Bloating, constipation and digestive discomfort are common complaints in India. Surprisingly, a major reason behind this is the lack of sufficient fiber in daily diets. Dr Shubham Vatsya recently highlighted on Instagram that nearly 70% of Indians fail to meet their daily fiber intake requirements. This deficiency is not just linked to digestive issues but also contributes to metabolic diseases, blood sugar spikes and high cholesterol.

Increasing your fiber intake can be a game-changer for overall health, yet many overlook its importance. Let’s break down what you need to know about fiber and how to include it in your diet.

Soluble Vs Insoluble Fiber

Dr Vatsya explained that fiber comes in two main types, each offering unique benefits:

1. Soluble Fiber

  • Found in apples, oats, beans, whole moong, and flaxseeds.
  • Absorbs water to form a gel-like substance.
  • Helps bind bile and water, lowers cholesterol and regulates blood sugar.
  • Supports healthy gut bacteria, which feed on fiber and produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate. Butyrate nourishes colon cells and may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

2. Insoluble Fiber

  • Found in vegetables and whole grains like bajra, jowar, cabbage and carrots.
  • Acts like a natural brush inside the intestines.
  • Helps move waste smoothly, preventing constipation and bloating.

Incorporating both types of fiber ensures a healthy digestive system and supports overall metabolism.

How To Boost Your Daily Fiber Intake

Dr Vatsya recommends aiming for 25–30 grams of fiber daily from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Here’s how you can do it easily:

  1. Start Your Day With Fiber: Include oats or flaxseeds in breakfast.
  2. Eat More Vegetables: Add cabbage, carrots, or leafy greens to your meals.
  3. Include Whole Grains: Swap refined rice and flour with bajra, jowar, or whole wheat.
  4. Snack Smart: Eat fruits or nuts instead of processed snacks.
  5. Hydrate Well: Fiber works best when paired with adequate water intake.

Small changes like these can drastically improve gut health, reduce bloating and lower the risk of lifestyle diseases. Dr Vatsya emphasises that even a gradual increase in fiber is beneficial. There’s no need to overhaul your diet overnight.

By making fiber a priority, Indians can not only fix digestive issues but also boost their overall health. Meeting your daily fiber intake requirement is simple, sustainable, and impactful.

Akali & Congress govts deliberately kept Punjab’s children uneducated: CM Bhagwant Singh Mann

CM Bhagwant Mann

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Tuesday said that decades of Akali and Congress rule deliberately kept Punjab’s children uneducated while political families thrived, asserting that those parties were never concerned about public progress but only about securing power for their sons, daughters and relatives. Addressing a gathering in Sardulgarh after laying the foundation stone of a Government ITI that will skill 240 students every year, he said the BJP is now banking on defectors from other parties to chase electoral dreams, but Punjab has chosen a different path.

Emphasising that his government is spending every single penny of the state exchequer honestly on the welfare and advancement of the people, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann declared that the AAP government, Punjab is running on a new engine of development, while the engines of the BJP, Akali Dal and Congress have become outdated and incapable of driving the state forward.

Addressing the gathering, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, “Akali Dal is itself a dinosaur which has usurped the state and its people. While the AAP government is making strenuous efforts to prepare Punjabi youth for futuristic needs by making them Doctor and Engineers, Akali Dal is bent upon dragging them back to Dinosaur Era in the state.”

He reminded the people that Dinosaurs eat the human beings, adding that this is favorite animal of Akalis who have usurped Punjab, Punjabis and the hard earned money of people. “People will never elect such people who had ruined the state and had usurped our generations by their atrocious moves,” he said.

Taking a jibe over the Akal Dal’s Punjab Bachao Yatra, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the real name of this gimmick of Akali Dal is ‘Parivar Bachao Yatra’. “I dare the Akali leaders to explain that after looting the state for 15 years, from whom they are trying to save the state from. People had elected Akalis but they proved to be traitors and had always backstabbed the state and its people,” he added.

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann reminded people that when the entire farming community was fighting for their rights, the Akalis had supported the Modi government on draconian farm laws just for saving their berth in the Union Ministry.

