The heartwarming update quickly went viral on social media.

The couple made the announcement on Thursday, April 30, through a creative Instagram post. They shared a newspaper-style image designed like a breaking news front page. One side read “We’re Pregnant,” while the other said “Coming Soon,” along with baby-themed visuals.

Soon after the announcement, many stars congratulated the couple. Bharti Singh, Jamie Lever, Sunita Ahuja, Amol Parashar, Ishitta Arun, Gajraj Rao, Jaswir Kaur, Mahhi Vij and Delnaaz Irani were among those who sent their best wishes.

Gauahar Khan commented, “This is the happiest news. God bless u with safety and happiness at every step of this journey. Ameen .”

Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja wrote, “Congratulations, I told u in Navratri.”

Deepika Singh said, “Heartiest congratulations to both of you.”

Dipika Kakar commented, “Many congratulations! I am so happy for both of you.”

Mahhi Vij added, “Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

Sambhavna Seth’s Emotional Journey To Motherhood

The happy news comes months after Sambhavna Seth spoke openly about a painful IVF miscarriage in December 2024. In July 2025, she shared how she faced repeated bleeding during her first trimester but was told everything was normal.

Speaking on Gauahar Khan’s podcast, Sambhavna recalled, “We were so excited, as the next day was the announcement, sirf ek scan tha, uske pehle mere 2–3 scan ho gaye the, bleeding kaafi baar ho gaye the and all fine tha. Jab main scan tha humko pata tha ki sab theek hoga. Doctors ne bataya hi nahi ki IVF mein bohot saare bleeding hoti hai. Ek raat mein khadi hui raat ko, aur mein zor se Avinash chillaayi aur maine dekha ki baalti nikal rahi thi blood ki. Maina kaha it’s gone cause pata hi nahi tha. The next day, scan karaya, and everything was okay.”

She further added, “15 days earlier, I was feeling unwell and informed my doctor, but he told me it was an arthritis issue. However, my arthritis specialist disagreed and told me it was a sign of a miscarriage.”

About Sambhavna Seth And Avinash Dwivedi

Sambhavna Seth married longtime partner Avinash Dwivedi in July 2016. The couple later built a successful digital presence through their YouTube channel, Sambhavna Seth Entertainment, where they share vlogs, travel content and family moments.

On the professional front, Sambhavna Seth was last seen in the thriller series Mandala Murders.

Nepal Airlines: A sincere apology has been issued by Nepal Airlines after it wrongly demonstrated the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir as a part of Pakistan. The airlines posted on X that it apologizes for “cartographic inaccuracies” that don’t reflect the nation or airlines’ official position.

We sincerely apologize for error in the network map recently shared on our social media channels. The map contained significant cartographic inaccuracies regarding international boundaries that do not reflect the official stance of Nepal or Nepal Airlines. pic.twitter.com/E5MZSS8CjQ

Nepal Airlines-Turn Of Events

On Wednesday, the social media handle of Nepal Airlines shared a route map showing the entire state and Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh as part of Pakistan. The image quickly went viral on X and Facebook. Social media users blasted the negligence and termed it as anti-India agenda.

माय डियर नेपाल एयरलाइंस,

पोस्ट डिलीट करके भाग जाने से काम नहीं चलेगा। जबाब देना पड़ेगा। माफ़ी माँगिए या फिर मंशा बताइए की क्यू ऐसा किए ?

— Khesari Lal Yadav (खेसारी) (@khesariLY) April 29, 2026

Immediately, the hashtag #BoycottNepalAirlines started trending and social media users urged that a diplomatic protest with Nepal should be filed by the External Affairs (MEA) and the Aviation Ministry.

अंग्रेज़ी तो नहीं समझ पाए इतना भारी लेकिन लगा की माफ़ी माँग लिया गया हैं।

Nepal Repeats Mistake

On 15 May 2020, Nepal’s President Bidhya Devi Bhandari had remarked that the Himalayan nation would soon issue a revised map incorporating all of its “territories” including Lipulekh, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura that are presently disputed between India and Nepal.

India has been Nepal’s biggest lifeline for decades, from open borders, lakhs of jobs, trade routes, fuel, power, disaster aid, infrastructure & more. Yet Nepal Airlines casually displays Jammu & Kashmir as part of Pakistan on its flight map.

