Fahadh Faasil channels Ranga at event
In a video shared by a fan, students can be heard cheering loudly as Fahadh shows off some moves on stage. After asking an impressed but hesitant Kalyani to join in, the actor goes into full Ranga-mode and brings the house down with his quirkiness. Numerous students can be seen with their phones whipped out, recording his every move as Fahadh seems to have a ball while dancing.
The video was recorded at a promotional event in Kerala for his upcoming film Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira. Revathy Pillai, producer Aashiq Usman, and director Althaf Salim were also in attendance. Fans left Ranga GIFs, apart from heart and fire emojis, under the video. For the unversed, Fahadh played a Malayali-Kannadiga gangster named Ranjith Gangadharan, aka Ranga, who lives in Bengaluru in Aavesham. His mannerisms, clothing and acting in the film had left the audience impressed.

Wash your hands before getting seated, as the Kerala Sadhya is eaten with the right hand. Serving Order: The meal starts with salt, pickles, and chips, which activate the palate and prepare the digestive system. This is followed by rice, sambar, rasam, and other dishes, finishing with desserts like payasam. Eating Technique: Begin by mixing small morsels of rice with curries like rasam and sambar. Combine small amounts of rice with each gravy and consume other items next, leaving dessert for last. Finish the meal completely, as wastage is not appreciated. Banana Leaf Folding: Once finished, fold the banana leaf inwards to signal completion. If pleased with the meal, fold the corner to the right over the banana leaf. Photo Credit: iStock Here Are 5 Traditional Dishes To Prepare For Onam Sadya 2025 1. Avial (Mixed Vegetable Curry) Avial showcases Kerala's love for vibrant flavours and textures. This dish is a symphony of mixed vegetables like carrots, beans and raw bananas, cooked in a coconut-based gravy with a hint of cumin and green chillies. Finished with a drizzle of coconut oil and curry leaves, Avial is a delightful side dish in the Onam Sadya feast. 2. Sambar Sambar is the heart of Onam Sadya, providing a rich, protein-packed base to the meal. This lentil curry is made with toor dal, mixed vegetables and a blend of spices, including sambar powder and tamarind paste. Sambar is both nourishing and flavourful. 3. Pachadi Pachadi is a sweet and tangy curry that balances the spicier dishes in the Onam Sadya. Made with fresh pineapple chunks, coconut milk and a hint of ginger paste, this dish is a refreshing contrast to the richer curries. With its unique flavour profile, pachadi adds depth to the festive feast. 4. Thoran Thoran is a dry stir-fry made with finely chopped vegetables like cabbage or carrots, mixed with grated coconut and spices. This dish is quick to prepare and bursting with flavour, thanks to the combination of coconut, chillies and curry leaves. It is a staple in Onam Sadya, showcasing Kerala's love for simple yet delicious cuisine. 5. Payasam Payasam is the quintessential dessert in Onam Sadya, symbolising the sweetness of life. Made with rice, milk, sugar and coconut milk, this creamy pudding is flavoured with cardamom and garnished with cashews and raisins. Payasam is an indulgent treat that concludes the Onam feast on a sweet note.

When Janhvi Kapoor revealed how she bagged her debut film Dhadak with Karan Johar: ‘Audition dena padha tha'
Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor is currently busy gearing up for her next film Param Sundari. Also starring Sidharth Malhotra, the much-awaited rom com backed by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, follows the love story of a Malayali girl from Kerala and a Punjabi munda from Delhi. When the first song Pardesiya released, Janhvi's look reminded many fans of her late superstar mother Sridevi. Well, ahead of the release of Janhvi's next film, the actor's old video talking about bagging her debut project Dhadak has now resurfaced on social media. Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter in Dhadak Two years ago in a chat with Mashable India, Janhvi Kapoor revealed how she got her Bollywood dream debut with Dhadak (2018), co-starring Ishaan Khatter. The star kid shared, 'Audition dena padha tha. I went to meet Karan (Johar, filmmaker), and Karan knew of me through Manish (Malhotra, designer). Mujhe toh pehele laga hi nahi ki mujhe milne wala tha, toh I was like mazze kar rahi hun main, Karan Johar ke saath, audition kar rahi hun, acting tips mil rahe hain, mera kya jaata hai. And then he said I want you to meet Shashank and he wants you to read for him. So then I did a series of readings for Shashank and he'd give me scenes from Badri, Humpty. So I read and then he never actually told me I got the film.' When asked if things were up in the air for 1-1.5 months, Janhvi replied, 'Ek dedh nahi, Karan ke saath toh 3-4 mahina hawe mein tha. Then after this I kept reading, reading, reading and I was like 'achha chal raha hai yeh acting workshop, lekin life mein karungi kya samajh nahi aa raha hai'.' The young actor has come a long way. After Param Sundari, which is set to arrive in theatres on August 29, Janhvi will reunite with her Bawaal co-star Varun Dhawan in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.

Onam 2025: Revisit The Story Of King Mahabali In Photos
1/10 It is believed that Mahabali defeated the gods and took over the three worlds. With his growing popularity and fame, the gods became extremely concerned and jealous. They felt threatened about their own supremacy and urge Lord Vishnu to help them in their fight against the demon king. (File Photo) Mahabali was a devotee of Lord Vishnu and was very generous and charitable. Vishnu, in his Vamana (poor Brahmin) avatar, visited Mahabali to test the king. He made the king agree to his wish. Disguised as Vamana, Vishnu said he was a poor Brahmin and asked for a piece of land measuring 'three paces". Mahabali agreed to this wish. (File Photo) 7/10 The Vamana avatar then grew in size and covered everything the king ruled in just two steps. To keep his word and honour, Mahabali offered his head for the third step. Impressed by his gesture, Lord Vishnu allowed him to return to Earth once every year. The day of his visit to Kerala is celebrated as Onam every year. (File Photo) Onam is the rice harvest festival in Kerala and all the 10 days of the celebrations has its own significance. On the occasion of 'Thiru Onam", the most auspicious day of the 10-day-long festival, people visit temples in large numbers, cutting across villages and towns in the morning. (File Photo) The characteristic floral designs 'pookkalam' are symbolic of the festival. People make different types of patters in their houses with flowers and light lamps to invite King Mahabali to their house. (File Photo) Sadya, a multi-course meal served on banana leaves, is one of the biggest highlights of Onam. The meal consists of rice along with different dishes, pickles, papads and a sweet dish called 'payasam'. The festival also sees people taking part in boat races called Vallam Kali. (File Photo)
