Even being in lockdown, Salman Khan is probably one of the stars whoâs churning content. Earlier, Salman had released his own three songs, launched sanitizers and now, thereâs one more âdhamakaâ that he is planning for his fans. Bhai is spending most of the time in his farmhouse and has clearly invested time in some very random sorts of projects. To the delight of his fans, he is now planning to come up with a reality show that will track all the activities being done in his Panvel farmhouse.

According to a leading daily, a show titled House of Bhaijaanz is in the pipeline and will be based on Salman's life during the quarantine. The show will have Jacqueline Fernandez, Lulia Vantur, Waluscha DeSousa, and Salmanâs house help. The show will allegedly be aired on Colors TV and will be hosted by Waluscha DeSousa. The show is said to be produced by SK TV who also created the show Hum Tum Aur Quarantine, featuring comedian Bharti Singh.

Coronavirus is the biggest reality of our existence right now. As nature conspires to push human civilization to a corner, cooped-up within four-walls surrounded by its own greed and exploitative ways, nature and animal kingdom can breathe easy for the first time in decades.
However, while most of us are getting by pretty comfortably without having to worry about the next meal or keeping the roof over our heads intact, thousands of Indians who donât share a similar good fortune have been left to fend for themselves.
© BCCL
That includes everyone right from the kaamwali to the doodhwala, security guards to the newspaper-wala amongst others. These people have seen nothing more than apathy and insensitivity in the last two months, and spent every day under uncertainty, fearing if they will ever make it to a better tomorrow.
While governments say that a lot is being done for the weaker section of the society and arrangements have been put in place to alleviate their suffering, the ground reality seems to be very different.
© BCCL
So, one man has taken it upon himself to use his platform and reach out to help with the grievances of the underprivileged, and support them the best way he knows.
Bhuvan Bam recently came up with his latest episode of Titu Talks, which is meant to support a noble cause. The episode features the âLifelines of Societyâ and paints the real picture of the plight of the poor. But thatâs not all, Bhuvan has also announced that he is using this Titu Talks video as a fundraiser, wherein he will be using the proceeds from this video to provide financial aid to organisations that are doing legit on-ground work to help the poor.
In the video which has more than 11M views already, Bhuvan reaches out to a young couple who work as migrant workers in Delhi and are currently distressed over where the next meal for their kids will come from, or if they will even come out of this crisis alive.
Then, he gets in touch with two farmers who admit that the hopelessness of the situation has been made worse by authorities who donât give a sh*t about the farmersâ immediate needs and concerns amid the lockdown.
© YouTube
This is followed by milkmen and transgenders, who voice their disillusionment with humanity and the system, as people continue to turn their backs on them during these times of crisis, never once bothering to check on them.
So, when asked what motivated him to take matters into his own hand and step out, Bhuvan told MensXP, âMy main motive with this episode was to tell people that each one of us has some power in our hands. And with that power, we can go ahead and help those immediate people who work for us daily. Be it the doodhwala, sabziwala, akhbarwala, house-help or security guard, we can check on them and ask if they are doing okay.â
© YouTube
Bhuvan believes that if each one of us takes it upon ourselves to reach out to even a few people around us, we can make a huge difference to the lives of several people. While there are a number of ways to do good, Bhuvan believes that the least we can do is âshow empathy and we need to be compassionate.â
Bhuvan also talks about âkeeping them in our prayersâ apart from âgiving those who work for you a call at least once a week and understand what they are going through. If you can help them financially, you should do it. You can use a portion of your lunch or dinner to feed someone who might need it more. Thereâs a lot more you can do, but most importantly, you need to be aware of your privilege and understand that you are in a position to help others.â
© YouTube
Moreover, making a video to highlight the plight of the poor isnât the only thing Bhuvan is doing because he also plans to donate the proceeds from the video to help the impoverished who need our help right now. Talking about the same he added, âWe are currently looking around for organisations instead of reaching out to the most famous ones. We are looking for NGOs who are genuinely doing some noble work and will have a clearer idea in a day or two.â
Thatâs some good work Bhuvan, and we hope the video garners huge viewership and helps you raise good money to help our fellow countrymen.

