Famous Movie Writer Claimed Shashi Tharoor Worked In Movies As Child Actor, The MP Reacts

The day of April 1 (April Fool’s Day) is known for playing pranks as people love to make others fools but as everyone knows about it, the prank should look as much authentic as possible. Shashi Tharoor, the Congress MP from Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram, is undoubtedly one of the most famous politicians of the present times. Thanks to his impeccable vocabulary and witty posts and responses on the social media networks, he enjoys a huge fan following among online users.

However, yesterday a new side of Shashi Tharoor came into light as he decided to carry on with the joke which was played on him. Vaibhav Vishal, the famous movie writer took to the micro-blogging site Twitter yesterday and posted an image from a black & white movie “Jailor” which got released in the year 1958. The image showed a kid with the actress Geeta Bali and what is special about the kid is that he looks quite similar to Shashi Tharoor. Though the name of the child artist is Master Gyaan and he has no connection with the politician, Vaibhav Vishal claimed in his tweet that it was Shashi Tharoor who acted in movies as a child artist.

Take a look at the image shared by Vaibhav Vishal:

The tweet with the pic read, “While @ShashiTharoor never was in Andaz Apna Apna, he did act in movies as a child star. His screen name was Master Gyaan, and he did 9 Hindi and Malayalam films. Attaching a still from Jailor with Geeta Bali. Today was just the right day to revisit this picture. Go, Shashi!”

Undoubtedly it was a great prank and Shashi Tharoor didn’t want to spoil it so he also played along by accepting that he worked in movies in childhood which he never wanted to reveal. Tharoor’s tweet read, “And I had tried to keep it secret all along! Good sleuthing @ofnosurnamefame ! Btw I am still known as Master Gyaan…”

The Indian Twitterati was left scratching their heads as many were not even able to believe it but it was so convincing that majority of the online users believed that Shashi Tharoor worked as a child actor as well.

However a day after the prank was played, the film writer revealed the truth as he tweeted, “Sorry to burst everybody’s bubble here, but you guys were, well, April fooled. Politics is the best acting @ShashiTharoor does, and he does a phenomenal job of it, but outside of that, he never has acted in any movies.  PS: Master Gyaan he definitely is.”

The politician also cleared the air and wrote, “For all those folks who took this exchange seriously: It’s a joke! He is pulling my leg and I am playing along for fun. See yesterday’s date! #AprilFoolsDay”

That was really a good prank, what do you say?

Virat Reveals 3 Words Sachin Said To Him When He Got Dismissed & Kohli Went To Bat In 2011 WC

Today (2nd April 2022) is a very special day for the Indian cricket fans as 11 years ago on this date, the Indian cricket team defeated Sri Lanka in the finals of the 2011 ICC World Cup and became the champions of the world cricket by winning the World Cup. This amazing feat was achieved by the Indian squad under the leadership of MS Dhoni, the only skipper who has three major ICC trophies to this name – 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy.

Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary former Indian cricketer, was also a part of the team which broke the 28 years old jinx and brought the World Cup back to the country. The match was played at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium and after batting first, Sri Lanka gave a target of 275 runs to the hosts. The start of the Indian innings was pretty bad; Virender Sehwag (0) and Sachin Tendulkar (18) got out early and there was a time when India’s score was 31/2 in 6.1 overs. After Sachin Tendulkar got out, Virat Kohli who was just 22 years old at that time went to bat at the fourth position.

On the 11th anniversary of the achievement, Virat Kohli talked about the match in a video and he also revealed the three words that were said to him by Little Master when he went to bat. This video is posted by Royal Challengers Bangalore on its YouTube channel in which Virat Kohli talked about remembering the pressure of walking down to bat after 2 down as Sachin and Sehwag both were out. He added that as he walked, Sachin talked to him in brief and said, “build a partnership” which he did with Gautam Gambhir.

Virat said that he and Gambhir put up a partnership of 83 runs, he scored 35 runs which is probably the most valuable 35 runs of his career. He adds that the memories of that day are still afresh and he is happy that he was able to contribute in the match. Virat Kohli hasn’t been able to forget the thrill of winning the World Cup and the experience of listening to the crowd singing “Vande Mataram” and “Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander” is something that he will never forget.

The heroes of India’s win were Gautam Gambhir (97) and MS Dhoni (91) but Virat Kohli also played an important role by stabilizing the innings with Gambhir.

