Ahan ne kabhi bhi Parle G chai ke saath nhi piya hai (It's raining here in Pune, and we are going to have Parle-G with tea. Ahan has never had Parle-G with tea),' leaving Ahan gushing. Varun then dips the biscuit in Ahan's cup and asks for an honest review. On the other hand, Suniel Shetty's son, who looked quite pleased with Varun's gesture, asked, 'You're feeding me?' Ahan also calls it 'Parle G Vigility', to which Varun adds, 'And we are not even paid for this.' Adding to the playful banter, Ahan mentions, 'No, no, but we should,' and Varun then quickly quips, "But we are not."

Meet Sabih Khan, UP man from Moradabad who is the new Chief Operating Officer of Apple, CEO Tim Cook says, He's a brilliant...' Apple has named Sabih Khan, an executive of Indian origin who has worked at the company for nearly 30 years, as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). He will take over from Jeff Williams, who has held the role since 2015. This change is part of a planned leadership shift, and Khan will officially begin his new role later this month. Khan is currently Apple's Senior Vice President of Operations and has played a major role in building and managing Apple's supply chain. Over the years, he has helped bring in new ways of manufacturing, expanded Apple's production in the U.S., and kept things running smoothly even during global challenges. Apple CEO Tim Cook praised Khan, calling him a smart and thoughtful leader who has helped shape how Apple builds its products. 'He's been key in making sure Apple can respond quickly when the world changes,' Cook said. Jeff Williams, who will continue working at Apple until his retirement later this year, also praised Khan. 'I've worked with Sabih for 27 years,' Williams said. 'He's the best operations leader I know.' Once Williams retires, Apple's design team will report directly to CEO Tim Cook. Who is Sabih Khan? Sabih Khan is now Apple's new Chief Operating Officer. He was born in 1966 in Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh. During his school years, he moved to Singapore, and later went to the United States for higher studies. He studied both economics and mechanical engineering at Tufts University, and then earned a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Sabih started his career at GE Plastics, and joined Apple in 1995 as part of the procurement team, the group that helps the company buy the parts it needs to build its products. Over the years, he became one of the main people behind Apple's global supply chain, helping make sure that Apple products are made and delivered efficiently and responsibly. Sabih Khan is fond of Hindi songs and one of his relatives says he loves Parle-G biscuits, as reported by Aaj Tak. His promotion comes at a time when Apple is focusing more on India not just as a big market to sell products, but also as an important place to make them.

From Kunafa to lazy cakes: The chocolate trends that broke the internet
Chocolates can instantly uplift the mood, and even studies back this fact. Therefore, when we see chocolate reels on Instagram, it triggers nostalgia and a sense of comfort. So this doesn't come as a surprise when chocolate reels crosses millions of views in no time. On World Chocolate Day, we elaborate on the trends that picked up and flooded the internet, gradually leading to new interpretations and innovations. The craze for Kunafa chocolates was such that it lead to the shortage of pischatios across the globe and a rise in prices. 1. Kunafa Chocolate Bars The 'Dubai-style' pistachio kunafa chocolate reel reached tens of millions of views on social media. The craze was such that it lead to the shortage of pischatios across the globe and a rise in prices. It generated a wave of copycats and inspired global launches, including a viral bar in New Orleans. In India, several chocolatiers and bakeries have also introduced their own interpretations of the Kunafa chocolate bar, adapting the concept to local tastes and ingredients —from rose syrup infusions to saffron-dusted toppings. 2. Lazy Cake Once a humble no-bake treat, no‑bake lazy cake shot to fame with reels racking up 5–10 million views each. Its appeal lies in the simplicity—just biscuits, cocoa, and condensed milk folded into a fudgy block and chilled. The hashtag #lazycake has trended globally, with influencers showcasing quick-prep versions and gourmet upgrades. In India, it's been spotted at boutique bakeries as a 'retro dessert revival,' often spiked with local ingredients like filter coffee or Parle-G chunks for added nostalgia. 3. Hot Chocolate Bombs These spherical delights—solid chocolate shells filled with cocoa mix, marshmallows, or sprinkles—continue to captivate foodies. Reels showing hot milk being poured over them to create a dramatic explosion routinely hit 2–5 million views. What began as a winter treat has now become a year-round gifting favourite. Artisanal chocolatiers in India have added a twist with regional flavours like masala chai, paan, or gulkand-stuffed hot chocolate bombs, making them a festive and viral sensation every season. 4. Ruby Chocolate With its natural pink hue and berry-like tang, Ruby chocolate took over the internet shortly after its global debut. It sparked more than 120 million Google searches and thousands of reels showcasing its vibrant colour and versatility—from ruby-coated truffles to Instagram-worthy ruby mousse bars. On Instagram alone, #ruby has 4.1 million posts, and #rubychocolate trends regularly. In India, it's finding its place in luxury dessert menus and DIY chocolate kits, appealing especially to Gen Z and millennial audiences obsessed with aesthetic and novelty. Chocolatiers' take on the trends Varun Inamdar, chocolatier and culinary expert The speed, scale and virality of these trends is a testament to how powerful visual storytelling and digital platforms are in shaping food trends today: good, bad, ugly all debatable in the same heartening to see a regional dessert being reimagined in creative ways, from cheesecakes to ice creams, while still honoring its roots. Mahek Sugandh, founder and head chocolatier at Cacao Springs and The Binge Ruby chocolate, chocolate bombs, and lazy cakes all had their viral moment — fun, fleeting, and full of flair. But Pista Kunafa Chocolate is different. It's not just a trend; it's become a global movement. You now see its influence extending into cakes, gelato, spreads, and more. People today crave more than taste — they're looking for storytelling, novelty, and the joy of discovery. They want to share something new with their circle, something experiential. Ruby Islam, head chef, Manam Chocolate Chocolate bombs, lazy chocolate cakes, and ruby chocolate feel more like Instagram-driven moments than meaningful food innovations. While kunafa chocolate has also inspired us and we have our own version/ interpretation of it - The Kunafa Stack. What tends to last are products that are either nostalgic or genuinely innovative — with thoughtful flavour pairings or smart craftsmanship. It's those with substance, not just style, that shape long-term consumption patterns and industry shifts.
