  • Somy Ali slams ‘King of Bollywood’ for calling Salman Khan, her abuser, a ‘good human’

    Somy Ali slams ‘King of Bollywood’ for calling Salman Khan, her abuser, a ‘good human’

    Pakistani-American actress and former model Somy Ali, once Salman Khan’s girlfriend, has been vocal about the abuse she was subjected to in a now deleted Instagram post, calling it the “worst years” of her life.

    “In addition to tons of affairs and flings he would constantly belittle me by calling me ugly, stupid and dumb. Not a day went by that he wouldn’t make me feel worthless and small. He would not acknowledge me as his girlfriend in public for years and when he finally did he would insult me in front of his friends and berate me nonstop,” she wrote.

    In a Instagram post put up three days ago, the actress revealed that an actor, regarded as the ‘King Of Bollywood’, refused to hold her abuser accountable because of the power he held to make or break their career. Instead he called Salman a “pyaara insaan”. She also made a pointed remark that this man has a lot of respect for women, but when it comes to holding her abuser accountable, “he’s in a bind.”

    “Might I add a very good human being, the king of Bollywood stated that this abuser is a very “pyara insaan” which translates as “a very good human being.” Remember I am quoting a huge actor whom I have the utmost respect for, but I also know that he’s in a bind. Nonetheless it’s sad and ironic that the amount of respect this superstar has for women yet would even look in this abuser’s way baffles me. I wouldn’t let any roadblocks hinder my ability to take a stand more so when he himself has a daughter. Hey, I took many stands publicly for his son when he was accused of drug usage. But I guess to each their own.”

    Social media users believe the post refers to Shah Rukh Khan, who is father to a daughter and whose son was publicly accused of drug usage in what was seen as a witch hunt by the BJP government to target the Muslim superstar.

  • ‘I was not targeting anyone particularly’: Kajol provides clarification on ‘educated political leaders’ comment

    ‘I was not targeting anyone particularly’: Kajol provides clarification on ‘educated political leaders’ comment

    Bollywood actress Kajol recently said in an interview to The Quint that people are steeped in traditions, and politicians are uneducated which is why there isn’t a clear viewpoint on how to move forward in India:

    “You have political leaders who do not have an educational system background. I’m sorry but I’m going to go out and say that. I’m being ruled by leaders, so many of them, who do not have that viewpoint, which I think education does give you, at least the chance to look out for a different viewpoint.” 

    While some applauded the DDLJ actress for making a strong case for why its important to have educated leaders, some Twitter users were enraged by her comments and pointed out that Kajol herself was a school dropout.

    Kajol took to Twitter to post a clarification, saying that she was emphasising the importance of education, and was not targeting any politician.

    “I was merely making a point about education and its importance. My intention was not to demean any political leaders, we have some great leaders who are guiding the country on the right path.”

  • ‘He was a gentleman’: Suchitra Krishnamoorthi recalled slapping Shah Rukh Khan multiple times for film scene

    ‘He was a gentleman’: Suchitra Krishnamoorthi recalled slapping Shah Rukh Khan multiple times for film scene

    Among many of Shah Rukh Khan’s most memorable films, ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa’ is the one that is a firm fan favourite.

    Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, who played Anna in the film, recently opened up about her experience in working with the actor, revealing that there was a scene where she had to slap him multiple times because they couldn’t get the shot right. Things reached the point that she burst into tears but Khan stood there without saying a word, as reported by Bollywood Hungama.

    The scene takes place after the song ‘Ae Kaash Ke Hum’ when Anna slaps Sunil.

    The actress said that she didn’t get the slap right the first time, and had to slap Khan multiple times to get the right shot. Krishnamoorthi confessed that she began crying because she didn’t want to do it anymore, but Shah Rukh remained professional and kept standing there until the shot was perfected.

    “It took a lot of takes and I started crying because I had to slap Shah Rukh and it was going take after take and finally I started crying because I couldn’t do it any more. Kundan was particular that it should be real, we didn’t use to do play-acting. And Shah Rukh, being the gentleman that he is, didn’t say anything. But I could see he was going backwards,” Krishnamoorthi told Bollywood Hungama.

