A new global analysis of OnlyFans search patterns reveals what different nations privately crave — and how those cravings reflect deeper cultural pressures. India, it turns out, is both proudly desi and sneakily rebellious
If you go by their digital searches, Indians lead two distinct lives.
In public, Indians often present a restrained, even prudish, image when it comes to sexuality — no public display of affection, no live-in relationships, not even walking hand-in-hand in parks. But in the privacy of the digital realm, a very different picture emerges — one that blends national identity, bodily acceptance, and unfazed rebellion.

Viral: Indian Woman Living In South Korea Shares Struggle Of Finding Vegetarian Food
Khushi, an Indian student living in South Korea, is going viral on social media for struggling to find vegetarian food. In an Instagram video, Khushi explains to a Korean friend why she cannot eat common foods in Korea like pork and beef. While Korean cuisine is increasingly becoming popular in India, it could be difficult to find vegetarian options in the authentic food available in Korea. In the video, Khushi, speaking fluently in the Korean language, explains, "Because I am Indian, I can't eat pork and beef because of my religion. Eating chicken is fine, but since childhood, my mom never made me eat it, so I can't eat it now either. But I ate eggs, so I can eat eggs here." Khushi adds that she only eats vegetables in Korea, which many people find shocking. "People here get shocked when I tell them that I survive here by only eating vegetables. It's tough for me because not many vegetarian options are available in Korea." She continues, "I go to cafes, but I don't like coffee either, so I can't drink that either. I like bakeries here in Korea. The breads are really very tasty. But it is too sweet." Khushi wrote on the video, "Telling a Korean the struggles of being a vegetarian in Korea." In the caption, she added, "I'm dying because I want to eat bhindi." Watch the viral video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Khushi (@khushiiiii_sy16) Khushi impressed many viewers with her Korean accent and left others concerned about how she manages her diet in Korea: "Girl, how do you survive then? Like, what is even available there? What do you eat as a vegetarian?" a user questioned. Another asked, "Is it difficult to socialise for someone who comes as a vegetarian to Korea? Since eating out in BBQ restaurants is a big part of their that make vegetarians feel left out when wanting to hang out with friends or colleagues?" Khushi replied, "I just don't hang out with them when they go and eat I don't know the feeling of being left out haha." One wrote, "Vegetables are expensive, girl." Relating to the struggle of finding bhindi abroad, another user added, "Okra ( bhindi ) when it used to be available in a few hypermarkets and Asian stores, it used to be too expensive in Europe. Mostly, it used to be the sticky variety." Indians who follow a vegetarian diet may struggle to find food when living abroad. Just like Korea, can vegetarians survive in China?

Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office Collection Day 19: Ashwin Kumar's movie inches closer to ₹180 crore domestically
Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office Collection Day 19: Animated mythological epic Mahavatar Narsimha, released on July 25, is all set to hit the ₹ 180 crore mark at the domestic box office. The Ashwin Kumar directorial, which saw a rather dud opening at the box office, has witnessed a spectacular growth in three weeks, setting new benchmarks for Indian animation. The Sandalwood film, portraying powerful tales of Lord Vishnu's third and fourth avatars, has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian animated movie. Hombale Films co-founder, Chaluve Gowda, in an interview with Hindustan Times, said, 'When we get this kind of reception, it proves that Indian films have an audience. And even for Disney movies, the artists are all Indians.' 'Yes, we had the resources. The technology was there, but someone just had to take that risk and prove that in India, Indian animation movies will also work,' he added. Mahavatar Narsimha was released in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam in 2D and 3D formats. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Mahavatar Narsimha hit a slowdown as it entered its third work week, from a 77.66% fall in earnings on Monday, to minting just ₹ 1.92 crore on Tuesday. However, Mahavatar Narsimha's 19-day total stands at an impressive ₹ 176.83 crore, which is very near to the ₹ 180 crore milestone. If the movie is able to maintain its momentum, it will likely reach the milestone by tomorrow, Wednesday. Notably, Mahavatar Narsimha's Tuesday earnings are only an early estimate. The number will be revised after taking the evening and night shows in account. Mahavatar Narsimha has also done wonders at the global box office. The Kannada movie did a worldwide business of ₹ 221.25 crore gross in 18 days, grossing ₹ 13.1 crore from the overseas market. Mahavatar Narsimha's India gross stands at ₹ 208.15 crore. Chaluve Gowda told LiveMint that the second instalment of the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe will likely be released by 2027.
