Back then, if I had any money, I would either save it or invest in something meaningful. One of my biggest dreams was to buy a house for myself in Bombay.
My goal was always to find a sense of stability and enough financial comfort to pay rent for at least the next two or three months, so I could continue going for auditions without the stress of immediate survival. That was my version of splurging, securing peace of mind."

Did MONSTA X's Hyungwon's girlfriend 'switch over' to THE BOYZ's Sunwoo? Here's how Minhyuk got dragged into drama
MONSTA X's Hyungwon has unexpectedly found himself entangled in the ongoing controversy surrounding THE BOYZ. A new wave of dating and behavioral rumors has been spreading across the K-pop scene. What began as isolated allegations against members of THE BOYZ, including claims of underage drinking, smoking, and secret relationships, has quickly escalated. The rumors have now expanded to include male idols from several other groups, including MONSTA X. Hyungwon and fellow member Minhyuk have become the latest names swept up in the viral rumor mill. Viral post links Hyungwon and Sunwoo Earlier, it was claimed that THE BOYZ's Sunwoo is currently dating an Instagram influencer named Juuhana. But the twist? On June 10, a post on X (formerly Twitter) alleges that she previously dated Hyungwon from MONSTA X. It soon went viral. The now-viral claim read, 'The girl Hyungwon from MONSTA X was dating switched over to Kim Sunwoo, so Minhyuk went to the waiting room and told Kim Sunwoo to get his act together.' This unexpected narrative fueled speculation online, prompting intense scrutiny from fans and netizens alike. Minhyuk also caught in the crossfire Shortly after the post spread, another anonymous account uploaded a now-deleted photo. It allegedly shows Minhyuk on a date with a woman at Seoul Forest on Memorial Day (June 6). The caption suggested a deeper involvement between Minhyuk and the developing situation, though the photo has since been removed. While the authenticity of the photo remains unverified, it has only added fuel to the fire. It further dragged MONSTA X members into the chaos. Agency breaks silence On June 11, THE BOYZ's agency finally addressed the situation. In an official statement, the company denounced the spreading of baseless allegations. They also warned of strict legal action against anyone distributing or fabricating false information. Fans split between concern and fatigue The news has left fans divided. Some expressed concern over the constant invasion of idols' privacy and the spread of harmful narratives. However, others showed support for Hyungwon and Minhyuk, calling for verified facts before jumping to conclusions. As of now, MONSTA X agency has not addressed the dating rumors, and the alleged connection between Hyungwon, Sunwoo, and Juuhana remains unconfirmed.

Fatima Sana Shaikh clears the air: 'Anurag Basu does work with a script'
Actress Fatima Sana Shaikh is clearing some misconceptions about filmmaker Anurag Basu . The actress has reunited with Anurag for the second time for the upcoming film, 'Metro... In Dino' having collaborated with him earlier in 'Ludo'. The actress recently spoke with IANS, and shared her experience of working with him, and what goes on the sets of an Anurag Basu film as the day unfolds. She also clarified that Anurag does work with a script by his side. Speaking with IANS, Fatima said, "I love working with him. Actually, there is a misunderstanding. He's a very organised person. When you're on set, your entire day goes by in 5-6 hours. You never shoot overtime. He's so fast. He can easily shoot 4-5 big scenes in a day, which is very tough for people, especially in big films where the cast is also big". The actress further mentioned that Anurag is highly productive, and knows what he wants, as she said, "It takes a long time, but he's highly productive. He knows his shots. He doesn't waste time figuring out. He knows what he wants". Years ago, Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor had claimed in a podcast with comedy collective AIB that Anurag works sans scripts in his films, as he shared his experience of working with him in 'Barfi' and 'Jagga Jasoos'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Didn't Anyone Tell You About This Power Saver? elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo However, Fatima's account differs from what Ranbir experienced as an actor in 'Barfi' and as actor-producer in 'Jagga Jasoos'. When asked if Anurag comes fully-prepared, the actress told IANS, "I think he's more than fully-prepared. I think he's just too instinctive. Also because he comes early, he does the blocking, he performs on his own. People don't see that. For actors to come, and just fully surrender, learn the lines, and do everything that they're doing, at that moment, for that, everything else has to be perfect. It's never like the actors come, and there's lighting, or figuring out, or blocking. It's never like that. He's always 100% ready. And there's space to explore". "It's not possible that a director doesn't know what he wants to make or that there is no script. It's impossible because you cannot make a film like 'Barfi' or 'Jagga Jasoos'. It's highly technical in that way. To make that world, and to make it so realistic, if you do not have a clear vision, you cannot make that possible", she added. Presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series presents, in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd., 'Metro In Dino' is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar , Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu. The film is set to arrive in cinemas on July 4, 2025. Fatima Sana Shaikh poses with paparazzi
