Be cautious about what you bring to an end or the way in which you go about winding something up, especially if you think it will open up more choices. The situation will have to be revisited mid April next year.

Other things would have changed by then.

It might be wiser to let things take their own course right now.

Something that started off as a small thing when it comes to helping out somebody else that seems to keep on growing would be best dealt with now, especially if it is turning into a habit or interfering with your regular routines. It has probably taught you to take more notice of what is important to you, rather than getting distracted..

Something is winding up on a personal level perhaps in ways you were not expecting that is generating thought of all sorts of possibilities in the long term. Someone can play a powerful role here. However it is to eventually settle will not become evident until January to April next year. Meanwhile just go with the flow.

You can have success in getting something out of the way that has been on your mind for a while but the energy just hasn’t been there.

Not that you will feel overly energised just yet. It is more a realisation that time is running out. You know you will feel a lot better once this is done, especially if others have a good view of it.

There can be a willingness to let something go that has been a personal priority but doesn’t fit well with someone else. It will be more important to establish underlying stability in situations involving others. This can be temporary as other opportunities to focus on your wishes will arise next year from January to April. Patience can pay off.

Something needs to be put into place once and for all so that you know what needs to be spent rather than other things coming up all the time. Whatever you do now can create changes that may not be fully implemented until next year, between January and April.

You need to be straightforward and practical with any discussions.

The New Moon this week occurs in your sign providing you with the opportunity to generate changed directions on a personal level. Anything that has not been heading in the direction you had hoped might be better let go right now. Becoming more practical can appeal to you, especially when it comes to stability with finances.

There can be new directions building up in the background that will provide the opportunity to put a stable foundation in place. This is likely tied into the decisions of somebody else and something may need to wind up so they can take the next step.

There could be more than one stage of development attached to this as well.

Changes in somebody else’s life may make you realise things are moving on and it will not be the same for you. This is encouraging you to think about what is important to you. It can actually be freeing you up to do so. This is a first stage.

New people can come into your life, especially from January to April next year.

New directions involving other people can be smooth running if things are done their way. While there might be a lot in common, their determination might clash with yours. If you have been attempting to come to an agreement, this might need to be left for now and revisited mid April as things will likely have changed by then.

It might be time to develop a new attitude when it comes to commitments or obligations in your life, especially if they affect your finances. If you have accepted things without thinking, you could recognise this has to stop. This can only happen when you take the time to analyse what you can realistically manage and follow through.

New possibilities in the long term can begin to feel more probable or realistic. This could leave behind a level of personal doubt or insecurity.

This can be tied to you becoming more aware of what has been important for a long time but needs to be modified in some way for the future. The second stage can occur January to April next year.

Taapsee’s fitness mantra

Ajay to make hosting Taapsee Pannu has often emphasised the importance of staying debut with Crime Patrol active while enjoying the food she loves. For the actress, fitness is not

about following a rigid workout routine every day, but about finding different forms of exercise that keep her motivated and help her maintain a healthy balance. Speaking about her approach to fitness and food, Taapsee said, “I love eating food. One thing I have discovered is that if you want to enjoy the food you love without worrying too much about how many calories it has and how much weight you can gain after eating it, you should not skip your workouts.” Instead of depending solely on gym sessions, the actress incorporates a variety of activities into her fitness regime. Sports play an important role, with squash being one of her preferred workouts. She also combines it with regular gym sessions and aerial yoga, which offers a different form of physical activity. “I play sports at least twice a week, especially squash,” she said. “Of course, I also go to the gym and practise aerial yoga.

Going to the gym every day can get boring after a while.

My biggest motivation for staying fit is simple; I want to be able to eat the food I love.” For Taapsee, consistency, variety and balance are key to staying fit without making exercise monotonous.

B o l l y w o o d superstar Ajay Devgn is set to host the popular crime series Crime Patrol. According to a credible source close to the development, the actor has already shot for 15 episodes.

