Ranbir Kapoor recently shared an interesting anecdote about his familys approach to appreciation and professional success during an appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18. In a conversation with host Amitabh Bachchan, the actor spoke about a generational tradition in the Kapoor family that started with great grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor and grandfather Raj Kapoor, where fathers have often refrained from openly praising their sons, believing that constant appreciation could take away their drive to improve. Recalling an incident involving Raj Kapoor and Prithviraj Kapoor, Ranbir revealed that he had come across the story in a book on Raj Kapoor written by his aunt, Ritu Nanda. According to the anecdote, Raj Kapoor once questioned his father about why he never acknowledged his achievements or appreciated his work, even after becoming a celebrated star. Sharing the story on the show, Ranbir said, Main ek kahani suni thi mere dadaji Shri Raj Kapoor ki kitab mein jo Ritu bua, Mrs. Ritu Nanda ne likhi thi, ke wo gaye the Prithviraj Kapoor ke paas aur unse unhone poocha ki aaj aapka beta star hai, itna kuch kar raha hai, aap kabhi meri tareef nahi karte, mere peeth pe thapthapate nahi. Toh unhone ek kahani sunai thi Shri Raj Kapoor ko ki ek chhota balak tha raste par ek balancing act karta tha ek rope par aur roz bahut saari janata aati thi, taaliyan maarti thi, paise dete the, bahut wah-wah hoti thi. Ranbir went on to narrate the story of a young boy who performed a balancing act on a rope by the roadside. While audiences applauded him and rewarded him after every performance, the boy would turn to his father for an assessment. His father, however, would consistently tell him that there was still room for improvement. Explaining how the story concluded, Ranbir added, Aur jab act khatam hota tha toh balak apne pita ke paas jaata tha aur poochhta tha ki babuji kaisi rahi, aur wo hamesha ek hi baat kehte the, 'Kasar rahi'. Aisa lagata hota tha, 'Kasar rahi, kaisi hui? Kasar rahi, kaisi lagi? Kasar rahi.' Toh ek din bahut saalon baad jab unhone pitaji se poochha ki main itna achha karta hoon, log itni tareef karte hain, itni wah-wah karte hain meri, aap kyun kehte ho? Toh I think jo unhone kaha tha ki beta jiss din main aapki tareef karna shuru karunga, jo aapka ek lakshya hai, aapka joh dhyan hai woh yahan se hat jayega aur aap tareef mein kho jaoge.. The lesson, as Ranbir recounted it, was that excessive praise could distract an individual from their goals and the pursuit of excellence. The anecdote also offered a glimpse into the values that have shaped the Kapoor family's approach to work across generations. The Kapoor family has had a longstanding presence in Indian cinema, beginning with Prithviraj Kapoor, who made significant contributions to theatre and films. Raj Kapoor went on to become one of Hindi cinemas most celebrated filmmakers and actors, with subsequent generations continuing the family's association with the industry.