India hasn’t won a major ICC trophy since 2013 and it is really high time that we win one soon.

Step By Step Guide To Know About The Top Investment Plans In India 2022

Adulthood is all about financial responsibilities. You have to earn your living, pay your bills. And in case, you have children, you have to save for their education. In a nutshell, financial burdens are many. All the more reason for you to do more than just depend on your monthly paychecks. You need to invest.

By investment, we don’t only mean investment in the security market. Not everybody has the risk appetite to invest in the security market. That said, you can invest in the best investment plans in Indiato generate a corpus that can help you live your life without any financial anxieties.

Here’s a list of some of the best investment plans in India:
1. Public Provident Fund

Public Provident Fund, also known as PPF, was introduced in 1968 with the objective of helping individuals build a corpus through investment. It is a tax saving investment plan in India that is safer, and suitable for risk-averse individuals. As of FY 2022, the interest rate for the PPF account is 7.1%. Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, the PPF investment plan in India is subject to tax benefits (up to the limit of INR 1,50,000).

A PPF account can be set up in the post office, or any bank account. The minimum tenure of PPF is 15 years, with a minimum investment requirement of INR 500 and a maximum of INR 1,50,000.
2. Unit Linked Investment Plan

Unit Linked Investment Plans, also known as, ULIP, is an investment plan in India that has both the features of investment and insurance. It is a premium-based investment; a portion of the premium is paid towards investing in market-linked instruments, and the other portion goes towards the term insurance premium.

Anyone who is looking to create wealth and provide a financial net to their family can opt for this investment plan in India.

However, it is to be noted, that as an investment instrument, ULIPs don’t provide guaranteed returns. As it is a market-linked plan, the returns depend on the performance of the stock on a particular date. Thus, if you are someone who can afford to take risks, ULIPs can be your go-to investment plan in India.

3. Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana

Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana is a government introduced investment plan in India. The plan was designed to help individuals create a pension cum retirement scheme.

Retirement meaning is well understood, hence a retirement fund is meant for your post-employment life. As of FY 22, the scheme promises to provide an assured pension of 7.40 % p.a. The amount is payable for a policy term of 10 years.

4. Systematic Investment Plan
 

Systematic Investment Plan, also known as SIP, is one of the best investment plans in India. The plan helps build a corpus against regular investment habits. The returns or interest on SIPs are averaged out, so there’s no need to worry about the market’s ups and downs. In other words, when the market is down, you can buy more units of a share. That’s how the cost of purchase averages out.

Additionally, the power of compound interest helps accumulate wealth that can be withdrawn upon maturity. SIPs work through monthly fixed sum payments. This payment is used to buy units of stock in mutual funds. The fund at maturity includes the returns on the stocks and compound interest.

5. ELSS Mutual Funds
Equity Linked Savings Scheme or ELSS is a type of mutual fund scheme that invests in the stock market. ELSS has a short lock-in period of 3 years and has tax benefits (up to INR 1,50,000). The fund manager selects the best stocks across small caps, medium caps and large caps, and uses your invested amount to buy the stocks.

ELSS is suitable for salaried individuals and first-time investors. There are 3 ways of investing in ELSS mutual funds, growth option, dividend option, and Dividend reinvestment option. All of them differ according to payout priorities.

Returns in ELSS mutual funds are not guaranteed as these funds are subject to market risks but are higher than other tax saving instruments.

Lastly,

Even though investing in the best investment plans in India, is a go-to way of generating wealth. However, don’t let that be a quick and unresearched decision. Research carefully, know the do’s and don’ts and your rights as an investor.

Remember, a smart investor is the best investor.

Ishant Sharma Went Unsold In IPL Auction But Appears In Virtual Guest Box, Twitter Reacts

The craze of the IPL 2022 is in full swing among the Indian cricket fans but some fans are a little disappointed with the fact that they are not able to see their favorite cricketers this time. While AB de Villiers decided to take retirement, Chris Gayle didn’t register and there were some big names who went unsold such as Suresh Raina, Ishant Sharma, etc. While Suresh Raina made his debut as a commentator in the IPL this year, Ishant Sharma also made an entry in the tournament in a different manner which has left his fans in a state of shock.