Highly irresponsible. Fix it… pic.twitter.com/bHS7ilTN9e
— Vocational Teachers' Association of Assam NSQF (@VTAA_NSQF) April 29, 2026

In 2025, India released a map demonstrating Kalapani within its borders, a move that was protested by Kathmandu. The two nations share a 1,800 km (1,118-mile) open border. It is being claimed by Nepal that it owns all territories east of the Kali (Mahakali) river, including Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipu Lekh as per the Sugauli Treaty of 1816.

India’s Longstanding Support To Nepal

India has long been one of Nepal’s closest partners, stepping in during times of crisis and contributing significantly to its development. From the devastating 2015 Nepal earthquake to recurring floods and infrastructure challenges, India has consistently provided humanitarian aid, financial assistance and logistical support.

Indian rescue teams were among the first to reach Nepal after the 2015 earthquake, conducting large-scale evacuation and relief operations. Reconstruction efforts that followed saw substantial Indian involvement, including in housing, education and cultural heritage restoration. Furthermore, millions of Nepali citizens live and work in India, benefiting from an open-border arrangement that is rare in international relations.

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office Collection Day 42: Only Rs 1 Cr, Ranveer Singh Film Undershoots Chhaava’s 6th Wednesday Record Despite Matching Pushpa 2

By

April 30, 2026

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office Collection Day 42: Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge continues to make noise at the box office, but Day 42 has delivered a slower update. The action entertainer earned only Rs 1 crore net on its 6th Wednesday, showing that the film is now entering the final stretch of its theatrical run. Despite the slowdown, the movie remains one of the biggest earners of the year.

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office Collection Day 42

As per Sacnilk, Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge has now collected Rs 1,132.99 crore net in India. Its worldwide gross stands at Rs 1,780.82 crore after 42 days. While these numbers are massive, weekday collections have naturally dipped compared to the film’s explosive early weeks.

The biggest talking point is the 6th Wednesday comparison. Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge collected Rs 1 crore, which puts it level with Pushpa 2 on the same day milestone.

However, the Ranveer Singh starrer could not beat Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which had earned Rs 1.40 crore on its 6th Wednesday. This makes Chhaava the stronger late-run performer on this particular benchmark. Even so, matching Pushpa 2 this deep into its run is still a notable achievement and shows that audience interest has not disappeared.

Despite lower daily numbers, Dhurandhar 2 is still chasing one giant target. The film is reportedly only a few crores away from crossing Baahubali 2’s worldwide benchmark.

If collections stay steady through the coming weekend, the Ranveer Singh film could move closer to another historic box office milestone.

Will Raja Shivaji Affect The Run?

With Raja Shivaji arriving in theatres, screen count pressure is expected to increase. New releases usually take priority in prime shows, which can impact holdover titles.

Because of that, Dhurandhar 2 may continue strongly in select centres for another week, but its wider theatrical run could begin slowing down after the new release settles in.

About Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge

The sequel follows Jaskirat Singh Rangi, played by Ranveer Singh, as he goes deeper into a dangerous undercover mission. The story focuses on revenge, terror networks and a high-risk operation across borders.

The film also stars Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Danish Iqbal with Yami Gautam in a cameo role.

US Iran War: “Not A Quagmire!” Hegseth Justifies Iran Costs, Oil Rockets to 4-Year High, Would Congress Approve $1.5 Trillion War Bill?

April 30, 2026

US Iran War: United States Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has denied that the war on the Islamic Republic of Iran is a quagmire (a difficult situation). Hegseth also justified the spending of $25 billion on war till date and demanded $1.5 trillion to continue and win the Iran war. Meanwhile, oil rocketed to a high of 4 years and surged to $122 a barrel, resulting in global market fallouts.

Under the previous administration, the Department of Defense’s financial reporting was a disaster — and had been for far too long.

US Iran War-Congress Hearing Updates

During the hearing on Capitol Hill, the United States Defence Secretary claimed that critics of the US Iran war posed a bigger threat to the United States of America than Iran itself.

Hegseth while appearing before the House Armed Services Committee alongside Gen Dan Caine, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, requested the lawmakers to approve a military spending of $1.5 trillion.

.@SECWAR "You talk to the colonels, majors, staff sergeants, and two-star generals, and you ask them about the environment of our military RIGHT NOW and its capabilities RIGHT NOW, compared to under the Biden administration and under Obama.

