Shah Rukh’s close friend and filmmaker Karan Johar has publicly shown his admiration towards the former’s kids and is often seen spending time with them. Recently, the maverick filmmaker, posted a photo of him pouting with AbRam, needless to say, the little lad won hearts here. His pout game is bang-on! He captioned the picture as, “When Abram pouts better than me! [sic]”This picture is now going viral on social media.”

Recently, a video of AbRam dancing cutely for brother Aryan Khan and sister Suhana Khan on the occasion of Children’s Day went viral online. He captioned it as, “A madly happily childly dance for Aryan and Suhana by lil AbRam on this day for children. (sic)” Not just that, on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan’s daughter Aaradhya’s birthday party, AbRam was under the impression that Amitabh Bachchan was the real father of his dad Shah Rukh Khan. Maybe, the child took ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ role, way too seriously and we aren’t complaining.

Aditya Chopra the only person I don't lie to: Karan Johar

Celebrities

Nov 212017

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has been in the industry for around two decades, says the only person he doesn’t lie to is filmmaker Aditya Chopra.

On audio and music streaming service Saavn’s audio show “Take 2 with Anupama and Rajeev”, Karan spoke at length about his career, his choices and the ups and downs of his life, read a statement.

Karan Johar

“Aditya Chopra and I have a really amazing bond when it comes to our opinions. We message and call each other when we love a film, when we don’t, then the silence is meant to be understood. We have this like unfailing protocol that exists between us,” Karan said.

“The moment I see a film of his and I have not liked it and he has done the same, there will be silence. There is complete silence. And if I love it, I will pick up the phone and he knows that and I know that.

“I actually get really excited when he calls me and so does he because we don’t talk to each other because we can’t lie. He is never going to lie to me and I am not going to lie to him because he will catch me in that moment and I don’t think Adi is capable of lying. We have that code of silence. Aditya Chopra is the only person I don’t lie to,” he added.

Karan, known for films like “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Student Of The Year” and “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, believes the industry has “organically honest people”, but then there are a “bunch of big liars”.

“There are a host of honest people. If you meet Farah Khan (filmmaker), she can’t lie to you. I don’t know if Farah Khan is capable of lying, so she doesn’t go inside the preview theatre only because like many a time, I know she has walked out and said things in a way that you can catch her.

“There are a few people who cannot be… I know Jaya aunty (Jaya Bachchan), for example, it’s scary to call her because she is going to be really honest,” said Karan.

“If you call her you got to be ready for it. So, she tells me, she says ‘Karan, I don’t want to see your films at screenings because I won’t be able to lie to you. If I don’t like it, I will tell (you) and I don’t want to upset you’. So, there are those who are also organically honest people and they can’t lie, but the rest of us, we are a bunch of big liars. I mean we are all lying through our teeth and to another level,” he added.

Karan Johar gets flak for 'nepotism' again after announcing 'Dhadak'

Celebrities

Nov 162017

Karan Johar is caught in the nepotism debate again and this time it isn’t Kangana Ranaut who is calling him out. Previously this year when Kangana Ranaut had appeared on an episode of his talk show ‘Koffee With Karan’ where she accused Karan of being the flag-bearer of nepotism in Bollywood. Karan Johar and his coterie made sure that they took jibes at Kangana’s nepotism remark at every opportunity they got.

Karan Johar

But this time, Kangana is nowhere in the picture and the filmmaker is still receiving flak for his apparent ‘nepotism’. Karan Johar took to Twitter to announce his film ‘Dhadak’ where he will be launching Sridevi’s daughter Jhanvi Kapoor opposite Ishaan Khattar, Shahid Kapoor’s half-brother. Ever since he announced it, social media has gone into a frenzy and have been calling out Karan Johar. He has been accused of signing only ‘children of stars or celebrities’. Check out some of the hilarious tweets that were directed towards KJo.

Karan Johar receives Nepotism remark on launching Jahnavi & Ishaan

Celebrities

Nov 162017

janhvi-ishaan-merge Regarded as the King of Nepotism – Karan Johar yesterday launched two star kids – Sridevi’s daughter Jahnavi Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan Khattar in Marathi film Sairat’s Hindi remake – Dhadak.

