“I then started serving momos to the customers and they loved it. It's crazy how famous this shop actually is. And in literally just one hour, we sold 118 plates of momos. And then it was time for a break. And as soon as my break ended, the crowd started increasing. I then had to get more momos, fry them, make them special, refill the water, and serve soup to the customers. One plate is 110 rupees and we sold around 950 plates today,” the post shared on Instagram read.

In a separate news, YouTuber Ishan Sharma faced intense backlash on X after he tweeted about buying his first house in Bengaluru. Many accused him of lying, referring to an old video he posted years ago about a house. Social media users claimed that he already had a house, and his recent tweet about owning one for the first time was engagement baiting. For the first time since the controversy, the content creator has opened up, sharing his side of the story.

While addressing the old video in question, he posted, “The video I posted 2 yrs ago was a tour of the rented house. It was my first time living on my own away from parents and I even talked about the problems with renting it at 20:00 in the video.”

His post about buying a new house got ‘community noted’ after netizens expressed their doubts. He also urged X to remove it from his profile. “Requesting the X team to kindly remove the false community note. Its misinformation at best.”
