Is Baar Abki Take our poll on the Lok Sabha elections to learn more about the sentiment of the country.

With every stage of the big Indian democracy festival coming to an end and the finish line nearly in sight, the nation's most crucial question is becoming more and more relevant with each day: What will happen on June 4?The India poll storyline is dominated by a number of related talking topics and problems in addition to the fundamental question of who will win the big race. Is 400-paar merely electioneering speak, or is India really prepared to grant an outright majority to a single regime? Or, as some pollsters have predicted, will the Indian voter want a mandate change this time and try out a new political system?If the INDIA group is victorious and provides the nation with a credible long-term political option, will it be able to maintain its unity or will it crumble at the first sign of a coalition challenge due to conflicting interests and ideologies?Not to mention, would PM Modi be able to keep all of his much-vaunted promises in the event that the BJP wins? What matters more is who will be his deserving successor. The 2024 election will be one of the most closely followed in history, both domestically and internationally, because of some of these issues. The ET Online Elections Survey aims to address some of these important concerns and assess popular sentiment. However, the survey is only research-related and does not reflect a viewpoint.  

Twinkle Khanna is the familys brains; zyada padha nahi hu, main anpadh aadmi hu – Akshay Kumar

Recently, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar talked candidly about his family life, praising his wife Twinkle Khanna from the bottom of his heart and sharing stories about their time spent in London. Akshay talked about the sharp contrast between his work ethic and Twinkle's IQ, attributing Twinkle's brilliance to his daughter. Actress Twinkle Khanna, the daughter of Rajesh Khanna, is married to Akshay. The two children of the couple are Aarav and Nitaara.During a conversation with cricketer Shikhar Dhawan on Jio Cinema's Dhawan Karenge, Akshay said, "My daughter gets her intelligence from my wife, Twinkle." Zyada padha nahi hu, main to anpadh aadmi hu. "Wo dimaag wali hai, gadha mazdoori karta hu."The actor and the actress-turned-author Twinkle Khanna got married on January 17, 2001, and have been together for more than ten years. Akshay talked on Twinkle's intelligence and how fortunate he was to have married her in the debut episode of cricket player Shikhar Dhawan's chat show, Dhawan Karenge.Akshay complimented their 11-year-old daughter Nitara, saying that mom Twinkle is the source of her intelligence. "Zyada padha nahi hu, main to anpadh aadmi hu." Twinkle Khanna dimag wali hai, main gadha mazdoori karta hu. (I'm an uneducated man who hasn't done any studying. I work by hand, but she has the brain," Akshay reportedly said to Shikhar, according to a Pinkvilla article.  

A government agency in India invested millions in endorsing BJP election slogans.

The goal of the Central Bureau of Communication is to advance governmental initiatives. Rather than using catchphrases from Modi's party, the agency became the largest Google ad spender prior to the election.As the Indian election campaign got underway in November, a slogan created by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, began to acquire popularity.The governing party presented "Modi ki guarantee" (also known as "Modi's guarantee") as the widely popular prime minister's personal pledge to Indian voters in an effort to set itself apart from the opposition parties' obviously disorganized coalition. Using that phrase, the BJP started running Google ads in the third week of November.However, at the same time, a another organization began investing millions of rupees in a campaign that had a nearly identical name: "Modi sarkar ki guarantee" (the guarantee of the Modi government). Throughout the campaign's months-long run of videos, "Modi's guarantee" was frequently mentioned.In one such commercial, which aired on February 23, an actor who plays a young businessman tells a worried father, "Papa, there's Modi's guarantee," as a way to reassure him about his son's career decision. Modi ji has pledged to elevate India to the top among nations with the highest number of unicorn businesses. He states at the end with confidence that "every startup will start in India thanks to Modi's guarantee."These were the only ads that weren't from the BJP. They were a part of a campaign run by the Central Bureau of Communication (CBC), the advertising agency for the Indian government, and were funded by Indian taxpayers. At least one additional campaign mimicked the style and phrasing of the BJP's election slogans, releasing a number of advertisements in March. The biggest opposition party in the nation, the Indian National Congress, complained to the Election Commission of India (ECI), the constitutional body in charge of conducting the elections, on March 22. The complaint stated that these CBC commercials breached election regulations by misappropriating public funds for the governing party's campaign. The amount of money the CBC spent on government ads that seem to match the BJP's campaign themes has now been made public by an Al Jazeera investigation. Critics claim these ads cast doubt on the ability of non-partisan organizations to maintain impartiality during the election. From November, when it began running regular ads on the internet platform, until March 15, the government's communication agency spent around 387 million rupees ($4.65 million) on Google AdWords.  

