UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has asked people not to visit their families parents on Mothers Day as the coronavirus pandemic in the country was "accelerating". In a stark message to the country on Saturday, he said that the National Health Services (NHS) was in danger of being "overwhelmed" in the same way as Italy's healthcare system unless people obeyed government advice on "social distancing", reports the Metro newspaper. Johnson said that while "everyone's strongest instinct" was to visit their mother on Mother's Day, the best single present they could give her was to stay away and spare her the risk of becoming infected. "This time the best thing is to ring her, video call her, Skype her, but to avoid any unnecessary physical contact or proximity. And why?

Marathi actress Manasi Naik has been enjoying social media attention for her resemblence to Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

BJP national General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya took cereals in his meal after 20 years on Monday. He said when he was elected Mayor of Indore, a seer had told him about a "pitru dosh", a kind of ancestral curse, that had affected Indore, hindering its development. He was advised to propitiate the ancestors by erecting a statue of Lord Hanuman on Pitru Parvat. He took a pledge to install the biggest statue of Lord Hanuman on Pitru Parvat and shun cereals till the work is completed. Now a 72 feet statue of Lord Hanuman weighing 108 tonnes made of Ashtadhatu (alloy of eight metals) has been installed on the mount in Indore at a cost of Rs 15 crore. Vijayvargiya marked the occasion by eating cereals in the presence of Mahatmandeshwar Awadheshanand Giri Ji Maharaj, Murari Bapu of Mahamandaleshwar Juna Akhara and Mahamandaleshwar Gurusharananandji Maharaj from Vrindavan. During these 20 years, Vijayvargiya gave up wheat, maize, jowar, bajra and pulses and would eat only fr
