The announcement was led by Dr. Sundar Ramakrishnan, Managing Trustee of SNR Sons Charitable Trust. He was joined by the trust's Chief Executive Officer C. V. Ramkumar, Chief Administrative Officer D. Maheshkumar, Medical Director Dr. S. Rajagopal, Medical Superintendent Dr. S. Alagappan, and senior cardiology consultants. Together they framed the certification as proof of the hospital's push toward world-class cardiac care.

The timing matters. Heart disease is one of the biggest killers in Tamil Nadu, behind roughly 36% of all deaths among people aged 30 to 69. The most recent figures point to a 12.5% year-on-year rise in heart attack deaths. That climbing toll is exactly why hospitals are under pressure to sharpen how they handle ST-elevation myocardial infarction, the deadliest form of heart attack.

So what does the certification actually mean? The American Heart Association awards it only to hospitals that meet tough standards for diagnosing heart attacks quickly and treating them well. A Comprehensive Chest Pain Center has the staff, infrastructure and technology to act fast, including Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, the mechanical procedure used to reopen blocked arteries and restore blood flow to the heart. Certified centers also have to show they follow evidence-based protocols and keep improving the way they coordinate patient care.

The association's reasoning is blunt about why speed counts. When someone has a heart attack, every minute counts, and hospitals need to be ready to coordinate care without delay, said the incoming co-chair of the AHA's International Committee. The certification, the official explained, was built to help hospitals work in a more joined-up way, lift outcomes for cardiovascular patients, and deliver reliable care to people arriving with both cardiac and non-cardiac chest pain.

The broader goal is to cut cardiac deaths by getting more people to recognize heart attack symptoms early, seek help sooner, and reach proper treatment without losing time.

For the hospital, the certification reads as a marker of how far its cardiology department has come. "This certification is a significant milestone in the continued growth of Sri Ramakrishna Hospital and a proud achievement for our Department of Cardiology," Dr. Ramakrishnan said. He added that the focus stays on making sure every patient gets timely, evidence-based cardiac care at the highest standard, backed by advanced technology and international quality benchmarks.

The collaboration pushes into territory the Indian streaming scene has barely touched: full-blown horror in the heartland's own language. Daakan leans on the old fears and local legends of Rajasthan to build something the makers describe as atmospheric and culturally rooted, not just scary for the sake of it.

STAGE has built its name on exactly this kind of regional bet. Titles like Saanwari, Punarjanam, Khejdi and Naate have turned the platform into the clear front-runner in India's dialect OTT space, and it has been steadily widening its premium slate. Pairing that audience knowledge with Sunshine's track record, the two companies are betting on a horror experience the regional market hasn't seen before.

Sunshine Productions isn't new to the game. Founded in 1997 by director duo Seema and Sudhir Sharma, the house carries nearly three decades of work across television, OTT and now feature films. Its flagship series Jamnapaar, on Amazon MX, landed among India's Top 10 most-watched originals in 2024–25 according to Ormax, while Yeh Meri Family picked up several Exchange4Media honours, including Best Drama Series. Daakan marks the studio's turn toward Rajasthani supernatural horror.

Parveen Singhal, Co-Founder and CCO of STAGE, said audiences across Bharat stay closely tied to the stories and spirits of their land, yet horror in their own dialect has gone largely unserved. He called Daakan the platform's answer to that gap and described Sunshine, with its knack for niche, youth-leaning content, as the right partner to bring the world to life. He expects the series to set a fresh benchmark for horror in the heartland.

Seema and Sudhir framed the project around their long-running idea of entertainment that stays relevant. For Rajasthan's viewers, they argued, little could be more relevant than a horror tale told in their own voice and built on the lore they grew up with. They praised STAGE for creating a platform that respects the heartland's cultural identity and said Daakan had found the right home.

Launched in 2019, STAGE positions itself as India's first and largest dialect-based OTT service, serving audiences in Haryanvi, Rajasthani, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali and other underserved dialects. With millions of paying subscribers and backing from global investors, the company has worked to prove that regional content can be both authentic and profitable.

Kawale broke through as a lead with the 2024 Marathi feature Janma Runn, which drew notice for his on-screen presence. He has since appeared in Thoda Tuza Thoda Maza, The Legend of Michael Mishra and Aathwa Rang Premacha. Television viewers know him from a long run of popular serials, among them Sasural Simar Ka 2, Shakti, Tulsi Humari Badi Sayani and Molkki. On the digital side, he featured in the Zee5 Marathi series Liftman.

Navya Chakra moves him into darker territory. Directed by Amit Dixit and written by Rohit S. Yadav, the film opens on a string of brutal killings scattered across several states. At first the murders look random, with nothing tying the victims or the suspects together. But as panic spreads and the press closes in, the investigation veers somewhere far more unsettling.

Kawale described the shoot as one of the most satisfying he's done. He said the film blends suspense, emotion and mystery in a way that holds attention from start to finish, and that he's drawn to stories that push him to play different shades of a character. He added that he's eager for audiences to follow the journey the team built on screen.

Working across films, television and OTT has shaped him as a performer, the actor said, with each format teaching him something the others couldn't. His priority, he noted, has stayed the same throughout: take on work that means something and keep evolving. He framed Navya Chakra as another marker on that path and said he hopes viewers connect with it.

That steady climb hasn't gone unnoticed. People in the industry have pointed to his ability to move between languages and formats without losing footing, and the new film lands at a moment when his career is gathering pace.

Navya Chakra is produced by Amit Dixit, Ankita Goyal and Ayush Jain, with Ajit Padwalkar serving as co-producer. The ensemble cast features Jitendraa Bohara, Kawale, Jessica Yadav, Pratiksha Singh, Kshitij Pawar, Sandhya Gemawat, Kailash Chaudhary and Sandeep Rawal in key roles.

The film reaches cinemas on June 26, 2026.

The event was held at the National Stock Exchange Auditorium, Mumbai, and was attended by policymakers, industry representatives, legal professionals and members of the startup ecosystem. Maharashtra Minister Ashish Shelar attended the programme as the Chief Guest, while several other dignitaries, including Mangal Prabhat Lodha, were also present.

Rohini Vakil has been associated with the media and entertainment industry for over two decades, advising creators, producers, broadcasters and content owners on intellectual property and commercial rights matters. The recognition highlighted her contribution towards strengthening the protection and commercialization of intellectual property within India’s creative industries.

The book launch centred on the growing importance of intellectual property as a driver of enterprise creation and economic growth. Speakers at the event discussed the evolving relationship between innovation, intellectual property ownership, entrepreneurship and capital formation.

Commenting on developments within the media and entertainment sector, Rohini Vakil noted that intellectual property is increasingly becoming a key business asset for content-driven enterprises. She observed that as India’s creative economy expands, production houses and media companies are exploring new avenues for institutional growth, investment and long-term value creation.

With India pursuing its Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, industry stakeholders at the event emphasized the need to strengthen intellectual property ecosystems and create pathways for creative enterprises to scale their businesses. In this context, Rohini Vakil has been advising media and entertainment companies on legal and strategic issues relating to intellectual property, business structuring and growth initiatives.

The award recognised her contribution to the legal profession and her work in supporting creators and rights holders across India’s media and entertainment landscape.

The session was a heartwarming blend of experience and enthusiasm. Veteran practitioners among the seniors moved with graceful precision, their steady breathing and focused postures inspiring everyone around them. “Yoga has been my companion for over four decades,” shared one elderly participant with a warm smile. “It keeps my body flexible and my mind at peace. Seeing the young ones join us today fills my heart with joy.”

The younger participants, full of vigor, brought infectious energy to the gathering. Their perfect handstands and lively spirit added a fresh dimension to the session, proving that yoga truly transcends age. Women participants, many balancing family responsibilities, found the morning particularly rejuvenating, describing it as a much-needed pause for both body and soul.

Organizers emphasized that the event was more than just physical exercise. “Yoga is a way of life,” said one coordinator. “It builds mental resilience, fosters discipline, and strengthens community bonds. Today’s gathering beautifully showcased how this ancient practice unites generations.”

The atmosphere remained uplifting throughout, with participants exchanging tips, sharing laughter, and clicking memorable group photos. In a fast-paced world, such events serve as gentle reminders of the importance of inner peace and collective well-being.

Dehradun, Uttarakhand – June 2026  - DBS Global University is writing a success story in a year when news headlines pointing to ‘frozen hirings in IT’ or ‘cautious recruitment in banking sector’ surged all over the media platforms. Sector-focused strategy, placement intelligence, and the relentless pursuit of student’s career success powered placements at the university.

The university's 2025-26 placement season has delivered results extraordinarily. The average package stands at ₹8.7 LPA, with the top 20 percent of graduates securing ₹13.47 LPA, and the highest package crossing ₹40 LPA. These are the numbers that reflect not academic merit alone, but a deliberate institutional approach to an unshakeable placement architecture. The overall number of offerings at DGU increased by 84% as the number of companies visiting the campus increased by 32%.

A Strategy Built Across Successful Sector-Wide Placement to Address Uncertainty in the Job Market

The broader job market began slowing down, particularly in IT, where mass layoffs made global news, and in banking, where hiring volumes softened during the last financial year. It impacted the placement ratio heavily, nationwide. Amidst the prowling fear in the job market, DBS Global University stood tall among many top universities in India that followed a sector-focused approach and strategized placements. The placement team pivoted early, reinforcing a sector-diversified recruitment model designed to shield students from the volatility of any single industry.

"We don't rely on one sector to carry our results," said a senior placement official. "Our strategy is built around ensuring that a slowdown in one domain never becomes a crisis for our students."

This hedge proved effective. While peers dependent on IT-heavy recruitment felt the pinch, DBS Global University maintained placement momentum by deepening relationships across core and emerging sectors simultaneously.

Core Sectors Step Up and Deliver

The most remarkable story of this season is the focus on core sector placements. DBS Global University successfully placed students in a diverse mix of sectors inviting top IT companies (Wipro, Tech Mahindra, HCL Tech, Infosys), FMCG companies ( ITC, Mother Dairy, Dabur), cement companies (ACC cement, Adani cement, UltraTech cement, JK cement), &  home construction companies (Asian Paints, Somany Tiles, Johnson, & Saint-Gobain).

Students received placement in multiple sectors including retail, edtech, logistics, banking, consulting, NBFC, insurance, ecommerce and manufacturing.

DBS Global University has built relationships with the top recruiters who recruit from the topmost private universities in India. In each of these verticals, 4 out of the top 5 companies in each sector recruit from DGU’s campus every year. That is not a mere coincidence! It is the outcome of sustained engagement, alumni networks, and a curriculum aligned to real industry needs that has put DBS Global University in the premium recruiting tier.

These sectors offered quality with volume. Companies in building materials and consumer goods recruited students for roles in leadership, supply chain management, operations, and brand management. These are the key areas where DBS Global University graduates have consistently proven their worth.

Top Companies, Across Every Sector

The IT and banking slowdown tested campuses nationwide. At DBS Global University, the response was to double down on what was already working and to go even deeper.

This consistency from top-tier recruiters across sectors signals, “employers across industries trust the talent pool of the university, regardless of the economic climate in any one domain.”

Students at the Centre of Placement Strategy

Behind every package figure is a student whose professional journey has been strategized based on a sector-wide plan. The placement team's segment-wise focused approach created better fits, stronger offer retention, and higher job satisfaction.

For DBS Global University, placements are not just a metric to be managed. They are the culmination of years of investment in a student's career cycle.

Industries evolve and the hiring equation continues to change but DBS Global University remains committed to place future-ready graduates with the top recruiters.

Gaurii comes from an orthodox family where girls are traditionally married off at a very young age. However, her parents believed in education and ensured that she completed her studies. Later, she pursued an MBA and also joined her father's business, which helped her become financially independent and shaped her entrepreneurial mindset.

Sharing her experience at the competition, Gaurii says, "Representing India on an international platform and winning four medals was an unforgettable experience. In a country where sports other than cricket often don't receive the same level of attention, facilities, or recognition, achieving success becomes even more meaningful. The most emotional moment was standing on the podium and hearing the national anthem play. The goosebumps and pride that come with representing your country cannot be explained in words. It is a feeling every athlete dreams of experiencing."

When asked about her fitness journey, she says, "My fitness journey started when I was in Class 12. I had gained a lot of weight and decided to join a gym to get fit. During my training, my coach noticed that I had natural strength and could lift heavier weights than most beginners. He suggested that I try powerlifting. I participated in a competition, won, and became addicted to the feeling of success. From that point onward, powerlifting became my passion and eventually my profession."

Gaurii also shares how her family's support has helped her. "My family's support has been one of the biggest reasons behind my success. Coming from a conservative background, it wasn't easy to pursue sports, but my parents always stood by me. They encouraged me to study, supported my decisions, and gradually became my strongest pillars throughout my journey."

India, June 15 -- A study conducted by FindMyCollege, covering more than 1 lakh active IT jobs in the current market, finds the pay ladder starting at a median of ₹2.6 LPA (lakhs per annum), rising to ₹25 LPA for experienced roles. However, a new mid-career band gap has emerged. This segment has also been historically the largest in the Indian IT sector, making up nearly 57% of the IT hirings in the market. But, currently, its getting strangled due to artificial intelligence consolidating many roles. The mid-level SDE segment has witnessed a dip of 11 per cent in hirings in just 12 months.

“Building for scale before purpose is a fragile strategy,” Gauravv says. “When I was in the trenches in Uganda building Watu Credit, I realized that if we focused only on the numbers, we would have missed the point. We were providing financial tools to the ‘unbankable.’ The scale came because the purpose was so deeply rooted in solving a genuine, painful problem. Purpose is the engine; scale is just the byproduct.”

Reflecting on the lessons that shaped him as an entrepreneur, he admits that his early beliefs about business were challenged by reality. “As a first-time entrepreneur, I believed that ‘if you build it, they will come.’ I thought technical excellence or a great model was enough,” he shares. 

“My time in Uganda taught me that distribution and local trust are the real gatekeepers. You can have the perfect financial product, but without being on the ground earning the trust of the local community, it’s just an idea.”

In an era where viral success often dominates headlines, Gauravv emphasizes that attention alone cannot sustain a business. “In our current viral economy, attention is the entry fee, but quality is the retention strategy,” he says. “You might capture eyes with a viral moment, but if the product doesn’t deliver value, the retention cliff is inevitable. At Watu, we didn’t have the luxury of virality; we had to deliver real financial utility every single day. That is the only thing that builds long-term brand equity.”

Looking ahead, he says that if he were starting from scratch in 2026, he would approach certain aspects differently while holding firmly to some core principles. “I would prioritize building a personal brand and community-led distribution before the product launch. I would also integrate AI tools from day one to keep the operational core lean,” he explains. “What I would refuse to change is the boots-on-the-ground philosophy. Even in a digital world, you have to be close to your customer. Whether it was the boda-boda drivers in Uganda or my current digital community, the principle remains the same—you must intimately understand the person you are serving.”

While failure is often romanticized as a learning experience, Gauravv believes the true cost is far more personal. “Beyond the learning narrative, failure has a real cost: time,” he says. “I recall moments at Watu when an operational pivot didn’t go as planned, and the cost wasn’t just the capital—it was the missed time I couldn’t get back with my team or my family. When you lose time, you cannot iterate it back. That is the non-negotiable cost of entrepreneurship.”

His definition of success has also evolved significantly over the years. “When I started, success was about milestones—the size of the loan book or the market footprint,” he says. “Now, I define success as sovereignty. It is the ability to choose what I work on, who I work with, and having the bandwidth to be present for my son, Aekansh. Success is no longer just about the what; it’s about the quality of life while achieving it.”

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, Gauravv believes that human qualities will remain irreplaceable. “AI can analyze risk and optimize logistics—things we spent hours doing manually at Watu,” he notes. “But AI cannot empathize. It cannot bridge a trust gap with a customer who has never had access to a bank, and it cannot inspire a team during a crisis. The human role in business is to provide the why and the moral compass.”

He also warns founders against glorifying hustle culture at the expense of their well-being. “Hustle becomes an unhealthy obsession when you lose the ability to disconnect,” he says. “In the early days of Watu, the line between dedication and obsession was thin. If your entire self-worth is tied to your daily output, you’ve lost the plot. A healthy business needs a founder who is capable of sustaining their own health because if you burn out, the company follows.”

Speaking about India’s startup landscape, Gauravv sees both imitation and innovation at play, but believes the most meaningful breakthroughs are emerging from grassroots problem-solving. “India’s ecosystem is a mix, but we are currently seeing a heavy reliance on imitation of Western models,” he says. “The real breakthrough value, however, is being created by those innovating at the grassroots level. My experience in Africa taught me that the most disruptive innovations come from solving local constraints—something I see more and more founders beginning to grasp here in India.”

Addressing one of the most common myths surrounding entrepreneurship, he offers a reality check. “The biggest misconception is that entrepreneurship is about freedom,” Gauravv says. “In reality, it is the highest form of self-imposed accountability. You don’t escape the 9-to-5—you become the one responsible for everyone else’s 9-to-5. It is a transition from having a boss to being a servant to your mission, your team, and your customers.”

Burnout Is Becoming Normal. Modern Wellness Platforms Like Playoga Are Trying To Change That

Modern life has quietly normalized exhaustion.

Mumbai. People wake up tired. Work through emotional fatigue. Sit for long hours behind screens. Eat meals while replying to emails. Scroll endlessly before sleeping. And despite doing more than ever before, many still carry a persistent feeling of not doing enough.

The modern work culture has created a generation that remains constantly reachable — but increasingly disconnected from itself.

Burnout, once considered an occasional phase, is now becoming deeply embedded into everyday life. Across workplaces and homes, signs of chronic stress are becoming increasingly visible through poor sleep, mental fatigue, overstimulation, anxiety, rushed routines, and emotional exhaustion.

Many individuals continue functioning normally while internally running on empty.

Health experts and wellness professionals believe this growing emotional fatigue is driving a significant shift in how people now define wellness.

People today are no longer searching only for fitness aesthetics, flexibility goals, or performance-driven routines.

Instead, they are increasingly prioritizing emotional balance, peace of mind, mindful living, nervous system healing, softer mornings, and sustainable ways to manage stress.

As conversations around modern wellness evolve, platforms like Playoga are emerging to address this changing need.

Founded by Yoga Master and Wellness Scientist Bhavika Choradia, Playoga represents a new generation of Indian wellness initiatives attempting to redefine wellness beyond fitness trends, social media-driven self-care, and performative health routines.

According to Choradia, wellness should not become another source of pressure.

"People don’t need more pressure to optimize themselves. They need spaces that help them breathe again," she says.

That philosophy is increasingly resonating in a world experiencing rising levels of workplace stress and emotional fatigue.

Wellness Beyond Fitness

For years, yoga has often been commercially associated with flexibility, weight management, or visually appealing fitness routines.

However, traditional Indian wellness philosophies have historically focused on a much broader framework — integrating mind, body, breath, and emotional balance.

Modern lifestyles, however, have increasingly disrupted those connections.

People frequently multitask through meals, work despite exhaustion, and treat constant busyness as productivity.

Health professionals warn that the body often adapts silently to stress until symptoms eventually become difficult to ignore.

Playoga’s wellness philosophy aims to bridge this gap through approaches centered around mindful living, therapeutic yoga, breathwork practices, emotional wellness, stress management, nervous system regulation, and sustainable healing methods designed for contemporary lifestyles.

Industry experts believe wellness is no longer being viewed as luxury.

For many professionals today, it is becoming essential.

The Growing Importance Of Desk Wellness

One of the major focus areas gaining attention within corporate wellness conversations is desk wellness.

Modern professionals increasingly spend long hours sitting, working across screens, carrying physical tension, and remaining mentally engaged even after work ends.

The impact is becoming visible through posture concerns, fatigue, burnout symptoms, anxiety, stress-related health challenges, and emotional disconnection.

As workplace demands continue evolving, wellness experts argue that employee well-being can no longer remain a secondary conversation.

Playoga has been placing growing emphasis on workplace wellness through initiatives focused on desk wellness, posture correction, mindful productivity, emotional wellness practices, and sustainable work-life balance.

Industry observers suggest that future workplace productivity may increasingly depend not only on performance, but also on an individual’s ability to sustain emotional, physical, and mental well-being over time.

A Softer Approach To Wellness

What differentiates newer wellness ecosystems is a noticeable shift in tone.

Instead of emphasizing constant optimization and achievement, many emerging wellness brands are focusing on slowing down, breathing consciously, emotional healing, balance, and intentional living.

Playoga’s approach reflects this evolving mindset.

Rather than promoting perfection-driven wellness goals, it emphasizes reconnection — helping individuals rebuild healthier relationships with themselves.

Mental health awareness and emotional well-being are increasingly shaping consumer behavior, particularly among younger working populations navigating burnout and digital overload.

Experts suggest audiences are increasingly seeking wellness ecosystems that feel relatable rather than aspirational.

Small reminders — to breathe deeply, release tension, rest properly, and slow down — are becoming meaningful wellness interventions in themselves.

Because healing, wellness advocates suggest, often begins not with transformation, but with creating safe space to pause.

India’s Next Wellness Evolution

India introduced yoga to the world generations ago.

The next chapter of Indian wellness, however, may look different.

