Did you know Gulshan Grover was denied Moroccan Visa because of Shah Rukh Khan? — watch video

Gulshan Grover is one of the most loved badass villains of the Hindi Film Industry. And often, people mistake their reel avatars to be their real personas. The baddie visited the sets of India's Best Dancer and narrated an incident wherein, he was denied a Moroccan Visa once. Why? Because of Shah Rukh Khan. Don't get us wrong, Shah Rukh Khan is innocent. Gulshan Grover shared this hilarious incident that happened with him while on the sets of India's Best Dancer.

It so happened that while at a Moroccan airport, the actor's connecting flight was delayed. He went up to an official and asked for a Visa for a day. He provided his passport and ticket to her for confirmation. But the official refused, saying, "I will not give you Visa." When the actor asked why, she reasoned, "Because you beat Shah Rukh Khan. I don't like you."

"Shah Rukh Khan is my friend, my brother. I don't beat him or he doesn't beat me in real life. It is just in the movie," the actor explained while adding that the Badshah of Bollywood is showered with love from all across the globe. He also said that they love Bollywood films and songs while emphasizing their love for Shah Rukh Khan. Check out hiss video here:

Despite having a global fanbase, Shah Rukh never tried his luck in Hollywood. Reasoning as to why, he said, "I have not looked elsewhere. I'm a patriotic person. I've always wanted to do something great for Indian cinema, but not as an actor; that is not greatness. I wanted to work something out, where Indian cinema would gain from what I've done, like VFX, etc."

As per the latest reports, Shah Rukh Khan might team up with Tamil filmmaker Atlee. It is said to have a double role yet again. He reportedly has YRF's Pathan that also stars John Abraham and Deepika Padukone in the lead.

Anurag Kashyap summoned by the Mumbai Police tomorrow in Payal Ghosh sexual harassment case

A couple of weeks ago, Payal Ghosh accused filmmaker Anurag Kashyap of sexual misconduct. The actress alleged, as per reports, that he pushed her on the couch and tried to force himself on her. Anurag, on the other hand, had denied all of her claims. A complaint was registered by the Bengali actress at the Versova Police station. The FIR was registered under Indian Penal Code Sections 376 (I) (rape), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 342 (wrongful confinement), an official said, adding that further investigation is underway, as per PTI.

And now, as per the latest development, Anurag Kashyap has been summoned by the Mumbai police for interrogation concerning the same. Payal took to her social media handle and thanked the Mumbai police for their prompt action. "Thank you @MumbaiPolice... @anuragkashyap72 has been called tomorrow at versova police station for summoning and questioning. Let's hope justice prevails....!!" she tweeted out. Check out her tweet here:

The case is cold one as the said deed happened in 2013 when she visited the Manmarziyaan maker's house to discuss a project. On asked why she has opened up on the ordeal seven years later, the actress said, "I wanted to file a complaint but a couple of my close friends told me that if I said this to anyone, perhaps I will not be able to work in the film industry, and so it is better to remain silent. The Me Too movement gave me some courage. I shared it with my sister and cousin brother this month and after consulting my kin, we decided to file a complaint."

The filmmaker will appear before the Mumbai Police at 11 AM tomorrow, that is, 1st October 2020. Let's see how the case progresses.

Juhi Chawla reveals her children feel embarrassed to see her films because of THIS reason

Juhi Chawla has always carried this happy-go-lucky and bubby girl-next-door persona on the silver screen. Her smile made the audience in theatre smile and when she cried, people cried along with her. Youths even used to imagine themselves with her whenever she used to romance on screen. She made her debut in with Sultanat in 1986. Her roles in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Ishq, Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke and Yes Boss made everyone go weak in the knees. But as much as people enjoyed watching her romance onscreen, Juhi has now revealed that her kids, Jahnavi and Arjun, equally feel embarass to see her romantic films.

She revealed that her daughter and son were not to keen to watch her films that featured romance. Her son once told her that he would not watch any of her romantic films since he would find it strange to watch his mother romance with some other guy on screen.

"Actually, they are very embarrassed to see my films, especially the earlier ones. In fact, my husband (Jay Mehta) told them to watch Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke saying that it's quite a cute film. Then, Arjun asked me, 'Mom is there romance in that film?' and I was like, 'yes, it is a romantic comedy.' To this he replied, 'I don't want to see your films that feature romance. It gets very strange. So, I am not going to watch any of your films.' And that's it! They don't want to watch any of my films," Juhi Chawla told TOI in an interview adding that her kids only appreciated her performances in Main Krishna Hoon and Chalk n Duster.

