4 min readNew DelhiMar 20, 2026 02:16 PM IST Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan were married for 19 years before they went their separate ways in 2017, but a decade before that, they were once accused of spreading rumours about their separation in 2008 for a brand promotion. Senior journalist Vickey Lalwani, in a chat with actor Pooja Bhatt, revealed that Malaika actually confirmed the story of her divorce but later, when he confronted her about her alleged lies, she asked him, “Why should I tell you the truth?” Vickey was asked about any story that “blew up in his face” and he recalled that back in 2008, he got a call from a film director who told him that Malaika and Arbaaz were heading for a divorce. He recalled writing a story where he “said that Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan are breaking up.” He added, “They were doing an ad with a brand where they come together and separate or something.” Vickey alleged that Malaika and Arbaaz had “obviously percolated that story through …

Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra lied to Yash Chopra for Shah Rukh Khan’s DDLJ jacket: ‘Adi said, be ready to go back home’ | Bollywood News

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge completed 30 years earlier this year, and while the film continues to garner love across generations, one of its most defining visual elements remains etched in popular memory, the Harley-Davidson jacket worn by Shah Rukh Khan for a major chunk of the film. Over the years, the jacket became iconic, turning into a fashion craze that still persists. Recently, filmmaker Karan Johar, who served as an assistant director on the film, revealed the story behind acquiring the now-legendary jacket. While speaking on Manyavar’s YouTube channel, he shared how he, along with director Aditya Chopra and fellow assistant Uday Chopra, collectively pitched in to buy the expensive piece, without informing producer and veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra of its actual cost. “It was a Harley-Davidson jacket. Adi, Uday and I went together to purchase it. It was a 300-pound jacket in 1994, and now you can estimate how expensive it would be in today’s time,” he said. Recalling Yash Chopra’s reaction, or rather, the lack of it, Karan added, “He didn’t say anything …

Karan Johar recalls taking classes to ‘sound like a man’, lied about it to father because of THIS reason

Karan Johar recently opened up about a deeply personal phase in his life, revealing that he took voice modulation classes for over two years just to “sound like a man.” In a candid conversation with Raj Shamani, Karan recalled, “Duniya mein samaaj mein aapko bahut problem hoga kyunki aapki jo awaaz hai woh ladkiyon jaisi hai… baritone laao (You’ll face problems in society because your voice is like that of a girl. You need to bring baritone).” He added that he was so embarrassed about it that he lied to his father, late Yash Johar, and told him he was attending computer classes instead. “I was very shy to tell him I’m going to do this. I was feeling ashamed,” he admitted. Karan Johar shared that during his childhood and teenage years, he was bullied not just for his voice but also for how he walked and looked. He revealed that many people would mock his mannerisms, treating him differently for not fitting into conventional gender norms. However, his parents, especially his father, remained a …

Apple exec ‘outright lied’ during Epic trial

Apple exec ‘outright lied’ during Epic trial

In her ruling banning Apple from charging a commission on purchases made outside the App Store, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers says that an Apple executive “outright lied under oath.” According to Gonzalez Rogers, Alex Roman, vice president of finance at Apple, gave testimony that was “replete with misdirection and outright lies.” The judge writes that Roman lied when testifying that Apple hadn’t decided on the 27 percent number for its fee on purchases outside the App Store until January 16th, 2024. “Contemporaneous business documents reveal that on the contrary, the main components of Apple’s plan, including the 27 percent commission, were determined in July 2023,” Gonzalez Rogers says. “Neither Apple, nor its counsel, corrected the, now obvious, lies.” Gonzalez Rogers says that she is referring the case to a US attorney for possible criminal contempt proceedings against Apple and Roman. “Apple willfully chose not to comply with this Court’s Injunction,” Gonzalez Rogers says at the end of the filing (emphasis hers). “It did so with the express intent to create new anticompetitive barriers which would, …

When Andrew Garfield Lied To Emma Stone About Spider-Man: No Way Home Cameo

Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man Secret ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Andrew Garfield isn’t into lying, but for No Way Home, he mastered it, even tricking Emma Stone about his return. “Emma kept on texting me,” Garfield shared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. Her texts? Straight to the point: “Are you in this new Spider-Man film?” His replies? Total denial. “I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’” Stone didn’t let up. “Shut up, just tell me,” she demanded. Garfield played it cool: “Honestly, don’t know what…” Having seen the film, Stone had just one thing to say: “You’re a jerk.” Garfield’s secrecy wasn’t limited to Stone. When asked to reprise his web-slinging role in Tom Holland’s third outing as Spidey, he knew the stakes were pretty high. Spoilers had to stay buried. “It was stressful, I’m not gonna lie,” Garfield told The Wrap. But he also found the whole stuff “weirdly enjoyable.” He likened the experience to a giant game of Werewolf – the party game where players bluff and conceal their …
