Raja Shivaji Box Office Collection Day 8:Riteish Deshmukh’s historical epic Raja Shivaji is witnessing a gradual slowdown at the box office as it enters its second week. On Day 8, the film once again recorded a dip in collections, even though it continues to hover close to the Rs 60 cr mark in India net earnings. The film remains in focus due to its strong opening week, but the current trend shows cooling momentum.

The film opened to a powerful response and crossed key milestones quickly in its first week. However, weekday drops and softer occupancy levels are now affecting its pace. While weekend boosts earlier helped build a strong base, sustaining that energy has become a challenge as new weekdays set in.

Raja Shivaji Box Office Collection Day 8

According to Sacnilk, Raja Shivaji collected around Rs 3.20 cr net in India on Day 8. This marks a further decline from the previous day and confirms a continued downward trend in its second week. With this, the film’s total India net collection stands at approximately Rs 55.85 cr. The numbers suggest that while the film is still performing steadily in select regions, overall footfall has reduced on weekdays. Occupancy levels also dipped across multiple circuits, though Maharashtra and a few core markets continue to support the film better than others.

Raja Shivaji is now just a step away from the Rs 60 cr milestone. However, the speed of earnings has clearly slowed down. The film’s current trajectory suggests that reaching the mark is likely, but the timing will depend heavily on weekend growth. Trade reports indicate that a stronger second weekend could help the film cross Rs 60 cr comfortably.

Whether Raja Shivaji can surpass the lifetime collection of Riteish Deshmukh’s earlier success Ved. The gap has narrowed and the record will be achieved soon.

About The Film

Directed by Riteish Deshmukh himself, Raja Shivaji chronicles the formative years and rise of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The plot focuses on his defiant vow to establish Swarajya (self-rule) amidst the dominance of the Adil Shahi and Mughal empires. A central pillar of the narrative is the high-stakes psychological and physical battle against the formidable commander Afzal Khan, alongside his deep-rooted bond with his mother Jijabai and his elder brother Sambhaji Shahaji Bhosale.

The film features a star-studded cast, with Riteish Deshmukh portraying the titular legendary warrior. He is joined by Sanjay Dutt, who plays the antagonist Afzal Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in the role of Sambhaji Shahaji Bhosale. The ensemble is rounded out by Vidya Balan, Bhagyashree and Genelia Deshmukh, with a notable special appearance by Salman Khan as the loyal warrior Jiva Mahala.

Why Bhagwant Mann’s New ‘Meri Rasoi’ Scheme Is Being Viewed as a Kitchen-Level Welfare Push in Punjab

Bhagwant Mann launches ‘Meri Rasoi’ scheme from Sangrur, a new welfare scheme to provide affordable food and grassroots support to vulnerable communities. The scheme is aimed at providing nutritious meals at low cost to workers, daily wagers and economically weaker sections.

Affordable Food Access Focus

As part of the initiative, meals are to be made available at subsidised rates at community kitchens and food distribution points. The government says the scheme is designed to help ease the burden on low-income households as the cost of living rises. Officials believe such support can make a meaningful difference for labourers, migrant workers and people struggling with day-to-day expenses.

A campaign on governance for welfare.

The Punjab government is touting the launch of ‘Meri Rasoi’ as part of its larger welfare-centric governance model. Bhagwant Mann said that the initiative is a reflection of the administration’s commitment towards reaching out to people at the grassroots level rather than confining the welfare to announcements on paper.

Selected starting point Sangrur

Sangrur, an important political stronghold for Mann, was chosen as the launching pad for the scheme. Local residents and party workers attended the event. The government emphasised its commitment to public welfare and community engagement. The administration hopes to gradually expand the initiative to more districts in Punjab.

Food and More: A Social Support Program

Officials say the scheme is about more than meals; it’s about creating a support system for those in economic hardship. Community kitchens are so often seen as places of dignity and inclusion, and of course, no hungry bellies. The government wants to foster closer ties with the masses by linking access to food and welfare outreach.

