Hansika Motwani removes wedding pictures from social media, fans speculate if she is heading towards divorce
It looks like there is trouble in paradise, as actor Hansika Motwani deleted all the pictures of her wedding from her Instagram page. Hansika worked as a child actor in the 2003 film Koi Mil Gaya, starring Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, and Rekha. The film ultimately gave birth to the Krrish franchise, and Hansika moved on to booking lead roles in Telugu and Tamil films. Her work in the South include films such as Desamuduru (2007), Kantri (2008) and Maska (2009), Mappillai (2011) and Engeyum Kadhal (2011). She got married to entrepreneur Sohael Khaturiya in 2022, in a destination wedding at the Mundota Fort and Palace near Jaipur. But the marriage seems to have hit some kind of a wall, as the actor recently deleted all the images of her wedding from her Instagram page. The wedding and the couple's entire relationship were very well documented and even presented to the fans in the form of a limited series that streamed on JioHotstar titled Hansika's Love Shaadi Drama. Without any prior context, the actor suddenly took down all the pictures from her wedding and has reportedly also moved to her mother's house. Fans on the internet are wondering about the reasons behind this sudden move and whether this means that Hansika and Sohael's marriage is over. ALSO READ: Shah Rukh Khan's co-star, who started working at 5, says acting doesn't pay: 'You've to do brand deals, endorsements to make money' Many publications and tabloids on the internet have been claiming that the couple had been living separately since July, but no official confirmation has been made by either Hansika or Sohael. In the limited series that told the story about their relationship, fans discovered that Sohael had been previously married to Rinky Bajaj, someone who seemed rather close to Hansika as well. The actor had even attended their wedding and was trolled by a lot of fans for allegedly 'stealing her friend's husband.' In the same series, Hansika addressed these claims and said, 'Just because I knew the person at that time doesn't mean it was my fault. I have nothing to do with this. Because I am a public figure, it was very easy for people to point at me and make me the villain. This was a price I pay for being a celebrity.' Sohael, who is a proprietor at the textile company Avante Texworld, had been inactive on Instagram since 2023 and has now made his profile private. The absence of social media, deleted pictures, and rumours of living separately all point towards the fact that Hansika and Sohael's marriage is definitely going through something, but nothing has been confirmed by either of the parties yet.

The makers of 120 Bahadur have now dropped the much-awaited teaser — and it roars with scale, soul, and searing patriotism. Featuring Farhan Akhtar in a fierce avatar as Major Shaitan Singh Bhati (PVC), the first glimpse promises a cinematic war epic rooted in courage and sacrifice. Inspired by the real-life heroism of the Battle of Rezang La (1962), the teaser offers a pulse-pounding look at the bravery of 120 Indian soldiers who stood their ground against thousands. At its heart is the thunderous declaration: 'Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge!" — a line that echoes throughout the visuals and sets the emotional core of the film. The makers, taking to their official handle, posted the teaser along with the caption, 'Yeh wardi sirf himmat nahin, balidaan bhi maangti hai! Based on the incredible true story, this is a war forged in snow and sealed with sacrifice. 120 Bahadur teaser out now. Releasing in cinemas near you on 21st Nov, 2025." Marking Farhan Akhtar's powerful return to the big screen, the teaser showcases him in a transformative role — intense, restrained, and deeply stirring. His portrayal of Major Shaitan Singh is already drawing acclaim for its authenticity and quiet command. Shot across Ladakh, Rajasthan, and Mumbai, and mounted on a never-before-seen scale, 120 Bahadur recreates the war front with an unflinching eye. From frozen terrains to battlefield silence, every frame carries weight. Directed by Razneesh 'Razy" Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani & Farhan Akhtar (Excel Entertainment) and Amit Chandrra (Trigger Happy Studios), 120 Bahadur releases in cinemas on 21st November 2025. Meanwhile, Farhan Akhtar will return to the director's chair with the upcoming film in the Don franchise, starring Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles. Earlier, Kiara Advani was supposed to star in the lead role, but the actress stepped away to fulfil her maternal duties. Meanwhile, Arjun Kapoor was last seen in Mere Husband Ki Biwi with Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar.

Parineeti's Healthy Protein Chaat Recipe Is The Guilt-Free Tasty Snack You Need
Last Updated: Parineeti Chopra delights fans with a healthy and tasty protein chaat recipe made with air-fried papdi, Greek yogurt, chutneys, and love. Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra has just made snacking guilt-free and glamorous. She went to Instagram to post a speedy, healthy and totally scrumptious recipe — a protein chaat prepared right at home. 'Eat and show off to people (like I'm doing)," she mentioned in the happy story that put smiles on fans' faces and growls in their tummies. The recipe, posted on her Instagram story, immediately gathered attention as being easy and earthy. A Healthy Spin on Chaat with Substitutions Forget deep-fried street food. Parineeti's version gives the beloved chaat a nutritious spin. She begins by making mini besan (gram flour) rotis. Instead of frying them, she pops them into the air fryer — crisp, oil-free and golden. She stacks these crunchy papdis with a good spoonful of Greek dahi, minced onions, sour imli (tamarind) chutney and green chilies. Steamed aloo (potatoes) provides heft, and a sprinkle of black chaat masala completes the dish. Each mouthful resembles a perfect combination of health and bliss. She also advises, 'Eat and show off people (like I am doing)." Who is Parineeti Chopra? Parineeti Chopra is one of Bollywood's most versatile talents. She started her acting journey with Ishaqzaade in 2012, where her bold and lively act caught the eye of critics as well as the audience. Since then, she has been seen essaying all kinds of characters across genres—from light-hearted rom-coms to hard-hitting dramas. She's not only recognized for her on-screen talent but for her off-screen personality too, frequently giving us peeks into her life and interests on social media. Fans Love Her Relatable Vibe Parineeti's fans adore her for her honesty, warmth, and relatability. Her latest post is no different. With simple ingredients and an even simpler approach, she makes it easy for anyone to recreate this protein chaat at home. By replacing fried with air-fried, and adding Greek yogurt, she healthifies the street food favourite. It's a conscious pleasure that doesn't dip into taste. Back to Screens Soon Parineeti Chopra was seen most recently in the musical drama Amar Singh Chamkila, with Diljit Dosanjh. The film, which is about the popular pop star duo Amar Singh Chamkila and Amarjot Kaur, was released on Netflix on April 12, 2024. Now, the actress is gearing up for a mystery thriller series on Netflix. Directed by Rensil D'Silva and produced by Siddharth P Malhotra, the untitled show also stars Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anup Soni, Jennifer Winget and Chaitannya Choudhry. It promises to be yet another exciting project in Parineeti's growing OTT journey. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
