Khushi Mukherjee, who has been facing backlash for a long time due to her bold outfits, has now defended her sartorial choices. Recently, Khushi took to her Instagram handle and dropped a video in which she was seen reciting Hanuman Chalisa. She mentioned that she is a 'proud Brahmin" and argued that just because she wears bold outfits, it does not mean that she is not cultured.
'I was born and brought up in a Bengali Brahmin family and I am very much aware of my cultural roots. I would like to recite the Hanuman Chalisa in front of everyone," Khushi said in the video.
'By doing this, I didn't want to prove anything to anyone. I know people will still say a lot of bad things about me and troll me. I just wanted to let everyone know that just because I wear bold clothes, it doesn't mean I've forgotten Indian culture," she added.

In the caption of her video, Khushi wrote, 'Just because I wear bold clothes doesn't mean i have forgotten my cultural background. I am a proud Bengali Brahmin. N i know even after reciting this hanuman chalisa I am gonna get targeted and trolled by certain group of so called influencers/actors who so ever. But this is for all my supporters!"
This comes a day after Shiv Thakare lashed out at Khushi for sporting revealing outfits while posing for the paparazzi. A video of the Bigg Boss star surfaced on social media in which he reacted to Khushi's viral clips and slammed her for seeking publicity by opting for revealing sartorial choices. Shiv mentioned that Khushi's family should scold her and even slap her, if needed.
Prior to this, actress Falaq Naaz also weighed in on the matter, without naming Khushi directly. In a strongly worded Instagram video, Falaq referred to Khushi only as 'didi" and expressed her frustration with the government's double standards when it comes to public decency and civic penalties.
Falaq also made an emotional appeal to the public to raise this question with the authorities. 'So, jitne log yaha pe baithe hue hai, help me out, tag authorities, and I want the answer now ke yeh sahi hai. Aur agar yeh sahi hai toh stray dogs ko khaana khilane pe koi aawaz naa uthaaye. Agar nang pane mein aawaz nahi uthrahi, toh bachcho ko khaane khilane mein aawaz naa uthana," she said.

"Every Child Can Shine": Students' Classroom Ramp Walk Video Moves Internet

A heartwarming video from a school in Meghalaya has gone viral, showcasing a creative classroom moment that's leaving the internet smiling. In an unexpected but delightful twist, students at St Dominic Savio Higher Secondary School in Garobadha were invited by their teacher, Tengsmart M Sangma, to participate in an impromptu ramp walk inside the classroom. "The video, shared on Instagram by Tengsmart M Sangma, opens with the words, 'Every child can shine once they overcome their fears,' perfectly setting the tone for what follows." The video captures students confidently walking between desks. Cheered on by their classmates, some students added their own flair-dancing, striking poses, and even acting out characters from their syllabus. The joyful activity not only sparked laughter and applause in the classroom but also struck a chord online. Internet users praised the teacher's initiative for fostering creativity and boosting students' confidence. "They are so cuteeee and confident," one user commented. Another wrote, "Mind-blowing kids' performance." Sangma explained that the activity was designed to let students express their aspirations and relate classroom learning to fun moments. "When I asked them to act according to their life aims, they performed with full energy," he noted in the caption. The video has since become a viral sensation, with many users calling it a refreshing reminder of the simple joys of school life and the powerful impact of thoughtful teaching.

Gracie Abrams just went Insta-official with Paul Mescal, but fans can't get enough of his lore with Daisy Edgar-Jones

Normal People came out in 2020. Gracie Abrams goes Insta-official with Paul Mescal, but fans can't seem to get over his lore with Daisy Edgar-Jones(Photos: Instagram) We are in 2025. But 5 years seem to have absolutely nothing on the breakout leads Paul Mescal, 29, and Daisy Edgar-Jones', 27, electrifying but wholesomely mundane chemistry — both in the show and across the innumerable instances outside it. Long story short, fans are convinced he's in love with her but she's not and so it goes. But facts move in an entirely different direction what with Paul being consistently linked to singer Gracie Abrams, 25, since 2023, around the same time that Daisy started properly seeing photographer Ben Seed. Speaking of Paul and Gracie, the latter just went Instagram official with her long speculated beau. A photo of them catching a break in the midst of the Glastonbury Festival made it to her loved up photo dump from the event. Several clips from the event doing the rounds of social media have revealed that Paul and Gracie were there with a big group of friends — including Daisy and boyfriend Ben. Now while Gracie's semi-hard launch of Paul on her IG, is a pretty intense move, it's only cue for the OG normal people stans to go doubly hard on the Normal People reel-to-real theory. Back in July 2024, Daisy, speaking to Variety, called Paul one of her "lifetime best friends", a narrative Paul, incidentally, has always reciprocated: "Paul is one of my lifetime best met when I was 20, and Paul was 22; I'm so excited to see where we'll be at 32, 42, and what life will bring us", she said. The duo also attended the Met Gala together back in 2022 with an image of Paul proudly gazing at Daisy from the back having gone viral — and we're talking weeks worth of memes level of virality. In an interview with WhoWhatWear later, Daisy focused on the "innocence" behind the picture, revealing it was Paul's idea to attend the gala together, seeing as she was so nervous about it. Back in May 2024 during the Fastnet Film Festival, Daisy also 'admitted' to have fallen in 'love' with Paul, though she was quick to clarify that it was only as friends, Speaking about Normal People she said, "So read the book (Normal People), fell in love with it, fell in love with Lenny's work. Met Paul, fell in love with Paul — like you know, as a friend. I'm announcing it here". There's also the very convincingly corroborated idea that the whimsical deer tattoo on Paul's right forearm is actually an ode to Daisy. And this sounds crazy, but hear it out. During an interview with GQ, when asked about the tattoo, Paul revealed that it had "something to do with Normal People" but immediately clammed up. The writer then noted how in the book, Paul's character describes Daisy's, as a deer, making it the only literal explanation that fits. Want to hear more? Daisy, in one of her interviews, explained how in playing her character Marianne, she tried to channel which animal?...you guessed it, a deer. Add to all of this the fact that Paul's social media handles, before he deactivated them all, were basically a "shrine' to either just Daisy or precious moments with her, and we have ourselves a very enticing rabbit hole to throw ourselves down. So, do you buy into this propaganda?
