Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has worked with Salman Khan in a few films including Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. A lesser-known fact is that the actress almost played the actor’s sister in a movie.

An old interview from 2018 featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has gone viral. During the conversation, she shared that Salman Khan and Aamir Khan were in talks to star in Josh. The film featured Aishwarya and Shah Rukh Khan as siblings.

She further shared that she had no apprehensions about playing Shah Rukh Khan’s on-screen sister. The two had starred opposite each other in Mohabbatein which was released weeks before Josh in the same year.

Josh was released in 2000 and was a success at the box office.

The Indian cricket team is ready for the ICC Cricket World Cup semifinal scheduled for November 15th (Wednesday) against New Zealand. Both teams head into the match with a 50/50 chance of victory, showcasing their evenly matched strengths. However, India’s overall tournament performance and growing confidence make them the stronger favorites this time around compared to their 2019 World Cup semi-final encounter.

While India will look to wipe away the pain of Manchester 2019, where they were eliminated from the semis by the New Zealanders, Rohit Sharma’s boys are unlikely to do it with a sense of revenge. It’s more for the purpose of reaching the final than retribution.

That was not the only time the Kiwis had broken India’s heart. Virat Kohli’s men had lost another big final to New Zealand-the 2021 World Test Championship Final.

While there is undeniably a sense of heartache, there’s a noticeable absence of resentment despite an upcoming clash against the same opponents. However, the anxiety of Indian cricket fans is palpable, and it is finding expression on social media through a continuous meme-fest that is anticipated to persist until the conclusion of the semifinal with a positive outcome for Team India.

Social media is abuzz with a plethora of memes, fact sheets, and score-comparing statistics as fans gear up for the highly anticipated India vs. New Zealand semi-final clash. Fans are eagerly sharing their predictions and analyses, creating a lively and engaging online atmosphere.

The anxiety stems from the fact that India has faced defeat in their past four knockout matches against New Zealand in various formats. But India’s fans will be banking on the fact that in the last three ODI World Cups, New Zealand has been eliminated by the country hosting the tournament.

Two months after she was discharged from a hospital, former Congress president Sonia Gandhi is shifting to Jaipur temporarily till the air quality improves in Delhi. Ms Gandhi suffers from respiratory problems and doctors have advised her to temporarily move to a place where the air quality is better. 

The Air Quality Index for Delhi on Tuesday was 375, which is in the ‘severe’ category, while the figure for Jaipur was 72, which is in the ‘moderate’ category, according to private air quality monitoring website aqi.in.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is addressing rallies in various states where the assembly elections will be held later this year, will visit Ms Gandhi in Jaipur on Tuesday night before heading to Chhattisgarh on Wednesday. He will go back to Jaipur and continue with his scheduled rallies in the state on Thursday.

Ms Gandhi had been admitted to Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in September after showing symptoms of fever and had been discharged a day later. She had also been admitted to a hospital in January because of respiratory issues.

This is not the first time that the former Congress president has had to move to another city to avoid the pollution in Delhi. In the winter of 2020, Ms Gandhi had gone to Goa on the advice of her doctors.
