Reality TV personality Divya Agarwal has alleged that she is receiving rape threats online following her public fallout with Prince Narula after their stint on the reality show The 50. Divya, who recently exited the show, is currently vacationing in the Maldives and addressed the issue through a series of Instagram stories. (Trigger Warning: This story contains discussions of sexual violence and rape threats.)
Divya Agarwal criticised Prince Narula for provoking his fans and highlighted the severity of the abusive messages targeting her on social media.
Divya talks alleges online rape threats by Prince Narula fans
Divya revealed that she has been receiving abusive messages from Prince Narula’s fans. “Recently I have been receiving a lot of hate from my ex-brother’s (Prince Narula) fans,” she wrote on social media. While she said she does not mind criticism, Divya claimed the messages have crossed a disturbing line.
“Hate ki problem nahi hai, but rape threats? (I don’t have a problem with hate, but rape threats?),” Divya said. She further shared the nature of the threats she has allegedly been receiving. According to her, some messages read: “Hamko pata hai tu kaha rehti hai…10 ladke le kar aayenge…rape karenge, video banayenge. You deserve all of that.” (We know where you live… we will come with 10 men… rape you and make a video. You deserve all of that),” she said.
Divya also indirectly called out Prince Narula, accusing a “so-called celebrity” of fuelling the online hate by reacting to episodes of the show. She claimed he watches the episodes and comments on them by saying, “Aaj ka episode bhot jyada funny tha.” (Today’s episode was very funny).
Calling him “self-obsessed,” Divya further alleged that he has been instigating fans against her. She also criticised celebrities who help others but later highlight it publicly, referring to the phrase “Maine paala hai (I took care of you).”
About the controversy
The controversy comes after Prince Narula recently posted a video criticising Divya’s performance on The 50. In the video, he claimed she performed only one task during her time in the house and said she returned to the show after watching several episodes and began believing that he was dominating the game.
Prince also mentioned that Divya once considered him a brother and claimed he had saved her during the game, but she later chose to align with another group. Towards the end of the video, he remarked, “Yaha bhi acha nahi khel payin aap (You couldn’t play well here either).”
About The 50
The 50 brings together 50 celebrity contestants in a strategically designed palace where survival depends on brains, alliances, and adaptability rather than on physical strength alone. The format, adapted from the French show Les Cinquante, places players under a game master known as The Lion, who sets unpredictable tasks and twists while contestants form teams, complete challenges and face eliminations without audience voting. Some famous contestants from The 50 include Prince Narula, Karan Patel, Mr Faisu, Urvashi Dholakia, and Nikki Tamboli. They represent a mix of reality TV veterans, social media stars, and popular actors competing in the show
NEW DELHI: After India’s historic win in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a massive cash reward of Rs 131 crore for the entire squad and support staff. The prize money will be shared among the 15 players, coaching staff, and other support members who helped the team secure the title.

According to a report from PTI, the players will receive the biggest share of the reward. Each of the 15 cricketers is expected to get Rs 6 crore, while the remaining Rs 41 crore will be divided among the coaching staff and support team, depending on their roles and hierarchy.The reward is slightly higher than the Rs 125 crore bonus given to the team led by Rohit Sharma after India’s T20 World Cup win in 2024, showing the board’s continued appreciation for major international victories.BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia praised the team’s achievement and said, “The Board congratulates the players, support staff and selectors once again on this historic achievement and wishes them continued success in the future.”Before this, BCCI also announced Rs 58 crore for the winners of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Rs 51 crore for ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 champions, and Rs 7.5 crore for ICC U19 World Cup-winning side. In the T20 World Cup, India secured the trophy after defeating New Zealand national cricket team by 96 runs in the final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The victory was especially significant because the team successfully defended their title, becoming the first side in tournament history to retain the T20 World Cup.The triumph also made India the first team to win the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup three times, strengthening its legacy as one of the most dominant teams in the shortest format of the game.
