Gauri Khan's Torii has a 'secret door' for Shah Rukh Khan's family; AbRam's go-to order is..., SRK's favourite dish is...
When you're part of Bollywood royalty, glitz and glamour come with an unavoidable spotlight — and sometimes, the desperate need to escape it. That's where Gauri Khan's much-buzzed-about Mumbai restaurant Torii offers more than just its upscale Japanese-Asian cuisine. It hides something else too — a secret. Gauri Khan's Torii has a secret door
In an exclusive interview with The Indian Express, Torii's head chef Stefan Gadit confirmed a long-speculated rumour: the restaurant indeed has a secret entryway. But don't expect to waltz through it unless your last name is Khan.
'Not everybody has access to the secret doorway — it's for the Khans,' Gadit revealed.
The discreet entrance offers the Khan family — Shah Rukh, Gauri, and their children Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam — a rare escape from paparazzi, letting them enjoy meals without a media frenzy. Head chef reveals AbRam's go-to order, Shah Rukh's fave dish
The Khan family doesn't just step in quietly — they have their favourites firmly marked on the menu. According to Gadit, AbRam is especially fond of Torii's sushi, and often places orders even when he can't visit. Suhana, too, has been spotted enjoying evenings at the restaurant with her friends.
Aryan Khan, while more low-key, is said to be a regular as well. The family's collective presence is so natural at the venue, it even served as the celebration spot for Shah Rukh Khan's manager Pooja Dadlani's anniversary.
As for King Khan himself? He's not immune to Torii's charm either. 'Shah Rukh has enjoyed the lamb chops we serve here — that's his usual order,' Gadit shared. A hotspot for the Bollywood elite
With its moody interiors, sleek design (helmed by Gauri herself), and now a secret door straight out of a movie plot, Torii has become more than just another celebrity-owned restaurant — it's a hideaway. It's even made cameo appearances in Netflix's Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives.
In a city where the cameras rarely stop clicking, the Khans have carved out a quiet luxury — a place to dine, unwind, and do it all away from the noise.

Last Updated: R Madhavan and his wife Sarita rented their Mumbai flat for Rs 6.5 lakh a month. The 24-month lease includes a 5 per cent rent hike in the second year. Actor R Madhavan and his wife Sarita have rented out their luxury flat in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) for Rs 6.5 lakh a month. The flat is located in Signia Pearl and was bought by the couple in July 2024 for Rs 17.5 crore. The apartment is quite spacious, measuring 388.55 square metres which is around 4,182 square feet. According to documents accessed via the rental agreement was registered in June 2025. The lease is for 24 months, with a lock-in period of 16 months. In the second year, the rent will go up by 5 per cent, which means the tenant will pay Rs 6.83 lakh per month. Over the full two-year term, the total rent will be around Rs 1.6 crore. The deal also includes a security deposit of Rs 39 lakh. A stamp duty of Rs 47,000 and a registration fee of Rs 1,000 were paid to register the agreement. Based on the rent, the apartment is giving the couple a gross rental yield of about 4.5 per cent in the first year, and 4.7 per cent in the second. Meanwhile, on the film front, Madhavan has a cameo in Maa, starring Kajol. He will also be seen in the romantic drama Aap Jaisa Koi with Fatima Sana Shaikh, which will release on Netflix in July 2025. It tells the story of two very different characters, Shrirenu Tripathi and Madhu Bose. According to reports, he will also be seen in SS Rajamouli's upcoming film SSMB29. Madhavan is said to be playing a strong, important role in this Rs 1,000 crore epic. Notably, the makers haven't officially confirmed it yet. SSMB29 also features Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran. This will be the first time Madhavan is teaming up with SS Rajamouli, the director behind hits like Baahubali and RRR. SSMB29 stars Priyanka Chopra and Mahesh Babu in the lead. The music will be composed by M.M. Keeravani. R Madhavan's last film was Kesari Chapter 2, where he appeared alongside Akshay Kumar and Ananya Panday. First Published:

Dokii Dokii in Hyderabad serves Asian fusion food
A kitten chasing a heart is the theme of this new casual eatery in Jubilee Hills — animation in static frames, playful but not precious. Tired of hearing about the biggest new openings in Hyderabad? Dokii Dokii is where you go to chill with friends. No dress code, no cutlery pressure — sit however you like, even Uncle Roger-style (yes, the haiyaa guy). Dokii Dokii opened in May this year with a fresh look. Two colours dominate this eatery: Red and blue. This spacious eatery overlooks a garden, this makes all the difference. Dokii Dokii (or DD) serves Asian fusion fare — without claims of authenticity. As the team behind Hashi-Asian Bar & Kicthen, they have brought along signatures like sushi and dim sum, but the mood here is more relaxed. The name is a play on doki doki, a Japanese onomatopoeia for a racing heartbeat. The laid-back vibe felt like an invitation to begin lunch with a drink. The menu lists boba teas and a range of zero-alcohol cocktails. I have always meant to try a sober cocktail, and finally did: the Sober Gin Garden Party, made with elderflower and cucumber, topped with a passionfruit foam. The botanicals in the zero-gin are convincing — you will not miss the alcohol unless hangovers are your morning ritual. This one gets the nod. I skipped the sushi, dim sum, cheesy K-pop (golden potato bites with gooey mozzarella and tangy kimchi), and chilli crunch potatoes (crispy fries in Sichuan pepper sauce), and instead listed two other appetisers for lunch: the Midori Frost and the Burrata Snow. The Burrata Snow is DD's self-proclaimed couture salad — creamy burrata on a bed of rocket, topped with tomato 'snow', which is essentially a tomato-flavoured ice gola. It is a clever, crowd-pleasing dish. Then came the Bangkok to Busan Fries, an Asian-style take served with garlic-lime mayo. The fries come in three options — spicy buldak, Chinese five-spice, and Thai basil. I went with the buldak — spicy with a hit of garlic. The Midori Frost is paper-thin green apple slices in a citrus dressing, topped with lemon sorbet. Crisp, clean, and vaguely magical — a refreshing contrast to the richer dishes. DD also offers Seoul pickles, their version of assorted banchan — Korean-style side pickles. A tad too sour perhaps, but thankfully not ketchup-pickled vegetarian fare. The sides had me full, but I still made space for the kimchi chicken fried rice. At this point I thought I should also try the Ramen that came with the perfect jammy egg. What didn't work with me are the Korean fried wings. I found it too salty. A meal for two at Dokii Dokii in Jubilee Hills is approximately 2000(plus taxes?)

Ju Haknyeon controversy: Kirara Asuka speaks out against 'misinformation' over meeting ex-THE BOYZ member
Ex-THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon and former Japanese AV actress Kirara Asuka are currently all over the internet due to their secret meet-up getting exposed. They were seen being visibly cuddly during and a K-media report even alleged that they engaged in pr*stitution. The information, which the parties involved claimed to be false, spread like wildfire on social media. On June 20, Kirara Asuka finally responded to the allegations. Kirara Asuka denies involvement in pr*stitution with Ju Haknyeon Kirara Asuka finally presented her side of the story in the ongoing narrative surrounding her being involved in pr*stitution with Ju Haknyeon. The Japanese p*rnstar-turned-influencer took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to deny the allegations, calling them false rumors. She wrote, "There is a lot of speculation going around, but we have yet to see an article from Shūkan Bunshun [Japanese weekly tabloid]. Please do not spread misinformation." Shūkan Bunshun was the media outlet that claimed to have obtained photos of Kirara Asuka and the former THE BOYZ member, displaying affectionate behavior. The photos were from their meeting at a private bar in Tokyo's Roppongi district on May 29, along with a few other acquaintances. Addressing that, the accused said that it was another woman present there who actually took the photos and "sold it to Bunshun." As per Kirara Asuka, the woman did so because she apparently liked Ju Haknyeon when she saw him at the bar. That was the beginning of the entire scandal, which ultimately led to the unilateral removal of Ju Haknyeon from THE BOYZ by their agency, ONE HUNDRED. Regarding engaging in intimate acts with the K-pop artist, she stated, "I have never in my life engaged in a paid sexual act (prostitution) in private. Of course, this is one of those times [when such allegations were made]." Fans appreciated her being brave enough to speak up and showed their trust in her. They also sympathized with her for being dragged into such an unwanted situation, where her past and private life were being digged up. They asked her to stay strong and face the situation head-on.
