Jacqueline Fernandez doesn’t like to talk about her private life. But when she is asked about her relationship status, the actor insists that she is only committed to her work.

Discussing the traits she like to see in a partner, she says, “I’m not driven by looks. I’d like my man to be susheel [cultured] and someone who takes risks. He should be a balanced person, someone who is worldly-wise, aware of his tradition and culture, confident, adventurous and full of life.”

The actor, who awaits the release of ‘A Gentleman’ this week, says work is keeping her busy. “But things can change with the snap of a finger. I might meet someone who I would want to be with for the rest of my life. I don’t plan anything. Everything just happens spontaneously and that’s how my life has shaped up,” says the actor, adding that she isn’t averse to commitment.

“Commitment is not an issue, but I don’t want to be in a relationship just for the heck of it. I’ve always been a risk-taker. I entered Bollywood without knowing anyone. I wasn’t even familiar with the language. But that didn’t scare me. I need someone who is likeminded and understands me and my work,” says Fernandez.

Jon Snow’s suicide mission in the 6th episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ season 7 wasn’t all a waste, thanks to this one little secret Jon Snow stumbled upon. It costs them dearly – the death of a beloved dragon. But all is not lost and there is a huge learning from the tragic mission – one that will eventually defeat the White Walkers. 

The White Walkers Can Be Defeated And Jon Snow Now Knows How

When Jon’s team comes across a group of Wights and White Walkers, Jon kills one White Walker and the others automatically disintegrate and fall dead. It is then that they realise that killing a White Walker will kill the Wights he created.

This piece of information holds the key to defeating the White Walkers. Armies from the seven kingdoms, armed with dragonglass weapons, can easily wipe out major portions of the White Walkers army by targeting the White Walkers who head groups of Wights.

Jon Snow might not have processed this information well enough yet, since getting out alive was his main concern then. But once they sit down to form a strategy, this secret will prove to be game-changing. Getting near the Night King will be difficult, since he now has an ice dragon (yeah, twist a dragonglass in our heart). So the next alternative is to systematically clean out the army of the dead.

After Sam’s genius discovery, we did think defeating the army of the dead was not THAT difficult. Dany’s dragon could have lived to fight another battle. 

Now that we have something to take away from the tragic battle beyond the wall, we feel a little less bad about Viserion, Daenerys’ beloved dragon who was killed by the Night King.

Model-turned-nun Sofia Hayat has shown support to controversial actress Rakhi Sawant, who is facing charges of making objectionable remarks against sage Valmiki.

Sofia, a former ‘Bigg Boss’ contestant, said in a statement: “I support her. The story that she said is historically correct, but if it’s repeated, then certain sects get upset. I think this is wrong.

“The story of Valmiki is inspiring because it teaches us that the core being of all is good and pure. That is when we get enlightenment.”

Rakhi had submitted an ‘unconditional apology’ to the Valmiki community for her remarks made on a TV show last year.

Television actress Naman Shaw is finally tying with his long time friend, Nehaa Mishra. The couple had a low key engagement back in June. In a report according to Indian Express Nehaa works in a film production company and the two have known each other for more than eight years. Talking to indianexpress.com, Naman said, “If I would have got engaged to another girl, I would have been having sleepless nights now. Nehaa is my bestie and the perfect life-partner that I could have hoped for. She has stood with me through my thick and thin and I feel blessed to have got Nehaa in my life.”

Talking about the wedding preparations, the actor said, “Since I have a huge joint family in Kolkata, the marriage will happen there. I was recently there to arrange for the hotel bookings for my friends, who will be traveling with us. Although my family is there, I am enjoying taking care of these responsibilities. It’s my wedding and I want to be involved in everything. It’s a happy and fun time for me and I am enjoying preparing for it along with my family. Though we haven’t chalked out a honeymoon plan, we might take a short trip to Europe.”

When asked if he ever wanted to get married to an actor, Naman said, “To be honest, I was really scared of commitment and was enjoying my bachelorhood. When I decided to settle down, I knew it was her. With Nehaa, things are different, she is my best friend. She knows me inside out and I am sure the marriage won’t change anything between us. Even when I was seeing other girls, Nehaa knew about it. I don’t think I could have married anyone apart from her. Nehaa is a very positive person and supports me unconditionally.”

Reminiscing his meeting with Nehaa, the actor said, “We met during a shoot and instantly clicked. She was doing the show just for fun, and here we are all set to marry. It was all fate and I am thankful to God for giving me Nehaa. Our families are also very happy about the match.”

OMG! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had agreed to work with Salman Khan on this one conditionSalman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had reportedly agreed to work with her ex-boyfriend and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’ which now stars Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali apparently wrote ‘Padmavati’ script keeping Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in mind. But just like ‘Bajirao Mastani’, he couldn’t make it work as the two had an ugly break-up.

Now, according to Rajeev Masand’s column in Open Magazine, SLB had approached Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Salman Khan for ‘Padmavati’ after they parted ways. According to the report, Aishwarya had almost agreed to work with Salman, but on one condition.

The twist was she was ready to work with Salman Khan only if he played the role of Alauddin Khilji, the antagonist in the film. This way, they wouldn’t share any scenes together.

The report stated that Salman Khan refused to agree to this condition. Salman Khan was interested to recreate the magic of ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. But he wasn’t keen on doing ‘Padmavati‘ without having any scene with Ash.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has now cast Deepika Padukone as Padmavati, her rumoured boyfriend Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji and Shahid Kapoor as Deepika’s husband Raja Rawal Ratan Singh.

‘Padmavati’ is slated to release on November 11 this year.

Jon snow’s suicide mission was bound to fail from the beginning. It’s just his luck that whenever he is on the verge of dying, someone comes to his rescue. Jon Snow is the Matt Damon of ‘Game of Thrones’. Towards the end of the 6th episode of season 7, when Snow is left alone with the White Walkers and almost dead, Benjen Stark magically appears out of nowhere. 

This Is How Benjen Stark Magically Appeared To Rescue Jon Snow From The White Walkers

The hooded rider on a dark horse flashing a flaming chain, Uncle Benjen cut a fierce picture, as we heaved a sigh of relief, and so did Jon Snow. Of course, he stayed behind to stall the White Walkers and let Jon get away.

We were left wondering how he appeared at the right time and the right place to save his Stark nephew. If you remember, he had earlier rescued Bran and Meera from the White Walkers and revealed it was because “the Three-Eyed Raven requested it.”

Bran, who is now the Three-Eyed Raven, can not only warg into creatures, he can also communicate and warn someone. This time he sent Uncle Benjen to rescue Jon.

Benjen Stark has been destined to stay beyond the Wall because he was attacked by a White Walker who pierced him with an ice sword. He tells Bran and Meera that the Children of the Forest saved him by shoving dragonglass in his chest. Though he did not become a Wight, he can’t cross the Wall that is protected by magic spells to prevent the dead from passing through it.

Although Benjen disappears among the White Walkers with his flaming chain, we believe he will be not be dead so easily. Considering he is already half-dead and seems to have a connection with the Three-Eyed raven, we think there’s more to him than meets the eye.

We all heard about Jon Snow’s sword Longclaw having a life of its own, after we saw how it opened its eyes when Snow emerged from the icy water. Fans theorise it was Bran who had warged into the sword. Some also say it is possible that the sword has a trapped soul, and the only soul that can possib;y still be alive is Azhor Azhai’s. This could be a powerful hint about Jon Snow being Azhor Azhai.