He said that Akalis had misused the panth for their vested political interests due to which they cannot be forgiven by the people. Taking a jibe over BJP, he said that the saffron party is banking on the deadwood of other parties in hope of winning the elections. “This strategy of the BJP will not work in the state as their engine with worn out spare parts of other machines will not be able to run long,” said CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.

The Chief Minister said that the traditional political parties are envious of him because they are not able to digest that the son of a common man is governing the state effectively. “The people of Punjab have lost their faith in the traditional political parties because of their anti-people and anti-Punjab stance,” he added.

He reiterated that the previous rulers were more concerned about their family members rather than Punjab and Punjabis due to which they have been shown the door.

However, the Chief Minister said that after assuming charge of office, he has laid special focus on the progress and prosperity of Punjab, especially this region. He pointed out that previous governments converted schools in the entire state into just Mid Day Meal Centres but now these schools have been transformed into Educational hubs. “The AAP government is working on a mission of boosting education in the state and ensuring the access of quality education to the poor students,” he asserted.

The Chief Minister said that to impart quality education to the youth 118 Schools of Eminence have been set up in the state and teachers have been sent for training in Finland and Singapore, for upscaling their teaching skills. “Congress and Akalis have only a four point agenda, which is to ensure the welfare of themselves, their sons, and their brother-in-laws. As Education is the key for progress, our government has laid due emphasis on development of this sector and in the coming days a person will be called rich not by his wealth but by the education acquired by his children,” said CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.

The Chief Minister said that the Punjab government is judiciously utilizing every single penny of the state exchequer for the well being of the people of the state. “More than 90% households in Punjab are getting free power, even the farmers are today getting power in the daytime which has been unprecedented. At a time when the assets of the country are being given by the Union government to their blue eyed friends at throw away prices, the Punjab government has created history by buying a private thermal plant,” he asserted.

The Chief Minister stated that 881 Aam Aadmi Clinics have been opened in Punjab to provide free healthcare to people adding that quality healthcare facilities are being provided to the people in the government hospitals. “At the time when the state government had assumed the charge of office, only 21% of canal water was being used in the state for irrigation purposes. However, It is a matter of great pride and satisfaction that today 68% of the canal water is being used for irrigation purposes,” he added.

The Chief Minister said that as many as 6,900 km long, 18,349 water courses have been revived in Punjab to provide water at tail ends thereby immensely benefitting the farmers. “In order to provide comprehensive healthcare to people the state government has launched Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna, the first-of-its-kind scheme in the country that provides cashless medical treatment up to ₹10 lakh for every resident family in Punjab. It is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction that Punjab is the first Indian state to offer such comprehensive healthcare coverage, which has significantly eased the financial burden on the public while ensuring quality health services,” he affirmed.

The Chief Minister said that this historic move is aimed at providing universal health care to all the families of the state. “More than 63,000 government jobs have been given to the youth of Punjab without any bribe or recommendation due to which every section of society is happy,” he noted.

In a landmark initiative aimed at strengthening food and nutrition security, the state government has launched the ‘Meri Rasoi Yojna’. “Under this scheme 40 lakh families will receive free quarterly food kits starting April, in addition to wheat provided under the National Food Security Act (NFSA). The hard working and resilient farmers of Punjab have worked tirelessly to ensure that no one in the country sleeps hungry and our state has always led from the front in feeding the nation. However, there are still some families within Punjab who struggle to manage daily meals,” he said.

The Chief Minister noted, “Under this scheme, the Punjab government will provide food kits to 40 lakh families and each kit will contain two kilograms of lentils, two kilograms of sugar, one kilogram of salt, 200 grams of turmeric powder and one litre of mustard oil for monthly consumption. These food kits will be provided in addition to the wheat already being distributed to eligible beneficiaries under the NFSA. I am thankful to this region, which has always showered a lot of love to me both as an artist and now as a politician.”

The Chief Minister said, “I will always remain indebted to the people of the region for this love. This area was earlier labelled as backward area and even the state used to issue certificates for it, and no focus was laid on the progress of this region. However, the AAP government is working tirelessly to remove this tag by launching a number of development projects. Foundation stone for a Government ITI in village Fatehgarh Sahnewali has been laid to provide skill-oriented training and technical courses to youth.”

