Home Viral This place recorded highest number of extra-marital affairs in India; it is…, not Delhi, Mumbai, Noida, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Kolkata This place recorded highest number of extra-marital affairs in India; it is…, not Delhi, Mumbai, Noida, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Kolkata As per Ashley Madison's latest data, Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu experienced the most signups in India, even surpassing large metros such as Delhi and Mumbai. This place recorded highest number of extra-marital affairs in India; it is..., not Delhi, Mumbai, Noida, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Kolkata In India, marriage is steeped in tradition. Marriage is viewed not only as a bond between two people, but also as a bond between two families, encompassing the values and responsibilities associated with them for a lifetime. Importantly, with changing times, changing lifestyles, and technological advancements, there are also changing patterns related to marriage. One trend that is staggering and surprising in the changing times is that of extra-marital affairs, which have significantly different rates between different areas. Ashley Madison, a married dating application, has just published user statistics for June 2025 — and as per the data, India is one of their fastest-growing markets, mainly due to an increase in new registrations from small cities and towns. Which Indian town topped the charts for extramarital affairs in 2025? As per Ashley Madison's latest data, Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu experienced the most signups in India, even surpassing large metros such as Delhi and Mumbai. This marks a significant shift, as the town was ranked 17th in 2024. None of the provided data provided an in-depth explanation for this intense spike, but Kanchipuram's extraordinary increase speaks to the app's growing influence in tier-2 and tier-3 cities — even as a number of larger cities see a relative slowdown in activity. Who are the top 20 Indian districts with the most extramarital signups? The newly released list of the top 20 Indian districts by Ashley Madison signups features a strong presence from the Delhi-NCR region. Notably, six districts within Delhi made the cut — including Central Delhi, which ranked second overall, along with South West Delhi, East Delhi, South Delhi, West Delhi, and North West Delhi. Additionally, neighboring cities like Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, and Gautam Buddha Nagar (Noida) also made the list which showcases the region's strong use of the platform. On the flip side, Mumbai sat at the bottom of the Top 20, but cities like Jaipur, Raigarh, Kamrup, and Chandigarh dominated. Tier-2 cities such as Ghaziabad and Jaipur were able to outperform traditional metropolitan hubs with higher total signups and actions. Ashley Madison explained that total signups weren't the basis for the new user signups; the metrics considered engagement and intensity of activity too, giving much more insight into changing trends around infidelity and non-monogamous relationships in India. What does Ashley Madison's data say about changing relationship norms in India? Earlier in April, Ashley Madison shared findings from a YouGov survey that looked at global trends in infidelity, revealing India and Brazil had the highest rates of admitted infidelity among adults. Specifically, 53 percent of Indian respondents admitted to having an affair — the highest overall in countries surveyed. Chief strategy officer at Ashley Madison Paul Keable said,' This data highlights a striking trend—India is leading the way in redefining modern relationships, with more than half of surveyed adults admitting to infidelity.' He stated, 'India is already ranked sixth among our global markets, and we anticipate it climbing even higher by the end of the year. These numbers suggest the growing acceptance of non-monogamy, and at Ashley Madison, we provide a space for people to explore those connections discreetly.'

