Add some emotional heirloom touch If you've been waiting to repurpose your grandmother's or mother's old saree or lehenga, then this is an ideal time to channel it. Opt for a traditional heirloom touch and complement the look with rusty temple jewellery with a heavy accessory deck and stunning hairstyle show. Do not overshadow the bride with your glow, but try to keep a subtle balance and steal the show. Captured!

Anime scripts real-life lessons for Gen Z
Chennai: For many teenagers and young adults, watching anime is not just a hobby. A growing number of Gen Z in the city are building identities around the anime characters they admire. These characters may be fictional, but the influence is very real. They speak like them, dress like them, and in some cases, even try to live like them. Whether it's Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan, Thorfinn from Vinland Saga, Naruto or Sung Jinwoo, these characters serve as emotional anchors and tools for self-reflection for many. During a conversation with TOI, Class VIII student R Monika, who wants to be an IAS officer, says anime helps shape her worldview. She calls her sister "Anita-san," using the Japanese honorific, and slips in words such as "konichiwa" while talking. "When Eren Yeager's true intentions are revealed in Attack on Titan, I realized how cruel and oblivious people can be. We must try to make the world a better place to live for everyone irrespective of the race, religion, caste and culture. I will try my best to make that a reality." A recent study shows that for many in the 18–28 age group, anime is now a lifestyle. Japanese words such as "senpai" and "arigato" find their way into everyday conversations. Some wear anime-themed shirts while others proudly call themselves "otakus" or "weebs". For one teen, the anime Naruto offered comfort and clarity. "My brother topped his school, he's always been a bright student. I was not so. I wanted to get validation from my parents, much like Naruto," he said. "The character is energetic, brave, and never gives up, even when people around him doubt him. Naruto dreams of becoming the strongest ninja, the hokage, to earn respect." Adults, too, are inspired by these stories. M Karthik, a 24-year-old MNC employee, said anime helped him manage his anger. "I used to be short-tempered," he said. "I've lost my cool and even gotten into fights. A college friend introduced me to anime, and the first one I watched was Vinland Saga." The story of Thorfinn, a young Viking on a journey of revenge and eventual redemption, made him rethink his views on violence. "The story shows how violence affects people and questions the meaning of true strength. As Thorfinn grows, he dreams of a peaceful land called Vinland," Karthik said. Psychologist Shrishti Yadav says this connection has roots in behavioural science. "A theory by Albert Bandura explains this. Compared to those who watch soap operas, anime viewers often adopt behaviour, appearance and moral framing of characters they admire," she said. "However, over-reliance on anime for emotional regulation can hinder the development of real-world coping skills," Yadav said. "Addictive viewing patterns might contribute to issues such as depression and anxiety in vulnerable individuals, and in extreme cases, blur lines between fiction and reality," she added.

What is reverse catfishing? Gen Z's new dating strategy to find real love
Traditional use of dating apps has always been about showing off, looking attractive, richer, and cooler than you are. Setting up your profile on a dating app requires lots of effort, filtered and digital edits, and an enhanced version of reality. But now Gen Z's new ways to win genuine matches have changed. People are taking a completely contrasting approach on dating apps to find their perfect matches. This is called 'reverse catfishing'. It is a dating strategy where users intentionally upload raw, imperfect, and unfiltered pictures of themselves to find their match. What is 'reverse catfishing' Reverse catfishing refers to posting unfiltered, raw photos and toning down your accomplishments intentionally to find the perfect match. This new concept flips the script on traditional dating app culture by ditching curated perfection and embracing authenticity. The users are prioritising emotional connection now over superficial attraction. It involves keeping your profile as real as possible, without any false information, sometimes even highlighting your flaws. This approach seeks genuine matches who appreciate and accept the imperfections of the other person, marking a shift towards emotional connection and meaningful relationships. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Reason behind the rise of the 'reverse catfishing' trend A survey was conducted by QuackQuack, a dating app, from the beginning of April among 7,463 daters between the ages of 18 and 27. The users came from different regions and belonged to different career fields, including IT, healthcare, education, content creation, and more. According to the survey, 2 in 5 Gen Z populations are embracing 'reverse catfishing'. Gen Z daters are focusing on keeping everything real, and reverse catfishing is their way of just doing the same. They have moved on from creating highly curated profiles and are looking for genuine connections. Simplicity and authenticity are the key, whether it's about sharing passions for fitness, foodie adventures, dance, or music festivals, concerts, or anything else. Reverse catfishing marks a refreshing shift- not trying to impress someone by putting out false information, just being themselves. They'd rather find someone who loves them for who they are, accepting flaws and all. "Reverse catfishing is still very new. We think it's a love letter to emotional intelligence. Who, other than an emotionally sorted and extremely secure person, would dare to play it down on purpose? It shows that young daters are more interested in finding the right match than impressing the wrong one. They are looking for more than surface-level attractions, even if that means they have to let go of their 'Insta-worthy' lifestyle for that,' says Ravi Mittal, founder and CEO of QuackQuack. As per the survey conducted, 28% of participants preferred going for matches that don't have a perfect profile picture and a well-framed bio that looks straight out of an AI chatbot.
