Bhagyashri Borse was bullied in Nigeria for not knowing English: ‘Transition was brutal’ | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readHyderabadJul 15, 2026 06:12 PM IST Actor Bhagyashri Borse, who is riding high on the success of her Telugu debut Lenin, reminisced about being bullied as a child after her family relocated to Nigeria, revealing that it was the cruelty of other Indian kids that eventually pushed her to master English. During an interaction with college students in Honest Town Hall, Bhagyashri was asked by a student how she dealt with bullying, particularly around accents and confidence. “I grew up in a Marathi-medium school in my hometown of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar and only spoke Marathi and Hindi. When my father got a job opportunity in Nigeria, we moved abroad. But the transition was brutal.” She recounted. “I didn’t know English at all then. Only knew Marathi, only knew Hindi, and all these NRI kids who are Indian kids around me were like, how does she not know English? So obviously, the bullying started,” Bhagyashri said. “I was very innocent. It was just because I didn’t know the language.” Also Read: ‘Please give me …

No transition in sight as India back T20 World Cup core

No transition in sight as India back T20 World Cup core

Published by Webster

The first squad announcement after a disappointing ICC tournament usually offers clues about where a team is headed. Sometimes it marks the beginning of a rebuild. Sometimes it rewards domestic performers. Sometimes it signals that the next cycle has begun. India’s squad for the Asian Games in Japan does none of that. Barely two days after crashing out in the group stage of the Women’s T20 World Cup, the selectors have retained virtually the entire squad. The only change sees wicketkeeper G. Kamalini replace Yastika Bhatia, while Harmanpreet Kaur remains captain and Smriti Mandhana vice-captain. The message is clear: despite another underwhelming ICC campaign, the management continues to back the same core. There is nothing inherently wrong with that. Successful teams do not rip up their plans after every setback. Australia, for instance, have often resisted the temptation to make wholesale changes after a poor tournament because they trust proven players to respond. The difference is that Australia’s core has consistently repaid that faith. India have repeatedly flattered to deceive on the biggest stage. ALSO …

Kerala Budget: State set to make a transition from welfare-centric to knowledge-driven economy

Kerala Budget: State set to make a transition from welfare-centric to knowledge-driven economy

Published by Parlour News

The Revised Budget for 2026-27 carries a clear and ambitious message: Kerala intends to transition from a welfare-dependent economy to a knowledge-driven, enterprise-led growth model. This direction is particularly significant for entrepreneurs, start-ups, and the MSME community. The Budget proposes to establish 10,000 new Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises across the State, backed by an allocation of ₹100 crore. This is not a token gesture; it is a recognition that MSMEs are the backbone of Kerala’s real economy, the largest employer outside government, and the most accessible pathway to entrepreneurship for first-generation business owners. If implemented effectively, this initiative can create substantial employment opportunities and broaden the State’s entrepreneurial base. The Knowledge Valley vision has the potential to redefine Kerala’s identity. The government plans to develop Kerala into a Knowledge Valley with the objective of making the State a preferred destination for higher education, including through special legislation to attract leading foreign universities and collaborations with premier institutions. For the start-up ecosystem, this is particularly important. Access to world-class research, global faculty, and international student …

Gullak S5 Trailer Review: Mishra Family Isn’t Looking The Same Some shows don’t just entertain you, they become a part of your home. Gullak S5 is back, and it is time for that yearly reunion. The trailer of the show has arrived, and amidst the middle-class musings and the random chaos, something looks off! The family does not look the same anymore! Of course, Vaibhav Raj Gupta’s exit as Annu Mishra and Anant Joshi replacing him are major factors, and I am not sure if the audience will accept this transition! No doubt, Anant Joshi is a great actor, but will he fill the shoes of Annu Mishra? I mean, will – Areeey, aapko nahi pata sound the same, is a doubt I have! Anyway, coming back to the trailer, it is a regular progression and transition! Annu Mishra is struggling to provide for his family and is in love. His brother, Aman Mishra, seems to have cracked a way to find fame online! Jameel Khan and Geetanjali Kulkarni’s Santosh and Shanti Mishra are looking …

Sharavathi Hydroelectric Project: The cost of energy transition

Sharavathi Hydroelectric Project: The cost of energy transition

Published by Parlour News

A group of environmentalists had moved the Karnataka High Court, challenging the State Wildlife Board’s approval for a pumped storage hydroelectric project in the Sharavathi Lion-Tailed Macaque Wildlife Sanctuary, which is part of the Western Ghats, and a biodiversity hotspot. File | Photo Credit: The Hindu The Karnataka High Court, earlier this month, directed the State government to stop work in the forest area for the Sharavathi Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project, until further orders. A group of environmentalists had moved the Court, challenging the State Wildlife Board’s approval for the proposed project in the Sharavathi Lion-Tailed Macaque Wildlife Sanctuary which is part of the Western Ghats, and a biodiversity hotspot. The Court’s order boosted the morale of the environmentalists, who have been opposing the project since it was proposed in 2017. The Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) proposed the project in the valley of the Sharavathi river, which flows for about 130 km through the Western Ghats before reaching the Arabian sea. The river is already the State’s primary hydel power source, with four major power stations operating in its valley. The KPCL aims to generate 2,000 MW through …

