When Every Tourist On Eiffel Tower Vibed To ‘Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein'
The video shows the group singing the legendary Hindi song Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein.
A group of Indian travellers transformed Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower into an impromptu Bollywood concert spot. Captivating passersby, they performed the classic Hindi song Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein, a romantic melody from the 1951 film Chori Chori, originally sung by legends Lata Mangeshkar and Manna Dey.
The beautifully shot video captures the trio singing in perfect harmony near the Eiffel Tower, with spectators, many of them tourists from around the world, enjoying the soulful performance. Some are seen clapping along and swaying to the tune. This enchanting blend of classic Indian music against the stunning Parisian backdrop created a magical atmosphere that resonated deeply with viewers.
The video's caption read, 'Every tourist enjoyed Indian song with us at the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France." It quickly went viral, earning praise for the group's spontaneous and heartwarming musical tribute.
Indian music has often bridged cultural and language divisions, with people across nations appreciating it. Weeks back, Deanna Leigh, a 23-year-old travel vlogger from the United Kingdom, posted a hilarious video on Instagram about how she unexpectedly fell in love with India's 'Swach Bharat" jingle. She said, 'I heard it all the time in Jodhpur. I thought it was just a fun song people sang every morning." Deanna had no idea that the catchy tune blaring from loudspeakers was a call to take out the trash. She said, 'I didn't know. I just thought it was a cheerful morning tune."
Sharing her opinion, Deanna wrote, 'My new favourite song in India! At one point, this was all I would hear in the mornings. I had no clue what it meant… but damn, what a banger!" In the video, a garbage truck is shown rolling down the street while playing charming music, leaving Deanna both amazed and fascinated. Prasoon Joshi wrote the song Swachh Bharat Ka Irada, which was sung by Kailash Kher.

Kaun Banega Crorepati Throwback: When late actor Dinesh Phadnis aka Fredericks tried to help CID team answer question worth Rs 6,40,000
Kaun Banega Crorepati has been one of the longest-running reality shows in India, enjoyed by all age groups. Hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan, the show has seen 16 successful seasons, and now the 17th season will be launched soon. Ahead of the release of the 17th season, let's revisit the time when CID actors Shivaji Satam, Dayanand Shetty and Aditya Srivastava graced the show as guests. During their presence, the CID team also sought help from their co-star and late actor Dinesh Phadnis aka Fredericks. When late actor Dinesh Phadnis tried to help CID team When Shivaji Satam aka ACP Pradyuman and Aditya Srivastava aka Abhijeet were sitting on the hot seat, Amitabh Bachchan asked them the 8th question worth Rs 6,40,000. The question was: According to the Indian epics, who among the following did not meet his death at the hands of another? A - Vidura B- Kumbhakarna C- Shravan Kumar D- Putana Correct Answer: Vidura As Satam and Srivastava were sceptical about the right answer, they decided to seek help from their friend and used a 'Phone a friend' lifeline and dialled Dinesh Phadnis aka Fredericks. Big B called Phadnis, but the latter assumed that Dayanand and Aditya were joking with him about being Amitabh Bachchan. The veteran actor informed Dinesh about ACP Pradyuman and Abhijeet being unable to answer the question. Dinesh had 30 seconds, and by the time Aditya explained the question, the time ended without Dinesh answering the question. Shivaji Satam and Aditya Srivastava reached the conclusion that option A- Vidura is the correct answer. The answer was right, and so the CID team won Rs 6,40,000. The episode ended with this question. Before Aditya joined Satam on the hot seat, Dayanand Shetty was seen sitting with the veteran actor and answering questions by Amitabh Bachchan. Like the CID team, several other celebrity guests were seen on the show playing the interesting quiz with Mr Bachchan. Speaking about the upcoming season, Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 is set to premiere from August 11 at 9 PM on Sony TV.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 5: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's film beats Aashiqui 2, crosses ₹150 crore worldwide
Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 5: Ever since Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Bollywood debut film Saiyaara released, fans and critics have been comparing the film with Aashiqui 2. Interestingly, Aashiqui 2 is helmed by Mohit Suri, who is the director of Saiyaara as well. As per the latest update, Saiyaara, the YRF-backed film, has now surpassed the lifetime earnings of Aashiqui 2 worldwide. According to the early estimates of industry tracker Sacnilk, Saiyaara earned ₹ 18.88 crore on day 5. While it shows a dip in earnings, it is too early to predict the business as these are live data from the website based on morning, afternoon and evening shows. The final figure will be out after the night shows. The show is also running late night shows owing to its demand. The total business made by Saiyaara so far is ₹ 126.13 crore in India. The film recently wrapped up its first weekend after massive business at the ticket window. Considering the weekdays, the film has held strong, maintaining steady footfalls in theatres. On Tuesday, Saiyaara saw about 46.39% occupancy. The occupancy was as follows: Delhi NCR and Mumbai continue to top the chart with highest number of shows and footfalls. Besides the metro cities, tier 2 and tier 3 cities such as Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow and Chandigarh, among others also registered strong revenue. Meanwhile, at the international box office, Saiyaara has surpassed the lifetime business of Suri's Aashiqui 2. Aashiqui 2 starred Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. On Monday, Saiyaara raked in ₹ 151 crore as its Worldwide Collection. While its India Net Collection was ₹ 107.25 crore, its Overseas Collection was ₹ 23 crore on the same day. On the other hand, its India Gross Collection was ₹ 128 crore on day 4. The Ahaan Panday film is currently the fifth Hindi film to hit the ₹ 150 crore mark in 2025. However, the business made by the highest-grosser of this year is still far from Saiyaara's reach. So far, Saiyaara has also surpassed the lifetime collection of two Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2 ( ₹ 144 crore), which released earlier this year. Recently, Shraddha Kapoor watched Saiyaara in theatres and wrote on Instagram, "Saiyaara se Aashiqui ho gayi hai mujhe (I've fallen in love with Saiyaara).' Thanking her, Ahaan wrote back: "Working under you on Rock On 2, being assigned to fix your piano, the serendipity of assisting on a rock music film, to getting to be a part of one… I remember you taking out the time to speak to me for a few seconds, and your words weighing heavy on me.'

