The Hyderabad gamer who defies a diagnosis daily
HYDERABAD: Like many Indian youths, Polina Chandra Sekhar's path seemed preordained: software engineering. The 22-year-old gamer, educator and inspiration to lakhs was quietly slotted into that future before he could even walk or talk. But fate had a different blueprint. Born in 2002 in Andhra Pradesh's Prakasam district, Sekhar's life was altered before it had even begun. The doctor arrived three hours late, a delay that led to complications and caused permanent damage to part of his brain. He couldn't walk. He couldn't speak. Diagnosed with congenital cerebral palsy, Sekhar entered a world of limited mobility and silence. Bravery wasn't a choice; it was his only way forward. Determined not to let disability define his future, Sekhar's mother uprooted their lower-middle-class life and moved to Hyderabad for physiotherapy. It was a long fight against poverty, isolation and the unknown. Two years later, her efforts bore fruit: Sekhar spoke his first words. Gradually, he began to move. Slowly, he caught up to life; step by step, word by word. Finding identity in online avatar From Class 1 to 9, Sekhar couldn't write, so he dictated his answers to friends and family, who volunteered as scribes. But as his speech grew harder to follow, even that became a struggle. Then came December 2019. Sekhar, preparing to take his Class 10 board exams, was turned away by the school. No explanation. No room for appeal. Formal education didn't just reject him — it abandoned him. With formal education shut out, Sekhar was left with a smartphone, a 5G connection and endless hours. Like most teenagers, he turned to gaming. But unlike most, he turned it into a calling. He chose Free Fire, a battle royale game that requires one hand for movement, another for aiming, shooting, and interacting. Sekhar had just one working finger. But he made it work. His friends were stunned. They encouraged him to stream his gameplay. He posted videos — just a finger dancing on a screen — and views started trickling in. A thousand. Then two. Then five thousand were watching live. In 2020, he launched his YouTube channel: Disability Gamer. By 2021, he had over 1.5 lakh subscribers. His room became his studio. Gaming became his income.

Housefull 5 Box Office Day 2: Akshay Kumar Film Sees Strong Growth, Rakes In Rs 54 Crore
Last Updated: Housefull 5 collects Rs 54 crore in India in 2 days; Akshay Kumar film draws crowd with dual endings. The latest installment in the Housefull franchise is off to a strong start at the box office. Housefull 5, helmed by director Tarun Mansukhani, stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Soundarya Sharma in lead roles. After two days in theatres, the film has collected Rs 54 crore net in India. According to data from Sacnilk, the comedy entertainer earned Rs 24 crore net in India on its opening day. The worldwide collection on Day 1 stood at Rs 40 crore. Day 2, a Saturday, saw an upward trend with the film bringing in an estimated Rs 30 crore net domestically — taking the total to approximately Rs 54 crore so far. The movie maintained a nationwide occupancy of 33.18%, with figures climbing steadily through the day. Chennai, in particular, stood out with a 52% occupancy rate — a strong number for a Hindi-language comedy. With Sunday still ahead before the weekday slowdown, fans and analysts alike are watching to see how far Housefull 5 can go in its opening weekend. A major talking point around the film is its unique twist — it's been released with two alternate endings: Housefull 5 A and Housefull 5 B. Director Tarun Mansukhani shared the origin of this bold move: 'Sajid (Sajid Nadiadwala) sir had this idea about 30 years ago. And finally, he brought it to Housefull 5. And that was one of the most exciting things for me as a director to make a film with two different climaxes." This fresh concept appears to be resonating with moviegoers, adding curiosity and repeat viewings to the film's appeal. However, the film is getting mixed reviews from the critics. News18 Showsha gave it 2.5 stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'What makes the movie slump even lower is the music and the number of songs pushed into the scenes and the screenplay to make the film longer. Imagine dealing with an already stretched script, and then you have to tolerate even the unnecessary dance numbers. If this is the standard of comedy we get from the Housefull franchise, then Nadiadwala has to step up and raise the bar in the next instalment."

He made Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar overnight stars, yet his wife was found begging at Mumbai station. Who was Khemchand Prakash?
Javed Akhtar , a respected voice in the Indian film industry, has consistently supported the cause of fair compensation for those behind the creation of music — including lyricists, composers, and singers. His passionate advocacy for the Copyright (Amendment) Bill 2010 stemmed not only from a sense of justice but also from heartbreaking real-life stories that illustrate the absence of protective systems for creators. One such story is that of legendary composer Khemchand Prakash , whose family endured neglect and hardship after his untimely death. Prakash's name is etched in the golden era of Hindi cinema as a musical genius who shaped the careers of icons like Lata Mangeshkar , Kishore Kumar, Naushad, and Manna Dey. In an era when fresh talent struggled to find recognition, it was Prakash who gave Lata her big break in the film Ziddi in 1948. However, it was their second collaboration — the hauntingly beautiful 'Aayega Aane Wala' from Mahal — that catapulted her into national fame. Unfortunately, Prakash did not live to see the success of the film or the song, as he passed away in 1950 at the young age of 42 due to liver cirrhosis. His death not only marked the end of a brilliant musical journey but also pushed his family into financial turmoil. His wife, Sridevi, and daughter, Chandrakala, reportedly received little to no support from the industry. Their financial situation worsened over time, and in a painful revelation later shared by Javed Akhtar in the Rajya Sabha, it was found that Prakash's wife was reduced to begging at a Mumbai railway station, decades after her husband had composed timeless melodies. The industry's failure to support the families of its pioneers exposed the systemic gaps in how creators were compensated. Akhtar's speech during the parliamentary session served as both a tribute and a call to action. He emphasized how creators like Prakash were denied their rightful earnings because royalties were either poorly enforced or entirely absent. He argued that if Prakash's family had received ongoing income from the music he composed, their lives would have been very different. One of his compositions alone, 'Aayega Aane Wala,' could have earned his family lakhs in royalties, with reports suggesting a potential amount of ₹50 lakh. Khemchand Prakash was born in 1907 into a family deeply rooted in classical performance traditions. His father, Goverdhan Das, was a skilled Dhrupad singer and Kathak performer in the royal court of Madho Singh II. Though Prakash began his musical career early, his initial contributions to the 1935 version of Devdas were uncredited. His formal debut came in 1939 with Meri Aankhein. Over the next decade, he delivered a series of hits, including in films like Tansen, Ziddi, and Mahal. His compositions graced the voices of KL Saigal, Shamshad Begum, Noorjehan, and Kamini Kaushal, setting a high bar for Bollywood music. One of Prakash's greatest contributions to the industry was not just his music but his talent-spotting abilities. He discovered Kishore Kumar and brought him to public attention with the song 'Marne Ki Duaaen Kyun Maangu.' Lata Mangeshkar herself recalled in a 2020 interview that her first meeting with Kishore took place en route to Prakash's studio, highlighting how the composer was the connecting thread in some of Indian cinema 's most celebrated artistic unions. Today, the story of Khemchand Prakash stands as both a tribute to a musical visionary and a stark reminder of how creators can be forgotten if laws fail to protect their contributions. His life and legacy underscore the urgency of reform in recognizing and rewarding artistic labor — not just for the sake of artists, but for the dignity of their families as well.
