Surbhi Jyoti is all set to marry her longtime boyfriend Sumit Suri today (October 27). Ahead of the wedding, the actress' Qubool Hai co-star Karan Singh Grover shared a sweet post on social media. The Fighter star shared a picture of Surbhi and her longtime boyfriend Sumi Suri on Instagram. The photo was captured during their mehendi ceremony. Congratulating the couple, he wrote, "Congratulations @surbhijyoti and Sumit! Wish you a lifetime of joy and fun, laughter and awesomeness! Love you lots."
A day ago, Surbhi Jyoti and Sumit Suri announced their wedding on Instagram. The actress shared a series of photos from her pre-wedding festivities and wrote, "These roots run deep, carrying stories of sunshine and rain, resilience and grace. Sumit and I chose to begin our journey here, under nature's sacred canopy, honoring the trees that stand tall and the five elements that keep us whole."
The couple originally planned to marry in March but postponed their wedding due to preparation issues and venue availability in Rajasthan. They have now rescheduled the ceremony for October 27 at Ahana, a luxury resort in Jim Corbett National Park.
As per a report in Hindustan Times, the wedding will include unique eco-friendly rituals that "highlight their commitment to sustainability", celebrating elements of nature such as earth, water, fire, air, and space. Additional intimate functions will blend tradition with environmental awareness.
In May this year, Surbhi Jyoti made her relationship with Sumit Suri Instagram official. The couple are rumoured to be dating for quite a few years now. Sharing the post on Instagram, Surbhi wrote, "Birthday 2024".
Earlier this year, there were reports that Surbhi Jyoti was all set to get married to her longtime boyfriend Sumit Suri. However, a close friend of the actress dismissed the rumours. According to Pinkvilla, a close friend of Surbhi Jyoti, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the actress is not getting married in the first half of March. She said, "Nothing is decided yet. I'm quite close to her, and I haven't heard anything like that. Things are being discussed but it will take some time to finalize everything. March looks pretty close and from what I know, it won't happen so soon."
Reportedly, Surbhi Jyoti and Sumit Suri fell in love while working together on the music video titled Haanji - The Marriage Mantra. The couple played the roles of a bride and groom.
ICYDK: In 2018, Sumit Suri dismissed the dating rumours and said, "I would not like to comment on it. Such rumours are bound to happen when two people working together, become friends and often catch up."
On the work front, Surbhi Jyoti has appeared in several shows including Qubool Hai, Naagin, Ishqbaaz, Tanhaiyan, Koi Laut Ke Aaya Hai and others.

Infinix should stop using the Zero moniker for their phones because, honestly, their phones are not what they used to be. The new Infinix Zero 40 5G is not a zero. The phone, at a starting price of Rs. 27,999, offers a lot of features. Infinix also claims that the Zero 40 5G is the first phone in its segment to offer 4K 60fps video recording on both front and rear cameras and to feature a 50-megapixel ultrawide rear camera. It's also the first Infinix phone to launch with Infinix AI.
The company heavily emphasises the phone's video recording features, stabilisation, and its potential as an ideal device for vlogging—I've never heard the word "vlog" mentioned so many times in a product briefing. So, is the Infinix Zero 40 5G any good? Do all of these segment-firsts make it a hero? You'll have to read the full review to find out.
Infinix Zero 40 Design: Stylish
Dimensions - 164.31x74.47x7.9mm
Weight - 195g
Colours - Moving Titanium, Violet Garden, Rock Black
Infinix has done a very good job in terms of design. The phone features curved sides and flat top and bottom edges, making it comfortable to hold and easy to use one-handed. The phone is available in three colour options, and we got the Violet Garden variant. The rear panel has a two-tone finish and the word ‘Zero' etched at the bottom right corner. It's a nice phone to look at, especially in the Violet colour option.
The curved edges make the phone slimmer than it actually is
The back is dominated by a large circular camera module, accented with a focus ring-like design. The curved edges make the phone feel slimmer than it really is. The left side is clean, while the power and volume buttons are placed on the right. At the bottom, you'll find the USB Type-C port, a loudspeaker, a microphone, and a SIM card tray. The top houses an IR blaster, another microphone, and a speaker grille. Infinix has also provided an IP54 rating for added protection, which is a nice touch.
Infinix Zero 40 Display: Big with a little bit of curve
Size and type - 6.78-inch, full-HD+, Curved AMOLED
Refresh rate - Up to 144Hz
Protection - Corning Gorilla Glass 5
The Infinix Zero 40 5G features a curved display with slim, uniform bezels, resulting in an impressive 93.4 percent screen-to-body ratio. The panel is of the LTPS variety, which means that although it offers a 144Hz refresh rate, it cannot go all the way down to 1Hz. You can, however, choose between auto, 60, 120, and 144Hz. The display also offers a 360Hz touch sampling rate and 2,304Hz PWM frequency.
