Shah Rukh, Salman's dance at Sonam Kapoor's reception goes viral

May 9, 2018

Mumbai, May 9: Actor Sonam Kapoor's reception looked like a compilation of visuals straight out of the '90s Bollywood as contemporaries Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor indulged in bromance by dancing together to their old numbers.

The who's and who of Bollywood, including Kareena Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai, Kangana Ranaut, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt, attended Sonam and Anand Ahuja's reception last evening.

But it was the camaraderie shared by the bride's father and his contemporaries that was the highlight of the evening and became one of the most shared moments online.

Shah Rukh came hand-in-hand with wife Gauri minutes before midnight, while Salman followed half-an-hour later with his "Race 3" co-star Jacqueline Fernandez.

The two stars joined Anil on the stage and started matching steps on hits such as "Tan Tana Tan", "Ek Do Teen" and "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi". The three stars soon pulled the newlyweds on to the stage.

Salman also channelised the singer within by taking the mic and crooning with singer Mika and occasionally making Shah Rukh join him.

In one of the viral moments, both Shah Rukh and Salman got down on their knees and sang "Yeh Bandhan Toh Pyar Ka Bandhan Hai" for Anil's wife Sunita.

In the film, "Karan Arjun", this is the song the actors sing for their mother, played by Rakhee.

An embarrassed Sunita tried to leave the stage, but the duo did not let her until they finished the song.

The evening also saw energetic performances by Sonam's second cousin, Arjun Kapoor and actors Ranveer Singh and Varun Dhawan.

Other Bollywood stars, who were seen dancing, were Kareena, who happily shook a leg to husband Saif Ali Khan's song, "Ole Ole", Swara Bhaskar and Karan Johar, who gave a solo performance on songs from his and Sonam's films such as "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo", "Sajan Ji Ghar Aaye" and "Shava Shava".

A group of family and friends grooved to Sonam's hit song "Gal Mithhi Mithhi Bol" in a synchronised fashion.

Sonam and Anand tied the knot on Tuesday afternoon in a Sikh ceremony.

New Delhi, Jun 22: Amidst a strain in the ties between India and Nepal, actor Manisha Koirala, a Nepali national, on Monday urged people of both the countries to be not "aggressive and disrespectful" towards each other.

Koirala, a leading Bollywood actor of her times, took to Twitter to request people to let the respective government resolve the issues and stay "civil."

"A heartfelt request please let's not be aggressive and disrespectful..we are in this situation together..our respective Gov's will resolve the issue. In the meantime we can be civil ..I remain hopeful," she tweeted.

Earlier last week, Nepal 's Upper House of Parliament endorsed a proposal to discuss the Constitution amendment bill to update the country's map that incorporates parts of Indian territory.

Nepal's House of Representatives had on June 10 endorsed a proposal seeking consideration of a constitution amendment bill for change of country's map after a lengthy discussion. Nepal has made offers to India to hold "diplomatic talks to resolve the territorial issue" between the two countries.

New Delhi has said that the updated map is "not based on historical facts and evidence" and termed the claims by Nepal as artificial enlargement.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava also said that the move is violative of the current understanding to hold talks on outstanding boundary issues.

Los Angeles, May 24: Hollywood star Salma Hayek says her daughter Valentina Pinault is a talented 12 year old who wants to be a director and star as a lead in a film one day.

The Oscar-nominated actor shares Valentina with husband, French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault.

Hayek said she has confidence in her daughter's abilities and believes she has a long way to go.

"She has so many talents. She draws, she wants to shoot movies - both as a director and as the lead - and she writes great pieces. Sometimes when I read her work, I have an urge to produce these stories.

"But she tells me that she will do it by herself when she's older. I don't know what's coming next for her but it seems that she has a lot of ways to go," the actor told HELLO! magazine.

Hayek, 53, added she is concerned about Valentina who has always lived a sheltered life.

"Valentina has always done what she wanted, I've never made her do anything and this means she hasn't yet learned how to oppose pressure, how to overcome obstacles.

"I know by experience that only the overcoming of some difficulties can lead you in the right direction," she said.

Mumbai, Jul 25: Movie theatres have been shuttered for months due to the coronavirus pandemic in the country, but the Information and Broadcasting Ministry has now recommended that the Union Home Ministry allow cinema halls to reopen in August. 

I&B Secretary Amit Khare indicated this at a close-door industry interaction with the CII Media Committee on Friday. He said Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla at the Home Ministry would take the final call.

Khare said that he has recommended that cinema halls may be allowed to reopen all over India as early as August 1, or at the latest, around August 31.

The formula suggested is that alternate seats in the first row and then the next row be kept vacant, and proceeding in this fashion throughout.

Khare said that his ministry's recommendation takes into consideration the two metre social distancing norm, but tweaks it gently to two yards instead. The Home Ministry, however, still has to revert on the recommendation.

Cinema owners, present in the interaction, however, pushed back and said this formula is unwise and merely running films at 25% auditorium capacity is worse than keeping the cinemas shut.

The attendees at the meet included media CEOs like N.P. Singh of Sony, Sam Balsara (Madison), Megha Tata, (Discovery), Gaurav Gandhi (Amazon Prime), Manish Maheshwari (Twitter), S. Sivakumar (Bennett Coleman and Co Ltd), and K Madhavan, Star & Disney, and also Chairman, CII Media Committee.

The OTT platforms present, including Gandhi of Amazon Prime, did not push back. Some Bollywood producers, notably those of Amitabh Bachchan's Gulabo Sitabo, have posted their movies on OTT, rather than live out the lockdown uncertainty.