Towards Grassroots Welfare Politics

Bhagwant Mann: The ‘Meri Rasoi’ scheme also has political ramifications and further consolidates AAP’s image as a welfare-oriented government. Given the persisting economic and social challenges of Punjab, initiatives based on food security and public support are likely to continue being an important part of the government’s outreach strategy. 

Operation Sindoor: “48 Ghante Bharat Aur Hamle Karta To..”, Journalist Praises Flawless Indian Strikes, Blasts Pakistani Warfare!

Operation Sindoor: Pakistani journalist Moeed Pirzada has publicly challenged the official Pakistani narrative on Operation Sindoor by India, particularly on the effectiveness of its missile strikes and the scale of damage inflicted on Indian installations.

The statements of Pirzada and many other noted and reputed journalists from Pakistan have strongly refuted the tall claims made by Pakistani Army and government. Pirzada claims that there is a widening credibility gap between official briefings and external verification sources such as satellite imagery and international reporting.

Moeed Pirzada’s Claims On Operation Sindoor

Pirzada said a New York Times report revealed that Pakistan’s missile strikes failed to inflict any significant damage on Indian infrastructure. The journalist added that the missiles Pakistan fired didn’t cause any damage to India and added that India used two to three types of missiles and struck more than 24 targets with pinpoint accuracy.

One of the most contentious points addressed by Pirzada relates to Pakistan’s claim that India’s Udhampur Air Base had been destroyed or significantly damaged during the exchanges. He categorically rejected this assertion, stating that it did not align with available visual evidence. Pirzada said Pakistan’s claim about destroying the Udhampur Air Base is completely false and not even India’s runway was damaged.

Accurate And Powerful Indian Response

Pirzada further argued that Indian forces executed a coordinated and precise response, allegedly hitting more than two dozen targets inside Pakistani territory with what he described as “pinpoint accuracy.” He went on to comment that Pakistan’s missile systems may have suffered from accuracy limitations.

Pirzada has been booked by Pakistan’s National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) on allegations of running a campaign against state institutions through social media. The agency has accused him of spreading false and inflammatory content, an accusation that sits at the intersection of national security law and freedom of expression debates.

Interestingly, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has reportedly acknowledged the intensity of the strikes during a public address, stating that he was informed of the attacks on multiple Pakistani airbases during the early hours of the morning.

CM Mohan Yadav Takes MP Towards Energy Self-Reliance with 445 MW Solar Power

Mohan Yadav has accelerated Madhya Pradesh’s renewable energy drive with a massive 445 MW solar power addition, setting the state on the path to long-term energy self-sufficiency. The move is seen as part of a broader effort to strengthen clean energy infrastructure and reduce dependence on traditional sources of power.

Focus on clean, sustainable power

The growth of solar power is expected to significantly increase the state’s renewable energy capacity. The project will help meet rising electricity demand while supporting environmentally sustainable growth, officials said. With industries, cities and rural areas using more power year by year, the government is increasingly eyeing solar energy as a long-term solution.

Push for Energy Self-Reliance

The state government has been repeatedly emphasising the need to ramp up self-sufficiency in energy production. Madhya Pradesh aims to increase solar generation to reduce dependence on thermal power and bring down the overall cost of energy in the future. The initiative also aligns with India’s larger renewable energy objectives and thrust for greener infrastructure development.

Economic and Environmental Advantages

Apart from increasing electricity supply, the solar expansion is expected to create job opportunities during the construction and maintenance phases. Such projects help attract investment into the renewable energy sector, while also contributing to reduced carbon emissions and cleaner air quality, experts say.

Renewable Energy Emerging as a Major Growth Area

Renewable energy is being placed at the top of the state’s agenda by Mohan Yadav. Alongside urban development and infrastructure expansion, solar energy projects are being touted as a key pillar of future growth. As India accelerates its clean energy transition, Madhya Pradesh’s latest solar push highlights how states are increasingly competing to become leaders in sustainable power generation. 

Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 22: Akshay Kumar Starrer Maintains Strong Hold, Dominates Daadi Ki Shaadi After Ek Din

Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 22: Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla continues to show surprising stamina at the box office even after completing 22 days in theatres. The film is still pulling audiences despite multiple new releases like Ek Din, Raja Shivaji, and Daadi Ki Shaadi hitting cinemas in recent weeks. Its steady run indicates strong word-of-mouth and consistent audience interest.

