In the perpetually buzzing world of K-pop, gossip tends to live on of its own accord—and this time, CNBLUE member and actor Jung Yong Hwa was in the midst of wedding rumors. On October 15, a post on an online community went viral after saying that the 36-year-old celebrity was set to wed next year.

With no recent news of dating and his status thought to be unmarried, the rumour surprised fans, generating confusion and intrigue. The cryptic post was simple with the words, “My friend told me that Jung Yong Hwa will be married next year,” and soon spread through all social media platforms.

Faced with the whirlpool of rumors head-on, Jung Yong Hwa went on a livestream to reach out to fans and lay the speculations to rest. Speaking in his characteristic tranquil and sarcastic tone, he replied, “Normally, next year’s itinerary comes up by June. As it is now, my calendar for next year is already filled [with work]. I don’t see a ‘wedding’ on it.”

Brushing aside the rumors, he added, “No wedding on the agenda—so do stop DM’ing me with questions about it. It felt weird even to comment, so I kept my mouth shut.”

With this blunt remark, the singer conclusively refuted the rumors and calmed fans that he has no plans for marriage in the near future. He underscored that his priority at the moment is his hectic professional engagements for the rest of the year.

Jung Yong Hwa’s candid but lighthearted answer came as a welcome relief to fans, who had been spamming his inbox with messages. His blunt message has set the rumors straight, telling fans that not all online gossip must be taken seriously—particularly when it is presented without facts.

Salman Khan Breaks Silence on Dabangg Feud With Director: ‘You’re Destroying Yourself, Brother’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Superstar Salman Khan chanced upon a recent Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar episode to deliver a fiery, direct response to the persistent allegations made by filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap, the director of the first Dabangg film.

Without naming him initially during a conversation with comedian Ravi Gupta, Salman addressed the controversy head-on, questioning Kashyap’s current professional standing in the industry.

“We have one more Dabangg person,” Salman began. “He even dragged Aamir [Khan] into this. During Weekend Ka Vaar last week, I asserted ‘Just do your work, nobody’s interested.’ Today, I want to ask again, ‘Did you get any work, brother?’”

Questioning Professional Conduct and Career Choices

Salman went on to criticize Kashyap’s public behavior, suggesting it’s detrimental to his career. “If you’re going to criticize everyone, people will not work with you. Now, the person you have named will not work with you, nor the people associated with the person,” he asserted.

He revealed that despite the friction, his team had offered Kashyap a film, which the director refused. “When we offered you a film, you said you wouldn’t do it.”

While expressing how the allegations have personally hurt him, Salman emphasized that he still believes Kashyap is a talented filmmaker who should focus on his craft.

“The one thing that hurts me the most is that you are destroying yourself,” Salman shared. He then gave Kashyap blunt advice, urging him to prioritize his personal life and family. “If you want to get after someone, please go after your family or your brother (Anurag Kashyap). Or, love your brother, your parents, your wife. That’s the least you can do.”

He concluded his advice by encouraging the director to reconsider his current path: “I want to see you grow, you are a talented man. He is a good writer. Don’t go down this lane, take a u-turn from this highway.”

Responding to the ‘Fall to His Knees’ Remark

Salman also took the opportunity to respond to one of Kashyap’s most inflammatory recent remarks, where the director claimed Salman would soon “fall to his knees and even beg.”

Addressing the threat directly, the Sikandar actor stated: “Only God will take care of you. And friend, you talk about me going down on my knees, I go down on knees every morning but to pray.”

The Nature of Abhinav Kashyap’s Accusations

Abhinav Kashyap has been making various claims against Salman Khan for a while. He has alleged that the superstar took undue credit for Dabangg and was involved in manipulation within the industry.

Kashyap recently appeared on a podcast where he revisited an old incident from the set of Tere Naam, claiming that Salman made things so difficult for his brother, Anurag Kashyap, that Anurag was forced to walk away from the project.

Regarding Salman’s recent supportive comments about Anurag’s film Nishaanchi, Abhinav had scoffed at the praise. He had said, “It is written in Salman’s destiny that now he will lick our feet. I had called him a goon in an interview, and now he is trying to show that he is a big admirer of ours. The same Anurag Kashyap whom he harassed during Tere Naam… Now he will fall to his knees and even beg.” Salman’s Bigg Boss rant was his public counter to these specific attacks.

