Farhan Akhtar Making Jee Le Zaraa After Don 3 Put on Hold

Don 3 is put on hold after Ranveer Singh‘s exit from this Farhan Akhtar directorial. This has once again brought Jee Le Zaraa into focus. Weeks after reports claimed Ranveer Singh exited Don 3, fresh updates suggest that Farhan has decided not to rush the project.

Instead, the filmmaker is reportedly turning his attention to Jee Le Zaraa, the road-trip drama announced in 2021. The film stars Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif and fans have been waiting for an update for a long time.

According to reports, the decision has been taken carefully, keeping the legacy of the Don franchise in mind.

Farhan Akhtar Puts Don 3 On Hold

As per a PinkVilla report, Farhan Akhtar does not want to finalise the casting of Don 3 in a hurry. He believes the role of Don is extremely important and needs the right actor.

A source told the portal, “Farhan feels the casting of Don is crucial. He wants to be absolutely sure about who steps into the role, and it is a longer process.”

Because of this, Don 3 has been temporarily paused. With more time available, Farhan has reportedly decided to revisit Jee Le Zaraa, a project that is said to be very close to him.

Another insider revealed, “Jee Le Zaraa has always been special for Farhan. With Don 3 taking time at the casting stage, he felt this was the right moment to revive discussions with the original team and push the film forward.”

Jee Le Zaraa Update: Script Ready, Dates Awaited

According to reports, the script of Jee Le Zaraa has already been finalised. Creatively, the film is ready to go. However, the main reason for the delay has been scheduling issues.

All three lead actresses have packed work calendars, which has made it difficult to align dates. Despite this, discussions are now back on track.

Sources added, “If the dates align, the film could finally go on floors in the second half of 2026. Creatively, everything is in place, and it’s now about managing schedules. Farhan has started discussions with all three actresses and is hopeful their timelines can align. Everyone is keen, it’s just about finding that common window.”

Earlier, Farhan Akhtar also spoke about the delay in an interview with The Hindu. He said, “The astronomy of it is all messed up: my rahu is in my ketu (laughs). Unfortunately, it will take more time. I am optimistic that it will happen when it has to happen. There is a time for everything. I don’t want to stress out over this one project. I have other things to do (like Don 3 with Ranveer Singh).”

For now, there is no official confirmation from the makers. Still, with Don 3 on hold and fresh discussions around Jee Le Zaraa, fans are hopeful that the long-delayed film may finally move closer to production.

Sadhvi Prem Baisa: Noted religious storyteller Sadhvi Prem Baisa died under mysterious circumstances on 28 January 2026 in Jodhpur. Her death sparked public outrage and demands for a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The death of Sadhvi Prem Baisa has been associated with a year-long blackmail and defamation case. Many believe she was murdered after refusing to pay ₹20 lakh, not killed by a simple cough injection as initially claimed.

Sadhvi Prem Baisa-The Mysterious Death in Jodhpur

Sadhvi Prem Baisa, a well‑known kathavachak (religious storyteller) based at an ashram in Boranada, Jodhpur, was rushed to Preksha Multispeciality Hospital on the evening of 28 January. According to hospital director Dr Praveen Jain, she was brought dead by her father, Veeram Nath, and another aide.

Surprisingly, her family took the body from MDM Hospital before an official post-mortem by a medical board could be conducted.

The Shocking Cough Injection

For a few days, Sadhvi was keeping unwell with fever, common cold and flu-like symptoms for the last 2-3 days. A compounder was called to the ashram on the day of her death and he gave her an injection. After this, her condition worsened quickly and she became unconscious before collapsing. She was immediately rushed to a private hospital where she was declared brought dead. The compounder has been detained by police and his medical kit has been seized for investigation.

20 Lakh Demand, Then Blackmail

In July 2025, a viral video of Sadhvi where she was seen hugging her guru and father triggered a wave of online abuse, harassment and false allegations. Sadhvi offered to undergo a trial by fire (Agni pariskha to prove her innocence. Former staff members were accused of defamation and blackmail with many reports suggesting that ₹20 lakh was demanded from her to stop spreading damaging content.

