Siddharth Anand’s Fighter starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone is one of the most anticipated upcoming films. After dropping a party track, Sher Khul Gaye, the makers of Fighter are all set to drop the film’s second song titled Ishq Jaisa Kuch.

Ishq Jaisa Kuch which seems to be a romantic track will be released on Friday, December 22, 2023. The song is special because it will offer a closer look at Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s chemistry. The anticipation is high, and witnessing Hrithik and Deepika collaborate on a romantic song is expected to be an extraordinary experience.

Sharing the poster of the song on X, Hrithik wrote, “#IshqJaisaKuch. Song out on 22nd December. #Fighter #FighterOn25thJan #FighterMovie.”

The Indian Navy helped in the evacuation of an injured sailor from the hijacked Malta-flagged cargo vessel in the early hours of Monday. The hijackers released the sailor who has now been flown to Oman for treatment, the Navy said.

The injured crew member was reported to be stable, it said in a statement.

“The injured crew member was medically managed onboard the IN ship but due to urgent medical attention required, which was beyond the scope of the ship, he has been transferred ashore at Oman,” the Navy said.

The Indian Navy’s warship has been tracking MV Ruen since Saturday when it indicated that six “pirates” had illegally boarded it in the Arabian Sea. The Indian Navy had swiftly responded to a call for help and its warship on anti-piracy patrol in the Gulf of Aden was deployed to locate and assist MV Ruen.

The Navy said its aircraft flew over the hijacked vessel and its movement was being monitored. The vessel is now headed towards the coast of Somalia, it said.

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday classified the JN.1 coronavirus strain as a “variant of interest”, but said it did not pose much threat to public health.

“Based on the available evidence, the additional global public health risk posed by JN.1 is currently evaluated as low,” WHO said.

JN.1 was previously classified as a variant of interest as a part of its parent lineage BA.2.86.

The United Nations agency said current vaccines continue to protect against severe disease and death from JN.1 and other circulating variants of the COVID-19 virus.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier this month said that the subvariant JN.1 makes up about an estimated 15% to 29% of cases in the United States as of Dec. 8, according to the agency’s latest projections.

It added that currently there is no evidence that JN.1 presents an increased risk to public health relative to other currently circulating variants and an updated shot could keep Americans protected against the variant.

JN.1 was first detected in the US in September, according to the CDC.

Last week, China detected seven infections of the COVID subvariant.
