Victor had just begun dating the stunning model, Bella Bountiful, who was the envy of every tabloid photographer. Their romance was the talk of the town, especially after a lavish gala where Victor, in a fit of narcissistic whimsy, declared to the world, “Bella chose me for my beautiful smile!”

The media went wild. Headlines blared, “Billionaire’s Smile Stuns Supermodel!” As clips of Victor grinning widely flooded the internet, people started speculating: Was it really his smile? Or was it his bank account filled with more zeroes than a phone number?

The following week, Bella was invited to a high-profile fashion show. Eager to support her, Victor decided to make a grand entrance. He donned a shiny suit that looked more like it belonged to a disco ball than a billionaire and practiced his smile in the mirror until his cheeks hurt.

As he stepped onto the red carpet, cameras flashed and the crowd gasped. Victor beamed with pride, convinced that Bella was going to be just as impressed with his dazzling grin as everyone else. But as he approached her backstage, he overheard her chatting with a friend.

“I mean, his smile is nice,” Bella said, “but it’s really the helicopter he flies me around in that sealed the deal!”

Victor’s smile froze mid-flash, transforming from radiant to a confused grimace. He shuffled closer, trying to eavesdrop without being obvious. “What about my personality?” he thought. “My wit? My ability to make an incredible soufflé?”

Just then, Victor’s best friend, Dave—who had a knack for being completely oblivious—strolled by, causing Victor to trip over his own shiny shoes. He landed with a spectacular thud right at Bella’s feet.

“Wow, what a dramatic entrance!” Bella exclaimed, her eyes wide as she helped him up.

Flustered but determined, Victor cleared his throat. “Bella! You know I was just telling the world that you chose me for my smile, right? It’s—uh—iconic!”

Bella giggled. “Oh, Victor, your smile is definitely iconic! But honestly, it’s hard to ignore the private jet rides. Have you tried flying a smile to Paris? It doesn’t work as well as a jet!”

Victor sighed, realizing he might have to rethink his approach. “Okay, how about we compromise? I’ll smile while we fly to Paris. That way, you get both!”

With laughter ringing in the air, they strolled hand in hand, Victor’s smile now feeling more genuine. From that day forward, he decided that while his smile might have caught Bella’s attention, it was their shared adventures that truly made their relationship soar—especially when those adventures involved snacks on a private jet.

And so, Victor learned that while his smile was indeed beautiful, it was his willingness to laugh at himself, combined with a dash of charm and a sprinkle of adventure, that truly kept Bella by his side. The tabloids soon changed their headlines to read, “Billionaire’s Smile Outshined by Heartfelt Laughter,” and Victor couldn’t have been prouder.

After all, nothing sparkled brighter than love—except maybe a diamond-encrusted helicopter!

The incident occurred at the Pilbhit police department in Uttar Pradesh, where Inspector Shrikant Dwivedi was diligently working while a monkey appeared to be searching for lice in his hair. This amusing sight has captivated social media users, and the video is rapidly going viral.

Police work is notoriously stressful, with constant case-solving and incoming leads making calm moments rare.

A head massage can be a welcome relief in such situations, and this video humorously depicts a monkey providing just that to Inspector Dwivedi. While the inspector remains absorbed in his tasks, the monkey seems content grooming him.

The video highlights a surprisingly serene interaction between the two, with the inspector showing no sign of disturbance.

The footage has sparked mixed reactions online. Some viewers find the harmonious scene endearing, while others are taken aback. It’s a stark contrast to other recent news involving monkeys, such as the recent troubling incidents in Agra where monkeys caused significant harm.

This video, however, depicts a rare moment of peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife, showcasing an unusual but heartwarming relationship between the inspector and the monkey.

A video clip shows the man trotting through the busy streets of Hyderabad in southern India on a bay horse with the distinctive red bag of the food delivery app Zomato (the Indian equivalent of Deliveroo) dangling behind his back.

There were long queues at petrol pumps in the city and traffic jams on Tuesday after a brief truckers’ strike caused a fuel shortage.

The truck drivers were protesting against a proposed law that would impose heavy fines and 10-year jail sentences in hit-and-run incidents. They called off the strike after the government said it would consult the drivers before going ahead.

As the Zomato rider waved to surprised onlookers, he explained his choice of transport. In one of the video clips posted of his journey to social media he says: “There was no petrol for my motorbike. I waited in the queue for three hours. I left after taking the order but couldn’t get the petrol.”

Food delivery agents can often be seen zipping through clogged cities in India, weaving through the traffic in their rush to deliver on time.

Amid intense competition, some food app companies have offered 10-minute deliveries. They have attracted criticism for endangering the drivers’ lives by putting them under pressure despite knowing the chaos and gridlock of Indian roads.

The companies say the delivery agents are not under pressure as they are not told about the 10-minute deadline. Zomato in particular has specified that its employees are neither rewarded for on-time deliveries nor punished for late deliveries.

Zomato says it also plans to put a phone number on the delivery bags so people can report someone speeding or driving recklessly.
