The Kapoor family got together for a fun-filled Ganesh Chaturthi celebration on Sunday. Present at the festivities were all the family members including Kareena Kapoor Khan with her sons Taimur and Jeh, Randhir and Babita Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor and others. The highlight was Ranbir Kapoor posing with his daughter Raha.

Karisma Kapoor took to her social media handle to share photos from the family’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. One photo shows Ranbir holding his daughter Raha and looking at her lovingly.

Check it out here:

Raha can be seen wearing a green ethnic outfit while Ranbir wore a yellow kurta.

Kareena can be seen holding her youngest son Jeh while Taimur looks on. As usual, Jeh did not stay still for the family photo. Kareena opted for a yellow salwar suit while her sons twinned in grey.

Karisma looked lovely in a black ensemble. Babita and Randhir Kapoor joined her. Randhir’s sister Reema Jain also joined the celebrations with Armaan and Aadar Jain.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were seen arriving at the airport with their daughter Raha. The family left for a holiday after celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi. They were joined by Neetu Kapoor at the airport.

Alia Bhatt was seen wearing a denim jacket. She carried Raha in her arms. The little munchkin waved at the paparazzi and smiled. Ranbir was by their side wearing a green monochrome look. As they made their way through the entrance, Neetu Kapoor joined them. Raha’s reaction was priceless.

The Mamata Banerjee government has extended its fifth invitation for talks to junior doctors protesting over the rape-murder of a 31-year-old medico at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The junior doctors have refused to rejoin work till justice is served in the heinous case and several top officials are shunted out. Earlier meetings between the state government and the doctors were called off due to disagreements on several issues, such as live-streaming.

In an email to the protesting doctors, Chief Secretary Manoj Pant said that the doctors must resume their duties, as per the Supreme Court’s September 9 directive.

“This is the fifth and final time we are reaching out to you for a meeting between the Honourable Chief Minister and your delegates. In line with our discussion from the day before, we are once again inviting you to a meeting with the Honourable Chief Minister at her Kalighat residence for a discussion with an open mind,” the letter states.

The chief secretary underlined that the meeting cannot be videographed or live-streamed — the point on which the earlier meeting fell through on Saturday.

“We trust that good sense will prevail, and as mutually agreed and as per your statement to the media day before – there will be no live streaming or videography of the meeting, given that the matter is sub judice in the highest court of the country. Instead, the minutes of the

meeting will be recorded and signed by both parties,” the email adds.

“The meeting is scheduled for 5 PM today ie 16th September 2024 at Hon’ble Chief Minister’s Kalighat residence. The same delegation which came for the last discussions is requested to arrive at the venue at 4:45 PM today. We look forward to your positive response and a productive and fruitful discussion,” it says.

Earlier meetings planned between the Chief Minister and the junior doctors led to dramatic scenes. On September 12, the doctors went to the state secretariat Nabanna to meet Ms Banerjee, but refused to join the meeting after they were told the proceedings could not be live-streamed. Visuals of Ms Banerjee waiting for the junior doctors went viral and she said she had waited for two hours.

Another meeting was planned on Saturday after the Chief Minister’s surprise visit to the doctors’ protest site at the state health secretariat. The junior doctors reached her residence at 6.45 pm. Again, the doctors’ demand for live-streaming and officials’ refusal proved to be the roadblock. The medicos waited outside the Chief Minister’s home in the rain. They demanded that they be allowed to videograph the meeting. The state government refused this and said it would record the meeting and the recording would be provided to the doctors later because the matter is sub-judice.

Ms Banerjee came out and invited the doctors inside. “You can trust me, I won’t mislead you. Even if you do not attend the meeting, at least have a cup of tea.” She also said the doctors are “insulting” her. The doctors stressed that they wanted the recording. She then said I “cannot accept all your demands”. Later that night, the doctors decided to join the meeting but state minister Chandrima Bhattacharya and chief secretary Manoj Pant told them it was too late.
