One minute they are locked in bashful fun, and the next they are taking potshots at each other. Or at least, one of them is.


Dating a superstar doesn’t get more complicated than this.


As ex-lovers Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan attempted to give Bollywood break-up traditions a matured twist by reuniting on-screen, four-and-a- half-years since they ended their romantic sojourn, only to get caught up in another emotional drama of their own.


They were caught, on camera during the promotion of their new movie ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, being indifferent to one another. “During an interview for a leading Indian television channel, the interviewer was caught unawares when Salman and Katrina wouldn’t look at each other,” reveals a crew member. “Salman kept looking elsewhere while she talked. He was even blowing bubbles and mocking her.”


Although Kat took it in the chin, her discomfort was clearly evident.


His strange behaviour was consistent in other televised interviews as well. “It amazes me how Katrina puts up with it. He’s so temperamental.


It’s tough to comprehend what he is up to. One minute he is laughing and the next, he’s walking out in a huff,” claims another media personality. Wonder if his sudden change in mood was triggered by reports of Katrina’s secret date with Ranbir Kapoor, just days ahead of the ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ release.


“Salman is known to be possessive about his women, so his behaviour could be an outcome of those stories,” reasons another film source.


It got to a point where Katrina refused to do any more promotional work with Salman under the pretext of poor health. “He had to return to the studios of the same TV channel to meet his fans, but without his lady by his side. Surely she was not going to take things sitting down,” adds the crew member.


“Katrina isn’t someone who makes a hue and cry about such cases, so she preferred to stay away from the madness.”


Salman, however, attempted to salvage the situation by praising and complimenting her for getting this far in Bollywood on her own. “His efforts did make an impact as we soon caught images of Sallu and Kat enjoying an evening out with his family. They were together, and there was no love lost,” informs a reporter.


Another shoot for a dance telly show caught them getting cozy, leaving the audience rather confused. “Does this mean they are back together? Are they just a dysfunctional couple?” asks many fans. Clearly he is unable to let her go, and she is unable to say no because he is, in fact, the person who made her a star. If you recall, Salman and Katrina were once a hot couple, until his ego took a massive blow when she refused to give up her new-found celeb status to set up his home.


Her sudden meteoric rise to fame from a damsel in distress into a famed star was something that Salman hadn’t quite planned, nor had she.


Soon, rifts in the love story appeared despite talks of their marriage making the rounds.


Salman was seen throwing tantrums and giving her the royal snub at the promotions of their then box-office turkey ‘Yuvvraj’. “He even refused to sit next to her during the press meet in Mumbai,” recalls an entertainment reporter. “And, all the while she just smiled her way through.”


Many news reports later emerged that it was her proximity to a new-star- on-the-block that had triggered the worst side in Salman, and their eventual break-up.


They did make rare appearances for telly shows, and for random item songs, but the uneasiness was there for everyone to see.


Wonder if the success of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ will trigger another round of romance, or not.

Mumbai, Apr 29: Irrfan Khan, one of India's finest and most versatile actors, lost his battle with a rare form of cancer and died in a Mumbai hospital on Wednesday, a statement from his family said. He was 54

Irrfan, who was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumour in 2018, is survived by his wife Sutapa and his sons Babil and Ayaan.

It is the second tragedy for the family in less than a week. The ?Maqbool? actor lost his mother, 95-year-old Saeeda Begum, in Jaipur just four days ago and could not attend the funeral because of the nationwide lockdown.

Irrfan, that rare actor who straddled multiple worlds, making his mark in both international and Indian cinema in roles intense and light-hearted, was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital with a colon infection

?It's saddening that this day, we have to bring forward the news of him passing away. Irrfan was a strong soul, someone who fought till the very end and always inspired everyone who came close to him. After having been struck by lightning in 2018 with the news of a rare cancer, he took life soon after as it came and he fought the many battles that came with it,? the statement from his family said

?Surrounded by his love, his family for whom he most cared about, he left for heavenly abode, leaving behind truly a legacy of his own. We all pray and hope that he is at peace. And to resonate and part with his words he had said, 'As if I was tasting life for the first time, the magical side of it',? it added.

The news of his death was first confirmed by his "Piku" director Shoojit Sircar who sent his condolences to the family and doffed his hat to the actor's fighting spirit

"My dear friend Irfaan. You fought and fought and fought. I will always be proud of you.. we shall meet again.. condolences to Sutapa and Babil.. you too fought, Sutapa you gave everything possible in this fight. Peace and Om shanti. Irfaan Khan salute," the director said on Twitter.

Irrfan's death came the morning after news that he had been admitted to the ICU with a colon infection.

The self-effacing National Award winner, who acted in films as diverse as ?Life of Pi?, ?The Namesake? and ?Haasil?, had stayed away from the public eye after his diagnosis in 2018 when he went to the UK for treatment.

He returned home in 2019 and shot for "Angrezi Medium", the sequel to his 2017 hit "Hindi Medium". However, his health condition prevented him from promoting the movie, which hit the theatres in March just before the lockdown that began on March 25.

New Delhi, Mar 4: Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar, who is all set to make her acting debut opposite Akshay Kumar in Prithviraj, says she's has always been interested in history.

"While growing up, I was really interested in history, the tales of grand kingdoms and larger than life historical heroes. I had always been fascinated with the story of Prithviraj and Sanyogita and life came to a full circle for me when I was offered this film," Manushi said.

Directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, Prithviraj is based on the life and heroism of the king Prithviraj Chauhan. It stars Akshay in the title role while Manushi plays Sanyogita, the love of his life.

For Manushi, being offered Prithviraj by Aditya Chopra was a sweet coincidence. She reveals, 'While growing up, I was really interested in history, the tales of grand kingdoms and larger than life historical heroes.'

The glamourous girl, who has been voted the most desirable woman in the recent past, reveals that she is 'blessed' to be playing the role of the gorgeous Rajput princess.

'When I was given the narration of the film, I had a smile on my face thinking that I’m listening to a story that I had been most interested about reading in school. Prithviraj and Sanyogita is a fascinating story and a beautiful chapter in the history of India and I’m blessed and fortunate to have got the opportunity to bring Princess Sanyogita’s story to life,' she says.

Manushi’s Bollywood debut is being directed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi who directed the biggest television epic 'Chanakya', based on the life and times of the most influential political strategist of India, and the multiple award-winning Pinjar.

'Prithviraj' will release worldwide in Diwali 2020.
