Katrina Kaif who is the next guest on Karan Johar’s Celebrity chat show Lift Kara De and she talks about Sallu and her struggling days.

Katrina reveals that she was only 19 years old when she shifted to Mumbai and did not know much about the living in Mumbai.

She says, ‘Salman Khan, his family and friends looked after me’.

When Karan asked her about her relationship status, she said, “I believe that until you are married you are single!”

Well now that’s a very diplomatic answer.

Saif: I too deserve Padma Shri

While some people, especially from Bishnoi Community went crying hoarse when Saif Ali Khan was awarded with Padma Shri. However Saif believes that he deserved Padma Shri and will live up to people’s expectations.

Saif said, “If you look at the awardees over the last couple of years, all of them have not exactly invented a nuclear bomb.”

Saif was acquitted few years ago for killing endangered animal – black bucks along with friend and actor Salman Khan.

Talking about his award Saif continues, “I do agree that there will be a few raised eyebrows because I am relatively younger and perhaps there are more deserving people out there.”

Do you think Saif deserved the Padma Shri honor?

"Should I retract that I'm an Indian? " - SRK



After Shah Rukh Khan refused to apologize for his comments on Pakistani cricketers, Uddhav Thackeray has told NDTV "If SRK doesn't retract his statements, I cannot guarantee anything."Thackeray said to NDTv's Barkha Dutt, "We don't enjoy this sort of tension either. Where was the need for Shah Rukh to make those comments?" Thackeray denies that the Sena is targeting Khan because the actor is a Muslim. He said, "There are Muslims in the Sena too. This is not a fight about a religion...it is a fight about two nations."

Thackeray's Shiv Sena has sent letters to cinema-owners in Mumbai, ordering them to remove posters of Shah Rukh's forthcoming release, My Name is Khan. Cinemas have also been warned not to screen the Karan Johar-directed film, scheduled for release on Friday, February 12.

The Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan has said that strict action will be taken against anyone who tries to disrupt screenings of My Name is Khan. In Pune on Thursday, Chavan said, "On this issue, we are keeping an eye on everything they're (the Sena) saying. Let them do or say anything illegal and we won't be hesitant to take action against them ...anyone breaking the law won't be spared."

At a press conference in London on Wednesday, Shah Rukh said, "I think what I said is true of any person from any nation from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, America, England. That's how I think we've all been brought up. You say 'ok, my country is nice, I'm very proud of it, I'm very proud to have been born there and I wish a lot of people come to my country and participate in the goodness of my country.' If that is wrong then I think I need to relook (sic) at what my children are studying right now. I need to even ask people who think the statement is wrong 'do they have an issue with the schools their children are going to?' Because that's what they are being taught also. It's not a stand or a statement against anyone. It's actually, sort of what I individually feel and normally when a film is releasing - and I won't comment on this on a larger scale, because, it's nice for a Hindi film hero who is thought of as an icon to say this, but it scares me to say anything, because our stakes are very high. I'm really sorry. I would like to apologize to Karan Johar (the director), I apologize to Kajol and I'm immensely sorry to all our business partners that because of what I say or what I believe in the film and the work is going to be affected."

The controversy began when SRK, in an interview to NDTV's Prannoy Roy, said that he thinks Pakistani players should participate in the Indian Premiere League (IPL). At the auction for players for the next season of the IPL, 11 Pakistani cricketers were up for sale, but no bids were placed for them.

The Shiv Sena has since attacked Shah Rukh on a near-daily basis. On Thursday, Uddhav Thackeray told NDTV, "I am not attacking Shah Rukh because he is a Muslim...where was the need for him to make those comments?" Referring to the Aman ki Asha initiative, which is bringing Pakistani artistes to perform in India, Thackeray said, "Did we stop Aman ki Asha? But are our artists allowed to perform in Pakistan?"

The government has also said it will provide security to theatres screening the film. However, with the Sena making it clear that it will not allow theatres to show the film, producers and distributors worry that the film's release may have to be postponed.

Director Anurag Basu says, The story is very cute. Tanvi Azmi is playing Shah Rukh’s wife. They’re hiding inside their room and are dancing.”

Adman Prasoon Joshi says, “We didn’t know if SRK will agree to the idea. I didn’t want to make him Veer Zaara kinda old. It had to be different. So, pehle Shah Rukh ko buddha banaya humne pictures mein, and then showed it to him. He was very sporting and lovedthe idea.”

Prasoon adds, “He liked the script a lot. Probably he never got a script like that before. His first reaction was, ‘Well, I love it!’ He probably he trusted my work. He didn’t take time to say yes.“Everybody has been going wow over the ad. He has emoted really well. There is a beautiful chemistry between him and Tanvi Azmi.”

Anurag Basu also revealed a secret, he said, “Shah Rukh called his make-up guy and gave him the brief on how to do his look. After the whole get-up was done, he did something very cute.

He clicked a picture of himself and sent it to Gauri on the phone, asking, ‘Will you still love me when I am old and look like this?’ I am sure he will look much more handsome when he is old!”

Agree with you Anurag, he looks sexy even as a oldy.

Brothers suffering from progeria want to meet Big B

Two brothers, Ikramul Khan and Ali Hussain who are suffering from progeria, a disease that accelerates ageing process, say their last wish is to meet Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and thank him for creating awareness about it.

Amitbah plays a 13-year-old boy suffering from progeria in his forthcoming film Paathat releases this Friday.

"We want to meet Amitabh Bachchan to say thanks for creating awareness about progeria. We look forward for someone to arrange our meeting with Amitabh Bachchan because it is beyond our reach to contact or approach him," said Ikramul, 23 over telephone from his ancestral house in Dumri village in Saran district of Bihar.

Ikramul and Ali's faces and bodies shows symptoms of progeria, and they look middle-aged despite being in their early twenties.

Amitabh is one of their favourite actors other than Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan. They enjoy watching Hindi films and singing songs.

"We wish to meet Amitabh Bachchan but till date it is unfulfilled," said Ali, 22.

Ikramul and Ali said that ever since they have come to know that a film called "Paa" starring Big B as progeria patient is coming, they wanted to meet him.

"It is now our last wish to spend some time with Amitabh Bachchan," Ali said.

The brothers' parents are finding it difficult to fulfil their wish. Their mother Razia Khatoon said: "How can we approach Amitabh Bachchan, who is a big star, to request him to share a few moments with my sons."

Both the brothers are confident and hopeful. "God will fulfil our wish. We will meet him one day," they said.

Doctors have told Khatoon that her sons have no chance of living beyond their early twenties. Her three elder daughters - Guriya, Rehana and Rubina too died of progeria at 17, 24 and 13 respectively.

Khatoon says that her family is cursed as five of her eight children suffered from progeria. "My three other children are healthy and normal," she said.
