When Youssef Ezzejjari signed with East Bengal FC, the Red & Gold faithful were cautiously optimistic. They had seen marquee strikers arrive in the City of Joy before, only to crumble under the crushing weight of expectation. Turns out, the footballing gods were on their side this time! As Emami East Bengal ended their agonizing wait to claim the Indian Super League title, the Spaniard who also represented Morocco at youth level, emerged not just as the top goal-scorer, but as the pulsating heart of a historic resurgence. “I cannot describe the emotions after that final whistle on the final day. We had a few intense weeks, but then the way we bounced back in the last game against Inter-Kashi was commendable. And the celebration after that with the fans, and in the locker room with the staff was simply amazing,” Youssef recalled in an exclusive conversation with The Bridge. That he would become a cult hero so soon was something not even he had imagined. “Since day one, the moment you arrive, you realise …

Actor-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt has opened up about her separation from former husband Manish Makhija, revealing that loneliness, not conflict, was what ultimately led her to walk away from their marriage. In a conversation with Vickey Lalwani, Pooja spoke about her relationship with Makhija, whom she married in a private ceremony in Goa in August 2003 after the two met while working on her directorial debut Paap. After more than 11 years of marriage, the couple separated in 2014 by mutual consent. Pooja said one of the biggest misconceptions people had about her divorce was that there had to be someone else in her life. “A lot of my friends asked me, ‘You’ve been married for 11 years. Why are you ending the marriage? Is there someone else?’ The answer was no. There was nobody else. I wasn’t even thinking about another person.” Instead, she said the real issue was emotional isolation. “I ended my marriage because I felt lonely in that relationship. When you are living with someone and still feel alone, that relationship has …

However, Kher says he has moved past the unpleasantness, recalling a warm interaction he shared with Naseeruddin Shah when the two met at a prayer meeting. In a conversation with Times Now, Kher spoke about his long-standing admiration for Shah, their meeting and why he no longer has the time or desire to hold grudges. ‘We all wanted to be like Naseeruddin Shah’ Looking back at his early years in theatre, Kher said Naseeruddin Shah was among the actors he idolised. “I was always star-struck by Naseeruddin because he was the first star actor to emerge from drama school. We all wanted to be like him and Om Puri because they were among the first actors to land leading roles in parallel cinema. “Deep down, I also wanted to work with Sharmila Tagore and Moushumi …

In a recent podcast, Shahana opened up about their love story, and reflected on the reasons behind their breakup. During a candid chat with Siddharth Kannan, Shahana recalled approaching Milind as a fan and said, “When I was 16-17 years old, I was in Delhi and one of Milind’s film (Rules: Pyaar Ka Superhit Formula) had released at that time. My school friends and I went to see that film. I also thought why are we going to watch a model’s film? It would have very bad acting, but I was mesmerised by Milind in the film. He acted very well. The film was also very sweet.” She continued, “After the film, I was obsessed with him. See how destiny played. I was trying to find his address on the internet to send letters, and I came across his landline number. During that time, my father had gifted me a cellphone, which was very …

How Saif Ali Khan co-star’s brush with underworld ended her Bollywood career: ‘Ran away…changed number’

Published by Parlour News

In the recent past, instances involving several top names from the Hindi film industry, including Karan Johar and David Dhawan, being threatened by underworld gangsters in the 90s have come to light. Bollywood’s association with the mafia was at its peak during the 1980s and 1990s, and it was around this time that actor Sakshi Shivanand had a brush with the underworld—an incident that ultimately impacted her career in Hindi films. Sakshi Shivanand left Hindi films due to a producer’s mafia connections. ‘Underworld connection in Bollywood was strong’ Sakshi made her acting debut in Telugu cinema with the 1993 release Anna Vadina. She then moved to Hindi films and starred in projects like Vinod Khanna’s Janam Kundli, Mahesh Bhatt’s Papa Kehte Hain, and Dharmendra’s Jeeo Shaan Se. However, she did not find much success in Bollywood and eventually returned to South cinema. There, she went on to work in successful projects with top stars like Chiranjeevi, Mammootty, and Arvind Swamy. Later, she got another opportunity to make a comeback in Hindi films and appeared in …

The reason behind his removal, he stated, was because of the appointment of a foreign coach. “It’s seems like My coaching career comes to an end after 1.5 years, during which we played 5 tournaments and secured 5 podium finishes, including a Junior World Cup bronze medal. I have heard about coaches getting fired after bad performances. But this is the first time I am experiencing being removed to make way for a foreign coach,” Sreejesh posted on X on Wednesday. “The Hockey India President stated that the chief coach of the senior men’s team prefers a foreign head coach for the junior team, believing it will help develop Indian hockey from the junior level through to the senior level.

How a misspelled Bihar village and a fake ‘2027 Census’ ended a Delhi man’s 40-year run from the law

How a misspelled Bihar village and a fake ‘2027 Census’ ended a Delhi man’s 40-year run from the law

Published by Parlour News

A suspect, a misspelled name of a village in Bihar’s Nalanda district: This was all a Delhi Police Crime Branch team had when they reopened a 40-year-old murder case in late March and pulled out a copy of the FIR from the records. From its damaged pages, they managed to piece together the events of October 19, 1986. The man they were looking for, Chander Shekhar Prasad, was 44 years old then. He was a cardboard businessman. Before entering the business, he’d worked as a compositor at a prominent English newspaper in Delhi. Prasad lived with his family — his wife, two sons aged 10 and 8, and a three-year-old daughter — in East Delhi’s Shakarpur School Block. Police said he’d also employed a 24*7 helper, Luv Kumar, paying him Rs 350 a month, a substantial amount at the time. On that evening of October 19, Prasad, along with two aides, allegedly smashed his wife’s head and face with a brick — he suspected she was having an affair. His three children lay sleeping in …

When Khajan Singh Tokas stepped onto the starting block for the men’s 200m butterfly at the 1986 Seoul Asian Games, he carried the weight of a 35-year wait. Just over two minutes later he had rewritten Indian swimming history. For a brief moment, the arena seemed to fall away. He became the first Indian swimmer since 1951 and seventh overall to make the podium. “I remember after winning the medal I was so happy. After a gap of 35 years, I got a medal for India, a silver medal,” Khajan Singh told The Bridge on Wednesday. Putting his nostalgia into words, Khajan goes back to the quiet confidence that began building long before the final dive. A strong swim in the heats had already given him the confidence that a medal was possible. “When I swam my heat in the morning and qualified for lane 5, I was very sure in the evening that a medal was there. But whether it is gold, silver, or bronze that depends on the final swim,” the now 62-year-old …
