Husband had history of abuse towards his wife and the couple got divorced in 2020

2020 brought with itself a truckload of swift and massive changes. Changes that nobody could have predicted would become unavoidable for our survival and ones that would give this year a much-needed makeover. © TOI One such thing to have undergone a massive facelift is the Indian wedding. Gone are the days of big fat Indian weddings. This year, most desi weddings came sans the extravaganza, huge gathering, loud AF live bands, fireworks, and a feast that could feed an entire village. A lot has changed with the coronavirus playing the uninvited, stubborn guest to 2020. With government restrictions on hosting weddings, couples have either postponed their weddings or have been forced to get married under restrictions which call for physical distancing and a limited guest list. © Pexels (Representative Image) But it seems some people have found a way to make their D-Day special despite all the limitations. Hours ago, a guest shared how a family in Tamil Nadu found the perfect way to celebrate the wedding of their son by not only having a live webcast of the ceremony but also arranging for the kalyana sappadu aka wedding meal to be delivered to the guests at their doorstep! New trend of marriage invitation. Marriage food will be delivered at your doorstep. pic.twitter.com/ooEz1qbsvP — Shivani (@Astro_Healer_Sh) December 10, 2020 The guests were sent packages with fresh banana leaves and tiffin boxes filled with 12 different preparations and condiments. The package also came with a picture card with detailed instructions regarding where each food item is to be placed. The idea was to enjoy the wedding with a webcast and round it up with a hearty wedding feast from the comfort of their homes. Excellent idea, don’t you agree? We’re all for this and looking forward to such a wedding invite soon! People online are also loving this idea. Looks like this is new model of advertising by Catering contractor. In what's app group I rec'd same wedding invitation but with different menu card, good description package etc pic.twitter.com/EJqlBs57jB — Pandurang (@pandurangpai40) December 11, 2020I can't believe the level of detail. I never knew that each item had a specific place on the banana leaf. — Pawan Sahay (@pawansahay) December 11, 2020Yes everyone could eat together and at a given time, open the packs and be present via zoom or similar app ,with some festive music playing in the background .'Sagan' could be transferred to the bank account indicated on the invitation .The times we live in. Flavourless ! — Manjot Singh Bindra (@BindraManjot) December 11, 2020Incredible!! This is too cool! Any idea on the caterers / contractors who are doing this? Will be helpful. I’m sure logistics is a big challenge in this, other than the usual issues of food freshness and taste compared to live counters. — Mango Man (@lakhotiarahul) December 11, 2020Love the detailing, they also told the places in the banana leaf where each item needs to be served ! — Shankar Sundarrajan (@Shankarsundar) December 11, 2020Southern areas of any country comes with wonderful innovation, even South of probably all cities are well placed and innovative.

Katy Perry broke down with emotion when describing her depression and offered to bury the hatchet with fellow pop superstar Taylor Swift as she livestreamed her life for 96 hours. To promote her fifth album "Witness," Perry invited fans to watch her inside a Los Angeles home for a full weekend through Monday as the 32-year-old singer slept, cooked, did yoga, cuddled with her dog Nugget and chatted with a stream of celebrities who showed up at her door. Despite putting her life temporarily under observation with 41 cameras, Perry -- born Katheryn Hudson to conservative Christian parents in California -- said she struggled to handle the attention to her life more broadly. "I built up this Katy Perry thing that everybody knows and that's the reason why they're tuning in and it's fantastic, but it's more of a facade," she told the therapist Siri Singh. Perry, who said that therapy has helped her, cried at length as she said she struggled with depression. "I'm ashamed because of course Katy Perry is so strong, but it's hard because I feel ashamed that I would even have those thoughts and feel that low or that depressed," said Perry, the most followed person on Twitter with nearly 100 million followers. "I'm human and I'm living under this crazy microscope," she said, tears smudging her mascara. "Look at Katy Perry -- she's so glamorous, she's rich, she's luxurious, successful and, like, Katheryn Hudson -- I didn't have any money, I didn't have any influence, I didn't have anything." The former brunette said that her new hairdo -- cut short and dyed blonde -- was an effort to "be my authentic self 100 percent, so it hurts when I don't feel that I can." At another point of the weekend, Perry said she wanted to end her feud with Swift -- and broke out into "Let It Go," from the Disney film "Frozen." "I forgive her and I'm sorry for anything I ever did. And I hope the same for her," she told Arianna Huffington for the media entrepreneur's new Thrive Global project on wellness. "There's a lot of other things out there in the world that people need to be focused on," she said, adding: "God bless her, honestly." The two stars' rivalry blew into the open when Swift wrote the song "Bad Blood" after appearing to accuse Perry of poaching back-up dancers. Swift, one of the most prominent foes of Spotify, suddenly released her music on all streaming platforms Friday at the exact moment Perry's "Witness" came out.
