Double the fun & double the chicken with KFC India’s new prank video
Mumbai: Some things in life can’t be understood, they just need to be loved. Like KFC India’s recently introduced all chicken, no bun Double Down Burger. This is what a chicken lover’s dreams are made of!
With a creative spin on the concept of ‘Doubles’, KFC’s latest prank video ropes in two identical twins to stage a prank that is sure to make you ROFL.
In the first half, ‘Double Trouble in the que’, the twins play the role of two customers who are waiting for their food. As soon as one’s order is delivered, she takes the tray and leaves, but the other twin comes in from behind and asks about her order, leaving people around her confused.
In the second half, ‘Double encounter at the counter’, both twins take on individual roles behind the counter, with one twin taking the order and the other serving the customer their order. Fans are unable to decode this level of multitasking and wonder how the same person is doing everything at once!
Both these instances end with a simple message, some things in life are meant to be enjoyed not understood just like the KFC Double Down Burger.

OpenAI’s Stargate lead Peter Hoeschele exits with two senior leaders
Trio behind compute push set to join new startup amid leadership reshuffle
SAN FRANCISCO: Peter Hoeschele, a key figure behind OpenAI’s early Stargate data centre initiative, has exited the company, according to a report by The Information.
The departure is part of a broader leadership shift, with two other senior executives, Shamez Hemani and Anuj Saharan, also set to leave in the coming days. All three are expected to join the same new startup, although details about the venture remain under wraps.
The trio played a central role in OpenAI’s Stargate effort, an initiative aimed at building large-scale data centre capacity in-house to reduce reliance on external infrastructure providers. Their exits mark a notable moment for the company’s compute strategy as it continues to scale rapidly.
OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement to The Information, “We’re grateful for the contributions Peter, Shamez, and Anuj have made to OpenAI and wish them the very best in what comes next.” The company also pointed to the recent appointment of Sachin Katti to lead its industrial compute organisation, signalling continuity in its infrastructure roadmap.
OpenAI has indicated that it does not plan to directly replace Hoeschele’s role, suggesting a possible restructuring of responsibilities within the team.
As competition intensifies in the race to build next-generation AI systems, leadership changes in core infrastructure teams are likely to draw close attention. For now, the spotlight shifts to what this departing trio builds next, and how OpenAI adapts as it scales its ambitions.
