TV actor Arjun Bijlani has clarified that his recent emotional Instagram post, which fuelled divorce rumours with wife Neha Swami, was merely a promotional stunt for his upcoming reality show Rise and Fall. The actor admitted he was “shocked” by the speculation, saying, “I never expected people to think that there’s a divorce going on.” He called the move “mischievous,” explaining that a delay in the show’s teaser left his cryptic video without context.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s first apartment in Mumbai, located in a Carter Road housing society in Bandra, is reportedly set for redevelopment. The buzz is that as part of the project, SRK will be allotted a 2,800 sq ft sea-facing flat in the same society. Before moving into his iconic bungalow Mannat, the star had lived in this apartment during the early years of his career, making it a significant part of his personal journey in the city. Reports suggest that homeowners are being compensated with upgraded units, and Shah Rukh is expected to receive one of the larger flats once construction is completed. We have learnt that SRK had bought this flat in Shree Amrit Society for approximately R40 lakh, after the release of his film, Guddu (1995). He and his wife, Gauri Khan, stayed there for 10 years, and this is the house where their children, Aryan and Suhana, were born in 1997 and 2000 relatively. SRK, along with his family, moved into Mannat in 2001.
