Samay Raina shuts down joke linked to Rs 370 biryani row

Comedian Samay Raina is earning praise online after a recent episode of India's Got Latent featured him calling out a misogynistic remark linked to the viral Rs 370 biryani controversy that sparked widespread outrage earlier this month. Rs 370 biryani row The incident traces back to a stand-up show by comedian Pranit More, where an audience member narrated a story about spending Rs 370 on a chicken biryani during a date and then suggested that he was entitled to something in return from the woman. The comment was widely criticised for appearing to glorify coercive and non-consensual behaviour, triggering backlash across social media and prompting intervention from the National Commission for Women (NCW).

This Windmill Smart Air Conditioner Is My Home Upgrade of the Week

As temperatures keep climbing here in New York City, I've been thinking a lot about what's made my apartment actually livable through the last couple of summers. The Windmill Window Air Conditioner isn't a new upgrade for me; I've been using it for about a year and a half after scoring one for free from a friend. But with the heat recently roaring back to full strength, it feels like the perfect moment to shout about it. Here’s why this is the best air conditioner I've ever used. What really makes this AC a tech upgrade is how the companion app lets you control the unit from your phone. Before I had the Windmill, I'd come home to a sweltering apartment, crank the AC, and wait in front of it. Now, I can open the app on ...

Ramandeep Yadav says missing Black Warrant led him to Rajjo

Destiny works in mysterious ways. Just ask actor Ramandeep Yadav, who is earning praise for playing Rajjo in Prime Video’s Raakh, a character inspired by notorious criminal Ranga of the infamous Ranga-Billa case. Ironically, the actor says the role came to him after another opportunity slipped away. Yadav had auditioned for the same character in Vikramaditya Motwane’s Black Warrant (2025), but he now believes missing out on it was for the best. “Some projects don’t happen and you should be thankful for that. Maybe I was meant to meet Rajjo. I trust that whatever is meant for me will come to me,” says the actor. Although Rajjo draws inspiration from Kuljeet Singh, alias Ranga, Yadav deliberately avoided digging too deeply into the criminal’s past. “The moment you start researching too much,...

Credit: Courtesy of Netflix You is the ultimate antihero confection—Joe Goldberg is a reprehensible, horrifying entity who deserves every punishment he gets, but it sure was fun watching him fixate on his various victims and pile up the body count.
