Amid Vijay-Trisha Krishnan controversy, Aarti Ravi questions if empathy for wife depends on ‘market value’ of husband

Published by Parlour News

Recently, much has been said about actor-politician Vijay, his wife Sangeeta Sornalingam, who filed for divorce, and his alleged relationship with Trisha Krishnan. Ravi Mohan’s estranged wife, Aarti Ravi, made a cryptic Instagram post that Reddit believes is about the controversy. In her post, Aarti wonders why she didn’t receive similar support when Ravi attended a wedding with Kenishaa Francis last year. Reddit thinks that Aarti Ravi’s recent cryptic post is about Vijay and Trisha Krishnan. Aarti Ravi questions if empathy for wife depends on husband’s ‘market value’ Aarti has been penning her thoughts on Instagram lately, and her latest post has her wondering about a wife’s dignity. Without taking any names, she wrote, “The way I see it…Interesting to observe the sudden chatter around the dignity of a wife. The insensitivity of moving on publicly, and the emotional cost of watching a marriage unravel in the public eye. And that conversation is not wrong.” She then seemed to refer to the situation surrounding Ravi and Kenishaa last year when she wrote, “But it does …

MP Manish Tewari Warns India’s Global Power Depends on Protecting One Key Asset

Published by Parlour News

4 min readChandigarhMar 15, 2026 11:15 PM IST Written by Dhruv Noatay Emphasising that India’s greatest strength lies in the sanctity of its institutions and Constitution, Chandigarh MP Manish Tewari said the country’s ability to navigate an increasingly unstable world will depend as much on internal cohesion as on strategic diplomacy. Tewari was speaking at a discussion on his book A World Adrift, organised by the Punjab Lit Foundation at the Government Museum and Art Gallery auditorium in Sector 10 on Sunday. The conversation was moderated by former Punjab chief secretary Karan Avtar Singh. Reflecting on India’s role in a shifting global order, Tewari said the country faced a greater threat from within than from external actors. Preserving institutions and ensuring that the Constitution remains sacrosanct, he said, would be crucial to safeguarding India’s future. Half jokingly, he remarked that if parliamentarians simply ensured that Parliament functioned smoothly, “we would have done this country a great service”. He argued that India could move forward only if it remained politically anchored “in the middle”, warning against …

Don’t feel secure in sending our team to India, next step depends on ICC’s response: Bangladesh Cricket Board president | Cricket News

Published by Parlour News

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam on Monday said that “we do not feel secure” in sending the national team to India for the T20 World Cup considering the current circumstances. Aminul spoke to reporters a day after BCB formally requested the International Cricket Council (ICC) to shift their T20 World Cup games out of India, a strong move triggered by pacer Mustafizur Rahman’s release from the IPL on BCCI instruction. “You know that we, along with all the directors of the cricket board, held two meetings before taking this decision and at this moment we do not feel secure sending our team to India to play the World Cup,” Aminul said. “So we wrote a letter to the ICC, and in the letter we clearly stated what we wanted to say. Because tous, security appeared to be a major concern and that is what we are following. “We have sent an email to the ICC and we are expecting them to tell us to have a meeting with them soon where we will …

Do Indians feel safe walking alone at night? Depends on how you ask or calculate | Explained News

Published by Parlour News

Almost nine out of 10 Indians feel safe walking alone in their neighbourhoods after dark. However, the proportion drops sharply depending on how the question is asked, a study from the statistics ministry’s Household Survey Division has found. In a paper published late last month in the latest edition of ‘Sarvekshana’, the Journal of the National Statistics Office, officials from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) said a pilot survey conducted through phones showed that 88-90 per cent of respondents – including both men and women in rural and urban areas across two unspecified locations – felt safe while walking alone in their neighbourhood after dark. However, the proportion fell to as low as 69 per cent in the second location when the survey was conducted in-person and to an even lower 51 per cent when the indicator is calculated as defined by the United Nations. The need to walk alone The proportion of the population that feels safe walking alone around the area they live after dark is one of the global …

Seema Sajdeh opens up about divorce from Sohail Khan, reveals cheating isn’t a deal-breaker for her: ‘Depends on what kind of affair…’ | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Seema Sajdeh, best known for appearing on the Netflix reality show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, separated from actor-filmmaker Sohail Khan in 2022. Their divorce was addressed on the show, and Seema is now seeing someone else. In a new interview, she said that her sons are her priority, as she opened up about the conditioning that she had to unlearn to make peace with her decision to separate from Sohail. Seema admitted that there was a time when she’d blame everything on him, but said that divorce can often be harder for men because women are equipped to deal with emotional upheaval more effectively. In an interview with Janice Sequeira, she said, “When you’re in a marriage where you’re constantly bickering and at each other, you’re not giving your 100% to your kids also. They’re losing out. Seeing this irritable parent in the house, the atmosphere is tense, you can literally cut it with a knife because it’s so thick.” Seema also said that situations like this usually arise from a cumulative experience, and …

