UP govt teacher suspended after viral video shows her oiling hair, playing old Bollywood song in class: WATCH
A government school teacher in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district has landed in hot water after a video of her oiling her hair while playing an old Bollywood song in the classroom went viral, sparking widespread outrage on social media. The incident took place at Mundakheda Primary School in Khurja block, according to an India Today report. The now-viral video, recorded on July 19 during regular school hours, shows the teacher casually seated on a chair, applying oil to her hair while the song Bada Natkhat Hai Yeh from the film Amar Prem plays in the background. Meanwhile, students can be seen sitting quietly, watching her instead of participating in any academic activity. As reported by India Today, district Basic Education Officer Laxmikant Pandey confirmed that the teacher has been suspended with immediate effect. 'An order has been issued, and the incident is under investigation,' Pandey told the outlet. बुलंदशहर के कस्बा खुर्जा क्षेत्र में स्थित मुंडाखेड़ा के प्राथमिक विद्यालय में चल रही क्लास में सुकून से बालों में चंपी कर रही मैडम साथ ही स्पीकर बजा कर गाना सुन रही है 😭 — (@KreatelyMedia) July 20, 2025 The clip quickly spread across social media, with users criticising not just the teacher but also the state of public education in Uttar Pradesh. One user commented, 'She should be suspended immediately and she can do whatever she wants to do at home.' Another viewer shared a more sarcastic take, saying, 'Lmao ye to sirf tel maalish kar rahi thi. Hamare yaha government schools mai to teachers dhaniya palak lasan chil rahi hoti hai saara din and sir log chai sutta. (Lmao, she was just oiling her hair. In our government schools, teachers spend the day peeling coriander, spinach, and garlic while the male staff sip tea and smoke.)' Someone else pointed out the larger issue, writing, 'This is the sad reality of our government schools. While children deserve attention and good education, the teacher is busy doing oil massage and enjoying music in class. Who will take responsibility for this carelessness?' Another frustrated user quipped, 'Bacchon ki neend isliye kharaab kiye hein.. taki madam ko baal mein tel lagate dekhein. The Indian Education system is the worst. Games period hi kar deti… Bahut kuch seekh hi lete khelte khelte.' (The kids' nap was disturbed just so they could watch madam oil her hair. The Indian education system is the worst. She could've at least declared it games period, they would've learned more while playing.)

'I find it difficult to trust people now' Pandey admitted that her past experiences both personal and professional have left her with deep-seated trust issues. Although she is still receptive to love and friendship, she acknowledged that fear frequently prevents her from doing so. She claimed that her relationships had been rather, "unfortunate," and that she now finds it hard to be vulnerable with other people. On surviving daily struggles and media scrutiny She has experienced criticism that would break most people, from personal heartbreak to public backlash, but she has learned to accept it. In her words, controversy and acclaim combined, and the media created a public image of her. All these years have made Pandey tough and today she takes the media attention, whether good or bad, to be one of the baggage of the package, though she is still the target of trolling many-a-times.

Romantic drama Saiyaara earns Rs 119 crore worldwide: YRF
New Delhi, Jul 21 (PTI) Mohit Suri's romantic drama 'Saiyaara", featuring debutant Ahaan Pandey and actor Aneet Padda, registered the highest opening for a romantic film ever by grossing Rs 119 crore in the first three days, the makers said. The movie, which marks Pandey's big screen debut and a critically-praised turn for Padda, who previously featured in 'Big Girls Don't Cry" and Kajol-starrer 'Salaam Venky", earned Rs 101.75 (gross) and Rs 84 crore (nett) in India and brought in Rs 17.25 from international markets. Helmed by Mohit Suri of 'Ek Villain" and 'Aashiqui 2" fame, the movie is produced by Yash Raj Films. The film also marked the highest worldwide opening weekend for a debutant-led film. Pandey is actor Ananya Pandey's cousin. The film's impressive three-day run at the box office has beat lifetime collection of other debuts of star kids like Alia Bhatt's 'Student of the Year" and Jahnvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar's 'Dhadak", which earned Rs 70 crore and Rs 73 crore (lifetime). 'Saiyaara" follows Krish, played by Pandey, a fiery, ambitious musician, and Vaani, played by Padda, a shy lyricist recovering from heartbreak. The chemistry of the lead pair, built through soulful songwriting sessions and raw emotional moments, is the heart of the film, reads the official logline. 'Saiyaara" opened with Rs 22 crore, earned Rs 26.25 crore on day two and it has made Rs 35.75 crore on day three according to Yash Raj Films in the domestic box office amounting to 84 crore. In the international box office, the film has made Rs 17.25 crore. It is also Suri's highest opening among his other films — 'Ek Villain" earned Rs 16 crore on day one, 'Aashiqui 2" made over Rs 6 crore and 'Murder 2" earned almost 7 crore on the first day of their release. The film is the first and only romance movie to gross over Rs 100 crore in its opening weekend. The film is among the highest grossing opening weekend alongside films like Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhava" (Rs 122.43 crore), Salman Khan's 'Sikandar" (Rs 90.25 crore) and Akshay Kumar's ensemble comedy 'Housefull 5" (Rs 91.83 crore). Yash Raj Films have requested exhibitors to not hike ticket prices in order to keep them accessible for the youth supporting the film. The production house had also previously decided that Pandey and Padda not engage in promotions of the film. The music of 'Saiyaara", which features seven songs composed by Mithoon, Sachet-Parampara, Tanishk Bagchi, Rishabh Kant, Vishal Mishra, Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nisami, is already a chartbuster. Alongside Pandey and Padda, the romance also stars Geeta Agarwal, Rajesh Kumar, Varun Badola and Shaad Randhawa in key roles.
