Saiyami Kher completes third Ironman 70.3 in Italy, 20 minutes faster than before

Saiyami Kher has completed her third Ironman 70.3 after participating in the endurance race in Cervia, Italy, on September 19, 2026. With this achievement, the actor has continued her endurance sports journey and become the first Indian actress to participate in three Ironman 70.3 races. Saiyami first took part in an Ironman 70.3 in 2024 in Erkner-Brandenburg, Germany, where she successfully completed the race. She returned for her second event in Jnkping, Sweden, in July 2025. With that participation, she became the first Indian actress to successfully complete the endurance race twice. A year later, Saiyami participated in her third Ironman 70.3 in Cervia, Italy. Having already completed the race twice, she entered the event with more experience and a better understanding of the demands involved. Her preparation included swimming, cycling, running and strength training, which she continued alongside her professional commitments. Speaking about participating in the race for the third time, Saiyami Kher said, The first Ironman was about discovering whether I could actually do it, and the second one was about understanding what it really takes. This time, I felt much more experienced and aware of my body, my training and the demands of the race. I knew it was going to be challenging, but I also knew how much preparation went into it. Every Ironman taught me something different, and I was looking forward to taking everything I had learnt into Cervia. It felt special to be doing this for the third time, and I was excited to see how far I could push myself this time. Saiyami later took to social media to share details of her experience. She spoke about the challenges she faced before and during the race, including travel-related difficulties, high temperatures and the conditions on race day. She wrote, 3 x Ironman 70.3. Hattrick done. Probably the toughest one yet. Two rough months leading up to the race. Then theres never any shortage of drama when it comes to me and races. @klm refused us from boarding because of an error from their end, our bike bags hadnt been updated in their system. Hours of calls, uncertainty and stress, just days before the race. We finally made it to Italy, only to be welcomed by 30C heat. A brutally hot race day, an ocean full of jellyfish, and a body that had already been through a lot. But somewhere between the chaos, the heat and the jellyfish, ! found a little more fight. 20 minutes faster than my previous 70.3. Thats what I love about this sport. You cant control everything that happens around you. You can only control how you respond. Three 70.3s. Three very different stories. And a whole lot of lessons in between. Couldnt have done this without the best company by my side @sharduldonde @taras84 @eugeniya.belousova yearly routine must continue. @coachdeepakraj for finding time guide me in between so many things. @sportsscientistsonzal for making sure the nutrition was on point through training and then the hot race day. @mirandabrinston for making me stronger. @prachishah11 for fixing my ankle for the on ground Physio help in Italy! @dpakbmx for making my bike ready. @neurogumindia @scottsportsindia @pellasportswear @adidasindia for always having my back. Hattrick done. Now Im trading gels for pizza and electrolytes for tiramisu. mumbaigirl14. With her third Ironman 70.3 now completed, Saiyami has added another chapter to her endurance sports journey.

Makers of Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Dugal starrer Little Thomas drop first song Do Guna Zindagi, a childhood joy anthem shot across Goa

Remember the unbridled joy of being seven years old and waiting for a dream to come true? Little Thomas is here to take you back in time. The makers of the upcoming film starring Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Dugal have released its first track, Do Guna Zindagi by Junglee Music (a division of Times Music), offering an affectionate glimpse into the world of the Miranda family. Sung by Raghav Meattle and composed by Aditya N. and Nayantara Bhatkal, with lyrics penned by Suresh Bhatia, the track captures the small everyday victories and quiet hopes of a family in Goa. The track centers on seven-year-old Thomas (Hridansh Parekh) as he eagerly anticipates the arrival of a baby brother, woven alongside his parents shared optimism for a happier life. Moving beyond typical beachside postcards, Do Guna Zindagi was filmed across picturesque quarters of Fontainhas, Altinho, Saligao, and Margao. The visuals bring alive quiet alleyways, hidden stairways overlooking Portuguese-era houses, and the improvised football pitches on church grounds, evoking the laid-back, susegad spirit and vibrant joie-de-vivre of its colourful and quaint neighbourhoods. Written and directed by Kaushal Oza, Little Thomas is produced by Anushka Shah, Charu Oza, Rajnikant Oza, Akshay Thakker, Kabir Ahuja, Ranjan Singh and Anurag Kashyap. The film is slated for a theatrical release on October 23. Also Read: It was only after 2016 that I got recognition, says Rasika Dugal on her journey of over 10 years to find space in Bollywood

