In the social media-verse where it is all about getting clicks, reels and instant gratification, privacy is collateral damage. The word 'privacy' is not in the lexicon of that entitled bunch called the paparazzi.

The country's top wrestlers - Olympic medalists, members of wrestling's first family and those on the cusp of greatness - almost 200 men and women protesting in freezing Delhi, in a fight that goes beyond anything they have faced on the mat.

In all this, a shoutout to the one man who stands out - the underrated Abhishek Bachchan - even his dancing comes from a place that appreciates the audience.

Alia walked the white just right and her consistent minimalistic look, interchanging between shades of white, was on point without being over the top.

We are a society that seldom has the pulse of its children. Those who are outraging over the portrayal of a 13-year-old girl in Bombay Begums pretend they see no evil and yet, ironically, talk evil - their public rant against the drama series is the real adult content.

Virat Kohli has done what many other husbands - now battling socially un-distanced family fatigue - were hoping he would not. A giant new awwww moment for the cricket captain who has always described his wife as his better half.

For this generation living in the social media bubble, easy does it and remorse is rarely part of the vocabulary. Some of the boys threatened to leak nudes of the girls who had disclosed the chats on their Instagram stories.

She came, she stood - right among them - and said nothing. She didn't need to. Her presence made her stand clear.

To my younger daughter, we said, ''He has gone to a good place." Unconvinced, she replied, "But this was the best place. With us."

My eyes, my eyes. Is the Met Gala still on, at least for Deepika Padukone? Wasn't the Barbie Meets Princess that went 'camping' recently not enough fabric and horror?

Hardik Pandya is what happens when we give a bunch of classless guys so much importance that they think every woman in the country is waiting for their text message - oh yes, it's the same to everyone!

Now imagine the pressure on Priyanka Chopra when she gets married in Rajasthan in the very near future

Virat Kohli's brilliance as a batsman is globally recognised but he may need to work harder on the masterstroke - to be a more humble person worthy of being idolised by millions, not just in India but also in other cricket-loving countries, two of which he has now asked a fan to go live in.

The Indian Twitterati was bowled over and that's no mean feat these days
