Archana Puran Singh's sons stand at Mumbai traffic signal to get ‘genuine reactions' for their new song, people recognise only one of them
Equipped with a mobile phone, headphones, and a yellow poster that said, 'Hey, come listen to our song', the gang started their journey to Bandra. They stopped right alongside Marine Drive and started inviting people to come and listen to the song just as the street lights came on. Aary admitted that he is feeling a little bit nervous about people listening to the song right in front of him; he said, 'What if people don't like it?' Ayushmaan, who made the music video for the song, seemed much more carefree about the whole thing, as he was walking around imitating Nana Patekar's character from the film Welcome. They soon got their first listener, and the ball started rolling as more and more people stopped to give the song a listen.

While some people who stopped and listened to the song did not recognise the brothers or Yogita, a lot of fans rushed to get their pictures clicked with all three of them, and many even shared their experiences of watching the vlogs. Ayushmaan and Yogita soon came up with a tactic and told Aaryamann to go and hide so people would give their honest reactions after listening to the song. Even with him not there, the listeners seemed to like the song and kept congratulating Aaryamann on appearing. One of the listeners thought that Ayushmaan looked a lot like Parmeet Sethi and stopped to give the song a listen. On discovering that Ayushmaan is in fact Parmeet's son, who is frequently seen in vlogs with him, he shared that he knew Parmeet and Archana but never knew they had another son apart from Ayushmaan.
Aarymann reacted to this and said, 'Mai pehle aya tha (I was here first). He knows both Mom and Dad and even Ayushmaan, but he doesn't know me. Jitne bhi vlogs karlu mai, log pehle isse hi pehchanegay, dusra beta toh tha hi nahi (No matter how many vlogs I make, people will still recognise him first. It's like the other son was never there.' Yogita decided to cheer him up by pointing out that a lot of people know him and that is the reason she and Ayushmaan suggested that he should hide. She continued and said, 'Aap sab kehte rehte ho na ki Ayush ko lekar aao vlog mai, yeh karta hai yeh jab vlog mai ata hai (You guys keep asking for Ayush to be part of the vlogs. This is what he does when he is here.'

Recently, the Anupamaa actor called on the government to create a National Award category for television regional to YouTube content creators, there are National Awards for everyone, Rupali Ganguly questions, why there's nothing for TV actors.

She told Viral Bhayani, "When a film star works continuously for two days, it makes headlines. But no one talked about how we, the TV artists, worked non-stop from 6 am to 6 pm during the pandemic. I request the government to consider us also. We work very hard. It'll be nice to have some validation."The conversation around her comments gained further attention due to the return of Smriti Irani , former Information & Broadcasting Minister, to her iconic TV role of Tulsi Virani in the reboot of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Ganguly said she hopes Smriti Irani's return to TV will help speed up the process of creating National Awards for TV actors. "It's a big moment for the TV industry. Her comeback could help start this important discussion," she fans have been pitting the two powerful female leads, Anupamaa and Tulsi, against each other on social media. Capitalising on this buzz, StarPlus released a crossover promo where Anupamaa is seen video, calling Tulsi and welcoming her back to Ekta Kapoor, however, brushed aside the comparisons. 'Rupali is a big star. Anupamaa has done what no other show could in the last seven years. It will continue to be number one,' she told Brut in an interview.

The Hindi adaptation has been produced by Rajan Shahi.

MrBeast and creators team up as water campaign raises 6 million years of clean water
On August 1, YouTube star MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) and fellow creator Mark Rober launched #TeamWater, a global fundraiser aiming to raise $40 million by August 31. The goal: provide clean water for 2 million people, with $1 giving one person one year of water. At press time, the campaign had already delivered over 6 million years of water service to communities in need. Over 3,000 creators across 84 countries are participating, using their platforms to raise awareness and funds. The funds raised through #TeamWater go primarily to WaterAid, a nonprofit with four decades of experience building long‑term water infrastructure. Projects include solar‑powered wells, rainwater harvesting systems, rain and desalination systems, and gravity‑fed pipelines, all designed with and maintained by local communities to last for decades. Additional charity partners GivePower, DigDeep, and the Alok Foundation help implement projects in places like Kenya, Brazil, Colombia, Malawi, Bangladesh, Ecuador, and the U.S. (including Jackson, Mississippi and rural West Virginia). According to United Nations data, more than 2 billion people lacked safely managed drinking water as of 2022, and by 2040, up to 4.5 billion people could face water scarcity. #TeamWater aims to address this urgent crisis by combining global creator reach with real‑world solutions. Critics of past campaigns like #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas note the need for deeper engagement, but TeamWater partners with WaterAid to focus on community‑rooted planning and maintenance, making change sustainable, not temporary. The campaign builds on MrBeast and Rober's previous successes, #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas, which helped plant 20 million trees and remove over 30 million pounds of ocean trash, raising more than $50 million total. This time, content creators such as Kai Cenat, the Stokes Twins, Dude Perfect, Hank Green, and Gordon Ramsay are producing videos and social media posts to inspire donations from their combined billions of viewers. Even YouTube has pledged $2 million in support. The campaign uses creative and authentic content, from personal stories to water challenges, to engage audiences and convert views into meaningful, longstanding impact.
