Answer

It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

So for me, I'm usually starstruck whenever I hear the name of Shah Rukh Khan and he's the only celebrity I follow on Instagram. So he's witty, smart and charming and his account reflects that persona. So he has created a persona where he is very quick in answering any questions. And while he's answering, he ensures that people aren't really offended. But his point also comes across on the table. So for him on social media, he's not very active, but he does sometimes post randomly in the middle of the night or sometimes during his movie promotions. I see a lot of posters that are posted by him for advertisement, for marketing purposes. So yeah, he's not quite active, but then he continues to engage his audience through his charm and through the different witty posts that he does. There are often times when he also goes live to answer questions that the audience has for him. And yeah, again, he keeps sure that his target audience is always entertained through his character and through the way his jokes are. So he has a great sense of humor as well. And that really works in his favor and adds to his charm, I think, because the followers that he has just...

The one person that I follow on social media is Courtney Cox. She's an actor she's an actress from the TV show called Friends. I love those shows. I love the show and because it's a sitcom it's a very comedy. The comedy timing of the show is great and I follow her because she's energetic and I like her a lot. She's my one of my favorite actresses and she's very pretty. I like the way she posts and I like the way she keeps in touch with all of her friends and co-actors and actresses and she posts photos of their reunion and everything which makes me like her more. As far as I know Courtney Cox is one of the best actresses. She made me like Friends even more.

The person I follow on social media is my finance teacher. He has been posting about a lot of financial literacy videos and I know him since he was my tutor in my CA curriculum course. So I follow him because his content is mostly surrounded or focused on finance and that is what I admire and also he posts about a lot of stock exchanges advices. So that is what it mesmerizes me.

Band 6-7

While I follow many influencers on my social media, I would specifically like to mention one of them, that is Shehzad Khan. So, he is a dancer and a choreographer. So, his content is mainly focused on his choreographies and one of his most famous choreographies was on the song Langda Lashkara, that went super viral. And I think that is what drew many people's attention to his account specifically. Another thing to really mention about him is he made his Khan's debut this year, which is really great. And he, as a person, when I met him at his workshop, was really sweet and that is what got me more drawn to attend his workshops or rather follow him on his social media. Moving on, he also is the lead choreographer for western dances at Daljeet's concert, that has been going globally for over a year now. And he is achieving greater things and the way he is passionate about his work is keeping his audience or the family as he calls it, really engaged on his social media. His posts are all about dancing and his own personal goals. And it is really inspiring to see someone achieve something really great at such an early age.