Ishant Sharma led the Indian pace battery for quite a few years and he played for many teams (Delhi Capitals, Deccan Chargers, Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rising Pune Supergiant) in the IPL since the inaugural edition of 2008 but this year, he went unsold because of his poor performances in the recent past. The Delhi cricketer didn’t attract a single bid at his base price of Rs. 1.5 crore but in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders which was played at Dr. D Y Patil Stadium, Mumbai, he was seen sitting in the virtual guest box.

Fans were left bewildered after seeing the pacer in the virtual guest box in place of the field and many were sad and upset for Ishant Sharma. This is how fans reacted:

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6

#7

#8

#9

#10

The emergence of young Indian pacers in the Indian cricket world has made it tough for Ishant Sharma to retain his place in the Indian squad, though he was India’s main bowler in the longest format for quite some time.

Ishant Sharma has played 105 test matches for the country which certainly speaks high of his caliber and talent and he has 311 test wickets to his name. As far as shorter formats are concerned, he has played 80 ODIs in which he has taken 115 wickets and in 14 T20Is, he has taken 8 wickets. As far as IPL is concerned, he has taken 72 wickets in 93 matches that he has played for different franchises.

Seeing Ishant Sharma sitting in the virtual guest box is really shocking!

5 Cricketers Who Debuted With Virat Kohli But Couldn’t Make It Big In Cricket World

Virat Kohli may not have scored a century in any format for more than last two years but he is certainly one of the greatest of all times. Many records have been broken by the former skipper of the Indian cricket team and he is considered to be the best candidate to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 international centuries.

Virat Kohli came into limelight after India’s under-19 team won the ICC Under-19 World Cup under his leadership in the year 2008, he was the second Indian skipper to achieve this feat. Soon he became an integral part of the Indian cricket squad and he was also made the skipper of the team in all the three formats. Though India never won any major ICC tournament under Kohli’s leadership, he is still one of the most successful skippers of the country because his winning percentage is more than that of any other captain.

While Virat Kohli has tasted success in his career and he is an important part of the Indian team even now, there are some players who debuted into the international cricket in the same year as Virat Kohli but they are nowhere to be seen in the cricketing circuits at present.

Here are 5 such players who debuted with Virat Kohli but were not able to make it big in the cricket world:

1. Subramaniam Badrinath:

The cricketer from Tamil Nadu performed superbly in domestic circuits because of which he was bought by Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2008. Though Badrinath was not a big hitter of the ball, he played some really good knocks and helped his team in winning matches and soon he got the call for national duty but he was not able to use the opportunity for his benefit. In 7 ODIs, Badrinath was able to score only 79 runs and as a result, he was not included in the Indian squad for the 2011 ICC World Cup. He did get one more chance as he was called for the ODI and T20I series against West Indies but that turned out be his last international series. It is being said that he has taken up commentary after taking retirement from cricket.

2. Manpreet Gony:

The pacer from Punjab made an impact in the IPL 2008 as he took 17 wickets from the 16 games that he played and soon he was included in the Indian squad. However, he was not able to replicate his performance and picked only 2 wickets in the 2 ODIs that he could play. He was dropped from the national team but he kept on playing in the IPL for various IPL teams.

3. Manoj Tiwary:

The cricketer turned politician from Bengal was considered as one of the most promising talents in those times and his superb performances in domestic circuits formed the platform for his entry in the Indian cricket team. He made his ODI debut against Australia but was not able to make any impact, however he kept on performing at the domestic level and he was once again given a chance against West Indies, three years after his debut. Though it is correct that Manoj Tiwary had to face a lot of competition, it is also true that his international career got affected due to his injuries too.

4. Yusuf Pathan:

The elder brother of cricketer Irfan Pathan was known for his aggressive style of batting and he was certainly a good all-rounder. Yusuf Pathan played many match-winning knocks in domestic, international and IPL matches and he had the capability to win matches on his own but his biggest problem was his inconsistency.

5. Pragyan Ojha:

The Indian cricket has produced many great spinners and Pragyan Ojha was also termed as the boy to look for in the future. Though he secured his place in the longest format of the game, he was not much effective in the shorter formats and last international match of Sachin Tendulkar turned out to be his last international game as well. Pragyan Ojha has 113 wickets to his name from 24 test matches, 21 wickets from 18 ODIs and 10 wickets from 6 T20Is. In Feb 2020, he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.

Not everyone makes it big but still these cricketers are special because making it to the national squad is no less than an achievement. What do you say?
