Kumkum Bhagya Star Abrar Qazi About His Bond With Rachi Sharma: The Relationship Between us…

Zee TV’s popular Show Kumkum Bhagya – has kept the audience on the edge of their seats through its engaging, intriguing, and dramatic storyline. In fact, after the 20-year leap in the show, audiences have been hooked on to the journey of the estranged couple Ranbir (Krishna Kaul) and Prachi’s (Mugdha Chaphekar) daughters- Poorvi (Rachi Sharma) and Khushi (Simran Budharup). Viewers recently saw how Rajvansh aka RV (Abrar Qazi) and Poorvi have slowly developed feelings for each other, despite all the differences. While circumstances keep RV and Poorvi from coming together for good on screen, actors Abrar and Rachi have become great friends in real life.

The fans of the show are already loving their on-screen chemistry and have created a hashtag for them- #RajVi. Considering the script’s demand, the actors are often seen fighting and arguing on-screen, but their off-screen bond is getting stronger by the day. They are not only just good friends but also help each other improvise their scenes and bring out the best in each other. Abrar also admires the style statement that Rachi follows and is learning a lot from her about fashion.

Abrar said, “The relationship between me and Rachi is obviously very different compared to what audiences get to watch on-screen. She is not only a great actor but a beautiful human being. She is very kind and a supportive co-actor to work with. Although we are almost opposite of each other, I believe it has made our bond stronger and our on-screen chemistry even better. We get to learn so much from each other, and now that I have spent so much time with her, I must add that she teaches me a lot about style and fashion. The way she can pick the right combinations when it comes to outfits, shoes, and accessories, is commendable, she is a pro! I think we complement each other on-screen and I couldn’t have asked for a better co-star.”_

While Abrar and Rachi have been having a great time shooting for the topsy-turvy track, it will be interesting for the viewers to watch if Rajvansh and Purvi’s closeness will bring them together or if Monisha (Srishti Jain) will create more obstacles for them.

Melinda Gates is retaining $12.5 billion for her work even after leaving the Gates Foundation.

“Her last day of work at the foundation will be June 7,” stated Melinda French Gates.

Melinda French Gates announced Monday she has decided to resign from her role as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation – an organization that has become one of the most influential in the world. “My last day of work at the foundation will be June 7,” she posted on X.

She insisted that this wasn’t a decision that she came to lightly, adding “The time is right for me to move forward into the next chapter of my philanthropy”.

“Under the terms of my agreement with Bill, in leaving the foundation, I will have an additional $12.5 billion to commit to my work on behalf of women and families,” she said.

Ms French Gates said that she will be sharing more about her charitable plans in the future.

The name of the foundation will change to the Gates Foundation “to honor Bill Sr.’s legacy and Melinda’s contributions”, said CEO Mark Suzman, adding Bill “will become the sole Chair of the foundation”.

Mr Suzman said Ms French Gates made this decision “after considerable reflection, based on how she wants to spend the next chapter of her philanthropy”. “Melinda has new ideas about the role she wants to play in improving the lives of women and families in the US and around the world. And, after a difficult few years watching women’s rights rolled back in the US and around the world, she wants to use this next chapter to focus specifically on altering that trajectory,” he said in a statement.

Terming the development as a “very sad news” that people will need time to process, Ms Suzman highlighted that many were drawn to the foundation because of Ms French Gates’ global leadership, “particularly in gender equality, and her ability to connect our work to the people who need support the most”.

This is difficult news for me, too. Like you, I truly admire Melinda, and I will deeply miss working with her and learning from her, he said.

Nikhil Kamath, a co-founder of Zerodha, stated that despite certain difficulties, Bengaluru remains his favourite city. Bengaluru is home to several startups. He heaped praise on the citizens of Bengaluru. “The big, big differentiator at the end of the day– scr** all the roads, the traffic… those things don’t matter — the people of Bengaluru are second to none (because of) the love they have for the city, how nice they are as people.”

Manchester City 0–2 Tottenham Highlights: City Defeats Arsenal in the Premier League Title Chase Thanks to a Brace From Haaland.

