Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has collaborated with Mumbai-based stand-up comedy group All India Bakchod (AIB), which is known for taking up on the social issues in a hilarious way, for a new video.

When an actress of Kangana’s calibre allies with AIB, one can expect a hilarious, uncut and unadulterated ride on the topic chosen.

Their association is for a promotional video song for Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film ‘Simran‘, helmed by director Hansal Mehta, which releases on September 15.

The parody video has finally been released, and we bet you’ll start rolling over the floors while watching the video, directed by AIB‘s Tanmay Bhat.

In the song, Kangana Ranaut takes a jibe on Bollywood’s obsession with sexual objectification of its actresses.

The unabashed video is also a takedown on nepotism and the actress’ involvement only being limited to titillating the audience and banking on its integral prurience.

Who says mommies-to-be play it safe? Sunidhi Chauhan, in the news recently for expecting her first child, delivers a power-packed number at a concert held in Mumbai on Saturday.

Sunidhi Chauhan is excited as well as nervous about embracing motherhood and describes it as a most magical experience. The singer says she will not keep her career on the back-burner after delivering the baby, but will try to balance both worlds with utmost care.

“I am excited and nervous like any other girl. I hope everything goes well,” she said.

Sunidhi got married to music composer Hitesh Sonik in 2012, and the news of her pregnancy came out in August. The singer says she has not planned her move, but is sure that she will not abandon her “first and last love” — singing.

“I am thankful to all the amazing wishes coming my way for me and my baby. I am super excited. This is something that I am experiencing for the first time. I am thankful to God for that because, now that I am in this state, I have realised that it is the most beautiful thing, the most magical thing on earth,” Sunidhi told IANS in a recorded response from Mumbai.

“To be able to give birth to a new life is definitely the most amazing phenomenon. Yes, I get tired too quickly nowadays, but I am loving the conversations that I am having with my friends because this is all I talk about all the time, trying to know more about motherhood and babies, preparing myself, conditioning myself for the day when I will see my (my baby) in my hands and taking care of it,” she added.

After delivery, the singer, who started singing for films when she was 11, will go with the flow.

“I have never planned many things in my life. I have always gone with my instinct and flow… There will be some decisions that I will be taking… but have no plans. I will go with the flow because this is the most natural thing that could happen to a female.

“Every girl in the world goes through this and I am one of them. I have to balance both. There is going to be a new life in my life and it will be equally or more important than anything else. I do know… that my first and last love is my singing, the gift God gave to me. So, I will take care of both and just make sure I am at peace with myself,” the songstress said.

Sunidhi, who had a live gig at Dublin Square, Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla, in Mumbai last week, feels if she is “sound” in her head, then “everything will fall in place”.

The singer has sung tracks such as “Mast”, “Kamli”, “Desi girl”, “Navrai majhi” and “Saaki”, shown her acting skills and judged singing realty TV shows.

She says she has evolved as an artiste over the past two decades.

“I started singing for films when I was 11. I have seen a lot. I have seen music change and lyric-writing change. Thankfully, even after all those changes, I am still (here) and that is very exciting because I think you need to grow as an artiste. I have got just the right opportunities — and people to work with, with whom I could grow further,” she said.

“I try to sound different and better… each time I sing a song, and that is what I thrive on,” the singer said.

Anil KapoorAnil Kapoor

Besides having an appetite for experimental roles, Anil Kapoor doesn’t shy away from experimenting with his looks either. The actor recently unveiled his look from his next, Fanney Khan. While the first look showed the actor sporting salt-and-pepper hair, those in the know say that he is sporting a lean look in the Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra film.

The physique didn’t come easy for the 60-year-old actor. A unit hand informs that ahead of the film going on floors a week ago, Kapoor had to adopt a special diet to step into the role of a struggling musician. “Anil was required to achieve a haggard look for the musical. To perfect the look, he completely went off salt and sugar for 20 days,” reveals the source.

Considering the actor suffers from bursitis (inflammation of the tendon near his ankle) — a condition that aggravated during the shoot of Mubarakan in April this year, it was difficult for him to hit the gym with a vengeance. “Anil had to adopt methods other than a regular gym routine to lose weight, as he was nursing an ankle injury at the time. So it was suggested that he go off salt and sugar. He did light workouts twice a day.”

Many drew parallels between this look and the one he sported in Dil Dhadakne Do (2015). Kapoor says, “Fanney Khan’s similarity with Kamal Mehra [his character in Dil Dhadakne Do] ends with the salt-and-pepper hair. The difference in their personalities and circumstances, makes these two characters poles apart.”

Anil Kapoor took 50 hours to finalise his salt-and-pepper look in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s production, Fanney Khan. The actor recently began shooting for the musical, which has Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as his co-star.

The makers claim he spent five days at a suburban salon, clocking 10 hours daily till he was happy with the grey strands near the temples and forehead. Considering Mr Jhakaas had a full crop of grey hair in Dil Dhadakne Do (2013), we wonder how many days and hours he spent finalising that look?
