Bhagwant Mann Intensifies Anti-Drug Drive, 170 Smugglers Arrested on Day 328 of ‘Yudh Nashian Virudh’
The Bhagwant Mann on Day 328 of its anti-drug campaign ‘Yudh Nashian Virudh’ intensified its crackdown on narcotics networks across the state, arresting 170 drug smugglers during coordinated raids at 387 locations, officials said on Thursday.
Bhagwant Mann Intensifies Anti-Drug Drive
According to the Punjab Police, the large-scale operation led to the recovery of 485 grams of heroin, 120 kilograms of poppy husk, 1,184 intoxicant tablets and capsules, along with ₹7,400 in drug money.
Statewide Raids Target Drug Networks
The action was carried out by teams of @ANTFPunjab, targeting both urban and rural areas as part of the state government’s sustained war against drugs. Police said the operation aimed at dismantling supply chains and identifying repeat offenders involved in narcotics trafficking.
With the latest arrests, the total number of drug smugglers arrested in 328 days has reached 46,381, reflecting the scale of the ongoing campaign.
The operation involved intelligence-based inputs, surveillance and coordination between district police units and the Anti-Narcotics Task Force, ensuring swift action against suspected drug traffickers.
Cumulative Impact of the Campaign
With the latest arrests, the total number of drug smugglers apprehended in the last 328 days has risen to 46,381, underscoring the scale and intensity of Punjab’s anti-drug campaign. Officials said sustained pressure has helped weaken organised drug networks and deter new entrants into the illegal trade.
Punjab Police stated that continuous monitoring and follow-up investigations are being conducted to trace financial links and larger syndicates involved in narcotics trafficking.
Emphasis on Rehabilitation and Social Reform
In parallel with enforcement action, the police also focused on rehabilitation and social reform. During the drive, 47 individuals were motivated to seek de-addiction and rehabilitation, reflecting the government’s approach of combining strict policing with humanitarian intervention.
Officials noted that awareness programmes, counselling and coordination with health departments are being strengthened to ensure long-term recovery and reintegration of affected individuals into society.
Focus on De-addiction and Rehabilitation
Alongside enforcement measures, Punjab Police also emphasized rehabilitation. During the drive, 47 individuals were motivated to undergo de-addiction and rehabilitation, highlighting the government’s dual approach of strict action against smugglers and support for drug-dependent individuals.
Government’s Stand Against Drugs
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the Punjab government has repeatedly stated that it will adopt a zero-tolerance policy against drugs while strengthening awareness, treatment and reintegration programmes.
The ‘Yudh Nashian Virudh’ campaign continues to be one of the largest sustained anti-narcotics drives in Punjab, aimed at making the state drug-free and safeguarding youth from substance abuse.
Dhanush And Mrunal Thakur Wedding Rumours: Viral Video Of Duo Dressed As South Indian Bride-Groom Leaves Fans Angry – ‘Don’t Fool People…’
Dhanush And Mrunal Thakur Wedding Rumours: A viral video and image showing actors Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur dressed as a South Indian bride and groom have taken social media by storm. The clips suggest that the pair got married in a private ceremony in Chennai.
However, the video is fake. It was created using artificial intelligence (AI) and does not show any real event.
Dhanush And Mrunal Thakur Wedding Rumours: Fans Angry Watching Fake AI-Generated Viral Video
In the AI-generated footage, Mrunal wears a maroon kanjeevaram saree while Dhanush is dressed in traditional South Indian attire. The video also includes other actors like Trisha Krishnan, Shruti Haasan, Anirudh Ravichander, Thalapathy Vijay, Dulquer Salmaan and Ajith. While some found it entertaining, many criticised the creator for spreading false rumours.
Read some online user comments below:
“Nonsense! whoever created this, use your talent for better dude.”
“Does Dhanush and Mrunal know about this?”
“Editing to thik se kar lete kisi or ka face dikh raha.”
“Don’t fool people with your fake AI reels.”
“Case hojayega…band karo yeh sab karna.”
How The Wedding Rumours Started
Rumours about Dhanush and Mrunal began in August 2025 when they were spotted exchanging greetings at the premiere of her film Son of Sardaar 2. Their next public appearance together, at the wrap party for Dhanush’s Tere Ishk Mein, added fuel to the speculation.
Earlier this month, Mrunal addressed the rumours subtly on Instagram. She posted a video on a boat at sunset and wrote, “Grounded, glowing and unshaken.” Fans saw it as a quiet response, though it did not directly mention the wedding.
A source close to the actress confirmed, “There is no truth to the wedding claims. Mrunal is not getting married next month. This is a rumour that has caught wind for no reason.” Industry insiders also noted her busy schedule. A source said, “She has a release scheduled for February, and then another Telugu film coming out in March. It doesn’t make sense for her to plan a wedding right in the middle of that.”
This incident shows how AI is increasingly being used to create fake celebrity content. Similar cases have involved actors like Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, with digitally altered images falsely showing them at weddings.
Fans are advised to be careful before believing such videos.
Shashi Tharoor On Front Foot After Skipping Congress Meet, Says No Party-Line Violations Whatsoever, No Remorse For Operation Sindoor Comments
Shashi Tharoor: Shashi Tharoor, the Congress MLA from Thiruvananthapuram, said he was never guilty of violating the stated positions of his party in the Indian Parliament.
Tharoor remarked that his only public disagreement with the Rahul Gandhi-led party was over Operation Sindoor in 2025. While defending his stance, Tharoor had remarked that it was India’s first PM Jawahar Lal Nehru who first posed the question – “Who lives if India dies?” The Congress MLA had remarked India always comes first when India is at stake or when the country’s place in the world or its security is at stake.
