Tormund And The Hound Singing A Duet Is Just The Kind Of Bromance You Need In Life

Tormund Gianstbane and the Hound, aka Sandor Clegane, are the two most badass characters on ‘Game of Thrones’. Insane fighters, total beasts on the battlefield and with absolutely zero fucks to propriety and people, they are our total favourite.

In the 6th episode, the two had a rather curious conversation about Tormund’s crush, Brienne of Tarth. Tormund’s affections for her have never been subtle, as he goes on like a teenage boy high on testosterone.

Hound’s reaction to the lady in question is perfect when he asks Tormund, “You are with Brienne of fucking Tarth?!”

We were already rooting for Tormund and Hound to become best buds; what a crazy pair it would be. And then we saw this video of Tormund and the Hound singing a duet together. Just two big beefy guys being goofballs and singing ‘Yellow Bird’! This is the exact amount of crazy we needed before the finale.

Imagine all the crazy this duo would unleash on the very serious Jon Snow and Daenerys gang! They sure look like they need to chill a little.

A few days ago, we showed you how Kristofer Hivju, the actor who plays Tormund Gianstbane, looks without the beard, and we really thought Brienne would perhaps change her mind after looking at his clean-shaven pretty face!

Now if only Brienne would see this! This band of merry men can woo any woman with their serenading skills. 

This Theory About Jon Snow & The Ice Dragon Is So Badass We Desperately Want It To Come True

After the heartbreak from the 6th episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ which takes the life of Viserion, Dany’s beloved dragon, we are desperately wishing for a miracle. The dragon didn’t need to die so soon and we are totally blaming Jon and Daenerys. But if fan theories are to be trusted, there’s a silver lining in the clouds.

So ‘Beyond The Wall’ ends with the Night King transforming the dragon into one of his own, and the fiery red in Viserion’s eyes is replaced with an icy blue. The scene sent shivers down the spine as we mentally cursed Daenerys for flying to Jon’s rescue.

But the latest of fan theories suggests that the situation is not as bleak as it looks. If you recall the oft-quoted prophecy about the three-headed dragon that was interpreted to mean there would be three riders for each of Daenerys’ 3 dragons. Besides her, Tyrion and Jon Snow have been the only 2 other characters who have shown affinity for the dragons. But with Viserion’s death, the prophecy seems to stand incomplete.

This Theory About Jon Snow & The Ice Dragon Is So Badass We Desperately Want It To Come True

Not if you consider the fact that all the Stark children have an ability to warg into animals. Besides Bran, Arya and Jon have been shown to be able to have a telepathic connection with their respective direwolves, Nymeria and Ghost. It is believed that both Arya and Jon are capable of warging, just that they are not completely aware of it.

This Theory About Jon Snow & The Ice Dragon Is So Badass We Desperately Want It To Come True

And thus, Jon will be seen warging into Viserion and controlling the ice dragon even though it is the Night King who resurrected him. For that matter, even Bran could control the ice dragon if it comes to that.

That’s a legit thought. Jon does represent ice. Maybe the ice dragon was for him, after all.

it’s symbolic that viserion died and turned into the ice dragon because viserys wasn’t a dragon, but jon snow is and jon represents ice

Explains the sword opening its eyes then

Jon Snow was reborn when he emerged from the icy water like how dani did with fire so I believe that he’ll gain control of the ICE DRAGON

— sonia (@sxniagarcia) August 23, 2017

Dragons can smell Targaryen blood

Jon Snow will ride the ice dragon. How else did he survive that fall into the ice? Reminds me of Deanerys when she was set to fire.

If Daenerys is the fire queen, Jon Snow is the ice king. 

The Images From The Finale Of GOT S7 Are Here & We Can't Believe The Season Is Ending

 Celebrities
Aug 232017
 

The 6th episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ season 7 left us shaken in our seats. We still need therapy to get over the death of Daenerys’ dragon. While it was the silliest plan in the show so far, we think Jon Snow did end up with something after all. No, you pervs, we aren’t talking about Daenerys. We are talking about huge revelation that killing a White Walker will kill all the wights he created. That could be a game-changer now, couldn’t it?

