After months of speculations and debates, Superstar Rajinikanth has finally made the much-awaited declaration that he will be entering politics. “I will come into politics, I will do my duty,” said Thalaiva and that statement was enough to create a thrill across the nation on a Sunday.

His followers have been wishing and praying for this day and finally, it has come! He could not have given a better New Year present to his admirers.

 Now isn’t that a pretty powerful and interesting turn in the nations’ political scenario? Let us know what you think!

 

 

The decades of speculations and guessing has finally come to an end. Superstar Rajnikanth is all set to enter politics and the fans can’t keep calm. Worshipped by many, he made an official announcement today that took the whole nation by storm.

Dressed in a plain white kurta and pants, the superstar took the stage at the Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam in Chennai’s T Nagar and all one could hear was the crowd cheering, “Thalaiva…Thalaiva”.

And finally, everything came to a standstill in Tamil Nadu, when he declared, “My entry into politics is certain.”

(c) Twitter

Well, if you know the range of this demigod….one doesn’t need to tell you how he is loved and admired by the masses. “I will form my own political party and contest from all 234 seats in the next Assembly Election,” Rajnikanth said.

What attracted everyone was not just the man standing in front of lakhs of his fans but it was his vision that gave his followers a new hope.

“Devoid of caste, a spiritual governance, spiritual politics, honesty, and transparency. That’s my goal. I cannot do this on my own, this is like taking the pearl from the sea, God’s grace, people’s love, respect and cooperation and support, all these are needed to achieve this. I fully believe I will get God’s grace and people’s support.”

Now that’s Thalaiva talking!

“If I was hungry for power, I would have entered politics in 1996”, said Rajinikanth. 

(c) Twitter

He clearly said that he was entering politics, not for money or power but just to serve people. He also termed his entry as the compulsion of time. The actor is known for his good deeds and now seeing him on the political hot seat will be interesting.

Rejoice Tamil Nadu, the ultimate Boss is here!

Read the full text of his speech:

“I am not worried about coming to politics, I am worried about the media. 

Even big shots see the media and get scared, and I am a small person.

I miss Cho, if he was near me now, it would have been like having 10 elephants with me.

Karmanye Vaadhika-raste, Maa Phaleshu Kadachana – Do what you have to do, and the results will follow, the Bhagavad Gita has said.

My entry into politics is certain. Naa Arasiyalku Varuvadhu Urudhi.

This is the compulsion of the times.

I will contest the state assembly polls in all the 234 constituencies in the upcoming polls. 

I am not entering politics for money or fame. If I wanted power, I could have done it in 1996. But I did not want it then. When I was 45 I did not want it, would I want it now? I would be a fool if I did.

As a spiritual person I say, politics has become rotten. Democracy has worsened.

I know this is not easy, it is like diving into the deep seas for pearls.

I have the blessings of God and support of people, I have that confidence.

People are being looted by politicians now. They come to power and they cheat people in several ways. 

The party worker is the most important part of any party. But I don’t want party workers, I want protectors. I want protectors who ensure that no one acts out of selfishness. I want protectors who ensure that no one acts out of selfishness. I want protectors who hold leaders accountable. I am the representative of a group of protectors.

Every corner of state should have our office that is our first task. Till then, do not talk politics, including me. Don’t talk about other politicians, don’t protest.

Truth, hard work and success is our temple.

Our Army will be there in the upcoming state assembly elections.

Long Live Tamil Nadu

Jai Hind.”

 

 

This has been one hell of a year for Rajkummar Rao. The man has literally ruled the box office with his amazing performances, proving that you don’t always need a huge banner or star to make it big in the industry.

After being ‘Trapped’ in a flat, he decided to claim his love in ‘Behen Hogi Teri’, moving on to playing a twisted character in ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ and stealing the limelight right away from Ayushmann Khurrana and Kriti Sanon. But that wasn’t it, then came ‘Newton’, ‘Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana’ and Bose. Well Rao has gained thousands of fans this year and is enjoying this success to the fullest.

Now taking some time off, the actor is in vacay mode with his lady love Patralekhaa Mishra Paul giving us major love and relationship goals.

Despite ups and downs, the two have been around each other. If this isn’t the perfect example of lovebirds giving us relationship goals, then I wonder what is!

On the work front, 2018 already looks like a promising year for both Rajkummar and Patralekhaa and we can’t wait to see them together on screen soon!  

Nothing makes us happier than spending time with friends and family during the holidays. We wish vacation time came more often and made our lives easier and less tiresome. While some are lucky enough to have a gala time with their families, there are some of us who just can’t (damn those last-minute work calls!). Ask a journalist, a cop, a soldier, a helper to name few……we can be called on-duty anywhere anytime. That’s life for us.