The Chief Minister profusely thanked the Fatehgarh Sahnewali panchayat for giving five acres of land free of cost for this project adding that the construction, staff recruitment, infrastructure, and other expenses for the ITI will cost approximately ₹24.50 crore. “This institution with capacity of 240 students will offer training in five trades viz. Electrician, Mechanic Electric Vehicle, Refrigeration & Air Conditioner Technician, Industrial Robotics & Digital Manufacturing Technician, and CNC Machining Technician. With this ITI, rural youth in the area will get the opportunity for skill-based education near their homes,” he added.

Likewise, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that two new Bridges are coming up at a cost of ₹17.31 Crore adding that residents of around 27 villages in Sardulgarh constituency bordering the Ghaggar river, had to travel long detours to cross the river. “To solve this problem, a new bridge is being built at village Bhalluana with a cost of ₹12.03 crore. Similarly, a new steel bridge is being constructed at village Barn at a cost of ₹5.28 crore, which will reduce people’s extra travel by 5-9 km,” he added.

He further said that to provide quality health facilities to residents of Sardulgarh, a Mohalla Clinic is being opened in the city at a cost of ₹39 lakh which will offer 107 types of free medicines and 47 types of free tests. “Likewise, a Health & Wellness Centre will be built at village Bhagwanpur Hinga with a cost of ₹55 lakh. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that next to the Sardulgarh sub-divisional hospital, a Block Public Health Unit will be built at ₹49 lakh, providing laboratory services under one roof, along with a data centre and SMO meeting-cum-conference hall,” he added.

The Chief Minister said that ₹1.25 crore is being spent on Minor Concrete Lining, ₹1 crore is being spent for Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji’s Charan Chhoh Village Development Projects in two villages and the capacity of the Danewala 66 KV grid has been increased from 12.5 MVA to 20 MVA at a cost of ₹2.33 crore to ensure uninterrupted power supply, especially to the farming community during the paddy season.

Likewise, the Chief Minister said that Mansa-Talwandi Sabo Road is being upgraded at a cost of ₹31.20 Crore, ₹33.07 crore are being spent on construction of new watercourses and ₹12.83 crore is being spent to set up new Grids in Villages Jhanda Kalan, Ullak, and Banawala New. Bhagwant Singh Mann further said that ₹14.76 crore is being spent to lay new sewerage pipelines in Sardulgarh city, which will cover 24.80 km of sewerage system and other projects. He also announced to upgrade the Sardulgarh Government hospital to 100 bedded hospital for providing quality treatment to the people.

In his address, senior AAP leader and Punjab Prabhari Manish Sisodia said, “It is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction that the foundation stone of this ambitious project has been laid. This project will give a boost to the economic development and the prosperity of this entire region. We are pursuing the politics of honesty and work and all sort of negative agenda will be rejected by people.”

Addressing the gathering, Cabinet Minister Harjot Singh Bains said, “The mandate of 2022 was in the favor of the agenda of Health and Education for the well -being of the common people. The ITI will act as a game changer by opening new vistas of employment for the children of the common man. The state government is committed for the welfare of Punjab and Punjabis.”

On the occasion, Cabinet Ministers Harjot Singh Bains and Gurmeet Singh Khudian, senior AAP leader and Punjab Prabhari Manish Sisodia and others were also present.

Weight Loss Tips from scratch for beginners

Weight Loss From Scratch: Starting a weight-loss journey often seems overwhelming. Most people dive straight into strict diets, intense workouts and drastic lifestyle changes. While this approach may produce fast results initially, it is usually not sustainable. Many end up feeling exhausted, frustrated and eventually give up.

Saswati Mishra, a home Pilates instructor and fitness coach, recently shared a unique approach to losing weight on her Instagram. She revealed how she lost 23 kg from an initial weight of 80 kg without extreme diets or brutal exercise routines. According to her, the key is to start slowly and build momentum rather than overexerting yourself in the first week.

She explained, “Most of you crash after a week of working out, not because you lack discipline, but because you use your initial adrenaline rush wrong. You need to build momentum smartly so that this time you don’t crash.”

Saswati shared simple workout, meal and lifestyle tips to help beginners achieve sustainable weight loss.

