Married since 2005, Indian boxing legend Mary Kom is reportedly going through a tough phase in her personal life. Mary and her husband Karung Onkholer, aka Onler, are said to be on the verge of divorce, having been living apart from each other for a while now. The trouble in the couple's paradise is said to have started after Mary's husband, Onler's defeat in the 2022 Manipur Assembly Elections. The couple had reportedly spent Rs 2-3 crores while campaigning, but the defeat in the elections left the two shattered.
As per a report in Hindustan Times, Mary has since moved to their Faridabad house with all four children. Onler, on the other hand, is in Delhi.
"Mary moved to Faridabad with their (four) children, while Onler has been living in Delhi with some family members," a source close to the couple told the paper. "Their differences escalated after the elections. Mary was reportedly unhappy about the financial losses - around INR 2-3 crores - incurred during the campaign and (the fact) that he lost."
The report also claimed that Onler wasn't keen on entering the political landscape but agreed to contest elections on Mary's insistence.
"It was Mary's idea. He didn't want to contest and had warned her that Manipur's political landscape was volatile at the time," the paper quoted a source as saying. "After the defeat, things worsened. Their usual marital disagreements turned serious, and Mary moved into her Faridabad house with the kids."
No official communication from the couple has yet been made public, but a boxer, on the condition of anonymity, has said that the rumours of Mary and Onler getting a divorce might actually be true. In fact, the boxer even claimed that Mary is also in a relationship with another boxer's husband.
"The separation rumours about Mary Kom and Onler might not be just rumours. No one knows the reason for sure, though. Everyone whispers about Mary ma'am being in a relationship with another boxer's husband. Speculation has been fuelled further by her recent Instagram posts featuring him as her business associate."
Thes report also pointed out the pain Onler has had to go through since Mary moved out.
"He's heartbroken. He has always been a devoted father and gave up his football career to support Mary and raise their kids. Now he's unable to meet them, and it's taken a toll on him emotionally. It is no secret that he put his career on hold so that Mary could build hers," the source said in the report.
A Danish chef couple, known for their environment-friendly retreat Stedsans, has reportedly fled to Guatemala amid a probe by tax authorities. Flemming Hansen and Mette Helbaek also left 158 barrels of human waste and sewerage now seeping into the nearby forest, The Guardian reported.
Their staff claimed that several animals, including ducks, died as a result of the couple leaving them outside during the night, and that other animals were abandoned after they disappeared.
Hansen and Helbaek claimed to have "felt the call of the wild" when they established their supposedly eco-friendly resort, Stedsans, in Halland, southern Sweden. The couple previously operated a popular rooftop restaurant in Copenhagen.
Reviewers and influencers praised Stedsans, consisting of 16 wooden houses with nature views, calling it "enchanting luxury" and "magical,".
But then, Stedsans was declared bankrupt in March; and the pair allegedly registered as foreign residents prior to Christmas.
The couple is under investigation for leaving a trail of financial and environmental catastrophe after their sudden departure months ago, The Guardian reported, citing Danish media.
After leaving Copenhagen in 2016, where they owed millions of kroner to Danish tax authorities, the pair moved to Sweden and founded Stedsans.
Following the establishment of Stedsans, Hansen and Helbaek began accruing debt to Swedish tax authorities, which reportedly reached 6 million SEK (Euro 470,000).
They have since opened a second hotel in Guatemala.
On their website, the couple said they came very far with Stedsans but also realised that being soul-driven entrepreneurs on a mission in a country with some of the highest in the world and relentless bureaucracy, it was an impossible task.
"When you read this we have probably been declared bankrupt by the Swedish tax authorities. All we ever wanted was to be a part of creating a more beautiful planet," they added.
Authorities are currently looking into the legal and environmental infractions connected to the couple's abrupt disappearance. Officials called the couple's actions "environmental crime," and Daniel Helsing, who leads the county's construction and environment department, expressed shock and said, "Voila. Over 150 barrels of human shit."

Amid outrage over a video in which a man is seen groping a woman on a Bengaluru street before running away, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara's comment will likely add to the public anger. Responding to questions over the shocking video, the minister in charge of law and order has said such incidents can occur in a big city like Bengaluru.
A convicted drug trafficker, freed by President Donald Trump during his first term, was arrested again on Friday following a series of crimes, including charges of injuring a three-year-old. Jonathan Braun was arrested by the US Marshals Service at a hotel in Long Island.
Mr Braun, 41, from Nassau County, has been accused of punching a man during a dinner at his home. After arguing with the man, he shoved his three-year-old child to the ground, according to the complaint.
Brooklyn federal prosecutors revealed that the child got hurt and had a red mark on his back. Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto detained Mr Braun without bail for violating the terms of his supervised release.
At a hearing in Brooklyn federal court, the judge said, "I am concerned about the nature of the offences. People are getting hurt." She added, "My concern is there are repeated instances of violence and showing lack of stability."
Prosecutors allege that in recent months, Mr Braun also threatened a man during prayers at a synagogue, sexually assaulted his nanny, and attacked a hospital nurse in separate incidents.
The court papers allege that in January, Mr Braun shouted at a congregant who told him to be quiet. He said, "Do you know who I am or what I can do to you?"
Mr Braun is known to have ties with Mr Trump's ally, Charles Kushner. He also has a picture of the 47th President at one of Florida's golf courses in 2022.
Mr Braun was arrested in 2010 for running a huge marijuana business. He served less than three years of a 10-year sentence before Mr Trump let him out of prison on the last day of his first term as president.