Monkey menace isnât a new thing in India; however, it is the least of the things that people want to deal with right now. From snatching food items to anything that catches their fancy, monkeys are always curious about things with human beings. However, this time they ended up on the wrong side with their capers.
In a bizarre turn of events, on May 29, a troop of monkeys attacked a lab technician, who was carrying COVID-19 test samples of suspected COVID-19 patients, in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut.

According to a news report in Times Now, the monkeys snatched the samples of the suspected COVID-19 patients from the lab technician and ran away, which has only led to fear and panic among people.

â Pratik Wankhede (@NonPratik) May 29, 2020
The woes seem to only keep getting worse with every passing day, as when one thing gets dealt with, the other begins!
The report suggested that the samples belonged to patients on the Meerut Medical College premises.

Soon, one of the monkeys, who attacked the lab technician, was spotted atop a tree chewing the sample collection kits - making the situation only worse.
Parts of some kits, said the report, were spotted strewn on the ground under the tree. The video of the incident went viral on social media platforms.
Here, check it out:

â Megha Prasad (@MeghaSPrasad) May 29, 2020
However, on being questioned by the media, Meerut district magistrate Anil Dhingra said that he hasnât seen any such video but would initiate an inquiry into the matter.

TikTok has kept a lot of us busy amid the worldwide Coronavirus lockdown. While some of us are just watching hilarious videos on TikTok others are making content on the app and passing their time. Recently, a Punjabâs policemanâs TikTok video helped a missing man get reunited with his family. A Punjab Police Cop, Ajaib Singh shared a video of his conversation with R Venkateshwarlu on the video streaming platform in the month of March.
@goldypp99 ##virelvideos ##waheguru
⬠Jujharu Khalsa - Pamma Dumewal
The brainchild behind the video was to encourage people to help the needy but it also helped in re-uniting Mr. Venkateshwarlu with his family. He also had speech and hearing difficulties which made it even more difficult to find his family. He now met his family after two years! According to BBC, Mr. Venkateshwarlu ended up in Ludhiana in 2018 which is thousands of kilometers away from his home state, Telangana. After his video was shared by a constable, a friend spotted him and informed his family. The family later contacted the Punjab Police and then got in touch with the missing man. The video shows the police constable Ajaib Singh offering food to the old man under a flyover in Ludhiana. Mr. Venkateshwarlu was also filmed indicating that he cannot speak or hear while thanking the policeman.
Watch the video here-
@goldypp99 ##punjabpolice ##virelvideos ##ranglapunjab ##waheguru
⬠original sound - ਸਮਰੱਥ ਰੰਧਾਵਾ
The video currently has around 12.4 million views on the video. The Punjab cop also shared another video of the same man on TikTok.
Checkout the video here-

His son told the BBC, "I burst into tears when I first saw him.â He also explained that his father, who was a laborer, boarded a truck to another village in order to find work and he fell asleep on the journey and was left on the road by the truck driver. And later, he took a lift by a truck driver and ended up in Ludhiana. His family took special permission amid lockdown to reach him and get him back home.

