Shark Tank India 5: Despite Heavy Criticism From Sharks, How Did Neha Marda Secure MASSIVE Deal From Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal? Details Revealed!

Shark Tank India 5 - Neha Marda, Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal

Sometimes, one bold step is enough to change the game. Balika Vadhu fame Neha Marda did exactly that on Shark Tank India 5. In episode 16, she entered the tank not as a TV star, but as a first-time entrepreneur with a personal story and a clear vision.

Despite facing tough questions and sharp criticism from the sharks, Neha walked away with a big deal that surprised many viewers. Her journey on the show quickly became one of the most talked-about moments this season.

Neha appeared with her two co-founders to pitch Phitku, an alum-based deodorant brand. Alum (also known as fitkari) has been used for years in Ayurveda for its natural deodorising and antiseptic benefits. The team gave this traditional ingredient a modern makeover with stick-format packaging, trendy designs, and different “flavours”.

Neha Marda Gives Emotional Pitch, Faces Tough Questions

What instantly caught attention was Neha Marda’s entry. She began her pitch with a short dance performance to introduce the product. Soon after, she shared a deeply personal experience. Neha revealed that she struggled with strong body odour after pregnancy, which affected her confidence. This challenge inspired her to create a toxin-free, fragrance-free deodorant that offers long-lasting protection.

However, the sharks were not fully convinced. Namita Thapar questioned the Rs 999 price point and openly doubted its appeal in a price-sensitive market. She asked, “India relate kar paayegi?” Anupam Mittal raised concerns about the brand’s messaging and wondered if the “fragrance-free” promise was just a marketing gimmick. He also questioned the idea of offering “flavours” for a scentless product.

Aman Gupta added that deodorants are usually bought for fragrance, making a scent-free version hard to sell. He also asked whether the brand’s popularity was driven by the product or Neha’s celebrity image.

How Neha Marda Still Cracked The Deal On Shark Tank India 5

As the pitch continued, the founders were questioned about numbers, transparency, and the need for water to use the product. These issues led Namita Thapar, Ritesh Agarwal and Amit Jain to opt out of the deal.

Still, Anupam Mittal and Aman Gupta saw potential. While they were unhappy with some inconsistencies, they appreciated the innovation and Neha’s honest personal connection to the brand. After negotiations, the two sharks agreed to invest Rs 1.8 crore each for 1 percent equity per investor, valuing Phitku at Rs 180 crore. The deal also included a 5 percent royalty until Rs 5.4 crore was recovered.

After a quick discussion, the founders accepted the offer. Neha Marda’s brother, who is also a co-founder, sealed the moment by saying, “Deal pakki hai.” The pitchers and investors shook hands, smiled for the cameras and celebrated a win that turned criticism into opportunity on Shark Tank India 5.

Dhirendra Shastri Viral Video: “Gaali Mat De Mata…” Bageshwar Dham Seer Responds Hilariously To Old Lady’s Tantrums, Watch

Dhirendra Shastri Viral Video
Image Credit: Google

Dhirendra Shastri Viral Video: Bageshwar Dham seer Dhirendra Shastri could be seen playing and mocking an old lady in an innocent way. The video has now gone viral and devotees and others on social media are appreciating the way in which Bageshwar Dham seer Dhirendra Shastri is not taking things too heavily.

In a now-viral video, Bageshwar Dham seer Dhirendra Shastri could be seen hilariously mocking an old lady who wants him to invite her to the stage. Shastri repeatedly says he would not invite her to the stage after which the old lady can be seen abusing the seer.

After hearing the bad words, Shastri can be seen telling the old lady not to abuse, still in a hilarious way. Devotees of the Bageshwar Dham seer are appreciating the joyous moments between the lady and Shastri, saying that seers should be playful with their devotees instead of making bad faces and bad mouthing against them.

Dhirendra Shastri In Chitrakoot

A few days back, Dhirendra Shastri had remarked that anyone attacking the Sanatan tradition is not and cannot be a part of the Sanatan dharma. Shastri added those who worship the Sanatan tradition do not create riots in the country. The seer added that he or Hindus are not against Muslims of the country. Shastri said there have been many eminent Muslims like APJ Abdul Kalam, the former President of India.

The seer conducted a four-day Hanuman Katha in Banda, Bundelkhand. Horses, elephants and camels were also seen in the Kalash Yatra. During the Kalash Yatra, thousands of men and women participated and the devotees of Lord Ram were seen dancing beautifully to the tune of drums.