Trump Reciprocal Tariffs | How Will US Tariffs Impact You? Tariffs Simplified US President Donald Trump has announced significant reciprocal tariffs on India and China, but said he is being kind on them by charging roughly "half of what they charge us". Calling these as "discounted reciprocal tariffs", President Trump said the US will charge an import duty of 26 per cent on India and 34 per cent on China. But what are tariffs & how do they work? Will it impact your pocket? Is Trump's tariff imposition bad for US itself? Watch to find out
Thousands of immigrant techies, including Indians, are living in the United States in uncertainty over their future under President Donald Trump's stringent immigration policies. Major tech companies, including Google and Amazon, are reportedly asking their H-1B visa holder employee to not leave American soil out of concern they might not be allowed back in.
There are fears that denial rates for high-skilled visas could rise, as they did during President Trump's first term in the White House, according to a report by The Washington Post. The report said the Trump administration's efforts to end automatic citizenship for those born in the US are also making H-1B visa holders fear that their future children could be stateless.
America's H-1B visa programme allows US employers to hire foreign workers in so-called specialty occupations. Every year, 65,000 such visas are issued through a lottery system. In recent years, Indians have received the highest number of H-1B visas, followed by Chinese and Canadian nationals.
Silicon Valley's immigrant tech community has long been seen as one of the key forces behind the US competitiveness in the technology sector. According to a 2018 study by think tank National Foundation for American Policy, more than half of US start-ups valued at more than $1 billion had an immigrant founder or co-founder. The executives of some of the biggest tech giants in the US are immigrants, including those of Microsoft, Google, Uber and chip giant Nvidia.
But under Trump's immigration policies, the future of this community in the country is uncertain. Experts believe that reducing the immigrant workforce from the tech industry could hamper America's ability to compete with China in the race to develop sophisticated technology like artificial intelligence.
“What we're seeing right now is just a lot of worry and panic...It seems like [the administration is] just getting more and more momentum, and we don't know what's around the corner,” Malcolm Goeschl, principal attorney for Goeschl Law, a San Francisco-based firm focused on business immigration that serves clients in the tech industry, told The Washington Post.
Per the report, Amazon had the highest number of H-1B visas approved amongst all Big Tech firms in America, followed by Google, Meta, Microsoft and Apple. Tesla, whose billionaire CEO Elon Musk is a close aide of President Trump and is leading the administration's efforts to cut federal spending, had 1,767 approved H1Bs in the fiscal year ending in September 2024. IT outsourcing companies like Infosys and Cognizant also account for a large portion of H1B applications.
However, late last year, before Trump took the oath of office, law firms working for Google and Amazon warned the companies' employees with visas to think twice before traveling abroad, out of concern they might not be allowed back into the U.S, according to The Washington Post report.
At least two H-1B visa holders told the publication that they had to cancel their travel plans to India amid fear of being denied re-entry to the US.
One Indian immigrant said his elder daughter was born a US citizen, but the future of his second child seems opaque as they may not get citizenship in either the US or India. “There's an assumption that everybody who is not a US citizen might be here illegally,” they told the publication through an attorney.
The uncertainty has also created some practical challenges, as many immigrants are always carrying their documentation while in public. “When we're walking around, we always carry our documents,” the other worker said through her attorney.
Immigration lawyers are also reporting anxieties among immigrants due to worries over unexpected changes to visa processes, which are negatively affecting their productivity.
“It definitely impacts their performance,” an HR representative of a tech firm in Silicon Valley told The Washington Post. “The threat is looming that some action will be taken against them.”
The HR representative added that the uncertainty is also adding to the cost of the company, as they have to pay for expediting the processing of some H-1B extensions to counteract delays related.
The issue of H1B visas has emerged as a bone of contention among Trump's supporters. This was visible in December when the two sides argued on X over whether Trump should boost or suppress skilled immigration.
“The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low...“If you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be,” Elon Musk wrote on X on Christmas. He received pushback from some Republicans, including former presidential hopeful Nikki Haley, who said the country should invest in education to train more American-born tech workers.
So far, Trump has not said anything about ending the H1B program or other skilled visas; however, it was part of his agenda in his first term.
Meanwhile, the processing of Green Card requests, which is immigrants' path to permanent residency, is also facing unprecedented delays. Even Aravind Srinivas, CEO of AI company Perplexity, that recently valued at $9 billion, said on social media that he has been waiting three years for a green card despite founding a company that employs hundreds.
“People mostly have no idea when they talk about immigration,” Srinivas posted on X.
Actor Jean-Claude Van Damme is facing a criminal complaint in Romania for allegedly engaging in sexual relations with trafficked women.
The 64-year-old Street Fighter actor is accused of accepting five Romanian women as a "gift" from a criminal network led by Morel Bolea, according to CNN affiliate Antena 3.
Romanian authorities have filed a complaint with the Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT), alleging the 64-year-old was aware the women were victims of human trafficking.
The alleged incident reportedly took place in Cannes, France, during an event organised by Van Damme. One of the women later provided testimony, leading DIICOT to launch an investigation.
Attorney Adrian Cuculis, representing one of the victims, said, "The women were in a state of vulnerability, with clear indications of exploitation."
He further said, "Several Romanians under investigation for forming a criminal group and trafficking offered Jean-Claude Van Damme five Romanian women. The recipient knew their condition."
It's the second high-profile case from Romania after Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested on sex trafficking charges in 2022 and only recently permitted to leave the country.
Who is Jean-Claude Van Damme?
Jean-Claude Van Damme is a Belgian martial artist, actor, and filmmaker, best known for action films like Bloodsport (1988), Kickboxer (1989), and Universal Soldier (1992). Born in 1960 in Belgium, he trained in karate and kickboxing before moving to Hollywood in the 1980s.
Nicknamed "The Muscles from Brussels," he became a major action star in the '90s. Despite career highs, he faced struggles with substance abuse and legal issues. He was addicted to cocaine and was arrested for drunk driving and domestic violence once.
As a teenager, he held records in competitive karate - achieving 44 victories and only four defeats. He was a member of the Belgium Karate Team that won the European Karate Championship in 1979.

