    Bella and Gigi Hadid, daughters of Palestinian property tycoon Mohamed Anwar Hadid, have always supported the Palestinian cause. Bella recently shared her heartbreak over the “devastating loss of the Palestinian people” in an Instagram post.

    Bella also highlighted her commitment to Palestine by wearing a dress made from keffiyeh, a traditional Palestinian cloth, at the Cannes Film Festival. She called it “a beautiful way to represent the history and resilience of Palestinian culture.”

    Salman Khan fan detained after reaching actor’s residence to marry him

    A woman was detained after she arrived outside Bollywood star Salman Khan’s Panvel farmhouse to meet and marry him.

    Indian media reported that the woman, claiming to be a die-hard fan of the Wanted star, was constantly heard saying she wanted to marry the actor.

    While Khan was not at his residence as he is currently in Italy for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding bash, locals alerted the police who detained her outside the farmhouse.

    The incident came to light at the same time that reports have stated that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has planned another attack on Salman Khan, reportedly at his Panvel farmhouse.

    The woman, from Delhi, was later handed over to an NGO for counseling.

    An official at the NGO said that the fan was brought to the shelter home on May 22 and was found in a serious condition. “She refused to listen to us and wanted to marry Khan. She was fully in love with his screen image,” he added.

    The woman was then referred to a local hospital for psychiatric treatment. At the same time, the authorities also called her mother from Delhi, who took her daughter back home after eight days of therapy and counseling.

    Meanwhile, the woman said. “After coming to Panvel and undergoing all this (treatment), I have realized that I was wrong. He (Salman) is living his own life, and is not the same as what he does in films,” she added.