Bollywood stuntwoman and stunt director Geeta Tandon has called out the production team of India Ke Top 1% over what she described as a deeply disappointing experience on the sets of the Star Plus reality show. In a detailed social media post, Tandon alleged that she and her son were made to wait for nearly nine hours despite being invited to appear on the show as guests. She also addressed host Anil Kapoor, Farah Khan and the show's production company, Banijay Asia, raising concerns about the way they were allegedly treated. Hosted by Anil Kapoor, India Ke Top 1% is a game show featuring around 100 participants competing for prize money of up to Rs. 1 crore. The show airs on Star Plus and also streams on JioHotstar. Tandon said she had agreed to appear on the programme without any payment, believing it would offer her some visibility. However, she alleged that the experience left her feeling disrespected. Opening her post, she wrote, 20 years in this industry. And yesterday, I was reminded how little respect people working behind the scenes are sometimes given. Explaining how she came to be on the sets, Tandon said, My name is Geeta Tandon. I have worked in the film and television industry for over two decades, as a body double for some of the biggest actresses in the country and as a stunt director. I have dedicated years of my life to this profession, often working behind the camera, and I have always taken immense pride in what I do. Yesterday, I was invited to appear as a guest on the show India Ke Top 1%, to interact with Anil Kapoor, along with my son. According to Tandon, the production team had repeatedly followed up with her for the appearance. She claimed that she gave up a day's work and even called her son back from Goa specifically for the shoot. Recalling the events of the day, she said she reached the set at 12:30 PM and was informed that her segment would be filmed within a few hours. However, the wait allegedly continued through the day, with little communication from the team. She further alleged that she and her son were made to sit in a tent without proper updates or clarity about when they would be called. Tandon said that when she eventually confronted the production team, she was met with another response that she found unacceptable. Recalling the exchange, she wrote, The production manager, Jaydeep, responded, If they want to leave, let them leave. But they can't leave without signing. Signing what? And why should anyone be made to feel that they cannot leave after being kept waiting all day? Tandon claimed that she and her son eventually left the set at 9:15 PM, after spending nearly nine hours there. Emphasising that the appearance was unpaid, she said the least she expected was basic courtesy and respect for their time. Addressing Banijay Asia, Anil Kapoor and Farah Khan, she clarified that she did not know how much they were aware of the alleged incident and was not suggesting that they had personally instructed anyone to treat them that way. However, she wanted them to know about the experience of guests invited to the show. Concluding her post, Tandon highlighted the larger issue of how professionals working behind the scenes are treated in the entertainment industry. She wrote, The person standing behind the camera deserves the same dignity as the person standing in front of it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Geeta Tandon (@geetastunt) She also dedicated her post to stunt professionals, junior artists, body doubles, technicians, background performers and other guests, reiterating that respect should not depend on someone's celebrity status. At the time of writing, the allegations shared by Geeta Tandon had not been accompanied by a response from the show's production team, Banijay Asia, Anil Kapoor or Farah Khan.

South sensation Sreeleela is paired opposite him in this untitled flick, which is directed by Anurag Basu. Recently, T-Series announced that itll be released on April 30, 2027. The film has caught attention due to Kartiks look and also because it belongs to a genre that is working well in cinemas. The music is also expected to be a highlight.

However, the actor is all set to make up for his absence with three releases in the first half of 2027.

Cabinet approves Rs 2,814 crore scheme to promote critical mineral processing
New Delhi, Nov 4: The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the Capex Support Scheme to Promote Critical Mineral Processing with a financial outlay of Rs.2,814 crore over a period of five years. Processing of critical minerals remains geographically concentrated in a few global locations. This exposes supply chains to geopolitical disruptions, price volatility, and potential supply restrictions, posing severe threats to supply chain resilience and economic security. This has implications for national security, economic sovereignty, and the timely achievement of decarbonisation targets. At present, India remains substantially dependent on imports for refined intermediates and high-purity materials, owing to the nascent stage of domestic beneficiation and processing infrastructure for critical minerals, including Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt. Domestic processing capacity for critical minerals remains limited, with commercial-scale projects facing challenges relating to high capital requirements, limited availability of suitable technologies and constrained access to raw materials. Domestic processing capacity is therefore imperative for maximising value addition, achieving import substitution, and establishing resilient end-to-end value chains. Against this backdrop, the Capex Support Scheme to Promote Critical Mineral Processing has been formulated to provide targeted capital expenditure support for the establishment and operationalisation of domestic processing facilities. The scheme aims to develop domestic processing capabilities in India to support value addition within the country, reduce import dependence, and develop value chain. The scheme targets processing of Lithium and Nickel ores/intermediary products into high purity compounds. Cobalt is also expected to be recovered as a by-product of nickel production. This will support critical sectors such as electric mobility, Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), electronics, defence, speciality steel etc. The proposed scheme envisages a total financial outlay of Rs.2,814 crore. The scheme period is from FY 2026-27 to 2030-31. Under the scheme, capital subsidy of 30% of eligible investment will be provided for setting up four critical mineral processing plants, comprising two lithium processing plants (with a minimum capacity of 30 kt each) and two nickel processing plants (with a minimum capacity of 50 kt each). The maximum capital support will be capped at Rs.500 crore per lithium beneficiary and Rs.900 crore per nickel beneficiary, respectively. The selection of beneficiaries shall be carried out through a two-stage process. In the first stage, applications shall be assessed for technical qualification, and only technically qualified applicants shall be eligible to participate in the second stage of financial bidding. For each mineral, two beneficiaries shall be selected based on the least-cost criterion, i.e., the lowest CAPEX support sought by the bidders under the Scheme. The incentives will be disbursed in three tranches linked to the achievement of specified milestones. The Scheme is an important step towards advancing the objectives of Atmanirbhar Bharat by supporting the development of resilient domestic processing infrastructure and strengthening Indias capabilities across the critical mineral value chain.