Meanwhile, New Zealand won the series-opener to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. After being put into bat, the Kiwis, led by Mark Chapman's second ODI century, posted 344/9 in 50 overs at the McLean Park.
Chapman inflicted misery upon his favourite opponents once more, slamming a career-best 132 off 111 balls. A 199-run stand for the fourth wicket between him and Daryl Mitchell revived New Zealand's after the Pakistan bowlers did well to reduce them to 3/50.
Mitchell slammed 76 off 84 balls, before Abbas' blitz steered New Zealand close to 350. For the visitors, Akif Javed claimed 2-55 on his international debut, but the best figures were recorded by part-time seamer Irfan Khan, who took 3-51 off five expensive overs at the death.
In reply, Pakistan looked on track at 249-3 after half-centuries from the recalled Babar Azam and vice-captain Salman Ali Agha. Babar top-scored for Pakistan with 78 off 83 balls, but it was his dismissal that sparked a batting collapse.
The visitors lost seven wickets in the space of 22 runs, including Babar and Salam (58 off 48). Nathan Smith took 4/60.
"The way we started second innings, we went with good intent. When you are near the chase, pressure increases, three-four overs changed the momentum. Pitch was not good early on, difficult to bat on...Chapman played fantastically and put good runs. We need to improve more and take benefit of the toss. We had some new guys in the middle order and it's difficult because they are playing in challenging conditions," Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan said after the match.
"I think it was a great game of ODI cricket, lots of ebbs and flows. You can apply some T20 skills that the young players are learning quickly. It's great to see ODI cricket still alive I guess. (on bowling main quicks early on) You just try use your resources as best as you can, fortunately it paid off. You roll the dice and luckily it came off for me today. (on Abbas) it's a great sign for domestic cricket that guys coming in and stepping up and playing the way they play in domestic cricket. To stay in the game, keep fighting, that New Zealand spirit and it's what we re all about," Kiwi skipper Michael Bracewell added.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday presented Rs 1 lakh crore FY26 Budget with 10 focus areas, including electricity, roads, water, and connectivity. Calling it a "historic Budget," Ms Gupta emphasized that the era of "corruption and inefficiency" was over, and announced that the government had doubled capital expenditure to Rs 28,000 crore. The Budget outlay for fiscal year 2025-26, marks a 31.5 per cent increase from the previous year. "This is not an ordinary Budget, this Budget is the first step to develop Delhi which was ruined in the past 10 years. Delhi went down in every aspect of development in the past decade. The previous government ruined the economic health of the national capital like termites," Ms Gupta, who also holds the Finance portfolio said.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar snapped back at the BJP Monday in a rapidly escalating face-off over his "the Constitution will be changing" remark, which was made amid another row - this time over the state's four per cent minority quota for public contracts.
Mr Shivakumar accused his rivals of misquoting him and spreading fake news and called out BJP boss JP Nadda, who - accompanied by slogan-shouting and jeering in the Rajya Sabha - this morning accused the Karnataka leader and his party of trying to "shred the Constitution".
"I am a sensible and senior politician... more so than Mr Nadda. I have been in the Assembly for the last 36 years. I have basic common sense. I casually said there would be changes after various judgements (by the courts) ... I never said we are going to change the Constitution."
"Whatever they are quoting me as saying is wrong. They are miscarrying it. We are a national party... our party brought Constitution to this country..." Mr Shivakumar told reporters.

The Congress leader also vowed to file a breach of privilege notice.
The two parties have gone head-to-head over the Karnataka government's four per cent minority quota order, which the BJP has slammed as "minority appeasement". Mr Nadda, speaking in the Rajya Sabha, declared the Constitution does not permit reservations in the name of religion.

"In Karnataka, the Congress has already introduced four per cent reservation based on religion for public contracts. Such laws and policies should be withdrawn. No one can change the Constitution that evolved under the guidance of BR Ambedkar," he stated.
Mr Nadda's comments and vociferous statements by his Congress counterpart, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, triggered chaos in the House.
Mr Rijiju set the ball calling Mr Shivakumar's statement "an assault on the Constitution", and demanding the Congress explain "why it wants to change the Constitution..."

