India Is Not For Beginners And This Video Of ‘Flying' Priest Is Proof
Last Updated:
The video of a priest falling while ziplining is making rounds on the internet.
The internet, these days, is filled with content that can make you laugh, cry and explore interesting stuff that you might not have even heard of. The case in point here is a priest falling while ziplining in the funniest way possible. The incident seemed to have taken place at a religious gathering, where a crowd of devotees was seen standing on the ground as a group of priests stood on a platform.
One of the priests was then made to wear a safety harness as he took a flight from the platform with a flower garland and trident in his hand. Halfway through the journey, the overhead rope, unable to carry his weight, broke down and the man fell to the ground over a throng of people.
The video of him falling down from the cable is now making the rounds on the internet. The clip was shared by an X page with the name Mishka and was captioned, 'Shaktiman ki Shakti khatam ho gayi [Shaktimaan's power is gone]," referencing to the titular superhero character from the popular Indian television series Shaktiman, who had the superpower to fly.
The funny video of the priest invited several comments. While some enjoyed watching the video, others were concerned about the man and asked her if she was okay. A user wrote, 'Very bad it happened."
Another added, 'Poor priest is in a bad condition."
Earlier, a funny video of a woman tripping and tumbling while ziplining went viral on social media. The hilarious clip showed a woman taking an adventurous yet funny zipline ride which was supposed to be for kids' purposes. She enjoyed the adventure for a while, only to fall down in a mere distance of less than 50 metres. She flipped upside down and fell down to the ground. Her adventure turned out to be funny and she herself kept laughing after falling down from a height of 1–2 feet.

Nagarjuna Akkineni shares how different it was working with Lokesh Kanagaraj on 'Coolie' set and Sekhar Kammula on 'Kuberaa': ‘You're walking like a hero, calm it down'
Nagarjuna Akkineni is all set for the release of his much-awaited film 'Kuberaa', co-starring Dhanush and Rashmika Mandanna , which is slated to hit cinemas on June 20. The actor is actively promoting the film, and in a recent interaction, he shared his experience working with two of the most acclaimed directors in Indian cinema, Lokesh Kanagaraj and Sekhar Kammula . Nagarjuna Akkineni about Lokesh Kanagaraj and Sekhar Kammula 02:21 Samantha Akkineni's deleted tweet for 'father-in-law' Nagarjuna Akkineni grabs eyeballs of netizens In a conversation with Galatta Plus, Nagarjuna discussed how their working styles differ significantly. 'Sekhar Kammula is very real, whether it be the clothes people wear, their hairstyles, or other details. Lokesh, on the other hand, believes in the larger-than-life approach—that is my kind of cinema, and I love it,' Nagarjuna stated. Elaborating further with examples, he said, 'For instance, Sekhar would come up to me and say, 'Nag, you're walking like a hero… calm it down.' He would ask me to tone it down a little—even to hunch a bit. However, Lokesh would say, 'Sir… walk in like a tiger when you enter a room. I need people to feel intimidated just by your look.''