Running the screen at 144Hz will drain the battery much faster
In terms of colour, you get a 10-bit panel with 100 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage. There are also two colour modes available on the phone – Original and Bright-coloured. I'd recommend sticking to the former. You also get TUV Rheinland Eye Care certification and an Eye care mode. As for brightness, the phone gets plenty bright indoors (1,300 nits peak), but it can be a bit dull under direct sunlight.
For watching movies, gaming, and any kind of content consumption, the screen is great. It's big, colourful, bright (indoors), and offers a super fast refresh rate. There's also Widevine L1 certification so that you can use all your streaming services.
Infinix has included an in-display fingerprint scanner on the phone. Despite being placed lower down on the screen, it worked accurately and was fast.
Infinix Zero 40 Software: AI this and AI that
OS - Android 14
UI - XOS 14.5
Latest security patch - August 5, 2024
The phone runs Android 14-based XOS 14.5 out of the box. As expected, it includes a fair amount of pre-installed apps, but fortunately, most can be uninstalled. The user interface is fairly clean, with smooth animations.
Infinix has also included an edge control feature that lets you take advantage of the curved screen and quickly access your favourite apps. There's an IR Control option in the Quick setting and within the Welife app to control other devices using its infrared blaster. The phone boasts a "Works with GoPro" certification, but all it means is that you can control a GoPro action camera using the GoPro Quik app—a feature that virtually any smartphone is capable of.
The AI eraser does a decent job
The Zero 40 5G has many AI features as part of the Infinix AI suite. You get an AI Eraser in the Gallery app that works pretty well for removing objects from photos, though its performance can be inconsistent. Sometimes, I could remove an object with a single attempt, but other times, it took multiple tries to achieve the desired result.
Other AI-powered features include Smart Cut-out, which allows you to cut out objects from photos easily, and AI Vlog, which can automatically create a vlog using up to 20 clips from your gallery. Additionally, Smart Search lets you find pictures in the Gallery app by simply typing a text description.
There's an AI Wallpaper Generator that creates images based on your photos or text input, though I couldn't test this feature due to a recurring "server is being upgraded" error. The Infinix Folax voice assistant is also built-in and capable of answering questions, translating text, controlling basic phone functions, and more.
Some of the AI features didn't work
While it's nice to have all the above-mentioned AI features, Infinix has a lot of work to do, as some of them, including the wallpaper generator, refused to work for me.
In terms of software support, Infinix has promised 2 years of Android OS updates and 3 years of security patches.
Infinix Zero 40 Performance: Good enough
Chipset - MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate
RAM - 12GB LPDDR5x
Storage - Up to 512GB UFS 3.1
The MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate chipset is quite capable and easily handles day-to-day tasks. Multitasking is a breeze,e too. It even fares well in gaming and doesn't produce a lot of heat when under heavy use. The phone has 12GB RAM and 256GB or 512GB storage. There is also a virtual RAM expansion feature, and you get a microSD card slot to add more storage.
The phone is good for gaming
Regular performance is pretty good, and I didn't really face any lag while running multiple apps, using the camera, or performing various day-to-day tasks. We ran our usual set of benchmarks on the phone, and it performed similarly to other phones in the segment.

Gaming on the phone is fun, thanks mainly to the large screen with 144Hz refresh rate. I ran BGMI, Asphalt Legends Unite, and Genshin Impact on the phone and was able to play all of them without much lag. In BGMI and Asphalt Legends Unit, I was able to play with the highest available graphics. However, with Genshin Impact, I couldn't play with the highest settings, and I also found that the phone would heat up after just 15-20 minutes. I also noticed this heating when using the rear camera for 4K video recording.
The phone does heat up when running heavy games
The Infinix Zero 40 5G delivers good call quality and audio performance. It features a dual stereo speaker setup with "Sound by JBL," along with support for DTS Hi-RES Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless. Calls came through clearly, both through the microphone and ear speaker. The dual speakers provide good stereo separation and are loud and clear but fall short in bass.
Infinix is heavily marketing the Zero 40 5G video recording capabilities and even calling it a vlogging phone. As per the brand, it's the first phone in the segment to offer 4k 60fps recording on the primary, ultra-wide, and front camera.