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta and producer Sahil Saigal are unveiling an ambitious slate, featuring Ranveer Singh’s post-apocalyptic thriller ‘Pralay’ and Mehta’s own action film ‘Porbandar.’ The company is also backing Ajitpal Singh’s ‘Kehar Singh,’ a cannibalistic horror project titled ‘Mehfooz,’ and regional films, alongside a Hindi debut for Lijo Jose Pellissery with music by A.R. Rahman.
Hansal Mehta and producer Sahil Saigal are expanding their slate with a mix of big Hindi films, regional cinema, and series work. The company has now revealed several fresh titles, including Mehta’s own action film ‘Porbandar,’ Ajitpal Singh’s next feature ‘Kehar Singh,’ and the cannibalistic horror project ‘Mehfooz.’ It has also shared new details about ‘Pralay,’ the Ranveer Singh-led post-apocalyptic thriller that is now in active pre-production.
Hansal Mehta’s work slate update
According to Variety, the company, launched by Mehta and Saigal in January 2025, is moving ahead with a broad lineup across genres and languages. Among the biggest titles is ‘Pralay,’ directed by Jai Mehta and starring Ranveer Singh. The film is being co-produced with Singh’s banner. Hansal Mehta described its scale in clear terms, saying, “It’s the kind of film that India hasn’t made yet, the kind of film that India hasn’t seen before.” He also said an international crew has joined the project, with filming expected to begin later this year.
Ranveer Singh’s ‘Pralay’ and new films revealed
The new lineup also includes ‘Porbandar,’ which Hansal Mehta will direct himself. The film is named after the Gujarati coastal city linked to Mahatma Gandhi, but Mehta said the project takes a sharply different route. “On one side you have the Mahatma from Porbandar, and on the other side you have this actioner,” he said. A studio deal for the film is close to being finalized.Another new title is ‘Kehar Singh,’ directed by Ajitpal Singh of ‘Fire in the Mountains.’ The company described it as a spectacle film, though more details will come later. Then there is ‘Mehfooz,’ a cannibalistic horror project that has finished development and already has a studio attached, but is still looking for a director. Explaining the company’s method, Mehta said, “We invest money in developing the film, get it all ready before we pitch to a studio, and then get a director on board.”The company is also producing ‘Dilkashi’ with Amazon MGM Studios. Directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, it marks his Hindi debut and features songs by A.R. Rahman. In regional cinema, the company is backing the Gujarati film ‘Sardar Asardar’ and the Punjabi independent feature ‘Hanere de Panchi.’ On the series side, it has co-produced Netflix’s ‘Family Business’ and is developing another show.
Rahul Bhatia has returned to lead the day-to-day operations of an airline that he co-founded nearly two decades ago, amid a turbulence that “should never have taken place”.

“I step into my expanded role of managing the affairs of IndiGo with a deep sense of responsibility—not only to the company’s customers and its shareholders, but to every employee who powers this airline,” Bhatia wrote in an internal note to IndiGo employees after he took over as interim CEO of Interglobe Aviation Ltd. following the resignation of Pieter Elbers — effective immediately.
“What happened last December should never have taken place… Our customers didn’t deserve it and nor did all of you, especially the frontline employees who bore most of the brunt for no fault of theirs…,” he went on to say.
“I wish to place on record my indebtedness to all my colleagues who carried the company’s cross with grace and dignity, and ploughed through sleepless nights to restore IndiGo’s operational integrity. You are indeed the living spirit of IndiGo!”
Hindustan Times has seen a copy of this internal note.
IndiGo CEO resignation
Elbers, who took the helm of IndiGo in September 2022, has resigned as CEO of the company with immediate effect. Under him, India’s largest airline became a $10-billion enterprise, expanded its fleet to over 440 aircraft, and placed a historic order for 500 Airbus A320-family planes.
Until, it all came crashing down.
