#CatchUp

Hi guys,

I know I shouldn't be away this much but I have been mighty busy. It's not easy keeping up daily I tell you but I did keep an eye out for gists in B town. So what I will be doing today is to give you all the gists that I gathered during the past week or so that I have been away. Sort of like to update this space with the detes...

So lets begin...

Big B's birthday!

Last week's Tuesday (11th October) was Amitabh Bachchan's birthday. The legend turned 74 with B-Town and his millions of fans and followers sending him their best wishes. In his unique way, Big B wished himself and also thanked all for their wishes.

Purab's exit from Kumkum Bhagya aka Twist of Fate

Arjit Taneja popularly known as Purab in Zee TV's show Kumkum Bhagya which is currently airing in Nigeria on Zee World Africa as Twist of Fate has quit the show!

This comes after Mrunal Thakur who played his girlfriend, Bulbul also left the show earlier in the year. It was reported that she was not happy with the way her role was shaping up! So what the makers did was to let Bulbul's character die to exit the actress.

A source was reported to have said that Arjit acknowledged that he has gotten immense popularity with the character Purab and he didn't want to quit the show because he had gotten attached to the unit. But there is nothing much left for him to do in the show as Purab's character lost prominence over a period of time. 

On the show, after Bulbul's death, Purab has been constantly supporting Pragya in her fight with Tanu, Nikhil and Alia. He has also been helping Abhi. But, we have to agree that after Bulbul left, Purab's role did loose prominence! We now wonder how the producers will end Purab's role on the show! Perhaps, he will also die?!

The actor shot for his last episode recently and posted an emotional goodbye on his instagram account... 'I don't have words to express how much I will miss each and everyone of you. You all have been my family since almost 3 years and have literally taken care of me like a kid and even spoilt me to an extent ;-) I've actually grown up in these 3 years and learnt so much from everyone, I feel I'm passing out of school and going to college! It was really tough to let go of this show but I had to move on and I can go on and on and on about all of it So THANKYOU guys ❤️ and I can proudly say it really is the best team Everrr and the production house too! , I LOVE YOU KUMKUMBHAGYA! (30thMarch2014-21stSeptember2016) Thankyou @ekmainaurektu7 @tanusridgupta @ekmainaurektu7 For PURAB ❤️❤️🙏 and also @devikamm #Blessed #Gratitude #KKB'

For his fans in Africa, you've got nothing to worry about for now... The show's just started!

Between Alia Bhatt and Siddharth Malhotra

I have been reading various things on social media about Alia and Sid's relationship and breakup. The internet is a really crazy place! The actors who debuted in Karan Johar's 2012 Student of the Year have never publicly announced their relationship, but it has been obvious from all angles. Buzzing news now is that the lovebirds have broken up and both as always, are keeping silent about the subject.

A few days back, Alia had gone to watch ‘M.S. Dhoni – The Untold Story’ at a theatre with her friends at the end of which she was surrounded by the paparazzi. While she was more than happy to pose, she was in no mood to answer any questions related to Sid. As soon as a reporter mentioned that Sidharth has been spotted on numerous occasions with Katrina Kaif, the actress made a dash for her car. All she was willing to say was, “Arey yaar, good night. So jaao.”

As far as I am concerned, this is no news when it comes to celebrities. They make up and break up. It's like a routine for them. On to the next one please...
