Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran Spark Marriage Rumours Amid Viral Reddit Post

Renowned music composer Anirudh Ravichander, best known for chart-topping albums like Jailer, Jawan, Leo, Vikram, Petta, and the upcoming Devara, is reportedly set to tie the knot with Kavya Maran, the owner of IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran. Speculation about their relationship has been circulating on social media, gaining momentum after a Reddit post suggesting their wedding plans went viral. According to the post, Superstar Rajinikanth, who is Anirudh’s uncle (via his aunt Latha Rajinikanth), is said to have personally spoken to Kalanithi Maran about the relationship — further fueling expectations that a wedding might be on the horizon. Rumours of the duo dating began after they were recently spotted together on a dinner date, with several Reddit users claiming they had seen the couple spending quality time at star hotels and even during a casual stroll down the Las Vegas strip. Adding an intriguing twist, one Reddit user recalled an old interview featuring a tarot reader, who had predicted that Anirudh would marry someone highly educated and associated with the telecommunication or broadcasting industry — a description that oddly fits Kavya Maran, given her role in Sun TV and SRH. Anirudh, son of actor Ravi Raghavendra and classical dancer Lakshmi, comes from a family deeply rooted in the South Indian entertainment industry. Kavya Maran, on the other hand, is a prominent figure in media and sports as the face of the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise and the heir to the Sun Group empire. While neither party has officially confirmed the relationship or marriage plans, the growing online chatter and reported involvement of family elders like Rajinikanth have added weight to the rumours. Fans of both Anirudh and Kavya are now eagerly awaiting an official announcement.

Billionaire Industrialist Sunjay Kapur Passes Away at 53 After Tragic Incident in London

Indian-born billionaire and prominent businessman Sunjay Kapur, the ex-husband of Bollywood actor Karisma Kapoor, has passed away at the age of 53 in London, reportedly following a heart attack. According to media reports, the incident occurred after Kapur accidentally swallowed a bee during a polo match in England, which is believed to have triggered the cardiac episode. 💰 A Billionaire Business Legacy Kapur, a US citizen, was listed among the World’s Billionaires by Forbes in 2022. At the time of his passing, his net worth was estimated at $1.2 billion (₹10,300 crore). He was the chairman of Sona Comstar, a leading global auto components manufacturer headquartered in Gurugram, India. The company, known for its electric vehicle (EV) components, operates across India, China, Mexico, Serbia, and the US, with 12 manufacturing facilities and over 5,000 employees. Sona Comstar’s 2024–25 financial report revealed a 12% increase in revenue, reaching ₹35.5 billion ($412 million). Notably, EV components made up 36% of the company’s revenue—a testament to Kapur’s vision of adapting to the evolving auto landscape. 🛠 From Family Business to Global Force Sunjay Kapur took the reins of the company in 2015, following the death of his father, Surinder Kapur, who founded Sona Comstar in 1995. Surinder was a trailblazer in India’s auto components sector, and under Sunjay’s leadership, the company expanded globally. The name “Sona” (meaning “gold” in Hindi) was inspired by his grandfather’s jewellery business, adding a layer of legacy to the brand’s identity. 👨‍👩‍👧 Personal Life and Public Spotlight Sunjay Kapur became a household name in 2003 after marrying Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. The couple’s lavish wedding drew widespread media attention. They share two children—Samaira and Kiaan. After years of a rocky relationship, they officially divorced in 2016. Despite his divorce, Kapur remained a notable figure in both business and social circles in India and abroad. 🕯 In Memoriam The sudden and tragic death of Sunjay Kapur has left a void in the Indian and global business community. Known for transforming a family enterprise into a multinational corporation and for his strategic vision in the EV sector, Kapur’s legacy will continue through Sona Comstar’s global footprint. His untimely demise serves as a reminder of life’s unpredictability—even for those at the peak of success.

