The Heeramandi star said that he finds the conversation around nepotism extremely futile. 'I can say I am the best example of nepotism, as I didn't get any work because of nepotism, I can prove that. And you know I feel nepotism is a very futile debate, and I think it became a sort of fashion conversation,' said Adhyayan to Bollywood Bubble. Speaking about Netflix and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi, the actor said he found himself to be in a 'shocking' phase. 'I didn't get the kind of roles I expected,' he shared. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Suman said that his role in SLB's series, Zorawar, was a 'relatively smaller role' but it was an 'impactful' one. 'I thought my luck will change now and I will get good work, good roles, but nothing of that sort happened. And for 6 months, I thought that for so long I was thinking that I am not getting a good opportunity, I got the opportunity to work with arguably the biggest filmmaker in the country today, Mr Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who came out and spoke about me. Still, you know, I didn't get the work, who am I supposed to blame? Myself or the people in the industry,' the actor shared. Despite living a luxurious life, Adhyayan the actor is fully aware that the life he is living is because of his father's hard work. Comparing his luxurious life to jail, the actor said, 'Luxury feels like jail at one point of your life. No matter how many cars that your father gives you or the house or the penthouses that you live in or the vacations that you go to, people like me with a conscience to do something in life are miserable.' He added, 'Because what you do beyond the point… I mean, you've owned the car, you've owned the house, it's not yours, it's your father's, it's his hard work, you've enjoyed it. But beyond the point, you feel like, 'what is mine?' At 37, I don't own a home.'

India's first AI-enabled light tank Zorawar to roll out from Guj soon
Ahmedabad: India is preparing to roll out its first indigenous AI-enabled light tank, Zorawar, being manufactured at Larsen & Toubro's (L&T) facility in Gujarat's Hazira shortly, defence sources said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Developed in collaboration with the (DRDO), Zorawar represents a major leap in India's defence manufacturing capability. Nearly 400 units of the Zorawar tank will be produced in the first phase, with each tank estimated to cost around Rs 70 crore. The total requirement is pegged at approximately 1,000 tanks. This next-generation, all-terrain tank will be the first AI-enabled tank for deployment across deserts, plains, high-altitude mountains, marshlands and even waterbodies. Senior defence officials stated that several components of the tank were locally sourced, with MSMEs in Vadodara, Rajkot and Surat contributing to its parts. The tank's cooling system, rubber foundry and gear mechanisms were all conceptualised and developed domestically. Weighing just around 25 tonnes — significantly lighter than traditional 70-tonne tanks — Zorawar is optimised for rapid deployment and can be easily airlifted using military aircraft. Its lightweight, high-strength titanium body is fitted with 80gm armoured plating. The tank is tailored for high-altitude warfare, particularly along the Indo-China border including regions like Ladakh. After Operation Sindoor, Zorawar is also being considered for deployment along the Indo-Pak border, especially in Punjab, where its agility in narrow terrains could offer strategic advantages, the defence official stated. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Named after the 19th century Dogra general, Zorawar Singh — known for his military campaigns in Ladakh and western Tibet — the tank carries his legacy of mountain warfare. Zorawar is built for modern battlefield conditions with several advanced features. "Its AI-enabled fire control system allows the tank to automatically identify and lock on to targets, requiring just two to three crew members instead of the usual four to five. A key addition is its integrated anti-drone defence system that can detect, track and neutralise aerial threats autonomously," the defence official said.

Mamma Killa is Delhi's first Aztec members-only bar
There is a certain enigma that Mehrauli in Delhi boasts. The centre point of the neighbourhood is the towering Qutub Minar, around which exists a civilisation of fine dining restaurants, bars, and designer boutiques. Amid this ancient-meets-modern setting, India's first Aztec bar — Mamma Killa — has opened up, inviting intrigue and curiosity for its members-only policy. True to its name, the 35-cover space (above fine dining restaurant, Swan) channels the mysticism of the 'mother of moon' in its décor, cocktail and food. 'A story born in the 16th century — where Incan rituals collided with Asian rhythms', reads the cocktail menu. A passion project by restaurateur Zorawar Kalra — founder of Massive Restaurants that has Farzi Café, Pa Pa Ya, and Masala Library under its ambit — Mamma Killa is nothing like Delhi has ever seen. A flight of stairs (through Swan) takes you to a 'secret space' á la speakeasies, where the vibe is laid back yet chic, elite yet inclusive, with enough privacy. 'The goal was simple. We wanted to build an exclusive space for people in Delhi who are adding value to the artistic and cultural fabric of the city. There is no membership fee but we decide who comes,' explains Zorawar. A rigorous process drives the selection of the members, and the number currently stands at about 100. Those who are interested could send a DM to Mamma Killa's Instagram account (which is private) or fill up a form on its official website. Once all the details are received, Zorawar and his wife, Dildeep Kalra, along with senior staff, go through the applications and decide who gets to be a part of this sanctuary. 'We plan to build a panel to review these applications. It will have people across all walks of life, be it a 25-year-old startup entrepreneur, a 30-year-old fashionista, or someone influential from the food and beverage space,' he adds. Members can only enter the 'secret space' using a physical black-and-gold membership card. They also have the advantage of bringing friends and family along, or reserving tables for others using their membership details. Zorawar gives me a sneak peek into the invitation kit, which has a shot measure, chocolates, a scented candle and diary (besides the membership card) to welcome guests to the Mamma Killa family. Once you are a part of the coterie, a curated experience awaits you. The cocktails put together by bar manager Suvrat Mahindroo, are all about 'drinking what you eat'. For instance, there is Pizza-ila with pesto-washed tequila, tomato and basil, which was garnished with maple charred cherry tomato. Pachamanca is another tequila drink with a marigold infusion, clarified with apricot and peach milk. It is topped with in-house chrysanthemum soda. Two of my favourite drinks from the menu are Ceviche and Milky Way (when whisky is not even my spirit of choice). The former has a mix of tequila and mezcal for a smoky flavour while the leches de tigre (citrus based marinade) used for clarification added to its authenticity. The Milky Way was a surprise. The velvety whisky-based cocktail, inspired by the dessert tiramisu, has shiitake mushroom and tiramisu cordial as its primary ingredients. It comes with a homemade truffle chocolate with notes of coffee, orange and truffle oil. But the show stealer is the Guéridon Cocktail Trolley that Suvrat calls a 'reverse Omakase concept'. Guests can pick between four elixirs: Orange-Vetiver, Palo Santo-Bee Pollen, Banana-Fig, and Lotus Biscoff-Caramel and their spirit of choice, besides the glassware and garnish like tobico, house pickle or caramelised citrus. The food menu is small but clever. It has sushi, tacos, appetisers, and pide (Turkish flatbread) to nibble on with drinks. Some standout dishes include Black Mango Maki, Tamago Maki, Tori Karage with Avocado Mash tacos, Tropical Prawn Robata and Comfort Wings sous vide in Coca Cola. While the food, drinks and the ambiance make for Instagrammable frames, Mamma Killa has a no-photo policy that members must abide by.
