Mother’s Day 2026: In Bollywood, acting has long been seen as a generational profession, with film families passing their legacy from one generation to another. Several female actors in the industry grew up watching their own mothers balance stardom and family life, while some even witnessed them step away from the spotlight for their children. However, when it comes to their own kids entering the industry, many celebrity moms hold different perspectives, with some encouraging individuality and education first, while others remain protective about exposing their children to fame and public scrutiny at an early age. This Mother’s Day, let’s look at such Bollywood moms and what they have shared about stardom and fame. Tanuja-Kajol-Nysa Kajol has often spoken about the lessons she learned from her mother, veteran actor Tanuja. In an earlier interview, Kajol shared, “The biggest learning I have got from my mom was when she sat me down and told me you have to think for yourself, take responsibility for your actions and live with the consequences, whatever they may be.

3 min readApr 17, 2026 12:48 AM IST Former world champion Garry Kasparov has said that on current form Javokhir Sindarov looks “more impressive” than India’s D Gukesh ahead of their upcoming World Chess Championship match at the end of the year. Kasparov also said that should Sindarov manage to defeat Gukesh at the world championship, Magnus Carlsen might be tempted to make a return. Sindarov won the Candidates tournament in Cyprus without losing a single game and had taken a healthy lead by the time half the tournament had ended. “The way he won the Candidates, it was very impressive. I must say, it’s hard to impress me. But the way Sindarov played — his timing, the quality of his moves, his ability to withstand pressure and increase the pressure on his opponents — was exceptional,” Kasparov said in an interview with St Louis Chess Club’s YouTube handle. “Compared to Gukesh, if you look at the games, Sindarov looks like the clear favorite. But this match is a special format. Gukesh is very mentally …

3 min readApr 2, 2026 08:38 PM IST Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Arun Dhumal has said ‘there is definitely less interest in some bilateral games’ and that they would seek a seat on the table when the Future Tours Programme cycle would be designed post-2027. Dhumal further argued that for the IPL to move from 74 games at present to 94, and expand to 12 teams from the current 10, they would ‘really need a bigger window’. “It is a limited window between roughly mid-March and the end of May. As soon as June starts, the monsoon approaches the southern part of India, so there is no way you can extend at that point in time,” Dhumal told the Financial Times. :If we try to go from 74 to 94 games in the current window, we will end up having more double-headers. That does not work well for broadcasters. We have to look at their interests too. That is why we have restricted ourselves to 74 games.” Dhumal added: “When we go into the …

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) presented a 20-year plan to the Indian Super League clubs on Friday in which it would own and operate the top-division, which would run from a June to May cycle, and share half of the central revenue equally among the participating teams. The governing body’s proposal comes days after it rejected the clubs’ blueprint, where they recommended to own the league. The latest suggestion comes following a meeting of the committee in charge to come up with a solution to kick-start India’s stalled domestic season — comprising AIFF and ISL club officials — on Friday. Mandar Tamhane, the chief executive of John Abraham-owned NorthEast United, said the AIFF’s proposal laid a ‘solid foundation’ for further talks.
