Samay Raina tried to mock Kiku Sharda, thinking he was just like Sunil Pal.
But Kiku Sharda gave it back with full force, and Samay couldn’t handle it.
Kiku literally made Samay taste his own medicine 🔥
@DeShobhaa A trapped girl had multiple sane, legal options: confront her own parents, firmly say no to Ketan’s family, call women’s helplines, approach the police, or even elope if she truly had no other way out. She chose none of them. Instead, she allegedly planned and executed murder. That is not desperation; that is criminal choice.
In the pre-social media era, many such voices were blindly accepted as “intellectuals.” Social media has done us a favour by exposing the hollowness, pretentiousness, and selective morality of these fading celebrities. Now reduced to desperate hot takes for relevance, they defend the indefensible and weaken the very society they claim to champion.
Justice demands facts and law, not fashionable sympathy for murderers. Let courts decide, not celebrity columns that glorify violence as empowerment.
You should get admitted to a mental hospital @DeShobhaa
Do you have a child ? Do you convert their tragedies also to a saucy column? This isn't just terrible writing but glorifying a MURDERER
SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON YOU TOO @ThePrintIndia@shekhargupta
This is 1 of the best 100% fictional & full of comedy piece, I have read in recent times. De casually throws in the phrase "Underage Siya at 20," which is factually, legally & logically absurd in India, where the legal age of majority & criminal liability is 18.
In Nyaya Sutras, Akshapada Gautama lists several types of logical fallacies used by sophisticated sophists to win debates using deception. 2 of them apply perfectly to Shobhaa De here:
A. Chhala (Quibbling/Trivialization) - De spends multiple paragraphs hyper-focusing on the victim's hair patch, calling it the "main motive" & writing flippant remarks like, "Come on, Siya… look at Anupam Kher!" De is trivializing a brutal crime into a shallow page-3 gossip column, trying to lower the moral weight of the act to match the superficiality of her narrative.
B. Viruddha/Savyabhicara Hetvabhasa (Contradictory/Irregular Reason) - De attributes the murder to deeper “fascinating subtexts” of class, coercion, privilege versus attraction, agency & “denied choice,” nodding to Gen Z sympathy for Siya as a trapped young woman. This reasoning is contradictory (viruddha)/erratic (savyabhicara): it directly undermines itself because a 20 yr old adult who can orchestrate multiple premeditated murder plots, divert ₹1 crore & bypass every legal/non-violent option demonstrates full criminal agency & convenience, not helplessness.
Shobhaa De’s column is a classic piece of Sophistry using flowery language, political deflections (bringing up the Ram Mandir & Modi out of nowhere) & superficial gossip to mask a terrifying moral reality.
When people try to find a "faultline" in the system to justify a 20 yr old adult's choices, they are engaging in moral cowardice. You do not look at a pilot who intentionally crashes a plane into a mountain 4x & write a column complaining about the airline's catering service. The pilot was an adult who owned the controls.
> The trip happened 20 years ago in 2007
> Doctors in 2012 said it "might" be from India but he is not sure without testing
> BBC Journalist decided to write about this in 2026
Make it make sense!
Those women sitting in that small room may be responsible for far more carbon emissions through their lifestyles than 100s of such coconut walas combined.
I told you this guy has rotten attitude - he is going to destroy the environment in the dressing room
Imagine the captain of India's T20 Team saying he doesn't know the talk around Vaibhav Suryavanshi
For this statement alone he deserves to be sacked
You'll never find people posting photos of Indians committing crimes. It's usually pictures of them walking in a garden, buying groceries or taking care of their families.

Thank you, Zerodha.
Never book #spicejet and #indigo in India. In my case there was no auto assign n it kept saying free seat included please select seat, there were no free seats to select!!! Security didn’t allow me in at kochi, finally used kiosk outside to select seats n print passes to get in.
There is a new scam by @IndiGo6E these days.
When you web check-in, they don’t show any free seat options to select.
If you skip seat selection and choose auto-assigned seating, they say you'll receive your boarding pass by email around 4 hours before departure. In my case, it never arrived.
When I called customer care to ask why the boarding pass wasn't sent, they told me that auto-assigned seating can only be done 12 hours before departure. If it isn't assigned by then, the airport has to allocate the seat. They also said they have no way to contact the airport.
So you are forced to reach the airport at least 1 hour early for physical check-in. If you arrive close to the check-in cutoff, they may refuse to issue a boarding pass and say you missed the check-in deadline.
Technically, there are no FREE seats for web check-in.
Everybody is out here scamming common people because apparently there’s nowhere for us to go and complain. Well done!

Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.
VAGUEST APOLOGY THAT TOO HIDDEN BEHIND A PAY WALL!
Original "hit job" triggered the nation, riled the opposition and threatened to discredit India's growth story.
At least make it clear what the apology is for.

@flyspicejet, I am traveling with sr citizens on SG 695 (BOM-COK) on May 18. This flight has been cancelled for 3+ days straight. I need a GUARANTEE this flight will operate or an endorsement to another airline immediately. Sr citizens cannot be stranded. @airsewa_MoCA@MoCA_GoI
