Ranveer Singh and Aditya Roy KapurRanveer Singh and Aditya Roy Kapur

Bollywood hottie Ranveer Singh made a shocking revelation on the Neha Dhupia show. He revealed that one of his ex-girlfriends and the girl he was madly in love with, left him for Aditya Roy Kapur. While people would find this hard to believe knowing the scales Ranveer has climbed in Bollywood, Ranveer really did have his heartbroken due to Aditya Roy Kapur. 

In an interview with Neha Dhupia, the ‘Bajirao Mastani’ actor revealed an incident from his college days. Here is the entire conversation:

“Ranveer : So here’s the thing about Aditya, he’s always been a hotty. Even when we were 16-17. I was like this, like a preppy tight tshirt boy from HR college. And he was like this Afro keeping hippy boy, you know, he was a fast bowler and he was all athletic an all..
Neha: Was it
Ranveer: Ya ya, Aditya Roy was
Neha: The guitar boy
Ranveer: Ya he was like every girl’s fantasy in junior college and the girl that I was crazy about that time who is now married with a kid, so she, I was really like, this is like, I was mad about her. It was a good 4-5 years that I was crazy over her. And then she finally broke up with me. It was in order to move onto a certain Aditya Roy Kapoor.”

Well, Ranveer Singh must have definitely learned a lesson and would be keeping Deepika Padukone miles away from Aditya Roy Kapur.

Things didn’t really end well in the 3rd episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ and Cersei has drawn first blood in the war. Daenerys and Jon’s meeting was comical, to say the least, and we do hope they find a mutual path soon. The 4th episode is just round the corner and HBO has released brand new images of the episode and looks like the winds are changing direction. Let’s have a look at the pictures and go crazy with the theories already! 

Tough Reunion For Theon

Theon arrives at Dragonstone on the Greyjoy ship that rescued him and it looks like a few heavy steps towards a reunion with Jon Snow. 

The New Pictures Of Episode 4 Of ‘Game Of Thrones' S7 Are Out© HBO

Theon has quite a lot of bad blood with the Stark clan – he cruelly took over Winterfell to please his indifferent father, murdered the maester who taught the Stark children, carried a fake murder of Bran and Rickon Stark by burning two farm boys. Sansa might have forgiven him after he risked his life to save her, but Jon might not.

Going by their grim faces, there’s more bad news perhaps. If it’s Theon on the other end, he will have to face a lot of wrath. Tortured by Ramsay Bolton, Theon is still haunted by the memories and suffers from PTSD but abandoning your ship when your sister has a sword to her throat will not warrant a hero’s welcome for him, of course. 

Do we see a love story blossoming there?

Good to know Jon is lingering around long enough for Daenerys to develop a liking to him. King of North too seems to be taken by Dany too. Though we cringed at Khaleesi’s cocky tirade when they first meet, we would very much like to see them together, thank you. Incest, you say. *cough* Lannisters *cough*

Missandei’s sly smile and Dany’s mock anger could very involve some good-humoured teasing here, we reckon. Turns out Jon Snow does know something.

Sansa Set For A Third Wedding?! 

The New Pictures Of Episode 4 Of ‘Game Of Thrones' S7 Are Out© HBO

As current Warden of the North, Sansa has a lot of hard decisions to make as Jon extends his stay in Dragonstone to mine Dragonglass. With winter knocking at Winterfell’s doors, Sansa has already leapt in action. If Jon doesn’t return on time, she has to take charge of defending their kingdom. Seen here in Godswood, the area of worship and meditation, Sansa looks like she is about to make a big decision and needs strength from the gods – do we hear wedding bells? Maybe. Marrying Littlefinger would give her control over the Vale; of course, he could be killed later. 

The New Pictures Of Episode 4 Of ‘Game Of Thrones' S7 Are Out© HBO

As loyal GoT fans, we don’t trust this character one bit. Seen here in all his sly glory, Littlefinger looks like he has another scheme up his sleeve. 

The New Pictures Of Episode 4 Of ‘Game Of Thrones' S7 Are Out© HBO

We haven’t seen Podrick and Brienne in a while now and it’ll be good to see Podrick as a skilled fighter trained by Brienne. We know Sansa is in good hands as long as Brienne of Tarth is serving her. 

The New Pictures Of Episode 4 Of ‘Game Of Thrones' S7 Are Out© HBO

We are not liking the confidence on Cersei. 

