The celebrated singer reflected on a pivotal moment early in her musical journey — a moment that was shaped by none other than the late ghazal maestro, Jagjit Singh. She recalled how a seemingly harsh comment from Jagjit Singh, where he had said that the 'chamak in her voice is missing" (the spark in her voice), shook her deeply, but eventually became the catalyst for her transformation as an singer.

Rupali Ganguly Spends Time With Stray Dogs On Anupamaa Sets, Says 'Yeh Desh Inka Bhi Hai'
Last Updated: Rupali Ganguly's love for dogs is not a secret. The actress looks after over 15 dogs even on the sets of her show, Anupamaa, in Mumbai's Film City. The Supreme Court's decision to remove all community dogs from Delhi-NCR and keep them in shelter homes has sparked a massive debate on social media. While several celebrities have come out condemning the apex court's decision, Rupali Ganguly took to her Instagram handle on Tuesday evening and dropped a video in which she was seen spending time with her pet dogs on the sets of Anupama. 'Ye Desh inka bhi hai. Ye dharti inki bhi hai. Sab log saath mein ek saath rehte hai na. Be kind," she said in the video. Rupali also added the same words in the caption of her video and added, 'Compassion and Kindness over hatred and cruelty 🙏🏻." Check it out here: Rupali Ganguly's love for dogs is not a secret. The actress looks after over 15 dogs even on the sets of her show, Anupamaa, in Mumbai's Film City and often shares photos and videos with them on social media. Previously, in an interview with News18 Showsha, Rupali talked about how important it is to feed stray dogs. Watch the conversation here: Rupali Ganguly Criticises Supreme Court's Decision Earlier today, the Anupamaa star took to her X handle and penned down a long note, criticising SC's decision. She mentioned that by shifting dogs to shelter homes, we aren't showing any kindness but are only putting them in exile. 'In our traditions, dogs guard Bhairav Baba's temple and are fed on Amavasya for blessings. They've grown up on our streets, guarding shops, waiting outside our doors, barking away thieves," Rupali wrote. 'If we remove them now, we risk losing our protectors before the real dangers arrive, like silencing an alarm before a fire. Sending them to far-off shelters isn't kindness, it's exile. Stray dogs aren't outsiders; they're part of our faith, our culture, our safety. Care for them, vaccinate them, feed them and let them live where they belong. #straydogs," the actress added. What Is The Supreme Court Order About Stray Dogs In Delhi? The Supreme Court on Monday ordered that all stray dogs in Delhi and the NCR must be caught within eight weeks and kept in special shelters that civic authorities will set up. The court made it clear that once a dog is caught, it will not be released back onto the streets. A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan gave these directions while hearing a case taken up on its own about the rising number of stray dog attacks. The judges also said that anyone who tries to stop the authorities from carrying out the capture will face contempt of court action. The court further ordered that a helpline must be started in Delhi-NCR to report dog bite cases. If a complaint is made, the dog involved must be caught within four hours.

Ranveer Singh To Team Up With Aditya Dhar For Another Action Drama: Report
Their first film Dhurandhar is going to release later this year. The first look teaser has already released. Ranveer Singh is reportedly set to collaborate with Aditya Dhar for another high-octane action drama. According to industry reports, the project is currently in the development stage. However, an official confirmation is not made till now. This will be the second time Ranveer and Aditya will work together. Their first film Dhurandhar is going to release later this year. The first look teaser has already released. Mid-day has quoted a source saying, 'Dhurandhar is the first collaboration between Ranveer and Aditya. In the course of making the thriller, both realised that they share the same hunger for pushing the envelope, especially when it comes to large-scale action movies. Given their similar creative sensibilities, they are keen to reunite." The source adds, 'They are focused on the ongoing schedule of Dhurandhar, which will run till mid-October. Aditya will begin building on the idea for his next from March 2026, while Ranveer will move to Don 3. If everything goes as planned, they will take it on floors by 2026-end." Dharandhar First look: Ranveer Singh has unleashed his wrath in the first look from his upcoming film, directed by Aditya Dhar. Along with the promo, Dhurandhar's release date was also announced. While Ranveer has experimented with diverse roles throughout his career, this film seems different from anything he has done so far. Ranveer Singh looks menacing in the first look from Dhurandhar. The actor, in long hair and a smoke in his mouth, kills and beats in style, like it's no task. With upbeat music in the backdrop, the film offers a glimpse into the violence and gore in store. Apart from Ranveer, makers have also dropped first looks of the film's other leading cast, comprising Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna. Arjun Rampal, who is one of the key characters in the film, looked intriguing in a never-seen-before rugged avatar, sporting a golden tooth, vintage metallic shades, dense grey beard and classic raw expressions. The film's leading leady, Tamil actor Sara Arjun, was also introduced. The 2-minute 40-second first look is a raw and relentless visual onslaught, blending mystery, grit, and high-octane action. This powerful composition is created by Shashwat, featuring vocals by Jasmine Sandlas and a special collaboration with Hanumankind. Hanumankind, the acclaimed new-age artist known for his distinctive, genre-blending style, brings an unexpected edge to the track. 'An Inferno will rise Uncover the true story of The Unknown Men," read the caption on his post. The release of Dhurandhar was also unveiled – December 5, 2025. Don 3: News18 Showsha was the first one to report that Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani have roped in Ranveer Singh to play the titular character in Don 3. The baton was passed on to the Ram-Leela and Padmaavat actor from superstar Shah Rukh Khan and while many felt that the former won't be able to do justice to the part, others were excited to see Ranveer in this brand new role. Having said that, an announcement video featuring Ranveer was unveiled in 2023, which created a lot of ripples. The film, which was supposed to go on floors last year, went on to face multiple delays due to a variety of reasons. One of them being Farhan kick-starting the shoot of 120 Bahadur. Keeping up with his commitment to the makers of the film, he wanted to wrap it up before taking Don 3 to the floors.
