The summer’s most-awaited Bollywood potboiler is set for release less than a month from now, yet the drama surrounding its lead pair is providing enough real-life action for a thriller of its own.


For those who haven’t guessed already, the film in question is ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, with superstar Salman Khan’s pairing with one-time rumoured beau, Katrina Kaif, bearing the brunt of media scrutiny once again as stories of abuse and mistreatment does the round of the rumour mills.


Kaif’s situation is already being compared to that of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s, who came out to the media several years ago, accusing Khan of physically, mentally and emotionally abusing her during their turbulent courtship that even saw the former beauty queen caught on camera with bruises on several occasion.


The current drama surrounding Khan and Kaif came into the foray once again when rumour mills were abuzz with stories that less than a month ago the hot tempered actor had even hit the “New York” starlet with a stick during the making of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’.


The story alleged that Kaif had walked out of the makeup man in a skimpy outfit and Khan took objection in a violent way.


While neither party has commented on the story, one recalls a similar story that did the rounds at the peak of their alleged romance, where Khan was accused of slapping Kaif in public during an argument.


At last week’s press conference for the Yash Raj Films’ first look of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, Khan made a public jibe at Kaif in front of the press over her nifty moves in the track ‘Maashallah’, saying: “Katrina is very hard working. She rehearses for 5-6 days for every song.


“Today whatever is Katrina, her success rate is because of her sheer hard work. However, I am very talented so I don’t have to work hard.”


This is not the first time such jibes have been dished out, directed towards Kaif.


Sources close to the 27-year-old actress say that Kaif is too much in awe of Khan to ever publicly denounce him, considering it was him who played her godfather in Bollywood to land her some plum roles at the start of her career, which kicked off with the disastrous “Boom”.


A tough price to pay one can say.

Mumbai, Jul 28: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he was left in tears as his daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and granddaughter Aaradhya Bachchan were discharged from hospital after testing negative for coronavirus.

Aishwarya and her eight-year-old daughter, who were shifted to the isolation ward of Nanavati Hospital on July 17, were discharged on Monday.

Amitabh, 77, and his actor-son Abhishek are still in hospital after they were admitted on July 11.

In a post on official blog, the Bollywood veteran said that he became emotional when Aaradhya told him that he would be "back home soon".

"They go home, the little one and Bahurani... and the tears flow out... the little one embraces and tells me not to cry... 'You’ll be home soon', she assures... I must believe her," he said.

On Monday, Abhishek had said that he and his father were still under the care of medical staff at the Nanavati Hospital's isolation ward.

"My father and I remain in hospital under the care of the medical staff. Thank you all for your continued prayers and good wishes. Indebted forever," the 44-year-old actor tweeted.

Both Amitabh and Abhishek have been sharing their health updates with fans on various social media platforms.

Last week, Amitabh had dismissed reports that he had finally tested negative for coronavirus, calling the piece of news "an incorrigible lie".

Mumbai's Covid-19 tally rose to 1,10,129 on Monday with addition of 1,033 new cases.

Chennai, Mar 12: Superstar Rajinikanth on Thursday clarified that he never aspired to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and said his plans for politics include different heads for his prospective party and a possible government headed by it.

In his first official press conference since December 31, 2017, when he announced to take the political plunge, the veteran star also said he planned to appoint as CM, an educated youth who was compassionate and had self-respect.

With a two-leadership system for party and the government, the former would act as an "opposition" to highlight issues and would not even hesitate to "remove", apparently the head of the government, if it fails to perform, he said.

His prospective party would focus on including a substantial amount of youngsters in the age group of below 45 years while the rest would comprise retired judges and IAS and IPS officials among others.

"I myself would reach out to them and invite them," to join him, the 69-year-old actor said.

Contrary to expectations, he however, did not make a concrete statement on floating his party but called for an "uprising" by youth, after which he would make his formal political entry.
