Fan who recorded Bollywood actors' romantic outing claims they attacked her

A fan who recorded Bollywood actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s romantic outing in Florida claims they attacked her for filming them.

The video was shot by Zainab Khan and it was shared on the Instagram account of a photographer. Zainab commented alongside the clip stating Ranveer and Deepika have lost a fan for allegedly attacking her.


"I was the one who was attacked. I made this video! Such disrespectful actors! They lost a fan and their self-respect," she wrote.

When another Instagram user asked her to post the full video, Zainab said, "Just look at their face! They harassed me, I didn't have time to continue the video!"

Fans have been divided on whether Zainab did the right thing by filming the duo without their permission. While a good number of people defended the actors saying Zainab did not have the right to violate their privacy, there were many who said Ranveer and Deepika “signed up for it.”

Responding to negative comments, Zainab said: "I was a really big fan, but after meeting such horrible people, I have no words. First of all, I did not 'follow them around', I'm not a damn paparazzi. I am on vacation and I have better things to do with my life than chase around celebrities.

"I recorded them from a distance and I asked very politely if I may take a picture with them. For those of you saying we would respect their privacy, we all know anyone would have recorded," she said.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Hamlet trailer lands with Riz Ahmed in the lead role
  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
