‘Sleeping Prince' of Saudi Arabia dead at 36 after 20-year coma
A Saudi Arabian royal who spent more than two decades in a coma after a horror car crash in London has died at the age of 36. Prince Al-Waleed bin Khalid Al-Saud suffered a brain haemorrhage and internal bleeding in the horrific accident in 2005, when he was just 15 years old.

Prince Al-Waleed was the eldest son of Prince Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, who confirmed his death in a heartbreaking post on X today. Quoting a verse from the Quran, he wrote: 'With hearts believing in Allah's will and decree, and with deep sorrow and sadness, we mourn our beloved son: Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may Allah have mercy on him, who passed away today.' 4 Prince Al-Waleed bin Khalid Al-Saud died at the age of 36. 4 The prince had been in a coma since 2005.

Prince Al-Waleed's father never gave up hope that his son would one day make a full recovery. He remained involved in the prince's care and firmly rejected calls to withdraw life support. The hashtag 'Sleeping Prince' has widely trended on social media following the announcement, with thousands offering their condolences. 'May Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled, Rest In Peace. Deepest sympathies to his loved ones,' one wrote. 4 The prince suffered a brain haemorrhage and internal bleeding after a car crash when he was 15 years old. 4 Prince Al-Waleed's father always hoped his son would make a full recovery.

Mukesh Ambani'S JioStar business earns more in Q1 FY26 than BCCI's entire FY25
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 19, 2025, 15:30 IST Mukesh Ambani-led JioStar business — the joint venture between Reliance Industries and Walt Disney's India media operations — posted a revenue of ₹11,222 crore in the first quarter of FY26, surpassing the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) entire income for FY25. BCCI, as per its audited annual report, earned ₹9,741.71 crore in the full financial year FY25, with the Indian Premier League (IPL) contributing ₹5,761 crore to its coffers. Other streams of income for BCCI included ₹1,042 crore from ICC distributions, ₹813 crore from media rights, ₹377 crore from the Women's Premier League (WPL), ₹361 crore from men's international matches, and about ₹986 crore as interest income. In contrast, JioStar generated ₹11,222 crore in just the April–June 2025 quarter, with the IPL 2025 season being the biggest growth driver for its business. The company also posted an EBITDA of ₹1,017 crore, with its digital platform JioHotstar achieving a subscriber base of 287 million during the IPL and reaching over 800 million viewers on TV. According to Reliance Industries, IPL 2025 delivered record-breaking viewership with 1.19 billion viewers across TV and JioHotstar. The merger of JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar into JioHotstar earlier this year allowed JioStar to consolidate its dominance in both OTT and linear television. On the linear TV front, Star Plus retained its leadership in the Hindi general entertainment category, while regional channels like Star Pravah, Star Jalsha, and Asianet also held top positions in their respective markets. The figures highlight how the IPL has evolved into a lucrative property not just for the BCCI but even more so for broadcasters and streaming platforms. With its quarterly revenue already exceeding BCCI's full-year income, JioStar has solidified its position at the center of India's sports and entertainment economy.
