He serves as the Chairman of the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children’s Hospital — the South Pacific’s first and only paediatric cardiac super-speciality hospital offering 100% free heart surgeries to children across Fiji and the Pacific Islands.</p><p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-917" src="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-singer-Sumeet-Tappoo-receives-top-Fiji-honour-for-humanitarian-work-2.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" srcset="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-singer-Sumeet-Tappoo-receives-top-Fiji-honour-for-humanitarian-work-2.jpg 1200w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-singer-Sumeet-Tappoo-receives-top-Fiji-honour-for-humanitarian-work-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-singer-Sumeet-Tappoo-receives-top-Fiji-honour-for-humanitarian-work-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-singer-Sumeet-Tappoo-receives-top-Fiji-honour-for-humanitarian-work-2-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p><p>In his heartfelt message of gratitude, Sumeet said, “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would receive our beloved Fiji’s highest honour. I am deeply humbled and profoundly grateful to accept this recognition from His Excellency, the President of Fiji. I have always believed that to whom much is given, much is expected, and I will strive harder to keep making a difference to humanity.”</p><p>Describing the impact of the hospital, Sumeet called it “a divine miracle and an enduring monument of love”, noting how what once seemed an impossible dream is now a fully operational, world-class institution changing countless young lives. “This is the power of love. This is the power of goodness. This is the power of humanity,” he said.</p><p>Joining Sumeet in receiving the same esteemed honour was Dr Krupali Tappoo, Director of the hospital, who has played a critical role in the operational excellence and expansion of paediatric cardiac care in the region.</p><p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3126" src="https://newsfeatures.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-singer-Sumeet-Tappoo-receives-top-Fiji-honour-for-humanitarian-work-5.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" /></p><p>Completing the trio of awardees was global humanitarian and spiritual leader Sri Madhusudan Sai — the founder of the ‘One World, One Family Global Humanitarian Mission’ and the founder of the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children’s Hospital in Fiji — awarded for his visionary leadership in establishing the hospital and for his wider global contributions to free healthcare, nutrition, and education.</p><p>Sri Madhusudan Sai’s recognition places him among an elite list of Indian dignitaries to receive Fiji’s top honour — following only Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and President Smt Droupadi Murmu.</p><p>Since its inception, the hospital has performed 378 life-saving heart surgeries, more than 30,000 paediatric echocardiograms, and over 40,000 free general and specialist outpatient medical consultations — all completely free of charge.</p><p>President Lalabalavu praised the trio’s unwavering dedication and emphasised the hospital’s role as one of the country’s most successful public-private healthcare partnerships.</p><p>Their collective recognition marks a defining moment not only in the lives of the recipients but also for the people of Fiji. It symbolises what can be achieved when service, compassion, and vision come together for the greater good.</p><p>For Sumeet Tappoo, the honour is more than an award — it is a renewed call to service. His journey, rooted in love for his homeland, continues to uplift countless lives — through the healing power of music and the transformative power of humanitarian action.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com/features/bollywood-singer-sumeet-tappoo-receives-top-fiji-honour-for-humanitarian-work/">Bollywood singer Sumeet Tappoo receives top Fiji honour for humanitarian work</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com">Bharat Trending</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bharattrending.com/features/bollywood-singer-sumeet-tappoo-receives-top-fiji-honour-for-humanitarian-work/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Reliance Defence and Rheinmetall AG to build major ammunition plant in Maharashtra</title> <link>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/reliance-defence-and-rheinmetall-ag-to-build-major-ammunition-plant-in-maharashtra/</link> <comments>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/reliance-defence-and-rheinmetall-ag-to-build-major-ammunition-plant-in-maharashtra/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[News Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2025 11:56:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[In Vogue]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bharattrending.com/reliance-defence-and-rheinmetall-ag-to-build-major-ammunition-plant-in-maharashtra</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Reliance-Defence-and-Rheinmetall-AG-to-build-major-ammunition-plant-in-Maharashtra.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Reliance-Defence-and-Rheinmetall-AG-to-build-major-ammunition-plant-in-Maharashtra.jpg 1200w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Reliance-Defence-and-Rheinmetall-AG-to-build-major-ammunition-plant-in-Maharashtra-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Reliance-Defence-and-Rheinmetall-AG-to-build-major-ammunition-plant-in-Maharashtra-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Reliance-Defence-and-Rheinmetall-AG-to-build-major-ammunition-plant-in-Maharashtra-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>Reliance Defence, promoted by Anil Ambani’s Reliance Infrastructure, has entered into a strategic partnership with German defence major Rheinmetall AG to manufacture ammunition in India.

