Kick Day
Day two of Anti-Valentine Week, all about letting go.
Kick Day is observed on 16 February, right after Slap Day, as part of the informal Anti-Valentine Week that has grown popular on Indian social media through the second half of February. The idea is simple: mentally 'kick out' negative energy, grudges or a bad breakup before the week moves on. Browse our Shayari for the occasion.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kick Day and when does it fall?
Kick Day, known as किक डे in Hindi, is observed on February 16, the second day of the informal "Anti-Valentine Week" that follows the romantic Valentine's Week. Like the rest of the week, it isn't tied to any documented historical event; it's a pop-culture tradition that spread through greeting cards and, later, social media.
What's the theme behind Kick Day?
True to its name, it's framed humorously around "kicking away" bad habits, negativity, or a difficult relationship, mostly expressed through jokes, memes, and playful Kick Day Shayari shared between friends rather than anything literal.
Where is Kick Day most widely observed?
It's primarily popular in India and parts of South Asia, where the full seven-day Anti-Valentine Week sequence — Slap, Kick, Perfume, Flirting, Confession, Missing, and Breakup Day — is a well-known, if unofficial, tradition among young people. Sharing a witty Kick Day Status update is a common way to mark it online.
Unlike Valentine's Week, Kick Day carries no romantic weight — it's used mostly for humorous posts among friends rather than anything aimed at a partner. It leads into Perfume Day and Flirting Day later in the week. Share a Status to keep the mood light.
