Arpitha khanMumbai, Nov 20: Arpita Khan's wedding is by far the most significant event that has happened to Bollywood this year. All the three Khans face-timed till wee hours of the morning, Priyanka Chopra turned up in a pretty blue sari to prove that all is well between her and Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor's conspicuous absence (or not being invited) made headlines and it seems Salman Khan almost confessed that ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif could have become Mrs Salman Khan but she chose to be with Ranbir Kapoor isntead.

If reports are to be believed, during the wedding, Salman Khan called Kaif to dance with him on stage. The two were to shake a leg on Kaif's song Chikni Chameli, but instead of taking the stage, Kaif hid behind Karan Johar, to avoid dancing.

However, Salman Khan, was not in a mood to let go easily. Khan told Johar to bring Kaif onstage and then went on to say, "Ok fine, not Katrina Kaif. Katrina Kapoor, please come on stage!".

While a very embarrassed Kaif didn't know what else to do but to go on stage and dance to Chikni Chameli, Khan quipped, "Mai kya karoon! I gave you a chance to become Katrina Khan, but you chose to be 'Katrina Kapoor'!"

For all of you who have been buried under a rock for last five years, Katrina Kaif is dating Ranbir Kapoor and media reports are speculating that the two are likely to tie the knot in 2015.

Salman Khan was the one who introduced Katrina Kaif to Bollywood. Although Kaif debuted in Bollywood with Boom, it was Maine Pyar Kyu Kiya opposite Khan that gave her recognition in the film circuit. Rumour mills have it that the split between Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif as well as Deepika Padukone-Ranbir Kapoor happened when Kaif and Kapoor cheated on their respective partners. However, the two have always denied it. Kaif moved in with Kapoor recently.

Chennai, Jul 30: Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli on Wednesday said he and his family members have tested positive for coronavirus and are currently quarantined at home.

The director, best known for his epic fantasy hit Baahubali series, said they got tested after they developed mild fever recently which subsided by itself.

“My family members and I developed a slight fever few days ago. It subsided by itself but we got tested nevertheless. The result has shown a mild COVID positive today. We have home quarantined as prescribed by the doctors (sic)” he said.

In a subsequent tweet, Rajamouli said he and his kin are asymptomatic and “feeling better”. They are, however, following all the precautions and instructions.

“Just waiting to develop antibodies so that we can donate our plasma,” he added.

Before the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown was announced in March, the filmmaker was working on his upcoming period action drama Rise Roar Revolt.

Washington, May 18: Joining hands with the European Commission, actor Leonardo DiCaprio launched the Virunga Fund with seed money of USD 2 million to support Africa's Virunga National Park.

Since Virunga has lost a significant amount of revenue due to COVID shutdown post-March, the fund will be used to support the national park and the communities around, reported Variety.

The fund is aimed at disease prevention efforts, protection of mountain gorilla, and other species.

"I had the great honor of meeting and supporting Virunga's courageous team in their fight against illegal oil drilling in 2013," Variety quoted DiCaprio as saying.

"Virunga urgently needs funds to protect the endangered mountain gorilla population, to provide support to the rangers and the families of rangers who have fallen in the line of duty, and to help deliver essential disease prevention efforts. It's critical that we rally together during this time of incredible crisis," he added.

The 'Titanic' actor had earlier produced a Netflix documentary film 'Virunga' which is based on the national park.
