Deepika Padukone Reveals Why Rs 500 Crore Films No Longer Excite Her

After years of delivering blockbusters and headlining big-ticket productions, Deepika Padukone says she has consciously stepped away from roles and projects that no longer align with her personal or artistic values. In a candid conversation with Harper's Bazaar, she revealed that the markers that once defined success no longer appeal to her. Shifting Priorities Beyond Fame And Box Office Numbers Deepika, who has increasingly used her platform to advocate for fair working hours and equal pay in the industry, shared that her motivations have significantly evolved.  "At this stage, it's not about that anymore. It's not about the Rs 100-crore films, or even the Rs 500-Rs 600 crore ones," she said. In recent months, the actress reportedly stepped away from two major projects opposite Prabhas's Spirit and Kalki 2898 AD. Her decision, according to reports, stemmed from her insistence on fair compensation and an eight-hour working shift. Expanding on her outlo...

CSK Break Silence After Trading Ravindra Jadeja To RR: "He Was Very Clear"

Chennai Super Kings Managing Director Kasi Viswanathan discussed the franchise trading their key all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja to Rajasthan Royals, describing it as one of the most difficult decisions the team management had to make. Ahead of the IPL 2026 auction, the league confirmed on Saturday that Jadeja and Sam Curran had been traded to RR, with CSK receiving Sanju Samson in exchange.
Although the news had been circulating for nearly a week, official confirmation from both franchises left many fans heartbroken. Both Jadeja and Samson had been integral parts of their respective teams, becoming the faces of their sides.

However, the CSK MD stated that the decision was mutual, and the players believed a change was necessary.

"Chennai Super Kings, as you know, have traded Jadeja and Sam Curran for Sanju Samson from Rajasthan Royals. As a franchise, you might know that over the years, we have not used the path of trading, except for one year when we got Robin Uthappa. The team management felt the need for a top-order Indian batsman. And since not many Indian batsmen are going to be available at the auction, we thought the best way to get an Indian top-order batter is to go through the trade window.

"And hence we have to take this call. And, this decision has been taken by the team management and it is a very tough decision leaving out Jaddu, who has been responsible for the success of CSK over the years. It was probably one of the toughest decisions that CSK had to take, that the team management had to take. Considering the transition of CSK at this point of time, the team management took the toughest decision.

"It is a must that we should consult with the players concerned. And it was after mutual agreement that we under took this. When I spoke to Jadeja, he was also very clear that if there is an opportunity for him because he is also, he also felt that he was at the fag end of his career in white ball. So he also felt that he can have a break," Kasi said in a video shared by the CSK.

"Sam Curran was with us in 2020, 2021 and 2025. He has been a Consistent performer for us. As I said earlier, leaving out Sam as well as Jaddu was one of the toughest calls. We have certain players who are at the fag end of their career. And it is very important for CSK to build a team in the next couple of years. And since this is a mini auction, we don't have the opportunity to get the best of the Indian batsmen.

"Sanju has been one of the most experienced IPL batsmen, having scored more than 4,500 runs. And he has also been leading Rajasthan Royals. He has the experience and he is only around 30 years. So, we thought that he will be a good addition for CSK to take care of the future. Emotionally, the fans will be very very upset because I have already got a lot of messages from the fans. But taking into account the current status of the team composition, nothing tank of the CSK cricket management felt the need for a change. And I am sure that in the years to come, CSK will maintain the same kind of consistency and also perform well," he added.

Jadeja, who played for CSK for 12 seasons and appeared in over 250 matches, is one of the most experienced players in the league. According to the trade agreement, his league fee has been reduced from Rs 18 crore to Rs 14 crore.

Meanwhile, Samson will represent CSK at his current league fee of Rs 18 crore. With 177 IPL matches to his name, he is also one of the league's most experienced players. This will be only his third franchise. Since his IPL debut in 2013, the senior player has mostly played for RR, apart from two seasons-2016 and 2017-when he played for Delhi Capitals.

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...
