I would love to surrender in love: Fatima Sana Shaikh l Exclusive
Actor Fatima Sana Shaikh recently expressed her perspective on love and relationships. She also spoke about the modern dating challenges and navigating relationships, in an exclusive interview with India opened up on what love means to her — both on-screen and off it — and why surrendering to love still holds a sacred place in her heart. She said, "I don't think love has changed. It's still as special as ever. We often say we don't want commitment, but deep down, we do want a partner. We want to surrender, because that's what love is about. I know I would love to surrender in love, that is how love is supposed to be."advertisementWhile acknowledging the emotional disconnect in today's world, the actor further said, "We're not going out anymore. We stay in, watch content alone, and that community feeling is missing. Where do we even meet people now?" However, Fatima emphasised that carving for connection might be pushing people back into social spaces again. "I've started playing paddle, and through that, I've made new friends. So maybe, now, when you meet new people, something can happen. There's a possibility again," she went ' Dino' actor also shared about her experiences with dating apps. "Yes, I've been on Tinder and stuff. But people get awkward. They don't know what to say. I've gone on dates with people who aren't from the industry—it's a completely different world. So, to understand the emotion or the complexity that a public figure goes through, you need a very secure and a sorted man to understand that, " Fatima asked if pretending to be in love on screen is easy or difficult, especially when one is single, the actor said, "Romantic scenes aren't easy. But honestly, nothing is. Whether it's action, anger, or love—if you're not feeling it truthfully, it just won't show. You have to believe it."She further said, "The moment you fake it, the audience will know. The camera catches everything; it's an intimate relationship, unlike theatre, where there's distance between performer and audience. Here, every expression shows. If you're vulnerable, it will be visible. If I'm feeling something, it'll show. So yeah, it's very difficult to achieve any emotion."Fatima was last seen in 'Aap Jaisa Koi' (2025), opposite R Madhavan, streaming on also played a key role in Anurag Basu's ' Dino', co-starring Ali Fazal, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta and others.

Girlguiding : What are the 72 new badges?
Girlguiding, the UK's largest youth organisation for girls, has launched 72 new badges in one of the biggest updates in its 115-year new badges have been designed for girls aged 4 to 18 across all sections of Girlguiding; Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. This is only the second time in the organisation's history that the badge programme has been updated on such a large of the new badges on offer are earned through laughter, kindness, or even strong interests, where enthusiasm over things like Taylor Swift could see teenage Rangers receive a Fandom badge. Archive images courtesy of British Pathé The new badges also cover a wide range of interests and skills, from interior design and food tasting to learning about insects and creating calm spaces. They were developed after feedback from more than 20,000 girls and volunteers . More than 4,000 badge ideas were submitted, and 11,000 girls helped test the new activities that each badge involves. The badge activities were developed with Girlguiding's youth panel Amplify. Fatima, who is 18 and part of the group, says: "It's empowering to know our voices help shape what guiding looks like for the future."The aim of the new badges is to give members more choice and to reflect the things they said they wanted to learn. Amanda Azeez, Girlguiding Acting CEO said: "They've been designed by girls, for girls which is so important to make sure we are staying relevant to girls' wants and needs. My personal favourite is the Bee rescuer badge for Rainbows - I just love it!" Some of the new badges include: Courage: Helping younger members in Rainbows understand that being brave means trying new things, even when they feel Designer: Giving girls the chance to plan, design and decorate a space using their Spaces: Encouraging older members to create a relaxing environment that helps them feel calm and Critic: Helping girls explore different flavours and express their opinions on what they do (or don't) the last badge refresh in 2018, Girlguiding says more than 1.5 million badges have been earned by girls across the UK. How did Girlguiding begin? The Girl Guide Association was created in 1909 by a woman called Agnes Baden-Powell. Agnes played an incredibly important role in the Girl Guide movement. Her brother Robert had founded the Boy Scouts Association not long before, but many people didn't approve of girls taking part in outdoor activities, despite many wanting to take part. Agnes wanted to change that and her brother was in full support of her creating an organisation specifically for girls. Girl Guides were soon practising skills like cooking and first aid and there were lots of different badges they could earn. Many of these skills became very useful when the First World War began and saw lots of men and boys go off to fight. Famous Girl Guides include the late Queen Elizabeth, who became a Guide in 1937 at 11 when she was a princess. In 1994 The Girl Guide Association's name was updated to the Guide Association. It was updated again in 2002 and is known today as Girlguiding UK.