Neeraj Ghaywan breaks silence on Karan Johar's being trolled on remarks for Homebound

‘Disturbed’ Neeraj Ghaywan Breaks Silence On Karan Johar Being Trolled For Homebound Remarks

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Neeraj Ghaywan clarified that Karan Johar’s remarks about Homebound were taken out of context and expressed disappointment over the criticism he received for his comments. The filmmaker publicly supported Karan Johar after the latter faced backlash for his recent statements. Earlier this month, Karan mentioned that he now evaluates profitability with every project and questioned whether a film like Homebound could be made again. His comments sparked criticism online, with many accusing him of prioritising commercial interests over artistic integrity.

In an interview with Lallantop Cinema, Neeraj Ghaywan defended Karan, explaining the true intent behind his words. He conveyed his disappointment over the reactions to Karan’s remarks. Ghaywan said, “He has such a big production banner and is such a prominent producer that he doesn’t need to support a film like this for commercial reasons. He was fully aware that the film wouldn’t be a blockbuster or generate profits. But the emotional depth of the story moved him, and that’s why he chose to back it. He has always said he just wanted to be part of it in some way. Seeing people question his honesty and cast doubt on his intentions really hurts.”

He added, “Misquoting or misrepresenting what he said can completely demoralise him. It undermines his contribution to the film. I’m very disturbed by all this. It’s a significant moment — a major banner like his deciding to produce such a sensitive film with an independent filmmaker. We should be encouraging more such collaborations. Instead, if we react negatively, it will discourage future projects like this. I urge everyone to understand that his comments have been taken out of context.”

Neeraj further clarified that Karan’s remarks were purely from a business standpoint and that he never said he wouldn’t produce a film like Homebound again. He also credited Karan for giving him complete creative freedom during the film’s making.

What Karan Johar Said?

In a recent interview with Komal Nahta on his YouTube channel Game Changers, Karan Johar discussed his partnership with Adar Poonawalla. He said, “Now, you have to take every decision with profitability. It is very important to be profitable. We are a commercial enterprise. I made Homebound, which was critically acclaimed worldwide, but I can’t say if I’ll take such decisions in the future or not. I might feel upset, but I chose this project for a reason — growth. Growth comes from profit, and profit comes from profitability. I will always be artistic, but it’s essential to be commercial as well.”

His comments drew criticism on social media. In response, on October 10, Karan shared an Instagram note urging people not to “misconstrue or misquote” his words. He wrote, “It was an academic conversation about the business of our films… I am and will always be exceptionally proud of Homebound. It will always hold a special place in our filmography as one of our finest and most sensitively directed works.”

About Homebound

Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Homebound premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2025, where it received a nine-minute standing ovation. The film stars Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jethwa in leading roles and was released in theatres on September 26, 2025. Despite positive critical reviews, the film underperformed at the box office, earning only Rs 2.65 crore worldwide.

Set in a small village in North India, Homebound tells the story of childhood friends aspiring to clear the police exam and escape poverty. The film has been selected as India’s official entry for the 2026 Oscars in the Best International Feature Film category.

Deepika Padukone Breaks Silence on Her 8-hour Workday Demand

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Actress Deepika Padukone has spoken out after discussions emerged about her decision to request an eight-hour working day on sets, following her exit from Spirit and the Kalki 2898 AD sequel. In an interview with CNBC-TV18, she addressed the criticism and explained her reasoning behind the move.
Deepika noted that male actors in the Indian film industry have long been working similar schedules, but it has not drawn much attention. “By virtue of being a woman, if that’s coming across as being pushy or whatever, then so be it. But it is no secret that a lot of superstars, male superstars, in the Indian film industry, have been working for eight hours for years, and it’s never made headlines,” she said.

She added that many male actors work eight hours a day, Monday to Friday, often without working on weekends. “I don’t want to take names now and make this into a whole thing, but it is very commonly, publicly known that a lot of male actors have been working for eight hours a day for years,” Deepika explained.
Speaking about the larger industry, she reflected on its working culture. “Even though the Indian film industry is termed as an industry, we have never really worked like an industry. It is a very disorganised industry. I think it’s time we brought in some system into this culture,” she said.