As much as we know about Juhi, she surely knows how to amuse herself. Last month, she had taken to Instagram to share a meme from her 2019 film Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, and wrote, "If matchmaking was my way. I get amused by the fun stuff my team or fans send across. I've been enjoying memes now."

Apart from having a hearty laugh, she has been urging people to avoid plastic and save the planet. She had taken to Twitter, where she shared a photograph of three cartons of vegetables packed in plastic. "And this is how my veggies come home delivered ... drowned in plastic ..!!!!!... The ' Educated ' people creating the biggest mess on the planet ..!!! Don't know whether to laugh or cry!" Juhi had captioned the image. During the lockdown, she has also been helping farmers.

Mirzapur 2 new poster featuring Ali Fazal and Shweta Tripathi reeks of vengeance

The new poster of Mirzapur 2 featuring Ali Fazal as Guddu bhaiyya and Shweta Tripathi as Golu Gupta has raised the anticipation bar like never before. As the season 2 of Mirzapur is all set to lay its hands on the web on October 23, it seems like Golu and Guddu are ready to take on Kaleen bhaiyya (played by Pankaj Tripathi) and his son Phoolchand 'Munna' Tripathi (played by Divyendu Sharma) in the battlefield.

In the poster, Ali aka Guddu and Shweta aka Golu can be seen holding pistols in their hands and staring into each other's eyes. The poster reeks of vengeance and it seems like Golu and Guddu are not going to spare anyone as they begin blazing guns on the King of Mirzapur. Both Ali and Shweta took to Instagram to share the new poster of Mirzapur 2. "Kahe the hum, Ghar aaye to risk hai, ab bhugto," Ali wrote a dialogue from the web series while Shweta wrote, "Mirzapur par badi beti na sahi, choti raj karegi."

The first part of Mirzapur revolved around a crime lord Kaleen bhaiyya and how his empire is affected when two brothers, Guddu and Bablu (Ali Fazal and Vikrant Massey), get associated with his business. There's trouble when Kaleen bhaiyya's son Munna (Divyenndu) gets threatened by their presence. By the end of the season, we saw how Kaleen bhaiyya orders Munna to kill Guddu and Bablu. Munna manages to blow Bablu's head off with a shot gun and kills his love interest Pinky (Shriya Pilgaonkar) who was pregnant with Guddu's child. Guddu tells Golu to pick up the gun and starts shooting at Munna no matter the consequences and they manage to escape in the crowd.

It remains to be seen how things will unfold in Mirzapur 2 and there's no doubt that both Guddu and Golu will surprise everyone with their badass stint. The first part featured Pankaj Tripathi, Vikrant Massey, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Shweta Tripathi, Rasika Duggal and Kulbhushan Kharbandha in the lead. In Season 2 actors like Vijay Varma, Priyanshu Painyuli, Isha Talwar, Amit Sial, Anjum Sharma will be joining the cast.

The show has been directed by Gurmmeet Singh and Mihir Desai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner Excel Entertainment.

Bhumi Pednekar suggests a profession for Ranveer Singh; says he can be a 'Sex Upchaar doctor'

Well, we all know before making her acting debut, Bhumi Pednekar was an assistant casting director of YRF. In a candid chat during her appearance in No Filter Neha, the Sonchiriya actress spoke how Ranveer Singh blew away her mind with his acting skills while auditioning for Band Baaja Baaraat and got her intimidated. When asked her to suggest a profession for the live-wire Bajirao Mastani actress, Bhumi said he can be a 'Sex Upchaar doctor' as she thinks Ranveer will have some great hacks. Well, we are sure that this answer of Bhumi has left everyone is splits.

On the work front, Bhumi Pednekar will be next seen in Durgavati, which is the remake of Anushka Shetty starrer Telugu hit Bhaagamathie. Talking about it, Bhumi said, "Durgavati is going to take me in horror space. It is the most challenging and special film for me as it is for the first time the responsibility will be on my shoulders. Durgavati is something I'm most pressured and excited about. Akshay sir is a genius, I respect him." Directed by Ashok, the film is produced by Abundantia Entertainment's Vikram Malhotra.

On the other hand, Ranveer Singh will be next seen in '83, which also features wife Deepika Padukone in a key role. Talking about the actress coming on board, director Kabir Khan earlier told us in an exclusive interview, "I think the background, the fact that her dad, Prakash Padukone was a sports superstar, that influenced her very strongly. It wasn't because Deepika had agreed to do the film that I wrote the role. Deepika liked the role, and that's why she agreed to do the film. We never initially intended it that way (Deepika being a part of the film), and as Deepika said, there's a certain support role that the family plays, and I wanted to capture that, which is why I wrote the character of Romi, and when I narrated it to Deepika, I knew it was a small role. So, I said to Deepika, 'Just listen to the film. If you like it, you'll come on board, if not, you won't come on board. She heard the film, and she knew it was about the team and the boys and Kapil. But, she just loved the script and so, she came on board."

'Why isn’t Kangana Ranaut being summoned or questioned about what drugs she took?' questions Arshi Khan

Popular actress and model, Arsh Khan, who garnered fame with Bigg Boss 11, has once again targeted Kangana Ranaut as once again she questioned NCB that why didn't they questioned the Panga actress, when she had openly admitted of being a drug addict earlier. Recently NCB summoned actresses like Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shradddha Kapoor and Rakul Preet.

Talking to E Times, Arshi said, "It is not just Bollywood, but a lot of other places across the country have very easy access to drugs. For example, so many paan shops sell rolling paper why? Premium CBD oil is easily available in online stores. So, instead of just implicating the actors from Bollywood, the law and media must equally question anyone who was or is involved in buying, selling or consumption of drugs."

Targeting the Tanu Weds Manu actress, she added, "Kangana Ranaut has openly admitted to being a drug addict and of being injected with drugs by a top Bollywood member. Why isn't she being summoned or questioned about what drugs she took, how much and who provided them to her? Deepika's chats are also from 2017. What if she too says she used to be a drug addict and now she's not? What's the connection and why is the country treating these two actresses differently? Are we after drugs or actresses? Fact remains that if one criminal exposes ten others, they still remain guilty of a crime."

Suggesting what measures should government take to end this drug cycle, Arshi asserted, "I believe that just like sports, where all members go through stringent drug tests before a match, the entertainment industry can also adopt the same practice before a film shoot begins. Everyone from the main star cast, production unit to spot boys should undergo a stringent drug test. Testing hair follicles can reveal if you've consumed drugs in the past 6-9 months. We have a censor board to censor words, we can certainly have a drugs committee to ensure that stars remain clean in order to have a successful career in Indian film industry."

Bigg Boss 14: Is the show going the Roadies way by having mentors to guide their teams?

Bigg Boss 14 may turn out to be one of the biggest seasons of all time considering the surge in viewership on several TV shows during lockdown. There's no doubt that Salman Khan hosted controversial reality show has always been on their top list. The makers are also trying to cater to audience's needs. In this year's Bigg Boss theme, the contestants will enjoy some never-before-seen luxuries. There will be a mall, a mini-theatre, spa, and a restaurant-style corner inside Bigg Boss 14 house. Contestants will be able to enjoy the benefits of these items by winning their chance through luxury tasks.

In addition, the makers of Bigg Boss 14 have also appointed a few mentors such as Sidharth Shukla, Hina Khan, Gauahar Khan and Prince Narula. These mentors will allegedly guide the contestants on how to plan their game inside the house and pave their path to Bigg Boss 14 finale and eventually win the trophy. However, there's no clarity on what role these mentors will be playing inside the house and for how long they will plan their stay.

However, the way these mentors have been introduced by Salman Khan, it seems like Bigg Boss 14 is going the Roadies way. Since both TV shows are managed by the Endemol team, one cannot rule out this possibility. But this Bigg Boss and Roadies crossover may require a lot of changes and the makers are yet to confirm these rising speculations about the controversial reality show.

A couple of previous seasons of Roadies saw mentors such as Rannvijay Singha, Prince Narula, Neha Dhupia, Nikhil Chinapa and rapper Raftaar guiding their team members to victory. They were seen helping out the contestants win various tasks and even saving them from elimination using their respective powers.

