“The Fragrance Of Tradition”: Anand Mahindra’s Post On 108-Year-Old Soap Brand Goes Viral | Watch

December 23, 2024, 3:22 am

Anand Mahindra, chairman of the Mahindra Group, recently took to X to applaud Mysore Sandal Soap, a heritage brand manufactured by Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited (KSDL). Renowned for its use of pure sandalwood oil, the soap has been a cherished part of Indian households since its launch in 1916.

KSDL, a state-owned enterprise, produces around 10 to 12 lakh bars daily to cater to the unwavering demand from its loyal customers. The brand had MS Dhoni as its ambassador in the past.

Sharing a video that highlighted the soap’s manufacturing process, Mahindra expressed, “Overwhelmed by nostalgia upon seeing this clip. Delighted to see that it survives—and thrives. Going to start buying it again and inhaling the fragrance of tradition.”

The video shared by Anand Mahindra was created by Bengaluru-based content creator Shiva Rai and has garnered over 23.8 million views on Instagram. Mahindra’s post on X has already amassed over five lakh views.

Reacting to the post, one user commented, “Mysore sandal is one of the best soaps available without any chemicals that negatively affect your testosterone levels (xenoestrogens). Every Indian should give them a try!”

Another user wrote, “It’s one of the best product available in the market, no one matches it till date. Definitely worth every penny spent on it.”

A third user shared, “It is iconic, vintage, Mysore Maharaja sent his scientist to UK to study soap technology and set up this factory, in 60s it was a soap used by families, economical with good fragrance, definitely this factory has to be preserved and its products should be sold pan India and globally.”

In March 2023, the arrest of Prashanth Madal, the son of former BJP MLA and ex-chairman of Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Ltd (KSDL), Madal Virupakshappa, in a cash-for-contracts case brought the state-run company and its iconic soap brand into the spotlight.

Ram Gopal Varma Calls For Protest Against Allu Arjun’s Arrest, Cites Sridevi Incident

December 20, 2024, 11:23 am

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has voiced his support for Telugu star Allu Arjun following his recent arrest, which came after a tragic stampede during the Hyderabad premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule. The incident at Sandhya Theatre claimed the life of a female fan and left several others injured. Criticizing the arrest, Varma called it unjust and urged actors to protest against holding celebrities accountable for the consequences of their popularity.

In a series of posts on his X account (formerly Twitter), Varma defended Arjun, questioning whether being immensely popular is a crime. He wrote, “Every STAR should STRONGLY protest against @alluarjun’s ARREST… is it a crime for them to be ENORMOUSLY POPULAR??” Drawing a comparison to a similar tragedy, Varma recalled an incident during the filming of his movie Kshana Kshanam with Sridevi, where a massive crowd resulted in the deaths of three fans. He sarcastically questioned whether the police would now arrest the late actress in heaven for that incident.

In response to the tragedy, Allu Arjun pledged Rs. 25 lakh to the family of the deceased fan. His father, producer Allu Aravind, also visited an injured boy on a ventilator and assured the media that his condition was improving.

Diljit Dosanjh recently reacted to the advisory issued ahead of his concert in Mumbai. Speaking candidly through an emotional video on Instagram, he told the audience that he had indeed requested his team if they’d face any issues the previous day. But instead of getting a response from them, the news woke him up-in the form of the advisory. Smiling, he reassured fans, saying, “All advisories are for me, but you’re here to have fun, and I’ll make sure you do.

Drawing inspiration from the mythological tale of Sagar Manthan, Diljit reflected on how Lord Shiva held poison in his throat without letting it affect him. He said this lesson taught him never to internalize the negativity life throws at you. “Mujhe toh yahi sikhne ko mila ki zindagi aur duniya aap pe jitna marzi zeher phenke woh isko kabhi bhi apne andar mat lejana (No matter how much poison people throw, don’t let it get inside you. Don’t let anything disturb your work or inner peace)” he advised.

Diljit added a humorous twist by mimicking a famous dialogue from Pushpa: The Rise and captioned his video, “The positive you see in me is a reflection of you.” On Instagram, he also posted snippets from his Mumbai tour, captioning it, “Mumbai I Rise Above Your Advice .

YouTube Fail: Indian Woman Walks Away After Investing Rs 8 Lakh in 3 Years

December 19, 2024, 10:30 am

Nalini Unagar, an Indian woman who spent three years building her food YouTube channels, has announced her decision to step away from the platform. Despite investing significant time and money into her venture, Unagar’s channels did not meet her expectations, leading her to give up on her YouTube career. In a heartfelt post shared on X (formerly Twitter), she offered to sell her kitchen accessories and studio equipment, explaining her decision to move on.

“I failed in my YouTube career, so I’m selling all my kitchen accessories and studio equipment. If anyone is interested in buying, please let me know,” Unagar wrote, accompanied by pictures of her kitchen setup. The post also outlined her financial losses, as she shared that she had spent Rs 8 lakh over three years with no returns.

Investment of Time and Money, but No Results

Unagar had poured considerable resources into her two YouTube channels: Nalini’s Kitchen Recipe and Food Facts By Nalini. While her recipe channel had just over 2,400 subscribers, her food facts channel had a more substantial following of 11,000 subscribers. Despite this, the returns remained meager, with no recognition or financial gain, prompting her to delete all her content and cease making videos.

— Nalini Unagar (@NalinisKitchen) December 18, 2024

In a follow-up post, Unagar shared that she had invested approximately Rs 8 lakh into her channels, including building a kitchen studio, purchasing equipment, and promoting her content. However, the lack of engagement and support from the platform led her to reflect on the unpredictable nature of online content creation.

