RGV watches Aamir's Dangal, loses it and takes digs at Salman, SRK

December 28, 2016

Mumbai, Dec 28: Ram Gopal Varma, like all of us, has watched 'Dangal'. He, like all of us, has loved it. But he, unlike us, has absolutely lost it.

The formerly-acclaimed director, took to Twitter to ensure that the world knew he's seen the film and has no respite from fawning over Aamir Khan's commendable performance.

But not one to stop at that, the 'Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag' director took the opportune moment to take collective digs at the other two from the Khan triumvirate, Salman and Shah Rukh Khan.

Implying that they do not have the guts and aptitude to pull off a character as dense and difficult as Mahavir Singh Phogat's, he also showered generous amounts of praise on Aamir, who incidentally had one of the biggest hits of his career with him, in 'Rangeela'.

The rant immediately went viral, as the director got the expected mileage on the social networking feed.

This isn't the first time he has taken a jibe at the Khan's . RGV had infamously critiqued Shah Rukh Khan for choosing to go off the mainstream mould and experimenting with his films, citing that as the reason why Kamal Haasan eventually lost the stardom race to Rajinikanth.

RGV had also went on to take on Mollywood superstar Mammootty, after watching his son Dulquer Salmaan's performance in Mani Ratnam's 'OK Kanmani'.

He called Dulquer a far better actor than Mammootty was during his heydays, much to the umbrage of the superstar's fans.

Incidentally a remake of the film helmed by Shaad Ali, 'OK Jaanu,' starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, is all set to release on January 13, 2017.

Knowing RGV and his ways, this wouldn't be the last time. It remains to be seen how Aamir would choose to react to this unsolicited and explicitly embarrassing appreciation, though.

London, Mar 19: "Game of Thrones" star Indira Varma has revealed that she has tested positive for coronavirus.

Her diagnosis comes two days after fellow "Game of Thrones" actor Kristofer Hivju also said that he tested positive for the COVID-19 infection.

Varma, who played the role of Ellaria Sand in the epic HBO series, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share the news.

"I'm in bed with it and it's not nice. Stay safe and healthy and be kind to your fellow people," she wrote.

The 46-year-old actor was starring in the modern take of Anton Chekhov's play "The Seagull" in London's West End, alongside "Game of Thrones" alum Emilia Clarke.

The play is on hold due to the pandemic.

"So sad our and so many other shows around the world have gone dark affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. We hope to be back soon and urge you all (and the govt) to support us when we do. Phoenix/ Seagull rising from the ashes (sic)," Varma wrote in her post with photos from the rehearsals.

Varma and Hivju join Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Idris Elba, Olga Kurylenko, and Rachel Matthews among the Hollywood celebrities who contracted the virus.

Mumbai, May 10: Nearly a month after recovering from the coronavirus, actor Zoa Morani says she has donated her blood plasma to do her bit in helping the patients currently suffering from the novel virus. The actor, who was quarantined and kept under medication in April, also urged those who have recovered from COVID-19 to donate their plasma.

"Donated my blood today for the Plasma therapy trials at Nair hospital. It was fascinating! Always a silver lining I suppose. The team there was so enthusiastic and careful. There was a general physician on standby just incase of emergency and the equipment brand new and safe (sic)," Zoa wrote on Instagram on Saturday.

She thanked the doctors for taking care of her and hoped patients benefit from the donation.

"All #Covid19 recovered people can be a part of this trial, to help others covid patients recover! I hope this works #IndiaFightsCorona. They even gave me a certificate and Rs 500. Wont lie, I felt super cool today (sic)," she added.

Zoa, along with her sister Shaza and father, producer Karim Morani had tested positive for coronavirus in April. All three were discharged from the hospital after testing negative last month.
