Rati Agnihotri's son Tanuj Virwani talks about pressures of proving himself in the industry: 'For my mother, they would meet me, but...'
Tanuj Virwani, son of Rati Agnihotri, navigates Bollywood with determination, acknowledging his mother's influence opened doors but securing roles depended on his talent. He values her advice on emotional resilience, crucial for handling the industry's highs and lows. Off-screen, Tanuj prioritizes family, balancing his career with his roles as a husband and father. Tanuj Virwani , son of iconic Bollywood actress Rati Agnihotri , may come from a celebrated film legacy, but his journey in the industry has been one of quiet determination and personal grit. Currently in the spotlight for his role in Rana Naidu 2, Tanuj has opened up about the challenges of carving his own path, the pressure of living up to his mother's name, and the life lessons that have kept him grounded—both on and off screen. In an interview with Bollywood Shaadis, he acknowledged that being a star kid gave him access to people in the industry, but clarified that it never guaranteed work. Tanuj explained that while some were willing to meet him out of respect for his mother, landing roles still depended entirely on his own talent and hard work. He also noted that the nepotism debate wasn't as prominent when he started out, unlike the buzz that followed the Kangana Ranaut-Karan Johar controversy years later. Tanuj further revealed that his mother, Rati Agnihotri, has always been both his closest confidante and toughest critic. Despite their shared background in cinema, they rarely discuss films at home. Instead, their conversations focus on personal growth—how to carry oneself, lead by example, and stay grounded. He shared that when he first told her about his decision to pursue acting, she offered him heartfelt but realistic advice. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Need To Kill Time On Your Computer, This Popular Strategy Game Is A Must Forge Of Empires Undo Rati emphasized that while the industry may appear glamorous, it comes with its share of struggles—failures, insecurities, rejection, and emotional toll. Her guidance was less about the craft of acting and more about developing the mental strength needed to survive and succeed in such a challenging space. He also shared that one of the most valuable lessons his mother, Rati Agnihotri, taught him—and one he lives by—is to remain grounded during the highs and not be consumed by negativity during the lows. She stressed the importance of emotional balance, reminding him that both extremes can be unhealthy. Off-screen, Tanuj is also a devoted family man, known for being a loving husband and a doting father.

Season's first win for Bhopal in MPL 2.0: Leopards pounce on Bundelkhand Bulls
Bhopal: Bhopal Leopards clinched their first win of the season by defeating Bundelkhand Bulls with a 98-run margin in the seventh match of the Madhya Pradesh Premier League 2025 at Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia International Cricket Stadium in Gwalior on Monday. The victory showcased Bhopal Leopards' superior performance across batting, bowling, and fielding. Their tactical approach of maintaining an attacking run rate while preserving wickets proved effective. The middle-overs batting performance exhibited precise shot selection and strategic awareness. The bowling unit maintained exceptional control with accurate line and length throughout. The tactical deployment of eight bowlers created uncertainty for the opposing batsmen. After their initial match was abandoned due to rain, Bhopal demonstrated excellent batting in their second game. They accumulated 228 runs for eight wickets, while Bundelkhand were bowled out for 130 runs during their chase. Yash Dubey and Shivang Kumar's opening partnership amassed 71 runs in the power play overs. Shivang's attacking shots entertained the crowd. Yash Dubey scored 47 before departing in the 13th over, with the team total at 140. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo This substantial start enabled Bhopal to exceed 200 runs.

BEND IT LIKE SENIORS
ON THE MOVE: Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, the senior citizens battle it out on the football field in Panaji A bunch of seniors with a zest for life and passion for the beautiful game, are rewriting the rules It's late evening and the young kids undergoing a coaching camp at the Don Bosco school complex in the city stop in their tracks, wide-eyed. It's not the drills or a surprise celebrity visit that grabs their attention, but a group of men old enough to be their grandfathers battling it out on the football field. They jostle for the ball, argue over offside calls, and tackle like their lives depended on it. Some onlookers are amazed at their enthusiasm; others are alarmed at their competitiveness in what is essentially a friendly training session. Welcome to the Senior Citizens Football Club. Formed in 2018 in North Goa, it's arguably a one-of-a-kind football club in India. Members train three times a week on the artificial turf at the Don Bosco ground, unfailingly. Come rain or shine, their presence on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday is unmissable. Club president Allen de Sa said the constitution has two basic requirements: you have to be a football player in your prime and second, you must be aged 60 and above 'Our constitution has two basic requirements to join the club. First, you have to be a football player (in your prime), and second, you must be aged 60 and above,' says club president Allen de Sa, a former superintendent of police (SP) and ADC to governor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologists: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Tummy Health Wellness Journal Watch More Undo 'For many of us, football is what keeps us going. What is most amazing and admirable about this group is that it is a blend of ex-professional and amateur players, unitedly attracted to football to stay young and healthy, fit and strong. ' The group includes people from all walks of life—from former footballers, govt servants, bankers, journalists, seamen to even expats. The oldest among them is 84-year-old Manohar Netravalkar, who once donned colours of top-tier Goan football clubs like Sporting Clube and Santa Inez SC. Most others are in their seventies, who give the debutant 60-year-olds a run for their reputation. Also in their ranks is former India captain and Padma Shri awardee Brahmanand Shankhwalkar, perhaps their most decorated member. 'It's not just a football club. I call this a family, one that has kept us going long after official retirements. Mentally and physically, this group ensures that each individual needs no assistance to survive alone in his senior years,' says Brahmanand, the former India goalkeeper. The senior citizens football group got together for the first time in 2009, training whenever possible at Miramar beach Brahmanand may be the most famous name at the club, but on the field, they are all equals. 'Whether you have been a top footballer or not in the past, at our ages, you cannot make a difference individually. It's more important to play, and win, as a team. We have passion for the sport. Off the field, there's plenty of humour, and on the field, there's fierce competitiveness. You'll see constant arguments over handballs, offsides, fouls, all a part and parcel of the session,' says club secretary Bernard Simoes. The group got together for the first time in 2009, training whenever possible at Miramar beach. At first, there were only a handful, but with each session, they got noticed. More joined, many of them in their fifties, and as the number kept growing, they decided to form a club of their own, restricting entry to only those who were officially senior citizens. Those nearing retirements from their regular jobs are taken in only if there is a shortfall during the sessions. 'We have anywhere between 20 and 24 players turning up regularly,' says Simoes. While the senior citizens train regularly, finding worthy opposition is a huge challenge. They play friendlies against Goa Grand Masters, a more recent club from South Goa, and are invited to play even amongst themselves in exhibition games prior to popular inter-village football finals. 'It's been more than a decade that we have been together,' says Stanislaus D'Souza. 'During these years, the members have grown strength to strength, mentally and physically, with no signs of slowing down. We want to keep going.'
