UK singer Rameet Sandhu on adjusting to rural lifestyle for Rannvijay Singha's 'Chhoriyan Chali Gaon'
The series follows urban women as they adapt to rural life. In an exclusive interview, Sandhu opened up about the challenges she faced while adjusting to the new environment. When asked about the challenges, Rameet shared, 'I don't think exploring a rural life will be too tough. I really enjoy Indian food when I get the chance to eat it—but I don't know how to cook yet. So, I'll learn everything there. The food will be fresh, and that's exciting.' 'We live in cities where everything moves so fast—constant noise, pollution, chaos. But in the village, I expect peace. And the most important thing for me is being able to connect and talk to the villagers. That human connection is what I'm really looking forward to.' Revealing what made her say yes to the reality show, the singer mentioned, 'Actually, this is my very first reality show. And Zeek is such a big name, so honestly, I couldn't say no. The concept itself is so unique. I was born in the UK and currently live in Dubai—and now I'm heading to a village! That's a major shift, a complete challenge for me. And I really enjoy taking on challenges in life.' Rameet Sandhu also shared her thoughts on embracing a completely new lifestyle. Coming from the UK, she revealed that she's put in a lot of effort to adjust to rural life, even going the extra mile to learn Hindi. 'I'm heading into village life now,' she said, adding that all she needs is the audience's love and support as she takes on this new challenge. 'Chhoriyan Chali Gaon,' an upcoming rural adventure reality show, is produced by Banijay Asia in collaboration with Zee TV. The show is inspired by the hit Zee Marathi series 'Jau Bai Gaavat.' The format will feature urban contestants stepping away from their usual comforts to take on the everyday challenges of village life.

U.S.-Based Researcher Sandhya Guduru Uses AI to Catch Invisible Hackers
Headlines about cyberattacks on large corporations are common. As the technology advances, so do these attacks, becoming quieter and more advanced. In fractions of seconds, large and complicated databases are hacked despite maximum layered protection applied to them. Advanced cyberthreats need even more advanced security solutions. According to Sandhya Guduru, AI-enhanced security of databases and networks is the imminent need of the hour. Sandhya Guduru, a cybersecurity researcher and software engineer based in the United States, is working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and network forensics to help organizations detect threats they never see coming. With global cybercrime damages projected to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025 and AI-based cybersecurity solutions expected to grow at a compound annual rate of over 23% (MarketsandMarkets), Guduru's work is well timed. Her focus is on improving the detection of covert C2 traffic using AI models that think the way human investigators would. She is developing systems that make security smarter, not just faster. Detecting malicious signals within noisy network traffic is one of cybersecurity's enduring puzzles. In particular, command-and-control (C2) beaconing the periodic communication between compromised machines and an attacker's server is often designed to avoid triggering traditional security alarms. These transmissions may look like normal traffic at first glance, slipping past signature-based tools and rule-driven systems that rely on matching known behaviour. The urgency to rethink these methods has grown. As attackers use encrypted traffic, proxy networks, or random intervals, defenders are left with tools that were never meant to catch what they can no longer predict. That's where Guduru's work with Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) enters the picture. At the center of Guduru's recent research is Zeek, an open-source network monitoring framework known for its comprehensive logging of network activity. Instead of analyzing each log entry in isolation, Guduru's approach involves restructuring these logs into graph models, where devices become nodes and their interactions form the connecting edges. This structure allows AI to look for abnormal relationships and centralities indicators that a particular device might be serving as a secret communications hub. Guduru informs that "the technology at play here is GCNs, which excel at uncovering patterns in graph data. They're really good at spotting hidden patterns in how devices talk to each other on a network. It's not just about finding something that looks strange it's about understanding how that strange thing connects to everything else. That's where real threats can hide." By applying graph centrality metrics like degree and betweenness, her system can spot devices that are acting suspiciously connecting in odd patterns, at odd times, or with unusual frequency. That gives analysts a new layer of insight beyond just packet inspection. While AI-powered analytics can be powerful, they're often built in silos. One of Guduru's key innovations is embedding her detection models directly into Splunk Enterprise Security (ES), a widely used security information and event management (SIEM) platform. This integration allows analysts to access AI-derived insights within the workflows they already use reducing the burden of adopting new tools and improving operational response time. Guduru has not limited her knowledge and experience to a single solution. She has used her knack for research in finding more advanced solutions. In another paper, she combines GCN-based detection with other advanced methods: Sigma rules, Elastic's Event Query Language (EQL), and the MITRE Cyber Analytics Repository (CAR). This blend of approaches helps detect threats with greater precision and understand their context. Instead of raising false alarms, her system focuses on the signals that truly matter helping security teams act faster and with more confidence. Guduru's practical background in cloud and DevSecOps has shaped her research with an eye toward automation. She has engineered serverless response systems using AWS Lambda and Azure Functions that take automated action when suspicious activity is detected quarantining hosts, alerting teams, and logging incidents for later review. This kind of real-time, intelligent response is what cybersecurity teams have long aimed for, especially as they face alert fatigue from thousands of false alarms each day. Guduru's work doesn't just promise better detection it reduces the time between finding a problem and acting on it. Sandhya Guduru's work connects academic insight with practical use, bringing AI research directly into the hands of cybersecurity teams. Her models don't just flag threats they help explain how attacks unfold, giving defenders a better understanding of the situation and helping them respond faster and more effectively. As cyber threats grow more complex, her research offers a way to cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters. By turning complex traffic patterns into clear signals, Guduru is helping teams track, interpret, and respond to hidden threats with more confidence and precision. .

