From “No” to Global Go: How a Rejected Short Film Becomes the Launchpad for India’s First AI Voice-Cloning OTT Platform

Software developer-turned-filmmaker Sahil Dhamija couldn’t secure an OTT slot for his debut short film, he identified some real gaps between entertainment and technology especially, a time-consuming dubbing. The setback catalysed Rochak, an AI-powered platform that now turns any film into fifteen-plus languages within hours and streams the actor’s own voice worldwide.

Sahil Dhamija’s first taste of filmmaking was intoxicating—until distribution realities crashed the party. Shot on a shoestring and titled Public Place, the short wrapped in May 2024 and was promptly rejected by every OTT service he approached. Feedback was polite yet fatal: production value “too niche,” dubbing budget “too high,” audience “too limited.” By Independence Day the film was on YouTube, garnering views but yielding little revenue.

Rather than quitting, Dhamija dissected the bottleneck. Dubbing, he discovered, soaks up to 20 percent of a mid-budget film’s cost and adds six weeks to release calendars. Worse, audiences often hate the substituted voices. The answer wasn’t bigger budgets; it was better technology.

Enter Rochak. Over the next twelve months Dhamija and co-founder Bijay Rawat trained neural networks to capture an actor’s vocal fingerprint—pitch arcs, breath gaps, emotional subtlety—and re-synthesise that performance in multiple languages. The result became Rochak Voice Engine, capable of cloning dialogue tracks for a full feature film in under six hours.

Validation came quickly. The platform’s inaugural release, MILF, debuted in Hindi, English, Arabic, and Tamil. Analytics lit up: 73 percent of viewers chose a dubbed track, average watch-time surged 33 percent, and subtitle use dwindled. Clearly, audiences crave linguistic comfort as long as emotional authenticity stays intact.

The roadmap is equally bold. An Android app drops this month-end with offline downloads, 4K casting, and swipe-based language switching. iOS follows next month; smart-TV apps for Android TV, Fire TV, and webOS are already in QA. Beyond that, Rochak is engineering a lip-sync module that visually aligns mouth movements to each dubbed language, plus a Creator Console where filmmakers can upload masters, select target tongues, and receive ready-to-stream files—all on subscription economics.

By 2027 the platform targets 35 languages, real-time dubbing for live events, and an “opening weekend, everywhere” reality for storytellers. Rochak’s journey from rejection to reinvention proves that sometimes the fastest route to success begins with a very public “no.”

शाही ईदगाह मामले में हिंदू पक्ष को झटका, हाईकोर्ट ने खारिज विवादित ढांचा घोषित करने की मांग वाली याचिका

#allahabad_high_court_order_on_declaring_shahi_idgah_as_a_disputed_structure

मथुरा श्रीकृष्ण जन्मभूमि और शाही ईदगाह मस्जिद विवाद में इलाहाबाद हाईकोर्ट से हिंदू पक्ष को बड़ा झटका दिया है। मथुरा स्थित श्रीकृष्ण जन्मभूमि और शाही ईदगाह मामले में शुक्रवार को इलाहाबाद हाईकोर्ट में सुनवाई हुई। दोनों पक्षों की दलील सुनने के बाद हाईकोर्ट ने कृष्ण जन्मभूमि शाही ईदगाह से जुड़ी संपत्ति को विवादित घोषित करने से इनकार कर दिया।

पिछली सुनवाई पर बहस पूरी होने पर हाईकोर्ट ने फैसला रिजर्व कर लिया था। साथ ही निर्णय के लिए चार जुलाई की तारीख नियत की थी। जस्टिस राम मनोहर नारायण मिश्र की सिंगल बेंच ने यह फैसला सुनाया। न्यायमूर्ति राम मनोहर नारायण मिश्रा की अदालत ने वादी महेंद्र प्रताप सिंह की ओर से दाखिल अर्जी खारिज कर दी।

हिंदू पक्ष के सूट नंबर 13 में वादी अधिवक्ता महेंद्र प्रताप सिंह ने यह अर्जी दाखिल की थी। उन्होंने मासरे आलम गिरी से लेकर मथुरा के कलेक्टर रहे एफ एस ग्राउस तक के समय की लिखी पुस्तकों का अदालत में हवाला दिया था। सूट नंबर 13 के वादी द्वारा आवेदन A-44 प्रस्तुत किया गया था, जिसमें संबंधित स्टेनोग्राफर को इस मूल मुकदमे की संपूर्ण आगे की कार्रवाई में शाही ईदगाह मस्जिद के स्थान पर “विवादित ढांचा” शब्द का उपयोग करने का निर्देश देने का अनुरोध किया गया था। हालांकि मुस्लिम पक्ष द्वारा इस आवेदन पर लिखित आपत्ति दायर की गई थी।

साथ ही दावा किया था कि मथुरा की शाही मस्जिद भी श्रीकृष्ण जन्मभूमि के मूल गर्भगृह को तोड़कर ही बनाई गई है। हालांकि हिंदू पक्ष की इस मांग पर मुस्लिम पक्ष ने विरोध जताया था। साथ ही कोर्ट में लिखित आपत्ति भी दाखिल की थी। दोनों पक्षों को सुनने के बाद न्यायमूर्ति राम मनोहर नारायण मिश्र की कोर्ट ने शाही ईदगाह को विवादित ढांचा घोषित करने वाली याचिका पर फैसला सुरक्षित रख लिया था।

New Skincare Breakthrough: Bake Cosmetics’ 2% Salicylic Acid Soap Becomes a Cult Favorite for Acne Relief

In a world flooded with skincare solutions, one product is making unexpected waves on social media and skincare blogs alike — Bake Cosmetics' 2% Salicylic Acid Soap, now offered in a convenient pack of two. From dermatologists to TikTok influencers, this no-frills acne-fighting bar has become a surprise favorite among consumers seeking fast, affordable relief from breakouts.

