Mokaev faces Assis as 971FC gears up for blockbuster fight card
971FC, the UAE's fastest-growing fight promotion, takes the Coca-Cola Arena by storm on Saturday, for a landmark night of international combat sports and entertainment. With 14 explosive bouts, elite fighters in the main and co-main events, and a headline live performance by hip-hop legend Lloyd Banks, this is more than a fight night – it's a cultural event. This event is officially sold out, marking it as one of the most anticipated sporting spectacles of the year. The spotlight shines bright as Muhammad Mokaev faces off against Thomas Assis in the main event, a thrilling bantamweight bout set to headline an action-packed fight night. In a major shakeup, undefeated British-Dagestani phenom Mokaev (14-0) faces off against Brazilian submission expert with an 11-fight win streak Assis (12-2). A former IMMAF world champion and UFC veteran, Mokaev is known for his relentless pressure and Olympic-level wrestling. Assis, who hails from Coari in Brazil and trains out of RCT Coari, is riding a win streak and brings a gritty, aggressive grappling style that promises a chess match on the ground. Russian powerhouse and sambo technician Raimond Magomedaliev (10-2) returns to action, looking to impose his dominant top game against seasoned Brazilian striker Andrey 'Mineiro' Augusto (17-9-1) in the co-main event. Augusto is known for his durability and knockout power and will look to test the Russian's chin and composure under fire.

Kajol introduces her unconventional besties this National Bestfriend Day
Actress Kajol decided to introduce the netizens to her unconventional best friends this National Bestfriend Day on Sunday. Kajol revealed that her friends — her coffee, her crochet, and her books have a hard time understanding social media, and hence she could not upload a photo with them. 'I couldn't get any pictures coz I was spending time with my best friends, and they really don't get social coffee, my crochet, and my books! #NationalBestfriendDay.' Kajol penned on social media. On more than one occasion, Kajol has been seen kitting and reading books whenever she gets a chance. Kajol, who will next be seen in the upcoming film 'Maa', corrected actor R. Madhavan that she is not a 'big prankster' and it's her actor-filmmaker husband Ajay Devgn. On Wednesday, the makers of the film took to YouTube and dropped a video, where Kajol and Madhavan were seen having a conversation about the film, which is scheduled to release on June 27. In the video, Madhavan was seen telling Kajol: 'Everyone knows that you're a big prankster.' Denying the hilarious claim, Kajol said: 'No, you're mistaking me for Ajay Devgn. Not at all.' Madhavan asked Kajol if she is the serious kind on the set, to which Kajol responded that she is ' very serious on set' and then added with a laugh that she is 'kind and humble on set.' Madhavan then asked Kajol if she has 'ever scared a director out of your kindness and humility by completely memorising all your lines and all the other characters' lines, going completely prepared and sitting there stoically and waiting for the shot?' Kajol said: 'Never would I do that to myself. I never do it to myself. If you want to scare the director, there are many other things to scare him. But, no.' The actress turned the same question to Madhavan and said: 'You are also a very, very prepared actor, as we know. I mean, you've brought a box of ladoos early in the morning to scare the director on set.' Madhavan said: 'Nobody has touched it, I know. I want to tell you that. I've to change my strategy right now, right? I'll have to change the ladoos. I'll bring barfi next time. are necessary sometimes.' Asked if he is one of those people who does not believe in a script, Madhavan said: 'The lines are written, but we'll do whatever needs to be done......' Kajol asked: 'And you don't interfere?' 'I mean, I fight a lot before reaching the set... With the director and everything. Whatever arguments, whatever takes place.' Kajol then asked: 'So, you've decided that you're going to fight with everybody before...' To which, he said: 'Yes, before and for the sake of the film. But, on the set, I've learned from Ajay sir and everybody... ...that you have to have only one director. So, put your argument vehemently. Then, I'll do whatever he says.' Indo-Asian News Service

How TV and video content reflect and shape societal trends
TV and video content do more than entertain – they participate in a powerful cultural feedback loop. What society values, questions, or fears often finds its way into the content we consume. In turn, that content influences public opinion, behaviour and culture. This dynamic exchange between media and society is constant and evolving, with creators and audiences shaping each other in real time. Below is a breakdown of how TV and video content both reflect and shape societal trends. Reflecting societal trends TV and video often serve as a mirror to society, revealing what we care about, what we're debating and how our identities are shifting. Real-world issues in storytelling: Contemporary storytelling often draws from real-world concerns. Documentaries and dramas address urgent issues – When They See Us explores systemic racism and police brutality, while Taare Zameen Par sheds light on mental health and learning disabilities. These stories echo public discourse and deepen social awareness. Generational trends and digital culture: The rise of YouTube, TikTok and other participatory platforms reflects a shift toward democratised media. Audiences no longer just consume content – they create it. This shift mirrors our culture's move toward individual expression, authenticity and instant connection. Shaping societal trends While content reflects society, it also actively shapes it – guiding how we think, what we value and how we behave. Setting norms and aspirations: TV shows influence cultural expectations and lifestyle choices. Sex and the City, for instance, redefined urban single life and consumer culture for an entire generation. Home renovation shows influence how people view personal space and home-ownership. Language, fashion and pop aesthetics: TV and video are major trendsetters. Catchphrases, fashion styles and makeup looks often go viral after appearing in a popular series. Shows such as Euphoria and Stranger Things have shaped youth fashion, music and visual culture across social platforms. Shaping political and social perspectives: Satirical news programmes such as The Daily Show or Last Week Tonight don't just entertain – they inform and persuade. They help frame political events for a younger, often more sceptical audience. Meanwhile, political dramas such as House of Cards influence public perception of government and leadership. Feedback loop between media and society In today's digital world, the relationship between media and society is more interactive than ever. Audiences are no longer passive viewers – they're active participants. Real-time reactions and content evolution: Social media has revolutionised how audiences respond to content. Viewer feedback – whether praise, critique, or backlash – reaches creators instantly. This immediacy has led to real-time adjustments in casting, storytelling and tone. Influence of social movements: Movements such as #MeToo and Black Lives Matter have directly affected the media landscape. Networks and studios are rethinking representation, investing in inclusive narratives and prioritising authentic voices to reflect societal calls for justice and equality. Demand for authenticity and representation: Audiences demand content that feels real and inclusive. This push has led to diverse casts, culturally sensitive writing and collaborations with underrepresented creators. Media now responds not just to market trends, but to ethical and cultural imperatives. Media as a cultural force TV and video content are cultural artifacts and engines of change. They both document and shape the identities, ideologies and dreams of society. As digital platforms and global audiences grow, so does the speed and scale of this feedback loop. What we see on screen doesn't just reflect who we are – it helps define who we're becoming. By Prasad S. Amin, CEO, Integrated Advertising Services (IAS MEDIA)