From Udta Teer to Yeh Prem Mol Liya, Ayushmann Khurrana explores comedy and family drama

Ayushmann Khurrana is set to return to the big screen with two upcoming films that explore distinctly different genres. His next releases, Udta Teer and Yeh Prem Mol Liya, will see the actor take on contrasting cinematic worlds, continuing his approach of moving between varied characters and stories throughout his career. The first release is Udta Teer, a patriotic comedy starring Sara Ali Khan and directed by Aakash Kaushik. Produced by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, the film is set against the backdrop of espionage and comic situations. Ayushmann plays the central character in a story that combines elements of patriotism, humour and unpredictability. Following Udta Teer, Ayushmann will feature in Yeh Prem Mol Liya, directed by Sooraj Barjatya. The musical family drama stars Sharvari alongside Ayushmann and marks their first pairing. The film brings together Barjatya's focus on family relationships and emotions with a strong musical element. With music composed by Himesh Reshammiya, Yeh Prem Mol Liya explores themes of love, family and relationships. The project also sees Ayushmann step into a setting that is different from the espionage-driven comedy of his other upcoming release. Speaking about his choice of varied projects, Ayushmann Khurrana said, From my very first film, I have wanted to surprise audiences and, more importantly, surprise myself as an actor. Ive never believed in being confined to one image or genre, whether it is a social comedy, an unconventional love story, an intense drama, or a musical family saga, every film gives me an opportunity to explore a new emotion and reveal a different side of myself. The fact that audiences have embraced me through these constant shifts is incredibly special. I hope to continue taking risks, choosing stories that challenge me and delivering performances that keep them guessing. He added, What excites me most is the unpredictability of the journey. I want every film to feel like a new chapter, with a new world, a new rhythm and a new version of me. Udta Teer and Yeh Prem Mol Liya are completely different experiences, and that contrast is exactly what drew me to them. One allows me to explore the madness and humour of a genre-bending, never-seen-before patriotic comedy, while the other takes me into the warmth, emotion and music of a family drama. For me, versatility is not just about changing genres but about finding the truth of every character and making sure the audience feels something new each time they see me on screen. The two projects add to the varied filmography Ayushmann has built since his debut. Over the years, the actor has appeared in social comedies, romantic stories, dramas and action-oriented projects, often moving between different genres rather than sticking to one particular screen image. With Udta Teer and Yeh Prem Mol Liya, Ayushmann will once again be seen in two contrasting roles and narratives. While one combines espionage with comedy and patriotic elements, the other focuses on family, relationships, emotions and music.

