Viral: Chatur From 3 Idiots Delivers Foodie Speech For RCB, Courtesy: Swiggy
Ahead of the IPL match between the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and the Punjab Kings, Swiggy shared a special post for the former. It featured a foodie-themed speech narrated by none other than the actor Omi Vaidya. He is well-known for his portrayal of the character Chatur in the film 3 Idiots, and his character gives a hilarious speech in one famous scene. Capitalising on this aspect, Swiggy got him to read out a few words in a similar style. What's more, the words are actually those once spoken by Virat Kohli, the former captain of the RCB.

The speech shows Chatur listing various types of delicious treats he will enjoy after RCB wins the match. The idea seems to be that this is how the team would also celebrate their victory. The speech is in Hindi. It roughly translates to, "Respected Chairperson/President and Audience, I will eat dal makhani. I will eat paneer khurchan. I will eat garlic naan. And after that, I will eat gulab jamun with ice cream. Then, I will eat cassata ice cream from the street. And at night, as I watch TV, I will have a packet of fun flips [a type of packaged snack]. Thank you." Fans might remember that Virat Kohli once named these dishes when talking about cheat meals. Posts about the same had gone viral on social media. Check out one of them here.

India can shine in Test series England if they believe, says AB de Villiers
India's young guns have the talent to achieve something special in the upcoming England Test series, provided they back themselves, said AB de Villiers here on Saturday, adding that it's time for the new generation to step up. With the 25-year-old Shubman Gill at the helm, India will start a new cycle of the World Test Championship with a five-Test tour of England next month without their seasoned campaigners in Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who both announced their retirement recently. India will also miss the services of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin who retired during last year's tour of Australia, and senior pacer Mohammed Shami, who was not selected for this tour owing to his lack of fitness for the conventional format. "Yes, it's time for the younger guys to step up... Shubman Gill taking on the responsibility," de Villiers told the media on the sidelines of a NGO Project Mumbai event here. "There's lots of talent in India and largely credit to the IPL for that, (it is) really giving great exposure to some of the youngsters at a very early age." "We saw Vaibhav Suryavanshi this year (and) many other youngsters, they come in their first year and they look very mature and ready to play cricket and it's a great platform for Indian cricket," he said. The former South African skipper said the tour of England will be a tough test for the young Indian side, but keeping the belief could help them pull off a favourable result. "They've got to take some responsibility on in England, it'll be a tough test, but they have all the talent in the world and if they believe, maybe they can achieve something special." De Villiers, who shares a special bond with his former Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammate Kohli, said he will be missed in Test cricket. "He followed his gut feel. I think he has done a lot for cricket around the world over the years. Luckily, we'll still see him on the cricket field. He will be missed in Test matches, there is no doubt about it, but he leaves (behind) a great legacy with the red ball, de Villiers said. Talking about the Indian Premier League, de Villiers still backed Punjab Kings, who suffered an eight-wicket thrashing at the hands of RCB in Qualifier 1, to reach the final. PBKS will take on Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad on Sunday for Qualifier 2. I said quite a while ago, about a month ago, that Gujarat (Titans) and RCB will be in the final. It looks like the odds are against my call but it is still cricket, you never know, it is a knockout match," he said. "It takes one or two great performances to turn the pressure onto your opposition. It's still going to be Punjab but I've got a little bit of doubt on my mind after watching last night's game, said de Villiers, pointing out at the contest between MI and Gujarat Titans in which the five-times champion emerged winner in the high-scoring Eliminator.

