Zarina Wahab owns four houses, she could've divorced Aditya Pancholi if she wanted: Sooraj Pancholi on dad's infidelities
Actor Sooraj Pancholi admitted that an individual's personality takes shape when they're young, and that it depends almost entirely on their upbringing. Sooraj is the son of actors Zarina Wahab and Aditya Pancholi, but he was raised by his grandparents. In an interview, he spoke about his parents' tumultuous marriage, and said that his mother could've left his father had she wanted, as she's financially independent and owns four houses. But, he said, they have an 'arrangement' that he doesn't want to judge. Appearing on the Hindi Rush podcast, he was asked about his parents, and he said, 'I would love to be a father like my father, and I would love to be a partner like my mother…' He explained, 'She holds the whole family together, and she has really been through a lot because of us. I have never, ever seen her break down. She has never complained about anything.' Asked if it's a good thing to be an uncomplaining woman, Sooraj said, 'She's making her own money, she has never taken even one rupee from my father.'

She is self-made. She has four homes of her own. She doesn't come from money. If she wanted to leave, she could have done it long back. Sometimes, women don't leave because they don't have backup… She had a route to go to Hyderabad; she has a home in Bandra also. She has her mother's home in Bandra. She has four sisters, one of them is in America. She has four brothers. She could have left any time, but it's her decision to stay. I can't judge their arrangement.' He said that one of his father's best qualities is that he never stopped Zarina from working, and never interfered in her professional life. He did, however, engage in a public affair with Kangana Ranaut, whom he groomed from a young age. In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit recently, Zarina had said, 'I used to feel a little bad when I used to read affair rumours, but then I also laughed at them. I don't care what he does outside, but when he enters the house, he is an excellent father and husband. And that's all matters to me. I would have felt bad if only he brought his affairs home. A lot of men have affairs and still run a family. If I will start taking these things too seriously, and start fighting over it then I will suffer. I don't want to suffer, I love myself.' In an interview with Lehren Retro, Zarina spoke about Kangana, who, according to her, dated her husband for four-and-half years after meeting in 2004, when Kangana was 18. She said, 'I was always nice to Kangana. She often visited my home. He was very nice to her. I don't know what went wrong. I just can tell that I saw what he couldn't and eventually that happened.'

Brave mother mauled to death by leopard while shielding daughter in UP's Bahraich
The deceased woman LUCKNOW: A 38-year-old woman was mauled to death by a leopard on Sunday while trying to save her teenage daughter in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich. The attack occurred around 2 am in Ayodhyapurwa village under the Sujauli Range of the Katarniaghat Wildlife Division. According to family members, Zarina Bano was sleeping on the roof of her house with her 17-year-old daughter, Nagma, when a leopard climbed up. Hearing a sound, Zarina woke up to find the big cat about to pounce on her daughter. She bravely intervened, trying to scare it away, but the leopard attacked her instead. It sank its jaws into her neck and leapt off the roof, dragging her to a nearby sugarcane field. By the time her screams drew the attention of her husband Zakir, younger daughter Nagina, and other villagers, Zarina had succumbed to her injuries. Her face, chest, and neck were badly mauled. Nagma, shaken and in tears, recounted the harrowing moment: 'The leopard came for me, but my mother shielded me. She screamed to scare it off, but it grabbed her by the leg. I held onto her hand and screamed for help, but the leopard pounced again and dragged her away.' Local police and forest department teams arrived by 3 am. While attempting to take the body for post-mortem, officers faced resistance from grieving family members. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The police eventually convinced them with assurances of support. The family has been given an ex-gratia of Rs 10,000 by the forest department. Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) and WWF teams also visited the village. Sanjay Singh, WTI coordinator, said traps are being set up to capture the leopard. Residents have been advised to avoid sleeping on rooftops at night. DFO, Katarniaghat, Shiva Shankar, confirmed the attack to be by a leopard. 'We have made teams and installed cages. A special team has been deployed which will remain on duty for 24 hours in shifts,' he said. This is not the first such tragedy in the village. In the past two years, two children from the same family—Sheebu (8) and Aisa (5)—were killed in leopard attacks. Eight months ago, another child from the village, Saiba (10), was injured. Leopards have previously been captured in nearby villages including Tharu Purwa and Mohkam Purwa. The frequent attacks have left villagers terrified, with calls growing louder for stronger wildlife containment and protection measures.
