Meet actress, whose father is Hindu, mother is Muslim, she is a Christian, dated two married actors, still single, name is ..
Some celebrities become famous not just for their work in the cinema, but also for their lives. This actress from the '90s became famous for her movies in both Bollywood and South Indian films. While her career was successful, her love life was full of ups and downs. She was linked to several married men over the years, with her relationships often making headlines. The one name that comes right at the top is that of the legendary Indian cricketer, Sourav Ganguly. The duo was in a serious relationship in 2001, when the actor was already married to his wife, Dona Ganguly. The rumours of their relationship became so strong that shortly after, it was speculated that the duo had already gotten married secretly in a temple in Andhra Pradesh. Unfortunately, after a few years, the duo called it quits. We are talking about actress Nagma Arvind Morarji, who was seen in big movies like King Uncle, Kunwara, Baaghi, Ek Jind Ek Jaan, Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Sathiyo, Suhaag an d Lal Baadshah . After making a mark in Bollywood with some hit films, Nagma shifted her focus to South Indian cinema, where she quickly became one of the most famous leading actresses. Nagma was also involved with married actor Sharath Kumar, with rumours of their affair circulating widely. Later, while working in the Bhojpuri film industry, her name was reportedly also linked to Ravi Kishan. The two were seen together on several occasions and also worked in several films. However, they never publicly confirmed their relationship. Later, the actress was allegedly linked to Manoj Tiwari. While rumours of a romance between the two surfaced, they never confirmed or commented on the relationship. Despite all the media attention and heartbreaks, she never got married. In 2008, after a flourishing film career, Nagma made a bold move into politics, retiring from acting to focus on her new political journey. In 2015, she was appointed the general secretary of All India Mahila Congress. Today, Nagma is 50 years old and even in politics, she is in a low profile. Born to a Hindu father and Muslim mother, Nagma is a practising Christian. She was baptised to be a Christian in 2007. In a 2006 interview, she made a direct link between her family history and her political activism: 'My mom is Muslim and my dad is Hindu. We were brought up to respect all religions. She said, 'I personally experienced the Love of Jesus Christ from early on and His uniqueness and identifies herself as a Christian. Communal riots pained me. I wanted to do something. So I joined politics.'

Brave mother mauled to death by leopard while shielding daughter in UP's Bahraich
The deceased woman LUCKNOW: A 38-year-old woman was mauled to death by a leopard on Sunday while trying to save her teenage daughter in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich. The attack occurred around 2 am in Ayodhyapurwa village under the Sujauli Range of the Katarniaghat Wildlife Division. According to family members, Zarina Bano was sleeping on the roof of her house with her 17-year-old daughter, Nagma, when a leopard climbed up. Hearing a sound, Zarina woke up to find the big cat about to pounce on her daughter. She bravely intervened, trying to scare it away, but the leopard attacked her instead. It sank its jaws into her neck and leapt off the roof, dragging her to a nearby sugarcane field. By the time her screams drew the attention of her husband Zakir, younger daughter Nagina, and other villagers, Zarina had succumbed to her injuries. Her face, chest, and neck were badly mauled. Nagma, shaken and in tears, recounted the harrowing moment: 'The leopard came for me, but my mother shielded me. She screamed to scare it off, but it grabbed her by the leg. I held onto her hand and screamed for help, but the leopard pounced again and dragged her away.' Local police and forest department teams arrived by 3 am. While attempting to take the body for post-mortem, officers faced resistance from grieving family members. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The police eventually convinced them with assurances of support.