The New Pictures Of Episode 4 Of ‘Game Of Thrones' S7 Are Out© HBO

The fear on Jamie and Bronn’s faces makes up for it. The war might come sooner than we expected. While returning from Highgarden, the Lannister army led by Jamie could be faced with Daenerys’ Dothraki army. And even King Robert Baratheon knew “Only a fool would meet the Dothraki in an open field.” 

We can only form theories and imagine every possible plot and scheme in our minds till nothing surprises us anymore, as Littlefinger advises Sansa. Tell us what you think of these pictures from Episode 4; let us hear some crazy theories! Game of Thrones Season 7 airs in India on Star World and Star World HD every Tuesday at 11 in the night.

There are many of us who can’t wait to see kids of our favourite Bollywood stars on the silver screen. If you truly look around and scan the B-town, you already know that the next generation stars are already here…all ready to rule the tinsel town. These young star kids have already made their fan base before they have even made their debut.

Pick any social media platform and you will see them everywhere. There is no stopping them. They are beautiful, talented and people already love them. In fact, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that they are better prepared than their superstar parents to make it big in the industry.

From our favourite Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan, Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara to Sridevi’s two beauties Jhanvi and Khushi, we bring you the list of celeb kids, who are gearing up to rule the throne.

Aryan and Suhana

The Birth Giver

A post shared by Aryan Khan (@___aryan___) on Jun 18, 2017 at 7:16am PDT

Bollywood’s favourite Shah Rukh Khan’s son and daughter are all grown up and people just can’t stop obsessing over these two. But could anyone expect anything less from them?

She is a natural Beauty @suhanakhan2 💕

A post shared by Suhana Khan FC (@suhana.khan) on Aug 2, 2017 at 1:57pm PDT

Even though SRK tries his level best to keep his family away from the limelight, Aryan and Suhana have already got an immense fan following. And we already know it for a fact that once they complete their education, it will be none other than Karan Johar who will introduce these two gems to the industry.

Aarav

Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna’s son Aarav is often in news for some or the other thing. He is good looking and religiously practices martial arts, just like his father. He is multi-talented, loves to paint and adventure is his thing. It’s been ages since we had an actor who could do so much at once. Come on Aarav, we just can’t wait to see you on that 70mm screen.

Junaid

Love wearing my traditional clothing. No matter where in the world i am. #pakistanzindabad #culture

A post shared by M junaid khan (@junaidkhan_real) on Jul 19, 2017 at 7:17am PDT

Aamir Khan and his ex-wife Reena Dutt’s son, Junaid is one of the best the industry can ask for. From inheriting his fathers look to demeanor, Junaid looks like another Mr. Perfectionist in the process. And wouldn’t we all love having one more in B-town?

Aaliyah Kashyap

Back to my favourite place ever ��

A post shared by Aaliyah Kashyap (@aaliyahk9) on Jul 9, 2017 at 7:16pm PDT

Daughter of critically acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and his ex-wife Aarti Bajaj, Aaliyah is already ruling the internet. Her adorable photos are something we all love. More than directing a film, we would love to see her in front of the camera, knocking everyone with her acting skills.

Hrehaan & Hridaan

‘Dad, do you want to build a snowman?’ ‘Sure!’ 3 hours, countless abandoned efforts and 7 escalating snowball fights later…. ‘It doesn’t have to be a snowman.’ ‘Sit back down. We’re going to make it one way or the other.’ #isntheacutelittleguy #snowmenaretricky #sorryOlaf

A post shared by Hrithik Roshan (@hrithikroshan) on Jul 9, 2017 at 5:31am PDT

Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan’s kids are already an internet sensation. Their father is a living example of a Greek god, people love him and we bet his kids have inherited the same from him. These little ones are already the cutest ones in town and all gearing up to take forward the Roshan clan.

What happens when Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s genes are mixed? A beautiful girl like Sara Ali Khan is born. Well, that explains it all. Ever since we spotted her in her father’s wedding with Kareena Kapoor, we fell in love with his diva. From making appearances every now and then to shooting for the cover of a popular magazine, she is already taking over Bollywood. Now we all know she is soon going to make her film debut and we can’t keep calm.

