Kicked off a new column for Financial Express called Bollywood Billionaires, where we track how film folk build real wealth, not just red carpet clout…
@EqualParenting3@IJaising Youd only understand if you’ve been there - it is near the canteen and usually because of overcrowding people have to stand in the corridor. The door is always open with everything visible inside. That’s why it is offensive.
Military stations at Jammu, Pathankot & Udhampur were targeted by Pakistani-origin #drones and missiles along the International Border in J&K today.
The threats were swiftly neutralised using kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities in line with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). No casualties or material losses were reported.
India remains fully prepared to defend its sovereignty and ensure the safety of its people.

And then just like that the Prime Minister tweets out a film made by me and beautifully scored by the phenomenally talented @tusharlall02 and so seamlessly produced by @priyankabans ♥️♥️♥️ #SOULLeadershipConclave !!!
Leadership is about duty and service.
@LeadWithSOUL will shape India’s next generation of leaders for a Viksit Bharat by blending aspects of ancient wisdom with modern governance.
The weight of grief bears down on me at the news of the passing of my honoured and cherished friend: Dr Manmohan Singh.
Obituaries, essays and books a plenty there will surely be about this great man, celebrating him as the architect of India’s economic reforms. As Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh was the midwife of India’s emergence as one of the world’s economic giants.
I had the rare privilege of witnessing the early years of these transformative policies first-hand while we both served as finance ministers during the 1990s. We shared a fervent commitment to the war against corruption — even collaborating on unravelling a major case.
The praise that will follow in the days ahead will be truly well-deserved. Dr Manmohan Singh, slightly awkward as a politician but undeniably upright, steadfast and resolute as a statesman, leaves behind a legacy that will inspire generations to come.
To me, he will be all that and much more. Not many people know this, and it is time that I share it with Malaysians: during the years of my incarceration, he extended a kindness that he didn’t have to — one that was neither politically expedient nor, as one can imagine, appreciated by the Malaysian government at that time. Yet, true to his character, he did it anyway. He offered scholarships for my children, particularly my son, Ihsan. Although I had declined the gracious offer, such a gesture undoubtedly showed his extraordinary humanity and generosity, demonstrative, as the Bard would have it, of a man so full of “the milk of human kindness”.
In those dark days, as I navigated the labyrinth of imprisonment, he stood by me as a true friend. Such acts of quiet magnanimity defined him, and they will remain etched in my heart forever.
Goodbye, my mitra, my bhai, Manmohan.

Media outlets reporting on E&Y, please outrage over the toxic work culture at consulting firms - but please also look inwards on how media organisations have toxic bosses and a terrible work culture.
It is garbage.
Wasn’t there a call for bulldozers and pellet guns in Kashmir? Weren’t those things justified by all and sundry? So, I suppose Kolkata should implement it too? Stone pelting is stone pelting, Kashmir ya Kanyakumari? No?

#WATCH | PM Narendra Modi says, "...I would like to express my pain once again, from the Red Fort today. As a society, we will have to think seriously about the atrocities against women that are happening - there is outrage against this in the country. I can feel this outrage. The country, society, State Governments will have to take this seriously. Speedy investigation of crimes against women, those executing these monstrous deeds be awarded strict punishment at the earliest - this is important to instil confidence in society. I would also like to say that when rapes and incidents of atrocities on women occur, it is widely discussed. But when a person of such monstrous tendency is punished, it is not seen in news, but restricted to a corner. It is the need of the hour, that extensive discussion on those receiving punishment be held so that those committing this sin understand that this leads to hanging. I think it is very important to instil this fear."