View the highlights of the Premier League game between London, United Kingdom’s Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City (MCI).

This page is now closed. Thanks for joining us. These were the updates as Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the Premier League on Tuesday, May 14:

  • Defending champions Manchester City beat Tottenham 2-0 in the Premier League.
  • Erling Haaland scores twice to settle what had been a nervy affair.
  • City climb back to the top of the table with one game remaining in the season.
  • Arsenal entertain Everton in their final game of the season on Sunday, while Manchester City host West Ham United.
  • The Spurs miss out on the fourth spot with the defeat as Aston Villa qualify for next season’s Champions League.

That’s it from our live coverage of Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester City in the Premier League.

City move two points clear of Arsenal at the top with one game to play after a brace for Erling Haaland.

It was a nervy affair at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and defeat for the home side means they miss out on Champions League football next season.

The battle for the title will go to the wire and so will the battle for the Europa League spots. Join us on Wednesday for our coverage of Manchester United and Newcastle United.

For now, though – from me, Kevin Hand – it’s goodbye.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou bristles after defeat

“The last 48 hours have revealed to me the foundations are pretty fragile,” he said at the post-match news conference.

“Outside and inside we need to go back to the drawing board with everything.

“I probably misread the situation in what is important in what you need to do to be a winning side.”

Speaking to Sky Sports, he added: “It was a tight game. In the big moments we weren’t able to capitalise and they were.

“We were in the goal the whole time. Even at 1-0, we had the chance to level. Up until their second we were in it.

“We had opportunities within the game to punish them. We still have some work to do.

“We lost the game so I’m disappointed (to miss out of the Champions League), we’ll assess the season as we go.

“Wherever you finish is a fair reflection of where you are at.”

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola gives his reaction to the win

“These type of games, with the emotions, are difficult,” he told Sky Sports.

“The opponent was difficult but in the right moment we punished them.

“They have a lot of pace to get in behind. They are an exceptional team.

“When you play thinking about the consequences, losing the Premier League, they feel the pressure and cannot perform to the usual level.

“It will be there against West Ham on Sunday, the emotions are there. You need to relax and do what you need to do.

“They are not celebrating anything. Relief because we lead going into the last game but everything can happen.”

Manchester United and Newcastle United face off on Wednesday

The battle for the Europa League positions, and indeed Erik ten Hag’s future as Manchester United manager, is our focus on Wednesday.

‘We know how things can swing in football’

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker gave his reaction to the win:

“It was always going to be difficult with the emotions and everything riding on it,” he told Sky Sports.

“It’s one step closer, it’s still not the job done but at least we bring it down to a game in front of our own fans.

“We had a job to do and we have done that. We know how things can swing against us in football.

“As the manager just said, we recover and prepare over the next three days and go and make history for this club.

“It’s not job done. There is still a game to go and a game to win.”

The points tally for Manchester City and Arsenal

Arsenal’s superior goal difference will give them some hope that a West Ham draw at Manchester City will be enough to offer the Gunners the chance to claim the title.

How Sunday shapes up for Manchester City and Arsenal

Manchester City host West Ham United on Sunday, while Arsenal entertain Everton.

Match Preview

Pep Guardiola said “history is in front of us” as he prepares his Manchester City team for a potentially tricky match at Tottenham on Tuesday that could ultimately decide the destination of the Premier League title. 

City, chasing an unprecedented fourth straight top-flight English league crown, is one point behind leaders Arsenal but crucially have a game in hand.

If City beats Spurs, it will be able to seal the championship with a win at home to West Ham on the final day of the season on Sunday, when Arsenal hosts Everton.

Guardiola’s men are charging towards the finishing line, hitting 28 goals in their past seven Premier League matches and conceding just five times. 

But the City boss, who said he was relishing the high-pressure title run-in, denied that the race was already effectively over. 

City has never won a league match at Tottenham’s new stadium, which opened in 2019, and has not even scored a goal, though it won there in the FA Cup in January.

