SRK-Suhana-Dilip-Kumar-lShah Rukh Khan recently visited Dilip Kumar to wish the legend good health. Wife Saira Banu took to Twitter to share photos from the evening. She wrote, “Sahab’s mooh-bola beta visited him. Sahab’s doing much better since return from the hospital.” King Khan was accompanied by daughter Suhana. He spent considerable time with the thespian and kissed him on his forehead while leaving. However, in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Saira Banu has said how SRK’s contemporaries, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan are more accessible than him.

She says that Aamir Khan is always just a call away in case of an emergency or even a request from some member of the family to a meeting. “He goes out of his way to comply with such requests and is constantly in touch. So is family friend Salim Khan and his son Salman. They often drop by, on festivals and occasions like saab’s birthday. Shah Rukh was the one who was difficult to reach over the last two-three years. When I pointed this out to him, he admitted that he has been out of the country on shoots a lot but promised to be more connected now. Saab’s taught me that it’s important to be accessible to senior actors when they are old and ailing,” says Saira, recalling visits with Dilip saab to Raj Kapoor, Om Prakash and Ashok Kumar when they were unwell. “These youngsters are good boys, God bless them.

Veteran actor Dilip Kumar was last seen in the film ‘Qila’ which released in 1998.

There are some films which become blockbusters and then there are movies like ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ which attain cult status and become a landmark that will be difficult for anyone to reach anytime soon. Today, our beloved movie, which redefined friendship, romance and bromance for this generation, completed 16 years and even today it feels like it was only yesterday that Aakash, Sameer and Siddharth walked into our lives. Like any proud father, actor and director Farhan Akhtar too couldn’t hold back his emotions and took to Twitter to share his happiness and joy. 

#DilChahtaHai turns a sweet 16 today. Thankful for the love you continue to show it. Ya toh aapka lagav gehra hai, ya film 3D thi.. big hug

— Farhan Akhtar (@FarOutAkhtar) August 10, 2017

We are not exaggerating at all when we say that no matter how many movies come and pass, ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, a coming-of-age film always melts our hearts and wells up our eyes and is here to stay forever. The struggles of dating, falling in love with an older woman and the ups and downs in a friendship, were perfectly captured in the movie and we don’t think there’s anyone else who can portray this camaraderie as well as Akshay Khanna, Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan. While, people still anticipate a sequel to this movie, wondering if it will be as good as the original one, we are still tripping over nostalgia.

So, folks to refresh your memory, here are some of the iconic dialogues from the movie that bring a smile on our faces even today. 

You and your best friend still use this dialogue as an inside joke. 

“Ya to dosti gehri hai, ya to yeh photo 3D hai.”

Raise your hands if you still abide by these words religiously.

“Hum cake ke liye kahin b ja sakte hai.”

When Akash cracked the lamest of the jokes in front of Shalini and still managed to win our hearts. 

“Kitni ajeeb baat hai…hum teeno Sydney ja rahe hai. Tum, mai aur yeh flight!”

When Sid drew a boundary in friendship and we cried a bucket over it. We are sure even you must have used this dialogue on your friends to win any situation. 

“Har dosti mein ek hadd hoti hai jo nahi paar karni chahiye.”

The best pick up line ever.

“Yeh sach hai ki main aapse pyaar karta hoon and I am not sorry for that.”

And this…

“Pyaar soch samajh kar thodi kiya jaata hai, bas ho jaata hai.”

And the winner is…

“Mujhe yakeen hai ki main sirf isliye janma hun ki tumse pyaar kar sakun, tum sirf isliye ki ek din meri ban jao.”

This one line basically sums up our friends’ lives in a nutshell when it comes to dating.

“Iska koli bharosa nahi…Aaj Pooja, kal koi dooja.”

We guess Aamir Khan still abides by this statement.

“Perfection ko improve karna muskil hota hai.”

This movie gave us a life lesson like no one else. 

“Is ret ko jitna apne haath mein bandh karne ki koshish kare, yeh utni hi haath se nikal jaati hai.”

A Yash Raj birdie chirps to say that producer Aditya Chopra was apparently not impressed with the rushes of Vijay Krishna Acharya’s Thugs Of Hindostan, which was recently shot in Malta.

He is keen that certain portions of the Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh-starrer be reshot. It is said that a set is being recreated at YRF for the reshoot. But then it’s just a rumour.

aamir-srkAfter Aamir Khan tweeted about the success of Shah Rukh Khan‘s Jab Harry Met Sejal and congratulated him along with Anushka Sharma and Imtiaz Ali, it was Shah Rukh Khan’s turn to return the favour. The superstar replied to one of the tweets of Aamir Khan, where he had shared the trailer of his new film, Secret Superstar, and wrote, “This so much yaar. & as I mentioned ur trailer Secret Superstar is sooo endearing. Let me know when u can watch JHMS”

If you are confused by the tweet then let me decipher it for you. The first part of the tweet is for Aamir Khan’s other tweet where he said this, “Shahrukh, Anushka, Imitiaz, all the very best for your release tomorrow! I’m sure it will rock!! Looking forward !!! Love. a.” And then Shah Rukh went on to praise the trailer of Aamir’s upcoming film and called it endearing. He later asked Aamir when he would be free to watch Jab Harry Met Sejal.