Mahadev online betting app case: CBI gets 8-day custody of Sourabh Chandrakar
Digital Desk | Raipur, Nov 4 (IANS) A CBI court in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, on Wednesday granted eight days of custodial remand of Sourabh Chandrakar, the main accused in the Mahadev online betting app case, to the Central Bureau of Investigation. The court accepted the CBIs request for remand during his production hearing. The agencys team will now take him to Delhi for interrogation at its headquarters. He is required to be produced before the court again on November 12. Officials and lawyers from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) were also present during the CBIs arguments. The ED has separately sought Chandrakar's remand. His counsel, Tushar Giri, opposed the CBIs remand plea, calling it improper. Heavy police deployment and heightened security were arranged around the court campus in view of the hearing. Chandrakar, a prime accused in the alleged multi-crore betting scam estimated at around Rs 6,000 crore, was flown to Raipur from Delhi by a CBI team on Tuesday. The agency brought him to India after his extradition from Oman. On Monday, a Delhi court at Rouse Avenue granted two days transit remand and handed him over to the CBI. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said the key accused has been brought back and that CBI questioning may yield several more names. He targeted the Congress, alleging that the party had undermined democracy for its own interests and is now speaking of democratic values. Congress state president Deepak Baij, addressing a press conference, noted that while Chandrakar has been brought to India, co-accused Ravi Uppal and Shubham Soni remain at large. He questioned the whereabouts of Soni, who had released a video related to the Mahadev app during the 2023 elections. Baij claimed that more than 72 FIRs were registered in the matter during the previous Congress government, along with raids and arrests. Earlier, Chandrakars lawyer raised questions about the extradition process, citing the court order in Oman. He argued that Indias request to Oman had received approval only for the ED case and not the CBI case, and that action could therefore be taken only in the matters on the basis of which he was extradited. The CBI is investigating the Mahadev betting app cases. The Chhattisgarh government had transferred 13 FIRs to the agency; charge sheets have already been filed in two of them. The ED is also probing the money-laundering angle and has filed a prosecution complaint against Chandrakar. According to the CBI, Chandrakar, Ravi Uppal, and their associates promoted the app, created multiple platforms for online betting, and channelled the proceeds through various bank accounts to the UAE. Chandrakar had been absconding in Dubai since 2023. An Interpol Red Corner Notice was issued against him. He was arrested by Omans Royal Police on July 8 and brought to India on November 1 after 116 days.

