Anupam Kher breaks down the ‘richness' of Kashmiri cuisine
Mumbai: Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 'Metro... In Dino', is lavishing praise on the cuisine of his homeland, Kashmir.
The actor recently spoke with IANS in the run-up to the film's release, and recollected the time when he introduced actor Vinay Pathak to the Kashmiri cuisine during the shooting of 'Khosla Ka Ghosla', an earlier story which was published by IANS.
Walking down the memory lane, Anupam shared how it all happened. He told IANS, 'I introduced Vinay to Kashmiri food, and he said, 'Kashmiri food is like this?' I said, 'Yes'. I introduced the cuisine to him, and I was very happy. Because he thought it must be something else. I read a lot about it recently that Vinay Pathak spoke about the incident. It was just somebody introducing me to Japanese food, a long time back'.
He further mentioned, 'The richness of Kashmiri food is that there is no tomato, no onion and no garlic in it. And yet it is the tastiest cuisine. But that way India is a very rich country in terms of food. After every 500 km, you get new food. Gujarati, Marathi and different kinds of thaalis'.
Earlier, Vinay had told IANS, 'I remember, Anupam introduced me to Kashmiri food for the first time. I am a vegetarian, so I thought, Kashmiri food is not for me. He told me, 'You're in for a treat. We will take you to a place'. And, he introduced me to a place in Delhi for Kashmiri cuisine. And, I fell in love with Kashmiri cuisine. We used to leave the game to give our shots. Sometimes we would play 20 questions. Anupam taught us 3-4 new games'.
Presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series presents, in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd., 'Metro In Dino' is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu.
The film is set to arrive in cinemas on July 4, 2025.

Japan's Princess Kako Flies Economy. Internet Can't Stop Praising Her Humility
Last Updated: Princess Kako of Japan is seen entering the flight alongside other officials who accompanied her for a visit to Brazil. Humility never goes unnoticed, and a viral clip of Princess Kako of Japan is a perfect example. The video shows the royal travelling on an economy flight, despite her imperial status and close ties to Emperor Naruhito, her uncle. According to reports, Princess Kako had visited four different locations prior to boarding and, visibly exhausted, was seen sleeping during the flight. The footage quickly drew praise online, with many applauding her down-to-earth nature. According to a report in the South China Morning Post, the princess was in Brazil to attend the public events on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Initially, in the clip, she is seen entering the flight alongside other officials who accompanied her for a visit to the South American nation. After the lights were turned off, she fell asleep against the window of the domestic flight – a moment that has captured the Internet's heart. 🇯🇵🇧🇷It has been on viral for #Japan 's Princess Kako of Akishino who made her official visit to #Brazil. The Princess was seen travelling in a commercial flight from São Paulo to Campo Grande. She was among her followers and other passengers in the flight.… — Royal World Thailand 🇹🇭 (@rwthofficial) June 18, 2025 Soon after the video gained momentum, social media users shared their reaction in the comments section, with one of them writing, 'She looked like a porcelain doll. It is completely understandable to feel tired with such a packed schedule." Another added, 'People love seeing her. The video shows how humble she is." While social media users had only praises for the princess who fell asleep soon after taking her seat, the Imperial Household Agency (IHA) expressed disappointment at the invasion of privacy. FYI, IHA is responsible for looking after royal affairs. Princess Kako stepped into the spotlight after her elder sister Princess Mako gave her royal title and left the imperial family in 2021 to marry her college sweetheart. After the latter relocated to New York, Kako took on a more public role, often travelling nationally and internationally to represent her royal household. Outside of her official role, she is admired for her grace and dedication. Japanese media often describe her as 'the hope of Japan." During one of her public addresses, she also candidly admitted to having a short temper, which she says is her biggest flaw.

Ali Fazal learns guitar for Metro…In Dino
Ali Fazal dedicated over a month to intensive guitar training for his role in Anurag Basu's 'Metro…In Dino.' Driven by a desire for authenticity, Ali aimed to portray a musician deeply connected to his instrument and the film's emotional narrative. Actor Ali Fazal has once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to his craft, this time for his upcoming role in Metro…In Dino , directed by Anurag Basu. To bring authenticity to his character—a musician deeply intertwined with the film's emotional core—Ali spent over a month learning to play the guitar under the guidance of a professional tutor. Though he briefly held a guitar in a cameo role in 3 Idiots , Ali wanted a more grounded portrayal for this project. 'Playing a musician is not just about pretending to strum. Sometimes, yes, it is. But sometimes it's all real,' he said. 'This character needed to feel like someone who truly lives through music. That's what I set out to achieve.' Ali's training focused not only on mastering chords but also on understanding the emotional connection between a musician and their instrument. 'Your fingers hurt, your patience is tested, but it's worth it. I didn't want to cheat the audience. I wanted every strum to feel honest,' he explained. Reflecting on Basu's layered storytelling, Ali emphasized the responsibility he felt toward the character. 'Music is a universal language—it expresses what words can't. I wanted that to come through on screen.'
