Dipika Kakar breaks down as father-in-law calls her ‘jaan' of Ibrahim family; celebrates birthday after cancer surgery
The vlog opens up with Dipika unboxing a gift bag with a post-it note on it, which read '3 days to go.' The bag holds a brand new Armani Exchange t-shirt, which Dipika really likes and jokes about, saying, 'Ab toh fit bhi ajayegi' (Now it will fit). The bag has a scented candle in it as well, which again is appreciated by the actor. The next day, Dipika opens up another present given by her father-in-law, and it's a traditional Indian dress. He tells her to call him on WhatsApp to see the next present, and upon calling, Dipika notices that he has changed his profile picture and put up a picture of them together. She revels with joy and thanks him for the gesture.

Aside from all the gifts, Dipika gives her audience a glimpse into her new eating habits and says, 'I know that the coffee mug looks big, but I have filled it less than half. I don't drink a lot of coffee these days, but the mug is ingrained in my habits. I also eat khakhras for my evening snack, and the house is always equipped with several different kinds.' After this the actor opens her presents for the day, and first she opens a small white box which has a 'tree of life' charm in it for her watch. Along with it there is a letter written by her father-in-law, and Dipika is hardly able to contain her emotions reading it.
In the letter, her father-in-law tells her to look at the tree of life whenever she feels low or sad and tells her, 'Tum keval hamarai family ki jaan hi nahi, par shaan bhi ho. Tum Ibrahim parivar ki jadh ho.' (You aren't just the life of the family; you are its pride as well. You are the root of the Ibrahim household.' We later see some more heartfelt moments of Dipika with her son and husband, as she wears the aforementioned suit on her birthday and cuts the cake as the whole family celebrates. The Sasural Simar Ka actor has gone through a lot in recent times, and the vlog shows how her family is standing right beside her on this journey to recovery.

Pb teacher celebrates linguistic diversity through children's songs
Ludhiana: In a heartwarming initiative that blends education with cultural harmony, a schoolteacher from Punjab has found a unique way to nurture linguistic respect among children. Karamjit Singh Grewal, who teaches at Govt Primary School, Khedi Jhamedi, has composed nearly 10 children's songs in as many Indian languages, an effort aimed at fostering diversity and tolerance. Influenced by his background in scouting and having friends from different parts of the country, Grewal believes language can play a powerful role in building bonds across communities. "The idea struck me that children should learn simple songs in different languages so that they feel connected with people from diverse cultural backgrounds," he says. In an age when urban youth often lean toward learning languages like Spanish or French, Grewal feels there is equal value in embracing vast linguistic richness closer home. "When we hear someone from another state speaking Punjabi, it feels heartwarming. They experience the same joy when we try speaking their language," he says, stressing the emotional connection language creates. So far, Grewal has successfully sung songs for children in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Gujarati, Dogri, Bengali, Bodo, Assamese, Hindi, apart from mother-tongue Punjabi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Last Chance: 80% Off This Artisan's Retirement Jewelry Sale The Heritage Journal Read More Undo "Languages are not just about words, they are windows to different cultures. That's why the subjects of the songs vary and are rooted in the traditions and stories of the regions they represent," he says. What makes this initiative particularly impactful is the way it creates bridges among children, even when comprehension is limited. "Children might not understand every word, but when they sing these songs, they would appreciate other languages as well," Grewal says. Grewal plans to expand the project further. His goal is to create videos of children's songs in 24 languages, ensuring that young learners across the country can access and enjoy them. "This is my small contribution to nurturing a generation that not only respects but also celebrates the cultural and linguistic differences," he said.

Box Office: Coolie and War 2 ensure a bumper opening weekend in India; Rajinikanth, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR contribute Rs 430 crore in 4 days
Coolie and War 2 are the two latest releases of Indian cinema. While the Rajinikanth starrer is performing well, the latter is struggling to gain the much-needed traction. Since both movies were released on Thursday, they enjoyed a 4-day extended opening weekend. However, exhibitors are happy as both Independence Day releases have brought audiences back to the cinemas. Coolie and War 2 collectively rakes in Rs 430 crore during the Independence Day weekend Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie opened with Rs 75.50 crore. It further raked in Rs 63.50 crore on Day 2 and Rs 47.50 crore on Day 3. As per estimates, the movie stormed over Rs 44 crore on its Day 4, bringing the opening weekend cume to Rs 230 crore gross at the Indian box office. While on the other hand, War 2 kickstarted its box office run with Rs 59 crore on its opening day. It further collected Rs 67 crore on the Independence Day followed by Rs 38 crore on the third day. Estimates suggest the movie added another Rs 35 crore to the tally on its fourth day, bringing the opening weekend total to Rs 200 crore gross in India. Collectively, both Coolie and War 2 sums up Rs 430 crore gross at the domestic box office. Had both movies performed to their full potential, the combined figure would have easily surpassed the Rs 500 crore mark in the first weekend alone. Globally, both movies have clocked over the Rs 600 crore mark in the first four days of their theatrical runs. Coolie performs best down South, War 2 dominates the Northern belt Coolie fared best in its home turf along with Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In contrast, War 2 dominated the North India belt with a solid margin. Both Independence Day releases are expected to end their theatrical run on a similar figure in India, with Coolie leading the clash. However, the Lokesh Kanagaraj movie will maintain a big margin in the international markets. It will be interesting to see whether both of them collectively can reach the Rs 1000 crore mark globally, as none of them now can achieve the four-digit magical figure alone. Coolie and War 2 in cinemas Coolie and War 2 are playing in cinemas. You can book your tickets from the online ticket-booking websites or grab them from the counter itself.