Like many Bollywood actors, Shahid Kapoor isnât a stranger to the world of fast, luxurious and exclusive cars. The 39-year-old performer owns several European brands from Jaguar to Mercedes-Benz and Range Rover, although after a 10-year long tryst with his 2010 Vogue S, the car is finally on the market for grabs.
In this video by Fahad Munshi of Lucky Motors in Santacruz, Mumbai, weâre shown a thorough walkaround of the vehicle on sale, alongside a Hummer H3.
In 2009, Land Rover offered only two engine options in the Range Rover in India. This Vogue S variant came powered by the highly acclaimed LR-TDV8 diesel engine that generates a maximum power of 271 Bhp. The British SUV was, at its time, one of the most sought-after luxury 4x4 vehicles in the world.
© Range Rover
This was true, especially in India. Shahid Kapoor was the first person to get the delivery of the 2010 Land Rover Range Rover in the country, which is why he received the keys at a special event from none other than Ratan Tata, who acquired the brand (along with Jaguar) from Ford Motors in 2008.
© BCCL
The car also carries a â700â VIP registration number on the plate, and it seems like Shahid has customised the SUV with an all-black theme, rounded off with blacked-out headlamps.
© Youtube/Lucky Motors
While some may think that the asking price of Rs 40 lakh is unreasonable for a ten-year-old vehicle, Shahidâs Range Rover has just barely 37,000 kilometres on it, which is very reasonable for a car of this age.

Add to that the VIP plates, impeccable condition and of course, bragging rights and youâve got a pretty unique car on your hands.

10-year-old Lyza Brooks Mosie from Georgia, United States has become a fitness sensation all over the world because of her dedication towards becoming the best gymnast that she can.
According to Lad Bible, the young athlete got in touch with gymnastics at the tender age of four and completely âfell in loveâ with it.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@lyzabrooks)
Now, not only does she want to master her craft but is also training like an absolute beast to meet her goals. Lyzaâs mother Jill Mosier opened up about her work ethic and it is nothing short of inspirational.
"She stays on top of her game by getting up at 5.30 am to train - we have set up all sorts of gymnastics stations in our storage room where she would go for hours to workout,â she says.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@lyzabrooks)
According to her mom, Lyza trains five days a week for over 30 hours and is willing to do whatever it takes to make herself better, and the best part is that she enjoys it.
"She fell in love with working out when she started coming to my fitness classes last summer and she has drastically improved in such a short amount of time.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@lyzabrooks)
"She aims to be the best gymnast she can possibly be, nothing will get in her way."
Having said that, many have criticised the family for putting too much pressure on Lyza, who, at the end of the day, is just a 10-year-old, but thatâs the beauty of the apprentice, she is self-motivated and nobody asks her to spend so much time at the gym. She is does it on her own.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@lyzabrooks)"She loves hearing that she inspires others, however, we also get the occasional mean person as well who say we shouldn't make her train so much,â Jill adds. "But I assure you, we have nothing to do with this - I have four kids and Lyza begs to workout.
Going through the young starâs YouTube channel, her dedication towards getting fitter by the day can be seen and is 100% genuine.
Her posture while working out, the patience with which she holds her positions and the enthusiasm with which she continues to get back to the gym every single day are just a few characteristics most of us have failed to imbibe even today and can take a lesson or two from Lyzaâs book.
Confident and in full support of her daughterâs dream, Jill also said: "I am so proud of her and I can't wait for her to achieve her dreams and become an elite gymnast."

