The Dependable Mr. Khurrana

After a career resurrection of sorts in 2017, Ayushmann Khurrana knocked it out of the park last year, delivering two smashing performances (Andhadhun, Badhaai Ho) in films that won over critics and the box office. From the ‘common man’ representative to becoming one of the poster boys of quality — and commercially viable — cinema, Khurrana has proved that he has enough acting muscle to shoulder solo projects. This year, he has a number of releases, making him possibly the busiest actor in the industry. He’s bringing in the new age of Bollywood — intelligent, socially conscious and dedicated to the medium.

The Making Of Virat Kohli

At the age of 30, Virat Kohli is already one of the all-time great batsmen, terrorising bowlers and shattering batting records in every format of the game, in every corner of the cricketing world. Every behemoth started somewhere, though, and for Kohli, his beginnings were in the rough-and-tumble of Delhi’s age-grade and domestic cricket circuits. Even as a 10-year old at his first cricket coaching camp, his special talent was recognised by coaches and experienced players alike. In this excerpt from their book Virat: The Making Of A Champion, journalists Neeraj Jha and Vidhanshu Kumar illustrate the young Kohli’s immense potential.

The Men Who Are Gay For Pay

Young male models and struggling actors — who are straight — are willing to go ‘gay-for-pay’ on various LGBT dating and hookup apps in the country. While prostitution has always been a hush-hush affair on these apps, for the last two years, it has become a rather prominent feature. This might be because of a dearth of paid gigs and sky-high living costs in big cities, but is it also a marker for a paradigm shift in sexuality and sexual behaviour?

The new Hyundai Venue is more than just another compact SUV. Blue Link, its standout feature, allows a host of key functions — including engine start, location tracking, speed, tyre pressure, remote lock, engine immobilization — to be monitored and controlled from a smartphone app.
