Jaya Bachchan and Rekha bond at a recent awards night, Abhishek Bachchan takes Twitter trolls head on and more.

1. Jaya Bachchan Gives Rekha a Flying Kiss

Every time the Bachchans cross paths with Rekha, it makes news. At a recent awards night Jaya Bachchan and Rekha met briefly as they landed up on the red carpet at the same time. But the two ladies didn’t ignore each other. In fact, we saw Jaya Bachchan giving Rekha a flying kiss. These pictures say it all. Why is this a big deal? Well, industry insiders and fans at large know of Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan’s romantic past. But it seems the two ladies handle it more than maturely. 

2. Is Varun Dhawan’s Judwaa 2 on Hold Because of KJo?

Looks like Judwaa 2 will have to wait for a while because Varun Dhawan is busy with multiple projects. His next film will be Dishoom and after that he will be doing the sequel to Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, which is titled Badrinath Ki Dulhania and is being produced by his mentor Karan Johar. The media quizzed Varun on this at a recent event and this is what the actor had to say-

I think it is too early to talk about Judwaa 2. There’s Dishoom coming up and one more surprise is there. We will talk about Judwaa 2 later. 

Varun Dhawan, Actor

3. Abhishek Bachchan is Busy Replying to Trolls

So what makes Abhishek Bachchan angry? Of late, Twitter trolls seem to have been getting to him. The actor got some nasty comments on social media, for for being seen with his father Amitabh Bachchan at the India-Pakistan T20 match at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. He obviously thought it was important to respond to the meanest ones and take their criticism head on. It isn’t easy being the star kid and Abhishek seems to know very well how to deal with haters. Check out junior Bachchan’s tweets-

@mainbhiengineer well a million tweets will most probably take you a lot more than 3 hrs and will cost you more than 300rs. U do the maths!!
