Not right to blame anyone: Sussanne defends Arjun Rampal

Sussanne Roshan Wednesday spoke out against reports that actor Arjun Rampal was a reason behind her split with her husband of 13 years, Hrithik Roshan. She says nobody is to be blamed.

Sussanne couldn't avoid queries related to the recent announcement of her split with Hrithik, at the launch of Bandra 190, a luxury concept retail boutique co-owned by Sussanne, Seema Khan and Maheep Kapoor here Wednesday.


Asked to react to reports on Arjun's involvement, she said: "You can't blame anyone for this. It is sad to blame anyone. We are close-knit friends. It's not right to blame anyone."

She said she cannot pinpoint a reason for parting ways with Hrithik, whom she dated for four years before finally tying the knot Dec 20, 2000.


"There is no reason. Sometimes you have to do this because of a situation," said the mother of two sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan.

Hrithik announced Sussanne's decision to end their marriage via an official statement Dec 13.

Salman, SRK to clash on Eid 2015

Actors Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in 2013 Eid had hugged each other but now on the Eid 2015 the two will be face to face with the release of their respective movies.

Salman Khan's untitled film that will be directed by Kabir Khan and produced under his Being Human banner is going to have a 2015 Eid release. While Salman had booked this date a month ago, Shah Rukh's upcoming film with Farhan Akhtar 'Raees' may be released on the same day.

Produced by Farhan's Excel Production, with 'Raees' Shah Rukh will enter the war zone once again and take over Salman, whose Eid releases have been unchallenged so far. Salman's huge fan following has so far never disappointed the star whenever his films have released on Eid.

This time Salman didn't release his film on Eid and Shah Rukh bagged the opportunity with 'Chennai Express' which has gone down Box-Office history by making Rs 200 crore.

With the two Khans getting ready with their big releases on the same day, we wonder who will win the Eid battle? Or will one of them back out?byy santa banta news networkk..

Aamir has high hopes from Tamil dubbed version of 'Dhoom 3

Wednesday, December 18, 2013 12:27 IST

By Santa Banta News Network

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who has joined the "Dhoom" franchise for the first time, hopes that the third installment - slated for release worldwide Friday - turns out to be successful in Tamil as well.

"Dhoom 3" also featuring Katrina Kaif along with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will release in Tamil under the same title.

"Our film 'Dhoom 3' has also been dubbed in Tamil. I think this is one of my few films of mine to be dubbed in this language. I'm really looking forward to the response from the local audience who may not be aware of my work because of the language barrier. I'm hoping that it will be received well," Aamir told reporters here Tuesday.

Accompanied by his co-stars Katrina, Uday and Abhishek, he was speaking at a promotional event of the film.

"We are just testing with this dubbing idea and I'm keen to see how audiences will receive our film in their mother tongue Tamil," he added.

Katrina, who plays Aaliya, a circus artist in the film, said Chennai was like home to her.

"My mother used to stay in Chennai for quite some time before moving to Madurai. I used to come with her a lot. (It's a) lovely place and when I landed (this evening) I had a feeling of missing this place. I'm glad to have a got a chance to come back," she said.

Kat, as she is fondly called in the industry, has worked in southern industries such as Telugu and Malayalam. She said she's unfortunate to have not worked in Tamil so far.

"Aamir asked if I know and can speak in Tamil, but sadly, I can't speak Tamil. I have done two Telugu films and one in Malayalam too but unfortunately didn't a chance to work in Tamil yet," she said.

"Dhoom 3" is directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who had penned the story for the first two parts in the franchise.

"It's been a special journey for me. I have been associated with the franchise from the first part and now I have directed the third one. Therefore, it's very special and I'm also looking forward to the response from the audience for the Tamil version," said Acharya.


Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra, who have been associated with the franchise since its inception, will be reprising the roles of Jai Dixit and Ali Akbar respectively.

Junior Bachchan said that he hopes the Tamil version of "Dhoom 3" impresses one and all.

