Shahrukh Khan’s ode to the Tamil superstar Rajinikanth has not got unnoticed by the latter’s doting daughter, Soundarya, who is looking for an opportunity to work with the King of romance.

Is Amitabh Bachchan suffering from cancer?

For long now Bollywood’s megastar has been spotted visiting the hospital and this has been a worry for his family, fans and well wishers in the industry:



Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most loved stars in Bollywood. It’s no surprise then that almost two decades back when Big B was hospitalised for a stomach injury on the sets of his cult movie Coolie, (26th July 1982) the whole nation came to a halt praying for his quick recovery and well-being. Even today every Sunday outside the Bachchan house in Jalsa, the sight is heartwarming as fans gather in huge numbers to get a glance of their favourite superstar. So then the news of Amitabh suffering from intestinal ailment that could be cancerous came as a shocker to us. According to tellychakkar.com Big B is suffering from cancer.

Deepika Padukone, Shahrukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor on a selfie spree: Are these B-townies suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder?

Did you have an overdose of selfies? We did. Here’s a rundown of instances where our beloved stars posted selfies and garnered a lot of unnecessary attention:



Selfie – this word has been personified literally by our very capable B-town celebs. It all began with Ellen DeGenres selfie moment at Oscars, and since then it seems everyone in Bollywood seems to have suddenly got obsessed by this. We wonder if this is a way to be in front of the cameras 24×7. That’s when we thought of collating all the self obsessed moments of our B-townies…

Why were Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor missing from IIFA awards 2014?

While starts like Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapoor were dazzling the IIFA stage with their starry presence, we certainly missed some from our fraternity and wonder why they skipped the event that is often touted as the Oscars of India. Read on to know more…



When Aamir Khan doesn’t show up for an award function, it is understandable. He has sworn off award shows for life and he won’t appear in any unless it is the Academy Award show itself! He won’t break this tradition even for the award show that is popularly called the Indian Oscars show. But we were stunned to see that like the Mumbai voter turnout, the actor turnout at IIFA this year was low.

There were some socially responsible actors like Farhan Akhtar and Ranveer Singh stayed back a day just to cast their votes and then flew to Florida for the event. But then there was a huge chunk of the Bollywood celebs that were missing all the fun happening at Tampa Bay..........

Will Amitabh Bachchan’s Bhootnath Returns suffer at the box office due to 2014 Lok Sabha elections? Trade buzz!

This week the sequel of Bhoothnath will the theatres. Though it’s a solo release and stars the Shehenshah of Bollywood, the box office collection of Bhoothnath Returns may get affected coz of the Lok Sabha elections:



Nitesh Tiwari’s horror comedy Bhoothnath Returns starring Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani and Parth Bhalerao will release this Friday. While the prequel wasn’t a huge success at the box office, the sequel looks promising as it’s about elections. So far Bhoothnath Returns has created great buzz thanks to good music and not to forget the special Yo Yo Honey Singh number. Also, Shahrukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor are playing cameos in this film and this has only raised the curiosity level amongst the masses. But the question is – will Bhoothnath Returns get the cash registers jingling? Unlike the prequel, will this one turn out to be a blockbuster? Exhibitor-distributor Akshaye Rathi says, “Bhootnath Returns looks like a promising film for multiple reasons – It has a director whose last film was a great entertainer, a superstar who is probably the biggest icon of Hindi cinema, the coming together of production houses that have given the audience some very entertaining films and to the cherry on the top – hit & popular music!”............./
