‘Salman Khan sat through my standing ovation, then offered me Jai Ho’: Yash Tonk | Bollywood News

5 min readMumbaiJun 3, 2026 12:19 PM IST Actor Yash Tonk has been in the industry for over two and a half decades now. While he has been a celebrated name in the Indian TV circuit, Yash actually started his career in the movies. In fact, for a long time, Yash also juggled films and TV shows; however, his career didn’t quite take off on the big screen. His last outing on the big screen was in 2019 in Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika. Recently, in a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Yash revisited his films and also spoke about the amazing bond he shares with Salman Khan. Yash Tonk on Fight Club’s failure During the conversation, the Kahin Kissi Roz actor said that he was always unhinged about the TV actor tag. Even when his films didn’t work, he was reminded that he was predominantly a small-screen actor. Recalling one such criticism after his 2006 film Fight Club failed, Yash said, “Everybody has their opinion; you cannot make everyone happy.” Also Read: Maatrubhumi gets first review: Subhash …

From standing knee-deep in sand as a child to India’s fastest quarter-miler | Sport-others News

4 min readRanchiMay 26, 2026 06:49 AM IST Thirteen years back, when Thennarasu took his son, Vishal T K, to a stadium in Jolarpet town in Tamil Nadu, it wasn’t to make him a runner. His son had trouble walking since he was born with knock knees. Thennarasu, a dairy farmer who had played football for the state, had heard that burying his child’s legs knee-deep in the long jump pit could help straighten them. When at the stadium, after his daily stand-pit ritual, Vishal would sit and watch long-distance runners. Then one day, he joined them and thus began his track and field journey. On Saturday in Ranchi, Vishal, 23, crossed the 400m finish line in 44.98 seconds — the first Indian in history to go below 45. Thennarasu raced onto the track and the two embraced. “What I felt after he crossed the finish line can’t be expressed in words,” Thennarasu said. “Not even in my dreams.” He paused. “But when he started progressing and doing well, I could see he had a …

If KL Rahul can evolve, why can’t Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant? 67-ball 152* lays bare cost of standing still in T20s

If KL Rahul can evolve, why can’t Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant? 67-ball 152* lays bare cost of standing still in T20s

It was hot, as expected in New Delhi, and the exhaustion was visible not just in the cricketers at the Arun Jaitley Stadium but also among the spectators in the stands. But KL Rahul had other plans, giving Indian cricket a masterclass it didn’t know it needed. It was a statement to the selectors, his critics and fans that if he can evolve as a batter in T20 cricket, so can Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. Unlike Rahul, both Gill and Pant have failed to impress this season and have been on the receiving end of constant criticism. KL Rahul’s evolution could become a source of motivation for Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. Rahul was a man on a mission against Punjab Kings on Saturday. But in a cricket match, you also need your teammates to contribute as it’s a collective effort. Rahul had to learn it the hard way as Delhi Capitals were left shellshocked at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, crashing to a six-wicket defeat. Everything seemed to be going DC’s way in the …

Over his three-decade career, Tom Cruise has tried his hand at a variety of roles, from a renegade aviator in Top Gun to a serial killer in Collateral, and of course, a spy in the Mission Impossible series. But his charm and looks have accompanied him into each role. However, his next, Digger, is set to change that.

Ayush Shetty lone Indian standing in quarters

India’s campaign at the 2026 Badminton Asia Championships unravelled spectacularly on Thursday with only Ayush Shetty advancing to the quarter-finals. The likes of PV Sindhu, HS Prannoy, Unnati Hooda, Dhruv Kapila-Tanisha Crasto, and Priya Konjengbam-Shruti Mishra all lost their respective matches in straight games to exit from the Round of 16. Shetty, up against a higher ranked Chi Yu Jen of Chinese Taipei, registered a 21-16, 21-12 win. The Indian was never in any real trouble as he wrapped up the contest in 41 minutes to reach the men’s singles final eight on his debut at the continental championships.
