Reflecting on Nevaan's early brush with fame, Sonu told HT that his son became a sensation back in 2012, thanks to his adorable rendition of Why This Kolaveri Di.
He also shared that while Nevaan did become a viral sensation early on, he and his wife were careful not to let fame disrupt their son's childhood. He explained that they avoided making a big deal out of it, choosing not to push Nevaan into the spotlight with appearances or new songs.

Instead, they focused on giving him a normal upbringing, filled with everyday experiences and genuine friendships—free from the pressures of public life.
The singer revealed that he wanted his son to grow up and study outside India, but not too far from home. While the family initially considered moving to the U.S. in 2009—since both parents held green cards and Nevaan was a U.S. citizen—they eventually dropped the idea due to the challenging commute between Los Angeles and Mumbai. Instead, they settled in Dubai, which offered both proximity to India and an international environment.
Sonu shared that Nevaan now has friends from countries like Brazil and Germany—an experience he himself never had as a child.

Vicky Kaushal celebrates 10 years of 'Masaan': 'So much to learn, so much to grow'
New Delhi, Vicky Kaushal on Thursday celebrated 10 years of "Masaan", the critically-acclaimed film by director Neeraj Ghaywan that marked the actor's debut in Hindi cinema. Vicky Kaushal celebrates 10 years of 'Masaan': 'So much to learn, so much to grow' The Varanasi-set drama, written by Varun Grover, became a critical success after it was released on July 24, 2015, with Kaushal receiving praise for his role as Deepak Kumar, a lower caste student who falls in love with his upper caste classmate. "It's been a decade! So much to learn, so much to grow... thank you for everything," the 37-year-old actor posted on Instagram alongside stills from the film. "Masaan', a colloquial word in Varanasi for cremation ground, had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival where it won two awards FIPRESCI award and the Promising Future prize in the Un Certain Regard section. The film weaved together two parallel stories that explore themes of love, loss, caste, guilt, and redemption. Since "Masaan", Kaushal has emerged as one of the top stars in Hindi cinema, receiving praise for his performances in films such as "Raman Raghav 2.0", "Raazi", "Sanju", "Uri: The Surgical Strike", "Sardar Udham" and most recently "Chhaava". In an interview with PTI ahead of the release of "Chhaava" in February, Kaushal said his journey in the industry so far has been nothing short of "surreal". 'Couldn't have imagined… It feels very surreal. It feels there is God who's blessing me and people's love has been so special. The kind of directors I got to work with in these ten years has been nothing short of a blessing. So, I truly feel supremely grateful,' Kaushal said. The actor, son of veteran stuntman Sham Kaushal, also revealed that during the shooting of "Masaan", they weren't even sure if the film would get a theatrical release. "We didn't know what's going to happen to the film. It was a small film made with very limited resources. It was a parallel cinema at that time. Now, the lines have blurred quite beautifully, but there was a clear demarcation between the two then. 'At that time, I was just trying to get opportunities to prove myself as an actor within the industry,' Kaushal said. Ghaywan, who recently returned to Cannes with his sophomore feature directorial "Homebound", shared behind-the-screen stills from the film. "10 years of 'Masaan'," he simply wrote. Grover wrote the story of "Masaan" as well as two songs, including "Tu Kisi Rail Si" and he posted a note on X to mark the film's 10th anniversary. "10 years to 'Masaan' today. A film that didn't succeed commercially and still permeated through the hearts of so many who interacted with it. Always grateful for the journey we took, the leap of faith we were allowed to make, and the love that keeps pouring in even after a decade. "Thanks to everyone on the crew - from every producer to actor to HOD to every lightman to the spotboys and camera attendants to the junior artistes - who gave it their all," he posted. Avinash Arun, the cinematographer of "Masaan" wrote on his Instagram Stories, "10 years of 'Masaan'. Thank you Neeraj and Varun for making us all part of this memorable experience." Also starring Richa Chadha, Shweta Tripathi, Sanjay Mishra and Pankaj Tripathi, the film was an Indo-French co-production, backed by Drishyam Films, Macassar Productions, Phantom Films, Sikhya Entertainment, Arte France Cinema and Pathe Productions.

Find the Spangram: Identify the Spangram, a key part of the puzzle that connects two opposite sides of the grid. It encapsulates the theme and may consist of two words. The Spangram will be highlighted in yellow once you've located it. Take advantage of hints: Pay attention to off-topic words for clues. For every three non-theme words you uncover, letters will be highlighted to give you a hint toward finding a theme word, without directly revealing it.
