Anupam Mittal, the founder of Shaadi.com, recently reacted to OYO’s new rule in Meerut about unmarried couples. OYO now says that couples must show proof of their relationship at check-in, even when booking online. This means that hotels can choose whether or not to let couples stay together based on local customs.

When the news spread online, Mittal jokingly mentioned OYO on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that Shaadi.com could offer a discount code for OYO. He even recommended a lottery for couples who met on his site to win a free stay at OYO’s nicer hotels.

OYO’s founder, Ritesh Agarwal, liked Mittal’s idea and said it promotes finding a life partner. Many users on X thought their exchange was funny, with comments like, “Are they planning weddings and honeymoons together?”

OYO’s new rule comes after local groups in Uttar Pradesh asked the company to prevent unmarried couples from staying at its hotels. Because of this feedback, OYO decided that hotels in Meerut should stop letting unmarried couples check in right away. The company might also apply this rule to more cities based on what they hear from locals. OYO has received complaints before about this issue from different groups and residents.

A recent post on the social media platform X has stirred up a big discussion about the rising salary demands for grooms in India, especially in the IT industry. The post pointed out how young professionals are being pressured and why parents are setting such high financial expectations for their children’s future partners.

One user mentioned, “Life is getting more expensive. With rising medical bills, higher electricity costs, and home expenses, earning ₹25,000 actually puts someone in the top 10% of earners in India.” Another person expressed concern about job cuts and automation, saying that such high expectations for marriage are only adding stress to young people’s lives.

Last year, a woman’s post went viral when she shared her wish list for a future husband. She wanted a groom earning ₹30 lakhs a year and owning a three-bedroom apartment, among other things. In a similar case, a man shared that his friend was turned down in an arranged marriage because of his low salary. A girl refused him, saying she wanted a groom who earned at least ₹25 lakhs a year.

A beloved 27-year-old social media star known as Killadamente, Carol Acosta, has passed away after a choking incident during dinner with her family. Carol, who had millions of followers—over 6.6 million—was at a New York restaurant when she choked on her food and suddenly had trouble breathing. Despite immediate help, she sadly suffered cardiac arrest and couldn’t be saved.

Her younger sister, Khatyan, confirmed Carol’s passing on Instagram, expressing her deep love for her sister and her gratitude for the support from fans. Khatyan said in a heartfelt video, “Thank you for being there and for supporting my sister.”

While waiting for autopsy results, it is believed Carol died from heart problems triggered by choking. A family member shared what happened at the dinner table: “She was eating normally, then suddenly began to choke and couldn’t breathe. We rushed her to the hospital, but it was too late.”

Carol was known for her messages about body positivity and encouraging others to love themselves, despite facing bullying about her weight as a child. Her family has released a statement sharing their grief and thanking everyone for their love. They are asking for help with funeral costs, urging anyone who can support to contribute, no matter how small.

Delhi and its nearby areas are feeling very cold, with a thick fog covering the city. Many people are sharing pictures and videos of buildings almost disappearing in the fog on social media.

Journalist Manu Joseph shared a photo from his balcony in Gurgaon that shows how dense the fog is. He humorously noted, “Gurgaon this month. The best thing about the winter in Gurgaon is you don’t see half of Gurgaon.” In the picture, only one tall building is visible above the thick fog.

People online reacted with surprise and humor. One person said, “Looks like a cruise ship,” while another joked, “Old: The tip of the iceberg. New: The tip of Gurgaon.” Someone else pointed out, “Looks like you can’t see 90% of your city.” A user also compared the scene to a place in the Netflix show “Altered Carbon.”

Many were curious about the flat’s location, asking if living higher up helps avoid pollution. Comments like, “Friend said pollution decreases above the 10th floor,” sparked conversations about which flats offer the best views.

Some users doubted the photo’s authenticity, suggesting it might be edited. One person emphasized, “Air purifiers only remove tiny particles; they can’t filter out harmful gases. You can’t just live on the 50th floor with an air purifier and think pollution is fixed.”

A woman in Pune shared her bad experience with an Uber driver who would not turn on the air conditioning in the car. The driver, named Anil, told her that only “Premier” rides get AC, which confused her since she thought all cars should have it.

In a video she posted on Instagram, Iffat Shaikh explained what happened. She said, “I booked a sedan and thought I could ask for the AC to be turned on. The driver didn’t listen to me.” Iffat is a tourist in Pune and said she has used Uber many times before without any issues.

