Shahana Goswami's 'Four Years Later'

Shahana Goswami's 'Four Years Later'

India Today6 hours ago
In a career spanning two decades, Shahana Goswami has been a part of only two stories that had romance at the centre of them. The first was Ru-Ba-Ru (2008), and the second is Four Years Later, an eight-part Indo-Australian series created by Mithila Gupta. Co-starring Akshay Ajit Singh, the show revolves around a newly-wed couple forced to live apart as the husband moves to Sydney while the wife continues to live in India. 'The portrayal of their lives felt very real. The kinds of issues in their relationship were nuanced and mature. It isn't just typical male-bashing or gender normative issues between couples,' says Goswami. Shot in Mumbai and Jaipur before moving to Sydney, the show uses both English and Hindi. 'It was so refreshing to have Indian characters in the lead who spoke in their natural accents.'

Meta apologises forfaulty translation

Bengaluru: Days after its auto-translation tool erroneously declared CM Siddaramaiah as deceased in a condolence message, social media giant Meta issued an apology and claimed to have fixed the glitch. "We fixed an issue that briefly caused this inaccurate Kannada translation. We apologise that this happened," a Meta spokesperson said Thursday, following a sharp backlash from the CM and his office. The controversy erupted after the CM's Office posted a condolence message in Kannada on Facebook and Instagram, mourning the death of veteran actress B Sarojadevi. However, the English auto-translation read:"CM Siddaramaiah passed away yesterday, a multilingual star, senior actress B. Took darshan of Sarojadeviʼs earthly body and paid his last respects."

The CMO also asked Meta to work with Kannada language experts and professionals to improve contextual accuracy in translations. Machine-generated translations are commonly used across Meta's platforms for user bios, posts, and public content. In the case of Kannada, the AI-based model had generated erroneous results, especially on Facebook.

Mannara Chopra shares unseen childhood photo with Priyanka Chopra as she wishes her 'mimi didi' on her birthday

On July 18, Priyanka Chopra Jonas turned 43, and among the many heartfelt wishes she received was a nostalgic tribute from her cousin, actor Mannara Chopra. The Bigg Boss 17 alum took to social media to post two memorable photos, one from Priyanka's wedding to Nick Jonas, and another that tugged at the heartstrings: a candid childhood photo featuring the Chopra cousins and their family. Mannara Chopra calls Priyanka a blessing in birthday tribute Mannara extended her warm wishes by calling Priyanka a blessing and writing, 'Happy Birthday Mimi Didi. God bless you.' The first image showed Mannara posing with Priyanka, Nick Jonas, their parents, and sister Mitali Handa at the wedding. The second photo, previously unseen, captured a tender moment from their childhood, reflecting the close-knit bond shared by the Chopra family. Check out her post here: The relaxed photo from the past, which illustrated childhood and a positive mood, caused fans to greatly react and most of them commented on the sincerity of the act. Indeed, it was also a proof of the strong bonds the Chopra family still share, even though the members are moving solo through industries and continents. Personal loss According to Pinkvilla, Mannara's tribute came just weeks after the passing of her father, Raman Rai Handa, on June 16 in Delhi. He was also the uncle of Priyanka and Parineeti Chopra. Mannara resumed work shortly after the loss, sharing her gratitude with followers and expressing her intent to carry forward her father's strength. Priyanka, who couldn't attend the funeral due to overseas commitments, paid tribute to her uncle via Instagram Stories, writing, 'You'll always be in our hearts. Rest easy, Raman uncle (fufaji). Om Shanti.' Mannara continues to build her career across formats According to the Hindustan Times, not just in reality-tv shows, but also in unfiltered persona during her stay in Bigg Boss 17, Mannara caught eye of the whole nation and directly touched the hearts of the audience. The Indian actress was also a part of the team of Laughter Chefs 2, in which she and comedian Sudesh Lehri were the best couple before quitting the show due to her prior engagements during the middle of the season. Well, Mannara has now touched down with her talent in the film industries of Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada and is still quite active in her television and digital roles. Mannara may have dropped the casual hint of the release of her new projects even if the details are not completely clear, one of the projects being a regional thriller and a fashion-based reality series soon.
