    It’s a new day and we have a new boycott, which appears to be in continuation of the trend we have been witnessing for the past few months.

    Sunday witnessed #BoycottNetflix trending on Twitter as several angry Indians took to the microblogging site to call out the OTT giant over a new web series called A Suitable Boy.

    A particular scene from the Mira Nair web series shows a couple, played by Tanya Maniktala and Kabir Durrani, kissing in a temple.

    While Lata Mehra is a Hindu, the character called Danesh Razvi is a Muslim.

    Based on Vikram Seth’s bestselling novel, set in the newly-independent 1950's India, literature student Lata Mehra faces the Herculean task of choosing between her responsibility to her family and her heart, as three men appear in her life as suitors.'

    Meanwhile, a case has been registered against Netflix.

    अपने ‘A Suitable Boy’ कार्यक्रम में @NetflixIndia ने एक ही एपिसोड में तीन बार मंदिर प्रांगण में चुंबन दृश्य फ़िल्माए। पटकथा के अनुसार मुस्लिम युवक को हिंदू महिला प्रेम करती है, पर सभी किसिंग सीन मंदिर प्रांगण में क्यूँ शूट किए गए?

    मैने रीवा में इस मामले पर FIR दर्ज करा दी है। pic.twitter.com/RcwuPDDME2
    — Gaurav Tiwari (@adolitics) November 21, 2020
    According to Tiwari, the objectionable kissing scene was shot in a Shiva Temple in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh.
    मंदिर का प्रांगण, बैकग्राउंड में आरती और अश्लील दृश्य।

    क्या मस्जिद में अजान के समय ऐसा शूट करने की ‘क्रीएटिव फ़्रीडम’ है आपको @NetflixIndia?

    हिंदुओं की सहिष्णुता को उनकी कमजोरी मत समझिए, ये मध्यप्रदेश का नहीं, भगवान शिव और करोड़ों शिवभक्तों का भी अपमान है।

    माफ़ी माँगनी पड़ेगी। pic.twitter.com/9TLnsQviHJ

    He then went on to announce that he was uninstalling Netflix from his phone, following which #BoycottNetflix started to trend on Twitter and people attacked the OTT platform left right and centre.

    — Arun Yadav (@beingarun28) November 22, 2020Netflix is "explicitly" a Hindu hαting OTT platform

    The problem is not the kissing scene, the problem is using a temple as a backdrop with a Hindu woman breaking the shackles of Hinduism by kissing a Buslim man

    The problem is your not so hidden agenda#BoycottNetflix pic.twitter.com/JzopYnCjvR
    — Vaidehi In Exile 🇮🇳 🕉️ (@dharmicverangna) November 22, 2020It`s not the first time. It won`t be the last. Time and again Netflix has shown it`s hαte towards Sanatan Dharma. Do we need such propaganda in the name of freedom of speech. It is time we take a stand. #BoycottNetflix pic.twitter.com/jYqpX4NLnR
    — Vertigo_Warrior (@VertigoWarrior) November 22, 2020And then there were also those who felt the boycott was completely unnecessary and preferred to see the lighter side of things:
    Irony is most of the Pajeets supporting your trend #BoycottNetflix can't afford Netflix subscriptions. They depend on Torrent https://t.co/cXGmksk9ok

    On June 14th, everything changed. The entire country stopped to mourn the loss of one of the most brilliant people in the country and a lot of people are still dealing with his death.

    Sushant Singh Rajput was not just a great actor but also a genuinely good person and his death affected a lot of people. 
    While it's understandable to want to know how we lost him at such a young age, everything that followed his death is something even he wouldn't have liked.
    © Twitter
    So, amid all the toxicity surrounding his fan base, here are some things that we should never forget about him, and should always be considered as his legacy:

    1. Making It As An Outsider © Yash Raj Films
    He wasn't your typical Bollywood hero. It seemed like he was quite particular about his choices in the movies he did and it honestly shows.

    With such a great track record, he always performed brilliantly, be it MS Dhoni or as Sarfaraz in PK.
    4. His Positivity About Life View this post on Instagram
    He always seemed so full of life and that's why the news of his suicide and alleged depression is all the more heartbreaking.
    On Twitter, on Instagram, he was always such a positive presence that no one could tell he was suffering himself.
    But, you know what they say, the saddest people smile the brightest.
    5. Anyone Who Met Him Left With Memories For A Lifetime

