(Also read: Taapsee Pannu on people not knowing her husband Mathias Boe: 'Just because he isn't a cricketer or big businessman...') Taapsee Pannu and Mathias Boe were greeted by the women of the Nanhi Kali initiative. Taapsee's latest post In the video, Taapsee and Mathias sit beside each other as the other girls and women from the Nahi Kali project surround her and perform a tradition with her. The two of them are garlanded with marigold flowers, while several women arrive with fruits, sweets, and other gifts to pour into Taapsee's lap. In a voiceover, Taapsee said, 'Waise toh main aur Mathias in ladkiyon se aur inke parivaroon se kaafi saalon se judein hue hain… but this visit was special. Actually me and Mathias did not realize that this was the first time that we visited our Nanhi Kali girls after getting married. Par in auroton ne humein yaad dilaya aur humare saath ek bohot pyaari rasam kari jo ek ladki ke saath hoti hain jab wo wapas apne ghar aati hain shaadi ke baad pehli baar. Kuch achha karna chaho toh jaane anjaane mein apke saath bohot kuch accha ho jata hain. Bohot saari duain ghar leke jaa rahi hoon (Even though Mathias and me have been associated with these girls and their families for a long time but this was the first time we were meeting them after marriage. They did this beautiful tradition with us that takes place when a woman returns home after marriage. I am taking a lot of wishes back with me).' Taapsee has been a vocal supporter of the Nanhi Kali project, an initiative focused on the education of underprivileged girls. She has been associated with Nanhi Kali for several years and actively supports 100 girls through the program. About their marriage In March, Taapsee married longtime boyfriend and badminton player Mathias. The wedding was an extremely intimate affair in Udaipur, and not many Bollywood celebrities attended. On the work front, Taapsee was last seen in Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, which also starred Sunny Kaushal and Vikrant Massey.

OAFF And Savera Drop Feel-Good Monsoon Track ‘Matcha', Inspired By A Rainy Day Jam Session
Last Updated: Composer-producer duo OAFF & Savera return with 'Matcha', a breezy pop single born from a rainy day jam session in Goa. Fresh off the success of their previous hits, dynamic musical duo OAFF and Savera are back with a lighthearted new pop single titled 'Matcha'. Released on August 7, 2025, the track is a breezy, romantic ode to spontaneous creativity, brewed—quite literally—during a rainy day in Goa. Known for their genre-defying sound and intuitive collaborations, OAFF and Savera composed, produced, and penned 'Matcha' together. The track blends chill electronic pop with a summery vibe, evoking the fluttery thrill of early love—the kind that makes you want to linger just a little longer. With its mellow groove and infectious charm, 'Matcha' is the perfect soundtrack for monsoon days and lazy afternoons. Born From Craving, Crafted With Joy In a candid revelation, OAFF recalled the track's unusual origin: 'About 2 years ago, Savera and I were in a secluded spot in Goa for a songwriting camp. I was really craving a cup of matcha, but it was raining so we couldn't step out or order in. Out of that moment of frustration, we ended up creating this track just as a playful distraction—it wasn't meant to be released. But over time, it stuck with us, and our friends loved it too." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kabeer Kathpalia (@oaffmusic) Savera echoed the sentiment, highlighting the track's effortless charm: 'There was no overthinking in writing Matcha. And that's what the song represents. It's a feel-good, easy-going song—lighthearted, groovy, and perfect for days when you just want to slow down." A Fan-Fueled Celebration To mark the release of 'Matcha', the duo hosted an intimate teaser launch party in Mumbai. More than 50 lucky fans got a first listen to the track, participated in a matcha-blending workshop, and took home custom matcha kits. The evening also featured an impromptu live performance by OAFF and Savera—an experience that perfectly mirrored the casual joy that birthed the song. The official music video, composed of moments from this launch event, is now live on their YouTube channel, further strengthening the artists' connection with their growing community of listeners. A Track Record of Innovation 'Matcha' follows a string of acclaimed releases by the duo, including 'Ittefaq' with Siddhant Chaturvedi, and 'Jaadu' from Netflix's Jewel Thief. Their joint discography is as emotionally resonant as it is sonically diverse, from 'Gehraiyaan' and 'Doobey' to 'Udja' from Coke Studio Bharat. With credits across web series, films, and non-film projects, OAFF & Savera continue to blur boundaries between mainstream and independent music. They have also earned critical acclaim with multiple award nominations, including IIFA, Filmfare, and Mirchi Music Awards, solidifying their status as two of India's most forward-thinking music creators. Whether you're a fan of the drink or just in need of a feel-good tune for a grey-skied day, 'Matcha' is now streaming on all major platforms.

Monali Thakur Makes Comeback With 'Ek Baar Phir', Reflects On Coping With 'Trauma'
Ek Baar Phir explores themes of betrayal, heartbreak, and abuse, drawing inspiration from Monali's personal journey, allowing her to express emotions linked to her past. The song is melodious, and emotionally rich, and delves into themes of love, resilience, trauma, and the unbreakable bond of family. Take a look at the same here: Ahead of Ek Baar Phir release, Monali took to Instagram to share a deeply personal photograph and a moving note that reveals the inspiration behind the track — her mother. In a heartfelt post, Monali shared a throwback picture from her childhood, nestled in her mother's arms. The caption read: 'For the one who has been my safe space. My strength. There's a story behind it all, one that I'm finally ready to share. #EkBaarPhir on 06.08.2025. The wait is finally over." Discussing her connection with the song, Monali Thakur said, 'This song is deeply personal to me, it draws from the journey I've been on over the past few years. What many don't know is how challenging those years truly were. I had lost myself trying to cope with loss and trauma, and was struggling to find hope. It's the song of my journey in finding that hope and love again and finding the strength to survive all the challenges of life and not giving up. That hope and love became my anchor, my strength, and ultimately, the heart of this song." Known for her soul-stirring hits like Moh Moh Ke Dhaage and Sawaar Loon, Monali continues to be a powerful voice in Indian music. While she has received several accolades for her exceptional singing, the most prestigious honour came in the form of the National Award for Best Female Playback Singer for Moh Moh Ke Dhaage from the film Dum Laga Ke Haisha. She has also lent her voice to songs such as Sawaar Loon, Cham Cham, Badri Ki Dulhania, and many more. Monali Thakur has sung numerous tracks in multiple languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, and Kannada.