"It's always a pleasure to come back to Chennai, which is one of my favorite cities. I have done a lot of work here. We are very happy to bring our film to Chennai in Tamil version so that a lot of Tamil audience also gets to enjoy the film. I really do hope you all like it," he said.

Produced by Yash Raj Films, "Dhoom 3" is the first Indian film to be released in IMAX.byy santa banta news networkk..

Watch 'Jai Ho' teaser: Salman Khan in action as ‘aam aadmi’

Salman Khan roars in the first teaser of 'Jai Ho'. Watch it here and tell us if you LIKE it

JAI HO We’ve just witnessed the power of the ‘aam aadmi’ at the ballot, now watch the power of a ‘people’s man’ in this first teaser of Salman Khan’s much-awaited film Jai Ho. “Aam aadmi sota hua sher hai, ungli mat kar, jaag gaya toh cheer-phad dega (A common man is a sleeping lion. Don’t poke it. If woken, it would rip you apart),” thunders Salman. A remake of the Telugu film Stalin, Jai Ho has Salman Khan playing Major Jai Agnihotri. Tabu plays Riya Agnihotri, apparently his sister. In the teaser, we see Jai sketching his plan to make this world a better place. Anyone he helps would have to help three people in turn and so a human chain of do-gooders would be formed. Danny Denzongpa plays the baddie who throws a spanner in Jai’s plans. He pokes the sleeping giant (ungli kar di) and then the lion wakes up, roars, and does the ‘cheer-phad’ (ripping apart). The bad guys are mauled, bashed, pummeled at the hands of Salman Khan. That’s the power of the ‘aam admi’ finding its most aggressive expression. The trailer of Jai Ho was launched on Thursday by Salman Khan and director Sohail Khan along with brother Arbaaz Khan. 'Jai Ho' also stars Sana Khan and Daisy Shah. The film is produced by Sunil Lulla and Sohail Khan. It is all set to release in theatres on 24th January, 2014. byy apun ka choice..

Anushka Sharma denies dating Virat Kohli

Anushka Sharmacompletes five successful years in Bollywood and while talking to ‘The Indian Express’, the ‘Band Baaja Baraat’ clears the weather of dating Indian cricketer Virat Kohli. Off late, grapevine buzzed that Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are seeing each other and both are very serious about one another but the long legged actress during the interview rubbishes the report.

When Anushka was asked whether she is seeing Virat, she replied, ‘No, I am not’.  Anushka claims she and Virat are only good friends and they sometimes hang out together.  Anushka said, “We are friends. I met him during the shoot of a shampoo commercial. I thought he'd be arrogant so I also went with arrogance but once we started shooting, I realised that he's really chilled out. We shot together for three days and on the second day of the shoot, I was having a get-together at my place so I called him over to hang out with my friends”.

“That's what it was and the next thing I read is a completely fictional account of how we were smooching in a lift in front of some Aunty from my building who we made uncomfortable. Arrey, I'm not even a hugging person. I feel very weird when everyone hugs each other on the sets. I'm like arrey kal hi toh mile thay yaar”, she added.

When she was asked about the story how Virat kept turning back to look at her after she came to see him off in the parking area of your building, she laughs it out saying, “Yeah, I read that. I think it's some bored neighbour with a notepad and pen who is writing these flop scenes from a bad film.”

Anushka said the ugly thing written about her is that she is ugly, “People said I'm ugly. It used to bother me a lot. There's this site pinkvilla.com. They put up pictures and the haters write really nasty stuff. Earlier I used to get upset but now I deal with it. When you are happy about yourself then you don't care”, quips the actress.

 In this five years, Anushka has done only seven films but she has no regrets. “Professionally, none. I never put myself in a place I don't want to be in. Even if it's about endorsing a brand if I don't agree with what the brand is saying I won't promote it. I've always known what I want. Personally, there have been ups and downs but I've come to realise that the downs are good for an actor's emotional reserves. Earlier I used to get frazzled when something bad used to be written about me and I used to say it doesn't bother me but I was lying”, ended Anushka.byy  bollywood mantra.com
