Woman secretly records Rapido driver, body shames him; viral post sparks outrage online
A video circulating on social media has sparked widespread outrage after a woman secretly filmed her Rapido driver and body-shamed him, leading to outrage online. In the clip, which has now gone viral, the woman claimed she was forced to cancel her Rapido ride because there wasn't enough space for her to sit. She alleged that the rider was occupying too much space and also had a large backpack, which left her with no room to ride pillion. Without informing the rider, the woman filmed him from behind and mocked his appearance. Speaking in Hindi, she said, 'Rapido wala bulaya, Rapido wala dekh rahe ho? Main chupke video bana rahi hoon, jyada offend na ho jaye, but main kaha baithungee? Koi mujhe batayega, b**od..' While she claimed she didn't want to offend the driver, social media users pointed out the hypocrisy and condemned the woman for body-shaming and violating the man's privacy by recording him without his consent. The video has triggered a wave of angry responses online. Many users called out the woman's insensitivity and pointed out that mocking someone's body type, especially a stranger at work, is unacceptable. One user wrote, 'She thinks that shaming a hardworking, honest man is good. She could have simply cancelled the ride, but she chose to record a video and mocked him online in front of millions." Another commented, 'It's really disheartening to see someone go out of their way to shame a hardworking person just trying to do their job. If she had an issue, canceling the ride would've been enough. But choosing to record and mock him publicly in front of millions? That says more about her than him. We should uplift honesty and hard work—not humiliate it.' Several users also raised privacy concerns, with one post reading, 'Recording someone without consent and then shaming them on social media should be taken seriously.'

Shah Rukh Khan wins first National Award: 3 books that chronicle his journey and capture his superstardom
Shah Rukh Khan has won his first National Film Award for Best Actor, three decades after his debut in Hindi cinema and nearly as long since the release of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), one of Bollywood's most iconic romances. The award, shared with actor Vikrant Massey (12th Fail), was given for Khan's role in Jawan (2023), an action-drama with a social message. His legion fans, at home and abroad, are celebrating the win, with many noting the delay in official recognition despite the actor's longstanding popularity, global fan base, and numerous commercial and critical successes. As the conversation around Khan's career and cultural relevance resurfaces, here are three books that offer a closer look at the actor's life, influence, and legacy. This book uses Shah Rukh Khan not as a subject, but as a symbol of desire, decency, and a rare kind of emotional connection. Economist and writer Shrayana Bhattacharya interviews women from vastly different economic backgrounds over a decade to explore their lives, loves, and limitations in modern India. What connects them all is a shared fandom of SRK, whom they see as a fantasy of kinder masculinity. Rich with data, wit, and emotional insight, the book offers a compelling look at what it means to be a woman in contemporary India, and why Shah Rukh Khan has become such a meaningful escape and ideal. It is as much about the lives of women as it is about the mythology of the man they adore. A 500-page, 4.1 kg coffee-table biography, Still Reading Khan is a visually rich and emotionally layered look into the life of Shah Rukh Khan. It charts his childhood in Delhi to his rise as one of the most recognisable faces in global cinema. Written by close friend and screenwriter Mushtaq Shiekh, the book draws on over a decade of personal access to the actor, combining anecdotes, rare photographs, and dramatic design choices that mirror the highs and lows of Khan's life. Among the more intimate revelations are stories of personal loss: the early deaths of Khan's parents, his struggle with grief, and the obsessive early love story with Gauri Khan, complete with dramatic moments like him searching for her across Mumbai and predicting, 'One day I will rule this city.' While the book is glossy, and has drawn criticism for its hagiographic tone, it remains one of the most detailed portraits of SRK, covering not just the stardom but also the heartbreaks, ambition, and reinvention. In this medley of biography and cultural commentary, film journalist Anupama Chopra charts Shah Rukh Khan's journey from a Delhi boy with a passion for performance to one of the most recognised film stars in the world. While documenting SRK's career, including his early roles, international stardom, and business ventures, it also contextualises his rise within the transformation of Bollywood and post-liberalisation India. Chopra's vivid storytelling and industry insights make this an informative and entertaining read. Even for those unfamiliar with Indian cinema, the book paints a clear picture of why Shah Rukh Khan's stardom transcends borders and generations.
