Elephant calf hugs couple in heartwarming viral video; netizens say, ‘it would fix me'
Shared by X account Nature is Amazing, the short clip captures an interaction between the calf and a couple relaxing in what appears to be a field.
The video opens with the calf approaching the unsuspecting duo from behind. As they turn to look, the calf reaches out with its trunk and places it on their shoulders. Soon enough, in an even more endearing move, it hoists itself and wraps its front legs on the man's shoulder, as if going in for a proper hug from behind.
The couple bursts into laughter, clearly surprised but thoroughly charmed by the elephant's spontaneous gesture. 'Baby elephants think humans are so cute and want to hug us,' said the caption of the post.

The post has since racked up over a million views and sparked a wave of warm responses. 'Babies will always be babies regardless of the species,' one user wrote.
Another said, 'U can see him struggling. He is happy but seems to be questioning his life choices at the same time.' And perhaps the most relatable comment of all, said, 'A hug from an elephant would fix me.'
Adding to the feel-good elephant content online, another video recently captured a delightful roadside encounter. In it, a man is seen riding an adult elephant down a rural road while an elephant calf trots alongside. Halfway through the clip, the little one makes a spontaneous detour towards a small shop, clearly intrigued. It approaches the stall and, with a hopeful trunk, gestures for a snack. The vendor, smiling, hands over slices of watermelon, which the calf happily accepts. Moments later, the larger elephant—likely the calf's parent—joins in, casually grabbing a piece of the fruit too.

Move Over Nicki Minaj, Vijay Raaz Is The OG Of This Viral Pose. Not Out Words
Last Updated: A social media page shared a clip from the 2007 Bollywood film Welcome featuring actor Vijay Raaz. Social media trends often revolve around dance moves, lip-syncing, or catchy memes. But this time, it's about balance, confidence, and boldness. The latest viral challenge is based on a pose by rapper Nicki Minaj from her 2013 High School music video. In the video, Nicki bends in sky-high heels, crossing one leg over the other. The pose radiates power and style, which fans are now trying to recreate. People are not just copying the pose; they are taking it to extremes. They are attempting the pose on risky objects like dumbbells, railings, and even mailboxes. Even Natasa Stankovic shared a video of her take on the viral trend. But was it Nicki Minaj who started it? Well, the Internet has a lot to say about it. Desis have put their twist on this viral trend. A social media page shared a clip from the 2007 Bollywood film Welcome featuring actor Vijay Raaz. In the scene, his character sits the same way, unintentionally striking a pose that looks similar to Nicki Minaj's. Fans are now joking that Vijay Raaz started this trend long before TikTok even existed. The Instagram clip came with the caption, 'Nobody knew he started this trend first." Internet Reacts The post triggered hilarious reactions online. One user wrote, 'Didn't see that coming." Another joked, 'Every great thing is always copied." Some even linked it to the long-running debate about cultural borrowing, writing, 'White women gentrify everything — yoga, turmeric, chai latte, and now Bollywood's casual sitting style." Another comment read, 'He did the trend even before trend was a thing." Many people also mocked Hollywood for 'copying Bollywood ideas for years," showing how quickly a fun challenge turned into a cultural meme war. From Pose to Pop Culture Moment Whether Nicki Minaj's 2013 pose inspired TikTok users or Vijay Raaz unintentionally set the trend in 2007, the internet has turned this into a pop culture moment. What started as a fun TikTok challenge is now a full-blown meme battle with desi fans claiming, 'We did it first." view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'I never cried leaving a country': Foreign traveller's emotional farewell to Bengaluru goes viral
An emotional video shared by a traveller named Arina on Instagram is tugging at heartstrings across the Internet. The clip, which shows her tearfully saying goodbye to Bengaluru, India, has gone viral, and it's not hard to see why. 'I have never cried leaving a country,' she says, wiping away tears in the opening moments of the video. What follows is a touching montage of her 15-day journey through the city, its streets, people, and spirit, all of which clearly left a mark on her soul. In a voiceover, Arina reflects on her time in Bengaluru, calling it an experience that changed her. 'This is India the media doesn't want you to see,' she says. 'I completely fell in love with this country. India is so amazing so far. It's a very divine energy too.' What stood out to her most was the cultural fabric of the city, a peaceful blend of faiths and traditions. 'Bengaluru is a great collision of few religions – Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity,' she notes, admiring how harmoniously they coexist. She also mentions her fascination with the city's residential areas. 'Indian people have a great taste when it comes to houses,' she adds with a smile. For Arina, it wasn't just the landmarks or the food, everyday beauty of life in the city struck her. She speaks of the contrasts and textures of the city's streets, describing them as 'full of contrasts, all different vibrant cultures… so pleasant and interesting.' Her final day was especially meaningful. Dressed in traditional Indian attire, she attended a cultural event filled with prayers and local rituals. 'It was very amazing, emotional, and I never wanted to leave,' she says. 'I fell in love with Bengaluru. I fell in love with people. I fell in love with the realness of India.' The video ends with Arina standing at Kempegowda International Airport, taking one last look at the city she came to love, before boarding her flight. 'I once again admired the beauty of Bengaluru's airport and bid farewell to India — at least for now, until my next visit.' A post shared by arina 🍒 (@arinashoco) The Instagram video, captioned 'Bengaluru: I love the chaos, I love the feeling that you're in the middle of some wild nonstop life. Don't think I've seen this mix of madness and pure joy anywhere else. I miss you already,' has quickly racked up views and stirred a flood of heartfelt responses. A user commented, 'Bangalore is where the weather feels like a gentle hug and the people carry warmth in their hearts like it's always spring. We're glad that outsiders really love this place. Bangalore always welcomes you with its whole.' Another user commented, 'Omg I spot my granny's house in Kormangala. We have countless memories on that street.' A third user wrote, 'You can leave Bengaluru. But the city never leaves you! You'll always find your way to come back, and we'll be waiting to welcome you!' A fourth person wrote, 'I'm so glad how a foreigner express her Love towards the city while other indian people's trying to defame banglore by bringing conflicts ur always welcome.'
