Step inside Shinchan's real-life school in Japan that feels like 'breaking into the TV screen'. Watch
For every '90s kid who grew up watching Shinchan, the show's quirky humour and colourful school scenes remain etched in memory. Travel vlogger Nikhil Tripathi shared a nostalgic visual treat in his May 2 Instagram post, a tour of the real-life school in Japan inspired by the iconic setting of the beloved anime. From pastel-painted walls to familiar hallways and classrooms, the school looks like it's been lifted straight out of the animation.

In his post, Nikhil says, "I came to the real-life school of Shinchan." The video begins with a nostalgic moment: the same pink school bus that picks up Shinchan in the show arrives for the tour. Pointing to it, Nikhil shares, 'This is the school bus of Shinchan, the one he goes to school in!'
As he enters the school, a statue of Yoshinaga Sensei, Shinchan's teacher, greets him at the door. "It felt like I broke the TV screen and entered inside. It's exactly the same as we used to watch on TV," he says in awe. "Honestly, coming here felt like my childhood dream came true." Anime magic, mazes and chocobi
Inside Shinchan's classroom, Nikhil spots drawings of Shinchan and his friends on the walls. The school also features interactive zones, including a maze. "To reach another point, you actually have to find your way out," he explains. "There were so many fun activities for kids, I honestly wished I were five years old again."
After completing the maze challenge, Nikhil was rewarded with none other than Shinchan's favourite snack, ChocoBi. "Then I completed the task and got the reward, Shinchan's favourite ChocoBi," he smiles. Wrapping up the experience, he says, "It's a really fun anime-themed place, and the name of this place is Nijigen No Mori."

Asha Bhosle moves audience with a heartfelt performance at ‘Umrao Jaan' screening. Fans say ‘goosebumps all over'
Legendary singer Asha Bhosle, now 91, captivated hearts once again as she made a rare public appearance at the special screening of the restored version of the 1981 classic 'Umrao Jaan' in Mumbai. In a deeply emotional moment, Bhosle performed the film's hauntingly beautiful track 'Yeh Kya Jagah Hai Doston', while actress Rekha, who starred in the original film, stood by her side in a show of warmth and support. A video from the evening has since gone viral, showing Bhosle on stage with Rekha and Ali. Though she appeared to struggle momentarily while singing, Bhosle quickly recovered, continuing her rendition to thunderous applause. In a light-hearted moment, she joked, 'Mera gala dabba rahi hai,' referring to Rekha hugging her from behind — a moment that sparked shared laughter and cheers from the audience. Fans on social media expressed admiration for Bhosle's enduring grace and charm. One Instagram user commented, 'No words, she is brilliant. Goosebumps all over.' Umrao Jaan, set in 19th-century Lucknow, follows the journey of a young girl named Amiran, who is kidnapped and forced into a brothel, where she transforms into the famed courtesan and poet Umrao Jaan. Rekha's portrayal of the title character, supported by Farooque Shaikh, Raj Babbar, and Naseeruddin Shah, is widely considered one of her finest performances and won her the National Film Award for Best Actress. The film has been meticulously restored by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and the National Film Archive of India (NFAI) under the National Film Heritage Mission. The re-release aims to bring the timeless story, music, and performances to a new generation of cinema-goers. The event was organised ahead of the film's theatrical re-release on June 27, and was attended by a host of Bollywood celebrities, including Anil Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, and Khushi Kapoor. Director Muzaffar Ali, who helmed the original film, was also present to celebrate the restoration and re-release of what is widely regarded as one of Hindi cinema's most iconic period dramas. For many in the audience, however, the highlight of the evening was not just the film itself, but the touching reunion of two cinematic legends — Asha Bhosle and Rekha — whose bond and artistry continue to inspire generations.
