    Looks like we're ending the year with a little bit of second-hand embarrassment.
    A Zee News TV anchor tried to correct one of the panellists on his show even though there was nothing to correct and did so in such a condescending manner that it's actually cringey to watch.

    The Bengali panellist said, Rabindranath Thakur instead of Tagore and the anchor tried to call him out by saying that "you don't even know his name, please say it properly, Rabindranath Tagore".

    Well, fun fact - Rabindranath Thakur is actually correct, that's the real name of the Nobel laureate and Tagore is actually the anglicised version.

    You don't need much to become an anchor these days, people think.
    What an idiot, this so-called television anchor?
    — ParanjoyGuhaThakurta (@paranjoygt) December 31, 2020 Yep.
    Oh bhai saab
    Ab ye bhi dekhna baki tha 2020 me. Ab TV anchors sikhayenge Rabindranath ji thakur the ya tagore. https://t.co/nyoJ4iOf6P
    — Prabhjot Singh IAS (@PrabhjotIAS) December 31, 2020 Definitely.

    — Tweet Bibi ٹویٹ بی بی (@LifesTooShortF2) December 31, 2020 Interesting.
    Yes, his name is written ঠাকুর which is pronounced as Thakur. It was anglicized because British didn't bother to pronounce it correctly. Like how Scindia is anglicism of the name Shinde
    — Нарасимхика (@Ghrtachi) December 31, 2020 Perfectly fits here.

    — VIVEK SHARMA (@vivek01_sharma) December 31, 2020 Hmm.
    So I’m learning today that many Indians did not know that Tagore is simply the anglicized version of Thakur. I wonder if there are *Bengalis* who didn’t know this. Because then my mind would be completely blown.
    — Saugato Datta (@sd268) December 31, 2020 Wow.
    Here is another BJP buffoon, teaching a Bengali how to pronounce Rabindranath Thakur's name. And they are debating on outsiders in Bengal.

    — Hamadzaffar (@Hamadzaffar1) December 31, 2020 Yes, please.
    This is minus 82 IQ energy in the clip. I once tried to pronounce it right around an Indian aunty and she insisted that it's Tagore.... Please popularize pronouncing Rabi Thakur's name correctly https://t.co/g95KYqzyP9

    The wait for S Sreesanth to play domestic cricket is finally over as the former India pacer officially gets capped for the Kerala team ahead of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament, scheduled to begin from January 10, 2021. 
    The cricketer shared the moment of walking up to the officials of the Kerala Cricket Association surrounded by his teammates and loved ones who’re applauding the 37-year-old’s journey back to the game and his ability to stick to his passion throughout. 
    View this post on Instagram“There is nothing stronger than a broken man ,who has rebuilt himself..” Thnks a lot for all the Supoort nd love ..#Gods grace,” Sreesanth wrote in the caption of his Instagram post. 
    Sreesanth was banned from playing cricket at all levels that fell within the ambit of the BCCI over spot-fixing allegations in the Indian Premier League and the 2021 edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy would be the first tournament that the Kerala-born will be a part of in the past seven years. 
    Even though his term of punishment ended back in September 2020, he was unable to get the opportunity to show his talents on the field until now as the inaugural KCA President’s Cup T20 was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

    Reliance Jio has announced that all the local calls made by its users to other networks in India will be free. This change will come into effect starting January 1, 2021, and the same has been confirmed by the company in a statement.
    According to Jio, this has been done because interconnect usage charges (IUCs) for all domestic voice calls are coming to an end from Friday. “Honouring its commitment to revert off-net domestic voice-call charges to zero, as soon as IUC charges are abolished, Jio will once again make all off-net domestic voice calls free, starting 1st January 2021. On-net domestic voice calls have always been free on the Jio network,” Reliance Jio said in a statement.

    Jio proudly announced that they have delivered on that promise and made off-net voice calls free again. The statement noted how Jio is committed to make the common Indian the beneficiary of advanced technologies like VoLTE. " Jio is a customer-obsessed organization and cares for every single user. All our users enjoy free voice calls with Jio,” the statement said.

    As per the telecom regulator's directions, the 'Bill and Keep' regime is being implemented in India starting January 1, 2021, and it's putting an end to IUC charges for all domestic voice calls.

