At the show’s launch event, the show’s host and producer Karan Johar also took a dig at Ekta Kapoor and her show Lock Upp Sach Ya Sazaa. Karan Johar’s dig at Ekta Kapoor While speaking about returning as the host of The Traitors Season 2, Karan Johar took a dig at the winners of other reality shows, suggesting that their victories are often rigged. Karan said, “This season I won’t be forgiving, but more ruthless. And we will never ever forget to be entertaining. It’s the modus operandi for any popular show. I am proud that Traitors is in its second season. If there is a season 2, it only says how popular season 1 must have been.” He further added, “Last season shocked, surprised, appalled, and even terrified me. I saw the level of betrayal, attack, manipulation, and strategy that I was not expecting. At one point it …

Squash won’t just win India medals; it will set a benchmark

Squash won’t just win India medals; it will set a benchmark

Published by Webster

The Commonwealth Games are underway, and over the last few weeks, as the multi-sport event gathered momentum amid the political unrest in our country, I’ve been asked the same questions repeatedly: How’s the preparation going? When do you fly to Glasgow? Shouldn’t you already be there? There’s nothing wrong with those questions, but they sting a little. While I’m excited to watch some non-cricket sport unfold finally, I can’t help but feel the disappointment of not having my sport in the mix this time around. In Indian sport, there are two major multi-sport cycles: the Asian Games/Commonwealth Games cycle and the Olympic cycle. Each comes around once every four years. How squash got squeezed out The Commonwealth Games Federation hasn’t been particularly vocal about it, but Glasgow 2026 was never meant to host these Games. Victoria, Australia, was originally awarded the event before pulling out in 2023 over spiralling costs. Malaysia was next in line but also declined, leaving Glasgow to step in and salvage the edition. To make the financial package work, organisers trimmed …

India’s hockey team goes saffron: ‘It’s tamasha, won’t be inspired to watch team’ | Hockey News

4 min readMumbaiJul 30, 2026 01:57 PM IST Since 1928, the Indian hockey team has strutted out on the field in different shades of blue or white almost every time at a major tournament. That will change next month. When star drag-flicker Harmanpreet Singh and Salima Tete lead out the men’s and women’s teams for the World Cup, starting August 15, the players will swap the iconic blue jersey that has defined the national side for decades for a striking saffron strip. The change, confirmed by Hockey India ahead of the Games, marks one of the most significant visual shifts in the team’s history. While the governing body said that the ‘primary consideration was technical’ – the blue uniform blended with the blue turf – the move has received widespread backlash. “I am not inspired when I look at this jersey,” Vasudevan Baskaran, who was India’s captain when the team won the gold medal at the 1980 Olympics, told The Indian Express. “Since 1928, great Indian players have worn the blue shirts. Suddenly, what is …

Amit Rai on Why Oh My Dog Was Postponed When asked about pushing the release date of his film Ohh My Dog, he shared, “We made a practical decision because the screens will get occupied with Spider Man. Already Odyssey has taken over the theatres, and Dhamaal 4 is also screening in two shows. So, our base is a family audience and it will be scattered in all these films, a big chunk …