This one doesn’t need any introduction. She is like sunshine and plans to direct a film. However, we just wish to see her making her debut in front of the camera. A pro basket ball coach, Jackie Shroff’s daughter would be an incredible addition to a lot of upcoming actors. And if you haven’t checked her Instagram account yet, do it now!

Granddaughter of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, she is everything Bollywood could ask for. Her grandparents have literally ruled the industry single-handedly and now it’s her turn. With a huge legacy like that, one already knows that she is going to make it real big. Just wait till she comes!

Govinda ruled B-town for a very long time. There was no one like him and people expect the same from his son Yashvardhan.

Boney Kapoor and Sridevi’s daughters Jhanvi and Khushi Kapoor are two beauties who set our screens on fire. Often spotted on the red carpet, these two are getting ready to make their debut. Though Khushi still has time for it, it is Jhanvi who is already creating a buzz and we hope she does exactly what her mother could.

Karan Deol

The Deols have entertained us for a very long time. The journey that began with Dharmendra and continued on to his sons Sunny and Bobby and now it’s the third generation that will entertain us too. But could we expect anything less from the Deols? It would indeed be amazing to see Karan on-screen.

Ever since Sushmita Sen adopted her, she has been constantly talked about. She has been by her mother’s side in every phase of life, be it professional or personal. She is strong and fabulous, wouldn’t be surprised if she was roped in by some filmmaker for a very strong and demanding script.

Arhaan & Nirvaan

A post shared by Arhaan Khan (@iamarhaankhan) on Aug 16, 2015 at 6:26am PDT

Son of Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora, Arhaan might be the next Khan to rule the industry like a boss. In fact, just behind him is Sohail Khan’s son Nirvaan as well. The prospect of these two taking Salman’s legacy forward is a huge possibility.

Aalia Ebrahim

She has been criticised, bashed by the people for her photos but she is unbeatable. Daughter of Pooja Bedi, Aalia is sensual, talented and good looking and flaunts it proudly. You take on her and she will make sure to shut you up. Yeah, that’s her! Watching her on the silver screen would indeed be a delight.

dilip-kumar-759Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma’s much-awaited film will be served hot this Friday at a theatre near you. The Imtiaz Ali venture is all set to tug at your heartstrings with an interesting storyline and breathtakingly beautiful cinematography around lush locales of Prague, Amsterdam, and Budapest. For the first time in his 25-year-long career, Shah Rukh Khan will be seen playing a Sardar, while Anushka plays the part of a Punjabi kudi. While the cast and crew promote ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ before its release, we bring you the best quotes from their promotions.

Anushka Sharma: Shah Rukh can even romance a microphone
Anushka Sharma, during one of the promotional events, said romancing Shah Rukh Khan was quite easy and that he can even romance a microphone. The lead stars were joined by music director Pritam and film director Imtiaz Ali for the ‘Hawayeina’ song launch, where Anushka was quoted saying, “Romancing Shah Rukh was extremely easy! There is a genuineness in his eyes that we all can see – that reflects on-screen. In my opinion, he even can romance a microphone.”

She also expressed in another interview that the one thing that makes King Khan enigmatic among the women is his smile.

SRK: ‘JHMS’ was initially a story of a man trying to commit suicide
While Shah Rukh does not consider himself a romantic person, he went on to reveal that Imtiaz had earlier approached him with the idea of a man “trying to commit suicide” but he instantly dismissed that and asked for a “happier story”, giving birth to ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. He also believes that love stories are made by directors who are sensitive and understand a woman’s perspective about romance. The story of ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ revolves around the two and their adventures across Europe to reportedly find Sejal’s engagement ring.

Shah Rukh Khan: I love making love, not seeing it
At a recent song launch, Shah Rukh Khan?asked the permission of media before he shared a controversial thought. Then he said it anyway, “Ek controversial baat bolun, I love making love and not seeing it.” The 51-year-old actor also shared that he loves to watch romantic movies just because of his daughter, Suhana. The actor, who is playing the role of a tourist guide named Harry also believes that there is ‘Harry’ in everyone one.