Amid transition and turbulence, India’s hockey team finds reasons for hope after a resilient Australia tour | Hockey News

Amid transition and turbulence, India’s hockey team finds reasons for hope after a resilient Australia tour | Hockey News

Published by Webster

It’s a funny thing, is confidence. The other day, India looked like strangers on the pitch, fumbling passes, missing shots, and misjudging every save. On Wednesday, they were a different team: rugby-tackling the Australians, returning their aggression in kind, and flashing glimpses of the old flair. After losing all four games in the home leg of the hockey Pro League, India finished the Australian tour with a third-straight draw, a 1-1 scoreline. Mohith HS’s heroic goalkeeping in the penalty shootouts, that India aced 3-1, where he made three sharp saves, ensured India ended the first half of the competition with a bonus point. Rourkela was about surrender. Belgium and Argentina exposed India’s frailties. But Down Under, against Spain and Australia, resilience resurfaced — and with it, a reminder that there is no need to panic. Not yet. India’s transition was never going to be seamless — not when it began later than it should have. Younger legs and new ideas are essential. Discussions around phasing out senior players first took place in October 2024, barely …

In a season of transition, promising drag-flicker Amandeep Lakra steps into focus

Published by Webster

A crack drag-flicker, Amandeep Lakra, among the most exciting prospects to emerge in a while. A strapping 22-year-old striker, Araijeet Singh Hundal, returning from injury. Two attack-minded midfielders, Manmeet Singh and Rosan Kujur, riding the high of a Junior World Cup medal. L’affaire Manpreet Singh has overshadowed India’s build-up to a new season. The former captain’s omission from the squad was the biggest talking point, dominating headlines and debate alike. What got lost in the noise were the names that were actually picked in the Pro League squad — the fresh faces, the returning bodies, and the quiet signals of a transition underway. As India turn the page, attention must shift from who isn’t there to what lies ahead. India’s 2026 — a year that holds both the World Cup and the Asian Games — begins in the familiar surroundings of Rourkela against mighty Belgium on Tuesday. The resonance of this FIH Pro League match and, later in the week, the game against Argentina, will go beyond the scoreline. For head coach Craig Fulton, the four …

Shah Rukh, Aamir, Salman need to transition to age-appropriate roles, says Imran Khan: ‘Youngsters connect to people closer to their age’ | Bollywood News

Published by Webster

3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: Feb 7, 2026 11:17 AM IST For over three decades, actors have come and gone, but the Khans—Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir—have remained a constant in Hindi cinema. There was a time when audiences watched their films almost unquestioningly, driven purely by star association. That equation, however, has changed. Today, viewers are far more blunt in their rejection if a film fails to resonate, regardless of the star power attached to it. Actor Imran Khan, nephew of Aamir Khan, believes it is high time actors of that generation acknowledge their age and transition into roles that align with where they are in life. “You cannot be playing the lead after a certain age,” he said. Speaking to SHOWSHA, when he was asked about the Khans, Imran shared, “As a leading man, actors also start to age out. There are certain years where you can work as a leading man, and then there comes an age where you are not able to play those roles. All three Khans are well into their …

Pitchamon Opatniputh has made a mark immediately in seniors reaching the final of the Indonesia Super 500 event impressively, at a record 19 years 21 days. The Thai with an impressively smooth and technical game and good power in her strokes, had beaten Indian Tanvi Sharma just last October, and has quickly transitioned to seniors. Opatniputh defeated Letshanaa Karupathevan 21-15, 21-17 and will play former Olympic champ Chen Yufei in the finals. Indonesia has seen the emergence of a young brigade take centrestage, with 5 finalists under 21 years of age in the Indonesia final. Opatniputh had shown technical finesse in dismantling the game of promising Indian Junior Tanvi Sharma, just 17, at Guwahati while taking the juniors crown, and has maintained her levels and shown fine temperament all this week, accounting for senior players. Thailand seems to have the best crop of graduated juniors with Panitchapon Teeraratsakul, 21, making men’s singles final, after beating former world champ in seniors Loh Kean Yew in straight sets. The Class of 2023 seems to have stepped up, …
