Entertainment Grammy-nominated singer Akon, best known for hits such as ‘Locked Up’ and ‘Lonely,’ is facing a major shift in his personal life. His wife, Tomeka Thiam, has filed for divorce from the artist just four days before what would have been their 29th wedding anniversary. Akon’s wife files for divorce days before 29th wedding anniversary The divorce petition, filed on September 11, 2025, cites irreconcilable differences. Tomeka is seeking joint legal custody of their 17-year-old daughter, Journey, while asking for physical custody herself. She also requests spousal support and has asked that Akon not receive any spousal support in return. Akon, born Aliaune Thiam, and Tomeka were married in 1996, joining their lives in a relationship that has spanned nearly three decades. The marriage has, over the years, been set against the backdrop of Akon’s public persona as a family man: he has previously revealed that he is the father of nine children, and that he practices polygamy, which he says is part of his culture. Speaking about his family, in a 2022 interview on The Zeze Mills Show, Akon stated, “(Polygamy is) part of our culture. Absolutely,” and added, “For me, it looks normal, because it’s culture for us. We didn’t go outside of our African culture when we got to the Western world.” He further explained his role as a father, “My job ain’t to be doing all that extra stuff and these holidays and recitals. While I’m taking care of my responsibility to make sure the family has a roof over their head and food, if I have the time to do that and show love, yes, I will do that.” As of now, neither Akon nor his representatives have released an official statement regarding the divorce. The filings trigger a legal and emotional separation after nearly 29 years of marriage, with the divorce set to usher in a new chapter for both parties.

Entertainment In the early hours of Friday, at about 4:30 AM, two shots were reportedly fired outside the residence of Bollywood actress Disha Patani, located in Civil Lines, Bareilly. The firing was reportedly an aerial discharge; no one was injured during the incident. Shots fired outside Disha Patani’s UP house, Goldy Brar claims responsibility Authorities believe the shots were fired in response to alleged comments made by Disha Patani concerning Hindu spiritual leaders Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj. A group affiliated with Goldy Brar has claimed responsibility for the firing. Senior Superintendent of Police, Bareilly, Anurag Arya, told India Today, “Immediately, the local police and a team from the Special Operations Group (SOG) reached the house and began the investigation. At least five teams have been formed to apprehend the accused. An adequate number of security personnel have been deployed at Patani’s home to ensure the safety of the family members.” A social media post (in Hindi) surfaced shortly after the incident, naming two individuals Virendra Charan (of Rohit Godara Group) and Mahendra Saran as perpetrators. The message translated in English read, “Jai Shri Ram, Ram Ram to all brothers. I, Virendra Charan, Mahendra Saran (Delana). Brothers, today, the firing that happened at Khushboo Patani/Disha Patani’s (Bollywood actress) house (Villa No. 40, Civil Lines, Bareilly, UP). We got it done. She insulted our revered saints (Premanand Ji Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Ji Maharaj). She tried to demean our Sanatan Dharma. The insult of our deities will not be tolerated. This was just a trailer. Next time, if she or anyone else shows disrespect towards our religion, then no one in their house will be left alive. This message is not just for her, but also for all the artists of the film industry and those associated with them. Whoever in the future commits such an insulting act against our religion and saints should be ready to face the consequences. To protect our religion, we are ready to go to any extent. We will never back down. For us, our religion and society are one, and protecting them is our first duty.” Police have not yet verified the authenticity of the social media post. Meanwhile, the investigation continues. Though Disha Patani and her sister Khushboo Patani had earlier criticised spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya for his remarks on women and live-in relationships, the connection between those comments and this attack is under scrutiny.

