Urgh!! We know! What a Grade A Pervert!
In the video, which has now gone viral with more than 4 million views, the landlord is also seen lifting and smelling Tyisha's bedsheet before laying it back down and quickly running out of the room.
Tyisha had also recorded yet another video of the landlord earlier entering the apartment and speaking to her friend, to which he had said that he'd come to feed her cat.

Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra has been in the headlines of late for all the wrong reasons. He has been arrested for his major involvement in a case related to the alleged creation of pornographic films and publishing them through mobile apps. Kundra and 10 others have been taken into custody for the same.
Raj Kundra has been booked under sections 420 (cheating), 34 (common intention), 292, and 293 (related to obscene and indecent advertisements and displays) of IPC besides relevant sections of the IT Act and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.

Now, his lawyer Abad Ponda, while defending his client Raj Kundra has made an argument in court that the content that was published on the app can be tagged as vulgar and not porn. He said, “The IT Act sections can't be read with IPC sections, but here the police have done this. Section 67A of the IT Act talks about sexually explicit acts. Only the actual... intercourse can be considered porn. Rest all is just vulgar content.”

He further added, “Police is following what web series are doing these days - vulgar content. But that's not really classified as porn. Nothing in this remand shows that two people actually indulged in [an] act of intercourse. If it's not actual intercourse, it's not classified as porn.”
He also questioned the arrest of Raj Kundra and said, “Police custody should be an exception and not a norm. Arrest should be made only when the investigation cannot move further without the arrest. In this case, the accused was made to join the investigation once he was arrested. The arrest wasn't made as per law.”
The nine people arrested before Raj Kundra’s name popped up in the case include TV actress Gehna Vashisht, Yasmin R. Khan, Monu Joshi, Pratibha Nalavade, M. Atif Ahmed, Dipankar P. Khasnavis, Bhanusurya Thakur, Tanvir Hashmi, and Umesh Kamath who is the producer looking after the operations of ‘Hotshots’ in India.
People have bashed the lawyer on social media and called his statements ‘utter nonsense.’

Less than two weeks before the start of the opening Test against England, Virat Kohli and Co received good news as wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant joined the Indian team after recovering from COVID-19.
Pant had tested for the dreaded virus on July 8 and was put in mandatory isolation for at least 10 days, as per the local guidelines.
Although he tested positive for COVID-19, he hadn’t developed any symptoms and his progress was being closely monitored by the BCCI medical team.

In their absence, KL Rahul played as a wicket-keeper and went on to score a fighting century, helping Team India post a respectable first innings total after a shaky start.
After warming the bench during the World Test Championship final, Rahul knew the importance of the match and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands, leaving Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri with a huge selection headache.

Ever since the beginning of time, a lot has been spoken about rules and stereotypes. But as people are evolving and becoming aware of their surroundings, they are now protesting against such inhibitions.
Recently, a group of boys decided to wear skirts to school to decry the double-standard on how society views men and women.
Clothes indeed have no gender, and hence, these students came forward to support the battle for gender equality.
View this post on Instagram
While this was one incident, in another news, very recently, a group of 10th-grade students in the UK stood against the strict dress code of their school.
After being told they could not wear shorts and had to continue wearing trousers, they decided to protest and wore skirts instead amid the ongoing heatwave.
This comes from Cornwall, where the people have been fighting the scorching heat, and due to the 'heat alert' as issued by the Met office, these students wanted to steer clear of wearing trousers.
© Youtube/MirrorUK
Pupil Adrian Cop and some of his friends decided to find a loophole in the school policy and noticed that there is nothing written against wearing skirts, and it doesn't assign any gender.
Hence, Adrian and his friends donned skirts and started a movement against the school's policy.
© Youtube/MirrorUK
Since Adrian didn't find a skirt, he asked his mother for it and wore a pleated skirt to school along with his schoolmates, Scott Penman and Connor Humphries. Even his mother didn't criticise him, instead, she backed him and got him an Asda skirt.
These teenagers who decided to continue wearing skirts for a week said, "I found it a lot cooler definitely. It's really uncomfortable wearing trousers in this heat. It was a mixed bag. Some teachers thought we were messing about. But there were others who cheered us on."
He also added that they were removed from classes and were asked not to socialise for the next 24 hours but were let go as the teachers could not find anything valid to pin on.
Adrian mentioned that they haven't broken any rules and wore skirts only to prove that wearing shorts amid the heatwave is not bad for girls and boys, both.
Donna, Adrian's mother, also supported his son and said this argument has been going on for years. She also that she is proud of Adrian for taking a stand.