Tharoor commented political parties may have their own set of differences but India must always prevail first when national interests are involved.
Speaking at the Kerala Literature Festival in Kozhikode, Tharoor said he remains unapologetic about his strong stand for the motherland during Operation Sindoor.
Tharoor made these comments while addressing reports that he has irreconcilable differences with the party high command and leadership.
It was widely reported on social media that Tharoor was upset with the kind of treatment given to her at the Mahapanchayat in Kochi. After this development, Tharoor remarked that he has no plans to attend the Congress meeting meant to discuss 2026 Kerala election preparations.
Shashi Tharoor-Pahalgam Incident
Tharoor said he had written a newspaper column after the April 22 attack in Pahalgam. Tharoor while addressing the community of Indians in Washington DC had recalled a harrowing incident when a woman whose husband was brutally shot down by terrorists who attacked tourists in Pahalgam asked them to kill her too, they told her to go back and tell the story to the world.
Shashi Tharoor had then appreciated the Operation Sindoor delegations and the “calibrated and measured” stance of the military response of India to the terror attack in Pahalgam.
The opinion piece of Tharoor “Lessons from Operation Sindoor’s global outreach” that was published in The Hindu was shared by Indian PM Narendra Modi.
The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4: Mardaani 3 Actress Rani Mukerji MEETS Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan And Aamir Khan In Fun Twist, Kapil Sharma Asks ‘Khandala Mein…’
Rani Mukerji is all set to light up episode 6 of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4. The episode streams on Netflix from January 24 at 8 PM IST. Rani’s appearance comes ahead of the release of her upcoming action-thriller Mardaani 3, which is hitting theatres on January 30. This makes the episode special for both the actress and her fans.
Earlier this month, on January 12, Rani celebrated 30 years in the Indian film industry. She will talk about her journey, her memorable roles and what keeps her motivated even after three decades in films.
Rani Mukerji With 3 Khans On The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4
The episode is packed with comedy and impersonations. Sunil Grover will appear as Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, while Krushna Abhishek plays Shah Rukh Khan and Govinda. Kiku Sharda joins the fun as Saif Ali Khan.
Rani also talks about her National Award-winning performance in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. She reveals that she drew inspiration from her mother, whom she calls a “Bengali tigress.”
The humour peaks when Sunil Grover (in his Aamir Khan avatar) jokes about a possible Mardaani 4, leaving both Rani and the audience in splits.
Kapil Sharma’s Fun Questions
Kapil Sharma keeps the conversation lively, asking Rani to rate her husband Aditya Chopra as a romantic partner. She gives him a perfect 15 out of 10, earning cheers from the audience.
One of the funniest moments comes when Kapil asks, “Khandala mein kya karenge? (What will you do in Khandala?)” Sunil Grover continues the joke, suggesting starting a tofu factory in Khandala, which has the crowd laughing out loud.
Kapil also asks about Aditya Chopra’s proposal. Rani keeps it playful, saying some things are best “kept off television.”
Feet Burning: Vitamin B12 Deficiency, Fungal Infection Or Poor Blood Circulation? Health Expert Shares Top Culprits And Simple Home Remedies
Feet Burning: Imagine kicking off your shoes after a long and tiring day, only to experience an intense burning sensation in your feet! It’s not just fatigue but a possible early warning by your body of something more serious.
Causes Of Feet Burning
Feet burning can be caused due to many factors, including but not limited to:
Vitamin B12 Deficiency: A Vegetarian’s Silent Enemy
Most lacto-vegetarian diets of India tend to be low in animal products and Vitamin B12 deficiency starts making an impact. It can cause nerve damage, causing tingling, burning or numbness in feet that go worse by evening as fatigue starts to set in. Gut issues such as poor absorption from medications or spicy foods can aggravate things.
Diabetes and High Blood Sugar (Peripheral Neuropathy)
India is known as the diabetes capital of the world. Millions of India suffers from peripheral neuropathy or nerve weakness due to elevated blood sugar levels. When left untreated for long, this can quickly translate to ulcers or amputations in acute cases. If you’re pre-diabetic from refined carbs or sugary tea, this could be your wake-up call.
Poor Blood Circulation: The Desk Job Hazard
Long hours sitting before the computer or in traffic could restrict the flow of blood. Tight shoes, varicose veins or high heels could worsen it, causing evening flares and trapping heat. In hot and humid Indian climates, the build-up of sweat further amplifies the burn.
Fungal Infections: Itchy and Persistent
Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) tends to thrive in sweaty socks or monsoon moisture. You must regularly check your feet for cracks, peeling skin or itching alongside feet burning. Public gyms, shared footwear, alcohol excess, kidney issues, thyroid imbalances or medications such as statins could be the likely triggers.
Simple Home Remedies to Ease the Burn Tonight
Let us explore some simple home remedies to ease the burning of feet.
- Soak in Cool Relief: Dip your feet in lukewarm water with apple cider vinegar or Epsom salt for 10-20 minutes. Avoid the use of ice cubes to prevent shocks
- Boost B12 Naturally: Add eggs, dairy or fortified cereals if you are a non-vegetarian. For strict vegetarians, supplements (under medical guidance) may be recommended.
- Improve Circulation: Elevate feet, wear compression socks and make sure to walk 10-15 minutes post-dinner.
- Antifungal Hacks: Apply tea tree oil or keep feet dry with talc powder.
- Lifestyle Tweaks: Stay hydrated, cut refined sugars and engage in exercise like brisk yoga.
