“The horses are not getting grass, while the donkeys are eating Chyawanprash. This popular Indian phrase highlights the irony of deserving people being deprived while those who don’t deserve it are enjoying abundance.”

Don’t connect the dots; it’s just a line for fun. 

Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch has married for the fifth time with a retired Russian biologist, Elena Zhukova. Murdoch tied the knot with Zhukova in a ceremony at his Californian vineyard. His fifth wife is about 27 years younger than him. 

Rumors suggest that Rupert Murdoch and Elena Zhukova were dating soon after the mogul’s engagement to ex-police chaplain Ann Lesley Smith was called off in April 2023.

Mr Rupert Murdoch is the owner of Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, the Times and the Sun. He has six children from his ex wives. He left the position of chairman of Fox and News Corp last year. Now, his son Lachlan heads both companies.
