Over time, dosa evolved to encompass a myriad of variations, from the classic plain dosa to the decadent masala dosa filled with spiced potatoes. As Rhythm Wagholikar aptly puts it, “Each bite of dosa tells a story – of tradition, innovation, and the ever-evolving culinary landscape of India.”
He further states , ‘The allure of dosa transcended borders, finding its way onto the menus of Indian restaurants worldwide. Its light, crispy texture and aromatic flavors captured the imagination of chefs and food enthusiasts alike, leading to creative interpretations and fusion dishes that combined the essence of dosa with diverse culinary traditions’. According to Rhythm Wagholikar, “Dosa is a culinary chameleon, adapting to different tastes and cultures while retaining its essence.”
In cities like London, New York, and Sydney, dosa became a symbol of multiculturalism, embraced by diverse communities and celebrated for its ability to bring people together over a shared love of food. From dosa food trucks to upscale eateries, the influence of dosa on the global culinary landscape was undeniable, serving as a delicious ambassador for Indian cuisine.

Tanuj Virwani shares his insights about getting into the skin of his military character in Yodha, talks about his preparation
Actor Tanuj Virwani is currently in the news and limelight for all the right reasons. He truly has a stellar line-up of projects releasing this year and to begin with, we truly can’t wait for the phenomenon to begin with ‘Yodha’ on 15th March. In this upcoming movie of Dharma Productions, Tanuj is all set to be seen playing a pivotal role alongside the likes of Sidharth Malhotra, Disha Patani and Raashi Khanna. The teaser and the trailer have been loved immensely by the audience and ever since then, the anticipation around Tanuj and his character has risen all the way more. What’s interesting is that this time, everything, right from the character to how he is looking is poles apart from what we have seen the talented actor play on-screen. He earlier opened up about being a part of the task force called the ‘Yodha’ task force alongside Sidharth Malhotra. While the acting part is to be seen on-screen soon, Tanuj has finally opened up about the preparations regarding getting into the skin of a military character. On being asked more about the same, he said and we quote,
“Well, as an actor, I want to always do versatile roles and this opportunity in Yodha was right out there at the top. I have never played such a character before. Not just the fact that this is a military character, everything right from how I look to my mannerisms, etc needed to be modified and changed accordingly as per the need of the script and the narrative. I opted for a clean-shaven look, something I didn’t do for quite a long time. Apart from that, I have observed the body language and mannerisms of the task force in person as well as on YouTube videos. Everything right from how they stand to how they talk, hold their ammunition, the way they hold their poise, sit, & eat, everything needs to be perfect. There was a big sense of responsibility and there’s no way I could afford to go wrong in that. These are the people who protect our country day in day out from external forces. It would be a blunder to not have paid attention to minute details. Hence, I did my best in terms of observation and preparation. For the rest, I can’t wait for my audience to see me on-screen from 15th March, 2024 onwards.”
Well, kudos to Tanuj for being such a prolific actor and still being one of those who likes to focus on the basic things to get his character right on-screen. Here’s wishing him good luck and great success for everything that he does going forward. Stay tuned for more updates.

