Zohra SehgalMumbai, Jul 12: Fondly remembering Zohra Sehgal, Shah Rukh Khan today recalled how even at the the age of 102, the actress was the "naughtiest young girl" he ever came across while Amitabh Bachchan said her "spirit" was admirable.

Melody queen Lata Mangeshkar also took to Twitter to pay a tribute to the grand dame of Bollywood, who last evening in a hospital in the capital following a cardiac arrest.

"Zohra Sehgal ji ek behtreen theatre artist aur film actress thi. unko meri bhavpurna shraddhanjali (Zohra Sehgal was a great theatre and film artiste. My heartfelt tribute to her.)," Mangeshkar, 84, tweeted.

Shah Rukh, who worked with Sehgal in films like 'Dil Se', 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' and 'Veer-Zaara', said he will miss Sehgal.

"A journey of million miles overloaded with smiles. Even at a 100 plus I have yet to meet a naughtier young girl. Will miss you Zohra," SRK posted on Twitter.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who had worked with Sehgal in 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' and 'Cheeni Kum', tweeted his condolences from Brazil.

"Zohra Sehgal... she epitomised life, living and its zest .. a spirit that could shame a teenager, and a smile that lit up," Bachchan posted.

Actress-turned-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt, who worked with Zohra in '1997 film 'Tamanna', shared an anecdote about how the legendary actress wanted champagne instead of tea or coffee on sets of the film.

"A long life is not what I seek. A full life? Yes indeed. Dear God-May I have the gall & desire for champagne & life a la. Had the privilege of working with her on my first film as a producer- 'Tamanna'. 'Champagne' she exclaimed when offered tea or coffee," Bhatt posted.

Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha said, "Very sad to hear about Zohra Sehgal's demise. 102 years of greatness. RIP Zohra Sehgal."

Washington, Jul 16: Actor Chris Evans, better known as 'Captain America', made a six-year-old boy's day by sending him a personalised video message lauding his heroic act of saving his younger sister from a dog attack.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the aunt of the young boy (Bridger Walker from Cheyenne) posted on Instagram the story of how the boy saved his sister on July 9 and was horribly injured in the process.

She shared the story on the photo-sharing platform on Sunday and also posted few photos featuring the brother-sister duo as well as pictures of the injuries on Walker's face.

"After receiving 90 stitches (give or take) from a skilled plastic surgeon, he's finally resting at home," wrote the aunt (Nikki Walker).
"We love our brave boy and want all the other superheroes to know about this latest hero who joined their ranks," she added.

Moved by the young boy's story, Evans made a direct video message appreciating the boy for what he did, and how he is no less than a superhero.

He also promised to send the young kid an authentic 'Captain America' shield as a reward for his selfless, heroic act.

Evans' video message to the young boy was shared by the aunt on her Instagram profile.
In the video, Evans is saying, "Pal, you're a hero, what you did was so brave, so selfless -- your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother.

Your parents must be so proud of you," Evans said in a video message that the family shared Wednesday. "Keep being the man you are, we need people like you. Hang in there, I know recovery might be tough, but based on what I've seen, I don't think there's much that can slow you down."

Towards the end, the 39-year-old actor told the boy he was sending the 'Captain America' shield to him, as the world needs more bravehearts like the little boy.

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.
