The clip begins with Mr Saraswat asking if the house is indeed their residence and a replica of the Taj Mahal. The couple confirms it with a smile, following which the content creator asks if the home is dedicated to Mr Chouksey's wife. "Absolutely, it is 100% dedicated to her. And our love stands strong with us," Mr Chouksey replies. The businessman then explains that the house has been constructed using Makrana marble - the same material used in the iconic monument located in Agra.

Woman who lost 23 kg in 5 months shares 5 things she gave up to reach her fitness goals: ‘I stuck to home food'
Losing weight isn't just about diet and exercise, it's often about making tough lifestyle choices and staying committed through highs and lows. When done right, it transforms more than just your body, it reshapes your mindset and habits. Nutritionist Simrun Chopra who shed an impressive 23 kg in just 5 months shared in her March 11 Instagram post the five major things she had to give up to stay on track and hit her fitness goals. (Also read: Woman who dropped 25 kilos in a year shares 6 unpopular weight loss tips for drastic transformation ) A post shared by Simrun Chopra (@ If you're serious about your weight loss journey, eating out frequently might need to take a backseat. "For those 5 months, my priority was only my weight and my back," she says. "So I stuck to home food and, at most, ate out once a week. I even carried food to a friend's house once for dinner!" You may love crunchy, fried treats, but they're often loaded with empty calories that don't support your goals. "The added calories just weren't worth the effort I was putting in," she explains. "My goal was my priority. I knew the food wasn't running away, it was only for a short period." Say goodbye to sugary drinks if you're aiming to cut calories. That includes juices, smoothies, sodas, and cocktails. "No juices, smoothies outside, no aerated drinks, mocktails, or cocktails," Simrun says. "Instead, I switched to plain soda because I love cold fizzy drinks." Social events can be fun, but if they compromise your sleep or workout schedule, it's okay to step back. "I worked out in the morning, and if going out meant I'd miss my workout, I would not go out, or I'd come back early," says Simrun. Love sweets? You're not alone. But if they're your weakness, moderation is key. "I would max taste a tiny spoon from someone," she says. "For me, sweets were a weakness, and this worked much better for me."
