Humraahi finale to be screened in Cinemas 

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has reportedly stepped down from the highly anticipated biographical drama based on the life of controversial entrepreneur and Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover, citing creative differences with director Rahul Mody. ​The project, which gained considerable traction in industry circles earlier this year, was set to feature Khan taking on the role of the outspoken BharatPe co-founder. Khan, known for his meticulous approach to character development, was reportedly fascinated by the Indian startup ecosystem and had spent significant time developing the script to align with his creative vision. However, fundamental disagreements regarding the narrative direction eventually led Khan and director Rahul Mody to part ways before production could commence. ​Despite the departure of its leading star, the project remains active and on track. Director Rahul Mody and actor Shraddha Kapoor—who is attached to the project both as a co-producer and as the female lead playing Grover’s wife, Madhuri Jain Grover—are continuing with the production. The team has reportedly initiated conversations with two to three top, relatively younger actors to take over the title role of Ashneer Grover. ​The upcoming film aims to chronicle Grover’s rapid rise within the corporate startup sphere, his tenure on television, and the high-profile legal controversies that followed his exit from BharatPe. Khan, meanwhile, remains occupied with a busy slate of projects, including his upcoming period drama with director Ashutosh Gowariker and the anticipated sequel to 3 Idiots.

American pop star Katy Perry experienced an unexpected scare during a live concert in Malta after a planned stage stunt went off course, leaving her stranded inside a giant inflatable water bottle. Videos of the incident quickly spread across social media, attracting millions of views and sparking widespread discussion among fans. The 41-year-old singer used the oversized inflatable prop as part of her performance. The stunt was designed to allow the audience to carry the giant inflatable over the crowd and guide it back toward the stage, where a large decorative straw had been placed as part of the performance. However, the plan did not go as expected. Instead of moving back toward the stage, the inflatable drifted deeper into the audience. As the crowd carried the prop farther away, Perry found herself unable to return to the stage as intended. Videos shared online showed the singer trying to keep her balance while sitting inside the inflatable bottle. As she realized she was being carried farther from the stage, she called out to fans and urged them to take her back toward the performance area. After several minutes of confusion, concertgoers managed to change the direction of the inflatable and safely guided Perry back to the stage. She resumed her performance without any injuries and completed the concert. Speaking about the incident later on social media, Perry laughed about the unexpected moment. She explained that she often uses the giant inflatable during her concerts to interact with fans. However, she admitted that on this occasion she had travelled much farther into the crowd than planned and briefly worried she might not be able to return to the stage. The unusual incident quickly became one of the most talked-about moments online. Fans shared countless videos, memes and humorous posts inspired by the singer’s famous songs. Many praised Perry for remaining calm and handling the situation with a sense of humour. At the same time, some social media users questioned the safety measures surrounding the stunt. They raised concerns about crowd control and wondered whether such a large inflatable prop should have been allowed to move through a packed audience without clearer supervision or guidance.

US influencer and hairstylist Sara Gilson was fatally shot in what authorities are investigating as an apparent murder-suicide, just weeks after she publicly accused her estranged husband, Jeremiah “Shawn” Duffey, of being a paedophile in a viral TikTok video. The tragic incident has drawn widespread attention, raising concerns about domestic violence and online safety. Gilson, 43, had built a strong following on TikTok by sharing lifestyle, beauty and family-related content. She also worked as a hairstylist in Oklahoma and frequently posted videos featuring her children and everyday life. Shortly before her death, one of her TikTok videos went viral after she claimed she had discovered disturbing information about her estranged husband. According to investigators, police responded to a 911 call from Gilson’s home in Owasso, Oklahoma, on July 23. A child inside the house contacted emergency services, and the dispatcher reportedly heard screaming and crying before a loud noise. Officers later found Gilson and Duffey with fatal gunshot wounds. Authorities believe Duffey shot Gilson before taking his own life. The investigation remains ongoing. The case has gained national attention because it followed a series of legal actions taken by Gilson. Court records show she had filed multiple protective orders against Duffey over the years, with the most recent one granted shortly before her death. The order required him to stay away from her and leave their shared home. Separate court documents also reveal that another protective order had been filed on behalf of a 15-year-old girl, accusing Duffey—who coached a youth basketball team—of inappropriate sexual conduct. Those allegations are separate from the homicide investigation and had not been resolved in court at the time of the incident. Gilson’s final TikTok posts received millions of views after she alleged that her estranged husband was a paedophile. The videos quickly spread across social media, with many users expressing concern for her safety and urging authorities to investigate the claims. Following her death, those posts resurfaced as people reflected on the tragedy. Friends and followers have remembered Gilson as a devoted mother and a positive presence online. A fundraising campaign has since been launched to support her children, while tributes continue to pour in across social media. Many users have described the incident as a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers faced by victims of domestic abuse. The case remains under investigation, and authorities have not announced any additional criminal proceedings because the suspected shooter is deceased. Meanwhile, advocates say the tragedy highlights the importance of taking threats, protective orders and allegations of domestic violence seriously, while ensuring victims have access to timely protection and support.