Police Probe & Demands for CBI Inquiry

A case has now being registered by the Boranada Police. Police are now waiting for her post-mortem report to find the exact cause of her death – whether it was due to foul play, an undiagnosed health condition or the injection. A high-level probe has been demanded by political leader Hanuman Beniwal who also requested the Rajasthan Chief Minister and DGP to take notice.

What Happened?

Sore Throat: Antibiotic Or Gargle? AIIMS Trained Expert Shares Insightful Opinion

Sore Throat

Sore Throat: Typically, sore throats arise from viral infections like flu or common cold. These viral troubles usually fade on their own within 3-7 days but the associated pain, swelling and irritation can sometimes feel unbearable in the meantime. This is where gargling and antibiotics come to the picture.

Gargling when compared to antibiotics stands out as a natural and superior approach to ease sore throat discomfort. This time-tested home remedy delivers immediate and localized relief without coming in proximity with the side effects of antibiotics.

Sore Throat Treatment-Benefits Of Gargling

  • Garling offers countless benefits such as:
  • Soothes sore throat pain instantly
  • Reduces inflammation through osmosis
  • Clears excess mucus and phlegm
  • Decreases bacterial and viral load
  • Maintains natural throat pH balance
  • Loosens irritants and dead cells
  • Promotes faster symptom recovery
  • Prevents upper respiratory infections
  • Supports oral and gum health
  • Provides safe, chemical-free relief

How To Do Gargling?

Ideally, you should take a mix of ¼ to ½ teaspoon of salt dissolved in 8 ounces of warm water (or 200-250ml). Using this water, you need to gargle vigorously (tilt your head back) for 15-30 seconds to draw excess fluids out of inflammed cells. This would help in shrinking swelling and ease the raw and scratchy sensation almost immediately.

Gargling is equally effective to loosen stubborn mucus and phlegm and flush away dead cells, lingering bacteria and irritants. It creates an inhospitable environment for harmful pathogens to stay in the body without harming your body’s good microbes. This process is required to be repeated every 1-2 hours, spitting it out each time.

Gargling’s Clear Superiority

Gargling is a safer, economical and natural remedy to treat sore throats. It is an ideal option for adults and even children above the age of 6 years. It prevents the spread of infections by clearing pus pockets and works faster than antibiotics.

Makhana Test: Is Your ‘Healthy’ Fox Nuts Snack Hiding 3X More Salt Than Claimed? Blind Lab Results Will Shock Consumers

Farmley Makhana Test Reveals High Sodium Levels
Photo Credit: X

Makhana Test: If you are a fan of healthy snacking, makhana (also known as fox nuts) might be your go-to option. Naturally high in protein, low in fat and gluten-free, makhana has moved from being a fasting or religious snack to a daily choice for health-conscious consumers. But how trustworthy are the label claims on your favourite brands? Trustified recently put a popular brand under test and the results were shocking.

They blind-tested Farmley Cream & Onion Makhana flavour. The product was ordered online, unboxed and sent to a laboratory for Level 1 testing.

Makhana Test: What the Lab Found

The laboratory test compared the product’s actual content with the label claims. Here’s what they discovered per 100 grams:

Protein: Claimed 7.8 g, found 7.89 g

Carbohydrates: Claimed 62 g, found 60.95 g

Dietary Fibre: Claimed 11.9 g, found 11.96 g

Total Sugar: Claimed 5.2 g, found 7.87 g

Added Sugar: Claimed 1.2 g, found sucrose 6.2 g + maltose 1.7 g

Total Fat: Claimed 21 g, found 26.2 g

Saturated Fat: Claimed 9.5 g, found 4.34 g

Cholesterol: Claimed 0, confirmed below detection

Sodium: Claimed 275 mg per 100 grams, lab found 902.01 mg

While there were slight variations in most parameters, the most shocking difference was sodium, which turned out to be 328% higher than the label claim. Trustified even had the lab reverify all readings, calculations and raw data. The result remained the same. For people with high blood pressure, such discrepancies can be alarming.

