1. GEHLOT’S AJMER VISIT We did not make budget announcements but implemented them also: CM Gehlot Shubham Jain Ajmer: Talking to reporters in Ajmer, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that no tax was imposed in the first five budgets. “We did not mere make budget announcements but implemented them as well. We gave the people what they asked for. The announcements are so many that every section will get benefited. The atmosphere of Rahul Gandhi’s visit was spec- tacular everywhere and the countdown has be- gun for the BJP in the country. The situation of the country is criti- cal and it has to be un- derstood. If not taken care of, the situation will get worse. PM Nar- endra Modi speaks well, it is a good thing. But democracy is in danger. ED and CBI are being misused. Ten lakh families have left the country. The last weapon of BJP is polarisation,” Gehlot said.

The Lucknow Super Gi- ants and Royal Challengers Ban- galore had an intense first exchange at the Chinnaswamy, Bangalore,whereLucknowcame out on top with a last ball win. The victory was celebrated with a lot of passion by the players and their coach, Gautam Gamb- hir. The gestures didn’t go down well with the always-passionate Virat Kohli who made sure to “give it back” after Bangalore won the second match between the two teams at the Lucknow Ekana stadium a few days ago! The result was that the tem- pers flared up after the match followed by a heated altercation between ex-Indian opener, Gau- tam Gambhir and current Su- perstar, Virat Kohli. The angry duo were in such a rage that they had to be separated by fellow players. IPL authorities fined both Kohli and Gambhir 100 percent of their match fees as they were found to have breached article 2.21 of the tournament’s code of conduct and brought the game into disrepute. Lucknow bowler Naveen- ul-Haq also had an exchange of words with Kohli during the game and was fined 50 percent of his match fee. Later, in the dressing room, Kohli was seen celebrating the close victory with his team mates, in a video released by his franchise on social media. He can be heard saying, “that’s a sweet win boys. A sweet win. If you can give it, you got to take it. Otherwise, don’t give it” — a direct retort to Gambhir’s aggres- sion in the previous game. Such fiery scenarios are an integral part of sport and IPL is the biggest money spinner in cricket with increased stakes for everyone, especially the players. The heightened passion sometimes results in ugly fights on field and there are plenty of previous examples of that in the 15-year IPL history. In fact, the Delhi duo of Kohli and Gambhir were involved in a similar tussle earlier in 2013. They were both captains of their respective franchises and Gambhir at the time was leading the Kolkata Knight Riders. ABOUT 2013 In the 2013 fracas, Bangalore was chasing and Kohli was at the crease when he got out against the run of play. As he was about to leave the ground, he saw some nasty words being thrown at him from the opposition bowler. Not one to back out of any challenge, Kohli strode towards the Kolkata player when Gambhir came face to face with him and they had a severe verbal clash and could be separated only through the interven- tion of the Kolkata players. Both players were eventually fined 10 percent of the match fees. ABOUT 2008 Earlier, in the inaugural IPL season in 2008, two stars of the In- dian team, Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth were involved in a ‘slapgate’ incident. Mumbai In- dians had lost the match against Kings XI Punjab by a huge mar- gin and according to reports, Harbhajan, playing for Mumbai wassoirritatedwithSreesanth’s antics, the leading bowler for the Punjab side, that he slapped him. Thereafter, the images of Sreesanth crying went viral and the fiasco resulted in Harbhajan being banned from the rest of the season. But later, Harbhajan confirmed that they had resolved the issue between them after he apologised to Sreesanth. One of the most dramatic visuals of IPL that still keeps getting replayed on social media is of West Indian star Keiron Pollard throwing his bat at Aus- sie pacer Mitchell Starc in the 2014 edition of IPL. After Starc playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore bowled a bouncer to Mumbai Indians’ Pollard, there was an angry verbal exchange. On the next ball, as Starc ran in, Pollard backed off but Starc went ahead with the delivery. This enraged Pollard to such an extent that he threw his bat at him and Chris Gayle had to step in to cool things down.

IPL AUTHORITIES FINED KOHLI AND GAMBHIR The angry duo were in such a rage that they had to be separated by fellow players. IPL authorities fined both Kohli and Gambhir 100 percent of their match fees as they were found to have breached article 2.21 of the tournament’s code of conduct and brought the game into disrepute. Lucknow bowler Naveen-ul-Haq also had an exchange of words with Kohli during the game and was fined 50 percent of his match fee. That’s a sweet win boys. A sweet win.

Fear of going to the dentist affects over 90% of people. Dental avoidance, the noise of drills, the fear of pain, phobia, inhibition and other concerns contribute to dental stress and anxi- ety. Dr Tiwari's desire to give the most comfortable dental experience possible has motivated him to im- port and implement the latest dental technology at Impladent, Tilak Nagar, Jaipur, from the ambience to treatment rooms and dental chairs.