The collaboration, formalised through a memorandum of understanding, will focus on the production and supply of explosives and propellants for medium and large-calibre ammunition.</p><p>Reliance Defence will establish a greenfield manufacturing facility in the Watad Industrial Area of Ratnagiri, Maharashtra. This facility, to be known as the Dhirubhai Ambani Defence City (DADC), is set to become one of the largest of its kind in South Asia, with an annual capacity to produce up to 200,000 artillery shells, 10,000 tonnes of explosives, and 2,000 tonnes of propellants. The project is positioned as a significant step in Reliance Defence’s ambition to be among the top three defence exporters in India.</p><p>The partnership also includes plans for joint marketing activities and the possibility of further cooperation in the future. The new facility is expected to play a vital role in meeting the requirements of the Indian armed forces and supporting the government’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives. It will also contribute to India’s goal of achieving ₹50,000 crore in defence exports by 2029.</p><p>Rheinmetall AG’s CEO, Armin Papperger, highlighted the long-term strategic value of the partnership and reiterated the company’s commitment to collaborating with India. Anil Ambani described the alliance as a transformational moment for India’s private defence manufacturing sector, emphasising the project’s role in strengthening India’s position in the global defence supply chain.</p><p>This collaboration marks Reliance Defence’s third major international partnership, following previous alliances with France’s Dassault Aviation and Thales Group. The new manufacturing complex is set to become the largest greenfield defence sector project developed by a private Indian company, reinforcing India’s growing stature in the global defence industry.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/reliance-defence-and-rheinmetall-ag-to-build-major-ammunition-plant-in-maharashtra/">Reliance Defence and Rheinmetall AG to build major ammunition plant in Maharashtra</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com">Bharat Trending</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/reliance-defence-and-rheinmetall-ag-to-build-major-ammunition-plant-in-maharashtra/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>DGCA mandates closed window shades for flights at defence airports</title> <link>https://bharattrending.com/features/dgca-mandates-closed-window-shades-for-flights-at-defence-airports/</link> <comments>https://bharattrending.com/features/dgca-mandates-closed-window-shades-for-flights-at-defence-airports/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[News Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2025 07:36:40 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Features]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bharattrending.com/dgca-mandates-closed-window-shades-for-flights-at-defence-airports</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/DGCA-mandates-closed-window-shades-for-flights-at-defence-airports.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/DGCA-mandates-closed-window-shades-for-flights-at-defence-airports.jpg 1200w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/DGCA-mandates-closed-window-shades-for-flights-at-defence-airports-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/DGCA-mandates-closed-window-shades-for-flights-at-defence-airports-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/DGCA-mandates-closed-window-shades-for-flights-at-defence-airports-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a directive requiring all commercial airlines, charter operators, and private jet operators to ensure that aircraft window shades remain closed during take-off and landing at defence airfields.

This measure applies to all passenger windows, except those at emergency exits, and is specifically targeted at operations from defence airports, particularly those near India’s western border.</p><p>The DGCA’s order comes in the wake of recent security incidents, including the Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent Operation Sindoor. Following these events, several airports in northern, central, and western India, including sensitive defence airbases with civil enclaves such as Srinagar, Jammu, Leh, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Gwalior, and Hindon, were temporarily closed. As operations resume, the DGCA has introduced these new protocols to enhance operational safety and prevent the unintentional sharing of sensitive security-related information by passengers or crew.</p><p>Under the new guidelines, window shades must remain closed during the take-off and landing phases at defence airfields. Specifically, shades should stay shut until the aircraft is airborne and has crossed an altitude of 10,000 feet during departure, and during arrival, from when the aircraft descends below 10,000 feet until it reaches the parking bay at the civil terminal. The only exception is for emergency exit windows, where shades may remain open.</p><p>The DGCA has emphasised strict compliance with this directive, warning that violations will attract legal action.

