Internet reacts with memes as UNO arrives at Las Vegas casino tables, but there's a bummer
Mattel's Global Head of Games, Ray Adler, said, 'We created UNO Social Clubs to reimagine what game night can be, bringing people together for real-world fun, connection, and a bit of friendly competition.' Adler added that this Las Vegas event is just the beginning of more such UNO experiences.
Internet reacts with jokes, memes, and hilarious takes
It didn't take long for the internet to turn this announcement into meme gold. One person joked, 'I can't wait to lose my life savings in a game of high-stakes UNO.' Another said, 'This is going to end with multiple murders,' hinting at the chaos the +4 card usually causes.

A few called it 'Gen Z marketing,' while someone else warned, 'That plus four card about to end lives, not friendships now.' Clearly, UNO at a Vegas casino is giving people all the meme content they needed this week.

That plus four card about to end lives not friendships now
What's the catch?
But here's the catch: UNO won't actually be used for gambling on the casino floors. It's all part of a social event and not an official betting game. So, if you were dreaming of betting your chips on a +4, sorry, that's not happening.

‘Param Sundari' Vs ‘Chennai Express': Gen Z Draws Parallels Between Sidharth-Janhvi And SRK-Deepika's Iconic Duo
New Delhi: Ever since the release of the latest song Pardesiya from the Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor starrer Param Sundari, netizens have been drawing comparisons to the iconic Bollywood film Chennai Express, which starred Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. Social media is buzzing with excitement ahead of the film's release, with many calling it Gen Z's Chennai Express. "Sidharth Malhotra & Janhvi Kapoor in *Param Sundari* are low-key channeling SRK-Deepika's Chennai Express* vibes… and now we need a full-blown collab! Who else sees it? #BollywoodDejaVu #ParamSundari" — Bollywood Masti (@bollymastivilla) May 29, 2025 Why Is Param Sundari Being Hailed as Gen Z's Chennai Express? Social media users have pointed out striking similarities between the plotlines of the two films. Param Sundari is being likened to Chennai Express due to its storyline that revolves around a romance between a North Indian man and a South Indian woman, blended with elements of action and comedy. Even the South Indian aesthetics—think bindi and gajra—have triggered waves of nostalgia among fans. The introductory poster of the film has also drawn comparisons to Chennai Express, adding fuel to the ongoing discussion. In the teaser released earlier, a group of villagers from Janhvi's side can be seen chasing someone with axes and weapons—an action sequence that instantly reminded fans of a similar moment in Chennai Express. One user commented, 'Looks like a Gen Z Chennai Express.' Another said, 'Chennai Express? Nevertheless, Sid looks so good.' A third wrote, 'Why does Janhvi's look remind me of Deepika from Chennai Express?!?' A fourth wondered, 'Why does it feel like Chennai Express 2?' A curious fan even asked, 'Isme Lungi Dance 2.0 hoga kya?' 'It's giving Chennai Express but with new actors,' a fifth user said. Some even demanded a crossover: 'Sidharth Malhotra & Janhvi Kapoor in Param Sundari are low-key channeling SRK-Deepika's Chennai Express vibes… and now we need a full-blown collab.' Pardesiya Song The track Pardesiya from Param Sundari is winning over fans, thanks to the sizzling chemistry between Sidharth and Janhvi Kapoor and the soulful voice of Sonu Nigam. The film, which was earlier set to release on July 25, will now hit theatres on August 29. Param Sundari is directed by Tushar Jalota.