D ANITA HADA anita.hada@firstindianews.com Dr Archit, you are a certified sports dentist, how is it different from a regular dentist? Sports dentistry is one of the most recent and upcoming fields in dentistry. It mainly includes the prevention and management of athletics-r elated orofacial injuries and associated oral dis- eases. Customised mouthguards are fabricated for athletes so that it fits properly and saves the oral cavity from any oral injuries while playing. What attracted you to dentistry? I have acknowledged and ad- mired this profession since childhood and had the privilege to learn under the best that is my mother Dr Anjali Dave Tiwari, an ardent Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who has inspired me every day with her compassion towards patient care. What is the role of implantology in dental options for the elderly? There isn’t really any age which is considered ‘too old for dental implant treatment’. A reasona- bly healthy person can safely and predictably have implants placed resulting in a vastly im- proved quality of life, assisting them to maintain a balanced nu- tritious diet and active lifestyle; remaining every bit as confident and socially engaging as a person with their natural teeth. HEALTH PERSONALITY Boost your You have been appointed as Honorary Consultant dentist to the Hon’ble Vice President of India, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar his family, how did this happen? Hon’ble VP sir is very close to our family and in the initial days of his law practice, he use to be a close associate of my grandfather Justice VS Dave. He has been taking dental treatment from my mother Dr Anjali Dave Tiwari and now I am fortunate enough to fill her shoes as I have been appointed the Hony Consultant Dentist to Hon’Ble VP Sir. You also have a charity clinic at Jagat- pura, how did that come about and how does it function? We have our charity clinic at Jagatpura, where we treat patients for the majority of treatments obtaining zero monetary bene- fits provide some treatments at a very low and affordable cost. We started this because I used to experience regularly in my practice that many people want to get good quality treatment done and are in major pain but unfortunately, they cannot afford private clinics and face a lot of challenges in terms of hygiene and availability in getting treatment at government hospitals.

12. A nushka Shar- ma and Virat Kohli are often seen treating fans with their romantic pictures on social media. As soon as they post a picture, it takes over the Internet in no time. On Friday morning, Virat decided to surprise fans by shar- ing a beautiful picture with his wife. It seems like the power couple enjoyed an intimate dinner date in Delhi. In the picture, Anush- ka is seen sporting an orange dress featuring bal- loon sleeves while Vi- rat looked dapper in an all-black outfit. The couple always manages to complement each other. They were seen flashing their million- dollar smiles as they posed for the camera. Virat ditched a caption and instead, used red heart and infinity sign emo- jis. After he shared the picture, their fans were seen re- acting to it. he beauty mogul, Kylie Jenner, arrived at the Met Gala 2023 red carpet on Monday wearing a beautiful red gown by Haider Ackermann for Jean Paul Gaultier. This wasn't the only Ackermann-designed outfit Jenner wore that night. She also wore a black, off-the-shoulder gown later in the evening to dance the night away. The 25-year- old star’s choice of designer could be a hint to her bud- ding connection with Oscar nominee and rumoured boy- friend Timothée Chalamet who is apparently a close friend of Ackermann. The 'Dune' actor has a long relationship with Ackermann and has worn his creations to various significant occasions in the past. However, he was conspicuously absent from the gala event despite having just finished filming a Chanel commercial in NYC. ETC 11 T he Kerala Story starring Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Bala- ni has been hitting headlines for the wrong reasons. Ever since the trailer was released, the film faced massive backlash on social media. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan even slammed the makers for ‘spreading hate propaganda against the state’. On Friday, Kerala High Court refused to issue a stay order on the release of the film ‘The Kerala Story’. The petitions were filed in pursu- ance of a teaser of the film which was released recently depict- ing that innocent girls were lured and con- verted to Islam over a period of time. The pe- titioners alleged that the film, which claims to be based on true facts, is ‘false and mis- leading’ and is likely to hurt religious sentiments and spread hatred between communities in India. The petitions were first filed in Supreme Court under Article 32 of the Constitution of India. However, the Supreme Court held that it was open for the petition- ers to move to the appropriate High Court having jurisdiction. Later, the case went to Kerela High Court and Chennai High Court. Ameet Naik, Manag- ing Partner of Naik, Naik and Company represented the pro- ducers of the film Vi- pul Shah and Sunshine Pictures Pvt. Ltd. and opposed the grant of any reliefs against the release and exploita- tion of the film. Naik pointed out that the film carries a disclaimer that it is a work of fiction and does not claim ‘historical and factual accuracy’. He also pointed out that CBFC, which is a statu- tory body competent to certify films has found the film to be in con- formity with the Guidelines and fit for public exhibition. Both the courts refused to grant any relief against the filmmak- ers and the film. The Division Bench of Ker- ela High Court, after watching the teaser and trailer of the film observed that there is no allegation against Islam and there is nothing offensive to any particular community as a whole. The court also noted that the film carries an appropriate disclaimer and is certified by CBFC to be fit for public exhibition. The courts refused to grant any stay on the release and exhibition of the film. After being surrounded by controversy, the film has been finally released world- wide today .

According to The U.S. Sun, Khloe and Tristan’s son has been named Tatum Robert. Yes, that’s right! It was last month when Khloe revealed, that just like her firstborn, i.e. her daughter True’s name starts with ‘T’, she would like to name her son with something beginning with T. However, she has been hesitant to announce the name in public, especially after the drama when her sis- ter Kylie Jen- ner changed her son’s name from Wolf to Aire.