Deepika Padukone

Deepika exited Spirit reportedly because her request to limit her working hours so she could spend time with her daughter, Dua, was not met. Soon after, Vyjayanthi Movies confirmed that she would no longer be part of the Kalki 2898 AD sequel, noting that the decision followed “careful consideration” and that a film like Kalki requires a high level of “commitment.”
On the work front, Deepika has already started shooting for Siddharth Anand’s King, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan. She will also appear in Atlee’s upcoming project AA22xA6 alongside Allu Arjun. With these projects lined up, Deepika is moving forward while emphasizing the importance of structured work hours and balance in the industry, a conversation that continues to resonate with both actors and audiences.

Actor Deepika Padukone broke her silence after a row emerged over her demand for an 8-hour shift following her exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit and Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2. Speaking with CNBC-TV18, Deepika shared how “male superstars” have been doing an 8-hour shift for years, but it “never made headlines.”

In the interview, Deepika reacted when she was told she was facing a lot of pushback for her decision. She said, “By virtue of being a woman, if that’s coming across as being pushy or whatever, then so be it. But it is no secret that a lot of superstars, male superstars, in the Indian film industry, have been working for eight hours for years, and it’s never made headlines.”

Deepika says male actors have been working for 8 hours for years

“I don’t want to take names now and make this into a whole thing, but it is very commonly, publicly known that a lot of male actors have been working for eight hours a day for years. A lot of them only work for eight hours Monday to Friday. They do not work on weekends,” she added.

Deepika said that even though the Indian film industry is “termed as an industry, we have never really worked like an industry”. She added that it’s “a very disorganised industry”, saying she thinks “it’s time we brought in some system into this culture.”

Deepika’s exit from Spirit, Kalki 2898 AD sequel

The actor found herself in a row after she exited Spirit, reportedly over wanting to work not more than eight hours a day during the shoot so that she could be with her daughter, Dua. However, her demands weren’t met, and she exited the film.

Recently, Vyjayanthi Movies announced that she is no longer a part of the Kalki 2898 AD sequel. In their statement, they said that they decided to part ways with Deepika after “careful consideration,” adding that a film like Kalki deserves a higher level of “commitment.”

About Deepika’s upcoming films

Deepika began her shooting for King just a few days after her exit from the Kalki 2898 AD sequel. Directed by Siddharth Anand, King stars Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan, among others. Deepika will star in Atlee’s upcoming film AA22xA6 alongside Allu Arjun.

Saif Ali Khan Broke Silence On Being Attacked In His Mumbai Bungalow After 9 Months On Twinkle Khanna Show

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed during a frightening home invasion earlier this year, an incident that shook both fans and the film industry. The attack happened on the night of January 16th, when an intruder broke into Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s residence in Mumbai. The man entered the room of their younger son, Jeh, and in a bid to escape, stabbed Saif multiple times. Saif was rushed to the hospital, where surgeons removed a part of the knife from his body.

However, questions and rumors about the authenticity of the attack soon surfaced after Saif was seen walking out of the hospital unassisted and looking relatively fit. Many speculated that the incident might have been staged. Now, nine months later, Saif has finally opened up and addressed the situation on Kajol and Twinkle Khanna’s talk show, “Too Much.” During the interview, Saif revealed the harrowing details of that night.

He said Kareena was out when the incident took place, and he was with their sons Taimur and Jeh after watching a movie. Around 2 a.m., the maid informed him that an intruder was in Jeh’s room, holding a knife and demanding money. Saif described how he rushed into the room and confronted the man, who swung the knife wildly, injuring both Jeh and the nanny. A fierce struggle ensued, and Saif was stabbed multiple times, including a wound near his spine.

Saif credited Jeh’s nanny for saving his life by pushing the attacker away. Despite the pain, Saif reassured his son Taimur that he would survive. After the attacker fled, Kareena planned to take the children to Karisma Kapoor’s house, but Saif insisted on going to the hospital, even requesting a stretcher upon arrival. Addressing the rumors, Saif said he walked out of the hospital because he wanted to reassure fans and avoid unnecessary panic. “There was no need for a wheelchair,” he explained, adding that although walking was painful, he was physically capable. Saif also shared that his mother, Sharmila Tagore, advised him to use a wheelchair, but he chose not to.

Anu Malik BREAKS SILENCE On Amaal Mallik’s Abandonment Claims

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Amaal Mallik recently alleged that Anu Malik’s family abandoned him during the 2005 Mumbai floods. In response, Anu Malik dismissed these claims as false, calling them “a lie told 1,000 times” and advising not to waste energy reacting to such accusations. The composer, who has gained attention as one of the most talked-about contestants on Bigg Boss 19—known for opening up about depression and speaking candidly about conflicts—recalled the incident involving Malik’s family and his mother during the floods. He has now reacted strongly to his nephew’s allegations, calling them untrue.

