SLAM. DUNK.

When asked about Bollywood's treatment of women, Sharma opened up with more candour than Bollywood celebrities usually do. And she nailed it.

"There's a sexual connotation attached to this," she continued.

"Although this year has been really, really good for women," she continued, "A lot of films that've done well have actually been films with female protagonists."

“If Virat wants me to come to watch him, and I want to watch him, why the hell am I gonna listen to anybody else?”


"He's, like, emotionally that way. I'm more chilled out. But other than that we both want the same things in life. We both don't want to become pawns. If I lead my life according to someone else, I've screwed my life up," she continued.

"I tell myself that if I start to listen to these people and start to let them decide how I should behave and what i should do, then this is not my life, it's theirs. I'm not gonna give anybody the power to control my life," she added.

Nailed it.

In an interview with The Hindu last week, Indian test captain Virat Kohli opened up about the way women are treated in India. He said he's especially perturbed by rapes and attacks on senior citizens.
"It has obviously been a major concern for a long time, especially rapes, molestations and eve-teasing. It is very disrespectful to look at women in that way... It comes from the kind of society that we have built over the years where women have always been known to be treated as inferiors. How can this be done? This mentality is disturbing and needs to be condemned."

Spoiler alert: This list only includes eight women.
In celebration of Twitter's 10th birthday, here's a look at the 35 most followed accounts on the platform from India. A glance at this list reveals that India idolises Bollywood stars, cricketers, and politicians, in that order. And it turns out we place a LOT more men in positions of influence than we do women (the top ten features two women, and the top 35 features only eight). WHO KNEW?

It was a glorious year for the internet.

Why it's iconic: The picture is a photoshopper's dream, but the sheer lengths the Indian internet went to, deserves a shout out.
Bonus: This was probably our first nibble at Tiger's rubber-band-like body in the meme-verse, and it was spectacular. Can't wait for the next one.

Why it's iconic: This is the only meme made from the cover of a magazine on this list (which is pretty surprising). Ramdev is clearly one of the internet's running jokes, and this time, the format was superb.
Bonus: Ramdev just being Ramdev.

Why it's iconic: The fact that the Indian internet is so savage, that they took a dude trying to stand up for his girlfriend and turned it into one of the year's biggest memes.
Bonus: Props to people for picking things that literally EVERYONE hates. Looking at you, Pepsi.
