A video shows how the two, defying all challenges and stereotypes, met on social media during Covid and got married within five months of knowing each other. The user named Taina Shah took to her Instagram account to share a couple of pictures documenting their journey. "We share our multicultural love story, break taboos, and speak up for open minds about colourism. We celebrate a love that crosses cultures, challenges stereotypes, and inspires others to embrace diversity," Shah wrote in the post. She highlighted her first meeting with her now husband during Covid, when he travelled to Brazil to meet her at a time when there were no vaccines yet. "We fell in love and got married just five months after we met. When you know, you know," Shah added.

Watch: Indian Woman Joins Korean Boyfriend's Family Feast, Wins Hearts Online
Dating someone from another culture often means your taste buds end up dating too. Suddenly, dinner isn't just pizza or pasta; it is you learning how to eat with chopsticks, or them trying to handle your version of "not that spicy" curry. Those little food moments, laughing over mispronounced dish names, trading recipes from home, or introducing each other to comfort food, become some of the sweetest parts of the relationship. That's exactly what Indian content creator Piyusha Patil showed when she shared her experience of spending Lunar New Year with her South Korean boyfriend's family. Her video, posted on Instagram, was about sharing food and those small cultural surprises that make cross-cultural relationships so memorable. The main dish of the day was Mandu Tteokguk, which is dumpling rice cake soup, a staple of the celebration. Piyusha rolled up her sleeves and joined the family in preparing Mandus. Huge containers of filling were set out, and everyone sat around shaping dumplings together. Some were perfectly neat, others were made into fun little shapes, each one carrying a bit of personality. "His dad and uncle were in the kitchen, while we were on duty to fill up the Mandus," she shared. "Honestly, it was a fun time. I told his family all the funny stories I knew." Of course, no family cooking session is complete without a quick grocery run. "We had to go out to get one missing ingredient, which is something that often happens in Indian families too," Piyusha said. After coming back, her boyfriend chopped strawberries and grapes into a fruit salad. What really stood out was a thoughtful gesture from her boyfriend's father. Knowing she might miss the taste of home, he prepared a dahi dish for her, and also got curry mix and naan just for her. The final spread was a feast: fish, meat, prawns, veggies, and of course, the Mandu Tteokguk. "It was so delicious, I ended up with a food coma," Piyusha joked. After the meal, the younger family members bowed to their elders as part of the Lunar New Year ritual. Piyusha joined in and was gifted a box of sweets, chocolates, and even an envelope of money, just like the rest of the family. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Piyusha Patil (@piyuchino) Although the video was first shared some months ago, it has continued to make the rounds online. Here's how Instagram users reacted in the comments section: A user commented, "So thoughtful that his dad got you curry and naan." Another wrote, "I love how the whole family shares the weight of cooking and stuff!" A third said, "The family is soooo sweet." "So happy for you," someone added.

Kannappa OTT release: When and where to watch Vishnu Manchu's epic Telugu film
After much anticipation and speculation, Kannappa , the mythological epic headlined by Telugu actor Vishnu Manchu, is all set to make its OTT debut. The film, which hit theatres on June 27, 2025, will reportedly begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video soon. The film is adhering to the 10-week theatrical window that Vishnu Manchu had firmly promised during the film's promotions. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, Kannappa is a passion project for Vishnu Manchu, who not only plays the titular role but also penned the screenplay. The film was produced under his home banner, with the backing and guidance of his father, veteran actor Mohan Babu, who also appears in a supporting role. Kannappa OTT release update by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, this game will keep you up all night. No Install. Play for free. Navy Quest Undo Vishnu Manchu's decision to delay the film's digital release beyond the industry norm of 30 days was a deliberate move to honour the theatrical experience. Now, as per OTT play report, the film will be released on Amazon Prime Video on September 5. Kannappa is expected to find a broader audience on OTT. However, we are still waiting for the official confirmation. The narrative of Kannappa follows the dramatic spiritual transformation of Thinnadu, a fierce and rebellious tribal hunter. Initially indifferent to religious beliefs, Thinnadu's life takes a profound turn as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and devotion, ultimately becoming a staunch follower of Lord Shiva. The film attempts to bring this mythological tale to life with grandeur, emotion, and visual spectacle. Kannappa features a star-studded ensemble, including Akshay Kumar portrays Lord Shiva, Prabhas takes on the role of Rudra, Mohanlal plays Kirata, and Kajal Aggarwal stars as Goddess Parvati. The cast also includes Preity Mukhundhan (Nemali), R. Sarathkumar (Nathanathudu), and Madhoo (Pannaga) in key roles. More about Kannappa The film's cinematography is helmed by Sheldon Chau, who captures the spiritual and mythological landscape with a visually immersive style. The elaborate sets, stylised action sequences, and divine depictions are tailored to show how the film is rooted in ancient Indian lore. Made on a massive budget of Rs 200 crore, Kannappa aimed for pan-Indian reach. Alongside the original Telugu version, the film was simultaneously released in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. However, despite the scale of production and the star power involved, the theatrical performance fell short of expectations. The film earned only Rs 32 crore at the box office in India. The film's runtime of 182 minutes makes it one of the more expansive mythological dramas released in recent times.
