Hunar Hali opens up on divorce from Mayank Gandhi: ‘I no longer felt like myself’ | Television News

4 min readNew DelhiJun 11, 2026 08:41 PM IST Television actor Hunar Hali has opened up about the end of her marriage to actor and reality TV personality Mayank Gandhi. The couple, who tied the knot in 2016, were granted a divorce on June 9, nearly nine months after Hunar filed for separation in September 2025. Speaking about the difficult phase in an interview with The Times of India, Hunar described the decision to part ways as one of the most emotionally challenging choices she has ever made. ‘The hardest part was realising I no longer felt like myself’ Hunar Hali said divorce is about much more than ending a relationship. It also means letting go of shared dreams, plans and a future once imagined together. “You are not just letting go of a person, you are letting go of dreams, plans, memories and a future you once believed would be yours,” she told The Times of India. The actor admitted that for a long time she believed things would improve if she tried harder …

Seam, speed, swing — how Shami, Mayank and Prince are building LSG’s pace pack | Cricket News

Seam, speed, swing — how Shami, Mayank and Prince are building LSG’s pace pack | Cricket News

Three bowlers. One powerplay. The seam, the speed, the swing – each doing a different job, each doing it well. LSG may not be winning. The same can’t be said about the pace pack. Mohammed Shami took the new ball in RCB’s chase. The ball angled in, straightened off the deck; Bethell swung across the line. Prince Yadav held the catch at deep backward point. In the second over, seam-up again, Patidar beaten outside off. “Jis din main bore ho jaaunga – us din main cricket chhod dunga,” (I will quit the day I am bored). Shami had said on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel a few weeks before this game. “Records uthake dekh lijiye. IPL mein bhi Indian bowlers ke aaspaas ho koi — phir bhi log kehte hain main T20 ka bowler nahi hoon.” (You can check the records – there may not be many Indian bowlers close to me, yet they say I am not a T20 bowler). The ball still does what he asks it to. He has taken four wickets in …

‘To see negative comments about Mayank Yadav horrifying’: Ian Bishop | Cricket News

2 min readApr 23, 2026 08:45 PM IST Former West Indies pacer and current commentator Ian Bishop said that the negative comments targeted at Lucknow Super Giants speedster Mayank Yadav was absolutely horrifying, adding that the 21-year-old had almost lost his career due to the injury he had suffered which kept him out of majority of last season. Yadav played his first match of the 2026 season on Wednesday against the Rajasthan Royals but went wicket-less, conceding 56 runs in four overs including 20 off the last over. Rajasthan ultimately posted 159/6 and then restricted Lucknow to 119, winning by 40 runs. “To see negative comments about Mayank Yadav today is horrifying. The kid nearly lost his career & livelihood at 21yrs. Just to see him play again is huge boost. The fact that he clocked 150kph again is a miracle. At 23yrs just pray for him that he stays fit. The control will come,” Bishop posted on X on Thursday. To see negative comments about Mayank Yadav today is horrifying. The kid nearly lost …

The homecoming scenes of history-making grandmaster Mayank Chakraborty say so much about the pursuit of success

5 min readMumbaiMar 24, 2026 11:33 PM IST In a year where Indian chess has not had too much to celebrate so far from the usual quarters, heartening scenes were witnessed at Guwahati airport last week. In a video that has now gone viral on social media, Mayank Chakraborty, fresh from becoming India’s 94th grandmaster, can be seen being received by a large welcoming party at the airport. The throng of friends and relatives cover him with way too many marigold garlands and place not one but two traditional Assamese japi hats on the 16-year-old’s head as drumbeats mark his arrival at the airport. The celebrations continue with the entourage accompanying the teenager and his mother all the way to their residence. It’s a welcome fit for a history-maker. Indian chess has seen similar scenes when Gukesh returned to Chennai after becoming the youngest world champion in chess history in December 2024 and when Divya Deshmukh went home to Nagpur after winning the FIDE World Cup, thus becoming a grandmaster and earning a spot at …

How ‘teacher-like’ Bumrah bhaiyya helped Mayank Yadav recover from career-threatening injuries and surgery

How ‘teacher-like’ Bumrah bhaiyya helped Mayank Yadav recover from career-threatening injuries and surgery

3 min readUpdated: Mar 23, 2026 10:16 PM IST Express Indian pacer Mayank Yadav opened up about his interactions with star Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah, whose tips helped him during his rehabilitation following a string of career-threatening injuries and subsequent surgery. “Everything has changed for me post-surgery. Earlier, I never used to take care of myself. Whenever I had to do a recovery session, I used to avoid it and neglect many aspects,” Mayank told JioStar’s ‘IPL Today Live’. “But after the surgery, I paid a lot of attention to recovery, nutrition and sleep. The more I respect my body, the more my body respects me on the field.” “When I was in rehab at the NCA, Bumrah bhaiyya was also there. I have a very good bonding with him. He is like a teacher to me. He also had the same surgery, the same scenario,” he said.

Guwahati teenager Mayank Chakraborty overcomes obstacles to script chess history for the Northeast | Chess News

Guwahati teenager Mayank Chakraborty overcomes obstacles to script chess history for the Northeast | Chess News

On a day her 16-year-old son, Mayank, became the first grandmaster from Northeast India, Monomita Chakraborty can’t help but think how much sooner he could have reached there if it hadn’t been for the almost 20 months he lost to the COVID-19 pandemic, during which he played in no events. Or many of the other challenges that he’s had to surmount. The Guwahati boy’s road to becoming India’s 94th grandmaster has passed through many checkpoints: he’s barely had any sponsors, he’s received coaching from grandmasters only in little spurts, and trying to compete in a tournament in India while living in Guwahati sometimes demands as much travel time as flying to the UAE for a competition. But all through it, Mayank has chased his dream of becoming a grandmaster. On Saturday, not only did he become a grandmaster, but he also did it by winning the Hotel Stockholm North by First Hotels Young Talents event in Sweden. “When there was COVID, there was a total halt of chess activities for almost two years for him. …

Mayank Agarwal’s fighting hundred keeps Karnataka in fight after J&K pacer Auqib Nabi runs through top order

Mayank Agarwal’s fighting hundred keeps Karnataka in fight after J&K pacer Auqib Nabi runs through top order

Mayank Agarwal slashed and charged with such rasping effect on Thursday that it wound the clock back to a merrier season when he was buzzing in the India shirt on home pitches. Those were typical Indian turners, in late 2019, that demanded nimble feet and malleable wrists in tandem. A slow deck in the Ranji Trophy final did not. But the horrors that Jammu and Kashmir talisman Auqib Nabi unleashed on his opening partner KL Rahul prompted the out-of-favour India opener to deploy his typical fallback options. Agarwal’s form was wavering – averaging below 35 in nine games this season – and it has been only weeks since the 35-year-old lost the captaincy to young Devdutt Padikkal. Agarwal went busy, making runs the way he used to for India seven years ago, as his 21st First-Class hundred was vital for Karnataka, who finished Day 3 on 220/5, still trailing J&K by 364. The unbeaten 130 was a knock expected from a senior statesman when the chips were down. Agarwal’s top-order mates — who have frequented …
