Watch: Delhi Street Vendor Makes Bizarre 'Litchi Gravy Momos', Internet In Disbelief
If there's one thing we never get tired of, it's desi street food. From spicy golgappas and tangy chaat to buttery pav bhaji, our love for local flavours knows no bounds. We've also grown quite accustomed to seeing some out-of-the-box food experiments. Chocolate samosas? Sure. Fanta Maggi? Unfortunately, yes. But just when we thought the internet had peaked with food fusions, a new viral video has arrived, and it might just be the king of all food experiments. Brace yourself: litchi gravy momos. Yes, you read that right. In a now-viral video, a street food vendor in Delhi is seen making a plate of fried momos that look golden, crisp, and, quite honestly, delicious. So far, so good. Then comes the twist.
The vendor pulls out a hot pan and begins preparing a rich, creamy gravy. You expect something spicy, maybe with onions, tomatoes, and garlic? Yes, but that's not all. The vendor soon reaches for a bottle of litchi-flavoured Fresca (a soft drink) and pours it right into the gravy. And just when your brain is still processing that, he tosses in actual litchi chunks. The sweet, syrupy fruit floating in savoury sauce is enough to leave even the most adventurous foodies confused. He lets the mixture simmer, giving it a quick mix before pouring the fruity, fragrant gravy generously over the crispy momos. The plate is then handed to a food vlogger, who appears just as baffled as we are.

The comments section exploded with reactions. One user simply asked, "Why would anyone do this to momos?" while another declared, "This is a crime against street food." Someone added, "Fresca in gravy? I need therapy after this." A momo fan lamented, "Delhi needs a momo intervention." Others couldn't help but turn to humour. "Even aliens wouldn't eat this," wrote one, and another said, "My brain short-circuited just watching this." Another user added, "This is not fusion; this is betrayal." And then there was that one brave voice: "I'd try it... once, for science."

Groom's Bollywood dance to 'Dhoom Machale' wins hearts online, Hrithik Roshan says 'Love it'
An American groom has taken the internet by storm after a video of him dancing to Dhoom Machale at his wedding went viral. Shared by the Instagram account Lettering by Sav, the clip shows the groom—dressed in just his wedding vest and trousers—pulling off energetic moves to the iconic Bollywood number alongside his friends. The video was cheekily captioned, 'When a white boy marries a brown girl.' The surprise twist? Hrithik Roshan, who starred in Dhoom 2 and is often remembered for his dance in the song, saw the video and left a comment under it. The Bollywood star simply wrote, 'Love it,' with a fire emoji and left fans delighted. The groom's performance quickly became a fan favourite. Viewers praised his energy, effort, and joyful embrace of Indian culture. Comments ranged from playful—'Hrithik has been real silent ever since this was posted'—to heartfelt. One person declared, 'This guy's a keeper,' while another joked, 'The Indian government has to give him his Aadhaar card.' But the Dhoom tribute wasn't the only moment that caught attention. In another clip shared by the same account, the groom and his groomsmen are seen dancing to 'Desi Girl' from 'Dostana', again earning applause online. One commenter summed it up best: 'I love in interfaith weddings the non Indian groom dances to Indian music and involves in the culture. I would like to see more of the Indian bride also getting involved in his culture also.' Hrithik was last seen in 'Fighter', directed by Siddharth Anand. The film also featured Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor. He will next be seen in 'War 2', alongside Jr NTR and Kiara Advani. The film, directed by Ayan Mukerji, will also be Jr NTR's most-awaited Bollywood debut. Hrithik is also set to make his directorial debut with 'Krrish 4'. The film will be jointly produced by his father, Rakesh Roshan, and YRF's Aditya Chopra. The actor has also been signed on for a production under Hombale Films. However, details of the project are currently under wraps.

'We often get shamed': Neha Dhupia supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand amid Sandeep Reddy Vanga row
Actor Deepika Padukone's reported exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit over the latter's refusal to an 8-hour shift has sparked a debate about work-life balance for the actors in the film industry. Now, actor Neha Dhupia has weighed in on the issue and spoken in support of Deepika's demands, especially as a working mother. (Also read: Rana Daggubati says Telugu cinema has 8-hour shift amid Deepika Padukone's exit from Spirit: 'Some actors work 4 hours') Although Deepika herself has not spoken about the issue yet, Neha took to her Instagram stories on Monday and posted a note tagging Deepika. In the note, the Singh is Kinng actor wrote, "For work-life balance to go beyond conversations, new moms need practical support and consideration. Instead, we often get shamed or sidelined. As a working mom, I support @deepikapadukone's reasonable request for fair and considerate working hours." Earlier, actor Ajay Devgn also supported Deepika on this matter and said, 'It's not that it's not going down well with people. Most of the honest filmmakers will not have problems with it. And apart from this, being a mother and working for eight hours, most people have started working eight-nine-hour shifts.' Director Mani Ratnam, in an interview with News 18, also gave his two cents on the matter and supported Deepika by saying that if one is in a position to seek such demands, then that is absolutely valid. 'I think it is a rightful demand. I'm glad she's in a position to ask for it. I think as a filmmaker, you will take that into consideration when you cast. It is not an unreasonable thing to ask, but an absolute necessity. I think that should be the priority. You have to acknowledge that, understand it and work around it.' For the uninitiated, after Deepika decided to exit Spirit, reports emerged that stated that Vanga rejected some of her demands, including an 8-hour shift, a share in the film's profits, and not speaking her dialogue in Telugu. Deepika has recently joined Atlee's Telugu film alongside Allu Arjun.