Father's Day 2025: If Bollywood Dads Were Indian Dishes, This Is Exactly Who They Would Be
In a rush? Can't cook? Dads. They do not always say much. But somehow, they are always there. Standing quietly behind you at the school play. Waiting outside tuition in the heat. Telling you how to change a tyre, or what not to say at a job interview. They are the ones who pack your lunch with an extra paratha, finish your cold fries without complaining, and hug you like they are trying not to. They may not post about it - but love, in their language, is always full-fat and slow-cooked. And if dads had flavours, they would be a proper Indian thali-balanced, layered, sometimes spicy, sometimes sweet, always filling. So, this Father's Day, we cooked up a little tribute to them the only way we know how: through food and films. From tough on the outside and soft within, to flaky but comforting-these iconic Bollywood dad characters remind us of the mighty Indian dishes they unknowingly resemble. Go on, see which one matches your old man, and order them instantly from your favourite food delivery app. 1. Chaudhary Baldev Singh (Bauji) - Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Dish: Coconut He is all rituals, rules, and raised eyebrows on the outside. But peel back a layer and Chaudhary Baldev Singh turns out to be a soft-hearted dad who simply wants his daughter to be happy. He is the coconut - tough, traditional, borderline terrifying, but undeniably full of love inside. He may take his sweet time expressing it, but when he does, it is all love and quiet pride. 2. Bhaskor Banerjee - Piku Dish: Begun Pora View this post on Instagram A post shared by दीपिका पादुकोण (@deepikapadukone) A little grumpy, unapologetically blunt, and deeply Bengali, Bhaskor is the dad who worries about his daughter's dating life and bowel movements with equal intensity. Fiercely feminist and rooted in tradition, he is Begun Pora - smoky, pungent, packed with mustard oil, and emotional in all the right ways. If your dad reminds you of Bhaskor, serve him some Begun Pora this Father's Day 2025. Cook it from scratch, or save time and order it from your go-to food delivery app. 3. Dharamvir Malhotra - Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Dish: Chaat The fun dad. The "let us talk about love" dad. Dharamvir Malhotra is the cool breeze in a family full of drama. Supportive, quirky, and always ready with a one-liner, he is chaat in human form - tangy, spicy, messy, and mood-lifting. If your dad is the one cracking jokes mid-crisis, there is a good chance he is Bollywood's version of chaat. 4. Viru Sahastrabuddhe a.k.a VIRUS - 3 Idiots Dish: Steamed Veggies Strict, disciplined, and in love with structure, Viru is the kind of dad who tracks your timetable more than you do. Steamed vegetables - basic, healthy, and with zero drama - suit him perfectly. He is all about marks, punctuality, and silent concern that he will never say out loud. He might be cauliflower on the outside, but deep down, he means well. 5. Duggal Saab - Do Dooni Chaar Dish: Aloo Paratha with Butter The scooter-driving, EMI-paying, emotionally reserved dad with the warmest soul. Duggal Saab is comfort food in dad form - flaky aloo parathas, generously buttered, stuffed with warmth and old-school wisdom. He does not always say "I love you", but he definitely means it when he checks if you have eaten. Want to return the favour this Father's Day? Make him this classic aloo paratha recipe, or tap that delivery app and send him a plate with extra butter. 6. Mahavir Singh Phogat - Dangal Dish: Bajra Roti with Gur Tough on the outside, all about early morning runs and strict rules, Mahavir Singh Phogat is not the dad to cry during emotional scenes. But he is also the one who will train you through life with silent support and unsweetened protein shakes. Bajra roti with gur suits him best - rough, hearty, and essential for building champions. For the dad who says less but does more, this is your Father's Day 2025 meal inspiration. 7. Narayan Shankar - Mohabbatein Dish: Bharwa Karela A strict headmaster with a no-nonsense attitude and a deep love for tradition - Narayan Shankar is the human version of stuffed karela. Bitter? Maybe. Rigid? Definitely. But also packed with layers of flavour and depth that not everyone appreciates at first bite. This is the dad who believes in discipline, values, and perfectly tucked-in shirts. Do you think your dad gives similar no-smile energy at family functions? Then maybe he deserves a plate of bharwa karela - made with love, or if you're running low on time and patience, ordered from your favourite food delivery app. 8. Kamal Mehra - Dil Dhadakne Do Dish: Butter Chicken Slick, dramatic, and a little chaotic, Kamal Mehra is the kind of dad who wears cufflinks but also picks fights at dinner. Butter chicken suits his energy - glossy, indulgent, and hiding emotions under a rich, velvety surface. He is messy but lovable, confusing but committed. If your father thrives on drama, this Father's Day 2025, just send him butter chicken. He will get the message. So, this Father's Day 2025, skip the cliched ties and coffee mugs. Pick a dish that suits your dad's mood, plate it with pride (or order it with speed), and serve it with a side of gratitude. Because nothing says "thank you for being you" like food that gets him.
