2. A fan who waited outside Shahrukh Khan’s house in Mumbai for 95 days got to meet the superstar on his 59th birthday.
3. Statistics from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection showed that in the year ending September 30, 2024, more than 90,000 Indians were apprehended trying to enter the country illegally.
4. After Donald Trump said he wouldn’t offer Nikki Haley a position in his administration, she tweeted: “I didn’t want one anyway.”
5. Pennsylvania passed a law recognizing Diwali as a state holiday.
