Salman Khan's Rumoured GF Iulia Vantur Says ‘Love Is The Reason I'm In This World': ‘He Believed In Me'
Romanian singer Iulia Vantur, long linked to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, is opening up about her creative journey and the influence of love in her life.
Romanian singer and performer Iulia Vantur has long been in the spotlight—not just for her musical collaborations, but also for her close association with Bollywood's beloved superstar Salman Khan. While whispers of romance have swirled for years, Vantur has often let her work do the talking. In her latest interview with The Times of India, the singer opened up about her gratitude toward Salman, her artistic journey, and her views on love and marriage.
When asked whether her creative identity has ever been eclipsed by her connection to Salman Khan, Iulia responded with grace and gratitude. 'I am grateful that he believed in me and trusted my abilities," she said. 'To be guided by someone who has been in the industry for so long is a privilege."
Most recently, Vantur lent her voice to a soulful rendition of the timeless classic Lag Ja Gale in Salman's Eid release Sikandar. This marks yet another musical collaboration between the two, following tracks like Selfish (from Race 3), Seeti Maar (Radhe), and the romantic music video Main Chala with Guru Randhawa.
But it wasn't just about the music. Vantur spoke of love as a compass in her life, saying, 'Love is the reason I'm in this world." The statement, both poetic and poignant, added fuel to the ongoing curiosity about her relationship with Salman.
In an older interview with Bollywood Hungama, Iulia had brushed off questions about marriage to Salman with a laugh, stating that what truly matters is the bond between two people. 'Marriage is important for society, but it should come from love, not pressure," she had said.
The singer also recalled a moment with her mother, who once asked when she planned to settle down. 'I asked her—do you want your daughter to just be married, or truly happy?" Vantur revealed.
Adding to the speculation, Iulia had shared pictures from her father's birthday earlier this year, which featured Salman Khan as a special guest. The actor, dressed in his signature casual look, posed alongside Iulia and her family in what looked like a warm, intimate celebration.

Kajol says her husband Ajay Devgn harassed her on the sets of Maa because of...
Kajol is all set to come back with a bang on the big screens. Her performances are loved on screen, and this time the actress will be seen in a whole new avatar in a horror movie. The movie Maa is set to hit the big screens on June 27. As the promotional events of the movie kick-started, Kajol opened up about several anecdotes which shook everyone and at the same time made them laugh too. The actress revealed the pros and cons of working with husband Ajay Devgn. In another conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Kajol jokingly said, 'What should I say about this producer? He has harassed and troubled me a lot! No one will believe it (laughs).' However, after this fun joke, she immediately became serious and said, 'No, he was a great producer. I have to say this.' Kajol recalled a special conversation with Ajay, where they talked about gender roles. She said, 'My husband Ajay ji once told me that you are very lucky. You don't know how lucky you are. You can become Nysa's friend. You will also become a grandmother one day. You are a mother. You have been my wife. You have played all these roles very well and naturally. You did not have to make any special effort. But today, being a man, I have to work hard to play all these roles.' Kajol further said, 'Women are taught this since childhood. We adjust so easily.' Coming back to the trailer of Maa, this is the first horror movie of Kajol. Interestingly, the film is a mythological horror film. Kajol stars alongside Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma. Directed by Vishal Furia and written by Aamil Keeyan Khan and Saiwyn Quadras, Maa is produced by Kajol's husband, Ajay Devgn. Kajol is also involved in other projects, including The Trial Season 2.

After Rana Daggubati, Kajol slams paparazzi culture as ‘disrespectful' and intrusive
Bollywood actor Kajol has slammed paparazzi culture as disrespectful and intrusive. In an interview with a portal, Kajol — star of the upcoming horror film Maa — took issue with being constantly tailed by photographers, and how it violates an actor's personal space. 'I am a little conscious with paps,' Kajol told Bollywood Hungama. 'I think there are certain places where they shouldn't be. Like I find it very strange when they run after actors at someone's funeral and ask for photos. I find that odd and a little disrespectful. I find it strange that you cannot even go for lunch.' In the past, several film celebrities (including Kajol) have expressed their annoyance with pap culture. A 'pap' or paparazzo is a photographer engaged to click pictures of celebrities, often milling outside airports, gyms and restaurants. While some are invited or handed 'tip-offs' by an actor's publicity team, there are also those who turn up unannounced or behave indecorously. Most recently, actor Rana Daggubati lost his cool after being pursued by photographers at the airport. A video went viral of Daggubati, a major Telugu star who features in the Hindi-Telugu web series Rana Naidu, accidentally dropping his phone after a stranger bumped into him. The actor, waving his hand in displeasure, looked annoyed at the snappers who continued filming him. Speaking about the airport incident, Daggubati later told India Today, 'I didn't call them (the photographers). I don't like it. I don't like them in my personal space, and I have been very vocal about it. They come outside my home, which I have respectfully told them [not to do]. And even at airports, they still turn up. I think it's pretty annoying.'

Housefull 5 box office collection day 6: Akshay Kumar film marches on, beats Salman's Sikandar lifetime in under a week
Housefull 5 box office collection day 6: Tarun Mansukhani's comedy Housefull 5 has continued its stellar record at the box office despite middling reviews and criticism of sexism in the plot. Despite all that, the film has fared well at the ticket window, avoiding big drops during the weekdays. Housefull 5 earned ₹8 crore net in India on Wednesday, the sixth day of its release, taking its total to a more-than-healthy ₹119 crore. Having earned ₹119 crore net domestically in just six days, Housefull 5 has now become the third-highest-grossing Hindi film in India this year. It is now ahead of Salman Khan's Sikandar, which netted ₹110.3 crore in India during its full run. Ahead of Housefull 5 is Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, which has minted ₹174 crore, and is still adding to it. And at the top spot, out of these films' reach is Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which minted a staggering ₹601 crore in India. Housefull 5 has earned over $5 million overseas, which means it is inching close to ₹200 crore worldwide. It would be the fourth Hindi film to breach that mark once it reaches there on Friday. As of Friday, its estimated worldwide collection stands just above ₹185 crore. This makes it Akshay Kumar's highest-grossing film of the year, beating Sky Force ( ₹168 crore) and Kesari Chapter 2 ( ₹144 crore). As Housefull 5 inches towards the ₹200-crore mark, many are compelled to call it a superhit. It is no mean feat for a comedy to reach that mark. However, for Housefull, box office success is more nuanced. The film features 34 other actors of note apart from Akshay, including big names like Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, and Jackie Shroff. This, along with the film's expensive shoot on board a luxury cruise, has made it the most expensive comedy film made in India with a reported budget of ₹240 crore. Trade insiders tell HT that the film needs to cross that mark in its net collection or go past ₹300 crore worldwide to be labelled a clean hit. The producers are already in the clear courtesy of the sale of satellite, music, and digital rights. But the distributors will hope that Housefull 5 can net them some profit too. As things stand, Housefull 5 will, in all likelihood, not be a failure at the box office. It may end up recovering its cost, and if it sustains its momentum, it may end up being a hit, too. Housefull 5 is the story of a murder on a cruise ship. A wealthy billionaire (Ranjeet) dies and leaves his wealth to his successor, Jolly. The twist is that there are three Jollys on the cruise - Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan. A doctor who can unravel the real Jolly's identity is brutally murdered. So immediately, the three and their girlfriends (Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, and Nargis Fakhri) are all suspects in the murder. The film has been released with two endings.
