Aamir Khan rents four Bandra flats for £23,000 a month as Shah Rukh Khan becomes his temporary neighbour
With his Virgo Housing Society home under major redevelopment, Aamir Khan shifts into Wilnomona Apartments, just 750 metres from Shah Rukh Khan’s rented Puja Casa residence.

Bollywood star Aamir Khan rents four flats in Mumbai’s Pali Hill for £23,000 (₹24.5 lakh) per month.
Lease signed for five years amid redevelopment of his Virgo Housing Society apartments.
Khan paid £137,000 (₹1.46 crore) in deposit; rent to increase 5% yearly.
New address is 750m from Shah Rukh Khan’s temporary home at Puja Casa.
Aamir Khan has temporarily moved into four rented luxury apartments in Mumbai’s elite Bandra West locality, paying a hefty £23,000 (₹24.5 lakh) per month in rent. The Bollywood actor made the move as his own apartments at the Virgo Housing Society in Pali Hill are currently being redeveloped into an ultra-luxury tower.

Why did Aamir Khan rent new flats in Bandra?
The Dangal star has entered a five-year lease agreement, starting May 2025, for four units in Wilnomona Apartments, located in Pali Hill, a premium residential hub in Bandra West. According to real estate documents accessed via Zapkey.com, Khan paid a security deposit of £137,000 (₹1.46 crore), with additional costs of £3,750 (₹4 lakh) for stamp duty and £19 (₹2,000) for registration. The contract includes a 45-month lock-in period and an annual rent escalation of 5%.
This decision comes as the actor’s own residential building, Virgo Housing Society, is undergoing a complete overhaul. Khan reportedly owns 12 apartments in the society, which will be replaced by a high-end residential project with sea-facing units priced at over £940 (₹1 lakh) per sq ft.

Where is Aamir Khan living now?
Aamir's current address is Wilnomona Apartments, located just 750 metres from Puja Casa, the temporary home of fellow superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The two Khans, often in the spotlight for their professional rivalry and mutual respect, now find themselves practically neighbours.
Shah Rukh Khan has taken up temporary residence in Puja Casa while his iconic home Mannat is being renovated, with reports suggesting an additional floor is being constructed. Puja Casa is owned by producer Vashu Bhagnani’s family, including his children Jackky Bhagnani and Deepshikha Deshmukh.

What is the Virgo Housing Society redevelopment?
Located in Pali Hill, the Virgo Society is being redeveloped into one of the most expensive residential projects in the city. Reports suggest the new tower will feature apartments priced well above £9.4 million (₹100 crore), with premium amenities and a panoramic sea view. Once complete, Aamir is expected to receive upgraded flats in the same location.
This trend of celebrities opting for high-end rentals during redevelopment is growing in Mumbai’s affluent circles. Unlike earlier times when stars moved into hotels or service apartments, today’s Bollywood elite prefer renting full-fledged luxury homes within their comfort zones.
Which Bollywood stars live in Bandra and Pali Hill?
Pali Hill and Bandra West remain the go-to locations for India’s top film personalities. Alongside Aamir and Shah Rukh, stars like Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Rekha reside in the area. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are also preparing to move into their newly purchased quadruplex apartment at Bandra Bandstand with their daughter Dua.
With Mumbai’s luxury housing market witnessing skyrocketing prices and a wave of redevelopments, celebrities like Aamir Khan are setting new benchmarks, even with their temporary homes.
• Dhanush attended Mrunal Thakur’s birthday party in Mumbai on 1 August, sparking dating rumours. • Viral videos show the two sharing intimate moments and chatting privately at recent events. • Source claims the actors are dating but want to keep the relationship low-profile. • Neither Dhanush nor Mrunal have officially confirmed or denied the relationship.
Speculation around a potential new celebrity couple is growing, with South superstar Dhanush and Sita Ramam actress Mrunal Thakur making headlines after being spotted together at multiple events. On 1 August, Dhanush was seen attending Mrunal’s birthday party in Mumbai, an intimate event that also saw several stars in attendance. However, it was the chemistry between the duo that grabbed everyone's attention.
In a video from the party that quickly went viral, Dhanush is seen holding Mrunal’s hand, while the actress leans in to whisper something privately. Just hours earlier, he had also walked the red carpet at the premiere of Son of Sardaar 2, which stars Mrunal and Ajay Devgn. Their warm exchange at the event, captured by fans and media, only fuelled more dating chatter online.

