Sharan Hegde’s financial education platform, The 1% Club, has recently received a special license from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). This license allows them to give investment advice and help people with their financial planning. With this approval, The 1% Club is now one of the first platforms run by “finfluencers” to get SEBI’s Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) license.

In an Instagram post, Sharan shared the exciting news, saying, “We are officially SEBI-registered as an RIA! This important license allows us to manage more than ₹750 Crore in investments!” He has been teaching people about financial planning for the last four years and has reached over 5 lakh students through live sessions. Now, with SEBI’s approval, he feels it’s time to put his knowledge into practice and manage people’s money with his team of over 45 experts.

Sharan highlighted a big problem in India. The SEBI chairman mentioned that India needs 1 million RIAs to help everyone with their financial needs, but currently, there are only about 1,300. He compared this to having only one doctor for every 10 lakh people, saying it shows that India needs many more qualified financial advisors. He believes that having so few advisors is like a national emergency when it comes to managing people’s hard-earned money.

According to NiftyStat, Sharan’s startup plans to expand to several Indian cities in the future and aims for more SEBI licenses.

Today, a US military plane carrying Indian immigrants who were in the country illegally landed in Amritsar, India. This is the first time such a deportation has happened during Donald Trump’s second term as president. The aircraft flew from San Antonio, Texas, to Shri Guru Ramdas Ji International Airport in Amritsar, Punjab.

As news spread, images of people in handcuffs began to circulate on social media, suggesting these were the returning Indian immigrants. In some pictures, men were seen with handcuffs and chains around their ankles, and their faces were covered with masks. Many social media users expressed anger and sadness over these images, calling it a shocking sight.

However, a closer look reveals that these photos do not show the Indian immigrants from today’s flight. In fact, they are from a previous deportation where migrants were sent back to Guatemala on January 30. The images of men with their ankles chained together were first shared by the Associated Press and are not related to today’s arrival in Amritsar.

The A.P. report mentioned that the US military is increasingly helping with immigration enforcement, and similar flights carrying deported people have gone to various countries including Guatemala, Ecuador, and Colombia.

In a surprising series of videos, a man was caught stealing women’s lingerie from a drying rack. The incident was recorded on CCTV and shocked many people. After he realized he was being filmed, he returned the stolen items.

Elyvi Lim, a Facebook user from Singapore, shared the videos and expressed her disgust. She didn’t know why her underwear was going missing until she set up a camera to find out. That’s when she saw the man taking her clothes. “I have been missing my things for a while until I finally figured it out,” she wrote, asking anyone who recognized him to reach out. “This guy saw the camera and put my things back!”

In one clip, the thief sneaks up to the drying rack, takes some lingerie, and puts it in his pants before walking away. Then, he notices the camera and looks cautious. Another video shows him peeking from behind a door as he checks for the camera, and eventually, he walks back to return the stolen items.

The videos spread quickly across social media, drawing angry comments. One Instagram user said, “I lost three sets of my new underwear. Now I never dry my clothes outside.” Another added, “What if the owner wore them without knowing?” A third commenter stated, “That’s disgusting; I’d throw them away.”

Local news reports that the police have arrested a 27-year-old man linked to the theft and are investigating the situation further.

In Surat, a couple named Rahul Mahto and Anjali Kumari were supposed to get married at a place called Lakshmi Hall. However, during the wedding, the groom’s family got upset because there wasn’t enough food for their guests. Most of the wedding rituals were almost done when the groom’s family decided they didn’t want to continue the wedding anymore.

Feeling sad and confused, Anjali’s family went to the police for help. They explained that Rahul still wanted to marry Anjali, even though his family was against it. The police brought both families to the police station to solve the issue. After some discussion, the groom’s family agreed to continue with the wedding, but Anjali’s family was worried another fight might happen if they went back to the venue.

To keep the peace and help the couple, the police allowed them to finish their marriage rituals right there in the police station. DCP Alok Kumar said the police wanted to help because they cared about Anjali’s future. In the end, the couple got married at the police station, thanks to the police’s intervention.

Yesterday, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium was packed with VIPs for the fifth T20 match between India and England. Some well-known faces there included Mukesh Ambani, his son Akash Ambani, Infosys founder Narayana Murthy, former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, billionaire Ajay Piramal, and Rajeev Shukla.

Rajeev Shukla, who is a member of the Rajya Sabha and Vice President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), was seen enjoying the match, sitting alongside the Ambanis and Rishi Sunak. His presence once again sparked funny comments about him being “everywhere.”

Just last month, Shukla was also in the spotlight after being seen with Coldplay’s Chris Martin. People jokingly called him the “Orry of politics” and flooded social media with memes about him.

Later, Rajeev Shukla posted pictures of himself with Rishi Sunak on X (formerly Twitter). He wrote, “Had a lovely meeting with former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak & his father-in-law Narayan Murthy. Rishi is not only a great person but was also a very effective PM of the UK.”

His post made many followers laugh as they commented on his seemingly unlimited presence at events.

