Bigg Boss 13: Shefali Bagga misses her family; reveals it is her first Diwali away from home

Bigg Boss 13: Shefali Bagga misses her family; reveals it is her first Diwali away from home
The house of Bigg Boss is no less than a nightmare for the celebrities as they are not allowed to connect with the outside world, especially with the festive season around. With no source of entertainment or access to phones, it is but natural to miss your family during Diwali. In a recent clip on VOOT’s Unseen Undekha, the most outspoken contestant Shefali Bagga shows her sensitive side in a conversation with Mahira Sharma. Bigg Boss 13: Shefali Bagga misses her family; reveals it is her first Diwali away from home The emotional dialogue between the two divas starts when Shefali tells Mahira that this is her first Diwali away from home. She goes on to say “Otherwise meri jitni bhi Diwali gayi hain, thodi der ke liye hoti toh thi hi pooja ke liye ghar pe.” Mahira tries to lift her spirit and responds “Ab who tujhe dekh rahe honge.” Referring to her family members, Shefali goes on to say “Yaad kar rahe honge aur poore din sochte honge ki kya kar rahi hogi.” Commenting on the format of the show where brawls and disputes are very common, Mahira says “Yaha toh itni saari cheezein hoti hain, jab bahar dikhti hongi toh aisa lagta hoga shit yaar ye kya ho raha hai, andar khoon hi na kar dein.” In total agreement with Mahira, Shefali expresses “Sar fodenge ek doosre ka, ye tension ho rahi hogi gharwalon ko na. Naye logo ke beech mein aap kitna bhi reh lo bonding ho jaati hai initially ya jo bhi, lekin jo strength hai na woh ghar walo se hi hi milti hai koi kitna bhi close ho jaye.” “Of course, tabhi toh khoon ke rishtey khoon ke hote hain,” adds Mahira in a very filmy style. Shefali, who is otherwise known to play the game on her own conditions shows her obedient side and quips “Kuch bhi keh lo at the end aap karoge wahi jo ghar wale keh denge ek baari.” Shefali then goes on to express how in daily lives, we all neglect our family and gives out a priceless piece of advice. “Aur bahar jab hum hote hain, pata nahi time kaise time nikalta jaata hai busy rehte hain idhar udhar kabhi ghumne chale gaye aur yaha aae hain toh soch rahe hain ghar walo ke baare mein. Explaining how keeping your family is of utmost importance, Shefali mentions the little things that matter. She ends the conversation on a emotional note, “Khush rahe yaar bas, parents na khush rehne chahiye. Apne parents ko na jitna ho sake insaan khush rakhe, chhoti chooti cheezein na matter karti hain ek baar unke sath bas baith jao, hug kar lo unse baat kar lo, itna puch lo ki din kaisa gaya koi problem toh nahi hai, toh bhi ghar wale khush ho jaate hain.” Also Read: Bigg Boss 13: Kaanta Laga girl Shefali Jariwala to enter the house as wild card contestant

Fan wants Anil Kapoor to become the CM of Maharashtra, actor has a witty reply

Fan wants Anil Kapoor to become the CM of Maharashtra, actor has a witty reply
Who can forget Anil Kapoor's scintillating performance as a journalist-turned-politician in his super hit film Nayak? It remains one of his career's most iconic films. And looks like this particular fan of the actor is impressed beyond an explanation; so much that he suggested Kapoor to become the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. It's been some days since the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance has won the Maharashtra polls, but the tussle of power between the two parties is on, and the new state ministry isn't announced yet. Fan wants Anil Kapoor to become the CM of Maharashtra, actor has a witty reply “Maharashtra mein jab tak koi rasta nahi nikalta, tab tak anil kapoor ko hi mukhyamantri bana kar dekh lete hain. Parde par unka ek din ka karyalay poore desh ne dekha aur saraha hai. Devendra Fadnavis aur Aaditya Thackeray kya soch hai? (Until we find a solution for Maharashtra, let's make Anil Kapoor the Chief Minister. His one-day act [as a CM] has been witnessed and loved on the big screen by the entire nation. What say, Devendra Fadnavis and Aaditya Thackeray?),' he wrote. Kapoor had a witty response to this. 'I better be the 'Nayak' (actor) only,' he wrote. Nayak, also starring Rani Mukerji and Amrish Puri, was directed by S. Shankar and starred Kapoor as a TV journalist who puts up a brilliant show as the CM for a day and is later elected as one.

