It was also his debut at the Met Gala.

A cinematic hero, his blockbuster performances and leading-man charisma have created a legendary international fan following. My interpretation of the Black Dandy is demonstrating his super stardom on a global stage. Dressed in classic menswear with the maximalist flourish of Sabyasachi, Shah Rukh Khan is a magician, superstar, and icon. Period."

Russian girl singing Kannada poem with friend in Bengaluru wins internet's heart
A Russian girl and her Indian friend have gone viral on social media for singing a Kannada poem while cycling through a Bengaluru neighbourhood. Dressed in colourful traditional Indian outfits, the young girls' performance has struck a chord online — not only for their friendship, but also for their love of the Kannada language. The video, originally shared on Instagram, opens with a touching montage of photographs showing the duo over the past three years. The latest footage, from 2025, shows the girls riding their bicycles and singing 'Bannada Hakki' (Colourful Bird), a popular Kannada poem for children. A note on the clip reads: '3 years in India. Girlfriends – classmates. 3 years of friendship." The clip was later reposted on Reddit, where a user captioned it: 'Even foreigners learnt Kannada, what's your excuse in spreading more love and compassion towards our language?" The video sparked a wider conversation about language learning, with several users weighing in on how environment and schooling influence how children pick up local languages. 'It's easier for kids to learn a language to speak as they are not worried about the correct way to pronounce a particular word/sentence,' one user wrote. Another pointed out, 'Real problem is our schools. The government should make local language mandatory in schools so that 2nd generation immigrants will learn the language at least." A Redditor remarked, 'It's simple. Indians just don't respect their own language. They will learn French, Spanish etc., while sitting in India, but will proudly say they don't know the local language.' However, not everyone saw the issue in the same light. One user noted, 'It's fun and positive when she did it by herself. Not so fun when goons are shouting at you or threatening you with weapon. Understand the difference." Another comment read, 'I feel it's easy to learn during schooling, she might be having Kannada as a subject. I tried learning 40-50 words so far, but I don't have anyone to talk to. So I easily forget." A more critical response stated: 'Entitlement, arrogance, and a condescending attitude toward the language, culture, and people of the land they've settled in, despite benefiting from the leniency shown by Bengalureans, in whose city they are earning their bread and butter – This is their hidden excuse.' The viral moment has opened up a meaningful dialogue about language, belonging, and respect for regional cultures in India.

Toronto International Film Festival 2025: Hansal Mehta's Gandhi, Featuring Pratik Gandhi In The Lead, To Be Premiered
Mumbai: Hansal Mehta's forthcoming historical drama Gandhi will get its world premiere at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival 2025. Sharing the exciting update with the netizens, Mehta penned on his X timeline, "An audacious dream, born of belief and perseverance, now steps onto the world stage. Gandhi will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 2025 as part of its carefully curated PrimeTime slate." In a moment of pride, "Gandhi" is the first Indian series to be selected for the prestigious film festival. "The first Indian series ever to be featured at TIFF. In its 50th year, this festival becomes the home for a story that is at once deeply personal and profoundly universal. A moment of pride. A moment of memory. A quiet revolution begins," Mehta added. Backed by the Applause Entertainment banner, Gandhi is a cinematic adaptation of the books 'Gandhi Before India' and 'Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World' by Ramachandra Guha. It is believed that the highly-anticipated series will cover significant aspects of Mahatma Gandhi's life - spanning from his early work in South Africa, to his role as the Father of the Nation in India's independence movement. "Gandhi" is planned to spread across three seasons. While the shooting for the first season of the drama was concluded in August 2024, the drama is likely to reach the audience in 2025. While Pratik Gandhi plays the titular role as Mahatma Gandhi, the project will also see Bhamini Oza as Kasturba Gandhi, Tom Felton as Josiah Oldfield, and Jaival Pathak as young Harilal Gandhi, along with Amar, Upadhyay, Libby Mai, Harry Mckeown, R Badree, Molly Wright, Ralph Adeniyi, James Murray, Lindon Alexander, Ramdas (Priyansh Bajaj), Jonno Davies, and Simon Lennon in key roles. The series will feature scores by music maestro A. R. Rahman.
