There is nothing more distressing and painful than losing your parent. When India lost its ‘Chandni’ on 24th February 2018, the members of Kapoor family lost more than just an actress. Boney Kapoor lost the love of his life, his partner, his friend and daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor lost their beloved mother.

The demise of Bollywood’s first female superstar still gives us goosebumps. It’s difficult to believe that the silver screen will never lighten up with her smile again.

Happy 21st Birthday to Janhvi Kapoor. Hope you get all the happiness in the world Girl. . . #bollywood #janhvikapoor #happybirthdayjanhvi

A post shared by Bollywood (@bollywood) on Mar 5, 2018 at 5:35pm PST

Today, the glamorous diva’s elder one Janhvi has turned 21 and one can just imagine that it’s not one of the bestest days. This year, she celebrated her birthday without her mother. Finally breaking her silence, few days ago, she took to her Instagram and shared a photo expressing her grief.

“On my birthday, the only thing I ask of all of you is that you love your parents. Cherish them and devote yourself to making them feel that love. They have made you. And I ask that you remember my mother fondly, pray for her soul to rest in peace.” wrote Janhvi Kapoor in a heartbreaking post. 

“Let the love and adulation you’ll showered on her continue and please know that the biggest part of my mother was the love she shared with papa. And their love is immortal because there was nothing like it in the whole world. Nothing as joyful and pure and no two people as devoted to one another as they were. Please respect that because it hurts to think anyone would ever try to tarnish it. Preserving the sanctity of what they had would mean the world not only to my mother but also to a man who’s entire being revolved around her, and her two children who are all that remains of their love. Me and Khushi have lost our mother but papa has lost his “Jaan”. She was so much more than just an actor or a mother or a wife. She was the ultimate and the best in all these roles. It mattered a great deal to her to give love and to get love. For people to be good and gracious and kind. She didn’t understand frustration or malice or jealousy. So let’s be that. Let’s be full of only good and give only love. That would make her happy, to know that even in death, she gave you all something. The courage and inspiration to fill yourselves with nothing but love and rid yourselves of bitterness in any way and form. That’s what she stood for. Dignity, strength and innocence.”

Well, though Sriji had different plans for her daughter’s birthday, Janhvi celebrated her birthday in the most unexpected way. She was seen cutting a few cakes and later spent her day at an old age home.

May all your wishes come true.. 💌🎂 @janhvikapoor

At this time of grief, the whole Kapoor family is seen supporting Janhvi and Khushi. We just wish Janhvi lights up the screen and rises to fame just like Sridevi did. 

Happy birthday, Janhvi!

Our childhood would never have been the same if it wasn’t for R. Chopra and Ravi Chopra’s ‘Mahabharat’. The show wasn’t just loved by our parents but also played a beautiful role in making our childhood memories.

Every 90’s kid’s life in a way revolved around this epic show. And how can one forget those special effects? I think one of the reasons we couldn’t miss even an episode were those effects that totally made it an incredible experience.

So, when this show came to an end, one can imagine what emotional trauma people went through. Well, those weren’t the days when you could just hit a replay button and binge-watch the entire series once again. Hence, the pain of seeing your favourite show go off-air was not an easy thing to deal with. For months along, people couldn’t get over Mahabharat’s hangover.

The end of the show wasn’t difficult just for us, but also for the entire cast and we totally get why. From tears to hugs, the goodbye was quite an emotional one after the last episode.

We just saw the video from the final cut and it has brought back all those wonderful memories, making us emo and happy both at the same time.

Of course, after watching it, emotional fans on Twitter went down memory lane and shared what it was to watch this show once upon a time.

Very emotional!! Just shows how much these actors got identified with the great personages they represented on the screen.

The death of India’s legendary superstar Sridevi left a vacuum that can never be filled in the time to come. While fans around the world are still trying to cope with this tragic reality, it is a heartbreaking moment for Sri’s husband Boney Kapoor and daughters Jhanvi and Khushi Kapoor.

What’s even more heart-rending is the fact that it’s Jhanvi’s first birthday without her mother. The beautiful lady turns 21 today and is on the cusp of making her debut in B-town.

A post shared by Sridevi Kapoor (@sridevi.kapoor) on Jan 28, 2017 at 10:00pm PST

Today is Jhanvi’s birthday and she finally broke her silence on her mother’s death, by sharing a post that will touch your soul and leave you shaking.

