During an interview with Anil Kapoor, Legends Unplugged, Nana Patekar was questioned about the roots of his anger. The Krantiveer actor clarified that his reactions stem from others' misbehaviour, not inherent anger. Anil advised resolving conflicts with love instead of violence, but Nana countered that love requires a receptive state, which isn’t possible when dealing with intoxicated individuals. Kapoor expressed concern that Nana’s temper could deter filmmakers, urging him to change his image. However, now 74, Nana doubted whether such a change was possible at his age.

Kamala Harris spent a remarkable $1.5 billion in her hyper-compressed 15-week presidential campaign. But in the days since losing to President-elect Donald Trump, her operation has faced questions internally and externally over where exactly all that cash went. Despite her significant financial advantage, Harris became the first Democratic presidential candidate to lose the national popular vote in two decades, ceding every battleground state to Trump. Her cash-rich campaign spared no expense as it hunted for voters — paying for an avalanche of advertising, social-media influencers, a for-hire door-knocking operation, thousands of staff, pricey rallies, a splashy Oprah town hall, celebrity concerts and even drone shows.

Vikrant Massey had to sell his mobile phone in order to afford a trip to Goa. In a recent interview, the ‘12th Fail’ star reminisced about how he experienced a shortage in funds when he was a struggling artiste and had to eventually part ways with his mobile phone. “I had just started earning, and I took Rs 5000 with me. I went with my friends in a Volvo bus. It was the last night of the trip, and we used to split all expenses back then. Like, if we bought a cold drink for Rs 20, we’d split it Rs 10 each. At the time of checkout, we had all exhausted our money. We needed to pay the hotel bill. I had a mobile phone, so I sold it to settle the bill and buy return tickets to Mumbai for all my friends,” he said. In a conversation with journalist Faye D’Souza, Vikrant Massey reflected on witnessing his parents’ financial struggles during his childhood. He shared that his family, once part of a wealthy household, faced a dramatic turn of events when a family dispute resulted in their eviction.

Foxconn, which employs thousands of women at the iPhone factory at Sriperumbudur, near Chennai, outsources recruitment of assembly-line workers to third-party vendors. These agents scout for and screen candidates, who ultimately are interviewed and selected by Foxconn.
