Tinder's ‘ex-press disposal truck' lets you toss emotional baggage in style, internet says ‘memories bhi daal skte hai?'
Still stuck on your ex? What if you could just throw all that emotional baggage into a truck and drive away? Yes, you heard that right. As part of a quirky new campaign, Tinder has rolled out a one-of-a-kind breakup recovery ride, the 'ex-press disposal truck', spotted cruising through Mumbai with a big bold sign that says, "Caution: Emotional Baggage Inside."

With their new Move On campaign, Tinder is helping people leave their heartbreak behind, literally by inviting them to toss their memories (and regrets) into a super stylish, rebranded garbage truck. Offering a playful spin on breakup therapy, the truck encourages heartbroken folks to ditch everything from faded love letters and their ex's hoodie to nostalgic playlists and keepsakes.

The quirky concept quickly grabbed the internet's attention, with netizens flooding social media with videos and pictures of the truck. Influencer Pranjali Papnai (@pranjali_papnai) also hopped on the trend and shared a video of the truck, which sparked a flood of hilarious reactions.

One user joked, "Mere dil ke tukde kaise dump karu isme? 🥲," while another wrote, "Mere waale ne toh kuch diya hi nahi dost." Someone cheekily suggested, "Ex ko bhi daal do usme," and another sarcastically commented, "Dil se kaise nikaloge par." A third user added, "Ek chakkar Gurgaon ka bhi laga lo kachre waale bhaiya," while someone else quipped, "memories bhi daal skte hai?"
This campaign isn't just about clever marketing, it hits deeper, tapping into how young Indians are redefining dating, heartbreak, and emotional wellness. A study commissioned by Tinder revealed that 82% of singles aged 18 to 25 now put mental health first when it comes to relationships, and 77% say they wouldn't compromise on self-care or personal boundaries for anyone.

'You don't know who we are…,' Shilpa Shetty and husband Raj Kundra gets into a heated argument with..., watch viral video
Shilpa Shetty is presently in Croatia celebrating a birthday with her spouse Raj Kundra, sister Shamita Shetty, and several close family and friends. A young Instagram user recently shared a video on the platform asserting that Shilpa and her family were in a dispute with a 'young foreigner' who expressed concerns about their group being excessively loud. What Happened In Croatia? Posting a video featuring a group in white clothing, the young Instagrammer claimed, 'This event took place today (9.06.2025) on Hvar Island, Croatia.' A foreigner was having her meal while they ( Shilpa Shetty and crew ) were talking loudly. The foreign girl requested that they reduce their noise level; nonetheless, Raj Kundra answered, 'You have no idea who we are.' I wasn't able to capture that line in the video as it happened too abruptly. He asserted, 'You can distinctly hear Shilpa Shetty and her family nearby, as well as Shilpa Shetty and her team stating, 'Don't speak to us, we don't wish to listen to you.'' The foreign girl merely wished to savor her meal and kindly asked them to lower their voices. Kindly share your thoughts regarding this event. Is this attitude of arrogance from our celebrities abroad warranted or not? 'Do these incidents tarnish the image of Indians and our standing internationally or not?' Raj Kundra Spills The Beans On Entire Incident After this incident, Raj Kundra gave an interview to Hindustan Times in which he cleared everything about this incident. He stated, 'I want to explain the circumstances surrounding the video that is being shared online.' I reserved this specific restaurant a year ahead to commemorate my wife's birthday. Regrettably, when we arrived, we learned that our table had been reassigned to another party because of what they described as a 'double booking' mistake by the same agent,' he shared in a text message to us. Raj added, 'Having operated restaurants myself, I found the management of the situation incredibly frustrating, particularly with my elderly parents, mother-in-law, and 20 guests left in limbo.' What was intended to be a memorable night became needlessly stressful, and when we expressed our concerns, we were abruptly instructed to be silent, which only increased our frustration. He ended by stating, 'After a year of planning, the absence of accountability or even minimal courtesy from the restaurant management was profoundly discouraging. I trust this clarifies the situation.