The K-Beauty secret Gen Z can't get enough of
Stray Kids' Hyunjin and IVEJang won young, as well as famous K-pop singers, are also diligent about skin care Try scrolling without seeing a glowy face or " glass skin " tag-it's nearly impossible. But this isn't just marketing sparkle; studies show it's about global pop icons blending lifestyle with skincare. According to Statista, 58% of global shoppers say K-pop and K-drama shape what they choose from Korea. For young adults, the craze feels personal, and that's no accident. Take Jang Wonyoung, the much-admired idol from IVE. She's famous not just for her stage talent, but for her signature hydration routine -multiple thin layers of essence and cream that build up a fresh, plumped look, all sealed with gentle patting. "Hydration is the core of my routine. I never skip sheet masks-sometimes even twice a day before shoots!" she revealed in an interview collected by Korea Cosmetic Newspaper. This "layering" approach is getting rave reviews from young fans for delivering real, lasting results. But she's not alone: Stray Kids' Hyunjin, another K-pop favorite, openly discusses how he manages sensitivity and breakouts. His go-to: calming, nature-based products like cica toner and green tea cleansers, always sealed by sunscreen. In a recent YouGov survey, 62% of Indian Gen Z say they pick routines that "look authentic and gentle," a trend Hyunjin helped fuel by posting his nighttime routine-proving that even without a glam squad, a K-pop-inspired ritual can be part self-care, part self-expression. It's no wonder Korean skincare is flying off shelves in India, with reports by KOTRA and Social Beat India confirming a sharp jump in K-Beauty's popularity, driven by idol-fueled trends-not just ads. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo What Makes K-Beauty So Addictive? Aloe, Tech, and the Idol Factor Ask anyone in their twenties: why all the K-Beauty hype? It comes down to real benefits, affordable prices, and-according to K-Beauty expert consultant Ms. Cho Hyee Jung-super gentle but innovative formulas. "K-Beauty products are winning over young Indians because their natural ingredients and advanced blends give that moisturized, healthy 'glass skin' look with zero irritation," she explains. Ms. Cho adds that the ritual itself feels like "a healing session," blending wellness with daily style. Numbers back this up. Cosrx India's survey finds 62% of Gen Z (18-26) are chasing "youthful confidence," with 96% buying skincare in the last 6 months. Key sellers stay below ₹1,200-about ₹1,200 for a full set, with deep sale prices even hitting ₹400. Compare that to global brands at ₹2,500 and up, and you see why so many K-beauty products sell out online. And while K-Beauty is famous for natural boosts-think aloe, green tea, hyaluronic acid-what really stands out is personalization. Korean brands now offer AI-powered skin analysis and AR try-ons, plus halal/vegan options. Some even customize formulas for Indian skin and climate, as per Vogue Business' latest report. Social Media, Idol Routines, and the Ultimate Fandom-Beauty Link Move over, influencer plug: K-pop idol recommendations are powering a new level of skincare chatter. In just two years, Social Beat India clocked 6.2 million posts about K-beauty and K-pop, with the 19-24 crowd at the heart. Launchmetrics data shows K-pop stars now drive nearly 60% of global beauty event buzz-sometimes clicking over ₹515 crore in media value, each event. The result? YouGov India reports a 22% spike in real purchases-all from fan trust in how Jang Wonyoung or Hyunjin "really care for their skin." Brands see this, too: K-pop idols have moved up to creative directors, even shaping new product releases based on their routines and feedback. More Than a Trend-Why K-Beauty Fits Your Vibe For millions of young Indians, copying a K-pop skin routine isn't about copying a star; it's about finding personal power, relaxation, and a sense of global connection. KOTRA says over 70.7% of K-content fans (ages 17-30) "genuinely consider Korean skincare when shopping". Ms. Cho notes that K-Beauty's rise isn't a quick trend, but a shift to "wellness, individuality, and a moment of self-care that genuinely feels good. " No matter your budget or your skin challenges, there's a K-pop-inspired routine or product that fits-and a generation finding joy and confidence, one sheet mask at a time.

Aamir & Aamna on their bond: Having genuine friends is a big deal
Aamir Ali and Aamna Sharif's friendship isn't loud or flashy—it's the kind that runs deep, built over years of quiet loyalty and unwavering presence. Ask them about their first impressions, Aamna Sharif says: 'I'm very reserved—I don't even remember how we became friends. It must have just been a 'hello' many years ago.' Aamir adds, 'She's shy and reserved. People used to think she had an attitude, but I saw the real her. And after all this time, it just feels like family.' Aamir Ali and Aamna Shariff on their decade long friendship Their admiration for each other's work is evident, but it's the consistent support off-screen that makes their bond special. 'Every time I'm doing something new or I'm confused about something, the first call goes to Aamir. He's that one person whose advice I always count on.' Aamir adds, 'I've been Aamna's friend and fan since her TV days. She was huge then. I've always admired that we both prefer doing less work, but meaningful work—we're not hungry for just anything.' The 43-year-old actor says: 'While he's been the biggest support, it's also true that we are not running behind work just for the sake of it. When Aamir announces his new project I am keen to watch it as I know he aims at quality project just like me.' Ask them what friendship means to them in today's time, Aamna says, 'Having one or two genuine friends in the industry is a big deal. Especially during your lows more than your highs, because that's when you really need someone to stand by you. For me, that person is Aamir. He's honest, if he doesn't like something I've done, a character maybe, he'll just tell me, 'You could've done better,' and I really value that feedback of his.' Aamir adds, 'Be real and be there. In today's time everyone is caught up in their own lives. You being there for your friend KMC even without them voicing it out, makes a difference.' Seeing their busy schedules, the duo don't meet regularly but their connection remains intact. 'Even if we don't talk for one or two months, it's the same when we reconnect. We haven't met in almost ten months, but that doesn't matter. She (Aamna) knows I'm there for her, and I know she's there for me,' says Aamir. 'That silent support in friendship is what is the best. Our bond is not about calling each other every now and then,' says Aamna. Recalling their fondest moment together, the duo shares how little rituals—like their competitive gaming sessions are their favourite. Recalling the same, Aamna shares: 'There was a time we were playing UNO and whoever lost had to become a donkey. I had to make sure he (Aamir) lost. And when he did, I was the happiest!' Aamir admits, 'It's true, if ten people are playing, I don't care who wins or loses, but I have to beat her. That's the only thing that matters for both of us!' Reflecting on what initially surprised them about each other, Aamir says, 'When I first saw her, I thought she was just beautiful. But over time, I realised she's a lot of fun too—just with the people she's comfortable with. Amu is very particular about who she lets into her circle, and I'm one of the only few people who can make fun of her and get away with it,' says Aamir, adding, 'We don't intrude in each other's space, but we're always there if it really matters.' Aamna, in turn, says, 'He's a fun guy. And I used to think I'm boring, but with him, it's always a good time. No matter what time or what day it is, even if I call him after five months and say I need you, Aamir will leave everything and be there for me. I don't think I can ask for more from a friend.'
