‘Tera desh hai, jo marzi kar': Haryana man comforts worker from Maharashtra amid language debate, wins the Internet
The clip, which has gone viral over the last couple of days, features an interaction between Manu Sharma – a Haryanvi man – and a young man from Nashik, Maharashtra working in what looks like a farm. In the beginning of the video, Sharma is seen shouting, 'Who here is from Maharashtra?' When one of the workers walks up to him, responding to his question, Sharma says, 'Speak in Haryanvi!'
The youngster, slightly nervous, admits he doesn't know the language. But Sharma quickly flips the script, and says, 'This is your country. If you won't work here, who will? This is your nation – do whatever you want.'
Sharma shared the video on Instagram with the caption, 'Lo jee mil gaye Marathi Haryana mein' (Here, found a Marathi in Haryana).

The wholesome exchange has now been viewed over seven lakh times. The video is drawing praise for its message of inclusion and mutual respect, especially at a time when several disturbing videos from Maharashtra showed people who don't speak Marathi being harassed.
One Instagram user responded to the video saying, 'As a Marathi I apologise for this. Even in my office I see such bullishit… You know who brings such bullishit? People who are not from the city. Bhai IT company me sare manager and bade bade log Sharma, Mishra, Shukla he. Unke samne to ye log Hindi bolte he. And koi gareeb mila — Pani Puri wala ya Zomato wala — to dadagiri (Bro, in IT companies, all the managers and top-level people are Sharma, Mishra, Shukla. In front of them, these same people speak Hindi. But when they come across someone poor — like a pani puri vendor or a Zomato delivery guy — they act like bullies). I personally say sorry from Maharashtra to the whole country. God bless you all.'
Another wrote, 'Perfect way to teach the basics that many states in our country seem to have forgotten!' A third said, 'Well done. That's the spirit. Every Marathi should learn this.'
This video comes just days after a similar one shot in Gujarat also went viral. A content creator conducting street interviews openly admitted, 'Main Gujarat mein reh raha hun, par mujhe Gujarati nahi aati' (I live in Gujarat, but I don't know Gujarati).
Yet every person he spoke to responded with warmth and willingness to continue in Hindi — a small gesture, but a telling one.

RJ Mahvash shares video of Yuzvendra Chahal's birthday celebration, says ‘iPhone waale party ke photos bhej nahi rahe'
Actor RJ Mahvash posted a birthday celebration video for her rumoured partner, cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, on Instagram. She shared a video of Chahal celebrating his birthday in a restaurant on Instagram along with a quirky message for him. She wrote,'@yuzi_chahal23 iphone wale party ke photos bhej nai rahe isko par mere pas yehi ek tha, ye rakhle mast." RJ Mahvash' Instagram story. Prior to the birthday celebration video, Mahvash shared a birthday message for Chahal, which read, 'Happy Birthday Yuzi! Getting older is a part of life and other parts are even worse. So all the best @yuzi_chahal23.' Cricketer Chahal marked his 35th birthday on July 23 in London. A video from the celebration emerged online. Chahal looked visibly excited and hugged Mahvash, who was all smiles as she watched him enjoy the event. The rumours about Mahvash and Chahal's relationship surfaced amid the cricketer's separation from his ex-wife, Dhanashree Verma. The rumours began after they were spotted at a Christmas event last year. Chahal was seen at the Champions Trophy final in Dubai with Mahvash after his separation from Dhanashree Verma this year, sparking relationship rumours again. RJ Mahvash has repeatedly said that they are just friends. She also posted a story on Instagram that said, "Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It's literally funny to see how baseless these rumours are. If you get seen with a person of the opposite gender, does that mean you are dating them? I'm sorry, what year is this? And how many people are you all dating then?" She further added, 'I have been patient for 2-3 days now, but I won't let any PR teams drag my name into this to cover up other people's images. Let people live in peace with their friends and family during tough times.' Nevertheless, during a 2025 IPL Trophy match, she was seen boarding the Punjab Kings team bus with the wives and girlfriends of cricketers, fueling relationship rumours again.

Sonu Sood gives Fish Venkat's family ₹1.50 lakh to help them after his death, assures them of his support
Beloved Tollywood actor and comedian Fish Venkat died in Hyderabad on 18 July after hospitalisation due to kidney issues. He passed away even as his family pleaded with Tollywood stars to help them financially and to help them find him a kidney donor. Sonu Sood gave the family ₹1.50 lakh after his death, assuring them of his support, as per a press note sent by his team. Sonu Sood has assured late actor Fish Venkat's family of financial and moral support. Sonu Sood gives Fish Venkat's family ₹ 1.50 lakh Sonu provided financial support to Venkat's family after his death due to a kidney issue, reads the note. He had offered help, hoping that the actor was still in the hospital, and was shocked to know he had died due to deteriorating health. After learning the news of his death, Sonu transferred ₹1.50 lakh to Venkat's family to help tide them over. He even spoke to Venkat's family members, especially his wife, over the phone, assuring them of his support even in the future. Venkat's wife seemed relieved and happy to receive the help, given that her husband was quite fond of Sonu. Venkat was 53, and he was admitted to the ICU earlier this month due to kidney failure. He was surviving on dialysis. His family members were hoodwinked by someone claiming to be Prabhas' manager and offering help when they approached the media. However, soon actors like Vishwak Sen and Sonu stepped up to support him. Pawan had previously also given the family some money when he had learnt of Venkat's ill health. His family had previously told the media that they were struggling financially and needed ₹50 lakh for the transplant. Recent work Venkat was last seen in the film Coffee with a Killer this year, and it is unknown if he had shot any other films before his death. Sonu wrote, directed and produced the Hindi film Fateh this year. A previously shelved project, Madha Gaja Raja with Vishal in Tamil, was also revived and released this year.
