Armaan Malik Gives A Sneak Peek Into His Birthday Celebrations And We Are Drooling
Singer Armaan Malik turned 30 on Tuesday. He celebrated his special day with wife Aashna Shroff, his parents Daboo and Jyoti Malik and brother Amaal Malik. Armaan shared glimpses of his birthday celebration in an Instagram post. The opening frame featured the singer posing with two cakes on the table. While one had a cocoa-colored frosting, the other came with a caramel glaze on top. Further in the post, we saw Armaan sitting on a chair with another cake in front of him. This time, it was topped with whipped cream and decorated with shredded orange and macadamia nuts. Armaan and his family went out for a Teppanyaki dinner on his birthday. Teppanyaki is a popular style of Japanese cooking where skilled chefs prepare a meal right in front of diners on a flat iron griddle, making it an interactive and visually entertaining culinary experience. The singer shared glimpses of the chef cooking food on his table. He was seen cutting meat and making fried rice on the griddle. In the next slide, waiters brought another cake to the table as they sang the "Happy Birthday" song for Armaan. This one was covered with vanilla frosting all over with a chocolate plaque on top. Finally, the last cake of the day was a reference to the TV series Game of Thrones. It said, "Thirty Is Coming," similar to the show's iconic line, "Winter is coming." In the caption, Armaan wrote, "Genuinely had the best birthday. Slow, simple, surrounded by everyone i love, good food, yummy cakes and the absolute best vibes! bye bye 20's."

5 things Indians always ask before booking a cruise; and what they should really be asking
India's appetite for travel has grown exponentially, and cruising — once seen as a niche luxury — is slowly gaining ground. Yet, for many Indian travelers, the idea of setting sail still comes with a lot of hesitation. After speaking with hundreds of potential cruisers, we've identified the most frequently asked questions — and what savvy travelers should be asking instead. Will I get Indian food or vegetarian meals on the cruise? What they should be asking : What kind of culinary experiences does the cruise offer — and how can I explore global cuisines while still getting my comfort food? Yes, most modern cruise liners catering to Indian audiences have already solved this concern. From Jain meals to masala chai, you'll find an Indian touch onboard. But what's even more exciting is the opportunity to explore global cuisine — fresh Mediterranean fare, sizzling Teppanyaki, classic Italian, and even live sushi counters. It's a gourmet world tour at sea. So while the dal-chawal is available, it's also a chance to explore and experiment. Isn't cruising meant for old people? What they should be asking : What kind of onboard experiences cater to different age groups — especially for families and younger travelers? This myth needs to retire. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Today's cruises are designed like floating cities — with everything from Broadway-style shows and water parks to skydiving simulators, adventure sports zones, comedy clubs, fitness boot camps, and curated kids' zones. Whether you're 8 or 80, there's entertainment tailored for you. Some cruises even have Instagrammable wellness retreats and nightlife rivaling that of top metros. How much does a cruise cost? Isn't it a luxury? What they should be asking : What's included in the cruise fare — and how does the value compare to a land-based holiday? Cruising sounds fancy — but many are surprised to learn how inclusive the experience is. Your fare typically covers accommodation, all meals, entertainment, pools, kids' activities, and multiple destinations (without the need to constantly unpack!). When compared with flights + hotels + meals + sightseeing, a cruise can actually be more cost-effective — especially for group or family travel. What do I do in the middle of the sea? Won't it be boring? What they should be asking : What kind of shore excursions and onboard itineraries are available — and how do I personalise my experience? Modern cruise ships are destinations in themselves. From sunrise yoga by the deck to wine tasting at noon, an art auction in the afternoon, a quick zipline ride post-lunch, and live theatre by night — there's no room for boredom. Add to that curated shore excursions (think snorkeling in the Andamans, exploring Greek ruins, or shopping in Singapore) and your itinerary will be packed with experiences you'll remember forever. Will I get seasick? What they should be asking : What measures do cruise ships take to ensure a comfortable voyage — and what should I know as a first-time cruiser? Today's cruise liners are engineering marvels — equipped with stabilisers and medical staff onboard. Routes are planned for calm seas, and most first-timers find they don't even notice the movement. But yes, motion sickness patches and a quick chat with the onboard doctor can ease any worries. A balcony room and spending time outdoors also help. Cruising is not just a way to travel — it's a way to slow down, reconnect with loved ones, and explore the world in a new light. Instead of focusing on outdated assumptions, Indian travelers should embrace the opportunities cruises offer — comfort, value, diversity, and adventure. The sea is calling — and it's anything but boring. (By: Shiju Radhakrishnan, Founder & CEO,