Replicating Roadies format into Bigg Boss might actually give a thrilling experience to the viewers who would be rooting for their favourite contestant to win. If this really happens, it will be interesting to see how the contestants will plot their game and influence others to work against their teammates. Viewers might want to add some value to their game plan by suggesting some of their strategies to the contestants during Weekend Ka Vaar episodes.

It remains to be seen how the makers of Bigg Boss 14 would plan the show's script if ever these speculations turn out to be true. And since the show is just a couple of days away from airing its premiere, we will wait for the things to unfold and expect the makers to surprise us with hidden packages.

Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan gives a befitting reply to trolls, who called her ugly and kaali; says, 'I'm 5"3 and brown and I am extremely happy about it'

Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's daughter Suhana Khan has shared some of the derogatory remarks, which she received from trolls on social media, who called her kaali and ugly. The 20-year-old kid gave a befitting reply to them with a strong message of ending colourism and wrote, "There's a lot going on right now and this is one of the issues we need to fix!! this isn't just about me, it's about every young girl/boy who has grown up feeling inferior for absolutely no reason. Here are just a few of the comments made about my appearance. I've been told I'm ugly because of my skin tone, by full grown men and women, since I was 12 years old. Other than the fact that these are actual adults, what's sad is that we are all indian, which automatically makes us brown - yes we come in different shades but no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the melanin, you just can't. Hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure. I'm sorry if social media, Indian matchmaking or even your own families have convinced you, that if you're not 5"7 and fair you're not beautiful. I hope it helps to know that I'm 5"3 and brown and I am extremely happy about it and you should be too. #endcolourism"

Suhana Khan studied films at England's Ardingly College and is currently a student at the New York University. She also featured in a short film titled The Grey Part Of Blue, which was directed by Theodore Gimeno.

Bigg Boss 14: From IPL to negative buzz around Salman Khan, 4 factors that might affect the show’s TRP this season

Bigg Boss 14 is almost here. It is one of the most anticipated shows on Indian TV. Bigg Boss 13 was a huge it and expectations are high from this season as well. But this time, things might be a bit different. There are certain factors which might affect the popularity of the show which might also result in low TRPs. Let's have a look.

IPL

The Indian Premier League usually begins in the month of May but this year, it got delayed due to Corornavirus. At one point, the authorities were even planning to cancel it. It's been just a few days since the matches started in the UAE, and the excitement is already high. We have seen some close finishes, and the tournament will only get better as we reach the play offs. It is sure to divide the audience and will pose as a huge threat for Bigg Boss.

Negative publicity around Salman Khan

Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14, many celebs have had to face the wrath of his fans. One such actor is Salman Khan. He has been accused of nepotism and some of his posts on social media got a very bad response. So him hosting Bigg Boss might not please the audience this time. It has also been evident in the couple of polls we conducted among our audience.

Too much engagement on news channel

Sushant Singh Rajput's case is still the main news on news channels. Even the subsequent drug probe has caught the attention of people. Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor were summoned recently. There have been reports of more A-list celebs being summoned in near future. So even this topic might garner more interest than Bigg Boss.

Less movie promotions

The Coronavirus pandemic has severely impacted the film industry. Theatres are shut since March. While some movies were released directly on OTT platforms, the promotions weren't that much. Many celebs used to visit the Bigg Boss house to promote their films, but this year, it seems the scenario will be different. There might be only a few celebs and star power that might affect attracting eyeballs.

What do you think? Will you watch Bigg Boss 14? Let us know in the poll below.

WTF Wednesday: Whether it’s SP Balasubrahmanyam or Sushant Singh Rajput, rumouring-mongering around the deceased is the biggest low of this lockdown

Legendary singer SP Balasubrahmanyam left the mortal world on September 25, 2020. While we are still coming on terms with his demise, the unnecessary rumour-mongering is adding to the agony of the family. Sensationalism around the deaths of celebs is not new, but the utter lack of sensitivity clears shows that the concept of respect for the deceased is eroding. SP Balasubrahmanyam's son SP Charan had to answer questions relating to his father's hospital bills and his relations with Thala Ajith within days of his demise. SP Charan had to issue clarifications on the matter. Later, he requested people to avoid such gossip as the family was in grief.

