Watch: Japanese Influencer Shows How Their Liking For Vada Pav Changed In Just One Year
In a video making the rounds on the internet, Koki was seen showcasing his genuine reaction upon relishing vada pav over the course of one year. The clip kicks off with him, dressed in his casuals, entering the frame as a Japanese tourist in India, approaching a vada pav seller. He asks a vada pav vendor, 'Hello brother, what is this?' Soon, the vendor replies, " Yeh vada pav hai (This is vada pav).' He quickly quips, 'Vada pav...? Let me try one. Thank you.' But as he tasted the vada pav, the bread and green chilli's crispy, sweet and tangy flavours weren't much liked by him. His initial reaction was 'I don't like it.'
Contrary to this, after a year, a change in his liking towards the street food can be noticed. In the following scene, the influencer can be seen dressed in an Indian ethnic ensemble and interacting with the vada pav in Marathi. He says, ' Namaste, dada. Kasa kai (How are you)?' The vendor replies, ' Mai achcha hai (I'm good).' Koki adds, ' Achcha hai? Ek vada pav diya (You are good? Please give a vada pav),' adding, ' Meetha khatta chutney dedo nah (Please also give sweet and tangy condiment with it). Thank you.' As he relishes the plate, he can be heard mentioning, ' Itadakimasu, mirchi. Vada pav meri jaan. Mumbai ki shaan,' and also asks the viewers to share this reel with their Mumbaikar friends.
'1 Day (Vs sticker) 1 Year in India | Vada Pav,' read his caption, revealing his change of taste about vada pav.

From BLACKPINK's Lisa to aespa's Winter and even BTS' V and Jimin - 'Golden' boy Jungkook seems to be dating them all
It seems like there is no rest for the Golden boy of BTS, Jeon Jungkook! Every time a new dating rumour arises, the person involved has already been linked to Jungkook - and this time, what's making the rounds is his alleged romance with BLACKPINK's Lisa. Yup, you heard it right: the two maknaes of their respective groups are once again the subject of dating rumours that are spreading like wildfire. Lisa is gearing up to drop the music video for her track Dream, starring Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kentaro. The teaser has already stirred buzz, with fans speculating about her past relationships and the possible inspiration behind the song - and, somehow, Jungkook's name has found its way into the mix. Why is BTS' Jungkook being linked to BLACKPINK's Lisa? The Dream poster quickly caught attention for one detail in particular - the couple rings. Soon after, netizens began resurfacing 2019 photos they claimed showed Jungkook and Lisa wearing matching ones. Some even noted visual similarities between Jungkook and Sakaguchi Kentaro, Lisa's co-star in the video. All good things must come to an end. DREAM // premiering 2025.08.13 11pm ET Once a massively popular ship,"Liskook" is now making an unexpected comeback in 2025. Fans will find out more when the full Dream music video drops on August 13 (EST). Liskook's wearing couple rings on 2019 All the dating rumours linked to BTS' Jungkook Not just Lisa, over the years, Jungkook has found himself at the heart of countless dating rumours - most sparked by fan speculation, social media buzz, and so-called "evidence" that often boils down to coincidences, blurry snapshots, or misread interactions. On occasion, he's tackled these rumours head-on, usually with a playful or humorous response, reiterating that he's not dating anyone and remains focused on his career. Here's a breakdown of some of the biggest dating rumours: Kim Taehyung (V) One of the most talked-about ships in the K-pop world, "Taekook" - also known as "Vkook" - has been at the centre of fan speculation for years. Whispers of a romance between Jungkook and V have only grown louder with every lingering glance, playful tease, and moment of unspoken connection caught on camera. Their chemistry is so undeniable that it has fuelled countless theories, edits, and fanfictions, with some insisting there's more to their bond than meets the eye. In a twist that only deepened the intrigue, the ship name itself was coined by the two youngest members of BTS. Yet, despite the frenzy, neither Jungkook, V, nor their agency, Big Hit Music, has ever confirmed anything - leaving the "Taekook" mystery burning brighter than ever. aespa's Winter Rumours tying Jungkook to aespa's Winter sparked from claims of shared items, overlapping hangout spots, and appearances at the same events. However, fans were quick to poke holes in the narrative, noting that most of the so-called "evidence" was purely circumstantial. *Jungkook goes to the aespa concert* 'he's dating winter'; *Jk wears a Ralph Lauren's cap* "he's dating winter';*Jk has nail polish* 'he's dating winter'; *Jungkook creates an ig acc* 'he's dating winter'…ATP I have to take a doberman so I can dating jungkook too Adding to the buzz, some online sources alleged that Jungkook attended an aespa concert and was seen in a VIP section - though this has never been officially confirmed. Park Jimin Speculation surrounding Jungkook and fellow BTS member Jimin - better known to fans as "Jikook" - has been a constant in the fandom for years. With no official confirmation or credible evidence, most believe the rumours stem from their deep friendship, forged through years of living and working side by side. Their bond only strengthened during their military service, where they enlisted under the buddy system, and after their discharge, they reunited on screen to film Are You Sure?! season 2 together. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.