Watch: Shah Rukh Khan gets nostalgic as a Parisian fan sings iconic DDLJ song

Watch: Shah Rukh Khan gets nostalgic as a Parisian fan sings iconic DDLJ song
Shah Rukh Khan isn't only India's own romantic icon, but enjoys a global fan base. Add to that the fact that language is really no bar in romance. Hence, we weren't surprised when we stumbled upon this video of a man in Paris, playing and humming SRK's iconic track 'Tujhe Dekha Toh Ye Jana Sanam' from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Watch: Shah Rukh Khan gets nostalgic as a Parisian fan sings iconic DDLJ song The video came to SRK' notice courtesy a fan, who spotted the man in Paris. The Parisian was indeed enjoying the melody as he also started singing at the end. Several Indians gathered to take a video! This got SRK truly nostalgic. Sharing it on Twitter, he wrote, 'Suddenly just...missed Yashji. Maybe it’s the singers cap?' For anyone who didn't get the reference, crawl the internet and you'd find photos of late Yash Johar, wearing a similar cap. DDLJ, to date, remains one of the most iconic films done by the SRK-Kajol pairing, and also marked Aditya Chopra's directorial debut. Not long ago, we also told you that the actor was going to announce his next films in a month or two. With his birthday just after two days, we can hope that the big announcement is on its way! He was last seen in Aanand L Rai's Zero, alongside Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Nawazuddin Siddiqui reveals why an actor should NOT overdo their scenes

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Nawazuddin Siddiqui reveals why an actor should NOT overdo their scenes
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is undoubtedly one of the finest actors this film industry has seen. The actor has given some of his brilliant performances in films like Gangs Of Wasseypur, Manto, Raman Raghav 2.0, Badlapur, Haramkhor among others. His stint in digital platform with Sacred Games too turned out to be a super success. EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Nawazuddin Siddiqui reveals why an actor should NOT overdo their scenes Speaking EXCLUSIVELY to Bollywood Hungama recently during the promotions of Motichoor Chaknachoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was asked about working with Athiya Shetty and how one should perform in scenes. "Mujhe aisa lagta hai ki kabhi bhi kisi actor ko aisa ahsaas nahi dilaana chahiye ki you are something. Aap usmein merge ho jao. Kabhi aap jyaada hai, kabhi aap usse kam ho. Yeh pura give and take hona bahut zaroori hota hai. Ki main apni acting lo lekar kisi pe phenk ke maaru ki 'tujhe pata hai main kitna bada actor hoon?'', yeh toh phir uss din se downfall shuru ho jayega. Ek mahaul hota hai aur uss mahaul mein merge hona hota hai aapko. Kabhi kabhi situation aisi hai ki aap usmein kam ho toh kam khelna chahiye aapko. (I feel that one should never make anyone feel that you are something. You should get into the skin of the character. Sometimes, you are above the role, sometimes the character is above you. There should be a full give and take. I can't take my acting too seriously and go around saying that 'you know who I am?'. Your downfall begins from that day onwards. You have to analyze the atmosphere and merge into your character. Sometimes when the situation is where you are less in the scene, you have to play accordingly)," says Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Nawazuddin Siddiqui further talked about what his theatre teacher had taught them. "Hamare ek teacher the, Russian teacher the aur hamare 3rd year mein play karne aaye the. Woh bolte the ki agar kisi scene mein aapki 5 % demand hai toh utna hi karo, usmein extra nikal ke aane koshish na karo kyunki woh dikh jaati hai. Agar aapka character aisa hai ya unka character aisa hai toh woh respect rakhna bahut zaruri hai scenes mein. Agar aap kam ho toh aap kam hi khelo, usko woh respect do. Toh yeh zaruri hota hai. Agar main har jagah apni acting dekhane laga, toh uss din se sab khatam ho jayega.(We had a Russian teacher in 3rd year who had come for a play. He used to say that 'if there is a 5% demand of you in a scene, do not overdo it because it reflects easily. If your character or someone else's character has less screen time, so you should maintain that respect. If you have less time, you should respect that and work accordingly. If I start showing off my acting chops in everything, then it will be over for me)," added Nawazuddin. Motichoor Chaknachoor is set to release on November 15, 2019.

What’s common between Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Ayushmann Khurrana?

What’s common between Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Ayushmann Khurrana?
Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Ayushmann Khurrana are the next gen superstars who are carving a niche for themselves in the hearts of audiences with their body of work. All three are stellar performers who people wait to watch on screen and looks like there is something common between these three youth icons. Let’s find out what... What’s common between Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Ayushmann Khurrana “Ranveer, Ranbir and Ayushmann have built their fan base with their incredible body of work. While Ranveer and Ranbir have done big ticket or larger than life cinema which have become blockbusters, Ayushmann has delivered six hits in a row with slice of life cinema in which he not only celebrated the heroics of a common man but also gave audiences a message with his cinema. His strong track record has earned him an enviable reputation of being a bankable star. And when you deliver hits and choose the best scripts that the industry is making, your value as a bankable endorser also goes up as there is a lot of credibility that gets attached to the brand,” says an industry insider. The informer adds, “Endorsing a potato chips brand has been a territory of the superstars across years. The reason: such brands have only chosen stars with incredible reach and credibility. And if you look at who is endorsing the top 3 potato chips brands currently, you will see Ranveer, Ranbir and now Ayushmann. This basically goes on to show the rise of Ayushmann’s equity as a star in India. Due to his choice of excellent scripts and a superb run of delivering 6 hits in a row, which includes two big 100 crore blockbusters, he has emerged as one of the most reliable and credible faces in the industry.” Ayushmann’s current line-up includes Bala, Gulabo Sitabo, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan - all premium content films that are much awaited by the industry.

EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Leela BHANSALI shifts GANGUBAI to Film City after SALMAN KHAN’s RADHE comes to Mehboob Studios

EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Leela BHANSALI shifts GANGUBAI to Film City after SALMAN KHAN’s RADHE comes to Mehboob Studios
'Nahi banuanga set tere set ke saamne…' Dev Anand may have sung 'Tere ghar ke saamne ek ghar banuanga…' to Nutan in the movie Tere Ghar Ke Saamne, but apparently, ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali refused to even construct a set next to Salman Khan’s new movie set at the same studio, in recent times. SLB was planning to shoot the first schedule of his next movie, Gangubai Kathiawadi, starring Alia Bhatt, from next week in Mehboob Studios while Salman Khan was planning to do the same with Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, directed by Prabh Dheva. Salman and Bhansali recently had a fallout when their movie Inshallah got shelved. EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Leela BHANSALI shifts GANGUBAI to Film City after SALMAN KHAN’s RADHE comes to Mehboob Studios While there were various reasons given for their fallout - from Salman’s interference in the script and casting to his announcement on Twitter saying Inshallah would release on Eid 2020 without the filmmaker’s knowledge and an upset Bhansali deciding to shelve the movie after that, nobody knows the real reason as neither has spoken about it. Both have moved ahead with their respective films – Salman with Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai and Bhansali with Gangubai Kathiawadi. Says a trade source, “Salman will be shooting for his home production, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, from November 4 at Mehboob Studios, in Bandra and the construction of the sets have started a few days ago. But what he didn’t know was that Sanjay Leela Bhansali was also planning to begin shooting at the same studios around the same time. But SLB came to know about it when the set of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai was being constructed so he decided to shift to Film City, in Goregaon – even though they have shot a song for the same on a set constructed earlier. It’s a nice gesture of SLB to move his set to Film City as he’s a very sensitive and perceptive filmmaker and he must have realized that if he and Salman kept bumping into each other at Mehboob Studios, during each other’s shoots in the future, it could become awkward for them both, with the media getting maximum mileage out it.” The source adds that while Gangubai’s set construction is almost ready in Film City, there was another reason for the change in location. “SLB loves larger-than-life cinema so his shooting will cover two sets in Film City. It’s a sensible decision of the filmmaker to shift his set or it could have become a tense situation for both, even though the parting was amicable. Bhansali was planning to block Mehboob Studio in Bandra for the November shoot as he’s known to shoot in complete secrecy and doesn’t like people taking pictures on their cell phones and leaking out the look of the film and that’s when he came to know about the Radhe shoot. Salman has many people coming to meet him and buzz is that he will do his interviews from the Radhe shoot so plenty of media would also be there. For these reasons, Bhansali decided it was more practical to shift his shoot rather than continue here.” The two movies are completely different in genre – while Gangubai Kathiawadi revolves around a character, who was a brothel-owner in Kamathipura, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai is an action thriller and about an undercover cop who tracks all over India on a thrilling mission.

Tannishtha Chatterjee adopts a baby girl
Actress Tannishtha Chatterjee couldn’t be in a happier space. She has just adopted a 3-year old baby girl and she wants the world to know it’s easier than people think. “There’s this misconception that adopting a child is very difficult for a single woman. That isn’t true. As a matter of fact the adoption rules favour unmarried people. And I had no difficulty adopting her.” Tannishtha Chatterjee adopts a baby girl Tannishtha says she wants her child to be as comfortable as possible. “My daughter remembered her real name. So why should I change it? She has no other memory of her childhood. So besides her name it’s like starting over a new life for her and for me.” The talented actress can’t get over how much her life has changed. “Earlier I was the centre of my universe. That place has now been taken. My daughter is so talkative, and she is a quick learner. She has already picked up Bengali. She speaks non-stop and I sometimes want to tell her to just stop.” The doting mother feels a tremendous sense of fulfilment in her new role as a mother. “I used to wonder why there was so much fuss about parenthood, why people claimed it changed their lives completely. Now I know.” Tannishtha who has just completed her first film as director feels her priorities have changed. “Earlier my work, my films were above everything else. Now nothing matters more than my daughter. I feel she has adopted me instead of the other way around.” Also Read: Arjun Mathur And Tannishtha Chatterjee to headline Anshuman Jha’s directorial debut