Experts believe future wellness ecosystems will become more emotionally intelligent, digitally accessible, lifestyle-focused, and aligned with modern mental health realities.

Platforms like Playoga are positioning themselves within this evolving landscape — not simply as yoga businesses, but as wellness ecosystems built around emotional well-being, workplace wellness, mindful living, nervous system healing, and everyday emotional balance.

Because perhaps wellness was never about becoming someone else.

Perhaps it was always about finding a way back to yourself.

Jaipur: In a vibrant celebration of creativity and confidence, India’s Little Fashion Hunters successfully concluded its much-anticipated Chapter 13, reinforcing its position as one of the country’s leading platforms for young fashion enthusiasts. The event brought together glamour, imagination, and the sparkling energy of children ready to step into the spotlight.

Organized under the visionary leadership of Anup Choudhary, who also served as Show Director, the show was presented by A. Infinity Takeovers and powered by Mumkins. Approximately 100 talented kid models, ranging from just two to 15 years of age, walked the ramp with remarkable poise and enthusiasm across seven grand sequences. Their performances reflected not only style but also the growing confidence that such platforms nurture from an early age.

The collections presented were a delightful mix of fun and tradition. Themes included the lively Party Wear Collection, the imaginative Mini World Theme, the playful UNO Game Theme Concept, and the elegant Traditional Wear Collection. These segments allowed the young participants to express themselves through diverse looks, from casual chic to cultural pride.

As India’s Little Fashion Hunters looks ahead, its growing legacy promises even more inspiring chapters to come, where every child gets the chance to shine.

You've probably heard both called powerful wealth stones. But here's the thing — they work in completely different ways. One builds your confidence to act. The other attracts opportunities toward you. Understanding that difference changes everything about which one you should actually buy.

Most guides just list benefits without helping you decide. This one's different. We'll walk through what each stone does, who they're best for, and whether you even need both.

Understanding the Core Difference

Tiger Eye and Pyrite both target the Solar Plexus chakra, but that's where the similarity ends.

Tiger Eye is a golden-brown quartz with a shimmering band that catches light from every angle. What makes it special isn't the look — it's the energy tradition behind it. People wear Tiger Eye when they need courage in the moment. Before a job interview. Before a difficult conversation. Before a business decision. It's the stone for someone who's already in the game but needs to play it better.

Pyrite — that "Fool's Gold" mineral with the metallic sheen — works on a different timeline. Where Tiger Eye says "trust yourself right now," Pyrite says "attract what you deserve." It's used in manifestation work, worn during financial planning, placed in business spaces. It's the stone for someone building something from the ground up.

The key difference: Tiger Eye activates what's already inside you. Pyrite magnetizes what's outside toward you.

The Durability Reality

Both stones sit at Mohs hardness 6.5, which means they're durable enough for daily wear but not indestructible. Here's what matters practically.

Tiger Eye holds up better long-term. The stone resists fading and maintains its shimmer for years. Wear it through showers, workdays, light activity — it holds. Pyrite? It oxidizes slowly in humid air. Not immediately, but if you live near the coast or in a wet climate, you'll notice the luster dulling over a year or two.

Both bracelets use an elastic cord that eventually weakens. A quality bracelet lasts 2-3 years before the string gives out. This is true regardless of price point. The stone outlives the string every time.

For care: Keep both out of pools and saltwater. Cleaning with a soft cloth and warm water works for both. Store them dry. That's really it.

When to Choose Tiger Eye

Pick Tiger Eye if you're in a decision-making role. Managers, entrepreneurs, anyone who needs to lead others benefits from its clarity. People in competitive environments — sales, athletics, academics — report that Tiger Eye's confidence effect shows up fast.

You'd also choose Tiger Eye if you're dealing with self-doubt. Not everyone does, but plenty of people benefit from a daily reminder on their wrist that says "I can handle this."

Same applies if you're starting something new. New job, new business, new relationship. That's when Tiger Eye's courage energy feels most useful.

Real talk: If you live in a humid or coastal climate, Tiger Eye is the practical choice. It won't tarnish. That matters if you're buying something to wear regularly.

A quality Tiger Eye bracelet costs between ₹1,200 and ₹2,500. That's for genuine 8mm beads with good banding. Anything cheaper than ₹800 is probably low quality or fake. Anything over ₹5,000 is premium artisan work.

When to Choose Pyrite

Pyrite makes sense when you're in wealth-building mode. Side business launching. Career transition coming. Financial recovery happening. Pyrite sits with you through that process.

It's also the stone for negotiation and deal-making. Salespeople, business owners, anyone cutting contracts. The tradition around Pyrite suggests it strengthens your position in these moments.

You'd pick Pyrite if you feel stuck or stagnant. That might sound abstract, but the ritual of wearing Pyrite while you actually work on your goals often shifts something. Manifestation practices aren't passive — they're about combining intention with action.

Aesthetically, Pyrite's metallic gold look appeals to people who want something that catches light. It's striking on the wrist.

Cost is similar: ₹1,000 to ₹3,000 for genuine quality. Check for visible cubic structure in the stone. That's how you spot the real deal.

Real vs. Fake: How to Tell

This matters because you'll find cheap fakes everywhere.

Fake Tiger Eye looks uniform. Real Tiger Eye has that chatoyant shimmer — light bounces differently depending on the angle. If the banding looks perfect and flat, it's not genuine.

Fake Pyrite is usually just painted brass. Real Pyrite is heavy, dense, and cool to the touch. It has weight to it. If it feels hollow or too light, skip it.

Both real stones have natural imperfections. A crack here, slightly uneven color there. Uniform perfection means synthetic.

Buy from sellers who tell you where the stones come from. South Africa for Tiger Eye, Peru or Brazil for Pyrite. Sellers who can't answer that question probably don't know what they're selling.

Price sanity check: If a Tiger Eye bracelet costs under ₹600, quality is questionable. Genuine 8mm bracelets start around ₹1,000. Pyrite similar range: ₹800+ for authentic quality.

Should You Wear Both?

This is where it gets interesting. Tiger Eye + Pyrite together create a complete strategy. One builds your inner confidence. The other attracts opportunities. That's a powerful combination.

The wearing method matters if you care about traditional practices: Pyrite on your right wrist (the projective hand, where you send energy out), Tiger Eye on your left (the receptive hand, where you draw energy in). This balances action with insight.

Cost for both bracelets together runs ₹2,000 to ₹5,500 depending on quality. That's cheaper than buying one premium piece, and it covers more ground spiritually.

Most people who own both report that wearing them together shifts something. More opportunities show up. Better decisions get made. It might be placebo. Or it might be that the reminder system works better when you've activated both your confidence and your magnetism.

The Final Decision

Pick Tiger Eye if you need to trust yourself more. It's a daily confidence reminder. Pick Pyrite if you're in a growth phase and need the mindset shift to manifest abundance.

Buy both if you're serious about the practice. The combination addresses the full wealth-building cycle.

Start with whichever one speaks to you visually. That matters more than people admit. If you're drawn to Tiger Eye's warmth, that's the one to begin with. If Pyrite's metallic shimmer calls to you, go that direction.

When you're ready to invest in quality stones, explore Keeta luxury's Pyrite bracelet collection for certified, ethically-sourced minerals with clear sourcing documentation. Each piece is verified for authenticity and includes care guidance you'll actually use.

For Tiger Eye specifically, Keeta luxury's selection  focuses on genuine South African stones with strong banding and lasting durability. The difference between low-quality and good-quality Tiger Eye shows up after a few months of wearing — the real stuff maintains its shimmer.

Either way, the real magic happens when you wear the bracelet intentionally. Set your goal when you put it on. Let it remind you throughout the day. That's where the transformation begins.

The three-hour session blended sound healing, energy work, meditation, and spiritual practices, creating what attendees described as a calming and transformative experience. Participants were guided through techniques aimed at emotional release, inner alignment, and spiritual awakening.

Speaking about the successful event, Pooja Seth shared, “The energy in the room was truly beautiful. Every time we come together for a healing session, there is a collective shift that happens emotionally and spiritually. The response in Mumbai has been overwhelming.”

She further added, “People today are carrying stress, emotional baggage, and generational patterns they often don’t even recognize. The Lineage Awakening is designed to help individuals reconnect with themselves and experience healing through the power of sound and energy.”

The event witnessed the presence of several well-known personalities from the television industry, including Sudha Chandran, who attended the session for the second time, and Maninee De, who marked her third visit to Pooja Seth’s healing circle. Entrepreneur Gauravv Saxena, along with actors Rukhsar Rehman, Surbhi Tiwari, Ekta Sharma, Mitaali Nag, Shivani Gosain, Chaitali Kohli, and Neelu Kohli, were also in attendance.

Along with sound therapy, attendees also had access to optional tarot guidance and spiritual consultations, adding a personalized dimension to the experience.

With growing interest in holistic wellness and mindful healing practices, The Lineage Awakening once again highlighted the increasing popularity of sound healing experiences among both celebrities and urban audiences in Mumbai.

She said, "I had enough media experience, so I thought of starting on my own, and content creation and anchoring were a natural progression."
After completing her studies, her professional career started in 2006 with Sahara Samay News in Noida. In 2009, she joined Zee News and later moved to Zee Business in 2011. Until 2014 she had worked on political coverage, business journalism, hard news, and television debates at Zee Network. In 2014, she joined ABP News, where she worked on major political stories, national issues, and in-depth explainers till 2019. Later the same year, she became a part of Republic Media Network, where she continued anchoring and reporting till 2022. She then moved to TV9 Bharatvarsh, where she worked across television and digital platforms. After completing nearly 20 years in mainstream television journalism, in March 2026, she moved to the independent digital space and started her own platform. 

On her platform, she focuses on podcasts, meaningful conversations, and news explainers to create content around politics, society, media narratives, and current affairs. Her aim is to keep conversations simple, meaningful, and connected with the audience. Her independent platform reflects the breadth of her interests. She said, "Besides podcasts, I do daily content on newsy topics and trending news, and motivational speaking is also my USP. For my show I am interviewing a variety of celebrities, from actors and politicians to spiritual gurus."

Her goal is to build a space that brings together voices from different walks of life and offers a wide range of content to her audience. "I want to have people from all walks of life in my show and give a wide variety of content to my audience. I am based in Delhi but  keep traveling to Mumbai as per the requirement,” Nidhi ended.

Audi No. 3 of PVR LIDO Cinema was packed with people from the film fraternity. The auditorium was completely full, with some guests even standing to witness the event. Happiness and enthusiasm could be seen on every face.

Festival Director Parag Chahpeker warmly welcomed all the guests and thanked them for their trust and support towards CineDreams International Film Festival. He then invited the Founder and Organiser of the festival, Ayub Khan, to address the audience.

Mr. Ayub Khan appeared emotional yet extremely happy while speaking to the audience. He thanked all the guests and participants for believing in the festival and submitting their films. He said,“You all have trusted CineDreams International Film Festival by submitting your films and supporting us. I will never allow this trust to break. This festival cannot be organized by me alone. If I am standing here today, it is because of my entire team, my Board Members, and Jury Members, many of whom are renowned personalities from Bollywood. Their experience and support are beyond words. Still, if we have made any mistakes or shortcomings, I sincerely apologize. And now, with your permission, let us begin this Award Function.”

The audience responded with loud applause, and the Award Ceremony officially began. Anchor Shwetta Padda and the festival’s Creative Director Saikat Das jointly hosted the evening and started announcing the award winners one by one.

The grand event was attended by several well-known personalities from Bollywood and the entertainment industry including Mr. Herachand Dand of Madhu Entertainment, Rais Ahmad (CMD of RASSAZ Groups), Director Anil Dubey, actor Aashit Chatterjee, Director Rajeev Choudhary, and CineDreams Festival Director Parag Chhapekar.

The event saw the presence of several celebrities including Sakshi Pradhan, Parleen Gill, Himanshu Malhotra, Mohit Malhotra, Chaitali Kohli, Heital Puniwala, Pallavi Purohit, Ssujata Mehta, Rinhee Subberwal, Sujoy Mukherjee and Rohit Bose Roy.

Anup Jalota received award for best actor for Bharat Desh Hai Mera which was received by director Adarsh Jain and Rohit Roy received  award for short film Hunar directed by Sujoy Mukherjee. Rajesh Ranshinage received the award on behalf of actress wife Indira Krishnan.

During the ceremony, the award distribution was paused briefly as Mr. Ayub Khan was once again invited onto the stage. He surprised everyone by announcing a new international festival by his company called Cine Bengal International Film Festival, which will be held on 25th and 26th November in Kolkata at PVR Cinema.

He further mentioned that just as his company had successfully organized Lucknow International Film Festival on 14th and 15th April at Saharaganj PVR Cinema, this would become the company’s third major festival. He invited filmmakers and artists to submit their Feature Films, Short Films, Documentary Films, OTT Films, Music Albums, Ad Films, and Independent Singing Videos for the upcoming festival.

The Award Function continued successfully with great enthusiasm. Winners happily received their trophies and honors. After the event concluded, many participants and celebrities interacted with the media and congratulated Ayub Khan, the founder and organizer and his entire team for organizing such a successful and memorable event.

Leading Experts to Deliberate on Preventive GI Oncology, with Scientific Sessions Focusing on Advanced Technology and Early Detection

Jaipur: With the objective of promoting prevention, early detection, and advanced treatment approaches for abdominal cancers, the Abdominal Cancer Trust, in collaboration with Fortis Hospital and the Indian Institute of Event Management (IIEMR), will organise ‘Abdominal Cancer Day 2026’ on May 19, 2026, in Jaipur. The event will be observed simultaneously across several cities around the world, aiming to spread global awareness about abdominal cancers.

The programme will be held at Hotel Holiday Inn, C-Scheme, Jaipur, and will witness participation from some of the country’s leading gastroenterologists, oncologists, and medical experts. The official poster of the event was launched by Medical and Health Minister of Rajasthan Shri Gajendra Singh Khimsar and Water Resources Minister of Rajasthan Shri Suresh Rawat.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sundeep Jain, Founder of the Abdominal Cancer Trust and Abdominal Cancer Day, said: “A large number of abdominal cancer cases can be prevented through timely screening and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. Through ‘Abdominal Cancer Day’, our endeavour is not only to encourage knowledge exchange among medical experts, but also to raise awareness among the general public that early detection remains the most effective key to prevention.”

The central theme of the programme is “Preventive GI Oncology”, under which extensive discussions will be held on the prevention, screening, and early diagnosis of various abdominal cancers, including colon, gastric, liver, pancreatic, and gallbladder cancers.

The scientific sessions during the event will cover several critical topics such as early screening for colorectal cancer through colonoscopy, prevention strategies for gallbladder cancer, prevention of alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and the role of AI-based endoscopy in early cancer detection.

Along with Dr. Sundeep Jain and Dr SS Sharma, several senior oncology experts will share their insights during the event, while the scientific sessions and panel discussions will be moderated by experienced medical professionals from across the country.

Abdominal Cancer Day 2026 will not only serve as a platform for knowledge sharing among medical experts, but will also emerge as an important initiative in strengthening cancer prevention awareness and encouraging proactive healthcare practices within society.

Mumbai, Maharashtra [India], May 06: In a significant boost to India’s digital ecosystem, Identityy — the rapidly expanding social media platform developed by Treefe Technology — has successfully onboarded more than 100 digital marketing agencies nationwide. This strategic partnership marks a key milestone for the homegrown app, coming soon after it crossed one million users and positioning it as a formidable player among emerging Made in India social media platforms.

The move underscores Identityy’s evolution from a user-focused social network into a comprehensive digital growth ecosystem that supports businesses, creators, and marketing professionals alike. By partnering with established agencies, the platform aims to accelerate adoption, drive meaningful engagement, and create scalable opportunities within the Indian startup landscape.

Strategic Partnership Expansion

The onboarding of over 100 digital marketing agencies represents more than a numbers game — it reflects a deliberate strategy to build a robust network that benefits every stakeholder. This initiative aligns with the growing preference for Indian social media apps as businesses seek reliable, locally attuned alternatives to global platforms.

Key highlights of this development include:

• Onboarding of 100+ digital marketing agencies across India
• Rapid expansion within the Indian startup ecosystem
• Strong focus on business growth and the creator economy
• Reinforcement of “Made in India” digital platforms

Through these partnerships, Identityy seeks to empower businesses with effective social media marketing strategies in India while giving agencies early access to a fast-growing user base. The platform also opens new collaboration avenues for creators, helping them secure stronger brand partnerships and contribute more actively to India’s thriving creator economy.

Founder’s Vision and Statement

Kapil Agarwal, Founder and CEO of Identityy by Treefe Technology, shared his perspective on the milestone: “Our vision at Identityy, a Treefe Technology product, is to build a platform that empowers businesses, creators, and agencies together. Onboarding 100+ digital marketing agencies is a major step toward creating a strong ecosystem. As the demand for Indian social media platforms grows, we aim to provide scalable opportunities for partners to grow along with us.”

This statement captures the platform’s core philosophy — collaborative growth rather than isolated success. By integrating agencies into its ecosystem, Identityy is creating a virtuous cycle where businesses gain professional support, agencies discover new revenue streams, and creators find enhanced visibility.

Benefits Across the Ecosystem

For digital marketing agencies, the partnership offers access to a growing social media platform in India, fresh client acquisition opportunities, and an early-mover advantage in an emerging ecosystem.

Businesses partnering through these agencies stand to benefit from tailored social media marketing strategies, verified professional support, and improved reach and engagement on a culturally relevant platform.

Creators, meanwhile, gain more collaboration opportunities, stronger brand partnerships, and greater potential within India’s expanding creator economy.

Identityy’s Growth Trajectory

The agency onboarding comes at a pivotal moment for Identityy. Having already surpassed one million users, the platform is riding multiple positive trends in the Indian digital space: increasing adoption of Made in India apps, rising demand for localized social experiences, and continued expansion of the digital marketing industry.

Treefe Technology, the company behind Identityy, has built the platform with a clear “Made in India, for the world” vision. Its focus on innovation, user experience, and scalability reflects the maturity of India’s tech startup scene and its ambition to compete on the global stage.

Looking ahead, Identityy plans to expand its agency network to 500+ partners, introduce advanced tools for marketers and businesses, deepen its presence in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, and establish itself as a leading social media startup from India with global aspirations.

Broader Industry Implications

This development highlights a larger shift in how Indian startups are scaling — moving beyond standalone user growth toward ecosystem-led expansion. Partnerships with digital agencies are proving more effective than isolated models, turning platforms into complete business environments rather than mere social networks.

As India’s digital economy continues to mature, initiatives like Identityy’s agency program demonstrate how homegrown platforms can create shared value for businesses, marketers, creators, and users alike. The platform’s progress signals promising momentum for the next generation of Indian social media and technology startups.

The grand reveal, held recently witnessed an electrifying response from audiences, in the presence of prominent personalities from the worlds of cinema and politics. The event marked not just a launch, but the ignition of a cinematic movement.

MANIKANDAN: THE LAST AVATAR stands as a bold, visionary leap into the future of storytelling — where mythology, emotion, and artificial intelligence converge at an unprecedented scale.

Set in a world governed by logic, where human emotion is deemed inefficient and faith has faded into silence, the film introduces Manikandan — a man shaped in stillness, alongside seven warriors raised within the disciplined shadows of a gurukul under the enigmatic Guru. As systems tighten their grip on humanity, he rises not as a savior, but as an anomaly — something no machine can decode.

Rooted in Indian philosophy and echoing a truth that stretches back 5000 years, the film confronts a haunting and deeply relevant question of life.

More than a film, it is an immersive cinematic experience exploring identity, consciousness, love, and the cost of progress — asking
Is humanity evolving… or quietly being rewritten?

What sets the project apart is its pioneering integration of Artificial Intelligence across the filmmaking process — from scripting and visual creation to post-production — while preserving a deeply human emotional core. The result is a seamless fusion of soul and system.

The film delivers high-intensity action inspired by ancient Indian martial philosophies, paired with a powerful soundscape that blends meditative depth with futuristic intensity — creating a cinematic language that is both rooted and universal.

Ajinkya Jadhav, of Papparazzi Entertainment Company, stated “The response to the first look has been overwhelming. This is just the beginning of something far bigger.”
With the first look now unveiled and momentum building, MANIKANDAN: THE LAST AVATAR is set to take center stage globally. Worldwide Theatrical Release: May 29, 2026
Releasing in five languages, the film aims to transcend borders, delivering a cinematic experience driven by emotion, scale, and innovation. In a world run by logic… one man is beyond calculation.

Written by Kunal Verma and composed by Devv Sadaana, the track blends emotional depth with a contemporary groove. It captures the silent pain of one-sided love while maintaining a catchy rhythm that appeals to younger audiences.

Speaking about the release, Krish said, “We are overwhelmed with the response the song is receiving. ‘Tumne Dil Diya Nahi’ is very close to us emotionally, and it’s great to see listeners connecting with it so quickly.”

Kishore Mondal added, “The love pouring in from audiences means everything. We wanted to create a song that people can feel and relate to, and the initial reactions have been बेहद encouraging.”