But come on! Let’s not get grumpy. With an entire line-up of web series you can always enjoy the festive feeling no matter with who you are. With family, friends or just alone, have a jolly time watching some of the best Holiday-themed episodes that will make you feel right at home all warm and cozy.

1.   F.R.I.E.N.D.S (Seaon 4, Episode 10)

(c) Twitter

The 6 FRIENDS from NYC have been cracking people up generation after generation. This is also where the ULTIMATE “Went to the store sat on Santa’s lap” song sung by Phoebe at the Central Perk was composed and sang. Classic stuff man!  PS: Please tell Joey, Christmas will be snowy!

2. How I Met Your Mother (Season 2, Episode 11)

(c) CBS

This show was all about Ted narrating his kids the tale of how he met his wife and their mother. But it’s the Christmas episode that tops the list. Remember when Ted called Lily the B word and she almost cancelled Christmas in a fit of rage? Oh, also the time when Ted set up fairy lights that danced to the tune of AC/DC to wish a sad Robin a Merry Christmas? “Ohh I’m on a highway to hell!”  You don’t wanna miss this one.

3. This Is Us (Season 1, Episode 10)

(c) NBC

If you’re up for an emotional joyride, this is your go-to! A family that lives together, sticks together celebrates Christmas together and this is a case of just that. Nothing bad ever happens on Christmas Eve remember? A beautiful episode that managed to bring that warm smile across our lips. You know you’re doing it right if this is your pick! 

4. Black Mirror (Season 2, Episode 4)

(c) Netflix

Ah! Who would have thought Black Mirror would slot in a Christmas special? Meet Matt, and Joe, men stationed at a remote outpost in the snowy wilderness. Swapping life stories, and how they ended up where they are, these two men are trying to make the best of the festive day. A bit different from your everyday festive story, but nonetheless riveting.

5. The Big Bang Theory (Season 3, Episode 18)

(c) CBS

Nerdy Christmas anyone?  If you’re the Sheldon Cooper of the gang, then you will keep adding a tad bit of science, engineers and nerdy board games to your celebration. The Christmas episode from the show involves Sheldon freezing and incapacitating one of his competitors and another where he gives Penny a rare ‘Sheldon Cooper’ hug, in return for the Leonard Nimoy ‘DNA’ she gave him as a present.

6. Mad Men (Season 5, Episode 10)

(c) AMC

The wishes you make on Christmas indeed have the power to come true. Harry helps out a friend in need. Don and Joan find common ground over drinks, and post drinks; Don finds a renewed interest in bagging the coveted deal. The spirit of Christmas sure is floating around here. 

7. Modern Family (Season 7, Episode 11)

(c) ABC

Here’s a show that has ‘Silent Night’ played in almost every one of its holiday episodes. One that had people getting cross with each other and then reuniting as they understand the true meaning of the occasion. Lily found a new love. Cam and Mitchell zero’ed in on a new hate. And the rest of the family simply took in the vibe of the last day of the year! So what are you waiting for?

8. Stranger Things (Season 1, Episode 8)

(c) Netflix

This series might be all about the thrill, but it just has to be on this list. What is Christmas if not the season of joy and hope? After a long search for her child, Joyce is finally reunited with Will. The Dungeons and Dragons are out again, and best of all, Steve’s chilling out at the Wheelers. Wear you adorably silly Christmas sweater and watch this one. 

9. Orange Is The New Black (Season 1, Episode 13)

(c) Netflix

The best way to end a season on a high note is to close it with a banging storyline. And add to it some festivities; you have a stellar drop of the curtains. A pageant at Litchfield Penitentiary, a song by Poussey, and Piper and Tiffany’s bloody brawl – merry day indeed!

10. The BoJack Horseman Christmas Special (Season 1, Episode 12)

(c) Netflix

It is rare for a show to provide you a glimpse of a show within a show, let alone a full episode. Going on a road less taken, in this one-off episode, Todd and BoJack sit down together on Christmas to watch an old episode of Horsin’ Around – the very show that made BoJack famous.

 11. Sherlock (Season 4 Episode 1)

(c) BBC

‘The Abominable Bride’ – not so much a Christmas special as it was a Christmas gift from the creators of Sherlock to the fans across the world. Set in the 1890’s, Sherlock and a moustached Watson solve cases across town.

12. Will and Grace (Season 1, Episode 7)

(c) NBC

And finally a classic.

Presenting to you a chip of the old block. Will and Grace has been responsible for the after hour wonder show slot that got all the older people of the house laughing till it’s time to sleep. Remember when Grace broke into ‘Have yourself a merry lil Christmas’ right in the middle of the snow. Well, it’s time to relive that again.

And hey! Have yourself a merry little Christmas yourself!

P.S. Don’t forget to order lots of food as it’s totally ok to gain those few pounds this season!
