The actor, who plays Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious adaptation of the Indian epic, shared the photograph alongside a family picture on social media.

After featuring Rashmika Mandanna Vijay Deverakonda and Saif Ali Khan Kareena Kapoor Khan, Koffee With Karan Season 9 is set to welcome another much-loved celebrity couple. For the first time since their wedding, Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani will share the couch with host Karan Johar, and the newly released promo offers a glimpse into their playful equation, candid conversations and humorous exchanges. Karan Johar unveiled the promo a day ahead of the episode's premiere, giving viewers a preview of the couple's banter. The conversation touches upon their wedding in Jaisalmer, with Karan recalling the occasion and telling Kiara, Your marriage was so special. Kiara, however, was quick to reveal an amusing incident from their sangeet night, involving the filmmaker and actor Shahid Kapoor. Recalling how Karan took over the dance floor, she said, Should we tell them what song you danced on? Shahid said 'Chalo lets go on stage and give him company.' You threw him off the stage. The conversation also moved towards the couple's private life, with Karan asking whether they bring roleplay or specific characters into their relationship outside work. Sidharth responded with a witty remark, saying, We dont want to bring work home and definitely not into our bedroom. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Karan Johar (@karanjohar) When Karan subsequently asked what they do to ensure a date night does not end immediately after dinner, Kiara appeared amused and responded, Bas abhi ho gaya. The promo also features an unexpected exchange when Karan poses the rather unusual question, How long can a slippery dick be? While Kiara breaks into laughter, Sidharth responds with, ara Hindi mein batayiye, leaving Karan momentarily at a loss for words. The upcoming episode marks Sidharth and Kiara's first joint appearance on Koffee With Karan as a married couple. Their appearance follows a series of celebrity couple episodes that have generated interest among viewers this season. The Sidharth Malhotra - Kiara Advani episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9 will premiere on JioHotstar on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 7 PM.

Jammu, Nov 10: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch on Tuesday filed a chargesheet against a man accused of forgery and cheating in connection with procuring a vehicular term loan from a bank in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir, an official said. The chargesheet against Rahul Sudan, a resident of Dhyansar village of Bari Brahmana, was filed in the Munsiff Court Samba, said a spokesperson of the Crime Branch, Jammu. He said the investigation originated from a written complaint lodged in 2022 by Nikhil Singh Jamwal, the then branch manager of Canara Bank, Bari Brahmana. The case pertains to a term loan of Rs 7.92 lakh sanctioned to the accused on June 14, 2016, for the purchase of a car, against which an outstanding amount of Rs 5.64 lakh remains unpaid.

The fake document enabled the unauthorised transfer of a vehicle to a third party without clearing the banks active financial liabilities or securing a legitimate bank NOC. During the investigation, it also came to light that he is a habitual offender with prior similar fraud cases registered against him, the spokesperson said.

India's wheat plantings seen at record high but final output to depend on weather, FAO says
India is poised for record wheat planting this season, supported by government incentives and soil moisture. The final wheat output will depend significantly on weather patterns influenced by El Nino in April and May.

Adequate snow cover from expected precipitation could benefit both overwintering crops and reservoir replenishment.

ECI allows Kerala voters missing from SIR draft roll to apply afresh
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 10 (IANS) The Election Commission of India (ECI) has clarified that voters whose names are missing from the draft electoral roll published as part of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) can submit fresh applications in Form 6 to get their names included in the final voters' list. The clarification is significant as many voters had expressed concern over submitting Form 6 when their names had appeared in earlier electoral rolls. They feared that doing so could amount to making a false declaration, as the form requires applicants to state that they are seeking enrolment in the electoral roll for the first time. The Commission has now made it clear that there is no bar on such voters submitting Form 6 merely because they were enrolled in previous electoral rolls. They can apply afresh by following the prescribed procedure during the ongoing SIR exercise or even after its completion. The ECI has also addressed concerns over possible legal action against such applicants. It has clarified that an Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) cannot initiate proceedings under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, solely because a person who was enrolled in an earlier electoral roll has submitted a fresh Form 6 application. Section 31 provides for punishment for making false declarations in connection with electoral rolls. The Commission's clarification is expected to remove the fear of legal action among former voters who may otherwise hesitate to apply for inclusion. However, the Commission has made it clear that applicants must meet the prescribed conditions. They must ensure that their names are not already included in the electoral roll of another constituency outside the relevant Parliamentary or Assembly constituency. They must also ensure that the declaration made in the application is legally valid. The clarification follows queries received by the Commission from voters who were unsure about the correct procedure to follow after finding their names missing from the SIR draft roll. The ECI has advised all such former voters to submit Form 6 and complete the required formalities to ensure that their names are included in the final electoral roll. The clarification is aimed at ensuring that eligible voters are not left out of the electoral process merely because their names did not figure in the draft list.

The proposed Shillong Ropeway Project is part of broader efforts to improve urban connectivity and ease traffic congestion in the rapidly growing hill city. However, the project has triggered concerns among sections of local residents and community organisations over its location and the potential impact on surrounding areas. The protestors have been demanding that the project either be scrapped or shifted to another location. Several traditional bodies and social organisations have also been drawn into the debate, prompting the local legislator and Cabinet Minister Sanbor Shullai to convene a wider consultation with stakeholders. The proposed project is expected to connect key locations through an aerial transport system, reducing dependence on road-based travel. However, concerns over the project's alignment, location and its potential impact on local communities have turned the infrastructure proposal into a contentious issue, forcing the government to seek public feedback before moving ahead with its implementation. The committee has asked stakeholders to place their concerns and suggestions before the meeting, which will subsequently be submitted to the Meghalaya government. The consultation is being closely watched as the state government seeks to push infrastructure development while addressing growing concerns among local communities over the proposed project's location and implementation.

