Karan Tacker calls it `most disturbing experience` on being a part of Bhay

When a project creates an impact, you’d expect everyone to be thrilled and eagerly waiting to dive right into another season. However, in a chat with mid-day, Karan Tacker — who has recently starred in Amazon MX Player’s Bhay: The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery — admits he is actually terrified that the horror biopic, based on Abhirup Dhar’s book Ghost Hunter Gaurav Tiwari: The Life and Legacy of India’s Foremost Paranormal Investigator, might be renewed for another season. After laughing it off (but only slightly), he tells us why the show ranks among the bravest decisions of his career and his eerie brushes with the paranormal. Excerpts from the interview: Before the show, did you know about Tiwari?No, I actually didn’t. So when this show was offered to me, I did exactly what [anyone would] do ...

Retirement planning top priority in India, actual preparedness lags: Report

Even as most Indians are busy working hard during their adult years, they are thinking about their retirement, not only to enjoy a good time off work, but also to be financially prepared so that they don`t face any difficulty in the future.Retirement planning has been ranked as Indians’ first financial priority even as actual preparedness or a plan in place collapsed to 37 per cent from 67 per cent in 2023, a report said on October 29.

The shift reflects a broader change in financial planning from fear‑driven security to aspiration‑driven ambition, blending protection with progress and lifestyle freedom, i...

The reason is the overuse of antibiotics. Especially in India,...

Hidden hormonal disorders are silently damaging male fertility, warn experts

Hormonal disorders in men are becoming a major yet hidden cause of infertility. While many people associate hormones mainly with women’s health, men also rely on a delicate balance of hormones such as testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid hormones to produce healthy sperm. When these hormones fall out of balance, the body’s ability to make sperm reduces sharply. Doctors say many men ignore early signs because the symptoms are mild or confused with stress, ageing, or lifestyle issues. As a result, fertility problems appear much later, making treatment harder and longer. Hormonal disorders lower testosterone, which reduces sperm production and sexual drive. Thyroid imbalances (hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism) disrupt metabolism and sperm q...

Anti-obesity drive, generic drugs to remain key focus in 2026

From changing the definition to the rise of GLP-1 medications, and the government’s several initiatives, especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s clarion call, obesity became the focus of healthcare in India in 2025. The anti-obesity drive, especially the generic drugs, will continue to remain a key focus in 2026. Traditionally, Body Mass Index (BMI) was used to define obesity, but after 15 long years, India revamped its obesity guidelines in 2025 by lowering the threshold for obesity to 25 kg/m² (down from the international 30 kg/m²), with "overweight" defined between 23.0 and 24.9 kg/m². The new approach focused on abdominal obesity and comorbid diseases, rather than just BMI. With this, the clinical focus shifted from BMI to waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio (W-HtR) to ...

Noah Schnapp says child actors need therapy as they live an `abnormal life`

Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp, who has been in the career as a child actor for nearly a decade, believes child actors need therapy, as he calls it an “abnormal life.” The actor recently revealed that after thinking he didn’t need it as a “happy-go-lucky kid,” he’s since gone to therapy, which he agrees with singer-actress Ariana Grande that it should be mandatory for children in their line of work, reports deadline.com. “It’s hard to grow up in the public eye. You don’t know yourself, you haven’t figured anything out, and now you’re expected to know everything and have all the answers,” Schnapp told USA Today. Schnapp added, “I was constantly saying the wrong things or being embarrassed by not taking certain things seriously that I should’ve, and then that lives on forever. People g...
