Bollywood reacts to Ek Ladki Ko Dekha, Bollywood’s first same-sex love story written by a trans-woman, gay directors rejoice Bollywood reacts to Ek Ladki Ko Dekha, Bollywood’s first same-sex love story written by a trans-woman, gay directors rejoice All eyes are on the lovely Sonam Kapoor as she graces the screen this Friday in debutante director Shelly Chopra Dhar’s Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga as a beautiful happy-go-lucky highly eligible girl from a conservative family who has a deep dark secret. She is in love with someone of her own gender. This is the first time a mainstream actress is playing a lesbian character. Shabana Azmi who played a lesbian in Deepa Mehta’s Fire thinks it’s a healthy time for gender exploration. “And Sonam, who’s like my own daughter, has constantly sought out roles that challenge the status quo.” Adds filmmaker Onir, “I think it’s wonderful that’s someone like Sonam who comes from Mainstream cinema space is doing a lesbian character. Sonam has always been forthright in supporting the LGBTQ movement. Hope male actors from mainstream are inspired by her. I am looking forward to seeing the film.” Interestingly Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is written by a trans-woman Gazal Dhaliwal who has based the plot on her own experiences. Gay editor-writer-director Apurva Asrani is miffed that Ghazal’s contribution to the film is not being satisfactorily highlighted in the publicity and marketing. Says Apurva, “One will have to wait and watch. Right now I have seen a heterosexual shaadi song to promote the film and a campaign where men are talking about their lady loves with the hashtag Ek Ladki Ko dekha toh. None of the marketing is skewed in the direction of the LGBTQ community. In fact they haven't even talked about the fact that the writer of the film Ghazal is a trans-woman. So let's see if Sonam is actually playing a lesbian woman.” Also Read: Sonam Kapoor – Anil Kapoor starrer Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga will not release in the UAE this weekend http://bit.ly/2S3wygo

“Ekta Kapoor was totally ready for motherhood,” says Tusshar Kapoor “Ekta Kapoor was totally ready for motherhood,” says Tusshar Kapoor Ekta Kapoor’s motherhood by surrogacy has taken even her closest friends by surprise. Apparently Ekta had not confided in anyone except her brother Tusshar Kapoor and her closest friend Karan Johar. “Besides these two (Tusshar and Karan Johar) only her parents knew about it. Ekta was superstitious about motherhood. Until the surrogate child (a baby boy) came home she wanted to keep it all under wraps,” says the source.   The yearning for mother hood had started gathering momentum after Ekta’s brother Tusshar brought home a baby boy via surrogacy. “In no time at all Tusshar’s son Laksshya became the apple of Ekta’s eye. She couldn’t tear herself away from the child. This is when she decided she would have her own baby. When she expressed her wish to her parents they were all for it,” says the source. Interestingly Ekta’s closest friend Karan Johar also opted for surrogate motherhood recently. Also Read: CONGRATULATIONS!

Fatima Sana Shaikh on Aamir Khan AFFAIR rumours: ‘l'd feel BAD, didn't want people to assume’ Fatima Sana Shaikh on Aamir Khan AFFAIR rumours: ‘l'd feel BAD, didn't want people to assume’ Fatima Sana Shaikh's last movie Thugs Of Hindostan failed at the box office and that led her to be a discussion point recently. More than her movie, she was asked about her link up with Aamir Khan. Fatima never shied away from talking about it and always claimed that Aamir has been a mentor to her and she has also been close with his family. In her recent interview with Filmfare she admitted that she felt very bad that people assumed that she is a bad person. She told the magazine, “Earlier, I used to get affected. I’d feel bad. Because I’ve never dealt with anything of this sort at such a big level. A bunch of strangers, whom I’ve never met, are writing things about me. They don’t even know if there’s any truth to it. People reading it assume that I’m ‘not a good person’. You feel like telling that person, ‘Ask me, I’ll give you an answer’. She added, “It disturbs me because I don’t want people to assume wrong things. Agar main asliyat mein haraami hoon toh people should see my asliyat. But if I’m not, I don’t want them to see me as a bad person. But I’ve learnt to ignore it. Yet, there are some days when I do get affected.” On work front, Fatima will be seen in Anurag Basu's next which also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao.

When Mahesh Bhatt found his real life Tamanna that inspired him to direct the Pooja Bhatt starrer When Mahesh Bhatt found his real life Tamanna that inspired him to direct the Pooja Bhatt starrer National award winning film Tamanna was one of those unconventional pieces directed by Mahesh Bhatt that brought forth many social issues.

Mahesh Bhatt had come across this eunuch and had made the film as an ode. Produced by Pooja Bhatt, the unconventional film went on to win National Award in 1998. Moreover, the Bhatts also donated the earnings of their film Tamanna to the real life Tikku for the upbringing of Tamanna. And now years later, Mahesh Bhatt couldn’t control his emotions when he met Tamanna [who is now a woman] at Khalsa College. Mahesh Bhatt attended an event named ‘Equality Quest With Bhatt Saab’ which dealt with social issues as well as his contribution to cinema. The filmmaker was more than happy to meet Tamanna and held his hands with respect. “I was hit by a tsunami of love. Thank u #KhalsaCollege. It’s a morning that I will never forget,” added the prolific filmmaker. I was hit by a tsunami of love. Thank u #KhalsaCollege. It’s a morning that I will never forget. ???????????? https://t.co/Onvc7Zgi2m — Mahesh Bhatt (@MaheshNBhatt) January 29, 2019 And not just him, Pooja Bhatt who turned producer for this film and also starred in the lead role, too tweeted about the emotions of her father and what she felt when she witnessed the moment on the video. “My father this morning at a truly special & moving event at #KhalsaCollege with #Tamanna the woman whose life ensured I turned into a producer & also won me my first national award.

ME TOO: Sonam Kapoor trolled for SUPPORTING Rajkumar Hirani in the SEXUAL HARASSMENT case ME TOO: Sonam Kapoor trolled for SUPPORTING Rajkumar Hirani in the SEXUAL HARASSMENT case Sonam Kapoor has been a close friend of Rajkumar Hirani and was even a part of his last directorial, Sanju. She played the role of Ruby which was a crucial part in the film. Sanju has been in the news even after its release for various reasons and one of the recent ones being Rajkumar Hirani’s sexual misconduct situation. An assistant director working on the movie sent an email to Vidhu Vinod Chopra accusing Hirani of sexually harassing her for a period of 6 months. She claimed that she faced all of this during the post production of the film. Many actors in the industry came ahead and stood in support of Rajkumar Hirani, while most decided to keep mum. The latest addition in line is Sonam Kapoor herself. The actress spoke about the #MeToo movement last year when it began in India and announced how she supported Tanushree Dutta and was sure of how Tanushree isn’t lying about it. But, when it came to Rajkumar Hirani, claimed, “what if the allegations aren’t true.” She went ahead and said that accusing Raju may cause the movement to “derail” and that he is a close friend of hers. Hence, she refuses to believe he would stoop so low. She refused to address the issue any further stating that her film Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is as important as the #MeToo movement. As expected, Sonam Kapoor was heavily trolled on Twitter for her contradicting statements. People criticized her stating that she supports the #MeToo movement when others are accused but not when her friends get accused. Check out some of the tweets.

Going back to school after years may seem intimidating to a lot of people, not Abhimanyu Dassani. Little did the Gen-X actor anticipate that his school faculty would invite him again years after he passed out, to be the Chief Guest at their annual function? Abhimanyu took a trip down memory lane and visited his school in Mumbai. He met up with the students and the entire faculty of the school, especially his teacher who invited him and took him on a short tour of the school.

The talented actor, who is eagerly awaiting the release of his debut film, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota (MKDNH), was quite happy to attend his school’s annual function ‘Fiesta’ as a Chief Guest. A source informs, “Since Abhimanyu has set on his new journey as an actor, his school teacher personally invited him to be part of the function. He visited the stalls at the fest and interacted with the kids and showed some martial art moves from his debut film.” Hailing from a film family, Abhimanyu will be seen making his acting debut alongside Radhika Madan in Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota (MKDNH), directed by Vasan Bala and produced by Ronnie Screvwala. Abhimanyu is credited to be the first Bollywood actor whose debut film was selected for the World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2018. It was also the opening film of MAMI Film Festival. MKDNH also happens to be the first Indian film to be screened in the Midnight Madness Section of the festival (considered as one of the most popular segments of the festival) where movies in action, horror, thriller and fantasy genre are placed and also won the People's Choice Midnight Madness section award. The actor also won his first ever Best Debutant award at the Macau Film Festival.

THROWBACK THURSDAY - Anushka Sharma and M S Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Dhoni are classmates and here’s proof! THROWBACK THURSDAY - Anushka Sharma and M S Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Dhoni are classmates and here’s proof! We all know that Anushka Sharma and Sakshi Dhoni have one thing in common – cricketer husbands. But it seems that they have things that are more common than that! In fact, they are childhood friends and are even school mates. While Anushka Sharma confessed being Sakshi’s friend earlier in an interview, here are a few pictures which will definitely proof it! And not just that! The pictures that have made ample rounds on social media also show that the two ladies were in touch with each other even after school. Although all of these were a thing of past before the two of them became famous, some memories are always nostalgic and this seems to be one of them. Amongst the pictures that have been shared by Anushka Sharma and Sakshi Dhoni fan clubs, two pictures feature them during their school days. The two of them studied at St. Mary’s School Margherita in Assam and we also found a class photo of the two of them from the First Standard. It seems that Anushka's dad was posted in Assam for a while and that's when the actress went to St. Mary. The next picture was taken when the students participated in a school function. The picture features Anushka Sharma dressed as an angel whereas Sakshi was dressed up in a pink ghagra. If reports are to be believed, Anushka had earlier spoken about her friendship with Sakshi, when the two reunited after a long time. While they weren’t aware that they were school mates initially, it seems that the two eventually found that they lived in the same small town of Assam and were in the same school. This Throwback Thursday, we decided to take you through the journey of Anushka Sharma and Sakshi Dhoni, who are now married to popular Indian skippers Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni respectively.

EXCLUSIVE: “I didn’t want to fall in love and get emotional about someone!” - Anil Kapoor EXCLUSIVE: “I didn’t want to fall in love and get emotional about someone!” - Anil Kapoor Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor have been together for 45 years and married for almost 35 years (they complete 35 years in May this year) have the perfect marriage. Yet the super tells us that he didn’t believe in love when he met Sunita and for a long time refused to admit he was in love with her. In a candid chat, (as he says, he speaks from the heart always), Anil talks about his views of love have changed over the years, his children, Sonam, Rhea and Harshvardhan Kapoor and why he married Sunita… Love is something that shapes our lives. How did it change yours? In real life, to be very honest, when I was a teenager and in school, I didn’t believe in love at all. I would tell my friends that it was all fun and games and what was this emotion called love? I didn’t want to fall in love and get emotional about someone… I am not cut out for it. It was not me and I could never fall in love. I was that kind of a teenager who didn’t believe in love. We were not that grown up to go on dates but I really believed that I can never fall in love. And then obviously, I became friendly with Sunita and we were friends for quite some time but still I was denying the emotion called love. First, we were friends and then we started dating each other. But even then I would think, no, I am not the kind of person who can fall in love and then slowly I don’t know how it happened and I fell in love with her… Love just happens, yaar… Kaise ho jaata hai woh pata hi nahi chalta but I was adamant against the notion of love and trying my best to never ever to fall in love. I must have done everything possible to not fall in love. When did you realise you were in love with Sunita? Something starts happening inside you when you start missing that person, miss being with that person, hearing her voice, talking to that person and slowly you realise that she is someone you can’t do without… I don’t know how it happens. But even after all those things I was still trying to get away saying it’s not me, I can’t fall in love, I can’t have a serious relationship, I can’t commit myself, kept on postponing it and convincing myself it wasn’t love – thus making life miserable for both our families. My friends would tell me, ‘ultimately tu shaadi Sunita se hi karega’ and I would say ‘Impossible! Sawal hi nahi uthta! I am a bindaas guy.’ I can be friends with many people and I have been friendly mostly with girls but with Sunita, love just happened and she’s the person I must get married to. From then to now has your idea of love changed? Oh yes! I would have committed the biggest blunder of my life if I had not listened to my heart more than my mind and not given in. Mind was saying no but my heart was saying yes but thank God, in all my life I have always gone with my heart and fortunately, with Sunita too when I did so and got married, we are together now for 45 years. And as much in love with each other, as you were then… Absolutely! You and Sunita have what is known as the perfect marriage. I don’t think you can call anything perfect. I don’t believe in perfection. You have to compromise, learn, adjust, give in, compromise and it’s also about give and take in a marriage. I have my own imperfections which I can be better and be corrected for so it’s more for myself. It’s a constant change and growth for the two persons bound together by a beautiful bond. You have to try your best to make it perfect but it will never be so you have to adjust and I think, that’s what life is – in friendship, work, profession and relationships with your family and colleagues. If there was anything that you didn’t approve of that your children did or didn’t do, how would you react? Every child cannot be like you. You cannot expect people to be like you. Everybody is an individual and that’s what my wife always tells me. My children have their own personality, own journey, dos and don’ts and pluses and minuses so we must let them be. It becomes difficult sometimes as you want them to be the way you are but it’s not possible. They will be themselves and make their own path personally and professionally. You cannot change anybody’s naseeb or destiny. What is yours you will get. You have to do your best as a parent and if the children healthy, obedient, well-behaved and honest and all my children have those qualities so I am very happy with them. Please continue… My family and I are very open with each other. There are some things that my children share completely with me and some that they share with their mother so it’s a correct balance. While I do believe in God, I also believe there is only one religion and that is of humanity. I go to churches, mosques and temples. All my childhood I would visit churches and when I visit these beautiful countries abroad, like I was in Istanbul and Abu Dhabi, I visit their religious shrines like I visit the temples in Varanasi. I love visiting all the shrines of every religion. I have friends from every religion. Among your children, Sonam, Harshvardhan and Rhea, who is the closest to you in terms of your personality and behaviour? Aisa kuch nahi. There are no permanent faves or who is closest to me or Sunita in our home. We are parents and children also – all five of us. Sometimes Harsh, Rhea and Sonam behave like our parents and sometimes Sunita or I are like parents or become like kids. It’s that kind of a relationship and atmosphere in our house we share and all have. May favorites keep on changing - on some days, Sonam, another day Harsh and next day it could be Rhea. Sometimes, Sunita is my favorite. Sometimes four of us gang up on one team poking fun about the other person. Were you disappointed with Race 3? Not at all. I am not delusional but I had a great time shooting the film. Whenever we meet we meet with happiness. We had a wonderful time and everybody made money on the movie – from the producers to the exhibitors. I know about the rest but whoever who was in touch with me has made money. It’s done over Rs. 300 cr worldwide in theatricals. Which film in today’s times does this? And 100 per cent there will be another film on the same franchise! I was reading Michael Caine’s book… What happens is that certain films you do is not only about numbers and what did or didn’t live up to the expected numbers. There are so many other positive factors attached to a film – the people you work with, the friends you make, the countries you travel, the money you have made on the film, how much you have learned from the movie so there were lots of positives in Race 3… My character was appreciated by everyone and got positive reviews. The reactions were fantastic! You are always in a very happy and cheerful frame of mind – full of positivity. How do you achieve that? Even I face tough days sometimes, like right now I am suffering from a stiff shoulder which is very painful, but in the morning, you have to get up and push yourself to do your best. On those days I wake up, go for my workouts and start my day. These days I have started sprinting and spinning too – stuff I couldn’t do earlier because of my painful ankle. But now after it’s healed completely, I started sprinting again which I had stopped 15 years ago. Zindagi mein kuch na kuch toh chalta rahega but you have to fight it and keep moving ahead!

When cult film songs became cult movie titles When cult film songs became cult movie titles Well-begun, goes the saying, is half done. Regardless of how Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga fares at the box-office, what is significant is that director and co-writer Shelly Chopra Dhar has got a perfect title for the theme of the film—of a  girl whose sexual preferences lie towards her own gender and her consequent struggle to make her own identity. It thus spins Javed Akhtar’s 1994 cult song on its head, where Anil Kapoor (incidentally shown as the father of the girl played by real-life daughter Sonam Kapoor here) contemplates on the girl (Manisha Koirala) he has fallen in love with in that film. What makes it even more interesting is that the earlier song is from 1942—A Love Story, a Vidhu Vinod Chopra film. Vidhu, Shelly’s brother, is also the producer here and as Shelly puts it, “A strong creative force.” So is it not extraordinary good luck that they had a song that encapsulates their story to perfection? “Absolutely!” replies Shelly. “The best thing is that it was not just a cult song in 1994 but also strikes a resonance with today’s youngsters.”  That perfect fit Here are four more examples of how cult songs (that is, one level higher than hit numbers) fit perfectly, by default or design, into new films that also reached their level. The mandatory ‘Conditions Apply’ here is that the song has to be a huge hit of its time and yet fits the new hit film like a glove. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge: It was left to actress Kirron Kher, wife of Anupam Kher who played hero Shah Rukh Khan’s father, to suddenly get and suggest the perfect title for Aditya Chopra’s 1995 all-time hit. So perfectly did this title fit the story here that the credit titles acknowledged her role. And which was the actual song? It was the Rajkavi Inderjeet Singh ‘Tulsi’ written 1974 chartbuster, ‘Le Jayenge Le Jayenge / Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’ from Chor Machaye Shor featuring Shashi Kapoor and Mumtaz. Koi…Mil Gaya: Sameer’s chartbuster hit from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) was the perfect solution to the title hiccups (if any) of the Rakesh Roshan blockbuster five years later. After all, India’s first A-grade film on an ‘alien’ (there was a B-grade 1960s film named Wahan Ke Log earlier that bombed) needed the perfect touch as the protagonists Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta suddenly stumble upon Jadoo, the alien who has lost his way and cannot go back to his planet as his spaceship has left in a hurry! This title also inspired a new and popular title-song written by Ibraheem Ashk in the 2003 mega-hit. And let’s face it; the film could not have been possibly named Alien, Jadoo, Wahan Ka Banda or anything else that would have been half as attractive, let alone fitting Roshan Sr.’s preference for titles beginning with ‘K’! Om Shanti Om: It was director Farah Khan’s ingenious (and dare we say naughty?) streak that fashioned a funky yet fabulously apt title for her 2007 reincarnation drama that merged Karz (1980) and Madhumati (1958) as the inspirations for her mega-entertainer. Taking inspiration from the cult Anand Bakshi song from the 1980 film, she designed the story of Om (Shah Rukh Khan), a junior artiste in films who falls in love with top star Shanti (Deepika Padukone). Om and Shanti are bumped off by the baddie, but a second Om, his doppelganger, returns as his reincarnation to wreak vengeance. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani: The audacities, crazy (Deewani) kinks and foibles of youth (Jawaani) led to the development of the plot in this Karan Johar production written and directed by Ayan Mukerji. As their individual and eccentric idiosyncrasies fuelled the turbulent romance of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, Anand Bakshi’s cult number from Ranbir’s uncle Randhir Kapoor’s 1972 hit Jawani Diwani became the perfect summary of this 2013 blockbuster.

Ayushmann Khurrana gets mobbed at midnight during Dream Girl shoot Ayushmann Khurrana gets mobbed at midnight during Dream Girl shoot Ayushmann Khurrana is the talk of the town lately. With four back to back blockbusters under his belt, he has established himself as one of the bankable actors of content cinema. His rising fandom was evident last night when he was shooting for his next titled Dream Girl at Film City in Mumbai. “Ayushmann has been shooting nights for the film and they have been shooting at real locations inside Goregaon film city every single day. The locals got to know about this and wanted to meet their favourite actor. At about midnight around 150 odd people visited Ayushmann and wanted to wish him well. Ayushmann has a policy that whenever his fans come to see him, he makes time no matter what. He told his security to inform them that he will finish the shot and meet them. He cut his meal time to ensure that he returns to the set on time also! He is also not a person to post every single experience on social media. He likes to keep his fan engagements very organic and spends quality time with them,” informs an eye-witness. Written and directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Dream Girl stars Nushrat Bharucha as the female lead. Produced by Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor and Aashish Singh, it is Ayushmann’s first collaboration with Balaji Motion Pictures.

“Vidya Balan brought positivity, Kangana Ranaut brought only NEGATIVITY on the sets” - Krish draws comparison between the two actresses he worked with recently “Vidya Balan brought positivity, Kangana Ranaut brought only NEGATIVITY on the sets” - Krish draws comparison between the two actresses he worked with recently The battle between Krish and Kangana Ranaut on who has directed more of the film seems to be getting more interesting than any of the battle scenes in the film. And the controversy refuses to settle down. While the actress/aspiring director herself is holidaying in Germany, her sister Rangoli has taken off on director Krish accusing him of trying to take mileage of the film after it’s a hit. “I could also say the same thing about Rangoli,” shot back Krish. “Isn’t she trying to take mileage of the film? I don’t need this kind of publicity. Nor do I need an endorsement of my abilities from either Kangana or her sister. Manikarnika is my ninth film. I’ve made lavish costume dramas in the past. I will make them again. But I am curious to know who will work with Kangana Ranaut after the kind of reputation she has acquired for undermining the director and taking over a project.” Krish says he’s done with claims on how much of the film he has shot. “Kangana’s sister decided Kangana has shot 70 percent of Manikarnika. Just how she came to that percentage I don’t know. She simply picked ‘70’ and took off from there. The entire team knows how much of the film I’ve shot. If she continues making these claims I’ll have to send her copies of my earlier films. I am not a novice to filmmaking.” Krish compares his experience of working with Kangana and Vidya Balan. “Both are very talented Bollywood actresses. But while one brings positivity and sunshine on the sets while the other brings gloom and anxiety on the sets whenever she appears.” Well-known Cinematographer Gnana Shekar has been accused of abandoning Manikarnika for another project. Gnana Shekar clarifies, “As far as I was concerned I completed all my work before I moved on to another commitment. Only some patchwork remained after I left. After that, what she (Kangana Ranaut) did and whom she shot with I’ve no idea.” Actor Atul Kulkarni who had a major role in the film until it was reduced to almost nothing, adds, “Our director Krish has spoken about it. I won’t like to talk about it.” Also Read: Apurva Asrani LASHES OUT at Kangana Ranaut for throwing director Krish out of Manikarnika, chopping off Sonu Sood scenes http://bit.ly/2Tmvr87

Shah Rukh Khan discusses his FEARS after Zero's FAILURE at the box office Shah Rukh Khan discusses his FEARS after Zero's FAILURE at the box office Shah Rukh Khan has been having a hard luck at the box office lately. His last movie Zero did not make the cut as a commercially viable film and also got written off by the critics. Moving on, that led him to rethink his film choices and so he pulled himself out of his next project, Saare Jahan Se Accha. SRK was supposed to play Rakesh Sharma, first Indian astronaut to go in space. But Zero's debacle made him cautious and he withdrew from the movie. While we are waiting for him to officially announce his next, SRK spoke about his fears in his recent interview. Shah Rukh Khan said that he is scared of the day when he would be too demotivated to take risks with the roles he chooses and will be trapped doing the same old mundane characters in boring films. He said that he does not want to wake up to a day where he is so tired to experiment that he would be stuck to doing regular films which get wrapped up in 40 days, earn a few bucks, buy a new car and move on to the same old routine. Shah Rukh has tried playing diverse characters in the last few years. He also experimented with directors and different scripts. From playing a dark and intense double role in Fan to getting into the skin of a vertically challenged man in Zero, he tried to do different things but yet commercial success seems to evade him. Shah Rukh Khan's last films: Zero, Jab Harry Met Sejal, Fan and Dilwale flopped at the box office. Only time will tell what Shah Rukh Khan will do next. Stay tuned.

The celebrities have returned to the show to promote their films. The latest celebs to come on the show were the cast of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. Amidst his busy shooting schedule, Kapil attended one event on the occasion of Republic Day at a school. He hoisted flag on Republic Day and also signed some autographs. He along with his new wife Ginni Chatrath visited Dalhousie Public School, Badhani, Punjab. Though he tasted success, he never forgot his roots. Kapil got married in a traditional style in Punjab and he kept the theme of his wedding very folksy. Moving on, he had organised a musical night at his place recently which was attended by singers like Mika Singh. Looks like Kapil now wants to give back to the society and therefore has been making more public appearances lately. Kapil Sharma took to social media to write, “Celebrating Republic Day with the lovely kids of Dalhousie Public School, Badhani, Punjab...” For the uninitiated, Kapil was on a yearlong break to recuperate from alcoholism and depression. He got engaged while facing the most challenging time in his life and told media that his partner was always with him, never leaving his side. This is what made him marry Ginni, who was his classmate in college back in Punjab. After a wedding ceremony and two receptions, both in Punjab and Mumbai, he is slated to host one reception in Delhi.

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Soha Ali Khan get SCOLDED by their husbands with regards to Taimur and Inaaya, here’s why! Kareena Kapoor Khan and Soha Ali Khan get SCOLDED by their husbands with regards to Taimur and Inaaya, here’s why! Kareena Kapoor Khan is all set and raring to go with her career. She set an amazing example by working through her pregnancy and immediately returning to the sets soon after that. She hit the gym soon after Taimur was born and has been giving us fitness goals since. Now, the actress will be seen in Takht and Good News. She has also dabbled in anchoring with her new radio show What Women Want. The latest celebrity to come to her show was her sister-in-law Soha Ali Khan. Kareena and Soha were seen discussing parenthood, especially celebrity parenthood. The two mothers connected over their kids and how they get papped almost everywhere. They also spoke about the need to give their kids a very normal childhood and they also accepted the challenges they face while doing the same. Soha revealed to Kareena that sometimes her husband and actor Kunal Kemmu gets a little annoyed with her for giving her baby too much attention and celebrating everything she does. She said that Kunal feels that need to sometimes withdraw and let Inaaya do her own thing without necessarily getting constant validation from her parents. Kareena said that Saif is the same. Apparently, the Nawab scolds Kareena for indulging Taimur a lot with constant attention as he feels that he should know how to entertain himself. Saif advocates letting Taimur be and do his own thing because it will be dangerous for him after he grows up with a need for constant attention. Kareena revealed that Saif sometimes tends to ignore work to be with his child. Taimur gets to frequent his parents’ movie sets. Yesterday too he was snapped at his Sacred Games 2 outdoor shoot.

10 years of Zoya Akhtar: How this new age director has made an incredible contribution to Bollywood 10 years of Zoya Akhtar: How this new age director has made an incredible contribution to Bollywood Ten years ago, on this day, a multi-starrer ensemble film released in cinemas. Usually, a film of such a cast would have broken records or would have been the talking point. But Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance wasn’t the usual film. Most of them had special appearances and the makers were kind enough to make it known and not cheat audiences. Moreover, this was the time when producers and multiplex owners used to be in tussle every week with regards to profit sharing and hence, one had to physically go to find out if the film has managed to release in their favourite multiplexes. I, too, had to do so and was fortunate to see this film had made it to cinemas! Frankly, I didn’t expect much. The trailer didn’t impress me much and I found Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Baawre’ song decent. It was Zoya’s brother Farhan Akhtar’s second film after his smashing debut in Rock On [2008]. And moreover, Farhan’s Excel Entertainment had backed it and this production house had achieved a reputation for their well-made, slice-of-life films. So, there was a bit of an excitement. But Luck By Chance blew me away, and millions of cinegoers. It was a well-written and more importantly, a well-made film. It didn’t seem like it was a debut film of a director! The film had multiple characters and the various tracks were neatly, and also sensitively, handled. She also managed to extract some fine performances from Farhan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Arjun Mathur etc. Isha Sharvani’s character could have gone wrong but she handled it well and the petite actress was exceptional. Luck By Chance was essentially a story of strugglers in the film industry and the choice of subject also was quite impressive, and unexpected. After all, she hails from a film family and though she has had her share of struggles, it was not as much as those who come to Mumbai with no backing and try their luck – the subject of her film. The film begins with the ‘Yeh Zindagi Bhi’ song, which was an ode to junior artistes, chorus singers, technicians, security guards of film studios, staffers in projector room etc. This song itself proves that Zoya is one of the finest filmmakers of our times! Sadly, Luck By Chance was too niche and urban. It got wonderful reviews but audiences on the whole didn’t support the film much and as a result, it was a flop venture at the box office. Her next film came in 2011 – Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara – and this one turned out to be a multi-starrer in its truest sense. It was a rare three-hero film, featuring brother Farhan Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol. The female cast comprised of Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin. This was a road-trip film of three friends going to Spain before one of them gets hitched. A section of viewers and critics criticized the film for being ‘elite’ and showing the problems of the first world! But thankfully, audiences on the whole could understand what the film was trying to say and its underlying message. Also, it didn’t become preachy and whenever the need arose, it was neatly presented in the form of poems, narrated beautifully by Farhan Akhtar. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara had humour, music and thrill in adequate doses. It was a clean buddy film, giving viewers a déjà vu of Farhan Akhtar’s much loved directorial debut, Dil Chahta Hai [2001]. I remember enjoying Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara thoroughly but was worried of its box office prospects. Fortunately, it was a huge success and managed to cross the Rs. 90 crore mark, a feat for a 2011 movie. This success was important or else Zoya would have been dubbed as a director who only gets critical success. But she got the numbers and was promoted to the big league. For her third outing, Zoya Akhtar pushed the envelope further in terms of number of actors and got almost half a dozen popular performers. Dil Dhadakne Do [2015] starred Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Anushka Sharma, Farhan Akthar and Rahul Bose. Vikrant Massey, who’ll be now seen opposite Deepika Padukone, also had a crucial role. This was once again the so-called ‘film for the rich’ as it was about a dysfunctional family going on a cruise and the madness that ensues there. This film did get a little preachy as the sutradhar made some striking observations and doled out ‘gyaan’. Yet, audiences didn’t mind as Zoya, in a brilliant move, made a dog the narrator! Moreover, it was voiced by Aamir Khan and it just added to the film’s charm! Despite having some amazing moments and peppy and lovely songs, the film got mixed response and it reflected in its collections. Thankfully, it was not a Flop venture. Zoya Akhtar is now back with Gully Boy, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in leading roles. Her critics will be happy as this time the film is not set on a ship or some European country but in the alleys of Mumbai. It tells the story of a rapper in a slum, inspired from the lives of popular performers Divine and Naezy. The trailer is very interesting, and it shows that Zoya has done her research well and understands the milieu and the strata of the characters. And this is also one of the beautiful aspects of Zoya’s storytelling. When she takes up a subject, she doesn’t take a superficial approach to it. She dives into that world, as if she was always a part of it. She made Luck By Chance as if she herself faced all the issues faced by actors with no Godfather and backing. She handled Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, a tale of three guys and their dilemmas, and not once it seemed like it should have been directed by a ‘male director’. Dil Dhadakne Do arguably was a bit in the Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara space but when one scratches the surface, one realizes it was vastly different. In fact all four films are so diverse in so many respects and it’s unbelievable that all of them were made by the same person. Besides these movies, Zoya Akhtar also directed a segment each in Bombay Talkies [2013] and the web film Lust Stories [2018]. In the former, she questioned the idea of gender identity but without making it a preachy fare. Her Lust Stories short meanwhile was a hard-hitting tale of class divide. It was the simplest and most effective story of all four, arguably. Yet again, one realizes how Zoya is able to venture into different worlds and emerge triumphant. But more than that, Zoya Akhtar’s films are great entertainers. She effortlessly caters to both masses and classes. Although her films get dubbed in the ‘multiplex’ and ‘niche’ category, the fact is that they are not and every section of the audience can relate to it. It’s no wonder that she has got some of the biggest names to work with her and that there’s no stopping her. As she completes ten years as a director and as she awaits the release of Gully Boy on February 14, here’s hoping the actress scales many heights and continues to dole out such brilliant, soulful entertainers!

