It is something Ekta has trusted me with and I have to give my 200% to it."

She added, "I think I am just looking at the response and it is amazing. I did not expect this because people have seen great faces in the previous seasons, be it Mouni Roy, Adaa Khan, Surbhi Jyoti, Nia Sharma, Jasmin Bhasin, I feel everybody was so amazing, hence I have to work double hard and I am enjoying every bit of it." Surbhi Chandna has definitely done well in the show and one cannot imaging any other actress in her place as Adi Naagin.

Bigg Boss 14: Kavita Kaushik's Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa choreographer, Rajit Dev, sees her as the winner, but says, 'She has to win people’s hearts'

Bigg Boss 14's wild card contestant Kavita Kaushik has been the most talked about now. She entered along with Naina Singh and Shardul Pandit but her ugly fight with Eijaz Khan was not liked by the audience and hence she was eliminated. Later she returned to the show but this time the whole house was against her and Kavita is all alone fighting for herself. She had been a part of a dancing reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Her celebrity choreographer Rajit Dev from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa sees a winner in her. In an interview with ETimes, he said, "I am so proud of her, she's a strong, independent woman and also very fun loving. I will describe her as a champion because the way she talks makes her personality come across as very strong. She's very well-read, is aware of what she speaks, her command on Hindi and English is very good. She's a good leader. She's a tough cookie, but also like a coconut hard on the exterior, but soft inside. I think she can also read people's minds. The more people corner her by making a team, the stronger she becomes."

Rajit spoke about the housemates' game in the show. He said, "I think everyone's real self comes out from one day inside the house. It's not as easy as it looks from the outside. Contestants start using foul and abusive language, which is not good for the game. However, if that is their true self, which they can't hide, it will come out naturally." Rajit Dev also said that the winning spirit comes to Kavita naturally. He said, "Frankly, when she did 'Jhalak...' with me, she wasn't in a competitive mode because she said she wanted to learn dance and have fun. But every time we came in the bottom that spirit of fighting and winning came naturally to her."

Rajit also spoke about her eviction soon after she entered. He said, "I don't know why she got out when she has so many fans. I see her as a winner, but obviously she has to win people's hearts and she's doing it very well as of now."

After criticising Kangana Ranaut for comparing Mumbai with PoK, Urmila Matondkar to join Shiv Sena on Tuesday

Bollywood actor Urmila Matondkar, who had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections on a Congress ticket and quit the party later, will join the Shiv Sena on Tuesday, a party functionary said.

Harshal Pradhan, a close aide of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, on Sunday said that Matondkar will join the party in the CM's presence.

Matondkar's name has been forwarded to Governor B S Koshyari by the Shiv Sena for nomination to the Legislative Council from the governor's quota. The names of 11 others have also been forwarded by the three-party Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government for their nomination from the governor's quota.

The governor is yet to approve the list of 12 names.

Matondkar had unsuccessfully contested the 2019 Lok Sabha election from Mumbai North constituency as a Congress candidate. However, she had later quit the party over the functioning of the Mumbai unit of the Congress.

Recently, she had criticised actor Kangana Ranaut for comparing Mumbai with Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and the nepotism issue.

'Shah Rukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits,' when Aamir Khan referred to SRK as his dog

Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan have a great bond now, but there was a time when there was no love lost between the two actors. This was when Aamir Khan used to blog regularly.

The actor has once written on his blog, "I'm sitting under a tree, on the edge of a valley, approximately 5000 feet above sea level... Ammi, Ira and Junaid are by my side and we are in the middle of one of our favourite board games. Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?"

That was not all. Aamir had reacted to SRK's statement in which King Khan called himself the "biggest brand". Aamir had said, "If an artist is really No. 1, he will never call himself that. Only those who are not No. 1 feel the need to proclaim their top status. Has Lata Mangeshkar or Amitabh Bachchan ever called themselves No. 1?"

He had also said, "I had absolutely no intention of kicking Shah Rukh off his pedestal. Though I have to say, I don't think, he ever was on it. In my opinion, the actor who I really look up to is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. He is someone who's work I really liked, a fantastic actor and the kind of stardom Mr. Bachchan has seen, none of us can ever hope to see."

