Salman Khan flaunts watch worth Rs 36.6 lakhs, says it's a tribute to family legacy
Bollywood actor Salman Khan has made headlines once more, but this time, not for a blockbuster movie or for a social cause. Rather, the actor has made eyes roll with the launch of an ultra-luxury watch that's as much a personal revelation as a fashion accessory.
A personal story encased in steel
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, known for his exquisite sense of luxury watches, has partnered with acclaimed luxury brand introduce a limited-series watch called 'The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Salman Khan'. The actor posted an unboxing video on Instagram, and to our surprise, the watch was showcased in a specially designed turquoise box.
Design that speaks volumes
The watch itself is a lesson in craftsmanship and symbolism.
It has two individually adjustable time zones, tinged saffron and green—colors saluting the Indian flag. This considerate touch not just salutes Salman's patriotism but also the worldwide stature of his stardom.
Exclusivity and price
The 'World Is Yours' watch is worth Rs 36.6 lakhs, which defines its exclusive nature and limited quantity.
Salman's ongoing journey
In the professional realm, Salman Khan was most recently seen in Sikandar with Rashmika Mandanna.
He will soon start shooting for Apoorva Lakhia's next film, an adaptation of the novel India's Most Fearless 3, which will be made against the backdrop of the Galwan Valley Conflict of 2020. Salman is also said to be in talks with renowned Malayalam director Mahesh Narayanan for another big-ticket project.
A timepiece that speaks more than time
Salman Khan's new tie-up with Jacob & Co. is not only a reflection of his elegant taste in high-end watches, but also a very personal item that celebrates heritage, family, and national pride. While the actor goes from strength to strength on as well as off screen, this watch is a reminder of his own journey—a tale now strapped to his wrist.

Legal experts warn of increasing IP infringement as AI and digital platforms proliferate
With the Delhi High Court granting interim protection to the intellectual property rights of the 1994 Hindi filmAndaz Apna Apnato prevent the unauthorised use of its characters, title, dialogues and artistic elements, entertainment industry experts say there is gradual recognition of the increasing threat to intellectual property (IP) ownership, especially with the proliferation of digital platforms and AI technologies. These rights are being infringed upon in new and sophisticated ways, particularly in the case of older, iconic films through unauthorised use in derivative works, stage plays, YouTube series, or even web content that tries to bank on the popularity of the original. The emergence of social media has led to a surge in clipped movie scenes, fan edits, dubbed Reels, and remixed dialogues, often circulated for ad revenue or to boost influencer engagement. Legal experts say these practices frequently border on or cross into infringement, especially when the content is monetised. As AI technologies make unauthorised use more rampant and accessible, filmmakers who may have earlier relied on reputation or informal industry norms to protect their work are now formally enforcing their rights through innovative legal means. Also Read: How Zakir Khan, Bhuvan Bam and Kusha Kapila hit the big time Last month, the Delhi High Court restrained over 30 individuals and entities from "reproducing, using, or commercially exploiting content related to the film (Andaz Apna Apna) without permission." Vinay Pictures, represented by Shanti Vinaykumar Sinha, the legal heir of the film's late producer, Vinay Sinha, filed the lawsuit. 'Popular films from the past are often commercially exploited without authorisation. Iconic dialogues are printed on merchandise, clips are used in YouTube compilations and social media Reels, and songs are reused in digital content without proper licensing," Aishwarya Kaushiq, partner, disputes practice, BTG Advaya, said. Securing sequels, remakes In some cases, creators produce remakes, sequels, or adaptations—both online and offline—without acquiring rights. AI tools are increasingly used to recreate well-known characters or scenes, and mobile games often incorporate elements that resemble those from classic films, all of which infringe on the original IP, she added. On the monetisation aspect, the apparent objective here is to capitalise on the nostalgia and enduring popularity of these films. By leveraging recognisable characters, quotes, or visuals, infringers aim to drive engagement, boost product sales, or increase views—without sharing revenue with the rightful IP holders. Gaurav Sahay, founder partner, Arthashastra Legal pointed out that AI has further complicated this by enabling the recreation of actors' faces, voices, and iconic scenes, which can then be used in spoof videos, tribute content, or even digital advertising, all without needing any actual footage or consent from the rights holders. 'AI tools can produce content that closely mimics or even recreates the original work, often without needing access to the actual source files, with startling accuracy. The low barrier to entry has democratised creativity, but it has also opened the floodgates to infringement," Sahay said. Also Read: Independent producers, boutique studios veer towards regional cinema for big gains He added that such content spreads rapidly across digital platforms, from YouTube to Instagram, generating views, engagement, and even revenue for creators who have not contributed to the original work. In many cases, viewers may not even realise that what they are watching is AI-generated, blurring the line between original creation and synthetic imitation. AI has accelerated and anonymised the infringement process. It has empowered a new class of content creators who may not fully understand or respect IP boundaries. Enforcing rights 'The use of Gen AI for infringing copyright is a significant legal issue and will only grow with time. It is being used to duplicate film characters and music by amateurs as well as increasingly by businesses in the context of product or business endorsements on social media. This is seen generally in moment marketing campaigns conducted by many brands despite the legal risk associated with such unlicensed or unauthorised use," Ameet Datta, founder and managing counsel, ADP Law Offices, said. To be sure, filmmakers who may have earlier relied on reputation or informal industry norms to protect their work are now formally enforcing their rights. Sahay said proactive IP audits are conducted to identify and consolidate ownership over various elements of films to ensure they have a legally enforceable foundation in place. Where a single viral clip or AI-generated parody can damage or dilute a brand, filmmakers are recognising the need to future-proof their IP through vigilant legal oversight, contracts that reflect modern realities, and timely enforcement when their rights are breached. Filmmakers are now assigning digital rights for their past works or negotiating new licensing deals with OTT platforms and music streaming services, ensuring they maintain control over how their content is distributed and reused. Changing clauses Many are now amending clauses in their existing contracts that account for newer forms of exploitation, including AI-generated adaptations, derivative content, or non-fungible token (NFT) usage. There is also an emphasis on digital watermarking and blockchain-based copyright tracking, which allows filmmakers to prove ownership in cases of online infringement. Also Read: Old hits and IPL screenings offer buzz, but not cash for cinemas 'We're seeing a clear shift in how filmmakers, including veterans, are approaching IP protection. Many are now taking proactive legal steps to not just seek registration of their IP but also seek enforcement of copyright, trademarks, and moral rights," Essenese Obhan, managing partner, Obhan & Associates, said. 'Legal teams are also being engaged for continuous monitoring, takedown requests, and litigation wherever needed," Obhan said, adding that the recent interim stay in theAndaz Apna Apnacase signals an encouraging trend of courts recognising and enforcing these rights, despite the complexities introduced by new technologies.

