Shah Rukh Khan's 60th Birthday: Farah, Karan, And Navya Sail To Alibag

Shah Rukh Khan is going to turn 60 on November 2, 2025, and his fans, family, and friends can't keep calm. If rumours are believed to be true, King Khan will be ringing in his 60th at his Alibag farmhouse.

While the guest list for the celebration has not been revealed, we at least know that his dear friends, Farah Khan and Karan Johar, will surely be with him on his big day.

Farah Khan, Karan Johar And Navya Naveli Nanda Sail To Alibag

Farah Khan shared a video on November 1, 2025, from a boat while sailing to Alibag. "Karan's day out on the RoRo!!" read the caption of the reel.

The video begins with Farah Khan introducing viewers to Karan Johar. She said, "Look who is here using commercial transport."

Karan replied, "Hi, Farah! Thank you, Farah, for inviting me. This has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Farah rhetorically asked, "How does it feel to be on the deck here with all of us, common people?"

"Just don't tell anyone," replied Karan Johar, while channelling his inner Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

In a video shared on her Instagram story, Farah Khan also got Navya Naveli Nanda and Vedang Raina in the frame. Navya was holding a basket full of snacks, and Farah quickly pointed out that it looked like a Bridgerton picnic scene.

While the gang had quite the spread, including pasta, laid out in front of them, they also packed banana chips, cookies, potato chips, biscuits, and a lot more.

On Shah Rukh Khan's 60th birthday, many of his films are re-releasing in theatres. He also conducted his famous #AskSRK on X (formerly known as Twitter), and wittily replied to a fan asking why he looks so handsome.

"I think age suits me.....sexy at sixty!!! Superb at seventy....Enticing at eighty and so forth," read his answer.

Rare ‘Second-Generation’ Black Holes Detected, Proving Einstein Right Again

Scientists have detected two unusual black hole mergers showing signs of “second-generation” origins — meaning each large black hole likely formed from an earlier merger. The gravitational-wave signals also matched Einstein’s predictions on spinning black holes, offering fresh proof of general relativity and new insights into how black holes grow in crowded star systems.

Omar Abdullah vs Lt Governor Manoj Sinha Over Jammu And Kashmir Statehood

Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, accusing him of misleading people over the issue of statehood. Lt Governor Sinha said that statehood cannot be used as an excuse, adding that an elected government has all the powers it needs and should work for the welfare of the people.

"You can't use the excuse that work will take place only after statehood. The government has all the powers, and I want to convey forcefully that people shouldn't be fooled. Use your authority for the welfare of the people," Lt Governor Sinha said. 

Omar Abdullah hit back sharply, asking the Lt Governor to focus on his own work and taking a swipe at him over the Pahalgam terror attack. The Chief Minister said the attack, in which 26 people were killed, happened under the watch of the Lt Governor, who is responsible for security and law and order in Jammu and Kashmir.

"We know our work. He should focus on his. Twenty-six of our guests were killed in the Pahalgam terrorist attack. It happened under his watch, and he is advising us to do our work," said Omar Abdullah.

The J&K Chief Minister said that during his previous six-year term as Chief Minister of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, there was not a single incident in which a tourist was harmed. He said that "had I been responsible for security," an incident like Pahalgam would never have taken place.

"Who is responsible for the security of J&K? It's not in my hands. Had it been in my hands, such a situation would not have taken place," he said.

The Chief Minister said he would continue to raise the issue of statehood and also speak about the promises made to the people in the Supreme Court and Parliament.

"Why do they fear statehood? Why don't they want to leave power? If a promise has been made to the people of J&K, and people voted on that promise, why is the promise of statehood still unfulfilled?" he asked.

Omar Abdullah said the Centre should explain what constitutes an appropriate time for the restoration of statehood. "How do you measure it? On what scale do you weigh the appropriate time for statehood? As Chief Minister, I should at least know the goal or target set for J&K's statehood," he said.

The Chief Minister also accused Lt Governor Sinha of failing to deliver on the development front over the last six years of central rule.

"Unforgettable Experience": President Shares Pics Of Her Rafale Sortie

President Droupadi Murmu today flew in the two-seater Rafale fighter jet of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and called the experience "unforgettable". She is the first President of India to fly in two different fighter jets of the IAF. In 2023, she flew in another twin-seater, Sukhoi-30MKI.

The government shared several visuals of the President's sortie in the Rafale. It lasted 30 minutes and covered approximately 200 km.

After the flight, President Murmu shared her experience in the visitor's book.

"The sortie on Rafale is an unforgettable experience for me. This first flight on the potent Rafale aircraft has instilled in me a renewed sense of pride in the nation's defence capabilities. I congratulate the Indian Air Force," she said.

