Aryan Khan takes an experimental route to promote his directorial debut with Meta 

The talk around Aryan Khan’s directorial debut The Ba*ds of Bollywood isn’t just about the series itself but also the inventive ways he’s promoting it.

Memes and trends

Can't ask a drowning man for flowers (trend) 

The “Can’t ask a drowning man for flowers” trend has taken over social media, with users syncing their videos perfectly to the lyrics of the song.

Asked my friends to send me a video of what they were currently doing

This is a cute trend to try with friends, especially when there’s a strong bond despite long distances. In it, people ask their friends to share a video of what they’re doing at the moment, and the resulting compilations are absolutely adorable.

Waah Shampy Waah 

You’ve probably seen people making memes using the voiceover that goes, “Wow, Shampy, wow.” The story behind it is that it comes from a viral clip where a woman confronts her husband over another woman, and her sarcastic remark in response, “waah Shampy waah” caught everyone’s attention. Since then, the line has been turned into countless funny lip-syncs, recreations, and meme content online.