Mona Singh recalls saying yes to 3 Idiots; says, I didn't think twice

Mona Singh has had a busy 2026, with six projects across films and web series, including Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, Border 2, Kohrra Season 2, Subedaar, Maa Ka Sum and Pritam Pedro. Over the course of the year, the actor has taken on a range of characters, including a Goan gangster, a fauji wife, a policewoman and a villain. Speaking about her approach to choosing roles, Singh said that screen time has never been the deciding factor for her. She explained that every actor, regardless of whether they are playing the protagonist or a supporting character, is ultimately portraying a character. Mona said, See, we all play a character na when we are doing a project, whether it's a movie, TV, web series, we're playing a character. Even the protagonist is playing a character, right? So Raju sir had told me that don't think about your screen time, don't think of it as a small role. He said there's no role as big or small. It's about what you bring to the table. It's about how you deliver. Whether it is impactful or not, that is up to people to decide. Singh also recalled being offered a role in 3 Idiots and said that her decision to be part of the film was immediate. She remembered being excited about working with the team, particularly director Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan. But you give your best shot because it's going to be there for years. This is the mantra of life. Just be honest, be authentic. I genuinely love the craft. And at that point of time, in 2007 or 2008 when I was offered 3 idiots, I wasn't saying yes or no to the role. I was so taken and consumed by the whole fact that there's Amir Khan, Bhavna Rani, Madhuban Kareena, it's Rajyogi Rani. I'm his biggest fan. So for me, I didn't think twice to say yes to sir. I was like, I am doing it. And then when I started to talk to him about the role, that is the time he told me, Mona, don't think of it like that, she added. Singh's comments reflect her approach to acting, where the nature of the character takes precedence over the amount of screen time. She has followed the same philosophy across her projects in 2026, taking on roles across different genres and formats. For Singh, the focus remains on delivering a performance that contributes to the story rather than measuring a role by its length. Her varied projects this year have given her an opportunity to explore different characters while continuing to focus on the craft of acting.

Vivek Sagar Prasad completes 200 international appearances for India

Digital Desk | Kakamigahara, Sep 24 (IANS) India midfielder Vivek Sagar Prasad completed 200 senior international appearances for the Indian mens hockey team during their Asian Games 2026 Pool A match against South Korea in Kakamigahara, Japan, on Thursday. Hockey India marked the milestone by congratulating the 26-year-old midfielder, who made his senior international debut in 2018 and has since established himself as a key member of the national side. Known for his composure and versatility, Vivek has been part of several major campaigns for India, including the teams bronze-medal-winning runs at the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games. He was also part of Indias gold-medal-winning team at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou and the bronze-medal-winning side at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta. His international honours include a silver medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and another at the 2018 Champions Trophy in Breda. Vivek has also contributed to Indias success at the Asian Champions Trophy, winning gold in 2023 and 2024. He was part of the Indian side that won the 2025 Asia Cup and was honoured with the Arjuna Award in 2021 for his contribution to the sport. To commemorate his 200th appearance, Vivek was presented with a special jersey by India chief coach Craig Fulton. Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey hailed the midfielders consistency and commitment over the course of his international career. Completing 200 senior international appearances is a remarkable milestone and a testament to Viveks consistency, commitment and passion for Indian hockey. I congratulate him on this special achievement and wish him many more memorable moments in the Indian jersey. Hockey India secretary general Bhola Nath Singh also praised Viveks contribution to the national team, highlighting the dedication required to sustain a long international career. Vivek reaching 200 senior international appearances is a proud moment for Hockey India and Indian hockey. His journey reflects the hard work, discipline and dedication required to sustain excellence at the international level. Vivek has played an important role in some of Indias memorable campaigns, and this milestone is a fitting recognition of his contribution. We congratulate him and wish him continued success in the years ahead.

India needs mutually assured disruption strategy to counter tech denial: MeitY Secretary

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 24 (IANS) Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Secretary S Krishnan on Thursday proposed a strategy of Mutually Assured Disruption to help India reduce its vulnerability to technology denial and disruptions in global supply chains, while maintaining access to cutting-edge technologies from around the world. Speaking at an event organised by the Public Affairs Forum of India (PAFI) in the national capital, Krishnan said India must build sufficient domestic capabilities in critical technologies so that it can continue operating even if access to foreign technologies or supplies is restricted. At the same time, he stressed that the country should remain open to global technology and innovation. Krishnan said it would be unrealistic for India to manufacture every component across the entire technology value chain domestically. Instead, the country should focus on developing substantial capabilities in strategically important segments of global supply chains, making itself an indispensable participant in key technology ecosystems. According to him, India needs to establish a significant presence in critical parts of global value chains rather than attempting complete self-sufficiency. Such a strategy would ensure that the country retains influence within supply chains and strengthens its ability to withstand external disruptions. From a strategic perspective, I think having a presence in the semiconductor space is very important. We are already, and we will keep growing as a consumer of these devices. Our per capita incomes are reaching that point of inflection where consumption will rise faster. So, electronics may be an important item of consumption, and this essentially means we need to make enough of these inputs, Krishnan stated. A significant shift has taken place since the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside other global developments, with businesses and governments increasingly recognising the risks of excessive dependence on a single market, country, or source of supply. Rather than concentrating manufacturing solely in the most cost-competitive location, there is now greater emphasis on diversification as a means of building resilience, he added.

China unlikely to back India's bid for permanent UNSC seat: John Bolton

Nupur Sanon reveals why she was upset with Kriti Sanon during her wedding: Ek hi behen hai tumhari

Nupur Sanon recently appeared on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedis Double Date with her husband Stebin Ben, where she opened up about her bond with sister Kriti Sanon and shared a candid story from her wedding preparations. Talking about the wedding, Nupur revealed that Kriti was involved in the dcor and food planning as she is good at handling such details. However, Kriti was shooting and busy at the time, while Stebin was travelling, leaving Nupur to manage several aspects of the wedding herself. This eventually left her a little upset with her sister. Nupur said, Krits was involved in the dcor with me and in what the food menu would be and all because she is really good at all these things. But she was shooting and busy at that time, and there was a time I was a little upset with her. I was like, Ek hi behen hai tumhari and I was loaded with work, because Stebin was travelling, I was doing the dcor, food and other stuff. Nupur revealed that Kriti had reassured her that she would take care of everything and that she didn't need to worry. After the wedding, the dcor team also shared something that stayed with Nupur and showed her sister's hands-on nature. She added, Kriti had promised me, You don't have to worry, and she said that she would take care of everything. After the wedding got over, the dcor people came and said they haven't seen anyone so down to earth like Kriti. Kabhi parde sahi kar rahi thi, she was actually like a crew member. And that's the actual side of Kriti. Nupurs story offered a glimpse into the sisters relationship away from the spotlight, highlighting how Kriti, despite being busy with her own work, eventually made sure she was involved and helped wherever she could.

Maruti Suzuki India commissions green hydrogen plant at Manesar to support low-carbon manufacturing

Digital Desk | New Delhi/Manesar, Sep 24 (IANS) Maruti Suzuki India Limited on Thursday announced the commissioning of a 300 kW green hydrogen electrolyzer plant at its Manesar manufacturing facility in Haryana, marking a significant step in the company's efforts to adopt cleaner energy solutions and reduce carbon emissions from its production operations. The pilot project will produce green hydrogen using renewable energy and blend it with natural gas for use as process fuel in manufacturing activities. The automaker said the facility will also help maximize the utilization of solar power generated at the Manesar plant, particularly during holidays when electricity generation would otherwise remain underutilised. According to the company, excess solar energy generated at the facility will be used to produce green hydrogen through electrolysis. The hydrogen will then be stored and supplied for manufacturing operations when required. Maruti Suzuki said the project will serve as a learning platform for wider deployment of green hydrogen technology across its manufacturing facilities in Haryana and Gujarat. The initiative is aligned with the Government of India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and forms part of the company's broader strategy to diversify renewable energy sources used in its operations. Maruti Suzuki Managing Director and CEO Hisashi Takeuchi said the company has adopted a multi-pathway approach not only for its products but also for its manufacturing operations. He noted that the green hydrogen project, alongside investments in solar energy, biogas and battery energy storage systems, reflects the company's commitment to transitioning towards cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions. Takeuchi said India is increasingly emerging as a global manufacturing hub, where competitiveness will be determined not only by cost and quality but also by carbon intensity. He added that Maruti Suzuki is building capabilities today to support a low-carbon and energy-efficient manufacturing ecosystem in the future. The company aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions from its manufacturing operations, targeting a decline from the current 615,000 tonnes to 266,000 tonnes by FY31 through the adoption of multiple clean energy technologies.
