First Song From 'Ishq Forever' Titled 'Bilkul Socha Na' Unveiled

Legendary music composer Nadeem Saifi (of Nadeem-Shravan fame) is making a comeback to Bollywood with upcoming film 'Ishq Forever' and fans of the composer will be delighted to know that the first song of the film was unveiled today.

The song, which is titled 'Bilkul Socha Na', features newcomer Krishna Chaturvedi and Ruhi Singh as they romance each other in South Africa. Though the song video looks heavenly, it seems that shooting the song was quite a Herculean task for the film team.


Producer Shabeer Boxwala revealed, "In one of the scenes of the song, the lead pair is seen going into a lake and at the time, as we were shooting during winter, the lake was freezing cold. However, Krishna and Ruhi put up a brave front and entered the lake to give the shot, though it was extremely cold. It was not an easy task at all as the two actors also had to give the right expressions despite the chilly weather and the cold water."

Sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Palak Muchhal, the lyrics of the track have been penned by Sameer.

Produced by Ajay Shah, Harry Gandhi and Shabeer Boxwala under their banner Friday Cine Entertainment, 'Ishq Forever', which has been directed by Sameer Sippy, is slated to release on January 29.

Apparently, Salman Khan had an argument with his rumoured ladylove Iulia Vantur post his 50th birthday bash

If gossip mills are to be believed, Salman Khan is becoming possessive about rumoured girlfriend, Romanian actress-anchor Iulia Vantur.

A source close to the actor confirms the news and says, "Yes, Salman bhai was a bit unhappy with Iulia and when the party wrapped up, he conveyed the same to her politely. He didn't yell at her."

Aditi Rao Hydari: I still feel like an outsider in Bollywood

In her six-year Bollywood career, Aditi Rao Hydari has tasted both success and failures, but the actress says she still feels like an outsider as she does not have a family clout in the industry.

Aditi first appeared as Rama Bua in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's 'Delhi-6', but it was Sudhir Mishra's 'Yeh Saali Zindagi' which brought the actress to prominence.

"I do feel like an outsider in little little ways. For example, on social media, sometimes I feel I don't have the support system which somebody else has. When I put something on social media, some people will support me and be genuinely sweet about it, but for somebody else, they have all their cousins, friends, uncles and aunts," Aditi told PTI.

"All they have to do is send them a text saying 'please do it' and they'll do it. It's natural, which is why I never resent it. I also know it is not important in the larger scheme of things but it becomes important because in today's digital world we are so image driven...," she said.

The 29-year-old 'London Paris New York' star says she neither has a big actor nor a production house back-up, which makes her struggle to be a part of films that she wants to work in.

"I don't have a big production house, big director or a big actor backing me. I am taking things step by step. I came from outside, I knew nobody, I don't know how to play the game, I can't think of schemes or ways to put myself ahead of others or back stab somebody. Everyday is a struggle. Till today I struggle to do the films I want to do," she said.

Even though she has worked with directors like Mehra, Sudhir Mishra, Imtiaz Ali ('Rockstar'), Subhash Kapoor ('Guddu Rangeela'), Aditi says she does not have the liberty to collaborate with a filmmaker of her choice.



"I don't think I have the power to say today I want to work with so and so. But I do have the power to choose from what is in front of me, and the power to hope. I am a very positive person and I know if something great is meant for me, it will come to me," she said.

Aditi will be next seen in Bejoy Nambiar's 'Wazir', which also stars megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar.

The "Murder 3" actress bagged the drama-thriller by auditioning for the role, but she has no qualms about it.

"I have no ego about auditions. As an actor I think it is right to do an audition, it is fine. I am not talking about going to an audition with 85 people already standing in the line. I don't believe in that kind of process, because that is ridiculous. But you have to feel the character and the person has to see you that way," she said.

In 'Wazir', Aditi will be seen playing a young mother. The actress is happy she is doing different roles as it is easy getting stereotyped in Bollywood.

