The Doctor Says Little
According to actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, playing a silent character is tougher than being chatty on screen. 'In such times, you communicate with your eyes. You can't overact, especially when there's little to say,' the actor says. And Dr Raj Nagpal (played by Ayyub) is literally a man of few words, with little dialogue in the show. Dr Nagpal, is also a complex man; he is one of the prominent characters of the OTT series streaming on JioHotstar, Criminal Justice Season 4: A Family Matter. The drama follows lawyer Madhav Mishra (Pankaj Tripathi) as he takes on the case of Dr Nagpal, accused of killing his daughter's caretaker, Roshni (Asha Negi). The series centers on love, suspicion, justice and a raw family conflict. Ayyub, known for his performances in films like Article 15 and Scoop, was drawn to this role after reading the script. 'Sameer Nair (producer of the series) and I were already talking about working together. When this came to me, I read the script and liked it. I said yes,' the actor tells TMS.

What Does FAPA Stand For? Petroff Amshen LLP Explains the New York Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act
For New York homeowners facing foreclosure, a powerful legal reform is shifting the balance. The Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act ("FAPA"), signed into law in December 2022, has introduced substantial new protections that limit abusive litigation practices by lenders. But many consumers are still asking: What does FAPA stand for-and how does it work? NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 1, 2025 / Petroff Amshen LLP, a law firm focused on consumer protection and foreclosure defense, is shedding light on the scope and impact of FAPA in New York, and how it is already helping homeowners regain leverage in long-running foreclosure cases. What Does FAPA Stand For? FAPA stands for the Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act-a state law designed to end lender tactics that exploit procedural loopholes to restart or extend foreclosure cases indefinitely. Before FAPA, banks and mortgage servicers could manipulate the timeline of a foreclosure by voluntarily pausing and re-filing cases, effectively resetting the statute of limitations. This left many homeowners in limbo, facing lawsuits years after they believed the matter was resolved or abandoned. Now, under FAPA New York, this kind of procedural abuse is no longer allowed. The law restores fairness and finality to the foreclosure process by: Clarifying how and when the six-year statute of limitations is triggeredPreventing lenders from revoking their decision to accelerate a mortgage simply to extend the time to sueLimiting the ability to refile foreclosure actions on the same defaultReversing and codifying prior decisions from the New York Court of Appeals into state law Why FAPA Matters for Homeowners The passage of FAPA has immediate implications for thousands of New York homeowners who are either in foreclosure or at risk. For many, the law may mean a foreclosure action is now time-barred, making it subject to dismissal under New York's six-year limit on mortgage enforcement. "FAPA was passed because the system was being abused-and homeowners were paying the price," said Steven Amshen, Founding Partner of Petroff Amshen LLP. "This law is about restoring balance and giving families a real defense against endless litigation." How Petroff Amshen LLP Uses FAPA to Defend Homeowners Petroff Amshen LLP has already leveraged FAPA in active foreclosure litigation, helping clients challenge cases that exceed the statute of limitations. Their approach includes: Reviewing the entire history of the foreclosure process to identify timeline violationsChallenging lenders' claims when deadlines have expiredFiling motions to dismiss cases under FAPA groundsPursuing broader legal relief where appropriate, including cancellation of mortgages through Article 15 actions The firm represents clients across New York who have been entangled in foreclosure actions for years-many of whom were previously told there was no legal path forward. Know Your Rights Under FAPA - New York If you're currently facing foreclosure or have been re-sued on a mortgage years after the first filing, you may have legal grounds for dismissal. FAPA in New York may apply even if previous cases were discontinued or dismissed. Petroff Amshen LLP urges homeowners to have their cases reviewed by attorneys who understand this law and its power to stop wrongful foreclosure actions. Stay Informed. Stay Protected. Stay Connected. Petroff Amshen LLP shares legal updates, court decisions, and consumer-focused resources to help New Yorkers protect their homes. With nearly two decades of experience in foreclosure defense, the firm continues to lead in applying new laws like FAPA for the benefit of everyday homeowners.

