    Breakups are a turning point in many peopleâs lives but that doesnât mean that youâve lost everything and there is nothing better left for you. We might feel devastated for a while but we only come out stronger if we go through the whole process maturely. Also, every break up is different as no two relationships are the same. So, hang in there are youâll sail your boat smoothly. Here is a list of five Bollywood movies that explained how to handle a break up maturely. Take some inspiration! 
    1. Tamasha
    This Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starrer film is what you need if you have are or have gone through a rough patch. However, in the film, they get together in the end but the story is much more than love. If youâve just broken up and need some tips on self-love, this should be your go-to movie. 

    2. Cocktail
    This movie tells you that you canât forcefully make someone fall in love with you and when itâs time; you just have to let them go. Also, this Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan, and Diana Penty starrer is a fun watch to change your mood as well.  

    3. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil 
    The film is about unrequited love and friendship and youâll definitely learn a lot from this film. Every character in the film will give you life lessons that you need and beware as you might end up crying a little bit. Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are playing the lead roles in the film. Also, this film can be re-watched over and over again. 

    4. Dear Zindagi 
    Itâs okay if you havenât found âthe oneâ yet! Dear Zindagi is one of the best films thatâll help you if youâre on a self-exploration journey. The lead role is played by Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan plays the role of her therapist. 

    5. Jab We Met 
    In the film, Shahid Kapoor had literally lost everything, and on top of it his ex-girlfriend had gotten married to someone else. The film is a perfect example of how better things will come your way if you just wait a little bit. After all, in the end, he found âGeetâ! 

    If you havenât watched this film yet, itâs time to watch this one and learn a few things from both Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoorâs character in the film.

    Government organisations use social media as a way of dispersing information on the internet. However, some organisations take it up a notch with high engagement with their audience that results in remarkable accountability. Mumbai Police is one such organisation that does this.
    So, if you don't follow Mumbai Police on Twitter, you're living under a rock. Mumbai Police's Twitter account, apart from being extremely responsive to people's complaints, is also filled with relevant but hilarious memes. In fact, through these memes, sometimes they try to spread awareness about social situations.
    Sometimes, these pop culture references in their memes are so funny that they end up going viral on the internet. Here are some of the recent memes that were relevant in 2020 amid the coronavirus crisis.
    1. When the districts were divided into red, orange, green zones amid the lockdown. Here's why you should follow the mandates according to Mumbai Police.
    Every player knows - when in a red zone, always stay at home! #GamingLessons #Safety101 #TakingOnCorona pic.twitter.com/rHyqnrqDs2

    2.  Mumbai Police took to its Instagram account to pay the The Lunchbox actor, Irrfan Khan a special tribute. On their social media account, they posted an iconic Irrfan Khan meme format, a meme relevant to the COVID-19 scenario.

    No matter how intense a crime scene is, it has the ability to grip the whole nation and when it finally turns it into a movie or a novel, there is nothing like it. Movies with a twisted ending always leave the audience shaken to the bone and with such gruesome cases that are so intricate, moviegoers cannot resist watching them. Here are some blood-curdling true crime movies, which are an adaptation from real-life crime scenes that you need to watch right now. 
    1. Not A Love Story (2015)How do we ignore a great movie of Ram Gopal Varma, based on real-life crime and events? Not a love story, is a fiction version of the gruesome murder of Neeraj Grover that took place in 2008. For this, Maria Susairaj and ML Jerome were convicted for culpable homicide.

    2. Donnie BrascoOne of the best mafia movies out there, that you will sure as hell remember is Donnie Brasco as it is based on known people and murders. The Bonanno crime happened in real and was infiltrated by an FBI agent Joseph D Pistone known as Donnie Brasco. This character is played by Johnny Depp in the movie.

    3. SnowtownThe infamous murder mystery that took place in South Australia, has also been converted into a movie named Snowtown. The story is well made and is also gruesome at the same time, due to its unwatchable violent scenes which are quite disturbing.

    4. Gone GirlYou might know that Gone Girl is an adaptation from a novel written by Gillian Flynn, the fact that it is a true story too, is also spine chilling. The movie received political critical reception and it remains an iconic story even today. The true story is of Laci Peterson which inspired the writer who also wrote the screenplay for the movie and film stayed true to the event!

