Meet actress, who got married in 1997, husband died in plane crash in 2000, worked with Shah Rukh Khan

In Film industry, there have been actors and actresses who have reached an enormous height of success, but due to tragedy or some unwanted circumstances, they were not able to revive themselves. But there was this one actress who demonstrated remarkable resilience, choosing to reinvent herself after a personal setback. Her journey serves as a powerful reminder that it's never too late to start anew. The Vidya Sharma Of Bollywood Some of you might have guessed the name of this actor, while some of you may still be scratching your heads. Let us give you a slight hint, this actress was the niece of prominent Bollywood star Smita Patil who featured with many stalwarts of Indian cinema. Now, if you haven't guessed it yet, let us raise curtains for you. Here we are talking about Vidya Malvade, who began her professional life as an air hostess after studying law. In 1997, she tied the knot with Captain Arvind Singh Bagga, who was a pilot with Alliance Air Company. Tragically, in 2000, Arvind lost his life in a plane crash in Patna. The sudden loss plunged her into a deep state of shock, and she even made a suicide attempt to end her life. However, with the support of her family and inner strength, she chose to stay and give herself a second chance. Vidya And Her Second Innings Turning towards yoga and meditation for healing, Vidya started her second innings in modeling and then acting. Her debut came with Vikram Bhatt's action-thriller Inteha in 2003, but it was her role as Vidya Sharma, the captain of the Indian women's hockey team, in Shah Rukh Khan's Chak De! India, which brought her enormous success. Despite the film's success, Vidya faced challenges in her career, with several projects being stalled or not performing well at the box office. However, she continued her journey while exploring opportunities in web series and television. Vidya's Life Blossomed Again With Love In 2009, Vidya found love again and married Sanjay Dayma, who was a screenplay writer from Bollywood and best known for his work in Aamir Khan's Lagaan. Beyond acting, Vidya is also a certified yoga instructor and a motivational speaker, promoting physical and mental well-being. The actress made her last appearance on Netflix' romantic drama web-series 'Mismatched' opposite actor Ranvijay Singh Singha.

Like, share, collapse: The curious case of manufactured modern consent

Excerpt: We agreed to everything. Even the crash. Especially the crash. That's the magic of consent in the age of capital: you won't even notice when you're nodding your way into ruin—with a selfie filter and a 'Let's Go Brandon' mug in hand. There's something perversely elegant about a society that can manufacture both iPhones and ideologies with the same ruthless efficiency. Yanis Varoufakis [a Greek politician and economist], riffing off Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent, tosses us a neat little paradox wrapped in economic angst: that the more financialized our lives become, the more agreeable we get—and the more spectacular our breakdowns. Consent, it seems, isn't what it used to be. Once upon a time, it had to be extracted—with religion, kings, or gulags. These days, it's delivered via push notification and monetized outrage. Capitalism doesn't just want your labour; it wants your belief system bundled in prime-time infotainment and Facebook Lives. All dynamic societies, Varoufakis says, thrive on two processes: the making of surplus and the making of consent. The former fills your wallet (or used to). The latter convinces you that it's okay the neighbour got a fatter wallet for doing the same job. But somewhere along the way, as finance ballooned and factories vanished, this little duet hit a remix. Consent stopped being coerced and became curated. The age of propaganda gave way to the era of the podcast. Enter Trump, stage right—red tie flapping, indictment count rising. A real-estate mogul-turned-cable news messiah who understood early on that if you can't manufacture consent, just manufacture chaos and sell it in trucker hats. His genius wasn't policy; it was narrative ownership. He turned politics into pro wrestling and got half the country to cheer the heel turn. The other half? They rage-tweeted, which was basically a form of engagement. The algorithm doesn't care why you're angry, only that you are. And it's not just America. From Modi's WhatsApp bhakts to Europe's Hungary Games, the playbook is being photocopied at scale. Financial precarity? Blame the migrants. Sky-high inequality? Distract with culture wars. It's cheaper than redistributing wealth, and it polls better in the suburbs. So we scroll. We shop. We 'stand with' whatever the feed suggests today. We nod along to leaders who promise to make things great again—no one quite asks for whom. And then, once every few years, the scaffolding collapses and we wonder how no one saw it coming. Maybe we didn't need to. Maybe deep down, we agreed to the fall too. Late capitalism doesn't knock. It slides into your DMs with a 20% coupon, a righteous cause, and a man in a suit yelling on TikTok or those Meta platforms. All it asks for is your consent—and your complicity when the crash comes dressed as patriotism.
