2. Karan Johar Gets Quirky for Rustom
Ranveer Singh’s fanboy ‘chupa rustom’ tweet for Akshay Kumar’s Rustom inspired Karan Johar to tweet a fun video promoting the film too. KJo might not have been able to slip into uniform like Ranveer, but he rocked the pout. He tweeted a message for AKshay saying-
Yaar Akshay I so wanted to out-do Ranveer Singh, but the naval officers’ uniform you sent me didn’t fit me. In fact I tore the pants. But anyway, I can pout better than Ranveer Singh. In fact I can pout better than you did in Dishoom, so here goes... Rustom, 8 days to go!Karan Johar, Filmmaker
3. Ayushmann Khurrana and Parineeti Chopra Bond Over Music
Ayushmann Khurrana, has turned into a big fan of Parineeti Chopra’s singing. The actor-singer is a successful playback himself and was pleasantly surprised by the chupa rustam singer in his Meri Pyaari Bindu co-star.
Parineet is fabulous. She has got a great voice and she is classically-trained. She should really take her singing seriously because she is brilliant. We bonded over music. There’s not a single moment on the set when we are not jamming. It’s so much fun jamming with her. We want to sing a duet. Parineeti and I also connected because we are not filmy people, we are real and very simple.Ayushmann Khurrana, Actor (as reported by PTI)
Akshay Roy’s directorial debut Meri Pyaari Bindu will see Ayushmann playing a Bengali. He’s been having a blast shooting for the film in Kolkata.
Apart from learning Bengali language, the film has actually brought me closer to the culture, to Bengali people. I now understand them better and I am loving my time here in Kolkata.Ayushmann Khurrana
We’re curious to watch the film and to hear a duet sung by Parineeti and Ayushmann.
4. Twinkle Khanna’s Pokemon Go Experience
Twinkle Khanna decided to play Pokemon Go with her brother and guess what happened. No, she didn’t get mobbed by fans, but she did get kinda lost. The brother-sister duo landed up fairly far from home without realising and had to hail an auto-rickshaw back. The celebrity author-blogger-actress shared her fun experience on Twitter. We’re just surprised she didn’t get followed by a bunch of fans.
5. Vanity Fair Features Deepika Padukone As Hollywood’s Next Gen
Deepika Padukone is beating one milestone after another and it’s making us grin with pride. Having recently become the highest paid female actor in Bollywood, the Bajirao Mastani actress now features in the iconic fashion magazineVanity Fair, as one of Hollywood’s new crop of actors. She’s seen in a sexy Gucci outfit and looks like she’s out to win it all. This is a big deal for Deepika considering that she’s yet to make her Hollywood debut, but is making all the right moves there. She’s quite the fashionista too and really knows how to own whatever she wears. Deepika always chooses comfort over everything else when it comes to defining her personal style.
I think you have to feel complete. I think you need to feel like you’re wearing the clothes and the clothes aren’t wearing you.Deepika Padukone (Vanity Fair)
We couldn’t agree more. Maybe that’s why Deepika looks downright stunning in WHATEVER she picks, be it a pair of ripped denims or a royal ensemble. And when it comes to draping a sari, she’s unbeatable. Vanity Fair has also included other young actors such as Elizabeth Debicki from The Great Gatsby and The Man From U.N.C.L.E, Lily Collins who played Snow White inMirror, Mirror, and Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough, who was seen inMad Max: Fury Road.
Hollywood is clearly sitting up and taking notice of Bollywood’s leading lady already. Her upcoming flick xXx: Return of Xander Cage with Vin Diesel will hit theatres on January 2017.
