Aman Sharma: TV actors rarely get time for their personal life, but I never complain, it's my passion
Aman Sharma, recognized for his portrayal of the antagonist acknowledges the demanding nature of television acting. He highlights the challenges of balancing personal life with rigorous schedules. Aman Sharma , currently seen as the antagonist Virendra Pratap Singh in Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri , says being an actor in the television industry comes with its own set of challenges—especially when it comes to time and commitment. 'Well, as an actor, the biggest challenge in the TV industry is that you barely manage time for your personal life. And sometimes, if you get good other opportunities—for example, some movie or OTT—then holding a commitment to one particular thing at a time, you cannot jump onto another,' Aman shares candidly. 'But trust me, I never complain about this. It's passion and I'm living it properly, thankfully.' Often seen playing negative roles, Aman is clear that he doesn't feel boxed in. 'I never feel that doing a negative character has got me typecast. I personally love to play villains." At the same time, he's open to exploring other kinds of roles. 'And yes, I would love to play the hero if offered—why not?'

Income Tax Return: Old Regime Vs New Regime, Which One Should You Choose For AY 2025-26?
ITR Filing 2025: While the new regime is now the default, the government still gives individuals the option to choose what works best for their finances. Check detailed comparison. Old Income Tax Regime Vs New Regime For ITR Filing 2025: With the income tax return (ITR) filing season for the assessment year 2025-26 (financial year 2024-25) underway, taxpayers are again facing the question: Should I opt for the old tax regime or the new one? While the new regime is now the default, the government still gives individuals the option to choose what works best for their finances. Here's a detailed comparison between the old income tax regime and the new regime: What Is the Old Tax Regime? The old tax regime is the income tax system that offers a wide range of exemptions and deductions, allowing taxpayers to reduce their taxable income by claiming benefits such as Section 80C (up to ₹1.5 lakh) for investments in PPF, ELSS, LIC, etc; house rent allowance (HRA); leave travel allowance (LTA); interest on home loan (Section 24); health insurance premium (Section 80D); education loan interest (Section 80E); and standard deduction (Rs 50,000 for salaried individuals). Old Regime Tax Slabs (FY 2024-25): Note: Rebate under Section 87A is available for taxable income up to Rs 5 lakh (i.e., no tax liability if total income is within Rs 5 lakh). Introduced in Budget 2020 and revamped in Union Budget 2023, the new tax regime offers lower tax rates but no major exemptions or deductions (except a few like NPS employer contribution and standard deduction from FY 2023-24). Note: Standard deduction of Rs 50,000 is allowed for salaried/pensioners from FY 2023-24 onwards, even under the new regime. Key Differences Between Old and New Regimes: Who Should Choose the Old Regime? 'You may benefit from the old regime if you claim large deductions under 80C, 80D, HRA, or home loan interest; you have invested in tax-saving instruments like PPF, ELSS, NSC, etc; your employer provides components like HRA, LTA, or reimbursements that reduce taxable salary; or you're a senior citizen availing multiple deductions," said Aman Sharma, a Delhi-based chartered accountant. Giving an example, he said, 'If your gross income is Rs 10 lakh and you claim deductions of Rs 2.5-3 lakh, your taxable income goes down to Rs 7 lakh, making the old regime more attractive." Who Should Choose the New Regime? He added that the new regime is ideal for salaried individuals who don't claim many deductions; freelancers, gig workers, or those with simplified income; young earners who have just started working and haven't made tax-saving investments yet; and individuals who prefer lower tax rates without documentation hassles. Sharma cited an example and said, 'A salaried person earning Rs 9 lakh with no major deductions may pay less tax under the new regime due to lower slab rates and the Rs 50,000 standard deduction." Section 87A Rebate: What Is Applicable For AY 2025-26? Under the new regime, no tax is payable for income up to Rs 7 lakh after the rebate, making it attractive for lower and middle-income earners. Default Regime Status from FY 2023-24 From FY 2023-24, the new tax regime is the default. The CA said if you want to stay in the old regime, you must actively opt for it while filing your ITR. Salaried individuals can inform their employer about their choice at the beginning of the financial year. Switching Regimes: What You Should Know Salaried taxpayers can choose their regime every year while filing ITR. You can tell your employer your preferred regime for TDS purposes, but it's not final as you can change it when filing ITR. It is important to know that business or professional taxpayers can switch only once without restrictions. Which Regime is Better in 2025? Sharma said there's no one-size-fits-all answer. The right regime for you depends on how much you earn, how much you invest or spend on eligible deductions, and your preference for simplicity vs savings. As a thumb rule, choose the new regime if you have fewer deductions and want simplicity, he added. 'Stick to the old regime if you can claim significant tax deductions, especially if your income is above Rs 10 lakh," he said. Taxpayers are advised to use the income tax department's calculator or consult a tax advisor to make an informed choice before filing your ITR for AY 2025-26. ITR Filing Last Date 2025 top videos View all The last date to file the income tax return for AY 2025-26 (FY 2024-25) is September 15, 2025. However, for the ITRs that require audit, the deadline is October 31, 2025.

