Sleep Divorce on the Rise: Why More Indian Couples Are Choosing Separate Beds

In a country where marriage is often considered sacred and sleeping together is seen as a symbol of intimacy, the concept of a “sleep divorce” might sound surprising. But it’s gaining popularity across urban India — and not for the reasons one might assume.

What is Sleep Divorce?

Sleep divorce is when couples choose to sleep in separate beds or even separate rooms, not because of relationship issues, but to improve the quality of their sleep. From snoring and restless tossing to mismatched sleep schedules, many couples realize that sleeping apart might bring them closer emotionally.

Why It’s Becoming a Trend in India

Mental and physical wellness is becoming increasingly crucial in Indian homes, particularly among millennials and Gen Z couples who reside in urban areas. People are no longer ready to forgo getting a good night’s sleep because of an increased understanding of its importance. Many couples have considered sleep divorce a workable solution due to snoring, air conditioning preferences, night shifts, or even taking care of children at various times

Moreover, sleep incompatibility has become more noticeable with work-from-home and flexible jobs blurring the lines between night and day routines. Rather than let sleepless nights become daily irritations, couples choose separate sleeping arrangements for better harmony.

It’s Not the End of Romance

Contrary to what it sounds like, sleep divorce doesn’t mean a lack of affection or intimacy. Many couples who practice it say it has improved their relationships. With fewer disturbances and better rest, they’re more energized, patient, and affectionate during waking hours.

Some even maintain a ritual—like cuddling or chatting before retiring to separate beds—to stay emotionally connected. It’s about redefining what a modern, healthy marriage can look like.

The idea of sleep divorce is slowly shedding its stigma in India. As couples prioritize mental health, sleep quality, and personal comfort, they are rewriting old norms in favor of more sustainable and loving relationships. After all, a well-rested partner is often a happier one.

If you’re tired of sleepless nights and constant disturbances, it’s time to ask if sleeping apart could bring you closer.

The fantasy flick promises a departure from Kartik’s usual roles, offering a blend of supernatural elements and quirky storytelling.

Karan Johar, sharing the poster on Instagram, added his signature flair to the announcement: “Insanon wali picharein toh bahut dekh li, ab dekho naagon wali pichchar! #NaagZilla – Naag lok ka pehla kaand… Funnn phailaane aa raha hai – Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand… Naag Panchami par aapke nazdeeki Sssssinemas mein – 14 August 2026 ko!”

This marks Kartik’s second outing with Dharma Productions, following their romantic drama Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, which is slated for release on Valentine’s Day.

India’s largest and most advanced cruise terminal, the Mumbai International Cruise Terminal (MICT), officially began operations on Monday, April 21, 2025. The terminal, located at Ballard Pier, can handle up to one million passengers annually, with an average capacity of 10,000 passengers per day.

The inauguration was led by Union Minister of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, who also unveiled several restored heritage structures including the Fire Memorial at Victoria Docks, Fort House at Ballard Estate, and Evelyn House in Colaba.

As part of India’s Green Port initiative, the Minister also inaugurated the Sagar Upvan garden and a shore-to-ship electrical supply system to promote sustainable maritime practices.

According to the Ministry, the MICT has been developed under the Cruise Bharat Mission and meets world-class standards. It is poised to play a key role in shaping the future of cruise tourism in India.

The terminal spans over 4.15 lakh square feet, built with an investment of ₹556 crore. The state-of-the-art facility features:

  • 72 check-in and immigration counters spread across 2.07 lakh square feet on the first two floors.
  • Two commercial floors offering shopping and leisure options.
  • Capacity to handle 5 cruise ships simultaneously, each up to 300 meters long and with a draft of 11 meters.
  • A parking area that can accommodate over 300 cars.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Sonowal highlighted Mumbai’s historic role as a maritime hub and said the terminal will offer passengers a modern, safe, and comfortable cruise experience. He also noted that this development complements India’s existing international cruise terminals in Visakhapatnam and Chennai.

In addition, the Minister signed MoUs for infrastructure projects worth over ₹5,700 crore at Vadhavan Port. This includes:

  • ₹4,200 crore for a terminal to handle container, bulk, and liquid cargo.
  • ₹1,000 crore for a dedicated bulk and liquid cargo terminal.
  • ₹500 crore for building a tank farm and liquid cargo jetty with a 3,00,000 CBM capacity for handling liquefied chemicals.

With the launch of Mumbai International Cruise Terminal (MICT), India takes a significant step toward becoming a global cruise tourism destination.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Childhood Coach Lavishes Huge Praises On Him After Grand IPL Debut

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s entry into the Indian Premier League was nothing short of sensational. Making his debut for Rajasthan Royals, the 14-year-old took the cricketing world by storm as he smashed a six off the very first ball he faced—delivered by seasoned allrounder Shardul Thakur of Lucknow Super Giants. In a fearless display of raw talent, the teenager went on to score an impressive 34 off just 20 balls, peppering the innings with two boundaries and two sixes.

