Tanvi The Great trailer: Shubhangi plays Anupam Kher's autistic granddaughter who fights all odds to join Indian Army
In the video, Shubhangi plays Tanvi Raina, a woman who is autistic. She lives with her mother Vidya, played by Pallavi, and her grandfather Colonel Pratap Raina. She takes a trip to Lansdowne and her interest in the Indian Army piques. Her father, Samar Raina, played by Karan Tacker, died while serving in the army when she was young. Wanting to fulfil her late father's dream, she decides to join the army.
During the course of her journey, she meets Boman Irani, who plays a fun character. Tanvi's wish to join the army leaves her grandfather in shock. Tanvi approaches Arvind Swami's character, Major Srinivasan, to turn her into a "cheetah" during her training in the army. The trailer then shows Tanvi getting her training as she joins the army.
In the trailer, 21-year-old Tanvi gives her all and more to fulfil her father's unfulfilled dream-- to stand at Siachen, the world's highest battlefield, and salute the Indian flag. Despite societal pushback and institutional barriers against autistic recruits in the military, she becomes determined to fulfil this mission.
Sharing the trailer on Instagram, Farhan wrote, 'In a world that saw her through a different lens, she kept shining with a light that could not be unseen. Her smile awakens hope, her heart builds courage, and her journey inspires us all. And now, she is here to meet you all. She is #TanviTheGreat.' About Tanvi The Great
Directed by Anupam, the film will release on July 18. The film also stars Iain Glen, Jackie Shroff, and M Nasser. The music of the film has been composed by Oscar-winner MM Keeravani. Tanvi The Great is produced by Anupam Kher Studios in collaboration with the NFDC. The global distribution is handled by AA Films, led by Anil Thadani and Excel Entertainment.

Amitabh Bachchan-hosted quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, opened with a silver jubilee celebration, as the show has now successfully completed 25 years and each season adds to its iconic legacy. In Episode 3 last night, Kashish from Delhi, who majored in mathematics, won impressive prize money after playing on the hot seat. Amitabh Bachchan also expressed his joy and wishes for the young woman as she secured enough money to repay her father's debt. Despite the odds, Kashish not only followed her dreams but also helped her family financially. KBC 17 With her confidence and wisdom, Kashish answered many correct questions. She was just 1 question away from 1 crore prize money when she called it quits. Wondering what the tough question was that made her quit? Read on… KBC 17: Kashish stuck at Rs. 1 crore question Kashish, who dreams of making a career in the Indian defense forces, played like a pro in the entire episode. However, she was stuck at the ₹1-crore question. Despite using her revived lifeline 'Sanket Suchak,' which she gained back after the Super Sandook round, Kashish failed to answer this question about the Visigoths. KBC host Amitabh Bachchan also advised Kashish to play the game very carefully and not to do guesswork because sometimes they prove to be wrong. After thinking for a while, Kashish gave up and took home a whopping amount of ₹50 lakh. If you're wondering what the question was, take a look below along with the options. 'Which king of the Visigoths demanded pepper, which ancient Rome usually traded from India, as ransom to lift a siege on the city?' The options were: A) Ludovic, B) Aymeric, C) Alaric, D) Theodoric Any guesses? Well, thankfully, Kashish quit the game because her guess for option B) Aymeric would have been wrong. The correct answer was option C) Alaric. Later, Amitabh Bachchan gave an explanation of how the Romans were obsessed with Indian spices and even traded gold for the exports. Where to watch KBC 17 Kaun Banega Crorepati, or KBC 17, premiered on August 11 with the silver jubilee celebration.

Riddhima Kapoor Sahni spills fitness secrets, lessons learnt from mother Neetu: ‘I have forgotten how to run on a treadmill'
Riddhima Kapoor Sahni recently revealed her fitness secrets, sharing that she has been consistent with her workouts, which her mother, Neetu Kapoor, has always advised her about. 'My mother always tells me, no matter what you do, just be consistent. Don't skip a workout. That's very important. Dedication. Do something that you enjoy, and stick to it. Like in my case, yoga works for me. Someone else may enjoy something else. So do that,' said Riddhima. She also opened up about her consistency with yoga. 'Whoever follows me on Instagram knows that I am very particular, very consistent with yoga. So, I try not to skip a workout. I work out 4-5 times a week. Yoga has been a part of my fitness journey since 2004. I wanted a change. When you are much younger, you want to do many things and try new things like going to the gym or swimming. But after Samara was born, I only stuck to yoga. I didn't do anything else. So, it's yoga, yoga, and only yoga for me. I don't even know how many years it's been that I haven't been to the gym. I think I have also forgotten how to run on a treadmill (laughs)! Jokes apart, I only do yoga,' shared Riddhima in a conversation with Fit Tak. She further shared that she incorporates weights along with yoga because that matters. 'It is very important and necessary that I do weight training as well. Usually, I work out with my bodyweight. That also definitely helps,' shared Riddhima. Dr Yogrishi Vishvketu, global yoga educator, author and founder of Akhanda Yoga Institute, stressed that combining strength training and yoga offers a holistic approach that honours both body and mind. The expert noted that strength training builds bone density, metabolic health, and functional power. 'It's essential for preventing age-related muscle loss and boosting long-term vitality. But alone, it can contribute to misalignments in the spine and joints if not counterbalanced,' said Vishvketu. This is where yoga steps in. 'Not to replace strength work, but to balance it. Through breath-led movement, intentional postures, and nervous system regulation, yoga enhances recovery, improves range of motion, and calms the stress response. It trains the practitioner not just to perform, but to listen,' he said. While strength training offers tangible gains, it's worth remembering that asana practices such as arm balances, boat pose, chair pose, and, in fact, any long-held pose, also build strength, he said. 'But in yoga, strength is cultivated alongside awareness, regulation, spine and brain health, and inner stillness,' said Vishvketu. According to him, the integrative approach reduces injury, sharpens focus, and makes fitness more sustainable.