The Emotional Toll and Reflections on Online Platforms

In her emotional post, Unagar expressed frustration with the platform, admitting that she had sacrificed a lot, including her time and career, to create content. “I’m honestly angry with YouTube. I spent my money, time, and even risked my career to build my channel, but in return, YouTube gave me nothing,” she wrote.

Let me confess today—I have invested approximately ₹8 lakhs in my YouTube channel for building a kitchen, buying studio equipment, and promotions. The return? ₹0.

— Nalini Unagar (@NalinisKitchen) December 18, 2024

Unagar explained that she felt YouTube favoured certain types of content and channels, which left others, like hers, struggling for visibility. “Online platforms require a bit of luck too, so it’s wise not to rely on them as a primary source of income. Your ‘shop’ can shut down before you even wake up the next day,” she said.

Despite her decision to quit, Unagar received overwhelming support from people who urged her not to give up. Many advised her to continue her content creation journey, even if it meant trying new platforms or methods.

A Cautionary Tale About the Uncertainty of Online Careers

Nalini Unagar’s experience serves as a cautionary tale about the challenges faced by content creators on platforms like YouTube. Despite investing heavily in her channels, the unpredictable nature of social media success left her feeling disheartened. This story highlights the importance of diversifying income sources and being aware of the risks that come with building a career on digital platforms.

Diljit Dosanjh Responds To ‘Punjab Vs Panjab’ Controversy: ‘Stop Spreading Lies’

December 16, 2024, 1:56 pm

Finally, Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh has responded to the controversy over his recent tweet in which he used the term ‘Panjab’ instead of ‘Punjab.’ The tweet, which was posted ahead of his concert in Chandigarh, had sparked a flurry of reactions online, with many netizens accusing the singer of promoting a term used on the Pakistani side of Punjab.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Diljit explained that the spelling of the word ‘Punjab‘ as ‘Panjab‘ had nothing to do with conspiracy but was merely the meaning of the word as historically used. He addressed his critics, saying, “If the tricolour is missed once while writing a Punjab mention in a tweet, it‘s called a conspiracy. Even in a tweet onBengaluru, it was missed once.

Agar ਪੰਜਾਬ Ko PANJAB Likha toh Conspiracy

PANJAB Ko Chaye PUNJAB likho..

If Punjab is written as Panjab, it‘s called a conspiracy.” Diljit claimed that the name ‘Panjab’ is the shortening for the five rivers that delineate this region and pointed out the fact that whether it‘s written as Panjab or Punjab, it will still stay ‘ਪੰਜਾਬ’ in Punjabi script.

Diljit’s Strong Rebuttal to Critics

He was also bashing those accusing him of supporting Pakistan as his term has been ‘Panjab‘ in the future. He added, “To those making conspiracies about English spellings from the language of foreigners — well done! I‘ll start writing in Punjabi in the future.ਪੰਜਾਬ. He also reached to haters telling them to prepare their accusations, said, “I know you won‘t stop. Keep going! How many times should we prove that. We LOVE INDIA.”

Clarification on Tricolour Emoji Controversy

In the ‘Panjab’ versus ‘Punjab’ spelling row, Diljit was trolled for referring to Punjab without using the tricolour emoji and yet for other cities he used. Reacting to this, the singer had said, “I don‘t bother about them“. But they make the lie seem the truth, and it‘s important to counter them.” His remarks seemed to indicate that while he didn’t intentionally leave out the emoji, he felt a need to correct the misinformation being spread.

The Backlash and Support

The controversy started when Diljit announced his upcoming concert in Chandigarh by putting the name of the region as ‘Panjab’ instead of‘ Punjab.’ Some users took it lightly and pointed out that ‘Panjab’ is used to refer to the region in Pakistan, and alleged that the singer was promoting the Pakistani version. However, the fans and supporters of the singer stood by him for his right to use the word as he wanted.

Diljit did not waver; he maintained that his love for India and his roots in Punjab was never under question. With a flair for Punjabi culture and an outspoken follower of Indian values, Diljit stated that no form of online trolling would suppress his true self.

Despite the backlash, Diljit has proven that he is unmoved by his critics and the controversy over the ‘Panjab‘ tweet. The more he speaks abouthis cultural identity, the more his supporters rally behind him, affirming that his intentions are rooted in love for his heritage and country.

Vikrant Massey Opens Up About Viral Post On Taking A Break: ‘ I Needed To Prioritize My Life’

December 14, 2024, 12:31 pm

Actor Vikrant Massey, who has made his mark with some fantastic performances in movies and web series, has recently revealed the real reason behind his now-viral post about taking a break from work. He said he chose because he needed to balance his personal and professional lives.

Massey confessed that he had hardly any time for his family and himself because he had been working without any break for a long time. He admitted, “I was not able to spend enough time with my loved ones”, which is why he felt the need to re-evaluate his priorities. He further added that it was hard for him to take breaks and focus on things outside of work due to his busy schedule.

Vikrant said, “The life I had always dreamt of, I finally got it, so I thought it was time to live it. I want to take a break, because, at the end of the day, everything is transient, which is why I am only doing one film next year. Social media pressure was an important part of sharing that break from work post, that I concede.”I lead a public life and am borderline introvert-ish. One has to come to social media. But if someone were to give me an option, I would come selectively on it, whenever I would feel like sharing something.”

Vikrant Massey announced that he is going to take a break. He wrote, “The last few years and beyond have been phenomenal. I thank every one of you for your indelible support. But as I move forward, I realize it’s time to recalibrate and go back home. As a Husband, Father & a Son. And also as an Actor. So, coming 2025, we would meet each other for one last time. Until time deems right. Last 2 movies and many a years of memories. Thank you again. For everything and everything in between. Forever indebted.”
