Frasier departs, might get a new job
MUMBAI: The multiple Emmy-winning NBC series Frasier ended its phenomenal run on Thursday.The one hour-long final episode had moments of slapstick comedy, warm emotional moments and a subtle romantic twist.
The episode ended with Frasier’s brother Niles and Niles’ wife Daphne getting their first child and the family patriarch Martin Crane getting married to Ronee. Frasier will be leaving Seattle to accept a new job in San Francisco.
“The reason I’m leaving is because I want what all of you have right now — a new chapter,” said an emotional Frasier.
Kelsey Grammer, who immortalised the lead character Prof. Frasier Crane in the five-time Emmy winner, had earlier hinted that his long-running character might return on another television series.
Now, even the Frasier show has ended leaving the fans guessing about a possible spin-off.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
