Kiara Advani with Sidharth Malhotra
Tales of celebrity obsession have often raised eyebrows, but a recent one would surely acquire the top spot if weird star stories were to be ranked. A Sidharth Malhotra fan claimed to have lost R50 lakhs for believing that the actor's life was in danger due to his wife, Kiara Advani. The woman shared her ordeal of being scammed by a fan account on social media. "There is a serious incident you all should know about," she said, tagging the actor. Stating that she was told "fake stories" of how "Sid's life was in danger because Kiara forced him to marry her by threatening to kill his family after he rejected her sexual advances", she says she made payments to "save Sid from death or torture". "All this led to a loss of R50 lakhs," she added. It is unclear if the woman has taken any legal route or informed the police. The actor responded, stating, "I want to assure everyone reading this that neither I nor my family or team support any of [these scams]. I urge all of you to exercise caution when dealing with such matters. If you receive any suspicious requests, report them."

"Taylor Swift ko bulao na," said one fan. Referring to Swift's song, London boy, another user wrote, "Imagine Radhika walking down the aisle to a rendition of London boy [tweaked to] make it Jamnagar boy. Ambanis should do it." Swift is at the fag end of her Eras Tour, which has achieved several milestones in the last two years.
Mommy-to-be Deepika Padukone shared her self-care routine in a long post on Instagram. The actor shared a picture that shows her practicing yoga. "I love a good workout. I don't work out to âlook good' but to âfeel fit'. Exercise has been part of my lifestyle for as long as I can remember. However, when I can't fit in a workout, I practice this simple five-minute routine. I do this every day, whether I work out or not. It's especially useful after a long flight or just to decompress," she wrote, sharing a series of exercises. She also revealed that she would share similar self-care practices with her fans in the future.