Why This Brand Still Gets A Shout-Out

So, why is Trustified praising a brand that failed the Makhana Test so dramatically? Here’s the reason. Before publishing the report, Trustified reached out to the brand’s founder, giving them 24 hours to respond. Akash explained that the high sodium levels were due to an old seasoning vendor. After switching to a new vendor, the levels were still above the claim, so the brand updated the label to reflect accurate values. They also replaced “cholesterol-free” with “trans fat-free” as per FSSAI guidelines.

The Makhana Test shows that even healthy snacks can sometimes mislead consumers. While Farmley Cream & Onion initially had high sodium levels, the brand acted responsibly to fix it. Always check labels carefully, especially if you monitor sodium or sugar intake.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who is currently on a visit to Gujarat, addressed a major press conference in Ahmedabad, where he strongly highlighted the benefits of the Punjab government’s flagship Chief Minister Health Insurance Scheme while also targeting the local state administration.

CM Bhagwant Mann Holds Key Press Conference in Ahmedabad

Speaking to the media, CM Mann said that the Mann government has brought a revolution in the healthcare sector in Punjab. He described the Chief Minister Health Insurance Scheme as one of the most talked-about public health initiatives globally, stating that it is setting new benchmarks in public healthcare security.

“Historic Step in Public Healthcare”

During the press conference, CM Bhagwant Mann explained how the Punjab government is providing annual health coverage of up to ₹10 lakh to its citizens. He said the scheme is creating history by ensuring that people can access quality medical treatment without worrying about financial burden.

According to the Chief Minister, the scheme has become a topic of discussion even in Gujarat, as it represents one of the world’s largest free health insurance programmes aimed at protecting public health.

Mann’s Strong Message from Gujarat

From Gujarat’s soil, CM Mann issued a strong political message, asserting that welfare-oriented governance can bring real change in people’s lives. He emphasised that every citizen of Punjab is entitled to equal healthcare facilities under the scheme, regardless of background or income.

Mentions Free Electricity, Farmers’ Welfare

Apart from healthcare, CM Mann also spoke about free electricity in Punjab, saying that residents are enjoying zero electricity bills for households and agricultural use. He highlighted facilities provided to farmers, equal employment opportunities, and the government’s efforts for women and students.

While addressing these issues, CM Mann also criticised what he described as anti-people conditions in certain BJP-led schemes, indirectly taking aim at the Gujarat government’s policies.

Punjab Model as an Example

The Punjab Chief Minister presented his government’s initiatives as a model of governance, arguing that public welfare schemes like free healthcare and electricity are not burdens, but investments in social security and human development.

The press conference once again brought CM Bhagwant Mann into the national spotlight, with his outspoken style and welfare-focused agenda drawing attention beyond Punjab.

CM Yogi Adityanath: In a major welfare decision, the Uttar Pradesh government has approved cashless medical treatment for nearly 10 lakh teachers across the state. The scheme, cleared in a recent cabinet meeting, will also cover Education Mitras, extending healthcare security to a wider section of the education workforce.

Under the approved proposal, eligible beneficiaries will be able to avail cashless treatment up to ₹5 lakh, offering significant relief from rising medical expenses. The move is being seen as a crucial step towards strengthening social security for those associated with the education sector.

Cabinet Clears 29 Proposals

The decision was part of a broader cabinet agenda in which 29 proposals were approved, reflecting the government’s focus on welfare, governance, and administrative reforms. Among these, the healthcare coverage for teachers has emerged as one of the most impactful measures.

Boost to Education Workforce Welfare

Teachers and Education Mitras play a vital role in shaping the future of the state, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. By ensuring access to quality healthcare without financial burden, the government aims to improve morale, job security, and overall well-being of educators.

Part of CM Yogi Adityanath Government’s Social Welfare Push

The initiative aligns with the Yogi Adityanath government’s broader emphasis on welfare-oriented governance, especially for public servants and frontline workers. Similar health coverage schemes have already been implemented for other sections, and the inclusion of teachers further strengthens this framework.

Positive Response Expected

The announcement is expected to receive a positive response from the teaching community, which has long demanded comprehensive health protection. With implementation mechanisms likely to be put in place soon, the scheme marks a significant step towards inclusive and people-centric policy making in Uttar Pradesh.

