New FBI Director Kash Patel's Family Has Roots In This Gujarat Village

Indian-American Kash Patel, confirmed by the US Senate to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), traces his roots to Bhadran village in Gujarat's Anand district, from where his family migrated to Uganda 70 to 80 years ago, members of the community he belongs to said on Friday. New York-born Patel (44), who belongs to the Patidar community, has become the first Indian-American to lead the premier law enforcement agency of the United States. Leaders of the Patidar community said all close family members of Mr Patel are settled in foreign countries. They sold their ancestral houses in Bhadran once they shifted to Africa. Chh Gam Patidar Mandal, an organisation of the community based in Anand, maintains a `vanshavali' (family tree) of its members. "In the 'vanshavali' we have names of Kash Patel's father Pramod Patel and also his brothers and grandfather," said secretary of the organisation and Anand district BJP present Rajesh Patel.

Bathukamma: Salman Khan Impresses Pooja Hegde In Veshti-Mundu

The makers of Salman Khan's upcoming release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan have added another song to the already impressive lineup of tracks. However, this new song is markedly different from other numbers in the album and in fact, most other Bollywood tracks. This is because Bathukamma is predominantly sung in Telugu and, as the name suggests, revolves around the colourful festival celebrated in Telangana and parts of Andhra Pradesh. The song begins with Pooja Hegde, Bhumika Chawla, and Venkatesh Daggubati celebrating the festival by decorating their home with flowers and creating the Bathukamma – a sacred flower stack - with the women dancing around it. Well into the song, Salman Khan and other members of the cast including Shehnaaz Gill and Palak Tiwari, make an entrance.

Salman Khan and his family walk in wearing traditional ensembles with the superstar looking dapper in a mundu, veshti, and kurta. Needless to say, Pooja Hegde is seen looking impressed with the actor's new avatar.

The catchy number has been composed by Ravi Basrur. While the Telugu lyrics are written by Kinnal Raj and Harini Ivaturi, the Hindi lyrics are by Shabbir Ahmed and Ravi Basrur. The lead vocals are by Chunchi Nagavva, Santhosh Venky, Aira Udupi, Harini Ivaturi, Suchetha Basrur, and Vijayalaxmi Mettinahole.

Previously, Pooja Hegde and Salman Khan matched steps in the romantic number Jee Rahe The Hum (Falling in Love). It has been sung by Salman Khan and composed by Amaal Mallik with lyrics by Shabbir Ahmed.

The upcoming film, previously titled Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali and directed by Farhad Samji, has been renamed Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. It is being produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and features a star-studded cast including Venkatesh, Shehnaaz Gill, Bhumika Chawla, Raghav Juyal, Siddharth Nigam, and Palak Tiwari. The movie is set to release on 21 April 2023.

Salman Khan's latest appearance on the big screen was a cameo role in Pathaan headlined by Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone.

Exclusive: How Air India Express Pilots Handled Mid-Air Scare Over Trichy

A report of hydraulic failure from a Tiruchirappalli-Sharjah Air India Express flight and its subsequent holding pattern for over two hours may have caused panic on the ground, but things were always under control inside the cockpit, senior sources from the airline have told NDTV.  Flight AXB 613 took off from Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu at 5.40 pm on Friday and landed at the same airport around 8.15 pm.  Here's what happened in the interim: The sources said that after the plane, a Boeing 737-800, was airborne, the landing gear was retracted normally.  When the landing gear, or undercarriage, was stowed successfully, the cockpit master caution, which indicates a system malfunction, sounded. Sensors detected that oil had drained out of the hydraulic system which controls the undercarriage.  The aircraft flew normally in all other respects, the sources said, adding that the 737-800 has redundancies built into the hydraulic system to deal with such situations....