A Simple Bar With a Powerful Punch

What sets this soap apart? Its active ingredient: 2% salicylic acid, a dermatologist-recommended beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that unclogs pores, reduces inflammation, and gently exfoliates the skin. Unlike harsh acne cleansers that strip the skin’s moisture barrier, Bake’s formulation balances effectiveness with skin-friendly ingredients — making it suitable for oily, acne-prone, and even combination skin types.

"People are shocked at how quickly they see results," says Anjali Mehra, a skincare content creator who featured the soap in her recent “Summer Acne Solutions” roundup on Instagram. "It’s affordable, it’s clean, and it works. What more could you ask for?"

Backed by a Loyal Following

Since its launch, the soap has earned praise from beauty influencers and everyday users alike. On Reddit’s r/SkincareAddiction, users have dubbed it a “hidden gem,” with dozens claiming it reduced hormonal acne and blackheads within days of use.

Online reviews highlight key benefits:

  • Fewer breakouts and visibly smaller pores
  • Reduced redness and irritation over time
  • Gentle enough for daily use — even on the body

Clean Beauty, Clear Skin

True to Bake Cosmetics' mission, the soap is cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and free from sulfates and parabens — aligning with the growing demand for minimalist, ethical skincare.

“Our customers want simple, effective products they can trust,” says Neha Bakshi, founder of Bake Cosmetics. “This soap was designed to be powerful yet gentle. It’s for real people with real skin issues.”

A Must-Have for Summer 2025

With the arrival of hot, humid weather — a prime time for breakouts — the 2% Salicylic Acid Soap is quickly becoming a seasonal must-have. Whether used on the face, chest, or back, it's an easy addition to any skincare routine.

For those who battle body acne or maskne, the soap’s gentle lather offers a convenient, mess-free alternative to expensive serums or harsh scrubs.

*The Hidden Price of Convenience: How Quick Meals Are Quietly Raising Your Blood Pressure*

Health

Dr Satrajit Samanta , Consultant, Interventional Cardiologist, Narayana Hospital, Barasat.

In today’s busy world, convenience foods have become a trusted ally. Ready-to-eat meals,

frozen dinners, packaged snacks, and fast-food options are designed to fit into our fast-paced lives. But behind their appeal lies a hidden threat, excessive sodium, which is a major driver of

hypertension, or high blood pressure. Hypertension is often called the ‘silent killer’ because it can develop without warning signs, quietly

damaging the heart, brain and kidneys. What many people do not realise is the extent to which convenience foods contribute to this growing health issue.Manufacturers pack processed foods with large amounts of sodium to enhance flavour, preserve freshness and extend shelf life. While salt makes these foods taste good and seem

more satisfying, it comes at a serious cost to our health. More than 70 per cent of the sodium.we consume is not from the salt we sprinkle on our meals, it is already hidden inside the foods we buy. This means even those who think they are eating ‘normally’ may unknowingly consume

two or three times above the recommended daily limit of sodium, setting the stage for high blood pressure to develop.

How Sodium Quietly Raises Blood Pressure Excessive sodium intake causes the body to retain water, which increases the volume of blood flowing through blood vessels. This added volume puts extra strain on the heart and arteries, forcing them to work harder and harder. Over time, the walls of the blood vessels stiffen and narrow, leading to persistently high blood pressure. Left unchecked, hypertension increases the

risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and other serious conditions. What's alarming is that many people may be undermining their health without any clear symptoms, one salty meal

at a time.

Alarmingly, sodium often hides where we least expect it to. Foods like breads, cereals, canned vegetables, deli meats, and even some so-called ‘health foods’ can be packed with sodium, even if they don’t taste particularly salty. This stealthy presence makes it even harder for individuals to gauge how much sodium they are consuming.

Reclaiming Control Over Your Plate.The good news is that small, conscious changes can have a powerful impact on our health.

Choosing fresh fruits, vegetables, and minimally processed foods over packaged meals helps

limit sodium intake naturally. Cooking meals at home whenever possible gives you full control over what goes into your food. Learning to read nutrition labels can open your eyes to hidden sodium content, while using herbs, spices, lemon, or vinegar can bring out natural flavours.

without relying on salt. Even when dining out, small choices, like asking for dressings and

sauces on the side or opting for grilled instead of fried items, can make a big difference.

Hypertension does not develop overnight. It is the result of years of small, repeated exposure to

excess sodium and other lifestyle risks. But just as it builds gradually, it can also be prevented, or even reversed, through steady, mindful changes. Convenience has its place in modern life, but it should not come at the cost of our long-term health. By making informed choices today,

you can protect your blood pressure and your heart for years to come.