Rajal Dalal The 50 Exit Rumours

Rajat Dalal was seen as one of the strongest contestants on The 50. After his appearance on Bigg Boss 18, the fitness influencer had strong fan support even before the show began. However, just days ahead of the premiere, reports claimed that Rajat may have exited the show early due to a serious injury.

The 50 is set to premiere on February 1. The reality show features 50 celebrity contestants living inside a grand palace for 26 days. Rajat Dalal was officially confirmed as part of the line-up, along with Karan Patel, Divya Agarwal, Nikki Tamboli and Urvashi Dholakia. Shooting began last week, but rumours started after reports suggested that one contestant had to leave for medical reasons.

Rajat Dalal Injury On The 50

According to reports, Rajat Dalal got injured during a high-intensity physical task on the show. The task required strong upper-body effort. Midway through the challenge, Rajat reportedly stopped and held his arm, prompting the medical team to step in immediately.

He was taken to the hospital for scans, which reportedly showed a severe triceps tear. Doctors advised him to rest, saying recovery could take several weeks. Following this, Rajat was allegedly asked to step away from the competition. So far, neither the makers nor Rajat Dalal have issued an official statement.

However, fresh reports suggest a possible turnaround. Sources claim that Rajat has returned to the show after receiving medical clearance post-hospitalisation. There is still no confirmation, and the truth will likely be revealed once the episodes start airing.

3 Major Fights Already Inside Lion’s Palace

Even before its TV debut, The 50 has been grabbing attention for the drama inside the palace. Sources claim that three major fights have already taken place within the first three days of filming.

On Day 1, Karan Patel reportedly got into a heated argument with another contestant during the Arena Task. Day 2 saw a clash between Digvijay Rathee and Rajat Dalal, which allegedly happened inside the house and not during a task. On Day 3, Adnan Shaikh and Monalisa were involved in a fight during the Arena Task after a comment by Adnan upset Monalisa.

Earlier, there were also rumours that Lovekesh Kataria became the first contestant to be eliminated. If Rajat Dalal did exit, even briefly, it would mark another big shake-up before the show has even premiered.

The 50 follows a unique format where ten captains lead teams of five members each. Tasks come with changing rules, and losing teams face elimination decided by the winners. A mysterious figure known as the Lion oversees the game. Viewers can also take part in a fan contest, with Rs 50 lakh up for grabs by correctly predicting the winner.

For now, Rajat Dalal’s status on The 50 remains uncertain. Fans are waiting for official confirmation or his appearance in the premiere episode to clear the air. It is set to air on Colors TV and JioHotstar from Feb 1, 2026.

Gold and Silver Prices Surge: Silver Crosses ₹4 Lakh, Gold Trades Above ₹1.75 Lakh on January 29

Gold and silver prices continued their upward momentum on January 29, reflecting strong demand in domestic bullion markets. Silver prices crossed the ₹4 lakh mark, while gold traded above ₹1.75 lakh, keeping investors and buyers on alert amid persistent volatility.

Gold and Silver Prices Surge

The rise in precious metal prices comes amid a mix of global economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and sustained demand for safe-haven assets. Market participants are closely tracking international cues, currency movements, and central bank signals, all of which are influencing bullion prices.

Gold Rates Remain Firm Across Cities

On Wednesday, 22-carat and 24-carat gold prices remained elevated across major Indian cities. The steady rise in gold prices is being driven by global trends, including fluctuating bond yields and a cautious outlook among investors. Wedding season demand and long-term investment interest have also contributed to firm prices in the domestic market.

Jewellers noted that while higher prices may impact short-term retail buying, gold continues to attract investors looking for stability amid market uncertainties.

Silver Breaks ₹4 Lakh Milestone

Silver registered a notable surge, crossing ₹4 lakh, supported by industrial demand and global price strength. Analysts point out that silver’s dual role—as both an industrial metal and a precious asset—has made it particularly sensitive to economic developments, resulting in sharper price movements.

