Virat Kohli Invites His Biggest Fan To His Reception Proving He's A Superstar For The Masses

Dec 272017

Virushka is not yet done and dusted with. It’s that viral (also vital) entity of social media that will circle the sun along with the Earth. They looked gorgeous, and people had fun, you know all about that. Here’s something that many saw on social media, but few understood why. Virat and Anushka had extended their reception invite to a differently-abled fan from Sri Lanka also who was spotted being clicked with the cricketers.

Gayan Senanayake’s association and fandom with Virat goes a long way. He had met Kohli back in 2009 in Malaysia and every time the cricketer was in his country, Gayan tried to stay in touch with him. You might think that Kohli extended his warmth to his fan and recognised him everywhere, like most celebs would. However, the fact that he made sure that he was invited to his reception has earned him so much love, that Twitter cannot summarise it in mere 140 characters.

Whatever we used to think about Kohli, he has proved us all wrong. The man’s a real hero. A good human being. #class

This is pure representation of sheer chivalry and goodness that the man has inside him.

This easily proves that Virat Kohli is a true gentleman. Some of our countrymen hate him only coz he is not in our team. It’s time we accept his greatness. Hats off @imVkohli @daniel86cricket

Virat Kohli – Seriously Gentleman! He is such a humble person and always passionate towards his game aggressively. Off the field he is nice person. Salute

Not to forget, it’s won over every Sri Lankan’s heart and people are asking if cricketers back home would do the same.

That’s a truly nice gesture. I wonder how many of our SL cricketers would invite him?

Most Sri Lankans criticize & hate kholi coz of his on field attitude but no one knows about his humanity that’s Kohli We Wish You a successful and happy marriage life.

Do you need any more proof of Virat Kohli being a numero uno, both on field and off field? I don’t think so.

10 Things That Happened When Akshay, Irrfan, Rajkummar Rao, Varun & Ayushmann Sat Together

Celebrities

Dec 272017

What would happen when Akshay Kumar, Irrfan Khan, Rajkummar Rao, Varun Dhawan and Ayushmann Khurana sat together for a discussion? The image of these five powerhouses sharing a space and talking about their films and craft is enough to intrigue anyone’s attention. Rajeev Masand’s pick for this year’s ‘The Actors Roundtable’ was indeed an interesting one.

Here are the few interesting things we learned about the aforesaid actors, and the developments that transpired will blow you away.

Akshay Kumar’s Wit & Humour Is Spot On

There is no one in the industry who can be as entertaining as Akshay Kumar. The man is a charmer and he is the only one who can steal the spotlight with his bang on wit and humour. From slandering a director to talking about his plan B, the actor’s revelations were too much fun!

Varun Dhawan Has WAY Too Many Opinions

Everyone has an opinion, but Varun is 100 steps ahead. Be it Rajkummar speaking or Irrfan Khan talking, Varun couldn’t help himself from diving into every conversation. It was like he just had to jabber away and almost get killed in the process!

Irrfan Khan Is Flawless

It goes without saying that Irrfan Khan is one of the most versatile actors we have and there is no one who can say otherwise. Talking about his work, we got to know that things come naturally to him. “It’s compulsory to make writer’s line your own. If the lines remain foreign to you, you will never be able to deliver with conviction,” he said during the discussion.

Akshay Kumar Loved Travelling Abroad For Free

“Before marriage, mujhe bahar jaane ka baada shauk tha. I have always done films which were shooting abroad…London, Canada, Mauritius. Koi kahaani sunane aata tha ki sir aap Mysore mein hai…..beta chal bahar jaa, isko leke jao bahar. Aree kya mein Mysore mein rahunga? Nahi sir aap interval mein puchenge Malaysia. And I would say, ‘theek hai jab aana’.” He is just so funny!

Rajkummar Rao Is Happy In His Space

This has been Rajkummar Rao’s year. The actor has not only ruled the box office with his commendable performances but his debut in the web-series as the young Subhash Chandra Bose has been the talk of the town as well. While speaking about his success and work, he simply said, “I don’t think about success and failure, they are the by-products but I am happy. There are directors who want to make bigger movies with me and producers who would back it.”

The Make Or Break Moment Of A Film

Rajkummar went into details about a scene he shot for ‘Shahid’ and said, “There is a four-second scene where Shahid has to hug his mother after being released from the jail. I took time to imagine that I haven’t met my own mother.”

