Farah Khan has adorable birthday wish for 'above average' husband Shirish Kunder

May 242018

It’s Farah Khan’s husband, Shirish Kunder’s birthday, and the filmmaker has a beautiful wish for him

Ace choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan has an adorable birthday wish for ‘above average’ husband Shirish Kunder, who turned 45 on Thursday, May 24. Taking to social media, Farah wished her husband in the most adorable manner. “Happy birthday to an above average husband, but the Best Dad my kids could have!! @shirishkunder .. ur a rare one(sic)!”

Well, knowing 53-year-old’s wit, one doesn’t expect a normal birthday wish from her.

Shirish Kunder is a filmmaker and has also worked as an editor in over several films. He met Farah on the sets of her film Main Hoon Na. Kunder’s directorial debut was with Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta’s film Jaan-E-Mann (2006). Before stepping into the world of glitz and glamour, Shirish worked as an electronic engineer with a reputed phone company for four years.

Apart from this, he is also known for his humour; the art of punching it hard without getting hurt. Here are a few quotes from him that just prove the above-said statement.

“Idiots are always enthusiastic about everything because no matter what life experiences they’ve gone through, they’ve learnt nothing, and can still foresee nothing.”

“Lowering your standards won’t make your battles easier. You will only be fighting with dirtier people.”

“Forgive people. Or just move on to other people. There are enough people in this world.”

“Isn’t it logical that those who believe only in certain religions and castes should focus on running closed groups instead of an entire nation that will have people from all religions and castes?”

Farah Khan and Shirish have been married for 14 years now. They tied the knot in 2004 and have triplets Czar, Anya, and Diva Kunder.

Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s darling daughter, Suhana Khan has turned 18! Turning 18 is the special phase in any teenager’s life and we all try to make it a memorable one. On Monday, momma Gauri had posted a breathtakingly beautiful photo of Suhana and captioned it, “Gearing up for a birthday bash.” She also thanked their dear friend and filmmaker Karan Johar.

Now that birthday wishes are pouring from every quarter from the industry circuit, Suhana Khan’s best friend, Ananya Panday has also posted an adorable birthday post for the teenager. She posted a photo of them posing together. Possibly, the photo appears to be an older one from their previous albums.

According to a report in Filmfare, birthday girl would be taking off to an exotic location with family and a few close friends. So, that’s how Suhana Khan will be celebrating her 18th birthday.

Talking about the plan, a source told the publication, “Suhana Khan is super excited for her 18th birthday. She is ready to take off to an exotic location to bring in her birthday with family and a few friends. It’s her 18th so it has to be special.”

Karan too has taken off at the location. Well, Gauri thanked him for this on her Instagram post. And, given that he was also spotted at the airport.

Like daddy dearest, Suhana, too harbours a desire to pursue a career in acting, and with a few videos of the girl surfaced on social media from her theatre school, she should definitely foray into the craft.

Shah Rukh Khan often speaks about Suhana Khan’s acting skills and her desire to become an actor. He had even told hit-list, “Suhana has expressed her desire to become an actor, but she needs to complete her education first. I have often told her that she will have to work five times harder than me, get paid 10 times lesser than I do and will require a lot of patience and perseverance to be successful.”

Time flies fast, and talking about the same Shah Rukh Khan had shared his thoughts on how the age of 16-18 makes kids want to be closer to their parents. “They (Suhana and Aryan Khan) are studying abroad, I miss them a lot but it gives me an opportunity to take some time off otherwise I am so embroiled in work. The age of 16-18 somehow makes the kids want to stick to the parents even more when they get these five-six days break,” said SRK.

Cousins Taimur Ali Khan and Inaaya Naumi Kemmu enjoy by the poolside

It’s summers and cousins Taimur Ali Khan and Inaaya Naumi Kemmu are having a play date by the poolside. While Inaaya is accompanied by her parents Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu, Taimur has his nanny and another help with him. The little baby was seen taking a dip with daddy Kunal in the pool and momma Soha wrapping her in a white towel is cute. However, the little munchkin preferred watching the birds on the trees and did not take a dip in the pool.