The film has managed to stay relevant in its fourth week, which is not common for most big releases. While many films fade after the second week, Bhooth Bangla is holding its ground. The mix of horror and comedy, along with Akshay Kumar’s mass appeal, is helping it remain stable across key markets.

Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 22

According to Sacnilk, Bhooth Bangla collected Rs 1.75 crore net in India on Day 22. The film showed a flat trend with no major jump or drop, which signals steady audience turnout even in its later theatrical run.

The film was screened across 3,939 shows in India, keeping its presence strong in both urban centres and single-screen theatres. This consistency is helping it stay ahead of newer releases that are struggling to gain traction.

With Day 22 earnings, the total India net collection has reached around Rs 151.75 crore, while the India gross stands at approximately Rs 180.06 crore. Overseas markets also added around Rs 0.10 crore on the same day.

On the global front, Bhooth Bangla continues to perform well. The worldwide gross has now reached nearly Rs 233.01 crore, making it one of the notable mid-budget successes of 2026.

Despite increasing competition, the film has not shown a sharp decline. Instead, it is slowly adding numbers day by day, which reflects long-lasting audience interest rather than a front-loaded opening.

Even with fresh releases like Daadi Ki Shaadi and Ek Din entering theatres, Bhooth Bangla is still drawing steady footfall. Trade reports suggest that both new films have failed to make a strong impact, allowing Akshay Kumar’s film to continue its dominance in the current box office cycle.

Industry observers point out that the film’s horror-comedy appeal, combined with Priyadarshan’s storytelling style, is working well with family audiences.

About Bhooth Bangla

Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla stars Akshay Kumar in a dual role as Arjun and Madhav Acharya. The cast also includes Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Mithila Palkar and Asrani.

The story follows Arjun, who inherits a haunted ancestral palace in Mangalpur. What begins as a family wedding soon turns into a supernatural nightmare involving a mysterious curse and eerie forces.

Bhagwant Mann Rejects Rollback Demand, Slams Opponents’ Hypocrisy on Sacrilege Law

Bhagwant Mann has vehemently opposed calls for revoking Punjab’s sacrilege law, taking a hardline stance against criticism from opposition. The Chief Minister alleged that the opposition parties were adopting a double standard and using the sensitive issue for political convenience rather than in public interest.

Opposition Criticism Over ‘Hypocrisy’

Mann, reacting to the attack by opposition leaders, said the question is why are the parties that supported strong action on sacrilege, opposing the move of the government. He said political rivals were shifting their stance according to electoral calculations instead of taking a consistent stand on protecting religious sentiments.

Government Defends Hard Line

The Punjab government said the law was to maintain communal harmony and to respect the sentiments of the people. Officials said incidents of sacrilege have time and again triggered unrest in the state and stronger provisions are needed in law to ensure peace and accountability.

Political Fight Heats Up

The issue has now become a major political flashpoint in Punjab with both ruling party and opposition trying to shape public opinion. Critics say the law could be abused or used as a political weapon but supporters say it is a measure of the seriousness with which the government is treating religious sensitivity.

Mann Paints Govt. as Tough on Sentiments

Bhagwant Mann has tried to project his government as one which does not compromise on issues related to faith and public sentiment with his comments. The strong response also suggests the government is not going to ease its stance despite mounting political pressure. 

Uttarakhand News: Bharat Petroleum Hospital At Kedarnath Temple Inaugurated By CM Dhami! Game-Changer For Char Dham Healthcare?

Uttarakhand News: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has announced the launch of the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited Hospital at Kedarnath Temple. The hospital’s facilities would be managed by the Swami Vivekananda Health Mission Society.

Uttarakhand News-What Challenges Will It Solve?

Healthcare infrastructure in high-altitude pilgrimage regions has always been a major challenge in India, especially in places like Kedarnath, where geography, weather conditions and massive seasonal footfall intersect.

