Chinese-American TikToker meets Mumbai woman who says Jackie Chan is her boyfriend, helps her start fruit business

If your algorithm hasn't yet served you clips of Miles Moretti – a Chinese-American TikToker known for his peppy, floral outfits – strutting through city streets, are you even online?
Moretti is currently exploring India, and his latest stop, Mumbai, led to an unexpectedly heartwarming moment. In a video that's now melting hearts online, Moretti bumps into a spirited local named Rose Heaven Francis. Known in her Mumbai neighbourhood for caring for over 200 stray dogs and cats, Rose lights up the screen with her infectious energy. When Moretti asked how many languages she speaks, she demonstrated by talking in many.
Rose seeks Moretti's help – buying some milk or food for the stays – and when he offers to help her set up a business, she says there's a particular thing – a cart – she'd like him to buy for her so that she can sell fruits.
While the duo sets off on an expedition to figure out what exactly Rose is asking for, at one point, Rose tells Moretti that her boyfriend lives in Hong Kong. 'You have a boyfriend in Hong Kong?' Moretti asks, to which she says, 'Yeah – Jackie Chan.' Moretti bursts into laughter.
Eventually, Moretti understands what Rose needs, and the next day, he returns with exactly that – a cart with fruits.
'I'm not rich and I usually don't do this stuff on camera, but after running into Rose while out filming and hearing her story, in the spur of the moment I thought I'd assist in helping her find a decent way to support herself,' he wrote in the caption. 'You can't save the whole world, but helping one person is definitely doable.'

The video, which was posted on his Instagram (@milesmoretti) about a month ago, quickly went viral, racking up over a million likes. People flooded the comments with love for both Rose's infectious personality and Moretti's kind-heartedness. One user commented, 'She definitely has some Kenyan connection.. as much as she said she's from India… loved this video.'
Another user wrote, 'This is soo beautiful! That's how u offer help by empowering them for better future too.'
A third user wrote, 'My new favorite interview!! She is hilarious.'A fourth individual quipped, 'Jackie Chan is a lucky guy!'

Margaret Cho says Ellen DeGeneres was 'not nice' to her for most her career

ANI Published 23 Jun 2025, 09:19 AM IST Washington DC [US], June 23 (ANI): Actor-comedian Margaret Cho has accused Ellen DeGeneres of treating her poorly throughout most of her career, despite their long history in the comedy world. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cho, in a recent episode of The Kelly Mantle Show, said, "Ellen was really weird and not nice to me for most of my career...I opened for her in the 1980s, when she was a headliner in comedy clubs, way before her big fame. Later, when I would do her talk show in the 2000s, she acted like we had just met." "And I'm like, 'Bitch, what?' That's weird. We go way back. It's so creepy and weird," the Grammy and Emmy nominee joked. Cho also spoke about an incident involving the late singer David Bowie. She attended one of his concerts wearing a "Chinese emperor outfit." Later, Bowie appeared on DeGeneres' show and reportedly complimented Cho's outfit several times. But Cho said the compliments were cut from the final show. "The producer, who's a really good friend of mine, had to call me and tell me, 'I can't believe she did this, but she cut it out of the show.'" Cho recalled. "'But you need to know that he was going on and on about your outfit. God said your name. He loves you.'" In 2020, Cho also commented on the allegations of a toxic work environment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. According to The Hollywood Reporter, while speaking on the Hot Takes & Deep Dives podcast, she said, "I think she definitely is scary. I'm still scared of Ellen. Everyone should be scared of Ellen. I would have no idea what it would be like to work for her." The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended in 2022 after 19 seasons. Ellen had also faced criticism and controversy after reports detailed claims of a toxic workplace. (ANI)