While he was away, Sanjay Leela Bhansalis Heeramandi ADs would film a single page in 12 hours. Actor Mark Bennington pondered Is this a joke

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is listed as the only director of the Netflix series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, with a few other directors receiving credit at the conclusion of each episode. Actor Mark Bennington, who portrayed the evil British officer Henderson in the show, disclosed in a recent interview that his aides would shoot for hours on end on days when Bhansali wasn't there in order to await the director's permission. He revealed that Bhansali would receive specific footage, which he would either accept or reject. However, on the days when Bhansali directed himself, scenes would be completed in three to five takes.During his first day on the Heeramandi set, Mark noted in an interview with Showsha that Bhansali wasn't there. They were emailing Bhansali clips, which I'm not sure he approved or disapproved of. They would merely email him the clips, not every clip. I'm not sure. Anyhow. We ultimately did fifteen to twenty-five takes for each arrangement. On a wide picture, it took about 19 takes. "Are you guys kidding me?" I thought. Is this a practical joke? I mistook it for a candid camera. There must be a joke in this. We are unable to perform that many takes. When we come to the close-up and there are two takes, I believed everything would be OK.

Positive parenting How feedback affects a childs emotional and general wellbeing

The goal of positive parenting is to use feedback to support a child's mental health, resilience, and sense of self-worth. Professionals offer advicePositive parenting focuses on providing feedback to foster a child's self-esteem, build resilience, and promote mental well-being since the words we use to lead our children have a significant impact on their mental health. Children's self-image and self-esteem are shaped by our words and nonverbal cues, and this formative experience also serves as the foundation for the inner dialogue that they carry into adulthood.Mansi Poddar, a trauma-informed psychotherapist, said in an interview with HT Lifestyle: "When feedback emphasizes effort and progress, it supports a child's attempts and celebrates their growth. This enhances self-esteem and confidence. Say something more precise, like, "I loved how you used different colors in your drawing," rather than just "good job."Mansi Poddar declared, "This fosters a love for learning and self-motivation," adding that receiving positive feedback makes learning and accomplishments truly enjoyable. Remind a young person of their efforts by saying something like, "I see you practiced your piano piece, it sounds great!" When parents give their children feedback that acknowledges their feelings, the child learns to recognize and control their emotions. By doing this, emotional intelligence is developed. Pay attention to how their actions impact you: “It makes me happy when you share your toys.”"When we celebrate effort after challenges, it helps to increase a kid's resilience," the speaker continued. Saying something as basic as, "I know that test was hard, but you kept trying!" can have a significant impact. Here, kids discover that errors are opportunities rather than disappointments. This strengthens resilience and the capacity to overcome obstacles."Mindful relating can be the nourishing soil for the development of children," noted Sandy Dias Andrade, psychotherapist and founder-director of the Just Being Center for Mindfulness and Presence, adding her knowledge to the same. Their self-talk translates as "I'm not ok" or "I'm not perfect" and "I have to be a particular way to be accepted and loved" or "I'm not good enough" when we are harsh, critical, or impatient with them.The speaker came to the following conclusion: "In some ways, it validates who they are at a deeper level of being when we are encouraging, soothing, and truly see their efforts, their traits, that are not just reflected in our words but also in our eyes, through our touch, and in how we relate to them. People feel accepted for who they are. As a result, kids develop an innate ease and confidence in themselves, in their interactions with others, and in the world, exactly as they are. We serve as reflections of their inner selves.

The Supreme Court punishes those who create and support misleading food and health advertisements following Patanjalis censure.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court is now scrutinizing other sponsors and advertisers of dishonest food and health product ad campaigns, after Patanjali.Advertisers shall submit self-declaration forms certifying their compliance with cable TV laws and advertising standards prior to airing adverts, according to a bench made up of Justice Hima Kohli and Justice A. Amanullah that declared this on Tuesday. It stated that before the advertisements air, these statements had to be filed to the Broadcast Seva webpage.Additionally, it forewarned that promoters of false goods and services, such as celebrities and influencers, would be held equally accountable.The consumer affairs ministry was ordered by the court to set up a system that would allow advertisers to submit self-declarations for print media ads in four weeks.The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) took action against deceptive or fraudulent advertisements, especially those that pertain to food and health, and the court requested that the ministry provide a new affidavit detailing these steps. In a contempt action against co-founders of Patanjali Ayurved, yoga master Ramdev and managing director Balkrishna, for publishing deceptive ads in violation of the Drugs and Magic Remedies Objectionable Advertisements Act, the Supreme Court postponed its decision on Tuesday, according to Bar and Bench.Additionally, a bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Ahsanuddin Amanullah overruled a previous ruling requiring Ramdev and Balkrishna to be in person for the proceedings.After Ramdev and Balkrishna's attorneys promised the court they would provide a detailed account of every action done by Patanjali Ayurved to cease releasing deceptive advertisements, the order was revoked.The affidavit will be filed in three weeks, the court was informed, and it will include a detailed account of the actions the corporation took to recall the items for which its licenses have been stopped.The Indian Medical Association filed a suit against Patanjali Ayurved Limited, alleging that the firm was engaged in a "smear campaign" against modern medicine and the Covid-19 vaccination campaign. The bench was deliberating over this appeal.Senior Advocate Balbir Singh informed the bench during the hearing that the company has written to a number of platforms that were still running its adverts on behalf of Ramdev and Balkrishna. In addition, he declared that the selling of goods that were prohibited had stopped.