Did Mrunal Thakur and Dhanush grow close through work?
Though the two haven’t worked together on-screen yet, sources claim their connection began through their professional circles. Mrunal has been expanding her presence in South Indian cinema following the success of Sita Ramam, while Dhanush continues to explore Hindi film projects. According to a source quoted by News18 Showsha, the actors crossed paths at an industry event in the South, where their friendship gradually developed into something deeper.
“It's true that they are seeing each other, but it’s still early,” said the source. “They’re not planning to go public yet. However, they’re also not hiding their outings either. Their friends believe they are well-matched, both value simplicity, privacy, and have similar work ethics.”

How fans and the internet are reacting to the dating buzz
The rumour mill kicked into high gear after several posts on Reddit highlighted a series of coincidences, including the possibility of a shared Spotify playlist and multiple joint appearances. The videos from the Son of Sardaar 2 screening and Mrunal’s birthday bash only added fuel to the fire. On X, fans debated the likelihood of a new romance. “Are Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur dating?” one viral post read, garnering thousands of views.
Some fans are convinced, while others remain sceptical. “They could just be good friends,” one user commented. Others expressed excitement about the potential pairing, calling it “unexpected but cute.”
Professionally, both stars are busy with major releases. Mrunal is currently promoting Son of Sardaar 2, which released on 1 August, and shooting Dacoit: A Love Story alongside Adivi Sesh. Dhanush, meanwhile, will be seen next in Tere Ishk Mein, directed by Anand L. Rai, slated for release on 28 November.
Interestingly, Mrunal was also seen at the wrap party for Tere Ishk Mein in early July. She posed for pictures with Dhanush and the film team, further fuelling rumours of their closeness. Filmmaker Kanika Dhillon, who hosted the event, posted group shots on Instagram with a caption that read, “Our OG Raanjhanaa in the house Dhanush, we love you! With friends old and new – big smiles, bigger hearts!”

Jenna Ortega appears with a sharper facial structure at the Season 2 premiere of Wednesday
Jenna Ortega’s appearance at the Wednesday Season 2 premiere triggered online speculation about buccal fat removal surgery.
Social media users commented on her sharper cheekbones and more hollowed cheeks.
The actress has not confirmed any cosmetic procedure.
Debate reignited over Hollywood beauty standards and pressure on young female celebrities.
Jenna Ortega’s striking transformation at the Paris red carpet for Wednesday Season 2 has sparked a heated conversation on social media. While her sculpted makeup and bold outfit turned heads, it was her noticeably altered facial features, particularly her slimmer cheeks and sharper jawline, that led fans to wonder whether the 22-year-old actress has undergone buccal fat removal, a controversial cosmetic trend gaining traction in Hollywood.
The buzz intensified after a tweet showing side-by-side photos of Ortega’s face before and after the event gained over 50 million views. “Stop the buccal fat removal,” the viral post read, with some users claiming the surgery made the young star look “aged” and “gaunt.” As speculation spread, the conversation quickly grew beyond Ortega herself, sparking fresh criticism of Hollywood’s obsession with a certain “sculpted” aesthetic.
Social media erupts over changes in Jenna Ortega’s cheekbones and jawlineGetty Images
What is buccal fat removal and why is it trending in Hollywood?
Buccal fat removal, also known as a bichectomy, is a cosmetic procedure where fat pads are removed from the cheeks to create a more contoured, hollowed-out facial structure. While it’s become popular among celebrities aiming for a sharper jawline, the trend has received backlash for promoting unrealistic beauty standards.
The procedure has no external scarring, as it is performed from inside the mouth. However, the change in appearance can be drastic, especially in younger individuals, where natural facial fullness is often seen as a sign of youth. Critics argue that removing buccal fat can age a person prematurely and erase their natural features.
In Ortega’s case, some fans insisted her look was simply the result of dramatic contouring, clever lighting, or even a new makeup team. Others, however, argued that the change appeared too drastic to be makeup alone, pointing to a more sunken cheek and a visible “dent” near her jaw.

