The siblings, Jainam and Jivika, have announced that they acquired the JioHotstar domain to “support a young software developer from Delhi.” Now, it seems to have been sold to two children in Dubai reportedly by the Delhi-based app developer reportedly. Earlier, an app developer had purchased the domain in 2023, anticipating a merger between the streaming services JioCinema and Hotstar.
