AmitabhMumbai Nov 7: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is known for his use of social media in order to share his views about films and also society in general. Recently the legendary actor was seen joining the national cleaning campaign announced by the Prime Minister of India. He took broom in hand and cleaned the streets.

But Big B was not done yet. Now Amitabh has come out to encourage construction of toilets for women in rural as well as urban areas and also stressed on teaching children about cleanliness. He posted on Twitter, "Build that toilet at home, at the village, at the work place... AND build special ones for the WOMEN. Educate the children towards cleanliness... they shall follow what is taught at this age for life..."

He also advised people to practice what they preach and to start cleaning up themselves rather than waiting for someone else to do the job. He further wrote- "Swach India! Do what you preach yourself... clean the place with your own hands than leave it for another to do... I do!!” He also pointed out the fact that initially there can be criticisms, but the outcome will silence all - "Criticism and cynicism shall accompany all good intent... but outcome shuts them up... I did that on many an occasion: Polio eg,"

He also highlighted the issue of equal sanitation facilities by tweeting, "For god's sake do not segregate toilets between the boss and the worker... let it be general for all... it will be healthier!!" It is worth remembering that at one time Amitabh Bachchan was the face of the anti-polio campaign in India. He was also made a Goodwill Ambassador for Unicef for his contribution to polio eradication.

Big B is currently in Kolkata shooting for director Shoojit Sircar’s film ‘Piku’. The film explores father daughter relationship and also stars Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan. The actor has been sharing photos from the sets through Twitter and Facebook. Some marketing experts had indirectly cautioned the star in not doing so as it may hurt the promotion of the film. But Big B has defended his actions on social media and slammed those who were showing concern. In his personal blog, the megastar wrote, "They wonder and send alarms to not publicise the pictures of the film PIKU .. yet ... for they jeopardise the marketing of the other projects I work on .. which shall be released much ahead of this one ..”

Mumbai, Aug 2: None of the sim cards that actor Sushant Singh Rajput was using was registered under his name, said the team of Bihar Police, probing his death case, on Sunday.

The team also informed that one of the sim cards that the late actor was using was registered the name of his friend Siddharth Pithani.

"We are now tracking the call detail records (CDRs)," the police said.

The team also said that they will interrogate the family of Sushant Singh Rajput's former manager Disha Salian, who died few days before Sushant's death.

"Even after constant attempts to connect with them on phone, we have failed to establish any contact," it said.

Earlier today, while talking to news agency, the Director-General of Police (DGP) of Bihar Gupteshwar Pandey hinted at the non-cooperation of Mumbai police with his team in their investigation.

"We don't have post-mortem report details, CCTV footage or any information that has been collected by Mumbai Police during probe till now. Our Chief Minister has requested the Maharashtra Chief Minister to ask his police force to cooperate with us," the DGP added.

When asked if Bihar Police want CBI probe into the case, he said, "We are more than capable of doing an unbiased investigation. We hope that Mumbai Police will cooperate with us and we'll conclude the investigation."

Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14. Mumbai Police who was investigating the case had earlier informed that they have recorded the statements of 41 people, including filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, film critic Rajeev Masand, director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and filmmaker Aditya Chopra so far.

A team of Bihar Police is in Mumbai to probe the actor's death after an FIR was filed by Rajput's father KK Singh against late actor's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty in Bihar in connection with the death case under several sections including abetment of suicide.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had also registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in Rajput's death case. ED registered the report after an FIR was filed by his father against Chakraborty.

Patna, Jan 22: Actor Kangana Ranaut has expressedher desire to make a movie on Chandragupta, the shepherd-turned-emperor who founded the Maurya dynasty, noting that the film industry has “not done enough justice to our history”.

The national award winner was here to take part in a programme organised by the publishers of a leading Hindi daily where she performed a jig to the tunes of Bhojpuri songs along with actor-turned-politician Ravi Kishan before the duo participated in a question and answer session.  Replying to the questions posed by Kishan, who is also the BJP MP from Gorakhpur, Ranaut on Tuesday said it was her second trip to Bihar.

“The last time, I was here as a child though I have not yet got a chance to explore the state with which I feel a connect as my Yoga teacher has his roots here,” she said.

Ranaut, who won acclaim for portraying Rani Laxmibai, the valiant queen of Jhansi who took on the British during the revolt of 1857 -- in ‘Manikarnika’, when asked if she would like to be associated with a film on any historical figure from Bihar, said, “It would be Chandragupta Maurya. The film industry has not done much justice to our history”.

A self-confessed admirer of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the 32-year-old, who has won three National Awards in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories, replied in the affirmative when asked about reports that she has turned producer and her first venture is based on the theme of Ram temple in Ayodhya.

The Himachal Pradesh-born actress, who has courted controversy for taking on well-entrenched Bollywood “insiders” like Karan Johar and Hrithik Roshan, said she has had a rebellious streak since childhood and shared an anecdote about her breaking her teacher’s stick upon being hit for chatting with a classmate in school.

When Kishan asked why she has gained so much weight, Ranaut replied it was in preparation for her upcoming biopic “Thalaivi”, based on late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.

The actress said her forthcoming release “Panga” is a family drama.

Ranaut said after landing in Patna, she gorged on ‘Litti Chokha’, a local delicacy.

She also regaled the audience by greeting them in Bhojpuri and repeating several commonly used phrases of the dialect after Kishan.