Foreign Office issues guidance to UK tourists heading abroad
The Foreign Office has issued a message to anyone planning to jet away this summer, and has advised all Brits to do one simple thing before they pack their bags Brits planning a summer getaway have been given guidance from the Foreign Office. It's all too easy to dive into your holiday without considering potential issues. For instance, severe weather conditions on your flight day could result in cancellation. Alternatively, an unexpected incident near your accommodation might mean you can't stay there for your entire trip. Some nations also enforce stricter dress codes for travellers, even tourists. Luckily, there's a straightforward way for Brits to ensure they're fully prepared for their holiday in advance. Writing on X, the FCDO said: "Heading overseas? Before you pack your passport, check the latest Travel Advice for your destination. "You'll find all the key info from entry requirements to laws and cultural differences". Checking foreign travel advice The Foreign Office website provides up-to-date advice for British travellers for 226 countries and territories, including popular British holiday destinations like Spain, Italy, Egypt, Greece, and France. To utilise the website, simply locate the hyperlink for your destination country or type it into the search bar. The website will then provide you with any updated warnings and whether they remain current. For instance, the Foreign Office for Greece issued an update on 4 July about wildfires spreading through parts of the country. Despite the entry being updated at the start of the month, it underscores that the advice remains relevant due to the high risk of wildfires in the region throughout the entire summer season, spreading from April to October. The Foreign Office can also assist you in preparing for any emergencies by providing information on who to contact. For example, if you require emergency services in Spain, it is advised to dial 112 for police, fire services, or an ambulance. It also advises that if you need to report a crime, you can do so at the nearest station of the National Police, regional police, or Civil Guard. Important advice for those with travel insurance It is particularly crucial to stay updated on Foreign Office guidance if you have taken out travel insurance for the duration of your holiday. If the Foreign Office has warned against travelling to a certain region, you could be at risk of invalidating your travel insurance. If your insurance does become invalid, you could be responsible for footing the bill for any medical emergencies yourself. This could lead to excessively high costs depending on where you're travelling. For example, a fall resulting in a fractured leg in Spain could result in a bill of £2,500. Or in Greece, a quad bike crash requiring surgical intervention could result in costs ofover £80,000. Meanwhile, contracting a stomach illness or infection in the USA that demands hospital care could result in charges exceeding £150,000. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) warns: "When shopping around for travel insurance, make sure that the policy is right for your needs, and do not automatically opt for the cheapest. This is especially important if you have any pre-existing medical conditions." They also suggest taking out travel insurance the moment you book your trip to safeguard against potential losses like cancellation charges if sickness stops you from travelling. At the very latest, they urge getting it sorted before departing the UK, as many policies offer protection from the moment your journey begins until you get back home.

Feathered raptors and swimming spinosaurs: Hollywood is catching up with dinosaur reality
Write to us at . To subscribe, . TODAY'S STARTING POINT 'Jurassic World Rebirth' is not a particularly good movie. As Globe film critic Odie Henderson But while they may not be revolutionary filmmaking compared to the original 'Jurassic Park,' the new movies are evolutionary in portraying some of their prehistoric cast with greater scientific accuracy. It's part of a recent resurgence of depictions in documentaries, museums, and more that are collectively updating dinosaurs' popular image to better align with the latest fossil evidence — while still leaving room for Hollywood license. 'We're easily in what I would call another dinosaur media renaissance,' said Kiersten Formoso, a Rutgers University paleontologist who consulted for one recent documentary, the Apple TV+ series ' Advertisement 32 years in the making When 'Jurassic Park' premiered in 1993, its portrayal of dinosaurs as active, fast-moving, and social animals redefined them in the public imagination. But with new discoveries, other depictions have aged poorly. T. rex, for example, probably had lips to hide its banana-size fangs and didn't sound anything like the films' iconic roar, instead emitting low rumbles or hisses. The raptors? They were fully feathered, looking more like giant deadly birds than scaly monsters. Advertisement The latest sequels have revised some of the older films' more dated depictions. Take Spinosaurus, the sail-backed villain of the third movie who chased the protagonists around a tropical island. In the latest film, it's portrayed more accurately as a lithe, crocodilian swimmer with a paddle-like tail, short legs, and webbed feet that spent most of its time in water. The series has also The later films have also introduced newly discovered species like Dreadnoughtus, a long-necked plant eater whose fossilized remains one of Gold's friends helped unearth. 'It's not even just witnessing our general field being brought to life,' she said. 'It's my colleagues specifically, across the field, who get to see their own discoveries brought to life.' A prop for Dolores the Aquilops, a dinosaur species that made its cinematic debut in "Jurassic World Rebirth." Jamie McCarthy/Getty Other reimagined dinos can be found in documentaries, like an updated version of the BBC's ' Still evolving Most dinosaur media, though, still pits scientific fidelity against entertainment value. 'I think the newer movies are trying, sometimes successfully and sometimes unsuccessfully, to thread the needle,' Gold, the Suffolk paleontologist, said of the 'Jurassic' films. The results can be mixed. The latest movie's mosasaur — a giant seagoing lizard — looks and acts more like a whale, said Formoso. But the films have accurately depicted its fluked tail, lighter-colored belly, and extra set of teeth. Still, most of the raptors remain featherless. The T. rexes still roar, a bit of cinematic exaggeration that Gold can forgive (it's her ringtone). Advertisement The pace of discovery has also challenged museums, whose murals, placards, and life-size dinosaur models are harder to update. 'Depictions like that, they're out of date the day that they open,' said Mike Horvath, director of exhibits at the Boston Museum of Science.