    5. RahasyaRahasya is a great movie and one of the authentic films that depict the real-life murder case of Aarushi Talwar. This movie did not do well at the box office but Meghna Gulzar recreated the whole movie, with the same case and then came out Talvar, which held the audience tight on the seats.

    6. Catch Me If You canA movie that struck a chord with us instantly was Catch me if you can. This crime drama film had our very own Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. The movie became a huge success but the real reason why it reached hearts of many was that it was based on the life of Frank Abagnale, a con-artist who posed many cons as a pilot and ended up earning millions.

    We love the Indian Music Industry, we honestly do. It has given us some really good songs, for a number of occasions. Be it a party anthem, or a song that just sits well when we feel sombre, we have a wide array of songs to choose from. And the lyrics that are a part of those songs - man, do they give us goosebumps at times.
    © YouTube/SingerShaan
    With that being said, there are a few songs and their lyrics that are downright ridiculous. 
    © Twitter/sonymusicindia
    I mean you canât help but wonder, what was the lyricist smoking when they wrote those lines. As Moin Akhtar said in that famous video of his - 
    © Twitter/MemeGuru



    Here are just some of the few lyrics that apart from making you bleed from your eardrums, also makes you sit back and think, what the heck was the lyricist smoking.

    via GIPHY
    Genda Phool - Badshah
    There are a lot of reasons why people just cringe at the song, especially if that guyâs a Bengali. First of all, it just besmirches a classic Bengali folk song with inane trash. However, the lyrics that accompany the rest of the song, is just absurd - 
    Bum Tera Gotay Khaye, Kamar Pe Teri Butterfly, 
    Body Teri Makkhan Jaise, Khane Mein Bas Tu Butter Khayeâ¦
    Oh wait, we are not done, thereâs moreâ¦
    Come on Baby Kick It, Kick It, Katun Teri Ticket Ticket, 
    Khelta Nhi Cricket Wicket, Par Lelu Teri Wicket Wicketâ¦
    Seriously, what was Badshah thinking?
    Hookah Bar - Himesh Reshammiya
    Oh you know this one was on this list. Himesh Reshammiya has a penchant for two things - making songs that are catchy as heck, and making song hooks that stick to your brain for years. However, in that pursuit, he has often given us some bizarre lyrics. For example - 
    Teri akhiyon ka waar jaise sher ka shikar
    Tera husn dhueydaar jaise jaltaa cigar
    Tere pyar ka nasha kabhi aar kabhi paar
    Tera pyaar pyaar pyaar hookah barâ¦
    Please donât make us listen to this song. Like, ever again...
    Vroom Vroom - Badshah (The Rap Portion)
    Here is another fascinating number by Badshah. Fascinating because it makes us wonder how creepy and cringy can lyrics get? Seriously, these are the actual lyrics from a part in the song - 
    Gaadi two seater banda main alone
    Mujhse tu baat kar, kya dekhti hai phone
    Aaja mere paas
    Main daal doon chaabhi tere ignition mein
    Let me turn you on
    Tell us you didnât cringe on reading these lyrics. There is something called, sexual banter, there are some metaphysical innuendos and then, there is whatever you would call this.
    Po Po - Shabbir Ahmed
    You have to know that you have done a bad job when you have to name a son Po Po. If that doesnât seem ridiculous enough, take a look at the lyrics.
    Tere seb jaise gaal
    Tu hai mind blowing maal aaja nach le
    O soni nach le o soni nach le mere naal ve
    Agree, it is not as ridiculous as some of the other songs, but still, it ranks pretty high up
    Ice Cream Khaungi - Shabbir Ahmed
    I bet you donât remember this one, now, do you. Well, it is only plausible. The song was a part of a movie called The Xpose, starring Himesh Reshammiya & Yo Yo Honey Singh. If youâre laughing just at this fact, hold your horses, and take a look at the lyrics - 
    Ice Cream Khaungi
    Kashmir Jaaungi
    Sholo Mein Bhadke Jiyaa
    Jalve Karaungi
    Usko Rijhaungi
    Jo Hoga Mera Piya
    The music video of this one is even hilarious. And mind you this is supposed to be a serious, thriller film.
    Aa Re Pritam Pyaare - Sameer Anjaan
    Rowdy Rathore was your typical masala entertainer and a movie that necessitated that you left your brains at home when you went to watch the film. Thatâs okay, Bollywood isnât usually known for making films that make you think that hard, barring a few instances. But until we read the lyrics for this song we didnât know that you are supposed to leave your brains behind, even when listening to the songs.
    Aa re pritam pyare 
    Bandook mein naa toh goli mere 
    Sab aag toh mere kurti mein re 
    Zara hukka utha zarrra chillam jala  
    Pallu ke neeche chupa ke rakha hai 
    Utha doon toh hungama hoâ¦. 
    Pallu ke neeche daba ke rakha hai 
    Utha doon toh hungama hoâ¦.
    Not just these, there are several other instances from the soundtrack of the film that was as bad.
    Fevicol Se - Sajid-Wajid, Ashraf Ali
    Finally, we have a gem of an example of just how ridiculous lyrics can get. The song is full of such instances. So many in fact that we cannot even count all of them. Here are just a few of the choicest ones - 
    Pyar karle tu aaj angur ki daughter se
    Naseeyat bhool jayega tu ek gotar se
    Peene wale ko bhi jeene ka maza aayega
    Ye woh daru hai jo chadh jaaye sirf water seâ¦.
    And then thereâs also this - 
    Main to tanduri main to tanduri murgi hoon yaar
    Gatkale saiyan alcohol se oh yeah.
    And finally, there is this - 
    Nain hum ladayenge baby doll se
    Ho laundiya patayenge miss call se
    Bat-ball se, Cinema hall se
    Are marriage-hall se, Overall se
    Tere photo ko seene me yaar
    Chipka lunga main Fevicol se
    Leave aside the tons of problematic things that the song does for a moment, what coherent sense can we make of these? We certainly couldnât.
    We definitely know we missed quite a few other âgems of astute wisdom.â Do let us know in the comments which ones we should have added to this list.

