    We all remember how Abhay Deol led actors Farhan Akhtar and Hrithik Roshan to really make our lives a lot more meaningful from the cinematic experience of Zoya Akhtar's 2011 film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
    Abhay along with the rest of the cast put in impressive performances to give us a movie about life and how we all need to embark on newer adventures to truly find out what we want in real life.

    Now, 10 years after the release of the wonderful movie, Farhan Akhtar has chosen to take the director's seat again in order to make another such film about three friends, this time with the star cast of Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt. Produced by Excel Entertainment, the film titled Jee Le Zaraa will be a road trip film featuring three leading ladies in what looks like another take on the deeper meaning of life.

    As per reports, Abhay might actually end up doing a cameo in the film, a thing that will surely excite fans. Well, the actor himself had a say on the developments of the film and how the project has got great talent in its ranks.
    “It looks fun. It has got great talent behind and in front of the screen. It was exciting just to look at it. I don't know the story or the script. It just looks exciting,” said Abhay. 
    The film has been written by Farhan, Zoya Akhtar, and Reema Kagti, and is set for a release in 2023.
    The actor was also asked about the chance of a cameo in the film, to which he had sort of mixed answers. “I don't think so. I'm not so big on cameos. If it's needed, then sure. I don't have a problem with them. But I don't think it's needed,” said Abhay.
    Well, let's be honest. We'd all love it if he and the rest of the gang join in the party.
    Farhan will be directing the film almost after a period of 10 years since he took up Don 2 starring Shah Rukh Khan. And we are really looking forward to this one.

    The first season of Bigg Boss OTT just wrapped up and Divya Agarwal was declared the first winner of the show. 
    She was supported by fans throughout but it hasn’t been a smooth ride for her. She has had spats with her co-contestants and even the host, filmmaker Karan Johar.

    In the first Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Karan Johar blasted her for saying she would nominate him for elimination even though he was the host of the show. They got into a heated argument and she fearlessly stood up against KJo, one of the biggest directors in Bollywood, who every actor seemingly wants to work for.

    Johar told her that there was a reason that she was the contestant on the show while he was the host so should maintain a line. 

    In a recent interview, Divya was asked if she thinks she put her career at stake by engaging in an argument with Johar. She said that she believes in her talent and will thrive in the industry, whether she works in a Karan Johar film or not.

    She said, “I am confident that as an artist, I will never starve to death. Acting is my profession and I am passionate about it. But it is not necessary that I can showcase my passion only in a Karan Johar film.”

    She further added, “I have nothing to do with how much my passion resonates with people, whether it is a hit or flop. I am doing what I want to. It doesn’t matter if it is a Karan Johar film or a regional film or a short film. If I have to get a film by impressing someone, the audience can see everything. They will criticise me if I can’t act, no matter how many films I get.”

    After the episode where Karan Johar told Divya to watch her tone while speaking to him since he was “the host,” many stood in support of Divya saying that Karan is biased and always sides with Shamita Shetty, who was her rival in the show.

    Even Suyyash Rai called him a ‘loser’ after that episode and said “You aren’t Salman Khan”. Divya’s statement on the conflict proves that talent is what matters, even more than big connections.

    Riding on the exceptional death bowling by their fast bowlers, Rajasthan Royals scripted a remarkable comeback to edge Punjab Kings by two runs in a nail-biting contest at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
    Kartik Tyagi and Mustafizur Rahman emerged as the heroes for Sanu Samson’s side, bowling remarkable last two overs. After a terrific start from their openers skipper KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, PBKS were cruising at one stage and a victory looked all but imminent, with only eight needed off the final 12 deliveries.
    WHAT. A. WIN!

    Simply stunning how @rajasthanroyals have pulled off a two-run victory from the jaws of defeat.

