Tilak Verma’s father Namburi Nagraj was an electrician by profession, he used to earn a living by doing electrical work but his status was son Tilak Coach Salaam Bayash had full faith in himself that this boy would one day become a big player.

Ayushmann Reveals How Ranbir & Ranveer Made Him Choose Unconventional Movies

Ayushmann Khurrana has the image of an unconventional actor and he recently gives credit of the same to Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. Ayushmann Khurrana is one of the most versatile and talented actors of the industry and he has made a place for himself in Bollywood, thanks to his distinctive choice of films and roles which are not conventional and rather the ones breaking stereotypes and setting new standards.

He is a great actor, brilliant singer, superb anchor and what not; overall he is a complete package of entertainment. He recently had a session at FICCI Frames where he revealed how he redefined the new age hero and his journey as an unconventional actor.

From choosing scripts and roles to challenges in the path of breaking stereotypes, Ayushmann talks about his struggles and how he cemented his place in the industry. He has shown the world that success can be achieved if you are determined, wish to take risks and push boundaries.

The actor also discloses why he opts for unconventional roles, “I think in every era there has been space for every kind of character, every kind of actor. In the 2010s there was a definite void for an actor who was also a character, especially, around the time Vicky Donor happened (2012). The protagonist was there in an unconventional film which did commercially well. Ranbir Kapoor had just made his debut.

At the time there was this void of actors in their 20s as most of them were in their 30s and 40s.” Ayushmann goes on to say, “When Ranbir made his debut, I was like, ‘Yeah to aa gaya, ab mein kya karunga?’ Then Ranveer Singh came into the industry in 2010/11 and again it made me think… ‘Yeh bhi aa gaya ab mein kya karunga?’ I had no option but to take the unconventional path and fortunately, it worked for me. I was an anchor on television, and Shoojit Sircar saw something in me (for Vicky Donor).

I didn’t even audition for that film, and it all started there.” Ayushmann says that he is obsessed with the whole story of the movie and not just his own character,
“In my films, I am not really obsessed with my own character, I am obsessed with the whole story.

I may not be the main driver of the story, the characters around me are also very strong, whether it is Jaideep Ahlawat in An Action Hero, Rajkummar Rao in Bareilly Ki Barfi, Gajraj Rao and Neena Gupta in Badhaai Ho or Bhumi Pednekar in Dum Laga Ke Haisha.”

Ayushmann also says that he will like to explore the genre of horror comedy, “A horror comedy might happen soon. I am excited and yes it will have that quirk in it. It has to be different, otherwise it won’t excite me.”

On the work front, Ayushmann’s upcoming flick is “Dream Girl 2” that will release on 25th August will also star Ananya Panday.

Elon Musk uses Twitter Space to announce $2B spending plan for Starship rocket

Despite the massive rocket’s explosion earlier this month only seconds after leaving the launchpad, Elon Musk still has huge ambitions for SpaceX and its Starship rocket this year.

The software entrepreneur spoke candidly about the failures and achievements of the April 20 launch on Saturday in a subscribers-only Twitter Space. According to the media, Musk stated that without acquiring more funds, SpaceX will spend around $2 billion building the Starship rocket in 2023.

Michael Sheetz, a space correspondent for CNBC, live-tweeted the debate led by the CEO of Twitter. The creator of SpaceX stated, according to Sheetz, “We do not anticipate needing to raise funding… we don’t think we need to raise funding.”

After the megarocket exploded, Musk tweeted his congratulations to the SpaceX team for a “exciting test launch.”

After the megarocket exploded, Musk thanked the SpaceX team for a “exciting test launch” and tweeted that he had “learned a lot for the next test launch in a few months.”

According to Sheetz, Musk told listeners on Saturday that the conclusion “was roughly in line with what I expected, and maybe slightly exceeding my expectations, but roughly what I expected, which is that we would get clear of the pad.”

According to Musk, there is an 80% possibility that the Starship will enter orbit in 2023, and those odds are significantly better for the next year.

He stated, “I believe there is a near to 100% chance of reaching orbit within 12 months. The 40-story mega-rocket’s engines launched debris into the air during liftoff on April 20, and some of it even reached a community five kilometers away. The booster then failed to separate at a height of around 24 miles, causing the rocket to crash and forcing the SpaceX team to destroy it in an explosion.

The launchpad was damaged and a crater was left behind by an unanticipated “rock tornado”. According to CNBC, Musk guaranteed that the launchpad’s damage “was actually quite small” on Twitter and that it will be swiftly fixed.

Since the failure of the launch, Musk has maintained his confidence in trying once more in six to eight weeks because SpaceX is developing multiple Starship prototypes.

He praised his team’s efforts throughout the Twitter Space as well. He stated, “I believed the SpaceX team performed outstanding work. This is undoubtedly a contender for the hardest technical challenge undertaken by a person.

Sehwag Slams Kohli-Gambhir Duel, Says ‘My Kids Can Lip-Read, Understand Ben Stokes’

Virender Sehwag condemns the verbal brawl between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli and asks the BCCI to ban the players responsible for such acts that set a wrong example for youngsters.


The ugly brawl between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli may be 3 days old now but it is still one of the most discussed topics in the cricket circles and some former cricketers have acted in a very strong manner and demanded stricter actions in order to ensure that no such thing happens again.