    With the lockdown getting relaxed in various zones throughout the country, more and more people can be seen on the streets, in their cars and in the standalone grocery stores. However, with the number of positive COVID-19 cases in India well over 50,000, the need for prevention and utmost care has become paramount.

    Under such cases, a few things must be kept in mind while you head out to buy essential goods and supplies from the nearest shop. Fortis Hospitalâs Physician and Infectious Disease Specialist, Dr. Anita Mathew shares with us some major pointers to remember while shopping amid the pandemic:

    For those with respiratory issues, it is not advisable to step out. A healthier family member should be given the task.
    Before stepping out, designate a clean and disinfected area to place your items on return; similarly make sure you have a disposal bag in place.

    When outdoors to shop for your groceries, wear a mask at all times, avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose.

    While at a store, maintain at least a three meter distance from other people. If possible, use napkins or wet-wipes to sanitize the handles of the shopping trolleys or carts before you begin shopping; wearing gloves is a good option too.

    It is advisable that before stepping out, make a list of your items to commit to what you have to buy.

    Avoid use of a cell phone when out shopping, touching other surfaces and then the phone can transmit the virus.
    Avoid removing items and stacking them back, pick only those items that you need to buy.

    On returning home, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and after, repeat handwashing after handling and storing your purchased products.

    Discard all possible packaging, remove all items like vegetables and fruits and store in clean and sanitized containers; for packaged items, wipe the outside with a sanitized wet towel.

    It is recommended to wash the fruits and vegetables for at least 20 seconds.

    Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly after touching any frequently-touched surface or objects including money, elevator buttons, shopping cart handles, door knobs, switches, etc. Respiratory droplets expelled from an infected person can contaminate and persist on surfaces.

    Gaming smartphones are readily available in the market these days. Some of them offer great value for money, while others are just meh. But overall, it's safe to say that they're a lot of fun to use. 
    But did you know that gaming phones were readily available back in the day when smartphones weren't even a thing?
    Well, let's take a look at them real quick:
    1. Nokia N-Gage © Nokia Phones Collection
    This particular device came out like half a year after the original N-Gage dropped and it aimed to solve a lot of problems of its predecessor. 

    It also had a bigger display and a clean look overall. It was also comparatively cheaper than its predecessor due to the lack of stereo speakers, FM radio, and MP3 playback.

