Actor Adnan Siddiqui recently wrapped up his hosting stint on Pakistan’s biggest reality show, Tamasha. The reality show was inspired by the global format of Big Brother show, which is adapted as Bigg Boss in India.
Adnan had dinner with the Tamasha inmates in the last week of the show. Now in the first week of Bigg Boss 16, host Salman Khan enters the house to have dinner with the contestants.
The Ahista Ahista star took notice of Salman’s latest act and took to his Instagram stories to share a cryptic post.
The actor shared a collage showing how he dined with his contestants first and the Ek Tha Tiger star followed it later.
Siddiqui captioned his post as, “My dear friends/critics, I rest my case.”
Earlier Adnan and Tamasha’s makers were scrutinised for copying Bigg Boss, and the lack of novelty in the show’s basic format.
Indian actor and model Uorfi Javed has slammed contemporaries Shehnaaz Gill and Kashmera Shah for supporting the alleged sexual harasser Sajid Khan, post his entry in Bigg Boss 16.
The makers of the show are receiving a lot of backlash over the presence of Sajid. Many are even calling for a boycott on the show. Recently, Kashmera Shah landed her support for Khan on her Twitter handle.
Sajid’s next film’s heroine, Shehnaaz Gill also sent a video message for the director, while wishing him well for his stint on the show.

Reacting to all of it, Javed took to her Instagram story and wrote, “Big boss why would you do that? When you support sexual predators, you’re actually telling them that it’s ok what we they’ve done. These men need to know this behaviour is not okay and they cannot get away with it!”
Javed continued, “Stop working with sexual predators !!! It’s not controversial , it’s just disgraceful! Sajid khan never apologised for what he did! Imagine what the girls he harassed must be feeling ? So you don’t really have to worry cause even if you harass multiple women you will still get to be on the biggest show on India !! Controversy k Iiye aap har cheez thode support karenge ! #colors stop supporting sexual predators !!!”
In another story, Uorfi also declared that she would have not been a part of Bigg Boss 16 even if she was invited because of Sajid Khan.
She goes on to write, “If women like Shehnaaz Gill, Kashmera Shah are free to support a s*xual predator, I am free to criticize him and both of them too.”
While opening up about her career trajectory in a recent interview, actor Saboor Aly said that she believes that she is the Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan of Pakistan.
Saboor revealed that Khushhal is five years younger than her and being cast opposite him definitely felt like being Bollywood’s Khans who work with extremely younger leading ladies. Khushhal is a newcomer in the industry and he has just started his career. People loved watching his pairing with Saboor.
Earlier this month, the Fitrat star took to her Instagram stories to share her stance on a viral blooper video from the latest episode of her drama Mushkil.
Saboor also took a dig at the drama’s editor.
Recently social media users paused and screen-recorded a scene where Faraz (Khushhal Khan) is fighting with his brother while his wife Sameen (Saboor) is seen laughing in the frame, completely out of character. She snaps back to the character immediately but even the editing department couldn’t cut out the error.
The clip went viral immediately and then started a plethora of memes on the micro-blogging site. Exposing Saboor’s hilarious acting slip, a fan wrote that it was easily their “favourite” bit from the show. “My favourite bit from the entire show is these guys fighting for life and then the camera pans to Saboor and the girl is out of her character, laughing.”

Another netizen blamed the editing team for not being “paid enough” to see the slip-up.

