Chitrangda Singh believes talent has no gender: `Playing the woman card is…`

Chitrangda Singh is having a great start to the year. It began with Khakee: The Bengal Chapter this week and is currently shooting for the Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer Raat Akeli Hai 2. The Honey Trehan directorial venture is the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2020 film. The first instalment was a taut murder mystery that kept audiences guessing until the end. While details about the sequel remain under wraps, Singh teases, “The world of Raat Akeli Hai is dark and twisted, and this time, we’re taking things a notch higher. Expect more intrigue and secrets.” The actor claims that the role is so intense that it often takes time to get in and out of it.

Screen use during bedtime may raise insomnia risk by 59 per cent: Study

Love to scroll your phone while in bed? Scientists have found that using a screen in bed can drive your risk of insomnia by 59 per cent. While sleep is critical to mental and physical health, an increasing number of people are accustomed to using screens in bed. The study by researchers from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health in Norway showed it may be associated with poor sleep. While social media is seen to be more associated with poorer sleep because of its interactive nature and potential for emotional stimulation, a survey of 45,202 young adults, aged between 18-28 years old, in Norway showed that the type of screen activity did not matter. "We found no significant differences between social media and other screen activities, suggesting that screen use itself is the key facto...

Study decodes who actually needs statin medication to lower cholesterol

A new study in the US aims to determine the best method to screen and evaluate patients who are at risk of developing coronary heart disease and which patients would benefit from taking a statin medication to lower cholesterol. A new approach by researchers at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City to determining risk and selecting a statin is the use of the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score which is determined by taking a low-radiation dose image of the heart using computed tomography (CT) to look for calcium deposits in plaques in the heart’s coronary arteries. “Our study is now fully enrolled with over 5,600 patients, and in this abstract for the American College of Cardiology, we wanted to look at baseline characteristics and differences in statin prescribing recommendations,” sai...

Vikramaditya Motwane: ‘You don’t have as much autonomy when dealing with OTTs’

For Vikramaditya Motwane, 2025 began with his show, Black Warrant, winning praise. What added to his joy is that the prison drama gave its leading man Zahan Kapoor his big break. The creator-director is impressed that the actor is keeping a low profile despite the series’ success. “I love that. Everybody presumes things about him, and wonders where this guy had been. They forget that he has been working in theatre for the last 10 years. I feel he’ll be judicious about the [projects] he’ll pick because he has a firm head on his shoulders,” says Motwane. The Netflix prison drama was praised for its storytelling as well as performances. But Motwane believes there is more to learn from Black Warrant. The creator hopes that it can serve as a model for the making of web series in India. He brea...

Yes, it’s sometimes a bit irritating while skin is acclimatising, and yes, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to skin health – but few ingredients are as thoroughly tested or as heavily endorsed as retinol, for good reason; it gets results, often in the form of plumper, smoother skin.As one of its most vocal champions, Caroline Hirons’ approach to retinol in her own range has been a godsend for those who find choosing one baffling. Here, she explains everything you need to know about using a retinol to demystify skincare’s most talked about ingredient.How does retinol impact the skin?“The retinoid family, also known as vitamin A, is the gold standard ingredient for improving the appearanc...

Liberals continue lead over Tories after 1st week of Canada election: poll – National

The Liberals continue to lead the Conservatives among voters after the first week of the federal election campaign, a new poll suggests, but the two parties are tied on who will best handle what’s seen as the top issue: affordability and the cost of living. The latest Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News shows both the Liberals and new party leader Mark Carney are continuing to pick up momentum since the election began last Sunday. The Conservatives have also gained ground, to the detriment of the New Democrats and Bloc Quebecois.The poll found 44 per cent of decided voters would vote for the Liberals, up two points from polling conducted a week before the election. The Conservatives earned 38 per cent support, also up two points, while the NDP has dropped one point to nine per...