In another development, Shastri reached the home of his Rakhi sisters – Khushboo and Bhavana Rathore, residents of Ward No. 3, Ramganj Mandi.

A few days back, the two sisters had tied a Rakhi, a thread of love and respect between a Hindu brother and sister, on the hand of Shastri. They requested him to visit their home for a cup of tea. Shastri kept his promise and met the two Rakhi sisters.

Delhi Metro Expands Golden Line to Boost South Delhi Connectivity Along Yamuna Riverfront

Delhi Metro

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced an elevated extension of the Golden Line to address the growing travel needs of South Delhi. The new corridor will run from Tughlakabad to Kalindi Kunj, significantly improving connectivity for areas located along the Yamuna riverfront.

3.9-Km Elevated Corridor With Three Stations

The upcoming stretch will cover a total length of 3.9 kilometres and feature three elevated stations. Designed to ease daily commuting, the corridor will connect key locations including Tughlakabad, Madanpur Khadar, and Kalindi Kunj, with operational linkage to the Sarita Vihar Depot. The project is being executed with modern metro infrastructure standards, with Bombardier involved in the rolling stock and system support.

Faster, Safer, and More Convenient Travel

According to DMRC, the Golden Line extension will make travel faster, smoother, and more convenient for thousands of commuters in South Delhi. By offering a reliable public transport alternative, the new route is expected to significantly reduce dependence on private vehicles, thereby easing traffic congestion on major arterial roads.

Relief for Road Traffic and Urban Congestion

One of the major objectives of this expansion is to decongest road traffic in densely populated areas. The metro extension will help balance Delhi’s transport ecosystem by shifting a large number of daily commuters from roads to rail, contributing to reduced travel time and lower vehicular emissions.

Strengthening Yamuna Riverfront Connectivity

The corridor will play a crucial role in enhancing connectivity to Yamuna riverfront settlements, which have long faced mobility challenges. Improved metro access is expected to support better urban integration, boost local development, and improve access to employment, education, and healthcare facilities.

Part of Delhi Metro Ongoing Expansion Drive

The Golden Line extension reflects DMRC’s broader vision of expanding the metro network to underserved areas while maintaining efficiency and sustainability. With continuous upgrades and new corridors, Delhi Metro remains a key pillar in shaping the capital’s future-ready public transport system.

The Tughlakabad–Kalindi Kunj corridor is set to become a vital link in South Delhi, reinforcing Delhi Metro’s reputation as the city’s lifeline and a model for urban mobility in India.

Bhagwant Mann Government Launches Massive Crackdown on Gangsters in Punjab, Records Major Success in 72 Hours

The Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government has launched an aggressive statewide crackdown against gangsters, delivering what officials describe as a historic and exemplary success within just 72 hours. The operation sends a clear and uncompromising message—no gangster will be spared.

Bhagwant Mann: Statewide Police Operation on Unprecedented Scale

As part of the intensive drive, the Punjab Police deployed nearly 12,000 personnel across 2,000 teams, conducting coordinated raids in multiple districts. The operation was aimed at dismantling gangster networks, cutting off their support systems, and restoring public confidence in law and order.

Thousands Detained, Over 3,200 Arrested

During the operation, police detained 4,871 associates of gangsters for questioning and verification. In a major breakthrough, 3,256 accused persons, including 80 absconders, were arrested. Authorities stated that many of those taken into custody were actively involved in criminal activities or provided logistical support to organised gangs.

Weapons, Drugs, and Drug Money Recovered

The crackdown also led to the recovery of 69 illegal weapons, along with a large quantity of narcotics. Police seized drugs and drug money amounting to ₹2.69 lakh, dealing a significant blow to the nexus between gangsters and drug traffickers operating in the state.

Clear Warning to Criminal Elements

The Mann government reiterated that Punjab will not tolerate organised crime under any circumstances. Officials emphasised that this is not a one-time action but part of a sustained strategy to ensure long-term peace and security across the state.

Public Safety at the Centre of Governance

The operation reflects the government’s commitment to making Punjab safer for its people. By targeting gangsters and their entire ecosystem—from shooters to financiers and helpers—the administration aims to dismantle criminal networks completely rather than addressing crimes in isolation.

