This 3 hour 7 minute film changed the lives of three actors, one was a background dancer, was banned in Pakistan, film is…, lead actors are…
This film shows the story of the struggle of former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and winning the World Cup in 2011, and Sushant Singh Rajput played the iconic role of Captain Cool in the film. Disha Patani and Kiara Advani were also seen in the film with him. While Kiara played the role of MS Dhoni's real-life wife, Sakshi Singh Dhoni, Disha Patani was seen in the role of his ex-girlfriend Priyanka Jha. Background dancer's luck shines
Released in 2016, this film was released on 1000 screens. It was released in India as well as internationally in America, Canada, the UK, South Asia, South Africa, and Europe, but this film was not released in Pakistan. Made in a budget of 104 crores, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story was a huge hit at the box office and did a business of more than 2015 crores. This collection was even more surprising because Sushant Singh Rajput, who entered the film world from TV, was in the lead role in it; he used to be a background dancer too. Sushant Singh Rajput's death
Sushant Singh Rajput was born on 21 January 1986 in Patna and started his career as a background dancer. After this, he worked in TV serials and became famous in every household by playing the character of Manav in 'Pavitra Rishta'. He entered the film world with 'Kai Po Che' in 2013 and shone with his first film itself. In this film, actors like Rajkumar Rao and Amit Sadh were in the lead role with him.
After this, he appeared in films like Shuddh Desi Romance, PK, and Detective Byomkesh Bakshi. But the success of MS Dhoni: The Untold Story brought him to a different level. On June 14, 2021, Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai apartment, which shocked his fans.

Ghevar goes global, thanks to MasterChef Australia contestant Depinder Chhibber: ‘She pulled the boss recipe'
Ghevar, originating from Rajasthan's Jaipur, has been a beloved sweet for centuries. It is deeply rooted in Rajasthani culture and is considered one of the state's most iconic desserts. During the latest season of the popular culinary reality television show MasterChef Australia, Indian origin chef Depinder Chhibber made ghevar for the judges. Calling it the 'Indian honeycomb', Chhibber, who made it to the competition's Top 4, brought the Indian delicacy to global attention. 'It's literally just pastry, so it's beautiful, crispy, crunchy, but very tricky to make,' she shared during the show. 'The oil has to be very hot, and the actual batter has to be ice cold. Add the chilled batter to the oil. You get that splattering, that's what builds that honeycomb texture,' Chhibber further added. Excited netizens did not hold back when it came to sharing their admiration with comments like: 'She pulled the boss recipe,' 'What perfect timing for a ghewar to be telecasted,' 'Iconic. Legendary. Authentically Indian. Rooting for you, Depinder. Get it home,' and 'This one is toughest to make but so delicious.' reached out to a culinary expert to learn about the fascinating history of this sweet delicacy. According to celebrity chef Ananya Banerjee, the sweet has royal connections – often prepared in the kitchens of Rajasthani maharajas and has been passed down through generations of traditional sweet makers called halwais. 'The name 'ghevar' is believed to come from the Sanskrit word 'ghrita' (ghee) combined with 'vat' (round), referring to its circular, ghee-rich preparation,' she said. Banerjee detailed that preparing ghevar is an art form that requires considerable skill: All-purpose flour (maida) Ghee (clarified butter) Cold water or milk Ice cubes 'The key is the temperature contrast between the cold batter and hot ghee, which creates the distinctive porous, disc-like structure,' said the chef. Banerjee shared that several factors make ghevar a monsoon specialty. 'The monsoon season coincides with important festivals like Teej and Raksha Bandhan in Rajasthan, and these festivals celebrate the arrival of rains and are particularly significant for women. Major Rajasthani festivals fall during this period, creating natural demand,' she said. According to her, ghevar is traditionally prepared and exchanged during these celebrations, as it is customary for married women to receive ghevar from their parents' homes during Teej. 'Another reason for their popularity during this season is that fresh ingredients like milk for rabri topping are more than readily available during the monsoon,' she added.

Young Indian brigades summer explosion in England narrows the path of seniors Kohli, Rohit
Bengaluru, Aug 5 (PTI) India holding England to a 2-2 draw in the fiercely-fought Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy was a celebration of a new crop of cricketers' self-belief and fearlessness to put their body on the line for the country and the team. Mohammed Siraj bowled close to 200 overs, dragging his knackered body through five Tests, Washington Sundar never took a backward step, Yashasvi Jaiswal contributed when it mattered the most, Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna were all heart and Sai Sudharsan gave fleeting glimpses of his long-term utility. But this coming of age effort has another dimension to it. Where does it leave the venerable seniors such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, who have retired from T20Is and ODIs, and Jasprit Bumrah, whose injury-prone body needs careful handling? Kohli is 36 and Rohit is 38, and they will possibly be seen in action next during the away three-match ODI series against Australia, followed by another three one-dayers at home against South Africa. Thereafter they have a chance to appear in six ODIs against New Zealand (home) and England (away) between January-July 2026. But is that a good enough build up to keep them ready for the 50-over World Cup in 2027 in South Africa? Will the distinguished duo have the desire to continue that long on the back of just one format and the IPL? "Yes, it will be discussed soon. We still have more than two years for the next World Cup (November 2027). Both Kohli and Rohit will be pushing 40 by then, so, there has to be a clear plan ahead for the big event as our last win was in 2011. We also need to try out a few youngsters in time,' a source indicated to PTI. Though they went out of the T20Is basking in the glory of a World Cup win in 2024, both Kohli and Rohit had to make a rather silent retirement from Tests. So, will the former captains be allowed to choose a place and time on their own to move out or will they be phased out with future in mind? "Look, both Kohli and Rohit have made huge contributions to white ball cricket for the team and the sport in general. They have achieved almost everything. "So, I don't think nobody's going to force their hand, but there will be some honest and professional conversations before the next ODI cycle starts to see where they stand mentally and physically. It depends on that,' he added. The other issue is the lack of match time for Kohli and Rohit as they have not appeared in any matches since the Champions Trophy in March early this year, and there are no domestic white ball competitions prior to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20s in November followed by the Vijay Hazare Trophy in December. As per the existing BCCI diktat, a player cannot skip domestic matches when he is fully fit, and a non-compliance can lead to omission from national squads. Even though the stature that Kohli and Rohit enjoy might just give them an exemption, if it comes to that. But Bumrah offers a different case, as the physios have laid out a certain roadmap for his international future which saw him playing only in three Tests in England. Many feel that the time has come to chalk out a definite plan on how to utilise the premier pacer. "There is no question on the value that he brings to the side. But the management and board need to discuss how to use him — as an all format bowler or should he be asked to concentrate only on one or two formats,' a former player, who has seen Bumrah from close quarters, told PTI. 'Siraj, Akash Deep and Prasidh have shown us that they can win Tests for India. Let's back them fully. We have two important tournaments (T20 and ODI WC) coming our way, and we need Bumrah ready for them. For home matches (vs West Indies, SA), we have Washi and Kuldeep along with Jadeja, and Bumrah's role will not be that big here. "So, if you ask me, he should be asked to focus more on white ball formats for now as there are enough T20s and one-dayers for him to play in the next two years. Yeah, IPL too is there. It's better to have him play all matches in one format rather than him playing a few matches in all formats. It adds value to the team," he noted.
