In a video shot during his birthday celebrations, Balakrishna is dressed in traditional clothes with a tilak on his forehead. As the people next to him urge him to cut the cake, he instead begins flipping the knife multiple times. At one point, one of the people standing next to him even leans back as the knife comes close to them. His security guard also seems to look around, wondering what to do.

Balakrishna's antics made people on the internet crack up, with many cracking jokes about him flipping knives. While some chalked it down to 'over acting over attitude' or 'weird behaviour', others thought the video was hilarious. One Instagram user wrote, 'The uncle next to him is repenting the decision to bring him a cake.' Another agreed, 'He's shivering in case the knife falls on him.'
One called him 'God of Jokerness,' and another joked, 'Security guard confused how to protect balayya from balayya.' An Instagram user even wrote, 'Padmshree was never insulted this badly before.' This is not the first time that Balakrishna's off-screen antics have gone viral on social media. Videos of the actor slapping fans, shoving co-stars out of the way and giving hilarious answers to the press have been viral in the past.
Balakrishna was last seen in the hit film Daaku Maharaaj, which was released in January this year. He is currently shooting for Akhanda 2 with Boyapati Srinu. He will also play a key role in Nelson Dilipkumar's Jailer 2, starring Rajinikanth.

Instagram will soon let you rearrange your profile grid the way you want
Meta-owned social media platform Instagram announced on Thursday, June 12, that it will soon allow users to 're-order the posts' on their grid, giving them more options over how and where their content shows up on their profile. The announcement does not come as a surprise, as Instagram head Adam Mosseri said earlier this year in January that the platform was looking for a way to make profile grids customisable. Instagram was previously spotted working on the feature back in 2022, but eventually ended up scrapping the idea for some time. Until now, all posts on a profile appear in a chronological order, and the only way to make older posts appear at the top of the profile is to pin them. But with the upcoming update, users will be able to make their profiles more aesthetically pleasing and highlight certain content. In a blog post, Mosseri also said that they are testing a new feature that lets users quietly post to their profile 'without broadcasting it to everyone's feeds.' The platform is also expanding Trial Reels to everyone on the platform. Introduced for creators in December last year, Trial Reels enable creators to try 'content that's outside of their niche.' These reels are not visible to a creator's followers but instead show up for random people. Instagram says 40 per cent of creators who used the feature started posting reels more often and saw an 80 per cent uptick in reels reach from non-followers. As for Stories, Instagram will soon get a Rosalia font inspired by her handwriting. Also, Instagram's new Spotify integration allows users to quickly share music they are listening to in real time to Notes. The company also announced that it is launching Drafts, an initiative that will help creators by providing financial support, co-ideation, connections, collaboration opportunities and more.