Convenience foods offer short-term ease, but when it comes to your health, they may carry a hidden, long-term cost. Choosing fresh, wholesome options more often isn't about sacrificing convenience; it's about valuing your life and your future just as much as your time.

Luxury on Wheels: Rajveer Conquers India with a Caravan & Camera

Rajveer Singh Makes History with Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive: A 10,101 KM in a Luxury Caravan Journey Across India

Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive has emerged as a groundbreaking digital movement and luxury travel sensation, capturing national attention and dominating online media. This historic journey, driven by Rajveer Singh is India’s first and only 10,101 km in a luxury caravan expedition where a solo content creator experienced a staycation at every single property of one hotel group—The LaLiT Group —across the country.

A Journey of Grit, Grandeur, and Glory

Flagged off from The LaLiT Mumbai on April 13, the drive remained true to its planned route even after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22. Rajveer continued his journey with undeterred spirit, visiting The LaLiT Srinagar from May 4 to 6, boldly portraying Kashmir’s beauty and hospitality to the world.

On May 7, while traveling from Kashmir toward Kartarpur, he witnessed Operation Sindoor—a strategic Indian security operation. Just a day later, in Amritsar at 2 AM on May 8, Rajveer experienced a blackout caused by Pakistan’s drone attack, which was neutralized by India's defense systems—proving again that no force could derail this record-breaking journey.

Highways That Shaped the Journey

Best Overall Route: Kerala to Goa – Stunning landscapes, perfect roads, cultural richness.

Most Challenging Route: Goa to Mumbai – Marred by congestion, poor road quality, and delays.

Best Route for Night Travel: Jaipur to Delhi Expressway – Excellent lighting, security, and smooth driving.

Unforgettable Stays at The LaLiT Properties

Rajveer rated these three properties as the most exceptional:

The LaLiT Srinagar – Hospitality that touched the soul, with breathtaking lake views.

The LaLiT Kolkata – A perfect blend of tradition, comfort, and warmth.

The LaLiT Bekal – Immersive serenity, coastal charm, and meticulous service.

Brands That Fueled the Legacy

The campaign was proudly powered by U&I Entertainment and Designistic Global pvt ltd , backed by over 20 esteemed brands, including:

Red Chief, Team Wizard Media, Being You Always, Body Profuse, Krunchillo, French Essence, Andros Food, Bright Outdoor Media, Josh Bharat Media and many more

Designistic Global Media was the post production partner who played a crucial role in transforming the journey into a cinematic experience.

Support from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Kashmir Tourism, and The LaLiT Group as official hospitality partner gave this campaign national strength and significance.

People, Power, and Unprecedented Support

This journey brought together a constellation of influencers and thought leaders:

Creators like Mister Tikku, Dil Se Foodie, Bhookad_Singh and many more joined in city after city.

Entrepreneurs such as Dr. Vishal Kalra, Yukit Vora, Harmeet Singh Gupta, and MasterChef Ishijyot Surri rallied behind the initiative.

In Udaipur, Rajveer had the honor of meeting Maharaja Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, adding royal recognition to this prestigious tour.

Numbers That Speak Volumes

10,101 km covered, 12 luxury stays at The LaLiT Group, 250+ posts and 1,500+ Instagram stories, 100+ million digital impressions.

A Legacy of Firsts

1st content creator to stay at every property of a hotel group in a single country in less than 33 days

1st to drive 10,101 km accross the country in a luxury caravan

1st to continue with a national drive plan even during a regional terror attack & National War With Pakistan.

---

The Road Ahead

This is not just a story of roads and reels—this is about fearless storytelling, unmatched hospitality, and a new benchmark in luxury content experiences. The road was long, but Rajveer’s vision was longer.

SAMVAAD From ideas to impact: A Tapestry of Expression, Healing, and Mental Resilience Unfolds at IIC New Delhi

 

New Delhi | June 14, 2025 In a compelling evening of dialogue, reflection, and healing, SAMVAAD: From Ideas to Impact returned with its second edition at India International Centre, New Delhi, carrying forward its powerful mission “Mental Health Matters: Navigating Emotions in a Fast-Moving World.”

Organized by Ewisdomsphere, and led by curator Saumya D Tewari, this SAMVAAD edition created a sanctuary for meaningful, stigma-free conversations around emotional burnout, trauma, grief, mental well-being and cybersecurity in the modern Indian context.

Reflections That Stirred the Soul- Sustainability 

The evening opened with a heartfelt invocation by Poonam Rajput, upcycling artist and sustainable art coach, she said “When we upcycle, cloth passed down through generations, we’re not just saving material—we’re safeguarding memories,” urging people to “upcycle their emotions too.”

Mohit Vashistha, Transformation and Life Coach, delivered the keynote address at SAMVAAD, leaving a deep impact on the audience. He illuminated the power of overcoming limiting beliefs, using SWOT analysis for personal growth, and reminded everyone that the ultimate goal of life is happiness—not achievement, but alignment with inner peace.

An insightful student-led video presentation by Aparna and Amritha, Research students from IIPR, Bangalore, titled “Good Intentions, Bad Logic: Why We Avoid Therapy,” captivated the audience. The duo unpacked how our daily thought errors and mental shortcuts—often done with the best intentions—end up delaying much-needed emotional care. 