Singer Shahid Mallya talks about changing times in the industry, reveals how the music scene has changed and evolved from 90’s and early 2000’s
When it comes to the Indian music entertainment industry readers, there’s absolutely no element of doubt over the fact that Shahid Mallya is one of the most credible around. Over the years, the talented singer has pushed the envelope and has put his best foot forward to become a recognised and loved music personality and no wonder, we love all his creations. Off-late, the talented artiste has been in the limelight for his beautiful track ‘Kudmayi’ from Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani for which he even earned a Filmfare nomination and soon after that, he set a new record by officially becoming the first singer whose song has become the main theme of the movie. Yes, that’s right and here, we are talking about the song ‘Dil Khona’ from the upcoming movie ‘Tera Kya Hoga Lovely’.
From the time when Shahid started his music career to now, a lot of things have changed in the industry. The scenario around 90s and 2000s was different and the scenario now is quite different. On being asked to comment about what he feels about the changing trends in the music industry, Shahid shares and we quote,
“Well, a lot has truly changed and why not? Change is truly the only constant in life. Just like how the music industry in the 90s and 2000s were different from what we heard in the 70s and 80s, it’s only natural that things have changed. One significant change that I find and observe is the duration of the tracks. Given the fact that the retention span of the audience has reduced to a great extent, we are now having shorter duration of tracks. Also, ever since the rap culture and EDM scenario exploded in the country, there’s a lot of demand for that kind of music as well. Of course, no one can take away the beauty of soulful and soothing music which has its own melancholy and beauty. However, rap and EDM is now an inevitable part of the music space in the industry. Also, one thing I observe as a singer is that the amount of time people used to practice singing has reduced significantly. The times when I started training, a lot was dependent on ‘riyaz’ since that formed the basic foundation of our training for our vocals. Today, there’s a heavy dependency on autotune due to which even non-singers can be turned into singers. I am completely in for technology and autotune is a great way to enhance the quality of music and the voice. When we have technology to make things better, we must use it. However, if you are only dependent on technology and not making your base strong, then there’s a problem and I feel that the zone needs to be reflected upon.”
Well, kudos to Shahid Mallya for speaking his heart out and sharing his valuable insights on an important topic like this. Here’s hoping that the talented and versatile singer gets success in anything and everything that he attempts going forward in his career. Stay tuned for more updates.

Payal Ghosh’s character in Shaque: The Doubt is all set to bring out legendary Zeenat Aman’s story of resilience & determination, read details here
Payal Ghosh is one of the most hardworking and admired actresses in the Indian entertainment industry and we love her. After having had her share of success and fandom in South regional cinema, Payal managed to spin heads big time with her impactful work in Bollywood and well, ever since then, there was simply no looking back for the talented artiste. Her last film ‘Fire Of Love: Red’ was a grand success and the movie fetched her both commercial success and critical acclaim, something that she always deserved as an artiste. From the time when she ran away from her home in Bengal to becoming a sought-after actress in the Indian entertainment industry today, she’s truly come a long way forward indeed.
Payal’s upcoming movie Shaque: The Doubt is creating a lot of buzz everywhere on social media because Payal is all set to become the first actress who’s set to play the legendary yesteryear superstar Zeenat Aman on-screen. Yes, that’s right. Payal’s character in the movie is set to be inspired from Zeenat Aman and no wonder, it will truly be a delight to see Payal hit the oomph factor high with her version of ‘Dum Maaro Dum’.
However, one must note the fact that ‘Shaque: The Doubt’ isn’t just about presenting the hot and sensuous version of Zeenat Aman. The movie has got a lot to do with the inspiring and motivating traits of Zeenat Aman and that according to Payal is the real challenge. With regards to bringing that alive on-screen, Payal shares and we quote,
“Well, Zeenat Aman ji is a legend and it’s an honour for anyone to get to play a character based on her on-screen. However, one must note that Zeenat Aman ji is a lot more than the hotness and oomph that she’s associated with. While all that is certainly there, she’s also about inspiring the youth in the right direction. She has always been self-dependent, hardworking and motivated individual for whom, career was always an important choice. For someone like her to break stereotypes in the industry and that too at a time when majority of women didn’t have the freedom to work, it speaks a lot about her resilience and determination as a personality. Even today, for many women, the journey towards a working life isn’t easy. So it’s only safe to imagine that during her era, it was 10 times more difficult. Still, she managed to use her resilience and determination despite all the setbacks and obstacles that she faced in her life to become the legend that she is today. For me, that’s the real challenge to bring alive on-screen in my character. I am going to do my thorough research and prepare very well to do justice to her legacy and the faith which my director Rajeev Chaudhari has shown on me. I am looking forward to receiving a lot of love for this one from my audience. Fingers crossed.”
Well, kudos to Payal for showing so much love and respect to a living legend and taking the opportunity so seriously that she wants to deliver and do her best for the same. Here’s wishing the super talented and beautiful actress all the very best for everything that she does going forward. Stay tuned for more updates.

The Indian entertainment industry is filled with gorgeous and raging beauties who are always on top of their game when it comes to radiating positive vibes, beauty, charm and exuberance. While it is a daunting task naturally for some due to which a team of fashion experts come handy all the time, for some, it is something absolutely natural.