Here are the photos:

A few days ago, Taimur Ali Khan was spotted enjoying the pool with his parents Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. However, Soha has admitted that Saif gets really worried when Taimur is left alone with Inaaya because he is at an age where he wants to explore everything. Speaking at one of the media interactions, the actress-author had said, “Taimur is at an age where he wants to explore everything. He is now able to hold things, his grip is getting stronger. He is also into snatching things and throwing them away. Inaaya is too small now and so we are constantly scared to have them too close to each other. Especially Bhai (Saif) gets really worried whenever Taimur tries to get closer to where Inaaya is.”

“Taimur and Inaaya are both kids, just a few months apart from each other so it really helps to observe Taimur, follow his growth, the changes and milestones in his life and be more aware and prepared while raising Inaaya. Bhai and Kareena both help Kunal and me with handy tips from time to time, which is a blessing when you are a new, first time parent,” added the Tum Mile actress.

With the hope that Taimur and Inaaya grow fond of each other, she further said, “Bhai and I have an 8-year age difference. But Taimur and Inaaya will only have a year’s. I hope they grow fond of each other as they grow up, become best friends. Of course, Taimur is a little older so he will always be the elder brother to Inaaya, protective about her.”

Taimur Ali Khan was born to Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan on December 20, 2016, and Inaaya was welcomed by Soha and Kunal Kemmu on September 29, 2017.

Kareena Kapoor Khan: Hope to work for another two decades in industry

Celebrities

Feb 052018

Kareena Kapoor Khan says her journey in the film industry has been enriching and she would like to work another two decades in Bollywood

Kareena Kapoor Khan

Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is looking her best self nowadays after shedding all the extra weight after the birth of her son Taimur, says her journey in the film industry has been enriching and she would like to work another two decades in Bollywood. “It’s been honorable and I would say enriching. It has been 18 years and still counting. I hope to work for another two decades,” Kareena told IANS in an interview.

Kareena, who made her acting debut in 2000 with Refugee, has many successful films like Jab We Met, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Talaash: The Hunt Begins…, Yuva, Omkara and Udta Punjab, to her credit. And she is also considered one of the most flawless beauties in Bollywood. After embracing motherhoood with the birth of Taimur with husband Saif Ali Khan in December 2016, Kareena is now geared up for Shashanka Ghosh’s Veere Di Wedding, a romantic comedy co-starring Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania.

The actress says she is excited about the film. “It comes on June 1 and it is a summer watch. It is an exciting story about four friends. Also, there are two female producers onboard and that is also exciting. It’s a different time in the industry as people are watching more women-centric films. This is a lot more fun and nothing serious. Hopefully, people will enjoy it,” said Kareena.

With so many female faces in one film, was there any catfight? “That is just a myth. We all are friends. Rhea (Kapoor) is a very good friend of mine. The whole idea of the film was to show the story of four friends. It was so much fun and inspiring and even the film was shot with a lot of fun,” said Kareena. The actress walked the runway as grand finale showstopper for designer Anamika Khanna at Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Summer/ Resort 2018 on Sunday.

Kareena said she is a fan of the designer’s clothes. “Even in this range, she has outdone herself,” said the actress, who is considered a fashion diva, who makes style statements on and off the screen. “For me, it was never about what I am wearing or what I am going to wear. I never thought about it. I wear what I am comfortable in and I think if a person is comfortable in what they wear, he or she looks super stylish.”

The Lakme Absolute Grand Finale brought together the best of Khanna’s contemporary designs interspersed with the diverse nude palette that Lakme has come up with.

