1. Cakes, Flowers & PDA: B-Town Celebrates Valentine’s Day
Bollywood never tires of love stories and I bet it has influenced our ways to love as well. And on love’s own day, the celebs have messages of love - along with flowers, cakes, chocolates and loads of awww-inducing pictures - for their loved ones and fans.
While Akshay Kumar got a bouquet of flowers for wife Twinkle Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan shared a lovely snap with wife Jaya. Aamir Khan shared his favourite romantic song and Milind Soman a cosy picture with his girlfriend.
Take a look at how Bollywood celebrated Valentine’s Day 2018 on The Quint.
2. Salman Khan’s Valentine’s Day Gift: The First Look of ‘Love Ratri’
As a Valentine’s Day gift to the public, Bollywood’s Bhai, Salman Khan tweeted out the first look of Love Ratri, a film launching Aayush Sharma and Warina Hussain in their first film. Newcomer Aayush Sharma is Salman Khan’s brother-in-law.

3. ‘Pari’ Teaser: Valentine’s Day Will Never Be the Same Again
Bollywood doesn’t have a great legacy of horror films. Ramsay brothers created a cult of course but not in the serious horror film genre. As aren’t the interminable franchises from the Bhatt camp. But Anushka Sharma’s Pari might just change this.
Starring Anushka and Parambrata Chatterjee, Pari appears to be about a woman possessed by an evil spirit. Another teaser of the film has just been released, and believe you us, Valentine’s Day would never be the same again after you watch this.

4. Varun’s ‘October’ Teaser Is a Love Spell for Valentine’s Day
The first teaser of Shoojit Sircar’s slice-of-life love story, October starring Varun Dhawan and newbie, Banita Sandhu is out. The film is being touted as a “unique take on love” and will show Varun in a different light.
Speaking about his character, Varun had earlier said, "October is a beautiful story in which I play a character with many layers. It's a difficult character to play. I just want to surrender to my part and show people a new side of me. Shoojit da, Ronnie (Lahiri) and Juhi have always made good cinema I feel I feel grateful to join their team."

5. ‘Blackmail’ Teaser: Irrfan Khan’s Next Is a Quirky Comedy
It is Valentine’s Day, and another teaser that was released, in the horde of trailer releases was a quirky one - that of Blackmail. Running through a cramped neighbourhood, in nothing but his boxers, shoes and a bag over his head, is Irrfan Khan. We don’t see his face but the voice is unmistakable. The voiceover reveals that even the running man doesn’t know how he got there.
Produced by T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar and RDP Motion Pictures’ Deo, Blackmail will be in cinemas on 6 April. The cast also includes Divya Dutta, Arunoday Singh, Omi Vaidya, Anuja Sathe, Pradhuman Singh Mall, and Gajraj Rao.
