While flaunting abs and owning a chiseled body has become an imperative (and quite common) part of Bollywood, if we were to credit someone for starting that trend, we will collectively pick only one name – John Abraham. The model turned actor has this particular air around him, since his debut days. An air that makes women go weak in their knees the moment they look at him.

But looks and a chiseled body isn’t the only trait he’s got, he’s a great actor who recently turned into a producer and even won a National Award for ‘Vicky Donor’.

John has had his fair share of struggles in the beginning of his acting career, but today he is one of the most sought after actors in Bollywood and a member of the 100-crore club. His movies, ‘Madras Café’, ‘Rocky Handsome’ and ‘Force 2’, were appreciated both critically and commercially.

There are only a few people in the world who can proudly say that “age is just a number” and it seems like John Abraham belongs to that part of the world. John is unarguably one of the hottest and fittest actors in Bollywood, who can give actors half his age a run for their money. We have actually started wondering if there is any bottle of magical potion that he is secretly sipping from!

The actor turned 45 today, but still looks like a 20-year-old. And we kind of know the secret ingredient behind this killer body – his dedication towards fitness. John has turned into an inspiration for millions and millions of men.

Although Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma opted for a secret hush-hush wedding, the news of this power couple tying the knot stirred a gigantic storm across the whole world, which does not seem to die down anytime soon.

Ever since the couple ‘Virushka’ officially confirmed their wedding on Twitter, their wedding and engagement pictures have been flooding the Internet; and no matter how many times we look at them, we just can’t get enough of this couple and their dream wedding in Tuscany, Italy.

The couple’s social media accounts are flooded with wishes from their fans, and amidst those wishes and gifts, there was one that especially touched our hearts. That special wedding gift was from none other than Sudarshan Pattnaik, the internationally acclaimed sand artist who has never failed to impress us with his impeccable sand artwork at Odisha’s Puri Beach. The Padma Shri Awardee, Pattnaik, dedicated this amazing sand sculpture to Indian Cricket team’s Captain Virat Kohli and ‘Sultan’ actress Anushka Sharma. 

He wrote, “Wedding gift for @imVkohli & @AnushkaSharma through my SandArt at Puri Beach in Odisha. Wishing both of you happy married life. #VirushkaWEDDING.”

Bollywood simply loves remakes, and so do we, but only when it’s not a senseless rip-off. Since the time we got a glimpse of ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ trailer, we can’t help but get all excited about the movie which is set to hit the screens soon.

The reboot is one of the most anticipated films of 2017 and having Dwayne Johnson in it just adds more to the thrill of witnessing the twisted world of Jumanji once again.

Jumanji(c) Sony Pictures

Bollywood often comes up with remakes and we are seriously hoping this is on their list as well. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see who will say the epic dialogues in Hindi, “Did someone roll a five or an eight?” and “WHAT YEAR IS IT?”

Thinking about the Bollywood version, we already have some fabulous ‘desi’ actors in mind that would absolutely fit the bill.

1. Dwayne Johnson – Prabhas

Jumanji: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE (c) Sony Pictures

Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock’, doesn’t need an introduction and nor does our very own mighty ‘Baahubali’ aka Prabhas. With their identical muscular physique and amazing sense of humor, Prabhas is cent percent the right pick for this role. Known for giving his best, we can bet that Prabas will definitely justify the role of Dr. Smolder Bravestone, an archaeologist, and explorer.

2. Kevin Hart – Varun Dhawan

Jumanji: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE (c) Sony Pictures

Who better than Varun Dhawan to play Kevin Hart role of Franklin “Moose” Finbar, a zoologist and weapons specialist? Varun fits perfectly into the funny shoes of Kevin since he himself is a big fan of the WWE star and nurtures the dream of working with him someday.

3. Jack Black – Arshad Warsi

Jumanji: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE(c) Sony Pictures

There is no one like Arshad Warsi when it comes to comedy and wit. The man can literally leave you in splits in seconds with just a straight face. So who other than Arshad to don Jack Black’s role of Professor Sheldon “Shelly” Oberon, a cartographer, cryptographer, archaeologist, and palaeontologist? We can already imagine Arshad taking it to another level.

4. Karen Gillan – Katrina Kaif

jUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE (c) Sony Pictures

After having played an explorer-cum-spy-cum-writer in ‘Jagga Jasoos’, Katrina is one hell of an actress who is even known for doing her own stunts. She is one who can easily transform herself into the chic jungle fighter flawlessly. Karen plays Ruby Roundhouse, a killer of men and dance fighter and this role needs someone who can do it all effortlessly and Kat is the one and only for it!