— DOW Rapid Response (@DOWResponse) April 29, 2026

Jules Hurst III, The Chief Financial Officer for the Pentagon, told the Committee that the approximate cost of the Iran war stands presently at $25 billion. Hurst specified that a significant majority of the incurred costs were spent on maintenance and replacement of equipment as well as military operations.

According to several sources, Hegseth deliberately suggested low war costs. The actual war expenses could be in the range of $40-$50 billion as America needs to rebuild US military installations and replace destroyed assets. Iranian strikes across the Middle East have caused massive damage to at least 9 US military sites. Tehran has targeted US installations in Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Hegseth Defends Iran War

Pete Hegseth defended the Trump administration to strike Tehran saying the Tehran war was an existential fight for American people’s safety and the Trump administration was proud of it.

In another development, US President Donald Trump continued his rhetoric by saying that the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would continue for weeks, pushing oil prices to $122 a barrel.

Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 13: Akshay Kumar Starrer Marches Towards THIS Mark, Holds Ground Amid Competition With Dhurandhar 2

By

April 30, 2026

Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 13: Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla continues to perform steadily at the box office despite fresh competition and holdover releases. The horror-comedy remained stable on Day 13 and is now just steps away from a major domestic milestone. The film’s strong second-week hold has surprised trade watchers and strengthened its successful theatrical run.

Even with Dhurandhar 2 staying active in cinemas, Bhooth Bangla has managed to attract audiences consistently. Family viewers, Priyadarshan’s comedy brand and Akshay Kumar’s star power have helped the film maintain momentum during weekdays, which is often considered the real test after a strong opening week.

Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 13

As per Sacnilk data, Bhooth Bangla earned Rs 3.40 crore net on Day 13. With this, the film’s total India net collection reached Rs 124.65 crore. The movie’s India gross stands at Rs 148.06 crore, while its worldwide gross has touched Rs 199.56 crore.

That means the film is now ready to cross two key marks very soon — Rs 125 crore net in India and Rs 200 crore worldwide. Both milestones are expected to be achieved with Day 14 collections.

The Day 13 number is important because weekday drops usually become sharper in the second week. However, Bhooth Bangla has shown a steady trend and healthy audience interest.

The Akshay Kumar starrer had closed Week 1 at Rs 84.4 crore net. From Day 8 to Day 13, it added around Rs 40.25 crore, which shows that the second week has remained solid.

While Dhurandhar 2 continues to occupy screens and attention, Bhooth Bangla has successfully held its space. Instead of slowing down sharply, the film has kept collections consistent. This suggests positive word-of-mouth and repeat family audience support.

Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 13

Day	India Net
Day 0	Rs 3.75 cr
Day 1 (1st Friday)	Rs 12.25 cr
Day 2 (1st Saturday)	Rs 19.00 cr
Day 3 (1st Sunday)	Rs 23.00 cr
Day 4 (1st Monday)	Rs 6.75 cr
Day 5 (1st Tuesday)	Rs 8.00 cr

Day 12 (2nd Tuesday)	Rs 4.35 cr
Day 13 (2nd Wednesday)	Rs 3.40 cr
Total	Rs 124.65 cr nett

About The Film

Released on 17 April 2026, Bhooth Bangla follows Arjun Acharya, played by Akshay Kumar, who returns to the haunted town of Mangalpur after inheriting his grandfather’s palace. What begins as a wedding celebration slowly turns into a dark mystery linked to an old demon legend.

The film also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Mithila Palkar and the late Asrani.

Form Temporary, Class Permanent? West Indies Great Stands by Jasprit Bumrah After He Concedes 54 in 4 Overs Against SRH

By

April 30, 2026

Jasprit Bumrah: Mumbai Indians’ main bowler Jasprit Bumrah had a nightmare spell against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026. SRH were 89/0 at the end of the powerplay, courtesy of full tosses, wides and drives from Head and Sharma. His 4 overs were for 54 runs without a wicket. MI fell 215 short, putting more pressure on their pace ace

Social media was ablaze with the hashtag “#BumrahSlump” trending and a barrage of memes. Is the workload of India’s Test series finally catching up?

West Indies Icon’s Thumping Defence

West Indies legend and pace pioneer put his foot down. He told Star Sports: “Form is temporary, class is permanent.” Recalling his 1990s horror overs, he added, “Bumrah’s yorker is poetry; one bad pitch can’t rewrite history.” Twitter went crazy. 500K impressions in just a few hours. Fans called it ‘evergreen wisdom’.