Taking to her Instagram she expressed her emotions and wrote, “On my birthday, the only thing I ask of all of you is that you love your parents. Cherish them and devote yourself to making them feel that love. They have made you. And I ask that you remember my mother fondly, pray for her soul to rest in peace. Let the love and adulation you’ll showered on her continue and please know that the biggest part of my mother was the love she shared with papa. And their love is immortal because there was nothing like it in the whole world. Nothing as joyful and pure and no two people as devoted to one another as they were. Please respect that, because it hurts to think anyone would ever try to tarnish it. Preserving the sanctity of what they had would mean the world not only to my mother but also to a man who’s entire being revolved around her, and her two children who are all that remains of their love. Me and Khushi have lost our mother but papa has lost his “Jaan”. She was so much more than just an actor or a mother or a wife. She was the ultimate and the best in all these roles. It mattered a great deal to her to give love and to get love. For people to be good and gracious and kind. She didn’t understand frustration or malice or jealousy. So let’s be that. Let’s be full of only good and give only love. That would make her happy, to know that even in death, she gave you all something. The courage and inspiration to fill yourselves with nothing but love and rid yourselves of bitterness in any way and form. That’s what she stood for. Dignity, strength, and innocence.”

Jhanvi’s post has moved tons of her fans and we truly respect her thoughts. One can see how she is concerned about her dad who has lost the love of his life and a friend. As she says, respect your parents and make them feel special, it’s needed. For we don’t know how long they will be with us.

We have lost our ‘Chandni’ and the screen will never light up again the way it did when she smiled. Sriji you will be missed forever!

In a strange turn of events, Charlie Chaplin’s movie Limelight, which was produced in 1952, won an Academy Award in 1972—20 years after its first release. According to the Academy’s rules at the time, a movie could not be considered for an Academy Award until it had played in Los Angeles. When Limelight finally played at a theater in Los Angeles in 1972, it became eligible for an award.

The Academy Likes To Hand Out Fake Oscars

Prior to the main night, rehearsals are organised where all the celebrities and nominees come in. They practice their lines, the awards are announced and an award is given. A set of dummy envelope is prepared to mention each nominee’s name. And as it’s a practice event, even dummy Oscars of plaster are made and given out.

Women Making History

While the Oscars is a lot of things, one thing it has always been accused of is having a lack of diversity- from gender to colour. In the history of 90 years, Greta Gerwig is only the fifth woman to be nominated for Best Director this year. The only woman to win an award in this category was Kathryn Bigelow for Hurtlocker in 2010. If Greta Gerwig wins this year, she will be the second woman to win an Oscars for Best Director.

And Rachel Morrison is the first woman ever to be nominated for cinematography. It would be interesting to see if they make the history this year.

Most of the first time winners always comment that they didn’t think the statuette would be so heavy. In all actuality, the Oscars statuette stands at 13 1/2 inches tall and weighs 8 1/2 pounds. It depicts a knight, holding a sword, standing on a reel of film which has five spokes, representing the 5 original branches of the Academy–actors, directors, producers, technicians, and writers.

Halle Berry was the first black woman to win an Oscars for Best Actress in 2002 for her movie, Monster’s Ball. It was an overwhelming moment for the entire community. However, till date she is the only woman of colour to win an Oscars in this category.

The Academy Awards Was Robbed…Like Literally

Not many know but in 2000 the Academy was actually robbed. It happened when two men stole crates which were filled with 55 Oscars statuettes. All but three of the trophies were recovered after the crates were found thrown in the trash box.

Time When Oscars Winners Were Announced In Advance

Initially, the Academy used to keep the names of the winners under a wrap. However, an exception was made for the newspapers, so they could publish the list out at 11 p.m. But things changed when in 1940 LA Times published the results in advance, giving out the spoilers. Since then the Academy has kept everything under the wrap and the content is kept a secret until the show goes live.

For all whose who look forward for the awards, the 90th Oscars will go live on March 5 at 5:30 AM and you can watch it on Star Movies in India. It would be interesting to see who takes the golden beauty home this year. Let us know who do you think should win and why.

Chris Hemsworth as ‘Thor’ literally made us fall in love with the God of Thunder. And now the actor is in talks to star in the ‘Men in Black’ spinoff. Well, we bet there is literally no one who didn’t enjoy Agent J and Agent K’s hilarious camaraderie and the chance of seeing a similar bond onscreen again after such a long time, is too good to be true.