On the current work front, it is believed that SRK will be seen doing a cameo in Aamir starrer Laal Singh Chaddha. Accoriding to a Mumbai Mirror report, SRK shot for the film before flying for UAE with Gauri Khan and his kids. The report also mentioned that Aamir Khan turned director for his scenes. It also turned out to be a bonding session for them. After shooting the scenes, Aamir and Shah Rukh reportedly chatted over drinks together and were also seen joking on the sets.

Karan Johar gives an epic reaction to a troll who compares him with Bollywood wives — read tweet

Karan Johar has been at the receiving end of trolls ever since Kangana Ranaut accused the filmmaker of being the flagbearer of nepotism.

However, Karan is back now after the release of his Netflix series Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives.

And while Karan being a perfect host for these Bollywood wives to make them spill out of their deep hidden secrets, a Twitter user took a dig at Karan Johar calling him the favourite wife among the fabulous wives.

"I think we can all agree that the favorite wife in Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives is Karan Johar.#NetflixIndia," tweeted the user.

However, Karan took the dig sportingly and in fact even appreciated the sense of humour of the troll calling it refreshing and had a big laugh over it. "Ok this really made me laugh! Rolling on the floor laughing, A troll with a sense of humour is so refreshing! Thanks Doc!" KJo replied to the tweet.

'How cutee,' Shehnaaz Gill is all hearts for Juhi Parmar's daughter, Samairra, as she dance to Shona Shona with her Nanaji — watch video

Shehnaaz Gill and Sidharth Shukla have a huge fan base amongst kids. The adoration for #SidNaaz transcends all barriers. Their latest song Shona Shona is making news for their cute chemistry. We have seen many kids making Insta reels on the same. Juhi Parmar's daughter Samairra has made a reel with her maternal grandfather. Both of them are twinning in blue for the cute video. Juhi Parmar is now working on the show, Indiawali Maa. Samairra is quite active on Instagram as it is evident from her page. Shehnaaz Gill has loved her Instagram reel and left a 'How Cuteee' comment for it. The Bigg Boss 13 contestant is all hearts for it.

Yesterday, Neha Kakkar and her brother, Tony came on Bigg Boss 14 to promote the song, Shona Shona. While many people are complaining that the video is copied from a Korean pop number, the song has got a good response. Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill have told fans to make reels on them. The song was shot in Chandigarh, Punjab. Talking about the video, Sidharth Shukla said, "2020 due to the pandemic has given music videos a huge opportunity. They are short term shoots and films were completely on hold with theatres shut and tv too wasn't operating for months, and OTT was majorily releasing content shot before the pandemic. Hence, I feel music videos had a huge advantage during this period as people were consuming more content digitally and music truly has no language, it lightens one's mood. And with shoots lasting anywhere from one to a few days, it was actually possible to shoot, edit and release some sort of entertainment in these difficult times when it comes to music videos."

Amrita Rao on actors’ social media presence: Earlier it was important to have talent, now there's talent management

Actress Amrita Rao has said that these days social media presence of actors has become very important. She says the concept of visibility for an actor has changed courtesy social media and talent management firms, as compared to the time she made her Bollywood debut in 2002.

"Before the era of social media and PR machinery that we are seeing these days, an actor's popularity and celebrity status was a byproduct of his or her talent. When I entered the industry as a teenager and appeared in films like Ishq Vishk, Masti, and Main Hoon Naa, people noticed me because of my performance, although a film like Main Hoon Na has superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Sushamita Sen. These days, actors are becoming popular also because of their presence on social media. I think for an actor, being remembered for a character and film is more important," Amrita told IANS.

She continued, "There is nothing wrong with becoming a popular celebrity on social media, just that there is a huge change that has happened. I entered the industry during the transition period. Earlier, it was important to have talent and as an artiste, we used to sharpen our skills. Now there is something called talent management! In a way, it is a good cultural change that lets artistes feel more secure with job opportunity," explained the actress.

Can Amrita recall the moment she felt recognised in the pre-social media era?

