When Aditya Pancholi spoke about how he fell in love with Kangana Ranaut despite being married to Zarina Wahab; claims he gave her Rs 55 lakh to buy a house
Aditya Pancholi, known for roles in films like 'Dayavaan' and 'Bajirao Mastani,' faced controversy due to his personal life. Despite being married to Zarina Wahab, his relationship with Kangana Ranaut became a focal point. Kangana accused Pancholi of physical abuse, recounting a painful chapter that began when she was 17. Aditya Pancholi comes from a film family that owned Pancholi Arts, once the largest studio in pre-partition Lahore. He began his acting career with the TV show Shahadat in 1985 and rose to fame with Dayavaan in 1988. Over the years, he played key roles in films like Yes Boss, Hameshaa, Baaghi, Race 2, Jai Ho, and Bajirao Mastani. However, his personal life often made more headlines than his film career. A Married Man Linked With Many Actresses The actor is married to former actress Zarina Wahab , and the couple has two children — Sooraj Pancholi and Sana Pancholi. Despite being married, Aditya has often been linked to several Bollywood actresses. Among these, his relationship with Kangana Ranaut drew the most attention. The controversy escalated when Kangana accused him of physical abuse. Living Together & Financial Support When Kangana Ranaut entered the film industry, her relationship with Aditya Pancholi quickly became a hot topic. Despite being married, Aditya reportedly fell in love with Kangana, and the two even began living together. In a 2008 interview with Mumbai Mirror, Aditya claimed he gave her Rs 55 lakh in cash to help her buy a house. Aditya Recalls How It All Began Aditya also spoke about how his relationship with Kangana Ranaut began, describing it as close as that of a husband and wife. He claimed he was building a house for the two of them on Yari Road and that they lived together for three years at a friend's home. Recalling their first meeting, Aditya said he saw her on the road one rainy day when she approached him and introduced herself. He remembered that a mutual friend had once asked him to help her when she arrived in Mumbai. According to him, Kangana kept calling him until he finally agreed to meet. At the time, he said she was a sweet small-town girl, and he eventually fell in love with her. In the same interview, the actor also opened up about a troubling phase in his relationship with Kangana Ranaut. He claimed that during the shooting of Shakalaka Boom Boom, he discovered flirtatious messages sent by her to another actor. Aditya admitted that the messages upset him deeply, especially because she had used similar words with him in the past. He confessed that this led to a violent outburst — the first time he hit her. Despite the fight, he said they eventually made up afterward. Kangana's Painful Account of Abuse Kangana, meanwhile, has openly spoken about the trauma she faced during her relationship with Aditya Pancholi. She has described it as an abusive and painful chapter in her life, which began when she was just 17. Kangana once revealed that Aditya had physically assaulted her so badly that she was left bleeding, and she often tried to escape his control. She also shared that he would stalk her constantly. Hoping for support, Kangana approached Aditya's wife, Zarina Wahab, believing she might help her out of the situation. However, she was disappointed when Zarina not only refused to help but also denied that there was any romantic relationship between Kangana and Aditya.

PU student's death on campus: Lapses on part of both university & students' council, finds SDM probe
Two months after a 21-year-old Panjab University (PU) student was stabbed to death during a concert on campus, sub-divisional magistrate (central) Naveen Kumar, in his inquiry report, stated that there were lapses on the part of the varsity authorities as well as the student council. The report stated that the university administration came under pressure from the student council after two earlier concerts were cancelled. Further, they failed to do proper groundwork and anticipated a crowd of only 4,000, while on the day of the concert, around 10,000 people turned up. The security arrangements were grossly inadequate. Though private security was deployed, it was minimal and layered security was poorly implemented. The authorities had also requested a reduced police presence, it was stated. This went against them when students started getting agitated over the delay in the singer's performance. The student council was also criticised for failing to gauge the scale and seriousness of the event. They did not consult experts and organised the concert with a limited budget. However, such events require substantial logistical support and infrastructure, which was lacking. On March 28, 21-year-old Aditya Thakur, a second-year computer science student at University Institute of Engineering & Technology (UIET), was stabbed to death during a concert by Haryanvi singer Masoom Sharma. The event was organised by the campus student council at UIET in Sector 25. According to the FIR registered at the Sector-11 police station, Arjun Dalal, a 19-year-old student and resident of Sector 20, was in the audience with his friends Aditya, Abhay, and Aniruddha. As they were leaving the venue, an argument broke out between Aditya and a group of five to six unidentified youths. The altercation escalated when the group allegedly threatened Aditya and his friends. Dalal told the police the group had threatened to kill them. The case was cracked within two days with the arrest of four students. After the tragedy, the varsity took a slew of measures to ensure students' safety. PU had carried out its own inquiry into the matter and the dean students' welfare was asked to step down during this, but later given a clean chit. To bolster security, PU has hired a former superintendent of police (SP) rank PPS officer Tejinder Singh Sandhu in an advisory role for campus security. Professor Dinesh Kumar of the department of laws has been appointed faculty supervisor of the security department. PU has also advertised 54 new posts in the security department, the first major recruitment in a decade. PU is also introducing measures to restrict entry of outsiders into campus. The varsity has also decided to ban Holi celebrations at the Students Centre. It has also decided to completely do away with star nights on campus.

Here's how Aditya Roy Kapur is keeping himself safe after female intruder entered his house illegally
In a shocking turn of events, a woman entered Aditya Roy Kapur's Mumbai home with false claims and refused to leave. It has been reported that the actor was out shooting on Monday (May 26) evening when the intruder came to his Bandra home at around 6 p.m. In response to this, the actor left his home after the police began their investigation and held the intruder. According to a report published in Hindustan Times, Aditya Roy Kapur 's house help, Sangita Pawar, inquired the intruder identified as the 47-year-old, Gazala Jhakaria Siddique. In response to this, she claimed that she had brought clothes and other gifts for the actor. When the actor was informed about the intruder upon his return, he couldn't recognize her. The moment turned scary after the woman approached the Metro In Dino actor, leading him to leave the house. He also contacted his society manager, who, in turn, informed the actor's manager, Shruti Rao. While the house help asked the woman to leave, she asserted that she would stay at the actor's home. On the other hand, Aditya's manager approached the Khar police, who reached the star's home and launched an investigation. The woman told the police that she was a Dubai resident and had gone to the actor's house because she was a fan and wanted to stay with him. A case was filed against her based on a complaint filed by Sangita. "We have arrested the woman after registering an offense against her under section 331(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sangita for trespassing and are investigating further," a police officer from Khar police station was quoted as saying. Meanwhile, the police suspect the possibility of criminal intent of Gazala as per their initial investigation. It is worth noting that the shocking news comes just a couple of days after Salman Khan faced a security breach at his residence. On the professional front, Aditya will be next seen in Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino. The film also features Sara Ali Khan, Neena Gupta, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sensharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Anupam Kher, and Fatima Sana Shaikh in the key roles. It is set to release later this year on July 4, 2025.