Sumbul Touqeer Khan to play 21-year-old 'parenting' her siblings in new show Itti Si Khushi
Jul 02, 2025 04:53 PM IST Television actor Sumbul Touqeer Khan, popularly known for her show Imlie and her stint in Bigg Boss 16, is all set to headline a new show. Titled Itti Si Khushi, the new family drama will be releasing on Sony SAB. Sumbul will play the role of Anvita Divekar in the show. (Also read: Imlie-fame Sumbul Touqeer claps back at trolls for body-shaming her: 'If you think I am ruining my life, let me') Sumbul Touqeer Khan is all set to star in the show Itti Si Khushi. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mumbai, Itti Si Khushi tells the story of Anvita, a 21-year-old girl, the eldest of six siblings, who becomes the unexpected anchor of their crumbling home. With a father battling alcoholism and a mother who abandoned them, Anvita becomes the glue that holds her family together, sacrificing her education and setting aside her own aspirations to build a better future for them. What follows is a tender yet raw portrayal of everyday survival, silent sacrifices, and the quiet triumph of love and resilience. Talking about portraying Anvita, Sumbul Touqeer Khan shares, 'I am very excited to be a part of Itti Si Khushi and bring Anvita's story to life in a show that is extremely warm and heartfelt. Anvita Divekar is not your typical television character. She is a quintessential Mumbai girl - quiet yet unbreakable, nurturing yet fierce. She has stepped into a mother's role for her five younger siblings, driven by a deep sense of responsibility and love. Grounded, real, and immensely relatable, Anvita is the emotional core of this story — a quiet warrior who embodies resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring power of unconditional love.' The release date of the show is yet to be announced. Sumbul began her acting career with supporting roles as a child artiste in Har Mushkil Ka Hal Akbar Birbal and Jodha Akbar in 2014. Her Bollywood debut was in Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Article 15. Her first TV show as a lead was in Imlie. Sumbul participated in Salman Khan's reality show Bigg Boss 16 and was the highest-paid contestant on the show. She finished in seventh place.

Kamal Haasan, Payal Kapadia and Ayushmann Khurrana among Indians invited to join Oscar Academy panel; netizens react
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the institution behind the Oscars, has extended membership invitations to several Indian film professionals, including legendary actor Kamal Haasan (Vikram and Nayakan) and actor-singer Ayushmann Khurrana (Article 15 and Andhadhun). They join an elite international group of 543 artists and executives invited to be part of the Academy this year, alongside names like Ariana Grande, Sebastian Stan, and Jeremy Strong. The Los Angeles-based Academy, which conducts the Oscars Awards, announced the 'Oscars' Class of 2025 on Thursday night. Kamal Haasan, Payal Kapadia and Ayushmann Khurrana 'We are thrilled to invite this esteemed class of artists, technologists, and professionals to join the Academy,' said Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang. 'Through their commitment to filmmaking and to the greater movie industry, these exceptionally talented individuals have made indelible contributions to our global filmmaking community.' The list also includes prominent behind-the-scenes Indian talent: casting director Karan Mally (Gully Boy), cinematographer Ranabir Das (A Night of Knowing Nothing), costume designer Maxima Basu (Bajirao Mastani), documentary filmmaker Smriti Mundhra (I Am Ready, Warden) who has been invited to join the Academy by multiple branches, and filmmaker Payal Kapadia — whose recent Cannes Grand Prix win for All We Imagine as Light (2024) further cemented her global acclaim. She was also a member of the jury at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Netizens celebrate the milestone Social media was quick to cheer on the moment, especially Haasan's inclusion. 'Proud moment for Indians, Tamilians and especially Kamalians,' wrote one user on X. Another post noted, 'Suriya in 2022 and this year Kamal... So appropriate.' Filmmaker Payal Kapadia's invitation also sparked joy: 'Wow, that's awesome! Go Payal! She totally deserves it!' read one comment, while another added, 'Congratulations to Payal Kapadia on her Academy invitation! A well-deserved honour recognising her unique voice and contributions to filmmaking!' How Oscar Academy membership works Unlike awards, Academy membership isn't something you apply for — it's an invitation-only process, requiring a sponsorship from two current members of the same branch. The process focuses on both professional merit and the Academy's growing commitment to inclusion and global representation. This year's invitees reflect that mission: 41% are women, 45% are from underrepresented ethnic/racial communities, and 55% hail from 60 countries and territories outside the United States. Those who accept will be the only additions to the Academy in 2025, giving them the power to vote on the Oscars, including next year's ceremony, set for March 15, 2026. The nominations will be announced on January 22, following the voting window from January 12–16. Comedian Conan O'Brien is set to host the event. Last year, actor Shabana Azmi, director SS Rajamouli (RRR), producer Ritesh Sidhwani, director Rima Das (Village Rockstars) and choreographer Prem Rakshith(Naatu Naatu) were part of the board.
