The end of SRK and Arjun Rampal's friendship?

November 26, 2012

SRK-and-Arjun-Rampal

The Shah Rukh Khan-Arjun Rampal friendship is over, RIP! Rumbles of discontentment have been audible for a long time. We now have it from a very reliable source that Arjun and SRK have completely distanced themselves from one another while their wives continue to be best friends.

At the proposed 40th birthday bash that Arjun's wife Mehr is organizing in Marrackesh on November 29,Shah Rukh will be conspicuous by his absence.

"And not because SRK has other commitments and cannot be at Marrackesh. This is the alibi that's being set forward for SRK's absence at Arjun's party on 29th. But the truth is, Shah Rukh is no more on talking terms with Arjun. Their wives continue to be thick pals. In fact Gauri Khan is on top of Mehr Jessia's guest list for her husband's birthday party," says our source.

Apparently Mrs Shah Rukh Khan has made it clear to Mrs Rampal that Shah Rukh is not attending the 40th birthday party.

The split between the two close friends has caused quite an awkward loyalty-issue among the friends of the two actors. Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan are apparently not attending Arjun's birthday party, because of Abhishek's closeness to Shah Rukh. On the other hand Hrithik and Susanne who are very thick with Arjun and Mehr would be present throughout the celebrations.

Interestingly the girl-gang comprising star-wives Gauri Khan, Susanne Roshan, Mehr Jessia, Chunky Pandey's wife Bhavna and Sanjay Kapoor's wife Maheep continue to form their girls' gang irrespective of the equation among their husbands. Sonali Bhendre who also used to be a part of the star-wives' club has now isolated herself from it.

All the ladies from the exclusive star-wives' clubs are expected to be at Marrackesh for Arjun's big 40th birthday bash on the 29th November, three days' ahead of the actual birth date.With or without their husbands.

Arjun Rampal who will celebrate a working birthday on November 276 in Kutch on location for Nikhil Advani's D Day says he's aware of the birthday bash but unaware of the guest list. "I know Mehr is planning this surprise party for me at Marrackesh which I am not supposed to know about. Who all are coming,I've no clue. I know my wife and daughters will be there."

Arjun heads for Marrackesh on 27 November to attend the film festival where three of his films Rock On, Raajneeti and Chakravyuha are being screened.

Understandably the actor who has lately come into his own, is excited "It would be a mini-festival of my best work and then the party that Mehr is organizing at Marrackesh. But that's a little way off. For the next couple of days I'm shooting some of toughest action scenes I've ever done. Nikhil Advani is shooting on the outskirts of Kutch. The location is about four-hours'drive away from Kutch. And quite gruelling."

About turning 40 Arjun asks, "Is it really meant to be special? That's what people said when I turned 30. But I guess at 40 you begin to make good use of the experiences that you've gathered over the years. Earlier you are just running around trying to find your bearings."

Los Angeles, May 2: Pop diva Madonna has revealed that she has tested positive for the COVID-19 anitbodies.

The singer shared the news in the 14th edition of her “Quarantine Diary” on Instagram TV.

“Took a test the other day and I found out that I have the antibodies. So tomorrow I’m just going to go for a long drive in the car, and I’m gonna roll down the window and I’m gonna breathe in the COVID-19 air. Yup. I hope the sun is shining,” Madonna said.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), US, antibody tests are used to determine whether or not a person has been exposed to COVID-19 by finding proteins the body produces to fight the virus.

However, the CDC has yet to confirm if the possession of antibodies is equal to immunity.

Mumbai, Apr 2: Ramayan, the over three-decade-old TV series based on Hindu mythology, garnered 170 million viewers in four shows over the last weekend in its new avatar, the BARC said on Thursday.

This catapulted the Ramanand Sagar production as the highest watched serial in the Hindi general entertainment space ever, the Broadcast Audience Research Council said.

The show was relaunched last Saturday amid the gloomy times of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and a lot of thrust laid by the government machinery to popularise the series.

BARC's chief executive Sunil Lulla said the numbers notched up by the series was a bit surprising and called the move as a brilliant one by the Prasar Bharti.

He said eventually, we will also see advertisers flock the series which will be running for a few more days.

The inaugural show of the series on Saturday morning had 34 million viewers glued to their TV sets watching and enjoyed a rating of 3.4 per cent, while a telecast the same evening had 45 million viewers and a rating of 5.2 per cent.

The show bettered its performance on Sunday, with 40 million and 51 million people watching it in the morning and evening telecasts, respectively.

Los Angeles, May 24: Filmmaker Frank Marshall, one of the producers behind Jurassic World: Dominion, says the forthcoming film is not a conclusion of the franchise.

Colin Trevorrow, who rebooted Steven Spielberg's blockbuster Jurassic Park franchise with 2015's Jurassic World, is back on the director's chair after sitting out on second movie Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018).

Asked about the upcoming movie, Marshall told Collider: "It's the start of a new era."

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are coming back for the third film, which will also feature original stars of 1993's Jurassic Park -- Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill.

The producer also revealed how he sees the film franchise extending into the future.

"The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope," Marshall said.

The film was three weeks into production when it was shut down over coronavirus concerns, but the producer said the team has the sets built in London and will be "back in business" once they have guidelines from the British government.

Dominion is still slated to be released on its scheduled date of June 11, 2021.