Check out Katrina Kaif’s ethereal LOOK from BHARAT Check out Katrina Kaif’s ethereal LOOK from BHARAT Katrina Kaif, in her latest Instagram post, has managed to make monochrome look better. The picture she shared is assumed to be from the sets of Bharat, probably from a song shoot. The actress has been prepping for her Eid release where she is paired opposite Salman Khan. The makers have released a teaser and it has shown Salman donning not one but five different looks. The teaser has definitely raised the excitement levels among the ardent Salman-Katrina fans. Waiting for the official trailer to release is getting more and more difficult by each passing day. In her post, Katrina’s look is different from her usual one. In most of her movies, Kat is always seen donning straight hair. But, in this picture, Katrina has tight curls, a bindi and a shy smile. The picture will immediately take you back to the 70s where legendary actresses like Madhubala and Vijayanti Mala had similar looks. This is the kind of picture you just don’t scroll past, especially when it is Ms. Kaif in the frame. Even though she’s relatively new to the world of Instagram, her game is pretty strong. Check out the picture she shared. It was only recently that she shared a video of herself playing cricket while supporting her BFF Anushka Sharma’s husband, Virat Kohli. While she was at it, she even used the official hashtag of Gully Boy, #ApnaTimeAayega. All we can say is, her marketing skills are going to give major companies a run for their money!

Apurva Asrani LASHES OUT at Kangana Ranaut for throwing director Krish out of Manikarnika, chopping off Sonu Sood scenes Apurva Asrani LASHES OUT at Kangana Ranaut for throwing director Krish out of Manikarnika, chopping off Sonu Sood scenes Kangana Ranaut may be enjoying the praise for her latest release Manikarnika – The Queen Of Jhansi but the controversies surrounding her and her film don’t seem to stop. Director Krish has revealed how he was removed from the film after the completion without any reason. Now, Simran writer Apurva Asrani has come forward to support director Krish and those who are going through the same problem what he went through two years ago. For the uninitiated, Hansal Mehta’s Simran was written by Apurva Asrani but after the trailer release, Kangana Ranaut was also given co-writer credit for the film. This started war of words between the two colleagues. Similar situation occurred during Manikarnika when Krish could not give dates for patchwork and reshoots and Kangana took the batton and decided to direct the film herself. While Krish was given the directorial credit, it has been a painful experience for him. Apurva Asrani, who saw Krish’s interview with Bollywood Hungama, spoke at length about his issues with Kangana and how the same thing Krish is going through. “It feels bad to say cathartic when you can see somebody going through so much pain and humiliation. I could see humiliation on his face and voice. It almost feels like his confidence is kind of taken a little beating. I know exactly what it feels like because for two years I went through that. When he talked about how he did not see it coming and how he was shocked because till some point everything was going so beautifully. You think you are making the best film of your life, you know you are so infused that you say no to every other project that comes your way, you have given more blood, sweat, and tears to your film than you wouldn't do for anything else. And you really believe that you are all working together.” Apurva said. “One fine day, you learn that you have been thrown out. Your work has been the same work that people were loving until one day ago. And suddenly, overnight, it changes into something that they are not even telling you, they are giving an interview about how pathetic your work is. It crushed me.” Apurva talked about how Kangana Ranaut discredited him during Simran interviews. “I have been in the business for 23-25 years. My work, whether it has been Satya, whether it has been Aligarh, whether it has been Shahid, whether it has been CityLights, whether it has been Waiting, they were all offbeat films. I don't run after box office. I want to tell good stories. That's the choice. The public doesn't know who I am, I don't have that kind of a reach especially as an editor and as a writer. I am okay with that. But, when a big star of the caliber as Kangana goes to town to say such negative things about me - she is going to Rajat Sharma's show Aap Ki Adalat and she is saying 'Apurva has not done any of the films he claims, he is good for nothing', it really damaged by reputation. I fought my battle there but I did not get support from my very own director who I considered my friend. In fact, they started a whole smear campaign against me, trying to discredit me for my work together. It was a very difficult phase.” “And I could see what this man is going to go through now because this woman (Kangana Ranaut) and her team are going to discredit him and going to try and run this awful campaign against him. And I felt bad because I saw so much passion in the man's eyes and it was truthful. So, that's why I felt, you know, the catharsis comes from the fact that people can't say anymore that 'Apurva was lying'. Because she is a beautiful star. I loved her as an actor. But, today, I can see right through those eyes, they are fake,” he added. Talking about hijacking the project Manikarnika, Apurva further said, “Today, you can't say 'Ketan Mehta ke saath joh kiya woh jhoot tha.' Ketan Mehta's film is this Jhansi Ki Rani which he signed her up in good faith. When the man was in the hospital, I think for an operation, she colluded with the producer and took the film and threw him out. Then, she got this man in Krish, she waited for him to complete the film and she has thrown him without telling him why.” Speaking from his experience during Simran, Apurva revealed how the roles were edited out. He said, “And she did that with me also. She waited for me to complete the edit of the film. I worked so hard for two years. I was the editor and after I finished the edit, she hugged me during the edit and told me how wonderful it was. We were so happy. We were doing something nice. Ofcourse, there was 30% patchwork left and that's the time she strikes. Because that's the time that she is like 'Chalo, main isko complete karti hoon because these people don't know what they are doing'. And overnight the phone calls began like 'Hey boss, you know I had this thought ki yeh nikalte hai, yeh change karte hai.' But, this is the DNA of the film. And if you disagree then she goes to the producer. And he throws you out of the editing of that film. I have edited for Hansal Mehta since the year 2000. His best work whether its Chhal, whether it is Shahid, whether it is CityLights, whether it is Aligarh - has been edited by me, some of them co-written and some are written by me. They threw me out of the company I have built.” When asked how whether just like what happened with Sonu Sood and others, were characters chopped off by Kangana in Simran as well, Apurva revealed, “You know, it did not start immediately. That's what I am trying to tell you. Immediately, the reaction was extremely positive. I can still remember her eyes and energy, it was wonderful. It's crazy that I go through either loving and respecting her or completely sheering her and hating her. There is something in her which is almost like two personalities. I can't explain. She has actually loved most of it. Then, she goes home and comes up saying 'Isko change karo, isko aisa karo.' To be honest, the script that I wrote and what they shot, when I saw the rushes, I saw a lot of changes. When I say changes, I don't mean story, and I don't even mean screenplay. Basically, taking out dialogues from other actors. You are cutting down the mother's role in Simran. So, there was a very close emotional bond with her mother which was written. You had to feel sympathy for Simran and that was I felt in the writing. You have to feel sympathy for the character. Who is she? She is somebody who is lying, robbing banks, gambling away all her money. Why would you root for such a character? You had to write a character who you root for. She had reasons. She was under pressure from her family to succumb to get married. She had already been divorced. She was trapped in a job, in a house, she wanted to break free. But, the main thing what I had written was that she wanted to buy a house so that she could live there with her mother. Because her mother and father are fighting all the time and she loved them dearly. She felt her father did not appreciate her and he was a patriarchal person. So, the emotional driving force is the opening of the film where they go to see an apartment together which she wants to buy for her mother. But when I saw the rushes, the mother is missing from that scene. The mother is not there. She, herself, is going and looking at the apartment and she says 'I'd love to live here' and that kind of a thing. It's nicely done and there is no doubt about it. The dialogues are the same but there's no mother. So, yeah, this kind of things happened on the set and how they transpired and all of those things, I don't know exactly. But, yes. Things happened eventually.” ALSO READ: Manikarnika controversy: “I was SHOCKED, this was NOT what we shot for” - Actress Mishti aka Kashi Bai speaks up against Kangana Ranaut http://bit.ly/2BbwPnf

I am very glad that Teach For Change is launching a nationwide movement and I pledge my support to the initiative and encourage all committed citizens who want to make a difference to sign up for the program and volunteer to teach”. The nationwide launch happened on January 29 at Soho House along with these actors including Jaya Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu and Rakul Preet Singh.

Kapil Sharma has REFORMED, does not keep celebrities waiting thanks to THIS person Kapil Sharma has REFORMED, does not keep celebrities waiting thanks to THIS person Kapil Sharma has bounced back and how! The Kapil Sharma Show is doing well on the TRP charts and Sharma proved once again that people like genuinely funny content on the television and if they get what they expect, they are going to come back for more. Regardless of the sabbatical that Sharma took owing to his health (he was battling alcoholism and depression for those who don’t know), people have accepted him as a comedian and most importantly as the prime time entertainer on television! Also, there is a welcome change in his approach with the shoot. Kapil was earlier notorious for making celebs wait for hours before he could start shooting and he would NOT wrap up his shoot before wee hours in the morning but the latest actor to go on his show, Juhi Chawla, confirmed that this has changed. Juhi with Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor went on the sets of The Kapil Sharma Show to promote Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. She said that now Kapil is dot on the call time which is 7pm and starts shooting also on time because, well he has a deadline at home by none other than his wife! Yeah, Kapil got married to his childhood sweetheart Ginni Chatrath in December. Juhi said that this is the GINNI EFFECT as she demands that he should be back home on time. Juhi exposed this secret on the show and Kapil said that he was planning to go home late today but he can’t, thanks to Juhi! Things have changed positively for Kapil after his marriage. Hope that it stays this way. Also Read: The Kapil Sharma Show 2 – Sania Mirza demands Kapil return her utensils and this is the REASON! http://bit.ly/2WtNLOD

Manikarnika controversy: “I was SHOCKED, this was NOT what we shot for” - Actress Mishti aka Kashi Bai speaks up against Kangana Ranaut Manikarnika controversy: “I was SHOCKED, this was NOT what we shot for” - Actress Mishti aka Kashi Bai speaks up against Kangana Ranaut Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi released on January 25 and since then, it has been doing very well at the box office. Masses and critics, both, have applauded Kangana Ranaut's portrayal of the valiant queen of Jhansi. Thanks to the positive word of mouth, the movie is running in the packed houses. But despite the success of Manikarnika, there is a controversy surrounding the movie. In all her promotional interviews, Kangana claimed that she has directed 70 per cent of the film but director Krish who was originally on board this project is terribly disappointed with the outcome. And so are actors Sonu Sood, who infamously walked out of the project, and actress Mishti Chakraborty who plays Rani's aide Kashi Bai in the film. Mishti Chakraborty exclusively spoke to Bollywood Hungama as she claimed that she is 'literally shocked’ to see the final outcome of the film. She also claimed that she had not envisioned her role to be this short or insignificant. Mishti was not surprised that the movie is doing well. She said, “I always knew this film would do well. It is about Rani Laxmibai jo sab ke dil mai basi hai (the historical figure of queen of Jhansi is close to everyone's hearts) so it has to do well. It has huge patriotic feelings attached to it.” On being asked if she is happy with her role in Manikarnika, Mishti took a short pause before answering, “This was not what I was expecting. This was not what we shot for. This was not what I was promised. So, if you are talking on a personal level about my thing then I can't really say am happy about it.” Mishti Chakraborty then revealed that when she was first being considered for the role by the producer Kamal Jain, she was very hesitant in taking up a character which was a supportive role to the lead. She was always clear that she wanted something 'substantial’ and not a 'secondary role in a big film.’ Mishti then said that the producer convinced her by saying that, “It is a fantastic role and there is a lot to perform.” She further explained, “What I want to do as an actor is have an adequate scope for performance. It might be just for five minutes. It's not about being a lead or not, it's about the performance. So that's what I was told...my character has some great scenes and a fantastic scope of acting which is at par with the leading lady of the film.” She also specifically said that her another reason for doing the film was director Krish who she wanted to work with owing to his fantastic work down South. Mishti said that though she was doubtful, director Krish had a different vision for Kashi Bai as someone who is an emotional anchor to the Queen. The disgruntled actress then said, “We began shooting for the film and there were lot of things to be shot. There were a lot of fighting and horse riding scenes.” Interestingly, these scenes never saw the light of the day as they were edited from the final copy of the film. Mishti then said that a lot of her scenes with heavy duty drama shot with Kangana also did not see the light of the day. “Kashibai was the main emotional side of Rani Laxmibai. The scene where she hands over the baby to me, this was beautifully shot by Krish. It was not complete. But I dubbed for it and it came out really well.” Mishti recalled that she was suddenly informed that Krish was not coming for the last schedule and he suddenly went MIA. She then revealed that she got to see the final film five days before its release. “I was literally shocked. This was not what we shot for. This was not what I was expecting. I am an actor and I just don't want my face to be seen. That there are a few nice close ups and that's it. I want my work to be talked about, not my clothes and shoes.” She reiterated that she was hugely disappointed after watching the film and she just walked out of the theatre without talking to anyone.” Adding on to this, Mishti also revealed that Kangana NEVER directed her. She said that if Kangana claims that she has directed 70 per cent of her movie, then she must be talking about the ‘Baahubali type flying action shots’. She took a clear side and said, “I would go with Krish’s version. Kangana modified the movie in the edit.” “To glorify yourself, you don’t need to put others down. If you are great, you will stand out in the crowd. If you don’t have the confidence, you will want it all for yourself.” Mishti said that the movie was about Manikarnika so there was no need for Kangana to chop off others’ roles. She even compared the movie to Vidya Balan’s Begum Jaan, which she was part of. She even said that Kangana had said, “I want dates because all characters look jumbled up. I want to introduce them properly. I have taken nice close ups...I trying my best to give everybody a prominent space on screen. After watching the movie, there is no scope for other characters. So there was no need to make fake promises. Watch the full interview below.

Kriti Kulhari opens up about starring in Uri: The Surgical Strike, doing Netflix show with Emraan Hashmi and more Kriti Kulhari opens up about starring in Uri: The Surgical Strike, doing Netflix show with Emraan Hashmi and more The very talented and lovely Kirti Kulhari, who was recently seen in a small but important cameo in the blockbuster feature film Uri - The Surgical Strike, is whooping it up as one of the four sexually unabashed protagonists in the sassy web series Four More Shots, Please. Kriti, who played a memorable the game-changing women’s picture Pink, says she is overwhelmed by the love.  “I am receiving as much love for Four Shots More Please as I got Pink, if not more. It's heartwarming. This year I’ve 4-5 things in my kitty.. all different stuff.. interesting stuff. This is a good time to be an actor in Indian cinema. There is so much happening in so many different formats and platforms. Things are slowly but surely the work that excites me and people who like watching me, are coming my way. I just want to do what I know..and want to keep learning and growing” Kirti is happy with her cameo in Uri, although many felt her role was too brief. She defends her abbreviated appearance in Uri, “I had a guest appearance. But even people who were not doing special appearances, apart from the male lead Vicky Kaushal, everyone had a very limited and small role.” Audiences noticed a romantic vibe between Kirti and Vicky’s character in Uri. Confesses Kirti, “Well, I always felt it. But we never worked on it. This romantic vibe was there on paper so I guess it has kind of come across on screen. I don't know if it's necessarily romantic but there is a connection which is quite visible. I really feel me and Vicky should do a film together. We would be good together, both of us being the same kind of actors.” Speaking on her forthcoming assignments, Kriti informs, “I am a doing Mission Mangal film with Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan with the others. Apart from Vidya and Akshay, all other actors are at par as far as the roles and screen-time are concerned. I am also doing a show for Netflix called Bard of Blood with Emraan Hashmi. I am playing a Baluchi girl in that.” In the current series Four Shots More Please, Kriti is shown having a conversation with her vagina. Was she comfortable with this kind of sexual frankness? Says Kriti, “It is obviously not something someone does in their normal lives. It was a stretch of the imagination and meant to be a fun scene, and that's how I saw it. While executing a scene like this was tough, my comfort with the scene and what it entails was not an issue.” Kriti feels it is time for the sexual revolution to hit Indian cinema. “It's high time subjects like sex and everything that it includes, are normalized. And anything and everything that stimulates this process should be welcomed. People have to be pushed out of their comfort zones to be able to see things for what they are. It will be great to live in a world where we don't discuss sex anymore because we have managed to go beyond it. And then we can focus on more important things."

She had said, “Main bahut bahut paise lene wali hoon and I have to be his favourite saali.” And it seems that her wish had come true! She may not have got $5 million as a gift for the tradition but she definitely got what every woman loves – diamonds. And here’s what she revealed on the show BFFs With Vogue hosted by Neha Dhupia. Recently Parineeti Chopra along with her bestie Sania Mirza were the guests on the BFFs With Vogue. Here’s when she decided to speak about the much talked about Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas wedding. As readers may be aware, the couple tied the knot in a lavish yet private ceremony in Umaid Bhawan, Udaipur and Parineeti Chopra [who is Priyanka’s cousin] was one of the bridesmaids. In recent media reports, the doting sister gave a glimpse of the jhoota churai tradition, where the bridesmaids are supposed to hide the shoes of the groom and the groom’s team has to find it. If not, the groom is supposed to bribe the bridesmaids with gifts or cash before getting the footwear back. In case of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas wedding too, both the families followed their respective traditions during the Christian and Hindu ceremonies. So when the time for hiding the footwear came, the bridesmaids were well prepared to bag a hefty sum as a gift in return for the shoes. The actress went on to speak about it on the Neha Dhupia show adding that they were in for a pleasant surprise, seeing the kind of preparation, their jiju aka Nick Jonas had done for them. It seems that all of them received diamond rings as a part of the jhoota churai tradition. The actress couldn’t stop gushing about her brother-in-law’s gesture, calling him the best ever! On the work front, Parineeti Chopra has a few releases in 2019 which include Kesari, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Jabariya Jodi.

Taimur Ali Khan STEALS Saif Ali Khan’s thunder on Sacred Games 2 sets (see INSIDE pics) Taimur Ali Khan STEALS Saif Ali Khan’s thunder on Sacred Games 2 sets (see INSIDE pics) Little munchkin Taimur Ali Khan has been in the limelight since the day he was born and there has been not a single day that he has not been papped. Today, he visited Saif Ali Khan on his Sacred Games sets. Saif, in the garb of Sartaj Singh, was shooting outdoors. He was joined by Taimur who is seen playing in the open ground and is in a particular cheerful mood. He sure has turned the movie set in to his personal playground. Completely unperturbed by the happenings and pressures of a set, Taimur is seen enjoying his own company. Check out the pics below and you will know what we are saying. We also wonder how did Taimur react after seeing his father in a different garb or did he even recognise Papa Saif in this avatar? Recently, mom Kareena Kapoor Khan spoke to the media and said that she makes sure that Taimur is grounded and has a normal childhood despite his ultra celeb status. She also added that though the little munchkin is appreciated for his ‘FASHION FORWARD’ choices, she shops for him from regular retail stores. He does not wear brands because he is just a kid and Kareena asserted that he will start wearing haute couture only after he affords it, after getting older. On the professional front, Saif has been working on Sacred Games 2 and Kareena Kapoor Khan has started shooting Good News with Akshay Kumar. She will also work on Takht under the same banner.

Kartik Aaryan was scared that the ‘backfie’ might backfire Kartik Aaryan was scared that the ‘backfie’ might backfire Kartik Aaryan shot to fame from his debut Pyaar Ka Punchnama itself. The audience fell in love with him all over again with his last hit, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. With multiple fashion brands approaching him and killing it on the ramp as Manish Malhotra’s showstopper with Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kartik is receiving a lot of appreciation. With all of this going on, the Punchnama baby recently had the opportunity to meet the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. Along with other Bollywood celebs, which included Karan Johar, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, they had a tête-à-tête with the honourable man. The bunch took KJo’s private jet and had a blast altogether. What grabbed the most attention was their ‘backfie’. The picture included director Imtiaz Ali, Karan Johar, and Dinesh Vijan. This innovative picture of theirs was even acknowledged by the PM himself. Check out the tweets exchanged between the PM and Kartik. Losers’ backfie with the Honorable PM! ????#ImtiazAli @karanjohar #Dineshvijjan pic.twitter.com/Cl9yYSf2Hc — Kartik Aaryan (@TheAaryanKartik) January 19, 2019 Not losers but Rockstars! No selfie Jab We Met but there will always be another occasion. :) https://t.co/1Ud7D5jIvd — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) January 20, 2019 Speaking about the backfie, Kartik opened up about how nervous they were to ask him for a selfie. The bunch thought it would be inappropriate to ask him for a selfie, so instead, they decided to go for the backfie. After posting the picture and captioning it as ‘losers’ backfie’, they were scared that it will be taken in a wrong way. They were tensed about it going haywire and hoping that it would not backfire. The picture was taken in good faith and they did not mean to offend anyone with their witty caption. However, luck favoured them when the PM himself replied to their picture addressing them as rockstars. On the professional front, Kartik is going to be seen in Luka Chuppi opposite Kriti Sanon and we can’t wait to see their fun-filled rollercoaster ride of a film.

Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals about her character POO from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals about her character POO from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham Kareena Kapoor Khan is all set to impress us yet again with two back to back movies: Good News and Takht. For over 19 years, we have got to see Kareena Kapoor Khan’s various avatars on screen. We have seen her grow from strength to strength as she experimented with genres and characters over the years. She also set some awesome trends. First with size zero and then with healthy eating and power yoga. Motherhood brought to light different facets in this already multi-dimensional personality. She dabbled in anchoring this time around. Looking back at all of this, one character we remember quite distinctively is that of Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Poo remains to be her personal favourite character too. In one of the interviews recently she opened up about the same and said that the way Poo was written, she was pretty ahead of her times. First of all, Poo never apologised for her choices and wore what she wanted. Though vain, she sure is a role model for girls even today because she was not worried about pleasing people but lived on her own terms. Years later, Kareena has been advocating the same doctrine on her radio show: What Women Want. Kareena has already started shooting for Good News with Akshay Kumar which also stars Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani. She and Akshay will be seen as a husband and wife who are trying to have a baby. It would be interesting to see them pair together after so long. ALSO READ: Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Good News gets a release date – details inside http://bit.ly/2HEkyNw

The Kapil Sharma Show 2 – Sania Mirza demands Kapil return her utensils and this is the REASON! The Kapil Sharma Show 2 – Sania Mirza demands Kapil return her utensils and this is the REASON! The Kapil Sharma Show has returned with a bang with a new season and new cast. Joining the team were comedians like Krushna Abhishek and Bharti Singh. Besides them, we can yet again have fun with Bollywood celebs who are flooding the show. From Simmba to Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga cast, many of them have already been a part of it. The next in line is tennis champ Sania Mirza and her sister Anam Mirza. Amidst all the fun and frolic, Sania Mirza and Anam also took us around Hyderabad. Not literally but the two Mirza girls spoke about the famous things in Hyderabad which included language and even the attitude of the city which they described as laidback. In between, they also spoke about the yummylicious biryani that the city boasts of. While the mention of it is said to have made everyone’s mouth water, it seems that Sania did the sweetest gesture of sending out the yum biryani for Kapil some time ago. Kapil Sharma was in Hyderabad quite some time back when he was eager to taste the much talked about special ‘Hyderabadi’ biryani. It seems that Sania Mirza was more than happy to oblige and sent over some special biryani not just for the comedian but for his team. But what she was surprised to note was that her utensils never returned! The sports persona mentioned about the same during the episode where she also stated that everyone including the hotel staff had a taste of the yum biryani she sent across. However, it seems that the utensils got misplaced in all the biryani hoopla. The tennis player asked Kapil to return her utensils that have disappeared since the incident. Knowing the humorous Kapil Sharma, we are currently awaiting his comments on the incident!

Sara Ali Khan doesn’t mind if Kartik Aaryan is DATING Ananya Panday (read full disclosure) Sara Ali Khan doesn’t mind if Kartik Aaryan is DATING Ananya Panday (read full disclosure) The whole Sara Ali Khan likes Kartik Aaryan and the resultant will, he…won’t he predicament which was hyped up by media has now lost its steam. While Sara keeps saying that she does find Kartik cute and everything, the Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety actor has different things on his mind currently. The two have cordially met at events where Sara’s Simmba co-star made things awkward from them by very publicly ‘setting them up’ in front of the media. Kartik then went on dinner dates with Ananya Panday and was also signed for a film, Pati Patni Aur Woh remake. Now, Sara was asked about the same and she said that of course she has no problem whatsoever if Kartik and Ananya are dating. She said that she does find him cute but if he thinks that someone else is cute then well, that is good for him! She also said that she is not going to DM him with her address or anything because it will just look desperate. She also said that her mom Amrita Singh said that she should wait and she is going to listen to her. Wow, now that seems like a good girl! Sara has been doing very well professionally and has been making right noise with movies like Simmba and Kedarnath. It is in news that maybe she is being considered for Love Aaj Kal 2 and there are no prizes for guessing that her co-star will be Kartik Aaryan in this one! There isn’t any official announcement on her future projects yet but we want her to do it soon!

Nicknames in Sushant Singh Rajput - Shraddha Kapoor starrer Chhichhore inspired from Nitesh Tiwari’s college life Nicknames in Sushant Singh Rajput - Shraddha Kapoor starrer Chhichhore inspired from Nitesh Tiwari’s college life Writer - director Nitesh Tiwari is currently working on Sajid Nadiadwala’s upcoming Chhichhore with Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead. The filmmaker revealed the names and nicknames of all the characters in the ensemble poster of the film. While one of the characters (Varun Sharma) is called Sexa because he’s always looking to get laid, there’s also one who’s named Acid. The first poster of the film revealed that there are two eras captured in the movie — one set in college (1992) and the other in present time. Sharing the reasons of having quirky names, Nitesh Tiwari said, “I have spent four years in hostel and during my IIT days, it used to be a tradition to call out names and tag people. The nicknames that we gave ranged from being conventional to extremely weird depending on peoples’ names and context behind.” The director further added, “The names you have seen in the poster originate from my hostel but we have tweaked them to suit the characters. For example, ‘Acid’ is a very angst-ridden guy, ‘Mummy’ is the homesick guy and misses his mother the most. The strange thing is that your so-called roomies will always call you by your nicknames or rather, I still do that. I have my friends from IIT Bombay and their nick names are Guppa, Gucci, Puke, B-Zero, Dard Kumar, Skinny, Bhindi, Danda and many more.” The released quirky poster bears the famous Hindi saying 'Kutte ki dum tedhi ki tedhi' and features the cast in two versions - young and old, hinting at an out-of-the-box narrative. The film stars Shraddha Kapoor, Sushant Singh Rajput, Prateik Babbar, Varun Sharma, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Tushar Pandey, Saharsh Shukla & Naveen Polishetty. Fox Star Studios presents a Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment production, Chhichhore is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, co-produced by Fox Star Studios and is directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film is slated to hit theaters on August 30, 2019. ALSO READ: Shraddha Kapoor resumes work; begins with the Sushant Singh Rajput starrer Chhichhore http://bit.ly/2Un9xSj

Kapil Sharma apologizes to our honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi on National Television over the Twitter debacle Kapil Sharma apologizes to our honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi on National Television over the Twitter debacle Before going on a long break, Kapil Sharma stirred many controversies owing to his late night Twitter posts. But one of the major ones was when he took a dig at the honorable Prime Minister on the social media platform over a BMC official asking for bribe. This was followed by a massive outrage where netizens and BJP supporters lashed out on the comedian for making such nasty statements. But it seems all of those were a thing of past, as Kapil Sharma not only met our PM at an event recently but he also went on to apologize to him during the recent episode of his comeback show on National Television during The Kapil Sharma Show. Kapil Sharma was recently seen hosting the cast of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga which included Rajkummar Rao, Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Juhi Chawla on The Kapil Sharma Show. Amidst many jokes and wit crackers, Rajkummar decided to pull Kapil Sharma’s leg by starting off the topic of the Twitter post that he had shared against Modi wherein he had sarcastically taken a jibe on the ‘Achhe Din’ campaign. Here’s a glimpse of the tweets posted by Kapil way back in 2016:   I am paying 15 cr income tax from last 5 year n still i have to pay 5 lacs bribe to BMC office for making my office @narendramodi — KAPIL (@KapilSharmaK9) September 9, 2016   Yeh hain aapke achhe din ? @narendramodi — KAPIL (@KapilSharmaK9) September 9, 2016 Well readers would be aware that the Gen Y stars including Rajkummar Rao had taken off to the capital to meet the PM and discuss about the developments of the film industry. When Kapil enquired about the meeting and asked him if the PM said anything about him, Rao decided to wittily respond by stating that the PM was enquiring about a certain married celeb. While he initially thought it was Virat, Modiji clarified by saying that he was asking about Kapil. The actor further added that he was remembering the comedian, albeit with a tad bit of annoyance. While Kapil Sharma initially dismissed it as a thing of the past, under a little persistence by Juhi Chawla, the comedian went on to speak about it. He apparently stated that the thing called Twitter has created enough mess in his life, followed by which, he apologized to our PM saying ‘Modi Saab Sorry’ during the show. On the other hand, Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is also a part of the show, advised Kapil Sharma to stay away from posting these tweets late at nights. To the same, Kapil Sharma reacted adding that those were his singlehood days. In order to end the controversial topic, Kapil also requested his guests to change the subject. Interestingly, not too long ago, Kapil Sharma expressed his admiration and respect towards Narendra Modi on Twitter after meeting him during the inauguration of National Museum of Indian Cinema in Mumbai. Not just that, our PM responded to his tweet on a positive note! Respected pm Sh @narendramodi ji,it was nice meeting u n great knowing ur inspiring ideas and progressive views about our film industry and our nation. N sir I must say u have a great sense of humor too! regards ???? pic.twitter.com/2fDpGC2qwh — KAPIL (@KapilSharmaK9) January 19, 2019   When @KapilSharmaK9 appreciates somebody's humour, it sure makes that person happy and I am no exception. :) Thank you for the kind words Kapil. https://t.co/SHVTH6vI8p — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) January 20, 2019 Also Read: The Kapil Sharma Show: Salman Khan reveals his uncle Mamaraam has no idea about Kapil http://bit.ly/2FWq1gW

WHOA! Aamir Khan wants Katrina Kaif to sing a love ballad for Salman Khan at Galaxy Apartments? WHOA! Aamir Khan wants Katrina Kaif to sing a love ballad for Salman Khan at Galaxy Apartments? Katrina Kaif recently appeared on a talk show where she candidly spoke about her personal relationships, which is rare for the leggy beauty. She revealed in detail about her relationship with her director best friend Ali Abbas Zafar and said that if there is one person that understands her in the industry, that is Ali. Ali also said that he thinks there are a lot of similarities between him and Katrina, their families and the way they were brought up. He also said that he has a very transparent relationship with Katrina both on personal and professional level. There also was a segment where another of Katrina’s best friend had a fun challenge for her. Aamir Khan featured on the show and said that if his Thugs Of Hindostan co-star loses to him in a game of chess, she has to come with him to Galaxy Apartments and sing Dil Cheez Kya Hai Aap Meri Jaan Lijiye…now this is a big REVEAL and complete tell-all from Aamir’s side. Isn’t it? Now, we know who stays in Galaxy Apartments and who Aamir is referring to! Katrina and Salman Khan go a long way back and were once dating. Now, they still are closest friends and have also collaborated on many movies including their current one: Bharat. So, it is not surprising that their mutual fans want them to get together off screen as well. Aamir too was indirectly teasing Katrina with the same thing, we are guessing! On a professional front, Katrina walked out voluntarily from Varun Dhawan’s dance drama because her dates were clashing with Bharat and she preferred concentrating on the project at hand.

