New Delhi, Apr 25: Rani Mukerji tied the knot at 36. While she exchanged vows with filmmaker Aditya Chopra in Italy, her contemporaries like Preity Zinta, Tabu and Urmila Matondkar continue to be in the list of 30-plus yet single. There are other Bollywood beauties like Priyanka Chopra and Amrita Rao who have also found a spot on the list.

Priyanka Chopra: In over a decade, the 31-year-old has done it all - clinched the Miss World crown, delivered blockbusters like "Krrish 3", "Barfi!" and "Fashion", crooned with international artists like Pitbull and Will.I.Am and fronted the global fashion brand GUESS as its first Bollywood actress. But it seems to have been hard luck when it comes to love. She had reportedly dated actors Harman Baweja and Shahid Kapoor, but someone is yet to put a ring on her finger.

Bipasha Basu: She once dated model-turned-actors Dino Morea and John Abraham. While she still continues to be friends with Dino, after parting ways with John in 2011 she cut off ties with him. For a few years, she kept her love life away from shutterbugs and it was just a few months ago when she declared that she was in love again. Bipasha, who has always been vocal about her beaus, officially announced her relationship with Harman Baweja. The actor, who was once linked to Priyanka, was also spotted at Bipasha's 35th birthday bash. There are also rumours of the couple getting hitched soon. Till now, they are tight-lipped about the union.

Soha Ali Khan: She has for long been in a committed relationship with fellow actor Kunal Kemmu. The 35-year-old has often said in public that her star mom Sharmila Tagore repeatedly tells her to tie the knot, but she seems to have no qualms about just dating Kunal. The "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns" star, who is in a live-in relationship with her man, is probably waiting to turn 40 to settle down.

Neha Dhupia: She was in an on and off relationship with squash player Ritwik Bhattacharya and then was spotted with Venezuelan hunk James Sylvester in 2011. This was followed by her link-up with cricketer Yuvraj Singh but she denied this and said that when she finds her soul mate, she will let everyone know about him - but till then, she's enjoying her single status.

Amrita Rao: The petite actress is fondly remembered for her role in Sooraj R. Barjatya's 2006 hit film "Vivah", but the 32-year-old has never gone public about losing her heart to a hunk. It was only in 2008 that she sparked rumours of finding love in Pakistani band Jal's singer Farhan Saeed. A few years later, many assumed that cupid had finally struck her when it was reported that she was dating an NRI surgeon. But as of now, there seems to be no sign of a knight in shining armour sweeping her off her feet.

Raima Sen: The 34-year-old Bengali beauty, who was once reportedly dating cricketer Yuvraj Singh, admitted that she felt guilty as she couldn't fulfil her late grandmother and iconic actress Suchitra Sen's last wish - to see her get married. Though the "Chokher Bali" actress had also announced her marriage to a friend in 2012 on Twitter, a day after posting her "engagement" pictures, she backed out saying it was just a joke. Following that prank, there were hardly any link-ups rumours. For now, she looks happy being single.

While Rani recently had "a beautiful wedding in the Italian countryside", her cousin Tanishaa Mukerji, also 36, is still staying away from marital bliss.

"Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai" actress Ameesha Patel is also yet to get hitched.

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.

London, Jul 4: Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth says he is really excited about the biopic on WWE legend Hulk Hogan, which is currently in development.

"The Thor" actor revealed that he will bulk up his physique for the much-anticipated film to be directed by “Joker” helmer Todd Phillips.

“This movie is going to be a really fun project. As you can imagine, the preparation for the role will be insanely physical. I will have to put on more size than I ever have before, even more than I put on for Thor.

''And then there is the accent as well as the physicality and the attitude. I will also have to do a deep dive into the rabbit hole of the wrestling world, which I'm really looking forward to doing,” Hemsworth told British magazine Total Film.

The project was announced last year, with “8 Mile” scribe Scott Silver and John Pollono attached to pen the script.

It is expected to look into Hogan's rise from the Florida wrestling circuit to becoming the face of the World Wrestling Federation in the 1980s where he squared off with villain Andre the Giant.

The 36-year-old actor, however, said that the team is still “quite a way away” from starting production on the film.

“'I haven't even seen a script yet. The project is deep in development. Todd Phillips and I met to chat about it maybe a year or two ago. We talked about the idea for the film, which I think was going to be a TV series at one point.

''There were a few different ideas about what portion of his life it was going to be set in, so we spitballed about what it could be and what I thought it might be. Thankfully, they ran with a few of those ideas and the script is in the process of being written - but Hulk Hogan is still quite a way away.''

The biopic will be produced by Michael Sugar through his Sugar23's first-look Netflix deal along with Joint Efforts' Phillips and Bradley Cooper, Eric Bischoff, and Hemsworth.

Hogan will also serve as executive producer along with Sugar23's Ashley Zalta. Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman will serve as co-producers.

Chennai, Jul 30: Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli on Wednesday said he and his family members have tested positive for coronavirus and are currently quarantined at home.

The director, best known for his epic fantasy hit Baahubali series, said they got tested after they developed mild fever recently which subsided by itself.

“My family members and I developed a slight fever few days ago. It subsided by itself but we got tested nevertheless. The result has shown a mild COVID positive today. We have home quarantined as prescribed by the doctors (sic)” he said.

In a subsequent tweet, Rajamouli said he and his kin are asymptomatic and “feeling better”. They are, however, following all the precautions and instructions.

“Just waiting to develop antibodies so that we can donate our plasma,” he added.

Before the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown was announced in March, the filmmaker was working on his upcoming period action drama Rise Roar Revolt.

The Telugu film, featuring actors Ram Charan and NTR Jr in the lead, is a fictional tale based on the lives of two freedom fighters in early 20th century.

Andhra Pradesh witnessed its worst single day spike of coronavirus on Wednesday, 10,000 plus cases, as the other southern states, including Tamil Nadu and Karnataka also reported high daily numbers, although they saw a dip in the infections.

The cumulative tally of southern states — AP, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Kerala and the Union Territory of Puducherry was 24,855 on Wednesday.
