The Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer Dilwale failed to create the magic that was expected of it. While SRK had expressed his disappointment with the film’s box office collections openly quite recently, it seems Kajol felt the same way about the Rohit Shetty film. According to a Pinkvilla report, Kajol apparently believed that she had made a mistake by turning down Sujoy Ghosh’s Durga Rani Singh, a powerful role, by agreeing to star in the Rohit Shetty flick.
2. “I Have Dreams and Ambitions and Work Very Hard To Achieve Them”, Says Priyanka Chopra
Quantico actress Priyanka Chopra recently spoke to the media about her ambitions, aspirations and the hard work it takes to fulfil them.
Priyanka Chopra, ActressMy life is pretty much same as everyone else’s, in the sense that I have dreams and ambitions and work very hard to achieve them. We each of us have our own personal struggles of trying to maintain the balance, finding time for ourselves, investing in our relationships and being the best person you can be. I’m also human.
Priyanka has turned co-producer and joined hands with nexGTv, a subscription-driven video entertainment mobile app, and celebrity digital network Fluence, to create a 14-part mobi-series It’s My City.
Priyanka ChopraThe creation of this show is more a collaborative effort than anything else between nexGTV, Fluence Endemol and Purple Pebble Pictures. It was the similarity in our thinking and our collective hunger to do something new and exciting that sealed the deal for me. The concept of four different people, with different backgrounds coming together under one roof and becoming a sort of family is something that you see very often in Mumbai. I myself have had a similar experience in this amazing city. Mumbai and Bollywood have been extremely kind and generous to me and have in many ways shaped who I am today. I will be forever grateful.

4. “I Always Speak My Mind”, Says Kangana Ranaut
Queen Kangana Ranaut recently told the media that she’s used to the backlash she gets for anything and everything she says, but that doesn’t stop her from speaking her mind. Kangana was asked to comment on the ongoing freedom of expression debate in the country and the bold actress said that one should avoid being hurtful to the sentiments of others.
Kangana Ranaut, ActressFreedom of expression cannot be such that it is hurtful to others’ sentiments as we are a country of so many languages, religions and colours. Forget speaking about the country on a public platform, even at home or at your workplace, you should think before you speak. One must understand the power of words. If it can be perceived in many ways, then please value those ‘many ways’ and come up with the most precise and accurate way to express yourself, so that if you have to go back and evaluate the content of your comment, you should not be in a place where you think that this does not belong to me.
Though Kangana’s comment might sound like she likes to play it safe, but the bold actress clarifies that she’s gotten rather used to receiving a ton of backlash for pretty much anything she says in public.
Kangana RanautI get so many backlashes for anything and everything that I say, but that’s okay. I speak because I don’t want to be a darling or ‘goody shoes’ for all. I always speak my mind and whatever I speak, I know some people love me and for some, I am a bad-ass.
Kangana is currently shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Rangoon.
