In 2022, with your support I was elected as the first Punjabi female School Board Trustee in the city of Abbotsford. Thank you for your vote in confidence in me. In the past 4 years, I attended all 46 schools to create connections with staff and families. In 2026, I ran for City Council in Abbotsford. Unfortunately I was not successful. Thank you for the opportunity to be one of your candidates to run for City Council.

THANK YOU, ABBOTSFORD! DAVE SIDHU
Re-Elected Abbotsford City Councillor
To be entrusted once again with the responsibility of serving the city my family and I call home is deeply humbling. An election result is measured in votes, but what it represents is much greater: trust, expectation, and a shared belief that our community can keep moving forward with purpose. Throughout this campaign, I was reminded that public service is not about any one person. It is about listening carefully, showing up consistently, and making decisions with an understanding that their impact will be felt by families today and by the generations who will inherit this city tomorrow. I am profoundly grateful to every resident who voted, every volunteer who gave their time, every person who opened their door, shared an idea, raised a concern, or simply offered a word of encouragement. To all my friends, volunteers, and campaign staff, THANK YOU. I couldn't have come this far without you. And to my family, thank you for the constant support, patience, and encouragement you’ve given me throughout this journey. Your love has meant more than I can put into words. Abbotsford, thank you for your trust. I will continue working every day to be worthy of it.

Rather unexpectedly you could find yourself in a situation where something from the past needs to be established in a new way to suit present circumstances. This can involve home or family matters but it could also be connected to what you need to manage on a regular basis. Don’t be tempted to act on impulse. Get the facts.
You could suddenly become keen to get things in better order. In part this could be because your energy level is good right now. It could feel as though you are fulfilling a wish you might have had but did not think was realistically possible. When it comes to finances hold off for now on committing yourself to something new.

The New Moon this week occurs in your sign. This could bring some interesting and unexpected new beginnings of some description that could have past connotations attached in some way. Don’t be too worried about trying to work it all out before 20th July and don’t be tempted to jump into anything that means taking a risk. Wait for clarity.
There is a lot going on behind the scenes that could lead to new beginnings. If there are any circumstances around you where you feel there is much more involved than is obvious, you are likely very correct. All you can do is wait for these things to surface when they are ready. In between time, involve yourself in things you enjoy.
You are winding up an 18 month period where there has been an underlying draining influence which could have affected your energy level or situations that you have had to be involved in. You could suddenly decide that certain obligations need to be sorted out in a manner that is fairer to you because you want to establish new priorities.
It might be time to take a new approach to obligations expected of you, especially if you do not feel your efforts are appreciated. Exactly the best way to go about this will not start to become obvious until after 20th July. You might also need to consider ways you have allowed this to happen in the past and change that.
The expectations of somebody else that could be rebellious when it comes to their own needs could get you considering the fairness of it all, especially if it goes against your own priorities. This could encourage you to look at where things need to head in the long term in a completely dif-
An experience you have with somebody else and what they expect could seem as though the past is repeating itself in some way but with a new twist. Don’t expect to have the first stage of clarity as to what this is really all about before 20th July. Carefully weigh up any commitment or responsibility this might bring your way.
Either somebody from the past may reappear with a completely new proposal or attitude towards things or you could be reminded of what you have experienced in the past by a new person. Just what it is all about may not fully surface before 20th July. This could make you realise just how much your view of the future has changed.
Now would be the time to look into embarking on a new health regime, if that has been nagging at you lately. For others it could be considering alterations to normal routines that could make things more comfortable in some way. Somebody else could be encouraging you to upgrade things in some way. That is up to you.
You could decide to go back to something you have enjoyed in the past. It won’t be exactly the same and this might generate some doubts initially. If there is a social component to it, you could meet some interesting people. It could help you to take an alternative view to the manner in which you have normally structured things in life.

Something you thought was settled and agreed to in the past may now need to take a new direction. Be mindful of any pressure this could put upon you financially. You cannot afford to take a risk. The need to find out more information is a strong possibility. Don’t expect instant answers – they could start to come after 20th July.