Unshakable Stats Talk Louder

Bumrah’s record defies critics:

IPL career: 183 wickets @ 6.98 eco
Vs SRH: 12 scalp pre-game @ 7.2.
Comeback king: 12 wickets in next 3 after 50-run spells (2024-26)

Speed drops to 142kph, but the seam movement is still there. The experts blame Hyderabad’s fat salary.

Fan Frenzy & Road Ahead

Jasprit Bumrah: Social media split: Optimists point to Bumrah’s T20 World Cup heroics; pessimists eye age. Yet, as the West Indies voice reminds, true class rebounds. MI’s next vs RCB? Expect vintage Bumrah—yorkers rattling stumps.

2026 Tamil Nadu Exit Polls: Vijay’s Bumper Entry To Rattle TN Politics? Will TVK Supremo Write Political Script Like MGR?

By

-

April 30, 2026

2026 Tamil Nadu Exit Polls: Exit poll predictions for the state of Tamil Nadu are almost out but confusion prevails over the election winner.

While the AIADMK alliance is likely to win around 124-148 seats followed by DMK-led front with 75-95 seats and Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) at 8-15 seats. However, Axis My India predicted that superstar Vijay could end up as the single-largest party. The big question now is, can Vijay replicate the political script once written by M G Ramachandran?

2026 Tamil Nadu Exit Polls-A Disruption In The Dravidian Stronghold

For over five decades, Tamil Nadu’s politics has largely revolved around two poles in the form of the DMK and the AIADMK with occasional but limited space for national parties. The 2026 exit polls suggest that this entrenched binary may be loosening.

TVK’s projected vote share, coupled with its performance across urban and semi-urban constituencies, indicates not just a protest vote but a deliberate shift among sections of the electorate.

— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) April 29, 2026

What makes Vijay’s entry particularly consequential is the timing. The AIADMK has been grappling with leadership questions since the passing of J Jayalalithaa, while the DMK, though institutionally stable under M K Stalin, faces the classic challenge of anti-incumbency.

The Vijay Factor: Beyond Stardom

Tamil Nadu has a long history of film personalities transitioning into politics, but success has been uneven. What distinguishes Vijay’s political foray is the methodical groundwork laid prior to electoral entry. His fan clubs, which have functioned as proto-political units for years, were reorganized into a disciplined cadre network.

Vijay’s political messaging has been notably calibrated. Rather than leaning solely on populist theatrics, his campaign has emphasized issues such as education reform, employment generation and anti-corruption. His speeches, while retaining cinematic flair, have also demonstrated a conscious attempt to engage with policy.

— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) April 29, 2026

The exit polls reflect this dual appeal. Younger voters, first-time voters, and segments of the middle class appear to have responded to a narrative of “clean alternative politics.” For now, though, Vijay has achieved something few newcomers manage in Tamil Nadu; he has compelled the state to take him seriously as a political contender.

“Sometimes It Hurts” Hardik Pandya Opens Up on Mumbai Indians’ Painful Disconnect With Fans After Another Crushing IPL 2026 Setback

By

April 30, 2026

The year 2026 is definitely not going to be remembered as a good year for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Yet another loss for the team has not only affected their tournament performance but also raised questions about their emotional connection with their fanbase. In an unusual display of candor, Captain Hardik Pandya admitted, “Sometimes it hurts.”

A Season Gone Off Course

This season has seen the Mumbai Indians struggle to establish any consistency. Games where it seemed like victory was within reach have slipped away because of bad execution in key moments. Neither the batting nor the bowling department of the team has been able to click as a unit.

Hardik Pandya’s Candid Admission

Instead of resorting to the usual post-game excuses, the captain chose to speak about the emotional side of the losses. He made it clear that he understands how difficult it is for the fans to support their favorite team through thick and thin.

Growing Disconnect With Fans

The Mumbai Indians have always had a passionate fan following. However, recent losses seem to be creating some disconnect between the team and their fans. What used to be cheers for the team has started becoming criticism.

Pressure Cooker of Leadership

Leadership of a team, such as the Mumbai Indians, comes with its challenges. Each move that Hardik Pandya makes has come under heavy scrutiny. Even though things do not seem to be going his way, his readiness to embrace the challenge demonstrates accountability.

Pressure to Perform from Consistently Losing

When teams keep losing, they face more than points deductions but also suffer from mental torture. The team experiences the pressure of delivering as well as the criticism that comes along with defeat.

