Kohli Warned This 'X' Account To Stop Abusing Him, 14 Years Later This Happened
Last Updated: Virat Kohli, in a 2011 'X' post, had warned a user named Ishaan to stop using abusive language to the cricketer. Indian cricketer Virat Kohli knows how to give back to trolls – on the field or off it. Kohli's aggressive approach has helped him keep the troublemakers at bay but even the most celebrated cricketer in India couldn't do much except to issue a warning directly to an 'X' (formerly known as Twitter) user, asking the account to stop using foul language and abusing him. This was back in 2011. 'your account has been reported and will be deactivated soon. dont tweet if u wana use foul language (sic)," Kohli, tagging the X user, wrote. The account, which went by the username of Ishaan, routinely returned with jibes at Kohli by making appearances under Kohli's original post. @ishaan3 your account has been reported and will be deactivated soon. dont tweet if u wana use foul language.— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) December 6, 2011 Er. Ishaan A year after Kohli issued the warning, Ishaan returned to the post in 2012 asking the cricketer how he was doing. Not the one to let it go, Ishaan, returning to the thread in 2016, informed Kohli that his account was intact even after five years since the incident. A year later, in 2017, laughing at the absurdity of it all, Ishaan made yet another comeback letting the Indian batter know that he was still around and thriving. After a hiatus of four years, the purported abusive account returned to 'X' to mark the 10th anniversary of Kohli's OG warning post. 'It has been 11 years even today I am active," he wrote in a post the following year. Ishaan Suspended In a surprising turn of events, the account has been suspended on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform. (X/Screengrab) Upon clicking on Ishaan's handle, X informs users that the account has been suspended for violating the guidelines of the platform. End Of An Era X users got the whiff of Ishaan's departure and they heaved a sigh of relief that the one-sided beef had finally concluded. Finally suspended 😭🤣 — Wellu (@Wellutwt) June 11, 2025 X's longest rivalry had finally ended, many remarked. 'ishaan survived for 14 years but Kohli has the last laugh. A long twitter rivalry ended, (sic)" a user, responding to the suspension message on Ishaan's now-defunct X account wrote. Meanwhile, Kohli found several mentions on Wednesday after the World Test Championship final commenced between South Africa and Australia. Lord's Cricket Ground, the chosen venue for the big event, saw packed stands and fans from various cricketing nations cheering on as Day 1 of the much-awaited Test turned out to be an eventual one. Trolls mocked Kohli's fans who had wondered if the cricket and Test-loving community would take the same amount of interest in the red-ball game as they did when Kohli played in all whites for India. Kohli bid farewell to the Tests on May 12, 2025. He featured in 123 Test matches and scored 9,230 runs that comprised 30 centuries and 31 half-centuries. He had a batting average of 46.9.

Not only Dharmendra, this Bollywood star also fell in love with a South Indian beauty, got married, his name is..., wife is...
Not only Dharmendra, this Bollywood star also fell in love with a South Indian beauty, got married, his name is..., wife is... Amrish Puri is one of Bollywood's most iconic actors, renowned for his unforgettable villain roles. However, his off-screen persona was completely different, as he led a life filled with kindness, devotion and love. The beautiful relationship he shared with his wife, Urmila Puri, was often overlooked due to his cinematic legacy. Their love story is purely 'green flag' in today's generation. The couple met each other in Delhi, when Amrish was an aspiring actor in the world of theatre. Although, it wasn't a usual grand Bollywood love stories, but still the two had a pure and deep connection that blossomed over time. In an interview with Peeping Moon, Amrish Puri's grandson, Vardhan Puri, shared some adorable insights about his grandfather's love life. He spoke about their first meetup, and how their unwavering love for each other won everyone over. He said, 'Dadi was South Indian and dadu was Punjabi and when their families got to know about their liking for each other, they did not like it and were against their marriage. But soon dadi and dadu convinced their family members and got married with their blessings.' Urmila, who was teacher by profession, was an unwavering support in Amrish's journey to success. She understood his ambition and supported him both practically and emotionally during his long years of struggle. Amrish called Urmila his pillar of strength, saying, 'Mai hero banu ya na banu, iss ghar ki hero toh meri biwi hi hai.' After Amrish's carer rose to stardom in 80s and 90s with his memorable performances in films like Mr India, DDLJ, and Karan Arjun, he stayed humbled, continuing to cherish his wife for her incredible support throughout his career.

Olympe Ramakrishna's silk portraits narrate the evolving stories of urban middle class women
'I've displayed these portraits under high ceilings too, but I think this is the lowest one,' says Franco-Indian visual artist Olympe Ramakrishna, referring to the low ceiling at Alliance Française of Hyderabad. Her installation, Women of Urban India, currently showing at the French institute, features 12 oil portraits on silk, suspended from the ceiling like sarees drying on rooftop terraces. Stories of contemporary women The series portrays women we encounter every day — in neighbourhoods, offices, on travels, and among friends. Each image captures the essence of India's urban middle-class women: resilient, constantly adapting, and balancing the delicate tug between tradition and modernity. As a researcher studying femininity and women's identity, Olympe first arrived in Bengaluru in 2010 from Normandie in France , where she was struck by a new generation of urban middle-class women. The changes she observed, she notes, went far beyond clothing choices. From crafting their own life paths to balancing multiple roles, these women navigate two worlds — one shaped by global influences, the other rooted in tradition. Pointing to one of the portraits, she reflects on the generational shift: the difference between this woman, her mother, and her grandmother is vast, something she says is far less pronounced in Europe, where three generations of women in her own family have led largely similar lives. Saris and silk The artist first painted the women — some neighbours, friends, and two of her husband's cousins — on canvas. She then photographed the works, printed them onto Dupion silk, and suspended the portraits from the ceiling, mimicking the gentle sway of saris drying on rooftops. The idea was inspired by evenings spent watching families gather on Bengaluru's terraces —children playing, grandparents chatting, and birds returning to the park, as freshly dried clothes were collected. Having grown up around silk — ironing wedding dresses for her designer father, John Francois — the fabric felt like a natural medium for Olympe's installation. The project, which began two years ago, debuted in Bengaluru in November 2023, and has since travelled to Puducherry, Delhi, Chandigarh, and Paris. Next, she plans to explore the women of Kerala and Tamil Nadu through a large woven tapestry. Women of Urban India by Olympe Ramakrishna on display at Alliance Francaise Hyderabad till June 15