Anu Malik REACTS To Amaal Mallik’s Abandonment Claims

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Anu Malik addressed the accusations, saying, “A lie told 1,000 times will never become the truth. One can’t waste energy reacting to everything.”

He also shared wisdom from his father, Sardar Malik, “My father always told me, never allow poison to churn in your mind. If you do, you’ll never be a good composer. People may hurt you, but they can’t take away your talent—that’s yours. I sit at my piano, create a new tune, and that’s my answer to the world.”

Anu Feels Unappreciated

The 64-year-old musician admitted feeling underappreciated for his contributions to the industry, saying, “I feel like I’ve been underused and underutilised. There’s still so much more I can give.”

Regarding the alleged abandonment, Malik explained, “We are two swords of the same empire; no one has a bigger heart than my father. When the Mumbai floods hit on July 26, 2005, I was about seven years old. Juhu is a low-lying area, so it was flooded. I was outside the gate, struggling and crying, with water up to my chest. I saw Malik’s family see me and lock their Mercedes, leaving me stranded. A friend of my father’s wife saw me and helped me into her car. I was waving, hoping for help, but instead of opening the door, she locked it. When I returned home and recounted what happened, it caused a huge scene.”(SIC)

Recently, Amaal Mallik made headlines again after a heated spat with Kunickaa Sadanand, during which they exchanged accusations about family and used abusive language. On the show, Amaal recalled being abandoned by his uncle and aunt during the 2005 Mumbai floods. He claimed they locked their car doors and left him to fend for himself in the floodwaters.

‘I’m not ready to die yet’: Dolly Parton breaks silence on illness rumours – National

by jummy84
written by jummy84

UPDATE: Dolly Parton wants her fans to know that even though “there’s just a lot of rumours out there,” she’s doing fine.

Parton said that “lately everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am” and wanted to address her health issues in a video on Instagram.

“Well, today’s October the 8th, and obviously I’m here. … Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard here,” Parton said on set of a commercial for the Grand Ole Opry. “I wanted to put everybody’s mind at ease, those that seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate – and I appreciate your prayers, ’cause I’m a person of faith, I can always use the prayers for anything and everything – but I want you to know that I’m OK!”

“I’ve got some problems, as I’ve mentioned,” Parton continued. “Back when my husband Carl was very sick – that was for a long time – and then when he passed, I didn’t take care of myself, so I let a lot of things go that I should have been taking care of. So anyway, when I got around to it, the doctor said, we need to take care of this. We need to take care of that.”

Parton said that it’s “nothing major, but I did have to cancel some things so I could be closer to home” and closer to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, “where I’m kind of having a few treatments here and there, but I wanted you to know that I’m not dying.”

She also joked about an AI photo circulating online that showed her on her “death bed” with Reba McEntire by her side.

“Did you see that AI picture of Reba and me? Oh, lordy! I mean, they had Reba at my deathbed, and we both look like we need to be buried. I thought, oh, my Lord. But if I was really dying, I don’t think Reba would be the one at my deathbed. She might come visit me earlier,” she added.

“There’s just a lot of rumours flying around, but I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I was okay,” she said. “So anyhow, that’s what I wanted to say and I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me and I ain’t done working. So I love you for caring, and keep praying for me.”

“I want to clear something up,” Freida, 68, wrote in a Facebook post. “I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly.”

Freida said that Parton, 79, has “been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer.”


“It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference,” she added.

Earlier on Tuesday, Freida took to Facebook to share an update on the Jolene singer, with a photo of Parton praying.

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately,” she wrote. “I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.

“She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you.”

Hours after Freida’s latest post, Parton’s sister Stella, 76, also shared an update on Facebook, speaking out about the criticism she’s received from fans for not speaking out about her sister’s health.

“My big sister Dolly posted last week, giving her fans an update concerning her health and that she has been seeking treatment for kidney stones,” Stella wrote.

She said Freida “is concerned” and asked “for prayers on Dolly’s behalf.”

“I personally, respect the privacy of ALL my family members and will not disrespect them by discussing their personal business with anyone,” she continued. “If you need further information please go to their pages. That being said, those of you who feel the need to attack or insult me because I don’t serve as your information booth you aren’t really fans.

