Farah Khan's household chef, Dilip, has unexpectedly become a viral hit across social media, delighting viewers with his spontaneous humor and unfiltered personality in her YouTube vlogs. In the latest episode shared by the choreographer and filmmaker, Farah and her ever-enthusiastic kitchen companion pay a visit to filmmaker Kabir Khan and his wife, television host Mini Mathur. During their cheerful get-together, the duo prepared mouth-watering delicacies including Shikampuri kebabs and Kulle ki Chaat.As the culinary session unfolds, Dilip—brimming with excitement—shares his dream of making a silver screen appearance in the much-anticipated sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the beloved Salman Khan blockbuster. Hoping to leave a strong impression on Kabir Khan, the man behind the original film, Dilip showers him with exaggerated admiration. Clearly entertained by the flattery, Kabir playfully quips that Dilip should portray the iconic child character Munni in Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2.
The vlog opens with Farah announcing their arrival at the Khans' residence. Dilip brings along a doll, humorously introducing it as 'Chunni', the fictional sibling of Munni. With a glint in his eye, he earnestly says, 'I will act in Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, right?' Not stopping there, he boldly tells Kabir that he also wants to feature in the upcoming Tiger 2, another Salman-led action franchise.Laughing at the audacity, Kabir reminds him that the Tiger series already has three movies. Teasingly, he says, 'So now it's four. Are you suggesting we retire Salman and replace him with you?' Dilip chuckles and insists that he doesn't want to replace Salman Khan but would love to play the lion—sher—in the film. As he continues preparing the dishes, Dilip keeps praising Kabir nonstop. Exasperated but amused, Farah turns to the director and says, 'Please just give him a role so he'll finally stop this nonsense!'Kabir then jokingly proclaims, 'Dilip will play Munni in Bajrangi 2!' to which Farah calls him a chamcha, or sycophant, for his over-the-top compliments. The fun doesn't end there. Kabir's daughter, Sairah, takes it upon herself to teach Dilip a few dance moves. Mini Mathur humorously declares that it's Dilip's audition for the sequel. Lighting up with excitement, Dilip gives the dance routine his best shot, clearly thrilled by the moment.Meanwhile, speculation is building around the official sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Sources report that Salman Khan is actively discussing story ideas with screenwriter V. Vijayendra Prasad. According to an insider quoted by Mid Day, 'They met recently and exchanged thoughts. Talks are ongoing and developing.'While the sequel remains in the planning stages, fans can enjoy Dilip's antics in Farah's vlog—a delightful blend of food, fun, and film dreams, wrapped in laughter and unfiltered charm.

'Aaru', ICCW's new music video, strings together Tamil Nadu's river heritage
These days, rivers in the State are remembered more for floods than for the life they once nurtured. 'Aaru-Rivers of Tamil Nadu', a new music video, seeks to gently remind us of the State's water wealth — by simply calling each river by name, and stringing them together in a soulful tribute. Launched by the International Centre for Clean Water (ICCW), a not-for-profit initiative of IIT-Madras, the seven-minute song sung by father-daughter duos aims at creating awareness on rivers, and seeks collaboration with various stakeholders on rejuvenation of rivers. Conceived, composed, and produced by Kanniks Kannikeswaran, IIT-Madras Alumnus who pioneered the Indian American choral movement, the song's lyrics have woven in names of at least 125 rivers in the State. 'This is the third video produced by ICCW since 2021. The idea is to encourage youngsters to learn the names of the rivers, rekindle reverence, and induce people to pay attention to waterways,' said E. Nandakumar, Chief Executive Officer, ICCW. While the first music video was on the rivers of India, the second one, released in 2022, depicted the significance of monsoons and rainwater harvesting. Music and arts were chosen as the media to convey powerful messages about rivers and the need for conservation. This time, the song, which is available on ICCW's YouTube channel, featured father-daughter duos — veteran singers Unnikrishnan and Uttara; Srinivas and Sharanya. 'In the first video, we had chosen mother-son duos to symbolise the generational transition in celebrating our rivers and passing on the responsibility to restore them,' Mr. Nandakumar said. Noting that the idea for the project took root during an IIT-M reunion in 2020, Mr. Kannikeswaran based in Cincinnati, USA, said: 'It was humbling to know that there are more than 125 rivers in the State during my research. Each of them powerful, but some lost their functionality over the years. I have tuned it in the Tamil folk style, blending in flavours of ragas like Senchurutti. I used alliterations and rhyming words such as 'Pongum Porunai' and 'Kongu Bhavani' to make the lyrics flow with the tune.' There are plans to bring out more such videos on rivers in other States, including Gujarat, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, and integrate the region's folk and classical raga traditions, he added. ICCW looks to collaborate with other educational institutions for the project.

