When Tajikistani singer and social media influencer Abdu Rozik entered the Bigg Boss 16 house, he quickly became one of the season’s most beloved contestants thanks to his infectious energy, catchy songs, and warm bond with host Salman Khan. However, despite his popularity and time on the reality show, Abdu now claims he never received any payment for his participation. Speaking on the House of Zen podcast, Abdu alleged that the people managing him at the time pocketed all of his earnings. “In this world, people don’t care about you. I worked with them for three or four years. They helped me grow, but the money from the shows I did, they took it. Imagine, I didn’t get paid a single dollar for Bigg Boss. They scammed me badly. They took everything,” he claimed. Abdu said that while many assume he is wealthy because of his fame, the reality is quite different. Salman Khan with Abdu Rozik.

Why the World Bank is ‘actually optimistic’ about India despite the rupee hitting 95 per dollar

Published by Parlour News

The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) management of the rupee’s exchange rate has received a thumbs-up from the World Bank, with its officials noting that the economy’s strong buffers at the start of the war in West Asia explain why the Bank is “actually optimistic” about India’s ability to withstand the brunt of the ongoing crisis. “I think that the position of the central bank been very consistent: manage short-term volatility in the exchange rate, which is exactly what you would want to do in in situations where shocks could be nonlinear and then the snowball effects kick in; but overall, not try to influence the course of the currency when there are these massive structural forces in the market,” Aurélien Kruse, World Bank’s Lead Country Economist for India, said on Thursday. “So as far as I can tell, even though it’s not my role to comment on the RBI’s policy, it makes a lot of sense to me,” he added.

Before going to prison, the seasoned actor stated that he did not have the money to clear his dues. This prompted several celebrities to extend financial help, and he was eventually granted bail. Recently, at an awards show, Rajpal Yadav was seen addressing the rising dollar rate and the falling rupee. However, he was mocked by the host in response. The video soon went viral, and now superstar Salman Khan has spoken out in support of Yadav.

Rupee slips to 93.73 against dollar as crude prices rise amid Iran uncertainty

Rupee slips to 93.73 against dollar as crude prices rise amid Iran uncertainty

Published by Webster

The Indian rupee started Tuesday’s trading at 93.66 per US dollar before slipping to 93.73, down 20 paise from Monday’s close. The local unit had hit a record low of 93.98 against the greenback in the previous session, the PTI reported. Analysts attributed the weakness to rising crude oil prices and ongoing tensions in West Asia. Why exactly is Rupee crashing? Crude oil and FII outflows weigh heavily on rupee. Rising global crude oil prices, a key concern for India as a net importer, added further pressure on the currency. The more the demand for USD, the more rupee crashes. Brent crude futures were trading at USD 103.9 per barrel. Analysts warn that sustained high oil prices may increase inflation and widen India’s import bill, negatively affecting growth projections, the news agency reported. Heavy foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows also contributed to the rupee’s weakness, with equities sold worth Rs 10,414 crore on Monday as per exchange data. Meanwhile, domestic markets showed resilience, with the Sensex rising 829 points to 73,525 and the Nifty up …
