from Aditya's room, his roommate knocked on the door. When there was no response, the door was somehow opened. When Aditya's roommate found the room locked from inside, he knocked on the door. However, when there was no response, the door was somehow opened from outside. Aditya was found unconscious inside the room. People attempted to revive him by administering CPR. Students allege that medical assistance was not provided in a timely manner. According to them, hostel caretaker Deepak Roshan left the scene with his colleague Akash. The on-duty doctor, Dr Kunj Bihari Khare, has also been accused of being in an inebriated state and leaving the scene. Students claim that security personnel were also inebriated, and Aditya was taken to an ambulance about 45 minutes later. He was later taken to Medica Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Following the student's death, protests erupted in the hostel. Students allege that there is already an ongoing agitation over the lack of basic facilities at the institute. They say that if an ambulance and oxygen had been available on time, the student's life could have been saved. Ranchi Sadar DSP Sanjeev Besra stated that the police are investigating the case. The cause of death and other aspects related to the incident are being investigated. The family has also been informed.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh does not give standing ovations easily. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, he revealed that he rose from his seat and applauded during a preview screening of Drishyam The Conclusion, the third instalment of Ajay Devgn's hit franchise. He also explained what moved him, and his praise goes beyond the film to a specific choice by its lead actor: Devgn's willingness to say very little. A standing ovation, only the second this year Adarsh said the latest film stands out in a series he has followed closely. I really liked the first part of Drishyam. I loved the second part. And when I watched the third part, I actually I have given two films a standing ovation this year. One was Dhurandhar, and the other was Drishyam. Especially the sequence after the interval. I just got up from my chair. He added that he shared his reaction with the actor himself. I was in the preview theatre, and I gave it a standing ovation. I told Ajay that I had given his film a standing ovation. I enjoyed that scene so much, and I loved the film overall as well. But if you look at it, this is a very, very good franchise. It is the kind of film you can watch with your family because it is a family story. What is surprising is the tremendous business this film is doing despite having no songs. There is no action in the film, and there is no elaborate dialogue-baazi either. Ajay Devgn has very few dialogues in the film. He conveys so much through his eyes and facial expressions. And that is the film's victory. He could have chosen to, he stated. The 15-minute sequence that won him over Adarsh pointed to a pre-interval sequence in which Jaideep Ahlawat's character visits Devgn's home and speaks at length. If you have watched the film, before the interval, there is a sequence of about 15 minutes when Jaideep Ahlawat arrives at Ajay's house. They are discussing his daughter's marriage proposal, and Jaideep keeps talking and talking. I was thinking about it, and I even told Ajay I said, You haven't said anything. Then, at the interval point, when you finally respond to him, that is the film's victory. A secure actor For Adarsh, the restraint says something about Devgn as a performer. It shows how secure an actor Ajay Devgn is. He could have told Abhishek Pathak, the director, to add one or two dialogues for him. He could even have told Kumar Mangat ji, I should have some good dialogues. You aren't making me say anything! But he lets Jaideep Ahlawat do all the talking, and when he delivers that one dialogue at the end, it is remarkable. Hello to Ajay Devgn. He summed it up simply: It's a secure actor. Absolutely. I mean, hats off to Ajay Devgn. Adarsh believes the confidence came from the actor's trust in his own craft. He had so much confidence in his talent. He did not think that the other actor would eat up the scene or that something might happen that would make people call the other person a scene-stealer. Or he did not worry that people would say Ajay Devgn had been completely sidelined. The casting of Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj Adarsh also appreciated the addition of Jaideep Ahlawat. He said, When the controversy around Akshaye Khanna happened, Kumar ji had explained the details to me. But anyway, that is beside the point. At the time, he told me that Jaideep and Prakash Raj would both be part of the film. He explained why the casting matters to the franchise. Jaideep is a very fine actor. I have said this before as well. I think that when you cast someone opposite Ajay Devgn, especially when you are replacing Akshaye Khanna, the audience also expects a worthy contest. There should be two equally formidable actors. Otherwise, the audience does not enjoy the confrontation. In this franchise, the responsibility largely rests on how these characters face off against each other. Praise for the ensemble Adarsh closed with a nod to the wider cast. Tabu is an excellent actress, and this time too, the film begins with her. Every actor has contributed. Prakash Raj appears after the interval, and that scene outside the courtroom, when he takes a selfie Oh my God! Just think about it - every scene has been carefully put together. What a brilliant film! What a brilliant film! Also Read: Drishyam The Conclusion Worldwide Box Office: Ajay Devgn starrer crosses Rs. 400 crore mark globally, collects Rs. 402.91 crore