Later, in a post on X, she continued to share more of her experience of flying in the Rafale.

"This flight in the Rafale is an unforgettable experience for me. Today, from this modern aircraft, I am seeing this ancient land (of Haryana) and Brahmsarovar (in Kurukshetra), which is a symbol of our cultural diversity and historical journey. My faith in our military capabilities is becoming even more firm," she said.

Donning a G-suit and sporting sunglasses, the President, who is also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, was seen posing for pictures and flashing a thumbs-up gesture before the French-made jet, flown by Group Captain Amit Gehani, the Commanding Officer of the 17 Squadron, took off at 11.27 am.

Air Chief Marshal AP Singh also flew a sortie in a separate aircraft from the same air base.

Upon her arrival in Ambala, the President was accorded a ceremonial guard of honour. Prior to the flight, President Murmu was pictured with Squadron Leader Shivangi Singh, the country's first woman Rafale fighter jet pilot.

Manufactured by Dassault Aviation, Rafale was inducted into the IAF's 17 Squadron, the 'Golden Arrows', in September 2020 at Ambala Air Force Station. The first five Rafale aircraft, which arrived from France in July 2020, were inducted into the squadron. The jets were used in Operation Sindoor.

Dawood Ibrahim Aide Emerges As Drug Syndicate 'Kingpin', Arrested In Goa

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has arrested Danish Chikna, a close aide of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and "kingpin" of a drug syndicate, from Goa, officials said on Wednesday.

Danish Chikna alias Danish Merchant, who had been on the run, looked after operations of the drug network linked to Dawood's gang in the country, an official said.

The NCB has arrested Danish and three other persons and seized 1.341 kg of mephedrone from their possession, he said.

Based on intelligence inputs, the NCB Mumbai on September 18 intercepted a person in Pune, from whom 502 gm of mephedrone was seized.

In the immediate follow-up, 839 gm of the contraband was seized from another drug associate at the home of Danish and his wife in Mumbai, the official said.

During the probe, Danish, the "kingpin", and his wife were identified to be operating the drug syndicate. They had been on the run and travelled across multiple states to dodge the movement trail, he said.

After intensive follow-up action, they were located at a holiday resort in Goa.

The NCB team apprehended them from the resort in Goa on October 25. After interrogation, both were placed under arrest, the NCB said in a statement.

Danish is a habitual drug offender. The NCB and Rajasthan police had previously registered three cases against him under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, according to the official.

The Mumbai police have also registered seven criminal cases against him. The police had externed him, ordering him to stay out of the Mumbai municipal limits, the statement said.

Amid Divorce Rumours, Mahhi Vij Reacts To Jay Bhanushali's Post

Amid ongoing rumours of separation, actor Mahhi Vij has responded to her husband Jay Bhanushali's latest social media post featuring their daughter, Tara. 

What's Happening

• Jay Bhanushali recently took to Instagram to share a light-hearted video with his daughter Tara. In the clip, the kid can be seen dancing enthusiastically to the viral tune with the lyric "There's squirrels in my pants." 
• Jay joined her, lip-syncing the humorous line, "that girl's got some serious squirrels in her pants."
• Alongside the video, Jay captioned the post, "When Dad is alone with the kid, this has to happen (sic)." The post received an affectionate comment from Mahhi, who wrote, "Tara is the cutest (sic)."
• The cheerful video quickly attracted attention from fans, many of whom have been following the couple's updates closely. Their online interactions have been under scrutiny as reports about their alleged separation continue to circulate.
• Over the past few months, both Jay and Mahhi have kept a relatively low profile on social media, often sharing posts focused solely on their daughter rather than family moments together.

Background

Earlier this year, Mahhi addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding her marriage during an appearance on The Male Feminist podcast. Speaking candidly, she said, "Even if it is the case, why should I tell you? Are you my uncle? Will you pay my lawyer's fee? Why do people make such a big deal out of somebody's divorce or separation? I see people writing in my comments section, 'Mahi toh decent hai, Jay aisa hai' (She is decent, but Jay is not). Then somebody else writes, 'Jay accha hai, Mahi hi aise hai' (Jay is good, but she is not). They just want to blame someone. Do you even know the truth? What do you know?"

Despite ongoing rumours and reports of separation, both actors continue to share glimpses of their bond with their daughter, Tara.

