Bengaluru woman rental ad goes viral for accepting smokers, non-vegetarians, even ‘Satan worshipers', see how social media reacted
A Bengaluru woman's rental advertisement went viral on X, not for the apartment itself, but for its unique and inclusive criteria. While specifying preferences like female tenants, smokers, and even "Satan worshipers" being welcome, she emphasized that kindness was the only non-negotiable requirement. The post resonated with many, praising her open-mindedness and focus on decency.
ET Online A Bengaluru woman's witty and inclusive rental post on social media has gone viral — not for its apartment details, but for its blend of humour, warmth, and a firm emphasis on kindness, thanks to one standout phrase: 'Satan worshiper.'Posting on X (formerly Twitter), she announced she was moving out of her 'absolute favourite place' and was seeking a female tenant to take over the master bedroom in her 3BHK apartment near the Embassy Golf Links (EGL) area. The location, she noted, was perfect for professionals working in Domlur, Indiranagar, HAL, or those commuting to Bellandur via Wind Tunnel Road.The listing included standard information — rent of ₹18,300, a refundable deposit of ₹38,000, and a one-time setup cost of ₹22,000. The house is fully furnished, offers ample storage, sits on an elevated ground floor, and has excellent ventilation. But the part that caught the internet's attention was the tenant criteria: 'Female only, can be a smoker, non-vegetarian, satan worshiper. Everything accepted except unkindness.' — rooftopsodapop (@rooftopsodapop) This mix of extreme openness and an uncompromising stance on decency resonated online, with users praising the no-nonsense yet kind-hearted tone. The post painted a vivid picture of the apartment's appeal — cherry blossoms blooming on the lane, sunlight streaming into the room, and two 'floofs,' Sandy and Channel, who greet the tenant daily. She also described the location as 'a short auto ride from all the cool places in Indiranagar' and called EGL 'an excellent walking/running track,' sharing photos of the bright, airy space.
Reactions poured in — one user joked, 'Satan worshiper, pet snakes allowed?' while another remarked, 'Kindness being an absolute requirement is a first.' Some also questioned the common Bengaluru practice of outgoing tenants finding replacements themselves, asking, 'Why do Bangalore people try to find the next tenant, isn't that the owner's responsibility?'

Coolie and War 2 spark backlash over steep ticket hikes in Telugu states
Rajinikanth's Coolie and Hrithik Roshan - Jr NTR starrer War 2 set for an epic clash on August 14. However the ticket pricing in Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Telangana (TS) has ignited a storm online from Monday. Distributors are awaiting government approval for special hikes that could push multiplex tickets to Rs 300 - Rs 550, significantly higher than in the films' home markets, Rs150 - Rs 200 for Coolie in Tamil Nadu and Rs180 - Rs 250 for War 2 in North India. The gap has triggered sharp reactions across X (formerly Twitter), with many calling the hikes 'exploitative.' @Just_Spidye questioned the policy: 'Why Tamil [films] imposed in Andhra & Telangana? Why giving hikes for Tamil films? This is shame of TFI.' Others, like @ranjithNBK, pointed to audience behaviour, 'For a Tier 1 hero, people will go even with hikes… but for Coolie, it's a risk. If talk is bad, huge drops from day two.' The disparity has also drawn political jabs. @LoveIndia163 asked, '#Coolie in TN – Rs 150- Rs 200, #War2 in North – Rs 180-Rs 250, Telugu States – Rs 300-Rs 550? WTH?' Similar sentiments were echoed by many users and the topic has been trending on X.

Taylor Swift's mysterious orange door on website sparks confusion; first details revealed
Taylor Swift ended her The Eras tour weeks ago, walking away through an orange door on stage. Now, a similar door has mysteriously appeared on the Grammy winner's website and fans are confused. The page also has a message, informing fans that the door 'expires' on August 13 at 7 PM ET. Taylor Swift poses at the red carpet during the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California(REUTERS) This comes after Swift announced that her 12th studio album is on the way with the record, titled The Life of a Showgirl, likely associated with the color orange. Read More: Zoe Kravitz's 'hilarious' yet 'harrowing' Taylor Swift's bathroom snake story stuns netizens; 'I'd have killed them' For those unversed with Taylor Swift's previous albums, her 'eras' have always had a color: Midnights was dark blue, Reputation was black, Lover was pastel pink. Swift's team has not yet commented on the 'orange door' speculations. What does the orange door mean? Fans think… One person, on Reddit, brought back the orange door at The Eras tour, saying: 'the orange door from the end of the eras tour! we weren't crazy it actually meant something!!' 'I love the idea that she doesn't meticulously think out every Easter egg & sometimes sees a fan theory about something & is like YES that's absolutely what I meant all along!' another one posted on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. Read More: Taylor Swift's first TV appearance resurfaces after 'The Life of a Showgirl' announcement 'My theory is that she planted some of these 'Easter eggs' before actually writing the album, and incorporated them into her marketing. The door probably just meant 'next album', rather than anything specific about the album or even a timeline of when the album would come out,' a third one tweeted. Taylor Swift dropped her studio album The Tortured Poets Department in April 2024, then surprised fans just two hours later with an expanded double album, The Anthology. The release went on to dominate sales charts, ultimately becoming the year's best-selling album.