Weight Loss Workouts: Low-Impact And Effective

The coach emphasised the importance of easing your body into movement. She suggested starting with basic cardio, such as walking 5,000 steps daily. Gradually, you can increase this to 8,000 and then 10,000 steps.

She also recommended a consistent low-impact workout routine to help your body get used to movement before moving on to heavier exercises. Saswati shared the following exercises for beginners:

  • Walk out to planks – 10 reps, 1 set
  • Plank crunches – 10 reps, 1 set
  • Bird dog – 10 reps, 1 set each side
  • Knee squats – 10 reps, 1 set
  • Wide-legged squats – 10 reps, 1 set
  • Wide split squats – 10 reps, 1 set each side
  • Knee tuck pulses – 10 reps, 1 set each side
  • Wall sit – 30 seconds, 2 sets

She advised sticking to these simple movements until your body is ready for strength training with weights.

Meals And Lifestyle Tips

Diet plays a major role in weight loss, and Saswati advises not going cold turkey. Start by controlling portions, swapping breakfast with fruits and a protein source and gradually including protein and fibre in every meal.

She also suggested the 80:20 rule: 80% of your monthly meals should be whole foods and protein, while 20% can be eating out. Focus on three main meals and one snack per day, while keeping carb and fat intake in check.

Lifestyle habits are equally important. Saswati emphasised getting at least eight hours of sleep daily and managing stress through music, movement or meditation. She cautioned against relying on alcohol, caffeine, or smoking for stress relief.

By following this “slow-burn reset formula,” weight loss becomes manageable, sustainable and less stressful.

Artificial Intelligence: Wipro Chief Strategist and Technology Officer Hari Shetty is optimistic that artificial intelligence (AI) would continue to rule the conversation tables centred around technology and innovation for the next two decades.

Shetty remarked it is however unlikely that the IT services businesses of India would get dented by artificial intelligence.

It was commented by Shetty that technology would provide more work to IT companies and the myths about AI killing jobs are without any substantial basis.

Job Loss Concerns Over Artificial Intelligence

In recent weeks, Indian IT stocks have taken a massive hit as concerns have grown around automation led by AI. Many fear that companies would not require engineers and others if AI could move data, write code and connect systems faster and better than human beings.

The Wipro Chief Strategist and Technology Officer also commented that AI represents a larger opportunity for all of us when you carefully explore the complete gamut of things that are possible. Shetty remarked that artificial intelligence is likely to stimulate the creation of more jobs than ever. The Wipro executive added that a significant majority of people are just looking at the surface-level use of artificial intelligence.

Referring to World Economic Forum estimates, Shetty remarked AI may remove 92 million roles while adding approximately 17 million new jobs worldwide. Shetty advocated that more jobs would happen in the segments of data curation, model training and responsible AI practices.

Shetty went on to remark that young engineers are still being hired by Wipro who are comfortable working with AI tools.

Fears Extended

In another development, Vishal Sikka, Founder and CEO of Vianai and former CEO of Infosys, expresses fears that AI could possibly change how specific enterprise projects would get delivered going forward.

Sikka remarked that system integration, code migration and connecting different apps would get redefined like never before.

The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond shows no signs of slowing down. Even before its theatrical release, the film sparked controversy, with petitions reportedly seeking a ban. Despite the uproar, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the sequel for release.

What caught the industry’s attention, however, was the certification itself. The film received a U/A 16+ rating, a decision that surprised many trade watchers. Given the film’s intense and sensitive subject matter, several expected an adults-only certificate. Instead, the CBFC’s verdict triggered fresh conversations online.

The sequel, scheduled to release on February 27, has already generated strong reactions on social media. Its trailer and promotional content stirred debate due to the themes it explores. As a result, the certification decision quickly became a talking point online.

The Kerala Story 2 Cleared By CBFC After16 Cuts

While granting approval, the CBFC instructed the makers to carry out 16 cuts and modifications. Multiple visual sequences were reduced to meet certification guidelines.

According to censor details, kissing visuals were reduced by 50%. A lip-lock scene was shortened by seven seconds. Similarly, rape scene visuals were also reduced by 50%, resulting in a cut of 20 seconds.

