Alia Bhatt has both baffled and amazed her fans with the fantastic trailer of her upcoming thriller ‘Raazi’, where she plays the role of a Kashmiri spy called Sehmat. The movie is actually inspired by a real-life story, which makes it all the more exciting.

However, she managed to play this role with conviction thanks to her intense dedication in order to get into the skin of the character.

While playing a glamorous role usually requires an actor to do nothing more than looking good and convincing on screen with some slick dance skills to boot, portraying a raw character like that of Sehmat requires a whole different kind of effort. And Alia has brought that with her in spades for ‘Raazi’.  

Playing a spy meant that Alia had to learn how to fight and skilfully disarm men in real life and also knowing how the Morse code works. This newly released behind-the-scenes video gives a glimpse of how she managed to nail this entire look and justify the script.

The actor even learned how to drive for the role, even though she has never driven in her life. The movie is the story of a Kashmiri woman who marries into a Pakistani family and spies for India. The movie also stars Soni Razdan and Vicky Kaushal and is going to hit screens on May 11th.

Few months ago, around the release of Akshay Kumar’s ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, his wife Twinkle Khanna aka Mrs. Funnybones’ tweet about a man defecating on the Juhu beach sparked a debate over the lack of toilets in the area.

Months later now, Mr. Kumar is doing the needful that a real life hero would do. According to a report in the Mumbai Mirror, he has joined hands with Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray to install toilets on the Juhu beach and is reportedly spending around 10 lakhs on it.

“The toilet has six seats, three each for men and women, and a separate row of urinals. “The toilets have bio-digester so there will be no stink. The toilets will bring a lot of relief to not just the local slum dwellers, but also to visitors,” said Prashant Gaikwa , Assistant Municipal Commissioner, K-West ward.

Akshay is a major supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ and while his movie on the same issue won him major accolades for the kind of awareness that it generated, this social move is a wonderful initiative the our real life ‘Khiladi’.

Bollywood’s poster couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have been toying with the hearts of every fan out there with the ‘will they marry’ and ‘when will they marry’ questions.

Looks like the ‘Wedding Of The Year’ competition for Anand Ahuja and Sonam Kapoor will now have a stiff competition with Deepika’s and Ranveer’s wedding. The rumors were rife ever since the couple came back from their Maldives trip and it is believed that Ranveer ‘s parents gave their nod to this alliance with a gorgeous saree and jewellery for Deepika.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the parents of the couple have decided on four dates between September and December. “It will be an extremely private, traditional Hindu ceremony with the couple tying the knot in the presence of only close friends and family. The couple is still deciding if they want a reception to follow”, the source was quoted. Needless to say, this is going to be the event of the year! 

Fame and success are something that most people crave to experience at some point in their lives, but what many don’t know is that they come at a price. While some celebrities in our B-town may have been born with a silver spoon and have debut movies gifted to them as birthday gifts, there are a few superstar stories which have humble beginnings. Yesteryear’s superstar, Jackie Shroff also has one such story. He grew up in a chawl and had a very humble upbringing before he made it big with Subhash Ghai’s ‘Hero’.

Recently, while dining with his close friends at a restaurant in Colaba, Jaggu dada took everyone down his very own memory lane when he decided to give them a tour of his ‘teen batti chawl’ in Walkeshwar.

A few students, who now live in that old house, requested Jackie Shroff to visit his old home and it ended up as one hell of a nostalgic trip for him.

You know what they say about home is where the heart is right? So it doesn’t matter if one lives in a palace or a ramshackle hut, because it’s those little things about your struggle which make you who you are.