    Also, what made PBKS the favourites was that they had eight wickets in hand and more importantly, two set batsmen Nicholas Poorna and Aiden Markram at the crease. 
    At one stage, the question was not if they would win but how quickly they could finish things off and improve their net run rate. However, Rahman conceded only four runs in the penultimate over and the 20-year-old Tyagi probably bowled the best over of his IPL career and gave away just one run, handing his side a two-run victory.
    0, 1, W, 0, W, 0! @tyagiktk held his nerve & bowled a stunning last over to take @rajasthanroyals home against #PBKS #VIVOIPL #PBKSvRR

    But if there is one team that knows how to bottle things up and snatch defeats from the jaws of victory, then it’s got to be Punjab Kings without an iota of doubt. 
    They have been in this situation many times before wherein, despite being in the driver’s seat, they just couldn't kill the games off and returned home empty-handed. 
    And when the same thing happened once again on Tuesday night, it led to a huge backlash on social media, with their fans blaming the players’ laidback mentality for the loss.
    However, before the start of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL2021), the Punjab-based franchise had changed their name and after the loss against RR the fans completely lost their cool and started mocking the management for blaming their name for all the misfortunes.
    You win some, you lose some but it’s defeats like these that are hard to swallow. PBKS missed out on a playoff spot last season because of their inability to win close games.
    Another one mwhere #PBKS lost from a winning position. Seems no effect of name change from #KXIP to #PBKS
    — Sandeep (@sandeep_Vishu) September 21, 2021If there's anything that this Punjab kings team did new this season - is changing their name.#PBKSvRR #PBKS
    — Alchemist98 (@ramaravi1231) September 22, 2021Still laughing at how a team bottled 4/6 with 8 wickets in hand. Long live The IPL.

    — Veer GAUTAM sisodiya (@veerGS15) September 21, 2021Kings XI Punjab changed their name to Punjab Kings this season.

    But the results remain the same!! Still choking..
    — Shubham Misra Writing Thesis (@Shubham_Neuro) September 21, 2021If snatching defeat from the jaws of victory had a name!! #PunjabKings #PBKSvRR #IPL2021
    — Keerthi S Bhat (@KSB3Tweets) September 21, 2021How to lose a T20 match in #IPL2021?

    Ask #PunjabKings .. what's in name ? Changing team name didn't work so far..

    #PBKSvRR #RR
    — Hickerman (@CouncilTn) September 21, 2021However, instead of addressing the demons in the house, their management came to the conclusion that their bad fortune had more to do with their name than their players failing to handle pressure situations.
    And they changed the franchise’s name from Kings XI Punjab to Punjab Kings, hoping this would bring them good fortune. But sadly, no amount of superstition can help any side become better overnight unless it is willing to learn from its mistakes and PBKS don’t seem to be doing that just yet.

    Apple may have released the new iOS 15 update for iPhones but it seems like the Cupertino giant is working on new features that might help its users in other ways. It seems like Apple has bigger plans for its users by introducing mental health features and tools that could help people suffering from depression.

    According to a Wall Street Journal report, Apple has been working with the University of California (UCLA) and Biogen, a biotech firm to accurately detect depression and other mental health conditions. This would result in the iPhone “using an array of sensor data that includes mobility, physical activity, sleep patterns, typing behaviour and more" the report said. Researchers are also hoping that algorithms will be able to accurately detect mental health conditions on “digital signals associated with the target conditions.”

    This could be game-changing for people who suffer from mental health issues or may not be even aware that they have depression. UCLA and Biogen are conducting separate studies and research projects that will work in tandem with the aforementioned tech. UCLA will be exploring mental health problems such as stress, anxiety and depression with 3,000 participants, who will be evaluated by data collected from looking at the iPhone camera. UCLA will also be recording data from the keyboard, audio sensors along with movement and sleep tracking with the Apple Watch.

    “The data that may be used includes analysis of participants’ facial expressions, how they speak, the pace and frequency of their walks, sleep patterns, and heart and respiration rates. They may also measure the speed of their typing, frequency of their typos and content of what they type, among other data points, according to the people familiar with the research and the documents” the publication reported.

    Wall Street Journal goes on to add that this work is currently at a very early stage and may amount to nothing. Previously, it has been found by researchers that depression does lead to different patterns of smartphone use. It would be interesting to see whether this study and research product will be able to detect and hopefully predict these patterns using algorithms. The biggest challenge Apple and researchers will face is the reliability and accuracy of diagnosis.  

    However, it seems like people at Apple remains optimistic: 
    “Even though the effort is at an early stage, top Apple executives are excited about the possibility. Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams, who oversees Apple’s health unit, has spoken enthusiastically to employees about the company’s potential to address surging rates of depression and anxiety as well as other brain disorders, according to people who have heard him talk about the efforts.”