5. Director – Jake Kasdan – Rohit Shetty

jUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE(c) Sony Pictures

Making a Bollywood version of Jumanji needs an actor who can totally pull it off with style and who better than Rohit Shetty to deal with a subject like that? Maybe Rohit should take our suggestion seriously and work on this project.

Now doesn’t that sound like a full proof plan for a blockbuster Bollywood film? The film ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ is all set to hit the screens on 29th December and we bet this reboot will be one hell of a watch.

Actor Kaushik Sen and his son Riddhi were allegedly heckled on Saturday night at NSC Bose International Airport in Kolkata following arguments over car parking

Kolkata: Actor Kaushik Sen and his son Riddhi were allegedly heckled on Saturday night at NSC Bose International Airport in Kolkata following arguments over car parking. One airport parking agency employee was arrested after Sen, who was returning to the city from Bhubaneswar along with his wife, filed a complaint at Airport Police Station about the alleged heckling, sources in the police station said on Sunday.

Actor, son allege heckling at Kolkata airport, 1 arrestedKaushik Sen with Riddhi

The actor said the accused misbehaved with the driver of his car when he stopped the vehicle outside the domestic terminal area to drop his son, who had gone there to receive his parents. He also slapped a fine of Rs 100 on the driver for exceeding the free 10 minutes allowed to pick or drop a person.

Later, when Sen and his family were about to leave the parking lot outside the terminal, they found the accused allegedly ‘misbehaving’ with another car driver and protested against it.

“We got down from our car when we saw another gentleman and his driver were being harassed for protesting against overcharging. As we tried to intervene, I and my son Riddhi were heckled and verbally abused. We then called up the police station and some officers arrived at the spot to bring the situation under control,” he said.

Countering the actor’s claims, an official of the parking agency said Sen, his son and the occupants of another car misbehaved with the parking agency staff. He demanded that the CCTV footage be examined to ascertain what exactly happened last night.

Producer Ritesh Sidhwani says, contrary to reports, the Akshay Kumar-starrer “Gold” is not a biopic on former hockey player Balbir Singh Sr

Producer Ritesh Sidhwani says, contrary to reports, the Akshay Kumar-starrer “Gold” is not a biopic on former hockey player Balbir Singh Sr. It was being reported that the film is based on the life of hockey player Balbir Singh – played by Akshay – who was a part of the team that won the first Olympic medal for India as a free nation in 1948. Sidhwani clarified that his forthcoming film, co-produced by Farhan Akhtar under their production house Excel Entertainment, is a story based on true events, not a biopic.

“It is not a biopic. It is a completely fictional story but it is set against a real backdrop between 1933-48 India about what the country was, the sports… About hockey. It is
not based on any character,” Sidhwani told PTI in an interview here. “We have set it in real events so people (often) confuse it with a biopic. It talks about the era in which we achieved Independence and what happened with sports, (primarily) hockey at that time. It is not about a particular character and Akshay is not even playing (hockey in the film). He plays the manager,” he added.

Sidhwani said it was director of the film, Reema Kagti, who chose the National Award-winning actor for “Gold”. “When Reema came to us with the story, it was on her wish
list to go to an actor. And our job as producers is to take her to that actor, so we did that. Akshay was her choice,” he said. It is for the first time that Excel Entertainment has teamed up with Akshay.

“He is the most professional actor. He is dedicated and focused about his work. He comes on the sets and is there till you don’t finish the shoot. It is not that he will go and sit in his vanity van or have meetings or talk to people. “He is a terrific person. It was pleasure to work with him. I think this is the beginning of many associations,”
Sidhwani said. The film, also featuring Amit Sadh and Mouni Roy in key roles, is set to be released on August 15.

“Gold” is the first sports film to be backed by their banner. Sidhwani said it will be followed by another sports story, based on the Rio Paralympics silver medallist, Deepa Malik. The project is already in the works. The next most-talked about film is Zoya Akhtar-directed “Gully Boy”, featuring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt.

“We are doing a story on a hip-hop artiste (referring to the film). It is not based on anyone’s life. It is inspired by the hip-hop circuit that exists in the underground of this city. “We start shooting in January. Most of the film will be shot on real locations in Mumbai, we are not going to shoot much on the sets,” the producer said.

He made his debut with Karan Johar’s ‘Student of the Year’ and five years down the line, Varun Dhawan is one of the most loved celebs in B-town. Since his first movie till date, his films are making big bucks at the box office. Believe it or not, the man has not given a single flop yet. And his two films that released this year are still making waves.

‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ and ‘Judwaa 2’ has made over 120 crores each. Now isn’t that a factor to be proud of?

