Aussie outlet calls Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra 'former duo' in post on exes at Met Gala; fans say: 'This is messy'
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan made his debut at the Met Gala 2025, walking the blue carpet in a custom Sabyasachi ensemble. His former co-star Priyanka Chopra was also at the event, accompanied by her husband, Nick Jonas. While the two actors did not interact, an Australian magazine created a stir by calling them 'former duo' in a post about exes at the event. (Also read: Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan channel 2007 Don and Roma vibes at Met Gala 2025, fans wonder if it is a coincidence) Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan on the blue carpet of 2025 Met Gala. A day after the Met Gala, Marie Claire Australia shared a post on some former flames at the 2025 Met Gala. The video included Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter, Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Sherzinger, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Miley Cyrus among others. What caught the eye of fans was the inclusion of Shah Rukh and Priyanka in the video. "All eyes on these former duos at Met Gala," read the text on the video. Fans react Shocked fans reacted to the video in the comments. One wrote, "Whatttt! an official page posting." Another added, "Featuring PC & SRK is messy… I love it." A third fan chuckled, "Guts to add SRK and PC." Shah Rukh and Priyanka worked together in several films like Don and Billu (where the latter had a special dance number). There were rumours of the two having an affair during the shoot of Don 2 but neither has addressed the rumours in the decade since. To be fair, Marie Claire did address the rumoured nature of their relationship in the caption, but only subtly. The caption read: "You never know when you're going to run into an ex. At the supermarket? Potentially. But if you're a celebrity, there's one date that you can guarantee you'll run into a former (rumoured) fling: the first Monday in May." But including them with several real-life couples seemed to shock the fans. Indians at 2025 Met Gala Apart from Shah Rukh and Priyanka, the 2025 Met Gala saw plenty of Indian representation from Diljit Dosanjh, Kiara Advani, Manish Malhotra, Prabal Gurung, Sabysachi, Isha Ambani, and Natasha Poonawalla.

Australian activist Grace Tame suggests Virginia Giuffre's death may not have been suicide, amid tributes for Prince Andrew accuser
Grace Tame has weighed in on the tragic death of Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre. Ms Giuffre's family confirmed the 41-year-old died by suicide on Thursday at her farm in Neergabby, Western Australia. "It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia," her family said in a statement to NBC News. "She lost her life to suicide after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking." However, Tame, who was named Australian of the Year in 2021 for her advocacy for sexual assault survivors, has speculated that Giuffre's death may not be as it seems. The 30-year-old took to social media to share her thoughts, commenting on a Marie Claire Australia post that announced Giuffre's death on Saturday. The post, featuring a photo of Ms Giuffre, read: "Virginia Giuffre, Epstein survivor and advocate, has died." Tame commented underneath "*been killed", a remark that had attracted more than 140 likes (at time of writing). Her comment appeared to reference a resurfaced post from Giuffre herself in 2019, where she publicly declared she was "not suicidal". "I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal," the mother-of-three wrote on X at the time. "I have made this known to my therapist and GP. If something happens to me- in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them. "Too many evil people want to see me quieted." On Sunday, Tame also reshared a post about the mother-of-three's death on her Instagram Stories, as well as a post by journalist and author Lucia Osborne-Crowley. "My heart goes out to all survivors today and I am thinking of every person in the community," Osborne-Crowley wrote. "Virginia's passing makes me think, once again, about the word survivor and how we use it. "The thing is that some of us can't, and some of us don't, because some lives are unbearable. "We survive as long as we can." Giuffre first came forward in 2010, alleging she was trafficked by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was a teenager. The Duke of York has repeatedly denied the allegations and has never faced any criminal charges. In 2021, Ms Giuffre sued Prince Andrew for sexual abuse, reaching a settlement out of court in March 2022. Her publicist, Dini von Mueffling, described the American-Australian as "deeply loving, wise and funny". "She adored her children and many animals. She was always more concerned with me than with herself," von Mueffling said in a statement. "I will miss her beyond words. It was the privilege of a lifetime to represent her." News of Giuffre's death came less than a month after she revealed on Instagram she was at risk of dying from renal failure following a car accident involving a school bus. After being discharged from a Perth hospital, Guiffre was a no-show in court, where she faced a charge of breaching a family violence restraining order, allegedly committed in February. Her family added: "Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. "She was the light that lifted so many survivors. In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight." NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE?

