Saiyaara worldwide box office: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer beats War, Dunki & Tiger 3, set to enter Rs 500 crore club
_Saiyaara_ currently stands with a worldwide gross total of Rs 486 crore and has surpassed biggies like War (Rs 475.62 crore), Dunki (Rs 470.6 crore) and Tiger 3 (Rs 466.63 crore). The film will become the 16th Bollywood film to cross the Rs 500 crore benchmark globally after Dangal (Rs 1968.03 crore), Jawan (Rs 1148.32 crore), Pathaan (Rs 1050.3 crore), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Rs 918.18 crore), Animal (Rs 917.82 crore), Secret Superstar (Rs 875.78 crore), Stree 2 (Rs 874.58 crore), Chhaava (Rs 797.34 crore), PK (Rs 769.89 crore), Gadar 2 (Rs 691.08 crore), Sultan (Rs 614.49 crore), Sanju (Rs 586.85 crore), Padmaavat (Rs 571.98 crore), Tiger Zinda Hai (Rs 564.2 crore) and Dhoom 3 (Rs 556.84 crore)
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
While Saiyaara will continue its steady run at the box office until the arrival of Coolie and War 2, the musical romantic drama is now getting dominated by director Ashwin Kumar's animated venture _Mahavatar Narsimha_.
Despite not going all out with the promotions, Saiyaara garnered unprecedented excitement among the cinegoers. Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about it and told Firstpost, 'I've been inside the studio for the last one month. I have no idea. And unlike the past when people travel from one studio to another, this is everything inhouse at YRF. So I haven't really gone out and met the world outside. Normally, when you are working on other films, you go out for the day; for sound, edit, and VFX. It was different different places.
And just hearing it now, it does feel it does feel very redeeming and validating because when I started off this film, I was quite discouraged by a lot of senior people saying that nobody would be interested in a young love story. Because at that time, larger-than-life films were being made and I just thought that my voice would be lost there when everyone was shouting. So I just went and tried to make a film which is very different from what others were doing. And to me, the fact that people are appreciating that the difference that it's standing out means a lot.'

Who Is Vikram Chatwal, Priya Sachdev's First Husband Before She Married The Late Sunjay Kapur?
In 2006, Vikram married actress and investment banker Priya Sachdev in a high-profile wedding. The couple welcomed a daughter, Safira, the same year. As Sunjay Kapur's sudden demise ignites a Rs 30,000 crore inheritance battle, one name that keeps resurfacing is Vikram Chatwal, the ex-husband of Sunjay's third wife, Priya Sachdev. While the family tussle over Kapur's vast business empire has captivated headlines, Chatwal's past relationship with Priya and his own controversial life make him an intriguing figure. Here's everything to know about the flamboyant businessman once called the 'playboy hotelier." Early Life and Education Born on November 1, 1971, in Ethiopia, Vikram Chatwal is the son of Indian-American hotel magnate Sant Singh Chatwal. He grew up in New York and graduated from the prestigious Wharton School of Business in 1993. He began his career as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley but soon ventured into more glamorous industries including modelling, acting, and eventually hospitality. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikram Chatwal (@vikramdoc) Modelling, Acting and Hollywood Cameos Vikram briefly worked as a model and became the first Sikh man to be featured in Vogue magazine. His dapper looks also landed him minor roles in films like Zoolander and Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. Though he didn't pursue acting full-time, he remained a staple in social circles across New York, London and Mumbai. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vikram Chatwal (@vikramdoc) Marriage to Priya Sachdev and Divorce In 2006, Vikram married actress and investment banker Priya Sachdev in a high-profile wedding. The couple welcomed a daughter, Safira, the same year. However, Vikram's substance abuse issues and wild lifestyle led to two stints in rehab. By 2011, Priya divorced him. She later married Sunjay Kapur in 2017. Sunjay adopted Safira, and she now goes by the surname Kapur. Scandals and Legal Troubles Vikram Chatwal's lifestyle caught up with him. In 2013, he was arrested at Fort Lauderdale airport for drug possession. A year later, his father Sant Chatwal pleaded guilty to illegal campaign contributions. In 2016, Vikram faced public outrage after being charged with setting two dogs on fire. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to community service. Hotel Empire and Comeback Despite his turbulent past, Vikram has managed a remarkable comeback in hospitality. He founded Vikram Chatwal Hotels and owns several luxury properties, including the iconic Dream New York hotel, which underwent a Rs 166 crore ($20 million) renovation in 2015. His brand has since expanded to Miami, Bangkok and India, known for stylish décor and celebrity clientele. Ties To The Kapur Succession Battle In the current Kapur family dispute, Vikram's name has resurfaced due to the legal status of his daughter Safira. If Sunjay Kapur legally adopted her, she loses any right to inherit from Vikram's estate. Meanwhile, Priya Sachdev and Safira have both dropped 'Chatwal" from their names.

When Yuzvendra Chahal spoke about Dhanashree Verma's demand for 'diamonds': 'Jab bhi ladayi hoti hai...'
As speculation swirled around his separation from choreographer Dhanashree Verma, the cricketer recently opened up about the story behind that headline-making T-shirt and the emotional closure he sought. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Alongside this revelation, a resurfaced clip from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 offers a lighthearted look back at their dynamic, shedding new light on their past relationship. A playful memory from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa While appearing on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 to support Dhanashree, Yuzvendra joined in on a fun guessing game hosted on stage. During the segment, a moment involving the word 'diamond' led to playful banter between the two. Chahal jokingly suggested that post-arguments, Dhanashree would often expect a gesture or a gift, but clarified it was never really about material things. Instead, he hinted that what she truly sought after a disagreement was a simple apology—not jewels. The exchange offered a light, affectionate glimpse into their relationship at the time. Setting the record straight Addressing assumptions that he was in the marriage for financial gain, Chahal subtly indicated that a particular incident from Verma's side pushed him to respond. Though he initially had no intention of reacting publicly, the situation led him to a point where he felt compelled to speak out. Without targeting or abusing anyone, Chahal clarified that his response was more about sending a clear message and finding closure than stirring confrontation. Yuzvendra also addressed rumours linking him to RJ Mahvash, calling the speculation baseless. He pointed out how being spotted with someone often leads to unfounded media gossip, adding that speaking up only invites further trolling because 'people just want masala.' According to a report by Bar and Bench, Chahal paid Rs 4.75 crore as alimony to Dhanashree Verma. Despite ongoing speculation, both have maintained a dignified silence regarding the real reason behind their separation.