When One Mega Star Romanced Three Star Sisters In Tollywood
1/9 In the world of cinema, it's not uncommon for siblings from the same family to make their mark, brothers rising as heroes and sisters captivating audiences as leading ladies. But did you know there's one actor who has had the unique distinction of sharing the screen with three sisters? Let's uncover who they are and revisit the films that brought them together. Do you recognise the talented sisters in this photograph? Once celebrated as leading actresses, they each left an impression on audiences in their own right. Among them, Nagma particularly stood out, winning hearts with her beauty and emotive performances. She starred opposite many of the industry's top heroes before eventually stepping away from the limelight. Her sister, Jyothika, carved her own path with a distinct style and bold choice of roles in both Tamil and Telugu cinema. Meanwhile, their younger sister Roshini also made appearances on screen, continuing the family's cinematic legacy. What's truly remarkable is that only one star has had the opportunity to work with all three sisters. While the actresses may have stepped back from the industry, this actor continues to shine. That star is none other than the legendary mega star Chiranjeevi. Though Chiranjeevi has recently faced a few box office setbacks, he remains a revered figure in Indian cinema.

Ration cards issued to foreign nationals to be cancelled
Bhubaneswar: Following the Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives, including one from Odisha, the State government has decided to cancel ration cards illegally issued to foreign nationals over the years. Speaking to reporters, State Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister Krushna Chandra Patra on Monday said all district collectors have been instructed to immediately revoke ration cards issued to Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Burmese nationals residing in the State. 'We have tightened our stance after the terror attack. Foreign nationals staying across the State must not avail the benefits meant for Indian citizens,' Patra said. The minister said ration cards illegally issued to foreign nationals over the years must be cancelled immediately. Patra said the foreign nationals mostly stay in Balasore, Kendrapara and Jagatsinghpur districts located along the State's coastal belt. He asserted that the administration would soon identify the foreigners availing the benefits. Apart from 11 Pakistanis, the State government has so far identified 3,738 Bangladeshis staying illegally in the State. However, the government has no data on the number of Burmese people in the State, Home department sources said. Replying to a question in the Assembly last month, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, who is also in-charge of the Home department, said Odisha government has identified 3,738 infiltrators living illegally in the State. The highest number of 1,649 Bangladeshis are in Kendrapara district, followed by 1,112 in Jagatsinghpur, 655 in Malkangiri and 106 in Nabarangapur. Meanwhile, DGP Y B Khurania, during a tour to Rourkela, told reporters that one Pakistani citizen has so far left the State, though deportation notices were served to 12 such persons. Asked about the fate of others who have been staying in the State for more than 30 years and have families, Khurania said, 'We are waiting for the next instruction from the Ministry of Home Affairs. There are some people who have Long-Term Visa (LTV) and some awaiting the renewal of their LTVs. The State will act according to MHAinstructions.' State Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan said while the State has informed the Centre about the situation, the final decision lies with the MHA. 'We have no role in this. The Centre will decide on the next course of action,' he added. State Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water Minister Rabi Narayan Naik said the State government has already started identifying Bangladeshis at the gram panchayat level. 'Verification and identification of foreign nationals will be completed soon,' Naik said. The 48-hour deadline issued to the 12 Pakistani nationals ended on Monday. Only one woman, Nagma Yusuf — who was living in Bhubaneswar's BJB Nagar — has so far left. Nagma, who married an Indian citizen in 2008, had her LTV renewal applications rejected recently. Nagma, who had applied for an exit permit with the foreigners' registration office here a few days before the expiry of the visitor visa in February, got approval on Saturday, Bhubaneswar DCP Jagmohan Meena said. While Nagma left the State, 53-year-old Pakistan-born Sharada Kukreja, who has been living in Bolangir district for 35 years after marrying an Indian citizen, has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi not to separate her from her family. Sharada, who was born in Sukkur city in Pakistan's Sindh province, fled to India in 1987 to escape forced conversion and marriage to a Muslim youth there. She is married to Mahesh Kumar Kukreja and has two children - a son and a daughter - both of whom are married. Similarly, 72-year-old Razia Sultana of Soro in Balasore district has also received a deportation notice. Her family claimed that the notice was a serious error since she was born in Kolkata in 1953. Razia's family claimed she holds an Aadhaar card, voter ID, PAN card, and residence certificate. She has never visited Pakistan and holds no Pakistani documents or visa, her daughter Salma Parbin said.
