Chennai man shares landlord's 'veg-only tenants' demand, post sparks debate
The post has left social media users divided. For several, it was yet another reminder of how arbitrary preferences and stereotypes continue to dictate urban housing decisions in India.'I've been a vegetarian almost all my life. I lived in Europe surrounded by meat eaters and never had an issue. But here, these restrictions feel ridiculous,' one user said as they added that food choices shouldn't be used as moral yardsticks.But not everyone saw it that way. Several users came to the landlord's defence and argued that homeowners are well within their rights to decide who rents their property. 'His house, his rules. Buy your own and rent it to whoever you want,' another user said.One of the users said: 'I've known vegetarians who genuinely feel sick around the smell of meat. If it's about comfort, maybe it makes sense, to them, at least.'advertisement'I'm non-vegetarian, and I've never had an issue finding a place in Chennai. Cook meat, drink occasionally, still found good homes. It's not always this hard,' a user said. As cities expand and communities grow more diverse, renters are often left navigating not just property listings, but landlords' preferences that go beyond paperwork. Whether it's veg vs non-veg, single vs married, or pet parent vs not, the fine print in Indian rentals seems to be getting finer by the day.- EndsMust Watch

Virat Kohli Seen Chatting With Locals In London, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: Kohli, who is one of the greatest batters of all time, lives in London now with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and two kids – Vamika and Akaay. Legendary Indian batter and former captain Virat Kohli lives in London now with his wife, Anushka Sharma, and two kids – Vamika and Akaay. The Delhi-born cricketer moved to the European city sometime back. Since the conclusion of IPL 2025, he has not returned to India. He last made a public appearance during an event organised by former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh in London last month. Kohli, who is expected to feature for India in the three-match ODI series against the Australia team in October 2025, was recently spotted strolling through the streets of London with his wife, Anushka. In the clip going viral on the internet, Kohli can also be seen chatting with locals and sharing a laugh. Virat Kohli And @AnushkaSharma Spotted Strolling Through The Streets Of London.💖.... #Virushka @imVkohli — virat_kohli_18_club (@KohliSensation) August 17, 2025 Kohli, who ended his 18-year-long wait for winning an IPL title with Royal Challengers Bengaluru on June 4 in Ahmedabad, announced his retirement from Test cricket on May 12, 2025. He took to Instagram to share a post which confirmed his exit from the five-day format of the game. During his 14-year-long Test career, Kohli played 123 Tests for India and, with the help of 30 centuries and 31 fifties, amassed a total of 9230 runs. He finished his career as the fourth leading run scorer for India in Tests and also holds the record for winning the most Tests as India captain. Under Kohli's leadership, India played 68 Test matches from 2014 to 2021 and won 40. Kohli, who has more than 27,500 runs to his name in international cricket, had retired from T20Is last year. On June 29, 2024, after India defeated South Africa by seven runs in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Kohli, while speaking during the post-match presentation ceremony, said that he is stepping away from the shortest format of the game. Kohli, who is all set to be part of India's ODI squad for the Australia series in October, will have a chance to break Kumar Sangakkara's record and become the second leading run-getter in the 50-over format of the game. During his playing days, Sangakkara scored 14,234 runs in 404 matches, whereas Kohli has 14,181 runs to his name in 302 ODIs. He needs to score 54 more runs to go past Sangakkara's tally. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

From Kapil Sharma To Ram Kapoor: Incredible Weight Loss Journeys Of 5 TV Celebs
Weight loss can be difficult, especially for those who don't know where to start. And who better to give you inspiration than celebrities? If you are someone who has been looking for some ways to lose weight and a little bit of inspiration, take cues from these celebrities. 1. Kapil Sharma Did you know Kapil Sharma lost 11 kg in just 63 days? His fitness coach, Yogesh Bhateja, in an interview, revealed that Kapil Sharma's weight loss journey included following a 21-21-21 rule. This basic routine includes focusing on moving all your muscles and doing stretches for 21 days, making mindful dietary changes to your diet for the next 21 days and controlling smoking, drinking and caffeine intake in the next 21 days. According to the expert, this routine will help you lose weight. 2. Ram Kapoor Popular for his roles in TV series Kasam Se and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Ram Kapoor lost a whopping 55 kg in 2024. While speculations that the actor has taken Ozempic and other weight loss drugs, the actor put the claims to rest by sharing his weight loss routine. The 51-year-old revealed that he lost 55 kilos in 18 months with 3 simple diet rules: Two meals a day - one at 10:30 am and the next at 6:30 pm. No snacking in between meals. No eating after 6:30 pm and fasting until the next morning. 3. Gauahar Khan The Lovely Lolla actor had one of the biggest weight loss transformations that stunned fans. Gauahar Khan lost 10 kg in 10 days. She had gained weight post-pregnancy. In an interview, the 41-year-old actor revealed that she ate everything for the sake of her newborn's health after delivery but after six months, she followed a strict diet. Gauahar Khan only had three meals a day, and all of them included salads and soups. She avoided high-calorie foods. "My diet only included leaves and soup. I zipped my mouth. I literally did. I was not on a diet. I was eating things properly, but they used to be in salad and soup form. I left non-veg. I left mutton. It is my favourite thing to eat, but I left it because it is high in calories," she shared. Since her weight loss was drastic, the actor revealed that this was her personal approach to weight loss. While she read a lot of literature on the methods she undertook, it was not done under the supervision of any professional. 4. Bharti Singh Popular Indian comedian Bharti Singh lost around 15 kg in 10 months. In a podcast, the television host shared that she was dealing with asthma and diabetes when she was overweight, and now both these conditions are under control. She credited intermittent fasting (IF) for her weight loss. IF is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of eating and voluntary fasting regularly. "I do not eat anything from 7 pm to 12 noon. I eat in the afternoon. I have eaten a lot of food for 30-32 years, and after that, I gave time to my body for one year and accepted everything," she revealed. She also practised portion control, sticking to proper meal timings, and not skipping any meals. 5. Dilip Joshi Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fame Dilip Joshi had lost 16 kilos in 45 days with a simple 45-minute workout every day for the role of a scientist in a 1992 Gujarati film.

I lost 16 kgs in one and a half months," he told Mashable India in an interview. While some are drastic weight loss methods, others are sustainable. The best way to lose weight is with a healthy diet and exercise. However, you must check with your doctor before making any changes to your diet.