YouTube pilots vernacular thumbnails to complement dubbing tools
YouTube is introducing a new feature that can help creators expand their global reach by tailoring their thumbnails for international audiences, according to a Business Insider report. According to a company spokesperson, the platform will soon allow select creators to upload different thumbnails for each dubbed version of their videos, enhancing the ability to localise content based on the viewer's language. The feature is expected to roll out in the coming days and will initially be available only to creators who already have access to YouTube's multi-language audio dubbing tools. YouTube has been gradually expanding these tools, which use AI to enable creators to dub their videos into other languages. The platform began testing this technology with a limited group of creators as early as 2023. 'We're always testing more ways for creators to reach new audiences,' the spokesperson told Business Insider. 'In this case, a handful of creators are able to localise their thumbnails for videos with multiple language audio tracks.' This new capability builds on YouTube's broader strategy to break language barriers and maximise content visibility worldwide. The platform has seen growing interest in dubbing among major content creators, including global YouTube star MrBeast , who has publicly embraced AI-powered dubbing as a tool to reach millions of non-English speaking viewers. By allowing localised thumbnails, YouTube not only ensures that video titles and audio match a viewer's language preferences, but also makes the visual experience more culturally relevant—potentially increasing click-through rates and engagement in diverse regions. Live Events This feature reflects YouTube's ongoing investment in global creator tools, further positioning the platform as a leader in cross-language content distribution.

‘Salman Khan took an elder-like role': Sonali Bendre recalls actor making 2 trips to New York during her cancer treatment
If you are a sucker for family dramas, then we bet Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Saath Saat Hai will be amongst the list of your favorite movies. Although there were 3 Jodis in this movie, Salman Khan and Sonali Bendre's pairing was loved by many. Their sweet and innocent romance hit the right chords. But did you know? These two did not get along well on the sets. In a recent interview, the actress not only spoke on this but also revealed how Bhaijaan stood by her after her cancer diagnosis. What did Salman Khan do after Sonali Bendre's cancer diagnosis? In 2018, Sonali Bendre was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic cancer. This changed things completely for her. The actress flew to New York for her treatment. Indeed, it was a tough time for her. But talking to ANI, the Sarfarosh star recalled how Salman Khan stepped up, showing a side that she had never seen before. She revealed that the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor made 2 trips to New York to ensure Sonali was okay in her illness. She also stated that Khan would call up her husband and check with him if they had the right doctors. He would also suggest the name of the doctors he felt would be better, Bendre. She also claimed that her Hum Saath Saath Hai co-star took on an elder-like role during this hard time. 'And then once he was convinced that we had done what was the best option at this point, he was calm about it. But to do that just showed how sensitive and caring he is,' said Sonali. Why did Sonali Bendre not like Salman Khan during Hum Saath Saath Hai shoot? During the same interview, Sonali recalled her time on the star-studded Sooraj Barjatya film set. The actress revealed that she did not get along well with Salman Khan at first. The Bharat star's playful side annoyed her during the shoot. 'I grew to like Salman later. I mean, it was a process. At the time of Hum Saath Saath Hain, I don't think we were.. let me put it mildly. We were not best of friends,' said the actress. Sonali Bendre fought cancer and became cancer-free in 2021. Since then, she has been quite vocal about the illness and keeps supporting cancer patients.
