Khan Sir shares 15K girls tied him rakhi on Raksha Bandhan, thanks them for rising above religion: 'Iss kalyug mein...'
'I am so fortunate'
Khan Sir shared in the video that he considers his female students as his sisters and was overwhelmed by their affection. He shared that their gesture reflects the essence of mentorship and camaraderie that extends beyond blood relations.
His video raked in more than 8 million views on Instagram in less than 24 hours. In it, Khan Sir said in Hindi, 'Today, the number of rakhis tied to my wrist was more than 15,000. These rakhis are so heavy that I am not even able to raise my hand. Iss kalyug mein hum itne saubhagyashali hai (I am so fortunate to have such an experience in today's day and age). How do I even get up? This is so heavy.'
'There can't be a better festival than this'
Khan Sir thanked his students for appreciating him not just as a tutor but also as a brother figure – despite religion or other difference – who supports and guides them in their academic journey. 'These girls ignored caste, religion, states and other factors to tie me rakhis. This shows humanity. There can't be a better festival than this (Raksha Bandhan),' he added.
Raksha Bandhan is a celebration of the sibling bond, where sisters tie a sacred thread (rakhi) around their brothers' wrists, symbolising love, trust, and protection. Brothers, in return, pledge to safeguard their sisters and offer gifts or tokens of appreciation. The significant Hindu festival emphasises love, responsibility, and respect between siblings. Raksha Bandhan 2025 was celebrated on August 9, Saturday.

Actress Sonali Bendre and her filmmaker husband Goldie Behl 's son, Ranveer Behl, turned 20 years old on Monday. Wishing her son well, the 'Hum Saath-Saath Hain' actress dropped some rare and adorable photos of Ranveer on her official Instagram handle. "No matter how tall you get, you'll always be my little one ...Happy birthday, Rann!" Sonali penned on the photo-sharing app. Veteran actor Anupam Kher also wished him in the comment section with the following words, "Happy Birthday! Wishing you a long and healthy life." Raveena Tandon penned, "Happy happy birthday!" Farah Khan shared, "Awwww happy birthday big boy". Several other celebs, such as Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Manisha Koirala, Namrata Shirodkar, and Sussanne Khan, liked Sonali's post. Sonali and Goldie even hosted a birthday bash for their son at their Mumbai residence last night, which was attended by their close friends. For the unversed, Sonali first met Goldie, son of director Ramesh Behl, on the sets of her 1994 film 'Naaraaz'. The couple tied the knot on November 12, 2002, in Mumbai. In 2005, the couple was blessed with a son. Meanwhile, Sonali recently shared her views on the dramatic shift in relationships and society after the emergence of the internet. She pointed out how generational changes are taking place at a much faster pace in recent times, redefining the way people connect and interact. Speaking with IANS, Sonali shared, "The change is huge! In our time, a generation would change every 20-25 years. Now it feels like it changes every three years. Everything has turned upside down. The internet has transformed how people live and connect." Talking about the younger generation's fast-paced approach to love, marriage, and divorce, she added that giving advice to today's youth is often pointless, as they feel they already know everything. "I don't think anyone can really advise youngsters, and those who try usually fail (smiles). They believe they know everything. They have Google and ChatGPT – every answer is at their fingertips," Sonali concluded.

Taylor Swift fans spot big new hints she's the mystery New Heights guest
The New Heights podcast just threw Swifties into a frenzy and Taylor Swift's own camp might be egging them on. It all began with a cryptic 'VERY special guest' teaser from brothers Travis and Jason Kelce. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Harmless? Maybe. But then Taylor Nation reposted it, and Republic Records hit like on Instagram. Yeah, they knew what they were doing. New Heights podcast teaser hints at possible Taylor Swift appearance The Kelce brothers dropped their weekly promo like any other Tuesday, except this one came with a suspicious amount of dramatic emphasis: a 'VERY special guest' is coming. Travis smirked. Jason played innocent. Fans immediately went full FBI mode, zooming in on facial expressions like they were court evidence. Taylor Nation's new era + Republic Records like = suspicious timing If this was just a random guest, why did Taylor Nation — the official fan engagement account for Swift, put up a cryptic post about a new era? And why did Republic Records tap the like button? Swifties know her team doesn't do casual. Everything is an Easter egg. Even if Taylor isn't the guest, they've successfully sent the fandom spiraling into overdrive. Jason Kelce's playful 'maybe someday' keeps the hope alive During past interviews, Jason Kelce has teased, 'We'd love to have Taylor on… for sure' , but always softens it with a 'maybe someday' disclaimer. It's the kind of coy comment that only fuels speculation especially when paired with the current timing and her relationship with Travis. On social media, it's peak fandom energy. You'll see tweets like 'I'm manifesting Taylor in the studio' next to 'Plot twist: she's next week's guest.' Some fans are even making countdown TikToks. Drama, excitement, and a dash of 'please make it happen.' Swifties aren't exactly subtle right now. TikToks are counting down to the episode. X (Twitter) threads are titled 'THE GUEST IS HER.' And fan accounts are openly begging for confirmation. One viral post summed it up: 'If it's not Taylor, you owe me emotional damages.' No official confirmation yet. But when Taylor Nation and her label start quietly engaging with the content, it's never random. Whether it's this week or six months from now, the New Heights x Taylor Swift crossover feels less like 'if' and more like 'when.' Until then, the refresh button is everyone's best friend.