"Yes, I clearly remember that because I had a mixed feeling. Whenever I recall it, it brings a smile on my face. All of us were entering the venue, and the photographers were there, on the occasion of the success party of 'Main Hoon Naa'. There was a group of college students standing out there who saw me and calling out my name as 'Sanjana Sanjana !' I was so young back then that I didn't know how to react, I smiled, put a palm on my face because I was feeling shy! In my head, it was like 'what just happen? This meant they really watched my film and recognised me!!' It was an over-the-moon feeling of a youngster!" she giggled.

After the cult film, Apne, director Anil Sharma & producer Deepak Mukut brings three generations of Deols Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Karan Deol together for its sequel, Apne 2. This Guru Nanak Jayanti just got more special, when the makers and the family decided to announce it's sequel with the blessings of Guru Nanak Ji. Remember how the terrific Deol trio of the legendary superstar Dharmendra and his two sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol created magic on screen with Apne? Now, 14 years later, the team is up for an encore. Joining the terrific trio this time will be Sunny's elder son Karan Deol, and that makes this project even more interesting.

Anil Sharma and Deepak Mukut has got a casting coup in place and Anil Sharma will be the only director in Bollywood to have worked with the three generations of the Deols.

The second installment of the film has been in the works for sometime and now, the entire script is in place. Keeping the essence and values of the first film, Apne 2 promises to take the original engaging story many notches higher in its action, drama, emotions and entertainment with new characters being added in. The makers will be shooting from March next year, in Punjab and Europe and the family entertaining sports drama is being readied for a grand release on Diwali 2021.

Legendary superstar Dharmendra shares, "Apne is one of the best films of my life. A joint effort by the whole unit, received very well by you all. Now, I'm very happy because I will get to shoot Apne 2 with my entire family - my sons Sunny, Bobby and my grandson Karan. It will be a very special film and I am looking forward to shoot."

In fact, BollywoodLife was the first to get a quote and some inside scoop on Apne 2, when Bobby Deol had revealed to us in an exclusive interview, "There's a film (after Aashram 2) with my dad (Dharmendra) and my brother (Sunny Deol), Apne part 2, which we're working on the script for, so, hopefully, that should start mid-next year. It is going to be a completely different story (from 2007's Apne), but it is going to be definitely based on boxing,"

Anticipation levels have sky rocketed and this will definitely be the big Diwali extravaganza next year to look forward to. Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. Presents Apne 2 starring Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Karan Deol. Directed by Anil Sharma and Produced by Deepak Mukut, the film is slated to release on Diwali, 2021.

Arshi Khan on Mary Aur Marlow: It's a double-meaning show but also a fun title

Actress and Bigg Boss 11 contestant, Arshi Khan, is out exploring her comic side in the OTT space and she is aware her new show comes with loads of double meaning. She is seen trying her hand at comedy in the web series Mary Aur Marlow. She stars opposite Akshay Mishra in the series that revolves around Mary and Marlow, where Mary (Arshi) ends up becoming a sexpert for grassroot level people who cannot afford to go to the doctor or specialist.

Since Mary's Hindi is not up to the mark, Akshay, who plays Marlow, helps her communicate with the people she sets out to help. However, when he tries using 'shudh' Hindi, it leads to unintentional double meaning language.

From the trailer and title, it is not surprisingly evident that the show has a lot of double-meaning dialogues.

"It's a double-meaning show but I think Mary Aur Marlow is also a fun title. After hearing the title, people think it will have bold content but when they watch it, they will realise it's a fun show, which has a lot of comic scenes," Arshi told IANS in a telephonic interview.

Reacting to the government's decision, to put all digital media portals, including online news and Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting regulation, Arshi said, "The government should definitely regulate digital platforms because nowadays there are a lot of web series that are showing vulgar content and people of any age group can access the internet. So, the government surely needs to keep an eye on them."

Arshi feels she has a good comic timing. "I never find it difficult to do comedy on screen because I feel my comic timing is really good, so I like to act in shows which have comic content," Arshi said.