Despite his successes, Elbers’ tenure was marred by an operational meltdown in December 2025. The flight crisis was triggered by IndiGo’s struggle to implement new rules designed to prevent pilot fatigue.
Between December 3 and 5, IndiGo cancelled over 2,500 flights and delayed nearly 1,900 more, affecting over 300,000 passengers.
The DGCA imposed a record fine of ₹22.20 crore and issued show-cause notices directly to Elbers. While he initially survived calls for his resignation, the crisis significantly dented the airline’s reputation for punctuality.
Bhatia promised to fix the mess.
Rahul Bhatia returns to IndiGo
In the internal letter, Bhatia sought the support of IndiGo employees “to ensure that we regain our right of choice with our customers and earn the distinction of being the pride of India”.
“Let us stay focused and accountable, remain fiercely united and committed to the cause, and continue to do what we do best—offer affordable fares, and a courteous and hassle-free travel experience to our customers.
“I look forward to working with all of you, and I take this occasion to extend very best wishes to you and your respective families,” he said, with “Main Hoon Na” in his sign-off.
On Tuesday, IndiGo shares rose 3.46% to ₹4,382.45 apiece on the BSE even as the benchmark Sensex ended the day 0.82% higher at 78,205.98 points.
K-pop group ENHYPEN is going through a major change, though not quite the one fans might fear. The group will continue its activities as a six-member act, but after founding member Heeseung announced his departure from the lineup.
ENHYPEN
The news was confirmed on March 10 by the group’s agency BELIFT LAB through a statement shared on ENHYPEN’s official platforms. According to the company, the decision followed long discussions about the group’s future and Heeseung’s personal artistic direction.
“Through in-depth discussions with each of the members about the future they envision and the direction of the team, it became clear that Heeseung has his own distinct musical vision,” the company said.
A new path for Heeseung
While stepping away from the group, Heeseung will remain signed to BELIFT LAB and is preparing to launch a solo career. The agency said the move was the result of extended conversations between the artist, the members and management. The announcement did not include details about upcoming group releases or tour plans.
Heeseung also addressed fans—known as ENGENE—shortly after the update, sharing a message of gratitude for both supporters and his fellow members.“Thanks to the members with whom I shared countless emotions, and to ENGENE, who always filled every empty space with their support, I was able to take step after step toward a dream that once felt out of reach,” he wrote. “I am working hard on an album so I can meet you all again soon.”
From survival show to global fandom
Heeseung first rose to prominence after appearing on the survival audition program I-LAND. He later debuted with ENHYPEN in November 2020 with the group’s first project, Border: Day One. Since then, the group has built a strong international following through multiple music releases and global tours.
Heeseung’s exit marks the first lineup change for ENHYPEN since its debut. According to the agency, the singer is currently working on his solo album, though further details about the project have not yet been revealed.
For now, the group moves forward with six members—while one of its founding voices prepares to begin a new musical chapter.
Ukraine has dispatched drone interceptors and military personnel to Jordan as Middle Eastern countries fend off Iranian strikes on infrastructure and United States military assets during the US-Israel war on Tehran.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that a Ukrainian team departed on Friday for Jordan, which has US military assets at its Muwaffaq Salti Air Base.

The move followed a request on Thursday from the US, Zelenskyy said, as Washington seeks cheaper technology for intercepting Iranian missiles targeting Israeli and US defence assets as well as other infrastructure across Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
At the moment, the US is using air defence systems such as Patriot missiles, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) batteries and Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft to intercept Iranian drones and missiles targeting its military assets in the region.
Iran is deploying its cheap, domestically produced Shahed drones across the Gulf and is believed to have thousands in stock. These are the same drones it has supplied to Russia over the course of Moscow’s war on Ukraine. Kyiv, which has long sought more advanced US defence systems, has developed technology to mass-produce much cheaper interceptor drones to counter drone swarm attacks from Russia.
