3 min readHyderabadJul 8, 2026 08:22 PM IST Kangana Ranaut has weighed in once again on the Ketan Agarwal case, this time using the latest twist in the investigation to deliver a broader message to young people about purpose, restraint and the perils of relationships shaped by social media. The actor shared a news report on her Instagram Stories about the case that has gripped the country since June. According to the report she posted, investigators have found that Siya Goyal, the fiancee of the deceased, had allegedly married Chetan Chaudhary four months ago, while preparations for her wedding with Ketan were underway. Alongside the report, Kangana Ranaut posted a long note connecting the case to what she sees as the drift of a generation. “WhatsApp, Instagram, dating apps, benching, ghosting, double- or triple-digit body counts, crumbing, seeing, testing, filters, stories, drugs, clubs — all this and much more — and still it’s not enough. Passion without a goal or a purpose will find many such random self-destructive expressions. That’s why obsession is important, but …

IOC’s ‘Let’s Move’ campaign aims to get youth active

Published by Webster

Olympic Day 2026 is being celebrated across the world on June 23 with a renewed focus on encouraging people, particularly young people, to become more physically active through sport and movement. This year’s theme, “You Can Do This. Let’s Move”, is part of the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) global Let’s Move initiative, developed in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