What the SUCCESSFUL DIRECTORS of Bollywood are making next? What the SUCCESSFUL DIRECTORS of Bollywood are making next? We have come a long way from the times when a Ramesh Sippy, Manmohan Singh and Rajiv Rai made the very similar Shaan, Naseeb and Vishwatma after then super successes of Sholay, Amar Akbar Anthony and Tridev just to cash in, despite their huge talent. We also are well past the era when a Ram Gopal Varma can go back to Bhoot Returns, Sarkar 3 and Satya 2 out of desperation. That is not going to work any more! These are tough times for filmmakers who think just money. And on the contrary, these are fantastic times for those directors who are dedicated only to pleasing the audience, irrespective of genre, scale and star-cast, with something interesting and possibly fresh. Since 2018 was higher than normal on people-friendly cinema, here’s a look at what the successful directors are up to next. And we find that almost all are out to do something different. We begin with Ali Abbas Zafar, who directed the late 2017 Tiger Zinda Hai, which had most of its impressive run in 2018. Ali is now directing the mammoth Bharat, whose teaser is just out. An Eid 2019 release, it spans 60 years of a man’s life along with the same lifespan of India. Clearly, Zafar, who quit Yash Raj Films to work on this project, is sparing no efforts to make this a dramatic entertainer after a rom-com, a love triangle, a sports drama and an action extravaganza. Over to 2018: Sanjay Leela Bhansali (Padmaavat), Rajkumar Hirani (Sanju), R. Balki (Pad-Man), Umesh Shukla (102 Not Out), Siddharth P. Malhotra (Hichki) and Reema Kagti (Gold) have yet to announce their next ventures. Neither have Abhishek Kapoor (Kedarnath) and Sharat Katariya (Sui Dhaaga—Made In India) gone in for their next. Luv Ranjan, director of the super-hit Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, also has yet to confirm whether reports of his next, featuring Ajay Devgn, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone is rolling in November, are true or not. Similarly, Sriram Raghavan, having tasted big success with AndhaDhun, is carefully taking his next steps. While buzz keeps coming, it is said that his next film will not be Badlapur 2, but a war film, tentatively titled Ekkis, on Param Vir Chakra awardee Arun Khetarpal. The genius is treading his ground very carefully to make sure that one more ‘twist’-ed film of his meets up with people’s endorsement. Same same but different Ahmed Khan, who helmed Baaghi 2, had already been signed for Baaghi 3 weeks before the release of that film. Producer Sajid Nadidawala had been very confident, but the proof of the pudding lay in its consumption by the audience. And one fact will be clear now for both parties: the new film will have to be better and different while retaining the spirit—a tough task indeed! Milap Milan Zaveri, after Satyameva Jayate, will also have to put in something kickass in Marjaawan, his next action drama. Having found success in this genre, he certainly cannot take it for granted. Happily, he seems to have reaffirmed conviction in himself and his script by no big star of the level of John Abraham. Sidharth Malhotra, Rakul Preet Singh, Riteish Deshmukh and Tara Sutaria star in the film. Rajkumar Gupta has chosen another exciting real-life drama but no superstar like Ajay Devgn for his next after Raid—India’s Most Wanted. This time he tells the story of a terrorist captured minus a single shot being fired, and could well mark the coming back to reckoning for the flop-riddled Arjun Kapoor. And the badshah of entertaining blockbusters, Rohit Shetty, has already announced Sooryavanshi at the tail-end of Simmba. The intense action drama on an ATS officer marks his first innings with Akshay Kumar. If buzz is to be given credence, it will be followed up with another cop drama, with Salman Khan no less. Rohit spins various plots between one genre with ease when not making a franchise. More surprises from those who surprised us in 2018 Abhishek Sharma, who had a mixed innings before Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran, is now making The Zoya Factor, which he terms a “high-octane, feel-good drama”. Once again, the content is considered the biggest star as the film features Dulquer Salman and Sonam Kapoor—not hot box-office properties at all. Shashanka Ghosh after Veere Di Wedding opts for another light ensemble cast—but of Ratna Pathak Shah, Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher, for the screen adaptation of The Betel Nut Killers. The quirky comedy will revolve around an NRI Gujarati family who runs into two American convicts in the US. Fresh from a debut success in Stree, Amar Kaushik is not looking at the proposed Stree 2 (and Stree 3), but at the Hindi remake of the Marathi National award-winning film on surrogacy, Mala Aai Vhaychay directed originally by the lawyer who fought the case, Samruddhi Porey. Yes, it is again a female-oriented film, but with a strong message. It is conceivable that the protagonist is played by a young and top level actor. In that sense, Meghna Gulzar has struck gold with Deepika Padukone not only accepting her Chhapaak on a real-life acid attack victim but also producing the film. After Raazi, this is a complete shift towards a drama that is topical and has a powerful social message rather than a patriotic one. And gravitating out of necessity towards a superstar (Ajay Devgn) is Badhaai Ho filmmaker Amit Ravindernath Sharma, who is getting into the completely diverse zone of a sports film that will showcase the Golden Era of Indian football. And the 2019 champs It is presumably too early to see what Aditya Dhar (URI: The Surgical Strikes), Kangana Ranaut and Krish will attempt after Mainikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi. Abhijit Panse, of course, has promised us the continuation of Thackeray already. But the bottom-line remains the same: it is after a hit that we need to go on the same way that generated it—value-for-money entertainment and conviction in content. http://bit.ly/2Ro3uuP

LFW Summer/Resort 2019: Tabu and Karan Johar storm the scene as the showstoppers for Gaurav Gupta with oodles of sass and spunk! LFW Summer/Resort 2019: Tabu and Karan Johar storm the scene as the showstoppers for Gaurav Gupta with oodles of sass and spunk! The Summer/Resort 2019 edition of Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) that will begin from January 30 to February 3 in Mumbai saw eminent fashion designer Gaurav Gupta unveil his latest collection in the opening show tonight at the Opera House. Turning muse for the designer were none other than Tabu and Karan Johar. The resplendent diva, Tabu was a vision to behold in a gown as she walked the ramp while Bollywood’s flamboyant boy, Karan worked a shimmery bright red blazer as he walked the ramp with utter aplomb! While Tabu has us intrigued with her timeless beauty, grace and poise, it's quite safe to say that Karan Johar’s style is game-changing and fabulous. While she sticks to classics but has also adapted well to the changing pace of fashion, acquiring a distinct style, Karan's style shenanigans include all things modish, quirky, incredible and are intriguing to say the least. The designer’s collection, titled ‘The (Un)folding’ witnessed delicate hand embroidered chikankari and Benarasi brocade come together. The subtle play of these two translated well into evening wear, dresses, pantsuits, sari gowns and lehengas. Gaurav Gupta’s signature style of pattern making including origami folding as well as fluid-structural construction were also evident. The colour palette featured the quintessential summer pastels like the yellow, rose, ivory, powder blue. Intricate embellishments and embroideries like crystals, zardozi and 3D floral motifs dominated. Here is a closer look at the stunning Tabu and the very dapper Karan Johar as they turned showstoppers for Gaurav Gupta tonight. Tabu and Karan Johar for Gaurav Gupta at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2019 A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) on Jan 29, 2019 at 9:14am PST Tabu walked with the unmissable grace of a diva in a grey-silver gown that was well complimented with sleek hair and subtle makeup.

Kartik Aaryan opens up about his rumoured romance with Ananya Panday Kartik Aaryan opens up about his rumoured romance with Ananya Panday Kartik Aaryan had a wonderful and a superhit year in 2018 with the success of his sleeper hit film, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. The film put him on the map and made him one of the youngest stars to join the Rs 100 crore club. Not just that, the actor has been linked to many actresses in the past. The latest one he is linked to is Pati Patni Aur Woh remake newbie, Ananya Panday. It was recently announced that the two actors would be starring in the remake. But, just before that, Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday were seen together after a night out. Soon, the rumours began that these two are together. Speaking about his rumoured romance and his dating life which is always in the limelight, Kartik recently said that he is currently concentrating on his work. According to him, relationships take a lot of time and he feels guilty if he is not able to give enough time to his partner. So, he doesn't want to be in a relationship now and is committed to his fans and would like to concentrate on his work. Kartik Aaryan further said that even if he has gone out with a producer and the actress, it is only written about him and the actress. That is something he doesn't understand. He feels people enjoy writing about it and how many people can he stop. Last year on Koffee With Karan, Sara Ali Khan made her debut on the show where she admitted she would like to date Kartik Aaryan. But, when asked Kartik, he said he would like to take her for a coffee. Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan will be next seen in Dinesh Vijan’s Luka Chuppi starring alongside Kriti Sanon.

She had said, “Main bahut bahut paise lene wali hoon and I have to be his favourite saali.” And it seems that her wish had come true! She may not have got $5 million as a gift for the tradition but she definitely got what every woman loves – diamonds. And here’s what she revealed on the show BFFs With Vogue hosted by Neha Dhupia. Recently Parineeti Chopra along with her bestie Sania Mirza were the guests on the BFFs With Vogue. Here’s when she decided to speak about the much talked about Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas wedding. As readers may be aware, the couple tied the knot in a lavish yet private ceremony in Umaid Bhawan, Udaipur and Parineeti Chopra [who is Priyanka’s cousin] was one of the bridesmaids. In recent media reports, the doting sister gave a glimpse of the jhoota churai tradition, where the bridesmaids are supposed to hide the shoes of the groom and the groom’s team has to find it. If not, the groom is supposed to bribe the bridesmaids with gifts or cash before getting the footwear back. In case of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas wedding too, both the families followed their respective traditions during the Christian and Hindu ceremonies. So when the time for hiding the footwear came, the bridesmaids were well prepared to bag a hefty sum as a gift in return for the shoes. The actress went on to speak about it on the Neha Dhupia show adding that they were in for a pleasant surprise, seeing the kind of preparation, their jiju aka Nick Jonas had done for them. It seems that all of them received diamond rings as a part of the jhoota churai tradition. The actress couldn’t stop gushing about her brother-in-law’s gesture, calling him the best ever! On the work front, Parineeti Chopra has a few releases in 2019 which include Kesari, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Jabariya Jodi.

Taimur Ali Khan STEALS Saif Ali Khan’s thunder on Sacred Games 2 sets (see INSIDE pics) Taimur Ali Khan STEALS Saif Ali Khan’s thunder on Sacred Games 2 sets (see INSIDE pics) Little munchkin Taimur Ali Khan has been in the limelight since the day he was born and there has been not a single day that he has not been papped. Today, he visited Saif Ali Khan on his Sacred Games sets. Saif, in the garb of Sartaj Singh, was shooting outdoors. He was joined by Taimur who is seen playing in the open ground and is in a particular cheerful mood. He sure has turned the movie set in to his personal playground. Completely unperturbed by the happenings and pressures of a set, Taimur is seen enjoying his own company. Check out the pics below and you will know what we are saying. We also wonder how did Taimur react after seeing his father in a different garb or did he even recognise Papa Saif in this avatar? Recently, mom Kareena Kapoor Khan spoke to the media and said that she makes sure that Taimur is grounded and has a normal childhood despite his ultra celeb status. She also added that though the little munchkin is appreciated for his ‘FASHION FORWARD’ choices, she shops for him from regular retail stores. He does not wear brands because he is just a kid and Kareena asserted that he will start wearing haute couture only after he affords it, after getting older. On the professional front, Saif has been working on Sacred Games 2 and Kareena Kapoor Khan has started shooting Good News with Akshay Kumar. She will also work on Takht under the same banner.

The bunch took KJo’s private jet and had a blast altogether. What grabbed the most attention was their ‘backfie’. The picture included director Imtiaz Ali, Karan Johar, and Dinesh Vijan. This innovative picture of theirs was even acknowledged by the PM himself. Check out the tweets exchanged between the PM and Kartik. Losers’ backfie with the Honorable PM! ????#ImtiazAli @karanjohar #Dineshvijjan pic.twitter.com/Cl9yYSf2Hc — Kartik Aaryan (@TheAaryanKartik) January 19, 2019 Not losers but Rockstars! No selfie Jab We Met but there will always be another occasion. :) https://t.co/1Ud7D5jIvd — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) January 20, 2019 Speaking about the backfie, Kartik opened up about how nervous they were to ask him for a selfie. The bunch thought it would be inappropriate to ask him for a selfie, so instead, they decided to go for the backfie. After posting the picture and captioning it as ‘losers’ backfie’, they were scared that it will be taken in a wrong way. They were tensed about it going haywire and hoping that it would not backfire. The picture was taken in good faith and they did not mean to offend anyone with their witty caption. However, luck favoured them when the PM himself replied to their picture addressing them as rockstars. On the professional front, Kartik is going to be seen in Luka Chuppi opposite Kriti Sanon and we can’t wait to see their fun-filled rollercoaster ride of a film.

Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals about her character POO from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals about her character POO from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham Kareena Kapoor Khan is all set to impress us yet again with two back to back movies: Good News and Takht. For over 19 years, we have got to see Kareena Kapoor Khan’s various avatars on screen. We have seen her grow from strength to strength as she experimented with genres and characters over the years. She also set some awesome trends. First with size zero and then with healthy eating and power yoga. Motherhood brought to light different facets in this already multi-dimensional personality. She dabbled in anchoring this time around. Looking back at all of this, one character we remember quite distinctively is that of Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Poo remains to be her personal favourite character too. In one of the interviews recently she opened up about the same and said that the way Poo was written, she was pretty ahead of her times. First of all, Poo never apologised for her choices and wore what she wanted. Though vain, she sure is a role model for girls even today because she was not worried about pleasing people but lived on her own terms. Years later, Kareena has been advocating the same doctrine on her radio show: What Women Want. Kareena has already started shooting for Good News with Akshay Kumar which also stars Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani. She and Akshay will be seen as a husband and wife who are trying to have a baby. It would be interesting to see them pair together after so long. ALSO READ: Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Good News gets a release date – details inside http://bit.ly/2HEkyNw

The Kapil Sharma Show 2 – Sania Mirza demands Kapil return her utensils and this is the REASON! The Kapil Sharma Show 2 – Sania Mirza demands Kapil return her utensils and this is the REASON! The Kapil Sharma Show has returned with a bang with a new season and new cast. Joining the team were comedians like Krushna Abhishek and Bharti Singh. Besides them, we can yet again have fun with Bollywood celebs who are flooding the show. From Simmba to Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga cast, many of them have already been a part of it. The next in line is tennis champ Sania Mirza and her sister Anam Mirza. Amidst all the fun and frolic, Sania Mirza and Anam also took us around Hyderabad. Not literally but the two Mirza girls spoke about the famous things in Hyderabad which included language and even the attitude of the city which they described as laidback. In between, they also spoke about the yummylicious biryani that the city boasts of. While the mention of it is said to have made everyone’s mouth water, it seems that Sania did the sweetest gesture of sending out the yum biryani for Kapil some time ago. Kapil Sharma was in Hyderabad quite some time back when he was eager to taste the much talked about special ‘Hyderabadi’ biryani. It seems that Sania Mirza was more than happy to oblige and sent over some special biryani not just for the comedian but for his team. But what she was surprised to note was that her utensils never returned! The sports persona mentioned about the same during the episode where she also stated that everyone including the hotel staff had a taste of the yum biryani she sent across. However, it seems that the utensils got misplaced in all the biryani hoopla. The tennis player asked Kapil to return her utensils that have disappeared since the incident. Knowing the humorous Kapil Sharma, we are currently awaiting his comments on the incident!

While Sara keeps saying that she does find Kartik cute and everything, the Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety actor has different things on his mind currently. The two have cordially met at events where Sara’s Simmba co-star made things awkward from them by very publicly ‘setting them up’ in front of the media. Kartik then went on dinner dates with Ananya Panday and was also signed for a film, Pati Patni Aur Woh remake. Now, Sara was asked about the same and she said that of course she has no problem whatsoever if Kartik and Ananya are dating. She said that she does find him cute but if he thinks that someone else is cute then well, that is good for him! She also said that she is not going to DM him with her address or anything because it will just look desperate. She also said that her mom Amrita Singh said that she should wait and she is going to listen to her. Wow, now that seems like a good girl! Sara has been doing very well professionally and has been making right noise with movies like Simmba and Kedarnath. It is in news that maybe she is being considered for Love Aaj Kal 2 and there are no prizes for guessing that her co-star will be Kartik Aaryan in this one! There isn’t any official announcement on her future projects yet but we want her to do it soon!

Nicknames in Sushant Singh Rajput - Shraddha Kapoor starrer Chhichhore inspired from Nitesh Tiwari’s college life Nicknames in Sushant Singh Rajput - Shraddha Kapoor starrer Chhichhore inspired from Nitesh Tiwari’s college life Writer - director Nitesh Tiwari is currently working on Sajid Nadiadwala’s upcoming Chhichhore with Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead. The filmmaker revealed the names and nicknames of all the characters in the ensemble poster of the film. While one of the characters (Varun Sharma) is called Sexa because he’s always looking to get laid, there’s also one who’s named Acid. The first poster of the film revealed that there are two eras captured in the movie — one set in college (1992) and the other in present time. Sharing the reasons of having quirky names, Nitesh Tiwari said, “I have spent four years in hostel and during my IIT days, it used to be a tradition to call out names and tag people. The nicknames that we gave ranged from being conventional to extremely weird depending on peoples’ names and context behind.” The director further added, “The names you have seen in the poster originate from my hostel but we have tweaked them to suit the characters. For example, ‘Acid’ is a very angst-ridden guy, ‘Mummy’ is the homesick guy and misses his mother the most. The strange thing is that your so-called roomies will always call you by your nicknames or rather, I still do that. I have my friends from IIT Bombay and their nick names are Guppa, Gucci, Puke, B-Zero, Dard Kumar, Skinny, Bhindi, Danda and many more.” The released quirky poster bears the famous Hindi saying 'Kutte ki dum tedhi ki tedhi' and features the cast in two versions - young and old, hinting at an out-of-the-box narrative. The film stars Shraddha Kapoor, Sushant Singh Rajput, Prateik Babbar, Varun Sharma, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Tushar Pandey, Saharsh Shukla & Naveen Polishetty. Fox Star Studios presents a Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment production, Chhichhore is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, co-produced by Fox Star Studios and is directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film is slated to hit theaters on August 30, 2019. ALSO READ: Shraddha Kapoor resumes work; begins with the Sushant Singh Rajput starrer Chhichhore http://bit.ly/2Un9xSj

Kapil Sharma apologizes to our honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi on National Television over the Twitter debacle Kapil Sharma apologizes to our honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi on National Television over the Twitter debacle Before going on a long break, Kapil Sharma stirred many controversies owing to his late night Twitter posts. But one of the major ones was when he took a dig at the honorable Prime Minister on the social media platform over a BMC official asking for bribe. This was followed by a massive outrage where netizens and BJP supporters lashed out on the comedian for making such nasty statements. But it seems all of those were a thing of past, as Kapil Sharma not only met our PM at an event recently but he also went on to apologize to him during the recent episode of his comeback show on National Television during The Kapil Sharma Show. Kapil Sharma was recently seen hosting the cast of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga which included Rajkummar Rao, Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Juhi Chawla on The Kapil Sharma Show. Amidst many jokes and wit crackers, Rajkummar decided to pull Kapil Sharma’s leg by starting off the topic of the Twitter post that he had shared against Modi wherein he had sarcastically taken a jibe on the ‘Achhe Din’ campaign. Here’s a glimpse of the tweets posted by Kapil way back in 2016:   I am paying 15 cr income tax from last 5 year n still i have to pay 5 lacs bribe to BMC office for making my office @narendramodi — KAPIL (@KapilSharmaK9) September 9, 2016   Yeh hain aapke achhe din ? @narendramodi — KAPIL (@KapilSharmaK9) September 9, 2016 Well readers would be aware that the Gen Y stars including Rajkummar Rao had taken off to the capital to meet the PM and discuss about the developments of the film industry. When Kapil enquired about the meeting and asked him if the PM said anything about him, Rao decided to wittily respond by stating that the PM was enquiring about a certain married celeb. While he initially thought it was Virat, Modiji clarified by saying that he was asking about Kapil. The actor further added that he was remembering the comedian, albeit with a tad bit of annoyance. While Kapil Sharma initially dismissed it as a thing of the past, under a little persistence by Juhi Chawla, the comedian went on to speak about it. He apparently stated that the thing called Twitter has created enough mess in his life, followed by which, he apologized to our PM saying ‘Modi Saab Sorry’ during the show. On the other hand, Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is also a part of the show, advised Kapil Sharma to stay away from posting these tweets late at nights. To the same, Kapil Sharma reacted adding that those were his singlehood days. In order to end the controversial topic, Kapil also requested his guests to change the subject.

Amul’s tribute to Vicky Kaushal’s URI: The Surgical Strike will make your Tuesday better! Amul’s tribute to Vicky Kaushal’s URI: The Surgical Strike will make your Tuesday better! Amul has been around for a long time, and just like no one can beat them in their utterly butterly delicious dairy products, their social media game is on point. They have been super active on Twitter and their puns are just perfect. Their recent post is a tribute to Vicky ‘The Hottie’ Kaushal and it is totally worth gushing over! The image that Amul shared has a cute caricature of Vicky and the caption reads ‘Makkhan ka Josh’, not to miss out on the slice of bread butter he’s got a hold of along with his gun in the other hand. Vicky’s last film URI: The Surgical Strike has entered the Rs. 100 crore club and has been loved by the audience and critics alike. The movie is action packed and intense, yet the emotions in the film are high, just like the josh. The actor has been sharing videos of people chanting ‘How’s The Josh?’ in the theatres and it is just endearing to watch all the love pour in. Check out Amul’s tweet and VK’s reaction. The pun game is definitely strong here. #Amul Topical : URI : The Surgical Strike, popular and patriotic movie! pic.twitter.com/ggLxGdiY5A — Amul.coop (@Amul_Coop) January 29, 2019 What an utterly butterly honour! Thank Yiu @Amul_Coop @RahuldaCunha ???????? https://t.co/LFb2PKSMjz — Vicky Kaushal (@vickykaushal09) January 29, 2019 On the work front, Vicky will next be seen in Dharma Productions’ magnum opus, Takht. The multi-starrer is slated to release in 2020 and has Ranveer Singh, Anil Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar and Alia Bhatt among the others.

WHOA! Aamir Khan wants Katrina Kaif to sing a love ballad for Salman Khan at Galaxy Apartments? WHOA! Aamir Khan wants Katrina Kaif to sing a love ballad for Salman Khan at Galaxy Apartments? Katrina Kaif recently appeared on a talk show where she candidly spoke about her personal relationships, which is rare for the leggy beauty. She revealed in detail about her relationship with her director best friend Ali Abbas Zafar and said that if there is one person that understands her in the industry, that is Ali. Ali also said that he thinks there are a lot of similarities between him and Katrina, their families and the way they were brought up. He also said that he has a very transparent relationship with Katrina both on personal and professional level. There also was a segment where another of Katrina’s best friend had a fun challenge for her. Aamir Khan featured on the show and said that if his Thugs Of Hindostan co-star loses to him in a game of chess, she has to come with him to Galaxy Apartments and sing Dil Cheez Kya Hai Aap Meri Jaan Lijiye…now this is a big REVEAL and complete tell-all from Aamir’s side. Isn’t it? Now, we know who stays in Galaxy Apartments and who Aamir is referring to! Katrina and Salman Khan go a long way back and were once dating. Now, they still are closest friends and have also collaborated on many movies including their current one: Bharat. So, it is not surprising that their mutual fans want them to get together off screen as well. Aamir too was indirectly teasing Katrina with the same thing, we are guessing! On a professional front, Katrina walked out voluntarily from Varun Dhawan’s dance drama because her dates were clashing with Bharat and she preferred concentrating on the project at hand.

What the SUCCESSFUL DIRECTORS of Bollywood are making next? What the SUCCESSFUL DIRECTORS of Bollywood are making next? We have come a long way from the times when a Ramesh Sippy, Manmohan Singh and Rajiv Rai made the very similar Shaan, Naseeb and Vishwatma after then super successes of Sholay, Amar Akbar Anthony and Tridev just to cash in, despite their huge talent. We also are well past the era when a Ram Gopal Varma can go back to Bhoot Returns, Sarkar 3 and Satya 2 out of desperation. That is not going to work any more! These are tough times for filmmakers who think just money. And on the contrary, these are fantastic times for those directors who are dedicated only to pleasing the audience, irrespective of genre, scale and star-cast, with something interesting and possibly fresh. Since 2018 was higher than normal on people-friendly cinema, here’s a look at what the successful directors are up to next. And we find that almost all are out to do something different. We begin with Ali Abbas Zafar, who directed the late 2017 Tiger Zinda Hai, which had most of its impressive run in 2018. Ali is now directing the mammoth Bharat, whose teaser is just out. An Eid 2019 release, it spans 60 years of a man’s life along with the same lifespan of India. Clearly, Zafar, who quit Yash Raj Films to work on this project, is sparing no efforts to make this a dramatic entertainer after a rom-com, a love triangle, a sports drama and an action extravaganza. Over to 2018: Sanjay Leela Bhansali (Padmaavat), Rajkumar Hirani (Sanju), R. Balki (Pad-Man), Umesh Shukla (102 Not Out), Siddharth P. Malhotra (Hichki) and Reema Kagti (Gold) have yet to announce their next ventures. Neither have Abhishek Kapoor (Kedarnath) and Sharat Katariya (Sui Dhaaga—Made In India) gone in for their next. Luv Ranjan, director of the super-hit Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, also has yet to confirm whether reports of his next, featuring Ajay Devgn, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone is rolling in November, are true or not. Similarly, Sriram Raghavan, having tasted big success with AndhaDhun, is carefully taking his next steps. While buzz keeps coming, it is said that his next film will not be Badlapur 2, but a war film, tentatively titled Ekkis, on Param Vir Chakra awardee Arun Khetarpal. The genius is treading his ground very carefully to make sure that one more ‘twist’-ed film of his meets up with people’s endorsement. Same same but different Ahmed Khan, who helmed Baaghi 2, had already been signed for Baaghi 3 weeks before the release of that film. Producer Sajid Nadidawala had been very confident, but the proof of the pudding lay in its consumption by the audience. And one fact will be clear now for both parties: the new film will have to be better and different while retaining the spirit—a tough task indeed! Milap Milan Zaveri, after Satyameva Jayate, will also have to put in something kickass in Marjaawan, his next action drama. Having found success in this genre, he certainly cannot take it for granted. Happily, he seems to have reaffirmed conviction in himself and his script by no big star of the level of John Abraham. Sidharth Malhotra, Rakul Preet Singh, Riteish Deshmukh and Tara Sutaria star in the film. Rajkumar Gupta has chosen another exciting real-life drama but no superstar like Ajay Devgn for his next after Raid—India’s Most Wanted. This time he tells the story of a terrorist captured minus a single shot being fired, and could well mark the coming back to reckoning for the flop-riddled Arjun Kapoor. And the badshah of entertaining blockbusters, Rohit Shetty, has already announced Sooryavanshi at the tail-end of Simmba. The intense action drama on an ATS officer marks his first innings with Akshay Kumar. If buzz is to be given credence, it will be followed up with another cop drama, with Salman Khan no less. Rohit spins various plots between one genre with ease when not making a franchise. More surprises from those who surprised us in 2018 Abhishek Sharma, who had a mixed innings before Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran, is now making The Zoya Factor, which he terms a “high-octane, feel-good drama”. Once again, the content is considered the biggest star as the film features Dulquer Salman and Sonam Kapoor—not hot box-office properties at all. Shashanka Ghosh after Veere Di Wedding opts for another light ensemble cast—but of Ratna Pathak Shah, Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher, for the screen adaptation of The Betel Nut Killers. The quirky comedy will revolve around an NRI Gujarati family who runs into two American convicts in the US. Fresh from a debut success in Stree, Amar Kaushik is not looking at the proposed Stree 2 (and Stree 3), but at the Hindi remake of the Marathi National award-winning film on surrogacy, Mala Aai Vhaychay directed originally by the lawyer who fought the case, Samruddhi Porey. Yes, it is again a female-oriented film, but with a strong message. It is conceivable that the protagonist is played by a young and top level actor. In that sense, Meghna Gulzar has struck gold with Deepika Padukone not only accepting her Chhapaak on a real-life acid attack victim but also producing the film. After Raazi, this is a complete shift towards a drama that is topical and has a powerful social message rather than a patriotic one. And gravitating out of necessity towards a superstar (Ajay Devgn) is Badhaai Ho filmmaker Amit Ravindernath Sharma, who is getting into the completely diverse zone of a sports film that will showcase the Golden Era of Indian football. And the 2019 champs It is presumably too early to see what Aditya Dhar (URI: The Surgical Strikes), Kangana Ranaut and Krish will attempt after Mainikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi. Abhijit Panse, of course, has promised us the continuation of Thackeray already. But the bottom-line remains the same: it is after a hit that we need to go on the same way that generated it—value-for-money entertainment and conviction in content. http://bit.ly/2Ro3uuP