It is not only SP Balasubrahmanyam's death, but we have seen the lows that media can touch with Sushant Singh Rajput's demise. What explains this utter lack of humanity? Is it sheer voyeurism? This was not the case even some years back. One of the reasons could be social media. With celebs sharing their lives with fans on a more regular basis, the aura of mystery has died down. This has made people more inquisitive. And insensitive too. Somehow, we have forgotten that they are humans too!

Our cultural ethos always told us to respect the deceased. Here, news channel are ready to character assassinate even the departed for the sake of TRPs. Anyone following the Sushant Singh Rajput case will understand what it means. While we understand that it is business at the end of the day, we wonder what kind of precedent does it send to people. SP Charan, son of SPB had to explain that everything was fine between Thala Ajith and his family after people asked why was he not present at the funeral? The curiosity around top stars is understandable, but there is something called sensitivity and grace. This scenario is more worrying given how people are consuming news in this lockdown.

Sushant Singh Rajput case: #CBIFile302InSSRCase trends on Twitter as netizens feel the actor was murdered

With the drug probe angle in focus, it seemed as if Sushant Singh Rajput's case was taking a backseat. But now, #CBIFile302InSSRCase is trending on Twitter as netizens feel the actor was murdered. Here are some of the tweets:

Yesterday, the CBI issued an official statement into the matter. It read: The Central Bureau of Investigation is conducting a professional investigation related to the death of Shri Sushant Singh Rajput in which all aspects are being looked at and no aspect has been ruled out as of date. The investigation is continuing.

BJP MP Subramanian Swamy recently reacted to CBI's statement and wrote, "CBI has issued a Media Release which brings some transparency about what is going on. But CBI needs to do more than a Media Release about all possibilities. That is, need a FIR [or add to the Court transferred Patna FIR] with murder [IPC 302] as the crime, & arrest suspects."

A few days ago, Subramanian had also asked for an FIR u/s 302. He had written, "It is troubling for SSR fans to see various investigations are treading too cautiously for the satisfaction of those who want early justice for Sushant. I think it about time CBI registers an FIR u/s 302 since it is bound to do so under law given the information obtained so far."

SSR's friend Aneesha Madhok: People should treat Rhea Chakraborty with respect, Sushant believed in peace

Rhea Chakraborty has been subjected to witch-hunt ever since Sushant Singh Rajput's family filed an FIR accusing her of abetment to suicide. While people including Bollywood celebrities have been demanding justice for Sushant and want to know the reason behind his death, there's also a section which has been batting for Rhea against her vilification. People have become polarised between supporting Sushant and Rhea, with online campaigns #JusticeforSushant and #JusticeforRhea trending regularly. Sushant's friend and actress Aneesha Madhok too is against the kind of treatment that has been given to Rhea by the electronic media and people declaring her as a murderer on social media platforms.

Aneesha says that she want justice for Sushant but she also believes that people should treat his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty with respect. She feels Bollywood needs to be united on the subject. ""Bollywood shouldn't be divided. It is a multilayered situation. Being a friend of SSR, I would like his case to be taken seriously. I would like justice for his soul. At the same time, I believe that people should treat Rhea with respect. Sushant believed in peace and he would have wanted people to not hate," She told IANS. "I just want justice for Sushant. That's all I want. Time will tell if what is happening today is right or wrong," she added.

Recalling her happy memories of Sushant, Aneesha said, "I was introduced to Sushant by my mother, who met him at a Delhi party. We met for the first time when he came to New York for IIFA 2017. I was still studying at the University of Southern California. He was sweet enough to take me to IIFA, and he mentored me. He told me that I should get used to this stuff as that will be me someday on the red carpet! Imagine if you are in school and a celebrity tells you he believes in you?! He was such a positive influence," she recalled.

Meanwhile, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has submitted a report in the court saying that Rhea is an active member of a drug syndicate connected with high society personalities and drug suppliers. With several high profile Bollywood personalities being investigated by NCB, the enforcement body has now said clearly that "high society personalities" are involved with a drug syndicate and drug suppliers, of which Rhea is a member. Rhea is accused of harbouring late actor, Sushant Singh Rajput for consumption of drugs.

NCB said there is sufficient evidence to say that Rhea is involved in drug trafficking. She used to facilitate drug deliveries and payments through credit cards, cash and payment gateways for the contraband. Rhea also allowed her residence for drug storage and consumption for Sushant, NCB said. It further said that Rhea used to manage finance for drug procurement along with Sushant. She also used to procure drugs for Sushant, NCB said. NCB has also detailed drug transactions undertaken in this regard.