The finale of season 7 is going to be one hell of an episode and the wait is messing with our minds. If the trailer was anything to go by, there is going to be at least one death in the next episode. We wonder what the title ‘The Dragon and the Wolf’ means, considering Dany (a dragon) and Jon (a wolf) are a thing now. It could also be only about Jon Snow, since he is both a dragon and a wolf – Targaryen and Stark. 

The images from the season finale are out and they be the last ones you are gonna speculate about this season. Have a look! 

Cersei looks menacing in that winter coat.

We are still not sure if she really is pregnant, as she claimed in front of Jaime. With Cersei, you never know.

Looks like Jaime is finally going to put his foot down and stop following her orders blindly. About time!

That is perhaps the first trace of emotion Bran has showed ever since he became the Three-Eyed Raven.

Time to welcome a dead man

As clueless as Theon looks, we too have no idea what he is still doing in the show. He had post trauma stress disorder, we get it and we understand. But as a character, he doesn’t fit in the plot anywhere. In GOT, people die for a lot less than that. He better have something to contribute in the finale.

This is the last episode and it’s gonna be the longest this season and we are waiting for it with bated breath. ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 airs in India on Star World and Star World HD every Tuesday at 11 PM. This is going to be epic, hopefully.

Jon Snow Learned A Secret That Could Defeat The White Walkers & All Was Not Lost Beyond The Wall

 Celebrities
Aug 222017
 

Jon Snow’s suicide mission in the 6th episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ season 7 wasn’t all a waste, thanks to this one little secret Jon Snow stumbled upon. It costs them dearly – the death of a beloved dragon. But all is not lost and there is a huge learning from the tragic mission – one that will eventually defeat the White Walkers. 

The White Walkers Can Be Defeated And Jon Snow Now Knows How

When Jon’s team comes across a group of Wights and White Walkers, Jon kills one White Walker and the others automatically disintegrate and fall dead. It is then that they realise that killing a White Walker will kill the Wights he created.

This piece of information holds the key to defeating the White Walkers. Armies from the seven kingdoms, armed with dragonglass weapons, can easily wipe out major portions of the White Walkers army by targeting the White Walkers who head groups of Wights.

Jon Snow might not have processed this information well enough yet, since getting out alive was his main concern then. But once they sit down to form a strategy, this secret will prove to be game-changing. Getting near the Night King will be difficult, since he now has an ice dragon (yeah, twist a dragonglass in our heart). So the next alternative is to systematically clean out the army of the dead.

After Sam’s genius discovery, we did think defeating the army of the dead was not THAT difficult. Dany’s dragon could have lived to fight another battle. 

Now that we have something to take away from the tragic battle beyond the wall, we feel a little less bad about Viserion, Daenerys’ beloved dragon who was killed by the Night King.

Fan Theory Says Ned Stark Is Alive And We Wish This Guy Had Written The Next GOT Episode

 Celebrities
Aug 202017
 

If you could bring back one character from ‘Game of Thrones’, who would it be? While Khal Drogo, Olenna and Hodor are the top contenders, Stark loyalists really miss Ned Stark, the late king in the North. His was the first major ‘Game of Thrones’ death that pulled the carpet from under us.

This Fan Theory Says Ned Stark's Alive Because Valar Not Morghulis

So according to the fan theory, Ned Stark was saved by the faceless men. It is believed that Jaqen H’ghar was a prisoner at Red Keep at the same time that Ned Stark was. Not a coincidence but a ploy by the wise old Varys. Now the Jaqen at Red Keep could both be the original Jaqen or a random man with a borrowed face paid to get captured alongside Ned Stark. We say ‘paid’ because it’s unlikely that THE Faceless Man Jaqen would so easily be captured, considering he helped Arya escape later without as much as batting an eyelid.

