अरिजीत ने लगभग सवा सौ अवॉर्ड जीते हैं। सबसे बड़ा अवॉर्ड तो जनप्रेम है। नाक चढ़ाकर नए गायकों को आंकने वाले अधिकांश लोग-आलोचक भी अरिजीत के प्रति सकारात्मक राय रखते हैं। संजय विनयचंद्र शाह 2005 में ‘फेम गुरुकुल’ के फाइनलिस्ट से करोड़ों दिलों में अचल स्थान बनाने में अरिजीत सिंह को एक दशक से कम समय लगा। इतने कम समय में उन्होंने लंबी सफर तय की। ईमानदारी से कहें तो, उनके सामने अभी बहुत लंबी यात्रा बाकी है। फिर भी, मात्र 38 वर्ष की उम्र में अरिजीत ने प्लेबैक सिंगिंग की दुनिया को ‘बस’ कह देने की घोषणा कर दी…

Arijit has won more than 125 awards. Yet the biggest award remains the love of the people. Even most critics and ordinary listeners who tend to look down their noses at new singers hold a positive view of Arijit Sanjay Vinaychandra Shah From being a finalist on ‘Fame Gurukul’ in 2005 to securing an unshakable place in the hearts of crores, Arijit Singh took less than a decade. In a short span, he cultivated a long journey, and honestly speaking, a far longer road still lies ahead of him. Yet, at just 38, Arijit has declared ‘enough’ to the world…

અરિજિત ઓલમોસ્ટ સવાસો એવોર્ડ્સ જીત્યો છે. સૌથી મોટો એવોર્ડ લોકચાહના છે. નાકનું ટીચકું ચડાવીને નવા ગાયકોને મૂલવનારા લોકો-વિવેચકો સુધ્ધાં અરિજિત માટે પોઝિટિવ મંતવ્ય ધરાવે છે સંજય વિનયચંદ્ર શાહ 2005માં ફેમ ગુરુકુળના ફાઇનલિસ્ટથી કરોડો હૃદયમાં અચળ સ્થાન બનાવતાં અરિજિત સિંઘે એક દાયકાથી ઓછો સમય લીધો. ટૂંકા ગાળામાં એણે લાંબી સફ ખેડી અને પ્રામાણિકતા સાથે કહીએ તો, એની સામે હજી તો બહુ લાંબી સફર છે. અરિજિતે, તેમ છતાં, માત્ર 38ની ઉંમરે, પ્લેબેક સિંગંગની દુનિયાને આવો કહે દેવાની ઘોષણા કરી છે. અને બોલો! એણે આવડી પ્રભાવશાળી કારકિર્દીમાં હજી તો હજારથી ઓછાં (800 આસપાસ, પાકો અંદાજ માંડીએ તો) ગીતો માટે કંઠ આપ્યો છે. બીજા…

મહારાષ્ટ્રની રાજનીતિના અટપટા ગણિતમાં અજિત અનંતરાવ પવાર જેટલા અનિવાર્ય, વિવાદાસ્પદ અને અકલ્પનીય હદે અસરકારક રાજકારણીઓ ઓછા જોવા મળ્યા છે. બુધવારે સવારે બારામતી એરપોર્ટ નજીક તેમનું ચાર્ટર્ડ લિયરજેટ વિમાન દુર્ઘટનાગ્રસ્ત થયાના સમાચાર સાથે રાજ્યમાં જાણે ધરતીકંપ આવ્યો. વિમાનમાં સવાર પાંચેય લોકોનાં મૃત્યુ થયા એ વાત વાયુવેગે પર્સરી ગઈ. એ સાથે દુઃખની લહેરો સાથે સર્વત્ર અવિશ્વાસ પણ પ્રસરી ગયો. આ રીતે અજિતદાદા ના જઈ શકે, ક્યારેય નહીં, એવી લાગણી પરાકાષ્ઠાએ પહોંચી ગઈ. તત્ક્ષણ જાણે મંત્રાલયમાં ફાઇલો અટકી પડી. તમામ પક્ષોના કાર્યાલયોમાં ફોન વાગતા રહ્યા, પશ્ચિમ મહારાષ્ટ્રમાં તો પહેલી પ્રતિક્રિયા આઘાતની નહીં પરંતુ સૌને અસ્વસ્થ બનાવતી, ચીરી નાખતી શાંતિની ફેલાઈ ગઈ. અજિતદાદા નથી…

