PM Shehbaz calls Makkah pact a ‘historic milesto…

Arbaaz Khan has found himself at the center of an unusual reality TV crossover. He appeared in a promo for Lock Upp 2, even though his brother Sohail Khan is currently competing on an entirely different show, Alliance. The odd connection between the two shows did not go unnoticed. It even caught the attention of Uorfi Javed, who could not resist reacting. In the promo, Arbaaz stepped in to defend Sohail. He responded to comments being made about his brother and made it clear he was not going to let negative remarks slide. He kept his response light and playful, showing off some comic timing in the process. Uorfi shared her thoughts on Instagram stories soon after watching the clip. She pointed out how strange yet interesting the situation was. Arbaaz was busy promoting Lock Upp, while Sohail was fighting his own battle on Alliance. She found the whole thing amusing and said so openly. She did not just stop at her stories either. Uorfi also praised the idea behind the promo directly in the comments section. She joked that whoever came up with the concept deserved a raise for pulling off something so clever. Her comment quickly picked up attention online, with many fans agreeing that the crossover was a smart marketing move. The promo video itself showed Arbaaz having some fun with the format. He mimicked several Lock Upp 2 contestants, including Ram Kapoor, Shreya Kalra, and Akanksha Choudhary. His impressions added an extra layer of humor to the clip. Filmmaker Farah Khan also joined in on the reactions. She laughed at how committed Arbaaz was to the bit, calling out his dramatic flair in her comment. Adding more excitement to the mix, reports have suggested that Salman Khan might make a special appearance on Alliance. The idea is that he could show up to support Sohail during his journey on the show. So far, though, neither Salman Khan nor the makers of Alliance have confirmed anything official about this rumored appearance. For now, fans can catch new episodes of Alliance streaming on Prime Video. Lock Upp 2, meanwhile, continues to air its episodes from Saturday through Thursday each week.

A social media claim suggesting that Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan publicly backed the ongoing student demonstrations at Jantar Mantar in Delhi has been found to be untrue, following verification against his official accounts. A screenshot circulating widely online alleged that the actor had voiced solidarity with the protesting students. The post claimed he described himself as standing behind them “emotionally and morally.” The image spread rapidly, and a large number of social media users took it at face value, assuming Khan had genuinely made a public statement on the matter. But a closer look at his verified profiles told a different story. Neither his official Instagram nor his X account contained any post referencing the protest. According to various reports, the mix-up likely originated from a fan-run account operating under his name, which had been posting updates related to the demonstrations. A number of users apparently mistook these fan posts for statements coming directly from the actor himself. As the fake screenshot kept circulating, other users began flagging it as inauthentic. Comments pushing back on the claim appeared across social platforms. One person simply labeled it “Fake.” Another echoed the sentiment, writing, “This is fake.” A third user challenged those sharing it, asking why they were “spreading fake news” when the actor “has not posted anything.” Yet another dismissed it in Hindi, writing “Fake hai.” For his part, Shah Rukh Khan has stayed silent on the protest altogether. His attention, based on available reports, remains directed toward his upcoming release, ‘King’, rather than commentary on the demonstrations. The protests themselves have drawn considerable attention, pulling in thousands of participants. The gathering followed the larger ‘Chalo Sansad’ march, which appears to have been a catalyst for the broader movement. At this point, there is no confirmed or verified statement from Shah Rukh Khan addressing the protest in any capacity. Until his official channels indicate otherwise, claims attributing such remarks to him should be treated as unverified and, based on current evidence, false.
