Last Updated: Yuzvendra Chahal shared a cryptic post after Dhanashree Verma broke her silence about their divorce. In other news, Jessica Hines' old response on Aamir Khan has resurfaced. Weeks after cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal's podcast with Raj Shamani, his ex-wife Dhanashree Verma recently opened up about the emotional weight of ending her five-year marriage with the cricketer.

There have been several rumours about Aamir and Jessica's relationship and their alleged child born out of wedlock while Aamir was still married to his first wife, Reena Dutta. As these headlines grow, here's a look back at when Jessica denied commenting on her bond with Aamir Khan while speaking to News18 Showsha. Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur, a well-known business tycoon and chairman of mobility giant Sona Comstar, died of cardiac arrest in June at just 53. His death has since led to legal wrangles and claims over the family-run empire. But in the middle of boardroom battles and inheritance disputes, his sister, Mandhira Kapur, has revealed how her mother was made to sign legal papers by several people, including Sunjay's wife, Priya Sachdev. Mandhira told Republic, 'What papers are they not showing us that they'd gotten signed in this 13-day period that they've taken over? My mother was made to sign papers behind locked doors. And this wasn't once, but twice." She added, 'I was standing at the door banging on it. She was grieving." Shah Rukh Khan is on cloud nine, not because he is coming up with a film but because it's the directorial debut of his son Aryan Khan. Today, for the very first time, he introduced his son on stage to address the press and talk about his show The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan got emotional and requested everyone to give his son 150% of the love they have given him over the years.

Suri admitted that he had to 'unlearn" much of what he had picked up over the years while directing seasoned actors. 'I would give credit to them for their chemistry. We did workshops. Somewhere, while directing them, I realised that I can't force my vision. When I met Ahaan and Aneet, I realised that I had to go into their world, since I was 20 years older than them. The chemistry came out of them," he told Zoom. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