The phone supports 4K 60fps recording across three cameras
In my testing, while you get 4K 60fps across all three cameras, there's no stabilisation supported in this mode. However, the video performance is just about average. While there are good levels of detail in 4K resolution on all three supported cameras, the dynamic range, colours, focus shifting, and stabilisation are average. There are two levels of stabilisation available on the phone – Ultra Steady and Ultra Steady Pro. If you're shooting using 4K resolution on any of the cameras, you can only use Ultra Steady at 30fps. And the stabilisation here isn't excellent. The Ultra Steady Pro does offer slightly better stabilisation, but it only works in 1080p. However, no Ultra Steady Pro stabilisation is available on the front camera in any resolution. You also get some Vlog filters on the front camera in the video, but they're passable and don't shoot in 4K.
Now, let's talk about still photography. The photos taken in daylight conditions offer good details across both main and ultrawide cameras. Even HDR performance is pretty good for a phone at this price point. You will find colour inaccuracies between the two cameras though, and there's also some over-saturation going on.
Top to bottom: 3 x Main Camera; 3 x Ultrawide [Tap to Expand]
Photos taken using the primary rear camera in lowlight conditions bring in some noise, but it's definitely usable. Ultrawide camera performance in the dark is average at best, has more noise than the main, and is once again plagued by colour inaccuracy.
Top to Bottom: 2 x Main camera; 2 x Ultrawide
There's also a 3x mode, but it's only a zoomed-in crop, and is mostly a miss. Portrait photos are average, with the bokeh looking fake most of the time.
Infinix Zero 40 Battery: Average
Capacity - 5,000mAh
Fast charging - 45W wired, 20W wireless
Charger - Included, MagCase
Infinix has equipped the Zero 40 5G with a sizable 5,000mAh battery, but it's average in terms of battery life. While it lasted over a day with regular use, it underperformed in our HD video loop test. With the brightness at 50 percent and the refresh rate set to 144Hz, the battery drained in just about 14 hours. However, you can extend the battery life by enabling adaptive brightness and switching the refresh rate to 120Hz.
You get a MagCase in the box
Charging the phone is fast, thanks to the included 45W charger. A full charge from 0 to 100 percent took about 1 hour and 10 minutes, which is decent. The phone also supports wireless charging at 20W.
Infinix Zero 40 Verdict
The Infinix Zero 40 5G is a good choice if you're on the lookout for a mid-range phone that offers good design, a good set of cameras that you'll mostly use in the day, good gaming performance, decent battery life, and a nice big curved display with fast refresh rate. If you're looking for a phone for vlogging, this is not the one.

We have all at some point encountered the kind of duplicitous men who would shamelessly beat their wives, catcall every possible female, exert their dominance, and yet call themselves feminists who “respect women.” They won't even deny their preposterous acts and would either blame the victim for triggering them or make fun of their hopelessness. These men, whose actions are often overcompensating for their own inadequacies and dysfunctions, can unfortunately be found in every stratum of society.
Netflix's latest original film Do Patti, brings to us one such man in Dhruv Sood (Shaheer Sheikh) from a small hill town, who regularly beats his traumatised wife Saumya (Kriti Sanon). The film begins with a paraglide gone wrong, as the couple hang in the air for their lives from their glider. Saumya, who thinks her husband has sabotaged her harness, begs for her life. Upon being rescued, Saumya tells inspector Vidya Jyothi (Kajol) that her husband tried to murder her, and we are taken to a flashback sequence of three months ago, when the two first met.
Saumya is introduced as an anxious introvert, who has been in severe depression since her parents died. Now living with an alcoholic caretaker, she is quietly suffering from several phobias and traumas. She also has a tumultuous relationship with her twin sister Shailee, who was sent off to a hostel because of her abusive behaviour towards Saumya, only to return in time to interfere with her love life.
A major flaw that holds Do Patti back is the incoherent plot and its fluctuating tone. Some of the scenes are intense and leave a lasting impact; others are merely fillers that don't add anything meaningful to the story. A thriller is supposed to constantly keep viewers on their toes and carefully set up the pieces before pulling the rug. Do Patti, however, isn't able to maintain that iron grip on its plot.
The film, for instance, wastes a lot of time in establishing Kajol's character. She plays an idealist cop who talks in Bollywood's stereotypical idea of what a hinterland accent is supposed to be — it's neither Hindi nor Haryanvi or Bhojpuri. Can we please stop with the lazy sub-altern caricature already?
At one point, it begins to feel that the writers were so starstruck by Kajol that they forgot to add any meat to her role and hoped she'd carry the character with her natural charisma. Kajol's Vidya Jyothi, who goes by “VJ”, is goofy, close to her popular roles in romantic comedies, instead being a serious cop. While Kajol has tried her best to deliver with whatever little she was given, the blame lies with the writers for underutilising a refined actor like her. If you aren't her fan, her story arc will feel stretched thing on several occasions.