Sharing his thoughts, Durgaram Choudhary, Founder of RDC Media, said, “At RDC Media, we believe in backing music that connects instantly with audiences. ‘Tumne Dil Diya Nahi’ has that emotional core and youth appeal which defines today’s music landscape. After the success of our previous release, we are confident this track will resonate strongly across platforms and continue our journey of delivering impactful music.”

With its mix of heartfelt lyrics and modern sound, Tumne Dil Diya Nahi is expected to trend across streaming platforms and social media, further strengthening Krish & Kishore Mondal’s position as consistent hitmakers in the independent music space.

Each ensemble narrated a distinct story, reinterpreting India’s traditional weaves through contemporary silhouettes inspired by global cultures. The collection created a powerful dialogue between heritage and modern design, demonstrating the versatility, relevance and global appeal of Indian handlooms.

Through its association with the Femina Miss India pageant, “Vishwa Sutra” brought India’s handloom legacy to a wide and aspirational audience, positioning Indian handlooms within the global fashion conversation.

By presenting handwoven textiles on a high-visibility platform, the initiative celebrated the artistry of India’s weavers while reinforcing the importance of preserving and promoting the country’s rich craft traditions in a modern context.

In a market where customers are often forced to choose between expensive labels and low-quality alternatives, Hashtag Eyewear aims to offer a balanced solution. From everyday essentials to thoughtfully designed Sunglasses for men & sunglasses for women, the focus remains on delivering products that combine durability, comfort, and modern design without making them overly expensive.

At the core of this approach is functionality. Eyewear is something people use daily, often for long hours, across different environments. Whether it’s bright sunlight, dusty roads, or long commutes, the product needs to perform reliably. This is why attention is given not just to how a frame looks, but also to how it feels and functions over time.

Another key element of the brand’s philosophy is simplicity. Instead of chasing overly complex designs, Hashtag Eyewear focuses on creating clean, versatile styles. These are frames that can adapt to different situations work, travel, or casual outings without feeling out of place. This approach makes the products more usable and relevant for a wider audience.

The Indian environment also plays an important role in shaping product decisions. Strong sunlight, varying weather conditions, and everyday usage patterns influence how eyewear is designed. By keeping these factors in mind, the brand ensures that its products are not just fashionable but also practical for real-world use.

At the same time, the brand stays connected to changing fashion preferences. While functionality is essential, style cannot be ignored. Hashtag Eyewear works to strike a balance where designs feel current without becoming short-lived trends. This allows customers to invest in products that remain relevant over time.

Affordability is another important part of the philosophy. The goal is to make quality eyewear available to more people, without compromising on the experience. By focusing on value, the brand ensures that customers don’t have to sacrifice quality for price or vice versa.

Equally important is the role of customer feedback. The brand continuously learns from how people use its products, what they prefer, and what can be improved. This ongoing process helps refine designs and keeps the offerings aligned with real customer needs.

In the end, the philosophy behind Hashtag Eyewear’s product approach is about balance—between style and function, quality and affordability, and trends and timelessness. It’s this balanced thinking that allows the brand to create eyewear that not only looks good but also fits naturally into the lives of its customers.

The exhibition, hosted in the Exhibition Hall at Hawa Mahal, featured more than 40 meticulously crafted pebble artworks. From morning 10 AM to evening 6 PM, visitors streamed in to witness how the artist had breathed life into these humble stones using colours and delicate brushwork. What struck everyone was the remarkable realism and emotional depth — many found it hard to believe at first glance that the pieces were created entirely from pebbles.

Rajkumar Gupta, a legal professional by training, has pursued pebble art as a passionate medium of expression for several years. According to him, every stone carries within it an unspoken story and feeling; the artist’s role is simply to recognise and reveal it. This philosophy shone brightly through the displayed works.

The exhibition beautifully captured universal human emotions. One of the most touching pieces portrayed the tender bond between a mother and child, with the innocent face of the baby resting in the mother’s lap. Viewers often paused emotionally before this artwork, their faces reflecting both warmth and a hint of nostalgia. Another standout creation depicted the expression of love, evoking memories of timeless romantic tales. A third piece explored the thoughtful introspection of a young mind navigating life’s complexities.

What made the artworks truly special was the extraordinary level of detail. The stones were painted and arranged with such finesse that they appeared almost three-dimensional, drawing visitors into a quiet, reflective experience. Many attendees stood mesmerised for long moments, absorbing the feelings conveyed through these unlikely canvases.

The show also highlighted Rajkumar Gupta’s growing recognition in the art world. Just weeks earlier, in March 2026, his works had received widespread appreciation at an international art exhibition in Noida. Bringing the same artistic excellence to Jaipur’s iconic Hawa Mahal added a special charm, blending the grandeur of heritage architecture with the simplicity and beauty of pebble art.

Local art enthusiasts, families, and tourists who visited described the exhibition as refreshing and deeply moving. Several remarked that the display changed their perspective, making them realise that even the most ordinary objects can hold extraordinary beauty when seen through an artist’s sensitive eye. “It felt as if the stones were actually speaking,” one visitor shared.

The two-day pebble art exhibition successfully concluded at Hawa Mahal, leaving behind fond memories and renewed appreciation for this unique art form. For those who missed it, the show served as a gentle reminder that art has no boundaries — it can emerge from the simplest materials and touch the deepest corners of the heart.

Rajkumar Gupta’s effort proved once again that creativity lies not in expensive tools or rare mediums, but in vision, patience, and emotional connect. By giving voice to silent stones, he invited everyone to look closer at the world around us and discover hidden stories waiting to be told.

The exhibition may have ended, but the impressions it created will continue to resonate with those who experienced it. In a fast-paced world, such artistic pauses that celebrate simplicity and emotion remain truly valuable.

Produced under the banner of Sonam Tele Films, Antas 2 is the sequel to the successful first installment. The premiere screening turned into a memorable celebration of cinema, with prominent guests from the film industry and Rajasthan’s social circles in attendance. The hall was filled with excitement as viewers reacted positively to the on-screen chemistry and emotional storytelling.

Director Surendra Swami, Producer Suresh Kumar, lead actress Shreya Khanna, actor Alok Bhardwaj, writer Mahesh Runiwal, along with Hinodun MLA Anita Jatav, ACP Amjad Khan, and noted Rajasthani actors including Raj Jangid, Shravan Sagar, RK Sara, Rajveer Gurjar Bassi, Charan Singh Pathik, Radheshyam Piplawa, and Ganesh Maharaj graced the event.

For director Surendra Swami, this marks his first major cinematic venture. Speaking at the premiere, he expressed deep emotion: “The premiere of Antas 2 at Raj Mandir in Jaipur feels like a dream come true. Seeing the love and appreciation from Rajasthani stars and the audience has left me overwhelmed. This film will touch every heart. Our love story, shot on the streets of Jaipur, is ready to captivate viewers.”

The story of Antas 2 unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of Rajasthan — the bustling streets of Jaipur, the serene lakes of Rajsamand, and the picturesque waters of Udaipur. It narrates a simple yet touching tale of love. Shreya Khanna plays a young woman who arrives in Jaipur in search of her beloved and crosses paths with a humble taxi driver, portrayed by Alok Bhardwaj. Impressed by his simplicity and sincerity, she gradually falls in love with him.

Audiences at the premiere particularly appreciated the natural chemistry between Shreya Khanna and Alok Bhardwaj. Building on the success of the original Antas, this sequel promises to deliver the same emotional connect with fresh charm.

Shreya Khanna shared her thoughts after the screening: “The energy at the Jaipur premiere was incredible. Meeting Rajasthani stars was truly an honour. The audience loved my character and the chemistry with Alok. Shooting in Jaipur taught me the real meaning of simplicity. Antas 2 is a milestone in my career.”

Alok Bhardwaj, who essayed the role of the ordinary taxi driver, said: “Portraying the simplicity of a common man was challenging, but it became a memorable experience under Surendra Sir’s guidance. Hearing appreciation from Rajasthani artists at Raj Mandir brought me immense joy. This is a story of an everyday person that will resonate with every heart.”

Producer Suresh Kumar reflected on the successful evening: “We are proud that Antas 2 received such wonderful support from Rajasthan’s cinema veterans. After the success of Antas, creating this sequel has been a matter of great pride for the team. We left no stone unturned in maintaining quality. The love of the audience remains our ultimate goal.”

Writer Mahesh Runiwal described the film as a beautiful fusion of Bollywood storytelling and Rajasthan’s rich cultural essence. He highlighted how the authentic locations played a vital role in bringing the narrative to life.

Guests at the premiere praised Surendra Swami’s clear vision and the natural performances delivered by the lead pair. Many noted that the film successfully captures the warmth and innocence of a pure love story.

Following the grand response at the Jaipur premiere, the team expressed confidence in the film’s wider appeal. Producer Suresh Kumar also reiterated the commitment to continue filmmaking in Rajasthan and to encourage local talent in the future.

The enthusiastic reception at Raj Mandir Cinema has set a positive tone ahead of Antas 2’s theatrical release. With its roots firmly in Rajasthan’s soil and culture, the film is poised to offer audiences a refreshing and emotionally engaging cinematic experience.

As the lights dimmed and the credits rolled, the sustained applause reflected the audience’s genuine appreciation for this simple, heartfelt tale of love. Antas 2 is now ready to win hearts across theatres nationwide.

As KTCC continues its commitment to empowering the business community, the Karnataka Business Awards 2026 stands as a celebration of innovation, resilience, and entrepreneurial excellence—honoring those shaping the future of Karnataka’s economy.

The first poster of the upcoming Hindi film Children of God has been unveiled, marking a significant new chapter for Aushim Khetarpal—widely known for his work on Sai Baba–based films and television content. With this project, Khetarpal shifts from spiritual storytelling to a hard-hitting social narrative, bringing focus to themes of identity, rejection, and acceptance within the LGBTQIA+ community.

The film has been made under the guidance of Aushim Khetarpal—an actor and spiritual influencer known for backing socially relevant cinema. He has also been associated with projects based on Sai Baba, reflecting his inclination towards meaningful and inspirational storytelling.

Speaking about the film, Khetarpal said, “Children of God is not just a film—it represents countless unheard voices. It highlights that identity is not defined by society but discovered within. Accepting oneself is the greatest act of courage.”

Directed by Ashish Saxena, the film tells the story of Amit, a young man who faces rejection from his family and society due to his identity. In search of survival and anonymity, he moves to Bhopal, where he finds acceptance within a transgender community and begins to embrace his true self as Amita. However, just as life begins to offer hope, a betrayal threatens to disrupt his journey, until a chance encounter with a mentor helps him rediscover inner strength and self-worth.

The screenplay and dialogues are penned by Rajan Lyallpuri, while the music has been composed by Raja Ali, Rupesh Mishra, and Akshay Raju Saxena. The film features Aushim Khetarpal along with Akash Verma, who plays the dual role of Amit/Amita, and Raadhika Khetarpal in the lead. The supporting cast includes Sarthak Kapoor, Prince Rajeev, NK Singh, Bhavya Singh, Raj Chaudhary, Ranesha Agarwal, Abhishek Sinha, Shobhna Khatri, and Annu Sharma.

Positioned as a social drama with elements of inspiration and coming-of-age storytelling, Children of God aims to highlight issues of identity, dignity, and human rights through an emotionally engaging narrative.

Sunil Sharma, appreciated for his role as Shaukat in the film series, took to social media to convey his emotions. He posted a picture with director Aditya Dhar and described the experience of working on Dhurandhar as “a true blessing.”

In his message, Sunil drew a touching parallel from Indian mythology to explain his feelings. He recalled the story from the Ramayana where Lord Ram was building the Ram Setu to reach Lanka. While the mighty vanar sena carried heavy stones, a tiny squirrel contributed by rolling small pebbles and placing them on the bridge. When Lord Ram noticed the squirrel’s efforts and asked why it was working so hard despite its small contribution, the squirrel humbly replied that if even the smallest part of the bridge carried its effort, it would consider itself truly blessed.

Sunil Sharma wrote, “Being a part of a grand cinematic offering like Dhurandhar feels like a true blessing to me. If even a small contribution in my name has gone into this great creative yajna, I consider myself extremely fortunate.”

He further added, “In the same way, if I have even the slightest contribution in a grand project like Dhurandhar, I feel incredibly grateful and privileged.”

The actor’s humble and sincere words have resonated widely with fans and industry circles, highlighting the sense of fulfilment that comes from being associated with a large-scale, impactful film.

The Dhurandhar duology revolves around the story of Jaskirat Singh Rangi, a convicted criminal who transforms into an Indian agent and travels to Pakistan under the identity of Hamza Ali Mazari to infiltrate the core of terrorism. The latest chapter, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has been a massive commercial success, having grossed over Rs. 1,700 crore worldwide so far.

Aditya Dhar, the director known for his powerful storytelling and large-scale vision, has received widespread acclaim for both parts of the duology. Sunil Sharma’s message underscores the collaborative spirit and emotional investment that goes into creating such epic cinematic experiences.

For Sunil Sharma, playing Shaukat in this high-stakes narrative appears to have been more than just another role — it has become a deeply meaningful chapter in his career. His analogy of the squirrel reflects a beautiful sense of humility and gratitude, reminding everyone that every contribution, no matter how small it may seem in the larger picture, holds its own value in the making of something grand.

As Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to draw audiences to theatres, moments like Sunil Sharma’s heartfelt note add a warm, human touch to the blockbuster’s success story. They remind us that behind the massive box-office numbers and grand visuals lie the sincere efforts and emotions of the cast and crew who pour their hearts into these projects.

The actor’s message has not only strengthened his bond with the film’s team in the eyes of the public but has also offered a refreshing perspective on teamwork and dedication in the film industry. In an era where success is often measured purely in numbers, Sunil Sharma’s words serve as a gentle reminder of the joy and privilege that comes from being part of meaningful creative endeavours.

He has been associated with more than 50 television serials and several popular music videos, earning recognition for his skills in casting and production. As the producer of the film “The Last Envelope,” he further demonstrated his ability to manage large-scale creative projects with excellence and a keen eye for detail.

However, rather than limiting himself to one domain, Rahul Gaur chose to venture into the tourism sector — a move that has turned out to be a defining chapter in his professional journey. His work in Uttar Pradesh tourism has been characterized by fresh perspectives and innovative presentation, breathing new energy into how the state’s rich heritage and destinations are being showcased.

The same skills he honed while crafting compelling narratives for television and films are now being applied to tell the story of Uttar Pradesh in a visually striking and emotionally connective manner. This seamless fusion of creativity and strategic thinking has added new dimensions to the state’s tourism initiatives.

Today, Rahul Gaur’s influence is no longer confined to Uttar Pradesh. He is actively preparing to expand his innovative tourism projects across multiple states in India. His vision includes stronger branding, enhanced global outreach, and the introduction of fresh ideas that can elevate the entire tourism ecosystem.

This journey from entertainment to tourism serves as an inspiring example of how domain expertise and forward-thinking can create success in diverse fields. Rahul Gaur has shown that with passion, adaptability, and a clear vision, professionals can reinvent themselves and contribute meaningfully to new sectors.

As Uttar Pradesh continues to focus on boosting its tourism potential, contributions like those of Rahul Gaur are helping the state stand out with a modern yet culturally rooted identity. His efforts are expected to play a key role in attracting more visitors and creating memorable experiences that go beyond traditional sightseeing.

Looking ahead, Rahul Gaur’s expansion plans signal a promising phase not just for his own career but also for the broader Indian tourism landscape. By bringing the storytelling finesse of entertainment into tourism promotion, he is setting a new benchmark for creative excellence in the sector.

His story underscores an important message: true innovation lies in the courage to explore uncharted territories while carrying forward the lessons and skills gained from previous experiences. In doing so, Rahul Gaur is not only building a new identity for himself but also helping shape a brighter, more vibrant future for tourism in Uttar Pradesh and beyond.

According to industry observers and early reactions shared online, Kashika Kapoor appears set to present a completely fresh and impactful on-screen persona in the film. Even before the official teaser dropped, a short preview clip featuring the actress triggered widespread discussion on social media platforms. Fans and cinephiles alike have been quick to praise her striking screen presence and the evident transformation she brings to the role.

This growing buzz is noteworthy because it reflects not just curiosity about the project, but also the increasing popularity Kashika Kapoor has been enjoying in recent times. Her expressive acting style and visible commitment to every character have earned her a dedicated following. With “Caste,” she seems ready to push her boundaries further, stepping into what many believe could be one of the most defining roles of her career so far.

The film’s title itself suggests a bold thematic exploration, and early indications point towards a narrative that demands depth and intensity — qualities that Kashika Kapoor has consistently demonstrated in her previous work. While complete details about the plot and her exact character remain under wraps, the initial teaser glimpse has been enough to convince many that she is delivering something markedly different from her earlier portrayals.

Social media timelines have been filled with appreciative comments highlighting her powerful presence and the confidence she exudes in the brief footage. Several industry insiders have also taken note of the positive momentum building around the project, indicating that “Caste” could mark a significant milestone for the young actress.

Kashika Kapoor’s journey in the film industry has been marked by steady growth and a willingness to take on challenging parts. Her dedication to her craft has often been highlighted by co-stars and directors who have worked with her. As anticipation for “Caste” continues to rise, it is clear that audiences are eager to see how she translates this dedication into what promises to be a compelling performance.

With all eyes now fixed on the official teaser trailer and eventual release, “Caste” is shaping up to be more than just another film — it could very well become a turning point that solidifies Kashika Kapoor’s place among the promising talents of her generation.

The project has already succeeded in creating pre-release curiosity through minimal but effective visual cues. This organic word-of-mouth and digital excitement speak volumes about the actress’s growing influence and the strong connect she shares with her audience.

As the film industry continues to evolve with newer stories and bolder performances, Kashika Kapoor’s upcoming role in “Caste” stands as a promising example of an artist embracing change and challenging herself. While the full impact will only be known once the film releases, the early signs are undeniably encouraging for both the actress and her fans.

Produced by Sargun Mehta and Ravie Dubey under Dreamiyata Entertainment, the series has kept viewers hooked with its steady stream of surprising twists and turns. Far from feeling overwhelmed, Ridhima says these narrative shifts actually bring a refreshing wave of creative energy to her work.

“These twists bring a fresh surge of energy. They keep me alert because the emotional graph can change instantly. It pushes me to stay present and respond truthfully,” she shared warmly.

The actor acknowledged that while the twists make her character more layered and interesting, they also raise the bar for her preparation. “It’s a mix of both. There’s always something new to explore, but it also becomes more demanding as I have to quickly adapt to different emotional layers,” she explained with refreshing honesty.

When scenes suddenly change direction, Ridhima’s priority remains delivering reactions that feel genuine and rooted in the moment. “Even if the situation is sudden, the reaction has to feel real. I concentrate on the emotions and motivations in that moment,” she said, highlighting her focused approach to acting.

In the rapid rhythm of daily soaps, the ability to adapt quickly becomes crucial for maintaining the story’s natural flow. Ridhima stressed that flexibility is key to keeping performances believable even when the script takes sharp turns. “Things can change very quickly, so being adaptable is extremely important,” she noted.

Among all types of twists, the actress particularly enjoys emotional and dramatic ones that let her dive deeper into Preeti’s inner world. “They allow me to explore deeper layers of the character. Those moments are challenging but very satisfying,” she revealed, showing her passion for meaningful scenes.

Looking forward, Ridhima gave a small but exciting hint about the upcoming track. While keeping specific details under wraps, she promised viewers an intense, emotion-packed sequence filled with unexpected developments and strong dramatic moments that will keep everyone hooked.

Ridhima Rampal’s calm and enthusiastic attitude towards the demanding nature of television production speaks volumes about her professionalism and dedication. In an industry where storylines evolve at breakneck speed, her willingness to embrace every twist as an opportunity for growth reflects both her experience and love for the craft.

As Tu Juliet Jatt Di continues its engaging journey with its unique blend of drama, emotion, and cultural flavour, Ridhima’s grounded perspective adds authenticity and warmth to her on-screen presence.

Her journey in the show serves as a beautiful example of how actors can turn potential challenges into creative strengths. For Ridhima, every new twist does not create pressure — instead, it brings fresh energy, deeper understanding of her character, and the joy of delivering performances that truly connect with the audience.

In a notable Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, Makers Hive Innovations Pvt. Ltd., in collaboration with Global University Foundation and Applied Info Services India Pvt. Ltd. (AIS), organized a KalArm Bionic Hands Distribution Program on February 19, 2026, at the AIS office in Hyderabad.

As part of this initiative, AIS sponsored the donation of 10 KalArm bionic hands to deserving upper-limb amputees. This effort reflects AIS’s strong commitment to social impact, inclusivity, and community upliftment through technological innovation.

The KalArm bionic hand, developed by Makers Hive, is an advanced prosthetic solution designed to restore functionality and independence to individuals who have lost upper limbs.

The event was attended by prominent personalities, including actress and social activist Amala Akkineni as Chief Guest, along with actress and producer Niharika Konidela and actress Faria Abdullah as Guests of Honour. All emphasized the importance of empowering amputees through accessible and affordable technology.

KalArm is recognized as India’s first fully functional bionic hand, offered at approximately one-tenth the cost of comparable global devices, making it significantly more accessible.

The program featured live demonstrations showcasing the hand’s capabilities, along with heartfelt testimonials from beneficiaries who shared how the device is transforming their daily lives by restoring independence and confidence.