While fans and pundits marveled at the audacity and composure displayed by someone so young, his childhood coach Manish Jha wasn’t the least bit surprised. For him, this was vintage Vaibhav.

“He’s (Vaibhav) a player of natural instincts,” Jha stated in an interview, “He’s quite attacking in his approach. He’s someone who likes to dominate bowlers and loves playing his shots. He never feels any pressure and never shuns his natural game. Generally, kids feel some pressure when facing seniors, but Vaibhav has this unique quality where he gets under pressure. We’ve already seen it in domestic matches but now everyone has seen it in IPL too.”

From domestic pitches to the grand IPL stage, Vaibhav has made the leap with incredible poise. As the youngest player to ever feature in the tournament, his debut innings suggests that this is just the beginning of an extraordinary journey.

Aamir Khan Reveals Important Details About His Dream Project, Mahabharat

Aamir Khan has never hidden his ambition to bring The Mahabharat to life on screen. Over the years, his vision for adapting the ancient epic has sparked numerous speculations, often followed by silence. Now, the project appears to be moving closer to reality, with the actor offering new insights during an interview

Describing the film as one of his biggest dreams, Aamir revealed that he plans to begin work on the project this year. “I’m hoping to start work on this year,” he said, indicating that while momentum is building, the film remains in its early stages. The adaptation will span multiple parts, much like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, as the sheer scale of the Mahabharat demands more than a single film.

Despite the excitement, Aamir cautioned that audiences shouldn’t expect an immediate start to production. “It will take a while because the writing process will take a few years,” he admitted, emphasizing the time and depth required to craft a faithful, immersive narrative.

When asked about his potential role as an actor in the series, Aamir Khan maintained a practical approach. “We’ll see who we should cast based on who’s appropriate for which part,” he said, making it clear that casting decisions will be guided by suitability to the epic’s iconic characters rather than star power.

As for directing, Aamir appears inclined to step back from the director’s chair, acknowledging the project’s massive scale. “I don’t think you can tell the Mahabharat in one film, so it will be multiple films. I am looking at the large scale,” he explained. He also hinted at the possibility of a collaborative approach to direction, noting, “It’s too early to say, but we may need multiple directors.”

While a definitive timeline is still out of reach, Aamir Khan renewed commitment signals that The Mahabharat may finally be shifting from dream to development—slowly, but surely.

Copilot Vision Now Accessible to Everyone on Microsoft Edge

Last week, Microsoft announced that Copilot Vision would be available to all users of the Microsoft Edge browser. Since its initial announcement in December 2024, the business has only made the computer vision-enabled artificial intelligence (AI) function available to Copilot Pro users. The Redmond-based tech behemoth is now making the AI capability available to all Edge browser users. The AI chatbot can help the user with various activities by using Copilot Vision to see the content of web pages.

Everyone Now Has Free Access to Copilot Vision

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman said in a post on X (previously Twitter) that Copilot Vision will now be available to all customers, regardless of whether they have a paid Copilot subscription. “It’ll think out loud with you when you’re browsing online. No more copying, over-explaining, or having trouble putting ideas into words,” Suleyman declared.

Copilot Vision is a real-time computer vision feature similar to the screen-sharing tool in Gemini Live. The Edge browser’s web pages and content are visible to the AI chatbot, which may process them in real-time along with user prompts. Users can use the voice mode option instead of typing what they wish to say.

Microsoft made Copilot Vision an optional feature because certain users may be worried about their data security and privacy. Users can click on this link in the Edge browser and follow the steps to opt in. Vision mode can be accessed by tapping the microphone icon in the Copilot sidebar. A floating bar with a text box and a microphone button will appear in Copilot Vision.

According to Suleyman, Copilot Vision can benefit users in many ways. It can read several reviews and provide the user with a summary. For instance, it can identify whether a couch on a shopping website is “roll arm” or “midcentury modern.” It can also describe visually confusing objects. Using natural language descriptions to discover the appropriate products can also assist users with their buying.

Microsoft stated at launch that customers would have complete control over when to switch it on and off, even after opting in. When deactivated, Copilot Vision is unable to see the user’s screen. Furthermore, the business asserts that at the conclusion of each session, all conversation data—including user prompts, images, and web page content—will be erased. Copilot’s answers are recorded to enhance the business’s security measures.

“It’s Very Safe….,” Saif Ali Khan Finds A Safe Haven Abroad With New Home In Qatar

Saif Ali Khan has expanded his real estate portfolio once again, this time beyond Indian borders. Known for his opulent Pataudi Palace and stylish Bandra apartment, the actor has now invested in a high-end property at The Residences at The St Regis Marsa Arabia Island, The Pearl, in Qatar.