Mansi Gupta, Life Coach (Industry- Emerson) grounded the audience in empathy and leadership, remarking, “Even leaders are human. Don’t just ask ‘How are you?’—ask ‘How do you feel today?’”

Dr. Suchitra Prasad, Happiness Coach & NLP expert, echoed that self-care is not selfishness, especially for women, and introduced tools like ‘disassociation’ and ‘shake-off’ to reframe overwhelming emotions. 

Jatin Sharma, legal expert, emphasized: “Make law your friend. Stop fearing mental health as a social stigma—the road is long, but healing through the system is possible.” 

Prof. Dinesh C. Sharma discussed how bio-musicology could revolutionize India’s public health frameworks. “Sound is medicine,” he stated. Dr. Priya Bhatnagar highlighted that emotional shutdown among leadership is rampant—often going unnoticed until burnout strikes.

On the expressive arts front, Simmi Kapoor explained how slow hand movements in embroidery and dance help people meet their own emotions “a rarity in today’s fast-paced world.”

Praveen Tiwari, master of hand-woven textiles, touched hearts with his simple truth: “Weaving fabric weaves peace.” His students, he shared, find joy and placement—not just in industry, but in life.

Dr. Shambhavi Das, music therapist, introduced the idea of music as a ‘safe inner space’, particularly for those resisting traditional therapy.

Voices from the community also resonated powerfully. Rajat and Radhika from Bezubaan Saathi Animal Trust shared how caring for distressed animals helps people reduce anxiety, fear, and isolation. Roopal Mishra’s legal research exposed how emotionally shut-down states often precede criminal behaviour—including among judges and legal professionals themselves. 

Aparna Jha, a student from DU, delivered a moving personal narrative on surviving anxiety and stigma: “Mental illness is not a choice. Seeking help is.”

Reflections that need our attention- Cybersecurity 

Bluewater IT Solutions, SAMVAAD’s official IT Channel Partner, emphasized how securing one’s digital space is integral to mental peace. Mr. Dheeraj Tewari, cybersecurity expert, represented Bluewater and said, “Your digital space is your mental space. Cybersecurity is self-care,” while announcing two key initiatives:

CYBER Connect – a support platform to combat cyber threats, through training programs

BW Tech Talks – an upcoming awareness portal that will simplify cyber knowledge for the common user, by industry leaders.

The session was further enriched by insights from Furious Warrior (OT Security), a valued training partner of SAMVAAD. Ms. Rachna Sharma, founder, shared a compelling message:

“Cybersecurity is not just about systems. It’s about safeguarding minds, families, and futures. In an era where phishing, impersonation, and online fraud are daily threats, cyber-awareness is emotional armour.”

The collaboration was a significant bridge between mental and digital health. With cyber fraud becoming a silent mental health crisis, the event was captivated by, Mr. Aseem as he said, “At NS3 Edu, we’re proud to support SAMVAAD’s vision—bridging technology, cybersecurity, and emotional well-being through integrated IT, AI, and OT solutions that empower safer, smarter communities.” As they deliver solutions in IT networking design, Threat intelligence tools for law enforcement, Multi -sector tech & business consulting.

The event was seamlessly covered by Manthan Rajput, SAMVAAD’s official production partner, whose creative lens and storytelling brought every moment of the confluence to life.

Abhinav Mishra from WARME Foundation shared holistic wellness tools like music, movement, and mindful conversations. The VOYCE initiative, through founder Anika Singh, shared powerful WHO-backed mental health videos, affirming that spreading awareness is the need of the hour to build a more emotionally informed society. 

Fitness Coach Siddharth, brought attention to the often-overlooked connection between physical fitness and mental well-being, stating that “a strong body nurtures a strong mind.” 

SAMVAAD also acknowledged the chief guest Dr. Debabrata Biswas, Founder of Mala Smriti Home, for turning his mother’s dream into a living legacy—an orphanage in Noida that offers not just shelter, but love, dignity, and hope. Having worked silently for over a decade, his service reminds that creating peace for others is the highest form of mental strength.

Hosted gracefully by Saumya Tewari, the evening concluded with a collective promise: “This is not just an event—it’s a movement. And we’re just getting started.”

India’s Premium Pleasure Products Brand ‘Freaky Fun’ Sees Rapid Growth Across E-Commerce Market

The new-age brands are coming up to the challenge to fulfill new-age consumer demands, which is experiencing a silent revolution in India, as the country develops interest in personal wellness and intimate lifestyle products. Freaky Fun has become one of the leading high-performance pleasure product destination sites with its fast-growing popularity among thousands of customers in the country. The overall success of the brand does not lie in its huge variety of goods only, but also in its devotion to the best quality, privacy, and undisrupted service, which is important to the intended modern, metropolitan Indian population of customers.

Having been launched out of New Delhi, Freaky Fun has been gradually finding its niche in a target market that values discreteness of shopping and reliability of products the most. The platform is dedicated to offering high-quality, skin-friendly, and well-designed products with promises to ensure the safety of their products. With that, the platform is a top-notch solution to the lack of options Indian consumers previously had to deal with. Today, the brand site demonstrates an abundant line of offers, so it serves a wide audience of individual preferences and wellness needs.

