Watch the video here:Finally happened. Got stopped on the street in New York. pic.twitter.com/5uO3Owgr4I— Vir Das (@thevirdas) July 21, 2025Talking about his day, he says, "I do Poha work in the morning and stand-up at night. Sometimes, if I'm hungry, I do Poha at night too. I think Americans are ready for Poha."When asked for advice, Vir hilariously says, "Don't do anything on an empty stomach. To be a good comedian, your brain should work, and for that, you need carbs - like Poha. And always put yourself into your art. Feed your art like you're feeding your family."He ends the video by saying in Hindi, "Isko pata nahi hai Poha kya hai, please Poha khao and mera samaan dekhlo. (He doesn't even know what Poha is, please eat Poha and check out my work.)"Fans loved the video. One wrote, "Nice reel buddy, innovative script," while another said, "Guy promoted Poha better than all of Pune!"
Vir Das, known for films like 'Delhi Belly', 'Go Goa Gone', and 'Namastey London', is back with his unique brand of comedy. His stand-up special 'Fool Volume' is currently streaming on Netflix.- EndsTrending Reel

Suriya Turns 50: Karuppu Actor's Net Worth, Top Movies And Upcoming Projects
Last Updated: Suriya turns 50 today, on July 23, 2025. From Nerukku Ner to Karuppu, explore his top films, inspiring journey, net worth, and upcoming blockbusters in this special tribute. Happy Birthday Suriya: Suriya is all set to celebrate his 50th birthday on July 23. His career is defined by talent, hard work and creative evolution. From modest beginnings to becoming one of Indian cinema's most versatile and celebrated actors, Suriya has built a legacy that continues to inspire fans across generations. Suriya, born Saravanan Sivakumar, entered the film industry in the late 1990s. His debut happened under unexpected circumstances—when actor Ajith Kumar stepped away from the film Nerukku Ner, Suriya stepped in. As the son of veteran actor Sivakumar, Suriya faced both expectations and scepticism early on. Unlike many star kids, his rise wasn't meteoric. He began with smaller roles and slowly won audiences over through commitment and compelling performances. Over the years, his name became synonymous with sincerity and range. Whether playing intense action roles, emotionally layered characters, or socially relevant parts, Suriya has continuously pushed himself as an actor, never hesitating to step out of his comfort zone. Happy Birthday Suriya: Actor's Net Worth Suriya's success isn't limited to the silver screen. His net worth is estimated at more than Rs 350 crore. He owns plush residences in Chennai and Mumbai, as well as a fleet of luxury cars. He is also the founder of 2D Entertainment, a production house that has backed several acclaimed films, including Soorarai Pottru and Jai Bhim. His role as a producer has allowed him to support meaningful cinema while expanding his footprint in the industry. As his company continues to grow, Suriya's financial and creative influence is expected to rise even further. Over the decades, Suriya has delivered numerous unforgettable performances that span across genres: Soorarai Pottru: A gripping biographical drama inspired by Captain G.R. Gopinath, where Suriya plays Maara, a visionary who dreams of making air travel affordable for everyone. Jai Bhim: A powerful legal drama highlighting the harsh realities of caste discrimination, where Suriya plays an advocate fighting for the rights of an oppressed tribal woman. Ghajini: A psychological thriller where he portrays a man with short-term memory loss out to avenge his lover's death. 24: A sci-fi action film in which Suriya brilliantly handles three distinct roles, including a time-travelling scientist and his villainous twin. Pithamagan: In this critically acclaimed film, Suriya brings emotional depth to the life of a man introducing warmth into an orphan's emotionally barren world. Singam series: A blockbuster cop saga that cemented Suriya's mass appeal, where he plays the courageous and principled Durai Singam. Suriya's Upcoming Films As Suriya celebrates his 50th birthday, fans are in for a double treat. The teaser of his much-awaited film Karuppu is set to drop, sparking major excitement among cinema lovers. Directed by RJ Balaji, the film is expected to deliver a compelling mix of social relevance and entertainment—hallmarks of the filmmaker's storytelling style. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Suriya Sivakumar (@actorsuriya) Meanwhile, another big project, Suriya 46, officially began filming on May 19 with a traditional pooja ceremony in Hyderabad. Directed by Venky Atluri, known for his sleek and emotionally resonant narratives, the film will feature music by acclaimed composer G.V. Prakash Kumar, promising a fresh cinematic experience for fans. From humble beginnings to becoming a national icon, Suriya's journey has been one of relentless passion, humility and evolution. As he steps into his 50s, he remains at the top of his game—balancing commercial success with meaningful cinema. Whether as an actor, producer, philanthropist, or public voice, Suriya continues to redefine what it means to be a true star.

Elvish Yadav has come out in support of Divyanka Tripathi after she failed to recognise him on Laughter Chefs. Recently, the YouTuber took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle and questioned trolls for attacking Divyanka.

The moment saw her shaking hands with Elvish and saying, 'Hi Samarth," which left Aly Goni, Krushna Abhishek, and others laughing. Realising her mistake, Divyanka immediately apologised and even joked that the part should be edited out to avoid trolling by Elvish's fans. Unfortunately, her prediction came true.

Therefore, on Tuesday, Divyanka commented under one of her posts, calling out the hate, while also thanking genuine fans. 'I want to thank genuine Elvish fans for being nice. True fans, first keep their idol's respect in mind. Double thanks to the trollers for increasing my engagement (sic)," she wrote. 'My inner systumm automatically bounces back your foul language to you and your family. Karma! Those being nice shall always be blessed…says my core divinity! (sic)," the actress added. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
