Biggest Story In India Headlines 25th March 2025
A Mumbai comedy platform has been transformed into a political war zone, and Kunal Kamra’s at the epicenter. The 36-year-old stand-up comedian’s latest performance, in which he roasted Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde without actually referring to him, has created a gush of anger among Shiv Sena leaders. Kamra warped a Dil To Pagal Hai song into a snarky parody, singing of a “Thane rickshaw” man with a beard and specs, a “gaddar” (traitor) who cowers to Guwahati and hugs Fadnavis—obviously referring to Shinde’s political u-turns in the Shiv Sena and NCP splits. He mocked the state’s chaotic elections as well, making a joke of voters getting “nine buttons” in dismay. On Tuesday, Shiv Sena’s Gulab Raghunath Patil didn’t mince words with reporters: “If he doesn’t apologise, we’ll deal with him our way—Shiv Sena won’t let this slide. He’ll step out sometime, where will he hide? ” The threat dripped with menace, a promise of the party’s “real form” if Kamra holds firm. Home State Minister Yogesh Kadam added, threatening punishment for what he described as an “unacceptable” defamation of not only Shinde but of the Supreme Court, PM, and Hindu gods—tracing a boundary that will be transgressed neither by Maharashtra. Kamra’s retort? A Monday Twitter posting in which he announced that he wouldn’t apologize, refusing to budge on his position. He has been called out for questioning 11 a.m. at the Khar Police station. today following an FIR by MIDC police changed their course, but Mumbai police claim he’s not even in the city.
This conflict—fueled by a stand-up comedian bold enough to prod the bear—is heating up rapidly, pushing the limits of humor in a jittery state.
India’s music world is set to receive a booster dose of psychedelic hip-hop courtesy of Travis Scott. The American singer-rapper, a multi-award-winning force behind tracks like “Sicko Mode” and “Goosebumps,” announced his first-ever India gig today, March 25, via Instagram. He’s slated to rock Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 18 as part of his Circus Maximus Tour 25, an Asia-spanning trek that also hits Africa, South Korea, China, and Japan. Scott’s tweet, “Asia we OTW soon I wanna see something,” was accompanied by a smooth poster boosting the tour, and sources estimate more than 50,000 fans will fill the arena to listen to hits off his new album, Utopia, along with popular numbers such as “Highest In The Room” and “Fein.” For reimagining contemporary hip-hop with his psychedelic beats and elaborate stage designs, Scott’s part of a bandwagon of international artists illuminating India in 2025—think Maroon 5, Coldplay, Alan Walker, Green Day, and Shawn Mendes, with Guns N’ Roses following on their heels.
BookMyShow Live’s promoting this one, and it’s shaping up as a can’t-miss moment for Delhi’s music lovers, cementing India’s spot on the international tour map.
Chennai woke to somber news Tuesday as Tamil actor and martial artist Shihan Hussaini lost his battle with blood cancer in a local hospital. His family announced the news on Facebook, stating that his mortal remains would be kept at his Besant Nagar residence until evening hours, allowing fans and colleagues to pay their respects. Hussaini, who was a familiar sight on the big screen in films such as Punnagai Mannan and Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal, was not just a screen presence—he was also a master archer and karateka whose life was a mix of art and discipline. The family’s posts painted a vivid farewell: archers were urged to don uniforms and shoot arrows at 5 p.m., karatekas to perform katas in their Gi at 3 p.m., all under Hussaini’s symbolic watch through his body. After 7 p.m., his remains head to Madurai. Earlier this month, Hussaini posted on Facebook that he’d donated his body for medical research, writing, “Signed it… happy to teach anatomy to medical students even after death.
Preparing for death but not giving up.” It’s a last bow that reflects his spirit—gracious, purposeful, and leaving a legacy beyond the screen.
Washington’s war room just leaked, and it’s a doozy. The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, let a bombshell loose on Tuesday, alleging he unwittingly got to hear Trump administration officials discuss plans for a military attack on Yemen’s Houthi rebels. It began with a Signal invite from National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to a group chat titled “Houthi PC small group” where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was outlining attack plans. Goldberg posted screen captures of the screenshots featuring senior officials, as high as the Vice President, discussing—leaving him amazed at the faux pas. Initially, he suspected a foreign disinformation trap, penning, “I couldn’t believe the U.S. national security team would use Signal for war plans, or that Waltz would be reckless enough to include me.” He slipped out quietly, then demanded answers on why he’d been given secret strike intel.
The gaffe’s a naked embarrassment for Trump’s team, revealing a rare glimpse into the chaos behind an impending operation.