SRK: I like a love story, but I like comedy more
Ask the King of Romance about his favourite genre of films and he reveals that he is not a fan of love stories. Present for an event recently, SRK was asked the same and pat came his reply, “No, no, I think that was misinterpreted. I like a love story also, but I like comedy more.” There have been frequent talks about Imtiaz Ali’s films being similar when it comes to the plot. However, Anushka and SRK seem to disagree. Admitting that “some props” were similar, the ‘NH10’ star said that there’s an “unbeatable lure” to his films. Similarly, SRK, having no doubts in his director’s talent, asserted that the filmmaker always has a “fresh perspective on romance”

Since the trailer of film ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ was out, people have been already looking forward to watching this film. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that it definitely looks like the entertainer of the year.

Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao, and Kriti Sanon together in this film make it a fun watch. We just got a glimpse of the movie through the trailer and we are already impressed. Rajkummar and Ayushmann’s rivalry is so spot-on that you might miss Kriti and not even realise it.

However, Kriti looks fabulous and this is the first time we will see her in this avatar. Especially, in the song ‘Sweety Tera Drama’ which we are already listening on loop. The movie is inspired from a book The Ingredients of Love by Nicolas Barreau.

The cast and the crew are being appreciated a lot for the trailer and as we look forward to the film, the cast decided to do something sweet for their fans. Just as the name suggests, the cast of the film gave a surprise visit to Tamasha, Mumbai and treated all their fans with Bareilly Ki Barfi. Check out the video yourself:

So now you can not just watch Bareilly Ki Barfi, but even taste the goodness of it!

The film is scheduled to hit the theatres on 18th August 2017.

Seems like we can’t get enough of stories about murders and crimes, and by the looks of it, this next one might be the best one till date. ‘Gone Girl’ and ‘Fight Club’ director David Fincher is coming out with a new show on Netflix called ‘Mindhunter’ and it’s all about what’s underneath when it comes to the world’s most dangerous killers.

The trailer for this much-awaited show, which is based on the book ‘Mind Hunter: Inside FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit’ written by Mark Olshaker and John E. Douglas, just came out, and it’s like we’re in proper Fincher territory.

The show references real-life cases like Charles Manson and the Son of Sam to tell a fictional tale. The two leads, played by Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany, play the role of two FBI agents who go from police station to police station to teach local law enforcement their techniques.

In a wider sense, though, the show will explore the psyche of murderers during a time when the term “serial killer” was just being invented. “How do we get ahead of crazy if we don’t know how crazy thinks?” is one of McCallany’s character’s dialogues from the trailer, and it perfectly sums up the premise of the show.

Even though the two agents receive a lot of backlash for ‘humanizing’ these ruthless criminals, they are still set on their philosophy that the only way to outsmart a criminal is to understand them.

David Fincher and Charlize Theron are the executive producers behind the show, and both of them first pitched the project to HBO in 2009, but since that obviously didn’t work out, Netflix made the wise decision of taking it up. Mark your calendars, the series is dropping on Netflix on October 13.

Malaika AroraMalaika Arora. Pic/Malaika Arora’s Instagram account

Bollywood diva Malaika Arora shut down a hater who called her a ‘s**t woman’ and accused her of living off ex-husband Arbaaz Khan’s money and divorcing him for alimony.

It all started when a Mumbai-based photographer posted a picture of Malaika Arora in shorts. In the comments, a troll attacked Malaika for feeding on her ex-husband Arbaaz Khan’s money and claimed she divorced him for alimony.

A user going by the name ‘feelgoodfabric’ wrote, “This what these s**t women do these days. Marry a rich guy then divorce him for huge alumni. And then have fun with that alumni. Why do u need alumni if u are capable of earning… I respect ppl and not the gender…. (sic)”

He added, “Her life now is aal about wearing short clothes, going to gym or salon, enjoying the vacation. Do u seriously have any work… Or just feeding urself on the husband’s money (sic)”

He also commented, “The word is alimony (sic)”

Malaika Arora hit back at the hater and commented, “I donot indulge in such conversation coz it’s below my dignity,but I jus had to @feelgoodfabric coz u certainly got to get ur damn facts right before spewing shit n slagging me off when u know nothing bout me.except sit n pass judgement on other people’s life.i seriously suggest u find something to do with ur time coz u clearly have nothing better to do in life (sic)”

Here are screenshots of the comments:

Malaika gave a fitting reply to her troll, don’t you agree?

Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora have always maintained cordial relations with each other. The two were granted divorce in May. The couple, who married in 1998, had filed for it on mutual consent last November.

The custody of their son Arhaan remains with Malaika, while Arbaaz has access whenever he wants.