On the jurisdiction issue, NCB has affirmed that it has studied the Supreme Court order on CBI investigations in the unnatural death of Sushant, NCB said the present case pertains to NDPS and therefore it has jurisdiction.

Bigg Boss 14: Is Shardul Pandit also going to be on the Salman Khan hosted show?

Bigg Boss 14 is coming from this weekend. All eyes are on Salman Khan's show. There is a lot of buzz on who will be the contestants going inside the reality show. If some Khabris on social media are to be believed, then Shardul Pandit is also going inside. He is known as a TV actor and host. There is buzz that he might enter the house after 14 days. It looks like the format will be similar to last year when there is a first padhav. Around 14 people will be entering in on Sunday. However, they are in talks with more people just like it happened last year.

There is buzz that Shardul Pandit might join in after 14 days. In fact, even Shahzad Deol is expected to enter then. However, there is no clarity on the same. This season, we have some top names from the industry like Eijaz Khan, Rubina Dilaik, Abhinav Shukla, Jasmin Bhasin, Pavitra Punia, Nikki Tamboli, Naina Singh and others. The squad of 2020 have a tough task at hand as the previous season was a huge blockbuster. The kind of drama Sidharth Shukla, Asim Riaz, Shehnaaz Gill and Rashami Desai created might be tough to match up in the coming days.

Sidharth Shukla, Gauahar Khan, Hina Khan and Prince Narula are also a part of the show. They will come as mentors. The show will be premiering from October 3, 2020 on Colors. Prince Narula, Gauahar Khan and Sidharth Shukla are all past winners of the show. We have to wait for the drama to unfold.

Did you know Chadwick Boseman took a pay cut so that Sienna Miller could be compensated fairly?

Actress Sienna Miller, who played a key role in Chadwick Boseman's 21 Bridges, remembered the Black Panther star and shared a incident, where the actor took a pay cut, so that she could get the remuneration the actress deserved and demanded. Talking to Empire, she said, "He produced 21 Bridges, and had been really active in trying to get me to do it. He was a fan of my work, which was thrilling, because it was reciprocated from me to him, tenfold. So he approached me to do it, he offered me this film, and it was at a time when I really didn't want to work anymore. I'd been working non-stop and I was exhausted, but then I wanted to work with him."

She added, "I didn't know whether or not to tell this story, and I haven't yet. But I am going to tell it, because I think it's a testament to who he was. This was a pretty big budget film, and I know that everybody understands about the pay disparity in Hollywood, but I asked for a number that the studio wouldn't get to. And because I was hesitant to go back to work and my daughter was starting school and it was an inconvenient time, I said, 'I'll do it if I'm compensated in the right way.' And Chadwick ended up donating some of his salary to get me to the number that I had asked for. He said that that was what I deserved to be paid."

"It was about the most astounding thing that I've experienced. That kind of thing just doesn't happen. He said, 'You're getting paid what you deserve, and what you're worth.' It's just unfathomable to imagine another man in that town behaving that graciously or respectfully. In the aftermath of this I've told other male actor friends of mine that story and they all go very, very quiet and go home and probably have to sit and think about things for a while. But there was no showiness, it was, 'Of course I'll get you to that number, because that's what you should be paid,'" concluded Sienna Miller.

Bigg Boss 14: Gia Manek to not enter the Salman Khan hosted controversial reality show for THIS reason?

While a few days back, we saw the name of Gia Manek aka Gopi Bahu from Saath Nibhana Saathiya in the contestant list of Bigg Boss 14, the latest reports suggest that she won't enter the show as her deal with the channel didn't work out. While celebs like Rubina Dilaik, Abhinav Shukla, Jasmin Bhasin, Nishant Malkhani, Eijaz Khan and others are most likely to enter the Salman Khan's controversial reality show, reportedly, the celebs are quarantining in a Goregaon hotel.

As per the PinkVilla report, a source said, "Gia was all set to enter the house but her deal with the channel did not work out. Gia would definitely had been an addition to the show and with an anticipation about her camaraderie with Nishant Malkhani, the buzz would have definitely picked up. However, Abhinav Shukla's entry will definitely fill that void especially given that Rubina and Abhinav share a great chemistry. The duo was perhaps the last ones to give their nod for the show."

