US Company Fires 200 In 'Donation Scam' Related To Telugu Organisations

US federal mortgage giant Fannie Mae has laid off about 700 employees, including Telugu workers, over the two days. About 200, a majority of them Telugu, were fired on "ethical grounds", The Times Of India reported, citing sources. The terminations are linked to the irregularities and misuse of the company's "matching grants program", a scheme designed to support charitable donations, according to the English daily. Some employees were allegedly hand-in-glove with non-profit organisations, such as the Telugu Association of North America (TANA), and misused company funds. TANA is at the centre of the controversy, with one laid-off employee holding a regional vice president position in the organisation and another the spouse of a former president of the American Telugu Association (ATA), the report said.  This controversy follows a similar scandal at Apple in January 2025, where over 100 employees were fired for misusing its "Matching Gifts Programme....

The Archies Song Dishoom Dishoom: Suhana-Khushi Want to Teach Agastya A Lesson

Just five days after releasing In Raahon Mein, the makers of The Archies have unveiled yet another peppy track from the project—Dishoom Dishoom. The song is a roller-skating extravaganza. After Sunoh, Va Va Voom and In Raahon Mein, Dishoom Dishoom is the fourth track to be released from the upcoming film. The Archies director Zoya Akhtar on Sunday dropped a collage video of Dishoom Dishoom on Instagram. Loaded with elegance and grace, Dishoom Dishoom is led by Suhana Khan, Dot and Khushi Kapoor. The song shows Suhana, Dot and Khushi warning the boys, albeit in a fun way, that they mean serious business. It concludes with them warning Archie Andrews [Agastya Nanda]: “He better watch his back alright”. Sharing the clip, Zoya Akhtar wrote, “Get your red lips on. Dishoom Dishoom out now.”

Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor also shared the collage video of Dishoom Dishoom on their Instagram timeline with the same text. Dishoom Dishoom has been composed by musical trio Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Norani and Loy Mendonsa. The lyrics have been written by Javed Akhtar while the track has been sung by Dot and Kelly Dlima.

Check out the video of Dishoom Dishoom here:

Dishoom Dishoom came after Arjiti Singh's song In Raahon Mein. While the makers haven't released the music video of In Raahon Mein, the track was unveiled with just a poster of the film. Arijit Singh also crooned the track during one of his recent live shows.  Zoya Akhtar also shared a glimpse of Arijit Singh crooning the song live on stage, in front of hundreds of audiences. Sharing the video, Zoya Akhtar wrote, “Arijit Singh In Raahon Mein! Song live now!”

Meanwhile, on Saturday, the makers hosted a grand music launch event in Mumbai. During the launch, the cast of The Archies including Dot, Mihir Ahuja, Vedang Raina, Yuvraj Menda, Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda and Khushi Kapoor were seen putting on their dancing shoes and grooving in style to their film song Va Va Voom.

The music video of Va Va Voom features a giant carnival of sorts, featuring Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Dot, Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Vedang Raina and Yuvraj Menda dancing their hearts out. It opens with Archie Andrews [Agastya] singing on the stage, while Betty [Khushi], Veronica [Suhana] and the team take the dance floor. With fine dancing steps and peppy beats Va Va Voom is yet another party track from the film. The track has been composed by Shankar, Ehsaan, and Loy, and written by Javed Akhtar. It has been sung by Tejas. Check out the track Va Va Voom from The Archies here:

The Archies is a Hindi cinematic adaptation of The Archie comics. In addition to being helmed by Zoya Akhtar, the film is backed by Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti and Sharad Devarajan of Tiger Baby and Graphic India. The project will premiere on streaming giant Netflix on December 7.

"I Felt Bad That My First Throw...": Neeraj Opens Up On Asiad Controversy

Neeraj Chopra clinched the gold medal in men's javelin event at Asian Games 2023 with a season-best throw of 88.88m but the win was not without controversies. The very first attempt by the reigning world champion was a massive one and it looked that throw easily breached the 85m-mark. However, the organisers were not able to measure it due to a technical glitch and as a result, Neeraj had to take the throw once again.