“Ukrainians have been fighting against ‘shahed’ drones for years now, and everyone recognizes that no other country in the world has this kind of experience. We are ready to help,” Zelenskyy wrote on X on Thursday, adding that Ukraine has asked for advanced US defence systems, such as the Patriot system, in exchange.
In a Monday post on X, Zelenskyy confirmed that 11 countries, including the US, Gulf and European countries, had requested Kyiv’s help and some requests “have already been met with concrete decisions and specific support”.
Here’s what we know about the Ukrainian drones the US and Gulf countries want to deploy:

What do we know about the Ukrainian interceptors being requested?
Ukraine has been building thousands of low-cost interceptor drones to counter Iranian Shahed-type drones over the course of the Russia-Ukraine war.
After failing to receive enough high-end weaponry from its allies, such as US Patriot missile defence systems, Kyiv was forced to innovate in 2025. Now, it has become one of the world’s leading manufacturers of the “Shahed Killers”.
The cheap but powerful drones are designed to shoot down Russian attack drones before they reach their targets. They are operated by pilots tracking them on a monitor or wearing first-person-view (FPV) goggles. Each one is priced at about $1,000 to $2,000 – a fraction of the several million dollars it costs to manufacture, transport and fire a high-tech US interceptor.
Ukrainian manufacturers are producing thousands of them per month.
Analysts said the drones can counter a range of attacks but cannot intercept ballistic missiles. So far, they also require trained pilots positioned close to their area of engagement although manufacturers are now developing automated models.
There are several models that have been developed in Ukraine:
The Sting: This quadcopter is shaped like a bullet and is about the size of a large thermos. It is the fastest of the interceptors, reaching speeds of 315 to 343 kilometres per hour (196 to 213 miles per hour), and can cruise at an altitude of 3,000 metres (10,000ft). It relies on thermal imaging cameras to hit targets, and it returns to base if it cannot locate one. Its domed head carries the camera system and an explosive payload. It is manufactured by Ukraine’s Wild Hornets start-up.
Bullet: Developed in late 2025 by the Ukrainian weapons manufacturer General Cherry, this high-speed interceptor is driven by a jet engine and four rotors. It can be 3D-printed and uses AI-assisted guidance to locate targets. It can reportedly travel at speeds of 130km/h to 309km/h (81mph to 192mph) and cruise at up to 5,500 metres (3.4 miles).
P1-Sun: The 3D-printed craft produced by the weapons company Skyfall can fly at up to 300km/h (186mph). It looks similar to the Sting.
Octopus 100: This interceptor is designed in Ukraine but mass-produced in the United Kingdom. Its technical details are unclear.
ODIN Win_Hit: Another bullet-shaped drone is built for short-duration, high-intensity missions. It has a maximum speed of 280km/h to 300 km/h (174mph to 186mph) and can fly up to 5,000 metres (3.1 miles) for seven to 10 minutes at a time. It’s developed by the Ukrainian defence company ODIN.
How does the Iranian Shahed operate?
Russia has launched thousands of Iranian-designed Shahed drones at Ukraine, resulting in hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths and heavy infrastructure damage. Increasingly, they’ve been countered by Ukraine.
A New York Times analysis found that Russia sent about 5,000 drones into Ukraine in February and Ukraine downed 87 percent of them.
Iran, which has long supplied Moscow with weapons, has used the same models in its strikes on its neighbours as it faces heavy bombardment from the US and Israel. One drone hit Kuwait last week, killing six members of the US military, the Times reported.
Priced at about $20,000 to $33,000 each, the GPS-guided drones are about 3.5 metres (11.5ft) in length. They are loitering munitions and self-destructing vehicles mounted with explosive payloads and automated to blow up upon hitting programmed targets.
Moscow is believed to have incorporated its own elements into the Iranian design and now mass-produces thousands of the “kamikaze” models. Zelenskyy claimed in his X post on Monday that there were “Russian components” in the crashed remains of Shaheds that Iran has used on its Gulf neighbours.

What have the US and Gulf countries been using against Iranian missiles?