Of special interest is the ability of Freaky Fun to grow its product range to fit into the contemporary lifestyle. As well as advanced and remote-control-operated toys and innovations that can be used through an application, the brand does not lack one of the features, as well as carefully designed wearable products and massagers designed to relieve discomfort in the body. Some of the trending products that promote the increasing number of customers on the platform include vibrating bead stimulators, inflatable massagers, finer silicone-based personal tools, and sophisticated wearable devices.

In addition to diversity, the brand puts a lot of focus on discretion and trust, which are rather essential aspects in such a market as India, where privacy concerning individual purchases is an essential point. All the products that are ordered under Freaky Fun are mailed in unmarked packages that are very secure, and the online store guarantees a very smooth and discreet shopping experience. The strategy has gained a high level of consumer confidence where over 5,000 customers have already accessed its services and a high number of repeat customers are emerging.

Since personal wellness is a more and more popular subject among India’s young and educated customers, Freaky Fun can easily respond to the growing demand. The change in general opinion can hardly go unnoticed anymore, where things perceived to be taboo several years ago are now a subject of discussion asynchronously as self-care and a transition to a modern lifestyle. Its e-commerce customer experience is smooth, customer care is round the clock, and delivery is fast within the nation. All these have enhanced its attractiveness to the generation of digitally connected people in India.

Freaky Fun, in many ways, shows a change of culture. As Indian customers adopt new concepts about pleasure and personal well-being, brands that focus on safety, quality, and respect for privacy have never had such an opportunity to grow. The story of Freaky Fun confirming its rapid growth in this segment shows that this market could become very profitable, and the key to success is to offer the consumer-first, trustworthy experience.

As its product line expands, its customer base remains loyal, and its profile grows more and more visible, Freaky Fun will soon be one of the leading names in personal wellness online circulation in India, and this is the beginning of a new era of how the nation can handle intimate lifestyle products.

*When Test swap turned into a big hit for Eden Gardens*

Sports

Khabar kolkata sports Desk: India hosting reigning World Test Champions South Africa at the iconic Eden Gardens in the first Test on November 14 will be no less than an exciting and nail-biting match.

With South Africa winning the historic title after beating Australia in the final, the excitement here in Kolkata has already scaled sky-high with the mega match coming up just in five months’ time.

Interestingly, this match between India and South Africa, was originally scheduled to take place in New Delhi on Nov 14 and Eden Gardens was scheduled to host West Indies in the second Test on October 10.

But CAB President Snehasish Ganguly took the initiative to speak to BCCI, persuading the Apex Body of cricket to allow Eden Gardens host India vs South Africa in November.

Eventually, BCCI swapped Kolkata Eden Gardens’ and New Delhi Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium’s allocated Test matches against West Indies and South Africa respectively during India’s upcoming home season.

The Test swap finally turned out to be a mega hit for Eden Gardens with the news of South Africa clinching the World Test Championship.

From “No” to Global Go: How a Rejected Short Film Becomes the Launchpad for India’s First AI Voice-Cloning OTT Platform

Software developer-turned-filmmaker Sahil Dhamija couldn’t secure an OTT slot for his debut short film, he identified some real gaps between entertainment and technology especially, a time-consuming dubbing. The setback catalysed Rochak, an AI-powered platform that now turns any film into fifteen-plus languages within hours and streams the actor’s own voice worldwide.

Sahil Dhamija’s first taste of filmmaking was intoxicating—until distribution realities crashed the party. Shot on a shoestring and titled Public Place, the short wrapped in May 2024 and was promptly rejected by every OTT service he approached. Feedback was polite yet fatal: production value “too niche,” dubbing budget “too high,” audience “too limited.” By Independence Day the film was on YouTube, garnering views but yielding little revenue.

Rather than quitting, Dhamija dissected the bottleneck. Dubbing, he discovered, soaks up to 20 percent of a mid-budget film’s cost and adds six weeks to release calendars. Worse, audiences often hate the substituted voices. The answer wasn’t bigger budgets; it was better technology.

Enter Rochak. Over the next twelve months Dhamija and co-founder Bijay Rawat trained neural networks to capture an actor’s vocal fingerprint—pitch arcs, breath gaps, emotional subtlety—and re-synthesise that performance in multiple languages. The result became Rochak Voice Engine, capable of cloning dialogue tracks for a full feature film in under six hours.

Validation came quickly. The platform’s inaugural release, MILF, debuted in Hindi, English, Arabic, and Tamil. Analytics lit up: 73 percent of viewers chose a dubbed track, average watch-time surged 33 percent, and subtitle use dwindled. Clearly, audiences crave linguistic comfort as long as emotional authenticity stays intact.

The roadmap is equally bold. An Android app drops this month-end with offline downloads, 4K casting, and swipe-based language switching. iOS follows next month; smart-TV apps for Android TV, Fire TV, and webOS are already in QA. Beyond that, Rochak is engineering a lip-sync module that visually aligns mouth movements to each dubbed language, plus a Creator Console where filmmakers can upload masters, select target tongues, and receive ready-to-stream files—all on subscription economics.

By 2027 the platform targets 35 languages, real-time dubbing for live events, and an “opening weekend, everywhere” reality for storytellers. Rochak’s journey from rejection to reinvention proves that sometimes the fastest route to success begins with a very public “no.”

