After a months-long social media hiatus, actor Babil Khan has returned to Instagram with a cryptic post that has sparked conversations online. The Qala actor, who went offline earlier this year following a widely discussed emotional video, shared a series of photos from what appeared to be a photoshoot, paired with a reflective caption hinting at his personal struggles.

The caption read, “Didn’t mean to eavesdrop, This glass house has lean walls. I wore my heart on my sleeves, now I have blood soaked t-shirts...,” continuing into an introspective verse about healing, repression, and mental health.

The post drew immediate reactions from industry colleagues. Vijay Varma commented, “Babil we got your back,” while Aparshakti Khurana wrote, “Bro,” followed by a red heart. Actor Gulshan Devaiah also chimed in, saying, “Look who’s here,” welcoming Babil’s return to the platform.

Babil’s comeback post comes nearly five months after a video of him breaking down emotionally went viral in May 2025. In the now-deleted clip, he had referred to some industry figures, including Ananya Panday, Shanaya Kapoor, and Arjun Kapoor, as “so, so rude,” leading to widespread speculation about his mental health and experiences in Bollywood.

At the time, many had assumed the video was part of a promotional campaign for Babil’s then-released film Logout on ZEE5. However, his team later clarified that the clip was “widely misinterpreted” and not a critique of Bollywood, but rather a misunderstood expression of admiration for his peers. His mother, Sutapa Sikdar, had also issued a statement reassuring fans that Babil was safe and had simply been having a difficult day.

Since the controversy, Babil has maintained silence and kept a low profile — making his latest post the first time he’s addressed, even indirectly, the emotional toll he hinted at months ago.

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has bought three adjoining plots in Alibaug, Raigad district, for a total price exceeding Rs 6.6 crores, according to property registration data accessed by CRE Matrix, a real estate analytics firm. The properties, located in the HOABL Alibaug Phase 2 area, were sold by HOABL Landbuild Pvt Ltd with the transactions registered on October 7, 2025.

The specific details of the purchase include Plot No. 98 spanning 2,734 sq. ft, acquired for Rs 1.88 crore with a stamp duty of Rs 11.32 lakhs; Plot No. 97 covering 2,776 sq. ft for Rs 1.92 crores with Rs 11.52 lakhs in stamp duty; and Plot No. 96 measuring 4,047 sq. ft for Rs 2.78 crores, with a stamp duty of Rs 16.74 lakhs. Together, these plots total a built-up area of 9,557 sq. ft, culminating in an overall transaction value of Rs 6.59 crores.

Alibaug has increasingly become a sought-after location for luxury holiday homes among industrialists, celebrities, and affluent individuals, and this high-profile purchase by Bachchan further signifies the town's rising real estate appeal near Mumbai.

Interestingly, this report comes on the very day Amitabh Bachchan celebrates his 83rd birthday, adding a timely highlight to the superstar's ongoing engagement with life beyond the silver screen.

The Bombay High Court has dismissed a 100-crore rupee defamation suit filed by Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui against his brother Shamasuddin Siddiqui and his estranged wife, Anjana Pandey, because the actor and his legal team did not show up in court for hearings.

Nawazuddin accused his younger brother, who was also his manager since 2008, of cheating and misusing his trust. He claimed he gave Shamasuddin control over his bank accounts and finances so he could focus on acting, but alleged that his brother bought several properties—including flats in Mumbai, land, a farmhouse, a property in Dubai, and luxury vehicles—under his own name, making Nawazuddin think they were co-owned.

The actor also alleged that when he removed Shamasuddin as his manager in 2020, Shamasuddin influenced his ex-wife to file false cases against him. Nawaz accused both of them of sharing hurtful videos and social media posts that led to public embarrassment, mental distress, postponement of film projects, and harm to his reputation. Why Was the Case Dismissed? The High Court threw out the case because Nawazuddin and his lawyer missed several court dates and did not pursue the suit. The court, led by Justice Jitendra Jain, called this “non-prosecution,” meaning a case cannot move forward if the person filing it is absent. What Did Nawazuddin Want? Nawazuddin had asked for damages of Rs 100 crores for the harm and stress he faced, a permanent ban on his brother and ex-wife from posting anything defamatory, removal of all negative content, and a public apology. He also wanted them not to sell off their assets until he could recover any damages awarded.​

Speaking of the professional front. Nawaz is currently busy promoting his upcoming film, Thamma. The latest addition to the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe is slated to release on October 21.

The Bombay High Court has stepped in to protect Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty’s personality rights following allegations of misuse through AI-generated deepfakes, false endorsements, and counterfeit merchandise, marking a significant development in celebrity rights and digital safety in India.

Court Grants Urgent Protection to Suniel Shetty Justice Arif S Doctor of the Bombay High Court granted urgent interim protection to Suniel Shetty after the actor approached the Court, citing the misuse of his name, image, likeness, and other unique aspects of his persona. Shetty argued that these acts constituted a violation of his fundamental right to privacy and dignity under Article 21 of the Constitution, as well as his moral rights under the Copyright Act, drawing upon his illustrious three-decade-long film career and his endorsement deals with leading brands. AI Deepfakes and False Endorsements: A New Threat Senior Advocate Birendra Saraf, representing Shetty, described how the star’s digital presence, followed by over 13 million fans online, was being misused through AI-deepfakes, unauthorized advertisements, and fake social media profiles. The Court observed that obscene AI-generated images of Shetty and his family, along with fake endorsements, were the product of a “depraved mind” misusing technology and posed a risk to Shetty’s personal and professional reputation. Protecting Privacy and Dignity The Court ruled that such unauthorized creations not only infringe on Shetty’s personality rights but also amount to a grave invasion of privacy and an attack on fundamental rights. Justice Doctor emphasized that these acts could mislead the public by creating a false sense of endorsement, resulting in consumer deception and misappropriation of goodwill—essentially a classic case of “passing off”. Wide-Ranging Restraints and the John Doe Order To tackle the wide-ranging and anonymous nature of these infringements, the Court granted a John Doe order, restraining unidentified parties from using Shetty’s persona in any form, including AI-generated content, deepfakes, cloned audio, or unauthorized merchandise. Major platforms like Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and X (formerly Twitter) were directed to promptly remove infringing posts and cooperate with Shetty’s legal team if content creator identities were requested.

The matter is scheduled for further hearing on November 17.
