Actor Ajay Devgn has reacted to his wife and Bollywood superstar Kajol’s recent comment about if marriages should have an “expiration date”.

Speaking on her recently-released OTT show, Kajol reflected on the evolving meaning of love and relationships in the modern era.

During the conversation, her co-host Twinkle Khanna asked whether marriage should come with an “expiry date” and the option of renewal. Kajol agreed with the idea, while Khanna and guests Vicky Kaushal and Kriti Sanon disagreed.

“I truly believe this. What guarantee is there that you marry the right person at the right time? Having a renewal option makes sense. If there’s an expiry date, no one would have to endure pain for too long,” Kajol said.

With Kajol’s statement stirring a debate over the internet, her husband and actor Ajay Devgn shared his perspective in a separate interview, saying that the meaning of love has changed over time.

“Love has become ordinary. It’s not what it used to be. The words ‘I love you’ are now used so casually that they’ve lost their depth. Back in our time, saying ‘I love you’ was a big deal. Today, people don’t understand the gravity of those words.”

Actor R Madhavan echoed Ajay’s sentiments, noting that earlier generations treated love with great sincerity and even signing a card carried deep meaning. Ajay added that nowadays, “every message ends with a heart emoji or simply with ‘love’.”

Kajol and Ajay Devgn first met on the set of the 1995 film Hulchul. Four years later, the two tied the knot, becoming one of Bollywood’s most celebrated couples.

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has slammed the people who secretly filmed a video inside Breach Candy Hospital where 89-year-old fan favourite Dharmendra was admitted after suffering a medical emergency. 

Taking to X, Amitabh wrote, “No ethics, koi bhee achaar-neeti nahin.” The video, filmed inside a hospital room, shows Dharmendra hooked up to various machines and appearing unconscious while his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol stand by his bedside. A woman who’s face cannot be clearly seen can be heard sobbing and asking Dharmendra in Punjabi to not go away.

At one point, a very emotional Bobby holds his father’s feet while Sunny hugs the crying lady and leads her to a chair. More people can be seen in the room, however, most of them do not look like hospital staff. 

Some Indian outlets have reported that the video was filmed by a member of hospital staff. 

Social media burst out in outrage over the video, with many calling it a breach of privacy. Breach Candy, a swanky hospital that is frequented by many of Mumbai’s rich and famous, has not commented on the matter. As of now, no staff member has been charged or arrested for filming the actor in the room.

The popular actor, known in the 80s as Bollywood’s ‘He-Man’, was admitted to the famous Breach Candy Hospital on November 10 after he complained of breathing issues while at home. 

As news spread of the legendary star’s illness, his famous children started visiting one by one. Footage captured by paparazzi outside the hospital showed Dharmendra’s eldest son, the action star Sunny Deol, leaving from hospital looking visibly emotional. Some news outlets were quick to report that the 89-year-old had been put on a ventilator or had died, but Sunny’s team then put out a statement saying, “Dharamji is still in the hospital. Doctors have not advised him to go home. His condition is improving. He is being monitored and is not on a ventilator.”

Later in the night, A-listers of the Indian film industry, including superstars Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan, visited Dharmendra in hospital. His younger son, Bobby Deol, his wife Hema Malini and his daughter Esha Deol also visited the actor in hospital.

As fans prayed for Dharmendra, news outlets again jumped the gun late at night, saying that he had died. Early on the morning of November 11, Esha Deol took to Instagram to confirm that her father was recovering. In a blistering attack on media, she wrote: “The media seems to be in overdrive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy. Thank you for the prayers for Papa’s speedy recovery.”

The Punjabi star was discharged and sent home to recover one day later.

Dharmendra was born in Punjab in 1935. The actor has a career that spanned over six decades, and included streaks of hits including his most famous role, smash hit Sholay’s Veeru. He has remained active in the industry even late in his career, last appearing on screen in 2024 in the film Teri Baaton Main Aisa Uljha Jiya.

Former Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza has revealed that she suffered something that was very similar to a panic attack after her marriage with Pakistani cricketing star Shoaib Malik ended. 

The tennis player invited Bollywood choreographer Farah Khan to the first episode of her podcast ‘Serving it Up With Sania’. There, she revealed that Farah was standing by her during the low moment which took place just before she was supposed to start recording a live show. 

“There was a moment that was one of the lowest moments when you (Farah Khan)

 showed up on my set and I had to go on a live show after that,” Sania said. “I was shivering. And if you would not have come there I wouldn’t have done that show. You told me, ‘No matter what, you are doing this show.’”

Farah recalled that she was “scared” to see Sania on that day. ” I had to shoot that day, but I just left everything and came there in my pyjamas and chappals.” 