“If you were you would not make such an effort to say some of the hurtful things you’ve posted on my different social media platforms in the past 24 hours! I personally, appreciate those of you with sincere concerns on Dolly’s behalf and so do my family members.”

Parton postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years due to “health challenges” in late September. She did not elaborate on what her health issues are.

The country music icon announced the news in a post on Instagram on Sept. 28, telling fans that she wanted them “to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts.”

“As many of you know, I’ve been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!” the 9 to 5 singer wrote.

“In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.”

She assured fans not to “worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet.”

Parton was scheduled to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for Dolly: Live in Las Vegas between Dec. 4 and Dec. 13, overlapping with the National Finals Rodeo. Her dates have been moved to September 2026.

Earlier in September, Parton cancelled her planned attendance at an announcement of a new ride at her Tennessee theme park, Dollywood.

“I had a kidney stone that was causing me a lot of problems, turned out it’d given me an infection and the doctor said, ‘You don’t need to be travelling right this minute, so you need a few days to get better,’” Parton said in a video announcement at the time.

Aahana Kumra BREAKS SILENCE On Aarush Bhola’s Remarks About Anaya Bangar’s Sexuality| Bollywood Bubble

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Aahana Kumra, Aarush Bhola and Anaya Bangar were participating in Ashneer Grover hosted Rise and Fall. During one of the episodes, Aarush made quite personal remarks on Anaya being transgender, and now Aahana responded to this incident. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, the former contestant revealed how insensitive the format is. Aahana supported Anaya’s struggles to be where she is today. Scroll down to read what happened and watch the full interview.

When asked about Aarush Bhola’s remarks on Anaya Bangar being transgender, Aahana Kumra responded, “Dekhiye, let me begin with the fact that this format is an insensitive format. Yeh poora format hi bahut hi insensitive hai. Yahaan par sensitive logon ke liye jagah hi nahi hai. And I realised this because I am a sensitive person, and I can feel things very deeply. Jahan se Anaya aati hai, unhone bahut zyaada insensitivity dekhi hai, jheli hai. Unke ghar waale bhi unke decisions ko question karte rahe. Toh agar woh aisi jagah se aayi hai, jahan unhone itna bada decision liya aur apni life ko 360 degrees change kar diya, apni poori zindagi apne haath mein le li, toh unko ek-do insaanon ke opinions se koi farak nahi padta.”

Continuing, she continued, “Kabhi aapse pucha gaya ki aapne Aarush ko bola ho ki ‘This is this?’ Actually, yeh sab conversations mere saamne nahi hui thi. Jo unki mitr banti thi show mein, unhone kaha ki mitr hai ya nahi mujhe nahi pata. Jaise maine bola, main basement mein ek hi hafte rahi thi, toh mujhe sabke equations ke baare mein clarity nahi hai. Mujhe apne equations ke baare mein bahut clearly pata hai, but sabke equations ke baare mein main nahi keh sakti. I think Aakriti and Anaya were friends, and they will probably continue to be friends. But I also know that Aarush, Anaya, and Bali are very good friends. So, Anaya has a great relationship. She is actually a really endearing girl.”

Aahana Kumra On Aarush, Aakriti Fight

Aahana recalled a fight between Aarush and Aakriti. She said, “Aur jab mere saamne Aarush aur Aakriti ka jagda hua tha, tab Aarush chilla-chilla kar Aakriti ko ‘Dogla, dogla’ bol raha tha cameras ke saamne. Aur uss dauraan usne ek aisi baat kahi Anaya ke baare mein jo Aakriti ne pehle kahi thi. Aakriti ne kaha tha ki Anaya ke andar mardana taakat hai. Aur woh conversation already ho chuki thi. Okay? But phir se us fight mein woh baat uthaayi gayi.”

Continuing, she said, “Toh Anaya ne us time bola, ‘Bhai, tum log mujhe kyu ghaseet rahe ho apni conversation mein? We have already had this chat. Why are we again involving me?’ Aur uss waqt maine Aarush ko bola, maine kaha, ‘Aarush, sorry boliye Anaya ko. This was not required.’ Aur Aarush ne usi waqt sorry bola.”