Australian activist suggests Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre was killed
A prominent activist for survivors of sexual abuse has claimed that Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre was killed rather than died by suicide. Grace Tame – a well-known campaigner against sexual violence – disputed the official narrative and spread a conspiracy theory over Ms Giuffre's death. The 41-year-old's family said that the mother-of-three, who was trafficked and abused by paedophile American financier Jeffrey Epstein and, had taken her own life in her home near Perth last week. In a previous social media post from 2019, Ms Giuffre – who also claimed she has sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 – insisted she was not 'suicidal'. The Duke of York has always denied having sex with Ms Giuffre but paid an out-of-court settlement – believed to be around £12,000,000 – to her in 2022. Her claims about not being suicidal have resurfaced since her passing, fuelling unfounded conspiracy theories over whether her death was actually self-inflicted or part of a larger plot to hide sex trafficking among the ultra-elite. 'I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal,' she wrote in 2019. 'I have made this known to my therapist and GP. If something happens to me – in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them. 'Too many evil people want to see me quieted.' Ms Giuffre's statement was in response to a user who wrote: 'FBI will kill her to protect the ultra rich and well connected.' US House Republican Nancy Mace shared the old tweet on X, saying: 'This gave me goosebumps.' Ms Tame – who endured sexual abuse as a school girl before going on to become a campaigner for fellow victims – weighed in on the alleged murder plot under a post by Marie Claire Australia yesterday. The post, picturing Ms Giuffre, simply stated: 'Virginia Giuffre, Epstein survivor and advocate, has died.' Ms Tame commented under the post '*been killed'. It is unclear if Ms Tame was hinting at a more sinister intent behind Ms Giuffre's passing, or if she was referring to the external environment – such as the alleged abuse and public scrutiny – as responsible for her death. Her statement flies in the face of a statement that Ms Giuffre's family have released. 'It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,' they said. 'She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.' More Trending Weeks before her death, Ms Giuffre shared a disturbing Instagram post claiming she only had 'four days to live' following a collision with a bus. The bus driver later claimed she exaggerated the seriousness of the crash. Adding to Ms Giuffre's distress was the separation from her husband of two decades in January.

Grace Tame fuels Virginia Giuffre conspiracy theory with two-word comment
Former Australian of the Year and sexual assault survivor activist Grace Tame has seemingly weighed in on a conspiracy theory on Virginia Giuffre's death. Ms Giuffre's family on Friday confirmed the 41-year-old, who is best known for testifying against disgraced American financier Jeffrey Epstein, had taken her own life in her home near Perth. However, a previous social media post by Ms Giuffre that claimed she was not 'suicidal' has fuelled conspiracy theories over whether her death was actually self-inflicted or part of a larger plot to hide sex trafficking among the ultra-elite. 'I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal,' she wrote in 2019. 'I have made this known to my therapist and GP. If something happens to me – in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them. 'Too many evil people want to see me quieted.' Ms Giuffre's blunt statement was in response to a user who wrote: 'FBI will kill her to protect the ultra rich and well connected.' US House Republican Nancy Mace shared the old tweet on X, saying: 'This gave me goosebumps.' Conspiracy theories ran wild after a 2019 tweet of Ms Giuffre's resurfaced (pictured) of her claiming she was not suicidal Ms Tame appeared to weigh in on the alleged murder plot under a post by Marie Claire Australia on Saturday. The post, picturing Ms Giuffre, simply stated: Virginia Giuffre, Epstein survivor and advocate, has died.' Ms Tame commented under the post '*been killed'. It is unclear if Ms Tame was hinting at a more sinister intent behind Ms Giuffre's passing, or if she was referring to the external environment - such as the alleged abuse and public scrutiny - as responsible for her death. Ms Giuffre's family confirmed her death and contributed her suffering to the alleged abuse she suffered throughout her life. 'It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,' the 41-year-old's family said. 'She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.' Fuelling suspicion around Ms Giuffre's death is her connection to her alleged sexual abuser and trafficker, Epstein. Similar claims Epstein did not take his own life but was murdered as part of a larger conspiracy have run rife since he committed suicide in jail. As the disturbing details of his alleged sex trafficking network came to light, conspiracy theorists believed he was killed in order to protect the secrets of his 'customers'. Ms Giuffre launched proceedings against Epstein in 2015, allegeding he trafficked her when she was 16 years old after she was recruited by his ex-lover and convicted madam, Ghislaine Maxwell. She claimed she was forced to have sex with UK Prince Andrew three times with her evidence including a now-notorious photo of her posing with the royal at Maxwell's London home. Prince Andrews has long denied the allegations and settled the matter out of court. US House Republican Taylor Green posted a photo of Prince Andrews following news of Ms Giuffre's death, writing: 'The truth needs to come out more matter who is responsible.' Ms Giuffre's paternal uncle, Jet Roberts, told The Post he was unaware of any conspiracies surround his niece's death. 'She was a very nice person who had a lot of bad luck,' he said. He declined to share any further comment but added the family is taking her death hard. Ms Giuffre's lawyer, Sigrid McCawley, also shared a statement in tribute of the late advocate. 'Virginia Giuffre was much more than a client to me, she was a dear friend. Virginia was fearless, and her courage pushed me to fight harder,' McCawley said. 'Virginia's sunny strength was contagious and her smile spread hope to so many. She lifted us all to be better, and so we must be better. 'The world has lost a light that shone bright. Rest in peace, my sweet angel.' Just weeks before her death, Ms Giuffre shared a disturbing Instagram post claiming she only had 'four days to live' following a collision with a bus. The bus driver later claimed she exaggerated the seriousness of the crash. Adding to Ms Giuffre's distress was the separation from her husband of two decades in January. Her three children were staying with their father inside their $1.9 million mansion in north Perth's Ocean Reef while she moved to the small town of Neergabby, about 60km away. Ms Giuffre last month shared a post detailing her heartbreak at being away from her children. 'My beautiful babies have no clue how much I love them and they're being poisoned with lies. I miss them so very much,' she wrote on March 22. 'I have been through hell and back in my 41 years but this is incredibly hurting me worse than anything else. Hurt me, abuse me but don't take my babies. 'My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens.' Daily Mail Australia contacted Ms Tame for further comment.