"Raising the issue of Muslim reservation, Congress has sullied prestige of Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution. If you have guts, demand resignation of (Mr Shivakumar) ..." he said.
That was followed by Mr Kharge pointing out it was the Congress that undertook the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' to protect the Constitution and declaring "nobody can change" that document.
All of this, in turn, was triggered by the Karnataka government last week passing a bill to provide that four per cent reservation. The bill was passed amid chaotic scenes in the Assembly; BJP lawmakers climbed on the podium and threw papers at Speaker U T Khader's chair.
The bill - an amendment to the Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurements (KTPP) Act - sets aside four per cent of contracts in (civil) works valued up to Rs 2 crore, and goods/services procurement contracts up to Rs 1 crore, for members from the Muslim community.

The BJP has severely criticised the move, calling it an "unconstitutional misadventure" and vowing to fight it all the way up to the Supreme Court. "We will fight and oppose this inside the courtroom."
"We will take the fight to people in Karnataka. Until and unless, the unconstitutional move is rolled back, the BJP's fight will continue," BJP MP Tejasvi Surya said.
The Congress, meanwhile, has dismissed the BJP's objections, pointing out the benefits extends beyond Muslims to include all minority communities. Defending the move, Mr Shivakumar also took a jab at the BJP, stating "BJP always oppose Congress policies... but they like the and follow them..."

Protesting against Shiv Sena workers' vandalism at Mumbai's Habitat studio, a popular comic has said it is not "Kunal Kamra's studio" and thousands of artists perform there. Abijit Ganguly has said damaging the studio over Kunal Kamra's remarks against Sena chief Eknath Shinde was like vandalising a residential complex because Kunal Kamra visited it once.
"Can people at least apply basic common sense and stop calling it Kunal Kamra's studio? It's a performing arts venue. A venue that doesn't have anything to do with Kamra. Thousand other artist(s) perform there. Even the biggest Kamra hater has to realise this is akin to Kamra appearing in your society tomorrow and people coming in and breaking down your whole society because he was there once," he said in a post on X.

Habitat studio is a preferred venue for stand-up comedy shows by popular comics. It made headlines last month too, when YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia made crass remarks at a roast show, India's Got Latent, shot at the studio.
Earlier today, the studio management said they had decided to shut the premises for now and pointed out that they are not responsible for the views of the artists performing on the premises.
"We are shocked, worried and extremely broken by the recent acts of vandalism targeting us. Artists are solely responsible for their views and creative choices. We have never been involved in the content performed by any Artist, but the recent events have made us rethink about how we get blamed and targeted every time almost like we are a proxy for the performer."
""We are shutting down till we figure out the best way to provide a platform for free expression without putting ourselves and our property in jeopardy. We invite all artists, audience and stakeholders to discuss and share their views freely and request your guidance so that we also respect the performers' rights," the studio said.
Earlier, the studio had said in a social media post that it was not involved in the making of Kunal Kamra's latest video and "does not endorse the views expressed by it". "We extend a sincere and heartfelt apology to all those hurt by this video," it said after a group of Sena workers entered the premises in Khar and damaged property to protest against the comic's remarks against Mr Shinde. Visuals showed Sena workers swinging chairs at cameras, lights and speakers at the studio.
In a show shot last month, Kunal Kamra targeted Mr Shinde with a parody version of 'Bholi Si Surat', a popular song from the 1997 blockbuster Dil To Pagal Hai. He used the 'gaddar' (traitor) jibe against the Shiv Sena leader, who led a rebellion against Uddhav Thackeray in 2022, bringing down his government and splitting the party. Multiple FIRs have been filed against the comic, including one based on a complaint by minister Pratap Sarnaik.

