Gullak, SonyLIV

With its nuanced portrayal of societal pressure, complex relationships, and ambitious dreams, the show offers a raw and honest look at the struggles and triumphs of young adults chasing their aspirations.
Tripling, ZEE5
Tripling follows three siblings, Chandan (Sumeet Vyas), Chanchal (Maanvi Gagroo) and Chitwan (Amol Parashar), as they find themselves at a turning point in their lives. When their parents unexpectedly decide to separate, the trio sets off on an impulsive road trip to Manali, which soon turns into a journey of rediscovery, healing and unspoken sibling love.
As old wounds resurface and hilarious detours unfold, the road becomes more than a backdrop; it becomes a metaphor for mending fractured bonds. Packed with emotion, wit, and raw honesty, Tripling beautifully explores the themes of family, love, and self-discovery, making it one of TVF's most beloved and relatable series.
Kota Factory, Netflix
Kota Factory, a groundbreaking Netflix series, takes viewers on a raw and realistic journey of students who relocate to Kota, Rajasthan, the country's renowned coaching hub, to crack the highly competitive IIT entrance exam. With the guidance of the unorthodox Jeetu Bhaiya (Jitendar Kumar), founder of AIMERS Institute, these students navigate the intense academic pressure and complexities of growing up. What's striking is that Kota Factory is India's first black-and-white web series, adding a unique aesthetic to its compelling narrative.
This is one of the most nostalgic and heartwarming coming-of-age stories set in the late 1990s. The series follows Harshu, a 12-year-old boy, as he navigates the joys and struggles of adolescence, juggling family expectations, school life, friendships, and personal growth.

Watch: Rohit Sharma Asks Rishabh Pant 'Retirement Lelu?' In Never-Before-Seen Video
Rishabh Pant has shared a video from India's 2025 Champions Trophy win where Rohit Sharma is seen discussing his ODI retirement. Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant would certainly become a fan-favorite with his post to commemorate Independence Day. That's because his respects and wishes were paired with a wholesome, never-before-seen video of the Men in Blue's win in the 2025 Champions Trophy in Dubai. In that, there was also a major hint about the future of Rohit Sharma, which is increasingly being put into doubt every day. Part of the squad but unable to make it to the 11, Pant recorded the immediate dressing room reactions of Shubman Gill, Rohit, and Mohammed Shami soon after Ravindra Jadeja finished off the chase with a boundary. After high-fives and some big hugs, Pant took the camera out to the rest of the team. In it, we could see another huge embrace between captain and coach Gautam Gambhir and the small banter between the players, including Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Kuldeep Yadav, and others. Pant also didn't waste the opportunity to tease Rohit. At the end of the video, he is seen listening to Rohit. Rohit says: 'Kya? Retirement lelu? Har baar jeetega toh mai thodi retirement lete rahunga?' (What was that? Should I retire? I can't keep taking retirements every time we win!) To this, Pant replies: 'Maine nahi bola bhai, hum to chahte hai khelo!' (I didn't say it, brother. We want you to keep playing.) Retirement and Rohit have become synonyms recently. The Mumbaikar hung his T20 boots after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup (which is also his reference in that video) and called off his Test career in May this year. In between that, after India beat New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final, all eyes were placed on Rohit to see if he would call it quits in the format he is most successful, too. However, he didn't. Now, with no ODIs till October, it has been months since Rohit has played any competitive cricket. Reports are now claiming that the BCCI might ask him and Kohli to play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy to be considered for future ODI selections, though what impact would that have on their careers remains to be seen. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Neeraj Chopra's Wife Himani Mor Quits Tennis, Rejects Rs 1.5 Crore Job Offer After Marriage To Focus On...
Last Updated: Himani Chopra is a former Indian tennis player who played in both singles and doubles events at the international level. Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra's wife Himani Mor has reportedly quit tennis and is now focusing on building a career in sports business. Himani is a former professional tennis player who achieved a career-best ranking of 42 in women's singles in 2018 – the same year she made her debut. Besides, she also played doubles event and reached a career-high ranking of 27. Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar, Himani's father Chand Mor revealed that she also turned down a Rs 1.5 crore sports-related job offer in USA and instead will focus on her own business now. Currently, she is with Neeraj in Europe where the star India athlete is undergoing training. Himani holds a degree in Political Science from Delhi University. She has also done Sports and Fitness management from Franklin Pierce University. Family Waiting To Host Reception Earlier this year in January, Neeraj and Himani got married in a private ceremony with the duo announcing the news via social media. The wedding was held at a private resort in Solan (Himachal Pradesh). Soon after the ceremony, the couple left for USA and due to Neeraj's packed schedule, the family is still waiting to host their wedding reception. Currently, Himani is managing the Tokyo Olympic gold medalist's diet and training sessions. Himani's Love For Tennis Born in 1999, Himani began playing tennis when she was in school and studying in fourth class. However, the family wanted her to focus on boxing, wrestling and kabaddi. She learned the trick of the trade from her mother who herself was a Physical Training Instructor (PTI). She made her professional debut in 2018 and went on to achieve her career-best ranking in the same year. Besides that, Himani has represented Delhi University at national level and also participated in the World University Games 2017. Chopra Pulls Out Of Silesia Diamond League Fan will have to wait longer to see Chopra in action after the star javelin thrower withdrew from the upcoming Silesia Diamond League. His last competitive appearance was at the Neeraj Chopra Classis in Bengaluru which he won. While no official reason has been given for the withdrawal, it's likely that the 27-year-old may want to stay fresh and focus on the next month's world athletics championships. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Deputy CM Shinde inaugurates renovated Gadkari auditorium in Thane
Thane, Aug 15 (PTI) Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday inaugurated the renovated Ram Ganesh Gadkari Rangayatan drama theatre, a cultural landmark in Thane city, which is now equipped with modern amenities. Speaking on the occasion, Shinde said this auditorium was a project envisioned by Shiv Sena founder late Bal Thackeray in 1977. 'Gadkari Rangayatan is more than just a building. It is the heart of Thane city and a treasure of culture and arts. It is the crown jewel of the city," Shinde said. There would be no dearth of funds for the promotion of arts. Theatres must meet the needs of both artists and audiences, he said. In order to carry out meaningful projects, one must go beyond partisan politics, Shinde said. 'For doing good things, one should go beyond politics. For that, a strong political will is required," he said. He listed several ongoing and upcoming infrastructure projects in the region as examples of this commitment. The trial run of Metro train (10.50 km) in Thane is scheduled for September and its services are expected to begin by December. By next year, it will go up to Wadala, then from Gaimukh to Dahisar, Mira Bhayandar, he said. Shinde also directed the municipal commissioner to form a special team to ensure the cleanliness of the theatre, stressing that a building's reputation is built on its maintenance. Marathi actor Suhas Joshi and artist Ashok Hande were also present on the occasion. PTI COR NP view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