    We know, we know - Bollywood usually does a terrible job when it comes to horror films. For more than half a century, the films that Bollywood and most other leading film industries have served us have been comical at best, or a sleaze fest at worst, made for a public who couldnât afford internet back in the day and would visit the theatre for their dose of erotica. Not to mention they had some hilariously ominous-sounding name and unbelievably bad visuals.

    © Amazon Prime Video
    With that being said, there have been a few Bollywood horror films that were legitimately scary, and perhaps as scary as anything that Hollywood has to offer, and are a must-watch for Indian cinephiles. Honestly, after watching the films on the list, youâll stop saying that we do not have the potential to make good horror films.
    © Amazon Prime Video
    Here are 5 Bollywood films that legitimately sent shivers down our spine. Mind you though, if youâre looking purely for jumpscares, then this list is not something that would interest you.

    Tumbbad
    Tumbbad is a properly scary horror film, that has been shot beautifully, and has an amazing sound design. But then, you really canât expect anything else from a film that has Anand Gandhi at the helm. Tumbbad works on a number of levels; it is a properly, scary-looking film, with its fair share of surprises, while also diving much deeper into the human psyche. Also, the background scores of the film deserve a special mention. Certainly one of the best sounding films on this list.
    13B: Fear Has a New Address
    If you thought that a Horror film absolutely has to show a ghost to be considered scary, 13B proves you wrong. There certainly are some issues with the film - it has some eerie similarities to a lot of Hollywood horror films that came out in the 60s, and at times feels a little slow-paced. However, R Madhavanâs acting chops, plus the proper manner in which it toys with your mind is worth the watch. The film has a really hard-hitting twist ending which has been the subject of debate for the filmâs fans. 
    Ghoul
    Technically, Ghoul isnât a, but a mini-series. However, given the fact that it comprises of 3 episodes of 45-50 mins each, and it was intended to be released as a film, is the reason why we have placed it on the list. Just like Tumbbad, Ghoul too works on a number of films and very saliently hints at what effects certain factors can have on the mind, especially when it is not in a healthy space. Again, the film has its fair share of jumpscares and some cliched elements from the horror genre, but most of the fear that one experiences while watching the film, do not come from the surprise elements, but the narrative of the film, and the manner in which certain aspects within the narrative are treated with. And we have to mention just how eerie the visual aspects and the sound design of the film is, which adds its own character to the film.
    The House Next Door
    People who say that Bollywood filmmakers cannot possibly match the craft with which Australian and Hollywood filmmakers make horror films, ought to watch The House Next Door. The film has everything that you would expect from a top-notch horror film - a genuinely scary plot, some really masterfully created CGI & sound design, and a number of performances that leave you gasping for breath. Honestly, guys, if youâre a fan of horror films and havenât watched this one, you donât know what youâre missing out on.
    Bhoot
    Before Ram Gopal Verma went batshit crazy, he did give us a few really good and critically acclaimed films, that went on to become cult classics. Bhoot, is one of those cult classics. The film is properly scary, with a very tight and well-written screenplay, contrite cinematography, and an amazing performance by Urmila Matondkar. The sound design could have been better, but at least it isnât comical and does its job just well enough.
    Trust us, if youâre looking for a viewing list that sends shivers down your spine throughout the weekend, this list pretty much sorts you out.

    Mere hours after dropping the hottest, freshest roast you can find on YouTube, Indian Youtuber CarryMinati has, seemingly, once again made history for Indiaâs Youtube Community. 
    Not only has he put legions of TikTok hopefuls on their backs after a brutal, savage verbal smackdown - heâs done so while zooming past previous Indian YouTube records.

    After thousands of fans began to post memes and support for CarryMinatiâs dismantling of TikTok, the posts began to turn from laughter to downright surprise and amazement, as the views and likes began to pile on.
    First, the video shot past the 5 million likes mark in just a day - seemingly a record for Indian YouTube:

    â MAYANK (@Mayank_kul06) May 9, 2020
    This is even more impressive considering that the streamer/comedianâs videos have mostly organic growth instead of being promoted online the way many other channels are. 

