<h2>What has happened so far?</h2><p>The wedding, originally set for November 23 in Sangli, Maharashtra, had been put on hold after Smriti’s father fell seriously ill and was hospitalised.

This led to even more speculation, as her friends, including teammate Jemimah Rodrigues, also removed posts from the pre-wedding events.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Palash Muchhal, too, faced his own health scare and was hospitalised due to stress and exhaustion. Amidst all this drama, Smriti’s decision to erase traces of the wedding raised many questions about the couple’s future together.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Palash’s cousin, Neeti Tak, also took to Instagram to defend him. She urged followers to avoid passing judgment without knowing the full story. In her post, she emphasised that Palash was currently in a critical condition and asked for prayers instead of judgment.

<p>In a record-breaking sale on Wednesday (November 26), the registration number 'HR88B8888' became the most expensive car number plate ever sold in India, fetching a staggering Rs 1.17 crore. The online auction, part of Haryana's regular bidding process for VIP or fancy vehicle registration plates, took place from Friday evening to Monday morning. This particular plate attracted an impressive 45 bids, starting with a base price of Rs 50,000. The price steadily rose, reaching Rs 88 lakh by noon and ultimately settling at Rs 1.17 crore by the end of the auction on Wednesday.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For context, the previous week's top-selling plate, 'HR22W2222,' went for Rs 37.91 lakh. Haryana's online auction system, hosted on the official fancy.parivahan.gov.in portal, allows bidders to choose from a range of coveted registration numbers, often leading to intense competition. The high demand for 'HR88B8888' was no surprise due to its visually appealing symmetry. The sequence of digits resembles eight's, with the letter 'B' in uppercase looking similar to the number 8.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/pan-masala-baron-s-daughter-in-law-deepti-chaurasia-found-dead-in-delhi-home-suicide-suspected-as-investigation-launched-1764157720578"><strong>Pan masala baron’s daughter-in-law, Deepti Chaurasia, found dead in Delhi home; suicide suspected as investigation launched</strong></a></p><h2>What makes 'HR88B8888' unique?</h2><p>The number 'HR88B8888' is an exclusive vehicle registration number with several layers of significance. 'HR' is the state code for Haryana, while '88' identifies the specific Regional Transport Office (RTO) district.

He said he had "no idea" that the White House was going to host the mixed martial arts event on the South Lawn in June.

<p>Every year, on the fourth Thursday of November, Thanksgiving Day is celebrated. The day is marked to celebrate love, respect, and gratitude toward family, friends, and loved ones. Here, take a look at the history, significance, and the reason behind the Thanksgiving celebration on the fourth Thursday of November.</p><h2>Thanksgiving Day 2025- History behind the celebration</h2><p>The celebration of Thanksgiving started back in 1621. When the Pilgrims, who arrived on the Mayflower, held a feast of harvest in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in America. After surviving their first harsh winter days with the help of the Wampanoag Native Americans, the pilgrims celebrate a successful harvest together. The feast for the festival is often remembered as a prominent day of gratitude and harmony within a community or group of people.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/26-11-attack-state-of-siege-26-11-taj-mahal-the-attacks-of-26-11-watch-these-6-movies-and-tv-shows-based-on-the-mumbai-terror-attack-1764137753374"><strong>26/11 Attack: State of Siege 26/11, Taj Mahal, The Attacks of 26/11- Watch these 6 movies and TV shows based on the Mumbai terror attack</strong></a></p><h2>Thanksgiving Day 2025- Importance of the day</h2><p>Thanksgiving is celebrated to honour family togetherness and to express the gratefulness for the harvest, after years of historical struggles. The festival holds significance as in the US, every individual dedicates precious time while seeking blessings from both elders and younger members of the family, as well as from friends. On this day, people have a get-together with a traditional meal to give thanks to one another and take the blessing for the year ahead.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/rush-hour-4-is-finally-happening-all-thanks-to-donald-trump-here-are-the-details-1764147849315"><strong>Rush Hour 4 is finally happening, all thanks to Donald Trump.

<p>Australia’s groundbreaking law prohibiting children under the age of 16 from using social media is now facing a challenge in the country's top court. The case has been brought by two teenagers, Noah Jones and Macy Neyland, who argue that the law is unconstitutional, claiming it infringes on their right to free communication. Set to take effect on December 10, the law mandates that social media platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube prevent anyone under 16 from creating accounts.

It will be available within weeks through specialist centres. Eligible patients will receive two doses of CAR-T therapy intravenously, ten days apart.

She claimed to have been staying in a hotel in Dubai rather than a permanent home due to fear of coercive action by UAE authorities. The royal’s legal team argued that Javadli was unfit to be a parent, stating that the children were not attending school and that their living conditions were unsafe. Rejecting these allegations, Javadli said she had repeatedly provided evidence countering them. Also read: Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed takes the tram home from work.

<p>Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated mostly in the United States and Canada.

<p>China launched an empty capsule to provide a vehicle for the safe return of three astronauts on board the Tiangong Space Station in case of an emergency. The Shenzhou 21 crew was stranded in space after their return spacecraft was used to bring back the Shenzhou &nbsp;20 crew, whose own vehicle was damaged by apparent space debris. The Shenzhou 22 spacecraft was launched aboard a Long March 2F rocket with cargo at 10:41 am IST on Tuesday. It docked with the Chinese space station, covering 400 kilometres in three and a half hours. The new ship wasn't supposed to fly till next year, but the absence of one for the crew at Tiangong led China to pull things into high gear. The engineers responded with a successful earlier launch to ensure Shenzhou 21 was not left without a safety net.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/three-more-chinese-taikonauts-stranded-in-space-as-previous-crew-used-their-return-capsule-1763438031985"><strong>Three more Chinese taikonauts stranded in space as previous crew used their return capsule</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On November 4, the ship that was supposed to bring the Shenzhou 20 crew back was found damaged. Its window was damaged, likely from space junk. The astronauts took pictures, which confirmed that a small triangular area had a crack.

China has launched an unmanned spacecraft for the Shenzhou 21 crew at the Tiangong Space Station. Three taikonauts were left stranded without a safety vehicle in case of an emergency since their capsule was used by the Shenzhou 20 crew after their vehicle was damaged.

China launched an empty capsule to provide a vehicle for the safe return of three astronauts on board the Tiangong Space Station in case of an emergency. The Shenzhou 21 crew was stranded in space after their return spacecraft was used to bring back the Shenzhou 20 crew, whose own vehicle was damaged by apparent space debris. The Shenzhou 22 spacecraft was launched aboard a Long March 2F rocket with cargo at 10:41 am IST on Tuesday. It docked with the Chinese space station, covering 400 kilometres in three and a half hours. The new ship wasn't supposed to fly till next year, but the absence of one for the crew at Tiangong led China to pull things into high gear. The engineers responded with a successful earlier launch to ensure Shenzhou 21 was not left without a safety net.
