Four Eliminated in Week One of Prime Video’s The Traitors

One Traitor and Three Innocents Down! Karan Kundrra, Lakshmi Manchu, Raj Kundra, and Sahil Salathia Are Eliminated in the Very First Week on Prime Video’s The Traitors

With three Innocents gone. And only one Traitor has been exposed. And if this chaos is any indication, trust might just be the most dangerous mistake in The Traitors.

After weeks of build-up and speculation, The Traitors has finally arrived on Prime Video and the drama  isn’t holding back. In just three explosive episodes, alliances have sparked and crumbled, murders have shaken the palace, and accusations have flown fast and fierce.

The game is merciless, and the exits are only getting more shocking. And while some exits left players heartbroken, others walked out with unfinished business.

Here’s what they had to say on their way out.

Sharing his thoughts on the ruthless nature of the game, Raj Kundra noted“Aapko kuch pata nahi chalta, kaun kiski peeth pe peeche kya bol raha hai. But that is the beauty of the show. You never know who is playing who. At one point, I suspected Janvi or Ashish Sir, then I stayed silent. I didn’t expect people like Rebel Kid, and Raftaar to actually connect the dots and turn on me. But I loved it. It is a Kalyug show, and truly the baap of all shows.”

On his elimination, Karan Kundrra remarked, “I’m used to a different format, you know, jisme thoda time lagta hai game samajhne mein. But yahan par, game samajhne se pehle hi itna kuch ho gaya. It was like being in hyperdrive. I really wish that day, if I had survived the Circle of Truth, then I would’ve gone quite far. Because this is a very different kind of game.”

Expressing her views on her being a part of the show, Lakshmi Manchu highlighted, “This format was very new for me, personally. It was my first time doing a reality show. But it was a beautiful experience. As I said, it was a wonderful experiment I did on myself, stepping into a reality series, and I’m glad I did it. I really am glad that I got to do a show with such an incredible cast and crew.”

On being murdered on the show, Sahil Salathia shared“It would never be Elnaaz who I thought would kill me. But when Raj Kundra told me on the way back that Elnaaz did, my faith in basic human love language was lost. ”

Now, with the palace steeped in paranoia and new bonds forming under pressure, all eyes are on the ones staying too quiet. Are they watching, or just waiting to strike? With suspicions deepening and secrets closing in, the palace is  about to turn colder with each episode.

Produced by BBC Studios India Productions, Prime Video brings the Indian adaptation of IDTV’s BAFTA and Emmy award-winning global format, The Traitors, in collaboration with All3Media International. The first three episodes are now streaming exclusively on Prime Video, with new episodes dropping every Thursday at 8 PM.

Rise and shine… It’s Dhokha Time!

Oasis Fertility Launches ‘Healthy Man, Happy Father’ Campaign for Father’s Day

Continued Commitment: Oasis Fertility Launches ‘Healthy Man, Happy Father’ Campaign to Celebrate the Spirit of Fatherhood 

Pune,  16 June, 2025 – After the success of its campaign – ‘Oasis Janani Yatra’, the leading fertility chain of India, Oasis Fertility continues its commitment to ‘Awareness building’ about infertility and treatment options available, with the launch of yet another unique initiative, “Happy Father’s-To-Be Day”, on the occasion of Father’s Day to celebrate the spirit of Fatherhood with a theme, “Healthy Man, Father”

Oasis Fertility LogoShockingly, 1 in every 3 men is now estimated to be struggling with infertility. Yet, male infertility continues to remain poorly understood and often ignored, largely due to deep-rooted social stigma, misconceptions, and lack of awareness. Despite being a significant contributor, male infertility rarely receives the attention it deserves — leading to delays in diagnosis and timely intervention.

In this regard, under the empowering theme “Healthy Man, Happy Father”, Oasis Fertility celebrates the journey of men aspiring to fatherhood through its bold campaign. This initiative is a powerful step toward breaking the silence around male infertility, challenging long-held stigmas, and ensuring men have access to personalized, research-driven fertility treatments. It emphasizes that fertility is a shared responsibility in reproductive health and aims to encourage men to actively participate in their fertility journey by offering personalized counseling and comprehensive support covering medical, nutritional, and lifestyle aspects. 

More importantly, it hosts interactive educational sessions that demystify infertility, debunk common myths, and promote awareness about factors like age, stress, diet, sleep, environmental toxins, and delayed parenthood. Modern-day stress, sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, exposure to pollutants, and digital device overuse largely drive male infertility. Through a multi-faceted approach and strong collaboration with traffic police departments, this initiative aims to ensure that compassionate, evidence-based fertility solutions reach all individuals, especially men.