Tiger Shroff leaves for Serbia to shoot for Baaghi 3

Tiger Shroff leaves for Serbia to shoot for Baaghi 3
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is done with the heat and dust of Housefull 4. He now flies off to Serbia with director Ahmed Khan and leading man Tiger Shroff to shoot action scenes for Baaghi 3. Tiger Shroff leaves for Serbia to shoot for Baaghi 3 Baaghi 3 would be the first Hindi film to be shot in Serbia. The point, we hear, is to shoot the kind of action scenes Tiger has never done before. For this purpose, the script needed rugged unexplored locations. Says Sajid, “We zeroed-in on Serbia for its freshness and virility, also because we are being provided with all support and co-operation by the country.” Apparently, it is a very big deal for the Serbian government to have such a big production house from Bollywood shooting in their country. All precautions have been taken to ensure Tiger’s security. Says Sajid, “He has a massive fan following in every country. Now after War he is a rage in every corner of the world.” The crew leaves on Wednesday for Serbia and hopes to complete major chunks of the shooting in record time. Says Sajid, “The best part of shooting abroad is there are no distractions. Like a good father accompanying his child to boarding school, I’m just going to settle the crew in Serbia and come back to Mumbai after four days.”

Here’s why Ayushmann Khurrana didn’t shave his head for Bala

Here’s why Ayushmann Khurrana didn’t shave his head for Bala
Versatile actor Ayushmann Khurrana has never failed to impress with his acting chops. The talented actor has become famous over the years for spending a lot of time and effort preparing for each role and getting into his character. Ayushmann’s upcoming film Bala, which is scheduled to release on November 7, 2019, is no different. And going by the promos of Bala, which is produced by Maddock Films, it is certain that the brilliant actor has once again nailed it. Here’s why Ayushmann Khurrana didn’t shave his head for Bala Presented by Jio Studios and Dinesh Vijan, Bala deals with the subject of premature balding in men and the social stigma surrounding it. Now, Ayushmann is known to push the envelope when it comes to playing his characters, and for Bala too Ayushmann was willing to go to any length to get his character right, even shave his head! However, while the dedicated actor was all charged to sacrifice his hair for the role, film’s director – Amar Kaushik didn’t let him do so and he had a very valid reason for it too. According to Amar, Ayushmann is one of those lucky fellas who inherently has very good hair and even if he would have shaved his head, it wouldn’t have looked real. Commenting about it, Amar Kaushik said, “Ayushmann genetically has very good hair, they are thick and voluminous. A person who starts losing hair has a certain pattern to it. The hair first starts thinning and then slowly starts decreasing. So even if Ayushmann would have shaved his head, we wouldn’t have got the exact desired look as we had to show a process of balding. Hence, we had to go ahead with prosthetics. But I really do respect his dedication for his craft.”

Arjun Mathur And Tannishtha Chatterjee to headline Anshuman Jha's directorial debut

Arjun Mathur And Tannishtha Chatterjee to headline Anshuman Jha's directorial debut
While he is best known for his choice of evolved work on stage and cinema as an actor, Anshuman Jha is all set to make an exception to his repertoire by turning director with a black comedy thriller titled Lord Curzon Ki Haveli. The film is written by the writer of Chauranga - Bikas Mishra who won the Best Film at MAMI 2014 and Jha was a part of the cast. Arjun Mathur And Tannishtha Chatterjee to headline Anshuman Jha's directorial debut The new film is expected to go on floors in the UK in January and Arjun Mathur and Tannishtha Chatterjee have been signed as one of the two principal couples in the film. Arjun has been riding high the success of his web show Made In Heaven, directed by Zoya Akhtar and this will be the next feature film that he has signed since the series. A source close to the development informs, “The film is a dark comedy inside a house that involves two couples & a Pizza Delivery Boy. Arjun and Tannishtha have been roped in to play two of the central characters, the remaining two are yet to be locked. Being an actor himself, Anshuman has a distinct vision for the characters & understands the importance of solid actors to tell his story. And both Arjun and Tannishtha fit the parts to perfection. While both of them have a certain innocence about them, they could both pass as perfect examples of anti-casting as a pair for the said role." "Since the plot is novel, the makers want to keep the highlight points in wraps. He is also in talks with two other critically and commercially acclaimed actors for the remaining two leads. Anshuman is in the process of finalising the other couple & The Delivery boy to complete the primary casting of the film.” Confirming the news, Anshuman tells us, “This is a 5 character film & each part is integral to the story. And requires ACTORS. I am grateful to Tannishtha and Arjun, whose work I admire, and excited to collaborate with them on a script which excites us all in equal measure.' February 14th, 2020 also sees the release of Jha's next as a leading man Hum Bhi Akele post which he begins shoot for Pankaj Dubey's book adaptation of 'What A Loser'.
