Shocking! Salman, Aamir - the new enemies had an ugly spat?

Shocking! Salman, Aamir - the new enemies had an ugly spat?

Although it is said that in Bollywood and politics there are neither friendship is permanents nor is the enmity. But there are a few such "BFF examples" which have not only set up examples but at the same time have re-defined the meaning of friendship.

And undoubtedly the one which Salman and Aamir share is one of the conspicuous example of the aforementioned fact.

But if recent reports published by one of the digital media portal are to be believed then they suggest that these days all is not well between these two most sought after Khans of Bollywood and they no longer share that warmth between themselves.

This media portal has also gone up till the extent of saying that Aamir and Salman's friendship has started developing cervices, and reportedly the reason for the same are their upcoming cine flicks Dangal and Sultan which share a stark resemblance with each other. On one hand it's Salman who is playing the character of a wrestler in Sultan whereas in Dangal it's Aamir who will be jumping into the Akhada. But that's not all...


As per the reporting medium things reached at lowest level between the two, when they reportedly had an ugly spat during a party hosted by Aamir at his Bandra residence. As per reports it all began in a happy environment where Aamir was seen heaping praises on Salman and his recently release cine flick Bajrangi Bhaijaan but things went worst when Aamir started dissecting the career choice of Salman. As per report Aamir told Salman that if he would have shown this kind of maturity at an early stage in his career, he would've had a lot of proud titles to look back upon and this comment wasn't taken lightly by Salman. Report also reveals that Aamir further claimed that it had all been too easy for Salman because he didn't have to worry about the story or screenplay as the audience lapped up his films and he didn't even work as hard as the other actors.

And then the entire hell break loose when Salman allegedly retaliated back with some not so pleasing remarks and stated that he might not be as hardworking as Aamir, but that he at least gave credit to the directors and writers of his films. The report also states that while leaving, Salman yelled out, calling Aamir a fake, and that things went ugly pretty quickly and a teary-eyed Aamir, along with everyone else, was left in a state of shock.

Well after seeing that stupendous camaraderie of Aamir and Salman though we find it difficult to believe that something of this sort may have happened at Aamir's party, but if it has happened then it is certainly one of the most disappointing news for the fans of both these heavy lifters of Bollywood. Now let's hope that this buzz turns out to be untrue and we see Salman and Aamir crushing these reports with heavy hands.

Mooch ado about wo-men: Bollywood actresses who dressed in drag

Mooch ado about wo-men: Bollywood actresses who dressed in drag


Donning a moustache, Alia Bhatt matches steps with co-star Shahid Kapoor in a song from their next 'Shaandaar'. Here's how other actresses in disguise rate on our entertainment meter...

In the second poster of Vikas Bahl's 'Shaandaar', lead pair Alia Bhatt and Shahid Kapoor were seen creating fake moustaches with the actress' tresses.


And when the first song of the film, 'Gulaabo', released recently, it all made sense. Dressed as a man with a pencil moustache, Alia matches steps with her co-star in the song and flirts with the bride (Sanah Kapur) in what appears to be a bachelor party at a barn. Though the actress looks nothing like a man, she does look cute as a button. With this, hitlist is tempted to pull out a list of a few other pretty faces who dressed in drag.

The versatile actress did her take on 'Charlie Chaplin' in 'Mr India' (1987). Sri is a huge fan of the Hollywood icon and her performance in this landmark film continues to be remembered even three decades later.

Vidya Balan

Rating: 8/10



She has a penchant for getting into the skin of the character she essays and even promoting her films in reel persona. In 'Bobby Jasoos' (2014), Vidya played a detective and comfortably breezed in and out of several male disguises while cracking clues and chasing culprits. There was buzz that she was particularly fond of sporting beards. During the film's promotions, she landed at Hrithik Roshan's doorstep in male disguise, leaving him stumped - he mistook her for a beggar and she took it as a compliment.

Rani Mukerji
Rating: 5/10


The 2009 film 'Dil Bole Hadippa!' was centered around a young woman who pretends to be a man to join a men's cricket team and fulfil her dreams of playing the gentlemen's game, sort of forbidden for girls in her village. Her character, Veera, was shown donning a thin moustache to become Veer, who wins a crucial match for her country with big hits over the fence.

In the comic caper 'Ek Se Badhkar Ek' (2004), there is a bank robbery sequence in which Ravishing Ravs turned into a Sardar. Bearded and turbaned, the actress had Asrani for company to raise the guffaws.

Tanuja
Rating: 8/10


In the crime thriller 'Do Chor' (1972), Tanuja metamorphosed into a male thief whenever she needed some baubles. She specialised in only robbing jewellery. Now if you look at the picture closely, Tanuja looks uncannily similar to a younger version of her son-in-law, Ajay Devgn.

Babita
Rating: 6/10


The evergreen track Kajra Mohabbat Walla in 'Kismat' (1968) had Babita get jiggy as a guy while co-actor Biswajeet dressed up as a woman. This role reversal grabbed eyeballs for its novel approach to a romantic track.