How are fans reacting to Jenna Ortega’s new look?
Reactions online have been divided. While some fans defended Ortega’s right to experiment with her appearance, many voiced concern over how quickly Hollywood stars are altering their faces. Comments included comparisons to Donatella Versace and Edward Scissorhands, as well as questions about whether natural beauty is becoming a thing of the past.
“She’s going to look like Donatella if she keeps this up,” one user wrote. Another said, “She was naturally stunning. It’s sad that even young actresses feel the need to do this.” Others raised the issue of influence: “She has a massive young fanbase. This sends the wrong message about beauty.”
In response to the backlash, many have also pointed to a growing list of actresses, including Millie Bobby Brown, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Erin Moriarty, whose facial transformations have caused similar controversy.

Is the pressure to look a certain way affecting young stars?
The speculation around Ortega’s appearance reflects a deeper cultural anxiety about beauty standards in Hollywood. As more celebrities appear to slim down their faces or undergo subtle cosmetic enhancements, critics argue that the industry is promoting a skeletal, androgynous ideal that’s far removed from natural beauty.
Jenna Ortega has not commented on the rumours, but her silence hasn’t stopped the public from debating the broader implications. Many online have called for greater transparency around cosmetic procedures, especially when those decisions impact how young fans view themselves.

In the end, whether Ortega’s look was due to surgery or simply makeup artistry, the incident has once again shed light on the extreme scrutiny faced by women in the spotlight. For a generation growing up on filtered images and celebrity transformations, the line between beauty choice and beauty pressure remains uncomfortably thin.

Rajinikanth compares Lokesh Kanagaraj to SS Rajamouli at ‘Coolie’ event
Rajinikanth called Lokesh Kanagaraj “Tamil cinema’s Rajamouli” at the Telugu pre-release event of Coolie.
The superstar revealed he wanted to play Nagarjuna’s villainous role, Simon.
Lokesh addressed rumours of Coolie being a sci-fi or time travel film.
Coolie releases on 14 August, clashing with War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR.
With just days left for the release of Coolie, Rajinikanth’s remarks at the Telugu pre-release event have sparked major buzz. In a video message played during the event in Hyderabad, the superstar compared director Lokesh Kanagaraj to SS Rajamouli, praising his string of box-office successes and calling him “Tamil cinema’s Rajamouli.”
Why did Rajinikanth compare Lokesh Kanagaraj to SS Rajamouli?
In the video message, Rajinikanth said, “Lokesh Kanagaraj is like Rajamouli here. Just like all Rajamouli films are hits, even Lokesh’s films are always successful.” The statement drew loud cheers from fans at the event, many of whom took to social media to echo the comparison.
SS Rajamouli, widely regarded as India’s biggest filmmaker, has redefined Indian cinema with films like Baahubali, Magadheera, and RRR. Lokesh, on the other hand, has created his own mark through films like Kaithi, Master, and Vikram, and is known for building the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), something akin to Marvel’s approach but within Indian action cinema.
The comparison has now boosted expectations around Coolie, which is already being dubbed as a major pan-India release.
Interestingly, Rajinikanth revealed that he was initially drawn to Nagarjuna’s role of Simon, a sharply stylised villain in Coolie.
“After hearing the script, I really wanted to play Simon. I love negative roles. But when I heard Nagarjuna agreed to do it, I was shocked in a good way. He didn’t do it for money. Maybe he just wanted to break his ‘good guy’ image,” he said.
Nagarjuna, known for his calm charisma, takes a darker turn in Coolie, which adds another layer of curiosity for fans. Rajinikanth also mentioned how the role reminded him of his own early interest in playing antagonists before becoming a larger-than-life hero.
Speculation has been rife since the trailer dropped, with fans dissecting every frame for clues. The visuals hinted at futuristic tech and mysterious plot devices, fuelling theories that Coolie might explore time travel or science fiction.
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, however, dismissed these rumours. Speaking at the Hyderabad event, he said, “Everyone keeps calling it sci-fi or a time travel film. Even I was surprised! People will be stunned when they actually see what it’s really about.”
The mystery around the plot has only heightened interest, with Lokesh’s known affinity for plot twists and layered storytelling leaving fans hungry for answers.
Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie features a power-packed cast. Rajinikanth plays Deva, Nagarjuna Akkineni essays Simon, and Bollywood actor Aamir Khan joins the project as Daha. The ensemble also includes Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, and Reba Monica John, among others.
The film is set to release in theatres on 14 August, coinciding with India’s Independence Day holiday. It will directly clash with YRF’s high-budget action sequel War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR.
With the combined draw of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s storytelling, Rajinikanth’s comeback in a gritty action role, and an intriguing narrative, Coolie is poised to be one of the most talked-about releases of 2025.