Another area where the film falters is its stereotypical and regressive representation of its female characters. Sanon's twin sister is shown as a loose woman, who drinks, has short hair, wears seductive outfits, goes clubbing and flirts with men. Why are we still sticking to these idiotic tropes in 2024 and feeding the patriarchal beast. Shailee is painted with a singular brush, and there are no other shades to her character. She is supposed to be villainous and scheming, so of course she's not in line with what our “culture” deems righteous. Or is it so that she's automatically labelled evil just because she drinks or likes to dress up? While Saumya's extremely introverted behaviour can be attributed to her trauma, the film could have — and in fact, should have — avoided Shailee's version from the witchcraft era.
Despite its flaws, the film does a fine job in its representation of patriarchy, violence against women, childhood trauma and its deep-seated impact. In a disturbing scene from the film, we see Dhruv brutally beating Saumya. He pulls her hair, kicks her in the guts mercilessly, rolls her like a football, throws her over the stairs and leaves her blood-soaked on the floor. In the end, he candidly throws away the typical “why did you trigger my anger” statement.
The entire sequence is well-performed and boils your blood to the extent where you'd feel like entering the screen and punching Sheikh's character. While it's disturbing and can be triggering for victims of abuse, it is also one of the most powerful scenes in the film. It not only shows the brutality of domestic violence against women but also the sick and twisted psyches of monsters who perpetrate abuse.
The film also boasts some amazing performances, especially by Sanon and Sheikh. Sanon has done a brilliant job at playing dual roles and is equally convincing in both of them. Her characters have been carefully written, infused with the smallest aspects of the human behaviour in consideration. There is a scene where Saumya is pushed into paragliding for the first time, despite having severe acrophobia, and midway through the activity, she gets teary-eyed thinking of her dead mother. It is such a moving representation of how the grief one might be carrying can subconsciously erupt with even the slightest push, reminding us that it was waiting beneath the surface all this while. While the National award-winning actor has given a few impressive performances earlier as well, especially in Mimi, she has outdone herself in this Netflix original.
The way Do Patti handles and portrays the themes of childhood trauma, sibling rivalries, domestic violence, abuse, and the objectification of women is quite impressive. It intimately explores even the smallest details of these difficult themes, complemented by brilliant performances. However, brilliance comes in patches. If only the film had better pacing or constant momentum throughout its runtime — and avoided harmful stereotypes — it would have done justice to the important issues it attempts to explore. Films dealing with such sensitive themes need to be more captivating to appeal to a larger audience. Do Patti handles its subject matter in impressive ways — it has its intentions in the right place. But it struggles to establish itself as a good thriller.
Ajay Devgn's highly anticipated film Singham Again is set to release this Diwali. Ahead of the film's grand release, director Rohit Shetty along with the star cast - Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Kapoor and Tiger Shroff had a meet-up in Mumbai. Akshay Kumar shared a picture from their gathering on social media. Sharing the photo on Instagram, he hinted at Salman Khan's cameo in the film and wrote, "Hum sab ne mil ke ki bohot si Chulbul baatein. #SinghamAgain." ICYDK, Salman is reportedly reprising his role as Chulbul Pandey from Dabangg. However, the film's leading ladies Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone gave it a miss.
A source close to the production told Pinkvilla that Salman Khan has already filmed his cameo. Rohit Shetty reportedly discussed grand plans for Salman's role, to which he responded, "It's you and Ajay. You are brothers. That's enough for a reason for me to do the cameo."
The makers dropped the film's trailer earlier this month. The trailer begins with Kareena narrating a story about Ram rescuing Sita, prompting her son to question if his father could do the same for her. To this Ajay Devgn responds, "Google pe Bajirao Singham type kar le, pata chal jayega tera baap kaun hai." The plot centres around Kareena's character being abducted by Arjun Kapoor. Ajay then enlists the help of Sangram Simmba Bhalerao (Ranveer Singh), Veer Sooryavanshi (Akshay Kumar), Shakti Shetty (Deepika Padukone) and Tiger Shroff to seek revenge and save his wife.
Singham Again will clash with Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 on November 1. The film also stars Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit in key roles.

