Ekam announces ‘Garaariyaan’ release on April 1; poster out now, track part of conceptual ‘Mahoul’ EP

The buzz around rising artist Ekam is only getting stronger as he officially unveils the poster for his upcoming track Garaariyaan, set to release on April 1. The song is a part of his much-anticipated Mahoul EP, a project that promises to showcase a dynamic and immersive sonic journey. Positioned as a high-energy anthem, Garaariyaan captures the celebratory and unapologetic spirit of modern youth culture. With its strong thematic focus on lifestyle, confidence, and social presence, the track blends Punjabi pop with hip-hop elements, creating a vibrant, party-ready soundscape. The use of rhythmic ad-libs and references to digital culture—like Snapchat and Reels—further roots the track in today’s evolving social atmosphere. The song is part of Mahoul EP, a conceptual project that reflects the shifting “atmospheres” of contemporary life. The EP is designed as a 360-degree exploration of human environments—from the high-energy social spotlight to introspective, personal moments. Each track within the EP represents a distinct “Mahoul,” offering listeners both sonic diversity and emotional depth. Ekam’s journey as an artist is deeply rooted in musical tradition and personal evolution. Hailing from Delhi, he began his musical exploration at the age of 11, influenced heavily by his father, a professional tabla player. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Ekam developed a strong foundation in Sufi music, even performing at Dargahs during his early years. His experience as a backing vocalist with Sufi bands gradually paved the way for his transition into a solo artist. Over time, Ekam has carved a niche for himself by seamlessly blending Sufi influences with contemporary pop and hip-hop sounds. His upcoming Mahoul EP stands as a testament to this evolution—bridging tradition with modern expression. With the poster already creating intrigue, Garaariyaan is poised to set the tone for the EP and position Ekam as a fresh voice to watch out for in the independent music space. The track drops on April 1 across all streaming platforms.

Twinkle Khanna Inspires Next-Gen Designers at NIF Global Mumbai with Candid Insights on Creativity, Authenticity, and Real-World Design "Machines don’t have a soul - design must come from authenticity, not algorithms," says Twinkle Khanna In a thoughtfully curated engagement that blended inspiration with practical insight, renowned author, entrepreneur, columnist, and interior design enthusiast Twinkle Khanna engaged with aspiring designers in a dynamic and intellectually stimulating session at NIF Global Mumbai – Andheri Platinum Centre. The experience was further enriched by an immersive campus walkthrough, where Twinkle Khanna explored curated student design installations across fashion, interiors, and spatial storytelling. A key highlight was “The Design Banter Show,” an interactive student-led segment that sparked candid conversations on design, trends, and personal expression. As a mentor at NIF Global, Twinkle Khanna shared thought-provoking perspectives drawn from her multidisciplinary journey. Addressing aspiring designers, she emphasized the importance of balancing creativity with functionality, particularly in interior design. “Breaking rules may work in art; Picasso did that brilliantly - but design, especially interiors, must remain functional. It’s not just expression; it’s about how people live,” she remarked. During an engaging session, she candidly responded to student questions, offering sharp and practical insights. Speaking on home design essentials, she highlighted the need for space and adaptability, adding humorously, “You need space, especially when you have many personalities within yourself.” She also addressed modern design challenges, cautioning against superficial trends. “Designing for Instagram first is a red flag. Luxury without comfort is another. True design must serve the user, not just the lens,” she noted. On professional integrity, Khanna encouraged students to make mindful decisions, even in personal situations. “If a friend isn’t qualified, you don’t hire them. Clarity and honesty matter in this profession,” she said, reinforcing the importance of merit-driven choices. Highlighting the evolving creative landscape, she spoke about the growing influence of AI. “We are living in a time where AI is everywhere, but it’s only a tool. Creativity must remain human. Machines don’t have a soul; your authenticity is your greatest strength,” she advised. Vivek Gautam, Director, NIF Global Andheri, shared, “It was an honour to host Twinkle Khanna at our campus. Her ability to blend creativity with clarity gave our students invaluable real-world perspectives. At NIF Global, we remain committed to creating such meaningful engagements that prepare our students to become thoughtful and future-ready designers.” The visit reinforced NIF Global Andheri - Platinum Centre’s position as a hub of creative excellence, offering students not just academic learning but also access to industry mentors, global exposure, and experiential opportunities that shape the designers of tomorrow.