A French scientist was denied entry to the US after immigration officials found text messages that were critical of Donald Trump, the Guardian reported. According to a diplomatic source, the incident unfolded on March 9, when the French space researcher was barred from entering the United States upon arrival in Texas, where he was scheduled to attend a conference near Houston.
Upon arrival in Texas, the researcher was subjected to a random check, which included a search of his work computer and personal phone. US Customs and Border Protection officials found messages on his devices that were critical of the Trump administration's policies on research funding and scientific priorities, describing them as "hateful and conspiratorial" and potentially linked to terrorism.
The researcher's equipment was confiscated, and he was put on a plane back to Europe the following day. The French government has strongly condemned the incident, highlighting the growing tensions between the two nations.
"This measure was apparently taken by the American authorities because the researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy," Philippe Baptiste, France's minister of higher education and research, said in a statement to AFP, published by French newspaper Le Monde.
"Freedom of opinion, free research, and academic freedom are values that we will continue to proudly uphold. I will defend the right of all French researchers to be faithful to them, while respecting the law," the minister added.
Meanwhile, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has acknowledged the US's sovereign right to decide who enters its country, while also expressing disappointment over the situation. The ministry emphasised France's commitment to academic and scientific cooperation, as well as its desire to promote freedom of expression.
Notably, Donald Trump's administration has made significant changes to scientific research funding since taking office in January. One major change is the capping of indirect costs for National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grants at 15%. This move has been met with opposition, as it would cut billions of dollars in funding for life-saving research.
Nobody would've expected Severance to become the kind of pop-culture phenomenon it is today. Back in 2022, when the show premiered on AppleTV+, it was met with barely a whimper. But why is the series, critiquing worker exploitation and corporate greed, getting such rave reviews three years after its first season appeared? What gives?
Perhaps its popularity is a sign of our times. Maybe all of us are so sick and tired of our jobs that a science-fiction show about a larger-than-life corporate entity psychologically abusing its employees hits too close to home. Or perhaps being severed' seems strangely appealing to some of us so that our workplace trauma doesn't spill into our personal lives.
Fans have been writing lengthy threads dissecting the visual cues in Severance. Conspiracy theorists have put on their tin foil hats and made intelligent guesses about the unfolding mystery, which culminates in the season finale releasing on March 21. Severance is to the 2020s what Game of Thrones was to the previous decade. Theme parties, cosplays, fan edits and podcasts analysing the plot twists are proof that Ben Stiller's show will go down as one of the greatest in pop-culture history.
Perhaps the reason the show resonates so much with viewers today is because it exposes the sinister nature of corporate drudgery while simultaneously urging them to be the champions of an inevitable work revolution.
It is no surprise that the most rebellious employee on the severed floor, Helly R (played by a phenomenal Britt Lower), got the loudest cheers and hoots when she locked horns with her boss, Seth Milchick (Tramell Tillman) in last week's episode. But she's not the only rebel on the floor. At one point, Milchick himself asks Mr Drummond—who had earlier been critical of his usage of big words—to "devour flatulence", or, to be clearer, "eat shit". The moment even inspired yours truly to go on LinkedIn and call out their toxic boss.
In another scene from the same episode, Milchick calls up Mark, who is reintegrating and trying to free his wife, Gemma, from the Lumon building. At first, Mark lies about being sick. But then, he quickly backtracks and says, "I am not sick—I just need the day. You know, life stuff". The moment is monumental in TV history for multiple reasons. Not only did Mark S stand up for himself and risk being locked out of the Lumon building, but he, unknowingly, inspired Milchick to rebel too. In a scene, Milchick tears up realising Lumon promised him work-life balance. Much like his subordinate, Milchick, too, is consumed by work. He has been loyal to Lumon all these years, only for him to find a cathartic release in Mark-Helly's anti-work rhetoric.
Much to the dismay of Severance fans, Episode 8 focused entirely on Ms Cobel (Patricia Arquette), the ex-floor manager at Lumon who has lived a difficult life herself. Fans were still on a sun-induced high from last week's episode Chikhai Bardo', so the stunning revelations in episode 8 flew under the radar. A lesser-appreciated reveal in the episode focused on how Ms Cobel not only worked for Lumon as a child (the legal violation of it all!) and on how she had also designed the severance chip but wasn't given credit for it because "Kier said knowledge is for all. That if I sought credit, I would be banished".
It's a sad reminder for all kinds of creators working across industries—whatever intellectual property we create for a company is owned by it. Ms Cobel realises much later that the Eagens exploited her intellectual capabilities for their sick, twisted experiment. But she isn't the only child Lumon exploits for labour. In the ninth episode, we see a young receptionist, Ms Huang (Sarah Bock), enter a bus (presumably meant for kids) and leave the Lumon building after completing her winter fellowship, pointing to a possible network of underage employees working at apprentice shops. Such is the corrosive nature of corporate greed that it may not spare even kids.
Severance also touches on the realities of race. It consciously and very clearly demarcates employees who are brainwashed and would do just about anything to support Lumon/Eagans, from the rebels. Case in point: Seth Milchick. Milchick is indeed a black man in a white man's world. While the success of the MDR department depends solely on Mark's number-refining, Milchick is tasked with the responsibility of making sure none of his predominantly white innies stray from Kier's path and finish the tasks to their completion. For many, Stiller's gaze on people of colour is problematic. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Unlike Mark and Helly, the white, rebellious innies of the MDR department, Milchick cannot afford to raise his voice against the Eagens/Kiers owing to his racial identity, the same way a white employee might find it easier to call out their white boss at the workplace than a black employee. It is no surprise that Gemma, a woman of colour, is not only denied her bodily autonomy but suffers the most out of all the female characters in the show. On the surface, it might seem that all the faces of the 'Severance Reform' are white men and women, but a closer look reveals that the gender and racial identities of Lumon's employees decide who gets to rebel, and how much.
Severance isn't just a genre-defying sci-fi mystery drama that makes you want to nerd out. At its core, it urges us to question the corporations that are slowly taking over our lives bit by bit, leaving us with barely any space to breathe. Being able to afford to take the elevator itself might soon feel like a privilege in India, what with industrialists asking their employees to work 70, 90 hours a week now. Perhaps the employees can just take a leaf out of Gemma's (Dichen Lachman) book and stay in the office building forever. The work won't end, and neither will capitalist greed.
How much of Severance is science fiction, and how much of it is already a reality? Sure, a corporate entity like Lumon building entire towns to control workers and their families may be hard to imagine in the real world. Or, is it? Given how tightly all of our paychecks—and therefore, survival—are controlled by the elite, is Severance's dystopian world really that fantastical? Or is it already here?
Think about it. But don't forget to log in on time—and praise your Kier!