In the unforgiving arithmetic of Maharashtra politics, few figures were as indispensable, as resented, and as ruthlessly effective as Ajit Anantrao Pawar. When news broke on Wednesday morning that his chartered Learjet had crashed near Baramati airport, killing all five on board, disbelief travelled faster than grief. In Mantralaya, files stopped moving. In party offices, phones rang without answers. Across western Maharashtra, the first reaction was not shock, but a quieter, more unsettling realisation. Ajit Dada is gone. The man who made governments hold. The man who made rebellions dissolve. The man who understood where power actually lived. Maharashtra had…

For most Indians, the idea of cloning a pet still sounds like something out of a science fiction film or a foreign celebrity magazine. Dogs and cats, in this country, are traditionally adopted, rescued, gifted, or found, rarely “replicated”. Yet across parts of the world, a quiet but growing industry promises grieving pet owners something deeply emotional and profoundly unsettling: a genetic copy of the animal they have lost. Pet cloning is no longer theoretical. It exists. It is legal in several countries. It is expensive, controversial, emotionally charged, and scientifically real. This article explains pet cloning from A to…

When Dhurandhar hit theatres in December 2025, it did more than dominate the box office, it redefined what a Hindi spy thriller could be. The film’s success is not just about patriotism or star power; it is a case study in how grand filmmaking, narrative timing, and audience psychology can converge to create a cinematic storm. From the very first frame, you know this is not a standard Bollywood action flick. The camera sweeps over sprawling sets, meticulously recreating Karachi’s Lyari neighbourhood, though shot thousands of miles away in Bangkok. The attention to detail is staggering… Graffiti on walls, neon…

Usually, I don’t feel like writing about a movie trailer. Most such ‘reviews’ feel like marketing gimmicks dressed as opinions. But after watching Aamir Khan Productions’ Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos announcement, I can’t help myself. This isn’t a teaser, and it isn’t exactly a trailer! It’s Aamir Khan’s (with Vir’s) mind at its quirkiest and most brilliant. In under four minutes, Aamir and Vir Das take us through a rollercoaster that’s part comedy, part chaos, and entirely hilarious. The setup is simple: Aamir is furious with Vir for making a ‘bad movie.’ The conversation kicks off: Aamir: “Kya banaya tune?”…

She said, “Just add an Indian touch to it and you’re done.” The flood of vertical shows, or microdramas, is rampaging through the entertainment industry like never before. Who would have imagined, just three or four years ago, that capsule-sized episodes, two minutes long, 40–50 in a series, would create such a storm? But it’s happening. Everywhere. Everyone is either making a vertical show or writing or acting in one. That means a sudden surge of work and opportunities, right? Yes! But the same trend is also snatching creativity away like never before. The craze began when Douyin, China’s TikTok,…

The boy who dreamt of becoming an actor in Class 9 turned that ambition into reality with absolute conviction. Dharam Paaji didn’t just achieve his dream—he carved his name into Bollywood with a force and permanence very few ever manage. “Ma, I want to be a hero. I’ll go to Mumbai.” “Have you lost your mind? You’re the eldest son. You carry responsibility.” In a tiny, barely noticeable village named Dangon in Punjab’s Ludhiana district lived the Deol family. The father, Kaival Krishan, was a schoolteacher, and the mother, Satwant, managed the home. They had seven children, and Dharam was…