    While Bollywood does make its fair share of incredible movies that stay with us for the rest of our lives, it also sometimes ends up making the same movie with the same concept over and over again.
    As the audience, we might skip noticing the similar pattern in movies, but if we look closely at the careers of various actors we would find that their resume is filled with pretty much the same roles.
    Here are some popular actors who’ve made a career out of playing the same roles and are risking getting typecast:
    1. Kartik Aaryan 
    In case you've noticed, Kartik Aaryan plays the character of a man who despises women in most of his films. 
    He has even gone on a rant repeatedly in multiple movies. However, those were some epic rants and we don't mind watching those hilarious scenes on repeat.
    Even though we love his acting, we are sure both the audience and his fans would like to see some versatility from him, especially, given how capable he is of delivering a powerful performance. 
    2. Nushrratt Bharuccha
    Nushratt Bharuccha has made a career out of playing the role of a desirable woman who takes innocent men for granted and then gives them a hard time. 
    And yes, she is rather good at it, however, it's about time she starts thinking of using her talents for a more challenging role, perhaps.
    3. Ranbir Kapoor 
    Ranbir Kapoor has played the role of a lost man-child in almost all his films. 
    Take a look at some of his most memorable movies- Wake Up Sid, Rockstar,  Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Tamasha, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
    See what we are talking about?
    One can't help but think of his Barfi days when he stunned us all without even saying a word, proving his mettle as an incredible actor. 
    4. Sonam Kapoor Ahuja
    A lot of people believe that Sonam Kapoor is just playing herself in most of her films, being her chirpy, bubbly self.
    If you still don’t believe us, here is a list of her best films where it seems like she was just being herself - Aisha, Players, Bewakoofiyan, Khoobsurat, Veere Di Wedding, and The Zoya Factor.
    A rich, well-dressed woman with her first world problems, seems to be Sonam's cup of tea.
    Then again, Sonam also rocked us to our core with her gritty performance in Neerja, proving that she is quite capable of nailing a challenging character as well. 
    5. Varun Dhawan
    He plays the role of a lover boy who tries to woo the girl he likes and after overcoming these few hurdles he gets to the business of trying to convince the girl’s family. 
    In most of his hit films, he is more or less playing the same role with a different name.
    Come on, Varun, we've seen October, we know what you are truly capable of. Go on, and take a plunge into versatility.

    As teenagers, we were told that acne disappears once we enter our twenties. This was a straight-up lie for a lot of us who still experience acne even in our twenties and thirties. 
    Not just on our face, acne also pops up on different parts of the body as well. We get pimples on our back and chest as well and lastly, we sometimes also end up getting them on our butts aka butt acne.
    There's a reason why those red and irritated bumps exist, here's what could be causing it:
    © istock
    1. Tight-Fitted Clothing And Sweating Might Be Triggering The AcneWhile we're certain that you steer clear from tight-fitted clothing if you're sitting at home amid the pandemic, one needs to keep in mind that butt acne is caused by bacteria on the skin that colonises the body. 
    One of the major reasons is wearing clothes for too long or not changing the pair of shorts that often. The friction and sweating can irritate the hair follicles in the butt region causing red bumps.
    © istock
    2. Exfoliating The Region Can Help Treat Butt-AcneLook for ingredients that gently exfoliate the butt region like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), and are antibacterial, like benzoyl peroxide. 
    While AHAs give chemical exfoliation, beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) decrease oil production on the butt. 
    One simply needs to look for ingredients on the back label of body exfoliating products to find these.
    © istock
    3. The Things That You Should Avoid IncludeTry to avoid using a scrub or a loofah, it ends up worsening the acne while exfoliating. If the acne itches, avoid picking at the little bumps. 
    Lastly, one should remember that the treatment for butt acne is not any different from any other acne on the body, just remember to change clothes near the affected region regularly.

    The heartbreaking news of Indian cricket team’s pacer Mohammed Siraj losing his father broke out on Saturday. People from all walks of life offered their condolences and hoped that the athlete could mourn the loss in peace.
    He was added to the Team India roster for the Test series Down Under and would have loved to have debuted for the country in red-ball cricket in front of his father, but a battle against lung ailment got the better of him.

    The 26-year-old, however, showed strong character as he announced that he will continue to stick with his team for the upcoming tour of Australia. 
    BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has applauded his resolve on Twitter.
    May Mohammed siraj have a lot of strength to overcome this loss..lots of good wishes for his success in this trip.. tremendous character @bcci

    “May Mohammed Siraj have a lot of strength to overcome this loss..lots of good wishes for his success in this trip.. tremendous character.”The Indian cricket board had offered the cricketer a flight back home in order to stay with his family members in the moment of grief but Siraj respectfully declined the gesture and chose to commit to his national duties.
    Siraj played his only ODI in India colours back in January 2019 against the Aussies in Adelaide, but proved to be the most expensive bowler for the Men in Blue, giving away 76 runs in 10 overs while remaining wicket-less.

    And his previous stint in a T20I against Bangladesh wasn’t a treat either as the paceman leaked 50 runs in just four overs back in March 2018.

    Nonetheless, Siraj has significantly improved his game since then and was a vital member of Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bangalore’s journey to the playoffs of the Indian Premier League 2020.
    In nine matches, Siraj managed to pick 11 wickets for RCB and also became the first man ever in the history of the league to deliver two maiden overs in a single match.

    Yes, the captain of the Indian cricket team, Virat Kohli is going to become a father and has already announced that he will be taking a paternity leave in January 2021 to be with his family and the new-born child.
    The leave will come in the middle of the Test series of the upcoming Australia tour and will have the skipper leave his team behind to tend to family duty after the first red-ball match between the two cricketing giants.

