‘Scientific reason' why Sachin Tendulkar should not be Reddit's brand ambassador: Rohan Joshi's video goes viral
However, as per comedian Rohan Joshi, it's a bad idea. His hilarious explanation of why Sachin Tendulkar is the wrong choice as Reddit's brand ambassador has now gone viral.
In an Instagram Reel that has not gained over 1.2 million views, Joshi says Sachin is a legend and deserves all the love, but he's the wrong pick for Reddit.
'He is an icon, obviously one of the greatest people to have ever played the game of cricket and one of the greatest Indian sporting legends of all time. But, l am sorry he can not be the brand ambassador for Reddit for one very simple scientific reason,' Rohan Joshi says in the viral Instagram Reel.
Sachin played 664 international matches over 24 years, which means he spent around 200 days a year outdoors 'touching grass'.
According to Rohan Joshi, Reddit users are known for staying indoors. So, someone as active as Sachin is the complete opposite.
'No one who has gone outside and touched that much grass is allowed to endorse Reddit, just antithetical to its values,' Rohan Joshi concluded with, 'Love you, Sachin.'
Rohal Joshi's video attracted funny reactions.
Fellow comedian Tanmay Bhat wrote, 'BRB, filing FIR on you.'
'I Completely agree with you hence I think the best candidate for this position who meets all the requirements is Rohan Joshi, my vote is with him,' quipped one user.
Another user wrote, 'You really miss Mumbai Police, don't you?'
'Great move Rohan, AIB members talking about Sachin always ends well,' wrote another while hinting at Tanmay Bhat's controversy.
In May 2016, the Mumbai Police was asked to investigate Bhat after BJP leader Ashish Shelar accused Bhat of insulting Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar in a Facebook video.
In the clip, Bhat – the face of now-dissolved comedy group AIB – used face-swap effects to act like both stars and joked about Virat Kohli being better than Tendulkar. His portrayal of Tendulkar also made fun of Lata's age, calling her '5,000 years old'.

Mahavatar Narasimha: A Visual Wonder
Mahavatar Narasimha is a larger-than-life visual wonder. A film with excellent entertainment value, it will surely entertain everyone: Director Ashwin Kumar. Presented by Hombale Films, Cleem Productions' Mahavatar Narasimha is going to deliver a unique cinematic experience with stunning visuals and a powerful story. Mahavatar Narasimha is directed by Ashwin Kumar and produced by Shilpa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai under the banner of Cleem Productions. This visionary animated franchise brings to life the epic story of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu. State-of-the-art animation and Indian mythology-based content promise a never-before-seen cinematic experience. The already released trailer of Mahavatar Narasimha has received a wonderful response. The film will be grandly released in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on July 25 through Geetha Film Distribution. On this occasion, director Ashwin Kumar shared insights about the film at a press conference. Tell us about the Mahavatar Narasimha idea. Mahavatar Narasimha is the first movie in the Mahaavatar Cinematic Universe. The universe was created to present all ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu on a grand canvas. From the beginning, we wanted to make this film in animation. Animation is the best medium to tell the story of Lord Vishnu. Sometimes it is very challenging for actors to portray the role of God. The audience's perception of previous films can affect these characters. That's why we felt animation was the perfect medium for telling epic stories. Why begin with the Narasimha avatar? Every incarnation has its own uniqueness. The incarnation of Narasimha is especially relevant for today's society, particularly the youth. Narasimha Swamy is the protector. We believe that his incarnation will inspire new excitement among audiences in the current times. What inspired you to tell this story? This is not mythology — this is our history. There is a strong need to pass on our history to every generation, especially to children and the youth of today. While making this film, we visited Ahobilam. We believe the blessings of the Lord are with us. We drew this story directly from the scriptures. About Hombale Films? We were thrilled to collaborate with Hombale Films. Their experience with grand-scale films was invaluable. They supported us in every way, loved the film, and provided wonderful guidance. About the music? Sham Sis has composed brilliant music. He brought together an orchestra at an international level. Many talented musicians contributed to this film. The divine music he created evokes powerful emotions throughout the viewing experience. What can we expect from the visuals? You will witness visuals on the big screen like never before. All the war sequences are extraordinary and offer a completely new experience. This film is made on a very high scale — a true visual wonder.

Mannara Chopra pens emotional note, returns to work month after father's death: 'He raised me to rise...'
Actor Mannara Chopra has returned to work and social media following the recent passing of her father, Raman Rai Handa, sharing a moving message that reflects both her sorrow and resilience. The 33-year-old actress, who rose to wider fame after her stint on 'Bigg Boss 17', posted a heartfelt note on Instagram expressing the deep emotional impact of her loss, while also acknowledging the importance of continuing her professional journey. In a post accompanied by images of herself in a white, embroidered lehenga, Chopra wrote, 'How to be brave… when you've lost your world? He raised me to rise — with grace in pain and power in purpose. Posting again, not because I've moved on, but because this is my work. #BackOnTheGram (sic).' The note comes just weeks after her father, Raman Rai Handa, passed away on June 16, 2025 at the age of 72. At the time, Mannara shared the news through an Instagram Story, writing, 'With profound grief and sorrow we inform the sad demise of our loving father, who left us for his heavenly abode on 16/06/2025. He was the pillar of strength for our family (sic).' The last rites were held on June 18 in Mumbai. Her cousin, Priyanka Chopra, also mourned the loss, sharing a touching tribute via Instagram, 'You'll always be in our hearts. Rest easy Raman uncle (fufaji). Om Shanti (sic).' Before returning to work, Mannara posted a message of appreciation to her followers and well-wishers, 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you've shown to me and my family during these tough times. Resuming work now, with gratitude in my heart (sic).' Mannara Chopra's most recent television appearance was in Laughter Chefs – Unlimited Entertainment Season 2. Although she debuted in Bollywood with the 2014 film Zid, which underperformed at the box office, she later found success in South Indian cinema with roles in Thikka, Rogue, and Sita. As she steps back into the spotlight, Mannara's words echo a quiet strength — a reminder that while grief lingers, purpose and perseverance remain her guiding force.
