Viral video: Rekha Bhardwaj handles firecrackers at concert with ‘grace'; netizens say, she's a ‘legend for a reason'
Rekha was performing her hit song 'Lambi Judai' when the organisers set off the firecrackers.
'Yeh patakkhe bohut unmusical hai,' she can be heard saying in the viral video. She added that they went off at a very wrong time.
While she waited on the stage for the noise to subside, Rekha shared concern for the residents and said, 'Bichare jo sogaye honge aas paas unko taqleef hogi.'
Even though she waited very patiently for the fireworks to stop, the singer got irked by them after some time and asked the organisers to stop them: 'Can we please stop this? Yeh jo patakkhe. Bahut ho gaya.'
Netizens who said it would have been okay for Rekha to lash out lauded her handling of the situation like a 'legend' that she is.
'Grace isn't always in silence—sometimes, it's in how one continues despite the noise. Rekha Bhardwaj ji, a lesson in composure. Some voices rise above noise, not in volume, but in grace,' a user said.
Another user pointed out that 'she was so calm and patient,' while one said, she's a 'legend for a reason'.
A user commented on Rekha's concern for the residents, saying, 'She is right.'
'Very well handled by Rekha Bhardwaj Ji. Respect,' another user added.
Several social media users also blamed the organisers and said their actions show they do not respect the singer.
'Yeh bhi bhopali swag hoga .. because nobody would admit to the mistake,' an angry fan said.
'If the organisers cannot respect an artist, then why even organise such concerts?' said another user.
'That's honestly disrespectful to the singer,' added a user.

What's The Truth Behind Viral ‘Dancing Elephant' Video? Wildlife Expert Clarifies
Last Updated: The video opens to the saree-clad woman dancing joyfully against a picturesque background. Humans often express emotions through art. For example, dance serves as an outlet to a myriad of sentiments from joy to sorrow, through graceful movements and rhythm. But have you ever seen an elephant sway and twirl to music? If not, then this video is a must-watch. The clip, currently circulating on Instagram, shows a majestic elephant seemingly grooving to music and coordinating with a woman performing a classical dance. While the woman's moves were indeed impressive, it was the majestic animal in the background that stole the spotlight. What Is In The Video? The video opens to the saree-clad woman dancing joyfully against a picturesque background. Soon, the elephant joins her in the fun activity, swinging its trunk and huge ears side to side. The unexpected and unusual duet unleashed the gentle giant's playful side, creating a heartwarming moment. What's more, the elephant even matched the energy of its muse, oscillating in perfect synchronisation. Internet Reaction The internet wasted no time in reacting to the video. While some gushed at the adorability, a few pointed out that the animal's gesture indicated that it was under stress. 'This video made my day," cheered a user. 'I found the best reel ever," wrote another, echoing a similar sentiment. 'The girl might be good at dancing, but the elephant is at its best," noted an individual. Begging to differ, one person revealed, 'It's not dancing. It's his mental condition. He's chained!" Here's what this concerned user said, 'It's not dancing! It's under stress and depression." 'It's not grooving," read another stern remark. A Similar Incident Last year, an almost similar video showcasing an elephant apparently vibing to music went viral on X. In the clip, two girls were seen performing Bharatnatyam while the animal swayed to and fro behind them. In response to the footage, IFS Officer Parveen Kaswan clarified that, unlike what people would like to believe, the elephant, in reality, appeared to be dancing out of stress. In a follow-up post, the officer also gave an example of the same by attaching a video. Here is another example. I video- graphed this female elephant few months ago. She gave birth to calf and was feeling stressed due to our presence. We need not to humanise animals. They have their own way of living and expression. — Parveen Kaswan, IFS (@ParveenKaswan) November 27, 2024 He wrote, 'I videotaped this female elephant a few months ago. She gave birth to a calf and was feeling stressed due to our presence. We needn't humanise animals. They've their own way of living and expression." What are your thoughts on this?

Old video resurfaces In the resurfaced video, Son of Sardaar 2 star Mrunal is heard making remarks about Bipasha, reportedly commenting on her physique.

Following the resurfacing of the clip, the 33-year-old actress faced heavy backlash, with numerous social media users and news outlets criticizing her remarks.

Bipasha Basu Has A Sassy Reply For Mrunal Thakur's "Manly Muscles" Remark: "Strong Women Lift Each Other Up"
New Delhi: Recently, a video of Mrunal Thakur dissing Bipasha Basu went viral online. In the throwback clip, the Son Of Sardaar 2 actress was heard saying that she is 'far better than Bipasha', in the context of the latter's 'manly muscles'. Bipasha Basu has now taken an indirect jibe at the actress by sharing a social media story where she states, 'Get those muscles, beautiful ladies'. What's Happening An old interview of Mrunal Thakur with her Kumkum Bhagya co-star Arjit Taneja resurfaced recently, where the actress mentioned that she is 'far better than Bipasha', indicating the Dhoom 2 actress's 'manly muscles'. Earlier today, Bipasha took to her Instagram story, in what seems like a sassy response to Mrunal Thakur's remark. Bipasha Basu's post read, "Strong women lift each other up. Get those muscles, beautiful ladies... we should be strong... muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever! Bust the age-old thought process that women should not look strong or be physically strong!" Bipasha Basu did not directly take Mrunal Thakur's name in her post. However, the timing seems a little too real for her reaction to be coincidental, particularly because Bipasha's post talks about "strong muscles". Mrunal Thakur's Statement In the video, Mrunal and her co-star Arjit were talking about fitness when the actress asked, "Would you rather marry someone who is more manly with muscles?" When Arjit mentioned that he would like a partner with a toned physique, Mrunal Thakur responded, "Go marry Bipasha then. Listen, I am far better than Bipasha." Her last statement has not been taken kindly, as the Internet has questioned her remark for pulling down another woman. View this post on Instagram A post shared by qualiteaposts (@qualiteaposts) In A Nutshell Mrunal Thakur's comment on Bipasha Basu having 'manly muscles' and her being 'far better than Bipasha' went viral online recently. Bipasha Basu's latest Instagram story seems to be an indirect response to the same.