Babar Azam Brutally Trolled After Duck On T20I Return Against South Africa

Pakistan cricket team batter Babar Azam was dismissed for a duck during the first T20I encounter against South Africa in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. Babar, who last played a T20I for Pakistan back in December 2024, failed to impress on his return as he was dismissed by Corbin Bosch. In the sixth over of Pakistan's innings, Babar completely miscued his shot against a pacy length delivery from Bosch. It was a simple catch for Reeza Hendricks at cover as Babar's stay at the crease lasted just two balls. Social media was not happy with Babar's performance and the Pakistan batter was trolled brutally by the users.

Earlier, Babar also dropped a sitter at long-on that proved to be costly for Pakistan. The incident happened in the 17th over of South Africa's innings as George Linde slammed a delivery from Shaheen Afridi straight to Babar. However, despite making his ground, the ball bounced out of his hands.

Why Didn't Cloud Seeding Cause Rain In Delhi? What IIT Kanpur Director Said

Attempts to induce rain through cloud seeding in parts of Delhi on Tuesday were "not completely successful" because the moisture content in the clouds was low and the process is not a magic bullet for the problem of pollution, but an SOS solution, IIT Kanpur Director Manindra Agarwal has said.

Speaking exclusively to NDTV on Tuesday, Agarwal, whose institute is collaborating with the Delhi government to carry out the experiment, also said attempts will be made again on Wednesday, and they are hoping for a better result. 

Explaining that the mixture used by the team has only 20% silver iodide and the rest is a combination of rock salt and common salt, Agarwal said 14 flares were fired on Tuesday. 

"There hasn't been any rain so far. So, in that sense, it was not completely successful. But, unfortunately, the clouds that are present today do not have very high moisture content. I am told it was only up to 15-20%. So, the possibility of causing rain with such low moisture content is not very high. But this trial has given more confidence to our team that we can continue conducting them," the IIT Kanpur director said. 

"There have been conflicting reports of the predictions about rain today. Some say there will be rain, some say there won't be. But what our team found was that the cloud cover had very little moisture content. And this could be true about the part we flew over... So we do not expect any rain to occur today," he added. 

Agarwal said two more such flights will be conducted on Wednesday, and the process will continue when there is cloud cover.

Asked whether cloud seeding could be a long-term solution to the persistent problem of pollution in Delhi, the IIT director was clear that it is not.

"It is an SOS solution. When you have a crisis situation, very high pollution, it is one of the methods one can attempt in order to bring down pollution. It is not a permanent solution. The permanent solution, of course, is to control the sources of pollution. And, ideally, we should reach a point when there is no need for cloud seeding, because there isn't any pollution. But until that happens, this is one tool which is available for reducing pollution to an extent," he explained.

The costs, he said, are high because the flights are being conducted from Uttar Pradesh, but those can be brought down substantially. 

"Any attempt which leads to a reduction of pollution benefits everyone. And even though it is not a permanent solution, even if it rains after a few days, at least it can provide some relief," he said. 

Government's Take

The Delhi government said in a report that the cloud seeding trials helped bring about a reduction in particulate matter in places where they were conducted. The report said two precipitation events were recorded - 0.1 mm of rain in Noida at 4 pm and double that in Greater Noida at the same time. 

"Before cloud seeding, the PM 2.5 level was 221, 230, and 229 in Mayur Vihar, Karol Bagh, and Burari, respectively, which reduced to 207, 206, and 203, respectively, after the first seeding. Similarly, PM 10 level was 207, 206, 209, which got reduced to 177, 163, 177 at Mayur Vihar, Karol Bagh, and Burari, respectively," said the report.

Ishitta Arun Slams Trolls Criticising Her For Smiling At Uncle's Funeral

Actor Ishitta Arun has found herself at the center of an online storm after a video from the funeral of her uncle, advertising icon Piyush Pandey, surfaced online. 

The clip showed Ishitta smiling and conversing with others, which drew criticism from some social media users who felt her demeanor was inappropriate for such a solemn occasion.

What's Happening

• Following the wave of trolling, Ishitta took to Instagram Stories on Sunday to address the backlash and offer her perspective on the moment that went viral. 
• Defending herself, she said that grief does not follow a set pattern and that her smile was a reflection of how her family chose to remember her uncle.
• Sharing a heartfelt note alongside a picture of Piyush Pandey, she wrote, "Grief isn't a single script. And when you're saying goodbye to a man who laughed louder than anyone else, remembering him through laughter isn't disrespect. It's continuity. It's muscle memory. It's knowing who he really was."
• Responding directly to those criticising her, Ishitta continued, "What you saw was us laughing at his line- a line only he could deliver. If you had known him, even in passing, you wouldn't have needed this explained."
• She further added, "We don't stage grief. We don't mute memory to make strangers comfortable. We remember him honestly- as laughter, courage, and life itself. Next time-know the story before you comment on the moment."
