Kevin Hart announces India tour
On Thursday, District by Zomato announced that Kevin Hart will be bringing his highly acclaimed Acting My Age to Mumbai. The Emmy and Grammy-nominated comedian will be performing live for the first time in India at the NSCI Dome SVP Stadium, Mumbai on September 21.
In the set, he will be delving into personal experiences, societal norms, and the challenges of ageing with his unique comedic flair.
And he is excited to get to India. 'India, we are destined to meet this year and I cannot wait to witness your incredible energy live in Mumbai. We're going to have an epic night filled with love and laughter," said Kevin in a statement.
Talking about getting the comedian to India, Rahul Ganjoo, CEO, District by Zomato, said, 'The Indian comedy scene is at its peak right now, audiences are sharper, hungrier and more global in their tastes than ever before. Bringing Kevin Hart to India is a monumental moment for not only us but for every comedy lover in India eager to experience global brilliance firsthand. We're thrilled to make this a reality and we look forward to celebrating comedy on what promises to be a super fun night.'
The pre-sale tickets will go live on July 29. Following this, general tickets will become available for purchase starting from July 31.
Why was Kevin's previous visit cancelled
Kevin was set to come to India as part of his World Tour in April. The actor and comedian was scheduled to perform in Delhi on April 30. However, it was called off following the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists.
The update was shared by District by Zomato, with the organisers mentioning that they were in talks with Kevin to reschedule and find a new date for the event.
Kevin Hart is known for his observational and self-deprecating humour. He has performed several comedy specials, including his successful show, Laugh At My Pain. Kevin was last seen as part of the Apple TV docuseries Number One on the Call Sheet.

‘India is very beautiful': Nasa astronaut recalls stunning nighttime view of Delhi, Mumbai from space
Ranveer Allahbadia recently sat down with former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino, who shared a unique perspective on India, discussing how Delhi and Mumbai are viewed from space at night. During the podcast, Massimino spoke about how breathtaking India appears when viewed from space. Allahbadia later shared a snippet of the interview on Instagram, capturing a moment where he asked the astronaut, 'Do some parts of the Earth look more beautiful, or is it all just gorgeous to look at as one piece?' Massimino replied, 'India's very beautiful. It's all interesting.' He went on to describe how stunning Earth looks at night when seen from orbit. 'Nighttime, it gets really cool and magical. You can see the stars very clearly. But looking down on the Earth, you see city lights. So you see some of the big cities like Mumbai or New Delhi or New York City…' he said. In the shared clip, Massimino also reflected on his connection with India. He revealed that seeing the country from space made him want to visit it someday. 'NASA astronaut Mike Massimino shares how stunning India looks from space. He says he always wanted to visit after seeing it from above, and finally made that dream come true. The beauty he saw from space matched what he experienced on the ground,' Allahabadia captioned the video. Watch here: A post shared by Ranveer Allahbadia (@ranveerallahbadia) The video quickly gained traction, with several social media users appreciating Massimino's love of India. This year, Shubhanshu Shukla spent 18 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in June, becoming the first Indian to live and work in the ISS, and only the second Indian in space after Rakesh Sharma. Fondly known as Shux, Shukla was a part of Axiom Mission 4, a joint human spaceflight by ISRO, NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX.