Adnan Sami breaks silence on his dramatic weight loss transformation: 'There was no bariatric surgery or liposuction'
Adnan Sami addresses public curiosity about his weight loss, dismissing surgery rumors. He reveals his father's illness and a doctor's warning served as a wake-up call, prompting a commitment to change. Guided by a nutritionist's high-protein diet in Houston, Sami shed 120 kg in six months through dedicated lifestyle adjustments, emphasizing discipline over surgical intervention. Adnan Sami 's incredible transformation has long been the subject of public curiosity and speculation. Now, the acclaimed singer and composer is finally telling his side of the story. In a heartfelt conversation, Sami sheds light on the emotional turning point that sparked his weight loss journey and puts an end to rumours about surgical intervention. No Surgery, Just Discipline In his recent appearance on India TV's Aap Ki Adalat with Rajat Sharma, Adnan recalled a turning point in his life that pushed him to begin his weight loss journey. At the time, his father was battling pancreatic cancer and took him to London's Cromwell Hospital for a check-up. The doctor gave a grim warning, telling him that if he continued with his current lifestyle, he might not survive another six months. While the warning initially didn't shake him, it was his father's emotional plea later that night—urging him to change for the sake of his future—that truly hit home. Deeply moved, Adnan made a firm commitment that very night to turn his life around and began working towards a healthier lifestyle. Guided by Nutrition, Driven by Determination The composer and singer clarified that his dramatic weight loss had nothing to do with bariatric surgery or liposuction. Speaking on Aap Ki Adalat, he shared that a skilled nutritionist in Houston designed a high-protein diet plan for him, which helped him shed the extra kilos. For those unaware, the singer had lost around 120 kg in just six months back in 2016, dropping from 230 kg through dedicated lifestyle changes.

Housefull 5 team's Pune event turns chaotic, Akshay Kumar requests crowd to calm down
The cast of the upcoming comedy film Housefull 5, including Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Soundarya Sharma, and Fardeen Khan, travelled to Pune on Sunday for a promotional event. The fan gathering, held at a popular city mall, quickly turned chaotic as thousands of fans showed up, leading to a near-stampede situation. As the actors took the stage, excitement surged through the packed mall. Fans filled every corner — from the event zone to the upper floors and balconies. Videos now circulating on social media show emotional scenes, with young girls in tears and attendees at the back struggling to breathe and find space. Amid the rising tension, Akshay Kumar took charge. From the stage, he folded his hands and made a heartfelt appeal in Hindi, 'Haath jod ke binti karta hu, yaha auratein hai, bacche hai, please dhakka-dhukki mat kariye (I fold my hands and request you — there are women and children here, please don't push or shove.)' His calm yet firm message helped restore order. Once the situation was under control, the event continued as planned. The stars interacted with fans, danced, and even played phoogdi, a traditional game, spreading joy and laughter. Despite the rocky start, the Housefull 5 team managed to leave fans delighted, though the incident has raised concerns about crowd management and safety at such large-scale promotions. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, 'Housefull 5' stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir. The makers had dropped a teaser on April 30, marking 15 years of the Housefull series. It featured a new story, set on a fancy cruise ship and a murder mystery.