Burning feet aren’t “just tiredness” – they’re your body’s SOS. Consult a physician immediately if things go from bad to worse.

Trump’s Peace Board: Pakistan Disgraced Globally! Israel Rejects Pak, Qatar and Turkiye as Terror Allies, Donald Trump in Quandary
Board of Peace: Israel’s Minister of Economy Nir Barkat has categorically remarked that any nation that supports terror in any form cannot be welcomed to put its troops in Gaza.
Barkat was referring to Pakistan, Qatar and Turkey that have long supported the Jihadi organizations. However, Barkat remarked that Israel is not against the idea of having them as a part of the larger organization under the leadership of United States President Donald Trump.
Israeli Envoy To India Blasted Pakistan-Board of Peace
Earlier this month, the Israeli envoy to India rejected any proposal whatsoever to include the armed forces of Pakistan in any boots-on-the-ground Gaza plan. Reuven Azar said Pakistan cannot be relied upon as it has links with Hamas and terror groups including the Lashkar-e-Taiba. Azar had also commented that nations primarily cooperate with only those nations whom they trust and with whom they share proper diplomatic relations.
The Israeli envoy to India further remarked Israel as a country does not view or consider the terror-state Pakistan as an acceptable or credible partner in any stabilization mechanism involving Gaza.
Shehbaz Sharif Blasted
Shehbaz Sharif, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, has been receiving flak from opposition parties, his own party members and the general public after he joined hands with Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the party of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan blasted the Sharif government to sign the charter.
Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, the Leader of the Opposition in the Pak Senate and the chief of the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM), also blasted Pakistan’s decision to join the board saying the move was indefensible and morally incorrect.
Notable Members and Absentees
Notable absentees from the Board of Peace include India, France, Germany, China and the United Kingdom.
Many countries have accepted the invitation of Trump to join the Board of Peace. This includes Argentina, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus and Bulgaria. Other inclusions are Bulgaria, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Morocco, Mongolia and Pakistan. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and Vietnam are also board members.
Vande Mataram: National Song To Get Equivalent Respect As The National Anthem, How Will Asaduddin Owaisi and Rahul Gandhi React?
Vande Mataram: Earlier this month, a high-level government meeting was held to ascertain and debate if the National Song of India (Vande Mataram) could be provided the same levels of respect and aura as the National Anthem of India (Jana Gana Mana).
Officials discussed when the national song should be sung, how it should be sung, whether there could be any penalty or punishment for the insult of National Song of the country under the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971.
Asaduddin Owaisi and Rahul Gandhi don’t appreciate Vande Mataram being made a compulsory “test of love for the country.” In his Lok Sabha speech, Owaisi had remarked that patriotism of citizens cannot be certified or coerced. The AIMIM Chief remarked references to “Bharat Mata” as a goddess violate the right to freedom of conscience and the principle of secularism.
Rahul Gandhi’s party don’t appreciate the ruling government’s decision to treat the national song of India to be made on par with the national anthem.
National Song And National Anthem
In 2022, the Supreme Court of India was told by the Union Government that the National Song of the country did not command the same respect and aura as the National Anthem of India. It was also stated by the government that there were no provisions or instructions on how the national song could be played or sung.
India’s National Anthem enjoys clear statutory and constitutional protection. Under Article 51A (a) of the Constitution, citizens are fundamentally bound to respect the national anthem of the country. Its use and singings are governed by Ministry of Home Affairs’ detailed executive orders.
Vande Mataram, which was written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, has long stood out as a rallying cry during the country’s Swadeshi movement.
Did Jawaharlal Nehru Banned Vande Mataram?
India’s first Prime Ministern Jawahar Lal Nehru opposed Vande Mataram as the National Anthem of India. Interestingly, Nehru felt that the tune of Jana Gana Mana worked better with playful bands, used simpler language and had a clearer sense of fulfillment and triumph. A Constituent Assembly resolution (24 January 1950) made Vande Mataram the National Song and Jana Gana Mana became the National Anthem. Many in the political circles believed and still believe that Nehru purposefully engaged in “betrayal” or “appeasement” of Vande Mataram.
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 50: Ranveer Singh’s Spy Actioner Hits Roadblock After Border 2 Release, Weekend Growth Now Crucial
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 50: Ranveer Singh’s spy action thriller Dhurandhar has enjoyed a strong and steady run at the box office. However, after completing 50 days in theatres, the film has clearly slowed down. After several weeks of solid collections, it has now entered a difficult phase with very limited scope for further growth.
The release of Sunny Deol’s Border 2 has shifted audience attention and screen space. The upcoming weekend is extremely important for Dhurandhar to stay in cinemas for a few more days.
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 50
According to Sacnilk, Dhurandhar box office collection stands at Rs 831.05 crore net in India after 50 days. The film has been screened across nearly 214,150 shows nationwide. These figures place it among the biggest Hindi hits of 2025. However, daily collections have dropped steadily in recent days.
On its eighth Friday (Day 50), the film earned only Rs 0.55 crore. With daily earnings now limited to just a few lakhs, it is uncertain whether Dhurandhar can survive for another week in theatres. The film’s future now depends largely on Saturday and Sunday numbers. A decent weekend jump could help it continue briefly, but without that support, the end of its theatrical run appears close.

The release of Border 2 has changed the domestic box office scenario. Many multiplexes and single screens have shifted more shows to the Sunny Deol-led war drama. As a result, Dhurandhar is now running on fewer screens.