Kedarnath, which is situated at a high altitude and accessible only through strenuous trekking routes or limited helicopter services, witnesses lakhs of pilgrims during the annual Char Dham Yatra season. In such conditions, even minor health issues can escalate rapidly, making timely medical attention crucial. The establishment of this hospital addresses a long-standing gap in emergency preparedness and healthcare infrastructure.

The hospital would help strengthen emergency and primary healthcare in one of the most remote yet spiritually significant regions of the country. It would act as a strategic intervention in a region where medical emergencies can quickly turn life-threatening because of difficult terrain and limited accessibility.

Benefits For The Common Man

CM Dhami reiterated that the government and district administration are prioritizing healthcare services to ensure smooth pilgrimage operations.  The Uttarakhand CM also noted that multiple medical arrangements have already been deployed along the Yatra route, including on-route doctors and paramedical staff, health check-up centres at key points, oxygen supply facilities for altitude-related emergencies and emergency medical response systems.

Importantly, the hospital is expected to function not just during peak pilgrimage season but also support local residents living in and around Kedarnath. This dual-purpose approach enhances its long-term value, turning it into a year-round healthcare lifeline rather than a seasonal facility.

The state government is also working toward establishing at least one medical college in every district. This long-term plan aims to strengthen medical education, increase the availability of trained healthcare professionals and improve access to specialized treatment in rural and mountainous regions.

The now-viral video reportedly emerged from protest locations in Patna where large groups of aspirants had gathered to demonstrate against issues connected to the BPSC Teacher Recruitment Examination 4.

Many users have demanded strict action against the personnel involved, calling the act an insult to the nation and its constitutional values.

The controversy also reopened discussions about training and conduct standards during public protests. Some observers argued that officials deployed in high-pressure situations should receive greater sensitization regarding the handling of national symbols and interactions with demonstrators.

Social Media Reactions

Others demanded an official clarification from the Bihar Police and the state administration regarding the authenticity of the clip and the actions shown in the video.

Several netizens also pointed out that law enforcement officers are expected to uphold constitutional values and serve as role models during public demonstrations.

‘Tara Singh’s Soul Possessed You…’ Ameesha Patel MOCKED After Her Explosive Posts On Bollywood’s PR Culture

Ameesha Patel On Bollywood PR Culture and Fake Stardom

Ameesha Patel has once again found herself at the centre of a social media storm after her explosive comments on Bollywood’s PR culture went viral. The actress recently took sharp digs at younger actresses and accused some of using aggressive PR machinery to project themselves as “number one” stars despite not having major solo blockbusters.

Her posts quickly triggered heated debate online. While a section of users supported her blunt take on manufactured stardom, many others mocked the actress and questioned her own career graph.

Ameesha Patel Questions Bollywood’s ‘Fake Stardom’

Through a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, Ameesha Patel argued that true superstardom cannot be created through PR campaigns or media narratives. According to her, actors earn superstar status only after delivering massive box office successes that leave a lasting impact on audiences.

The actress also criticised the growing obsession with online rankings and image-building in Bollywood. She claimed that several actresses without even one major solo blockbuster are still being projected as top stars through publicity strategies.

Ameesha further stressed that global stardom comes only when films perform on a massive worldwide scale and not because of carefully managed PR headlines.

Check out her posts below

Ameesha Patel Faces Trolls After Viral Remarks

Soon after her comments started trending online, many users began trolling the actress and mocking her statements.

Reacting to her remarks, one user wrote, “Almost 35 yrs of career. 2 hits. Those too despite your super overacting, not because of it. Film offers to u were rare because ur talent was rarer. The only consistent role you mastered was doing “special favors” for producers like VB. Time 2 stop calling yourself a superstar.”

Another commented, “Sorry to say but it applies to you as well…you aren’t a good actor by any stretch of imagination to be honest…men like you for reasons you know best.”

A third user laughed and said, “What a scene you’ve caused today, has Tara Singh’s soul possessed you or what??”

One more social media user joked, “Don’t leak Bollywood secrets or they will ban you from everywhere.”

Despite the criticism, Ameesha’s posts have continued to generate strong reactions across social media platforms.

