  • Setting the Record Straight: Kalki 2898 AD Credits Controversy Is Based on False Claims

    Setting the Record Straight: Kalki 2898 AD Credits Controversy Is Based on False Claims

    After a sudden wave of online buzz and viral posts last night, it’s time to set the record straight — Deepika Padukone’s name was and still remains in the credits of Kalki 2898 AD.

    On 18th September Vyjayanthi Films had announced that Deepika Padukone will not be part of Kalki 2 sparked a flurry of social media reactions.

    Recently certain fan clubs began circulating fake screenshots/videos claiming that the actress’s name had been “removed” from the credits of Kalki 2898 AD on streaming platforms.

    The claim quickly gained traction without a basic fact check.

    Here’s the truth: Deepika Padukone’s name continues to appear in the official credits of Kalki 2898 AD on both Amazon Prime Video and Netflix India, across all language versions.

    Screenshots and recordings from users show her name listed exactly as it was at the time of the film’s theatrical release. There has been no edit, no removal, and certainly no re-addition.

    Reports also suggested that the credits were “added back” after online backlash are not only false but technically impossible.Updating or modifying credits on OTT platforms like Amazon or Netflix is a lengthy, multi-step process involving global syncs, file replacements, and quality checks. It cannot be done overnight or in response to social media outrage.

    This viral misinformation, started by unverified fan handles, unfairly targeted the Kalki 2898 AD team and spread rapidly through media circles without verification.

    A source close to the film confirmed,
    “This entire claim is baseless. Deepika Padukone’s name has always been a part of the official credits of Kalki 2898 AD— across all languages and platforms. People need to understand that adding or removing anything from a film on OTT platforms is not a simple switch. You can’t just ‘add credits overnight’ after backlash, as some reports are suggesting. The same can be reconfirmed by any one that has access to these ott platforms.”

    Vyjayanthi Films has not issued a statement on the matter, but the facts are evident to anyone who streams the film — Deepika Padukone’s credits remain exactly as they were.

  • Medanta Noida Launches First-of-its-Kind ‘Aao. Dekho. Seekho.’ initiative to Empower Women with Breast Self-Examination Skills

    Medanta Noida Launches First-of-its-Kind ‘Aao. Dekho. Seekho.’ initiative to Empower Women with Breast Self-Examination Skills

    Noida, October 29, 2025 – Medanta Hospital Noida has unveiled its ‘Aao. Dekho. Seekho.’ kiosks, where women can get a hands-on learning experience of the breast self-examination. This initiative, launched nationwide by the Medanta Cancer Institute, brings about a paradigm shift in Breast Cancer Awareness programmes, where traditionally knowledge was only transferred verbally. Through this initiative, Medanta aims to empower over 10 million women across the country.

    The ‘Aao. Dekho. Seekho.’ kiosks offer a safe, stigma-free, and private environment where women can learn how to perform breast self-examination on life-size simulators under the guidance of Medanta’s trained nursing team, breaking barriers around breast health and promoting early detection of breast cancer.

    The kiosks are part of a larger nationwide ‘Jaanta Hai Medanta’ movement by Medanta, to raise awareness and drive action against cancer. The expression ‘Jaanta Hai Medanta’ is not just a tag line – it represents a deep understanding of every family’s battle against cancer, is a reminder that Medanta truly understands the person behind the patient and walks beside them at every step of this difficult journey.

    Each kiosk is structured into three key sections:

    • Aao: A welcoming space where women learn why self-exams matter, with simple messaging and visual aids
    • Dekho: Interactive sessions, expert-led videos, and educational material ensure that women are not just aware but empowered to practice monthly self-checks
    • Seekho: A women-only section featuring life-size breast simulators where participants, guided by Medanta’s nursing team, learn the correct technique in a private and respectful environment

    Dr. Vuthaluru Seenu, Director, Endocrine & Breast Surgery at Medanta said, “Timely screening and self-examination can help detect Breast Cancer early and save lakhs of lives. The ‘Aao. Dekho. Seekho.’ initiative turns awareness into action, and will help inspire countless families to adopt the tradition of breast self-examination.”

    Every minute, 4 women are diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide – and one loses her life to the disease within 5 years of diagnosis.

    These figures highlight the urgent need for awareness, early detection, and proactive health practices that can save lives. By directly linking the alarming rise in breast cancer cases with a practical, community-driven solution, the kiosks turn awareness into action and help women overcome hesitation and stigma around breast health.

