Movies / Bollywood Hungama/ Bollywood News  
While the exact guest list for the ‘Wedding Of The Year’ (with due apologies to Priyanka and Anushka) is unknown, it is very clear that hardly anyone from Bollywood actually made it to Lake Como. This was a decision taken by the couple, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone in the final week before their marriage and in fact their close friends from the film fraternity advised them to exclusively invite their non-Bollywood relatives and friends. A source close to the development informs, “Ranveer and Deepika were keen to have a handful of close friends among the invitees at the wedding. Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, Rohit Shetty and Sanjay Leela Bhansali were invited. But they suggested to the couple that it would be better if Bollywood was completely blocked from the wedding. Inviting a few from Bollywood would make the rest restless.” This explains the zero-presence of Bollywood at the Lake Como wedding. The handpicked guests were treated like royalty.

Movies / Bollywood Hungama/ Bollywood News  
The feisty talented Kubbra Sait, who made a big impact with her role as the doomed transgender Kukoo in the Netflix series Sacred Games, has come out in open support of Nawazuddin Siddiqui after actress Niharika Singh accused him of sexually inappropriate behaviour. Kubbra says she is being hounded and trolled for her stance. “But I don’t care about those who want me to say what they want to hear. Why should I not stand by Nawaz... just because he is a man? Do men always have to be in the wrong? It may be the politically correct thing to demolish the reputation of a man accused by a woman. But where is the proof? You can’t rant against someone and be taken seriously. If she (Niharika Singh) said Nawaz was a  bad actor, there would be his body of work to disprove her. But how does one prove a man’s guilt or non-guilt when a woman accuses him of sexual misconduct?” Kubbra sees Niharika Singh’s outburst as a personal relationship gone wrong. “You can’t pull a relationship out of its pers..

He is all set to file an RTI against the CBFC. “My questions are simple - if  Mr Prasoon Joshi who is  the chairperson of the CBFC is rarely seen in the CBFC office then who takes all day-to-day decisions on his behalf? And how can we have a functional efficient censor board when its chairperson is busy with other things?

She said that the washbasin was small so it is legit that a few droplets of water would fall around. Jasleen did not back down from the fight. Later, Bigg Boss announced that there will be a task between the girls who have to take up challenge and impress Rohit Suchanti. Srishty won it and claimed that since outer beauty fades, it's the inner beauty that's more important to her. Ro..
