As per Forbes, both Hollywood and Bollywood male actors earn a lot more than their female counterparts and the box office receipts show us why. Taking about the Hollywood list, the magazine said, “The top 10 actors banked a cumulative $488.5 million – nearly three times the $172.5 million combined total of the 10 top-earning women. While only three actresses made more than $20 million in 12 months, 16 actors broached the mark.”

And the same pattern can be seen in B-town as well. To be precise, Deepika Padukone earns about 30% of SRK’s total pay. It goes without saying that we are proud of both PeeCee and Deeps and everyone who made it to the list!

OMG! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had agreed to work with Salman Khan on this one conditionSalman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had reportedly agreed to work with her ex-boyfriend and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’ which now stars Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali apparently wrote ‘Padmavati’ script keeping Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in mind. But just like ‘Bajirao Mastani’, he couldn’t make it work as the two had an ugly break-up.

Now, according to Rajeev Masand’s column in Open Magazine, SLB had approached Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Salman Khan for ‘Padmavati’ after they parted ways. According to the report, Aishwarya had almost agreed to work with Salman, but on one condition.

The twist was she was ready to work with Salman Khan only if he played the role of Alauddin Khilji, the antagonist in the film. This way, they wouldn’t share any scenes together.

The report stated that Salman Khan refused to agree to this condition. Salman Khan was interested to recreate the magic of ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. But he wasn’t keen on doing ‘Padmavati‘ without having any scene with Ash.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has now cast Deepika Padukone as Padmavati, her rumoured boyfriend Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji and Shahid Kapoor as Deepika’s husband Raja Rawal Ratan Singh.

‘Padmavati’ is slated to release on November 11 this year.

Karan Oberoi: I am ok with any Bollywood actress other than Deepika Padukone to tie rakhi to me as long as they look at me as a brother and they resonate with brotherly affection for me. Deepika, I have a huge crush on. So anybody other than her is OK.

Shashank Vyas: I would not mind Tabu tying me a rakhi because she seems strict and she resembles my sister.

Lavanya Bharadwaj: I don’t want any Bollywood actor to tie a rakhi to me. I respect everybody but I already have seven cousin sisters and one real sister. So my hands are full, let’s see may be in future if I’ll have that kind of bonding with someone.

Mrunal Jain and Kajol

Mrunal Jain: I would not mind having a sister like Kajol, who is always bubbly and happy and her presence makes the room light up with joy.

Shakti Arora: I think Tabu because she has that sister-like-feel. Whenever I see her films, it reminds me of my elder sister. I don’t want to choose anyone from the younger lot as I want to work with them and this might kill the chemistry.

Arjun Bijlani and Kareena Kapoor Khan

Arjun Bijlani:Kareena Kapoor because my cousin sister looks quite a lot like her.

Ssharaad Malhotra: Preity Zinta because she could make a good elder sister who is sweet, naughty and at the same time caring and understanding.

Though ‘Padmavati’ is on the brink of completion, buzz from the production house is that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has requested investors to delay the film’s release by six months.

It is being said that the Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor-starrer has been shot in a hurry because of which the edit will be a long, strenuous one.

The producers are adamant that the film releases on November 17 as scheduled. As it is an expensive film, a long wait will entail extra expenditure making it difficult for the project to recover cost. Now if only Bhansali relents.

Shahid KapoorShahid Kapoor

His upcoming period-drama “Padmavati” may have been mired in controversies, but actor Shahid Kapoor said the film did not have anything objectionable and was made with “good” intention.

The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed period drama faced the ire of certain groups, who attacked the filmmaker and also damaged the film’s set, alleging distortion of history over the depiction of queen Padmavati.

When asked if certain scenes have been changed post that, Shahid told reporters, “According to me, I have not shot any scene which has been changed. I think there were a lot of presumptions about the film, and people were presuming there were (certain) things in the film. “The clarification has been given that those things are not in the film. I hope when people see the film, they realise that the heart of the film and intent of the film is very good.”

“Padmavati”, which stars Deepika Padukone in the titular role, Shahid as Rawal Ratan Singh and Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji, is scheduled to release this year on November 17.

“This country and the people who live in it, and specially the area we are talking about in the film, will be glorified and shown beautifully. I play a Rajput king and my character, I feel, will be admired by people,” Shahid said on the sidelines of Big Zee Entertainment Awards, last evening.

“Padmavati” marks the first collaboration between the “Haider” star and Bhansali, and Shahid said he was thrilled to work with the director. “It’s an intense, romantic and a very looked-forward-to film for various reasons. I think it’s a labour of love of Bhansali. I had gone mad on Twitter after watching his last film (‘Bajirao Mastani’), appreciating everyone, and didn’t know I’d be part of his next film.

“It’s awesome to be working with someone whose work I have admired and loved, especially in the recent past. It is a great cast and going to be a huge film. I am really excited, but I want to underplay it, so I am trying to do that right now.”

However, recently there have been rumours that these two have parted ways and the news broke many hearts. However, it looks like just like these were just rumours and we are incredibly happy about it.

Ranveer Singh Confesses That Deepika Padukone Is The Best Kisser Ever

Recently, heartthrob Ranveer appeared on Neha Dhupia's popular show #NoFilterNeha and gave up the goose. Clearly, celebrities spill a lot of things on that show and the actor revealed some details about his girl Deepika Padukone.

Apparently, he was asked who according to him is the best kisser in Bollywood. And here's what the he said, “I think Deepika is the best kisser. Have you seen that song, ‘Ang Laga De' from ‘Ram Leela'?”

Ranveer Singh Confesses That Deepika Padukone Is The Best Kisser Ever

On the work front, the two are shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's dream project ‘Padmavati', where Deepika will be seen playing the titular role while Ranveer will be seen as Alauddin Khilji.

ranveer_deepikaThough Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone never made it official, their actions speaks volumes about their relationship.

Ranveer, recently appeared on Neha Dhupia’s talk-show and made a revelation about his rumoured better-half Deepika.

The actor went on record to say that Deepika is the best kisser.

The lover boy said, “I think Deepika Padukone is the best kisser. Have you seen that ‘Ang laga de re, mujhe rang laga de re’ (song from Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram Leela)?”

Well, there’s no denying to it that Ranveer and Deepika share an electrifying chemistry, which was pretty evident in that song.

In Bollywood, Deepika was last seen in ‘Bajirao Mastani’ (2015) with Ranveer Singh, and the duo is now working on ‘Padmavati,’ which also stars Shahid Kapoor. The film will see Deepika as Rani Padmini, Shahid as Raja Rawal Ratan Singh and Ranveer as antagonist Alauddin Khilji.

Meanwhile, according to a leading daily, Ranveer and Deepika have called it quits and Singh is already dating another girl. A source stated, “Ranveer and Deepika have been together for five years. They are no longer a couple. There was no bitter parting. They just drifted apart. They both tried to make it work with the help of their supportive families who wanted to ensure that the relationship made it to the altar. That was one of the problems with the relationship. Ranveer wanted a marriage. Deepika completely opposed the idea, arguing that marriage would affect her career at its prime.”

Deepika’s Hollywood career apparently has bridged the distance between them, which is being cited as one of the major reasons of their break-up.

The source further added, “Even when they were shooting in separate continents, he would fly down to be with her whenever possible. He gave Deepika lots of space and never allowed any suspicion to creep in even when rumours of a relationship with Vin Diesel reached his ears.”