Trained in the Kirana, Gwalior, and Agra gharanas, he created over 200 original bandishes under the pen name Gunijaan. Each composition reflected his profound insight into melody, poetry, and philosophy — touching on devotion, spirituality, human emotion, nature, and love. His music continues to live on through his disciples and admirers across generations.

    In “Suran Mein Ras Tum Ho”, select bandishes of Pandit Vyas will be brought to life by acclaimed vocalists Pandit Suresh Bapat, Anuja Zokarkar, Noopur Gadgil, and Kedar Kelkar, accompanied by Ravindra Yavagal on tabla, Vyas Murthy Katti on harmonium, and the students of Suresh Bapat as chorus singers.

    The Captain of Ports Department extended gratitude to industry partners and experts contributing to Goa’s transformation into India’s most sustainable maritime state.

    Today, Goa’s model stands as a national benchmark — blending tradition, technology, and responsible growth to build a globally competitive and environmentally conscious maritime economy.

  • Delhi-NCR Property Market Records 2.5× Surge in Office Leasing in Q3 2025

    Delhi-NCR Property Market Records 2.5× Surge in Office Leasing in Q3 2025

    Delhi-NCR’s commercial real estate market is witnessing a remarkable rebound, with office leasing activity surging 2.5 times in Q3 2025 compared to the previous quarter. As per a Cushman and Wakefield report, net leasing of office spaces jumped 2.5 times to 3.79 million square feet in the third quarter of this calendar year from 1.52 million square feet in the year-ago period. This positioned Delhi-NCR as a major player in the national property market, contributing 23% to the total net leasing of office spaces across the top eight cities during the period.

    The growth is being driven by strong occupier demand from sectors such as IT/ITeS, BFSI, and co-working, as businesses expand operations to accommodate a returning workforce and evolving hybrid models. Gurugram, Noida, and select micro-markets like the Dwarka Expressway and Noida-Greater Noida Expressway have emerged as frontrunners, backed by robust infrastructure, improved connectivity, and high-quality supply.

    Besides, the market is also seeing a decisive shift towards quality. Nearly 80% of fresh office space supply in Q3 was Grade-A assets, indicating an appetite for premium, future-ready workspaces.

    *Mr Sanchit Bhutani, Managing Director, Goup 108,says, “Noida and Greater Noida are entering a transformative phase where infrastructure growth and occupier intent are seamlessly aligned. With key developments like the Noida International Airport and the Noida Expressway driving momentum, this region is fast emerging as the next frontier for MNCs and GCCs to establish large-scale operations. The combination of quality supply, cost advantage, and policy stability makes it an ideal destination for future-ready office spaces. As Delhi-NCR continues to draw strong corporate interest on the back of its evolving infrastructure and robust talent ecosystem, Noida–Greater Noida is well poised to become one of the region’s most dynamic and future-focused business hubs—delivering sustained value for both enterprises and investors”

    Moreover, the momentum signals a renewed sense of investor confidence and underscores the region’s growing dominance in India’s commercial real estate landscape. The growing presence of Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and multinational corporations is further driving sustained absorption, especially in emerging corridors with strong connectivity. At the same time, co-working operators are leasing larger floor plates to meet the evolving need for flexibility, collaboration, and hybrid working environments among today’s enterprises.

    Prakash Mehta, Chairman and Managing Director, Ocus Group, says:
    “The sharp rebound in office leasing underscores how Gurugram continues to anchor NCR’s commercial story. What we’re witnessing now is not just demand recovery but a structural shift — developers are increasingly repositioning assets toward integrated, mixed-use campuses rather than standalone towers. Occupiers today want ecosystems that blend workspace efficiency with lifestyle convenience. In this context, locations like Dwarka Expressway are emerging as the next growth frontier. Once the metro expansion and expressway become fully operational, the corridor will offer unparalleled connectivity and infrastructure readiness, making it a preferred destination for global occupiers and future-ready developments.”

    Ajendra Singh, Vice President- Sales and Marketing, Spectrum@Metro, says, “The evolution of office spaces in NCR is moving toward environments that go beyond functionality to deliver a complete professional ecosystem. In Noida, we’ve seen growing demand for offices within developments, where accessibility, amenities, and visibility come together seamlessly. The advantage of being in a retail-integrated setting lies in convenience and connectivity — qualities that today’s workforce and occupiers value deeply. For many businesses, this format is proving to be a smarter, more sustainable choice for long-term operations.”

    Therefore, the surge in office leasing during Q3 highlights not just a strong quarter, but a broader shift in Delhi-NCR’s commercial real estate narrative. From Grade-A office towers in Gurugram to emerging corridors along Dwarka Expressway and Noida-Greater Noida, every submarket is contributing to this renewed dynamism.