  • ‘Mental disorders run in the family’: Aamir Khan’s daughter opens up about dealing with depression, handling parents divorce

    ‘Mental disorders run in the family’: Aamir Khan’s daughter opens up about dealing with depression, handling parents divorce

    Speaking to The Times Of India, Aamir Khan’s second daughter Ira opened up about mental health struggles, especially with clinical depression which she was diagnosed with five years ago. It was through the help of her father, film star Aamir, that she began seeking help for her mental illness, and learned that her family has a history of mental health disorders.

    Khan revealed that altough her parents divorce had not impacted her much, there were still signs that led her to believe something was wrong and led her to come back to India from the Netherlands:

    “My mom pointed out that I didn’t want to be alive so I would just sleep my day away so that I would have fewer hours to live in a day.”

    Ira said she was on medication now, but still experiences bouts of anxiety, which is taking some time for her to understand how mental health issues are common in her family.

    “Every 8-10 months I will have a big crash. It’s partly genetic, partly psychological, and partly social. It took me a while to figure it out. But I have mental health disorders in my family. I also did not make healthy choices and I systematically walked into depression.”

    Khan spoke about the organisation she had set up Agastu Foundation, which aimed at education people about mental health support and providing them with resources to get better. Her parents, Aamir and Reena Dutta, are both members of the advisory board, and her dad had helped in setting up until Ira was able to recieve funding.

    Kiara Advani learned how to make an unusual dish to win over Sidharth’s mother

    Desi mothers-in-law have to be impressed by prospective bahus, and being a Bollywood A-list actress won’t spare you from the ordeal.


    While doing press rounds for promoting her film ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’, Kiara Advani told Mirchi Puls about how she bonded with her mother-in-law, Sidharth Malhotra’s mother, with the help of an unusual dish.

    Advani, well known for her love of pani-puri, known in Pakistan as gol gappay, said that she learned how to make the dish for the first day she visited Mumbai:

     “Of course. Meri mother-in-law jo hain, unko pani puri itna pasand hai! Woh abhi humare saath reh rahi hain, Mumbai mein aayi hui hain Delhi se. So, on her first day, mujhe pata hai ki unko pani puri kitna pasand hai, I said aaj ghar mein hum pani puri banayenge. Jo maska lagaya… I knew she will love me to another level. She was so happy.”

    Sidharth and Kiara, who starred together in ‘Shershaah’ in 2021, got married in February in a star-studded wedding with celebrities like Karan Johar, Juhi Chawla and Shahid Kapoor in attendance. In a previous interview, Advani spoke about how happy she was in her bride era, and called Sidharth her home:

    “I got married recently, and it was a love marriage. So naturally, I believe in true love. A home is made by two people and I feel incredibly lucky that my partner, the man I have chosen, my husband is also my best friend. He is my everything, my home. Wherever I am, he is my family, my home.”

  • Shah Rukh Khan underwent surgery after suffering injury during shoot

    Shah Rukh Khan underwent surgery after suffering injury during shoot

    Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly suffered an injury that left his nose bleeding, according to E Times.

    Sources revealed to the news outlet that the Badshah of Bollywood was in Los Angeles in the US shooting a scene for a film when he suffered an injury and was immediately taken to a hospital.

    Reports have revealed that the injury was minor, requiring Khan to undergo a small surgery after which he was back at his home resting:

    “Post the operation, SRK was spotted with a bandage on his nose and is now back in the country, recuperating at home,” the source revealed to E Times.

    The Bollywood Badshah is set to make share space on the big screen with his daughter Suhana next year in a film that he is also co-producing.

  • Karan Johar thinks Alia-Ranveer are the new SRK-Kajol: Twitter is like ‘Ya think?!’

    Karan Johar thinks Alia-Ranveer are the new SRK-Kajol: Twitter is like ‘Ya think?!’

    Karan Johar really knows how to mess with die-hard Bollywood fanatics and long time lovers of SRK. The filmmaker dropped the video for ‘Tum Kya Mile’ from his upcoming film ‘Rocky and Rani KiI Prem Kahani’. The visuals were awfully familiar to the classic song ‘Suraj Hua Maddham’, another Karan Johar classic which featured Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

    Karan Johar declared back in 2022 that Ranveer and Alia were the new Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, but Twitter stepped up with receipts to counteract his claim.