"I had a really nice experience shooting for this series and I had a lot of fun working with (director) Anirudh (Kumar) while we were shooting for it. We have released just one episode of the show and I hope the audience will have a lot more fun watching the next episodes," she added about the show, currently streaming on Big Movie Zoo App.

Sidharth Shukla was always kind of active on Twitter. People love his natural wit and sarcasm. He is now active on Instagram too.

Talking about his professional assignments, he told BollywoodLife, "Having said that, honestly there have been a lot of projects including many music videos coming my way in this year. But what excites me is something different. While I have already done a romantic and heart-breaking soulful number, this one is peppy and hence in a completely different zone and genre all together. I am being selective about the projects I do because I don't want to repeat myself or be doing the same thing over and over again. There has to be something new, a challenge, something one hasn't tried before."

Krushna Abhishek REVEALS he will stand by Bharti Singh; says, 'She has stood beside me through thick and thin'

Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the drugs case. They were sent to judicial custody till December 4 by a magistrate court on Sunday after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) seized 86.5 gms of ganja (Cannabis) at their production office and residence. The NCB in a press release had revealed that Bharti and Haarsh accepted the consumption of ganja. The couple was later granted bail. After the bail, it was reported that the channel airing The Kapil Sharma Show has decided to drop comedian Bharti Singh from the show. Kiku Sharda had reacted to this and cleared that this news was not true. Now, Krushna Abhishek has reacted to this news. In an interview with ETimes, he said, "Bilkul aisa nahi hai (Not at all). I haven't heard of any such discussion or development from the channel's end."

"No such decision has been taken by the channel. Even if something like this happens, I will support Bharti. She should get back to work. Jo ho gaya woh ho gaya (Whatever has happened, has happened). We stand by Bharti and both Kapil (Sharma) and I are with her. She has my unconditional support, "he added. He also revealed why Bharti was not a part of the episode shot on November 27. He revealed, "I think Bharti was unwell. She herself didn't want to shoot or else she would have come. We are like family." Krushna also said that he considers Bharti as his sister. He said, "I met them soon after their release. We go back a long way. Our equation goes beyond our profession. I have seen Haarsh from his days of struggle. Bees saal ka aaya hua tha to write for 'Comedy Circus' (He joined 'Comedy Circus' as a writer at the age of 20). Mere saamne date karna shuru kiya tha dono ne (I have witnessed their friendship blossom into love) and I even hosted their wedding. Arti (Singh) ko chhod kar agar meri koi baahar sister hai jisko main proudly behen bolta hoon, toh woh Bharti hai (Bharti is the only one I proudly call my sister apart from my real sibling, Arti)."

"Bharti has stood beside me through thick and thin. She was the first person to meet me when my father was unwell and also when he passed away. She was the first person to call me when I had my twin boys. I fell sick while hosting an award function with Maniesh Paul, but Bharti filled in for me without batting an eyelid. Kaun karta hai kisi ke liye aisa. That's the bond we share. So, I had to meet her at any cost after she was released. I don't know about the world and others, but I am standing by Bharti, "Krushna added. Krushna Abhishek also reacted to Raju Srivastava's comment on Bharti's arrest. He said, "Raju Srivastava ne toh bohot hi bakwaas kee hai. What he said was shocking. Usne lifetime ke liye relationship kharaab kar liya hai sabke saath. Poori team hamaari naraaz hai usse for the comment he made (Team 'TKSS' is very upset with him)."

Bigg Boss 14: Kavita Kaushik brought a twist in the game by saving Eijaz Khan instead of Abhinav Shukla, say fans – view poll results

Bigg Boss 14 is getting exciting day by day. Kavita Kaushik had entered as a wild card contestant and she is currently one of the most talked about contestants. Her fights with Eijaz Khan are just unforgettable. They both went on to abuse each other to no extend. The hatred between them is so much that one can never even imagine that they will become friends in the future. Kavita had been fighting with him over and over again in the past and even discussed her personal relations with him inside the house in the game. Eijaz was a little taken aback by all the outburst of Kavita. Recently, Kavita Kaushik did the unexpected. It was the nomination special episode and the contestants were required to nominate one housemate. For the same, they were given one parrot each with contestants' names predecided by Bigg Boss. Aly Goni had Rubina Dilaik's parrot, Abhinav Shukla had Rahul Vaidya's parrot, Pavitra Punia had Jasmin Bhasin's parrot, Rubina has Pavitra's parrot, Eijaz Khan had Abhinav's parrot, Rahul has Eijaz's parrot, Jasmin has Nikki Tamboli's parrot while Nikki has Aly's parrot.

