Mumbai, Aug 21: Actor Shahid Kapoor feels ex-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor and his "Shaandaar" co-star Alia Bhat share no similarity and should not be compared with each other.

shahidAlia, 22, is often compared with Kareena, 34, and Shahid thinks it is a "big compliment" for the young star that people find similarities between her and the "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" actress.

"It is a big compliment for Alia that we are talking about similarities between her and Kareena. I think there are no comparisons or similarities as they both are different and both have done phenomenal work. Both are fantastic," Shahid told reporters here at the "Shaandaar" trailer launch.

"Kareena is an established actress and Alia is also doing good with the kind of films that she has done. The only common connection is both "Jab We Met' (his film with Kareena) and 'Shaandaar' are love stories," he said.

Shahid, 34, and Kareena will be seen together in Abhishek Chaubey's "Udta Punjab", which also stars Alia.

It will be the former couple's first film since their break-up in 2009 but they are not sharing screen space in the movie.

Shahid, who tied the knot with Delhi girl Mira Rajput last month, avoided questions on his married life at the event.

When asked what 'Shaandaar' gift he got for his wedding, he didn't reply, but Alia said, "We are Shaandaar gifts of his wedding."

Directed by "Queen" helmer Vikas Bahl, the film also stars Shahid's father Pankaj Kapur and actor Sanjay Kapoor.

New Delhi, Jun 6: Actor Ayushmann Khurrana took the internet by storm as he posted a picture of himself in the dark 'Joker' avatar on Saturday.

Artist Swapnil Pawar transformed Khurrana into the 'Joker' through his artwork which the actor posted on his Instagram.

"Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it ... I'm an Agent of Chaos!" Khurrana quoted a famous dialogue from the film 'Joker' in the caption.

The 35-year-old actor, who hasn't played an outright negative role in his career further revealed his fascination for negative characters in the caption.

"Sinister, menacing, evil, cold, conniving yet brilliant, genius - have always thought of playing a negative character like Joker. Thank you @swapnilmpawar for reading my mind and this incredible artwork!" he wrote.

Khurrana believes that though it is good to portray different roles and he would love to play a negative character but the message at the end should be positive.

"I will be happy to play a negative character. I would love to play a morally corrupt person. That will be out of my realm. But the message, at the end of the day, should be positive. I don't want to endorse wrongdoings on screen," he said.

The new look of the 'Article 15' actor won hearts as the post was flooded with scores of comments from his fans.

Mumbai, Jul 27: Reel life villain Sonu Sood turned real life hero once again, this time by gifting a tractor on Sunday to a farmer in a remote village in Andhra Pradesh to help him till the land. The actor came up with the gift after coming through a video clip on Twitter wherein a tomato farmer in Madanapalle in Chittoor district was seen ploughing the land with his two daughters carrying the yoke on their shoulders.

In his instant reaction, Sood promised a pair of ox to the farmer, but later said the family deserved a tractor. "So sending you one. By evening a tractor will be ploughing your fields. Stay blessed," Sood, who acted as a villain in numerous Telugu films, said in a tweet.

True to his word, a new tractor was delivered to the elated farmer Nageswara Rao at his Mahalrajupalle village by Sunday night. Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu, who belongs to Chittoor district, hailed the actor's gesture.

"Spoke with @sonusood ji and applauded him for his inspiring effort to send a tractor to Nageswara Rao's family in Chittoor district. Moved by the plight of the family, I have decided to take care of the education of the two daughters and help them pursue their dreams," Naidu said in a tweet.

Rao's elder daughter completed her Intermediate while the second one passed Class 10. Rao used to run a tea stall in Madanapalle before coronavirus left him out of business. He returned to his native Mahalrajupalle village to take up agriculture once again.

Given his penury, he could not hire either a pair of bulls or a tractor to till the land, when his daughters volunteered to help him on the chores. Their plight went viral on social media following which the actor stepped in with help.
