Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor will be seen together in Abhishek Kapoor’s next titled Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. The shooting of the film kickstarted a few days ago, and, this is for the first time in eight years of his career when Ayushmann is shooting for a movie in his hometown Chandigarh.
While talking about it, the actor recently stated, “It is remarkable that this will be the first time I’m shooting in Chandigarh! The process is going to be exceedingly special and I’m going to soak in every second of this experience. Chandigarh is the city that gave me the wind beneath my wings to chase my passion to be an actor.”
He adds, “This city and the remarkable people of Chandigarh have given me so much love and confidence right from my school days when I started doing theatre. The seed of me becoming an actor was planted here and I couldn’t be more excited to shoot my next here.”
Ayushmann is thankful for the love that the people of Chandigarh have given to him. The actor said, “Even when I became an actor, this city has constantly showered me with their overwhelming love. I’m indebted to my home town and all the people who have always supported me. Actors are nothing without the love of audience’s and I can confidently say that the Chandigarh people have always been my biggest supporters.”
“The people of this city stood behind me like a rock and have always been a motivational force. They have cheered the loudest and I can’t thank them enough! So, shooting in Chandigarh is like life coming to a full circle,” he added.
OpenAI unveils ChatGPT Atlas, its first web browser for Mac users
Browser removes the traditional address bar and integrates chatbot features
Aims to attract paying users through automated search mode
OpenAI moves into the browser market
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has entered the web browser market with the launch of ChatGPT Atlas, a tool designed to rival Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The browser, available initially on Apple’s macOS, replaces the standard address bar with a conversational interface centred around ChatGPT.
Company chief executive Sam Altman said the product was “built around ChatGPT,” marking a shift towards integrating the chatbot’s capabilities directly into everyday browsing.
Paid ‘agent mode’ for subscribers
Atlas includes a paid “agent mode” for ChatGPT subscribers, allowing the system to perform searches independently. OpenAI said this feature enables the browser to “work with your browsing context,” making the experience faster and more tailored.
The move reflects OpenAI’s broader effort to develop new revenue streams and strengthen its ecosystem of online tools, following partnerships with e-commerce and booking platforms such as Etsy, Shopify, Expedia and Booking.com.
Expanding user base amid growing competition
At the company’s developer event earlier this month, Altman revealed that ChatGPT had reached 800 million weekly active users, doubling from February figures reported by analytics firm Demandsage.
Industry analyst Pat Moorhead, chief executive of Moor Insights & Strategy, said early adopters would likely experiment with Atlas, but he questioned whether it could make significant inroads against established browsers. “Mainstream and corporate users may wait for their preferred browsers to integrate similar functions,” he noted, adding that Microsoft Edge already offers comparable tools.
Browser launch follows Google monopoly ruling
OpenAI’s latest move comes as Google faces increasing scrutiny over its dominance in online search. The US Justice Department recently ruled Google an illegal monopolist, though it stopped short of ordering the company to separate its Chrome browser.
Meanwhile, research from Datos shows that an increasing number of internet users are turning to chat-based search tools. As of July, around 6% of desktop searches were made through language model interfaces, more than double the figure from the previous year.
Google continues to embed automated responses within its own search results, reflecting a wider shift in how users seek and receive information online.