Kunal Kamra Faces Breach of Privilege Motion Over Satirical Song Targeting Eknath Shinde

Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra is under scrutiny by the Maharashtra Legislative Council after a breach of privilege motion against him was admitted by Council Chairperson Ram Shinde. The motion has been forwarded to the Breach of Privilege Committee, chaired by BJP legislator Prasad Lad, which is expected to soon issue a notice to Kamra seeking his response. The controversy stems from a satirical song released by Kamra during the state legislature’s budget session in March, in which he alluded to Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as a “gaddar” (traitor), referencing Shinde’s political split from the Shiv Sena. The song triggered protests in both Houses of the legislature, leading BJP MLC Pravin Darekar to move the motion on March 26, the final day of the session. Darekar alleged that Kamra had used derogatory language against a popular public figure, thereby breaching the privilege of the legislature. Despite the motion being submitted over two months ago, it was admitted only recently due to differences of opinion on the legal validity of such a move. An official from Vidhan Bhavan confirmed that the privilege panel is likely to meet before the upcoming monsoon session, during which it will consider Kamra’s case and issue a formal notice to him for his explanation. The delay in action was reportedly due to caution advised by the legislature’s legal wing, which referred to Supreme Court rulings, including the Sita Soren case, highlighting that breach of privilege motions are valid only if the alleged act obstructs legislators from discharging their duties. The legal cell expressed doubts over whether Kamra’s song met that threshold and suggested that the final decision be left to the committee. Interestingly, a similar motion in the Legislative Assembly moved by Shiv Sena MLA Ramesh Bornare was not admitted by the Speaker, reflecting divided opinions even within the legislature on whether Kamra’s actions constitute a true breach of privilege. Kamra, known for his politically charged satire, has yet to comment publicly on the matter. The outcome of the committee’s review will determine whether any formal censure or further legal action will follow.

राज्य में कोविड मामलों में इजाफा: नए वेरिएंट JN.1 से लक्षणों में बदलाव, अब पाचन संबंधी समस्याएं प्रमुख

शुक्रवार को राज्य में कोविड-19 के 100 सक्रिय मामले दर्ज किए गए, जिससे कुल मामलों की संख्या बढ़कर 139 हो गई है। बीते 24 घंटे में 14 नए मामले सामने आए। इस वर्ष अब तक कोविड से तीन मौतें हो चुकी हैं। सबसे हालिया मृत्यु रतलाम की 52 वर्षीय महिला की हुई, जिनकी कुछ दिन पहले इंदौर में कोविड संक्रमण के कारण जान गई। इससे पहले 6 जून को खरगोन की 44 वर्षीय महिला की MRTB अस्पताल में मृत्यु हुई थी। इस साल की पहली मौत 27 अप्रैल को इंदौर के ऑरोबिंदो अस्पताल में हुई थी, जहां 74 वर्षीय किडनी रोगी ने दम तोड़ दिया था। नया वेरिएंट JN.1: लक्षणों में दिख रहा है बदलाव गांधी मेडिकल कॉलेज (जीएमसी) के पल्मोनोलॉजी विभागाध्यक्ष डॉ. लोकेन्द्र डेव ने बताया कि वर्तमान में फैल रहे JN.1 वेरिएंट के लक्षणों में पहले की तुलना में कुछ स्पष्ट बदलाव देखे जा रहे हैं। उन्होंने बताया, “JN.1 वेरिएंट में सबसे प्रमुख बदलाव पाचन तंत्र से जुड़ी समस्याओं के रूप में सामने आ रहा है — जैसे मतली, भूख न लगना, पेट दर्द और दस्त। पहले भी ये लक्षण देखे जाते थे, लेकिन बहुत हल्के और कम मामलों में। अब ये ज़्यादा आम और तीव्र हो गए हैं।” बुखार के पैटर्न को लेकर डॉ. डेव ने कहा, “पहले के वेरिएंट्स में तेज बुखार, ठंड लगना और पसीना आना आम था। जबकि JN.1 में लगातार हल्का बुखार बना रहता है। यह कई बार लोगों को मामूली थकान या सामान्य कमजोरी जैसा महसूस होता है और इस कारण अनदेखा भी हो सकता है।” स्वास्थ्य विभाग और डॉक्टरों ने जनता से सतर्क रहने, हल्के लक्षणों को भी गंभीरता से लेने और समय पर जांच करवाने की अपील की है।