But Varun HAD to turn things in his direction. What he said next left our jaws on the floor. “Something similar happened to me when I thought that Vaidehi and Badri should make out but the director thought otherwise.”

WOW! Just WOW! What an idea sirji!

Nepotism Isn’t In Akshay’s Dictionary

Akki clearly mentioned that if his son wants to do a film, he will have to make his way. He won’t produce a film for him. “I am not going to help him. You need the hit and need to fall down very hard to reach a point.”

Rajeev Couldn’t Talk About Nepotism, So Let’s Talk About Lineage

Nepotism was a touchy topic because there was a by-product sitting at the roundtable. Actors were asked to give their views. Akshay kept it real and said, “I don’t care about it. For me it’s important I work every day. People will forget everything.” Ayushmann agreed and added, “The industry lives in present.”

Rajkummar chimed in saying how he doesn’t take it seriously and 50 years down the line he would want to be proud and happy with his work.

Irrfan’s Point Blank View On Legacy

Irrfan gave a reply that was too accurate to miss, “I don’t think about legacy. I am not a Khan, I am just Irrfan. I don’t have a lineage nor do I want to think how I will be remembered. I am in love with Dilip Kumar and the truth is people forgot him. Legacy is a useless thought!” Thank heavens Varun was smart enough to keep quiet during this particular discussion.

The Audience Won’t Settle For Less

While some movies did perform well at the box office, many big ones failed. Talking about it, Irrfan said how the Hindi audience is getting mature and intelligent and that they won’t settle for less. “The audience wants an emotional experience. They are forcing you to up your game,” he added.

New 'Black Panther' TV Spot Teases Us With An Epic Showdown Between T'Challa & Eric Killmonger

Celebrities

Dec 272017

While some of us were busy unwrapping gifts on Monday, Marvel played Santa and packed the best possible surprise for the rest of us who weren’t expecting much (or didn’t get anything) this Christmas. Ahead of its release, over a month and a half to be precise, Marvel rolled out a short teaser of ‘Black Panther’. As if we weren’t getting desperate and impatient already while waiting for its release, Marvel Studios is making the wait harder by taking our excitement to a pinnacle with a constant number of teasers and trailers.

‘Black Panther’ is undoubtedly going to be THE most anticipated film to give 2018 the much need push to make a bang on entry. The trailer, which came out in October, has already skyrocketed our expectations and excitement, and this teaser totally lives up to its reputation of being brilliant.

Set in the fictional world of Wakanda, ‘Black Panther’ focuses on the journey of T’Challa (played by Chadwick Boseman), who became king after his father’s assassination in ‘Captain America: Civil War’.

If you are under the impression that this TV spot is going to be another video that will either be a compilation of clips from previous trailers, sorry to burst the bubble for you guys. This video teases us with glimpse of T’Challa with his bodyguard/ love interest Nakia (played by Lupita Nyong’o), and has shots of Erik Killmonger (played by Michael B. Jordan) yelling “I am gonna burn it all” with all his savagery and badassery intact. Honestly, this is where things heat up as we start craving for more of the two.

Although this action-packed teaser was only 30-seconds short, we have no complaints. Because like they say “good things come in small packages”; so we are going to play and replay this ‘King’ TV spot and relish this marvel-ous gift we could have ever asked for.

Directed by Ryan Coogler, ‘Black Panther’ will hit theatres on February 16, 2018 ahead of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’. ‘Black Panther’ also stars Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Andy Serkis and Forest Whitaker.

After watching this teaser, we guess it’s safe to say that 2018 is going to be ruled by Marvel Studios (we are hopeful that at least the first half will).

He is popular, powerful and one of the most eligible bachelors in India. Even at 52, Salman Khan owns the Midas touch and can give any actor a tough competition—be it on-screen or off-screen.

Worshipped by millions, Salman is more than just a craze! He ain’t just a superstar, he is a demigod. Such is his following that his fans can do anything just to get a glimpse of him.

Well, Salman is the ‘Sultan’ of Bollywood but what’s amazing to see is how even at this age the man can make everyone drool over his chiselled body. There is no one who can who can go shirtless as confidently as Salman and we are really impressed.

Here are 12 times the actor inspired us and many others to sweat it out and get that perfect bod.

Since ‘Oh Oh Jaane Jaana’ days, the man is giving us major fitness goals!
