Sonakshi Sinha planning to quit acting?

 Sonakshi Sinha, who is going through a successful career ride with films like Rowdy Rathore, Lootera and the most recent Holiday in her pocket, has stated that being in front of the camera was not her wish and she’ll probably leave doing so.

During an interview, the Dabangg girl said that acting was never her first choice for a career. Despite having a filmy background, the actress never wished to be an actor. Instead, if something more interesting and happening comes in her life in the future, she’ll probably leave acting.

Sonakshi, who is on a break these days, will soon tighten her shoes for the promotion of her upcoming mega-budget movies- Lingaa, Action Jackson and Tevar.

Lingaa stars the legend Rajinikanth, while Ajay Devgn and Arjun Kapoor will be sharing the screen alongside her in the rest of the films, respectively.

Dilip Kumar enjoys lovely evening with wife Saira Banu

Rumour mongers had a field day earlier this week with the Dilip Kumar death hoax. For the doubting Thomases, here’s a further proof that the thespian is doing fine.

Dilip Kumar aka Yusuf Khan had been inactive on Twitter since June this year. But now, he’s taken back to Tweeting just to silence the wagging tongues.

In his latest post, the thespian has even posted a photo of himself enjoying a sunny evening with his wife Saira Banu.

“Spent a lovely evening in our Pali Hill home-garden with Saira,” Dilip Kumar tweeted.

The death hoax about the 91-year-old screen legend three days back sent shock waves throughout the film industry. Fortunately, the rumours turned out to be baseless. But that didn’t mean well-wishers the world over weren’t worried.

“Phone calls from all over the world. All night. Your love and prayers and Allah's blessings cannot be thanked enough,” Dilip Kumar tweeted two days back.

Well, looking at the photo above, the nonagenarian actor seems to be doing fine. We hope he stays in the pink of his health.

Bigg Boss 8: Sonali Raut should be kicked out, say fans!

Looks like Sonali Raut’s slapgate involving Ali Quli Mirza (the receiver of that tight thappad)has not gone down well with Bigg Boss 8 viewers.  Many believe  Sonali simply used Ali’s notorious image to her advantage. Many also opined that Ali Quli Mirza is irritating, may be he get flirtious with women ( and gets dirty, which is highly unacceptable) But did the Dubai-based singer really deserve that harsh a deal-a tight slap on across face, while the whole world watched the spectacle? Bigg Boss fans started reacting with tremendous fury to the …ahem ahem raw deal Ali received.

” Just because I am a woman doesn’t necessarily mean that I have to support a woman, even when she is wrong. I hate Sonali for what she did. This is not an act of bravery, she was purely disgusting. Why she did not slap Ali then and there when he tried to touch her inappropriately? Sonali just read Ali’s image carefully and used his bad public persona against him to gain popularity to create a tamasha. This whole commotion is not for woman empowerment. She is not a hero,mind you” said Aarti, a regular India.com reader and an ardent Bigg Boss follower.

“Sonali had slapped her fellow co-actress Zoya Afroz, so its the habit of Sonali to slap everyone. She doesn’t deserve to be in the house, she doesn’t work, her voice is irritating, she is not entertaining, doesnt do the tasks she is just a waste walking dead of the house,” opined another reader who wished to keep her identity guarded.

Some were on Sonali’s side too. Kumar writes, “Ali deserved the slap from Sonali. His antics against Sonali are well documented now. How much bad and depressing poor Sonali would have felt when he touched her inappropriately. For her, as an individual, it was an act of give back. Well done Sonali.”

Interestingly, many voted against Sonali’s slapping saga. ” Ok here’s a lady who chooses to get cosy with Upen Patel in the presence of 100 cameras in the house. Is this intimacy, love or pure show off? What Ali did was wrong, but Sonali is a gamer too. She fails to get my sympathy. If Ali is a villain of this entire story then Sonali is not a hero either. In fact, She has shown her class by slapping Ali. Violence is justified in certain cases. Some people need to be slapped so that they know how to behave with women, but in this case Ali was just used as a bakra ( a scapegoat) whose popular image was sued to boost the nosediving TRP’s of Bigg Boss,” opined Smitha.

More reactions with strong voices are emerging after the unfortunate occurrence. Tell us what do you think Bigg Boss fans- Do you think Ali Quli Mirza was used in a strategically well- orchestrated move made by Miss Raut?

KIFF 2014: Oscar winner's film on Indian girl screened

Oscar winner Megan Mylan's documentary "After My Garden Grows", which tells the story of a teenager in rural West Bengal growing food on a tiny rooftop garden to feed her family and as a means to delay her marriage, was screened at the 20th Kolkata International Film Festival to a packed audience.

The American documentary filmmaker clinched the Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject) for "Smile Pinki", which released in 2008. It is based on a five-year-old girl from Varanasi with severe cleft lip.

