A confrontation between two individuals at the Dawat-e-Ramzan exhibition held at King’s Palace became dangerously intense when shots were reportedly fired. The event, organized by Anam Mirza, sister of tennis star Sania Mirza, is a well-known attraction in Hyderabad during the Ramadan season.

The altercation occurred on Saturday, March 29, when a man allegedly discharged two rounds during a dispute between the owners of a perfume shop and a toy shop at the expo. Authorities were alerted and quickly apprehended the suspect, confiscating the weapon he used for the shooting.

According to the Inspector from Gudimalkapur police station, the skirmish stemmed from a minor disagreement between the two shop owners, which was in the process of being resolved. However, during this dispute, the accused, identified as Hassebuddin, fired two shots into the air using his licensed pistol. The police are currently investigating the circumstances that led to the gunfire and have filed a case under the Arms Act.

Interestingly, Hassebuddin, also known as Hyder, is not connected to either shop owner involved in the dispute. He is a former local leader (Sarpanch) residing in the AC Guards Paramount Colony and holds a valid gun license issued in Nampally.

Hyderabad is home to various exhibitions and food festivals during Ramadan, with Anam Mirza’s Dawat-e-Ramzan being one of the most popular. The expo features over 400 retail stalls and 60 food brands, making it one of the largest events celebrating the month.

Anam Mirza, who has been a fashion curator since 2012 and operates her own YouTube channel, has made a significant impact in the community through her work. The Dawat-e-Ramzan expo provides employment to more than 3,000 individuals during Ramadan and attracts over 250,000 visitors within just 11 days of its operation.

Hardik Pandya, the captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI), has found himself in the spotlight after being fined ₹12 lakh for his team’s slow over rate during their recent clash against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad. This match was part of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season and took place at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday, March 29. The Mumbai Indians, who have a storied history as five-time champions, faced a tough challenge in this encounter, ultimately losing by 36 runs.

The IPL issued a statement the following day, confirming the penalty imposed on Pandya. It read, “Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has been fined after his team maintained a slow over rate during Match No. 9 of the TATA Indian Premier League 2025 against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.” The statement further clarified that as this was the team’s first offense of the season under Article 2.2 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct—pertaining to minimum over-rate offenses—Pandya was subject to this financial sanction.

In the match itself, Gujarat Titans managed to post a formidable total of 196 runs. The pitch in Ahmedabad, known for its black soil, presented a challenging environment for the chasing team. In response, the Mumbai Indians struggled significantly, finishing their innings at 160 for six, which reflected their difficulties in keeping up with the required run rate. This loss not only marked a setback for MI in this match but also highlighted their ongoing struggles, as it was their second consecutive defeat in the tournament, leaving them without a win thus far.

This incident raises questions about team dynamics and strategy, especially for a franchise as prestigious as the Mumbai Indians. With the season still in its early stages, there is hope among the fans and team management that they can turn their fortunes around in the upcoming matches. However, the fine serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining over rates and adhering to the regulations established by the league. As they look forward, the Mumbai Indians will need to regroup and find ways to execute their strategies more effectively if they wish to reclaim their dominance in the IPL.

Tamannaah Bhatia is celebrating a significant milestone as “Baahubali: The Beginning” turns 10 this year. The film, directed by SS Rajamouli, not only redefined Indian cinema but became a cultural phenomenon that few could have predicted. Released on July 10, 2015, with Prabhas in the lead role, it marked a groundbreaking moment for the Telugu film industry, as it was the first Telugu movie to receive a worldwide release in Hindi.

Bhatia, who embodied the fierce warrior Avantika in the epic saga, reflected on the film’s profound impact. “Baahubali was a magical movie that changed everything for us. I don’t think any of us could have foreseen what that film would achieve,” she said in an interview with PTI. “Its influence on us—not just on me as an actor, but for the entire country and film industry—is something that feels unforgettable and historic.”

This year is particularly special for the 35-year-old actress, as she also marks her 20th anniversary in the industry. Having made her acting debut in the 2005 Hindi film “Chand Sa Roshan Chehra,” Bhatia has carved out a successful career across multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. Her filmography features notable titles such as “Happy Days,” “Kalloori,” “Devi,” “Aranmanai 4,” and the upcoming release “Odela 2.”

Bhatia expressed a sense of renewal and excitement as she reflected on her journey. “It actually takes 20 years for creative people to truly find themselves and hone their craft. In my case, that rings particularly true since I started very young. I genuinely feel that I’m just beginning my path,” she noted. “I’m going to make each day count, striving to offer the audience something special to watch every time.”

Her comments encapsulate both her gratitude for the opportunities she has had and her ambition for the future, as she continues to evolve as an artist in the vibrant landscape of Indian cinema. As she celebrates these milestones, Bhatia is more determined than ever to make her mark in the industry.