Entertainment Aamir Khan Productions’ next romantic drama, Mere Raho, starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, has been locked for a theatrical release on December 12, 2025. The film is directed by Sunil Pandey and produced by Mansoor Khan along with Aamir Khan. Aamir Khan Productions’ Mere Raho with Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi to release on December 12, 2025 The announcement has put an end to earlier speculation around the project. Previously, it was reported that the film carried the working title Ek Din. There were also strong reports that the film would arrive on November 7, 2025, clashing with Ikkis, which marks the big-screen debut of Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, Agastya Nanda. Set against the backdrop of the picturesque Japanese winters, Mere Raho has been one of the most-awaited projects from Aamir Khan Productions. The film captures the famous Snow Festival of Sapporo, Japan, and large portions were shot in early 2024. Despite facing hurdles in the initial schedule due to heavy, unexpected snowfall, the cast and crew managed to push through. Thanks to their persistence, the shoot picked up momentum, and the project is now on track for its big-screen rollout. For Junaid Khan, this will be his third acting project and second theatrical release. He made his acting debut with Yash Raj Films’ Maharaj on OTT, which was met with a positive response. However, his first big-screen outing, Loveyapa, received a lukewarm reception. Mere Raho is expected to give the young actor another opportunity to establish himself, especially with Sai Pallavi, one of the most acclaimed actresses in Indian cinema, as his co-star. The release date positions Mere Raho in a competitive December window. It will arrive just a week after Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar and Vishal Bhardwaj’s untitled film starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri.

Entertainment Nehal Chudasama has been getting backlash for accusing Amaal Mallik of getting inappropriately physical with her. Reacting to the backlash, the actress’s team has issued a clarification for what might be the possible reason for the same. Here’s what her team had to say about it. By: Toshani  |  Published: September 13, 2025 4:34 PM IST Actor-model and Bigg Boss contestant Nehal Chudasama has been getting a lot of backlash for accusing Amaal Mallik of inappropriately touching her during a task. For the unversed, there was a recent task in Bigg Boss where contestants had to erase the blackboard of the opponent team for a task. During the task, there was a lot of chaos, and in between that upheaval, Nehal accused the music composer of the same. The singer was visibly shocked because of the accusation and apologized endlessly, even joining his hands at one point. The house members soon took his stand and said that whatever happened was in the heat of the moment, and there was no ill intention that Amaal had. Soon, the internet followed, and people started criticizing Nehal for the same. Now, Nehal’s team has released an official statement as to what might be the possible reason for her reacting that way. What did her team say? Nehal’s team took to her Instagram stories and posted a clarification statement, stating the possible reason for a reaction like that. The statement read, “During the task, there was a moment when things became a little physical between Nehal and Amaal. We want to stress that there was no intention from Nehal to blame or accuse anyone at that moment. What followed was triggered by something from her past trauma that she carries and that she does not always control. In that fraction of a second, those old wounds resurfaced, leading to a reaction.” The story continued, “When Amaal came forward to apologize, Nehal’s words were always, ‘It’s not about you.’ She wanted him to know that the reaction was not a reflection on him as a person but on those old, painful echoes that she is still learning to heal from. It was a weak moment. A human moment. But more than that, a reminder that trauma remains, even when one works hard to overcome it.” “Nehal has always been, and will continue to be, a woman of courage. She has opened up publicly before about having survived assault and about how she believes in standing up for herself and for what is right. Her journey is not defined by the moments she is triggered but by the many moments she reaches for her own light anyway. We hope people will see beyond the trolls,” they said, humanizing the actress. What was Nehal’s story? In March 2025, Nehal had opened up about being assaulted by someone that she had known for the past 2 years. She revealed that the incident took place in February 2025 and that the person has been arrested by the Mumbai police. She revealed that on February 16th, she was physically assaulted. She revealed the details about her arm and wrist being twisted and being slapped. She was then held and thrown, because of which she had bruises on her body. The actress was also threatened to get run over by her abuser’s car. She continued her story by saying that the “40-year-old super-built man” had damaged the front doors of her car and hurled abuses at the top of his lungs at her. She also revealed that she had known the man for 2 years. “I was being stalked in public places & mentally tortured in innumerable ways over the past few months. My stern but polite expression to stop doing this provoked the guy to verbally abuse & physically assault me like a monster,” she said. Her team referred to this incident, describing it as a potential reason as to why Nehal reacted the way she did. Her team made it clear that Nehal did not mean to accuse anyone and just had an involuntary reaction. Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates. Subscribe to Our Newsletter Today! Read More