Is Madras Club the best club in the country? Author Prajwal Parajuly thinks so
Calcuttans of a certain vintage think the Tollygunge Club is the Taj Mahal and a membership there, the pinnacle of aspiration. But they are cackled at by members of the Calcutta Club, who, in turn, are put in their places by the Bengal Club mafia. This hierarchy of clubs is a riotous, ridiculous notion for someone who grew up in Gangtok, a town with no clubs. I haven't quite been able to understand the investment people put into being associated with Raj-era nostalgia, more pronounced in Calcutta than in any other Indian city. First, there's something flagrantly racist about many clubs rolling out their frayed red carpet for foreign-passport holders, who are often exempt from jumping the same hoops as Indians to gain membership. But point this out, and a wildly gesticulating clubbie will list the virtues of their non-racist club: subsidised alcohol, central location, like-minded people, sporting facilities, 177-year history, urban oasis. For all this, a club membership is worth the sometimes-decades-long waitlist, they say. I am a self-anointed expert on the Indian club because I can offer an outsider's perspective, untainted by memories of horse-riding and swimming lessons and Christmas roasts. My verdict is that the best club in India isn't Delhi's Gymkhana Club or Hyderabad's Secunderabad Club. It definitely isn't any of the unexceptional clubs of Calcutta. The Madras Club, Chennai's little snobdom, is without question the Number One club in the country. I see a Delhi Gymkhana member elevate her just-threaded eyebrow and string a sentence with some permutation of 'But in terms of exclusivity ….' The Tolly Club veteran will offer an opinion about its recent refurbishments. 'And the Yacht Club?' a Mumbai native will say. 'The views are swoon-worthy.' Someone or the other will label my jaundiced take on clubs as being new money. It still doesn't mean I'll rank your club higher than the Madras Club. When Vidya Singh, a friend of a friend, suggested we convene at the Madras Club for our first meeting, I hesitated. I had been scarred by the clubs of Calcutta — the insipid food, the laissez-faire service, and the theatrics of tipping waiters on the sly — and didn't want my social life in Chennai to replicate that. I'd also have to adhere to a ridiculous dress code when shorts and flip-flops were my uniform in Sri City. Jerry, the Madras Club martinet, actually eyed my loafers several times as I climbed up to the club's foyer. Luckily Vidya had warned me: a collared shirt, shoes, and socks. Over dinner of chicken roast and mashed potatoes, I let it slip that I had been staying in hotels on my Chennai visits. 'Hotels?' Vidya said with disdain. I'd stay at the Madras Club instead, she decided. See, the nice hotels in Chennai have every amenity but grounds on which to walk. And when this Himalayan goat doesn't get his steps in, he morphs into a grump. In this eminently pedestrian-unfriendly city, footpaths aren't exactly footpaths. Parks are hard to come by. Finding a place for a stroll that's not a beach is tough. That is why the Madras Club grounds are such a privilege. The walking track here is joy in sand and clay. I like that the club's happy-making light yellow Palladian building isn't the deep yellow of the buildings of the Mediterranean. The cupola is handsome, the pool colossal. Staying in the rooms — so massive that you could actually jump rope in them without causing distress to any of the colonial furniture or the sepia pictures on the walls — is like spending a night in a friend's well-appointed guestroom. This, I understand, is what many clubs aspire to. It's just that the Tollygunge Club quarters have all the character of a PWD guesthouse with miniature pink soaps. When I stay at the club, I rise at the crack of dawn, go for a leisurely stroll and eat idli, serenaded by birdsong, on the club verandah. I read more here than I do anywhere else. The club atmosphere, of course, lends itself to revisiting the classics. Evenings are for Mulligatawny soup, supposedly invented here, and shoes (and socks) and collared shirts in the formal dining room. My checkouts are a bit of a spectacle. The receptionist asks if he should call for a cab. I smile. I walk — yes, gasp, walk — out of the club, my suitcase rattling behind me. I leave the confines of the Boat Club Road, one of the few semi-walkable neighbourhoods in Chennai, and, politely saying no to autos, head to the Nandanam Metro Station. I nearly get run over by a speeding bike. A quick metro ride delivers me to Chennai Central. There, I take a non-air-conditioned train to Sri City, a two-hour journey as egalitarian as the Madras Club is not. Prajwal Parajuly is the author of The Gurkha's Daughter and Land Where I Flee. He loves idli, loathes naan, and is indifferent to coffee. He teaches Creative Writing at Krea University and oscillates between New York City and Sri City.

