Phukan has now donated ₹75,000 towards two social causes. From her Instagram Stories, it appears that the causes to which she donated were decided through a public poll.
Voters could choose between Health, Elderly, Animal Welfare, and Children. More than 45,000 people voted in her Instagram poll, with 35% choosing 'Children' and 33% choosing 'Animal Welfare'.
As a result, Archita Phukan donated ₹45,000 to an animal welfare charity. She also gave ₹30,000 to an organisation that helps 'bring children facing abuse in red-light areas to safety'.

The cause of helping women and children facing abuse seems to be close to Phukan's heart – she has earlier spoken about her troubled past in the 'dark world of prostitution'. Phukan had revealed that she was trapped into prostitution for six years and paid ₹25 lakh to escape. She also claimed to have helped eight other girls escape prostitution.
'With the unwavering support of a trusted friend and an organization dedicated to helping survivors like me, I was able to free 8 other girls/women and give them a new life,' she wrote in an Instagram post in 2023.

Ashish Chanchlani says he could never date Elli AvrRam. Here's why
Influencer Ashish Chanchlani and actor Elli AvrRam have made it clear that they are not dating. The duo recently addressed rumours about their relationship during an Instagram live session. Chanchlani also shared why a romantic involvement with AvrRam is not the live session, Chanchlani stated, "I can never date this person. Mujhe pagal kutte ne nahi kaata hai (I haven't gone mad). Because working with Elli is like putting your hand in a lion's mouth. Working with her is extremely difficult. It blew up once media houses picked it up. My original thought was, 'Let's prank,' because my followers are used to my jokes. But we didn't expect it to get this big."advertisementChanchlani reassured fans that they are just friends and expressed gratitude for the positive reception of their music video 'Chaandaniya'. He noted, "Elli's parents knew the truth. But apart from them, so many people congratulated us." AvrRam also addressed the dating rumours, saying, "I didn't know what to say. But it did feel nice - it shows we have so many well-wishers."Chanchlani, maintaining his humorous persona, ended the live session by jokingly asking AvrRam, "Didn't it ever cross your mind, maybe we should actually date after this fiasco?" Her sharp look prompted him to quickly retract, "Okay, never mind. I can never date her."The speculation around their possible romance began after Chanchlani posted a picture on Instagram on July 12, showing him carrying AvrRam while she held a bouquet of roses. The caption, "finally," added fuel to the fire, leading to widespread conjectures about their relationship song 'Chaandaniya' has been composed by Mithoon and features vocals by Vishal Mishra. The chemistry between Chanchlani and AvrRam in the video evidently sparked more interest than they anticipated. AvrRam was recently seen in the film 'Be Happy', alongside Abhishek Bachchan and Nora Fatehi. It is available for streaming on Prime Video. Meanwhile, Chanchlani will be seen in the upcoming web series 'Ekaki'. It will be released on his own YouTube channel.- EndsMust Watch

‘Called me and said she is getting married': Amaal Mallik says he refused to elope with ex after her parents rejected him, father Daboo responds; expert on validation in love
Singer-composer Amaal Mallik recently opened up about a deeply personal chapter of his life, one that involved heartbreak, and a difficult choice between love and self-respect. Speaking with Siddharth Kannan, the 33-year-old recalled his relationship that lasted from 2014 to 2019, and how it came to an end when his partner's family disapproved of his religion and his career in the film industry. 'We were in a relationship from 2014 to 2019. But her parents were against my religion and career. They didn't want to associate their daughter with anyone from this industry,' he said. The breakup, Amaal said, happened just before a performance, when he received a life-altering phone call. 'I was about to perform a gig when she called me and said she is getting married, but she would elope if I came to her. But, I guess the SRK from DDLJ in me woke up and said, 'No, if your parents can't accept my religion and respect my career, then I wish you the best.'' After this went viral online, his father Daboo Malik responded with a moving comment, 'Son … remember your father is always there… I know your pain and I love you to eternity… There can be none like you…' Earlier this year, Amaal made headlines after announcing that he was clinically depressed and had decided to cut off personal ties with his family, including his parents and brother, singer Armaan Malik, through a post on Instagram. Sonal Khangarot, a licensed rehabilitation counsellor and psychotherapist, tells 'As a psychologist, I see this commonly: individuals deeply in love yet emotionally torn when their bond clashes with familial or societal expectations. The pressure to conform can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, guilt, and even identity confusion. When love is seen as rebellion, individuals may feel forced to choose between their emotional truth and the approval of those they were raised to respect.' In many cases, she adds, the relationship doesn't survive — not due to lack of love, but due to cultural roadblocks. The emotional toll is profound: grief, isolation, and unresolved anger. Navigating this requires compassion, clarity, and often, therapeutic support. In India, where collectivist values dominate, the cost of defying tradition can be heavy, yet denying personal authenticity comes with its lasting psychological consequences. Khangarot says, 'I often see how vital belongingness and interpersonal validation are to emotional well-being. In collectivist cultures like India, acceptance by a partner's family isn't just symbolic — it affirms one's worth and strengthens relational security. Choosing not to elope, as Amaal Mallik did, reflects a desire for relational legitimacy — being seen, respected, and integrated into the partner's social world. Rejection from a partner's family can trigger feelings of inadequacy, shame, and attachment insecurity. On the other hand, familial approval provides a sense of social anchoring, reinforcing the relationship's stability and the individual's identity within a shared cultural framework.'