Beyond providing assistive devices, the initiative also focuses on long-term rehabilitation, including skill development and employment opportunities for amputees in collaboration with NGOs.

Makers Hive, AIS, and Global University Foundation reaffirmed their commitment to scaling such initiatives and leveraging technology to create meaningful and sustainable social impact for underserved communities.

Inspired by his father’s dedication to social service, Shiva strongly believes in contributing to others’ success. His mission is to create meaningful impact by helping individuals unlock their full potential and become job creators.

Shiva Mathivanan’s journey is a powerful reminder that failure is not the end—it’s the foundation for a greater purpose. Today, he stands as a guide for aspiring entrepreneurs, helping them take the right steps toward building a successful and fulfilling future.

Spearheaded by director Rohit Kumar, a world record holder for the 11:11 Music Video Album, the platform is designed for a generation that lives online and dreams without limits. His involvement brings a sharp focus on scale, transparency, and global storytelling, setting the tone for a show that aims to go far beyond entertainment.

Oceaniek’s biggest disruption lies in its accessibility. There are no physical auditions, no regional filters, and no complicated barriers to entry. A smartphone and talent are all it takes. Participants from any part of the world, aged 4 and above, can upload their performances and instantly become part of a competition that could change their lives.

What follows is a high-stakes, high-visibility journey. Over 90 days, digital auditions are expected to attract a diverse wave of performers across genres. The next 30 days shift the power to the audience, as online voting drives popularity, engagement, and fan-building in real time. The climax arrives with a grand finale in London or Mumbai, where the top 50 contestants will perform live on an international stage, turning digital fame into a global spectacle.

The stakes are significant. The prize structure includes ₹3,00,000 for the winner, ₹1,00,000 for the first runner-up, ₹75,000 for the second runner-up, and ₹50,000 each for the third and fourth positions. Combined with international OTT exposure, Oceaniek becomes more than just a contest—it becomes a gateway to recognition, influence, and potential stardom. For many, this could be the first real chance to break into the global entertainment circuit without industry connections.

As digital consumption continues to explode, audiences are no longer just viewers—they are participants, voters, and amplifiers. Oceaniek taps into this shift perfectly, blending reality storytelling with interactive engagement and worldwide reach. It reflects a new era where content is borderless and talent is instantly shareable.

“Oceaniek Stream Will Be On” is quickly turning into a viral catchphrase, symbolizing aspiration, opportunity, and a new kind of fame powered by technology. With a disruptive format and the strategic vision of Rohit Kumar, Oceaniek Global Super Star is not just entering the OTT space—it’s aiming to redefine it on a global scale.

• Tia Bajpai's latest venture, 'Love Mafia', is an international collaboration challenging traditional language constraints in filmmaking.
• The actress is actively preparing for an action-packed debut in Hollywood, marking a significant career shift.
• Her move reflects a growing trend of Indian talent making impactful strides on the global entertainment stage.

The concept behind 'Love Mafia' resonates deeply with Tia Bajpai's artistic vision of connecting with audiences worldwide.

More than 500 students and local influencers turned up for the inaugural event, filling the campus with excitement. The day featured lively beauty masterclasses, practical skincare workshops, open creator auditions, and direct interactions with Oriflame’s premium beauty and wellness products, all facilitated through the brand’s dedicated Beauty and Wellness Partner Truck.

This campaign stands out as India’s largest regional influencer initiative focused on the Northeast. After Shillong, the Yatra will move through Agartala, Aizawl, Dimapur, Kohima, Guwahati, Nagaon, Dibrugarh, Itanagar, Darjeeling, Siliguri, and Durgapur, before reaching its grand finale at the WhosNext Regional Influencer Awards in Kolkata on May 10, 2026.

Central to the entire journey is #WhosthatNEStar, an open talent platform inviting singers, dancers, comedians, spoken-word artists, and aspiring content creators to showcase their skills. Outstanding performers from each stop will be shortlisted, with the top talent earning a coveted spot to perform at the Kolkata finale, where more than 200 leading digital creators, brand partners, and media representatives are expected to converge.

Sanjay Kumar, Vice President – Marketing, Operations, Product & Partnerships at Oriflame, shared his thoughts on the campaign’s deeper purpose.

“The Northeast has always been a treasure trove of stories, talent, and culture — one that the rest of India is only now beginning to truly discover,” Kumar said. “Through the Northeast Yatra, we are not just travelling across the region; we are creating a platform where authentic voices gain meaningful visibility, leading to real opportunities. Oriflame’s shared belief in empowerment makes this partnership both natural and impactful.”

Abhishek Chakraborty, Head of Brand, PR & Digital at Oriflame India, emphasised the focus on community and opportunity.

“At Oriflame, we believe in empowering individuals to create their own path,” Chakraborty stated. “This collaboration with Whosthat360 allows us to connect directly with communities — especially women — offering them opportunities to explore entrepreneurship and flexible income through high-quality products. The Northeast Yatra is a significant step in making our vision more accessible and impactful.”

Whosthat360 has established itself as India’s fastest-growing influencer content platform, known for spotlighting the creator economy through major initiatives like the WhosNext Influencer Awards and the National Talent Hunt. Its partnership with Oriflame brings professional beauty expertise together with grassroots talent development.

Oriflame, founded in 1967 in Sweden, is a leading global beauty and wellbeing company operating in over 60 markets. It offers a wide range of skincare, cosmetics, fragrances, personal care, and nutritional products.

The brand has earned recognition as a European Climate Leader by the Financial Times and Statista for five consecutive years, underlining its strong commitment to sustainability. In India, Oriflame continues to support women’s financial independence and holistic wellbeing — values that resonate deeply with the goals of this Northeast campaign.

For the young participants in Shillong, the launch event offered more than just workshops and product trials. It provided a rare platform to learn new skills, interact with national-level brands, and explore pathways into content creation and beauty entrepreneurship.

As the Yatra prepares to roll into the next cities, it carries the spirit of discovery and inclusion. By focusing on local talent and providing concrete opportunities, the initiative is helping bring Northeast India’s vibrant creative community into the national conversation.

The coming weeks promise many inspiring stories as #WhosthatNEStar uncovers fresh voices from across the region, making this Yatra not just an event series, but a meaningful movement of empowerment and opportunity.

On April 7, TRAI released the Draft Telecom Consumer Protection (Thirteenth Amendment) Regulation, 2026, asking all telecom operators to provide dedicated Voice and SMS-only tariff vouchers corresponding to every validity period of their existing bundled plans that include voice, SMS, and data.

The core idea is simple yet powerful: if an operator sells a 28-day, 56-day, or any other validity bundled recharge, it must also offer a matching voice-and-SMS-only voucher at a proportionally lower price that excludes the cost of data. This ensures users who do not need or use mobile internet are not forced to pay for it.

This proposal follows TRAI’s earlier 2024 regulation that had made it mandatory for operators to offer at least one voice and SMS-only Special Tariff Voucher (STV). However, the regulator found that such options remain very limited in the market. Many consumers, especially senior citizens, rural residents, and feature phone users, have repeatedly raised concerns that they are left with little choice except to buy data-heavy bundles they rarely utilise.

According to the draft document, TRAI received several representations from consumers and stakeholders requesting shorter-duration voice and SMS-only recharge packs that better suit their needs. These users primarily depend on voice calls to stay connected with family and occasional SMS for important communication, without any requirement for internet data.

If the new rules come into effect, they are expected to benefit a large section of society, including:

• Senior citizens who use mobile phones mainly for calling their children and grandchildren.
• People living in rural and remote areas where high-speed data is either unavailable or unaffordable.
• Users of basic feature phones that do not support heavy data usage.
• Budget-conscious individuals looking for simple, low-cost recharge options without unwanted data packs.

The regulator believes that mandating corresponding voice and SMS-only vouchers for every bundled plan validity period will bring more transparency and fairness in telecom pricing. It will also prevent operators from indirectly pushing customers towards higher-value bundled plans even when data services are not required.

In recent years, India’s telecom market has seen a massive shift towards data-centric offerings from leading players. While this has helped millions access affordable internet, it has also created a gap for those who still rely heavily on traditional voice and messaging services. TRAI’s latest proposal seeks to bridge this gap and ensure every consumer segment gets plans tailored to their actual usage.

The draft regulation is now open for public consultation. TRAI has published the document on its official website and invited written comments from all stakeholders, including telecom companies, consumer groups, and individual citizens. The last date for submitting feedback is April 28, 2026. Comments can be sent electronically to Shri Vijay Kumar, Advisor (Financial & Economic Analysis), TRAI.

The authority has assured that all received inputs will be carefully examined before the final regulation is notified. This consultation process reflects TRAI’s commitment to inclusive decision-making and its ongoing efforts to protect consumer interests in a competitive telecom environment.

If implemented, the proposed changes could mark an important step towards making telecom services more consumer-friendly and need-based. Millions of users who prefer simple voice and SMS services may finally get access to affordable, customised recharge options without paying for features they do not use.

As the consultation period begins, industry experts and consumer advocates will be watching closely to see how the final rules take shape. For now, TRAI’s draft stands as a positive signal that the regulator continues to listen to the voices of ordinary telecom users across India.

While many mark the day with general wellness messages, Sheena offered a more personal and disciplined perspective by embracing what she describes as an “actress-athlete” mindset. This approach combines physical strength, mental awareness, and unwavering consistency, setting her apart in the demanding world of Indian cinema.

Kalaripayattu lies at the centre of her daily routine. Far beyond a traditional martial art, this ancient Kerala practice builds exceptional agility, flexibility, endurance, and sharp mental focus. Sheena has found in it a complete system that nurtures both body and mind, helping her maintain balance and presence even during long and challenging shoot schedules.

Her commitment shines through in her upcoming film roles. In the pan-India project Jhatasya Maranam Dhruvam, she steps into the shoes of a cop, a part that demands real physical power and stamina. For her forthcoming Tamil film, the intensive training is bringing greater authenticity and intensity to her performance. In the Tamil folk drama Bhayaavah, where she portrays a fierce she-devil, Sheena channels her agility into demanding harness sequences and high-energy combat scenes, making the character come alive with raw energy.

Trained in multiple martial arts and holding a brown belt in Karate, Sheena recently demonstrated her rigorous stick practice, displaying impressive precision, control, and deep concentration. Sharing her thoughts, she said, “Every fitness journey has a story, and mine is rooted in discipline, movement, and mastery of craft. Kalaripayattu has taught me that fitness is not just about how you look — it’s about how you move, how positive you feel, and how present you are in every moment.”

Sheena’s lifestyle reflects this philosophy with remarkable consistency. She follows a structured regime that includes two daily workouts of at least 45 minutes each — one of them outdoors. Her diet is clean and balanced, she avoids alcohol completely, and she maintains a strict hydration goal of 3.8 litres of water every day, even when shooting schedules become hectic.

Mental well-being receives equal importance in her routine. Through daily reading and regular mindfulness practices, Sheena steadily builds inner resilience and emotional strength. Her guiding principle is simple yet effective: show up every day with discipline and clear intention.

In an era where quick fitness solutions often dominate headlines, Sheena Chohan’s journey offers a refreshing and grounded alternative. By blending the ancient wisdom of Kalaripayattu with modern dedication, she proves that genuine well-being is a lifelong practice built on consistency and mindful effort.

On the work front, Sheena has an exciting slate of projects ahead. She will soon appear in Jhatasya Maranam Dhruvam, Arjunanin Allirani, the Tamil folk drama Bhayaavah, and the Hollywood film Nomad. Several more projects are expected to be announced in the coming months.

This World Health Day, Sheena Chohan’s story serves as an inspiring reminder that true strength comes from within. Through her deep commitment to Kalaripayattu and a balanced lifestyle, she shows that real health emerges when body, mind, and discipline work together in harmony — a message that feels especially meaningful on a day dedicated to global well-being.

In an emotionally charged confrontation, Abhira approached Arman and confessed she had acted out of fear because of Meher. Instead of understanding, Arman lashed out, accusing her of neglecting Myra and misusing Mukti to rebuild their broken relationship. Refusing to hear her side, he removed Abhira’s ring and announced he was severing all ties, leaving their daughter Myra visibly devastated.

The heartbreak intensified when a distressed Myra tripped while trying to run away. Though Arman rushed to comfort her, the little girl begged to be taken away from “strangers,” highlighting the deep emotional damage caused by the ongoing conflict.

Seizing the opportunity, Meher taunted Abhira, asserting full control over Arman and Myra. She warned her to stay away from her upcoming wedding. In a brazen moment, Meher openly confessed to murdering Rajat, claiming no one could ever prove her guilt. Unfazed, Abhira stood firm and declared she would ensure Meher landed behind bars before her wedding — now just 48 hours away.

Determined to gather irrefutable evidence, Abhira took a huge risk with Mukti’s help to access crucial CCTV footage from the school. Narrowly avoiding the matron, she successfully transferred the data. However, as she prepared to forward the proof to Arman, Meher intervened swiftly and smashed her phone.

In a chilling display of dominance, Meher revealed she had already erased all original CCTV recordings and controlled every corner — including Myra’s school. She coldly suggested Abhira accept money and walk away, leaving the young woman stunned and momentarily broken.

Adding to Abhira’s pain, a hurt and confused Myra distanced herself from Mukti, calling their relationship fake. Meanwhile, at the Poddar house, Madhav and Kaveri reflected on the situation and agreed that a reunion between Abhira and Arman now appears nearly impossible.

In the episode’s final devastating twist, Abhira discovered the remaining data was unrecoverable, leaving her without any concrete proof. Despite this complete collapse of her evidence mission, Abhira refused to surrender. She remains fiercely committed to protecting Arman and Myra from Meher’s web of lies and manipulation.

The current high-voltage track has kept audiences glued to their screens with its sharp emotional confrontations, power-packed performances, and relentless twists. Abhira’s resilience continues to win praise, while Meher’s fearless and calculating villainy has injected fresh intensity into the long-running series.

As Meher’s wedding looms large, viewers are eagerly waiting to see if Abhira can uncover a new way to expose the truth or whether Meher’s carefully constructed empire will finally come crashing down.

With consistent strong ratings and gripping storytelling, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai continues to prove why it remains one of Indian television’s most beloved and enduring family dramas on Star Plus.

The film, which also features Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in lead roles, is designed as a complete family entertainer blending high-energy comedy, romance and mass appeal. Supporting cast includes Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Sheirgill, Chunky Panday, Mouni Roy, Kubbra Sait, Rakesh Bedi and others, promising strong ensemble chemistry for multi-generational audiences.

Ramesh Taurani, Managing Director of Tips Films and producer of the project, confirmed the company’s renewed focus on distribution. The banner plans a robust nationwide strategy, leveraging its extensive network to ensure wide accessibility across urban multiplexes as well as single-screen theatres in smaller towns and semi-urban markets.

This marks a notable father-son reunion for David and Varun Dhawan, following their earlier collaboration on the 2020 comedy Coolie No. 1. David Dhawan, renowned for delivering consistent crowd-pleasers with his signature style of fast-paced humour and engaging storytelling, brings decades of expertise to the project. The film’s title draws inspiration from a popular line in his 1999 hit Biwi No. 1, adding a layer of nostalgic connect.

The release date was recently adjusted from June 5 to June 12, 2026, to avoid a clash with Yash’s pan-India film Toxic. In an official statement issued on March 10, 2026, Ramesh Taurani explained the decision: “We would like to clarify that our film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai was originally scheduled for release on 5th June, a date we had announced several months ago. However, after recent developments and considering the prevailing situation, we felt it would be more appropriate to shift our release. We strongly believe that it is always healthier for the industry when filmmakers support one another rather than compete unnecessarily on the same date. In that spirit of solidarity, we have decided to move the release of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai to 12th June and bring our film to the audiences a week later.”

The strategic shift positions the film favourably in the pre-summer window, when families and younger viewers typically seek light-hearted theatrical experiences. Promotional materials describe the project as delivering “love, madness & full-on entertainment,” with colourful visuals, energetic song sequences and the classic Dhawan brand of humour refreshed for contemporary audiences.

Screenplay credits go to Yunus Sajawal and Farhad Samji, while music is expected from the duo Sachin-Jigar. Cinematography is handled by Ayananka Bose, with costumes by Aki Narula and Samidha Wangnoo. The production has undergone prior scheduling adjustments — originally eyed for April 2026 before moving to early June — reflecting careful industry coordination and sensitivity to box-office dynamics.

Tips Films’ decision to self-distribute underscores confidence in the film’s commercial potential as a summer crowd-puller. Industry observers note that the combination of star power, proven directorial expertise and broad family appeal makes it well-suited for strong theatrical performance in an evolving Bollywood landscape that continues to value accessible, entertaining narratives alongside larger spectacles.

As the team gears up for an energetic marketing campaign, anticipation is building around the official trailer and first-look promotions featuring Varun Dhawan alongside the fresh pairing of Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde. The film is scheduled to release worldwide on June 12, 2026, in Hindi with dubbed versions planned for wider reach.

This development not only signals Tips Films’ active return to distribution under Ramesh Taurani’s leadership but also highlights David Dhawan’s enduring ability to craft reliable, audience-friendly entertainers that resonate across generations.

New Delhi [India], April 06: ‘Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy: The Forgotten Philanthropist of the 19th Century’ traces the legacy of Mumbai’s first Sheriff and pioneering philanthropist, whose contributions include the Matheran Light Railway and a far-reaching impact across communities and continents…

In a city that often forgets its earliest architects, the story of one of Bombay’s most extraordinary yet overlooked figures is set to be retold. The book ‘Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy: The Forgotten Philanthropist of the 19th Century’, authored by his great-grandson Hussain Adamjee Peerbhoy, was unveiled at St. Andrew’s Auditorium, Bandra, in the presence of Sohail Khandwani (Managing Trustee, Mahim Dargah & Haji Ali Dargah), Dr. Ram Puniyani (author and peace activist), Irfan Engineer (General Secretary, Central Board of the Dawoodi Bohra Community), Hussain A. Peerbhoy (author), Rajni Bakshi (author and peace activist), and Geeta Seshu (writer), bringing back into public memory a man who once shaped the very soul of the city.

Long before organised charity became institutionalised, Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy stood apart as a rare force of generosity and vision. Born in 1846 in Dhoraji, Gujarat, he arrived in Bombay as a teenager with just five rupees in his pocket. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary! By his early twenties, he had established himself as a formidable businessman, even building the iconic Peerbhoy Palace on Malabar Hill then, as now, among the city’s most elite addresses, located right next to Varsha Bungalow – the office of the Honourable Chief Minister of Maharashtra.

But it was not wealth that defined him… it was what he chose to do with it…

At a time when philanthropy was neither expected nor widespread, Sir Adamjee quietly transformed lives across communities. He established over two dozen schools educating thousands of children, built hospitals and dispensaries, supported women’s healthcare, and funded relief efforts during famines and disasters across India and beyond. His contributions extended internationally, from creating rest houses in Mecca and Medina to aiding distressed regions in Yemen and Arabia.

Among his most enduring legacies was his role in the development of public infrastructure, including the historic Matheran Light Railway, and his appointment in 1897 as the first Indian Sheriff of Bombay, a milestone that reflected both his stature and the trust he commanded.

His contributions did not go unnoticed in his lifetime. Among many awards and accolades, the British Crown also conferred upon a Knighthood in 1907, recognising both his business acumen and far-reaching philanthropic work.

Yet, despite such monumental contributions, his name has faded from mainstream memory…

This new multi-volume biography seeks to change that.

“For me, this book is not just a tribute… it is the fulfilment of a legacy,” shared Hussain Adamjee Peerbhoy, whose father had first begun documenting the family’s history decades ago. “It was always his wish to bring these remarkable lives into the limelight. I have only carried that responsibility forward to restore my great grandfather, Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy, to public memory and to inspire a younger generation through the example of a life led with humility, purpose and quiet generosity.”

The book is expansive in scope, combining historical narrative with personal archives. It revisits an earlier work on the Matheran Light Railway, traces Sir Adamjee’s life in detail, and explores his close association with the spiritual leaders of the Dawoodi Bohra community – relationships rooted in humility and service.

What makes the book particularly contemporary is its format. The book integrates audio-visual elements through QR codes, allowing readers to access documentaries and visual narratives that bring the 19th century vividly alive. “I wanted people to experience his life, not just read about it,” Hussain Peerbhoy explained, crediting his daughter-in-law for helping bring this idea to life.

In the course of his research, the author uncovered lesser-known facets of his great-grandfather’s character, like his intent to build a veterinary hospital for animals, reflecting a compassion that extended far beyond human need. Taking that intent further, Hussain Adamjee and his family started a free English-medium school at the foothills of Matheran – an initiative that has since enabled students from rural backgrounds to build professional careers.

More than a historical account, the book also raises a timely question: what does philanthropy mean today? “His charity was never limited by caste, creed or community. He helped anyone in need whether through education, healthcare or basic survival,” said Hussain Peerbhoy. “And, in today’s divided world, that spirit feels more relevant than ever,” he concluded.