India captain Rohit Sharma had a fun little chat with former head coach Ravi Shastri after Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and decided to bat first. With the conditions in Dubai favouring the team batting first more, both captains were looking to put runs on the board. But, it was Rizwan whose wish was fulfilled. However, Shastri committed as faux pas as he also asked India skipper Rohit, who hasn't had tosses going his way for a long time. The Hitman, however, saved Shastri's blushes, preventing further damage from being done.
After speaking to Rizwan, who had won the toss, Shastri asked Rohit, "What have you decided?" before realising that it was the Pakistan captain who had won the toss.
A smiling Rohit then said, "Doesn't really matter, they won the toss so we'll bowl first." Rohit also revealed that India are playing the same XI against Pakistan.

"Looks similar to the last game, the surface is on the slower side. We have an experienced unit in batting so we know what we need to do if the pitches get slower. Need an overall performance from the team - with bat and ball. The last game wasn't an easy one for us, which is always nice. You want to be under pressure and test yourself. We are playing the same team," he said.
Pakistan, who lost their previous match against New Zealand, had to make a forced change as injured Fakhar Zaman made way for Imam-ul-Haq in the team.
"Will bat first, looks like a good surface. Want to put up a good target. Every match is important in ICC events, we will keep things normal. The boys are familiar with these conditions, we have done well here and we want to do our best today. We lost our last game, but it is past for us now. One change - Fakhar is out, Imam is in," Rizwan revealed during toss.

Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma have filed for divorce. The news of their divorce was doing rounds on social media for months. Both shared cryptic posts on the internet, hinting that they had gone their separate ways. But, none of them firmly spoke on the topic to highlight possible reasons behind the decision. There were reports that claimed the couple's final hearing and all necessary formalities took place at the Bandra Family Court on Thursday, where both were physically present. However, Dhanashree's lawyer has said that the proceedings are still underway.
"I have no comments to make on the proceedings, the matter is currently sub judice. The media should fact-check before reporting, as a lot of misleading information is being circulated," Dhanashree's lawyer Aditi Mohan said in a statement released to the press on Friday.
According to a report in ABP news, the judge advised the couple to seek counseling, which lasted for about 45 minutes. After the counselling session, the judge was informed that both wanted to part ways with mutual consent.
It was further revealed that Chahal and Dhanashree were living separately for the past 18 months. When asked about the possible reason behind seeking divorce, the couple said that had 'compatibility issues'.
Chahal shared a post on social media right before the final hearing which read: "God has protected me more times than I can count. So I can only imagine the times I've been rescued that I don't even know about. Thank you, God, for always being there, even when I don't know it. Amen."

Dhanashree also shared a message about faith on her Instagram account. "From stressed to blessed. Isn't it amazing how God can turn our worries and trials into blessings? If you're stressing about something today, know that you have a choice. You can either keep worrying or you can surrender it all to God and choose to pray about everything. There is power in having faith that God can work all things together for your good."
While neither mentioned the word divorce in the posts, the gist of the messages says it all.

Gwalior Kidnapping Case: पीछे भागती रही बेबस मां.. दिनदहाड़े उठा ले गए बच्चा | MP News | Viral Video
Head coach Gautam Gambhir shed light on the surprise inclusion of mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy in place of young southpaw Yashasvi Jaiswal in India's 15-player squad for next week's Champions Trophy. On Tuesday night, the BCCI decided two prominent changes in India's squad for the Champions Trophy. The first was premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah being ruled out of the tournament due to a lower back injury. The second change saw Jaiswal making way for Chakravarthy. He is the fifth spinner in India's star-studded squad alongside Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Washington Sundar.
Gambhir disclosed that Chakravarthy's emerging as a wicket-taking option in the middle overs was the reason for including another spinner in the squad.
"Look, the only reason was because we wanted another wicket-taking option in the middle. We know what Varun brings to the table and know that Varun can be a massive threat to a lot of teams who haven't played him. He could be an X-factor as well," Gambhir said in the post-match press conference after India's 3-0 series sweep over England.
With Chakravarthy's late inclusion, Gambhir pinpointed the advantage of having a wicket-taking option but didn't guarantee a spot for the mystery spinner in the playing XI.
"I'm not going to say that he's going to start and all that stuff, but it's always good to have a strong bowling line-up because we know that if he can actually get those wickets in the middle, it's always going to be an advantage and that was one of the reasons. Otherwise, we know that Yashasvi has got a fabulous future ahead. It's just that we could only pick 15," he added.
Jaiswal received his maiden ODI cap in the series opener against England in Nagpur. After taking a stunning catch in the first innings, the young southpaw failed to deliver with the bat and flopped with a knock of 15(22).
In the second ODI, Jaiswal was dropped from the playing XI for Virat Kohli, and Chakaravarthy made his ODI debut. It was a clinical outing for him as he returned with figures of 1/54 in his 10-over spell.