With reduced show counts, weekday growth has become almost impossible. Despite this, the film’s long run remains impressive and shows strong audience interest over nearly eight weeks.
Although Dhurandhar is already an all-time BLOCKBUSTER, it is struggling to cross Rs 850 crore net mark in India. The film’s performance is even more notable because it is an A-rated espionage thriller. Such films rarely sustain collections for this long.
Globally, Dhurandhar has already crossed Rs 1,280 crore worldwide, supported by strong overseas earnings. This further confirms its massive commercial success.
About The Film
Released on December 5, 2025, Dhurandhar is directed by Aditya Dhar. Ranveer Singh plays Hamza, also known as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, an Indian intelligence officer. The film also stars Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal in key roles.
The story follows a covert anti-terror mission that moves through the criminal and political underworld of Karachi. It draws inspiration from real events such as the IC-814 hijacking, the 2001 Parliament attack, and the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Made on an estimated budget of Rs 225–280 crore, Dhurandhar also stands out for its long 214-minute runtime, making it one of the longest mainstream Indian films in recent years.
Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 1: Sunny Deol’s Multi-Starrer Fails To Outperform Gadar 2 Despite Sequel Advantage, Earns 25% Less, Check
Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 1: The buzz around Border 2 was impossible to miss ahead of its release. Driven by nostalgia, strong patriotic emotions and Sunny Deol’s return to the war genre, the film arrived with high expectations.
With a multi-starrer cast and the legacy of a cult classic behind it, trade experts were eager to see whether the sequel could match the massive opening of Gadar 2 or at least outperform recent releases like Dhurandhar. The Day 1 box office numbers are now out, and they indicate a mixed but strong start.
Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 1
Border 2 opened to solid numbers at the Indian box office. As per Sacnilk, the war drama collected Rs 30 crore net in India on Day 1.
The opening indicates strong audience interest, especially during the extended Republic Day weekend. While the figures are encouraging for a film of this scale, Border 2 could not surpass the opening-day record of Gadar 2. Sunny Deol’s 2023 blockbuster had opened at Rs 40.1 crore, leaving Border 2 about 25% behind, despite enjoying the advantage of being a sequel.
Border 2 Box Office Collection Day 1 Comparison
| Film | Box Office Collection (Day 1) |
|---|---|
| Border 2 | Rs 30 cr |
| Gadar 2 | Rs 40.1 cr (arounjd 25% higher) |
When compared to Dhurandhar, Border 2 has the upper hand. The Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna-led spy thriller earned around Rs 28 crore on its opening day, which Border 2 has comfortably crossed.
However, the real test begins now. Dhurandhar showed strong growth over its opening weekend, and Border 2 will need a similar jump to narrow the gap with Gadar 2. Positive word of mouth and family audiences will be key in deciding whether the film holds steady or slows down in the coming days.
For Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, Border 2 marks the biggest opening of their careers. For Sunny Deol, Gadar 2 remains his personal best. The film went on to collect Rs 686 crore worldwide, making it the highest-grossing title of his four-decade career. Meanwhile, Dilwale (2015) continues to be Varun Dhawan’s highest worldwide grosser at Rs 388 crore.
About The Film
Released on January 23, Border 2 is a spiritual successor to JP Dutta’s 1997 classic. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film revisits the 1971 Indo-Pak war, expanding its scope to showcase joint operations by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force. The story also touches upon Pakistan’s pre-emptive air strikes under Operation Chengiz Khan and India’s strong counter-offensive.
The film stars Sunny Deol as Lt Col Fateh Singh Kaler, Varun Dhawan as Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya, Diljit Dosanjh as Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon and Ahan Shetty as Lt Cdr Joseph Noronha. Supporting roles are played by Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh and Medha Rana.
Border 2 also stands out for its long runtime of 3 hours and 16 minutes, a choice made to give depth to each character and reflect the scale of the war. The film features a nostalgic musical tribute, including a reimagined version of the iconic “Sandese Aate Hain.”
All eyes are now on how Border 2 performs over the weekend, as audience response will determine whether it can turn its strong opening into a sustained box office run.
‘Shakal Se Hi Chor Lagta Hai…’ Palash Muchhal Gets Brutally Trolled After Smriti Mandhana’s Friend Confirms He Cheated, Alleges Rs 40 Lakh Fraud
Music composer Palash Muchhal is once again in the news due to serious allegations of financial fraud. The controversy comes after his highly publicised breakup with Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana. Actor-producer Vidnyan Mane has accused Muchhal of cheating him out of over Rs 40 lakh, linked to an investment in an unreleased film. Mane also claimed that Palash was unfaithful to Smriti.
The news quickly went viral, sparking massive online trolling and heated debates across social media.
Palash Muchhal REACTS To Latest Allegations
Palash’s lawyer (Shreyansh Mithare) strongly rebutted the allegations, questioning both their credibility and timing. He said, “Vidnyan claims he has paid us money, but there is no evidence of whether this payment was made via cheque or bank transfer. As for the allegations of Palash being caught with another woman, where is the evidence? We don’t even know this individual personally. We were introduced to him through Smriti’s father Shrinivas. There has been no direct association with him. Why did he remain silent for so long? It is only after the wedding was called off that he surfaced. Palash is currently exploring his legal options.”
Palash Muchhal also addressed the matter on Instagram and wrote, “In light of the allegations made by Sangli-based Vidnyan Mane on social media, I wish to clarify that these claims are entirely baseless and factually incorrect. They appear to be driven by malicious intent to damage my reputation. My lawyer, Shreyansh Mithare, is examining all legal avenues, and the matter will be addressed strictly through appropriate legal channels.”