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 10 (IANS) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday issued a strong appeal to citizens across the state to make full use of the special voter registration camps organised on October 10 and 11, emphasising that completing the necessary enrollment processes before the October 12 deadline is vital for safeguarding democratic rights. The special drive comes in the wake of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, an exercise the Chief Minister recently defended as a necessary and long-standing mechanism to protect the integrity of India's democratic system. Designated polling stations across the state are hosting special camps this weekend to assist citizens who missed home visits by Booth Level Officers (BLOs). Eligible citizensparticularly young or first-time voters whose names are missing from the draft electoral rollshave been urged to fill out Form-6 for immediate registration. Voters who received formal notices during the ongoing SIR verification process can utilise these camps to submit alternative valid documents and clear discrepancies. All claims, objections, and documentation processes must be finalised and submitted strictly before the October 12 deadline, CM Fadnavis said. Defending the current electoral roll revision, the Chief Minister recently noted that rapid urbanisation, frequent migration, and demographic updates necessitate periodic verification to keep voter lists accurate and reliable. Highlighting that the current framework is a natural extension of India's decades-old electoral tradition, the state administration has streamlined these weekend camps to ensure no genuine, eligible voter is left disenfranchised. Citizens are advised to visit their local polling booths immediately to verify their names on the electoral roll and complete pending formalities ahead of October 12 deadline. Earlier, the Office of the Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) S. Chockalingam has launched targeted registration drives and door-to-door verification campaigns across the state. Operating under the guidelines of the Election Commission of India (ECI), election authorities have committed to ensuring that no eligible citizen is left off the electoral roll and no ineligible entries remain. Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are deployed at campus sites to assist eligible students with completing application forms and to resolve queries regarding the SIR workflow, the Office of Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) said in a statement. BLOs are conducting home visits to identify eligible citizens missing from the Draft Electoral Roll and collect Form-6 following verification. For residents unavailable during home visits, special voter registration camps will be held at all designated polling stations on October 10 and October 11. Citizens whose names appear on the list of absent or migrated voters (compiled during house-to-house enumeration) can apply for re-enrolment or correction. The official list of absent/shifted voters has been published online at ceoelection.maharashtra.gov.in for public verification. The deadline to submit claims, objections, and new registration requests is October 12. Citizens can apply via offline or online channels. The Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Office has appealed to submit applications digitally through the ECI portal at voters.eci.gov.in or via the official ECINET mobile application. It has assured all residents that Electoral Registration Officers will duly process all complete applications submitted with required supporting documents for inclusion in their respective Assembly constituency voter lists.

'Indias electoral system offers valuable lessons for democracies worldwide'
Digital Desk | Abu Dhabi, Oct 10 (IANS) Indias electoral achievement goes beyond conducting elections every five years, encompassing the management of an extensive democratic infrastructure, accommodating immense diversity, training election personnel, deploying technology and adapting to changing demographics, a report has stated. For emerging democracies, India offers an example of how population size, geographical challenges and economic disparities need not stand in the way of regular, competitive elections. And for established democracies, its experience offers valuable lessons in logistical coordination, voter outreach and institutional adaptability, according to a report in UAE's Gulf Today newspaper. Indias democracy is not merely an exercise in numbers. It is one of the modern worlds most extraordinary administrative achievements. In a country of more than 1.4 billion people, with vast linguistic, geographical, cultural and economic diversity, conducting regular, competitive elections on such a scale is remarkable. From Himalayan villages and remote islands to deserts and densely populated cities, India has built an electoral infrastructure few countries can match. Its experience offers valuable lessons to democracies seeking to strengthen voter participation, electoral administration and public confidence, it detailed. According to the report, India is sharing its electoral expertise with other countries to help strengthen their election management systems. Since the establishment of the India International Institute of Democracy and Election Management in 2011, nearly 3,000 election officials from 141 countries have received training, according to figures published by the Election Commission. Programmes cover electoral planning, voter education, institutional capacity building and election administration. India has cooperation agreements with electoral bodies in 28 countries and three international organisations. Electoral institutions across Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Pacific