Her current venture, the 10-minute short "After My Garden Grows", was showcased at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Bollywood actor Aamir Khan hosted a special showing in Mumbai Friday.

This stops girls from getting married off at an early age.

Monika is one of the 40,000 girls participating in a programme to empower adolescent girls through the micro-agricultural programme for adolescents launched by the state government in 2011 as part of the central government's Sabla scheme.

"Monika is trying to change her life as well as the lives of others in her village. This is an example that change is happening in India and through the film, we hope it reaches others," Mylan told the media Sunday after the screening.

Aarya Babbar Calls Puneet Issar a 'Dirty Human Being' : Bigg Boss 8

Bollywood and Punjabi film actor Arya Babbar had several heated exchange with co-contestant Puneet Issar during his stint on Bigg Boss 8 and he accused the senior actor of playing dirty politics inside the house.

Besides the verbal fights, the 32-year-old actor also engaged in a physical tussle with Puneet, which resulted in the latter being punished and confined to a make-shift jail inside the Bigg Boss house.

"A distinctive characteristic of every person was highlighted on the show- sweet, self-obsessed, quarrelsome, dumb and hypocrite. Puneet Issar was obnoxious, cheap and dirty. He represents the dirt and murk of the society. He would call someone his son and daughter and then later talk bad behind their backs," Arya told PTI after his eviction from the show.

The actor, who is the son of actor-politician Raj Babbar and theatre personality Nadira Babbar, said that he tried his best to be respectful towards Puneet but the Mahabharat star thwarted his endeavours with his behaviour.

"I come from a background where I was taught to respect elders. I respected Puneet ji alot. Even when he attacked me so violently, I was nice to him. But he trashed Punjabi cinema which is like my mother.

"I owe a lot to Punjabi cinema and he has no right to rubbish it. That's why I lost my cool and could not reconcile with him again," he said. Arya, who has starred in films like Guru, Ready, Tees Maar Khan, also attributed Gautam Gulati's unpopularity amongst the housemates to his proximity with Puneet.

"I was friends with Gautam from day one but when Puneet ji entered the house in the second week, Gautam lost the plot. It is sad that Gautam got in touch with Puneet Issar. I wish he had not," he said.

Addressing the controversy with actress and former co-contestant Minissha Lamba, Arya said he was under a lot of pressure when he said that they dated before.

"We did get in touch before and I asked her about any romantic possibility in the house. It is quite normal for co-stars to do it for publicity before the release of a film.

"When she said she was not comfortable, I stepped back and never approached her again. All I would like to say is that the few things I said may have been an angry reaction to what Minnisha had said. But I did not lie about anything," Arya said.

When asked who he would like to win, the actor said he wants his friend, model-actor Upen Patel to win the show. "I want Upen to win. But he is very nice and sober so I think he will be evicted very soon."

TV actress Nigaar Khan, the latest wild card contestant on 'Bigg Boss 8', says her sister and last season's winner, Gauhar, is responsible for her decision to be a part of the reality series.

The 35-year-old actress, mainly known for her portrayal of negative characters on TV soaps, will be the fourth wild card entrant on the show after Ali Quli Mirza, Renee Dhyani and Dimpy Mahajan.

"Gauhar is definitely responsible for my decision to be a part of 'Bigg Boss'. I was holidaying and I got a call this Monday. Gauhar played a vital role in agreeing me to do the show. Hope I also have as much fun as she had," Nigaar told PTI before entering the house.

Nigaar said that she has not been able to follow the show from the start but has managed to watch few latest episodes.

"From whatever I have seen, I know that there are two groups inside the house. I feel that neither the contestants nor the audience is having fun. I want to change that. I want to bring the two groups together," she said.

The 'Khan Sisters' star said that she personally knows Diandra Soares from their modelling days and feels that the former model is yet to show her real self to the audience.

"Diandra is a very fun person. I don't know why she is not showing that side to the audience. I hope I can bring out that side of her," Nigaar said.

The actress is not thinking about winning the show.

Bigg Boss 8: Sushant Digvikar gets eliminated

The episode started off with Salman Khan dancing to one of the most romantic songs Mere Rang Mei from his film Maine Pyaar Kia. The day 49th in the Bigg Boss 8 house was, as usual, full of drama and gossip. While Aarya and Puneet tried to clarify their point of view regarding their fight that took place in the last week, it all ended up into what turned out to be a heated arguement.

In today’s episode, Mr Gay 2014, Sushant Digvikar bid aideu to the show. Ali Quli Mirza, Puneet Issar and Shushant were announced unsafe in the house on Saturday. But Digvikar’s journey has now ended in the madhouse. The former Bindas TV anchor, Sushant, who has represented the gay community inside the house too, looked extremely disappointed with his eviction. He blamed his dear friend Karishma Tanna for his eviction. In one of the previous episodes, when Karishma and Gautam were given a chance to save a contestant from being evicted this week, though Gautam picked Sushant, Karishma denied to do so and insisted on wanting her make-up kit back.