Farah then went on to praise Sania for being an exemplary single parent. “You’re doing it beautifully,” she remarked.

Sania married Shoaib in 2010 at the peak of her tennis career in a multi-day ceremony that spread out across India and Pakistan. The two became parents to a boy in 2018, naming him Izhaan Mirza Malik. While the couple managed a long-distance relationship, rumours and speculation about the state of their marriage followed them for years. 

In January 2024, Shoaib announced that he had married actress Sana Javed, after which Sania’s family admitted that the star couple was already divorced. 

Sania’s sister Anam Mirza said at the time that the couple had formally separated months before the public acknowledgement of their divorce.

Actor Usama Khan recently appeared on the popular talk show Hasna Mana Hai, where he shared candid insights about his personal life. During the episode, host Tabish Hashmi asked him, “When will you get married?” Usama responded by saying that he hasn’t found the right girl yet.

He also shared that he is ready for marriage and has informed his family about his intentions. However, since he hasn’t met the right partner yet, wedding plans are on hold.

 Usama emphasized an important point, saying, “I think if a person gets married before 25, it’s easier, but it becomes more difficult later.” 

The candid conversation gave fans a glimpse into the actor’s personal life beyond his on-screen roles. Known for his versatile performances and charm, Usama’s honesty and thoughtful approach toward relationships resonated with his audience. 

The discussion highlighted the importance of waiting for the right partner while being mindful of timing.

In the alleged kidnapping and theft case involving social media influencer Samiya Hijab Jafferi, arrested suspect Hassan Zahid has confessed to his crime before a district and sessions court in Islamabad.

As per the details, Islamabad police presented the accused before Judicial Magistrate Yasir Mehmood Chaudhry.

During the hearing, the judge asked Zahid the reason behind the threats and Hijab’s attempted abduction. To which the accused admitted guilt and responded, “Sir, I made a mistake.”

The police requested an eight-day physical remand of the accused, stating that they needed to recover a vehicle, pistol and cash from the accused. The court, however, granted a five-day physical remand, handing him over to the police.

On Monday, a case was registered against Zahid at Islamabad’s Shalimar Police Station for allegedly harassing the influencer and hurling death threats while also attempting to abduct her.

The social media influencer, in the FIR, said that the suspect had been stalking her for several days. “Today’s incident further escalated when he attempted to forcibly abduct me from my house while I was returning his gifts. This amounts to abduction, harassment and assault under the law. For evidence, I have CCTV footage.”

She also posted on Instagram a video, narrating the incident.

Shortly after, Islamabad police arrested the man, saying that action was taken after Hjiab’s complaint and video statement wherein she claimed she was attacked by the man who also tried to kidnap her.

Hijab took to Instagram to thank Islamabad police and mentioned that the suspect had threatened her to take her complaint back. “I am not one of those girls who cannot raise their voices for their rights,” she said.

The case against Zahid was registered under Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 365 (Kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine person), 392 (punishment for robbery), 500 (punishment for defamation), 509 and 511 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).

Meanwhile, old videos of both Samiya and Hassan are going viral on social media. The videos suggest the two shared friendship in the past.

A selfie of actors Adeel Husain and Syra Yousuf has gone viral on social media, generating buzz that the actors are in a relationship.

Sharing a selfie with Syra and his niece, Adeel wrote, “Lucky that I get to call you my life (18.8.25)”. 

They duo can be seen having a good time in the photo. Some netizens believe that the caption of the post is for Syra but others say its not. 

It has not been confirmed by both the actors whether they are seeing each other or not.

The two were seen together at a clothing brand launch event in and at the wedding of their mutual friend.

Syra Yousuf was previously married to Shahroz Sabzwari, thing the knot with him in October 2012. However, the couple got divorced in February 2020. Syra and Shahroz have a daughter named Nooreh.

The Sinf-e-Ahan actress has a very healthy relationship with her ex-husband and his family.

In a recent podcast, Syra got candid about what it’s like to co-parent her daughter Nooreh with her ex-husband, Shahroz and how therapy helped her learn to separate her personal feelings as an ex from her responsibilities as a mother.

“I had to really work on it,” she shared. “Because when something goes against your nature, but it’s necessary to do it, you end up growing as a person. Co-parenting has taught me how to kill my ego. So now I know that when it comes to Nooreh, I shouldn’t think of myself.”

On the other hand, Adeel shared his thoughts on marriage and personal life in Ushna Shah’s show last year. Ushna asked Adeel about his Irish girlfriend and his views on marriage. The actor responded by emphasising that he has never been one to hide the details of his personal life.

He mentioned that he believes in being transparent about his relationships and that all his personal photos are publicly shared on his social media accounts, making it clear that there is nothing to conceal from his fans.