Ameesha Patel Brings Up Gadar And Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai

Backing her argument, Ameesha highlighted some of her biggest career successes, including Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. She claimed these films remain among the most loved blockbusters and continue to enjoy strong audience recall even years later.

The actress also teased Gadar 3 and hinted that the upcoming sequel would be mounted on an even bigger scale. According to Ameesha, the film could create massive excitement in theatres whenever it releases.

Ameesha Patel’s Upcoming Projects

On the work front, Ameesha Patel was last seen in Gadar 2, which emerged as one of the biggest box office hits of the year and marked a major comeback for the actress.

She is also expected to return with Humraaz 2, the sequel to the 2002 thriller Humraaz. Recently, producer Ratan Jain revealed in an interview that the sequel could move forward if the team finalises the right script for Akshaye Khanna and Bobby Deol.

Rajasthan Viral Video: A shocking viral video from Rajasthan has gripped social media users across the country.

Rajasthan Viral Video-Turn Of Events

In the video, a mechanic on a bike could be seen being violently blown to pieces after an alleged air conditioner compressor exploded post him dropping a man from the bike.

The viral video triggered debates on whether incident was a tragic workplace accident caused by extreme heat or was it a pre-planned murder. Some users believe the mechanic fell victim to the AC blast intensified by Rajasthan’s scorching summer temperatures, while others suspect foul play and claim the incident does not entirely add up.

Social Media Comments

A user commented, “This video genuinely disturbed me. If an AC compressor can explode with such force, mechanics need far better safety gear and training. People underestimate how dangerous these repair jobs really are.” Another commented, “The way he was blown into pieces looks really terrifying. Not jumping to conspiracy theories, but authorities should release a proper explanation soon. Social media speculation is getting out of control.”

A user wrote, “Rajasthan heat this year has been unbearable. Machines running continuously in such temperatures can become deadly. This incident is a serious wake-up call.” Another user commented, “I showed this video to an AC technician friend. He said compressor blasts can happen, especially with pressure build-up. Still, the footage looks absolutely shocking.”

A user wrote, “The internet always turns tragedies into mysteries. Within hours people started creating theories without evidence. That is dangerous and irresponsible.” Another commented, “The CCTV clip raises many questions. But social media edits and slow-motion analyses can easily mislead viewers. Facts matter more than viral theories.”

Alia Bhatt Fights With Neetu Kapoor Over Daughter Raha For This Reason, Veteran Actress Says ‘Let Me Spoil Her…’

Bollywood star Alia Bhatt may be a strict parent at home, but grandmother Neetu Kapoor seems to have very different plans for little Raha. In a candid conversation, Neetu Kapoor revealed that she often has playful disagreements with Alia over parenting choices, especially when it comes to spoiling her granddaughter.

The veteran actress recently appeared on All About Her podcast, where she opened up about Raha’s upbringing and praised Alia Bhatt for being a careful and disciplined mother. However, Neetu admitted that she loves pampering Raha and keeps trying to bend some of Alia’s strict rules.

Alia Bhatt Is Strict About Raha’s Lifestyle

Talking about Alia Bhatt’s parenting style, Neetu Kapoor said the actress is extremely particular about Raha’s routine and habits. Neetu shared, “Alia is a disciplinarian. She is teaching her the right things.”

She further explained that Alia carefully monitors Raha’s screen time and eating habits. Neetu revealed, “No TV, no unnecessary exposure, and she’s very particular about what Raha consumes. I am always fighting with her. I say – Come on, let me give her one chocolate. But Alia says – No, sugar is not good for her. I tell her – I’m the grandmother, let me spoil her a little.”

Alia Bhatt And Ranbir Kapoor’s Parenting Dynamic

Neetu Kapoor also spoke about how Raha shares different bonds with both her parents. According to her, Ranbir Kapoor is the fun parent, while Alia Bhatt handles discipline at home.

She said, “Raha listens to Alia, and Alia is a great mother. Ranbir is more like a friend. He chills with her, does all the fun things with her, but children are always a little more scared of their mother.”

The actress also noted that modern parenting has changed significantly because of social media and digital exposure. She explained that today’s parents are more cautious about children getting addicted to screens at an early age.