Amaal Mallik was 15 when his ‘defeated' father told him to start earning for family: ‘Iske aage gaadi nahi chalegi meri'
Music composer Amaal Mallik is known for his unfiltered opinions on the way the music industry works today. He's had beef with the likes of T-Series top honcho Bhushan Kumar. But his father, Daboo Malik, also a composer, feels Amaal's forthright streak stems from the fact that he's a self-made man who has also been the family's sole breadwinner for the longest time. 'He's the first elder son to whom the father comes and says, 'Beta, main haar gaya (Son, I've lost)'. Which father does that to his 15-year-old innocent child? Daboo Malik comes home, hugs Amaal, and says, 'Iske aage gaadi chalegi nahi meri. Tu kuchh karega kya? (I can't work beyond this. Will you do something)?' revealed Daboo. In the interview with Vickey Lalwani, he continued, 'He's seen his father fall and lose from when he was 10 to 15 years old. There was a strong emotional upheaval. But nobody sees that. Everybody sees his outburst and critical ways, but that's his character now. He's taken that decision.' Amaal started working at the age of 16, immediately after completing his class 10. 'It's miraculous how Amaal did 2,000 to 3,000 jingles, worked with such big people as a programmer and arranger, he saw exponential technical growth. Armaan (Malik, singer and Amaal's younger brother) was just 10 then,' said Daboo, adding that Amaal helped drastically improve the deteriorating financial situation at home. 'A son like that, who feels he's earned everything with his blood and sweat, suddenly realizes he's getting sidelined and isn't the hero of this household anymore. That his younger brother was becoming the hero instead would have a mental impact on Amaal every day. I think that's a small mistake on part of the parents. But no one was doing it intentionally. We've to be very careful parents,' added Daboo. Amaal started learning music at the age of eight. He learnt piano at the Trinity College of Music, London, specializing in Western Classical, Jazz & Rock. He also learnt Indian classical music informally from his grandfather Sardar Malik. He began working as an assistant composer and background scorer in the Hindi film industry and the advertisement industry. He made his debut as the lead composer in Sohail Khan's 2014 action film Jai Ho. Also Read — Sexual assault allegations against Anu Malik 'shattered our family', says brother Daboo: 'We saw to it that he got back to work' Amaal's younger brother Armaan Malik started singing at the age of four. He started singing in films in 2006 with songs like Bum Bum Bhole from Aamir Khan's 2007 directorial debut Taare Zameen Par. He broke through in 2014, the same year as his brother did, with the song Naina in Shashanka Ghosh's 2014 romantic comedy Khoobsurat, which was composed by Amaal. Meanwhile, their father Daboo Malik, the younger brother of composer Anu Malik, started as an actor in 1988. He switched to composing music in 2000s, but hung up his boots by 2014, when his sons gained recognition for their work. The Malik family has been in the news lately for differences with each other. Armaan distanced himself from his family, while Amaal lent him support.