have participated in these initiatives. India has also provided customised electronic voting machines to countries including Bhutan, Nepal and Namibia, as well as indelible ink supplies to several nations, the report mentioned. During the 2024 General Election, India welcomed international electoral representatives to observe its procedures. The 2026 Delhi Declaration on democracy and election management further demonstrated the value of international cooperation on transparent, inclusive and technologically capable electoral systems, it added. Maintaining accurate voter lists is essential to the credibility of any electoral system. Deaths, relocations, changes of address and duplicate entries can leave electoral databases outdated. Regular verification is therefore necessary to keep voter rolls updated, prevent administrative complications and preserve public confidence in the electoral process, Gulf Today mentioned. India faces this challenge on an unprecedented scale. With hundreds of millions of registered voters across thousands of constituencies, maintaining electoral accuracy requires continuous attention. Millions of deaths annually and extensive internal migration can affect voter entries. A person moving from Bihar to Delhi, for example, may need to be removed from the earlier constituencys register and enrolled at the new address, the report stated. That is not disenfranchisement. It is essential electoral administration, provided eligible citizens retain a fair opportunity to register and vote, it added. Stressing that Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is not inherently unconstitutional, the report argued that its legitimacy rests on lawful execution, procedural fairness and adequate safeguards.

Yuzvendra Chahal has called for conditions that offer bowlers a fairer contest in T20 cricket after Indias 250-run total failed to stop the West Indies from securing a six-wicket victory in the second T20I in Ranchi on Friday. The leg-spinner questioned the increasing difficulty of containing batters on surfaces with little assistance, particularly when dew makes gripping the ball harder and smaller boundaries leave bowlers with limited room for error.

Actor Samvedna Suwalka is known for her work in the Drishyam franchise where she plays Gayathri Mohan, the lawyer representing Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay Devgn). Right now, she is enjoying the super success of Drishyam The Conclusion, in which she has a longer screen time. In recent years, Samvedna was also a part in Siddharth Anands Fighter. She played the character of Bela, the wife of Squadron Leader Rajan Unnithan (Mahesh Shetty). Interestingly, she also got to shake a leg in the high-energy dance number Sher Khul Gaye with Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Samvedna looked back at her experience of doing the film. Acting in a Hrithik Roshan starrer was like a full circle moment for Samvedna since she has been his fan from the time he first entered the scene. Hrithik Roshans Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai (2000) had released when I was in school, she recalled. I, as a girl, remember that there was a craze for Hrithik then. There used to be postcards of him, which girls used to collect. It was insanity. Every girl in the school had a crush on him. Years later when I got this role, I was like, Yes, I am getting a chance to dance with Hrithik Roshan and Deepika. I am doing this. To be a part of Sher Khul Gaye was a different experience for Samvedna. I got to dance with Hrithik and Deepika, she said. I got to see how a set is like and what kind of energy there is when there are 200 dancers on the set and the professionalism and brilliance of Deepika and Hrithik. Hrithik would not stop till he got the step right. He would take multiple takes. I am looking at his steps and I am like, This is brilliant. What is he trying to improve? But he would keep going to make it better. And then you realize why these people are stars. They work hard and thats why they are where they are. Samvedna was also a part of Fighters Kashmir schedule, where there were scenes of them sitting around a campfire and playing in the snow. She said Hrithik was fully focussed during the shoot. Deepika would still chat a little bit. But Hrithik was very focussed to get his lines right. I was afraid to go and disturb him because he was working and doing his job, so I thought let me not interfere, she recollected. But during the success party of the film, she recalled, Hrithik was all friendly. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samvedna Suwalka (@samvednasuwalka) Despite acting for years in independent and Gujarati films, Samvedna said that it is films like Drishyam 2 and Fighter made her known. She believes this is the power of mainstream commercial cinema. The country knows about them. Everybody goes to watch. I understood the power of Bollywood commercial films. Before these films, I had done a show where I had 100 episodes. I was the female lead in that. Nobody has seen it. I worked so hard for it; my throat used to pain while saying all dialogues. Of course, I grew as an actor and everything is important. No complaints. But I saw the power of Bollywood commercial cinema where it reaches different nooks and corners, she said. Not many would know that Samvedna is a doctor by education. Her colleagues and former classmates noticed her for the first time after Drishyam 2 and Fighter. My doctor colleagues from America would message me saying, Tu actor ban gayi hai. Hum sabko pata nahin humari classmate actor hai. I was like, Bhai, main 10 saal se actor hoon. But they live in US and they only watch films like Fighter. So, people start validating you when you become a part of something very big, she said.

