by Pabitra Mohan Senapaty

Bhubaneswar, May 17: BJP leader and MP Anubhav Mohanty on Friday said many leaders will quit the BJD after June 4, the day of vote counting when the BJP will get clear mandates to form government at the Centre and Odisha as well.

Addressing a Press conference, Mohanty narrated how he was being exploited in the BJD in the last couple of years. He said his marriage discord was unnecessarily politicized and his father's certificate submission issue was fabricated. He said he was chased by BJD leaders up to his shooting sets and he was not allowed to work for the people of Kendrapara during his MP stint.

The actor-turned-politician said he has always upheld the pride of Odisha during his stints as Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha MP.

Stating that he would never tolerate any damage to the Odia Asmita and Odia pride, Mohanty termed Pandian as a 'Kalapahada'.

He said many leaders in BJD are unhappy over the party's functioning.

"The way the BJD is functioning now has angered many leaders. Now the BJD is being led by another person. Many BJD leaders will quit the BJD after June 4," he asserted.

by Hemanta Pande

Brandenburg, May 17: Tvesa Malik and amateur Avani Prashanth were the top Indians after the first day at the Amundi German Masters. The duo shot even par 72 each and were Tied-18th as the remaining five Indians in the field faced varying fortunes.

Diksha Dagar and Pranavi Urs carded 2-over 74 each and were T-44. However, at one time Pranavi was T-3 as she reached 2-under with the help of two eagles in her round. A triple bogey at the finish cost her dearly.

Vani Kapoor and Sneha Singh shot 3-over 75 each to be T-62 and Amandeep Drall, playing her first LET event of the season was T-79 with 4-over 76.

Germany’s Patricia Isabel Schmidt fired an opening round of 68 (-4) to lead by one shot at the end of the first day. The German star, who grew up near Stuttgart, began her first round from the 10th tee at Golf & Country Club Seddiner See with the wind in full force.

Schmidt made a double bogey on her first hole, however, she soon recovered rolling in birdies on holes 12, 17 and 18 to make the turn in 35 (-1).

The 28-year-old, who won the 2023 Belgian Ladies Open on the LET, then made three more birdies on holes one, six and eight for her 68 and leads her home tournament on four-under-par.

Two players sit in a tie for second place just one shot further back with Austria’s Emma Spitz and Swedish amateur Meja Örtengren both on three-under-par. They shot 3-under 69 each.

Three-time LET winner Försterling, who is from Berlin, had a slower start and was two-over after 10 holes but had an excellent finish with four birdies in her final six holes for a round of 70 (-2).

Tvesa had four birdies and four bogeys and Avani had the same.

Pranavi, a former Order of Merit winner on Women’s Pro Golf Tour, began on the tenth with bogeys on the 10th and the 11th, but she then eagled the Par-5 12th and the Par-5 16th. A dropped shot on 17th meant she turned in 1-under 35. After five pars from the first to the fifth, she birdied the sixth to go 2-under but dropped a shot on the seventh and then had a triple bogey on the Par-4 ninth, her closing hole.

Diksha, who was Tied-third at the event last year, had two birdies against four bogeys for her 74.(IANS)

Farah Khan Says Children Prefer Entertainment Over Messages In Films

by Hemanta Pande

Mumbai, May 17: Filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan shared how kids love to watch entertaining films and they don't want messages to be told all the time through films.

Farah, who was present at the launch of the trailer of the upcoming film 'Chhota Bheem and the Curse of Damyaan' on Friday shared her views on making more kids-friendly films.

The 'Main Hoon Na' director said: "Whatever films I have made, it was loved by the kids. It doesn't need to be said to be a kid's friendly film to invite kids to watch the film. Kids love entertainment. They do not want messages to be told. They have schools for that. So, the real challenge is to make entertaining films that children can watch."

Talking about the trailer of 'Chhota Bheem' she added: "It is a fantastic trailer. We all are Chhota Bheem fans. Indian kids need a home-grown superhero. Otherwise, we are always taking them to watch English films like Avengers, and Harry Potter. This is the first live-action film for kids. I want to congratulate the whole team for this film."
