Last Updated: Aamir Khan signs Rs 24.5 lakh/month lease for four luxury apartments in Bandra West while his own flats are rebuilt into sea‑facing homes. Aamir Khan house in Mumbai: Aamir Khan has made a temporary move within Mumbai's celebrity-packed Bandra West, leasing four luxury apartments in Pali Hill for Rs 24.5 lakh per month. The reason? His own flats at the Virgo Housing Society are undergoing a high-profile redevelopment. Property registration documents accessed via show the actor signed a five-year lease, from May 2025 to May 2030, with a lock-in period of 45 months. The agreement includes a security deposit of over Rs 1.46 crore, a stamp duty of Rs 4 lakh, and a registration fee of Rs 2,000. The rent will increase 5% annually. The redeveloped Virgo complex is expected to feature ultra-premium sea-facing residences priced above Rs 1 lakh per sq ft. Some of the new units are estimated to be worth over Rs 100 crore. Aamir's new temporary address, Wilnomona, is just 750 metres from Puja Casa—where Shah Rukh Khan and family are currently living while Mannat gets a revamp. Bandra West continues to attract Bollywood's biggest names. Apart from Aamir and Shah Rukh, the neighbourhood is home to stars like Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Rekha. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are also expected to move into their new home nearby soon. On the work front, Aamir recently returned to cinemas with Sitaare Zameen Par, which made over Rs 165 crore in India. Up next, he will portray Dadasaheb Phalke in Rajkumar Hirani's upcoming biopic and is also producing Lahore 1947, starring Sunny Deol and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. He's set to attend the 2025 Indian Film Festival of Melbourne as Chief Guest. Up next, Aamir khan will be seen in a cameo in Rajnikanth's Coolie. It follows the story of Deva, a former daily-wage laborer with a dark and mysterious past who emerges from the shadows after decades to avenge a close friend. Rajinikanth plays the titular role in what promises to be a massy yet layered narrative packed with action, suspense, and political undertones. The film features an ensemble cast including Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra Rao, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, Reba Monica John and Rachita Ram. The soundtrack and background score are composed by Anirudh Ravichander, adding further buzz to the August 14, 2025 release.

Genelia D'Souza Birthday: As Genelia D'Souza turns a year older on August 5 this year, it is only fitting to revisit some of her most commercially successful movies to commemorate her on her special day. Known for her ever-charming smile, graceful screen presence and stellar acting, Genelia has carved a unique space in both Hindi and South Indian cinema. While she continues to garner fans' love and applause for her role in Sitaare Zameen Par, here we take a look at some of her several box-office hits that made her a household name across regions. Genelia D'Souza's Commercially Successful Movies Bommarillu (2006): A breakthrough film in her career, Bommarillu saw Genelia playing the role of a free-spirited girl Hasini.

One of Telugu cinema's most beloved romantic dramas, the film earned Genelia several awards, including the Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu.

Force (2011): Genelia starred opposite John Abraham in this action-packed romantic drama. The film did well both commercially and critically, but the standout factor? It was the stunning chemistry between the lead pair. Her performance added emotional depth to an otherwise high-octane action narrative. Sitaare Zameen Par (2025): Sitaare Zameen Par, which was released earlier this year, marked a refreshing comeback for Genelia. Starring alongside Aamir Khan, the film resonated well with audiences and had a strong run at the box office. Here's Wishing Genelia D'Souza A Very Happy Birthday!

Suneel Darshan on not replacing Priyanka Chopra in Barsaat after Akshay Kumar's exit amid personal turbulence: 'Shaadishuda aadmiyon ko zyada responsible hona chahiye'
Filmmaker Suneel Darshan , who is known for directing hit collaborations with Akshay Kumar in the early 2000s, has addressed the actor's sudden exit from his 2005 film Barsaat. While promoting Andaaz 2, Darshan recalled the behind-the-scenes turbulence and explained why he chose to retain Priyanka Chopra as the lead, even as Akshay backed out. 'There was a lot of turbulence in his personal life' Responding to whether Akshay was initially cast in Barsaat before being replaced by Bobby Deol , Suneel Darshan confirmed, 'Ab toh gaana YouTube pe hai. Maine Akshay aur Priyanka ka shoot... woh film shoot hui thi, I know. Haan, woh shoot hui thi film. Aur ek point aisa aaya ki uski personal life mein kaafi turbulence aa gayi thi.' Darshan said Akshay himself approached him with the request to exit the film. He told Bollywood Bubble, 'Usne mujhe poocha ki, 'Bhai, agar yeh mere bina ho sake, personal issues ki wajah se...' Toh main toh yeh maanta hoon ki actors ko bohot responsible hona chahiye, aur shaadishuda aadmiyon ko toh aur bhi zyada responsible hona chahiye.' Reflecting on how these personal choices affect a film's fate, he added, 'Lekin kya hota hai, galti karna insaan ki fitrat hoti hai — aur producer ko maar khana uski taqdeer mein hota hai.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 13 Celebrities Who Struggle With Mental Illness Undo 'I didn't want Priyanka to bear the burden' Despite the rumoured fallout between Akshay and Priyanka Chopra, Darshan chose not to replace the actress in the film. 'Yeh mera faisla tha, kyunki main chahta tha ki Priyanka Chopra ko us haadse ki responsibility ka onus na doon,' he said. 'Aur main sochta tha, bhai, jiska mere se gehra sambandh tha — jitna bhi tha — woh toh Akshay hi kehta tha ki 'main tujhe apna kya samajhta hoon'... Woh toh us waqt shayad kisi tape mein mil bhi jaaye.' 'Maine socha ki yeh hi better hai ki Priyanka ko continue karein, aur jisne mujhe option diya hai, usse replace karein.' Priyanka Chopra's Cryptic Post for Rekha Stuns Fans: 'Better Be A B*tch Than A Bichari' A professional split sparked by personal rumours? Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra had once been one of Bollywood's most bankable onscreen pairs, delivering hits like Andaaz, Aitraaz, and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. However, rumours of a romantic relationship between the two began circulating around the time of Barsaat, reportedly causing strain in Akshay's marriage with Twinkle Khanna . As per reports, Twinkle even considered divorce, prompting the actor to distance himself from Priyanka professionally. Their on-screen collaborations abruptly ceased following the incident. Over the years, Priyanka Chopra has largely remained silent on the matter. However, she has subtly acknowledged making the choice to step away to avoid causing tension in anyone's personal life. Most recently, in July 2025, while promoting her Hollywood film Heads of State, the actress briefly addressed her past professional dynamics, praising both Akshay Kumar and Tom Cruise for their action abilities, marking a rare mention of her former co-star.
