Iuliia Aslamova shares her list of totally normal things she does while living in India.(Screengrab Instagram/@yulia_bangalore) 'Here's my list of absolutely normal things for yours #russianindian,' the caption of the reel reads. In the caption of her reel, she explains how she lives with her in-laws and enjoys it, saying it's a blessing since she doesn't have to manage the house herself. She also talks about eating with her hands, something she now does often and even claims makes food taste better. She goes on to say she's become comfortable with the Indian concept of being a little late. A 15- 20 minute delay doesn't bother her, and she simply plans around it. Having several house helpers, which felt unusual at first, now seems like a smart and convenient part of her daily life. Check out the viral video here: Iuliia mentions picking up bits of Hinglish and promises to learn Hindi properly in a year or two. She also highlights the Indian habit of negotiating as a surprising but useful skill she has gained here, calling it a 'superpower.' In the final few points, she talks about enjoying masala chai and how everything in India, from films to daily conversations, seems to be about love. Here's how people reacted to this video: The video mostly got positive reactions, with many praising Iuliia's warm and relatable take on Indian life. A few viewers, however, felt she oversimplified certain issues. One of the users, @sonalseth1, commented, 'Sorry to say but this. Is because you are not of Indian origin, so you are treated a little differently by your in-laws…' Another user, @kaviya_gowthaman, commented, 'Love your points. While many complain about the in-laws, there are some gems of MILs who understand and don't pass the generational trauma.' The reel not only offered a light-hearted look at cross-cultural habits but also sparked a friendly debate online about what's considered 'normal' or 'cringe.'

Harmann Kaur: There are no mistakes in fashion

What stood out for her wasn't just the questions people asked or the selfies they took, but the sincerity with which they approached her. Her advice to them wasn't about brands or trends but about confidence. 'These days, especially with social media, people end up looking at others' pictures and feeling intimidated in some way; even the most confident ones go through that. So, I told them to just stay true to themselves and be confident in whatever they wear. You can be of any body type or belong to any economic class; fashion is not defined by any of that. There are no price tags to fashion. You can wear something very simple and still elevate it,' she expressed. Her own sense of style started young: as early as five, she recalled being picky about her birthday outfit, matching her shoes and hair accessories to perfection. Harmann noted, 'I would really trouble my parents to take me shopping, not just for clothes but also for matching shoes and hair accessories; everything had to look a certain way. There was no Instagram or Pinterest back then, but I always had a clear picture in my head of what I wanted. That love eventually led me to become a stylist.' Despite not having any formal training, her eye for fashion and instinct gave her the big break — styling Allu Arjun. 'I feel genuinely lucky that everything happened so fast. It all started with Allu Arjun sir, who was looking for a personal stylist. Back then, I was very new. I had the aesthetic, the fashion sense and taste in me but no experience as a stylist, so I learnt a lot while working with him. Within two to three months, I began giving inputs and understood the game and the business behind it. Then I got to style Vijay Deverakonda, followed by Rana Daggubati, Dulquer Salmaan, and cricketers,' she added.

Corden has lent his voice to Smurfette's closest friend and emotional anchor - No Name - who was described as the heart and soul of the story by director Chris Miller.