Campaign to Continue

The Punjab Police have indicated that similar intelligence-led operations will continue in the coming days. The state government has made it clear that the fight against gangsters, drugs, and organised crime will remain a top priority.

With this decisive action, the Bhagwant Mann government has reinforced its stance of zero tolerance against crime, marking a strong step towards a more secure Punjab.

Welcome To The Jungle Release Date Revealed: Fans Disappointed As Akshay Kumar Starrer Finalises June 2026 – Here’s Why!

Welcome To The Jungle Release Date Disappoints Akshay Kumar fans

The makers of Welcome To The Jungle have finally announced the film’s release date. However, the news has received mixed reactions from fans. On Tuesday, the team confirmed that the Akshay Kumar-led comedy will release in cinemas on June 26, 2026. While the announcement created excitement, many fans were unhappy with the chosen date.

Directed by Ahmed Khan, Welcome To The Jungle went on floors in December 2023. It is the third film in the popular Welcome franchise. The release date was announced with a group picture of the cast and crew from the sets, which quickly went viral online. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh also shared the update, confirming that the makers are firmly sticking to the June 2026 release.

Why Fans Are UNHAPPY With Welcome To The Jungle Release Date?

Soon after the announcement, fans started questioning the timing. Many believe August 2026 would have been a better release window. One major reason is Akshay Kumar’s packed release schedule. His film Bhooth Bangla is already set to arrive in May 2026. With just about a month’s gap between the two films, fans fear that Welcome To The Jungle could suffer at the box office.

Earlier reports had suggested that the film might release on August 14 or August 27, 2026. This speculation gained strength after big films like King and Love And War moved out of those dates. However, the makers have now cleared all doubts by confirming the June release.

Social media platforms were flooded with reactions after the announcement. Many fans openly requested the makers to rethink the decision. Read some user comments below:

“Release in August please.”

“Bad release date. Aug should have been the best release date.”

“Change the date.”

“Again Akshay Kumar movies releasing in a gap of 1 month.”

“2 movies in a span of 40 days again. Bhoot Bangla on 15 May and Welcome on 26 June. Also “Dhamaal 4 coming on 3rd July which means Welcome is doomed for sure.”

“Akki sir mat karo June me release… already bhoot bangla 1 mahine pehle aa rahi h…atleast diwali me laao welcome to the jungle warna flop ho jayega plsss sir kabhi to suno apne fans ki…very bad decision.”

“Akshay sir disaster ha ye 15 may ko apki most hype movie bhoot bangla aa rahe uske 1 month later ye nahi chalega All time disaster pakka hai.”

About This Akshay Kumar Starrer

Welcome To The Jungle remains one of the biggest comedy films in the making. It features a massive ensemble cast of over 30 actors, including Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi and Paresh Rawal. The film promises “high-octane action” along with the franchise’s signature comedy.

The film’s production faced hurdles last year due to reported financial issues. Shooting was halted multiple times, and there were even reports that some actors were considering quitting the project. However, the issues were later resolved, and the shoot got back on track.

The Welcome franchise has a strong fan base. The first film was released in 2007 and became a major box-office hit. The sequel followed in 2015 with a new storyline. While Welcome To The Jungle is not directly linked to the earlier films, it is set in the same Welcome universe.

Presented by AA Nadiadwala and Star Studio18, in association with Cape of Good Films and Seeta Films, the film also stars Rajpal Yadav, Johnny Lever, Aftab Shivdasani, Lara Dutta, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor and many more. All eyes are now on whether the makers will stick to the June date or consider fans’ requests.

Bhagwant Mann Aam Aadmi Clinics Bring Free Healthcare Closer to Homes, Elderly Express Satisfaction

The Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government continues to strengthen grassroots healthcare delivery through Aam Aadmi Clinics, ensuring free and accessible medical services close to people’s homes. The initiative has significantly reduced the need for residents, especially senior citizens, to travel long distances for basic treatment and medicines.

Bhagwant Mann Aam Aadmi Clinics Bring Free Healthcare Closer to Homes

Under this model, patients receive free consultations, diagnostic tests, and essential medicines, easing both financial and physical burdens. The clinics are designed to cater to everyday health needs, allowing larger hospitals to focus on serious and emergency cases.

Relief for the Elderly and Vulnerable

An elderly beneficiary recently shared his satisfaction, stating that the nearby clinic has brought immense relief. Earlier, he had to travel far and spend considerable time and money for routine treatment. Now, quality healthcare is available within walking distance, making regular check-ups easier and stress-free.