DHFL Fraud: CBI Arrests Dheeraj Wadhawan in a Case Involving a Rs 34,000 Crore Bank Loan Scam.

This case, which concerns the purported deception of 17 banks, is being referred to as India’s biggest banking loan scam.

In connection with the bank fraud investigation involving Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Ltd (DHFL) around Rs 34,000 crore, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) detained Dheeraj Wadhawan on Tuesday.

This case, which concerns the purported deception of 17 banks, is being referred to as India’s biggest banking loan scam.

Wadhawan was already charged by the central agency in 2022 for his involvement in this case. Wadhawan was previously arrested by the CBI as part of the Yes Bank corruption investigation and then freed on bond.

The Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has ordered the attachment of bank accounts, shares, and mutual fund holdings of erstwhile DHFL promoters, Dheeraj and Kapil Wadhawan, in February 2021 in an attempt to recover outstanding dues of Rs 22 lakh.

The Wadhawan brothers’ inability to pay the fee levied on them in July of last year for violating disclosure standards led to the ruling.

The outstanding debts owed by each of the Wadhawans total Rs 10.6 lakh and include the original penalties, interest, and recovery expenses. The Wadhawan brothers, who were DHFL promoters at the time, were hit with penalties of Rs 10 lakh each by SEBI in July 2023 (now Piramal Finance). The violation of disclosure laws that went unreported led to the fine.

Dheeraj Wadhawan was a non-executive director of DHFL, while Kapil Wadhawan held the positions of Chairman and Managing Director. The administrative board of DHFL included both brothers.

In response to Dheeraj Wadhawan’s request for medical release, the Delhi High Court last Saturday sent a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

After his bail request for medical reasons was denied by a trial judge, Wadhawan filed an appeal with the High judge. Wadhawan underwent spinal surgery and is now recovering at his Mumbai home. The CBI has been instructed by Justice Jyoti Singh to provide a response, and a hearing has been set for this Friday, May 17.

Day After 14 Deaths, Mumbai Billboard Collapse Is Blame Game.

Mumbai: A day after the deadly collapse of a 14,400 square foot billboard in Mumbai’s Ghatkopar – 14 people were killed and 74 others injured after the creaking 100-foot metal structure, buffeted by strong winds, fell on and crushed a petrol station – the human cost of the tragedy has been underlined. Family members of those who were crushed spoke to Tuesday morning, explaining how and why their loved ones were at the scene of the disaster – whether as staff at the petrol station or customers.

“My brother, an auto driver, went to fill CNG. He was in line when the hoarding fell on him. We went but the police would not let us approach. Then they sent us to the hospital, where we had to show photos to confirm he had died,” one man said.

He appealed to the state for help, saying his brother was the family’s primary earner. “We are poor people… where will go, what will we do? My brother was responsible for us… he also left behind a wife and child. There should be an investigation.”

Another distraught kin – whose nephew, Sachin Yadav, worked at the petrol station, told NDTV the family would have never sent the 23-year-old to work there if told about the dispute behind the legality of the billboard. “My brother’s son… he was working there for two years. We found out only yesterday night that he had been crushed by the billboard. We rushed there but there was such a commotion that no one could tell us anything. Only at 4 am we were told to go to the hospital.”

Sachin Yadav, 23, was one of those who was killed in the Mumbai billboard collapse.

Some family members have also questioned the state government’s compensation of ₹ 5 lakh per death, pointing out many of those who were crushed to death had young children.

“My cousin brother (who died)… his child has just given her Class 10 exam. Will ₹ 5 lakh be enough for her education? How will his family survive now on this amount? And even if they can, it will take five-six months for the money to come. What will they do till then? They must think about this…”

21 Hours Later, Rescue Ops Continue

The aftermath of the horrible incident – search and rescue ops to save more people and, possibly, recover more bodies – continued into Tuesday afternoon, more than 21 hours after the collapse. Rescue ops included teams from the NDRF, or National Disaster Response Force, as well as earth-movers from the BMC, and teams of emergency medical personnel. Gas-cutters have also been deployed, but there are concerns over using these, given the accident site is a petrol station.