In the video, she also asked the driver to tell everyone his name. He confirmed he was Anil but kept insisting that only Premier cars have air conditioning. Iffat felt unsafe when he dropped her off in the middle of the road after their argument.

She added, “As a woman traveling alone in a new city, I felt very uneasy. I had to take an auto rickshaw to reach my destination after he left me.”

Uber has several ride options, including Uber Go, which is the cheapest, and Uber Premier, which costs more. However, the good news is that air conditioning is available in all Uber rides.

Thellv.news has reached out to Uber for comment and will share their response as soon as they get it.

Rumeysa Gelgi, the world’s tallest woman, recently shared how she travels by airplane and why she has to lie down on a stretcher. In a fun video posted by Guinness World Records (GWR), we see her flying with Turkish Airlines to visit friends in the US and UK.

“I am so excited; my heart is racing!” Rumeysa said in the video, showing how airline staff helped her get on the plane while lying on a stretcher.

But why can’t Rumeysa sit up during flights? In the comments, she explained that she has scoliosis, which is a condition that causes her spine to curve. She has two long rods and 30 screws in her back that keep her spine straight, so she can’t bend or twist it at all. “Laying on a stretcher is the safest way for me to travel by air,” she added.

The reactions on social media have been very supportive. Many fans praised Rumeysa, saying things like, “She’s a lovely lady!” and “Turkish Airlines treated her well.” Another commented, “This woman is a treasure for Turkey!”

In addition to being the tallest woman in the world at 215.16 cm (7 feet 0.7 inches), Rumeysa holds five Guinness World Records. She is not only famous but also a public speaker, activist, and a big fan of reading crime novels.

Her incredible height is due to a rare genetic condition called Weaver Syndrome, which was found out when she was born. She had an unusually large size as a baby. Luckily, her family is very supportive and proud of her, and they do not have this condition.

Rumeysa lives in Turkey and loves spending precious time with her family.

In Brazil, a woman has been arrested after a Christmas cake she made poisoned several family members, resulting in three deaths. This tragic event happened on December 23 in a small town called Torres.

The cake was made by a 60-year-old woman named Zeli Dos Anjos, who is now fighting for her life in the hospital. Her two sisters and a niece died after eating the cake. Six people in total ate the cake, but one family member chose not to. The three who died, plus two others who got sick, all ate the cake.

Reports say that arsenic, a deadly poison, was found in the blood of those affected and even in the cake itself. Witnesses mentioned the cake had a strange and bad taste, and Zeli asked people to stop eating it, but unfortunately, it was too late.

On January 5, the police arrested a woman who is Zeli’s daughter-in-law. The police say they have strong evidence against her, and she is now facing serious charges for the deaths. Before the incident, she reportedly searched for information about arsenic online.

Authorities are continuing their investigation into this shocking case.

On Saturday morning, people in Noida woke up to thick fog as a cold wave swept through the area. Visibility was very low, making the city look like a scene from a spooky movie. Many residents shared pictures and videos on social media, showing how foggy and beautiful Noida had become.

Delhi Also Faces Fog Trouble; Travel Affected

Nearby Delhi experienced the same thick fog. This caused problems for flights at the airport. Between 12:15 am and 1:30 am, 15 flights had to be redirected due to the bad visibility. This was the second day in a row that flights were affected.

India’s largest airline, IndiGo, paused all incoming and outgoing flights. Other airlines, including Air India, told passengers to check their flight status and allow extra time to reach the airport. On the ground, multiple trains arriving at the New Delhi railway station were delayed, causing more trouble because of the cold.

Temperature Drops and Air Quality Declines

The India Meteorological Department reported that Delhi’s temperature was 10.2°C at 5:30 am, slightly warmer than 9.6°C the day before. However, the cold wave was still felt strongly. The city’s air quality was rated ‘very poor,’ with an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 385 at 6 am, compared to 348 the day before. This raised worries for the residents facing the cold weather.

People Find Ways to Stay Warm

With temperatures dropping and fog making it even chillier, the night shelters in Delhi were full. The Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) set up 235 new tents in places like AIIMS, Lodhi Road, and under the Nizamuddin flyover to help those in need. Many people gathered around bonfires for warmth, while others relied on the shelters to stay safe from the frigid weather.