“Manikarnika is my baby. Would Sonu Sood or Atul Kulkarni have signed the film if Kangana Ranaut was the director?” – Director Krish finally opens up on his FIGHT with Kangana “Manikarnika is my baby. Would Sonu Sood or Atul Kulkarni have signed the film if Kangana Ranaut was the director?” – Director Krish finally opens up on his FIGHT with Kangana Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi, better known as Krish, finally opens up on all the speculation and controversies regarding his feud with Kangana Ranaut and his ouster from Manikarnika, the Rani Laxmibai epic saga, which seems to have been more exciting behind the scenes than on screen. A lot of speculations about how much of Manikarnika have you directed? You mean what you see on screen? I saw the film. I’d say more than 70 percent is mine. I remained quiet until the release. I had to remain quiet for the sake of the film and for the entire team which worked so hard on the film. But now if I don’t speak about what Kangana did to the film, I’d be doing a disservice to all our hard work. Many people advised me to talk after the film was taken away from me. I’d say what I directed was pure gold. Kangana turned it into silver. Why did you leave the film when it was on the verge of completion? You know, every time I am asked this, my heart sinks to the ground. Let me say this outright. I did not leave the film incomplete. I left it when it was almost complete. I shot Manikarnika for 109 days whereas I completed NTR biopic in half that time. Then we did the dubbing post-production, everything for Manikarnika. Only then did I move to my other commitment (the NTR biopic). For me, the film was complete. Everyone had dubbed except Kangana. Then what happened? Once I finished, she promised to do some patchwork completely under my guidance. She promised she’d shoot for 4-5 days extra and send me all details of the shooting. No such thing happened. And she says she had to re-shoot many portions because my cinematographer Gnana Shekhar had not done a good job. What nonsense is she talking?! Every actor, every technician gave his/her life and breath to their film. This film seems to have taken from you more than it has given? At the end of the day it is my baby. I have seen the film. And I am relieved that the grandeur vision and scale that I imagined for the film remains intact. The climax in Jaipur (doubling up for Gwalior) was shot entirely by me. I charged half of the fee that I get for my Telugu films as I wanted to be a part of this historical attempt to bring Rani Laxmibai’s story to screen. This is the highest number of days I’ve shot for any film. And I’ve directed complex costume dramas like Kanche and Gautamiputra Satarkarni. In Kanche, I had shot five war scenes. So I know the complexities of shooting a period film. We shot a huge battle scene in Hyderabad. We shot in Jaipur and Jodhpur, etc. The film was supposed to release on August 15, 2018. I completed the film in June; only a small portion remained which we agreed to shoot later and then I had to direct the NTR bio-pic since the director who was supposed to do that project was shifted out. Then that whole thing with Sonu Sood happened. What happened? Kangana decided to re-shoot Sonu’s entire portion. He had shot for 30 days! So you can imagine what she wanted to remove. I remember when she saw the first cut the first thing she said even before praising the film was, ‘Sonu Sood is too overpowering na?’ Because as an antagonist, Sonu Sood was very strong. That’s how we had designed the film. For the protagonist to appear powerful, the antagonist has to be strong. In the credits of Manikarnika her name comes first then yours? I must tell you how this whole tamasha of the credits unfolded. In the beginning it was just my name ‘Krish’ on the poster. In fact I remember we released a poster on my birthday November 10. Kangana cut the cake with me, we hugged, etc. Anyway….But on the second poster and in the trailer achanak mera naam Radha Krishan Jagarlamudi ho gaya. Kyon ho gaya? Perhaps to confuse the audience about my identity. I asked why my name was being changed in the poster. She said I hadn’t supported her when Sonu Sood spoke against her so why should she bother. Why should I have supported her, when I knew Sonu was right and he took a stand and said he won’t shoot the film with her? Why did your changed name bother you so much? In Telugu cinema they know me as Krish. Then in the trailer her name came as director after mine. And then at the time of the film’s release her name came first as director, then mine. When I rang her up to confront her. She said, ‘No No I’ve shot so much’. What she did basically was remove Sonu Sood’s role, reduce it substantially and replace him with another actor Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, and then she shot the new actor’s close-ups and inserted them in scenes that I had shot. I am telling you 70 percent of what you see on screen is mine. Please understand, this is my fourth period film. And I was given to do Manikarnika because of what I had achieved in the other three period films. It was (the scriptwriter) Vijayendra Prasadji who called me to direct this film. He had seen my work and knew what I was capable of. In fact I am the one who suggested the title Manikarnika. I read close to twenty books on Rani Laxmibai before directing this film. I worked closely with Vijayendraji. We began shooting at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad after the puja. I was the director. Then Kangana Ranaut …inki himmat toh dekho (look at her guts). When people ask me why I left the film. I get very upset. I didn’t leave. I shot 95 percent of the film. She did her own thing with 5 percent of the film. She did her own thing with Sonu Sood’s role just to satisfy her ego. This is sad? I never wanted a confrontation. I am not that kind of a person. But when I see what was done to my vision I feel very angry and sad. I am talking now regardless of how the film has fared because that’s how I had planned to speak. I remember Sonu Sood’s character was introduced with a kushti (wrestling). Kangana wanted to know why he should do kushti. I wanted the action to be raw and real. Even the fights with the women were designed as raw. Not just Sonu Sood. Look at what happened to Atul Kulkarni’s great character of Tayta Tope? Yes, really sad. This film was not made to glorify Kangana Ranaut. It was mean to extol our great freedom fighters. The film is great even now. But I had made a greater film. She didn’t understand that. She didn’t understand that she couldn’t play God with history. Yeh yahan se nikalo, who yahan dalo…. It doesn’t work that way. She was just an actor in the film. Why did the producer allow her to override your vision? Exactly. The producer should answer that. What authority did she have to remove Sonu Sood? Have you ever heard of anything like this? She was of course the protagonist. But I am a reputed director directing a genre that I know. What gave her the right to tamper with what I did? And the team’s hard work, the sleepless nights, the toil…More than anything else, when you are working on an epic film, it is easy for anyone to come at the last minute and claim credit. Sonu Sood also directed 5 shots. He can also claim to be co-director. The few scenes that needed to be shot after I left were to be done by my assistant director. Suddenly I discovered she is co-director. What happened? You tell me? It was pre-decided, an elaborate plan to undermine my directorial status. On August 15, 2018 I am director. October 1, 2018 I am director. Then suddenly she’s also the director. I argued with the producer Kamal Jain. But he stood by her. I don’t want to say anything about him as he’s in the hospital. What was the necessity of taking out Sonu Sood and doing her own thing? Now that you’ve spoken do you think there will be repercussions? I had to set the record straight. I needed a proper closure for my film. Manikarnika is my baby. Would Sonu Sood or Atul Kulkarni have signed the film if Kangana Ranaut was the director? They put their heart and soul in it. It is my team’s hard work being undermined. It’s not about shooting. It’s about executing. Many people from Mumbai have called to congratulate me. What I made was to perpetuate the phenomenon of Jhansi Ki Rani. Not Kangana Ranaut. Also Read: Manikarnika, Kalank, Kesari: 2019 belongs to period films (Read on) http://bit.ly/2CMuSh0

He also stated that his collaborations with Kashyap often makes him push the envelope beyond and he does enjoy on working with such challenging roles.

Well, Aparshakti Khurrana and Varun Dhawan who are busy shooting dance sequences decided to take to social media to share a glimpse of their look from the film. The duo shared pictures on their Instagram stories. Varun plays a Punjabi boy based in London and his look mainly focuses on his change in hairstyle. The actor went blonde for the film and you can also see him sporting many tattoos. But he has kept his clean shaven look intact for this dance film. On the other hand, Aparshakti Khurrana too plays a Punjabi munda, albeit a Sardar. He is seen sporting a turban too. As for Varun Sharma, his look is yet to be revealed. The film went on floors in Amritsar a couple of weeks ago, where the team is expected to shoot some important scenes and a song-dance sequence. In fact, Varun even performed live at the Wagah border on January 26 for the film. Post shooting here, the team is expected to take off to London and shoot extensively there for the film. Inspired by the Step Up franchise, the yet to be titled film will explore many dance forms and Remo is ambitious about taking dancing to the next level in this. Varun will also reunite with his ABCD 2 leading lady Shraddha Kapoor for this film as it will feature her in the role of Pakistani dancer and it will also star Remo’s regular dancing star Prabhu Deva.

“I am extremely honoured” - Karan Johar represents Bollywood at World Economic Forum in Davos “I am extremely honoured” - Karan Johar represents Bollywood at World Economic Forum in Davos The World Economic Forum (WEF) is held at Davos, Switzerland every year, where the biggest names from the world of business meet and discuss big ideas about the global economy.

He was also the only Bollywood representative at this year’s event that discussed the theme of ‘Globalization 4.0’. Talking about his participation, Karan says, “I am extremely honoured to be invited to the World Economic Forum at Davos, for the third time, as a cultural leader. It’s such an exciting meeting ground that facilitates exchange of ideas, conversations at these world-class forums. It was a fantastic experience this year, where I was part of two very interesting panels that discussed a wealth of such innovative ideas.” When Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently met delegates from the Hindi film industry, he suggested that Indian cinema should also come up with an annual event like the WEF summit.

PADMA SHRI Prabhu Dheva gears up for Dabangg 3 with Salman Khan PADMA SHRI Prabhu Dheva gears up for Dabangg 3 with Salman Khan The very talented and versatile Prabhu Dheva can’t believe he has been awarded the Padma Shri by the  government of India. “It is a most unexpected honour. I am very happy.” There is no time for celebration as Prabhu Dheva is facing the most intense rush hour of his career. “I have five different projects in Tamil as an actor in various stages of completion. And I’ve to finish all my work on them by March because that’s when I start shooting for Dabangg 3,” informs Prabhu Dheva who has once again moved to Mumbai. “I was in Chennai shooting for my Tamil films. But because of Dabangg 3 I’ve moved to Mumbai again. I now visit Chennai for a day, like I did recently for my son’s birthday. Otherwise, I am fully in Mumbai  looking into the pre-production of Dabangg 3.” Prabhu Dheva feels like an outsider in the project. “Everyone associated with Dabangg has already done two films before. I am the newcomer in the franchise.” It remains to be seen what Prabhu does with the franchise. “I am working hard to ensure Dabangg 3 turns out as effective as the previous Dabangg film. Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan have reposed a great deal of trust in me. I can’t afford to let them down.” Prabhu is working round-the-clock to complete his  work as an actor in the five Tamil films. “In a few days I will be done. Then for the next one year, I will be thinking of nothing except Dabanng 3.” In 2008, after a series of flops, Prabhu Dheva brought Salman back into the reckoning with Wanted. Now it seems Prabhu will again succeed  in eradicating the damage done by Race 3 in Salman’s career.

Actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, and Madhuri Dixit attended the event to congratulate the newlyweds. Dressed in a three-piece suit, Shah Rukh looked dapper as ever. While Salman went for more of a look with leather jacket and a t-shirt paired with denims, Big B pulled off an indo-western look clearly giving most of the young actors a run for their money. Check out inside pictures from the reception. It surely was a glamorous night. Here’s congratulating the newly wed couple a happy married life! http://bit.ly/2FS7LWj

“I believe in the director and if he has gone wrong, I have also gone wrong” - Aamir Khan talks about Thugs Of Hindostan's failure “I believe in the director and if he has gone wrong, I have also gone wrong” - Aamir Khan talks about Thugs Of Hindostan's failure After the stupendous success of Dangal and his production Secret Superstar, the audience as always expected Aamir Khan to bring the best to the big screen. With Thugs Of Hindostan, the audience was left disappointed. The film, which starred megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh and was helmed by Vijay Krishna Acharya (Victor), received a lot of negative reviews which led to the failure at the box office. But, Aamir Khan says that it has been a learning experience and moving forward, it will be a lesson for him. The actor has been promoting his production Rubaru Roshni which aired on Star Plus on January 26. During the media interaction on Sunday, Aamir Khan talked about Thugs Of Hindostan’s failure and whether he had forgiven Victor. "I don’t need to forgive Victor. I think every director with who I work with; all directors are good with their good intentions. We all want to make good films but sometimes it doesn’t happen. I’m a team player. If my director has gone wrong somewhere then even I have gone wrong. I believe in the director and if he has gone wrong, I have also gone wrong. There is no problem to accept that. We will learn from our mistakes. The audience has come to watch the film on my name, for that audience, I feel fully and personally responsible," Aamir said. When asked whether the film deserved the unnecessary backlash that came its way, Aamir added, "Many came to me saying that they liked the film. I think the audience has the full right to say exactly what they want and they can be harsh in that criticism, that is their right. If there was a certain amount of harshness, then so be it. It has been a long time that I have not given any flop film (laughs)... good that audience also got a chance to remove their frustration." Meanwhile, Aamir Khan is working on Mahabharat in which he will essay the role of Lord Krishna. While it is unclear whether it will be a movie or a series, the actor has begun prep for the same.

Koffee With Karan 6: Rajkummar Rao on why he isn’t getting married to Patralekhaa, Bhumi Pednekar confesses she wouldn’t mind link up rumour with Aditya Roy Kapur Koffee With Karan 6: Rajkummar Rao on why he isn’t getting married to Patralekhaa, Bhumi Pednekar confesses she wouldn’t mind link up rumour with Aditya Roy Kapur Koffee With Karan season 6 is currently in its final phase. Only a few episodes are left before Karan Johar brings the most awaited finale episode featuring Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Meanwhile, critically acclaimed breakout stars Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar made their debut tonight on KWK and it was all fun and games. Here are some of the interesting revelations the two stars made: 1. Bhumi Pednekar revealed that she was YRF's casting director Shanoo Sharma's assistant when she auditioned for Dum Laga Ke Haisha. She was already over 80 kgs and had to put on 94 kgs weight for the role. 2. Rajkummar Rao talked about his journey from starring in Love, Sex And Dhoka to 100 crore hit Stree. He said not much has changed in him but people have started noticing and giving him work. He revealed that he is a trained martial artist and not many people know about it. 3. It is a known fact that Rajkummar Rao is a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan. He said if he had a chance to do any of SRK's roles, it would be from Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa. 4. Rajkummar Rao even talked about his eight-year relationship with CityLights actress Patralekhaa. When asked about why they aren’t getting married yet, he said, "Honestly, I am not ready to get married yet. We are in a very happy relationship and we are very happy about it. And our parents are not complaining, so there is no pressure to get married. And I think both of us are just busy in our respective careers. Marriage is, not that we don't believe in it, just that right now we don't think it's the right time. It's a mutual thing." 5. When asked whether she has been insecure about him with any of his female co-stars, Rajkummar said, "There have been times she has said, 'Dekho, zara isse sambhal ke rehna'. She is a very broadminded girl. She was brought up in Shillong. They have a spectacular culture. She is a bong from Shillong. But, nothing serious as such. We are best friends actually. I think it's a great thing when your partner is your best friend. You would love to come back home and spend all your wonderful time with your partner. You can share everything - you can have fun, dance, sing, go out to watch a film. It's not about those lovey-dovey talks. It's about discussing everything in life. 6. Bhumi Pednekar revealed that she had auditioned Ranveer Singh, Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon. She thought Raj was okay in his audition. And she revealed that when Disha Patani had auditioned, she was a little raw. She also said that she has auditioned Parineeti Chopra to an extent and she was really good. This was during Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. 7. During rapid fire round, when asked whether she had a crush on a co-actor, she said yes. But, when asked whether it was Ayushmann Khurrana (Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Shubh Mangal Savdhaan), Neil Bhoopalam (Lust Stories) or Akshay Kumar, she did not reveal the name. But, she did agree that everyone would drool over Akshay's fitness during Toilet – Ek Prem Katha. 8. Bhumi said that she was to be paired opposite someone for an extramarital affair, she would pick Vicky Kaushal. But, she was asked to choose between Vicky and Ayushmann Khurrana as the most talented actor, she chose the latter. 9. One actor Bhumi would love to have a link up rumour with is Aditya Roy Kapur. She said, "I think he is very cute." 10. During his rapid-fire round, Rajkummar Rao confessed that if he wasn't dating Patralekhaa, he would take Deepika Padukone on a dinner date. All in all, it was a fun episode with Bhumi Pednekar taking away the Koffee Hamper and Rajkummar Rao winning the game round. The next episode will see the two handsome stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Sidharth Malhotra.

In the day and age of social media, the word spreads fast and Jain obviously took note of Ranveer’s video that had gone viral internationally.

Netizens blast Karan Johar for killing Anushka Sharma's Alizeh in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil as she did not love Ranbir Kapoor back Netizens blast Karan Johar for killing Anushka Sharma's Alizeh in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil as she did not love Ranbir Kapoor back It is a known fact that Karan Johar's last directorial Ae Dil Hai Mushkil starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Fawad Khan was under fire for having a Pakistani actor in the leading role. It was after Uri attacks, protests against his film were made to either ban the film or remove Fawad's role entirely. While the filmmaker apologized and film released with many cuts, the film was still problematic. The reason being Anushka's character Alizeh did not love Ranbir's character and that is why Karan had to kill her. As per his latest interview, Karan Johar was asked about the problematic ending and why Anushka's character had to die in the film. He said that he had drawn inspiration from his own unreciprocated love stories. Her character got punished. He said that a filmmaker is a god - he writes, creates and destroys. In the film, Ranbir's character Ayan was not only aggressive, he did not back off for long time. When asked about the same, Karan said that he did not look at it that way. He thought Ranbir's character Ayan was a puppy who just wanted to be loved and she did not love him back. He just wanted to be loved the way he loved Alizeh. He apologized for the physical aggression and that he had not thought about it earlier. But, he added that he won't be apologetic about Ayan's relentlessness and his love. He believes Ayan was a lover and that he never stopped loving her even after she was gone. He said that Ranbir Kapoor nailed the role. Anushka's character Alizeh could not love or express herself and that manifested into illness. There wasn't an ending to the story and he did not want to go indie on it. So, she had to die due to cancer. But, this theory of him that Alizeh could not reciprocate to Ayan’s feelings did not sit well with the netizens. They blasted the filmmaker for glorifying one sided love story and questioned why the girl had to die in this situation. Also, Karan Johar, this isn’t *love*!!!! This is toxicity. This is abusive. You can’t say that you refuse to apologize for a character being abusive and justifying it by saying it was love. Gross. pic.twitter.com/A1ckLe9hlv — sai (@Saisailu97) January 24, 2019 How is @karanjohar’s take on punishing Anushka’s character for not reciprocating love any different from those men who go around growing acid on women? Do men seriously believe that a woman HAS to love them back in the way they want per force? Misogyny knows no bounds! pic.twitter.com/1B4b1O5XiI — A_Narain (@a_naari) January 25, 2019 Karan Johar saying he killed Anushka in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil to punish her is the most unsurprising and fucked up thing I've read today. pic.twitter.com/3EzePlve7v — Sonia Mariam Thomas (@SoKneeOh) January 24, 2019 Also Read: Karan Johar says Ranveer Singh’s energy is way higher than Ranbir Kapoor and Varun Dhawan’s http://bit.ly/2Mws6Re

Allia Bhatt shares pic of 'her boys’ Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh and Mahesh Bhatt; Ranbir Kapoor is missing Allia Bhatt shares pic of 'her boys’ Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh and Mahesh Bhatt; Ranbir Kapoor is missing Alia Bhatt is all pumped up and raring to go with her next film, Gully Boy and judging by the trailer, we will get to see yet another facet of this talented actress on screen. She was present at the recently held Gully Boy concert in the city and looked ravishing in a srunched up green dress. She took to Instagram recently to share a candid snap of her boys: Ranveer Singh, Mahesh Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan. The snap is from an event and the talented trio is seen having a very intense discussion. We would really have loved to eavesdrop on their talk because while both Shah Rukh and Bhatt Saab are extremely philosophical and experts in various subjects, Ranveer is an actor par excellence. So it is legit to think that these three musketeers must be up to something really interesting, judging by this frame. Also it is rare to see these three personalities in one frame! The picture is taken at an event and we miss Ranbir Kapoor, Alia's boyfriend, in the pic. The two have wrapped Brahmastra and Ranbir is set to dive next to shoot Shamshera with Sanjay Dutt. Alia, on the other hand, wrapped up Kalank with Varun Dhawan and has Takht in the pipeline. We of course are waiting for her crackling Gully Girl act on screen!   View this post on Instagram   my boys ????⭐️ A post shared by Alia ✨⭐️ (@aliaabhatt) on Jan 25, 2019 at 2:06pm PST Alia's last film was Raazi with Vicky Kaushal where she stunned us with her gripping act.

The Bhatts had planned a luncheon of sorts at their residence and post the same, Mukesh Bhatt had also expressed his happiness about his daughter’s marriage. He was also excited to welcome a non-filmy member in the family since Mazahir is not from the Bollywood background and belongs to the digital world.

He had then asserted that the wedding would be happening by the end of 2018 or early 2019. However, he had remained silent on the marriage date. http://bit.ly/2S6bODT

Aamir Khan speaks about his film Rubaru Roshni, explains why he opted for TV instead of Netflix Aamir Khan speaks about his film Rubaru Roshni, explains why he opted for TV instead of Netflix While Thugs Of Hindostan is long gone and forgotten, Aamir Khan wants to dedicate his time for his ambitious series Mahabharata. Before he starts work on it, the actor decided to present something unique yet relatable. In the recent posts, the actor was seen making references to Rubaru Roshni that will go on air on Republic Day. Unlike reports of it being a show, let us tell you it’s a film. Well, it may not feature Aamir Khan but it will definitely feature characters from real life. Expect this Khan to do something different! Rubaru Roshni is expected to a tele-short film featuring three different stories [in an anthology of sorts] that has changed the course of history. However, Khan reveals a different perspective wherein he asserts that the film quintessentially revolves around forgiveness and the concept of forgiving oneself to forgive others. Aamir Khan, in one of the promos of Rubaru Roshni, had revealed that the film follows the tagline, Dil Pe Lagegi Tabhi Baat Banegi. Keeping up with the same, the actor also spoke about letting go of things and how it gives you peace. While further details on the film are currently being kept under wraps, the actor assured that the film will definitely leave you with a feeling of a lump in your throat. Rubaru Roshni is expected to go air on Star Plus on January 26 at 11am in the morning. The actor reasoned in reports that his idea of choosing it Republic Day for this was because it was a national holiday and everyone can see it. On the other hand, he also explained on why he decided to choose TV instead of the digital medium. He mentioned that even though Netflix wanted to acquire the film, he wanted a wider reach for the film because of its social message. After it premieres on TV, the film will soon find its way to Hotstar [the digital medium for Star shows] and then, three months later; it will also feature on Netflix.

Luka Chuppi to Salaam Namaste: Bollywood & the ‘un-conventional’ concept of live-in relationships Luka Chuppi to Salaam Namaste: Bollywood & the ‘un-conventional’ concept of live-in relationships The trailer of Dinesh Vijan’s Luka Chuppi has just dropped and we are sure impressed with the storytelling, hilarious dialogues and the chemistry between the ‘fresh’ pair Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon. While Luka Chuppi is all about a couple daring to opt for a ‘live-in’ relationship in the hinterlands of the country. The fun trailer shows how Kartik and Kriti are forced to live in with their parents and fake marriage. This concept is not new to Bollywood. Before this, there have been movies made about this relatively ‘hip’ cultural phenomenon but here’s what has changed in its portrayal over the years. 1: Salaam Namaste: Salaam Namaste was arguably the first film made where the leads Preity Zinta and Saif Ali Khan stayed in a live-in relationship, far away from home in Australia. The subject was considered ‘bold’ about 12 years ago when the film released and it showcased Preity’s character getting pregnant in the film and there was a whole portion where the female lead when through guilt to terminate the unplanned pregnancy and even called herself ‘selfish’ to choose her own life sans family and not marry. In the end, the male lead played by Saif graciously accepts the mother and her babies and proposes to her for marriage. It is very interesting here to note that the makers chose a very ‘western’ milieu to tell their tale and stressed upon the significance of marriage, as an eventual progression to a live-relationship.   2: Wake Up Sid: Stark contrast to Salaam Namaste, this Ranbir Kapoor slice of life film which released in 2009 showcased Ranbir and Konkona Sen Sharma’s characters staying together but only as friends. Everything about their arrangement was ‘platonic’ in the beginning. In the Ayan Mukherji’s film, the characters found themselves while getting to know each other in a very romantic, yes, but in a bit of a vanilla manner which worked very well for the narrative, overall. Interestingly, again, the film was set in Mumbai and highlighted lives of urbane, upper-class youngsters going through a bit of an existential crisis.   3: Cocktail: Cocktail, which came three years after Wake Up Sid was also set outside India and targeted the diaspora living in London. While this film was a game changer of sorts for Deepika Padukone, the plot was largely based on love and friendship shared between the three leads: Saif Ali Khan, Deepika and Diana Penty. Essentially a love triangle, the Homi Adajania directorial traces the changing equations between the male lead and the two female leads after they start living together. The film starts off with Saif and Deepika living together, romantically till their equations change after a third person is introduced. Marking pattern here, even Cocktail was set far away from the country and thus implying that the idea of live in in the core parts of India still was unthinkable.   4: Shuddh Desi Romance: Things changed drastically after Yash Raj Films’ Shuddh Desi Romance came out in 2013. No longer did the makers need to show glitzy foreign or urban locations to showcase this concept. For the first time, a film about live-in was made which was extremely rooted, just like its name suggested. The main characters of this Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra and Vaani Kapoor starrer lived and behaved like us. The film was set in a two-tier town in Rajasthan and was very earthy in its appeal. This is was a clear game changer in the approach of ‘New India’ where the significance of marriage was not stressed nor were the female characters made to feel any guilt over pre-marital sex or living in without the ‘license’.   5: Ok Jaanu: Mani Ratnam’s Hindi adaptation from his Tamil hit Ok Kanmani again had a different take on this concept.  The young couple who prioritize their careers over marriage decide to live in, but with an older married couple. Ratnam tries to bridge the generation gap by showing a young couple trying to evolve in their relationship in their own way, under the approval and guidance of an old married couple. Even this film is set in Mumbai, and the end sees the two leads getting married. Also Read: Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan to star in Love Aaj Kal 2? http://bit.ly/2WgLwOt

Patralekhaa and Rajkummar Rao's eight year long love story is absolute relationship goals Patralekhaa and Rajkummar Rao's eight year long love story is absolute relationship goals It is known that Citylights stars Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa have been together for a while now. While most couple's do not accept their relationship, these two have always been open about their relationship. But, no one actually knew how it all began. Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa's love story began with mutual admiration and love for each other. Speaking to Humans of Bombay, Patralekhaa opened up about her eight-year-long relationship with Rajkummar Rao.  However, it was not love at first sight as Patralekhaa initially thought he was a weird guy. Here's the post: "I saw him for the first time in LSD. I thought the weird guy he played was actually what he was like. My perception of him was tarnished! He told me later, that he first saw me in an ad & thought, ‘I’m going to marry her.’ It was so ironic! Once we began working together–it was magic. The kind of passion he had was powerful & I couldn’t respect him any more than I did then! We spoke about our work, love for cinema, passions… I saw him through his struggles, never giving up. How could we not fall for each other? We didn’t officially go on dates, but we’d go for drives, movies, or just sit at home. We accompanied each other for auditions, just for support. All we needed was that understanding. He’d often go out of his way for me. Once he was late to see me, so he ran all the way from the airport to Juhu! Not only that, but when we weren’t earning much, he gifted me my favorite bag–it was so expensive! Years later, someone stole it in London! I called him sobbing–for me, it was about the memories. He’d bought it for me when he didn’t have much. Later, at our hotel, the exact same bag was waiting for me. These little things make me realize how lucky I am for him. And the best part is, he always says he’s the lucky one. Isn’t that what a relationship needs? To remind each other how grateful we are? He told me once that after I met his mom, she said, ‘I have a feeling she’s the last one I’m meeting.’ She was right–we’ve been together for 8 years. We’re equals–when an article said, ‘Rajkumar with his girlfriend, Patralekhaa’, he retweeted–‘Patralekhaa with her boyfriend Rajkumar.’ I can tell you this, when you find the one–through the fights, hurdles & chaos, you should never forget to let them know you love them. It doesn’t have to be with expensive gifts & dates–it can simply be with the way you hold them while they need it & when they don’t. For us, we don’t know what the future holds, but this, being together, is enough.” HoB with Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga bring you unexpected & heartwarming love stories which show that love is love & the world would be a better place if we #LetLoveBe." On the work front, Rajkummar Rao is starring in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga which also stars Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and Juhi Chawla. The film is set to release on February 1, 2019.

But, that’s not all. It is now clashing with Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra’s Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. This is the third time that Arjun will be seen romancing Parineeti. It was slated to release in 2018, but got delayed. Helmed by Dibakar Banerjee, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar is a romantic comedy while Sonchiriya is more of a serious genre. Now that both the movies are releasing on the same day, it will be exciting to see which movie puts up a better fight.

Poor guy has been suffering from Chicken Pox for the past few days and finally addressed the reason behind his absence. Ishaan recently debuted under the Dharma banner with Dhadak. The remake did not fare well on the box office as, Sairat, the original did. He was last seen on Koffee With Karan along with his brother, Shahid Kapoor.

Total Dhamaal seems like a RARE kid-friendly flick; will it be 2019’s FIRST 200 crore grosser? Total Dhamaal seems like a RARE kid-friendly flick; will it be 2019’s FIRST 200 crore grosser? If you a look at the list of highest grossing Hollywood films over the years, there’s a phenomenon that you’ll find repeating itself every year. Most of the films in these coveted lists are kid-friendly films. This doesn’t mean that all those flicks are targeted only at the children. These are essentially family entertainers and appeal to everyone from the ages of 8 to 80 and even beyond! Now, let’s take a look at some of the highest-grossing films of Bollywood. Instantly, one will realize that there have been a handful of movies like Golmaal Again, Judwaa 2, 2.0, Housefull 3, Simmba, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Stree, Baaghi 2 etc that could be counted in the kid-friendly genre category. Even then, they were not entirely meant for children, except for Golmaal Again, with the rest having sensibilities or content that was more or less meant for adult viewers. This is quite unfortunate as there’s a huge market out there and we are not tapping into it. And it’s absolutely important we do so in today’s times when the need is to make big grossers and get audiences in theatres, lest they find solace on Netflix or Amazon Prime or in Hollywood films. However, an upcoming film is finally all set to cater to the bacchas and at the same not neglect the crucial youth and family audience. And that movie is none other than Total Dhamaal. It’s an adventure comedy set amidst wild animals, jungles, autorickshaw-turned-choppers etc. The first look stills and posters had already indicated that the makers have a winner in their hands. And now that the theatrical trailer is out, it is now confirmed that Total Dhamaal can do loads of dhamaal at the box office! The humour is clean and physical and can certainly impress the audiences. Moreover, incorporating apes, tigers, lions etc and designing funny moments around them is a great idea as it can make for a fun watch. There’s a lot more that’s going in the favour of Total Dhamaal. It’s the part of the much-loved Dhamaal franchise. The first part, Dhamaal [2007] was also a hit among kids, and was a rare commercial Hindi biggie with no heroines. Total Dhamaal [2011] was funny but underwhelming and thankfully it didn’t impact the franchise in any way. The star cast is also quite exciting as it consists of the Dhamaal regulars (except Ashish Chowdhry) – Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and Jaaved Jaaferi. Sanjay Dutt too was seen in the first 2 parts but he has given this film a miss. But no worries as three prominent stars have stepped in – Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit! These factors have also contributed to the buzz surrounding to the film and with the trailer being so entertaining, the hype is going to go many notches higher! The last 2 years proved that if content is strong and entertainment is in abundance, then the audience can come in hordes. Films like Golmaal Again, Padmaavat, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Baaghi 2, Sanju, Stree, Badhaai Ho, Andhadhun etc performed better than the expectations. As a result, Total Dhamaal can also surprise. The opening surely would be huge, even though it releases on a non-Holiday Friday, on February 22. It has no major competition till the release of Kesari on March 21. Hence, it has one full month to excel and sustain at the box office. Hence, don’t be surprised if this one crosses not just the Rs. 100 crore mark, but even the Rs. 200 crore mark! It’s important that films like Total Dhamaal become big successes. It would inspire more filmmakers to attempt such funny, pan-India, grand and simple entertainers and that’s the need of the hour. Here’s wishing Total Dhamaal is true to its name and sets the box office on fire!