    Bigg Boss 14 contestant Vikas Gupta continues to stay in the headlines due to his controversial revelations in the popular reality TV show. In one of the recent episodes, he was seen having an emotional breakdown, remembering his past relationship. He hinted at the past relationship with ex Bigg Boss contestant Priyank Sharma. Without naming him, he said that he has been going through emotional trauma post the relationship ended. 
    View this post on Instagram
    Now, Vikas Gupta’s mother has said that she didn’t cut off ties with him because of his sexuality.
    Hi Just wanted to let you know a tiny detail about me. I fall in love with the human regardless of their gender. There r more like me. With #Pride I am Bisexual #VikasGupta PS No more being blackmailed or bullied #priyanksharma #ParthSamthaan ThankU for forcing me to come out pic.twitter.com/0N403EDukp
    — Vikas Gupta (@lostboy54) June 20, 2020
    Vikas had said in an earlier interview that his mother and brother distanced themselves from him because they were embarrassed of him, and that their relationship soured after he came out as bisexual.
    In a statement posted on social media, his mother, Sharda Gupta, wrote that it is inconceivable to imagine that she would disown her son because of his sexuality. She said that the family had been accepting of his orientation, but was forced to distance itself from him because no one wanted to “paint a bad picture of him in the media”.
    She shared the post with the caption that read, “Patience has its limits. If you don’t fight for what you want, Don’t cry for what you lost. Krishna (Bhagwat Gita).”
    She added, “To think that we actually distanced our own (son) for his sexual orientation is equal to making a derogatory statement about my family. Yes, my son and I are not on great terms but that has nothing to do with his orientation.”
    Vikas’ mother continued, “We had cut off ties with him much before he decided to come out in public, and we knew and have always loved him and accepted him the way he is. So the news about us distancing him because of his choices is a complete hoax fabricated to one’s convenience. But sometimes, when you give too much love, you risk being taken for granted. Unfortunately, we distanced ourselves from him but despite that, we maintained silence because unlike him, we didn’t want to paint a bad picture of him in the media.”
    She further added, “This matter would have never reached this far had my son not decided to cast aspersions against us. We had decided to give him due respect, but he couldn’t allow us our peace, which as a family, is our defeat. This would be my first and the last statement on the same as I don’t intend to carry on with this blame game and I would request everyone to understand and give us the respect and privacy we deserve. Thank you.”
    Meanwhile in an interview to TOI earlier this month, Vikas had said, “My brother Sid and my mother left my home some time ago, things had gone very bad after I disclosed my bisexuality to the world. My family finds it embarrassing to have me around them. They don’t want to be seen with me.”
    In a recent episode of Bigg Boss, Vikas expressed his regret at the way things have turned out between him and his family. He said, “Yahan aake realise hua ki main maa se bahut pyaar karta hoon. Mere chote bhai se sabse zyaada pyaar kiya, wahaan pe galti hui. Meri maa chin li, mere papa 30 saal se mere saath nahi the. Sirf baad mein aaye the, jab ye sab hua, dekhne ki main zinda hoon ya nahi (After coming here, I realised that I love my mother too much. I loved my brother the most but that was my fault, he snatched my mother. My dad did not visit me for 30 years and came back only to see if I am alive).”

    If I see 'Boycott Gal Gadot' or 'Boycott Wonder Woman' trending in India soon, I really would not be surprised.
    © Reuters
    To end the year, Gal Gadot decided to share some of her personal wonder women of 2020 and one of those women have desi people on Twitter all up in a frenzy.

    Among her family and friends, Gal also wanted to honour the people who inspire her and that included Bilkis Dadi.
    The 82-year-old activist was one of the most noteworthy protesters during the anti-CAA protests last year and the public's opinion about her is as divided as it can get.
    © Twitter
    For a lot of people, she's one of the most inspiring activists and for the others, she's a 'hired protester who was at Shaheen Bagh for Rs.500'. 

    So, of course, it's poles apart in India but looks like she's getting treated with respect overseas.
    © Gal Gadot/Instagram
    She was also one of Time's 100 most influential people of 2020 and now, even Gal is hailing her as a wonder woman. 

    This has, of course, irked the people who already had a bad opinion about her and looks like Gal is going to face the wrath of desi Twitter.
    Gal did get her facts wrong but at least the sentiment is there, I guess.
    While Gal deleted Bilkis Dadi's slide from her story, it's still part of the Instagram post she shared just a few hours ago.

    Soon, probably.

    — Thomas (@thomas_shleby23) December 31, 2020 It's so complicated. Shaheen Bagh’s Bilkis Dadi is in Gal Gadot’s list of Wonder Women.

    As much as it is a matter of pride that Bilkis Dadi is getting recognition worldwide, just can’t miss the irony of a zionist claiming she draws inspiration from someone who stood as a rock against fascism. pic.twitter.com/NtdiNZ6QRw

    now my personal Bilkis is Gal Gadot @GalGadot pic.twitter.com/u8iRAor4wi
    — Bacchan Pandey (@Bachchanpandey_) December 31, 2020 Okay then. Bilkis wasn’t fighting for women’s equality in India but she was opposing a law that gave citizenship to persecuted minorities of South Asia. You must read better @GalGadot pic.twitter.com/D1u8kSO1Vl
    — Monica (@TrulyMonica) December 31, 2020 Hmm. According to Gal Gadot, Bilkis Dadi was fighting for women equality. That is why I say Westerners are dumb. pic.twitter.com/70lgUUE65I
    — INDIA WAKES UP 🇮🇳 (@IndiaWakesUp_) December 31, 2020 Wow. Gal Gadot posting story & insta post praising Bilkis Bano doesn't means she is Anti India.

    It just shows how strong LW ecosystem is that they have made hero out of a paid protester by making her feature in Times top 100 list barely for eating biryani & taking ₹500.
    — Scar (@YourRishbh) December 31, 2020 That's true. stop stanning gal gadot over that bilkis daadi picture. you look like fools. she's a zionist and she literally served in the IDF???
    — aloo biryani bot | aisha stan account (@blob_of_butter) December 31, 2020 Koi nahi. Even gal gadot thinks that bilkis dadi is a wonder women. But ye duplicate queen @KanganaTeam ko kaun samjha sakta hai #lastdayof2020 pic.twitter.com/jl3tT3ByHd
    — Atif (@atif_pasha_) December 31, 2020 That's true. It's a matter of pride that bilkis dadi is getting recognition globally but stop stanning @GalGadot over that bilkis daadi picture.she's a zionist and she literally served in the Israeli Defense Force! pic.twitter.com/8rRRkYQ7Xr
