Kim Soo-hyun sues Kim Sae-ron's family over defamation case
Se-ui further alleged that Soo-hyun resorted to physical assault after refusing to pay four billion won (approx. Rs 25.3 crore) to suppress the audio. He also accused the actor of violating South Korea's Child Welfare Act, a grave criminal offence in the country.In response, Soo-hyun's legal team asserted that the recording was AI-generated and completely fabricated. The statement accused Kim Se-ui and Kim Sae-ron's family of not only spreading false information but also filing a criminal complaint based on forged evidence. Calling it a 'serious case of false accusation,' the team emphasised their intent to hold both parties 'fully accountable.'Speculations emerged suggesting that Kim Soo-hyun had been in a relationship with Kim Sae-ron while she was still a minor. The controversy deepened following Kim Sae-ron's tragic death by suicide on February 16, 2025. Reports indicate that her situation had deteriorated after a DUI incident in May 2022, which led to financial disputes with her agency, Gold Medalist. Allegedly, Kim Soo-hyun distanced himself from her despite her repeated pleas for help in resolving her debts.Following her death, additional accusations surfaced, including the leak of private photos and claims of an ongoing secret relationship.- Ends

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 14: Mohit Suri's latest romantic film, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is setting box office records and remains a strong performer after 13 days of release. The film has earned nearly ₹ 274 crore in the last 13 days. Saiyaara earned an estimated ₹ 2.56 crore India net on Thursday, July 31 at the box office, according to trade industry tracker Sacnilk, marking a significant decline since Wednesday. The Ahaan Pandey starrer film opened to ₹ 21.5 crore. On Wednesday, Day 13, the film earned ₹ 7.5 crore. The total collection of Saiyaara now stands at ₹ 276.5 crore, according to Sacnilk data. Speaking on the Saiyaara box office collection, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on X, 'continues its dream run… The film has crossed the ₹ 💯 cr mark in *Week 2* [Friday to Wednesday], reflecting its strong hold at the box-office. It is now eyeing a ₹ 285 cr [+/-] total by the end of Week 2.' In another post on X, Adarsh noted, '#Saiyaara continues its strong run on Tuesday, hitting double digits yet again… The discounted ticket pricing initiative has certainly helped drive footfalls.' However, the film's collection has been impacted by Ashwin Kumar's mythological animated film, Mahavatar Narsimha that released on July 25, 2025. Saiyaara is a romantic musical drama film directed by Mohit Suri. Produced by Yash Raj Films, it stars debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda along with Geeta Agarwal, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola. The film is loosely inspired by the 2004 Korean movie A Moment To Remember. IMDb describes plot of Saiyaara as, 'Vaani (Aneet Padda) and Krish (Ahaan Pandey) will have to navigate life, their problems, their insecurities to hopefully realise that only love can be the answer to everything.'

Mumbai police arrest gang of four for robbery and extortion by posing as cops
Mumbai: The Azad Maidan police in Mumbai arrested four individuals, including three women, for their alleged involvement in a daring robbery and extortion while impersonating as cops. The complainant was duped into believing he was being raided by police officers. The four arrested accused were identified as Amina alias Farah Sajid Khan (41), Fatima Yusuf alias Afsar Khan (40), Sabina Jharnan Qureshi (36), and Rafiq Mahmand Sheikh (40). All four are residents of Shivshahi Colony, Goregaon (East), Mumbai. The accused forced the man to transfer Rs 90,000 online and looted a gold chain worth Rs 3.5 lakh from the victim's residence. The complaint was filed by Nishilkumar Mabja alias Milesh, a South Mumbai resident. He alleged that on July 27, around 6 PM, the prime accused, Farah, along with six unknown women and a male accomplice, barged into his house posing as police officers. Under the pretext of a raid, they assaulted the complainant and demanded Rs 2 lakh, threatening to implicate him in a false case. During the incident, the accused forcibly snatched a gold chain with a locket, weighing around 40 grams and valued at about Rs 3.5 lakh, from the complainant.
