#RanbirKapoorAishwaryaRai

Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan graced the cover of Filmfare magazine in a bid to promote their upcoming movie directed by Karan Johar, 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'. Read here if you missed the teaser.

The pictures were oh so hot and sizzling in the various postures of both actors. What caught my attention was how timeless Aish was looking. She didn't look a day over 42; she could be taken for a 24 year old instead (BTW, Ranbir is 34). Her beauty is so mesmerizing and her pairing with Ranbir looks so darn hot! 

Only SRK take me to the cinemas but with all I am seeing and reading about Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, I will so be at the cinemas come when it is released later this month.

Enjoy the pictures... I am drooling! Are you?

#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...

#AnswerPlease

Big B's question this morning is the cutest thing I have seen all day. 

The legendary actor took to twitter a few minutes ago seeking help on how to use emojis. He tweeted: 'HELP needed! How do you put emoji's on Twitter and FB from laptop and mobile... both Android and iPhone'.

Big B, who is very well known to be active on social media with more than 24 million followers on Facebook, 22 million on Twitter, and 2 million on Instagram posted the tweet with a picture of him in a 'thinking' mode.  

Well... Mr. Bachchan, I am sure you will get a response soon!

KingOfHearts || Episode Summary || Monday 03.10.2016

At the party, a guest loose her necklace and exclaims. They also find out that the baby's bangles are missing and decide to check everybody's bags. They find nothing and Simran feels insulted and prepares to leave from there. She collects the gift bag from Kritika and throws it on the floor only to find the stolen jewelries inside. Simran takes the blame for stealing the jewelry despite knowing that it was Kritika that stole them.

Roshni calls Siddharth and tell him that she was worried about the news and he should not go by train. He calms her down and tells her not to worry. Not long after, Pratima sees the news about a bomb blast on the train and she calls Roshni who sees the news, screams out Siddharth's name and faints. 

Bablu brings water and it is splashed on Roshni's face; she regains consciousness and begins to scream for Siddharth. She rushes out of the house to go in search of him but DD manages to stop her and promises her that she will get Siddharth back to her.

Simran comes back home crying; Raj asks her what the problem was and she tells him. He goes to Kritika in her room and scolds her for embarrassing Simran at the party. He even tries to slap her but she dares him and insults them both. It was revealed at this scene that Kritika was Simran's daughter from another husband. She claimed that Simran had abandoned her when she was just two years old to marry another man. Raj makes Simran understand that they need to be tough with Kritika in her own best interest.

That night, Simran receives a call from someone who claims to have kidnapped Kritika and asks for a ransom of 200,000 (rupees I presume). He said that it was money that she owed him and he will only release her after he gets his money. He further tells them not to involve the police. Simran is worried but Raj calms her down.

DD is busy on the phone calling the police to get information that would assist in finding Siddharth; Roshni blames herself for what has happened to Siddharth and grandma tries to calm her. DD promises Roshni that they will find Siddharth and both hold hands on this mission. 

Raj and Simran go to the police station to report the kidnapping but got a call from the kidnapper who had found out what they were about to do. He threatens that he would kill Kritika and even increases the ransom to 400,000. Simran was afraid and pleads with Raj not to involve the police and let them go and make the payment. As they entered the car, Raj spots Bablu and wonders why he was at the police station.

DD and Roshni reach the hospital and begin search and make enquiries about Siddharth. A doctor tells them that there were a lot of casualties and all the dead would have been taken to the morgue. Hearing this, Roshni begins to cry.

Samaira is on the phone with Rajveer asking him to come home and leave the others to find Siddharth. Pratima overhears her conversation and scolds her. Samaira sees her mother and pretends like Pratima was scolding her for nothing. Pratima sees her act and says she was mistaken and leaves from there.

Raj and Simran reach the kidnappers location and give them the money; they release Kritika to them and Raj spots the loose rope that was used to tie her. At home, Kritika calls the kidnapper and praises him. She asks him to keep her own share of the money but Raj collects the phone from her and threatens the kidnapper on the phone to return all the money tommorrow otherwise, he will get them all arrested. Kritika says what does he need the money for and that next time, she will ask for more.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

EPISODE REVIEW:

I was irritated when Simran took the blame for the jewelry theft. That was crap. What kind of love is that?

Why did they keep Siddharth quiet in this episode though? I mean ideally, he should call home knowing that they would be worried. I guess they are trying to keep us in suspense. And then the time span between Roshni's call to Siddharth and the news about the bombing was not so far apart. So I wonder why Roshni would conclude that he was on the train. They literally just spoke!

Plus, I didn't see a part where Roshni (or anybody) tried to call Siddharth's phone after that news. All of them just jumped to conclusion. They should have at least inserted that scene and make his number unreachable... that would make sense!

#KingOfHearts || Episode Summary || Thursday 29.09.2016

DD sees Grandmother enter with Siddharth and feels happy and begins to look for Roshni. She asks them where Roshni was and they are both tense. Just then, Roshni enters and DD tries to hug her but is stopped by Roshni; she tells DD that she had only come back because of Grandmother and Siddharth's emotions and walks away. 

DD is in her room and Rajveer walks in to apologise for causing all trouble by giving Roshni the money. DD tells him to stay away from her family matters and it makes him very furious. 

Siddharth gets the servants to remove all the luxurious items from their room and live the life of a middle class family; DD wasn't happy about this but Siddharth told her that he will provide all the luxury for his wife by himself. He even asks Roshni if she could cope and she said she could just to spite her mother.

Siddharth goes to the courier office to enquire about the package that had been delivered to their house. He gets home and tells Maya about his enquiry; Rajveer hears him and realizes that he is in danger.