Explosive Allegations From Vidnyan Mane
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Vidnyan Mane (who says he is a childhood friend of Smriti Mandhana) made shocking claims about the cancelled wedding.
Mane alleged, “I was at the wedding celebrations (November 23, 2025) when he was caught red-handed with another woman in bed. Bhayanak scene tha, he was beaten up by the Indian female cricketers. The entire family is chindi chor. I thought he’d get married and settle in Sangli, but it has completely backfired on me.”
He also accused the Muchhal family of financial coercion. He said, “When I met Palash’s mother, Amita Muchhal, last month, she told me that the budget to release the film had increased to Rs 1.5 crore. I was asked to invest another Rs 10 lakh or risk losing my entire investment. I was threatened with being removed from the project, which left me with no choice but to file a complaint.”
Mane added that after the wedding was called off, he was blocked by the family on all platforms. Threatening to submit evidence to the police, he said, “I later discovered that several other artistes associated with the film had not been paid either. I had heard of producers being cheated in the industry, but this felt like outright theft.”
Online users mercilessly trolled Palash after these new allegations surfaced. Have a look at some user comments on Reddit below:
“Ye shakal se hi chor lagta hai.”
“Versatile Cheater.”
“His name should change from Palash to Kalesh Muchhal.”
“Har field main cheating karna hai isse.”
“Ab jab itna expertise hain hi…to mafiagiri, hafta wasooli etc etc mein bhi karobar expand karna chahiye isko.”
The dispute centres on a film titled Nazariya, announced in December 2024. Vidnyan Mane shared photos from the muhurat ceremony, announcing his debut as a Bollywood producer under Vidnyan Mane Studios. Palash Muchhal was signed as the director, and several crew members were present at the launch.
Palash Muchhal And Smriti Mandhana Breakup
The composer and Smriti were scheduled to marry on November 23, 2025. The wedding was first postponed due to family health issues, but was eventually called off. Neither has publicly shared the exact reason for the split. The recent allegations by Vidnyan Mane have now drawn significant media and public attention.
T20 World Cup 2026: ICC to “Punish” Bangladesh Today After Unresolved Standoff With BCB? Can Pakistan Board Bail Them Out?
T20 World Cup 2026: The International Cricket Council (ICC) is all likely to “punish” the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) after it refused to send its team to the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026.
A request by the BCB to shift the group stages of cricket matches to Sri Lanka was turned down by the world’s governing body. Fourteen out of sixteen members voted against the BCB’s move. The ICC has given BCB a day’s time to take a final stance else risk losing participation in the prestigious event. A decision for the same is likely to be announced by January 26 by the ICC.
T20 World Cup 2026-The Issues?
All problems started after the Indian Premier League (IPL) asked its franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to remove Mustafizur Rahman from its playing squad. Bangladesh treated this as a damage to the national pride and decided not to send its team for the T20 World Cup 2026, citing security threats when none existed.
The Pakistan Cricket Board initially tried to express solidarity with the BCB. It threatened that the PCB would support BCB and would also not play in the T20 World Cup 2026. They even suggested that the group stages matches of Bangladesh could be played in Pakistan. The ICC rejected these suggestions.
Rashid Latif’s Suggestion
Former Pakistan Cricketer and wicketkeeper Rashid Latif has urged the PCB to boycott the T20 World Cup 2026. Rashid, famous for being one of earliest whistleblowers who exposed match-fixing and corruption in Pakistan cricket, remarked that it is high time that the Pakistan Cricket Board supports the genuine cause of the BCB.
How Can ICC Punish Bangladesh?
The BCB and its players are likely to lose a massive amount of money if they decide not to play in the T20 World Cup 2026. The ICC can punish the BCB in many ways: it can impose financial penalties amounting to 200,000 dollars, loss of guaranteed tournament revenue, a reduction or suspension of BCB’s annual share, and a negative impact on Bangladesh’s ICC rankings. ICC could even suspend BCB temporarily and may deny or strip the country of any future rights to host ICC tournaments.
BCB may be counting on PCB to help it but the PCB has no powers whatsoever to be the “big brother”.

The Importance of Empowering the Girl Child
Girls represent more than just family members because they are the future of our country.

Girls’ empowerment requires education, access to healthcare, and equal opportunity, enabling girls to develop their full potential and make valuable contributions to society. Education serves as the primary instrument enabling this mission to succeed.

Beti Bachao Beti Padhao: A Step Towards Change
The Government of India launched the ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ (BBBP) program in 2015 to establish one of its most vital programs for safeguarding and advancing the rights of girl children. By early 2025, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao helped re-enroll over 100,786 out-of-school girls, improved the Sex Ratio at Birth from 918 to 930, and strengthened school infrastructure by increasing functional girls’ toilets from 92.1% to 97.4%. The scheme also promoted financial security through Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, with 4.5 lakh accounts opened in North Gujarat alone, highlighting its wide reach and lasting impact on girls’ lives.
The program focuses on:
Preventing gender-based discrimination:
The program works to improve the child sex ratio situation in India while educating people about the dangers of female infanticide.
Promoting education:
The BBBP program provides girls with access to high-quality educational opportunities which support their educational journey from school through college.
Creating awareness:
The organization works together with local communities to change their beliefs about girls by showing that girls have equal value to society.
PM Modi: North Conquered, Focus on South, BJP Set to Fight it Out in TN and Kerala, PM’s Push Decoded
PM Modi: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has started a high-octane campaign across the southern states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Modi targeted incumbent state governments and urged people to vote for members of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
PM Modi Rally In Kerala
Modi started his tour of South with a rally in Thiruvananthapuram. He launched an all-out attack on the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government.