Reducing Healthcare Inequality

The Aam Aadmi Clinics have emerged as a major step towards equitable healthcare, particularly for low-income families, daily wage workers, and senior citizens. By decentralising primary healthcare, the government aims to ensure that no one is deprived of treatment due to distance or cost.

Strengthening Public Health Infrastructure

The Punjab government has maintained that expanding Aam Aadmi Clinics is part of its broader vision to build a people-centric and preventive healthcare system. With increasing footfall and positive public feedback, the clinics are becoming a trusted first point of medical care across the state.

The initiative reflects the government’s commitment to making healthcare accessible, affordable, and dignified, especially for those who need it the most.

Bhagwant Mann
Bhagwant Mann

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday interacted with media persons after a crucial meeting on the long-pending Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal issue, reiterating the state’s firm stand on protecting Punjab’s water rights. The Chief Minister addressed the press live from Chandigarh, highlighting the seriousness of the matter and Punjab’s consistent position.

CM Bhagwant Mann Addresses Media After Key Meeting

During the interaction, CM Bhagwant Mann underlined that Punjab has already made immense sacrifices and does not have surplus water to share. He maintained that any discussion on SYL must be rooted in ground realities, scientific assessment, and constitutional fairness, keeping the interests of Punjab’s farmers and people at the forefront.

Punjab’s Stand on Water Rights

The Chief Minister stressed that water is a lifeline for Punjab’s agrarian economy and any decision affecting it must ensure justice to the state. He reiterated that Punjab has always respected federal principles and expects the same spirit to be upheld while addressing inter-state disputes.

Call for Dialogue, Not Imposition

CM Mann said that while Punjab believes in dialogue and constitutional processes, no unilateral decision will be acceptable. He asserted that the state government will continue to present Punjab’s case strongly at every forum, including before the Centre and the judiciary, if required.

Transparency with the Public

By addressing the media immediately after the meeting, the Chief Minister emphasized transparency and accountability. He stated that keeping the people informed on sensitive issues like SYL is essential, as it directly impacts Punjab’s future generations.

The SYL canal dispute remains one of the most sensitive inter-state issues, and CM Bhagwant Mann’s interaction reflects the Punjab government’s resolve to safeguard the state’s interests while seeking a fair and lawful resolution.

Raisin Benefits: Kishmish’s Best-Kept Secret Exposed! Health Expert Shares The Right Way To Consume

Raisin Benefits
Image Credit: Google

Raisin Benefits: Suffering from constipation and poor bowel movement? Recent health studies have shown that raisins (kishmish) can help in preventing and relieving constipation due to their natural sugar content and high fibre. This helps in softening stools and speeding up bowel movement while keeping the gut hydrated.

Raisins Benefits For Constipation

1. High fibre content (bulk and water retention)

A small box of raisins (approximately 40-50 grams) contains approximately 3-4 grams of dietary fibre. The soluble fibre of raisins helps in the formation of a gel-like substance in the gut that draws water into the stool and softens it, making it easier to pass.

The insoluble fibre of raisins helps in adding bulk and roughage to the stool. This helps in stimulating the muscles of the intestines to move waste and food more quickly. By doing this, raisins increase stool weight and size while making it softer that helps prevent straining and discomfort in constipation.

2. Natural laxative effect (fructose and sorbitol)

Rich in sugars such as fructose and sorbitol, raisins are mild natural laxatives. These sugars travel to the colon where they are able to draw extra water into the bowel via osmosis. This extra water helps in hydrating the stool that prevents it from becoming too dry and hard.

The gentle “pulling of water” effect is sufficient enough to relieve mild to moderate constipation without harsh stimulant laxatives.

3. Prebiotic effect (gut bacteria support)

The fibre in raisins (especially soluble fibre) act as a prebiotic – that is food for good gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. These beneficial bacteria ferment fibre in the body to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate.

This helps in reducing colon inflammation, maintain a healthy gut lining supporting regular bowel movements & overall digestion.

4. Presence of helpful compounds

Raisins also contain small amounts of tartaric acid that improve gut motility, stimulate digestion and help balance gut bacteria. It also includes potassium and magnesium that support normal bowel function and regulate muscle contractions in the intestines.

It’s best to start the consumption of raisins with a small amount and increase gradually.