In addition, two scenes depicting violence were trimmed:

  • A scene showing a woman being slapped was reduced by two seconds
  • A scene showing a woman’s head being hit was reduced by two seconds

Another sequence reportedly featuring the demolition of the accused’s house using a bulldozer was asked to be modified. However, the specific change has not been publicly disclosed.

The CBFC also directed the filmmakers to revise three dialogues at different points in the film. Furthermore, one word was muted, though no additional information appears in the cut list.

Beyond scene edits, the board required the inclusion of a disclaimer stating that the film is based on true events. The duration of this static text was increased by two minutes and three seconds, accompanied by a voice-over.

Additionally, the makers were asked to submit:

  • The final script and dialogue sheets
  • Supporting documents validating the “true events” depicted

Importantly, a consent letter was submitted for casting a minor artist, ensuring compliance with regulations involving underage performers.

After implementing these changes, the film received its censor certificate on February 16.

Final Runtime And Film Overview

As per the censor certificate, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond has an approved runtime of 131.24 minutes. In simpler terms, the film runs for 2 hours, 11 minutes, and 24 seconds.

Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the sequel expands its narrative beyond Kerala. Reports suggest the story spans multiple states, including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Kerala.

The film follows three parallel storylines centred on young Hindu women, portrayed by Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia and Aishwarya Ojha. The plot explores themes of religious coercion and emotional manipulation emerging from interfaith relationships. The project also marks a key career moment for Yeh Hain Mohabbatein fame Aditi Bhatia, who makes her big-screen debut with the film. 

Although the official production budget has not been confirmed, industry estimates suggest the sequel is mounted on a significantly larger scale than its predecessor. With certification secured and modifications completed, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond is ready for release. Now, it will be interesting to see how audiences respond once the film hits theatres.

Cancer Prevention: Top 5 Silent Killers Discussed! Expert Surgical Oncology Consultant Discusses Lifestyle Causes Of Cancer You Can Avoid

Cancer Prevention: Cancer is one of the most debilitating and life-threatening diseases in the world. It claims more than 10 million precious lives every year.

In a video shared on Instagram, Dr Vartika Vishwani who is an eminent Surgical Oncology Consultant and MS (BHU) Gold Medallist shares her expert opinions.

Here are top 5 lifestyle causes that can increase the risk of cancer.

1. Lack of Dietary Fiber: The Colorectal Cancer Trigger

Believe it or not, your gut is your “second brain”. However, it could become a ticking time bomb for colorectal cancer in the absence of sufficient fibre. It is highly recommended that you should get fibre from seasonal & fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains to throw off harmful toxins from the intestines. This would also help in feeding healthy gut bacteria and regulating blood sugar levels in the body.

2. Processed and Red Meat: The Carcinogen on Your Plate

Burgers, sausages and bacon may sound delicious but they could be deadly. The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies processed meats (nitrates-laden salami and hot dogs) as Group 1 carcinogens, right up with tobacco, and red meat (beef, lamb and pork) as Group 2A probable carcinogens.

These meats produce harmful compounds such as Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and heme iron during digestion or cooking. They could severely inflame the gut lining while also promoting DNA damage. Ideally, you should grill instead of fry and pair with fibre-rich salads. Limit their intake to maximum once a week.

3. Lack of Exercise: Fuelling a Sedentary Cancer Epidemic

Believe it or not, sitting is the new smoking and it could supercharge the risk of cancer by a significant extent. In fact, the lack of physical activity could severely disrupt hormones, spike inflammation and weaken immunity levels in the body. Ideally, you should walk 10,000 steps every day, join a gym or cycle to work.

4. Skipping Sunscreen: Skin Cancer’s UV Assault

The sunny climate of India could be a double-edged sword that could damage your skin severely. The harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun could damage DNA, which may result in 90 percent of melanomas and non-melanoma skin cancers. Ideally, you should use sunscreens with SPF 50 or more every day, even while staying indoors near windows.

5. Obesity: The Visceral Fat Cancer Catalyst

Carrying extra weight is like a cancer factory and you just could not ignore it. Obesity could fuel rapid cell division in pancreas, breasts and liver. Ideally, you should combine calorie control with exercise; target 5-10 percent weight loss to drop risks 10-20 percent.

Ranveer Allahbadia has just dropped the biggest personal update of his life. The popular YouTuber and podcaster hinted that he is “getting married very soon” during a light-hearted interaction at his Mumbai home and the moment has grabbed attention online.

