Viral: American vlogger melts hearts as Indian mom feeds him like her own child
Today, when everyone is engrossed in their daily chores and busy lifestyle because of their fast-paced schedules, it's rare to come across moments that instantly touch one's heart and remind them of home, love, and the value of genuine care. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now And sometimes moments like these become viral sensations online, not because they're flashy or sensational, but because they speak the universal language of love. That's exactly what happened when a vlogger shared a short, heartwarming video from his trip to India. The video doesn't have fancy transitions or drama. Instead, it shows something simple and deeply personal. A simple, touching video of an American vlogger being affectionately fed by an Indian mother has gone viral on Instagram, which has left social media users overwhelmed with love, nostalgia, and emotion. Dustin Cheverier, a content creator currently based in Vietnam, recently shared the overwhelming moment during his visit to India. In the clip, Dustin sits beside a woman, who seems to be his friend's mother, and lovingly mixes dal and rice with her hands before feeding him each bite. 'Mum is mixing my food for me, just to make sure I eat it right,' Dustin says with a warm smile in the video, while the mother continues to feed him, just like millions of Indian moms do for their own children every day. The caption of the video reads: 'Indian Mom Feeds Me Like A Baby.' The simple gesture has resonated well with viewers across cultures. In Indian tradition, being fed by a mother is more than just an act of nourishment; instead, it's a sign of care, warmth, and unconditional love. The video instantly evoked memories and emotions for many people who could relate to that experience. Social media reacts According to one Instagram user, 'You will eat more when mum feeds.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Another added, 'Only Indian mums can do this kind of thing.' Some responses were more emotional, as users remembered their own mothers, especially those who are no longer with them. 'Sometimes I miss my late mother, she used to feed me like this too,' wrote one viewer. Another touching comment read, 'She's not just feeding you. She's giving you all her warmth and care. You're truly blessed.' One of the most common feelings shared was nostalgia. The act of being hand-fed, especially by a mother figure, reminded many of their childhood and the love they often took for granted. One comment beautifully put forth this sentiment, saying,'The food always tastes better when it's fed with love.' Another user said, 'For Indian mothers, their children never grow up.' It's a simple truth that many people from Indian households will relate to. No matter how old you get, you'll always be a child in your mother's eyes. One user also commented in a Bollywood feeling, 'Wo hote hain qismat waale jinki maa hoti hai.' (Those are truly fortunate who have their mother with them.)

Pankaj Tripathi recalls waiting for a call at 8 pm every day at hostel. Criminal Justice actor opens up about romance, Bihar and marriage
In an era where love is often measured in DMs and delivered through Instagram stories, Pankaj Tripathi 's old-school romance feels like a breath of fresh air. Long before he became a household name with unforgettable roles in Gangs of Wasseypur , Criminal Justice , and Mirzapur, the acclaimed actor was just a young man waiting every evening by a hostel landline — hoping to hear his future wife's voice. It wasn't instant, flashy, or filtered. It was simple, patient, and built on the kind of trust that rarely makes headlines anymore. In a nostalgic chat with IANS, Tripathi opened up about those days, saying he didn't grow up with smartphones in hand. Instead, he recalled how, during his hostel days, he'd wait near the canteen phone booth for a call from Mridula — the woman he would eventually marry. He recalled how in those times, there was no ringtone or caller ID, so he would just sit in the canteen with his dinner plate and wait for his now-wife Mridula to call at 8 pm. Pankaj Tripathi on romance Recently, on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Tripathi spoke again about love — this time with his signature wit. Appearing alongside the cast of his upcoming film Metro… In Dino, the actor admitted that he's not the most romantic man. 'I don't know much about romance,' he said. He confessed that the only person he ever fell in love with was his wife, whom he married later. He also joked that being from Bihar meant that the "quota of romance" was very little. Pankaj Tripathi and Mridula's marriage Pankaj and Mridula's journey began at a wedding in 1993 when they were both in college. After over a decade of love and long-distance phone calls, they tied the knot in 2004. Two years later, they welcomed their daughter, Aashi, and moved to Mumbai, where Pankaj's acting career would slowly but surely blossom. Pankaj Tripathi's upcoming movie Now, as he gears up for the release of Metro… In Dino, a film that explores modern relationships, heartbreak, and connection. The movie hits cinemas on July 4, starring a powerhouse ensemble cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh, alongside Tripathi. Directed by Anurag Basu , the film promises to be a poignant take on urban love.
