Music composer-turned-director Palaash Muchhal recently found himself in the spotlight after reports of his wedding with cricketer Smriti Mandhana being called off made headlines. Actor Daisy Shah is maintaining a measured stance, saying she would refrain from judging him based on his personal life, as she is not aware of what truly went on behind the scenes. Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana were supposed to tie the knot on November 23 last year.

Budget 2026: Actual economic growth often exceeds Economic Survey`s projections

Budget 2026: Actual economic growth often exceeds Economic Survey`s projections

India`s economic growth has often exceeded the projections made in the Economic Survey, with 2025-26 expecting to record 7.4 per cent growth as against the 6.3-6.8 per cent projection made in the pre-Budget document. The GDP growth in 2023-24 worked out to be 9.2 per cent as against the Survey`s projection of 6-6.8 per cent. However, in 2024-25, economic growth was 6.5 per cent, in line with the projection of 6.5-7 per cent. The analysis indicates that the target was missed in 2022-23, when the actual economic growth was 7.6 per cent as against the Economic Survey`s projection of 8-8.5 per cent. In 2021-22, due to Covid, the Economic Survey did not make any projection, but the growth worked out to be 9.7 per cent, mainly because of the base effect. The growth in 2020-21 was negative at 5.8 per cent, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget 2026 on February 1. Presented just ahead of the Budget, the survey sets the …

Three-time Grammy Award-winning music composer Ricky Kej has pointed everyone’s attention to the “one actor in India we don’t celebrate enough.” No, it’s not any mainstream star like Ranveer Singh or Ranbir Kapoor, or any streaming star like Jaideep Ahlawat or Manoj Bajpayee. It’s a female actor, and one of the very few Indian actors, who has successfully transitioned from Bollywood to Hollywood — Priyanka Chopra. “She is the ONLY Indian actor (of any generation) who has truly made waves in Hollywood and globally (After being one of the most sought after in India for many years),” wrote Ricky on his X handle on Saturday. He pointed out how Priyanka has worked with not only most of Bollywood’s best, but also several leading Hollywood stars over the years. The list includes Dwayne Johnson in Seth Gordon’s 2017 action comedy Baywatch (in which she played the chief antagonist), Keanu Reeves in Lana Wachowski’s 2021 sci-fi action movie The Matrix Resurrections, Pedro Pascal in Robert Rodriguez’s 2020 superhero film We Can Be Heroes, Stanley Tucci and Richard …
