Influencer Anubhavi At NDTV Yuva 2026: From Ad Agency Job To Social Media Fame

Popular content creator Anubhavi Yadav will be attending NDTV Yuva 2026 on September 28. Ahead of the event, here's a look at her journey as a content creator and her rise on social media.

Anubhavi Yadav has built a strong fan base on Instagram and currently has 4,35,000 followers. She creates videos inspired by everyday people and situations. Her content largely focuses on comedy, with recurring characters based on familiar personalities, such as teachers at parent-teacher meetings and relatives at family gatherings.

Her comedy draws from everyday experiences and regional culture. Inspired by her Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) roots, she often uses local accents and creates funny single-character skits.

According to Instagram Creators's post, Anubhavi's Instagram following grew from around 20,000 to 3,50,000 in the span of a year, with her character-driven videos finding an audience among younger viewers. One of her trial Reels recorded 3.6 million views and brought her 2,000 new followers within three days.

According to Instagram Creators, Anubhavi said, "My highest-performing trial reel hit 3.6M views and 2,000 new followers in three days on its own. That's when I realised the power of experimentation and how important it is for me to stay consistent."

Anubhavi Yadav On Juggling A Full-Time Job And Content Creation

Anubhavi also spoke about balancing her full-time job at an advertising agency with content creation. She said she would note down ideas whenever they came to her and shoot videos after work or during weekends.

She said, "Working full time at an ad agency meant that I'd jot down Reel ideas instantly. I'd shoot after work or batch 5-6 Reels over weekends in my kitchen for light. I had to do it alone, so the single-character approach emerged. The Red Flag Girl's strong performance validated this, inspiring a universe of personalities. And as my Reels gained traction, I decided to rebrand to speak to a wider and more diverse audience."

As her content evolved, Anubhavi began moving away from trends and focused on creating original characters inspired by real life. She said she initially experimented with dance Reels and Bollywood tropes but later found greater scope in developing characters rooted in everyday experiences.

This led to series such as 'girl next door' and 'aunty next door', which allowed her to incorporate more local and culturally specific elements into her content.

Anubhavi said, "Initially, I jumped on trends such as dance Reels or Bollywood tropes, but I hit a ceiling. To push boundaries, I tapped into real life, developing 'girl next door' and 'aunty next door' series, leaning into more culturally specific, locally rooted storytelling. Going back to my hometown is a research trip to stay connected to how people speak, their dialects, and their humour. I wanted my content to feel real."

She also spoke about her decision not to alter her appearance or use filters to conform to conventional beauty standards, saying she wanted her characters to remain relatable rather than become caricatures.

Anubhavi added, "As a person of colour in a society where light skin colour is often considered more desirable, not altering my appearance to fit a certain standard was important. My characters needed to be grounded, not caricatured. So, I also chose not to use filters early on. This shift resonated deeply, proving that genuine storytelling is what drives my growth."

She has also collaborated with leading brands, including Amazon Prime Video and Cleartrip, on advertising and promotional campaigns.

iPhone Duo First Impressions: The Real Star Isn't the Fold, It's the UI

Apple finally unwrapped the iPhone Duo after years of leaks and rumours that claimed the company has been working on a foldable. Early impressions from reviewers and YouTubers are surprisingly consistent: the hinge and the crease aren't the headline anymore. I got my hands on the iPhone Duo last week, and I used it for a bit to see whether what's turning heads is really the device's software. The good news is Apple didn't just shrink iOS to fit a fold. Why this feels fresh and exciting is that, for years, foldables running Android have seen UI that's stretched across two screens with some polishing, and brands calling it a day.

Apple seems to have actually gone to the drawing board to figure out how you're supposed to use a foldable device. On the iPhone Duo, the dock moves and multitasking behaves differently depending on how you're holding it. The best part is that even the animation when you open the Duo does real work, not just looks pretty and resizes. It's the kind of detail that's easy to miss in a spec sheet but impossible to ignore once you've used it for some time.

iPhone Duo: Hardware That Steps Out of the Way

This is Apple's first foldable; the hardware matters, even if it's not the main story. The iPhone Duo is packed to the brim and looks solid. The Duo closes into a compact, passport-shaped phone with a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR outer cover screen, and opens into a 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR display that almost reminds you of the iPad mini. Compared with other foldables on the market, the matte finish on the inner display adds finesse to the overall device, as it limits glare and fingerprint smudges.

Apple claims that when opened, it's the thinnest iPhone with the largest display ever

Apple has used the nano-texture matte finish from its MacBook and iPad Pro lineups. The crease is there if you look for it, but it's far less obvious than on a few foldables on the market.

The titanium frame feels solid in the hands, and the curved edges sit well in the palm. The hinge holds at odd angles without wobbling, which matters more than it sounds once you use it in tent mode for a clock or prop it up for texting on a table. Of course, all of this adds a bit of heft, which is good for a device priced this much. Then there's no telephoto lens, so it doesn't win any spec war. The hardware does its job quietly, and it is competent, occasionally excellent, and mostly just the stage for what's happening on screen. Under the hood, the phone packs an A20 Pro chip and comes with a vapour chamber.

iPhone Duo: Foldable-Only UI Is the Real Story

The first thing I noticed after picking up the iPhone Duo is the interface custom-designed for this foldable. Aesthetically and in button placement, the iPhone Duo puts the dock and main app controls on the right edge of the screen instead of the bottom, which sounds small until you realise it's designed around how you actually hold the phone open, one hand on each side. On the cover screen, it also quietly solves the asymmetry problem created by the phone's shape.