Dream Come True To Play For Home Team JSK, Says Rowles On Big Payday In SA20
Joburg Super Kings: Fast bowler Jason Rowles described him being signed by Joburg Super Kings as a dream come true, after he emerged as the biggest buy at the recent SA20 season five player auction, especially less than 100 days remaining for the league to kick-off on January 17, 2027. Rowles, who fetched the highest bid at the auction held on October 7, said he was delighted at the opportunity to represent his hometown franchise at the iconic Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The SA20 is an incredible tournament, and to be selected by my home team, Joburg Super Kings, is a dream come true. I can't wait to get the season started and learn from all the coaches and players, Rowles said in a statement by the tournament on Saturday. Pretoria Capitals also secured a major coup by signing South Africa Test and ODI captain Temba Bavuma, who returns to the league after missing the last two editions. It's cool to be back in the mix with the guys. Not too far from home, Pretoria, led by Keshav (Maharaj) over there. So yeah, I look forward to being a part of that team. Yeah, hopefully we'll be able to go all the way next year, Bavuma said, as he looks to help the Capitals secure their maiden title after two runners-up finishes in four seasons. Under-23 all-rounder Oliver Whitehead expressed his thrill at being picked up by season three champions MI Cape Town to play at Newlands. I am super stoked to be picked up by MI Cape Town for the 2027 season. I can't wait for the experience and to play in front of the full Newlands crowds, he said. English allrounder Craig Overton is set to return for a second stint with three-time champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Gqeberha. I am buzzing to be back at St Georges Park for the fifth season of the SA20. It was a great experience last time I was there, playing in front of the Orange Army and the St Georges band. I cant wait to get back out there. Weve got a great squad to be able to compete and try to win that fourth trophy out of five.

What Is The Use Of Their Skill?: Chahal Questions Flat Pitches After WI Chase Down 250
Indian Premier League: India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal raised concerns over the increasingly batter-friendly conditions in T20 cricket after the West Indies chased down 250 against India in the second T20I in Ranchi on Friday, arguing that flat pitches, dew and smaller boundaries are making it increasingly difficult for bowlers to remain competitive. On such wickets, theres nothing for the bowlers. When the ball gets old, theres dew, the ball comes nicely onto the bat, and the grounds are getting smaller. Weve seen this in the IPL as well, with 260 being chased in 19 overs. In this game too, 250 got chased down easily in 18.3 overs. So, what should bowlers do? What is the use of their skill, Chahal questioned, speaking to JioStar. Chahals remarks followed a contest in which Indias batting effort produced 249/5, only for the West Indies to overhaul the target with four balls to spare. The result underlined the challenge facing bowling attacks when batters can sustain an aggressive scoring rate across the innings. Shai Hope led the visitors pursuit with an unbeaten 102 off 45 deliveries, while Sherfane Rutherford struck 84 from 37 balls. Their 120-run partnership turned the chase in the West Indies favour after India had made early inroads, helping the visitors finish on 252/4 and secure a six-wicket victory. I feel for them, because I am a bowler too and when I bowl in the IPL, on small grounds with flat wickets, you have an Impact Player as well. Earlier, when the Impact Player rule was not there, you used to see 50 runs in six overs, and 170-180 was a fighting total. But these days, 70-80 runs are scored in the first six overs, and the game is done there itself. So, either you have to have something for the bowlers in the wicket, or else just install a bowling machine, he added. The win levelled the five-match series at 1-1 and reinforced the difficulty of defending large totals in modern T20 cricket. Chahals criticism also extended to the Indian Premier League, where he believes the combination of smaller grounds, flat surfaces and the Impact Player rule has further tilted the balance towards batters.
