Triptii Dimri wants to play Meena Kumari or Madhubala Meanwhile, Triptii Dimri, who will soon be seen in Dhadak 2, revealed her aspirations of portraying legendary stars on screen. At a recent press event, she said, 'I would love to do a biopic. I'm a huge fan of Meena Kumari ji and Madhubala ji. If someone makes a biopic on either of them, I would love to be a part of it. They were legends, icons – and portraying them would be an honour.' 03:14 Triptii Dimri reveals her parents were 'rattled' after watching the intimate scene with Ranbir Kapoor in 'Animal' 'There's so much pressure in acting' Triptii also opened up about the challenges that come with the craft.

Shillong Chamber Choir releases a new track as a tribute to founder Neil Nongkynrih
The internationally acclaimed Shillong Chamber Choir (SCC) has released a new track, 'You came into our lives', a heartfelt reflection on love, friendship and the transformative power of music. Written by the choir's founder and mentor, Neil Nongkynrih, along with his friend, Deelip Kumar Sahu, the song is a moving tribute to Uncle Neil's friends and family. Released on the occasion of his 55th birth anniversary (July 9), the song reflects the profound impact that he had on the lives of the choir members. 'I had almost forgotten this song until one day, a choir member reminded us. Listening to it again, we felt it was meant to be shared with all our listeners. It's a thank you, a celebration of love, gratitude and the steadfast bonds that hold us together,' said Banlam Lyndem, Bass of the choir. The accompanying video, is a beautiful visualisation of Uncle Neil's enduring presence — offering glimpses of cherished moments. Founded in 2001 by composer, conductor and pianist Neil Nongkynrih, the SCC began as a small group of dedicated singers and dreamers under his mentorship. Over the past two decades, the ensemble has evolved into one of India's celebrated musical groups, blending rich harmonies, emotional depth and technical brilliance. Winners of India's Got Talent, 2010, the choir's journey since then has been marked by a string of national and international accolades. Renowned for their unique blend, their repertoire includes songs in 40 different languages ranging from Opera to Rock, Folk to Jazz, Hindustani classical to current chart toppers as well as major collaborations with Alan Walker, Boney M, Amitabh Bachchan and Ustad Zakir Hussain. Neil Nongkynrih passed away in 2022, but his vision and artistry remain at the heart of the choir's music. 'More than just focusing on the voice, he worked on the individual. That's perhaps why, nearly two decades later, we're still here — singing together,' shared tenor William Basaiawmoit. With the mentor's passing, the choir continues to work on various projects — from their usual medleys to originals, albums in Khasi (native language of Meghalaya) to the opera, 'Sohlyngngem', composed by Neil. 'We also have many unreleased songs on the shelf. Three of our music videos of Bollywood medleys in different styles of arrangements are being released by Saregama in August, September and October on various social media platforms,' said Kynsaibor Lyngdoh, manager of the choir.

Kailash Kher wants Indian music to be taught in schools, beyond just Sa Re Ga Ma
For Kailash Kher, music is one of the purest art forms — not just a means of entertainment, but a powerful tool to educate people about their roots. The 52-year-old singer believes that music can serve as a bridge to understanding culture and history, which is why he is in talks with governments to integrate it into school curriculums in a more meaningful way. Kailash Kher wants music studies to become an essential part of the curriculum 'What is happening is that people are forgetting how important music can be in helping one understand their culture and history. These days, music is only being used for entertainment, and I want to change that,' says the Teri Deewani hitmaker. Through his KKALA (Kailash Kher Academy for Learning Arts) the singer is already in touch with over '500 schools' in Maharashtra alone, with plans to expand the initiative across the country. 'Children today are getting alienated, they don't understand what Indian music really is. Everyone thinks music is 100 years old, but that's not true. In India, music has been there for thousands of years, but no one knows that,' he points out. The 52-year-old emphasises that his aim is not just to teach children how to sing, but to make them aware of the history and cultural context of Indian music. 'When I say teach music, I don't mean just how to sing Sa Re Ga Ma... I want them to learn how ragas came into existence, what their purpose is, and the stories behind them. Only when they understand that will they truly learn about music — and that is what we want to do,' he explains. For him, this understanding is vital to shaping young minds. 'Learning about Indian music will make children more rooted in their identity and proud of their heritage. If they know where it comes from and why it matters, they won't just be singing a tune — they'll be carrying forward a legacy,' he says.
