4 min readMarwahi, SaktiJun 11, 2026 07:00 AM IST Sitting outdoors on a cot alongside the district collector and senior officials in Marwahi, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai listened as villagers queued up to air their grievances. There were complaints about erratic electricity supply and pending road projects. Some sought lift irrigation schemes, colleges and community halls. Members of a women’s self-help group requested support for securing a Geographical Indication (GI) tag for Vishnubhog, an organic rice variety grown in the region’s black soil.

Only 8 people attended star’s funeral after he went bankrupt; Amitabh Bachchan saw him ‘alone, forgotten’ in bus queue

The glamour associated with Bollywood attracts people from every strata of society as it is believed that if you make it in the movies, you will be swimming in riches; but, despite being the most successful star, one’s fortunes can turn overnight, and they can lose it all. And the same happened with the yesteryear star Bharat Bhushan, who was once considered the biggest star of the 1950s. Bharat Bhushan worked in films like Baiju Bawra, Barsaat Ki Raat, Mirza Ghalib, among many others, and while he made enough money that could have sustained him for a lifetime, he lost it all after making some bad monetary decisions. He had to sell all three of his bungalows in Bandra, one of which was the popular mansion named ‘Aashirvaad’, which was later owned by stars like Rajendra Kumar and Rajesh Khanna. Bharat Bhushan’s films continue to inspire Ranveer Singh Bharat made his debut in 1941 with a film called Chitralekha, but it was in the year 1952 that his star rose when he appeared in Baiju …

Indian Pharma’s ‘Sema’ Storm: Over 50 Semaglutide Brands Queue Up As Ozempic Patent Expires | Health and Fitness News

Last Updated:March 06, 2026, 07:30 IST From Semaglip, Sematop, Semakind to Semastrike, Semaglyn and Semaril, the pipeline of upcoming Ozempic copycats reads like variations of the semaglutide molecule itself Boxes of Ozempic and Wegovy made by Novo Nordisk are seen at a pharmacy. File pic/Reuters If there is one prefix that is likely to dominate prescriptions in India over the coming months, it may well be “Sema”. With key patents around semaglutide—the blockbuster molecule behind drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy—set to expire in India next week, Indian pharmaceutical companies are ready to introduce their own versions. Industry insiders say more than 50 brands are preparing for launch, and a curious pattern is emerging: most of them begin with the same four letters.

In fact, industry estimates suggest around 80–85 per cent of brands preparing for launch start with “Sema”, reflecting how companies anchor …