The source f u r t h e r exclusively told this news agency, that the decision of having A j a y continue to host the

    Actress Rashmika Mandanna is presently recovering from a hip bone injury, spending all her time at home in forever. In her recent post on social media, the Animal actress admitted that previously, when she was hustling at the time, ‘slowing down’ looked scary to her, but now that her injury has forced her to slow down, she has started finding hustling extremely scary. She also uploaded a couple of pictures, giving an insight into what her day at home with her loved ones looks like. Rashmika's Insta post read, “My days always look like this if ever I am just home for this long.. It's amazing how when you are hustling your days away the other side which is 'slowing down' seems scary but when you are pushed into 'slowing down'

- the hustling like a crazy person now seems scary.. maybe that's what is life..(sic).” The Pushpa actress concluded the post on a thankful note, saying, “Being engulfed in so much love and surrounded with so much positivity prayers and gratitude.” Before this, Rashmika shared with her Insta Family her recovery routine that included sleeping, eating and playing with her fur baby Aura. The Girlfriend actress had penned, “My days are going well.. with a lot of sleeping and recovery, puzzles and some reading and watching some shows doing some very much needed hair care and skin care.. and meetings and spending time with family!!”

Bollywood actor Sanjay Mishra makes Odia debut

National Award-winning actor Sanjay Mishra arrived here to begin shooting for his maiden Odia film, Madhumalati. Produced by Auroshree Films and directed by Mrityunjay Sahoo, the romantic entertainer is scheduled for a Durga Puja 2026 release. The film stars Mishra alongside Maheswata, Akash, Bhoomika, Sanoj, Pragya, KK and Bhaswati, among others. Set against the backdrop of the 1980s, the makers describe Madhumalati as a nostalgic romantic drama that seeks to recreate the era’s flavour, emotions and innocence. Carrying the tagline "80s Romance is Back", the film promises a blend of romance, drama and nostalgia. Talking about Mishra, the alumnus of the National School of Drama has established himself as one of Hindi

cinema’s most versatile actors, with acclaimed performances across comedy, drama and serious roles. His notable films include Ankhon Dekhi, Masaan, Phas Gaye Re Obama, Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Kadvi Hawa, Kaamyaab and Vadh. His performance in Ankhon Dekhi earned him the Filmfare Critics' Award for Best Actor, while he received the honour again for Vadh.

He was also recognised at the 72nd National Film Awards with the Best Supporting Actor award. Mishra, speaking to Orissa POST at the airport, said, "This is my first Odia movie, and learning the language will be a challenge for me. I have visited Odisha before and have also been to Puri."

rest of the series will depend on the audience response and the TRPs. "Ajay Devgn has currently shot for 15 episodes. Whether he will continue with the rest of the series depends upon the audience's reaction and t h e numbers," the source said. The source further revealed t h a t a c t o r Rajesh Tailang has also been roped in to host additional episodes of the upcoming season. The final count of episodes to be hosted by him is still undecided and will hinge on how Ajay's episode is received. Meanwhile, ting at something that would leave people stunned. The actor though did not directly indicate that the announcement was related to Crime Patrol. "Sometimes, there are things that bother us from the inside.

And today, there is a truth before us that I am stunned by. I will bring it to you soon," Ajay says in the video.

MALLIKA’S BOLD CLAIM

Actress Mallika Sherawat has made a bold claim, and it involves Hollywood royalty Tom Cruise in her DMs. The actress, who can be seen in the reality show The Traitors, has claimed that the Hollywood superstar regularly texts. She even went to the length of claiming that Tom has a crush on her. During the latest episode of the show, stand-up comedian, Aditya Kulshrestha asked her, “Have you ever had a crush on anyone? No. Or everyone has had a crush on you?”.

Responding to the same, the actress said, “Everyone has had a crush on me. Tom Cruise has had a crush on me recently. I’m not lying. If I had a phone, I would’ve shown you his videos”.

When asked about the kind of videos he is sending, the actress said, “No, when we were partying together and all. He’s fabulous”. It’s not like the actress doesn’t have access to the direct line to the USA. Earlier, the actress had shared her excitement after receiving an invitation to the White House Christmas dinner. Describing the experience as “completely surreal”, she expressed her gratitude for the honour, marking a special moment in her illustrious career. The actress took to Instagram to share a series of photos from the White House Christmas dinner.