The school's uniform guide reads, "Students must wear plain black tailored trousers made of standard material that sits at the waist and shoe line. These must be of a style that is complementary of a blazer. Skirts must be pleated and sit no higher than a credit cards width above the knee."

Back in June, a group of male teachers in Spain decided to battle against gender norms by wearing skirts to the class.
The 'Clothes Have No Gender' protest has grown by leaps and bounds as many people in different countries continue to eliminate gender discrimination. We are nothing but proud and hope to see a change in the near future.

It has been a couple of days since pacer Deepak Chahar reached out to his inner batsman and led the Indian cricket team to an incredible victory against the hosting Sri Lankan squad in the second of three ODI matches.
At one point the Men in Blue were struggling significantly as the scoreboard read 116/5 with the loss of Hardik Pandya’s wicket for a duck and the hopes of winning the series with one game extra seemed bleak.
View this post on Instagram
Nonetheless, the duo of Chahar and vice-captain Bhuneshwar Kumar stitched a remarkable 84-run innings in 15 overs to steal what seemed to be a practically impossible victory and gave a huge boost to the Indian locker room ahead of the third and final ODI of the series.
On the contrary, it led to a complete draining of faith and belief that the Sri Lankan roster had in itself. They were completely frustrated and imploding on live television with every boundary Chahar and Kumar hit.
Here are three ways in which Deepak Chahar created major conflict within the Sri Lankan team:
Mickey Arthur - Burning From WithinMickey Arthur is most entertaining head coach in international cricket. One camera is always dedicated to him.#INDvSL pic.twitter.com/IINE4MxHFd
— I'm in hate with you (@Forshitssake25) July 20, 2021
Sri Lankan head coach Mickey Arthur was all smiles as the Indian top-order was dismissed for cheap and names like Pandya and Ishan Kishan fell sooner than expected. However, when Chahar started to swing for the ropes, even the commentators couldn’t help but notice the frowns returning to his forehead. By the time the match was over, Arthur could be seen walking around the dressing room, cursing and red as a tomato. To watch his team lose a game they’d already won was the final nudge he needed to go over the top.
War Of Words
It didn’t take long before Arthur vented his frustration on the Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka and that too in the middle of the field in the focus of cameras with a live broadcast feed to our television channels. While the captain (who also felt the burden of losing such a match) tried his best to calm the situation down, the coach didn’t want to hear any of it.
In Came The VeteransThat conversation between Coach and captain should not have happened on the field but in the dressing room
— Russel Arnold (@RusselArnold69) July 20, 2021
Former Sri Lankan player and legend Russel Arnold openly expressed their dissent towards Arthur’s theatrics and called him out ahead of the third and final match. “That conversation between Coach and captain should not have happened on the field but in the dressing room.” Russell Arnold tweeted.
“I have told before, Sri Lanka don’t know the winning ways. They have forgotten how to win for the last so many years. It’s tough for them. I told before the lunch, if Sri Lanka takes three wickets in the first 10-15 overs India is going to struggle and actually India struggled. Big effort from Chahar and Bhuvneshwar their and they made them win,” Muttiah Muralitharan added.

Arjun Kapoor has faced a lot of trolling since the time he made his debut in Bollywood. He recently expressed that audiences criticize his body type because they expect actors to look a certain way and are not familiar with his struggle.
In an interview, Arjun Kapoor said that his condition makes it difficult for him to lose weight quickly. He said that he wasn’t only overweight while growing up but also had a medical condition. He said that the negativity was magnified when he was going through a rough patch in his career.
View this post on Instagram
Recently, he said in an interview, "Not many know, but I have been battling obesity for the longest time. I was just not a fat kid, it was a health issue. It hasn’t been easy. My underlying health condition has always made it a struggle for me to constantly stay a certain size. While I have been criticized a lot for my physique, I have taken it on the chin because people expect actors to be seen in a certain body type. I understand that. They haven’t understood the struggle that I have gone through and it’s alright. I have to only prove it to myself and to people who believe in me."
View this post on Instagram
He further said, "The pressure to be relevant in the industry is immense and the negativity does get to you. When my films weren’t working to the level that I expected them to, the negativity just mounted. The triggers that had caused my health issue in the first place came back, but I tried hard to keep going and make every day count. When you are constantly engulfed in work, you don’t realize the slide that you could be going through. You could be crumbling from inside while putting on a brave face. It happened to me; it happens to a lot of people.”
Arjun Kapoor was recently seen in Sardar Ka Grandson and Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. He will be next seen in Ek Villain 2 and Bhoot Police.

Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora decided to call off their marriage after 18 years of togetherness in 2016. Their chemistry made us believe they were inseparable but destiny had something different planned for them. It’s been more than four years that the two have parted ways and moved on with their lives.
View this post on Instagram
When the two decided to call it off, trolls ripped apart Arbaaz and Malaika online, and had the meanest things to say to them. In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Arbaaz Khan opened up about the trolling that followed the divorce. He admitted the trolls were full of negativity and were unfair but he didn’t let that affect him.
He said, "It's a futile exercise that they do. Do you really think that the more you say something things are going to change? In my personal life, I've already gone through that upheaval and gone through that scenario where I felt what I had to feel. I have accepted a certain situation and moved on from it. We don't live near-perfect lives. We all are fallible, we make mistakes.”
View this post on Instagram
Giving the example of Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao’s separation, he said, “Maybe the fans and followers, if they like a certain couple, they'd like to see them together. And it's happened recently with somebody like Aamir, for that matter. It happens. But that does not mean we're bad people. They're just two people who've realized that the reason they were together was to make... The journey had to be wonderful and beautiful together. Sometimes you have different paths, you grow to be different people. You have to let them grow and be happy. So we never got affected; I never got affected by comments on my personal life, particularly on my relationship. Of course, I feel they were all unnecessary at times, quite a few of them, but one had to ignore it and move on."
Arbaaz Khan is currently dating model Giorgia Andriani and Malaika Arora is in a relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor.

On the professional front, Arbaaz is back with the second season of his talk show Pinch. His brother Salman Khan featured in a recent episode of the chat show.

Jeff Bezos became the second billionaire in history to go into space in a privately owned vehicle earlier this week. The Amazon founder flew into space from Blue Origin’s West Texas facility in the New Shepard vehicle. The New Shepard was built by Bezos’ company Blue Origin and was designed to cater to the space tourism market.
© CharlieRose
In a rare interview with Charlie Rose from June 2000, Bezos expressed how he wanted to “help with space travel” as much as he could. While some might feel that Bezos was interested in space travel due to the latest interest in space tourism by competing companies, he was thinking about travelling to space even before Amazon took off as a successful company. Bezos founded Blue Origin in 2000, six years after he started Amazon. He started the company with the goal of making spaceflight more accessible and affordable.
© Reuters
"Blue Origin was founded by Jeff Bezos with the vision of enabling a future where millions of people are living and working in space to benefit Earth. To preserve Earth, Blue Origin believes that humanity will need to expand, explore, find new energy and material resources, and move industries that stress into space. Blue Origin is working on this today by developing partially and fully reusable launch vehicles that are safe, low cost, and serve the needs of all civil, commercial, and defense customers," the company said in a press release.
“If I could do anything, and it turns out this is a very hard technical problem, I would like to help go explore space.” Bezos further added, “I would get in a rocket ship, go up into space, and go check out a few things.”
© CharlieRose
It seems like Bezos kept his word as he went into space 21 years later albeit not exactly the way he wanted to. Bezos reached a maximum altitude of 107km before the New Shepard started its descent. Bezos went more than 16 kilometres higher than Branson’s July 11 ride. On the way down, Jeff Bezos told mission control: "You have a very happy crew up here.”
Needless to say, Bezos has achieved his goal of travelling to space, 21 years after he founded Blue Origin. It would be interesting to see what the future holds for Blue Origin and Bezos, and whether he will be able to “go check out a few things” once Blue Origin starts offering space trips commercially.

India is a powerhouse of development and growth. From startups to multinationals, we are the center of it all. And even though last year has been tough on many, industries are ready to bounce back bigger and stronger.

