Youth unaware of Indian President's name, Kangana slams. A video went viral where youngsters are unable to name the name of the President of India. Following this, Kangana Ranaut blasted the youngsters in her own style.

Kangana posted &ldquo;This generation knows every pop culture reference but cannot name their own President. This is not funny, this is tragic,&rdquo;

Kangana shared a screen grab from the video where a participant fails to name President Droupadi Murmu and says 'I forgot his name', implying she thinks the current President is male. While sharing the video, Kangana wrote alongside, "War won't kill us but grasshopper brain cell generation surely will."

The video, shared in April by an Instagram page called Gen Z Pulse, begins with an anchor asking a group of girls, "Who is the President of India?" One girl responds, "I forgot his name," while another adds, &ldquo;Murunali, I don't know. Murunu or something.&rdquo;

A third participant names the previous President Ram Nath Kovind, while another 'cleverly' says Jawahar Lal Nehru, saying the host never specified if they were to name the current President, adding that Nehru 'was the first President'. Ironically, Nehru was never President. He held the office of the Prime Minister of India from 1947-64.

There was nothing that was working, there were no answers being given.\" She added&nbsp; \"I obviously chickened out because you need to have lots of guts to act upon these thoughts.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu's film Subham has finally seen growth in occupancy and made decent numbers on its third day of release. The film's aggressive promotions, led by Samantha herself, have paid off, with the occupancy and collections improving with each passing day. After making Rs 1.5 crore on days one and two, Subham grossed Rs 2.25 crore globally on day three, taking its total collection to Rs 5.25 crore.

The film's positive word of mouth and Samantha's promotional efforts have helped it gain momentum. Subham is a small-town story about women getting possessed while watching a TV show, and its unique blend of comedy and social message has been well-received by audiences. The film features all newcomers in lead roles and has been directed by Praveen Kandregula of Cinema Bandi fame.

Despite facing tough competition from Sree Vishnu's Single, Subham has managed to improve its occupancy with each passing show. The film's low budget of less than Rs 5 crore and the lucrative OTT deal with Zee5 have already put Samantha in the profit zone. Zee5 is likely to stream the film on the same day as its OTT premiere, following the trend set by the platform's previous releases.

With its decent box office collections and profitable OTT deal, Subham is shaping up to be a successful venture for Samantha. The film's success is a testament to the power of effective promotions and a well-crafted story. As Subham continues to perform well at the box office, fans can look forward to more exciting projects from Samantha and her team.
