I can be naked in front of a thousand people, I don’t give a sh*t. It’s just that they get uncomfortable,” said Ranveer.

Actor Mikaal Zulfiqar recently opened up about his divorce and idea of remarriage for the first time in a recent interview.
During a recent outing at a digital talk show, the Diyar-e-Dil star broke the silence on his failed marriage, while he also clarified the chances of him going for remarriage in future.
Addressing the question about his marriage with his ex-wife, model Sara Bhatti, Zulfiqar responded, “In my marriage, I had certainly felt the pressure to clarify things with my wife. I would feel bad for her.”
“The nature of this work can lead to your spouse making assumptions even if there is no truth to them at all,” he added.
He also touched upon the idea of remarriage but elaborated that his work and daughters with his ex-partner are his current priority. “I am still scarred and scared but I am open to the idea of remarrying,” he told the show host. “I don’t about it all the time, though. I am very busy with work and I have my girls.” For those unversed, Mikaal Zulfiqar married model Sara Bhatti in 2012 after being engaged for two years. In 2017, the former couple announced their divorce publicly.
The ex-pair have two daughters together.
He announced his split in 2017 on Facebook: “Wanted to say this for a while. Finally found the courage to do so. Sad to announce, unfortunately my marriage of 6 years has ended. After a long separation and despite efforts from both ends, things could not be resolved, which has resulted in divorce.”
Now his ex-wife Sara Bhatti has reacted to this new in her Instagram stories. She termed Mikaal’s revelations to be false and claimed that she was a supportive spouse.
Sara also revealed that she has been slammed on social media over the last few years.
On the work front, Mikaal is currently being seen in ARY Digital’s Fraud and Geo’s Chauhraha.
In a lengthy Instagram note in October 2020, Sana announced that she is quitting the entertainment industry to “serve humanity and follow the order of her creator.” She went through a tough time before that because of her split with choreographer Melvin Louis in 2019, who she also accused of cheating.
It was in November 2020 when she announced her marriage with Surat-based businessman Anas Saiyad. She has been living her life travelling to Maldives, visiting Haj and has also launched her clothing line, Haya by Sana Khan among other exciting things.
Revealing why she left showbiz in the first place, Sana recently told Times Of India, “In my past life of course, I had everything, name, fame, money. I could do anything and everything that I wanted but one thing that was missing was peace in my heart. I was like everything but why am I not happy? It was very tough and there were days of depression, there were days when I would get God’s message, his signs.”
What triggered her decision? Sana added, “In 2019, during Ramadan I still remember I used to see a grave in my dreams. I would see a burning, blazing grave and I could see myself in the grave. I just saw the empty grave, I saw myself. I felt this is the sign that God is giving me that if I don’t change, this is what my end is going to be. That got me a little anxious.”
Actor Ayeza Khan has landed in hot water after strong accusations by her brother Ahad’s ex fiancee Aruba Tariq. The incident came to light when Aruba took the matter to her Facebook account and described it in detail. She blamed Ayeza for sabotaging her wedding, mistreating her, being a terrible mother, arrogant, bitchy and for hating her in-laws.
Tariq said that she and Ayeza’s brother used to like each other and he (Ahad) proposed her after they connected on social media. She further added that the plannings of their wedding events were in full swing but then they didn’t marry because Ayeza’s brother Ahad is a cheater and his family is a liar, she also disclosed that Ayeza’s brother was not even graduated but his family told that he’s a well educated guy and is doing a good job.
She accused Ahad and said that he is solely relying on Ayeza’s financial support. She further disclosed about Pyare Afzal actress that she is a horrible mother and she also hates her husband’s family as well.
Aruba also disclosed that Ayeza’s family mistreats their servants and they didn’t even give job to any person who belongs to a different sect. She also said that all their servants run away within the short period of three months.
Not only this, she also said that Ayezha Khan’s brother was also with the actress Sarah Khan.
According to Galaxy Lollywood’s conversation with Aruba, Ayeza used to taunt her that “pehle mere bhai ki shaadhi Sarah se honi thi, wo to bohat kamati thi.” Indirectly she wanted Aruba to take financial responsibility of Ahad and take him abroad with her.

Hollywood star Emilia Clarke has revealed that she did not expect to retain her speech ability after suffering from two brain aneurysms.
Getting candid about her health troubles in a new interview, the Daenerys Targaryen of Game of Thrones was surprised she was still able to speak and communicate normally despite missing parts of her brain, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Having gone through several surgeries to treat her brain aneurysms, Emilia Clarke offered updates on her health during an appearance on BBC One’s ‘Sunday Morning’.
“The amount of my brain that is no longer usable – It’s remarkable that I am able to speak, sometimes articulately,” Emilia Clarke shared her astonishment.
“And live my life completely normally with absolutely no repercussions,” she continued in the interview airing on July 17.
She went on to express gratefulness for being one of the lucky ones, saying: “I am in the really, really, really small minority of people that can survive that.”
Emilia Clarke then brought up the result of her brain scans.
“There’s quite a bit missing! Which always makes me laugh,” she lightheartedly spilled, adding, “Because strokes, basically, as soon as any part of your brain doesn’t get blood for a second, it’s gone. And so the blood finds a different route to get around but then whatever bit it’s missing is therefore gone.”
Back in 2019, the actress said that she couldn’t bear to look at her own reflection in the mirror post-surgeries.
“After my operations I didn’t want to look at my own face. I was so full of drugs from being in the hospital that I had a lot of water retention, and one half of my face was quite swollen,” Emilia Clarke told Stylist magazine.
“I felt so deeply unattractive. What I can see now is that I could see the pain behind my eyes. And no amount of anything can cover that.”
Clarke was reported to have suffered from aphasia following her aneurysms, which is a language disorder affecting a person’s ability to communicate. At one point, the “Last Christmas” actress was even unable to recall her own name. In 2019, she launched a charity by the name of SameYou that aims to raise funds to help those recovering from brain surgeries and strokes.
