Mumbai: Addressing the media on the Waqf Amendment Bill, SM Khan, Maharashtra Vice President of BJP Minority Morcha, stated that the common Muslim of the country stands firmly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to him, the new amendment bill will benefit the poor and backward sections of the Muslim community who have long remained on the margins.

He criticized attempts by certain groups to mislead the Muslim community by spreading misinformation about the bill, suggesting it would harm them. “The Modi government truly wants to uplift Indian Muslims, helping them rise from poverty and walk on the path of progress,” Khan said.

He emphasized that the Prime Minister is working with the spirit of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas” (Together with all, Development for all, Trust of all) and wants Muslims to excel in every field.

Khan strongly criticized the Congress party, claiming it has historically used Muslims merely as a vote bank. “For 50 years, Congress has misled Muslims in the name of the Waqf Board and is now making noise because their ‘shop of loot’ is being shut down,” he added.

He further mentioned that the new amendments would benefit not just the poor and backward Muslims, but also women. He accused Congress of deliberately not implementing the Sachar Committee report to prevent the upliftment of Muslims. “Today, Indian Muslims are aware and have full faith in Prime Minister Modi,” Khan concluded.

It has just been released on Ultra Play OTT and has earned the tag of being the most popular film till date.  The film stars famous actor Ravi Kishan’s daughter Riva Kishan in the lead role and alongside her are well-known actors like Anup Jalota (cameo), Shruti Ulfat, Deepshikha. Her short film ‘Celebrate Life’ has been honored with the 14th Global Captain of the Ship’ Award.

The director of this film is Dr. Ravikala Gupta. Dr. Ravikala Gupta has been honored with a doctorate degree by Central Christian University of America. Dr. Ravikala has produced many short films and advertising films. She has garnered a lot of accolades for her directorial skills. Her short films are Celebrate Life, Aji Sunte Ho, Coffee etc. She has also directed ad films for many famous brands like Marshall Wallpaper, TVS Bike. She entered the film industry as an actress. She acted in actor Manoj Kumar’s TV series “Kahan Gaye Wo Log”, Bhojpuri film “Hamar Dulha”. She is multi-talented, so she kept paying attention to the nuances of story, script and direction along with acting, then she started directing stories written by herself. In this way she came into writing and direction.

Dr. Ravikala Gupta is an expert in classical dance Bharatnatyam. Currently she is working on her script and soon she will also shoot it on camera. The story of her film Token of Treasure is a comedy drama which is threaded in the dreams and boundaries of a middle class family. Dr. Ravikala Gupta says that she likes making films based on real events, political and social thrillers and current events. At the same time she says that film is a means of entertainment, you should not try to adopt the story, dialogue or scene of every film in your real life. Enjoy entertainment and be happy. Because film can be a mirror of life but not life. Regarding the films being made in the present time, she says that the films of today are misleading the young generation.

The scenes, dialogues and the images of the actors shown on the screen are misleading the youth. Today we cannot watch most of the films with our family on TV or in theatres. In the blind race of modernity, man has left humanity and culture behind. Dr. Ravikala Gupta has made her daughter Khushi Gupta study law and has given her a chance in her films respecting her desire to act. She told that an actor is bound by the limits of his character and a director lives the entire character. He is the pilot of a ship who is responsible for building it, decorating it, who will do what work there, in which direction the ship will go.

~ “Ye Dil. Dimag. Data Ka Game Hai” introduces fans to a world of data, discipline, and decision-making~

India’s leading sports trading platform, SportsBaazi, has launched its latest campaign, “Ye Dil. Dimag. Data Ka Game Hai”, spotlighting World Cup winner, life coach, motivational speaker, and now sports trader, Robin Uthappa. The campaign goes beyond a promotional exercise to build awareness and trust in sports trading as a strategic, skill-based format, tapping into the emotional, intellectual, and analytical fabric of modern-day sports fans.

Launched in sync with the IPL 2025 season, the campaign positions sports trading as a new-age engagement model where fans shift from passive viewership to active participation by trading on live match moments. With Robin Uthappa at the forefront, the campaign challenges stereotypes around sports trading by showcasing the sport as a field of discipline, data, and decision-making—not just chance.

Known for his fearless gameplay and strategic batting approach, Robin embodies the very ethos of a sports trader- sharp, analytical, and composed under pressure. In a series of campaign films, Robin educates traders about the thought process one needs to employ during trading in live match moments, drawing from deep game knowledge and real-time insights.

Robin Uthappa, said, “What attracted me to this campaign was the philosophy behind it. I’ve always believed that great performance on the field or in life comes down to clarity, preparation, and discipline. Sports trading is a game of insight, pattern recognition, and strategic timing. I see it as a natural evolution for the serious sports fan. If my journey can inspire even a few to explore it with the right mindset, I’ll consider it a win.”

Puneet Dua, Chief Marketing Officer, SportsBaazi, said “This campaign is not just about awareness—it’s about sparking a movement. At SportsBaazi, our vision is to legitimize sports trading as India’s next big skill-based format. We’re building a space for serious sports fans—those who bring intellect, preparation, and strategy to their gameplay. Robin Uthappa’s evolution from cricketer to life coach to sports trader perfectly aligns with the mindset we want to cultivate — composed, thoughtful, and data driven. With IPL 2025 energizing the nation, we’re excited to amplify this narrative across India’s sports-loving heartland.”

But Uthappa’s role goes far deeper than screen presence. In creative workshops with the SportsBaazi team, he reimagined the platform’s core slogan. “While we began with ‘Dil. Dimag. Data’, Robin added a fourth ‘D’: Discipline. That struck a chord. So much so, it became the name of our flagship podcast — Dimag. Data. Discipline — hosted in collaboration with him,” added Dua.

The campaign films will be live across digital platforms including JioCinema, YouTube, and Instagram—especially targeting Tier-II and Tier-III audiences with rising digital access and deeply passionate affinity towards sport. With IPL 2025 as the cultural backdrop, SportsBaazi is not just marketing a product, it’s championing a cultural shift, turning cricket fans into active sports traders who trade with heart, mind, and method.