The Duo is compact and comfortable to hold and has essential controls moved to the side

For multitasking, the Duo seems built for jumping from one app to another. Like other foldables, you can drag an app out of the dock while another is already open, and it snaps into the other half of the screen automatically, just like the iPad. You can also pull an app back toward the centre, and it goes full-screen again. The entire flow feels natural, and you don't have to look for a button to pin the app to open it in full-screen mode.

Then there are the different tilt modes that genuinely don't exist on Android. You can bend the phone slightly, and it drops into a split mode on its own, useful for propping the phone on a table with video on one side and WhatsApp on the other, where you can continue your conversation. Once folded, it switches to a vertical standby layout with room for widgets like a bedside clock, photos, widgets, and more with StandBy.

It comes in Night Sky and Star White colours

The open-close animation on the Duo isn't just for show. It's built so the outer screen looks like a small window into the bigger one as it unfolds, with a soft blur effect that makes the whole transition feel like one continuous interface rather than two separate screens pretending to be one.

The iPhone Duo isn't flawless. The split-screen setup currently supports only full- or half-screen apps, with nothing in between, and if you fold the phone mid-use, it doesn't remember your multitasking layout. We may see more updates in the coming weeks before the phone goes on pre-order on October 16 and goes on sale from October 23.  

It sports two 48-megapixel main and ultra-wide rear cameras

Left-handed users might also have a genuine complaint, as every control is locked to the right edge. Hopefully, a future OTA update can fix this.

iPhone Duo: Initial Thoughts

The iPhone Duo feels like a refresh in the iPhone lineup that has been waiting for a foldable for years. The hardware, from the sturdy hinge to the nano-texture glass, sets a remarkably high baseline. But a week into hands-on testing, the takeaway isn't that Apple made a folding screen; it's that they built a software experience that finally justifies having one.

"Green Methi Not Allowed": Student Charged Rs 20 Over School Tiffin

A row has broken out at a school in Maharashtra's Bhayandar after allegations that a student was charged for bringing fenugreek in their tiffin during the Jain festival of Paryushan, days after similar claims surfaced over onions, potatoes and other vegetables.

A student at Tapovan School in Bhayandar East reportedly brought a fenugreek (methi) dish from home in their tiffin. According to allegations, the school then wrote a note in the student's diary stating, "Fenugreek is a banned vegetable."

The student was reportedly not allowed to eat the food brought from home. Instead, they were given food from the school canteen and charged Rs 20 for it.

It is claimed that root vegetables (kandmool) and items such as fenugreek have been restricted at the school because of the large number of Jain students enrolled there, tying the move to dietary practices observed during Paryushan (an annual holy event in Jainism).

This is not the first such allegation against the school. Reports had previously emerged that students were being fined Rs 50 for bringing onions, potatoes, ginger, beetroot and carrots in their tiffins during the same festival.

A complaint over that fine was filed by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). Acting on the complaint, Sulbha Vathare, Education Officer of the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation, issued a show-cause notice to the school on 17 September.

An explanation has been sought from Tapovan Vidyalaya regarding the matter, but the school has not yet made any official statement.

Tom Brady's Moment Has Julian Edelman And Rob Gronkowski Reacting

Tom Brady is still finding his voice in the FOX Sports booth, and one Cowboys vs. Commanders game gave fans something they did not expect. The former quarterback reacted strongly during the broadcast and let a few words slip. He also used a colorful phrase while praising Dak Prescott's deep pass to CeeDee Lamb. Instead of seeing it as a major issue, former Patriots teammates Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski enjoyed the change. They felt Brady looked more relaxed, natural and comfortable while calling the game.

Julian Edelman And Rob Gronkowski Say Tom Brady Is Finally Showing His Human Side

Edelman discussed Brady's broadcast on The Gronk & Jules Show and said the former quarterback's reaction made him seem more real.

“I think he's showing that he's human,” Julian Edelman said. “My favorite by far was the piss missile. Dak Prescott had a piss missile sideline hole shot. Piss missile. Shout out to Brady for, you know, giving us some entertainment.”

Gronkowski also liked the change. He said Brady appeared to be getting more comfortable in his new role.

“Also, it shows he's getting super comfortable, man,” Gronkowski said. “Which is great for everyone in football. Thank you, Tom, you're a good guy. Finally, you entertain Jules and I. We've been entertaining you our whole career.

???? Apparently Tom Brady saying “absolute piss missile” during the Cowboys game has people shocked. ????

I'm sorry WHAT?

This is Tom fucking Brady.

He spent 23 YEARS in NFL locker rooms.

Did you people think the GOAT was standing behind center going:

Brady's first slip came after Jayden Daniels was shown getting hurt during the game. The former quarterback reacted by saying, “Oh s—!” before quickly adding, “Excuse me. Was not expecting to see that.”

Tom Brady's Dak Prescott Comment And Stefon Diggs Joke Added More Attention

The Daniels reaction was followed by another memorable moment. Prescott later connected with Lamb on a deep throw near the sideline. Brady praised the pass and called it an “absolute piss missile.”

He then explained why the throw worked. Brady pointed to Washington's Cover 2 defense, Lamb finding the open area and Prescott making the throw from a clean pocket.

Brady also had something to say about Stefon Diggs. The Commanders receiver had been fined after a Week 1 goalpost celebration. When Diggs appeared ready to repeat the celebration, Brady joked, “No more humping the goalpost for Diggs.”

The comments show a different side of Brady than fans saw during his playing career. He has previously said that his job is to explain what he sees while remembering how difficult NFL football can be.

Edelman and Gronkowski appeared to see the same thing in Brady's recent broadcast. To them, the former Patriots star was simply becoming more comfortable behind the microphone.

Brady joined FOX Sports after retiring from the NFL in 2023. His broadcast career has already brought plenty of attention, but his latest moments suggest fans are seeing a more relaxed side of the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