Sidharth Malhotra is ready to drop his underwear onscreen, only for this reason

Celebrities

Nov 272017

Bollywood hunk Sidharth Malhotra is ready to drop his underwear onscreen, but he has his own terms and conditions before going ‘full monty’

Sidharth Malhotra has had a decent run at the box-office this year with his film ‘A Gentleman’ performing moderately well and ‘Ittefaq’ getting critical acclaim and also raking in the moolah. Sidharth, has also signed ‘Aiyaary’ a war-drama to be directed by Neeraj Pandey. Spanning out his career from the time of his debut in ‘Student Of The Year’ in 2012, Sidharth has covered most of the genres in Bollywood. Talking about his film choices in an interview to DNA , he says he is not swayed by box-office numbers. ” I am looking at the bigger picture as opposed to the smaller things. I can’t keep thinking about the box-office business. You can’t live off a big hit for a long time, but if you get appreciation, you get a bigger equity and a better legacy. Yes, of course, there are films that have not done well, but there have been movies that have been appreciated as well. I’m not insecure in that zone because I still have the same confidence with which I came into this industry. I know that I will make it, but there’s time to do that. It will happen over some time. It’s a matter of getting the correct combination. These are times to learn from because an actor learns the most when things don’t go his way. There’s a sense of maturity that comes in and fear goes away. And that will only help me better myself as a performer.”

Remember Shilpa Shirodkar? Here's What The 90s Bollywood Actress Is Doing Now

A few of his films have failed but that doesn’t unnerve him either. “Never! I have made all the choices consciously, and I stand by them. Yes, I learn from them. On the sets, when I see directors change something because of the location or technical matters, then it’s just an experience ki aisa bhi ho sakta hai. That’s the learning, but not a regret ki yaar kyun kiya.I think my choices are inclined more towards content-driven films. I haven’t really done the typical, mainstream films. I have always looked for that one peg in all my films. More than it changing my choices, it changes my performance. What I do with those films and characters is what’s important. Aiyaary is next and it has a talented director like Neeraj Pandey and he likes things very subtle. So, the film is more about the story than just the performances. I have not seen the film yet so I can’t speak for it. Henceforth, like in the Vikram Batra biopic, whatever I do, there will be far more shades to it than what you saw in Ittefaq. Probably, now, I get the push to try things like that better.I have not differentiated between commercial and niche films. Some of my most commercial choices have not worked. Right now, nobody knows what will work. The smaller films are doing well mainly because they are made on tight budgets. They usually turn out to be sleeper hits. That’s far more satisfying than falling into the trap of having a big film, releasing at a period and following a certain graph.

And finally, will he ever be ready to drop his pants for a role? “Of course, I would do it. But only if there’s a reason or logic behind it. I will not drop my underwear unless it’s aesthetic and it’s great to do a character like that (laughs). I won’t go nude just for the heck of it. It’s pointless.”

Tusshar Kapoor to launch production house, says sister Ekta won't be part of it

Celebrities

Oct 122017

“Production has been on my mind for a while,” says Tusshar Kapoor, as he shares with mid-day his love for stories. While the prospect had lingered in his mind in the past, he is now considering it earnestly.

Ekta Kapoor

“The idea is a concrete one. There are a few stories on my mind that I wish to produce, but production is a full-time job. It can be exhausting. I am committed as an actor, and do not wish to leave acting to pursue production. So, striking a balance will be necessary,” says Kapoor. He adds that while he isn’t certain of when he will make his debut, the idea of venturing into production is playing on his mind “all the time.”

Given that sister Ekta has made a mark as producer, both in films and television, one might assume that Kapoor could benefit from collaborating with her. However, the actor talks about starting out alone. “I want an entity that’s entirely mine. Ekta and I have distinct tastes, and equally strong opinions. We live under the same roof, so, I think it’s okay to have separate work identities. Of course, we always have each other’s back.”

Tusshar Kapoor

Kapoor returned to acting after a paternity break following the birth of his son, Laksshya, in June 2016. He was certain to take his tiny tot on the sets of Golmaal Again, as soon as he was old enough to accompany him. “He was excited to see the colours and hear the music,” Kapoor says.