Key philanthropic contributions of Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy include:

• Contributing to the development of the Matheran Light Railway
• Establishing 26 schools educating over 4,000 children
• Building rubats (guest houses) in Mecca, Medina and Karbala
• Setting up the Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy Sanatorium and hospital at Charni Road, Bombay
• Supporting women and children through free medical centres and dispensaries, including for purdah-observing women
• Funding relief efforts during the Burhanpur fire and the Kathiawar famine of 1877 (including food grain aid worth Rs. 4 lakhs)
• Extending aid to Yemen and other Arab regions, and drought relief in Gujarat
• Developing a municipal market at Dhobi Talao, Bombay

New Delhi [India], April 06: For Anushri, editing has never been tied to one place. Her journey, from Dubai to Mumbai to Los Angeles — has gradually shaped a practice that moves across languages, genres, and different corners of the film industry. 

Having edited films in Hindi, English, Mandarin, and Spanish, Anushri Srinivasan Iyer approaches storytelling with a simple belief: emotion doesn’t belong to one language, and the best films don’t need translation to be felt. 

Anushri’s journey into editing didn’t begin in a film school or on a professional set, but in a classroom in Dubai, where she first opened Adobe Premiere Pro as a high school student. What started as curiosity quickly turned into instinct. That instinct was affirmed early on when she was placed second amongst approximately 45,000 entries in the international CBSE Adobe Creativity Challenge celebrating 150-years of Mahatma Gandhi. She was invited to the Adobe Headquarters in Delhi, and was felicitated by Mr. Shantanu Narayen, The Chairman/CEO of Adobe Inc USA- A moment that marked the beginning of something much bigger. 

While doing her undergraduate studies at Whistling Woods International, Film City Mumbai, her relationship with storytelling began to take shape — not just technically, but creatively and personally. During this time, she directed and edited the short film Radhika, which went on to win multiple awards, including Best Amateur Film at the Sun of the East International Film Festival, The Goa International film festival and Tagore International Film Festival. Anushri’s work gained recognition with the short film Vijaya Dashami, which was selected among the top 100 short films at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival, Mumbai. Anushri was the Head of the Whistling Woods Earth Charter, where she organized initiatives focused on environmental awareness and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 

It was her move to Los Angeles that marked a turning point. At the American Film Institute Conservatory, where she completed her Masters Degree in Film Editing, Anushri Iyer found herself in an environment that pushed her to refine both her

craft and her voice. Working across a wide range of genres — including comedy, thriller, animation, and horror — she began to understand just how much power an editor holds. 

Her thesis film HIM, screened at the AFI FEST 2025 at the Chinese theater in Hollywood, became a particularly defining project. Anushri’s thesis film ‘HIM’ was selected across various film schools to receive an Amazon Studios AI Grant. Through the grant she explored the various uses of AI in filmmaking. The process changed the way she approached editing, allowing her to better understand the inner lives of characters and guiding her to make choices that felt more deliberate and more intuitive to the story itself. During her time at AFI, she also edited ‘Spectre’ and ‘When the cold wind blows’ which premiered at the Singapore Int Film Festival 2025 and Beyond Fest 2025 Los Angeles 2025. She also volunteered at the SMPTE MTS 2024 and ACE Eddie Awards 2025 and 2026. 

Anushri Iyer has steadily built her presence within the Hollywood Film industry. She has worked as an Assistant Editor on the feature film The Best Summer, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival which received coverage in major publications such as Variety and Rolling Stone. She also worked as an Assistant Editor on the short film The Window Cleaners, which was part of the For Your Consideration campaign for the Academy Awards. 

Her work extends across both traditional and digital platforms. As a freelance Assistant Editor for Jubilee Media, she contributed to widely viewed digital content, while continuing to edit independent narrative films in Los Angeles. She also served as an Additional Editor on the feature film Where the Wind Blows, which had a theatrical release and is now available on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. 

Anushri Srinivasan Iyer is an Avid certified professional and is currently working as a Post-Production Assistant at Sony Pictures for a show to be released in 2026 on Apple TV, while also serving as an Assistant Editor on two upcoming feature films set for release — continuing to build a career that moves fluidly between independent and studio spaces. 

For Anushri, editing isn’t just about assembling footage, it’s about understanding what a moment is really trying to say, and shaping it so it lands honestly with an audience.

Anushri’s editing perspective is shaped by her experiences across film industries, cities, and cultures — but grounded in something simple: paying attention to performances, to rhythm and to the small, often invisible choices that ultimately define how a story is experienced. 

As her learning continues to grow, Anushri remains drawn to stories that feel personal yet resonate widely — stories rooted in emotional truth and human connection. 

Because at its core, she believes cinema works the same way everywhere—it connects through feeling, not language

• The trailer for 'Bhoot Bangla' has been released, promising a unique blend of comedy and horror.
• It marks the much-anticipated reunion of actor Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan.
• Fans have reacted with significant excitement, anticipating a return to their classic cinematic magic.

The digital landscape is buzzing with reactions following the release of the trailer for 'Bhoot Bangla'. This upcoming film, directed by the acclaimed Priyadarshan and starring superstar Akshay Kumar, has immediately captured public attention, hinting at a cinematic experience that promises both laughter and genuine chills.

This project signifies a significant reunion for the iconic actor-director duo, known for delivering some of Indian cinema's most beloved comedy films. Their past collaborations have consistently struck a chord with audiences, establishing a benchmark for the genre.

A Glimpse into the 'Bhoot Bangla' World

The 'Bhoot Bangla' trailer offers a compelling sneak peek into a world where paranormal occurrences meet uproarious situations. It skillfully juxtaposes eerie visuals with Akshay Kumar's signature comedic timing, creating an intriguing narrative that has left viewers curious about the full story. The visuals suggest a sprawling, mysterious mansion, a classic setting for ghost stories, but reimagined with a humorous twist.

Fans are particularly keen to see how the film navigates the fine line between generating genuine scares and inducing hearty laughs. This balance is a hallmark of Priyadarshan's directorial style, especially when collaborating with an actor of Kumar's versatility.

Fan Reactions: Nostalgia Meets Modern Expectations

The online response to the 'Bhoot Bangla' trailer has been largely enthusiastic. Many viewers expressed a wave of nostalgia, recalling the golden era of comedy films delivered by this director-actor pair. Social media platforms are filled with comments anticipating a revival of their classic brand of entertainment.

However, the reactions are not entirely uniform. While a significant portion of the audience is celebrating the return of the duo, some voices have offered a more critical perspective, evaluating whether the film will truly offer something fresh or merely rely on past successes. This mix of anticipation and scrutiny underscores the high expectations placed on the project.

The 'Bhoot Bangla' Premise Unpacked

While specific plot details remain under wraps, the trailer suggests a story centered around a haunted property and a character, presumably played by Akshay Kumar, tasked with or drawn into resolving its supernatural mysteries. The comedic elements appear to stem from the characters' reactions to the paranormal, creating a humorous interplay with the eerie backdrop.

The Enduring Appeal of Comedy-Horror

The genre of comedy-horror has carved a distinct niche in Indian cinema, offering audiences an escape that blends suspense with lighthearted moments. 'Bhoot Bangla' appears poised to add a new chapter to this popular category, leveraging the proven track record of its lead creatives.

The film's reception will also be a testament to how established stars continue to draw immense public interest, not just in their cinematic ventures but also in various other public appearances and endorsements. For instance, the buzz around celebrity presence is often seen across sectors, much like how an event featuring Actor Shruti Marathe unveiling a luxurious show flat garners significant media attention.

What Lies Ahead for 'Bhoot Bangla'

With the trailer now out, the countdown to the film's full release has officially begun. Industry analysts and fans alike will be closely watching how 'Bhoot Bangla' performs, especially given the high expectations fueled by the Akshay Kumar-Priyadarshan partnership. The film is expected to be a significant entry in the upcoming release calendar, attracting a wide audience segment eager for both laughter and a touch of the supernatural.

During this grand showcase, students presented their talent through 8 different theme-based sequences. The collections included Tinted Craft, Kaaj Rekh, Sthala, Unbound Naari, Taaj, Grace in Wild, Sutradhar, and Reflection of Rajasthan. Each theme beautifully blended Rajasthan’s culture, traditional art, modern fashion, and meaningful social messages.
Every design presented on the ramp was not just a display of fashion, but a reflection of a concept, a story, and months of hard work by the students. Themes like Unbound Naari and Sutradhar, in particular, stood out for presenting social awareness and traditional art in a refreshing and impactful manner, earning great appreciation from the audience. Professional models from across the country enhanced the show with their impressive presentations, adding charm and elegance to the ramp. The audience responded with enthusiastic applause after every sequence, encouraging the participants.

The event concluded with a grand finale walk, where all designers and models shared the stage together—marking the most captivating moment of the evening. At the end, the organisers expressed their gratitude to all guests, participants, and supporters. The event not only served as a significant platform for students but also highlighted the growing influence of design education and the fashion industry in Jaipur.

Organizers Pawan Tank and Kirti Tank shared that this was the first season of the pageant, organized by the Miss India Glam organization. The finale began with a ceremonial lamp lighting and Ganesh Vandana. The Top 40 finalists were selected after multiple rounds of screening and grooming. During the grand finale, four fashion sequences were presented.

Organized by the national-level beauty pageant Miss India Glam, this Rajasthan state-level pageant has emerged as one of the biggest platforms in its very first season. With record-breaking entries, grand production, credibility, a safe environment, and immense popularity, the event has set a new benchmark in the industry.

What makes this project truly special is its star-studded cast. Sneha will share the screen with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and veteran actor Sanjay Dutt, popularly known as Sanju Baba. Adding further international appeal, the film also features acclaimed Hollywood actress Monica Bellucci in a lead role. Insiders describe ‘7 Dogs’ as one of the most ambitious and expensive films in the history of Arab cinema.

Sneha Sidh’s journey from modelling and music videos to an international feature film is being celebrated across Rajasthan. Her cameo appearance in this high-profile project is being seen not just as a personal milestone but also as a proud moment for Rajasthani talent on the world map.

Originally from Churu, Sneha began her career in modelling and music videos. Through sheer hard work and determination, she gradually built her identity in the entertainment industry. Recently, she launched her own music channel, showcasing her versatile artistic skills. Her selection for ‘7 Dogs’ is being hailed as a significant breakthrough that could open new doors for her career.

For any young artist, working alongside legends like Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, and Monica Bellucci is nothing short of a dream come true. The presence of such global names is expected to give the film a massive worldwide platform, and Sneha’s involvement puts a spotlight on emerging talent from smaller towns in India.

Rajasthan has long been known for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant arts, and talented individuals who have made their mark in various fields. Sneha Sidh’s achievement continues this proud tradition, proving that talent from the heartland of India can now reach international shores.

The film ‘7 Dogs’ is currently in advanced stages of production. With its action-packed storyline and heavy use of visual effects, expectations are running high. The growing investment in Saudi Arabia’s film industry has opened new opportunities for artists from across the globe, and projects like ‘7 Dogs’ are clear examples of this expanding cinematic landscape.

Sneha Sidh’s success story serves as an inspiring example for countless young aspirants, especially those from smaller cities and towns. It highlights that with dedication, perseverance, and the right opportunity, dreams that once seemed distant can become reality.

Back home in Rajasthan, the news of her casting has been met with widespread excitement and pride. Local residents, family members, and well-wishers are congratulating Sneha and eagerly awaiting the film’s release. Many believe this is just the beginning of a promising journey for the talented actress.

This achievement is not only a personal triumph for Sneha Sidh but also a moment of pride for the entire state. It reinforces the belief that no dream is too big when backed by talent and hard work. As ‘7 Dogs’ prepares to hit screens in 2026, all eyes are on how this Rajasthan girl makes her mark on the global cinematic stage.

The Chief Guest, Hon’ble Health Minister, Shri Gajendra Singh Khimsar, Government of Rajasthan, addressed the gathering and reiterated the state’s strong commitment to bolstering healthcare infrastructure and improving cancer outcomes.

“The Government of Rajasthan remains strongly committed to bolstering healthcare infrastructure and delivering better cancer outcomes for our people. Our increased health budget allocation demonstrates this resolve to expand access and improve quality of care across the state. Initiatives like developing state-specific Standard Treatment Guidelines are timely and critical for creating an equitable cancer care ecosystem,” said Shri Gajendra Singh Khimsar.

Deliberations during the workshop covered key areas including early detection and screening programs, access to advanced therapies such as immuno-oncology and precision medicine, sustainable financing mechanisms through schemes like Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY and Mukyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana (MAA Yojana), and the vital role of public-private partnerships in bridging existing gaps.

Experts at the workshop emphasized the need for greater emphasis on public-private partnerships to effectively address existing gaps in cancer care pathways, development of a robust referral mechanism in the state based on the capabilities and infrastructure available in both public and private sectors, and establishment of state-specific Standard Treatment Protocols for cancer care to ensure uniformity and better patient outcomes across all levels of healthcare.

Major General Subhash Pareek (Retd.), Executive Director, BMCHRC, emphasized the need for strong institutional collaboration, stating that building an effective cancer care ecosystem requires a unified, patient-centric approach rooted in clinical excellence and standardized practices.

Dr. Monika Puri, CCO, Roche, underscored the value of adopting global best practices and robust implementation frameworks.

“Bringing the best of innovations in immuno-oncology and precision medicine has limited value if they do not reach the right patient at the right time. We need strong collaboration between government, industry, academia and civil society to focus on early detection, awareness, screening, and standardized treatment protocols across all levels of care. Industry is ready to partner on value-based and outcome-based models to make advanced cancer care more accessible and effective in Rajasthan,” she said. 

Dr. P R Sodhani, Chair of one of the key panel discussions, highlighted the practical way forward: “To strengthen comprehensive cancer care, we must have greater public-private partnerships covering service delivery, infrastructure, human resources, digital systems, and seamless information sharing. When all stakeholders come together, we will successfully achieve our goals of standardized and high-quality treatment for every patient. This collaborative spirit is essential for the roadmap ahead.”

The workshop concluded with a collective commitment from all stakeholders to develop and implement Rajasthan-specific Standard Treatment Guidelines. A detailed roadmap with clear milestones is expected to be finalized in the coming months. This initiative represents a major step toward creating a more coordinated, equitable, and future-ready cancer care ecosystem in the state.

This was perhaps the first such occasion on the soil of Marwar where such a massive crowd gathered without the labels of caste or religion, engaging in deep brainstorming on meaningful societal issues. The main focus of the conference was centered on three key points: the eradication of unemployment, the abolition of casteism, and environmental conservation.

Historic Moment: 'Jal Samagam' and 'Sarvodaya Kalash' Around 1:00 PM, the most emotional and historic moment of the event, the 'Jal Samagam', was witnessed. Erasing the divides of caste, people from various communities brought water with them. All of this water was poured into a single urn as a symbol of unity and harmony, which was subsequently named the 'Sarvodaya Kalash'.

Industrialist Meghraj Singh Royal's Emphasis on Unemployment, Education, and Environment: Addressing the gathering, prominent industrialist and Chairman of the United Global Peace Foundation, Meghraj Singh Royal, clearly stated that unemployment is currently the biggest problem. He noted that meritorious children of Marwar scoring above 90 percent are left behind due to a lack of resources. The foundation is preparing such children for higher education and administrative services (IAS, IPS), ensuring that capable individuals enter the administration in the future to change the state's landscape.

Highlighting the immense potential for solar energy in Rajasthan, he suggested that unemployed youth should be allotted barren land and integrated into solar power generation. This, he noted, could generate crores in income and millions of jobs. He also described tourism as a massive source of employment. He elaborated on five key points:

1. Solution to Unemployment and the Solar Energy Model: In his keynote address, Royal explained that Marwar possesses limitless wealth in the form of the sun. Presenting a solid economic model, he stated that if just 10% of Rajasthan's barren land is given to the unemployed and farmers, 1 megawatt of electricity can be generated on 4 acres of land, yielding an annual income of ₹50 lakh. This model can provide direct employment to 4.5 million (45 lakh) people in Marwar and generate crores in revenue, with indirect jobs reaching into the millions.

2. Tourism and Revival of Traditional Arts: He shared his journey of putting Jaisalmer on the global tourism map in 1986 alongside Dr. Lalit K. Panwar. He explained how, starting from camel stables, he built a hotel industry that didn't just construct buildings but provided local Manganiyar singers, artisans, and dancers with a global platform and sustainable employment.

3. Scientific and Historical Explanation of Casteism: Launching a scathing attack on casteism, Royal said that in ancient times, 'caste' was identified not by birth but by skill and occupation (such as potter, barber, gardener). It was merely a work style, which was later twisted into the disease of 'casteism' by the British and politicians for their selfish motives. He compared casteism to the salty water of the sea, urging people to abandon it and create sweet water through the technology of hard work.

4. Tsunami of Technology (AI) and Warning of East India Company 2.0: He warned the youth that in the near future, technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) will snatch away jobs on a massive scale. Therefore, it is essential to preserve manual skills and traditional arts. Terming large corporate retail chains as the new "East India Company," he appealed to the public to stop ordering goods from foreign online companies and to support local traders and brethren instead; otherwise, 70% of the coming generations will be left unemployed.

5. Public Policy, Not Politics (Lokneeti, Not Rajneeti): Meghraj Singh Royal clarified that the purpose of this platform is not to form a political party. However, he called upon the public to send educated, capable youth who wear suits and ties and understand technology and the economy to the Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha, rather than uneducated leaders.

Marwar's Cultural Heritage and Brotherhood - Arvind Singh Bhati: Arvind Singh Bhati, Student Union President of Jai Narain Vyas University, Jodhpur, stated that today's Mahasammelan is a collective effort to save Marwar's 'Apanayat' (sense of belonging) and love. Citing historical examples, he reminded the audience that Lord Ram ate the half-eaten berries of Mata Shabari, and the supreme societal positions given to Maharishi Valmiki and Mahatma Vidur prove that karma (deeds) is paramount. He recalled Marwar's social fabric, where from birth to death, every auspicious and religious function sees the equal and respectful participation of all castes like Nai (barber), Suthar (carpenter), Manganiyar, etc. Bhati urged the youth to avoid the 'digital cocaine' of social media and have the courage to call out what is right.

Solutions Along with Problems - Mukesh Meghwal: UGPF Manager Mukesh Meghwal, in an emotional address, shared that to prepare this unity platform, he toured the villages and hamlets of Marwar for three months, inviting all 36 communities. He emphasized that Shri Meghraj Singh Royal doesn't just point out society's problems but implements concrete solutions. Hotel management training for 100 youths at Suryagarh with a monthly stipend of ₹25,000, funding marriages for poor daughters, and providing free education for 700 children through the foundation are living examples. From the land of Baba Ramdev, he administered an oath to all attendees to strengthen social unity and brotherhood.

Hard Work is the Real Prestige - Sant Omdas Maharaj: Sant Omdas Maharaj stated that a person's prestige comes not from their money or position, but from their Purusharth (hard work/effort). Praising the selfless service of Shri Meghraj Singh, he remarked that he is 'Royal' not just on the outside, but on the inside as well. The saint honored the sacrifices made by the ancestors of the Meghwal community (such as Raja Ram Meghwal, Manana ji, etc.) for water and society during the historical construction of Pushkar, Pichola, and Mehrangarh. He called upon everyone to tear down the walls of hatred and be threaded together like beads in a single garland.

Example of Great Men and Youthful Energy - Moti Singh Jodha: Youth leader Moti Singh Jodha, in his impassioned address, asserted that untouchability and hierarchy were never part of our original culture. The chief guest at Lord Ram's coronation was Kevat (a boatman). Pabuji Maharaj was accompanied by brave men of the Bhil community, and in Maharana Pratap's army, Bhils, Gadoliya Lohars, and Hakim Khan Sur stood firmly shoulder to shoulder. He urged the crowd to stand with full strength behind platforms and champions of action who strive to advance education, employment, and the entire society together.

Confluence of Heritage, Culture, and Folk Art: The program was formally inaugurated by Umrao Singh Jodha and Raees Ahmed Malik. Impactful screenings of the 'Marwar Documentary' and 'Soch Documentary' took place. Youth leader Lokendra Singh Bhati delivered a speech on the glorious history of Marwar, while Madho Singh engaged in a deep discussion on 'Heritage and Culture'. Following this, Babu Khan Jinawati infused new energy among the attendees with his brilliant 'folk poetry' performance. Representing women's empowerment, Mrs. Asha Meghwanshi explained the critical 'Role of Women in Social Integration'.

Importance of Education: Educationist Prof. Amrika Singh, who has served as Vice-Chancellor of universities in Rajasthan, highlighted the pivotal 'role of education' in the upliftment of society.

Message from Former IAS Lalit K. Panwar and Prof. Shakeel Parvez: During the conference, former IAS and son of Marwar, Lalit K. Panwar, and the CEO and Academic Director of the Marwar Muslim Welfare Educational Society, Prof. Shakeel Parvez, delivered special messages via video conferencing. Both speakers highly praised the three main initiatives raised by the Samajik Ekta Manch and United Global Peace Foundation—eradicating unemployment, abolishing casteism, and conserving the environment—and affirmed that the foundation is doing excellent grassroots work in these directions.

