**Arshad Warsi Reveals Why He Accepted ‘Bads of Bollywood’ Without Reading the Script**
*By Isha Sharma | Oct 04, 2025, 09:58 am*
Arshad Warsi’s extended cameo as Ghafoor in the Netflix series *The Bads of Bollywood* has recently become a hot topic among fans and critics alike. In a candid interview, Warsi shared fascinating insights about how the role came to be and why he accepted it without even hearing the script or knowing his character in detail.
### Instant Agreement Without the Script
Warsi revealed to Mid-Day that the decision to join the project was spontaneous. When director Aryan Khan approached him for a two-day shoot, Warsi’s immediate response was, “When do you want me to come?” He continued, “Aryan was trying to sell the role to me, but I did it without hearing the script or my character.” His admiration for Shah Rukh Khan and his family played a major role in this instant agreement. “I love Shah Rukh and his family. The amount Shah Rukh has done for the film industry, I think it owes him!” Warsi added.
### Character Inspired by Shah Rukh Khan
The look of Warsi’s character, Ghafoor, was designed by director Aryan Khan and drew inspiration from Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic role in *Raees*. One of the standout elements of his character is his entry song, which quickly became a sensation. Warsi shared, “Wherever I enter now, they start playing the song. It’s because of the song that my character has become so popular.” Despite the role being quirky and unusual, Warsi expressed trust in Aryan Khan’s vision.
### A Glimpse Into Aryan Khan’s Work Ethic
Working closely with Aryan Khan gave Warsi the opportunity to observe traits reminiscent of Shah Rukh Khan himself. “Aryan is also hard-working like his father. Also, they both don’t sleep. The abundant energy they have is unbelievable,” said Warsi. He also revealed that Shah Rukh Khan visited the sets during filming and even offered suggestions for his role. “The day SRK directs, he will be a very good director,” Warsi enthused.
### What’s Next for Arshad Warsi?
Looking ahead, Arshad Warsi is gearing up for a serious role. He will be seen as a police officer in the upcoming film *Bhagwat Chapter One: Rakshas*, directed by Akshay Shere. “After *Seher*, this is the first time I’m playing a serious cop,” he mentioned. The ZEE5 film also stars Jitendra Kumar, known for his work in *Panchayat*.
Meanwhile, *The Bads of Bollywood*, featuring stars like Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Lakshya, and Raghav Juyal, was released on Netflix in September and continues to attract viewers.

**Veteran Team India All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja Continues Dream Run with the Bat in Test Cricket**
*By Gaurav Tripathi | Oct 04, 2025, 11:22 am*
Veteran Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has continued his phenomenal form with the bat in Test cricket. He scored a stunning century in the first Test between India and West Indies at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. His unbeaten 104-run knock helped India declare at 448/5, responding strongly to West Indies’ first innings score of 162 all out.
### A Stellar Knock from Jadeja
Jadeja came to the crease after KL Rahul’s dismissal at 218 for four and forged a formidable 206-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Dhruv Jurel. While Jurel scored a fluent 125 off 176 balls, featuring 15 fours and three sixes, Jadeja’s aggressive batting ensured India maintained a commanding lead.
His unbeaten 104 was a perfect blend of defense and aggression, particularly effective against spinners. During his 176-ball stay, Jadeja smashed six fours and five sixes, finishing the innings unbeaten and setting a strong platform for India.
### Second-Most Runs in Tests in 2025
Playing his seventh Test in 2025, Jadeja has raced to 659 runs at a stellar average of 82.37 across 13 innings. This includes two centuries and seven fifties. According to ESPNcricinfo, each of Jadeja’s seven 50-plus scores this year have come in his last nine Test innings.
In terms of Test runs in 2025, the southpaw is second only to his skipper Shubman Gill, who has scored 837 runs. No other batter with at least 600 runs in 2025 boasts an average over 70.
### His Best Year in Terms of Test Runs
Jadeja, who made his Test debut back in 2012, has never crossed the 600-run mark in Tests in any other calendar year before 2025. Additionally, he has not recorded six or more 50-plus scores in any other year.
The only other year in which Jadeja hammered multiple Test hundreds was 2022, making 2025 his best year to date in terms of batting performances.
### Record-Breaking Run in Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy
Jadeja was in exceptional form during the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against hosts England, where India earned a 2-2 draw. The southpaw finished the series with 516 runs from 5 Tests (10 innings) at an outstanding average of 86.
He registered one century and five fifties in the series, achieving the joint-most 50-plus scores at No. 6 or lower by any batter in an away Test series – a total of six.
### Other Feats in the England Series
Jadeja set the record for the most 50-plus scores for India in a Test series in England, accumulating six such scores. He also became the first Indian to score over 500 runs in a Test series while batting at six or lower.
Overall, he recorded the third-most runs at this position in an away Test series, underscoring his vital role in India’s batting lineup.
### Jadeja Inches Closer to 4,000 Test Runs
Playing his 86th Test, Jadeja has now amassed 3,990 runs at an average of 38.73, including six centuries and 27 fifties. The 36-year-old is just 10 runs away from becoming the fourth cricketer ever to score 4,000 runs and take over 300 wickets in Test cricket – a remarkable all-round milestone.
During his innings, Jadeja also became the fourth Indian to complete 80 Test sixes, joining the elite company of Virender Sehwag (90), Rishabh Pant (90), and Rohit Sharma (88).

Ravindra Jadeja’s consistent brilliance with both bat and ball continues to be a cornerstone of Team India’s success in Test cricket. His remarkable form in 2025 signals yet another memorable chapter in his illustrious career.

**Gyanesh Kumar-led ECI Team Visits Patna; Bihar Poll Dates Expected Soon**
*By Snehil Singh | October 4, 2025, 1:06 PM*
A delegation from the Election Commission of India (ECI), headed by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, is currently in Patna to review preparations for the upcoming Bihar Legislative Assembly elections. The team also includes Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi.
As part of their visit, an all-party meeting with representatives from the 12 recognized political parties is underway at the Taj Hotel, chaired by CEC Kumar. This meeting serves as a platform to discuss the election process and ensure smooth conduct of the polls.
### Election Preparations Underway
The ECI traditionally visits the state just days before announcing the election schedule. With the Bihar Assembly’s term concluding on November 22, the elections must be held before that date. Ahead of the team’s visit, the ECI briefed General, Police, and Expenditure Observers who will act as Central Observers for these elections, as well as some upcoming by-elections.
### Observer Briefing and Their Role
A total of 425 officers, including IAS, IPS, and IRS personnel, participated in a detailed briefing held at IIIDEM in New Delhi. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar described these observers as “the beacons of democracy,” underlining their critical role in ensuring free and fair elections.
He urged the observers to thoroughly familiarize themselves with all election laws and remain accessible to political parties, candidates, and voters for grievance redressal throughout the electoral process.
### Constitutional Mandate for Central Observers
The ECI appoints Central Observers under Article 324 of the Constitution and Section 20B of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. These observers are vital in maintaining transparency and effective management of elections on the ground.
### Poll Dates Expected Shortly
Although the official dates for Bihar’s Assembly elections have not yet been announced, sources suggest the ECI is likely to declare them on October 6 or 7. With the preparatory groundwork in place, Bihar is gearing up for a crucial electoral exercise in the coming weeks.