Neetu added, “I think social media scares them. Children can get addicted to screens very quickly, and today there’s so much exposure all around.”

Alia Bhatt Earlier Opened Up About Motherhood Anxiety

Earlier, Alia Bhatt had also spoken honestly about the emotional side of motherhood during a conversation with Sadhguru. The actress admitted that raising Raha brings both joy and constant worry. Alia had shared, “I am a mother to a three-and-a-half-year-old and she is the joy of my life. But I am worried all the time.”

She also revealed that Raha already has a competitive streak and dislikes losing. Recalling a small example, Alia said, “Even now, as my daughter grows up, she always wants to win. If someone else comes first, she’ll say they cheated. I tell her – no, they came first.”

During the discussion, Sadhguru advised Alia not to let worry dominate parenthood and encouraged her to learn from her child’s natural joy instead.

For the uninitiated, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor welcomed daughter Raha in November 2022, the same year they got married.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Mentor Recommends Test Debut For Run-Scoring Machine! Would Rajasthan Royals Opener Emulate Sachin Tendulkar?

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Indian cricket has never shied away from backing extraordinary teenage talent. From Sachin Tendulkar’s fearless arrival in 1989 to the modern rise of prodigies in the IPL era such as Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma and more, the country has often trusted raw genius over conventional timelines. Now, another teen sensation has entered that conversation – Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

The Rise Of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

The Rajasthan Royals youngster has rapidly become one of the most talked-about names in Indian cricket circles. At just the age of 15, he is already forcing experts, selectors and former cricketers to ask if the Indian cricket is witnessing the rise of another once-in-a-generation batting talent and can Vaibhav emulate The God of Cricket – Sachin Tendulkar.

In a recent statement, Zubin Bharucha, the Rajasthan Royals’ high-performance director and the man credited with identifying the potential of Vaibhav, remarked that the teen sensation should be fast-tracked into Test cricket, much like Sachin Tendulkar was decades ago.

The left-hander has already developed a reputation as a fearless run-scoring machine. The sheer volume of runs and the manner in which he scores them have delighted fans across the world.

His performances for Rajasthan Royals setups and age-group cricket have demonstrated a rare maturity. Most teenage batters rely heavily on instinctive strokeplay. Sooryavanshi, however, seems to understand tempo. He knows when to attack, when to absorb pressure and when to shift gears.

Zubin Bharucha’s comments underline just how highly Rajasthan Royals rate him. Bharucha openly suggested that by metrics such as scores, strike-rate and consistency, Sooryavanshi is already outperforming several players waiting for opportunities at higher levels.

Will Vaibhav Make His Test Debut Soon?

Bharucha has worked extensively with elite talent and understands the mental demands of top-level cricket. His willingness to advocate for an immediate India debut suggests he sees something exceptional in Sooryavanshi’s cricketing temperament.

More importantly, Bharucha referenced Sachin Tendulkar’s debut in 1989 against Pakistan. Sachin was only 16 when he faced the likes of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis and the gamble changed Indian cricket forever.

From IPL Franchise Owner to Devoted Grandfather: Sanjiv Goenka’s Wait for Virat Kohli Autograph Wins Hearts

Sanjiv Goenka: A heartwarming moment between Sanjiv Goenka and Virat Kohli is winning over cricket fans on social media. In the viral clip, the IPL franchise owner is seen waiting patiently to get an autograph from Kohli, not for himself but for his grandson. The simple gesture rapidly hit an emotional cord with viewers across social media.

Owner of More Than One IPL Team

Goenka is one of the most recognisable faces in the IPL business world and is often seen talking about team strategy, auctions and high-pressure decisions in cricket.

But in that moment, he showed a different side of himself, not so much the corporate guy but the proud grandpa who wanted to make a kid happy. Fans online called the interaction “wholesome,” “genuine” and “unexpectedly emotional.”

Virat Kohli’s Star Power Still Takes the Cake

The clip also reminded fans of the huge admiration Kohli continues to enjoy across generations. The former Indian captain’s popularity is unmatched, whether it’s young fans or senior business leaders. For many, it was a telling glimpse into the power of Kohli’s legacy in Indian cricket culture to see a high-profile IPL owner waiting for an autograph.