The Prime Minister accused the government of Kerala in a web of misgovernance, corruption and dangerous appeasement politics. Modi urged people to choose a pro-good governance administration while addressing a rally at the Putharikandam Maidan.
PM Modi also flagged off 3 Amrit Bharat trains and a passenger train. In an event attended by Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, PM Modi unveiled a series of development projects. He launched a UPI-linked, interest-free revolving credit facility in the form of PM SVANidhi Credit Card.
Modi went on to accuse the CPI(M)-led ruling alliance of creating challenges in the implementation of a series of central government schemes. The NDA Chief added the alliance is obstructing the implementation of piped water project and the PM Awas Yojana (Urban) while also preventing underprivileged children from accessing state-of-the-art schools.
PM Modi went on to blast the Vijayana-led government over the gold case pertaining to Sabarimala Temple. Modi remarked the traditions of Lord Ayyappa have been tarnished by the sitting government and our government once voted in power would put the culprits in jail.
In the electoral landscape of Kerala, the Bhartiya Janata Party has historically struggled. However, times are changing now. A few weeks back, BJP won in Thiruvananthapuram and has now the first Mayor from the party in Kerala.
Modi shared the stage with state BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar, BJP’s Thiruvananthapuram mayor VV Rajesh and NDA convener Tushar Vellappally.
CM Yogi Adityanath’s UP Sthapna Divas Special: Top 5 Achievements That Made Uttar Pradesh Shine Under Baba
CM Yogi Adityanath:As Uttar Pradesh marks its Sthapna Divas, the occasion offers a moment to reflect on the transformation the state has witnessed under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Often referred to as Baba by supporters, Yogi’s tenure has been defined by structural reforms, rapid infrastructure growth, and a renewed focus on governance.
Here are the top five achievements that have reshaped Uttar Pradesh’s image and performance.
1. Law and Order Overhaul
One of the most visible changes has been the improvement in law and order. Crackdowns on organised crime, faster police response, and strict action against mafias have altered public perception. The government claims a significant decline in serious crimes, helping restore investor and citizen confidence.
2. Expressway and Infrastructure Boom
Uttar Pradesh has emerged as an expressway hub under Yogi Adityanath. Projects like the Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, Agra–Lucknow, and Ganga Expressways have improved connectivity, boosted logistics, and attracted private investment. Infrastructure development has become a cornerstone of the state’s economic push.
3. Ayodhya Ram Mandir and Religious Tourism
The construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya has positioned Uttar Pradesh as a global religious tourism destination. Massive redevelopment of Ayodhya, Kashi, and Mathura has strengthened cultural identity while generating employment and tourism revenue.
4. Economic Growth and Investment Summits
Through the Global Investors Summit and single-window clearance systems, UP has attracted investments across the manufacturing, electronics, and renewable energy sectors. The state has consistently ranked high in ease-of-doing-business reforms, challenging its earlier reputation.
5. Welfare Schemes and Social Outreach
From free ration distribution and housing schemes to healthcare initiatives, welfare delivery has been expanded using digital platforms. Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT) have reduced leakages and ensured wider reach among rural and urban beneficiaries.
A Defining Chapter for Uttar Pradesh
As Uttar Pradesh celebrates its foundation day, CM Yogi Adityanath’s governance reflects a mix of administrative firmness, infrastructure-led growth, and cultural revival. While challenges remain, the state’s transformation over recent years has placed it firmly in national and global conversations.
Assi Pay Reveal: Lead Actress Taapsee Pannu Not At The Top, THIS Insider Charged More And Explains Why – Check!
In Anubhav Sinha’s upcoming investigative thriller Assi, writer Gaurav Solanki has emerged as the highest-paid member of the film’s crew, earning even more than lead actress Taapsee Pannu. Speaking to news agency PTI, Solanki said this milestone sets a new benchmark in Hindi cinema and called it a respect that was long overdue.
The revelation was highlighted in the first official poster of Assi, released on social media earlier this week. It reads – “Believe it or not, the highest paid crew member on this film is the writer.” Solanki revealed that he only recently learned the full extent of his pay, though he did not share the exact figure.
Gaurav Solanki: “It’s About Respect, Not Just Money”
For Solanki, the pay is more than just a personal achievement. He explained, “I believe it sets a new benchmark in Hindi cinema, and I feel happy and proud that this has happened. It is not just about money; it is about respect that was long overdue. So it is definitely a good thing for the entire writers’ community because the script is the backbone of a film.”
He added, “Whether it is a big tentpole movie or a smaller-budget film, they all start as a story on a plain white paper. So in a way, we are definitely making a statement with this film that writers and the script get the respect they deserve, at least in content-driven cinema.”
About Taapsee Pannu Starrer Assi
Assi is an intense investigative thriller and courtroom drama. Taapsee Pannu plays a righteous lawyer tackling serious social issues. According to Solanki, the story revolves around an assault on a workaholic woman and explores the effect of such an incident on the survivor’s life. It also explores the impact it has on the life of the accused or perpetrators and how the justice system works. It’s an investigative thriller and a courtroom drama around that.
The film explores critical social concerns, particularly sexual violence and harassment in India, under the tagline “Eighty. Per Day. Every Day.” The narrative reportedly follows the search for justice after a young woman fails to return home one night.
Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Assi marks his third collaboration with Taapsee Pannu, after Mulk and Thappad. The film also features Kani Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra and Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub. Veteran actors Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak and Seema Bhargava appear in special roles.
