KOLKATA, India – December 13, 2025

Kolkata woke up to an unprecedented scene of devotion early Saturday morning as football icon Lionel Messi, accompanied by his celebrated teammates Luis Suarez and Rodrigo De Paul, landed in the city. Their arrival, marking the official kick-off of Messi's highly anticipated pan-India tour, transformed the city's streets into an electric sea of Argentine blue and white.


 Despite the fact that the legendary players touched down at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport around 1:30 AM IST, the enthusiasm of the Indian football faithful was undeterred. Thousands of fans, many of whom had gathered before midnight, lined the airport exit and surrounding streets, eager to catch the briefest glimpse of the global superstar.

The overwhelming response underscores India’s deep, long-standing passion for international football. Crowd control required heavy security detail to escort Messi and his contingent from the airport to their hotel, highlighting the sheer scale of the reception.

Here is Nikunj Malik's Interview After the Swayamvar... Nikunj Mallik Mysteriously, Rahul Mahajan seemed like great marriage material to besotted young girls (or they put up a very good act, at any rate) on Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega. Nikunj Malik, one of the three finalists, decided to stop looking at him through rose-tinted glasses and is now rather vocal about her dislike. She says, “I feel Dimpy is perfect for Rahul as both have similar habits and lifestyles, which is not very acceptable to me. Though Rahul was quite interested in me, which was quite evident, I realised he’s not the kind of person I’d like to spend my life with.” A man never changes his spots, darling, so what possessed her to go for someone like Rahul? She says, “For the past two years, there has been no negative publicity about him. When at 35, a man wants to settle down and have a family, that worked for me. He is a nice man, but it’s obvious there is no visible improvement. It was the drinking, smoking and C...