    As of today, the like-dislike ratio on the video is within a hairâs breadth of 100 - a sign that people are here for the content, and stayed for it too, further pushed by the 1 million+ subscribers who signed up for CarryMinatiâs updates in the space of a single video.
    @CarryMinati omg Ajeyyyyyy You got 10 to 12 million subscribers it didn't even been 24 hours And Millions Likes congratulations Carryminati Channel is Always been in My heart since you started it I'm very happy to see this ð­ð­â¤ pic.twitter.com/9CVzYHS6J9

     Following this feat, the video finally capped off the 24-hour mark at over 20 million views, an easy personal best for CarryMinati.

    Despite the immense popularity of this video, it seems like the YouTuber, whose real name is Ajey Nagar, isnât just your everyday run-of-the-mill kind.

    Having kicked off his channel at the age of ten, heâs had a long crawl to the top.

    Not only has he become one of the most successful YouTubers in the business, heâs also done some pretty cool stuff along the way, such as interviewing Tom Cruise and making it into TIME Magazineâs âNext Generation Leaders 2019â list, alongside teen activist Greta Thunberg and American actress Tessa Thompson.
    We canât wait for the next roast, seriously.

    Former Australian skipper David Warnerâs love for India is no news. 
    We have often witnessed Warner speak fondly of our country, people and culture, so much so that he even named his second child Indi Rae, inspired by India.
    View this post on Instagram#bullsdaycare ðð caption this?? ð¸ cred: @candywarner1A post shared by (@davidwarner31)
    True to his admiration for all things Indian, David Warner is taking the Coronavirus downtime to explore more of Indiaâs cultural offerings. And he is doing that by making dance videos on Hindi and South-Indian songs and sharing them on social media with his fans. 
    The recent addition to that list of performances includes the latest version of a Tamil song titled âInji Idupazhagiâ from the 1992 movie Thevar Magan featuring Kamal Haasan and Revathi.  
    The video features Warnerâs wife Candice and Indi, who can be seen grooving to the new version of the song.
    View this post on InstagramWe are back again!! #challenge #family #boredinthehouse #isolation @candywarner1A post shared by (@davidwarner31)
    Now, those dance moves and all are great, but did you notice Warnerâs make-shift lungi? Man, I cannot unsee that hair-tie knot and thigh-high slit! It definitely takes the trophy in this one.
    Also, for those of you interested in checking out the original song, give it a listen below.
     
     A little trivia, if you havenât been able to identify it, this is the same song which inspired âPayalay Chunmun Chunmunâ from the movie Virasat which was the Bollywood adaptation of Thevar Magan.
     
    Also, weâd recommend you check out Warnerâs other recent performances which include Allu Arjunâs Telugu hit number âBottabommaâ.

    The video conferencing app Zoom has seen a massive surge in users, given that many people continue to stay home during the COVID-19 global quarantine.

    Originally designed to function as a meeting place for, well, remote business meetings, the app has been witnessing explosive growth over the past few months. 
    Many new Zoom users are just regular people who are using the platform to talk to friends or take an exercise class - or even get together to wish someone a happy birthday - myself included. 
    © Reuters
    âWe have grown from 10 million participants a day to over 300 million participants a day on our platform and thatâs happened in a period of 12 weeks,â Zoomâs India head and General Manager Sameer Raje told indianexpress.com in an interview. âIndia, in that, is quite a significant chunk.â 

    Along with this growth, however, weâve to also consider the risk of abuse and potential security leaks - similar to the 2019 scare with Chinese social media app TikTok.
    The Rise of âZoom-Bombingâ © Unsplash
    This sudden surge in Zoom users beyond the appâs traditional business base has led to major security issues such as âZoom bombing,â which sees uninvited guests join your meeting or chat. 


    The phenomenon became so prevalent that it has its own Wikipedia page. 
    All throughout April, several incidences of Zoom-bombing took place across the world - sometimes, students with a mischievous streak would share Zoom links with strangers on social media platforms, encouraging them to disrupt digital classrooms. 
    © Unsplash
    CNET published an article claiming that by searching for Zoom.us links on Google, anyone could easily crash an unprotected business meeting. 
    This hasnât spared even governmental authorities. Just a day ago, a virtual meeting of South African lawmakers was disrupted by hackers who flooded the video call with pornographic images - and hurled racial and sexual insults at Thandi Modise, who is the speaker of the National Assembly (and host of said Zoom call). 
    The Indian government hasnât taken these concerns lightly - last month, the Cyber Coordination Centre (CyCord), under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in India, issued an advisory warning government officials to avoid using the Zoom platform for official purposes, citing it as unsafe.
    © Reuters
    The advisory also listed certain guidelines for safe usage of Zoom by private entities and individuals for unofficial purposes - meaning us. 