One user said, “Omnipresent Shukla ji with Rishi Sunak.” Another joked, “Shukla ji, you’re everywhere!” and someone else said, “No rest day for Shukla sahab!”

People also praised his networking skills. One person commented, “If there were a Nobel Prize for networking, it should go to Rajeev Shukla. His warm personality naturally draws people to him.

A stunning medieval castle that looks like it came from a storybook is for sale in the UK for the first time in nearly 700 years! Ripley Castle, near Harrogate in North Yorkshire, is listed for £21 million (about ₹225 crore). If it sells at this price, it could become one of the most expensive homes sold outside London.

A Beautiful Estate

The castle has a huge 445-acre estate with a lovely lake, a pub, a helipad, and lots of parking. It can be bought as nine separate pieces or as one big property! The estate also features a cricket field, a hotel, a tea room, a gift shop, and a wedding venue that many people love. This makes it a highly sought-after property!

A Family’s Long History

Sir Thomas Ingilby, the current owner, has cared for the castle with his wife, Lady Ingilby, for many years. The Ingilby family has owned Ripley Castle since around 1308 when Sir Thomas Ingilby (1290–1352) married Edeline Thwenge, who brought the castle as part of her marriage deal. Their son, also named Thomas, was a hero who saved King Edward III’s life from a wild boar and was named a knight for his bravery.

Why They’re Selling the Castle

After taking care of Ripley Castle for over 50 years, Sir Thomas and Lady Ingilby are ready to say goodbye. “Some days we feel cheerful about it, and some days we feel sad for what we will miss,” said Sir Thomas. “I’ve devoted my life to this place and have other things I want to do.” The couple, who have four grandchildren, wishes to travel once the castle is sold.

Special Memories

Reflecting on their time at the castle, Lady Ingilby said: “We’ve had many moving events here. Walking around the gardens by the lake, we often see deer drinking as the flowers smell sweet—they make it feel magical

A woman from New York named Emily Bonani recently shared a surprising video of her unique bathroom sink-toilet combo, and many people online are shocked. She lives in a small apartment, paying $2,000 a month (about ₹1,73,382), and her bathroom has a strange design aimed at saving space.

In her viral TikTok video, she shows how the sink is placed right above the toilet’s flush tank. The unusual part? You can only use the sink when the toilet is flushed! Emily jokes in her video that this might be the smallest bathroom in New York City and challenges viewers to find a smaller one. “What if I want to flush the toilet but not turn on the sink? That’s not an option!” she says.

Her video has been seen nearly 13 million times on TikTok and has received almost 43,000 likes on Instagram. Many users reacted with surprise. Some said it looked unsanitary, comparing it to a “prison toilet.” One comment read, “This looks like something from a horror movie,” while another said, “What if you don’t want to wash your hands right after flushing? Gross!”

While some people were disgusted by the setup, others understood the challenges of living in a cramped and expensive New York apartment. One user humorously wondered how it would be cleaned, while another noted how people try to make small spaces work.

Pakistani TikToker Imsha Rehman recently gave her first interview after a scandal that made her disappear from social media. Last November, fake explicit videos of her were leaked online, leading her to deactivate her accounts.

In her interview with Nukta Pakistan, Imsha said the videos are not real and explained how this incident changed her life. She shared that the Pakistani Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested someone related to this fake video case.

Imsha expressed her feelings, saying, “I felt like my life was over.” She explained how the scandal made it hard for her to go to university and face others. “I am getting a lot of death threats,” she added.

The TikToker criticized those who make fake videos, saying, “Some people think it’s fun to create videos about others, but they don’t realize the damage they cause.” She chose to take legal action instead of posting a response online.

The FIA arrested a man named Abdul Aziz from Gujranwala for making fake videos of her. He claimed he was just making a meme, but no more details have been shared by the police.

Imsha was one of several influencers in Pakistan who faced a similar issue with explicit videos online. She had to close her Instagram and TikTok accounts because the reactions were too much to handle.

On Friday in Bhopal’s Barkhedi area, a surprising event took place when a 33-year-old man, Vivek Thakur, who was drunk, climbed a mobile tower. This scared many people who were watching him. Vivek climbed to a high point and started shaking the tower, making everyone worry it might fall down. Luckily, the police got to him in time and brought him down safely without any injuries.

Quick Police Action

The incident started around 2 pm. A lot of people gathered around the tower to watch as Vivek, unsteady and intoxicated, kept climbing higher for about 20 minutes. People quickly called the police and local authorities when they realized how dangerous it was. Officers and rescue teams rushed to help him. ASI Rajendra Yadav from Jahangirabad Police Station said they acted fast in response to the emergency.

Successful Rescue and Investigation Underway

By about 2:40 pm, after talking to Vivek for some time, the rescue team managed to bring him down. Afterward, the police took him in for questioning to understand why he would do something so risky. Authorities are looking into his actions, especially since he was drunk, which raises concerns about his mental health.

Similar Case in Noida

This strange event in Bhopal reminds people of a similar situation in Noida, where another drunk man climbed a high-voltage electric tower and danced on it. Local officials also had to negotiate for hours to get him down safely.