The 2023 film became a massive commercial success and featured him in a double role as Vikram Rathore, a former soldier, and Azad, his jailor son who fights against corruption. The high-octane action film not only entertained audiences but also resonated with its message about justice and systemic change.
Vikrant Massey shared the Best Actor honour for his role in 12th Fail, making it a rare tie in the category, while Rani Mukherjee won the award for the Best Actress.

SRK cheekily responded: “Please brag about me to me when we sit for dinner tonight… thanks for producing the film.”
Director Atlee also shared an emotional note thanking Khan for trusting him with Jawan, to which the actor replied in his signature quirky style: “MAAASSS MAAASSS MAASSS… In the next song, we will do more steps. Love u.”

What did Shah Rukh Khan say in his video message?

Calvin Harris posts raw placenta photo after birth of baby Micah
Calvin Harris and Vick Hope welcomed their first child, a son named Micah, on 20 July in Ibiza.
Harris posted intimate images from the home water birth, including pictures of Vick’s placenta and its transformation into pills.
The post divided followers; some praised the transparency, while others found the graphic content unnecessary.
The image was later hit with an age restriction on Instagram due to complaints.
Scottish DJ and music producer Calvin Harris has stirred mixed reactions after announcing the birth of his first child with wife Vick Hope through a deeply personal Instagram post, which included graphic images of her placenta being processed into capsules.
The couple welcomed their son, Micah, on 20 July, during a home birth in Ibiza, and Harris shared a carousel of images capturing the moments immediately after the delivery. While some celebrated the candid post as a tribute to childbirth, others were stunned by the graphic nature of the photos, especially one showing Vick’s placenta and its conversion into pills, a practice known as placenta encapsulation.

Why did Calvin Harris share placenta photos?
Calvin Harris surprised fans by uploading a deeply personal Instagram post documenting the birth of his son, Micah, with wife Vick Hope. The carousel of photos included touching moments, such as baby Micah resting on Harris’s shoulder and Vick in a birthing pool, alongside more unconventional images, including a raw placenta, a food dehydrator used to dry it, and a jar filled with encapsulated placenta pills.
In his caption, the DJ praised Vick, calling her a “superhero” and expressing awe at her “primal wisdom.” He wrote:
“20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here! My wife is a superhero... Just so grateful. We love you so much, Micah.”
Singer Becky Hill applauded the post, commenting: “Amazing we grow a whole new organ to provide life! Good job not wasting it either, that’s some goddess magic right there!”
But not everyone reacted positively. The raw placenta image triggered enough complaints for Instagram to place an age restriction on the post, citing it as potentially graphic content.

What is placenta encapsulation and why is it controversial?
Placenta encapsulation involves drying and grinding the placenta into powder, which is then consumed in pill form. Advocates believe it offers benefits such as:
Hormone regulation
Increased energy
Prevention of postpartum depression
However, medical experts remain sceptical. A 2015 scientific review found no conclusive evidence of health benefits, and the CDC warns of contamination risks if not handled properly. Despite the lack of solid data, the trend continues to gain popularity among new parents and celebrities.
Social media users were divided. While some praised the raw honesty of the post, others found it jarring.
One user wrote: “I was NOT prepared for the placenta pic.”
Another added: “Placenta and placenta pills were not on my bingo card for today but OK.”
Others applauded Harris for normalising postpartum realities. A user commented: “Thank you for showing the truth behind childbirth and not just the polished parts.”
Still, some expressed discomfort with the unfiltered images being posted without a trigger warning.
What’s next for Calvin Harris and Vick Hope?
The couple, who married in September 2023 after dating on-and-off for nearly two decades, had kept their pregnancy relatively private. Hope had announced her maternity leave in May during her BBC Radio 1 show but opted against a formal pregnancy reveal, stating:
“I’m not the King. I do not see the point. It’s not for me.”
Harris has already returned to work, performing in Ibiza, and is scheduled to play the Rise Festival in Las Vegas in October.

Despite the backlash, the couple’s candid post has opened up broader conversations about birth, motherhood, and the visibility of topics like placenta consumption, rarely discussed so openly on celebrity platforms.
