House Arrest, which began streaming on April 11, 2025, is marketed as an unfiltered version of popular captive reality formats like Bigg Boss and Lock Upp. Hosted by former Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan, the show features 12 participants—nine women and three men—locked inside a luxury villa, performing a series of controversial tasks.
One particularly criticised segment shows Khan instructing contestants to demonstrate sexual positions, prompting severe backlash online. In another moment, when a female contestant expressed unfamiliarity with a particular act, Khan allegedly asked other participants to enact it on camera.
Amid growing public concern, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi took to X, stating, 'I have raised this in the Standing Committee that apps like Ullu and Alt Balaji have managed to evade I&B ministry's ban on obscene content. I am still awaiting their response.'

The controversy comes just weeks after the Supreme Court issued notice to the Centre, OTT platforms, and social media networks on a PIL demanding stricter regulation and the banning of obscene content on digital platforms.

Gauri Khan's Torii has a 'secret door' for Shah Rukh Khan's family; AbRam's go-to order is..., SRK's favourite dish is...
When you're part of Bollywood royalty, glitz and glamour come with an unavoidable spotlight — and sometimes, the desperate need to escape it. That's where Gauri Khan's much-buzzed-about Mumbai restaurant Torii offers more than just its upscale Japanese-Asian cuisine. It hides something else too — a secret. Gauri Khan's Torii has a secret door In an exclusive interview with The Indian Express, Torii's head chef Stefan Gadit confirmed a long-speculated rumour: the restaurant indeed has a secret entryway. But don't expect to waltz through it unless your last name is Khan. 'Not everybody has access to the secret doorway — it's for the Khans,' Gadit revealed. The discreet entrance offers the Khan family — Shah Rukh, Gauri, and their children Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam — a rare escape from paparazzi, letting them enjoy meals without a media frenzy. Head chef reveals AbRam's go-to order, Shah Rukh's fave dish The Khan family doesn't just step in quietly — they have their favourites firmly marked on the menu. According to Gadit, AbRam is especially fond of Torii's sushi, and often places orders even when he can't visit. Suhana, too, has been spotted enjoying evenings at the restaurant with her friends. Aryan Khan, while more low-key, is said to be a regular as well. The family's collective presence is so natural at the venue, it even served as the celebration spot for Shah Rukh Khan's manager Pooja Dadlani's anniversary. As for King Khan himself? He's not immune to Torii's charm either. 'Shah Rukh has enjoyed the lamb chops we serve here — that's his usual order,' Gadit shared. A hotspot for the Bollywood elite With its moody interiors, sleek design (helmed by Gauri herself), and now a secret door straight out of a movie plot, Torii has become more than just another celebrity-owned restaurant — it's a hideaway. It's even made cameo appearances in Netflix's Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. In a city where the cameras rarely stop clicking, the Khans have carved out a quiet luxury — a place to dine, unwind, and do it all away from the noise.