Meta has kicked off another round of job cuts, impacting around 3,600 employees across Europe, Asia, and the US. The company claims these layoffs are performance-based, targeting underperformers who didn't meet expectations. However, some former employees are disputing this, saying they had a solid track record of performance and were blindsided by the layoffs. One such employee is Elana Reman Safner, a product counsel for MetaWorks, who was laid off after returning from a six-month maternity leave.
In a LinkedIn post, Ms Safner shared her shock and disappointment, suggesting that Meta may have targeted employees who had recently taken leaves.
"Meta laid me off yesterday in its "performance-based" layoffs, and I was blindsided. I have never received a review below "Meets All" in my 3+ years at Meta, and I was on maternity leave for 6 months until November. It is very hard to believe that – despite Meta indicating my expectations are prorated – I did not do enough. Many laid off today have similar stories – a history of good performance, and a recent leave of absence," she wrote.
Here's the post:
Ms Safner further reminisced about her time at Meta, expressing gratitude towards her team. "At Meta, I learned to be nimble and resilient, provide business-focused, risk-calibrated advice, and how to be a great XFN partner. Even when I disagreed with product direction or was disappointed by Meta in the news, my clients and colleagues kept me energized," she added.
However, she also highlighted several aspects of the company she wouldn't miss, including the uncertainty of her career trajectory and the high-stress nature of her role. Ms Safner also took a swipe at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's leadership style, criticising his tendency to abruptly shut down products that didn't meet his "moonshot" expectations.
She wrote, "Here's what I won't miss: my career trajectory being completely at the whim of product decisions I have no control over, mental overload, 34-page one-pagers, having 62 tabs open, deprecating beloved products because they weren't “moonshot” enough for Zuck, Zuck's newfound “masculine energy” and becoming its collateral damage."
The layoffs come as Meta shifts its focus towards artificial intelligence and other strategic priorities.
Former IPL champions Gujarat Titans are set to have new owners as Indian business conglomerate, the Torrent Group, is in line to acquire a majority stake in the franchise. The Ahmedabad-based conglomerate will purchase a 67 per cent stake in the team from CVC Capital Partners (Irelia Company Pvt Ltd), who had bought the team in 2021. The deal is awaiting final approval from the IPL governing council, which would allow Torrent Group to take control ahead of the upcoming season, which will begin on March 21.
"The talks of Torrent Group taking two third ownership (67 per cent) is at an advanced stage. The lock-in period for CVC group as sole owners ends in February 2025 after which they are free to sell the stakes," an IPL source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
"Torrent group is one of the biggest names in Pharmaceutical sector in India and in 2021 when BCCI invited bids for two new teams, they had shown active interest. Obviously any change in ownership pattern requires approval from BCCI which is expected to be given in coming days," he added.
While the valuation of the stake being sold by CVC remains unconfirmed, the global private equity firm had invested Rs 5,625 crore to acquire the Titans in 2021.
Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, the team clinched the title in 2022 and signed off with a runner-up finish in 2023. However, in the last season, the Shubman Gill-led side finished in eighth place.

As the BJP stormed the Delhi assembly polls, the party's winning candidate credited this as a victory of Prime Minister Modi.
He said, "The people of Delhi have shown trust in PM Modi and the credit for this victory goes to him."
Highlighting the poor infrastructure in Delhi, Mr Verma stated that the entire 'Delhi Dehaat' is in a "bad state", claiming that these parts were "ignored" by the previous governments.
The BJP which has returned to power almost after 27 years, has notably won the majority seats of the outer Delhi areas, including Narela, Bawana, Najafgarh, etc.
"The entire Delhi Dehaat is in a bad state as it was ignored by the parties that were in power, now the people here know that work will be done," he said.
Yamuna was one of the major issues of the Delhi Elections 2025. Mr Verma while speaking to reporters, pointed out that Yamuna will be the priority of the government to be formed.
He said, "Our govt made Sabarmati riverfront in Gujarat and the way PM Modi spoke yesterday, Yamuna will be our priority."
Mr Verma, after scripting history by defeating Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal from the New Delhi seat in the Delhi assembly elections, visited his native village Mundka on Sunday morning.
He received a rousing welcome as he reached his native village. He also visited the Dada Bhairav Temple in Mundka and offered prayers there.

He emerged as a giant killer in the assembly election with a decisive win of over 4,000 votes over Mr Kejriwal in the New Delhi seat. Congress' Sandeep Dikshit came third winning over 4500 votes.
The BJP stormed to power in the Delhi polls on Saturday, winning a two-thirds majority, with the ruling AAP suffering major blows and a drastic reduction in its numbers in the 70-member assembly. The Congress continued its dismal run.
The BJP won 48 seats in a historic mandate, returning to power in the national capital after 27 years. Several AAP leaders, including Mr Kejriwal, lost in their strongholds, with Chief Minister Atishi managing to retain her seat.
The verdict came months after the BJP-led coalition swept the Maharashtra polls and the party won Haryana, consolidating its domination of national politics.
The Congress, which was hoping for a revival in the national capital, again failed to win any seat. The party, which ruled Delhi for 15 years from 1998, registered a hat-trick zero tally in the assembly polls.
The counting of votes was taken up on Saturday morning, with votes having been polled on February 5.

