Celebrities taking the social media route to air their tribulations is not new. 44 year old Zerodha founder Nithin Kamath revealed on social media that he suffered a mild stroke six weeks ago and was now on the recovery path. His timeline was flooded with comments, mostly sympathetic, some advisory. Kamath, who has been an advocate of fitness for years, has had to contend with advice from ‘medical influencers’ and well wishers alike.

This took another turn when a director at the Tata Memorial Centre also took to X to urge Kamath to avoid medical advice from ‘random influencers’. Reacting to a thread which had a Shankar Sharma advising Kamath to start hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Red Infrared therapy among other things, Dr C Pramesh wrote, “thread that demonstrates how life threatening social media can be…
Please don’t follow random “influencers” who don’t have true science to back them beyond “Trust me, bro”


While the good doctor may have put the brakes on wellness influencers wanting a slice of the attention pie caused by Kamath’s illness, the issue has put the spotlight on the importance of a good work life balance and a healthy lifestyle. Kamath himself put it, ““Around 6 weeks ago, I had a mild stroke out of the blue. Dad passing away, poor sleep, exhaustion, dehydration, and overworking out — any of these could be possible reasons,” he revealed in a post on X.

Brutal honesty has been the hallmark of such posts from celebs who are usually perceived as indefatigable heroes, with perfect skin and the ideal life. But there have been many Indian celebs who have come out in the open about their flaws, disorders and the pressures they grapple with. Here’s some of them who have taken the social media route to level with their fans.

Masaba Gupta

In a candid question-answer round on Instagram in January 2023, well known 32-year-old fashion designer Masaba Gupta opened up about having to live with Polycystic Ovarian Disеasе (PCOD).

Along with her trainer, Masaba spoke about her body transformation journey, and why she avoids the HIIT workouts. Masaba has been battling Polycystic Ovarian Disеasе (PCOD) for a whilе but hеr lifеstylе choicеs, including intеrmittеnt fasting and еating two mеals a day (lunch and dinnеr) havе hеlpеd hеr ovеrcomе it, she added.

Meet the man behind the momos that have taken Kolkata and social media by storm – Rinchen Wangdi Bhutia! Rinchen, originally from Sikkim, isn’t just another cloud kitchen owner. This Sikkemese home chef’s infectious personality and genuine love for cooking shine through in his daily vlogs, captivating hearts across India.

In every vlog, Rinchen warmly greets his audience with a simple, “Namaste, mera naam Rinchen hai aur mein Kolkata main cloud kitchen chalata hoon” (Hello, my name is Rinchen and I run a cloud kitchen in Kolkata).

From Call Centers to Culinary Calling

Rinchen’s journey began after completing his studies in Sikkim. He tried his hand at various jobs, from BPOs to aviation, but something was missing. In 2023, he took a leap of faith and quit his banking job. Back in Sikkim, with a passion for cooking simmering, Rinchen started creating cooking reels. Inspired by his Sikkimese heritage, he showcased the art of momo-making, a skill practically inborn for him. Rinchen’s talent for momos was undeniable, but his reels highlighted more than just deliciousness. His simple, down-to-earth vlogging style resonated with viewers. He quickly realized Sikkim wasn’t the ideal market for his momos, so Kolkata, the momo haven, beckoned.

Kolkata’s New Momo King

Rinchen returned to Kolkata, researched cloud kitchens, and with the support of friends, launched “Rinchen’s Momo.” His momos, boasting juicy fillings and perfectly thin wrappers, were an instant hit. He experimented with shapes and colors, introducing the now-famous rose momos.

His vlogs showcase not just his momo mastery but also his love for his adopted city. His viewers often see him enjoying delectable Bengali dishes, with “shukto” being his recent favorite.

Social Media Star and One-Man Show

Rinchen’s rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. He now juggles two Instagram accounts – one for his business with over 71.8K followers and another for his vlogs boasting a massive 371k audience! All within a few short months!

He attributes his success to Kolkata’s love for momos and his commitment to authenticity. Despite being a one-man army, Rinchen strives to fulfill every order, handling everything from grocery shopping to cooking and packing.

Recently, he was even invited as a guest judge on the Bengali reality cooking show hosted on @zeebanglaofficial; Randhane Bandhane.

This social media star from Sikkim is a local celebrity. He is a source of pride for his family, even if his father, a teacher, jokingly questions his unconventional career path.
