‘Will be brilliant if AI can knead dough, clean table…’: Kunal Kapur
Celebrity chef Kunal Kapur says artificial intelligence is becoming a useful tool in the food industry, especially for helping chefs better communicate their dishes and create effective menu descriptions. Speaking about AI’s growing role in hospitality, he noted that many talented regional Indian chefs struggle to express their culinary ideas in writing and are increasingly using AI chatbots to articulate recipes and presentations. Kapur dismissed concerns that AI will replace chefs, joking that it could instead take over repetitive kitchen tasks like cleaning and preparation. He said technology should be seen as supportive rather than threatening. He also highlighted the rising global recognition of regional Indian cuisine, noting growing interest in cities like New York, while adding that international appreciation is still developing and has not yet fully matured.

Bhumi Pednekar reflects after meeting Dalai Lama
Actress Bhumi Pednekar shared a personal reflection on her “inward journey” after meeting the 14th Dalai Lama in Dharamshala. Posting on Instagram, she described the experience as deeply emotional, saying she felt “lighter, calmer and surreal” in his presence and was moved to tears afterward. She expressed gratitude for what she called a moment of peace, grace, and compassion, describing it as a memory she would carry forever. Pednekar, recently seen in the series Daldal, said the encounter aligned with her ongoing spiritual and personal reflection. The meeting took place in Dharamshala, where the Dalai Lama has lived in exile since fleeing Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule. The report also noted the historical backdrop of his exile, which led to India granting asylum and establishing the Tibetan government-in-exile, significantly straining India-China relations and contributing to long-standing geopolitical tensions.
