Yakshagana artistes entertain people despite their hardships and never beg before anyone."

This is a good initiative.
When everyone works together with Patla, the lives of artistes will flourish.

Former Platters band member Sandra Hall goes missing, last seen on Friday in Brooklyn; search under way
Sandra Hall, 80, a former member of the legendary singing group The Platters, has been missing for four days after boarding a subway in Brooklyn, according to police and her family. Hall was last seen around 4 pm on Friday at Atlantic Avenue near the Barclays Center and Atlantic Terminal Mall. She reportedly boarded a train from the station. Her family has expressed deep concern, warning that she suffers from dementia and could be confused or disoriented, as reported by New York Post. 80-year-old former singer goes missing in Brooklyn 'Sandra is more than just our mother; she is a warm, vibrant woman who once brought joy to audiences as part of The Platters,' said her daughter, Star DaSilva. 'We just want to bring her home safely.' The family is following up on a possible sighting in the Bronx, after a tip suggested Hall may have taken the 2 train uptown. 'We contacted the local precinct and now waiting for word. The person with the tip provided an accurate description so I'm feeling confident about it,' DaSilva wrote on Facebook. Hall is described as being about 5 feet 3 inches tall and was last seen wearing gray pants, white sneakers and a pink shirt layered over a white long-sleeve shirt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Walking shoes for elderly people with poor balance OUTLET Shop Now Undo The musical band Platters was formed in 1952.

GTA 6 won't be Rockstar's only big release; here's what else could be coming
(Image via Rockstar) We've been living off GTA 6 hype crumbs for months with trailers, leaks, and release date shifts, but here's the plot twist: Rockstar isn't putting all its eggs in the Vice City basket. Yes, GTA 6 is the star of the show, but the studio's also busy whipping up some other secret dishes. And no, they're not telling us the recipes yet. Rockstar Games is Working on Other Projects Apart from GTA 6 Straight from the mouth of Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, in a recent CNBC chat, Rockstar has 'a lot of other things going on.' Of course, he kept the mystery levels on max, but it's proof that the devs aren't just crunching pixels for GTA 6. Sure, GTA 6 is the 'primary focus,' but history tells us Rockstar is a multitasking beast. Remember how they juggled GTA Online updates while dropping Red Dead Redemption 2? This studio doesn't sleep. Which Other Games Could Be Cooking? Rockstar has a vault of beloved IPs, and fans haven't been shy about asking for their return. Here are the frontrunners for what those 'other things' could be: Bully 2 or a Remake – Fans have been screaming for it since the mid-2000s. Rumors have flared up and died down more times than we can count, but hey… never say never. Red Dead Redemption 2 Next-Gen Upgrade – Sure, it runs on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, but not natively. Imagine an RDR2 with ray tracing, faster load times, and even prettier sunsets. Totally New IP – Rockstar could shock-drop a new franchise. Unlikely? Maybe. But so was GTA Online printing billions. Rockstar Games Is Working On A New Game... (It's Not GTA 6) Don't Expect Reveals Anytime Soon Rockstar originally aimed for Fall 2025, but earlier this year, it pushed the date to May 26, 2026. They're perfectionists, and if they think it needs more time to meet their own god-tier standards, they'll take it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sarah Ferguson breaks her silence about Prince Andrew Cleverst Undo Still, Zelnick says he's 'highly confident' in that date, so fingers crossed it sticks. Why This Is Big News If Rockstar is developing multiple games alongside GTA 6, that means the post-2026 drought might not be as long as the gap between GTA 5 and GTA 6 (a whole twelve years). We could see a steady flow of content instead of waiting another decade for something fresh. GTA 6 might be the headliner, but Rockstar's backstage is busier than we thought. Whether it's a long-awaited sequel, a next-gen glow-up, or a brand-new surprise, the future looks stacked. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

The 33-year-old has been in the entertainment industry forever, making her guest list include a lot of A-list friends, including Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce , Cara Delevingne, Miley Cyrus , and Jennifer Aniston , along with her 'Only Murders in the Building' co-stars, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Meryl Streep. 'Selena is inviting a lot of her famous friends, and some of them need security and special accommodations, and she's a nervous wreck over it,' the report quoted, before adding, 'She wants to get it right and is putting pressure on herself and everyone else involved in the wedding planning.' Chaos, bridesmaids, and maid of honour Moreover, Gomez is yet to decide her bridesmaids and maid of honour, which has put her in worry that someone might get offended if they are not asked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Online Skin Care Consultation - Learn More AskLayers Learn More Undo With her insanely busy schedule, the dress fight has become a nightmare. While Benny Blanco is putting all his efforts into making her calm, the wedding means so much to the bride-to-be that she can't just sit still and do nothing. 'Of course, Selena has a wedding planner with staff, but she's barking out orders and being picky about everything from the wedding theme and colours to the flowers and the music. And then all her flip-flopping isn't helping. It's chaos,' the report concluded.