Roshni asks Siddharth for some money but Siddharth says that it is the end of the month and his pockets are empty at the present. He goes on to taunt her about the useless expenses that she is not controlling. Just then, they hear some commotion in the living room where one of the servants is being accused of bringing eggs inside the house. He was further accused that he must have been the one who brought the chicken meat to the house as well. DD asks the servant to leave her house. Roshni then taunts her mother and asks her to apologize to Siddharth for accusing him earlier about the chicken meat.

DD apologises to Siddharth and the whole family is shocked to hear this. Siddharth even makes fun of her and says he did not hear what she said and she repeated herself. They leave for the office from there. Rajveer is shown coming out from behind a wall and remembers how he had put the egg in the bread that the servant had bought.

Rajveer goes to the office and DD asks him what he was doing there. She tells him to go to the hospital to get his cast removed. He moves to leave and gives her a mean look.

Roshni presents spicy salad to Siddharth as dinner. She reminds him that since there was o money they would have to eat it. He eats it and his head is about to explode from the hotness. She gives him water and taunts him. Siddharth calls his mum to complain about the spicy food, Simran taunts him as well. After dropping Siddharth's call, Simran got another call from the police station and she and Raj had to go and do some important work at the police station and they leave.

Siddharth bangs the bathroom door and screams at Roshni to come out so he can have his bath. She comes out and tells him the tap is not working and he cannot have his bath. She further tells him to call the plumber and he refuses saying that he would fix it. He fiddles with the tap until it breaks and start splashing water; Roshin goes in to help and they both slip and fall leading to a romantic moment which was broken by Bablu and Pratima who advised them to lock the door next time. 

Rajveer seeks DD, Mona, and Grandma's blessings and inform them that he has opened a new warehouse for his business and says that he will now be expanding his business to India. He then asks DD to cut the ribbon at its inauguration which she accepted.

Siddharth goes to his house and overhears Simran asking Raj how they would tell him something. He asks them what it was and his father lies that they were planning a long trip away. He tells them that he needs some supplies from his bathroom to fix his broken tap and also needs to shower but his parents try to stop him from going into his room in vain. He walks into his room to find smoke and a lady on his bed. He asks his parents who she was but they lied that she was the daughter of a friend who had done their family a big favour.

---------------------------
First of all, I still don't get what Rajveer's deal is.

Then why are Raj and Simran lying to Siddharth. I thought they were the coolest parents?

The expression on Sid's face when DD apologised, it was epic...

Wink!

#KingOfHearts || Episode Summary || Monday 26.09.2016

Pratima offers prayer offering to grandma and Mona. She goes ahead and offers it to Samaira who then tries to insult her by calling her middle class, someone who doesn't care about her diet and uneducated. Pratima's response to the insults were epic; she reminded her the middle class people didn't need to worry about their weight since they did a lot of work and that their god would not let anything happen to her if she ate the offering. She also reminded Samaira that she dropped out of college in her second year but she (Pratima) had a masters degree in English. Mona drags Samaira away from there before she misbehaved any further.

Roshni gives Siddharth coffee as he downloads movies. They fool around and heard Samaira scream for help. Everyone is shocked as Rajveer is brought in by some men all covered in blood. They say he was involved in an accident and they wanted to take him to the hospital but he refused and asked to be brought home. Everyone tries to convince Rajveer to go to the hospital in vain. He insists that he is fine but faints in the process. He is taken to his room assisted by Siddharth and Samaira; DD comes in and is also worried about Rajveer.

Siddharth goes to Mehta's house to clear his doubts regarding his involvement in the fake raid. He is denied access by Krish who did not allow him into the house and asked that he'd be thrown out. Samaira discusses her frustration of being stuck in DD's house with Mona. She said she was looking forward to moving out but now have to stay because of Rajveer's condition. She further told Mona that she would hire a nurse to take care of Rajveer as the work would be too much. 

Samaira feeds Rajveer some porridge and when she leaves to take the dishes out, Rajveer asks her to lock the door and make sure no one comes in so that he could rest. He is upset that she only feeds him porridge and then calls up his fake doctor to harrass him for telling them that he could only have porridge. He went ahead to tell him to send him some meat so he could eat.

A package arrives for Rajveer and was received by Roshni. On her way to give it to him, she bumps into Resham and Siddharth who told her he could smell chicken but didn't know where it was coming from. Roshni gives the package to Mona who takes it to Rajveer.

Mona offers to open the package for Rajveer since he was ill and perhaps in pain. He somehow manages to stop her. He eats the chicken and wonders how to throw the bones away. He leaves his room and takes the bones for disposal. In the living room, he finds DD and Siddharth. He eventually gets an idea of what to do with the bones that would stir up trouble.

The next morning, grandma screams at the sight of the chicken bones. The whole family wonders who put them there since they were strictly vegetarians. DD was quick to blame Siddharth because he was the only non-vegetarian amongst them. Even grandma believes this and was very upset at Siddharth. Rajveer sits in a corner and thinks that Siddharth will be sent out of the house for this act for sure. Roshni defends her husband and takes him away from there.

Siddharth is very upset that in spite of all his effort to do everything right, things don't seem to be going his way. He is sad that even grandma did not believe him. He wonders who might be trying to frame him and Roshni calms him down.

DD and Rajveer discuss the incident and Rajveer pretends to support Siddharth but DD tells hims that he does not know what Siddharth is capable of and how he has trapped his daughter with his love which is why Roshni cannot see whenever he does something wrong.

----------------------------------

Frankly, I think everyone is taking too much of crap from Samaira. All of them will be doing like mumu whilst she insults them. I mean there is so much that one can take.

Why do they all always keep quiet as against speaking up when much needed. I mean, when Sid was accused of the chicken eating, I expected that at least Bablu would have supported him. That is really annoying!

I missed Simran and Raj in today's episode, they are my favorite...

Wink!
