Hina Khan reveals love story with husband Rocky Jaiswal, says he ‘never left her side' during battle with cancer
Actress Hina Khan has been battling breast cancer for more than a year now. While she has been undergoing treatment, Hina returned to work within a few months of her diagnosis. On June 4, the actress also got married to her long-time beau, Rocky Jaiswal, in an intimate ceremony. Both Hina and Rocky will now be seen on Colors TV's upcoming reality show Pati, Patni, Aur Panga. The shooting for the show began recently, and at its premiere, Hina Khan spoke about how her husband stood by her side through the tough times. At the show's grand premiere, Hina spoke about her relationship with Rocky and said, 'I met Rocky more than a decade ago, and honestly, I never thought this is where life would take us. We met on the set of my first show, and when he came in, I didn't like him. But time has a way of changing things. Slowly, we started talking, and before we knew it, we were friends, sharing stories, laughing, understanding each other without even realizing what was happening. Then one day, there was this hug…and it just felt different. That was the moment we knew. There were no proposals, no big words, just that feeling that this is it.' Also Read: Hina Khan shares emotional wedding video with husband Rocky Jaiswal: 'With all the uncertainties in life…' A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) Sharing how Rocky supported her during her battle with cancer, Hina Khan added, 'What came after hasn't been easy. Life tested us in ways I never imagined. And through all of it, Rocky never left my side. He put everything, his work, his health, his peace, behind just to make sure I was okay. That's not something you see every day. Most people walk away when things get hard, but he didn't.' A post shared by SCREEN (@ieentertainment) Rocky also said, 'If I could take her pain and make it mine, I would have done it in a second. But that's not possible, so I did the only thing I could: be there for her. For me, that was never a big thing. I love her, and being there for her was the easiest decision of my life. The truth is, no matter how close you are, you can never really know the extent of what it takes to fight what Hina was fighting. Even as a partner, you have limitations. You sit beside them, you hold their hand, but the battle was hers. Every day brings a new challenge, and every day they fight it with a courage that humbles you. But she refused to back down. I'm grateful that I get to wake up wanting to do better for her, because she deserves that and more. It's not about me or how I feel. It's about her — in sickness or health, in pain or love, in despair or hope. It's only ever about her happiness and well-being.' Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal will be seen on Pati, Patni, Aur Panga alongside Gurmeet Chaudhary-Debina Bonnerjee, Rubina Dilaik-Abhinav Shukla, and many others. The show is hosted by Munawar Faruqui and Sonali Bendre. Pati, Patni, Aur Panga will air on Colors TV from 2nd August, every Saturday-Sunday at 9:30 pm.

A passenger jet waiting to take off from Ahmedabad's airport, which is hemmed in by urban development in the city. — The New York Times BHAVESH Patni had just sat down to a lunch of eggplant and potato curry with his family when an Air India plane roared off the runway behind their home, flew overhead and crashed into a medical college campus just visible from their building. As Patni climbed to the terrace to watch the flames from the disaster that would claim 241 lives on board and at least 34 on the ground in the city of Ahmedabad, he shuddered at how close his family had come to catastrophe.

Chiratae-backed Uniphore Technologies in talks to raise up to $250 million
Mumbai: Uniphore Technologies, the conversational automation startup backed by Chiratae Ventures and Iron Pillar, is in talks to raise $200–250 million in fresh capital, according to two people familiar with the matter. 'The company has had discussions with several investors, including US-based strategic players, to fund its expansion plans and increase investments in artificial intelligence (AI)," one of the people said. The second person added that discussions on valuation are still underway, but the company is expected to see an uptick from the $2.5 billion valuation it secured in 2022. 'While we are seeing tremendous interest in our Business AI Cloud and are always engaging with potential strategic partners, we don't have anything to share at this time," a spokesperson for the company said. The fundraising comes more than three years after Uniphore raised about $400 million in its Series E round in February 2022, bringing its total funding at the time to around $610 million. That round, led by New Enterprise Associates, also saw participation from March Capital and others, and valued the company at $2.5 billion. Uniphore's other backers include 360 One, IIFL Finance, Sistema Asia, CXO Fund, ITP, Sorenson Capital Partners, the Patni family, and Infosys co-founder Kris Gopalakrishnan. In 2022, the company said it would use the proceeds to expand its technology and market leadership across voice AI, computer vision, and tonal emotion, while scaling business operations in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The company reported revenue of ₹313.5 crore in FY24, down from ₹508.2 crore the previous year. Net profit fell to ₹4.9 crore from ₹142.8 crore in FY23, according to data from Tracxn. The company derives the bulk of its revenue from the US. This comes amid a broader slowdown in the SaaS industry, marked by sluggish revenue growth and persistently high costs. As businesses reassess their AI spending, concerns around safety, security, and privacy have taken precedence, amplified by an uncertain global economic environment. Demand for enterprise-grade conversational automation tools has surged in recent years, as companies seek to optimise costs while delivering seamless customer experiences. Uniphore has made key acquisitions to strengthen its technology stack, including Emotion Research Lab for emotion AI capabilities, and Jacada for low-code/no-code solutions. Founded in Chennai in 2008 by Umesh Sachdev and Ravi Saraogi, Uniphore offers a conversational automation platform that integrates conversational AI, workflow automation, and robotic process automation. The company has offices in the US, India, Spain, Israel, the UK, and the UAE, according to its website. India's domestic AI market is projected to more than triple to $17 billion by 2027, according to a BCG report published last month. The country already accounts for 16% of the global AI talent pool—second only to the US—and is home to more than 600,000 AI professionals, a number expected to double to 1.25 million by 2027.
