  • ‘If I had not married…’: Hira Khan breaks silence on early marriage to Arslan Khan

    Actress Hira Khan recently opened up about her marriage to actor Arslan Khan and why he was the perfect match for her.

    In a new interview with a local media outlet, Hira Khan spoke candidly about her husband and marital life. When asked what made her believe that Arslan is the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with, she said, “Because he healed me in ways he didn’t know.”

    Further hinting at her dreamy flashmob proposal for her now-husband, the ‘Woh Pagal Si’ star added, “I wanted to make that moment special for him because he had already done so much for me.”

    Hira Khan also emphasized that they see each other as equal partners. She explained, “There is no man in our relationship, we are equal partners. Of course, the respect and responsibilities of a woman are in place but we see each other as two equals.”

    When asked about their early marriage, Khan said it was the right time for her. She told the publication, “If I had not tied the knot with him then, perhaps I would have never married anyone.”

    Hira Khan and Arslan Khan tied the knot in a grand ceremony last year, following a dreamy proposal by Hira. The couple revealed that they first met through a mutual friend during a power breakdown in Karachi.

    As Hira shared, “I’d known him – from Instagram – and then we met for the first time and there were sparks definitely, at least from my side.”
    The actors mentioned that they became close friends, but Arslan’s mother first suggested they get married after meeting Hira.

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

    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.
