Everyone knows that Ranveer Singh is extremely close to his set of friends and goes out of his way to ensure he is always there for them. The following instance is a true testament of the bond he shares with his core crew.
“Ranveer has been friends with designer Simone Khambatta since they were 11! They have travelled for trips together and she has been one of his closest friends growing up. Simone is a women’s couture/bridal designer and does bespoke menswear. Ever since Ranveer became a superstar, he has been constantly in and out of Mumbai for his film shoots and endorsements. He realized that thankfully he was in town on the day Simone was showcasing her collection at a two-day wedding (luxury) exhibition and he immediately told his team to clear out his calendar for the day so that he could walk the ramp for Simone and show his support for his dear friend! He wanted to be present at his friend’s special moment,” says an insider.
Simone says, “Ranveer and I go back and long way and we cherish our friendship that has stood the test of time to only grow deeper and stronger. I always knew that he would become a star given his swagger when he danced on Govinda songs on his birthday as a kid. Ranveer is always big on surprises and his decision to walk the ramp for me and be the show-stopper is one of the sweetest gestures that he has done for me. I’m truly touched.”
Ranveer says, “Simone has a unique creative expression as a designer. Shes also been one of my closest friends growing up. I wanted to support her and celebrate her breakthrough moment in the world of fashion. We share fond memories of growing up together, and it makes me immensely proud to be a small part of her achievement. The show’s going to be fantastic and I’m looking forward to it."

Kickstarting Diwali celebrations on a hilarious note, The Kapil Sharma Show will be hosting the entire cast of Housefull 4 this weekend. From Akshay Kumar to Riteish Deshmukh to Bobby Deol and the lovely ladies Kirti Kharbanda, Kriti Sanon, Pooja Hegde along with producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Chunky Pandey will be setting the stage on fire with their presence. What to expect you ask? Candid confessions, pranks, gags, and a whole lot more from this lot!
In conversation, when Kapil Sharma asked the men if their proposal has ever been rejected by the ladies, Akshay Kumar, Riteish, and Bobby, all three had a story to share. Ritesh said that he is still waiting to find out if his proposal was accepted or rejected because he never heard back from the girl he proposed.
Amidst pearls of laughter, Akshay Kumar went on to add that he was shy young man and he went out with a girl a couple of times to cafes and movies. But what he didn't realize at that age was that she was expecting more from the relationship. Said Akshay, “She probably expected me to be a little more romantic in my approach like hold hands or put my arm around her, which I was too shy to do. And she left me!”
Continuing the conversation, Bobby Deol shared that he was in love with a girl but couldn't confess his feelings to her. Bobby shares, “Even I was a shy person and I still am. I was madly in love with a girl in college but very hesitant to confess to her. Once I was sitting a library when she asked me to donate blood for her father.” He thought it is a good chance to initiate the conversation. He adds, “But when I went to donate blood I got nervous looking at the needles and I ended up with high BP due to which I couldn’t donate blood. There I missed the chance of interacting with her and couldn’t get another one.”

Badhaai Ho saw the versatile actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who is known for the best content cinemas coming out of India, deliver his first Rs. 100 crore blockbuster. On its first anniversary, Ayushmann reveals why he chose this script that dealt with the taboo topic of middle-aged pregnancy.
“Badhaai Ho gave me my first 100 crore superhit. So, it will always be a very special film in my filmography. I think I pushed the envelope a little bit further by choosing another script that was about a taboo topic that was not explored in detail. I wanted to tell the story of what a family goes through if a middle-aged couple suddenly gets pregnant,” Ayushmann tells.
The actor says he is delighted that Badhaai Ho sparked a national conversation. “It gave people a lot of laughs but I hope it also taught people more about love, unconditional love. It was meant to trigger a thought, spark a conversation and I’m delighted that Badhaai Ho did all this in its own unique way,” he says. Ayushmann, who has stamped his authority in choosing the best scripts churned out the industry, calls Badhaai Ho a brilliantly written film and credits the think-tank for its success.
“I have always chosen films because of their uniqueness of content and Badhaai Ho was a script that I wanted to back from the word go. It was a brilliant idea and an even more brilliant script written by Akshat Ghildial and Shantanu Srivastava. It was incredibly directed by Amit Sharma, who I consider, one of the best directors of today’s time and I applaud our producer Priti Sahani for her vision to back this film,” he signs off.

Commenting on the idea of recreating the cult song that became a rage in the early 2000s', composer duo Sachin-Jigar says, "The song certainly brings back our college memories and I'm sure it's one of the most popular songs that all of us have danced to. We have taken a few ideas and lovely hookline from the original song. There's a lovely flute piece which we have tried to reuse and tried to make it sound more timely and relevant for the youth to enjoy it and at the same time retain Sachin Jigar flavour to it."
"The song is relevant to the narrative of the film and we really took up the challenge to redo it in our way. In fact, the bigger challenge was to keep the dignity and the legacy of the original song intact," the composer duo adds.
The peppy dance number goes well with the movie theme and will surely receive thumbs up from the music buffs this festive season.

I had to watch the film again to understand it. Then, I was like ‘this is it, man?’ This is what I want in my life.”

read moreRaj Kapoor had this advice to give Karisma Kapoor when she said she wants to become an actor
Actress Karisma Kapoor recently got featured in the Humans of Bombay post, where she spoke about the advice she got from her grandfather Raj Kapoor. As a child, Karisma would visit her grandfather on the sets of his film. She said that it was when she was on the sets of Ram Teri Ganga Maili that she knew she wanted to be an actor and contribute to the family legacy. When she told her grandfather about acting, he said, “It’s glamourous but it’s not a bed of roses—you will have to work very hard.” The advice stayed on with the actress.
Karisma Kapoor said that she wanted to act on the advice but her inner voice made her doubt herself. “But what motivated me, was how grounded my mom kept me. Despite being from an ‘illustrious’ family, she made us live a simple life. My sister & I travelled by school bus & went to college by local trains. I didn’t want to falter & let anybody down. But she said that until I try, I’d never know. That’s when I signed my first film—a remake of a South Indian movie,” she further said.
Karisma then faced several highs and lows in her career. The actress said that she had worked hard on a song titled ‘Sexy Sexy’. But people told her that the song was way ahead of its time, but appreciated her dancing skills. It was her mother who told her that she cannot let one roadblock affect her job. “So even when I was offered Dil Toh Pagal Hai, when no actress wanted to be cast against Madhuri Dixit. I didn’t want to shy away because ‘I thought I couldn’t do it’. I did the film & even won a National Award for it,” Karisma said.
Karisma Kapoor has been a part of several hit films including Andaz Apna Apna, Raja Hindustani, Hum Saath Saath Hain and Biwi No 1 among others.
read moreEXCLUSIVE: Anees Bazmee opens up about how he has stayed relevant after 30 years in the film industry
Filmmaker Anees Bazmee is one of Hindi cinema’s success stories. Having delivered blockbusters like Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, No Entry, Welcome, Welcome Back and Singh Is King, his films were synonymous with family entertainment, ensuring that top stars flock to his projects.
Anees Bazmee, who is currently busy with the shooting of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, is also gearing up for his next directorial Pagalpanti. In the meantime, he is also set to start mentoring young and aspiring writers. He began his journey in the tinsel town as a film writer. The director has written some of David Dhawan’s most successful films- like Deewana Mastana, Shola Aur Shabnam, Aankhen, Raja Babu or Mujhse Shaadi Karogi among others.
Anees Bazmee says it doesn't feel like he has completed 30 years in the industry. Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Hungama, Bazmee revealed. "You know, I still can't believe it. The terms like 30 years, 40 years I only get to know when someone informs me that. I will be very honest with you, I feel like I have only completed 6 - 8 months only. I have these posters and banners put up in my office and I see and sometimes wonder 'Yeh picture kab lagi thi?' And I don't even watch my films. Sometimes, if it's on TV or something but I don't watch my films after it's done. Whatever films I have written or directed, I try to not watch it after it releases. Because subconsciously, you end up thinking about the good and bad parts about it. So, what I do or write, I don't watch and I don't remember also. I like to think about new stuff and what new can be done. "
"Even now, I get nervous when I start to write a film. I wonder what if I won't be able to write it, I have written so many but I won't be able to do it. Then, I try to console myself. Even now, when it's the first day of the direction, I get very nervous. So that nervousness, anxiety, and excitement - this isn't made up, this all is there," he said.
"With films, you can't be sure that it will work 100 percent. It is just your experience and involvement like 'Yeah! This is good.' We can't be sure before Friday what will happen. But, yeah, there's some grammar and to learn it takes a lot of time. When you understand it, then the maximum time it works. There's this saying that when you understand the pulse of the audience, you get to know what might work. After writing so many films and having so many young people on board, I don't like to keep the communication gap. I write a lot of stuff and read a lot. Even the seventh assistant should come to me and say that 'Sir, this doesn't seem alright.' I feel like it is not easy to stay relevant for a long period of time. It requires constant effort for reinvention," he said when asked about how he has managed to stay relevant after 30 years.
Coming back to his upcoming projects, Anees Bazmee is gearing up for his next release Pagalpanti which stars an ensemble of John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Pulkit Samrat, Ileana D'Cruz, Urvashi Rautela, Kriti Kharbanda, and Saurabh Shukla. The film is releasing on November 22, 2019.
Besides this, he is also helming Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani. It is slated for 2020 release.

He is ready to experiment with roles, and it was time he was offered something like this. I am sure the audience will connect with the film.”

Some of the best names of Bollywood graced the recently held IIFA awards and also put up some dazzling performances. Bothers Ayushmann Khurrana and Aparshkati Khurana, who turned hosts for this year's IIFA night, were also seen having some impromptu fun. One such spontaneous act was when they decided to go down to the celebrities seated in the audience area and ask them who would they like to see locked up in the Bigg Boss house.
When Ayushmann threw the same question to Vicky Kaushal, the latter took Ranveer Singh's name. "Mujhe dekhna hai, kaise ye ghar unhe rok sakta hai," he said, leaving everyone in splits! This left Ranveer and wife Deepika Padukone laughing too. Knowing Ranveer's unmatched energy, locking him inside a house for weeks would be a task indeed.

We don't know if Nushrat is a Saawariya fan, but she takes Ranbir Kapoor's name! 'Alia bhi yahin hai,' Ayushmann wittily reminds her. Alia took it quite sportingly, though.
