Prateek Yadav, the younger son of late Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav and half-brother of Akhilesh Yadav, has died suddenly in Lucknow at the age of 38. According to the postmortem report, Prateek Yadav died due to cardiorespiratory collapse caused by massive pulmonary thromboembolism. His body was taken to KGMU for autopsy under tight security and videography surveillance. Akhilesh Yadav, while mourning his half-brother’s death, hinted that business-related stress may have affected him in recent months. 

What if a celebrated Bollywood film almost never saw the light of day? Farhan Akhtar recently opened up about how the script of Luck By Chance — written in the early 2000s by Zoya Akhtar — lay dormant for seven years. Even though the story was ready, they couldn’t find a willing lead actor. Multiple stars rejected it. Finally, after years of struggle and uncertainty, Farhan decided to don the lead role himself — turning a stalled dream into a film that went on to resonate deeply with those who understand the harsh realities of making it in Bollywood. Here’s why the film’s journey to release was as dramatic as the struggle it portrayed. He also opened up about his very first date with Shibani Dandekar. Here’s how a painfully still first date turned into one of Bollywood’s most talked-about love stories."
