Exclusive - Is Abdu Rozik's brother Fahad Al Nuaimi going to Bigg Boss 18? Here's how the former reacted

Abdu Rozik’s journey on Bigg Boss 18 captivated audiences worldwide, but now it seems we might get a chance to meet another member of his family—his brother, Fahad Al Nuaimi. Hailing from the prestigious Al Nuaimi family, one of the ruling families of the seven emirates, Fahad is apparently set to make history as the first-ever Emirati contestant on Bigg Boss.
Fahad, just 20 years old and born in Ajman, has been an integral part of Abdu’s life. As Abdu’s best friend and ally, he has supported him through thick and thin, living together in the family residence in the UAE. The bond between the two is evident, with Fahad often acting as Abdu’s confidant and supporter. This familial support system has played a crucial role in Abdu’s rise to fame, and now it seems the spotlight may be shifting to Fahad.
The Al Nuaimi family has been instrumental in Abdu’s career, sponsoring and supporting him from the very beginning. Their influence and connections have helped Abdu gain international recognition. Now, with Fahad potentially stepping into the Bigg Boss house, it’s a thrilling prospect for both the family and fans.
Fahad is not just a supportive brother; he’s also a keen entrepreneur. In addition to his business ventures, he serves as a youth ambassador for people of determination, showing a strong commitment to uplifting others in his community. His involvement in these initiatives highlights his dedication to making a positive impact, further endearing him to fans.
Interestingly, it was Fahad who discovered Abdu’s talent. After stumbling upon one of Abdu’s TikTok posts, Fahad knew he could help Abdu and change his life. He urged his parents to meet him and bring him from Tajikistan to Dubai. His immediate reaction upon meeting Abdu was humorously candid: “Can I keep him?”
This close-knit relationship has not only provided Abdu with support but has also allowed him to thrive in the entertainment industry.
Abdu expressed his unwavering support for his brother, saying, “If my brother Fahad goes on Bigg Boss, I would support him wholeheartedly as he has supported me from the start of my career. I’m sure all the girls will love him, and he has such a naughty personality. Fahad is used to being around celebrities and important people since he was a child so I would love to see his reactions and others to him. I would make sure to promote him and ensure he gets the love from India like I did.”
This heartfelt message reflects the deep bond they share and Abdu’s commitment to his brother’s success.

TIRUPATI: Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams and the Tirupati district police wing are on tenterhooks with the back-to-back visits of former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, deputy chief minister and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan, and chief minister and TDP supremo Nara Chandrababu Naidu to Tirumala over the next ten days amidst the ongoing laddu-ghee adulteration row.
With accusations and counter-accusations flying thick and fast between the NDA alliance parties and the YSRCP, which are engaged in a fierce political slugfest over the laddu-ghee adulteration row at the Tirumala temple for more than a week now, the episode has caused extreme heartburn among millions of devotees of Lord Venkateswara Swamy worldwide.The three topmost political leaders in AP politics are queuing up to Tirumala, starting with the former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s visit to Tirumala on September 27-28.
After the YSRCP announced Jagan’s tentative Tirumala visit dates, the NDA alliance parties, including the TDP, BJP, and the Jana Sena, have also raked up the “declaration for non-Hindus” clause and have been pressing for the TTD administration to enforce the rule during the former chief minister’s visit to Tirumala.
In addition to the NDA alliance parties, various pro-Hindu outfits have also opposed Jagan’s visit to Tirumala, squarely blaming the erstwhile YSRCP regime as responsible for using ghee adulterated with animal fats in the preparation of Tirupati Laddus.
On the other hand, deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, who embarked on a Prayaschitha Deeksha (atonement for a sin), is scheduled to visit Tirumala on Oct 1-2.
Following the visits of Jagan and Pawan, chief minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu is scheduled to visit Tirumala on the first day of Srivari annual Brahmotsavams to present Pattu Vastrams (silk robes) to Lord Venkateswara as per the customary practice on Oct 4.
Amidst heightened political tensions between the ruling and opposition parties over the laddu-ghee adulteration row, Tirupati police on Thursday announced the enforcement of section 30 of the police Act from Sept 25 till Oct 24 as a precautionary measure.
Tirupati SP L Subba Rayudu stated that necessary permissions will have to be obtained from the police department for any congregations, rallies, processions, public meetings, etc., proposed to be held in the next one month.