"Stereotyping is a bit of an issue. The problem is people give terms to things - niche film, bubbly girl, intense actress, big star movie... I wish we don't trap ourselves in these terms, because we limit ourselves badly," she added.

2015 Recap: Bollywood 'couples' who kept rumour mills buzzing

2015 saw a number of Bollywood stars being linked up, but they kept us guessing all year long. Wonder if they will continue to play coy

Secret dinners, hush hush holidays, sweet exchanges on social media and more, but they will not admit to being a twosome. This year, a few Bollywood actors kept rumour mills buzzing for their off-screen chemistry with co-stars or industry outsiders, but they have still not confirmed their relationship status. A look at such 'couples':

Pulkit Samrat and Yami Gautam


The two started seeing each other while working for Divya Khosla Kumar's upcoming film 'Sanam Re'. By the time the Simla schedule began, they had become inseparable, claim sources. The link up buzz followed with cracks in Pulkit's marriage (to longtime sweetheart Shweta Rohira, Salman Khan's rakhi sister). The wife has confirmed that she is splitting from Pulkit, but he and Yami don't seem ready yet to talk about their relationship.

Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra


When they debuted together in 'Student of the Year' (2012), they were just as friendly as co-stars are expected to be. But somewhere down the line, the two seemed to have gotten serious about each other. Ever since they returned from their 2015 New Year holiday, they are speculated to be a couple. The buzz reached a crescendo when they began shooting for Shakun Batra's 'Kapoor & Sons' earlier this year. A long schedule in Coonoor and Ooty apparently ignited the spark. Alia has been clicked visiting Sid's home in Bandra though the two evade being spotted together in public. When asked about their relationship, they prefer to just smile. If the grapevine is to be believed, the two are going strong.

Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover


Bips took everyone by surprise when she agreed to star opposite the television actor in the horror flick, 'Alone'. During the shoot, both were going through personal upheavals - the actress had parted ways with beau Harman Baweja while Karan's marriage with actress Jennifer Winget had ended. Initially, it appeared that their love story was a publicity stunt for their film. But long after the film released, Bips and Karan continue to paint the town red with their romance. The duo is often spotted at nightclubs and have even holidayed together. The two have been posting their lovey dovey snapshots on social media, but still refuse to admit that they are a couple.

Vidya Balan hospitalized for suspected kidney stones

Bollywood actress Vidya Balan has been admitted to Mumbai Hinduja hospital for suspected kidney stones.

“Vidya is currently in expert hands at Hinduja Hospital and is well on her way to recovery,” Vidya’s spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday.

She was admitted to the hospital by her husband Siddharth Roy Kapur on Tuesday after she suffered from shooting pain in her back while boarding a connecting flight from Abu Dhabi taxiing for take-off, the statement said.

The couple had planned to ring in the New Year and Vidya’s birthday which falls on 1^st January at an undisclosed location abroad.

A source said, “The couple boarded a connecting flight from Abu Dhabi to their (undisclosed) holiday destination and while the aircraft was preparing to take off, she experienced a sharp pain in her back. The pain was so severe that paramedics had to be called on board and later, they were deplaned. She was taken to a clinic at the airport for further tests. Her temperature had also shot up.”

The pain was stern and paramedics were called aboard following which Vidya and Siddharth were deplaned. She was taken to a clinic at the airport for examination, it said.

After taking some medicines, the couple took a flight back to Mumbai and Vidya was immediately rushed to a suburban hospital. “A few tests later, doctors suspected kidney stone. She is now being treated and will be discharged soon,” added the source.

Confirming the news, Vidya’s spokesperson said, “She is currently in expert hands at the hospital and is well on her way to recovery.”

Khan Market v/s Salman Khan: The battle begins

Superstar Salman Khan got into a fresh legal trouble. The very old Khan Market Traders Association is planning to sue actor Salman Khan over the name of his new online shopping platform — khanmarketonline.com.