In a recently held virtual conference, Salman Khan said, "I feel the 15/16 contestants who are going inside must be happy that they are getting work. There are not many jobs available in the market and even if people are getting work they are getting infected from COVID. So, the work is getting worse. The people who are going inside will be first quarantined and then sent in. They will be safe inside and can do anything. People who are working outside will have to be very careful. But I am very happy that a show like Bigg Boss is giving employment to so many people. I also know people are waiting to watch season 14" So, are you excited for BB 14?

Kareena Kapoor wishes Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu’s daughter Inaya on her 3rd birthday with an adorable Taimur pic

Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu's daughter Inaya turns 3 today. Kareena Kapoor took to Instagram to wish the birthday girl. She posted a pic of Inaya with Taimur and wrote, "Happy birthday our beautiful Innaya." She followed this with heart and balloon emojis.

Soha also wished Inaya on Instagram with a family pic.

Kareena seems to be on a wishing spree. Yesterday, she took to Instagram to wish cousin Ranbir Kapoor and aunt Rima Jain. "Great minds, great people born on the same day...wah," she wrote as he shared cute pics. "Happy birthday, best aunt and best bro," Kareena added.

In a chat session with Anupama Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan was quizzed about nepotism with reference to Taimur Ali Khan.

"I think everyone gets what they deserve in their lives, what is there in their destiny. Yeh nahi hai ki Taimur Ali Khan is going to become the biggest star in this country. He's not. He's probably the most photographed child in this country, for whatever reason, I have no clue. I will also wish for my son that he be self-sufficient and self-reliant. I am like you do what you want to do in life. You want to be a chef somewhere, a pilot, whatever you want to do," Kareena said.

She added, "I want him to fly and be happy in his life. And it's not necessary that because he has successful parents, he will be successful. His journey is going to start when he wants to start. He has to find his own path. His parents are not going to help him in whatever way."

On the work front, Kareena Kapoor will be next seen in Laal Singh Chaddha along with Aamir Khan and Mona Singh. Talking about the film, it is a remake of Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump. The latter was based on a 1986's novel by the same name, written by Winston Groom. Tom Hanks played the lead character alongside Robert Wright and Gary Sinise. The drama received several accolades and was the biggest hit of that year.

Meanwhile, Hanks was applauded for his performance with the Best Actor Oscar award. The movie also performed well at the Golden Globes, People's Choice Awards, and Young Artist Awards. It is written by Atul Kulkarni and directed by Secret Superstar helmer Advait Chandan.

After Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli calls Sona Mohapatra 'Below Average Junk', she hits back saying, 'Kangana might be impressing the mediocre with her messiah avatar'

Kangana Ranaut has got immense media attention post the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. We have seen how many Twitter volleys she has been involved in, of late. The latest one is between Kangana Ranaut, Sona Mohapatra and Rangoli Chandel. It all started from the time when Sona Mohapatra, the singer took a jibe at Kangana Ranaut's sense of selective feminism. This is after she had taken a sly dig at Anushka Sharma. Sona Mohapatra wrote that Kangana Ranaut only knows how to stand up for herself, and should get herself some feminist friends.

Rangoli Chandel wrote, "Sona ji I don't even know who you are and what you do, but I keep seeing you on Kangana's Google page all the time commenting on everything that she says, Kangana loves responding to trolls who stimulate her intellectually or emotionally. What will she talk to you about? You have nothing to offer her, she can't stand below average junk..." Now, Sona Mohapatra did not take lightly to this. She commented, "Hahaha..the sister of the flag-bearer of the fight against what?Not nepotism for sure. My sisters don't speak for me or troll for me,I have two.Also, Kangana might be impressing the mediocre with her messiah avatar, not me, surely not any basic intellect, forget intellectual."

Sona Mohapatra is known to be very outspoken. She was the forefront during the #MeToo movement that happened in India. Now, we have to see how much this matter gets stretched in the coming days!

While posting the video, the fan had written, "I Don't want to share this video but sharing just because if everyou feel to watch any bollywood movie just see this once #justiceforsushantsinghrajput."

