Viineet Kumar Singh reveals taking paternity leave to focus on family: 'The moment I saw my son, everything changed'
Viineet Kumar Singh on taking paternity leave
Viineet revealed that he has taken a break from work and said, 'Right now, my focus is entirely on my family. I took time off intentionally because I didn't want to miss a single moment. Even during the pregnancy, I made sure I was present—wrapping up work early, accompanying Ruchiraa for every check-up, trying to be as hands-on as possible.'
Reflecting on becoming a father, he added, 'It's hard to even put it into words. The moment I saw my son, everything changed. There's this quiet shift that happens inside you, and suddenly, nothing else feels more important. I didn't know I could feel this way. Every smile, every little sound he makes—it's all so special. I'm still adjusting, still learning, but it's the most beautiful kind of overwhelming. People say your world changes when you become a parent, and I finally understand what they mean.'
In May 2025, Viineet announced their pregnancy by sharing pictures with his wife, Ruchiraa Singh, proudly showing off her baby bump. On 24 July, the actor shared a heart-warming post, revealing the birth of their son.
He wrote, 'God's kindness overflows! Move over, world, the littlest Singh has arrived, and he's already stealing hearts and milk bottles. Thank you, God for this precious little bundle of joy! – Ruchiraa & Viineet.' Several of his industry friends, including Vikrant Massey, Farah Khan, Amit Sadh, and Manoj Bajpayee, congratulated the couple and showered love on the newborn.
Viineet Kumar Singh's recent work
Viineet is currently receiving praise for his performance in the web series Rangeen, directed by Amardeep Galsin and Amir Rizvi. The show also stars Rajshri Deshpande and Taaruk Raina, and is available on Amazon Prime Video.
Earlier this year, Viineet was seen in Chhaava, which became the highest-grossing film of the year, Jaat, which earned ₹118.85 crore worldwide, and Superboys of Malegaon, which was critically acclaimed. The actor is yet to announce his next project.

Optical illusion: These purple shapes are hiding something surprising. Can you see it?
Optical illusions have long fascinated viewers by bending reality and confusing the brain, but a new image shared on Instagram has taken that fascination to another level. Posted by the page How Things Work, the image shows what initially appears to be five oddly textured purple objects — resembling popsicles or items dipped in paint. However, the real task is to look beyond the surface and identify what's actually in the picture. A brain-teasing image went viral after baffling viewers with its hidden subject.(Instagram/thishowthingswork) (Also read: Optical illusion: Can you spot the hidden cat that's fooled even the sharpest eyes?) The caption on the post challenges viewers directly, stating, "This picture will break your brain, but once you see it, you can't unsee it." What starts off as a confusing assortment of abstract purple shapes soon reveals something entirely unexpected once you take a closer look. Take a look here at the image: A test of perception The optical illusion functions as a visual brain teaser, prompting viewers to re-evaluate their initial impression and search for the truth hidden within the colours and textures. As with many such illusions, the image plays with lighting, angles and familiar shapes to trick the brain into seeing something that isn't there or more accurately, failing to see what is. Internet reacts Since being shared, the post has sparked a discussion in the comments section, with viewers expressing their shock, amusement and curiosity. One user commented, "It took me a full minute but now I can't stop seeing it." Another wrote, "This literally broke my brain for a second. Genius!" Someone else added, "I showed this to my sister and she screamed when she realised what it was." A viewer jokingly asked, "Is this some kind of wizardry?" while another user shared, "My eyes hurt, but it's worth it once you figure it out." Others confessed their confusion, saying things like, "Still can't see it, someone help!" and "This is driving me crazy but I love it." So, have you figured out what's really in the image? Look again — you might just surprise yourself.

Filmmaker Mohit Suri Celebrates Saiyaara Success With Food Distribution Drive
Last Updated: Mohit Suri's film Saiyaara, marking Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's debuts, has grossed over Rs 300 crore globally. Suri celebrated with a food drive in Mumbai. Saiyaara Movie: Following the mega success of his latest directorial, filmmaker Mohit Suri took the opportunity to celebrate in a meaningful way — by organising a food distribution drive. The film marked both Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Bollywood debuts. Saiyaara has been garnering praise for its fresh pairing, soulful music, and emotional storytelling. With audiences connecting deeply with the film's narrative, Saiyaara has enjoyed a successful opening and steady word-of-mouth traction — a win not only for the stars but for the entire team behind it. To mark the film's growing success, Suri was organised a food distribution drive in Mumbai. Here is the video: Mohit Suri, in a recently interview, revealed that Ahaan Panday has a 'chapri' side that went unexplored in Saiyaara due to the script's demands. In a conversation with Komal Nahta, Mohit Suri said that Ahaan is a true 'TikToker' who 'dances for the front benchers' in Gaiety Galaxy. Mohit Suri said, 'He has a whole different side—the way he dances, he's a gallery man! He dances for the front benchers. Aapne woh videos dekhe nahi hai jo usne pull down kar diye. TikToker hai yeh ladka. Full chapri hai. He's a full, out-there, galleried, Gaiety Galaxy boy jo Bandra mein hai (You haven't seen the videos he deleted—this guy is a total TikToker! He's a loud, energetic, over-the-top Gaiety Galaxy boy from Bandra)." The filmmaker recalled an anecdote, 'Mujhe yaad hai, 30th day of shooting par, jab 50 per cent shoot ho chuki thi, he suddenly turns to our creative producer and says, 'Sumanna, maine kya kiya tha audition mein? Aisa toh koi audition diya hi nahi tha maine. Mujhe bola gaya tha, you are the right one (I remember on the 30th day of shooting, when half the film was done, he turned to our creative producer and said, 'Sumanna, what did I even do in the audition? I didn't give a big performance. I was just told I'm the right one)." Meanwhile, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara is showing no signs of slowing down. The film, which released on July 18, has crossed Rs 300 crore globally. It continues to set the cash registers ringing despite competition from recently-released Hindi and South films.