Donald Trump’s newest trade bet may strike India’s oil business with a rough blow. On Monday, the President of the United States launched a social media broadside, vowing a 25% tariff against any country importing Venezuelan oil and natural gas beginning April 2—a shot aimed at kneecapping Nicolás Maduro’s government for immigration spats. It’s part of a wider tariff spree planned for the day, with China—already subject to 20% tariffs—also in the sights as a principal Venezuelan crude purchaser. India’s also included, along with U.S. refiners such as Valero, Phillips 66, PBF Energy, and Chevron’s Pascagoula refinery, all addicted to Venezuela’s heavy crude. Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has long claimed India will purchase if the economics pan out, but this spoils the punch. Venezuelan exports were highest in February before Trump pushed Chevron to begin to scale down by April 3—a date Chevron’s mum on today.
Trump’s tweet put it starkly: “Venezuela’s hostile to us and our freedoms.” With world energy flows at play, India’s taking note as this tariff threat hangs large.
The UN became a rhetorical combat ring when India’s Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish let loose on Pakistan regarding Jammu and Kashmir. In a debate, Harish also chastised Pakistan’s “unwarranted” shots at the region, declaring, “Jammu and Kashmir was, is, and will always be an integral part of India.” He didn’t finish there, accusing Pakistan of occupying the territory illegally and for them to vacate, while labeling their rhetoric as a diversion from global focus. Harish accused Islamabad of perpetrating a “parochial and divisive agenda” and suggested they abandon the propaganda show on such channels. India’s keeping it brief, he said, choosing not to escalate a protracted war of words with a full Right of Reply.
During the Kashmir confrontation, Harish also advocated higher peacekeeping funding, highlighting India’s dual emphasis on sovereignty and international responsibility.
Gaza’s night became a nightmare as at least 25 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes, including women and children, throughout the strip into Monday, according to three hospitals. A school shelter in Nuseirat was brutally hit, killing four people and injuring 18, according to Al-Awda Hospital—just days after a ceasefire with Hamas collapsed under surprise Israeli bombs that killed hundreds. Egypt is now coming forward, offering a proposal in which Hamas releases five hostages, one of them an American-Israeli, for a weeks-long ceasefire, influx of aid, and Israel’s release of hundreds of Palestinian inmates. A “positive” but indefinite gesture by a Hamas official keeps hope alive, although both sides are tight-lipped on specifics from behind-closed-doors negotiations. In the north of Israel, a different tragedy: a car slammed into a bus stop, killing a man in his 70s, police shooting dead the attacker in what they’re describing as an act of terror.
It’s a tinderbox situation, and Egypt’s plan a wafer-thin lifeline.
IPL 2025 began with a heart-stopper in Visakhapatnam, where Delhi Capitals overhauled Lucknow Super Giants’ 209/8 courtesy of Ashutosh Sharma’s dogged heroics. LSG were unstoppable in the beginning—Nicholas Pooran (75 off 30) and Mitchell Marsh (72 off 36) pulverized 87 in 42 balls, driving them to 161/2 in the 14th over. But DC’s bowlers, led by Mitchell Starc sending Marsh back and Mukesh Kumar getting Pooran, tightened the screws, even as Rishabh Pant failed for a duck on his LSG debut. DC’s chase collapsed to five down in seven overs, but Ashutosh’s 28-ball half-century and Vipraj Nigam’s 39 off 15 turned the tables for a miraculous win.
It’s a poetic irony—Pant confronted his former team, while KL Rahul’s DC debut was postponed, leaving Ashutosh the night’s surprise star.
KL Rahul’s Delhi Capitals adventure was put on hold before it even started. The wicketkeeper-batter missed DC’s IPL 2025 season opener against Lucknow Super Giants in Visakhapatnam, returning to Mumbai Sunday evening as wife Athiya Shetty approaches the birth of their first child.
Cricbuzz says he’s set to return for DC’s next match against SunRisers Hyderabad on March 30, with one of his family friends affirming, “He’s home for the baby, due any moment, but he’ll be ready for the next game.” Rahul’s been scorching hot, a hero in India’s Champions Trophy victory, but captain Axar Patel played it cool pre-game: “We don’t know if he’s available yet.” For the time being, family takes precedence over cricket, with fans waiting for his DC debut.
A Dhaka Premier League match became horrifying on Monday when one-time Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal had a “massive” heart attack on the field during play. In action for Mohammedan Sporting Club against Shinepukur Cricket Club at BKSP in Savar, Tamim was manning the covers when chest pains hit. BCB’s Debashish Chowdhury chronicled the mayhem: a first ECG at a local hospital indicated problems, but after going back out on the field, pain struck again, sending him to Fazilatunnesa Hospital for observation. A helicopter evacuation for him didn’t pan out, and an ambulance took him instead. “First tests missed it, but the second time confirmed a big problem,” Chowdhury reported.
The veteran batter’s battle has cricket enthusiasts holding their breath.
