Then there are reports on how Ranbir Kapoor has been ‘cold’ to Alia in public of late. Upon checking with one of Alia and Ranbir’s closest friends on how far these right rumours are right, he said, “Who said they didn’t meet on her birthday? Right now, Ranbir has his father’s health issues to deal with. He is  taking this time out from work (due to the coronavirus scare) to be with his parents as much as possible. And Alia is all for Ranbir’s family-time plans.”

As for being “cold” to Alia, the friend says, “Ranbir is known to be moody. People close to him have learnt to deal with his moods. There are days when he  doesn’t speak to anybody.”

We also cecked with Alia Bhatt about the rift rumours and her response was, “What rubbish, haha.”

As the iconic Karan Arjun clocks 25 years, Salman Khan calls it a special film

As the iconic Karan Arjun clocks 25 years, Salman Khan calls it a special film

Speaking about the same to a news agency, Salman called it a special film, emphasising that this was the film that brought him and Shah Rukh together for the first time. He also rightly pointed out that it was a complete entertainment package that remains relevant even today.

Rakesh Roshan, who helmed the film, said he wanted to use the theme of reincarnation that was pretty popular by then, but faced plenty of criticism when he tried spinning the story around two brothers. Hence, he decided to go about the mother-son relationship being discovered. He also said that he was confident about making audience feel the depth of every dialogue, and that is precisely why it remains popular even today.

Karan Arjun also starred Rakhee Gulzar, Mamta Kulkarni and Kajol in other pivotal roles.

"Aaj kal kuch Kapoor logon pe time bhaari hai"- says Rishi Kapoor, after singer Kanika Kapoor tests positive for Covid-19

Yesterday, singer Kanika Kapoor, who returned to Lucknow from London on 15th March, tested positive for Covid-19, and is presently kept quarantined, along with her family. Kanika was accused of hiding her travel history, dodging the screening at airport after she landed and partying with hundred-odd people at a lavish Lucknow hotel.

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor took to Twitter to express his concern but also added a humorous touch to it. “Aaj kal kuch “Kapoor” logon pe time bhaari hai. Darta hoon. Hey Malik raksha karna doosre “Kapoor-on” ki! Koi galat kaam na ho kabhi. Jai Mata Di,” he wrote, also sharing a photo of Kanika.

In another tweet, he also wondered why the concerned hotel did not have any screening facilities. “Think. Chalo Delhi airport se to nikal gayi. Why an establishment like The Taj Lucknow Hotel didn’t have the facility to screen visitors? After all the Taj is a huge name and a property. Surely they could have detected,” he wrote.

An FIR has also been filed against Kanika for her alleged irresponsible act. However, she denied meeting a hundred people or partying after her return.

Kapoor, on the other hand, is not just concerned about the rapid spread of Coronavirus in the country but also expressed his worry over neighbouring country Pakistan’s situation. A day back, on Twitter, he urged Pakistan PM Imran Khan to take necessary precautions, saying Indians were ‘concerned’ about them.

Sonu Nigam extends his stay in Dubai after Indian Government curbs international travels

Singer Sonu Nigam, who was in Dubai since 5th March and was scheduled to return to India this week, has now had to extend his stay. The Government of India, as a measure to deal with the rampant spread of Covid-19, has curbed all international travels for the time being. Speaking to a leading daily, Nigam said he decided to join his family members in Dubai and stay there till March 17th after his Mumbai concert got canned.

However, he now needs to stay back unless the situation regains normalcy. He said he did not want to return to the country, quarantine himself and put pressure on the authorities who are struggling to manage a hefty number of people quarantined already. At the same time, he says he could also be potentially dangerous to his father and sister living in India, and would not want to expose them to any such risk. As he rightly put it, boarding a flight with so many other passengers did not seem like a good idea either.

While his concert remains called off for now, Nigam will soon hold a virtual music concert for his fans worldwide, which will stream through his social media handles.

FIR filed against Kanika Kapoor after she tests positive for Coronavirus; Babul Supriyo slams her

Hours after Kapoor’s behaviour was exposed, a  prominent female singer, who wishes to remain anonymous, described Kanika’s behaviour as uncivil and socially inappropriate. “She is a disgrace to our film fraternity. Her behaviour projects the entire entertainment industry as shallow, hypocritical and insensitive. She should be punished by the law,” said the co-singer.

In fact, sources reveal that the Uttar Pradesh government is poised to file an FIR against Kanika Kapoor  for putting the country in danger. Many parts of Lucknow near to where Kannika resided and partied were locked down after Kanika’s indiscreet health-hazardous conduct was outed.

Commenting on her conduct singer and BJP cabinet minister Babul Supriyo said, “This is very inappropriate and ‘Baby Doll-ish’ behaviour. But I hope she recovers soon and I wish everyone who partied with her would remain uncontaminated. The host of the party and the guests who attended are equally guilty of a highly irresponsible act.”