    âWhen it comes to Indian customers, I would say they are unique and they need a personal touch,â continued Raje, who has had experience with companies such as Cisco Webex, IBM and Microsoft in the past. 
    âWe are working with different divisions, different ministries of the government. Our goal is to communicate the right things to them, share our requisite privacy, security and the technical aspects of our platform and help them to get the right decisions and thereby communicate the same to the masses. We are in the process of doing that and that will continue to do so,â he continued. 
    So, How Has Zoom Responded?As far as rising up to the threat of hackers and meeting disruptors, Zoom has done a fairly good job with making sure that the incidents will not repeat themselves. So, perhaps the governmentâs concerns might be redacted much like how they changed their mind on TikTok.  
    The most recent update has introduced three major changes which Zoom hopes will cut down on security lapses and misuse.
    © Reuters
    Firstly, Zoom has made passwords mandatory for all meetings. This helps cut out instances of Zoombombing and has been placed under effect from May 9th. 

    Second, the platform has made âwaiting roomsâ a default feature for all Zoom calls. This allows the host to manually let people into the meeting, allowing unwanted guests to be kicked by call hosts. While this means itâll take slightly longer to enter your meeting, it's certainly worth it for the security and privacy benefits. 
    Finally, Zoom has also introduced another on-by-default feature - screen sharing for hosts only. A common tactic used by hackers and trolls was to join a call and screen share pornography or other embarrassing or unwanted content. By adding this extra line of defence, the company hopes to prevent any such meeting mishaps in the future.

    Thatâs not all. Zoom CEO Eric Yuan has adopted a â90-day planâ to help make the platform as secure as possible, with more security updates on the way. Heâs even spearheaded a move to acquire New York-based tech security startup Keybase, which will allow all calls to enjoy end-to-end encryption, making every conference absolutely leak-proof. 

    On the Indian front, Zoom recently allowed all paying customers to choose the data centres or the geography where they want their data to go to. Raje says the feature has been rolled out after the feedback they got from India where restricting data flow to certain countries is a concern.
    âWe are working on a lot of Indian requirements which will get embedded in the platform, but itâs too premature to talk about them right now,â Raje said. âBut yes, we are working on a lot of initiatives.â

    Catching suspected criminals is one of the most obvious duties the police everywhere in the world is expected to perform. While many believe the chase to be exciting, cops will tell you otherwise.
    Just like in a recent case of chasing after a suspect in Scotland, when the local police found themselves in a âsmellyâ situation. 
    The West Bassetlaw Police were trying to trace a suspect for two offences who had been giving them a run. However, it was his loud fart which finally helped the police track the suspect and put him behind bars.

    After a long foot chase in the neighbourhood, the suspect ran into a forest and tried to hide behind the bushes. The suspect would have succeeded to give the cops a miss yet again, had it not been for this ill-timed fart that escaped him.

    This is what one of the police officers involved with the arrest said, âI was almost out of wind running but luckily the suspect still had some. I heard him letting rip and followed the noises to a bush.â 
    Read all about the incident in detail here:

    This update had people cracking up and some even commended the police for their sense of humour and said, âWho says coppers dont have a sense of humour (sic)â.  
    And speaking of cops and humour, how can we forget about our very own desi, Dabangg cop Chulbul Pandey, who had given a very ominous threat to Chedi Singh and said, âHum tum mein itne ched karenge, ki confuse ho jaoge ke saans kahan se le aur paade kahan se.â

    This situation definitely seems like Chulbulâs threat come to life for the unsuspecting criminal, who ended up getting caught because he couldnât control his ill-timed fart.

    Chances are if youâre a follower of Ajey Nagar, better known as CarryMinati to a legion of over 12 million subscribers on YouTube, youâre familiar with his over-the-top, no-holds-barred roasts on everything from amateur Indian rappers to Bigg Boss. 
    This time, however, the YouTuber took the gloves off and delivered a straight 12-minute, fury-filled roasting - and itâs probably the best one weâve heard yet.