Vidya Balan’s look in NT Kathanayakudu – NT Rama Rao’s biopic unravelled Vidya Balan’s look in NT Kathanayakudu – NT Rama Rao’s biopic unravelled Vidya Balan was last seen playing the role of Basavatarakam, NTR’s wife. Her look in the film was highly appreciated for her uncanny features compared to her muse. NT Kathanayakudu as a film did not do very well at the box office, which was disappointing considering his humongous fandom. Balan’s stylist Rick Roy recently opened up about the difficulties in conquering this challenge. Rick admitted that getting Vidya’s look right from Basava’s younger days was one of the biggest challenges he faced. One of the major reasons being, there were no pictures of her from those days for reference. Roy had to spend time with NTR’s family to find out more about her. He thoroughly studied the styles preferred in those days and cross checked with the team for its authenticity. When he found out that Basava preferred handloom silk sarees that are not available easily these days, he travelled to Chennai back and forth nine times to make sure he had them right. Now, that is some level of dedication! What’s your take on Vidya’s look in the movie? Also Read: Vidya Balan’s father hospitalized after suffering a heart attack http://bit.ly/2sJhp50

“Rap used to naturally excite me!” Ranveer Singh on his chart-busting success as a hip-hop artist in Gully Boy “Rap used to naturally excite me!” Ranveer Singh on his chart-busting success as a hip-hop artist in Gully Boy Ranveer Singh has wowed us all with his incredibly versatile acting but little did we know that he would become a singing sensation overnight! Ranveer has become a rapper/hip-hop artist for Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy and has sung 4 songs in the album. Two of the tracks – ‘Asli Hip Hop’ and ‘Apna Time Aayega’ have broken the internet and has become chart-busters, making Ranveer the first actor ever to be accepted as a rapper in India. Talking about his new-found success as a hip-hop artist, Ranveer says, “Hip-hop is something that’s very alive inside me and always has been ever since I was a kid. I have a natural affinity and inclination towards it and I was thrilled to be in Zoya’s film because I had always wanted to do such a film.” Of course, Ranveer’s success as a singer was years in making. People close to Ranveer have always maintained that he was so passionate about hip-hop that he used to constantly practice and perfect his rapping skills since he was a teenager. Ranveer reveals he was hooked on to hip-hop ever since he was a child. “Rap used to naturally excite me. I think it was 3rd/4th standard when I first got into hip hop. I loved listening to Snoop Dog, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G growing up and I have been into that kind of music ever since. I used to watch a lot of MTV and that’s where I first experienced it. There is a cousin of mine who migrated to the US and whenever he used to come down for summer holidays used to bring this music and we used to sit and hear it all the time,” he says. He reveals rap legends Tupac and Eminem have inspired him and has shaped the hip-hop artist in him. “I think Tupac’s ‘All Eyez on Me’ was the first album that I had mugged up. And of course, when Eminem made this debut with ‘My name Is’ he completely blew my mind. I very closely followed his music and he became one of my most favourite artists of all time,” Ranveer says. Ranveer’s earlier fashion statements were also inspired by the rappers. He reveals, “I used to go through phases where I used to dress like rappers also – wear baggy jeans, oversized jerseys.” The love for Rap seeped into Ranveer’s DNA and he made the most out of it. “Even when I was a copy writer, everything that I used to write used to have a rhyme scheme to it. So, being a fan of the music, I developed an ability to write in a rhyme scheme! Some of the language and some of the themes in this kind of music was frowned upon by elders, by teachers, but it was that inherent voice of rebellion in N.W.A’s music, in Ice Cube’s music, Dr. Dre’s music that really used to get me excited!” he says. Gully Boy, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt and helmed by Zoya Akhtar, is slated to release on February 14, 2019.

“I only know one Modi in the BJP, the action hero our Prime Minister the honourable Narendra Modiji” - Shatrughan Sinha “I only know one Modi in the BJP, the action hero our Prime Minister the honourable Narendra Modiji” - Shatrughan Sinha From one Modi to another, Shatrughan Sinha, in this exclusive interview with Subhash K Jha, challenges his detractors, many of them from his own parent party, with a line taken from actor Sohrab Modi. There is a lot of speculation about your political future? Would it be correct to say you are done with the BJP? Susheel Modi seems to think so? Who is this Modi? I only know one Modi in the BJP. The real action hero our Prime Minister the honourable Narendra Modiji. Who are these small fry to tell me what to do? Yeh bujhte hue diye itna phad-phada kyon rahe hain? Tell them to please find some other way to get publicity rather than by using my name. As for leaving the party, let the high command say it. I will leave at once. At a rally that you attended with Ms Mamta Banerjee, you all but declared her the next Prime Minister? She is certainly the perfect fit for the job. Look at her struggles and sacrifices for her state. She has risen from the grassroots and she cares for the poor and the underdogs. Inaction has driven our current Prime Minister away from the masses. The people are angry. They feel let-down. So you see Mamta Banerjee as the next prime minister? Yes, why not? Lekin abhi Dilli dur hai. We need to focus on the current political crisis in our country. Which is what the gathbandhan is trying to do. You are being criticized by the BJP for not announcing your candidate for prime minister? Arrey wah, there are states where the candidate for chief minister has not been announced by them. As the great Sohrab Modi said in the film Yehudi: Tumhara khoon, khoon hamara khoon, pani? Who karen toh raas leela, hum karen toh character dheela? This politics of double standards has brought the country to the brink of disaster. So do you admit you don’t have a prime ministerial candidate? On the contrary we have several potential prime ministers in our ranks whereas they have only one face and only one candidate. So who are the political players you are planning to align yourself with and are we going to hear of a new political party from you? Let the holy festival of Basant Panchami arrive. Everything will be clear. In the meanwhile everyone can see who my political allies are, be it Mamta Banerjee or Arvind Kejriwal. These are people with whom I share a mutual respect. For any political alliance to work there should be respect within the ranks.

Sara Ali Khan still can’t believe that Kareena ‘Poo’ Kapoor is her stepmom Sara Ali Khan still can’t believe that Kareena ‘Poo’ Kapoor is her stepmom Sara Ali Khan has been making all the right moves by having correct attitude and oodles of talent on the big screen. Her first two films: Kedarnath and Simmba have already made the right noise at the box office and an image of a bubbly, vivacious Sara Ali Khan has been etched in the audiences’ minds. Sara has since then been on a lot of television shows and award functions and we really dig her personality and confidence. In her latest interview with Famously Filmfare, she opened up about having Kareena Kapoor Khan as her step mother. She claimed how people close to her claimed that she has willed the universe for this to happen because she is Kareena’s biggest fan and has been completely enamoured with her on screen Poo persona. Sara said on the show, “People tell me you have willed this to happen. You have been such a die-hard Kareena fan that you have willed her into your life... And this is what you get.” Kareena has been close to both Sara and her brother Ibrahim Ali Khan. Sara said that Bebo never tried becoming their mom because they had one. Instead she has been their friend and guide. Kareena even is instrumental in inspiring Sara to become an actress and also had full confidence in her talent. While Sara Ali Khan has reportedly not signed any film yet after Simmba and Kedarnath, it has been touted that she is being considered for an Imtiaz Ali film opposite her real life crush Kartik Aaryan.   View this post on Instagram   Watch @saraalikhan95 get candid like never before in the next episode of #FamouslyFilmfare season 2, this Sunday, 7:30 PM, only on @colorsinfinitytv. @jiteshpillaai | @americanexpress | @mynykaa A post shared by Filmfare (@filmfare) on Jan 21, 2019 at 12:38am PST Also Read: Malaika Arora and Sara Ali Khan are going to give you major FITNESS goals!

He has two super diverse and interesting projects lined up back to back and we can’t help but get all piqued about these projects. While he will be seen in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga with daughter Sonam Kapoor, he will reunite with 90s co-star Madhuri Dixit in Total Dhammal. The trailer of this multistarrer dropped today and the entire team had gathered to launch the same. At the event, he was asked about his recent meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he was all praises for him and said that he inspires him. Anil, at the event, said, “It was wonderful meeting him. I had been wanting to meet him since he was the chief minister of Gujarat but it never happened. There are certain meetings which are destined. So, I was fortunate and had the privilege and honour to meet him. It was very inspirational. I have never seen someone working so hard.” He was asked a key question about whether Prime Minister Modi would get re-elected for the second term to which he gave a very diplomatic reply. He said, “That's for all of us (to decide), we will see. This is not a political platform." Not just Anil Kapoor, a lot of Bollywood actors like Vicky Kaushal, Rajkummar Rao, Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, among others met the PM recently.

Rocketry: The Nambi Effect - R Madhavan SHOCKS with his transformation as ISRO scientist Nambi Narayan Rocketry: The Nambi Effect - R Madhavan SHOCKS with his transformation as ISRO scientist Nambi Narayan Just a day ago we had reported that R Madhavan took over the directorial reigns for the first time with Rocketry: The Nambi Effect after its director Ananth Mahadevan parted ways owing to creative differences. Now that he is directing and starring in the film, the actor is sparing no efforts to make it look perfect. He recently gave us a glimpse of his avatar as Nambi Narayanan. It seems that the recently posted picture of R Madhavan on Instagram has caught everyone's attention as the actor has left everyone shell-shocked with his transformation as ISRO scientist Nambi Narayan. Following the incredible story of the mind behind ISRO’s project of making India numero uno in the space satellite market, Rocketry has been a passion project for R Madhavan ,who not only worked on the script for three and a half years but also on his look for two and a half years. Talking about his look, R Madhavan said, "The process took painfully long… about 2 days of sitting on a chair for 14 hours at a stretch. Initially, it looked easy but later I realized how tough it was on the body." He added, "The look is definitely half the battle won but the other half was really really tough because the age group I'm playing is around 70-75. Mr. Nambi is a very good looking man and he has got his own charm and charisma so it took me around 2 and a half years to actually imbibe him and learn how to walk like him. It wasn't easy and it's probably one of the toughest looks and characters I've had to pull off.” While everyone on the set couldn't stop raving about Madhavan's look as Mr. Narayanan and with the uncanny resemblance, the biggest encouragement came from Nambi Narayanan himself. R Madhavan revealed, "Nambi sir couldn't stop laughing and getting amused by my look. There are so many pictures on the set that it looks almost eerie how similar we both look".   View this post on Instagram   After 14 hrs on the chair..

When newbie Shahid Kapoor made Karisma Kapoor do 15 RETAKES while shooting for Dil Toh Pagal Hai When newbie Shahid Kapoor made Karisma Kapoor do 15 RETAKES while shooting for Dil Toh Pagal Hai Bollywood truly is a funny industry. It is a small world out here where fates of actors change every Friday and their interpersonal dynamics too shift rapidly. Shahid Kapoor who has dated Kareena Kapoor Khan in the past had an interesting anecdote to share about her big sister, Karisma Kapoor. He was being interviewed for the Famously Filmfare show where he recalled a rather fascinating incident from the time he was just starting out in the industry. Shahid was a background dancer as a part of Shaimak Davar’s dance troupe and was one of the dancers in Karisma Kapoor’s song ‘Le Gai Le Gai’ from Dil Toh Pagal Hain. Apparently, he was slightly off beat, and he blamed his hair cut for the same. Because of this, Karisma had to do 15 retakes and she noticed him after she got to know that it was because of him that this happened! Shahid said, “There was one guy who was slightly offbeat. I swear, with really big hair on his head, that’s me. I remember I won’t call her Karisma because that time she was Karisma Kapoor, had to do 15 retakes because of me. And, once she turned back and said ye kaun hai? Kaun Hai Ye? And, I was like hiding myself and saying main nahi hoon, main nahi hoon. I had just joined Shyamak Davar and my hair used to settle down half a beat after I settled down. So, it was actually not my fault. It was just the length of my hair.” Shahid Kapoor is all set to impress us with his portrayal of Kabir Singh in the Arjun Reddy biopic. He will be romancing Kiara Advani in the film.

A couple of days ago, she announced her Youtube Original If I Could Tell You Just One Thing. “With this #10yearchallenge taking over the internet, it's got me thinking about the past ten years of my life, like probably all of you. So much has changed! Not just my hair or my clothes (or my husband!), but in how I see the world. How I understand myself. In these 10 years, with everything I’ve done, I realized that it’s my curiosity in others that has led me to grow into who I am today. So I decided to feed my curiosity by starting a journey where I will meet some extraordinary people. I am a lifelong learner and I am always seeking inspiration. Help me navigate my way through this journey as I ask my peers, role models, and friends -- #JustOneThing,” Priyanka wrote on her Instagram.

Here’s why Shweta Bachchan Nanda says she TOLERATES Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Here’s why Shweta Bachchan Nanda says she TOLERATES Aishwarya Rai Bachchan The Bachchans have been the first family of Bollywood. This weekend, the Bachchan siblings: Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Abhishek Bachchan appeared on the Koffee With Karan couch and had a lot of beans to spill. They not only had oodles of fun pulling each other’s leg but also made some serious revelations about their family dynamics. Now we know that there were many rumours about an alleged rift Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan a while ago but Shweta, at the chat show, quashed all the rumours by claiming that she admires Ash for being a fantastic mother, is self-made and is a strong woman. But she also truthfully answered what irritates her the most about her in a rapid fire session. She said that she tolerates that Ash takes forever to return her calls or messages. Now, Ash is known to be slightly introvert and in her own zone. She also leads a pretty busy life and therefore it is possible to get caught in work and not able to return calls. But overall it looks like both Shweta and Ash have a pretty chilled out relationship, unlike what rumour mills suggest. On work front, Shweta has launched her own design label with Monisha Jaising called MXS and has been seen quite a lot in the limelight lately. Abhishek on the other hand came on screen after a long time with Manmarziyaan and has been working on Gulab Jamun with wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He spoke why he took such a long sabbatical and the reason he came back on screen with Anurag Kashyap’s movie. Shweta also credited Karan Johar her plunge into fashion and inspiring her to charter new territories.

While they have not officially accepted being in a relationship, both of them have indirectly confirmed about it via their online PDA. Not only that, the actress often flies to New York with him and his family as Rishi Kapoor is getting treatment there. Around the New Year, she joined Ranbir and his family for the celebration. We have now come across a new picture in which Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have posed together. A couple of weeks ago, both of them returned to Mumbai from NYC. They clicked a picture with an Air Hostess when they boarded a flight while returning back to Mumbai from New York. Alia rocked a denim jacket over a t-shirt with studded sunglasses whereas Ranbir looked handsome in a tee, jacket, cap and black shades. Besides these two films, Alia Bhatt will be seen in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy starring alongside Ranveer Singh. The film is set for Valentine’s Day 2019 release.

Koffee With Karan 6: Shweta Bachchan’s remarkable transformation from an awkward ‘OUTSIDER’ to Bonafide Bollywood celeb (Watch videos) Koffee With Karan 6: Shweta Bachchan’s remarkable transformation from an awkward ‘OUTSIDER’ to Bonafide Bollywood celeb (Watch videos) It has been exactly 15 years ago that Shweta Bachchan Nanda made her debut on television with Simi Garewal’s Randezvous chat show. She was clearly too reticent to face the camera and looked a little conscious of being the only ‘non actor’ in the family. Well now that has changed gradually and how! One can now say that she is now more than comfortable with the paparazzi and has been seen carrying her status as a bonafide  Bollywood celeb with aplomb, grace and oodles of confidence. In the Koffee With Karan episode which aired over the weekend, she was funny, graceful, elegant and totally held on to her own ground with the industry biggie Karan Johar, who also happens to be her childhood friend and of course her baby brother Abhishek Bachchan. Here’s what has changed with Shweta over the last 15 years, since she made her first television appearance! 1: Her gradual comfort with the paps Shweta has been spending a lot more time in Mumbai as opposed to Delhi where she settled in after her marriage. She is pretty easy and confident despite being clicked quite regularly. Earlier, there was very little seen or heard of her but with advent of the paparazzi culture and social media, she is in news but it is just not that for Shweta sure knows how to stay relevant without trying too hard.   2: Her plunge as a writer in mainstream media Shweta’s first brush with popularity came after she launched her own column in a mainstream newspaper. That was the first time when people began to see her more than a famous actor’s daughter. She carved her own niche and established herself as a thinker.   3: Appearance on television shows Gradually, Shweta has been more open to chat shows and has eased up in front of camera too. After her first interview with Simi Garewal, she has been open about doing magazine covers, subsequent interviews and not to mention television appearances.   4: Launching her own label Shweta Bachchan’s major breakthrough was when she launched her fashion label with Monisha Jaising, MXS. That proved that she was ready to chart new waters and explore herself.   5: A brief brush with the camera with papa Amitabh Bachchan One thing that was highly unlikely of Shweta to do was to share space with dad Amitabh Bachchan in an advertisement! That was when we knew she had broken her shell and has come into her own. http://bit.ly/2sMyyLb

“Initially Salman Khan was NOT a part of ‘Munni Badnaam’ in Dabangg” – reveals Sonu Sood “Initially Salman Khan was NOT a part of ‘Munni Badnaam’ in Dabangg” – reveals Sonu Sood Sonu Sood was recently seen essaying a villainous role in the Ranveer Singh starrer Simmba. Post the smash success of the film, Sood was in an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama talking about the success of Simmba, his past film and of course his forthcoming ventures including Dabangg 3. In the conversation, talking about the hit track ‘Munni Badnaam’ from Dabangg, Sonu revealed that Salman Khan was initially NOT a part of the song! Revealing this detail, Sood added, “Munni Badnaam was very special. I remember when that song was there, and Salman Khan was initially not a part of that song. In fact, when I signed the film I told Arbaaz Khan that I want a song in the film, so ‘Munni Badnaam’ was added. Initially it was not there in the script, and Arbaaz asked, ‘Yaar gaana kahan dale hum log?’ and Abhinav was a friend, he was an AD to Mani Ratnam in Yuva, and he recommended doing an item number that happens at Sonu’s character’s hideout, and that’s how ‘Munni Badnaam’ was added. Then later three to four days before the shoot of the song, I got a call from Abhinav saying he had some good and bad news. So I asked for the good news first and he told me that all the shots I wanted were there, and then came the bad news, that Salman would also feature in ‘Munni Badnaam’. I was little apprehensive at first because that was supposed to be my solo number, but then I said it is better that Salman is also there and the song itself was gaining popularity, so yeah it would all work for the film.” Continuing with the same, Sonu Sood went on to add that following Salman Khan’s addition to the song, a lot of it was improvised and the script of the film was altered too.

Here's why the father - daughter duo Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor chose to do Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga Here's why the father - daughter duo Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor chose to do Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga brings the father-daughter duo Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor together on screen for the first time. The unusual and unique script of the film played the big role to bring this duo together. As the major chord of the film touches upon the issue of the society which needs to be told and has intense bonding between father-daughter, this was the biggest reason that drew Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor to do the film Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. The story of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga will be instrumental in pushing the queer conversation forward in India. Representation of the LGBTQ community on celluloid has been a tedious one and with this film, it will be a great concept and lesson to be shared with all the parents out there. From showing homosexual characters onscreen ridden with stereotypes and used only as fillers, the identity of a gay person has evolved manifold in the Indian film industry and Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga breaks all the stereotype with the mainstream story with a pinch of a twist. Fox Star Studio presents Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and is directed by Shelly Chopra Dhar. This film also marks as a debut film of Shelly Chopra Dhar. Starring Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Juhi Chawla, the film is slated to release on 1st February 2019.

Koffee With Karan 6 – From Shweta Bachchan Nanda’s reaction to Navya Naveli entering the film industry to Abhishek Bachchan being the bed wetter, skeletons tumble out of the closet in this episode! Koffee With Karan 6 – From Shweta Bachchan Nanda’s reaction to Navya Naveli entering the film industry to Abhishek Bachchan being the bed wetter, skeletons tumble out of the closet in this episode! The Bachchan family is one of the most influential families in Bollywood – that is a fact known to all. However, there is also an element of intrigue when it comes to them. This time around, Koffee With Karan 6, after trying many permutations and combinations in the past few seasons, decided to bring together the Bachchan siblings on the couch together. And not surprisingly, there were some skeletons that stumbled out of the closet. Well, the episode started on a nostalgic note with Karan Johar sharing his childhood memories with the Bachchans since he has grown up with them. After their arrival, soon the conversation drifted about Shweta Bachchan Nanda, who has started to come to limelight of late as a designer and much more recently, as an author. She has been exploring the periphery of industries related to entertainment but has never completely ventured into acting. One of the reasons, as stated by her during the show, is that she doesn’t believe she has what it takes to be an actor. Well, obviously favouritism too was one of the integral conversations and it seems that Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan Nanda are an apt example of Daddy’s Girl and Mama’s Boy. It's settled! There's a clear Mama's boy and Daddy's girl in the Bachchan house. #KoffeeWithKaran #KoffeeWithBachchans A post shared by Star World (@starworldindia) on Jan 20, 2019 at 7:49am PST The conversation also shifted to her daughter Navya Naveli who has suddenly started acquire fame and her social media persona seem to have already garnered a fan following. The worried mother however discussed the pros and cons and the heartbreaks that the industry can give. Shweta, very honestly, spoke about the way she has seen the other side of Bollywood wherein the actors, who are showered with praises, also face disappointment and frustration when their career doesn’t take off as expected. Her candid revelation was also mixed with her concern as a mother wherein she asserted that she wouldn’t want her daughter to go through those off days when things don’t work out the way it should. Yet, she was quick to add that she will always support her decision of doing what she likes. Right during the middle of this conversation, there was a moment when Karan ended up spilling coffee on him and Shweta reacted quite instinctively. That was the moment when Karan gave a glimpse of her OCD about hygiene and cleanliness. He later went on to speak about it in a later segment of the show, wherein he also revealed that his BFF, that is Shweta also has a compulsive disorder to message and WhatsApp people. On the other hand, the topic also focused on Abhishek and his dynamics with Amitabh Bachchan as a father as well as a megastar. The actor uninhibitedly confessed that both his parents are his tough critics. And that Amitabh never minces words before telling Abhishek about his films. However, his reaction after watching Manmarziyaan was quite emotional. According to what Shweta Nanda said, the megastar got emotional after watching Abhishek in the film, so much that he ended up crying. Amidst all the talks, there was also a long discussion about the relationship that Jaya Bachchan shares with the paparazzi. Junior AB and Shweta spoke about the actress’ claustrophobic feelings when she is surrounded by camera. However, Abhishek was quick to defend saying that now she has become much better. Speaking of her fear of paparazzi, Abhishek revealed that now cameramen themselves ask her to move ahead. The discussion soon drifted to the WhatsApp group of the Bachchan household wherein the most active member is expected to be Jaya Bachchan. Some family dynamics and WhatsApp habits of the family members were discussed wherein Shweta shared that her son Agastya is quite skilled in making memes of his Mamu [uncle] Abhishek Bachchan. And Abhishek spoke about his father Amitabh Bachchan and his late replies considering that he is one of the newest members on the chat. Just like your family, the Bachchans have their own Family WhatsApp Group! #KoffeeWithKaran #KoffeeWithBachchans A post shared by Star World (@starworldindia) on Jan 20, 2019 at 8:11am PST The Rapid Fire round of this episode was quite simple with Shweta Bachchan giving out some interesting answers. One of them included where she had to give out an alternate profession for her father and she suggested that he would make a good Head of organizations like CIA because his mind is quite sharp that way. On the other hand, she also mentioned that she thinks Deepika has a better sense of fashion because her kind of fashion resembles something that she would like to wear. Well, besides all these, there were quite a bit of sibling bond and rivalry that we got to see between the two Bachchans. Abhishek Bachchan revealed about how he spent his pocket money shopping for his sister. Also, Abhishek was quite candid in pulling Karan’s leg and revealed about the time when he and Shweta became friends. The actor mentioned that it was his 7th birthday and when they were celebrating it in Madh Island, he and his friends had tied Karan and Shweta to a tree an entire afternoon and that’s how they became friends. Abhishek also reminisced about the costume that Karan was wearing then which was a red underwear over blue stockings and he came dressed as a Superman whereas Duggu aka Hrithik came as a Cowboy. Considering all the revelations, it was Shweta Bachchan Nanda who came out as a winner eventually and she was super thrilled adding that she has never won anything by far. When your sibling changes the channel during your favourite show. #KoffeeWithKaran #KoffeeWithBachchans A post shared by Star World (@starworldindia) on Jan 20, 2019 at 2:30am PST Followed by this, was the quiz segment and this time it was centred on Bollywood, Sports, General Knowledge and also their parents Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. Abhishek Bachchan clearly emerged as a winner and courtesy for that was also his phone call to his mother where she had to say, ‘Hey Karan, It’s Me!’ The star kids were asked to call one of their parents to do this and Abhishek managed it without much effort. All in all, it was one helluva of sibling love-hate episode! Also Read: Will Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan be axed after the Hardik furore? http://bit.ly/2T320Yz

Marakkar - The Lion Of The Arabian Sea: Suniel Shetty to feature as a warrior in this period drama starring Mohanlal and Prabhu Dheva Marakkar - The Lion Of The Arabian Sea: Suniel Shetty to feature as a warrior in this period drama starring Mohanlal and Prabhu Dheva Suniel Shetty, who hasn’t been quite active on the film front, is all set to return to the big screen in a different avatar. The actor, who has been a part of many successful films in Bollywood, is all set to make his South debut and will feature alongside Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and dancing superstar Prabhu Dheva. The actor is expected to play a warrior in the multi-lingual period drama Marakkar – The Lion Of The Arabian Sea. A picture of Suniel Shetty as the warrior was released recently. Going by the picture and recent reports, it seems that the actor trained quite rigorously for the film and has also beefed up for the role. Long hair and beard comprises of his warrior look from Marakkar. Set against the backdrop of the 16th Century, the title of Kunjali Marakkar was given to the naval chief of Samoothiri of Kozhikode or rather the Zamorin Of Calicut by the Hindu king of Calicut after they fought wars against the Portuguese. They played a key role in protecting the Indian coast from foreign attacks and are credited to be the first naval defense of our country. The story is adapted to the big screen by none other than Priyadarshan. The latter is expected to make the film on an extensive scale with an ensemble cast. Reports suggest that Suniel’s look is inspired from the Brad Pitt starrer Troy and that the film will see him indulge in a lot of action and sword sequences. Keeping the era in mind, vintage ships will be created suiting the 16th century period. Recent reports have it that Marakkar – The Lion Of The Arabian Sea will be shot extensively in Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. It seems that the trio of Mohanlal, Prabhu Dheva and Suniel Shetty will be shooting with each other for a schedule of approximately 80-90 days.

While they have been pretty closed up about their dating scene with each other, they sure have dropped MAJOR hints about their ongoing relationship and even plans for marriage. Their common friend and Koffee host Karan Johar keeps on hinting at their relationship after the duo made it official a few months ago by holding hands at Milan airport on their trip a few months ago. Guess, they still can’t get enough of their Milan trip! Malaika took to Insta to share her candid from this romantic vacay and urged beau Arjun to take her back there. Arjun replied to this post with a cryptic, ‘hmmm’.  He also then took to his account to share a candid of himself too. They have been careful not to post pictures with each other but at the same time have dropped enough hints about their togetherness. We really are curious with their step-by-step approach towards announcing their relationship to the world. Arjun, on Koffee With Karan, even told Karan Johar that he is in a committed relationship and is contemplating marriage. The very next day KJo asked Malaika about her ‘Koffee’ last night on the sets of India’s Got Talent and she described it as ‘hot and honest’!

"The way Neeti & I met and fell in love is full-on filmy," says Nihar Pandya "The way Neeti & I met and fell in love is full-on filmy," says Nihar Pandya Actor Nihar Pandya, to be seen very shortly in the historical Manikarnika, is all set to tie the knot with singer Neeti Mohan. Speaking on the whirlwind courtship romance and wedding for the first time Nihar says, “Yes after some relationships that simply didn’t work out, I am finally getting married, to Neeti Mohan on 14 and 15 February. In fact I speak to you from a pre-wedding pooja at Neeti’s place. The pre-wedding rituals will be on 14 Feb and the actually wedding on 15 Feb.” Nihar says he still can’t believe he has finally found the love of his life. “As you know I’ve been in some aborted relationships. In fact it had come to a point where I wouldn’t share my relationship status with my family because I was scared it wouldn’t work out. Every time my mother would run to the temple with a pooja ki thali to ring the auspicious bells for her son’s wedding. Then nothing happened.” So Nihar chose not to reveal his feelings for Neeti Mohan to his family. “Not until we were sure of our marriage. There had been so many dead ends earlier I felt my family stop believing I was actually in love.” Just how Nihar met and fell in love with Neeti is a chapter straight of a Yash Raj Film. Chuckles the groom-to-be, “Yes, fully filmy it was. I met Neeti at a common friend (musician) Jimmy Felix’s wedding. Jimmy and Neeti used to be part of the music band Aasma and he kept talking about this girl he wants me to meet. But he wouldn’t actually get down to introducing me to Neeti. I finally asked Jimmy, ‘Yaar tu mileyega ya sirf baatein banayega?’ He promised to introduce us at his wedding. And he kept his promise.” It was love at first sight for Nihar. “It took me no time at all to decide Neeti was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Luckily she felt the same way. We decided to get married soon after we met. And now, as the day approaches I am more and more convinced this is the best thing to have happened to me.” Nihar will soon be seen in a major role in the controversial historical Manikarnika. “My acting debut has taken its time. And it also took me a long time to find the woman I love. I am a late bloomer.” He has only good wishes for Deepika Padukone. “She is happily married and there is no bitterness in my heart. In time all that one remembers is the good things. I wish her all the best in her married life. And I am sure she misses the same for me. I only wish the headlines announcing my wedding wouldn’t refer to me as ‘Deepika Padukone’s Ex’. I’d like to think I have an identity of my own.” http://bit.ly/2QTmWiR

Apparently, Laxmi had refused the advances of the 32-year-old man and in a fit of rage, they attacked her. After two years, finally in 2006, Laxmi gathered the courage to file a case against reducing acid sales. Eventually in 2013, after the much talked about the Nirbhaya rape case, the court changed many laws pertaining to the protection of women and one of them was the PIL filed by Laxmi. She is currently running the Chhanv Foundation to help acid attack survivors. Laxmi Agarwal has been recognized internationally as well as she received the US State Department’s International Women of Courage Award in 2014 from the former US First Lady Michelle Obama.

