Cinema VinesOn Thursday, Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu shared a shocking video on Instagram Stories in which she claimed to have found worms inside a freshly opened jar of Isopure protein powder. In the clip, the actress pulls a tiny worm out of the container and remarks, “This Isopure is full of small worms. Tiny, tiny worms. The new dabba that we’ve opened.” She further pointed out the worm on her finger and added, “These are the worms inside it, full of it.”
Bipasha’s post also included a direct appeal to Tukaram Mundhe, the Commissioner of Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). She wrote, “@tukaram ias You are our only hope … So we don’t get spoilt or adulterated stuff in everything we purchase.” Mundhe has earned a reputation as a “real‑life Singham” for his aggressive crackdown on food and drug adulteration in the state, and he has recently become a popular figure among celebrities who seek his help with quality‑control complaints.
She is not the first star to flag a contamination issue to Mundhe. In August, TV actress Shweta Tiwari posted a video showing a cockroach that she claimed had arrived with a Swiggy Instamart delivery. Tiwari asked, “So, should we tag Tukaram Mundhe ji? Mundhe ji, now we are receiving cockroaches at home from Instamart. Aap kahan hai, please dhyaan dijiye,” and shared footage of the insect walking across her furniture.
Mundhe’s popularity has grown to the point that celebrities such as Preity Zinta, Twinkle Khanna, and Daisy Shah have publicly shown support for him. His reputation for swift action has made him a go‑to figure for public complaints about product safety.
Aside from her recent Instagram controversy, Bipasha Basu has been in the media spotlight for other reasons. She recently appeared on the digital cover of Elle and has spoken candidly about balancing her career and motherhood. The actress, who married actor Karan Singh Grover in 2016 and welcomed a daughter, Devi Basu Singh Grover, in 2022, has yet to announce any upcoming film projects. She also holds a Master’s degree in Journalism and has worked as a field reporter and sub‑editor for The Times of India and Reader’s Digest.