From Integral Humanism to Sarvodaya: People of all religions and communities set an incredible example of unity and harmony by simultaneously pouring water into the urn placed on the stage. The clarion call of this Mahasammelan, rising from the holy land of Baba Ramdev, made it clear that Marwar has now taken a step in a new and positive direction based on employment, education, and brotherhood. Dr. Vikrant Singh Tomar stated that this urn is a symbol of moving from Integral Humanism towards Sarvodaya (Universal Upliftment). The Mahasammelan proved that if the entire society of Marwar unites to focus on education, employment, and the environment, the stigma of unemployment and casteism can be wiped out from Rajasthan forever. This successful Mahasammelan concluded with a vote of thanks by Durjan Singh.

Booklet Attracted Attention: A booklet distributed by the organizers caught everyone's attention. It revealed the truth behind the dominance and glare of solar companies in the region. It detailed two projects outlining a blueprint for unemployment eradication and environmental conservation, leaving everyone highly intrigued.

Announced on March 31, 2026, the new product builds on the success of the brand’s earlier Supergrains Puffs and targets modern consumers who understand that true performance includes proper recovery and relaxation. Made with 47% sprouted moong and jowar, these baked sticks are high in protein and crafted to deliver both nutrition and bold taste without any guilt.

The launch reflects a growing demand among urban Indians for snacks that go beyond mere calories and protein. Today’s consumers, often juggling demanding workdays, intense workouts, or constant digital stimulation, are actively seeking options that support stress relief, better focus, and mindful pauses. KLAW Super Sprout Sticks aim to fill exactly that gap — a wholesome snack that feels like a smart wind-down rather than another quick fuel-up.

Each stick combines intelligent nutrition with indulgent flavours. The five exciting variants — Masala Madness, Mango Mania, Achari Nimbu, Pudina Punch, and Korean Kick — blend familiar Indian tastes with global influences, making the product appealing to adventurous snack lovers across age groups.

The product was officially unveiled at an exclusive event in Mumbai that brought together wellness enthusiasts, social media influencers, and industry professionals. The evening featured a special immersive wind-down wellness session conducted in collaboration with The Fit Corporate and led by Khyati Kanjani. Popular personality Pratik Sehajpal also graced the occasion, adding star power to the gathering and reinforcing the brand’s connection with health-conscious audiences.

Speaking at the launch, Nikki Arora Singh, Founder & Director of KLAW Snacks, shared the core idea behind the product: “With KLAW Super Sprout Sticks, we wanted to create a snack that supports mindful winding down while delivering on taste and nutrition. Made with 47% sprouted moong and jowar, these baked, high-protein sticks are designed for those who believe that winding down is just as important as powering up. With bold flavours and wholesome ingredients, we’re building snacks that support relaxation, stress relief, and better focus — making conscious snacking exciting, accessible, and intelligent.”

KLAW Snacks is part of the portfolio of Shivanika Foods Private Limited, the company behind the successful plant-based brand Blue Tribe. This positioning allows KLAW to draw on the parent company’s expertise in creating sustainable, conscious, and better-for-you food products. The brand has consistently focused on innovative, flavour-forward snacks that make healthy eating enjoyable rather than restrictive.

With the introduction of Super Sprout Sticks, KLAW strengthens its commitment to the “keyed-up generation” — young professionals and fitness enthusiasts who value both performance and recovery. The product is positioned as a premium yet accessible option that combines the goodness of sprouted grains with bold, devilishly good flavours.

Consumers can now easily find KLAW Super Sprout Sticks on quick commerce platforms including Zepto, Instamart, and Blinkit, as well as in retail stores across major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and others. This wide availability ensures that mindful snacking is no longer limited to niche health stores but becomes part of everyday routines.

The launch comes at a time when the Indian snacking industry is witnessing a clear shift towards functional and better-for-you products. Sprouted ingredients, in particular, are gaining popularity due to their enhanced nutritional profile and easier digestibility. By being the first brand to bring a dedicated “supersprout” snack to the market, KLAW has positioned itself as an innovator in this evolving space.

As urban lifestyles continue to grow more hectic, brands like KLAW are responding with solutions that respect both the need for energy and the equally important need for calm. Super Sprout Sticks represent this balanced approach — a snack that nourishes the body while gently supporting the mind.

With its expanding range and clear focus on mindful nutrition, KLAW Snacks is steadily building a portfolio that speaks to conscious consumers who refuse to compromise on either taste or wellness. One wind-down moment at a time, the brand is redefining what healthy snacking can feel like in modern India.

• Beyond calorie counting, metabolic adaptation can significantly stall weight loss efforts.
• Hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, and poor sleep often override strict dietary adherence.
• A holistic approach considering gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and lifestyle factors is crucial for sustainable results.

Many individuals meticulously track their diet, commit to regular exercise, and still find themselves frustrated when the weighing scale refuses to budge. This common predicament often leads to self-doubt, but according to leading nutritionists, the issue rarely lies in a lack of effort. Instead, a complex interplay of internal and external factors often sabotages even the most disciplined weight loss journeys.

Understanding the Metabolic Maze

The human body is an intricate system, designed for survival. When calorie intake is reduced over time, the body's metabolism can adapt, slowing down to conserve energy. This phenomenon, known as metabolic adaptation or adaptive thermogenesis, means fewer calories are burned at rest, making further weight loss increasingly difficult.

"It's not just about calories in versus calories out anymore," explains a prominent nutritionist. "While that's a foundational principle, the body learns to operate on fewer calories more efficiently, creating a plateau that feels impenetrable." This biological response is a key reason why simply eating less might not always be the long-term solution.

The Silent Saboteurs: Hormones and Stress

Beyond metabolism, a range of hormonal imbalances can play a significant role. Cortisol, the stress hormone, when chronically elevated, can promote fat storage, especially around the abdomen. Insulin resistance can make it harder for the body to utilize glucose effectively, leading to increased fat storage.

Thyroid function also dictates metabolic rate. An underactive thyroid can dramatically slow metabolism, making weight loss a monumental challenge. Many people might be doing 'everything right' in terms of diet and exercise but overlook these critical internal regulators.

Chronic stress, often unaddressed, fuels these hormonal issues. The demands of modern life can lead to persistent high cortisol levels, creating a physiological environment resistant to fat loss, regardless of dietary choices or gym routines.

The Crucial Role of Sleep and Gut Health

Sleep deprivation is another often-underestimated factor. Insufficient sleep disrupts hormones like ghrelin and leptin, which regulate hunger and satiety. This imbalance can lead to increased cravings for unhealthy foods and a higher calorie intake, even if one is consciously trying to eat well.

Emerging research also highlights the profound impact of gut health on weight management. A diverse and healthy gut microbiome influences nutrient absorption, inflammation, and even appetite regulation. An imbalanced gut flora can hinder weight loss efforts, regardless of dietary quality.

Rethinking Macronutrients and Lifestyle

While calorie counting remains relevant, the quality and balance of macronutrients are equally vital. A focus on high-protein diets has gained traction, but experts caution that while protein can aid satiety and muscle preservation, its efficacy depends on individual needs and overall dietary context. Holistic nutrition emphasizes not just macros, but also micronutrients, food quality, and sustainability.

A nutritionist points out, "Many people are cutting calories but eating processed foods lacking in essential nutrients. The body needs quality fuel to function optimally, burn fat, and maintain energy levels." Just as important as diet is a balanced lifestyle that includes adequate rest and stress reduction. This balance is crucial not just for physical health but for mental well-being, allowing individuals to engage with life and even enjoy cultural events, similar to how the entertainment industry recently gathered for a spectacular Ramadan Iftaar hosted by Mohammed Nagaman Lateef and Samina Mirza.

For those feeling stuck, a personalized approach is recommended. This involves a comprehensive assessment of lifestyle, stress levels, sleep patterns, and potential underlying medical conditions, rather than just focusing on diet and exercise numbers alone.

• Daily yoga offers tailored benefits for women, enhancing physical and mental health across all life stages.
• Experts emphasize its power in mitigating stress, balancing hormones, and boosting overall vitality.
• Consistent practice builds strength, improves flexibility, and fosters better emotional regulation.

Embracing Daily Yoga for Women's Wellness

In a world increasingly seeking holistic health solutions, the ancient practice of yoga is garnering renewed attention, particularly for its profound benefits for women. Experts across the globe are highlighting why integrating yoga into a daily routine can be a transformative step for women's physiological and psychological well-being.

This isn't just about physical postures. A comprehensive yoga practice encompasses breathing techniques, meditation, and mindful movement, all contributing to a balanced lifestyle. It addresses unique challenges women often face, from hormonal fluctuations to demanding daily schedules.

Physical Resilience and Agility

Regular yoga practice significantly enhances physical health. It builds core strength, improves flexibility, and refines balance, crucial aspects for women of all ages. A yoga instructor specializing in classes for individuals over 60 frequently incorporates movements designed to boost stability and range of motion, underscoring yoga's adaptability.

For beginners, styles like Vinyasa yoga offer a dynamic yet accessible entry point. The key is finding a 'sweet spot' in practice, where challenges meet comfort, leading to sustained progress. Daily engagement, when done safely and mindfully, is often encouraged by fitness professionals.

Nurturing Mental and Emotional Balance

The mental health benefits of yoga are particularly relevant for women, who often juggle multiple roles and responsibilities. Daily practice can be a powerful tool against stress, anxiety, and even symptoms of depression. It cultivates a sense of calm and clarity.

Mindfulness cultivated through yoga helps in reducing cortisol levels, the body's primary stress hormone. This, in turn, can improve sleep quality, enhance focus, and foster a more positive outlook on life, providing an essential mental reprieve from daily pressures.

Hormonal Harmony and Reproductive Health

One of the most significant benefits for women lies in yoga's ability to support hormonal balance. Specific poses and breathing exercises can help regulate the endocrine system, offering relief from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) discomfort and easing symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause.

For women dealing with conditions like PCOS, a consistent yoga routine, combined with appropriate medical advice, can contribute to managing symptoms and improving overall reproductive health. It empowers women to take an active role in their well-being.

The Expert Consensus: A Daily Commitment

Experts consistently recommend daily yoga for its cumulative effects. It’s a sustainable form of exercise that can be tailored to individual needs and energy levels, making it safe for daily practice as long as one listens to their body.

The blend of physical activity and meditative elements creates a powerful synergy, contributing to a woman's holistic growth and self-care. As women increasingly seek avenues for personal empowerment and expression, from career achievements to milestones in fashion, such as when WforWoman debuted at Paris Fashion Week, prioritising personal well-being through practices like yoga remains fundamental.

• Her collection masterfully fused ancestral Rajasthani textile arts with contemporary silhouettes.

New York City's prestigious fashion week has once again served as a global stage, this time witnessing the captivating artistry of Rajasthan's own Kirti Rathore.

Each piece told a story, meticulously handcrafted, reflecting a commitment to heritage and skilled artisans.

A Fusion of Tradition and Modernity

The collection stood out for its audacious use of color palettes – from the fiery reds and deep indigos characteristic of Rajasthan to unexpected pastels and metallic accents. Silhouettes ranged from flowing, ethereal gowns that exuded understated elegance to sharply tailored separates that spoke to a contemporary, empowered woman. Critics lauded Rathore's ability to seamlessly bridge ancient textile practices with cutting-edge design, proving that sustainability and high fashion can indeed coexist.

Attendees, including international buyers, fashion journalists, and celebrities, were visibly impressed by the collection's depth and originality. The intricate detailing, from hand-embroidered motifs to delicate beadwork, underscored the painstaking effort and passion poured into every garment.

Impact on Global Fashion Landscape

Kirti Rathore’s triumph at NYFW 2026 further solidifies the growing influence of Indian design in international fashion circuits. Her vision resonates with a global audience increasingly seeking authentic, ethically produced, and visually compelling apparel. This recognition is a testament to the enduring appeal of Indian artistry and the talent brewing within the nation's creative hubs.

The successful display positions Rathore as a significant voice in sustainable fashion, advocating for traditional artisan communities and showcasing their unparalleled skills. This moment is akin to other Indian talents making their mark across various global platforms, acknowledging their unique contributions and pushing boundaries. For instance, the recognition of excellence in entertainment, as seen with Aditya Khurana’s 6th Continental International Awards and 8th Iconic Mr. India 2026, underscores a wider trend of Indian professionals gaining international acclaim across diverse industries.

Beyond the Runway: A Cultural Ambassador

Rathore's collection at New York Fashion Week 2026 was more than just clothing; it was a cultural exchange, a celebration of Rajasthan's artistic legacy presented through a modern lens. Her work encourages dialogue about the future of fashion—one that respects heritage, empowers artisans, and prioritizes conscious creation. As Indian enterprises and individuals continue to make global strides, such as Heena Alagh embracing new opportunities in India, the narrative of Indian innovation and impact continues to grow stronger across all sectors.

While the internet spent the day fooling friends and posting fake announcements, Priyanka decided to call out what she jokingly calls the real long-running prank: commitment phobic men. Instead of ranting, she did what she does best turned it into a fun, relatable reel with humor, honesty, and just the right amount of sarcasm.

Her “Commitment Cocktail” is less about getting tipsy and more about getting clarity. Because somewhere between “I’m not ready yet”, “Let’s not label this”, and “Let’s just go with the flow,” an entire generation has basically been decoding excuses like they’re solving a mystery thriller.

So Priyanka’s solution?

If he won’t commit… at least the cocktail will.

The Commitment Cocktail – The Mood Drink

Ingredients:

Flor de Caña Rum

Fresh lemons

Diet Pepsi

A splash of “Green Flag Energy Juice” (aka self-respect, boundaries, and zero tolerance for nonsense)

Method:

Mix the rum with a generous squeeze of lemon, top it with Diet Pepsi, and finally add your Green Flag Energy. Stir well, serve chilled, and preferably drink it with your best friends while discussing whether he’s worth your time or just group chat content.

More Than Just a Reel

What makes this idea click is how relatable it is. Priyanka isn’t just mixing drinks, she's mixing humor with truth. Modern dating has become a maze of situationships, undefined relationships, and emotional half commitments. Somewhere along the way, “commitment issues” became the most socially acceptable excuse ever created.

Through this playful concept, she flips the narrative. Instead of overthinking texts or waiting for clarity, she encourages women to laugh, reflect, and maybe raise their standards a little.

Because honestly, basic commitment shouldn’t feel like a premium subscription plan.

The Final Sip

The Commitment Cocktail might not fix modern dating, but it definitely starts a conversation and sometimes that’s enough. It’s a reminder that clarity is attractive, boundaries are important, and if someone is confused, inconsistent, or “not ready,” at least your drink should never be.

Cheers to clarity, boundaries, and cocktails with zero mixed signals.

Entrepreneur Heena Alagh is embarking on a new beginning, having recently relocated to India from Dubai due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East. With a positive outlook, she states, “With open arms, I am welcoming new opportunities. It is a fresh start.”

A Global Upbringing and Creative Foundation

Alagh describes herself as a “child of the universe,” attributing her adaptability and broad perspective to growing up across different regions, learning new languages, and engaging with diverse people and cultures from an early age. Her educational journey, spanning seven states and three colleges, further enriched her understanding and provided varied experiences. Supported by her parents' strong encouragement for education, she pursued fashion merchandising and production at Pearl Academy, Chennai. Possessing a creative spirit, Alagh has always been drawn to exploration, continuously refining her skills and adding elegance to her endeavors.

Mastering the Investment and Real Estate Landscape in Dubai

Despite her creative background, Heena Alagh transitioned her career into the investment and real estate market. She articulates her view on the sector, stating, “Real estate is the art of owning and shaping space, where land and property come together as both a lifestyle statement and a long lasting investment.” Dubai's market potential is immense, and in this environment, her role as an investment connoisseur involves a refined understanding of investments, carefully selecting opportunities with insight, strategy, and a keen eye for value. She emphasizes that her approach goes beyond merely investing clients’ money; it involves evaluating, curating, and growing wealth with expertise and taste.

Embracing Opportunities: A Return to Indian Roots

A frequent traveler between Delhi and Mumbai, Alagh expresses a deep fondness for the Indian capital, declaring, “Delhi NCR is my home.” She highlights the significant interest of Indian investors in the Dubai real estate market, noting, “If I talk about statistics, 52% of Indians invest in the Dubai real estate market, so that speaks volumes.” While the specific percentage she cited is higher than some market reports, data from 2023-2025 consistently shows Indians as the largest or among the top foreign buyers in Dubai's property market, often accounting for 20-23% of foreign transactions and investing billions of dollars annually. This strong investment trend underscores the appeal of Dubai for Indian nationals. Alagh's return to India was prompted by the current situation, and she sees a wealth of opportunities in her home country, wholeheartedly embracing this new chapter.

Future Horizons: Open to New Ventures and Reality TV

Heena Alagh's recent appearances at social gatherings in Mumbai have garnered attention within the industry. When questioned about potential involvement in reality television, she admits, “I have limited knowledge about reality TV shows in India, so let’s see what life brings.” She reflects on her recent social experiences, stating, “Recently I have been to a few places, socialising here was sheer fun, and I was completely comfortable in my own skin, so I guess it naturally turned heads.” This openness suggests a readiness to explore diverse paths as she navigates her fresh start in India.

Organizers Pawan Tank and Kirti Tank shared that the pageant is being organized by India Glam Organization. Over the past five days, grooming sessions were successfully conducted, concluding with this special event. During these sessions, participants received professional training in areas such as ramp walk, personality development, styling, communication skills, diction, and self-confidence by industry experts and professional models from India Glam. They further informed that the grand finale of this prestigious pageant will take place from April 3 to 5 at Anant Mahal, Mansarovar, where talented participants from across the state will showcase their skills. The winners will be awarded three scooters along with numerous other prizes and hampers.

The event was graced by Jagdish Chandra, CMD of First India News, as the Chief Guest. During his one-hour motivational session, he interacted with the top semifinalists, encouraged them, and extended his best wishes. He emphasized that dedication, patience, and consistent hard work are essential for achieving success in today’s competitive world. He advised avoiding shortcuts and following the path of honesty and integrity for long-term success.

He also highlighted the importance of women’s safety, stating that such platforms provide a safe and empowering environment where participants can grow with confidence. He further remarked that the very first season of Blackrock Miss Glam Rajasthan is already creating history with its grand scale, which is a matter of pride for Rajasthan.

The event concluded on a high note, filled with enthusiasm, energy, and growing excitement for the upcoming grand finale.

• The rapid rise of weight-loss injections like Ozempic and Wegovy is changing the landscape of obesity management.
• Young Indians are increasingly considering these medical interventions as an alternative to traditional exercise and diet.
• Experts caution against viewing injections as a standalone solution, emphasizing the irreplaceable benefits of a balanced lifestyle.

The quest for faster results in weight management has introduced a new player into the wellness arena: weight-loss injections. Medications, notably GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Ozempic and Wegovy, originally developed for diabetes, are now gaining significant popularity for their profound effects on weight reduction. This surge in interest has sparked a critical question among young Indians: are these injections poised to replace the conventional gym routine?

The Allure of the 'Quick Fix'

For a generation accustomed to instant gratification, the appeal of weight-loss injections is undeniable. These medications work by mimicking a gut hormone that regulates appetite and satiety, leading to reduced food intake and significant weight loss. With India positioned to become a major producer of affordable generics, their accessibility is set to expand, potentially reshaping how obesity is tackled globally.

Many young individuals, navigating demanding schedules and high-pressure lifestyles, find the promise of substantial weight loss without strenuous gym hours highly attractive. The efficacy demonstrated in clinical trials has fueled a perception that these injections offer a shortcut, a way to bypass the consistent effort traditionally required for weight management.

The Enduring Role of Physical Activity

While injections can be a powerful tool for weight loss, particularly for those with clinical obesity, medical professionals are quick to point out that they are not a substitute for physical activity and a balanced diet. Exercise offers a myriad of benefits far beyond calorie burning. It builds muscle mass, which is crucial for metabolism, improves cardiovascular health, enhances mood, reduces stress, and strengthens bones.

A lifestyle incorporating regular physical activity fosters discipline and mental resilience – qualities that injections alone cannot provide. The gym, or any form of consistent movement, contributes holistically to well-being, addressing aspects of health that medication simply cannot replicate.

Navigating Risks and Long-Term Implications

The increasing use of these injections, sometimes without proper medical supervision, raises concerns. Side effects can range from nausea and constipation to more severe issues like pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. Furthermore, questions persist regarding the long-term effects and the potential for weight regain once the injections are stopped, especially if not coupled with sustainable lifestyle changes.

For young Indians, making an informed decision is paramount. The temptation of a quick solution must be weighed against the potential risks and the understanding that true health is a multifaceted journey. Relying solely on medication without addressing dietary habits and physical activity could lead to an incomplete or unsustainable approach to health. It is in this context that organizations, much like Marwadi University, ignite meaningful conversations on Gen Z’s integral role in the world's youngest democracy, including their health choices.

A Balanced Perspective for a Healthier Future

Experts advocate for an integrated approach where weight-loss injections, if deemed medically appropriate, serve as an adjunct to, rather than a replacement for, a healthy lifestyle. This means combining medication with a nutritionist-guided diet and a structured exercise regimen. For young Indians, who are at the cusp of shaping their lifelong health habits, understanding this distinction is crucial.