"Kangana is a dear friend; I want Manikarnika to do well" - Sonu Sood OPENS up on his TIFF with Kangana Ranaut "Kangana is a dear friend; I want Manikarnika to do well" - Sonu Sood OPENS up on his TIFF with Kangana Ranaut Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika is all set to be released on January 25. The trailer of the film holds out a promise that it is going to be a well mounted historical drama. But it is quite well known that the making of the film was not very easy as it courted many controversies throughout. The most popular one was Sonu Sood walking out of the movie after his alleged spat with Kangana. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sonu opened up about this and clarified the real reason why he walked out of the film. Giving us a complete update from the start, he revealed, “I had shot for Manikarnika for 45-47 days. We shot in Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and Film City with huge sets and huge combination of artists. Manikarnika was a very very special film to me, I had seen the rushes and the way it was mounted, the way Krish (the director) shot the film, it was phenomenal. I used to sit with Krish and always discuss that I am really looking forward to the film. Then there was a time when somehow things did not go very well with the director and Kangana Ranaut and I was not aware of it. And they planned to re-shoot the film; I requested to see what exactly they wanted to re-shoot. And I said that we will do it if we think it is important. But when I saw the film, the way it was edited and there were some scenes that were missing from the film. This really disturbed me because we had put so much of hard work shooting for those scenes and when I asked them, they said that they needed to reshoot those portions which was very surprising” Sonu Sood then mentioned about some emails which stated that the makers did not want him back on the sets. Sonu further said, “There were some issues which I tried to sort. Then, they said that they wanted to shoot right away while I was shooting for Simmba. I had a continuity of beard but for Manikarnika I was clean shaven. They tried to somehow adjust those dates and said that we want to finish in September. I said the film is releasing in February so even if we go to October first week, it does not really matter because we have already completed the film. Somehow we were not on same page. She (Kangana) wanted to direct it. So I said that if you want to finish it this week only then you can go ahead with someone else if you want to because I can’t leave my Simmba set.” Kangana Ranaut, in her interviews, said that Sonu had a problem being directed by a woman and so he walked out. Sonu clarified this with us and said, “Kangana is a dear friend. I have known her before her first film. It was very disheartening to experience this with a friend with whom you can’t fight or say anything. I never refused to meet her to sort things out; I was only phone call away. The historical scenes that were narrated were never part of the original script.” He added, “I chose a particular script and director, then suddenly a new director comes on board with new scenes and a new script written in the way they want to, it’s not easy for an actor to do scenes in different way with different director. “ He also said that this was nothing to do with Kangana being a woman because he has worked with Farah Khan in past. He just believed that he was not convinced with Kangana’s idea of the film and therefore he walked out of the project to avoid any further problems. He signed off by saying that he wants the movie to do well but he is curious to see how it has turned out after changing Krish’s vision.

SHOCKING: Not Salman Khan but Govinda was to star in Judwaa SHOCKING: Not Salman Khan but Govinda was to star in Judwaa It is known that Salman Khan and Govinda share a great friendship both on and off screen. It was Salman who got Govinda back on screen with comedy film Partner. Though they had starred in Salaam-e-Ishq, Partner became a hit and their camaraderie was loved by the audience. But, did you know that one of the biggest hits of Salman Khan’s career Judwaa was originally Govinda’s film? In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Bollywood Hungama, Govinda revealed that the David Dhawan directorial Judwaa was actually his film and it had already begun when Salman Khan approached him and took over the project. “Shuru shuru mein jab maine bahut hi top ka period dekha, tab Banarasi Babu naam ki ek film ban rahi hai. Pehle nahi thi woh. Uss time pe main Judwaa kar raha tha. Aur kisi din Salman ne mujhe phone lagaya 2-3 baje. Aur kaha ki Chichi Bhaiyya aap kitni hit doge? Maine bola 'Kyun Kya Ho Gaya Yaar?' Woh bole ki 'Aap woh joh picture kar rahe ho Judwaa, woh aap bandh kar dijiye. Woh mujhe de dijiye. Aur director bhi aapko mujhe dena padega. Producer bhi maine aap hi ka le liya hai Sajid Nadiadwala'. Toh woh chalti film wahan pe thera di gayi, rok di gayi aur bandh karwa di gayi. Aur woh Salman ko de di gayi thi. (I was at the top of my game at the time when a film called Banarasi Babu was being filmed. I was also working on Judwaa at that time. While the shooting for Judwaa was on, Salman Khan called me one night at around 2-3 am and asked me, 'Chichi Bhaiyya, how many hits will you give?' I asked him, 'Why, what happened?' He said, 'The film which you are shooting right now - Judwaa - please withdraw yourself from the project and please give the movie to me. You also have to give me the director of the film. The producer of the film will also have to be same, Sajid Nadiadwala.' So the film which had already gone on the floors was shelved right there and Salman took over the project),” Govinda said. Govinda further revealed, “Judwaa mein main tha nahi, woh picture maine hi shuru ki thi. Lekin kyunki mera ghar pariwaar jaisa mahaul hua karta tha, toh woh (Salman Khan), Sohail aur maine tayy kiya tha uss time pe. Woh prem hai na humlog ka woh kabhi toota nahi filmon ke wajah se. Aur filmein kabhi uska madhyam nahi rahi. Kyunki jis mohabbat se aur jis tameez se woh mujhse baatein kiya karte hai, uski wajah kabhi filmein nahi hai. Toh mujhe lagta hai woh seniors ke time se hai. Jis jis aadmi mein andar woh hero hoga wahi baahar nikal ke aayega. Aur woh Salman mein hai so. God bless him (I was not a part of Judwaa, but I had started the project. The Khans have always been a family to me. Salman, Sohail Khan and me, we came upon this decision together. The love and feeling of togetherness that we shared was not affected due to films. Our work never got into the way of our personal relationships. Both Salman and Sohail have always spoken to me with utmost respect and the reason for the same was never films. This is a protocol followed by everyone in the industry including our seniors. If a star has a hero within him, it reflects on the outside and Salman is one of those stars. God bless him).” On the work front, Govinda will be next seen in Pahlaj Nihalani’s film Rangeela Raja which is scheduled to release on January 18, 2019.

While Hrithik Roshan fans grouse over Super 30’s postponement, trade feels otherwise While Hrithik Roshan fans grouse over Super 30’s postponement, trade feels otherwise There was inkling since a few months that the much awaited Hrithik Roshan-starrer Super 30 won’t be able to make it on its schedule release date of Republic Day 2019. Two more films – the Kangana Ranaut-starrer Manikarnika – The Queen Of Jhansi and the biopic Thackeray, based on Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray, were also to come on the same day. One of the producers, Reliance Entertainment, had made it clear sometime back that Super 30 is indeed being pushed ahead. But no indication was given as to the exact release. Hence, speculations were going around that Super 30 might make it in March or April. But over the weekend, all speculations were laid to rest. The makers announced that Super 30 would be out only on July 26, 2019! In other words, Super 30 got pushed by six months from its original release date. This dealt a huge blow to countless Hrithik Roshan fans that have been waiting for his film since a long time. After all, his last release Kaabil had released on Republic Day 2017. So, Super 30 would be his first film in 2 ½ years! That’s a huge gap between 2 releases for a superstar. Even Aamir Khan hasn’t taken such a gap. The superstar perfectionist famously stayed away from films for four years from August 2001, when his friendship drama Dil Chahta Hai hit theatres, to August 2005, when he unveiled his period action film Mangal Pandey – The Rising. After that, he has always had a release at least after a two-year gap. Between 3 Idiots in December 2009 and Talaash in November 2012, he again took a gap but in between he was seen in a supporting role in Dhobi Ghat in January 2011 and a special appearance in Delhi Belly in July 2011. Hrithik Roshan meanwhile hasn’t done any such cameos in any Hindi film. He did appear in designer Vikram Phadnis’s directorial debut and a Marathi film Hrudayantar in July 2017 but it was forgettable and not seen by most of his fans. Also, this isn’t the first time he has been away from cinemas for considerable time. After debuting in January 2000 with the blockbuster Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, he did quite a many films back to back films. Till June 2004, he had already done as many as 11 films. Then came his first hiatus. After acting in Lakshya, he was directly seen two years later in the superhero saga Krrish in June 2006. Six months later, he treated fans with Dhoom 2. In 2007, he again had no release and in February 2008, his much talked about Jodhaa Akbar came out. This was followed by a 2 year 3 months gap and then came the international flick Kites in May 2010. From November 2010 to January 2012, he had three releases – Guzaarish, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Agneepath. A huge gap then followed and in November 2013, he unveiled Krrish 3. In less than a year, he was back in October 2014 with Bang Bang. As expected, he then went on his break-spree once again and his historic drama Mohenjo Daro released in August 2016. This was followed by Kaabil 5 ½ months later. Hence, as one can see, the actor has had many such gaps between his film releases. In all, he has done 22 films till now and 11 of them released in just 4 ½ years! And the remaining 11 films released in a span of 13 years! So is this kind of strategy justified? Is it fair to deprive fans of your films for such a long time? Trade experts however don’t blame Hrithik for this situation. Both trade analyst Taran Adarsh and Girish Johar, film trade and business analyst, opine that in case of Super 30, the circumstances were not in his control. Taran Adarsh says, “With this postponement, the gap between his last release Kaabil and Super 30 have gone a bit too far. But then, certain things are not in your control. Ideally, an actor should do one film a year or two films a year, the latter especially if you are a superstar. And Hrithik belongs to the A-list of actors and ideally, he can do two films in a year. One can’t blame him and as an actor, he has delivered in terms of number, performance, fan following etc. Hence, it’s unfair to pinpoint him and put him down.” Girish Johar echoes similar views, “There are many factors to be considered when you select a film. Firstly, the right team and script have to come together and it has to be shot well and whatever that you have envisaged have to be portrayed well on screen. Apart from that, these are professional hazards. Also, he has been busy with the ill-health of his father, Rakesh Roshan. And to me, Hrithik Roshan is a megastar and as a fan, I’d be keen to watch his film eagerly. Of course I’d like him to come often on screen and deliver more films. But to each his own. Just to come on screen for the heck of it and end up doing some bad films does not make sense.” Taran Adarsh also reminds that it takes time for an actor to complete a film, then take it out of his system, move to the next film, start its prep, shoot it and complete its post-production. And if it’s a difficult genre, the process can get prolonged. This also depends from actor to actor and those who totally delve into a character usually take time. Girish Johar adds, “Stars like Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan and even actors like Ranveer Singh give too much to a film. Recently, Ranveer Singh went into a detox to get Khilji out of his mind and soul post Padmaavat. Same with Hrithik – he gives a lot in terms of physique, characterization, mannerisms etc. of his character. At the end of the day, an actor does get exhausted, as a result.” Thankfully for Hrithik Roshan fans, after Super 30, they won’t have to wait for too long for his next film. His other release, co-starring Tiger Shroff, will be out on October 2, 2019, that is, in less than 2 ½ months after Super 30! In other words, after making his admirers wait endlessly, it’ll be back-to-back Hrithik dhamaka this year and needless to say, bring it on!

Total Dhamaal - Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit shoot for an action scene and here’s a glimpse Total Dhamaal - Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit shoot for an action scene and here’s a glimpse As we mentioned many times before, Indra Kumar is all set to reunite the iconic duo of Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit after 26 years in Total Dhamaal. While the actors will be seen creating sizzling chemistry onscreen, the duo’s relation will also have a twist! In a never seen before avatar, Anil and Madhuri will be performing adventurous stunts for the film. A source close to the film said, “For a scene in the film, the two actors had to drive on a wrecked bridge over a valley and to take it to the next level the duo performed stunts on a real rapid!” Confirming the same, Indra Kumar said, "For both, Anil and Madhuri, it’s been a long time and they generally don’t do this kind of stunts anymore but I made them jump from a height of maybe around 300 feet! And Anil and Madhuri both themselves did their actual stunts! They had to jump through a waterfall. Their car goes over the waterfall and they are sitting on top of the car and they jump off and the car also comes down with them. So, it was a shot which required them to do this. I didn’t want to use duplicates or stunt doubles and told them that they have to give this shot themselves. I wanted a wide shot and looking at the scene, even I was quite apprehensive. If you told me to jump I wouldn’t! But they had the guts and bravado, being such great professionals, they jumped and it is a beautiful shot in the film.” He continued, “And there was a bridge which they needed to cross, it was again 200 feet in height and it was very weak and on that they had to drive. We had the fear that it might just collapse if there was the slightest pressure. But God has been kind and we got a great shot. Being a never seen before adventure comedy and with so much of stunts involved, you have to take a risk. We took the risks and the result is there for the audiences to see when the film releases!" Total Dhamaal presented by Fox Star Studios, produced by Fox Star Studios, Ajay Devgn Ffilms, Ashok Thakeria, Indra Kumar, Sri Adhikari Brothers, Anand Pandit and co-produced by Sangeeta Ahir and Kumar Mangat Pathak. It releases on February 22, 2019. Also Read: Total Dhamaal: Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit wrap up shoot of Indra Kumar’s quirky comedy http://bit.ly/2suu1gd

“Being a wife or a mother or 40 should not be the criteria for a heroine to get a role” - says SIMRAN BAGGA on making comeback with Rajinikanth's PETTA “Being a wife or a mother or 40 should not be the criteria for a heroine to get a role” - says SIMRAN BAGGA on making comeback with Rajinikanth's PETTA After working successfully in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films Simran Bagga is back playing Rajinikanth’s love interest in his new blockbuster Petta where at 42, she shows us what the Thalaiva’s love interest should do. No decorative doll, Simran speaks to Subhash K Jha about looking stunning after two children and making the right career choices. First of all, welcome back. You and I have known one another for a good 15 years, do you remember? Of course I remember. It’s so good to re-connect again. How are you? Firstly I want to know how you have managed to not age by even a day in those 15 years. (Laughs) Arrey nahin. I am just trying to eat, sleep and live well. It’s more about feeling good than looking good. It’s not easy after two children. After my second child I had to lose a lot of weight. It wasn’t easy. But once you decide you need to look after yourself not too look good but to be healthy, it becomes easier. What was it like working with Rajinikant for the first time? He is a such simple humble down-to-earth person. He is my super-hero. To me he came before the concept of the super-heroes like Ironman and Spiderman was incepted. I am so glad I could work with him. Would you say Petta is your comeback film? It is definitely a comeback of sorts. It is my first film with the Thalaiva and therefore a big deal for me. And when people are saying I’ve a better written role in Petta than Rajini Sir’s heroines usually have, I am even happier. Audiences are happy that Simran (she slips into the third person) is seen with the Thalaiva for the first time and they look so good together. I may not have much footage in the story. But it is rare for an actress my age to be given such glamorous role. Yes, it is very rare for a heroine in a Rajinikant film to have anything to do except idolize him. It’s even rarer for a heroine to be shown a mother to grownup child and still have life of her own. Would you agree with that? Are you asking me if I agree it is difficult for an actress to play the heroine after she is a mother? No, I am asking if characters are written for heroines where they have the liberty to have a life of their own even after having children. Yes, that is rare. And my character of a 40-plus and single mother is not something an Indian actress gets to play every day. I wanted my first film with Rajini Sir to be special. In Petta I will give film marks to the director (Karthik Subbaraj) for presenting me well, in spite of the limited footage. The romantic angle between Rajini Sir and me has been so well-handled. I’d say the relationship comes across as ageless because of Rajini Sir’s aura. It doesn’t matter whether he is in his 60s and I am in my 40s. It is only the beauty of their compatibility that shines through. Looking at the film as a member of the audience I liked seeing this pair. Audiences wanted to see more of you in Petta? Even I wanted more of me in the film. But in a 2 hour 50 minute long film there is so much to say. I am glad I got my space. Would you say Indian cinema is not a comfortable place for actresses above 40 specially those who are married and have children? Being a wife or a mother or 40 should not be the criteria for a heroine to get a role. I am very proud to be a wife and mother—it is an essential part of being a woman, as far as I’m concerned—but these roles must not define my professional decisions. Of course I’ve major responsibilities beyond my profession now. But it becomes easier to balance one’s personal responsibilities with one’s profession when you have a supportive family. I feel I’ve the freedom to do what I want to do, play the roles I want to play. There’s no burning compulsion to be in front of the camera after so many years in the profession. If I like a role I’ll do it. Yes, I may make the wrong career decisions here and there. But I am not afraid to fail. Nor am I apprehensive about being a mother. You have been in films of four languages? Yes, I broke into Hindi cinema with Tere Mere Sapne. The song ‘Aankh Mare Ladka Aankh Mare’ become a big hit. And look at destiny. That song is again a rage in the film Simmba. I feel very happy about this. I began with Hindi cinema, and then I moved to Malayalam cinema where I did a role opposite none other than Mammoothy Sir. Then I did films in Tamil and Telugu. For me, just waiting for Hindi cinema to happen was not a major craving. Tamil and Telugu cinema was equally exciting. I mean I was in school dancing to Prabhu Dheva’s Muqabla. And then before I knew it I was doing a film with him. I went on to work with stalwarts like Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan Sir. And now so many years later I’ve finally worked with Rajini Sir. So it’s been a fulfilling journey. Where do you see yourself today? You mean in Indian cinema? Everywhere. The language barriers have broken completely. Who sees Baahubali as a Telugu film? I never waited for Hindi films to happen to my career. If there was more of Tamil and Telugu films happening in my career. I was happy with that. I took breaks during my pregnancy and came back. I also did anchoring on television. At this point in my career I’m looking at roles that make an impact and which do not make my audience wonder why I am there. I want to do good work with competent directors with dependable producers. I never did the two-song-two-dance roles earlier. Why would I do it now? Selective work then? Yes, but not necessarily limited work. I can do more than one film. My home is perfectly looked after. I have given my children a lot of time. There is no guilt about getting back to work. I now live with my husband and children in Mumbai. So you will travel a lot if you do more films in the South? Even earlier I was Mumbai-based and travelled regularly to Chennai which is my second home. I used to be in Chennai shooting for 15 days of each month with my children when they were small. Now I can travel without them. They don’t need me around all the time. Also Read: SHOCKING: Rajinikanth starrer PETTA full movie LEAKED by Tamilrockers online http://bit.ly/2QUVhho

“Casting Vicky Kaushal as a solo hero was a risk in itself” says Uri director Aditya Dhar “Casting Vicky Kaushal as a solo hero was a risk in itself” says Uri director Aditya Dhar After giving two years of his life to directing the stunning new war film Uri, director Aditya Dhar is exhausted. “But in a good way. There is so much I’ve learnt during the making of the film, not just about what goes in front of the camera but also about the sacrifices the Indian soldiers and their families make. And then, to have the cynics question their dedication or to insult their dedication by inviting Pakistan’s artistes to work in India, is just unthinkable,” says Aditya who hails from Kashmir but spent most of his life in Delhi. Ironically the chance to make a war film set in Kashmir came to him in a rather roundabout way. “I was invited by Vishal sir (Vishal Bhardwaj) to make a film based on a short story by Ruskin Bond. That didn’t materialize. Then I was supposed to do a film called Raat Baqi starring Fawad Khan and Katrina Kaif. It was to be produced by Karan Johar and Fox Star. But then the unofficial ban on Pakistani artists happened. And I was at a loose end… when Uri came to me.” Aditya says it’s the best thing that could have happened to him. “Uri was god sent. It became a mission where every member of the team gave his best, and then some more. For example the actor Dhairya who played the Sikh soldier Sartaj was not a Sikh. But he practised how to be one and lived two weeks in a Gurdwara. The facilities and the freedom provided by our producer Ronnie Screwvala were beyond anything I could’ve imagined. Casting Vicky Kaushal as a solo hero was a risk in itself. We made the film with the kind of budget that would be a reasonable for a film with Vicky in the lead.” But here’s what Aditya and the Uri team did to control the budget. “We shot all the outdoor scenes in Serbia, but resolved to do only one take for every shot, no matter how difficult. And we stuck to our resolve to the very end. We didn’t do a second take for a single shot, although to get to that level of confidence we rehearsed extensively before shooting.” Why Serbia? “Because it was impossible to shoot in Kashmir. Though I was born and brought up in Delhi and visited Kashmir during my childhood. The images of those visits were replicated in Serbia. I couldn’t have got a better Kashmir outside Kashmir than Serbia. More importantly we couldn’t get all the battle-related artillery anywhere else. It was virtually as though Uri was destined to be made in Serbia. Everything just fell into place. How else could we have made this kind of a film in the budget allotted to us?” Aditya was very sure he didn’t want to fall into the trap of propagating blatant jingoism. “I wanted to show why the surgical strike was essential. I wanted to channelize the inner anger of the soldiers. At the battle-front every soldier has a buddy-soldier who becomes an integral part of his life. If that buddy loses his life the resentment and anger are beyond what we civilians can imagine. I wanted to mine into that resentment and anger. Now when people are coming up to me to tell me how much they connect with the sentiments of the film I feel my two-year journey has reached a proper culmination.” Also Read: Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman meets the team of Uri: The Surgical Strike http://bit.ly/2SUoc7c

You know there is actually a thing with these dating apps like Tinder, I didn't know about this, I saw in the movie - You know DTF? I didn't know about it and I am sure it is shocking for you also. That is the equation that 'You are down to F'. And from both sides it’s an agreement. Forget about single or dating, it's DTF. It's very simple and that's what it is. It is one night stand but on a dating app. It's as specific as it gets. I am scared for my son," Emraan said. Shreya Dhanwanthary said, "I am sure he (his son) will have a good time."

And as a director I’ve played to everyone’s strengths,” said the filmmaker. He also credited Ajay Devgn for Total Dhamaal, saying, “A talented actor like Ajay can be moulded repeatedly in different ways. He has been around for three decades and given us many comedies, but no two films of his have been alike. This film too will present him in a never-seen-before avatar. Without his support, Total Dhamaal, wouldn’t have been made, as he is involved both creatively and financially. He will continue to be a part of this franchise from here on.” Total Dhamaal presented and produced by Fox Star Studios along with Ajay Devgn Ffilms, Ashok Thakeria, Indra Kumar, Sri Adhikari Brothers, Anand Pandit, is co-produced by Sangeeta Ahir and Kumar Mangat Pathak. The film also features Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Jaaved Jaaferi, Sanjay Mishra and Pitobash in prominent roles and it is slated to release on February 22, 2019.

Vicky Kaushal starrer Uri is the first bonafide hit of 2019 Vicky Kaushal starrer Uri is the first bonafide hit of 2019 After 2018’s bonanza of hits for Bollywood, it looks like this year too will reap rich harvests. 2018 ended with a big hit Simmba. Now 2019 has opened with a hit, the war film Uri which is showing very impressive box office numbers. The film collected Rs. 8.20 crore on Day 1. The figure leapt to Rs. 12.43 crores on Day 2. Over the weekend Uri has made a staggering Rs. 35.73 crores. Made at a budget of approximately Rs. 25 crores, Uri is already showing an impressive profit within a week of its release. The other surprise success of the week is the Manmohan Singh bio-pic The Accidental Prime Minister. Like Uri, this film too has shown an impressive growth over the weekend and is expected to be a surprise success. The Accidental Prime Minister is being dubbed into Tamil and Telugu from this Friday. Says trade analyst Amod Mehra, “People today are eager to see something different but it should have some substance to back it. Both films depict true-life incidents from recent history and both have their own audience. The modest budget of The Accidental Prime Minister has made the film commercially viable. URI arouses the patriotic emotions as it's based on recent incidents and is a slap on the face to our enemy No.1, namely Pakistan.” Adds trade pundit Atul Mohan, “Topical, well-made films, right marketing and buzz are the factors in favour of these two. The country is entering into election fever now and buzz around these two films that these are propaganda films by ruling party has also added to the curiosity element. People are liking these films and this positivity is growing into footfalls.” Trade expert Girish Johar sees the triumph of two starless dramas on the same Friday as a victory of content. “To me it clearly shows that CONTENT IS KING. Despite the so called lesser mass appeasing stars these films have started well and have strongly consolidated there on. The audiences has shown clearly that all they want is good appealing content which not is entertaining but is also worth their time and money. This is a great trend for the business of film making as it will enable good stories to be told irrespective of who is starring in it. Overall is a very comfortable start movie business in 2019!

Team Son Chiriya shot fire with real rifles and guns Team Son Chiriya shot fire with real rifles and guns The recently released trailer of Son Chiriya has been generating immense buzz for the raw and rustic looks set in the rooted villages of central India. Playing a dacoit meant that the actors had to undergo gruelling preparations through real old vintage rifles and guns. As the story of Son Chiriya is set in the 1970s showcasing a small town ruled and dominated by dacoits rifles and guns used are a very prominent feature in the movie. Since it is set in the Chambal district the characters have Bundelkhand dialect and to prep and get the fluency the cast was insisted to converse in that language on set, even during the breaks. In order to perfect the dialect, the cast left no stones unturned to ace the accent and mannerisms of the post-independence period in central India. Multiple gangs fight over the struggle to attain power. The cast dons fierce avatars in sync with the theme of the film. It was extremely challenging to get trained with 1975 vintage guns as they are too big and heavy to carry on and shoot in a place like Chambal, which left the team exhausted. But, everything from how to carry it to keep it on shoulders was properly coached by the trainer to the actors. Starring Sushant Singh Rajput, Bhumi Pednekar, Manoj Bajpayee, Ranvir Shorey, and Ashutosh Rana in lead roles, Son Chiriya presents a rustic and rooted tale set in the era of dacoits. Shot in the valleys of Madhya Pradesh, Son Chiriya presents an ensemble cast with an intriguing storyline. Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, Son Chiriya promises to be a power packed action film giving a glimpse of the glorious years if dacoits in central India. Producer Ronnie Screwvala who has not only presented blockbusters but also award-winning films is all set to present Son Chiriya. The film is set to release on 8th February 2019.

She had written notes on her character, woh gaav se hogi, aisa karti hogi, etc. I got inspired by it and did it and did the same when I shot for Badhaai Ho".

On Field: Maximum Score and Off Field: Maximum Respect For Women. They have given a message with this tweet, loud and clear. A ‘Gentleman’ is a Gentleman, always and everywhere. pic.twitter.com/oANwZH2WwY — Mumbai Police (@MumbaiPolice) January 14, 2019 While both the players have been suspended for a couple of matches, Hardik lost out on lucrative endorsement deals too.

Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu starrer Badla to release in March Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu starrer Badla to release in March Sujoy Ghosh is all set to come together with his favourite actor Amitabh Bachchan yet again for a thrilling tale. The duo had in the past collaborated for films like Aladin and the suspense thriller TE3N. And now, the two of them collaborated for Badla, inspired by the Spanish film Contratiempo [The Invisible Guest] and it will also feature Taapsee Pannu in an integral role. Badla is expected to feature Amitabh Bachchan in the role of a detective whereas Taapsee Pannu is supposed to essay the character of a businesswoman with grey shades. Director-producer Sujoy, who is excited to bring the film to the audience, took to social media to share a glimpse. He took to Twitter to post this picture of Amitabh Bachchan in a well-suited look, albeit it is a back-facing picture. He captioned the same adding ‘8th March’ indicating that the release date of the film has been locked. Coming to the cast, as mentioned before, the film will see Pink co-stars Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu reuniting after two years. The latter also expressed excitement about reuniting with the megastar. She stated that she is happy to be collaborating with Amitabh Bachchan for the second time within a span of two years.

Interestingly, Badla is produced by Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment in association with Azure Entertainment.

Ranveer Singh to take Deepika Padukone’s surname for real? (Watch video) Ranveer Singh to take Deepika Padukone’s surname for real? (Watch video) Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone got married in a surreal ceremony in the idyllic Lake Como followed by multiple receptions in Mumbai and Bangalore. After the wedding, Ranveer delivered a hit film Simmba and therefore has been in a lot of limelight since. In an interview with Filmfare editor Jitesh Pillai in the show Famously Filmfare, he revealed that he actually does not mind taking his wife’s surname since he has dropped his! Before Ranveer, Deepika Padukone had appeared on the show where she joked about Ranveer adopting her surname instead of other way round, because equality. When quizzed if Ranveer would ever be Ranveer Singh Padukone he said, “What a name! It's got a ring to it. I dropped my surname so I needed a new one anyway. It's a great and legendary surname, why not I say.” Please give him the best husband of the millennium trophy already for he has won our hearts and how! On a serious note, Deepika Padukone revealed that she and Ranveer never actually spoke about changing surname because both of them have worked very hard to carve their own identity and so it is unfair for either of them to change their names. Fair point, DP. It is interesting how Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh along with Anushka Sharma – Virat Kohli, Sonam Kapoor – Anand Ahuja have been inspiring masses by their modern take on the institution of marriage. Professionally, Ranveer has delivered a smashing hit with Simmba and is gearing up for Gully Boy.   View this post on Instagram   Jitesh: Ranveer Singh Padukone Ranveer: What a name!

