1. Aamir Khan to Star in 24 Season 2?

After Satyamev Jayate, Aamir Khan will now reportedly be seen on the small screen in the second season of Anil Kapoor’s thriller series 24. Aamir has been all praises about the show’s first season and the two actors also go back a long way. Season 2 promises to be more action packed and will go on air in July 2016. Aamir has apparently given his nod to being on the show in a walk-on part and we can’t wait to know more about his role and character.

2. Amitabh Bachchan Makes a Valid Point About Aishwarya’s Purple Lips

Even though Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s purple lips had consumed social media and our imagination (or the lack of it) for almost two whole days, things have now moved on. That’s what TE3N actor and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan likes (and hates at the same time) about the platform too. Mr Bachchan spoke about the whole Cannes fuss around his daughter-in-law at a recent event where he was promoting Ribhu Dasgupta’s upcoming thriller.

Social media gives someone the opportunity to express themselves. You’ve never had that opportunity before, you never knew what others were thinking about you, at least now you know. And the good part is, it lasts for a day or half-a-day; the next day, something else comes up. Things move so rapidly in today’s life that you don’t have time. One’s attention span is so limited and so small. Whether it is watching the news on TV, every two minutes you hear a bang in the middle of the most sincere news, purely because they don’t want you to get to your remote and change the channel. That’s how life has become. Social media gives everybody a voice, everybody an opportunity, everybody a democratic opportunity to express themselves. What’s wrong with that?

Mr Bachchan has a point. One doesn’t win without taking risks, and who doesn’t make mistakes? In fact, it’s nice to know that even beauty queens can go wrong. Well, social media must hold its peace now once and for all.
