As July draws to a close, the entertainment industry has seen its fair share of headline-grabbing moments. From surprising revelations in celebrity relationships to dramatic exits from popular reality shows, this month has been nothing short of eventful. Here’s a look at the most talked-about stories that had everyone buzzing.
1. Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s grand wedding
The wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant was undeniably one of the most extravagant events of the year. Held at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, the three-day celebration was attended by a star-studded lineup, including Bollywood icons, business magnates, and global personalities.
The event featured a memorable sangeet performance by Justin Bieber, while the presence of international celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, and John Cena added to the wedding’s global appeal. Social media buzzed with viral videos of Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra dancing in the baaraat, as well as Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan grooving to “Bhangra Paale,” making the wedding one of the most memorable affairs in the history of Bollywood.
2. Abhishek and Aishwarya’s Separate Arrivals at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s Wedding
The Ambani-Merchant wedding was a star-studded affair, but it wasn’t just the grand celebrations that made headlines. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one of Bollywood’s most iconic couples, grabbed attention for their separate arrivals. Abhishek posed with his parents, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, and his sister Shweta Bachchan’s family, while Aishwarya walked the red carpet with their daughter Aaradhya, posing solo for the photographers.
This unexpected move fuelled speculation about the state of their relationship, especially after Abhishek was spotted liking a post on social media that discussed “Silver Splitters” – a term referring to couples seeking divorce later in life. The social media activity sparked debates and discussions, with fans and media alike wondering if there was more to the story than met the eye.
3. Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya’s Separation
After months of swirling rumours, cricketer Hardik Pandya and model-actress Natasa Stankovic finally confirmed their separation this month, putting an end to speculation. In a joint statement, the duo shared that the decision to part ways was mutual and made with the best interests of their son, Agastya, in mind.
As they navigate this new chapter, Hardik and Natasa have pledged to co-parent their son with love and care, ensuring that Agastya remains their top priority. “We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the centre of both our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us privacy during this difficult and sensitive time,” they said in a statement.
4. Asim Riaz’s Removal from Khatron Ke Khiladi 14
Reality TV star Asim Riaz found himself at the centre of controversy after being removed from Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. Asim’s dramatic exit came after a heated altercation with host Rohit Shetty and fellow contestants during the second episode of the season. Frustrated with his performance in a task, Asim lashed out at Aashish Mehrotra and Niyati Fatnani, calling them ‘losers,’ which led to his tense exchange with Rohit Shetty. The host, known for his no-nonsense approach, sternly warned Asim about his behaviour, but the situation escalated, ultimately leading to Asim’s removal from the competition. The incident has since sparked debates among fans, with some supporting Rohit’s decision, while others feel Asim was unfairly targeted.
5. The Liver Doc’s War of Words with Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Nayanthara
Healthcare professional Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, better known as The Liver Doc, made headlines this month after calling out two of South India’s biggest stars, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Nayanthara, for promoting what he termed as “pseudoscience”. The controversy began when Nayanthara endorsed hibiscus tea, claiming it could cure ailments such as diabetes and acne. Dr. Philips accused her of spreading misinformation, arguing that such claims lacked scientific backing.
Before this, The Liver Doc had similarly criticised Samantha for recommending hydrogen peroxide nebulisation as a treatment for viral infections, calling it “dangerous” and “irresponsible”. The ongoing war of words between the celebrities and the doctor has sparked a larger conversation about the responsibility of public figures in promoting health-related information.