An IIT Delhi graduate with an All India Rank of 6 in JEE and a successful stint in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Mittal was considered a prodigy. But in 2019, just nine years into his bureaucratic career, he stunned many by resigning from the coveted service. His reason? A lifelong devotion to Hindustani classical music Now, far from the bureaucratic corridors of Delhi, Mittal is often found on stage performing Khayal gayaki from the Agra Gharana , the very genre he fell in love with as a in Jalandhar in 1989 to IPS officer Jagdish Kumar and Sangeeta Mittal, music was part of Kashish's DNA. He began his formal training in Hindustani classical music at the tender age of eight. By eleven, he was already performing at Punjab's prestigious Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan.'My music journey began even before my IAS journey was imagined,' Mittal shared in a feature with Indian Masterminds. 'Even during my school and IIT years, I never let go of music—it was always there, a quiet force pulling me in.'His training later deepened under the guru-shishya parampara with maestro Pandit Yashpaul, from whom he imbibed the nuances of Agra Gharana's traditional Khayal gayaki. Recognised today as an 'A Grade' artiste by All India Radio and Doordarshan, and as an 'Established Artiste' by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), Mittal has performed at numerous festivals across by his IPS father, Mittal pursued civil services after completing in Computer Science from IIT Delhi.

He served as Additional Deputy Commissioner of Chandigarh, Deputy Commissioner of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, and later, as Additional Principal Secretary at NITI Aayog during his central deputation. But despite the accolades and authority, music remained his true anchor.'I tried balancing both,' he admitted, 'but classical music is not a side pursuit—it demands surrender.'In 2019, soon after a transfer to Arunachal Pradesh, Mittal formally stepped away from his bureaucratic post to fully embrace music. The news made waves, but his decision reflected clarity, not conflict. 'An art like this is an eternal journey. You need to give it the respect it deserves,' he followed was not just a revival of a musical career, but a renewed sense of purpose. From Sufi renditions to semi-classical performances, his soulful voice began resonating beyond traditional stages—on social media as Mittal broke the internet with a soul-stirring rendition of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan 's Unke Andaz-e-Karam. Seated casually on a sofa, surrounded by friends, his impromptu performance garnered nearly 3 million views on Instagram. The caption read: 'Woh bhi apne na hue, dil bhi gaya haathon se'—words that struck a chord with viewers as deeply as the song response was overwhelming. 'You, sir, are a gem,' one user commented. Another wrote, 'Even after IIT AIR 6 and IAS, you're still following your passion. Truly motivating.'Mittal's contributions have not gone unnoticed. He was conferred with the Punjab State Award for Art and Culture (2007), Saraswati Samman by IIT Delhi (2010), and the Naad Shri Samman (2018) for his excellence in Hindustani classical music. He also holds several national scholarships, including the prestigious NTSE and CCRT fellowships.
