Parineeti Chopra reveals she googled Raghav Chadha's age, height, and marital status after their first date; politician says, ‘Main ne mauke pe chauka maara'
Kapil recalled how the couple was spotted coming out of a cafe in Mumbai and quipped, 'We had thought that Parineeti was joining politics. Who would have thought you would be joining each other?' He later asked them about their first meeting. Parineeti said, 'We first met in London. We were getting an award from the British Council. He was getting an award for excellence in governance and politics, and I was getting one in entertainment. Both my younger brothers are huge fans of him and asked me to say hi to him. By chance, he was just sitting right behind me. When I went to tell him hi, I just casually told him we should meet sometime once back in Delhi, and he just invited me to breakfast the next day.'

Raghav added, 'Main ne mauke pe chauka maara.' Parineeti further said, 'I thought things were getting serious, so I took five people along with me. He also had two organizers with him, so we were around 12 to 15 people at that table. Later, he took my number and we started talking. Right from our first meeting, we spoke about getting married. He had fallen in love at first sight. And when I met him, I thought I would get married to him, till then I knew nothing about him.'
Later, Raghav went on to share what Parineeti did soon after their first date. He said, 'She often shares that after that meeting, she checked on Google what my age was and if I was married. She even googled what the duties of a Member of Parliament are.' Parineeti added, 'Another important question I googled was what was his height? Because I always liked tall men. He was taller than me, so I was like he was perfect. We did the roka in the next 3-4 months after that, and waited for the rains to get over to get married.'
Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha tied the knot in September 2023. As they approach their second wedding anniversary, Parineeti is rumored to be pregnant. Addressing the speculation on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Raghav said they would share the good news soon.

OpenAI, Google and Anthropic win US approval for civilian AI contracts
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills The US government's central purchasing arm is adding OpenAI , Alphabet's Google and Anthropic to a list of approved artificial intelligence vendors, opening the door to widespread adoption of the technology across civilian federal move by the General Services Administration, to be announced Tuesday, will speed up the adoption of AI tools in the federal government by making them available through its Multiple Award Schedule, a federal contracting platform with contract terms already set. Without that flexibility, agencies would ordinarily spend months negotiating their own terms for use of the officials said the models from the three companies — OpenAI's ChatGPT , Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude — were evaluated by several performance and security agency didn't immediately disclose the terms of the contracts. But it's used its buying power to negotiate deep discounts with software providers like Adobe Inc., Salesforce Inc. and leading-edge AI companies would also be considered for the marketplace. The first three vendors were simply further along in the procurement process, the officials said.'We're not in the position of picking winners or losers here. We want the maximum number of tools to provide to all federal government employees to make them as productive as possible,' said GSA Deputy Administrator Stephen Ehikian. 'There's going to be different tools for different use cases.'The move comes just days after President Donald Trump signed three executive orders aimed at reshaping the government's role in AI, including a mandate that federal agencies only procure language models 'free from ideological bias.'Enforcing the presidential ban on what Trump calls 'woke AI' would be an agency-by-agency process, according to the GSA.'But at the same time, this is a race, right? And as the president said, we're going to win this race,' said Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of GSA's Federal Acquisition the three companies to the multiple award schedule — which makes commercial IT products more readily available to agencies — means federal bureaucrats can begin using large language models that had previously been restricted to smaller pilot projects or national security use. The Pentagon has already awarded AI contracts to OpenAI and Elon Musk's xAI, which are separate from the GSA's announcements on agencies, including the Treasury Department and Office of Personnel Management, have already expressed interest in using the new platform, according to GSA officials. Under the previous presidential administration, federal agencies identified potential uses for AI such as processing patent applications, detecting tax fraud, reviewing grant submissions and copy-editing press of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor said he envisions using AI to develop customer service chatbots and to summarize tens of thousands of public comments on rulemaking — a process that previously bogged down changes to he said agencies will also have to hire savvy employees. 'We're probably missing people who are super conversant with very modern, AI-related stuff,' he said.'Clearly, we can't just throw things against the wall and see what sticks,' Kupor said.

Why (and when) does Mohammed Siraj love to do Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic SIUU celebration?
Mohammed Siraj sprinted across The Oval, jumped high, arms wide, chest puffed, and let out a roar. His Ronaldo-style Siuu! celebration echoed the drama of the moment—it wasn't just any dismissal. Siraj had just clean-bowled Gus Atkinson to win India one of the most thrilling Test matches in its history. A six-run win. India's narrowest ever. A moment of disbelief turned into delirium, punctuated by a celebration that fans can't get enough of. Mohammed Siraj and Cristinao Ronaldo with the iconic SIU celebration Siraj's celebration has become a cult favourite, but there's a method to when he does it. 'I only do the Cristiano Ronaldo celebration when I clean bowl someone—not for a catch or LBW,' he explained in the post-match conference. 'I do it because I like and admire him for his work ethic, the routine he follows, and the way he performs consistently. He always has a never-give-up attitude. Obviously, Ronaldo is the best—GOAT of all time,' he added. It's no surprise, then, that he saved it for Gus' wicket—his fifth of the innings, and the one that handed India a win in a game they had no business winning just hours earlier. England, chasing 374, were cruising at one point. But a flurry of wickets on Day 5, led by Siraj's fiery burst, saw them collapse for 367. Siraj finished with figures of 5 for 104, taking key scalps in the final session—clean-bowling Jamie Smith, Jamie Overton, and finally Gus with a searing yorker. What made the performance even more special was what Siraj revealed after the match. The night before, he'd searched for the word 'Believe' on Google, made it his phone wallpaper, and told himself he would change the game for India. He stuck to that promise. "I woke up early, went on Google and searched 'Believe wallpaper'. I found Ronaldo's image and made it my wallpaper. I told myself, 'I will do it today,'' Siraj said after the match. His final spell was filled with venom, and his energy never dipped—not even after long spells or close calls. The celebration was the emotional release of everything he'd built up inside. Social media lit up in the aftermath. Sachin Tendulkar called the team 'SUPERMEN from INDIA' and gave them a perfect 10. Fans flooded timelines with Siraj's celebration photos and videos, hailing him as a fighter. Former players called it one of the greatest Test comebacks ever. But perhaps the lasting image of the day isn't the scoreboard, the chaos, or even the final wicket. It's Siraj flying through the air in celebration—channelling Cristiano, fuelled by belief, and reminding the world that some wickets, and some wins, deserve something a little extra.
