A |     Actor Dhanush took fans down memory lane on Monday after he posted a set of emotional photos from Varanasi, the city where his hit film Raanjhanaa was shot. He shared new pictures on social media showing him walking on the ghats of Varanasi and enjoying a cup of chai with director Aanand L Rai. The actor looked deeply nostalgic as he reflected on his journey from Raanjhanaa to his upcoming film Tere Ishq Mein, which marks his third collaboration with the filmmaker. He shared how returning to the same streets after more than ten years felt like reliving a character who still lives in the hearts of the people.     In his heartfelt post, he wrote, “A walk through the memory lane Where it all started. KUNDAN. A character that refuses to let go of me, even after more than a decade. The Name Kundan still echoes in the narrow lanes of banaras as people call out to me and I still turn and smile. Now walking through the same lanes , sitting in front of the same house , sipping chai from the same tea shop , and walking by the shores of the holy Ganges, with the man who gave me Kundan , feels like a full circle. Now it’s time for Shankar.” The actor also added, “Tere ishk mein … FROM TOM. Har Har Mahadev.”     Check out his post below:                                                                 View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Dhanush (@dhanushkraja)               Dhanush played the role of Kundan, a boy from Varanasi, in Raanjhanaa (2013), which became a major success and earned widespread love. The film not only strengthened his place in Bollywood but also created a deep emotional bond between him and the city. He shared that locals in Varanasi still call him by the character’s name even today, and the connection continues to feel special.     Tere Ishq Mein was first announced by Aanand L Rai on the 10th anniversary of Raanjhanaa.

The music is composed by AR Rahman.          The romantic drama is scheduled to release in theatres on November 28, and fans are eagerly waiting to see the actor in another powerful role. For Dhanush, returning to Varanasi before the film’s release has been a deeply emotional experience, a moment of full circle, revisiting the birthplace of a character that changed his career.     Also Read: Photos: Dhanush and Kriti Sanon Seek Blessings in Varanasi Ahead of Tere Ishk Mein Release。    (ECNS) -- The 2026 China Open Snooker has returned to the World Snooker Tour calendar after a six-year absence, highlighting the rapid growth of snooker in China.    With a total prize fund of 1.205 million pounds ($1.38 million) and the world’s top 16 players competing, the tournament has once again become one of the most important snooker events in China. This year, 12 of the 32 players in the main draw come from China, the highest number of Chinese competitors in the tournament’s history.    China’s surge is reflected in recent results. In 2025, Zhao Xintong became the first Chinese player to win the World Snooker Championship. In 2026, a record 11 Chinese players qualified for the championship’s main stage. Women’s snooker has also advanced, with Bai Yulu winning the World Women’s Snooker Championship for the second straight year and topping the world rankings.    A new generation of Chinese players, including Zhao and Wu Yize, is shifting toward a more aggressive style, supported by a growing talent system from youth training to overseas programs.    China has become a hub for international snooker, with the Shanghai Masters, China Open and Wuhan Open forming a “China season” on the tour. The sport’s popularity is further fueled by a vast domestic market — more than 245 million active billiards players, 200,000 venues and an industry worth about 800 billion yuan ($118 billion).    During the China Open, snooker-related cultural products and themed activities also attracted strong public interest, showing the sport’s growing popularity beyond professional competition.    (By Intern Liu Shuangjing, Zhang Dongfang)                    。