The goal should always be sustainable health, not just temporary weight loss. Before considering any medical intervention, consulting a qualified doctor and understanding the full spectrum of options, benefits, and potential drawbacks is essential. True wellness emerges from a balanced combination of diet, exercise, and, where necessary, judicious medical support.

The inauguration ceremony is expected to witness the presence of distinguished spiritual leaders and public figures, including Shri Rakesh Prabhu Ji of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission and Shri Vishal Baba Ji, Head Priest of Shrinathji Temple. Invitations have also been extended to prominent dignitaries such as Hon’ble Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Chief Minister of Rajasthan.

The statue portrays Lord Hanuman in a serene “Seva Bhav” posture, symbolising humility and eternal devotion to Shrinath Ji Bhagwan. Rooted in traditional belief, it is said that Lord Hanuman accompanied Lord Shiva when Shrinath Ji arrived in Nathdwara—an idea that finds artistic expression in this installation, completing a symbolic spiritual continuum.

Positioned atop Giriraj Parvat at an elevation of approximately 500 feet above road level, the statue commands a panoramic presence overlooking the temple town. Its strategic placement opposite the Shrinath Ji Temple enhances its spiritual relevance while offering devotees a holistic pilgrimage experience.

From an engineering standpoint, the project stands as a remarkable achievement. The 131-foot structure, weighing approximately 170 tons, was constructed over three years, from 2023 to March 2026. It incorporates a robust steel framework combined with advanced metallic composition and glass fibre reinforcement, ensuring durability and structural integrity.

The project’s structural design and wind analysis were conducted under the guidance of renowned engineer Shri Sharad Gupta, known for his expertise in large-scale installations. A specialized coating system—developed through international research and sourcing materials from countries such as Thailand—has been applied to withstand extreme weather conditions while preserving the statue’s aesthetic appeal.

The initiative brought together a multidisciplinary team comprising 40 skilled artisans led by Naresh Kumawat, along with over 40 technical experts and workers. One of the most significant logistical challenges was transporting materials to the hilltop site. To address this, a custom track-based transportation system was engineered, demonstrating innovation and precision planning.

This installation is expected to significantly enhance the spiritual and tourism appeal of Nathdwara. By integrating the presence of Shrinath Ji, Lord Shiva, and Lord Hanuman within a single sacred geography, it offers devotees a deeper and more immersive religious experience.

Beyond its religious importance, the project is anticipated to drive economic growth in the region by boosting pilgrimage tourism, generating employment opportunities, and positioning Nathdwara as a global spiritual destination. Drawing comparisons to iconic landmarks such as the Jakhu Temple in Shimla, the Hanuman statue is poised to become a defining symbol of Rajasthan’s cultural identity.

About Naresh Kumawat

Naresh Kumawat is an internationally recognised sculptor with over three decades of experience. His portfolio includes monumental works across India and more than 30 countries. Among his notable achievements is the creation of the Statue of Belief (Vishwas Swaroopam), the world’s tallest statue of Lord Shiva, along with contributions to India’s New Parliament Building and the Supreme Court. His works continue to blend spiritual depth with artistic and engineering excellence.

According to the directive issued by the state government, district administrations have been instructed to assess the impact of the unseasonal rainfall on standing crops and agricultural infrastructure. Officials have been asked to carry out field inspections, gather accurate data from affected villages, and prepare a detailed evaluation to help determine appropriate relief measures.

The state government emphasized that the objective of the survey is to ensure that farmers who have suffered crop losses receive timely and adequate assistance. District collectors have been directed to coordinate with agriculture departments and local revenue officials to complete the assessment efficiently and transparently.

In a public statement, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma acknowledged the hardships faced by farmers due to the adverse weather conditions. He stated that farmers are the backbone of Rajasthan’s prosperity and that the government stands firmly with them during this challenging time.

“The prosperity of Rajasthan rests on the strength and hard work of our farmers. The state government is fully sensitive and responsible toward their concerns and stands firmly by their side,” Sharma said in his statement.

The Chief Minister further assured that providing prompt and appropriate assistance to every affected farmer is the government’s top priority. He reiterated that the administration remains committed to supporting farmers and ensuring that relief measures reach them as quickly as possible.

Unseasonal rainfall in several districts has reportedly caused damage to crops ready for harvest as well as those still in the growth stage. Farmers in many regions have expressed concerns over potential financial losses due to waterlogging and crop deterioration.

Agricultural experts note that sudden weather fluctuations during critical crop cycles can have serious consequences for yield and income. For many farmers, even minor weather disturbances during harvesting periods can significantly affect their annual earnings.

The state government’s decision to initiate rapid surveys is aimed at establishing an accurate picture of the situation on the ground. The collected data will likely be used to determine compensation packages, relief distribution, and potential policy responses to support the affected agricultural communities.

Officials have also been instructed to ensure that the survey process remains transparent and inclusive, taking into account the concerns raised by farmers at the village level. The administration is expected to work closely with local authorities to ensure that no affected farmer is left out during the evaluation process.

Meanwhile, farmers’ organizations across the state have welcomed the government’s move to conduct an immediate assessment. They have urged authorities to complete the surveys swiftly and provide compensation to farmers whose livelihoods have been impacted.

As Rajasthan continues to experience unpredictable weather patterns, the government’s focus remains on safeguarding the interests of farmers and strengthening mechanisms for disaster response in the agricultural sector.

The state administration is expected to review the survey reports soon after submission and announce necessary relief measures based on the extent of the damage identified in various districts.

Their ability to adapt quickly to evolving industry standards and government policies has also proven crucial. India’s ambitious push for large-scale projects, such as the National Infrastructure Pipeline, demands partners with proven capabilities. Dhruv Consultancy Services has consistently risen to this challenge.

Impact on India's Infrastructure Development

India's infrastructure sector is currently witnessing unprecedented growth, fueled by substantial government investments and increasing private sector participation. Companies like Dhruv Consultancy Services are pivotal in providing the technical and strategic expertise necessary for executing these large-scale projects efficiently.

This achievement by Dhruv Consultancy Services not only celebrates their individual success but also reflects a broader trend. Indian firms are enhancing their capabilities and competing effectively on both national and, increasingly, international stages. India's infrastructure push also aligns with its broader economic goals, creating new investment opportunities. For instance, understanding market dynamics is crucial, a topic often explored when discussing new ventures like an IPO from firms like Tipco Engineering India Limited.

Solidifying Future Prospects

The 6th position reinforces the company's stature for future endeavors and potential partnerships. This recognition is expected to open new avenues and opportunities for Dhruv Consultancy Services, further cementing its role as a key contributor to India’s developmental narrative.

Such industry acknowledgment is invaluable in a sector where trust and proven delivery are paramount. It reassures stakeholders and potential collaborators of the company's robust operational framework and ethical practices.

• CDSL and KPMG in India have released a joint report advocating for a data-led transformation of India's securities market.
• The report introduces a '3C' framework: Collaboration, Consumption, and Compliance, to drive this change.
• The initiative aims to enhance investor protection, market integrity, and operational efficiency through advanced data analytics.

Mumbai: A significant new report from CDSL, India's largest depository, and KPMG in India is advocating for a profound data-led transformation within the nation's securities market. The joint publication underlines the critical need for leveraging data analytics to bolster market integrity, enhance investor protection, and streamline operational efficiencies across the financial ecosystem.

Released recently, the report identifies an opportune moment for India's capital markets to embrace digital advancements. It points towards the immense potential of data to inform policy, manage risks, and foster innovation in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.

The Proposed '3C' Framework for Market Evolution

At the core of the report's recommendations is the innovative '3C' framework, designed to guide market participants and regulators alike. This framework emphasizes three crucial pillars for successful data integration and utilization:

Collaboration: Unlocking Synergies

The first 'C' – Collaboration – highlights the imperative for greater synergy among various market entities. This includes depositories, stock exchanges, clearing corporations, brokers, and regulatory bodies. The report suggests that sharing insights and data responsibly can lead to more robust risk management systems and a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics. This collective approach is seen as vital for creating a unified and resilient market infrastructure.

Consumption: Driving Data Utilization

The second 'C' focuses on Consumption, stressing the need for effective utilization of the vast amounts of data generated within the securities market. The report calls for advanced analytical tools and skilled professionals who can interpret complex datasets to derive actionable intelligence. This includes identifying market manipulation patterns, assessing systemic risks, and understanding investor behavior to tailor better services and regulatory interventions. As India's financial markets continue to expand, with increasing investor participation, the ability to consume and interpret data becomes paramount.

Compliance: Strengthening Regulatory Oversight

Compliance, the third 'C', underscores the role of data in strengthening regulatory oversight and ensuring adherence to market regulations. By employing data analytics, regulators like SEBI can move towards a more proactive and predictive enforcement model. This involves real-time monitoring of transactions, automated detection of anomalies, and improved reporting mechanisms, ultimately leading to a more transparent and fair market environment for all participants. This push for data-led compliance is crucial for safeguarding the interests of millions of investors.

Impact on India's Growing Financial Landscape

The CDSL–KPMG report arrives at a time when India's securities market is experiencing unprecedented growth. Digital penetration and investor awareness are at an all-time high, prompting a need for infrastructure that can support this expansion securely and efficiently. The recommendations, if implemented, could significantly elevate India's standing in global financial markets.

This call for a data-led transformation resonates with the broader digital India initiative, aiming to harness technology for economic progress. It signals a move towards a future where data is not just an asset but a fundamental driver of market strategy and regulatory action. The insights from this report could reshape how market participants engage with technology and data, influencing everything from trading platforms to compliance frameworks.

The report's findings are expected to prompt discussions among policymakers, market intermediaries, and technology providers on how best to implement these changes, ensuring India's securities market remains robust, dynamic, and globally competitive. The ongoing expansion of public offerings, exemplified by events like the upcoming Tipco Engineering India Limited IPO, further highlights the need for a modern, data-driven market infrastructure.

FAQ

What is the primary objective of the CDSL–KPMG in India report?

The report's main objective is to advocate for a data-led transformation of India’s securities market, aiming to enhance investor protection, market integrity, and operational efficiency through the strategic use of data analytics.

What does the '3C' framework proposed by the report stand for?

The '3C' framework stands for Collaboration, Consumption, and Compliance. These pillars are proposed as essential for guiding market participants and regulators in effectively integrating and utilizing data within the securities market.

• Adi Karnataka royal sub-clans are actively seeking Category 2A OBC classification.
• The move is central to formally reclaiming and recognizing their long-standing warrior heritage.
• Achieving 2A status would unlock critical socio-economic benefits and historical validation for these communities.

A significant movement is gaining momentum within Karnataka as several Adi Karnataka royal sub-clans are intensifying their efforts to secure Category 2A Other Backward Classes (OBC) status. This push is not merely about reservation benefits; it's deeply rooted in a desire to formally reclaim and cement their ancestral warrior heritage, which they contend has been historically overlooked or diluted.

For generations, these sub-clans have preserved oral histories and traditional practices that speak volumes of their martial past and their pivotal roles in various historical kingdoms across the region. Their lineage, they argue, traces back to ancient ruling families and military commanders whose contributions shaped Karnataka's socio-political landscape.

The Quest for Formal Recognition and Social Equity

The demand for Category 2A status holds immense significance. In Karnataka's reservation matrix, the 2A category typically encompasses economically and socially backward communities, granting them quotas in government jobs and educational institutions. For the Adi Karnataka royal sub-clans, this classification is viewed as a crucial step towards both social equity and the formal acknowledgment of their historical identity.

Community leaders and representatives have been actively engaging with state authorities, submitting extensive documentation and historical evidence to support their claims. They highlight that despite their historical prestige, many members of these sub-clans face socio-economic challenges that warrant affirmative action. The reclassification would provide much-needed opportunities for younger generations to access quality education and stable employment, while simultaneously reinforcing their cultural pride.

Reclaiming a Legacy: Beyond Reservations

The narrative surrounding this demand extends far beyond the immediate benefits of reservation. It's a passionate plea to rewrite historical oversight and restore the true identity of these communities. Many feel that the term 'royal' often mischaracterizes their current socio-economic standing, obscuring the struggles faced by many within their ranks.

By securing 2A OBC status, these clans aim to ensure that their 'warrior heritage' is not just a point of pride but also a foundation for future progress and recognition within modern Indian society. Their efforts echo similar movements across the country where communities strive to assert their unique cultural and historical identities while seeking social justice. This pursuit of rights and recognition for various communities is a continuous process, much like the broader conversations around social justice and awareness. It mirrors efforts seen in various parts of the country, such as when Sheena Chohan drove rights awareness in Dharavi on Women’s Day, highlighting the ongoing need to champion community welfare.

Navigating the Policy Labyrinth

The process of reclassifying communities into OBC categories involves rigorous review by the Karnataka State Backward Classes Commission, followed by government approval. This typically entails historical research, socio-economic surveys, and public hearings to assess the eligibility criteria comprehensively. The state government faces the delicate task of balancing historical claims with contemporary socio-economic indicators and legal precedents.

Discussions around such classifications often involve detailed analysis of historical records and the present-day condition of the communities. The legal and policy implications are often debated in academic and judicial circles, similar to panels that analyze complex legal frameworks, such as those that Chandigarh University hosted on repeat players in civil litigation, underscoring the layered nature of such public policy decisions.

FAQ

• What does Category 2A OBC status entail in Karnataka?
  Category 2A OBC status in Karnataka provides reservation benefits in government employment and educational institutions for communities classified as socially and educationally backward.
• Why is 'warrior heritage' important to the Adi Karnataka royal sub-clans?
  Reclaiming their warrior heritage is crucial for these clans as it serves as a formal acknowledgment of their historical contributions, martial lineage, and cultural identity, fostering pride and recognition beyond just socio-economic benefits.

The evening brought together the cast and crew of two of Indian television’s most loved shows—Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Anupamaa—creating an atmosphere filled with warmth, togetherness, and celebration during the holy month of Ramadan.

The gathering witnessed the presence of several well-known faces from the television industry, including Rupali Ganguly, Anita Raj, Sachin Tyagi, Shruti Ulfat, Jaswir Kaur, Adrija Roy, Shivam Khajuria, Samridhii Shukla, Rohit Purohit, and Sikandar Kharbanda, among many others.

The ambiance of the evening reflected the true essence of Iftaar, as the attendees came together to break their fast, share meals, and spend meaningful time bonding beyond their on-screen roles. The beautifully curated Iftaar spread and festive décor further enhanced the celebratory mood, making it a memorable occasion for everyone present.

Speaking about the celebration, Rajan Shahi emphasized the importance of togetherness and gratitude. He shared that such gatherings go beyond rituals and offer an opportunity for the entire team to connect as a family. According to him, the sets of their shows function as a close-knit unit, and occasions like Iftaar allow everyone to pause, reflect, and celebrate collective achievements.

Echoing similar sentiments, Rupali Ganguly expressed how special it feels to celebrate festivals on set. She highlighted that Iftaar symbolizes love, sharing, and gratitude—values that were strongly felt throughout the evening. For her, such moments foster a sense of belonging and make the workplace feel like home.

Anita Raj also reflected on the warmth and positivity that defined the gathering. She noted that celebrations like these allow colleagues to come together beyond work commitments, strengthening bonds and creating lasting memories.

The event concluded on a joyful note, filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and a renewed sense of unity. Once again, Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi successfully created an occasion that not only celebrated a festival but also reinforced the spirit of inclusivity and camaraderie within the television fraternity.

The Iftaar gathering stands as a testament to how cultural celebrations in professional spaces can foster deeper connections, promote harmony, and create an environment where diversity is truly embraced.

The workshop was presided over by Asheesh Pandey, Managing Director and CEO of the bank, in the presence of Nitesh Ranjan. The event witnessed active participation from women executives across departments, highlighting the organization’s focus on inclusive growth and leadership development.

Adding significance to the occasion, Harish Singh Chauhan attended as the Chief Guest. Representing the Government of India’s Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Official Language, Regional Implementation Office, Navi Mumbai, he emphasized the importance of adopting Hindi in official communication to enhance accessibility and efficiency.

The workshop also featured Chitra Desai as the Special Guest, who brought valuable perspectives on language, communication, and empowerment. Her presence underscored the broader cultural and social dimensions of language usage in professional environments.

During the event, several women executives were felicitated for their exemplary contributions toward promoting Hindi and advancing women empowerment initiatives within the bank. This recognition served as a testament to the institution’s efforts in fostering a supportive and progressive work environment.

Discussions during the workshop centered around the growing relevance of Hindi in banking operations, particularly in the context of digital transformation. Participants highlighted that the integration of e-tools and technological resources has made it significantly easier to work in the official language. This shift not only enhances operational efficiency but also improves customer engagement by making services more accessible to a diverse population.

Speakers at the workshop also stressed the importance of mother tongues and regional languages in delivering customer-centric banking services. In a multilingual country like India, leveraging local languages plays a crucial role in building trust and improving financial inclusion.

Furthermore, the event provided a platform to discuss women’s leadership development in the banking sector. Executives shared insights on adapting to the evolving banking landscape, emphasizing the need for continuous learning, collaboration, and innovation. The importance of coordination in work culture was also highlighted as a key factor in achieving organizational goals.

The “Women Special Hindi Workshop” reflects Union Bank of India’s broader vision of integrating language, technology, and inclusivity to create a more effective and equitable banking ecosystem. By aligning its initiatives with national priorities and social values, the bank continues to set a benchmark in promoting both linguistic diversity and gender empowerment.

Speaking about the dynamic nature of the entertainment world, Shivangi emphasizes that reinvention is no longer optional. “In an industry that is constantly evolving, reinvention isn’t just important, it’s everything,” she says. With audiences now exposed to a vast array of content across platforms, their expectations have significantly shifted. According to her, viewers today have shorter attention spans and the freedom to switch between genres and formats within seconds.

She explains that sticking to a single image or repeating the same type of roles can quickly lead to stagnation. “If you aren’t evolving, you’re basically standing still while the rest of the world zooms past you,” she notes. This reality, she believes, makes it essential for artists to continuously challenge themselves and explore new creative territories.

Reflecting on her own journey, Shivangi reveals that there was a point when she consciously chose to step outside her comfort zone. While television gave her recognition and immense audience love, she began to feel creatively restricted. “I was getting too comfortable in the TV bubble,” she shares, adding that the repetitive nature of daily soaps started to limit her artistic growth. “It felt like I was doing the same expressions and scenes over and over again,” she admits.

This realization led her to explore opportunities in the OTT space, where storytelling often allows for more nuanced and layered characters. Shivangi says her transition was driven by a desire to portray roles that are “flawed, messy, and real,” rather than idealized, one-dimensional personas. This shift not only broadened her acting range but also helped her connect with audiences in a more authentic way.

For Shivangi, reinvention is not merely about external changes such as new looks or genres—it is an internal process of self-discovery. “It’s 100% about rediscovering yourself,” she explains. She believes that genuine transformation begins within and naturally reflects in one’s work. “You can’t change how people see you until you change how you see yourself,” she adds, highlighting the importance of personal growth in shaping professional identity.

However, breaking away from a familiar image comes with its own set of challenges. Shivangi acknowledges that audiences often take time to accept actors in new avatars. “It’s a constant battle,” she says, noting that resistance to change is a common hurdle in the industry. Despite this, she remains firm in her belief that persistence and resilience are key. “You have to keep pushing and have thick skin,” she adds.

Summing up her philosophy, Shivangi stresses the importance of staying grounded while continuing to evolve. “Stay curious and hungry, but never lose your core,” she concludes. Her journey serves as a reminder that in today’s competitive entertainment landscape, growth and reinvention are not just strategies—they are necessities.

Mumbai's luxury real estate landscape continues its upward trajectory with the recent announcement from Ekta World, a renowned name in property development.

This new development is set to offer an unparalleled living experience, blending modern architectural design with sophisticated interiors. Developers highlight the project's focus on creating spacious, well-appointed residences designed to cater to the elite segment of homebuyers seeking comfort, privacy, and exclusivity.

A Prime Location: Proximity to Pali Hill

The Paris presentation marks a deliberate and confident step in WforWoman’s international journey. By moving from New York to Paris, the label is steadily building a presence that positions modern Indian ethnic design as a serious contender in the global fashion dialogue. The showcase moved away from traditional notions of costume or heavy couture, instead bringing accessible, high-street-ready ethnic wear — rooted in Indian craftsmanship yet crafted for today’s lifestyles — onto an international platform long dominated by Western and high-fashion houses.

Anant Daga, Chief Executive Officer of the TCNS Division at Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd., described the moment as both powerful and deeply symbolic. “This runway showcase marks a significant milestone not only for our brand but for Indian fashion,” he said. “For years, we have been redefining how the world perceives Indian ethnic wear, blending tradition with modernity to create fashion that resonates with the modern Indian woman. Seeing our silhouettes presented on the runway in Paris is both powerful and deeply meaningful… bringing our collections to Paris represents a natural progression and reinforces our belief that Indian design, storytelling, and style have a rightful place in the global fashion conversation. And we are only getting started.”

The curated runway presentation highlighted four distinct capsules, each reflecting how Indian women dress and celebrate in the present day. “Poetic Reverie: Summer Weddings” featured soft pastels, ethereal silhouettes, and delicate embellishments that evoked romance and timeless grace for seasonal ceremonies. “Pristine Summer” offered clean bicolour palettes with refined surface details, delivering polished yet light looks suited to daytime elegance with a global appeal.