I usually hit the gym post-shoot and spend the rest of the time with my family.' Ananya Panday on working with legendary boxer Mike Tyson in 'Liger': 'I was a bit scared to interact with him'

Indian and Nepalese suspects smeared spice powder on face of company president during robbery
SAITAMA (TR) – Saitama Prefectural Police have arrested four Indian and Nepalese suspects for allegedly smearing spice powder in the face of a company president during a robbery earlier this year, reports the Sankei Shimbun (June 9). At around 3:20 p.m. on March 14, Aman Sharma, a 31-year-old Indian national, and three accomplices allegedly smeared something like spice powder on the face of the 52-year-old male president of a staffing company as he walked along a city road in Yoshikawa City. They then tried to steal his bag containing about 7.8 million yen in cash. The president suffered inflammation to his eyes in the incident. The injury took two weeks to heal, police said. Police have not revealed whether any of the suspects admit to allegations of robbery and assault. However, the four suspects reportedly suggested they were all 'short of money' at the time of the incident, reports TV Asahi (June 10). Aman Sharma (X) On the day of the incident, the president was on his way to deliver wages to employees in Yoshikawa. Sharma and three other suspects were lying in wait for him. Wearing masks and black rubber gloves, the perpetrators approached him from behind and smeared the spice powder into his eyes. After the company president called for help, the perpetrators fled the scene empty-handed. They surfaced as persons of interest in the case after an examination of security camera footage. Sharma had worked at the staffing company on a contract basis. Police believe they suspects committed the crime because Sharma knew that the day of the incident was payday.

76,007 Billion Pakistani Rupees: Highest-Ever Debt Mountain Crushes Islamabad
Last Updated: The document of Economic Survey of Pakistan, reviewed by CNN-News18, has said that 'excessive or poorly managed debt can pose serious vulnerabilities." Pakistan's debt is at its highest-ever level, Pakistan's Economic Survey released on Monday has revealed. This paints a worrisome situation of Pakistan's finances. The document carrying all details and figures in Pakistani rupees, reviewed by CNN-NEWS18 says that the total public debt of Pakistan (ending March 2025) has reached 76,007 Billion Pakistani Rupee (76 trillion), the highest-ever in the country's history. This means the debt is Rs 23.1 trillion in Indian rupees and 269.344 US dollars. This public debt of Pakistan has nearly doubled in last four years, as it stood at Rs 39,860 Billion in 2020-21. Ten years ago, Pakistan's Public debt stood at Rs 17,380 billion. So, the public debt has ballooned by nearly five times in Pakistan over a decade. The Rs 76,007 Billion figure includes Rs 51,518 billion of domestic debt and Rs 24,489 billion of external debt. The Economic Survey of Pakistan has said that 'excessive or poorly managed debt can pose serious vulnerabilities, such as rising interest burdens and can undermine long-term fiscal sustainability and economic security if left unaddressed." Pakistan has received a US $ 1.03 billion aid under the IMF's Extended Fund Facility. 'The growth in public debt during the first nine months of FY 25 was 6.7 per cent," the economic survey has said. Pakistan has been infamous for seeking bailouts from international organisations as well as 'friendly countries' with Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif going to the extent of saying that 'today, when we go to any friendly country or make a phone call, they think that we have come to them to beg for money." Sharif had earlier also said even small economies have surpassed Pakistan, 'and we have been wandering for the past 75 years carrying a begging bowl". CNN-NEWS18 earlier reported today that while India has brought a record number of people out of poverty as per the World Bank but the latter's latest projection on Pakistan says nearly 45 per cent of its population lives in poverty, while 16.5 per cent lives in extreme poverty. This is after a World Bank revision of the threshold poverty line last week. In an assessment earlier this April, the World Bank had said 1.9 million additional people fell into poverty in 2024-25 in Pakistan. India has been making a case before the IMF and the World Bank that Pakistan has been misusing global aid for the purposes of terrorism against India. The World Bank data could be further used by India to raise strong doubts on how Pakistan has been using global aid from agencies like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the purported benefit of its common people.