Best Way To Use Raisins For Constipation

For best results, eat 10–15 raisins (about 30–40 g) daily, either as a snack or mixed into meals. You can combine them with plenty of water (at least 8-10 glasses every day). Raisins are best soaked overnight in water and consumed best in the morning on an empty stomach.

Simple Ways To Include Raisins Daily

You can consume 10–15 raisins as a sweet snack after lunch or dinner to keep digestion active. Black raisins (8-10) can be soaked in a glass of water overnight; next morning, drink the water and eat the raisins on an empty stomach.

You can even add a spoonful of raisins to your morning porridge, oats or yogurt to boost fibre intake. Alternatively, you can blend soaked raisins with banana, milk or plant milk and a pinch of flaxseed for a constipation‑relieving drink.

CM Yogi Adityanath issued clear instructions to the concerned officials to ensure time-bound and transparent resolution of public complaints. He warned against negligence and directed officers to adopt a sensitive and accountable approach while dealing with people’s problems.

‘New Uttar Pradesh’ Focused on Public Welfare

The Janata Darshan initiative reflects the vision of ‘New Uttar Pradesh’, where governance is centred on public welfare, responsiveness, and accountability. Regular interactions between the Chief Minister and citizens have strengthened confidence in the system and reduced bureaucratic delays.

Direct Dialogue Strengthens Trust

By personally engaging with people, CM Yogi continues to bridge the gap between the administration and citizens. The government has maintained that such direct dialogue ensures that benefits of welfare schemes reach the last person in line and reinforces the principles of good governance and inclusive development.

The Janata Darshan programme remains a key platform through which the Uttar Pradesh government addresses ground-level issues and upholds its promise of a people-centric administration.

Under the leadership of the state government, the police force continues to carry out focused raids, intensive search operations, and sustained public awareness drives across Punjab.

As part of the ongoing mission, teams from Punjab Police and the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) conducted coordinated search operations in multiple areas. These operations aimed not only at disrupting drug supply chains but also at sending a strong message that drug-related activities will not be tolerated anywhere in the state.

Bhagwant Mann : Awareness and Enforcement Go Hand in Hand

Alongside enforcement, Punjab Police has placed strong emphasis on community awareness and public participation. During the operations, residents were sensitised about the harmful effects of drug abuse and urged to cooperate with the police by sharing information related to narcotics trafficking. Officials reiterated that public support remains a key pillar of the campaign’s success.

Relentless Drive Towards a Drug-Free Punjab

The ‘Yudh Nashian Virudh’ campaign reflects Punjab Police’s zero-tolerance approach towards drugs, combining ground-level action with preventive strategies.

Government’s Commitment to ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab’

With 331 days completed, Punjab Police has made it clear that this is not a temporary operation but a long-term mission aimed at protecting future generations and restoring social well-being across the state.

A viral video from a recent award night has triggered a fresh round of online debate, with social media users questioning whether the actor made his ‘friend’ Ashnoor Kaur uncomfortable during a public appearance.

Chamba Viral Video: None Like Dogs! Loyal Dog Stays Beside Frozen Cousins in Sub-Zero Himalayas For 4 Days, Netizens Salute

Chamba Viral Video
Google

A heartbreaking incident from Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, has moved the internet after a viral video showed a pet dog standing guard beside the bodies of two cousins who died during a snowbound trek in the Himalayas. The tragedy unfolded on January 23, 2026, when Vikas Rana (19) and Piyush (13) went trekking toward the Bharmani Mata temple amid heavy snowfall.

What Happened in Chamba?

Local investigators confirmed that the two relatives who died due to exposure were lost due to an unexpected storm that caused the temperature in the area to drop below 0°F and caused them to suffer from hypothermia. They were found four days after their bodies were recovered through the cooperation of many local authorities including search and rescue teams, local people and volunteers who were also aided by the extreme weather conditions, particularly blizzard and snow as well as a lack of visibility.

One thing that was a focal point during the search effort was the deceased dog that remained with its owner despite being exposed to such extreme temperatures.

Dog’s Loyalty Captured in Viral Video

Rescue teams discovered the dog lying next to the body in an effort to shield them from freezing temperatures and predation from wildlife. The powerful images triggered a viral sensation online, with internet users praising them as a testament to the strength of the bond between dogs and humans through their loyalty.