Salman Khan.
Tiger Shroff.
John Abraham.
What do you think is common between them besides being great actors and good looks?
T-shirts.
In a quick Google search, you can see how they sport their t-shirt styles.
With the warmer months and summer season approaching, you might be looking at attractive t-shirts to add to your wardrobe.
Today, we're going to review Henley T-shirts that are known for not just its vibe but also for their quality. Here are 5 reasons why every man needs a Henley t-shirt in his wardrobe:
For Comfy & Stylish Work From HomeWith the frequent video calls during working from home, we are sure by now even your boss knows how many at-home T-shirts you own.
Donât wear the same white tee or that crumpled shirt for the nth time on your work video call, go for a smart and zoom-call friendly - Henley T-shirt instead.
With Henley T-shirts, you donât have to change into a tee as soon as the call ends or worry about slipping into something formal if you have to jump onto another call. They are comfortable enough to keep you at ease all day and stylish enough to keep you focussed at work.
istock
__ECOMPRODUCT__340__
Lightweight, Cotton, Comfortable!Henleys are usually made of cotton and are very lightweight which makes them a perfect choice for summers, whether you are dealing with a sunny day running errands, lazing around on weekends, or even working out at home.
And donât worry about feeling hot even if you are going for the long sleeve Henleys, they are equally comfortable and versatile and give the right kind of comfort in a controlled environment like home and keep you covered if youâre making a quick grocery run.
istock
__ECOMPRODUCT__351__
The Perfect Foundation Of A Great LookWhen we say you canât go wrong with a Henley T-shirt, we mean it. You can team Henleys with jeans, chinos, shorts, joggers, even boxers; basically everything and anything. And not only do the right kind of bottoms extend the stylish look but during winters, teaming them up with a jacket or a blazer sets the right tone for an evening to remember and gram about.
istock
__ECOMPRODUCT__341__
Let The Accessories Take CenterstageWe think folded sleeves have their own charm. They can make any man look effortlessly stylish while feeling comfortable.
And if you are wearing your favorite watch or beaded bracelets, there are fewer ways better than to highlight them with a long-sleeved Henley T-shirt. So, next time you want to flaunt your party watch, go for a long-sleeve Henley that will keep your overall style in check.
istock
__ECOMPRODUCT__352__
Pair Them With Anything From Your ShoedrobeHenley T-shirts are also versatile when it comes to a choice of footwear. Sneakers, espadrilles, mules, flats, and sandals, basically all casual shoes are Henley-compatible. Even formal shoes like loafers, monk straps, brogues go really well and can give an elegant upgrade to your look.
istock
__ECOMPRODUCT__339__
ConclusionSo, whether you are looking for a laidback, after-work look, or something to slip-into that can take you from dawn to dusk, henley t-shirts can be your new trusted companions.

We know that Mahindra makes some of the finest civilian SUVs in India. We also know, that when it comes to the vehicles that they make for the defence sector, they are vehicles that are simply out of this world.
With the world seemingly coming to an end, and a lot of people believing that the end is actually upon us, a lot of people would love to get their hands on the new Mahindra ASLV.
© Mahindra & Mahindra
One might assume that the ASLV is a buffed up, the Indian version of the military spec Hummer H1 that many forces are using around the world. Someone, like this guy.
Its looks like a "DESI COPY" of HUMMER . pic.twitter.com/tYNcZbt9Oi
â Rajat (@techyrajat) May 29, 2020
Well, the ASLV is much more than that. For starters, it is way better equipped than the Hummer and is actually capable of protecting the occupants when something larger than a bullet hits it.
© Mahindra & Mahindra
This is what Anand Mahindra had to say about the ASLV, and we kinda agree.
Our defence team believes M&M translates to âMean Machine.â This is one of their meaner ones... https://t.co/yZpbQHmpqS
â anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) May 29, 2020
Here are 5 things that make the ASLV truly a beast of a car, and one mean machine
Highest Level of Ballistic ProtectionFirst things first. The ASLV comes certified with the highest level of Ballistic protection, at B7, meaning that it can easily withstand high-velocity, armour piercing rounds, even from a close distance.
Ability to withstand grenadesOther than protection from high velocity ballistics, the ASLV also complies with STANAG II levels of blast protection, meaning that it can easily withstand the most common hand grenades, land mines, and small artillery.
Insane Performance Figures © Mahindra & Mahindra
A car that has such a high level of armouring and protection is obviously very heavy. Despite the bulk, the ASLV can easily hit a top speed of 120 kmph, and can go 0-60 in under 12 seconds, at full load, thanks to the 3.2 litre, 6 cylinder engine which produces 215 bhp & 500 Nm of torque. The power is fed to all four wheels. This essentially means that no matter what the surface or what the situation, you will be able to put the hammer down, at the drop of a hat.
Insane Load Bearing Capabilities © Mahindra & Mahindra
The ASLVâs performance seems even more impressive when you take a look at its load-bearing capabilities. Even though it will only seat 4 adults, it can carry 1000 kgs as its payload. Imagine all the essential supplies that soldiers will be able to carry, in each of unit of the ASLV.
A Modular Architecture © Mahindra & Mahindra
Finally, there is the architecture or rather the manner in which the car is built. Because it has a very modular structure, repairing the ASLV on the go will be a breeze, and will take a lot less time. Furthermore, regiments and units can spec the car out in whatever way the feel like, meaning, they can attach machine guns, small artillery, grenade launchers and what not.
Honestly, with one of this in our garage, and one of these bunkers, we feel we can take on anything that the apocalypse has to throw at us.