Stevie Wonder wows huge crowd with hit-filled performance in Cardiff as he closes Blackweir Live gigs
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Away from all the controversies about the use of Blackweir in Cardiff for gigs, on Wednesday night I consider myself incredibly lucky to have been one of the tens of thousands to be standing in a park I love, in the my home city, listening to the absolute icon that is Stevie Wonder playing some of his classics just metres away from me. He is a global superstar with more accolades my word count will allow me to list, and he was right here on my doorstep, and what a night it was. The sun was shining, the venue was packed and he performed hit after hit after hit. Earlier in the week, as I was cooking dinner I'd asked Alexa to "play Stevie Wonder". For the next hour, every single song that came on was a classic, and seeing most of them live a few days later? Well, that's bucket list stuff. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . The 75-year-old performed for more than two hours - coming on stage just after 8pm, ending around 10pm, telling the crowd he "had to". Given half the chance, I reckon he'd have carried on, because I can't remember a gig I've seen where the artist was so clearly enjoying every minute. Coming on stage, guided by two of his children, he explained this night was all along the theme of Love, Light & Song - and drew attention to the importance of his outfit choice, a diamante studded jacket - with Martin Luther King on one side and Gandhi on the other. (Image: John Myers) He opened with Love's in Need of Love Today - a sentiment he explained was as important today as it was when released in 1976 and closed with As in between? Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours; Sir Duke and You Are My Sunshine, were highlights. He was presented, mid-show, with an honorary fellowship of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and gave an impassioned speech about his life with sight loss. He told the crowd, "the truth is, shortly after my birth I became blind. That was a blessing because it allowed me to see the world in a vision of trust, see people in the spirit of them, not how they look, not what colour they are, but their spirits". The audience sang, boogied, swayed, and it was amazing to see the variety of ages of people there. Those who have been around for some if not all his career which started in 1962, right through to those much younger who have presumably fallen for the soul singer later in his career. He was joined on stage by his son, and support act Corinne Bailey Rae, they were the only relative breaks he took in the whole set. An impressive feat in a performance that was soulful, full of spirit and little short of beautiful. This was the last of the gigs at Blackweir, although the row over the use of the public land for gigs rumbles on, but the reviews I'd heard beforehand that it was a well organised event were true when it came to getting in, but I would say if they return, I think there's some work to do on the logistics. Downloading tickets has been a problem throughout the series as people struggled to get signal. The area we were in was packed, with huge bar queues, and our plan to eat was scuppered when we saw the massive queues there too. (Image: John Myers) Getting out was a slow affair, with relatively narrow lanes for pedestrians to exit. But even then, you can't say it ruined a night that is one which I'll never forget. A friend said to me as we left 'it was once in a lifetime, wasn't it?" and I can't disagree.

Historic A's, Giants rivalry brings sold-out crowds to Sutter Health Park
It was a major weekend for Major League Baseball with the San Francisco Giants facing off against the A's in West Sacramento. The entire series was sold out, with over 12,000 fans in attendance at each game. The Giants took two games out of the series playing on their minor league team's turf and the A's on their temporary home turf. Fans got to experience up-close seats to watch homegrown players like Logan Webb and some of their other favorite players. "I don't think I've ever sat this close to a professional game," said Stephen Wegley, who lives in Rancho Cordova. The tickets came at a pretty price. The morning of ticket sales was around $225 on MLB's official site, whereas you could normally snag day-of tickets for under $50. "They were more expensive than I wanted, but we're here," said Jack Guidi, who lives in Stockton. Some Giants fans started their afternoon down the street from the Sutter Health Park at The Midway Bar. "We were looking for a place where we could find some easy parking and easy stroll to the park," said Jeff Lieberman who is a Giants fan. It is one of the West Sacramento businesses that made upgrades to its patio anticipating a Major League team would bring major business. "We thought it was going to bring in a little more business, but it does bring in new faces," said Micky Sisenglath, manager at The Midway Bar. Between the Fourth of July, a Saturday RnB brunch and the A's playing a team people want to see, Sisenglath said they finally got the crowds they have been waiting for. "He gets to grow up seeing his Giants and Major League Baseball in his hometown," said Rocky Lane who is a Giants fan. Director of Baseball Communications Mark Ling told CBS Sacramento these were the attendance numbers for the three-game series: Friday: 12,322 Saturday: 12,298 Sunday: 12,180 The A's will be back in action on Tuesday at home against the Atlanta Braves.
