Course on Diljit Dosanjh to explore Punjabi music’s global rise
The course, announced at the Billboard Summit in Toronto, will be run by TMU’s Creative School. According to the university, it will explore how Dosanjh’s work intersects with identity, entrepreneurship, and cultural influence across diasporic communities. Dr Charlie Wall-Andrews, who is leading the academic initiative, described Diljit as an ideal subject to study how regional music scenes influence global pop culture.
“This course goes beyond music. It’s about cultural authenticity, migration stories, and how regional sounds are driving creative economies,” Wall-Andrews said in a statement.
The university is positioning the class not just as a tribute, but as a serious academic look at how South Asian artists are shaping mainstream narratives.

Industry leaders say it’s long overdue
Sonali Singh, CEO of Ripple Effects and part of Dosanjh’s team, said the course reflects a deeper understanding of Diljit’s contributions. “His journey speaks to cultural pride and global representation, not just celebrity,” she said.
Backing the course, Billboard Canada President Mo Ghoneim added, “We’ve covered Diljit’s global milestones, from charting on Billboard to Coachella and the Met Gala. It’s only fitting that his story becomes part of academic discourse.”

While the announcement comes amid online debate around Dosanjh’s casting choices in Sardaar Ji 3, TMU’s initiative seems focused on legacy rather than controversy. Application details will go live on the university’s website closer to the course start in 2026.
BTS Suga donates £3 million to build South Korea’s first music therapy autism centre
• Named the Min Yoon-gi Centre, the facility is expected to open in September 2025.
• The centre will house the MIND programme: Music, Interaction, Network, Diversity, using music as a tool for therapy and communication.
• Suga was personally involved in developing and piloting the music therapy sessions during his military social service period.
Just days after finishing his 21-month social service, BTS member Suga has made a historic donation of 5 billion won (£3 million) to Severance Hospital to establish a dedicated autism care centre. The new facility will focus on long-term mental health care for children with autism and aims to integrate music into clinical therapy.
How the MIND programme uses music as a communication tool
The centre will house a unique initiative called MIND, short for Music, Interaction, Network, Diversity. The idea first came up in late 2023 when Suga began working with Professor Cheon Keun-ah, a leading child psychiatrist. Together, they developed the programme to help autistic children communicate and build emotional skills through music.
From March to June 2025, Suga volunteered every weekend at the hospital, helping guide children through group music sessions. He played guitar, led rhythm exercises, and encouraged expression through melody. Doctors reported noticeable improvements in children’s behaviour, verbal response, and social interaction over the sessions.

A personal mission for mental health advocacy
Suga’s interest in mental health support for youth has been a recurring theme throughout his career. However, this initiative marks his most hands-on contribution yet. He not only funded the centre but participated in shaping its approach and testing its impact.
“Music became a bridge that helped these kids express feelings they couldn’t in words,” he shared. “It’s been a privilege to be part of this journey, and I’ll continue supporting them in any way I can.”

The Min Yoon-gi Centre will open at Severance’s Sinchon branch in September. Beyond therapy, it will also serve as a research hub for autism-related treatments and train future specialists in music-based interventions.
With this effort, Suga sets a precedent for how artists can meaningfully contribute to mental health advocacy, bringing together art, empathy, and action.
Salman Khan says he is battling brain aneurysm and trigeminal neuralgia on The Kapil Sharma Show
Salman Khan recently left audiences stunned during the premiere of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 when he openly discussed his health conditions. The actor revealed he is currently living with a brain aneurysm, trigeminal neuralgia, and arteriovenous (AV) malformation, three serious neurological issues that can significantly affect daily life.
Despite the gravity of these diagnoses, Salman shared that he continues to work, even filming intense action scenes. The 58-year-old star said, “We’re still breaking bones every day. Ribs gone, neuralgia, aneurysm in the brain, AV malformation, yet we’re showing up and working.”
Understanding brain aneurysm and other conditions Salman Khan is facing
A brain aneurysm forms when a weak spot in a blood vessel balloons out. Often symptomless until rupture, it can cause life-threatening brain bleeds. According to neurologists, symptoms, if they appear, might include sudden, severe headaches, blurred vision, or even seizures.
Trigeminal neuralgia, meanwhile, is a chronic nerve disorder that causes sharp, electric shock-like pain across the face, sometimes triggered by everyday activities like talking or brushing teeth. AV malformation involves an abnormal web of arteries and veins, disrupting blood flow and increasing the risk of stroke or brain damage.

Doctors caution that while these conditions can be managed with timely treatment, they’re often made worse by stress, erratic sleep, and overexertion, lifestyle factors many celebrities deal with regularly.
Why Salman Khan’s health revelation matters
Salman’s admission draws attention to hidden health issues even among the fittest individuals. Experts emphasise that early diagnosis and lifestyle awareness are crucial. High blood pressure, poor sleep, and chronic stress can all raise the risk of vascular and nerve-related disorders.
