New Delhi, Nov 17: Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has posted a clarification on social media after reports of his car meeting with an accident in Kolkata swiftly became viral. On Thursday, new agency reported that the wheel of Big B's car came off while he was on his way to the Kolkata airport. However, the 75-year-old superstar rubbished the reports and tweeted, "I am informed by concerned well-wishers and media, that I had a close escape from a car accident in Kolkata .. that is incorrect .. there has been no accident .. I am well." Big B was in Kolkata last week to inaugurate the 23rd edition of the Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF), which was also attended by Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Kamal Haasan and other stars.

The news agency report quoted a senior secretariat member, who said, "The wheel on the left rear-end of the Mercedes carrying Bachchan got detached from the vehicle on Dufferin Road when he was going to the airport to catch a flight for Mumbai. The car was provided by a travel agency and we have show-caused it over the incident." He also added that an initial investigation led to the discovery that the vehicle's "certificate of fitness" had expired.

Meanwhile, a video of Shah Rukh Khan, riding in the backseat of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Santro, is being extremely loved by Twitter. In the video, Ms Banerjee drops SRK at the Kolkata airport after the KIFF event.

Amitabh Bachchan celebrated his granddaughter Aaradhya (Aishwarya and Abhishek's daughter) sixth birthday in Mumbai on Thursday. His upcoming releases are 102 Not Outand Thugs Of Hindostan.

New Delhi, Jun 24: Actor Bhumi Pednekar supported migrant labourers traveling long distances amid the coronavirus pandemic, in a rather unique way- by donating footwear to them.

The gut-wrenching images of migrants walking barefoot on the roads made the 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor take the plunge to help them.

Pednekar joined hands with a footwear company and a volunteer-based non-government organisation - The Robin Hood Army - to help the underprivileged with footwear.

The actor helped over 1000 migrant labourers in and around Ghaziabad in Murad Nagar, Govindpuram, Vijay Nagar, and distributed footwear among men and women across age-groups.

"Hello folks. @ritawilson and I want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us. We have COVID-19 and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else.

"There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time.There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no?" Hanks posted on Instagram.

The post was accompanied by a photograph that showed the couple smiling.

Hanks announced on Thursday that he and his wife have been tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The actor couple, who is currently in Australia to shoot for the pre-production of Baz Luhrmann's untitled Elvis Presley film, decided to get tested after they felt "a bit tired".

Washington, May 26: Making a slight change to the name of their newborn, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his singer girlfriend Grimes have now named their first child X AE A-Xii.

The difference is only in the numeral part of the name which is now written in the Roman format.

Earlier this month, the celebrity couple hogged headlines for naming their son X AE A-12.

The change in the name came when an Instagram follower of the Canadian singer asked if she had considered changing the name of the child and she replied with, "X AE A-Xii."

However, the performer didn't provide further insight concerning the reason behind the change.

Canadian singer Grimes gave birth to her first child on May 4.

The 32-year-old had earlier taken to Twitter and explained the meaning of the baby's name.
