Mumbai, July 14: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan finally took up the Bottle Cap challenge. But not without adding his twist.

The viral challenge is about people coming up with inventive ways to unscrew a bottle cap.

In the video, Salman is seen shirtless in a gym, all geared up to kick the cap off the bottle. There's a twist here.

Just before kicking the cap, Salman stops and approaches the already loosened bottle cap and blows it off. The "Kick" star then takes the bottle from his helper's hand, and drinks the water, and ends the video by saying "Paani bachao (Save Water)".

He captioned the video: "Don't thakao paani bachao".

It''s been weeks since Bottle Cap challenge started trending online. Apart from Salman, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Sidharth Malhotra, Parineeti Chopra and Sushmita Sen have participated in the challenge.

Salman on Sunday also shared his views with followers. "Life used to be black-and-white, yes or no, truth or lies, it was crystal clear. Now perhaps it's grey, it's maybe. Who the hell cares, is that true? Hope not for God''s sake.

"Long live morals, principles and ethics," Salman wrote.

Sao Paulo (AP): Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti raised doubts about whether Neymar will be in his squad for the 2026 World Cup. The Italian has yet to pick the former captain since he took over in May.

“If Neymar deserves to be (in the squad), if he is, well, better than others, he will play in the World Cup and that's it. (But) I don't have debts to anyone,” Ancelotti said at a press conference in Washington on Friday following the draw.

Brazil is in Group C with Morocco, Haiti and Scotland.

“If we speak about Neymar, we have to speak about other players,” Ancelotti added. “We have to think about Brazil with or without Neymar, with or without other players. Our final list we will make after the FIFA fixtures in March.”

The 33-year-old Neymar has never fully recovered from a torn ACL in October 2023 during a World Cup qualifier against Uruguay. But he's been key for Santos in its fight to avoid relegation in the Brazilian championship.

On Wednesday, he scored a hat trick for Santos despite a muscular injury. He is expected to play again on Sunday against Cruzeiro.

Ancelotti said Brazil does not have a “referential player” at the moment, a tag for the most valuable player that Neymar has mainly worn since the 2014 home World Cup.

“We have one of the world's best goalkeepers, some of the best defenders, top midfielders and some players up front. I don't want players who want to be the best in the world, I want players who want to win the World Cup,” Ancelotti said.

Asked about his team's group, Ancelotti said Brazil can top it.

“We can win all three matches, our idea is very clear. We need to be competitive during the entire World Cup. Our goal is to play in the final and for that to happen you need to face very strong teams anyway.”

Brazil won the last of its five World Cup trophies in 2002.
