Still feasting on the heart-warming images spilling out from Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s recently concluded wedding, netizens did not expect to find themselves waking up to news of Angad Bedi and Neha Dhupia’s nuptials yesterday. The lovebirds took everyone by surprise by announcing their marriage by sharing pictures from their Anand Karaj ceremony held at a Vasant Vihar Gurudwara.

A source, who attended the wedding told mid-day, “It was a quiet ceremony because that’s how they wanted it to be. It was an intimate affair, with only friends and family in attendance. They wanted to break the news to the world, so even we refrained from posting photos online.”

The former cricketer’s friends from the field, Ajay Jadeja and Ashish Nehra, apart from actor Gaurav Kapoor and photographer Prasad Naik showed up for the ceremonies – starting with the mehendi rituals on Wednesday evening – at a half-day notice. Neha Dhupia wore a blush chanderi embroidered lehenga designed by Anita Dongre. Apt for a daytime ceremony, the lehenga had exquisite zardosi and resham work. Dhupia teamed it with a kundan choker and matching earrings from Dongre’s jewellery collection.

Another friend of the couple adds, “They are planning a Mumbai reception. They will host a party to make up for not having invited us to the wedding. But, they are in most likelihood, leaving for the US tonight for a charity event, and will be back next week.”

In a joint statement, the couple announced, “Marrying your best friend is one of the greatest feelings in the world, and we are extremely fortunate to have found love in each other.”

Arjun Kapoor on collaborating with Raid director, Raj Kumar Gupta, for a thriller based on India’s 2012 secret mission to capture India’s most wanted terrorist

With Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Namastey England and Panipat, Arjun Kapoor will be seen straddling diverse genres of romantic thriller, romantic comedy and period drama. Now, the actor has given his nod to Raj Kumar Gupta’s next, India’s Most Wanted. The thriller is said to be inspired by a secret mission that was conducted between 2012 and 2014 to capture one of the country’s most dreaded terrorists.

Arjun Kapoor, who plays an intelligence officer, tells mid-day, “The film revolves around an event that transpired recently, but not a lot of people know about it. My character is straight out of a real-life incident. It intrigues me to play such a role.” The youngster believes that it will be exciting to collaborate with the Raid director who belongs to the school of gritty cinema. “He was the first director to call me after watching Ishaqzaade [2012]. He said he was looking forward to working with me some day. When he narrated the script of India’s Most Wanted to me, I felt proud of my motherland and its unsung heroes.”

To be shot between Nepal and Delhi in a start-to-finish schedule in July, the movie is slated to hit screens in May 2019. Gupta says, “I am looking forward to my collaboration with Arjun and producers Fox Star. He is a sincere actor and the best choice for the role.”

Huma Qureshi turns to celebrated desi couturiers for turns on French Riviera

Huma Qureshi

Having returned to the French Riviera for the 71st Cannes Film Festival yesterday, Huma Qureshi has chosen to make Indian designers’ names part of the whispers that fill the red carpet. After having sported a white Varun Bahl creation at the festival’s India Pavilion inauguration ceremony yesterday, Qureshi will slip into designs crafted by Manish Malhotra and Falguni & Shane Peacock for the upcoming events on the international shore. Celebrity stylist Mohit Rai, the man behind her Cannes turns tells mid-day that they were conscious in picking Indian names for her look.

“For several years, Indian artistes have been wearing international designers at the Cannes red carpet. The idea [this time] was to showcase Indian talent on international shores. The younger, cooler designers [in this case, the Indian designers when pitted against international labels] never make it to the Cannes,” he says. 

Huma Qureshi

For Huma Qureshi, the designs, he says, will be subtle. “We wanted to create beautiful looks, keeping in mind a muted palette. We chose to create [the look of] a strong, bold woman. Huma stands out, and we wanted her to express her individuality.” Qureshi will slip into a lavender Falguni & Shane Peacock creation for tomorrow’s proceedings. Falguni tells mid-day, “With Huma, we wanted to create a sharp look. We’ve designed a pewter suit with power shoulders and a cape.”