Time magazine's latest cover featured billionaire Elon Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, a move likely aimed at stoking US President Donald Trump's ire. The otherwise simple red cover showed Musk, coffee in hand, sitting behind the presidential desk, sandwiched between American and presidential flags.
The provocative cover was accompanied by a lengthy article on Musk's "war on Washington" by upending the federal government that has left "millions of government workers [to] find themselves" at DOGE chief's mercy."
The publication seems to have hit its mark, with President Trump shrugging it off claiming he hadn't seen the latest issue. He mockingly asked if the Time was "still in business", just weeks after boasting about being named the magazine's 'Person of the Year' for 2024-- an honour he first received after winning the presidential election in 2016.
Addressing the media at the White House during a meeting with the Japanese prime minister, Trump was asked if he had seen the cover. Replying, he said he had not yet seen the cover and said, "No... Is Time Magazine still in business? I didn't even know that."

He went on to praise the South African-born billionaire saying, "Elon is doing a great job" by "finding tremendous fraud and corruption and waste," which has included the Tesla CEO and his DOGE lieutenants essentially taking control of America's 2.2-million-member federal workforce and begin a dramatic reshaping of government.
Trump has put Musk in charge of what both men call the Department of Government Efficiency. According to Trump,
"He's got a staff that's fantastic," Trump said about Musk's DOGE team and announced that the CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX will soon be made available for press briefings so he could talk about his efforts in massive government restructuring.
Though Trump pretended to be unaware that Time is "still in business", he was ecstatic about making the magazine's cover just a few months ago when he was named its "Person of the Year."
"Time Magazine, getting this honour for the second time, I think I like it better this time actually," he said in December.

Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya's aerial action thriller Sky Force experienced a 75% surge in earnings on Saturday, following a solid opening day at the box office.
As reported by Sacnilk, the film saw a 75.51% increase in earnings, raking in Rs 21.5 crore on Saturday alone. This brings its total earnings to Rs 33.75 crore after two days of release.
Sky Force has come as a much-needed relief for Akshay, marking his most successful movie release in years. The film opened to solid double-digit collections.
According to Sacnilk, Sky Force earned Rs 11.25 crore (net) on its opening day. The movie was made on a relatively modest budget of Rs 160 crore.
The last big hit in Akshay Kumar's career was Sooryavanshi (2021), directed by Rohit Shetty. It was made on a budget of Rs 160 crore and earned Rs 293 crore globally.
His last few releases, including Khel Khel Mein, Sarfira, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Mission Raniganj, Selfiee, Ram Setu, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, and Bachchhan Paandey, all failed to make a mark at the box office.
Akshay's last major release, Singham Again, raked in Rs 372.4 crore globally, but that movie was led by Ajay Devgn and featured an ensemble cast, with Akshay appearing in a cameo. Additionally, he made a guest appearance in Stree 2, which performed well, earning Rs 857.15 crore worldwide.
Since the film's trailer launch, Sky Force has drawn comparisons to Fighter, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. Fighter was also released around Republic Day last year and made Rs 22.5 crore on its opening day. Fighter, with a production budget of Rs 250 crore, went on to become a success, grossing Rs 358.83 crore worldwide.
Sky Force is based on the untold story of India's first and deadliest airstrike, showcasing the events of the 1965 India-Pakistan War.
Veer Pahariya makes his acting debut as IAF officer T Vijaya, who goes missing in action during the war, while Akshay Kumar plays his fellow officer, KO Ahuja, who embarks on a mission to find him.
The film also features Nimrat Kaur and Sara Ali Khan in important roles. Sky Force is directed by Sandeep Kelwani and Abhishek Kapur.

Sanju Samson has been dominating headlines recently due to his ongoing feud with the Kerala Cricket Association. Following his Champions Trophy 2025 snub, the KCA said that he was not included in the Vijay Hazare Trophy squad after he skipped a preparatory camp and even asked him of 'lacking discipline'. Samson's father, Viswanath, has accused KCA of trying to end his son's career and recalled how Rahul Dravid played a key role in not letting that happen. Viswanath revealed that when Samson was 11 years old, Dravid intervened and even asked that people were jealous of him.
"I will tell you one incident about Rahul Dravid. When KCA had tried to disregard Sanju and destroy his career, Dravid ji had interfered in the matter. Wherever Sanju is at today, he owes it to Rahul Dravid. I have not forgotten anyone who has given us warmth and generosity. When action was being taken against Samson, they had given up his kit and everything else. Then, one day, we were all sad and sitting at home when Sanju got a call from Rahul sir. Sanju was overjoyed. He picked up the phone crying. The mood in the house was sombre," Samson Viswanath said on Sports Today.
"After keeping down the phone, he told me 'it was Rahul sir'. He said 'Sanju, I understand all that is happening with you. They are all jealous of you. Tu chinta mat kar (Don't worry). Don't get your morale down. I have taken care of it. You keep training and get ready for NCA'. He operated at a level higher than the KCA and took Sanju under his wings," he added.
In the first match of the ongoing T20I series, India won the toss and elected to field. England lost wickets at regular intervals, with only skipper Jos Buttler (68 off 44 balls, with eight fours and two sixes) putting up a fight for the Three Lions. England was restricted to 132 in 20 overs.
Chakravarthy (3/23) was the top wicket-taker for India, while Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel each took two wickets.
In the run-chase, Sanju Samson (26 off 20 balls, with four boundaries and a six) put on a 41-run stand with Abhishek Sharma (79 off 34 balls, with five fours and eight sixes), who single-handedly led India to victory with seven wickets and 43 balls to spare.
Varun Chakravarthy was awarded the 'Player of the Match' for his stellar bowling performance.
