Nitesh Tiwari is grabbing headlines with his much-awaited upcoming film Ramayana, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash in the lead roles. According to recent reports, Amitabh Bachchan will play an integral role in the magnum opus- not just as a character but as a narrator. An insider told Midday, 'We're exploring the idea of having Bachchan as the sutradhar. His voice adds gravitas that no one else can match. The makers are keen that the film opens with his voice. It's still at the discussion stage. While the clash is a concern, there will be ways to work it out on a creative level. Having him open the film and be the spiritual narrator will have a strong impact.' The actor will be doing the voiceover for the character of Jatayu. Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana boasts a stellar cast with Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Bankrolled by Madhu Mantena and Allu Aravind, Ramayana is expected to be one of the most magnificent projects ever made in Indian cinema. On July 3rd, 2025, the makers unveiled the first looks of Ranbir, Sai Pallavi and Yash from the highly-anticipated project. 'Ten years of Aspiration. Relentless Conviction to bring the Greatest Epic of all time to the World. An outcome through a collaboration of some of the world's best to ensure that Ramayana is presented with the greatest amount of Reverence and Respect. Welcome to the Beginning. Let's Celebrate the IMMORTAL story of Rama v/s Ravana. Our Truth. Our History,' wrote the makers while sharing the first look on social media. Talking about Ramayana, Nitesh Tiwari, director of the film said, 'Ramayana is a story we've all grown up with. It carries the soul of our culture. Our aim was to honour that soul — and present it with the cinematic scale it truly deserves. As a filmmaker, it's both a huge responsibility and a heartfelt honour to bring it to life. . It's a tale that has endured across millennia because it speaks to something deep and eternal within us. We are not simply making a film. We are offering a vision — one rooted in reverence, shaped by excellence, and made to transcend borders.' Ramayana will be released worldwide: Part 1 in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027.

Her mother tried to abort her by consuming harmful herbs, paid midwife Rs 60; she grew up and bought her Rs 1.6 crore house
Comedian Bharti Singh's mother did everything that she could to abort her. Bharti nearly wasn't born. When she arrived in the world despite her mother's efforts, the midwife was paid only Rs 60 to cut her umbilical cord. 'I cost Rs 60,' she said in an appearance on Raj Shamani's podcast. Bharti survived a childhood that was filled with poverty, but lacked a father figure. Her mother worked as a house help to make ends meet. But even though she has no memory of her father, who died when she was just two, Bharti adores her mother. To her, she is a goddess. She recalled, 'In those days, women wouldn't even come to know that they were pregnant. It was only after around three months that she realised that she was pregnant with me. She already had two kids by then, and didn't want another. She tried so hard to abort me. She would eat strange herbs on the advice of godmen; she would deliberately put herself through physical strain; she would consume food that she knew she shouldn't. All to abort me. But I was destined to be born. She gave birth to my by herself; she was alone at home. She paid a midwife Rs 60 to cut the umbilical cord. I always say, 'I cost Rs 60'.' Also read – Bharti Singh says 'main kaam waali ki beti hoon'; would eat three-day-old leftovers, doesn't recognise dead father in pictures: 'Ajnabee hain' She laughed that she has now bought her mother a house worth Rs 1.6 crore. 'I was an unwanted child. They knew that they couldn't raise another kid, being in the situation that they were,' she said, adding that she adores her mother. Bharti said that when she got the call to appear on The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, her relatives warned her mother not to take her to Mumbai. They feared that she would be abused, or that the city would corrupt her. But, Bharti said, to her mother's credit, she agreed to take the chance and see what happens. 'If she hadn't made that decision then, I wouldn't be here,' Bharti said categorically. She continued, 'To put it plainly, I don't want my mother to die. I wouldn't be able to live if she dies. She was very ill last year; she had a kidney transplant. Since then, I've started manifesting. I have succeeded. When they took my mother into the operation theatre, I manifested that one day, I would visit Puri with her, and it happened. I am a God-fearing person, and for me, there are two Gods; my mother and the Almighty. And I'm really terrified of losing her. Even my dreams are all about her.' In the same interview, Bharti spoke at great length about her childhood, and her journey in the television industry. Married to writer Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Bharti now also runs a YouTube channel with over 7 million subscribers.
