One fisherman was killed and another went missing after their boat collided with the Sri Lankan navy ship near Katchatheevu Island in Tamil Nadu’s Rameswaram.
Michael Voltaggio, the popular chef and former Top Chef champion, welcomed his third child in June, a significant milestone given that it happened after two decades. Voltaggio, 45, is embracing a new approach to parenting that reflects both his personal maturation and his expanding duties.
Voltaggio spoke about his experience since the birth of his first child in 1999, noting that his life has changed dramatically. The passage of time has resulted in a better understanding of parenthood and a deeper appreciation for the difficulties and rewards of raising children. This shift in his parenting approach occurs as he juggles a demanding work schedule, including various job assignments and projects.
Voltaggio makes intriguing comparisons between his professional background in cooking and his experiences as a parent, in addition to his role as a father. His vast experience working in high-stress restaurant settings and on reality cooking shows like Top Chef has given him special insights into how to balance his personal and professional lives.
In a recent interview at MGM National Harbour in Maryland’s Voltaggio Steak House, Michael Voltaggio talked about how his years of experience have benefited him in his present role. He claimed that his past experience had better equipped him to manage the introduction of the new menu and that this experience was comparable to working with his brother Bryan at their restaurants.
In addition, Michael discussed his role as a dad to Echo, the newborn baby that he and his wife Bria recently welcomed. He said that he feels more prepared now and that his perspective on parenting has changed from when he had his first child. This demonstrates how his experiences have helped in his professional and personal growth.
Michael talks about the important lessons he and his ex-wife, Kerri Voltaggio-Trout, have learned from their older children, Olivia (25) and Sophia (20). He acknowledges that they have been candid with him regarding his parenting style. Michael admits that he has given their criticism—both the good and the bad—a lot of thought.
He has sought advice from his daughters on how he may have been a better father and recognizes that he wants to avoid making the same mistakes twice. Michael is aware that his kids value his time more than material goods. He felt that he was carrying out his parental duty by putting in a lot of work and making a good living. But he now understands how much more important it is to spend quality time with his kids.
Michael feels guilty for not spending more time with his kids. He comes to the conclusion that spending time with loved ones is more important than having material belongings, making it the most important lesson he has learned.

The first collaboration of Ajay Devgn and Neeraj Pandey, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, is all set to hit the big screen on August 2, 2024. Touted to be a romantic thriller, the film features Ajay with Tabu, Saiee Manjrekar and Shantanu Maheshwari in key roles. The film has been U/A by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with an approved run time of 2 hours and 25 minutes (145 minutes).
Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is being released in India by Pen Marudhar and is expected to be released on 2000 screens in India. The advance bookings for Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha opened on Wednesday and the response is not up to the mark. As on Thursday at 12.30 PM, the Ajay Devgn and Tabu film has sold 2500 tickets in the top 3 national chains, PVRInox and Cinepolis, and the movie is headed to close its pre-sales around the 7500 ticket marks.
The pre-sales of Auron Mein Kahan Dum are at par with the Akshay Kumar film Sarfira, and this spells a dull picture for the film as far as the opening is concerned. The first-day business of Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is expected to be around the Rs 2.50 crore mark, though the walk-in audience through the day could push the film towards the Rs 3 crore number if the reports are positive. The film is released with flat Rs 150 off incentive, but at this point of time, the offer has little impact to draw the audience to the cinema halls. However, the offer could draw some walk-in audience.
The hope is on Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha to record a good word of mouth and show 2x multiplication on Saturday and Sunday, but that’s a lot to expect given how things are at the moment. In an ideal world, this Ajay Devgn and Tabu film should have opened around the Rs 6 to 7 crore mark and then show a trend of sorts over the 2 weeks to reach a respectable number, but things are not in its favor in the pre-sales for opening day.
The start of Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha should be similar to Sarfira (2.50 crore) and Selfiee (2.50 crore), with an outside chance of hitting the biz of Runway 34 (3.05 crore). The intense musical love story genre with stars like Ajay Devgn and Tabu could have a wider appeal than Sarfira and Selfiee in the single screens, but that won’t change the fate of the start. Not much was expected from Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha given the dull trailer and not-so-popular music album, so this fate won’t come as a shock for the industry. Thankfully, Ajay Devgn follows up this Neeraj Pandey film with Singham Again and Raid 2, both of which are expected to embark onto a solid start at the box office. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
