Veteran Bollywood actor Prem Chopra has been admitted to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital after contracting a viral infection, with his medical team indicating that he should recover in a matter of days. The 92-year-old actor was admitted on Monday, and the hospital confirmed that his condition is currently stable. According to cardiologist Nitin Gokhale, the actor’s hospitalization stemmed from a viral infection coupled with age-related complications, prompting intervention on his lungs while he remains under observation in the ward, not the ICU. “He is a known case of cardiac ailment and he also had a viral infection, and that’s why I’m treating him for the lungs. He is not in the ICU; he is in the ward,” stated Dr Jalil Parkar from Lilavati Hospital. Further, Dr Parkar remarked on the actor’s recovery timeline: “He is 92 years old and he has age-related issues because of which his recovery takes a little time. He should be fine in another three-four days and go home.” Family members have responded to the news. Actor Sharman Joshi, who is married to Prem Chopra’s daughter Prerana, reassured fans: “All good, thank you, just some tests, back tomorrow.”Prem Chopra’s illustrious career spans over six decades and more than 380 films, many of which cemented his reputation as one of Hindi cinema’s most iconic villains. Notable titles include Woh Kaun Thi? (1964), Upkaar (1967), Kati Patang (1970), Bobby (1973), and Trishul (1978). While the veteran actor’s hospital stay has sparked concern among his fans, the medical update brings a sense of relief: he is in a ward setting, responding to treatment, and expected to resume normal health soon.

Wish you had a portable battery for your laptop that holds enough charge for long-haul flights? Or maybe you just want one that’s large enough that you don’t have to be recharging it all the time? Then you might want to get this high-speed Anker laptop power bank that’s 32% off on Amazon right now. Normally available for $134. 99, it’s now snaggable for just $91. 99-close to its all-time best price. View this Amazon deal This Anker portable battery has a chunky 25, 000mAh capacity, which is enough to recharge most laptops about two times over (or if you use it with your phone, then about five times over). That’s more than enough for long international flights, yet small enough to be within TSA regulations for power bank size. But that’s not even the best part! What I love most about this particular power bank is that it has two built-in cables: one is retractable up to 2. 3 feet in length, the other is shorter at 1 foot but loops back on itself to form a carrying strap, and both are high-speed USB-C. It also has USB-C and USB-A ports, which you can use with separate cables. That means you can charge up to four devices at once with this, or use any single USB-C for 100W of fast-charging bliss. This is one of the best power banks for laptops available right now, and this deal brings it down to a much better value. Over 9, 000 people have bought one in the past month-for good reason! This 4-port fast-charging laptop power bank is now extra affordableBuy now on Amazon.
According to an FIR registered at the Worli police station, Advocate Shabnam Mohammad Hussain Syed discovered a series of fake articles and videos in June 2025 that falsely associated Neha Kakkar with an investment outfit called FXOnet. The scammers portrayed the platform as “trusted and legal,” using Kakkar’s image to lend credibility. Syed, a resident of BDD Chawl in Worli, was lured by these fraudulent promotions and engaged with the alleged perpetrators, who went by the names Vijay and later Jimmy D’Souza. Communication was maintained through international numbers, the Telegram messaging app (user ID: @fxonetlbot), and Zoom meetings, giving the operation a veneer of authenticity. The accused provided investment “tips” and guided Syed through opening an FXOnet trading account. Between June 18 and October 9, 2025, Syed transferred Rs 5, 02, 025 through UPI to various bank accounts linked to entities, including Rajesh Kannan, VPI ProMedia Kigali, India Impex Trading Company, and VPI 361 VPECOM. When Syed failed to receive any promised returns or refunds, she realised she had been deceived and filed a police complaint. Mumbai Police have booked the accused under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act (IT Act). Investigators are collecting digital evidence, including Telegram chats, Zoom call details, and transaction records, to trace the culprits. This is not the first time fraudsters have exploited celebrity identities in financial scams. Earlier, Mumbai Police registered another complaint involving a scammer impersonating Hollywood star Keanu Reeves to cheat a 69-year-old woman out of Rs 65, 000.

Eyewear giant Lenskart Solutions Ltd recently closed its much-anticipated Rs 7, 278 crores initial public offering (IPO) on November 4, 2025, attracting massive investor interest with subscription rates soaring to over 28 times. The IPO price band was fixed between Rs 382 and Rs 402 per share, valuing the company near Rs 70, 000 crores at the upper end. Lenskart’s IPO comprised a fresh issue worth Rs 2, 150 crores and an offer for sale (OFS) of about Rs 5, 128 crores by its promoters and early investors including SoftBank Vision Fund II, Schroders Capital, and Temasek. Lenskart, founded in 2008 by Peyush Bansal and Amit Chaudhary, today operates over 2, 700 stores across India and international markets. The company reported revenues of Rs 6, 652 crores for FY25 and is India’s largest organized eyewear retailer by volume. Proceeds from the IPO will fund expansion of company-operated stores, technology investments, marketing campaigns, and other corporate purposes. In the midst of the huge IPO frenzy, Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan brought financial literacy to the forefront. Sharing a concise yet insightful video on social media, she urged followers to understand the IPO fully before investing, pointing out that it is “expensive compared to the current profits.” Soha said, “If you believe in the brand long term, then great. But if you’re hoping to get rich by next Friday, then maybe have another think.”She simplified the concept of an IPO for her fans, explaining it as the first time a private company offers shares to the public: “It’s saying, ‘Hey, now you can own a tiny piece of our company.’” Soha’s message resonated widely at a time when a high valuation and massive retail appetite combined to create a sell-out IPO event. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Soha (@sakpataudi) The allotment for the IPO will be announced on November 6, with shares slated for listing on BSE and NSE from November 10, 2025. Despite some valuation concerns from analysts, the IPO has been praised for its strong investor confidence, especially from qualified institutional buyers who subscribed 40 times their quota.