We often see the bromance of Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, it is very rare that we see Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan sharing their affection for each other. This is one such moment. Let’s just hope the duo, who has never shared screen space apart from a cameo in Pehla Nasha, sign a film soon with full-fledged roles for each. That film will be a sure shot blockbuster.

Actor Aamir Khan is a man of his word. If he says something, he makes sure that he does it as well. Just a few days ago, he took Twitter and talked about the Gujarat and Assam flood.

While everyone is just busy talking about the people who are suffering, Aamir Khan has taken a step forward and donated 25 lakh to the Assam government, proving that he is indeed a responsible citizen. 

We got to know about Aamir’s good dead when Chief Minister tweeted out thanking the actor and wrote, “Thank you @aamir_khan for contributing Rs 25 Lakh towards Assam Chief Minister’s Relief Fund through Aamir Khan Productions Pvt. Ltd.”

As per the statistics by the State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), approximately 5,000 people have been affected by this disaster in Jorhat and Lakhimpur district. And around 366 people are living in the relief camps.

Even in past many actors like Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Rajinikanth, Shatrughan Sinha, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and others have volunteered towards the rehabilitation of the flood-affected victims.

For people who are still just thinking about how to help, let us tell you the floods have not just killed over 90 people but there are many who don’t even have a roof over their heads. Maybe this is reason to reach out to our people in whatever small way possible!

The socially-responsible Aamir Khan has posted a video on Twitter, urging people to support those affected in the Gujarat and Assam floods. The actor said, “Lots of lives have been lost and there has been a huge financial loss too. We are helpless in front of nature, but we can help those staying there. Please contribute to the CM’s relief fund. I am also going to contribute. Please support me.”

The video has the actor in the Thugs of Hindostan look with earrings and a nose stud. He also appears to have lost oodles of weight for his character.

Rajkumar-santoshiOne sequel that has been waited patiently is that of Rajkumar Santoshi’s 1994 cult classic – ‘Andaz Apna Apna’. And recently the director confirmed that the sequel to this classic comedy is in offing, however it wouldn’t star Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, who played the central characters – Amar and Prem – in the film.

Talking about his plans for about taking this comedy franchise forward, Santoshi revealed to a daily, “I want to make a worthy successor. What other filmmakers do is en-cash on a successful film’s title, whether there is a story or not. I can’t cheat people with the title. The day I’m satisfied with the subject being the worthy successor, I will get on the floor with the movie.”

Regarding the casting, the director said, “It’s very difficult (to cast Salman and Aamir). For humour, you need innocence. That time, these actors had the innocence. Now, it will look forced. It looks cute if a 20-year-old is chasing a girl. A 45-50-year-old man chasing young girls looks vulgar.”

He further added that he might look at casting younger actors, “There is Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Varun Dhawan… They are all promising actors and they have the knack for comedy. I will pick up good talent for the film.”

We can’t imagine ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ sequel without these two Khans, can you?

“Yeh Rat Aur Yeh Duri, Tera Milana Hai Jaruri…..Kee Dil Mera…..Kee Dil Mera Dhak Dhak Dole, Diwana Liye Jayey Hichakole,” is there anyone who doesn't remember these lyrics? Anyone? Well, if you haven't….you have seriously missed something really big in your life.

It's common knowledge that this popular sing is from 90s classic 'Andaz Apna Apna'. It is one of those rare films which also starred Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Shakti Kapoor and Mehmood that tanked at the box office but later got the status of a cult film. Well, we couldn't agree more, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan's camaraderie was so perfect, that you watch this film once and you can never get over it.

'Andaz Apna Apna' Sequel Won't Be The Same Without Aamir & Salman

This film will always hold a special place in our hearts because of its cracking humour. Lately, there are reports going around about the sequel of the film and we all know that anyone who has seen this film would love to see the original cast taking the franchise forward.

Wouldn't you agree that recreating this film with the new cast would be an ultimate sin? Looks like the people in 1994 were far more intelligent to realise the importance of what that cast gave us than the maker himself.

A recent report in DNA claims that Rajkumar Santoshi has given a heads up for the sequel but neither of the Khans will be seen in the film. And the news itself breaks our heart into million pieces. Like how…..how on Earth could he even say so?

“For humor, you need innocence. That time, these actors had the innocence. Now, it will look forced. It looks cute if a 20-year-old is chasing a girl. A 45-50-year-old man chasing young girls looks vulgar,” said the maker in the report.

He also hinted that young actors will be seen in the film. “There is Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Varun Dhawan… They are all promising actors and they have the knack for comedy. I will pick up good talent for the film.”

Well….well….well….we believe either the film should have Salman and Aamir or shouldn't be made at all!

deepikapadukoneActress Deepika Padukone says she is honoured to be a part of the Academy of Motion Picture of Arts & Sciences for its “Class of 2017”.
“Honoured to be a new Academy member. Class of 2017,” Deepika tweeted on Wednesday.

Deepika made her debut in Hollywood with “xXx: Return of Xander Cage” earlier this year.

Last month, the Academy invited a record 744 members from 57 countries to its governing body, surpassing the 683 invitations issued in 2016.

Indian actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Aamir Khan and Priyanka Chopra were also mentioned in the list.

The Academy was under pressure to diversify its membership for several years, the criticism reaching a crescendo in 2015, when all 20 acting nominees were white, starting the #OscarsSoWhite controversy. The Academy is doing damage control since then.
