I will ask my wife about it,” he said, hinting that the news may have emerged without his awareness. His calm, jovial but firm response has added another layer of curiosity to the unfolding story.

Within Bengaluru’s buzzing circles, the issue has quickly become a talking point, not only about the private lives of celebrities but also about how quickly speculation spreads in the age of social media. Fans remain hopeful that the couple can resolve matters privately without public glare.
