https://ift.tt/ICtm9bf In the Tamil Nadu assembly election, what are the changes actor Vijay's new party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) would cut into the vote share of the ruling DMK headed by Chief Minister MK Stalin? NDTV Editor-in-Chief Rahul Kanwal looks at some scenarios and the many 'what if' that may play out after sundown on counting day. Traditionally, Tamil Nadu has shown strong swings in change of power every five years. Would Stalin's DMK be able to hold on to power, or Vijay's TVK reshape the contest entirely? If the TVK gets 14 per cent of the vote share, it could be a knockout blow. But for whom? This, and many other questions are up for discussion among experts and editors on the ground who are trying to make sense of what would happen. In one simulation, TVK picked up 8 per cent vote share, which would dent the DMK and the AIADMK as well; 2 per cent of this vote share comes from the DMK and 4 per cent from the AIADMK. So it seems TVK is hurting ...

https://ift.tt/uDHnJNg The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has initiated a formal investigation into Rajasthan Royals (RR) team manager Romi Bhinder, who was spotted using a mobile phone in the dugout during the side's IPL 2026 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Guwahati. The incident, captured live by TV cameras at the ACA Stadium, showed Bhinder using a device while seated next to teenage left-handed opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi , who was looking at the screen. The footage has since gone viral and raised questions regarding a breach of the league's strict anti-corruption protocols. According to the IPL's Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA) regulations, a team manager may use a phone in the dressing room area but 'NOT' in the dugout. Saikia confirmed to IANS on Sunday that the BCCI Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) is currently verifying the details of the incident and has begun its probing exercise. "As per the PMOA regulations, cer...

https://ift.tt/wmvbaTE Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the main protagonists in any Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Mumbai Indians clash in IPL 2026. Fans assembled at the Wankhede Stadium were treated to a Kohli half-century - his 65th in the IPL - which came off 37 balls. Yet, he appeared unhappy. In fact, he did not even celebrate the milestone after reaching it on the second ball of the 15th over bowled by Hardik Pandya . He departed two balls later while trying to break the shackles and looked frustrated. A strike rate of 131.58 may have been the reason. While Kohli was attempting to play the sheet-anchor role, the innings of Rajat Patidar (53 off 20 balls) and Phil Salt (78 off 36 balls) were in complete contrast. kohli throwing his off his gloves and helmet, man he's so pissed off by himself pic.twitter.com/8gbtBwX9tA — satyam (@noontonightt) April 12, 2026 Virat Kohli looks disappointed after getting out , Still he has scored a half century for not like Virat Kohl...

https://ift.tt/2hpQDlS The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday withdrew its order appointing Sandeep Mittal as the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) Chief in Tamil Nadu after the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) wrote to the poll body branding the appointment as "biased and arbitrary". The poll body said in its new order that Mittal will continue as the Director General of Police (Armed Police). It, however, didn't clarify if Davidson Devasirvatham, the current DVAC chief, will continue in his role. In a letter to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, DMK Treasurer and MP TR Baalu also objected to the transfer of Chief Secretary Muruganandam. He stated that no reasons were cited in the ECI's order and that no major political party had raised complaints against the outgoing Chief Secretary. He questioned the rationale behind the transfer, calling it "arbitrary and unreasonable". The DMK has requested the ECI to revok...

https://ift.tt/fWrew16 Over the past two weeks, two Bollywood films have dominated the conversation across print, video, and social media.  The spy thriller Dhurandhar 2 (still raking in the crores), and Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana , whose polarising teaser sparked both massive buzz and intense trolling. This brings us to a filmmaker who mastered these two very different genres: the gritty spy thriller and the timeless sacred epic.  He was the man who gave India its first genuine, big-budget spy blockbuster and its most beloved on-screen Ramayan . His name was Chandramouli Chopra. Never heard of him? Don't worry. He changed his name, and the world came to know him as Ramanand Sagar. Yes, the same Ramanand Sagar who created the 1980s TV phenomenon Ramayan . A show that an entire generation claimed as their own, and one that, even today, is regarded as the gold standard of mythological storytelling. But long before he brought the gods to the small screen, he was busy definin...

Sameera Reddy recently got candid about splurging money on expensive items in the 2000s and how she stopped it. What's Happening In a candid conversation with Hauterfly, Sameera Reddy displayed some of her most luxe items worth lakhs. She has a horde of luxury bags, some even ranging between Rs 3 lakh-4 lakh-frivolous spending at its peak to gel with the image of showing one's success. Sameera Reddy said, "Back then I was a shopaholic." Recalling one of her luxury bag purchases, she said, "This is Dior Gaucho bag. This is from 2005. When I just started films, I felt like I needed all the latest bags. I remember this was one of the first bags I got. I bought these bags because I felt the pressure to fit in. People usually say how they love bags, but I really bought these things so that people will think I ...