The investment, routed through Foxconn’s Singapore-based subsidiary, involves the purchase of 12.77 billion shares in Yuzhan Technology India, which is responsible for producing electronic components and assembling iPhones.</p><p>This move is part of Apple’s broader strategy to diversify its supply chain, reducing reliance on China amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and trade tariffs. The new facility, located in the Oragadam industrial hub adjacent to Foxconn’s existing iPhone assembly plant, will focus on assembling display modules — a critical component in iPhones. Once operational, the plant is expected to be one of the largest investments in India’s electronics sector and create approximately 14,000 jobs.</p><p>Apple has rapidly increased its manufacturing footprint in India over the past year. In the 12 months through March, the company assembled $22 billion worth of iPhones in India, marking a production increase of nearly 60 percent compared to the previous year. The bulk of these devices are assembled at Foxconn’s factories in southern India, with additional contributions from Tata Group and other suppliers.</p><p>The Indian government’s production-linked incentive schemes and infrastructure incentives have played a key role in attracting global electronics manufacturers like Apple and Foxconn. Tamil Nadu, in particular, is positioning itself as a major hub for Apple product manufacturing, with investments from multiple component suppliers and the creation of tens of thousands of jobs.</p><p>The $1.5 billion investment underscores Apple’s commitment to its “China-plus-one” strategy, aiming to mitigate risks from supply chain disruptions and tariff policies. The company has also indicated plans to import a majority of iPhones sold in the United States from India by the end of next year.</p><p>Despite political pressure from the United States to bring manufacturing back home, Apple continues to expand its presence in India, signalling a long-term shift in its global production strategy. The Chennai investment not only strengthens Apple’s supply chain resilience but also cements India’s role as a critical player in the global electronics manufacturing landscape.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/foxconns-1-5-billion-investment-cements-chennai-as-apples-new-manufacturing-hub/">Foxconn’s $1.5 billion investment cements Chennai as Apple’s new manufacturing hub</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com">Bharat Trending</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/foxconns-1-5-billion-investment-cements-chennai-as-apples-new-manufacturing-hub/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>US-India trade deal deadline looms amid tariff concerns</title> <link>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/us-india-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns/</link> <comments>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/us-india-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[News Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2025 06:55:04 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[In Vogue]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bharattrending.com/us-india-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-India-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-India-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns.jpg 1200w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-India-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-India-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-India-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>India and the United States are working intensively to announce an interim trade agreement before 8 July, as a 26 per cent reciprocal tariff imposed by Washington on Indian goods is set to take effect unless a deal is reached.

The additional tariff, introduced by the US on 2 April, has been temporarily suspended for 90 days, providing both nations a narrow window to resolve key trade differences.</p><p>Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal is currently in Washington, leading negotiations with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Discussions have focused on securing a full exemption for Indian exports from both the 26 per cent additional tariff and the existing 10 per cent baseline US duty. Indian officials have indicated that the interim pact is expected to cover goods, non-tariff barriers, and select services such as digital trade.</p><p>India is pushing for greater market access for its labour-intensive sectors, including textiles, leather, gems and jewellery, garments, plastics, chemicals, and agricultural products. In return, New Delhi may consider offering concessions such as minimum import prices or quotas to protect sensitive domestic sectors like agriculture and dairy.</p><p>The negotiations are being conducted in phases. The first phase, targeted for completion before the 8 July deadline, aims to deliver early mutual gains and prevent the imposition of the steep US tariffs on Indian goods. Both sides have also agreed to continue talks with the goal of finalising a broader bilateral trade agreement by the autumn, with a long-term vision of more than doubling bilateral trade to 500 billion US dollars by 2030.</p><p>The US administration retains the authority to remove the reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods, while any move to lower tariffs below most-favoured nation rates would require congressional approval. The outcome of the current talks will be crucial in shaping the future of India-US trade relations, especially amid ongoing global economic uncertainties.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/us-india-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns/">US-India trade deal deadline looms amid tariff concerns</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com">Bharat Trending</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/us-india-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Rohit Sharma steps down from Test cricket ahead of England tour</title> <link>https://bharattrending.com/features/rohit-sharma-steps-down-from-test-cricket-ahead-of-england-tour/</link> <comments>https://bharattrending.com/features/rohit-sharma-steps-down-from-test-cricket-ahead-of-england-tour/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[News Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2025 20:19:07 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Features]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bharattrending.com/rohit-sharma-steps-down-from-test-cricket-ahead-of-england-tour</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Rohit-Sharma-steps-down-from-Test-cricket-ahead-of-England-tour-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Rohit-Sharma-steps-down-from-Test-cricket-ahead-of-England-tour-2.jpg 1200w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Rohit-Sharma-steps-down-from-Test-cricket-ahead-of-England-tour-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Rohit-Sharma-steps-down-from-Test-cricket-ahead-of-England-tour-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Rohit-Sharma-steps-down-from-Test-cricket-ahead-of-England-tour-2-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>Rohit Sharma has stepped down from Test cricket ahead of England tour.