The decision to acquire this luxury home seems deeply personal for Saif, especially in light of recent events. Earlier this year, he was the victim of a violent attack at his Mumbai residence that left him with injuries requiring surgery to remove a knife fragment near his spine. Despite the trauma, Saif returned to work within days, displaying his characteristic resilience. Yet, the incident seems to have influenced his outlook on what a home should offer.

At a press conference hosted by the Alfardan Group, Saif shared what drew him to the Qatari property. “Think of a holiday home or a second home. There are a few things I think of. One is that it’s not very far away and it’s easily accessible. And then the other thing is, the most important thing is that it’s very safe and it feels very good to be there,” he explained.

This new residence is not just a symbol of luxury—it appears to represent a much-needed sense of comfort and security for the actor. As Saif Ali Khan embraces this new chapter, his investment speaks to a growing desire for peace and balance amidst the highs and lows of his busy public life.

Sanjay Dutt’s Sister Priya Dutt Is Upset With His Biopic “Sanju” For This Reason

Sanju, the 2018 biographical drama directed by Rajkumar Hirani, garnered praise from critics and audiences alike, emerging as a major box office success. Yet, for Sanjay Dutt’s sister, politician Priya Dutt, the film left a lingering sense of disappointment. Despite appreciating the film’s impact and Ranbir Kapoor’s acclaimed performance, Priya recently opened up about how the biopic didn’t quite do justice to the complexity of her brother’s life—or the importance of their parents, Sunil Dutt and Nargis.

In an interview, Priya shared that the film felt more like an amalgamation of entertainment and fiction than a true biographical portrayal. According to her, the narrative overly simplified Sanjay’s journey and placed too much emphasis on a singular friend character—who, in reality, was a blend of several people from her brother’s life. She questioned why the story didn’t explore the family dynamic more deeply, especially the profound influence of their parents.

“I also felt that the movie didn’t do justice to, I think, even my mum in the film, or my father. There is a lot that could have been worked on. There was a lot. Even the relationship between the father and son, the way it was—I think a lot more could have been shown,” she said, pointing to the emotional and narrative gaps she observed.

Though she considered reaching out to director Rajkumar Hirani, Priya Dutt ultimately decided against it. Her sense was that the filmmakers had a different vision, one centered purely on Sanjay’s personal experiences. “I was tempted… But I think they had a different concept in mind. I didn’t call him. Their focus was just Sanju, of course, which I get that — and his life. It became a bit of a caricature. Maybe they had to amalgamate too many characters. It’s not what I expected it to be. I think it was more entertainment… I loved Ranbir Kapoor in it. He played Sanju very well. But yeah, I feel it wasn’t really a biopic. It was a film, very entertaining, and included only certain aspects of his life. The intensity was missing.”

When she shared her thoughts with her brother, his response was short and reflective of his usual candid nature. “Now, what?” was all Sanjay Dutt said.

While Sanju succeeded in drawing audiences and sparking conversations, for those closest to the real-life story, it appears some parts of the narrative remain untold—and some emotions, unexpressed.

Harsha Bhogle & Simon Doull Sidelined From KKR Home Matches, Here Is The Reason

Harsha Bhogle & Simon Doull Sidelined From KKR Home Matches, Here Is The Reason

The voices of Harsha Bhogle and Simon Doull have been conspicuously absent from the commentary box during Kolkata Knight Riders’ recent IPL matches at Eden Gardens—and it appears their criticism of the venue’s pitch has played a significant role in their exclusion.

Both commentators had publicly taken issue with the pitch conditions at Eden Gardens, echoing the sentiments of KKR’s captain and coach, who expressed frustration over the lack of spin-friendly tracks, despite playing at home. Their remarks appear to have sparked a strong reaction from the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), which reportedly wrote to the BCCI, requesting that Bhogle and Doull not be assigned commentary duties for any of KKR’s home fixtures.

A CAB official, speaking to PTI, confirmed their absence. “Bhogle and Doull are no longer part of the IPL commentary team for KKR’s home matches. However, the situation might change when Eden hosts the Qualifier 2 and the Final on May 23 and 25,” the official stated.

Simon Doull, on a cricket show, didn’t mince words as he criticized the curator’s approach. “If he (the curator) is not taking heed of what the home team wants… they are paying the stadium fees, they are paying for what’s going on in the IPL. If he’s still not listening, then just move the franchise away. His job is not to pass an opinion on the game. That’s not what he’s paid for,” Doull remarked, suggesting KKR should even consider relocating if their needs weren’t being met.

Bhogle, sharing a similar perspective, voiced his support for KKR’s stance. “If they are playing at home, they should get the kind of tracks that suit their bowlers. I saw something about what the KKR curator has said,” he noted.

According to PTI sources close to Bhogle, the veteran broadcaster has not been scheduled for any KKR matches this season, reinforcing speculation that his candid commentary has led to behind-the-scenes consequences. While the exact decisions lie with IPL’s broadcasters and governing bodies, the incident has reignited discussions around freedom of expression in sports coverage and the influence of franchise politics on neutral voices in the game.