Exercise GARUDA SHAKTI: Indian, Indonesian special forces conduct combat, airborne drills
Digital Desk | Jakarta, Nov 4 (IANS) The Indian and Indonesian armies conducted integrated special forces exercises on Wednesday to strengthen their ability to undertake coordinated combat and airborne operations, while enhancing interoperability between the two forces during joint military exercise GARUDA SHAKTI 2026 in Indonesia's East Java. In a post on X, the Indian Embassy in Jakarta said the 48-hour validation exercise involved joint training in battlefield medical care, combat tracking of the enemy, and responding to enemy engagements in difficult jungle terrain. The 48-hour validation exercise of GARUDA SHAKTI2026 continues, with Special Forces of the Indian Army and Indonesian Army (TNI-AD) jointly undertaking Tactical Combat Casualty Care, combat tracking, and conducting contact drills in the face of enemy under challenging conditions of the jungle terrain, the Embassy said. As interoperability soared to the skies, Combat Free Fallers from both forces executed free fall jumps jointly, building mutual confidence in each other's equipment, tactics and standard operating procedures, it further mentioned. These integrated drills lay the groundwork for advanced airborne operations and enhanced operational synergy between the two elite forces across the spectrum of special operations, it added. On Tuesday, both countries' armies began the joint military GARUDA SHAKTI 2026 validation exercise in East Java, marking a major boost to bilateral defence cooperation. Special Forces of Indian Army and TNI-AD commenced the final validation exercise of GARUDA SHAKTI2026 in the harsh and unforgiving jungle terrain of East Java. The exercise spanning over 48 hours will test the troops on the skills they honed over the last week ranging from marksmanship, mountaineering, heli-borne operations, patrolling and combat tracking, the Indian Embassy in Jakarta posted on X. Operating in a realistic scenario, these elite troops will have to work together under demanding conditions that test their endurance, tactical coordination and decision-making - all under pressure. The validation exercise is aimed at cementing the gains accrued over this edition of GARUDA SHAKTI and foraying into complex joint missions together, as a team, it added. The India-Indonesia Joint Special Forces Exercise Garuda Shakti commenced at Banyuwangi in Indonesia on October 27, with the Special Forces of the two nations set to train together in jungle warfare operations until November 6, the Ministry of Defence said. The Indian contingent comprises troops from the Parachute Regiment (Special Forces), while the Indonesian side is represented by personnel from the Indonesian Special Forces.
Labuschagnes slump is in the mind, break from Tests unavoidable: Greg Chappell
Digital Desk | Sydney, Nov 4 (IANS) Former Australia captain Greg Chappell believes Marnus Labuschagnes lean run is a problem of the mind rather than technique, adding that a break from Test cricket now looks unavoidable for the struggling right-handed batter. Labuschagne continues to endure a prolonged slump in Test cricket - having failed to reach three figures in the format since the 2023 Ashes. Since then, Labuschagne has gone 26 Tests and 49 innings without hitting a century. In this extended lean patch, Labuschagne has managed only 1,094 runs at a dismal average of 24.31, with nine half-centuries. His struggles were further highlighted during Australias recent 2-1 series loss in South Africa, where he amassed just 131 runs across six innings with the highest score of 39. The ancients understood that the mind rules the body, meaning any real battle against adversity is fought upstairs first. For Marnus Labuschagne, as he looks to find his best form again, any turnaround has to start in his head. Almost every elite batter who has played at the highest level for an extended period goes through what I call Elite Players Decline Syndrome (EPDS). Sachin Tendulkar asked me years ago why batting gets harder as you get older. Surely it must get easier! As I explained to Sachin, it gets harder because you know how difficult it is to make runs against quality bowling attacks, and you get more conservative as you age. The only way I know to overcome EPDS is to recreate the thought processes of your younger self. That is easier said than done. Watching Marnus recently, I suspect he too is suffering from EPDS. When I hear him talk about having to work harder, I doubt he will turn his form around anytime soon, wrote Chappell in his column for Cricinfo on Wednesday. He also drew a contrast between Labuschagnes current dip in form with his peak years, adding that being late into hitting the ball suggested that negative thoughts were stopping him from picking the ball out of the bowlers hand. I remember watching Marnus in his pomp and seeing his feet move quickly, like John Travolta's on the dance floor. He was obviously watching the ball closely out of the bowler's hand, picking up