Men Must Understand” Akshay Kumar’s Bold Take on Periods on Wheel of Fortune Mumbai, March 2026: The upcoming episode of Wheel of Fortune will witness a meaningful and impactful moment as host Akshay Kumar uses the platform to spread awareness about menstrual health and the importance of understanding and supporting women. During the episode, contestant Surbhi opens up about the stigma surrounding menstruation in society. She shares, “Sir, yeh aasaan nahi tha, kyunki hamare samaj mein isko lekar bahut sharam hoti hai. Aapne jab Pad Man kiya, tab bahut sharam kam hui, kyunki India ka sabse bada superstar aisi baatein openly kar raha hai. Is par film bani, jo gaon-gaon tak pahunchegi, toh yeh sharam bilkul khatam ho jaati hai. Aur hum chahte hain ki purush, mahilaon se zyada, is baat ko samjhein.” Responding to her, Akshay Kumar agrees and emphasizes the importance of awareness among both men and women. Referring to his film Pad Man, he says that while the film has already been released and achieved its purpose, the message remains extremely important. He urges everyone regardless of age to watch the film and understand the significance of menstrual hygiene. He further adds that it is especially important for men and young boys to understand what women go through during those 4 to 5 days. “Yeh samajhna bahut zaroori hai ki ek mahila un dinon mein kya sehti hai. Ladkiyon se zyada, aadmiyon ko yeh samajhna chahiye ki unhe unka khayal kaise rakhna hai,” he shares. While care and respect should always be present, he highlights that those few days are particularly important and require extra sensitivity and support. This powerful exchange once again proves that Wheel of Fortune is not just a quiz-based game show, but also a platform for spreading awareness and delivering meaningful social messages.

Akshay Kumar Opens Up About ‘Meri Zindagi Mein Bahut Hi Important Film’ Waqt With Amitabh Bachchan 26th March 2026, Mumbai: In a hilarious yet thought provoking episode of Wheel of Fortune, host Akshay Kumar turned a simple puzzle round into a memorable life lesson. While teasing and sharing laughs with contestants Surbhi Minocha, Rohit Bamola, and Mahak Gupta, Akshay seamlessly wove in wisdom from his own journey, reminding viewers that time waits for no one and the best moment to act is always now. During the puzzle round themed 'Sajna Savarna', Akshay struck up a conversation with Rohit Bamola, asking if he enjoyed getting ready and grooming himself. Rohit, clearly eager to impress, shared that he was a big fan of him and followed a disciplined routine just like him, waking up at 5 am, getting ready by 8, and helping his parents with work. Curious, Akshay asked Rohit, who he had come with, and he mentioned his Bhaiya, Bhabhi, Mom, Dad, and a friend. This led Akshay to verify Rohit’s claims with his bhabhi, Rupali, only for the story to take a hilarious turn. Rupali revealed that Rohit’s version of events was far from reality, sharing that he actually wakes up in the evening and spends most of his time on his phone. Visibly shocked, Akshay turned to Rohit and said, “kaisa jhoota aadmi hai yaar. Shaam ko 6 baje uthta hai aur tu bolta hai subah 8 baje maa baap ke help karta hai.” The candid moment had everyone laughing. Rohit’s brother added to the fun, admitting that Rohit has always been mischievous. Playing along, Akshay jokingly suggested that Rohit should touch their feet for how lovely they are. Later in the episode, Akshay asked Rohit if he had any complaints against his Bhaiya and Bhabhi, to which Rohit replied that he had none. The conversation then shifted to Rohit’s marriage plans. When asked when he plans to get married, Rohit said, “jab ladki mil jaayegi.” Akshay, continuing the fun, asked Rupali what kind of girl she would like for Rohit. She responded that she wanted a pyaari bhooli ladki for him, adding that being with such a girl might help him improve. When Akshay questioned whether that would really work, Rupali replied, “sudhar jaayega.” This prompted Akshay to share a deeper perspective, referencing his film with Amitabh Bachchan, saying, “main aap ko ek film bataunga, maine ek film ki thi, vo film hai na mere liye meri zindagi mein bahut hi important film thi, uska naam tha, Amitabh Bachchan ji ke sath ki thi ‘Waqt’. Uske andar ye hi line tha, ‘koi baat nahi, bacha hai sudhar jaayega’.” He further added, “main aap se ye nivedan karta hu agar aap ne nahi dekhi ho to iske sath baith ke dekhna ye film.” Turning the moment into a valuable lesson, Akshay emphasized, “kyun ki vo film hai na aap ko seekhati hai. Jisko hum sochte hai na, sudhar jaayega, but thik hai aage jaa ke kal ho jaayega, ye kaam aage kar lenge. Waqt jo hai na kisi ka wait nahi karta, kisi ka intezaar nahi karta.” Addressing Rohit directly, he said, “Rohit, main saachi bata raha hu, beta, Waqt jo hai na, vo kisi ka intezaar nahi karta.” Sharing his own journey, Akshay revealed, “14 saal ki umar mein maine kaam karna shuru kar diya tha... kyunki essa mehsoos hua tha ki khud to kuch karna hi padega. Kyunki padhai-likhai mein accha nahi tha, to kuch na kuch to karna hi padega.” He concluded with a powerful message for everyone,saying, “Aur sab ko ye kehna chahunga ki ye na kabhi boliye ki waqt aane pe sudhar jaayega, waqt aane pe kar lunga, nahi. Agar karna hai to aaj karo, warna nahi hone wala.” The episode beautifully balanced humor with a life lesson, as Akshay once again used his personal experiences to inspire audiences, reminding everyone that time waits for no one and the best moment to take action is now.