Rohit’s decision marks the end of a distinguished Test career that began in 2013. Over 67 matches, he amassed 4,301 runs at an average of 40.57, including 12 centuries and 18 half-centuries. He led India in 24 Tests, winning 12 and losing nine. Known for his elegance and composure at the crease, Rohit became a reliable opener and a respected leader in recent years.</p><p>The timing of the announcement follows a period of speculation regarding his place in the Test side, especially after a series of underwhelming performances. In his last nine Tests, Rohit averaged just 10.93, including a difficult tour of Australia where India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1 and a home series defeat to New Zealand. Reports had suggested that selectors were considering a change in leadership ahead of the new World Test Championship cycle, with Shubman Gill emerging as a likely candidate for the captaincy.</p><p>Rohit’s retirement from Tests comes less than a year after he led India to victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, ending a 13-year drought in ICC tournaments. He had already retired from T20Is following that triumph. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) praised Rohit’s contributions, highlighting his professionalism, sportsmanship, and the culture of discipline he fostered within the team.</p><p>With Rohit stepping away from Test cricket, India will soon announce a new captain for the upcoming England tour, signalling a new era in the team’s red-ball journey. Rohit’s legacy, however, will endure in the shorter formats, where his leadership and batting remain invaluable.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com/features/rohit-sharma-steps-down-from-test-cricket-ahead-of-england-tour/">Rohit Sharma steps down from Test cricket ahead of England tour</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com">Bharat Trending</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bharattrending.com/features/rohit-sharma-steps-down-from-test-cricket-ahead-of-england-tour/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan introduces himself at Met Gala red carpet</title> <link>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/bollywood-megastar-shah-rukh-khan-introduces-himself-at-met-gala-red-carpet/</link> <comments>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/bollywood-megastar-shah-rukh-khan-introduces-himself-at-met-gala-red-carpet/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[News Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2025 20:13:40 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[In Vogue]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bharattrending.com/bollywood-megastar-shah-rukh-khan-introduces-himself-at-met-gala-red-carpet</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-superstar-Shah-Rukh-Khan-introduces-himself-at-Met-Gala-red-carpet.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-superstar-Shah-Rukh-Khan-introduces-himself-at-Met-Gala-red-carpet.jpg 1200w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-superstar-Shah-Rukh-Khan-introduces-himself-at-Met-Gala-red-carpet-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-superstar-Shah-Rukh-Khan-introduces-himself-at-Met-Gala-red-carpet-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Bollywood-superstar-Shah-Rukh-Khan-introduces-himself-at-Met-Gala-red-carpet-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>Shah Rukh Khan, one of the world’s most celebrated film stars, made his much-anticipated debut at the Met Gala in New York, embracing the event’s theme with a custom look by Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.

Despite his global fame, Khan was met with curiosity from some members of the international press, who asked him to introduce himself on the red carpet. Khan responded simply, “I’m Shah Rukh,” before explaining his outfit and designer.</p><p>Khan wore a dramatic floor-length coat crafted from Tasmanian superfine wool, featuring monogrammed Japanese horn buttons. The single-breasted coat, with its peak collar and wide lapels, was paired with a black crepe de chine silk shirt, tailored wool trousers, and a pleated satin kamarbandh at the waist. The look was completed with layered gold chains, a bold ‘K’ pendant referencing his ‘King Khan’ moniker, and a Bengal Tiger Head Cane in 18k gold set with gemstones.</p><p>This year’s Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” explored the evolution of Black fashion and its cultural impact. Sabyasachi’s design for Khan referenced the historical narratives of Black and Indian dandyism, blending classic menswear with maximalist Indian flourishes. Khan stated that he requested the look be in black or white, preferring comfort above all.</p><p>Although Khan’s presence led to crowds gathering outside his hotel, the moment on the red carpet when he was asked “Who are you?” highlighted the sometimes surprising gaps in global celebrity recognition. Sabyasachi and event hosts later emphasised Khan’s iconic status, noting his influence and the significance of his Met Gala debut as the first Indian male Bollywood star to walk the event’s red carpet.</p><p>Khan admitted to feeling nervous, describing himself as shy and not often attending such events, but said he was motivated to impress his children and showcase Indian talent on a global stage.