clues from the bowler's body language, and pouncing on deliveries like a seagull on food scraps. If you look at footage of those times, you will notice that his stance looked very athletic, with his weight solely on the balls of his feet. His footwork was decisive, and he got to the pitch of the ball in a flash. He could attack nearly every delivery. Timing and placement were his hallmark. To watch him now, he is crab-like at the crease and rarely makes contact with the ball in front of the popping crease. Where he once got to the ball a metre in front of the crease with a full, flowing bat, he is now prodding around, searching for the ball with his hands. Marnus is often late to the hitting area, which suggests to me that his head is running rampant with negative thoughts that prevent him from truly seeing the ball out of the hand. Where he was once cat-like in his movements, he is now flat-footed, as though he doesn't pick up the ball until it is halfway down the pitch, he elaborated. Chappell further stated performance anxiety had taken hold of Labuschagne and could not be fixed in the middle of a contest. His advice to the right-handed batter was to spend some time at the beach to clear his head first, and only then make a return to first-class cricket. In his heyday Marnus trusted his subconscious mind to make his decisions. All he had to do was give the conscious mind what it was designed for: seeing the ball out of the hand and intending to score. Now I believe he has lost confidence in the subconscious doing the job, so he lets the conscious mind take over every action, like a control-freak manager. The conscious mind can't run the program as efficiently and it botches the task. Marnus needs a circuit breaker, and Sheffield Shield cricket alone won't provide one. A few days by the sea to clear his head and only then a return to first-class cricket. If he goes straight back into action, I fear the cycle will continue. If he is looking for something to do after a swim, it is to watch the video of his 215 against New Zealand at the SCG in January 2020. It highlights his athletic stance and his positive attitude and intent. If he can recapture that mindset, he will go a long way toward turning his form around, he concluded.

Indias auto sector industrial leasing hits 5.4 million sq ft as manufacturers scale up: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) India's automotive and ancillary sector leased around 5.4 million sq ft of industrial space between 2024 and the first half of 2026, accounting for nearly 13 per cent of the country's built-up industrial demand during the period, a report said on Wednesday. According to a CBRE report, domestic companies remained the biggest drivers of demand, contributing 57 per cent of industrial space absorption, while occupiers from the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 26 per cent and those from Europe, the Middle East and Africa contributed 15 per cent. City-wise, Pune emerged as the largest market for automotive industrial leasing with a 28 per cent share, followed by Delhi-NCR at 25 per cent and Chennai at 20 per cent. The report noted a growing preference among automotive companies for larger and more advanced manufacturing facilities. Anshuman Magazine, Chairman and CEO, India, South-East Asia, Middle East and Africa, CBRE, said India's automotive manufacturing base is becoming more diversified, with domestic demand providing scale while stronger exports, EVs and advanced components broaden the sector. He added that as manufacturers plan larger, more technologically advanced facilities, competitiveness will depend on industrial land, reliable infrastructure and utilities, skilled talent, supplier networks and logistics connectivity. During the first half of 2026, leases for facilities measuring between 100,000 sq ft and 200,000 sq ft accounted for 46 per cent of total industrial space take-up, while facilities larger than 200,000 sq ft contributed another 38 per cent, according to the report. Together, large-format facilities represented 84 per cent of industrial leasing in the sector. Moreover, the report showed that vehicle production touched 35 million units in FY26, while automotive exports rose 14.7 per cent year-on-year to about $26 billion The sector currently contributes nearly half of India's manufacturing GDP, it added. CBRE said stronger domestic demand, rising exports, electric vehicle manufacturing and growing production of advanced components are broadening India's automotive manufacturing base and influencing location choices for new facilities. On the warehousing front, the automotive and ancillary segment leased about 12.4 million sq ft between 2021 and the first half of 2026. Chennai led warehouse leasing with a 29 per cent share, followed by Delhi-NCR at 22 per cent and Bengaluru at 14 per cent. Meanwhile, tyre manufacturers, passenger vehicle makers and component suppliers collectively accounted for more than two-thirds of warehouse demand during the period, according to the report.