India is a big fan of superhero movies and we have only seen men playing the part mostly. It will be interesting to see a woman finally becoming a superhero in Bollywood movies. According to the recent reports, Katrina Kaif has signed a movie with Ali Abbas Zafar for which she will start shooting post the lockdown and she will be seen playing the role of superwoman. Ali Abbas Zafar said that recently, he locked that script and it will go on the floors once the lockdown ends.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@katrinakaif)
The director told Mumbai Mirror that he has completed the first draft of another movie too, and said that hopefully, the script for that movie too will be ready soon. He further said, "Thereâs a lot of prep required because of the kind of action involved and I am in touch with an international team over video calls. Iâm also doing script readings with my actors and chatting with the production designer. There is a lot happening."
People on social media have already started to form their opinions. While some are excited to see her in this avatar, some have declared it a flop.

Whenever Kaun Banega Crorepati aired on the TV, we all sat in front of our television boxes as if we are the contestants sitting on the hot seat. Well, there are times that I have imagined myself sitting on that seat and winning lakhs back home. In my case, it was surely day-dreaming but there are some junior KBC contestants who took back money and are now also doing well in careers. If you remember, the popular show came out with a special format for children - KBC Junior - in 2001. So, today, we are sharing an inspiring journey of Ravi Mohan Saini who was 14 back then and had answered all the 15 questions to victory. He won Rs 1 crore and became a household name as all the parents wanted their kids to follow the same route of being this well-learned. The fate is such that nineteen years later, this KBC winner is now an IPS officer. Yes, you heard it right.
© Sony TV
On Tuesday, Saini (now 33 years old) took charge as the Superintendent of Police, Porbandar. Sharing his story, he told The Indian Express in a recent interview, âAfter my schooling, I did my MBBS from Mahatma Gandhi Medical College in Jaipur. I was doing my internship after MBBS when I cleared UPSC. My father was in the navy and I joined the police force after being inspired by him.â Talking about his new role, he said, âMy role would be the implementation of lockdown in Porbandar in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. Also, the law and order situation remains our topmost priority.â
© Google
This surely is a big achievement. Who would have imagined that a Junior KBC winner would do this big in life. In 2017, Ravi had given an interview to TOI wherein he said, âAt the end of it, I was the winner of Rs 1 crore. However, I got Rs 69 lakh after the deduction of taxes, four years later.â It was in 2014 that he was selected for the IPS with the all-India rank of 461. His journey does inspire us to keep working hard until we make it.

The on-going COVID-19 pandemic has literally changed the way we work. Working from home or working from other remote locations have become the new normal. We're living in a very weird world where in-house meetings have turned into boring face-less Zoom calls.
Since nobody knows when it'll be completely safe to get back to work, we wonder what the next frontier of remote working will be? Well, Facebook thinks the answer lies in VR.
Facebook has outlined its vision for remote working with the help of some of its products. This vision for the "future of work and the next computing platform," details how the company is going to leverage its Workplace, Portal, and Oculus to support remote work.
The most eye-catching development, however, has got to be the "mixed reality workspace concept." There's an 8-second video showing what working in the mixed reality world would look like.

You can also see the person typing something on the keyword and the words appear on the web app in AR/VR. The video then ends with the user exiting the mixed reality world revealing nothing but a single monitor deskspace. That's just fascinating.
According to a Facebook spokesperson who spoke to the folks over at Input , it's indeed real footage. "This is real footage running on a prototype. We're always experimenting with future concepts using different hardware configurations as part of our proof-of-experience process," the spokesperson said.
That being said, we still don't see ourselves working in an AR/VR workspace, at least in the near future. But given the current conditions, we won't be surprised to see more development in this space.