Reactions Pour into Social Media

Netizens reacted warmly to the viral moment, with many saying it showed the softer human side of people who are often viewed only through the lens of power and business. Others said that grandparents often go the extra mile for their grandchildren, making the scene relatable beyond cricket fandom.

The emotional side of cricket goes viral again

While in IPL moments usually go viral due to fiery reactions, celebrations or controversies. But this time it was a quiet exchange of emotion that caught the eye. The video served as a reminder that beyond the glitz of the league, cricket still creates deeply personal moments that connect generations of fans. 

Thalapathy Vijay: Would TVK Bow To VCK’s Demand For Deputy CM Post? The Numbers Game And Stability Quotient For Chief Ministership Explained

Thalapathy Vijay: The wait for Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) to see party supremo Thalapathy Vijay becoming the 23rd Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. This was after hints emerged that the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) would soon extend its support to Vijay to form the next state government.

Thalapathy Vijay-Has The Rollercoaster Drama Ended?

The Tamil Nadu government formation drama is nothing short of a rollercoaster. Earlier, the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) and TVK locked horns over the former’s MLA purportedly extending support to the TVK chief.

On the other hand, Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) Chief TTV Dhinakaran accused Vijay’s party of submitting a “forged letter’s photocopy” to the Governor. In response, TVK shared a video where the party’s lone MLA-elect Kamaraj was writing his letter supporting the TVK.

Party-wise Drama: The Numbers Game Explained

The Indian National Congress became the first party to support the TVK formally but has asked Vijay not to form any alliances with the BJP or NDA. It is also demanding 2 ministerial berths and a Rajya Sabha seat.

The Communist Party of India offered “conditional support” by supporting the government from outside; no cabinet positions have been demanded. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) would support TVK while remaining outside the cabinet. The Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi has demanded the Deputy Chief Minister’s post and a cabinet berth. The Indian Union Muslim League has denied supporting TVK after initially supporting Vijay and TVK. IUML national president Kader Mohideen remarked that his party would stay with the DMK alliance and added that Vijay should approach MK Stalin if he needs support.

Quiet Result-Day Strategy Schools Might Use When PSEB Result 2026 Traffic Becomes Too Heavy Online, Check

PSEB (Punjab School Education Board) will announce the Class 10 and 12 results for 2026 on May 11 and 13. This attracts many students to pseb.ac.in. However, heavy traffic often crashes the site, leading to frustration. Smart schools address this with “quiet result-day strategies,” which are low-key methods that share marks without any online hassle. These strategies help keep students calm while avoiding the chaos of high traffic.

Why PSEB Sites Overload

Result days see millions logging in at once, which spikes server load. In previous years, pseb.ac.in has struggled with traffic, leading to “site down” errors that last for hours. Schools are aware of this pattern, so they prepare backup plans to avoid panic.

Printed Mark Sheets First

Top schools print results overnight from PSEB data shares. By morning, students pick up sealed envelopes at the gate without needing logins. This “silent handover” reduces queues and allows kids to check privately at home. One principal from a Punjab school mentioned it stops 90% of website traffic. Quiet collection points like this help ease morning crowds. 

SMS and WhatsApp Blasts

Schools send scores based on roll numbers through bulk SMS or class WhatsApp groups early in the morning. A simple message like “Roll 12345: 85%. Congrats!” reaches all phones right away. No internet? No problem. This follows the same approach used in the 2025 PSEB 8th results. 

Offline Counseling Zones

Designated “calm corners” provide teacher chats, mindfulness sessions, and reviews of results. Kids talk about their scores in person, which helps reduce anxiety. Schools also organize meetings with parents, transforming chaos into support hubs. 

DigiLocker and Backup Portals

For tech-savvy backup, schools should refer to DigiLocker or indiaresults.com, which manage overflow better. Quiet mode prioritizes offline access first, ensuring that even rural students are included. These strategies make the result day calm, not chaotic. Schools benefit from planning ahead and focusing on students instead of servers.
