UK to ban reselling event tickets for profit
LONDON — Reselling tickets to live events for a profit is set to be banned by the UK government.Ministers are expected to announce the plan in a bid to tackle touts and resale sites which offer tickets at several times' face value.Restricting ticket touts was one of the Labour government's election pledges, as fans complained of massively inflated prices for resale tickets for music and sporting events.The decision comes a week after dozens of artists including Sam Fender, Dua Lipa and Coldplay urged Sir Keir Starmer to protect fans from exploitation.A consultation on the changes had canvassed views on capping costs at up to 30% above the face value of a ticket.But reports in the Guardian and Financial Times say ministers are expected to set the limit at face value, although...

Shah Rukh Khan at The 2025 Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on May 5
The last of India’s mythic superstars
MUMBAI — The ritual begins, as it always does, with a pilgrimage.People pour in from the dense warrens of India’s financial capital and from dusty villages thousands of kilometers away, all flowing towards the fortified, sea-facing Mumbai home of actor Shah Rukh Khan.The crowd is a mix of teenagers angling for a glimpse of the icon inside; middle-aged women for whom he was a first love; grown men who see their own aspirations mirrored in his trajectory.Known as “SRK” by millions, and “King Khan” to his fans, he turned 60 last week, and the chaotic display of devotion outside his home is a testament to a level of stardom rarely seen elsewhere.The air is thick with chants celebrating his milestone. Some have waited overnight. They don masks or T-shirts with his face on, or clutch...

The original Power Rangers aired on US TV in the 1990s and there have been multiple spin-offs
Japanese series that inspired Power Rangers to end after 50 years
TOKYO — A Japanese superhero series that inspired the hugely popular Power Rangers TV and movie franchise from the 1990s is ending after 50 years, local media report.Super Sentai will go off air as sales from merchandise and events have not been enough to cover production costs, reports say. Its broadcaster TV Asahi declined to comment on "future programming", according to the Asahi newspaper.The series premiered in 1975 and its formula — five teens who transform into colourful masked fighters to battle aliens — served as the blueprint for Power Rangers in the US and many other superhero shows that aired in Asia.It also served as a launchpad for the careers of many Japanese actors.Super Sentai was much more than a TV series. The show that aired weekly was essentially an advertisement...

‘India’s Picasso’ is breaking auction records — enraging the Hindu right
SINGAPORE — For the complex legacy of M.F. Husain, one of 20th-century India’s most important artists, this year has been a tale of two auctions.In March, one of the late painter’s monumental depictions of rural life, the 14-foot-long “Untitled (Gram Yatra),” became the most expensive modern Indian artwork ever to go under the hammer. The $13.75 million price tag almost doubled the previous record, with onlookers at Christie’s in New York bursting into spontaneous applause.Three months later, an auction of 25 long-lost Husain paintings in Mumbai was far less celebratory. Police patrolled the premises and erected barricades at the auctioneer’s office after a right-wing Hindu nationalist group warned of “strong public agitation” if calls to cancel the sale — due to...