Rajkumar Hirani is the first A-lister from Bollywood to be called out, industry remains largely silent. Here is what the outspoken few have to say... Rajkumar Hirani is the first A-lister from Bollywood to be called out, industry remains largely silent. Here is what the outspoken few have to say... Has the #MeToo movement finally claimed a hotshot in the entertainment industry? Calling out Rajkumar Hirani in the Me Too movement is a radical step-up in the naming and shaming endeavour. The monstrously successful creator of the Munnabhai series has silenced all his fans and friends in the film industry, all of whom are understandably loath to comment. One of the rare voices that spoke up on being contacted was that of writer Apurva Asrani. He said, “I choose to believe the young lady as it takes much courage to speak up against such a powerful filmmaker and then risk being boycotted by the film industry. I think the producers did the right thing by removing Mr Hirani's name from the Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aaisa Laga posters and promos. This is something the Phantom producers had failed to do after allegations against Vikas Bahl came to light.” Actress Dia Mirza who is a close friend of Hirani reacts with stupefied confusion. “I am deeply distressed by this news. As someone who has known and respects Raju Sir for 15 years, I can only hope that a due official enquiry is conducted. He is one of the most decent human beings I have ever worked with and I think it would be grossly unjust on my part to speak on this as I do not know the details.” Adds filmmaker Hansal Mehta, “It is disturbing. I hope the truth prevails and due process is followed to ensure a quick and just resolution.” Writer-director Vinta Nanda, who has named Alok Nath as her alleged rapist, is extremely vocal on the allegations against Rajkumar Hirani. She says, “Despite having faced what I have personally, it’s hard to believe it. That’s what’s strange about how we’re conditioned by our feudal cultures. However it’s no secret that patriarchy after so many decades of industrialisation, which led to women having to join workforce’s across the world, is still too deeply entrenched in our social breeding. It’s no secret that multitudes of men and women in India lead dual lives, one what is required at home and within the family and the other that is required for them to be at work. Therefore it’s very hard to understand what’s going on in a person’s head and it’s very easy to hide the negative manifestations of power behaviours within the binary.” Vinta wonders how safe the workplace is for a vulnerable woman. “My father had advised me long ago when I started working, that I should always choose a boss according to how liberal his wife is because that is how respecting he will also be towards me. Unfortunately I lost my father when I was still too young and when you’re left unprotected from a man whose got your back; you become prey to these very virtuous vultures (sic!). I reach out to this young girl. I trust her. I understand her and I feel the fear she has been made to face. I’ve been through the part in trying to be normal so that I could hold on to my work and so that I didn’t have to surrender to the destruction of my credibility that the powerful predator would have resorted to if I’d voiced what I’d gone through so I know what this young girl has gone through as well.” Vinta Nanda takes pot shots at Hirani’s 2018 blockbuster Sanju, the Sanjay Dutt bio-pic which portrays Sanjay Dutt as a benign philanderer. “When you create a film that glorifies a person who is brazen about being laid by as many women as whose names begin from the letters A to Z, there is every possibility that your motivations too can go wrong.” Speaking on the deathly silence in the film industry Vinta comments, “The industry is frightened. There are skeletons hoarded in many cupboards out here and there’s no land left for them to be buried. This silence is what we call Sanatta in Hindi. Everyone is speechless. They don’t know what to say. They don’t know who they should protect, the predators who are their dear friends or the survivors who need their support.” Vinta sees this as a moment of reckoning for the Indian entertainment industry. “This is a huge calling for the industry. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee and do what is right because you can’t veil the truth any longer. It’s also a moment in which the industry needs to introspect. It needs to come out of it’s we are family mode, where anything that happens remains within the family. It’s time for the industry to use this opportunity to become professional across the board. I would be bold enough to add that we should protect all survivors and help them heal but we should forgive all predators and perpetrators who harassed, assaulted and violated them before the #MeToo movement happened. From here onwards we should be strict, unforgiving and punishing to anybody who dares to misbehave.” Also Read: “I want to very strongly state that this is a false, malicious and mischievous story” – Rajkumar Hirani DENIES sexual harassment allegations http://bit.ly/2RuecEX

“For Rishi Kapoor & me, everything is Khel Khel Mein” - Rakesh Roshan on fighting Cancer bravely “For Rishi Kapoor & me, everything is Khel Khel Mein” - Rakesh Roshan on fighting Cancer bravely The warrior that he is, filmmaker-actor Rakesh Roshan is back home after throat surgery and raring to get back to work. I caught Mr Roshan in an incredibly upbeat mood on Sunday morning three days after a surgery that would have dampened any average bloke’s spirits. Not this fighter. Rakesh Roshan said, “I am feeling fine, and no I am not taking any major precautions. Life is again normal. It is all because of the good wishes of my friends and of course the exceptional support of my family.” Far away in the US, Rakesh Roshan’s best friend Rishi Kapoor is also undergoing treatment for a grave illness with the same upbeat spirit. Quips Rakesh Roshan, “For me and Rishi, everything is Khel Khel Mein.” For those who came in late, very late, Rishi and Rakesh have been friends for more than 40 years. In 1975 they starred in a blockbuster musical suspense drama entitled Khel Khel Mein which was directed by Raveena Tandon’s dad Ravi Tandon. That’s when the Rishi-Rakesh friendship started. In a rare instance of an enduring friendship in the fickle world of showbiz, the two continue to be close friends to this day.

Coming to Section 375, the film will have Akshaye and Richa representing two opposite sides of the case that has been registered under the said section of IPC. If reports are to be believed, the film is expected to start a debate on rape and consent and also throw some light on false cases of rape that often gets registered. Also starring Rahul Bhat in a pivotal role, Section 375 is directed by Ajay Bahl who is known for directing the Shilpa Shukla starrer gritty drama B. A.

Kabir Singh: Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani shoot in the chilly winters of Delhi Kabir Singh: Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani shoot in the chilly winters of Delhi Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani have been quite busy with the shooting of Kabir Singh which is the Hindi remake of Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy. The filming began in Mumbai with director Sandeep Vanga who has also directed the original film. Now, the next schedule has begun in Delhi. Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani are enjoying the chilly winters of Delhi whilst shooting for their film. They have been sharing glimpses from their shoot and it seems like they are having a gala time. Shahid shared a video from the first day of shoot at a farm like location. In a video shared on Shahid's Instagram story, Kiara is seen dressed in Indian wear with a ponytail while she is getting her touch up done. They both shared a goofy boomerang video from their shoot and captioned it, “#KhetVibes.” Earlier, it was revealed that Shahid will reportedly film at eight different colleges. He will be shooting with Kiara during the 25-day-schedule. Furthermore, out of the eight colleges selected for the film, one will be used to film football scenes, one for canteen scenes and another one for classroom scenes. After the Delhi schedule, Shahid and Kiara will be heading to Mussorrie to shoot a romantic song during their 5-day schedule. This will mark the wrap up of the film. Kabir Singh is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Krishan Kumar and Ashwin Varde. For the uninitiated, Arjun Reddy revolved around a young medical student in love, who decides to follow a self-destructive path of alcohol and drugs after he is separated from his ladylove.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Bollywood Hungama????

Kaifi Azmi: The honest romantic Kaifi Azmi: The honest romantic Akhtar Hussain Rizvi, known to the world as Kaifi Azmi, was unique—and that is an understatement. On the occasion of the birth centenary of the man who wrote several milestone songs and became a benchmark himself for poetic excellence, it is time to revisit the life and times of this extraordinary poet from Azamgarh. Honesty was a Kaifi Azmi leitmotif. He did come into films for money, like so many others, but he never compromised on literary standards even here. A confirmed Leftist and thus atheist, in a rare instance when it became a professional compulsion to write a bhajan, he wrote the classy devotional ‘Tu Hi Sagar Hai Tu Hi Kinara’ in Sankalp (1972). He also did a fine job of the qawwalis (a form of Sufi devotional music in their essence) in Suraag and Hanste Zakhm. Kaifi’s professional and psychological canvas was broad enough to transcend narrow personal ideology. His angst at social inequality and communalism never interfered with the passionate romantic within him and, as daughter Shabana Azmi put it, the romantic poet within her father was never given the recognition he deserved. Check ‘Dheere Dheere Machal’ and ‘Aisi Bhi Baatein Hoti Hain’ (Anupama), ‘Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho’ (Hanste Zakhm), ‘Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Situm’ (Kagaz Ke Phool), ‘Hai Tere Saath Meri Wafaa’ (Hindustan Ki Kasam), ‘Raah Bani Khud Manzil’(Kohraa), ‘Maana Ho Tum Behad Haseen’ (Toote Khilone), ‘Yeh Raat Hai Pyaasi Pyaasi’(Chhoti Bahu) and that ultimate clarion call for equality between genders—‘Uth Meri Jaan Mere Saath Hi Chalna Hai Tujhe’ (Tamanna): Kaifi’s romance was never superficial, but so deep as to be almost sublime. And so for the master pen-man, romance came as something from the heart rather than art—an ardent, undiluted passion. When Kaifi fell in love with his future wife Shaukat, he had written her a letter in blood. When his son Baba wanted to marry actor Tanvi, a Hindu who was yesteryear actor Usha Kiron’s daughter, and she objected, Kaifi himself went to her house and said that he was prepared to build a temple for Usha’s daughter within his home! His only request was that his son and her daughter should be happy together. And so, Kaifi never wrote anything that he did not mean. Perhaps this was the reason why Kaifi, like his ‘Hindi’ counterpart Neeraj (they both share the Padma Shri honour), ranks as an A-lister in cinema despite a far lesser output than other giant names. Kaifi believed in setting benchmarks rather than following any. His ‘Ab Tumhare Hawala Watan Saathiyon’ and ‘Hoke Majboor Mujhe Ussne Bulaya Hoga’ (Haqeeqat) have yet to have equals in their genres, despite his son-in-law Javed Akhtar following the latter concept in ‘Sandesen Aate Hain’ (Border). His terrific grasp at all aspects of writing even for cinema (he co-scripted Yahudi Ki Beti, Kanneshwar Rama, Garm Hawa, Manthan and even Gulzar’s serial on Mirza Ghalib) led to his writing – for staunch loyalist Chetan Anand – Hindi cinema’s only complete film in verse. And proof, if still needed, of his intense romantic outlook comes from the fact that even this film was an ode to romance – Heer Ranjha (1970). This silver jubilee hit with unforgettable Kaifi Azmi songs as well, like ‘Milo Na Tum To Hum Ghabraye’. Romance also blended with pathos and tinge of cynicism when needed when Kaifi put a succinctly powerful pen to paper and came up woith immortal creations like ‘Ya Dil Ki Suno Duniyawalon’ (Anupama), ‘Tum Itna Jo Mooskura Rahe Ho’ (Arth), ‘Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil’ (Heer Ranjha) or ‘Mile Na Phool To Kaanton Se Dosti Kar Li’ (Anokhi Raat). But, ever a professional who had his own unique sense of humour, he also wrote classic optimistic lines like the famous title-track of Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi, ‘Jeet hi lenge baazi hum tum’ (Shola Aur Shabnam), ‘Zindagi Hai Kya’ (Satyakam) and the lyrical masterpiece ‘Bhor Aayi Gaya Andhera’ (Bawarchi). His enigmatic persona saw Kaifi as an all-rounder in his own way – writer, a poet-lyricist, a social and political activist, romantic, visionary and revolutionary. For good measure, the man faced the camera in Naseem at 75 and did a great job as a grandfather who douses communal passions. It was that honest, personal touch again. http://bit.ly/2Cn1lu3

Is the era of the Khans over? Or will Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman Khan have to reinvent themselves Is the era of the Khans over? Or will Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman Khan have to reinvent themselves The year 2018 has been a rather mixed year for Bollywood. With big ticket mass pullers turning copper while the smaller content driven films excelled proved that over the years the audience has evolved into a smarter lot that seeks value for their money. But the shocker in 2018 was the fact that all three Khans, viz. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan did not perform as expected at the box office. Though, while the Salman Khan starrer Race 3 did manage to rake in a bit, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero and the Aamir Khan starrer Thugs of Hindostan totally missed their mark. On the other hand smaller budget films like Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, AndhaDhun, Badhaai Ho, Stree and a few others went on to redefine the formulae of what makes a film a success. Looking at this Bollywood Hungama got in touch with a few names from the world of Bollywood trade to understand what went wrong for the Khans, and whether each of the three big Khans will need to reinvent themselves. Starting off prominent film trade analysist Amod Mehra curtly defines the problem Shah Rukh Khan faced with Zero saying that the actor played himself and not the role. “See in Zero, we all saw SRK playing SRK, the same character that we have seen time after time in his films. Now, had he not played himself and instead played the character that was defined in the film, as in a dwarf, things would have been different.” Further talking about Shah Rukh Khan losing his charm Mehra clarifies, “It isn’t that SRK has lost his charm, it is just that he is still doing the same thing repeatedly. Like in Fan, he played a different version of himself, now in Zero; again he played the proverbial romantic hero role. Now this repetition is what is causing the problem. In fact, it is evident that Shah Rukh is looking at doing different cinema and varied genre of films, but he has to understand that he needs to play the character and now be Shah Rukh Khan.” On the other hand film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh says, “First of all, I will still call them the three mighty Khans. Though Race 3 did not live upto the expected numbers, and Zero and Thugs of Hindostan underperformed all three still have it in them to be crowd pullers. It is just a question of one film that can bring back all three into running. I would say that it is always content that gets accepted or rejected by the audience and in these cases it was the content that was rejected. So now given the fact that they are the three mighty Khans, their films come along with big expectations in terms of both content and box office value. Now when one film does not work it is not correct to write them off, each of them enjoy a huge fan following, and all three have the star power to pull in the audience on day one, and then it needs content power to continue pulling in the audience.” While Taran Adarsh does have an interesting point, that all three SRK, Aamir and Salman enjoy massive fan followings that ensures a grand opening, it is necessary to have good content in films to keep the audience flowing in. Similarly Amod Mehra too makes a valid point when he talks about reinvention and the way forward when he says that each of the three need to understand that there are films where they need to play themselves and there are other films where they need to play the character. “In Race 3, Salman approached the film like any other film he does, he thought he could walk in, do what he does, play himself and walk out a success. Now that worked for a bit and did pull in the fans, but the film did not sustain at the box office. The same goes for Aamir Khan. In Thugs of Hindostan, Aamir decided to break with convention of playing character based roles, and instead play the hero. Now, the audience looks forward to an Aamir film because it will have him playing a character and a not a typical ‘hero’, so Thugs was a let-down because it did not have Aamir the way the audience wanted.” Though both Amod and Taran have diverging views on the problems the Khans faced this year, both echo a similar sentiment when quizzed whether the ear of the Khans is over. “You cannot say that the era of the Khans is over, it will take just one film for them to regain their position”, says Taran Adarsh. Simultaneously Amod Mehra too adds in, “The Khans will be there, they have the star power, but today we also need content power. But yes we have to acknowledge that the youngsters are gradually edging out the older generation. This year, each of them, the three Khans, had their individual problems, and all three can still bounce back”. Interestingly, while 2018 has been a rather disastrous year for the three Khans it is obvious that neither Shah Rukh Khan, or Salman Khan nor, Aamir Khan is going anywhere. The three ‘Mighty Khans’ as Taran Adarsh puts it, are here and will remain for a while more. But that does not mean the younger lot will fade, as Amod Mehra says, “Only 2019 will tell what really will happen, the younger lot are here, they know what the audience wants and they are ready to give them that.” Also Read: Salman Khan starrer DABANGG 3 to go on floor in APRIL, confirms Arbaaz Khan http://bit.ly/2QL5hdb

Koffee With Karan 6 - From Ishaan Khatter speaking about Janhvi Kapoor to Shahid Kapoor’s special advice for Priyanka Chopra’s husband Nick Jonas, here’s what happened on the latest episode Koffee With Karan 6 - From Ishaan Khatter speaking about Janhvi Kapoor to Shahid Kapoor’s special advice for Priyanka Chopra’s husband Nick Jonas, here’s what happened on the latest episode The step sibling love seems to have become the trend of Koffee With Karan 6 and this time it is all about brotherhood. The acting brothers duo, Shahid Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter came together for the latest episode of the chat show. Ishaan made his debut not only in Bollywood but also on the couch this year. Karan Johar, in his usual style, gave a brief introduction of sibling love before getting on to invite the men on the couch. The conversation obviously revolved around the Modern Kapoor family dynamics. Readers may be aware that Shahid Kapoor is the son of actors Pankaj Kapur and Neelima Azeem whereas Ishaan Khatter is the son of Neelima Azeem and Rajesh Khattar. Yet the bond between the two of them has become stronger with time and Shahid has always been a father figure for him. While their relationship discussion carried off for a brief period, it soon shifted focus to Ishaan’s love life. But like most celebrities, Ishaan remained tight lipped about the rumours of his alleged affair with Tara Sutaria and Sara Ali Khan and denied his affair with Janhvi Kapoor. When it comes to Janhvi, Karan didn’t let it go off that easily! In fact, he played a video of Arjun Kapoor speaking about Ishaan and how he keeps buzzing around her. The protective brother of Ishaan, Shahid jumped to the rescue asking how much time does Arjun spend around Janhvi to know about Ishaan around her. He further spoke about Ishaan as the buzzy guy! “See Ishaan is buzzing around most people. Janhvi is not special like that, ok! She should know this. He buzzes around many people and it started many years ago. He buzzes around his mother, with me and now you are one of those people he buzzes around.” When he was further asked about the so called affair, Shahid mentioned that, “I think Janhvi keeps buzzing around him a lot.” To which, Karan was all smiles adding that both brothers think that their siblings are buzzing around each other and concluded it to be a ‘Conflict of Buzzing!’ Not surprisingly, there was also a small section where Karan Johar, Shahid Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter discussed about the latter’s films. Beyond The Clouds, where Ishaan worked with Majid Majidi was his debut film, followed by Dhadak, a remake of Sairat. They discussed about the reviews of the film and how was newbie Ishaan’s reaction to all of it. How did you find Dhadak and Ishaan-Janhvi's onscreen chemistry? #KoffeeWithKaran #KoffeeWithShahid #KoffeeWithIshaan A post shared by Star World (@starworldindia) on Jan 13, 2019 at 8:01am PST On the other hand, a rather sporting Shahid took his failures with a pinch of salt! Followed by this was the ‘Coffee Shot Round’! The round had some interesting questions about dates and romance and obviously some skeletons tumbled out of the closet. In one of them, Shahid confessed that he did decided to try out Tinder and almost signed himself up but got ‘fataoed’ [scared] and didn’t go for it. Shahid also revealed that Ishaan often spies on him whereas Ishaan revealed that he has dated someone older and that too someone who is 40 plus. This revelation definitely took Karan by a shock and it seems that Shahid already knew about his little bro’s shenanigans. Post all this hoopla, started the Rapid Fire Round. It was a candid one for Shahid Kapoor who answered almost all questions. The actor had some interesting answers to make. He stated that he would like to set Ishaan with Janhvi. He had a word of advice for Nick Jonas wherein he said, “Never back down buddy, you are with the original desi girl.” The actor also reminisced about the time when he faced financial issues and believes that one of the prime responsibilities of a husband is to earn enough money to take care of his children. Whereas, in case of Ishaan Khatter, it seems that Shahid was more interested in answering his questions too. However, the newbie did answer to the best of his abilities. The actor did confess that Nepotism is a reality and later, he also revealed that Janhvi’s name in his phone is ‘Are Those Potatoes’. He also reasoned speaking about a particular incident where Janhvi shrieked seeing a huge rock saying, Are Those Potatoes and since then, he hasn’t been able to get over it. Shahid also confessed that Ishaan is a huge fan of Vicky Kaushal. The round, however, was an absolute win for the elder brother who was quite unabashed with his answers. The game round some crazy and competitive camaraderie between the two brothers and of course, how could the segment be complete without a dance off between the two talented bros. It ended with the usual ‘Phone A Friend’ segment and it eventually ended with Ishaan winning the game. Brothers. Actors. Heartthrobs. Hold on to your hearts as @shahidkapoor and @ishaan95 come over for some Koffee, next week. #KoffeeWithKaran #KoffeeWithShahid #KoffeeWithIshaan A post shared by Star World (@starworldindia) on Jan 6, 2019 at 9:13am PST Also Read: Koffee With Karan 6 – Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul have been suspended over their comments on the Karan Johar show http://bit.ly/2Fsi0Q2

EXCLUSIVE: Rajkummar Rao gives an insight on the success of Stree, starring in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga and reuniting with Kangana Ranaut in Mental Hai Kya EXCLUSIVE: Rajkummar Rao gives an insight on the success of Stree, starring in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga and reuniting with Kangana Ranaut in Mental Hai Kya Rajkummar Rao continues to make us believe that real talent will shine minus big budgets, fancy sets or industry mentors. Powered by the success of 2017, with films like Newton (India’s official entry to Oscars), Bareilly Ki Barfi and Trapped, the actor in 2018 delivered two power-packed yet completely contrasting performances in Omerta and Stree. While Stree went on to become the sleeper hit of the year, Omerta saw Rao get under the skin of dark twisted terrorist. Interestingly, Stree released on Rajkummar Rao’s birthday last year and the actor was very hopeful that it might work with the audience. Talking EXCLUSIVELY to Bollywood Hungama, when asked how he felt after Stree became a sleeper hit, Rajkummar Rao said, “I think it is teamwork. You have to do your job in the best way possible. Everybody has to be on the same page. With Stree, it happened. The team was just trying to make a good film. I think when that happens; the product of the film comes out quite nicely. And that is what I am trying with all my films. For me, it's having fun with everyone. It's like being with a family for those few months and try and tell a story in the best way possible. We actors are just a part of it. It is bigger than that." It's no wonder then that Rajkummar Rao is part of the 2019's highly anticipated films including, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Mental Hai Kya, Made In China, Turram Khan and Imli.  Although there is a lot of speculation around the love story of the film Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Rajkummar said that one will get to know it eventually about it. In the film, Rajkummar is playing a theatre writer-director Sahil Mirza. Talking about his character and how he fits in the story, he added, "Sahil Mirza is someone who is a theatre writer and director. And he wants to do things on his own terms, doesn't want to take anybody's help and is someone who stands for what is right. The actor is on roll as after Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga in February, Rajkummar Rao will be seen in a quirky film Mental Hai Kya in March 2019. The film will mark the reunion of Rajkummar and Kangana Ranaut after their success in Queen. Talking about the quirky posters and reuniting with the actress, the actor said, "We haven't played such characters before. The film is very quirky and edgy. As you can see from the posters that it is something very different from what me and Kangana have done before. After Queen, a lot of people are probably quite excited to see us on screen. It was a lot of fun." Starring alongside Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, Rajkummar Rao’s next Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga will release on February 1, 2019.

Koffee With Karan 6 - Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul have been suspended over their comments on the Karan Johar show Koffee With Karan 6 - Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul have been suspended over their comments on the Karan Johar show The Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul episode of Koffee With Karan seem to have resulted in a massive uproar. So much so that, it seems to have cost the cricketers their careers. Claiming that the comments made by the players on national television were misogynistic in nature, the duo received a lot of flak on social media after the episode of Koffee With Karan 6 went on air. Considering the outrage, the BCCI decided to take strict action against the Indian cricketers and recent reports have it that they have been suspended from playing temporarily. Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul who were supposed to be playing matches for India against Australia and New Zealand, have been asked to cut short their tour and return home. Despite the fact that they would prove to be quite important for the forthcoming matches, it seems that the BCCI is keen on keeping up with their word and escalating the matter. Diana Eduji, Committee of Administrators member has asserted that no one can be bigger than the institution or the game, so even if this results in them skipping the World Cup, they would still continue with this if need be. As of now, reports have it that an enquiry has been arranged for Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul and their suspension letters is said to have already been issued by the CoA. However, it seems that both the players will be facing the wrath differently. During the show, while Hardik Pandya went all out boasting about his way with women, Rahul was quite subdued and mild when it came to making remarks. The BCCI is supposed to be considering these points before they finally decide on the level of punishment for the two players. Indian Captain Virat Kohli has taken a stand adding that the team as a whole will be against any inappropriate comment that was made by any of the member.

“I am glad to get taboo subjects out of the drawing room, on to the screen” - Ayushmann Khurrana “I am glad to get taboo subjects out of the drawing room, on to the screen” - Ayushmann Khurrana What a year Ayushmann Khurrana has had! Two remarkable hits and his career is soaring. Alas, the dark clouds did appear on his bright horizon. But Ayushmann did not allow his wife’s illness to eclipse his optimism. She’s healing and his career is doing fine, thanks, Ayushmann tells Subhash K Jha Badhaai Ho, Ayushmann aap toh Andhadhun hits de rahen hain? Ha ha. I never get tired of hearing that. It is heartening to know I’ve been appreciated so much. It’s like a gift from God. And of course as you say, the happiness was equalized by sadness. It just goes to show we must always walk the middle path in life. Never take either the happiness or the sorrow to heart. Just do what you have to do. Now that you are a star how has your life changed during the past year? In Mumbai there are no big crowds when stars shoot. Recently I was shooting outside Mumbai, and for the first time there were hundreds of people to see me. I realized when you reach the Rs. 100 crore-mark you also multiply your audience in the same ratio. Before Andhadhun which reached Rs. 75 crores and Badhaai Ho which scored Rs. 137 crores, my highest grosser was Shubh Mangal Saavdhan which was a Rs. 45 crore grosser. I suddenly realized where things had reached. Throughout the outdoor schedule there were crowds to be controlled. Now, they are saying you and actors like Vicky Kaushal and Rajkummar Rao are changing the box office equation at the top with the Khans no more the kings? I can only speak for myself. And I can tell you with surety that it isn’t the actor. It is the content. Of course we too have contributed to the success of the films this year. But it’s a fact that content is King. Actors like us are making unconventional choices and we’ve a lot of options not just in cinema but also in the digital space. The audience must get a good reason to make that trip to movie theatres. Till recently it was believed that audiences went to the movie theatre for larger-than-life experiences. But Badhaai Ho was life-size? Even the larger-than-life cinema must resonate with the audience. Big or small, the audience must be given something to take home with them. Badhaai Ho was one of the best scripts I had read. Badhaai Ho gave us a lot to take home as far as looking at the way we perceive the life of parents goes. I mean we always presume they have no life of their own beyond their children, let alone have sex? It depends on the upbringing also. In my home my parents indulged in quite a lot of PDA. They would hold hands, etc. And we were used to it. I see nothing unusual in parents being intimate. But I know my friends and my relatives grew up in an environment where intimacy between parents was unthinkable. I never thought like that. It was therefore very difficult for me to relate to my character Nakul in Badhaai Ho who was shocked when he realized his parents had sex. But I guess I would also have a problem if my parents had a child at that age. It is not practical. There’re biological problems, and then probably the responsibility of bringing up the child would probably go to the eldest son of the family. Did you enjoy playing the eldest son of the family in Badhaai Ho? Oh yes. We actually lived together like a family during the making of Badhaai Ho, so much so that that my director (Amit Sharma) said I look more like Neena Gupta’s younger brother than her son. I believe you found Neena Gupta too hot to play your mother? I did! The thing is, I had not seen her for a good twenty years and the Neena Gupta in my mind was the one I had seen dancing to ‘Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai’ in Khalnaayak. But I must say she is still very attractive for a woman her age. It was the director’s idea to cast her. I was not sure she would be okay as my mother. Then I saw her in a short film Khujli that she had done recently with Jackie Shroff. Then I was convinced. But Gajraj Rao as my father was my idea. A bigger star wouldn’t have been so convincing. He gives out a wonderful honest vibe. I have worked with him on television. In fact I had recommended him in 3-4 films before Badhaai Ho. But he wasn’t keen as he was busy in theatre. Gajrajji is finally getting the success he deserves. Coming to your second hit in 2018, Andhadhun. Did you expect have two hits in a row? I was extremely confident about both the films and their directors. But I never expected them to release back-to-back. In 2017 when I had two back-to-back releases Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and Bareilly Ki Barfi I was more nervous because they were similar in genre and mood. I was more confident with Badhaai Ho and Andhadhun since they were so different from one another. Andhadhun was a clutter-breaker. It’s genre-defying idea: a dark suspense thriller accentuated by humour. Though a veteran director, Sriram Raghavan has a very young mind. Andhadhun is my personal favourite. Because I’ve never done anything like this. Nor have any of your contemporaries? True. To play blind and to play the piano, I worked really hard. It was really challenging. I knew to play the harmonium but I learnt the piano for this film. Have you continued your piano playing after the film, being a musician? I would love to. But I am continuously travelling. As of now, my 6-year old son is learning the piano. In fact he recently had a concert in school. Your brother Aparshakti had a big hit Stree in 2018. What do you think of his success? I am glad he has his own journey. It’s good that he is coming into his own. I was pleasantly surprised by his comic timing in Stree. I am relieved he’s a different sort of actor from me. Though we’ve similar tastes in music and we come from a similar background—anchoring, radio etc—we are different personalities. Now that you’re a big star how do you plan to move ahead? The plan is to be part of films with great content, which are entertaining and have a certain value addition. We as actors are very self-obsessed. But a film is not about any one actor. I want to go with different stories. Currently I am doing two films Dream Girl and Bala. Bala is about premature balding. I play a guy in his 20s going bald. This is a rampant problem. 40 percent men suffer from premature balding. Dream Girl shows you in a saree. Are you playing a cross-dresser? In a way. It’s a very interesting character. Sexual dysfunction seems a running theme in your roles? Only two Vicky Donor and Shubh Mangal Savdhan. That’s all. Taboo subjects is the common thread to my cinema. I am glad to get taboo subjects out of the drawing room, on to the screen. We need to make progressive films in a clean healthy tone, keeping the family audiences in mind. I am the audience. I choose the scripts that I want see on screen. Finally how is your wife recovering from her illness? Is she on the road to recovery? Yes she is. And she will start working on her film as director. For keeping both our spirits high throughout this trying period the credit goes to Tahira my wife. She now lectures and talks to cancer survivors. When we discovered the illness both of us made sure that the journey to her recovery would be our journey together. She made it easier for me. We both believe that both my success professionally and her illness are OUR shared destiny in life. When you take up a collective responsibility for a situation with your spouse, it always becomes easier.

REVEALED: Here’s how the makers of The Accidental Prime Minister planned to promote the film at Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) REVEALED: Here’s how the makers of The Accidental Prime Minister planned to promote the film at Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) The Accidental Prime Minister, which is up for release today, may have been mired in controversies owing to its subject. But that hasn’t deterred the spirit of the makers who are going all out to promote the film. Readers, by now, would be aware that the film is based on Dr. Manmohan Singh, our former Prime Minister. And the makers planned something special for its release day that is on January 11 and visited Bombay Stock Exchange. If recent reports are to be believed, the team of The Accidental Prime Minister including Anupam Kher who plays the titular role visited the Bombay Stock Exchange today morning. Furthermore, the makers had planned that Anupam Kher will be ringing the bell, that is a ritual at BSE to start off morning business. So, it seems that there is an auspicious bell of sorts at the Bombay Stock Exchange that rings every morning as a sign of starting off the day’s business. This honour was given to Anupam Kher of The Accidental Prime Minister. Speaking on how they came up with the idea, producer of the film Jayantilal Gada stated in reports that they were keen on doing something unique since their film too is quite unconventional. The producer had asserted that Kher will indeed ring the bell on January 11 at around 9am as a mark of kicking off the box office business of the film. He believes that since the film has historical importance, a grand mahurat was a must for them. Interestingly, Dr. Manmohan Singh was the Finance Minister before he took over the position of Prime Minister of the country. The Accidental Prime Minister, directed by Vijay Gutte, is based on the book by the same name and features Suzanne Bernert, Aahana Kumra, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Mathur in lead roles.

