Swedish content creator Karl Svanberg wins hearts with his love for Telugu cinema
In an inspiring cross-cultural journey from Sweden to South India, Karl Svanberg has emerged as a viral sensation by blending his passion for Telugu cinema with authentic and heartfelt content. With over one million followers on Instagram, Karl is now a beloved name among Telugu-speaking audiences across the globe.
What began as a light-hearted attempt to mimic famous Indian movie scenes soon evolved into a serious creative pursuit. Karl's emotional delivery, near-perfect Telugu pronunciation, and striking screen presence have made his videos stand out. His reels, echoing iconic moments from blockbusters like Magadheera, Pushpa, and Arjun Reddy, are praised not just for entertainment but for the respect and sincerity they reflect.
But behind Karl's rising fame is a strong and creatively gifted family. His wife, Ekaterina, supports his dream of becoming a full-time content creator, while his brother Ivan, a fashion designer, helps shape his visual style. His parents, Paula and Christer Svanberg—both painters—have clearly passed down an artistic legacy. Though Karl modestly calls himself a warehouse manager, his cinematic passion is anything but ordinary.
His latest portrait by photographer Daniel Engvall captures Karl as a man bridging two worlds—firmly rooted in Sweden, yet deeply connected to the rhythms and emotions of Indian storytelling.
Karl's story is more than just about viral fame; it's about cultural connection. His genuine admiration for Indian cinema, particularly Telugu films, and his efforts to learn the language and engage with the community have won him immense love. In a time when digital creators are abundant, Karl stands out as a rare artist whose heart and humility shine just as brightly as his content.
From reels to real impact, Karl Svanberg is not just going viral—he's becoming a cultural bridge between Sweden and South India.

Louis Tomlinson Ignites Harry Styles Rumours After Liking, Then Disliking A Fan Edit
Last Updated: Louis Tomlinson liked a fan-made reel featuring him with his former bandmate Harry Styles, which was set to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' romantic hit Die With A Smile. Singer Louis Tomlinson is once again making headlines, but not for his music. This time, the former One Direction member caught the attention of fans when he liked an Instagram post, only to reverse his action. On Sunday, June 29, Louis liked a fan-made reel featuring him with his former bandmate Harry Styles. The video was set to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' romantic hit Die With A Smile. In the clip, which probably featured an interview of Louis and Harry back when One Direction was still together, the 33-year-old English singer kept talking while Harry fondly stared at him. 'The way Harry looks at him" was written atop the video. Fans were quick to notice that Louis had liked it. But just a few hours later, the like was gone. Louis had disliked the video, which sent One Direction fans into a frenzy. Some people thought that he might have liked it by mistake. Another section felt it was a quiet way of showing the fans that he still watches such edits made by their ardent fans. Meanwhile, a few once again speculated about Louis' relationship with Harry. For years, One Direction fans have believed that the duo are more than just friends, giving them the nickname 'Larry." Even though both singers have moved on with their lives and careers, such rumours are far from being over. entertainment In 2024, Louis addressed the rumours that the two singers had secretly dated each other. Speaking to the Brazilian magazine, G1, the singer said that he had given up on denying the rumours, highlighting how people do not want to see the truth. 'I've realised this some years ago; there's nothing I can say or do to dispel the believers in that conspiracy," he said. He further shared that the speculations were intertwined with what people believed to be the truth, to such an extent that they would never see the truth. Talking about how such rumours can be a little irritating at times, Louis also referred to the infamous Babygate theories that emerged after the birth of his son, Freddie. 'At times when it gets far too personal, I have my son, Freddie. He's the most important person in my life. Occasionally, it kind of broaches some stuff that's really unfair," he said.

WATCH: Shreyas Iyer gets ‘clean bowled' by his mother while playing cricket in living room
With experts advocating for Shreyas Iyer's inclusion in India's ongoing Test series against England, the batter was seen having a relaxing time with his family in their home, playing cricket with his mother. In a video shared by Punjab Kings, Iyer's IPL franchise, the PBKS captain was facing deliveries from his mother in the living room with one delivery even breaching his defence. 'Only time SARPANCH won't mind getting bowled!,' Punjab Kings posted on X, sharing the video. His mother gleefully celebrated as she shouted 'out' with the video ending soon after. Shreyas and his parents share a pretty comfortable bond with his parents taking pride in narrating the pranks their children play on them to visitors. When The Indian Express visited their home once, the father spoke of how Shreyas was in the habit of fooling them on phone. He once faked an English accent to check if his father was traveling to the UK to watch his son play a county game. When his mother is in the kitchen, Shreyas's 'what's cooking' inquiry is unique: 'Aaj kya bigaad rahi ho (what meal are you spoiling today)'. But still Shreyas might be the only Indian cricketer who still gets dropped to the airport by both his parents. Only time SARPANCH won't mind getting bowled! 😂♥️ — Punjab Kings (@PunjabKingsIPL) June 30, 2025 Meanwhile, there were questions raised over Iyer's exclusion from India's extensive 18-member squad announced in May, and the situation sparked more questions about the 30-year-old's red-ball future at the international level. Iyer was in blistering form in the IPL, leading Punjab Kings to a runners-up finish with his best season with the bat, scoring 604 runs at a 50-plus average and a staggering 175.07 strike rate with 39 sixes. Iyer also had a productive Ranji Trophy season besides leading Mumbai to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win in December 2024. In nine First Class matches, including an Irani Cup triumph, Iyer aggregated 699 runs with two centuries and three fifties. However, that would not be enough to make a comeback to the Test squad for Iyer, who last represented India during the 2024 home series against England. Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar had reasoned that there was no room currently for Iyer in the scheme of things despite his solid form at the domestic level. 'Yes, Shreyas Iyer has played well in domestic cricket, but at the moment, there is no room for him on the Test Team,' he said while speaking to reporters in Mumbai when announcing the Test squad in late May.

English translation of Telugu bestseller ‘Amma's Diary' to release later this year
The novel, originally published in Telugu by Aju Publications — an imprint of Sapien Stories Pvt. Ltd. — quickly became a literary sensation selling nearly two lakh copies within its first year. New Delhi, Jun 30 (PTI) 'Amma's Diary', the English translation of the Telugu bestseller 'Amma Dairylo Konni Pageelu' by acclaimed author Ravi Mantri, will hit the stands later this year, announced publisher Penguin Random House India (PRHI)on Monday. 'From the hearts of the Telugu states to the hearts of the nation — Amma Diarylo Konni Pageelu, the cherished love story of Sarika and Ram, is coming to life in English! I hope you are ready to experience the magic, now in a language for everyone,' said Mantri in a statement. At its heart, 'Amma's Diary' is an elegy for unspoken lives. So, in a culture that often celebrates the youthful adventures of men, but draws a veil over the pasts of women, Mantri's novel asks: 'What if we dared to read the pages of our mothers' forgotten stories? What might we learn if we saw them not as the silent anchors of our homes, but as individuals shaped by desire, heartbreak, and the hope of second chances?' Through the quiet voice of Sarika, whose long-lost love story is rediscovered by the next generation, 'Amma's Diary' becomes a chronicle of time, memory, and the inherited weight of choices made and unmade. ''Amma's Diary' is a poignant and beautifully written narrative that captures the essence of human emotions, relationships, and experiences. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and the resilience of the human spirit. We are thrilled to share this remarkable work with our readers, and I welcome Ravi Mantri to Penguin Random House India,' said Milee Ashwarya, publisher at PRHI.
