Shahrukh_KhanOct 16: SRK is in Cannes for a couple of days. He went there to attend a fat destination wedding. Shahrukh Khan represented Indian cinema in 2002 with his movie ‘Devdas’ in Cannes. While in Cannes, the actor got nostalgic about his earlier visits, especially during the time when he represented India with his movie ‘Devdas’.

On Sunday night, SRK tweeted, “At Cannes after years... Memories come flooding back of 'Devdas'. Insha Allah will come here to represent India with more beautiful films.”

In 2002, at the Cannes International film festival, ‘Devdas’ was screened at a special screening. The movie was not part of the competition. Every year during May, Cannes film festival is conducted. Over the years, Indian cinema has spread its presence at this international film festival.

Shahrukh went to Cannes to attend wedding of Kunal Grover, son of British socialite Pamela Grover. He married Ria Dubash.

Other than Shahrukh, many other celebrities also went to attend the wedding of Kunal Grover. It was Tushar’s first visit to Cannes. He tweeted, “In Cannes now for a big fat Indian destination wedding, both for the first time! Still getting used to all the paraphernalia! (spelt correct?).”

Socialite Pamela Grower is friends with Bollywood celebrities like Gauri Khan, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Chandra among others.

Shahrukh Khan is currently busy with the filming of upcoming movie ‘Happy New Year’. The movie is directed by Farah Khan and will release next year. SRK is paired opposite Deepika Padukone in this movie.

SRK’s last movie ‘Chennai Express’ was a super duper hit movie. It bagged a business of more than 200 crores. The actor confesses making more enemies post his movie ‘Chennai Express’. He said, “I am scared of losing. I am scared of coming second. I am scared of not making it big. So, I have such a fear of failure that I work harder when even I don't need to. I work longer when I don't have to.”

He also said, “I never rest on my laurels because I feel that this will be taken away one day. I have this fear that if I don't work hard enough I will lose what I have attained and not be able to continue to do so. I don't have blood pressure neither I am a heart victim but I need to just work hard.”

Of late SRK has been facing certain health issues.

New Delhi, Jul 24: With more than 50 movies under her credits and being one of the few actors from Bollywood to make a strong imprint in Hollywood, actor Priyanka Chopra started it all by winning Miss India 2000 pageant.

Chopra who is currently celebrating the completion of 20 years in the entertainment industry, on Friday looked back and reacted to the video where she was crowned as Miss India.
The' Fashion' actor shared a video on Instagram, where she is seen watching the throwback video. The 'Dostana' actor recalled winning the title and joked about her sense of style and poses back then.

Sharing the reaction video, she wrote: "Alright guys, we're doing this! I'm watching footage from my Miss India pageant in 2000! This is where it all began... If you've never seen these before, you are in for quite a treat. #20in2020 @feminamissindia."

Throughout the video, the 'Gunday' actor is seen casually commenting on her hairstyle, enacting her own movement on stage, and also recalled her luscious hair, which she now wonders where it all got lost.

However, she took a moment to appreciate the "clever and profound" answer she gave for the question that won her the crown.

While watching the winning moment, the 'Don' star noted how she never expected to win it. She explained that she had a train booked as she was to go back and take her board exams.

Going through the old photographs that run parallel to the video, she says: "These pictures are hard to look at." Pausing at a particular photograph, she laughs and says, "I don't even know how to do that pose."

"Well, this is where everything started. These are the pictures that sent me to Tinseltown," said the actor towards the end of the video.

Mumbai, Jul 27: Action director Parvez Khan, known for his work in films like Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun and Badlapur, died on Monday after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 55. 

Parvez, who worked in the industry since 1986, was rushed to Ruby Hospital after he complained of chest pain, his longtime associate Nishant Khan told PTI. "He suffered a major heart attack in the morning. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead. He didn't have any health issues but felt chest pain last night," Nishant said.

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who worked with Parvez in the National Award winning 2013 drama Shahid, said the action director was extremely skilled. "Just heard that action director Parvez Khan is no more. We had worked together in Shahid where he executed the riots sequence in a single take. Very skilful, energetic and a good man. RIP Parvez. Your voice still rings in my ears," Hansal tweeted. 

Parvez started his career by assisting action director Akbar Bakshi in films like Akshay Kumar's Khiladi (1992), Shah Rukh Khan's Baazigar (1993) and Bobby Deol-starrer Soldier in 1998. It was with Ram Gopal Varma's Ab Tak Chhappan in 2004 that he started working independently and went on to have a long-standing collaboration with filmmaker Sriram Raghavan in films such as Johnny Gaddaar (2007), Saif Ali Khan-starrer Agent Vinod in 2012 and Badlapur, featuring Varun Dhawan. He is survived by wife, son, daughter-in-law and a granddaughter.