Five openers who are changing T20 cricket in the IPL 2024

What is the connection between Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Jake Fraser-McGurk? In the Indian Premier League (IPL) for 2024, all three of the openers have strike rates more than 200. More than 12 runs per over, that is. Additionally, they have healthy averages of 41, 53, and 36, respectively, indicating that they have made significant runs—not just cameos—contributing to the team.With strike rates of 183 and 182, respectively, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) openers Sunil Narine and Phil Salt are a little lower than the other three. However, their methods and outcomes are comparable. Their respective healthy averages are 38 and 40.The carefree mindset exhibited by these batsmen has altered anticipations regarding the potential of Twenty20 cricket. On strong batting surfaces, one can expect scores of over 240 in 20 overs at a rate of 12 an over, and over 90 in the 6-over powerplay at a rate of 15 an over.It's no longer unusual to swing the bat from the opening ball of the inning in a baseball fashion. With the exception of bowler-friendly wickets that challenge batting technique, the traditional elbows-up approach is disappearing.Power hitters are warming up for sixes rather than boundaries during practice. To continue pounding the ball for extended periods of time, they are also developing their muscle memory.  

Sanya Malhotra claims her mother took her to an astrologer in order to discourage her from acting, and the casting director advised her to get jaw reconstructive surgery.

The actor Sanya Malhotra talked candidly about the difficulties she encountered in her career, such as casting directors' critical remarks and her mother's lack of encouragement. Despite her mother taking her to "pandits" who thought she would be better suited for a profession in a bank, Sanya claimed in an interview that she was always endowed with the highest level of confidence and felt she would succeed as an actor or dancer.In an interview with online sensation Uorfi Javed for her podcast, Sanya talked about how self-assured she was when it came to her acting career in Mumbai and how she refused to wear cosmetics to auditions. When asked if she had any unpleasant memories from the years, she replied, "I still remember jaw reconstruction." I thought, "What?""They don't say anything now," she went on. But I'm aware of my perfection! I have so much confidence that it's beyond words. Naturally, though, it varies. It throws off especially during periods. I also have endometriosis, and my ovaries contain a cyst. However, I was so self-assured that I used to attend auditions in Mumbai without wearing makeup or hair. I was certain that my acting alone would get me the job. Of course I had a moustache in school. I responded to a youngster who made fun of me by saying, "Well, you don't have one. " I was certain I would become a heroine even at that young age.When asked if her parents had given her any criticism, Sanya replied, "They were both quite supportive. My mother insisted that I complete my schooling before anything else. She wished for me to do my post-graduation studies. My father was, to my surprise, more supportive. However, my mother brought me to see at least three pandit jis, all of whom advised against acting and that this wasn't the right path for me. My mother was informed that I will major in economics and work at a bank. That's not conceivable, I said.The 2016 movie Dangal, the highest-grossing Indian film ever, marked Sanya's feature film debut. Since then, she has acted in the highly regarded films Pagglait, Badhaai Ho, Pataakha, and Photograph. She starred in three films in 2023: the biographical Sam Bahadur, the comedy Kathal, and the blockbuster hit Jawan.  

Pratibha Ranta discusses the parallels between her characters in Heeramandi and Laapataa Ladies. The feeling was the same.

Actor Pratibha Ranta recently talked about her experience filming Heeramandi, the web series by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and the movie starring Kiran Rao.The actor Pratibha Ranta appeared in two very different characters in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar and Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies. She did, however, grasp onto a resemblance between her characters while speaking with Indian Express. (Also Read: Interview with Pratibha Ranta: I get excited when girls tell me they can identify with my role in Laapataa Ladies.)Pratibha portrayed Jaya in Laapataa Ladies, a young lady from a traditional household who gets married off against her will. She portrayed Shama in Heeramandi, a stunning little girl who is the envy of her mother, prostitute Waheeda (Sanjeeda Sheikh)."I was able to experience a different world when I went to shoot for Heeramandi," Pratibha added, describing the experience as a "magical one." Heeramandi had a large set, and I found that the two characters' approaches were very dissimilar. Jaya has a guarded demeanor. She deliberates for a long time before acting. She is, however, observing. This is what she is doing, which is why she has four eyes. Thus, all of that was something I used to consider when getting ready for Jaya's role. She did, however, see a commonality throughout her roles—the need for independence. "But, in the end, it was the same emotion to get that freedom that I have to do what I have to do," the woman remarked.Despite being an urban girl, Pratibha said she could identify to her role in an interview with Hindustan Times following the premiere of Laapataa Ladies. She asserted, "She is unwavering in her conviction and speaks up for herself when no one else does." What's not to connect? Additionally, I saw parallels between her experience and mine. I knew I wanted to be an actress, even though my family thought I should pursue something else. To pursue my aspirations, I moved to Mumbai from Shimla. Like her, I've always insisted on having autonomy over my own life. I had a strong feeling that I could be her.