The actor is in talks with the studio and if everything goes as planned, we will see director F Gary Gray helming this project.

As per media reports, the script is already in place by American screenwriting duo Matt Holloway and Art Marcum best known for writing the script of ‘Iron Man’.

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones’s on-point comic timing have entertained us in all the three installments, however, the sad news is that the iconic duo will not be seen in this movie. Which means this is a new franchise and we will be seeing new faces.

Originally, Sony Studios wanted to combine both ’21 Jump Street’ and ‘Men in Black’ franchises but later decided against it.  And now if everything goes well, we will soon be seeing Chris donning a black suit and saving the world.

Looks like the photographer wasn’t very pleased with Shahid posting the picture with the fake story that went viral for all the wrong reasons at all. However, Arjun did follow Shahid’s footsteps for a second time and took the picture down. 

Last February, Shahid Kapoor shared a picture of an intense Cheetah-deer hunt. The picture within no time went viral and later he was trolled for it. Reason? The picture apparently stated that the photographer went into depression after clicking it.

It’s been a year and now Arjun Rampal has posted the same picture on Instagram and as it is said, history repeats itself. The actor has posted the same story along with it.

“The photographer of this photograph went into depression after this shot. A mother deer and her two kids were being chased by cheetahs. Slowly she slowed down so that her kids could run away. The expression on her face is watching if the kids kept running and were safe. #mothers #love #pureemotions.” Arjun shared and as expected, he was pulled up for stating so.’

“Please be careful what you share. The photographer himself later declared that it wasn’t true” and “that’s a fake story, please don’t circulate such things without knowing the truth, a lot of people follow you”, were a few of the comments posted by the users.

Well, here’s the real story posted by the photographer herself. “The photo with the fake story has been shared hundreds of thousands of times on various social media. I am getting inundated by hundreds and hundreds of messages asking me whether I am the “depressed photographer.” I have been tagged in LinkedIn with the fake story – that’s going to do wonders for my career. What a vile world we live in, full of stupid gullible people spreading #fakestory like crazy.”

Looks like the photographer wasn’t very pleased with Shahid posting the picture with the fake story that went viral for all the wrong reasons. Now, while Shahid did pull down the picture eventually, we wonder if Arjun will do the same?

Virtual reality is certainly a fearsome thing to behold, and by now the entire planet is convinced that anything crazy can happen over the Internet. However, the web world is still a bit less complex and insane when we compare it to popular Netflix sci-fi series ‘Stranger Things’. Well, this show doesn’t need any introduction because everyone has been talking about it. With two seasons already out, this show has garnered quite a massive following.

The universe of ‘Stranger Things’ is beyond one’s imagination, but what if we could club this sci-fi world with our online world? Wouldn’t the results be pretty interesting?

While Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Eleven are having an interesting time in the 80’s, the team at Plusnet decided to get creative and re-imagined their world in the time of the Internet. 

And we’ve got to admit, the results are beyond hilarious.

Setting up a Dungeons and Dragons session would just have been so damn easy. Squad WhatsApp!

Definitely, Eleven would love Facebook and would even start a petition online against those lab experiments. I bet we all have a friend like her in our group.

Plus everyone will just know where she is…so everyone gets what they want. Life is EASY!

Searching for Barbara would definitely be easier and the range would be wider. Cheers to the power of Social Media.

A concerned Nancy would totally start an online movement on Twitter, or at least we can imagine her drunk tweeting.

TBH, Dustin would have a huge fan following on Snapchat. Ain’t he already looking so cute with that filter?

Dustin would just be all over the Internet, updating us about his life!

And Joyce would do everything to keep a tab on Will. Well, we don’t really blame her as Will has a habit to wander here and there and worry people.

Steve definitely would have been a social media influencer.

And finally finding an answer to what is a mind flayer, why this is happening and so many more questions, Google would have answered it all!

Agreed that this was fun. But somewhere we still feel that the reason why ‘Stranger Things’ works perfectly is that, at the time, people were more connected physically and life didn’t revolve around the Internet. Somehow, it reminds us of our golden childhood, when we loved exploring with our friends and playing board games.

However, do let us know that if ‘Stranger Things’ had Internet, how would your favourite character use the web and who would have the most followers?
