Simple… (1/2) 2/2)Since news channels cant resist selling false rumours & keeping you confused, we are just ending the confusion :).” Well, we see how beautifully Virat...

Shah Rukh Khan gets nostalgic about his iconic onscreen costumes, characters and 25 years in Bollywood

Over the span of almost 25 years, Shah Rukh Khan has portrayed many characters through his films. And a few out of these seemed to have remained with him forever. And as much as these characters left an imprint in the minds of his audience, they remain an integral part of SRK’s life too. The actor took to his Twitter account and shared something special for his fans, something that reminded everyone about his long and enriching career. Shah Rukh will be completing 25 years in Bollywood in 2017. From playing a romantic guy to obsessive lover, a caring husband to a best friend, SRK has experimented with all kinds of roles. And along came several memorable characters too. The superstar was on a trip down the memory lane while cleaning the iconic costumes from his films.

I feel like I’ve joined the herd mentality of the silent society: Karan Johar

Filmmaker Karan Johar, whose Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was caught in a controversy for featuring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, has said he has become “scared” of expressing his opinion freely despite the fact that he continues to be “liberal” as a person. “I’m a liberal. In a headspace, that is extremely progressive about many things. But I just feel like I can’t say anything. I feel like I’ve joined the herd mentality of the silent society,” Karan said on “Bollywood Roundtable 2016 with Rajeev Masand”. “I feel scared to raise a point in my film, I feel scared to give an opinion and then I feel scared what’s going to happen during the release of my film,” added the filmmaker, who was under attack from right-wing Hindu outfits for casting Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Karan, known for his flamboyance and romantic dramas, said a filmmaker needs to go beyond just being behind the camera, to deal with actors. “Actors, according to me, are the most vulnerable, in...

Kangana would have done an adult film had she not got ‘Gangster’

OMG! Kangana would have done an adult film had she not got ‘Gangster’ We all know what it is to be an outsider to an industry made for the opportunists. It has never been easy to make a mark in an industry where your hits and flops decide your future. And to not be an insider or a star kid has its own disadvantages. And so it has been equally difficult for the likes of Kangana Ranaut to get lead roles in the industry. Kangana has managed to make a mark in the industry, with films like 'Tanu Weds Manu','Queen', and 'Fashion', Kangana has proved time and again that she is in the industry to stay! She debuted in Anurag Basu's 'Gangster', after which there was no looking back for her. But had it not been for 'Gangster', Kangana's would have ended up doing an adult film. Talking to on TV show 'Vh1 Inside Access', Kangana revealed, " I think the first ever would be the break that I got from my film 'Gangster'.....

Box Office: Dangal enters 200 Crore Club, goes past Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Happy New Year, 3 Idiots, Ek Tha Tiger lifetime in 8 days

Box Office: Dangal enters 200 Crore Club, goes past Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Happy New Year, 3 Idiots, Ek Tha Tiger lifetime in 8 days Dangal had another good day in office as it continued to collect on the second Friday as well. Typically, a film falls between Thursday and Friday due to arrival of a new biggie. However, there was no such threat for the Aamir Khan starrer since it is practically the only film in contention. There was no new Hindi release yesterday and hence there was no reduction in count of shows either. Moreover, audience interest is continuing to be on high, as a result of which Rs. 18.59 crore more came in. The film has now collected Rs. 216.13 crore and in the process entered the 200 crore Club. There have been only 9 films before Dangal that have managed to go past the 200 crore mark and the Nitesh Tiwari directed affair has already gone past three of these – 3 Idiots, Happy New Year, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – which feature Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Salman...

Top 12 Bollywood & TV Biggest Breakups of 2016

Image
2016 would be recorded as the year of the most heart breaking split since Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor went their separate ways. In 2016 the seemingly perfect Brad Pitt-Angelia Jolie togetherness dissolved. No one knows why it happened. Was it just meant to be? The Indian entertainment industry has never seen so many seemingly perfect couples ending their relationships. 1. Farhan Akhtar – Adhuna: The year started with the absolutely shocking end of Farhan Akhtar’s 15-year marriage with Adhuna with a simple mutual statement that spoke of growing apart. Farhan’s close family and friends were caught aback. Says a Farhan confidante, “We had no clue this was coming. Sometimes you see a marriage falling apart in front of your eyes. This one, we didn’t see coming. Farhan and Ahuna never let their differences show in public, never fought in front of family and friends.” If 2015 shocked us with Hrithik and Susanne’s split this year it was Farhan and his hairstylist wife Adhuna wh...

2016 Rewind: 10 best Bollywood films of the year

How does one even attempt a year-ender list like this, without expecting a bunch of abusive trolls and smart naysayers going, "What? Really?" Well, ideally, you don't. You can't compare apples and oranges. But hey, somebody has to. And it's fun, and apples and oranges are fruits, why can't you compare them? So well, here's what we thought were the 10 best Bollywood movies of 2016. I don't know how many of them you've already seen. Most of these I can catch again. But then again… Okay, so let the arguments begin! 1. Dangal: Yeah, it's become almost a cliché already to call it the best film of 2016. And our initial first was that it'd be a clichéd, strict-coach, underdog talent 'sports film', which it's so not, while it wonderfully explores not just wrestling as a sport, but relationships — between society and girls, father and daughter, sport and government, city and village… And most significantly, Aamir and his annual Christma...

Shraddha not comfortable sleeping in other people's homes

Shakti Kapoor has rubbished reports about dragging daughter Shraddha Kapoor out of Farhan Akhtar's house. The actor who had shared a photograph of his with wife Shivangi with this reporter on Christmas day from Goa said, "you have my photograph which I had WhatsApped on Christmas and the report said I was in Mumbai. The entire report is baseless. I have told my daughter not to get harrowed by such malicious stories." Shakti Kapoor goes on to add that he met his sister-in-law Padmini only last night to hand over the Goan food. He added, "they said I was there with her and the truth was I was with Siddhant and my wife Shivangi in Goa. Shivangi is still in Goa I came back for my shooting in Mumbai and I don't even know where Farhan lives." Shakti Kapoor even refutes the claim that his daughter has moved out of the house. "Shraddha has three houses and one of which has been gifted by me. She is a home bird; I don't really remember Shraddha sleepi...

Don’t philosophise until rich first: Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood’s romance king Shah Rukh Khan, who is one of the Bollywood stars in the Forbes list of worlds top 20 highest-paid actors, has said people should make money first and then philosophise. The onscreen ‘King of Romance’ says there’s nothing romantic about being poor. In an interview to GQ India’s January 2017 issue, the superstar said: “Don’t philosophise until you’re rich first. I used to be poor, and I can tell you there’s nothing romantic about it. When young people, friends, say they want to be great creative novelists, I advise them to be a copywriter first, make a little money. Don’t be a struggling artist; be a happy one.” What does he like spending money on? “It’s very important for me to smell good. I mix two fragrances - a Dunhill scent that’s only available at their London store as well as a Diptyque one. I’m not big on fashion, but I have a good eye. “I don’t like wearing formal shoes, so I mostly buy sneakers. I recently picked up these pre-distresse...