The revelation came during filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan’s recent visit to Ranveer’s residence. Accompanied by her cook Dilip, Farah joined Ranveer for a casual cooking session that soon turned into an unexpectedly candid conversation.

Ranveer Allahbadia Confirms His Wedding To Happen ‘Soon’

A fun segment quickly transformed into a viral moment. Dilip, who expressed his desire to host a podcast, was encouraged to ask Ranveer a few questions. When Dilip asked, “Aapka pagaar kitna hai? (What is your salary?),” Ranveer responded with a smile, “Achcha hai, badi team hai… (It is good, I have a big team…).”

As the questions dried up, Ranveer jokingly nudged Dilip, saying, “Dil vil ke baare mein nahi jaanna? (You don’t want to know about love).”

That is when Dilip asked the question – whether Ranveer was married. Without hesitation, the BeerBiceps host replied, “Abhi bahot hie jald kar rahe hai, sachme (Doing it very soon, really).”

Farah Khan’s reaction was immediate and dramatic. She shouted, “Breaking News!”

Ranveer Allahbadia Wedding Buzz: Who Is the Bride?

Following Ranveer Allahbadia’s wedding hint, speculation about his relationship status has intensified. While the YouTuber has remained private about his personal life, followers were quick to connect the dots.

Ranveer was previously linked to actress Nikki Sharma, but the two reportedly parted ways. Later, during Diwali celebrations last year, Ranveer shared animated images featuring a mystery woman. This triggered rumours that he had made his relationship with influencer and model Juhi Bhatt official. Despite persistent chatter, neither Ranveer nor Juhi publicly confirmed the relationship.

Now, with Ranveer’s marriage comment making headlines, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Juhi Bhatt is indeed the “lucky girl” or if another surprise announcement is on the way.

How YouTuber Rose To Fame, His Controversies

After graduating in 2015 with a degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, he chose to break away from the conventional career route. Instead, he launched his BeerBiceps YouTube channel.

Initially, it focused on fitness, lifestyle and self-improvement. He openly spoke about personal challenges, including struggles with alcohol addiction and mental health.

His brand evolved significantly with the launch of The Ranveer Show in 2019. The podcast became a massive success, featuring conversations with celebrities, entrepreneurs, spiritual leaders and global personalities.

Beyond content creation, Ranveer co-founded Monk Entertainment, a leading digital talent agency, and Level Supermind, a self-help and wellness app. His influence earned national recognition when Prime Minister Narendra Modi honoured him with a National Creators Award in 2024.

Ranveer’s career has not been free of controversy. In February 2025, he faced backlash over remarks made during an appearance on Samay Raina’s show, India’s Got Latent. The comments sparked outrage and legal scrutiny.

Earlier controversies included criticism over a 2021 tweet and debates surrounding certain podcast discussions. Yet, Ranveer has continued to maintain a strong fan base.

Lucknow News: A shocking incident has come to light from the city of Lucknow, where a family dispute relating to the career and business empire has taken a sinister turn.

Manvendra, a renowned businessman, had running pathology labs and liquor shops. He allegedly forced his 21-year-old son, Akshat, to take up medicine before entering the family business. The dispute relating to the education of the son has led to a bitter feud.

Police sources reveal that the murder mystery is unfolding, and the story is becoming increasingly sinister.

Pressure to Become a Doctor, Son Wanted Business Control

Akshat, being a BCom student, was allegedly resistant to his father’s wish to prepare for the NEET exam to earn an MBBS degree. Manvendra was of the view that his professional qualifications must be in place before he was given charge of the business.

However, Akshat wanted to take charge of the businesses that had been set up immediately. He was unwilling to spend years studying for his medical degree.

It was revealed that there had been simmering tension between the father and son for months. Akshat had left his house following an argument with his father. Suspicion had also been raised about missing jewellery.

Business, Ego and Growing Distrust

Sources close to the case, however, reveal that the disagreement was not merely about studies. It was about authority and succession.

Manvendra, according to sources, had felt that discipline and qualification were necessary to manage multiple businesses. On the other hand, Akshat had felt that he was ready to take over immediately. The conflict of ambitions seems to have led to a volatile atmosphere.