While neither artist has officially confirmed the project, speculation has intensified after reports on Indian news websites.</p><p>Jackson Wang, the Chinese K-pop singer and founder of Team Wang, has been said to be expanding his global reach beyond China, South Korea and Hong Kong with collaborations. Meanwhile, Diljit Dosanjh, a leading figure in Punjabi and Bollywood music, has also been making waves internationally with his recent performances and releases.</p><p>Now the Indian news media has expressed the possibility of a crossover track blending Wang’s K-pop influences with Dosanjh’s signature Punjabi sound. Neither camp has released an official statement, but industry sources suggest discussions may be underway for a collaboration between Diljit Dosanjh and the Chinese K-pop singer.</p><p>According to Wikipedia, in August 2019, Jackson Wang uploaded a photo of the Chinese flag and declared himself as “one of 1.4 billion guardians of the Chinese flag” on his official Weibo account, after a People’s Republic of China flag was removed and tossed into the Victoria Harbour during the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests. In a January 2020 interview with Forbes, Wang introduced himself as “Jackson Wang from China” and stated: “My goal is just to put my name out on the table just to let everybody to get to know me. I want to … let people know that Chinese kids are working on good music too.”</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com/features/diljit-dosanjhs-chinese-connection/">Diljit Dosanjh’s Chinese connection??</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com">Bharat Trending</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bharattrending.com/features/diljit-dosanjhs-chinese-connection/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Neha Kakkar accused of lying about payment and causing concert chaos</title> <link>https://bharattrending.com/features/neha-kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos/</link> <comments>https://bharattrending.com/features/neha-kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Bollywood Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 30 Apr 2025 09:38:56 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Features]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bharattrending.com/neha-kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Neha-Kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Neha-Kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos-3.jpg 1200w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Neha-Kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Neha-Kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Neha-Kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos-3-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>Indian playback singer Neha Kakkar is facing controversy after Australian event organisers accused her of refusing to perform at a Melbourne concert attended by 700 people, resulting in a three-hour delay.

The incident occurred during her recent Australia tour, where she had two back-to-back shows – one in Sydney, which reportedly went smoothly with 1,500 to 2,000 attendees, and the contentious Melbourne event that drew a smaller crowd.</p><p><strong>Organisers’ version of events</strong></p><p>Australian event organisers Pace D and Bikram Singh Randhawa, who were involved with the Melbourne show, allege that Kakkar declined to take the stage upon seeing the modest audience size, insisting she would not perform unless the venue was filled. They claim this refusal led to a significant delay, with the singer eventually appearing on stage three hours after the scheduled start time. Many fans, who had paid up to 300 AUD for tickets, expressed their frustration and disappointment, reportedly booing Kakkar when she finally performed for less than an hour.</p><p><strong>Dispute over payment and arrangements</strong></p><p>Kakkar publicly stated that she was not paid for the Melbourne concert and that her team was denied basic necessities such as accommodation, food, and water. However, the organisers have strongly denied these allegations, asserting that she was paid in full before arriving in Australia, which they say is standard practice for such events. They also maintain that hotel and travel arrangements were made for Kakkar and her team, and that all technical requirements for the show were met, pointing out that opening acts performed without issue.</p><p>Organisers further contend that they, not Kakkar, suffered financially due to the low turnout, claiming a loss of approximately 500,000 AUD. They have described Kakkar’s public statements as misleading and have challenged her version of events, stating that all necessary arrangements were in place.</p><p><strong>Kakkar’s response</strong></p><p>In response to the backlash, Kakkar posted a video on social media in which she broke down and apologised to fans for the delay. She reiterated her claims about the organisers’ mismanagement and lack of payment, expressing that she and her team performed despite difficult circumstances out of respect for her fans.</p><p>The dispute has sparked widespread debate online, with both parties standing by their respective accounts of the Melbourne concert fiasco.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com/features/neha-kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos/">Neha Kakkar accused of lying about payment and causing concert chaos</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bharattrending.com">Bharat Trending</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bharattrending.com/features/neha-kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Akshay Kumar reacts to Priyadarshan’s offer to direct ‘Hera Pheri 3’</title> <link>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/akshay-kumar-reacts-to-priyadarshans-offer-to-direct-hera-pheri-3/</link> <comments>https://bharattrending.com/in-vogue/akshay-kumar-reacts-to-priyadarshans-offer-to-direct-hera-pheri-3/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Bollywood Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 11 Feb 2025 21:39:34 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[In Vogue]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bharattrending.com/akshay-kumar-reacts-to-priyadarshans-offer-to-direct-hera-pheri-3</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Akshay-Kumar-reacts-to-Priyadarshans-offer-to-direct-Hera-Pheri-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Akshay-Kumar-reacts-to-Priyadarshans-offer-to-direct-Hera-Pheri-3.jpg 1200w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Akshay-Kumar-reacts-to-Priyadarshans-offer-to-direct-Hera-Pheri-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Akshay-Kumar-reacts-to-Priyadarshans-offer-to-direct-Hera-Pheri-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bharattrending.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Akshay-Kumar-reacts-to-Priyadarshans-offer-to-direct-Hera-Pheri-3-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>Priyadarshan has announced that he is willing to direct ‘Hera Pheri 3’, with Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal starring in the film.