When is workplace chat ‘just gossip’ and when is it ‘sharing information’? It depends who’s doing it | Workplace News

When is workplace chat ‘just gossip’ and when is it ‘sharing information’? It depends who’s doing it | Workplace News

Published by Parlour News

When two junior employees bump into each other in the corridor and start chatting about their manager’s overbearing manner, it’s typically considered gossip. But what about when two managers have an off-record catch-up to discuss an under-performing employee? Both scenarios meet traditional definitions of gossip – the information being shared is about other people, the people it’s about are absent, the information is shared in a way that casts judgement on those people, and it’s informal. Yet the two situations are viewed very differently. What counts as gossip is much more slippery than we might think. I reviewed 184 academic articles to understand what really constitutes workplace gossip. The key, I found, is not any set of objective criteria, but rather people’s shared agreement that a situation counts as gossip. Story continues below this ad This understanding of gossip helps us make sense of the “workplace gossip paradox” – the idea that gossip can be considered both a reliable source of social information (“the inside word”) and an unreliable information source (“just gossip”).

THROWBACK: When Katrina Kaif admitted she ‘never felt objectified’ in Chikni Chameli; ‘It all depends on…’

Published by Parlour News

It goes without saying that Katrina Kaif has some really sizzling dance moves! She has been a part of several blockbuster dance numbers where she has wowed fans with her dancing skills. One of her blockbuster songs, Chikni Chameli from Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath, has often been accused of objectifying women. However, the actress, in an earlier interview, clarified that she never saw it that way. In an interview with DNA back in 2018, Katrina Kaif admitted that she never felt objectified while shooting for popular dance numbers. She stated that it all depends on the person performing the song. She explained her point by citing examples of Madonna and Beyoncé, who perform in swimsuits on stage but, she believed, wouldn’t feel objectified. “It’s all about how you feel while you are performing that song. I can tell you, I never felt objectified in Chikni Chameli. I enjoyed that song. I enjoyed the dance, I enjoyed what I was doing. I didn’t even for a moment felt objectified or brought any kind of wrong eyes on …

Is the IVR Menu Dead? Well, That Depends

Is the IVR Menu Dead? Well, That Depends

Published by Webster

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) menus seem old-fashioned compared to today’s AI-driven alternatives like conversational IVR and interactive virtual assistants (IVAs). So I don’t blame you for thinking that the IVR menu is obsolete, too old-fashioned to use in a world where customers interact with brands through apps and chatbots. But it’s not dead at all. The basic IVR menu is still a critical component of customer support strategies, thanks to its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and proven ability to handle high call volumes with minimal fuss. Even with the surge of AI in call centers, traditional IVR menus excel at providing simple, reliable, and structured interactions that many customers prefer for quick resolutions. For example, IVR payment systems streamline collections by enabling secure transactions without the need for an agent or app. This is just one of many efficiencies that highlight the unique value IVR brings to customer support — at a fraction of the cost of AI-enabled alternatives. First, I’ll go through the main reasons that this nearly-ancient technology is so incredibly valuable to modern businesses. …

Farmers raise slogans as they block the Golden Gate Highway during the farmers’ protest. File | Photo Credit: ANI Farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar Thursday (January 2, 2025) said it is in the hands of the Centre on how long their protest will continue as he asserted that there should be no hitch in accepting their demands as a parliamentary panel has recommended legal guarantee to MSP. With farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewa’s indefinite hunger strike entering its 38th day, Mr. Kohar said his health is deteriorating day-by-day and he has put his life at stake for the farmers’ cause. When asked how long their protest at Khanauri and Shambhu border will continue, Kohar told reporters, “That is in the hands of the Centre. If they fulfill our demands…” On the Supreme Court Thursday (January 2, 2025) observing that some farmer leaders are making irresponsible statements in the media to further complicate the situation on the ground, he said they are yet to go through the court’s observations. “It is important to study today’s proceedings…,” he …

Josh Hazlewood says his availability for Brisbane Test depends on the ‘next 24 hours’ | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Josh Hazlewood said he can return to the Australian squad for the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against India after bowling two training spells at full pace at the Adelaide Oval on Monday. Hazlewood missed the pink-ball Test in Adelaide last week due to a side strain, but if his recovery stays on course, he could return to full fitness to play the next Test in Brisbane, starting Saturday. “I think it’ll be how I pull up in the 24 hours following it really,” Hazelwood told a press conference, per Reuters. “It’s just that repetitive (action) and obviously two spells makes a big difference. Cooling down pretty much fully and then going again in the same day, and the intensity has got to be right up there as well. So a few boxes to tick, but it’s probably the 24 hours that follow and pulling up again the next day and then thinking ‘yeah, I’d be right to go again if I had to’.” After troubling the Indian top order in the first innings of the …