Saira Banu
Rating: 8/10


In her debut flick 'Junglee' (1961) with Shammi Kapoor, the actress had a brief scene in a male get-up.

She turns an astrologer and advises her co-star to heed the call of the hills. Later, in 'Victoria No 203' (1973), she dressed as a Victoria driver.


Saira Banu in Victoria No 203

The film had a diamond heist as the backdrop and Saira looked convincing despite the ridiculous wig.

Madhubala
Rating: 5/10


In 'Raj Hath' (1956), the actress dressed up as man to enter into the enemy's side to unearth their secrets. The ethereal beauty's disarming smile could not be mistaken for a man's, no matter what.

Is It An Open Challenge? Salman claims he is better than SRK

Is It An Open Challenge? Salman claims he is better than SRK


Bollywood superstar Salman Khan believes he is a better singer in comparison to his contemporary Shah Rukh Khan.

At a promotional event of of Salman's upcoming home production 'Hero', singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who has sung 'Yadaan Teriyaan', was asked this question and chose a safe reply. When asked who has better music sensibility -- Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan as he has collaborated with both of them, Rahat said, "I have heard only Salman Khan's song. I am yet to hear Shah Rukh Khan's song. Salman bhai can sing himself."

Salman, 49, interrupted the singer to say, "No chance ... it's a losing battle. Don't listen. He (Shah Rukh Khan) will raise my hand (in victory)."

The actor-producer said they wanted an established singer for the movie and chose Amaal Malik.

"I felt, why not take Amaal... He has the tune, he has composed the song (title song) well and he also sings well. If Himesh Reshamiya and Sajid Wajid can sing. His uncle (Anu Malik) also sings then why not him? He should get a chance," said Salman.

The 'Kick' star was all praise for another singer Palak Muchhal.

"Palak also sings well... She has an incredible voice.


She sang for 'Ek Tha Tiger'.. I make sure that she has something in my all films. If the song does well then new singers get chance ... it depends on tune," he said. "An idiot like me sung well ... I don't know sur (tune), beat but the song is getting so many hits. I used to repeat what the singers would sing and then sing," he added.

Salman has sung another version of the film's title song.

Directed by Nikhil Advani, "Hero" will mark the debut of Sooraj Pancholi, son of Aditya Pancholi and Athiya Shetty, the daughter of Sunil Shetty.

The film, a remake of Subhash Ghai-directed 1983 film of the same name will hit the screens on September 11.

Before the event began, the "Bajrangi Bhaijaan' star asked everyone in the audience to observe one minute silence in the memory of music composer Aadesh Shrivastava, who recently passed away due to cancer.

Rudeshock: Big B's Twitter account hacked, 'sex sites' followed

Cinematic icon Amitabh Bachchan approached the police to solve the mystery over "dirty abusive sms" that he had been receiving for a year, on Monday, when his Twitter account was hacked and 'sex sites' have been planted as 'following'.

The 72-year-old made a complaint via a letter addressed to a senior police inspector of the Juhu police station here.

In the letter, a scanned copy of which is with IANS, he wrote: "Dear Sir, Through a certain period of time, I have been receiving dirty, filthy, abusive sms messages on my personal phone. I attach herewith photocopies of my mobile screen containing the content that I speak about. I shall be grateful if you could investigate and take action against these perpetrators."

The 'Paa' actor even tweeted about the matter.

Hit-And-Run-Case: Finally a good news for Salman

Hit-And-Run-Case: Finally a good news for Salman

The Supreme Court on Monday declined a petition seeking cancellation of bail of Bollywood actor Salman Khan who was convicted and sentenced in a hit-and-run case.

The apex court bench headed by Chief Justice H.L. Dattu while declining the plea by one Sishilabai Himmat Rao Patil - the mother of Mumbai policeman and former PSO of Salman Khan Ravindra Himmatrao Patil - permitted her to withdraw her petition.

When her counsel M.L. Sharma urged the court to permit the petitioner to go to high court to raise the issues, the court said it was not stopping him from any course of action.

Sishilabai Himmat Rao Patil had moved the court seeking to be impleaded as a party in the hearing of the appeal by Salman Khan by Bombay High Court challenging his conviction and sentencing by the trial court coupled with the cancellation of bail and enhancement of sentence.

The petitioner's mother said her son Ravinder Himmsatrao Patil has contended that he was seated along with Salman Khan when the incident took place on the intervening night of 27/28 September 2002.


Ravindra Himmatrao Patil has alleged that Salman Khan, who was driving the car, was drunk when the incident took place.

The petitioner had challenged the Bombay High Court order granting bail to Salman.

Salman was granted bail by the Bombay High Court on the very day he was convicted and sentenced by the sessions court.

On May 6, Khan was found guilty in the September 28, 2002 hit and run case and sentenced to five years' jail for various charges, including 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder'.

One person was killed and four injured when the actor's car ran over them while they were sleeping on a pavement.