So the person who dies at the guillotine was not Ned Stark but someone with Ned Stark’s face. Like us, you’d be thinking a man has to die to exchange his face, and the theory  falls short here, but it is possible that the Faceless Men do have an exception to the rule, probably which is why they needed the very best – Jaqen H’ghar – to carry out the task.

This Fan Theory Says Ned Stark's Alive Because Valar Not Morghulis© HBO

Another alternative to the theory is that the person who died in place of Ned Stark was Syrio Forel, Arya’s Water Dancing teacher. The theory says that Syrio was actually a Faceless Man who didn’t die at the hands of Meryn Trant, but escaped only to end up in the Red Keep later. After all, if you don’t actually see a character dying in ‘Game of Thrones’, chances are he/she hasn’t actually been killed.

This Fan Theory Says Ned Stark's Alive Because Valar Not Morghulis © HBO

Fans also believe Syrio Forel and Jaqen H’ghar could be the same person, with different faces. Jaqen H’ghar tells Arya, “There is only one god. A girl knows his name.” while Syrio says, “There is only one god, and his name is Death.” Too big a coincidence?

Even if we believe the rescue theory, it doesn’t explain why Ned Stark hasn’t shown up yet. If he was saved in the first season, where was he all this while? The theory says he could be in hiding, serving the Faceless god who saved him. For all we know, he could turn up in the next season as a Faceless Man himself!

He might have been incredibly naïve and trusting, a quality that will get you definitely killed in the ‘Game of Thrones’ universe, but Ned Stark was THE king in the North. We’d love to watch him watch his kids kick some ass! And who knows, he might have learnt some tricks after his near-death experience. If Sansa can become worldy wise, so can her father. 

Valar NOT Morghulis!

He is a star, adored by millions of fans; he is Bollywood’s original khiladi; he is fit as a fiddle even at 50; and yet he takes out time to cook at home. Not just cook an ordinary meal, but make white chocolate mousse for his dinner guests. Akshay Kumar, you are setting the bar too high for us ordinary mortals. 

Twinkle Khanna shared a picture of her husband Akshay Kumar and son Aarav, making dessert for their guests.

Father and son busy making soufflé and layered white chocolate mousse for our dinner guests.I have trained my boys well 🙂 #dessertstory #sundayshenanigans

Akshay’s cooking skills are no surprise; the actor worked as a chef in Bangkok where he had gone for martial arts training. A man of many talents, he makes sure his children imbibe them too. He is known to have trained son Aarav with a strict fitness routine. His son has a black belt in Kudo, a Japanese martial art. 

Every day is a #FathersDay if you have a son like that 🙂 #MakingMemories ‬#blessed

One of the biggest Bollywood stars in the country right now, Akshay has time and again spoken up for what’s right. With the release of his latest film ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, Akshay bats for the need of toilets in villages. 

Now you could be the biggest star of the country but at the end of the day, you still have to cook for the missus! Perfect husband, perfect father, perfect khiladi.

Okay gotta go; have to start learning how to boil water.

Emraan Hashmi Makes The Most Honest Confession About Nepotism In Bollywood & We're Glad Someone Said It

 Celebrities
Aug 052017
 

Kangana Ranaut’s nepotism remark had hit a raw nerve among the who’s who of Bollywood. It’s an open secret in the film industry that hasn’t exactly been too kind to outsiders. Yet, the blue blood of Bollywood refused to let the remark go down with grace. What followed was outright denial, then petty ridicule (in the form of punny jokes at the IIFA awards) and later an open letter justifying nepotism as natural selection.

Just when we thought there was no one in the industry who would own up to it and call a spade a spade, actor Emraan Hashmi spoke up. The actor who is the nephew of Mahesh Bhatt, has always been forthright and honest in an industry where diplomacy is taken as a morning pill. We have always admired Emraan for his lack of pretence and his transparent interviews.

