34-year-old film actor Sushant Singh Rajput is no more. In a short yet diverse career, the Bollywood star was part of some memorable roles and will never be forgotten. Here are 5 of SSR&rsquo;s best roles in Hindi film industry
Kai Po Che!
Kai Po Che! Sushant Singh Rajput's debut film in 2013 helped him burst on to the scene as a young actor trying to refine his craft. He played Ishan, a young failed cricketer who kept his romance with the game alive by coaching a young kid. The film was hit and so was SSR with the critics.
MS Dhoni: The Untold Story
The 2nd film on the list also revolves around cricket where Sushant played the role of a lifetime. The subject was India&rsquo;s World Cup-winning captain and Sushant mastered the craft of walking, talking &amp; batting like MS Dhoni. The film was a superhit and Sushant helped millions of Indians relieve the iconic 2011 World Cup triumph.
Detective Byomkesh Bakshy
Number 3 on this list is a period drama which got Sushant a lot of critical acclaim. Playing the iconic fictional character Detective Byomkesh Bakshi, Sushant in just his 3rd film blossomed as an actor. Set in the 1940s, Sushant aced the period drama under the watchful eyes of director Dibankar Banerjee. &nbsp;The film bombed at the box office but was critics rated it highly. &nbsp;
Chhichhore
At number 4 on the list was Sushant Singh Rajput&rsquo;s college comedy-drama titled Chhichhore. The 2019 film was by far one of the highest-grossing films of Sushant where he played the role of a college student and then a father who dealt with the tough subject of suicide. The film worked well in the theatres as well as OTT platforms as Sushant perfectly explored the genre of comedy in this film.
Sonchiriya
The 5th and the final film in this countdown is 2019 action drama Sonchriya. Despite the presence of industry stalwarts like Manoj Bajpayee, Ranvir Shorey &amp; Ashutosh Rana, Sushant aced the character of Lakhan Singh, a dreaded dacoit in the ravines of the Chambal valley. While it got the critic&rsquo;s attention, the film failed at the box office.
&nbsp;
There are some good films which couldn&rsquo;t make it to the list like Kedarnath, Rabta &amp; Shuddh Desi Romance. Sushant&rsquo;s upcoming film in the works was Mukesh Chabra&rsquo;s desi version of &lsquo;The Fault in our Stars&rsquo; titled Dil Bechara whose release was postponed due to the global pandemic.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified the Delta, a highly transmissible Covid-19 variant first identified in India, as a "variant of concern."
The CDC said the Delta variant shows increased transmissibility, potential reduction in neutralisation by some monoclonal antibody treatments. It also shows potential reduction in neutralization from sera after vaccination in lab tests.
A particular Covid-19 variant is only dubbed 'variant of concern' when scientists believe that coronavirus strain is shows increased transmissibility and a chance to cause more severe disease.
Vaccines, treatments, and tests that detect the virus may also be less effective against a variant of concern.
The Delta variant, which was dubbed a 'variant of concern' by the WHO on May 10, accounts for around 9.9% of all Covid-19 cases in the United States, the CDC estimates.

Nepal and Bhutan have been lashed by heavy rains in the last three days with the onset of the annual monsoon season. In Nepal, flash floods wreaked havoc in Sindhupalchok and the Melamchi town is submerged in a thick layer of mud &amp; water. As per officials, about 200 houses in the town have been partially or completely damaged. Seven people are reportedly dead and several others are missing.
People in Melamchi moved to higher grounds with their belongings while army helicopters were rescuing those trapped in houses. Authorities urged people living along the Narayani River, which flows into India as Gandak, to remain alert as the river was found to be flowing above the danger mark.

Donald Trump may not have many fans in Pakistan, but this kulfi seller has become a rage on internet for his striking resemblance to the former US President. Pakistani singer Shehzad Roy posted a video of a kulfi seller praising his voice. But what caught internet's eye were his looks, which have a striking resemblance to Trump. In the clip, the elderly man, who reportedly had albinism, can be seen wearing a kurta-pajama while selling ice cream. "Trump selling kulfi in Pakistan", wrote one Twitter user. Others pointed out that the kulfi seller is from Sahiwal in Pakistan and quite famous for his unique way of selling it.

China launched three astronauts as its first crew to its new Tiangong space station on Thursday. This is the country's first manned spaceflight in nearly five years.
The three astronauts are scheduled for a three-month stay aboard the core module of the new space station, which was launched to low Earth orbit on April 28.
This will be the longest space stay for any Chinese astronauts, and one focus will be seeing how the men handle their relatively long time in orbit.
Shenzhou-12, meaning &ldquo;Divine Vessel&rdquo;, is the third of 11 missions needed to build China&rsquo;s space station.

US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded their summit meeting on Wednesday between what the American leader called "two great powers".
After the 3-hour-long talks, Biden voiced confidence that Putin did not want a new Cold War. The US President also said he had told Putin that critical infrastructure must be "off limits" to cyber attacks.
In a bid to bring down tensions, the&nbsp;two leaders agreed to return their countries' ambassadors to their posts. The return of ambassadors follows a diplomatic tug-of-war that saw deep cuts in diplomatic personnel.
Biden also said that he'll continue to raise concerns about cases like the jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Speaking after Biden, Putin said Navalny got what he deserved when he was handed a prison sentence.