Gangs of London Season 4: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 14, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated June 14, 2025, 16:42 IST Gangs of London has captivated audiences with its gritty portrayal of London's criminal underworld, intense action sequences, and complex characters. After the explosive third season aired on Sky Atlantic and NOW on March 20, 2025, fans are eagerly awaiting news about Gangs of London Season 4. Will the brutal turf wars continue? Here's everything we know so far about the potential release date, cast, plot, and more, crafted to keep you informed and engaged. Gangs of London Season 4 Release Date Speculation If Gangs of London Season 4 is greenlit, the release date will depend on production timelines. Previous seasons faced delays due to large-scale production and cinematic quality, with a two-and-a-half-year gap between Seasons 2 and 3. Assuming a similar schedule, production could begin in mid-2025 if renewed soon, potentially leading to a release in late 2026 or early 2027—possibly between October 2026 and March 2027. Gangs of London Season 4 Expected Cast The Gangs of London cast has seen major shake-ups, with Season 3 delivering shocking exits, including Sean Wallace (Joe Cole) and Ed Dumani (Lucian Msamati). If Season 4 happens, the returning cast will likely focus on surviving characters, with new faces potentially joining the fray. Based on Season 3's survivors and narrative potential, here's who we might see: Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù as Elliot Carter : Now the central figure, Elliot's transformation from undercover cop to guilt-ridden kingpin will likely anchor Season 4. His internal conflict and leadership role make him indispensable. Michelle Fairley as Marian Wallace : The fierce matriarch, who avenged Sean's death, remains a key player in the Wallace family's legacy. Brian Vernel as Billy Wallace : His uncertain fate at the end of Season 3—possibly dead but unconfirmed—leaves room for a dramatic return or closure. Narges Rashidi as Lale : Her alliance with Asif Afridi (Asif Raza Mir) positions her as a major threat in the underworld. Andrew Koji as Zeek Kimura : Introduced as Finn Wallace's illegitimate son and a skilled assassin, Zeek's role could expand as he vies for power. T'Nia Miller as Simone Thearle: The mayor's drug legalization plan will disrupt the gangs, making her a pivotal figure if she returns. Gangs of London Season 4 Potential Plot Season 3 ended with London's underworld in chaos, setting the stage for compelling storylines in a potential Season 4. The mayor's drug legalization trial, Elliot's moral turmoil, and Zeek's emergence as a wildcard provide fertile ground for drama. Here's a speculative outline based on Season 3's threads: Elliot's Redemption or Ruin : Elliot, now a broken man haunted by his descent into crime, may seek redemption by leveraging his past as a cop to navigate the legalized drug trade. Alternatively, he could fully embrace his dark side, clashing with enemies like Lale and Zeek. His guilt over betraying his wife's memory will drive his arc. Drug Legalization Fallout : Simone Thearle's plan to legalize drugs threatens the gangs' profits, forcing Elliot, Marian, and others to adapt or retaliate. This could spark new alliances, betrayals, or escalated turf wars as the criminal landscape shifts. Zeek's Power Grab : As Finn's secret son, Zeek may aim to claim the Wallace legacy, leading to conflicts with Marian and Elliot. His assassin skills and unpredictable nature make him a formidable threat. Billy's Fate: The ambiguous ending for Billy Wallace—potentially killed off-screen—could resolve with his survival or confirmation of his death, impacting Marian's motivations. Where to Watch Gangs of London Season 4 If renewed, Gangs of London Season 4 will premiere on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK, with AMC+ likely handling U.S. broadcasts, following the pattern of previous seasons.

I hope to compose music for Shah Rukh Khan's films, says musician Zeek
Mumbai-born DJ and producer Zeek's journey began with a spark ignited at a Goa music festival, leading him from local gigs to mentorship under Amaal Mallik. His move to Los Angeles marked a new chapter, culminating in co-producing 'Higher Love' for the Smurfs movie soundtrack with DJ Khaled and Cardi B. For Zeek, music wasn't something he sought, it found him. The Mumbai-born DJ and music producer traces his journey back to a music festival in Goa, where Axwell's set ignited a spark. A borrowed DJ setup and local gigs at The Little Door in Lokhandwala soon followed, but Zeek's ambitions grew bigger. "I realized I didn't just want to play music—I wanted to make it," he says. Under the mentorship of Bollywood composer Amaal Mallik, Zeek honed his skills, blending pop and Western sounds into his work. But his creative instincts eventually led him to Los Angeles, where a new chapter began—both personally and professionally. 'Moving here meant starting over. But I trusted the process,' he shares. Bridging Bollywood and Hollywood While he sees Bollywood and Hollywood as "siblings separated by distance," Zeek acknowledges the challenges each industry faces. "Both have their own madness and magic," he says, adding that Bollywood still has ground to cover in areas like royalties and songwriter recognition. Still, he remains a self-professed "Bollywood fan forever—always a Shah Rukh Khan fan."

Brought together by friend and songwriter Natania, Zeek helped craft the song's Punjabi section, giving it a unique Indian flavor. A chance meeting with Ty Ty Smith, CEO of Roc Nation, led to a surprise: DJ Khaled and Cardi B jumping on the track. 'It was surreal,' Zeek recalls. 'I used to add DJ Khaled tags to my beats back in Andheri—and now he's on a track I co-produced.' Looking Ahead: Dreams and New Sounds Currently, Zeek is part of The Indian Connect collective, alongside Aman Moroney, Subhi, and Natania, creating music that blends Indian roots with global pop. Their recent work includes 50-50 for Armaan Malik's wedding EP, Savre. Through his independent project Zeek, he's focused on creating a genre-fluid sound that marries electronic dance music with Indian melodies. New music from The Smurfs movie soundtrack drops on July 18, promising even more of Zeek's signature cross-cultural magic. And there's still one dream he's manifesting: "I hope to one day compose music for Shah Rukh Khan's films. That would truly be a full-circle moment."