Sensex, Nifty extend winning run to 5th day on strength in FMCG, metal stocks
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Benchmark equity indices extended their gains for a fifth consecutive session on Tuesday, supported by strong buying in FMCG, realty and metal stocks, while broader markets outperformed despite weakness in the IT sector. The Sensex advanced 383.55 points, or 0.5 per cent, to close at 77,301.40, while the Nifty gained 149.75 points, or 0.63 per cent, to end the session at 23,960.60. Commenting on Nifty technical outlook, experts said that despite the sustained buying momentum, the index failed to breach the crucial psychological resistance of 24,000. A decisive and sustained breakout above this level could strengthen bullish momentum and pave the way for further upside, analysts stated. On the downside, 23,75023,700 now forms the immediate support zone. Holding above this range will be important to sustain the ongoing positive momentum, market watchers noted. Market sentiment remained upbeat as investors continued to accumulate shares across a range of sectors, helping frontline indices maintain their upward momentum. Among the Nifty constituents, Bharat Electronics, Adani Enterprises and Titan Company emerged as the top gainers of the day. The rally was even stronger in the broader market segment. The Nifty MidCap 100 index climbed 1.55 per cent, while the Nifty SmallCap 100 index surged 2 per cent. On the sectoral front, Nifty IT was the lone major laggard, declining more than 1 per cent and emerging as the worst-performing index. In contrast, Nifty Media, Nifty Metal, Nifty FMCG and Nifty Realty registered strong gains and led the market higher. Experts said that the sustained upmove in domestic equities reflects improving risk appetite among investors, with strength in consumption-linked, real estate and commodity shares offsetting weakness in technology stocks. Domestically, optimism around possible tax relief maybe in the upcoming Union Budget, better-than-expected quarterly earnings and resilient festive consumption added momentum to the rally, analysts noted. Going forward, earnings visibility and crude prices will remain key drivers; selective stock-specific positioning is advisable amid geopolitical uncertainty, market watchers noted.

Now, 'Agniveers' to have option to serve for another two years
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) The Centre has introduced a major change to the 'Agnipath' scheme by announcing a second two-year service term option for Agniveers after they complete their initial four years of service. The Union Cabinet decision was announced by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General N.S. Raja Subramani during a press conference on Wednesday. He said that while 25 percent of Agniveers will be inducted into the Indian Armed Forces as regular soldiers, the remaining 75 per cent will be given the opportunity to serve for an additional two years and will then be given an opportunity to serve as regular soldiers in the Army, provided that they are willing and meet the required criteria. 75 per cent of Agniveers will be offered a second engagement period of two years. After completing those two years, all Agniveers will be given an opportunity to become regular soldiers in the Indian Armed Forces. There are two conditions: they must be willing to join, and they must meet the prescribed selection criteria, the CDS said. This decision will allow those Agniveers who are not selected as regular soldiers after completing four years of service to continue serving in the armed forces. After the additional two-year period, there will also be a provision for their regularisation in the military. Notably, the first batch of Agniveers is completing its service this month. General Subramani stated that under the existing system, up to 25 per cent of Agniveers completing four years of service are to be inducted as regular soldiers. The remaining 75 per cent will now have the option of a second two-year service term, enabling them to continue serving for an additional period. After completing the second service term, their performance will be reviewed. Their efficiency, achievements during service, and organisational requirements will be assessed. Agniveers who demonstrate positive performance and meet the prescribed standards may be considered for regular service in the future. The CDS clarified that, along with the willingness of the Agniveers, the Armed Forces operational and organisational requirements would also be taken into account. Objective criteria will be followed for selection. Agniveers performance is evaluated periodically during their service, he added. This evaluation includes factors such as physical fitness, motivation, morale, discipline, and technical proficiency. The purpose of the second service term is to provide Agniveers with more opportunities to enhance their skills and experience. It will also help the armed forces retain trained and experienced manpower. During the second service period, Agniveers will receive higher pay and an increased service fund benefit, giving them better financial returns for the additional two years of service. General Subramani further said that the second service term would allow the armed forces to benefit from the experience of Agniveers for a longer period. During their initial four years, Agniveers gain military training, discipline, and experience in various responsibilities. The additional two years will help further strengthen this experience. The new arrangement aims to strike a balance between organisational requirements, operational effectiveness, and the performance of Agniveers. The government's decision is being viewed as a significant step toward providing Agniveers with an additional opportunity for longer service in the armed forces.
