DJ Snake returns to India with a six-city tour: ‘Every time I come back, that connection runs so deep'

Hindustan Times3 days ago
Popular French EDM ariste DJ Snake is set to return to India this year for a massive six-city Sunburn Arena tour, marking his third time performing in the country. The Grammy-nominated artist, known for redefining global dance music, will begin the tour in Kolkata on September 26 and conclude in Delhi-NCR on October 5, 2025. DJ Snake will be performing in India for the third time.
The tour will travel through Hyderabad on September 27, Bengaluru on September 28, Pune on October 3, and Mumbai on October 4, before wrapping up in the national capital region. Tickets for the tour will go on sale starting July 26 exclusively on BookMyShow, with organisers promising an even bigger and more electrifying showcase than before.
DJ Snake, whose real name is William Grigahcine, has cultivated a deep and lasting relationship with Indian audiences. Known for sold-out shows and frenzied fan energy, his previous performances in India have become the stuff of legend — with roaring crowds singing along to every lyric and dancing with unmatched intensity.
Speaking about his return, DJ Snake said, 'The passion and the love in India — it all hits different. I still remember the energy during my last visit with thousands of voices singing every word back to me; it was pure madness! It's the way the crowd gives everything they've got. Every time I come back, that connection feels so deep. See you soon India!'
The announcement comes ahead of the release of his upcoming album Nomad, slated for a September launch. With a discography packed with global hits like Turn Down for What, Lean On, Let Me Love You and Taki Taki, DJ Snake has cemented his place as one of the most influential figures in modern music. His collaborations with artists such as Lil Jon, Selena Gomez, Cardi B, Justin Bieber and Major Lazer have turned him into a cultural phenomenon.
Earlier this year, the producer made headlines for selling over 100,000 tickets within minutes for his historic show at Stade de France, followed by a record-breaking afterparty at Accor Arena. His return to India, a country he often credits for its unmatched energy and passion, is expected to be nothing short of spectacular.

Kristin Scott Thomas opens up on grief and healing in emotional directorial debut My Mother's Wedding

Kristin Scott Thomas has stepped behind the camera for the first time with 'My Mother's Wedding', a deeply personal directorial debut that draws from the most profound corners of her own life. Speaking candidly about the film's emotional origins in a CBS interview, Thomas shared how the grief and loss she experienced as a child became the creative foundation for the project. 'When I was five, my father was killed, and my mother remarried. And tragically, he was killed five years later,' Thomas revealed. 'And I know that a lot of the time when I was a younger woman, I had this feeling of something missing, this piece of my puzzle missing having grown up with only one parent.' Both men had served as pilots in the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm and died in eerily similar training accidents, leaving young Kristin to process unimaginable loss. 'My blood is English, but my culture is French,' she said, reflecting on how her bicultural identity shaped her storytelling instincts. 'The memories of my dad were incomplete, fuzzy, like sketches I played out in my head.' Those fragmented images and the stories she began crafting as a child — simple tales of 'a mommy and a daddy and two children, just doing ordinary things, like going away on holiday and things like that' — would eventually grow into the script for 'My Mother's Wedding'. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, and Emily Beecham as three sisters grappling with the death of a father or stepfather, just as their mother prepares to marry again. The process of writing and directing her first film was anything but easy. 'I think it was Sydney Pollock – or it might have been Robert Redford, take your pick,' Thomas laughed. 'One of them said to me, 'You know, you have to be generous. Forget what you're trying to defend. Forget trying to hide. Be more generous.' And I'm not sure I really understood what he meant by that. He just planted a seed, and then I was able to kind of unzip a bit more.' My Mother's Wedding offers a poignant, quietly powerful look at what it means to lose, to remember, and to move forward — and marks a new chapter in Thomas' already celebrated career.