As muslims around the world gather together to celebrate Eid-al-Fitr this weekend, it isnât quite the same for many families, who could celebrate by going out together and visiting their local mosques. Fortunately, a group of Sikh volunteers have stepped up to help support their muslim neighbours by carrying out a coordinating sanitisation effort across Delhiâs Jama Masjid.

Over 360 years old, the masjid was built by Shah Jahan and during pre-COVID times, saw a massive influx of tourists, pilgrims and local believers in Islam - holding upto 25,000 people at a time during massive religious observances such as Eid.

The religious site is of great holy significance to Muslims and even houses a collection of relics of Muhammad â the Quran written on deerskin, a red beard-hair of the prophet, his sandals and his footprints embedded in a marble block.
Several users on social media shared the good work undertaken by the Sikh community, and their appreciation for a selfless cause that looked past religious differences.
We dont need to remind ourselves of humanity which is India's hallmark and reason for our secular existence since centuries. Eid Mubarak to every one from all of us

Others appreciated the work done by the community, but noted the lack of female representation in the volunteer body.

In a similar vein, the Hindu Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine in Katra, near the city of Jammu has been serving sehri and iftar to around 500 quarantined Muslims. During tough times, itâs this kind of goodwill and communal harmony that keeps society going.

One of the most unprecedented things that has happened during the lockdown has been the return of the â90s. From games like ludo to TV shows, nostalgia has made this lockdown rather comfortable for privileged people like you and I. And you canât talk about nostalgia without naming one of the biggest shows of, now our adulthood, too - Ramayan.
Amidst news of breaking records and then raining on our parade, thereâs no denying that Ramayan is one of the few shows that has given us something to look forward to in the lockdown. However, speaking to IANS, Prasar Bharati CEO Shashi Shekhar Vempati remembered how his WhatsApp groups were buzzing with laughter when DD had announced the broadcast of nostalgia shows including Ramayan, soon after PM Modi ordered the first lockdown.
WORLD RECORD!!
Rebroadcast of #Ramayana on #Doordarshan smashes viewership records worldwide, the show becomes most watched entertainment show in the world with 7.7 crore viewers on 16th of April pic.twitter.com/hCVSggyqIE

"They're all, like, laughing. Who's going to watch it? I had to tell them that, you know, India is very different. It's not just the English speaking elite, it's much bigger, much more diverse. So there was that worry," Vempati told IANS during an interview.
Needless to say, after the re-runs of the Hindu Epic started, Doordarshan soared past in rankings for top Indian channels, amassing millions of viewers over the course. However, it wasnât easy to piece the show together and required immense effort from the team.

"The tapes were in the deep archive of the (Ramanand) Sagar family, and in Mumbai it was like operating in curfew. Someone had to physically retrieve these things. The formats had changed. People had to work through the night to figure out how to get it into a compatible format, and then push it from Bombay. Because the file sizes are so large, you can''t do it over the internet, it would have taken forever. So we had a satellite-based mechanism by which the content was beamed from Bombay and downloaded into servers here, so that the next day''s episodes could be aired," said Vempati.
"The combination of lockdown and Ramayan," he said, "showed us that families can still come together around television if the content is wholesome and appeals to every segment. Nostalgia was always a trend for Doordarshan. While we leverage nostalgia, we can't rely on that alone"
Speaking about the way ahead for the channel, Vempati is actively pursuing organisational collaborations with academia and startups to transform Indiaâs public broadcaster for the digital age. Prasar Bharati is working with IIT Kanpur, around research collaboration on direct-to-mobile broadcasting.
"We have asked IIT-Kanpur to create that enabling environment, create the test-bed to bring in startups. And then let's see what we can do in this whole ecosystem. So that effort is on," he added.