So, the contestants were in a fix. While some played to safeguard themselves others played for rules or for saving their friend inside the house. In the task we saw, Pavita Punia nominating Jasmin Bhasin, Rahul went on to nominate Eijaz which infuriated him. After that, there had been one place left for the task to come to an end. Since Jasmin, Aly and Nikki had strategised it already that they won't be participating since they want to save themselves, Kavita had no choice to urge everyone including Eijaz to participate in the task. Since neither Aly-Jasmin and Nikki were backing out, Kavita struck a deal with Eijaz saying that she would save him if he performed the task. Abhinav went next and nominated Rahul while Rubina nominated Pavitra. Aly nominated Rubina while Eijaz since he struck a deal with Kavita, nominated Abhinav. The contestants were in a dilemma whether or not Bigg Boss will give powers to Kavita to save Eijaz. Bigg Boss did give Kavita a chance and and she did save Eijaz instead of Abhinav. Post that we saw Abhinav and Rubina getting angry with Kavita and questioned her friendship with Abhinav. This decision of Kavita shocked everyone. Hence, we had asked fans if they feel that Kavita brought a twist in the game by saving Eijaz instead of Abhinav. 67% of people feel she did brought a twist while 20% feel she did not. Take a look:

Best Dressed: Hina Khan, Shweta Tiwari, Gauahar Khan — 5 beauties who made us gush with their style statements

Boy, are we glad that we had some event in the entertainment industry. The COVID-19 pandemic and the imposed lockdown almost made us forget what star-studded events looked like. So, there were about two events Dadasaheb Phalke awards and Gold Awards. Both the events were held with ample precautions as the sponsors are aware of the ongoing pandemic. While we are no one to judge but when ladies dress up well, we cannot take our eyes off them, can we? And it would have been a break and a much-needed therapy for the celebs who had been missing dressing up for events like these. So, let's check out who has made it to our best dressed celebs of the week below:

Hina Khan

This is the only outfit not from the awards night. Yes, Hina wore a stunning black and white crepe gown for awards but this one, ups the other by a fraction. The black-and-white abstract dress with oversized-balloon sleeves and thigh-high boots in the same pattern is surely a show-stealer. Hina Khan wore a Swapnil Shinde couture from the Summer Resort 2020 collection for a photoshoot. And we gotta admit, it's just gorgeous.

Shweta Tiwari

We have to admit, when ethnic wear is fused with western style, they bring out the best results. Shweta Tiwari wore a beige cream drape fusion saree from Labeld by Dimple Shroff. The outfit came with a dhoti styled drape and bandeau styled crop-top blouse with gold work. Talk about fusion wear at its best.

Gauahar Khan

Gauahar Khan owns a fashion label herself so what did you expect? Here at the Gold Awards, Gauahar wore a black dress with a huge black-n-white printed bow on the waistline. She added pop with tangerine lip-shade. She paired the gorgeous outfit with black stilettos.

Adaa Khan

Adaa Khan wore a stunning red organza silk saree and blouse with embellishments and floral motifs. The outfit is from Amrit Dawani couture. She really stole red hearts with her stunning apparel.

Pooja Banerjee

Pooja Banerjee wore a three-toned short dress. The embellished outfit gave out the cool chick vibes who is born to rule the world and she indeed did by bagging the trophy.

Which is your favourite outfit from the aforementioned ones? Let us know by tweeting @bollywood_life.