    A Twitter user Ria Chopra went viral on social media when she shared a screenshot from the music video to point out how Alia flipped her hair, but Ranveer was cringing back from her, completely destroying any potential romantic aspect the film was claiming to champion.

    “Exact second I realized this Rocky Rani song is NOT IT is this moment when Ranveer visibly cringes back to avoid Alia’s hair from hitting his face… in a true filmi romance the hero would allow her hair to hit him…. maybe even throw in a deep sniff… this is not my Bollywood.”

    Soon, other Twitter users roasted the video and seriously rest de do Karan bhaiya, no one can claim to be the King of Romance like SRK.

    The 90s generation who grew up daydreaming that a guy would re-create the iconic ‘Suraj Hua Maddham’ have a bone to pick with the one responsible for this film.

    Someone petition SRK and Kajol to come back for another film because seriously this isn’t working out at all

    Yash Chopra, who invented the sari girl and highneck sweater guy in the snow fantasy, is rolling in his grave.

  • Delays in ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ shoot: Priyanka out, Anushka in?

    Delays in ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ shoot: Priyanka out, Anushka in?

    The Indian film news site ‘Moviefied Bollywood’ has reported that Priyanka Chopra has walked away from the anticipated female-led film ‘Jee Le Zaraa’, costarring Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt, after inordinate delays.

    The site has also reported that Anushka Sharma and Kiara Advani are being considered for the role.

    Since the post went viral on social media, fans are jumping in to recommend their ideal Bollywood actress to do justice to the role, with the majority of people wanting to see Deepika Padukone in the role.

    “Get Deepika instead, and this should be fun… the publicity will be unreal,” one user wrote.

    Chopra had taken to Instagram in 2021 to announce the film ‘Je Lee Zaraa’ which was inspired by the idea of having an all-girls movie which would celebrate friendship, and then she had later shared this idea with her two real-life close friends Alia Bhatt and Katrina, who had agreed to come on board.

  • ‘Salman Khan is next’: threat from gangster who claimed to kill Sidhu Moose Wala

    ‘Salman Khan is next’: threat from gangster who claimed to kill Sidhu Moose Wala

    Candian based gangster Goldy Brar, a member of the Indian gang Lawrence Bishnoi, has spoken to India Today, revealing that he was responsible for the death of rapper Sidhu Moose Wala, while threatening to target Salman Khan.

    Moose Wala had been shot dead a year ago in his car near his village Moosa in Punjab’s Mansa district. A day later Brar wrote a Facebook post where he took responsibility for the murder, claiming that it was done to avenge the death of another gangster.

    Goldy Brar, whose real name is Satinderjeet Singh, revealed the reason for murdering Moose Wala, claiming the rapper was an egoistic person who misused money and political power, and needed to be taught a lesson.

    “Sidhu Moose Wala was an egoistic person. He misused his political and money power. It was necessary to teach him a lesson, and he was taught one,” Goldy Brar said.

    “He had personally harmed us, made some mistakes that were unforgivable, so we had to punish him. When a rich man has close ties with top police officers and when the government doesn’t do justice, how can we expect justice from the courts? So, we sought justice ourselves,” he added.

    Singh then threatened to kill Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, for his innvolvement in the killing of a black buck, a sacred animal in the Bishnoi community. In 1998, during a break from shooting, Khan and his co-stars allegedly went hunting for black bucks in Rajasthan, enraging the Bishnoi community, who are known for their strong environmental and wildlife protection principles, and considering the Black Buck to be a sacred animal.

    “Bhai Sahab (referring to the gang Lawrence Bishnoi) had stated that he wouldn’t apologise. Baba will show mercy only when he feels merciful.”

    Salman Khan recently responded to threatening calls and letters he was receiving in an interview in April, stating that he has a lot of faith in God:

    “I know whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what you do. I believe that He is there. It is not that I will start roaming freely, it is not like that. Now there are so many Sheras around me. So many guns are going around with me that I am scared these days.”
