Casey Kasem's family and close friends celebrated him in the same way much of America did – by listening to his unmistakable radio voice. Mourners at a small private memorial on Saturday for Kasem heard his old radio shows, including American Top 40, where he introduced music from Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell and the Bee Gees. The ceremony came a week after Kasem's death in Gig Harbor, Washington, at the age of 82. The family's representative Danny Deraney said around 100 family members, close friends and business associates gathered at the memorial at a church in the Bel Air neighbourhood. Kasem's three children all spoke and the pop music arranger David Campbell played a violin version of Stephen Sondheim's Send in the Clowns, one of Kasem's favourite songs. – AP

He's the lead star of the forthcoming film Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, but Armaan Jain is better known as the grandson of the late Raj Kapoor, one of Bollywood's veteran actors and producers. Talking to The Indian Express, Jain said: "I am very proud, it is an honour to be promoted as Raj Kapoor's grandson. I feel I am lucky to be associated with this name and the family. I do get scared at times of this name. I hope I get it right." Lekar Hum Deewana Dil is directed by Arif Ali and also marks the debut of the actress Deeksha Sheth. The film is produced by the actor Saif Ali Khan, whose wife, Kareena Kapoor, is Jain's cousin. The film is due out in the UAE on July 3. – The National staff
