Ayushmann Khurrana credits Arijit Singh for his first singing performance in Dallas: ‘He really requested…’

Published by Parlour News

Ayushmann Khurrana has already proved his mettle as a skilled actor by delivering several hit movies. But over the years, he has also established himself as an ace singer and performer. Currently, the artist is touring America, making his fans go gaga over his soulful voice. But he didn’t forget to credit Arijit Singh for making him do his first-ever live singing performance in the US in front of over fifty thousand people. While interacting with IANS, Ayushmann Khurrana stated that he always used to think of himself as a good actor who can sing as part of films. But the thought of doing an onstage performance in front of thousands of people never crossed his mind as he always thought he was more of an actor than a singer. “The credit of doing my first music performance goes to Arijit Singh,” the actor-singer stated. Going back in time, he recalled his first performance in front of scores of people, all thanks to Singh. The Dream Girl 2 star spilled that every year, a Diwali Mela …

Virat Kohli and team India secured a commanding victory over Australia in the first Test of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The cricketer hit a century in the second innings and sent out flying kisses to wife Anushka Sharma in the stands. Former coach Ravi Shastri recently recalled a similar incident from the Australia Tour in 2015 and revealed that Virat had requested him to bring his then-girlfriend Anushka along. In a chat with Fox Cricket, Ravi Shastri shared an anecdote from when he was a coach in 2015. He said that Virat Kohli was dating Anushka Sharma at that time. Remembering the cricketer’s request to bring the actress on the Australia Tour, Shastri shared, “He came and he said, ‘Only wives are allowed. Can I get my girlfriend in here?’ I said, ‘Sure.’ He said, ‘No, the board is not allowing it.’ So I made the call, and she came up, and she joined him.” Shastri recalled that after that, Virat scored 169 in the Boxing Day Test. He mentioned how the scenes were similar to what …

Throwback to when Ajith Kumar requested his fans to drop ‘Thala’ from his name and decided to dismantle all his fan clubs

Throwback to when Ajith Kumar requested his fans to drop ‘Thala’ from his name and decided to dismantle all his fan clubs

Published by Parlour News

Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar had been called by the name tag “Thala,” which means The Head or Leader, by his fans after the film Dheena was released back in 2001. However, cut to 20 years later, the actor made an official announcement in 2021 asking everyone to refrain from using the same. In a post shared by AK’s manager Suresh Chandra on X (formerly Twitter), the actor conveyed, “To The Respected members of the Media, public and genuine fans. I henceforth wish to be referred to as Ajith, Ajith Kumar, or Just AK n not as “Thala” or anyother prefix b4 my name.” See the official post by Suresh Chandra for Ajith Kumar here: The name tag in the prefix for Ajith Kumar had been used for many years in media and by fans to address the actor over the years. For those unaware, Dheena, starring Ajith in the lead role, was directed by AR Murugadoss as his debut venture. The action flick featured AK in the lead role, who played a local rowdy. The movie …

DJI just added the two most requested features to its 9 Neo drone

DJI just added the two most requested features to its $199 Neo drone

Published by Webster

But DJI is now fixing both, adding vertical video and dramatically increasing the Neo’s flight speed while tracking. According to DC Rainmaker, it’s now so fast it can keep up with cyclists, and surprisingly flies faster in tracking mode than it does with a controller. Before the firmware update, the drone wasn’t able to keep up with him cycling at even 13 miles per hour (21kph). But after the update, he saw a huge increase to roughly 20 miles per hour (32 kph). That’s faster than you can manually fly the drone, even in Sport mode, so hopefully DJI will soon let us access that speed increase for FPV flying as well. The vertical mode is arguably more exciting because of the social video platforms where your footage can now more easily live — but a couple caveats you should know. First, limited to the Neo’s fairly grainy 1080p mode, not 4K, though you can go up to 60fps. To my eye, it looks about as good as the Neo’s 1080p horizontal filming mode. “9:16” …

Saira Banu fell in love with the screen image of Dilip Kumar when she was just 12, and decided that she wanted to marry him. At that time, she lived in London and didn’t know him personally but in her late teens, she decided to become an actor. Saira’s family was against this decision and unbeknownst to her, her family members who were friends with Dilip Kumar asked the star to discourage her from joining the film industry. Dilip even refused to star in a few films with her so she would get discouraged. Recalling how Dilip Kumar refused to do films with her, Saira told ATN Canada, “Do you know he (Dilip) refused film after film with me including Ram Aur Shyam; this is something I hold against him.” In the same interview, Dilip clarified, “The decision was made under instructions. Some of Saira’s family members didn’t want her to be in films and I thought I would be displeasing her family members. I was a good friend of her father as well as …

After RCB Heartbreak, Virat Kohli Requested BCCI For Extended Break, Could Miss This Match: Report

Published by Webster

The Indian cricket team is likely to be without the services of Virat Kohli for the warm-up game against Bangladesh on June 01, ahead of the start of the T20 World Cup 2024. Kohli, who was with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) squad for the Eliminator clash against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, didn’t fly with the first batch of players to the USA and West Indies for the showpeice event. As per a report, Virat sought an extended break from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) following RCB’s heartbreaking exit from the IPL. Hence, his availability for the warm-up clash against Bangladesh is highly doubtful. As per a report in the Indian Express, Kohli had informed the BCCI of his plan to join the team late, and had even kept his visa appointment late. The talismanic batter is expected to leave for New York on May 30th. Hence, he might not be ready for the warm-up match on June 01. “Kohli had informed us way beforehand that …

Sonos is teasing its ‘most requested product ever’ on Tuesday

Published by Webster

Sonos is teasing, both in emails and on social media, that its “most requested product ever” is “coming soon” on May 21st (this Tuesday). This, of course, is almost certainly the Sonos Ace, its first wireless headphones. Sonos has been expected to launch the Ace in June, but given the company’s “most requested” phrasing here and the fact that the headphones recently appeared for sale by authorized dealer Schuurman, it seems they’re coming sooner than that. A launch this week could help Sonos with some of the ire surrounding the roll-out of its new app earlier this month. The app was ostensibly created in part to support the Sonos Ace, but is missing key features like a sleep timer or those related to local library management. And getting those features back in the app may take months. The Roam and Ace aside, there’s not much else that the company is likely to announce this week. Rumor has it that Sonos is preparing to release a TV streaming device, but not until late this year at …
