While Twinkle Khanna continues to make waves in the world of writing and cinema as the wife of Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, her sister Rinke Khanna has chosen a quieter life away from the limelight. The younger daughter of legendary actor Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, Rinke married Sameer Saran, a London-based businessman, in 2003.

Rinke Khanna entered Bollywood following in the footsteps of her parents and sister. Though she starred in films like Jis Desh Mein Ganga Rehta Hai, Yeh Hai Jalwa, Jhankaar Beats, and Chameli, her career didn’t take off. After a string of unsuccessful releases, she stepped away from the industry and chose to settle abroad post marriage.

Who is Sameer Saran?

Sameer Saran, Rinke’s husband, is a successful businessman with ventures in India and the UK. As per reports, he has been a partner in a real estate firm with operations in Mumbai, Goa, Kolkata, and Bengaluru, while also running his business out of London. Despite maintaining a low public profile, his reported net worth of Rs 250 crore places him among India’s financially elite entrepreneurs.

Unlike his brother-in-law Akshay Kumar, who remains a household name, Sameer Saran has no connection with the film industry. However, in terms of wealth and status, he stands at par. Together with Rinke, he leads a private and comfortable life in the UK.

The Khanna family and their next generation

The couple is parents to two children, and recently, their daughter Naomika Saran was spotted alongside her grandmother Dimple Kapadia in Mumbai. This has sparked speculation about Naomika’s potential debut in the film industry, drawing interest from media and fans alike.

From superstar beginnings to a peaceful life abroad, Rinke Khanna’s journey showcases a conscious shift from Bollywood glamour to personal fulfillment.

In a significant setback for Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi, the Supreme Court of India has ruled that his action of withholding assent and subsequently reserving 10 key Bills for the President was “illegal” and “arbitrary.” The court sided with the MK Stalin-led state government, asserting that the Governor failed to act in good faith.

A bench comprising Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice R Mahadevan declared that the Governor’s decision to reserve the re-passed Bills for the President’s consideration was constitutionally impermissible. The court said all such actions by the Governor “are set aside,” and the 10 Bills in question “shall be deemed to be cleared from the date they were re-presented to him.”

Citing Article 200 of the Constitution, the bench emphasized that while Governors do have limited discretion — such as giving assent, withholding it, or reserving a Bill — once a Bill is re-passed by the Assembly, the Governor must give assent and cannot further delay or reserve it again. The ruling reinforces that a Governor cannot act on personal opinion or political preference when the democratic will of the legislature is clear.

The judgment also prescribed strict timelines to prevent indefinite delays by Governors. The court stated that a Governor must act on a Bill within one month — either by giving assent, withholding assent, or reserving it for the President’s consideration with the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers.

Judicial scrutiny for future delays

Highlighting the misuse of discretion, the Supreme Court warned that any failure to act within this stipulated timeframe would invite judicial scrutiny. The ruling is expected to have nationwide implications, especially in states where confrontations between Raj Bhavans and elected governments have become frequent.

This verdict is widely seen as a win for federalism and legislative supremacy, reinforcing the accountability of constitutional authorities to the elected governments they serve.

The much-anticipated trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has finally dropped, and it’s a nostalgic, action-packed ride that sets the stage for what may be Ethan Hunt’s final mission. Starring Tom Cruise, the film is slated for release on May 23.

The two-minute trailer opens with a familiar sight: Ethan Hunt clinging to an aircraft mid-flight — a signature move that has come to define the franchise. As scenes from past missions flash across the screen, a voice questions, “This can’t all be true,” setting a dramatic tone for the explosive finale.

The trailer is loaded with throwbacks to earlier Mission: Impossible films, including scenes from the 1996 original directed by Brian De Palma. These nostalgic cuts, combined with intense new sequences, aim to deliver an emotionally charged conclusion to Ethan Hunt’s decades-long journey.

The stakes have never been higher. A rogue artificial intelligence called ‘The Entity’ now threatens global stability. Ethan’s past actions come under scrutiny, as he is portrayed as someone too dangerous to remain unchallenged. As the team grapples with betrayal and disappearing trust, Ethan pleads with them to believe in him “one last time.”

A powerful voiceover underlines the gravity of the story: “Everything you were, everything you’ve done, has come to this. When the need for certainty is absolute and the odds are deemed impossible, the mission falls to him, should he choose to accept.”

Star-studded cast returns

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film features a star ensemble including Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, and Esai Morales. Their presence in the trailer teases layered dynamics and intense showdowns, while also hinting at emotional farewells.

Tom Cruise, who has portrayed Ethan Hunt since the franchise’s inception nearly three decades ago, shared the trailer on Instagram with the caption: “Every choice, every mission, has all led to this. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.”

Fans can expect jaw-dropping stunts, high-octane chases, emotional closure, and the return of everything that made the franchise iconic.
