Govinda's son meets with a car accident, and this isn't the first time

Image
Govinda’s son Yashvardhan was involved in a car accident last Wednesday evening. This is not the first time Yashvardhan has been in a car accident. In 2005 the boy was in a car crash with his mother and sister where they nearly lost their lives. Govinda’s wife and two children escaped unhurt although the car somersaulted three times. At that time Govinda had said to me during an interview, “I don’t know how their lives were spared. Bhagwan ka chamatkar tha. But I lost a dear friend in the accident. I’ve got at least 20-25 yagyas performed for the safety of my family. I’ve gone to numerous temples and dargah to seek blessings. Kahin na kahin bade-buzurgon ka aashirwaad kaam aa gaya. This too shall pass. Haan, lekin mere saath  atee (excessive) ho gaya hai. My mother’s blessings are with me. I spend about four hours a day on prayers. I’ve no other means of protecting myself.

The actress has now signed a two-year multimillion-dollar first-look television deal with Amazon, according to Variety. "I didn’t think as a 13-year-old when I was watching TV that something was missing, but now as I’m older, I wonder if I would have been a lot more confident in high school if I would have not been afraid of every other person that looked different than me,” said Chopra Jonas. “I wonder if I wouldn’t have put my head down and walked in the hallways feeling like a unicorn that everyone was staring at. I wonder if that would have changed my high school experience. I think it would have.” Priyanka Chopra already has a couple of projects in the pipeline with Amazon.

"Can you create a Salman Khan or a Tiger Shroff on digital platforms?": Exhibitors talk to moviegoers about post lockdown scenario and a lot more!

Image
Since the beginning of the Coronavirus-induced lockdown, there have been multiple webinars and talks between producers and exhibitors on how to take forward the operations in the post-lockdown world. However, none of these tried to find out what the viewers have in their minds and what they desire once the theatres open. Do they have any suggestions or fear? On Saturday June 6, a unique webinar took place where prominent exhibitor Akshaye Rathi got fellow exhibitors on board and also around 30-40 moviegoers. The latter got a chance to give their suggestions and clear their doubts from the exhibitors themselves over a two-hour video meeting. By now, the moviegoers are fully aware that once theatres are allowed to resume operations, they will be taking sanitation very seriously. Temperature checks of all moviegoers and staffers, placement of hand sanitizers at regular intervals inside the premises, enforcement of social distancing etc would be adhered to. Hence, very few questions wer

Two representatives from Yash Raj Films were present at the police station. The actor spoke to a news channel saying he is shocked that no one from Yash Raj Films has called him to even check on his son since the car that hit belonged to Yash Chopra’s wife.

Farhan Akhtar responds to Abhay Deol’s claim of being called supporting actor in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Image
Ever since the nepotism controversy erupted again, another issue that was majorly discussed is the lobbying that leads to grabbing awards. Actor Abhay Deol pointed it out that during Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara , he and Farhan Akhtar were demoted to supporting cast during the award ceremonies whereas Hrithik Roshan was addressed as the lead actor. In an Instagram post, he wrote, “I would like to mention that almost all the award functions demoted me and Farhan from main leads, and nominated us as ‘supporting actors’. Hrithik and Katrina were nominated as ‘actors in a leading role’. So by the industry’s own logic, this was a film about a man and a woman falling in love, with the man supported by his friends for whatever decisions he takes.” “There are many covert and overt ways in which people in the industry lobby against you. In this case, it was shamelessly overt. I of course boycotted the awards but Farhan was ok with it,” he added. Farhan Akhtar reacted to the post by stating that

Asha Negi, who played the role of Sushant Singh Rajput’s daughter on the show, recently posted a video about Pavitra Rishta being available on the channel’s OTT platform. She thanked everyone for showering love on her when she played the role of Poorvi and it did not sit well with one of the fans that she did not mention Sushant Singh Rajput. The actor died by suicide two weeks ago and needless to say, it left the television industry shook to the very core. Asha thanked everyone by captioning her video as, “It was a life-changing experience to be a part of #pavitrarishta. Working with the best cast and crew, this show was bound to be the no. 1 show at the time..I received a lot of love from the fans as Poorvi and still cherish my days working with the team”. A fan commented, “You never spoke or mentioned anything for Sushant”, to which Asha gave a befitting reply by saying that, “Is it that important to follow the trend and mention about how you feel on social media? Can a person not

Actor Orlando Bloom and singer Katy Perry will soon be welcoming their first child together. As the couple is ready to enter a new phase in their lives, their marriage has been postponed amid coronavirus pandemic. Recently, the singer revealed she had hit rock bottom after splitting with Bloom briefly in 2017. In a new interview with SiriusXM's CBC Radio One, Katy said, "My career was on this trajectory when it was going up, up, and up, and then I had the smallest shift, not that huge from an outside perspective. But for me it was seismic." "I had broken up with my boyfriend, who is now my baby daddy-to-be and then I was excited about flying high off the next record," she shared. "But the validation did not make me high, and so I just crashed." "Gratitude is probably the thing that saved my life because if I did not find that I would have wallowed in my own sadness and probably just jumped," she further said. "But I found the ways to

These films were Akshay Kumar’s horror comedy Laxmmi Bomb , Ajay Devgn’s war saga Bhuj – The Pride Of India , Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film Dil Bechara , Mahesh Bhatt’s directorial comeback Sadak 2 , Abhishek Bachchan’s stock market drama The Big Bull , Kunal Kemmu’s comic caper Lootcase and Vidyut Jammwal’s action love story Khuda Hafiz . It led to a lot of anger among the exhibitors and multiplex owners since theatres have been shut since more than 3 months and are expected to not resume operations for another one month at least. They have been bleeding and they fear that these 7 films skipping theatrical release will hurt them and also set a dangerous precedent. However, today, there has been another development that will bring cheer not only to exhibitors but also to film buffs. 2 of the most awaited
