Sanam Johar opens up about his passion for tattoos; says ‘In a fragile world, tattoos are permanent'
Actor and choreographer Sanam Johar, known for his roles in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin and various dance reality shows, recently shared his deep passion for tattoos, coinciding with Tattoo Day on July 17. The actor not only sports eight to nine tattoos himself but also owns two tattoo studios in Mumbai, marking his serious commitment to this art form. 'In the life today when everything is fragile, nothing is permanent. This permanence is a key factor I enjoy about tattoo. I'm passionate about them and have good 8 to 9 tattoos inked,' Sanam said, expressing how tattoos symbolize stability in an otherwise fleeting world. Reflecting on his first tattoo, Sanam recalled, 'My first tattoo was probably in 2010, when I got inked 'Ek Onkar' on my left hand. It is very special to me representing the concept of the oneness of God. I have chosen this tattoo because I totally believe and appreciate its message of unity and faith.' Sanam highlighted how tattoos have evolved into mainstream expressions of individuality. 'Tattoos have evolved from niche subculture symbols to widely accepted forms of personal expression and artistic display, becoming a significant trend in modern society. Not just me but my family, from my mom to sisters we all are passionate about tattoos. We all have inked a good number of tattoos.' Talking about his tattoo studios, he credited his mother for the business idea. 'Today I own 2 tattoo studios in Mumbai and the credit behind goes to my mom (Mrs. Kamini). She's into business and after she shifted Mumbai, it was her to bless me with this beautiful business idea. It's been around two years now when we inaugurated our first studio in Bandra and recently we came up with the second one in Navi Mumbai.' Besides tattoos, Sanam is also celebrated for his choreography on shows like Nach Baliye and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, as well as his charming presence in the web entertainment space.

Sanam, Mohib announce birth of their first baby
Actors Sanam Saeed and Mohib Mirza have announced the birth of their first child, a baby boy named Vali Hasan Mirza. While the couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post on Friday, the celebratory post reveals that Vali was born on May 18. In the caption, Sanam wrote: "Our hearts are full. With love, wonder, and the tiniest little fingers — we welcome our son Vali Hasan Mirza into the world surrounded by love. All that is by the will of Allah — there is no power except through Him. Please keep our little one in your prayers." This joyous milestone follows years of quiet companionship between the actors. While rumours of a relationship circulated for some time, the couple confirmed their marriage in early 2023 during an appearance on a cricket talk show hosted by Fahad Mustafa. Later, on The Knock Knock Show, Mohib revealed that his feelings for Sanam began while filming the TV series Deedan in 2016. At the time, he was still married to actor Aamina Sheikh, with whom he shares a daughter. The two divorced in 2019. Before Mohib, Sanam was married to her childhood friend, Farhan Hasan, before the couple parted ways. Just weeks before Vali's birth, Sanam posted a heartfelt Mother's Day tribute to her own mother, announcing her pregnancy: "I'll be one very soon Inshallah. I pray I'm every bit like her and more. My saviour, my protector, my role model." Sanam has spoken candidly about her relationship with Mohib on various occasions, calling her decision to marry at 35 the best one she ever made. "I was more sure of myself, more grounded, and more emotionally mature," she said in a 2024 interview. The actor pointed out that societal perceptions often discourage marriage after a certain age, especially for women. "Yes, 35 is considered an older age for marriage, but that doesn't mean if someone has failed in their first marriage or hasn't married by this age, they shouldn't marry at all," she added. Ever the doting husband, Mohib has reciprocated this praise by gushing about Sanam's character. "She is one of the most focused and diligent actors I've ever worked with. She inspires me," he shared in an interview earlier this year. "You won't know a more balanced person."

Iran's civilians are terrorized by the attacks: 'Israel strikes everywhere, at any hour'
Since the night of June 13, Sanam (who requested to have her name changed) has not slept. Around 3 am, the tower in northern Tehran where Ali Shamkhani, a close adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, lived was hit by an Israeli attack. "At first, I thought it was a thunderclap, but I soon saw objects in the sky. A few seconds later, a huge explosion rang out," said Sanam, 30, an IT specialist whom Le Monde contacted via WhatsApp. Since then, she has had many sleepless nights, staying awake restlessly watching the news and constantly scanning the sky, "because Israel strikes hard at night." Since June 13, 2025, Israel has been carrying out strikes on Iranian military and strategic infrastructure. These attacks have, however, also caused significant civilian casualties. Two hospitals were hit, one in the western city of Kermanshah and another in Tehran. On the night of June 19 to 20, Sanam, in a panic, called her friends who had left Tehran for the northern city of Rasht after they saw the Israeli military post an evacuation order for the city on X. "I told them to take shelter. They didn't have internet, but I had a little [service]," she explained. An hour later, five projectiles struck the Sefid Rud industrial complex in Rasht. Her friends described the sky turning as bright as day from the explosion. Then they saw planes heading toward Tehran. Minutes later, Sanam's apartment shook. "The Israelis struck the Nobonyad and Lavizan neighborhoods, not far from my house," said Sanam, who has sheltered in the basement every time she heard a threatening noise. The strikes continued through Friday night into Saturday, intensifying further in Tehran, Rasht, and Isfahan.