SHOCKING: Bollywood’s eerie SILENCE over Hardik Pandya’s MISOGYNISTIC comments SHOCKING: Bollywood’s eerie SILENCE over Hardik Pandya’s MISOGYNISTIC comments That cricketer Hardik Pandya’s utterly crass and vulgar statements on women and womanizing on Karan Johar’s talk show Koffee With Karan has snowballed into a major controversy is not surprising. Even the Bollywood fraternity’s silence over the issue is not a surprise. Who wants to get into the bad books of Karan Johar? Not all those actors, for sure, who have been so vocal in slamming Alok Nath! After all, Alok Nath makes a much softer target than Karan Johar (godfather of numerous). What is surprising is the fact that these remarks were allowed to be made on the show in the first place. Where was the editorial prerogative being exercised when these remarks showed up on the edit table? A source reveals that Karan Johar has decided to be really discreet about the content of his talk show from now on. “He never saw it coming. The same chichora (skittish) tone has been used on Koffee With Karan since its inception. We had Deepika Padukone talking about condoms and Badshah making out in the open fields. The cricketer (Hardik Pandya) was being true to the mood and spirit of Karan’s show,” says the source. While other prominent members of the film fraternity maintained a stony silence, producer Sheetal Talwar and writer Apurva Asrani did speak out. Says Talwar, “It is irresponsible for anyone to propagate sensationalize such statements. As a role model, Hardik should realise that he should not have made any statement objectifying women but the real responsibility of self-censorship of this lies with Karan, and he should have actually insisted on this statement being edited out of the show. BCCI has taken a timely step on this.” Adds Apurva Asrani, “In a way I'm glad that everyone can see the misogyny that's so ingrained in our society. At least this way it can be assessed and countered.” Also Read: Koffee With Karan 6: 2 ODI ban recommended for Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul over misogynistic comments http://bit.ly/2VG2Xbf

The PM meets Bollywood delegation: “This is just the beginning,” says producer Mahaveer Jain The PM meets Bollywood delegation: “This is just the beginning,” says producer Mahaveer Jain On Thursday morning a slew of top-notch actors, producers and directors flew to Delhi to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The delegation included actors Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar, Rajkummar Rao, producers Ekta Kapoor, Karan Johar and Mahaveer Jain and directors Ashwini Iyer Tiwari and Rohit Shetty. The agenda was more freewheeling than specific. And the mood was buoyant. The delegates who can’t stop singing the PM’s praise says “nothing specific” was discussed. Producer Mahaveer Jain who initiated the move to meet the PM reveals all the details. “Getting the new breed of prominent actors and filmmakers to meet PM Modi Saab was an idea initiated by me and Karan Johar. It took me no time to convince the delegation to pay this historic flying-visit to Delhi. It took me about twenty days to get an appointment with the PM for this historic meeting.” Jain says the effort was all worth it. “This meeting is just the beginning for our film industry to get more proactive in the process of nation-building. The PM very graciously told the delegation how much of a change and progress they can bring to the nation. We wanted the Prime Minster to meet the younger generation of Bollywood stars. The Prime Minister made us feel most comfortable and welcome. He had a brief exchange with each of us, with an accompanying smile and he wanted us, the entertainment industry, to feel a part of the process of the nation’s growth and development. It was very satisfying get-to-know-you meeting and it went off wonderfully,” says Jain. Would he say it was a fulfilling meeting? “Very very fulfilling. Varun, Ayushman, Ranbir Alia…all of them felt very comfortable in Modi Saab’s company. Believe me; our entertainment industry has a tremendous amount to give to the nation. As the PM pointed out to them, these stars are role models. They’ve the power to influence the youth. I am surprised that this meeting didn’t happen earlier. But now the process has started. We will be interacting extensively with the Government. And there is no stopping us. We (the film industry) are going to be taken seriously by the Government.” Also Read: PICTURE PERFECT!

Emraan Hashmi gets irritated about a KISS question and here’s what he has to say Emraan Hashmi gets irritated about a KISS question and here’s what he has to say When Emraan Hashmi earned a name in Bollywood, he also earned a tag of serial kisser. But the witty actor has never taken the way the masses have tagged him in a wrong manner. He has continued to do work that he likes and is now coming up with a not-so-massy yet relevant entertainer – Why Cheat India. The film will deal with the corrupt malpractices of the education system. In the middle of its promotions, when Emraan Hashmi had a candid conversation with Bollywood Hungama, he revealed about this one question that irritates him the most. During a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Emraan Hashmi was on his toes during the Rapid Fire segment. In the midst of the same, he was asked what was that one question that irritates him the most on social media? Without thinking much, the actor replied, “[The one question that irritates me is] Iss film mein kiss hai kya.” His co-actor and Bollywood debutant Shreya Dhanwanthary was quite surprised by the answer and quizzed the actor, “Do they really ask you that?” Readers may be aware that Emraan Hashmi has done many onscreen kisses with his co-stars and hence he even earned the tag serial kisser as mentioned before. But it seems that the reputation is preceding him despite the different kind of films he has been involved in. In fact, on the career front, Emraan is now not only experimenting as an actor but also as a producer. Some of them may recall that Why Cheat India is produced by the actor’s wife Parveen Hashmi under the banner Emraan Hashmi films. He will also be producing Captain Nawab which features him in lead role. If that wasn’t all, Emraan Hashmi is also entering into the digital space with Bard Of Blood that is produced by Shah Rukh Khan.

The new guns of Indian Cricket Team, KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya, made their debut on the chat show. But, it did not turn good for the show and for the cricketers. KL Rahul kept it more on a lighter side, Hardik Pandya was seen boasting about womanizing which did not go down well with the netizens. After the netizens criticized the cricketer for his misogynistic statements on women and making a mockery out of it, the Committee of Administrators (CoA) on January 9 issued a show cause notice to both the cricketers. Both Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul were given 24 hours to give an explanation about their irresponsible remarks on women. On Thursday, the Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai recommended a two-ODI ban on both the players. In a letter to BCCI CEO Rahul Johri and CoA member Diana Edulji, CoA chief Vinod Rai asked the Indian board to ban both players for two matches each. Hardik Pandya responded to CoA's show cause notice. In his official statement, he said, "I made an appearance on the chat show where I have made certain statements without realising that these could be disrespectful and offend sensitivities of viewers for which I am sincerely regretful I would like to assure you that there was no malice or any sort of ill-intent on my part to offend anyone or portray any section of the society in bad light. I made these statements in the flow of the show and had not comprehended the extent to which my statements would be found offensive. Rest assured I hold the BCCI in highest regard and will exercise complete discretion and prudence to ensure that such incidents are never repeated in future." Taking to Twitter, Pandya apologized for his statements and said, “After reflecting on my comments on Koffee with Karan, I would like to apologise to everyone concerned who I may have hurt in any way. Honestly, I got a bit carried away with the nature of the show. In no way did I mean to disrespect or hurt anyone’s sentiments. Respect.” On the show, Karan Johar spoke about the personal lives of the cricketers, KL Rahul praised how Hardik Pandya is very open about his personal life to his family. He narrated an incident where he had gone to a party with his parents and they asked him with whom he had a ‘scene’. He said, “And I actually had to tell them. ‘This one. This one. This one.” He also spoke about losing his virginity and how he openly boasted it to his parents, “Aaj mai kar ke aaya.” (I did it today).

Here’s what Emraan Hashmi wants to ask PM Narendra Modi and politician Rahul Gandhi when he meets them Here’s what Emraan Hashmi wants to ask PM Narendra Modi and politician Rahul Gandhi when he meets them We all know that Emraan Hashmi is gearing up for the release of Why Cheat India next week. Amidst other producers, his wife Parveen too has co-produced this film that portrays the malpractices deeply rooted within the education system. As he gears up for a film with an important message, Emraan discussed some interesting moments during an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama and one of them was about what he would ask PM Narendra Modi and politician Rahul Gandhi. During the Rapid Fire segment of our interview, Emraan was questioned what would he ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi if he meets him. The actor first opted to be quirky and said, “I wouldn’t ask the question that Kapil asked,” hinting at the controversy that the comedian Kapil Sharma’s tweet had created. The latter had taken to social media to speak about the corruption in the system and it was later being said that it happened in an arbitrary state. The actor soon responded to it seriously adding, “What’s happening about our education system.” Emraan Hashmi recently stated that he is passionate about working towards the betterment of education system within the country even off screen. In fact, he even tweeted about wanting to meet the Union Education Minister in Delhi to discuss about the issues faced by students. And now, it seems that he would have a similar discussion with our honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also politician Rahul Gandhi. When he was asked what he would discuss with Rahul Gandhi, Emraan repeated his answer saying, “What’s happening about our education system?” Coming to Why Cheat India, the film marks the Bollywood debut of Shreya Dhanwanthary and it is directed by Soumik Sen. While it was initially supposed to release on January 25, marking the celebrations of India’s Republic Day, now the release has been preponed a week earlier, to January 18.

“I haven’t seen the film yet. Let’s see how my character has shaped up”, says Rajit Kapoor who plays PM Modi in Uri “I haven’t seen the film yet. Let’s see how my character has shaped up”, says Rajit Kapoor who plays PM Modi in Uri The surprise casting of the very talented Rajit Kapoor (of Byomkesh Bakshi fame, last seen as Alia Bhatt’s father in Raazi) as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a master-stroke. In a season saturated with real-life political figures on screen, Rajit not only captures the essence of the man, he also gets the oratorical powers of Mr Modi completely in place. The actor who has consistently given brilliant performances over the years in films such as Suraj Ka Satvan Ghoda, The Making Of The Mahatma (where Rajit played Mahatma Gandhi) and several other films directed by Shyam Benegal, says he wanted to make sure he didn’t imitate the Prime Minister. “Yes I play Prime Minister Modi in Aditya Dhar’s Uri. I wanted to stay away from imitating or caricaturing him. This is what happens when real-life political figures are played in most cases. There is more imitation than absorption of the character traits.” Rajit is looking forward to seeing how much of the real Modi he has got on the screen “I haven’t seen the film yet. Let’s see how my character has shaped up. The aspect of PM Modi that the public knows is that of the orator. I’ve attempted to portray the thinker and the planner in him.” Rajit says he never had any hesitation in taking up the role. “The challenge was never to imitate but to get Modiji’s mind-set and his attitude right. Once I got a hang of those everything else followed.” Rajit Kapoor, however, feels another actor is more qualified to play the Prime Minister. “Culturally and physically Paresh Rawal is closer to Modiji than I am. I mean many actors can attempt him....and why not as it would be challenging for any actor. But Paresh's body type, the fact that they come from the same state make him extremely suitable. And of course he being a brilliant actor will get the nuances worked out well.” http://bit.ly/2FmKKJQ

Salim Khan recently appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show along with his three sons, Salman Khan, Arbaaz and Sohail Khan. While there were many anecdotes that were shared, the father also quite interestingly spilled beans on the younger days of his sons when they were just students. Salim Khan, who is known as one of the most legendary scriptwriters in Bollywood with films like Sholay and Deewar being associated with him, is also the father of the superstar Salman Khan. On the other hand, talking about The Kapil Sharma Show, the revamped version of this show hosted by the comedian Kapil Sharma has kicked off recently in the last week of December. With Salim, Salman Khan and his brothers being one of the first guests on the show, it was filled with many rib tickling moments. Salim Khan, who is known for his candid nature in real life and on social media, shed all his inhibitions when he revealed about his sons’ mischevious behavior during their childhood days. He said, “Hamare ghar mein ek aadmi aata tha … toh Sab bolte the Ganesh aaya, Ganesh aaya! Maine Kahan yeh Ganesh kaun hai jisko mere ghar mein mere se zyada izzat milti hai.. baad mein pata chala ki woh, jo paper leak hoti hai na exam mein, woh inko laake deta tha!” Shocked by the revelation that their father made on national television, the Khan brothers were left quite dumbstruck but soon burst out laughing. Sohail Khan even commented on the same adding, “Sab pol khul rahi hai!” In fact, a promo of the show featuring Salim Khan talking about the incident is also available on social media.

An open letter to Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan An open letter to Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan Dear Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, At 53, no leading man was really a top star ever, with the lone exception of  Dharmendra, at the end of his peak lead career in 1988, proving this rule. At best (as with Ashok Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan and a few others), some others had become heavyweight character artistes-cum-protagonists. In that sense, you three—and in the near future, even Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn— are extremely, extremely lucky, and so it is vital that this luck and the resulting sustained success cannot be taken for granted. 2018 has been quite ominous for all of you. It was Eid, and Race 3 tumbled on the very date that has been long associated with Salman. It was Diwali, another prestigious date, and Aamir (with past mega-star Amitabh Bachchan and the Yash Raj banner) got robbed of success by Thugs Of Hindostan. And in Christmas week, Shah Rukh’s Zero was the last hope that has been conclusively belied now. On the other hand, in January itself, Padmaavat, top-lined by Numero Uno heroine Deepika Padukone and most promising GenY hero Ranveer Singh swept past the Rs. 300 mark. And mid-year saw the jinxed-for-long Ranbir Kapoor play Sanjay Dutt and zoom past the 300 mark too—with Sanju. Today, therefore, the Rs. 300 crore is not exclusive two-Khan property anymore. It is about any whopper-connect-with-the-masses-pan-India film and its script and director, and after that, its stars. And that is proved by the latest blockbuster, Simmba. What makes Simmba a winner is Rohit Shetty and Team’s complete focus and determination to deliver. And in the process they have moulded the finest successor to super-stardom from this generation—Ranveer Singh again. We would not be surprised at all to see 2018 become the first year to have this one actor chalk up two Rs. 300 crore films, or at least near that mark! He has completely moulded himself according to the vision of the director. This has also reaffirmed a lesson so completely vital: the star or stars had never mattered: but content (as in story and script, direction and, yes, editing) always has. And that it was the films (in your case Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Maine Pyar Kiya and Deewana and their follow-ups) that made all of you rule for 29, 28 and 26 years respectively. Like Amitabh Bachchan has always admitted on record, the reign of an actor is always because of a huge assortment of talented filmmakers of conviction (and the subjects, writers, composers and actors they choose), who ensured that all of you were projected for maximum impact, capitalizing not just on your talent but also talent to deliver hits and super hits! Yes, the role of a star is to lessen the rejection quotient in a flop, and boost it manifold for a film that resonates with the audience. And you three always did it better than anyone else after you all came in. But…! …But as economics spiralled, it was only possible to mount humongous-budgeted films with only the three of you, and no one else. This was because even your worst films were assured of a good “opening-day” and “opening-week”, and your good films guaranteed great to spectacular business. And obviously, if the budgets were out of proportion, their flop quotient could hit the skies with a mess on ROI (Return on Investments)!  And yet, you three are still the undeniable toppers, even if, of late, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn have had a better track-record in hits and flops. And that’s the very point. GenY still is crazy about all of you, as are at least three generations before them!  But your films are falling short. A small but very vital point: All three of you had the support of great music until a few years ago. Why oh why are you guys now following the terrible trend of decimating the importance of great songs and going in for trendy and transient items? ‘Papa Kehte Hain’ or ‘Jaane Kyoon Log Pyar Karte Hain’, ‘Dil Deewana’ or ‘Jag Ghoomeya’ and ‘Baazigar O Baazigar’ or ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaooon’ stand glorious testimony to the role of great music in your popularity. In your position, therefore, certain filmmakers are bound to project their niche or even below-par cinema and—not to beat around the bush—hoodwink you guys into doing projects you should steer clear of like the proverbial bargepole. Tubelight, Thugs…, Race 3, Thugs…, Jab Harry Met Sejal, Raees, Fan and Zero were not just box-office tragedies but also movies in which every one of you was as good or charismatic as ever, but the scripts and execution fell woefully short. Maybe your roles, as narrated, lured you into not seeing the larger picture (pun intended)  and clouded your instincts and judgements so that you could not gauge their mediocrity and wonkiness—creative as well as commercial. Except with Aamir, most were your own co-productions, so you actually invested in them as well! And somewhere, you were therefore mesmerized into thinking that with these films, you would grow both as artistes and stars. Today, it is my heartfelt, earnest request to you three, who the nation will agree are as lovable as when you started out, that you have unbiased, un-awed-by- you, solidly dependable and frank voices who will guide all of you in your future choice of cinema and prevent a so meticulously-earned superstardom from fading or falling apart prematurely, or even becoming fragile. Names like Dev Anand and Rajesh Khanna come to mind from the film history books. After all, as you, Shah Rukh, recently put it, “Each good film is a milestone for me, and there is no dearth of my wanting to do new things within the formats of commercial cinema. I do not even know if I have the time or stardom left to do them!” And that, we are sure, applies to the other two as well. Especially after how 2018 has shaped up. Here’s wishing all of you many more years of supremacy. Best regards. http://bit.ly/2LY3vVi

OH SO CUTE! This family picture of Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and Suhana Khan is frame-worthy OH SO CUTE! This family picture of Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and Suhana Khan is frame-worthy Well, it is not just Shah Rukh Khan who loves to share shenanigans on social media but it is also his wife who loves to do the same. Couple goals, we say! The duo shares a wide range of pictures, from work-related to on the sets to family pictures that have made their way to these platforms. And the recent one that Gauri has posted on her official page is definitely ‘aww’! Gauri Khan, who is quite active on Instagram, shared a picture of her, her superstar hubby Shah Rukh Khan and their glamorous daughter Suhana Khan. The two ladies were dressed quite elegantly in this picture with Shah Rukh looking suave but what added cuteness to this picture was to see the lovely girls giving a peck on the dimpled cheeks of our Romance king. Considering that both husband and wife also share similarities in their witty sense of humour, how could they a mundane caption for a post. Keeping in mind just the same, she captioned the picture saying, “Most days he deserves it ...” Well, the couple never fail to impress us with their quirk! Most days he deserves it ... A post shared by Gauri Khan (@gaurikhan) on Jan 7, 2019 at 2:57am PST Coming to the film front, Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Zero also featuring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.

The actor will be seen playing the Indian Air Force officer and an astronaut in this forthcoming film titled Salute. The film is expected to feature Fatima Sana Shaikh as the leading lady but there has been no official announcement on the same.

Ayushmann Khurrana will go to any extent for his role in Bala; may go bald for the film Ayushmann Khurrana will go to any extent for his role in Bala; may go bald for the film 2018 can pretty much be called as Ayushmann Khurrana’s year with the actor wooing the audiences in films like Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho. His unique choices have given him many accolades and appreciation this year and now he is all set to move on to his next projects which seem to be equally intriguing. He has Dreamgirl with Nushrat Bharucha and Bala with Bhumi Pednekar coming up. In our previous reports, we had stated that Ayushmann Khurrana will reunite with his favourite co-star Bhumi Pednekar for the third time in Bala. We had also mentioned that the actor will be seen playing a character who has premature balding whereas Bhumi will play a girl dealing with complexion issues as she features as a dusky girl in the film. It was being stated that the duo will once again break norms and portray something unconventional like their previous two films –Dum Laga Ke Haisha and Shubh Mangal Savdhaan. And now we hear that Khurrana is already geared up for the role. Well, we all know that Ayushmann Khurrana has enviable hair, so the question arises if he would go bald for a film. And the actor asserts that he has no inhibitions in going to any extent for the role. In recent reports, the actor has confidently stated that even if the role requires him to go bald, he will do it without thinking twice. He asserted that there will be no hiccups from his side. Ayushmann believes that physical transformation is extremely important onscreen for a role and hence he wouldn’t have any hindrance in doing whatever is required for it. Further speaking about his look from the film, Ayushmann maintained that they are yet to finalize his look for the film. If these reports are to be believed, the very fit actor may also have to put on a few kilos for his role in the film. But as of now there have no further details on it as all of it is yet to be locked.

Emraan Hashmi takes Cheat India campaign to the next level; to meet Union Education Minister to discuss about the scenario in India Emraan Hashmi takes Cheat India campaign to the next level; to meet Union Education Minister to discuss about the scenario in India Ever since he has announced Cheat India, Emraan Hashmi has been passionately discussing about the varied issues that the education system in India is facing. The film deals with the corruption that has been deeply rooted in the academic organizations. Now, the actor is planning to take this a step ahead by meeting the Union Education Minister to discuss the current problems in India’s education system. Emraan Hashmi and youth politician Aditya Thackeray came together for a press conference last week to announce the preponing of their film Cheat India. Followed by that, when Aditya shared a tweet about State Education Minister ordering an arrest of the student, it was also reposted by Emraan Hashmi on his official handle as ‘Cheat India’. Now, we hear that the actor-producer is taking his campaign against the system a step ahead by meeting Union Education Minister Prakash Javdekar. This is #CheatIndia ! https://t.co/k7pZTKZVyZ — emraan hashmi (@emraanhashmi) January 5, 2019 If reports are to be believed, the actor has already requested the Union Education Minister for a meeting in Delhi this week. He took to Twitter to make this request and shared this post: Student suicides increasing multifold. Thane-based Shamista Som is the next unfortunate casualty of the exam system. Couldn't handle MD exams pressure. Would love to meet our HRD Min Shri @prakashjavdekar this week in #Delhi to discuss our system and its future. #cheatindia — emraan hashmi (@emraanhashmi) January 8, 2019 Confirmed Emraan, “There has been a sharp rise in student suicides. The frequent news about leaked papers, fake degrees, re-exams, outdated syllabi, etc. is deeply concerning. The country’s parents and students are both cheating and being cheated. I would appreciate an audience with the Hon’ble Minister to discuss the issues and see how we can make a difference.” Cheat India is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Ellipsis Entertainment and by Emraan’s wife Parveen Hashmi under the banner Emraan Hashmi Films. The film which was expected to release on January 25 has now been preponed to January 18 in order to avoid the clash with Thackeray, based on legendary politician Balasaheb Thackeray.

“Comparisons are inevitable; but it is Janhvi Kapoor’s job to do her own thing, and mine to do my own” - Sara Ali Khan “Comparisons are inevitable; but it is Janhvi Kapoor’s job to do her own thing, and mine to do my own” - Sara Ali Khan Sara Ali Khan has made a grand impact with her debut film Kedaranth. And now her second release Simmba is also a hit. Not only has she won the hearts of moviegoers she also has fan clubs all across India doting on her from even before her debut film released. In a freewheeling interview with Subhash K Jha, Sara reveals her plans to conquer the box office. Congrats Sara, you seem to have become quite a star? Arrey kahan? I am just running around trying to cope with the workload. I don’t have time to feel like a star. I don’t think I’m a star yet. But I hope I get there some day. I don’t think I will ever let myself feel like star. The minute you do, others will stop seeing you in a favourable light. Your gorgeous grandmother Sharmila Tagore says you’ve immense poise for someone so young. Where does this self-confidence come from? I guess it comes from being honest. And that’s the only way I can be. Let those who can lie convincingly do it. I can’t! I start fumbling the minute I lie. Staying true to myself suits me just fine. What kind of reactions are you getting from family and the media? The family cannot be expected to be objective. They are expected to be nice to me in whatever I do. After all I am their daughter. But the way the reviewers’ critics and audience have reacted to me is overwhelming. This is a moment I am not going to forget ever in my life. Do you deserve all the love you are getting? 80 percent of it, I deserve. The other 20 percent I don’t know where it is coming from. And it’s making me feel very grateful and emotional. I don’t have any experience in acting. All I had was my honesty. And that was my only go-to. Kedarnath was my first experience in what happens before the camera; of course I had been on film sets before to see my mother (Amrita Singh) shoot in Kalyug and my father (Saif Ali Khan) in Omkara. But all I did was play around with my parents’ co-stars’ makeup. Kedarnath was my first opportunity to observe filmmaking and be part of the process. My only tool of working on the sets was my honesty. Of course I always wanted to be an actor. Posing as a child in front of the mirror? Wearing your mother’s clothes? All of that, all of that. In that case why did you go to Columbia University? To me education was not a means to get a job. It was my way of widening my horizons. I didn’t think I was going to be a practising lawyer after attending Columbia. Education has made me a confident person. It doesn’t only teach you history and geography. Education gives you an insight into life. It gave me a heightened awareness of life that helped me become a better actor. You were raised mostly by your mother. Not having your father around, was that a lacuna you felt? I was more than okay with that arrangement. I think having two happy parents in different homes is much more preferable than two unhappy parents in the same home. I think I am the way that I am because my mother didn’t let me feel any kind deprivation for even a second. I have a very hands-on mother. Once my brother and I were born she did nothing but look after us. So she never allowed you to miss the presence of your father? My father was always a phone call away for both of us. I’ve never felt he was not there for me. In many ways I am glad my parents were not together. I know they’d have never been happy together. And if they were not happy I’d not have been happy. Now Saif gives so much attention to Taimur which you never got. Do you feel a pang of envy? Not at all. He’s my brother. I will tell you something. When my father was living with us, he was completely taken up by me. When he moved away he was still as caring. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for me. Even when he doesn’t live with us, the thought that he’d do anything for me makes me feel very special. My father may not be there for me the way he is for Taimur. But that doesn’t make me feel any less special. Do you look forward to working with him? God willing, we will work together soon. But for obvious reasons it’s not something that would happen over and over again. But if we get a script that justifies our presence we will do it without a moment’s thought. Whom do you consult on your scripts, Mom or Dad? Both of them. But at the end of the day they both encourage me to follow my heart. So if I am convinced about a script I’d do it regardless of their advice. But if I am not convinced I wouldn’t do it. What did your brother Ebrahim think of Kedarnath and Simmba and you? He’s studying abroad and he’s the only member of the family who hasn’t seen my films. Does he aspire to be an actor? He does. But as I’ve discovered, it’s an easy dream to have but a very difficult dream to achieve. But I feel Ebrahim has the talent. Once he enacted a monologue for my mother and me. I was holding the sheet of paper on which his lines were written. I couldn’t look at the sheet, I was busy looking at his eyes. They were so emotive. How do you field the improper questions from the media? I am never asked anything improper. To be honest, mujhse kya improper pooch sakte hain? What have I done? I have literally been around for just a few months. Are you looking forward to taking all the debutante awards? (Giggles nervously) I don’t think I’m going to win them. One never knows. Sadly they keep pitching you against Janhvi Kapoor? Such comparisons are inevitable. But it is her job to do her own thing, and mine to do my own thing. And it’s some people’s job to compare us. We’ve to respect everyone’s job. She is busy with her work. I am busy with my work. The catty competitiveness that existed during your grandmother and your mother’s times no longer exists? I don’t think we can afford that kind of open rivalry. The media is too active. Anything we do will be reported the next day.

Koffee With Karan 6: Netizens brutally slam Hardik Pandya for misogynistic statements and choosing Virat Kohli over Sachin Tendulkar Koffee With Karan 6: Netizens brutally slam Hardik Pandya for misogynistic statements and choosing Virat Kohli over Sachin Tendulkar Koffee With Karan season 6 finally saw two cricketers gracing the show. The new guns of Indian Cricket Team, KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya, made their debut on the chat show. While KL Rahul was goofy yet interesting to watch, Hardik Pandya was more on problematic side. In the whole episode, he could not stop himself from boasting about womanizing and that did not go down well with the netizens. As the Karan Johar spoke about the personal lives of the cricketers, KL Rahul praised how Hardik  Pandya is very open about his personal life to his family. He narrated an incident where he had gone to a party with his parents and they asked him with whom he had a 'scene'. He said, "And I actually had to tell them. 'This one. This one. This one." He also spoke about losing his virginity and how he openly boasted it to his parents, "Aaj mai kar ke aaya." (I did it today). When asked to choose better batsman between Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar, he chose the current Indian Cricket Team Captain. These comments did not go down well with the netizens as they brutally slammed the cricketer for his toxic masculinity and misogynistic statements. The #KoffeeWithKaran epi further proves that cricket is not a gentlemen's game. It's dominated by UC, nationalist, sexist men who're smug about their privilege and the crazy fan following they have. This I say as someone who loved the sport. I've evolved and idc anymore. — Sreeparna Mazumder (@Sreeep) January 6, 2019 Watching Koffee with Karan (or however you spell it) with Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul and the toxic masculinity and racism egged on by Karan Johar’s giggles are the reason why Indian men are encouraged to unapologetically misogynistic. Unfortunate! — Sanjana Chowhan (@Sanjanachowhan) January 6, 2019 RT if you've never seen a bigger hypocrite than Hardik Pandya pic.twitter.com/pt1hlNwyZm — BALA (@erbmjha) January 6, 2019 Imagine going to your mother n talking about losing your virginity saying "aaj mai kar ke aaya" Like seriously Hardik Pandya chhichhore.. there's a fine line between cool and creepy! Wish aunty taught him some humility too.. Money can't buy you manners!sigh — Prachi Das???????? (@PrachiNotDesai) January 6, 2019 #KoffeeWithKaran No wonder KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya struggle as a batsmen. pic.twitter.com/QhpedekLYV — Chandan ???????? (@sportsbloggerc7) January 6, 2019 don't know why I always feel that hardik pandya is a smuggler who is using cricket just as a cover to transport drugs in kits. — Rafale Gandhi (@RoflGandhi_) January 7, 2019 This is so classic! All guys are offended that Hardik Pandya chose Virat over Sachin and not by his absolutely disgusting, classless, misogynist behaviour. #KoffeeWithKaran — Pradnya (@topradnya) January 6, 2019 On #KoffeeWithKaran KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya said Virat Kohli is better than Sachin Tendulkar. Completely agree with them. I also feel Hardik Pandya is a better all-rounder than Kapil Dev and KL Rahul is a better opener than Virender Sehwag. pic.twitter.com/KO4ihBRVpu — Sir Jadeja (@SirJadeja) January 6, 2019 Someone please tell Hardik Pandya that what he thinks is a 'cool-idgaf-badboy' image comes out as nothing but creepy and gross. — n. (@FeistyFangirlx) January 6, 2019 It might have been fun initially to watch two young sportsmen letting their guards down, but the obnoxious and misogynist attitude of Hardik Pandya just was too much to take in. At one time, cricket was called a gentleman's sport. Where has all the class gone? #KoffeeWithKaran — Medha Chatterjee (@moldyshorts16) January 6, 2019 Hardik Pandya in Koffee with Karan is the classic example of 'empty vessels make the most noise'. Only if wearing Gucci shoes made someone a gentleman. Sigh! https://t.co/HMEkHr65rb — Sohini Guharoy (@sohinigr) January 6, 2019 Hardik Pandya is an obnoxious, sexist asshole, who’s attracted to “black” culture and looks at the opposite sex as one big scoring ground. How does it matter if he picked Sachin over Virat! There are bigger worries, like how the idiot spanks his teammates in the locker room! ????????‍♂ — Aniruddha Guha (@AniGuha) January 7, 2019 When hardik pandya said Virat is better than Sachin* Mumbai Indians - pic.twitter.com/lJjirDwem4 — Maha Purush! (@MahaPurushhh) January 6, 2019 Watched the complete episode of #KoffeeWithCricketers. Hardik Pandya is so naive, insensitive and selfish that Raju Hirani must be preparing for Pandya's biopic. — SAGAR (@sagarcasm) January 7, 2019 Also Read: Koffee With Karan 6: Shahid Kapoor reveals his advice to Priyanka Chopra’s husband Nick Jonas, Ishaan Khatter talks about rumoured affair with Janhvi Kapoor http://bit.ly/2RbEeNj