Speaking on this occasion, Dr Durga G Rao, Medical Director of Oasis Fertility, said, “Infertility has traditionally been seen as a woman’s issue, leaving male fertility overlooked and ignored. The ‘Healthy Man, Happy Father’ campaign is here to change that — to break the silence and shatter this stigma. Fertility is a shared responsibility, and it’s time men step forward with confidence and support. Through awareness, science-driven care, and accessible resources, we empower men to take charge of their fertility journey. This Father’s Day, let’s unite to end the taboo, spark honest conversations, and create stronger, healthier families together.”

“Infertility affects millions of couples, yet male infertility remains a misunderstood and often neglected issue. Factors such as poor lifestyle habits, stress, obesity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, exposure to environmental toxins, and untreated medical conditions like varicocele and hormonal imbalances significantly contribute to male infertility. At Oasis Fertility, through the ‘Healthy Man, Happy Father’ campaign, we are committed to changing this narrative by raising awareness about the issues and personalized and science-driven fertility treatments. Alongside free fertility assessments and educational initiatives, we strive to make advanced care accessible and to encourage men to engage in their reproductive health proactively. By addressing the root causes with evidence-based solutions, we can help build healthier families and a stronger future.”, expressed Dr. Krishna Chaitanya M, Scientific Head and Clinical Embryologist, Oasis Fertility.

Mr. Pushkaraj Shenai, CEO of Oasis Fertility, said, “At Oasis Fertility, we are committed to harnessing the power of science and personalized care to support men on their fertility journey. With our campaign, ‘Healthy Man, Happy Father,’ we reinforce our dedication to breaking stigmas and providing men with access to expert evaluations, free fertility assessments, and compassionate counselling. Guided by our core belief—that every aspiring father is in the Good Hands of Science—we offer a holistic, evidence-based approach that helps men to take charge of their reproductive health and build stronger families.

This marks a significant step towards bridge the gap between ancient knowledge and present-day advancements. The centre will empower students and researchers to draw from India’s timeless wisdom while embracing the possibilities of modern science and technology. We remain committed empowering Indian students with transformative education, contributing to the nation’s journey towards Viksit Bharat and global excellence.”

The inauguration of the centre is aligned with the Ministry of Education’s efforts to systematically embed India’s vast intellectual heritage into the higher education ecosystem. This represents a significant milestone in both preserving and promoting the country’s rich knowledge traditions while building future-ready institutions.

As a key part of the initiative, the beautifully designed Heartfulness Lounge was also inaugurated within the AI Block of the campus. A serene and thoughtfully curated space, the lounge has been envisioned as a place for reflection, dialogue, and inner transformation. It will serve as a dedicated zone where students, faculty, and visitors can explore guided meditation, value-based conversations, and well-being programs — creating a bridge between ancient practices and contemporary campus life.

Under the banner of CIKS, a series of academic courses, research collaborations, workshops, and spiritual development programs are planned to be launched. These initiatives aim to offer a comprehensive understanding of Indian Knowledge Systems, including Ayurveda, Yoga, Sanskrit, Consciousness Studies, and AI-integrated traditional knowledge, empowering students with both inner clarity and outward innovation.

The establishment of CIKS is another step forward towards Galgotias University’s commitment to delivering holistic, future-focused education that seamlessly blends India’s ancient wisdom with cutting-edge research, technology, and mental well-being. With this launch, Galgotias University advances the nation’s vision of Viksit Bharat by preparing globally competent leaders rooted in India’s rich knowledge heritage.

Delhi-NCR Defies National Trends: Unsold Inventory Plunges Amid India’s 48% Housing Price Surge

Delhi NCR: India’s residential real estate sector has entered a new era of growth, as highlighted by the latest 1 Finance Housing Total Return Index. Over the past five years, average housing prices across major Indian cities have soared by 48%, marking one of the most robust growth phases in the country’s property market history. Yet, amid this nationwide boom, Delhi-NCR stands out for a different reason—its remarkable 30% decline in unsold inventory, signaling a surge in demand and a unique market dynamic

Mr. Rakesh Malhotra, Founder and Chairman, PRIME Developments

Delhi-NCR: Demand Outpaces Supply

While cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai have made headlines for record price jumps and costliness, Delhi-NCR’s story is about absorption and efficiency. The region’s unsold housing inventory has dropped sharply, with a 30% reduction over the last five years, even as prices have risen by around 31% in the past year alone. This trend is in stark contrast to cities such as Hyderabad, where unsold stock has ballooned, or Chennai, where new launches outpace sales.

