Title of Talk: Final fate a massive collapsing stars

ABSTRACT:-

We discuss here one of the major open issues and challenges in black hole physics today, and the current progress on the same. In particular, we discuss the recent results investigating the final fate of a massive star within the framework of the Einstein gravity, and the gravitational collapse outcomes in terms of black holes and naked singularities. It is pointed out that some of the new results obtained in recent years in the theory of gravitational collapse imply interesting possibilities.