Barron Trump: ‘Very difficult’: Melania on conversation with Barron Trump about 1st assassination attempt on Donald


'Very difficult': Melania on conversation with Barron Trump about 1st assassination attempt on Donald

In her Fox News interview, former first lady Melania Trump opened up about the two recent assassination attempts on her husband Donald Trump and recounted how difficult it was to discuss that with their 18-year-old son Barron Trump. Barron has joined New York University’s Stern School of Business early this month. The first assassination attempt took place in Pennsylvania in July — before Barron started his college and the second took place this month in Florida — after he joined his college.
On a question on how was Melania’s conversation with Barron when Donald Trump was shot at in Pennsylvania, Melania said it was a very difficult discussion. Barron was playing outside and he rushed inside. On the day of the second assassination attempt, Melania said she was in New York city and she saw it on television. “I called him and he was okay. The Secret Service guys were with him, they were great, fantastic,” Melania said.

Melania is publishing her memoir next month aiming at dispelling misinformation and falsehood written about her. “I want to set the record straight,” Melania said adding that she supports Donald Trump’s re-election bid. “I know how passionate he is about making America great again.”
Melania said she did not give a speech at the Republican National Convention because she felt her letter to America that she wrote days before the convention was her speech.
On the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago, Melania said it made her very angry as it was an invasion of privacy; they also searched Baron’s room. “I saw unpleasant stuff that nobody wants to see. Nobody should be putting up with that kind of stuff. I don’t even know who or how many people went through my personal stuff,” Melania said on the raids.
Melania was asked how he feels when people say they hate Donald Trump. “What you wish they knew about him?” she was asked. “That he is really a family man. He loves his family, he loves his country. All he wants is to build better, strong. He is not afraid…the way he said ‘fight fight’ just after being shot at,” Melania said.
On becoming the first lady
In 2016, Melania and Donald Trump got to know the announcement of the result from television and Donald Trump said to Melania: ‘Can you believe it?”. “Yes, I can,” Melania said, as recounted in her memoir. Recollecting that moment, Melania in the interview said that she doesn’t know whether it hit her that she was the first lady, but she realized that it was a huge responsibility.

Russia Warns Zelensky On “Fatal Mistake”, Ukraine Slams Ally’s Call To Be Realistic About War Goals


The Kremlin dismissed Ukrainian President Zelensky’s assertion that Russia could be forced into peace as a “fatal mistake.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov argued that such a viewpoint misrepresents Russia’s position, asserting that Russia desires peace only if its military objectives are met. Zelensky, currently seeking international support in the US, emphasized the need for a full Russian withdrawal for lasting peace. Meanwhile, skepticism grows among Western leaders regarding Zelensky’s “victory plan,” which they view as unrealistic and lacking actionable strategies for resolving the conflict.

Coimbatore passenger associations oppose proposal to extend Mayiladuthurai–Thanjavur passenger train to Palakkad | Coimbatore News


Coimbatore passenger associations oppose proposal to extend Mayiladuthurai–Thanjavur passenger train to Palakkad