Further adding, Aahana said, “So, I realised one thing about Aarush — ki woh kuch bhi ho sakta hai, woh moofat ho sakta hai, woh mazaak udata hai, but dil ka bohot achha hai. Aur jab maine ek hafta uske saath basement mein bitaya, tab mujhe yeh baat samajh aayi ki he is actually a really good guy. You know, woh Delhi ka launda hai, toh kabhi-kabhi usko samajh mein nahi aata ki woh kya bol raha hai, mazaak uda deta hai. But if you tell him something, agar aap usko bolenge ki ‘Yaar Aarush, yeh theek nahi tha,’ toh he immediately turns around and says sorry. And that’s lovely about him.”

What Happened Between Aarush And Anaya?

Aarush Bhola made personal remarks about transgender cricketer Anaya Bangar early in their friendship on the reality show Rise and Fall, leading to accusations of transphobia and homophobia. Following a confrontation later in the show, Bhola apologised and expressed a change in perspective, with Bangar confirming that they eventually became good friends. During their time on Rise and Fall, Bhola initially made comments that were transphobic and homophobic, which hurt Bangar. However, Bangar chose not to retaliate aggressively and instead sought to build understanding, believing she could use her influence to educate him, given his large social media following.

Sameer Wankhede Breaks Silence On Aryan Khan Arrest: ‘No Scapegoat In This’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Sameer Wankhede, the former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer who oversaw the controversial arrest of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan in October 2021, has spoken out about the high-profile episode. Wankhede’s interview comes just days after he raised legal objections to a scene in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba*ds of Bollywood, claiming it was defamatory against him. In the interview, Wankhede gave a detailed, though technically indirect, defense of the arrest and the subsequent month-long custody, tackling accusations of corruption and the ‘scapegoat’ theory.

​Speaking on the Mama’s Couch YouTube channel, Sameer Wankhede initially acknowledged that he had signed an affidavit, which was submitted in the Bombay High Court, committing to not speaking about the Aryan Khan case to the media. Despite this constraint, as the interviewer continued to ask direct questions about the case, Wankhede chose to answer in detail, meticulously avoiding the explicit mention of Aryan Khan’s name while addressing the circumstances surrounding the arrest.

​Wankhede was pressed on why a person, referring to Aryan, was kept in custody for 25 days despite no drugs being found on them. Wankhede used this question to explain the broader legal scope of drug law enforcement, arguing that possession is not the sole factor in an arrest. “People have this misconception that if no drugs were found on you, there won’t be any action,” he explained. “If someone has been caught with drugs, then someone must have manufactured it, someone must have supplied it and there must be someone who is intending to buy it.”

​He continued to outline the investigative necessity of a wider dragnet: “Do you think that we should not arrest those who manufacture them, or those who are intending to buy them because both of them will not be in possession of drugs? The law entails that the entire chain should be arrested. No matter who is the one who has the possession,” he said, implying that the arrestee could have been involved in the supply or purchase chain even without direct possession.

​Defending the Arrest and Addressing Bribery Claims

​When the interviewer directly asked if the arrestee was made a “bali ka bakra (scapegoat)”, Wankhede firmly defended his stance and the investigative process. “Isme bali ka bakra koi banta nahi hai (There is no scapegoat in this),” he asserted. He then detailed the process that precedes any arrest, dismissing the notion that the action was arbitrary. “After a lot of thought, there is a conscious possession, there is some electronic evidence, there is some statement, so on the basis of that, the investigation is done.”

​Wankhede also reminded the public that the process of securing bail is complex and involves multiple legal clearances, not just the decision of one officer. “It’s not just Wankhede who is doing it all, there are a lot of procedures,” he said, listing the multiple legal channels that one has to go through to get their bail granted.

​The former NCB officer was also asked about the serious allegation of leaking his private conversations with Shah Rukh Khan, where the star was allegedly pleading with him. Wankhede flatly denied the accusation: “Leaking would be the wrong word here. It’s neither my habit, nor am I so weak to do such things. I don’t need to do such things.”

​Finally, he addressed the most serious charge leveled against him: the ₹25 crore bribery charge allegedly sought for Aryan Khan’s release. “You all saw the chats and I don’t want to repeat what is in the chats. I took action, and didn’t leave anyone. I will just say that I arrested, and nothing else,” he concluded, standing by his decision to proceed with the arrest regardless of the individual’s high-profile status.

​Aryan Khan was ultimately cleared of all drug charges by the NCB in 2022 due to a “lack of sufficient evidence,” closing the contentious legal chapter, but the public scrutiny surrounding the arrest clearly remains.
