Surendra Pal asks Mukesh Khanna to rethink his views on Ranveer Singh as Shaktimaan: ‘He is very stubborn’

Published by Webster

Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna has been stirring conversation after opposing Ranveer Singh stepping into the iconic role of Shaktimaan. While his remarks have sparked debate among fans, his longtime co-star Surendra Pal has offered a contrasting take, suggesting that Mukesh may be holding on too tightly to his stance and should consider revisiting his views. Shaktimaan was a character created for TV in the 90s, and popularised by Mukesh Khanna in the iconic show. Surendra Pal on Ranveer as Shaktimaan Recently, Surendra appeared in a video on Sidharth Kannan’s YouTube Channel, where he opened up about his equation with Mukesh Khanna. During the conversation, he also addressed Mukesh’s recent remarks on why he thinks Ranveer might be the right fit to play Shaktimaan. Opening up about Mukesh’s reservations regarding Ranveer Singh being cast as Shaktimaan, Surendra said, “He is the best judge; it is his creation. He will naturally want the best for his character, which he treats like his own child even today. That is why he will not compromise. He is very stubborn. …

Saudi Arabia weighs LIV Golf exit as West Asia war forces sports investment rethink | Golf News

2 min readApr 16, 2026 12:03 PM IST Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund is reassessing its priorities under the strain of geopolitical tensions, with officials warning that the US-Israel war against Iran is adding pressure to rethink major investments — including the LIV Golf. According to the Financial Times, Yasir al-Rumayyan, governor of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), acknowledged that the conflict is forcing a shift in strategy, saying the war would “add more pressure to reposition some priorities.” The comments come as the nearly $1tn fund unveiled a new five-year plan aimed at tightening spending after a decade of aggressive global investments. If Saudi Arabia pulls back, it would mark a major setback not only for LIV but also for PIF’s broader sports investment strategy, which has made the kingdom a dominant force in global events from Formula 1 to the Fifa World Cup. Against this backdrop, PIF is now on the verge of scaling back — or even ending — its support for LIV Golf, the breakaway tour that ignited a bitter civil …

3 min readUpdated: Apr 13, 2026 09:10 AM IST Mumbai Indians’ indifferent start to the IPL 2026 season with three successive defeats, including a second straight loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Wankhede Stadium after a gap of 10 years, has left captain Hardik Pandya scrambling for answers. After getting thumped by Rajasthan Royals in an 11-over contest in Guwahati, MI’s bowlers came under the scanner yet again on Sunday night after defending champions RCB hammered a colossal 240 for four, their highest total at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Mumbai’s chase was worsened after an injury forced Rohit Sharma to retire hurt early on, while Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma failed to up the scoring rates. Despite a late blitz from Sherfane Rutherford and skipper Hardik, Mumbai fell short by 18 runs, meaning they have now lost three in succession starting with a defeat to Delhi Capitals away from home.

Daniil Medvedev calls for ranking rethink, says points system fuels exhausting calender | Tennis News

Published by Webster

3 min readFeb 25, 2026 04:41 PM IST Daniil Medvedev has called for a radical rethink of the ATP ranking structure, suggesting that only Grand Slams and Masters 1000 tournaments should offer ranking points in a bid to ease the burden on players navigating tennis’ near year-long calendar. Speaking on the demands of the tour, the former US Open Champion argued that the stripping smaller events of ranking points could naturally shorten the season and reduce the pressure on players to chase points across continents. “That’s the only way to make the tour shorter,” Medvedev said. “It’s never going to happen because there are licenses, and the ATP won’t have enough money to buy all of them. The other tournaments won’t say, ‘OK, we’re out’ because they would lose money. It’s business. Right now with how the ATP Tour is, it’s never going to change, at least while I’m playing.” Under current rules, top players are required to compete in the four Grand Slams and eight Masters 1000 events. From 2026 the rankings breakdown will …

His condition of health is certainly not very good and there are other age-related factors.” The Ladakh administration and the Union government were represented by Additional Solicitor General (ASG) K.M. Nataraj, who said that the government was equally concerned about Wangchuk’s health. As …

Eight consecutive sixes, an 11-ball half-century, a triple hundred in just over three hours, a 1,008-run innings lead, and a winning margin of 725 runs. Over the past seven years, hordes of First-Class world records have come tumbling down by lop-sided pairings in the expanded Ranji Trophy pool involving fledgling teams from the Northeast. For six years and 30 first-class matches, Akash Kumar Choudhary’s dreams were confined to the little-known cricketing world of Meghalaya, buried and beleaguered by defeats and more defeats. On Sunday, Akash vaulted over all of first-class cricket history spanning 250 years, etching a feat no man has ever achieved before in the game. A legendary band of Garry Sobers, Mike Procter, and Ravi Shastri were duly pulled down by Akash’s hour under the Surat skies. Going 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 against Arunachal Pradesh’s Limar Dabi and Hyderabad-born T N R Mohit, Meghalaya’s No. 8 bat became the first player to smash eight consecutive sixes in first-class cricket and break the record for the fastest-ever fifty in the …

I think we have to do a lot of different things and take the good things we’re doing in qualifying to build a squad. Everyone knows how difficult it is to play in this kit, but we have to improve, keep our heads up, because we’re Brazilians and we never give up. …

Has Varun Chakravarthy powered himself to earning a spot In the semifinal and maybe beyond? Ravi Shastri roared: “What he’s done is that he has put his hand up now for a spot in the semifinal in the playing XI, because the pitches will be the same, he has been outstanding tonight. Well more headaches for the think-tank and selectors.” With his figures of 5/42, Varun has almost definitely sealed his spot to take on the Aussies in Dubai on Tuesday. Earlier though amidst his flipper and top spinner variations, while aiming at the stumps, there was a tiny slice of luck. And he had Michael Gough to thank. When the English umpire gives a decision on field, rarely has it been overturned in recent times. But he made a rare mistake on Sunday in Dubai when he gave Michael Bracewell out LBW against Varun Chakravarthy. He got the tough part right, that the ball first hit the pad and not the bat. But Varun’s delivery was angling away and later, ball-tracking showed it was …