Recently Ankita had written an emotional post on Sushant's third month death anniversary. She wrote, "Time flies fast . Life goes on at its own pace But some memories can never be forgotten of our dearest ones. You will always remain in our thoughts Sushant . #Justice4SSRIsGlobalDemand #itsalready3monthstoday@shwetasinghkirt@vikirti @jainvick." Arjun Bijlani shared a beautiful video of Sushant's memories and planted a tree as he captioned the post, "14 sept... 3 months ... Will remember him for all the goodness in him...@sushantsinghrajput...SSR #plants4ssr."

In a past interview to Times Now, Ankita spoke about Sushant and said that he wasn't depressed. "How much ever I know him, he wasn't a depressed guy. I have not seen a person like Sushant, a guy who used to write his own dreams, he had a diary... He had his 5-year plan what he wants to do, how he will look, etc. And exactly after 5 years, he had fulfilled them. And when things like 'depression' are used after his name... it is heartbreaking. He might be upset, anxious, yes, but depression is a big word. Calling someone 'bipolar' is a big thing. The Sushant that I know he came from a small town. He established himself on his own. He has taught me so many things, he taught me acting. Kisi ko pata bhi hai Sushant kaun aur kya tha (does anybody even know who the real Sushant was)? Everyone is writing their own portrayal of how 'depressed' he was, it hurts reading all of this."

Sushant Singh Rajput case: AIIMS findings cast doubt on postmortem done by Cooper Hospital?

The death of Sushant Singh Rajput has left fans with many questions. However, the news is that AIIMS has given its report to the CBI. As per a report in Times Now, the medical board is going to further analyze the report of Mumbai's Cooper Hospital. They have said that the lighting in the mortuary room was poor, and they could not see the body with a lot of clarity. They have again mentioned that time of death is not given in the report. However, they have said that no traces of organic poison has been found in the body. Organic poison is toxin derived from plants.

BJP MP Subramaniam Swamy has said that CBI should file an FIR under section 302 with the evidence that they have in hand. Well, section 302 implies Punishment For Murder. With the current findings, it is sort of veering towards a case of homicide. With the pictures that circulated on social media, it looked like some struggle had taken place. It seems the AIIMS panel is not contradicting the CBI probe. Both the agencies have not given a clean chit to anyone. This is what is being reported by Times Now.

Of course, the challenge remains the investigation of the death of Disha Salian. The news of his manager allegedly committing suicide on June 8, 2020 left him devastated. It seems he fainted on hearing the news. As per reports, he Sushant asked Siddharth Pithani to keep him updated with the news relating to Disha Salian. On June 8, 2020 he apparently told Rhea Chakraborty to leave the house as his sister Meetu Singh was coming. Now, three different versions of why she left is in the public domain. The sister stayed on till June 12 and left as her daughter was with a friend. On June 14, 2020 he was found hanging at his Bandra residence.

'Married actresses don't have a value in society,' says Fighter director Puri Jagannadh

Popular south director, who is known for helming blockbusters like Badri, Chirutha, iSmart Shankar and many others, recently said in his podcast that if you are passionate about your work than you shouldn't get married. The filmmaker, who is a follower of Osha, said in his Puri Musings, "If you want to keep learning, if you want to travel the world, avoid marriage. If you want to indulge in watching TV serials with your spouse, drench in the rain with your family and such silly activities, please opt for marriage."

He added, "Geniuses don't marry. No religion says marriage is wrong. If any religion were to say it, it will go out of existence. Organized religion sees marriage as a business opportunity, as priests earn money by solemnizing weddings. If your father forces you to get married, ask him to walk the talk and get married before yourself. Married actresses don't have a value in society."

Meanwhile, Puri Jagannadh will soon resume the shoot of his pan-India project Fighter, which features Vijay Deverakonda, Ananya Panday, Ronit Roy and Baahubali star Ramya Krishnan in pivotal roles. The Hindi version of the film is presented by Karan Johar under his banner Dharma Productions. According to Mumbai Mirror, Vijay Deverakonda underwent hardcore training and followed a strict diet to prepare for his character. The Geetha Govindam star also visited Thailand to learn mixed martial arts and various other fight forms. In the film, Deverakonda will be seen flaunting six-pack abs.

Talking about the film, Ronit informed a leading daily, "It is a pan-India action film that will feature a lot of mixed martial arts and will be shot extensively in the next six months." The film is expected hit the screens in 2021. So, are you excited for this venture?