Produced by Benaras Mediaworks and T-Series, Assi is set for a worldwide theatrical release on February 20, 2026.
Iran-US War Imminent? Iran Earthquakes Raises Nuclear Fears, Deepens Mistrust And Hardens Security Postures, Netanyahu And Donald Trump Worried
Iran US War: Seismic activities in Iran have surged, triggering fresh speculation over nuclear activity. Within a week, the country has witnessed 99 earthquakes.
Political experts believe that the recent spike in earthquakes is likely to raise nuclear fears, deepen mistrust and harden security postures from West Asia to the Indo‑Pacific. The political impact would be shaped more by how Israel, Washington, Moscow, Beijing and Tehran weaponize the narrative.
Iran Earthquakes-What Is Happening in Iran?
The seismological network of Iran recorded 99 earthquakes nationwide in a single week in January. The clustering of tremors near strategically sensitive central provinces inevitably feeds speculation amid escalating hostility with the United States and Israel.
Analysts warned that any perceived link between seismic events and nuclear testing would rapidly translate into calls for fresh sanctions, investigations and pressure on Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Impact On Israel
Israeli authorities are likely to carefully read heightened seismic chatter and social‑media rumours as justification for keeping military options “on the table” against any suspected covert nuclear work. It would also give diplomatic ammunition to Israel to press the United States and European allies for more aggressive intelligence-sharing and missile‑defence integration.
Iran US War-Impact on Washington
Washington is already on edge, with US President Donald Trump issuing severe warnings of “devastating retaliation” if Iran attempts assassinations or attacks on US troops, even as its forces surge into the region.
Impact on Russia and China
Russia views Iran as a crucial partner for its war in Ukraine, relying on Iranian drones and weapons, and has already warned that US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities risk uncontrolled escalation. A narrative of “mysterious quakes” around bombed sites allows Moscow to paint Washington and Israel as reckless actors endangering nuclear safety, strengthening Russia’s own positioning as a supposed defender of international law.
China, meanwhile, has deep energy and infrastructure stakes in Iran and the broader West Asian corridor under the Belt and Road framework. Beijing will likely push for restraint and IAEA‑led verification, trying to avoid a conflagration that could disrupt oil flows and shipping routes while also exploiting US–Iran–Israel tensions to present itself as a responsible mediator in the Global South.
Delhi News: Cold Wave Back Sans Pollution? Temperature to Nosedive With Snow, Rain, Check IMD Report
Delhi News:Delhi is set to experience a renewed spell of winter chill as temperatures are expected to dip sharply over the next few days, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The cold wave conditions are being driven by fresh western disturbances, bringing rain to the plains and snowfall to the higher reaches of North India.
Temperature Drop Likely Across Delhi-NCR
Delhi News: IMD forecasts suggest that minimum temperatures in Delhi could fall by 2–4 degrees Celsius, with chilly northerly winds intensifying the cold wave effect. Daytime temperatures are also expected to remain below normal, making mornings and evenings particularly cold across the national capital and surrounding NCR regions.
Rain in Plains, Snowfall in Hills
A western disturbance moving across northwest India is expected to trigger light to moderate rainfall in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and western Uttar Pradesh. At the same time, moderate to heavy snowfall is predicted in parts of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu & Kashmir. This weather system is likely to persist for the next 48–72 hours.
Will Cold Winds Clear Delhi’s Air?
One positive outcome of the changing weather could be an improvement in Delhi’s air quality. Increased wind speed and rainfall may help disperse pollutants, offering temporary relief from smog. Early indicators suggest the Air Quality Index (AQI) could shift from the “poor” to “moderate” category if conditions remain favourable.
IMD Advisory for Residents
IMD has advised residents to take precautions against cold wave conditions, especially during early morning and late-night hours. People with respiratory issues, children, and the elderly are urged to limit prolonged outdoor exposure. Farmers have also been alerted about possible crop stress due to falling temperatures.
What to Expect Next
Meteorologists say that while the cold wave may intensify briefly, temperatures could stabilise after the western disturbance moves eastward. However, winter conditions are expected to linger, with intermittent cold days likely through the week.
Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh: Washington To Woo Pro-Pakistan Islamist Party Before Elections, Should This Worry New Delhi?
Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh: Recent media reports have suggested that Washington is likely to woo Jamaat-e-Islami, the Islamist party of Bangladesh, before the upcoming elections.
Jamaat is likely to deliver a winning performance in the February 12 elections. Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League Party is already banned from the Bangladesh elections. Tarique Rahman, the Party chair of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, is yet to find the “connection“.
Now comes the interesting part – the Jamaat-e-Islami has a pro-Pakistan tilt. Washington’s decision to stay too close to it may backfire as New Delhi may be against anyone who favours Pakistan.
Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh-US Connection
Donald Trump wants the leaders of Jamaat to be friends. It is believed that Washington is encouraging journalists to bring the Islami Chhatra Shibir, the influential party wing of the Jamaat, onto their television programs.
A fundamentalist Islamic Party, Jamaat-e-Islami has a history of being banned for anti-national activities. The party was first banned in 1972 after the country achieved its independence due to its alleged role in the 1971 genocide. In 2013, it was banned again and the Bangladesh High Court deregistered it as a political party. In August 2024, a fresh ban was imposed by the Awami League government but it was reversed by the interim government later that month.
The Growing Popularity of Jamaat
Jamaat-e-Islami seems to have reinvented itself, unsettling minority communities and traditional moderates. Since Sheikh Hasin was thrown out, the party has been trying hard to emphasize on welfare and anti-corruption outreach to win voters and broaden its appeal.