Studies, including a publication found in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior, have demonstrated that dogs regularly experience “grieving” behaviors after their human partners pass away. In many cases, the deceased dog will remain by the side of the dead human body in close proximity—an undeniable representation of the dog’s love for their human being.

Himalayan Winter Risks Under Spotlight

Tragic events bring renewed attention to the perils of trekkers to the Himalayas during the winter months. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) collects data that indicate approximately 200 people lose their lives in snow-related incidents each year, specifically avalanches, exposure, and hypothermia in India.

The increased risk associated with trekking in remote, high-altitude wilderness areas without knowledgeable, experienced local guides, obtaining updated weather conditions, and having adequate winter equipment, is highly emphasized by experts; particularly, with regard to less experienced or young trekkers.

Public Reaction and Safety Concerns

Social media users expressed grief while also urging authorities to improve awareness about mountain safety. Many demanded better signage, early-warning systems, and stricter advisories during severe weather conditions.

12 Takeaways From The India EU FTA Deal! Why The “Mother Of All Deals” Is Angering Washington, Beijing And Islamabad?

India EU FTA Deal

India EU FTA Deal: A landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA) deal has been concluded by India and the European Union.

Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, President of the European Council António Costa and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have signed the “mother of all deals” today. This would reshape the economic trajectory of India and the EU while altering the geopolitical calculus of Beijing, Washington and Islamabad.

The FTA deal is likely to impact more than 2 billion consumers, setting a new template for how India and the EU engage with the global trading system.

Takeaways From The India EU FTA Deal

  • Biscuits, chocolates, pasta, bread and other processed foods that were earlier facing approximately 50 percent import duty would now be moved to zero duty.
  • Duties of approximately 45 percent on olive oil, margarine and other vegetable oils would be eliminated.
  • Tariffs on fruit juices and non-alcoholic beer that were previously kept in the 30-50 percent band would be removed.
  • Basic customs duty on European Wines that were previously as high as 150 percent would now be cut to 20-30 percent.
  • Import duty on spirits such as whisky, vodka, rum and gin would be reduced from 150 percent to about 40 percent.
  • Import duty on European beer would be reduced from 110 percent to 50 percent.
  • Luxury and fully-built European cars that are presently facing 70 to 110 percent import duties would now be about 40 percent.
  • Tariffs up to 44 percent on machinery and capital goods would be largely scrapped.
  • Import duties up to 22 percent on EU chemical products would be largely eliminated.
  • Import duties up to 11 percent on EU pharmaceutical products would be entirely eliminated.
  • Tariffs on aircraft and spacecraft parts would be removed, taking them to zero duty.
  • Around 90 percent of optical, medical and surgical equipment would become duty-free.

Why Washington, Beijing, and Islamabad Are Going Uneasy?

The EU-India deal is seen by Washington as reduced reliance on the US-centric trade architecture amid the aggressive tariff policies of US President Donald Trump and his “Buy American” rhetoric. Many in the US political circles worry that the integration of India and the European Union could significantly dilute the centrality of Washington in shaping global trade rules.

Beijing views the FTA between India and the EU as a limiting factor influencing its presence in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia. The deal threatens the Belt and Road‑driven outreach of China to Europe while undermining its narrative of being the indispensable economic partner from the region.

On the other hand, Islamabad fears that the EU-India deal could widen the already-huge economic gap between India and Pakistan, especially as Indian IT, textiles and engineering services would now gain privileged EU access.

O Romeo Song ‘Aashiqon Ki Colony’ OUT: Shahid Kapoor Flirts With Disha Patani In This Fresh Item Number, Netizens Say ‘Shakal Nahi, Shareer Pe Focus Hai…’

O Romeo Song Aashiqon Ki Colony - Shahid Kapoor and Disha Patani

The makers of O Romeo have released their new song “Aashiqon Ki Colony” online. The dance number features Shahid Kapoor with Disha Patani and has been launched as a special Valentine’s Week track. While it is meant to be a fun and festive dance anthem, early reactions suggest that many viewers are not impressed.

“Aashiqon Ki Colony” is a recreated version of the 90s hit “Neeche Phoolon Ki Dukaan” from Joru Ka Ghulam. The song gives the old track a modern twist. Disha Patani appears as the dancer Julie, while Shahid Kapoor is seen dancing and flirting with her. The 3-minute-23-second video includes glossy visuals, colourful costumes and stylised dance steps.