COIMBATORE: Passenger associations in Coimbatore have opposed Southern Railway‘s proposal to extend the Mayiladuthurai–Thanjavur passenger train to Palakkad — instead of Coimbatore — from Pollachi. They have urged railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to revise the proposal so that the train reaches Coimbatore Junction via Palani and Pollachi.
In a letter to the minister, the associations highlighted that their request for an unreserved passenger train service from Mayiladuthurai to Coimbatore via Thanjavur, Trichy, Dindigul, Palani, Pollachi and Kinathukkadavu was initially considered by the railways.However, to their dismay, Southern Railway’s proposal released on Sept 20 indicated that the train would be extended to Palakkad from Pollachi.
“This is the second instance where a train meant for Coimbatore has been diverted to Palakkad,” they noted.
The associations recalled a similar diversion in Dec 2021 when Tiruchendur Express, expected to be extended to Coimbatore, was instead rerouted to Palakkad despite strong protests by Pollachi, Coimbatore and the Nilgiris MPs and four MLAs from the region.
“We, the passengers of Coimbatore district and the Western Tamil Nadu region, strongly condemn such actions by Southern Railway, which deprive passengers of essential services due to poor decision-making. We also strongly oppose any move to extend the UDAY Express beyond Pollachi to Palakkad. We would appreciate it if the service were extended to Palani instead, as it would enhance connectivity logically,” the letter stated.
The associations have requested Southern Railway officials to revise the proposal for the Mayiladuthurai–Thanjavur passenger train (No 06415/06416), so it reaches Coimbatore Junction via Palani, Pollachi, and Kinathukkadavu from Mayiladuthurai. They also urged the rerouting of the Palakkad – Tiruchendur Express train (N. 16731/16732) from Pollachi to Coimbatore via Kinathukkadavu.

Lahiri received the Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for her book “Interpreter of Maladies.” The New York Times first reported the news

Pulitzer Prize winning author Jhumpa Lahiri declined to accept an award from New York City’s Noguchi Museum after it fired three employees for wearing keffiyeh head scarves, an emblem of Palestinian solidarity, following an updated dress code.

“Jhumpa Lahiri has chosen to withdraw her acceptance of the 2024 Isamu Noguchi Award in response to our updated dress code policy,” the museum said in a statement on Wednesday. “We respect her perspective and understand that this policy may or may not align with everyone’s views.” Lahiri received the Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for her book “Interpreter of Maladies.” The New York Times first reported the news.

Across the world, in protesters demanding an end to Israel’s war in Gaza have worn the black-and-white keffiyeh head scarf, a symbol of Palestinian self-determination. Anti apartheid South African leader Nelson Mandela was also seen wearing the scarf on many occasions. Israel’s supporters, on the other hand, say it signals backing extremism.

In November, three students of Palestinian descent in Vermont were shot in an attack. Two were wearing the keffiyeh. Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza has killed tens of thousands and displaced nearly everyone there. It followed a deadly attack by Palestinian Hamas militants on Israel on Oct. 7.

Last month, the art museum – founded by Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi – announced a policy prohibiting employees from wearing anything that expressed “political messages, slogans or symbols.” Three employees were sacked. Other people in the United States have also lost their jobs due to their stance on the Israel-Gaza war.

A New York City hospital fired a Palestinian American nurse in May after she called Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide” during an acceptance speech for an award. Israel denies genocide charges brought by South Africa at the World Court.

Ola Electric aims to establish 10,000 outlets by 2025-end


Ola Electric aims to establish 10,000 outlets by 2025-end

NEW DELHI: Electric two-wheeler maker Ola Electric on Thursday announced that it will set 10,000 sales and service outlets by the end of 2025 as its aims to expand across smaller cities and towns including urban areas where EV penetration still remains low.
The company further said that it has on-boarded 625 partners under this initiative and plans to have 1,000 partners ahead of the festive season this year.
Currently, Ola Electric has approximately 800 company-owned stores, and will be having nearly 1,800 sales and service touch points with the network partner programme, ahead of the upcoming festive season.
“Our D2C model has been extremely successful in driving sustainable business growth. The Network Partner Program will further amplify the benefits of our D2C network as it requires limited capital investment from partners and can be scaled up really fast,” Ola Electric chairman and MD Bhavish Aggarwal said.
He further said that although the company-owned stores will be the anchors of the sales and service network, this programme will be a significant step in expanding the EV footprint deeper into the urban and rural markets.
“We will continue to expand and invest in our front-end network to accelerate EV adoption to #EndICEAge, and by the end of next year, will have 10,000 Network Partners across the country,” Aggarwal said.