What’s Driving the Price Rally

Experts attribute the ongoing rally in gold and silver prices to:

  • Global economic and geopolitical uncertainties
  • Expectations around interest rate decisions
  • Rupee-dollar exchange rate fluctuations
  • Strong investment demand for precious metals

Outlook for Investors

Market observers suggest that bullion prices may remain volatile in the near term, with movements largely dependent on international market trends. Investors are being advised to keep a close watch on global indicators before making fresh buying decisions.

With gold and silver holding strong levels, precious metals continue to remain in focus for both investors and retail buyers across the country.

The Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab has taken a significant step towards reviving the state’s traditional sports and cultural heritage. After a gap of 14 years, bullock cart races will once again be held at the famous Kila Raipur Games, often referred to as the “Rural Olympics of Punjab.”

Bhagwant Mann Government Revives Bullock Cart Races at Kila Raipur Games After 14 Years

The announcement reflects the Mann government’s emphasis on restoring Punjab’s indigenous sporting traditions, which have long been an integral part of rural life. Bullock cart races, once a major attraction at Kila Raipur, were discontinued years ago due to regulatory and administrative hurdles.

Cultural Heritage and Rural Identity

The revival of bullock cart races is being seen as an effort to honour Punjab’s rural culture and heritage sports, which symbolize strength, skill, and community bonding. The Kila Raipur Games have historically served as a platform showcasing traditional competitions deeply rooted in Punjab’s agrarian identity.

By bringing back these races, the state government aims to reconnect younger generations with Punjab’s traditional sports while preserving customs that define village life.

Government’s Focus on Traditional Sports

According to AAP Punjab, the revival has been made possible due to the concerted efforts of the Mann government, which has been working to ensure that heritage sports are conducted in an organized and respectful manner. The initiative highlights the government’s broader vision of promoting sports beyond modern disciplines and giving equal importance to traditional events.

Officials believe that restoring such competitions will also boost participation at grassroots-level sports events and strengthen the cultural relevance of the Kila Raipur Games.

Significance of Kila Raipur Games

Known as the “Village Olympics,” the Kila Raipur Games attract participants and spectators from across Punjab and beyond. The return of bullock cart races after more than a decade is expected to increase public interest and attendance, reinforcing the event’s stature as one of India’s most iconic rural sports festivals.

The move has been welcomed by sports enthusiasts and cultural observers, who see it as a positive step towards reviving Punjab’s traditional sporting legacy while keeping its rural spirit alive.

In a major breakthrough under the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government’s crackdown on drugs and organised crime, the Amritsar Rural Police, with active support from the Village Defence Committee (VDC), have busted a large narco-arms consignment, dealing a significant blow to drug and weapons networks operating in the state.

Bhagwant Mann Government Scores Major Win

According to Punjab Police, the operation led to the recovery of 42.983 kg of heroin, along with four hand grenades, one Star Mark pistol, 46 live .30 bore cartridges, and an abandoned motorcycle. The seizure highlights the growing nexus between drug trafficking and illegal arms supply, which authorities are aggressively targeting.

Two Accused Arrested, Probe Ongoing

Following the recovery, police arrested two individuals, both residents of Amritsar. Officials stated that further investigation is underway to trace absconding accused, verify the chain of possession, and uncover the wider conspiracy linked to the seized consignment.

The police are also examining possible cross-border and inter-district links, given the scale of the recovery and the nature of the weapons involved.

Community Support Proves Crucial

Punjab Police credited the Village Defence Committee (VDC) for its crucial role in the operation, underlining the importance of community participation in maintaining law and order. Officials said such cooperation strengthens intelligence gathering and helps law enforcement act swiftly against criminal networks.

Zero Tolerance Against Drugs and Arms

Reiterating its commitment, Punjab Police stated that it remains firm in its zero-tolerance approach towards drugs, illegal arms, and organised crime. The force emphasized that sustained operations will continue across Punjab to dismantle networks that threaten public safety and national security.

This latest success reinforces the state government’s resolve to make Punjab safer, drug-free, and secure, while sending a strong message to those involved in narco-terror and arms trafficking.