    Amassing over 15 million views in just under a day, itâs no surprise that CarryMinatiâs roast rang far and wide through Indian social media. 
    The feud kicked off when TikTok celebrity Amir Siddiqui uploaded a video, in which he criticised Indiaâs YouTube community. 
    Amir has been uploading skits, callouts and other videos on his platform for over a year at this point with many of them amassing millions of views - although itâs safe to say that the video below will be his most famous one, even though it was taken down, eventually.

    This clearly was a huge mistake - and with absolutely no shortage of cringe-worthy TikTok videos to make fun of, CarryMinati had plenty of ammunition ready and aimed back at the social media influencer, who tore Amir apart on everything from his poorly-worded criticism to the community of influencers he belongs to.
    It gained so much traction that by Saturday morning, over 20 thousand Indians had tweeted in support of #BanTikTokInIndia - certainly, a cause that the YouTuber seems happy to champion.
    Meanwhile, CarryMinati fans and TikTok detractors alike celebrated the videoâs success with a ton of memes. Literally hundreds of them.

    Itâs hard to believe that itâs already been 10 days since Irrfan Khan left this world for a better place.  
    But as much as weâd like to think it was for the best, there is no denying that none of us have been able to accept his passing away wholeheartedly. 
    View this post on InstagramHe had given soul and heart to everything what he did.. #irrfan #ripirrfansir #ripirrfanA post shared by (@sutapa.sikdar.official)
    Family, friends and fans aside, even Irrfanâs co-stars have been mourning his loss to this day and one such doting co-star happens to be Deepika Padukone.  
    We had often seen Irrfan and Deepika greet each-other fondly on multiple occasions, be it on-set, public events or even during media interactions.

    So, when Deepika shared an unseen video of Irrfan and herself from the sets of Piku with a heartfelt message, all we could think of was âthatâs exactly what we want to tell Irrfan tooâ.

    Irrfan had not only managed to grow his own dedicated fan-base, but also managed to touch thousands of lives through his kindness, skill and a genuine heart.  
    Irrfanâs loss is profound and irreplaceable and even now, people are constantly reminded of the kind of human being that Irrfan was. 
    Yesterday too, Deepika took to her Instagram account to reminisce about her Piku co-star on the occasion of the filmâs 5-year anniversary.  
    She shared a happy picture from the shooting days and followed it with the lyrics of âLamhe Guzar Gayeâ from the movie, which was so poignant, given the current situation.

    This is yet another reminder that we might never be able to make peace with Irrfan's untimely passing. Not today. Not tomorrow or in the years to come.  
    Irrfan has taken a piece of our heart with himself, and we will have to learn to live with it. We will learn to think of him every time the missing piece resurfaces in the form of memories captured on the reel.

    Getting to the top is one thing. Staying there, thatâs a whole ânother story - one that two Bollywood personalities know better than any other. 

    While several have come and gone, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan have both stood the test of time - leaving behind a legacy of films, legions of fans and as weâll see below - lots and lots of valuable things. 
    Letâs take a look at their wealth report cards under the microscope:
    1. Net Worth This oneâs pretty straightforward - while Aamirâs net worth tops off at a very formidable $150 million or roughly Rs 1,142 Crore, Shah Rukh Khanâs many investments in film production, sports teams and his especially large bevvy of international brand ambassadorships have brought his spending power to the stratospheric level of over $600 million or just about Rs 4,570 Crore.
    This makes him one of the richest entertainers to ever set foot on Earth. 
    2. Cars © YouTube
    When it comes to cars, both Aamir and Shah Rukh share a common fondness for British luxury carmakers Rolls-Royce. Shah Rukh prefers the extremely exclusive Rs 7+ Crore Phantom Convertible, while Aamir prefers the sportier, nimbler Ghost, which clocks in at about Rs 6+ Crore.

    For their daily drives, both prefer German sedans, though brand choice varies here. Aamir rides in a bulletproof Mercedes-Maybach S600, at a bank-breaking Rs 10+ Crore. 

