"Courage Has No Age": Woman Completes 10,000-Foot Skydive On 80th Birthday
An eighty-year-old woman has become the oldest Indian woman to complete a tandem skydive. Dr Shraddha Chauhan, mother of Retired Brigadier Saurabh Singh Shekhawat, jumped from a height of 10,000 feet on her 80th birthday to make it to the record books. Despite battling vertigo, cervical spondylitis and spinal disc issues, Dr Chauhan took the plunge at Skyhigh India, at Narnaul Airstrip in Haryana, two hours from Delhi. It is the country's only certified civilian drop zone. In a video shared by Skyhigh India's official Instagram, Dr Chauhan is seen preparing for her jump with the support of her son, one of India's most decorated Army officers. "She is my mother. Turning 80 years, and today, I have the good fortune and honour of jumping with her," he says in the clip. "Happy Birthday," he said, as his mother planted a kiss on his cheek. The 80-year-old said, "The desire I had in my heart, to fly in the sky like an aeroplane, today my son has fulfilled that wish. It's a very proud moment". The video shows the brigadier helping his mother stretch and warm up before the flight. Onboard the aircraft, he assists her with the gear, and moments later, the duo free-falls into the blue. A GoPro camera captured the wind whipping against their faces and the breathtaking fall. As her feet touched the ground, Dr Chauhan made history. Many came to congratulate her and wish her a happy birthday. The caption read, "She is now the oldest Indian woman to do a tandem skydive - and the oldest to do so within India. A mother. A milestone. A moment that soared. Courage knows no age. Love has no altitude." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Skyhigh (@skyhighindia)

Jethalal and Babita Ji quit Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah? Asit Modi breaks silence
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of the longest-running sitcoms in Indian Television history. Over time, the show has hit the headlines for various unfavorable reasons, with several OG actors leaving the show. Lately, Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta were absent for an extended period ever since the ongoing 'Bhootni' storyline began. Social media was abuzz with rumors that the much-loved duo of Jethalal and Babita Ji were leaving the show. And now, Producer Asit Modi has broken his silence on the matter. In a recent interview with Money Control, Asit Modi rubbishes the rumors and said, 'As you know, social media these days has become so negative that you should try to keep a positive mindset. And Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a completely positive show. It's a family show that spreads happiness. So some people should think positively about it. It's not right to spread rumours about small things or say anything inappropriate. That's not a good thing.' Asit Modi went on to add that there is no truth in the ongoing rumors. He said, 'Lekin kuch nahi hai, sab log hamari team ka part hai. Kuch unke personal reasons the to us time nahi the. To aise koi baat nahi hai." (But there's nothing like that; everyone is part of our team. They were not present at that time due to some personal reasons. So, there's no such issue.) Meanwhile, Munmun Dutta, who essays the role of Babita Ji, posted a BTS video of her from the sets of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Her caption reads, 'Rumors are always not true.' Although Babita Ji is back on the show, it remains uncertain when Dilip Joshi, also known as Jethalal, will return and resume filming. For the unversed, several beloved actors of TMKOC, including Disha Vakani, Jheel Mehta, Bhavya Gandhi, Raj Anadkat, Palak Sindhwani, Gurucharan Singh, and Neha Mehta, have all bid goodbye to the show. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more.
