Shot in vibrant Los Angeles, the video presents a charming love story that fuses Indo-Western fashion with striking pop aesthetics, featuring Natania in stylish looks and Abedi's calligraphy adding a distinctive artistic touch. Aadil Abedi remarks, "Collaborating with Natania was pure magic - it's the first time I've brought my calligraphy into a music video, and seeing music and art merge so seamlessly was incredibly special. Creating the massive set piece allowed my art to breathe and it's the first time my work has found a home in a music video. Thank you, Natania, for inviting me into your world.'

'I married the guy who hated me in school' — this viral love story has everyone smiling
In a sea of Friendship Day messages filled with old group photos, childhood anecdotes, and notes to friends-turned-family, one post quietly broke through the noise– for being refreshingly real and unexpectedly touching. Aanchal Rawat's post on X on August 3 wasn't a tribute to a friend, but to her husband– the same classmate who once refused to speak to her after an innocent mishap in school. Years later, they crossed paths again– this time not in a classroom, but on a matrimonial app– and the rest, as they say, came full circle. 'I married the guy who hated me in school' In her now-viral post, Rawat shared two contrasting photos– an old class picture with both of them marked out, and a recent one from their wedding. But it was her caption that caught everyone's attention. 'I married the guy who hated me in school,' she wrote. According to Rawat, they barely interacted in school, and their one notable memory was far from friendly. 'I was the kind of girl who didn't want to be friends with boys. A nerdy, shy guy once tried sharing his lunch with me. I accidentally broke his Pokémon tiffin box. I think I almost made him cry that day, and he never spoke to me again,' she recalled. Aanchal Rawat's post on X: A long silence and a light-hearted comeback Years passed, and there was no contact between them– until they unexpectedly matched on a matrimonial app 15 years later. Rawat shared how the conversation began with a callback to their only memorable moment from school. 'His first text was literally: 'Will you ever buy me a new tiffin box?'' Though their school days didn't spark a friendship, their later conversations did. Rawat ended her post with, 'No friendship happened in school, but yes, we ended up married. Happy Friendship Day, husband.' Internet reacts with humour and warmth The post quickly gained traction, with users across X reacting with a mix of humour, nostalgia, and affection. One user commented, 'He remembered! Hope you never break another tiffin again. Wishing you both all the meals and memories ahead.' Another remarked, 'From breaking his tiffin to packing his lunch– love that journey for you!' 'Tiffin box se lekar tiffin banana tak ka safar,' read one comment. 'Pokémon ne bana di jodi,' added another. Some reflected on their own school memories. 'I deserve a love story like this too, God,' one user wrote, while another noted, 'You often become great friends with schoolmates you once disliked.' A user summed it up saying, 'He clearly knows how to hold on to gifts more than grudges. Wishing you two all the happiness.' social media post .

US woman slams influencer for mocking Indian accent in viral video
A social media influencer found herself at the receiving end of the internet after a woman of Indian origin called her out for mimicking the accent of an Indian woman who was arrested for shoplifting in the influencer had recreated the woman's interaction with US police - recorded on a bodycam - where she asked officers if she could pay for the items she was accused of stealing. But the mimicry didn't land well with Cassandra Jerome, an Indian-origin creator, who accused the US-based influencer of casual responded with a video of her own, posted on Instagram, where she expressed her discomfort with the trend of mocking accents, especially when used as the punchline. "I'm not going to sit here on a high horse and say stereotypes can't be funny," she said, adding, "I'm a human being. I have a pulse and a sense of humour. These things can be done tastefully."But her issue lay with how some jokes stripped context and relied solely on how people sounded. 'When people start dying over the Indian accent, I think that's hilarious. It just comes across as so uneducated to me,' she elaborated that while humour involving accents could work if done with intention and awareness, reducing someone's way of speaking to a joke only reflects poorly on the person making it."If the Indian accent is used in a joke that has some context and is done so well that it shocks me, it gets a laugh. But when the punchline is that we sound weird, I have learned something about you. All it tells me is that your worldview has not moved much past your nose. When does it stop being funny?" she also pointed out how common that very accent is, especially for people raised in India. 'Thousands of people around me had that accent. You're 'hehe-ing' and 'haha-ing' over something that's entirely normal to so many people. Expand your horizons and leave us alone. Please,' she the viral video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cassandra Jerome (@casjerome)The video prompted strong reactions from viewers online. Several users supported Jerome's stance and shared their own experiences of being mocked for their accents.'What's interesting is that there are so many variations of Indian accents, but people always go for that one exaggerated version,' said a user. Another user added, 'It's just CRAZY when people want high levels of respect for their culture but show such low respect for others.'advertisementA user shared a personal anecdote: 'I remember getting a ride from this girl in college—her Siri voice was set to an Indian accent. When someone asked why, she said it was funny. That never sat right with me.'One of the users pointed out the deeper irony in the influencer's actions: 'This is crazy because this Black woman has likely faced rejection in some Indian spaces too. And now, she's adding to the confusion and hate by mocking an accent. It has to stop somewhere.''Honestly, every accent is beautiful, Indian, French, Mexican, Chinese, African, Central American. If you're laughing at how someone talks, I think you're just uncultured,' said a user. Cassandra Jerome's video led to a wider conversation around humour, intent, and the need to move beyond lazy stereotypes.- Ends
