<p>&nbsp;</p><p>While it was planned as a light advertising pun, it quickly became the topic of intense debate on social media. Many have claimed that references to "genes" alongside her blonde hair and blue eyes have hinted at historical associations with beauty ideals and genetics. The debate also drew attention from politicians, influencers, and the media.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>The Bathwater soap</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another viral moment came up after her unexpected collaboration with men's grooming brand Dr. Squatch. The company released a limited-edition soap product claimed to contain Sweeney's bathwater. The idea originated from years of internet jokes from fans. But shockingly, the product sold out almost instantly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/gravitas/euphoria-officially-signs-off-after-season-3-hbo-confirms-1780316520602/amp"><strong>Euphoria officially signs off after season 3, HBO confirms</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This marketing strategy was said to promote objectification and unhealthy celebrity worship.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mental health concepts and jargon are being openly talked about today as compared to 10 years ago. The society has become much more aware of the issues at heart, yet they hardly truly understand mental and emotional health. Both aspects have stemmed from the increased exposure to social media. Endless hours of Reels on emotions and feelings have educated them about what matters, but this does not mean that they have gained deep knowledge on the matter. Damini Grover, a psychologist and the founder of the I’m powered Centre For counselling and well-being, says, “Today, people can see the ways other people relate to them (psychological terms), but have a hard time dealing with their own feelings. They can repeat healing content verbatim, yet be more anxious, alone and emotionally fragile.”</p><h2><strong>What data says about mental health among youth</strong></h2><p><br>The biggest consumer of this content is the youth, and data shows they are also the ones with historically high rates of distress, anxiety, and depression. They have become well-versed in "therapy speak" - using terms like toxic, gaslighting, narcissist, and trauma - and are extremely aware of mental health issues and working actively to dismantle stigmas around it. The American Psychological Association (APA) states that Gen Z individuals are more likely to report mental health concerns (eg, depression and anxiety) than previous generations. A 2022 survey of 1055 Gen Z adults showed that 1 out of 4 reported having more bad days than good in a month. Up to 40% of employed Gen Z individuals report experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression multiple times every week. But, does that necessarily mean they are suffering from depression or are just sad?

There is a lot more that goes into improving mental health. Complex psychological concepts have been commodified and oversimplified into "viral" content. This has led to the society becoming fluent in "therapy speak", where we think we know about mental health just because we watched endless content on it. However, the truth is, merely spending time on a 30-second Reel cannot impart emotional wisdom. This is leading to the misuse of psychological language and the overreliance on simplified self-help advice.</p><h2><strong>Normal life issues being looked at through diagnostic lens</strong></h2><p><br>Therapy speak is creating problems for the generation that is actively consuming content from social media, believing that everything they are seeing is the end-all, since they can connect with it.

But today, every emotional distress is being viewed through a clinical or diagnostic lens.

What is needed is actual psychological work. “Real emotional well-being isn't about memorising therapy terminology. It is constructed by learning how to understand ourselves, communicate honestly, take accountability and engage with others with both boundaries and compassion,” Damini says.<br>&nbsp;</p>

With rumours of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift tying the knot soon, a report has surfaced that the singer might not have added Blake to the wedding guest list. Did Taylor Swift exclude Blake Lively's name from the wedding guest list? The singer's wedding guest list might be missing a few big names that inlcudes Blake Lively and most likely her husband Ryan Reynolds as well. A report of Daily Mail stated, "Taylor has meticulously gone through her wedding guest list because the people she wants at her wedding are the people she hopes will remain in her life forever."

What went wrong between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift? In late 2024 and 2025, Blake Lively sued Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation. Baldoni countersued, and his legal team ultimately subpoenaed Swift. Baldoni’s camp claimed Swift had pressured him to accept Lively’s rewrites and use her fame for the film's benefit. In text messages unsealed in court, Lively referred to her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Taylor Swift as her "dragons" who protect her, which deeply hurt Swift. Swift's team strongly denied any creative involvement in the movie, making it clear she never wanted to be implicated.