Sooraj Pancholi Says Bollywood Unity Is Dead: 'Everyone's A Coward Now'
Last Updated: Sooraj Pancholi says Bollywood's unity is fading, calls today's actors 'cowards' and praises Tiger Shroff for showing rare support during Kesari Veer. Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi is done sugarcoating the state of the Hindi film industry. In a candid conversation with Siddharth Kannan, the Kesari Veer star spoke openly about what he sees as the slow erosion of solidarity among today's generation of actors. His reflections come from a place of both experience and disappointment, shaped by a decade-long battle in the public eye and a recent return to cinema with his first lead role since being acquitted in the Jiah Khan case. Speaking on the camaraderie he once admired among his father's generation, Sooraj shared a recent experience involving Tiger Shroff that offered a rare glimpse of old-school support. 'I just called Tiger and invited him to the premiere of Kesari Veer. He didn't ask any questions, didn't hesitate—he just showed up. That meant a lot," he recalled. 'It reminded me of how our fathers used to be with each other. My father, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Dharam sir—those guys had each other's backs. That kind of bond is rare now." According to Sooraj, the industry today is deeply fractured. 'People don't want to get involved in anyone else's issues. Back then, if someone got into trouble, everyone would show up—whether it was a fight, an accident, or a controversy. There was a sense of unity. You don't see that anymore," he said. 'Now, everyone's too scared. No one wants to take pangaas. Everyone's playing it safe. Everyone's being a coward. That's what it is." He went on to explain that the fear isn't just about getting involved—it's about image management and the ever-present threat of backlash. 'Everyone's brand-conscious now. Showing up for someone might 'affect your image,' so people just don't bother. They'll come to your event if there are cameras there, if it makes them look good. But when you're down, or struggling quietly, very few people will check in. That's the truth." Sooraj pointed to iconic names from Bollywood's past who embodied a very different spirit. 'Jackie Shroff, my father Aditya Pancholi, Dutt sir, Suniel Shetty—these were people who didn't care about PR optics. They were raw, real, and they looked out for their people. I've heard stories about Dharam ji literally getting into fights to protect his friends. That kind of fearlessness is missing today. Actors now are careful to the point of being absent." He also called out the performative nature of today's support systems, saying that empathy often comes with conditions. 'If someone big in the industry falls ill or has a family emergency, suddenly you see everyone there—but mostly because they know the media will be too. Otherwise? Silence. The reality is, people move on quickly. Support has become selective, strategic." For Pancholi, this topic hits close to home. In 2013, his relationship with actor Jiah Khan became the center of a storm after her death by suicide led to allegations against him. The case dragged on for nearly ten years, with constant media trials and emotional strain. He was finally acquitted in 2023 due to lack of evidence. The time in between left deep scars—and a clear view of who stood by him and who didn't. 'It's in your worst moments that you find out who your real people are," he said, without naming names. 'When you're not on magazine covers or trending on Instagram, you become invisible to most. That's the saddest part about this industry." Now that he's back in the spotlight with Kesari Veer, a period action film that marks his attempt at career redemption, Sooraj remains hopeful—but grounded. 'I'm not bitter," he said. 'I just wish we could go back to that old-school loyalty. That sense of unity. That's what made this industry more than just a business. It made it a family." First Published: May 31, 2025, 18:02 IST

Why poorly translated regional ads are costing brands their audience
In India's hyper-diverse linguistic landscape, brands are scrambling to connect with regional audiences. The logic sounds simple-speak their language, win their hearts. But here's the kick speaking the language poorly can do way more harm than good. And surprisingly, many big q-commerce players keep tripping over this basic step. Lost in translation Imagine seeing an ad written in Bangla for a quick service delivery app that's so bizzare you can't even tell what it means. That's exactly what happens when brands rely solely on Google Translation. Ads littered with awkward phrasing and outright grammatical errors that no native speaker would write. As a result, instead of feeling welcomed or engaged, the audience feels irritated. It's the marketing equivalent of someone butchering your mother tongue in front of you just annoying. Why does this keep happening? Big brands can afford eye-catching billboards, prime TV spots, and expensive digital campaigns. But somehow, they skimp on the one thing that matters most for regional campaigns: hiring writers who actually speak and understand the fundamental. Otherwise, the campaign looks lazy and disconnected. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Zumbido e perda de audição?

Platforms light up with screenshots and memes mocking the awkward translations. Comments range from mild amusement to outright frustration, with many calling out brands for disrespecting their language and culture. A Bengali content creator recently called out a quick service ad on social media, which was flooded with trolls and critical comments directed at the brand.
