Who is New Dellily? Hong Kong-born Indian YouTuber on her social media fame
Pranali Gupta did not set out to become a social media content creator. In 2019, when a friend suggested she should try it, the Hong Kong-born Indian said no, as she was 'not the type of person who likes taking photos or videos of myself'. However, Gupta, who speaks fluent Cantonese , warmed to the idea of having a platform where she could help other Hongkongers understand more about her bicultural identity. '[My Cantonese friend] was like, 'Don't you get tired answering the same questions? You can just shoot a video and answer everyone.' That was her way of convincing me,' recalls Gupta. Gupta, who vlogs in Cantonese, English and Hindi, at her home in Lohas Park, Hong Kong.

Hong Kong court fines decoration company, interior designer over illegal renovations
A Hong Kong court has fined a decoration company and an interior designer a total of HK$260,000 (US$33,120) over illegal modifications of a load-bearing wall at an upscale flat in a high-rise residential complex. Space Envision Limited and Lai Chun-kit each pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a count of knowingly carrying out building works without approval and consent for removing three walls, including a structural one, at a 681 sq ft flat in The Capitol in Lohas Park, Tseung Kwan O. Kwun Tong Court also recorded a guilty plea from the firm on an additional charge of 'carrying out works in such a manner as is likely to cause a risk of injury to person or damage to property'. The flat's owner, Ku Chun-ho, pleaded not guilty to the two offences under the Buildings Ordinance. He will return to court for a pretrial hearing in August. The Buildings Department found a 72cm-by-215cm (28 inches by 85 inches) section of a 20cm-thick load-bearing wall had been illegally removed in May 2023 to install a door between the flat's living room and a bedroom.
