Manu Bhaker Continues To Shine
Ace shooter Manu Bhaker was recently seen having the time of her life in Goa. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Bhaker dropped some photos of her vacation in the iconic holiday spot. Sharing some of her most memorable moments in Goa, she wrote, "Dil Chahta Hai, another girls trip with my gang! First trip with them, made so many memories.." she wrote.For the unversed, she was referring to the hit field trip film that starred Aamir Khan, Akshaye Khanna and Saif Ali Khan. The Farhan Akhtar directorial has become a cult classic over time.At the recent ISSF World Cup 2025 in Lima, Peru, all eyes were on Olympian Manu Bhaker as she returned to the shooting range after her successful outing at the Paris 2024 Olympics . A consistent performer and one of India's most decorated shooters, Manu was expected to dominate the women's 10m air pistol event. However, the competition delivered a surprising twist when Haryana's rising star, Suruchi Singh, edged past her to clinch the gold medal.Despite delivering a strong performance, Manu had to settle for silver. Suruchi's precise shooting and unshakable composure throughout the final proved too strong even for the seasoned Olympian. While this result marked a breakthrough moment for Suruchi, it also underlined Manu Bhaker's enduring presence on the global shooting stage—still in podium contention and still a force to be reckoned with.Manu's silver in Lima comes after she narrowly missed a medal in the Buenos Aires leg of the World Cup earlier. It was a tough result, particularly considering the high expectations following her double bronze medal performance at the Paris Olympics. Nevertheless, her return to the podium in Lima reaffirms her resilience and competitiveness in a sport that demands both precision and mental strength.Her career has been one of remarkable highs and learning curves. Manu Bhaker's Olympic journey began with disappointment in Tokyo 2021, where a malfunctioning pistol and a series of misfortunes denied her a shot at the finals. But she bounced back stronger than ever, scripting history in Paris by becoming the first Indian woman shooter to win two medals in a single edition of the Olympics. Her bronze in the women's individual 10m air pistol event not only opened India's medal tally in Paris but also made her the country's first female Olympic medalist in shooting. She followed it up with another bronze in the 10m air pistol mixed team event, partnering with Sarabjot Singh.Manu's grit was on full display during her final Olympic event—the 25m pistol shooting competition—where she narrowly missed out on what could have been a historic third medal, finishing just outside the podium at fourth. Even without the third medal, her Paris campaign cemented her legacy as one of India's most successful and determined shooting talents.Her performances reflect not just technical prowess but an unwavering mental discipline built over years of setbacks and comebacks. Manu's journey, from humble beginnings to becoming a national icon, continues to inspire young athletes across India. With her recent silver in Lima, she has once again proven that she remains in top form and is still one of India's best hopes in global shooting competitions.

Deepika Padukone NOT Dropped from Kalki 2, Sources Deny Fallout Rumours
Last Updated: Deepika Padukone has not been dropped from Kalki 2, say sources. The film is still in pre-production and casting has yet to begin. No on-set fallout occurred. Amid swirling rumours that Deepika Padukone has been dropped from Kalki 2, sources close to the film have categorically denied any such development. The buzz, which gained traction online over the past few days, claimed that Deepika had a fallout with the film's team and co-star Prabhas—a claim insiders are now calling 'completely baseless." The truth? Kalki 2 hasn't even begun filming yet. According to sources, the much-anticipated sequel is still in the pre-production phase and no official casting has been locked in. 'They haven't even approached actors because it's still in development," a source told NDTV, debunking the theory that Deepika was dropped due to 'on-set friction." As another insider pointed out, 'There's been no shoot, no interaction, and therefore, no fallout." The speculation appears to be an extension of earlier reports involving Deepika's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit. Rumours suggested the actor had demanded 8-hour workdays, a higher salary, and a share in profits—conditions that reportedly did not sit well with the filmmaker. Adding fuel to the fire, Vanga shared cryptic posts on X (formerly Twitter) criticizing actors for wanting 'luxury," which many assumed was a dig at Deepika. The situation escalated when Triptii Dimri, fresh off her success in Animal, was announced as the lead in Spirit. While Dimri confirmed her casting with a grateful Instagram post, the timing led many to conclude that Deepika had been replaced. As for Kalki 2, no such decision has been made. The rumour mill may be churning overtime, but for now, Deepika's involvement remains a matter of speculation—one not supported by any official word or concrete development. Until the film moves forward, one thing remains clear: there's no drama where there's no shoot. First Published: June 06, 2025, 16:14 IST
