I’ve spent a chunk of 2025 out on the road doing sold-out speaking engagements, covering (so far) Victoria and Nanaimo, B.C., to Ottawa. Fredericton, N.B., Halifax, Toronto and Whitby, Ont., are coming up before the end of the month (only Fredericton still has tickets) and there’s talk of doing something in Quebec in more points east in the fall.

Like I tell audiences, there’s nothing like having a room full of strang...

Will it happen? Will it not? For the past six years, the question has loomed large over Student of the Year 3 (SOTY 3), which was to launch Shanaya Kapoor in Bollywood. Now, mid-day has learnt that the third instalment of the Karan Johar-backed campus caper is set to go on floors later this month.