Filmmaker Amit Dutta's Rhythm of a Flower and Nocturnes, directed by Anirban Dutta and Anupama Srinivasan, won top honours at the closing ceremony of the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024 here on Thursday. The film gala, organised by the Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image (MAMI), came to a close with a ceremony where the South Asia Competition jury awarded the Golden Gateway Award to Rhythm of a Flower (Phool Ka Chand) and the Silver Gateway Award to Nocturnes. The jury was led by Rada Sesic and included Clarence Tsui, Kate Laurie, Jerome Baron, and Marie Fuglestein Laegreid.
The Special Jury Prize was presented to Manoj Bajpayee's film The Fable, directed by Raam Reddy.
Shuchi Talati's Girls Will Be Girls, which is produced by actor couple Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, was honoured with a Special Mention.
"I know what we all went through during the making of The Fable. It all started before COVID-19, so we went back, and then we again went back up the mountain. We waited patiently as we all believed in the film. I would like to thank Raam for considering me for this film," Bajpayee said.
Girls Will Be Girls also received the NETPAC Award and was honoured with the Film Critics Guild Gender Sensitivity Award for challenging traditional gender stereotypes and advancing nuanced narratives. Additionally, the film was recognised with the Rashid Irani Young Critics Choice Award.
While receiving the award for her co-production, Richa Chadha said the recognition means a lot to her and the team of Girls Will Be Girls.
"This will always be an Indian film, even if it's an international co-production. Kudos to the MAMI Film Festival for pulling it off. It's always about the freedom of expression, and that is what matters," Chadha said.
Fazal added, "I've been watching the entire process of filmmaking from the sidelines. Richa and I are co-producers with multiple others. It has been the most humbling and huge learning process as actors to watch Shuchi at play and all the actors." Talati, a first-time director, said she is overwhelmed by the accolades her movie has received.
"I feel sometimes filmmakers make a distinction between art-house, independent, and commercial cinema, as if this particular genre will only have a small section of the audience. But I feel what we are taking away from the awards and from the screenings is the love the audience gave to our film," she said.
In Dimensions Mumbai, a sidebar section of the festival, the Gold Award went to BMCLD by Shreela Agarwal. The Silver Award was shared by A Tale of Two Cities by Sameeha Sabnis and I Was Painted Red by Bhagyesh Rajeshirke.
The Dimensions Mumbai jury included Amit Masurkar, Chaitanya Tamhane, and Paromita Vohra.
The awards for the Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films were also announced.
The best film award went to "Ade (On A Sunday)" by Theja Rio, while the Special Jury Prize went to "Coming Back to Life (Et Moi, Je Revis)" by Mantra Watsa for excellence in short filmmaking.
The jury of this segment included actors Aditi Rao Hydari, Rajshri Deshpande, and filmmaker Hansal Mehta.
In addition to these awards, the MAMI festival also celebrated contributions to cinema with the Best Book on Cinema award given to The Age of Heroes: The Incredible World of Telugu Cinema by Mukesh Manjunath.
The closing ceremony was followed by the screening of Sean Baker's Anora, which had its South Asia premiere. Earlier this year, the film won the Palme d'Or at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.

Apple has announced that a series of new announcements will take place next week. A company official shared a teaser on social media confirming its timeline. While specifics remain unknown, the official teased updates coming to the Mac lineup, with the rumour mill suggesting that Apple could finally transition to the new M4 chip on the iMac, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini. Notably, this development comes a month after the company unveiled a series of new products, including the iPhone 16 series, AirPods and Apple Watch models.
Apple October Announcements
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Greg Joswiak, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Apple announced that the Cupertino-based tech giant will make a series of announcements related to hardware next week; starting October 28. Attendees will witness announcements related to Mac, in line with Apple's strategy in previous events held in the same month. However, unlike them, this could be spread over the span of a week instead of a single-day event.
Mac (?) your calendars! We have an exciting week of announcements ahead, starting on Monday morning. Stay tuned… pic.twitter.com/YnoCYkZq6c
Apple debuted its latest Silicon chipset dubbed M4 in the summer with the new generation iPad Pro models. It is speculated to finally arrive on the latest MacBook Pro models too, starting with the 14 and 16-inch models. In recent weeks, retail boxes of the purported MacBook Pro powered by the M4 chipset have surfaced on YouTube, in what is being called one of the biggest Apple leaks to date. Thus, this laptop is speculated to mark its debut.
Apple Intelligence — the company's suite of artificial intelligence (AI) features for the iPhone and other devices — is also said to be finally rolled out to the public with the iOS 18.1 update. The features were first previewed at the WWDC 2024 event in June and were expected to headline the new iPhone 16 series, but they have been delayed. The company promised Apple Intelligence's rollout in October and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggested October 28 as the most likely date for its introduction, which coincides with the Apple announcements.