Chunky and Bhavna Pandey got married on January 17, 1998, at the same hotel where Sonam’s reception was held

Chunky and Bhavna Pandey got married on January 17, 1998, at the same hotel where Sonam’s reception was held. It was nostalgia time for the couple. Anil Kapoor had attended their nuptials and now they were at his daughter’s wedding at the same venue. Chunky and Bhavana have a daughter Ananya Panday, who is set to make her Bollywood debut this year alongside Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria with Student Of The Year 2, which is being produced by Karan Johar.

While Chunky Panday‘s daughter Ananya is set to make her Bollywood foray, the actor says nephew Ahaan will also join the bandwagon, but, Johar’s Dharma Productions will not mark his launch. Chunky was addressing reporters at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards voting weekend. Responding to questions on whether Ahaan would make his debut soon, he said, “My nephew Ahaan is just like my son. He is famous on Instagram and Twitter. A [film] announcement [involving him] will also be made soon. He is not debuting with Dharma. The other banner could be Yash Raj [Films]. I can’t talk about it, but good news is on its way.”

Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja‘s wedding reception was a grand affair that saw the creme-de-la-creme of Bollywood under one roof. From Shah Rukh Khan to Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar to Saif Ali Khan, the A-listers were all smiles for the shutterbugs and blessed the newlyweds with their presence for the couple’s glamorous reception party.

Photos and videos, shared by celebrities on social media pages, were out instantly and looking at them one can only say Sonam Kapoor’s wedding reception was high on fun. Though Karan Johar and Ranveer Singh’s crazy dance videos going viral were on cards, it was Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Anil Kapoor’s performances that actually managed to steal the show.

Breaking down John Abraham’s look in RAW, director tells the actor to get buzz cut for spy drama

Ahead of Romeo Akbar Walter RAW going on floors in June, the team is hard at work finalising leading man John Abraham’s look. The actor, we hear, will be sporting a buzz cut in the espionage drama that is set against the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971. To add to his character of a spy, Abraham is also working towards attaining a leaner physique. The team — including the actor, director Robby Grewal, producers Ajay Kapoor and Bunty Walia, and makeup artist Vikram Gaikwad — is set to conduct a series of look tests before zeroing in on one.

Grewal tells mid-day, “It’s a true-blue espionage film with John playing a RAW agent. While it has its share of action sequences, it’s not an action film. You won’t see him bashing up 10 people. Instead, the film will delve into the mindspace of a spy. We are presenting John in a different avatar – he will sport a leaner frame and possibly, a buzz cut. We will explore various looks before locking in on one for his role.”

The director adds that John Abraham‘s character will be seen sporting various disguises in keeping with the narrative of the spy thriller. Intrigued by the political climate during the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war, Grewal says that he decided to weave a fictional story set in the era. “The story is fictional, but the events [that form part of the background in] 1971 are part of my script. Things were dramatically different in that era, and the secret service was a fantastic unit to be part of, in those times.”

In what can be called the ultimate casting coup, director Karan Malhotra has got Sanjay Dutt to play the ruthless, merciless villain in Yash Raj Film’s period action-adventure Shamshera! He will be pitted against Ranbir Kapoor in the mega action spectacle. Interestingly, Shamshera will be Sanjay’s first ever film with YRF.

Talking about it Sanjay Dutt said, “My father and Yash uncle were very close friends and now that I’m doing my first YRF film, it is an extremely emotional moment for me. When I heard Karan’s idea to pit Ranbir against me, I thought it was just brilliant. I’m looking forward to shooting this incredibly exciting film, my second with the hugely talented Karan Malhotra.”

On the other hand, director Karan Malhotra says, “Shamshera is a highly ferocious and fearless character in the film. Therefore his nemesis, the villain had to be even more fierce and monumental in every aspect. Who’s better than Sanjay Sir to give us that impact on screen.”

This high-octane adventure film is set in the heartland of India and will have jaw-dropping action sequences and a never seen before Ranbir Kapoor.

