I always expected people from the industry to tell me how I performed in all my films. However, from my own field, very few (my co-workers) appreciated my roles and work,' he shared. 'I struggled to share my film posters with celebrities; most of the time, I was misunderstood. Many media persons and co-workers hurt me deeply. But today, I'm so happy to have received such appreciation from Kamal Sir—it made my day.
'Joseph' made me happy, while the rest is just a bonus.
As a human being, I feel satisfied and fulfilled through his words. Thug Life is a memorable experience for me, and working with everyone on it was remarkable.'
He also thanked director
Mani Ratnam
for believing in him.'The opportunity to work with Mani Ratnam Sir was a huge honour. I dedicate all this appreciation to those who supported me during tough times.'

"Cut Off Her Internet Access": Social Media Users React To Woman Turning Her Bathroom Into Chia Spa
When you buy chia seeds, your immediate thought might be to use them in preparing healthy smoothies or overnight puddings. After all, chia seeds are packed with the goodness of protein, antioxidants, rich fiber and omega-3 fatty acids - a combination that promotes a healthy heart, supports digestion and boosts energy. But turning an entire bathroom into a chia seed garden? Well, that would probably be the last thing on your mind. Believe it or not, digital creator Jessie Jacobson did just that. Eager to take a 'green bath,' she revamped her bathroom into a chia seed spa. Jessie Jacobson shared a video on Instagram demonstrating the process of growing chia seeds. 'I decided I wanted to take a green bath. That's when it hit me - what if I could grow an entire ecosystem in my bathroom? Clearly it was just a blank canvas,' she said. First, it was the bathtub. She smeared the seeds on the surface, calling the procedure a little 'chaotic'. The time-lapse video showed how the seeds evolved into lush green sprouts. She followed the process for the sink and the flush toilet, spraying mist on the seeds three times a day (morning, noon and night) for a week. Much to Jessie's excitement, they actually started to grow. 'I'm a proud owner of the world's first fully functioning chia spa,' claimed the creator with pride. Inspired by her creation, she also made a 3D-printed Shrek headband and a set of fake nails from - you guessed it right - chia seeds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jessie Jacobson (@growithjessie) Of course, the internet had some interesting comments. 'What's the point of all of this?' asked a user. 'I really wish she didn't do the toilet seat,' said another. 'So happy it's finally finished. Looks amazing! Although I'm sure you could add a chia bath mat too,' suggested one person. A critic wished to 'cut off her internet access'. 'Just praying this is your second bathroom,' a user hoped. 'Girl, blink twice if the chia has taken over your account,' read another comment.

Radhika Das announces nine-city India tour
UK-based kirtan artist and bhakti yoga teacher Radhika Das will tour nine Indian cities this November with Silence in Sound , a series of live mantra meditation gatherings. The tour, which spans New Delhi, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune, Indore, Bengaluru and Mumbai, will blend traditional devotional singing with storytelling and guided meditation. The events aim to offer accessible spiritual experiences rooted in ancient Vedic practices. Each two-hour session will feature call-and-response mantra chanting, supported by an ensemble mixing classical Indian and contemporary instruments, including harmonium, mridanga, saxophone and bass guitar. Radhika Das has previously performed at international festivals and venues including Bhakti Fest, World Yoga Festival, The British Museum and Union Chapel. With more than 50 million digital streams, his global work has centred on using sound as a medium for connection and reflection. 'This is a homecoming,' said Das ahead of the tour. 'These chants have ancient roots here. My goal is to create a space where people can reconnect with that legacy.' The performances are designed for a wide audience, requiring no prior experience in meditation or chanting. Organisers note that the carefully selected venues are chosen for their acoustic quality and spiritual resonance. The India tour marks a significant expansion of Radhika Das's work in creating immersive spiritual spaces that move beyond traditional frameworks, with a focus on inclusivity, emotional connection and collective introspection.