Trailer of Rajesh Tailang, Sheeba Chaddhas Bakaiti out now

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 27 (ANI): Actors Rajesh Tailang and Sheeba Chaddha are coming up with a family drama 'Bakaiti'. On Sunday, the makers unveiled the trailer of the show, garnering audience's attention. 'Bakaiti' centers on the quirky yet close-knit Kataria Parivaar. Naina (Tanya Sharma), 21, is ambitious and grounded, suddenly forced to share her world with her younger brother Bharat (Aditya Shukla)--a cricket-crazy, boundary-blind teen who thrives on mischief. Their daily squabbles unfold under the watchful eyes of their parents, Sanjay (Rajesh Tailang) and Sushma (Sheeba Chaddha), who juggle unspoken grief, mounting pressure, financial instability, and the daily grind of making ends meet. Sharing her experience, Sheeba Chaddha said, "Being part of Bakaiti felt like stepping into a world that's incredibly familiar yet rarely shown with such honesty. The Kataria family reflects the unsaid love, everyday struggles, and quiet strength that define so many Indian homes. Playing Sushma reminded me how laughter and love can thrive even in the chaos. I'm thrilled to bring this relatable story to life with such a heartfelt team." Rajesh Tailang also shared, "Bakaiti is a story that feels lived-in, like a memory from your own past. Sanjay reminded me of so many fathers--silent providers, emotional anchors, and sometimes accidental comedians. There's beauty in the everyday, and this series captures it with so much heart. I feel grateful to reunite with Sheeba ji and work with a team that values nuance, humour, and the tender messiness of family life." The series will be out on ZEE5 soon. (ANI)

Woman who grew up with monkeys shares her life experience, 'They talk to each other in a language…'

In a world filled with unimaginable childhood stories, Marina Chapman's account of survival stands apart for one reason– it's real. No fiction, no folklore. Just a girl, left alone in the Colombian rainforest at the age of four, who survived by observing and imitating a group of wild monkeys. Her story, now widely discussed after resurfacing in recent interviews, is not framed by drama or exaggeration. It's a stark and honest recollection of what it meant to grow up completely disconnected from human society– and how instinct, silence, and the company of animals helped her endure. Now in her later years, Marina is speaking more openly about her past, not to shock or entertain, but to share what survival looked like when her only teachers were capuchin monkeys. A childhood cut short by abduction Marina's early life in Colombia took a traumatic turn when she was abducted from her village around the age of four, according to a report by UNILAD. The reasons behind the kidnapping remain unclear, but she was eventually abandoned in dense forest territory– alone, frightened, and unsure of what to do next. With no one to call for help and no knowledge of the jungle, she found herself surrounded by a troop of monkeys. Slowly, they became her silent guides. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pensioners Can Buy These Electric Cars in Malaysia - See Prices Here! Electric Cars | Search Ads Search Now Undo Observing monkeys became her survival strategy In an interview with UNILAD, Marina explained that as the days passed in isolation, she realised that the only way to survive was by following the creatures around her. With no knowledge of edible plants or safe water sources, she began closely observing the monkeys' behaviour. "I didn't know what to eat except the water. And I noticed the monkeys used to eat things. They kept eating something, and I kept watching where they were getting this food, and it took me days to find out where they were getting the food," she told UNILAD. One monkey, she recalls, played an unexpected role in helping her find food by quietly stealing fruit from sleeping humans nearby. "Except one of them was a very good one. He used to go when some Indian people had fallen asleep, and they used to hear the sound of people falling asleep. And he went into their room, very quiet, and he got a lot of food out of these rooms with huge amounts of fruit. And it used to carry so much that he dropped it. And that was the first time I came out and found a banana or other things." This small moment would teach her how to find scattered food– and how to grab it fast. "And I pick it up quickly, but you better move quickly because if you don't, they take it away quickly. So I learned to eat as fast as I could, always." Adapting to the sounds of the forest Jungle life meant staying alert at all times. With no human interaction, Marina learned to understand the meaning behind different monkey sounds– many of which signalled food, threats, or movement. "I had to learn to recognise the sounds. The screechy one, you have to really be careful, you have to hide away. Many sounds mean something. The 'danger' one is the louder one, and then the whistle one is the 'food' one. And each sound means different things, but it took me a while to get used to it. I just learned from watching what they were doing every time I heard the sound." For Marina, these sounds became the difference between staying safe and getting hurt. There was no safety net, only observation and reaction. Found by hunters, but not freed According to the UNILAD report, at around age ten, after nearly six years in the forest, Marina was discovered by hunters. But rescue didn't mean relief. Instead, she was taken away and reportedly sold into a brothel. Her years of jungle survival were followed by fresh trauma in urban society. Eventually, she managed to escape and survive on the streets of Columbia for a period. Her journey from there continued through more difficulties, eventually leading to a new life. Her full story was first detailed in her book The Girl With No Name, published in 2013. Thumb image: Generated by Canva AI (only for representative purposes)