Police Probe Deepens

The Lucknow police are now looking into the financial and phone records, and family statements to understand the sequence of events.

The motives, according to officials, seem to be centred around the existing tensions and pressures of family and career. However, no other motives can be ruled out at this stage.

The case is sending shockwaves across the city, and many questions are being raised about family pressures, generational clashes, and the negative sides of ambitions.

Shoaib Akhtar: Former Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, also known as the Rawalpindi Express, has admitted that he and off-spinner used to take banned painkillers to stay fit and take the wicket of Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, known as the God of Cricket, during Pakistan’s 1998-99 tour of India.

Shoaib Akhtar: Live Doping Confession On The Tapmad Show

The former Pakistani bowler admitted during the Tapmad Show that players were under intense pressure to hide injuries via doping. He added that players were fooling senior cricketers as well as members of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Interestingly, Saqlain was seated next to Shoaib and didn’t object to the doping claims.

Interestingly, Mohammad Asif and Shoaib Akhtar tested positive for Nandrolone (19-nortestosterone, a banned anabolic androgenic steroid). Both Pakistani fast bowlers were withdrawn by the PCB from the Champions Trophy 2006 after they were caught doping.

Reasons For Doping

Shoaib admitted that he was using banned painkillers and injections to stay in supreme form during the Indian tour of Pakistan. The former bowler also mentioned the name of Sachin and said he and Saqlain used to hide their body injuries and doped under pressure.

The Rawalpindi Express remarked that Saqlain and him had once placed a bet on who would take the wicket of Sachin during the Pakistan’s 1998-99 India tour. Akhtar added that the knees of both of us (Shoaib and Saqlain) were damaged and therefore we took banned injections and pills to keep ourselves going.

Shoaib went on to remark that the senior players in the team would have dropped them if they had known about their doping practices. He added we therefore doped quietly just to stay on the cricket field.

Shoaib Akhtar took 247 wickets at an average of 24.97 in 163 One Day Internationals. He also took 178 wickets in 46 test matches at an average of 25.69.

Another commented, “Shocking news, unbelievable.”

Some users also speculated about health risks linked to the fitness industry: A user said, “Looking muscular from outside doesn’t mean you are healthy…too much supplement along steroids slowly destroy internal organs (sic).”

However, there has been no official confirmation connecting Mayank’s death to any medical or lifestyle factors.

Mayank Pawar Death: Prayer Meet To Be Held Tomorrow

While condolences continue to pour in, the exact cause of death has not yet been revealed. This lack of clarity has only added to the grief, with admirers remembering Mayank as one of the most genuine and grounded contestants on the show.

A prayer meet will be held on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at Valmiki Mandir, Sangam Park, Rana Pratap Bagh, between 5 PM and 6 PM.

Mayank Pawar’s Journey 

Mayank Pawar first captured public attention during Splitsvilla 7. His calm nature and respectful behaviour helped him stand out in a format often driven by drama. Viewers quickly connected with his simplicity and sincerity.

His elimination became one of the most emotional moments of the season. Host Sunny Leone was visibly moved and teary-eyed as she hugged Mayank goodbye. Co-host Nikhil Chinapa also embraced him.

So far, neither Sunny Leone nor Nikhil Chinapa has publicly commented on Mayank’s passing.

Beyond television, Mayank had an impressive career in the bodybuilding and fitness industry. He was a six-time Mr. India titleholder and a former Mr India winner. Over time, he became a respected celebrity fitness trainer and Master Coach.

Through his platform, MP Fitness, he mentored aspiring athletes. He specialised in contest preparation, online coaching and personalised training programmes.

Mayank began his competitive bodybuilding journey in Delhi in 2010. He later secured multiple international wins, earning praise for his discipline and dedication.

Health Battles That Defined “Second Life” Of Mayank Pawar

Behind the powerful physique was a remarkable story of resilience. Between 2015 and 2016, Mayank faced a severe health crisis. He was diagnosed with malaria, typhoid, pneumonia, and jaundice simultaneously. The complications were serious. They left his right leg paralysed for nearly eight months.

Such a setback could have ended a fitness career. For Mayank, it marked what he described as his “second life”. He documented his difficult recovery, inspiring followers who watched him rebuild his strength and return to professional training.

