Former model Katie Price dragged herself to court this week after she missed several court hearings for her bankruptcy case. Despite her history of missing court dates, the judge dismissed the hearing considering the British media personality’s request for a private hearing of the case, citing mental health issues. 

On Tuesday, August 27, the 46-year-old model was due to appear at the High Court to provide documents and answers for her 760,000 pounds tax debt after being declared bankrupt in March. Her attorney, Bertie Boer-Roberts asked for the court drama to be held behind closed doors to protect Price from media scrutiny and “mental well-being.” The attorney said, “Her condition would be exacerbated by public examination.”

The judge complied with Katie Price’s requests and approved a private hearing for a date next month, per The Sun. Chief Insolvency Judge Nicholas Briggs, however, warned the mother of five of missing any future dates and instructed her to submit requested documents a week before the court hearing to avoid arrest. 

“You have to attend that date, no ifs or buts, no holidays, no going abroad, you have to attend that date,” the judge warned. Price, who was married to ex-Alex Reid from 2010 to 2012, is now scheduled for a court hearing on September 24 where she will have to explain her financial woes and decipher her income streams in front of the court. 

The ex-model had previously skipped multiple case hearings that forced the court to issue an arrest warrant in July. Katie’s disregard for the bankruptcy case showed when she flew off to Turkey to get a facelift complete with a glam makeover, that reportedly cost her around 10,000 pounds. She was detained at Heathrow Airport the moment she set foot in the country and landed in court the next morning on August 8.

Farhan Akhtar was born to Javed Akhtar and Honey Irani. Although both his parents belong to different religions, the actor-filmmaker is seen celebrating all Indian festivals with much pomp and enthusiasm. However, recently, he revealed that his father raised him without any religion. 

While talking to Faye D’Souza on her YouTube channel, Farhan Akhtar stated that he was brought up to question everything. Sharing his two cents and faith and religion, he stated that when someone is raised without a religion, they automatically question everything. Even though his parents, majorly his father, didn’t ever tell them not to don’t believe in God, they just imbibed what we saw. “It was more about questioning things and trying to apply logic, rationale, or scientific evidence to things,” the Bhaag Milkha Bhaag actor stated, adding that those things are important as they prove if something is a fact or a theory.

He also thinks that it’s strange how several people get comforted because of their faith. However, it is difficult for people who don’t have faith to be able to find that comfort. Having said that, Farhan also mentioned that over the years, they have celebrated all festivals with equal fanfare because they have fun with friends and family and get to eat and wear good things. According to him, festivals are more cultural thing than a religious thing. “It’s like you are celebrating a culture and that’s an amazing thing,” the playback singer divulged.

In the same interview, he also touched upon his divorce from his ex-wife, Adhuna Bhabani. He admitted that it was difficult. He thinks that a lot of it was because he lived with divorced parents when he was a kid. Since he knew how it felt, he didn’t want their daughters, Shakya and Akira, to go through it. “A huge part of me was like I cannot do this to my own kids,” Farhan Akhtar shared.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Farhan is busy with the shooting of his upcoming movie, Don 3. Unlike the last two installments, the third one won’t feature Shah Rukh Khan. In fact, Ranveer Singh will be playing the lead role.