शाही ईदगाह मामले में हिंदू पक्ष को झटका, हाईकोर्ट ने खारिज विवादित ढांचा घोषित करने की मांग वाली याचिका

#allahabad_high_court_order_on_declaring_shahi_idgah_as_a_disputed_structure

मथुरा श्रीकृष्ण जन्मभूमि और शाही ईदगाह मस्जिद विवाद में इलाहाबाद हाईकोर्ट से हिंदू पक्ष को बड़ा झटका दिया है। मथुरा स्थित श्रीकृष्ण जन्मभूमि और शाही ईदगाह मामले में शुक्रवार को इलाहाबाद हाईकोर्ट में सुनवाई हुई। दोनों पक्षों की दलील सुनने के बाद हाईकोर्ट ने कृष्ण जन्मभूमि शाही ईदगाह से जुड़ी संपत्ति को विवादित घोषित करने से इनकार कर दिया।

पिछली सुनवाई पर बहस पूरी होने पर हाईकोर्ट ने फैसला रिजर्व कर लिया था। साथ ही निर्णय के लिए चार जुलाई की तारीख नियत की थी। जस्टिस राम मनोहर नारायण मिश्र की सिंगल बेंच ने यह फैसला सुनाया। न्यायमूर्ति राम मनोहर नारायण मिश्रा की अदालत ने वादी महेंद्र प्रताप सिंह की ओर से दाखिल अर्जी खारिज कर दी।

हिंदू पक्ष के सूट नंबर 13 में वादी अधिवक्ता महेंद्र प्रताप सिंह ने यह अर्जी दाखिल की थी। उन्होंने मासरे आलम गिरी से लेकर मथुरा के कलेक्टर रहे एफ एस ग्राउस तक के समय की लिखी पुस्तकों का अदालत में हवाला दिया था। सूट नंबर 13 के वादी द्वारा आवेदन A-44 प्रस्तुत किया गया था, जिसमें संबंधित स्टेनोग्राफर को इस मूल मुकदमे की संपूर्ण आगे की कार्रवाई में शाही ईदगाह मस्जिद के स्थान पर “विवादित ढांचा” शब्द का उपयोग करने का निर्देश देने का अनुरोध किया गया था। हालांकि मुस्लिम पक्ष द्वारा इस आवेदन पर लिखित आपत्ति दायर की गई थी।

साथ ही दावा किया था कि मथुरा की शाही मस्जिद भी श्रीकृष्ण जन्मभूमि के मूल गर्भगृह को तोड़कर ही बनाई गई है। हालांकि हिंदू पक्ष की इस मांग पर मुस्लिम पक्ष ने विरोध जताया था। साथ ही कोर्ट में लिखित आपत्ति भी दाखिल की थी। दोनों पक्षों को सुनने के बाद न्यायमूर्ति राम मनोहर नारायण मिश्र की कोर्ट ने शाही ईदगाह को विवादित ढांचा घोषित करने वाली याचिका पर फैसला सुरक्षित रख लिया था।

New Skincare Breakthrough: Bake Cosmetics’ 2% Salicylic Acid Soap Becomes a Cult Favorite for Acne Relief

In a world flooded with skincare solutions, one product is making unexpected waves on social media and skincare blogs alike — Bake Cosmetics' 2% Salicylic Acid Soap, now offered in a convenient pack of two. From dermatologists to TikTok influencers, this no-frills acne-fighting bar has become a surprise favorite among consumers seeking fast, affordable relief from breakouts.

A Simple Bar With a Powerful Punch

What sets this soap apart? Its active ingredient: 2% salicylic acid, a dermatologist-recommended beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that unclogs pores, reduces inflammation, and gently exfoliates the skin. Unlike harsh acne cleansers that strip the skin’s moisture barrier, Bake’s formulation balances effectiveness with skin-friendly ingredients — making it suitable for oily, acne-prone, and even combination skin types.

"People are shocked at how quickly they see results," says Anjali Mehra, a skincare content creator who featured the soap in her recent “Summer Acne Solutions” roundup on Instagram. "It’s affordable, it’s clean, and it works. What more could you ask for?"

Backed by a Loyal Following

Since its launch, the soap has earned praise from beauty influencers and everyday users alike. On Reddit’s r/SkincareAddiction, users have dubbed it a “hidden gem,” with dozens claiming it reduced hormonal acne and blackheads within days of use.

Online reviews highlight key benefits:

  • Fewer breakouts and visibly smaller pores
  • Reduced redness and irritation over time
  • Gentle enough for daily use — even on the body

Clean Beauty, Clear Skin

True to Bake Cosmetics' mission, the soap is cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and free from sulfates and parabens — aligning with the growing demand for minimalist, ethical skincare.

“Our customers want simple, effective products they can trust,” says Neha Bakshi, founder of Bake Cosmetics. “This soap was designed to be powerful yet gentle. It’s for real people with real skin issues.”

A Must-Have for Summer 2025

With the arrival of hot, humid weather — a prime time for breakouts — the 2% Salicylic Acid Soap is quickly becoming a seasonal must-have. Whether used on the face, chest, or back, it's an easy addition to any skincare routine.