To catch those behind the heinous crime, sub-inspector Jayprakash — played with fierce intensity by Ali Fazal — launches a relentless manhunt that drags him into the twisted psyche of the perpetrators, exposing a lack of morality so extreme it reveals the very darkest corners of human evil.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The series also features Akash Makhija, Ramandeep Yadav, Divya Sharma, Vivaan Sharma, Anshul Chauhan, Rakesh Bedi, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in pivotal roles.</p><h2>More about Raakh</h2><p>The show is based on the tragic Geeta and Sanjay Chopra kidnapping and murder case, which shocked the entire nation back in 1978.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The series Raakh is directed and executive-produced by Prosit Roy, and created, written, and co-directed by Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket, with dialogues by Ayush Trivedi.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Watch the trailer of Raakh here:</h2>

<h2>The cast on what drew them to Raakh</h2><p>“When I was first approached for Raakh, I expected it to be a conventional investigative crime thriller, but the moment I read the script, I was drawn in. Anusha, Sandeep and Prosit have woven a story that is layered, emotionally intense, and packed with gritty realism,” said Ali Fazal, who plays the role of SI Jayprakash in the series. “Jayprakash is an introvert, the unlikely cop, whose mind I found exciting to explore along with the minds of the suspects. Flawed, conflicted, and constantly trying to prove himself within a rapidly changing political and social environment. What makes Raakh truly compelling is that it is a character study as much as it is a police procedural. I believe it will make for a riveting watch for audiences in India and globally.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“Raakh came to me at a time when I’ve become very conscious of the stories I choose to be part of. What drew me to it was how layered and emotionally complex it is. While it unfolds as a thriller, at its heart it is a deeply human story,” said actor Sonali Bendre, who plays Mona Arora.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“The series gave me the opportunity to explore emotional spaces I hadn’t tapped into before as an actor. Mona is a character who carries both vulnerability and quiet strength, and portraying her was incredibly rewarding. Working with Prosit, Anusha and Sandeep was a joy, and I’m grateful for the sensitivity and honesty they brought to the storytelling. I hope audiences are as moved by the story as we were while bringing it to life.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“Raakh for me is not just an investigative crime drama. It is a multi-layered story that grabs you from the very first frame,” said actor Aamir Bashir, who plays Lt. Col. Ashok Arora. “What makes my character fascinating and challenging is that here’s a man defined by discipline and regimen, navigating immense grief and turmoil, a situation one cannot possibly be prepared for. Portraying this role has been one of the most challenging experiences of my career. This journey would not have been possible without my co-actors, Sonali and Ali, along with the fantastic team behind the lens.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Raakh is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video in India and in over 240 countries and territories worldwide on June 12.</p>

Based on the Geeta and Sanjay Chopra kidnapping and murder case that shook the entire nation in 1978, the new web series Raakh attempts to explore the investigation that took place following the crime.

Emraan Hashmi's serial kisser image in the 2000s was a part of a promotional campaign. A PR expert revealed how he was initially hesitant about it but the plan later worked for him. Read on to know more.

It's not a secret that Emraan Hashmi had a "serial kisser" label during the 2000s, which often overshadowed conversations about his performance. But now, a former publicist has made shocking revelations that the image was intentionally developed for the actor. Emraan Hashmi's serial kisser image During a conversation with Soha Ali Khan on her podcast All About Her, PR expert Parul Gossain opened up about the tag and how the idea came up for building Hashmi's public profile. Also Read: Emraan Hashmi defends Haq amid controversy; 'As a liberal Muslim, I can say...' "Emraan Hashmi is so fed up with that image. He has given me a go-ahead to say it," Gossain said, recalling those days. "There was Emraan Hashmi. He has no interest in PR. I remember Mahesh Bhatt saying that we have to do PR for him now. I told him that all his stories about kissing girls always get picked up. Why don't we create an image for him that he kisses everybody in every film, all the girls in every film? So Mahesh Bhatt said, 'Isme baat toh hai.'" Also Read: Awarapan 2 release date out: Emraan Hashmi returns as Shivam Hashmi was initially hesitant As per Gossain, the actor was hesitant at first about the concept as he thought it would affect his personal life. "So we told Emraan. He said, 'Yaar, Parveen, my wife, will kill me.' I said, 'You get her and I'll have a word with her.' He said, 'Acha theek hai,' because he can't go against Mahesh Bhatt basically. I told her that this is just a marketing campaign. This is not his thing. He is very against it. I told her that it works for us really well because we have so many films lined up with him. But if we don't have a story, how do we do it? And it worked for him, especially in B and C centres. It worked for him tremendously." The plan eventually became successful, and it became one of the most recognizable celebrity images of that period.