The US has been supporting Gulf countries in intercepting Iranian missiles with expensive defence systems, including:
Patriot missile systems: The Patriot Advanced Capability-2 (PAC-2) and PAC-3 are advanced surface-to-air missile defence systems built by US defence contractor Lockheed Martin that can intercept aircraft, cruise missiles and short-range ballistic missiles. Ukraine has repeatedly asked the US for more Patriot batteries, which consist of a truck-mounted launching system with eight launchers that can hold up to four missile interceptors each, ground radar, a control station and a generator. Each Patriot missile costs about $4m, and launchers are about $10m. About 90 personnel are required to operate the system. They are in short supply as Lockheed Martin delivered a record 620 PAC-3 MSE interceptors, the most Patriot missiles, in 2025. Zelenskyy said the US and its Middle Eastern partners have already burned through 800 of those, compared with the 600 delivered to Ukraine in four years.

THAAD missile defence system:Also developed by Lockheed Martin, the THAAD uses a combination of radar and interceptors to counter short-, medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles and can operate at high altitudes. A THAAD battery consists of six truck-mounted launchers, 48 interceptors – eight for each launcher – one radar system, and a fire control and communications component and needs 95 personnel. Each battery costs about $1bn to $1.8bn to produce.

AWACS aircraft: These aircraft form part of an early-warning radar system designed to detect missiles and long-range projectiles from up to 400km (250 miles) away.
Team India defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the final of the T20 World Cup 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Following the triumph, Team India skipper Suryakumar Yadav, head coach Gautam Gambhir and the chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Jay Shah went to a Hanuman temple near the stadium to seek blessings and also carried the trophy along with them.
Later, speaking to the reporters on Tuesday, Kirti questioned the move, saying that a sportsperson or sport does not belong to any religion or caste.
“140 crore people were excited when Team India, which includes people from all religions, won. A sportsperson or sports does not belong to any religion or caste but only to the sport. As a sportsperson, I say Team India made India victorious. Team India won, and this is a matter of pride for the people of India,” he had said.
Reacting to Azad`s criticism, former Team India cricketer Harbhajan Singh said that the 67-year-old former cricketer forgot that he is a sportsman.
“It`s absurd that someone is politicising the players taking the trophy to a temple. Kirti himself is a former cricketer, so I didn`t expect him to say such a thing. Perhaps he`s prioritising politics more and has forgotten he`s a sportsman,” he said.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also announced Rs 131 crore as a reward for the team following their triumph in the global showpiece.
Speaking about the reward, Harbhajan said that he expected the amount to be more and said that the players have shown how powerful India is.
“I was expecting more, because when such a big task is undertaken, the reward should be even greater. But congratulations to the team for their dominance in the World Cup, and for showing everyone how powerful India is,” said the Punjab-born cricketer.
T20 World Cup 2026 Final: Summary
Batting first in the final, the “Men in Blue” posted a mammoth total of 256 runs for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs. Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan smashed half-centuries. Facing 46 balls, Samson scored 89 runs with the help of five boundaries and eight maximums. Abhishek also garnered 52 runs in 21 balls, including six boundaries and three maximums. Ishan smashed 54 runs off 25 deliveries, laced with four boundaries and four maximums. Later, burly all-rounder Shivam Dube also played a fiery cameo of an unbeaten 26 runs in just eight deliveries.

Television actress Munmun Dutta recently expressed strong concern about the way some people behave at popular tourist spots, saying the careless actions of a few individuals are damaging India’s natural and cultural destinations. The actress, widely known for her role in the long-running sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, shared her thoughts on social media after witnessing irresponsible behaviour during her travels.
Munmun Dutta uses yet another castiest slur
Munmun pointed out that while India is home to many breathtaking tourist locations, the actions of certain visitors often spoil the beauty of these places. She said it deeply frustrates her to see people treating scenic spots carelessly and leaving behind litter or damaging the surroundings.