For those who battle body acne or maskne, the soap’s gentle lather offers a convenient, mess-free alternative to expensive serums or harsh scrubs.

*The Hidden Price of Convenience: How Quick Meals Are Quietly Raising Your Blood Pressure*

Health

Dr Satrajit Samanta , Consultant, Interventional Cardiologist, Narayana Hospital, Barasat.

In today’s busy world, convenience foods have become a trusted ally. Ready-to-eat meals,

frozen dinners, packaged snacks, and fast-food options are designed to fit into our fast-paced lives. But behind their appeal lies a hidden threat, excessive sodium, which is a major driver of

hypertension, or high blood pressure. Hypertension is often called the ‘silent killer’ because it can develop without warning signs, quietly

damaging the heart, brain and kidneys. What many people do not realise is the extent to which convenience foods contribute to this growing health issue.Manufacturers pack processed foods with large amounts of sodium to enhance flavour, preserve freshness and extend shelf life. While salt makes these foods taste good and seem

more satisfying, it comes at a serious cost to our health. More than 70 per cent of the sodium.we consume is not from the salt we sprinkle on our meals, it is already hidden inside the foods we buy. This means even those who think they are eating ‘normally’ may unknowingly consume

two or three times above the recommended daily limit of sodium, setting the stage for high blood pressure to develop.

How Sodium Quietly Raises Blood Pressure Excessive sodium intake causes the body to retain water, which increases the volume of blood flowing through blood vessels. This added volume puts extra strain on the heart and arteries, forcing them to work harder and harder. Over time, the walls of the blood vessels stiffen and narrow, leading to persistently high blood pressure. Left unchecked, hypertension increases the

risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and other serious conditions. What's alarming is that many people may be undermining their health without any clear symptoms, one salty meal

at a time.

Alarmingly, sodium often hides where we least expect it to. Foods like breads, cereals, canned vegetables, deli meats, and even some so-called ‘health foods’ can be packed with sodium, even if they don’t taste particularly salty. This stealthy presence makes it even harder for individuals to gauge how much sodium they are consuming.

Reclaiming Control Over Your Plate.The good news is that small, conscious changes can have a powerful impact on our health.

Choosing fresh fruits, vegetables, and minimally processed foods over packaged meals helps

limit sodium intake naturally. Cooking meals at home whenever possible gives you full control over what goes into your food. Learning to read nutrition labels can open your eyes to hidden sodium content, while using herbs, spices, lemon, or vinegar can bring out natural flavours.

without relying on salt. Even when dining out, small choices, like asking for dressings and

sauces on the side or opting for grilled instead of fried items, can make a big difference.

Hypertension does not develop overnight. It is the result of years of small, repeated exposure to

excess sodium and other lifestyle risks. But just as it builds gradually, it can also be prevented, or even reversed, through steady, mindful changes. Convenience has its place in modern life, but it should not come at the cost of our long-term health. By making informed choices today,

you can protect your blood pressure and your heart for years to come.

Convenience foods offer short-term ease, but when it comes to your health, they may carry a hidden, long-term cost. Choosing fresh, wholesome options more often isn't about sacrificing convenience; it's about valuing your life and your future just as much as your time.

Luxury on Wheels: Rajveer Conquers India with a Caravan & Camera

Rajveer Singh Makes History with Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive: A 10,101 KM in a Luxury Caravan Journey Across India

Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive has emerged as a groundbreaking digital movement and luxury travel sensation, capturing national attention and dominating online media. This historic journey, driven by Rajveer Singh is India’s first and only 10,101 km in a luxury caravan expedition where a solo content creator experienced a staycation at every single property of one hotel group—The LaLiT Group —across the country.

A Journey of Grit, Grandeur, and Glory

Flagged off from The LaLiT Mumbai on April 13, the drive remained true to its planned route even after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22. Rajveer continued his journey with undeterred spirit, visiting The LaLiT Srinagar from May 4 to 6, boldly portraying Kashmir’s beauty and hospitality to the world.

On May 7, while traveling from Kashmir toward Kartarpur, he witnessed Operation Sindoor—a strategic Indian security operation. Just a day later, in Amritsar at 2 AM on May 8, Rajveer experienced a blackout caused by Pakistan’s drone attack, which was neutralized by India's defense systems—proving again that no force could derail this record-breaking journey.

Highways That Shaped the Journey

Best Overall Route: Kerala to Goa – Stunning landscapes, perfect roads, cultural richness.

Most Challenging Route: Goa to Mumbai – Marred by congestion, poor road quality, and delays.

Best Route for Night Travel: Jaipur to Delhi Expressway – Excellent lighting, security, and smooth driving.

Unforgettable Stays at The LaLiT Properties

Rajveer rated these three properties as the most exceptional:

The LaLiT Srinagar – Hospitality that touched the soul, with breathtaking lake views.

The LaLiT Kolkata – A perfect blend of tradition, comfort, and warmth.

The LaLiT Bekal – Immersive serenity, coastal charm, and meticulous service.

Brands That Fueled the Legacy

The campaign was proudly powered by U&I Entertainment and Designistic Global pvt ltd , backed by over 20 esteemed brands, including:

Red Chief, Team Wizard Media, Being You Always, Body Profuse, Krunchillo, French Essence, Andros Food, Bright Outdoor Media, Josh Bharat Media and many more

Designistic Global Media was the post production partner who played a crucial role in transforming the journey into a cinematic experience.

