15,000 Rakhis and A Lion’s Parenting Escape
After Raksha Bandhan 2025, two viral stories—from Khan Sir’s grand celebration to a leopard rakhi and a funny lion video—captured India’s attention online.
After Raksha Bandhan 2025, two very different stories took social media by storm, showing the warm, funny, and sometimes surprising sides of life.
In Bihar, Khan Sir, a popular Muslim teacher and YouTube star from Patna, was celebrated by over 15,000 of his female students, who tied rakhis to his wrist. The event was so grand that Khan Sir joked he could barely lift his hand afterward. A feast with 156 dishes was also arranged. Many praised this celebration as a heartwarming example of unity and respect that goes beyond religion.
In Rajasthan, a more unusual and controversial story unfolded when a woman tied a rakhi to an injured leopard. The woman, Leela Kanwar Narana, said it was a gesture of protection and brotherhood. She later informed forest officials, but the leopard sadly died from old injuries. The act, captured on video, triggered criticism online, with experts warning against such dangerous interactions with wild animals.
Adding a lighter note, a viral video showed a male lion walking away just as a lioness approached with their cubs, as if avoiding his “parenting duties.” Social media users compared it to everyday situations where someone tries to skip responsibilities, turning it into a relatable and humorous moment.
Both stories spread quickly online—one showing love and unity, the other bringing smiles and laughter.
