Spend Valentine's Day Bollywood style

February 6, 2015

New Delhi, Feb 6: Conveying feelings to your crush can sometimes be nerve-racking, but since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, bundle up your guts and try these bold yet magnetic ideas to express your love, Bollywood style.

Valentines Day

Inspired by some of the most iconic scenes from various films, toothpaste brand Closeup is hosting a Cupid Games contest, which dares young Indians to be unapologetically bold in expressing their feelings towards their affectionate ones.

Here are some 'dares':

The Big Surprise: Blindfold your crush or guide them to a breathtaking spot where you can break the news. The more elaborate your plan, the bolder your move. This is inspired by Ranbir Kapoor's surprise for Deepika Padukone in "Bachna Ae Haseeno", which leaves her stunned and amazed.

The Remote Romance: Ask your crush out on a date, in public, for Valentine's Day. Inspired by Aamir Khan's proposal to Preity Zinta in a dance club in the film "Dil Chahta Hai", that's how a bold and impulsive proposal should be like.

The Foodie Fiesta: It's a common saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. However, that doesn't mean women wouldn't prefer the same. So try and treat your date with a delicious Valentine's Day surprise by putting your culinary skills to test. Inspired by Aditya Roy Kapur's sumptuous delights for Parineeti Chopra in "Daawat-E-Ishq."

The Radio Romeo: Make sure your beloved is tuned in when you call the radio jockey to ask your crush out live on air. This is inspired by Saif Ali Khan's proposal to Preity Zinta in "Salaam Namaste".

The High Flier: Show them love is in the air with a Valentine's Day invite attached to a flying object. Balloons, kites, drones -- the choice is yours. Inspired by Rajkummar Rao's attempts to flirt with Kangana Ranaut in the movie "Queen".

The Dance Dedication: Get a club's disc jockey to dedicate a song to your crush. Then ask them out for Valentine's Day in the middle of the dance floor by busting your moves to that tune. This is inspired by Hrithik Roshan's rocking dance number in "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...", in which he woos Kareena Kapoor through his dazzling dance moves in "You are my Sonia".

Mumbai, Mar 7: A 'farm-to-fork' themed restaurant 'He-Man' situated on National Highway in Haryana's Karnal -- franchised by veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra -- has been sealed for building law violations, officials said on Saturday.

The Karnal Municipal Corporation sealed the franchise outlet on Friday for not furnishing the change of land use (CLU) certificate and illegal constructions, an official said.

The restaurant is located on National Highway 44 on the outskirts of Karnal, some 150 km from here.

The franchise was given to Delhi-based businessman Pramod Kumar.

"After the success of my restaurant Garam Dharam Dhaba, I am now announcing a farm-to- fork themed restaurant 'He-Man'," Dharmendra had announced on Instagram after its launch on Valentine's Day.

Karnal Deputy Commissioner Nishant Yadav said the action was initiated as the restaurant owner did not respond to MC notice on the issue.

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.