Mr. Angry Mohammed Siraj a bit like Shane Warne: Nasser Hussain on India's Oval hero
Nasser Hussain claimed that India's Oval hero Mohammed Siraj is more than the nickname the England team has given him and compared the pacer to the legendary Shane Warne in terms of being a competitor. Siraj was the star of the show for India in the final match of the series as he picked three out of the final four wickets to help India seal a dramatic six-run win on Monday, August 4. advertisementThe Indian pacer picked up 23 wickets across the course of the series and bowled more than 185 overs in the five matches he played. The 31-year-old stepped up for India as Jasprit Bumrah played just three matches in the series. During the matches that India won, where Bumrah was absent, it was Siraj who led the way. Hussain, in his column for the Daily Mail, said that the pacer was the reason why India won both games. "Of course, they ended up winning the two games that Bumrah didn't play, and the reason for that was because of one man, really - Mohammed Siraj," said Hussain. Siraj did have a couple of rough moments, especially being the last man to get out in the Lord's Test loss and when he misjudged a catch when Harry Brook was batting on 19. Hussain compared it to Warne's moment in the 2005 Ashes when he dropped the catch of Kevin Pietersen. However, the former England skipper said that Siraj has the fitness and a strong will to succeed. Hussain said that Siraj can play the pantomime villain, like Warne, at times but said he is a born entertainer with all the attributes to succeed at the highest level. "Siraj is a cricketer that always gives it everything. Yes, he plays the pantomime villain at times, a bit like Warney did, and so people love to hate him, but he regularly has that massive smile on his face too.""He's fiery, the England boys call him Mr. Angry, and he has the longest follow through in the history of the game, but he demands your attention. You could do a montage of the histrionics - down on his knees in despair at Lord's, the celebrations and dejection when DRS decisions go one way or another.""He's a born entertainer, but crucially he's got all the other attributes you need at the highest level: heart, passion, and ultimately skill," said Hussain. 'Perfect execution from champion Siraj'Hussain said that had Siraj had a rough outing in England, then India would have lost the series, and it was perfect execution from him in the series. "If Siraj gets it wrong, India lose the series, so it was perfect execution from a champion cricketer that has unfairly courted controversy over the past month," said Hussain. Siraj picked up a total of nine wickets across both innings in the Oval Test. - Ends

This AI Video Turns Indian Street Food Into Transformers, And It Is Deliciously Entertaining
Last Updated: A digital creator used artificial intelligence to turn Indian's favourite street food into some of the mighty transformers. When the whole world is busy debating the serious impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on jobs, privacy, security and our overall lives, Indians are taking a much more light-hearted approach. They are busy using such advanced technology for fun. Yes, that's right! From reimagining iconic characters like Harry Potter as Indians to now turning the spotlight on the Transformers, AI-generated content is becoming a playful creative trend. In a now-viral Instagram video, a digital creator has used AI to blend two beloved elements: Indian street food and Transformers. The creator transformed popular Indian street food into heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons from the world of Transformers. The video begins with a plate of dahi bhalla suddenly turning into a transformer called 'Bhallavolt". Next up, Indian's all-time favourite street food, chole bhature, powers up and turns into the mighty Choletron. The text overlaying the video reads, 'Choltron has risen." Meanwhile, the text atop the clip says: 'AI will take over the world! Meanwhile, Indians using AI," followed by a crying face emoji. And no such street food content is ever complete without the mention of momo, which has become a delicacy from North to South and East to West in India. As the clip progresses, a plate of momo turns into the fearsome 'Momonator." And last but not least, the undisputed king of Indian snacks made an entry. The video introduced Samosa as 'Samosa Prime," a playful nod to the transformer Optimus Prime. The Autobot introduced itself as the 'Guardian of the kitchen". The creator shared the video with the caption: 'Choose your favourite transformer," followed by a laughing face emoji. Internet Hilariously Reacts To The Street Food-Based Transformers The video immediately struck a chord with the internet, with many finding it hilarious and others loving the creative idea behind such a transformation. One user said, 'SOOOO COOL. " Another added, 'Chholetron definitely sounds like a villain." Someone else wrote, 'Best use of AI." A different user joked, 'Looks like Momonator had some serious food poisoning" Someone else mentioned, 'Tie between Momonator and Bhallavolt." Meanwhile, another section of online users kept asking where other popular street foods like golgappa, pav bhaji, and bhel puri are. Since the clip was posted, it has garnered over 1.7 million views. FYI, Transformers is a series of sci-fi films based on the company Hasbro's toy line. It featured giant robots that can change their shapes, often turning into cars or other machines.