I’m going to celebrate #NationalJeansDay with @fbbonline this Sunday, 17th December. Head over to the fbb store closest to you this Sunday and #GrabAPair of jeans almost free!

A post shared by Varun Dhawan (@varundvn) on Dec 15, 2017 at 11:27pm PST

To celebrate his achievements and end 2017 on a high note, the actor got himself a new bachelor pad and it’s everything that defines him.

To spread the love, he hosted a housewarming party where all his friends and family were invited. Among them was Anupam Kher who shares a close bond with Dhawan’s family. Kher has not just starred in various films by Varun’s father David Dhawan but has also seen the actor growing into the wonderful man he is today.

A post shared by Varun Dhawan (@varundvn) on Dec 16, 2017 at 3:42am PST

Kher took to his Instagram sharing his happiness for Varun, giving everyone a tour of his new house that lavish AF.

He posted the video and captioned it, “@varundvn gives me an exclusive tour of his new home. Have seen him as a child when his proud father #DavidDhawan used to travel around on a Vespa scooter. Hard work pays. Mom #LaliDhawan has done the interiors. #ProudOfDhawans #Congratulations #LoveAndBlessings #KuchBhiHoSaktaHai.” 

The video starts with his living room that’s really huge as per Mumbai’s home standards. A sad fact every Mumbaikar can relate to. You get a glimpse of his bedroom, walking closet, his office and personal projection room. Adding more entertainment quotient to the video is a small cameo of ‘daddy’ Dhawan.

It has been a great year for Varun indeed and we can see him making the best of it.

On the work front, Varun has just wrapped up shooting of Shoojit Sircar’s ‘October’ which is scheduled to hit the theatres on April 13, 2018.

‘Bigg Boss’ has become a show that adds the much-required entertainment dose to our otherwise monotonous lives. Those regular with the show are now accustomed to the fact, that Sunday is the day which decides the fate of one of the contestants.

And tonight, it’s time for this season’s most loved contestant Hiten Tejwani to bid goodbye to the BB house. Looks like Hiten apparently failed to entertain the viewers recently and is all set to be evicted tonight. This might come as a surprise to many, after all, Shilpa Shinde and Hiten were considered to be the strongest contestants among Priyank Sharma and Luv Tyagi who were nominated for eviction this week. 

Bigg Boss 11 (c) Colors

But when Luv and Shilpa were saved last night by host Salman Khan, everything took a new and unpredicted turn. So the battle for survival was between Hiten and Priyank and it looks like Priyank has gotten lucky once again.

Hiten’s wife Gauri Pradhan and his kids’ recent visit reduced him to a puddle of tears and happiness. That visit made him more confident and just when he had finally started playing the real game, this rather devastating development came forward. 

Image 1(c) Colors

Apparently the famous television actor got lesser votes and this has now left his fans enraged, as they have taken to Twitter to lash out against the show saying it is planned and scripted. 

Somewhere Vikas @lostboy54  is also responsible for hiten’s eviction.he is trying to save Puneesh and gandagi @BandgiK since last 4-5 weeks.he only told Arshi to save puneesh.see what happened now..@tentej is EVICTED! #BiggBoss11 #BB11 #WeekendKaVaar @TheKhabari2 @TheRealityShows

I am so sad on news of @tentej eviction.
He was playing with grace and his bond with @lostboy54 is irreplaceable.

So, its confirmed that #HitenTejwani is evicted! I wanted to not believe it til yesterday but now it’s reality. Probably the most saddening eviction of #BB11. The most mature person and true gentleman is out while people like Arshi, Priyank continue to be on the show. Sad

And imagine who was behind hiten’s eviction.
One & only arshi Khan with support of vikas.
Not blaming vikas bcz he would have hardly imagined hiten will go in front of luv n priyank.
But in one of ED, arshi said if given power she will eliminate someone strong #BB11

— Shilpa Kar ✌ (@shilpa5smiles) December 16, 2017

Gaurav got special treatment from Bigg Boss before eviction

Hiten also got special treatment. Biwi se Do baar mila diya. Bacho se mila diya. Fir evict kar diya

Bass sab kuch Apni galti chupane tareeeke he @BiggBoss ki

Ache logo ko ya toh evict karte he ya toh torture #BB11

— AmritA💔 (@_AmritaSpeaks) December 16, 2017

Well, fans are truly disappointed but one can say that unlike other contestants, Hiten lived in the house with respect and his dignity intact.

Amidst all the drama, one can totally see Luv Tyagi playing it very well and saving himself every single time. Someone surely has got a major fan following we must say! 

Do you think this is really the end of the road for Hiten or does the ‘Bigg Boss’ have plans to ‘resurrect’ him?
