Radhika Das Announces 9-City India Tour 'Silence In Sound' For November 2025
Last Updated: Radhika Das announces 9-city India tour 'Silence In Sound' in November 2025. Mantra music, meditation, and soulful storytelling await audiences. UK-based kirtan musician and bhakti yoga teacher Radhika Das is set to bring his soulful mantra meditation to Indian shores with a landmark nine-city tour this November titled Silence In Sound. This immersive spiritual experience, produced by EVA Live in collaboration with Scope Entertainment, promises to take participants on a deeply moving journey of collective meditation, music, and storytelling. Known for his evocative use of Sanskrit mantras and his ability to weave ancient traditions into modern musical expressions, Radhika Das has inspired millions across the globe. With more than 50 million streams and performances at major global venues and festivals including The British Museum, Bhakti Fest, World Yoga Festival, and Union Chapel, his work bridges continents, cultures, and communities. Now, he returns to the land that inspired his spiritual path. 'India holds the original blueprint for what I've been sharing across the world. To finally bring these gatherings to the very soil where these sacred sounds were first uttered thousands of years ago feels like completing a sacred pilgrimage," said Radhika Das. 'My role is to create a space where people can remember what their ancestors never forgot." Silence In Sound will visit New Delhi, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune, Indore, Bengaluru, and Mumbai. Each venue has been selected for its acoustic and atmospheric properties, creating sanctuaries of sound and devotion. The tour aims to transcend cultural and religious divides through the uplifting energy of kirtan—a practice of call-and-response chanting rooted in the Bhakti yoga tradition. Each two-hour event will combine mantra chanting, guided meditation, and heartfelt storytelling. A unique ensemble of traditional and modern instruments, including the harmonium, mridanga, saxophone, and bass guitar, will offer a rich, immersive musical backdrop. Deepak Chaudhary, Founder of EVA Live, described the tour as a vision long in the making: 'India is experiencing a profound spiritual reawakening, and many are seeking new pathways that are both authentic and accessible. Radhika Das offers that rare blend. These events are not just performances—they are spaces for transformation." Ajay Bansal, Founder and CEO of Scope Entertainment, echoed this sentiment: 'For us, this is about more than music. It's about building a spiritual family.

Putin's 'Secret' Daughter Working At Anti-War Art Gallery In Paris, Claims Russian Artist
Last Updated: Elizaveta Krivonogikh appeared in an interview with GQ Russia where she dodged questions about her resemblance to Putin. Elizaveta Krivonogikh, believed to be the 'secret' daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is reportedly working under a new identity at two Parisian art galleries known for showcasing anti-war Russian and Ukrainian art, as per Russian artist and writer Nastya Rodionova. Nastya Rodionova, who fled Russia after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine and was granted asylum in France in 2022, made the claims in a Facebook post in which she wrote that she had heard rumors that Elizaveta Krivonogikh, now going by the name 'Elizaveta Rudnova," was working as a gallery manager at Studio Albatros and L Galerie, both operated by the Paris-based L Association. These galleries are known for hosting exhibitions critical of Russia's war in Ukraine. The artist said the rumor was confirmed by a fellow artist who recognized the gallery manager and matched her description to Elizaveta Krivonogikh. Nastya Rodionova later confronted L Association president Dmitri Dolinski about the woman's identity. Dmitri Dolinski reportedly told her he does not inquire about his staff's family backgrounds and emphasized that 'children are not responsible for their parents," but confirmed the manager's last name was 'Rudnova." Investigative outlet Agentstvo reported last year that 'Elizaveta Olegovna Rudnova" was enrolled in a cultural management program at Paris's ICART university. Travel records obtained by Agentstvo show Nastya Rudnova shares the same birthdate as Elizaveta Krivonogikh. The outlet also noted that the name 'Rudnova" may be a reference to Oleg Rudnov, a late Putin associate whose name has appeared in real estate transactions linked to Krivonogikh's mother, Svetlana Krivonogikh. Proekt, the Russian investigative media outlet banned by the Kremlin, first identified Elizaveta Krivonogikh in 2020, describing her as the daughter of Svetlana Krivonogikh- a millionaire allegedly linked romantically to Vladimir Putin. The outlet cited physical resemblance and circumstantial evidence to claim that Elizaveta Krivonogikh is Vladimir Putin's biological daughter, a claim the Kremlin dismissed as 'unfounded." Elizaveta Krivonogikh later appeared in a veiled interview with GQ Russia under the pseudonym 'Luiza Rozova," where she dodged questions about her resemblance to Putin, saying 'many people look like Mr. Putin." Dolinski later confirmed to independent outlet Meduza that the woman working at the galleries is indeed Svetlana Krivonogikh's daughter. He acknowledged her physical resemblance to past images of Putin's alleged child and said she is completing an internship as part of her studies.

Kris Jenner's facelift transformation sparks debate, top plastic surgeon claims it's 'AI-generated or digitised'; video goes viral
Kris Jenner is hyping up the plastic surgeon who performed her facelift 14 years ago, and is currently making headlines across all platforms. However, amid this, a renowned plastic surgeon has cast doubts on Jenner's dramatic new look, accusing her of using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to alter her images. In a recent post, the doctor also called out the American media personality for setting unrealistic expectations, which aren't true. Kris Jenner sparked a frenzy when she showed up in Paris the previous month, joining her daughter Kim Kardashian during court appearances, when she looked far younger than her age, 69. As soon as the pictures surfaced on social media, they quickly went viral, and social media users became desperate to find out who her doctor was. Some even joked that Jenner has found the 'fountain of youth.' A renowned plastic surgeon questioned Kris Jenner's viral facelift procedure After Jenner's look went viral, her representative later confirmed that she had consulted a celebrity plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven M. Levine, who is also popularly known as 'the facelift maestro.' However, soon after this, a post on Instagram grabbed the attention of netizens on Wednesday. The video went viral and has been viewed over 250,000 times since it was dropped. The post has been shared by Dr. Gary Lawton, who suggested that Jenner's pictures are morphed or have been altered with the use of AI tools. 'Defy all surgical and anatomical realities' According to the Daily Mail, the San Antonio-based surgeon said that the pictures published across the platforms show her new look 'defying all surgical and anatomical realities'. Dr. Lowton went on to say in the video that there is no possible way that this is a surgical transformation. Adding a detailed analysis, Dr. Lawton noted that the images circulating online look AI-generated or heavily edited. According to him, the problem is that people have seen her in person, and if you look at the pictures now, there is no possible way this is a surgical transformation. Viral post suggests reasons behind the Jenners' fake facelift Dr. Lawton explains, If you look at the jawline and chin, it's markedly narrower, and the chin is more pointed. There is a drastic reshaping of the mandible (jawbone). According to him, severe slimming at the lower jawbone would need bony recontouring, which happens with an extensive soft tissue repositioning, where there is no surgical evidence. However, Jenner has neither confirmed nor denied that she has undergone surgery. Netizens react to the viral video As soon as the video surfaced on Instagram, netizens shared their thoughts on the same. Some said, "Thank you. Somebody had to say it and it was said. 👏👏🙌" While another added, "Its hard to believe anything you see these days." "I saw video of her not a picture and she looks exactly like that," one added.
