Tis fire ‘n’ fury in Bollywood… and all the stars are running helter-skelter for cover. No wonder Bhai Jaan Salman Khan prefers to stay put in his farmhouse in Panvel. Maybe because there’s a lot of peace, quiet and Iulia there. Talking about Salman’s Romanian girlfriend, the Sultan has supposedly added an element of her Romanian reality show Ferme Vedetelor concept into Bigg Boss 14 this time. That’s right, supposedly contestants will be farming too…

In the meantime, Shibani Dandekar accused Sushant’s ex girlfriend Ankita Lokhande of trying to get her “two minutes of fame” when the latter accused Rhea Chakraborty of being “careless” in looking after Sushant. Well, Shibani should know all about “two minutes” of fame more so as her ‘claim to fame’ is purely as Farhan Akhtar’s girlfriend. Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor, Vidya Balan and a few others have posted messages of support for Rhea Chakraborty on “smashing patriarchy”. How does ‘patriarchy’ come into a CBI or NCB run inquiry into Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, we wonder? More so as Rhea Chakraborty’s whatsapp chats aired by Times Now allegedly were an encyclopaedia on drugs and more drugs…
Has anyone noticed that Sonu Sood is still carrying on the good work? He’s helped migrants go back, gifted smart phones to students, sponsored a martial arts school for an 87-year old lady, and now he’s sponsoring scholarships to needy students. This guy is truly a real hero. And all those people who said he’s doing it only for publicity, eat your words, please…
Talking about being accused, why on earth has Soni Razdan dragged Stardust in her squabble with news channels? She had tweeted, “When will news channels actually give us real news and not fabricated spin-offs. Most seem to have turned into uglier more salacious versions of Stardust…’ Excuse me… when did we ever give Soni cause to complaint? …Is it because we don’t feature her at all? Is that it?
Akshay Kumar by the way is on Bear Grylls’s show Into The Wild and we are super excited to see the Khiladi Kumar do what he does best… climb huge tree and jump down water falls… He by the way is supposedly in Scotland shooting, however there is this strange rumour doing the ‘rounds that he’s petrified of corona so he’s actually holed up in almost corona free Canada instead. What? Seriously?
Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora are truly in love. And the grave times in 2020 have cemented it further. They’ve both been diagnosed as corona positive and since both of them are asymptomatic, they’ve isolated themselves in their respective homes. However, their love triumphs even over illness…
We’ve been her staunchest detractors but even we concede that this lady has guts. Yes, we are talking about Kangana Ranaut who has taken direct panga with Bollywood by naming top stars who are involved in drugs. You may call her “Mental” but she’s definitely proved that she’s got more courage than the entire Bollywood for taking on the State, the film industry and so many others. 5
New kid on the block, the hot ‘n’ happening 6 feet 3 Romil Chaudhary is currently the talk of the industry. His back-to-back films showcase him as a lead in never seen powerful avatars. No wonder, he’s being deluged with offers of films and webseries. Chalo, for all those ‘insiders versus outsiders’ raging debates, it’s good to see that Bollywood has suddenly woken up to welcome a new talent with open arms.
Varun Dhawan too in the meantime is spending quality time with his lady love Natasha. In fact, he has publicly acknowledged that “I wont be afraid, just as long as you stand by me.” Wonder what he’s afraid of? Hmm… but the way things are going on in Bollywood, every star needs to be afraid…
But who doesn’t really need to be afraid of anything is the gorgeous Anushka Sharma who is five months pregnant… She’s glowing and looks amazingly happy. Hubby Virat too looks absolutely head over heels in love with the pretty lady. So cute… How’s that for couple goals?
Lockdown time in Bollywood was seriously family time. Ajay Devgn too spent quality time with his wife Kajol and kids Nyasa and Yug. In fact, he recently posted pictures of Yug’s birthday where the little ten-year-old was planting trees with the caption ‘Working towards a Green tomorrow, cannot ask for more…’ Nice. 7
Another star doing great work is Ayushmann Khurrana who has now joined the likes of David Beckham in UNICEF’s campaign to end violence against children. He’s been the poster boy of ‘hat ke films’ and now, he stepped into doing charity work with the same fervour. Amazing work Ayushmann!
Bobby Deol’s foray into the web world seems to be doing him a lot of good. His ‘Class of 83’ got him rave reviews but it was his controversial ‘Ashram’ that has been garnering him accolades from all quarters. Everybody deserves a second chance and it looks like Bobby has struck gold this time ‘round. Good for you, Bobby!
Talking about amazing talent, Anil Kapoor is indeed phenomenal. He’s posted a video of him sprinting on the beach with his trainer. And guess what the caption is: Fitness always comes first, it’s not about the location, it’s about the dedication’. Isn’t this man awesome?
Another awesome couple are Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas. Those two are just adorable and you can see the love pouring out. And to think there were so many hecklers who insisted their marriage wouldn’t last. Ha!
Another adorable lady is none other than our ‘Poo’ all grown up. Yes, we’re talking about our yummy mummy Kareena Kapoor Khan whose having a blast spending quality time with her li’l Taimur. She too is five months pregnant so in no time, there will another li’l cutie pie in the Khan Khandaan. Will the new baby steal Taimur’s thunder? Naah… Taimur is a perennial fave of the nation and he will remain so.
Deepika Padukone by the way has zipped off to Goa for a shoot. After months at home, she has finally resumed work and is supremely happy to do so. Is she missing hubby Ranveer? Of course, she is… we are still counting the many hearts she puts below his posts.
Cat’s Crown This month goes to...
