Salman beats Shahrukh in Times Celebex Ranking

April 6, 2015

Mumbai, Apr 6: In the latest battle of the Khans of Bollywood, Salman Khan has taken the crown again!

The handsome actor has beaten Shahrukh Khan two years in a row as Bollywood’s top actor named by Times Celebex.

Celebex RankingThe index ranks 50 male and female stars by their box office performance, brand endorsement and cross-media popularity.

In the 2014 rating index, Salman leads the actor’s list by gaining an extra 14 ‘T Score’ since 2013. This puts him safely in the top spot, as Shahrukh has lost a hefty 67 points.

But the almighty Salman has upped the game for the Khan ‘rivalry’ by grabbing three more powerful titles – Box Office King, Most Searched Actor Online and Most Popular Actor in Print Media.

Shahrukh, on the other hand, has only managed to snatch ‘Best in Brand Endorsement’ out of nine categories.

Climbing to number three in Times Celebex 2014 is the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, who has also earned the honour of Most Followed on Social Media.

On the actress front is an interesting rise and fall. While it is hardly a surprise that Deepika Padukone is named top actress, the Piku (2015) star has collected a solid 75 more ‘T Score’ than in 2013.

Her triumph over 2013’s winner Katrina Kaif, whose wax figure has recently been unveiled at Madame Tussauds London, is no doubt aided by Katrina’s major loss of ‘T Score’ from 474 to 381.

As Katrina drops to third place, Deepika further proves her celebrity power by garnering the highest following on social media and being the most popular actress in print media.

The ranking takes into account the data provided by ‘credible external agencies that service the media industry’ and a diverse range of media outlets, such as cinema and TV channels.

‘T Score’ for each Bollywood actor and actress is tallied up every month of the year to provide the most up-to-date index of their stardom.

Salman, having been named actor of the month six times in 2014, has effortlessly come out on top in the annual round-up.

Mumbai, Jun 17: A lawyer on Wednesday moved a criminal complaint against 8 persons, including Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and producer-director Karan Johar, in a local court regarding the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

The court had fixed July 3 as the next date of hearing.

In his complaint filed in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha alleged that these eight persons forced Sushant to commit suicide under a conspiracy which, he pleaded, amounted to murder.

Others named in the complaint are Aditya Chopra, Sajid Nadiadwala, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bhushan Kumar, Ekta Kapoor, and director Dinesh.

The complainant claimed that these persons did not let Sushant's movies get released under a conspiracy and the late actor was not even invited to film functions because of these people.

Ojha said that Sushant Singh Rajput's death had not only hurt the people of Bihar but the entire country.

He said the complaint had been filed under Sections 306, 109, 504 and 506 and Bollywood actor Kangana Ranawat had been listed as a witness in the case.

Sushant Singh Rajput had allegedly committed suicide at his Bandra flat in Mumbai on Sunday.

Washington, April 3: American actor Kristen discussed her experience being isolated with husband and their two kiddos.

According to Fox News, the 39-year-old actor discussed how she and Shepard are finding quarantine to be a little tough in a video chat to Entertainment Tonight.

Bell admitted: "We've gotten on each other's last nerve these last couple days. We're doing much better now because were laughing about it. But when we were not laughing about it for the first couple of days, that's the hard spot."

The 'Bad Mom' actor then shared her thoughts on why quarantining with loved ones can be so tough. She explained that she loves spending time with her husband and he loves spending time with her.

But what she thinks is different about this quarantine time is you have so much more time to think about the other persona and their actions and sort of replay what they said or attach a meaning to something that they did.
Bell added: "Nobody really needs time for that. That's useless."

The 'Frozen' actor also discussed having to make adjustments in regards to her kids, 7-year-old Lincoln, and 5-year-old Delta, and the schedule she tried to keep once the quarantine began.

She said that the biggest lesson she learnt, in the beginning, was that she wrote out the colour coded schedule, and noted about when will be their academic and academic time.

Kristen explained that by day five of schedule, she was making everybody miserable. About a week ago, she woke her kids up and encouraged her daughters to rip up the schedule, explaining that the kids "felt so good."

"I said the learning lesson here is that if you make a plan and it's not working, you pivot," said Bell.