2026 Bengal Exit Poll: Clean Sweep For BJP Or Mamata Banerjee’s Miracle Comeback? What’s Next for Maa Mati?

April 30, 2026

2026 Bengal Exit Poll: West Bengal elections are over and exit polls are indicating a mixed bag of results. Two exit polls (Peoples Pulse, Janmat Polls) are predicting a clear and definitive edge to the sitting Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress.

On the other hand, four exit polls (P-Marq, Praja Poll, Matrize and Poll Diary) are predicting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form the state government, for the first time in the state of West Bengal. JVC predicted a neck-and-neck contest between TMC and BJP. Has West Bengal voted for the Maa Mati cause or for a change?

What Do West Bengal Exit Polls Suggest?

A close fight was predicted by JVC between the Trinamool Congress (131-152 seats) and the BJP (138-159 seats). About 195 to 205 seats for Trinamool Congress and 80-90 seats for the BJP were preducted by Janmat Polls. In contrast, 193 seats for BJP in Bengal and 100 seats for Trinamool Congress were predicted by Praja Poll.

— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) April 29, 2026

BJP win in Bengal with 150-175 seats and a close second for Trinamool with 118-138 seats has been predicted by P-Marq. People Pulse predicts Trinamool sweep while Matrize and Poll Diary predict BJP will breach Trinamool fortress.

2026 Bengal Exit Poll-Record Voter Turnout Could Be The Gamechanger

The state of West Bengal recorded a staggering 92.47 percent voter turnout in the second and final phase of the state assembly elections. The first phase had recorded a whopping 91.66 percent. The second phase of voting is highly crucial for BJP as it includes South Bengal, the strongest fortress of TMC. The ruling party won 123, leaving just 1 for the ISF and 18 for BJP in 2021 elections.

According to political analysts, this could translate into a massive win for the Narendra Modi-led BJP as the anti-incumbency factor may have resulted in a shocking defeat for the ruling TMC.

In another development, the Election Commission of India has remarked that around 700 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) will stay deployed across the state even after polling completion.

Rahul Roy: ‘If You Make Fun Of My Struggles…’ Aashiqui Actor Rebukes Trolls After Being Mocked For Romancing Content Creator In Viral Reels

Rahul Roy Hits Back at trolls — Photo Credit: X

Rahul Roy is back in the spotlight after a series of viral Instagram reels sparked strong reactions online. The Aashiqui star was seen appearing with a content creator, lip-syncing and romancing to some of his old hit songs. While some fans felt emotional seeing the actor again, others mocked the videos and called them “cringe.”

The trolling soon turned into a bigger conversation after Rahul Roy posted an emotional message on Instagram. The actor addressed those making fun of him and explained why he continues to work despite health struggles and legal responsibilities.

Rahul Roy Responds To Viral Reels Backlash

Earlier this week, videos of Rahul Roy with content creator Dr Vanita Ghadage Desai began circulating widely on social media. In the clips, the actor was seen dancing and lip-syncing to classics like Tere Dar Pe Sanam and songs from Aashiqui and Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee.

Soon after the trolling began, Rahul Roy shared a heartfelt note. He wrote, “I do my work with honesty and modesty. I have some legal matters to pay for, and these are not from today, they are from before the brain stroke happened. If you mock my simplicity or make fun of my struggles, it says less about me and more about you. If you are truly so concerned, then help me find some genuine and decent work so I can pay for these cases. At least I am earning through hard work, not by mocking others”

Rahul Roy Opens Up About Stroke Recovery

The actor also spoke about staying active after suffering a brain stroke in 2020. He added, “And after the brain stroke, it is important for me to stay active. I want to work for as long as I am alive. It keeps my mind active and gives me the sense of purpose and responsibility that I am still working today. Yes, it may hurt a little sometimes, but you cannot break me.”

A post shared by Rahul Roy (@officialrahulroy)

His message received warm responses in the comments section. Filmmaker Farah Khan wrote, “Good luck to you Rahul”, while actor-host Maniesh Paul commented, “Love and respect, more power to you sir.”

Rahul Roy’s Journey From Aashiqui To Now

Rahul Roy became an overnight sensation with Mahesh Bhatt’s Aashiqui in 1990. He later appeared in films like Junoon, Gumrah, Pyaar Ka Saaya and Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee. He also won the first season of Bigg Boss in 2007.

In recent years, Rahul Roy has often made headlines for public appearances and viral videos.