IIT Hyderabad students turn sunlight and fish waste into sustainable solutions
From cooking meals using sunlight to growing plants through a system that recycles water with the help of fish, students at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad are exploring innovative, sustainable solutions to everyday challenges. The two projects focus on making better use of available resources, addressing practical needs and demonstrating how affordable technology can contribute to a more sustainable future. One of the innovations is a portable solar cooker designed especially for daily-wage workers who often struggle to find the time and facilities to prepare meals at their workplaces. Developed by IIT Hyderabad students, the cooker uses solar energy instead of conventional fuels such as LPG, electricity or firewood. Its portable design allows workers to carry it along and prepare meals, including rice, wherever sunlight is available. Explaining the idea behind the innovation, Chandrakant, an IIT Hyderabad student, said the team developed the cooker keeping in mind...

This year, she is getting married to somebody else at three o'clock. Waitrose Christmas advert 2026 at a glance Question Answer Title The Perfect Gift 2 Premiere 6.30am on Tuesday 10 November 2026, on YouTube and Waitrose.com Length Six minutes, two minutes longer than the 2025 film Cast Keira Knightley as herself, Joe Wilkinson as Phil, Alex Hassell as Hugo Bunty-Griffin Director Molly Manners ( One Day ), through Biscuit Filmworks Agency Wonderhood Studios Music An original score recorded by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra Extras 60-second and 30-second trailers, romcom-style film posters, bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage What happens in the Waitrose Christmas advert 2026? The film picks up a year after Phil, the lovelorn everyman everyone calls Phil Phil, met Keira over a block of Sussex Charmer cheddar at the Waitrose cheese counter. Now she is about to marry Hugo, a man who seems more interested in admiring himself than his bride, and who treats the wedding like a personal photoshoot. Phil, meanwhile, is moping at home until his friends persuade him to do something about it. He bakes the beef Wellington of his life, and sets off for the ceremony. The journey does not go smoothly. He has a flat tyre, a dog with an alarmingly good sense of smell and a very large stately home standing in the way. How does the Waitrose Christmas advert end? (Spoilers) When Phil bursts into the wedding, his Wellington slides down the aisle. He has brought a jar of his own sauce, labelled Marry Me Instead?. Keira, in the end, swaps the wedding aisle for the man she met in the Waitrose aisle, and proposes to him with a ring made from a cheeseboard, with Phil's jar as the diamond. The film closes with what one trade report calls a subtle nod to another classic romcom, Notting Hill . Who stars in the Waitrose Christmas advert 2026? Knightley, best known for Love Actually and, more recently, Netflix's Black Doves , plays a version of herself again. Wilkinson, who also appeared in After Life , is back as Phil. They are joined by Rivals actor Alex Hassell as Hugo. Reports also list This Morning presenters Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond among the cameos. Knightley said she had not expected to find herself caught between two men and a beef Wellington. Wilkinson said he was chuffed to be back for the sequel. Why did Waitrose make a sequel? Because viewers asked for one. Waitrose's chief customer officer, Nathan Ansell, said last year's advert sparked a huge reaction, and that customers were clear that hey wanted to know what happened next. The 2025 advert, The Perfect Gift , ran for about four minutes. It followed Phil and Keira's cheese-counter meet-cute, and ended with him recreating the recipe for her nan's pie, which inspired a Waitrose No.1 turkey pie. It was well received. Waitrose called its sequel a bigger, bolder follow-up, with a love rival, a race against the clock and a beef Wellington as an unlikely hero. Who made The Perfect Gift 2? The film was created by Wonderhood Studios, written by creatives Jennifer Ashton and Oli Short, and directed by BAFTA-winning Molly Manners, known for One Day . Manners said she had a world-class orchestra, beautiful locations, snow and crane shots to work with. Every great romcom needs a moment where all seems lost, she added, and this one's was wrapped in pastry. Wonderhood's creative director, Jack Croft, and Stacey Bird summed up the case for a sequel as more story, more laughs and more stunts, plus, hankfully, more pastry. What else is in the Waitrose Christmas campaign? The full film sits on Waitrose's own channels. It is supported by 60-second and 30-second trailers, romcom-inspired film posters, bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage. The campaign also includes cooking content with @whatwillycook and a partnership with Meet Cutes London. The food stays at the centre of the story: besides the beef Wellington, the advert shows Waitrose's No.1 Handmade Polar Bear Bao Buns. How does it compare with the other Christmas adverts of 2026? It is one of several festive films this season. John Lewis's advert, Gloria and Pickles , launched a week earlier, on 3 November, and M&S followed on 6 November with an advert starring James Norton as an undercover Santa. Asda and Aldi have also released theirs. Waitrose's entry is a six-minute rom-com sequel. Early reaction to the film on YouTube has been warm. One viewer wrote that they had wished for a part two after last year's advert, and that Waitrose had outdone yourselves again.
