Neil Nitin Mukesh says big stars get big movies even after giving 10 flops in a row: ‘But for us, they say your career is over'

Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh has recently opened up about the hurdles he faced in the industry after starting his career in 2007 with 'Johnny Gaddaar'. Neil, who got his breakthrough with Kabir Khan 's 'New York', admitted that the industry has treated him unfairly. He also shared that while some stars continued to get films back-to-back despite multiple flops, he was written off by industry insiders after just a few box office setbacks. Neil Nitin Mukesh about 'unfair' practices in industry Hai Junoon! | Song - Hum The Woh Thi In a conversation on Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel, Neil reflected on how box office results dictate an actor's journey. According to him, critical acclaim is often dismissed if the numbers don't impress. He pointed out that even playing a pivotal role in a high-profile project doesn't necessarily benefit supporting actors—unless they're already established stars. He shared that if a film flops, everyone involved faces the backlash. He called the trend 'unfair'. Notably, he had a major hit with ' Prem Ratan Dhan Payo ', starring Salman Khan . Neil also shared his thoughts on the team effort behind his early success, 'New York'. The film also starred John Abraham and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. 'Like New York, it's not just John's, mine, or Katrina's film. It doesn't belong solely to Kabir Khan—it's a collaborative effort. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Good News: You May Be Richer Than You Think Undo Everyone has put in hard work. All the actors—Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui—it belongs to everyone.' Neil opens up about big stars getting big projects after flop films Neil believes that some stars continue to land big-budget films despite repeated commercial failures. He remarked, 'I've seen a lot of big actors deliver flops, but they keep getting opportunities. But for us, if there are two flops in a row, they say, 'You should stay at home now.' That's the only unfair bit. Didn't he just give 10 flops? Yet you give him his 11th Rs 100 crore film to make a comeback. But here, if two films underperform, they say the career is over. What do you mean, 'career is over'? Even if the films didn't do well, and you were praised for your work, people are ready to write you off almost instantly—and they seem to take pleasure in it.'

Who is Natalie Reynolds? Influencer viral for crying outside TikTok HQ in Los Angeles

A video of influencer c crying outside TikTok's headquarters has gone viral, sparking debate across the internet. Reynolds is a 26-year-old content creator based in Los Angeles. She became popular on TikTok in 2022 with lip-sync and dance videos. Over time, she shifted to prank skits, relationship comedy, and flirty banter with her boyfriend, Zack (real name: Zachary Huelsman). Their playful clips often showed up on users' 'For You' pages. Reynolds has also grown her audience outside of TikTok, she has over 5.5 million YouTube subscribers, around 133,000 Instagram followers and more than 33,000 followers on Kick, where she now livestreams.

In the clip, she's on the phone, visibly upset, asking to be let inside. According to online reports, her TikTok account had been banned, and she was trying to get it back. Some viewers sympathized with her. Others questioned whether it was a real emotional moment or a stunt. So far, neither TikTok nor Reynolds has said why her account was banned. But many online think it may be linked to a controversial video she posted in May. Last month, Reynolds came under fire for a prank video filmed at Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas. In the video, she reportedly offered a homeless woman $20 to jump into the lake. The woman did not know how to swim. Reynolds told her it was part of a 'scavenger hunt' and promised to jump in too—but never did. After the woman entered the water, she shouted that she couldn't swim, only float. A firetruck later arrived, but Reynolds and her group had already left. Viewers were angry and called for legal action. Reynolds later posted follow-up content, showing little concern about the backlash. Even with her TikTok ban, Reynolds is still active on other platforms. She continues to stream on Kick and posts on Instagram and YouTube. Her recent actions have raised questions about how influencers should be held accountable online—and what role platforms should play. Whether Natalie Reynolds bounces back or fades out, one thing is clear: the internet is paying attention.

From Matcha to Ramen: Food Trends Shaped by Social Media

Last Updated: From Matcha tea and chilli oils to ramen and chia seed puddings: How social media is shaping the way we discover food In a world where a scroll can transport us from a Tokyo ramen bar to a Sicilian gelato stand, social media has emerged as the new frontier for food discovery. Platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and now even WhatsApp Channels have transformed how we encounter flavours, recipes, and dining experiences. With every tap, swipe, and story view, digital platforms are not just showcasing food—they are actively shaping what and how we eat. Gone are the days when discovering a new cuisine meant stumbling upon a restaurant or relying solely on word-of-mouth. Today, food often reaches our screens before it ever reaches our plates. 'With the rise in access to different social media platforms, especially Instagram pages of creators, restaurants, and chefs, people now see a dish before they even know its name," says Sagar Merchant, Founder of Kaatil. 'This global exposure demystifies foreign cuisines and local dishes and encourages cultural tastings." Indeed, the visual-first nature of platforms like Instagram and Pinterest plays a critical role in tempting users to explore new culinary horizons. A single reel can make Korean corn dogs go viral in Mumbai or put chilli crisp oil on the must-have list of every home chef. Merchant explains that this dynamic has changed the way people interact with food. 'Local influencers, food bloggers, and independent restaurants are playing a crucial role in this shift. By serving as the torchbearers of authenticity and innovation, they are bringing both new and old food formats to the spotlight," he adds. This evolution has given rise to a phenomenon now being called FOODMO—a playful spin on FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), but centered on food trends. Merchant points out how dishes like dalgona coffee, matcha tea, and trending desserts like Japanese souffle pancakes owe much of their popularity to the viral power of social media. 'The demand sparked by digital trends has influenced everything—from restaurant menus to what gourmet retail stores and quick commerce platforms stock." One such example is matcha, which has moved from a ceremonial Japanese tea to a modern-day wellness staple, thanks in large part to digital storytelling. 'Social media has quietly but powerfully shaped how Indian consumers discover and experience matcha," says Ishvani Patel, founder and CEO, ILEM JAPAN. 'At ILEM JAPAN, platforms like Instagram and YouTube have helped us introduce matcha not just as a tea, but as a mindful lifestyle choice." From matcha lattes to chia seed puddings, Patel notes that short-form content and influencer collaborations have made the ingredient more approachable. 'Rather than riding a trend, we have focused on storytelling that reflects matcha's authenticity and its relevance to contemporary wellness goals," she explains. 'Social media has enabled us to spark curiosity and create an emotional connection, positioning matcha as both aspirational and accessible in today's fast-evolving food culture." The trend is clear: social media isn't just a mirror to what's popular—it's a megaphone amplifying what's next. Whether it's a street food revival, a gourmet comeback of nostalgic flavours, or a niche superfood becoming mainstream, platforms are empowering both creators and consumers to experiment, engage, and elevate their culinary journeys. As FOODMO continues to shape what ends up in our shopping carts and on our tables, one thing is certain—your next favourite flavour might just be one reel away.