Climate group Greenpeace created spectacular images using 300&nbsp;illuminated drones and light projections to send a message on climate change to leaders of the G7 who met in England's Cornwall earlier this week.&nbsp;
From the giant blue whale to the tiny bee, animal images lit up the night sky in Cornwall urging world leaders to 'Act Now' to stop extinction and tackle climate change.&nbsp;
The projection animals were shot across cornwall&nbsp;and drone pilots from across the world sent over footage of deserts, jungles, mountains and Antarctica.&nbsp;
The film is narrated by children who 'hope the grown-ups in charge wake up&rdquo; and &ldquo;defend the forests for the animals and people living there&rdquo;.
The film&rsquo;s music was created by producer and Emmy-nominated composer Hannah Peel,&nbsp;who has scored music for film, theatre and television, including Game of Thrones.

Do you think Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is Lex&nbsp;Luthor? Well... over 8,000 people think so and have signed a petition on Change.org to deny him re-entry into Earth after he makes a trip to the edge of space in July.&nbsp;
The cheekily written petition says that &ldquo;Jeff Bezos is actually Lex Luthor, disguised as the supposed owner of a super successful online retail store, who is actually an evil overlord hell bent on global domination."
The petition has created by someone named Jose Ortiz and goes on say that Bezos&nbsp;is "in bed with the flat earth deniers" and this is the &ldquo;only way they&rsquo;ll allow him to leave the atmosphere."
Bezos, his brother Mark and two others will fly up to&nbsp;the K&aacute;rm&aacute;n line, an imaginary boundary 100 kilometers above sea level where space begins. The space capsule will be launched by Blue Origin, the space rocket launch firm founded by Bezos.&nbsp;

The second largest was 1,109-carat Lesedi La Rona -- a diamond the size of a tennis ball, discovered at Karowe, northeastern Botswana, in 2015.

US President Joe Biden&nbsp;and his Rusisan counterpart Vladimir Putin&nbsp;held a highly anticipated in-person meeting in Geneva on Wednesday. The meeting comes at a time when both leaders agree that relations between their countries are at an all-time low.
For months, the two leaders have traded sharp rhetoric. Biden has repeatedly called out Putin for malicious cyberattacks by Russian-based hackers on U.S. interests, a disregard for democracy with the jailing of Russia's foremost opposition leader and interference in American elections.
While Putin&nbsp;has argued that the U.S. has no business lecturing on democratic norms, referring to the Capitol Hill insurrection&nbsp;and insisted that the Russian government hasn't been involved in any election interference or cyberattacks.&nbsp;

A Pakistani court has adjourned the hearing of a government’s plea to appoint a lawyer for Kulbhushan Jadhav, former Indian Navy officer, now death-row prisoner,

A Pakistani court has adjourned the hearing of a government&rsquo;s plea to appoint a lawyer for Kulbhushan Jadhav, former Indian Navy officer, now death-row prisoner, on request of the country&rsquo;s top law officer, till October 5, according to a media report.
50-year-old Jadhav who is a retired Indian Navy officer, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage and terrorism in April 2017. India had approached the International Court of Justice against Pakistan for denial of consular access to Jadhav and challenging the death sentence. The Hague-based ICJ ruled in July 2019 that Pakistan must undertake an &ldquo;effective review and reconsideration&rdquo; of the conviction and sentence of Jadhav and also to grant consular access to India without further delay.
The Pakistan government last week passed a bill to provide the right of appeal to Jadhav, amidst ruckus and boycott by the Opposition. The bill is aimed at allowing Jadhav to have consular access in line with the ICJ verdict.

The National Investigation Agency on Tuesday released visuals of two men suspected to be involved in a blast near the Israel Embassy in Delhi in January this year. Placing a ₹10 lakh&nbsp;reward&nbsp;for each suspect, the anti-terror agency said it is seeking help to identify and arrest the two individuals seen roaming near the spot on the day of the attack on January 29.

Amid growing traction for the theory that Covid-19 virus may have leaked from a Wuhan lab, China top bat coronavirus researcher has spoke up and has slammed the hypothesis.
Known as China's 'bat woman' Shi Zhengli, who is a researcher at Wuhan Institute of Virology, has told New York Times that there is no evidence to show that the virus escaped from her lab. She has also lamented the "filth being poured on an innocent scientist".
&ldquo;How on earth can I offer up evidence for something where there is no evidence?&rdquo; she told the New York Times in rare comment to the media on the issue.
In a March 2020 article in Scientific American, Shi said that the genetic code of the virus that causes Covid-19 doesn&rsquo;t match any of her lab&rsquo;s samples.
There have been growing calls to probe deeper the possibility of virus lab leak and calls for greater transparency and aooperation from Beijing.

Antibodies and immunity among people who contract Covid-19 remains from six months to a year, and get even better protection when vaccinated, according to a study published on Monday.
The researchers followed up with 63 people 1.3 months, 6 months and 12 months after they got infected. Of these, 41% received one dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna vaccine.
The study published in Nature also found the body&rsquo;s defences to have evolved over time to offer protection from mutations. The study is among the first concrete clues that immunity to the Sars-Cov-2 may be long-lasting.

Vaccines from Pfizer and AstraZeneca Plc protect against Delta variant of Covid-19 that was first detected in India, researchers said on Monday. They found the shot made by Pfizer offered better protection in a large study from Scotland.
Researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh and Strathclyde, as well as Public Health Scotland, found that the Pfizer vaccine offered 92% protection against the alpha variant, found in UK last year, and 79% against the delta one 14 days after the second dose. That compared with 73% and 60% protection for the Astra vaccine.
Researchers said a more complete analysis from these results would be made once it was combined with similar studies from the U.K. and elsewhere.