Based on an estranged equation between three friends navigating through love and life, the Marina Khan directorial Mushkil has been a household favourite for various reasons with the top one being Saboor and Khushhal’s chemistry.
Indian singer-politician Sidhu Moose Wala passed away on May 29th this year. He was shot dead in his which had a connection with his famous song, 295 that he created for his enemies. Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar has taken responsibility for his murder, and Lawrence Bishnoi and others are involved. Now his father Balkaur Singh claims his ‘brothers’ turned out to be his enemies.
A lot has happened ever since Sidhu passed away. A statue has been erected at his cremation site in Mansa and his father inaugurated it. He broke down and even expressed how hard it was to see his son in that form at the age of just 28. Police continue their investigation and several linked to the case have been arrested.
In the latest statement to Indian media, Balkaur Singh said, “Some black sheep became enemies of his career. It was his misfortune that people whom he met at the beginning (of his career) were not the right persons. He could not realize that those who were claiming to be his brothers now would become his enemy tomorrow. I will take their names. Let the time come. It is a matter of a few days. I will make everything clear about who did what.”
Meanwhile, out of 6 shooters who killed Sidhu Moose Wala, three have been arrested. 2 of them have been neutralised while the remaining one is still absconding.
Days after Sidhu’s murder, Mumbai Police reached Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s house on Monday after a death threat letter had been sent to him and his father, Salim Khan.
Salim Khan’s guards had spotted an unsigned letter at Mumbai’s Bandra Bandstand promenade. The letter had a death threat for the Khans, “tumhara Moose Wala kar denge (you will end up like Moose Wala)”.
Following the discovery of the letter, an FIR was registered by Mumbai Police, an official said. On early Sunday morning, Salim was sitting on a bench at the Bandra Bandstand, which is his routine, after a morning walk when an unidentified man handed him a letter which mentioned a threat to kill Salim and Salman, the official said.
Later, with the help of his security personnel, Salim Khan contacted the police and an FIR was registered under section 506-II (Criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Bandra police station.
Bishnoi had reportedly planned a plot to assassinate Khan over his involvement in a blackbuck poaching case. Blackbucks are considered sacred creatures by the Bishnoi community.
Bollywood star-couple of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone bought a sea-facing quadruplex in suburban Bandra for INR119 crore on Monday.
They purchased the apartment spread across floors 16, 17, 18 and 19 of Sagar Resham, a building at Bandstand in the close vicinity of Shah Rukh Khan’s bungalow ‘Mannat’ and Salman Khan’s pad in Galaxy Apartments.
A stamp duty of over INR 7 crore has been paid for the transaction, which includes the purchase of 11,266 sq ft space, an exclusive 1,300 sq ft terrace and 19 parking lots, the sources said. The per square feet price works out to around INR 1 lakh.
The quadruplex is likely to serve as the primary home for Singh and his actor wife Deepika Padukone. Sources said they were in the market for nearly three years now with a mandate to look for an independent bungalow in Juhu and Bandra localities where a lot of celebrities stay.
Last year, the couple had bought a second home at Alibag for INR 22 crore.
At present, Sagar Resham does not boast of marquee names who will be neighbours of the star couple, sources added.
When contacted, real estate consultancy firm JLL India’s senior director and head (west) for residential services, Ritesh Mehta, said the price paid by the actor is as per the market trend. A property at this location commands a price of INR 90,000-Rs 1.10 lakh per square feet.
Salman Khan and Boney Kapoor’s friendly relationship strained when Boney’s son Arjun Kapoor started dating Arbaaz Khan’s ex-wife Malaika Arora. This is also why Khan produced Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai without the senior Kapoor’s involvement, who had produced Wanted.
Now, at the IIFA awards ceremony in Abu Dhabi, Salman expressed his gratefulness towards the veteran producer. The Tiger 3 star said, “Boney ji has helped me throughout my life. When my career hit a rough patch, Boney Kapoor gave me a film called Wanted. After that, he gave another film No Entry.“
Salman also thanked senior actor Suniel Shetty, “When I didn’t have any money, actor Suniel Shetty had a shop called Mischief and I was eyeing a pair of stone wash jeans, boots, and a purse. I knew I couldn’t afford it because I didn’t have money. But Anna saw my eyes and decided to gift me what I yearned.” He even got teary eyed as he reached out towards the Hera Pheri hero’s son, Ahan Shetty.
Khan called producer Ramesh Taurani ‘God-like’ and revealed that he had helped him after Maine Pyaar Kiya, when he did not have work for about six months. He revealed, “I didn’t have any film for 6 months. Then a god-like man came in my life – Ramesh Taurani. At that time my father had made a fake announcement from JP Sippy by paying 2000 rupees in a film magazine. I didn’t have any film. Ramesh Taurani went to Sippy’s office and he gave him 5 lakh rupees for music at that time and that’s how I got the film Pathar Ke Phool.”
Bollywood star Ananya Pandey, in a detailed reply to the Narcotic Control Bureau (NCB), said that Aryan Khan has lied about her giving him weed. In her statement, she spoke at length about her friendship with actor Shahrukh Khan’s son Aryan and the WhatsApp chats between them in 2019.
Aryan, in his statement to the NCB, had alleged that Ananya gave him weed after taking it from her younger sister. However, the Gehraiyaan diva called Aryan’s statement false and said, “I am unaware as to why he is lying about this.”
Aryan had said in his statement to NCB last year, “Ananya has a younger sister who was caught by Ananya with weed. She was about 15-16 years old at the time. She was not a regular smoker and was misled. When Ananya found out, she did not want their parents to know, so she gave me the weed to dispose of, and I did.”
Pandey said that she and Aryan had been friends since childhood as their parents had been friends too. She said, “We were close friends until 2019, but after that, we both got involved in our work and drifted apart. However, we are still in touch and talk occasionally.”
“I want to state that I have never given any drug/contraband to anyone. I have never offered to give drugs/contraband to anyone. I have never even offered to pay anyone for drugs or contraband. I am not in the business of drug delivery or peddling. I do not know any drug dealer,” she said in her statement.
She added that her sister was into smoking loose tobacco until 2020. However, she is not into drugs. Ananya added that her sister does visit a psychologist for her eating disorder and such issues.
Aryan was taken to the NCB office after a cruise party was raided. On Sunday, the star kid was sent into custody in October 2021.
A major report in Indian media has unveiled that Bollywood actor Salman Khan rejected the blockbuster film Chak De India to not upset his fans in Pakistan.
Later the film was offered to Shah Rukh Khan in 2007 and the film turned out to be a huge blockbuster. During his interview with The Indian Express, he said that he does not regret not doing the film.
It’s no secret that Shah Rukh Khan’s 2007 hit Chak De! India was first offered to Salman Khan, however, what many might not know is that Salman rejected the film to safeguard his Pakistani fans’ feelings. Talking to The Indian Express in 2007 about the film which went on to become a major hit for SRK and filmmaker Aditya Chopra, the Dabangg actor said, “I don’t regret not doing the film but I agree that my judgement about it was wrong.”
The Ek Tha Tiger hero went on to list two reasons based on which he had rejected the film at the time.
“I had a problem with the climax. My reasoning was that if you lose to Pakistan then you also have to win with Pakistan. I also had a problem with the title. I wish they hadn’t added India to the title. I felt our fans in Pakistan and Bangladesh might feel bad.”
Chak De! India starred SRK as a disgraced hockey player who goes on to coach the Indian women’s hockey team to a world cup victory.
Salman has always greeted Pakistani celebrities with warmth.
