Matcha Is Not a Fad, It's Tradition Says Lifestyle Coach
Over the last few months, if there's one drink that has taken social media, particularly Instagram, by storm, it's matcha. From lattes and smoothies to even skincare, matcha has been everywhere. But lifestyle coach Luke Coutinho is urging people to look beyond the hype. In an Instagram post, Mr Coutinho said that while matcha was trending online, many had turned it into a fad for views and likes. He captioned the post with a tongue-in-cheek warning, "A few days of social media will reset most people. Enjoy your matcha … stop hyping it because it will get more expensive." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Luke Coutinho - Official (@luke_coutinho) "Matcha has been a timeless elixir, sipped with intention and revered for its vibrant energy and health benefits," he wrote. It boosts brain power, supports heart health, and promotes inner calm, Mr Coutinho said, explaining the drink's health benefits. He said, "This green gem is no fleeting trend, and it's a tradition rooted in wisdom." Mr Coutinho further encouraged his followers to go beyond social media trends. He said, "While social media may amplify the buzz, but the wise and awake have always known matcha's power lies in its purity, its calm, its powerful, dense nutrients, and its connection to nature." He asked people to tune out the noise, embrace the ritual and sip the serenity of this ancient superfood. "Here's to health, knowledge, clarity and the beauty of time-honoured traditions! Be educated, not influenced," he concluded. The post quickly went viral, with many appreciating him for shedding light on the overhyped trend. One person commented, "Good that someone wrote about this finally." Another wrote, "Drinking and making matcha has been ceremonial to Japan and it's such a beautiful and mindfulness activity as well." "Totally agree, matcha is ancient wisdom, and it's great people are discovering it now. But I hope they stick with it for the right reasons and for what it does inside the body," wrote the next. "I'm so glad to hear this. Totally on board with this! Matcha has been a game changer for my energy and focus. Love that it's all natural too. Thankyou for sharing that," commented another. Earlier, Mr Coutinho revealed the health benefits of consuming pure ghee, calling it "liquid gold." Pure ghee is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K and also supports digestive and immune health, he said.

Saiyaara Star Aneet Padda Is "Scared Of What's Next" As The Daze Wears Off
Saiyaara breakout star Aneet Padda on Thursday shared a latest post on Instagram, in which she thanked her fans and followers for generously showering their love on her after the release of the Mohit Suri film. The actor won the hearts of viewers with her heartfelt and vulnerable portrayal of Vaani Batra, an aspiring writer who is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. What's Happening Saiyaara, also starring Ahaan Panday, released on July 18, 2025 to mostly positive reviews. The film is having a dream run at the box office as it completes three weeks in theatres tomorrow. It has already earned over Rs 306 crore in India. In a new post, film's female lead Aneet Padda expressed gratitude for the outpour of love from the audience, adding that she is "scared" of what the future holds for her. "The daze is wearing off and all I want to say is that I love you. I don't know you. But I know that I love you. All this love you've been so generous to give me, it's sitting heavy in my chest, and I don't know what to do except give it back," she wrote in her post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aneet Padda (@aneetpadda_) "I'm scared of what's next, scared I won't be enough, but whatever I have, even the smallest piece of me, I'll put it out there. If it makes you laugh, or cry, or remember something you thought you'd forgotten, if it makes you feel a little less alone - then maybe that's what I'm here for. And I'll keep trying. Imperfect, but with everything I've got. Because I love you," she added. The actor also shared a series of unseen stills from Saiyaara, produced by Yash Raj Films CEO Akshaye Widhani. When Mohit Suri Said He Wanted Someone "Real" To Play Vaani In Saiyaara In a recent interview, Saiyaara director Mohit Suri revealed why it was not an easy task to find the perfect girl to play his female lead in the film. "It took four-five months to find this girl. Sorry, if I'm not sounding too politically correct. One thing that was scary was that I wanted a young 20- to 22-year-old girl who had not done anything cosmetically to her face or body, and that's difficult to find in today's day and age... "Not only that, I needed someone who felt real, someone who hadn't something to themselves. She (Aneet Padda) had done some work before, and she was brilliant at it. She just fit right in. We often have the wrong idea of what small-town India is like-they're actually more conventionally 'out there' than we are. She had more to share with me than I had with her," he had said. In A Nutshell In her latest Instagram post, Saiyaara star Aneet Padda thanked fans for their love and promised to give her best to the audience with her future work despite being scared.

Fact check: Will you be fined Rs 3 lakh or jailed for posting 'hakla Shah Rukh Khan' meme on social media? Here's the truth
A viral claim making the rounds on social media has sparked widespread concern, alleging that anyone who shares a meme calling Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan "hakla" could be fined Rs 3 lakh or even imprisoned. The rumour has spread rapidly across platforms like WhatsApp, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram, leaving users uncertain about the legal risks of posting memes about celebrities. Given SRK's immense popularity and legendary status in Indian cinema, many believed new laws were introduced to shield him from online ridicule. But what's the reality behind this claim? Here's the truth. Will you be fined for posting 'hakla Shah Rukh Khan' meme? Let's get straight to the point: No, you won't be fined or jailed for posting a 'hakla Shah Rukh Khan' meme. This rumour started from a viral post that made the claim, causing many people to panic and worry about potential legal trouble. But rest assured, there's no such law or official action in place right now. How did the rumour about being fined for posting 'hakla Shah Rukh Khan meme' start? As we dug deeper into social media, we came across a post by a page called aaandtv, which originally shared the viral claim. The post, created in a satirical tone, stated that users would be fined or jailed for posting the meme. However, the caption clearly clarified: 'Rs 3 lakh fine and 2 years jail for using 'Hakla' GIF or any other distorted GIF of celebrities on social media platforms. New law made by the government. This is NOT real news. This post is completely satire. This post is meant for entertainment purposes only. If you are mentioned above and want it taken down, contact me.' Despite the clear disclaimer, many users on social media took the post at face value and began resharing it without context, leading others to believe the claim was true, when in fact, it was not. How did the meme start? Social media users claim that the viral 'Hakla Shah Rukh Khan' meme isn't an actual image of the actor, but a doctored one, with his face edited onto a comedian's body, featuring an exaggerated hairstyle and cartoonish look. The Hakla Saab Starring, Shah Rukh Khan According to content creator Glokus, the meme dates back almost ten years, originating from a parody video mocking SRK's stammering speech. Although it didn't gain much attention initially, it later resurfaced through GIFs and edited clips, becoming widely popular despite reported efforts to have it removed from various platforms.