On his 50^th birthday, while talking to media Salman Khan talked about the launch of the new online portal. The online shopping portal was launched on his 50th birthday on December 27. The portal is yet to start operations but registrations began.

"A gift for my fans. Http://www.KhanMarketOnline.Com register now for a special treat. And lots more to come," he posted on Twitter and Facebook.

"We are a world-famous market. How can the actor use our market's name for his portal? If he announces discount for merchandise on his portal, customers will turn up here and ask for the same. They are bound to be confused," association president Sanjiv Mehra says.

The traders will approach Delhi high court when it reopens on January 4. The 65-year-old Khan market in New Delhi with 150 shops and 35 restaurants is the most expensive market in India from last five years. It was placed 21st on a list of costliest retail locations in the world and the most expensive in the country in a recent real estate survey.

However legally speaking, they don't have much of a case, feel lawyers. "There is no trademark infringement in this case. There must be thousands of Khan Markets in the country. It is likely to be dismissed as a frivilous litigation if and when it is filed," Sanjay Upadhyay, a Supreme Court advocate, says. But Mehra differs. "Since the name Khan Market has been with us for ages we have a right on it. In the case of Khan Chacha (an eatery), The court ruled in its favour because of its popularity," he says.

"There's a common legal remedy to protect unregistered trademarks. But because the two parties here are not competitors in the same trade and it is unlikely that their businesses will be affected, I don't see any merit of the case," Bangalore-based legal researcher and founder of Alternative Law Forum Lawrence Liang says. Social jurist advocate Ashok Agarwal dismisses it as a publicity stunt. "There is no provision in the law for such claims. This will just give publicity to both the market and the portal." Salman Khan had tweeted, "A gift for my fans... register (on the website through social media) now for a special treat. And lots more to come," on his birthday.

Bigg Boss 9: Prince chooses task over Nora

The luxury budget task ‘Jewel Thief’ continued on day 80 of the show which also saw contestants getting into heated argument over the task. Ultimately, the police team comprising Rochelle Rao, Prince Narula, Kishwer Merchantt and Priya Malik win the task.

Earlier at midnight, Prince changes the position of the diamonds to confuse the thieves, while Priya puts oil on them so that the diamonds slip-off from thief’s hands. However, Bigg Boss tells them that their actions will have consequences on the luxury budget.

Prince decides to give his full to the task and tells Suyyash that he has distanced himself from Nora and will not let her affect his game. He further says that he will test Nora’s reliability and loyalty further on in the game and if her feelings are fake she won’t be able to hide it for long.

Nora also tells Kishwer and Suyyash not to talk about her and Prince’s relationship and later tells Prince that this could be Suyyash’s game plan.

Priya and Mandana are still at loggerheads and get into a tiff yet again. During the task Mandanacalls Priya a loser as she is constantly watching her while she was near the diamonds. Priya taunts Mandana by saying that she is a natural thief and as she has stolen chocolates and Rishabh’s items. Mandana reacts by calling Priya a mosquito always buzzing in other people’s business, while Priya retaliates by calling Mandana a ‘massive dragon’.

In course of the task, Keith feels that Suyyash, who is the ‘sanchalak’, is being partial towards the police team. During the task, Rishabh tries to escape from the jail and in the process throws Priya’s shoes away. Priya in turn breaks the pot of water meant for Rishabh and both of them clash. Rishabh is let loose after Keith gets arrested for stealing the diamonds.

Rochelle gets upset as Keith says that in course of the task, he does not consider her as his girlfriend and she should not get influenced by her emotions either. She tells him that he is not respectful towards her. However, after the task, Keith makes up by giving her a tight hug and calling her his ‘diamod’.

Ahead of the New Year eve, Bigg Boss also gives them an opportunity to for the housemates to purchase fashionable clothes for the occasion. While the girls choose Indian wear, the male members mostly preferred suits.
