This incident highlights common mix-ups in celebrity reporting. Khan, married to Natasha Madhvani, is actively rebuilding his film career with upcoming projects like ‘Raja Shivaji’. A recent public appearance by Fardeen Khan became a talking point after paparazzi misidentified the woman accompanying him. As videos circulated online, the actor was quick to step in and clear the air, revealing that the woman in question was not his wife but his sister, Laila Khan.

On many handles, you people keep writing that she is my wife.)
