Actor Feroze Khan is once again in the news, this time over an Instagram story that appeared on his account late last night. The since-deleted post read more like a confessional letter than a casual update, hinting at marital discord, blackmail, and psychological distress, only for Khan to delete it later and say his account had been hacked.

The story, which remained up long enough to make rounds on the internet, accused Khan’s second wife, Dr Zainab Feroze, of coercion. It alleged he was being “forced and blackmailed to be in a relationship” and claimed he was pressured into distancing himself from his mother and children. Khan later posted a brief follow-up story – “Was hacked!”.

This isn’t the first time Khan’s personal life has spilt into public view. The actor was previously married to Aliza Sultan, who accused him of domestic violence before their tumultuous divorce in 2022.
