Madhuri and Sriram Nene celebrate their 21st Anniversary
Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit married NRI surgeon Sriram Nene on October 17, 1999, and theirs is a marriage that has been always under the radar. The happenstance of Bollywood’s leading diva marrying a talented but reticent doctor who was far removed from the film world caused a stir. Yet the duo seems in love and always declares their affection for each other on social media.

Their 21st marriage anniversary was also an occasion for heartfelt demonstrations of love. The beautiful actress decided to use her Instagram account to write a lovely note to her husband Sriram along with some loving pictures of the couple from their early years. In most of the pictures Sriram and Madhuri are seen wearing traditional outfits, while in some pictures the couple are seen cavorting in an outdoor location in picturesque surroundings.
Madhuri wrote that their anniversary marked the commencement of another year of love and adventure with her treasured companion.
She also wrote that though she and Sriram had very different personalities they were alike in many ways and she felt gratified to have Sriram in her life. She went on to address her husband by his special nickname “Ram.” Sriram responded by an equally heartfelt message where he referred to Madhuri as his soulmate and shared a loving picture of the couple. He said that their marriage began 21 years ago and since then every day has been happiness and adventure. He went to say that he looks forward to the plethora of adventures about to unfold in their lives in the coming days and how their anniversary was very special to him.
The couple was wished by thousands of fans and celebrities. Madhuri was last seen in the 2019 movie Kalank that also starred Sanjay Dutta, Aditya Kapur, Aliya Bhatt and Sonakshi Sinha. The actress debuted as a singer recently with an English number “Candle.” The actress said that her kids are her favorite critics and always give honest opinions on her work.
Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi Vacation in Maldives Hema Malini Opens Up About family Life & Dharmendra
Whether her cinematic career fires on all four cylinders or not, Neha Dhupia is not one to worry or miss out on the joys of life, especially now that she is married to Angad Bedi. At the moment, her podcast #NoFilterNeha is doing well and her last film was a role in Devi by Priyanka Bannerjee. Angad was featured in The Kargil Girl alongside Janhvi Kapoor.
The couple was on a vacation to Maldives and is truly living it up given that it is a location where you can let down your hair and be comfortable in beachwear. Angad dressed for the occasion in snappy shorts, while the woman beside him sported a black bikini set and floppy hat. Neha tweeted the pic with a remark “@angadbedi spotted in Maldives with a woman in black bikini and face covered..should I be worried???” Well Neha, that is up to you and Angad, but the rest of the world would probably tell you to have a good time and make the most of it. Not to be left behind, Angad too found time to tweet a pic with a caption“#Maldives state of mind! With the Mrs. @nehadhupia#vacation #holiday.”
Neha and Angad are not honeymooners though their Maldives vacation could be a recreation. The two were happily married in 2018 and have a daughter. Neha said she saw Angad at the gym when she was 20 years, and he supposedly told his friends that “I’m going to get to know her 1 day.” The couple then met at a friend’s party in Mumbai, where Neha discovered Angad’s sensitive nature. The two soon became close friends since both were outsiders living alone in Mumbai. One thing led to another and the story of this prince and princess ended happily.
Dharmendra and his “dream girl” Hema Malini were the silver screen’s favorite on-screen couple in the 70s. The pair performed brilliantly in several blockbusters like Dillagi, Sholay, Seeta Aur Geeta and Dream Girl. The pair fell madly in love with each other and finally tied the knot on May 2, 1980. The couple has two lovely daughters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol.
However, both Hema Malini and Dharmendra were national heart throbs with extremely demanding work schedules. In fact, they were the most popular on-screen stars of 70s Bollywood. Naturally this left both with very less time to spend with each other. However, Hema Malini said that she has never been one to complain and whatever little time she got to spend with Dharam Ji has been special in its own way. In fact, Hema ji went on to say that she would not like to change any part of any of the phases of her life. She is strictly against useless cribbing and lamentations. Hema ji made it a point to refrain from complaining in her married life and believes that wonderful time spent with loved ones is a gift that should not be thrown away.
Hema Malini ji turned 72 on October 16 and Esha penned a lovely note to her mother. The note declared Esha’s love for Hema and wished the gorgeous actress health and happiness. The note ended with the heart-warming declaration where Esha called Hema her superwoman and Tinkerbelle, tagging her mother in the post. It is clear that Hema Malini shares a close and lovely bond with her family.

Scandals Rock the South Indian film Industry Aaliya Records Statement Before POCSO Court
Drug scandals have entered South India via Bollywood and the celebrity angle persists. Karnataka CBB invaded Vivek Oberoi’s home after it was found that Aditya Alva fled the former’s home after being embroiled in the Sandalwood drug racket. Gautam Kichlu shared Kajal Aggarwal (his fiancée’s) picture on social media and that turned out to be a visual treat for all their fans.
After Sushant Singh Rajput’s death and his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty’s drug scandal, Bollywood came under the scanner for its drug scandal. South India is next in line with Kannada cinema’s drug scene being exposed and Vivek Oberoi’s brother-in-law Aditya Alva named as one of the prime suspects. After Aditya Alva fled, the Karnataka police searched Vivek’s home and enquired about Aditya’s whereabouts. The police supposedly had the lead that Aditya sought refuge in Vivek Oberoi’s Mumbai home leading the CBB to issue a search warrant. The search continues with the Joint Commissioner of Crime Sandeep Patil actively being involved in the issue.
South India’s cine heartthrob Kajal Aggarwal recently decided to tie the knot with businessman Gautam Kitchlu and the entrepreneur expressed his adoration for his lady love on social media. Gautam recently posted a couple’s picture with an infinity sign on social media implying that their bond was meant to last forever. The couple is to marry on October 30 in Mumbai. Meanwhile Saif Ali Khan’s and Prabhash’s Adipurush is all set to go and the movie has already generated a lot of buzz. Film makers are investing an insane amount of money in the project, and it is rumored that Lord Shiva’s role will be played by Ajay Devgan in this movie.
Aaliya, ex-wife of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, now goes by her maiden name Anjana Anand Kishore Pandey. She appeared before the POCSO court and recorded her statement before the magistrate. Her statement supported her allegation that the actor’s brother had molested a family member in 2012. According to PTI reports, Circle Officer Girija Shankar Tripathi said that Aaliya appeared before the POCSO court and recorded her statement under section 164 of the CrPC subsequent to her complaint against her ex-husband and his four family members. She alleges that the actor’s brother molested a child family member.
The allegation has been denied by the actor’s brother Saifuddin Siddiqui. According to him, Aaliya is trying to blackmail and extort money. Shamas Nawab Siddiqui, another brother of Nawazuddin, also came to his brother’s defense in the wake of being accused of rape and cheating. Shamas too stated that these are false accusations and that he would approach the Bombay High Court for relief and to get the complaint quashed. Since Aaliya filed for divorce in May 2020, the accusations have been flying fast and furious. Nawazuddin sent a legal notice to her when she filed for divorce. His lawyer accused her of trying to malign the actor. Aaliya, on her part, claimed that her ex-husband stopped paying her the legal monthly allowance, but this allegation was refuted by Siddiqui’s lawyer who showed screenshots of payments made to Aaliya.
If that is not enough, Aaliya went on to accuse the actor of infidelity in July and further claimed that the actor’s brother would keep her informed of women visiting their house while she was pregnant and was expecting her first child. The couple was married in 2009 and have two children.