Dhadak touts with an urban setting and is a much lighter attempt as compared to the original is basically Karan’s idea for the film’s Hindi adaption. As Karan is popularly known for launching star kids, this time the filmmaker received Nepotism backlash from the audience after he made an official announcement of Jahnavi and Ishaan’s debut.

Targeting Karan with the arrow of Nepotism, some of the comments read:

null
null
null
null

The comments are shocking as the film’s trailer is yet to be unleashed – this points out the seriousness of hatred towards Nepotism among the audience. This could be a worry for Karan and the two stars as receiving such not so positive response for the posters are definitely not a good start for the film.

Anyway, we can be judgemental only on 6th July 2018 as this is when the film is scheduled to hit the silver screen. We wonder what Karan Johar has to say about these comments.

What do you guys think? Is it too early to judge the newcomers and do you agree with the trolls or do you have some other opinion? Tell us in the comment section below.

Karan Johar announces the launch of Jhanvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar in 'Dhadak'

Dharma head honcho Karan Johar will be launching Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughter Jhanvi Kapoor opposite, Ishaan Khattar, younger brother of Shahid Kapoor and son of Neelima Azim and Rajesh Khattar.

The debut of Jhanvi Kapoor, the elder daughter of actress Sridevi and filmmaker Boney Kapoor has been speculated for a long time. Jhanvi had been doing appearing at several social soirees and Bollywood parties, which prompted people to think that she would be making her debut soon. There were rumours that Karan Johar who launched Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra in Bollywood with his film ‘Student Of The Year’ was keen to mentor Jhanvi as well. There were rumours that she would star in ‘Student Of The Year 2’ as well, but Karan has made it official now that ‘Dhadak’ will be the launch vehicle of Jhanvi and Ishaan in Bollywood. The film will be helmed by Shashank Khaitan, director of ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ and ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’.

Karan Johar has even announced the release date of the film which is July 6, 2018.

Sridevi is like any other apprehensive parent as she awaits the commencement of her daughter’s acting debut. “But, the excitement overrules the nervousness,” the actor tells mid-day as Jhanvi’s Bollywood film, the Karan Johar production ‘Dhadak’, is set to kick-off next month. Sridevi admits that as a mother, she “can’t help but give her tips about everything – from how to dress to what she eats”. Yet, the actor wants her elder daughter to chart her own trajectory in the industry. “Children have their own mind. When it comes to her work, I don’t want to advise. She must cultivate her craft all by herself, make her own choices and chart her own path.”

In an industry that is quick to pit actors against each other, parallels are already being drawn between Kapoor junior and Saif Ali Khan’s daughter, Sara, also set to make her debut next year. Talking about the two aspiring artists, Sridevi says, “Competition can never be eliminated from this industry. There is nothing wrong with it. It keeps you on your toes, making you work harder. But, the biggest challenge lay in bettering your craft, and faring better than you did the last time.” Jhanvi already finds an aide in Khan, a friendship that doesn’t seem particularly peculiar to the veteran actor. “You don’t have to turn your face away from each other just because you are pitted against one another at work,” she says.

Javed Akhtar, Karan Johar support 'Padmavati' amid controversy

Celebrities

Nov 122017

Veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar and filmmaker Karan Johar have come out in support of Sanjay Leela Bhansali as he faces trouble ahead of the release of his magnum opus “Padmavati”, saying films are just a mode of expression and they should not be misinterpreted as history.

'Padmavati' receives support amidst controversy Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor in their upcoming movie “Padmavati”

Various groups, most of them from the Rajput community, have accused Bhansali of “distorting” historical facts in the film which features Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. During a session at Sahitya Aaj Tak, Akhtar was asked about the controversy surrounding the movie, and the lyricist said, “I was listening to a history professor on TV who said that there is a difference of 200-250 years between Khilji’s rule and the writing of ‘Padmavat’. There was no mention of Padmavati before Malik Muhammad Jayasi wrote the ‘Padmavat’.

“A lot of history has been written about that time. There are a lot of records available of that time but there is no mention of Padmavati in them.” Citing the example of Ashutosh Gowariker’s “Jodha Akbar”, Akhtar said as per the history Akbar never had a wife by the name of Jodha Bai and people should not confuse a work of fiction with history.