The music is composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, with lyrics by Gulzar. Singers Madhubanti Bagchi and Javed Ali lend their voices to the track. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the song has been promoted as a high-energy number designed for the Valentine’s Week release window.

O Romeo Song ‘Aashiqon Ki Colony’ OUT

Sharing the song, the makers wrote, “Ishq ka itr mehenga tha… par le liya. Aashiqon ki colony mein… ghar le liya.”

Soon after its release, the song found its way to Reddit, where netizens shared mixed but mostly critical reactions. Many felt the song lacked impact and effort. Some ever criticised Disha and compared her to Tamannaah Bhatia, Sharvari and others.

Have a look at some comments below

“They have put zero effort into the item number. Such a boring set, such horrendous costumes, very monotonous steps and Madhubanti bagchi sound so weird on Disha.”

“Disha isnt doing a bad job but she doesn’t give good expressions like Sharvari,Tamannaah or the slightly older heroines….she’s always just there.”

“I found the set to be soo boring especially after Aaj ki raat, taras, oo antava, uyyi amma etc….those sets had a lot of work put into them.”

“Shakal nahi , shareer pe focus hai shayad.”

“Disha is super bland….despite a great body she cant do justice to item numbers either.”

“So bad….im sure disha has such a tiny role in the film that cutting her and this boring item song out entirely will do the film better.”

“I danced 30x better (8-12 years of age) than disha did in this one.”

“Couldn’t watch the whole song….kept forwarding….boring.”

About The Film

Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, O Romeo is a gritty action-romance thriller set in post-independence Mumbai. Inspired by real events documented by S Hussain Zaidi, the film follows Hussain Ustara, a feared contract killer who gets pulled into a dangerous world of love, revenge and crime after a woman named Afsha approaches him for help.

Shahid Kapoor stars as Hussain Ustara, with Triptii Dimri playing Afsha. Avinash Tiwary appears as the antagonist Jalal, while Nana Patekar and Farida Jalal play important roles. The cast also includes Vikrant Massey, Tamannaah Bhatia and Disha Patani in a special appearance.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, O Romeo is reportedly made on a budget of around Rs 150 crore. The film is set to release in theatres on February 13, 2026, just ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Are Smartphones The Real Culprit For Rising ADHD Cases in Children? Check Health Expert’s Surprise Take

ADHD

ADHD: In today’s digital age, smartphones are becoming the extensions of our hands and unfortunately, little hands too! Parents in Indian cities are getting increasingly worried these days as there have been many reports of heightened risk of Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The Alarming Link Between Phones and ADHD Risk

ADHD can impact impulse control, hyperactivity, memory, concentration and focus in children. A 2023 JAMA Paediatrics study revealed that children with more than 2 hours of daily screen time before the age of 5 years can show 7-10 times higher ADHD symptoms by age 10.

Can Smartphones Hijack Developing Brains?

Dopamine-driven mobile applications can hijack developing brains with endless scrolls on YouTube Kids or Instagram Reels that mimic slot machines. This can over-stimulate the prefrontal cortex, which is the “brake” of the human brain for attention. Also, blue light of smartphones can negatively disrupt melatonin, which cause sleep deficits that may worsen impulsivity.

1. Increased ADHD–like Symptoms and Attention Problems

Multiple studies have shown that more screen time is associated with attention problems, mimicking ADHD. Heavy phone use by children and teenagers can cause higher attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity.

Children who spend 2 hours or more on phones or social media can face forgetfulness or trouble focusing. This is simply because fast and flashy content of mobile apps can over-stimulate the brain’s reward system that makes real-world and slower tasks like reading, listening or painting feel boring for children.

2. Poor Sleep Quality and Sleep Delay

Phone screens emit blue light that suppresses melatonin, the hormone that signals sleep. The use of phones late at night by children makes it difficult for them to fall asleep, reduce sleep quality and shorten total sleep. This can make children more likely to feel irritable, tired and restless throughout the day.

3. Premature Brain Maturation and Cognitive Changes

Brain imaging studies have found that children with very high screen time tend to face disruption of the normal cognitive development or premature aging of the brain. This can impact self-control, staying attentive on task and planning challenging for children.

4. Emotional and Behavioural Problems

Excessive phone and social media use is associated with higher rates of emotional volatility, depression, stress and anxiety. Constant notifications, cyber-bullying and comparisons with others online can make young children feel lonely, rejected or stressed leading to mood swings, irritability and increased aggression.