    If weâre looking at their favourite performance vehicles, Aamir seems to rely on Bentleyâs Continental GT Flying Spur - a 620 horsepower fusion of luxury and speed that comes with a Rs 3.6 Crore price tag. His counterpart, however, owns a car that once shattered the speed record for road-legal vehicles - the legendary Bugatti Veyron, which cost him around Rs 12 Crore. 
    3. Properties © Twitter @black_knightt__
    Perhaps the most famous residence in Mumbai behind the Ambanisâ Antilla, SRKâs sea-facing Mannat was purchased from a local Parsi family for about Rs 13.32 Crore in 2001, and today the property is valued at roughly Rs. 200 Crore. 

    The actor also owns various other homes in Dubai and London, the most valuable being his Palm Jumeirah âK-93 Signatureâ villa which cost Rs 24 Crore, followed by a house in Londonâs Park Lane, which cost him Rs 172 Crore.

    Aamir Khanâs own repertoire of properties isnât far behind either. His often-used pair of Bandra residences in Mumbai are worth a combined Rs 75 Crore, while a local holiday home in nearby Panchgani costs about Rs 7 Crore. 

    If Aamirâs thinking of heading stateside for a holiday, thereâs always the option of his 70 Crore holiday home at Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
    4. Box Office Returns © Reuters
    While thereâs no easy way to figure out whoâs the better actor, one way we can match things up is by the figures behind both actorsâ most successful films.


    SRKâs most successful film to date is 2013âs Chennai Express, which made nearly Rs 396 Crore.

    On the other hand, Aamir Khanâs Dangal made a whopping Rs 2023 Crore at the box office, shattering the record previously held by yet another Aamir-starrer, PK.

    Trust me - if youâve lived away from family during this lockdown, chances are that youâve become incredibly homesick over the last couple of months, and for many of us, having a quick word with our loved ones and particularly our mothers, has been helping us get by during these trying times.
    With Motherâs Day just around the corner on this Sunday (May 10th), itâs important to remember that many of our moms have had a rough time as well. 
    Setting aside their worries should be a top priority on their special day, and while the pandemic might get in the way of grand gestures, sometimes, itâs the little things that make the biggest difference. 
    Weâve got suggestions here that can give you some ideas whether youâre holed up with family or riding solo through the quarantine - so get that notepad out, itâs time to make some Motherâs Day plans:
    1.  A Quick Home Salon © Unsplash
    Much of the frustration from being stuck under a lockdown can get pent up with hardly any place to go. 

    Fortunately, if youâre living with your mother, all it takes is a little YouTube gyaan and a few salon tools - weâre talking clippers, scrubs, lotion and nail files - and around an hour to spend giving your mom the spa treatment, and hopefully some fun conversation while youâre at it.
    2. Tidy Yourself Up First © Red Chillies Entertainment
    If youâre looking to go the extra mile, or simply are socially distanced from your mother, thereâs one grand gesture you can do that ought to put a smile on her face. 

    Grab that razor, ditch the scruffy quarantine beard and if youâre really looking to surprise her, maybe itâs time for a haircut - which, as it seems, is surprisingly simple to get done at home with the right pair of scissors, a comb and a trimmer/clipper. 
    Bonus points if sheâs a Main Hoon Na fan, which brings us to...
    3. Watch Her Favourite Movies With Her © Unsplash
    This one is super simple, fun, and easy to do whether youâre living together or apart - just remember to get the popcorn if youâre lucky enough to be around her. 

    Childhood favourites with your mom are the best bet here - or even some yesteryear classics that might be a first-time watch for you. 
    If youâre socially distanced, a good idea would be to set up a co-streaming services such as Metastream or Netflix Party, both of which are easy to install and completely free.
    4. Whip Out A Handwritten Note © Unsplash
    Yet another option that you can pull off near or far, thereâs nothing that quite says âI love youâ the way a handwritten note does. 

    Slip this in with her favourite breakfast if youâre around, and if not, you can always rely on instant courier services such as Dunzo or Swiggy Genie to deliver them - or simply send in the sweetest good morning letter possible through an uploaded image.
    5.  Video Collages

    Another good option while away is to remind your mom of all the good times youâve had pre-lockdown, and all it takes is a bit of time to find the right memories and use Googleâs photo collage option, highlighted above. 
    Take a bit of help from other family members too if the photos arenât on hand - taking your mother down memory lane is sure to bring back some much-needed nostalgia.
    If all goes well, youâre definitely in for a super-happy Motherâs day, come tomorrow.