Bigg Boss 14: Vikas Gupta, Arshi Khan, Kashmera Shah ⁠— which challenger seems the most exciting one? Vote Now

Bigg Boss 14 has been a drab season so far. Now, the makers have brought in new challengers. They are some popular ex-contestants from the show. While people are okay with the entry of Vikas Gupta, Arshi Khan, Manu Punjabi and Kashmera Shah, what has come as a shock is the presence of Rakhi Sawant and Rahul Mahajan. People who have watched Bigg Boss over the years will have a recollection of the seasons where Rakhi Sawant and Rahul Mahajan were there. Rakhi Sawant did a lot of tamasha inside the house. On the other hand, Rahul Mahajan made news for his love angle with Payal Rohatgi. It will be interesting to see Arshi Khan and Manu Punjabi. Both these guys always play from the front foot. Arshi Khan is one of the most unique personalities to ever grace the show.

Of course, Vikas Gupta seems to be leading the team of challengers. He was one of the finalists of Bigg Boss 11. People know him as the mastermind. Last year, he was on the show as Devoleena Bhattacharjee's replacement. After some days, he made a re-entry as Sidharth Shukla's connection. Bigg Boss 13 has been the most historic season ever. Each and every contestant has left indelible mark in the hearts of the audiences.

This time, no one has created the craze like Shehnaaz Gill, Sidharth Shukla or Asim Riaz managed to do. The top three did wonders for themselves. The challengers have promised to bring in the extra drama, spice and competitiveness on the show. This time, nothing seems to be connecting. From the friendships to the rivalry, everything looks fake. We have to see how the new group manages to get this lot to pull up their socks. So, tell us which challenger are you most excited to see inside. Vote and let us know...

He made it official at the time of the release of India's Most Wanted. He told Filmfare, "We've come out because we feel the media has given us dignity. There's a certain understanding the media has... they've been respectful, kind, honest and decent about it. That is why I felt comfortable. You recoil when there's a certain 'gandhagi' that comes with the territory. When purposely people irk you by saying, writing or asking things... there hasn't been any of that." Well, such pics of the two surely make our day!

Lokesh Kanagaraj (@Dir_Lokesh) November 28, 2020

Earlier in an interview, Vijay had heaped praises on his director. He had called him a master-planner. "With Maanagaram, Lokesh made us notice his talent. His next film Kaithi made us watch it again and again. Lokesh has a special talent. Being a banker, he has managed to do a film like Maanagaram, which has a complex script. He won't even have a scene break-up paper in his hand on the set of Master and I was confused seeing this. I wondered how to work with him for the next few months. Later, I realised, Lokesh is not just a planner, but a master-planner," the actor had said.

Valentina Riva (@LVale77) November 28, 2020

Now, the shaving of beard only hints, as rightly guessed by his fans could be for a movie. Which brings us to his work front. The actor gave two hits last year with a biographical drama and an action-thriller. We are talking about Super 30 and War. The latter is the highest-grossing film of 2019. Talking about his professional line up. It is being said that, the actor is working on Krrish 4 with his father, Rakesh Roshan. A couple of media reports had said that Hrithik would be seen in four roles in the fourth installment of the superhero franchise. Squashing the media reports, the actor told Bollywood Hungama, "Journalists have a lot of time these days to think up screenplay ideas at home. This is just a rumour, like many rumours about Krrish 4. There is absolutely no truth to it. The script is in the process of evolving. It is still very early. When we do lock in on certain specifics in the plot, I'll share them with you."

Hrithik, if reports are to be believed, also has War 2 in the pipeline. As per a report in a tabloid, the makers of Pathan are planning to make a universe of agents with Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh, and Deepika Padukone. Would we see SRK and Salman joining Hrithik in War 2? Let's wait and watch

The Karan Johar produced series streams on one of the leading OTT platforms and revolves around the lives of Neelam Kothari, Maheep Kapoor, Bhavna Pandey and Seema Khan, wives of Bollywood actors Samir Soni, Sanjay Kapoor, Chunky Pandey and Sohail Khan respectively. Now, Karan Johar has been targeted mercilessly by the audience for promoting nepotism in the Hindi Film Industry. It all piped up after Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic demise in the month of June this year. And now as the series has been released, the nepotism debate is raging yet again.

