Salman: Shah Rukh was like a younger brother, I really loved that guy

Shah_RukhNew Delhi, Dec 2: Seriously, these two should hug and make up already. A lot has been written about the famous fight that Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan got into one night in the presence of Aamir Khan and other heavyweights from the industry. Salman's recent Ramadan greetings to Shah Rukh have also been discussed threadbare in the media as a gesture of reconciliation.

On the latest season of Koffee With Karan, Salman, sounding slightly wistful, admitted that there's a lot of water under the bridge now and he will never see Shah Rukh the way he used to before.

"Two guys got along fine and one night they didn't, he (Shah Rukh) could have come to me the same night and finished it (the fight) off and he chose not to. He passes my house four or five times every day, he could have just come and rung the doorbell," Salman told host Karan Johar in the debut episode of the season.

Salman, who debuted in the cinema industry earlier than Shah Rukh, said he held the latter in deep respect and defended him to those who tried to create a rift between the two.

"If people think they can bitch about him and win brownie points, they are very wrong. Because I spent a lot of time with him we may not see eye to eye, but I have really liked the guy. If people think they can speak bad about him and get away with it, I don't permit that at all," he said.

A playful banter about his love life turned serious as Salman, now 48, said he will keep the memories he had of better times with Shah Rukh.

"I realise we'll never be best of friends again but I have a lot of respect for him. I really loved that guy, he's like a younger brother, since I came (to Bollywood) in first and he's my sister's friend and Sangita's (Bijlani) friend. God has given him a lot, mashallah, he doesn't need me and I don't need him. I will keep those memories."

New Delhi, Jul 30: On his 47th birthday on Thursday, actor Sonu Sood announced three lakh jobs for migrant labourers on the job portal 'Pravasi Rojgar' that he had launched earlier this month.

The 'Dabangg' actor who has launched several initiatives for helping migrant labourers of the country made the announcement about the additional three lakh jobs on his Instagram account.

Sood posted two flyers of the employment application and shared that the jobs came with additional benefits like PF and ESI.

"On my birthday a small initiative from my side...3 lakh jobs tied up for Pravasirojgar.com. All these will provide good wages, PF, ESI, and other benefits," he wrote in the caption.

He further went on to thank the organisations that had partnered with him for the initiative.
"Thank you AEPC, CITI, Trident, Quesscorp, Amazon, Sodex, Urban Co, Portea, and all others for creating these opportunities with me. #AbIndiaBanegaKamyaab @pravasirojgar," he wrote.

Hailed as the 'messiah' of migrant labourers, Sood has helped hundreds of thousands of migrants to reach their native places amid the coronavirus induced lockdown when many like them were walking back to their homes.

Besides labourers, he has also helped students and other people stranded in different parts of the country amid the lockdown.

Mumbai, Apr 25: Actor Vidya Balan has decided to donate 1000 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits to the frontline healthcare staff across India.

In a video message posted on her Facebook page, the actor announced that she is also collaborating with celebrity shout-out platform Tring to raise money for additional 1000 PPE kits.

“In the war against COVID-19 our health care professionals are like our soldiers at the border fighting for our health and freedom. Just like we equip our soldiers for the battle we must do the same with our medical staff. There is a critical shortage of PPE for our senior doctors, residents, nurses and ward boys in their daily work.

“As a result, a lot of our hospitals are not functioning at full capacity. Join me in changing this now. I am donating 1000 PPE ktis to hospital and medical staff across the country. And I am pledging to raise money for another 1000,” she said.

According to a statement issued by the actor’s team, she has joined hands with Tring to provide additional 1000 PPE kits, in association with Manish Mundra of Drishyam Films and photographer-producer Atul Kasbekar.

For donations made through Tring, Vidya will be recognising the support of every donor by sending a personal thank you video message, and a chance for a two-minute video call with her.

Vidya said each PPE kit is worth Rs 650 (all-inclusive of delivery costs and applicable taxes) and it consists of one coverall laminated and waterproof, nitrile gloves, goggles, face shields, 3-ply surgical mask and shoe covers.

The police have arrested the accused following a complaint by the filmmaker.

According to a senior police officer, the argument over the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC) began following a social media post by the filmmaker.

The accused allegedly went to the house of the filmmaker on Monday night and picked up an argument, which led to a scuffle.

"During the scuffle, the accused attacked the filmmaker with a knife," the senior police officer said, adding that the accused has been booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
