A post shared by Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk)

It is without a doubt that Shah Rukh Khan is a big fan of superstar Rajinikanth. Prior to his film Jawan's release, the actor had revealed in one of his AskSRK sessions that he had watched superstars Rajinikanth, Allu Arjun, Yash and Vijay's films to prep for the film. It so happened that a fan asked Shah Rukh Khan about his Jawan prep. "Did you see a lot of movies revolving around your role in Jawan to better prepare for it," SRK was asked. He replied, "I watched a lot of films of Atlee. Vijay sir, Allu Arjun ji, Rajni sir, Yash and loads of other stars to understand the language of expression for the world that was being created. And yes then prepped for my own character too Jawan."

Why Airtel, Reliance Jio & Vodafone support this US bill

The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) is urging the Indian government to adopt a bill similar to the one proposed in the US Congress. The bill, called the Lowering Broadband Costs for Consumers Act of 2023, aims to make large internet apps contribute to infrastructure costs in order to lower broadband costs for consumers. It also proposes that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandate social media platforms, streaming services, and other edge service providers to contribute to a universal fund for building networks. The bill classifies various services including social media platforms, streaming services, video gaming services, and search engines under edge service providers. COAI believes that this bill supports their stance and wants only large traffic generators to contribute to infrastructure costs in India.

J&K verdict: Pak blusters but may find 'face saver' in statehood

The Supreme Court J&K verdict solidifies the revocation of the special status of J&K, allowing India to present it as a fait accompli to Pakistan. The judgement also highlights India's position that Pakistan has no role in the internal affairs of J&K. It inspires hope for an India-Pakistan detente once the newly elected governments are in power. Pakistan sees the order for early return to statehood as a potential face saver and a way to untangle the knots in the India-Pakistan relationship.

Vishnu Deo Sai, 59-yr-old tribal leader, to be next C'garh CM

Vishnu Deo Sai, a grassroots leader, has been chosen as the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh. Known for his gentle demeanour, organisational skills, and tribal roots, Sai's rise to power follows his journey from interning on the political shop floor to earning his stripes on the big stage. With the BJP's massive victory in the state, where the tribal population accounts for over 32% of voters, Sai's appointment reflects the party's strategy to connect with the electorate and counter the aggressive brand of politics practiced by the opposition Congress party.

India rejects 'secret memo' claim over Nijjar killing

India strongly rejects fake a report alleging a secret memo issued by the Indian government in April to take concrete measures against Sikh separatists, including Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Indian spokesperson dismisses the report as part of a sustained disinformation campaign against India and accuses the outlet as known for propagating fake narratives peddled by Pakistani intelligence. In September, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged the potential involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Nijjar. India rejected the charges as absurd.

Trump has the edge over Biden if elections were held today: Report

If the 2024 US elections were held today, former President Trump would beat President Biden, according to a poll from the Wall Street Journal cited by the New York Post. The survey also showed that former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley had a significant lead over Biden, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had a draw with Biden. Voters tend to trust Trump more than Biden on significant issues like the economy, crime, inflation, border security, and the situation in Israel-Hamas. Abortion could be a decisive issue in the election. Trump maintains a strong position in the GOP presidential primary.
