THIS Ram Gopal Varma heroine was once touted as the next Urmila Matondkar, quit films after 12 years, later accused of abandoning ailing father
Antara Mali, once hailed as a rising star under Ram Gopal Varma's guidance, debuted in Bollywood with high expectations, showcasing her talent in films like 'Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon.' Despite critical acclaim, she never achieved superstardom, later venturing into direction before unexpectedly leaving the industry after her marriage. In an industry where fame is fleeting and talent doesn't always guarantee longevity, Antara Mali 's story stands out as both promising and puzzling. Once projected as the next Urmila Matondkar and a frequent collaborator of Ram Gopal Varma , Antara seemed poised for stardom. But after a dozen years in the spotlight, she chose to walk away—leaving behind a brief yet memorable legacy, and later, headlines for reasons far removed from cinema. Early Break and RGV 's Muse Daughter of renowned photographer Jagdish Mali, Antara made her Bollywood debut in 1998 with Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge!. While the film failed at the box office, her screen presence didn't go unnoticed. It was filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma who spotted her potential early on and soon became a key figure in shaping her cinematic journey. Notable Roles but Missed Stardom RGV cast her in several of his projects, including the Telugu film Prem Katha, Mast (1999), Road (2002), Company (2002)—where she played Ajay Devgn 's wife—and Darna Mana Hai (2003). Her most acclaimed role came in Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon, a tribute to the legendary actress. While critics praised her performance, the film failed to click with audiences. Despite multiple opportunities and RGV's unwavering support, Antara never quite reached the stardom many had predicted for her. Behind the Camera By 2005, Antara took a bold step to steer her career by directing and starring in Mr Ya Mrs, a comedy-drama that unfortunately didn't make a mark. The film failed to revive her slipping stardom. She made one final attempt at a comeback in 2010 with Amol Palekar 's ...And Once Again, but the film went unnoticed. After that, Antara quietly exited the film industry for good. In 2009, the actress tied the knot with Che Kurrien, the editor of GQ India. The couple later welcomed a daughter. Choosing a life away from the spotlight, Antara stepped back entirely from public life, dedicating herself to her family and keeping her personal affairs strictly private. Controversy and Public Scrutiny She returned to the headlines in January 2013—but this time, not for her films. Actress Mink Brar alleged that she found Antara's father, renowned photographer Jagdish Mali, wandering semi-nude on the streets of Versova. Brar accused Antara of neglecting her ailing father, a claim that sparked widespread concern, controversy, and criticism in the media. Quiet Farewell At the time, Antara —who was pregnant—responded strongly to the allegations. She clarified that her father was not mentally ill but occasionally experienced disorientation due to diabetes. Antara accused Mink Brar of exploiting the situation for publicity and maintained that her father was otherwise being cared for. Tragically, Jagdish Mali passed away just a few months later, on May 13, 2013. Since 2010, Mali has remained completely out of the limelight—no films, no interviews, and no public appearances. Her quiet departure from Bollywood stands as one of the industry's most understated exits—a talented actress who once held immense promise but ultimately chose a path far removed from fame.

Roblox's Dinosaur Grow a Garden has officially entered its darker phase with the launch of the Corrupted Event Update, which went live today at 7:00 AM (PT). This pivotal expansion shifts the game's Zen-themed tranquility into chaos, introducing the Corrupt mutation, the enigmatic Corrupt Channeler, and the brand-new Corrupted Kitsune NPC, along with multiple seeds, pets, and high-stakes gameplay mechanics. The franchise Zen Aura event now has a chance each hour to mutate into the Corrupt Zen Aura, during which fruits can randomly gain the Corrupt mutation, distinguished by a swirling red aura. These mutated fruits offer a massive 25× sale value multiplier, making them highly coveted. Players submit Tranquil-mutated fruits to the Corrupt Channeler NPC to earn Corruption Points that grow the Corrupt Tree at the center hub. As corruption levels increase, players unlock further mutations and clear tiered rewards. Each hourly Zen event resets corruption progression.

Completing this balancing act unlocks special rewards including seeds and high-tier pets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Digital Marketing: How I Succeeded [Read] modern media blueprint Learn More Undo New Seeds Six new seeds have joined the game with this update: Live Events Sakura Bush, Dezen, Lucky Bamboo, Enkaku, Tranquil Bloom, and Elder Strawberry (plus Fruitball linked to the Travis Kelce event). Lucky Bamboo is particularly lucrative with an average sell price of ~110,000; Enkaku clocks ~77,000; Elder Strawberry hovers around ~81,000. Some seeds drop via Kitsune Chests, others directly from the Corrupt Channeler or Zen shop. Corrupted Kitsune Pet Arguably the star of the update is the Corrupted Kitsune, a rare and exotic pet rumored to drop from Kitsune Chest or Exotic Kitsune Chest, with only a 1 per cent chance—making it one of the rarest pets so far. Its passive ability is devastating: it removes nine existing mutations from nine different fruits on your plot and then applies Corrupted Chakra to one random fruit—sometimes upgrading to Foxfire Chakra, a much rarer aura. It's also among the most hunger‑demanding pets, requiring ~50,000 hunger units. Corrupt Staff: Operates like Star Caller, granting Corrupt mutation to nearby plants during Corrupt Aura events. Corrupt Mutation Spray: Allows you to manually apply Corrupt mutation to a selected crop. Corrupted Pet Mutation Shard: Available in the Zen shop using Chi points or Robux, to give pets Corrupt mutation traits. Corrupted Kodama Pet: A rare spawn with ~4.35 per cent chance from Corrupt Tree rewards, with a 4 per cent chance to mutate crops at harvest. FAQs Q1. How do I get Corrupt and Tranquil mutations in Grow a Garden? A1. Corrupt and Tranquil mutations occur during Zen Aura events, which happen every hour. Q2. What are the best new seeds in the Corrupted Update? A2. The Corrupted Update (July 26, 2025) added several high-value seeds to Grow a Garden. Some of the best include: Lucky Bamboo – Average value: ~110,000 coins, Elder Strawberry – Average: ~81,000 coins, Enkaku – Average: ~77,000 coins.

Divya Deshmukh devastated in FIDE Women's World Cup final draw against Koneru Humpy
Divya Deshmukh devastated (Screengrabs) The first game of the FIDE Women's World Cup final between 19-year-old Divya Deshmukh and 38-year-old Grandmaster (GM) Koneru Humpy ended in a tense draw on Saturday in Batumi, Georgia. But it was the emotion on Divya's face at the end, hands covering her disappointment, that told the real story of a missed opportunity. Watch: Making her debut in a major final, Divya came in with bold intent. Playing with the white pieces, she surprised many by opening with 1.d4, a move she hadn't played all tournament. It was a clear sign of targeted preparation. For the first hour, the young International Master (IM) held a clear edge, pushing Humpy onto the back foot with sharp, aggressive moves. But as the clock ticked and pressure mounted, Divya began using significant time for key decisions. The advantage slowly began to slip away. Humpy, ever composed, showed why she's long been India's top female player. She neutralised the pressure with precise calculation and calm defence, turning the tables slowly without ever forcing the issue.