Expressing her disappointment, the actress wrote that such behaviour affects not only the environment but also the overall experience for other travellers. “This infuriates me to the core. Too many chhapris at loose. Wonder why someone would rather spend money abroad vacationing but not here in India. Because this beautiful country is being ruined by these disgusting people. That’s why these people attract racism abroad with such nasty behaviour,” she said, explaining how upsetting it is to see people disregard the value of these destinations.
Munmun further explained that tourism should be about appreciating nature and culture rather than damaging it. She noted that several picturesque places in India have been affected by irresponsible visitors who fail to maintain cleanliness or follow basic civic sense.
Highlighting the issue, she said that a small group of people often ends up ruining places that many others travel long distances to see. The actress stressed that tourists should understand their responsibility while visiting public spaces. She also pointed out that maintaining cleanliness is a shared duty and that every traveller must contribute to preserving the beauty of tourist destinations. According to Munmun, awareness and respect for nature are essential to ensure these places remain enjoyable for future visitors.
On her former case on making derogatory remark
However, the slur that she used `Chhapri` is casteist and Munmun had earlier also been pulled up for making such derogatory remarks. Mumbai Police had registered a case against Munmun Dutta after she allegedly used a derogatory term for a community in a makeup video posted on social media in May 2021. The video went viral, prompting a complaint by a community leader and the registration of an FIR.
Chhapri is a disparaging term used in Indian slang to make fun of people, usually young guys, who are thought to have bad, ostentatious, or cringe taste in conduct and fashion, such as riding customized bikes or dressing in neon. Labeling someone as a wannabe or low-class is a common practice on the internet. It origins from the Chapper Band or Chhapri community, a historically marginalized nomadic group that worked as roof-makers.
NEW DELHI: Two days after captaining India to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title, Suryakumar Yadav is still absorbing the magnitude of the achievement, which has placed him alongside greats like Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni, and Rohit Sharma, all of whom led India to ICC trophies.Soon after returning from Ahmedabad, where India national cricket team clinched a record third ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title on Sunday, Suryakumar reflected on the team’s successful campaign and its future ambitions.

“It feels good to win 24 and 26 back-to-back. It is a very special feeling. When we won in 2024, we thought it would be so special to do this again at home in 2026,” Surya told PTI Videos at his residence.“The next target is to win the Olympic gold in 2028. The team has a good momentum. If India wins the T20 World Cup in the same year, it will be great.”On being compared to the likes of Rohit and Dhoni, he added: “It feels good to join that elite company. I am slowly feeling it. It is a very special feeling to be talked about among such great people. I will try to do the same in the future and help India more trophies.”Rohit was the captain when India ended an ICC trophy drought with victory in Bridgetown during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in June. Dhoni, meanwhile, led India to triumphs in the ICC World Twenty20 2007, ICC ODI World Cup 2011 and ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.Before them, Kapil Dev guided India to its first major global title when the team won the 1983 ODI World Cup.

Hanu Raghavapudi on Prabhas`s character
In a recent interview, director Hanu Raghavapudi explained their inclusion of Mahabharata characters Arjuna and Krishna in the first poster of the film. He said, “Prabhas plays a larger-than-life soldier in Fauzi, and I wanted to infuse his character with the traits of legendary warriors. To me, Arjuna, Karna, and Ekalavya represent three distinct yet powerful dimensions of heroism – skill, sacrifice, and devotion.”
He further added, “I wondered what would have happened in the Mahabharat if Karna had joined forces with the Pandavas – it would have completely changed the course of the war. That thought inspired me while shaping this film. Without revealing much, I can say it`s an action-packed story set in the 1940s colonial era.
Anupam Kher`s work front
Kher`s latest work is Tanvi The Great, which also marked his return to direction. The film released in July 2025 and also starred Shubhangi Dutt alongside the actor. He will next feature in Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 alongside Boman Irani and Ranvir Shorey. It is a sequel to the 2006 film with the same title. It also marks the 550th film for the actor
