After Moving To India, American Woman Learns Indian Cooking And Turns Vegetarian
She also became a vegetarian. Yes, a big change. 'I became a vegetarian, and it's surprisingly easy here. India offers so much variety in vegetarian food that I don't even think twice about it anymore,' she said. Another shift? No more relying on week-old produce trucked across the country like in the U.S. 'Now I buy fresh and locally sourced food from street vendors,' Kristen shared.
And that is not all, the American woman now rides a scooter, has learned Hindi and sends her kids to a private school (which, she noted, is way more affordable here compared to the US).
Oh, and here is a fun little detail: Kristen is totally into bargaining at outdoor markets. 'I love the feeling of bargaining prices and getting good deals on things. It's just so fun to me,' she said. Classic desi move, right?

Actor Vijay Deverakonda appears before Enforcement Directorate sleuths, claims he promoted gaming platform, not betting app
Hyderabad: Actor Vijay Deverakonda on Wednesday claimed that the app (application) he endorsed is not a betting one, but a gaming app, which is a legal and skill-based platform. Speaking to the media after appearing before Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials in connection with the ongoing investigation into the illegal betting app case, Vijay Deverakonda said: 'I endorsed a gaming app, A23. There is no link with the betting app. Gaming apps are completely legal and recognised by govt agencies and are licensed. These entities pay GST and TDS.' ED officials, who found that he received Rs 4 crore from the apps, questioned him about the remuneration he received for promoting the platform. The questioning of the actor is part of a broader probe involving several celebrities who endorsed the app, which is under the scanner for money laundering and illegal operations. You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad ED is now examining whether the app is legal or not. If found illegal, action might be initiated against the actor. ED had registered a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case based on the predicate offence booked by the Telangana police. 'Various statements by govts have recognised these gaming apps. A23 is a gaming app similarly recognised. If you search Google for top gaming apps, you will get results like A23, My11Circle, NPL and so on. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Emergency Generators in Montevideo: (Prices May Surprise You) Emergency Generator | Search Ads Search Now Undo These are registered gaming apps. They sponsor the Indian cricket team and the Olympic team. They are also official sponsors for the women's cricket team. They sponsor the kabaddi league and the volleyball league. They are completely legal entities. If someone is sponsoring the Olympic team, they must be legally authorised. Agencies and media should distinguish between gaming apps and betting apps,' he added. 'ED has called me without knowing about it. I have clarified. I have given them all the financial documents, transactions and account details they asked for. These apps are geo-locked. In Telangana, A23 is geo-locked and it won't open. Certain state govts allow it, while others won't allow it. ED has asked me about contract details also — I furnished them. They were satisfied,' he said. 'If there is anything further, I will let you know,' he said, adding 'whether it is right or wrong, the Supreme Court or the state govt will decide.' Meanwhile, actors Daggubati Rana and Manchu Lakshmi are scheduled to appear before ED in connection with the case next week. Skill-based gaming apps involve games where skill predominates, like fantasy sports. Indian courts, including those in Bombay and Punjab & Haryana, have ruled that such games do not constitute gambling under law. Betting and gambling apps, on the other hand, rely on chance-based wagering and fall under state gambling laws, which often prohibit them. In Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, there is a ban on all real-money online gaming, including skill games. Despite the ban, consumer surveys report 96% awareness of illegality, yet continued participation via offshore apps, VPNs, and proxy platforms, raising concerns about enforcement and public risk.

This film was rejected by Hrithik Roshan, another superstar did, became blockbuster, made on budget of Rs 30 crore, earned more than 100 crore, movie name is…, lead actors were…
In mid-2000s, an intriguing film project began circulating within Bollywood circles. The script promised a blend of romance and suspense, set against a backdrop of political intrigue. The story centered on a blind Kashmiri woman and a charming tour guide, whose relationship would lead to unexpected revelations. Despite the compelling narrative, one actor hesitated to commit, sensing complexity and potential similarity of the plot. Which film was this? Here we are talking about Fanaa, helmed by Kunal Kohli, which was released in 2006. The film featured Aamir Khan and marked Kajol's return to the screen after five-year hiatus. The film tells the story of Zooni Ali Beg, a blind Kashmiri woman who travels to Delhi and falls in love with her tour guide, Rehan Qadri. However, Rehan harbors a dangerous secret that intertwines their love story with themes of terrorism and national security that later becomes his dilemma as he has to choose his unconditional love for Zooni or a deadly chaos. Why Hrithik Roshan rejected Fanaa? Interestingly, as per IMDb trivia, before Aamir Khan took on the role of Rehan, the part was offered to Hrithik Roshan. Reports suggest that Hrithik declined the role, possibly due to scheduling conflicts or reservations about the character's morally ambiguous nature. However, some reports have also suggested that Hrithik declined Fanaa as he found similarities between the plot of his 2000s film, Mission Kashmir. His decision opened the door for Aamir Khan to deliver a performance that added depth to the film's complex narrative. How was Fanaa's box office reception? At the box office, Fanaa was a commercial success, grossing over Rs 105 crore worldwide against a budget of Rs 30 crore. It became one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year. was notable for its unique blend of romance and political thriller elements. The chemistry between Aamir Khan and Kajol was widely praised, as was the film's music, composed by Jatin-Lalit with lyrics by Prasoon Joshi. Songs like 'Chand Sifarish', 'Dekho Naa', Mere Haath Mein' and Des Rangeela' became instant hits, contributing to film's popularity, which has managed to hold its IMDb rating at 7.1.