    — ICC (@ICC) November 9, 2020
    And while something like taking a paternity leave has become more and more normal with time, it seems like everyone has an opinion to share. 
    Former Indian cricketers like VVS Laxman and Sunil Gavaskar have already spoken their mind and now, the 1983 World Cup-winning captain, Kapil Dev has also entered the conversation.
    Via video conference at HTLS 2020 Dev said:
    "Don’t think we could afford to go and come back. That’s for sure. Sunil Gavaskar didn’t see his son for many months. It was a different thing. Look, things change. If I talk about Kohli, when his father died, he came back playing cricket the next day. Today he is taking a leave for his baby. It’s fine, you can afford it.” © InShorts
    He further added that: 

    "You can buy a plane and go back and come back again in three days. I feel happy and proud that today sportsmen have reached a level where they can do this. I’m happy for Virat. He’s coming back to see his family. I understand you have passion but the biggest passion is that he’s having a baby.”A lot has been said about Kohli taking a leave of absence as he becomes a father. 
    Dhoni missed Ziva’s birthday for national duty & Kohli himself didn’t left his team & played on the day his father died, always thought he’ll play the all important BGT especially for the challenge that series brings & for its WTC context but then this got to be his personal call https://t.co/pNUNvAdTpu
    — Abhishek Kumar Singh (@cricketesque) November 9, 2020
    People have compared him to his predecessor, Mahendra Singh Dhoni who refused to go home to see his newborn daughter Ziva back in 2015 as the Men in Blue were in the middle of a World Cup campaign.
    The former skipper had said:
    "I have been blessed with a baby daughter. Mum and daughter both are good… but as of now I am on national duties so I think everything else can wait. The World Cup is a very important campaign."But what a lot of people also seem to have forgotten is that Rohit Sharma too took paternity leave in the final few days of 2018 while India were touring Australia for their annual Border-Gavaskar series and not a single soul batted an eye.

    To tag a player’s decision to choose family over a game, or choose a game over family with a ‘Right’ and ‘Wrong’ remark should be nobody’s business but the cricketers' and their family members.

    There was a time when British journalist Piers Morgan tried to shame India for celebrating a silver and a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics and former Indian opener, Virender Sehwag had talked some sense into him.
    Sehwag, eventually, revealed that infamous journalist Arnab Goswami had invited him to talk about his rift with Morgan and that the cricketer had refused this offer because he didn’t believe in adding fuel to the fire.
    We cherish every small happiness',
    But Eng who invented Cricket,&yet2win a WC,still continue to playWC.Embarrassing? https://t.co/0mzP4Ro8H9
    — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) August 24, 2016
    That was a little over four years ago.
    Today, if you look at Virender Sehwag talk about cricket and break down player profiles for all the world-class superstars based on their IPL performance, all that class, all the charm is gone.
    His single-man talk show series that he uploads from his Facebook page titled Viru Ki Baithak consists of unfunny one-liners, condescending jokes against his former teammates and opponents and unbelievably hypocritical statements when it comes to critiquing an off-form player.
    View this post on Instagram
    It is more noise than substance, more jokes over analysis, more of a comedy show than a respectable former cricketing legend talking about the game he loves (or at least used to love).
    When it comes to cricket, it doesn’t matter how fat or skinny a player is. As long as he is making runs or taking wickets for the team, he is a valuable asset to the squad. 
    However, for Sehwag, body-shaming athletes became another means to remain in the headlines. 
    Sehwag saying @ImRo45 VADAPAV

    Referring to an injured Rohit Sharma as ‘vada pav’ and his Mumbai Indians replacement Saurabh Tiwary as ‘samosa pav’ got him a lot of laughs and more and more people with a lust for spicey content flocked over to his channel. 
    Calling names to gain popularity… where have we seen that before?

    And then there are the unwarranted comments that get him international fame. 
    Recently, Sehwag was talking about Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and his poor performance during the 2020 season of the Indian Premier League.
    Having played in 13 matches, Maxwell managed to put up just 108 runs and played with a strike rate 101.88. A horrible season without a doubt but to be called a “10-crore cheerleader” is simply uncalled for, especially when Sehwag himself wasn’t a bigshot for the entirety of his IPL career.
    © Twitter - KXIP
    The difference between Arnab Goswami’s show and Sehwag’s “show” is that at least Goswami comes up with controversial quotes on the spot. It is outright sad to think that Sehwag would sit in a corner and write these “zesty zings” in his well-drafted scripts before going on camera.

    There is a reason why people prefer Harsha Bhogle over Sanjay Manjrekar and it definitely is not for his stinging insults. 
    When the quality of the content that you put out in the world is good enough, you don’t need to bank on additional aid for your audience to accept it. 
    One-liners and attempted humour only come into play when even the creator isn’t confident about his work and Virender Sehwag is currently well-settled in the second category.