An International Republican Institute (IRI) poll revealed that the Jamaat is “liked” by more than 53 percent of the respondents. Last year, the student wing of Jamaat won major student union elections at Dhaka and other prominent universities.
Some of the party’s Islamist coalition partners have exited the Jamaat-led electoral alliance, underscoring the Islamic Bloc’s tactical and ideological frictions.
Border 2 Actor Varun Dhawan Gets Support From Mentor Karan Johar Amid Heavy Trolling For His One-Sided Smile
Actor Varun Dhawan has received strong support from his mentor Karan Johar after facing heavy trolling online for his smile in the upcoming film Border 2. The actor was targeted on social media after the release of the film’s trailer and song, with many users mocking his “one-sided” smile.
The criticism quickly gained traction, turning into memes and debates. However, Karan Johar stepped in to defend his mentee and called out the negativity around the actor.
Taking to Instagram Stories on Friday, the filmmaker made it clear that online noise does not decide an artist’s value. He strongly criticised what he described as “noisemakers” and defended Varun against unfair judgement.
Karan Johar Backs Varun Dhawan Amid Border 2 Trolling
Karan Johar did not hold back while responding to the trolling. He wrote that social media users can troll an artist for his smile, but then he laughs when the film releases to packed houses and he receives pure, authentic audience love.
The filmmaker further added, “Has to be said… the reason why it’s called a virtual world! Real will always score and prove the noise on social media as defunct!”
Karan added, “You can troll an artist for his smile, but then he laughs when the film releases to packed houses and he receives pure authentic audience love! So noisemakers and clickbait-seeking content creators can do what they like … truth will always prevail!”
Karan Johar’s Instagram Story
Apart from defending Varun, Karan also praised Border 2, which he has already watched. Sharing the film’s poster on Instagram, he wrote, “Border 2 moved me to tears in many scenes. Patriotism with a beating heart! Sure shot winner.” He also tagged Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty and the film’s makers.
Why Was Varun Trolled And How He Reacted
The trolling began soon after the release of Border 2 promotional material. Social media users focused on Varun’s “one-sided” or lopsided grin. Many felt his expressions and “fun, urban image” did not match the serious role of a soldier. Some even questioned his casting as Colonel Hoshiar Singh Dahiya.
Instead of reacting angrily, Varun handled the criticism with humour. During an Instagram Live session, he joked that his smile was trending. He even gave singer Vishal Mishra a “smile tutorial” by saying, “smile completely, then drop half from one side.”
In Border 2 (2026), Varun Dhawan plays Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya (PVC), a real-life hero from the 3 Grenadiers regiment during the 1971 Indo-Pak War. His character leads a crucial mission during the Battle of Basantar to capture the strategic Pakistani post of Jarpal.
The film’s climax shows him badly injured while defending his position with a machine gun. He is later rescued by Fateh Singh Kaler, played by Sunny Deol. While the characters played by Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty are shown as martyrs, Varun’s character survives and is honoured with the Param Vir Chakra for his bravery.
‘Self-Proclaimed Critic’ Kamaal R Khan ARRESTED After Firing Four Bullets In Andheri, Makes THIS Excuse To Escape Charges
Kamaal R Khan Arrested: Actor and self-proclaimed film critic Kamaal R Khan (widely known as KRK) has landed in legal trouble after a gunfire incident in Mumbai’s Andheri area. Mumbai Police arrested him on Friday after questioning him over firing four bullets at a residential building in Oshiwara on January 18.
The incident quickly grabbed attention due to KRK’s strong social media presence and long history of controversies. While no one was injured, police are treating the matter seriously because of the safety risk involved.
Kamaam R Khan Arrested, Questioned By Police
During questioning, KRK told the police that the firing was unintentional. He claimed the gun went off while he was cleaning his licensed firearm. According to him, he fired the bullets only to check the gun’s “functionality.” He also told the police that he never meant to hurt anyone.
As per sources, KRK said he aimed the gun towards a large mangrove forest in front of his house. He believed the bullets would get lost in the dense greenery. However, things went wrong due to strong winds at the time. The bullets allegedly travelled beyond the mangroves and hit a residential building in Oshiwara.
Police officials later confirmed that the bullets were recovered from inside the building. Thankfully, no residents were harmed. Still, the incident raised serious concerns, leading to immediate action by the police.
Mumbai Police detained KRK after detailed questioning. During the probe, he admitted that the firing was done using his licensed gun. Officials are now verifying his claims to find out whether the act was due to negligence or something else. At present, the motive behind the firing remains unclear.
Meanwhile, Oshiwara police have seized the firearm used in the incident. The paperwork process is underway, and further action will depend on the investigation’s findings. Police are also checking whether firearm safety rules were violated.
The episode has once again put KRK in the spotlight. Known for his blunt and often provocative opinions, he frequently faces criticism, online backlash, and legal issues.
Who Is KRK?
Kamaal R Khan is an Indian actor, producer, writer and internet commentator. Born on January 1, 1975, in Deoband (Uttar Pradesh), he rose to attention after producing, writing and starring in the 2008 film Deshdrohi.
He gained wider recognition after appearing on Bigg Boss Season 3 in 2009. Later, he played a supporting role in Ek Villain (2014). Over time, KRK became more famous as a self-styled film critic than as an actor.
Today, he has a large following on YouTube and X, where his sharp reviews and controversial remarks about celebrities often spark heated debates. These opinions have also made him one of the most polarising figures in Bollywood’s digital space.