Sushant Digvikar, remarkably handsome and charismatic by his looks will be representing India in the Mr. Gay 2014 in Rome. An anchor by profession and a reputed vocalist, this charming personality is already on his diet term and is all keyed up for the upcoming competition. Though he believes that his competitors are nothing less than Greek Gods, he was  pretty much confident about winning or at least wanted to be among the first 3 contenders. Being a Master in Psychology, Sushant guides and counsels people struggling with sexual orientation and gender identity. He has also been a part of Kashish Mumbai International Film Festival 2014 and GAYSI events.

While the wild card entrants have been locked in the glass-walled house, we hope that the show becomes more entertaining and interesting to watch in the coming weeks!

Karishma reveals her true colours in Bigg Boss 8

Post Minissha Lamba’s dramatic exit from the ‘Bigg Boss’ house, Puneet is welcomed back. A new day begins and the housemates wake up excitedly to the ‘Nach Baliye’ tunes.

It’s already time for the next nomination. Captain Upen picks out five names of his choice in the open. Other housemates will then pick out their two nominations only from those five names inside the confession room. There is much emotional turbulence as housemates struggle to make their choice, which were confined to the five names of Upen’s choice.

Once they are through with the nominations business, the housemates are given yet another task. Karishma and Gautam are summoned to perform the same in the confession room, while other housemates will get a chance to watch the live feed of the task.

Gautam and Karishma were to choose amongst ten options given by Bigg Boss. Both of them are blindfolded and they will hold yes or no placards to give their agreement or disagreement for a particular option. The first three questions, on which Gautam and Karishma will mutually agree to, will be rewarded to the housemates.

Bigg Boss asked them if they want Karishma’s make-up back followed by Daindra’s make-up. Gautam says no, while Karishma says otherwise. The rest of the housemates were watching the game intently.

But what happens next will come as a big shock. Bigg Boss asked whether they would want to relieve Sushant from his sevak role, which was a result of the big bomb dropped by Minissha post eviction.
Gautam says ‘yes’ while Karishma who is Sushant’s very good friend choses ‘No’. Housemates were shocked at Karishma’s choice. Not realizing her insensitive choice of saying no to release Sushant from the house duties, Karishma starts arguing with Gautam about getting her make-up.
Gautam does his best to explain to Kaishma that they should rather try saving Sushant than get her make-up back. However, she is no mood to listen and lashes out at Gautam stating that, he is a very ugly person who first convinced her to give up her make-up for Puneet and now when there is a chance to get it back he betrayed her.

Karishma yells at Gautam further saying that, she doesn’t want to sit beside him and that she doesn’t care about anything but her make-up. There was a chance for them to save any one of the nominated contestants too, but Karishma wasn’t interested in that either. After a whole lot of unpleasant words,

Karishma finally agreed upon Sushant being relived, which was Gautam’s first priority always. Sushant is very hurt by Karishma’s behaviour as is seen rushing to the washroom teary-eyed. Once the task is over, she comes to know that the entire house was watching her. In order to save  her friendship Karishma then goes on to explain Sushant and Diandra why did she did not relieve Sushant in the first place. Karishma says that respecting Minissha’s big bomb decision she didn’t want to relieve Sushant and also went onto confess that make-up was her first priority as she wants to look good. The housemates all turn against Karishma for her behaviour towards her own friends. Upen also told Karishma that if she wanted to look good, then saving Sushant would have made her look great.

Ringing in his special day with the fans, SRK waved out to the hysteric crowd waiting outside his palatial bungalow, Mannat, in Mumbai. The superstar, who just finished his post-release promotions of "Happy New Year" on Saturday, took to Twitter to express his joy on witnessing the madness. "So many beautiful people outside Mannat.

Gautam seems to have become a target of sorts for all other contestants. The "misunderstood" housemate has been at loggerheads with almost every contestant this week, and looks like that has taken a toll on his health.

According to Colors website, a dejected and "outcast" Gautam spoke to the camera about his predicament and stated that he is feeling homesick.

"After sensing that he was going through a lot of depression, he was called in the confession room by Bigg Boss and was asked to pour his heart out. Post which he felt pretty relaxed," states the website.

Will Gautam find support in fans and host Salman Khan during the Weekend ka Vaar episode tonight? Who stands a chance of getting evicted? Tell us in the comments section below.
Contestants nominated for eviction this week are: Praneet, Minissha, Gautam, Sonali and Puneet.

Meanwhile, this season's ex-contestant Soni Singh, who was evicted last week, wants to return as a wild card entry.

"I had a lot of fun. Actually, I did not want to leave at all. Right now, I really want Bigg Boss to give me a wild card entry because I was having so much fun there," she said, according to The Hindu.
Bigg Boss 8 Weekend ka Vaar with Salman Khan airs on Colors TV at 9:00pm IST.
