Whether as a brand ambassador for the Cancer Patients Aid Association or Teen Cancer America or supporting sports for underprivileged children — I've always believed in doing meaningful work quietly.
But now, I feel it's high time we make these efforts big and visible. Our oceans, marine life, and even voiceless animals are suffering because of plastic and pollution. It's time we take action, come together, and protect the only home we all share.'
The event was not just about cleaning, but also about educating. Through banners, interactive sessions, and eco-friendly giveaways, the campaign urged people to adopt sustainable lifestyles, say no to plastic, and care for all living beings.

Meet family where films, swimming medals, and cricket caps go hand in hand, the legacy of Thalaivasal Vijay.
Not every actor fades after the credits roll. Some quietly build empires off-screen. 'Thalaivasal' Vijay, a familiar face from Tamil cinema's golden '90s, is one such name. Known for his deeply rooted performances, he's the kind of actor who might not grab the poster space but ends up staying in memory longer than the leads. It all started with Thalaivasal in 1992. From there, Vijay became a staple in films like Thevar Magan, Mahanadhi, and the evergreen Kadhal Kottai — especially the iconic 'Vyyathe Sakothara' song, where his dance became the talk of the town. With over 200 films under his belt across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi, Vijay became the master of meaningful roles, the friend, the father, the silent game-changer. Who is his daughter, and why is she in the news? While Vijay made a name through cinema, his daughter Jayaveena chose the pool. A record-breaking swimmer, she clinched a medal at the South Asian Swimming Championships in Nepal and was once crowned 'India's Fastest Swimmer.' She has represented the country multiple times and made Tamil Nadu proud. And what about the son-in-law? The athletic streak runs strong in this family. Jayaveena is married to Baba Aparajith, Tamil Nadu's cricket star and a former IPL player. He played a crucial part in India's victorious Under-19 World Cup campaign in 2012. The couple, both rooted in sport, tied the knot a few years ago and continue to thrive in their respective fields. Does Vijay still follow sports? Absolutely. Known to be a sports enthusiast since childhood, Vijay still loves tuning into sports channels at home. With a swimmer daughter and a cricketer son-in-law, his evenings are probably full of highlight reels and proud smiles.

Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 preview: Shocking Twist! Spot eviction with an open nomination task awaits
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 intensifies as contestants face a sudden open nomination task, potentially leading to an immediate eviction. Housemates nominate those they deem undeserving, sparking sharp comments and heated exchanges. This twist follows a fiery episode of accusations, heightening the drama and signaling the true start of the game. Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 is turning up the heat faster than expected. Just a day after eight contestants were nominated for the week's eviction, a teaser released by the makers hints at yet another explosive twist, an open nomination task that could lead to a spot eviction. In the latest promo, contestant Bincy is seen reading out a task letter from Bigg Boss , which asks the housemates to nominate someone they believe does not deserve to stay in the house. The twist? The letter clearly states that the result of this task will lead to an eviction, possibly an immediate one. In the teaser, Aryan is seen nominating Shanavas, making a sharp comment: "He tries to portray himself as Rudran, the villain from his serial, but to me, he feels more like a cat." Gizele, who was already nominated earlier, targeted Sarika, saying, "This is Bigg Boss, not a place to act like a mother-in-law." Rena too jumped into the action, stating she doesn't think Nevin fits the Bigg Boss image and is only trying to be an entertainer. Nevin, unfazed, snapped back, saying, 'I'm here because I am an entertainer.' This bold move comes right after a fiery episode that saw emotional breakdowns and heated accusations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Earlier, Aneesh Tharayil had accused Sarika of being fake and lacking a personality, referring to her work in scripted interviews.