In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the actor confessed that nepotism exists in the industry and was the reason why he could get his first break in Bollywood, thanks to his uncle Mahesh Bhatt. “Yes, nepotism exists in our industry, and I got a break because of it. If my uncle, who is a producer and director hadn’t been there, I wouldn’t have been an actor.”

The actor had no qualms in accepting that having godfathers in the industry makes it a lot easier to penetrate the cold hard fabric of the close-knit industry, “I wouldn’t push my seven-year-old son, Ayaan, now into Bollywood. But tomorrow, if he wants to become an actor, it will be a lot easier for him because his father is an actor and producer.” 

And, of course, there’s a downside to it too and Emraan is well aware of that. “The industry will try to box my son into an image that his father had and completely snatch away his individuality. They won’t let him start afresh, like an outsider.”

Finally, someone who had the guts to face the truth and say it out loud, without being self-defensive or dismissive, and without jumping to justifications about how hard work is necessary too. It takes a person who is confident in his own skin to own up to something like that. Emraan is an immensely talented actor and has given us some real powerful roles. Grounded and brutally honest, that’s the Emraan we look up to, just like most of his roles.

Aamir Khan And Zaira Wasim Are On To Something Intense In The Trailer Of ‘Secret Superstar'

 Celebrities
Aug 022017
 

Aamir doesn’t attend award shows; the trailer of ‘Secret Superstar’ starts with him announcing an award. That’s our first hint this is going to be an interesting watch. His ‘Dangal’ co-star Zaira Wasim is seen as a 14-year-old singer struggling to make herself heard, fighting against a conservative father who dramatically rips apart her guitar, and her dreams.

Aamir is known to reinvent himself in every movie and this one looks like no exception. Seen as a worldly-wise music director Shakti Kumar, Aamir looks refreshingly different from the stern father in played in ‘Dangal’.

In a very ‘Taare Zameen Par’-like manner, Aamir tells Zaira to follow her dreams. Zaira makes a bold statement with her burqa and guitar as she becomes a YouTube sensation overnight. If the trailer is anything to go by, ‘Secret Superstar’ will be a great watch – with the adrenalin rush of small-town-girl-makes-it-big formula.

The movie is set for a Diwali release this year i.e. 19 October 2017. Watch the trailer below and tell us what you think!

 

If This Game Of Thrones Fan Theory About Jorah Is True Hell Be More Important Than Daenerys

 Celebrities
Jul 232017
 

The first episode of game of thrones triggered quite a few fan theories. While Sansa’s admiration of Cersei is quite obvious and it has been predicted that she might follow in her dark footsteps, there are some fan theories that really caught us off guard. But one of the best theories so far has been about Ser Jorah, whose glimpse we see in the first episode.

We all remember how Sam stumbles upon information about dragonglass in the book he steals from the library. A hawk-eyed Reddit user Beastmodekait  spotted a crucial hint on the page Sam is reading. Dragonglass is mentioned as having healing properties that can cure disease.

Fans also mentioned how Stannis’ daughter Shireen was also partially cured of the grey-scale disease and you’d remember they lived at Dragonstone too.

Once Jorah is healed, there is another fan theory for his adventures beyond. Reddit user redragebar predicted about Sam helping cure Jorah way before season 7 commenced. Once fully recovered, Jorah will set out for Valyria and help uncover the secrets of Valyrian steel.

If you’d recall, Jon Snow is able to kill a White Walker with his Valyrian sword, which means that besides, dragonglass, Valyrian steel can kill White Walkers.

Of course, the Sam and Jorah won’t meet for the first time directly in Valyria as the fan theory says. The makers of GOT had another location planned for the event.

So, it is actually Ser Jorah and Sam who will find a way to save the seven kingdoms from the White Walkers. Considering Daenerys is already in Dragonstone, it shouldn’t take them too long to discover the dragonstone mine.

Looks like Ser Jorah will have a much more important role in the coming episodes. We hope to see him in action, and not just as Danerys’ sidekick.