Aneet embraces Aamir Khan eyes international action film unfamiliar
After the phenomenal success of Saiyaara, actor Aneet Padda is stepping away from familiar romantic territory to explore a completely different cinematic space. With her upcoming film Shakti Shalini, part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, the young actor is embracing action, romance and supernatural elements, signalling her willingness to experiment rather than repeat a successful formula. In an interview with Variety India, Aneet revealed that she consciously wanted to pursue a different genre after Saiyaara, which paired her with Ahaan Panday and turned both actors into overnight stars. She considers Shakti Shalini an opportunity to explore a new side of her personality as a performer. “I have been lucky to get Shakti Shalini. It’s by definition, the exact thing I’m going to want to do after Saiyaara. It’s so different. It’s action, romance and supernatural. I’ve gotten the chance to explore a completely different version of me,” she said. Beyond experimenting with genres, Aneet is also stepping into the responsibility of leading a film independently. The actor expressed her desire to headline a womenled project, acknowledging both the excitement and the pressure that come with carrying a story on her shoulders. “I wanted to be able to say that this is my movie. As an actor, it’s on my shoulders. And how many women get to do that?” she said, describing the opportunity as both intimidating and rewarding. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Shakti Shalini centres on Shakti, an ordinary woman who becomes a protector, while a vengeful spirit named Shalini seeks justice after betrayal and murder. Featuring Vishal Jethwa alongside Aneet, the film is scheduled for a theatrical
Fatima challenges gender stereotypes For Fatima Sana Shaikh, women motorcyclists continue to riding a motorcycle is a source face on the road. She questioned of freedom and happiness. But why a woman riding a vehicle the actress believes society’s should attract unusual attention, tendency to associate bikes with stressing that learning to ride is men has turned women riders no different from mastering any into an exception, when riding other skill. “We’re so used to should be treated as an ordinary associating bikes with men, so skill anyone can learn. In when a woman rides one, it a n suddenly becomes this interview, extraordinary thing. And honestly, Fatima that’s kind of ridiculous, because opened at the end of the day, it’s just a u p vehicle,” she said. What troubles about her more is that such prejudice t h e sometimes escalates into gender intimidation and harassment. stereotypes Fatima pointed out that women a n d riders have faced situations where harsment they are pushed or deliberately targeted, simply for choosing to ride. Her own journey with motorcycles, including riding through Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh while shooting Dhak Dhak, has deepened her appreciation for the experience. “I don't ride to prove a point. I ride because I enjoy it,” she said, hoping for a future where seeing a woman on a motorcycle is as ordinary as seeing a man ride one.

Aamir Khan has his sights set on the global stage, with his production house reportedly exploring an action spectacle beyond Bollywood. Aamir Khan Productions has been in talks with Hong Kong filmmaker and actor Stephen Chow for an action-heavy project envisioned to "compete on an international scale." Aamir Khan has bigscreen ambitions, and his production house is reportedly shopping beyond Bollywood for an action spectacle. Aamir Khan Productions has been in talks with Hong Kong filmmaker and actor Stephen Chow for an actionheavy project that can “compete on an international scale”. Sources inform that Khan is determined to make an action film that is larger in scale than any other Indian movie. “His contemporaries Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have
already headlined big-ticket action spectacles. [While Aamir has done action], he is keen to explore the genre with a film that can compete on an international scale. Given Stephen’s distinctive approach to action and physical comedy, Aamir is keen to work on something with him,” shares a source close to production. However, the project is far from locked. Khan, known to take his time before committing to a film, is considering several scripts. “Aamir is also weighing an actioner by Atlee. He has requested time till March 2027. Right now his focus is on Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Lalkaara [based on the historic 1952 India-Pakistan Test cricket series] and director Rajkumar Hirani’s sequel to 3 Idiots which will be ready by January 2027,” adds the source.
Kriti steps into a new world
Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon, who has been having a dream-run at the box-office with her recent hits, will be next seen in a yet-to-be-titled horror film. While the details about the film are under the wraps, the film is an all out horror flick. After Cocktail 2 and Tere Ishk Mein, the actress wanted to explore different genres, and has now locked her eyes on a horror film. A source closer to the development revealed, “After receiving praise for her performances in Cocktail 2 and Tere Ishk Mein, Kriti has finally locked her next project. She’s always been keen to explore different genres, and this time, she’s stepping into the world of pure horror with a large-scale film produced by Maddock which she will be headlining”. This marks her 9th collaboration with Maddock Films. Her association with Maddock Films has previously resulted in memorable collaborations, and her return to a solo lead with the production house adds another exciting dimension to their creative partnership. Meanwhile, Kriti’s last film, Cocktail 2, directed by Homi Adajania and co-starring Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna crossed INR 100 crore worldwide within 6 days. However, its collections slowed as the theatrical run progressed.
Actor Saiyami Kher has criticised the scrutiny female actors face over their appearances and personal lives, defending Katrina Kaif and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan against unsolicited public judgement. As she completes a decade in the film industry, Saiyami has also reflected on rejection, success and staying true to herself. Calling online voyeurism unfortunate, Saiyami said being a public figure does not give people the right to comment on someone’s personal circumstances. She emphasised that women deserve the freedom to live life on their own terms without pressure to meet public expectations. Reflecting on her career, the Haiwaan actor described rejection as an inevitable part of an actor’s journey. Rather than viewing it as defeat, she believes it offers opportunities for learning and growth. Despite not always having multiple scripts to choose from, she has remained unwilling to portray women merely as props in a story. For Saiyami, success goes beyond box-office numbers and includes building relationships, gaining knowledge and making meaningful choices.

FIRM BACKGROUND ALG Lawyers was founded by Jasdeep Aujla. ALG established its roots in Abbotsford and now provides legal services and has lawyers across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, with offices in Surrey and Vancouver. Jas has been acknowledged and has the distinction of being the first South Asian from the city of Abbotsford to play CIS football at UBC. On account of pioneering that achievement, he continues to ensure that ALG is involved in local sports organizations amongst other local community initiatives. Most recently, Jas and other lawyers at ALG were asked to assist in helping to bring the 55+ BC Summer Games to Abbotsford.