Luxury Segment Fuels Growth

One of the main forces behind this change has been the luxury housing market in Delhi-NCR. The region’s overall house sales value surpassed Hyderabad and Mumbai in 2024, rising 63% year over year to ₹1.53 lakh crore. More than two-thirds of this value came from Gurugram alone, driven by the strong demand for upscale buildings. This increase is supported by shifting post-pandemic buyer tastes, as families look for bigger homes with better amenities.

Mr. Rakesh Malhotra, founder and chairman of PRIME Developments said, Delhi NCR’s real estate market is witnessing a remarkable transformation, as evidenced by a 30% decline in unsold inventory—an unmistakable indicator of heightened demand and robust absorption rates. Gurugram, in particular, exemplifies this trend with its limited inventory in prime locations and vigorous value appreciation, especially in sectors adjacent to new infrastructure projects. Enhanced connectivity, the proliferation of luxury and sustainable housing, and a rising preference for integrated townships are driving this momentum. The surge of high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and non-resident Indians (NRIs) seeking premium amenities and long-term investment opportunities further underscores Gurugram’s appeal. These factors have positioned Gurugram as one of the most dynamic and attractive real estate destinations within Delhi NCR’s thriving, high-demand market.”

Outlook: A Market in Balance

The sharp decline in unsold inventory, combined with robust price appreciation, positions Delhi-NCR as one of India’s healthiest real estate markets in 2025. The developers of NCR have handled launches carefully, maintaining supply in line with actual end-user demand, in contrast to other metro areas that are struggling with overstock. Delhi-NCR’s emphasis on quality, prompt delivery, and opulent options guarantees that it will continue to draw in both investors and purchasers as the national housing cycle develops.

In summary, while India’s housing market celebrates a historic price rally, Delhi-NCR’s realty sector is scripting its own success story—one defined by high demand, falling inventory, and a thriving luxury segment.

On Father’s Day, Mpower Highlights Sharp Rise in Men’s Mental Health Struggles

Bengaluru, June 16, 2025: On the occasion of Father’s Day 2025, Mpower—an initiative by the Aditya Birla Education Trust—unveiled new insights into a critical yet often overlooked issue: the mental health of men in India.

A comprehensive five-year analysis of Mpower’s mental health helpline data shows a steady rise in male callers from 2020 to 2024. This trend highlights a significant shift in how men are approaching their emotional well-being, signaling a slow but meaningful erosion of stigma around seeking mental health support. Over this period, the helpline has provided a total of 141,212 hours of counseling, underscoring its pivotal role in supporting mental health across diverse demographics.

Key Insights from the Helpline:

  • Total Male Callers (2020–2025): 19,750
  • Peak Year: 2024, with 8,362 male callers
  • Average Call Duration: 7.15 minutes for men, compared to 9.55 minutes for women
  • Total Calls Received (All Genders): 114,776

Over the years, the concerns reported by male callers have evolved. In 2020, top issues included abuse, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. By 2021, anxiety and depression took center stage. Since 2022, relationship issues have increasingly emerged alongside anxiety and depression, with persistent concerns about psychological distress becoming more common.

This changing emotional landscape, coupled with a dramatic spike in male callers in 2024, underscores a shift in how men experience and express emotional vulnerability—especially among new fathers who increasingly report feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or isolated.

Rima Bhandekar, Clinical Psychologist and Head of the Mpower Helpline at Mpower—an initiative by the Aditya Birla Education Trust—stressed the urgent need for inclusive mental health reform: “The data from our helpline is a wake-up call. As we celebrate fathers today, we must also acknowledge the silent emotional struggles many of them face. Beneath the image of strength and responsibility often lies unspoken anxiety, self-doubt, and isolation.We’re increasingly coming across young, new fathers who feel overwhelmed—unsure of their ability to care for their child and burdened by expectations. These emotions are not signs of weakness, but clear indicators of mental health distress that deserve our attention and care.

It’s time we move toward Acceptance, Action, and Advocacy—to break the stigma and build a mental health ecosystem that supports everyone, irrespective of gender. It’s essential that we extend mental health resources—such as counselling, emotional support, and peer networks—to fathers as a standard part of care, not an exception. Recognizing their emotional needs is not indulgent; it’s integral to building resilient families and healthier communities.”

For those seeking immediate, confidential support, Mpower’s 1on1 mental health helpline is available 24/7 at 1800-120-820050. The service has become a crucial resource for thousands, offering a safe space for individuals to share and seek help without judgment.

This Father’s Day, Mpower urges families, communities, and policymakers to not only celebrate the fathers in their lives, but also to support their emotional well-being—creating a future where mental health care is accessible, normalized, and prioritized as an essential component of holistic well-being.