“Youthful Celebration” brought energy through vibrant prints, playful embellishments, flowing capes, and charming accessories, capturing the joy of festive moments with a fresh, contemporary twist. Finally, “Holiday: The Indian Way” reimagined resort dressing with relaxed silhouettes, vivid prints, and graphic accents — effortless pieces designed for seaside getaways, city strolls, and carefree summer escapes.

Across all themes, the collection balanced heritage techniques — intricate embroidery, thoughtful draping, and quality fabrics — with modern wearability. The designs flowed seamlessly from occasion wear to vacation wardrobes, demonstrating how Indian ethnic fashion can adapt to diverse settings without losing its cultural identity.

WforWoman’s Paris debut arrives at a time when global audiences are increasingly open to diverse cultural narratives and crossovers in fashion. By asserting that contemporary Indian wear belongs alongside international luxury and ready-to-wear labels, the brand is helping shift perceptions and expand the definition of global style. The presence on the Paris runway sends a clear signal: Indian fashion is no longer content to remain regional — it is actively shaping international trends.

The Spring-Summer 2026 collection unveiled in Paris is now available at WforWoman stores across India and on the brand’s official website, www.wforwoman.com. This immediate accessibility allows customers in India and internationally to experience the runway-inspired pieces firsthand.

For a brand that has consistently championed the modern Indian woman’s wardrobe — one that honours tradition while embracing ease, versatility, and individuality — the Paris showcase represents both validation and momentum. As WforWoman continues its global ascent, it carries forward a larger story: that Indian design, when thoughtfully reinterpreted, can stand tall on the world’s most influential stages and speak fluently in the language of contemporary fashion.

The event brought together an impressive lineup of legal practitioners and scholars from India and the United Kingdom. Speakers included Lakhvir Singh, a Solicitor at Alexander & Co Solicitors LLP in Nottingham, UK; Gurprit Mattu, a Commercial Litigation Barrister and Mediator based in London; Manish Jain and Aman Pal, both Senior Advocates at the Punjab and Haryana High Court; and Prof (Dr) Ashutosh Hajela, Executive Director of UILS. The discussion was moderated by Amanat Kahlon, Assistant Professor at UILS.

The core theme centred on how frequent engagement with the legal system gives institutional litigants distinct advantages — deeper procedural knowledge, better risk assessment, stronger legal teams, and greater financial staying power — often placing ordinary citizens at a structural disadvantage. Panellists explored whether existing rules and emerging practices can effectively level the playing field.

Lakhvir Singh, drawing from his experience in the UK jurisdiction, explained that repeat litigants typically develop sharper pre-litigation strategies. “They are generally more aware of when it is sensible to proceed with litigation and when it may be more appropriate to resolve a dispute outside court,” he said. He emphasised, however, that once a case enters court, outcomes hinge on the merits, evidence, and legal arguments rather than prior experience alone. The UK’s Civil Procedure Rules, he noted, apply uniformly and aim to ensure predictability and fairness for all parties.

Gurprit Mattu highlighted the growing preference for early mediation, particularly in commercial matters. “Early mediation can level the playing field because neither party has yet incurred heavy legal costs,” he observed. He pointed to the high cost risks in English litigation — where even a victorious party may recover only a portion of expenses — as a key driver behind the rise of mediation. Unlike arbitration or full court proceedings, mediation often resolves disputes in a single session or short timeframe, preserving business relationships and reducing expense.

From the Indian perspective, Senior Advocate Manish Jain described the practical burdens faced by individual litigants. Prolonged proceedings, multiple appeals, and the need for separate execution actions after winning can overwhelm private parties, while institutional opponents have the resources to sustain long battles. Jain suggested that courts imposing meaningful costs on parties pursuing frivolous claims could help deter unnecessary litigation and ease pressure on the judicial system.

Echoing the strategic dimension, Senior Advocate Aman Pal remarked that repeated exposure to litigation sharpens an understanding of risk mitigation and cost control. “Repeat or institutional litigants… often develop a clearer understanding of these aspects,” he said, enabling more informed decisions about whether to litigate or settle.

Prof (Dr) Ashutosh Hajela, summarising the session’s value, described the deliberations as “highly insightful and fruitful.” He highlighted key takeaways: the importance of promoting mediation, reducing unnecessary court battles, and pursuing institutional reforms to improve access to justice. He noted strong appreciation from students, young lawyers, faculty, and other attendees, underlining how such platforms connect classroom theory with courtroom realities.

By hosting this discussion during India International Disputes Week 2026, Chandigarh University reinforced its commitment to fostering dialogue on contemporary legal challenges and equipping future lawyers with practical, policy-oriented perspectives. The event also contributed to broader national efforts to position India as a trusted centre for efficient, fair, and internationally respected dispute resolution — whether through litigation, arbitration, or mediation. As institutional litigants continue to dominate dockets in many jurisdictions, conversations like this remain essential for identifying safeguards that protect the rights and realities of ordinary citizens within the justice system.

The conference, organized by B-Hive — the Birla Hub for Innovation, Venturing & Entrepreneurship under the Birla School of Management — drew collaboration from the Earl V. Snyder Innovation Management Center at Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management (USA) and Mid-West University in Surkhet, Nepal. This partnership underscored a shared focus on practical innovation that emerges from everyday needs rather than high-end resources.

In his welcome address, Dr. Suvendu Kumar Pratihari, Assistant Professor of Marketing & Entrepreneurship and Conference Chair, stressed the real-world value of grassroots and frugal approaches. He noted how these innovations often arise from necessity in resource-scarce settings, offering affordable answers with potential to scale beyond borders.

Prof. Kulbhushan Balooni, Vice-Chancellor of Birla Global University, reinforced the university's long-term vision. He pointed to India's deep history of grassroots ingenuity — from rural problem-solvers to everyday tinkerers — and how it continues to influence both local progress and broader global conversations on sustainable growth.

The event opened with Prof. Dhruba Kumar Gautam, Vice-Chancellor of Mid-West University, Nepal, as Chief Guest. Among the prominent voices were Prof. Anand Kumar Jaiswal from IIM Ahmedabad, Prof. S.P. Raj from Syracuse University, and Rajat Vardhan, founder and CEO of ScaNxt Scientific Technologies Pvt Ltd. Their sessions delved into frugal thinking and its role in emerging markets.

A key highlight came early when Birla Global University and Mid-West University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The agreement aims to deepen ties through faculty and student exchanges, joint research projects, and collaborative efforts in entrepreneurship. Such partnerships are vital for cross-border knowledge sharing, especially in fields like innovation for inclusive development.

The conference featured focused technical discussions on building sustainable innovation systems, climate-resilient agriculture, and expanding grassroots ideas for wider economic inclusion. These sessions provided space for honest exchange on what works — and what doesn't — when turning local fixes into lasting impact.

Adding energy to the program was the Idea2Impact Bootcamp and Innovation Showcase, designed to spark student involvement in entrepreneurship. The bootcamp saw enthusiastic participation from 83 student ventures, who presented pitch decks and competed in challenges meant to sharpen real-world business skills.

The showcase itself featured 20 startups alongside two grassroots innovators, all displaying working prototypes. These ranged from cost-effective tools addressing daily problems in health, agriculture, and environment to clever hacks that deliver results without heavy investment. Participants demonstrated how necessity-driven creativity can produce solutions that are not only affordable but also adaptable to diverse contexts.

By hosting GFI 2026, Birla Global University has reinforced its role as a catalyst in Odisha's innovation journey. The event connected academic insight with on-the-ground action, while the new MoU with Mid-West University opens doors for ongoing cooperation. As emerging economies continue searching for equitable paths to progress, gatherings like this remind us that some of the most powerful answers often start small — in local communities with limited means but unlimited determination.

The conference closed on a note of optimism, with calls for continued support to such initiatives that bridge theory and practice, ultimately benefiting society at large.

The image shows the two actresses smiling warmly together—a simple yet meaningful frame taken amid the excitement surrounding the Academy Awards. At the time, Chohan was in the city working on her Hollywood project Nomad, an upcoming adventure-drama directed by Taron Lexton (known for contributions to major franchises like Mission: Impossible). The chance encounter on Sunset Boulevard left a lasting impression on the internationally trained performer.

In her accompanying note, Chohan expressed deep admiration for Priyanka’s journey. She highlighted how the global icon has consistently portrayed strong, empowered women characters with professionalism and versatility, seamlessly bridging Bollywood and Hollywood. “I am so proud seeing Priyanka make India proud on the global stage,” Chohan wrote. “Meeting her and sharing how much I admire her dedication… was truly inspiring. For many Indian actors, she is a powerful example of how talent and determination can break boundaries. Watching her succeed globally makes every Indian feel proud.”

The post, shared via Instagram, ties directly to Priyanka’s recent appearance as a presenter at the Oscars—specifically for the Best International Feature Film category. That moment underscored the increasing recognition of diverse storytelling and international cinema on the world’s most prestigious stage. For Chohan, witnessing Priyanka in that role amplified the sense of national pride and served as a beacon for aspiring artists from India.

Trained in theatre and with experience spanning Indian cinema, pan-Indian projects, and international ventures, she has built a reputation for emotionally resonant performances. Her work in the Hindi film Sant Tukaram earned widespread praise for its transformative depth, with critics and audiences noting the emotional weight she brought to the screen.

Looking ahead, Chohan continues to expand her footprint. Nomad marks her Hollywood debut, while upcoming projects include the Telugu film Jhatasya Maranam Dhruvam, the web series Bhayava, and the Tamil production Arjunain Allirani. Beyond acting, she actively serves as a South Asia Ambassador for Human Rights, blending her artistic voice with advocacy for meaningful change.

The resurfaced photograph has sparked warm reactions online, circulating as a gentle reminder of the shared aspirations uniting Indian performers on the international scene. In an industry often defined by competition, moments like these highlight mutual respect and collective pride. Chohan’s words capture that spirit perfectly—celebrating not just individual success, but the doors it opens for others following similar paths.

As Indian talent continues gaining prominence worldwide, stories like this one serve as quiet affirmations: persistence, authenticity, and representation matter. They inspire the next generation to dream bigger, knowing that boundaries are meant to be crossed—one determined step, and one inspiring encounter, at a time.

Show Director Kirti Tank stated that the competition will serve as a strong platform to identify new talents from Rajasthan and help them move forward in the fashion and modeling industry. Around 1500 models from different cities of Rajasthan participated in the audition, following the black one-piece dress code.

She further informed that the selected semifinalists will undergo a five-day special grooming workshop, after which the finalists will take part in a three-day Grand Finale event.

The Nari Astitva Award was presented during a special ceremony organized by GSILEDU Society in collaboration with social organizations Maa Sita Rasoi, Neki Ki Raah, and Sanatan Path. The award celebrates women who have demonstrated exceptional dedication toward social transformation and have played a significant role in empowering communities.

Shanaya Sharma has been actively involved in several initiatives aimed at improving the lives of women, promoting education, and encouraging social responsibility. Her work has been widely appreciated for creating awareness about women's rights, supporting underprivileged communities, and strengthening the role of women in society.

Expressing her gratitude after receiving the honor, Shanaya Sharma said she feels deeply humbled to receive such a meaningful recognition. She acknowledged the organizations behind the initiative and emphasized the importance of collective efforts in building a more inclusive and supportive society.

"I am truly honored and grateful to receive the Nari Astitva Award 2026. It is a privilege to be associated with organizations that are continuously working toward the betterment of society and empowering women across the country," she stated.

Sharma also expressed her appreciation to Jagat Guru Rambhadracharya Ji and Dr. Gaurav Sharma, President of GSILEDU Society, for their commitment to promoting cultural, social, and humanitarian values. She highlighted that their dedication to social welfare and community service has inspired many individuals to actively participate in nation-building initiatives.

"Their relentless efforts to preserve cultural values and promote social service are truly inspiring. I feel honored to contribute to these initiatives and support the vision of empowering communities," Sharma added.

The award ceremony was organized under the guidance of Acharya Ramchandrdas Ji Maharaj, who served as the event organizer. The program was further graced by the presence of distinguished spiritual leaders and dignitaries.

The event’s Chief Guests included Shri Chitra Vichitra Bihari Das Ji Maharaj, a renowned devotional singer and spiritual personality, and Shrimad Jagadguru Bhaiyya Ji Maharaj (Ballabhgarh Wale), both of whom shared inspiring messages on social responsibility, cultural values, and the importance of uplifting women in society.

The Nari Astitva Award aims to recognize women who have made a meaningful impact through their social work, leadership, and commitment to creating positive change. By honoring individuals like Shanaya Sharma, the organizers seek to encourage more people to contribute toward social welfare and gender equality.

Shanaya Sharma’s recognition reflects the growing importance of grassroots activism and the role of social leaders in shaping a more equitable society. Her continued efforts in advocating women's empowerment and supporting humanitarian initiatives serve as an inspiration for many.

The organizers congratulated Shanaya Sharma on her achievement and expressed confidence that she will continue her mission of serving society and empowering women through impactful initiatives in the years to come.

The event carried added significance because of its timing. The team deliberately aligned the unveiling with Women’s Day to honour the strong, central female characters who drive much of the emotional core in the Rabb Da Radio franchise. The newly released poster captures the same warmth, family-centric values, and heartfelt Punjabi essence that made the earlier films connect so deeply with audiences across generations.

Leading the cast are Tarsem Jassar and Nimrat Khaira, two of the most recognised names in contemporary Punjabi entertainment. Both bring established popularity from their music and acting careers, raising expectations for how their on-screen chemistry will shape the third instalment of the beloved series.

Vehli Janta Films presents the project, with Manpreet Singh Johal serving as producer. Harry Bhatti directs the film, while Jaypee Singh handles cinematography. The press conference saw attendance from several key cast members who form the rich ensemble supporting the leads. Among those present were veteran actors Nirmal Rishi, Ronak Joshi, Jatinder Kaur, Sunita Dhir, Seema Kaushal, Gurpreet Bhangu, Rupinder Rupi, Satwant Kaur, Pawan Johal, Kulbir Virk, Amanjot Amu, Sanshi, and Apneet Bajwa. Their participation underscored the film’s commitment to portraying layered family dynamics and community stories.

The Rabb Da Radio series has built a loyal following over the years by blending romance, drama, village life, and timeless Punjabi traditions without relying on excessive glamour or formulaic twists. Fans appreciate its grounded storytelling and emotional authenticity. With Rabb Da Radio 3, the makers appear intent on preserving that signature tone while introducing fresh faces and perspectives.

The simultaneous release of the poster and the first track has already started conversations online and within Punjabi film circles. The visuals and music snippet suggest continuity in the franchise’s focus on love, gratitude, relationships, and cultural roots—elements that have consistently resonated in Punjab and its diaspora.

As the theatrical release date of 3 April 2026 draws closer, anticipation is steadily rising. Punjabi audiences, who have long embraced family-oriented narratives, are looking forward to another chapter that promises to deliver both nostalgia and emotional depth.

The thoughtful decision to mark International Women’s Day with this launch not only paid tribute to women’s contributions on and off screen but also reinforced the film’s central message of respect, family, and enduring bonds. For now, with the first visuals and sound out in the open, Rabb Da Radio 3 has successfully captured attention and set the stage for what many expect to be one of the standout Punjabi releases of the year.

A major outcome of the conclave was broad support for the Odisha University Compact, a proposed federated framework designed to foster cooperation among institutions while preserving each one's autonomy. Under this model, universities could share academic resources, facilitate faculty exchanges, and establish interdisciplinary working groups. Students would gain greater flexibility by earning credits across partner institutions, enabling a more modular and personalized higher education experience.

The Compact aligns closely with the Ekalavya Model, which blends AI-driven innovations with modern pedagogical methods such as project-based and portfolio-based learning. This approach recognizes incremental achievements through micro-credentials, allowing students to accumulate credits from short modules and practical tasks. Proponents argue these elements modernize conventional systems by prioritizing skill development, collaboration, and continuous academic growth in an AI-influenced landscape.

The program featured technical insights and forward-looking perspectives from key speakers. Dr. Manohar Swaminathan, Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research India, led workshops on the Pluriversity Compact concept and introduced participants to advanced Agentic AI systems. He explored their potential to transform curricula design and create more adaptive, personalized learning environments that respond to individual student needs.

Deewakar Gupta from KPMG India provided context on the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding AI applications in education and the workforce, highlighting compliance challenges and opportunities for responsible adoption.

Academic voices included Prof. Rangin P. Tripathy, Registrar at National Law University Odisha; Prof. Sridevi Guda, Pro-Vice Chancellor at Centurion University of Technology and Management; and Dr. Sanjay Kuanar, Dean of the School of Engineering at BGU. Industry perspectives came from Puspak Patro, CEO of Dynamicweb (Singapore), and Dr. Saiprasanna Behera of CRO Pharma Trendz, who stressed the growing demand for AI-literate graduates and the necessity of tighter academia-industry linkages to align curricula with real-world skill requirements.

The day also celebrated student innovation through the “Agents for Academia” Hackathon award ceremony, where participants showcased creative AI applications aimed at improving various aspects of the education ecosystem—from administrative efficiency to inclusive classroom tools.

The conclave wrapped up with the establishment of a dedicated collaborative working group tasked with translating these ideas into actionable reforms. This initiative positions Birla Global University to lead efforts in building a research-oriented, AI-integrated education system that remains competitive and responsive to future demands.

By bringing together diverse stakeholders—academics, researchers, regulators, and industry professionals—the event underscored a shared recognition: AI is no longer a distant disruptor but an active force requiring thoughtful, collective adaptation in Odisha's higher education sector. The steps initiated here could set a regional precedent for collaborative, technology-enabled learning models across India.

“Real progress begins when young people feel confident enough to speak up about equality,” Sheena said during the interactions. “Women’s Day reminds us that empowerment is not only about celebration—it’s about awareness, courage, and creating spaces where girls and boys grow up believing that respect and safety are fundamental values.”

A key part of the day’s program took place in collaboration with The Dharavi Dream Project, a youth-led creative learning initiative that uses hip-hop, music, dance, and storytelling to build confidence and community voice among Dharavi’s young residents. Bringing together students and emerging performers, the session explored how creative expression can serve as a powerful tool to discuss equality, challenge stereotypes, and amplify marginalized perspectives within densely populated urban neighbourhoods.

Later, Sheena conducted and supported a focused seminar with Udayan Care, an organisation long active in providing education, mentorship, and life-skills support to vulnerable children and youth, many of whom are growing up without stable family environments. The seminar emphasised practical knowledge of rights, the importance of self-advocacy, and pathways to independent, dignified futures.

Throughout the day’s activities, the underlying message remained consistent: International Women’s Day should be more than symbolic. For Sheena, it is an occasion to plant seeds of awareness and courage—especially among adolescent girls and boys—so they internalise the belief that equality and personal safety are non-negotiable rights, not privileges.

By choosing Dharavi as the location for her Women’s Day initiative, Sheena deliberately stepped into a space often associated with economic hardship and limited access to structured education. Her presence, paired with tangible resources and interactive sessions, aimed to counter that narrative by showing young residents that knowledge of rights is itself a form of power.

Observers familiar with her earlier advocacy work note that this approach reflects a consistent pattern: using her public platform to move beyond awareness-raising into direct community action. Whether through educational materials, creative workshops, or structured seminars, the emphasis remains on long-term impact—equipping the next generation with the language, confidence, and understanding needed to claim and protect their rights.

As the day concluded, participants left with more than printed booklets; many carried new questions, fresh perspectives, and the quiet realisation that change often begins in small, intentional conversations held in familiar surroundings.

For Sheena Chohan, the work does not end with one day. She has indicated that initiatives like these are part of a continuing effort to reach young people across different communities, using dialogue, creativity, and education to reinforce the principle that dignity, equality, and human rights belong to everyone—without exception.

A key highlight of the second day, centered on the theme “Youth, Power and Democratic Renewal in the 21st Century”, was the keynote address by Shri Parshottam Rupala, Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha, Rajkot). He reflected on “Youth, Rajkot, and a Life in Democratic Politics,” offering personal and political insights into sustained public service and the evolving role of youth in electoral democracy. 

This was followed by a fireside chat featuring Devyani Devender Singh Rana, Member of Legislative Assembly, Jammu and Kashmir, who discussed leadership in one of India’s most strategic regions and examined generational transition, political responsibility, and youth representation in state politics. Paul Dangshu, MLA from Tripura, highlighted youth leadership emerging from India’s northeastern region.

The primary objective of the two-day conference was to critically analyze the severe underrepresentation of youth in formal political systems both in India and globally. It aimed to identify the institutional barriers preventing youth entry into politics, explore the transition from grassroots and campus activism to formal policymaking, and propose actionable solutions ranging from digital toolkits to structural policy reforms to enhance meaningful civic engagement among the younger generation.

Mr Jeet Marwadi, Trustee, Marwadi University, shared, “While the youth are highly active in digital spaces, campus activism, and grassroots protests, they remain systematically locked out of formal legislative bodies. This two-day event resulted in the recognition of structural barriers limiting youth participation, the need for administrative and technological reforms, the importance of local governance as a site of renewal, and the growing interconnectedness of youth politics across borders.
