Inspired by an article headlined Taking Amrit Home by ISHA KOPPIKAR Japan envoy’s biryani moment wins heart A simple plate of biryani turned into a quiet moment of cultural connection after Japan’s Ambassador to India, ONO Keiichi, shared a video of himself eating the dish by hand. The clip quickly struck a chord with Indians across social media. In the video, the ambassador is seen being gently guided by a local friend on the traditional way of eating biryani — gathering the rice with one’s fingers, shaping it carefully and tasting it slowly. Global pop star Nick Jonas once again reminded fans that his love affair with India extends well beyond red carpets and sold-out concerts. In a recent Instagram reel, the singer is seen sampling a crisp dosa at a breakfast buffet, his expressions shifting from mild scepticism to clear approval.

The song choice lent the moment a playful, personal subtext, transforming a casual breakfast bite into a knowing cultural wink. — TNS SOURCE: NICKJONAS/IG NEETU REMEMBERS RISHI KAPOOR