Support from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Kashmir Tourism, and The LaLiT Group as official hospitality partner gave this campaign national strength and significance.

People, Power, and Unprecedented Support

This journey brought together a constellation of influencers and thought leaders:

Creators like Mister Tikku, Dil Se Foodie, Bhookad_Singh and many more joined in city after city.

Entrepreneurs such as Dr. Vishal Kalra, Yukit Vora, Harmeet Singh Gupta, and MasterChef Ishijyot Surri rallied behind the initiative.

In Udaipur, Rajveer had the honor of meeting Maharaja Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, adding royal recognition to this prestigious tour.

Numbers That Speak Volumes

10,101 km covered, 12 luxury stays at The LaLiT Group, 250+ posts and 1,500+ Instagram stories, 100+ million digital impressions.

A Legacy of Firsts

1st content creator to stay at every property of a hotel group in a single country in less than 33 days

1st to drive 10,101 km accross the country in a luxury caravan

1st to continue with a national drive plan even during a regional terror attack & National War With Pakistan.

---

The Road Ahead

This is not just a story of roads and reels—this is about fearless storytelling, unmatched hospitality, and a new benchmark in luxury content experiences. The road was long, but Rajveer’s vision was longer.

India’s Premium Pleasure Products Brand ‘Freaky Fun’ Sees Rapid Growth Across E-Commerce Market

The new-age brands are coming up to the challenge to fulfill new-age consumer demands, which is experiencing a silent revolution in India, as the country develops interest in personal wellness and intimate lifestyle products. Freaky Fun has become one of the leading high-performance pleasure product destination sites with its fast-growing popularity among thousands of customers in the country. The overall success of the brand does not lie in its huge variety of goods only, but also in its devotion to the best quality, privacy, and undisrupted service, which is important to the intended modern, metropolitan Indian population of customers.

Having been launched out of New Delhi, Freaky Fun has been gradually finding its niche in a target market that values discreteness of shopping and reliability of products the most. The platform is dedicated to offering high-quality, skin-friendly, and well-designed products with promises to ensure the safety of their products. With that, the platform is a top-notch solution to the lack of options Indian consumers previously had to deal with. Today, the brand site demonstrates an abundant line of offers, so it serves a wide audience of individual preferences and wellness needs.

Of special interest is the ability of Freaky Fun to grow its product range to fit into the contemporary lifestyle. As well as advanced and remote-control-operated toys and innovations that can be used through an application, the brand does not lack one of the features, as well as carefully designed wearable products and massagers designed to relieve discomfort in the body. Some of the trending products that promote the increasing number of customers on the platform include vibrating bead stimulators, inflatable massagers, finer silicone-based personal tools, and sophisticated wearable devices.

In addition to diversity, the brand puts a lot of focus on discretion and trust, which are rather essential aspects in such a market as India, where privacy concerning individual purchases is an essential point. All the products that are ordered under Freaky Fun are mailed in unmarked packages that are very secure, and the online store guarantees a very smooth and discreet shopping experience. The strategy has gained a high level of consumer confidence where over 5,000 customers have already accessed its services and a high number of repeat customers are emerging.

Since personal wellness is a more and more popular subject among India’s young and educated customers, Freaky Fun can easily respond to the growing demand. The change in general opinion can hardly go unnoticed anymore, where things perceived to be taboo several years ago are now a subject of discussion asynchronously as self-care and a transition to a modern lifestyle. Its e-commerce customer experience is smooth, customer care is round the clock, and delivery is fast within the nation. All these have enhanced its attractiveness to the generation of digitally connected people in India.

Freaky Fun, in many ways, shows a change of culture. As Indian customers adopt new concepts about pleasure and personal well-being, brands that focus on safety, quality, and respect for privacy have never had such an opportunity to grow. The story of Freaky Fun confirming its rapid growth in this segment shows that this market could become very profitable, and the key to success is to offer the consumer-first, trustworthy experience.

As its product line expands, its customer base remains loyal, and its profile grows more and more visible, Freaky Fun will soon be one of the leading names in personal wellness online circulation in India, and this is the beginning of a new era of how the nation can handle intimate lifestyle products.

*When Test swap turned into a big hit for Eden Gardens*

Sports

Khabar kolkata sports Desk: India hosting reigning World Test Champions South Africa at the iconic Eden Gardens in the first Test on November 14 will be no less than an exciting and nail-biting match.

With South Africa winning the historic title after beating Australia in the final, the excitement here in Kolkata has already scaled sky-high with the mega match coming up just in five months’ time.

Interestingly, this match between India and South Africa, was originally scheduled to take place in New Delhi on Nov 14 and Eden Gardens was scheduled to host West Indies in the second Test on October 10.

But CAB President Snehasish Ganguly took the initiative to speak to BCCI, persuading the Apex Body of cricket to allow Eden Gardens host India vs South Africa in November.

Eventually, BCCI swapped Kolkata Eden Gardens’ and New Delhi Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium’s allocated Test matches against West Indies and South Africa respectively during India’s upcoming home season.

The Test swap finally turned out to be a mega hit for Eden Gardens with the news of South Africa clinching the World Test Championship.