The NDRF is using two cranes – each weighing 500 tons – to shift the metal debris and create tunnels into which rescue personnel can crawl and pull out those trapped inside.

“Painful, Sad Incident”, Says Chief Minister

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi today as Prime Minister Narendra Modi filed his nomination papers for the 2024 Lok Sabha election, visited the site of the tragedy and has announced ex-gratia of ₹ 5 lakh per death.

“It is a painful and sad incident… I visited the spot yesterday. The government will bear all expenses of people injured. ₹ 5 lakh as compensation will be given to the next of kin (and) strict action will be taken against the owner of the hoarding.”

President Droupadi Murmu has also reacted. She posted a statement on X (formerly Twitter), “News of several casualties due to the collapse of a hoarding in Ghatkopar area of Mumbai is extremely sad. I express my deepest condolences to the bereaved families. I pray for the speedy recovery of the injured and wish for the success of the relief and rescue operations.”

Officials’ Blame Game Over Billboard Collapse

Meanwhile, the hoarding collapse has also triggered (an entirely predictable) blame game.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has declared the billboard – a 120 X 120 foot structure reportedly in the Limca Book of Records – was “illegal”, i.e., it did not give the advertising agency permission to erect that and other such structures.

Also, according to officials cited by news agency PTI, the BMC limits billboard sizes to 40 x 40 foot only.

“We have ordered action against all illegal hoardings in the city. We are starting today. A case has been filed in this case (as) this hoarding did not have permission. A complaint was also received that some trees had been cut so this hoarding could be visible. We have filed a case in this regard too,” BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani told reporters.

However, the ad agency – Ego Media, which built four hoardings – each 100-150 metres from the other – on land leased by the Maharashtra government to the Police Welfare Corporation – is understood have to received ‘permission’ from the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Railways). The land had initially been given to the Government Railway Police, officials said.

The civic body has issued a notice demanding the hoardings still standing be taken down.

The GRP, however, has pitched responsibility Mumbai back to the civic body, saying it does not have the equipment to take the structures down and asked the BMC to act instead. In a statement, the GRP said then Mumbai Police Commissioner, Qaiser Khalid, had given permission – a 10-year lease on the land – to Ego Media.

Meet man, Mukesh Ambani’s close aide, runs Rs 200000 crore Reliance company, helps Isha Ambani in…

Kundapur Vaman Kamath was appointed as an independent director of Reliance Industries for a period of five years in 2022 by Mukesh Ambani, the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries.

Mukesh Ambani is the richest man in India with a net worth of more than Rs 920239 crore and he has been leading the list of richest Indians for quite a long time now. He is the chairperson of Reliance Industries which is the most valuable company in India with a market cap of Rs 1898000 crore. Mukesh Ambani is often lauded for his vision, risk-taking abilities, and business mindset. To take the company to these heights, Mukesh Ambani got support from many people, one such person is Kundapur Vaman Kamath.

K V Kamath is a distinguished member of Reliance’s Board. In 2022, Mukesh Ambani, the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, named Kundapur Vaman Kamath as an independent director of the company for a term of five years. 

In addition, he holds the positions of Non-Executive Chairman and Independent Director at Jio Financial Services, a RIL subsidiary that became independent in August 2023. Isha Ambani is a director of Jio Financial Services.

K V Kamath’s association with Reliance dates back to critical moments in the history of the business, particularly the division between Mukesh and Anil Ambani after their father Dhirubhai Ambani passed away. His appointment to the board in 2022 was a turning point in the company’s history, indicating his significant influence on Reliance’s direction.

K V Kamath is paid according to the level of his efforts and experience as a board member. For the fiscal year 2022–2023, reports state that there will be a commission of Rs 39 lakh and a sitting fee of Rs 3 lakh. This is notably different from Mukesh Ambani’s arrangement, wherein he chooses not to accept a profit-based commission or pay.

Kamath is a mechanical engineer who completed his undergraduate studies at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK Surathkal) and his postgraduate studies in business administration at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM Ahmedabad).
