Mumbai: Sony SAB’s Itti Si Khushi is winning viewers’ hearts with a compelling storyline. Rajat Verma who essays the role of Virat Verma, has recently undergone a significant style transformation that adds a fresh layer of depth to his character on screen. While he initially appeared as a carefree, cool young guy in easy-going casuals, his look has now transitioned into something far more mature and inherently “manly.” As the character grows through experiences and responsibilities, Virat’s styling has evolved too. Clean cuts, softer tones, and neatly put-together outfits now…

January 16, 2026January 16, 2026 Arijit Bose

Mumbai: When the results of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections were declared on January 16, 2026, the headlines were dominated by the sweeping victory of the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance. Yet, beneath the larger narrative of power consolidation and the end of Thackeray-era dominance, another story quietly but decisively unfolded — the arrival of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) as a consequential force in Mumbai’s civic politics. For a party that until a decade ago had little footprint beyond Hyderabad and a few pockets of Maharashtra, AIMIM’s performance in…

Why the Thackeray Cousins’ Comeback Failed in Mumbai

January 16, 2026 Arijit Bose

Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections of January 2026 delivered a verdict that was as politically symbolic as it was strategically decisive. Despite the much-publicised reunion of cousins Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray after nearly two decades of estrangement, Mumbai’s civic electorate chose continuity in governance over nostalgia in politics. The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance — comprising the Bharatiya Janata Party and Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena — secured a comfortable majority in India’s richest municipal body, effectively ending nearly three decades of Shiv Sena and Thackeray family dominance over the…

Seven Principles for Political Revival in India

January 15, 2026 Arijit Bose

By Dr Atul Malikram, Political Strategist Lucknow: In Indian democracy, no defeat is ever final. The electorate does not permanently reject a political party; instead, it periodically holds up a mirror. History shows that parties willing to look honestly into that mirror are the ones that return to the pinnacle of power. From the Congress comeback in 1980, to the Trinamool Congress dismantling the Left fortress in West Bengal, and the Aam Aadmi Party’s resurgence in Delhi—each narrative reinforces one truth: electoral defeat is, in itself, an opportunity. An electoral…
