There was a time when stardom was a fortress. In the 90s, Ruby Bhatia wasn't just a VJ; she was the electric pulse of a new, liberalised India, reportedly commanding Rs 1 lakh per show. Rahul Roy wasn't just an actor; he was the face of a generation’s collective heartbreak, the Aashiqui boy whose silhouette defined romance and whose haircut was the bestseller in every saloon. Govinda? He was—and is—the undisputed king of the masses, a comic genius who could make a cinema hall shake with a single pelvic thrust. Fast forward three decades, and the fortress has been dismantled by the relentless, voyeuristic machinery of social media. Today, these icons find themselves under the harsh, unforgiving glare of a "content-hungry" digital mob that mistakes struggle for failure and evolution for desperation. Recent headlines have taken a perverse pleasure in dissecting Ruby Bhatia’s career shift. Yes, the woman who once defined "cool" is now a life coach charging Rs 3,000 for a six-month program. To the keyboard warriors, this is a "fall from grace." To any sane mind, it is a woman finding meaning after a nervous breakdown, choosing to make mental health accessible to the masses rather than gatekeeping it for the elite. Similarly, Rahul Roy has been subjected to the "cringe" treatment for appearing in social media reels with unknown creators. The internet, in its infinite cruelty, ignores the fact that this man is a brain stroke survivor. He is fighting aphasia, paying off legal debts that predated his illness, and trying to "stay active" and work for as long as he is alive. When he asks his trolls to find him "decent work" instead of mocking his reels, he isn't showing desperation; he is showing a spine of steel that most "influencers" couldn't dream of possessing. Then there is Govinda, the man who once gave the Khans a run for their money, now frequently seen performing at school annual days and weddings. The "dark shadow" of social media brands these "small shows," as if the size of the stage dictates the stature of the legend. Govinda’s response is a masterclass in humility: "I never let my ego influence my work." Whether it’s a Chief Minister’s event or a local school function, the man dances because he is a performer. There is more dignity in one of his "wedding steps" than in the entire collective output of a thousand anonymous trolls. Social media has birthed a generation of spectators who believe that unless you are at the absolute zenith of your power, you should vanish into the shadows. We have become a culture that feeds on the "tragedy" of the legacy act. But here is the truth: There is nothing sad about a veteran getting up and going to work. There is nothing "cringe" about an icon refusing to be defeated by a health crisis or a shifting industry. The desperation doesn't belong to Ruby, Rahul, or Govinda. The desperation belongs to the social media ecosystem that needs to tear down giants just to feel tall.

The difficulty is after years of distinguished service these gentlemen are dumped in some dog shelter. 👇 We adopted two of them a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Former @CISFHQrs dogs very gentle and very disciplined from a @FriendicoesSECA shelter. The CAPF’s and the other armed Forces must build proper retirement homes for the animals they use. They should not be sent to animal shelters.

Hope history will be kinder to justice Yashwant Verma, I hope they remember him for the great judgments he has delivered and for the great cases he has argued . A legal GENIUS. His drafting and his command over English language was impeccable. Sadly destiny had other plans !

Reading the stories of those who have cracked the UPSC Civil Services Exam is truly heartening. It reminds us that this exam offers a rare platform where people from all walks of life compete on equal footing. Hard work, perseverance and hope can still shape destinies. #UPSC2026

1. Trust the Pakistanis to make a pigsty even out of the @OxfordUnion. And as always, they are genetically incapable of being truthful. So here's the complete story of how this so-called debate played out.

@itsakhilnair This shouldn’t be about BJP or Congress. What is more important is that if such a thing is happening, this has to be stopped by ECI

Yesterday, the BJP revealed the presence of over 5 lakh bogus and duplicate voters in Kerala. Not a single media house reported it. Earlier, the Youth Congress was caught creating thousands of fake Indian ID cards to rig their own organisational elections (1/2)

Scandalous that Air India Crash report being used by western media to blame pilots for cutting fuel. The report does not say that at all. But yes, the report flags an FAA advisory on a problem with Boeing fuel switches locking - in that case why has the report not recommended further investigations against 787 planes?

Happy to have been cited in the Supreme Court judgment on S 6A of the Citizenship Act. More importantly, glad that Chandrachud J accepts that "there is no general principle that the constitutional validity of under-inclusive provisions must be assessed with judicial deference".

@AkalBrar Absolutely.. this has been frequently happening in Kedarnath, too.. The temple committee had taken strong objection and issued warning to social media influences.. but it has hardly acted as any deterrence. It causes a lot of inconvenience and as you say it disturbs the sanctity.

While she might not have any ill intentions but this constant need to pose and promote lifestyles on social media is disturbing sanctity of religious places. If she wants to spread power of yoga, Granth is are always in Padmasana mode while praying.
