VIDEO | PTI Exclusive: Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali says, "Kareena Kapoor is a very instinctive actor. She is a director's delight. She has no process and one has to be careful in directing her because she doesn't take time to process at all. Whatever one tells her to do, she does it quickly and does it with full force. So I had to actually find ways of restraining her, holding her back, so to speak, and making sure that I don't miscommunicate with her ever. Because if I tell her something wrong, she will do that something wrong. And she will do it with so much force and vigor that it will be difficult to then bring her back to zero and start again."

VIDEO | Saint Petersburg, Russia: When asked about the evolving dynamics between Moscow and New Delhi while the world is watching very closely as he would be travelling to India for BRICS Summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin told PTI CEO and Editor-in-Chief Vijay Joshi:

"You gave the description yourself and it is true, we enjoy special privileged strategic partnership, that is how I characterise this relationship, it did not occur yesterday or 1 or 5 years ago, this is something we have been working upon for decades, back in 1947, when the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations with Indian Republic, we have been doing everything to support the establishment of a new state, a new independent state, I'm glad to say that, thanks to the hard work and the talent of the Indian people, India has made great, and important achievements in its development. All those gathered here must know that India is one of the leading economies of the world, that shows the highest rate of economic growth, this is the result of hard work that the government has been doing under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi... This rate of development has been demonstrated by India while the strategies are implemented, formulated by Modi, as the head of the government of India. We are engaged in a lot of joint efforts, we hope that in upcoming years, we will reach USD 100 billion in mutual trade... We have all the foundations to work more actively and to reach more ambitious goals, and we are not only talking about our plans in energy, including nuclear energy, new platforms will emerge... We have one of the largest investment projects into the Indian economy... Everyone knows that India is very active in pharmaceutical industry, and our economic operators are ready to propose a lot of interesting projects... We have already outlined long perspective plans that are of interest both for India and Russia."

Responding to the question of India-Russia relations in the redrawn geopolitical landscape, Russian President Vladimir Putin told, "I don't think this is a case. We are glad that India is developing its relations with all the countries, it's a great country, a large economy, the largest democracy, it is only natural that it develops economy in accordance with its interest with those countries that it deems necessary. Another thing is the US is trying to put pressure on India in some matters, for example, when it comes to cooperation with Russia. Everyone understands that putting pressure on Narendra Modi is detrimental for international relations, and for bilateral relations, doesn't matter from where this pressure comes from. We don't see any negative consequences... As of today, no serious repercussions emanating from the state of affairs, we are developing our ties with India, we deem India to be a reliable partner."

❗️'Seeing Is No Longer Believing' - PTI Editor-in-Chief, Vijay Joshi, On AI At SPIEF

While it is one of the greatest human inventions, he says, even someone with basic knowledge of computers can now easily create fakes, meaning video is now not the ultimate form of evidence.

It was an honour to be invited to the lunch hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in honour of visiting President of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides at Hyderabad House in New Delhi on May 22.

When I joined @PTI_News , a senior told us "This organisation is the heartbeat of every newspaper in the country." Decades later, we aren't just the pulse of traditional print, we are the heartbeat of social media feeds too.
A recent story on @PTI_News by me was as shocking as well as hilarious. A trained #Lashkar-e-Taiba operative pushed across the LoC by handlers in Pakistan/PoK to disrupt peace in the Valley. Instead of executing plots, he vanishes into the city to get... a cosmetic #hair transplant.
Investigating vanity over violence in an active conflict zone was a revelation. Behind this headline lies the silent grit of the @JmuKmrPolice especially the @SrinagarPolice , who burnt the midnight oil tracking his footprints before the case moved to the @NIA_India to unravel the wider network.
The response to this story has been overwhelming, with readers sharing brilliant digital artwork of the "vanity terrorist." We write the words, police and central security agencies protect the lines.

EXCLUSIVE | Axis My India Chairman Pradeep Gupta’s Full Video Interview @PTI_News

WATCH: https://t.co/0VCsUYRavn

Pollster Pradeep Gupta, during an exclusive interview with PTI CEO & Editor-in-Chief Vijay Joshi, said that the BJP’s current phase of political dominance, which began in 2014, is likely to last “at least 20 years.”

The Axis My India chief argued that the ruling party's position would remain secure as long as its governance performance does not weaken significantly. Drawing a parallel with the long period of dominance once enjoyed by the Congress, Gupta suggested that Indian politics was witnessing another cycle of one-party predominance.

VIDEO | When asked how minorities can be assured that they are safe in India and that references to a ‘Hindu nation’ are meant in a cultural, not religious, sense, RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, in an exclusive interview with PTI, says, “Are Muslims treated as second-class citizens in India? Are government schemes not reaching them? We have continuous dialogues with leaders of the minority community. We believe that a change of religion has not changed our nationality. When the nationality is one, we do not consider them as different. We are not creating a Hindu nation; this is a Hindu nation. When there was British Raj (rule) here, then also it was a Hindu nation.”

VIDEO | When asked how India should deal with Pakistan, RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, in an exclusive interview with PTI, says, "...If Pakistan is like a pinprick trying to create incidents like Pulwama, etc., we have to answer appropriately according to the situation because the security and self-respect of a country and nation have to be protected, and the government of the day should take note of it and take care of it. But at the same time, we should not close the doors. We should always be ready to engage in dialogue. That is why diplomatic relations are maintained, trade and commerce continue, and visas are being given. So we should not stop these, because there should always be a window for dialogue."

When asked if sporting events should continue, Hosabale says, "Of course, they can continue..."

VIDEO | When asked about Indian diaspora being divided along regional, language, caste lines, RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, in an exclusive interview with PTI, says, "In India also, this needs to be corrected. Indian diaspora have definitely made a mark... The thing is, the best thing about Hindu community is, they have not become a headache, they've mingled with... Individually, they have been successful, but are we successful community-wise? I have immense hope in our people... There are many organisations in the USA. The Swayamsevaks of RSS from India, they have created a Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh, when they come to Sangh Shakha, so the differences are disappearing. One more thing, we should learn to working together separately, I have stressed upon it... This is being well received, they are trying to do it... The membership is reaching around half-a-million people... They are independent organisation. But there is a connect."