Sanjay Kapoor, who made a cameo appearance in the series and the one who belongs to the affluent filmy families reacted to the same. The actor said that had nepotism really worked in their favour then he would have been the busiest actor. So, in one of the episodes of the Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, Sanjay expresses his delight on bagging a Karan Johar movie. "I'm finally doing something with Karan. It took me 25 years for finally this nepotism to work. I've been hearing nepotism for three years. Nepotism, nepotism, nepotism - I've known Karan for 30 years. So finally, it's work which has got me work, not nepotism."

"People need to understand that. Otherwise, I would've been the busiest actor in the world. The amount of people I know, I would have been doing the best work in the best of films, everything. To dilute anybody's career by saying it happened because of nepotism I don't think it's fair," he adds while talking to his wife on the show. Later on, we see Maheep narrating her ordeal from her struggling days. She recalls having to survive on bread and jam and wait for Sanjay to bring food or pay for it while she was struggling as a model. Sanjay took a jibe at her and compared her struggle with Ananya Panday saying, "You struggle with jam and toast, you are sounding like Ananya. Your struggle is as good."

Deepika Padukone shares stills with Ranbir Kapoor as Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha completes 5 years of release

Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha starring Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor turned 5 on Friday, that is, 27th November 2020. The basic plot or the idea of the director was to narrate a story about two characters one who lives life on her terms and one who is forced to do something that he doesn't have his heart in. The film intended to spread the message of following one's heart and dreams rather than diving your life into a meaningless job, thus losing oneself. Ranbir played Ved and Deepika played Tara in the film. Tamasha was overall loved by the audience but was heavily criticised for unable to bring the plot together satisfactorily.

The film still has an immense recall value as it brought together, Ranbir and Deepika for the second time after their breakup. People still shipped them together and it was their undeniable chemistry that brought masses to the theatres. On the occasion of completion of five years of Tamasha, Deepika aka Tara as changed her profile picture on all of her social media handles and had also changed her name. She had also shared various fan arts of Tamasha. A couple of hours ago, Deepika shared a few stills from the film, straight from the archives that are a treat for her fans.

In the first picture, we see Ved and Tara in action (Deepika and Ranbir performing a scene), a BTS. In the second picture, we see Tara aka Deepika getting ready for a shot with a photobomb in the face of a clapper board. The third picture sees a joker and a robot, a scene from Ved's play. Ranbir is seen as a robot here. She put, "#5YearsOfTamasha #5YearsofTara @imtiazaliofficial #RanbirKapoor," in the caption. Check out Deepika's post below:

Talking about Tamasha, while the critics lauded the lead actor's chemistry and performances, they targeted the director for poorly constructing the screenplay and aligning the subplots into a smooth narrative.

Coolie No. 1 Trailer: These memes featuring Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan will fill your Sunday with laughter

Coolie No.1's trailer was finally released yesterday. The makers had intended for a theatrical release back in May this year, but the Coronavirus spoiled everybody's plans. A lockdown was enforced to stop the spread of the virus. And now after much discussion and introspection, they have decided to release their film on the OTT platform. Most of the makers are taking the OTT route to release their films and the Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan starrer will see the light of the day on one such OTT platform. So, talking about the trailer, it a masala packed in about 3 minutes. It's a typical Bollywood masala movie, however, it certainly comes across as trying too hard to recreate what the original created. Well, everybody had a certain reaction to the trailer and so did the memers.

Most of the memes feature Varun. Let's take you back a bit and talk about the trailer. So, we see Varun as a street-smart guy who falls in love with Sara at first sight. He pretends to be super rich because the girl's father wants to marry her off to a rich family. The lead resorts to lying making everyone including the girl believe that he is in fact filthy rich. However, soon his bluff comes off, but he manages another lie saying that he has a twin and ends up romancing his sweetheart's sister. In the end, finally, his bluff is called off when a police inspector reveals that he is in fact a coolie. Throughout the trailer, we see Varun mimicking Mithun Chakraborty a lot and we also see him cross-dressed as a nurse.

Anyway, all of this has sparked off quite a few memes and let's have a look at them and laugh and bring cheer to your lazy Sunday.