Deepak Chahar’s masterful knock in the second ODI against Sri Lanka not only helped India register a memorable win but also made him the new fan-favourite.
View this post on Instagram
Playing as a leading bowler, Chahar’s role was to bowl tidy overs and pick wickets, which he did exceedingly well, taking two wickets for 53 runs from his eight overs.
But more than his bowling, it was his batting that won billions of hearts and made him an overnight superstar.
© Reuters
Chahar’s journey to the top of world cricket wasn’t a smooth ride as he faced several rejections, but he never gave up and kept on chasing his dream of representing India at the biggest stage.
Billions of Indian fans must be thankful to the Agra-born player for never losing faith and trusting his skills as without him, India most likely wouldn’t have crossed the finish line on Tuesday.
© Instagram/Suryakumar Yadav
Among many heartbreaks in the early part of his career, the biggest one perhaps was when he was rejected by Greg Chappell at the Rajasthan Cricket Association, not for his bowling but for his “height”.
Yes, you read that right!
We were equally surprised when former India fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad made the revelation on the micro-blogging site after Chahar single-handedly took India over the line with his maiden ODI fifty.
© Reuters
Prasad, in his tweet, said that Chappell had even advised Chahar to look at some different occupation because he thought his height wasn’t good enough to become a successful fast bowler.
“Deepak Chahar was rejected by Greg Chappell at RCA for his height and told to look at a different occupation.And he single handedly won a match with not even his primary skills. Moral of the story- Believe in yourself and don't take overseas coaches too seriously,” Prasad Tweeted.
There are off-course exceptions but with such wonderful talent in India, it's time that teams and franchisees consider having Indian coaches and mentors as
much as possible.
— Venkatesh Prasad (@venkateshprasad) July 21, 2021
Citing Chahar’s example, Prasad argued that the state teams and franchises should consider appointing more and more Indian coaches for the sake of young and upcoming players.
Rejections are part and parcel of our lives but with hard work, we can overcome those obstacles and prove our critics wrong, just the way Chahar did.
After his recent heroics, the Chennai Super Kings player has strengthened his case to be included in the T20 World Cup squad not just as a frontline bowler but as an all-rounder.

A few days ago, Raj Kundra was arrested in connection with an adult film racket case. The arrest shocked everyone.
According to reports, it is being said that he started this adult film company 18 months ago during lockdown which also showed rapid growth.
Milind Bharambe, joint commissioner of police (crime branch) revealed that Raj forged a partnership with UK-based brother-in-law Pradeep Bakshi's Kenrin Limited.
View this post on Instagram
Milind Bharambe said, “As he cannot upload these videos from India on an app called Hotshot, he provided the content to a foreign platform by sending videos via WeTransfer. All content was created in his office and sent to a London-based company called, Kenrin Limited, owned by his brother-in-law, Pradeep Bakshi."
He further elaborated, “The free-to-download app was yanked off by both Apple and Google Playstore for the type of its content. The Mumbai Police have recovered incriminating evidence like several HotShot films, video clips, WhatsApp chats, etc. during the investigation.”
Not only this, the officer also revealed that Raj Kundra used to make 2-3 lakh daily with this business which later went up to 6-8 lakh.

He said, “Documents of financial transactions run into thousands. We are analyzing the details to get exact earnings. The same will be treated as proceeds of crime. So far, we have frozen Rs 7.5 crore in various accounts. Girls were called for auditions and after selection made to do bold scenes, which went onto semi-nude and then full-nude shoots. Some of them strongly opposed this and had approached the police."
Mumbai Police had arrested Kundra after booking him under various sections of the IPC and IT Act as he is said to be the key conspirator in the case.
The Mumbai police commissioner said in a statement on Monday, “There was a case registered with the Crime Branch Mumbai in February 2021 about the creation of pornographic films and publishing them through some Apps. We’ve arrested Mr. Raj Kundra in this case on 19/7/21 as he appears to be the key conspirator of this. We have sufficient evidence regarding this.”

The very unusual practice match between the Indian cricket team and the County Select XI in Durham got over Day 2 of 3 with the visiting side getting the upper hand once again as the FCCXI were all out for 220 and trailing by 91 runs in the first innings.
Unusual because of multiple reasons such as the fact that it took Team India to scalp just 9 wickets to “all-out” the other side. This was, essentially, because Avesh Khan, who was asked to play for the County XI after two of their players were ruled out at the end moment with the COVID-19 virus, got injured on Day 1 and there was no one else to bat at the 11th spot.
Avesh Khan is playing for Durham, wait what? pic.twitter.com/nsRwnNwFI2
— Mr. Critic 2️⃣.0️⃣ (@ChiragA45) July 20, 2021
The second member of the Indian Test squad who was playing against skipper Rohit Sharma and Co. was Washington Sundar who was also asked to switch sides at the last moment just like Khan.
Ceasing such a rare opportunity to get in some casual banter with his own teammate playing for the other side, pacer Mohammed Siraj decided to stare Sundar down (and probably even say a few words which couldn’t be heard or seen due to the camera angle) after the very first ball he bowled to him because quietly going back for his run-up.

This seemed to have split the Indian cricket fans into two very different sides. First who felt that it was nothing more than a couple of teammates having some casual fun on the field and being competitive.
It was just a friendly banter between Mia bhai and Washi

Both batsmen are expected to be completely healthy by the time the first of five Test matches against England kick off on August 4, 2021.
Meanwhile, the B-String of the Indian squad will be taking on the Sri Lankan team in the third and final ODI of the series on Friday with the hopes of getting a whitewash victory against the hosts after winning a nailbiter on Tuesday and already booking the series 2-0 under their name.
