Well, whatever Katrina Kaif does becomes news. It’s fact! From her personal style to her latest film, she is all over social media making headlines. However, this time it’s a strange situation from her past that is taking the Internet by storm.

It’s a throwback photo that is creating all the wrong kinds of buzz on social media. The ‘EK Tha Tiger’ actress is seen seated with infamous Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Before Katrina made it big the Bollywood, she tried her hand in modelling. The picture that is going around the internet was taken 15 years ago when Katrina visited Libya for a private fashion show. The snap also features other Indian models and actresses like Neha Dhupia and Aditi Gowitrikar.

Model Shamita Singha was the one who shared this photo and wrote, “Almost 15 years ago when we all were in Libya for a fashion show and had the privilege of meeting the man Mr. Gaddafi himself! Girls! Remember this trip??”

???? ???:?????? ??? ??????? ??? 15 ???? ? ?? ?????. ???? #???????_??? ???? ???? ??????? ????? ?? #????_?????? ? #?????_?????????? ???????? ?????? ?????? #????_???????. 🙂 Flash back:Check out this picture, clicked 15 years back, in Libya. #KatrinaKaif was attending a fashion show there, and she is seen here posing with #NehaDhupia, #AditiGovitrikar and Libyan revolutionary politician #MuammarGaddafi.

A post shared by Bollywood News (@bollywoodmore) on Jul 9, 2017 at 4:38pm PDT

When this picture was taken, Gaddafi was literally feared as a dictator. He was also known to be surrounded by his female bodyguards. Yeah, the man had a crew of females who were called the Amazonians. 

We got to say even then Katrina and Neha looked great. However, now the photo has been removed by Shamita and we wonder why? 

On the work front, Katrina is busy promoting her upcoming film ‘Jagga Jasoos’ and has also started shooting for her next flick ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ with Salman Khan.

Amitabh BachchanAmitabh Bachchan

He will turn 75 this year, but there’s no sign of slowing down as far as work is concerned for megastar Amitabh Bachchan. He says his work diary could even spill into 2019, and he wonders if it’s “too ambitious”. Big B seemed to have been in a contemplative mood when he wrote his blog on Sunday night.

He wrote: “Idleness invites complacency… Begs it to be of immense disinterest and lethargic in nature… Binds you in an embrace that you find difficult to get out of. It is the fortune of goodness that I begin work in earnest again by tomorrow… ‘102 Not Out’ starts again and hopefully shall be the end of the film, by the end of the month or a few days into August.

“And then begins the ABC of ‘KBC’… And then some more projects… And the greater time for ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’… And on and on till most of the end of 2018 and perhaps spilling over into 2019… And then some more for consideration… And you wonder… Is it not too ambitious to be thinking so far and beyond.” Big B will turn a year older in October. His experimentation with films continues and his joy to host ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ seems palpable.

In “102 Not Out”, the actor plays onscreen father to Rishi Kapoor, while in “Thugs Of Hindostan”, he features with Aamir Khan for the first time.

GLOW – ‘Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling’ is a self-aware TV series on Netflix and we can already see you rolling your lies. A woman’s pro-wrestling show set in the 80s…..sure. Silly camp etc, whatever you can call it; they have already called themselves in the show. The new dram-edy has all the sex, violence intrigue of a pulp novel with larger-than-life costumes. Here are 5 reasons you, should be watching the show already.

1. It has hot women in spandex fighting in a ring for the approval of one guy who is a drunk nobody director. So that they can be cast in his new show. GLOW finds other ways to correct this balance of power but this bit, is every guy’s fantasy – like they say in the show, ‘your very own personal casting couch’.

2. You have seen WWE, you know how it functions. The all-American hero, the Russian bad guy, the Arab terrorist, the white supremacist, the black under dog, the Japanese ninja – some other clichés thrown in for good measure. 

In satirising the non-complex storytelling of the wrestling world through stereotypes – it is aware, critical and poking fun at everyone who is taking this seriously. The wrestling fans know that rivalries are developed like plot lines, characters created, gimmicks concocted. This is a look at the backstage and how they come up with all this.

3. There is just the right amount of Oedipal issues thrown in to make it slightly perverse; and the Freudian what-the-hell quip “There’s one ball you can’t castrate; a man’s true ball is the mind.”

Reasons Why You Need To Watch ‘Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling'© Tilted Productions

4. It’s a peep into the ‘girl world’ which is not very different from the ‘boy world’. When the guys are not around, women too take on roles of power and become the alpha, beta, punk ass rebel, or just plain weird. And all your weirdness can identify with all of theirs.

5. For the number of times you have heard ‘it’s fake, it’s not real. They’re not actually fighting, they’re acting’ – I KNOW.  Just like daily soaps and most reality TV and any fiction really, is not real. But as an audience you invest in the back story, the rivalry, the story telling. Jon Snow can come back from the dead, Mihir Virani can come back from the dead but wrestling should be true as documentary style? What sells it is good storytelling and ‘GLOW’, is good storytelling.

All the GOT fans out there, we know, you have watched the trailer many times, read enough theories and rumors, discussed what’s going to happen in the 7th season and probably have watched reruns to refresh your memory. We know you’re guilty of doing all that as much as I am. The anticipation is probably killing you by now but wait, wait till you read the titles and synopsis of the first three episodes revealed by HBO. 

The Titles Of The First 3 Episodes Of ‘Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Are Out

Here it is: 

1. Dragonstone – Jon organizes the defense of the North. Cersei tries to even the odds. Daenerys, our beloved Khaleesi returns home. 

2. Stormborn – Dany (Khaleesi) receives an unexpected visitor. Jon faces a revolt. Tyrion plans the conquest of westeros. 

3. The Queen’s Justice – Dan holds court. Cersei returns a gift. Jaime learns from his mistakes (does that mean their incestuous relationship will come to an end?). 

The Titles Of The First 3 Episodes Of ‘Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Are Out

Kit Harington (Jon Snow) has reportedly told his fans to prepare themselves as this season’s pace is a lot faster than the previous ones. “This season is really different than any other season because it’s accelerating towards the end, a lot of stuff collides and happen much much quicker than you’re used to seeing on thrones”, says Jon. “It’s so different than what everybody is used to. It’s quite exciting”, he finishes off by assuring that it’s going to be one thrilling season. 

Not just him but Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jamie Lannister) with whom we have a love-hate relationship, also agreed with Kit: “I feel like I’d been lulled into a different pace. Everything happens quicker than I’m used to. A lot of things that normally take a season now take one episode. 

Show-runner Dan Weiss, the producer-writer has given a much logical explanation of why the show has picked up speed: “Things are moving faster because in the world of these characters the war they’ve been waiting for is upon them. The conflicts that have been building the past six years are upon them & those facts give them a sense of urgency that makes ‘the characters’ move faster.” 

The Titles Of The First 3 Episodes Of ‘Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Are Out

This might be also because as claimed by the directors themselves, they’re running out of good content to showcase in the following seasons, hence 8th is the last that will hit our TV screens and that too, only with 6 episodes. However sad that makes us, it’s also good news because the show is not going to be one of those series like “How I Met Your Mother” that are stretched for no reason at all! 

Leaving that aside, we have numerous questions that can’t wait to be answered and that’s only going to happen on 16th of July, the premiere date.
