Saba-ImranPakistani actors, Saba Qamar, who was seen in the Irrfan Khan-starrer Hindi Medium, and Imran Abbas, who featured in Creature 3D (2014) and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), have found themselves to be at the receiving end of trolls. The two have been praising the Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma-starrer Jab Harry Met Sejal.

This has not gone down well with the detractors across the border. They felt Jab Harry Met Sejal was a copy of the Pakistani film, Bachana, and that the two were resorting to such measures to get Bollywood offers.

dilipLegendary actor Dilip Kumar’s recovery from kidney-related problems is a miracle, says his wife and former actress Saira Banu, for whom it was a “nightmare” to deal with the sudden deterioration of his health.

Dilip Kumar, 94, was admitted to the Lilavati Hospital on August 2.

Saira, who has been married to the actor since over five decades and is 22 years younger to him, accompanied Dilip Kumar when he was wheeled out of the hospital here.

She told the media: “He is in good health now. All of it felt like a nightmare… How he suddenly fell sick. I am thankful to the Almighty… This has been a miracle.”

Saira thanked the management, doctors and staff members of the Bandra West facility for taking care of Dilip Kumar, and even expressed gratitude for fans who prayed for his well-being.

“The prayers were accepted by Allah and he is feeling well now… I can’t tell you how grateful I am to God that we have come out of this.

“It was a terrible thing that happened. Within a few days, he fell so sick that we just didn’t know what to do.”

She hoped that “after going home he will feel even better soon”.

Ajay Kumar Pande, Vice President, Lilavati Hospital, on Wednesday had said that Dilip Kumar was “critical” when he was admitted to the hospital over complaints of dehydration and urinary tract infection.

High potassium and creatinine levels had raised concerns that the actor may have to be put on dialysis. But doctors had decided against it after he started responding well to treatment.

Pande called Saira a “sati Savitri” for her dedication to her husband.

Saira laughed and said: “If a woman’s husband is India’s ‘Kohinoor’, why won’t his wife be ‘sati Savitri’. All wives love their husbands and it’s no big deal. Whatever I am doing I won’t say that I am taking care of him… It is my love for him and I am ready to do it 100 times more for him.”

Last seen on the big screen in “Qila” in 1998, the actor was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2015. He is known for films like “Devdas”, “Mughal-e-Azam” and “Karma”.

Rumours suggest that Salman Khan has put Remo D’Souza’s next on hold, as he isn’t convinced about playing a dancing dad and feels the role is more suitable for the likes of Varun Dhawan.

But Jacqueline Fernandez, who plays the female lead opposite Khan in the dance drama, says the speculation is untrue. Fernandez says the movie hasn’t been shelved, but pushed, as the makers are working out logistics for the film.

A man peeing on the poster of a movie that aims to raise awareness about how harmful open defecation can be – just let the irony sink in. 

Akshay Kumar is gearing up for the release of his upcoming movie ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ this Friday, and has been relentlessly promoting it for months. Everyone is actually very curious about the movie because of the unique topic, and how the filmmakers are trying to raise awareness about a very pressing social issue through the big screen.

Akshay himself has been promoting the idea of cleanliness throughout India, and he’s not all talk. He collaborated with Kaya constructs to build toilets across various parts of the country and even released a toilet anthem called ‘Toilet Ka jhugaad’.

But a latest viral picture seems to argue that all of Akshay’s efforts are in vain. It’s like a reality check that people in our country will never change, or rather don’t want to.

With so much irony in just one picture, it obviously caught the attention of people on Twitter, and as everyone knows, they won’t let go of a chance to make jokes. 

Here, have a look:
