Antony Varghese recounts scary flight experience after wrapping 'I'm Game' second schedule
Antony Varghese recently recollected a harrowing flight experience after concluding the second production schedule of his upcoming film, I'm Game, in Hyderabad. The actor's journey back to Kochi turned into an unexpected ordeal. "Still in awe of what happened yesterday," Antony wrote on Instagram. "After wrapping up the shoot for I'm Game, I boarded Indigo 6E 6707 from Hyderabad to Kochi. What seemed like a routine flight turned into something straight out of a movie." When the Indigo flight approached Kochi, the weather took a dramatic turn. Antony detailed the suspenseful moments: "As we approached Kochi, the weather turned wild. The first landing attempt was aborted just a few feet above the runway. The second try was even more intense, we were right there, almost touching down, when the pilot made a split-second decision to pull up and not land. Without even brushing the runway, she lifted the aircraft back into the skies. Goosebumps." Antony lauded the professionalism of the crew during the crisis. "With incredible calm and clarity, she diverted the flight to Coimbatore for refueling. You could feel the tension in the cabin, people were panicked, shaken. But the way the crew, all women, handled the situation was nothing short of inspiring." After the diversion and refueling in Coimbatore, the flight successfully took off again and landed safely in Kochi. Antony described the collective relief in the cabin: "After refueling, we took off again and finally landed safely in Kochi. As soon as the wheels touched down, the cabin erupted into applause." Antony concluded his account with a heartfelt tribute to the flight crew. "To the phenomenal women in the cockpit and the cabin, your quick decisions, precision, and professionalism turned a terrifying situation into a moment of deep respect and gratitude. Thank you for showing us what true grace under pressure looks like." Nahas Hidhayath, known for RDX, directs I'm Game, a film billed as a mass entertainer with a significant sports element. The film is a collaborative effort, with Sajeer Baba, Bilal Moidu, and Ismail Aboobacker scripting it, and Aadarsh Sukumaran and Shahabas Rasheed penning the dialogues. The cast also includes Tamil actor-director Mysskin, Kathir, and Samyuktha Viswanathan. Jimshi Khalid serves as cinematographer, Jakes Bejoy as music director, Chaman Chakko as editor, Anbariv as action choreographers, and Ajayan Chalissery as production designer. Dulquer Salmaan and Jom Varghese are producing it under the Wayfarer Films banner. I'm Game will see a multi-language release, including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada, in addition to Malayalam.

This 90s star was forced to beg for a living, her life was ruined after marriage, now she is..., her name is...
The personal life of some actors who shine in films is not as great as it appears on screen. There have been many such celebrities whose real life was like hell. Many actors are stars in the industry, but in their personal lives, either they are suffering from something, or they have suffered for their entire lives. This actress, who is considered a known face from the 90s, lost all his shine, especially after getting married. Telugu Actress Vasuki Here we are talking about actress Vasuki aka Pakeeza, who once made a name for herself in Telugu cinema, is currently facing financial difficulties. Vasuki, who won the hearts of the audience by acting in many successful films in the 1990s, is now living in poverty. Pakeeza's real name is Vasukii. She hails from Karaikudi in Sivagangai district of Tamil Nadu and has made a name for herself in the Telugu film industry by acting in many popular films. She became famous for her role as Pakeeza in Mohan Babu's film 'Assembly Rowdy'. After that, she worked in many hit films like 'Rowdy Gari Pellam', 'Mama Garu', 'Rowdy Inspector', 'Chittemma Mogudu', 'Brahma', 'Pedarayudu', 'Rowdy MLA', 'Amma Resign', 'Seetharatnam Gari Abbayya' and 'Annamayya'. Vasuki And Her Troubled Personal Life While she was busy in the film industry, she joined the AIADMK party on the call of the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. Since then, she has been away from films. She worked as the official spokesperson of AIADMK and fell in love with a man named Rajkumar and married him. However, she faced harassment as her in-laws did not want her to get married. Furthermore, Vasuki expressed her grief that her husband was addicted to alcohol and wasted all her wealth and gold. Vasuki's Endless Hurdles Later, the situation worsened when her husband committed suicide. She went to her mother, who had already lost her father. She said that she had spent all her money on her mother's treatment as she was suffering from cancer. Vasuki said that as long as Jayalalithaa was alive, she did not face any problems, but after her death, the situation has completely changed. He said that now it has become difficult to live and sometimes she is even ready to beg. Since no one in Tamil Nadu is paying attention to this, Vasuki hopes to meet Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan to express their support. If the government provides pension facility, she will get some financial appreciation. She also said that if needed, she will also campaign for them again.

'Wives should first learn how to make a home': Kishore Kumar divorced first wife Ruma Ghosh as she pursued a music career, cared for ailing wife Madhubala until her death
One of the most iconic singers of Bollywood in the 1970s, Kishore Kumar often made headlines for his family life and failed marriages. The legendary playback singer was married four times, and he once opened up about these well-known relationships. Kishore Kumar about his marriage with Ruma Ghosh At just 21, Kishore tied the knot with Bengali actress Ruma Ghosh, and they got divorced in 1958. Kishore talked about their marriage in an old interview with The Illustrated Weekly of India. 'She wanted to build a choir and a career. I wanted someone to build me a home. How can the two reconcile? You see, I'm a simple-minded villager type. I don't understand this business about women making careers. Wives should first learn how to make a home. And how can you fit the two together? A career and a home are quite separate things. That's why we went our separate ways,' he revealed. Did Kishore Kumar dump Madhubala after knowing her illness? Kishore Kumar about Madhubala's demise In 1960, Kishore married actress Madhubala. Madhubala suffered from a congenital heart condition, and after her demise, he got married again. Kishore stated that he knew she was ill before marrying her. He fulfilled his promise by making her his wife even though he knew she was dealing with a congenital heart problem. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo He took care of her for nine long years. 'She was such a beautiful woman and she died so painfully. She would rave and rant and scream in frustration. How can such an active person spend nine long years bedridden? And I had to humour her all the time. That's what the doctor asked me to do. That's what I did till her very last breath. I would laugh with her. I would cry with her,' he stated. Kishore Kumar and Yogeeta Bali's marriage Kishore's third marriage was to actress Yogeeta Bali in 1976, and they ended their marriage in 1978. 'That was a joke. I don't think she was serious about marriage. She was only obsessed with her mother. She never wanted to live here,' he said. Kishore Kumar's marriage with Leena Chandavarkar In 1980, Kishore found companionship with actress Leena Chandavarkar, with whom he remained until his death in 1989. He spoke of her with warmth and empathy. 'She too is an actress like all of them, but she's very different. She's seen tragedy. She's faced grief. When your husband is shot dead, you change. You understand life. You realise the ephemeral quality of all things. I am happy now,' he said. Kishore Kumar passed away in 1989 following a heart attack.