The former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag who has played with both Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli has tried to remind these two that they are the icons of many youngsters and if they will do such things, the youngsters may also repeat it in the future.


In fact, Sehwag has asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India to ban the players who are involved in these types of incidents because he feels that a strict action can only reduce such instances.


During an interview, he said, “If the BCCI decides to ban anyone, then maybe such incidents will happen rarely or not take place at all. Such incidents have happened several times in the past so it’s better to do whatever you want to inside
the controlled environment of the dressing room. When you’re on the ground, these things don’t look nice.”

Viru paaji reveals that his own kids can lip read and understand what these players are saying to each other so if his kids can understand, then other kids can also do that. In his words, “My own kids can lip-read and they very well understand Ben Stokes. So that is when I feel bad. If you’re saying such things, if my kids can read it, others can too and tomorrow they will think that if they (Kohli
and Gambhir) can say it, so can I.”

0

KL Rahul, the IPL 2023’s star batsman, will miss the remaining games owing to injury. In the game against RCB, he sustained a hamstring injury. Rahul has since been replaced as the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants by Krunal Pandya, however Krunal struggled against the Chennai Super Kings. This gave him a bad record to add to his resume. Let’s discuss it.

Against Chennai Super Kings, Krunal Pandya was out for zero. As soon as he took the field as captain, he got out on zero with this. Prior to him, Aiden Markram and VVS Laxman also failed to score in the IPL. In the IPL 2023, Krunal Pandya has fallen short of expectations.

In the first ten games of the IPL 2023, he has scored 122 runs. He has also claimed six wickets to his name concurrently.

Since 2016, Krunal Pandya has competed in the IPL. He formerly participated in IPL games with the Mumbai Indians. He was a significant contributor to Mumbai winning the championship in 2020.

He was acquired by the Lucknow Super Giants club for Rs 8.25 crore during the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. He excels in rapid batting by starting in the bottom order and also bowls well. In 108 IPL games, he has so far amassed 1448 runs and 67 wickets.

Raise funds for your startup like this: Nithin Kamath shares startup funding tips

0

When it comes to fundraising, these are difficult times for companies. There is not enough money available right now. Nitin Kamat, the creator of the brokerage company Zerodha, holds this opinion. In a series of tweets, he predicted that the number of founders and business leaders resigning, particularly late-stage startups, will rise, making it challenging for companies to endure this challenging funding environment.

Why could such a thing happen?

The 43-year-old Kamat is listed as having a net worth of $2.7 billion on the most recent Forbes rich list, which is equal to Rs 22,116 crore in Indian rupees. According to Kamath, the mismatch between values and business fundamentals and liquidation preferences are the key causes of the capital shortage.

Kamath thinks that trade-off investors are also subject to liquidation preferences. In the tweet, he said that new investors would be given the greatest precedence.

A lesson for investors

According to Kamat, it’s probable that the current environment of limited funding will teach investors that businesses in India should be structured differently since preference concerns in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and initial public offerings (IPOs) are difficult to resolve.

Relevant news

It’s not always a good idea to raise money at a high valuation.

It’s not always a smart idea to raise a lot of money at a high valuation, according to Kamath. For investors, it might be preferable to mark up the investment and boost the performance of their fund.

The founders and teams, however, might not be pleased because their stock would continue to depreciate with every new round as a result of the preferred problem.

Be proud of this

Investments resemble loans, in Kamat’s opinion, when it becomes difficult to secure new funding during periods of stagnant growth or when businesses are valued highly. With little to no outside funding from venture capitalists, Nitin Kamath is proud of having taken Zerodha from its infancy to its pinnacle.

Zerodha is entirely bootstrapped and is the startup that has caused the most commotion in the Indian broking industry.

Bootstrapping, or beginning a business with solely personal savings, may involve borrowing or investing money from family or friends.

Here’s what a source told an entertainment portal,
“The fact that the teaser or trailer of Jawan isn’t out yet and that there has been no intimation from Red Chillies Entertainment as to when the promotions will start have added to the speculation that Jawan is getting postponed.”
If the latest reports are to be believed, “Jawan” will release on 29th June, Thursday.


The source added,
“If it releases on the 29th, it can have a four-day weekend and also get the advantage of the Bakri Eid holiday on its release day. Moreover, Siddharth Malhotra-starrer Yodha and Ayushmann Khurana-starrer Dream Girl 2 were slated to arrive in cinemas on July 7. Both got pushed last week. Many believed that these movies were postponed as they don’t want to get in the way of the Jawan wave.”


Other than Shah Rukh Khan, Atlee’s “Jawan” also features Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra and Nayanthara plus Deepika Padukone will also have a special appearance in the flick.

Let’s see when SRK and Red Chillies Entertainment will make an official announcement in this regard.

Modi adds that Shailesh Lodha doesn’t want to complete these official formalities.

Asit Kumarr Modi further talks about the cryptic posts made by Shailesh Lodha. He says that Lodha always talks about the self-respect of actors and then he asks whether Lodha feels that the producers don’t have any self-respect.

Asit Kumarr Modi also revealed that Shailesh Lodha wanted to work outside as well but it was difficult to allow him due to the requirements in the show because of which they had a little fight; when he said that he wanted to quit, he was asked to give three months notice for which he was not ready and then he never returned.
