Meet actor who stayed with someone else's wife for 20 years, was thrown out of his home because.., discovered shocking truth after.., his name is.. In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, the dazzling lives of the stars usually take the center stage. However, what happens behind the scenes when the curtain falls is a lot more than what meets the eye. We often see celebrities with turbulent relationships, complex dynamics, and complicated interpersonal lives. One such similar tale is of a celebrated actor from the golden era, who has delivered many cult classics and has charmed everyone with his captivating screen presence. The person we are talking about is none other than Deepak Tijori. A celebrated face from the golden age of Bollywood, he started his career in 1988 with Tera Naam Mera Naam. He did many films after that, but Aashiqui, Khiladi, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, and Anjaam rose him to fame. He was known for his innocence nd boyish charm and strong presence that made him a fan favourite in no time. However, besides his on-screen presence but what was more gripping was his real-life story that took everyone by storm. In front of the flashy camera world, Deepak was in a happy marriage with designer Shivani Tomar, and the duo had a daughter named Samara. However, later, the reports of his wife throwing him out of the Mumbai house started doing the rounds. She allegedly suspected him of cheating, which turned their relationship ugly. However, to fight his side, Deepak hired a counsellor to resolve the matter; however, what happened next was no less than a courtroom thriller. During the legal proceedings, Deepak found out that Shivani was never legally his wife. She had not divorced her first husband legally, and therefore, their marriage was invalid. For over 20 years, Deepak lived under the impression of being in a legitimate marriage, only to realise the foundation of his personal life was legally non-existent. In between all of this, their daughter Samara remained a bright spot. Following in her father's footsteps, she ventured into acting and made her debut in 2022 with the web series Masoom, sharing screen space with talents like Boman Irani and Upasana Singh. Deepak has also worked with superstars like Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Shah Rukh Khan, and he continues to resonate with the audience even today. Deepak's journey, from Bollywood's beloved supporting actor to the central figure, shows that there is a lot that goeson behind what we see from the outside of celebrity lives. While he has ventured into direction and appeared in Gujarati cinema, this personal twist remains the most talked-about chapter of his life.

EXCLUSIVE: Akshay Kumar and Amit Rai begin to brainstorm OMG 3; Scripting to begin shortly
On May 17, 2025, Akshay Kumar wrapped up shooting for the much-awaited Priyadarshan-directed horror comedy, Bhooth Bangla. The actor completed the film with a song shoot in Kerala along with Wamiqa Gabbi. The song was shot over a 3-day period, and in a surprise turn of event, one director accompanied Akshay Kumar to Kerala over the weekend. According to sources close to the development, Amit Rai had accompanied Akshay Kumar to Kerala for the last leg of Bhooth Bagla. A source shares, 'Amit Rai had multiple ideas for OMG 3 (Oh My God 3), and he discussed all the plot points with Akshay Kumar throughout the stay. The duo brainstormed on all the ideas, and also discussed possible new routes that could be taken in OMG 3. The intent is to continue with the most loved franchise, and take the third part on floors in 2026.' The source further informed that both Akshay and Amit Rai jammed very well over the weekend, and the Khiladi is now waiting for Amit to come up with a draft. 'Following the success of OMG and OMG 2, the stakes are high and the makers are keen to make a third part. It is a big responsibility, and hence, they are in no hurry to just rush through the process of OMG 3,' the source adds. If everything goes well, OMG 3 will take off in the second half of 2026, though a lot depends on how long the makers take to wrap up the script. The casting of the film will be decided once the script is locked, but much like previous two parts, this one too will be a social dramedy in the courtroom set-up. Talking of Akshay Kumar, the Khiladi is all set to start shooting for director Priyadarshan's next film, a thriller co-starring Saif Ali Khan in the month of August. He has multiple other films in the discussion stage, and the details of the same are kept under wraps for now.
