3 min readUpdated: Jun 7, 2026 07:40 PM IST A DAILY 6.30 am share trading tutorial from a “market guru”; regular updates on “high return” stocks – these were among the deceptive features of a fraudulent WhatsApp group and share trading application through which a 46-year-old IT professional was cheated to the tune of Rs 4.43 crore in a span of two weeks. An FIR in the case was registered at Cyber crime police station of Pimpri Chinchwad police by the 46-year-old man, a resident of Pimple Saudagar. A few weeks ago, the complainant was added to a WhatsApp group after clicking a social media post. According to police, the group appeared to function like a routine stock market advisory forum and had the name of a London-headquartered international banking major to gain trust of the victims. Members were provided daily online tutorials at 6.30 am, investment tips, and recommendations on stocks from an administrator who identified herself as Maira and expert “market guru”.

4 min readNew DelhiMay 22, 2026 04:43 PM IST Actor Aarya Babbar may have worked with some of Indian cinema’s biggest filmmakers, from Mani Ratnam and Farah Khan to Vishal Bhardwaj, but he didn’t get commercial success. Looking back at his career, Aarya shared why several of his films failed despite collaborating with acclaimed directors. He also opened up about working on Guru and witnessing the early romance between Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Aarya made his acting debut with Ab Ke Baras in 2002 and later appeared in films like Tees Maar Khan, Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola and Guru. In a conversation with Vickey Lalwani, Aarya said film failures are not always in an actor’s control. “If a film doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. There is nothing you can do about it. A filmmaker has a vision, and sometimes the audience at that time does not connect with that vision. Sometimes, audiences begin appreciating a film years later. I did Tees Maar Khan with Farah Khan ji. The film did not work …

After Vaishali’s Candidates win, her guru RB Ramesh warns: ‘She can do even better’ | Chess News

Barely two days after Vaishali Rameshbabu secured the right to challenge Ju Wenjun at the Women’s World Championship, her long-time guru RB Ramesh has an assessment about the Indian prodigy that should worry the rest of the world: she’s not realised her full potential yet. Far from it! “Chess-wise, I would still say both Praggnanandhaa and Vaishali have not shown all their strength on the board,” Ramesh tells The Indian Express from Cyprus where he rushed after Vaishali’s title was confirmed. “The feeling I always have is that they could still do better. There are still some parts of them that have not realized themselves what they are capable of. So that is something I’m waiting to see.” Vaishali entered the Candidates as the lowest rated player in the eight-woman field, and despite winning the event in a thrilling photo-finish in the final round, she still leaves Cyprus as the lowest-rated player. As she has highlighted in multiple conversations since winning the Candidates, the past two years have seen her experience some wretched form which …

4 min readUpdated: Apr 16, 2026 11:54 PM IST With a ticket to the Women’s World Chess Championship secured, Vaishali Rameshbabu revealed that it does take a small village (of grandmasters) to raise a challenger worthy of winning the Candidates. They helped her in small ways and big to become the first Indian woman in 15 years to get a direct shot at being the queen of 64 squares. This isn’t her team of seconds that helped her with matters on the board — their names she would keep close to her chest until the World Championship contest against Ju Wenjun is over. One of the stalwarts who helped Vaishali win the Candidates is five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand, who selected Vaishali as part of the first cohort of players at his Westbridge Anand Chess Academy and has since been a mentor to her. It was Anand who urged her to work with Sandipan Chanda, another grandmaster. Their partnership was in place until before the Candidates. Then there was RB Ramesh, the grandmaster who wields …

The Punjab Cabinet led by CM Bhagwant Mann announces life imprisonment against sacrilege.

Sitarist Rishab Rikhiram Sharma has frequently been called as the last and youngest disciple of legendary musician Pandit Ravi Shankar – a claim he has also referenced in past interviews while speaking about his musical journey. However, Anoushka Shankar has now clarified that he was never formally a disciple of her father. In a recent conversation with Humans Of Bombay, Anushka spoke about sitar and its growing reach across audiences. “I think it’s really wonderful to see the sitar brought into its horizon the way it has, whether that’s within India or abroad. Having lots of people taking it forward is a wonderful thing. I think anyone who can challenge the notion of sitar just belonging to a certain way or certain space — all of that is wonderful.” Anoushka says Rishab is not his father’s disciple Anoushka praised Rishab’s talent but addressed what she described as a misunderstanding surrounding his musical lineage. “Rishab is really talented and he is clearly speaking to people in a really wonderful way. I think there is some misunderstanding …