Raj Kundra Breaks Silence On Viral Video Of Shilpa Shetty's Fight With A Tourist In Croatia: "Was Extremely Disheartening"
New Delhi: Shilpa Shetty recently celebrated her 50th birthday in Croatia, with her husband, businessman Raj Kundra, her sister Shamita Shetty and her family. However, earlier today an Instagram user shared a video of the family amid celebrations, which recorded the Dhadkan actress fighting with a "foreigner", who complained about them being loud. Raj Kundra has now reacted to the viral video online that has sparked attention. He told Hindustan Times that the heated argument went overboard when the table was double-booked and handed over to another group. What's Happening A viral video of Shilpa Shetty celebrating her birthday in Croatia with family went viral online. The video claimed that Shilpa and her family had a flared-up confrontation with a tourist. The Instagrammer who had shared the video online, captioned it, "This incident occurred today (9.06.2025) in Hvar Island, Croatia. A foreigner was eating her food, and they (Shilpa Shetty and team) were speaking loudly. The foreigner girl asked them to lower their volume; however, Raj Kundra (Shilpa Shetty's Husband) replied by saying, 'You don't know who we are.' I could not record that line on the video because it was very sudden." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Madhavan Batra (Maddy) (@maddythecricketer) The user added, "You can clearly hear Shilpa Shetty and her family standing and Shilpa Shetty and team saying, "Don't talk to us, we don't want to hear you." While the foreign girl just wanted to enjoy her food and politely requested them to speak softly." "Please give your comments on this incident. Whether this arrogance from our celebrities on foreign soil is justified or not? Whether these incidents defame Indians and our reputation abroad or not? I feel that Mr Arnab Goswami should raise this issue of Bollywood arrogance in his news channel and expose these acts," he concluded. Raj Kundra has now responded to the viral video, as he cleared the air with added details on what really went down. He told Hindustan Times, "I'd like to clarify the situation regarding the video circulating online. I had booked this particular restaurant a year in advance to celebrate my wife's birthday. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed that our table had been given away to another group due to what they claimed was a "double booking" error from the same agent." He added, "As someone who has also run restaurants, I found the handling of the situation deeply frustrating, especially with my elderly parents, mother-in-law and 20 guests left waiting. What was meant to be a special evening turned unnecessarily stressful, and when we raised our concerns, we were abruptly told to stay quiet, which only added to our disappointment." Kundra further expressed his disappointment stating that he has been planning this holiday for a year. It was disheartening for him to see a happy occasion turn into a public spectacle. He concluded, "After a year of planning, the lack of accountability or even basic courtesy from the restaurant management was extremely disheartening. I hope this puts the situation into perspective." How The Internet Reacted To The Viral Video Social Media users have strongly reacted to the viral video. One person wrote, "It doesn't matter whether you are on foreign soil or Indian... you have to maintain some decorum." Someone else mentioned, "Yet another example of money doesn't buy class", while another one wrote, "Being a star doesn't give you the right to talk loudly in public. This is bad etiquette." Another person commented, "Civic sense inke paas bhi nahi hai." One user highlighted that chances are higher for foreigners to have a racial bias against Indians, where a person noted, "Well, personally witnessed many American tourists & Chinese talking loudly too in our Europe visits. But somehow, Whites will call out loud Brown voices only." One person stated, "I have seen many locals here in Australia of all ages do the same, but if an Indian does it, they notice this first." Shilpa Shetty is yet to react to the incident. In A Nutshell Shilpa Shetty was in Croatia's Hvar Islands with Raj Kundra and family for her 50th birthday. However, a video of them celebrating went viral online on June 9, when an Instagram user recorded a spat between Shilpa and a foreigner. Raj Kundra has now reacted to the same expressing his disappointment and how the situation went out of hand.
