Bengali podcast blends the power of AI with music and storytelling
A YouTube channel named Sahaj Path, that promotes art and culture of Bengal has recently launched
Daulatdiyar Chithi - The Daulatdia Chronicle
, a Bengali audio-visual podcast that blends AI with music, storytelling, and visuals to create a unique cultural experience.
Produced by Neelanjan Ghosh, who served as writer, producer, and designer, the project is a testament to modern digital creativity. Direction, narration, voiceover, and song selection were expertly handled by USA-based elocutionist Amrita Sircar. The content features eight pre-released Bengali songs—seven sung by singer Arpita Bose Roy (female voices) and one by Anirban Dutta (male voice)—integrated seamlessly into a 48-minute narrative.
The story revolves around a young, talented girl from a remote West Bengal village who falls victim to caste-based politics and finds herself in Daulatdia, Bangladesh's largest red-light district. Her journey is one of hardship, hope, and resilience, culminating in a series of life-changing events—rescue, love, loss, and eventual empowerment. The narrative explores themes of social injustice, survival, and the indomitable spirit of underprivileged women.

'This person did...' Adnan Sami breaks SILENCE on his divorce from first wife Zeba Bakhtiar, 'We tried and...'
'This person did...' Adnan Sami breaks SILENCE on his divorce from first wife Zeba Bakhtiar, 'We tried and...' Adnan Sami is one of the most celebrated singers in the Indian music industry. He became a beloved voice after his collaboration with Asha Bhosle on the superhit song Kabhi To Nazar Milao (2000). While, the Padma Shri awardee had a remarkable professional journey, his personal life had seen its shares of ups and downs. Adnan Sami on divorce from his first wife Zeba Bakhtiar Adnan Sami who is currently married to Roya Faryabi, recently opened up about his previous marriage to Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiar, which ended in divorce in the late 90s. While speaking to Bollywood Bubble, the singer gave insights about the aftermath of their separation, focusing on the beautiful memories and time they once shared. He said, 'Sometimes what happens is that with time, for whatever reason, it was not meant to be, and that does not make you or me a bad person. That is destiny. After a certain period, you realise that it is not working and you part. We tried, and it did not work out for whatever reason; maybe it ended in a fight or a major clash.' 'At the end of the day, when you part, remember once upon a time, there was love, and let us respect that and move on. This person did bring me joy at a particular point in life and we had some great moments together.' Adnan Sami added. Zeba Bakhtiar on how things impacted her following divorce with Adnan Sami In a past interview, Zeba Bakhtiar revealed that how her divorce with Adnan Sami impacted her both personally and professionally. The couple has a son, named Azaan Sami Khan, now a music composer and actor. 'When I got married to Adnan, I was wrapping up a few films. At that time, I wasn't interested in continuing to act. I wanted to write, maybe produce. I wasn't that involved in acting. Then I married Adnan and Azaan was born, I was totally invested in that. But when the marriage didn't work out, I started doing productions and other projects.' Zeba said. Adnan Sami has been married three times. His first marriage with Zeba ended in 1997, followed with Dubai-based Sabah Galadari, with whom he got officially separated in 2009. He is currently living a peaceful life with his third wife Roya Faryabi and their daughter, Medina.

Fans REACT To Salman Khan's Security Pushing Aamir Khan's Son Junaid: 'Vicky Kaushal Was Snubbed…'
Last Updated: At the premiere of Sitaare Zameen Par, Salman Khan arrived with heavy security. Aamir Khan's son, Junaid, was initially blocked by the guards but calmly clarified his identity. At the premiere of Sitaare Zameen Par, as Aamir Khan's close friend, megastar Salman Khan arrived, he was flanked by heavy security. The guards, walking in formation with their arms linked to form a human chain around Salman, escorted him through the crowd and into the theatre. In the middle of this tightly controlled movement, Junaid Khan—Aamir Khan's son—was caught on one side of the commotion. Not immediately recognised by the security team, he was blocked from entering with them. Junaid, staying calm and smiling, had to introduce himself before he was finally allowed to pass through and join them. The video of Junaid Khan, Aamir Khan's low-key son—who is just two films old—finding himself caught in an awkward moment of misidentification, has gone viral on social media. The video of the moment shows the visibly surprised Junaid calmly clarifying his identity to the security personnel. Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan is known to be refreshingly grounded, especially for someone born into Bollywood royalty. Known for steering clear of the spotlight, he lives a notably modest life—riding in rickshaws, taking public buses, and even turning down a car gifted by his father, preferring simplicity over show. In fact, Junaid Khan isn't on social media, skips industry parties, and is often seen travelling in rickshaws. As Junaid himself put it, 'Papa makes a big deal out of small things. I just travel the most efficient way of traveling… I often take rickshaws in Mumbai because it is easier to get around and not worry about parking." In a candid conversation on Farah Khan's YouTube channel, he explained, 'It's very convenient. Ghar pe bahut saari gaadiyaan hai. Zarurat pade toh koi bhi le sakta hu," affirming that, despite access to family vehicles, he opts for whatever is most efficient . After making his silver-screen debut with Loveyapa, Junaid Khan teams up with Sai Pallavi for his next venture, tentatively titled Ek Din. Shot during a snowy festival in Sapporo, Japan, the project was initially lined up for a Valentine's Day release. First Published:
