Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor would soon be sharing the same apartment.
Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has cancelled an invitation of former US president Bill Clinton to participate in his Clinton Global Initiative after the terror strikes in Mumbai, saying he wanted to be in the country during this time of crisis.
“I cancelled. I am NOT going to leave my country in this troubled hour to travel to a foreign land to lend cause to a foreign initiative, patronized and guided by a foreigner, for his benefit!! I need to see initiative here in my country,” he wrote in his blog.
Shah Rukh Khan has spoken for the first time about his thoughts on the Mumbai atrocities. Speaking exclusively to Raj and Pablo for this Saturday’s (6 December) ‘Love Bollywood’ Show on BBC Asian Network, Shah Rukh speaks openly about why he hasn’t talked about the attacks till now as well as his views on what the younger generation of Muslims should be concentrating on.
After 26/11, the Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na director who made the brotherly ‘jadoo ki jhappi’ a passion statement after writing Munnabhai, feels a never-before sense of belonging in a city that has never been ravaged.
“Frankly, considering the immensity of the attack this time, I as an Indian Muslim felt scared. I thought there would be a backlash. But call it the power of unity during crisis, not one voice of dissent against the Indian Muslim was heard in the entire city. Not once have I felt accusing eyes looking at me.”
The sister and brother-in-law of Bollywood actor Ashish Choudhary are among the victims of the terror attacks in Mumbai.
Bollywood box office has taken a severe beating in the wake of the recent terror strikes in Mumbai. The two new releases Sorry Bhai and Oye Lucky Lucky Oye opened to disastrous response at the box office. OLLO opened in Mumbai on Saturday to 20% collections whereas in rest of India on Friday to 15-20% collections. Sorry Bhai was a complete washout with a very pathetic 5-10% collections.
The industrywalas were wondering why the makers of these films rushed to release their films in times of such a huge tragedy that left the sentiments of people affected big time. Sorry Bhai would have struggled in any case but Oye Lucky Lucky Oye may have made an impact under normal conditions.
The attacks may have been in Mumbai but the affects on business are there in all the big centres in India. -(SAMPURN)