“Stories get created. Don’t misinterpret films for history and history for films. You watch cinema and enjoy it. If you are interested in history, then read it seriously,” he added. Johar, whose last directorial venture “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, featuring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Imran Abbas, had a hard time in getting a smooth release, was also present at the event.

The filmmaker said he respects Bhansali’s vision and the fact that his “beautiful film” is caught up in the controversy makes him feel bad. “I have faced a lot of controversies before the release of a film. I feel bad for a filmmaker, who is one of the best in the country. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has made a beautiful film and I hope he is protected by the people who understand that creativity is a form of expression.

“He has himself said that he has made a film which is true to the story and there is nothing in it that might hurt the sentiments and sensibilities of people. I think we should trust and believe him and give this film all the love,” Johar said. “Padmavati”, which is scheduled to release on December 1 has been facing a lot of trouble since early this year. Bhansali was assaulted by activists of a Rajput community group, Karni Sena, while shooting in Jaipur.

The group has been constantly seeking ban on the release of the film, which they claim is distorting the history. Yesterday, hundreds of people associated with various community organisations also took out a march in Thane demanding a ban on the film. Bhansali had earlier said that the film is his tribute to the “sacrifice, valour and honour” of Rani Padmavati. He has also said there is nothing in the film that will hurt anyone’s sentiments and sensibilities.

Karan Johar All Set To Bring Our Favourite 'SRK-Kajol' Duo Back & We Can't Keep Calm

Celebrities

Oct 222017

‘Kuch kuch hota hai Rahul, tum nahi samjhoge’, gives us goosebumps till today. The love, the passion, the aura that Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol create together is iconic. And what makes their on-screen chemistry even more special is Karan Johar’s touch, as the ace director filmmaker knows all the right spots to bring out the best from them on camera.

The earlier feud between Karan and Kajol broke many hearts; after all, they were besties. But the duo has patched up and we could not be happier. And if reports are to be believed, KJO and Kajol have even sealed a deal over a film. We are flying already!

SRK Kajol (c) Twitter

Talking to a leading daily, a source close to Dharma Production revealed that Kajol is definitely part of his next project. Not many know this, but since the start of his career, KJO made a promise to himself that she will be a part of all his films.

However, that pact was broken when ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ was released and sure we saw SRK, but no sign of our beloved Kajol. But now that all is well between the two, get ready to see Kajol in Karan’s next.

SRK and Kajol (c) Twitter

Adding more to our excitement is the fact that King Khan will be seen opposite Kajol, at least that’s what the director plans to do.

This film will also feature Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Here is hoping the movie hits us hard like the Titanic and brings back the 90’s feels!

Oct 182017

Diwali can only mean one thing – lots and lots of parties, and Bollywood has gone completely all out when it comes to that. Kickstarting the festival season, Ekta Kapoor threw a lavish Diwali party on Tuesday night which had all the biggest names in Bollywood and TV in attendance.

Everyone went all desi for this one, obviously, decked in full Indian attire, because as the saying goes ‘you should look like a pataka on Diwali, instead of bursting them’.

Alright, let’s dive right into all the pictures and get sad about the fact that we’ll never attend a party like this.

SRK Kickstarts Festivities With A Grand Diwali Party & We're Still Fiddling With Lights

Celebrities

Oct 152017

With Diwali knocking at our doorsteps, there’s just one thing that people have been stressing on, more than the festival itself and that is firecrackers. People are visibly divided between bursting crackers and supporting the ban by the Supreme Court. Now, while we are busy taking sides and arguing about it, our beloved celebrities have already started their celebrations and we are now ‘crackling’ with jealousy.

King Khan aka Shah Rukh Khan chose to play host for his friends at his residence ‘Mannat’. His best friend Farah Khan’s pictures gave us a glimpse of what can be called the most epic Diwali party of the year.

Having said that, now that we have seen these pictures and cried a little over our woebegone plans, let’s continue with our standard tradition: dream of awesome parties while gorging on the sweets we got as Diwali presents and watch our favourite shows and chill. (Some of us plan to hide under the bed due to the explosions outside!)