Here is the teaser of the film Shamshera:

Shamshera is set to go on floors end of this year and shooting will wrap by mid-2019.

Keeping the wedding under wraps, the duo had an intimate Sikh wedding in a gurudwara in New Delhi. Decked up in a white ivory sherwani and a light pink ‘saafa’, Angad made the perfect groom giving his fans a serious fashion lesson. On the other hand, Neha looked stunningly beautiful in a pink lehenga. The couple’s unions looked like a match made in heaven.

The duo has been friends for some time now and soon they fell in love. While many speculated about their relationship, no one ever guessed it. But now when we see their unnoticed pictures, we realise that the secret wedding was always on its way.

Neha and Angad had a low key wedding and no one knew about it until they broke the news. The wedding was attended by close friends and family. Ajay Jadeja, Ashish Nehra, and Gaurav Kapoor attended the wedding. Neha always wanted an intimate wedding and Angad obliged.

The stunning pictures from inside their wedding are finally here and we can’t keep calm.

Ever wondered how much money do these A-lister Hollywood actors make when they seal the deal for a movie? Yeah, sure, it’s worth millions and probably more than any of us would make in our lifetime but still, how much actually?

Salaries Of Dwayne Johnson , Vin Diesel & Daniel Craig Revealed© Variety

Amongst the actresses, Anne Hathaway is leading the pack with $15 million in her kitty for ‘Barbie’.  Wage gap is a legit thing and even Hollywood is dealing with it right now. Jennifer Lawrence earned $15 million for ‘Red Sparrow’.

@maisonvalentino and @pppiccioli, @jamesbanksdesign, @hairbyadir, @kateleemakeup, @charla_la_la, @caseynails and @pennylovellstylist- thank you for the incredible collaboration!!! You are a dream team x #ValentinoForever #MetGala

A post shared by Anne Hathaway (@annehathaway) on May 8, 2018 at 11:15am PDT

Dwayne will get over $1million to promote his movie on his social handles as per his deal. If you see the trend, seems like actors associated with franchises definitely earn more.

While the madness around Sonam and Anand’s wedding seem to be calming down, looks like Disha Patani is back into our social media feeds being the goddess that she is. She is currently on a vacation and her new video doing a headstand underwater is HOT. No kidding.

Disha is vacationing at some undisclosed location but it seems like Tiger ain’t there. She is anyway a water baby and her vacation pictures are mostly from beaches.

Singer Mika Singh, who performed at the wedding reception of Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja, says it is very difficult to make two superstars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan dance together on the stage. Mika Singh was interacting with the media along with model Aarti Khetarpal and Singer Madhu Valli, during the launch of song Sama – The Summer Love on Wednesday in Mumbai. Sharing his experience of the latest Bollywood wedding reception that took place on Tuesday, Mika said: “I will never forget this party in my entire life because it was one of the biggest days of my life.

He said when he was performing, Shah Rukh and Salman came on stage and “took the whole atmosphere to another level. It is very difficult to make the two superstars dance together on the stage… Both of them were dancing on stage for almost an hour… Then Varun Dhawan, Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor did lot of fun on stage,” Mika said.

When asked whether Salmam should also marry now, Mika said: “I think Salman is an ultimate human being. He is really handsome and down to earth individual and when he sings, he looks really cute… I think he is the real King. Earlier, Kings used to have so many girlfriends… I don’t think he needs anyone.”

Talking about the challenges he faced while producing “Sama – The Summer Love”, Mika said: “Today’s generation like to listen new sound, music and voice. It’s already a hit and popular song. We had a meeting with Sa Re Ga Ma when we decided to recreate this song because original rights of the songs are with Sa Re Ga Ma.

Sama- The Summer Love is produced by Mika Singh’s Music and Sound and sung by US-based model and singer Madhu Valli. Sumit Bharadwaj has directed the music video. Madhu Valli, Aarti Khetarpal and Raika Khan has featured in the song along with Mika Singh.