Malaika and Arbaaz have not let their divorce come in the way of spending quality time with their son Arhaan and other family members. Take a look:

Despite their split, Arbaaz insists his equation with Malaika’s family has remained unchanged. In anearlier interview with mid-day, Arbaaz said, “My association with Malaika spans over two decades. So, I have always been on good terms with her family. We celebrated special occasions earlier too. If things haven’t gone well between us, it doesn’t mean that the equation with the family changes. They still have a lot of love and affection for me and I have respect for them. Malaika wasn’t with us on New Year’s, but was there a few days before that. But, that’s not the point. We are very amicable.”

The two do not want their teenage son, Arhaan, to be affected by their separation. “We are responsible parents and don’t want our child to get affected. We want him to grow up in a healthy atmosphere rather than be worried if his parents will confront each other when they meet. Malaika and I are mature individuals and don’t want anyone around us to be affected,” he said.

Fuck the world. Live by these words and you’ll be more successful than anyone you know. Start thinking about what  society thinks about you and get stuck in a vicious circle. Sahil Khan is the perfect example of the ‘I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude’.  He didn’t take his downfall at the box office to heart and became a fitness and lifestyle icon instead.  And truth be told, the man’s built like a tank and living it like a king. 

As you read this, Sahil’s somewhere in Europe on a yacht with hot as hell women. We are not assuming it, he’s doing it. Check these pictures out! 

  

Sahil’s presently killing it on a trip with some of his friends and of course, he’s keeping his fans updated through his social media handles. 

Just in case you were wondering who the girl in the pink bikini is, well, she’s a close friend of Sahil’s and her name is Love Rose . 

The vacation is full on LIT with champagne……

 Scantily clad, pretty women…..

 

And a lot of good food!

 

Sahil’s always been open about living life king-sized. Everything from his Facebook to Instagram talks about a life of luxury and fitness. Well, hate it or love it but the man does enjoy a serious fan following on social media that is keeping him afloat.

Melisandre has always been somewhat of a mystery and we loved the touch of magic in the show, save for the fact that her miscalculated prediction causes the death of a little girl. After all, dragons can’t do much beyond breathing fire, can they? In her brief appearance in episode 3, Melisandre drops a very important hint about Varys that we have most probably missed.

The Huge Plot Twist Behind Melisandre's Words To Varys© HBO

After bringing fire and ice together, Melisandre decides to leave Dragonstone; of course, we know why she is avoiding Jon Snow and Ser Davos – the blood of a little girl on her hands doesn’t look too good. She tells a suspicious Varys that she is going to Volantis. Varys slyly tells her not to return to Dragonstone as it might not be safe for her anymore.

Melisandre’s response “I will return […] one last time. I have to die in this strange country, just like you”  left both Varys and the viewers stumped. What did she mean?! Is she predicting Varys’ death? Does she know something we don’t?

The Huge Plot Twist Behind Melisandre's Words To Varys© HBO

First things first, if you thought Varys was being hostile towards the Red Witch for no reason, you are right. The reason can be traced back to the tragic incident that changed his life forever. Varys was bought by a sorcerer who castrated him as part of a magic ritual and later left him to die on the streets. He confesses to Tyrion that he hates magic and sorcerers and explains his dislike of the Red Witch.

The Huge Plot Twist Behind Melisandre's Words To Varys© HBO

If you recall, Varys hears a voice from the flames, a fact he is uncomfortable with. The fact that Varys has a connection with the supernatural world has been established in the show. Fan theories suggest that he is not lowborn, but of royal blood – something the Red Witch also hints at when she says, “None of us are common folk anymore.” It is believed that the voice speaks to him during the blood ritual, because he is of royal blood.

The Huge Plot Twist Behind Melisandre's Words To Varys© HBO

Melisandre’s prediction of his death hints at two major possibilities – Varys could betray Daenerys, the result of which would be him being burned alive, or he could be capable of magic himself, just like the Red Witch, even though he hates it.

Throwback to season 6 when Kinvara, a priestess in R’hllor, stumps Varys by asking him “Should I tell you what the voice said? Should I tell you the name of the one who spoke?”  Was the voice predicting his death? Does he know he will die in fire?

Varys, if he indeed betrays Daenerys, could then change the course of war since he is an insider in her camp and would be privy to the most confidential of plans. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure – Varys will not have a linear role in the coming episodes.