In 2018, Mayank appeared in the reality-based web series SURVIVORSS, where he shared screen space with youth icons like Karan Kundrra.

Name Change Travels From North to South! Centre Renames Kerala as Keralam, Can it Give Political Dividends?

Keralam: The God’s Own Country is finally renamed! After a wait of two years, the Union Government has approved renaming of Kerala to Keralam (കേരളം in Malayalam script) in official records.

The state of Kerala is likely to go to assembly polls in the month of May 2026.

Keralam-Passing Of The Name Change Resolution

In 2024, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan moved the resolution for the state’s name change. A request was made to make the alteration in all languages included in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution.

The state assembly passed the resolution for the second consecutive time as some technical changes were recommended by the Union Home Ministry.

It was reiterated by Vijayan that the state was referred to ‘Keralam’ in Malyalam. The CM remarked that there have been longstanding demands for the formation of a United Kerala for the communities speaking the Malayalam language.

BJP Kerala President Rajeev Chandrasekhar said the Bharatiya Janata Party and the National Democratic Alliance would do many good things in the state of Keralam and this is just the start. Chandrasekhar added that it is our responsibility as the BJP and as every Malayali to reclaim and protect the heritage, history, culture and traditions of our proud Keralam.

The Ministry of Home Affairs approved the name change on February 2 this year, notifying gazettes and directing updates to passports, maps and even Google Maps. CM Vijayan hailed the decision as a “historic reclamation of identity,” remarking that “Keralam is not just a name, it’s the soul of Malayali pride.”

Political Reasons For The Name Change-Who Will Benefit How?

The name change of Kerala to Keralam would be one opportunity that CM Vijayan and  his party would like to take entire credit of. According to recent data, the LDF is trailing the Congress-led UDF after 10 years in power, plagued by scandals like the 2021 Thrissur Pooram fiasco and SFI violence. The name change development would position CM Vijayan as a regional champion.

The Centre swiftly approved the proposal for name change. This would help clean Modi’s “cooperative federalism” image. The development could help the BJP peel off Hindu votes from disillusioned Congress. Moreover, the word “Keralam” echoes Sanskrit roots.

The biggest headache of this development belongs to UDF. If it opposes it, it would be termed anti-Malyali. Leader V.D. Satheesan termed the name change development as a mere gimmick to distract the people from floods and unemployment.

Isabgol Benefits: Is Psyllium Husk A One-Stop-Fix For All Bloating And Digestion Issues? Health Expert Shares Opinion

Isabgol Benefits

Isabgol Benefits: For decades, people in India and across the world count on Isabgol, or Psyllium husk, to promote laxation, manage constipation, support cholesterol management and increase moisture in stools.

In a video shared on Instagram, an eminent health expert talks about if Isabgol benefits are a myth or reality.

Isabgol Benefits-Miracle Or Myth?

Isabgol could be easily described as a popular Ayurvedic remedy that is derived from Plantago ovata seeds, which are widely used for digestive issues in India.

Rich in soluble and insoluble fibre, Isabgol swells into a gel-like substance that adds bulk to stool and aids digestion. Available in the form of capsules and powders, Isabgol is a staple in Indian households for its plant-based, natural origins.

Proven Health Advantages

Several scientific studies confirm the efficacy of Isabgol for several conditions. For constipation, Isabgol’s fibre helps in absorbing water, softening stool and promoting regular bowel movements without habit-forming effects. Clinical trials demonstrate that Isabgol is also effective in improving gut microbia, increasing stool water content and easing symptoms in constipated patients.

Isabgol also demonstrates unmatched efficacy to slow down the absorption of glucose post-meals, reducing spikes in blood sugar and enhancing drugs such as metformin. Isabgol could reduce fasting blood sugar (FBS). The soluble fibre present in Isabgol could be beneficial for individuals with high cholesterol levels as it binds bile acids, which then forces the liver to utilize LDL (bad) cholesterol.

In addition to these advantages, Isabgol is also helpful to treat and manage diarrhoea by absorbing excess water. Also, it helps in managing piles by reducing straining and offers great relief to individuals who are diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome/ulcerative colitis via anti-inflammatory properties.
